>If you compare year over year, many of the things they attribute to the breach are actually just IT/overhead costs they were able to shift to a loss.

No, it's not. Read the 10-K. It includes pages upon pages of the breach-related expenditures, including hundreds of millions of dollars spent on extra stuff like credit monitoring, legal fees, and professional services costs. That's not "just IT/overhead costs".

Just because a company was planning to spend $400 million anyway doesn't mean that having to spend that $400 million on breach-related expenses is no impact. The budget doesn't just come out of thin air, it gets allocated from other places. Spending $400 million on breach-related expenses means not spending that $400 million on something else like product development, research, marketing, or other company initiatives. The impact is enormous.

>In the grand scheme of things, it really isn't a huge impact to them.

You have no clue how businesses work if you seriously think that an additional, unexpected $400 million in expenses (almost 50% of their yearly net profits) "isn't a huge impact to them". That's really all that has to be said here.

I agree, I observed my 3 year old often and he is more creative by applying his imagination. He tends to lose interest in building it himself he see something better than what he created. When I am helping him color and I color it precisely he just lose interest in coloring and say color it please you are better. If I don't help him at all he will finish the whole piece and even be proud of it. Now I color just like him so he will not lose interest during the coloring.

On one hand, JFC... on the other hand, at least they noticed, notified and rotated the keys. So many companies are like "oh, we didn't expose it to anyone, so we don't need to roll them".

They then proceed to break their arm patting themselves on their back for avoiding catastrophe.

I also do 1 gallon at a time and microwave it to get it up to temperature. This takes about 20min from fridge to desired temperature.
After fermenting in my instant pot, I pour it into a fine mesh strainer on top of a large food container and put it in the fridge. The container is for the whey to collect in. This turns it into Greek yogurt.

This analogy kind of rubs me the wrong way.

The whole point of knowledge work is that you are doing things that have not been done before. If they had, they would already be scaled or automated. In a chef analogy, you should be inventing new dishes, not running a meal service.

A chef running a meal service is supposed to cook a meal for every order that comes back to the kitchen. A knowledge worker is not supposed to handle every little request that comes their way. As a knowledge worker, if you’re not disappointing some people, you are probably not doing your best.

If you are overwhelmed with tasks as a knowledge worker, the solution is not to seek greater efficiency in handling them. The solution is to do incredible work on the ones that actually matter, and half-ass or ignore the rest. If you’re not sure which is which, finding out is job #1.

People who efficiently do everything they are asked are rewarded with more asks. People who do great high-impact work are not held back because they dropped some emails along the way.

I’m not saying it’s bad to be efficient at processing email and tracking requests, I’m just saying it probably matters less than many people think, and almost certainly less than this article implies.

This advice is incorrect from a security perspective.

> While many offer this, no one tracks them, and they can’t be limited to just the app (because, again, the protocols don’t work this way). So if your account gets compromised and you have 50 passwords, what do you do besides delete all 50 passwords and start over? Delete them one at a time and see how long it takes for spam to stop going out from your account? Reduce server security and log which password is being used (because that’s the only way to gain that insight from the universal protocols)?

1. Give the passwords names that identify the client app
2. Track that name / login / actions - it's not less secure to track browser type on the web, the equivalent is what's happening here (that's iPhone1, thunderbird on my mac, ...)
3. Present this information to the account user. I should have access to the logs of who's accessing my data.
4. If your account has 50 passwords, it has 50 clients that you have to delete and start over on. Same as if you'd used a single password on all 50 clients.
Consumer demand ceased to be primarily based on natural demand a long time ago. Pervasive marketing and advertising have successfully manufactured demand, by manipulation and creating a consumer fear of missing out on the latest and greatest shiny gadget.

Breaking out of that pattern is borderline impossible. All because corporations only care about profit.

Research into environmental impacts has been held back (and still is!) by corporate interests, because it's "bad for business" if consumers are too well informed.

How can you make informed choices, when the information is censored and held back?

Plus, "vote with your wallet" only works on a small scale. Regulation of gross polluters is what's actually needed to make real change.
As for default Windows Defender, there isn't really good reporting tools related to it. There are reporting tools for Defender, but those are paid license add-ons.

And yeah there's a decent chance if the US went to war with another country it might not impact the majority of US businesses very directly especially in the short term IRT their IT plans. McDonald's kept selling burgers when we invaded Iraq (multiple times). Ford was still producing vehicles during WWII. There have been lots of military engagements the US has been involved in where things in the mainland US weren't massively affected in day to day operations. Who knows what some potential future war with Russia would look like. Would it be a true head to head war with tanks rolling, fighter jets scrambling, cities bombed? Would it be more skirmishes testing how far the other would really go? Would it just be escalation of supply chain attacks and attacks on infrastructure to weaken the other? Of course this greatly varies based on the specifics on what that potential future war looks like, it would be naïve to think wars will always look like WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc from a US mainland perspective.

Article conveniently ignores the adverse inference angle, which is the most damning. Let’s wait until we see what was actually going on in the lab.
Ok that is a valid truth, however the growth mindset embedded in the sentence "I can become good at anything." is not that.

Its that maybe you can't become the fastest man on earth. That guy exists, his name is Usain Bolt. However, you can for sure get good at sprinting, even if you are missing parts of your legs. That guy is Oscar Pistorious. Maybe you have COPD and you can't? Well, you might need to adjust "good" to be a winnable opportunity in your capabilities. Maybe this is walking to the mailbox. If you couldn't walk to the mailbox last week, I'd call that "good".

Here is the opportunity for the emotional part you mentioned to arise, so yeah, I agree.

Emotions, sure. You can become good at managing your emotions. You can become good at navigating and integrating the superstructure of society into positive outcomes in your own life. You can become good at public speaking and swimming and programming.

You likely will not be able to become the best in the world at anything at all, but you can become good at anything.

You clearly have no clue how it looks inside the board rooms and executive offices of some of these huge companies. This type of stuff is treated the exact same way as if a 400m building burns down.

define: impact

2) have a strong effect on someone or something.

My point still stands... If a company can weather the storm, there is no long term impact. If you look at equifaxes breach, it hasn't depressed their revenue. They haven't had to massively changed how they operate or had to pivot into new businesses. Over the long term, it has had very little effect on the company long term, which is my entire point.
Lots of resources from permaculture and regenerative agriculture. Look up “perennial food forest” sometime.

Permaculture draws a lot from indigenous practices, and those are other entry points for research.

There is probably a permaculture guild in your local area. Show up and tell them what you want to try in your backyard. They’ll probably know a lot about the local, native species and plant conditions.

“ At a summit in Geneva last month, US President Joe Biden said he told Russian President Vladimir Putin he had a responsibility to rein in such cyber-attacks.”

I don’t understand how Putin can stop these attacks unless he is personally responsible for them.

Imagine someone in the US hacking systems in Russia or China. How in the hell Biden would know who did that and stop them?

The naivety of US government is just astonishing. I’m sure Putin just laughs when he hears such accusations.

We can’t stop these attacks by asking people not to exploit the systems. We can only stop then by building more secure systems and improving the processes within organizations.

> × (U+D7) for multiplication

Blech; looks like a letter and normalizes cross products. Better to use "·" (U+B7)[0]:

alpha = [ cψ·cϕ−cθ·sϕ·sψ, cψ·sϕ+cθ·cϕ·sψ, sψ·sθ;
−sψ·cϕ−cθ·sϕ·cψ, −sψ·sϕ+cθ·cϕ·cψ, cψ·sθ;
sθ·sϕ, −sθ·cϕ, cθ];

Minus sign is a nice-to-have, though.

0: Also "∧" (U+2227, wedge), the real other vector product[1], but that doesn't matter for scalar multiplication.

If anyone of you guys have access to Vue mastery watch the tutorial where Evan creates a mini-version of Vue js in vanilla JS in like 15 minutes.

He also explains some of the Vue optimization tricks like why they ditched the nested JSON and how Vue caches the @click handlers, etc so they don't need to check this on every digest cycle.

I wish there was a free version to link here. Really interesting stuff, shows you how much thought and effort is put in by the creators to optimise so many little things which us users of the framework never even notice is happening.
> Some of us don't want to spend our free time maintaining a NAS.

The issue is that, for me anyway, it's often easier/faster to just set up something myself. Most of the time it's a "configure once"-thing and then it "just works" with just the occasional updates.

And if something does tend to go awry it's usually easy to diagnose and fix. If something goes wrong with one of those NAS black boxes it tends to be much more complicated. Or if I want to add $feature_x this tends to be fairly easy as well.

Of course, this vastly depends on your skill and what you use it for: I don't have a mac so I never tried Time machine. My point is just that for some of us at least, "building their own" is actually done for the same reasons: I want to spend as little time on this as possible.

Synology are pretty neat machines last I checked them out though, we used to sell quite a few of them (over 10 years ago). I stopped using my CentOS "NAS" when I moved a few years ago, but if I were ever to be interested in buying one I'd probably consider it as an option.
The cycle of methane lasts something like 20/30 years. If the number of livestock is constant in the world, their emissions will be too and they won't accumulate. Reducing our consumption of meat would help, especially if we can get all the world on board, but total elimination would be a waste of time and resources.

as someone who actually visited the Colosseum: I’m not sure we should glorify a place like this. 10000 people died there during it’s inaugural 100 days. it’s barbaric. we should be better than this nowadays. I don’t really care what the gladiators saw or did before dying. It’s sad AF
I've seen plenty of non-tech people struggle with more advanced NAS solutions like Synology as well.
> If it was a lab leak, obviously we should regulate those risks better, but we should also do more to mitigate zoonotic spillover

This seems like a roundabout way to endorse Matt Yglesias' view that there are basically no implications to the question "was it a lab leak?"

Actually, if you had reconfigured a device badly and it had ended up signalling incorrectly on a network's control channel as a result, the situation I encountered is exactly what you would have seen on that day. Do you understand what a control channel is and why it is relevant here?
I think we have to abandon the norms of aesthetics and, at-least temporarily, create tree management groups to select and plant trees in an around cities. You cut down on cooling costs, improve air quality and provide numerous jobs.

It may be worth considering if you are naive in thinking that Putin doesn’t explicitly fund and direct the execution of cyber attacks against the west as a lever in improving Russia’s own relative standing.

American sponsors the same cyberattacks on Iranian and North Korean entities.
Tutanota went with a different tradeoff so they have E2E encryption of subject lines etc. Downside is that they can't support other clients, which is why I wouldn't have even considered them if the apps hadn't been open source.

https://tutanota.com/secure-email/

They also have a pseudo-workaround for using E2E with external users - if I send a secure message to foo@bar.com, I can encrypt it with a pre-shared password and their mail will get a link to a web "mailbox" where they can enter that password to decrypt the message. Clunky, but I wouldn't know how to do better.
This progressive enhancement is exactly why I prefer Vue and find it so productive. 95% of apps are best built as server-side rendered with reactivity on top of each page as needed (instead of the JS/SPA monstrosities we have today).

No, you should not. Original vim is unbeatable.
Even worse, they’re just elected from the pool of residents, right? They’re likely to not know anything about actually managing a building, are doing it as a side job, and they have limited ability to enforce things.
>You clearly have no clue how it looks inside the board rooms and executive offices of some of these huge companies. This type of stuff is treated the exact same way as if a 400m building burns down.

I sit with CISOs daily discussing this stuff. $400m expenditures is enough to scare the shit out of them. A $400m building burning down would have CEOs fired (see: Equifax CEO being fired after breach). I don't know what fantasy land you live in, but you're either delusional or lying.

>If a company can weather the storm, there is no long term impact.

That's not what impact means.

>If you look at equifaxes breach, it hasn't depressed their revenue.

This means nothing. It's possible that with an additional 50% of their yearly net income freed up, they could have massively increased their revenue by spending that on product development or sales efforts. You cannot draw any conclusions simply from the fact that their revenue hasn't decreased.

>Over the long term, it has had very little effect on the company long term, which is my entire point.

On the other hand, it may have had an enormous impact. In a time period where every other company is seeing massively rising profits and stock prices, Equifax has been relatively stagnant. Your point has no standing.

> I wonder if that's the case for everyone, that we can eat dairy products, but it's just not optimal for us

I think it depends a lot on people. Your point about "locally foraged" is good, but you have to take into account your ancestry. For example, I have ancestry in France and Italy, both places that used milk a lot during their history. This gives me better chances than someone with ancestry in Asia or Africa to be lactose tolerant. However in the end it doesn't matter, and the only way to know is to try out yourself and see how you react. For some people, it will improve their health (like how some people improve their health when they stop eating gluten), for others the impact will be negligable or not here at all. Everyone is different.
Is that a reason to tear down the Mesoamerican pyramids, for example?
Interesting. I got somewhat into Ron Paul in the lead up to the 2008 election - just ended up not really liking his social views and couldn't reconcile them with my views. I think I ended up liking Gravel more, really. I guess I'm more of a rock in a pond type person.

Bit-torrent was a failure in my opinion.

I really wish there was a client / protocol that allowed for sharing of files, but remove control from the user for what to share. Also limit the bandwidth on a monthly basis.

Sort of like a global peer-to-peer cloud. It could be used by open source organizations for sharing software and allow everyone to contribute to open source indirectly.

Users can designate a fixed size and bandwidth. Then whenever they use their computers, torrents will be running in the background.
