Right, but given how widely deployed IPv4 is the bugs are generally shallower. E.g: if there firewall bug existed with IPv4, I bet it would be fixed now.
> megabanks are offline for weeks at a time

Yeah not going to happen. Might happen to government, but not banks.

Banks are incentivized by profit, and being offline pose extreme risk to profit. Government are just mostly self promoting bureaucracy until something goes really wrong, and then it's still the same bureaucracy.
I like this a lot. I studied Bayesian mathematic and in my opinion it’s the beat approach to solving these problems. Start with a prior and continue to update your state with measurements. This avoids a lot of the common pitfalls when doing batch ML and getting junk results
The question is, what do you do now? It's not going away. You'll all get it regardless.
I still think you are underappreciating the difference between people who buy homes and people who rent. To buy a house, you need a certain income, a down payment etc. The people who live in low income housing have none of those things and were never potential buyers anyway.

When I was young the nearest town (my parents lived outside in a village) had a bustling high street and everything was in the town centre. You could go there and spend hours shopping in different places without issue. There were supermarkets, department stores (yes multiple), bakeries, butchers, toy stores, etc. This is a town with a population of 20,000, but the wider area it covers is easily 3-5x that. It was a small town though, so if you wanted something else you needed to go to the city (1.5 hours drive away).

20 years ago Tesco opened a new store outside the town centre, it's still quite small compared to some stores though, with very little non-food. A McDonalds opened outside the town on a main road, which was the final nail in the coffin for Wimpy. Other than that, not much has really changed. The town has expanded a lot, with lots of new housing being built (the population has gone up by around 25%) but no new retail parks have appeared.

Today the town center is pretty much dead though. This started maybe a decade ago, a Starbucks opened and within a couple of years it shutdown. A few years later banks started closing or relocating to smaller units. This past year even charity shops closed down or relocated to industrial units outside the town centre. Business owners say the problem is the rent is too high. I'm not sure it's just that, but yeah, in the UK the high street seems dead today...
How high can this ships go? How Fast?

All along the Andes in South America there is a dire need to efficiently move products from high altitude to the coast (where major cities are)

In Peru for example, there are hundreds of small farming towns sitting at 10'000+ feet of altitude but just 40 straight line miles from the ocean.. Today to get there, trucks have to use one of the few roads that ,zig-zag up to the high lands before heading into any of this towns. ( an 8 to 16 hour trip )

Being able to ship produce straight down to the big cities on the coast would be a game changer.

Try StackOverflow. This sort of question doesn't really fit the Ask HN format.
I took the blog to mean something a little different. You should pursue causality but not everything is worth the work so start with a faster easier correlation analysis, then it it seems worth it you can test it to see if it behaves as expected.

Working in data, especially in a startup, we often need to make so many decisions and trying to change the culture is good but when it’s a fire then this approach would get us the furthest
The great thing about insurance is that we don't just get to create baselines our policyholders must adhere to, we also get to enforce them. A perfect example of this is anyone that has a policy with us must have RDP behind VPN/ whitelisted only to specific IPs. I spent years trying for free to convince orgs to do this and was ignored, here we convince all our policyholders to do it and everyday more and more companies as we onboard them.

For backups, not only do they need to have it, they need to be tested, kept offline and encrypted - this doesnt apply to all its split by revenue bands/industry/mix of other logic.

IoT devices - they get notified in Control if we find any on the internet and told to not have them directly exposed
Yeah, getting people to click on ads is definitely not what I want to do with my life. At my most recent company, I remember when the ads team had run an A/B test that showed a pretty significant lift in the number of ads clicked. Guess what the change was? They just put more ads on the page. I was floored when I heard that.
People with similar intrests tend to clump and early adopters of a technology tend not to represent the general population. Not to mention there are very obvious reasons why people drawn to roleplaying as something other than they are would be drawn to a technology that lets you easily do that in a relatively risk free environment.

I also wonder if its really as many as you think it is, or if they just stand out to you because you don't like them. You also don't have a good basis of comparison since you have no idea how many people in regular life are like that (i imagine its still much higher in vr space, but maybe the gap is not as vast as you think)
Sure there is. Your property tax still goes up 2% a year if home prices rise. That's more than inflation has been.

Rising prices also traps people -- they can't afford to move anywhere unless they go far away.

As a CA homeowner (nortgage paid up!) I'd be much happier if house prices were half off what they are.

I have a friend who is very high up in one of the biggest companies in the world.

He's very well compensated, but works insane hours and is never happy about working at his company. It's always "maybe this next role will finally be the thing", then he gets it, and then a few weeks later he mentions something that's wrong with it.

Which is fine. It's his life choices and no one can argue he's not successful. But he never seemed particularly accepting of the life choice I took some years. Those years, I took a break from full-time employment and spent my days going deeper into a coding language out of intellectual curiosity, studying online courses in area I didn't have much familiarity in, and biked in the afternoons for hours to get exercise.

His opinion was mostly "Don't you work? What are you doing with your days? I could never do that." Meanwhile now that I'm writing this, I'm thinking, "wait how could you not conceive of doing that? You're always talking about how much you hate your job. It's been a decade of these conversations!!!"

I'm back in the full-time workforce, but a part of me wishes I was in that part-time lifestyle because my happiest moments at work are when I'm pushing myself on a side project to shore up a weakness in software development instead of extracting value at the skills I'm already good at.
Do they try to get elected? why would you need to get elected when you can control any candidate, or control things regardless of who is in power???
Unfortunately no - the curl commands will by default go out over http, which does not use TLS at all or provide any guarantee of remote server integrity, just like plain TCP.So an attacker with the right network posture (say, they pwned your router or a hop between you and these servers, can just reply with plain HTTP and give you code that you will run.

Like op said, just tack on -f and https://, and remember to do this in the future.
Thanks balgan!

Fortunately most PC games have moved away from paying for anything that gives you an in-game advantage, and instead have moved for paying for "skins" or cosmetic items for game characters. It turns out that people care enough about this that it's a substantial revenue stream, and enables a number of widely-played games to be completely free, and playable in just as effective manner as those who spend money.

It's a similar desire to wear the latest fashion, not last year's or last decade's fashion. Art designers for these games are charged with creating new stylish character skins and effects that people would be jealous of every season. I'm perfectly fine with this as a monetization model.

One exception is Blizzard, who charges $60 for Overwatch and then also sells loot boxes with cosmetic items. There are other games like Path of Exile that are completely free (and aren't battleground PvP games) that rely entirely on money from players buying cosmetic items. (OK, to be fair Path of Exile does allow some small in-game advantages from buying stash tabs i.e. more inventory space, but it didn't feel like a huge advantage compared to the number you get by default.)

It's similar in a business context - the "pressure" of finding a causal result (especially in situations using AB testing) lead to poor analysis practices in order to find something significant.

California has the highest sales tax and income tax in the nation. The amount of revenue it gets from property tax is near the median for the U.S. I think they get enough money and don't need more.

It's not very different from Apple's strictness when it comes to hardware. Apple doesn't try to support everything that exists, or to be backward compatible with everything that used to. Linux succeeds in this area because of the number of peoples' interest in having those features and are able to code them.

It looks to me like Microsoft has been taking notes and feel they've found a sweet spot.
There are some towns here in California where the town center has a bunch of restaurants, wine and brewery places, and antique stores.

No one. Apparently
I want to ask you the same question, are you joking? Your citation is a video of a guy making claims with 0 citations himself.

Hyperinflation can be caused by printing of money, and in fact in the example video the case of Zimbabwe was cited as caused by a collapse in food production but was actually caused almost exclusively by the printing of money. You should read into the details of the Zimbabwe hyperinflation case for a good laugh at how ridiculous it was. The only way that could've happened for any other reason would be a complete disappearance of all domestic commerce and industry overnight.

As far as Weimar goes, the logic behind how he explains it holds no water. External debt in gold caused hyperinflation in a free floating currency? This doesn't stand to even the least bit of scrutiny. "Don't owe in any currency other than your own" is sound advice for some reasons but not to prevent hyperinflation. If you could draw me a picture of how the Deutchmark under the Weimar republic inflated away not as a consequence of debasing the currency I'd like to see it. They debased to pay debt, but the hyperinflation was caused by the debasing.

As far as Venezuela goes I'm not too familiar with the details but I will say I'm usually skeptical of arguments that amount to a finger pointing at America.
Maybe. But my point is that the fat pay packages are not because big tech has a lot of money. Rather, they are running out of supply for the kind of engineers they would like to hire. It's a demand supply thing. If big tech found it easy to hire, they would pay half of what they do now. Their primary expense is salary for software engineers.

> Personally, I'm not quite positive that I buy that causation is that hard to establish in many cases.

Do you mean it's not hard from an analytical point of view / from a practical data gathering perspective - or both?

I've found that needing causation leads to big delays in backlogs, especially when it's required for every insight, but I'm curious if you've seen it to be different.
>Bitcoin's survival is predicated upon the distributed, cooperating members of the network being willing and able to spend more cycles than any one bad actor.

Which is an entirely different statement than saying bitcoin's survival is predicated on centralized mining. It's not.

If centralized mining operations can continue, centralized mining operations could have a 51% attack.

Thank you captain obvious, ultimate king of semantics.

Your entire argument is one of bitcoin's demise via 51% attack being predicated on centralized mining. I don't think you understand that claiming a 51% attack is predicated on scaled-up operations is an entirely different statement than arguing against bitcoin's survival not being predicated on centralized mining.

You imagine a scenario of majority hashrate bad actors, all cooperating, can pull off centralized mining, and that their hashrate exceeds the entire hashrate of the decentralized less upscaled nodes as well as the more centralized good actors. That is a possible, but unlikely scenario that has always existed since the beginning of bitcoin for the reasons I previously stated before. It simply hasn't happened, there is currently a roughly $1T bet that it won't happen in the near term, and there is a valid argument to be made that when centralized mining becomes more restricted that the likelihood of successful 51% attack goes down and not up.

>people can pull off scaled-down mining operations even if illegal, but this reduces the effective hashrate

Probably, but not necessarily so. If I shutdown my up-scaled operation and send my miners to 100 of my friends to use discretely in their homes with similar uptime, tell me what difference does it make to the total hashrate? The only real effect is it makes it even harder to coordinate a 51% attack.

>My statement is "people can pull off scaled-down mining operations even if illegal, but this reduces the effective hashrate; further, other people can pull off scaled-up mining operations in the short term".

It sounds very easy to say "just get 51% of the world hashrate" (you seem unaware of what a feat this is) when in fact worldwide many actors would simply mine to the extent they can get away with it, probably including large centralized operations, and prisoner's dilemma and lack of worldwide coordination of bad actors would quite likely prevent such a 51% attack. I also don't think you can make the presumption the decentralized, down-scaled nodes will be a minority of the total hashrate if up-scaled mining becomes difficult (of course, it is possible, no in is denying that a 51% attack has always been a means of attacking bitcoin).
Hey

Ransomware and attacks on critical infra were the big ones - Joshua our CEO wrote a bit about it here https://www.coalitioninc.com/blog/coalition-meets-with-presi...

- our baseline is internal. We are with our customers end to end. From selling the policy to scanning them, notifying them and we have our own incident response team which means that we learn a lot with every claim. So when we add a vulnerability in critical state in Control you can assume it came from learnings of losses combined with our cybersecurity expertise.
No, this is a "specific team within FAANG" problem. It absolutely happens at some teams in all of them; it also absolutely does not happen in others. That's the problem with having very large companies; the experience is not homogenous.
I think the ideal is start with something that you think is causal, then do the discussed correlation analysis then it it looks fruitful, start testing by changing the distribution of the feature and if it is causal then you should see the kpi move in the same direction.

Does that make sense?

I don't have any experience with the housing issue in California, but got involved a while back trying to find pragmatic solutions in Seattle.

The situation is a mess and there is an entire "homeless industrial complex" complicating matters here, rife with fraud, misspending and cronyism.

Every year it seems like many millions of dollars more are spent on this issue but it keeps getting visibly worse.

At first I was in the "Housing First" crowd, but after my experiences I would say I more firmly believe in "Rehab First".

This article was probably the first of all of these Apple posts here this week to be absolutely clear: Apple didn't really change anything, and this settlement seems entirely broken given the original goals of the lawsuit.

And yet, with tons of votes after only 2 hours, and mostly reasonable comments of people who finally are getting a narrative that doesn't buy into Apple's spin on the truth, it is on page two... I guess it got "flagged"? :/

If enough people leave because housing is too expensive, then eventually housing stops being too expensive and people stop leaving. Eventually an equilibrium is reached, but that we might be at that equilibrium already if California’s population isn’t crashing.

> The right-wing sentiment that's been whipped up various times is that this type of lifestyle leads to welfare dependence, which comes at the expense of those who have the ambition and willpower to be productive.

It's interesting to note that kind of unproductive lifestyle is not too different from the lifestyle of some capitalists, for instance those who inherit or live off interest/capital gains.

They might have a pile of money, but that money is going take the fruits of labor from the same pool as a welfare recipient without adding anything to it.
How are they hacks and not solutions? If smaller living spaces for smaller family units is a solution wouldn't they be solutions and not hacks? If people actually want smaller housing and choose these things, aren't they real solutions?
