I agree, I don't think it can always be code-only. If you socially engineer someone into giving you an account, I really think that should be fraud.

I've thought about this for some years now and looked at various different cases tried under the CFAA or otherwise claimed to be unauthorized access.

I personally believe it should turn on whether or not you used deception as the means to gain access. That is, but for your deception, would you have gained access?

This, in my mind, proves they were up to no good (mens rea) and acts to make it clearer whether or not you were authorized. It also connects to the idea that the law is mean to counteract a type of fraud in general. I mean, how can anyone say they had authorized access if they had to lie to gain access?
I've been WFH for 20 years now...

It gets easier all the time, the pay gets better, and I actually have a much better setup at home then I've ever had in an office (Granted, I've had 20 years to set it up...)

I'm not concerned about 'losing out' in any capacity going forward, especially now when its become so common.

Clojure's value prop is:

1) default immutability (same simple data structures used in every library -> ecosystem composes better)

2) portable code across multiple host platforms (jvm, node, browser)

3) metaprogramming

IMO, in 2007, immutability on the JVM was a competitive value prop, but in 2021+ it is nothing special. It is the combination of the three things which is a competitive value prop today. Metaprogramming in particular is a mostly unexplored frontier, because it is very hard to do well, and very easy to do badly. Default immutability is kind of a necessary starting point to do metaprogramming well.

Be careful what you wish for. Safari's forced presence on the most lucrative mobile platform is the reason we don't, for all practical purposes, have only one browser engine, period, now. Which is something only nerds like us care about on a technical level, so I don't think the typical user is harmed or bothered by all browsers on iOS sharing an engine, but the social harm of Google 100% owning the Web would reach beyond us.

[EDIT] Incidentally, I see the fact that there's an angle for this being beneficial as a comment on the beyond-terrible state of privacy legislation and anti-trust enforcement in the US, same as the reasons that the App Store is a good thing (by which I mean, the worst things it forbids should just be illegal, and those restrictions enforced everywhere)

Monopoly power is not illegal itself. Abusing monopoly power is.

Apple can argue that their App Store should be the only way to sell apps in Apple phones because security and other stuff. But they can't take huge markup unless they are actually spending most of it into security and providing App Store (they are not).

If they drop their cut into 5% or so, and they would 3% of that running App Store, it's still handsome 40% gross margin and regulators would leave them be.
The people this tool is aimed for don't use make to do incremental parallel builds. They use it to as a glorified shell wrapper which produces sub commands. That's what the use-case for this tool seems to be at least.

I know what make is and I know how to use it, thanks.
I should check out the Marin shop. Toyota SF was really good service but their prices/charges are outrageous. I ended up going to ToyShop which isn't too far from the dealership and they are solid (they work primarily on Toyotas hence ToyShop)
> I get that this type of reactor is interesting as a research project. But given the build times, the bureaucratic hurdles and the quality, cost effectiveness and diversity of renewable alternatives, why bother?

Solar/wind is generally not suitable to provide of base loads at this time. Nuclear power has provided base loads for decades. Power companies charge each other a lot more for base load than variable loads. With that in mind, renewables can't generally be compared to nuclear - they're in a different class from one another.
Toyota ignored me when a dealership did a 10k service that I did not agree to (there was only 2k miles on the car at the time). Thus when I went to to a dealerahip for my 10k service (with an actual 10k miles on the car), they wouldn't do the free 10k service that came with the purchase of the vehicle.

Toyota has good vehicles as far as I can tell, but their ignoring of me has put me off of them.

For my next vehicle, I chose a different brand, and the vehicle had some issues, but that manufacturer made things right with no hassle.

I don't know which is better: a vehicle that will most likely be good with a company that doesn't care, or a vehicle that has some issues but with a company that does care and fixes it.
Yes, that will prevent many errors, but code like this converts bytes to colors, and there, you might accidentally write (example may or may not be valid rust)

u8[] a
...
Color( a[0], a[1], a[2])

where you should have written

Color( a[2], a[1], a[0])

or some other permutation.

Also, you’ll need types for every single color space. Do you mean sRGB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB), Adobe RGB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_RGB_color_space), scRGB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ScRGB), etc. Since that set isn’t fixed (every device potentially had its own RGB gamut) you’ll need a programming language that can create types at run time if you want to write a program that dynamically handles all kinds of devices.
I find that the text-based interface of Clonezilla can have a non-intuitive workflow at times. One thing I like about it is that it will output the final command at the end, as well as the command needed to perform a restore. I wonder how this GUI will compare.q

That's exactly the sentiment being shared on the reddit thread I just came here from:

https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/nr4awu/which_expensiv...

As a personal anecdote: my 2003 VW (1.8T GTI) had 330,000km when I sold it to a friend (it continues to run strong, but not sure the KMs). I did all the work myself and I did it on time. Biggest repair was AC Compressor, the rest was just routine maintenance and a couple $50 sensors. If a CEL came on I addressed it as soon as possible. At the same time, I had a friend with a similar year Jetta TDI which lit on fire around the 290k mark. Every time I was in her car the CEL was on, and I remember driving it home on a road trip once where you'd hold the pedal to the floor the whole way just to keep it at the highway speed limit.
Don't trivialize domestic abuse with this kind of comparison.
I wonder why they are using Schema instead of Spec. Schema was popular before the latter existed, I didn’t realize anyone still uses it.

Because we're inured to hype, and to constant 'get rich quick' messaging, either overt or covert. Everything has to be bigger and more world-changing than before, and it has to happen overnight. And you have to participate in this madness NOW, before all the gains are gone.

>That's to be expected - press releases focus on super-optimistic specs and timelines.

It is only in US and Silicon Valley that it is called Super Optimistic. Many parts of the world look at the difference in projected TimeLine from 2020 to 2029 ( A difference of 9X ) and we call that BS or flat out lying.
That is probably exactly why they are using it ... you don't get to 250k lines of code overnight.
You're right, it doesn't prove no one else hasn't worked on it- however there is absolutely 0 chance the dealership would win this in court, and I speak from experience of having to gone to court for similar issues. If she testified in front of the court that she only had the car serviced there AND had the documents documenting those services, the onus would be on the dealership to prove they haven't done the damage. They could defend themselves maybe by saying they use a special wrench that is physically incapable of stripping the screw(and having an expert's testimony to prove that), or any other physical or electronic signs of someone else having worked on the car - but if they can't demonstrate that then there's no way they would win such a case. Zero.
Just out of curiosity, do you like your Kia? I see that cars from Korean manufacturers tend to be very competitive in terms of pricing and/or feature. But I am not sure if they are as reliable compared to, say, Japanese cars.

An anecdote of why I'm asking -- I have Samsung dishwasher, for example, and it broke less than two years for very, very minimal use (I use it like once every two weeks). Based on that experience and having owned a Samsung galaxy phone that slowed down significantly after about 2-3 years (again, I installed almost no apps other than essential ones like Gmail and a couple of bank apps), I am not sure if Korean manufacturing has matured enough for me to consider buying a car made by one of the Korean manufacturers. This is, of course, not to diss on Korean manufacturers. Just wanted to explain why I am asking this question to begin with.
Can you give some examples if you don't mind me asking?
why is using something too much a bad thing? LOL

One worker complained that the manager “wanted butts in seats because we couldn’t be trusted to [work from home] even though we’d been doing it since last March,” adding: “I’m giving my notice on Monday.”

I've seen this with my current employer. Their message has been that going forward at some point, "Working remotely is not an option."

There's really no reason I can't work from home. I've been doing it since March 2020. I don't have any customer-facing responsibilities; I administer servers and write code. The only thing that requires my physical presence is the occasional need to install or replace hardware.

It was one thing to not support remote work in 2019 when it was an unknown. In 2021, we've proven it can work; workers know it, and employers should know it. There's no un-ringing that bell.

I'm older, and have no desire to return to the startup lifestyle again but there's no doubt I can find remote work. As I see it, the choice is mine, and taking a mini-retirement and looking for new opportunities if my employer wants to be inflexible is not exacly unappealing.
I know it's a lot of practice, but I am not impressed - I was more impressed by Atlas' salto and parkour as it really means a lot for our civilization unlike sports achievements, which are nothing but waste and distraction.

It isn't just about access to the system, but access to the data as well, and he accessed data that he was not authorized to access. That is "exceeding authorized access".

- Logging onto the system: officer has technical access to log on and is authorized to log on, no problem

- Accessing normal data the officer needs for legitimate reason: officer has technical access to this data and is authorized to access it, no problem

- Accessing data for the purpose of a bribe: officer has technical access to this data, but is not authorized to access it, thus they are exceeding their authorized access

Those transmissions are garbage. They shed a lot of clutch material. It will fail before it gets to 200,000km. By the time it gets up there, if it's still working, the dirty fluid is the only thing giving it enough friction to shift. If you tried changing it at that point, it would just start slipping. A drain and fill ever 50k is the thing to do with those.
I am still baffled by the use of Real Names online..

As a late 70's child that got the internet when I was in my late teens it was unthinkable at that time to give anyone any personal info about you online. "Stranger Danger" and everyone online should be thought of as an axe murder was the dominant position

I am not sure when or why this shift happen to where it was common for people to not only post their full personal info but also post real time location information about where they are and what they are doing...

It is all baffling to me even today

Take a look at one of my Makefiles[0]. It uses most features Make has to offer (to much so). It doesn't matter what state you start from, fresh clones repo or outdated virtualenv. Running `make run` will do everything needed to run the application instance, `make test` will run the testsuite. Each command is it's own "functional" block of shell script with it's inputs (prerequisites) and outputs (target). All recipies will run in Bash on all system btw, see the first line of the Makefile.

Still, a Makefile with only targets, no prerequisites is less cruft than a Bash script with a switch statement. But eventually your (team) needs will grow and you start to introduce more logic and dependencies. This is where Make shines for me.

If you don't see any difference at all between community and othering, or if you think we need a single universal metric that defines whether categories are being used for evil in every single scenario, then I don't think you understood what I was saying about fuzziness.

Categories are a neutral tool, it's how they're used and the effects of their usage that determines whether or not an action involving them is problematic -- just like every single other tool in existence.

Well, the F-22 has been in service for over 15 years. The J-20 is probably not quite an equivalent, but I wouldn't want to count on that. Su-57 numbers might be too small to matter, but again do you want to count on that? The F-35 isn't equipped to fight against a peer adversary, so you're essentially relying on the geopolitical situation to continue to be that there isn't one.
You are misunderstanding the thread, I just mentioned some of the languages I like (still waiting for Go's generics), and the comment I was replying to made an assert about an implementation that uses cgo.

Both of us are dismissing the assertion that "Arenas are, however, unfeasible to implement in Go because it is a garbage collected language."

You can do manually memory allocation via a syscall into the host OS, use unsafe to cast memory blocks to the types that you want and then clean it all up with defer, assuming the arena is only usable inside a lexical region, otherwise extra care is needed to avoid leaks.

The policy of letting inmate run or vote in these elections seems half baked. I wouldn't necessarily object to inmates electing their own representation for themselves. But lumping them in with actual residents seems foolish. What do someone in the prison and someone outside it have in common? Nothing. So they shouldn't have the same rep. Similarly I doubt the local government has much say over what happens in the prison, nor do prisoners contribute anything to that government. So what practical or principle reasons are served by this?

I think you and I are on the same wavelength, and I appreciate your take on this issue. It's tricky looking from the outside in with all of the misinformation though (hence my mention of the Israeli propaganda). And I definitely agree, nothing justifies antisemitism (to be honest, I really don't understand it either). I hate to be critical in these situations because I don't want to lend credence to those who'll jump in and pretend I'm on their Jewish hate train.
The Complexity of Usage-Based Billing
Not really. I would just read the word "fraud" in the very title of the act and decide that means that whether or not the access was unauthorized depends on whether you lied to gain access.

I won't claim that test is perfect, but it's a lot clearer than the current standards and when I go through past cases, I don't see it coming to any indefensible conclusions.

Yes, that would agree with the majority holding in this case. It's important to note that even if they didn't violate the CFAA, they likely broke plenty of other laws and can be punished for that.

So this conduct absolutely deserves to be punished, just not under the CFAA.
I guess I'd give you interesting (although plenty of normal people find consumer tech interesting that uses kubernetes under the hood) but kubernetes clearly provides tangible value to many organizations.

Hydroelectric storage plants take about as much time to build as nuclear plants. And they're not cheap, either, costing billions of dollars [1]. The difference is that we'd need to build 4 nuclear plants for each one we currently have to achieve 100% electricity generation. We'd need to build about 400 times as many hydroelectric storage plants than we have right now just to make one day's worth of electricity storage (12.5 TWh vs 25 GWh storage presently).

Nuclear power is responsible for more green energy production than solar and wind combined. I'm really baffled as to how one can convince themselves that nuclear power is ineffective in combating climate change.

As far as I can tell this article contains fewer arguments about whether work from home is better or not, and more arguments about how certain companies are messing up the transition through bad communication.

The one argument, #3, about corporate culture is in favor of not WFH. They are saying that research shows corporate culture is important, but the methods used to build corporate culture when people are WFH are failing badly. Which indicates that if corporate culture is indeed important, then the only way to really build it without pointless BS is by having people working together in a physical location.
I am loath to defend agents of the government, law officers or otherwise; but I have to agree with the decision here.

Van Buren violated department policy, and perhaps other laws in his conduct. But he did not gain unauthorized access to a system. He already had authorized access - he just used it improperly.

Similarly, if I were granted access to my company's production database to perform some kind of operation that required me to read/write data, and I used that privilege to access financial records of customers, I would certainly be violating my company's policy and likely some privacy and financial laws. But it would not be gaining unauthorized access, as I was explicitly granted access to that system - just for a different purpose.
Hey, NatGeo doesn't bother me. I know it's NatGeo, so I discount it accordingly.

I reckon it's pretty interesting that the scientists claim to have "conclusively proved" that this very high-energy event occurred in a globular cluster. The article is quite right to note that that's not supposed to happen. Violent cosmic events don't happen in globular clusters.

It's interesting to think about how technology has increased humanity's control over entropy. While entropy is generally increasing, a lot of new technology can be simplified to a new way of decreasing entropy. Especially in the field of biotech and gene therapy. Evolution is based on entropy and yet the cutting edge of biology has become guiding or in some cases undoing the effects of it.

I think it's against human ambition to surrender to entropy. Religion has emphasized surrender as a way to find peace but I don't personally see how those words do anything except placate. There's no deeper meaning to surrendering, other than what someone gives to it. Progress isn't made in calm waters.

To a certain degree, it is looking at different sides of the same coin. Surrendering to a higher power to find meaning in entropy as opposed to surrendering to the fact that there might not be a deeper meaning or higher power. Giving up on feeling "peace" is an option too.
