Education programs only move the needle, not something you do instead of minimizing the number of attack vectors.

For example, education programs do squat against me attacking the employees directly (targeted malware, getting on their computer somehow, offering each of the thousands of employees $10,000 for temp access to their account). And each additional employee only strengthens my attack.
I had found this to be a really good resource. High level patterns to use.

The cost of hiring good talent (whether remote or on-site) will always be the same. Companies (tech and non-tech) and government facilities have tried to hire cheap labor to replace more experienced workers for many decades. The result is usually the same with a few exceptions: poor work which has to be refactored, re-worked, or completely thrown out. Usually underpaid employees have no incentive to do anything more than what's assigned to them. The old adage comes true: "you get what you pay for."

In the end the employer has to deal with a shitty product and in the end hire the right talent to get the job done (which they should have done in the first place).

I think that was supposed to be OpenStack. It failed.
You're right that the spontaneity is missing. Everything has to become formalized in some capacity to ensure everyone knows what's up as well.

Just recently I noticed that my coworkers were all jumping into a slack thread. It was a thread that was active hours earlier but that I missed out on, so I couldn't put in my input. If this was in the office, the fact that everyone was having a big conversation would be a signal to turn around and engage in it, but in the virtual world, someone has to specifically @ you to have you join, or else create a formal meeting to discuss it.

The small connections that grease the wheels of communication are gone or are more challenging when you have to do them over Slack or video call.
Yeah and that's where work tends to be more 'fun'
I think the moralization is due to the religious root of the American culture. Religion is all about morality, and the American people, especially those on the right side, invoke God too easily. Those on the left side, still think it's God that grant the America the privilege to herd all the people of the whole world, to teach the world what's right and wrong.

If people in another country may be wrong and have to be taught what's right, well, how can people in another state avoid such error? How can people next door be always right, such as I am?
Performance. No additional I/O at startup and guaranteed to be in memory.
It's just that the context is frequently misleading (combined with the character limit to describe the images). If this part is designed so poorly, it makes me less interested in the rest of the product which may have other similar issues. I recognize it is a fairly silly (and trivial) opinion.

Is there a reason the whole image couldn't be scaled down? Or at least be done proportionally. That's how thumbnails work in basically everything else.

Ahem, 5th paragraph: "The notion of the “restorative sea” was born. Physicians prescribed a plunge into chilly waters to invigorate and enliven. The first seaside resort opened on England’s eastern shore in the tiny town of Scarborough near York. Other coastal communities followed, catering to a growing clientele of sea bathers seeking treatment for a number of conditions: melancholy, rickets, leprosy, gout, impotence, tubercular infections, menstrual problems and “hysteria.” In an earlier version of today’s wellness culture, the practice of sea bathing went mainstream."
“This was in 2007, maybe things have changed since then).“

Let's say one was caged in an unbreakable cage. Depression, anxiety, loneliness and boredom, would be natural reactions to such confinement. One could even say any opposite reactions wouldn't be fully human, something would be amiss. Being repressed and unable to do anything about it, often lead to depression and anxiety then. These things are sneaky, especially what is not readily visible to the eye.

Now, even though depression and anxiety can have many causes, including the individual itself and one's reactions. We know humans and living beings need physical and mental stimulation. Thus activities such as dancing, singing, whatever would activate joy, can help break bad spells. We don't know beforehand either, what we could have capacity to enjoy, so should seek out diverse experiences and people with an open mind.

Such tools may help to uncover a person's life's purpose. To find meaning, we need tools and other people as mirrors. We may even need to experience stuff we later actively decline, for many different reasons.

Thinking too much or one's attitudes, can hamper and limit much more than a person might realize. It's easy to miss out of one own's life, by comparing and vying for other people's lives. Also even though one would be totally miserable with another's plights!

So it is there, in-between activation and purpose, one need the reminder, that the purpose is not the end result. That life's not a journey. We alone judge good and bad, while life just is as it is regardless what we think and feel in each moment. Letting go of the destination and many concepts, we can realize it doesn't matter who is fully realized and perfect. That life happens perfectly every moment regardless, and that those who tell others what their meaning is, is full of * * * *.

> You are pushing a narrative that the US is the warmonger in space

the US is a warmonger. period. there is no need for telling people about their narratives without disclosing where you're posting from. Nothing is more powerful, hypocritical and worse worse in the world than the US military complex and their (lack of) foreign policy / diplomacy. Considering the current imbecile ruling this country the US in it's current form is a failed state. If you're American and not out on the streets right now protesting or engaged in overthrowing your current government then why post? It's boring, hypocritical, drivel and it doesn't make you look good. Go vote or join a protest instead of grandstanding for a failed country that wants to paint itself as the leader of the world.

Yes. Inconsolata is really good, as is Consolas, and both have been two of my favorite fonts. But JetBrains Mono has clicked in my brain like no other font. It's just so pleasing to read, especially on a 4K monitor.

On the terminal, my favorite font is "Liberation Mono".

Some of the other good fonts are: Cascadia Code/Mono, Droid Sans Mono, Fira Code, Hack, Menlo, Source Code Pro, and Terminus. I just happen to like JetBrains Mono the most.
It's not sensationalist when you realize it directly contradicts Twitter's prior statements from just last year about it:

> Twitter, in a statement, said it is aware that "bad actors" will try to undermine its service and that the company "limits access to sensitive account information to a limited group of trained and vetted employees."

https://www.npr.org/2019/11/06/777098293/2-former-twitter-em...

1,000 people, including contractors outside the company, is not a "limited group of trained and vetted employees." It's news because they misled people about their security, again.
It sure would be funny if Nubank was the company from Neal Ford's story about someone sneaking Clojure into an enterprise years ago by claiming it was "just a Java library".

But that just means it's on a delay. If AMD gets the design win in 2020 or 2021 then it means more trouble for Intel even if they're competitive again in 2022, because then they're the ones waiting on the next redesign.
Some ground-based observatories have been productively operated for nearly a _century_, with improvements in instrumentation providing leaps forward in sensitivity. That amortizes the cost of the observatory (mirror, site, etc.) across many years.

Even with cheaper launches it's much harder to get that benefit in space--servicing missions are much more expensive than driving up a mountain...

Right, it's not CPU arch, but there's a much higher chance of having the entire thing open arch if the CPU is. I expect the probability of reaching a de-facto "standard" SoC to be much higher in RISC-V and I'll take the pain of being the early adopter.

Just for my curiosity is this your observation or is this a company assumption?
Can highly recommend the TP-Link HS100 for this - it's "just" a wifi power switch. Change your motherboard settings to "power on after power loss" and you've got your remote reboot.
> 1,000 people, including contractors outside the company, is not a "limited group of trained and vetted employees."

That's not necessarily true. 20% of the company could fairly reasonably be deemed "limited", and there being a thousand of them doesn't mean they're not trained on their tasks.
This concern has already been addressed by SpaceX. It's worth noting that LSST is the single telescope most affected by Starlink. Since the article you posted was published, SpaceX met with the LSST people and specifically designed a sunshade to reduce the brightness of Starlink satellites on station below the threshold that will cause saturation problems. https://www.spacex.com/updates/starlink-update-04-28-2020/
I think Frankl’s is a more humanist version of that, in which meaning comes from service and obligation towards others.
I don't think that's a contradiction, I think you and Twitter have different understandings of what the size of a "limited group of employees" is. The usual advice of dismissing nebulous corporate statements like that applies.

Anyway, even if they had provided a figure, I think you're taking it out of context - the quote says access to "sensitive account information" is limited, not access to account recovery options. So it's potentially someone outside of that limited group whose credentials were compromised.
Auditing tells you what happened, it doesn't prevent it from happening.

If they have logs then they can use it in the future (and it seems they do) to design better protections but only active alarms and security controls can prevent something happening in real-time.

However that does raise the question of why Twitter ever needs such access to someone's account in the first place, especially without a combination of approvals to get that access.
It seems you're basing your assertion on projections based on wishful thinking. It's like saying to a cancer patient that he shouldn't worry about having cancer because in the future you believe there will be wonder drugs that fix everything. Well, perhaps there will be wonder drugs in the future, but what about real life, and real life solutions to real life problems? I already have a ton of money invested in earth telescopes. What good does it do me if you argue that in the future I might gain some capabilities if I scrap everything and buy a whole new infrastructure?

Moreover, you only need a guy with a wrench to fix a telescope on the ground. If your telescope is in orbit then the problem is a tad more expensive to fix.
Of course, gutenberg.org is a great resource for those forgotten books.

One of the most popular books from the 19th century was "Struggles and Triumphs: or, Forty Years' Recollections of P. T. Barnum" http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/50115

The parallels between P. T. Barnum and Donald Trump were obvious, but P. T. Barnum's jump into politics was far, far kinder.

There are so many awful things about this bill that its hard to know where to begin. What makes it especially ridiculous is that it does nothing to prevent people with even basic technical knowledge from sending encrypted communications. At the end of the day, encryption is simply math. You can't outlaw math.
Attorney here!*

That is totally false.

Conspiracy requires two elements: an agreement to commit a crime, and an act in furtherance of said crime. There is nothing unlawful about looking the other way. You might be a scumbag, but that's a different problem.

The elements of criminal accessory require one to harbor, conceal, or act in such a way as to help someone avoid or escape arrest or punishment (CA law here, other states may be different). Again, merely "looking the other way" is not an act. Otherwise, anyone who merely witnessed a crime could be charged with criminal accessory.

That said, corporate policy might be quite different. If I look the other way while a colleague violates customer security policies (and I'm aware of such violation), I can justifiably be fired.

One cannot opt-out of society (short of moving to a different society), but one interact with society (as a whole) only through laws, contracts and formalized/ritualized interactions.

On personal level one does not interact with society, but with other persons. Probably tens or at most hundreds. And one can opt-out of each of such personal interaction (and perhaps find a differend set of persons to interact on personal level). And that is one of the most important personal freedoms.
Isn't this what Google did with Yelp? IIRC, google was in talks with yelp to buy them out. They either pulled out or lowballed them. Then a few months later they launched "Google Places"

At the time, this was referred to as a "brainfuck" of smaller companies for their IP.
That ship has sailed in early 2010s.

Once Apple started making their own silicon there's no going back.

There's no good reason that so much of the world is using an architecture that has consistently shown less efficiency, especially since the rise of distributed computing. It is bound to happen.
The main reason I can think of would be when you have hundreds of workers accessing a DB but the DB only has a small connection limit, say 200 or something. You can have the workers access the connection through pgBouncer to bring that up into the thousands.
Judging by the article the system in question simply was maneuvering near another Russian satellite and got really close to it. It didn't fire any projectiles to destroy it or anything like that. So I don't understand why it caused such fuss, apart from the routine nurturing of the Russian scarecrow.

Yes, such systems could be used for military purposes (e.g. for inspecting US spy sattelites or for interfering with their work), but also can be used for civilian as well (e.g. refueling, safe deorbiting, and even some day repairs). It's far easier and more reliable to destroy enemy satellites using ground based systems, after all you just need to create a field of ballistic debris which can be slower than first cosmic velocity, so it will be cheaper than satellite. So I highly doubt purpose of the system is satellite destruction.
It seems much more powerful than the Rust version. The Rust version basicaly embed the file into a byte array that's it or I'm missing something?
> I don't know who's "we" or who's looking the other way.

"We", as a societal group, whether that be "Americans" or "Westerners" or "Human beings". By looking the other way, I meant "assuming the problem will get better if the unaccountable powers are held accountable." People don't change their behavior overnight, even if it's unconsciously acting as a face in a mob they don't realize they're part of, and revolutions rarely result in a change that is positive in all aspects.

What if we trade unaccountable individuals (which sometimes were held accountable) for unaccountable mobs? I don't see one as necessarily better than the other, it's the prevalence and consequences of each that matter to me.

> Everyone on every part of the political spectrum has one or more mob-tendencies they'd like to stamp out (or at least look like they're stamping out). And yet this situation continues. Indeed, it seems like the whole this different mobs gunning for each other.

Yes, it's almost as if we've started identifying more with our subgroups than the larger group, and it's like multiple nations forced to coexist within the same borders of people we view as others. Like a digital Gaza Strip.

> It seems like one can't just take negative phenomena in isolation, say "that bad" and go get it. Or you can and everyone's doing it and things are still in a mess and you're part of the mess now.

Sure. That's the other end of the spectrum. I advocated for doing both. Address the root cause, also address the problem. If we accept that poverty increases crime, we shouldn't use that as an excuse to ignore crimes committed by the poor, and we shouldn't ignore that causal relationship and focus purely on policing and punishment.

> You actually need positive, concrete alternatives to mob behavior.

The whole point of my original comment is that I don't know what those are, but we need to find and/or advertise and explore any we can find because they are important.
> I pay $2150 a month for a 5 bedroom 3100 square foot 4 year old house in the burbs of a major metropolitan area and work for $BigTech remotely. I wouldn’t trade the arbitrage opportunity for anything.

Congrats, you don't live in silicon valley. Woohoo. Your life is not everyone's nor is it representative of what everyone can get.

My employer will only keep people who will show up at the office. If I found employers regularly paying $400k+ for remote - I'd consider it... But I don't see them often.

IMO the next big application for FPGAs is going to be to serve as a programmable DMA-engine of sorts. Have some a bunch of hard logic like ALUs and/or IO/s strewn about. Like for hw accelerated sql queries, malloc/free, data-specific compressors and the like.
So the recent Supermicros have a HTML5 iKVM, but mine originally came with a Java-only thing. When I had to send my box away to get repaired (Intel C2000 bug) it magically came back with a newer firmware that wasn't listed on their site and supported HTML5. I haven't been able to get remote ISOs working with the new interface, though.
The margins are pretty fat ($25/mo for hardware that costs $200) and unless they have a particular knack for finding petty thieves I expect that they will lose fewer than 1% of their tablets to fraud.
Do they? There are usually levels of access and the bigger the change the more approval you need. Some things can only be done by an entirely separate team with manager sign off and other oversight.

It seems like Twitter has none of this, and while you can argue it's not the same a banking, there are still sensitive communications and there's no real reason why anyone should be able to post new tweets or access private messages without several approvals.
> it seems like the whole this different mobs gunning for each other.

Accessing nil pointers is well thought out. Not enforcing error checking is well thought out. Reflection and code generators instead of generics and traits is well thought out. Lack of conditional compilation is well thought out. No compilation with unused variables instead of warnings is well thought out. Doing your own sort, map, all essential array operations from scratch everytime is well thought out. Spamming err != nil instead of some operator like `?` is well thought out. iota instead of type-safe Enums is well thought out. No file-scope variables is well thought out. go mod is well thought out compared to npm and cargo.
Yes, with coordination it is possible. I was thinking of the non-coordination issue.
