Their first lesson learned: "Follow good industry practices for vulnerability and patch management". Retroactive or not, this sounds like just about every article about ransomware "attacks".

> there isn't enough information to lean either way

Somebody messed up keeping their infrastructure up to date, there is nothing in the article or linked document to suggest otherwise. Probabilities exist and the probability of automated scripts scanning a network segment for known vulnerabilities is still higher than an "APT" misbehaving and rebooting firewalls. Not leaning either way is often just feeding an unrealistic picture with FUD, which I find unconstructive.

Nah, "good design" consists of figuring out exactly what the users want based on what they say. Doing what they say is a recipe for terrible design because of the XY problem (among others).

The fact your user understands their requirements better than the designer doesn't mean that the user is a better designer. If only.

It's also not reasonable to assume the resources exist for infrastructure like the largest cities.

Cities have actively made decisions to design cities around the car at the expense of every other mode of traffic. It's pretty unreasonable to expect that the status quo can't change.

In fact if you look at the Bay Area, the problems with transit are largely due to other sorts of dysfunction, not due to lack of funding. Los Angeles, OTOH, has been building out public transit in a coordinated way (far more successfully than the Bay Area has). IOW where there's a will there's a way.
Computer Science absolutely has ethics. In the process of constructing systems which humans interact with, we simultaneously cause cultural and societal repercussions. Even if the choices we made could be perfectly justified by "maximum efficiency", or "just the optimal way to structure things" (which is rarely the case - as this book likely argues, there's always a human design factor), then Computer Science must still work to understand the societal ramifications of those structures. To give a tiny sampling: Online shopping, social networks, VR, drones, office drones, automation, AI, the internet - all were arguably inevitable results of the new abilities computer science unlocked. All with deep ethical concerns.

If anything, the people who design the structures of life have the most ethical responsibility of anyone. We're the ones who make it possible, and who have the strongest understanding of what it is we're creating. Personally understanding the full ramifications might not be easy, with so much else to know, but certainly our field as a whole should be working to understand them. To say we have no ethical responsibility because we're scientists and mathematicians dealing with the technical problems is to say Frankenstein had no ethical responsibility when creating his Monster.

That would be true if exactly one isotope decade into a stable isotope. With more complex decay chains etc that does not always apply.

Recently re-experienced vinyl player with a music library in a hotel.
The experience of vinyl is great you can touch and hold
the music you like and love. The search depth of the
music catalog is good its a stack of vinyls vs all music that was ever created. Carbon foot print from vinyl is lower than online streamed music due to the co2 foot print of all the servers serving online music. I think vinyl is a fun form to share and consume music.

Study of co2 emissions from streaming vs analogue music
"The research shows GHGs of 140 million kilograms in 1977, 136 million kilograms in 1988, and 157 million in 2000. But by 2016 the generation of GHGs by storing and transmitting digital files for those listening to music online is estimated to be between 200 million kilograms and over 350 million kilograms in the US alone."

> And they are the ones who suffer most when elitists insist that public transit (and public schools, etc.) should be forced to deal with troubled or anti-social people, be de facto homeless shelters, etc.

I've gotta second this. Public transit and schools end up dealing with many of the US' social ills because we don't want to pay to deal with the problems directly.

I don't blame the homeless folks on the train, as uncomfortable as it is to be on the train with them, because I realize that many people wealthy enough to never have to take the train feel it's not worth the higher taxes and building of housing + treatment facilities needed to deal with the problem.

The status quo almost seems to be working as intended.
Breeder reactors are really nice in that they produce lots of energy that you can use to produce food and oxygen. Biosphere 2 was a hippy project that tried to reproduce a complex ecosystem that nobody really understood. The Russians had much more pragmatic approaches.

>derogatory views of people that have chosen or have ended up in different life paths

I have no qualms admitting that I have derogatory views regarding the homeless guy that screams racial slurs at the driver when he's asked to stop smoking on the bus. Most people aren't concerned about the "average" passenger, they're concerned about the worst one you'll experience on a given day. And the worst can range from minor things like the kid blasting shitty trap music on his bluetooth speaker, to someone who is in such a low place in life that it would actually improve their situation to shove you in front of a train and spend the rest of their life being housed and fed in prison.

No, you can create Methane out of thin air with electricity and store that in the existing infrastructure for strategic gas reserves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-gas

It's a very convenient way to store large amounts of energy for dark, windstill winters. If you then have a decent number of gas plants you can turn it into electricity to run the heat pumps in your homes.
The pre-built model is a facinating insight to Chinese politics/society.

> Gamble / Porn / Political / Nomal (model='harmful')

Not sure what Nomal is, but 'Political' is considered harmful? I suppose they mean politics has the potential to be harmful. Would be interesting to see what material it was trained on (a cross section of pro and anti-CCP? pro-CCP would still be political, but then why would that need to be classified under a harmful model?)

> Lottery ticket / Finance / Estate / Home / Tech / Society / Sport / Game / Entertainment (model='news')

Interesting bit here is that Lottery Tickets are included in news and yet gambling is included in harmful. Is the lottery not considered gambling in China? Or gambling just has the potential to be harmful, despite also being news?
It was over morally for the human speciea the moment we ended up with a system where by a single person could decide upon the extrajudicial killing of another person via remote control and we did not collectively revolt. AI is irrelevant. Once we have unleashed the mechanized killing of people via the black box it doesn't really matter the layers of systems we build atop it. Without the moral integrity to rebel against the clearest and most basic form of this system we have already given ourselves over to it.
Planting large forests and turning the wood into biochar would probably reduce carbon dioxide to preindustrial levels on a timeline of centuries, not tens of thousands of years. We can also do things like accelerate olivine weathering and seeding the oceans with iron.
Golden gate transit and marin transit are different authorities. I like golden gate transit. The buses are the best public ones I've ever been in. Ive lived in marin and South bay and marin is way more connected to SF. Bus service runs much more consistently from and to more parts of the city than anything from South bay (if i recall correctly, some routes are 24/7)

I took the 24 and yes i lived near a bus stop because thats what you should do when you have money (like everyone in marin) and are choosing where to live.

Marin is by far the most livable and accessible place in all the bay area. You can get to all parts (including the coast and natural areas) via regular bus service and some walking which puts it lightyears ahead of South bay.
> stop at all the places people want to get on and off.

This is an interesting trade-off. Assuming that people get off the bus somewhat randomly, then average stop spacing should be about a quarter-mile: https://pedestrianobservations.com/2018/10/30/sometimes-bus-...

But the above assumes a nice grid. Many suburban bus routes have awkward deviations which cost time on side streets to get to an office park or similar. Fundamentally the trade-off is additional walking for some vs. additional time on the bus for all.

I had an experience with a major app that had a major 2FA fail. They wouldn't even look at it unless submitted through Hacker One (I was giving them a friendly heads-up and sought no compensation).

I spent hours documenting it, writing detailed descriptions, and making a video of the leak in a live session.

They closed the case with a vague (and unrelated) message within 30 minutes of its submission.

I deleted their app, never used it again, and don't work with people who do.
Usually whatever hours per month you see for pilots is just flight time, and pilots work more than that.
Yes; in fact memcpy/move are intrinsics in LLVM IR and are one of the more common targets of its idiom recognizer. Fun fact: many loop replacements and vectorizations depend on signed induction variable, so that the compiler doesn't have to prove it doesn't overflow. (Unsigned overflow is defined, signed overflow is UB and thus can be ignored)

>Carbon foot print from vinyl is lower than online streamed music due to the co2 foot print of all the servers serving online music.

The quote and article you linked doesn't say or support that. It is more likely that there are just far more people listening to music now than there were before. I don't think that switching from streaming to records would result in fewer GHGs. The article you linked doesn't specify.

Indeed, thanks! Skimmed a bit too quickly.
Oddly enough, you can actually make a good career as a farrier (working with horseshoes). There's not a lot of demand for farriers, but there's an even smaller supply, so they tend to have plenty of work. It's one of those careers that most people don't even consider or even know exist, so they struggle to get new apprentices and workers.

It's one of those jobs that won't be automated very soon either, and demand is steady (there aren't many horses these days, but the numbers aren't going down).
> Also the experience of going to second hand stores to chat with fellow music lovers and discover new artists feels very human to me.

It's really fun to buy .50 cent records because you like the cover. I've discovered some good music that way.
In addition to this, audio engineers mastering albums often have different masters for vinyl vs. CD resulting in different dynamic ranges.

It's not just a matter of reproduction. Humans make the products different.
> So dude who is (at the time) convicted of a sexual crime involving a minor shows up at MIT Media Lab with a pair of very young, model-looking women assistants, what what are rational moral actors supposed to think? That he's just a railroaded maverick?

It was unstated what the age or appearance of the women in question was. If they were of legal age, then they were likely simply escorts, in no need of anyone's rescue. If they appeared to be underage, that likely would have been stated in the article.
Sneaking up on Bayesian Inference (A fable in four acts) (2016)
It was unstated what the age of the women referenced in the article was. Indeed if it appeared that they were underage, that would have been deeply problematic. But I note that the article does not actually say that, which strongly implies that they did not appear to anyone to be underage. Because if they did, that would have been made explicit, since it fits the fact pattern attempting to be established here.
Not surprised the data is being used for investigations, surprised it's being sold to private investigators. There's a big difference between bribing the person behind the service desk counter to do a license plate lookup, and actually just selling the data for profit.

Let me be more clear, then. If Epstein indeed showed up with a pair of 'assistants' that looked like they were underage, that is terrible. If Joi Ito condoned that or failed to act upon discovery of that, he deserves all the blame he's getting.

However, I note that the article avoids actually stating that the women appeared to be underage. It avoids saying anything about their age or appearance at all, other than that they were attractive. Had they appeared to be underage, that likely would have been made explicit in the article, since it fits the fact pattern that the article is trying to establish. Therefore we can reasonably conclude that the women in question did not appear to anyone to be underage. And as such, it is likely that they were simply high class escorts, and under no form of duress and in no need of rescue by anyone.

If we can't avoid overpopulating a planet, how and why should we think will we avoid overpopulating Mars or Mini Ringworld?

Well if plan B in space is for only some, it's not saving humanity but is a "fuck you" to most of them. I think some pretty core human problems will show pretty damn quickly after that:

Once the remaining 6.9bn realise they're not invited to the party, that there is a definite plan for all the wealthy and politician types to piss off to Mars or some space station, the rest might very reasonably decide that's a tad unfair. Especially if their own future is some apocalyptic die off, perversely made worse by all those emissions from the thousands of rocket launches. They might sensibly think that instead of quietly waiting for the 4 horsemen to show up with their exit, better to go out by trashing all the supply rockets and bases of project space, and reach for petrol, pitchfork or assault rifle. Maybe one more emission laden launch to blow those entitled assholes out of orbit...

We haven't yet shown viability in any of the sealed biome experiments. Not once. The old Russian experiments back during their lunar programme got closest.

Hence me thinking much cheaper and simpler just to address the damn problem properly. :)
> They should open source their platform and provide a variety of online services and also support on running the platform internally, then offer it to the global market of taxi companies, delivery providers and enterprise level car fleets.

While I would appreciate Lyft being a company like that, I suspect that most people won't care whether the taxi-companies use open platforms; and taxi companies would have no incentives to use Lyft's platform when the taxi companies already have their own network.
“I do not personally regard the whole of the remaining cities of Germany as worth the bones of one British Grenadier.”
To some extent, I think that 'simple' depends on your own listening history. Jazz that sounds like noise to one listener might sound logical to the next once the second guy has internalized all of the cliches that are built into the music. If tension-release mechanisms simply result in tension, you gotta problem.

I've largely retooled my thinking on a lot of these things. I can see more genius in a pop tune that is highly addictive than in something with complex changes going 100 miles an hour. Rather than wondering why people prefered (being an old guy) The Eagles to Joe Henderson, I've made an effort to appreciate popular music more.

Dunno much about classical music, and you can argue about whether it's anything but a museum piece (and interesting more for live sound in an era of perfectly good recordings), but I've always been surprised how jazz has largely avoided taking on useful rock cliches in building arrangements. I would think that instrumental music would be more popular as a result.
> I've experienced this myself, it's pretty frustrating to wait 2-5 minutes for a C++ app to compile / link just so you can debug it for 30 seconds and start all over again.

That's quaint. When I first started working in C++ professionally, we were at +16 hours for a clean build and link of just one of our systems (circa 2004). Over the years, reduced the amount of code (without sacrificing functionality), shared common code (object model) between client and server (went from about 2M LOC to about 250k LOC), reduced the number of external dependencies, introduced precompiled headers on both windows and Linux, and a clean build was down to about 30 minutes. An incremental build and link could be less than 30 seconds, depending on the scope of the change. But, yeah, C++ leaves a lot to be desired in terms of edit, build, test, repeat cycles.
Naw. It doesn't. Programming, UI, UX has ethics. But computer science doesn't have ethics just like mathematics doesn't have ethics.

I did the same thing!

But they didn't like it. So I wrote the naivest possible popcount and returned 1 == naive_bitcount(n).

They didn't like that. I explained to them that the compiler will optimize or the loop so this will be fast and that they should check it on godbolt. (did I mention that I was coding on the white board?) There's a loop in the source code, but there isn't a loop in the machine code, and it's like three instructions.

They didn't like that either, so I worked out the n & (n-1) method from first principals. I didn't do it optimally, there was some redundancy in my code, which the interviewer smugly explained to me. I can't remember if I told him "that's nice, but it's still an extra instruction compared to the trivial, obvious, easy to maintain method I showed you ten minutes ago." I'm pretty sure I didn't, too afraid to make a bad impression.

I didn't get the job. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't. Those guys are dicks.

Golden gate transit and marin transit are different authorities.

Marin Transit contracts out to Golden Gate Transit (the bridge district), Marin Airporter, Whistlestop, and MV Transit. For many years they simply used the bridge district but that was too expensive so they've farmed many routes out to cheaper (read: non-union) companies using smaller equipment.

Bus service runs much more consistently from and to more parts of the city than anything from South bay (if i recall correctly, some routes are 24/7)

Here's a map of late night public transit service. Note that Marin is conspicuously devoid of any routes. While it will take an extraordinarily long time you can get from San Francisco to San Jose late at night on public transit. Public transit in Marin shuts down between 9pm and midnight.

https://511.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/RTC/allnighter-v10....

I took the 24 and yes i lived near a bus stop because thats what you should do when you have money (like everyone in marin) and are choosing where to live.

Most people don't and can't do this. Transit oriented development is regularly protested to a degree that SF NIMBYs would be green with envy if they saw how things worked in Marin.

Marin is by far the most livable and accessible place in all the bay area.

Based on?

You can get to all parts (including the coast and natural areas) via regular bus service and some walking which puts it lightyears ahead of South bay.

Yeah, that's definitely not true.
