>Firstly, thats not an argument, its a tautology.

No, it's a correction. You suggested that "we made the attack surface vast". The point is that you're wrong. It's vast due to actual complexity and interconnectedness. It's vast by definition.

>Secondly Attack surface is vast because we have shipped several billion locked down phones...

This again illustrates that you don't understand what the attack surface is, thus you believe fallacies such as "we made it vast". It's not a phone or single entry point. It's every bit of software that a system touches or is comprised of, including custom, commercial, and OSS. It's firmware and hardware and networks and configs. It's social. And, to some extent, it's those same vulnerabilities in systems that connect to a system.

Again, it's vast by necessity b/c our modern world depends on software, technology and interconnectedness.

>Mate, they are criminals, they are culpable by definition, its in the Oxford dictionary. They have always existed and always will.

So, this is your grand rationale for focusing all ire on the targeted companies vs the actual criminals? Your overall position then is that we should have no deterrent (why have laws at all?) and just lock our doors/secure our systems. If the inevitable criminals get you, then it's your fault.

>Whats the point of banging on about [criminals]?

Pretty obvious: to acknowledge they exist, are the actual cause of the problem, and need to be deterred/punished as part of any comprehensive solution.

>Even if Russia and China magically dissapear tomorrow, the problem will remain:

Actually, the problem would be substantially reduced to relatively nil. Just removing Russia alone would have a massive impact.

And, the solution-set becomes vastly different when fighting domestic criminals vs deterring state-sanctioned attacks from foreign adversaries.

But, here you are working hard to absolve the U.S.'s foreign adversaries again, "mate". Very curious.

>Ita like if someone is always stealing stuff from your house, and I tell you maybe you should try locking the door.

Another straw man. I've acknowledged repeatedly that we should lock the door. That discussion is over. What we're discussing is your position that we should not attempt to deter criminals (especially if they are foreign). Instead, they should be able to try breaking your locks with impunity and, if they succeed, then it's your fault.
I made this comment earlier, but Wendover has a great video on this very topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p0fRlCHYyg
There's a difference between children painting Polynesian-looking tattoos on themselves because they think they're cool, and a multinational corporation exploiting whatever fragments of culture seem profitable, and wallpapering “Disney magic” over the rest.

Imagine the uproar if Disney made a film about Christian culture – maybe some story about St Paul going on a quest to slay a dragon using Jesus Cant (the tongue of magic) – and then started selling tacky Body-of-Christ merch (or something), and that was the only representation of Christianity in mainstream culture. Some people would get upset, and I don't think they'd be unjustified.
Some people learn also by sharing their current thoughts and learning from how other people react. One way to gain perspective about your ideas is to communicate them.

I have no idea about the reasons why that Googler published a blog, maybe he's just self-obsessed idiot who doesn't give 3 fucks about other people's perspective, like one would think reading the reactions here.

But I don't see an issue in putting out random thoughts on a small personal blog with a comment section.

I'm firmly in the camp of when people ask how old we are, we get to --actualAge (as long as you birthday is after lock downs). It's like the old drinking adage, if you can't remember it, it didn't happen.

This is why anonymity is so important on the internet.
> However, on one hand I think it's an understandable slip: after all, Israel calls itself the Jewish homeland and often tries to extend criticism it receives to all Jews (by calling it antisemitic)

“Some racists justify racism by equating their racism with their race and calling criticizing of their racism an attack on their race” doesn’t even begin to justify, excuse, or mitigate racism against that race. That’s what all racists of all races do, and if we accept that as a justification for racism all racists will be justified by other racists.
I opened the live and the only reasonable thing I can say is that there are people in the stadium?
How can it be considered as a proof that these people are not faking it?
I'm curious if you allow the project to enter actuals after the fact, then you can compare them to individuals/aggregate estimates so you know how biased your model/individuals/the organization is on these types of estimation efforts. You could give that as feedback as an additional service: "You're constantly overconfident on X type tasks..."
> Unless you come from a programming background where floor behavior is expected for integers, it was strange.

In all fairness, the C/C++ and Java communities were and are quite substantial.

Of course the rest of us ought to expect 4/3 as the result of 20/15 ;-)
Once I had a developer use a Meme image as an API response in development.

It was funny, but it was surprisingly hard to explain to stakeholders during demos that this was not the real API response. I think I fielded questions from at least four annoyed/confused people asking why the image was there and insisting that it must be changed before we go live.

I even got follow up emails asking for timelines on when it would be fixed.

So sometimes it's better to just use a real placeholder or something realistic.
“A Canticle for Leibowitz” is a great book which follows this scenario.
Usually directing attention to Twitter mobs by framing a given topic in a hard-left worldview. Usually this is done through passive voicing or bizarre whataboutism.

Mind that most of these are going to be vague out of context, unless you recall the specific events surrounding them. They're there to stir the pot when it's already boiling, or to start a flame when they believe a subject deserves more outraged voices.
The metric is the amount of transactions, because NFTs don't have a market price. Since each is unique (mostly), they have to be sold on something that works like eBay auctions. There's no liquid market where identical shares are traded and the bid and ask prices are reasonably close, like the NASDAQ.

So NFT markets don't crash, they stall. As I mentioned previously, this works just like Beanie Babies on eBay. High asking prices, no bids.
Understood, that makes total sense. I haven't seen it that way! Thanks for letting me know, I'll keep that in mind since I currently have 0 idea how to make this project viable or if it would be necessary to do so.
That's so weird considering the USA only recently allowed women in combat.
Then go have a chat with Jimmy Wales about diversifying the political beliefs of his editors. And good luck.
And as far as book selection goes... no one is getting fired for picking Where the Red Fern Grows - but watch out if you go the sci-fi/fantasy route. There are parents that will throw an absolute fit if a school had their kids reading anything with magic.
I don't think there's a solution. Maybe high fines and years in prison. Let it be known that if you share that video of your ex you will end up locked for a good while.

And I also think all porn sites should allow only verified users to upload.

Unless of course said ID is expensive for the poor and they can't afford it (hint: it is). Or you purposely close offices/DMVs in black districts to make it harder to obtain that ID (hint: Republicans do).

Slashdot. It provides no content that is not available elsewhere first, but satisfies a 20 year old muscle memory compulsion.
Explanations I've heard tie it to the SolarWinds breach, which is far worse in implication than we may have ever thought, or that Russia's Internet Research Agency may be amping up political pressure on Joe Biden through state-sponsored attacks.

I agree, airliners are marvels of modern engineering. I am grateful that we can be flippant and call them bog-standard because we have (collectively) become so good at making them.
The quote was: "If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself"

Yes, the sentiment is (possibly) anti-israel, not anti-semetic, but the wording itself implies that Jews have insatiable appetites for war. I'm not saying it wasn't an honest mistake, but someone who is chief diversity officer at a major corporation should certainly be attuned to the difference between Jews and Israelis.
> They're on a path to becoming more racially progressive than much of the U.S.

Having spent time in Brazil and as a luso-American, that is ridiculous. Brazil has an even bigger problem with racist police violence and extra-judicial killings than the US does!
I am an engineer who successfully performed my work from home.

> Why does an employer want me to suffer more, even if it will cost them?

In this question, there is an embedded assumption that your employer wants you to suffer more.
If, for example, out of blue they declare there is a water pipe burst and rush everyone out, yet a few people remain and bring in fake/doctored ballots, that should prove that votes weren't being counted properly.
I agree. It is frustrating that the NSA essentially spends taxpayer dollars to collect and hoard zero days that eventually get used against us when they could be disclosing them to vendors who could in exchange selectively deploy patches geographically to always enable protection of these very assets without interfering with international NSA missions. There is no reason the country responsible for developing virtually all modern technology should be so encumbered by it as to let it be used against us.
Facebook is reportedly building a smartwatch and sales could start next year
No, it's not logical at all.

Unless, people were buying hype and nothing more, and NFTs are indeed are a ridiculous fad with no intrinsic value.

When saving as CSV, Excel will use the regional "List separator" setting. You can override this in Windows 7 with Region and Language > Additional Settings > List separator.

The democratic party sued to ensure there were no videos closer, primarily for identification purposes. That this shows is the chain of custody. You can ensure the ballots aren't moved, modified or stolen. This dispels conspiracy theories on the right, they're trying to show their base the audit is legit.

There are many additional cameras (one at each table, one recording the ballot, etc) which are not public. Those can be viewed by the court.

If you take that approach, where libraries must rely on third-party packages even for fundamental operations, how do you avoid the JavaScript/Rust situation where every application requires a huge number of (transitive) dependencies?
There have audits that found nothing https://www.maricopa.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2119.

I also disagree with your claim about this being a ‘well controlled and good audit’. These are the same people that were searching for bamboo and using a black light for watermarks that do not exists and never have.

Don't rule out the design/development of other planes in US arsenal. The F-35 is just in the news here this week (yeserday maybe) about it being a meh plane because of the bureaucratic process. The Air Force project seems to be an outlier and definitely not the norm.
I've contemplated building a reverse debugger for wasm - rr is amazing, but frustrates me with touchy dependence on hardware features (sometimes doesn't work in a VM, doesn't support some CPUs, etc) and lack of ability to fork the timeline. I'd love to be able to backup, change a variable, and then proceed forwards - tree style undo and redo, as it were.
For me, it may look like I work longer hours than before, but I find my work hours less concentrated. I usually try to log on by 9am and will find myself finishing up between 6pm and 8pm depending on the day. But I often step away a number of times throughout the day for various reasons (no kids, but I assume those with kids have even more reasons for taking a few minutes here and there away from work). It also allows me to do something else during low-energy periods rather than trying to force myself to work (I've even rarely tried naps, although it never works well for me).

The effect is that it leads to a "longer" work day, but less concentrated than it would have been in the office. And similar productivity, IMO. I wonder if some of your co-workers you describe may do the same. In some ways, I feel like it's better work-life balance for some people as it's "ok" (in some work cultures) for WFH employees to take the time as they need it. And others are equally fine ensuring their work time is as concentrated as possible because they have other things they would rather do in evenings, etc.
Having talked to former and active Navy guys, especially working on this stuff, I can tell you that ship don't dodge shit in a modern environment. They are simply to big and slow. If you can't get rid of the attack by counter-measures or shooting the missile down, the ship will be hit.
The guy would have a heart attack if he knew that we have some small flying devices that can record you in real time and send the video thousands of km away.
I agree that we shouldn't dump on other people's ideas, but I think one reason there is so much vitriol against crypto and NFTs on HN is the lack of real regulation. The field creates systemic market risk that could negatively impact everyone. The SEC requires investors in high-risk, early stage tech companies to be accredited, so that if an investment fails (which 90% do), accredited investors at least have some cushion. In the case of crowdfunded investments, there are dollar amount limits to protect individual unaccredited investors from getting wiped out.

Public companies are restricted in the types of information they can release publicly to protect individual investors from fraud. Crypto boosters can say whatever they want, whenever they want, to convince people to invest.

With crypto and NFTs, someone making minimum wage could easily invest their entire savings into a completely unproven, early-stage technology and lose it all in a matter of hours.
Poll =/= Voting Results. Equating the two makes zero sense.
It sounds like they're just like everyone else then: in which case, even more users were vulnerable, and Apple has even more incentive to secure their system. Is there anything I'm missing here?

This is not Graeber's description of "goon"
Same. Give me the ability to hold fractional ownership of real-world assets (e.g., real estate, buildings, resources, etc.). I'm not interested in a 100% speculative concept without having real-world assets backing it up.
AFAIK in vanilla Android you have to use VPN if you want to block access to certain domain for all the apps.
Also it's in the interest of the Zionist state to identify 'Israel' with 'Jews'

If you're opposed to Zionism or the state of Israel, you shouldn't grant them that identification.

If you assume or assert that all Jews support Israel's settler-colonial project, you're also playing into the state of Israel's rhetorical strategies that conflate the survival and military supremacy of the Zionist state with Jewish safety, opposition of Zionism with hatred toward Jews, etc.

Failing to distinguish between the people group and the nation-state that claims to represent or serve them is not only rude or dehumanizing or sloppy in this case, but counterproductive for anti-Zionism as a cause. Anti-imperialism is not served by racism.
The sadly-deceased Mark Fisher wrote a piece called "Exiting the Vampire Castle" about at least a portion of this problem.

Essentially, you gain "cred" by publicly taking down a more powerful figure than yourself. It's the problem of diablerie in Vampire: The Masquerade in that, once accepted, you create a set of rewards and initiatives that foster a constant churn of figures eager to snipe at those above them, to drain them of their woke cred and get at least a little for yourself in an act called "critique." Of course, there's only so much blood/cred to go around so figures rise and fall as these very public lives are examined for any kind of transgression: "If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him." Twitter and Tumblr are not exactly structured for careful, nuanced thought and so produce an endless stream of hot takes which, when gone cold, can be mined for evidence.

And so the revolutionaries are declared counter-revolutionaries and come to be the next layer of corpses in the mass graves they have dug, Khmer Rouge style.
>To capture an image of the computer’s RAM, run EFDD on the computer on which the VeraCrypt disk is currently mounted.

This seems like a pointless exercise. If the disk is already decrypted and mounted, plus you have access to the computer, why not just... directly read the disk? Or initiate the decryption routine?
I never got the hate for NFTs. It seemed like the logic translation of collectibles from the phyiscal world into the digital world.

If an artist makes a painting, that original painting has collectible value. If the same artist makes copies of it, those copies have less value. That seems to make sense to most people.

Now imagine if an artist makes a digital painting. Is that work of art any less meaningful or valuable? Of course not. But there's been no way to define an "original" in the digital art form, and so there's been no way to assign collectability to digital works of art. NFTs seem to provide a way for an artist and fans to collectively agree that some digital object is the original, and to treat it as such.

The bonus is that it provides another avenue for digital artists to make money, which to my mind is always a good thing.

I get that the concept is hard to wrap our brains around, because at the end of the day it's a collective delusion. Everyone just agrees to say that some arbitrary string of bytes is the "original" and anything that comes after it isn't. But ultimately how is that different from the arbitrary rules we use to define which physical object is the "original" and why those arbitrary rules define value.

That said, I haven't looked too deeply into the technical side of NFTs, so this is more my take on the concept than the application. I'm sure there's slews of caveats, like how most NFTs only store a hash, the importance of exchanges, etc. And I totally agree that the market was in a huge bubble, so that's definitely worth criticizing (to an extent; I mean people can do whatever the hell they want with their money ultimately.)

Is there a flaw in my take here? Are NFTs somehow more arbitrary and asinine than other collectible markets simply because they're digital? Or is everyone hating because hating new technology is as cool as it has ever been? I suppose Dropbox did turn out to just be git+rsync, so shrug /s
> In seriousness though, banning cryptography [...]

I think, when they say "ban crypto", they mean "ban cryptocurrencies".

I, too, find it deeply unfortunate that some cryptocurrency nerds have suddenly decided that a term that has for a long time been used to refer to cryptography should now suddenly be understood to refer to cryptocurrencies excusively, but it's not the first time I witness this misunderstanding.

That's the question. How much makes it to the surface? Oil used to pop up everywhere before humans sucked up all the easy to reach surface sources. There's still a little that comes up from the ocean floor without any human help.

Anecdotally, I dropped out of officer selection once I realized I'd rather kick in doors than be a paper pusher. Didn't meet many officers I admired, I wanted to be an NCO even though it's a less privileged position. Then I blew stuff up for 4 years, came back to a wrecked economy, did odd jobs, failed to start two businesses, sold cars, and taught myself web development. I basically went through every failure mode before finding my "thing". Now I make six figures in cloud engineering, have a house, family etc. Long story short but the "blowing things up" part was pretty interesting and a formative experience for me (not that I'd do it again; I've come to believe we're not blowing up the correct things / people).

Sidewalk is a separate network that only allows encrypted links back to the AWS cloud. It should not be possible to interact with the host network without two malicious devices, one Trojan with access to the network already, and the other in control of the attacker.
