Exactly this. I work for one such large multinational news corporation, and its all about ads and analytics.

On the analytics front, we are measuring and reporting on pages and articles at a number of levels, from audience metrics around demographics, device type, time-of-day, time-on-page, scrolling behaviour, etc to the actual articles themselves, the section/category, even the individual journalist. We have real-time reporting and statistics on the 'performance' of any article, journalist, section, etc.

Tracking and measuring user behaviour is largely performed using a number of cookies.

Here's one in the Multipath TCP component: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2018-4241. I don't think this is remotely exploitable, though.
Both videos mention suggestions to buy a new computer because repair cost is close to the price of a new one. In such case, the computer would never reach a repair depot.

As to Rossmann being a hater, I too have seen so many stories of Apple denying warranty for made up reasons (liquid damage, etc) that it is very difficult to believe that Apple is acting in good faith when it comes to repairs.
I found my quality of life greatly improved when I started going to Facebook once a day, no app or notifications. So far it is improving again as I have stopped using Facebook. They sure are desperate to get you back, though, it's been two weeks of twice- or thrice-daily emails.

The straw that broke the camel's back in this case was the behavior of the Messenger notifications. They filled messenger with so many bullshit "friendaversary" and other notices that I stopped paying attention and I missed my real, actual friends who were trying to get in touch with me. Such a transparent Skinner box, I couldn't respect myself if I went along with that kind of manipulation. Then when I found it's basically impossible to disable Messenger it became clear that I had to delete it all. I'll download my data from them and call it a day.

It's such a shame because Facebook put me in touch with a number of people that I only sent a Christmas card to, if at all. But I think the nature of these social networks is that the more addictive and manipulative ones quickly crowd out the decent ones. Metcalfe's Law seemed like a great thing until you realize that the growth has to be exponential to have a chance of "winning".

The point of LOLBAS is not to identify exploitable programs but to identify useful programs for attackers. There is no issue of privilege here - if you are an attacker and you meet the privilege requirements, there you go, you can do these things.

The LOLBAS github has good definitions:
https://github.com/api0cradle/LOLBAS

> LOLBAS candidates must be present on the system by default or introduced by application/software "installation" from a "reputable" vendor or open-source entity. Otherwise, LOLBAS determination is subject to scrutiny by the (security) community and agreed upon standards.

> Can be used as an attacker tool directly or can perform other actions than what it was intended to do (Ex: regsvr32 - execute code from SCT online)

Essentially, what programs on the operating system can an attacker abuse to do things that a defender will have a hard time monitoring for. The idea is that "bring your own binary" is dead (it isn't, but that's the idea) because it's too detectable/ preventable - software whitelisting, detecting unsigned apps, etc, make it hard. But if you can just leverage what's already on the system you can avoid detection more easily.

One unfortunate factor that inhibits the porting of Ada to new platforms is that the language's real power lies in it's runtime library. Whether or not your compiler can target a specific architecture is only part of the problem of cross-platform development. In order to use the compiler for development on the target platform you'll need a functioning RTS.

Ironically, Apple making third party repairs difficult by not selling genuine spare parts and not publishing service guides increases the risk of an iPhone exploding, because it pushes third parties towards sourcing parts from shady sources.

Why third parties exist at all? They must be doing something better: either they're cheaper, faster, more competent, in more convenient locations, or something else along these lines.

Apple has long repair times and that would be my argument for preferring a local repair shop over shipping the phone or computer god-knows-where.

Sure. I should clarify that I didn't mean "lmgtfy". There are five to ten books that covers things most programmers won't learn by practicing and therefor will uncover most of the mystery experienced by self-taught programmers. There is no need to listening really hard to the lyrics when you can learn how to play. You just need to go and read material that actually covers how to design programs, rather than are about "learning programming". And you will literally find those books about algorithms, design patterns, workflow, refactoring and whatever else by searching for "top programming books". Or in discussion on most platforms. I don't think it is as esoteric as you think.

Well, that's certainly a different perspective. I appreciate it. I think many of the users who are so frustrated by Camera Roll's prolonged disappearance would have gotten less frustrated had we received an explanation like this in the beginning.

Asking old time Flickr employees is good, but that kind of misses the point. Old time Flickr users generally stuck with the interface they knew, from what I can tell, and did not use Camera Roll as much. "New" Flickr users, aka those using it for less than a half decade (at least those that I knew) used Camera Roll nearly exclusively and never used Organizr. There was never any other way to view large numbers of photos or organize them on any non desktop device other than Camera Roll, for example, and for anyone who used Flickr on mobile it was not merely central to the user experience - it _was_ the user interface.

I'm extremely shocked that Camera Roll isn't commonly used relative to other features. I wouldn't believe it from anyone else :) Can you say roughly how often it was used compared to Organizr before the switch? (as those are the two only ways to organize your photos on Flickr.)

Regardless, I know first hand that a not insignificant number of people used Camera Roll for everything. Personally, Camera Roll's absence has prevented me from providing photos of important things to several people. I simply don't have the time to dig through Organizr to find and organize a selection of photos that was easy to locate before but is now nearly impossible.

I appreciate the work you all did to save Flickr, and I look forward to using Flickr again once it's usable for me.

Hi, I'm Federico and I'm creating a Lightweight Project Management tool for Github.

This MVP is being tested from some friends and myself.
There are 3 major features that I'm testing.

* Notes: To enhance the ability to create issues and product backlog from user feedback, ideas or simply "online post-its".

* Board: To automate Sw iteration from issues and pull-requests. This is where progress is done.

* Suggestions: To recommend actions from your product backlog and board. This are suggestions made by ShipIT that improve how you develop, deploy and test features. Even adding resources like blog posts and articles about important topics.

I'd love to hear your feedback.
Thanks!

Yes, but also bugs "overlap" in multiple different ways; the most obvious is that a "similar" bug in a different code path will, at a company like Apple, Microsoft, or Google, result in a hunt for the same pattern on other code paths, but also the fix for one bug can kill multiple bugs elsewhere. So even though people do sometimes find exactly the same bug --- I'm fond of pointing out that at Matasano, Vitaly McLain found the nginx equivalent of Heartbleed within 2 hours of someone else reporting it --- that doesn't actually have to happen for someone else's work to kill your bug.

Its because every country & currency bloc is manipulating their currency.

Only a few of those get designated as currency manipulators for political convenience.

It is that simple.

The primary tool to manipulate the currency is by introducing additional money into the supply. The primary way to do that is to buy bonds at a premium price (where whoever previously owned the bond and sold it now has new money that didn't exist before, this trickles throughout the system diluting the value of the currency for everyone else). Pushing up the price of bonds pushes down the yield. Newly issued bonds are done at the market price and tolerance (what the market can bear). So if the prevailing rate is 0% or -0.5%, newly issued debt in the same risk range yields 0% or -0.5% too.

I would question how well it works, too.

The idea is that the person being shadowbanned is either communicating in bad faith (trolling or trying to underhandedly manipulate others), or is a paranoid schizophrenic.

In practice, though, shadowbans are applied to people who are persistent annoyances, even if they're not intentionally so, and even if they're not delusional. The result is a shift of the forums' Overton Window. Gradually, other people become annoying outlyers on contentious topics, and they have to be shadowbanned as well to "keep the peace". On and on it goes.

People who are justifiably shadowbanned — trolls and paranoids — probably check periodically to see if their main account has been shadowbanned. Otherwise they're poor trolls or not very paranoid paranoids. If a troll discovers this, they will be enraged and redouble their efforts if it's technically possible to get around the ban. If a paranoid discovers a shadowban, it will feed their paranoia. Either case is very bad for the forum, when the toxic user inevitably re-registers (assuming they're able; if they're not why couldn't they just be banned outright?), causing chaos until they're identified and shadowbanned again. The only person this really works on is the unintentionally annoying poster who discovers the shadowban and becomes depressed over being gaslighted, and might leave the forum on account of that.

Shadowbans seems like they're part of a war of attrition against justifiable targets, with quite a lot of collateral damage.
I don't think this is necessarily about people who are critical, it's that you can have someone who is just as stupid as a "yes man": they just say "no" just because instead of, you know, actually thinking.

I don't believe this "no man" is someone who is managing their attention or saying no for an actual reason. They're just contrary. And yeah, there's a lot of them around.

What I actually find even more frequently are "parrots". These are people who "learn by runbook". Instead of asking why something is done a particular way, they want to learn how to parrot some procedure. It's another variation of things: instead of saying "yes", or "no", they just parrot "process X".

I think this is really where the "no swap in production" example came from. I've seen _lots_ of stupid similar ideas in software development.

I've been programming in Elixir for a few months now, and I like it a lot, but I found your comment amusing because a lot of Elixir's 'macro expressivity' seems to be due to Erlang using a data structure for its own parsing that can be readily manipulated as 'first class citizen' in itself. That's basically what s-expressions do. Apart from a small number of things that most people otherwise encounter in 'infix' notation, e.g. arithmetic, s-expressions seem to be a radically, and brilliantly, simple form of writing programs in a way that makes meta-programming as simple as possible.

(And, of course, meta-programming is powerful, thus 'dangerous', but there's a lot of things that are only really feasible with it.)
The point of my comment was not to validate anything about Apple.

If you actually read what people write fully instead of projecting what you want to hear, you'll be a much better conversationalist.

Thank you.
The opposite. In this case people saying no are the ones understanding, and people complaining about them are the ones who don't have the full context. Of course the job of the people saying no becomes to document this, but at large enough scale its hard to get people to read the documentation...(and even when they do, its hard to internalize it).

2. Said problem was OOMs on machines with swapoff

3. Yup

4. It's pretty easy to get someone's measure from reputation if you have multiple independent sources - enough to fully distrust Mr. No's judgment. If this person is high enough in the chain that she's getting his orders second-hand, it also may not be very easy or fast to get his attention or a face-to-face meeting. So she made her change, publicly stated she was making it, and allowed him to countermand her (with a snarky "he can have my pager" to force him to justify his decision if he wanted to reverse the decision).
> Banks in Europe are charging people a percentage to hold their money?

The European Central Bank charges banks negative interest to hold their money for them, which is a reserve requirement. Those costs may be forwarded to customers (but 1% is not a realistic figure).

Either way, you don't want to store your money at a bank beyond what is insured.
