> My recollection of the election when Breed won was there was one Republican, and I don’t think he got many votes.

There were two Republicans, and the one that got more votes (both first preference and total, since it was an IRV not first-past-the-post election) of the two wasn’t a “he”. (The one that got fewer votes was the one endorsed by most local Republican institutions.)

But if you are thinking of her 2019 reelection in the regular election and not the 2018 special election…

The other candidates were (in order of most to least final votes)

Ellen Lee Zhou (R) – the leading Republican from the special election

Joel Ventresca (endorsed by Green Party, subsequently ran in the gubernatorial recall as a Democrat)

Paul Ybarra Robertson (no apparent party affiliation)

Wilma Pang (previously Peace and Freedom, but not sure if that was current in 2019)

Robert L. Jordan (a "street minister" with no apparent party affiliation)

> Ideally there would be multiple Republican and Democratic candidates

There were in the open seat election where Breed was first elected; there was one of each in the regular election where she was reelected.

But San Francisco has 316k registered Democrats, 137K registered with no party preference, 33K registered Republicans, and 15K registered with other parties. Expecting symmetry between the nationally major parties in San Francisco is silly. Many individual factions within the Democratic Party are larger, in terms of electorate, than the Republican Party in SF, and the ratio in support between the Democratic and Republican parties is smaller than that between the Republican and American Independent parties and almost the same as that between the Republican and Libertarian parties.

> I recall the two other popular Democratic candidates competing with Breed banded together (don’t remember what that meant exactly, I think they were recommending voters to vote for both of them in their ranked choices) and their platform for dealing with homelessness was to give them all cleaning supplies and have them clean the streets of SF, thereby killing two birds with one stone

That…didn’t happen. None of the major Democrats either banded together or had a platform like that. (There were some institutional cross-endorsements for Breed and Leno.)
you are building a counter stance to drive a point that aims to maximize the covid problem.

you can fight reality with fearmongering and projection, but facts don’t care. hospitals are only irregularly overwhelmed because of greed, not covid. the people dying are overwhelmingly likely to have a comorbidity, and the virus doesn’t care about our hysteria over masks and political misguidance when it kills them. we know that if we do exactly the wrong things, the pandemic and the panic is prolonged for maximal mediopolitical benefit.
They already address that in a different (the first in the same list) bullet-point:

The vaccines will cause you to be sick, spread the virus, or would be more harmful than getting COVID-19.

So you are claiming this poorly worded point is just a duplicate of a more directly worded point?
I'd recommend not entirely dismissing web work as an option. If you do web work, there will be so many more jobs available to you. The work may not be as exciting in some cases. However, it is still good, well paying, work. The work may be less stimulating overall, but I think it's also less stressful. Which gives me more energy for other things in my life that I value more. There's more to life than work.

NDA - Company Wants Ownership of Every Idea or Invention I've ever had
I'm being asked to sign an NDA that says that

"..all discoveries, ideas, inventions, improvements, enhancements, processes, methods, techniques, developments, software and works of authorship, whether patentable or not, which were created, made, conceived or reduced to practice by the Employee prior to the Employee’s employment by the Company and which are or were owned by the Employee, which relate directly or indirectly to the current or anticipated future business of the Company have been assigned to the Company (collectively, “Prior Developments”) and (ii) to the extent not previously assigned to the Company, assigns all right, title and interest in and to all the Prior Developments to the Company."

So, every idea I've ever had?

Is this legal?
I dont even know what you are trying to say.
At most, moderately higher risk, and that's assuming 100% would get covid (just like the government wants 100% to take the vaccine). You can't compare infection vs vaccine if only 50% would ever have caught Covid (without even counting children with previous infections who are practically guaranteed to never be hospitalized from it), while 100% will get vaccinated; the risk-benefit is likely to shift into the mostly-nefarious territory.

Also keep in mind that risk-of-myocarditis-from-infection is overestimated, because plenty of people are utterly asymptomatic and aren't counted in the stats.

The beauty about conspiracy theories is that #1 the government can never release documents that disprove a conspiracy theory (because they're the government and clearly those documents are an effort to further the cover up) - and independently released information that doesn't align with the theory could always be a government plant - thus see #1.

Fervently believed conspiracy theories die out with their believers or when people get bored.

> "Burden of proof"?

Yes, here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(philosophy)
Sorry, but if Singapore and Japan are your ideas of what liberal reform looks like, I've got a bridge to sell you. The kind of lawlessness you see in American and European cities is shocking to anyone coming from these places.

Both countries are paternalistic, statist societies controlled by right-wing governments since WW2. Singapore's safety comes from harsh punishment for antisocial behaviors, from caning for vandalism all the way to execution for drug trafficking. Japan is a bit softer on this front but strict cultural norms are enforced by society as a whole. They have freedom of speech but start rioting the way BLM did in 2020 and you can expect the government to use a few "emergency powers" with overwhelming support from the public.

Yes, they've implemented a few social safety nets here and there that resemble the welfare system in Western Europe, but they also don't hesitate to use the full power of the state (and public shaming) to crack down on deviant behavior.
Thank you. That gives a chance to think from another perspective about all that grinding.

In the context of Okta it's probably AzureAD. But yes, it's related to Active Directory, you can easily sync the two. It's probably why many companies use it: it's easy to add on to your existing Windows infrastructure.

My client uses it, it works mostly well. It does have its annoying limitations, though, such as no group inheritance and limited support for hardware tokens outside of Windows (no support on Safari/iOS, Safari/macOS, Firefox/Linux).
So why not retract the names and release the documents? It doesn't make much sense.
All orders are handled by CrowdSupply (via Mouser). They handle shipping, VAT, import taxes, etc.

It certainly added cost to the final product, but I figured it was more fair & transparent to everyone to set shipping to $0 internationally (I hate it when you finally make it to payment and only then learn shipping is $20 :/).
Okta uses nearly all the us regions, with older (and larger) customers in us-east-1.

I used to work there and know the internals well. These aws outages must be causing massive chaos there.
> I needed to write an authoritative DNS server

Why not just... use an authoritative DNS server?

> I think I’m doing a pretty bad of following the DNS RFCs

Yeah, probably, which makes this experiment much less worthwhile than just... doing the same thing on an actual DNS host.

BTW, experimentation is no replacement for training/education/experience. Just because an experiment results one way on the computer you're testing with, doesn't mean it will resolve the same way in another browser - or on another OS - or even just on a different ISP(/resolver).

> finding out who owns IP addresses with an ASN database - When a DNS requests comes in, it comes from an IP address. I wanted to tell users who owns that IP address (Google? Cloudflare? their ISP?). The obvious way is to do a reverse DNS lookup. But what if that doesn’t work?

Or just use one of the many databases that exists for exactly this purpose (and are free, like MaxMind's GeoLite ASN). Except, oh wait, you did do that (although with some random, auto-scraped database). Not sure what the point of rDNS is.

> I do a database write every time a DNS request comes in

Why? There's no reason to store that info on disk. As you say, "I could easily clear out old requests every hour and it probably wouldn’t make a difference"

> let’s talk about security

Sure, except you skipped over the "huh, I'm sharing cookies across all these people because I'm not on the PSL". But at least "the website's domain" isn't sharing cookies with 'em too?

Oh, and you also skipped over things like whether or not your roll-your-own DNS server is vulnerable to being used as an amplification vector (probably).

Let me articulate. The lead was about sexism in spacex. then there's a rant about for about half the article on SpaceX not being green. Then an NFT pitch. And YEs NFT's are currently bad for the planet. I was just pointing out if the author cares about the being green they might want to start with the article.

And if the author truly cares about the lead of the article then they might want to stick to the important part. the NFT part at best distracts from the article and probably strains the authors credibility.

The FBI runs sting operations like this all the time where they find dumb big talkers, encourage their little group over beers, and then sell them guns or explosives or whatever and arrest them.

It is a standard covert operations strategy, get a vulnerable person to do it for you and your actions leave very few fingerprints.

Many logical people have decided to abstract away their soul-crushing anxieties and legal gray area during outages to incredibly stable and well-staffed cloud infrastructure providers.

If you and your team are better at taking care of hardware than an entire building full of highly paid engineering specialists, then that's cool for you, but also, no you're not.

That's not to say you're not capable of running on-prem hardware that is stable.

I'm just saying that the high-handed swiping away of everyone else who's made an incredibly safe and logical decision to host their stuff in the cloud makes me question your general vibe.

There's a STTNG episode or two where it becomes known that Captain Picard is just kinda winging it, while looking confident.

Regarding large software systems there almost never one right answer. At times we need to make decisions without perfect knowledge. Some portion of those decisions will be suboptimal of course. Whereby we make more decisions to hopefully improve the outcome. It's the nature of the problem.

That's not incompatible with my point: vaccines are not 100% protection, as medical professional warned us about since before the vaccines were deployed. Household transmission is the worst-case scenario because you're talking about very long periods of unmasked shared airspace, often with poor ventilation, and close contact.

For an employer, this tells you that you can't rely on one thing to prevent spread but the combination of masks, vaccination, air filtration, etc. remains effective.
I mean, lots of people put off doing something expensive but safer just because it’s expensive, but rethink after the consequences show.

There’s a ton of non web dev work at big companies. Anecdotally all my work has been in building data warehouses and data lakes.

Having said that, there will be some cross over with web tech and it’s not a bad idea to start there and end up on the back end of you don’t like it.

I used to work with analytical data that mainly came from mainframes and such with no interaction with the web. Then things changed and I had to understand things like json, restapi etc . For people with a web dev background this isn’t a big deal but for me I struggled a bit adapting.
> just make a decision, any decision.

The nuance here is if you're making a decision that has a gross positive value, then you likely have a large number of "wrongness" choices that still result in a net positive. If you're not sure which of them to take then take any one that has a positive EROI (the ambiguity makes them all appear similar returns). Remember that EROI is marginal so even if you end up in a lossy situation _after_ the decision, so long as it's less loss than before you're net better off than you were.

If you're making a decision which all decisions seem to have a net negative EROI, then there is no opportunity at hand. Keep looking for a real opportunity.

If you look at the change that caused this it was intended that incoming log statements pattern match jndi requests and run those. The only configuration in the change was to specify the pattern match for jndi. There was no intention to run jndi from the configuration, the intention was always to read log statements and run those.

It uses the routing appender that's intended to send logs different ways via string matching and added code that said if the string matching has ${jndi... it should run that jndi code.

The change did what it said it would do. Akin to someone submitting a patch to run eval(log_statment).

That it passed review and was accepted is frightening.

Maybe there needs to be an accompanying/alternative device which can be worn in a shoe and detects toe movements. It would probably have to be wireless, which would introduce false positives or false negatives, (and part of it may need to be attached to the user's ankle, due to size constraints), but it would at least defend against an attacker who could physically restrain the user.
