The link you've posted to includes several deliberate misrepresentations (aka lies) about the nature of the product (i.e., claiming it is cashmere when it's just cotton-polyester).

In LA's fashion district I can find you a locally made cotton-polyester sweater for under $10, and the seamstress is making a living at that price and using quality cotton-polyester fibers rather than the scratchy cheap QA-rejects. I could probably even find an actual cashmere sweater for under $50, made out of cashmere wool.

In D&D there is a certain type of spell called Power Word Kill which works slightly differently based on the version of D&D you're playing with, but the effect is that it essentially kills a single individual with a single word.

I'm not saying phosphorus should be legal or illegal, but at some point "it's just a packet I sent on the internet" or "it's just a PDF I sent to someone overseas" or "it's just an element" misses the point.

Anti-virus vendors get malware. A certain degree of limiting the power of individual actors is wise.
> This article seems like clickbait.

I disagree. Being aware of potential pitfalls like these could help the founders of future startups think more deeply about their value proposition than if they were not paying attention to what is going on with other startups.

And actually additionally after reading this I am left wondering, as a customer of Apple products, might this also affect me in my personal life? I might be jumping the shark here but, I am thinking that if this is the strategy that Apple has moving forward might we eventually see them implement too many different features? So that they then become unable to support all of the features they built and then they either leave the features unmaintained or alternatively shut down the servers supporting those features and removing said features? There is at least one FAANG company known for doing that, and the name of that company starts with a capital G.

Back to startup land this then raises the question whether Apple might begin acqui-hiring more startups when if in the future they find themselves unable to support all of the features that they built. And if so, when would be the right time to try and get in touch with Apple to raise their awareness about your startup, if your startup is building something with a set of features that Apple added to their software and for which they might end up unable to support that feature to a satisfying degree?
The reason hospitals charge more is (1) they need to recoup the cost of the services they are otherwise providing for free and (2) they have no leverage to negotiate with insurance companies and drug manufacturers. Having a national or privatized healthcare system that covers everyone will greatly help with both of them.

> Plastic appears to better than wood //

Do your own due diligence on this one, but a few years ago I think it was reported that, surprisingly, wooden chopping boards are better than plastic ones (which had been assumed to be better as they're less absorbent, etc.) and actually combat bacteria.

Given Covid19 is reported to - unusually for a virus - last up to a week [check a proper source!] or so on hard surfaces then maybe in this situation wood might also be better???

>"A study by the Food Research Institute in Wisconsin
(Ak et al. 1994a and b) compared wooden and plastic
boards and came to the surprising result that wood possesses substantially better hygienic characteristics than
plastic. After contaminating different cutting boards with
bacteria, significantly fewer viable bacteria could regularly
be recovered from wooden boards than from plastic
boards. These results were confirmed by Gehrig et al.
(2000) in a recent study investigating hygienic aspects of
wooden and plastic boards regarding the risk of food
contamination. Previous studies assumed that the detected
reduction in bacterial numbers on the wood surfaces is
caused by an antibacterial effect of wood based on several
physical and chemical properties of wood. The porous
structure and hygroscopic characteristics of wood could
remove the water needed by the bacteria for their vital
functions and multiplication and thus kill them
(Kampelmacher et al. 1971, Schulz 1995). In addition,
substances present in wood (e.g. polyphenoles) could be
responsible for an antibacterial effect (Willaman 1955,
Biswas et al. 1981, Laks and McKaig 1988, Field et al. 1989,
Schra¨gle and Mu¨ller 1990, Scalbert 1991, Mu¨ller et al.
1995)"

> Did. you. read. my. blog. post.

Exactly. You state that reporting a bug/potential feature, or issuing a pull request, are inherently "confrontational" processes, but this is far from the truth in well-managed projects. And to the extent that it has become so, it's precisely because of procedural roadblocks like CoC's. CoC's make it so project maintainers can no longer use effective moral suasion to require of all contributors to be less confrontational and keep professionalism and the goodness of the project as their shared, common goals.

Their hands are tied; they are now only allowed to act as enforcers of a legalistic "code" that focuses on punishing perceived discrimination against a laundry list of overtly-acknowledged ("protected") groups - even the perception of such outside project spaces! - but leaves literally everything else as a toxic free-for-all where the loudest and most obnoxious trolls win, and the maintainer's hard-won wisdom and judgment ultimately counts for nothing. And that's only the slightest of problems with the most common CoC's; other issues are far more serious.

It's funny how in those political discussions, comments often say more about the commenter.

For example, I would argue that the "propaganda" that anybody can do anything isn't that old yet. On the other hand, certain political groups have been sabotaging government leadership for so long - by claiming that government is always incapable - that there's just no good leadership left in many places and it's become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You can formally prove that a program is a refinement of a specification, or that a subroutine always obeys certain invariants (when executed honestly.) See Dafny and ADA-SPARK for examples.

It reduces to theorem proving with a SAT solver like Z3, if your language is Turing-complete and your invariants are abitrarily general. SAT solvers are fast and powerful these days, but the usual issues are:

1. It's too cumbersome to define invariants or write the type of specs that can check program correctness.

2. Things get exponential as state space increases.

Modern checked languages are finally addressing #1, though they will sometimes have blind spots (e.g. Dafny can't reason about concurrency, TLA+ (which can) is very abstract and high level.)

Writing programs as bundles of isolated, formally verified modules, then proving the correctness of the program with a high-level spec that assumes module correctness, lets you scale to real, large programs. This is how Dafny works, for example -- functions declare pre and post-conditions, and so Dafny can throw away its reasoning about callee function's internals when checking a caller.

This strategy really is overlooked! It's powerful enough that you can eliminate memory/argument checks at compile time, ditch all your unit tests and KNOW your program implements a spec. It should be mandatory for all safety-critical systems that can't rely on hardware fail-safes (e.g. airplanes.)

It just takes 3x as long.
> But fundamentally what these attacks enable are super old & well known, with multiple existing mechanisms that fulfill similar roles.

It still has to be published.
The article doesn't claim to break all the isolation mechanisms of the processor like Spectre/Meltdown.
Why should we compare this paper with Spectre/Meltdown?

> Is there something particularly unique or severe about "Take A Way" other than techchrunch's bad reporting of it?

Yes, there are at least three things in "Take A Way" which is interesting:

- These side-channels are harder to detect because it doesn't require a very intensive use of the cache (no flush / filling all cache ways / etc.). A single collision is enough to evict a targeted cache line.

- It allows to set up a covert channel that can transfer up to 588.9 kB/s.

- They did a reverse engineering job on a processor mechanism and its undocumented hash function.
Because they're still treating them in some regard(before being overwhelmed).

However once things get even more overwhelmed, you have bad cases become critical leading to more fatalities.

The going figure seems to 20% are badly impacted, with 5% of that critical. Some of that 15% will become critical without treatment that might not be available. Thus impacting people <70.

Could not disagree more, for much of human history only the rich and their offspring typically had access to higher education and crucially learning materials, books where horrendously expensive for example for all but the most wealthy.

We live in a golden age for autodidacts, that people often seem intellectually incurious says less about the society and more the people who constitute it, many people are simply incurious - it’s not a bad thing, it is their life and they are free to live it how they want, it doesn’t hurt me that people binge watch the Kardashians.

And the idea that society has somehow gotten worse and prior generations where not like this is crazier still.. we are only a couple of centuries out from executing spinsters for witchcraft and believing in curses.

Those are reasonable points, and I acknowledge based on the details you mentioned that the incident of Trump referring to a "hoax" may not fit the standard pattern Trump uses. In another comment in this thread I describe the pattern as he used it about immigrants, about Charlottesville, etc. I'm curious if you think those cases are also situations where Trump deserves to have his character defended.

But, to your point, I strongly agree that the NYT has done a horrible job at journalism in the Trump era. Nearly every day there are headlines that focus on Trump's persona rather than the substance (or lack thereof) of his policies, and the paper seems to prefer to publish stories that appeal to its in-group rather than stories that report what happened and contextualize it over time. Often, nearly every single story on the front page starts with the word Trump, with a few left of center stories just to create the impression that the paper is not a right wing voice itself.

For instance, NYT readers likely do not know that Obama stared the tent camps for children of illegal immigrants who committed certain kinds of crimes, and that the audio of children crying was captured while Obama was in office.

To be clear, I have zero respect for Trump, and zero respect for the NYT. The article you linked is a shameful and unnecessary (and low quality) bit of drivel, meant only to secure more subscription fees from partisans. It doesn't add anything of value to the dialog.

I do think the word salad is a deliberate tactic used by Trump to achieve both a textual and subtextual outcome from his speech. He knows what will turn into a sound bite and tailors them to be the kinds of sound bites that will resonate both for him and against him. If you are skeptical of this point I will be happy to dig into it in more detail as it worked in his favor during the 2016 campaign.
The only way to ensure escape from a disease is to eradicate or contain it. A vaccine helps tremendously in that regards, but alone doesn't guarantee eradication; as we have flu vaccines since the 1930s, yet the flu still remains amongst us. However, this is arguably just a result of vaccination rates; if more people took the flu seriously and were regularly vaccinated, we may have eradicated the flu by now.

Same for COVID-19. If people don't ever take this seriously enough, then I doubt we'll eradicate it. The virus is on every continent in ~120/195 of the world's countries, all of which happened in a few months, despite travel bans and quarantines setup to initial outbreak areas. To me that sounds like people need to take it more seriously and put more effort into containing this. Otherwise it looks like it'll end up being endemic just like the flu, and we may never eradicate it despite having a vaccine - as what evidence do we have that enough people will vaccinate themselves when we do have a vaccine, if people keep equating it to the flu...

Yeah, there may be one more delivery to the typical store before the end, but without workers, warehouses will empty, and without an economy, generally everything will collapse.

Economies aren't just playthings for little pieces of multicolored paper -- they're the process by which we live a life different from that of a wild animal.

Life without an economy would be smelly, brutal, and short.

> Amazon has not done anything to combat counterfeit items on their website before now, I don't expect much from them now.

I think they have, but their efforts are usually spastic and reactive, so they don't do much good.

I remember during the eclipse a few years ago, they told everyone who bought eclipse glasses from them not to use them and refunded their money. There were lots of articles showing most of the ones being sold on Amazon were inadequate or had fake certification markings. Unfortunately, Amazon only took action a few days before the eclipse, after millions were sold and it was almost impossible to find alternatives.
A small increase in supply available, even if it's not a large absulute number will probably lead to a proportionally bigger dip in prices as tenants or prospective buyers might have other options, especially in very bubbly markets with high competition (correct me if this line of reasoning is wrong).
