Adding a spinner is just putting lipstick on the bloat. Progressively loading a page can at least hide the bloat from the end user.

A page of text should just be a page of text. That's the beauty in sites like hackernews and craigslist. They are down-and-dirty, just-the-facts, we'll-get-out-of-your-way websites.

You see bloat when you start adding stuff that obscures that core functionality and/or slows down/degrades the experience.

Of course, the core functionality changes depending on who you are. The customer might just want to read the article, but the sales team wants to get you to see/click on ads and the marketing team wants you to signup for their newsletter. So, one person's bloat is another person's core functionality.
> but then ask you not to look in the `Taxes` folder on the desktop should it be a felony for you to open the `Taxes` folder? That conceptually feels wrong to me. I have violated your trust, sure, but I haven't committed fraud

You accessed privileged information that you were explicitly not allowed. To me, asking you not to look at certain information is effectively the same as putting a password on it, then having you break it. In both cases, the intent of the owner is clear: do not access these files. And in both cases, the actions of the perpetrator very clearly disregard the owners intent.

Your example about accessing a website is not the same. It's pretty clear that the person going to new.ycombinator.com is not stealing or accessing privileged information. There have been separate rulings dealing with whether or not employees can use corporate equipment for personal reasons.

A more analogous example to the case at hand would be an employee at Google/Humana/Tinder selling your private details to a third party. This ruling means that such activity is perfectly legal, even if the terms of their employment state the opposite.

Unless, of course, the only reason the court ruled in favor of this person was that they are a police officer. But I guess we have to wait until the FBI attempts to press charges against someone at Google selling personal details to third parties to find out.
If one develops a rhetorical superweapon, they should expect it to be used against them eventually.

It's hard to feel any sympathy when that chicken comes home to roost.

I don't run any third party apps either. But I like that I am welcome to do so. In the past I have installed apps from third party developers that I trust and am the better for it.
You don't need to know anything about the characters here to understand the satire.

"Although widely believed to conflict in every way with the rule of law, violent insurrection can be an effective approach to upholding the principle of limited government."

People who believe in limited government believe in the rule of law. Violent insurrection is pointed out to be in conflict with the rule of law, and at the same time held up to be a principle of limited government. Brilliant satire.

"when the Supreme Court refuses to exercise its Article III authority to overturn the results of a free and fair election, calling on a violent mob to storm the Capitol represents an appropriate alternative remedy."

When would a violent mob ever be an appropriate alternative remedy to a free and fair election? The people who actually believe a violent mob is an appropriate remedy would never call the election "free and fair". They believe it was "rigged and stolen". This is what makes this piece satirical; it's making the case from the opposition's point of view while simultaneously refuting itself. Poe's law does not apply. You don't need smiles and winkey faces or a /s to know this is satire.
If you assume that 500A is the largest cable that a user can handle[0], then 2kV per megawatt. If you don't mind actively cooling the part of the cable the user handles, then you could run at higher currents for the same cable size.

The biggest problem likely will be the much higher demand charges from the power company (they really don't like sudden large loads), so the charging station will likely need a large battery pack of its own.

[0]: You want injured/elderly people to be able to charge without assistance so cable weight/stiffness is a important design factor.

> Is there some zero day that's getting out and causing a lot of these recent ransomware attacks?

Unfortunately, the answer is largely no. Phishing emails containing malicious documents, now sometimes accompanied by call center operators priming the victims or walking them through the process of infecting themselves, are to blame for a large number of ransomware attacks. Exploitation of recent vulnerabilities (i.e. a handful of CVEs from 2020 affecting VPN devices) is also often used for initial entry, as well as plain old bruteforcing RDP servers and the like. Some groups have begun to invest in in-house vulnerability research teams but I have not seen much come from that as of yet, aside from implementation of exploits for existing CVEs.

> but on the other hand how are these networks and computers actually getting compromised with what appears to be such speed and ease?

The scale and architecture of some of the larger cybercriminal groups responsible for many of these attacks parallel your typical silicon valley startup. One of the larger groups has dozens of employees across a range of different focus areas/departments from malware development, infrastructure management, crypting services, redteam operators, ransomware negotiators, layers of management, etc. These groups work with other affiliate groups which only accelerates the process from initial infection to ransomware deployment, with affiliate groups that blast out malspam broadly as well as to curated target lists often responsible for supplying the steady flow of infections to malware-as-a-service platforms that provide the ability to view and manage bots to yet another set of groups that drop secondary payloads like Cobalt Strike and begin the process of lateral movement towards the domain controller so the final ransomware payload can be deployed. These groups have employee handbooks, training videos, slack-like chat services, Gitlab instances with dozens of projects, CRM-like tools for victim management, and even (in at least one case I'm aware of) physical offices in Russia.

I think you're right. I could see a future where the charge station ends up just swapping batteries with you (kinda like the way propane tanks work in some places). Give them your used one and they give you a charged one. Adjust for power left on the trade-in and quick quality checks and validations on the units being swapped.

> Look at what happened to Sinead O'Connor in the early 90s after she spoke out against child abuse in the Catholic church.

I don't think this is an apt comparison at all.

1. Sinead O'Connor is a celebrity, celebrities have always had more scrutiny. It doesn't seem comparable to the random employees getting fired / random HS students losing their college offers that are happening today.

2. She did not just speak out against child abuse, she held up a photo of the pope on national TV while singing "evil", and then tore it up. This was obviously an act intended to be very public and very controversial.

3. What actually happened to her other than some angry editorials? Were her performances canceled by venues?
Unless the idle hyperthreads are on different cores, you'd most likely have the same execution results. Using idle cores could be interesting, but your thermal and power budget would be shared so your overall performance would still decrease.

This is probably difficult to do at a fine grained level, but I imagine that coarser synchronization and checks (both in software) could provide the necessary assurances that code executing on a single core is consistent with that of other cores.
To throw my hat into the ring: I've found the best "runnable jobs" / "digraph of jobs" system I've ever used to be Gitlabs built in CI system. The UI is nice, it's got tight integration into our existing code workflows meaning there's a close-but-not-too-close association between code and jobs meaning it's easy to say that "the code and the jobs running that code live 'in the same place'" if you want that, and it still provides all the pipeline features you'd want if you want to use your CI/jobs as a cornerstone of your infra; features like the ability to schedule pipelines, to trigger pipelines via other pipelines, remote triggering of pipelines via cURL request, pipeline DAGs for a 'make-like' build experience, etc.

I've absolutely loved using Gitlab CI for the last several years, and I highly recommend it.

Nix is the only OS I've used where the standard installation instructions available in, say, the READMEs of things I want to install are a bad idea.

Would be interesting to see whether insurers with higher market share become less likely to cover ransom payments compared with smaller players —- the idea being that payments finance and incentivize future attacks, and insurers with higher market share are more likely to be on the hook for those.

For the requisite car analogy: one is like a mechanic taking your car for a joyride after you give them the key, the other is a stranger taking it for a joyride after breaking in and stealing it out of your driveway.

One of them is misusing a car that you gave them access to, the other one is stealing it.

This quietly, but I think significantly, changes the considerations for IAM and similar access controls.

In the wild, these always trend towards overly permissive. Almost every company, tech or not, mature or not, deals with this.

Gotta say you're completely ignoring the negative toll this takes on morale. I hate unrealistic timelines, and I've been on almost every side of the table (engineer, engineering manager, product manager, program manager, even CEO for a tiny startup). Internally, only the most junior engineers tend to believe the timelines for these ambitious R&D projects. And it leads to senior engineers just getting tired of endless politicking around hype instead of actually focusing on building the thing and being honest about when it will be ready. To be a little less professional - the timelines are usually fucking bullshit.

I've quit before because of this very reason. You're allowed to disagree with me obviously, but I don't want to work with you if you honestly believe this is a good policy.
Exactly. I'm a Jew (by heritage, though not by belief). I oppose Israel's actions WRT Palestine and related issues. The Israeli government seems to have that "insatiable appetite for war", but that's a pretty small subset of all Jews. Even the entire Israeli population is a small subset of all Jews.

In my area (mid-Atlantic), that already seems to be Tesla's modus operandi for Supercharger placement. In developed suburban areas, they're placed somewhere in a multi-use development / shopping center complex with at least a coffee shop, but more frequently a restaurant or two nearby. In rural areas they're typically co-located with a 24/7 gas station that has at least basic food service capabilities, or 'travel plaza' type development with a small assortment of convenience-type food vendors.
Neat. What if we're using dbt Cloud?
We've built a couple of saas businesses without any investment, as complete unknowns. It's doable, and today it's easier than it has ever been. You can go from 0 to revenue in less than 6 months. The big problem is that there is a ton of software out there, including free software, and people will only pay if your product is much better in some way that actually matters. If you only give yourself a few months to build a product you can only build a couple of features, so those features better be really good.
So for the next 50 years they couldn't get an ID? You're argument is ridiculous.
> if we assume some other system takes care of documenting that the NFT was in fact created by the owner

What other system are you talking about? I could determine that you control the NFT of a digital work by observing the artist's statement of issuance and your message demonstrating control of the NFT on the blockchain. Determining the validity of the artist's statement of issuance could be done using public-key cryptography. I fail to see what additional system is necessary.
Crypto for International Trade
There have been lots of ideas about blockchain being used for things like shipping order management or for managing port authority software etc, but I think crypto has a much more radical use case as a global currency for trade.

At Bretton Woods, John Maynard Keynes proposed an international currency called the bancor in which all global trade would be settled. The settlement would itself take place via an International Clearing Union in which all countries would have an ownership stake. He predicted that a world in which trade takes place across multiple currencies would lead to national economic imbalances forcing themselves onto other countries. Today, we have countries like Germany and China running enormous trade surpluses that are forcibly absorbed by the US and few others running deficits. This summary is an oversimplification obviously.

Keynes' idea relied on the international order agreeing to it (which they didn't) and putting their weight behind it to guarantee the currency. I think ethereum now offers the ability to build this in a decentralized way. The trade currency would take the shape of tokens while the clearing union could be run via smart contracts. The challenge will be driving adoption.

I talk a good game (sometimes) but I'm not an engineer. I'm looking to see whether any developer out there might be interested in this kind of idea and might want to discuss how it could be realized.

If so, would love to connect via email at richardpickering19@gmail.com.

If you think this idea sucks, then let me know why.

Thanks a lot!
Well, that ignores the part where I agree with the textual reading and interpretation of the majority.

I think the majority opinion is also the more accurate plain reading of the law. So, from my perspective, no bailing out is necessary. The gut check and the plain reading both seem to align.
The real goal was to increase the number of people who have with crypto wallets and become crypto advocates to their circles, so there is less friction for the next crypto-based products.

You are conflating collective blame with collective punishment, which not an unrelated term.
