Consultants - the term has been diluted. But if you say that you're a consultant, people's imagination takes over. There's a reason why so many people are consultants. It's because generally speaking it's a term that projects high value merit.

Layers - people respect lawyers?

Engineers - we generally have very low respectability, among laypeople.

My grandparents spending habits were permanently affected by growing up during the great depression. They talked about their frugality in the context of the depression often. It anchored their entire concept of money. My parents were deeply affected too and often talked about their own childhood and how they were taught to handle money. I feel like I was brought up with a vestige of that great depression mentality and often actively challenge myself to be less frugal. That's 90 years of long run hysteresis right there.
Doesn't help when things are pressured into opening up and then you're forced to make the decision to put yourself at risk by going to work or get fired.
In principle yes. The problem is that they loose their topicness and quickly become "oh this was the closest virtual desktops to where you were in the grid with an empty space." This is largely because I made the mistake of originally implementing the transition system as a grid (this was 5 years ago or so). Since then I realized that I basically want a button that will let me create a new topic space, and then remove that space automatically when I close the last window in it. Figuring out how gc stale topics (I can recreate them from memory) and/or discover which topics already have spaces is the hard part (I have had the ability to display topics on desktops via conky for years and that doesn't seem to have helped).

I have also thought about trying to decouple how spaces are associated per monitor, but couldn't figure out a way to interact with such a system that wouldn't leave my brain lost somewhere in even higher dimensional virtual spaces than it already is!
I can't speak definitively to numbers and can't judge success in any sort of quantitative way, so take that comment with a grain of salt. But I can say starting programming early in life is definitely a big leg up on others in the field.
My mistake, I was misremembering some things related to the the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone from geography class 10 years ago.

As an aside, the ITCZ is a trigger for hurricanes when it moves too far from the equator.

Bringing back manufacturing and other things of industrial nature from China isn't just good strategic planning in a time of uncertainty.

It is also a gesture of good faith because supporting a dictatorship that actively imprisons over a million people in concentration camps and uses them for organ harvesting should, at the very least, be punished economically. There is no finding equal ground or compromise with those bastards.

After a lot of reflection I think I'm in a place now where I disagree with this cause just taking over the body with mind control can lead to schisms and narcissism and denial of self

I do agree bringing awareness is verrryyy helpful and healthy. the key is to keep being aware of what comes up for you and accept it and embrace it and get to know it and empathize with other postures/bodies to see how exactly your body _could_ feel differently and as you realize more and more what your body is really feeling, it'll naturally heal on its own. no need to step it and change things consciously, which never really does anything anyways cause your subconscious takes over as soon as your attention shifts away

the key thing to take away here is it's impossible to fully realize how your body actually feels without some psychological insights into yourself as well, to move some stuff from your subconscious to your conscious

like for example one can't fully realize how much anger their jaw is holding unless they also realize how much they feel angry about their life cause of something they haven't realized and have repressed

I do not get why people use Adobe Acrobat to read pdfs. It is extremely slow, bloated, eats up your memory, has more holes than Swiss cheese, it is non-free, and probably has all sorts of telemetry on it.

They've operated in the US for a while now.

From the press release: "In the United States, TSMC currently operates a fab in Camas, Washington and design centers in both Austin, Texas and San Jose, California. The Arizona facility would be TSMC’s second manufacturing site in the United States."

Vehicle weight has a large impact on survivability, but not all the way down at 5mph. Plus, vehicles are easy to avoid at 5mph, the majority of the human population can out walk cars at that speed.

That being said, vehicle size is another uncomfortable subject when it comes to road deaths. If we really cared about not killing people on the road, we’d take a long, hard look at what cars we allow to operate on our roads.

Delivery trucks have the benefit of being obviously necessary; I am glad that trucks exist to deliver my food from the train depot (ideally) to my grocery store. But what’s the argument for Suburbans? SUVs not only drastically increase the risk for pedestrians, but they also make the roads more dangerous for other drivers to. For what? Status? A false perception of safety?
I doubt that they use face recognition for tracking, instead they can just log MAC addresses of mobile phones that come within range.

If you're exposing a developer instance to the network and it has port knocking deployed, why does it matter? The discoverability of such a service is basically zero.

What are the chances of the cracker finding the exact combination of ports to knock on, and then the exact key to use? If they're able to do that then they are a dedicated attacker and they're mitm'ing a presumably encrypted connection on your network, so you probably have more problems than just one bad machine, they already replicated or replaced a certificate on your machine, or worse.

And if you then expose a service that isn't via the port knocking algorithm, surely that would show up?

> We're not even comfortable with long-lived keys anymore

Can you not just change the key N number of logins and factor in 2FA as well?

I'm not sure how port knocking cannot, at least theoretically, be used in conjunction with the other measures you talked about.
If someone told me I were killing it, I would feel like a 22 year old engineer again and have flashbacks to that one PM who loved my work but who came to work still tripping some Mondays. Glad to be making a key stakeholder happy, but holy fuck am I glad we finally fired that tool.

If someone told me I was doing above average and they appreciated my work, I would feel... appreciated and proud of my work.

The world where killing and crushing are used in an unironic way is tiny and occupied mostly by people under 30. Can you retire at 30?
I just want to say that this is extremely eloquent and well-written. I aspire to write like this. I also agree with you.
I can tell you right now what's happening and compress all those log records into a single record:

Every exposed 22/tcp on the Internet is being continuously exposed to automated SSH scanners running from thousands of points on the Internet. There is nothing you can reasonably do to prevent it (the sources are so diverse you couldn't even realistically block a determined scanner), and, if you've turned off password authentication --- which you must do anyways --- the probes aren't a meaningful threat.
that makes sense given kinetic energy is mass * velocity^2. That squaring of velocity means every mph as they get higher is even more significant than the ones before.
It can be better than EU while still being dismal. Although I'd love to see some stats (not anecdotes) showing that it's better on the whole, because that's certainly not the case for those I know of.

More importantly, measuring it as a single number for the entire country hides a lot of nuance that matters. It's rarely constant across the spectrum, and those at the bottom of it usually see far less social mobility than those higher up. US is pretty good at social mobility for middle class specifically, but really bad for those below that.

Regarding the "silver spoon" bit - why do you take a complaint about inequality to mean that you should be earning less? The way I see it, others should be earning more, and have quality of life closer to mine. And they would, if all that money wasn't collected as economic rent by their employers (in case of small businesses, the chain goes a bit further up, but there's always somebody skimming of wealth generated by other people at the end of it).
The gold rush is a good metaphor.

Few are willing to dash off into the wilderness for no good reason, but many are willing to do so for a chance at profit.

The problem with profit potential is, after it becomes profit likelihood, the second, following wave is inevitably better capitalized.

The only way to survive is to strike it big and then entrench hard enough that you can't be dislodged with any surfeit of competitor funding (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook).

And then, congratulations, you've become what you used to hate.

There's a strong adverse selection effect, though. Because you need to publish to be granted a patent but can sue whenever anyone infringes (whether willful or not), the incentive is to patent obvious approaches that don't work well and hold the best approach that you're actually using as a trade secret. That way, anyone attempting to replicate you likely ends up in a patent minefield, yet you don't give away the keys to the castle in a patent where you have to detect infringement yourself.

The premise of your comment is that you're deploying dev instances on routable IP addresses on networks without default-closed filtering, in a configuration where it's theoretically possible that people could directly get a remote shell into that machine.

Don't do that.

In AWS (for example), have a dev VPC, and a WireGuard forwarder on it (or, if you're doing things 2010-style, an SSH bastion). If the machine needs to expose 443 directly to the Internet, give it an EIP; have the VPC prevent traffic to anything but 443 (and WireGuard).

What, in that architecture, would port knocking even be accomplishing? Keeping the wrong developer off your machine?

As for how attackers would break port knocking: if you believe attackers can't passively watch traffic, either directly or through redirection, I have good news for you about how much money you need to spend on encrypting traffic!
I think China faces a larger threat of its people revolting against authoritarianism than war with the US. Predictions like these are pretty useless in any event.

It's probably mixed with avoiding confrontation and thinking that the other people understand it. I'd assume that calling it intelligent didn't have a belittling tone, but rather a 'still awesome, sad I didn't understand it' one
Moxie actually published a nice lighweight port knocking daemon that:

* Does not bind to sockets

* Is not written in C

* Prevents replay attacks

* The only code that runs as root is just tailing kern.log and is like 15 lines

It probably needs to roll from SHA1 to SHA256 and Python2 to Python3, but otherwise seems sound.

If you know anything about the geopolitics behind this, this was a forced move which TSMC wouldn't have otherwise done. If TSMC didn't do it, then US State Department would have funded Intel to produce their 5nm fabs here.

So yeah, educate yourself and then behave reasonably.

Totally agree. But a generation or two of vilifying governments has eroded any respect for how amazing our government is and all it does right. I will also say it’s easy to forget how the right to have a say through democratic accountability shapes policy and culture. People love to think of companies as more innovative than government but that’s often because they aren’t accountable to as many constituents so they can act according to more narrow incentives.

if it's expressive evocative emotional physical activity, i agree. like a fun soccer game, a good dance, etc. anything that releases tension in the body and helps you to breath more fully and in a more relaxed happy way

if it's physical activity using will (like a droning gym routine) or meditation, i actually think it can lead to more stiffness and weirdness and awkwardness in a person's psychology

the body is not meant to be controlled by the mind

the objective is just to simply connect with the body more, not yell at it
Corporations are normally fundamentally autocratic institutions from top to bottom (your boss has absolute say, and if you oppose it, you are liable to be fired on the spot).

Its extremely concerning how many people just accept this as some fundamental fact of life.

All sidewalk labs is, is an extension of that principle onto general government.
The US has lots of advanced fabs already. This isn't the part of the supply chain we're missing. This does nothing to reduce our dependence on China for manufacturing.

Edit: and this isn't actually a cutting edge fab. By the time it opens in 2024 the cutting edge process will be 3nm or beyond.

It's crazy the value of vintage computers. My dad gave me an IBM XT 286 he got for nothing in the late 90's. It was for me to take apart and destroy so I could learn a bit about computers, which I did.

Now just the keyboard is worth hundreds of dollars. I was frustrated to see LGR do a repair video of the exact model I had, and the same model can go for thousands of dollars.
> the sources are so diverse you couldn't even realistically block a determined scanner

No just click through. No address required.
When it could have just been a simple no.

Then again, workplace is so different to OSS. It's different power dynamic. You're not a despot in the workplace if you're taking orders from above. In a real sense, when you work for someone, saying "no" to work tasks can mean getting fired.

But in another sense, you need to be able to talk to people in your workplace as peers (again different to the OSS situation we are talking about here), using NVC and what not, to make sure your needs are getting met, you feel heard, and you're healthy. A "no" as in "I'm not unwilling to do the work here" but "this doesn't work for me" and talking is necessary. A workplace where you can't say no does not sound very good.

Well, receiving a no that's a different story, and people need to get that it's their responsibility to get used to that, and it's okay to get a no.

Giving a no, that discipline is essential
TSMC found it won't be economical unless subsidized. My understanding is that TSMC managed to get commitment to subsidy from US federal government and the State of Arizona.

That's only the case as long as complying with California's emissions laws is not too much harder than what they would otherwise have to comply with. That's a complicated analysis, it's kinda got a bit of prisoner's dilemma to it. As long as companies are following CA's restrictive emissions laws, there's little incentive for other areas to make their own laws more restrictive. If companies started to ignore CA's laws (and not sold there or sold different versions) you should expect other states to start to pass more and more restrictive laws.

This isn't being brought back from China, TSMC is Taiwanese and operates the overwhelming majority of their fabs in Taiwan. They have a fab in Shanghai and Nanjing which I believe is both not their leading-edge process and to supply the mainland market. [1]

From what I've heard they have no interest in moving their closely guarded leading-edge processes out of Taiwan, and this is probably a domestic fab for supplying the military with on US soil.

Does this have any advantages over using plain wireguard? WG operates purely over UDP and doesn't respond unless you send it packets with an authorized key, so it's essentially the VPN and port knocking all in one.
Cryptonomicon’s the only one of his four books I’ve read that I thought held up for the whole length. Anathem was interesting but spent too much time treading water, then fizzled out. The Diamond Age was one of my favorite first thirds of a sci-fi book that ended up being one of the most frustrating books I’ve finished. I’ve rarely been angry at a book but that one did it, so, that’s something I guess. I’ve read an actual book of Sumerian texts in translation so my Can Tolerate Boring cred is legit, but the mythology sections of Snow Crash—which are a lot of the book—were a real slog. Cryptonomicon? Consistent and fine throughout, and even has a real ending that might have been thought out from near the beginning.
