This makes me so sad. This shouldn’t be doing something special for your employees that you get to boast about: it should be a basic human right. Talk about setting the bar low...
The difference between finance and gambling is largely class. The things we call finance and gambling today both trace back to gambling/insurance in Venice a few centuries ago. They've diverged over time to reflect society and now Vegas is low brow and Wall Street is peopled with suits. If finance has been reduced to gambling, it just means that class boundaries are being broken down. In the cases listed, broken down by technology.
As I read this, it seems like this is saying that if you are saying that you are posting public pricing information, you should not be hiding that information from search engines.

Seems like it's trying to avoid people (I guess it's targeted toward insurers, if I'm reading the main page correctly) saying that they are transparent about prices but hiding the information so no one sees it.

Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Yeah it was sold as re-investing but had they not done it, maybe a competitor that did it would have won instead. As for not being popular on Wall St... he got outside money so he couldn't be that unpopular.
If we look strictly at present mechanisms (ignoring the fact that the definition of the dollar could be changed as it has several times in the past), the dollar is much closer to a Ponzi scheme than Bitcoin is.
A strange take to say that was too harsh, when, the whole point was that it could be clearer? That's rather mild and constructive.

This isn't what a user story is. This sounds like a persona, which is a thing in product management. But it is not the same thing as a user story at all.

A user story is something like "Customers want to see the items most recently added to the shop". Or, in Connextra form:

There is/was lots of speculative armchairing as well, when HSLAs started coming into the picture. Structural adhesives also get pointed to as a reason not to do big repairs like this. In practice it isn't really borne out.

HSLA (high strength low alloy) steels are stronger (and therefore lighter) than mild steels. Many alloy steels (non-HSLA) are sensitive to heat treatment and improper welds make them weaker, so tons of people were being very vocal about HSLAs ruining cars, making repairs impossible, etc etc. Things like saying you'd need proprietary filler to match the composition, that welds would be poison, etc.
In reality it doesn't really make a difference.

Adhesives are also sometimes/often used to secure panels together instead of welds. The theory was that subtle differences in shape would introduce tensile stressed that would cause adhesives to pop in a crash. Not real. Alternatively stress during modifications could introduce cracks and weaken the adhesive- also bullshit, those adhesives go through stress every time they drive. They're fine.

They aren't invalid concerns, but unless you're putting a torch to the adhesive or welding seams down the middle of alloy beams, you aren't doing anything that will cause problems.

So the supreme court will become a parliament. In a sense it is the logical consequence of it shifting to making laws rather than enforcing the compliance to the constitution.

>I know for example that here in the UK, the low figures were the result of price increases in things people were actually buying like food, computers, cars, holiday stays when we weren't locked down, etc being counterbalanced by lower increases or even decreases in things they weren't buying as much anymore like clothes.

Source? Maybe uk is different but that claim isn't consistent with the CPI figures coming from the BLS. In your list of things food makes up the biggest part, and it's only up 3.5% YOY. Computers is actually down 3.2%. New cars/trucks is only up 1.5%. Used cars/trucks is up 9.4%, but that only makes up 2.71% of the basket.

Depends on the project; for the cruise ship it's a newly built section built specifically for that ship and the submarines they were both the same design so as long as you cut in the same place on both ships they should fit together plus or minus 2x the tolerances it was originally built with.

So, on "rotate your credentials", some of the things you'll need to do:

- Does your CI job query any system using a service account? Time to rotate that service account password. Hope it wasn't used by anything other than your CI system!

- Accessing systems using tokens instead of service accounts? Time to figure out how to invalidate those old tokens and gen a new one. (Also, time to find out if all the systems you use can do that)

- Using credentials as part of your build system, like downloading a for-pay plugin for a tool using a license key? Time to rotate those too.

- Time to rotate any license keys used at build-time.

- I hope you weren't using IAM users! If you weren't using instance profiles / task profiles, time to rotate those secret access keys. (some things you have to use IAM users for, like SES, iirc)

- Time to invalidate everything you built since they were first compromised, invalidate all your caches, and re-build all your artifacts from scratch.

- Time to see if you had any customer information / PII / PHI /etc accessible from your CI system.

- If you deploy from your CI system, it could be that every system is potentially compromised. In which case, get ready to re-deploy everything after you have flushed and re-built everything from above step.

- Start auditing, get PR to start drafting a sad letter to customers, and get someone to investigate how to reset customer passwords etc if needed.
Then you need to keep the update server alive for a long time.

It’s slang. English dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. It is valid and common for English words to take on multiple meanings regardless of their origin, and for slang to be recognized use. Given that everyone here understands what was being said, I find it hard to say the usage was improper English.

You're right, that's a moot point: it all boils down to unnecessarily, unreasonably transferring wealth from later adopters to earlier supporters (left holding the bag) in what amounts to very unsophisticated "investing" - whereby buying a stock of a company or say gold is buying for something very specific, contextualized, with annual reports and laws in place to attempt to lead to integrity within those organizations; not an apple to apple comparison that people consistently try to make.

> the first legislation in recent years designed to add seats to the high court

The article bizarrely does not qualify "recent", but that's an understatement, to say the least. The court has been at 9 justices since 1869, and the most recent unsuccessful attempt to change it was in 1937. If successful, this would be the first change in size in 152 years.

I think that consoles (at least in first few hardware revision of given generation) are in somewhat special category. The hardware strongly looks like the engineering was primarily optimized optimized for time to market (see for example the amount of EMC shielding in both Xbox One and Series, which strongly suggest that the design target was to minimize the time spent on EMC (pre)conformance testing while ignoring the price of the thing).
Agreed. Which is why I prefer garbage collected languages. Rustaceans, however, harbor an irrational fear of garbage collection pauses, hence "memory safety-first ideology" built on garbage collection is heresy. The one true path to memory safety nirvana is through the holy borrows checker. :)

Fortunately, "as safe as SSRI" is a pretty low bar.

Should we also compare the risk of addiction/dependence? Oh, yes, lets do!

Hey, while we are at it, shall we also compare effectiveness? 2 doses vs 6 weeks? Oh, wait, that's what the study did.

I wonder how many different types of psilocybin they had to test to find the effect one for these particular patients. Because, you know, getting the "right" SSRI based coctail is actual quite hard, many people go through three or four different variants before finding the one which they think works.

Yes, I'll bet they had to compare at least as many types of psylocybin before they found the combo that worked. Right?

In a more niche area, some test equipment has this problem too, where the calibration data is stored in battery-backed RAM. To avoid having to do an expensive and difficult recalibration, changing the battery before it dies is done by either putting a new one in parallel temporarily, or with the unit powered on.
On the other hand, to be fair, a device driver itself (even though it is represented as a "special file") does not need to have the notion of a file system built into it.

This is really unfortunate. Using a curl to fetch executable code from a static URL is dangerous for a lot of reasons, but doing it on every CI run is... asking for trouble.

That said, I’m sure tons of folks will say the same thing. But any dynamically fetched code/modules/packages will suffer the same risk. While we have to be vigilant with those risks, there’s a more important step we can take and that’s to stop using static credentials for things like CI.

Instead, we need to be building and using tools that can generate time-bounded temporary credentials. For example, today it’s common to put your AWS IAM user key and secret directly into Github’s secret storage where it feeds directly into environment variables that can leak through this sort of attack. Instead, GitHub should provide a way to delegate access to fetch temporary credentials that are only valid for a few minutes from AWS STS. Amazon has multiple ways to make this happen, but GitHub needs to support it and GitHub’s users would need to use it.

And sure, AWS is just one of many secrets you probably have to work with, but GitHub and GitLab are in a position to make this sort of dynamic secret infra really commonplace and severely cut back on the damage these sorts of exploits can do, so I hope they are making that effort.
I think we can all agree the current Supreme Court system is broken. It is completely based on 1) during what term a judge happens to die in. 2) wether the party controlling the senate will grant the president his constitutional right to appoint a judge. (So even if a judge dies before the term is over, they can just say nah let’s wait for the next guy)

Adding more judges would help a little because the random affect of a judge dying is smaller, though it’s still not a good long term fix.
The same could be said of the US Dollar (or anything really). All value is speculative until proven and changes in those speculations can't be stopped. What's worse in the Dollar's case vis a vis crypto is that the divorce between "real" value and "created" value is determined by a tiny group of institutional bankers and their government liaisons. Reality, much less work ethic, won't change their minds. If you think that crypto is akin to a religious sect, then the Fed is a financial Vatican slowly collapsing in its importance while denying it all the same. Rid yourself of the fallacy that holding on to value is hoarding lest you believe that what one does with one's wealth should be determined by others.
I was a history major in the 1990's, at a rather modest public college (in the U.S.), and we were fully disabused of this myth. In fact, even in my survey course this myth was addressed.

If this myth is still going on, it's because everything is so oversimplified in high school (arguably, with good reason), and few people ever go beyond that. Historians have long since moved past Burkhardt.

Coinbase, IIRC, is on track to do more than a $1B in profits for the year ending 2022 with a user base of 50M which is likely to grow even more as crypto breaks into larger markets since the interest in it has only been growing. Of course, the usual caveats apply, but the crypto economy is getting too big too fast for it to disappear overnight.
Agreed, I'm not here to insert my opinion about the therapeutic qualities of psilocybin, but I find vague anecdotal quips like this very frustrating. If there's validity to these treatments, let's let the science prove out. There's no point in trying to discourage folks from having an open mind about something that may turn out to help a lot of people.
The 1 mg dose wasn't daily, it was 3 weeks apart. From the study:

Patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive two separate doses of 25 mg of psilocybin 3 weeks apart plus 6 weeks of daily placebo (psilocybin group) or two separate doses of 1 mg of psilocybin 3 weeks apart plus 6 weeks of daily oral escitalopram (escitalopram group); all the patients received psychological support.

That isn't a lie, I think you are just misunderstanding what you are looking at.

When Coinbase (or whoever) shows a bitcoin price of 62000, what they are saying is that in their order book they have customers waiting to buy and sell bitcoins at that price right now. It is not just a made up number, it is actually the place where the demand between buyers and sellers is being met right now.

If you think that price is too high, then sell some for cheaper and you will take some of the high-price buyers off the market, therefore lowering the actual fair price of bitcoin.

> this is not an organised Ponzi scheme, but it is functionality identical anyway.

Functionally, a Ponzi scheme requires that investors are being deceived about the origins of their returns. What you are describing just isn't anything like a Ponzi scheme at all and it is a misunderstanding of what they are.

Public key signatures would be even better. Then you only need to install / audit / trust the public key once, versus updating the checksum for every new release. Of course, this assumes that signing isn't compromised too, if that's the case then you're pretty much out of luck since a malicious release would be superficially indistinguishible from a real release.
