I think badrabbit should have said "even some infosec people think training will stop this".

As-is the grammar is ambiguous whether badrabbit meant "some" or "all".
Situation in Australia is that they pay zero.
> My only hope is that science can save us somehow.

It's not about us. It's about the planet. Climate change only threatens us as a species. Once we're gone, the planet will recover. It's recovered from eco-collapse before, and it will do it again.
> Now lets say blue light delivers only 80 units of energy. When that same cloud passes over, 80 * 75% = 60 units of energy, or a drop of 20 units. So, if your process is sensitive to changes in absolute energy, you would rather have a swing of 20 units for every passing cloud than a swing of 25 units.

That's not exactly it. The idea is that the blue light absorption can be tuned (presumably by shifting the absorbed wavelengths by a few nanometer) to compensate for external changes. So if the overall light intensity drops 1%, the system responds by shifting the absorbed spectrum to get 1% more power.

This only works in parts of the solar spectrum where power varies sufficiently versus wavelength, hence the preference for blue and red.
Their phones start at $399. Do you consider it too high?
> This, last I checked, was OEM specific.

Umm, no. It is nice how you cite your anecdotal evidence about riot, but if you would study this issue a bit you would know, that on Android 1.5 you could launch a background process and it would stay in memory indefinitely, and on recent androids it's only possible with persistent notificaton icon (to which a lot of users complain about). If you don't have the persistent notification, then oops. If you don't want to research this subject yourself, you should probably trust me, because we have an app with >1M installs that depends on being in memory.

>> For example, in Android 6 I could record incoming calls easily. Not so much on Android 9,

> This is still possible, and I do it, with the stock dailer on android 8.1

Let me check, was Android 8.1 released later than Android 9? Hm, I guess, not. Anyway, this link [1] would be a good place to start to learn more on this subject. Let me cite:

"The official API for call recording was removed with the launch of Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Developers are hard to stop, so they found workarounds to keep this feature alive, but Google finally killed off the ability to record calls with Android 9.0 Pie."

So, do you agree now with my point that Android is becoming a more and more restricted platform in every way?

Internal admin tools grow over time. They don't spring fully-formed into the modern company with all the correct access controls and auditing they ought to require at that point. They carry a lot of cruft from things that were needed early on and aren't needed anymore.

Furthermore, they're a classic cost center, not a lot of love or budget goes into reducing their tech debt, or bulwarking them up against a sophisticated adversary. Red teaming yourself full time is expensive and not profitable. What's the worst that happens from a breach like that? Well, Equifax is still going strong!

I recall being party to an amusing conversation at a major network services provider at a team meeting for people with access to such tools, to the effect of:

- Alright, we're modifying <internal tool A> to lock down access to accounts related to <major political figure>. You will no longer be able to use <internal tool A> on <accounts>, only select supervisors will have that access.

%%% ah, okay, that makes sense

# uh, hey, regarding <internal tool B>, which allows us to look up <thing that would provide equivalent access to internal tool A>? does that still work the same?

- Uh, yeah, it does.

# okay?

%%% ... silence ...

- Alright, next item!

To the best of my knowledge, that was never addressed. <internal tool A> has audit logs. <internal tool B> doesn't.
Short of a full-scale global revolution that punishes the policymakers and corporate decision-makers who directly make the decision to deforest, mine, and brainwash the populace into compliance, I can't see a reversal from the inevitable cliff. We can barely get people to agree on basic mask wearing during a pandemic.
Of course, they do know the answer to those questions but their legal team told them to keep their mouths shut.

I don't think you can sensibly say that most interviews are making people "work" for free- you're not going to get any productive work product out of an interview unless you're literally making someone do a trial shift in a coffee shop, which I think people would agree is scummy. That doesn't really happen in Tech. I can pay you to do our coding test, but I don't think anyone can reasonably argue that 350 different solutions to the exact same toy programming problem has any value to my company. Also, what am I going to pay you? Minimum wage? £20 or so? We could do that, but I'm not sure it would make any difference to anyone but the most marginal candidate.
Thank you for building this. I'm excited to make some purchased near me.
I'd guess this only applies to snippets, not simple hyperlinks, so Google could get away by showing headlines only.

However, that is just complete speculation as I haven't seen the actual law, and the afr.com article is behind paywall for me.
>There is too much focus on entry point of an attack,especially by news media.

That depends on what you mean by "entry point". If you define the entry point as a person, then yes don't focus on that. But if you define the entry point as phishable credentials, then focusing on that is good, it will prompt companies to switch to phishing-resistant credentials (U2F security keys).

Most left wing parties in the world sit on the right side of the economic spectrum (with eg. North Korea being an exception).
For more info: https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2

Sure, right wing parties say they want to lower taxes (but rarely do so) and left wing parties say they want to increase them (and often do so) but we're talking more about brand marketing and appealing to voters than significant changes.
Right wing parties tend to be more authoritarian on some themes (gay marriage, drugs).
Left wing parties tend to be more authoritarian on other themes (hate speech, gun control, more regulations).
No one in politics really care about individual freedom if not to please voters close to the elections.

We definitely should adopt a different system to categorise political parties - but to me the Australian Liberal Party looks liberal enough for today's world.
terraform forces you to write custom providers instead of letting you glue tools together. cloudformation has the same issue with custom resources, though the abstraction is better since you can write custom resources in whatever language you want.

neither of them solve for CI or pull request workflows themselves, so people try to bridge the gap with Jenkins and now the frankenstein monster comes to life -- now you've got golang, groovy, yaml, none of which your product devs generally have any familiarity with, let alone the idiosyncrasies of terraform state management, cloudformation stacks stuck in ROLLBACK_COMPLETE, yaml whitespace sensitivity, Jenkins scripting sandbox woes, troubleshooting from logs without being able to step through a debugger in an IDE, errors that only happen in eu-west-3, etc, etc...

Nowhere near as much as shopping searches. It's kind of hard to monetize an interest in (say) Singaporean politics or space rockets.
I knew a family most of whose members could qualify as chronically hypomanic. I made the observation because I had just read on bipolar disorder and mania, and the material stated that mania or hypomania could not be sustained and had to be followed by depressive episodes. This was over 20 years ago so the current understanding, if I'm not mistaken, of bipolar as metabolic (specifically mitochondrial) in origin might not have been the consensus then.

I'm not sure about the parents, but the many kids (Catholic) were:

- extremely religious, exalted even you could say. At least two of them joined the Church as nun and priest

- promiscuous (lol) in at least one case (my roommate) or at least very flirtatious

- talked very fast all the time

- always bouncing around

And so on. As far as I know none had had significant depressive episodes.
I doubt there were many houses in the 90s and early 2000s that didn't have an Argos catalogue in them.

On a similar note my local yellow pages was delivered this week (I know, i'm shocked it still exists too). Its gone from something you could beat a medium sized bear to death with to more like a modest paper back.

Sign of the times i think.
This seems similar to what Brave is doing. I would like to see a side-by-side comparison of the two. For example I know that Brave pays users for watching ads, for example.

There are alternatives being built around direct micropayments to authors, such as https://read.cash. It's a click to send any amount from $0.01 and up, and the wallets are non-custodial, so money goes straight to the creator, minus a fee for the website. This might be a solution to the fatigue described by article, as you pay especifically by the content you like, and you decide the amount.
Parts of the "complex" is that there was a revolution going on, too. The monarchy was overthrown and the military command happily let the representants of the new democracy take responsibility of the "peace treaty". In the meaning of: "see, this is what democracy gives you. While the army is unbeaten in the field, those traitors give up to the enemy."
It's not that they're giving paid content away for free, it's that they're extracting copyrighted content and profiting from it (without compensating the copyright holder).

I don't know if it technically falls afoul of existing legislation but clearly the old laws aren't really up to the job of regulating that. They weren't designed for it.

There are probably Twitter employees whose job it is to reset emails all day long. Having 2 separate computers and accounts, one for for resetting emails (which is done all day) and one for responding to email sounds like quite a burden on employees. How are they going to get the name of the account from one computer to the other? Copy and paste won't work. Retyping from one computer to the other surely will result in typos.
I remember being at the veterinarian and while waiting, I paged through one of the many animal books they had out (this one was lizards).

I laughed at one page (and took a picture), which showed an lizard with an inflatable pouch.

Underneath there was a picture of a Frigate with an inflated pouch, with the caption:

"FLASHY - The male Frigate bird attracts his mate in very much the same way the anole lizard does. He keeps his pouch inflated for several hours until she succumbs to his charms."

Surprised it's taken this long. I feel nostalgic when I think of Argos, but yeah, really archaic concept now.

I live in Mönchengladbach and the first thing I thought of, was looking at the Garzweiler mine.

It is worth to take a closer look. Here you can see how the Highway (Autobahn A44) is spared at the beginning until it is destroyed around 2006. It was reconstructed and reopened in 2018. It is frightening to see how the villages get eaten by the mine. At the same time you can also see the construction of the relocated villages Otzenrath, Holz and Spenrath north of the mine.

I think IDLs are an important point among many others (I attempted to list some above). I think we might be missing substantial improvements if we'd just say "oh so we're back to a static IDL description, all old is new again".

And even within IDLs, we've made major progress. Compare the mess of SOAP's data type system, various attempts at inheritance and polymorphism in SOAP and CORBA, pointers in CORBA etc.
I've used Argos 5-6 times during lockdown and had no idea an app existed, i'm still using the website like its 2009....

The click and collect to a local Sainsburys was a great adaptation. No more driving in to town, parking, fighting though crowds only to find the item isn't in stock.

Now you just select the item you want and their "availability" time is based on how quickly they can shuffle stock around to your area. Its actually quite a nice experience.
It would be a model I'm more comfortable with. Just set a fixed monthly fee, and let it be distributed automatically; with an option for me to review the monthly split to blacklist sites that try to game the system.

Lots of issues to solve before that becomes possible though. Either some company manages to deliver the dominant solution and skims their 30% off, or the technology behind it is too easy to abuse (great, now FAANG gets another letter), or it just leads to more mountains of crappy content that exist just to lure you in and hold your attention without actually delivering (leaving you dissatisfied).
The bond market is many times bigger. There is much more that could come to the stock market.

Author here. The PLA in both the C64 and the C128 are primarily used to generate chip select signals for the chips that are connected on the system buses.

On the C128 it is also involved in the DRAM refresh handling.

The C64 PLA was originally a programmable device, the Signetics 82S100. Later version were MOS/CSG copies of the same device but programmed with changes to the manufacturing masks instead, similar to the difference between an EPROM and a Mask ROM.

For a lot more detail and background, I can recommend reading Thomas Giesels excellent paper on the C64 PLA, found at http://skoe.de/docs/c64-dissected/pla/c64_pla_dissected_a4ds...
>It depends on the dongle. YubiKeys and similar devices require the user to physically touch/tap it to enable U2F auth, and it automatically powers down after a timeout to prevent remote desktop attacks.

How often is the tap needed? Is it needed on every action or 1/day or 1/month? It would stay valid via browser cookies valid for that period. If it's 1/day the employee might have tapped it in the morning, then went to lunch, then the attackers hit with the remote desktop attack.
Outsourcing is for big companies that care more about process (timecards being accurate) than the product detail. For example, governments, insurance companies, banks, etc. These companies are focused on the big picture, not where the buttons go on the UX, how fast the code runs or even how much it costs to run the code.

Many startups have stumbled upon outsource traps --they wind up breathing like a defeated Darth Vader, with "MVPs" developed offshore (not just India, all over Asia, Eastern Europe and South America) that don't even run (screenshots from "that time they ran for a while" and zip files of code), usually tethered to some awful and expensive AWS system that supports a few users (instead of tens of millions --with "elastic scalability"). There is usually almost no money left, (seed) investors are screaming at them, they are having emotional problems from the stress, there is nobody within arm's reach (though I heard of one guy once who actually flew as close to St. Petersburg as he could without entering Russia just to meet with the sales manager of the "team" that ripped him off and surprise attack him.) There are lots of reasons, generally code that was designed NOT to be maintainable by competing "teams", code that looks like a child wrote it and will never scale, code that is missing key components to compile, code that contains "heavy lifting" problems (floating stack corruption, null pointer dereferencing, leaks, etc.) It's hard to blame the line-programmers (excuse me, "developers" lol) either --they are small cogs in a big f'd up system. Startups here on YCombinator, steer clear of outsource traps!
I didn't say they're left-wing so I have no idea who you're quoting there. I just said that they're not conservative, and I stand behind that.

On the plebiscite/postal survey though: the government in Australia isn't bound by the results of it. It's just a survey. The fact that the Liberal Party put the result into law[0] within 48 hours is their own doing, submitted by an LGBT member of the party no less.

A conservative party would fundamentally not do this.

You can scroll down in the linked Wikipedia article to see how everyone voted. You won't exactly see significant, genuine opposition. There was arguably more opposition from the left-leaning alternative, the Australian Labor Party, that had the most people abstain in the senate.

"Now, most of the examples we know of these prolonged euphoric states are undesirable. They often come with reckless or harmful behavior, delusions, and cognitive impairment."

I think there's a bit of selection bias here. Often times the only euphoria cases you really hear of are the ones that come along with some sort of detriment, leading the patient or people around them to seek help. I have a gut theory that that chronic elation is just as prominant as chronic depression, but since it rarely effects the person adversely few seek help for it.

Throughout my life I've been for the most part overly happy. It's just something myself, my family, and those close to me have noticed. There are issues with it, but they tend to be minor and things that I wouldn't really seek help for:

-being happy in inappropriate contexts (people tend to not resonate with you when you're happy at a funeral).

-much higher tolerance with ambiguity. I'm OK with being lost somewhere, which tends to annoy those around me as I tend to wander towards a destination rather than taking an optimal route.

-and an exageration of smile wrinkles on my face.

The negative impact to my life is quite low. Since I'd never seek help for it, it would never really be recorded anywhere. I suspect there are plenty of people with a chronic elation that are in the same boat - there's no onus to address it as an issue. I have no idea what makes me tick differently, but I suspect with a larger understanding of human biology we'll eventually be able to isolate these things and find an optimal amount of happy for humans to have as a baseline.
One of my friends brought me up this post in the morning.
The post is awesome and inspirational (caused a discussion in our chant group), though I can't agree with some trivial points.

> Nginx performance without stats collections is on part with Envoy, but our Lua stats collection slowed Nginx on the high-RPS test by a factor of 3. This was expected given our reliance on lua_shared_dict, which is synchronized across workers with a mutex.

The `a factor of 3` is quite large to me. Maybe you put all your stats in lua_shared_dict?
You don't need to synchronize the stats every time. Since the collection regularly happens in per-minute frequency, you can put the stats as Lua table, and synchronize them once per 5/10 seconds.

It look like that the compared Nginx is configured with a system which has been survived for years and not up-to-date. The company I worked with used a single virtual server to hold all traffic and routed them with Lua code dynamically. And the upstream is chosen by Lua code too. There is no need to reload Nginx when a new route/upstream is added. We even implemented 'Access Log Service' like feature so that each user can have her favorite access log (by modifying the Nginx core, of course).

However, I don't think this post is incorrect. What Envoy surpasses Nginx is that it has a more thriving developer community. There are more features added into Envoy than Nginx in the recent years. Not only that, opening discussion of Nginx development is rare.

Nginx is an old, slow giant.
Just another point of interest for our international friends and because 'Ctrl-F' for 'Costello' hasn't brought up anything either:

Peter Costello was, until 2007, the deputy leader and treasurer of the federal government, consisting then of the same parties that are pushing for this legislation.

Peter Costello, the same, is also since 2016 chairman of Nine Entertainment Co., the media company that would get the second highest amount of money under this legislation, right after Murdoch's own.

Yeah, Australia's kind of screwed up like that.
