More software outsourcing to places where the work can be done cheaper.
Now that wfh is becoming common, companies will start to realize that if most of their employees are working remotely, then they might as well hire from cheaper cities or countries.

That's one of the big complications with ripping Blu-Ray discs. Even once you've broken the copy protection it's a guessing game what's played when. Also why VLC still doesn't have menu support.
Low-code software solutions like Airtable and Monday. They're finally entering the mainstream and gaining widespread adoption.
How do you distinguish an attacker who has compromised your username and password from a hard drive failure on your laptop that made you lose the client certificate? In both cases you (or the attacker) have the username and password, but not the client certificate. They can upload a new CSR just as well as you, but at that point it's theater.

This is the main problem any such solution has to solve (IMO) to be better than the hodgepodge of 2FA methods that we currently have. Humans are fallible and will likely not maintain proper backups and such.
This plan is rather misleading. You're buying energy from the same grid, but paying a markup to say it's coming from solar and wind. Say the company generates 100Wh of solar, 100Wh of wind and 200Wh of natural gas. Bill buys the 50/50 solar and wind plan and "buys" 100Wh of solar and 100Wh of wind at a marked up rate. Charlie buys the normal plan and gets his energy from the remaining sources. If a meteor hits the gas plant at night, Bill's electricity is still going out.

California still generates 45% of its energy from fossil fuels. And another 10% from nuclear which some don't consider renewable. Solar and wind account for 21% of electricity generation: https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/califo....
Related to this, every security team I’ve ever interacted with barely knows how to work a computer and mostly operates off of commercially purchased scanning tools and security agents.

My theory is that security is the least desirable part of the entire software engineering stack - it’s boring, has a lot of blame and liability potential, and it’s a cost center. Heck at least infrastructure folks get to brag about things like cost optimizations.

As a result it seems to me that security attracts the kind of people who view it as a way to wear a digital uniform and badge.

That's pretty cool, I wonder what your $/kwh would jump to with battery storage… probably a significant jump compared to 1.7 cents/kwh over the lifetime (esp consider degradation of electrochemical batteries over charging cycles)

SolarReserve bid under 5 cents/kwh in Chile in 2017 for a grid scale 24/7 CSP/molten salt storage system… we'd probably need a safer way to transport molten salt tanks from high Irradiance areas to local grids to give 5 cents/kwh for most people though.

> What's the best study to change my mind?

Freakonomics is a pop-Econ book that’s all about behavioral economics and really mainstreamed much of the field when it came out. There’s lots of methodological issues with individual studies but it’s a good primer on how to think like an economist.

> The relationship between ideology and social science theory is pretty much intractable, IMO.

It’s really not. But I’m not really sure that’s a productive avenue to go down so I’m going to leave it.

> The point about social scientists being aware of the limitations around generalizability.... Again, I totally disagree. A non generalizable theory is a just so story, or punditry. Social scientists claim (or at least imply) generalizability, usually. Non generalizability is a retreat in the face of criticism.

No. Caveating the limitations of any particular study or finding is simply an exercise in humility about what is known and what is uncertain. “Limits of generalizability” doesn’t mean it’s non-generalizable. It just means it’s not infinitely generalizable time all circumstances. Punditry is the opposite of that.

I’m starting to have trouble following what you believe “theory” means if you’re interpreting it in these ways.

> IRL, an education in social science, at graduate level, at highly regarded schools, across social science disciplines... is training on how to string together an argument/analysis which generalizes theory, typologies, and whatnot. That is what social science is, in practice.

Ah, training on how make an argument and do analysis is the core of what academics is. I have no idea what “generalizes theory and whatnot” is supposed to mean. Most of the work people actually do is looking into case studies and comparing them against each other, doing metaanalysis on a variety of studies, or doing empirical research or hypothesis testing on a particular situation or an interesting data set. There are some groundbreaking works that manage to piece these together into grand theories, but that’s a small minority to what social scientists actually do. The lions share is just looking into “what happens to Y when X changes?”

I’m actually going to turn this back around on you. Human beings are complex and society is even moreso. I would argue that an education in hard STEM fields leaves their practitioners incapable of coping with uncertainty, evaluating the quality of evidence, or understanding how to make reasonable inferences in the face of ambiguity. The implication that theories, to be useful, must be infinitely generalizable regardless of extenuating circumstances or that outcomes much be 100% certain to be valid shows this tendency. But these assumptions aren’t actually congruent with how the real world works. The real world is messy, and collected data in it even moreso. Being able to speak about it requires a certain level of judgement and capacity for discrimination that lets you cut through the fog of ambiguity. Rather than weaknesses, these are the skills that social science equips people with.
> Users seem overall to be quite satisfied with what they are getting from their iPhones. So your claim here appears to be empirically false.

A lack of reduction in observable demand doesn't imply an absence of cost.

Let's say the cost of having a singular app store for the user can be expressed as 99$, but the average utility they derive from using their iPhone is valued at 100$. It would be rational for that user to still prefer iPhone despite incurring great cost and we wouldn't see any drop in demand.

> Certainly every large corporation in the tech industry is. They all do these things; they just don't all do them with an app store.

That is appeal to tradition. Indeed, monopolistic nature of tech combined with vertical integration is a large unsolved problem of our era and it haven't completely played out yet.

Why China Bullies
15 mobile launchers which the US spends a ton of satellite time tracking anything that looks like one. There are 1152 warheads just on the current US SSBN. They would target anything that even looks like a launcher. Assuming half are on Atlantic patrol, that is still 576 warheads. 15 real targets and 561 guesses. The odds are pretty good.

As to the subs the latest China sub is the type 094 which cannot reach the continental US with their current load of JL-2 (7200km) in their current patrol zone. Also they are pretty noise and easily tracked. JL-3 (9000KM) are not in wide service.

The US has a further 10600 or so warheads on ICBM. China’s total count is around 400.

The logical game theory response is for the US to go full nuclear day 0. That is what every general and every theorist in the pentagon will advise the president. I am not saying it’s a good idea, but the logic is sound if you except the fact that the US would be unwilling to allow the dollars position to be challenged.

The leadership of China is pretty damn smart and they know this. I applauded them in playing the long game, something which the last few American governments have forgotten how to do. Our inability to think long term will bring us down, not China.

It's not well-known, but the British tracked the Germans down to the unit level using radio transmission triangulation, and plotted their positions across Europe on giant maps. Even without decrypting signals, they knew a great deal.

The Germans were the first army to have radio on every vehicle, sometimes 3 for higher ranks. It was handy on the go, but leaked intelligence like a sieve when stationary for days, and the Germans were overconfident in its secrecy.

The British were warned of air raids even before takeoff because German pilots followed a procedure of testing their radio on the ground.

The mastermind behind the British effort built a similar system, but global, for the US, after WW2.

SR-71 flights initially used radios, but since Russian "trawlers" were tracking the broadcasts, later flights, including multiple refuelings, were done in radio silence.

I have my backup codes in a file that's encrypted using a key derived from a passphrase that's over 50 characters long (not the same passphrase used for my password manager), that I've memorized. It's stored in cloud storage, on an account created just for that purpose. The account is protected with a (different) password that I've also memorized, and that account doesn't have any kind of MFA on it.

Since access only requires 1) internet access, 2) a common, publicly-available decryption program, and 3) stuff in my brain, I can gain access to it under pretty much any situation where I'd need access to it.

A potential downside is that if I ever had to access and decrypt the file on hardware I don't trust, I'd have to revoke and re-issue all my backup codes, and come up with a new long passphrase to protect the new file, which is a huge pain to do.

This is of course not perfect security, but I think it's fine for my purposes and threat model.
Aside: it'd be cool to have a tool that could find the discussion you referenced in your first sentence. I wonder if Algolia is working on something in the space of topical search.
We used to think that way about oceans: they’re essentially infinite so don’t worry about overfishing, and since the solution to pollution is dilution we can use the “infinite” oceans for that. This was 50–100 years ago and here we are.

It's an unhelpful generalisation. There are many jobs that could come under "Security people" and they work under different requirements.

Whatever you do, don't end up spending 6 months building something and miss out on 6 months of comission-free sales.

Anything self-hosted is going to need a fair bit of configuration and looking after - eg. even for the simplest of the them (Wordpress/Woocommerce), you'll need time to install and configure, updates come out ever few days, you'll have log files to monitor and keep tidy, a server to keep secure, etc. If you're doing 25-100 sales/day, do you have time for that? Wouldn't that time be better spent on increasing sales?

(depends on your goal obviously... is it to sell more? or have a fun toy to tinker with?)

Excellent, excellent journalism. My takeaways:

1) The Canadian government has more holes in it than swiss cheese. The level of detail leaked to the public in this one article makes a mockery of the Canadian government's attempts to keep things confidential.

2) The gunman really wanted to be a cop and seems to have possibly obtained the ability to do cop-like things by providing information about criminal organizations in canada (Hells Angels)

3) The gunman appears to have been wired $400,000 by the Mounties in relation to this work.

4) At some point he lost his mind and killed a bunch of people for some reason, and the Mounties are saying that they had nothing to do with this guy, despite the evidence that he was paid $400,000 on surveillance camera by a source that can likely only be the Mounties.
I think it’s safe to say the CPU architecture of the Mac is orthogonal to future restrictions Apple may put in place on MacOS (other than at the EFI level). Not to say that they won’t make the mistake of locking down MacOS to an iOS level in the future, but x86 has never inhibited nor does ARM specifically enable such a move for the OS.
Too much confidence in predictions is also a problem in current day deep neural nets. They would try to make their probability estimates close to 0 or 1, even for uncertain cases.
That’s obviously a straw man argument. It’s the same reason you don’t connect a windows XP embedded system to the internet.

I'll be getting hair loss ads for a while now, but it looks like a fun activity. I was aware of orienteering as a skill, but not as a sport, and wasn't aware of rogaining at all. Since I'm often up all night anyway and love being in nature during those hours, it sounds like my kind of thing.

That's not the point. On this particular sub-thread we're discussing his research. You said he has fringe views. I'm just saying that it does not disqualify his research per se.

Otherwise, I have no background or in fact interest about whether or not Steve Hsu was a good VP of research and innovation. The reason given for why he's being fired for this position has nothing to do with his performance, good or bad, and has everything to do with his research. Since he his tenured, they can't fire him for his research, so they found an other way to punish him. That's low.

He withdrew a huge amount of money, in a manner that is only used by CIs and agents. From the article:

> A Mountie familiar with the techniques used by the force in undercover operations, but not with the details of the investigation into the shooting, says Wortman could not have collected his own money from Brink’s as a private citizen.

and

> “When you come into my branch and you want a ton of cash, then I say, you gotta give us a couple of days. We put in our Brink’s order, I order the money through Brink’s, then when the money arrives, you come back into the branch, I bring you into a back room and I count the money out for you,” the banking expert said. “Sending someone to Brink’s to get the money? I’ve never heard of that before. The reason is, if I’m the banker, and you’ve deposited your savings in my bank branch, I’m responsible for making sure the money goes to the right person. If you want this money, I’m going to verify your identity and document that. I can’t do that if I’m transferring the money to Brink’s.”

It's solid evidence that this guy is connected to the RCMP in some manner.

Beyond the technical challenges, have you considered:
- All the little tax issues for various countries/states
- Security in processing payments, avoiding fraud and protecting customer data
- Integrating payment processing for credit card companies, Payp et al. and NOT having to deal with constant “account freezes” due to stolen credit card payments, customer complaints etc.

For selling software, I user Fastspri and not having to deal with all those things made a huge difference. We still had our fair share of annoying problems, but if you start digging around what other “self-hosted” businesses have to deal with...

In a sense, we had a more complicated case as the product keys were generated upon purchase and sent immediately - hence there was no manual/physical interaction from our end with orders...
