can you substantiate more here.. it reads like they made one good bet on Tencent and you suddently regard them as "the savviest and most forward-thinking players in tech investment ". have you looked at their other bets?
Yes. Functional world is not impervious to leaky abstractions.

I am personally of the opinion that, to be a good developer, you have to have mental model of what happens beneath. If you are programming in a high level language it is easy to try forget about the fact that your program runs on real hardware.

I know, because I work mostly on Java projects and trying to talk to Java developers about real hardware is useless.

I have an interview question where I ask "what prevents one process from dereferencing a pointer written out by another process on the same machine" and I get all sorts of funny answers and only 5-10% candidates even have beginning of understanding what is going on. Most don't know what virtual memory is or are surprised that two processes can resolve different values under same pointer.
Police love it. A smell is invisible and leaves no record; it's impossible for a defendant to dispute that an officer thought they "detected the smell of marijuana".
Interesting, didn't even know you can cut files from a zip in that Windows zip file viewer. I would have thought it's some read-only filesystem like viewing a mounted CD or so.

In that context I wonder if you could cut from rewritable CD-RWs as well back in the day (can't remember) - that seems like another abstraction that's similarly slow in reality.
I would be interesting only for performance reasons.
Stop using paypal. They neither pay or are your pal.
I'd really like to see/hear/read a breakdown of some of related issues from some experts.

Even on HN it's the same knee-jerk reactions every time one of these stories hit.

This is one of the most pressing technology issues of this moment and the discourse just sucks.

* Does banning ransom payments do anything? Good idea/bad idea? Historical analogues?

* Do we need to pay rewards to cyber privateers to take down cyber criminals?

* Is this an issue that can only be solved at the geopolitical level because of the role states play in enabling this activity?

* Will the hardening brought about by this eventually outpace the crappy attacker software?

* Is this a phase or the new reality?

* How much of this is enabled by technology vs the geopolitical situation?

Slack had to sell their new way of work. Microsoft just had to start turning off the components you already had.

A more real way to portray that market would be to show the 20 years of them fucking around with LCS/OCS/Skype for Business.

Even then, most teams deployments I’ve seen are Webex, iMessage and work cellphone displacements. The adoption of what people do with Slack isn’t there.

You won't even be able to get private insurance if the industry has to insure against complete destruction of a given business. Are you expecting the US gov to backstop every business regardless of size against ransomware? Who is going to pay for that?

Additionally, how do you protect against the obvious opportunities for fraud and abuse (business deliberately attacks itself to collect the insurance payout, business hits their competitors to drive them out of business, etc)?

>An intelligence service probably wanted to force this shutting down of Tor enter/exit nodes, so the percent of Tor enter/exit nodes were mostly the intelligence service. (For the best Doxing)

It's a nice conspiracy, although I'm not going to believe it unless there's more evidence corroborating it (ie. mass reports of people getting their paypal banned or increased churn in tor relay nodes).
The big problem for the Japanese at Midway was that they only had 4 carriers.

With 6 carriers, all of the the Japanese wouldn't have had to decide between protecting their carriers vs attacking US carriers vs attacking Midway. They could have done it all.

Heck, even one more carrier, for a total of 5, would have significantly reduced the task-overload.

That's why the original Japanese plan for Midway had 6 carriers. So, why didn't they follow the plan?

The answer is the Battle of Coral Sea, a month earlier.

While the US lost one carrier (Lexington) and almost lost Yorktown, one Japanese carrier was significantly damaged while another lost most of its aircrew.

Japanese doctrine at the time didn't transfer pilots between carriers, so Coral Sea took two carriers from Midway.

If the Japanese had transferred pilots from the damaged carrier to the carrier without an aircrew, the Japanese could have had 5 carriers.

Five carriers would have likely resulted in a Japanese win at Midway.

That said, the US would win the war in the Pacific as long as it sank a Japanese carrier for every 2-3 it lost.
Yes, philosophers love the mud. That's why they're philosophers.

Everything we call "science" is something that has been separated out, cleaned up, and polished. Darwin and Newton both considered themselves "philosophers", because they looked in the mud and took out a nice, separable piece of it.

What's left as "philosophy" is the mud, the stuff that we haven't taken away from the philosophy department by giving it a new name. We continue to take philosophy's successes: linguistics, economics, even cognitive science were originally done under the remit of a philosophy department.

You can't tell the serious work from the people just being self-indulgent until after the fact. Especially from the outside: a lot of the serious work looks ridiculous until it's successful. Getting to the point where you can tell requires more effort than most people are willing to put out -- which is fine, because it's not actually important whether you judge it well or not.

But in the interests of intellectual honesty, you'd do well not to judge a discipline with only a cursory understanding of it. And before you object to me describing your understanding as cursory, let me assure you that questions like "do we REALLY see the same color" are precisely not what real philosophy looks like. It's the same kind of red flag that "Can we use dark matter to go faster than light?" signals as not serious physics.
This hack is remarkable.

"Fun side story, one brand of 32GB eMMC has test pins on the underside that confuses the optical scanner for SMT parts placement, while another brand does not have the test pins. Since there is no easy way to mask the optical scanner of those test pins, a black permanent marker is a quick fix to blot them out so as not to confuse the scanner."
The fact that "old." still works is a pretty strong indication that the new redesign is to ensure new users will tolerate manipulation while retaining a large portion of the old users. Looking at the ratio of old/new site users is probably a very powerful analytics tool for predicting ad revenue for a given subreddit.
If they can just get the search to work properly I’d use it a lot more!
Thanks for editing to cite your sources. They seem to show a slight increase in energy usage since 2010. You must be using 2020 pandemic data as your comparison which is very misleading. But 2018 is the same as 2007, so I think it is fair to call energy usage flat.

But the entire point of the chart in my original comment is that even if members of the developed world are reducing energy usage and lowering carbon emissions (which is at best marginally true of the US), the rest of the world by definition is more than making up for it whether or not they are also using renewables as well.

> some things (like handing a file upload, or centering) that were, shockingly, still just as randomly difficult as they were in VBScript twenty years ago.

I don't get why the "centering is hard" trope is still being repeated in 2021.

As you correctly stated, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

By the way, you seem to be taking more than just "slight" issue with such a silly thing. Very pre-post-modern of you.
My understanding is that Python packages are directly installable via nix, at least some of them. This is a completely parallel way of installing packages from the regular way, which sucks, but at least it works in theory. I never personally tried it though.

Stack (Haskell) was awesome because it’s Nix aware, enabling it to create its own env to handle C deps on it’s own.

No, its mutually exclusive.

A SPAC can transform any private company into a public company.

They take VC backed companies public, they take newly formed pre-revenue companies public, they take previously public companies public, they merge with public companies, it does not matter.

Its just a reverse merger with a specific structure and formula.

To clarify- Kubernetes as typically configured has strong multitenancy for API access control. However, other aspects of multitenancy such as memory, CPU (including cross-container data leakage), network, disk/filesystem are implementation dependent. The most common implementations (i.e. on Linux with Docker or containerd) provide generally weak or no control over each of these aspects. Some (Kata Container, Firecracker) have stronger controls, and some (Windows Server Containers) have even fewer controls. But for complete separation, either separate worker node groups with very strict, limited API access or separate clusters are needed.

I'm still completely confused what the title they chose is supposed to mean. What's ending? They don't say. I scrolled through that whole page and if just looks like their normal release showcase.

Does this just mean that they're bumping up the version number to 3.0 with some big new core features? It sounds like something significant is coming to an end, like Blender isn't going to keep being Blender.
Imagine if they targeted TSMC or ASML ???.
Aside from the desire to impart chaos via these attacks.

There is definite economic attack damage incentive still in place.

In fact - if ransoms are banned - then it would seem that such types of attacks become more of a state sponsored attack to affect the economy of your enemy/competition

What if it were apple attacking FB or something like that. Surely we will see this in the future, just as originally foretold in Neuromancer.
Well, surely you just have a confederate add one, sell the exploit, then patch it. Do it three times and you’ve got a decade of funding. I’m sure you’ll get away that many times.

Not a bad idea, but there absolutely are regulatory gaps in disclosure. I don't think fixing those gaps would make a difference because investors don't care.
I'm with you. I've never had an active account on StackOverflow. I created an account once or twice after coming across a question where the "accepted" answer was incorrect, or where it was badly missing something about the big-picture, and I was appalled to find that they don't let new accounts answer questions -- you have to comment or upvote (or something?) before you gain the right to answer a question.

Fuck that. I'm not going to waste my time farming karma for the privilege of answer questions for complete strangers that I happen to know the answer to. The moderation on stackoverflow is a complete mess -- it reminds me of the powertripping that you see on Wikipedia, but maybe even worse because there's far less room for interpretation when most of the questions are technical in nature.
I suspect it changes the profile of who gets hit. Individual-level targets would get extorted for maybe a couple hundred bucks - sums that are reasonable to transact in iTunes cards or whatever. Those numbers are low both because it's what that category of target is willing/able to cough up financially, and what they were able to transact irreversibly. Conversely, your meat-packing CEO isn't going down to the corner store for $11m in phone credits, so it was less worth it to go for targets with deep pockets, that might be better-protected, instead of casting a wide net for a lot of easy small hits. The ability to irreversibly and kinda-anonymously transact large amounts definitely incentivizes going for institutional targets.
I think 2. can be ruled out. It’s hard to imagine a terrorist group doing this considering the risk of getting caught. Much easier just to drive a truck into a crowd or something.
The wizer approach to reducing JS interpreter startup time can't work with the iOS built-in interpreter.
Paper only. I also tried using more than one paper filter in the aeropress, but it did not help with the irritation.

Metal filter / no filter coffee usually is the most irritating, so I’m trying to aviod that.
I never tried cutting from CD-RW, but AFAIR each burning would append a non-trivial header (like 20MBs or so) so that would be a pretty expensive thing to do :)

AFAIR when you "copied" into CD-RW the files would show up semi-transparent (pending) and you'd have to click a button to process with burning. Probably same for cutting I guess.
Yep, simply start something like https://nullptr.com and continue on.
and as a parallel to modern industry standard infosec best practices, a good offsite/off-line backup system, disaster recovery program, tested backups/recovery methodology. A lot of the companies I've seen badly affected by a cryptolocker malware would have been equally in a dire situation if their head office/datacenter had burned down.
Because that doesn't give them any access to my internal network, which is the usual objection. If their device wants to talk to an arbitrary server on the public internet, why do I care, when it's all encapsulated in encrypted tunnels? Once the packets emerge from Amazon's server, they can't get back into my network.

Yes, this is using some of my bandwidth, but it's capped at 80kbps and 500MB/month, which seems like a pretty small gift to Amazon and the device manufactuere, assuming it even hits that, which it probably won't in most circumstances.
That only begins to make sense if it's actually modeled on the US Congress, with proportional representation in one chamber and specific representation of subdivisions in the other, but to have two chambers both with proportional representation, as California has, makes no sense.
The thing with a lot of server software (like postfix) is that configuration is usually spread across many files.

And then there is the re-use of things between services, for example DKIM’s generated public key should be made available as a TXT record by the DNS server, the SSL certificate kept up-to-date by the web server should be used by both the smtp and imap servers, though it may need to include the full chain, and services may need to be relaunched, if the certificate is updated, etc.

I was hoping to hear from someone who had managed to get a “full” server running (with SMTP, IMAP, DKIM, DNS, DNSSec, HTTPS via ACME, etc.), because while I know that I can output raw configuration files, it seems like an extremely daunting task to weave all this together in something semantically meaningful.

Right now I have /etc under git control and a Makefile that handles all dependencies between the various pieces (i.e. to ensure proper files are regenerated/indexed as needed, and services relaunched when dependencies are updated).
Depends on whether your JS is limited by interpreter / JIT startup time or throughput. If it's the former, then the wasm module with wizer might be significantly faster.
Martha’s Vineyard alone has a summer population of ~100k; from the Steamship Authority’s website (now unavailable):

> In 2018, the Steamship Authority's vessels made a total of 23,997 trips carrying 3,055,347 passengers, 483,047 automobiles and 190,557 trucks of all sizes to or from the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket

The ferry is the only connection from MV to the mainland for food, supplies, etc. (There’s also a small airport, but it isn’t big enough to handle any significant amount of cargo). So it’s a pretty big issue for the people living there. That being said, as long as the boats can still operate, it shouldn’t be too big an issue, even if they have issues with ticketing.

I recall he said he upvoted something like all answers that were nor spam. Since, people are trying to help for no benefit to themselves, so why wouldn't you at least give them that?
Well, the EU is pretty heterogeneous, so I would expect different politicians saying and wanting different things. Still seems like its worth it, though, on an economical level at least.

England, for example, did only join the EU back then for economical reasons. Them leaving the EU now doesn't seem like an economical win (and it was probably not an decision made based on economics, I guess).

So I agree that

> Germany is a very likely benefactor from all of this.

but I would argue that all countries in the EU are.

> Because let's call it what it is - it's a redistribution of wealth into the power centers of EU obscured by lies (...)

Which lies do you mean, for example?

> (...) and insane amounts of bureaucracy.

Well yeah. But if the EU would not manage these things, each country would have to manage them with each of the other countries, leading to much much more bureaucracy.
if only the last command is used it should be an error to have more than one. dropping things silently is super confusing.

Yup, lightweight, high-powered gasoline engine, powering a generator, the output hooks into the regular battery and ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) loop. All the rest of the control is the same

The benefit is the energy density of petrol is ~2500Wh/kg, vs about 250Wh/kg for Li-Ion batteries. This is significantly offset by the weight of the ICE engine & generator, but it is still enough to get very good flight times. It is enough to do using selected off-the-shelf components, but to get really outstanding results, everything needs to be optimized for excellent power-weight ratios.

Two big ones in that space, going back-&-forth and beating each others' records are:

Quaternium:

And yes, at least the units we built had significant batteries in the loop. The main purpose was to be able to land if the ICE engine/generator failed, but also could be used for a less-noisy mode ("quiet mode" is a bit much for most multirotors, as the rotors themselves are quite noisy).
