This article misses the fundamental way in research is funded. The US Government funds research through grants, and each scientist runs thier own little shop doing independent research... The problem is this isn't a directed research program.

The Manhattan Project, Space Race, etc had program managers telling scientists what problems to solve and had other scientists building the architecture, identifying gaps, and running parallel experiments. It was about the individual scientist it was about the program - so we had Feynman running computer simulations.

There was an end goal and people took less interesting, but necessary, jobs to move the project forward. Also, results were expected - not papers, but actual results to problems.
Likely that the cost/benefit isn't there for such a system if you're a smaller pub.

An MVP Implementation would require Something to determine if a key was stolen. Let's just imagine it's something that keeps a Key tied to a given Order number, and can mark a key as invalid if there's a chargeback on the order.

You probably need another subsystem to periodically re-check the key if you weren't already doing that.

You'll also need additional CS / PR staff to deal with the eventual case of people who bought keys complaining and blowing your company up on Social media.

Pulling numbers out of the air, I'd guess that this would add 50-100k to the overall budget of the game. Possibly a high number but I'm assuming at least one additional staff member would be required to deal with the potential fallout of such a move.

But even then the catch rate would be limited; within the first 1-3 months it will likely be cracked anyway and your protection mechanism will be meaningless to the people who really want to steal your software. Assuming your thieves buy the keys day 1, it would likely take a good 2-3 months for the chargeback to happen...
How about just providing a link to an actual payload (with example data)? And within the installed application, providing the ability to review all the data that was recorded and set?
This issues isn't endemic to websockets. I've done this with iframes as well to portscan machines on my LAN. Additionally, the portscan capabilities are even worse than the article states: you can scan any machine reachable from the visitor's machine. Any 192.* address, anything behind your VPN, so long as the time for actively refusing the connection and failing to route are different. I don't know if you can time connections to known hosts to infer things about Tor circuits.

Simply call Date.now() when adding the iframe and when that iframe's onerror event fires then diff the two. I think you can do this with img tags, frames, and anything backed by a network call that lets you observe load failures.

CORS doesn't save you because you aren't trying to reach into that iframe and run Javascript or access the DOM. A CSP doesn't save you because the site you're visiting is opting to do this and can put whatever they want in their CSP.
Says the people who elect the people who make laws. Confer GDPR.
Yeah, you definitely raise some good points here.

When the people lose faith in those in power due to perceived capricious or opaque behavior there tends to be a lot of civil disorder.

I would be really interested in figuring out how to combat "perceived opaque behavior" especially when the source of the complaints is more artificial, where the complaints are being used as a tool for manipulating the community rather than being based in an actual grievance.

That's the reality you run into sometimes, like that oft-used quote from the Batman movies "Some men just want to watch the world burn."
This is cool! What tech/service are you using to handle accepting payments & paying out to event creators? To my knowledge you can't use stripe for things like this (though maybe I'm wrong)

You're right, it has been bastardized.

I tend to agree, but I'm not sure that the buyers are suckers. Technically the people who sell pickaxes to gold miners are in way better shape than the gold mine owners. But we can't have 100% pickaxe salesman, someone actually has to mine the gold.
Is there a bias for attributing incidents to situation over personality a bias as well? Aka is the opposite bias existent?
Unfortunately, I suspect support in most of the U.S. for mass transit has just taken a massive dive, since nobody wants to be in close contact with other people any more. I wonder how long that will take to wear off?

My personal observation over the years is congestion is the only thing forcing many people to obey traffic laws. Weekend drivers aren't worse per se, just untethered.
I wonder if this could be used to grab more sensitive data from apps that support browser extensions (e.g. from password managers that use websockets to communicate with browser extensions).

“A lot of [TI’s] graphing calculator success was due to really aggressive lobbying for certain policies,” a source in the education space told The Hustle. “They made it so that that the types of things you were allowed to bring into a test were essentially limited to their devices.”

And this step might be the reason why they do this now to make it impossible to cheat by using them with custom software. It provides them an argument why students can continue to use them on the tests.
So the small landowners will get a little money.

Nextdoor's revenue model is 100% fear-based. That's why there is an advert for ADT or Ring at the top of every feed, every day. That's why crime posts are distributed to your whole city while general posts default to your neighborhood.
It's important to point out that rust-analyzer uses some bleeding edge features of the protocol, so sometimes certain things won't work as well in editors other than vscode. That being said, I believe the rust-analyzer author has indicated that he would fix that up to use more standard features if rust-analyzer becomes the officially recommended IDE backend.

Are you sure you're not reinventing HTML+CSS?

Besides I think we shouldn't ignore the possibility that programming is highlighted too much. I'm not entirely convinced using many coloured syntax highlighting is any clearer than just well use white-space and highlighting keywords comments and strings (the latter two because they aren't part of the regular flow, the former because they heavily influences the flow of the program).
> Relative to your peers. If it clear things up.

I already understood that that's what you meant. It doesn't change anything I said.
Presumably there are fewer accidents when there is gridlock.

There is no / minimal gridlock right now.
I don't have a problem with this. If asked I will submit a crash dump. If it shows me what is being sent. That's common courtesy. Opt-in information is absolutely fine.

Being unable to opt out and the default being opt-in is what is unacceptable.
The world can take production facilities and resource processing to other countries, boycot trade with China, change the postal union paperwork to no longer list China as a third would country and make it pay for its own shipping. The world then needs to invest heavily in the poor countries that China has been investing in for years to balance their power.

This will probably make most luxury items unattainable for anyone but the upper class, will set back worldwide trading several decades, cause economic collapse across many industries and might spark the invasion of Taiwan.

Politicians know that taking action against China will only hurt them and their voters in the end. We've let China become too powerful because it made our lives easier and now it's too late to take proper action.

The only way I see to prevent the chinede government from overthrowing Hong Kong is through a coup d'etat or a new world war. The Uyghur concentration camps are a lot easier to ignore than the risk of global nuclear destruction, so it'll probably never happen.

An even weaker nation when it comes to economic influence, Russia, has been free to attack and invade Ukraine without much more than a slap on the wrist and some fines. No UN actions, no NATO standing ready to fight any future invasions.

Eventually empires like China are toppled when powerful people in the ruling class are divided. We won't see it happen within out lifetimes, but in a hundred years or so things will be different again.
But those are both facts - less people are driving, but if you do drive you're more likely to be in an accident. Are those conclusions? Would a presentation of facts just be the data itself?
I think it all depends on which location you are in. My location has been great especially during this time and people are offering help and also giving away food for the less abled.Also the other day there was something that sounded like gunshots, police were called and I found out it was nothing bad on nextdoor first than my local news site or twitter.
Whilst TUF absolutely does help with some of the cases in the paper and generally, it's important to notice that at least one of the scenarios in the paper may not be covered by solutions like TUF.

I'm thinking of the scenario where a bad actor takes over an existing library with the original owner's blessing, either by contributing and then taking on maintainership, or via payment to the original owner.

In that case ownership of signing keys may transition to the new owners voluntarily, so there would be no noticable change, in terms of signing of packages.
I wonder if it’s interesting to collect a ton of article and compare them for similarity and where they deviate. So you get an article that shows agreement and deviation.
I think the biggest problem with the modern media is that all stories are reported at "equal volume." Any tidbit the media has to fill time is headlined as if it were the most important thing currently happening in the world. There's no moderation of tone or consideration for reporting an accurate overall view of the world.

It's both interesting that traffic deaths are down overall and that deaths are up per mile traveled. But I would argue that they are not anywhere near equally important news. The total lowering of traffic deaths is news. The increase in deaths per mile is an interesting bit of trivia relevant to few people and should be reported as such.

This has been especially bad with something as nuanced and data-driven as COVID. Any new number or stat gets a headline even if it has zero meaning in the grand scheme of things. I've seen news sites with two stories on the same page simultaneously proclaiming that there's no evidence that there is immunity to COVID while also proclaiming that a vaccine trial was successful.
It is definitely possible to have reasonable debate where both sides are presented equally.

But ruling out absurd ideas is incredibly important.

If you want to present a discussion on "Selecting sides for the news: How much restriction is too much?" Should the sides be "Industry consensus vs societal consensus" or should you make sure that the "Any censorship is intellectual theft and every news outlet must comply with individual requests for people to state their positions on the topic" side is treated the same as the first two?
Wasn't that what people were predicting would happen in the summer since the beginning? And then probably with a rebound in autumn/next winter.
Hard times can make hard people. You don't know what someone is capable of until they're backed against a wall. I was a computer repair man until my parent's divorce and the 2008 market collapse which forced me into a CS degree.
"The roads are safer" is not true. It's more dangerous to drive right now. There is no sense in either of these stories which it's safer to be on the roads.

Something like "the roads are killing fewer drivers" would be true.
Was it telemetry that showed Microsoft that users wanted ads in their OS and that they wanted their computer to automatically update and restart?

There are tons of examples of this (my local car dealership is running a deal on getting your car detailed right now). It seems odd that you picked probably the least egregious example possible, a company selling face masks.
> will they work as hard to save you?

Yes.
as someone who's worked a lot with LabVIEW and automating some considerably old instruments...i hate it i hate it i hate it. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns, most every paradigm I know is wrong in this bizarro-land willy-wonka very proprietary and very expensive IDE. Not a fan. Not worth the opportunity cost of not learning other languages that are useful in society. Its the school of thought it subscribes to, the way things are designed just makes zero sense. Learning something that makes you unlearn the right way to learn a way that only works with one company's MATLAB-priced software, is no fun at all.
It's possible there will be a shift from offices dedicated to a certain company to offices where anyone can pop in. You still get the social experience, although you do lose the ability to have in-person meetings with your actual coworkers. The upside is that people get more freedom.

I'm pretty sure the comment you are replying to is talking about the group/company/person that runs the bundle. They ask for 20,000 keys, sell 150 legitimately, and then sell the rest of the 20,000 on the gray/black market. Reselling a key you bought legitimately isn't the issue here AFAICT.
No, but I would do a half hour commute for it. For some people I'm sure remote works great, but it's not for me, and I am fine with paying higher rents in order to live close to the office and have a short commute.
People who have experienced multiple varations of WFH know that this is true. You can have all colocated or remote-first, but adding flexibility for any other varations means someone is a second-class employee and more work for them. It's not imposssible; plenty of companies are blended, but it's not ideal.
> There are roughly two views on moderators. Moderators think that moderators are the thin green line protecting the ordinary users from a handful of bad actors, letting them live in blissful ignorance of the awful things that are happening.

You can also split moderation along another axis, dividing on whether moderators are curators or janitors.

The janitorial view would be that moderators should be generally hands-off, acting only in clear-cut cases of abuse or spam. The community does or should mostly run itself through social norms, and heavy-handed moderation is unnecessarily and unfairly restrictive.

The curation view is that moderators serve an active role in building the community, and they should generally act strongly to define and preserve community norms. The community is the moderators' space first, and a free space second if at all.

oh no! why are you getting downvoted?!

ive been banging on about the subjective nature of "facts" on HN for a while now. perhaps a parable from the movie Charlie Wilson's War will help:

A boy is given a horse on his 14th birthday. Everyone in the village says, “Oh how wonderful.” But a Zen master who lives in the village says, “We'll see.” The boy falls off the horse and breaks his foot. Everyone in the village says, “Oh how awful.” The Zen master says, “We'll see.” The village is thrown into war and all the young men have to go to war. But, because of the broken foot, the boy stays behind. Everyone says, “Oh, how wonderful.” The Zen master says, “We'll see.”

This is far too much power for the govt or healthcare industry to have over people. A lot of people won't know they need to opt-out, and the opt-out can be, or become, very burdensome.

I know you want to stop wasting valuable organs from dead people that could go to help living people - and I do too! I just don't want people to lose agency over their own lives and body parts.

Then there are the wicked, amoral, heartless people - like me - who think people should be free to sell their organs if they want to. I would personally sell any of my organs (after I'm dead) for $1 each. But as a form of protest against the current system, I won't ever willingly donate them.

I hope you'll reconsider.
I don't see where they sell that?

Also tbh I for this type of site I prefer real valid people than anonymous people. People being anonymous generates more noise than anything, take 4chan or reddit for example.
My guess is that the TOS and PP are separated and offer different levels of disclosure based on "use"... For instance, going to ND.com is PP, using the service you agree to X,Y,Z...

Yes, and we all knew this was coming...then. In the events of the past few months, however, the UK appealed to China to keep their word, and the response that this was no longer a British concern. So we know they intend to do whatever they can.

Another "bad actor" here. I think that it's a combination of two phenomena:

* I have accounts not just here, but also at places like Lobsters and Something Awful. In those places, because accounts are rare and can be banned so easily, discourse is constantly trying to stay much more civil than here or Reddit.

* As a former community moderator, I don't respect moderation actions on sites where anonymous signup is allowed. You asked for hoi polloi to wander in off the street and give their opinions; you can't then wonder why discourse is trash. Here, it's even worse; the moderators are paid for their work, which lends a clear bias to every moderation action. Similar happenings on Reddit led directly to user protests and revolts, and it's amazing that the community tolerates paid moderation here.

The idea of the well-tended garden is a potent one. I have had to tolerate obviously toxic but helpful people before and it is always irritating to not ban them, despite knowing that they are good for the garden.

This comes up from time to time as a counter argument to opt-out, and it makes me sick.

That ER doc you're talking about has spent their entire life working their fingers to the bone to help others. They are beyond committed and passionate about saving every possible life, even when it's detrimental to their own health.

To suggest they might not work hard to save someone right in front of them is insulting and horrible.

The nix author created utility called patchelf which is used by nix all the time during the build (to rewrite library paths).

Are you more likely to be in an accident? Or are you more likely to be in an accident with a fatality?

It seems like heavy rush-hour traffic is prone to creating a large number of accidents with a low total number of fatalities. When I drive around now, I believe the risk of accident per mile is significantly lower (city dweller used to typically packed city roads), but due to higher speeds, I can’t make the same claim about lower fatality risk.
“Safer” is an opinion or analysis. “There are fewer fatal car accidents overall” and “There are more Fatal accidents per mile driven.” are facts.
