IPv6 Security Myth #4 – IPv6 Networks Are Too Big to Scan (2015)

My favorite new problem is that they support an older version of iOS than the corresponding version of WatchOS. So, when I installed a new Spotify update, it has now removed the Spotify "Complication" from my Apple Watch.

With iOS 12.0, you can only install WatchOS 5.0 on your Apple Watch. You have to upgrade iOS to install a newer WatchOS.

Spotify iOS app requires iOS 12.0, but the Watch Complication requires WatchOS 5.2. I have no choice to install an older version of the Complication, and I cannot install an older version of the Spotify app, so I simply no longer have the Spotify Complication on my watch.

The only way for me to resolve this problem is to update to a newer version of iOS. And because Apple only "signs" certain versions of iOS, I'm forced to "upgrade" all the way to iOS 14. This will mean losing access to iOS apps that are no longer supported by the developer, including ones I enjoy and don't want to lose access to.

I mean, all Spotify had to do was align their app requirements and it wouldn't be a problem. I've never had this issue with any other iOS app thus far.

My partner's 12" MacBook has a (single) USB-C port, which has become increasingly loose over time. To the point where she has to listen for the distinctive sound it makes when charging when she plugs it in, and wiggle the connector until it connects properly.

So despite the apparent solidity of the machined shell, something in the system wears over time.

Divisive dialogue: Why do we engage in virtual political talk?
What we call search was dominated by Altavista before Google. It really didn't take much to break that dominance.

Stable dominance is characterized by things like network effects or similar. Google, despite being willing to use anticompetitive tactics, hasn't really successfully built much of a moat.

Bing didn't do it since at the time, everyone liked Google and hated Microsoft, and Google was an epsilon better.

Today, Google doesn't have that do-no-evil reputation, and it's hard to know what would happen.

No, it's universally considered a far-right tabloid, similar to the Daily Mail or the Sun in the UK.
Huh, TIL. I'll give that a try. Usually, that's the least of my problems. In my line of work, I'm often doing things which would likely horrify most webapp devs, like building a container with multiple conda envs in it. OTOH, most of these containers run on airgapped systems with petabytes of storage, so shipping a bit of bloat barely hurts the end user. But every time I do, I die a bit on the inside.

Good news! Bandcamp is exactly that (giving you your choice of FLAC or MP3 or whatever, without DRM, and available for download again so long as Bandcamp continues to exist) and is good for artists, since it's an actual album sale, so none of the nonsense associated with streaming payouts.

It's good for discovery also, since while Bandcamp Daily is a marketing tool, it's still written by music nerds who do a good job curating music from local scenes and odd genres. Indie labels also often run storefronts on Bandcamp, and are a decent way of finding the same, as most release music from their local area or with a similar sound. It's different from algorithmic discovery, and requires a bit more effort, but IMO it's worth it to explore on your own, and a fun way to learn something more about an album or track than streaming services' "Chill Hip Hop Beats To Study/Relax To"-style personality-void mood-based curation.

Bandcamp isn't perfect, to be sure. It's not as good for older music (though there are niche labels like https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com/ that dig up old recordings and re-release them digitally) or big-name artists on major labels, but there's so much music available nowadays that you usually won't be at a loss for something to listen to, you just won't always be able to find a specific track as easily as on Spotify. Their mobile app also isn't great, and really needs to add a way to download tracks for offline listening, but hey, no music service is perfect, and I'm fine using a mix of both it and Spotify where one offers a better experience than the other.

I'd like to draw that line further back to ancient Egypt, a wellspring of inspiration for Greek and Roman civilizations.

In my mind, the line goes forward, reflects and refracts through Europe, the Catholic church, the Renaissance; the Freemasons, whose first lodges in America were in Philadelphia; the "Sons of Liberty" gathering at the Green Dragon tavern - among them Paul Revere; Ben Franklin, who commissioned the design of the Great Seal of the United States, with the pyramid symbolism; and reaches George Washington, the first U.S. President and Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge in Virginia. And who were masons but builders and architects?

The morsels trace an admittedly sinuous and questionable lineage, lost and found across time and place, revived through myth and homage, and, I believe, still feeding some mad dreams of an empire.

Yeah I've never had it quite that bad. It's been on and off for a few years. The peak was when I would maybe go a few days without only a few hours, but I've mostly started to fix things the past few months. I worked a night shift position maybe 3 or 4 years ago and I wonder if that put me off.

>That's only true if they are doing it in bad faith.

Every tyrant ever thought they were doing what was good. Nobody ever does bad things just to be evil. They do them because they honestly believe the end justifies the means. We tend to give a pass to actions taken toward ends we agree with. Everybody is the hero of their own story. Nobody is acting in bad faith. They just believe that based on the information they have and their experience that the course they are choosing is correct. Those guys firing AGTMS at each other in the videos we get out of Syria are all trying to create a better world for the next generation. They just happen to disagree on the details.

You're thinking of libertarians, not conservatives.
Of course the factuality is a big deal. But Twitter didn’t discover the story was false and then remove it. Rather they decided that because the information came from a hack that it couldn’t be posted on their site. If anything they confirmed it was true by doing this.

Magine if they had applied this to WikiLeaks.

Thanks for the reply I guess, and the clear reminder why so many had to die both in NA and Europe for the first amendment to become a reality.
Fair point, but it's not so clear cut. A lot of process is about effective communication over largish groups and/or over largish times. Neither of these really apply in academic research work most of the time.

On the other hand, there are practices that can save you a ton of time even if you are working alone. In an academic setting this can often mean you just learn the ineffectual techniques of whomever came before you. In this case a small amount of education and change of practice (i.e. process) absolutely can dramatically improve overall lab productiveness. Industry isn't immune at all - especially when treating your "R&D" group quite separately from your "production engineering".

Another thing to remember is that there is no such thing as no process; you have one even if you don't understand it. It can be lightweight and almost invariably you can improve it (thought that's not always worth the time spent)

We have no information on this except what the NYT's reports in half truth. For instance if there was a time gap between reporting that could cause a mismatch as finances change over time. You can also have retroactive amendments as almost every major company has which are reported in different years.

I have a friend who is a high school football coach. In his words: "Only people playing at a really high level are at risk" even though we know for a fact this isn't true, and high school level players CAN and DO get CTE[0].

People do not take the risk seriously, and they DO NOT understand what they are getting into. Nobody is sending consultants to schools, or having school assemblies about "the dangers of CTE" like they do with drugs and alcohol. No, they are burying their heads in the sand and having pep rallies and dangling the glory of becoming a college football star to attract people.

I've known the New York Post as a rag for as long as I've been alive, but I still occasionally buy a copy.

But I when I see Twitter and Facebook deciding they have better journalistic judgement than a major newspaper, it seems that the world is upside down.
No, the point was to allow platforms to republish user content and moderate it without bearing civil liability for the content. Case law prior to section 230 had established that platforms only had liability if they engaged in moderation, but had no liability if they did not moderate in any way. Section 230 was created to address that absurd result of existing law. Protecting platforms that engage in moderation is the whole point, platforms that don’t moderate are already protected. This is why nobody has suggested that AT&T would have civil liability for posts on Facebook even though their wires carry the post to you. Dumb pipes don’t accrue liability.
So I actually do this today, and I use Vault. This sounds weird, but I spin up a "bootstrap PKI" Vault that is local-only, and produces, e.g.: "consul.service.dc.consul" certs with the issuer labeled as "bootstrap PKI intermediate" or some such. I generate a full suite of these for everything in a space, get it all up and running, then there's a 2nd layer of automation where self-certs are issued.

That said, I'm moving to a central distributed Vault that is mostly going to exist as a PKI so I'll only really need to repeat this process once more! Going to be using the raft internal engine for this one, and spread it physically across the globe so performance is going to be pretty terrible by design, but it should be quite resilient!

> Customer clusters are created/managed by programmatically running Terraform

I have soooo many questions about best practices doing this. I run a service that needs to dynamically provision AWS resources, and lacking a clear path to do this programmatically, I shell out to Terraform.

* I assume you aren't shelling out :). Do you have any additional helper libraries on top of the Terraform code base to make it more of a a programmatically consumable API, as apposed to an end user application?

* Are you still pointing at a directory with resources defined in HCL, or are the resources defined programmatically?

* What are you using for state storage?

* What is the execution environment for the programmatic Terraform process? Since Terraform uses external processes for plugins, I've hit some issues with resource constraints around the max number of process sysctl's in containerized environment where I have multiple Terraform processes running in the same container.

The reason they put is 'hate speech' but I'm basically convinced it's a single, stock error message they show regardless of the reason. How can an account be banned for hate speech 7 minutes after it was created?
I think they missed Idea 0: just copy-paste it if you need only json and csv.

For example, Go is leaning towards such approaches, and I think should be default for the beginning.
