That would be bizarre too. You can name Al-Qaeda and ISIS, but not ransomware groups?
I dismiss it because of FOMO. This irrational part of me wishes I got in on the action early, like my cousin who bought ETH at $10. So I look for any reason / article to dismiss it.

I assume similar mechanics work for those who have a decent stake in it.
If the landing maneuver put the engines and fuel tanks in zero-g, that might be relevant.
This was no mystery. I'm pretty sure I saw a giant photo of a Coke bottle on Unsplash not that long ago. It has plenty of corporate users, and not in some secret shill sense, in a "This post from Docusign" kind of way.
You'll be surprised how far misinformation goes. Even among the non-stupid (smart?) people. Some form of Internet literacy needs to be done. We'll be fighting some of it very soon with deepfakes made by AI, and we are still not prepared for that.
It's a really different REPL paradigm.

No, your own phone number.

Say you're at home, you have a landline, and you don't know what your own phone number is. How do you get it? You call someone with caller ID, and ask them to tell you what number you called from.
Not to mention a lot of people benefited, like all the slaves or people on the margins paying taxes for little benefit.
By trying to sweep it under the rug they just opened themselves up.

Crazy.
Wow, this is huge. I wonder if the attacker was a state actor, and if so, what their intended mischief is.
Good. People watch sports to escape from everything else.

“Shut up and dribble” is the way to go.
Yeah well, more money in marketing than anything else.
I wonder if social media had the potential to be a force of good or if it was doomed from the start. I'd like to run an AB experiment where social media companies didn't optimize for engagement. And maybe an AB experiment where they tried to optimize for healthy usage, even if it harmed engagement.
> ”Ubiquiti had negligent logging (no access logging on databases) so it was unable to prove or disprove what they accessed”

Perversely, this is exactly the logging that you want to have in place in case of a breach.

You can then (factually) make the statement that ”we have no evidence any customer data was accessed.”
> we still have to extract an entire archive just to look at the list of files

GNU tar has -t and --list, while NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD all have -t. None of them extract the archive to list the contents as far as I am aware.

> But I mean, normal people also don't really understand or believe in Bitcoin?

I don't think that's really the case anymore. I've heard a lot of positive sentiment from "normal" people about BTC lately, probably because its been all over the mainstream media due to it seeing such strong gains.

People may not understand Bitcoin, but most everyone understands "asset that is seeing massive gains, making people rich, being adopted by companies around the world, and seems like it may continue to grow".
I don't think you read the article. This has nothing to do with sextortion email spam.
What is? Clojure? Can you explain?
You enjoy that also? I thought I was the only one...
In many jurisdictions or some online discussion boards, one can name by name the already famous, but not the unknown, behind which is certainly a measure of thought.
> Adam says the attacker(s) had access to privileged credentials that were previously stored in the LastPass account of a Ubiquiti IT employee, and gained root administrator access to all Ubiquiti AWS accounts, including all S3 data buckets, all application logs, all databases, all user database credentials, and secrets required to forge single sign-on (SSO) cookies.

A root user user breach, seemingly on the organization main account. Ouch.

I wonder if MFA was set up, with the TOTP creds also kept in LastPass.
Shit, I had plans to refresh the network infrastructure in my parent's place with a full ubiquiti setup to replace the years of added on junk.

Complements Mirror
My latest project caters to my #shameless #vanity. Since I don’t get as many complements as I’d like (a lot). I decided to make something that would give me complements every time I look at myself. And since I wouldn’t want it to complement my friends (actually want it to negatively respond to some) I was forced to add #facerecognition.

I live in a pretty dry area. I can think of only one area with pretty dense foliage within a couple hours of home and that's in a seasonal stream.

In the winter I've often been in areas with half a mile line of sight to any place you could actually get to and plenty of canyons where anyone coming around the bend is going to see you, period.

Summer provides a bit more cover at lower elevations, but as you go higher there are trees but you can see under them and in many cases getting off the trail is difficult.

If you hike long enough trails to need to relieve yourself you know there's a small chance you'll be seen, and likewise, you know there's a small chance you'll run into someone relieving themselves--if you can't stand either scenario, don't go.

The gold standard would be an auditable ballot trail from voter to final tally.

Any gaps in that leads to suspicion of error and fraud. That leads to bad things, as recent events amply illustrated.

Yes, it can be done while still having a secret ballot.
I agree about the legal dodgery here. The way healthcare is available via employers means that contractors and part-time workers are hurt unreasonably. The solution to that is letting people keep their plan when quitting a job, reupping a plan that expired, and mandating set rates where health-insurance costs the same regardless if you're a company or an individual. This stuff is broken.

But contractor vs employee is a useful distinction for everyone and trying to fix all the other issues by neutering what contractor means goes the wrong way.

Contractors, INO or otherwise, have freedom to pick their shift and their employer on almost a daily basis, if not more frequently. Drivers have Uber and Lyft apps open, etc. Amazon drivers can give Bezos the finger and drive for a courier firm with no notice and no black-mark on their employment history.

> in every meaningful manner these drivers are employees - they aren't independent courier services that happen to work part-time for Amazon, they're drivers that only run Amazon deliveries but are forced to operate as an independent company for Amazon's benefit

There's no force involved. Even economic. The drivers drive for them despite having the same job options that non-drivers do, and they choose this.
$250 is a lot of money for many people, even if they make over $62,000.
This was awesome. Thanks for posting it. Lots of things I've seen many times but never looked up (ACKs, NATs, CNAMEs). I see myself using it as a future reference for sure.
Extracting Bitcoin is already difficult.

But if the kompromat is child porn-level illegal than you could be right.
I think Tesla has missed a bet in not trying harder to get other EV manufacturers onto their charging network. The Tesla charge connector is vastly superior to the CCS or ChaDeMo in size, weight and convenience, but at this point it's likely to be displaced by an enforced standard in a few years (as it already has been in Europe).
Should they self-host TV stations, newspapers, and radio stations? Why should internet media be any different?
Serious question: Is there a way to use a Python REPL with multiple long-running asyncio tasks, some of which need a turn to run every X seconds?
Same, my setup is 100% Unifi from back before they started going downhill. At least I was self-hosting the software so I wasn't bitten by this breach.
Can also attest to this. One of the companies I advise looked into them recently before realizing the “open source” is marketing folly. Quite disappointed in YC not doing their due diligence with them.
At this point, game theory is mostly useful for predicting what people who try to act rationally will do.

But the trouble is, that as these things become more of the fabric of the culture, people's behaviour takes them into account, and then it doesn't work as well as it used to.
> How much meaningful influence do you have on American policy?

Very little, that's why we refer to the actions of the American government rather than the actions American people.

I've heard of such rules in regards to names of persons, but never in regards to names of groups such as these.
Yuppies? Is this 1982? I wonder what the Reagan Democrats or the Moral Majority think. Or the preps or the goths, why not just go straight to high school cliques. I heard the varsity kids were sticking their nose up at cryptocurrency but the A-kids and the theater kids were totally into it, maybe they're on to something. Don't listen to the conformists, sheeple!
It's not just trucks - I was able to get my (pre-cheating-scandal) 2003 VW TDI to belch a cloud of smoke if I idled for a while (over five minutes) then worked it hard (e.g. a freeway onramp). I remember getting honked at by a Prius once...

IMO, these occasional particulate emissions were outweighed by the excellent fuel economy - rated at 46 MPG but regularly 43 MPG.

Of course, this technology has been largely obsoleted by electric drivetrains. No rolling coal from a Tesla!
Sorry to be pedantic, but I think you mean “emoji”.

Fake news. Debris was not dumped over the town. SpaceX wants to make Brownsville nicer because they are hiring thousands of employees who will live there.

Web pixels are different than device pixels, and are resolution independent.
A country can print as much currency as it wants. In that sense it cannot run out of money. What it can't do is print as much currency as it wants, and still have people want that currency, or have them accept it at the previous value. In that sense a country certainly can run out of money.

Take a step further back. As Thomas Sowell says, economics is the study of the allocation of scarce goods that have competing uses. In a free economy, money is how we organize that. But even if we had infinite money, that wouldn't give us more of anything else. It would just mean that everything cost infinite dollars to buy.

The problem that the Soviet Union had was that their economy couldn't produce enough to supply their military competition with the US. "Ran out of money" is one way of describing that, but the literal number of rubles in circulation is not at all the issue.
I almost did the same thing, but it was clear a year ago that they were moving towards "cloud based" services, something I didn't want to participate in. Looks like it was a good decision, in retrospect.
I understand, but Python >3.8 can do this:

>>> x = 1+1
>>> print(f"{x = }")
x = 2

And if it is included why pulling in a dependency? And even if it is a dev dependency: it can be a dev dependency that bites you in two years in the middle of a night when your service fails.
The breaches are common, the reporting/discovery of them is not. Security just isn’t a priority for a lot of Orgs, as the consequences are minimal (see: Equifax) due to a lack of regulatory or financial penalty pain when a breach occurs.

“Help yourself to a free year of identify theft insurance” and all that jazz.
> but compared to Starlink is seems less insane in terms of cash burn

Starlink has an insane cash burn during deploy, indeed, but after that it's a cash cow. People are paying through their noses for shoddy satellite internet, and Starlink is orders of magnitude better quality and way lower priced...
Amazon is reportedly working on custom networking chips
The moon lander had many complex things, including at the last minute. Remember in space they had to connect up, and separate. Their computer got overloaded when approaching the landing site, and the astronauts had to decide what if anything to do about it. Then they were going to land in a boulder field and the pilot had to take over and go to another place - they had to decide what to do at the last moment. And they almost ran out of fuel before landing (or had little margin left). Each of these things could have lead to loss of the mission.
Not at the intern level, but when I was, I just wanted the biggest possible project that could be completed in 6 months. Like lots of new tech, new features, innovative stuff etc.

Since this is my 'dream internship', I would also want to travel lots. Like checkout all the offices across the US so I can pick where to live after I'm brought on full time.

Also lots of public recognition.
Agreed. I simply would not expect this to work properly if you don't specify a font. Just compare Times New Roman and Verdana, two fonts that are broadly available, and broadly different in terms of character widths. Verdana will probably bust out of that container.

Maybe if we had container queries, and could set font size as a…container unit? I don't even know what to call it. Like vw and vh units, but relative to a parent container.
I think they mean that you have to read in the whole archive (incl. decompression) to see all the files; that there's no option for an index that can be immediately seeked.

I cringed hard.

- Fantasy data and graphs are being evaulated

- MBA and elite uni status is taken as a proxy for how smart someone is

- IQ is taken as a measurement for smartness

- Being a Bitcoin maximalism is framed as its a distinguished taste someone has to work towards to arrive at.

If I have two monitors with two resolutions and I put the two screens together the text is a different size. When I'm reading the text I want it to be consistent as I move it across screens. With this approach will the text be the same size?

The main issue I have as I get older is that as the resolution increases the text size seems to get smaller
> This article suspiciously seems like saber rattling to me. Like it was placed in the Economist to send a message to someone.

Who? Why?

> would mean nukes flying and most human life on the planet being wiped out in short or

We had 50 years of Cold War and MAD and plenty of large, gruesome wars and no one got nuked. France was involved with some of them, too, e.g. Vietnam.

The lesson of the Korean War is that even with nukes, intense conventional war is still possible, even likely.

> The only scenario where France would be engaged in a high-intensity war with Russia or Turkey is if World War III started

Not at all. If the French -- already reluctant members of NATO, with a history of trying to NOT be a member -- were to walk out of the alliance, why would that conflict lead to WW3? An multi-polar world with an independent Europe means that they can fight their own wars against Russia and Turkey -- they have in the past!
But if you spend that "own" currency on building military equipment that doesn't work instead of farming to feed your citizens, that "own" money doesn't spend very far when buying from outside sources.
> Is there any malware in the application

Well you could always check for a digital signature in the binary. I haven't downloaded the Windows version, so am unsure if there is one present. This doesn't mean it's not malware though as digital signatures can be spoofed, but it's a good heuristic to take into account if installing random binaries from the Internet.
There was just a thread[1] yesterday about them starting to serve ads in their UI. It seems this company is rapidly losing credibility.

I have had plans kicking around for a bit over a year to do a full build out using their products, and just within that time it seems like they've gone from a glowing reputation to severely tarnished. Unfortunate, as it seems like they once had great products.

If you think this article has something to say about Pitts' views, I do not think you read the article carefully.
I think that's a bad example.

A car lets me do a lot of things, not just a single thing.

I think development tools are overpriced. Under a $100 I can see. Over that is just too much.
Nearly every compile-to-JS language is a better choice than JS unless you really, truly need something legacy. The exception might be Coffeescript, but even that's not bad, it just add a whole lot. Even then I'm certain you can find a modern language that can target, say, ES3. I've never needed that, so I won't claim to know any off the top of my head. But it doesn't matter, because you could simply pass the output through Babel as a last resort.

Yeah, yeah another build step, but I consider almost anything as preferable to use Javascript or Typescript.

These days all my would-be Javascript projects are done with CLJS, Elm, or maybe PureScript if I want to do something fancy with types (or don't want to deal with particular Elm quirks).

Aka plausibile deniability
One can even say that open source organizations started 30 years before RMS started FSF in wake of losing a copyright trial. SHARE is, after all, from 1955, 16 years before a certain first year Harvard physics student took a job at MIT AI Lab and was told to work on text editor, because that's what they are paying him for.

He does mention meaningful work, that's done by the clueless. But to the author it's a sidenote that he doesn't bother explaining. It's this bit where he briefly touched on it:

Breaking laws is one sure way to increase legal liability.
This is basically my take too - dealers suck and will make this an uphill battle even if VW is being honest about their EV intentions.

GM has improved now, but when I looked at Volts it was similar (dealers knowing nothing, actively hostile to me trying to buy a car from them).

I have a Model 3 now and think its features are really not available in the competition at any price point, but especially sub 40k.
Compared to the U.S., anti-Asian sentiment is actually worse in Canada and Australia right now by some objective measures, according to a talk I attended yesterday by Dr. Russell Jeung (Asian-American Studies). He didn't mention the U.K.

That said, it makes sense that someone from a city-state that was formerly part of the british commonwealth would want to move (back) to the commonwealth.

One example: the higher education systems within the commonwealth are more interlinked and university degrees more widely recognised across borders. I'm sure there are many more benefits as well.
What people store is entirely irrelevant to the scam. It doesn't matter if you've never seen a porn flick, never visited an adult site.

The template is to get a credentials dump, email the user's email, offer the password from the dump as proof (most people re-use the same password).

I know what you've been watching (no they don't), I recorded you on cam (doesn't matter if you have a camera or not).

It doesn't have to be bullet-proof. It only has to work once to pay off.
I would certainly disagree that being able to online shop using Paypal is the whole point of cryptocurrency. Having the ability to easily and securely exchange with others is the whole point, but doing it conveniently on a daily basis over existing payment rails is not the whole point or even that important.

If a government decides to censor fiat networks to prevent certain transactions, the fact that paypal accepts bitcoin for those transactions is irrelevant. The company you're buying from as well as Paypall will still need to follow KYC laws and will be obligated not to transact with you.

In that scenario you're already fully living outside the law, you'll have to transact as anonymously as possible, exchanging crypto in secret in person or over the dark web or what have you. It doesn't matter whether major above board institutions like Paypal or Stripe accept bitcoin or not.
Interesting summary. I also like your renders.

If you acknowledge the negative effects of potential growth, do you also see the upsides of it?

Exponential growth in smart people working on solutions for example. 1 year ago no one assumed that we would have 4 working vaccines already deployed to millions of people.
I feel like every week there's a new study that implies causation where none is proven and has no link to a root cause.

"Possession of car linked to car crashes"
The simple interpretation is that lawyers know that the law offers no consumer protections in these scenarios, and tried to use that to protect the corporation. Morals aside, and assuming their assessment about such legal boundaries was correct, they were simply doing their jobs.

The system may be broken, but a patch is necessary, and that is only going to arise via legislation. Sadly, the system of governance is also broken, so I expect this will be closed with status "WONTFIX".
Only if you don't think about it.

I pay more for Apple products because they bring a lot of value.

I don’t know. Do all your porn videos feature enthusiastic consent? Do any of your porn videos have racial stereotypes? Are all your porn videos showing safe sex practices? Are all your porn videos showing a diverse group of actors, or are they just mainly from a single ethnic group? Do all your porn videos celebrate people with different body types at the same time not fetishizing them?

Looking at current trends, I suspect that all those questions will be asked about any porn stash that is revealed a d people with problematic porn stashes will be called out.
