Excellent post. Since you took the time to write it, some advice:

When you have been in the field for many more years, you will hopefully come to see that there are an infinite variety of gradations between people's skills, interests, capabilities, weaknesses, and that all are contextual, circumstantial. Formative time in the competitive crunch of youthful academia being distilled into a number, comparing our numbers with each other, seeing higher numbers are better, calling them "smarter," etc. That creates an illusion, one nearing obsolescence. There is no "smarter." People, and the world, are three dimensional, not one. And everyone has a narrow band in which they can be a superstar, with luck generally dictating whether one gets to spend time there.

Re: one specific activity you mention- "reading technical books/articles..."- there is a BIG difference between "consuming" activities and "producing" activities. Consumption produces certain kinds of growth that can be exhibited in conversation, in context, but is not directly measurable as output. If it motivates you to work on changing your behavior, instead of reading every night, write instead. Find your voice. Build the capability for technical storytelling. If it is not presently a skill, it will at first be awful, and hard. But with practice you may find yourself with a habit that produces several pieces a week. To a first approximation, that's usually all there is about what you are seeing- someone who writes rather than reads.

Be well!

In Japan a single event wiped out most of their nuclear power for a decade. Plus it added a nuclear site where people under very difficult conditions struggle to control and clean up a few melted-down reactors for several decades...

I can't see that kind of Nuclear as a viable option for Japan.

But how can it be faked? You can upload a fake FB account but it's new. Country X can say 'that account wasn't there 2 years ago'. Nor can agencies set up fake accounts over time as they need to know the faces of future spies to create their fake front over time and that's not possible unless you choose spies from birth.

>but this often does more to hurt low-resource users than brute force also.

1MB memory usage would not hurt most of the low-resource users while having 1MB memory for each of the millions of computational units in a brute-force rig would hurt the attacker a lot more. I assume that it is relatively easy to have a huge number of brute-force cracking units in a simple GPU/FPGA/ASIC rig but if each of them would additionally need lets say 1MB of RAM that would present a serious problem for the constructor of such rig.

I do get that AES will happily run on a 20-year old smart-card simplified cpu without a problem while my fictional 1meg-requiring cipher would be problematic, but then again it's 2019 and 1MB is not that of a problem for the least powerful smartphones or even embedded systems.

I've seen the current national debt situation compared to the U.S. national debt situation following WW2 a number of times (e.g., national debt to GDP ratios), but there is a key difference between now and the past: past episodes of rapid national debt increases were limited to only a very few years and the government then moved to reduce debt. For example, most of the expenses related to WW2 occurred in under a decade and the national government immediately started taking measures to start paying it off. Instead of taking measures to reduce our national debt, the federal government currently is actually increasing it to the tune of a trillion dollars a year in an economy that's only approximately 20 trillion (GDP). People hear the word "deficit" and they think that means "national debt" when in fact the deficit is how much is being added to the national debt each year. Politicians never talk about reducing debt - only reducing the deficit. Do you think Congress or either party has the self discipline to eliminate the deficit entirely and to actually meaningfully reduce the actual debt? It will be a lot more painful if they do that during an inflationary crisis than today. (If you aren't familiar with it, look up the Misery Index and talk to someone who dealt with the inflation in the 1970s.)

What's actually happening currently is that the Fed is monetizing a larger and larger part of the debt as (1) other nations are reaching the limit of how much they will put into US gov bond purchases and/or even starting to plan to scale back their purchases in future years, and (2) the deficit continues to grow.

As Milton Friedman pointed out, inflation is always a monetary phenomenon. There are a number of deflationary forces at play as well, but these types of inflationary forces seem to be stronger - and hyperinflation doesn't seem as far fetched as it used to.
The whole article is weird for barely mentioning compartmentalization as a standard intelligence approach (they mention as a few things but as innovations). And for speaking as if the programs that they knew about were all that was happening.

That said, the compromised database was from a civilian, non-intelligence agency. Of course, logically, CIA agents shouldn't have been in that database but it seems they were.

And the other thing is that you have CIA, NSA etc working hard to spy on everyone but none of them were willing and able to keep the larger Federal Government from having terrible security practices. Which comes from the intelligence agencies being more about catching people and learning secrets than about protecting the US as such.
I use Sublime as my code editor. Anything that I need to save as a code snippet goes into its own Snippets project. That way, I can organize it easily and open up the project whenever I need it. No separate application necessary since Sublime is already editing my code anyways.
The bigger problem is that this article says nothing—it is merely an announcement of an announcement:

we now believe at this time, and this evidence will be released over the next week, that Wyze was committing espionage against American citizens in the United States

That somebody "now believes something at this time and this evidence will be released over the next week" doesn't come close to being a substantive submission for Hacker News. Here we can wait for the actual information. "Over the next week" sounds like they plan to dole it out in pieces though, which is also not good for Hacker News. (Tricks to get page views generally aren't.)

If it's a big company, couldn't he also get ahead of the story to protect himself and announce the breach via Medium or reaching out to media?

I mean the company already threw him under the bus, might as well transition from 'possible hacker' to 'whistleblower'. People tend to look more favorably on whistleblowers.

But IANAL, so YMMV and what not.

Edit: I'm betting the CEO would rather NOT be known for a data breach, and get that publicity. So it might be a good bartering place for getting a good 'written' recommendation, and some sort of assurance that the CEO if contacted will stick to what he said in the recommendation and not paint the ex-employee in a negative light. Not sure if there's a legal contract for this sort of exchange - but there probably is.
Google ReCAPTCHA, back when it was about OCR'ing books, has apparently made that mistake with pom.xml --- no surprise, I bet 99% of people who saw a CAPTCHA saying "pom" thought it said "porn".

This was my initial reaction too. Ideally popular code snippets should be published in a library or tool, which can be versioned and distributed easily...

But in reality the overhead of creating and maintaining a library/tool/package can be enormous, for relatively small gains in re-usability (see: https://xkcd.com/1205/).

This snippet library seems more like a step before creating a library, kind of like note taking apps are a step before blog posts or publications.

I think you could still use this and be a good programmer.

There are numerous reasons.

- The simplest but least likely is money. Reselling some portions of the data or even running it as a "Go Fish" service is immensely valuable.

- The more likely scenario is an enemy of my enemy situation where the value of screwing up US operations is useful to a) show you have the power or b) build a more amicable relationship with Russia.

But realistically, all of that was probably unnecessary. Google Robin Sage and check out how much sensitive information people share entirely by accident OR that is not sensitive by itself but when combined with other aspects can become weaponized.

That's why whenever anyone says "none of this data was classified!" it's an almost meaningless statement. None of us understand what missing puzzle piece will put it all together.

Or they could you know not blackmail the city into not raising its taxes. This is hugely cynical PR move on its part. Everyone know any one of the top 5 could solve homelessness in their cities if they actually cared about it. Arguing differently is just being needlessly Naive. Yes, we are all literally working nihilistic inhumane entities.
I think this is a terrible move.

Shelters are NOT a solution to homelessness. This move will give Amazon false bragging rights to say, hey look, our operational style, not paying taxes, and lobbying for a society that punishes the poor more than the rich aren't really that bad because we're helping the homeless.

Even if Amazon is able to put every homeless person in the United States in a shelter (they certainly can afford it), that would not be a good thing.

That is validating a bifurcated system where we become content with the living conditions of the poor while excusing those who create the system that creates those conditions in the first place (Amazon in this case)

Oh, but it gets even better. I worked in intelligence back in the 80s, so when the OPM hack happened I figured my records were safe - after all, we didn't have a lot of computer storage back then, so my records were all on microfiche and stored in a rusted out filing cabinet in some dank basement, nobody would be so stupid as to scan all of those old records into a computer and put it on the internet, right? Imagine my surprise when I got one of those letters stating that all my records had been compromised... sheer genius.

I don't see any solution to this type of problem ever, aside from creating a paradigm where countries can trust each other and their citizens. At the rate we are currently going we might actually be more likely to have some kind of human extinction event before that happens.

It's strange that no one even mentions the possibility of a paradigm like that though.

> With such approach, the fake profiles would have to be created with many years advance to succeed.

That's called building a legend and YES, the intelligence agencies have been doing it for years. But more importantly, in professional networks (mostly LinkedIn) generally you wouldn't have to. Most people don't use it the same way as Facebook or Twitter with regular updates and it doesn't show others when you connected so if you create a profile and fill in details, the system takes care of most of the rest.

The most likely place that would leak the age of the profile is whatever internal profile id that might be embedded in the urls or the page itself. If it's too high, it would be more recent than claimed.

Here are some of the details you can explore:

For vehicles, “1.13 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled”

and

“Airline accidents per one million miles flown came in at a rate of 0.0035.”

So with an equal denominator, 0.35 vs 1.13. So if you're in the top 20% of safest drivers, which is not hard to reach considering all the idiots out there, you are safer driving.

From what I've read, the placebo effect is still mysterious, and the only place where it is consistently found to help is in pain perception. Outside of this, there are some studies which show improvements in placebo when compared to no treatment, but other studies ([1][2][3]) find no improvement or only perceived improvement - e.g. the patient feels that they slept better, but in fact they slept the same amount and it took them just as long to get to sleep.

So, overall, it's not clear whether the placebo effect is a real effect that placebos have on patient health, or whether it is an artifact in the data, e.g. due to reporting errors, especially in studies which are not double blind (where the researcher may be biased themselves in the way they are collecting the data). There are also many studies which compare an active substance to a placebo treatment but have no data about patient response under no treatment, which is itself not necessarily 0 [2].

Edit: added a [3] that is explicitly about insomnia - placebo was found to improve subjective perception of sleep quality, but not objective measures (sleep onset latency).
