I do not have to help a third party possibly incriminate myself in all legislations signal is used.

I might also be charged with protecting information by constitution, law or international statute (e.g. as a health or legal professional), something that border officials often like to ignore, actually possibly even incriminating themselves in third countries and the us

I am also not responsible if a tool a third party provides is defect by choice and this defect causes damage - especially if the defect is already known and we'll documented through responsible disclosure (thx signal).

If I then warn them (in a general way) and they plug in anyway...

might be an interesting case, but should be well prepared, best with the help of a third countries lawyer's association as a test case ;)
When was the last time Apple made anything with good thermal design?

The M1 is designed for this. Wide cores that do a lot per clock, but can't be clocked high is perfect, because Apple would rather not clock high. Intel and AMD are still fighting the MHz wars, and can't release a core design that doesn't approach 5 GHz, even if the lower power chips won't.

The best task tracking system I've worked with is one that I created in about 30 minutes of thinking through the business domain and then wiring up a blank Airtable base to represent what I needed to know. With kanban, gantt, and table views, it's all I need. Plus, the API is easy to use so I can pull the data down when needed. All of the other systems seem to be 80% solutions and I end up getting really irritated by the 20% they don't cover.

This is so wrong, I can find you a 100 million euro of miss allocated funds, mostly in grands to technology project under the umbrella of the Horizon project.

These projects are not directly validated by members of the administration instead they pay consultants to do these work.

Politicians, bureaucrats and management consulting, it is at least 3 layers of plausible deniability.

Funny how many project I know that have an EU flag on the bottom of their website followed with, "this project was funded in part under grand proposal X", and right after that, "this project does not in any way share or from represent the opinion of the EU commission".
Yes, this is a major problem when you introduce ACLs into unix-like systems. A comment in the article mentions the "Richacl" work. A key problem with this work was that even "chmod 777" might not get you out of a situation where an ACL was denying access. It's been over ten years since I've been involved in this; it might have changed.

The POSIX draft ACLs had the same problem, where a chmod might not grant you the permission that you're asking for. Back when Solaris implemented POSIX draft ACLs, they needed to change many user-level interfaces (e.g., the chmod command and the ftp daemon) to have a chmod request work the way end users expected.

I'd be totally OK with the magic in something like Spring or Ruby on Rails is another good example if it had code I could inspect when things go wrong. That is really my one and only complaint that I have about "magic".

I currently find myself playing around now a lot with Dart which has a lot of the same convenience and just handles it via code generation rather than dynamic magic at runtime. For me at least, it's a really nice trade off. It also for the record has fully sound null safety which is something I have only ever seen in Swift previously but is a real pleasure to work with.

I guess in the Java world you have options like Quarkus that also give you a similar kind of experience.

The thing about getch() is that there's not really one standard getch(). There's a Windows version of getch() which is compatible with, notably, Borland's version for DOS (I think), and then various people have reimplemented getch() for other systems.
Regarding file permissions: This kind of archeaology (or forensics) is very important. Why? Because it exposes the trial-and-error over a multi-decade evolution. Sometimes trial-and-error is used as a pejorative (brute force hacking), but over the course of decades as technology advances, it is inevitable. The author is clear to point out that much of the issue here was due to scalability, but i think there is something else at work: unknown unknowns. It is impossible to be a 100% defensive software architecture team, and "room to grow" is usually jettisoned because it can lead to sloppy code, or worse, attack vectors. It's such a hard problem and analyses like these papers are first step in what I believe will become a full-blown historic discipline of software meta-thought. I say "become" because you can't really do this kind of analysis with 5, 10 or 20 years of history: you need multiple decades, and that is just now upon us.

I think there are applications for this kind of study. It can very clearly feed back into current practices, and possibly even more formalized language syntax that can be defensive and extensible. I would also love to see if this kind of analysis bears out which aspects of various languages (and architectural OS decisions) proved to be the most robust. Like with hemaglobin: it is one of the largest and oldest genes, it is hard to break via mutatation, and is shared by every animal with oxygenated blood cells.

The same could be said about Java or any other statically typed programming language in a text editor for that matter. Neither Vim nor Nano are intended as standalone IDEs, so it makes sense the UI is less complete. Despite their rudimentary features, many developers still prefer text editors for their low latency and wide availability across most shell environments.

This is no different in Kotlin. If you want richer features like completion, refactoring and static analysis, use an IDE.
> There have been more than enough examples (cough intel *cough) of monopolistic practices caused by unfair market practices. Using dominance to force suppliers to exclusive use of your products is not a practice enabled by the state.

Microchip fabrication is a very lucrative business, so why aren't there more competitors to Intel? I can think of at least two reasons:

1. It's a very capital-intensive industry. Here all government disincentives to saving, investment and business operation apply, mostly in the way of taxes, but also things like the SEC "accredited investor" qualification, restrictions to investment from foreign sources, barriers to crowdsourcing, licenses and bureaucracy, and a long etcetera.

2. Patents and copyright. Because of these government-granted monopolies competitors cannot copy products, so they represent another barrier to entry. Granted the idea behind patents is to incentivize private-funded research, but the drawback is reduced competition for the time the patents lasts. I believe patents are too long-lived in a world that moves at an ever-increasing pace.

If there were more real competitors there would be more suppliers willing to not sign with Intel. There would also be more competitors in the supplying space, of course.

>> Private ownership of all land might help

> Rivers too? And then what? I can sue you for polluting my downstream, but it's OK if a company just buys up the whole river, then they can ruin it to their heart's content?

People rarely ruin their own property, on the contrary they make an effort to preserve it and keep their value high. Public-owned property, on the other hand, has no such incentive. This is why people don't treat a hotel room or AirBnB with the same care as their own house. Like it or not humans are moved by incentives, not by ideals, so we should take that into account when designing our policies. In other words: policies should be judged by their results, not by their intentions.

In the case of the river it might make sense to have some kind of joint ownership by people and/or companies involved with it. Please notice that private ownership doesn't mean individual. Even assuming that a single company or individual owns the river and that they have more to gain by polluting the river than keeping it clean, they couldn't just dump whatever they want in there, as it gets to the sea. An effort should be made to factor in all negative externalities.

> This is just nonsense.

I don't think so, and neither do many renowned economists. I think you lack imagination or are misconstruing the libertarian proposals. The idea is not "get rid of every and all regulations", but being aware that regulations, taxes and centralization of the economy have rippling effects that, when combined, greatly reduce the wealth generation for all of us.

Roundabouts just work with no power or fancy electronics. Those cost money to maintain and install as well as don’t handle a few cars coming from each direction without impeding one.

Slowing down and making a slight turn does not compare to the fuel and maintenance cost coming to a full stop and getting the cars mass moving again.

And regardless of it being “hard” to see pedestrians the statistics back up them being far safer: you have to be an active participant and look rather then “green means go” and not pay attention.

Kaspersky (if you trust them) said this attack could have been a group within the CIA (known as UMBRAGE). My take is why not? With the lack luster response from the current administration and the convenient events that followed, Darkside disbanding, their servers and shitcoin seized, etc, would it be that big of a surprise it was one of our Alphabet Organizations, those same organizations that spy on the American Public.
Yes, and? In my opinion, the evidence points to it being more likely that the majority of cases are real symptoms of an attack or collection technique, even if some of the reports may be psychogenic.
It is safe to say something else is currently being developed/released that will add more confusion.

There's a good chance that you're failing to properly intuit their motivations. If it really is an organization that is out to make money, then it wouldn't want to destabilize a country like the US in the first place, any more than a dairy farmer wants to destabilize the health of a cow.

It might happen accidentally, as an unintentional side effect of efforts to extract a greater yield. (e.g, Colonial Pipeline.) But nobody wants to actually wreck the source of their livelihood.

And I don't think we have any reason to infer any other motive. This is certainly well outside my area of expertise, but their pattern of behavior doesn't really say, "state actor," to me.

The Soviets focused on the non-thermal applications of microwave radiation which can cause a variety of symptoms making them plausibly deniable. A 1976 report by the Pentagon reviewed Soviet research: https://www.dia.mil/FOIA/FOIA-Electronic-Reading-Room/FOIA-R...

This article from few days ago has a lot more info than the CNN post:
https://www.gq.com/story/cia-investigation-and-russian-micro...

from the GQ article:

> "The report detailed Moscow’s investigation of the effects of microwaves on the nervous system. Soviet, and later Russian, scientists found that exposing an animal’s brain to microwaves changed the frequency at which neurons fired. Neurons also became suddenly out of sync with one another. Some brain cells in mice were found to have withered. Nerves became damaged. The radiation also showed the potential to disturb the sacrosanct blood-brain barrier and, according to the DIA, resulted in “the alterations of brain function.” The most common symptoms reported in humans who had been exposed to microwaves for long periods of time sounded familiar: headache, fatigue, perspiration, dizziness, insomnia, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness, and lack of concentration.

> Like Frey, Soviet researchers found that turning the intensity of the beam up or down could produce differing effects in its target. A target’s unique physiology—a slightly different curvature of the skull, for example—also determined how this directed energy would affect them. A weapon that created an ever-changing kaleidoscope of neurological symptoms would have a powerful psychological dimension. If everyone’s symptoms are all slightly different, victims might question whether they’d all been exposed to the same thing—or if they’d been hit at all."

I'm in the long slow process of rebuilding parts of my life that were stunted in childhood, and learning how to feel and show honest emotions instead of fearing that I'll be rejected just for showing myself.

It is hard, and runs over into all the usual self-help, but the one thing that has pointed me in the right direction is when I realized that I choose how, and what, I show to the rest of the world, and if I want a positive feedback loop, it starts with me.

You are always in control of your end of the loop. Always. No matter how it feels otherwise, You Always Have The Choice.

It took me a lot to learn that, and I'm still working on it.
Factors:
- Quality of audio equipment
- The experience of the listener
- The nature of the audio

It’s quite obvious that the average listener listening to a 128kbps podcast stream is not the issue here. Nor is the average listener listening to a 320kbps stream of a loud, noisy pop/rock album.

But there are certain types of music where it’s much more apparent. I have a trained ear and so I can’t speak for everyone. There are certain types of music where I can’t tell the difference. But some classical piano albums on Spotify sound terrible to me. The artifacts of the conpression are more obvious on sensitive, detailed music.

All this to say that a random seection of people failing an online test to some random audio isn’t a comprehensive answer to this question.

> every time someone asks "how do i accomplish X task on the command line" (witness literally thousands of Stack Overflow posts like this) the answer is in bash.

I don't get this argument: The solution is to search for:

"how do i accomplish X task in fish"

This is what I do with xonsh.

Of course, the bigger point that is being missed is that when someone opts to use a shell like fish or xonsh, they're less likely to search how to do X! The reason they picked another shell is often because it is easier to use, etc. In the case of xonsh, it's mostly just Python. I do a lot more in it than I could do in bash, because I don't need to search the Internet for anything.
