Executes realized that the "mob" is coming after them, not only their business, but after them on a personal stand point, and they would be right, so they are attempting to crackdown on it before a full on rebellion.

It was "OK" when activism was directed at the competition or randos on social media or GitHub or "conservatives", and they encouraged it, not realizing these activists were extremists or had ties to ideologues.

I don't think the reply is about BYOD... There is speculation about IMSI catchers being used to target personal cell phones without any BYOD app installed.

Didn't a whistleblower at a car company suggest this...

https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/13/18263757/tesla-elon-musk-...

And if such a a company had that technology then we can only speculate its use is more widespread than imagined.

Maybe this is the only reason remote jobs are not available at these companies... Nothing to do with being onsite just more of a precaution to vet employees before even allowing them to be remote.

So if a company could capture your personal text messages and personal cell phone calls while within an office campus (and no BYOD app installed)... would they use that knowledge to prevent poaching as well?

Be careful.

> Evolution has created the rules that one doesn't mix politics with business.

You mean, the power of the ruling class has created the rules that ruled class doesn't mix challenging their masters in with their service that is required for their survival.

Because politics and business are deeply mixed when you look at the ruling (capitalist) class, your “evolution” rule doesn't apply there. And politics that involve bootlicking for their particular masters is also rewarded in the working class, your “evolution” rule.dorsnt apply there, either. It's only politics that challenges one’s capitalist masters (usually embodied in a corporate employer) that is discouraged.

A general definition is "oppressive power."

A tyranny must be recognized. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Revolution

"The Continental Congress declared King George a tyrant who trampled the colonists' rights as Englishmen..."

If you recognize a tyranny but do nothing, you stand to receive further oppression. Consider the case of the PRC. The CCP is tyrannical toward those they rule; we plainly see this reality from our perch of liberty. However, unless the Chinese people recognize the tyrannical nature of the CCP, they'll continue receiving oppression. Making this realization harder is the PRC's surveillance apparatus and the population's indoctrination. I wish them luck.

If a malicious user gained access to your machine, how SSH is configured isn't interesting. If you use that machine to connect to other machines, the attacker will be able to as well, regardless of how SSH was configured at the time.

Heck, the attacker prefers a certain SSH config, the attacker could just change it. Even if you disabled the feature at compile time, the attacker could just replace the SSH command in your shell with their preferred version.

This is just disabling useful features to maybe cause minor inconvenience. I find it about as interesting as telling someone to pull out the power cord of their monitor to increase security of their login prompt screen.

Storing secrets in env vars is very common in practice, although it presents a slightly bigger attack surface than using something like Hashicorp's Vault to just pull the secrets into memory.

You can sometimes find debug pages etc for apps and runtimes set up that will show all set environment variables, or have crash monitoring software that will capture env vars and send them elsewhere by default. Those risks can be managed, but having sensitive information not set in the process environment is more 'secure by default'. It also means in the event that someone finds a way to remotely execute code in your process (eval() on an unsantized input, anyone?) it's much harder to dump out secrets.

"Every day {bad thing} happens due to {list of things that aren't pesticide use} therefore pesticides should be banned."

This is embarrassing. It's like arguing against wind power because wind turbines are held down by cement, and making cement releases CO2.

If people didn't use pesticides, yields would go way, way, way down, and more land would have to be used for intensive farming to produce the same amount of food. So you are basically arguing for pesticide use in your argument against pesticides.

So from what you've said, your company teaches their employees to be worthless in the job marketplace, thus having lower earning potential.

This is a good overview of how it all works. On some systems like AmigaOS, there is no libc at all, for example standard input / output is handled by the dos.library in ROM. compiler-specific implementation is delivered as libc.a, which means that only static linking with libc is possible. UNIX®️ software cannot be compiled at all without modification and without having the 3rd party ixemul.library downloaded from "AmiNet" and installed in the LIBS: assign (which usually resolves to SYS:LIBS, which in turn usually resolves to either DF0:LIBS or DH0:LIBS).

The really damning part is that it applies even for processors that are supposedly fixed in silicon because Intel dropped the ball by playing wack-a-mole with proof of concept exploits instead of thoroughly building their chips with security in mind.

If the history of Microsoft and Windows security is any indication, it'll take Intel many many years to turn that ship around.

There's a question of whether AMD has been mostly unaffected only because their chips haven't received as much scrutiny, but for the time being it does seem that if you care about security, you'd better go with Epyc.

So Intel failed to mitigate the vulnerability when it was first reported. Then they extended the embargo from May until November.

And they still didn't fix it.

What's going on with Intel?
Like they're going all in with lying in benchmarks against AMD and straight up forgetting what has been reported as security issues.
We use AWS, and one benefit of their hosted ElasticSearch is that they can build you a lambda that syncs Cloudwatch logs to ES, handling a variety of different formats. So we have our beanstalk web requests + some lambda infra + our main web backend etc. all synced to ES with very little effort.

You do have the downside that they don’t have eg nicely synced structure, but that also has the upside that the structure is closer to what the dev is used to so nobody ever needs to go back to CloudWatch or any other logs to get more details or a less processed message. The other downside is you have to write a different monitor for each index, though this has the upside that you can also have different triggers per index. In our small team we just message different slack channels which makes for a nice lightweight opt in/out for each error type.

It’d definitely be tricky to get everything aligned in eg the same JSON format, but this sort of middle ground isn’t too hard and still has benefits - you just need to be already syncing in any format to CloudWatch - which if you’re in AWS you probably are.
That’s “far” by local standards (I can be two countries over).
It’s not that people are used to slow stuff, even if they are. It’s that there is a psychological “magic number” whereby something is short enough to seem instant.

> "Politics is a set of activities associated with the governance of a country or an area. It involves making decisions that apply to group of members" - Wikipedia

And thus, an office in which this "set of activities" is not permitted is an apolitical office.

> An office can never be an apolitical entity, given that it involves the organisation of people and decision making about their activities, AND that office necessarily interacts with wider society which is unavoidably a political area.

I think you're failing to distinguish between an apolitical office, and the company being an "apolitical entity". A company of any significant size is going to end up interacting with politicians. But this does not mean that its offices cannot be apolitical spaces. I do not know why you seem to insist that this is the case. All that is necessary for an office to be an apolitical space is to make political activity off limits in the office.

> When you think about it, it's really quite baffling that people can think they can spend almost 30% of their waking life within some system that is devoid of political relevance. Life is political. Society is political. What you do in your work and career is one of the most politically impactful parts of a persons life.

Life and society are indeed political. Sure, some people may want to bring politics into the 30% of their lives that they spend in the office. But plenty of other people are happier when a company has employees use the 70% that is spent outside of the office.

> To be generous, treating the workplace as devoid of politics is just support of the status-quo.

For the fourth time, absence of a political view is not the support of any view. This is a toxic "you're with us or you're against us" mentality and it's exactly this kind of thing that people are sick of hearing from their co-workers.

> Given that many people are socialists and want to live in a society where say, Education, is a public good and managed by public institutions, then simply maintaining private educational institutions is intervening in the "political process" of others.

And in an apolitical office they are free to organize activism to push politicians towards achieving those ends - during the 70% of the time they spend outside of work.

Maintaining an apolitical office is not an endorsement of the status quo or any other viewpoint. It prevents people who want to change the status quo from bringing their politics into the office, but also prevents those people who want to defend the status quo. The only thing is does is it makes people carry out their political activity in a space other than the office.

The problem is that you can turn around every generality you have said to be supportive of what I presume you're against. For example, why wouldn't "un-inhibited self-expression" include someone getting a tattoo of a swastika? (preemptively responding to an argument that said tattoo would diminish more self expression than it itself is: this depends on the makeup of society, tautologically).

> I will continue to practice the version where I tolerate you until you are intolerant, at which point we'll have a conversation, and at which point I am morally allowed to no longer tolerate you

Now apply that to my perspective here. I've judged that you're being intolerant. We're having that conversion, yet you're sticking to your intolerant viewpoint. So this means I no longer need to tolerate you, personally?

> if you instead treat tolerance as a treaty, it's self-reinforcing

Sure, but not in a good way. Framing it as a "treaty" implies a forceful ultimatum if it is broken. What you've actually created is a focal point of going after people that don't conform to your definition of tolerance.

> stop tolerating bigotry, but still extend the compassion and tolerance that I am able to to bigots.

This is another way of looking at it, closer to what I'm saying. Talking about "intolerance" in a vacuum doesn't really account for whether the magnitude is growing or diminishing - some tendency of de-escalation is required for things to settle out

The general consensus, at least around these parts, is that bigoted behavior is unacceptable. What's really under debate is when views (or even more tenuously, associations) are brought up by critics and reacted to as if they were actions. That tendency seems more akin to escalating aggression than resolving differences.
That's actually what I'm working on :)
