No, they're making a point about Valve by comparing them to Adobe.
Without installation on Windows `Preferences.systemRoot();` writes bunch of log errors in stderr. It tries to create HLKM\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs. Installer creates that registry node, so it works just fine after that. I don't know if it's a bug or intended behaviour.
You're almost there. "Fixing" that problem - and you'll find many folks who don't want the federal government to have ID information for everyone - is not simple. In the meantime, multifarious ID laws will empower discrimination and disenfranchisement.
I was responding to a comment that (I interpreted) to be talking in more general terms than the scope of the article.
Thats priorities at work.... not bounded-response-time.
I'm being manipulated and the way you go about explaining this actually used the phase "Bill Clinton in a dress" and I'm just supposed to listen to you with a straight face?
Aha! Thanks, hopefully with that search term I can maybe find what I was thinking of. :)
I am also Brazilian but yeah I’m not saying any of this is right. I just don’t get the sanctions idea being so popular around here.
Is linux really 2 and 3 at the expense of 1? I've had several issues where hardware doesn't work on windows, but does work on linux.
> Not to say you aren't having the experience that you said you have, but rather to point out that you may be surrounded by a rather unique group.

Maybe its a fast evolving community and things have changed. I haven't touched vapes since 2016, so my involvement in the online community is zero these days. When I quit, Juul wasn't even a thing and mech mods were the norm. Everyone that talked about vaping was in the context of harm reduction, not harm elimination.

Those I do know IRL that still vape just aren't even trying to give it up, but they also weren't willing to give up cigarettes until vapes came along and took away the smells. Maybe it is also a factor of my social circles being 30+ and upper middle class now and smoking/vaping/drunkenness in general being frowned upon.
This is not a social engineering attack, or at least it need not be. It is simply made a requirement; block any connections to the outside that do not use the certificate. Then people have a choice of no HTTPS (which blocks many big sites) or HTTPS that is MitMed by the government.

Incidentally, the above is why the 'consensual MitM-ing through a root-Cert is a feature of TLS' does not hold op. It is not consensual, it is not even coerced, it is a hard requirement. You could then go into an argument about national sovereignty / complying with local laws, but that is a totally different argument.
Just to play devil's advocate.

What about in places where electrical energy is abundant, and space is limited? Or maybe in locations where terrain is very difficult to farm on. Mountainous terrain provides a lot of potential hydro-power, but are terrible places to place farms.

Would a dam powered multi-storied indoor farm be a feasible solution in a situation like this? Not to mention, it could provide light 24/7.

Not being facetious here. Genuinely curious what the pros and cons would be to a farm designed this way.

Without seeing the communications it's hard to say, but "When the security researcher -- named Vasily Kravets-- wanted to publicly disclose the vulnerability, a HackerOne staff member forbade him from doing so, even if Valve had no intention of fixing the issue" sounds like more than just not being able to disclose on the H1 program.
And the rest of us have the right to tell Valve, as their paying customers, we're very disappointed in their behavior and find it unacceptable.

I expect them to take security flaws seriously if they want my continued patronage - and that includes EoPs.
My god. You've solved voting! We've been waiting so long. Call the New York Times!
That's a loaded question.

Getting an ID is prohibitive for certain classes of people, classes who correlate with voting for the Democratic party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_ID_laws_in_the_United_St...

Voter Impersonation is also not a problem in the U.S., so the whole Voter ID is a red herring to make it harder to vote for certain people who have the right to.
Observable is awesome! Glitch.com is really swell, too, if you've not seen it! (No affiliation, I used it to teach JS / D3 last semester).
Put it another way:

If we lack time to consider and shape our society, cultivate the public good, neither will be worth much.

Look around. It is crappy.

We own that. US. Nobody else.

There is time. There is always time.

Or, we live with the outcome of those making a business out of it all. Has not gone well.

Unfortunately that doesn't work in the United States.

We regularly get precincts reporting more votes than are even possible given their total number of eligible voters.

Fraud in anonymous voting states is rampant here.
Not at all. It would be surprising if it wasn't maintained.

Evolution can progress very rapidly, but the core machinery which drives life is very conservative.

A good analogy would be to look at other codes. In the computer world, consider ASCII. Each number maps to control code, letter, number or symbol. This encoding is entrenched. Imagine how hard it would be to change a single letter of ASCII to mean something else. Most of the hardware and software on the planet would require updating. It's not just that interoperability is important. It's that every piece of software on a single computer system would require updating, in lockstep, to transition from the old to the new encoding. This would be an almost impossible feat.

The same constraint applies to DNA encoding of protein (and other) sequences. There are multiple pieces of the machinery which would require changing in synchrony for the result to work and result in a viable living organism. A triplet coding system change would require almost all instances of that coding triplet changing to retain existing structure and function in every protein using it, new enzymes to synthesise the new amino acid and tRNA, along with all of the associated regulatory and control systems. Only at that point could you start using the new amino acid triplet sequence in a new or modified protein. Evolution works by single small changes and natural selection. Making several big changes is extraordinarily unlikely.

It's easier to make such a fundamental change in simpler organisms where the scope of the change is limited. And this is likely why the small number of variations we see in genetic encodings are both in the lowest forms of life, and are largely superficial. The current encoding is entrenched as a result.
haha yes that would work.

Things like inner city growing where real estate is scarce could work too.

Just say as a whole stick plants in dark & light them with electricity is about as stupid as it gets.
Good point. I don't see any of the politicians addressing why the didn't also ban cigarettes.

My guess is that banning cigarettes would go too far. It's unrealistic to expect cigarette smokers to quit over night and start using patches and lozenges.

It's a little more realistic to expect that people who vape to do so.
> Would you think that was reasonable

The thing I object to is judging them at all.

They're not my coworker, someone I have to rely on and therefore might be annoyed if they're unproductive or whatever. They're a random person on the Internet who rather humbly admitted to making a mistake out of ignorance.
Chronic lyme disease is the controversial disease where no pathogen can be found anymore, yet the most classical "treatment" offered by some practicians (but not all) is months or years of antibiotics. It's a dramatic misuse of antibiotics, because you're probably not without knowing that resistances emerge from their use, and it has no efficiency.

Two recent free access reviews summing up the issue. Tldr : the very unspecific symptoms are probably real (but not always ie cognitive dysfunction complain that test up normal for age range), probably not because of borreliosis though (since follow up of people who had acute lyme disease brings up a very low number of chronic affection), patients feel unlistened to (sadly always more common and ends up in such defiance towards modern medicine and resort to shady unproven sicknesses and their communities, see electrosensibility too in the same vein), antibiotics are useless.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4440423/

Extract :

As such, treatment of this symptom complex with antibiotics is unlikely to be helpful to patients but does incur substantial risk. This, combined with the impact of excessive antibiotic usage on the development of widespread antibiotic resistance among more potentially lethal pathogens, and the significant health care resource utilization and cost associated with prolonged administration of parenteral antibiotics, makes such treatment ill advised.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4477530/

Extract :

Three research groups have examined prospectively the effectiveness of prolonged antibiotic courses for post-Lyme disease syndromes.57–59,75 All trials had strict entrance criteria similar to the aforementioned definition of PLDS. The Klempner and colleagues58 study reported 2 parallel trials in which their cohort of 129 subjects was divided into seropositive (n = 78) and seronegative (n = 51) arms. Subjects randomized to treatment groups received 30 days of intravenous (IV) ceftriaxone followed by 60 days of oral doxycycline. Those randomized to the placebo arm received IV placebo for 30 days, followed by an oral placebo for 60 days. The primary outcome was health-related quality of life as assessed by standardized instruments (the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form General Health Survey [SF-36] and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire). These instruments were administered at baseline, and then 30, 90, and 180 days. There was no difference in any outcome measure between placebo and treatment groups in either the seropositive or seronegative arm, or in a detailed battery of neuropsychological tests that was published subsequently.75 Although all patients had complained of cognitive dysfunction at baseline (and this was the primary complaint in >70%), objective measures of cognitive function, such as memory and attention, were normal compared with age-referenced normative data. Depression, anxiety, and somatic complaints improved in both the antibiotic and placebo arms groups between baseline and day 180.
>What you describe can be easily detected by an observer,

Have you never heard of bribes or threats? It happens with juries, I imagine it happens with poling places, and I imagine some of those convictions involved exactly that.

If you've reached a point where you are willing to tamper with an election, greasing some palms or finding something to threaten key people with is not going to make you lose a single wink of sleep or have any mental reservations or other hesitations. People like money, like a lot, and if you haven't the funds to bribe them with the 21st century offers a horde easily discoverable information about people and those close to them.
> If HackerOne isn't going to help you they have no right to hinder you. If they want to strongarm everyone into effectively the same agreement as an NDA then there literally is no point in turning vulnerabilities into HackerOne.

The article gets this part wrong: the hacker isn't banned from H1, which he says in his blog post -- "Eventually things escalated with Valve and I got banned by them on HackerOne — I can no longer participate in their vulnerability rejection program (the rest of H1 is still available though)." HackerOne is in no way punishing the hacker for his reports and/or public disclosures, for what it's worth.

(Disclosure: I am on the community team at H1, though I've had effectively zero involvement with this.)
It's not clear that it's even true: https://twitter.com/wellerstein/status/1159799358650499072?s...
That’s one way. I think a smarter way would be for browsers to compare the ssl cert in browser with some whitelist of ssl certs from a cdn or browser managed set and block when they differ (ie my browser is showing a different cert for HN than safari knows is valid, block it).

There’s quite a few ways to prevent this. Custom CAs are pretty necessary for internal networks so I don’t think they should be blocked whole cloth, but restricting how they can be used so they don’t impersonate real things would be nice.
Yes it keeps coming up, yet Flash will have its revenge.
I'm kind of confused; this is a collection of 12 stories that does not appear to claim that they reflect all of science fiction or even a broad subset of science fiction. It could be entirely possible that it just happened that that specific anthology fell that way (it is an n=12 only, after all). How does it compare with The Best Science Fiction Of The Year and The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy?

I suppose such an investments would be useless after some time. Nowadays there are some powefull companies that manage an institutional-grade alternative investment fund that seeks to capture alpha from uncharted parameters in digital assets. By way of volatility harvesting and decorrelating algorithms, the firm identifies market dislocations that drive risk-adjusted investment opportunities. The first that comes to mind is https://cipher.tech/ and they can provide more opportunities for investments with high technologies ahead.

That's a dramatic statement however and you didn't support it at all with your links. Can you back up the claim that most free VPNs are state-owned? That is what the reply was likely asking for.
>- Many financial institutions are required to hold a certain percent of portfolio in safe assets. German bunds are among the safest in the world.

Can you explain how this can possibly beat cash? If I say to you "I'll let you pay me ten cents to hold onto your $100 bill for a while, and give you a paper showing the obligation to repay your $100" (the meaning of a negative yield bond), how can the offer to let you pay ten cents to let me hold your $100 possibly be less risky than just holding the $100?

Why would a bond with a negative yield ever be a safer asset than just holding the cash?

If you're a developer you can make that anyway, isn't that basically an entry level salary in SF?

I'm very curious how much you can pay yourself as a YC founder after your first round, is there any data on this? Must be more than 75k.
AWS has data lock-in and offers fundamental capability-altering abilities to its customers. And it can't be replicated without a massive influx of capital to jumpstart (Microsoft, Google, etc).

>ID verification is a really big issue in the US

No it is not.

There have been less than a hundred voter impersonation cases in the last two decades: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/13/th...

Anyone saying that ID verification is a big issue is using it as a red herring, to create more hoops to jump through for citizens who have a right to vote.

Bug bounty programs exist primarily for the companies’ benefit. If you do not respect the security community, the best you can expect is for researchers to publicly disclose the vulnerabilities. At worst, black hats will find them and sell them since they can be very valuable.
That was just an example, maybe not the best one.

I should just have linked something done in Unity instead.
I don't know how you imagine voting works, but there are in fact records. You can't vote unless you are registered. The specifics varies wildly state-to-state, making it hard to discuss in detail. But the gist of it is that if you are not legally eligible to vote, it's difficult to do so. And the penalties are so extreme that casting a single fraudulent vote is absurdly risky, making it a very unappealing crime. Especially since virtually zero elections are decided by so few votes.

Elections are audited and fraud is found in only very, very rare cases, hence the widespread confidence that voter fraud is a minuscule issue. Other election issues are very real. By any metric, the number of eligible voters who are denied the right to vote dwarfs the number of people who cast ineligible votes.
I don’t use work for anything personal. It’s directly annoying because mitm’ing calls to GitHub and other package repos causes packages to blow up a bit.

My complaint isn’t about privacy, it’s about efficiency.
Conceptually cool. I wonder though if this would work for those of us whose application consists of multiple interdependent services living in multiple repos.

Also the definition of technology is not "does something with or on computers", it's "the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry".

A car is a piece of technology. An engine is a piece of technology. A computer is a piece of technology. A technology company is a company that produces products that are the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes.

What we're really talking about is information technology, which is the study or use of systems (especially computers and telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, and sending information.
You made the right decision. Pickup a condo cheap when a dip happens, but you’re insulated from a downturn. Patience is an investor’s best friend. This is how I built my real estate portfolio over the last decade.

I'll pretend I didn't read this, because you're simply against EVERY SINGLE study about this.

"This was NOT a politician decision on a whim."

Oh, let's forgot the rage Jose Serra had with that underwear outdoor and proposing the law approved during Kassab's administration.

"This debate was raging for years and only came to fruition after the inability of regulation to have any effect on rampant illegal advertising covering more and more of the sky."

No, there was a debate about OUTDOORS, not about the size of a store logo or shit like that.

And that was SO SERIOUS, that BANKS and GAS STATIONS never had to reduce their ads.

So, the little grocery store with a neon is a problem, a huge gas station with the Shell branding is not?

All the huge banks agencies with their big logos and colors are not a problem, the little pharmacy is?
Money was debt. It's how it got invented after all.

It's not so clear cut anymore. Most currencies aren't backed by anything anymore nor are they tied to any yearly returns. They've become arbitrary numbers manipulated by central banks to control the economy.
You would have to back the money with something physical such as the Gold Standard. An Oz of gold today will still be an Oz of gold tomorrow. Furthermore, the rarity of gold makes the amount in circulation relatively constant.
A more mundane and perhaps relatable version of this is the relaxation of key automobile driving skills once the operator has become comfortable. It is not unusual to see someone performing maneuvers that are only "safe" under assumptions that cannot be strictly true but are statistically likely to be true (e.g. there is nobody coming the other way around this blind corner, there is no cross traffic this late at night, whatever). I doubt people consciously think of it as a dice-roll every time they do it, but it is. Over time you may get comfortable doing things simply because nothing bad has happened but if the assumption fails you will likely crash.
I have and I do. There are nuances, but it’s a false perception that me reverse engineering a trade secret and then using it for financial gain is inappropriate.

I suggest you consult a securities lawyer before giving advice to others to consult security lawyers.
