I've been checking out lean in my spare time over the last week.

While it seems like a nice formal proof checker, it doesn't seem to have any automated their theorem proving abilities yet?

I can't imagine trying to do math where I have to manually supply a proof of every trivial statement... Something like Isabelle and it's sledgehammer automated proof finder seems more reasonable to me (which I hope to find time to dip my toes into this week).

Am I missing something?

>In any case, such judgement is only clear in hindsight (that is, calculating effectiveness implies a time window over which effects are to be tabulated).

If the judgment was really only clear in hindsight then no power structure could have altered it. What's clear only in hindsight to a CEO is clear only in hindsight to a union boss, or a collective, anyone else.

>How would we incentivize people to only take profits over an arbitrarily long (and ever-widening) window?

The corporation is already incentivized: in exchange for thinking about long-term profits, it is rewarded with long-term profits. However, executives often have different goals than the corporation they're supposed to represent. If you could figure out how to better align the interests of executives with their corporations, you would see more effective profit-seeking, which would include less killing due to blunders but more killing due to tobacco-industry style exploitation. Giving executives the freedom to put their own interests first (the source of next-quarterism and next-bonusism) is necessary if you want to give them the freedom to pursue ethical goals. You either trust them to make the right decisions or you don't.

>Are profits clawed back?

Yes! That's what happens when something causes you to lose money.

What does this have to do with garbage collection?

If your concern is about latency in real time systems, Garbage collection isn't the problem, heap allocating memory is. Julia makes it easy to never allocate anything on the heap (unlike most garbage collected langauges).

But I, as a civilian am not qualified to answer that question. Nor do I want to answer that question.

This is not a perfect analogy, and I don't want you to think that geopolitics is a zero sum game. But, imagine two heavyweight boxers circling each other in a ring. They are bouncing on the balls of their feet. They are moving in what you would almost call a dance. Most of the "fight" is in their footwork, their positioning. When one does jab, the other blocks, or moves out of the way, or takes the hit. Sometimes they counter. Sometimes they punch. This fight goes on for a long, long time. It is not tit for tat. They both want to win.

What you are saying is "That boxer needs to jab back, because the other boxer jabbed at him."
I'm fairly sure this info has made it onto the darkweb regardless. A number of people have reported to me that they have been cold called by "their bank" from a spoofed number, given partial account information/address history/ssn last 4/etc, and asked to verify "security questions", and when they hang up and call the bank of course they aren't involved. It sounds exactly like attackers attempting to social engineer their way past the last bits of information they don't have from credit history reports.
Haha, we've got lots of publicly documented evidence of US hacking operations against Chinese entities. Should China treat those as acts of war too then?

That Chomsky's ideal end-goal is unrealistic because it is inherently dynamically unstable.

Profit is what's left over after all costs are taken out from the price, including labour costs. Profit, by definition, is what the capitalist gets to keep for having done nothing but owning the capital that was used to generate the profit.

So like when Bezos makes $4M+ per hour, it's not a wage because he is not working for it, he could be sleeping or shitting and he would make the same money. He gets that just because it's his name on all of the capital that generates this profit. The actual work is being done by the many people working for amazon, peeing in bottles in fulfillment centres because of lack of breaks and whatnot. They get paid very little, so there are low costs, so there is great profit to line Bezos' pockets.

Since co-ops like Mondragon need to compete with companies that are run like Bezos' in order to survive, they are under pressure to do similar things in their management structure, even though they want to share all "profit" with all workers, since all workers are owners (which is why it's not really "profit" for co-ops, since there are no non-working capitalists that earn it). Therefore, it is the profit motive, rather than the market system, which forces co-ops to act in ways that are inconsistent with their mission statements (worker control, fair pay, etc.)

If I remember right, fresh college grad compscis would make about $50k / year.

The General Schedule caps out at a GS-15 with a yearly salary of $142k which is basically how much SV will pay a fresh grad.

It makes no financial sense for any CS grad to get a job in the federal government.

You can either maybe make $142k / yr in 20 - 30 years or $200k / yr in about 5 years.

Not at all. The vast majority of greenhouse gas production has been in industrial processes. While sure, all of that is largely in service to people, it isn't people (and people would be just as happy with similar processes that had fewer externality problems like greenhouse gases; the underlying problem there is Capitalism doesn't take such externalities into account in choosing between alternatives). The early Malthusian models were wrong and this sort of eugenics talk is counter-productive, if not sick/dangerous.

While search engines have gotten quite better handling javascript, but that was not the point of my comment.

I just hope that people evaluate the potential drawbacks of this approach before jumping into this because it is convenient to get started with.

Angular 1 was also pretty popular in its glory days and as I have learnt the hard way popularity is not a good indicator of either longevity or quality.

I also suggested some alternatives that I have found in my experience to be better suited towards the task of enhancing server-rendered markup.

If one has evaluated related alternatives, weighed pros and cons and settled on alpine, well, power to them.

> your assertion that somehow China would be able to leverage that type of warfighting

I'm not saying that, I'm that the entirety of the US military is incompetent and pumped too full of cash (despite its many failures) that's it's ridiculous to act like no one can compete.

I know we like to take our satellite states for granted, but that day will come to an end and it seems likely that taking real action against China could be the catalyst.
From the article:

>The nine-count indictment alleges that Wu Zhiyong (吴志勇), Wang Qian (王乾), Xu Ke(许可) and Liu Lei (刘磊) were members of the PLA’s 54th Research Institute, a component of the Chinese military.

How were they identified exactly? I'm always fascinated with these DOJ indictments of foreign state actors but I'm always left wondering how they managed to narrow it down to a small group of people. I'm guessing that "PLA’s 54th Research Institute" employs thousands of people so how does the FBI/DOJ identify the culprits so precisely? Is it through CIA/NSA spying and moles inside the PLA?

You don't see foreign governments identifying individual NSA employees when the NSA hacks into something... so how does the DOJ do it?

Now, here's an interesting thing to consider. You bring up coal and oil - both industries that are on the way out in the long term. Would it be wise for shareholders to push these companies to invest in R&D to improve their long-term capabilities? No, if coal and oil are on the way out, then the best financial strategy would be to run the companies into the ground as you slowly liquidate them, ideally so that there's nothing left on the very day that fossil fuels are no longer needed. In that case, short-termism is the best strategy.

>I paid for an operating system, just let me use the damn thing in peace will you

It's always been about control. You can apply this to damn-near everything too. "I paid for an operating system, let me use it as I see fit" "I paid for an internet connection, let me use it how I want" "I paid for a laptop, let me upgrade the RAM" "I paid for a phone, let me install whatever apps I choose / let me replace the battery" etc etc.

It's everything infuriating about modern computing in a nutshell. Every company wants absolute control over everything you do. And if they can't have that, they want _data_ on everything you do.

We've been using SSH over SSM at work, and it's been great for tying access to IAM credentials.

Using the SSM tool as a ProxyCommand for OpenSSH is brilliant. I can SSH to an instance (turning on agent forwarding, etc.) or SCP files back and forth, all the same way that I'd do it with a regular host. But that host doesn't need to be exposed to inbound SSH traffic!

I was also able to get the ProxyCommand working in a Docker container, so I don't have to install the AWS CLI or the SSM plugin on my (Linux) host system, with an .ssh/config entry like this:

Host i-*
ProxyCommand docker run -i --rm -v $PWD:$PWD -w $PWD -u 1000:1000 -v ~/.aws:/tmp/.aws -e HOME=/tmp -e AWS_PROFILE <docker image ref> ssm start-session --target %h --document-name AWS-StartSSHSession --parameters 'portNumber=%p'

A few problems in practice:

* We often use our bastions to do port forwarding, e.g. to connect to an RDS instance inside VPC. As far as I know, we can't accomplish this with just SSH over SSM, so we still keep our bastions.

* User management: SSH over SSM doesn't do any user or key management for you (which makes sense). It establishes the SSH connection and you're on your own from there. We use Keymaker [1] to dynamically create user accounts on the EC2 instances, and populate SSH keys according to the user's IAM profile. This works fine, but maybe there's room for simplification.

* Connecting based on instance ids (`ssh i-...`) can be awkward. It would be amazing if we could alias these somehow, like set up a CNAME that points to `i-...`. I wasn't able to get OpenSSH to follow a CNAME and then use the ProxyCommand. Maybe it's possible, though.

My wife had an interesting issue in the UK with Amazon very recently. I order a lot from Amazon. A lot. 99% of all packages turn up same or next day no issues.

My wife started ordering some things and they kept going missing. We compared addresses and they were identical. Order tracking kept showing a delivery date, then the date came and the item was just returned to warehouse. Repeat 5x times and after many 40 min phone calls she just cancelled the order for a refund.

Repeat 7 or 8 times. Phoning up the Indian based call centre helped not at all. Hours wasted

She tried one last time and got a call back from a manager in the UK who looked into it. After a week or was resolved.

I still don't have a technical explanation, but apparently some special routing meta data had been added to that address where the package was always routed through another logistics centre or something.

Total nightmare getting it sorted out
