So, attribution doesn't work that way.

During an active incident, attribution details are not published. This incident still has people responding to it, and potentially further impacted victims. Indicators of compromise are published to allow for entities to hunt for malware or evidence of breach within their environments, but details that directly attribute a particular strain of malware to a threat actor are generally not shared (at least with the general public). Publishing those details could cause the threat actor to change those details and therefore evade detection and persist in impacted environments.

Let's take the Google breach of 2009, known as Operation Aurora as an example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Aurora). China was claimed to be the culprit at the time, but it was not until three years later that Fireeye / Mandiant finally published the details that were used to track and identify the threat actor as part of their APT1 report (https://www.fireeye.com/blog/threat-research/2013/02/mandian...).

In this particular case, even though the known impacted entity count is around 250, around 18 thousand entities downloaded the backdoored version of SolarWinds and are at risk. Publishing attribution details now could negatively impact their response. When respected entities in the field make a claim on attribution, generally it is accepted as if those entities were lying, their service (and potentially some of their executives as they are publicly traded in some cases) would go to jail.

It's important to note that each responding team will have access to different data sources and be able to make different claims as a result. CrowdStrike declined to do attribution, whereas FireEye was more definitive with naming a group. This is likely as FireEye was impacted first hand and was able to capture indicators that are not public. (One of the steps of IR is containment, where you observe a threat actors activity to figure out where they are in your environment, so you literally get to watch them some.)

The people in charge of the various government agencies are politicians without experience in this area true, but they are briefed and educated by the experts that do have experience in that space. Likewise, Washington Post is known for vetting stories in this space carefully. At this stage in the game, it is highly unlikely it is not Russia, as this sales pitch is very similar to when Russian associated actors leaked the NSA toolset. It too was advertised for sale via bitcoin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow_Brokers).

Anyways, if you're interested in this space, go find your local incident response (DFIR) meetup and ask how they track malware families. IP addresses are probably not one of their best signals for who made malware or executed an attack.
I was curious, so I did a GIS for "capitol riot [nazi] flags" and was unable to find any pictures of people flying actual Nazi flags. There may have been more subtle things, like an article mentioned "stickers" but I didn't see anything I could identify. There was the guy with the "Auschwitz" shirt.

People did fly the Confederate flag though, so "white supremacists" seems beyond a reasonable doubt.
It's time for red states to create their own country and the rest of the US should be renamed to something like Censored States of America (CSU).
I'm not saying I'm entitled to a google account, but I do think I should be entitled to fair warning that I am being kicked off. Google should be required to send me notice so I can get my data out and on to a competing platform.

Like with rentals, they can deny me service at the start, but once they take me on to the platform, short of a gross abuse of the service, I should be entitled to a warning before the service is terminated.
Does making someone pay change that specific person's behavior? Or is it that raising your price just filters out certain people? Perhaps the remaining people would have been nice at any price?
Parlor did not get thrown out of the bar because of their "conservative voices", they got thrown out because they threatened the other drinkers with knifes, shat on the floor and pissed on the tables while shouting 'Fuck Yea America !'

You imply that all "conservative voices" are raging fuckwits, and while I long resisted that big brush view its becoming harder and harder to do. Especially when self-confessed "conservatives" just assert that yea, that's just the way we talk and act, fuck off if you don't like it. And now the conservative snowflakes scream blue murder when the same rules are applied to them.
Where do you get me suggesting cloud provider companies are editorial institutions? That's just asinine. By choosing not to business with Parler they're exercising their freedom of assembly. They can't be compelled to do business with Parler. This has nothing at all to do with editorial anything. AWS is just infrastructure you pay to use and have to agree to their terms of service.

No part of AWS or Twilio fall under common carrier regulations. They can choose with whom they do business. They would and do cancel service for clients doing illegal things or against their TOS.

Amazon doesn't owe Parler a viable business. Parler made themselves into a toxic environment that drove third parties to abandon them.
Re the comparison - Yes it seems far different if you look 30's nazism as a historical artifact, in retrospect. But the genocidey things only happened pretty late in the game and was even then kept in secret for long. A better point of comparison is what happened earier, there's plenty of differences and similarities to be found there worth arguing.
I noticed this too. Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey have both tweeted weird endorsements of Signal lately.
I know little about Egyptian, but as I understand it it evolved to be phonetic, and much of our alphabet consists of highly simplified Egyptian hieroglyphs.

This I learned from a Nova show last year.

As for a dictionary, google says there are 700 Egyptian hieroglyphs. That's small enough that one can realistically look up one in the dictionary by exhaustive search. That doesn't work for English with a million words, and having no sort order is what I meant about no dictionary.

Any sort order for a picture of a duck and a picture of a house is going to be arbitrary. For English, one memorizes the (arbitrary) sort order of 26 letters, and then the rest requires no additional learning.

> You can combine icons to form words.

Indeed, and that is a crucial step along the way from a picture language to a phonetic alphabet!

> It also doesn't prevent us from talking about actions in the future.

What picture represents tomorrow?

> You get used to variation as the rule.

Apple will sue you if it looks anything like a trash can, not just a variation. Amusingly, many apps on the iphone use the word "delete". The icon empire is showing cracks!
Why Deep Learning Compilers Like TensorFlow XLA TVM Is Needed
I feel like this is more a sociological or even philosophical question but why are users like this, in particular for something that is free? Sometimes I wish we were more grateful for things instead of being so damn entitled (about a free service, nonetheless!).

That reply that is on the bug report (literally the post about being nice) which accusing the author of needing to "man up" is too on the nose.
IIRC, they have basically an instance of a scraper for every different bank web site, which to me doesn't seem very scalable. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but when I interviewed a few years ago, it definitely seemed that way.
> can't find Karadzic

Maybe they don't let us use their scanners.
It’s true that the North AKA the United States did not start the Civil War to end slavery. Mainly because the North did not start the Civil War at all.

Southern states started the Civil War by seceding to form the Confederacy, and more specifically by attacking U.S. Fort Sumter, an act of war. They did that to preserve and expand slavery. So it’s still correct to say that the Civil War was about slavery.

That's not a good way to teach someone to code and there's a reason why absolutely no curriculum on the planet does it that way. If you're teaching someone how to operate a car you start by showing them which pedal is the gas and which is the brake, not by explaining to them how a differential works. The pedagogical basics and the lowest level system primitives are not the same thing.

I think facebook and twitter pushed too hard for people to post everything publicly under their real name. Now we are seeing a shift back to made up usernames and private publishing. I don't know many people who share anything publicly but we all share constantly in private IM groups.

For most sites I don't bother remembering a password. I just sign up every time I need to log in which keeps my accounts young enough that there isn't a significant backlog to trawl through and identify me.
Partial is true, also temporally different, and geographically different, arisen during times of different levels of literacy. So many factors.
>If you believe that it's just fine for persons or organizations to have their freedom of association rights abridged, then you are anti-freedom and stand in opposition...

This is utter nonsense. For example, abridging a company's right to not "associate" with minorities/gays/etc, i.e. their right to not serve them, is not anti-liberty. If the goal is maximizing liberty, it takes targeted regulation to achieve the maximal state. Ensuring everyone can participate in the economic and social infrastructure is a feature of maximizing liberty.
They had a series of blunders in the last year but, the drivers (GPU, Ethernet) got stabilized back, it seems.

I've been burned by them, so I experienced the blunders first hand.
This will vary by company and what they value. I've worked at LinkedIn and Amazon. At both, the common thread is generally that PE's have impact across several teams. Coding is often minimal and typically focused on highly complex / mission critical code or prototyping. Majority of time is spent reviewing / developing architecture. The problems and solutions they tackle become more ambiguous. In many cases, PE's are the ones identifying problems proactively. Often at smaller companies, this role may be more code heavy.

I'm co-founder of Levels.fyi - we think of this a lot and have developed a 'Standard' leveling based on what we've observed the roles and responsibilities are across many companies. This is the description we have for Principal Engineer:

Impact spans across organizations within the company. Entrusted with business-critical projects and for setting technical vision for an org or multiple orgs. Responsible for reviewing and providing feedback on technical designs across an org. Little to no day-to-day coding. Role depends highly on organizational / company needs and becomes loosely defined. Expected to operate fully autonomously.

You can see descriptions for other levels at: https://www.levels.fyi/standard/

I'm under 25 and I can say that I don't think people are publishing much publicly outside of the political nutcases. Everything is inside private IM groups / discord voice chats these days.

I think shutting down the internet and kicking violent insurrectionists off of a social media platform are two different issues. Twitter is not the internet.
Could anyone provide feedback on this news platform I created? Thanks in advance
The platform provides news in a more positive perspective and allows anyone to create news articles.
This does not read like they wanted to cooperate. 7 weeks is a nothing for a large feature. Apple gave them 24 hours which is a joke, if not an insult. Features are complex in large apps that are social networks (which in fact are dozens of apps under the hood, on the backend and frontend).

If they really wanted them to implement some content moderation, it would have been more time, not to mention a clear specification for the feature changes they want, to prevent the solution from getting rejected again.
Pretty much how 99% of this data robbery happens by all surveillance companies.

This is why Facebook is so pissed off at Apple that it dares to ASK users first.

"Most users aren't aware what data is gathered about them" is about 10x more accurate than "users don't care about privacy", even though it's the latter that gets repeated all the time (with some help from the surveillance companies themselves spreading this propaganda).
Now that storage is infinite and cheap, it's become trendy for engineers to never actually remove anything, but to just set a "deleted" flag in a database somewhere. This makes a lot of tricky things easier, but there are pitfalls.

Years later, in the fifteenth re-implementation of some part of some service, somebody is going to forget to read that bit. Or an errant database migration isn't going to transfer it properly. Or the database will be leaked, and all of the "deleted" content will still be there (e.g. the Parler dump). Or a race condition will cause the check to occasionally be ignored every other Sunday.

Discovering that this is happening can be next to impossible. An application might read the deleted bit correctly when generating the ordered list of stuff you've looked at, but might not read it correctly (or might deliberately ignore it) when generating your advertising profile or when making content recommendations. I swear I've seen this on Amazon, though of course, I'll never be able to prove it.

Chilling effects / social cooling includes stuff like this. "I'm not even going to click on that, because I don't trust the platform to clear my history properly."
I dont mind Apple putting more restrictions around signing, but they make it SO onerous for Desktop users to explicitly allow unsigned apps.

Parler is not a competitor to any of Amazon, Apple or Google, the three companies involved.
Real SQL Interview Questions
What software I use is none of his business right up until it starts affecting computers he owns. This isn't that complicated. If I decide that I don't want people wearing red shirts to enter my house, then that's stupid, but within my rights and does not meaningfully infringe upon your right to wear whatever color shirt you want.

I don't see how restrictions on what is allowed to connect to privately run servers can magically cause software to become non-free. Nor do I see any way in which those restrictions existing (again on computers neither you nor I own) in any way violates the spirit of free software or in any way denies you and I the freedoms that free software is supposed to respect.
We have other more democratic models of handling this in distributed social networks that aren't under centralised corporate control. Email, telephone system, Mastodon... Federation and regulated platforms, and some other ways of organisation let you have localised systems of censorship that aren't all-powerful in the network.
>> takes more paper to write the same text
> In practice, a text in Egyptian hieroglyphs and its English translation are more or less the same length.

I was careful in saying "more paper", not longer. The hieroglyphs take up more vertical space. While in Japan, I noticed a book written in Japanese characters was significantly larger than the same book written in Romanji. I was surprised, having assumed that the more information-dense Japanese characters would implicitly take less space.
> You've either got the right mentality, or you don't.

Referring to that comment you linked... yeah, I can't reach the fourth level. Maybe not the third level. But, ever heard of the phrase "aim for the stars and land in the clouds"? Aim for the third level, and maybe land in the second.

I think it is possible to improve ourselves by emulating the people we look up to. Is it something to do with their mentality? Then emulate that mentality. Fake it till you make it. Which is why I think it is a useful exercise to try to improve ourselves in a direction that we may not be headed on currently.

Although, to be fair, I do partially see where you're coming from. People shouldn't try to change themselves for external benefits. But if we really have an internal drive to change ourselves, then I think we do need to look up to people at the third level and try to understand them.

Sorry for all the cliched phrasing here.
If you sell 50 copies independently for $100 you save $10 or $500.

If listing it in the App Store means you would sell 150 copies instead, how much is that savings worth?

India: Car follows Google maps; drowns in dam
> GPU driver in the kernel and be off to the races with an ARM laptop for Linux.

Not sure I am reading this correctly.

AMD already has GPU RDNA drivers in Linux kernel. So It doesn't need Samsung to kick start this.

The partnership with Samsung ARM and AMD RDNA GPU SoC only goes for Phone and Tablet, or any market that AMD silicon currently does not currently operate in.
There is always a constitutional convention

https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/constitution

But that puts the whole constitution in play. I’m guessing those who hope for electoral reform will get a ban on abortions instead.
I mean, if everyone were well behaved in life and would just "be nice", there would be no need for laws, or police, or moderators.

I think everyone is realizing that software/tech doesn't magically solve fundamental human dynamics, no matter how much it fixes other problems. And that you need to have non-negligible resources dedicated to policing/enforcing rules so that we can have nice things.

And be grateful for those who do.

There is a world out there ready to mess up your carefully built shit, by maliciousness, honest inadvertence, people not reading the directions, people learning for the first time and making mistakes, or just sheer incompetence, or indifference.
There are plenty of conservatives on Twitter and Facebook. Being a conservative doesn't get you banned. Being a shitty person gets you banned.

> Figure out what isn't optimal from there and iterate

I am inclined to be a perfectionist. So... I would modify #3 to guard against that:

Figure out what isn't optimal, prioritise, and then iterate.
The problem I see is that the US has some very serious and widespread flaws. The live and let live attitude doesn't push for resolution to these issues.

If we say for example the police system is not working as it should and many people are dying or being locked away unnecessarily, how do you fix this when the leaders of your country are unwilling to do anything. The only options you have make you one of those 'identity politics people'.
Surely the desire of the north maintain the integrity of the union is an equal factor to the motivations of the Confederacy. There were incentives on both sides and they were not necessarily the same.
You can have a war where two groups have different primary motiviations.

This does not to provide a moral excuse for the institution of slavery, but simply a clairification of fact.
Malda and Langda (my fav) are quite similar. Other popular varieties are Daseri, Totapuri, Safeda, Chausa
Interesting question. To add to it, if indeed it is so easy for people to be misled into believing they saw things that they didn't, what does that say about eyewitness testimony in court used to convict suspected criminals?

We discount people who make extraordinary claims because their claims contradict our understanding of the world. But if some percent of eyewitness testimony is totally fake even when it is unbelievable, shouldn't we also discount testimony at an even greater rate when it doesn't contradict our worldview? Or are we to believe that this particular tendency to see things that didn't happen is limited to aliens and not run of the mill murders?
> Growing up in a very charismatic flavor of Christianity I thought I 'experienced' a lot of phenomenon that I now look back on with contempt

I firsthand experienced a charismatic Christian telling me a story about how one time his car wouldn't start, and then some stranger appeared to help him get it started again, and then once the car was running the stranger was gone – totally believable, everyday occurrence, except for my interlocutor's insistence that the stranger wasn't a human being, but actually an angel sent by God appearing in human form.

I wonder what that random stranger would think if he knew he's been turned into an angel in the mind of the person he helped.
While people should be nice, maybe it's time for Signal to hire a professional community manager. If developers do support on such forums (who else would be disappointed by unilateral demands?), it is a productivity killer.

Telegram has such person for full time, I follow them on Twitter, and their responses are usually hilarious https://twitter.com/telegram/with_replies

For example, when people demand something from Telegram, their response is usually brainless "I'll pass that to developers" or something slightly more witty like "it's planned for 2301, watch for updates". Everybody's happy.
