You're absolutely right regarding UAC in Windows environments. Windows 10 has even more awesome security features like credential guard and device guard that a lot of IT departments don't even know exist.

If UAC is disabled by GPO it's probably because of incompetence, apathy, or maybe the IT admins have just been browbeaten into avoiding anything that could inconvenience anyone.

There are also tons of companies with 15 year old Active Directories with tons of kludgy GPO configurations that nobody has looked at for 5+ years.

Fortunately those of us who live in the United States also have the protection of the U.S. Constitution, which provides a glimmer of hope that we can seek restitution when the government deploys its violence illegally. Who knows how much longer that will hold up though...

Or, get it on paper. At least. They can still not fulfill their end but it'll be harder for them to ignore the discrepancy.
Angular has been working on type-checking the templates: https://blog.angularindepth.com/type-checking-templates-in-a...

Disclaimer: I have heard about the above enough to dig up a random blog post about it but I don't know a lot about how it works.

I think in JSX (and I've seen experiments with lit too) there is also integration between the template and type checker.
Richard Stallman - 30 years ahead of time for free-software, privacy and licenses.

Yann LeCun and Geoffrey Hinton - 20 to 30 years ahead of their time for research on AI, neural networks, convolutional neural networks and their many applications to them.

Theo de Raadt - 20 years ahead of time for security-focused operating system OpenBSD and its software projects.

Perhaps the person we all would have liked to have known who was indeed ahead of their time is Satoshi Nakamoto.
This was one of those things that always ruined time travel movies for me. If I went back in time a few hours, would I be floating in the upper atmosphere? Go back few years, am I just floating in space? Does this mean that I can only really travel back to the previous galactic rotation and hope to Sagan that the galaxy both doesn't drift and the both the Sun and our arm of the galaxy are both in the same place?
And bits can be zeroed just as much as paper can shred.
I’m no expert in this space, but if free, common, and easily accessible tools render your site readable and usable, I’m not sure how refusing to use those tools would be a claim under ADA.

There are plenty of real ways that sites are unusable by screen readers, using Javascript to download dynamic content shouldn’t be one of them.
You might try out https://github.com/theseanl/tscc , which aims to do this.

This a load of nonsense FUD. It's all sensationalism in response to the current political climate. He'd be singing a completely different song at the height of Obama's presidency.

Even the language and word choices are FUD: "elites". Conspiracy theories work because people respond more viscerally to fear and uncertainty than to optimism.

Even more amusing: his argument is actually that (1) we basically didn't have a democracy because the "elites" ran the show, then (2) technology made the US more democratic, so (3) democracy will fail.

What? Because things are more democratic, the democracy that we never actually had is going to fail now?
That can include measurements of the past. If I predict that oil formed here, I can then drill to validate the prediction.

>When it comes to physical properties there's a huge difference between reading a banner posted in a street and entering the property to read some secret data: you have to be in different locations. That's why your analogy is completely faulty.

At no point is accessing a web server similar in any matter to reading words off of a banner posted in a street. You cannot use a faulty analogy of your own to describe why my analogy is faulty.

>When it comes to PUBLIC data in a website there's no difference.

Yes there is. Even for data that is public and meant to be accessed to the public, you still must access the web server. It is much more similar to walking into a publicly accessible restaurant and reading their menu, it is not similar to reading a banner on the outside of the restaurant.

>How would I know I'm authorized, implicitly or explicitly, to access a website, say www.google.com? Should I phone the domain owner before accessing?

A reasonable person knows that www.google.com is meant for public use. It is common knowledge and from whatever avenue you heard about Google, you probably gathered from context that www.google.com is somewhere you are allowed to go.

This is absolutely not the case if you randomly guess a URL like 'mycompany. intranet. io/financials /employeelist. xls'. And it certainly is not the case when you are explicitly told (such as in a robots.txt) that you are not allowed.

>Just because you meant for something to be off limits but failed to inform anyone doesn't automatically make it off limits.

It does, though. The owner of property is under no responsibility to inform the public that their property isn't meant for use. It is up to each individual person to determine if they are allowed to use it or not. This is typically done by context clues and societal expectations: it would be absurd for a random member of the public to walk through someone's open front door and claim "well I was never explicitly told to not come into your house...". The person should know, based on social conventions that you don't just walk into someone else's house, that it's not allowed. This is the same for websites. There is some leeway given, such as if you saw a sign for "Open House" and simply walked into the wrong house. But it is still possible to commit an act of trespassing even if you didn't explicit intend to: this is called negligent trespassing.

>"Trespassing" in a website is analogous to hacking it, using stolen credentials, using exploits and things like that.

No, it's not. Did you even click on the link I provided earlier regarding trespassing?

>Unless some law passes that says that someone remotely accessing a folder called /secrets/, or /inside-the-property/ or something like that is trespassing, it won't be the case.

That law already exists. It's called the CFAA, and the debate around it is what is being discussed in this post.
Just about all google sites use user-agent detection which can sometimes mean different quality. I know because I have had to analyze lots if sites with linux vs windows user-agent to see if they behave differently.
That actually makes a lot of sense, in that if there is a limited amount of funding then that 50K should go to a treatment that will give someone another 10 years. Under the US system, private insurance is just as quick (if not quicker) to deny that treatment.

Of course, under either system, if you come up with the 50K, then the treatment is all yours.
He's not saying it in marketing material, though. He's saying it here. Context matters.
Is there anyway to assign a reasonable conditional probability to those Xk's and recover some useful science?
eBPF is its own language as well that is (more or less) a subset of C, is my understanding, so presumably they can apply some of the same optimization / analysis to it as they would C code, right?

An interesting '06 study. Participants were divided into groups and given access to obscure online songs. Some groups could see number of prior downloads.

Song popularity in different groups was very weakly correlated. Some of the same songs would sometimes be hits and sometimes busts for no apparent reason.

In other words, even song popularity (in an i.i.d. trial) doesn't predict song popularity.

I fly my drones to take photos for tourism purposes. Others fly to photograph houses/buildings for real estate agents. We pay tax and contribute to an economy. Obviously it's on a different scale than trucking, for example. I don't know anyone who consistently flies one purely for "entertainment" - it'd get boring fast.

OP talked about them being a distracting dot in the periphery. Like birds? People overreacted to books, radio, magazines, TV, etc - it comes with all new things.

I often think of the "but what about the animals" people in national parks. Those are national parks at the end of roads bordered by roadkill and with parking lots and shoulders absolutely flooded with cars, often idling. I am not arguing for drones all over national parks 24/7, but I marvel at reactions like OP's which could easily describe cars or dogs:

"Drones are a public nuisance. The sound, having a dot just floating in view, zipping around - it's annoying and even scary to bystanders."

As the article suggests, drone rules in the USA and Australia aren't outrageous, but the B4YFLY app is very poor.
Does this have implications for other scraping? (E.g. https://techcrunch.com/2019/05/20/instagram-influencer-celeb...)
Realistically, if the employer doesn't have to pay out for healthcare, won't they have funds available to give the employee a higher salary to make up the differences in taxes? Ideally I'd like to see universal healthcare taxed similar to current FICA -- employee pays a share, and the employer pays a share. But since the employer typically covers about 80% of premiums now, it would make sense for them to do the same with the higher taxes.
Yep, someone has to pay in one way or another like Red Hat customers on 7, but to say Python has near the life cycle of COBOL is just disingenuous. Old COBOL still runs, but Python 2 programs will not. It really shows what the achievement languages like COBOL, RPG, and Fortran are in terms of longevity and migration.
What people want and the steps they take to get that are often not in agreement.

It's hardest to achieve something when you ask people to give you something that is at odds with that goal, which is basically a long running complaint about the entire VC business.

If occasionally they get a fast growth enduring company it could be luck or a stronger personality on the other side of the table as much as by any action of theirs.

You manage what you measure and what they measure most is growth, not endurance. Half the time when I push for endurance at my place of work I feel like some sort of freedom fighter, subverting a system that wants - no, demands - something very different from me.

I could tell you that I want to find is a company that grew somewhat organically that has a big growth opportunity, but that would be a lie, because I don't want lottery tickets anymore. I just want to work on something a lot of people have a positive experience with and we make an honest living at.

What I mostly find is companies that think if they can just grow all their problems will be solved. And they have VCs that tell them the same thing. The only people who are telling them differently are people who aren't courageous enough to go into business for themselves, or who they've never heard of because they're not a Unicorn. And who listens to those people, right?

Biggest fish in the pond is google. With at&t and comcast you typically have one other competitor within a 25% margin of 50% market share that offers similar services.

It benefits consumers immensly since with good alternatives users can for example use more privacy conscious apps or apps with different approaches of solving their problem than what google thinks is best.

No, you couldn't because you'd need to borrow the entire float, which is impossible, practically and theoretically.

Upper end of 5 figures is somewhere more than $50,000. Unless you went to an out of network hospital, and the kid ended up in the NICU, I doubt the total would be that high.
"Our neighbors, who have solidly middle class jobs but good health insurance benefits, will end up paying more in taxes than they will save in out of pocket health expenses."

This will be influenced a lot by whether the employers give what they currently pay to provide healthcare back to the employees or if they just pocket the difference.

Sure, I'll be sure to go tell that shadowy organization in SomeRandomCountry that they can't do X with it. The reality is, this data is published online freely for look up, they don't need to sign up for it themselves.
It's never actually in a contract, these are always policies since employment is at-will.

But "they cannot work" is implying that person gets fired. I agree that serious breaches of security are a firable offense, because it's plainly a fact that people get fired over them.

Generally, though, developers are fairly hard to replace and anyone who is hard to replace is equivalently hard to fire.

So most security policies have to work out some kind of compromise between those competing interests.
On first glance, I would think no.

But in my experience even though I have 5x as many Google accounts as Microsoft ones (across several organizations and institutions) I spend almost no time confused on whether I'm logging into an account that I created, was created for me, was merged with another account, or is an institutional account that was created with a personal email.

I use a password manager for all of them. The only difference I can think of is the UX flow on Microsoft's sign-in page.

You can hang on to a lot of cash while making lots of promises, and bankrupt a company without spending a penny.

I know you know, but it's a real problem with a lot of small operations getting their accounts done; they think they're in the black due to a bank balance, but when the accountant sees the books, things aren't so rosy.

If the battery is discharged, then you will need some other source of power and some electronics, e.g. an Arduino or similar to provide the USB interfacing. Not sure how you conceived the connection between the magnet and discharged battery to actually store data. Perhaps that is an as yet undiscovered application of quantum uncertainty.

I've spent a ton of time as a developer trying to make money from various side projects and businesses. So most of my top "wish I'd discovered this earlier" list revolves around tech+business stuff:

* Strategy #1: Charge more. patio11 has been shouting this from the rooftops for years, but it didn't sink in until after I started Indie Hackers[0]. If you charge something like $300/customer instead of $5/customer, you can get to profitability with something like 50 phone calls rather than years of slogging. It's still hard, but it's way faster.

* Strategy #2: Brian Balfour's four fits model[1]. It's not enough to think about the product. You also need to think about the market, distribution channels, and pricing, and how each of these four things fit together. I imagine them as four wheels on a car. It's better to have 4 mediocre wheels than 3 great ones and a flat.

* Book: The Mom Test.[2] Amazing book about how to talk to customers to research your ideas without being misled, which is a step I've stumbled on before.

* Tool: Notion. I just discovered it recently. I use it for all my docs and planning.

> "Why does Windows even allow GPO to hurt users that badly?" and "Why does your IT staff hate you so much personally that they configured Windows into that particular contortion?"

Typically its because the GPO configuration has 15 years of kludge and your IT department is under resourced and doesn't have the ability to spend 6 months sifting through and testing all of it.

In Windows environments group policy is often one of the biggest piles of technical debt.
Switzerland has universal[1] medical services and compulsory insurance for all residents with strict limits to prevent the private sector from price gouging. All insurers must offer a basic plan with no limitations on age or conditions, and this plan cannot earn a profit. The cost is a fixed percentage of your income, with a government refund if it goes over.

It is socialized, tax-funded healthcare in everything but name. They merely pay the tax directly to an insurance entity instead of via the government.

That said, Switzerland goes back and forth with Norway for being the 2nd most expensive service, with a significant gap between them and 3rd place.[2]

CIA Informant Extracted from Russia Had Sent Secrets to U.S. for Decades
The Constitution is a piece of paper, it does nothing and protects no one. The real thing that is protecting you is the same thing that always has: the good will of your common man. The real power has always lied in the beliefs of the people and always will, and if you can’t have faith in that you can't have faith in anything. We all live at each other’s mercy. Any system that doesn’t have trust in each other as its fundamental basis simply can’t last.
So I should have said, "Is there a reason you can't just build debug binaries at the same time as you build release"? I mean, I guess, but it's a little disappointing that this is the nugget that you've been dancing around.
