IANAL, but I think a general rule of thumb is: will this bribe get me out being detained against my will (or worse) for doing nothing wrong? If yes, then it's ok. But: if I don't pay this bribe, the only consequence will be that my company doesn't win this contract -- that's not an ok bribe to pay.

Did you mean to point out that Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks, all have substantially higher life expectancies than their co-ethnics in the relevant home countries, while White life expectancy is substantially lower, and has in fact dropped precipitously in the last twenty years?

Because a) that's how it works and b) most people replying to you are drawing the opposite conclusion. Either way, you've done a poor job of expressing yourself here.

The term "shoplifting" applies strictly to goods that the company was trying to sell, not things they were using themselves, so even if non-returned company equipment were counted as stolen, it wouldn't count towards the shoplifting numbers.

This sort of thing is the result of a permitting policy called may-issue. Basically it means the party that issues permits, usually the local sheriff or police department, can deny a concealed carry application for any reason. States adopt this policy as a way of punting CC policy making down to the local level.

In practice the may-issue policy has repeatedly proven to be an irresistible opportunity for graft. Despite this some states continue to maintain may-issue policies, including California and New York.
I'll throw out a few things , even though I don't know much about PA. In some places if your permit expires you are now a criminal and breaking the law, which may put your ability to own any firerms at risk, so staying in compliance is a huge deal. Also, lapses in permits may submit you to a whole new round of scrutiny when you reapply. Often, the fees we pay for these permits are meant to fund the work to issue them. It isn't uncommon for those fees to get diverted elsewhere, so now we paid for services we aren't receiving. These things have happened to firearms owners so we are hypersensitized to these issues.
It's still somewhat fragmented. This jailbreak is of course coming from one of those fragments.
Apple tends to make sure they work properly before releasing (usually; please ignore the dodgy keyboards), is a big part of it, I think. Like, Microsoft had an ARM laptop-y thing a couple of years ago, but it was terrible. There were airpod-y things a year or so before the AirPods; they just weren't very good. And so on.

And Apple has a reputation now for releasing new things which more or less work. I'm sure far more people bought an M1 MacBook before the reviews were available than bought an ARM Surface, because there's a fairly strong expectation that the Apple thing will be decent, whereas there's no particular expectation about the Surface (or, if you'd used Microsoft's previous effort, the Surface RT, an _extremely negative_ expectation).

And notice that when Apple _does_ screw up (again, see the keyboard), people get very, very annoyed. Dell XPSes tended to have serious coil whine noise for a few years, but no-one really talked about it; if one MacBook had made an untoward sound we'd be talking about Coilgate for the next five years.
Only one pilot is flying for the majority of the flight. The pilot not flying is resting, and the switch off as required, and only have both pilots on during the most dangerous parts of flight: takeoff, landing, and in vicinity of the target.

That said, for USAF purposes, crew rest isn't during flight:
> Crew rest is compulsory for aircrew members prior to performing any duties involving aircraft operations and is a minimum of 12 non-duty hours before the flight duty period (FDP) begins. [0]

If they're in flight, it's "Controlled Cockpit Rest"

I like reading the frontpage. But they've turned the front page into endless facebook-like memes, tik-toks, and posts that I'd read from a lesser informed individual who dropped out of college and works at mcdonalds. There's no nuance and it just appeals to a broad audience. Also the group think and excessive mods have ruined the site. Like getting banned because you're opinion doesn't 100% chime with the group? Half of /r/popular's got you covered there!

Plus banning literally everything to cater to the puritanical mommies out there is absurd. Reddit was an interesting place. Now it's kind of like how HN reacts when google creates something new where you go "Wonder how long it'll last before they kill it..."

> You're asking for a different instrument, which would reduce hand spans to half their size when compared to an orthodox keyboard. This would change completely the tonality of the instrument such that it would be barely recognisable.

Nonsense.

This is a "different instrument" "barely recognizable" from the traditional piano? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cK4REjqGc9w

Having a different interface does not make something a totally different instrument. It's still an assortment of keys that are pressed to swing hammers at an assortment of strings. We change the shape of the string assortment all the time, yet no one complains that an upright isn't a piano because it's "barely recognizable" when compared to a grand.

This also stretches well outside the realm of the piano. Everything from synthesizers to xylophones take on the traditional piano keyboard shape.

> You need NO theory or notation to become highly proficient. This is no excuse.

I wasn't presenting an "excuse". I both know musical theory and am proficient. This isn't about me. I was presenting the similar inefficiencies that exist in piano keyboards and western notation.

This is about every person who wants to learn a piano. They are all confronted with an antiquated and inefficient interface for no reason outside tradition.

Or, blogs of privacy-preserving technologies such as https://differentialprivacy.org/ or https://blog.openmined.org/ or something along the lines that I'm not aware of would be very helpful.

The blogs can be of individuals, research groups or companies. The only thing is it should be active.

My favorite year is actually 1974. I really wished hyperinflation of the USD and collapse of the US government happened back then.
That's a great explanation. It also shows how short-sighted such plans us at a national macro level -- because an ounce of prevention can prevent hundreds of thousands in future future bills.

A perfect example is vitamin deficiency and the very serious effects such deficiencies can have, and how inexpensive the preventative care is.
You probably could to some degree but ultimately even if you did what ARM does and have a machine readable specification and had a way of verifying it on chip, you could still pull a VW-Thompson hybrid where the chip hijacks that process, i.e. detects when it is under audit.

I'm reminded of Christopher Domas' excellent talk/s on finding undocumented X86 instructions, if there are any backdoors in a modern processor they'll probably under some hyper-obscure (register, stack etc.) state even if they did use an undocumented instruction.

It's kind of a moot point with more and more android phones being produced with a locked-down bootloader as well—preventing any kind of OS upgrade after the manufacturer abandons it after a year (or 18 months if you're lucky).

Hey. Thanks for replying. FYI, I just noticed the store link on your site is broken.

Having a non-opinionated system using a simple http call makes sense to me. I would say the main drawback is that a lot of automated certificate management has, in effect, standardized around ACME and hook points for integrating anything else seem like an afterthought. For Traefik specifically, it's not possible to cleanly reload TLS certificates:

https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5495

So with an ACME provider, Traefik deals with scheduling of renewals and reloading TLS certificates as needed and I don't have to think about it. Obviously that has the downside of being a hard to debug (for me) black box, but I think a lot of people are willing to accept opaque systems if it saves them any amount of effort / thought.

That said, when I started using Traefik for TLS termination a year or two ago, it would have been much easier to set up cron or systemd timers to request certificates from Certera than to learn Traefik's manual config for terminating non-docker endpoints. In fact I might be using Certera and HAProxy for all my TLS termination had I known about it back then.

I'll definitely create an issue on GitHub if I try it and run into problems, but I'll try the existing setup first. I actually prefer HAProxy to Traefik and IIRC the only reason I'm using Traefik is that I didn't have an easy way to solve LE challenges in HAProxy. If I can have Certera playing that role I could drop Traefik and it's one less thing to keep up with.
The Buffer security issues that Mathias Buus and I uncovered led to the deprecation of `new Buffer()` in Node.js and the creation of the `Buffer.from()` and `Buffer.alloc()` APIs. There is an explanation here: https://github.com/feross/safe-buffer#why-is-buffer-unsafe

I created `safe-buffer` as a demonstration of how the API could be fixed to be safe. Then, the ecosystem adopted `safe-buffer` as a polyfill to get that safety even before `Buffer.from()` and `Buffer.alloc()` were included in Node.js. And to this day it continues to be used to provide safety in older versions of Node.js which lack the newer APIs.
It doesn't work when you're comparing incomes, but it does work when you compare incomes minus costs.

Having a higher median income is all well and good, until you find it all eaten by education, healthcare, and transportation costs... In addition to less financially denominated costs. [1]

But eh, if you didn't need to take care of your kids, or yourself, you could theoretically afford more iPhones.

80-90V to keep it running are above the "low voltage" guidelines and their ~500mA is enough to kill.

Presumably the driver circuit would notice that no current is flowing from a ruined bulb, try the sparker a few times to restart the arc, then give up and turn off the 90V drive. But it might be cheaper to build…
checkra1n has; the others have not. Jailbreaks are generally optimized for time-to-market and not discretion, but actual malware could certainly take the code and make it less likely to crash or do funny things that are easy to detect.

I'm not disagree with that. However reddit is trying to become a social media site when it never was that. It was always a place for people to anonymously browse. It was a superior form of slashdot really. But now they're just opting for a direction that caters to the "en-masse" crowd and not the people that genuinely care about the topic at hand. I'd say they've gotten so big they've fragmented each subreddit to be a destination of it's own.

While that's good and I'd be okay with this normally, reddit has had a decade of history showing they aren't afraid to generate a new policy to ban certain subreddits just because a minority of vocal losers want it banned.

I think people in the overall thread are getting confused about different kinds of bribes.

A bribe needed to get a lucrative contract for your company: not ok.

Paying off a local cop so he won't throw you in jail for no reason: totally ok.

The US is concerned with preventing the former, not the latter. I would be surprised if any US company is advocating people pay the first kind of bribe, at least publicly, as that's quite illegal in the US (I'm sure it happens, but as quietly as possible). But I would not be surprised if US companies tell employees to pay the second kind of bribe, as well they should.
>If your status quo is shit, random change is statistically likely to improve the situation

I even question that. Didn't we have this exact discussion after the 'Arab Spring' already? For a year everyone was elated because the internet was ending the evil autocracies of the Middle East. Turned out in most cases the chaos was even worse than the corrupt status quo

even if you're in a bad place turns out there's still way more ways for it to get even worse rather than better if you roll the dice, you can't fall up a hill
> Is "jailbreak" equivalent to "total root privileges"?

Somewhat. Apple designs multiple layers of security into their devices and jailbreaks these days compromise some set of these, and plus the security model of iOS is really "the user vs. everything else on the operating system" so the concept of "root" is much less important. You could consider it equivalent to "rooting”, however.

> In other words, does the existence of a jailbreak like this also imply the same strategy could work for malware?

Yes.
Scenario == backup everything from local devices + cloud accounts/storage (e.g., iCloud, Dropbox, etc) all back down into a locally owned NAS. Use case == customer can use whatever backup whenever on whatever device, and rely on this service to hoover it all up and sync it to a big local NAS so it's all there when needed (and optionally allows deleting various cloud sync accounts or restoring/syncing cloud accts from big local NAS if needed)
Hmm, so it's not like the movies? You don't dial back in to a central command center where they call the guy who tells you to cut the red wire or not? Makes sense, I guess. Just interesting. It seems like there's value in centralization. Can't be two Teslas on fire at the same time in SF.
how one makes the head of security of such a huge transnational corp as Apple without being able to handle a simple situation of a midlevel bureaucrat soliciting a bribe?

Consoles are absolutely general computing devices. Microsoft just uses DRM to prevent you from running non approved software.
For some reason, I have a PhD in Health Policy and clinical practice, so, I'm inclined to look at the healthcare system when thinking about this question.

IMO it's simple (and this is of course a common view): healthcare in the United States is a failed market. It's not about free market fundamentalism vs socialism, it's just that in this case, this market is totally broken. Costs are completely out of control, and accordingly, access, that is, access without incurring crippling debt, is a huge problem.

Obama tried to address both cost and access. He went up against the insurance companies, and lost. He got somewhere on access, but even that is just access to insurance; insurance that may leave you with thousands of dollars to pay out-of-pocket if you walk into the ED with a complaint. So maybe you don't go.

Socialized medicine, it seems, certainly won't fly in this country. But socialized insurance, "Medicare for all"? We, the little people, have many reasons to support a multi-decade experiment with that.

There's no ideology here. It's just insane (unless you're profiting!) given history for us to continue imagine that in this case the Invisible Hand is going to fix things.
Even if you're insured in the US, you often can't afford care anymore. My private insurance plan costs $6,000 a year and has a $5,000 deductible. It was very bad pre-ACA. I paid over $8,000 a year on the private market and never let it lapse so my kidney donation wouldn't become pre-existing. Under the ACA it dropped a ton. But it's gotten much worse over the past years as it was weakened.
agreed, it's strange that with all their legions of machine learning PhDs Youtube recommendations still suck.

The worst part is when it gets stuck on particular video/topic and just keeps recommending the same thing for months.
A CEO I know (billion dollar revenues, multinational corporation ) tells me that:

1.The tricky bit is knowing the right amount of the bribe to pay.

Pay a Senator or a member of the House too little and you have made a powerful enemy.

Pay too much and they figure that they have a sucker that they can keep milking. And of course, you have also wasted a couple of extra million that could have been directed to another Senator....

2.The bribes are structured as payments via "lobbyists" or as "campaign donations"

3.In every country bribes are structured just well enough to evade local scrutiny.

Thus in Indonesia it is suitcases of cash.

In the US it is directorships of companies or well paying board jobs for children of politicians or investments in a politicians son-in-laws hedge fund.

This is the reason large employers have mandatory yearly training videos on ethics, sexual harrassment, insider trading and a plethora of other topics.

Is Hiring a Supercomputer Platform Engineer (Australia)
That makes sense, and you’re right. I’ve never worked or lived anywhere that bribes or “facilitation fees” were the norm. The closest I’ve come is a public bus in Vietnam where the driver and fare collector guy made up their own rates contrary to the posted fares.
Again, this is taking actions of a group, and some within it, and applying it to all the individuals. That your excuse for doing so is that "they are police" or "they are in charge" isn't all that convincing. Last time I checked, bigotry was bad in general, not just when applied to those without power.
This is exactly why. If I had a dollar for every "duh, orange man bad" post I could pay off all US student debt. It's just unbelievable. And if you said anything positive about trump (like hey, how about that H-1B loophole fix? that wasn't being abused by big tech) you get eviscerated, possibly even banned. And whats your appeal? To a mod that just makes up rules on a whim that aren't even part of their rules? Pretty much.

Reddit has gone out of their minds. They want people to target ads to, not a genuine community of people that care about the content they make. That's why those stickers have gone to absurd levels and they charge ridiculous prices for it. Now when I see a post, gold means nothing anymore. I don't even know whats a worthwhile post to bother reading cause half the time it's garbage group think irrational "the dems are freedom fighters!" stuff anyway.
This is not actually a problem in practice. I had this misconception too before I started using it, though. I'll explain for Nix, since I've used it, but I assume Guix works similarly:

Packages as defined in nixpkgs don't depend on specific versions of shared libraries. They depend on the library by name, just as they do in any other OS. So a single update in nixpkgs addresses all packages on the system "for free", including ones defined outside of nixpkgs, because they're almost certainly going to depend on nixpkgs for those libraries (I mean, they could duplicate the definitions, but why would they?).

Built packages depend on specific versions. So you just have to be sure to update all your built packages. How does that happen? Well, packages are installed because they're requested by name somewhere, either NixOS system packages, or from home-manager, or from a dev environment. Those names point to packages in nixpkgs. So when you update your nixpkgs version (using nix-channel or flake update or however you're doing it), and then rebuild NixOS or update home-manager, you get updated versions of everything.

If you're using a nix-based dev environment with pinned nixpkgs (with niv or a flake or whatever), you'll have to update that pin as well, for each project. I suppose you could claim that this makes it easy to use old dependencies. Perhaps, but the entire point of pinning the nixpkgs version is to make everything 100% reproducible, bugs and all, all the way down your dependency stack. So you have to make a deliberate choice between trade-offs there, which seems fair.

As far as static linking, nix is essentially static linking, except that you still get the benefits of shared disk space and shared memory for .so files. "True" static linking might be simpler if your dependencies happen to be .so files that also have .a files, but many things aren't, e.g. dependencies among python modules, depending on other binaries to exec, data files, etc. Nix lets you "statically link" all of those too.
