This is made worse because it's the ultimate commons problem: nobody is paying, everyone is suffering the costs. At least the people who uttered this stupidity paid for it and dearly, and damage was prevented.

This time, the scale and stakes are much bigger, potentially extinction level.
> NAT automatically prevents attackers from scanning for and attacking listening ports on the hosts behind it. Given that those who want a service to listen to the Internet should also know enough to forward the ports, I'd say it's a pretty important security benefit and one that has greatly slowed the spread of worms.

So does a few lines of iptables (which work just as well with IPv4), which even most ISP routers that support IPv6 have managed to get right. On the other hand the workarounds for when you actually do want to accept connections through a NAT (cough UPnP) have been consistently misconfigured or had implementations which are simply vulnerable.
In contrast, econometric literature has seen a huge shift toward identifying causal relations from observational data.

More than any other social science, economics has adopted this approach. Experimental fields (Psychology, Medicine) never really had to deal with observational data.
Many approaches are not new to statistics, to be sure, but many have been implemented and refined in econometrics. Courses in political science, sociology and management, for example, largely use econometric textbooks and papers nowadays.

Why is that the case?
Other social sciences have been more data driven before. That is to say, they lacked a coherent theoretical framework that would alert them to causality issues. Economics was early to adopt causal analysis techniques from stats - and look for observational equivalents to experimental science approaches - because the theory framework showed early on that regression based approaches (still being done a lot in sociology and management, for example) are usually not a good idea.

It is all a trade-off. Yes, these models are often not accurate, sometimes outright wrong. But, formal theories give you precise assumptions and causal chains, which means they can be quickly discarded as paradigms (General Equilibrium, Game Theoretic Equilibrium Refinements), and crucially, they tell you about empirical issues. This has happened to a MUCH SMALLER degree in social sciences that do not have these formal theories!

The notion that economics is behind in terms of empirical approaches compared to other observational social sciences is just not correct.

I will give you the point that econ textbooks are often bad in that regard. I mean, the standard micro textbook for grads is really just a treatment of differential manifolds with other names. But those textbooks are not to be read isolation. Intro textbooks I saw, on the other hand, do have real data.
It's probably because they announced it like this.

If Windows Server has been developed in such a way that a patch would just randomly reboot in the middle of the day or if anything would just reboot it unknowingly to the ops team then this is an OS problem and a reason why Windows Server is unfit to be used for servers rather than a patch problem.

A patch should be released as soon as possible and the OS should make it possible for the OPs team to install a patch at their own convenience and then there is no reason to withhold a patch ever. Sounds like a fundamental Windows issue and not a business practise issue.

I understand what you meant. And there is a sexist bias where hitting a teenage girl or an old lady is worse than hitting pretty much anyone else.

But that's not what we talk about most here. The main problem is more the general scare tactics. For instance with the Yellow Vests movements, there were several instance of the cops encircling the protestors without giving them an out, and then they threw tear gas at them. This terror technique is not just scary and uncomfortable, it's pretty darn dangerous, just because people get so tightly packed together. (One can be chocked just by the pressure).

But it's not as bad for PR as hitting a defenceless teenage girl.
Willingly choosing to leave your company because you don't like how your 50:50 partner is behaving is not 'losing' your company. It's giving it away. Let's face it as well, in any small startup, losing 1 of your founders is often the death knell. Especially if you're going to walk off with half the money. It doesn't sound like the company he left really lasted long after he left - it's got a website with no updates since 2015.

This article also shows a real lack of self-reflection and judgment. There are lots of lessons from this story and 'have more equity than your partner' is not the most important one. Thousands of startups fail because of inter-founder dynamics, there's lots of interesting stuff to talk about there. But if your approach to that is 'have 51% and vote my founder out', then your attitude is wrong.

Also, don't spread gossip on the internet about your cofounders! Now anyone who you consider partnering with in the future knows that if things don't work out, you're at risk of spilling their personal lives on the internet. I know that would be a red flag for me.
Wouldn't accepting only those that had such advanced cancers though skew any results? I'm very much in favor of these individuals getting any and all help they can as soon as possible but I want to remain optimistic about the validity of the results.

Roughly 1,000 people died. The population of Beijing was roughly 10,000,000. Chances are he went home and was ignored since he wasn't a student protestor and was basically a nobody. The most boring answer is most likely to be true but no one ever says that. Everyone always says "maybe he was killed".

The reason why I call it propaganda is because it is. The photos and videos are true. But the media decided to just show a small clip of the footage to make it more dramatic and suppressed the whole clip for years. The whole clip is less dramatic. Basically the same as the 3rd example https://www.boredpanda.com/examples-media-truth-manipulation...

Look at all the videos for the 30-year anniversary. None of them use the full clip. All the ones I've seen either just include the photo or cut out as the 3rd tank roles to a stop.

I've become more disillusioned with the media the more I travel and experience news as it happens and see how biased it is.

I was specifically addressing the FizzBuzz problem as stated in the original article a few years ago, not some random sanity checks for some positions. If you read that article and used it in interviews, you'd have demonstrated to me your disregard of experience, your lack of inventiveness, laziness, and far reaching arrogance, qualities I wouldn't want to see in my superior, so it's obvious it'd be better to avoid each other and maybe meet only on the golf course or as competitors/suppliers.
Lots of software people work in aerospace and military.
Perhaps the perceived shortcomings appear to be obvious to even the non-aeronautically trained?

I recall the MCAS issue being discussed here well before governments grounded the 737max. The FAA being one of the last to ground.

The F-35 issues appear to share those common in engineering. Over promising, over spending and not able to deliver on those promises, because no solution can satisfy all wants/requirements.

In my explicitly unqualified view, the F-35 tries to be everything to all services, yet my limited understanding on aeronautics is (similar to marine engineering); is the best designs are those that focus on a specific task.
Seems like it was a 'leaker' not a 'hacker' and they didn't even demand anything. Radiohead must be playing this up.
That's still debatable. I assume there was probably more to it, but from the post it doesn't sound like they really tried to work out the differences of opinion about contribution, work hours etc. - sounds more like he just snapped one day and made a bad decision.

Clearly he also had a bit of an over-inflated ego, believing he was so important to the company that it would collapse without him when it sounds like it was actually able to be a sustainable business (from the other founder "enjoying the recurring revenue for years"). So if they had been able to communicate and work out their differences it sounds like he could have chilled out and worked less if he wanted also...
It doesn't sound like it was stolen. It seems just a bad breakup. Kian started to have other priorities in life besides his own company. I've been in a similar position, I quit and I wasn't so melodramatic about it.

Ironically, Steve Goh, the blogger, calls himself "the lazy CEO". I guess he wasn't match for an even lazier one.
Sad to say, this is not clickbait. Microbes that are becoming resistant due to overuse of antibiotics is a serious problem, especially in countries that repress such information, or where the use of antibiotics is less firmly regulated.

I'm sure most people are aware that Eastern Europe, and especially Romania and Bulgaria has a rampant problem with resistent microbæ, but I was surprised to see that for instance Italy is almost equally as bad.
Warnings are part of the compiler not the code, and if your project is complicated enough you'll always hit false warnings in some version of the compiler, because some gcc contributor just snuck in a false positive, or a library you're using deprecated something.

Everything being an error makes this worse not better; if -Wdeprecated turns into an error you're just not going to be able to fix everything in someone else's code. Unused code being an error is easy to fix, but it's so disrespectful. I shouldn't get compile errors as I'm editing when I haven't done anything wrong.

There are distributed primitives in Kubernetes (such as leader lock), so you won't have to roll your own "architecture". For example, look at Patroni, it can be run natively on Kube, using its resources for all distributed and redundancy goodness.
The UK actually had the highest level of computer ownership in the world at around that point.

And he's made $42 million in royalties on the book. It's almost endearing how economists claim they are somehow immune to incentives, until you pause to consider they are primarily employed as apologists for the continuation of rent-seeking policies that entrench the rich and mighty.
I am not sure about talking to them. But I do feel a “it’s the end of the world” fatigue. I understand the economic need to generate traffic, but we are told pretty much daily that we are at risk of some sort of deadly peril that will kill us all, whether it is ebola, this fungus, the swine flu, the bird flu, pollution poisoning, global warming, mad cow disease, etc etc.

I find myself in the position to dismiss automatically all these claims as bullshit, but it may be that one day they may get one right. There is a cost to crying wolf.
SPAs are often buggy, but you can’t honestly blame React/Angular for that. I’ve built and actively maintain a number of SPAs in React. With some care JS size and speed is very manageable even in mobile devices.

The thing that consistently kills site performance is ads and trackers. Of the sites I work on, GTM, Optimizely, FullStory, and other similar crap routinely are responsible for >75% of the JS weight and >90% of the HTTP requests. It doesn’t matter how much I prune our npm dependencies and tweak React to make sure it’s rendering fast—marketing is going to make the page suck and I can’t do anything about it besides generate page speed reports that the client will ignore.
It's not that complicated. You can add leading zeros into each field, but that's similar to how 192.168.0.1 can be written as 192.168.000.001 (but if you do that in v4, it turns the field into octal! At least in v6 it's just a superfluous 0.). The only real complication is ::, which just means "insert zeros here".

(192.168.0.1 can also be written as 192.168.1, 192.11010049 or 3232235521. Or 192.0xa80001. Or 0xc0.0xa80001. Or 0300.168.1. Or a good number of other ways. That's far worse than anything you can do to a v6 address.)

The warning has to do with bad combinations. Sedatives/alcohol/etc mixed with GHB can cause respiratory depression and death. On its own 'GHB slows and deepens respiration (causing no net effect on blood gasses) and it slows heart rate'.

That’s ironic- I was under the impression that CRISPR actually caused cancer, as targeting a single gene has the effect of altering hundreds of other genes.
I always assumed Scoot's model was to iterate until they'd really polished the product, and then get an infusion of cash (ideally just a loan though probably VC money) and start expanding to a lot more cities.

The fact that Bird got 10x as much VC money and targeted hundreds of cities from the get-go doesn't make Bird any better, it just means Bird went the "large funding" route.
I don't know who dislikes spreadsheets, I am a programmer by trade and I regularly use spreadsheets to accomplish dozens of tasks, from managing household budget to making semi-automated expense reports to keeping scores in local gaming club. Spreadsheets are an excellent tool if used properly, and more you learn about them more uses they reveal.
You can't hire cheaper others because of the "same or higher compensation" bit. The only reason to fire anyone from Scoot is if they're genuinely not good at their job and you can replace them with someone who performs better at the same pay.
you never know whether to believe these sorts of articles...this article could easily be propaganda generated by the pharma industry so as to more tightly keep american consumers locked down so they cannot break the extortion hold big pharma has on america via bribes to congress...no, extorted american consumers, you may not go on the web to buy cheap antibiotics from overseas...because that may unleash an apocalyptic doom fungus scenario due to drug resistance...hee hee, chuckles Global Capitalism...sorry...

...ok, fine, you may think i am paranoid...i disagree....Global Capitalism is profoundly evil, and they will do anything to be able to keep extorting americans for drugs

these "drug resistance" scare-hype stories smell like a propaganda campaign to me...I cannot prove it...but I am old and have been seeing these sorts of media campaigns for many decades...not just for healthcare extortion, but manufacturing consent for so many of Global Capitalism's shenanigans...

this is how it works--some business lobby buys scare-hype stories in the media to create a foundation of knowledge in the public about some issue...whatever...drug resistant diseases, students declaring bankruptcy to get out of student loans (you may not recall that one from the early 90s...but Rapping Boomer remembers, oh, yes)...and then once the idea is out there, they pay off congress to get the laws they want passed...
My economics professor stated in lecture that he believed in the free enterprise system and the equal distribution of all income.

I avoided taking any more econ classes. Dismal science, indeed.
Nice article, although a minor peeve is that tmux should no more have a capital letter than ls or cp.

But it goes little further than the dozens of similar articles already available. I'd like to see a few tmux 102 or 201 or whatever articles that cover some of the more advanced features such as hooks, targets and IDs, monitoring and alerts, formats and #(), command sequences, if-shell and run-shell, new/neww/splitw -P and shell scripting with tmux, buffers, capture-pane and pipe-pane, find-window and filters etc in the choose modes, pane titles, terminal-overrides, linking windows and session groups, detach -P, remain-on-exit and exit-unattached and detach-on-destroy, the mouse and advanced key bindings, the new status-format stuff in 2.9, and even menus coming in 3.0. And probably more :-).

Of course I know I could write one myself I suppose :-).

Not really sure where to start, but 1) CRISPR's altering doesn't necessarily only alter one gene, and 2) altering one gene doesn't necessarily alter "hundreds of other genes" either.

How to Attract Wealth and Prosperity in Your House? Vastu Tips for Wealth
I get it that boys are biologically different. I was at a party recently and two 14 year old boys wrestle for an hour on and off in dress clothes. My daughter rolled her eyes and texted her girlfriends.

The problem that I observed is that my daughter's co-ed elementary STEM program attracted a lot of hyperactive boys. On top of that, the curriculum flipped some primal switches. What I called the "boy energy" spilled over to my daughter's experience and made it crappy for her.

She has been in a same sex educational setting for the past several years and it has been great. FWIW, she loves Chem, Bio and Theater.

p.s. I am enjoying this conversation even though I must be getting downvoted a lot since my karma is negative. LOL
Haven't read the book, but here are two (notably harsh) reviews:

https://marxandphilosophy.org.uk/reviews/17006_fully-automat...

- Bastani claims scarcity is the central question in economic thought. This is a neo-classical formulation, and is not in line with the central questions of political economy that Marx's writings (who Bastani obviously references liberally) grapple with. This leads to some theoretical and historical errors

- Bastani does not have a strong grasp on the labour theory of value, or at least doesn't subscribe to it in Marx's formulation. Bastani believes you can have profit without human labour input, where, under the labour theory of value, the exchange of labour is _the_ source of all profit.

- treats the move from late-capitalism to communist utopia as inevitable, and doesn't really grapple with strategic concerns, building class-consciousness, etcetera

https://theecologist.org/2019/may/29/climate-communism-and-a...

- The project is part of a long line of Marxist 'technologically deterministic' theories and proposals. Basically that capitalism will lead to its own demise through the internal contradictions that define it.

- the reviewer is skeptical of technological solutions to climate change, and Bastani's work relies on this heavily

I like the line at the bottom of the second review that describes this book as 'soft science fiction'. Something to shift the Overton window, but not something that provides much actionable insight.
this is just an ad?
That would make sense at the prototype and testing phase but I understand they delivered something like 400 aircrafts already.
You seem to very much focused on data structures and algorithms, which I do understand is the only way many organizations can quantify prospective programmers (other than knowledge of "technologies" and "languages").

I'm curious what your response would be to the following interview question ...

"How would you model into code the operation of an elevator?"

(I'm wonder whether your viewpoint is solely one of data structures and algorithms that transform them. Or whether you might also have some other perspective of how to go about approaching the design of a software application?)
OP probably saw DJBs tweet https://twitter.com/hashbreaker/status/1139008213570007040
> The problem is that nearly every popular motherboard out there enables turbo on all cores simultaneously ("enhanced multicore" for example on ASUS boards) which blows the TDP out of the spec massively.

If that's the case, then also the performance is "massively blown out", since essentially all the benchmarks around are based on popular motherboards.

Anantech did a test some time ago with a real, fixed, 95 W TDP[¹], and it ain't pretty.

It's definitely good for Intel that "every popular motherboard" is, uh, guilty of going out of spec, otherwise, the popular opinion of Intel chips would be significantly lower.

Regardless, I'm also not really convinced that this can be considered "cheating" by the motherboards. According to the official Intel page [²]:

> The processor must be working in the power, temperature, and specification limits of the thermal design power (TDP)

so ultimately, it's the CPU that sets the performance/consumption ceiling.
