I attempted to use a Yubikey with GitHub, but when I tried to enable it, Windows gave me an on-screen "soft" 2F dialog instead of making any use of the device at all.

Seems related to something called "Hello"? Either way, I haven't found a way to disable it. Caveat emptor.

on the lighter side, I do a lot of cooking and I always laugh when I visit a baking website and I get a popup that warns me about the cookie policy. Because of the context, my brain first goes to "I wonder what the recipe is for those cookies."
Well, I'd say the rule should be upgraded as zero/one/small-sample/expand-for-infinity, at least for user interfaces (not for coding, although doing it for coding is what lazy evaluation is for).
> Want to store logs? Now you need to make sure you're scrubbing any type of personal information from the logs.

What?! I'm not allowed to store my users name, address and credit card number in my unencrypted syslogs anymore? HOW DARE THEY, THOSE DAMN BEUROCRATS!

Seriously though, while there are problems (like IP address being considered personal information, which they really aren't), the general idea is very positive. You shouldn't be able to store just any information of a person that only gave you this data for a specific purpose. Servers do get hacked, employees do abuse their access to systems and old hardware doesn't always get disposed of properly.

When I'm done using a service, I want my data gone from their servers ASAP, no buts.
Sorry. Time machine problems. Should be fixed now. :)

Article 6 establishes lawful purposes for data processing that do not require consent from the data subject. All other provisions of the GDPR (including, but not limited to, the maximum time you are allowed to hold the data) apply, since it is still Personal Data. The only way to avoid having to deal with GDPR entirely is to collect absolutely no Personal Data, which is almost impossible unless your web server has no logs.

This is an intriguing effort. When I was doing iOS development, I used both AutoLayout and the ASCII-art constraints.

The whole time I was doing it, I wondered why I couldn't just use CSS.

It seems that every UI toolkit has a different method. And every one that I've worked with makes me wonder why they don't just use CSS.
That's not interesting, because the Bible is a work of fiction, and thus not relevant to any discussions of scientific merit.
Why would you want to attack an American newspaper which actually pays journalists to research and present stories for free in a time when the US media is full of horrible paid propaganda? Journalists are being murdered around the world right now, Facebook and large tech conglomerates are destroying Western journalism yet you are upset because an old school newspaper does not "comply with your law?" Fuck your European arrogance, you can keep your views...they owe you nothing. Pay for a subscription, then you can complain.
"Highly upvoted but few replies" is actually a good quality indication; it means there's not much to quibble with and the post is well explained. That's why HN applies a "flameware" penalty to highly commented posts.

> which is personal information under GDPR

Not exactly; it's up to the judges to decide whether IP addresses count as personal information as defined by the GDPR (in my opinion they're not, but I can see why one would think differently), so the flaw isn't as much inherent to the GDPR as to the fact that people just don't understand the internet.

> the [US] state can deputize any [US-incorporated] company to snitch

FTFY. I don't believe they have the same legal authorities to compel companies incorporated outside of their country jurisdiction to do the same, correct me if I'm wrong. This isn't the same as a sharing agreement done as a diplomatic quid-pro-quo however, which I'm sure also happens.
My experience with home-rolled solutions suggests there are plenty of hidden costs. Got a new project, and want to spin up some experimental servers? Gotta wade through a bunch of IT guys. Documentation and training around Azure, etc is also going to be better than homegrown alternatives, most likely. Things like that.

It’s hard to put a monetary figure on the frictions costs, but they are there.
No it isn't. There was a petition to make it a specific offence ( https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200372 ). However, the Government responded by pointing out that one of the seven principles of public life is "Holders of public office should be truthful." There don't appear to be any legal consequences for not upholding that or any of the other six principles. There is an offence of Misconduct in Public Office ( https://www.cps.gov.uk/legal-guidance/misconduct-public-offi... ), in which dishonesty is mentioned, but only in the context of fraud and similar behaviour.

> Isn't it should have root/admin privieleges to do such thing?

There are a lot of networks out there with fileshares configured far more permissively than they should be. Additionally, if the malware infects a machine that has cached domain admin credentials stored on it, it can use those to authenticate to the rest of the network and own the entire domain.

Yes, if best practice is followed, these tactics wouldn't work. Best practice is not always followed.
This is a very confusing conversation with a lot of ambiguous referents.

I think Scott's theory, as outlined in the OP, is for why the sorts of practices closeparen listed (KPI's etc) won't work well, will have problems. Scott does not advocate for them, but against them.

Whereas closeparen's comment may have implied the opposite. I'm not sure if it's (eg) "KPIs" or "mushy human judgement" you are calling a "tired, old, worst practice".

I don't understand how that is a meaningful definition of overhead. Overhead is money that is not being spent on salaries and goods that directly impact outcomes. Therefore cheaper outcomes always imply lower overhead.

Democracy works great when people know what they're talking about. But sometimes they're "educated" by mass media and "scarecrows". They bring arguments like "we shouldn't even try, it definitely can't work" (without real knowledge and proof) or "we can't invest in this because we already invest in that" (as if investments in parallel research is unheard of). It's when you get to see the downsides of democracy and it's how democratic systems elect populist leaders not because they are better.

In the mean time (tens of) billions of Euros are spent on projects where some still have no end in sight (Stuttgart 21; Berlin Brandenburg Airport; Elbphilarmonie) but that's an easier sell because they look fancy.

Nuclear research of any kind has a massive stigma associated to the label. Since most people's "education" related to nuclear power is "Chernobyl and Fukushima" politicians will become populists and won't risk their cozy seat. If all your education about flying machines was "Hindenburg" you'd walk.

At least the writer understands incentives:

Since California passed Proposition 13 in 1978, property tax rates for those San Franciscans who owned property back then have been severely capped. Owners may pay Nixon-era property tax rates, while renting out those spaces at rates that have exploded in the last 40 years. They, too, can afford to let buildings sit empty.

There have also been vacancy taxes proposed: https://reason.com/2019/12/10/san-francisco-ballot-measure-w..., but Prop 13 reform would seem to be the more obvious route.
>People get prosecuted for having lied on a resume...why is a politician allowed to stay in the "system" after having just lied on facts and numbers?

Because politics is not an industry, it's the unique dynamic of ruling and power. In this case: the politician is allowed to stay in the system because he enjoys enough political support, either by the public or through other key supporters.

This seems like a good opportunity to refer to CGP Greys "the rules for rulers": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs

The characters in the book discuss the symbolism of her name. She goes by "Jessie" because she does not want to identify with Jezebel.

Apparently some commenters here would have us believe that if there's a highly emotional woman, it's because the author hates women. Jezebel's/Jessie's husband and main character of Caves of Steel, Elijah, is himself kind of an anxious headstrong type who's wrong more often than he's right. Of course, this indicates with high certainty that Asimov also hates men.

Edit: Also worth noting that Bliss/Gaia in Foundation is pretty much the most powerful character in the Foundation universe. Mayor Branno, woman mayor of the First Foundation, is also revered as an incredibly capable and bold leader by all accounts.

Edit 2: And not to mention the young girl taken from Solaria, who is the only character to potentially rival Bliss. What a laughable claim that all the women in Asimov’s stories are weak or hysterical.

I'm not sure this is true? I know Azure/MS was way better with sending someone to contact my team (as well as other larger corporations I got to talk to) to figure out a type of partnership with us and determine the level of support we'd need. I don't think Amazon being a competitor is really considered for most cos, either.

I don't think there's some latent distrust of AWS or that people really equate Windows being good means Azure is good - I think it's known Amazon has top tier support, really great reliability and security (like Azure), as well as seemingly the best selection.

GCP for example isn't even in the running for most people even though I'd say Google is probably considered the 'brainiest' tech co.

> South Korea and Japan have developed much more rapidly than many Asian countries, despite many others adopting relatively free “Washington Consensus”-style trade policies.

> Life expectancy in Hong Kong is 84.23 years, more than five years longer than the US and the highest in the world. Hong Kong is not that wealthy (median household income is $38,000 USD); it’s somewhat polluted; people don’t obviously eat what seems like a healthy diet; and they don’t seem to exercise a great deal. What should we learn from this?

We should learn that Hong Kong is probably a smaller territory so any of its "average" metrics has a higher chance of being an outlier, out of sheer randomness.
Now you have to ask yourself how many times in your life you had this exact problem. And if you did have this problem how big of a deal is it for your quality of life.

To be fair, I had this problem learning Rails too. I like knowing how and why something works, and so the "it just does this because that's the convention for Rails" was confusing and annoying rather than helpful, and trying to dig into the Rails code base to work out why was pointless.

Part of the reason I love Go is because there's no magic. I can look at the definition of a std lib function and it's right there, in plain code, and makes sense.

But despite Go being simpler than Rails (for this reason), I'm not sure that any given Go project is simpler than any given Rails project. The moving parts are more obscure, definitely, but I'm not sure there are more of them or that they're providing more complexity.

A really cool demo would have been to show off this laptop form factor by using Linux with a tiling window manager such as i3wm.

Unfortunately, Lenovo seems to be quite a bit behind the likes of Dell, System76, Pureism, etc in creating developer editions (read: shipped with Linux).

Some of them are probably fully automated, at least the process of the ransomware trying to grab any locally available credentials to touch as many servers as it can. These are probably the smaller dollar value attacks.

It sounds like this attack was by a more sophisticated group that compromised some initial system in that way, and then somebody actually went in to explore and determine how to spread the compromise around further. It seems to be difficult indeed even for large and sophisticated companies to defend against these types of attacks. Since somebody, or a team of people, has to do most of the compromising manually, they naturally demand higher ransoms.

That said, Firefox is definitely doing what they can to make users keep auto updates on.
