Consider the alternative: the Espionage Act is almost never used, partly because there is a very strong chance it’s unconstitutional. Do we expect a UK judge to determine whether a US law violates the US Constitution as part of an extradition hearing? Or does it make more sense to extradite and have the US court system rule on the law’s constitutionality?

The UK at least is a common law country with historical connections to the US and a common language. I would expect a UK judge to do a better job of applying US law than a judge from a civil law country.

Yes, the inconvenience of being extradited and spending time in jail should mean something, but in practice the courts don’t give that a lot of weight. They just say they’ve balanced the relevant factors and made a decision.

Serious question: what evidence is there that WeWork was built to be "sustainable"?

Doesn't the evidence quite clearly demonstrate the EXACT OPPOSITE, that WeWork was built to be a VC-guzzling gamble that would implode the second investors stopped funding the losses?

The only "sustainable" part was destroying the competition to build some semblance of a moat

Breakdowns of petroleum use generally split between transport, commercial/residential, and industrial uses.

NOx generally result from very high-temperature combustion -- sources such as building heat and cooking hobs won't contribute so much (though they can produce considerable net CO2 emissions, soot, and VOCs). Stationary powerplants (construction equipment, generators, compressors, pumps), and and industrial processes, typically account for much.

Landscaping equipment, especially two-cycle engines, are especially polluting due to incomplete combustion.
There are two types of possible regulation, one is control and the other is liability.

With control, some administrative body says you have to do X, Y and Z. And presumably, if you jump through the hoops and it blows up, there is an implicit guarantee. This kind of regulation is common across banks, and in 2008 when all the reserve requirements were deemed insufficient and all the acceptable ratings meaningless, there was a bailout.

The other alternative is a liability approach. You are liable for something (e.g. protection of customer information) and you are responsible for execution in the best way to know possible. If you fail, there is some punitive measure taken.

I personally prefer the second, especially since security is a hard problem. There are best practices, sure, but from my experience, I don't believe regulators and auditors are effective in their stated goals.

Scrolling through the comments I'm surprised (and not all at the same time) no one has made a comment like this:

So what?

If an attacker is able to reach your DB the ballgame at 90% of the way over already. Yes I understand that a strong U/P on the DB server would be 1 final gate but unless I'm living in some alternative reality I can tell you plenty of companies use weak/shared/guessable passwords for stuff that shouldn't be reachable from the outside like this. And honestly? Securing the DB with 1 extra (potentially useless) line of defense is an extremely low priority for most businesses.
Business personas in ML, their challenges and opportunities
to be honest, I think this has more to do with the way a lot of companies interview. I was probably a much stronger interviewee immediately after graduating college than I am now after having worked in the field for half a decade. I'm a much more skilled developer now though. I don't read textbooks in my free time, so if I end up in an interview where they are asking me textbook questions I'm not going to do as well. I had an interview recently for a senior dev role and they were asking me things like, "what are the 4 pillars of OOP?", and I thought to myself, "Off the top of my head, IDK, but it sounds like something I probably learned in school."

edit: I guess you're more so comparing people with degrees vs. those without so my response would better fit under the parent comment. basically all I'm saying is yes, 10 years experience does mean something in this field, but if your interview style isn't picking up on that then your interview process is broken.

What slows down endpoints is usually shitty security engineering, and multiple pieces of security software doing essentially the same thing (my company uses three different monitoring tools which all hash executables). 9 times out of 10 you can blame some manager in your security team who bought unnecessary endpoint security software to cover their ass after they listened to a bullshit sales pitch.
>Incidentally I got a proposal to vote on the other day proposing changing Park Lane southbound into park land with cafes which I think would be nice.

It is unlikely to be happen due to the 'solutions' proposed in section 3.3.10 through to 3.3.13 (pg33). Which states that there is no will to implement any measures on this part of the thoroughfare by the incumbent landowners ─ any attempts to do so, have been thwarted for more than a century. The well heeled clientèle, do not particularly need a bohemian cafe culture at the doorstep nor do they care about pedestrians, especially when they arrive at the affluent hotels/hedge fund offices/ ballrooms/casinos, in their luxury automobiles to work & play. The addition of having access to exclusive shopping districts, restaurants, entertainment within spitting distance in any direction, further erodes any case for pedestrianisation.

However, there is a good case for lowering speed limit, modernising the subway access and creating more ways to cross between the central reservation, across to Hyde Park.
Well, they can always leave if they can find such another job.

I'd love to been suggested that arrangement instead of the "We're sorry we are out of money" excuse I got (while the company was heavily spending in other stuff). 3 months later they "got a new client" and posted new job ads to hire back the positions (while swapping all senior positions with junior staff).

What angers me about the situation is not that I was laid off, but that it was a decision only justifiable by focusing exclusively in the short term.
The usual problem is of defining merit and testing it.

The critical step that is almost always missing is testing the measure - matching it and results.
Reality is much more messy than most everything used to decide merit - ultimately even third party judges can be biased or the sample taken might not be representative.
Sadly having been in such an environment, I can confirm that indemnity insurance exists for such situations. What happens is the underwriter to reduce risk mandates a very rigid process.

In one case, I saw a "private cloud" provider underwrite their client's system by owning the "software-development-release-cycle". They were mandating quarterly releases and three-month manual testing and regression periods.

They put themselves in a situation whereby they could charge the client for the tin, administering the process, the time and materials for the deployment and testing and the indemnity premium.

They reduce their risk/exposure because of infrequent releases and such long regression cycles meant assurance levels were rarely met within the dedicated window. There was a very long tail of unreleased features. In summary, they mitigated any risk by chocking the product, reducing the number of releases and the size of them to deliver a fraction of the value available.

We learned to work around by taking advantage of feature switching, but quarterly releases are a death knell for a product.
China Sharpens Hacking to Hound Its Minorities, Far and Wide
For quick iterations, you have ghci. You just edit your files, type :r and it will recompile only necessary files, which is really quick (and I miss it in most other REPLs). Similar with incremental compilation. But if you need to compile huge project always from scratch, of course, you will suffer.

There have been work on making haskell to have deterministic build to speed up compile time, and compare to scala, I find it way faster (in my current company, we use scala). But note that if you start using stuff like template haskell, your compilation will slow down.
In a market where Equifax having a critical data breach threatened is bottom line, they'd be incentivized to implement this themselves.

WeWork Delaying Mass Layoffs Because It Can't Afford Severance
It depends.

Think of:

- OO DB, like key/val storage, but with stored procedures. It's Phantom.

- Smart home UI, SCADA front - lots of METAdata about widgets, windows, screens, etc - but getting all the actual data from network. It's Phantom.

- Robotics. How long your self-driving car takes to reboot, fsck and restart all applications when it drives 100 mph?

- Medic equipment. Please do not die for five minutes, we need to reload application.

There are places that in any case need very clever and special software, would gain of fast same-state restart and need complex but more or less static configuration.

Think of partial use of Phantom nature. Be it usual Unix app, but with ability to have access to pre-built complex object structure to use.

One example: if you have 200 fonts on your PC, starting any appl that uses fonts is "wait half an hour till I rescan all these fonts for you".

Let Phantom personality to prepare persistent font data structures and Unix personality to use them.

It is really interesting even to start thinking in persistent manner. There are new worlds behind, forgive me being pathos man a bit. :)
That's a great link, but they're looking at "misconfigurations". How is that relevant here?
I see one risk for Firefox: if they block all trackers, e.g. Google Analytics, then it would appear to people viewing browser statistics in Google Analytics that no-one is using Firefox, and thus the developers will be told they don't need to test anything on Firefox.

I don't see much difference in the two approaches, except the later case will require customers to collectively sue you for damages, in which case you can probably run a cost-benefit analysis to find out if it would be worth it.

In a regulatory environment, if a corporation does not comply, the punishment is increased until either the corporation complies or seizes to exist. Since not existing is bad for profit, corporations usually comply eventually.

In a liablatory environment, as long as nothing happens, a corporation can continue to proceed down a dark path with no ill effects and abuse the rules as they see fit. It's only costly when things go wrong and you can calculate the likely cost of things going wrong.
If all software automatically changed its own admin password after 121 days, and refused to set old passwords (store the last 5 salted hash), that might be a good enough stick to force people to rotate passwords themselves, and default passwords would go away.
Website owners can just use the user agent in weblogs to determine this.
I think one of the problems people have with free open source in general is that it's hard to get a bearing on exactly what additional risks come with it now and in the future.

Will it stay open source and free to use?
Will it be actively maintained?
Can I get support for issues in a timely manner?
Will someone be there to helpfully guide or at least review and accept my contributions?

There needs many more dimensions to the categorization and it would be very nice if OSS projects could be graded along them all.
They are optimizing for profit. Your mind share is not mind share they care about because the chance of converting you into a paying customer is close to nil. You might as well not exist to them.

These practices are all about extracting more money from potential customers.
I agree it's not ideal that something so important wasn't at least only accessible by VPN but any decent IT professional knows to set a strong password like this, because it's so easy to do so - sometimes you can't just use a VPN because of historic reasons or due to the complexity of the network but you can certainly set a strong password on a database server.

Assuming patched, modern database software, that should keep attackers at bay until all the failed login attempts are spotted. It's very embarrassing that they (allegedly) did not do this. Of course, note that in this case it's a custom web application so it would probably be at least more of a challenge to compromise.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonprofit_organization

"A nonprofit organization, also known as a non-business entity,[1] not-for-profit organization,[2] or nonprofit institution,[3] is dedicated to furthering a particular social cause or advocating for a shared point of view. In economic terms, it is an organization that uses its surplus of the revenues to further achieve its ultimate objective, rather than distributing its income to the organization's shareholders, leaders, or members. Nonprofits are tax exempt or charitable, meaning they do not pay income tax on the money that they receive for their organization. They can operate in religious, scientific, research, or educational settings.""

Determining which organizations should be charged with third-party security audits / regulation in an already complicated regulatory landscape (orgs may already be providing security info to 2-3 regulators in different formats is challenge 1.

Challenge 2 is actually getting any legislator / regulator (at least in the United States in the current climate) to agree that this is an important and urgent regulatory matter worth adding the burden to companies', and that they should move on this now to improve overall national security.

Challenge 3 is to only make the request once, in a standard format so that the data is actually relevant instead of overlapping requests from different organizations that turn useful data into a paperwork drill that is irrelevant by the time it leaves the org.

Lastly, I'd say some sort of open source middleware proof of concept to exchange this information would go a long way toward accountability. Industry could even propose the best option themselves via their existing interest groups.
This is a very unnecessary and long winded answer rejecting a position towards a Facebook recruiter.
