As soon as you have kids you recognize a pattern: Every car seat, stroller, high chair, and crib gets recalled. Every single one. The companies want to eliminate the secondary market for these products and they are damn good at it using lawyers. This is massive bullshit and it contributes to a massive waste stream. It is a big reason why having a family is so damned un-affordable. What if cars expired?

I used the same hand me down car seats for both my kids. I also bought one actual car seat of the larger variety at one point because the technology actually did improve some. The booster seats chap my hide--an uncomfortable hunk of plastic for a kid to sit on so I can be legally compliant but are a stone-cold bitch for the kid to sit on during long car rides. As soon as my kids looked big enough I tossed those booster seats in the trash where they belong.

It is all safety meddling by a bunch of busy-body twats who either have a profit motive or just enjoy authoritarianism. It is the same mindset that gave us Prohibition. Saving us from ourselves only to create a much bigger problem in the long run. How many times have we seen that play out? Alcohol (we sort of of fixed that one, yay), drugs (cartels--been to Mexico lately?), healthcare (the costs, my word!) , automobiles (how many more airbags do we need?), student loans (but everyone should be able to go to college and become debt slaves), housing bubble (everyone should be able to afford to buy their own home), you name it, the meddlers have wrecked it. I pretty much lay all of it at the feet of do-gooding Democrats, but I know that Republicans are equally to blame because they do it for banker profit motive reasons rather than misguided altruism.
True but omitting any challenge response means the master node can just push the info out without having to communicate with any of the child nodes. It's true it's basically just a reboot code but a cryptographically random number to a randomly chosen port is honestly a fairly safe choice Roku just got cosmically unlucky if the theory is correct.

I think you intentionally misunderstand my point or we're completely talking past each other. This case isn't about protocols just as much as it isn't about algorithms. The only relationship between this case and protocols is that in recent years some have taken to calling them APIs. No matter what the result of this case is, it will have no effect on protocols, just as it will have no effect on algorithms, or on bananas. From the perspective of copyright laws, these things are completely different categories, no matter what mental connections you can draw between them. I only bring up algorithm to help you understand that even though algorithms and programs have a similar relationship to that between protocols and code APIs, copyright law is not concerned with algorithms although it is with programs, so that same connection between protocols and code APIs is equally irrelevant to copyright law. But if you're not able to understand why programs are copyrighted but not algorithms, you won't be able to understand why code APIs could possibly be copyrighted but definitely not protocols.
I enjoyed this blog post. Julia does a great job of distilling an idea down with examples.

I am fairly comfortable with Linux as a user for things like understanding processes, ports, key files and utilities, etc. The way I understand how to model abstractions like containers is to know the various OS primitives like cgroups, changing root, network isolation. Once one sees how those pieces come together to create the container abstraction, they can be mapped to the system calls provided by the OS. Usually they also have utilities bundled (like `chroot`) to interface with those primitives as an operator.
"Illegal" apartments in converted warehouses are very common in Brooklyn. Supposedly, the city turns a blind eye to them. Once someone lives there, they can't be evicted, even if it's not a legal residence. So renovation works happen without a work permit.

At least, that's what my brother told me, who lived in such an apartment. It was an eccentric place, but everything seemed up-to-code.

There is a great book you should read called Treasure Islands[0]. It's equal parts fascinating and infuriating, and makes you realize the system has never been set up fairly.

Rich people have always had their own financial systems that are outside of, and one step ahead of, the regulations and rules the rest of us are subject to.

There are two dimensions here, one is the tax liability and the second is regulatory compliance.

Yes, the tax liability is significantly reduced when using offshore structures and I don't necessarily see this as a bad thing especially since an ultra-low corporate tax rate makes it possible to offer our customers services at a lower price than otherwise - I see this as a good thing.

The second is that regulatory compliance is much, much, much easier especially when working in industries like finance, insurance, or crypto. The flexibility and clarity of the regulatory climate in offshore jurisdictions is a huge advantage as it makes it possible for us to focus on doing business rather than narrowly tiptoeing an arbitrary and complex regulatory line as is the case in "home" jurisdictions like the US or the EU. This is further compounded when you have a distributed workforce located in various jurisdictions (which sometimes changes on a week-to-week basis).

> Most of the ocean is just dead water with nothing in it.

You're closer to life than you would be when you're on any other planet than Earth.

> But even there getting the resources that you theoretically have is not easy - electrolysis is like charging a battery - you don't get ANY energy from it, because you would need the oxygen, and hydrogen needs oxygen to react with

I'm aware of how thermodynamics work, and I bring it up because our nuclear submarines rely on electrolysis to generate oxygen so that they don't have to resurface for long periods of time.

They just release their hydrogen as waste gas, though.

> Compare it to Mars - you get sunlight for crops

There is barely an atmosphere on Mars.

> you get it for solar panels

You can capture wind, solar, tidal or geothermal energy while sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

> There is water on Mars as we know now, so you can use it while also having easier time building

There is a incredibly small amount of water on Mars. Meanwhile in the ocean, you're surrounded by it.

I don't think the bottom of the ocean would be a good place to survive an extinction event, because there are plenty of places on the surface or beneath the surface that are better suited.

I use the bottom of the ocean as an example because it is Earth, our home, yet we still have an extremely difficult time surviving in it. Despite that, it is infinitely more livable than any other planet in our solar system.

I thought it was pretty clear. They had already developed a Sonic Wall VPN exploit. They used zmap to scan for vulnerable devices then grepped the hostnames for "bank". When they exploited the VPN it gave them the whole network.

I agree, and the solution to this problem is to forbid filenames with spaces. The convenience of make and similar tools is much more important than spaces in filenames. File names with spaces should not be allowed in modern filesystems. When the user types a filename with spaces, the GUI should encode the space as a non-breaking space character, that does not cause havoc in scripts.

Make is great as a dependency resolution engine.

For everything else, it is absolutely horrible.

What I typically do is use make only for what it is good: as a dependency resolution back-end.

All the build logic for my projects is written in Python, in an executable file stored in the project root directory and called "make" (I have "." in my PATH).

The Python script, when it runs, generates on the fly a clean, lean, readable, unrolled, Makefile and feeds it directly to /usr/bin/make via a pipe.

Works like a charm:

Python (a sane and expressive programing language) to express the high-level logic needed to build the project.

Make as a solid back-end to solve the "what needs to be rebuilt" problem (especially the parallel version with -jXX)

Applying the tool on your codebase should be easy. For us, using the Clang Compilation Database format, that already holds all configurations to build a project was of great value for faster C and C++ project setup.

You cannot convince developers to use a tool with just words. They need to experience the benefits first hand. And getting to the benefits should happen as fast as possible after starting to test the tool.
Have you tried in-ear variants like the bose qc20? I have no problems with them for long periods of time.

Also, as other users have pointed out, noise-canceling just counteracts constant noise like machine hums, and the like. It won't do anything about human speech because it 1.v aries constantly and 2. takes place across a large spectrum of sound. Noise-canceling headphones can adapt but it's always going to lag behind speech or other non-constant sounds like ringtones.

The only recourse there is to use noise-canceling + blast music/pink noise/rain sounds, whatever.
Access is the big one, risk-averse because of being burned in the past. Even missing a single payment means 25% APR+late fees, so likely to not put everyday expenses on credit.

> Either that journalism is accurate or it isn't. If it's wrong they should issue a correction, or review how it could be misleading or slanted and offer an alternate perspective. If it's correct they should stand by it.

Why should a response or dialogue have to be in print? And why should a company's defense be limited to asynchronous communication? Debate is an accepted and effective dispute resolution framework, especially in areas where truth or fairness may be nuanced and is far from black and white. (Tax policy is a perfect example that is both nebulous and politically charged.)

As arbiters and outers of wrongdoing, journalists play a critical role in speaking truth to power and holding parties to account. This does not absolve them from publicly defending their positions, or being challenged on them, however. FedEx is well within their rights in responding in whatever manner they see fit, same as NYT can agree or reject the challenge.

Debate certainly ups the ante for all involved and is an interesting escalation tactic in the current media landscape.
Most companies don’t even have an up to date security model for this types of things. IOT very likely requires very flexible but strict row level security on ALL applications. Security should probably be on the data layer but that’s easy to say hard to do. Interesting problem though.
I do live near the great lakes, but my comment about not worth optimizing is really just that as a percentage of global water usage toilets are tiny (compared to agricultural and industrial. Agricultural is 80-90% in the states for instance). Optimization only really makes much sense where locally that is false.

There are definitely plenty of deserts in the world though, so it's not much of a nitpick.
Dropping into the conversation late, to say that this is right - but - the danger is that Google controls the defacto browser and defacto web standards as well as search, and yes a large chunk of email, the biggest video hosting service and mobile operating system! So in reality I think the open standards will erode in practical terms to be Google standards over time, unless something is actively done to prevent that.
C) The early wave that seems to have been most targeted was early signups that included big sales on 2 and 3-year prepurchases. Risk/reward balance on stealing those accounts must have been hugely tempting.
From what I read the hack was not sophisticated at all. If they had decent endpoint protection this would not have happened. Maybe they disabled defender after the initial access and privesc because defender blocks Get-Keystrokes and other things in empire,even with significant modification.

Anyway, I don't care about the hacktivism and propaganda (don't really get it -- tbh,rich people bad/corrupt?) But would very much be interested in any post-incident analysis of what happend.

But here's what stands out to me: they're talking about using empire and hvnc. Empire is by design detectable,you could use the techniques in empire in your own malware though. Most rats and bots (take trickbot) let you sniff key strokes, run commands,etc... So I guess they used psexec or winrm to access the hosts(no vlan segmentation or firewall on endpoints!?). I ask all this because the specific MO is significantly different than what is seen with criminal actors and crimeware(like Carbank which She mentions). And to me, it does corroborate the story that this was likely an independent hacker motivated by hacktivism as opposed to a bigger conspiracy to burn some group and plant false records in the leak (which could still less likely be the case)

Very exciting,righteous hack.

But just as a controlling shareholder. I don't think they have any input or say on Hulu's operation besides the typical influence you can exert as a board member even when it's from a vote controlling position. I may be wrong but I doubt they can use Hulu's streaming technology or IP in general unless they license it from Hulu somehow. If Hulu was an actual Disney subsidiary it would be different. Although Hulu is controlled by Disney, Comcast still owns a third part of it.

A few comments.

First of all, this is fine for a densely packed, growable "array" of things indexed by small integers. Think of things like a file descriptor table indexed by FD number and mapping to an open file handle. But this is not a generic hash table indexable by strings.

Second, the hard part here is that readers that have obtained an about-to-no-longer-be-current root need to be able to use it to completion, while writers of new roots need to be able to ensure the eventual freeing of old roots when no readers remain who have a live reference to an old root. This is particularly tricky to get right -- it's the sort of thing that in the Linux kernel gets done with RCU, but RCU in userland is not portable. That's not to say that there aren't solutions. I've implemented something like just that piece with a generic API in[0].

Yes this is a problem in Rust-land too. crates.io doesn't support user tokens to be limited to a crate only [1], but gives access to all the crates an user has access to. So if the token leaks, attackers have access to all your crates. For the cpal crate we worked around the issue by creating a new github user that has only access to the cpal crate (and maybe in the future a few other crates in the same org) but nothing more [2]. This solution isn't really good tho.

At some point it converges to some constant probability. The probability of providing an "almost impossible" - say $9^^^^9 - is almost precisely equal to the probability of providing $9^^^^9+1. This is because any mechanism that can provide the first can also provide the second.

Technically one will be a subset of the other but it will be like the sum of an infinite series where the differences are so small that there is a limiting asymptotic on the value of the sum is 0. The probability will converge to the value of "probability an entity can provide arbitrary compensation".
I could also edit live on my production server and the result would be the same: a website.

I'm not saying that modern stacks aren't more complicated than they need, but I use a React frontend, a React-Native app, silly microservices, a non-trivial git strategy, non-trivial Trello steps, security scans, automated deployment via CircleCI and yet release multiple times a day.

The biggest difference is that deployment always works, always passes tests, does not depends on who deploys, rollbacks automatically if healthchecks fail... You know, the sort of stuff that "reduces defects", "builds quality in", "fails fast" and all sort of concepts that people way smarter than us, working in industry way more mature than ours, have been elaborating for decades

I’ve found that my ability to tune out office noise is much lower after nights of poor sleep. So I think it takes active work to ignore it, when you notice it, and stay on task. The metaphor I’d use is it’s the act of shoving that information out of the way.
examine.com is the first organic search result I get for "supplemental vitamin d sleep". Maybe the results are hit-or-miss depending on the subtopic (or Google re-tuned the algorithm in the intervening 3 months).

Having lived in the UK, I'm convinced that the real reason for Brexit is to preserve these offshore tax havens from any meddling by EU regulations.

It's not an accident that Brexit suddenly became crucially important to the Conservative Party only when the EU developed a new interest in unified financial regulations after all the turmoil of 2008-2011.
