Yes, but they can also be a criminal.

Criminal is not a race. It is not a class. It is not a profession. Nobody is a criminal until they do a crime, and anyone can do a crime.

Most crimes are done by poor people in desperation at great risk. The most harmful crimes are done by rich people out of greed with very little risk.

Ya after writing it, I think what's going on is that I do everything declaratively now. So it's great that AWS lets us create the AWS policy files rather than making us manage permissions through code.

But I want to see the infrastructure as a big spreadsheet, turn on a policy, and see the accessible services highlight. basically I need something like an acceptance/integration test that proves that my permissions work like I think they do.

Without something formal like that, I can't help but feel that IAM is risky to rely on alone. To the point that, I would be wary of using it, and even view it as more of a liability than a useful tool. This is really a general conceptual issue with the abstraction of roles/permissions from a computer science perspective. My gut feeling is probably that the general authentication-based logins of the open internet and circles of trust are better mechanisms for securing services. That said, I do really appreciate that we can reference security group ids in new security group rules. Once I started chaining the references like that, and having subnet rules in a central place, things worked more smoothly.

I would never use roles/permissions for new development though is what I'm trying to say (whether for web development or web hosting). I don't think it makes sense to screen access by which network was used, or the source IP of the user trying to gain access. These are somewhat antiquated notions that make sense for sysadmins, but I don't think they make sense for the vast majority of use cases that web developers encounter. We could just use the open web's CLIENT_ID=abc, CLIENT_SECRET=xyz pattern for all AWS services. But maybe there's some advantage with roles and permissions that I'm not seeing.

Sorry I come off as Negative Nancy, but this issue really concerns me, and I don't see much talk about it on sites like Stack Overflow.
I think that could be even further generalized to:

Do you think command line software developing for Linux is a paid full time job? My day job is on macOS where I've been using Homebrew for about 7 years.

I know its warts. I don't say that it isn't broken for the usecase you are describing. I'm saying that like the Homebrew developers, if Apple were in charge of Homebrew, they wouldn't care about such a use case because it would only affect a tiny percentage of their user base.

If you don't believe that just look how old the user base command line tools are that are installed by default on macOS.

I typically just use doctor to mean “person who takes primary responsibility for medical treatment” in any setting. They’re the person in the room who has decision making power and responsibility for those decisions. I didn’t even realize that people were weird about using doctor to refer to people without an MD. Because DOs are definitely doctors too, why not an OD or DDS?
If you're using wage theft as an example of how the game is rigged, then you also need to consider time theft: logging additional time that wasn't actually worked.

Yep, one of the motivations for me is learning & establishing health baseline. For example, with blood tests it's unlikely that I'll be able to infer any interesting correlations (at the very least because you can't do them every day, with the exception of glucose/ketones perhaps). However I'll know what is 'normal' for my body and if something breaks, hopefully will have some clues.
We call doctors “doctors” not because of the “D” in MD but because they are doctors.

I honestly think the aversion to screening has more to do with other political and economic factors. For example, lung cancer screening has been shown to clearly reduce all-cause mortality in an extremely comprehensive study with 7 years of followup (NLST). These results are also replicated in studies around the world.

The problem is, how do you properly incentivize patients, providers and payers to actually implement this? The payoffs are not immediate but are rather long term for everyone involved: it takes 6+ years to clearly see the significant mortality reduction payoff actually show up in the data. The downsides, on the other hand, are immediate (another trip to the hospital/imaging center, deaths due to false positives, increased costs, more work for clinicians).
Germany has recently passed a law which allows the government to seize property where the source of the money is not clear. This was done originally to prevent arabic clans from buying rental properties around the country, but I can imagine it applying to whatever money he's got from that sale as well.
I'm a really bad person to ask about watches. At my current weight/body fat, my wrist circumference is less than 6 inches. Watches, even a woman's size, look absolutely goofy on me. Imagine a little kid playing dressup and wearing his dad's watch. That's me in a watch!! :)

> In my anecdotal experience, big companies are far less likely to behave fraudulently than small, local companies.

I'd imagine it's kind of a bell curve, with very small companies more likely (since some of those are 'fly by night'), increasing to some point due to more oversight / legitimacy needed to run a bigger organization, until they start to become powerful enough that corrupt people can hide things or accept fraudulent actions as a 'cost of business'.

Didn't investigate methods (and wouldn't be very qualified to judge anyway), but this study might not catch the smaller fish, so it would skew towards only catching the bigger ones, leading to the conclusion
I certainly hope that you’re right, I am genuinely worried about this stupid bill. Not only for myself, but for my family and friends.

I'm working on getting my semi truck to Chico CA. I left Laramie on I-80 westbound this morning, having been shut down the previous two days for wind and ice.

That road is still closed to light high profile vehicles, but this trip I'm almost at max legal 80,000 lbs (I'm at 78,500), so I was able to drive. Carefully.

My test suite includes arriving with all eighteen wheels on the ground Tuesday morning, with Donner Pass still to go.

Over the past few years I’ve thought about building something similar to Home Assistant, but for human centered data and APIs vs home centered. Essentially a shared bus on which different data sources could be plugged into a standardized format, on which people could build dashboards and automations.

I don't know the literature as well for Breast Cancer, but at least as implemented in the UK there seems to be clear evidence for reduction in all-cause mortality. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6121088/

Edit: hastily posted an article without reading it... this is not correct.
This is a prediction about what I think will happen, not what’s morally correct. People almost always make decisions based on their personal best interest, so a community with a “regressive” tax structure would be really attractive to remote high earners. Most people who work remotely now would pay much less tax if the burden was shared equally, so why wouldn’t they move to a community like that?

FTFY.

Seriously, what's so hard about not being actively intolerant or even violent towards other people based on their sexuality (which shouldn't even affect you anyway)?

Some men are sexually attracted to women, some to other men, some to both and some to neither.

Some women are sexually attracted to men, some to other women, some to both and some to neither.

As long as someone doesn't (sexually) harass you why would any of that matter?

Seriously... some places even have a death penalty for being gay/lesbian/bi. How screwed in the head would someone have to be to believe that was even remotely OK? I'm actually waiting for the day when enough people have had enough of this and other kinds of religious repression and rise up to purge these fanatic theocracies everywhere.
Did you read TFA? I know we're not supposed to ask the question on this site, but the article answers that question quite thoroughly.
> “Until I can detect a well-developed ‘sense of mathematical taste’ in AI, I expect its role to be that of an important auxiliary tool, not that of independent discoverer.”

AI, no, but ML, yes. ML can only make estimates, e.g. compute functions, it doesn’t have judgement. That requires a human decision maker. It goes back to what I learned in primary school about computers: “a computer can only do what you tell it to do.”
> >the country’s 83 percent recidivism rate

> Holy shizz, that's a lot.

As far as I can tell that’s the rearrest rate, and possibly only the rearrest rate for state offenders, which is higher than for federal (it doesn't exactly match any of the sources I've found, but that's what it seems closest to.)

Reconviction (including determination of a parole violation) rates are much lower (somewhere between 50-60% im various sources.

And both are heavily tied to other demographic, offense type, and criminal history factors that I'm going to guess are also very influential in selection for the program, so the the expected recidivism rate for those entering the program—whether measured by rearrest, reconviction, or any other standard—would probably be much lower than the overall criminal population.

> It's as if US laws and prisons aren't there to rehabilitate an individual but to turn him against society for good,

To the extent something like that is a factor, it's almost backwards: US criminal laws are very disproportionately used against people that society has turned against for reasons other than criminality. Now, it's true that the criminal “justice” system isn't rehabilitative, but it's targets not being turned against society further by it wouldn't protect them from being retargeted.
ABAC is ideally much more than just scoping small sets of policy to tags. I think the problem of trying to shoehorn ABAC into AWS's IAM system, even with something implementing proper ABAC on top of it, is that you run the risk of hitting limits on role policy attachments (hard limit of 20!). There is probably a way to juggle user function across different roles, though then there's a risk of exhausting roles or still not being able to shoehorn a minimally viable policy for some function based on fine-grained attributes.
If you had read TFA you would understand that it was a bipartisan effort.
Sure. Define "interesting".

An intelligent 'driving brain' with LIDAR data can be better than one with camera data. It's probably also easier to do well with Lidar. As such Lidar might be viewed as a crutch, if and when the brain functions well without it.

I don't think anyone disputes these things. The main point of disagreement is 'when'.
As soon as I read "financial securities fraud identified in SEC filings…" immediately brought to mind an article in Bloomberg [1]:

"Securities fraud is a universal regulatory regime; anything bad that is done by or happens to a public company is also securities fraud, and it is often easier to punish the bad thing as securities fraud than it is to regulate it directly."

this right after:

"And so contributing to global warming is securities fraud, and sexual harassment by executives is securities fraud, and customer data breaches are securities fraud, and mistreating killer whales is securities fraud, and whatever else…"

[1] https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-06-26/everyt...

The point of TFA likely still stands, but I wonder to what extent the points from Levine's Bloomberg article colors, or skews the data.

Feels like this is a totally different topic.

What if: Neuroplasticity allows you to build new base cognitive tools from sensory information, or dump/change existing tools. If you build sufficiently numerous, broad, and adaptive tools when you are young, you will be able to do many, many things when you are older.

Still might have challenges learning new languages, or say to dance if you never learned how to dance at all, at the same rate as a toddler, tho.
but... If it does, what a fast political state change. If bitcoin were to reach say, 200k a piece, it would put trillions of dollars into the hands of this previously unknown people jutting to be the richest humans on the planet. With this potential bill, it would give them a 'government' in Nevada to back it. Now, what the Federal Governments reaction to this is going to be? Who knows.
It seems odd, to me, that someone of Loeb's standing would put such public effort into pushing a theory about this intriguing interstellar interloper when it is long beyond our reach; it was noticed only when on the way out of our sensor range in the first place.

Yes, an abandoned/junk lightsail might account for the behaviour noticed. But, despite the reference in the article to Sherlock Holmsian deduction, I really doubt that "all other possibilities" have been ruled out.

I love the idea, though, and would be happy if it were shown to be true.

By the time you can launch a planet-killer, you are no longer tied to your own planet anymore. It requires marshaling an amount of energy far beyond what you could afford to do in a biosphere, and a biosphere is all a planet really has to offer. Two of these civilizations might certainly take a swing at each other's planets, but it wouldn't end the war by any means; at this point the planet may not even account for single-digit percentages of what is going on in the system.

I think if you look ahead at feasible technology, you get self-sustaining pure-space civilizations long before you get civilizations that can launch relativistic planet killers.

(The other problem with the "planet killer" hypothesis, as we've discussed in other HN conversations, is that there's no reason to wait until there's a civilization on the other end to launch one, given how fast they can pop up. As soon as you see life, you should launch one. But Earth has been broadcasting fairly conclusive proof that a civilization with just a bit more tech than we have now is alive ever since the Great Oxygen Catastrophe, yet nobody has killed Earth.)

> We’ve had inequality throughout history it’s not unique to 2021.

Inequality is essential to the idea of social progress so if it's exacerbated in degree, it challenges the idea that we have progressed whatsoever.

In the case of the 20th century there was a brief period where we developed a large middle class, and then post-1971 ended losing much of our gains in equity-per-capita along with stagnant wages. https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/

Many luxuries have become cheaper, which raises the overall standard of living for those people integrated into the global economy (a large number to be sure, still dwarfed by the number of people that need to be lifted out of poverty).

But as seen on that first chart in the link above, the ability to capture the wealth of the economy on a whole has diminished for the individual (without resorting to measures that exacerbate inequality further, like inheritances or usury). In the long-run this reverses many of the gains made in having a middle class.
