I remember the disappointment and discussions of people when Amazon announced the deprecation of the S3 "path-style" hosting in favor of supporting only "virtual-host" style hosting. It was about the same concern (ISPs being able to see which static S3-hosted sites are visited). The discussion even lead to a small change of the AWS S3 roadmap.

I've participated in many such charity fun runs and see no problem with this type of arrangement. It takes a lot of work and experience to host successful running events: registration, insurance, web site development, course marking, permits, aid stations, timing, t-shirts, clean up, etc. It's worth paying an event management company to ensure everything runs smoothly. Shop around and you might find a smaller local company willing to do it for a lower price.

In the end the charity still gets more money than they had before and the runners get some exercise: win / win. Plus you've raised awareness of the cause and some participants will go on the become regular donors.
the self-reference gags can be pretty good. There's a little aside somewhere in REAMDE where developers are wondering about google earth: "oh, wasn't it inspired by some old sci-fi book?"
They are imaging the flashes as the relativistic particles slam into our atmosphere. No atmosphere, no flash.

Excited by the new release. I learned a little bit of Guile for scripting in Make, and I dig it.

It's a little hard to include in my own designs though, as much as I'd like to do it. If I had a wish-list, it would be:

- Make some of the dependencies (especially libgc) internal.

- Reduce the installed size.

- Consider adding a license exception that allows using Guile without inheriting GPLv3's Installation Instructions requirement, which prevents inclusion on a lot of commercial products (even as a standalone program for running scripts).

The Guile team is doing great work, and I'll enjoy trying out 3.0 once it hits my distro packages. I just wish that it slotted better into more systems.

There's some humor in the idea that Guile started out with the stated goal of being a Tcl killer. Years later, a Guile install is almost 8 times the size of a Tcl install and it introduces significant external dependencies. The licensing is also worse for inclusion in larger systems.
Consumption of a near 0% fat cheese called Skyr has historically been high since the 11th century in Iceland. I do wonder if that may have had a role to play in our high average age expectancy.

Sadly our traditional food culture of Skyr, lean grass fed sheep and plenty of fish has given way to a more Americanized fast food culture. So it wouldn't surprise me if our averages will start trending downwards in a generation or two.
So, it sounds like (please correct me if I misunderstood something) the issue is:

# cache signing objects and get chain
cache, chain = parse_chain_from_cert(full_cert)

root = chain[-1]
validate_root_authenticity(root)

# go up chain from leaf to the root
for cert in chain[:-1]:
parent = cert.parent()

# Wrong Signing object retrieved here:
signing_object = cache[parent.public_key]
signing_object.validate(cert)

So the leaf signing object is used instead of the roots, as they share the same public key, but that doesn't contain the parameters of the curve.
The problem is that the site didn't collect the data because they wanted to, they did it because the law requires it. GDPR (and presumably equivalent privacy regulations) explicitly has an exemption for data you are legally required to keep.

Regarding fines, they wouldn't undo the damage of the leak either. I don't think this kind of leak can be mitigated with any amount of money, short of giving all the people involved a new identity and forcing them to start a new life somewhere else (and even then, they can still be recognised by their physical appearance).
It's possible, although it's kind of tricky to use in practice.

From the Vantablack wikipedia article:

When light strikes Vantablack, instead of bouncing off, it becomes trapped and is continually deflected amongst the tubes, eventually becoming absorbed and dissipating into heat.[7]

Dealing with heat in space isn't easy, since you have no air to dissipate heat into.
Because cherenkov radiation is only observable in a transparent medium like air or water. Space doesn't work because the speed of light in space equals the speed of light in vacuum, therefore no cherenkov radiation.
Damn. Everyone here seems to advise you to just protect your own ass as a top priority. Is that a product of US work culture?

If you where in a sound organisation, which I would say most Swedish IT organisations are, you need to think about the company and the clients first.

Someone advised you to: “don’t do anything until explicitly asked to”. I think that’s just bad advise. You obviously know this is a major problem and risk. You also have some ideas about how to proceeds in mitigating and solving it. You should jump at the chance to help your company with this. Highlight this directly to your managers, talk with as many as you can, gather the information you need, get the approvals, and fixed the problem ASAP or find someone who can.

Your clients and customers might be badly affected when hell breaks loose.

I think anyone advising being passive, or plainly hiding from the problem, is totally wrong. Those are not the kind of colleagues I would want.

Get to work.
If it were as bright as the moon but visually a point source, would it be safe to look at with the naked eye?
Perhaps you've not come across the idea of cross-platform development?

I have a large fairly successful cross-platform program that does a hell of a lot. All of our interactions with the OS are wrapped, either by libstdc++ or by the portability library that we use.

We would never allow a direct call to mmap() from the main application code ... we don't even allow direct calls to most of the POSIX API since we have to run on Windows too (without WSL or whatever MS' current POSIX layer is).

"By some spelling" is precisely why almost all programmers are better off using "new X[N]" than mmap, unless you actually think that code like this is good:

#ifdef __APPLE__
#define LOCAL_HUGETLB 0
#else
#define LOCAL_HUGETLB MMAP_HUGETLB
#endif
...

mmap (..., foo|bar|LOCAL_HUGETLB)

This cannot be a serious suggestion regarding the recommended way to allocate memory.
I'll take this as an opportunity to plug some other RE tools:

IDA is considered the holy grail. A base version is free, but its most popular feature, the disassembler, is $$$. Does debugging and static analysis.

NSA's Ghidra is great too: https://ghidra-sre.org/. last time I checked I don't think it did debugging but they were adding it. It's great for static analysis though, it has a great free disassembler (traditionally IDA's domain).

Cheat Engine is pretty amazing too, despite the goofy name: https://www.cheatengine.org/. It's the best tool for pointer scans imo, but also does debugging and is scriptable. Popular for making video game trainers, but it can be used for anything.
It depends - coating on a low orbiting satellite needs to conform to various requirements:

- needs to survive vacuum

- needs to survive atomic oxygen, that does show up at low Earth orbital altitudes

- needs to handle the thermal cycling as the satellite goes in and out of Earths shadow

- needs to survive unfiltered sunlight without any atmospheric convection to normalize temperature

- needs to avoid overheating the part of the satellite it is covering

- should not emit particles, that could collide with other satellites

- needs to keeps doing this for about 5 years (design lifetime of individual Starlink satellites)

- should harmlessly burn up on satellite reantry

If the given material can do all the above, while still keeping it's desirable properties, then it can be used on a Starlink satellite. :)

Huh? It's about a book written by a Swede that was published in Swedish that gained popularity in Sweden.
Why would doing a marathon and pretending to do it for other reasons than doing a marathon be any different? The only reason separating endurance sports efforts "for charity" from a hypothetical "candy crush for charity" or "Netflix binge for charity" is that the athletic efforts apparently impress some potential donors. If the same is true for courage dares like fixed line parachuting then so be it.

An entirely orthogonal question is how event costs are funded: do participants pay out of their own pocket or is it taken from the donations pool? If it's the latter I'd call it borderline charity fraud, no matter if the activity is running, flaggelation, parachuting or smoking weed.

The usual compromise, I think, is clear separation between sponsors (who fund the event) and donors (whose money is given to charity with zero cut or expenses deduction). It's hard to find something to criticize in that model, if someone wants to sponsor entertainment, fine. If tens of thousands of sponsorship dollars yield tens of donation dollars, still fine: the assumption that the tens of thousands would have been donated otherwise cannot be made.

(it still might get muddy if that sponsorship somehow gets different tax treatment than other business expenses or if the main beneficiary of those costs, either as participant or as organizer, is the CEO or something like that but that's totally besides the question of parachuting vs endurance)

This is terrifying for the models. One of the worst leaks to date, surely?

But why would you want that we become a space-faring species, at all costs? There is not much interesting to find in space, compared to what we have on Earth (especially not close to us, and I do not see us getting out of the solar system for a long time). Perhaps you could argue that we might do asteroid mining at some point, but at the moment that's very far out of reach.
Ah, maybe I read that geological processes were ruled out rather than being the main driver
I run a B2B SAAS company (small but established). I like to be straight and honest and hopefully my advice will help. You are making the classic mistake of overspending time building stuff at this point. Here is why:

You have no paying customers yet. But you are going with a "horizontal process automation platform" which means you are very generic. When you are starting out, it is better to find one specific niche and go hard at it. If you get great at it, you can then expand slowly.

If you are selling to everyone, you sell to no one (unless you are amazon but that takes 2 decades). You need to get more specific about the immediate value your product brings and to which audience ? Every business technically can automate their processes. But are you really selling to every business ? 99.9% chance you will fail if you are not established already.

Few more things:

"platform that has the potential to adapt to a lot of different industries and company sizes with the goal to automate pretty much any business process".. You are just starting out. This wouldn't work for now. Get more specific. Think of one industry to start with and then expand slowly.

"5 signed pilot agreements (to start once we finish a couple of features)"..Sorry but the moment the contract is contingent upon features, it is in trouble. The customer should have seen enough value already even though I am not undermining it completely. This is risky for you. What if you are not able to convince the customer that those features are now delivered. How specific were those features ? I would count this as no customer yet. brutally honest.

Ok, now the good news:

You have a working product. That is awesome. STOP DOING ANY MORE CODING. It is time for sales and marketing like yesterday. What marketing and sales strategies do you have in place if any between you and your cofounder ? When you say "my co founder does sales", what does that mean ? Right now, you both need to focus on Sales and Marketing.

Sorry for the long post but this hits close to my heart being a bootstrapped SAAS founder so I thought to share my own experiences.

Outside a small percentage of fraudsters, having a Ph.D. in a subject is hard proof that one has devoted thousands of hours into said subject and has treaded a more or less established path, with at least a modicum of quality assurance from field experts. That doesn't automatically make someone an expert (depending on the definition of course), but it does indicate one can have a serious conversation on said subject with said individual. It also depends on the institution of course: I would place high confidence on someone with a Ph.D. from Princeton Physics, and less on someone with a Ph.D. from a no-name school/department.

With alternative scientists (I've seen many even when I was only a Ph.D. candidate -- some like to email an entire department at a time) there's simply no quality assurance whatsoever. You may review their work, but 99% of the time it's nonsense, so you probably don't want to waste time on the next one. And that's when you're qualified to review their work; when you're not, it only makes sense to assume it's nonsense, unless their work is endorsed by multiple field experts (without conflict of interest, which can be a murky issue in certain fields).

So, you're welcome to propose better noise filters, but I maintain that having a Ph.D. or not is the first question to ask when anyone is trying to sell you a scientific theory you're not qualified to evaluate.

Even if you ultimately care more about users, the incentives are still towards centrism. For example, Firefox still needs to do DRM to keep Netflix happy because users want to watch Netflix videos and will switch browsers to do it.

Compatibility is important, even for the market leader, because if they break too many websites too quickly, that will push people to switch browsers like nothing else. Especially if it's a big website people use every day.

Chrome does have a somewhat easier time taking the lead on deprecating things but it often requires multi-year campaigns and gradual steps. (Consider the campaigns to kill NSAPI and Flash.) This is needed even for Google to maintain compatibility with its own websites.

The analogy to markets still works. Ebay can change the rules to be more buyer-friendly but not so much that too many sellers leave, because buyer-friendly rules don't matter if you can't find the thing you want to buy.

An example of the market breaking down is major news sites blocking Chrome's Incognito mode, despite Chrome's gradual attempts to make fingerprinting harder.
Nothing. The jurisdiction this place operates in is fuzzy at best and I feel confident the owners will just abscond and go off to the next place.

Plus, the people who are the victims here are not the people who typically have the money to pursue this (and may live in countries where pursuing anything would cause more harm).

Marginalized victims, opaque legal jurisdiction/laws, and little/no incentive to go after the owners means that I feel confident absolutely nothing will happen.

Exactly. As I said, they didn't reveal much of the process that "accounted for confounding" but I just wanted to dismiss everyone's initial reaction that this is just an obvious case of confounding.

Perhaps it is. Perhaps it isn't. It just depends on how much you trust their methodology.

Living in lower NYC and being an avid snowboarded, there has been a profound difference in the snow season in the area over the past 10-15 years (I'm only 26) that I've noticed. 10 years ago, Hunter mountain would be covered with snow from mid December until mid March. With real snow or man made snow. But there was never an issue of opening the whole mountain due to lack of coverage. Now, we get the whole mountain for about 2 months per year, usually Jan and Feb. It's sad but it makes you re-think buying that $450 season pass that you really only get to use for a third of the normal season. Sure the mountains open, but it's not completely open and really kills some of the best parts.

Even going up to southern Vermont, you can see it. Mt. Snow is covered in ice. Okay, that's not a surprise, we call this the ice coast for a reason. No, there are massive sheets of JUST ICE all over. No glades. The groomers are slush. It's no bueno man.

Everyone has their reason for wanting to see a change in how we approach our climate. Snowboarding is freedom to me and the current climate is killing, literally killing, the industry over time. It's terrifying to me because I don't want to lose one of my favorite things in the world.

I once overwrote my own partition table. The next week was spend keeping the laptop on or in standby and investigating recovery. I never found a good solution so I started investigating alternatives, and ended with the so called nuke-and-pave, I Reinstalled Ubuntu.

Anyway, that's quite a situation you have got there :) can you not suspend to disc and keep the suspend image safe and able to be booted into after power failures or so? Maybe suspend to disc (hibernate) and then image the swap partition/file? Then some grub editing... or... what OS is this anyway?

if you start from the assumption that each of us has a finite amount of money we will give to charity and that - one way or another - we will give that amount, then giving to things like fun runs and fancy balls (https://leukemiaball.org/) makes no sense at all (the donation pie is fixed). If, however, these activities increase the pie of actual donations, then holding them makes sense, so long as the increase in the size of the giving pie is not exceeded by the expense of holding these activities.

In traditional Lisp and common Lisp, and similar dialects, the symbol t is customarily used as the catch all last case.

There is an interesting situation is in the case family of constructs which match an input value against keys, in Common Lisp.

Inspired by cond, the t symbol also serves as the fallback in case when the key doesn't match the other cases. So that is to say:

(case (expr)
(a ...)
(b ...)
(42 ...)
(t ...)) ;; <-- this isn't matching on the t symbol!

Common Lisp also supports the symbol otherwise in place of t.

But the programmer may also sometimes have the t symbol as a specific key value; or likewise the otherwise symbol. That requirement is handled by putting the key into a list:

(case (expr)
(a ...)
...
((t) ...)) ;; <- match on t
