I think it's not going to be so obvious. If you write a feature that is intended to deceive then sure, but the developer who wrote that feature was probably told "ok, if the inventory is below a certain threshold, then add this behavior". The feature itself is benign. Should a developer resign anytime they can concoct a theoretical way in which a feature they're writing could possibly be exploited?

I read somewhere that the context for this was all the men returning from WW II. While it was mostly women worked in the factories during the war and had to find ways to improve production, Deming ideas were solid. But as soon as the egoistic men came back from the frontlines after the war, he was kinda "pushed away" because no one in the US wanted to listen to him anymore. Which naturally was a big mistake as it turned out in the 70s when Japanese car manufacturing made American cars look like garbage.
Whatever you might think about it, it does however change the nature of your narrative of blaming Khan for it when London does in fact not stand out.
There are bad actors in every industry. Good job generalizing here. I’m one of those “bottom feeders” you wrote about to promote your service.

I’m sorry you got conned by a snake oil salesman. It sounds like your BS detector is broken. It’s a shame you didn’t do a bit more research to find a credible SEO service (or learn to do it the right way yourself).

"Good SEO” isn’t about “tricking search engines”. It’s about empathy for the user, and has a strong UX component.

If you're creating hollow content, or a poor experience otherwise, why would you expect users to convert, let alone come back to the site or tell a friend about it?

My SEO philosophy/approach is to gain a solid understanding of the intent behind a query/problem, and then create the best experience possible to address/answer that query. When you do a better job at answering the user question than the other sites out there, and your "UX metrics", (i.e. bounce rate, time on site) validate this experience, you're on the right path.

It's obviously more complicated than this, but that's where I start.

“Good SEO” is a long-term bet. “Tricks” that get you ranking on the first page are useless if search visitors bounce from your site once they realize your content is rubbish. Will AI-generated content create a best-in-class experience for a user? I have a hard time believing that it would.

Anyway, I hope you’re enjoying your free traffic.
Are we talking about someone from Silicon Valley or an Alaskan bushman?

The Alaskan could do it.
This "spear" was also for a MacOS vulnerability. No doubt most Mac people think they're immune to viruses and malware, making this even more effective.

It is very well thought out attack.
It’s pollution, but stinky to your mind rather than your nose. I’ve picked different routes to work just to avoid billboards and advertising.
Seems an excellent start, very worthy of extended efforts. I'm curious about the durability of the 'inoculation' effect. Do players revert to their old assessments soon, after a long period, or are their perceptions permanently shifted (e.g., they can't 'unsee' the effects that they've now seen in action)?
We haven’t fought any drug wars in Venezuela, and they have routine gas theft, including tanker truck hijackings. It sounds more like economic causes than “the US did it!”
I recently learned that (at least in the US) those loud motorcycles are actually illegal, and that it is near-standard practise that motorcycles are sold with cheap but compliant mufflers which everyone knows (wink wink) will be replaced with aftermarket loud (but illegal for road) mufflers.

I applaud the research of this young student, showing that noise pollution is not just a nuisance, but a real health concern. Young ears getting permanently damaged is one aspect. Entire neighborhoods losing nights of sleep is another.

I personally don't have any issues with prison labor as long as its optional and safe (and done by the government. I don't know how I feel about private prisons being able to accept outside contracts). I disagree with making visitations paid.

Are there any reasons against using prison labor? It gives inmates something to do and the ability to learn a new skill.
Would be way better if the worm reported back which devices were vulnerable (for naming and shaming) as it found them instead of ruining peoples' stuff just to make a point (or worse, plain lulz)
Is this the same as asking if we can create a telephone system with no phone books, or a city with no maps? Where is our shared understanding of the system's state?

Some Tips for Smoother Code Review
Yeah, for some reason they decided to use a completely different oddball HDMI connector to the one used in their other product with an oddball HDMI connector. So anyone with a Pi Zero and a Pi 4 now has two different annoying adapters to keep track of.
So, a website has to have Catalan content in order to be eligible to use .cat? Couldn't someone just hire translators and/or make friends with Catalan-speaking people to translate some English content to Catalan.
So, to be clear, you don't like it when projects choose to use their preferred language, and so you will search for a project which uses your preferred language?
Does anyone knows if washi paper notebooks are available somewhere? Search queries led me to no where.
So you mean Fox News?
This attitude is exactly what the spear-fisher is hoping for! Mac people, especially, think their OS is "secure by design" (as Apple says it is) and there's no way they can be attacked.

Take another look at the article! This took advantage of a Firefox 0day that really could run software outside the brower's sandbox just by clicking on a link.
Pretty sure that Deming and Taiichi Ohno both are responsible for the creation of these ideas, and they both learned from each other and improved. Which is why eventually it looks very similar looking at it from either side.
While I agree, people who work hard do see the fruits of their labor, albeit not much. I went to visit my home country after 20 years and my family there has not advanced economically in 2 decades. They are some of the hardest workers I know and barely scrape by. I realized then that getting out what you put in is something not all countries have.
Mostly I was just saying that `say` isn't the interesting bit of the examples given. But, sure, Perl is nice in how flexible/expressive it is (and Perl 6 takes that even further). I think maybe that's even the most interesting thing about the article. I mean, the date math is super cool and impressive and elegant, but the various paradigm examples is maybe more fun for me, since munging dates is rarely a thing I do.

TIMTOWTDI can get out of hand, at times, but it's really nice to have such beautiful concise ways to solve a problem in OO, functional, parallel, etc. styles all of which are very readable and quite concise.

You can't wave a magic wand and harmonize radio frequency allocations -- they're different and change slowly.
Yea I think this comment section seems to believe in the time value of labor. We’re pretty much limited by what people want to pay for our work.
With food and water, pretty long I'd say. Whether they'd stay sane is a different matter.
Amazon funds STEM programs in Seattle schools
There's something to this, I think; at least in the form of articles that have a headline suggesting strong public outcry to {event} "___(Nebulous group of people)___ are furious about__(thing)___", but upon reading the article we find that the nebulous group of people that the writer is sourcing from are in reality two people on twitter who were, at best, mildly chuffed.
Earlier than that there was a list of ftp sites giving a summary of what was available on each.
Do they even test for the vulnerability? The blog post is unclear.
A similar, simplified form of this question is:
How would you navigate a large code base without using an IDE?
I think it would have a high requirement on the structure of the files and the architecture of the code, neither of which can be achieved with what we have on the internet today.
You have a point, but coming to a consensus within a working environment can lead to a lot of friction and politics.

Sadly also software is hardly ever one working environment. In Python, the libraries are a strong feature, and each library will have different contributors. Each with their own opinion on what is the most effective programming style.

Take Python's Django framework for an example, it contains both OO and functional ways of doing most things. This can be confusing for newcomers who just want to know what is the best methodology going forward. One of the key features of using a framework is it allows you to add new developers to your project and they will know how to get things done.
Funny that the browser that has been selling so much on privacy falls victim to such a vulnerability.

In any case, if a site says "this site must be viewed in Firefox" that would be a huge red flag, and all the more reason for me to leave. There aren't really any features in Firefox that other browsers don't have.
Meeting Mr. Kid Pix
I wonder if you could build a Yahoo/Google hybrid where you start with many trusted catalogs run by special interest groups then index only those sites for search. Doesn't fully solve the centralization problem, but interesting none the less.
Hey, it could be true. Maybe they only had two honeymoon suites left. Wouldn't your face be red... :)
While it don’t think it was ever applied to GM as a whole, the NUMMI plant in Fremont was able to use many of the Toyota principles when it was run as joint GM-Toyota venture, using UAW workers. The tragedy was that GM executives didn’t understand or care about transferring lessons learned there to other parts of the organization, until it was too late.

Of course, you can’t minimize the different financial environments Japan and US have for manufacturers...
The Tacoma is as small as they come now
It can actually be extremely trivial and cheap by just drilling holes in your muffler (yes, I've seen this). Or by installing a glasspack for ~$20. This is what everyone gets annoyed at, usually.
The correct thing to do is likely to //ask// the user what they want, on one of the working screens.

Meh, we're still losing sanity even when around other people. Sanity is relative.
Sure, that's why open pipes at three AM are run full throttle in second gear on a city street with thousands of houses. It's simply narcissism.

I had the pleasure of living on Overtoom in Amsterdam, which is a beautiful street but I'm a relatively light sleeper and even at the back part of the house you'd be woken up several times every night by some 'look at me' dude making as much noise as possible. Not a car pulling out in sight at that hour.
Every major network pushes their own narrative. I wouldn't single Fox News out at all.
I wish that was a system-wide feature for external hardware keyboards like Apple's "Smart Keyboard Folio" (exactly like the modifier settings for keyboards available on the Mac)

Maybe, it depends which crusade I think, and the amount of fiber left in their grain products was much higher. That makes a difference in the adhesive characteristics of the starch to the mouth. Also the insulin response, water retention, and gut health but that is a different topic though linked to gum health for sure.
Scotty: Oh, you didn’t tell him how long it would really take, did ya?

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge: Well, of course I did.

Scotty: Oh, laddie. You’ve got a lot to learn if you want people to think of you as a miracle worker.
We are talking about hundreds of millions of Euros here. The resources are there, just used for propping up prices in the black market instead of securing the software. The EU could pay a bunch of security researchers to review open source software (analog to e.g. Googles project zero). Or implement bug bounty programs for the most used open source software.

In general, though, I think the company using the software should be held liable. Almost every OSS license explicitly disclaims warranty and liability. That means the company has to provide this if it wishes to use the OS software.
I've only ever seen this accomplished with professional organizations and licensing. Medicine is the easiest example. Clinicians can push back on unethical requests by arguing that complying with a request would result in them losing their license. That gives the employee a lot more leverage.
You're right. I should have specified that they don't put out the power of a rock concert.

Or one of these dryers, for that matter.

They are loud, but not as loud as one of these devices; not even close.
Reinventing the wheel is bad
I think if you're honest about it, then it is easier to have the end user trust you. It's the "in your face" nudge that's inappropriate.

For example, if you had a nondescript button that said "check room availabilities" and actually did it, I'd trust that over a toaster that said "two rooms left!"

played the game. It felt like I was taking a "push poll" where I'm being asked if I understand a conclusion being drawn for me. I found it to be less than compelling to say the least.
Of course, that "optional" work that pays a dollar an hour or less also comes with having to pay full retail price for basics like shampoo and band-aids.
I never said everybody or a majority of people did that. I just wanted to point out that those cases existed.

83% of student loan debts are lower than 50k. I don't see a problem there. If you made a bad career decision or decided to go to a more expensive college it's your burden to carry.
In the 1960s, my father was a manufacturing engineer for BigTechFirm (this was back when BigTechFirms built actual stuff, rather than trafficking in webshit). On the shop floor, there were A, B, and C workers on a line in descending order of skill level required and roughly ascending order of available workers. It was a true assembly line model. I believe the A and B workers had more variety to their work but the C workers had precisely one job, like putting two parts together along a joint or tightening a specific set of screws. This introduced problems in the line when a C worker got sick: the line would be held up entirely while a substitute was trained and then the substitute would perform much more poorly than the sick worker.

My father's bright idea was to give each C worker a workbench and train them in several jobs, then have them perform all those jobs in one phase of the assembly. That way, if a C worker got sick, because all of their colleagues knew all the jobs that worker had to do, the line would be held up much less.

Upper management passed on my dad's idea back then -- but it became all the rage in the 1980s when it was rediscovered in the Toyota model, part of the massive fad for "Japanese management techniques" that prevailed back then.

I keep this story in mind when I have to deal with agileshit at a company whose management had apparently never heard of The Mythical Man-Month.
I read The Phoenix Project several times, but compared with The Goal it has very little to teach you. It is a nice story, easy to relate, but extremely hard to understand what is it that needs to be done at an organization to move it through this kind of change. IMHO it is much easier to follow and learn a process of improvement in Goldratt's books.

Actually, the full title of "The Goal" is "The Goal: A Process of ongoing Improvement". Goldratt used to call it POOGI.
"enforce the verifications across the code" is the point.

I've worked with a ton of Python code that looks like this:

def foo(bar):
# do stuff
return baz(bar)

What does `foo()` return? I have to go read the body (or docstring if I'm lucky) of `baz()` to know that. And `baz()` might be another level of indirection to `quux()`. If I change what `baz()` returns, now I need to grep my codebase for all call sites of `baz()` and verify that the new return type is acceptable at each of them, and make changes if not. This is super time-consuming and error-prone, especially when a compiler (especially with an IDE refactoring tool) could do take care of it for me in seconds. It's easier if I have a good test suite, but that means I'm just implementing static type checking with runtime tests, which is more code that I have to maintain.
Gas theft is rampant in a number of countries that are not meaningfully part of the US war on drugs as they are not on shipping / growing routes.

While less critical than the injuries, there is often significant environmental impact in the cruder cases of pipeline theft. There also ends up being some pretty bad behavior by the private security / mercenaries hired to try and protect some of the infrastructure.

Clean goverment, effective law enforcement, pro-social behaviors and economic improvements etc all might reduce some of these issues.
Looks amazing!!!

Let me give slightly more context. As a developer, I'd love to use div less often. However, I feel like the promise of the "semantic web" fell short. And "web components" as a first-class HTML citizen isn't really there. So React/Vue components are the best we've got even though they're actually just divs and spans at the lowest level. I want the web to be semantic and componentized. But it's not there yet and this is the best we've got.

And we certainly have never interfered in any economic sense in Venezuela ... hold on, my producer is telling me that this is incorrect.
To get rid of search engines like Google and Bing we don't need to build a new internet - we just need to build new search engines.

E.g., how about an open source spider/crawler that anyone can run on their own machine continuously contributing towards a distributed index that can be queried in a p2p fashion. (Kind of like SETI@home but for stealing back the internet).

Just think about all the great things that researchers and data scientists could do if they had access to every single public Facebook/Twitter/Instagram post.

Okayokay ... also think about what Google and FB could do if they could access any data visible to anyone (but let's just ignore that for a moment ;)
Not to mention all the people who will carefully study whatever new system, looking for their angle to game the ranking.
Taleb uses his own definition of ergodicity which he's yet to state
Hi! I know this thread is a day old at this point, but I'm the reporter on this story and just wanted to say thanks for noticing that I put that in. I write a lot about privacy, online advertising and so forth, and I think it's important to readers that reporters at the NYT cover the same issues within our own business.

(Also, I acknowledge that perhaps you were being facetious and I just can't tell. But I still want to take this opportunity to point out the general principle.)
Being in prison is fundamentally coercive, so "optional" is not easy to get, and it's compensated as little as the prisons can get away with (because, again, the prisoners not in a position to negotiate). This produces a perverse incentive: imprison people to acquire a population that will work for peanuts in terrible condition.
I have found those who have bought the most into disinformation are those who have completely vilified the "others", while I would like to say most of those people are the one's who consume Fox News unquestionably most of the people are getting their news from social media such as Facebook and Reddit.

To be even more pedantic: how do you distinguish between different instances of life? Do you require them to be a minimum distance apart? What if they are sitting right next to each other? Do you require them to be separable by a minimum distance? What if they need each other's presence (e.g. mother and unborn child)? Perhaps the only thing we can say for sure is that the universe is alive.
I'll be pessimistic here and say no, that is an impossible pipe dream.
For any such system design you can come up with, a centralized big brother controller system will be more more efficient and have better user experience.
I didn't realize how tragically limited emissions testing is (everywhere I've lived in the last 37 years has required it.) After some cogitating, I think you're right about enforcement needing to be done on the road which is unlikely to ever happen.
There are also a bunch of very nice books about TLS, which stands for "Theory of Constraints + Lean + Six Sigma".

OP was referring to an orbit in the dynamical systems sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_(dynamics) which is far more general. It simply refers to a dynamical system where the trajectory of a particle repeats. If you have a system of particles in 2D space, governed by central forces between the particles, you won't have any particles that behave periodically in general, regardless of what those forces actually are. (There's actually some caveats to that statement. I believe the theorem OP's quoting assumes that the system has rotational symmetry, but giving up that symmetry may or may not actually give you stable orbits). Having some underlying periodicity is pretty important for more complex structures to emerge, otherwise it's just random chaotic motion.
