Understood. The fact that the patient took that bad turn and then immediately recovered after taking remdesivir is very suggestive. If his case stayed light throughout then yeah it would have been hard to tell. BTW remdesivir is highly anticipated to be the candidate drug so this is not totally unexpected. The other good thing is that it has already been tested on human subjects (for Ebola with ineffective result) so it is known to be relatively safe.

Just updating isn't a very safe way to upgrade, use what they suggest in the mail instead:

To update the opkg package itself without upgrading the entire firmware, the following commands may be used once all repositories have been updated:

cd /tmp
opkg update
opkg download opkg
zcat ./opkg-lists/openwrt_base | grep -A10 "Package: opkg" | grep SHA256sum
sha256sum ./opkg_2020-01-25-c09fe209-1_*.ipk

Compare both checksums and, if matching, proceed with installing the package:

opkg install ./opkg_2020-01-25-c09fe209-1_*.ipk

Nice preconceptions, they truly add to your argument.

CT brings nothing new to the table in terms of "now we can do X that we couldn't do otherwise". If you can provide an example to prove its usefulness, please do. Funny thing is that every time it comes down to "just show me" the hand-waving and "you wouldn't get it" begins. Things that work speak for themselves.

>you're scoffing at something you don't understand
Actually ... I was also very excited by the promise of CT a few years ago and since then I have read a lot about it and I'm quite confident "I understand" what I'm talking about. I've been programming for about 20 years, half of them with functional languages (or languages with first-class functional constructs: lisp, haskell, scala). I have read the most famous books on CT touching on programming, some of them are signed as I have spent my own money going to some CT conferences and meeting with the people there.

As a conclusion, I don't mean that CT is useless in itself. It definitely is a nice mathematical framework and has proven a great tool for a few things here and there in different areas of math. But in the context of computer science, as I said it before, it does not bring anything new to the table.

From a UI perspective, this is brilliant. Windows had it with a shell extension that essentially turned Windows Explorer (not IE) into what would later be Outlook Express. It's awful that they opted out of making the desktop Explorer smarter and went the stand-alone application route.

There's a lot they can do. Lobbyist at a minimum have the same access to a politician as you do. They can make phone calls, send letters, attend and speak at legislative hearings, or try to be involved in the right social circles. Building this social element is important for their continued success and gives them access beyond what a typical person could normally obtain.

More importantly they have influence because some group has a moneyed interest in legislation. This can give them the resources to do the above regularly. They might hire legal counsel to sue governments. They may be able to lend support to pet projects and gain support for their own goals.

USB C won’t be the standard forever, and it’s a standard that takes many forms and has caused lots of confusion, so it’s not exactly the gold standard.

USB C isn’t forever, eventually USB D will come around, and what’ll happen? The EU and their (often targeted anti-American-tech) laws will hold phones back, or leave themselves out of the market.
I don't know whether they'd make a lot of money, but they would provide a valuable service.

I tend to see things in a functional way, and I often think that the people that fight on Twitter are using that as a way to blow off steam. It's not healthy as in "it will make them have a better tomorrow", but it might manage the pressure before they explode. If your life is shitty and constantly screaming isn't socially accepted, screaming silently by telling somebody to fuck off might be the next best thing, similarly to mental health issues and substance abuse.

These people grew up with computers. My Mom a boomer runs the family domain email server. I don't feel sorry for people not keeping up with the times.

I don’t know how little snitch does it, but iirc our old fortinet at the office caches the DNS response for logging, so that no extra reverse dns requests are needed (and if there isn’t a cached one, you have to explicitly ask to look it up when looking at the logs)
The American publishing industry perhaps.

Reminds me of an old story:

https://www.economist.com/special-report/2003/06/12/airbuss-...

Maybe people here have never heard the EU point of view on it, so let me sum it up: Airbus bribed Saudi officials in the 90s to get a 6 billion contracts. It was "whistleblowed" by this then little-known agency: NSA and in the end Boeing got the contract. It triggered a EU investigation in what was then called ECHELON. A Cold-war era spying network that was being repurposed for economic intelligence.

Airbus defense was that in Saudi Arabia, nothing gets done without corruption and Boeing probably did the same, but of course, EU had no interceptions to prove it.

I often argue that Snowden told us very little new information and that the EU kney most of this since 2001. I don't understand why it took 15 years to become a public concern.

Sure, sure, but "serious, motivated and capable" still doesn't give them leverage. You will always have individuals committing terrible things, there will always be the next school shooter or terrorist, but those are, while tragic, small events, and if you didn't turn on the TV, you usually wouldn't notice them if you lived a few hundred miles away. Change the policies of a nation and you'll have a much larger effect that can be felt everywhere within its borders.

So sure, paying attention to the edge cases is fine, but focus most of your attention on the big issues.
Linux does do that, and has since the Kernel 2.2 or so; In fact, opensnitch is a user mode process thanks to Linux allowing that, whereas windows needed drivers last I checked (win 2000 days, but the network driver model was still the same for win 7 and even later iirc)
Meanwhile, every other electronic that ships with USB C never requires extra stuff.

No extra stuff to connect to old devices, no extra stuff to connect to vide/displays, no extra stuff to connect to network connections, etc.

For a connector that was supposed to reduce electronic waste and simply connections, USB C has generated a lot of extra cables required.
You don't have to accept that, and if you waste half an hour unchecking boxes that site is doing malicious compliance.

In my experience it's three clicks or so to turn off data gathering. I could not be happier with the GDPR.
From a brief excursion into these smaller languages recently, it seems to me that since those arguments things have settled down and statements made about the language is either now available (e.g. open source, fast compile time) or marked as unfinished.

IMO it does deserve a place in that list today and is definitely worth a gander.

And I have argued it on D, and we very deliberately did not go with the range semantics. Optional types are not ranges unless you're compulsively hunting for forced commonality. Might as well treat any value as a range of 1.

> I personally have never understood the point of trying to limit what actions are being dispatched. As long as your reducers and action creators are well typed, it shouldn't matter what other actions might be sent through.

The value comes when you consider what happens if a reducer (or saga or whatever) is updated in a breaking way (or removed wholesale).

Example: consider a scenario where you use `connected-react-router`, your codebase fills up with history actions being dispatched, then one day you remove `connected-react-router`, or its major version is updated and introduces some breaking change.

If you have a union type that includes all your own actions plus the `LocationChangeAction` from connected-react-router (and you use is consistently - e.g. your components take `Dispatch<YourAction>`) then you'll learn about the breaking change when your app fails to compile.

The alternative is you catch it later than compile-time, at worst _much_ later.

You might decide that the overhead in this scenario isn't worth it, and that's your call to make (I believe it is worth it) but hopefully this gives an idea of the point.

Until several years ago cookies couldn't be used for CSRF tokens, because they were sent with every request to your site, regardless of where the request originated. SameSite changes that because you can now control when a given cookie is sent with a given request, based on how a link was followed. It puts the work on the browser.

SameSite is just a property you use when setting a cookie, like the expiration, or url path. There are three settable values: None, Lax, and Strict.

'None' sends the cookie with every
request, like how browsers "historically" acted.

'Lax' is the new default [1]. If someone follows a link to your page, these cookie are sent with the request. If a third-party site POSTs to one of your pages, these cookies won't be sent.

'Strict' cookies will never be sent to your server if the request originated from a third party, even if it's as innocent as following a link from a search engine.

So use these types to your liking. Your needs vary. If you want the user to appear logged in when they follow a link to your site you're going to use None or (most likely) Lax.

As far as CSRF, you can generate a single CSRF token at login and set it in a cookie as with SameSite=Strict. Regenerate it every so often, or at "big" events, and voila. One CSRF token per device session. No worries about multiple tabs open, and you have reasonable expectation to only have to keep track of a single token at a time. The kicker is, you technically don't even have to have a CSRF token if you don't want. If you're serious about nobody linking to an "internal" authenticated page, just set the primary session id cookie as strict. (I would personally do more than this, but hey.)

I do secure portals. So we set several cookies across the board. Varying expiration times. They all have their purposes.

[1] While you can consider Lax as the new default, if you omit the SameSite property on a cookie it is actually attributed as something referred to as 'NotSet', which is unsettable, and acts a hybrid between Lax and None. Browsers vary a little here, but it's only to maintain reasonable backwards compatibility at the moment, and both Mozilla and Chrome developers plan to remove this hybrid functionality in the future. Basically.. a cookie will act like None for 2 minutes, then act like Lax after that, etc.
Oh yeah, it's definitely just a stupid joke equation. Probably only funny to anybody who's seen Euler's equation a thousand times.

You can't cheat with reading. Whatever you think of NNT he carefully picks metaphors to simplify underlying fabric.

Thank you for the offer. It would be interesting to hear their response. It’s seems there are a lot of people who like magnetic retention. I miss MagSafe :)
The EU regulations are doing one good thing: they are giving a small competitive advantage to companies that don't track you. For example, I've stopped using Google search, because I had enough of the creepy tracking on Google. I rarely watch Youtube videos anymore, because I don't want to click the consent button.

Some companies might start to rethink if they really need all this tracking technology. For example, I've removed Google Analytics from all sites that I was responsible for when the GDPR went into effect. I've decided that the potential liablility, and the inconvenience for the user was just not worth the small upside of knowing how many people clicked which link.

I've also stopped including tracking pixels in email newsletters, and I've also convinced others to stop using Google Analytics.

With the GDPR, you now at least know that some websites are going to do everything to track you, and it's an informed choice.

That really has happened. A legit owner used an old vulnerability to rescue $30,000 from a Trezor wallet when he forgot the pin.

Luckily he hadn't updated the firmware so the vulnerability wasn't patched on his device, but despite that, it took a long time and was not easy. But like this newer vulnerability, it would almost be impossible if he had also used a strong passphrase, as Trezor recommends.

This is BS. Lobbyists serve the companies they work for and nobody else. There have been many cases of lobbyists getting fired for not sticking to the corporate agenda even on small matters. It's institutionalized corruption.

The hypothetical 'legitimate lobbyists' are 'low performers' and they don't stick around very long. Either they will be underpaid and quit or they'll be fired outright.

But how many politicians end up getting huge salaries from these so-called 'think tanks' after they finish their terms?

How is this different from receiving a 'gift'? It's extremely reductive to even mention gifts as bribery at this stage because we are far beyond that primitive level of interaction.

This unspoken agreement between politicians and think thanks is exactly the same as bribery. They're bribing politicians with (at best) implicit promises future money.

This legal approach to bribery is not only evil but it's also extremely hypocritical. Usually, when people do evil things, at least they know it's evil and many of them will hear a voice at the back of their heads telling them that they should stop doing it.

Now, the only voice at the back of politicians' heads is telling them "It's OK, it's not a gift/bribe, it's just a job offer given based on my skills" - Nevermind that the salary offered is 10x what they're getting now; that's just an irrelevant detail. A think tank's promises and its reputation for paying big are its currency; the result is exactly the same as bribing with gifts or money.
Fun fact: in macOS Little Snitch if you create a separate profile for your VPN interface (as specified with the goal to allow certain apps/traffic only when the VPN is up), circumventing the VPN it is as easy as:

In other words, no firewall rules are applied to actually block traffic on the non-VPN interface. Apps are only blocked from accessing the internet when the VPN interface goes down.
