Identity Theft
Hello,

I'm feeling worried because I think I let my full name, phone number and email address get into the wrong hands. How much damage can someone do with a personal email, phone number and full name?

I just got chills all of a sudden. Like I fucked up.

Ex-Accenture here. Software devs (at the grunt level at least) would almost never work for another client at the same time as your main client. I only ever met one person who worked for two clients simultaneously, and IIRC they were management/admin level. As far as I know, they didn't file double-time as described in your comment.

Internally, the hour billing tracker (disgusting old thing) would limit you to 8h per day total anyway, so you couldn't just bill 8h to Project 1 and another 8h to Project 2, because it would scream at you that you're trying to file for unapproved overtime (which would cost ACN money). It's anyone's guess how this data would be presented externally to the client, but I like to think that they wouldn't bill for 8 hours externally when the internal record shows only 4 hours was worked.
I can't connect anything in the article to bullying.
> I feel as though I am more open-minded than many others. I am always ready to be corrected if I am wrong, and I am always willing to discuss my views with people subscribing to other political ideologies. However, I fear the repercussions of offending others who do not have an open mind.

This is how every open and critically minded person feels nowadays.

There is a clear line between two groups:

1. People who think the best way to learn, educate and explore other people's views is by having an open discussion, saying uncomfortable things and having an ear to be corrected and showing mutual respect.

2. People who think that saying something uncomfortable during a discussion is an act of offence itself and therefore must be muted even if it takes some form of aggression by one or many people in order to mute that person. A discourse is only allowed if people immediately subscribe to a specific ideological idea and people are not allowed to get to that point through saying or asking the wrong things but must somehow be born with those views or otherwise need to be extinguished by the mob.

Unfortunately the 2. group is getting increasingly more violent and aggressive in their approach which makes the 1. group increasingly more aware that they are in fact in danger to just be themselves and learn about life through sometimes tough discourse or mistakes.
> 12 floors is huge.

I live 40 stories up, surrounded by a lot of green spaces because the city doesn't need to mow down natural habitats for population growth. 6 floors seems quaint and archaic, all it's going to cause is endless depressing urban sprawl.

> There will never be enough supply in some place

We can always build higher, construction techniques are only getting better. I don't see why 60 floor buildings can't be a norm in most supply constrained cities.

That sounds a lot like you restricting the viewpoint diversity of your social circle.
In the UK we have limited freedom of expression (under S10 of the Human Rights Act 1998), which is much more narrowly defined, and even then subject to many restrictions and limitations (libel, court privilege, hate speech, and more). It doesn't really qualify as "freedom of speech" in the sense that really matters for this discussion.

The base memory usage will be determined by the kernel modules loaded and the size in memory of those modules. The modules loaded will be based on the enumeration of your hardware. As kernels evolve, the hardware detected evolves and the memory allocated to support the hardware evolves too. Older kernels may have had simpler modules for your specific hardware or in some cases may not have initialized all the hardware. You can compare the output of lsmod on each kernel to compare and contrast memory usage. Other facets of memory allocation evolve over time as well, including buffer memory for things like network stack, socket management, firewall state table and related helper modules, reserved memory for paging, memory mapping of swap and more than I could list on HN. The same kernel you are using right now will have vastly different memory usage on physical bare metal vs. VM's and will vary by what devices are enumerated. Some of the older kernels (1.x) didn't even have dynamically loaded module support and may have only supported a limited set of your hardware.

The file size of the kernel will get bigger over time as more drivers are added for newer hardware. Only the drivers required for your hardware get loaded and thus the memory usage is independent of the kernels file size. If you custom build your kernel, you can strip out all of the drivers not required for your hardware if you had a need to do so. A legit need would be IoT devices that have limited persistent storage. Another use case would be if you were bored and wanted a learning exercise on building kernels or wanted to harden your kernel against specific threats or to add support for hardware without requiring a dynamically loaded module.

If you would like to get back towards a lower usage, some things you could potentially tinker with would be blacklisting drivers you do not need loaded and adjusting sysctl settings, pam limits, systemd unit file limits (does not apply to your 2.4 kernel) for more conservative memory limits based on your needs. Adjusting these things too low can cause problems or performance issues. Use care when blacklisting modules, as some modules depend on other modules and it is not always obvious why. The output of lsmod will show you some examples of the dependencies.

WP also did things well the other way - being able to separate work and personal life - in a way that is not possible in iOS or Android, even in Microsoft's own apps.

You could use Outlook for both work and home, create a different icons for each, and merge multiple personal or work accounts together. You could pause notifications based on calendars, or on certain days, or quickly pause them for several days.

On the other hand, Teams on Android just won't shut up, and the longest you can make notifications snooze for is 2 hours. You have to block them entirely to get peace.
Have you looked at social media? Most people live by appearances and fake a lot of emotions.

Not saying this is the case with your neighbor, but if they’re just a neighbor, not a close friend, they might simply not feel okay talking about it with you.
The idea is that people are engaging with no interest in making society better. An example might be a person who advocates for policies that are almost certainly harmful to the communities he purports to care about because his rhetoric draws favor (i.e., social capital) from others of his well-to-do segment of the political spectrum. The chief idea is that someone is plainly not interested in addressing the problem they purport to care about, but that they want the benefits of virtue signaling or else the “politics as tribal sport” element or a fondness for malice and divisiveness.

To be really clear, I’m not making a veiled political statement—I can think of a dozen ways this could fit a bad faith person on either side of the spectrum.

> What is needed to fix email is to have structured messages [...] something that won't happen

You're right in a way that this "won't happen", because Google Wave already tried it, but I think what's really needed is a killer client that supports unstructured email and gets into a position whereby they can add structure (and get adoption thereof).

Take for example Fastmail's JMAP. They started by supporting IMAP, and they'll continue to support it for a long time. But, despite Fastmail not being the biggest provider in the world, we're still seeing adoption of JMAP by others.

I could see the same happening with a really well-made open client. It would have to be "modern" (a GUI that handles & sends HTML mail well), and it would have to have good UX to deal with the awful idiosyncrasies of closed providers (e.g. Gmail's broken IMAP, Google Accounts' non-standard auth measures, etc.). Once those work well, one could create a new Content-Type for structured metadata and start sending it as part of multipart mails: most clients would ignore it at first and render plaintext.

This might be less efficient (bandwidth-wise) than traditional email at first, but could improve on that with adoption.
Depends on your viewpoint. The current mess with software rentals and cloud-based everything is (among other reasons) a consequence of this.

However, maybe people will see the light and go with free software instead (as in freedom, not beer, etc).
$oldjob had that too, and it worked really well for most people - tech and business alike. I like IRC because it makes you focus on what really matters instead of some sort of seamless Giphy or Wikipedia "rich"-content integration. It's sufficiently async to not bother me at all times, and I can interact with it programmatically very, very easily.

Also, due to its rigidly ephemeral nature (ultimately depending on your personal preference of course, but the default for most clients these days - and opposed to something like Teams, which seems to store everything forever), it nudges its users to use a more suitable, more permanent medium to capture information that is to be persisted. It's clearly a different kind of animal than a wiki or an email archive/mailing list, whereas new "alternatives to email"-tools like Slack, Teams and their ilk are anything and everything in-between, which causes "now where the hell did I read that thing about that other thing..."-syndrome for me.

I use Plant UML in combination with planter [1] to auto-generate a DB schema visualization during CI runs.

When their actions/interests are less noble than what their words imply. For instance, using statistics and evidence to make a judgment seem objective, but knowingly leaving out other evidence that contradicts their position, especially when political association can be used to attack anyone who does bring up that evidence. Or asking that people “simply be aware” of their own prejudices, but in practice they are only interested in deconstructing the prejudices of one particular group, and would react furiously if another group was targeted. Pretending that everything is just a level playing field of debate, when they know that it isn’t, and they like it that way.
Exactly. People say they want freedom of speech, but really they want the ability to say whatever they want while also having the ability to punish others for saying things they don't like.

Similarly, people say that some countries have freedom of speech, when in reality every country has ways of punishing people for making certain noises out of their mouths - they just differ in which noises and to what degree.

The effect of this dishonesty is there is a hidden social contract on what you are, or are not, allowed to say, and everyone has to negotiate that. The article is about how people are becoming more self-censorious as a consequence of this social contract tightening up.
I am suing Epic because I am unable to sell cosmetic items in the Fortnite store. Epic has a monopoly on it, and doesn’t allow third parties to sell within their store. This needs to change.
I know, thanks, they're great. Recently I've seen quite a few. Only several days ago I watched for the first time in many decades the program about A.J.P. Taylor and his controversial 1961 book The Origins of The Second World War (which, incidentally I have a copy of).

You're right, we really need to spread the word at every opportunity.
I've skimmed the full report, and OP's assessment feels somewhat fair.

It feels like the ACCC is telling Google and Apple "lower false positives and also lower false negatives".

They do have actionable proposals, eg "coordinated app ‘sweeps’ by consumer protection authorities", and establishing and independent app moderation authority, but overall the message kind of boils down to "do better simultaneously on every single front, even when they contradict each other".

Seems like a very practical approach to the problem. If this legal framework is enforced, then here's what will probably happen:

- Big name software vendors will accelerate replacing one-time purchases with subscriptions

- Many small name software vendors will allow users to resell their software, and raise prices to compensate

- Special pricing e.g. for students will go away

- Code that checks for valid license keys will still be used to ensure that people aren't making new copies of the software and selling them

- The Appstore model will eventually have to change so that people can resell the apps they purchased

I'm skeptical the final report will be qualitatively different.
Are you sure that the ones who were particularly silenced are now particularly angry?

I would say that a lot of unscrupulous individuals just used the momentum to give free rein to their toxicity or bad ideas. A lot of the young activists even do not personally remember the old bad times, so they are getting angry on behalf of historical events.

(The same development was typical for 19th and 20th century nationalisms - "they" caused a historical wrong to "us" in 1740, "we" must have a revenge. Thus all the building of Greater X countries. It turned to be a very bad principle with a huge body count.)

The swing of the pendulum is possible. For example, the immigration and Islam debate in Europe swung a lot towards far right positions since the 2015 migration wave. Few parties openly advocate for a permissive border regime anymore; even those that are "suspect" of harboring such sentiments try to bury them under other topics, such as the German Greens.
Elevator not working or nonexistent (because in NYC it costs $80m (!!!) to install one that works ~80% of the time) is exactly what the US needs to get better at wrt mass transit. You just made a great case that NYC for example needs to! You’re also making wild assumptions about the relationship between the impact of change and NYC transit managers’ incentive to realize it.

I've been listening to techno (not EDM in general, Techno) since the 90s. It's definitely my favorite music for deep work; something about the tight repetitive loops is just perfect for concentration. Since the pandemic started I've been listening to techno mixes almost constantly in order to mask the noise from everyone else in my house. Initially, I found it difficult to find decent mixes since Techno has become a generic term for EDM. I just returned to following the genre so I really didn't know where to look. However once I found a single Soundcloud account curating mixes of the style I like, it opened up an unlimited supply of music through following recommendations. Maybe someone will find this useful:

Study first for the Security+ exam. That is the entry level security certification. It is much harder now than it used to be. You can find a lot of books and study material about it online.

The gold standard is still CISSP for the corporate world. It is more of a managerial standard. The best study guide is the official course book: https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Information-Security-Profes...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certified_Information_System...

The standard most prized by government and security researchers is GIAC from Sans.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Information_Assurance...

To take the CISSP you have to apply for the exam because there are prerequisite criteria and the exam costs $700. Even still it only has around a 60% pass rate. The GIAC tests are supposed to be much harder and are extremely expensive. I passed the CISSP but have never taken any of the GIAC tests.
