I tried to get something delivered to my office (I work in a office tower in the downtown of a city). We have a loading dock, logistics team, etc. Normally Fedex, UPS, etc work out the details to get the code to access the loading dock, etc and the logistics team handles getting packages to me.

I got a call once from a Amazon guys saying he had my package, I went down to the lobby to see he was basically unloading a pallet of packages in our fancy lobby. Needless to say our logistics team has tried to work with Amazon to get stuff delivered right, but we still seem to have issues.

I feel this is something that technically-inclined people tend to downplay too easily. Scale matters. Scaling something up changes its very nature and implications. Just because we can enjoy party poppers doesn't mean we're cool with flashbangs exploding near us.
Specifically, it violates the no-communication theorem. Not only can't you signal faster than light, you can't signal using measurement at all.

All the statement says is that climate change is not an issue, and that any discussion of it must be guided by data: there is no acknowledgment of the reality of climate change.

On the other hand, all of the Republican leadership cast doubt on it. And as a result the large majority of Republican voters reject the idea of anthropogenic climate change.

VSCode is generally considered to be the canonical example of an Electron app well optimized. They have put a significant amount of work (much moreso than your average company producing an Electron app) into making it very responsive. All you have to do is use Slack or Discord or Atom or Skype and you'll quickly understand why people hate on the performance.

Spotify is a good example of an application that doesn't use Electron (though it uses a similar framework) and still manages to be incredibly slow and bloated. As are most websites. So the problem might not be that Electron is slow... it might just be that the web in general is really slow unless you work extra hard.
> Ok, but what about mattress stores? Are you telling me they aren't for money laundering?

Margins are insanely high on mattresses. Why the connection to money laundering?
If my (granted, very limited and anecdotal) experience is anything to go by, rather than TEMPESTifying a whole building, one rather hardens specific rooms or areas inside it.

Oh, and in those rooms bringing your own stuff from the outside is not encouraged - to the extent that I was asked to leave my disposable coffee cup outside on one occasion.

Didn’t matter much - there was an approved and vetted Moccamaster inside.
China's Great Firewall is run by the state. By law you're not supposed to circumvent it.

There is no law that says you have to use Cloudflare and if they ban you, you're not allowed to be on the Internet. It just costs you time and effort, possibly money, hopefully reach.

What leads you to believe that the person they're responding to doesn't simply wish more private entities would exercise their legal right to listen to their conscience on who is too hateful to do business with? That's not censorship of important information, that's the free market of ideas at work.

The Stratechery article explicitly discusses this phenomenon and endorses it. What leads you to believe that the person they're responding to disagrees with the article on this point?

That has never been my impression. Java applications have a Java look.

What has actually impressed me as an easy way to do native looking UIs, albeit simple ones, is PyTK. On Windows, you can even select between the different styles that are internal.
Watch: Piloting a drone in real life while in virtual reality
The WiFi network is an interesting attack vector, although I've seen lots of places that don't have wifi setup with direct internal network access, only for internet access. That could limit the effectiveness of the warship somewhat.

When I started the article the first it came to me was that, once that package actually arrived at someone's desk, the main goal of the attackers would be to exploit Bluetooth attack vectors, where you can actually snoop at user/passwords, take control of devices or event plug the warship as a keyboard and deploy malicious code into the internal PCs.

For some of the bluetooth attack vectors, the warship wouldn't even need the cell network access and a call home, just a powerful bluetooth antenna should suffice.
How to Collapse the Distinction Between Art and Biology
UI development is not a purely technical discipline, in fact it's very much shaped by design and user experience. To put it another way - if font rendering's poor or the UI's rendered at 15fps maybe one could blame the UI framework (although not always), otherwise it's on the programmers and designers.
Why wouldn't the savings/costs be passed along to the consumer as in every other segment of the market?

If I am a strawberry seller and my cost to buy strawberries goes down, I can pass those savings onto the consumer or not. But my competitors will all be making the same choice, so absent collusion, if I don't lower my prices, but my competitors do, then obviously they'll take my business.

In other words, profit margins are determined by how competitive a market is, not the cost of production.

If this change goes through, I imagine that profit margins for LA developers will remain similar to whatever they are now.

Why Give Your Data and $$$ to Amazon's Ring When You Can Build Your Own?
Last time Sweden released an official study they were very over-represented. The numbers for the following groups are the rate compared to natives, 1 means that they would commit the same amount of crime as Swedes:

Västasien (West Asia) 3.7

Nordafrika (North Africa) 4.6

Östafrika (East Africa) 3.5

Övriga Afrika (Rest of Africa) 5.2

(The numbers written in the study had native swedes at 0.8 so I multiplied these numbers by 1.25 to normalize it)

https://www.bra.se/download/18.cba82f7130f475a2f1800012697/2...

Nothing since then has shown that the rates have changed, so you can assume that they are still valid. Everybody knows that these groups are over-represented and that accepting immigrants increases crime, that isn't really a part of the debate. You can argue why they are over-represented, such as poverty and discrimination, but not that there are more criminals among them.

Anyhow, wrt America, even the worst right wing propaganda doesn't show our African immigrants committing as much crime as African Americans, so the Swedish model seems to work at least somewhat.

It's not obvious that we're going to squeeze any more business value from this particular stone. (ie get more value from recommendations)

I could even argue "relying primarily on recommendations is a dark pattern"; In many platforms, the approach is replacing good search with good recommendation. Essentially, you don't get say, to explicitly specify your results, instead you get an opaque mix of "things you want and things we you to want" and you're supposed to be happy with this. You can see this in action in Amazon-recommendation, youtube and Google - actual control is replaced by "we know what you're thinking" (which indeed works some of the time but is infuriating when it doesn't and leaves lots of room nefarious effects, so Youtube fascist/extremist propaganda effects, etc).

And someone always pipes in here with "users are dumb and can only deal with recommendations since they can barely figure out toasters". Well, sites kind of need to educate their users, users actually have learned a bit given the dominance of the Internet over the last 30 years and a general awareness of the problems of recommendation-reliance can contribute to changes just as now a lot of supposedly not-dumb developers and managers think of recommendations as a benevolent or just neutral approach.
There are tons of legal counters, almost any of which would be a slam dunk case for having the AI-generated company's copyright revoked and the company disbanded.

But patent trolls are smart enough to have blazed a trail where you sue small time record labels that can't afford to fight you in court and are willing to settle. Any fight that goes to court, you just dismiss the suit to avoid losing and setting a precedent.
No, I'm pretty much going to keep thinking man made climate change is a thing, given how easy it is to demonstrate the basic principle of greenhouse gasses and how easy it is to measure greenhouse gasses.

That being said If climate science becomes more about punching the other side into submission than about looking for truth I am going to take new research as to the effects and pace of climate change less seriously.

If a field was built on a less solid foundation, like say economics, started doing that? Well yeah, I'd absolutely start taking everything they say with an even bigger grain of salt.

Data Scientist with a specialty in spatial statistics.
After graduation (2017), I worked at Oak Ridge National Laboratory on population estimation for a year. Since then, I've spent my time travelling the United States and Canada to see where I should live next. Conclusion: I'll be happy most places. I'm now looking for a new opportunity and would appreciate the opportunity to learn about your company.

If you'd like to learn more about me, I'd recommend visiting my personal website. Or even better, feel free to email me with any questions.
You've failed to establish how the existence of gender studies departments means we can dismiss the findings of the physical sciences, including climate change. It is still an inane point.
> before Electron existed.

And what an amazing time that was.
But that's Levine's point, that there is a sense in which MoviePass didn't fail. Oh sure, it went out of business, but the fact that it flamed out spectacularly isn't hurting the careers of anybody who was involved with it. In fact it probably enhanced their careers, since being associated with a splashy, heavily-covered story turned them into a weird sort of business celebrity.

Anyone who can start a local pizzeria and make it consistently profitable is a better businessperson than any of the people associated with MoviePass are. But our culture rewards bigness, whether in success or in failure, much more lavishly than smallness, so the MoviePass alums find the doors of the VC world flung open to them, even though the only thing they're known for is failing.
As a corporate lawyer that transitioned to software engineering, I'd say lawyers need to learn to code about just as much as everyone else.

Coding is clearly really useful for repetitive stuff and to deal with lots of data, but from my own 10 years of experience practicing law I honestly do not see anything in particular that would make a lawyer benefit more than other professions from coding.

Looking back at my time, maybe having an app that had contract clauses and allowed me to quickly set up a base one from the templates would be helpful and save some time. Nothing huge.

Managing lawsuits is a great candidate, but there are already dozens of "spreadsheet apps" that do that, as are there apps to keep track of contracts (expiry, increases, thresholds and so on).

A lot of research is already taken care by Google and other apps (consider Brazilian law practice here, which is based on Civil Law so a little different than Common Law in US, UK, Canada).

In summary, learning to code is not really that huge of a deal for a lawyer. It is still helpful like it is for most professions, but I honestly do not see a lawyer that codes having that great advantage over one that doesn't.
He could have tried. As a shareholder (stupid, I know) I feel betrayed that he wasn’t even trying.
Yea INAL, but the race to the court house was the way a lawyer explained it to me. This is in fact how it works in TN. It's not a private prosecution, it's public.

https://www.marylandcriminalattorneyblog.com/carroll_county_...

"This is because without a weapon or serious injury the only crime would that could be charged is second degree assault which is a misdemeanor in Maryland. The police can only arrest in misdemeanor cases if they actually witness the events. Otherwise, the police are supposed to simply write a report and advise the combatants as to the procedures for filing charges against one another. "

Re: here because out of reply subthreads:

I'm not mixing the two up. I called the police after having my jaw broken in a one sided assault and filed a report. The assailant went to the court house and filed charges officially and one week later I was charged with assault. This was leveraged by the public prosecutor to prevent me from filing civil and criminal charges against the assailant as terms for myself not being prosecuted or subject to a trial by jury. The only people who seem to be aware of this situation are lawyers and law-savvy repeated violent offenders who use it to escape prosecution.
I think you need OS codesigning integration for this threat model. Otherwise whatever special app runtime check code you add just gets removed by the malicious overwrite of your app code.
I agree completely with your first paragraph, but then why bother engaging? My point is that there is no reason to write articles or have conversations that risk alienating. The people who can be convinced won't be more convinced by the kind of language that alienates people, and it's not worth even talking to the people you believe can't be convinced.

The kind of language that alienates better serves the purpose of creating a group of people that is an enemy that can be fought against, which goes to my point about authoritarianism. There are lots of instances in a democracy where you put your foot down as a group and decide that certain behaviors are unacceptable. I just think it's morally important to distinguish between the times that we're using reason to drive policy and the times that we decide that we're officially so right that it's ok to use the power of the government to force people to behave in what we believe to be their own best interest.

FWIW, I absolutely believe massive change needs to happen on the climate change front. I just think that calling the other side deniers and anti-whatever is entirely counterproductive and only serves to deepen divisions. Policy can be made without creating a bogeyman, and if a policy requires a bogeyman, it's way more likely to be authoritarian, in my estimation.

They are passed through, particularly for residential. When apartments and condos require 1-2 parking spaces per unit, it means that we aren't selling to people without cars, who are often people who can't afford cars.

My old unit in the DC area had something like $80,000 in parking attached to it. That could have been ground floor units or retail instead. The units would have been cheaper had the parking minimums not been there. In bigger buildings that put parking underground, those units can be very expensive to build.

Why would there need to be penalties? What's the plan, start an airline for a few hundred million dollars, screw customers out of compensation, then... Go bankrupt? You aren't allowed to operate airlines that don't obey EU rules in EU countries, there aren't pirate airports with shady airlines that don't obey the laws or anything like that.

And rhetorical questions won't do that?
I have already said I think it's an adequate analogy. Others clearly have too. Your belief that your personal thoughts are universal and infallible is your belief. It's not one I found persuasive at the beginning, and less so the more you insist on it.
The difference being that you can send multiple packages all over the globe for reasonably cheap.

Fair points! I will concede the fact that my example + experience has taught me how to learn, but didn't necessarily teach me directly. Solid rebuttal. I think there are intricacies within game design that are quantitative enough (either due to their relation with technical or otherwise non-creative elements) that the systems can be inherently taught. But I do agree that plain-and-simple "good design" is something learned from experience and application.
Perhaps the increased availability of pornography is causing men to masturbate more frequently thereby lowering the average sperm count. Do studies control for this?
It's a matter of severity and demonstrable willingness to ignore consequences. Scamming and fraud can earn you a spot in prison for a serious length of time, whereas phone spoofing is probably just a fine or probation, IANAL. In general it defies reason that the people who purposely violate existing major laws are going to be dissuaded by tacking regulations onto their methods.
Yea, this ^. This attack approach is interesting but any company that's serious about security needs to realize that anything opened up on wifi is a big hole - this used to be more amusingly exploited by war-driving, just driving around a neighborhood looking for someone with an open network that spills out into the street so you could download the latest episode of friends.

I don't work in this sort of security and it seems terrifying, the social engineering side is especially crazy.

All apps written by device manufacturers are crap, regardless of what they are written in. It has nothing to do with Electron, just with the fact that they only know how to do hardware, and are clueless on the software side.

If you're already running code on the victim's machine, presumably with sudo rights to change `/Applications`, you've already hit the jackpot. Yes, you can change apps, but if you're the victim, that's _probably_ not the biggest issue. It's the rootkit on your machine.

It seems unlikely that your child knows about every fetish adults have, and if they happen to send pictures of their feet to someone they have not done anything bad, they have not broken any unspoken general rule, there isn't a lot saying that is a thing you shouldn't do or any obvious signs as to why it would be bad. It hasn't exposed them in a dangerous way, but they have been victims to an adult going online and asking children for feet pictures to satisfy themselves.

Your reply implies that the child has been taught why it's just as bad to send a picture of their feet as of their hair as of their ankle as of their entire body as of anything. Or that they have parents who wouln't agree to them doing things that seem totally reasonable to them, and just freak out without any explanation.

Children are taught what nudity is very early. They aren't taught people's weird kinks. The difference between the two cases I mentioned is much greater than that between fentanyl and heroin. Both are not ok, but they are not even close in terms of possible adverse effects. You can't judge everything assuming the child has knowledge of the intentions of the abuser online. If your child sends the pictures because 'it's just feet, it can't hurt me' that's a much better reason, even though the child hasn't finished developing it's brain than 'my dad doesn't want me to send any pictures'.

Just tried. If you're already streaming, it manages to show you the prompt, but there's no way to interact with it. The mouse moves (both on the host and client), but clicks don't go through. Keyboard navigation doesn't work either.

If you try to stream something that first pops up UAC, the client just sits there waiting for it to be dealt with on the host.

Outline for the Business Insider story referenced in the article that covers the MoviePass history in greater detail:

https://outline.com/ZPqaXs
Zircon, the Fuchsia kernel, is much bigger than seL4. For example, it provides a process model and syscall interface.

But Google may have other reasons to reinvent their kernel (though they're not starting from scratch; Zircon evolved from the Little Kernel by Travis Geiselbrecht). They may have decided that the flexibility of inventing a new microkernel for their exact requirements and moving fast with it would be more productive than reusing an existing one. Building on the careful verification process of seL4 is presumably quite time-consuming, and might get in the way.

When NeXT/Apple started using the Mach kernel, it ended up being heavily rewritten to support Apple's requirements, and they never adopted the microkernel design. Google may have seen a seL4 dependency as being a similar kind of burden.

seL4 is also GPLv2, I believe. Might also be a blocker for Google.
