What about the middle manager who gave that supervisor the power to put an intern in a such critical position without review?. You can keep going up like that .

In most companies someone is the fall guy depending on much impact is there. It is not uncommon for that some guy to be the CEO if the fuck up is big enough .

The website addresses that in the first paragraph. You can, as they did, do it manually yourself. However, you're very likely to make unnoticeable mistakes due to it being a government tax form. Using a weekend to do something a computer can do for you in seconds is both a waste of time and likely to make you spend another weekend amending it after they send it back.

The vast majority of people just want it to work like it works everywhere else. Computers handle it, and you overwrite anything that the computers can't know so that it's correct. That's what tax software is for, and that's what these projects try to accomplish in a FOSS way.

I'm also curious as to why I keep seeing the vague and somewhat uncommon expression "to make whole" in relation to the Coinbase breach. I have neither the time nor the interest to dig into the matter, but my astroturfey-senses are tingling.
I'm not sure if you can blame compliance for that. PayPal is back since a very very long time already...

And its getting bigger and bigger by the day, so it should scale. Not increase cost..

I'm pretty sure they do it:

A) for the stock

B) because they are a monopol (almost)
I think the world would be a better place if we accepted that we do not really have controll.

Poverty and Crime are not moral failings.

Presumably we would make the lives of such people far better if we attribute their missfortune to just bad luck.

Redistributing wealth from people that got lucky is also simpler than if we'd attribute their success to their goodness.
I would go on and say that excessive trait curiosity can be detrimental to your long-term business success by simply not being able to stubbornly focus on crucial areas/problems — It's an easy excuse for not trying hard enough.
When it comes to radio-related gear, there is always a slightly better model for a few dollars more.
Where does that work? I tried googling for Amazon support contact after I got locked out of my Amazon Japan account. There is no email address; there is one phone number where a bot tells you to use the website.
I'm a little bit skeptical of this claim, because cows turn the "sequestered" carbon (partly) into methane, which is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

Tax laws are hundreds to thousands of pages each. The complexity is intentional and not accidental. Many carve outs are specifically created for special interest or to target certain constituencies.

There's a narrative where companies are painted as regretfully rather than opportunistically raising prices, maybe they just want to make more money. That's kinda the point of the system after all
Why is this a requirement? The instantly part.

Any office that uses physical keys will fail to meet this requirement, and we've had that system for quite a long time and it seems to have worked alright.
Not in the U.S. Perhaps,

However many services even government ones depends on WhatsApp business accounts to provide essential services.

A ton of apps also use fb login as their only or primary authentication mechanism some of them would definitely be essential services.

Maybe building on Facebook was not best idea for these apps , but essential services would have been impacted nonetheless.

About the same age here.

One thing that adds to this feeling for me, is that any device I own that has an OS, unless that OS is Linux, feels distinctly hostile. I can't own a handheld computer that's not trying to enmesh me in an "ecosystem" of some sort, curate my options without my consent, do god-knows-what in the background, brick itself on a timer, and the list goes on.

It's even worse with laptops and desktops, unless I'm willing to devote big chunks of my dwindling free time to making a hobbyist OS (which, to be fair, is a breath of fresh air when it works) behave.

When even the terminals to our increasingly-hostile internet are themselves hostile, it makes me dream of just walking away from it all that much more.
At least when I was working in the area 10 years ago, most passwords were leaked via brute-force, phishing, or key logging trojans. The latter was far more common than you'd ever think, and also often harvested SSH private keys.
> You had to activate it with customer support, though.

I wonder why that is. Are they offering this service at a loss? If not, why not offer it to everyone automatically?
I’m not sure they are competing though. They serve different purposes and co-exist pretty well together.

He will notice neither $6 nor $6B I would assume.

The value will probably even rebound since people made aware how much of their communication relies on Facebook.
Network Solutions definitely did it. I searched for a few domains along the lines of "network-solutions-is-a-scam.com", and watched them come up in WHOIS and DNS.
It's been 20+ years since I had reason to know the internals of BGP, but I still carry a slight nervousness whenever I think about it.

In many ways, it's beautiful in that it allows Autonomous Systems to come together and independently make the Internet.

However, I always felt it was brittle in that it relied every AS to have edge routers aware of the entire AS routing map, and so when those routers went down hard, when they came back up they were blank and needed to learn the Internet again. I noted back then that on some routers a single spoofed UDP packet to a router getting a table from its peers could cause it to stop doing that and start again. In a time when those updates could take hours... well... that kept me awake at night sometimes.

Propagation of routes was global and error prone. Even today, you can see on the spy glass websites rogue AS routers advertising crazy routes either by accident or on purpose as a hostile act (to try and get traffic for a target network through itself).

There are tens of thousands of engineers globally nursing and managing this stuff to keep the whole thing going.

Like I said, it's been a while since I last looked closely, and I imagine multiple improvements have been made in this space since that time, but if there was ever a protocol that needs a long, cold hard look for a replacement, it's quite possibly BGP.

It's also the one - and only - non-crypto situation where if somebody asked me if a blockchain could be really very useful, I'd say "probably, yeah".
Carbon Bubble
A rogue employee would have been very easy to detect and that employee would have known this. The core network infrastructure involved is extremely sensitive and is quite unlikely to be accessible in a break in.

Also IIRC an employee was posting on Reddit saying the incident started shortly after a network update was posted this morning.

When you know more about the tech and systems involved a mistake seems infinitely more likely than sabotage.
Compared to the console market, availability across stores on PC is still generally better, and importantly, the barrier for consumers to buy games from multiple stores on PC is much lower than the barrier to buy a PS5/Switch exclusive game on a console that you don't own. That lack of platform control has also lead to an ecosystem of PC games that is pretty objectively more innovative and more expansive than the collection of games on any other tightly-managed competing platform.

The increasing trend of app stores on PC moving towards being silos is very worrying and harmful to consumers, but it's still a great deal better than what happens in competitive device-specific markets. Unless people like buying 3 separate gaming devices to get access to every console game that's released.

That many apps are available for both Android and iOS really has more to do with a lack of competition and a set of consumer expectations about availability than it has to do with platform management. There was a period where most PC games only released on Steam, too. But I personally enjoy being able to opt out of that store/DRM in favor of stores like Itch/GoG without losing access to every single new game that gets released. And I think my consumer choices have generally increased with the addition of newer storefronts that offer me different features that Steam refuses to offer.

It's easy to talk about the harms of fragmentation when you're happy with the status quo. But nobody who grew up protesting Steam's DRM is unhappy that more PC stores exist now, even if the market is more fragmented. And I similarly suspect that the people arguing that more choices on the iPhone would be bad for consumers are people who are happy with the app selection already, they're probably not the people who are frustrated that apps like NewPipe, Firefox, or emulators can only be accessed by moving to a completely separate ecosystem and buying a new device.
It's less vague than you realize. It points out that the problem was within Facebook's network between its datacenters. This not only suggests it's related to express backbone, but also suggests that the DNS BGP withdrawal which Cloudflare observed was not the primary issue.

It's not a full root cause analysis, to be sure, and leaves many open questions, but I definitely wouldn't describe it as painfully vague.
90% of people in the US could fill out their taxes by hand in less than 5 minutes. It's <12 lines on a one page form (1040-EZ) and half of those won't even apply to everyone.

Yes, the IRS could do even this for you, but there's a myth that US taxes are always monstrously complicated that everyone likes to perpetuate:

1) The tax companies like it because it keeps people scared of doing it themselves

2) Tax reform advocates like it because it's they can cluck and shake their head at the corrupt government and tax companies

3) It _can_ get complicated if you have a complicated tax situation
Cloudflare can scratch the surface of the issue it wouldn't matter, it is a content marketing piece after all. Facebook, otoh, needs to be thorough.

I think curiosity is strongly related with play. Might be that the motivator behind these things are the same substrate or mechanism? I don’t know.

What I do know is that I have what you call trait curiosity. For me it feels like a drive, but it can be quite chaotic and distracting, so I have to kind of funnel it, give myself deliberate time to follow it (play) and time where I push it aside.

The latter takes a ton of energy and discipline sometimes. It’s work.

Edit: I‘m pretty sure I get a ton of value out of my curiosity though. Task at hand curiosity I guess? Not sure If I understand what you’re saying.

Every country has its own tax laws, impossible to implement and to use. Plus politicians keep changing the tax laws all the time.

This perception is what keeps a lot of tax preparation companies in business. I know people who could fill out their taxes in 10 minutes, who would instead pay hundreds of dollars every year to have it done by one of those “tax stores.” If US high schools would spend one day to walk kids through filling out a tax return, they’d probably put H&R Block out of business. Which is also why it’s won’t ever happen.

Same here in France, there's a website with a multi-stage form, with fields for various things ( revenues, deductions, etc.). Everything they know (revenues from employment, self-employment, investments via French entities, etc.) is pre-filled, you just have to check it, and if something is missing you add it. For 90% of people it's a matter of next-next-check this value with my payslip-next-next.
This is quite interesting. As a theorist, I have 100% confidence in inflation. The problem of inflation is that there are too many variations on the idea, if we can begin to throw away at least some classes of models it is a big progress. But probably we will start seeing lots and lots of new models producing small r ratios ;-)
Yeah, also a chance some eng from AWS/GCP/Azure leaks actual details if they lie or if public statements are inadequate.
In some ways they are for consumer products. There is some percentage of people that won’t buy at all without the option. Then a much bigger percent that will still buy but prefer to use PayPal if you give the option.

Why Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram had outages
>> And those pathways are almost never used

I used signal this morning to talk to a team of 100+ people on a big project. I sent an encrypted email to my parents last night. A month ago I used Tor to bypass a hotel's silly DNS block on "Torrentfreak.com". My laptop is running a linux distro that I downloaded as a torrent. These are all everyday non-cryptonerd activities that leverage very powerful security products.
Will that work particularly well since PayPal also adopted crypto? They have the money and resources to out-maneuver any weaker attempts at using crypto to displace them.
BGP operates on the principle of using the 'most specific prefix', basically if all else is equal, a route covering fewer IPs is more specific and should be used.

When the announcement is revoked, you fall back to a less specific prefix if present, or your default route.

If you've got a full BGP table, then you tend not to have a useful default route (you should have specific routes for everything) and it might be useful to fallback to the last known value. But many participants have an intentional default route and then get announcements for special traffic --- dropping the announcement would mean to send it on the default route instead. It's hard to know what the right thing to do is, so better to do what you were told by the authority.

DNS is a bit different, but again, the authority told you to use some data and how long to keep it (ttl), if they're not there to tell you a value again later, what else can you do but report an error? Some DNS servers have configurable behavior to continue using old data while fetching new data or when new data is unavailable.

But the expectation is if you can't keep your BGP up and your DNS up, your server probably isn't up either. Note that in this case, bypassing DNS and going to the FB Edge PoPs that were still network available (because of different BGP announcements, that weren't withdrawn) resulted in errors, because they weren't able to connect to the upstream data centers. (Or so it seems)
You have what is unfortunately a common misunderstanding of the term protected class. Nobody is IN a protected class, because protected classes are not any particular group of people, like middle class or working class. In the civil rights act of 1964 protected classes are the classifications that the law refers to such as race, religion, etc. So it is illegal to discriminate against someone because of their religion, but it does not protect any religion over any other. For race, race itself is the protected class. So it is illegal to discriminate against anyone based on race, not just black people or Asians, for example.

Well now in retrospect, Cloudflare claims to have enabled SERVFAIL caching to mitigate, and other commenters here say their ISPs did similar. You might want to overthink the negative caching strategy.
If you compare Facebook's uptime vs Reddit it is no contest. Granted, it isn't as widely used compared to Facebook Login, WhatsApp etc. but still it's impressive
I'm surprised not to see any mention of Feynman. He's my go-to example of a person not exceptionally intelligent, but an incredibly advantageous combination of intelligent and extremely curious. At that level of curiosity, he was never satisfied with his own explanations, because there were still "holes" in what he wanted to be a perfectly continuous story about how things worked -- how everything worked.

X Is Better than Being Y? X:Y - Apples:oranges, Creativity:rational, etc.

"Smart" is a point-in-time inference by a perceiver as an impression of a performant interaction. The reality is messy: multidimensional, inconsistent, and relative.

"Curiosity" alone has no value without intelligence to navigate ambiguities, reconcile new data, and propose new inductions and deductions.
In the tweet's case also, if Whatsapp were split from Facebook, Facebook's BGP failures wouldn't have taken it down, so the decentralization has robustness benefits even if you ignore the market benefits.

In some European countries you get fined based on your income. So if a billionaire is caught speeding he can get a speeding ticket for millions of dollars.

This isn't about him. It's about the company the proved negligent. Had the amount been lower they would have just moved on and added it as "the cost of doing business". The Jury did this strictly for punishment. They also want other companies to see this verdict, settle and get their act together. It was 2015 and an employee complains about sexual harassment or racism... You should have listened. At least you will from now on. This is on Tesla.
FWIW, although I only ever got to do very little pair programming (and it's long ago now), from all I heard about it (and the way it worked for us when we used it), I've got the same impression as regularfry and twic: It's at least as much about the actual code produced as any knowledge transfer.

Seems to me that it has suffered the same fate as so many other original "Agile" practices: The image of them nowadays is gravely distorted, sometimes to the extent of being a caricature, of what they originally meant.
