The tl;dr:

“Pool-party” attacks
work by manipulating pools of browser resources which are
limited (i.e., the browser restricts how many of the resource
websites can open or consume) and unpartitioned (i.e.,
different contexts consume resources from the same pool). While
the examples focused on in this work utilize limited-but-unpartitioned pools of network connections, browsers include
many other limited-but-unpartitioned resource pools that could
be similarly exploited, such as pools of file handles, subprocesses, or other resource handles.

A “pool-party” attack occurs when parties operating in
distinct contexts (contexts the user expects to be distinct and
blinded from each other) intentionally consume and query the
availability of the limited resources in a resource pool, to
create a cross-context communication channel. Each context
can then use the communication channel to pass an identifier,
allowing each party to link the users behavior across the two
contexts. We note again that most commonly the two contexts
considered here are two different websites running in the same
browser profile, but could also be the same (or different)
websites running in different browser profiles.
I’d love to see a reference where Apple or anyone else says their products are cheap. It might be possible to argue they are good value for various reasons such as long product lifetimes, but that’s not the same thing as cheap.

> An M1 can't be both entry level and better than high end models at the same price tag, at the same time (that's what they say).

I have no idea what you’re referring to. Apple has some laptop models that are less expensive, I might even say cheaper, than others. That’s just comparing them relative to other Apple products though. The MacBook Air is cheaper than a MacBook Pro, that’s not the same thing as saying it’s objectively cheap relative to laptops generally. These are the entry level products in the MacBook product range.

You can get capabilities from even the low end M1 MacBooks that you can’t get from even very expensive notebooks from other manufacturers. You can get faster notebooks elsewhere, or lighter notebooks, or… actually no, you can’t get notebooks with better battery life anywhere else. However you can’t get the combination of lightness power and battery duration of even a low end M1 MacBook anywhere else at any price. That can absolutely make it better than more expensive models from other manufacturers in ways some people find very important.

Like I said, the VAERS site.

> The response to Covid and vaccine insanity has been ultra overblown.

Last year the UK ran short of mortuaries and body bags.

On several occasions, hospitals have been unable to meet demand in various different ways, from beds (meaning staff for them rather than literally beds), to oxygen.

> I had a family friend that shot himself in a hunting accident. Drove himself to the hospital bleeding, didn't make it 24 hours. Tested positive for Covid. Labeled covid death.

My condolences.

But it works both ways: If he’d had a recent vaccine instead of a covid infection, that would be listed on VAERS as correlated to the vaccine, from what I gather.
Another way to phrase this is that in old languages, static types were added for the compiler, while in modern languages they are added for the developers (specifically, the teammates of the developer).

This is why hybrid typing is so prevalent nowadays, as you don’t need to satisfy any internal need of the compiler, but you can still keep the documentation of models and interfaces that static typing gives, where desired. Performance is usually also a no-factor nowadays unless you have high demands.

On top of this, the only reason JavaScript grew so large was that there was literally no other way to ship code to a user. IE6 was the universe. Nobody wrote code like this by choice. And those unfortunate souls that did still have scars from it. Remember this was also before CI checking every PR for correctness became as common as it is today.

Because of all this, there will not be any “swing of the pendulum” back to the crazy era of untyped PHP, JavaScript without TS or python without mypy. This is something that is here to stay.
He says "Work" and uses it as a synonym for "Career". I'm not sure about anyone else (though having read enough posts on this site, I know I speak for many), there are many kinds of work. I get log off from my job, these days, and play with my son and while he's being put to bed (no mean feat for my wife these days... I'd help if he'd allow it), I crack open the personal Linux box and start in on Rust code with the Bevy engine, for no reason other than self fulfillment.

It's work, of a sort. I'm not sure I'd call it fun. It has ups and downs, but not fun, exactly. There's definitely a learning curve, and some of it might help me in my career, but I kind of doubt it... maybe in the most ethereal sense. All the same, it's work. Probably the most fulfilling work I do all day. But it has definitive goals that are attainable, kind of like the MMO's I used to love playing. I entertain wonderful ideas about selling a product that will never happen and I'm not sure I'd want to do it even if it was a viable product. Being a developer and a salesman/CEO are so vastly different, I wouldn't want to make the switch really. There are days I don't even enjoy managing the small team I do, and they're nice.

I hop on the treadmill or bike, hit the weights in the garage, and I hate them... and that's work. But I do it. That one's practice with a purpose, though, so I'm not sure that gets lumped in.

I know other people who garden like it's their born profession when they get home. It's amazing. People who knit and sew. Hunters who take it to extreme levels and stockpile meat for the year. All of it work, while they still have careers.
And that's true for a limited subset of people lucky to work in a field where the two aspects overlap.

So long as the user can override them. My browser language preference is en-gb but that does not mean that I want to use dd/mm/yyyy date formats. Also someone with a non-English browser preference might nonetheless prefer to use English as the language of the form if they travel outside their home country.

It's not malware if it's voluntarily installed and wanted by the end user, provides a persistent notification indicating that monitoring is occurring, etc. These are the requirements Apple/Google have for parental control type apps.

I also don't want Apple approving apps which can essentially take over everything and eliminate all safety or privacy guarantees... but this developer is also saying that Apple has approved competitors of the same nature.

I don't know how accurate the fine details are, but this story in its broad outlines seems very unfair and capricious.
You might call in a consultant as a "technical therapist", to talk over your decisions and issues, technical challenges in the company, etc. That's a lot of what they do. If you're feeling lack of confidence, does that mean things have been going wrong? Alternatively maybe there are some engineers in your company who you can trust having those sorts of conversations with.
> I mean the empirical evidence alone seems point at the Unix Philosophy not actually being popular in practice. GNU tools are much more widely used on boxes humans interact with than BSD/busybox.

I think that I can present an even better piece of empirical evidence (not to diminish the poignancy of your own):

Almost no large or successful piece of software is composed of Unix command-line utilities.

Firefox, Linux, gcc, Visual Studio Code, Windows, Chrome, Google services, Discord, Spotify, Blender, GIMP, Apache, Slack, Office, Steam, Matrix/Element...almost every single non-trivial piece of software in existence is not composed out of Unix shell utility pipelines.

"Do one thing well" allows you to do one thing well, tautologically - but it doesn't allow you to do many things well. The fact that Unix utilities compose at a very superficial level is irrelevant, because the use of text as an interchange format is such a heart-stoppingly bad idea (consider a programming language where the only type is a string - you wanna write a web server in that?) that it renders Unix tools near-useless for building larger tools (as evidenced by the fact that nothing is made with them), and only useful for immediate interactive use, and building small scripts with (that would already be better served by a real programming language).

The Unix Philosophy is self-contradictory. "Do one thing well" is meant to enable composition, for building larger programs - but "Text is the universal interface" is in direct opposition to building larger programs. But, because tools are only supposed to do one thing well, they're feature-impoverished and not very useful on their own, so you have to compose them. You're screwed either way.
I guess you could put it like that.

I told you before several times, I’m not going to repeat myself again.
As CTO, your primary responsibility is leadership, so assuming you have other development staff, your Principle Engineer/Senior Architect/Lead Developer (or multiples of these in a larger organization) should be providing you with technical options. Your job should be to weight the pros and cons of each within a larger perspective of resource impacts and return on investment. The technical solutioning should be delegated and then affirmed by your direction.

If the CTO title is more ceremonial (or your organization is very small) and you are actual performing the role of the most senior developer, know that there is no “right” solution to any software development task. Any working solution outweighs any theoretical optimal solution. The only real metric that matters is that each time you make a decision that it is better than the last one; where better is an amalgamation of (personnel * knowledge * skills * metrics ) / time available.

So don't buy/install it. But don't take away that choice from other people. I have a good married friend who uses parental control software on himself to reduce the temptation to look at porn. It basically just gives his wife access to his browsing history. Sure, he could bypass it a number of ways if he was really determined, but it's more about just raising the level of effort required so that impulsive usage is mitigated.
This is a great idea, and I hope they will be able to scale it beyond UCB/Stanford/UCSF. A little cynically, I wonder whether PIs at these #1-ranked universities in CS/Medicine actually need an additional funding program since they are probably doing just fine with NSF/NIH and other existing funding agencies. On the other hand they are offering more services than your typical funding agency (planning to help with spin-outs, etc). Also being geographically close together and being near the valley all make sense from the POV of quickly pushing research from academia to industry.
> Both religious and non-religious memes can be bad at the same time.

As a framework for society at scale, Christianity gave us the western world as we know it. It gave us abolition of slavery at a time when belief in the equality of people was a religious belief that couldn't easily reconciled with the self-evident disparities in the level of development of different civilizations. Atheism gave us eugenics, communist horrors, etc.

Your point is correct on its face, but the fact is that people will believe in some framework or another.
Could you give any examples? It is definitely true that people are often portrayed as "weird dudes acting alone", however it is much rarer that that is actually true.

They’re typically, fairly young, fresh out of school, probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python.

Something I believe, but can't really prove is that this is completely wrong and there's very little about the need for "work" that's socially determined. We are biological creatures that evolved under very specific circumstances. And "work" in the most basic sense is a big part of that. We need to be struggling to feed ourselves (or simulating it) -- every day. Most of us wither and die when that need is removed.
