I'm a big fan of maintaining a forced 90 day disclosure period to pressure companies that do not address relevant security bugs.

But why, when a security issue is fixed, whitehats tend to always disclose immediately? Since it is fixed it is not relevant any more, and disclosing now only increases the likelihood of a hacker abusing the bug. Instead wouldn't it be better if the targeted entity just disclosed that "a critical security vulnerability was found" and that "users should upgrade immediately"?

I don't see the point of disclosing the specifics of a fixed security vulnerability soon after the fix? I understand that recognition is an important factor, but isn't it more logical to delay the recognition step for e. g. 6 months?

Recruiters are hired to do a job which typically means get as ass in a seat. A contractor isn’t that, so they don’t want it.

Recruiting is a very concrete, straightforward task. Anything that doesn’t fit into the mold is simply ignored. It’s not illogical, don’t take it personally. They got horse blinders on and aren’t focusing on anything that isn’t directly tied to their duties.

Also (anecdotally) the kind of recruiters who are going to reach out to you are not the kind of people you want to be working with anyway.

All this being said, I empathize with you. Ultimately there’s a significant chance that you are exactly the type of person that they are ultimately being hired to find... but it’s not the way that business works.
+1 for the first and second points, but I think it will play out much differently.

Facebook will try to defy regulators, but I think the SEC will stomp on them, hard. It will end up a hybrid battle in the courts and Congress between libertarians, a few flavors of privacy advocates, US regulatory concerns, and ultimately land on US power projection concerns.

I think the US will eventually shape the law and regulatory environment to prevent the existence of any cryptocurrency with its own valuation - distributed ledgers denominated in central bank currencies will be all that is allowed at the end.

The US financial system is a core pillar of US world power and Congress isn't going to give that power away to Facebook. It will be a complex road because the issues are difficult to grok.
Of course! Disproving known stuff is the best thing about science.

"Corporations have good business reasons to embrace history, philosophy and English majors. Companies need well-rounded employees conversant in both digital and creative skills. With some additional training and investments by the government, companies can leverage both the liberal arts and digital know-how that is needed for increasingly complex technological systems."

This is the kind of writing you get from a liberal arts major, absolute fluff that floats right by the heart of the issue and just uses generalizations hoping you'll arrive at the same conclusion they did. Nope.

So are you printing them out, and sticking them in the wall?
The limitations are not entirely without reason, from my point of view. With app installation, there’s explicit consent involved — apps can never run unless I have requested such. On the web, all it takes is a redirect in an unexpected place to open an “app” that I want absolutely nothing to do with, at which point it’s free to slurp up all the unpermissioned data it wants.

That’s not to say that browser vendors have a bad track record when it comes to permission dialogs, but there’s still a ridiculous amount that they just hand over to sites without any prompt whatsoever.

This is easily fixable, however: just restrict the greater bulk of API access to “installed” PWAs, where the app runs in its own little easily manageable container with zero access to my main browser and specialized permissions UI.

What U Think?
Not on a multiverse directly, but I think there is merit to @hinkley's claim. Say there's a one trillionth chance that life forms on an earth-like planet. There are likely trillions of earth-like planets, so chances are good (given the assumptions) that life forms on (at least) one of those planets. People on that planet (Earth) will marvel that life was created and search for reasons that seem plausible and likely for life to have been created given the initial conditions, but the initial assumption that the chances were minuscule still remains.

That is to say, we may not be able to easily predict and rationalize the beginning of life based on the initial conditions of the earth, because it is likely that it was an improbable fluke. It feels like a lottery winner trying to explain how they won the lottery.
Emissions controls counts as a regulation. That on it's own is a substantial cost. I think you're using a narrow definition of the word regulation.

Not knowing what the next administration is going to change adds cost of uncertainty.

If it weren't due to regulation, that would mean it's due to technology or raw cost. Both of which are ruled out by the fact that the US is the third largest coal exporter in the world, and exports have increased in the last 3 years.

If our coal weren't cheap, it wouldn't be worth exporting. If coal power plants weren't cheap, developing countries would be switching to the cheaper technology.

Even if the regulators let them get away with that, nobody in Europe is particularly in need of a cryptocurrency for moving money around Europe, we have near-instant money transfers for free (or close to it) through our banks.

I came across an article about DNA but did not had time to read it and lost it. It was about some ideas why DNA has 4 bases (and not 6 or 8). They also mention why 20 (?) amino acids. It was something similar to degrees of freedom.

Can't be guaranteed that the race is the same. I know that seems like some kind of "given" but it's clearly not in my case. I was born with brown eyes but both my parents had blue eyes.

I looked nothing like them or the extended family. While that happens for non-sperm donor kids - it's exceptionally rare that they look nothing like anyone from the extended family on both sides. In my case - I probably look a lot like my biological father's side.

In terms of what it tells you - it tells you what your potential ancestry could be. If you have parents who have no idea what they're ancestry is (mine don't) then you might have interest. Of course - once you do it... you're gonna find out you're a sperm donor child pretty fast.

A hacker doesn't need the disclosure if a patch is already available.
No. The problem is that one would expect the "easy" steps to be resolved first, so uncovering them says very little about how unlikely the hard steps are.

That "strong indication" comment is BS.
I think one can consider this like publishing an exploit. If the EFF can get that data, so can any shady organization, probably without you even knowing. They're casting light on the issue.
My understanding is that they are limiting the relationship between Facebook as a corporate entity and Libra, at least on paper. Whether regulators treat it this way is another matter.

But FB must be spending a lot on lobbying, and that should help them avoid any major surprises regarding enforcement actions.

> I would short Netflix at this market cap...

Netflix has $12B in debt. Subscriber growth has slowed a lot (2.7M per quarter). They're competing with big players with deep pockets, and sometimes large content libraries.

Services are getting so fragmented that I could see that being a net loss for the industry. Maybe people would have paid $20 per month for Netflix with 95% content coverage, but I cancelled my subscription because $12 per month wasn't worth it for the three shows I watched.

Well, even if the bug report wasn't disclosed, there's a decent chance it was reverse engineered out of the patch that was released a week ago by anyone with enough determination. It seems like the act of disclosing it soon after the patch is available allows information to propagate through the security community, which in theory helps accelerate the spread of the update.
I think the US will eventually shape the law and regulatory environment to prevent the existence of any cryptocurrency with its own valuation - distributed ledgers denominated in central bank currencies will be all that is allowed at the end.

Existing SEC/CFTC/FinCen rulings seem to point in a very different direction. They've had many opportunities to shut down Bitcoin and have not done it.

Super Nintendo Game Bugs
AirBnB and Uber just kinda did it first and then asked permission. Facebook's only tiny hope of that strategy working was to announce Libra as being available first, not announcing the plan to governments first.

Plus, taxi and hotel regulations are a very different situation than laws intended to prevent international money laundering, tax evasion, sanction breaking, or black market economies.
For us this was the motorized archive stacks in our library's basement. No one ever went down there, so you could pile up in one of the chairs and work for hours and see only one or two people.

For those of you who are old enough, think back to all the sh*t your mom/uncle/grandparent would load up on their Windows 95 desktop.

Considering the state of healthcare and savings in the US this puts a majority of the population in poverty because they cannot afford a $500 medical expense.

Which is true, and I would agree on most people being impoverished even if you think they are buried in gadgets and high fructose corn syrup. Most people I know, meet, and would see on the street I would almost always bet are to varying degrees psychologically harmed by their poverties, whatever form they take.
Because blackhats look through updates to determine what has been fixed by reversing the change, and try to capitalize on the time between an update being available and it being widely deployed. The more you raise awareness of people that might be susceptible to attack in that time frame to get them to update sooner than automated systems would allow, the less victims there are to exploit.

I imagine there's probably a short time after update release, almost definitely in the single or double digit hours range, where you might be helping the blackhat that would reverse it do it quicker, but it's probably hard to do more harm than benefit by releasing the details earlier than later.
You have it backwards. PCI is prescriptive about specific ways you have to implement security, including certain requirements that make very little sense. HIPAA gives broad guidelines and you have flexibility as to how to meet those requirements. You can use a more prescriptive framework such as HITRUST to meet the HIPAA requirements, but you don't have to.

> How do you falsify his claim that he can read his opponent's faces and tell what cards they have?

This would be super easy to test. Since the cards are RFID spied-upon by the House, a player simply has to pretend to look at their cards while never actually seeing them. The RFID chips are still active and the likely source of the leak.

So just don't look at your cards, he'll still know what your cards are even though you don't!

Personally, that's not poker to me. Removing my ability to control the information about my cards - specifically letting the House know my cards before I do! - seems to violate the basic tenets of what makes poker poker. Shouldn't a player be allowed to fold and drop that information into a black hole? It's not poker if you can't do that! Key player strategies have always included selecting which information to reveal to other players. Removing this ability from the players changes the game, dramatically, as seen here.

The control of information has been wrestled from the player and forced into the hands of the House. Any amount of cheating should be expected in such a weird system of convoluted rules and specific data leaks planted into the system on purpose.
Autoplay smells very much like a Netflix vice president's pet project. Everybody hates it but it's politically impossible within Netflix to kill it until that vice president leaves. See Google+.
Can you be more specific in how exactly it would slow down the game and how cards are discarded? So people like me who never watched such poker streams in our lives could understand.
>We shouldn't be prioritizing anyone's interests via an institution with the right to licit first use of force.

Right. We should leave it to individuals with power and influence accrued during the current era, where we... prioritized some people's interests via an institution with the right to licit first use of force. Usually based on heritage.

This is definitely a good idea that you have had.

> the SEC will stomp on them

The SEC is a civil agency. Launching something like this naked would garner state and federal prosecutors’ interests.
Nobody cares about channels (ok probably some people do)... they care about the content.
The a la carte would be for a single show, not a whole channel.

Netflix is no different than a cable channel with on-demand access that happened to be essentially the first so they had a lot of stuff on the channel.
This would be only true if this was a international law. In all other cases you will have a ton of people just using what the other side under a different jurisdiction uses without even knowing it has no backdoor in it. The increase in false positives that comes with this will make it an unusable heuristic to identify criminals.
The goal of Libra was not really to compete with Western Union. It was more to compete with real cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, etc. and it wasn't just Facebook's idea. PayPal, Visa etc. know that real cryptocurrencies are eventually going to put them out of business. That's why they joined in on this fake cryptocurrency.

The reason companies are pulling out is probably just because it looks like it's not going to succeed. Another theory is that it is just too obvious when you have those payment company's names attached. Too easy for people like me to say "why do you think Visa and MasterCard would back a 'cryptocurrency'"?

It's quite possible that the people with real power in government will figure out that this is not a real cryptocurrency and in fact is the best defense the government has against real cryptocurrency which they can't track or interfere with. Because Facebook will give them total access for surveillance and control over transactions.
so the question is whether user freedom is a better tradeoff.

I will quote Benjamin Franklin

Per your description “disproving” sounds wrong. Sounds like she proved its overall correctness but found ways to correct for it.
The weird thing about "The I-Land" as well as their other recent fail "Another Life" is that in both cases it's the script that fails horribly. Ok so "Another Life" had a limited budget and most of it went to Katee, but "I-Land" has very high production value. So why didn't they spend more than $5 on the script in either case?

edit: The really annoying thing about "I-Land" is that it has an interesting premise at the core. They could have done so much better with that, it physically hurts.
