Powershell, friend. Changing execution policy requires privileges. Guess what SYSTEM gives you? Plus you can disable windows defender and install any nasty things you want! Pretty sure you’d need system to snoop/inject traffic too.

If you have other services or applications installed (like IT setting up your workstation), those things can now be read/changed where they otherwise wouldn’t be with just user access. This can lead to other information leakage about other parts of the network or services.

>And I'm struggling to see how that adds much to my problem of someone having a foothold on a user workstation already.

No fucking shit, but you don’t let them walk into system just because they got user.

You’re taking the stance that any compromise means death and that’s directly opposite of defense in depth, so you clearly don’t believe in that. That’s just being lazy mate. Why not just chmod 777 everything and call it a day?

>Which is also not to mention that this means the user has the ability to install software and is therefore infinitely more likely to just download some malicious installer from the nefarious portions of the internet that they can access with a web browser.

Because they don’t know Steam is insecure by design! They trust Steam! That’s the problem! This isn’t common knowledge and since Steam won’t fix it, it needs to become common knowledge.

They do this in a lot of places, partially to conserve the area and prevent what you described and also as an added safety measure. Over-nighting in the Grand Canyon is a great example. I think it's a good idea in most places where the risk of injury or the risk of trampling is too great.

It's kind of a bummer that you have to plan so far ahead for some things. Grand Canyon permits are done during a 1-week opening 5 months before the calendar month you hike in, for example. It's challenging to organize a group when you have kids, jobs, etc. that could change in that time.

The title is a bit misleading. It's not that people want to see their own job replaced by a robot. Rather that if they are going to be replaced anyway, they'd rather hand the job over to a robot than to a human. Possibly because it's easier to have negative feelings towards a human taking your job.

As the degree of privilege you get on a system goes up, your ability to persist attacks increases. In the limit you end up with cases where the malware is running as a hypervisor, rendering Windows actually entirely incapable of seeing it or dealing with it. I seem to recall some countermeasures have been added but I don't recall all the details or know what the current status of that is, but I'm fairly sure that has has happened in the wild, not just a theoretical attack.

So even if someone gets exec on your user files, you'd still prefer them to be limited to your user and not running at higher priv levels. Even if 90% of the damage is done with access to your personal files, it still adds more damage with higher privs.

Plus this means user-level countermeasures like "run steam as a separate user" are useful; with escalation, that's not an effective defense. Also, if you've got multiple users on the computer, an attack that can't escalate privileges might ruin your day, but an attack that can escalate privileges might ruin your day and your spouse's day and anyone else in your family's day, so even in terms of "personal files" on a modern Windows system you can still be looking at more damage from an escalating attack.

Your point about being present really resonates. When I go out into national parks for a backpack, I’m there to immerse myself in that space. Sometimes I take photos, but never of myself in those places - it’s about preserving what’s imprinted in your mind to look back on later. These photos make great fine art prints that can be given as gifts later on.

A tldr for the US would be that we tend to arrest poor people and people of color more and punish them more than we do well-heeled white people. On average, blacks in the US are a lot poorer than whites, so they get subjected to that twice over.

It doesn't necessarily mean they do more drugs than whites. It just means that "the war on drugs" is often just one more justification for a long history of coming up with excuses to throw blacks in jail and generally crap on their lives.

The US has a talent for either framing rules in a way that causes trouble for people of color or interpreting behavior by people of color differently than the same behavior by a white person.
USPS is run like a private company while also having the burden of being a gov entity.

There are several of these but Ripple is the first one that comes to mind.

Why is fracking a requirement, even rhetorically, for "avoiding the dark ages?"

It's pretty inevitable that our world is going to change dramatically over the next century as equatorial regions dramatically change climate, ocean ecosystems go through rapid extinction phases in some regions, and coastlines are redrawn. So if you're concerned about a change to your life and environment, too bad. You're getting that no matter what.

What matters now is not exacerbating the problems presented by using technologies that appear to be harmful like fracking.

You don't need to return to "the dark ages" to preserve a post-industrial society. That society needs to pool resources, spread out less, and use more decentralized infrastructure.

> And before we start fetishing the environment, consider the pollution and hazards thrown out by a volcano, of which there are many on the earth's surface.

This is simply a non-sequitur and you should realize it. No technology or even a theoretical framework exists to stop volcanos from erupting. What's more, we know factually that volcanos have historically tweaked the environment one way or another, and humanity's combined industrial output exceeds the output of a volcano. So we should focus on the things we can change.

I used to be in that mindset, but as I grew older I've reconsidered. You may leave them in a worse situation as now they have less control, less understanding and if they need to change things and you or someone very similar to you (which is a rare combination) is no longer available, they're basically stuck.

Of course this is very situational, but it's easy to fall into this trap. Charities in and of themselves can be stuck in the same anti-pattern if they leave a void where they used to be.

Because the administration of police/defensive-forces is monopolized by the state, citizens don't have the option to hire alternative service providers that might meet their needs better[1]. Similar to a municipality selling a monopoly of ISP rights to a ISP megacorp (read Comcast, Time-Warner), the resulting lack of competitive forces degrades the service. Like most municipal-granted monopolies, the only way a citizen can get choice in those services (public schools, police, road administration) is to be wealthy enough to move, if not you're a serf.

[1] People often confuse:
1. State-monopolized administration of 'public' services.
2. Mandated spending (supplied through tax) with private administration. (This is the model Sweden uses[2])

So you're skipping a few steps but I think you have a good chance of avoiding wantrepreneur land... your post is a good start.

TLDR; Custom > Service > Customized Product > product

Longer version with steps:

1) find a problem

2) find someone that needs that problem solved, solve it for them

3) find someone else that has a similar problem, use some of the stuff from problem solve #1 to make this build faster, but build new stuff that the person from problem #1 might want to buy

4) Sell person #1 the stuff from build #2

5) now you have some things that you can try to sell to other people, it will probably require some customization, but you'll start to get the core of your future product in each build

6) after few more customers you basically have your product, you just need to polish it and then take everything you've learned to find more people that resemble the people you just sold to to go find more people.

7) you no longer need any advice from anyone, you are busy selling your product

I guess this means more Amazon Logistics deliveries, which is really a shame because that service sucks.

Amazon keeps optimizing for speed but I think for most people they're fast enough already. And optimizing more in this one dimension could actually make the overall experience worse. I'd rather 100% reliable 2 day delivery than 85% reliable 1 day delivery but that's not where the trend is going.

Not sure what is new specifically. It's already against their marketplace terms to sell them. The headline makes it sound like it was proactive, but "they removed the listings when they were alerted to their existence." sounds reactive.
I was in this field for just over 15 years and specifically during the Amazon deal times. The idea was that Amazon was mapping the FedEx and UPS networks to clone. FedEx and UPS decided to take the easy money while Amazon was getting started (because they would get there anyway) and get out when it became more direct competition.

Amazon distribution centers started popping up within a few miles of the traditional players and it seems like that time to diverge is here.

This has been the plan for awhile and the timing with FedEx seems less sour grapes (to me) and more of a competitive jab.
