People who are vaccine maximalists are those who hear news like this pill and primarily are concerned about its effect on vaccinations, as opposed to being happy we now have multiple effective defensive and offensive measures against the virus, which was always going to be necessary for us to return to normal.

This article inadvertently touches on complexity theory, which is something I've recently become interested in from a management perspective. In complexity theory, organizations are viewed as complex adaptive systems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_adaptive_system which are dynamic networks of interactions, much like this article is describing.

It's been an interesting thought exercise to ignore typical management styles focusing on command and control structures, and shifting to holistic view of the organization and the networks that support its function. i.e. if you want to understand success of your top performers, you have to consider the system they operate within and how it enables their success. I think that relates to the point of this article, and I really enjoyed connecting the dots.
> Clearly, this patent should be assigned to the federal government, not to Merck

How about a proportional slice? That would seem fair. IP and products can have fractional ownership.
No, that is incorrect. The FDA Only renewed emergency use authorization for Pfizer; Approval was for BioNTech’s Comirnaty with additional safety studies required (until 2027). It's currently not available in the US.
this is pretty amazing to see happen. Hopefully these new cards will allow gamers to get their RTX series back
But then bad guy just logs in to Authy with the same stolen credentials because most normal people will probably use the same credentials for everything, including Authy. And arguably, the smartest tech-savvy folk wouldn't be storing their 2FA keys in the cloud like Authy anyway.

If your cloud account is protected by 2FA that's also in the cloud... it's turtles all the way down.
Google Stadia | https://stadia.dev/about/ | Mountain View, CA, USA | Multiple Roles | Full-time | ONSITE

Stadia is Google's cloud-based platform that lets you instantly play your favorite video games on the devices you already own. No more waiting for game downloads, updates, or installs. With Stadia, you have the freedom to decide how to play, what to play, and where to play across laptops, desktops, phones, tablets, and TVs. We're working to expand the availability and convenience of how people play the industry’s best games.

We are also making our infrastructure and tools available to developers and publishers who want to build their own interactive streaming platforms, and deliver their games directly to their customers. We aim to grow the industry across gaming and other interactive streaming applications.

Gamers demand high quality, performant, gaming experiences, which requires us to solve complex engineering challenges every day. This role involves delivering functionality that is used by both external users and external app developers; on servers as well as clients. These present unique challenges.

We design, build, launch, and land the fundamentals that make it possible to include video game streaming in first- and third-party applications.

So, it's obvious that if there were some people much smarter than the ones working on the Manhattan project, they wouldn't be able to improve it on any reasonable way?

I could maybe agree that it's true, but I really don't agree that it is obvious, and don't agree that it generalizes to all less demanding projects done by less capable people. It probably is true for a lot of things, but claiming it applies to all seems ridiculous.
> The problem is that there isn’t a tidy image (at least I haven’t come up with one) that combines all of it.

I don't think you should expect there to be an image that shows all the levels of abstraction at once. The image should only show you the level of abstraction that you're currently concerned with: in this case, endofunctors and the natural transformations between them.

What you're asking for is akin to asking for an architecture diagram of a distributed system that somehow also shows you the circuits inside the CPUs.

The point of abstraction is to package up details into a box and forget about them, for the purpose of managing the complexity as you reason at a higher level.
Sometimes, yeah!
No, your first sentence shows you're lacking an understanding. They genuinely fear the vaccine and believe Ivermectin works. If it was exclusively about politics they'd embrace the vaccine since both Trump and Biden are pro-vaccine.

Taking Ivermectin for COVID from a doctor as an objectively "bad idea" is ridiculous, because it has been widely prescribed around the world for COVID. At best, it is a "marginally pointless idea."

It's just unfortunate that running CouchDB in the cloud seems increasingly perilous. Since IBM acquired Cloudant, it's much tougher to run CouchDB "at scale PaaS" on any data center other than IBM's (for obvious reasons), whereas early Cloudant had robust Azure and AWS support for years.

I wish Couchbase were more helpful practically than they try to present themselves theoretically. Even if their products weren't so expensive the impedance mismatch between their version of CouchDB's sync APIs and their own APIs seems to increase by the year, and is pretty noticeable in how different it works from a PouchDB standpoint and how easy it is to break sync. (Impedance mismatches in allowable database names and _id keys are huge on their own that have massive repercussions in application design.)

Even CouchDB is not CouchDB anymore with impedance mismatches of its own between versions. On the one hand it's good that Cloudant upstreamed a lot of their cluster management tools directly into Apache CouchDB 2+ (even as they made their PaaS offering IBM Cloud only [or whatever it's name of the month is]), but huge architectural changes below the covers in CouchDB 3+ start to present their own sync issues akin to but distinct from Couchbase's (and even some of Cloudant's as they seem [?] to be diverging again into their own 2+ fork after all that work upstreaming stuff?).

More than ever, Azure CosmosDB's focus on bare minimum MongoDB capability and not supporting anything like CouchDB sync, despite having close the same raw ingredients (Cosmos' change feed looks a lot more like Couch's, but is just missing a couple subtle things to make it directly and immediately useful for Couch replication) seems like a "CouchDB is dead and not worth supporting" signal from Microsoft.

Unfortunately, I think PouchDB <=> CouchDB replication has past the "mature" point to the "decrepit" and "falling apart" stage, maybe to the point of "evolutionary dead end" if I'm feeling strongly pessimistic enough, and I've been for years trying to figure what to replace it with.
They have a lot in common. They are admissibility conditions under a rule system. Same thing with laws encoded in a computer system.

What's the API doing for you within newsboat?
> which according to the Compound protocol, they rightfully own

And that is one of the biggest misconceptions of crypto stuff.

Law and contracts (1) determine who owns what, not who happens to currently hold it.

That's why the founder can threaten them with the IRS, because they (likely(1)) do not rightfully (as defined per law) own it.

This is also why NFTs are kinds stupid, because you totally can sell someone a NFT which "claims ownership rights" without selling them any ownership rights legally seen. Sure it's most likely fraud as you deceived people, but only if. So telling people you sell them the NFT but not the think behind the NFT would make that pretty legal. Like you can sell a certificate about the correctness/quality of a picture without selling (or even having) that picture.

(1): Smart contracts are not contracts, they are computer programs. They might also contain contracts, but that doesn't mean that just because something is done in a certain way in a smart contract it is legally binding, legal, or anything (Well, that's also true for contracts themself).

> Other three days spent promoting the stuff he put in those two, lol. People who imitate MLM marketing for self promotion are among the internet's most insidious grifters, imo.

Those 15 hours account for everything because releasing free blog posts, podcast episodes, youtube videos and open source tools is the marketing. Almost everything I release is for free with no strings attached and if anyone wants to watch or read that stuff they can, if they don't then they don't. I don't even monetize my YouTube channel because I don't like watching ads myself.

I never purchased a single paid ad and also don't cold email or spam anyone to "market" my courses. I had to Google what MLM even stood for.

The rest of the time I'm doing contract / freelance work and by "rest" it doesn't translate to an outrageous amount of hours per week.
Thanks -- should be fixed now.

Question as they did not mention Sim Swap in the email. Was this confirmed somewhere?
"the third party took advantage of a flaw in Coinbase’s SMS Account Recovery process in
order to receive an SMS two-factor authentication token and gain access to your account".

I'm personally more familiar with incidents using SMS stealers (mobile malware) or use of SS7 vulnerabilites due to my job. Telcos in our country (europe) run tight security on SIM swaps.

I was surprised about their recommendation to use time-based OTPs. They basically have the same attack vectors as SMS minus independent channel sign-what-you-see capabilites.

Tesla sells government credits. Cars and solar panels are ancillary to that. The problem is that government issued credits like those can be sold. The Reagan administration cursed us with Elon Musk, and that simple fix (making government issued tax credits non-transferrable) prevents future Musks.
I agree. From Coinbase's perspective, they ought to defend their infrastructure against fraud, whether that is a direct attack on the users, an attack on the users' telcos, or insider activity directly.

From the telco's perspective, they have a responsibility to stop SMS and SIM fraud, and our regulations have failed to properly hold them accountable in this domain.

I would add that the users have some responsibility for losing their emails/passwords, but my initial framing insufficiently demands responsibility for the service providers in this instance. The service providers should be expected to take all reasonable steps to prevent fraud on their platforms, and that should include extra scrutiny of SMS-based authentication mechanisms (e.g., identity verification). This is why Coinbase paid them back, accepting some responsibility for the fraud.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks for sharing!

Games and consoles have this security issue that I call the "bored teenager effect". They get pummeled security & cheat wise way more than is warranted for their market size, and their user base is way more technically sophisticated and more willing to put up with BS to play their games.

As a result, the average multiplayer game has better security than the typical bank, because thousands of bored and emotionally immature teenagers are trying some pretty sophisticated crap to just get more points in a fucking online game.

So totally not surprised that roblox's captcha is extra hard.

Are you sure about that? I see it going a lot more like this:

Stage 1: Amazing new project lights the world on fire.

Stage 2: Woke-scolds achieve 10% of contribution.

Stage 3: Multiple woke-scold instigated controversies lead to the creators cowering in Twitter fear and implementing a CoC.

Stage 4: CoC is used against everyone, but twice as hard against the creators.

*(satire or future) Stage 5: CoC updated to require vaccine passport for contribution.

But that's not the case in the article "Netflix began using =SK's dedicated= line starting 2018 to deliver increasingly larger amounts of data-heavy, high-definition video content to viewers in Korea from servers in Japan and Hong Kong".

Admittedly the article is light on the details, yet I'd presume the line has been created exclusively for Netflix, there is no info if there was an agreement between the parties. There is no reference to the Seoul District Court decision, either.

"Internet"/data between major tube providers (ISP) is very different than paying cable company X for end user access. Some just have agreements to carry each other traffics and some pay to carry their traffic[0]:

As an example, I have a Dell R620 sitting behind me (among lots of other stuff,) it has 20 cores and 128GB of RAM. It's loud. It's hot. It's powerful and awesome. I bought it for $400 refurbished. It's sitting in a nice rack. I use it for VMs.

I have a stack of 10 RPI4's in a case on my left, a lot smaller. Deadly quiet. That's 40 cores and 80GB of RAM. Not loud at all. Bought them for $75 each. I use them as physical hosts for a number of things.

I treat them the same. General compute. One cluster is more convenient than the other.
