I suspect it was just not a sustainable program from a revenue perspective for either school and has the risk to lower the schools reputation and suck away resources.

2U is one of the biggest for-profit higher education companies and seemingly one of the most successful ones, often partnering with other colleges and universities.

I am suspicious of any of the for-profits being able to sustain a business. Most end up failing because, as it ends up, education is not very profitable if done correctly.

The way you're wording this suggests that this was a sensible design prior to this vulnerability, but in fact all sorts of tools, config, etc work within a project but not across projects, including IAM. Yes obviously anything can be duplicated but it's a big pain.

Probably easier to create separate subnets for VMs that don't trust each other ?

This is not like Universal 2 on Apple's transition, where you can have x64 and ARM versions of the program in the same binary (a "fat" binary). In Universal 2, the app runs as either 100% Intel or 100% ARM, depending on platform.

Instead, what ARM64EC is, is that you can put some ARM code inside a normally x64 binary and ship that to ARM customers like Surface Pro X users. ARM64EC doesn't run on Intel. It's just meant to speed up the porting effort of Intel programs to ARM because you don't need to make everything ARM, just some of it, to go. The Intel bits will be translated using Microsoft's slower-than-Rosetta-2-on-already-slow-hardware translator.

How many people will use this? Considering how successful Windows on ARM has been, coupled with how apathetic most Windows developers are... I give it a low chance, but who knows?
One of the news among many for which I don't give a damn
Unless there is a leap second scheduled on short notice or you install the updated tz database rather late. For astronomical events or long term measurements (think CERN) there is astronomical time, which does not add leap seconds.

But if you want to have precise date time far in the future you must not use UTC based milliseconds representations unless you want to check for necessary database migrations every time the time zone definitions change.
Here in India, I can make transfers via UPI for free. For larger amounts, I can use IMPS which costs INR 5 ($0.067). Both are instant and have highly usable apps from trustworthy providers.
> I absolutely hate how eating at a restaurant is seen by many as an event where you hang out forever, as opposed to a routine service I expect as a fairly quick and formulaic pitstop between other obligations.

Cultural difference. If you don't want to spend time with your friends then don't accept invitations of going to a restaurant.
I've no idea what it refers to either, but pigeon owners take great pleasure and enjoyment breeding and training them. Perhaps that's what they refer to regarding how they have impacted the lives of humans?

I cannot speak for pigeons as I am a human, but if I was fed, watered, had a comfortable home, often with radio or TV, high quality medical care, and in return I fly a few times a week? Sign me up!

They are breed for the purpose of flight (or sometimes looks). They cannot be "left alone" as they're not quite the same as feral pigeons.

There is absolutely no shame in keeping pigeons, caring for them, and racing them.
You can talk to a human, you cannot do that with a machine. Even with those that emulate conversation. It lacks reason.

> I suspect the successor to the Qualcomm 8cx Gen 2 will integrate X2 cores, which should give the M1 a run for its money.

And by that time I guess M2 will drop... As much as I dislike Apple's walled garden, I'm having hard time finding a reason to choose Windows on ARM over it.
"No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one state, be obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in another." Some irrelevant documentation left by legacy government programmers.

For work projects - no, haven't in many years, since 2016 iirc. For personal projects - yes - I have plenty of hardware resources to spare so it costs as much as the electricity needed to run them(which they do regardless). That said, backup dumps go to a gcp bucket since it's far less likely to fail then one or two drives shoved in the basement and storage itself is incredibly cheap. Besides personal projects in my case are not a source of income so cutting costs as much as possible is the sensible thing to do.
This may come across as naive, but it's my personal policy: be honest. Especially if you want to keep the job. A "web of lies" is difficult to maintain and only adds stress to an already stressful situation.

If it lands them in unemployment it was likely inevitable in the short term anyway.

As soon as "that feeling" starts, best to keep up with the local job market and be ready to fire off job applications at a moments notice, especially if the money is needed.

As regards to maintaining output in mundane work, I think churn is just 'the cost of doing business'. There's always new as-yet-un-jaded graduates making their way into the jobs market.
Why would someone comment out authentication for reset? I mean, what possible reason is there for doing so? It doesn't make security any better and it's not something which impacts day-to-day performance in any way.

They are basically graduate certificates, which are a normal university thing. You take 3-5 graduate courses, they give you a certificate saying that you did this, you give them money. Not a full blown masters, thus the micromasters branding, but it can open the door to changing a career or entering a specialization.
There was no perimeter security here

...yet MongoDB's (default) configuration assumes there is. That's the big problem with perimeter security: applications offloading their security responsibility to other, possibly imaginary, parts of the system.

Countries which have more censorship tend to end up being less desirable places to live than places with less censorship, and I dare say that a country with no censorship at all would be better than a country where the government has complete control over all media (even if both of those scenarios would be worse than the average liberal democracy).
(note: we use MySQL on RDS, but the docs for PG seem to be similiar enough)

Minor versions you can tell it a day and rough timeslot (few hours) for it to apply them. Major version upgrades always require you to start them, and the docs lay out prep work to do before hand (check for incompatibilities, setup any custom config before hand, take a backup/snapshot, do dry run)

One of the things I love with RDS is that last bit, doing a dry run with a clone of the database is fairly easy (can't say what it's like at the TB level of data, probably not as easy/quick) to test.
I'm not sure whether you are asking whether people use Database-as-a-service instead of installing the DB themselves or whether you are asking about on-premise vs cloud Infrastructure-as-a-service.

As many have noted, DaaS is very convenient but not always completely flexible with configuration and the pricing is not comparable since there is usually a minimum price even if you only want 1 table with 10 rows so it won't scale in the same way.

For all of my home and work projects, we have servers hosted on the cloud to get better internet bandwidth and we install and run our own SQL Server and MySQL instances. A bare Vm is pretty cheap on the cloud and installing databases is fairly easy, although I have never personally setup clustering or failover in MySQL or SQL Server, I think that is quite involved.
Really interesting company! From the article:

> Facit Homes is a relatively small builder - they build fewer than 10 homes a year, all of them custom. And though they’re using advanced manufacturing techniques, they don’t seem especially interested in any sort of mass production.

I’m wondering if this is true? Or do you think starting high end and super custom might lead to bigger scale?
> No one should be asking you to hire someone simply because they’re of a different skin color.

this is very much what is happening. There are quotas that need to be filled, and it is tied to performance numbers too.

How much of this now-banned travel is by ship? It's not like the founders didn't know about overland travel to make sure it was included if they wanted to. The way the courts have interpreted it matters. Tossing it out without that context is meaningless.
I love that it doesn't work. I don't get the purpose. Why not do something constructive in the meantime?

Setting up any KPI will reward those that optimize for them. Other workers need to emulate that behavior, which makes their work insufferable. You won't see medium to long term advantage from this.

Define what you need to produce and check if you meet targets. Don't surveil people, it is a waste of time.

Kind of. eth.link breaks the chicken and egg problem. Early adopters can stand up visible pages this way and provide signal to browsers for future inclusion by default.
Wireguard based solutions get all the attention these days, but I really love working with Nebula. It's dead simple to set up and the mobile client works well.

That said, Nebula feels way less popular, and I don't know if it's had a third party security audit. WG's popularity means it should presumably have had a lot of attention given to both its architecture and its code. This is one area where using a "niche" solution feels somewhat risky.
These are all just spinning food products around or on a heat source, sounds like we could just abstract and reuse that module without coding up a behavior for each 'new' cooking technique.

From 2U's press release [https://2u.com/latest/industry-redefining-combination/] it's clear that they benefit significantly from associating themselves with the MIT, Harvard, and EdX brands. At $800M, I assume they have a well-planned monetization strategy for EdX.

My personal experience with EdX over the years is mixed. I audited a few EdX courses (CS50, Linear Algebra) and generally enjoyed the quality and pace of the courses, but was never compelled to purchase a verified certificate since these were more for leisure. I recall hitting up against the paywall and losing access to the exams. Although, I understand the need to monetize, it was a bit demoralizing.

Overall, I feel EdX helped define massively open online education and I hope they continue to support this mission in the future.

> “we think you haven't been performing as well as you used to lately”

Also make sure to qualify this with actual examples of underperformance:

“In March you gave a three-week estimate for roadmap item X, but it wasn’t completed until June. Amy from team Y reached out to me several times with questions about its status, so communication hasn’t been up to your usual standard.”

If the manager doesn’t give the report something concrete to reflect on, they will only create more vague angst and frustration that will accelerate that person’s exit plans.
Agreed, technology doesn't need to be everywhere. Id be happy with a couple of chalk boards that can be moved around.
I would disagree about the difference that culture makes to psychology. I've travelled a bit, and people in other cultures behave differently, and think differently about the world. I don't think we can talk blandly about "human psychology", let alone "evolutionary psychology".

This is a known problem in Psychology as a field, I gather. Because of the ready availability of psychology students, the field tends to study the psychology of western educated affluent 20-somethings. The arrogance of then saying "everyone is like this" is typical ;)
Why do the IDs make it more credible? Can’t they say they’ve verified the IDs then blur them. Are they not making these people targets?

ARM64EC is so that you can ship a semi-ARM version of your app without having to do a full ARM port. You still need to ship two versions of your app - you can't create a binary that runs on x64 and ARM like Apple's Universal 2.
I have no problem with people accessing my data, but only so long as it's people who have a valid reason to access that data. In the case of LinkedIn, I don't mind my connections, coworkers, and (reluctantly) recruiters seeing what's on my resume. I do mind a random hacker accessing that information, selling it to anyone who'll buy, and those people then using that data for things that probably aren't related to offering me employment.
Absolutely.

Thanks for the suggestion of TiDB, haven't previously considered this but it looks interesting, will take a closer look.
Are these details publicly-available for the scraping though?

I'd be suspicious it was an employee with internal access to the data or someone who had hacked such an employee's computer. Of course they wouldn't admit such criminal act and risk getting caught, they'd claim a route anyone could use.
Thsts not problem It is not that project zero is strict,

The researcher here allowed 9 months for them to fix. Should he have disclosed after 90 days ? Clearly google didn't use the time to fix.

It looks bad when you have a hard policy to disclose but not to fix
Wait, restaurants are making you order from an app too?? So now you don't really need your 'exhausted wait staff' so much. Hire less wait staff as a portion are now are underutilized. Now some wait staff have no jobs, and the remainder work the same exhausting shifts. The reason these wait staff get tips is because they work so hard, with less service comes less tips. Now you have a whole industry of overworked AND underpaid staff.

Any efficiencies you are seeing will be refactored and stretched out as any business cannot afford to carry fat if they want maximum profit and competitive edge (price).

This whole inconvenience of a friend going to the bathroom is an incredibly weak argument for foregoing the tradition and ceremony of interacting with a person who will provide you with a meal. If you want to live in a McWorld where every step of your dining experience is as sterile, efficient, and touch free as possible then I am sad for you. That's not what a meal with friends and family means to me, it's not just about eating for sustenance.

Why do you draw the line at taking payment?
Either way, a time wasn't spent to iterate on the design until it was good. Designers are good, but they make mistakes too.
I'm not going to mince words: NeRF is rubbish compared to traditional photogrammetry.

> NeRF is the SotA method for these novel view synthesis benchmarks

That's an interesting statement; uh, I don't know what 'novel view synthesis benchmarks' you're referring to, but the parent post didn't mention them, and like me, probably doesn't care what they are.

If the state of the art is an 800x800 pixel image... uh, well, bluntly, that's really very unimpressive.

> Compared to that, I find "AI rendering" which is blurry and much slower (15fps @ 800px) somewhat underwhelming.

^ This.

It's very much a 'watch this space' technology, because it does have some really interesting and promising features, and it's changing quickly, but I think finding it 'somewhat underwhelming' is a pretty fair response.

One benefit of them is reduction is paper waste. If a restaurant needs to update its menu, it doesn’t need to do a reprint, it can just update the website.
I used WordPress as my datastore for a while on personal projects. I could wrestle it mostly into shape and use the built-in rest api. WP is my day job so I know it well and like it, but I'm not a backender, so it was a bit clunky and time consuming to get things the way I wanted.

Then I needed to host that WP instance somewhere. That was also a pain.

I decided last year to try and use Node/Express/Mongo for my backend instead and stay fully in JS land. But now I need to host a Mongo db. Instead of that, I tried Atlas for hosted mongo, but ....it feels like it's from corporate America circa 2004.

Then came Supabase.

I randomly came across it, gave it a try, and it's heaven. It's absolutely dead simple to get working (for my simple needs). It can work as a regular DB or as a realtime thing like Firebase.

Strongly recommend trying Supabase.
>I enjoy watching Apple's keynotes with the presenters delivering extremely polished and scripted rundowns of each new product and feature;

It probably helps that they also show the features at more than 12fps. The demos of Windows features made them look janky.

Windows 11 doesn't run on any device with a screen smaller than 9", according to the Minimum System Requirements.

Can you brute-force it? Yes. Mobile devices? Maybe the tablet market, but Apple has that market owned in the US for premium tablets, and Microsoft's closest competitor is a more expensive and much slower device called a Surface Pro X, or a Surface Pro 7 with Intel even though the tablet experience on that thing is pretty abysmal. It's a much better laptop than tablet software-wise.

Sure you must always put some levels of trust in 3rd parties. What level of trust is the important question. Ideally, you distribute that trust among several actors so a single compromise is not too much of a deal.

That's why you use different hardware vendors for your routers and servers, another vendor for your network connectivity, and yet other vendors for your software. This way, MiTM is mitigated by TLS (or equivalent) and server compromise is mitigated by a good firewall and network inspection stack. Placing all your eggs in a single Google basket is giving a lot of power to a single "don't be evil" corporation, who may get hacked or compelled by law enforcement to spy on you and your clients.
Confidential computing (Intel SGX, ARM TrustZone, AMD SEV-SNP) handle this by encrypting the virtual machine memory so that even having full root on the host does not expose vm compute or memory.

There are plenty of ways to do zero trust networking, a slick commercial implementation is https://tailscale.com/, which you can totally use in the cloud for secure node to node comms if you're worried about those things.

Yes it is, especially when based on a single data point.
Maybe you are simply unfamiliar with history, but at the time his views and speeches _were_ suppressed by mainstream media. Even when he was so famous that this tactic did nothing to prevent people from hearing his message the media at the time (and to this day in some cases) highlighted the parts of the message that dealt with racial injustice as a means of hiding the bits that attacked capitalism and poverty created by America's economic choices.
I completely agree and didn't mean to suggest it wasn't a serious vulnerability: as I understand it this attack means that if any VM in the subnet is compromised that can be leveraged in to an attack on any VM in the subnet so your attack surface has suddenly gotten a lot bigger and your isolation between VMs substantially poorer.
This attack allows an adversary to move from root permissions on one VM in a GCP project to gaining root permissions on another VM in the same project.

The attack is unlikely to succeed unless the attacker knows the exact time a particular VM was last rebooted, or can cause a reboot.

Overall, this attack alone probably won't be the reason you will have to start filling in a GDPR notification to your users...

Insist on talking only about the "what" and make the "how" a non-negotiable? That doesn't tend to fly when you're a techie in a tech-environment with a manager who usually has a tech background -- typically 10 years in the past, but not stopping them from thinking that they know the day-to-day better than the people who actually do the day-to-day.

Now being a techie in a non-tech environment is different (see other subthread).
By all means, but then are assuming that your suppliers are a threat? Did you check every chip on the motherboard that comes im, verify the firmware and bios on all components, including firmware of webcams and SSD's? Who inspected source code of evrry driver? Did you vet every employee and what did you do about Intel Management engine?

All these measures are not feasible unless you are working in national security or a Megacorp, and insisting on one of them, while ignoring others, is daft
