Buddy, most things don't get hacked. It's true they don't get hacked mostly by virtue of nobody caring but assuming the market is efficient then the opportunity cost of these bad things happening must be very low.

In this case a disaster recovery plan existed and was used. They did their job by preparing unknown unknowns, get off your high horse.

> Building code exists to prevent houses from falling over. Healthcare credentials exist to prevent damage to human life.

I never took exception to this, the issue is that e.g. building codes in many areas have become highly specific and overdone to the point of preventing investment in housing.

What slapped me in the face with this was a YTer who was going into the family business of building code inspection. You need an engineering degree yet exercise no critical thinking over what is actually happening, and the father seemed to relish in how much he was costing people when telling them to fix basically cosmetic issues.

There's issues in healthcare, like doctors being overtrained and artificially scarce.
But a store isn't a casino, it's a store. AFAIK, a company can't prohibit anyone from inspecting their product on store shelves before buying. I would certainly expect to be able to weigh, say, a pack of batteries, and use their weigh as a part of my buying decision.

Why would they make that a law? Please say there are medical/research exemptions at least?
You’re right, that’s a good point.

> you can get called upon to donate

Dude, calm down.

Donating bone marrow is probably ok, but note that before donating a kidney, understand that can affect your health and life expectancy. That was not told to past donors, but it's a thing. (As you get older, your organ function decreases from 100% (or 200%) to less than 100%, so losing a kidney affects older people.

In China, people in banned religions are "volunteered" for double-lung and heart transplants, so it also matters what country you're in. Their transplant science is based on 28 year-olds, so if you're several years younger or older, you should be good unless you have a rare typing.
Character assassinations without providing links or other material are a net negative and are not going to convince most people you’re right.
Ideally, non profit organizations around tissue sourcing provide a mechanism to ingest raw genotyping data [1] from providers through an auth flow for those who have previously been sequenced or don’t want to burden the charity (if a donor can afford it) with the sequencing cost.

If one could “one click” share their genotyping from from a sequencing provider, I imagine you’d see an uptick in coverage for donor sourcing across the populace. The data is already out there.

How I made $14M from Trading At Home: Step-by-Step
Is it possible to run the laptop directly off AC power, bypassing the battery?

Alternatively, is it possible to cap the battery charging at, say, 60-80%?

Since one of the key aspects of the laptop is the longevity and serviceability of the hardware, I am curious how the battery health can be managed.
The brain maps out ideas and memories like spaces
If you think it is that simple, then you do not quite understand superdeterminism and the hard problem of consciousness.

Also, your examples are not entirely accurate. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that zapping a part of the brain cannot consistently override the will, and the correlation to, for example, the motion of a limb to the activity of the brain does not stay consistent, but disappears after multiple attempts when the subject under experimentation resists. That doesn't prove that the will is independent from the brain, but so far, no one has found where the will expresses itself in the brain. Right now it is just taken on faith that it does so somehow.

And then there is perception. We can find general correlations for areas of the brain that respond to shape, color, smell, and kinesthetic sense, but nowhere where the various senses are assimilated and correlated into a cohesive perception.

We can alter mood, and induce hallucinations, but again, have no model as to how either translates to perception and self-awareness.

Before we can determine whether the will is free, we first need to define what the will and perception and self-awareness even is, and how it arises. And we don't have a clue where to start.
I wasn’t aware of this policy. Is it totally apolitical or does the WH need to initiate the sanctions process? Consider the optics of sanctioning the domestic company providing your own country’s critical infrastructure, right after you spend a week discovering just how critical it really is.

Bitcoin sits on top of those very same institutions as well. The only thing stopping criminal gangs from stealing the keys to your wallet forcibly at gunpoint is the justice system. And the blockchain could not exist without the massive government subsidized investments in network infrastructure.

Isn't this just the same thing idiots did for Trump though? Look at whatever Trump does, and then find a reason in retrospect why actually that was a smart move.

SpaceX wins contracts because they are able to send payloads into space, nothing to do with marketing, and sending payloads into space isn't even that hard - they basically beat out Nasa who weren't allowed to compete and Boeing who can't send a plane to 30,000ft without fucking it up.

Tesla sells lots of cars because they're electric and Apple made battery technology cheap.

BTC has been running up and down far longer than Musk has been involved and it'll continue after he's gone.
If we gave up on every useful technology or product due to it's potential for harm or misuse, we'd still be pointy sticks at wild animals.
In essence detecting which one is fake is a common way how you train the generator, tweaking the generating process to "fix" any detectable flaw; and you train it until (as far as your system is concerned) the generated texts are indistinguishable from the real ones. A better system might distinguish them, but that better system can be relatively trivially adapted to generate better texts which it won't be able to distinguish from real ones.
Scuttlebutt and GUN.eco seem to be what you're describing.
He may not be all-knowing, but my retired, former customer service employee grandmother knows Bitcoin is produced with dirty energy in China. It's not exactly secret knowledge.

So, it's obviously a pump and dump.
Wait til you hear about the satellites.

A global hot war between super powers would be disastrous for everyone involved. That’s why it probably won’t happen. I’d be more worried about rogue actors, terrorists and other “mad men” who might get their hands on a dirty bomb or fry the power grid in New York in January.
I’m just bitching at this point. I know. But nothing will change until it hits our bottom line.

Thanks, seriously, for sharing. Just hope you don't get, uh, "found out" by the wrong L6 or L7.

You also have none of the other tested applications; I presume most of them have Word.
When I say "memory safety" I mean "language-enforced memory safety". You're saying that having the language enforce memory safety isn't worthwhile.

> even Rust programs don't give you sound guarantees for memory safety as many of them depend on unsafe code that isn't soundly proven

There's no such thing as 100% memory safety; at the extreme end there are bit flips caused by cosmic rays. But the evidence suggests that practical language-enforced memory safety is actually worthwhile, despite the fact that no theoretical absolute memory safety is possible. All memory-safe languages have runtimes and FFIs, which in Rust is the unsafe blocks. This doesn't change the fact that, empirically, memory safety, even the imperfect memory safety we have to live with in the real world, is a meaningful improvement in stability and security.

> That the cheapest way to write such programs is to have sound guarantees for everything is an interesting hypothesis, which would get you a language like, say, Idris, but it is not the consensus.

Straw man. Nobody is talking about proving all code correct. What is reasonably describable as consensus nowadays is that having the language enforce memory safety is worthwhile. The idea that enforced memory safety has, in your words, "more downsides than upsides", is increasingly at odds with the consensus.

To get concrete, I see no reason to believe that quarantine (Zig's current solution to UAF) is a meaningful solution to use-after-free problems, given that quarantine has been deployed for a long time in production allocators in other languages and has failed to eliminate this bug class in the wild.

Per the Boston Globe story [0] they were actually in the process of restoring from backups but it was going too slow. Something to remember: when downtime is so critical that key pieces of a country's infrastructure is at stake, backups can't be enough-- there also has to be a rapid recovery plan to actually use them.

>Corporate surveillance is bad, sure. But, even when maximally bad, it doesn’t pose that grave a threat to a society’s correct functioning.

Except it does. Especially in this case, since the government purchased the data collected via corporate surveillance. Or did you miss that part?

If the data hadn't been collected via corporate surveillance,the DoD would have nothing to buy, would they?

We can vote out of government those who would allow violations of our privacy (whether or not we do so is a different, but equally important discussion). We cannot do so with corporations.

Given the circumstance in this case (the DoD purchasing this data from private corporations rather than collecting it independently), including corporate surveillance in the discussion is critically important.

When one's paycheck depends on a not understanding certain things, it's often difficult to get that person to understand those things. Some food for thought, friend.
Eidetic memory comes in grades. It usually seems to make use of or abuse spatial memory to remember facts in great detail that you then synthesize into semantic information. See "memory palace."

Eidetic memory used to be considered a negative mutation in that the bearer was not "properly using" their semantic memory, i.e. just remembering the fact without having to synthesize it from a raw sense memory.
I am not sure why I am engaging since it is clear everyone already made up their minds.

Are we reading the same passage? He is saying, and I am paraphrasing here, when the zombie apocalypse comes DrCongo will be passed like currency, because he will have no skills to survive. The green eyed girl will survive on her own.

There are numerous credible designs for space ships able to reach a few percentage points of the speed of light.

I think the big difference is that worker time can’t be saved in the same way that capital can be. While capital will lose value over time to inflation, it still holds most of its value if it is not spent (and there are very safe investments that can be used to hold even more of its value across time) An investor can choose to hold their capital for a better investment at a later time.

For a worker, however, every minute of labor is use it or lose it... it isn’t like a worker can look at the available jobs and say “nah, I think I’ll just save up my time for now and wait for a better opportunity to spend my labor hours”. You can’t wait a few months and then trade all those months of labor for more money later.
exactly. Don't be clever and try to do things like re-invent bcrypt or hmac or do things through obscurity. Use the libs. I've written many auth systems, it is not rocket surgery. It is one of those things where you need to do some reading and understand what is going on, but I'd argue you should do that for just about everything you are working on.
Great points overall. One thing I'd add if you're looking to get promoted in an individual contributor role:

Ask your manager what it would take to get a promotion. It's different at different companies.

Furthermore, asking lets your manager know that you're trying to push yourself to the next level. If you're already operating at the next level, it'll help the manager notice sooner. If you've still got some ways to go, your manager may be able to help you find opportunities for growth.

The worst cases would be where your manager can't help promote you (no matter how much you deserve it) or your manager actively thwarts your advancement. In the former case, asking early can help ease feelings when you get your promotion at another job. In the latter case, your manager has probably been thwarting you all along. But now you know. Don't waste your time trying to impress someone who will never acknowledge your efforts.

If you want to advance, talk to your manager. They can help. If they can't/won't, find an environment that's more supportive of your growth.
The US Intelligence Agencies have been using this trick for a long time. They ask the Brits for intel on US persons and they trade for intel on Brits.

The only difference is they go through a commercial entity now. If it is legal to trade with the Brits, it is legal to go through a private entity. Data is big business.

According to Wikipedia the system has significant buffer capacity:

> Fifteen associated tank farms... provide a 45-day supply for local communities.

Such buffer capacity makes sense considering how long deliveries actually take:

> It generally takes from 14 to 24 days for a batch to get from Houston, Texas to the New York harbor, with 18.5 days the average time.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_Pipeline

Also consider where the shortages are occurring: in sprawling, rural and exurban areas where the last-mile infrastructure is likely exceptionally thin; that is, much less able to handle surges. It's not just computer and car manufacturers that optimize for "on-demand inventory"--i.e. cut carry costs to the bone, sacrificing volatility resilience.
A New UI to Improve Observability UX
Funny that is your suggestion, I started (serious) programming by ordering a $200 laptop from Amazon and installing Linux on it. THIS is the exact advice I give to people. It gives me chills how you captured my path to software so succinctly.
having thought a bit about this the other day, it seems to me that there's a real moral hazard in cancelling all the debt for everyone (much like tax holidays for corporate cash repatration).

i'd rather start with a more modest forgiveness of interest, fees, and penalties for everyone, leaving the original loan amount, as agreed to by the student. then institute a (smoothly) graduated forgiveness of principal, based on yearly income and modulated by household wealth (i.e., means-tested), so that debtors making less than median income with modest or no household wealth would get large portions of their principal forgiven, but folks making more than twice median income or having significant household wealth would get much less to none forgiven.
Well from the article, the decryption tool was so slow they kept using backups along with it. Sounds like future hackers need to improve their decryption tools, or companies where speed matters (like utilities) won't bother paying.
It's their country and their rules. If local broadcast has to play by them, so should internet TV. It's also good so they preserve whatever distinctness they have from "global" culture and retain and promote their own.
My answer would definitely be: I don't know, but why bother. We know bcrypt by itself works. We don't know whether it works combined with another hash, and it's extra code we need to maintain.
I use GPT-2/3 in creative writing to generate rough text that I then go back and edit/improve because it gives a good starting point (and often has a lot of high-quality factors).

I don't know if this translates to technical writing, but it's possible someone might complete a prompt on some specific topic(s) and then use that as a point to start from, especially if they're knowledgeable enough on the topic to correct the output. It's nice to be able to skip a lot of boilerplate words (how many words in this comment are actually the meat of this idea, and how many words are just there to tie all those morsels together?)
What stack did you use? On the backend, certain frameworks like Rails/Django can reduce this issue, but certainly for Rails you'll always need a dev around and hopefully the same one who built it. That's very hard to keep.

There's still a lot of chaos on the front end and the favored stack changes every few years. The devs three years from now might not be as familiar with the stack you used. It's honestly a nightmare at the small business level for front end.

As a dev, what's happening now with Zapier, Bubble, Tray.io, etc mirrors what we saw with static sites and Wix, squarespace ten years ago. They are not really at parity for SAAS apps but soon will be and then in a few years they'll be even better. Around 2000 you could easily spend 100,000 on a static website of a quality you can get for free now.

The thing with Bubble etc is that to remain competitive you will likely want to add functionality and anything advanced, anything that really moves the company beyond competitors, will require writing code (or buying an expensive service) and that's ok to add later when you've validated the idea. The downside of this is that's it's so easy to make a SAAS app that your profits are much lower. Apps that could have generated 100k/month are now doing 10k/month and a lot of devs have moved onto different problems like blockchain/defi/etc. We've already had great no code in wordpress for a long time and now it's just moving onto serious SAAS apps.

The new paradigm is definitely going to be Bubble/Zapier/etc plus the code that makes your app profitable added as necessary when necessary.

That is an ideal. Reality is a mixed bag.
That's not the answer but it's close. The correct answer is that "geniuses" can be dumb. Intelligence doesn't make one invulnerable to bad ideas, cons, indoctrination, herd behavior, logical fallacies, addictions, delusions, or anything else.

Related is the fact that billionaires and millionaires are just humans with lots of money. People seem to think a lot of money makes people somehow superhuman, or vice versa. It doesn't. Billionaires are subject to all the same fallacies and errors as anyone else. There is no superhuman enlightened "illuminati" that is somehow above and beyond the rest of us, at least cognitively. They might have a little bit more information but they are no more rational than we are.

A lot of people are talking about auth/jwt.

I'm wondering for those who build it:

- how did you implement impersonation

- how did you implement tenants ( and switching in between). Most have a follow-up dialog after logging in, which you can select.

- did you implement something in your gateway that checks the token, instead of every service separately ( too lighten the load to the STS)

The hypothetical technology to reduce Earth's temperature by 4-degrees Celsius is simply going to be fundamentally different from the hypothetical technology to increase Mars's temperature by 80-degrees Celsius.

Assume Tesla stock fell to 100. Well I bought mt stock at 189 pre-split, so the share I bought at 189 are still worth 500. It is the day traders who get hurt, but the people in it for the long haul are still doing fine.

I always get a laugh for the people trying to scare people that Tesla stock will fall while not realizing a lot of the early purchaser will still make a profit even it the stock tanks big.
