It's already possible for a website to get your browser to download illegal content simply by visiting the page, and expose your IP in the process to whoever they want. You don't even need to use JavaScript to do the downloading (just a image or video tag, for example), and the uploading can be done with xmlhttprequest/fetch.

It's better when companies and managers are honest about the nature of the employment relationship.
Football teams at a certain scale can be self-sustaining PR machines. Take Manchester United or Real Madrid: they largely make enough money to stay afloat and competitive, while at the same time opening a lot of doors for their owners/controllers. Man United is even an actual profit generator for its owners.

I think a bunch of those flashy oil-money acquisitions that were seen as wasteful, will eventually be recognised as a decent diversifying strategy in sectors where barriers to entry are very high. The Emirates airline was initially seen as a white elephant, but it kickstarted the Dubai hub and was, overall, a pretty strategic move.

Imagine that this tool could give the attackers access to several primary sources (realdonaldtrump, POTUS, whitehouse) along with a couple news outlets such as Fox News. It would be possible to quickly stir up social unrest and start a lot of local skirmishes that'd take some time to deal with.

And, with conspiracy theorists, imagine the consequences of Trump's account tweeting a distress message that he was attacked and replaced by a clone controlled by QAnon.

I'm happy whoever did this wanted money.
Thats just not how it works for me. I have watched 20 reviews of air rifles a few days ago, and my YT start page doesn't really reflect that at all...

I have used YT since 2006 and sure, the recommendations are shit, but thats because they are LESS personalized than they used to be.
Sometimes you don't want a video view to count for anything in your personalization, and other times you probably will.
Imo. It should be based on your subscriptions and what other who view those generally watch. But it seems like youtube is going away from subscriptions and channels and into a scheme where they pick the content they want to feed you with (Start page prioritizes "random" videos instead of your subscribed channels etc.)

Again I don't understand what the big deal is here, should youtube plaster my start page with pop music and make up tutorials that they know I will never watch?

I was full time on linux at a previous job where the company used Exchange. I tried davmail (for email, calendar, contacts), a combination of exchange imap + tbsync for contacts, calendar etc, but they all seemed a little flaky at best. The solution i settled on was Gnome's evolution. It was really seamless and everything worked just as well as using the Outlook app on windows/app. I went through the Gnome Online Accounts integration but you can add the account from within evolution as well.

I really like Thunderbird, but if you need to use exchange and are on linux I think there isn't a nicer option than Evolution at the moment. It plays nice with all MS services and integrates with the OS for contacts, calendar etc.

Ofcourse all of this only applies if you are using Linux and its possible evolution is annoying on non gnome systems (i haven't tried it outside of gnome). I think kmail also has exchange support but i haven't tried it.

The title for this post is misleading and should be changed. Minimum wage works can afford rent, just not at the (quite high) standards set in this study:

- no more than 30% of income on rent

- 40th percentile for rental prices in the location (a mere 10% away from the lake wobegon standard of making everyone above average)

Actually, this was a major point of API failure when I last tried to use it. Did you know that, with the current API, there's no way to retrieve the replies to a tweet? This makes it impossible to build tools that, say, allow you to visualize a tweet thread, because you simply can't fetch the thread.

So I'll say that, as a casual, social, and informational user of Twitter (i.e. not business, not adtech, not academia), this announcement gives me a little hope that we might see a resurgence in 3rd party apps that provide more powerful ways of interfacing with Twitter. At least, that's my hope, maybe I'm naive that they'd really allow this.

Heh. The severance package I got from NCC Group was 0 weeks of salary and 0 days of health benefits.

Seriously zero days. The HR person emphasized, in the meeting, that my health benefits were good through the rest of the month. Which came off sounding pretty tone-deaf, since that day was the 31st.

The text below that example says that the .html ought not to be there. That's clearly not intended to be part of what that example is demonstrating, but I guess it's just there because they were going for real world examples.

The arbitrary path hierarchy is not so bad. Better than every URI just being https://domainname.com/meaninglesshash. You can also stick a short prefix in front, like https://domainname.com/v1/money/1998/etc, so that all documents created after a reorg can use a different prefix. If your reorg is so severe that there's no way to keep access to old documents under their old URI, even if it has its own prefix, it seem unlikely they'll be made available in any other location. In that context you can imagine the article is imploring you "please don't delete access to old documents".

Your remaining objections, for host name and access, boil down to "don't use URIs at all, and don't bother to avoid changing them". As I type this comment I'm starting to realise that was your whole point, but it was a bit buried alongside minor objections to this particular example. It's also perhaps a bit of an extreme point of view. Referencing a git hash alongside a URI is sensible, but on its own it's pretty useless, and many web pages won't have anything analogous.
But that still means that the OP was mostly right: these people are untouchable, so they can steal with impunity.

Yep, the access controls are limited. Can't finely controls who can raise alerts to where for example, so it's not "enterprise" in a sense because enterprise is all about tightly controlling what the peons can view and do.

In my experience alerting often came down to some departments trying to push some shit to some other departments. I personally avoid working in monitoring/alerting for that reason, it's just human problems and dysfunctional organizations, nothing any tool can help with.
Absolutely correct. Saw it on the Gov't/Defense side of the house and in the civilian Enterprise sector.

To be blunt, the reason big firms get the contract is because we know where they live, we know they'll deliver something, even if it's utter dogshit, and we know they won't go out of business in 3 years, so if we need to support the build -- or just sue them -- then we know where to find them 36 months from now. The Big 4 may only bat .500 but I can bet against ~50%.

There is also a selection bias: no one has heard of the small-fry shops that fuck up, and when they do they can quietly re-brand, disappear, or dissolve. Anyone here ever get burned by YellowOps? Probably not. But everyone here has heard of KPMG...

Not only that, they went after the short sellers who were writing about it publicly.

> Germany's pursuit of short sellers began when Perring’s previously little-known outfit, called Zatarra Research, published its report about Wirecard.

> In March, just three months before Wirecard’s collapse, prosecutors dropped their case against Perring after he agreed to make a donation of an undisclosed sum to a charitable organization.

Finance watchdogs are archaeologist organizations when it comes to fraud, they come in after the fraud has blown up and sift through the evidence to see what happened. Between that, they are busy going after people with too little money to defend themselves mostly.

> In the workplace I've several times ran into the problem of "This is taking way too long," developing tools and methods to measure and drill down, then figure out if it can be improved upon or should be left as-is for now.

To play devil's advocate, someone with the word Senior in their title would probably have command of recognizing Big O issues, and skip the "this is taking too long" step, and code it efficiently the first time. This is industry dependent, as well, obviously. I've been doing low-latency C++ for 15+ years, and it's not really something you can compromise on.

The mistake, I think, is skipping otherwise good candidates because they don't immediately see these issues. We should put more emphasis on identifying these weaknesses and finding the right mentors to teach them up. We should be hiring more junior and mid level engineers, with the assumption that they will learn and be up to speed in a few years. This has been my approach to interviewing, but I'm often vetoed by other team members.
bringing E2E into core Thunderbird is an awesome development. Wish it happened 10 years ago.
Oops wrong number, 1GB a day, not 150MB.

Yes, it's not big. But that's all we need.
Sure, and in a lot of ways, I agree with you.

That said - I think my point still stands. This company wasn't storing data poorly, it was storing data in a format designed for its primary users - Clinicians/Therapists. It was also complying with all current legislation when the system was designed and implemented. (and I say this knowing full well the company had previously reported clinics where we knew of or suspected HIPAA violations)

When you're tiny (right around the 250 employee limit, mostly non-engineering) having to re-implement a system that's seen 9 years of development/bugfix/features is prohibitively expensive. At best, you're paused entirely on feature work while you do it, at worst you're re-introducing issues/bugs that have been fixed before and adding new ones.

But it's cool, because Google has all that fitbit data now and they totally wouldn't be interested in competing in this space. And we've all seen how effectively this law curbs malicious behavior of these large companies (read: Not at all).

So from my end - the result in this case was that a small company that sold no data at all, had no vested interest in marketing, and was previously complying with regulation went out of business.

Instead it was eaten by a much larger player in the field that was better positioned to absorb those costs (and which does make money by selling data). I'm hard pressed to see that as win.

---

So, all that said - I still think we agree more than we disagree. I'm not really upset GDPR exists. I'm upset that it's been mostly ineffective at curbing real abuses by large players, but that's not a problem with the law - it's a problem with its enforcement.

I also find it telling when the large players in the industry are in favor of regulation - It almost always means they expect it to reduce competition.
As more oil is freed up by reduced demand in transport, I wonder whether we will see more cheap plastic flooding our cities. People are switching to electric in part because they are keen to reduce their reliance on petrol (and its cost), but nobody is really moving away from plastic.
Look into EMDR.
Not only that, but the costs for frakking have become much lower in the US as oil companies have gotten better at cost control. The US’s generous bankruptcy system also makes it fairly straightforward for companies to shed debt and continue operating.

And unlike the Middle East, Low fossil fuel prices are a boon to the rest of the economy, so you don’t experience broad societal decay and upheaval due to low fossil fuel prices but instead higher stability.... This is why a diversified economy is so important because it reduces hysteresis losses in the case of sectoral interruptions.

I was thinking, that in a scary way, the psychiatric diagnosis for people investigating corruption in Russia or CCP does start to make sense.

It is such an extreme risk to go against these regimes, both to their and their relatives' safety and livelihoods that it makes their actions seem insane. Extreme risk-taking without regard for consequence, suicidal tendencies, paranoia towards the government, unbounded anxiety. At the same time, where they live – all of these are reasonable reactions of a thinking human being, consistent with their environment.

I want to stress, that this is more of an ironic observation. I admire the bravery of such people and I despise the current Russian regime, it was the biggest reason for my emigration.
I have js disabled by default for years now, mainly because for the type of content I randomly access, the percieved speed is a whole lot faster. E.g. I can start reading an article immediatly instead of waiting for content to stop jumping around or watching a spinner while a couple 100 kloc worth of js load an convert a bunch text in json to a bunch of text in html.

As an additional bonus I can get trough reading an entire article without newsletter signup modals being shoven down my throat.

For sites I use regularly and I as a user benefit from more interactivity not just the advertisers, I hit the toggle switch to activate js.

But I dont think this is a particularly popular or that common a perspectice. If it werent for fear of a SEO penalty the web would be much less usable without js activated.

As far as I can see, the only thing they've "added" was their own client applications. The connection limits and server locations are the same as Mullvad.

One thing that Mozilla does not offer yet, but Mullvad does, are Wireguard proxies. These are socks5 proxies run internally on every Wireguard server. Using these you can connect to another server, for example EU --> US, and achieve "multihopping".

Mozilla also seems to only offer the Wireguard protocol, but this doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

This looks great. Something I can’t tell from the demo: does it replicate Chrome devtools’ solution for avoiding performance issues when rendering huge collections? Chrome divides very long objects/arrays into subgroups of 100(?) items that you can expand individually.
A couple points to keep in mind, that make this a bit overblown:

(1) While COVID is a negative demand shock, but is likely rather temporary

(2) Non-COVID oil demand is declining, but is more of a melting glacier. Infrastructure-level energy operates on looooooong cycles due to immense cost. COVID doesn't change that.

(3) The recent misfortune of the fracking industry is likely less temporary. Demand is more likely to recover short term than supply.

2030 has perhaps become 2020, as the article suggests, but that doesn't mean 2022 will be what we thought 2032 will be. We can't just pretend we're all the sudden up the maturity curve with renewables just because demand dropped for a few months.
Intel has fabs but they don't make anything except Intel products. They tried a few years ago to set up a contract foundry business, but it didn't work out despite signing some big deals initially (Nokia).
It happened in Frankfurt (Hessen), not Bavaria, you're probably referring to the Gustl Mollath case -- which is eerily similar. You're right its not a systemic issue I think (I hope), but it sheds light on the role of psychiatric "experts" in court proceedings and how corruptible they can be in some cases.
Airbnb absolutely increases home prices. Many cities did decide to allow it, but only after owners broke local zoning intent, visitors became used to Airbnb availability, and cities became used to increased taxes. As with many recent changes, this is all great for everyone except those without assets.
I mean, the whole world is becoming increasingly 'top heavy', with economic growth going primarily to those who own stock. Just owning successful companies isn't more difficult than pumping money out of the ground - neither requires much nation building. And Saudi Arabian royalty has already been out for years investing in Silicon Valley - I think they're content to jump on the wagon of companies that are already successfully extracting money from the western middle class, rather than try to build up a middle class and well-functioning society of their own.
This. Many of the most water short areas grow water intensive crops and have droughts. Another thing is bureaucrats love droughts, you get extra money from the center for relief and it is a huge opportunity for corruption. There was even a book written on it called Everybody Loves a Good Drought, by P. Sainath, about his research findings of poverty in the rural districts of India.
That is a very good point :)

The figures are actually set per-patient. But that 42 as placeholder does seem odd. There are two lower thresholds that trigger before getting to that one. But I’ll flag it with the clinician regardless. Thank you.
Something to consider and also something not discussed in the article: it's very possible that sars-cov-2 can directly infect neurons directly considering the expression of ace2 receptors across them.

https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.07.030650v1

So beyond the risk of kidney failure stemming from damaged cardiovascular tissue debris jamming up nephrons (as well as potential direct kidney infection by the virus) and beyond the risk of stroke from the uptick of platelets and the redistribution of the marrow cells which produce them across the body (somehow. I can't find the research that identified this), there's also the risk that the virus is actually directly attacking neurons.

Not really a surprise considering how common ACE2 receptors are.
