Not snark, but a serious question: What would one use this for?
I disagree. You can have security bugs in non-connected devices, for example crafted file formats or metadata that can carry executable payload, worms that force their way in though some insecure Bluetooth receiver, or even by infecting the myriad data channels embedded in modern broadcasting; access to such a broadcast stream might be very lucrative since it will give you access to tens of thousands to tens of millions of devices.

I agree that the target is low value and that the attacker will most likely not bother infecting Android TVs; he would need to force them to connect to WiFi to exfiltrate any data, a very complex and unlikely attack if your TV is not used to monitor uranium centrifuge data.

The board can't unilaterally decide the color of the Twitter logo is now green. They can pressure the CEO and threaten to hold a vote to fire him if he doesn't change it, but up until that point the CEO is the ultimate decision maker for the company.

Jack saying he didn't like decisions Twitter made is like if I started complaining that I didn't like the restaurant I chose for dinner.
Only if it's grounded, so that's a step up from the tape.
People forget that Jack was ousted in 2008!
But you're gonna have to eat one of these two dishes, and you can help deciding which ones best, even if both are terrible.

Its like saying: I hate getting vaccinated but I'm not gonna join take part in a society being unvaccinated. But there's only these 2 practical choices. The other ones are niche (e.g. leaving society living in a treehut or a tundra, committing suicide, going to Mars for science -- these kind of extreme outliers).

If I were American (ie. read US citizen), I'd never discount any of the dishes. After all, there's only two practical choices...

..which, despite all the current issues, makes me happy I got more than two in The Netherlands. But it also gives me compassion that Americans, given they only got two. What a system...

How do I even keep track of all this? What if my personal data has been uploaded to some service that I am not even aware is running in the background.

I'd like all that unnecessary code stripped from the browser. (It's like we are going backwards - we seem to have removed browser plugins in favour of bundling everything into a big bloat of a browser ... yeah, I know some of these are "special" firefox addons. The only thing that makes them "special" is that they are bundled into the browser by Mozilla, do not show up in the addons / extension page and cannot be removed like other user-installed addons.).

The simple answer to "why not run this in a web page?" is that I built this tool based on my own needs and I never had any need to run a file system-based tool in my browser.

On the other hand, if I wanted to ship something similar with a built-in editing experience, then I think running it in the browser would be the way to go. The problem I saw there (last time I checked) was that I couldn't write directories of files to the file system from a web page (and I definitely want to store everything in the file system).

From what I can tell, the problem was not caused by DNSSEC directly. It was caused by:

1. A bug in Route 53 which caused wildcard record not to work with DNSSEC signing. Anyone not using Route 53 would not have had any problems with DNSSEC.

2. Slack decided to revert the DNSSEC rollout, but botched the process badly, effectively locking themselves in the trunk and throwing away the key. If they hadn’t tried to revert the DNSSEC rollout, or if they had been a bit more deliberate and careful while doing it, this would not have happened.

Why would I pay more for fake meat than I could pay for the real meat?

imo if vegans want to push their food as a legitimate lifestyle, they should stop trying to imitate meat products. It's a self-defeating premise, an admission that vegan food doesn't taste as good, but "we can make it taste as good as meat with enough hard work and science!"

If you want veganism to catch on, the correct argument is to say, straight up, with full confidence, "this is fully capable of tasting as good or better than meat all on its own!" And working to come up with delicious meals that embrace and utilize the flavors of veggies. Otherwise this will always be second best.

Yup. There was this "follow the whole person!" bullshit on infosec Twitter a while back, and it was just such nonsense. I follow them because I'm interested in their thoughts on computer security, no other reason. I couldn't care less about a security nerd's political opinions; it's just as irrelevant to me as a politician's thoughts on computer security.
Woah bud, slow your roll there. Shaming someone publicly for asking a friend to proofread their work is a terrible thing to do. You have absolutely no right to make that kind of claim, especially with zero real world context. Do you know the author? Do you know the author's relationship with the friend?

This explosive knee-jerk commentary is out of control. Don't project your frustration with your partner's career on other people.
It's not emulating x86: it looks like it's assembling instructions on the fly and executing them in a mmap'd region. In other words, it's a very simple JIT.

But you probably can run it on an M1 anyways, since Apple's Rosetta will do the dynamic binary translation for you under the hood. YMMV.

We integrated Airbyte, Superset (https://superset.apache.org) , and Streamlit (https://streamlit.io/) with our ML platform, (https://iko.ai).

The platform provides real-time collaborative notebooks so people can train, track, package, deploy, and monitor machine learning models on Kubernetes.

Depending on the client and their data sources, our people can get data using Airbyte. Then build dashboards using Superset. They also can deploy a Streamlit application right from the notebook without worrying about spinning up a VM on GCP, set the environment, deploy, add authentication, etc. as the platform does that. They can invoke the deployed models from there.

Especially with projects that move fast, the cycle needs to follow to show results to our clients and we shave off inefficiencies as we go.
Maybe speak for yourself on whether meaning was conveyed correctly and whether the GP's comments were welcome? It seems a bit ironic rebuking someone loftily about their "prescriptivism" while talking like that.

> We live in a time where fancy legal experts and corrupt Supreme Court justices feel inclined to ignore the literal text of our constitution and insist upon erudite legal interpretations that make a mockery of language itself. That some dare to call themselves conservative is a slap in the face to our heritage.

Hear, hear! Anyone with a lick of sense can see that, although the Second Amendment literally says "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed", only an NRA stooge could torture those words into meaning the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Why can't they get in line, and King's English with some respect?

The real, common sense approach is to recognize that the prefatory phrase "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State", clearly indicates that the people have no right to keep and bear weapons of war. Can you imagine? And the words 'well regulated' clearly mean that the work of "ensuring the security of a free state" should occur under the watchful eye of the State! You see the founders, always suspicious of the people, wanted to ensure that the State had the means to alter or abolish them, should they become destructive to their true purpose, which is paying taxes. Hence the militias.

Sometimes I lie awake at night, staring at the ceiling and saying the prefatory phrase aloud to myself, again and again. If I do it for long enough, the syllables begin to meld together, and words and their meanings mix and change, and at those times the one, true meaning of the Second Amendment becomes clear--it's clearly all about hunting.

Any other interpretation is a slap in the face to our heritage!

> Presumably, Slack did DNSSEC (they don't anymore!) in service of FedRAMP compliance. Why? Slack has one of the most popular products in all of computing. What bad thing was going to happen if they said "nah, we're going to go with Cloud.gov's recommendation and not this FedRAMP document"?

As just one example, it's tremendously difficult, if not impossible, to sell your cloud-based SaaS to Navy customers if you have open FedRAMP compliance issues that you aren't at least working to address.

I say "compliance" instead of "security" for a reason as well, as "compliance" truly runs the show in Navy cybersecurity. And if you want to sell to that market (and it's hardly just Navy who runs this way), it's easier to check the checkboxes than it is to argue about whether NIST is right or cloud.gov is right.
I really wish that apps like "just press record" would allow one-touch recording that is sent to my inbox.

> all bitcoin miners could be owned by one person and you would have no way of knowing....

Sure, it's entirely possible that BTC is also centralised and controlled by wales. I was merely suggesting that the reason PoS systems haven't been hacked (much) yet is because the validators are controlled by project owners, so they are really centralised payment systems in disguise.

There's a difference though: buying initial stake in PoS may be similar to buying an ASIC in PoW, but mining a chain has a real cost (electricity) in PoW. In PoS there's no cost to mining, so validators have an incentive to stake all possible forks. There's no way to have consensus on the correct chain, because real resources haven't gone into building one up.

I'm sure you wouldn't use words like "chav" or "bell end" around a group of foreigners, because they are not globally understood.

I would say this "divide" in thought started a couple of centuries ago(at it was very noticeable in recorded history).Even among "type 1", let's take an example: math: you had the so-called fundamentalists that believed in power of measurements and the other who believed in the power of abstract,imaginary,etc.

This also applies to computing later (and still to this day) and pretty much everything else under the sun, including arts/liberal arts, for example: people who believed in the fundamental of beauty, complexity, hand-made craft, and some who would believe in the abstract notions, conveyed messages,etc.(you definitely see this throughout "modern art")

To me,making this distinction seems like the wrong approach.It's good and healthy for this divide to exist (because it's the premise of making something better, advancing a thought, otherwise you stagnate in one worldview) but it's wrong to assume one is better than the other, therefore everyone should adhere to this framework and abandon criticism).Moreover than that, people seem to be afraid to say: "I don't believe that, i think i can do better" when it comes to certain frameworks of thought.You definitely see stagnation on this kind in physics for example.
