Adapting to Means Testing
I learned something from reading this article. Plus Mae West was a hacker of a sort: she interpreted censorship as damage and routed around it. Obviously not as much of a hacker as Hedy Lamarr, but still she led an interesting life.
Here's one possible explanation:

> The vast majority of states adopted new high-stakes teacher evaluation systems between 2011 and 2016.

> We find that high-stakes evaluation reforms reduced the supply of newly licensed teachers by 16 to 18%.

> Evaluation reforms increased the probability a school had at least one unfilled teaching vacancy with effects concentrated in traditionally hard-to-staff schools.

> Evaluation reforms also increased the quality of new teachers by decreasing the supply of teachers coming from less competitive undergraduate institutions.

Sorry, thought that was in the story: Environmental Control System, which is the aircraft subsystem responsible for pressurizing and cooling/heating the cabin.
They are already regulated but apparently this is most likely a major and intentional oversight. Why? My best guess as to why you can't have a separate air intake from bleed air is that you need the pressurization and the heat. And the extra weight of a different system is cost prohibitive and maybe less reliable. I would hope you could have a primary system that was all electric and taken from a safer bleed or entire system and then use the secondary bleed air system.

Statement from Microsoft President here on security

https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2020/12/17/cyberat...

"One of the more chilling developments this year has been what appears to be new steps to use AI to weaponize large stolen datasets about individuals and spread targeted disinformation using text messages and encrypted messaging apps."

"a second evolving threat, namely the growing privatization of cybersecurity attacks through a new generation of private companies, akin to 21st-century mercenaries."

"As humanity raced to develop vaccines, Microsoft security teams detected three nation-state actors targeting seven prominent companies directly involved in researching vaccines and treatments for Covid-19."

"One indicator of the current situation is reflected in the federal government’s insistence on restricting through its contracts our ability to let even one part of the federal government know what other part has been attacked. Instead of encouraging a “need to share,” this turns information sharing into a breach of contract. It literally has turned the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations upside down."

Excellent point. The goal of honest language should be the creation of correct beliefs about reality in the minds of who listens to you, even if those beliefs might sometimes not serve your ends. Otherwise, it's not communication, it's warring against truth.

> Static Typing is important, but the thing with Python is really the lack of a compiler - compilers (ignoring efficiency) catch bugs now rather than half way through a job

Nope, that's static type checkers (which are often part of compilers), not compilers as a separate thing from static type checking. In fact, Python has a compiler run in the course of normal execution.

And Python also has static type checkers available (and good editor integrations for them), they are just separate from the compiler.

> Obviously Linters do exist but a sufficiently advanced Linter is not only repeating work a compiler would've done, but also probably requires some kind of help e.g. annotation)

Yes, static type checkers whether incorporated in a compiler or separately tend to need type annotations to do their best work, especially if the type system isn't specifically crafted to maximize inferrability (Haskell can get away with fewer annotations than Java, often.)

Suggestion: I've participated in similar swaps but via sites like RPG Geek. I marked what I had and was willing to sell/trade, and what I wanted to buy/trade.

Instead of supplying addresses directly, establish connections between people and they can elect to either pursue the trade or not.

I don't agree. That document states that the CVEs have historically required one of two preconditions:

> The attacker can submit and run arbitrary SQL statements.

> The attacker can submit a maliciously crafted database file to the application that the application will then open and query.

If you look at the actual list of CVEs, all but one start with ‘Malicious SQL statement’. The single one that doesn't is suffixed with ‘The bug never appeared in any official SQLite release’.

In other words, there has never been an official release of SQLite which was vulnerable when presented with a crafted database file.

> our economies are based on constantly pushing up consumption, not having it simply be based upon natural, unforced demand.

Setting aside the appeal to nature fallacy, there's nothing special about the market process in "our economies". Of course suppliers want to increase profits, and one way is to increase the quantity supplied -- but that takes willing consumers.

If consumers prefer a cheaper thing now with a shorter life span, or to pay for something with their attention instead of their money, is the "problem" that the market process gives people what they want, or that their preferences should be substituted with your own?
That's not my culture. I don't misrepresent things like that. And I don't frown on I curse. But no one cares what I think.
Management in any business wants employees to be as efficient as possible to squeeze the max output per dollar paid out. Exceptions exist, but that is roughly the incentive structure created by how companies are valued by markets. If productivity wasn’t the only goal, jobs could get easier in many ways - devs might get longer time to work on a feature, warehouse workers might get less aggressive targets on how many boxes are shipped per day, employees might get more vacation or longer breaks or 4 day work weeks.

> Consumers can pay a bit more, and Jeff Bezos can be a bit less wealthy.

Bezos' wealth is in amazon infrastructure/capital goods which delivers consumer goods to millions of people a day, and crucially, cannot be converted to food. How are you proposing to transform the market capitalization of amazon into a higher standard of living for the average person?

> Many developed countries have a reasonable minimum/living wage,

According to whom? I'm sure there are millions of wage laborers in those countries who would prefer to make more money and consider their preference to be entirely reasonable. Workers in the United States have a reasonable living wage, therefore nothing need change.

> World’s smallest violin.

Right, read an economics textbook please. People can't eat money.

(responding to your edit)

> The wealth exists. Tax it.

So return on investment goes down, which lowers marginal profitability, meaning fewer firms are solvent. Then people have fewer places to work and fewer places to buy goods. People who worked at those businesses are now out of work so the few remaining businesses have more labor to choose from, justifying them paying even less. Everyone who doesn't get a job can just get public assistance, meaning they aren't contributing with their labor but they still bid for goods, causing the price of goods to go up. Thats a terrible idea.

> This isn’t about monetary inflation (as your quote attempts to conflate with wealth),

Per Krugman, monetary inflation is intended to drive down real wages.

> it’s about redistributing existing and future wealth

You can redistribute it so people can have a higher standard of living momentarily by purchasing consumption items. Thats exchanging capital for consumer goods, which results in a lower standard of living over time because there is less capital. Additionally the profits from those sales of consumer goods accrue to the people who still hold productive capital, i.e. the wealthy. You're describing a process that causes the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

I really doubt it, all these hacks come and fade from the news cycle and nothing happens. The more I think about it the more I am convinced that until there's a large body of crime that the news cycle can point to and be outraged about, nothing substantial will be done. The hack occurred and nobody knows if anything was taken or if it was just information that was collected. It will take months for a conclusive investigation.

So far negligence in cybersecurity hasn't resulted in anything spectacularly failing like a giant explosion or a building collapsing and hundreds or thousands of people dying. Until something horrific like that happens there won't be pressure or political will to exert the appropriate measures that responsible governance should put in place.
