Not even the United States federal government has a list of all the crimes under federal law. There's a funny Twitter account that was tweeting a new federal crime every day for a while.

In case you'd like to know how to research your question when you see a government announcement on a criminal case:

1. Scroll the bottom of the page. If it's the website of the government agency that brought the case, they'll almost always link to a "complaint", which is almost always a PDF.

2. In a criminal complaint, each crime charged is usually called a "count". Search the PDF to find the "count" that matches up with the crime you're interested in. In this case, the means-of-identification charge is count two.

3. Look for a "citation", a reference to a section or other numbered subdivision of a law within that count, in the part that spells out which law they're being charged under. Here: "Title 18, United States Code, Section 1028(a)(7) and 1028(f)".

4. Go to the official website of the government that law comes from. In this case, it's the US federal government. Their info portal is https://www.govinfo.gov/.

5. Search for the citation and find the law and its text. The portal will usually provide some notes after the text of the law about which bills introduced or changed that particular subdivision, and when. Sometimes they'll even provide commentary or citations to cases decided under it. I'll leave that part to you if you're interested.

6. For extra background, try searching for the name of the bill that introduced the law on Wikipedia, or even on Google. You can often get a sense of what was going on at the time, who proposed the bill and how the vote for it panned out, and so on.
I can't remember the last time I sat down and spent dedicated time just listening to music. It is the same restlessness that I have when I try to medidate. Songs are just boring and I need to have an excuse to listen to music - like driving so I can optimize the time. "I am driving, might as well take advantage of some music". The internet has ruined peace, fun, and everything that I remember growing up. :-(
I used to be a huge Greenwald fan. I think he handled the Snowden era like a total pro.

But lately the guy just sounds crazy. His takes are all incredibly predictable: Biden bad, Trump actually good for this one weird reason, libs hypocrites, Obama is a murderer, etc. All the same, boring, tired takes.
True story -- I got hired at a startup, and sometime within my first few days we went into a team meeting. The Chief Product Officer plugs his computer in to present, and Slack is up, showing his direct conversation with HR regarding my salary. Team lead saw that I had been brought on for more than him and quit. Many others threatened to quit, and they had to give a lot of raises. I guess it wasn't a notification but easily could have been.

I don't live a life that will put me in a position to be embarrassed by notifications (at least not like on the site), but there is nevertheless a real business need for privacy that is not related to what some might call immoral behavior. I think to expand the reach of this product you might need to take that angle. If Muzzle is meant only to handle embarrassing notifications, I believe it will become embarrassing to have it/be using it. Just my 2 cents.
My unexpected AWS quota story: AWS Batch. Using managed instances, just asking AWS to provision “suitable and available”. Daily jobs (docker containers) ran fine for the first 6 months. Eventually started stalling and failing with DockerTimeout. They would fail in batches of 100s and then at some point start working again.

It took several hours and some back and forth with support to realize that the burst IOPS quota of the provisioned underlying EBS disks on the EC2 instances forming the ECS cluster had been depleted so disk performance completely tanked to the point the docker agent couldn’t be reached for 4 minutes.

And here I thought the whole point was that these things would be abstracted away...

So you're saying your notation can encode graphs that can't be represented as, e.g., JSON? The existence of such a graph would be the real (math-breaking) discovery here, no? I.e., you really should be able to give an example before offering such statements...

This "perfectly safe airplane" has been grounded for almost two years after two crashes killed 346 people. The root cause of these crashes is a mind-bogglingly irresponsible bit of design that can be linked directly to decision makers at Boeing deciding to prioritize corporate profits over human lives.

I don't have a hard time believing that we won't see any more MCAS-related trim runaway accidents after the scrutiny of the past two years, but what evidence do we have that the dysfunctional leadership behind this particular flaw is the exception rather than the rule?

When the Max was flying, it was still extremely unlikely that you'd die on one, but dying is a pretty big deal (to me, at least). For the foreseeable future, I'll be choosing alternatives to Boeing when they're available.
...I don't know. I realize this is an entirely subjective view of what a web page should be, but I just don't think any website should know the intricacies of my hardware. The web is a low-friction, low-trust environment; installing a desktop app has more friction, but it also acts as a signal of greater trust.

If a website ever really needs to know my hardware, it can ask me to choose from a drop-down. A lot of users won't know what hardware they have—but, those users are also unlikely to understand the implications of a hardware-detection permission prompt.

I still think automated playlist creation has a ways to go. That would be the differentiator to me. I hate spending time creating playlists because I have horrible memory of bands and song names. For some reason there isn't enough feedback on the app I use though. For example there's no "I love this song, but you've played this song too much for me lately"
I think from an object-oriented design perspective that it's quite easy to overuse public field members and that a lot of getters and setters is generally a code smell. Nonetheless, properties are a very sharp tool and having them in the toolkit is wonderful.

I've never used Scala but it seems to go much further in the syntactic sugar and semantic complexity direction, more akin to F# than C# (though with less elegant syntax, to my eye).

Here's Zoom's own public statement on the matter: https://blog.zoom.us/our-perspective-on-the-doj-complaint/

The statement also says that Zoom itself is under separate US federal investigations for its dealings with Chinese and other foreign governments, as well as its security and privacy practices more generally.
"This is not “espionage as usual,” even in the digital age. Instead, it represents an act of recklessness that created a serious technological vulnerability for the United States and the world. In effect, this is not just an attack on specific targets, but on the trust and reliability of the world’s critical infrastructure in order to advance one nation’s intelligence agency. "

That's the most impactful part to me - whether or not this is the work of a nation or APT or just a bunch of punks, the integrity of the _entire industry_ is in question.

If every single day counted, they would have done challenge trials. What counts is following the FDA's process, and the FDA's process says that you have to administer it in the same way as the trial. No one at the FDA is going to go out on a limb just to save a few thousand lives.

Zoom takes care of customers with very heterogenous device/network conditions, which makes it reliable solution:

(1) Zoom works even in pretty bad network environment, and provides phone call fallback out of box; (2) Zoom provides a variety of clients optimized for many platform and devices.

If there are 10 people in a meeting, even 1 people facing technical issues can affect other 9 people, which is very different from typical software that can just ignore 10% customers without losing 90% customers.

They definitely have the clout, and the volume. TSMC's limited capacity and Apple's ability to pay top dollar is their only real limitation.

Yeah, I agree with GPs sentiment, but would emphasize good abstraction over a good name. Hard to define a good abstraction though, but I think a good starting place would be to make it feel single purpose. Once an abstraction becomes too multi purpose is when configuration and case switching spaghetti begins to start.
If you were denied the refund on Steam, you should know that you can resubmit refund requests to have a different employee (probably) review it. If your requests are all getting denied in about the same amount of time, it's automated and you should open a support ticket where you request a refund rather than using the refund flow.

I have gotten bad or not-as-advertised games refunded this way after being denied, despite being over the 2h mark.

Incredible.
I’ve thought about wrapping it as a proof of concept when I have some space to work on it. But I’m more inclined to try out a factory style interface (outer function initializes hooks and returns a function component that accepts the props for the base component plus state from the hooks).

I think it would fit more my preferred style as well as the kind of interface that people find attractive in hooks. It would work well with generics in TypeScript. And it wouldn’t be as fussy about the weird implicit behavior of component naming that came with wrapped/generated classes and decorators in past experiments with composition in past React fads.
Indeed, getting hired with tenure, much less into a chair, is rarely or ever your first job. But if you already have tenure, then you are likely to be hired with tenure if you switch to another university. You don't have to start from scratch, otherwise nobody in their right mind would ever switch jobs. The grade level and tenure are always negotiable.

Humans are surprisingly bad at understanding that some solutions have to be maintained to keep the problem(s) they addressed from coming back.

I get it in the case of organizational rot but sometimes it can be staring people in the face and they still don't get it, e.g. in the case of vaccines—who needs them, when nobody gets those diseases anymore?

I’ve got a hard to describe job but it’s like part data analyst and part technology strategy. Most of my peers don’t code or have people who code for them so it’s one of those things where my outputs are evaluated and don’t care how I get them, but since I can just code them myself my life is a lot more peaceful.

There’s a lot of data product people who can’t code. My org doesn’t buy or sell data so it’s really just about figuring out ways to link stuff together.
From what I remember, when remote working during the pandemic first started due to lockdowns, Zoom blew up because it was quite literally one click and you're in a call.

The initial installer would do some funky stuff in the ground I believe to bypass a lot of the usual install friction. Once it was discovered, Zoom's installation process became a little bit slower.

Next, calls were being "broken into" because there was no security so they changed the default behaviour to generate a password randomly. As a user, this meant having to go through the normal install process and then enter all this stuff in so it seemingly went from near-instant (10 seconds top from no install to in a call) through to perhaps like 5 minutes once you fiddle with macOS's permission model (that was bypassed I presume) and all that.

Personally, I hate it nowadays and it's banned on our company devices anyway but I think for plenty of users, they bought into it when it was frictionless and have no reason to change.

I think there was an element of shadow IT going on like marketing people for example using it for calls without necessarily getting sign off or oversight from IT teams, given it was "free". That's purely anecdotal mind you.
You think anyone of similar position/circumstances is gonna tell the CCP to shove it because of this example?

They have no intention of playing by our rules. Sucks, but we need to accept it for what it is and act accordingly.
I am honestly more surprised by the fact that we let these kinds of APIs creep into our browsers. What’s the scenario where a website needs to know how much RAM or what kind of video adapter I have? I get it for a game or a desktop app, but a website?

At the end of the day, we all know that any kinds of unique identifiers will be used in combination. We need to reduce those to an absolute minimum. Today’s browser APIs are leaking information like a 1920s faucet.
Wealthy people are either going to pay for their services directly, or pay through their taxes. On the other hand trying to tax money out of poor people is rather pointless, strategically speaking. Or desperate. People with no money can't effectively support a modern industrial state - we need industrialists, high-paid labour and craftspeople.

So from that perspective it isn't at all clear to me why the government needs to treat some citizens differently than others. The approach advocated in this article makes sense. As long as everyone gets an opportunity, the situation is fair.
Ad networks are strongly incentivized to perform well on slow devices, since they are paid per impression. In contrast the most valuable clicks almost always occur on the most expensive devices.

We have had passively cooled high performance devices for a while. M1 Macs are a great step, but it's more useful to compare them with previous gen mobile devices (iPad Pro 2018 ran faster than the 13" MBP at the time). Bringing ARM SoCs to laptops is also not new (e.g. Surface Pro X from Oct 2019), but I agree it's worth noting that Apple is doing a great job of it. Best x86 translation out there.
In this specific case, the problem they were into is that the quota system had been different for three months, but the differences were not being enforced.

It's very unclear how they would have gone about Canary that period really, the canary should have been done on the quota side. The quota system should have enabled enforcement to 1% of the quota clients.

but it turns out it's actually hard to configure that sort of thing. The ways you can slice subsets of Google infrastructure are absolutely holographic, and it costs engineering time to change the slices.
