The world of espionage is obviously extralegal as it operates in international space. The conflict between intelligence-agency activities, what it is willing to publicly admit, and spillover, is high. I'm not a fan of having my own activities, communications, and information surveilled or influenced. I'm a sufficient realist to accept that that's likely the case, whether by US agencies, its Five Eyes (and other) allies, hostile state and non-state actors, and/or third parties.

US journalism still has a fairly high (note, that is not a synonym for "perfect" or "spotless") reputation throughout the world. It has its faults, but is generally credible and independent. Journalists are not typically accused of, or at risk of being take for, intelligence agencts. (Some are, some have paid with their lives. Again, we're discussing the general case.)

Global US adversaries which have made heavy use of open-channels propaganda, including Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, and other states, typically authoritarian, do not have this benefit. Their press and journalism are inherently suspect, if not openly mocked. Even if information isn't taken to be directly false, it is considered slanted, censored, unduly inflammetory, and/or distraction. (And yes, these labels can all be applied to a degree elsewhere, the question is one of degree specifically.)

We've had specific information that long-term disinformational campaigns are a key role of other intelligence agencies. See especially Yuri Benzemov's comments here regarding KGB disinformation and moreale efforts: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=bX3EZCVj2XA

(The most effective way for any intelligence agency to have a grasp on information is for it to create it in the first place.)

I'm all but certain that there are elements within the US intelligence apparatus which would like to have a direct line on influencing global public discourse. One view is that doing so covertly has greater harm in the long run than operating openly (e.g., "a CIA source says..."), or indirectly --- there may be planted evidence, but it isn't chalnneled through specific journalists or publications directly controlled as assets. I have a suspicion that the PR industry, however, may have something to answer for (on top of what it already does, of course). Though it is inherently suspect already.
Different tornado.
By my teens it was already apparent that IL winters were becoming less snowy, but it was still a slushy+salty mess on the roads.

I still have contact with friends back home and the impression our convos leaves me with is that they're out riding mountain bikes in the winter months my childhood would have had me sledding in a snowsuit.

But maybe it's just irregular and there's lots of icy/slushy road days. I admit I don't pay attention to the weather forecasts back home, it's just passing conversations with old friends combined with what seemed like a trajectory towards increasingly mild winters before I left the state.

One of the interesing things about this story is that there appears to be no consideration of not "updating" to a new Chrome version. The idea of user choice in "updating" is completely absent. Why cannot a user say, "V3 sounds wonderful but I will stick with V2, thank you." A user has a version of a program that works for that user (e.g., with uBlock Origin), and Google can apparently forcibly stop that user from using that working version, through a process of "automatic updates". Users must "accept" updates which makes one wonder Google can pull this off. Does it not rely on user behaviour. By accepting every "update" without question, the user is effectively consenting to being controlled.

Perhaps users will someday "wake up" to realise that so-called updates are not necessarily being remotely installed for their benefit, but for the benefit of someone else. No doubt Google has some parallel construction type explanation why users need V3, but how many folks cannot see that they are letting the fox guard the henhouse.

Perhaps if ads can be blocked, so too can updates. (IME, it's possible.)
I found F# really good at with this -> "wrap around the idiosyncrasies of the underlying imperative".

In the video Paul Phillips elaborates on many subject much better than I could ever do.

I also found the .net ecosystem libraries better, even though there are fewer libraries available.

To be honest with you my social circle of software engineers gave up Scala long time ago and we do not even consider it to try it ever again. Most of the projects we do we simple use Java for JVM (since version 8 there are many useful features that you can use and have relatively terse code that is also easy to read) for the .net ecosystem we use C# of F# depending on how relaxed the engineering team and the stakeholders about it.

For data engineering (ETLs, glue code, etc.) Python works. Since Spark has a Python interface it is also not needed to use Scala there.

For frontend obviously Scala was probably never a serious option.

There is no use for Scala for me or for the companies I work for. The last time I tried Scala it was horrendous. SBT? Seriously? Binary incompatibility between minor versions? I could go on an on of the collection of anti-patterns I have encountered. Since I have limited time and there are a ton of other software environments that we can use and have much better experience why on Earth would I want to waste time on Scala ever again?

own.net is not own.com, it looks to me like they are trying to dupe you into "voluntarily" relinquishing your domain, and will try to argue that the similarities of subdomain, are so much stronger, than the dissimilarities btween root domains that it is damaging and they deserve control over a root domain that has a similar subdomain.

thats a big hunch, and i dont see that going in a good direction at all, for anyone, if my hunch is actually fact, rather than hunch
The fact that Java can download, parse, and load code is the original sin of the runtime. It never made sense and the classloader has been exploitable from Day 1. They need to rip out the whole concept, and RMI needs to be eradicated as well.
It’s most useful if you’ve already learned at least one language with memory management, one with garbage collection, one with static types, one with dynamic types, and maybe one weird esoteric one. Then someone throws you at a project and says “oh btw it’s in Lua” and you’re like “OK, I’ll figure out Lua’s philosophy as I go, right now I need to know how to do array literals, functions and loops so I can get some work done.”

So basically, it’s best thought of as a tool to help intermediate level programmers parachute into foreign territory with some idea of where they’re going.

It doesn't apply universally, but in front end development a large part of the problem is that engineering is not, in practice, the ultimate decider for (all) dependencies. The business/product side often dictates integration with a particular third-party service; those services don't have an option to not use their own SDK, and the SDK itself may come with its own dependencies. To the business side, security risk looks abstract, theoretical, and easy to "it can't happen to me", especially compared to whatever goal is tied to the integration.

Facebook in mobile applications is a perfect example. Not a security issue, but the two crash incidents last year caused some havoc for iOS developers. But as far as I am aware the only way to get Facebook login in your mobile app is to use the SDK, and no product manager on the planet is going to let engineering talk them out of Facebook user support.

Exponential behaviour is hard to understand.

Also, experiments at this size and speed have never been carried out before.

And statistical behaviours are very difficult to understand. First thing: 99.9999% uptime for ALL users is HUGELY different from 99.999%.

As a matter of fact, this was just one of amazon’s zones, rememeber.

Edit: finally, the right model for these systems might well have no mean (fat tails…) and then where do the statistics go from there?
On a semi-related note, I registered a trademark for my company and the .com is just domain squatting. The .com preexists my trademark however. Do I have any grounds to try and claim it or am I SOL.

They're already harassing you under the guise of a legal process. A clock punching attorney won't be emotionally invested in the details of a matter, but the victims of such nastygrams are - the main goal of such letters is to make you stressed and worried so you just cave - hence the corollary of hiring a professional who will handle it impersonally

Two wrongs don't make a right, and it certainly may be imprudent to escalate. But there's no moral ground for them to stand on here - they're in the same category as any other spammer. Furthermore nowhere did OP advocate deliberately expanding the scope to their family. If phone calls at inconvenient-to-them times end up bothering their family as well, it's because they didn't do the work to separate their family from their ugly business.

In general I don't buy into the idea of declaring some times as off limits for phone calls, since society has never given me the same courtesy in the early morning. I'd much rather get calls at 10PM than 10AM, and yet it's somehow acceptable for businesses to return an afternoon call at 9AM sharp and pretend they're doing their best to communicate.
The remote class loading is the most severe part of this but even without that this vulnerability still does things like leak environment variables to arbitrary remote endpoints.

Enterprise software needs infinite features. There is no saying "no" to a feature request on enterprise software. Its OK most of those servers are inside the enterprise only and are extensively firewalled anyway and nobody would do "debugging" logging on a "production" server anyway, that's not very enterprise-y, and professional sysadmins know what they're doing.

Somehow ends up installed on ten million completely unmaintained minecraft servers directly connected to the raw internet with no firewalling and not really any sysadmin skills, then chaos ensues.

>No, tornadoes are definitely very rare in December, when it tends to be too cold for them to form.

I would not go so far as to say 'Very rare.' Even before we started seeing more major impact to our climate due to global warming, winter tornado outbreaks were roughly ~10% of all tornado outbreaks. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/publications/galway/winter.pdf

Spring and fall are definitely the most active seasons for tornados but they occur often enough year round that I think that, at least for the US, you can't say tornados are rarer than 'uncommon' for any time of year.

> AWS started making things more complex than it should

I don’t think this is fair for a couple reasons:

1. AWS would have had to scale regardless just because of the number of customers. Even without adding features. This means many data centers, complex virtual networking, internal networks, etc. These are solving very real problems that happen when you have millions of virtual servers.

2. AWS hosts many large, complex systems like Netflix. Companies like Netflix are going to require more advanced features out of AWS, and this will result in more features being added. While this is added complexity, it’s also solving a customer problem.

My point is that complexity is inherent to the benefits of the platform.

That sounds like an exception that could be easily addressed by adding an additional sign or perhaps in most cases making the rule hold for a maximum of 100 yards or so.

Ok, I will address what you have asked for.

Tracking based Ads generated by Google Ad-words and other networks should cease being viewed by content creators as the "primary source" of revenue, creators need to get creative and come up with better, most lasting revenue sources. Many already have, from direct memberships, merch, first party ads, but I am sure there are other more creative ways to make money

The lazy days of "just toss an adwords tracking cookie everywhere for the fast cash" is over, and I for one will celebrate the death of Ad words and all the other tracking ad networks
That's the maximum bandwidth for narrow SCSI-1, used in anything from Mac Plus to 68030 machines. The external SCSI, a separate bus, is always SCSI-1. Sometimes the internal SCSI is SCSI-2 (some 68040 & PPC Macs). WGS95 had a wide SCSI card (so had 3 separate SCSI busses, narrow, fast, and fast wide).

Reportedly, with any of the SCSI emulators, it is not difficult to saturate a narrow SCSI bus with a 68030 Mac, so... it will do exactly 5MB/s on narrow SCSI in these cases.
we should pay doctors, nurses, and other direct care staff well, not because they’re ‘heroes’ but because they are the literal care providers and we want good care. hospitals, on the other hand, suffer from the same kinds of capital-driven distortionary economics we see all across the economy. i’d also posit that 90% of the medical insurance industry could go away and it’d not affect care outcomes a single iota. none of the admin overhead of insurance is necessary, except for catastrophic insurance.
I’m always a bit surprised when people seem to imply that there’s a fundamental human right to perfectly stable stores of value (if you could even define such a quality), and that the absence of that—inflation, price fluctuation, etc—is somehow unfair.

Gold bugs like to say that “value” is what gold is worth, but if you look at the real value of gold over time—in terms of its ability to be exchanged for things that you might, you know, want—it’s anything but: https://www.macrotrends.net/1333/historical-gold-prices-100-.... Over a number of multi-decade ranges in the last century, a purchase of gold at the start of the period would leave the buyer the poorer at the end of it.

In reality, there just isn’t such a thing as a single “real” definition of “value.” Prices—of commodities, of securities, and, yes, of both fiat and cryptocurrencies fluctuate. A saver who wants to put money away to spend in the future must, unfortunately, make some sort of bet. (Even if such a magical instrument existed, savers who bought it would still be making a bet that the opportunity cost of avoiding growth investments does not outweigh the value of stability!)

Keeping all your savings in crypto—or in fiat, or in gold, or in your employer’s stock—isn’t a fantastic idea. But that’s not because someone is scamming you; it’s because there just isn’t such a thing as “the one true value”, and no asset that allows you to safely track it. That’s life.
