One of the most amazing things I saw at AWS reInvent was an advanced talk on IaC that provided the code of a lambda function inline in a CloudFormation template. I realize that this is just one talk, and there are plenty of ways to structure things well, but this practice is directly encouraged by the design of CloudFormation[1]. AWS has attempted redefining the lambda deployment story multiple times, there are multiple companies whose primary offering is providing a better way to deploy code to serverless offerings, but this still stands out to me as one of the most terrible ways to do things, and I blame the design of CloudFormation.

> The rollback functionality of CF is a blessing

When it works, which is a big caveat: we had far more cases where it failed in a way which required manual remediation and the gaps in validation meant that you'd be in a “apply / error / rollback” loop requiring 20+ minutes before you could try again. Terraform was always considerably faster but it was especially the orders of magnitude improvement in retry time which convinced most of us to switch.

The CloudFormation team has been working on this so it's possible that experience has improved but the scar tissue will take time to fade.

I’ve long given up on this idea that it’s perpetuated. If people want something, that’s what they want, no different than having a race or body type preference in a partner. What’s the alternative, to tell people the relationship attributes they want is wrong? Can’t squeeze the human out of the person.

In similar fashion, educated women won’t date down, while men will [1]. Should we tell them that’s wrong? I don’t think that’s reasonable nor feasible.

>But by the sounds of it, SHA1 is more than enough (given that nobody here is willing to brute force the hash I shared above?)

SHA1 is "more than enough" for this specific interaction in which you chose a complex password and/or your only opponents are unmotivated/non-incentivized HN commenters that don't have a password cracker at their immediate disposal. That doesn't mean anything outside of this context.

If your opponent was a motivated hacker with dedicated password cracking machines (which do not require anything even close to a nation-state budget, btw), your SHA1 hash would be much more likely to be cracked. If you were a specific target of a hacker group, such as an employee of a company that is being targeted by an attack or someone known to have a BTC wallet with $10 million in it, your SHA1 hash would be much more likely to be cracked. If your password was a relatively simple phrase like "dog$aregreat2019", like the vast majority of user passwords are, it would almost certainly be cracked.

SHA1 is not even anywhere close to "enough" for general password hashing use. Don't think otherwise just because a couple of random HNers failed your little game.

edit: The premise of your "challenge" is also not equivalent to the goals of most hackers. Unless you are a specifically known and prioritized target (because you're a celeb, VIP, wealthy person or something like that), the goal of a hacker is not to take one specific hash and crack it, because the success of that will depend a lot on the complexity of your password. The goal of most hackers in a breach like this Twitch one is more like "just throw it all at the wall and see what sticks". They take a massive database of thousands of hashes and spend a few hours to see what can be cracked, taking advantage of the fact that while some people may have complex passwords, most do not. After a few hours, maybe they crack 90% of the SHA1 hashes in a leak. Maybe your password was complex enough that it was in the 10% that wasn't cracked; good for you, but just because your password remained uncracked doesn't mean SHA1 is "enough". The hackers still got the other 90%.
> Managed services offer big benefits over software.

TF can be used as a managed service.

> Managed service providers offer big benefits over software. With CF and AWS support, help with problems are a support ticket away.

The same is true with TF, except 100000% better unless you're paying boatloads of money for higher tiered support.

> I only run workloads on AWS, so the CF syntax, specs and docs unlocks endless first party features.

CF syntax is an abomination. Lots of the bounds of CF are dogmatic and unhelpful.

> I have seen Terraform turn into a tire-fire of migrations from state files to Terraform enterprise to Atlantis that took an entire DevOps team to care for.

CF generally takes an entire DevOps team to care for, for any substantial project.

I get what you're saying, but how is incel different from "hacker" (when Anonymous does something newsworthy) or "neo-Nazi" or "White supremacist" in situations where the subject of the article wants to be known as part of that community?

The guy in your article doesn't seem to be ashamed of the word, and its original meaning wasn't pejorative to them. It was a way to find support without shame.

Slut was always a negative word that has had to be reclaimed, and there still aren't online slut communities inspiring each other to murder innocent people.

Oy, false as stated, as so much about the Monty Hall Problem is. While the importance of "standard assumptions" are noted, the key standard (and almost always unstated) assumption is not: that all contestants get the offer to rechoose. This wasn't true in the actual show, which was using the rechoose option sparingly, and employing it to take back prizes.

I'm old, before anyone wrote about the problem I noticed the show rarely offered a rechoice unless the contestant had guessed right. Why not? They had a chance to save some money by preying on naive contestants.

In such a case (where the host either knows the sequence of doors in advance or is signaled) there is no probability, or if you like, the probability is whatever the show's producer or executives decide it will be. In the event, way back, it seemed to me that that probability was very low.
I may be wrong, but I've realized there are at least 3 classes of hacker:

1. The back-end PenTester who builds and destroys with nothing but terminals.

2. The engineer who transforms mundane objects into brilliant fixes, or fixes what everyone doesn't realize is broken.

3. The on-the-spectrum genius savant who makes mind-bending experiences that redefine how we see reality.

But there's no reasonable motive for the Zodiac Killer to do so. If he wanted to frame Gary Poaste, he would plant evidence that was more obvious. If he wanted to toy with the detectives who were trying to discover his identity though--which is well within the pattern of behavior observed from the Zodiac Killer--this is exactly the sort of thing he would do.

How does it work today?

All mobile banking apps that allow signup seem to also allow account closure, so there isn’t exactly a problem there.

If I sign up for insurance in an app, I expect (and Apple will enforce) that I can cancel it in an app. Setting aside certain health insurance scenarios where I have no legal authority to terminate my insurance, I expect that Apple will absolutely start enforcing that insurance account management apps need to have a way to terminate coverage. But I think this isn’t the kind of business they’re concerned about, so they might focus on other business categories first.

Absolutely, those optimisations should be opt-in, otherwise it's impossible to reason about the correctness of your code. At work we had to replace some arithmetic by inline assembly, as there was literally no other way of making the compiler generate the correct expression.
> It's also strange that someone who has this level of access to what is presumably a multi-billion dollar company decided to just leak the data?

From what I heard about Twitch-interns over the years, it seems the company is more a third-rate-s**hole that grew too big too fast and accumulated a huge amount of technical debt and fatal security flaws. Making billions doesn't mean anything if you don't invest them back into the important corners of the company. It's considered a miracle that the platform is still working that well in that state. And what comes from the leaks so far supports this view.

Though, said that, it seems they did start to improve one or two years ago, just too late to prevent this critical hit. But considering this was also a strike that avoided the deadly parts (yet), maybe there is a different aim here and the company can grow from this? It will be interesting to see how Amazon will react to this.

As a very rough first approximation, a person consumes 1 million food calories (kilocalories) per year. As carbohydrate, that's 4 cal/gram. Total population is about 8 billion.

8 billion cal * 1 million / (4 cal/g) / 1 million g / tonne = 2 billion tonnes net carbohydrate

That's a rough estimate (carbohydrate is neither pure carbon nor CO2, there is a humidity content) and undercounts total ag production (animal protein consumes a large amount of input feed for a much smaller amount of protein) , but gives a rough order-of-magnitude sense: 1e9 tonnes food vs. 1e11 tonnes net emissions.

FWIW, Our World in Data gives 2.7 billion tonnes net cereal production in 2018:

Total global live biomass is on the order of 550 billion tonnes:

From the guidelines:

> (v) Account Sign-In: If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a login. If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app. Apps may not require users to enter personal information to function, except when directly relevant to the core functionality of the app or required by law. If your core app functionality is not related to a specific social network (e.g. Facebook, WeChat, Weibo, Twitter, etc.), you must provide access without a login or via another mechanism. Pulling basic profile information, sharing to the social network, or inviting friends to use the app are not considered core app functionality. The app must also include a mechanism to revoke social network credentials and disable data access between the app and social network from within the app. An app may not store credentials or tokens to social networks off of the device and may only use such credentials or tokens to directly connect to the social network from the app itself while the app is in use.

Also interesting:

> (viii) Apps that compile personal information from any source that is not directly from the user or without the user’s explicit consent, even public databases, are not permitted on the App Store.

So why is Facebook still allowed? It still creates shadow profiles without permissions as far as I know.

You know what worked for me to get rid of Facebook? I turned it into a chore and eventually broke it.

When I deleted my old account and created a new one a few years ago, I decided to run a little experiment: I started hiding everything that was not posted directly by friends. "[unknown person] posted on [friend]'s wall"? Hide [unknown person]. "[friend] liked a post by [some page]"? I hid that page. A friend shared a post by someone or from a page? You bet I hid those too. And the same for groups, events and so forth.

I did that a little bit every day, for 3 years, until Facebook became pretty much barren. My friends only really post a handful of things a day and the rest is just cruft. Around that time I also discovered that Facebook started exposing who had uploaded your contact info as part of a marketing list... so I started leaving negative reviews and blocking those pages.

Does this sound like a total bore and a chore? Yes, yes it was. I think I got it going for so long mostly out of spite for the platform. Eventually, it got so bad that it started literally breaking Facebook for me. Sometimes no posts would load at all. Eventually, some of the hiding options stopped working! After a year or so, the experience got so janky and unrewarding I just deleted my account. I took the chance to get rid of Instagram and WhatsApp as well, since this was around the time where the latter started pushing for more telemetry.

I got most of my closer friends to jump on Telegram and Signal. I do miss Facebook a bit, in that it's become harder to keep up with some people that don't use other platforms... but not too much. I'm setting up a blog for myself to share whatever I want to write, my tech tutorials and maybe set up a photo gallery.

Although Windows NT was in many ways a version of the operating system VMS that failed against UNIX including having the same main architect, Dave Cutler, who hated everything about UNIX and who refused to learn from its success. Plan 9 on the other hand was created by some of the very same people who created UNIX. It learned from UNIX and while it failed, it failed because to most people UNIX was "good enough" and the improvements of Plan 9 weren't compelling enough to switch.

10% loss was just meant for quick calc, and I did not even factor in the loss in power generation etc.

And the assumption was only 50% of the capacity, so that would drop to ~150 miles. Again, it's claimed value, how much you can actually get out of it really varies.
If you just want to get 30 miles per day, then you will need ~ 6A, which is within household circuit rating but will still double the load of the ordinary family peak.

Please don't simply use Watts to calculate AC load, it will not give you the real current demand.

> Changing the mechanics of the elections is the only way to enable a return to centrism in the US.

There is no centrism to return to. The post-WWII age of bipartisanship wasn't one of centrism, it was one where the party split didn't align with the ideological divide. It was jist as much a period of competing ideological extremes (and governing from ideological polarized positions, which is why it featured the US military being used to enforce the federal will against US state governments.)

Changing the mechanics of elections to artificially favor centrism is...opposed to the kind of changes that would expand the scope of meaningful choices and improve representation.
I’m confused. Isn’t Ansible and CloudFormation what apple is to an orange with completely different use cases and purpose?

100s of services and databases to work out and sort through. Good luck building a global real-time video CDN too. You could build your own faster. Microservice architectures mirror the org that built them. You wouldn’t do it the same way for yourself.
It’s the same as trying adhering to RTBF/GDPR with a blockchain or any other immutable data store… Your design decisions need to match the regulatory or other commercial / situational requirements.

But in your case I’m not sure what exactly is the problem other than Apple doesn’t believe you… you can still delete the account it’s just deleted locally.

And you may be required to delete any server side identifiers if such exist.
