It certainly does look like that. I do think though that we've learned a number of central lessons in the process:

- treat messaging as a first class concept, not something to hide & abstract away.

- do not attempt to implement polymorphism in a messaging protocol. Do not bind your messaging protocol to a programming language's type system (they serve different purposes).

- bake fundamental monitoring & maintainability concepts into the protocol (e.g. intermediaries must be able to understand what responses are errors).

- have a well understood, simple backwards and forwards compatibility story.

- etc.

All of this is stuff we didn't understand in RMI or CORBA or SOAP etc. REST was a great wakeup call, both in simplicity and some of the messaging protocol concepts (such as error modelling). It is missing the application level binding - there's just no good reason why you wouldn't have a statically checkable method/request/response type binding.

I am a bit weary on whether gRPC will go over board again in complexity. We'll see.
It does depend on whether the hardware 2FA is U2F (which stops phishing) or OTP[1] (which doesn't).

> there is already more excellent content that has already been created than you could possibly consume in a hundred lifetimes.

I hear this often. Where is this excellent content? 99% of things online recommendations float up for me is garbage. Sometimes I see some gems, but it's rare. Already years ago I was hearing people say that the only thing we need now is good content discovery. Screw any new content. We already have too much good stuff.

I'm starting to think that, if in all this time Internet giants haven't been able come up with a way to get to those hundreds of lifetimes of amazing content, maybe it doesn't actually exist?

Our tastes change over time. Some things that were great 10 years ago haven't aged well. There's a long tail. What's excellent for you isn't interesting to me, and so on. In a sum there might be more content than you can watch in a lifetime, but an intersection of that whole collection with a single person's momentary interests seems to be much much smaller.

During the early part of lockdown, there was a period of several weeks when Wahl hair clippers were impossible to find in Argos (online or store) or Amazon.co.uk, even though many similar models were plentiful here in the US (and even being sold at a discount).

It was a frustrating experience searching on the Argos web site (as you can't filter out items which aren't in stock locally). But the popular models came in stock at Argos before they did at Amazon.co.uk (at least first party, regular price).
What I find most problematic about the attac is the incident response by Twitter.

As people pointed out here, hijacking Twitter accounts can lead to big stock market crashes, mass panics ("bomb found at XXX") and maybe even military escalations.

Under this circumstances, leaving a platform with an unknown number of compromised accounts online, seems irresponsible to me. In such a case you must stop the bleeding ASAP, either by locking up "important" accounts (what they eventually did, after a few hours!) or taking the site offline.

Next time this happens, we might not be so lucky.

The admin tool was used to change the email on an account, then the attacker reset the password and got full access to the account. Apparently having 2FA enabled did not stop this attack (admin tool probably had the power to strip 2FA from accounts).

So while the tool did not directly have the ability to tweet, it effectively did.

> We have no idea if this feature was used by more or less than 1 channel in a thousand, or these accounted for more than 1 view in a thousand.

If you really take all of YouTube into account then yes, the actual number was probably very small, considering how many cat videos, fail compilations, music videos, wedding videos etc. there are. "Last Christmas" doesn't need Cantonese subtitles but surely makes up for a lot of views.

I'm subscribed to about 100 channels with many of them making high quality videos about different topics that required research, have animations for explanation or otherwise took effort to make. These often times do have subtitles in different languages and I'd consider that pretty valuable. Throwing those in a bucket with TikTok compilations when evaluating the usage of community translations or subtitles in general is just nonsense.
They still have this. In fact it just got new features and is free.

What implications will this have elsewhere. Where is the line drawn?

I don’t disagree with this but it feels like this will open a hornets nest.
My uninformed guess is that there isn't a "tweet as this user" button (because obviously there's no legitimate use case for that), but there is a "change this user's email address" button (because you might need to do that in order to help someone who's locked out of their account), and if you can do that you can take over someone's account. Obviously something like this would be detected quickly, which makes it less scary in some ways than a "tweet as this user" button, but of course this particular attack did not seek to evade detection once it was launched.

Of course, some of the targeted users presumably had 2FA enabled. How to do account recovery with 2FA in a consumer context is a complicated problem and I'm not aware of any good answers, but there's certainly an argument that the protections in place there weren't adequate and I wouldn't be surprised to see them changing soon.

I would also hope that rank-and-file support staff can't change users' email addresses, and the attackers had to spear-phish one of a smallish number of people whom more complicated account-recovery cases are escalated to. But who knows if that's how it works.
I think the point is that google wants to save resources aka. put employees to work on something else.
The funny thing is, I love to setup a backend and AWS environment and then get stuck on building an UI (dreading anything js related). I guess that why we should find others to collaborate with :)
I really hope they just block all the news sites from their platforms. Let's see how they like it when thier traffic dries up. From other reporting I've read the law does say they have to treat domestic and international news the same so it could cause an issue with that approach.
That is not correct. The problem with SOC reports is that it is up to the company to scope what controls they want to be tested as part of the SOC2 report. Therefore in your example, the company is unlikely to include asset management controls (EoL / EoS) as in scope for their SOC report. Companies can also choose to only include the components of controls that are known to be effective, to avoid having a qualified report.

You are right that you shouldn't just blindly put faith into an organisation because they have a SOC report. To rely on a SOC report, you need to review it in detail, and understand the controls they have tested, and look for what has been omitted.
> Jeff Bezos consumes and releases way more carbon than the average person. Private jets, multiple mansions, a fleet or cars, a private rocket company. He would pay way more into a VAT and carbon tax than a median American. If the UBI is large enough to notice, Jeff Bezos would definitely be affected by the means to fund it.

Yes, but again, I don't think his carbon footprint has increased proportionally with respect to his income, which if it holds true generally means that a carbon tax in proportion to consumption is regressive in terms of proportionality to income, in which case the poor would be disproportionately affected.

I don't know why you consider it a red herring. Possibly because you haven't understood the argument for why it can be considered a regressive tax (you certainly haven't acknowledged it), but in any other case, instead consider those only a little richer. For example, I can afford living in a large city, near essential services. I can afford living near my workplace. This means I can afford not having a car at all, and if I wanted to, I could afford an electric car. I can afford conscious consumption. In that sense I have better means to minimize my carbon footprint than someone that lives in a rural community, works several tens of miles away in the city because they can't afford to live near opportunities of employment, can't afford an electric car, can't afford to buy locally produced food etc.

The poor may be getting more back than Jeff Bezos (thank god) but the middle class will clearly be the immediately obvious winners in a scheme like this, funded disproportionately by the poor.
> Another is for Google to become more of a data fiduciary that manages people’s information for them—a bit like a bank does with money.

I'm not sure Google is the right company for this due to people not trusting them, but overall I kind of like that idea. I've self-hosted a lot of my services due to not wanting to give companies too much of my data. But it's a hassle. I noticed that I'm willing to pay money for peopel to take this off my hands, but those need to be people I trust. I think protonmail might become the company of choice for me in these regards. They already have my email, and I wouldn't mind outsourcing my calendar and VPN to them, either.
I've coded/supported a number of admin tools for a number of large companies (banks, telcos, etc) so I'll take a stab at "why" First, god mode can be implemented cheap and fast. God mode also makes day to day support easy as admins/support staff can do just about everything fast and easy - so they typically love it and will often fight to keep it. More than once I have had managers turn down proposals to tighten up security because of the cost and false beliefs that because the tool is behind a firewall, better security is not needed. Taking a schedule and/or budget hit to implement tighter security is not going to get them a promotion or bonus. Sad but true. In the vast majority of cases I've seen, paying for security improvements becomes incentivized for managers after their company gets burned by a breach.

Also, admin tools are often "afterthoughts", there is usually a motley collection of them, and often considered as an expense/cost to be minimized and not a revenue generating asset that gets more budget and attention.

Find Atlanta, Georgia on map. Zoom in on Atlanta, Georgia. Click on a building like the "Fulton County Courthouse" or "Atlanta City Hall" (does not really matter, but somewhere near them).

Date Range: 01/01/1970 - 01/01/1980

Data Sets (tab):

Declassified Data -> [check] Declass 3 (2013)

Click "Results".

Click one of the results.

With that reasoning we should have stopped producing music after Bach, Mozart or Beethoven. Instead, our cultural context and technology evolved and so did our forms of expression. There will always be more possibilities and combinations of known elements (ingredients, words, notes, interesting questions) that nobody has tried before. Be it in the realm of cooking, music, programming, podcasting or literature -- the possibilities are (almost) endless. If I find pleasure consuming that content I have no problem rewarding those that produce it -- and I would never be able to produce such content / will find a way to do so. I am a reasonably good programmer and cook, but a pretty crappy musician -- I would never be able to produce musical content like Amon Tobin, Aphex Twin or Black Sabbath.

Apparently they'll have to boycott all news sites. I hope they are able to challenge this law in the courts.

I think Best Buy's strategy is to just get people into their stores, hoping they will walk away with more than the thing they came to price match.

Kohl's has adopted an interesting strategy recently of becoming an Amazon drop-off location. By doing so, they get people to walk through their store, browsing their merchandise, if only via a brief visual scan. Once you've dropped off your return, they give you a card good for a discount on anything in the store for one day.

Success is never a default in any world. Even in the most utopian Star Trek universe, not everybody gets to be a starship captain.

I actually have thought about recording videos of my hobbies and sharing them, just to share, but I'm discouraged by the high production value expectations that people have now and it's not worth the hassle. But I would never expect to turn it into a career. I respect and support several content creators, but they are handful among tens of thousands. The majority of creators simply aren't generating $5/mo in value.
Ah, very nice to see others exploring that area, too!

I think baking the index as immutable object into the deployment package works great for use cases like personal blogs, which get updated only every so often, so you can afford rebuilding the search service when doing so. My main motivation for that is security, that way my entire service is read-only and immutable.

I definitely want to automate the deployment. My blog sources are on GitHub too (and already auto-published to GitHub Pages when pushing a change), so it shouldn't be too difficult to have another GitHub Action which rebuilds and deploys the search service.

Re memory, I run with 512 MB. The app is fine with much less; 128 MB works, too. But Lambda allocates CPU shares proportionally to the assigned RAM and below 512 MB it's just a bit too slow. As I'll probably never leave the free tier with this service, "wasting" memory that way doesn't cost me anything really, altough I feel the RAM/CPU correlation isn't ideal in general, because it seems you'll end up paying for superfluous RAM if you're only actually after lower request latency by means of more CPU cycles.
