You'll note that this implies a somewhat different definition of "infection" than the one I think you're reaching for.
I actually looked into this a few months ago and if memory serves, the last default setup authentication bypass was in something like 2003. Since then, I think the worst thing has been user enumeration. And 2003 was a very different world in terms of how much we cared about hardening, so ssh being reliable throughout all that time is really quite something.

Welcome to America, where we use political correctness to put people of color in their place. We’re only a couple decades removed from that kid getting a beating by the cops, so things are improving. So three months suspension is getting off light. Our schools don’t have solitary confinement yet but I’m sure we’ll get there someday.

Sure, we could try treating the student as a person, but that just makes it harder for society to exact the retribution it so deeply desires.
If you're really looking for a second factor for SSH, why not just use a standard 2FA approach, like a yubikey? Or even just TOTP with PAM? It seems way more effective and way less complex.
may i ask what field of knowledge the manipulated paper was from? Your page lists CS/NLP, so that field may also be linguistics or neurology (linguistics which would be easier to swallow for me) https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=FMScFbwAAAAJ&hl=en

Some wider questions would be: Are there similar problems in Mathematics/physics versus the life sciences/other social sciences? Are there the same kind of problems across different fields of study?

Also i wonder if replication issues would be less severe if there was a requirement to publish the software and raw data that any study is based on as open source / data. It is possible that a change in this direction would make it more difficult to manipulate the results (after all it's the public who paid for the research, in most cases)
Thanks.

I forgot to mention that the test case had constant long-running transactions, each lasting 5 minutes. Over a 4 hour period for each tested configuration.

This level of improvement was possible by adding a relatively simple mechanism because the costs are incredibly nonlinear once you think about them holistically, and consider how things change over time. The general idea behind bottom-up index deletion is that we let the workload figure out what cleanup is required on its own, in an incremental fashion.

Another interesting detail is that there is synergy with the deduplication stuff -- again, very nonlinear behavior. Kind of organic, even. Deduplication was a feature that I coauthored with Anastasia Lubennikova that appeared in Postgres 13.

Most order forms are snapshots of data at the instant of their lodgement, since they are sales contracts. It is a rookie blunder to link them relationally to master data for products and PII &c.

The record of an order is not intrinsically PII and thereby subject to rights of erasure. It may well be equally unlawful in some jurisdictions to irrevocably destroy it entire, it being necessary for accounting or tax audit, or even simply for mundane followup process, such as returns, that arise from actionable consumer rights. Ergo, such documents must fundamentally survive the erasure/redaction of any PII it does include.

Type 'How to speak English' into YouTube and you'll get absolute deluged with insanely complicated diagrams and flowcharts about stress-timing and vowel reduction -- so many rules that non-native speakers practice and explicitly learn but that you didn't even realize existed. Stress-timing alone must be really tricky coming from a language without it.

Random example: How do you pronounce the word 'for' 80% of the time? Like the word 'her' with an f. fer.

Huge mistake to refer to this as a "Zoom bombing". That kind of language is unnecessarily incendiary. This is a boy using bad words. He should be scolded, get detention, forced to do chores of some kind (at my school misbehaving students had to clean the cafeteria). Suspending or effectively expelling this boy is an egregious overstep - unless there's something that the article is leaving out.
One difference is that, as Bluetooth demonstrates, frequency hopping can be extremely fast at basically no cost. If you have a broad enough spectrum that the attacker needs to cover, that actually makes it harder to eavesdrop by adding a real cost (either a better listener or more listening devices). TOTP, on the other hand, typically allows for many seconds of leeway between the two systems, since there is no direct radio communication between the two systems that they can use to synchronize clocks (in the sense of a clock signal rather than actual timekeeping devices).

Both Australia and the UK ,the most I've needed is a proof of having a job (first page of a work contract).

Yes it takes a while to evict people and agents have a shared blacklist of tenants who didn't pay their bills but it is expected that the house owner has insurance to cover damages and loss of income, just a part of being a landlord.

Australia has a specific magistrates court for dealing with those issues and unscrupulous landlords or tenants for example

Well, you're in for a treat then!
The number of successful top tech companies keeps growing. The winner-takes-all reality of our current tech business environment means that the job market is:

1. These top companies that pay very well and offer excellent career growth prospects.

2. Everything else below.

So the real answer is "keep working at your fallback option until you can finally graduate to one of the lucrative positions at the top of the pyramid".

That's the real, no-BS best course for the employees themselves. For companies below that top, that is horrible situation because it means all their employees (and especially their best) are temps just waiting for their real shot elsewhere. However, it is also the reality: most employees do leave for that golden top-tech offer that pays them x2+ their current comp with no risk.

Non-top companies don't really help the situation much themselves; as we all know having FAANG on your resume is the surest way to get interviews, offers, and career upgrades everywhere outside of FAANG as well.

So, the "top-tech or bust" attitude will continue.

You're against this because it gives a false sense of security and might make people relax other measures, but then you suggest going with an intranet, which is widely known to create a culture of "if it's in the intranet it's safe" which is very detrimental to security as well - thought it was curious.
Freenode has rules about these things. Topical channels stay owned for 60 days after they stop being used. Redirecting people to another network has also never been a problem on Freenode. Freenode's new owner claims that redirecting people is "spam", justifying removal of channel ops.

I'm not understanding what you mean. The latter portion of your comment seems to disagree with the former.
I'm not sure either prosecutors or defense attorneys would, in general, like the idea of basically forcing a jury to hear about percentages that they can't somewhat control via expert witness narrative.

Or the idea of introducing most jurors to advanced statistics for the first time.

I mean, even a lot of reasonably intelligent, college educated professionals that have taken a statistics class get lots of things very very wrong, very often.
Any apps? What OS?
I don't know how that follows, you're not going to necessarily escape terrible bosses just by going to an established org. If that's the thought you'll have quite the rude awakening.

Everything you just said is true of working at a big co as well.

Plenty of people at big cos have bad bosses, plenty get over worked. Plenty feel they have no input etc etc, this is a human organizational and work issue that is true of both small startup and big org.

I've listened to my mother gripe about some of the biggest financial companies in the world from various positions all the way to fairly senior management for the last 20 years with everything that has been said here. The only solution she had was to jump to another company after investing sometimes up to 5 years of her time in places like that.

>> "barbarbar" ~ "blahblahblah"

I don't think this is right. "Blah blah" implies someone who is overly talkative. "bar bar" [1] is an onomatopoieia of someone speaking a non-Greek language, like "arf arf" is for a dog.

I'm not even sure it has the meaning of "speaking gibberish" that you give it. I think it was literally just the way that some ancient language that was not Greek sounded to Greek ears. A bit like with the Swedish chef in Muppet show.

[1] Actually, "var var". In Greek it's "βάρβαρος", pronounced "varvaros".
I don't want to call anyone out by making specific examples. I'm talking about comments that in their wording presuppose agreement that the person you're talking to doesn't know what they're doing, or the thing you're talking about is misguided and deserves to be sabotaged.

Implications like that may very well be correct, but as always, not sticking to the technical aspects of the subject makes it harder to get anything done.
> The correlate to the people you are describing in the United States are referred to as the 'homeless.'

It really isn't, and I'm assuming you have never been to Brasil, Bolivia, Peru (Venezuela is out of the question for travelers, but also another example), not to mention Central America and parts of Mexico, I'm sure.

We're talking about inter-generational poverty. People having absolutely no knowledge of what it's like to live a normal life. Poverty that takes you back in time. Some of these places don't have running water or electricity (in fact, no electricity isn't even a big deal in these areas, people are used to it).

Also the dirt roads I mention isn't some rural countryside. I'm talking about poor towns and cities, that have no resources to pave the roads. I still remember TV ads with politicians constantly promising to pave those heavily used roads, but of course it's rampant with corruption.

I think anyone who has not travelled outside of a developed nation, like the US or the UK, probably cannot imagine what people in poor countries consider their every day reality. The contrast is stark, and I'll repeat as many times as necessary, poor people in the US are not really poor. I guess some of them just take their developed nation for granted.

> how hard is it to just agree? I agree with conservatives and liberals even when they are saying ridiculous things.

It sucks you feel you have to do that just to survive your job. That's a toxic culture. These woke types feel you should bring your whole self to work, express yourself freely etc. One rule for me, another for thee. Agreeing with someone's worldview everyday when you actually disagree is bad for your ego. What's good for your ego is being authentic. I get what you mean about the need to be right all the time is a sign of a weak ego though. Though I don't have that, which is why I mostly don't bother talking about politics at work.

> "Oh yeah, I totally know what you are saying"

> "mmm hmmm"

> "Interesting I hadnt thought about it like that before".

That's different to actually agreeing. I would never explicitly agree with someone just to placate them at work. How do you think I've survived San Francisco for the last three years? I usually go with agreeing when I actually agree and not bothering to talk about it if I don't think they're mature enough to handle me disagreeing, which is pretty often. But I'm never, ever, going to agree with someone's drastically different worldview just to do my job that's totally unrelated. Nobody should have to put up with that.
>Negative judgment is exactly what is off mark.

Right, but I'm not the person giving the negative judgement. I specifically recognize the possibility of "excusing" them (ie. not negatively judging them) in some cases, and ask whether they should be excused in some cases or all cases. After this long conversation it appears you believe in the latter. Is this correct?

C++20 coroutines confuse me. Like it's not clear to me what problem they solve.

For the last few years I've been doing Hack (Facebook's PHP fork) professionally and async-await as cooperative multitasking is pervasive. IMHO it's a really nice model. Generally speaking, I've come around to believing that if it ever comes down to you spawning your own thread, you're going to have a Bad Time.

Go's channels are another variant of this.

The central idea in both cases is that expressing dependencies this way is often sufficient and way easier to write than true multithreaded code.

C++20 coroutines don't seem to solve this problem as best as I can tell.

It actually seems like C++20 coroutines are closer to Python generators. Is this the case? Or is this a classic case of a camel is a horse designed by committee and the C++ standards committee tried to create primitives to handle these and possibly other use cases? I honestly don't know.

Pretty much.

> some people need to have these differentials in personal power

Pecking order/social status is incredibly powerful for almost any social creature, regardless of its position in that order.

Moreover, one of the most effective ways to make yourself feel better about your lot in life is to see people who are obviously much worse off.
I’ve also seen them called “ultrawide 2k”, which makes it very clear that it isn’t 4k.
This was my experience exactly. Here are a few things to add:

* The company was acquired for ~1B, but the amount of equity individual contributors had still came out to pretty paltry sums (~$20k over 4 years for more junior engineers, maxing out at maybe $200k over 4 years for staff+ level).

* To make up for the uncompetitive equity buyout, they offered retention packages that seemed good on the surface. However, they were all backloaded: either on a 10/20/30/40 schedule or a 0/0/50/50 depending on amount. Almost all employees left before vesting most of their retention package, and no matter how you calculated it no one was being paid fairly versus what they could have made working from a competitive public company from the get-go.

Universal health care will be the same disaster. Fight it tooth and nail. Protect your healthcare. Maybe you win the case where your son is denied an online advice nurse because he “yelled racial slurs” but it’s too late; maybe he’s terribly sick now, maybe he’s dead. You can sue them but you can’t bring him back.

Just like this kid’s grade is gone. He fails this one. And you can sue but he’s not going to get it back. The learning is gone.

Constantly beware those who arrogate to themselves great power over you.
??? Here, the kid's lack-of-obviously-doing-anything-else is being used to provide (weak) evidence to exculpate the kid, not to damn him.
There is a system and it will be used. It is important for everyone reading this that either takes part or directs their own little systems to ask the question, what is the ramifications of this being abused? This can relate to cyber security, social fabric, and school systems. We all don't have to play along and it's important for everyone to stand up for what is right.

"The spaces have gentle names: The reflection room. The cool-down room. The calming room. The quiet room.

But shut inside them, in public schools across the state, children as young as 5 wail for their parents, scream in anger and beg to be let out."

I told some stories in the other thread here. I definitely agree with chitowneats' sibling comment about hiring based on race being morally repugnant also.
Well, not going to such a school might be more beneficial in the right family setting than going.

Also, if you think that 3 months out of 12 or so years of schooling will "abandon the kid and their future" than we should probably add years you have to go to school to minimise the effect of aggregated absence because of e.g. illness. Of course, 3 months of missed school are probably below any kind of measurability and natural and familiar influences are going to have a much higher bearing.

The kid is also probably not going to stay in a vacuum even when at home, it is definitely going to learn something on its own too. Maybe not something that will get it a better grade but most likely something rather useful in the real life.
Very interesting, thanks!

I'm actually quite curious then -- if a landlord has, say, 5 different prospective tenants then how do choose?

Because in NYC the landlord will take offers from those 5 tenants, run checks, and then pick the one who seems least likely to default.

In Australia and the UK is it the same, but they just go with more of their gut feeling or something, rather than hard data? Or is it primarily income listed on the work contract but they can't find out about debts?

One comment here is that the M1 does better.

No doubt that's true; I haven't observed this particular problem. However, OSX' logic for external monitors doesn't work a whole lot better than for older laptops -- in particular, if I connect it to a monitor that's connected through a Startech KVM it remains stuck at XGA (1024x768) resolution, which reflects the EDID the KVM provides to inactive computers. It doesn't update when the laptop is selected, and there seems to be no way to reset it.

Nothing else does that. IMO, it's all indicative of a prototype-level implementation.
