While they may be a class of attacks, I would describe all of them as undesired requests. Sometimes, with some clever protocol design, you can, in fact, mitigate a whole class of problems.

Afghanistan was a live combat training exercise. It gave valuable experience to career officers who will lead the U. S. Military for the next 30 years.

Russia and China can’t deploy troops in their own country. The U.S. military can land 10’s of thousands of troops, with a support supply line any where in the world on less than 24 hours notice, along with all the firepower that comes with those troops.

To “win” in Afghanistan would require slaughtering about half the population of the country, something the U.S. military could easily do, but it would make the U.S. into an international pariah, and that would be bad for business.

If the U.S. sovereignty was actually threatened all but the nuclear weapons would be unleashed, including all the top secret weapons that have been developed since the Gulf War, it would probably seem like Star Wars.
A prominent group of Virtual YouTubers (whose talents use avatars and keep their real identities anonymous) recently needed to stop allowing fans to send gifts to talents, despite them always having been screened, because the gifts might contain AirTags that could ping the sender when they arrive ina talent’s home. It’s not that this wasn’t possible before, but it suddenly became easy for a would-be stalker to execute the attack.

A tool like this that reliably detects AirTags rather than relying on whatever heuristics Apple uses to say “an AirTag is following you” would be invaluable for people’s opsec, be they performers or journalists or anyone else desiring anonymity.

This grated:
“… This formed part of French efforts to build up a geo-political presence in the Indo-Pacific and act as a global player in the region in the face of an assertive China. It keeps over 7,000 soldiers there, and regularly patrols through the South China Sea. Nearly 2m French citizens live in the Indo-Pacific, including on French territories such as French Polynesia and New Caledonia.”

The French have no care for the people of the South Pacific, their vain attempts at empire continue, while their toxic and deadly legacy in the region remains.

Careful complaining too hard about the behaviour of France though, they bombed us down here in New Zealand when we did.

The post-jQuery native browser APIs that were added to support those use-cases are querySelector for querying the DOM and fetch for AJAX (assuming you don't need the X part).
Even that editor admits that no real style guide takes that position. And of course not, because it would make no sense. The hyphen accomplishes nothing in such a case. However, although you didn't cite your source, let's call it a tie. :)
There are apps[0] that do this via the share sheet. Share is basically the same effort as Copy on iOS so that seems pretty good.

In some cases, like AMP pages, simply using the share button in safari to copy it will get you the canonical URL, but I don‘t think that works everywhere.

If you actually use a keyboard with iOS, you could find a shortcut that does this and assign it a global keyboard shortcut via Full Keyboard Access settings.

I feel like nix[1] is better suited than Ansible for this.

Just I'm this week, I made an iso for my rpi config, which has everything setup from ssh keys to the services i want to use. All I need to do is flash it and it's good to go. Not to mention that I can easier manage a fleet of this with remote deployment[2].

Is alpine really going for “small” though?

I’m not saying they’re not small and haven’t done a fantastic job, but my impression is that this is due to being mostly minimal in the default install;

The reason I say this (and I could be wrong) is because the use of musl for the libc means each binary kinda needs to include it’s own libc statically.

This must make the binaries huge!

Also, you can easily make small rust binaries, it’s Golang (of the two) that produces very large binaries.

If you just follow the first two bits of advice from: https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust you’ll reduce your binary sizes to near C++ levels.
> Some silly people think this isn't possible, but if large providers are forced to do it, then they can easily tell smaller ones they'll be blocked if they don't also do this, and so on, and we'd have a slightly more responsible Internet again.

You go ahead and force a large provider to do it, and let us know how. From what I can tell from reading NANOG mailing list posts off and on for decades is that most of the larger providers really won't be bothered to do this, and there's not any effective leverage to force them.
I cannot edit my OP.

I want to say thank you to all that have replied and given me suggestions.

To give some background. I made the post yesterday after I was rejected by some girl after she had heightened my hopes so much. To be honest, I even contemplated suicide yesterday.
The weirdest thing just happened today. She changed her mind and we had a really fun day long date.

I know I still have issues being focused on my career without getting distracted from whatever is happening in my private life. Thank you all for chipping in and showing support.
Is it too early at this point to wonder if there isn't some kind of underhanded deal going on?
I'm no sure how things are now, but 15 years ago (back when I was doing network admin type stuff), most routers did destination routing in hardware, source routing hit the CPU and was thus, very slow. I think that was the primary reason not to do that back then---perhaps it's still the case now?
Can I write an entire iOS app using Javascript and compile via flutter?

You can still buy quality footwear made of quality materials, it just costs more. And I’m not sure athletic footwear has ever been easily repairable, for one thing. Optimizing for weight cancels out many of the affordances you mention.
There's AES-NI, on most modern x64 processors, which helps with some Vpn ciphers. But I think Wireguard uses Chacha20 after the key exchanges for most of the traffic, and AES-NI doesn't help with that.
Apples and oranges. The topic under discussion is military tech and military ability. The strategic victories or blunders of civilian leadership and diplomatic corps are just as important -- indeed often moreso -- but they are somewhat orthogonal to military strength.

There are only a couple ways to lose a battle, but countless ways to lose a war.
The last French nuclear test was in January 1996, so rather unlikely.
Yes, and I can't help but think this will be used for more draconian DRM. I'm equally sure that soon people will have emulated TPMs that will act as a plug-in too.
A lot of times when people say illegal, they really want to say immoral but that word sounds too out of place in common language.

Is it okay to assassinate scientists? How about tech CEOs and software engineers?

To me, the most troubling thing is that Iran seems to do nothing in response.

I am not against business education. A knowledge of accounting, finance, business law, and the like can be of value in a business environment. What I do believe is harmful is the impression often created by those who teach management that one will be able to manage any job by applying certain management techniques together with some simple academic rules of how to manage people and situations.

You are conflating actions of different governments over decades into one singular action.

The world has changed a lot and if the government of the day feels it needs to alter a $90 billion purchase (which was initially $40 billion by the way before cost overruns) to better protect their citizens then it is their right as elected officials.

Also don't focus on the PR sideshow of the submarines, this is about the alliance itself.

We did not roll back our dependency, no, although our current release (3.4.x) allows you to disable Rust compilation via an environment variable specifically so we could understand where in the ecosystem challenges would occur. Our next release (now 35.0 based partially on feedback from the community around our unusual versioning) will hard depend on it for all X509 ASN.1 parsing. During the months since we did our first rust release, however, the `musllinux` specification and implementation has been finished so we expect to be able to ship binary wheels for Alpine very shortly. I am actually working on that today, with the only remaining blocker being an update to warehouse to allow wheel upload.
Yeah, this article itself reeks of bias.
> This experiment presented journalists with a potential news story (a candidate running for the state legislature) that varied only in its ideological content (i.e., the ideology of the candidate).

That is about the least ideologically charged story I could imagine. E.g. has "Unknown <republican>/<democrat> runs for office" ever gone viral among liberals or conservatives? It is exactly the kind of story I would pick if I wanted to make sure the experiment did not detect any bias.

"White kills black"/"Black kills white" would have been a much better test, as those are the kind of stories that generate the most outrage and attention.
You might imagine them having finished FastAI and going on to train a killer robot instead of a hot dog classifier. You might imagine they got a doctorate from an esteemed university in Israel or America. We see that AI is no universal solution for our social and economic problems. Instead the same models enhancing our selfies and alerting us to the mail delivery, are the same models tracking us around our cities and now aiming guns at our chests.
What's illegal about it?
None of what you say here imply or explain why his idea would be doomed (not to mention most of your assumptions are not always true or false and like most things depends on the person).

Not to mention points 2, 3 and 4 are completely unsubstantiated lol. How is this the top reply?

> the use of musl for the libc means each binary kinda needs to include it’s own libc statically.

This is factually incorrect. Musl supports dynamic linking and if you run `ldd` on any binary in Alpine you can see that it dynamically links against musl libc.
People learning to code observability tools in eBPF should be starting with bpftrace, and the tutorials should too. I've made this point in blog posts and keynotes etc. Doing it using bcc is how we did it 6 years ago -- it's out of date.
Uhm the HSV vaccine pipeline seems to have changed. Excision had clinical trials scheduled for 2021 a few years back, if I'm not mistaken. There are about 4 billion people infected with HSV worldwide*. Excision could prioritize and deliver the HSV vaccine and have the company well-funded for other causes.

Reasonable alternatives. It's solving a problem that doesn't exist for me. The traditional banking sector, Venmo, etc solve it all imperfectly well enough for me.
Did Iran and Israel ever sign a peace treaty? In 2020, the UAE normalized relations with Israel, and many countries took the opportunity to remind everyone that even if we are all dying of COVID, they would prefer that Israel go first.
Transaction rates and costs prevent it from being used to run all of the world's transactions. It can't scale to replacing an actual currency. Both the size of the block chain, and the timing of new blocks just don't work for mass adoption.

Thus, it will always be a niche player, even if that niche is Billions of dollars equivalent. Thus it is always going to be a speculative instrument, and not actually a stable investment.
His apps are badly designed wrapped up in loud visual design that’s trying to do / say too much.

Rerendeirng old cinema cg is anything but trivial. Production pipelines are incredibly complex and are a fast moving target. Getting something going again is a very complex and tedious task of software archeology against projects that often only had a single company using them.

When old content that doesn't have a high resolution film or digital master copy is remastered to HD, it's done using super resolution tools that do their best to infer extra detail based on the existing data.

Forgive me if this is a newbie question, but what makes the Wasm runtime more of a "sandbox" than e.g. CPython or the JVM? Do you need explicit permission/authorization from the host machine in order to do things like file and network i/o? Surely such a system isn't any more foolproof than SSH w/ a restricted shell, KVM, etc.?
You said "I feel that..." so I suppose you're an mbti 'F' - excellent choice! But I feel you'll work on this idea for a bit and then throw your hands up.

The symmetry is irrelevant when the attacker has stolen someone else's resources. Granny may notice her computer is even slower than usual, what then?

If we stipulate a future where attackers cannot steal other people's resources, then work backwards, I can't see any internet with any degree of freedom.

It would be necessary for every system to be 100% watertight. Mathematically-provably so. Spectre/Meltdown demonstrates that this isn't just formal proof about software. Eradicating the pathways to ddos is an intractable problem. You'd need to seriously consider preventing all network access except through certified and regulated kiosks to which users do not have direct physical access. Like, hand a librarian a piece of paper with a URL on it and get a print out.

I'm not expert, you shouldn't have confidence that I'm correct.
That’s exactly my point - of course the former USSR and current US have a more powerful military than anything that exists or existed in Afghanistan.

It wasn’t solely a military problem but both chose a primarily military solution (as did the British before them).

Ah, fair enough. I did a little more digging and it seems you can dynamically link rust binaries too now: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/422
Following news coverage through https://ground.news/ will quickly dispel this notion.
There is one example of a technology which was curbed because it infringed on privacy: high iso + IR video cameras in daylight. Sony had come out with a “camcorder” whose functions allowed people who wanted to take surreptitious up skirt videos (it was good under low light conditions and added IR light). This was a big problem in Japan so Sony took it off the market.

Now all cameras with IR suppress IR in good light conditions so as not to allow “see thru” capabilities.

Well you can ignore it as long as the marriage goes well :-) but in a divorce the court will make it very clear just how much money the marriage cost the higher earner, both in terms of dividing up past earnings, and in terms of dividing up future earnings via alimony and child support.

The reason I don't think of myself as a finance person isn't that I don't understand finance. I've worked in the finance industry for six years; I haven't worked on the supply chain or logistics side, but I'm well aware of how invoicing and accounts receivable work.

I understand that lowering the gross margin would increase both the cost of financing and the amount to be financed (both in absolute terms and as a proportion of revenue). That does further increase the price you need to charge in order to break even with offshore manufacturing, but again, the idea that you need to get back to the same gross margin irrespective of demand elasticity to break even with offshore manufacturing is silly.
It's more disturbing to read complaints about a strike against a brigadier general, where two countries are at war with each other, a mere few days after we learnt the US droned 10 civilians in Kabul as a 'retaliation' for an IS strike. We at HN should look inwards on this one.

It's not rocket science. It is, however, really hard. It's very hard to know whether to stay or go but i generally feel happy with marriage and kids.

Japan, South Korea, and Australia are all the quintessential middle parties in a bipolar power dynamic between the US and China.

Historically, that's turned out pretty well for them, as countries in that position can attract favorable terms from both major powers, who want to court them as allies.

Who knows if the government of Australia is thinking in these terms, but I'd be incredibly interested in what concessions and non-public promises Australia got behind the scenes for this.

And in terms of future international relationships, it does demonstrate to China that Australia isn't willing to make alliances solely on the basis of economic pressure. It will be curious if (in the medium to long term) China holds a grudge, or tries to reattract Australia with incentives.
It seems pessimistic, but it's only pessimism if you accept the current systems that are in place (economic, human relational, etc.).

I actually think that there can be great joy, mutual success, and net-postive happiness amongst people if they are willing to reconsider the rules and boundaries set by 1-20 generations before them.

Just as with studies and news articles, it's important to consider who benefits from the message being presented. Quite often, it's the "establishment".

After all, the establishment has tried to convince us that smoking was good for you, that mastubation would make you blind (and a host of other maladies), that burning fossil fuels wouldn't harm the environment, that eating low-fat packaged goods wouldn't make us fat, that drinking diet sodas wouldn't make us fat, that vaping wouldn't do some really wack stuff to us, that politicians represented us, etc. etc.

There are places in the world today where a woman breastfeeding in public is considered offensive. Who made that determination? (I use this example because it's about the most natural human activity, perhaps beside sex.) And yet, much of the US establishment wants us to believe that it's inappropriate. All of these crazy rules and artificial limitations could be much of what's wrong with our relationships and our behavior. I'm trying to point out the absurdity of things.
