By making sure each type of C++ object is allocated in an arena, then many memory safety issues (use after free, buffer overflow) can only impact objects in the same arena. In Chromium land, they're called Partitions.

That means an attacker has to find some memory safety issue and some code execution issue in the same object. They can't corrupt memory using one flaw and then get code execution by forcing another type of object to be allocated at the same place.

This is silly, we are all observed by other people almost all of our lives, but that's fine because they don't conspire behind our backs to create a comprehensive record that's handed over to the government. I don't mind if the building security records me entering the building, or the bank records me using the ATM, or that London Transport videos me on the train. What I object to is if all of those are stitched together and handed over to advertising agencies or my employer.

Likewise I don't care that Google knows what I searched for, or that Twitter knows what I tweeted, or that LinkedIn has my employment history. What I don't want is all of that being sold to Cambridge Analytica to then aggregate and sell on to someone else for goodness knows what purposes.

An awful lot of my life and interests are easily searchable. My handle here is basically just my name, and I use the same handle or even more complete versions everywhere I can. When I'm out in public, the public can see me. When I post in public, the public can read what I say. That's fine, that's why I said it.

However my private correspondences with my wife and kids on iMessage or WhatsApp are nobody else's business. My bank transactions and online shopping likewise, that latter is mainly between me and Amazon. Where I would get upset is if Amazon sold that data to Google to show me 'relevant ads', or show my purchases to my friends. Remember Facebook Beacon? There need to be clear, hard lines in the sand.
This isn't a matter of understanding a "situation" it is a matter of understanding technology. Cryptocurrencies do work in general on a technical level. They have unique properties of ideal money that separate them from other forms of money and that makes them valuable is a very broad sense. Bitcoin crippled itself intentionally to keep its throughput at a few transactions per second for the entire world and less data than a 240p youtube video.

> There are tradeoffs to increasing the block size/rate.

This is what people say when they haven't looked at real numbers and are just repeating propaganda. Users don't need to sync with the blockchain. Average transaction fees were $28 a few days ago while the entire bitcoin blockchain takes up $6 of hard drive space. The average blocksize is less than 900KB. 900KB every 10 minutes. That's 1.5KB/s. That's dial up speed. www.reddit.com would take 36 minutes to load at that speed.

> If the market overwhelmingly believed that Bitcoin was doing it wrong then they could easily move to one of those other coins

"The market" is detached from technology. No one is really using bitcoin or taking their balance out of exchanges with $28 transaction fees. They are moving to other coins, that is absolutely what has happened as a result.

> Maybe Bitcoin does have it wrong, but I don't think it's obvious like you are implying.

It's pretty obvious with grade school math.

In what way are the interest rates on fixed loans artificial though may I ask?
I bought the K3 from them (low profile, 75% layout) and I gave it an honest shot for a few weeks, but before long just went back to an Apple Magic Keyboard. I liked the feedback, but the travel was still longer, the keys were much louder, I wasn't a fan of the layout, and frankly, I just prefer chiclet keys. I really wanted to like it, but after that experience and working with another, more traditional mechanical for a while before it, I just cannot imagine using them for day-to-day development work.

The K3 was about as close to a replacement for the Magic Keyboard that I have found, though. It's a good keyboard and if I wasn't so used to and familiar with the Magic Keyboard, I probably would have loved it. I just think the Magic Keyboard is better for my preferences.
I really like my Unicomp with the Linux specific layout. It's not the highest quality or best looking keyboard ever, but it lets me type a lot faster than any other keyboard I've owned.
I thought so too, but the Matt Levine article says the debt was trading at 42c in the dollar, so likely people didn't expect the debt to be repaid. This makes the loss $300mm instead of $500mm, but is worse than your (and mine) initial take.
If NVIDIA feels the need to gimp the upcoming RTX 3060, that suggests that the new CMP cards will not be attractive enough to compete on their own price/merit, or that they will be similarly supply constrained. That said, I'm curious to see how they perform for machine learning.
The value of the debt is 42¢on the dollar. So Citi is down 58% on the book value of the $500M in debt. They lost close to $300M from the mistake.
The debt-to-GDP ratio has two inputs: Debt and GDP. The ratio has partially increased due to rising debt, but most of the increase came from falling GDP in this case.

I agree that excessive debt is bad, but I also can see that counter-cyclical fiscal policy can help shorten recessions such as the COVID recession.

Note that only 1/3 of the headline number comes from government debt. The rest is private sector.

I’m in the camp that thinks we’ve overcompensated for this recession with too much spending, but I also don’t think it’s as catastrophically bad as some of the claims. We’re running the economy red hot and it will eventually pull back, but at the same time we would have had a recession right away due to COVID lockdowns if not for some amount of stimulus.

It’s a tricky balance to get right and we’ll never get it perfect, but I also don’t think that we’re winding up for some sort of economic collapse. Pullbacks will happen, but like previous recessions they too will end.

I know several people who have been betting on a recession for over 5 years now by exiting the stock market. At this point we could have a 50% drop in the stock market and they’d still only break even on that bet.

The debt was trading at nearly $0.50 on the dollar because it was questionable whether Revlon could pay. So the funds got a very nice payday.
> In your fantasy you basically stripped the Russians of all humanity to the point where they would intentionally poison a river with highly dangerous nuclear waste to stop a NATO conference and basically kill off an entire city.

That's true, Russians only intentionally poison individuals and not entire cities.
I think you're trying to argue GP's point, but you've only confirmed it, because you're misrepresenting both the facts and the traditional advice.

"Treat every gun as if it were loaded" is the traditional advice, and is a wonderful attitude to have about firearms. But if it's not loaded, it's not loaded, those are the facts.

Perhaps the same with opiods: treat them as if they are highly addictive, in a rapid manner. But if (for you) they aren't, they aren't.
The exploitation will never become absolute. Yes, blurred lines are very dangerous, and yes an opportunity is being missed here, but the scale of the danger is being overestimated. The next data crisis will be entirely unexpected but obvious in retrospect. (like every single google account being breached).
When replacing a disk with a hotspare in a regular RAID-Z vdev, the process is limited to the sequential write speed of that single new disk.

The point with DRAID is that the spare capacity is distributed across all the disks in the vdev, hence the name. Thus all disks are read from and written to when "replacing" a failed disk with the spare capacity.

The combined throughput of the multiple disks is typically much higher than that of the single disk.

In addition they have an additional constraint which allows DRAID to also support sequential resilver.

At least that's my understanding.

There's been several presentations of DRAID on the OpenZFS channel, but the latest one is here[1]. There's also a writeup here[2], though not sure if it's 100% up to date, though should be close enough for getting the concept.

Does facebook pay journalists, or is it just an aggregator? I read this as:

"Company X with core competency Y stops executing non competency Z in market A"

I guess what Facebook's core competency is may be somewhat fluid. I hope for the average Australian's sake this is an improvement. I say this with the assumption that news consumption is likely healthier when sourced from organizations practising journalism, and that missing news from an aggregator would (optimistically) increase views from proper journalists' publications.

This isn't Citibanks UI design. This is about Oracle's core banking software Flexcube. It's way deeper than UI. The loan entity didn't support the update they needed to make so they tried delete and re-create - which involved paying off the first loan - but the counterparty didn't agree with the "re-create" bit. Take the "U" part of CRUD seriously people.
Creditor doesn't necessarily mean bank lender. If you're Revlon, and I supply you raw materials (like beeswax used in lipstick) with standard 30 days payment terms, I am also considered as your creditor because you owe me money. There is no interest expected, rather this is typical of doing business and how firms expect their suppliers to give them payment terms of 30 days, 60 days, or in many cases I've seen, 6 to 9 months. And yes, in Revlon's creditors' case, or in the case of any business who supplies goods on credit, the pandemic absolutely made you panic over whether you could depend on receiving all the money that is owed to you.

In any case, I doubt this ruling will stand, they are a huge bank and this is a decent chunk of change. They've got their ways to making sure the appeal goes in their favour.
It's probably not even necessary. They're also introducing a card that removes everything not needed for mining. Unless they're overpricing that card, it will be more cost-effective for miners and outcompete the gamer cards.
There are many different kinds of averages. Median average, arithmetic mean average, geometric mean average, mode average.

>Japan was instantly honest about Fukushima

They acknowledge it now but when it hit there were non-stop blog posts going viral about how it's impossible for Fukushima to suffer a meltdown due to the design. The Japanese government was restricting information so tightly that there was no refutation of this misinformation.

Josef Oehmen's "Why I am not worried about Japan’s nuclear reactors" went viral for example: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20266-how-josef-oehme...

It was all very reminiscent of the Soviet "It's impossible for Chernobyl to meltdown".

So no Japan was not instantly honest. They were not informing people of the real situation even after they knew.
Good question. I don't know the details, but early on in Assad's war against Syrians, the situation was easier than it is now. In 2012/2013, a lot of cash was taken to neighboring countries.
Eh, I'm not going to download a whole app for reading one article a month. There really needs to be something where I can just hit a bunch of checkboxes for the news sites I want to subscribe to, and then that app could charge me accordingly. Hell if Google integrated it with their Google News app, it could be super seamless.
Is there any hope in feeding the surveilance noise -- a lot of it? e.g., create bots with my credentials that visit random web sites, have a phone that reports bogus GPS coordinates, numerous dummy accounts, that sort of thing...

Or if enough folks gang up and feed the system an avalanche of random (or misdirected) information that we can drown our signature in a sea of noise?
The problem is it's not completely closed. It's open, but they control the only gate into the system. That's a monopolistic practice, very akin to owning all the railroads. Actually it's probably worse than that, because the railroads were only about the transport of goods and people. Most people do more on their phones than anything else. People literally have sex on their phones now, and control their important peripherals (sometimes medical devices) with them.

I'd be a lot more amenable to allowing Apple to make as much money as they want on controlling the only gate into my phone if their only incentives were monetary, but the moment they started making political decisions (banning all vaporizer apps, removing the Hong Kong flag emoji, banning Parler, etc) I was no longer on their side. You can agree or disagree with their decisions on each individual case, but as a liberal I'm not comfortable with a private organization having that much power over public policy. On some level I want to give Apple a way out. My best hope for the company is that they'd prefer not to be making political decisions, but have to bow to external political pressure. I'd like us to help them out and take the decision out of their hands.

As to being able to leave Apple. The amount of work it would take for me, a professional Software Engineer, to decouple all of my contacts, data, personal photos, text history, etc from their ecosystem effectively locks me in. They created a marketplace, and when you create a market in a free market society we'll take you up on it and enforce anti-trust laws. The idea that they don't have monopolistic power is demonstrably false. In fact, I think Apple's monopoly is the most clear cut in the tech community.
It's worth noting that generally in aviation when a UX is blamed, the UX is very, very far from perfect.

The article had this but that stood out to me:

“It isn’t possible for everyone to live on principle; as a practical matter, many of us must make compromises in asymmetrical relationships, without the control or consent for which we might wish.”

Even if you could just “go off on your own into space”, you will likely need to transact with other humans in order to survive. Put differently, I think while it is an “option” in principle, it isn’t in reality.

It sounds to me like you have used one particular kind of mechanical keyboard. What you describe sounds a lot like either a buckling spring like the Model M or a clicky tactile switch like the Cherry MX Blue.

One of the cool things about mechanical switches is they can be built in such a way to have different characteristics. Much like how a car's suspension can be tuned to be soft or hard and with high ground clearance or low down you can build switches to be loud of quiet, clicky or soft, long or short travel.

As for why they are appealing, many people like tactile interfaces with positive feedback. In a world where everything is a touch sensitive slab of glass its nice to interface with something mechanical and responsive instead of a lifeless slate. Its the dexterous equivalent to ASMR. Its why people like manual transmissions, bolt action rifles, physical switches and knobs.
What seems weird is that accounting software typically adds these transactions immediately with a future date, so in this case whenever the batch was executed. You don't need to wait to see the impact, just for it to take effect. This UI has to work extra hard to obscure this visibility.

Indeed. The "experiment" in Portugal is not proving it works everywhere, but shows it can work, which indicates we should study it further and possibly deploy it in more countries across the world, to see if it works elsewhere and if we could possibly make it even more effective.

While Portugal is probably the most famous example of decriminalizing working in humans favor, it's not the only example, it has been employed in other states too. Netherlands has de-facto decriminalized all drugs (in practice, not in law), Czech Republic has decriminalized all (most?) drugs as well.
Isn’t that holding the nuclear industry to an impossible standard, though? Nuclear plants did become much safer, they just didn’t become perfectly safe. But neither did the oil&gas, aviation or automobile industries. Should we also deem the authority of engineers in those industries to be undermined, because planes and automobiles still crash?
That will also hurt games. It's a huge differentiator between integrated GPUs and dedicated.

"... how weak the beer is"

Funny, I've never heard someone take a jab at the strength of American beer. I'm curious what is the ABV of a normal beer you're used to in the UK? The 'commercial grade' American domestics tend to be about 5% maybe 4.5%. In the last decade though, 'craft'/ micro breweries have exploded so it's very easy to find stronger at any bar. In almost any convenience/ grocery store, there are plenty of 7%-9% IPAs and the like. I'll admit I like strong beer :) A lot of bars around my area will have some exotic options of 10% or more. I had one recently that was 13%! That's as much as a glass of wine. That being said, the large majority of folks are drinking beer that's 4-5%.

As far as alcohol addicts go, I learned from a friend who had to take some court ordered 'rehab' classes, that (at least in the USA) something like 90% of all alcohol is consumed by only 10% of the drinking population. That means the dirty little secret they don't want you to know is basically the entire alcohol industry is propped up by addicts.

Edit: I just clicked the WaPo story you guys were talking about, and that lines up with what I heard previously. Most people drink very moderately, but the top 10% are the cash cows for the industry.

That's the whole discussion around money itself, isn't it. As soon as you do something other than exchange an apple for a goat (and even then, really), you're potentially creating money in one person's eye and not in the others. While I understand your point about the money not existing, if you're making it happen in the system you're putting something of yourself in the system to convert to money. In governments' case it is their "reputation" and ability to operate in the world, as shown with the Greece situation in the recent past.

Ultimately it just wasn't in bills but it was indeed paid in the government's loss of abilities (as well as the price to the population) and made money in other places where it was due. And that exactly what governments do when they deal with currency: any adjustment isn't creating energy out of nothingness, it's just that the layers of our system make it pretty hard to figure just where the debt is paid and it ultimately ends up being paid by those least able to see it coming & to avoid it. Not to hammer the point again, but those people tend to be again on the end of the spectrum that has "poorer" written on it.
The dollar being strong or not doesn't change the fact that a transaction in any currency is several orders of magnitude more energy-efficient than with bitcoin.

One of the founders children was hired on to a low ranking managers team as an entry level Software Engineer. They were hired specifically by the low ranking manager and without the typical interview process. That low ranking manager, inside of a calendar year, became the director of an entirely new division in the engineering org. That division eventually went defunct, having never shipped a single product to production or having accomplished anything else of note.

The other was a founders child being promoted from SE I or SE II into a middle management role. That also did not end well.
