This was like in 2005. I didn’t really know what I was doing because it wasn’t adding JS to the page. And when updating the NS records it wasn’t rendering properly. So yes I clicked on the ad. It linked me to the site. And I deemed it working. I also even added my (static) ip to the list for ignored clicks.

“The late Chairman Lee’s collection of antiques, Western paintings and works by Korean artists — approximately 23,000 pieces in total — will be donated to national organizations,” they said, in recognition of his passion for art collection and “his belief in the importance of passing on our cultural heritage to new generations.”

I wonder what the pieces will be valued at.

Perhaps I should have added some qualifiers - it shares "at a high, superficial level" a philosophy with the Amazon Silk Browser in trying to cloud accelerate the browsing experience.

Agreed. Giving up my financials to a site is unacceptable. I rather use Excel sheet with fancy graphs myself.
> It’s still an incomplete picture. Ortis stood at the top of his field, not struggling on the middle rungs. Why risk it all? In his book The Anatomy of a Spy: A History of Espionage and Betrayal, Michael Smith describes four main motivators for going rogue: lust, money, ideology, and revenge. Ortis fits awkwardly into those categories.

This is journalistic negligence. They are obviously referring to MICE or MALICE which are mnemonics for analyzing motives in counterintelligence that stand for "Money, Ideology, Compromise, and Ego" and "Money, Anger, Lust, Ideology, Compromise, and Ego" respectively.

The simplest explanation is "Ego" in this case, which is probably why the article went out of its way to point his self confidence bordering on arrogance, yet replaced it with "revenge" to leave an air of mystery. He likely just enjoyed playing James Bond with all the opsec and secrecy that goes into that. The reasons for betrayal like that are often the most banal.
This is why you hire someone to appraise the value of the item and document the third-party appraisal. If someone else says your painting was worth $20m on the day you donated it, and they're wrong in the view of the IRS, well, it's an honest mistake on your part and at worst you just have to pay some money for getting caught.

> the malware samples appear to have been compiled seven years ago, in 2014

So it was possible then to analyze the metadata of the files and determine when the malware was made/compiled? That seems like bad OPSEC. If I was CIA I would be rigorous in modifying and faking when certain files were last modified or created, and possibly stripping other damaging metadata (if it's incriminating enough). This is basic metadata hygiene employed by journalists, whistleblowers etc
‘Sailor Moon Eternal’ Part 1 and 2 will be released on Netflix by June 2021
Netflix recently acquired the international streaming rights for the latest movie that is ‘Sailor Moon Eternal franchise. ‘Sailor Moon Eternal’ is one of the famous and biggest anime ever acquired by the Netflix streaming platform. We are pretty sure that fans must be very happy to hear that both the parts for ‘Sailor Moon Eternal’ are going to be there on Netflix in June 2021.

I believe it was his book where he describes the moon hanging there as they were closing in on it. This massive, plaster-of-paris sphere almost filling his view.

His description (ignore mine above) made me realize just how remarkable that must have been to see. The Earth diminishing to a ball is one thing, but this atmosphere-less, white desert, Little-Prince-like, moon bearing down on you sounds like something else entirely.

In terms of asset changes, I don’t think this is true, hard to value assets generally have poor returns and definitionally have poor liquidity (which is why they are hard to value!). I’d rather have stock market returns and pay 3% of assets then have something exotic that I can’t sell.

Everybody I know that grew up in Europe and has traveled to or lived in the US found the difference in quantity "shocking".

Collins' role in Apollo 11 is often minimized in the public conciseness, but I find it particularly fascinating from a human perspective. In certain ways it seems even scarier than Armstrong's and Aldrin's jobs. They at least had more direct control over their success in landing on the moon. Collins was largely powerless to help if something went wrong. If that did happen, he would have been faced with the choice of abandoning his crewmates to die on the moon and fly back to Earth himself. Meanwhile no one had ever been as far from other life as he was on that flight. When he was on the far side of the moon he was truly alone in a way that no other person had ever been in human history.
I had this exact comparison pop up into my mind yesterday when I read this, yet another, news of Google flexing on someone.

Actions of both tech companies and content publishers make it clear as day that they have zero respect for people. Well, since consumers keep returning to them, they evidently don't have much respect for themselves either.
Hi everyone,

I'm a Co-Founder at Vantage which recently acquired EC2Instances.info. We've been digging into the data around how folks are using the site and speaking with users to collect feedback. One thing that continues to pop up is that people want a simple and intuitive API for getting access to this data.

We've decided to launch a simple set of APIs (totally for free) to enable this for folks that couples together pricing and product data along the lines of what you see on EC2Instances.info. We're intentionally starting as simple as possible to get feedback on what features, functionality and data people would like to see. Our hope is to offer these APIs to save you the time and effort of stitching together a multitude of complicated AWS pricing and product APIs.

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
It's not even capitalism to begin with. It's corporate socialism. Where you have companies actively using the government to secure their own payday. If a company has millions and utter millions to throw at not having to compete..

That being said, I agree that natural monopolies should be considered an issue for the state.
I agree with your statement here, but it should be noted that it's important to have smart minimum wages adjusted for regional cost of living. In the US, the minimum wage hikes can often result in local reductions in employment in the short-term.

In the long-term, minimum wage hikes tend to not at all reduce employment, even when implemented in clumsy fashion like the US tends to do.

It's a shame that conversations on these things are so politicized, because it immediately prevents nuanced discussions because ideologues pounce and label you an opponent if you try to discuss realistic details.
As an ex-consultant I would never hire a consultancy to do technical work or want to work there again now I’ve seen behind the curtain.

The main issue is resourcing is pretty much ALWAYS awful as their goals (maximum resource billing) don’t align with yours…people go on about it, but the term body shop is pretty apt.

I was in a leadership position and its pretty standard operating procedure for you to ask for a senior Java developer and be told you’re getting a junior Python test engineer just because it’s whoever is sitting around twiddling their thumbs (…and that’s from an internal perspective, if you’re the client you’ll just get lied to about their skills)

This basically leads to teams being comprised mostly of people who have absolutely no clue what they are doing - Is no wonder that a lot of the projects either fail, go over budget or have severe performance/security issues…and as a bonus you’ll get charged per day for a person as much as a permanent FAANG employee costs.

Worst offender I saw in my time doing it was Sapient, they seem to just bring anyone off the street, pure incompetence.
What router models do you recommend for OpenWRT?
I've always thought the CSM commanders had the most incredible and challenging role of the three Apollo astronauts. They were undoubtedly the "most alone" humans ever — at least on a physical level. Every other hour they'd transit to the far side of the moon and would be 2200 miles (3600km) away from the nearest two humans and hundreds of thousands of miles/km away from everyone else who's ever lived. Not only that, they lost radio contact. The silence and solitude must have been wild.

For upwards of three days.

From the NYT obit:

“I am alone now, truly alone, and absolutely isolated from any known life,” [Collins] wrote in recreating his thoughts for his 1974 memoir, “Carrying the Fire.”

“If a count were taken, the score would be three billion plus two over on the other side of the moon, and one plus God only knows what on this side,” he added. “I like the feeling. Outside my window I can see stars — and that is all. Where I know the moon to be, there is simply a black void.”

How anyone thinks corporate lobbying is good for anyone other than corrupt politicians and corporate giants is a mystery I will never understand.
I had the opportunity to be one of those. The money was clearly good. And you quickly built a network that you could turn into your own business (which was actually expected. They expected you to ultimately not get promoted fast enough, start your own business, and if you were successful enough they would hire you back several levels higher).

But it was also a very, I dare say off, not quite sick, culture. You are travelling 90% of the time. This has a tendency to destroy family and friend relationships at home, and make it hard to befriend anyone not living similarly, because you are never in the same city for more than a few weeks. You are never in one place long enough to develop a deep connection.

You are alone in a new city after work, ever week, and your colleagues are all the type of people who chose that lifestyle too. The ones who chose that lifestyle for money are usually just doing it to put kids through college or after college, and will take a new job in a few years, so the people you really want to network with are the lifers. The lifers are people who chose that lifestyle because that's the type of lifestyle they actually want. There are a lot of interesting reasons to do that, some very good, some very bad, but none of them very normal.

Then you have to look at the moral aspect of what you're doing. As I remember upper management putting it to me: "We're pirates. We steal from large corporations, and put it in our own pockets." And you do that, by providing services that garner their profit by pocketing the difference in capital that comes from shipping jobs from America to offshore locations, made possible by abusing the h1b program. And sometimes literally abusing the h1bs, its not like they have any rights in practice, once they're within the country.

I dunno. I walked away. I think about the money sometimes, but I'm much happier with my more mundane, salaried life.
> Or replace with preprocessor directives that you could setup to random values for production builds to use strings and timestamps that indicate some other entity?

They do, except they're not random. Check out the CIA Vault 7 leaks from a few years ago. They purposefully leave trails that point to other countries including using foreign languages for variable names/comments.

> “[D]esigned to allow for flexible and easy-to-use obfuscation” as “string obfuscation algorithms (especially those that are unique) are often used to link malware to a specific developer or development shop.”

> The source code shows that Marble has test examples not just in English but also in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi. This would permit a forensic attribution double game, for example by pretending that the spoken language of the malware creator was not American English, but Chinese, but then showing attempts to conceal the use of Chinese, drawing forensic investigators even more strongly to the wrong conclusion, — but there are other possibilities, such as hiding fake error messages.

They have come up with a workaround for this. Instead of actively monitoring your clipboard in the background, there now exists a "Send Clipboard" button/intent that shares the current clipboard value with the other device(s). Works well enough for me on Android 11.
I live in Dresden. We do 70nm chips, whilst Taiwan and China are doing 7nm already. We can only do special chips nobody else wants to do. AMD already left, there's only Global Foundries and Infineon, plus some smaller local ASIC and FPGA makers. Dresden is big in embedded, kernels and automotive. But chip making is helpless.

Kernels, on the other hand, is something we have a huge advantage over everybody else. Amazon with its FreeRTOS and L4 based companies are here. Xen is from here. And tons of embedded. With chinese chips and sensors and german kernels.
Not really: if you copied them to a pair of USB keys, those could be handled like other physical evidence.

The point of the Merkle tree in this case is just to make tampering much more difficult/ easier to suspect; independent entities could hash he result and compare for evidence of tampering.

This isn’t a case of absolute perfection, this is bringing things up to the current standard (aka “state of he art”) WRT courts and police procedure.

Sure, one could design all sorts of additional mechanisms (error correcting codes in the trees etc) but realistically, it’s tamper detection that matters, and it only needs to be as good as paper, candlesticks, fingerprints (sigh) or whatever else is already customary in the evidence room.
For the auto industry, they decided to treat chip suppliers like they do everyone else. Chip suppliers don't depend on auto, so they responded tic for tac.
Based on the docs kernel mode drivers would call KeWaitForMultipleObjects instead it appears. User space should just call WaitForMultipleObjects. While NtWaitForMultipleObjects and ZwWaitForMultipleObjects exist they seem to be undocumented which means they probably have funky behavior. Anything in KernelBase.dll is a pretty thin wrapper that I'd be hesitant to call Win32 so much as "really thin syscall wrapper"

800 threads on similar WaitForMultipleObject is already a horrific design if you even remotely care about performance.
The only viable case for 800 threads (and wine) would be blocking IO which is an extremely boring one.

I think there may have been turbines with those two problems but that does not mean that all turbines are like that. Merely that there were some issues to sort out back in the day when you read about someone allegedly having these issues.

Basically, noise would indicate either some problem with loose parts, a lot of friction, turbulence or something else that is clearly being inefficient. Obviously to compete with state of the art horizontal turbines, you'd use highly durable materials with awesomely low friction and generally be shooting for very high levels of efficiency.

Some other things I've seen suggests that small vertical turbines are suitable for deployment in urban environments where they work with low/variable wind speeds at completely acceptable noise levels. You could put these on your roof even. I left a link elsewhere in this thread if you are interested.

Basically the article is about a group of scientists that ran the numbers and came up with different conclusions than you. 15% more efficient is quite a lot.

No doubt any replacement would have to be enough better that it's worth the cost (opportunity and otherwise) to both produce and switch to it. Perhaps security/privacy issues might drive a serious rehatching of commonly used software.

It occurred to me that there's enough inertia at this point that you'll likely only see ground-up architecture and/or implementation when some sort of hardware substrate is produced that requires it. Until then, we are on the karmic wheel of cpus that drive os/language design that drive cpu design.
People still don't understand the fundamentally different rules that Russian or Chinese companies operate under. They cannot refuse government requests, for anything.

Accenture is just the one where the “white face” runs the show so they can charge higher bill rates. Companies HQed in India (TCS, Wipro, etc) just hire white people to talk to senior leaders (which is so common I have literally been called the “white face” multiple times as a Caucasian person delivering consulting services to enterprise IT orgs despite working for a company that only staffs on-shore).
I'm not sure if underground blasting is a good idea when there are skyscrapers nearly a century old aboveground. Hard enough to assume recent building haven't had someone in the loop cutting corners (e.g. concrete that isn't as robust as expected), the old stuff had zero checks during constructions and definitely no computer aided simulations.

Honestly it's a miracle that skyscraper collapses are so rare.
> I don't find the film simulations that Fujifilm puts in the X models to be any good

I feel like you might be in the minority, I continually hear overwhelmingly positive remarks regarding Fuji's film sim. I'm not aware of anything comparable at that price point, and I have yet to see any non-pro film sim come close to the stock Fuji sims.
Yes, because all those plants have big AC motors driving the machinery. Any place where there is a big AC motor can benefit from this. That means most of the applications you can think of.
> give it a few more years and I think it'll be a much more attractive for things outside of iOS.

I would like for this to be the case, but I'm not so confident. Even a few years ago, you had corporate investment in the form of Kitura and S4TF. Now you have a few small open source projects.

The language itself is ready, but the tooling is just not there. I think the main obstacle is the lack of investment in cross-platform support by the core team. Until I can `apt-get install swift` I don't have much confidence it can gain adoption outside of the Apple ecosystem.
Occurrence of failures directly correlates to occurrence of growth and innovation. SpaceX is (a) innovating very fast, and therefore we see lots of failures, (b) embracing those failures as opportunities to grow, and (c) installing many sensors and collecting a lot of data to maximize the chance that they can learn a lot from whatever failures occur.

Make no mistake, if a company or institution isn't trying a lot and failing a lot to achieve a new type of goal, it's also not making much progress toward any new type of goal.
FWIW, I know that Vestas has a department with a super computer dedicated to helping their customers choose optimal positions. And I also know of some recently commissioned large wind farms where the company behind explicitly mentioned wake optimizations. All the big turbine manufacturers are in an optimization race.

Just to note: Sanders 2020 "Internet for All" plan would have given municipalities the blueprints to a) fight Comcast and entrenched providers and b) funding to do so, thereby enabling more freedom. Unfortunately he did not prevail in the primary.
