> Genuinely looking for clarification - what does "untestable claim" means to you in this context?

Simply what I wrote above: The fact that no observation counts as evidence against the claim, every possible observed behaviour can be explained by "it's magic". That includes the behaviour of all the components of the system, including the people. You claim that there are all those people and roles that make sure that crap doesn't go to production. I make the observation that those people and roles and whatnot have decided to implement a 5-char limit on passwords. You respond that "it's magic". No matter how obviously terrible the observable effects of the system are, you will find some rationalization why the black-box magic can exhibit this behaviour while also being perfectly secure.

In case you aren't aware, it's a term from epistemology/philosophy of science.
> You need to have some protection against brute-forcing.

Yes, that protection is called "password".

> Whether it's limiting the rate of guessing or whatever, the attacker is still "modifying the state of a system."

Which is why you should not limit the rate of guessing (or at least offer that option--limiting the rate of guessing does help users who use terrible passwords, after all).

> Indeed, that's a weird rule. When someone stole my credit card number and ran up charges, my bank called me to verify them. How was that not "modifying the state of a system?"

Which is exactly why that shouldn't be a thing. Being able to pay with a semi-public number is just stupid. You should have to authenticate using a strong password, and "stealing credit card numbers" simply wouldn't be a thing anymore.

Even if you think the vast majority of them turn their phones off, it's still a huge number of people who don't.

I would also like to know this. This is absolutely unacceptable behavior and I would be fuming if my device pulled a stunt like that.

My perspective is that "const type" order consistently appears in all versions of the ISO C standard and POSIX.

Every major system API I can remember working with that didn't hide const behind a typedef (like Win32's LPCSTR and whatnot) has it const first.

Speaking of Microsoft, though the API's hide const with a typedef, the MSDN samples are predominantly "const char" order.

I've never seen a man page with "int const".

Searching all of the man pages I have installed on an Ubuntu 18 system here (literally grepping through all of /usr/share/man), I found just one with "char const" or "int const". Namely this one:

$ man guestfs-hacking

This contains:

int
commandvf (char **stdoutput, char **stderror, unsigned flags,
char const *const *argv)

In the same man page, there are other declarations that have the predominant convention:

int
commandrf (char **stdoutput, char **stderror, unsigned flags,
const char *name, ...)

You just worked on some unusual code bases, and are glossing over the language and system API's those code bases depended on, and their respective docs.

I vaguely recall the whole fallout where it was revealed he clearly did not understand undefined behavior, and I believe he did walk back and accept his misunderstanding.

That said, yes it is damned annoying to have someone that doesn't understand the intricate details of the language poop all over that community and act as if "well i've contributed lots of code in C, why listen to a bunch of language lawyers, that isn't important anyway" as if the two are mutually exclusive. There are some of us that have been using C for years for actual work and are also intricately familiar with the prickly details of the standard. Those are the people that you should be looking for C books. Zed Shaw consistently shows he would rather hear the sound of his own voice and diminish things that are uninteresting to him rather than put in that work to become an expert on all facets of the topic he is claiming expertise.

I work as a data scientist on an extremely data driven team at an extremely data driven company, and I couldn't agree more strongly. Everyone I work with would agree too. "Numbers aren't everything!" says the person whose job it is to deal with business problems via numbers.

But this advice is so hard to implement. It's like the whole null hypothesis p-value debacle going on in academic publishing right now. Sure we can agree it's no good, but there's no standard alternative.

Standards are powerful. They break lots of ties. All else equal, if you have a hunch and I have a measurement tied to objective reality, people will side with me. Nobody ever got fired for choosing Java. Nobody ever got fired for doing the thing that made The Metrics go up.

It's so reassuring to just say "We still disagree, so let's just test it." We're submitting our dispute to adjudication via Science by resolving via The Metrics! It's much harder to be objective without these kinds of numbers, and I like being objective! I want the scientific method to tell me I did the right thing and I'm a good person.

Because without that, when we're trying to figure out what to do, it's just us, you know? It feels like guessing, and that's hard.

When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.

The principles of science do not allow us to rule out the possibility that these events are the result of alien life or supernatural phenomena. But it does give us plenty of evidence that there are more mundane, more plausible explanations.

And when you're faced with a potentially world-changing revelation, like confirmed contact with extraterrestrial life, it is basic due diligence to speculate on and rule out those mundane explanations first.

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. But you have to eliminate first. That is how you arrive at new knowledge, and that is how paradigms are shifted.

Could it be supernatural beings trolling humanity? Sure. But such an extraordinary claim requires correspondingly extraordinary evidence. That it was a secret, terrestrial weapons system designed to confound FLIR also requires evidence, but it's a much more likely explanation, and can generally be accepted as probable with correspondingly less evidence.

Interesting - I’d like your unfiltered take, but I totally understand your position. I’ve heard very positive feedback from one security person at Google, and I don’t know Fermin, but taking a CSO role there would suggest to me that he believes in it.

If you are comfortable sharing more, I’d be curious what you found that it struggles with, without burning it to the ground. It’s possible that different security teams use it in different ways, and it might be more suitable depending on your expectations. It’s also possible that the feedback I heard was during the honeymoon period, and practical issues outweigh the utility once you use it more.

But I’ve seen real 0-days found with it, first hand and second hand, so I’m having trouble reconciling that with your account that it’s not useful for security.
I grew up in Beijing and because of the affinity politics are more common topic there. It’s not that “open”, more like in private dinner party, inner circle friend hangout and more likely you can safely start those conversations with taxi drivers who blames the government all the time

The decision to keep people in dark to me is silly but the motivation was always rumors spreads too fast and too wild in China, so it makes sense for the ruler to fear even if they aren’t that dirty. What’s funny is the harder they try to cover up things the quicker it spreads “hey try search XXX it’s blocked”

This is the only way government is influenced. I know, I've worked there.

I was looking at it earlier and the query syntax seems awesome. I’ve spent the last few months writing custom rules (queries) for fortify sca- which is another static code analysis tool and I must say, Semmle seems like it’s a lot easier to use.

Static code analysis tooling is never the end all be all for vulnerability research, but it does let you express vulnerability patterns for implementation type vulnerabilities and find them at a mass scale (that is if your rules/queries are legit).

Thanks for you feedback ! We talked to the co-founders of Kimono Labs and their approach was a bit different. Our goal is to automate processes on the Internet and scraping is just the first step.

Timing is perfect because to do that, you need a robust headless browser and a smart way to locally identify the elements on the page if you don't want to maintain your scripts. That's why we use Puppeteer and TensorflowJS which didn't exists 2-3 years ago.

But sure, there are website owners who don't want an API for their website. Our plan is not to fight against them but to start with owner that are already convinced that they could benefits from automating the usage of their website. The banking sector understood that, and that's why Yodlee and Plaid are so successful today.

And if you step back, there are tons of websites that don't have the ressources to create an API (30% of the websites have been created using Wordpress) and don't know the value they could generate from it.

So yes, we'll have to overcome a lot of challenges to build this technology and make it accessible to everyone but we are convinced that the Internet will be used more and more programmatically in the future and we are just paving the way for it ;)

This is a disappointment. I've been a Fi customer since the early days, but the last year or so I was mostly just staying on Fi because I was hoping they'd announce better pricing. Everything uses so much more data than 3 years ago now, which has made Fi more and more expensive. Is there still any way to get the T-Mobile $30 Walmart plan? I now regret giving that plan up for Fi, because today where you easily need 2+GB of data every month it's a much better deal, it even offered 2G data internationally (enough for WhatsApp, maps, etc). I'll be looking for Fi alternatives now that I know to not expect better pricing.
The fundamental thing about gravitational waves is that those are a new form of data that the universe has always been sending towards us, and that we can read now. It's like being able to read the radio waves coming from the universe for the first time, not just the visible spectrum, or close to the visible spectrum.

If future advances in this field permit we may even use those to communicate. Who knows, perhaps someone is already talking in that language.

> I see nothing stupid with using quantum mechanics and nuclear science in this context.

Why? Where would we even need QM or Nuke tech for these?

Metamaterials for tricking FLIR? That's the closest I can think and I'd call anyone out for calling that QM. We don't call carbon nanotubes quantum tech, because they're in the nano realm, which is FAR from the quantum regime. I'm not sure where else we could come even close. Quantum is sub atomic, we're really just at the birth of atomic tech right now too (It'd be fine to call some metameterials atomic tech). When we're talking quantum we're talking about things that require quantum effects; like teleportation. There's nothing here that is really demonstrating quantum effects.

Nukes? Where do we need them for this? Hot material is very heavy, and well... hot (radioactive). This isn't really good for stealth tech, since you have to provide a lot of extra shielding just so you don't fry the electronics, let alone hide the emissions in the radio, IR, X-ray, and gamma spectra. Then there's the fact that there's no current tech indicating that such a power source could be useful in this space. Unless you're thinking something other than a power source... which I can't think of any. For power sources there are a lot of other possible explanations that don't require generations of work (specifically in size, weight, and efficiency) to have been done in complete secret (because that's how advanced we're talking about if we want to use something nuclear here. Secret tech isn't ever even a generation ahead, though it is ahead). And I mean _generations_ of work. We're not even close.

If you're seeing something I'm not, I'm legitimately curious.

> I'm sure they know what those words mean on a surface level. They don't really need to understand them beyond that point, it's not their job.

I'd argue that the use cases more demonstrate that they know _the words_ but don't even know surface level meaning. I'm arguing that we should call people out for using buzzwords needlessly.

Note: I am fine with the uses of electromagnetics (I'll let that pass) and thermal-dynamics, even though I don't know why we would need to have extreme advancements in thermally efficient materials here. Not unless these things were hypersonic. These connections at least I can pass off as surface level knowledge, but QM and Nuke are just laughable.
