I would phrase it more as "there is no margin of error in cryptography".

In machine learning, a model that works 90%, 95% of the time is pretty good.

A glitchy video game can still be fun as long as the glitches don't happen too often or cause a loss of too much progress.

Even a filesystem that doesn't lose most people's data, most of the time, will have a lot of adherents.

But if your cryptography implementation isn't completely perfect, it's frequently just 100% useless for its intended purpose.
All the big browser attacks require exploit chains, and this is a component for creating an exploit chain. The best exploit chains can go all the way from a web page's JS to complete root access (this was achieved on Chromebooks at one point in the last couple years, using webassembly as one of the hops in the chain)

As far as I know, SMplayer is based off of mplayer which uses ffmpeg under the hood, just like VLC. The most serious vulnerabilities would be present on both (although I think this exploit is VLC specific).
>Graveyard orbits comprise paths at least 300 kilometers above the geosynchronous region, giving the zombie spacecraft room to have their orbits incrementally ground down by the gravity of the sun and moon.

Why is the graveyard orbit higher than the orbit for operating satellites? Doesn't that mean when the orbit eventually decays, that the satellite will eventually fall back into the orbit where all the operating satellites are?
> While that may sound reasonable initially, that means that nearly all of the amazing services we have would be impossible from a business perspective.

Is that not the point of pursuing this train of thought? You aren't going to get businesses that have honest transactions with customers when such dishonest practices are allowed and generate enormous profits.

There is an ongoing dispute between Australia and China and the motivation is most likely to drum up support for how the government is dealing with China (not explicitly blaming China is in fact loudly yelling IT WAS CHINA to anyone following the current narrative). There is also a chance it is to start blaming others for the shoddy National Broadband Network that the ruling party is responsible for and might be becoming a bigger issue with COVID-19 making more people aware of the problems, due to work and schools needing teleconferencing, and streaming services lowering quality to cope with the load.
I've become a big fan of systemd timers over cron jobs.

The command itself is separated out into a service with all the isolation and journalling features of a service.

You're able to test the command and know 100% it will run with the exact same environment.

You can choose to disable a timer and invoke the service manually.

You can setup alternate or multiple timers for the same call.

It supports all the timing options of cron and expands them.

You can explicitly state cron job ordering and dependencies. I've seen too many systems where the system is only fully up after several @reboot cron jobs start in some unspecified order.

Don't worry about syslog going anywhere. Journald's scope is defined at providing journalling for standard out and standard error of services. In the past this output was typically sent to /dev/null or a custom log file and if you didn't bother to specify then maybe your system would be configured to send throw it away or pipe it to a file or send it to syslog.

With systemd/journald, it is collecting only standard out and standard error. It holds it in a rotating journal, and then forwards everything to syslog for any actual log management and persistence.

What I'm seeing in the NY state capital is that the stuff that was out of stock early on like toilet paper, paper towels, kleenex, flour, etc. returned some times ago, but seems to still be rationed to one or two per person per day. I don't find this to be a hardship, but I don't shop for a big family.

However, I just saw packets of yeast for sale again. That was the last thing that I had trouble finding.

But take my observations with a grain of salt, because part of my response (and maybe others) to COVID is that I haven't felt like shopping around much; I mostly just go to one store and make do with what's there.

I'll give my opinion on this based on the two VPNs I've used: TunnelBear and Private Internet Access. Yes... LTT pointed me to them.

Reason for TunnelBear: independent audit. They had had an audit that went through their system and, at least how I understood it, confirmed what they had said they were doing.

Reason for PIA: they had a history of being questioned by authorities and providing nothing - because they had nothing.

The latter is why I continue to trust Apple more than Google, too.

> One way that Hey could have gone, Schiller says, is to offer a free or paid version of the app with basic email reading features on the App Store then separately offered an upgraded email service that worked with the Hey app on iOS on its own website. Schiller gives one more example: an RSS app that reads any feed, but also reads an upgraded feed that could be charged for on a separate site. In both cases, the apps would have functionality when downloaded on the store.

Comments by Apple executive, Phil Schiller[1].

Is this not an agreeable solution?

It's a separate debate that Apple may be charging exorbitant fees for App Store distribution when there is no competition and one that needs to be addressed, but I think this is a decent workaround, Apple is saying you can put stuff on the App Store and if it has a free version with functionality then we don't charge you for it. Otherwise, we do.

I think the negative reaction to your earlier comment comes from your mis-use of the term entropy. A static ip, for purposes of tracking you as an individual, has very, very little entropy (in fact, none) . High entropy would be a dynamic IP that is refreshed from a large pool very often.

Additionally, very few ISPs assign static IPs anymore, not unless you pay 5x the price for a business account. Trackers, by and large, don't really pay much attention to IP, since much more reliable metrics have been implemented. Sure, it probably is used to a small extent, but there are much more effective steps that can be taken.

For document-oriented stuff, you can serve HTML or plain text. For data-oriented stuff, I think that it is not so wrong to serve JSON, CSV, RDF, SQLite database, or whatever format it is, although such things should not be hidden from the user (especially if scripts are disabled); this is independent of whether or not there is also a HTML version of the data (if so, the HTML could be generated either ahead of time or on demand; which is best may depend on the situation).

Or, you know, people are just going to buy from closer to home. Smaller businesses are very motivated to find new markets, and distributors need to fill demand.

Likely to let these satellites not interfere with the operational satellites right now, and for many decades? Also, the higher the orbit, the more room it has, and the longer it takes to fall from it onto the planet.

Maybe we'll be collecting these satellites after these few decades pass, and use them for something.

I think placement in the App Store should be considered not in terms of credit card fees but more like placement on the shelves of a supermarket.

I don’t know the economics of supermarkets but I do know it’s not just cost+. Sellers have to buy display space, participate in promotions, etc etc - all on top of the cost of the actual goods.

I’m too lazy to look it up but I wouldn’t be surprised if the gross margin in the App Store is in the same region as for non essential supermarket goods.

At Geostationary distances, there is so little in the way of atmospheric molecules that orbits will not decay over a geological time scale.

It's very different in terms of atmospheric drag compared to orbits under 1500km.

> well that speed changed already much earlier

Your comment is a bit self-contradictory and muddled. That is, we're talking about the herd immunity threshold under baseline behavior; what percentage of the population needs to have been infected to result in infections decaying with original behaviors.

The point I was making is that it seems like case counts are decaying much quicker in regions with high seropositivity than other regions with similar regulations and similar empirical measures of mobility. This would imply that under current conditions even the modest immunity reached seems to make a bigger difference than naive assumptions about immunity and resulting Rt imply.

We already know that contact networks are not uniform (source: duh); further, individual susceptibility apparently varies significantly (from genetic studies). These factors significantly change the percentage that must be organically infected to reach herd immunity.

It's worth noting that this difference has both optimistic and pessimistic implications. Optimistic: regions that have high seropositivity are more likely to have the worst behind them. Pessimistic: the amount of vaccination to have equal effect probably far out-strips current seropositivity rates, because it can't effectively be targeted based upon susceptibility and network structure.

Well, 30% isn’t their margin. It’s their gross revenue. Calculating the margin would require knowing their hosting / development costs for the App Store ecosystem.
I’ve been a happy Fastmail user for years, but in a recent thread Announcing Hey, it was alleged that fastmail will recycle your email address after you stop paying them, and that it’s a common attack to try to register old fastmail addresses and try to use them to access services.

This contrasts with Hey which will forward your old hey.com address to another address after you stop paying, and not make it available to future customers.

Google says there are 2 billion web sites. Each one may consist of a huge number of web pages (see wikipedia.org).

I don't see how this is a decent or agreeable workaround. Hey is a paid email service that comes with an @hey.com email address. Either they have to start giving those addresses out for free (a significant change in Hey's business model), or they need to support connecting to an IMAP provider in the app (presumably they don't currently support this, so it would be a significant amount of extra engineering to support non-paying users). Perhaps if they could just throw in a calculator or something as the free version.
So, in order to provide a (paid) advertising & tracking-free email service, they also have to provide a generic email app for advertising & tracking-based email services like Google?
