There's also no indication from this article that the video came from a service member. You can hear other heavy equipment vehicles in the background and the truck driver is definitely not driving anything owned by the military so also likely a contractor. Angry old man FB vibes from that article
The assumption is constant training and hearty penalties would dissuade one from such leaks, however, here we are.
I wonder what other mechanisms could be used to stop actions like this?
You haven't addressed a single thing in the comment you are replying to.
This was my first thought. It's very unlikely that this was unintentional if it is indeed a leak.
Where does meaning in life come from?
I have this exact same use case for an app I’m building and would love an answer as well. I built on S3 as a result. When a product says “full S3 api compatibility” this becomes my question.

Going further I don’t want to become someone else’s back door file repo for illegal shit. So presigned upload urls with an enforced file name and configurability over the size limit and expiration of the presignedpost (both in terms of time and number of files) is pretty important to me. S3 does a good job here.
Thanks for saying so! So great to hear.
That was not my question.
Hopefully the AI in this one behaves better
Yup. Look at the stock price lately, many people seem to think the same. Cloudflare will be a huge company in a few years.

See link skunkworker's post above. It is probably not a working vehicle, but a test shape. Also, it is probably upside down, and what you think is odd landing gear is just a stand for the shape.
So much censorship on the internet but the government can’t keep top secret projects from leaking?
I'm sure it's just because I'm too old to be in the target demographic but 9 times out of 10 when I see a Tik Tok video online (I don't have an account) the level of narcissism and lack of decorum on display is sickening.
Yes, as an EM, I'm inclined to think of managers as people and not mustache-twirling villains who think of nothing but their 10%-30% bonus. Most of the ones I worked with are. Ad hominem attacks aside, though, is it not important to have full context before we get out the pitchforks...especially if we feel like there's probably some missing? The only information we have about this situation is the word of a fired employee who is inclined to make themselves sound as sympathetic as possible. This article is certainly scant on details.

I've worked for psychopaths and expected that when I read this, but I don't think that's the whole story this time.
You're missing the point. That's almost the same as the OS doing it natively and pasting into Slack. Except it adds one more step than before, along with permissions & pricing headaches. What's the advantage?

Instead of the native: Screenshot/recording --> clipboard --> Slack

Now you have Screenshot/recording --> clipboard --> Dropbox capture + permissions/billing --> Slack

Why would Dropbox insert itself into a process that works fine without it and adds no benefit?

It's like instead of copying & pasting a paragraph of text into Slack, you use an extension that makes a GDoc of it and then links to that. But why?
Hey nice! Can multiple people edit the files together? How is concurrency handled?
I agree that we are not always rational and that emotions do sometimes over-rule rationality. Maybe more often than anyone would admit.

That's why we have to be prepared. One day the US or one of our potential adversaries will be led by someone whose responses are driven by emotion or ego. As a result, their responses are more likely to be escalations of situations that could've been better handled with a simple, rational, proportional response. Maybe we already had that day.
Reminds me of the cartoon of Robin checking in at the secret batcave.

What do you think about it when compared to the oft repeated (though possibly overblown) claims of ageism in tech? The way it could work is that you work your young/middle years in a company, and they continue to employ you in your near-retirement years due to the massive amount of domain knowledge, relationships, and general mutual respect.
Guess I don't know what I'm talking about
Many years ago during one of the big corporate training events in room of about 80 people we had a little icebreaker activity, where we had to say something interesting about ourselves that nobody else knew. I don't remember what I or anyone else said, except for one lady. She was a high powered account executive or something, but as aside, she said she owned a peach and nut orchard somewhere in California, and she had a big permanently loaded shotgun in her car to "kill the f*cking squirrels" (her exact quote) as she drove through the property because otherwise "they'd get nothing at all".
Great vivid picture and great icebreaker!
personally, I'd love a spot with a ronin sc type gimble attacked that follows me around while I vlog.
This seems to follow my experience, although I attributed it to the Pareto principle.

80% of the feature will take 20% of the time. The last 20% will take 80% of the time once you factor in all the other things like:

- getting the feature working correctly to all specifications.
- thinking about larger scale impact of your code and how your team might react to it, and deciding on which implementation to take.
- resolving missing edge cases.
- previously undescribed features the design team overlooked, but is now obviously wrong now that they can see it in action.
- time it takes to roundtrip the review process.
- resolving unrelated bugs that code changes may have created.
- writing tests.
- manual testing.
- fixing bugs found in regression tests.
- deployment and deployment related errors (happens rarely, but you have to average it out).

Just getting to "I got this feature working!", seems to only be a small part of the whole process.

Depends on the country because there is massive variation on this in Europe. For example, not every country sees diversity as a positive, some are not that diverse at all or may be diverse in different ways to USA.

It’s probably a bigger thing in the UK but that has much more cultural influence from the USA than the EU would.
You're close here, but you're not quite right.

The link that you posted mentions 5 migrograms per deciliter of blood, while your post mentions 5 micrograms per decaliter of blood. This is a 100 fold misstatement.

A deciliter of blood is 1/10 of a liter, while a decaliter is 10 liters. For reference, I believe that the average adult male has roughly 10L of blood, so 5 micrograms per decaliter would be 5 micrograms in the body of an adult, whereas 5 micrograms per deciliter would be probably something like 5 micrograms in a baby. I don't necessarily trust this site (https://www.healthline.com/health/how-much-blood-in-human-bo...), but it says that babies have ~75 mL (0.075L, or 0.75dL) while the average adult has 4500 - 5700 mL of blood (4.5-5.7L, or 45-57dL, or 0.45-0.57DL).

I'm also surprised that the article sticks with their "no lead is good" posture.
Most missiles do use rocket engines. Solid rockets are much easier to store and use than liquid fueled engines, whether rocket or turbojet. They can get pretty fast, too: the AMRAAM is supposed to go mach 4. The downside of any rocket engine is that the fuel and oxidizer run out quickly; the AMRAAM goes that fast in order to have a long range, as the motor burns out fairly soon. A few newer air to air missiles, like the British Meteor, have air breathing liquid fueled turbojets in order to increase range. Cruise missiles with their air breathing engines are the odd one out in missile tech.
> What they offered me was almost $300,000 per year. That was a shitload of money in Tennessee. You can’t really say no, right?

If more and/or better medical coverage was on offer from AMZN, it would have been mentioned. Note that he didn't say "That money would give us much more headroom to cover the deductibles or non-covered procedures." No, he said "That was a shitload of money in Tennessee."

It was always about the Lambos.
Slightly related, I once wrote code for the old Kill Screen site that subtly altered the graphics of a review of a game themed around lunar stuff based on the current phase of the moon.

AngelList will be you deal flow very easily. However, despite the market being very hot, I find the angelList deals to be offensively so. An even bigger problem is that I don't trust the syndicates enough to back these startups, at these prices. It seems like the syndicate leads are very high volume, and the investment mins are very low.

I rather develop relationships and cut bigger seed checks than spray and pray; even if it means I do way less investing. I'd also say, my favorite thing about angel investing is developing a rapport with the founders and helping, when I can.

Not in September. There were massive riots and political rallies, remember?

> they are refusing to get vaccines

A lot of them are already immune due to having had covid. About half, assuming random sampling. And last year _nobody_ had any vaccines.

> people are not protecting themselves

Protections that are currently deployed are mostly "covid theater" anyway. Nobody even checks your body temperature when you go into a grocery store or board a plane.

> Plus we have a new variant of COVID—Delta—that is both more contagious, and may hit you harder.

The first part of that is true, but the second is not - Delta seems to be more contagious but less deadly. This is a fairly common progression in viral evolution.
Do you understand what a "class" is in HTML? Do you understand that the class "commtext" doesn't appear anywhere in the source code for HN? The comment colors are controlled by classes like "c00" etc. Chrome has a tool called "DevTools" you can use that will show you. Here's the CSS for this site: https://news.ycombinator.com/news.css

Again, you don't understand it, but want to tell everyone else how easy it is...

> not respecting the guidelines is fine for me

in contrast I think everyone should be able to use the web, that it should be accessible. This isn't important to you, but sometimes you have to think about other people with a limited set of abilities in a compassionate way. The GP mentions "bad design" and I mentioned an objective measure: text that can't be read by someone without writing code.
1. "being 21" isn't a medical intervention. getting a vaccine is. I'd be equally pissed if they required me to show a statin[1] passport every time I want to buy fried chicken.

2. getting carded usually involves the server taking a quick glance at my ID. I can reasonably sure that my dining habits aren't being fed into a giant database somewhere. The same can't be said of a smartphone QR reader. If the bar was scanning my ID to check my age, I'd nope out as well.

Some older ceramics have lead too (mugs, crocks). I think some coming from China in more recent years have tested positive (plus toys and more).
You're totally right, but for whatever reason the culture of clout-chasing is especially bad on military TikTok. It's bad. Real bad.
Ideally you'd overprovision with solar and use batteries to store the excess energy, to be used at night

"Bandwidth Alliance" seems to be some sort of B2B consortium.

I'll dig into this more later, but unless I'm missing something obvious (I very well might be...) there's not a easy/inexpensive method for me to sign up and join the "bandwidth alliance", so that data transfer from B2 to my laptop is free.

I have a few VPSs with Linode, which is a member of the "Bandwidth Alliance" but I don't see any details, numbers, prices, specs... Just a bunch of marketing :/
I've been eyeing code-server in docker images for a while for preconfigured one-off IDEs for use in presentations, something I can easily archive together with the slides, I guess this would be even better given it's closer to actual VSCode still.

> Though there are other nuances to "teach" other drivers behind you, like driving extra-slow

Yeah, but I don't want to drive extra slow, do I? For one thing, I want to proceed as fast as possible, to get where I'm going. For another, if I slow down, the gap in front of me will widen enough that some fucker -- quite possibly the one now tailgating me -- will squeeze into it, and then I am the one tailgating someone.

> or breaking once I guess.

Quite the Freudian typo... Yes, braking for real while being tailgated is rather likely to lead to things breaking. And since one of those things is me (and another my car), I'd prefer not to.
Independent of political affiliation, silencing diversity of thought is not a good thing for the society
Introducing.. THE SLAP CHOP!!!

But actually, a food processor. It isn't 'quite without direct control or supervision', but the direct control is more like loading feed-stock and the supervision level is similar to using an oven: you're mostly there to make sure things don't go incredibly awry. I used to think they were kind of goofy in a home kitchen and had only ever used one at work, but after developing RSI in both wrists and working on dinner at a friends house I started to see the value.

Let’s think outside the box a bit here. If we see a few more of these leaks, it’s reasonable to assume that they’re leaked on purpose.

Why? So that vaccination status won’t be private health data anymore, it will slowly work it’s way towards being public information.

With the data public, non-compliers can be harassed, threatened or worse without governments having to lift a finger to oppress them.
Yeah I'm moving to Miami next week from a DC suburb and the no state income tax is not even a secondary or tertiary reason behind the decision. Reasonable crypto-asset support from the local government, the sun + plenty of fun things to do are primary drivers. The extra 400 bucks a pay period (maybe its per month, can't recall right now) is just an additional plus.

I don't plan on owning real estate over the next year or two, going to rent and enjoy the sun. Really loving that I work at a company with progressive remote work policies.

Wow, there was a thread today about moderating user generated content, a HN comment told how users try to get away using symbols from other languages that look like English to post offensive content.

I've worked in a few projects for telecos in Brazil and I learned that most carriers didn't know basestation locations nor coverage accurately.

Oh, interesting. I knew about Skynet, but I figured they'd still need to develop Sia. Looking at the repo now, I see what you mean. It looks like development on the repo stopped earlier this year.[0]

I've been a paid user for years. It's nice to finally see some redesign. Please, stop neglecting the app on Windows and Linux - it looks pretty ugly. Also, please do a better GitHub integration not requiring a git hook.

> I guess this would be even better given it's closer to actual VSCode still.

Within 24 hours of a pull-request merging into microsoft/vscode a new release is done automatically thus you now have the ability to run vscode as a server on your own computers/servers using the exact same vscode bits as used by Gitpod and GitHub Codespaces.

> Would this be usable on an iPad with an external keyboard?

Yes, my primary development machine these days is an iPad w/magic keyboard (pictured at the bottom of https://ghuntley.com/internet/) and openvscode-server follows the vscode bits used by GitHub Codespaces and Gitpod.

Don't all the social media companies make it hard to scrape their sites, especially in bulk? It's definitely impossible to contain something once it's all over a bunch of blogs like this, but it might be possible to contain some things if caught early enough.

There's also the private message angle: something shared through PM on a US social network may be able to be contained to the US, while anything shared on a foreign network may be able to be accessed by a foreign intelligence service, regardless of sharing settings.
AFAIK, the default packaging on Fedora enables rootless podman without additional configuration.
If you don't need to run `docker` command under Windows, install docker directly from distro repo is enough. No need to run another background service. Another benefit is it is faster to build docker images when the files are large, because it doesn't need to move files between WSL VMs.
*because RBMKs don't have containment vessels
in modern point to microwave systems, unless the budget is really high, or the path is very long, it's rather unusual to have a vertical spatial diversity setup. much of the problem of losing link due to fade is accommodated by modern radios that have advanced variable modulation and FEC, which can operate anywhere between 4096QAM 5/6 and QPSK 1/2.
I agree it's not necessarily the same, but also think that it's bad to have any social media in a top secret context.

That said, it's pretty obvious the bias the source has:

- "and posted it to the Chinese government-affiliated platform."

- "social media platform tied to America’s top adversary"

The problem here is people sharing stuff publicly which they are obviously not supposed to. The rest is just theater, even if technically somewhat worse. If you solve the root problem, the variation that makes it slightly worse this time is solved at the same time.
Thanks for your comment. I started out in tech, but was then trained as a group trainer, then as a coach, then as a jungian- and neo-jungian-oriented coach. My coaching mentors were psychologists and psychiatrists who saw value in depth-oriented coaching.

This got into admittedly weird territory for a techie; my theory of my objective brilliance died a few deaths in there, with more to go. ;-) I learned with disgust how much my buried subjective preferences push me toward tech and attempt to dictate my political views, my food choices, etc.

Still, as a result one can begin to apply a lot of really cool models to understand what kind of politics would be exemplary, and maybe just don't exist yet for example.

It's been an interesting path, but there are lots of interesting paths out there, yours included I'm sure.

Thoughts on responding at all? Does anyone expect it? It's not some humble brag but simple fact that I feel inundated and incapable of responding to all the messages I get. I leave every recruiter on read until I'm looking for a new job. Bad etiquette?

Right, capture cards you had to seek out in the pre and early internet days and pay hefty sums for, not to mention have the drive space for the captured footage in decent quality.

Meanwhile OBS is free and supports the common compression codecs that allow you to store hundreds of hours on even smaller modern drives.
But in these (dis?)information games, it wouldn't be difficult to setup a fake scenario like this just to make one's opponents feel really underpowered.

Imagine the fun of building a nice cool futuristic mockup, putting in on a trailer, and then leaking it to tiktok. It would cost so little and be so fun.

This is obviously comical speculation, but anything is possible.
