I would assume that trying to get a bounty means accepting that you're not selling the vulnerability elsewhere. No maybe the shadiness inherent in the field means no one trusts that agreement anyway, but I suspect there's generally some amount of trust for researchers submitting vulnerabilities, particularly if they have some kind of history of good faith.

Also, I'm not sure that saying "we have discovered a deeper problem that here beyond what you reported" really delivers much information beyond perhaps telling the researcher to keep investigating (although if they're already getting the bounty, the additional investigation wouldn't really be useful).
Its also an effect of people getting news from social media and free websites. The journalists used to do this but all got laid off.
Adrenaline rushes are addictive, and free. Enjoy them! Being terrified on stage is what makes me want to do it. Once you lose this feeling, being on stage loses its appeal. Trust me, it happened to me. It sucks.
Section 230 protects Amazon from this. They could still go after Amazon if they believe Amazon is negligent in fake user review controls. On paper I think Amazon probably does a lot, but probably not enough.
Okay, so the policy questions are interesting, but I have a technical question: How are they handling kernel compatibility? Even with DKMS API breakage could be brutal, and Valve supports Arch as a first class target so they can't just stick to a stable/old version (it'd be easy with RHEL and doable with Ubuntu, but Arch?).
The whole "super intrusive anti-cheat" thing is really annoying to me as a non-competitive player, who just plays games like CoD, CS, etc occasionally with friends. And not just academically annoying, but practically too. I used to run Windows virtualised under Linux with a PCIe passthrough GPU. I remember having to re-install windows directly on my machine at a LAN party once because CS:GO couldn't be run in a VM anymore :(

I think there's a solution that would let wood-tier players like myself avoid this kind of intrusive software, whilst keeping higher-level play clean though.

- Implement server-side anticheat detection, that will ban things that look like bots. As other commenters have noted, bots are indistinguishable from good humans from the outside. So, the server-side detection would ban both bots and good humans

- Have _opt-in_ client side anticheat detection. If you have this enabled, then you're exempted from the server-side detection. So, you enable this if you're actually good.

Could even make this part of the ranking mechanics. Maybe you _can't_ enable the client-side anticheat until the server-side one thinks you're sus. Then you get prompted to turn on the client-side support and get a cool badge or something.
Peer review is a fundamental tenet of science.
I agree with your assessment that name calling is both presumptuous and unproductive. However, I also think you (perhaps inadvertently at an attempt at comedy) set that tone by assuming that everyone who disagrees with your setup is cranky. There are certainly conversations on here which GPT-3 could predict with striking accuracy, but there are usually good counterpoints interspersed throughout.

In any event, I’m loathe to go down the “election ethics” rabbit hole but I would like to a) reformulate the critique into questions as you’ve asked and b) relate it to your current project.

I find it difficult to believe that you think it’s okay to knowingly sway an election through an apparatus like Facebook. Additionally, Facebook’s ability to do so has already been established by prior research published in Nature:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11421

Since the experiment was simply to increase voting, it was arguably neutral. However, the implication is certainly that an election can be swayed. All you’d have to do is remind one candidate’s base to vote and not the other.

It could be “ethical” to explore nefarious uses of Facebook in order to develop mitigations much in the same way people have talked about gain of function viral research. But, I think what makes your endeavor particularly dubious is the focus on beating Trump.

1) Given FB’s own prior research, what made the answer to your research so valuable that it required pushing generally agreed upon ethnical norms?

2) Given that FB (to my knowledge) does not have an IRB, can you describe what processes you used to make sure you stayed within an ethical framework and to that end, what the framework was?

This is related to your current endeavor because you are asking us to sign in with an organization who also has a, shall we say, “fluid” definition of what “evil” means in their guiding ethical framework which is to “not be”. Ethics aside, it is an organization that already has the ability to triangulate an enormous data from a number sources into an immense amount of power.

So, between your election work and Google’s record, if people are “cranky” it’s probably due to the fact that, as someone astutely pointed out to me once, past behavior is a good predictor of future behavior.

3) So then, how do you plan to establish trust in order for people to use our product?
Technically, no. If they flew in and attacked, that would be.
Whether there is an explicit biblical condemnation (I don't know, but I would be surprised if there weren't) is not relevant, at least not to a Catholic. Sola scriptura is the province of Protestants.

Here is a list of Biden's lies over the last 10 months.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.courier-journal.com/amp/591...

Which shows you everyone is lying to you no matter what side you are on. Better than the other guy means you are still being fooled. Rep and Dem are two sides of the same coin. It reminds me of a Simpsons halloween episode where the Rep and Dem candidates are replaced with two Aliens and when the truth is uncovered voters were stuck with a choice between an alien Rep or an alien Dem who would enslave all humans or voting for a human third party candidate. The ending scene shows humanity enslaved with Homer saying he voted for the other alien.
Answer - it's NOT sustainable. But then again neither is US healthcare costs in general... They'll continue to march upwards and onwards until the entire country finally goes bankrupt and then (and ONLY THEN) will real change happen. Covid (and health care staff covid burnout) has just accelerated this issue... Welcome to American healthcare - most expensive healthcare in the world for the 18th best ranked system....

This is ridiculously awesome. But I can’t do graphics. Can we use AI to generate graphics based on the descriptions, and do it in pixel art style?
I can't think of a single Windows-only app that I want to run. Ninety nine percent of Linux software is easy to port to Windows if it hasn't been already. And everything that is worth porting from Windows to Linux, licenses and all besides, already have been as well.

These are both modern operating systems, so you won't find many things missing if apps are the only criteria.

This is definitely meant to allow Linux users more capabilities on Windows. The fact that Microsoft is treating WSL and Powershell in the same way is illuminating. It's not meant to turn Windows users into Linux fans. I can't even imagine what they could do to make either one OS that awe inspiring to the other. You either need what the one operating system provides, or you need what the other provides, at the OS level. If you don't know about or how to search out those differences, you aren't the audience. The available apps are meaningless since all the good ones are already across the board.
Neat, I forgot about this. Thanks!

Theoretically an independent could get enough support to form a party that could win. My point is that at least the system is structured that such an outcome could happen over time, or that the process of this happening forces major parties to adapt to the prevailing winds against their ideologies. In a strict two party system you get systematic pressure towards polarisation, rather than a more bumpy road to some sort of consensus that is apparently easily manipulated by media.
Stories like this aren't representative of reality.

Obviously, when you coverage such as this, it tends to focus on outlandish examples such as this guy who has poured an absolute fortune into his stereo system.

It's the same way with any hobby. If somebody has two cats, it's not news. If they have fifty cats, it's news. Those kinds of cat owners obviously exist but they are on the fringe. Replace "cats" with "cars" or "guitars" or any other thing you like.

There is a growing trend of objectivism in the audio hobby. Performance can be measured in objective ways and it turns out that generally speaking, it's all just signal reproduction and the more accurately you do this, the better it sounds. An objectively well-performing system can be put together for just a few hundred USD at retail prices.
I was a little confused about this as well - until I realised they don't actually specify that this is the Linux kernel. I suspect what they're talking about here is the Windows kernel.
Recently, no I have not. Hence the question. I have to admit that while I read things get worse, it keeps shocking me.
> The second rule of Extra is that it must be aligned with your Normal Work.

Yeah advice from a different old programmer: do stuff that isn't aligned with your Normal Work, and restrict how much you're working on Normal Work to the point you're not constantly burned out and have no ability to do other stuff.
that is really cool!! but the flippers are a teeny bit sluggish, screws up my timing on some stuff I know how to do (gotta love gravity well)
> would assume that trying to get a bounty means accepting that you're not selling the vulnerability elsewhere

Having an e-mail from the company confirming the bug is serious and systemic massively raises its market value. Security is necessarily trust less. These game dynamics are unavoidable.
How did you conclude that it killed more people than the Chernobyl explosion?
The only FPS I play is NS2 and cheating seems like less of a problem than what people are describing in these comments. I wonder if it's because you play on community-run dedicated servers and not some opaque matchmaking system. This allows admins to kick cheaters at their discretion.

This is the equivalent of forums vs. Facebook. The moderation on well-run forums is better than what Facebook can offer because it's done by real humans.
Random thought: before the Internet were reviews any better? I know there were/are quality reviews like Consumer Reports and such. But were there any crowdsourced reviews?

Are we worse off or are we just needing to protect people from their inability to scrutinize a new source of bad data?
If anyone here played Modern Warfare 2 on PC when it released, you know this is about 13 years late :)

While I don't like kernel level anti-cheat, its hard to disagree that its better than nothing and also hard to deny that cheating in competitive realtime multiplayer PC games isn't a huge problem.
Facebook has a history of screwing advertisers ("want your page to show up in people's feeds? Get more follows, here's how to buy ads targeting that", then one year later "we've decided to downgrade pages in people's feeds"...), bankers (their IPO pricing), and essentially everyone they have a business relationship with. I'd expect them to stretch the truth as far as they can get away with.
no way to reliably prove if review is fake or not. nothing to stop someone from having friends and family leave positive reviews or just make multiple accounts. If someone leaves a glowing review for a shitty product, then technically it is still real.
It isn't really Amazon that does it though, it's the sellers on Amazon.

Although it would be interesting if there were ever fake reviews on the Amazon branded products. (AFIK there aren't)
>Even if kernel anti-cheats worked perfectly, they still wouldn’t be able to detect newer hardware based cheats which run entirely on a second PC leaving nothing for a kernel level anti-cheat to detect.

If it got to this point, to continue your metaphor, the mouse is nearly extinct. The point is not to eradicate cheating, it's to stop the bleeding. Valorant cheats don't even have to do this btw (really only necessary for incredibly extreme cases, see lohousedev and sparkles' video)

Do you know how easy it would be to stop 90% of cheating, at least for a few weeks, in CSGO? It's so easy I figured it out by dumping cvars with a server plugin when I was 14. There is zero way for a legitimate player to have certain cvars set, only a cheat would; yet, cheating is still a massive problem in CSGO.

VACnet has been actually really good, so I agree that that's a better avenue. In addition I am still against kernel AC's (speaking as a legit player, not as an ex-cheater). But the cat-and-mouse game is effectively over if 95% of the mice die.

Valorant's cheating is NOWHERE NEAR csgo. Someone I know on Valorant's AC team actually said they're ramping up (vaguely) so fingers crossed?
I don't know how many kids have a 15 year old for a teacher.

EDIT: I misspoke & meant "I don't know how many kids have just a 15 year age gap with their teacher". Not sure why this was flagged though.

The point I was trying to make is that it's generally rarer in the US/Canada for a teacher and student to only have a 15 year gap. Tenure rules for unions & generally increasing class sizes means there's comparatively few new teachers entering the profession straight from college. Younger teachers also have a high attrition rate because of pay, the difficulty of the job, lack of support across the board, dealing with parents, etc. Having just a 15 year age difference with a teacher that continues to be a teacher and mentor in your life throughout for an extended period of time from then on seems extremely rare these days. So I was trying to provide color why the statement "It's funny how, as a student, your teacher seems like a real adult person from a completely different generation. But I guess after you fast-forward a few decades, the difference becomes pretty trivial." may be overlooking differences from when this relationship was formed.
> Google, Pepsi, and others who are unlikely to be involved in this are there too

It's possible for big companies to "be involved" via third parties. For instance, Big Company pays Big Agency, who allocates some spend to Unscrupulous Digital Marketing Firm or Shady Digital Advertising Service.

This doesn't mean that Big Company intentionally engaged in bad behavior but on the other hand, big companies tend to work with so many third parties that "hear no evil, see no evil" and plausible deniability are built in to their operations.
What's truly wild to think about is how eagerly and relatively easily humans completely shaped nature to our desires until recently, and now an uncomfortably large number of people today think any obvious harm being done to the planet is completely natural and humans are too small and insignificant to be a factor.

We went from being a few steps away from actively melting the Arctic, to people saying humans couldn't possibly melt ice.
My initial post wasn't phrased very well; my apologies. I edited it for (hopefully) increased clarity.

You are absolutely correct. In an acoustically refined setting such as this (or, with a nice pair of headphones) the differences between vinyl and digital would be more obvious.

However, in a more typical residential setting with background noise and non-ideal acoustics the differences are masked and mooted to a large extent.
It's sad to watch how the quality of Western academia has been declining steadily in the past couple of decades.

Open mindedness and free thinking are not allowed or else the cancel crowd will get you.

Ganging up on someone with different views simply to eliminate them from the discourse became the new way to promote the only correct set of opinions.

My children will go to a uni in few years and I'm completely terrified by the amount of nonsense or straight out lunacy in growing parts of academia these days.
It just changes complexity. The difference between a container on bare metal where the target is an adjacent application (or container image), and a container inside a vm where the target is an adjacent application on the host (or inside a vm/vm+Container) the attack chain includes a container breakout and* a hypervisor breakout, which is harder to do, but probably not beyond highly sophisticated threat actors.
I imagine large-scale slander campaigns in the form of fake reviews was probably much more difficult, costly, and risky prior to the internet.
Some have also claimed that PTO's are the precursor to likely (mass) resignations too.

It reminds me of a line from Flash Gordon when Emperor Ming says

Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.

Not sure I really see this as an issue of being open-minded. Her views are completely conventional, albeit outdated. They are, however, obsolete by the standards academia which has a more sophisticated view of gender.
In what way is the Aztec empire prehistoric? You mean they feel old because they were primitive relative to Europe at the time? But that is known history, Europe were so far ahead technologically that they managed to conquer the whole world starting with Columbus and ending at WW2. We are living at the end of that era now, we still see the effects of Europe and its colonies dominating world politics but it is getting weaker.
Well, it seems that I've missed an obvious optimization with 256-bit store:

_mm256_store_si256((void*)(ws_out + x * 4), _mm256_permute2x128_si256(out1, out2, 0x20));
_mm256_store_si256((void*)(ws_out + x * 4 + 32), _mm256_permute2x128_si256(out3, out4, 0x20));
_mm256_store_si256((void*)(ws_out + x * 4 + 64), _mm256_permute2x128_si256(out1, out2, 0x31));
_mm256_store_si256((void*)(ws_out + x * 4 + 96), _mm256_permute2x128_si256(out3, out4, 0x31));

Unfortunately my machine (i7-7700) can't run anything beyond AVX2.
If you can overcome "political issues with weaponization", then can't you burn the waste in a breeder reactor and be way more efficient?

My impression is that it adds many orders of magnitude to how long the available uranium will last.

We had video evidence of those Convington kids and then found out the part shown was a section that didn't tell the story. Video has been shown and edited a bit too much lately. It's not the shown video but what isn't being shown that is often the problem.
I didn't say "global" because I just wanted to talk about airlines. It's not even just about economics. It's about our entire global civilization where every time resilience comes up against some other value, usually but not always money, it gets pushed aside. It's a class of problem that manifests at almost every scale. Think about just-in-time inventory for manufacturing: way more efficient, but any hiccup in any supply chain might cause the whole thing to snarl, with more downstream effects. You'll start to see it everywhere.
Obsidian is found everywhere, it wouldn’t be an unknown substance. Also damage in transit can’t be fixed -> incentive to carve at destination.

There's a whole fraud economy that has emerged in the last decade or so. Its existence has done deep harm to social trust, in my opinion. It extends far beyond just fake reviews of course; it reaches deep into the corrupt business practices and politicians/governments around the world.
This probably sounds pedantic but…they are terrible for drivers but they are good for cars. They are designed for cars not drivers effectively. They suck at vehicle throughout in a broad sense but they are theoretically more efficient than the other design options available.

The pramaterizarion is largely around the dynamics of the cars not human behavior. It’s the over algorithmization of decision making. It’s like YouTube radicalizing people by showing them videos that increase engagement. It’s not intentional in a strict sense, it’s just mindless adherence to a process without thinking.
So you discourage FB employees from leaving the company because no one will hire them for 1 year? That doesn't sound like a wise idea.
Texas has 9,000 surplus ICU patients due to COVID-19 [0] (not total patients, not cases, ICU patients). This is, predictably, causing a nursing shortage. In addition, nurses are resigning due to no effective public health measures to stop the spread -- half the state is unvaccinated, masks are not worn and the mandate is not enforced (by personal experience). As a bonus, some nurses are resigning because they themselves refuse the addition of the COVID-19 vaccination to the list of required nursing vaccinations.

While there are absolutely structural issues, there were the same structural issues two years ago -- this is an acute crisis due to the amount of new "healthcare consumers".

People either got their reviews from quality, trusted third parties like Consumer Reports, or they got reviews from friends.

It would be pretty expensive to bribe consumer reports, and it isn't as cost effective to pay someone to give fake recommendations to their friends as it is to pay for fake recommendations on a website. Although some companies do that; it is called multi level marketing.
