Mysterious health incidents rise to 130, US officials confirm
No.

It just demonstrates that they're incompetent.
They have. Here is a well known example from 2017 [1]:

During the conspiracy, the FSB officers facilitated Belan’s other criminal activities, by providing him with sensitive FSB law enforcement and intelligence information that would have helped him avoid detection by U.S. and other law enforcement agencies outside Russia, including information regarding FSB investigations of computer hacking and FSB techniques for identifying criminal hackers. Additionally, while working with his FSB conspirators to compromise Yahoo’s network and its users, Belan used his access to steal financial information such as gift card and credit card numbers from webmail accounts; to gain access to more than 30 million accounts whose contacts were then stolen to facilitate a spam campaign; and to earn commissions from fraudulently redirecting a subset of Yahoo’s search engine traffic.

Here's what the Treasury had to say about it in April [2]:

To bolster its malicious cyber operations, the FSB cultivates and co-opts criminal hackers, including the previously designated Evil Corp, enabling them to engage in disruptive ransomware attacks and phishing campaigns.

IPFS is what you're looking for, and there's already a IPFS site for LibGen so SciHub is probably not far behind.

Note: Filecoin despite advertising itself for years as an incentivisation layer for IPFS is not - it's two separate networks [1], so it lacks all the features of the mature IPFS protocol.

Hi all - biggest challenge with this project was trying to get a pytorch LSTM model to run predictions in the browser. After trying to get onnx and tensorflow conversions working, had to give up and rebuild the model in Keras to export to tf.js. Web workers also help to have it run in the background, but was surprised to see the speed differences between different machines and modern phones (fast).

Yeah the different keyboard shortcuts are annoying. Though I have the opposite perspective, and macOS’ feel much more natural.

That said, on macOS there is a preference pane in which you can rebind almost all shortcuts, and add shortcuts for things that don’t have them, and it works OS-wide without fuss. In particular you can add shortcuts to services (which is something you probably want to look into), and you can set Automator workflows as services. I haven’t seen anything quite like that on Linux.
The only way this is even close to true, imo, is you have really good tests and have taken the time to get those tests running with every available sanitizer, including MemorySanitizer (which is a huge pain).

And even then, I think you're still behind rust. Sanitizers can only catch data races / memory errors / uninitialized reads / etc that actually happen. OTOH, Rust _proves_ that your program doesn't have these faults (modulo unsafe blocks).
Well, yes. What else? Getting rid of the novel coronavirus doesn't seem likely at this point. So, either we control it by vaccination or we go back to how it was before any vaccines.

Hopefully, eventually the virus evolves into a less deadly form and maybe our immune systems develop some more resistance. I don't know if the latter is actually reasonable to expect.

I don't really agree. "Works" is a lower bound for code, but hardly the end all and be all. There's a whole world out there of "bad but works" code.

There's also a well-known phenomena of large nations harboring multi-national corporations that break the law in other nations they operate in.

That doesn't mean that the large, developed nations in question are engaging in organized crime.

If it did, then we could pile a lot of crimes at the feet of Western governments. Some mining firm violently puts down a strike in Central America? Clearly, we can conclude that Canada/the US is engaging in terrorism! [1]

Polio was never eliminated. It still persists in poor countries and among abject poverty stricken communities.

Wild poliovirus has been eradicated in all continents except Asia, and as of 2020, Afghanistan and Pakistan are the only two countries where the disease is still classified as endemic.[5][6]

Torrents are not suited for websites at all. There are however numerous websites which are available on IPFS.
All users are hostile users and all users are preferred users. Define what your system will allow through rate limits and caching. Assume users would destory your site if given the chance because they will. If you are exposing private data through graphgl config it or drop the private data or drop graphgl and user a backend.
Sorry, I was referring to an older setup I had where I kept multiple copies of Xcode for project testing. Either way, 20 gigabytes is still way too large for a program running on a laptop that starts at 256 gigs of storage (220 after the worlds largest operating system gets comfortably situated).

As for Metal, I think my statement still stands. I can't think of a single developer who would prefer to write shaders in a language that is slower than Vulkan and more complicated than OpenGL. Charm be damned, it's an asinine practice, and Apple should just default to an open standard like Vulkan, which would likely be a win-win situation for all of their users. I don't care about Metal and it's existence as an API is what makes developers around the world lament cross platform development.

I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make with the encryption bit, but it's a well known (and demonstrated) fact that Apple has the ability to unlock and access your iCloud data without your permission or credentials. They've done it several times, and have even used it to wiretap high-profile targets before (like poor Rudy Giuliani, or our friends over at SciHub!)

>The same could be said for Windows 10, eh?

Almost, though MacOS is technically the "larger" operating system: the disk image is more than twice as large as Windows, and it occupies about 50% more space on a fresh install. Both operating systems are pretty terrible choices though, and I should hope that incoming CS grads care enough about their freedom and privacy not to hand it all over to a centralized company that is ultimately beholden to a board of shareholders.
Looks like an interesting video. Thanks for the link.
> No, it hasn’t. The only common annual vaccination is for influenza, it was introduced only in recent decades, and, as I mentioned, only half the population or less take it annually.

You only take flu annually but there are other vaccines you need to take periodically. E.g. tetanus booster every 10 years etc. For example, I'm supposed to take my last HPV vaccine this summer and this is the 3rd shot. I'm 25 and I took approx. one vaccine every year for the last few years. I'm not saying strictly one every 12 months, it's just that it doesn't make sense to be outraged about COVID vax since regular vax is already part of our lives.

While I tend to agree with your argument, there is a difference: crypto is safe if no one knows it exists, or rather no one can link ownership to owner.

I have 0 problems with tabs. I used to and man they can be annoying.

The system that finally worked for me is to bind "Close all Tabs to Left" to Ctrl + Left, likewise for right, and Close All Except Open Tab to Ctrl + Up.

I found this enables painless instant culls, I just save URLs everything I want to survive a total cull (it's hardly ever more than 2 URLs, most tabs are junk which I suppose is the main problem).

Ctrl + W for Close Current Tab and Ctrl + Shift + T for Reopen Closed Tab are also pretty useful (require no bind).
This is why all crypto arguments end in “world peace” or a Bitcoin nation state which is centralization. The end game never makes sense.

So graduates are expected to show proficiency in a minimum of 5 different programming languages? That sounds like an enormous waste of time.
So you accrue wealth and can never use it. What’s the point?
The issue is really availability of the vaccine at all. It would suck if a person from country A traveling in developing country B needs to get vaccinated yet again in order to move on to country C, but developing country B has a poor healthcare system that travelers would reasonably want to avoid contract with. One would then be compelled to visit a private hospital for expats at great expense, but sometimes even that option is not available.

Even if nasal sprays bought from a corner pharmacy are on the horizon, they would probably only reach developing countries years from now – and merely buying a product from a pharmacy in most countries might not get you an internationally recognized certificate of vaccination.
> I got downvoted for saying that maybe it's time to treat serious ransomware attacks (infrastructure, security, health, etc.) as terrorism - as in the sense that they're a threat to the national security.

A precise definition of terrorism tends to be difficult to pin down (mostly due to the difficulty of considering what is a legitimate asymmetrical warfare tactic by a nascent liberation movement versus an illegitimate terrorist act). But a general rule of thumb is that terrorism is a) violence b) directed at civilian populations c) to effect policy.

However, there are threats to national security that are not terrorist in nature; gang warfare in Mexico and Central America would be an example of such a threat.
Well, presumably the rest of the team would push for increased monitoring and access control until coworker was no longer confident they could steal the bonus without getting caught, at which point your systems have been hardened and risk from outside attackers is also probably reduced. But, I'm definitely getting into 'hand wavy' territory here.

Feel free to elaborate. This is fairly common knowledge if you Google parts of what makes ProtonMail (and others) susceptible to state actors.
iF you store your coins on a storage device not connected to a computer, maybe. As long as the government does not have access to the computer/phone the storage gets connected to, at any one time.

With state actors, you have to assume they have access/backdoors to most modern computing devices, and that device has to connect to the internet only twice - feds activate the backdoor and give it instructions, and have the device send the requested info back to the fed.

Minix being the most popular operating system, thanks to Intel-backdoor-on-a-chip, is only the tip of the iceberg.
EDIT reply:...

Duh - forex - yeah - had folks in our Coworking space that were doing forex a few years back, and... I never connected that with what I was thinking. I was more thinking just... if I travel - if I buy some euros, then sell then when I get back and there's a profit (or loss) is that a taxable event? But... professional trading, yeah, seems obvious.

AFAIK, Gmail has suffered on the order of 100x+ fewer security incidents than Outlook. However, I am unclear on the distinction between cloud Outlook and the Exchange/Outlook combo. So me saying "Outlook" may be a mistake, and the correct term may be Exchange.
zstandard continues to amazes me. Compared to zlib (level=4 I think) it seems to have best of both worlds (good speed & comparable compression ratio).
Why is every and any TOR and sometimes VPN user deemed a DoS attack... it discriminates against users who value privacy by forcing hCaptcha on them by default. Worst of all... it could be a de-anonymization attack as well, hence why I as a regular TOR user, just exit the page immediately when that happens.

For any of my pages that do happen to use Cloudflare, I am luckily able to disable this discrimination in the CP so kudos for that at least, but terrible defaults imo.
looks like a neat project, might set it up in my homelab and give it a try - but I dont' think it's quite what I'm looking for
First time compilation is notoriously slow, since Rust has to compile your dependencies into object files, and to make "release" binary, it has to re-compile those same dependencies to make a statically linked and optimized executable. The actual debug process is fairly quick though, since it can just link the deps to a lazily compiled binary for debugging purposes.
Implicit in your question is the idea that the reason there was a stronger response here was because of optics—because a large mass of US citizens demanded it.

I think a more likely answer is that optics had little to do with it. Attack a hospital and you've got angry hospital administrators mad at you. Attack an oil pipeline and you've got billionaire oil executives and shareholders who have much of the US government in their pocket mad at you.

You really don't want to anger people who can buy US elections.

Like any story like this, you needed to be there to get the context.

One of the downsides of pair programming is that it's great when you both have complimentary skillsets. It's less productive when no one knows what the heck is going on. In this case, the task was to benchmark how many writes one could make to Kafka using our monolith. They wanted to see at least 10K/writes per second. The only problem was no one knew how to use Kafka (well), including the person who was asking for it.

So I wrote some gnarly looking Bash code to fire up Kafka, Zookeeper, the app, etc. Some people wanted to use Docker, but I didn't see the value in using a slower VM w/ limited resources. I wanted to use as much CPU as possible. My pair didn't know Docker, Bash, or Kafka. I lost my pair somewhere around talking about having to clean up zombie processes.

It went downhill from there.
That's true, but it's a pretty common interpretation of the term "natural experiment".

Few, if any, "natural experiments" are actually experiments in a rigorous sense. But they are a thing that happens: you have an uncontrolled happenstance that allows you to infer, but not prove, something you want to learn more about.

When the surface meaning of a term has no referents, it will often be co-opted to refer to something people need a term for (assuming it's compact and convenient). Another example that comes to mind is "homophobia", which doesn't refer to actual "fear of homosexuals" but rather to a dislike for them -- a thing which is very common but doesn't have a convenient, short expression. (The term actually comes from being the opposite of "homophilia", a reasonably straightforward but outdated term for homosexuality.)

So it's true that we don't really have a good control and will have difficulty separating out real causes and effects. But a thing definitely happened and we can definitely try to learn something from it -- a notion that happens often enough to merit a name. If you've got a better one we can try to make it catch on.

In a heartbeat. Like others, I could probably afford to do 60% for three days. The reality is that I'm a startup junky and it's unlikely to work. I tend to work in fast environments with rather grueling work loads, which usually comes with a disregard for personal time. At the later stages, things cool off and I take advantage of my front loading of work to relax a bit. Then I find another one.

It's a terrible cycle and if I ever have an "F you" valued exit, I'll stop for good. Or maybe work three days a week.
The college I went to they would bundle these sorts of classes into other ones. For example my 'C' class was also a how to get around in unix class and it was 1 day a week. But they also had pre-reqs so you had to have the 3 other classes first before you could do that one. So they could assume a particular level of education. When you are on your 2nd or 3rd language sometimes you are not sure what is important in a new one. So sometimes it takes a bit longer to learn. Now having a few under my belt I have a good idea which bits to look at first in a language. If all you knew was java and it was 1-2 classes of it, then being dumped into lisp and picking it up in 2-3 weeks would be a challenge for many.

Java as a language is actually tiny. So are most languages. Most of the pain is in the tools, build chains, and libraries that go along with them. Also sometimes what works very well in one lang is a pain in another. For example the dictionary in python has no real equivalent in C, unless you use some lib or write something yourself. In java you would need a map or hashmap class and knowing it exists sometimes is the biggest hurdle. But at least it is in the std library. So sometimes those sharp edges bite students as they are first starting with new langs and have decent exp in another language.

You've shortened 6,463,545 links so far. Assuming you're using a charset of [A-Za-z0-9], that gives you 14,776,336 total possible 4-character URLs. Almost half way there!
