Im not in the security space, but I do work with financial data for small businesses. I’m curious about how people feel about giving their data to third parties.

On the face of it, if you give your company’s financial data to a company, they have very powerful strategic industry information which could be valuable. But on the other hand, if a company like Intuit was discovered selling this data, their online accounting business could evaporate overnight.

The invoice-ocr companies are interesting, because they are collecting company-specific data about an industry, but they are also improving their own algorithms and ML products for the industry.

I’m asking myself if this security firm isn’t providing a similar service when diverse companies share their security, maybe the space is lucrative enough that risking getting caught for shenanigans is not worth it.

I mean, Facebook isn’t getting paid by its users, so their shenanigans are to be expected (though completely unethical if not also immoral).
IMO, you have that backwards. We have lots of tools for plain text languages because it's easier to write tools for a language when it's plain text. Plain text is a blessing, not a curse.

"I'm all for allowing discussion..."

"Are you going to let someone..."

The use of language such as 'allowing' and 'letting' suggests that someone lacks permission until and unless it's granted to them.

If someone expresses a point, supported with evidence and/or reasoning, and is willing to listen to and engage honestly with critics, what grounds would we have to restrict the expression of their ideas?

Well not illegal. It looks like they need to acknowledge and include the OBS license.
One of the legal guidelines for whether or not someone is a contractor (vs an employee) is whether they provide their own tools.

It’s not a hard rule. It’s just one of a number of tests. But contractors are generally expected to provide their own tools.

Maybe the rules should be seen more as guidelines. Something to aim for to allow a broader range of opinions, but not blindly follow to allow literally everything.

In that sense, they're not much different from any other rules about something as subjective as which opinions should be permitted. If you follow them too rigidly, you get absurd results.
That's an interesting word right there.

The term was first brought to the English language by American anti-communist and alleged CIA asset Edward Hunter to trash talk something China was doing to POWs in the Korean war. Prior art didn't call it like that.
Curiously enough, the term is also a transliteration of what Chinese people were calling the phenomenon.

So it is actually a sinophobic loanword from the chinese language, which is _very_ interesting.

Indoctrination in different countries does different things to people.

Docker is amazing for deploying things on servers and i use it extensively - nowadays almost everything on my homelab is containerized since i no longer need to have that many separate VMs anymore...

That said, Docker is also oftentimes a poor option for local development, unless you're talking about external dependencies the app needs (e.g. MariaDB/PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, Redis etc.), or maybe very specific setups that just won't be achievable otherwise (specific userland needed).

For example, when trying to run Ruby/PHP/Node/Python/Java apps in Docker containers, i've run into the following:

- problems with file permissions
- problems with file line endings
- problems with Docker Desktop bind mounts (e.g. directory won't be mounted, path parsed incorrectly etc.)
- problems with Docker Desktop bind mount performance
- problems with networking (e.g. host.docker.internal sometimes refusing to route to non-containerized stuff on the host)
- problems with run profiles (e.g. your IDE + Rails integration just won't work, at best you can just launch a different container/Compose stack with some other parameters)
- problems with test runs and coverage (if you use the IDE integration, though that depends on the stack and how deeply your IDE is integrated, e.g. Java with IntelliJ IDEA)
- problems with remote debugging, breakpoints, flame graphs etc. (most of those either don't work when the code is inside of a container, or need additional setup, e.g. remote debugging, where supported)

In my eyes, whenever possible, develop locally with the native runtimes for the IDE integration etc., use Docker for deployment or maybe QA/test environments as well - anything that will go on a server somewhere.
You must be in a time machine. The security does not depend on underlying value (that's proof of stake), it depends on hash power, which is not a function of value, it is the input to the value function. If the value of the coin dropped then hash power would decline, but the rewards for out-hashing someone would also drop - it wouldn't affect security, you're all mixed up!
Illegal until then.
I was not yet born, but from my generation every single American can tell you where they were when the World Trade Centers fell. JFK assassination was maybe even more significant to Americans alive then.

And let's be honest, it strains credulity to not remember that you were checked into a hotel a block away from the President being assassinated.

This is a student run newspaper. They probably don’t employ a dedicated IT professional nor a legal professional to help them understand what GDPR requires of them. It’s easy to say “compliance with GDPR is so easy” when you’ve taken the time to understand what it requires—why should an American student newspaper have to take the time to learn other countries’ laws? Blocking access is easier especially considering the probability of the web site appealing to an international audience.

This is fair, and probably the reason why Go continues to be popular I guess

> The work we do doesn't require millisecond-level response times

Rust is a high level language, and it is a bit of a misnomer that it is only good for low level things. Most of my stuff doesn't require this level of speed either (the previous major version of my project was written in _Python_). I use Rust for the safety and data structure benefits, not speed.

> can be trusted not to commit anything stupid

As a Rust coder, and a fan of functional programming as well, I personally find any "null pointer" error quite "stupid" and unnecessary as is the occasional "err == nil" instead of "err != nil", or forgetting to check it at all. We will probably have to disagree on what constitutes stupidity, and that is fine.
>but when it comes to actually setting priorities, it's the likes of IBM, RedHat, Canonical, and Google, who draw the real roadmaps - and those are basically all US-based businesses.

This. Linux is not where it is today just thanks to some passionate geeks doing charity work in their spare time but mostly thanks to the billions the likes of Sun, Oracle, Google, Alibaba, Red-Hat, IBM, SAP, Intel, Cloudflare, SGI(RIP), that have poured billions over the last decades into linux and all accompanying modules like filesystems, desktop environments, networking, etc.

All this was possible thanks to those evil megacorp bucks.
Yeah it's brought the moral busybodies out of the woodwork like nothing else, I'd bet a fair amount that the people snitching on their neighbours for breaking lockdown rules or harassing strangers in public about masks would be exactly the same people siding with things like witchcraft trials or McCarthyism in ages past. Some people identify very strongly with the established norms of the day and will be aggressively conformist towards them because that's who they are, regardless of how much merit those norms actually have.

One social impact of the pandemic is that nobody can mind their own damn business any more, and the reason is because we decided basically overnight in March 2020 that catching an airborne virus now has a moral dimension it never had before. You catch a cold, you catch the flu, you catch norovirus, it's just something shitty that happens to you by chance rather than being anyone's fault. When it comes to other diseases people do attach moral judgements; someone gives you HIV or clamydia or syphilis so it automatically has to be someone else's fault that you got sick. Because of the way society has come to see COVID, that disease has been put in the latter category rather than the former which is incorrect in my opinion.

Society will never heal from the wounds of this pandemic until COVID is just something shitty you happen to catch rather than something someone gave to you because of a moral failure.
Disagreement is basic. See something, say something.

Protesting is relevant when it occurs towards someone holding an office or a public role/responsibility (even if temporary).

Protesting someone repeatedly or in their private capacity (which is the case for any student at the university): that becomes harassment.

Threatening: that's a whole other level.
It doesn't follow from the problem or situation being unfair that there is no problem.

One of the best ways for those of us in the democratic West to combat this is to not tolerate when our own governments promote false narratives. This displays the virtues of our imperfect system better than anything else, imo.

I did a cross country drive back in 2008 without GPS and it was great. In fact I would argue by removing all the components of randomness out of your life, you make yourself fragile and your susceptibility to risks much worse.

As an example, I lived in NY for three years and recently when I went there at my cousins place (who is GenZ) our batteries died and we had to walk our way to subway. Despite living there all his life my cousin was having a hard time finding the subway station in Astoria (because he just uses the Map) whereas I could remember from my vague memories of alleys and shops to find out rather quickly.Or how about driving into that diner you have never been instead of looking at Yelp or Google review and finding the best reviewed store? You deny yourself simple pleasures like that when you rely too much on Google or other technologies. I am not saying they don’t have their places but saying without them our quality of life would decline is a fallacy.

I would also argue writing letters and occasional/less frequent long formed phone calls were much better than frequent short form SMS or DMs which most of the time come off as devoid of same level of care or efforts. Keeping in touch with people we know have become such a low effort thing, try writing a letter or making a phone call next time instead of texting and realize how much more effort it required.
But it can be shaped by rules to be associative enough to be useful for the common case. All you need to do is ensure that your calculations are in no danger of blowing past the max significant digits (much like you'd guard against overflow on integer types). Once you need more range, you switch to a multi-word numeric format (or impose rounding rules).
Indeed I interpret this as “they were going to extract much more data than needed”, but it could just be fear.
That seems like a very, very, broad brush.

Three weeks is a stretch in an asymptomatic case, let alone three months.

Cool thanks for the info.

Nim having selective imports solves any annoyances I would have.

But you mentioned all the reasons it was ok in Nim. But the answer is always that the compiler knows. That isn’t why I personally dislike this type of import. I dislike it as a user. I find it super annoying not knowing where an identifier is coming from.

I love having ‘fmt.Printf()’ instead of ‘Printf()’. Trivial example I know. I’m sure everything becomes fine once you are familiar with the ecosystem though.

There's absolutely nothing remotely statistically significant about a four bed ICU. You can't draw conclusions about broader trends based on that.

America was like this during the run-up to the Iraq war. The last iteration of "cancel culture" was when anyone questioning the war was shouted down as un-patriotic. Search for the Dixie Chicks, a country group who spoke out against the war, and read about what happened to them.

One of the things I've learned in my years on this planet is that propaganda works. It works very very well. That's why governments, corporations, and special interests spend so much money on it.
The bar is at the floor for "helps".

There are special tools to "render" react components in node-based test runners.

Of course, you need to write your components in such a way that they are easy to isolate. You can also make use of composition and maybe even mock out components.
Exactly this. One particularly haughty CEO I worked for came to this exact same revelation. "But what about bugs?" "Just tell the developers not to add any bugs!" I'm not even kidding. That's what he said. Continuous release is fine for applications which aren't mission critical AND you have users who are accepting of an increase in bugs. Back in the real world, it's just not a good idea. We're all trying to calibrate the right balance between QA and output, and there are many ways to find the right balance. I remain unconvinced that "YOLO" is ever the right process.

>think the important numbers here are the salary and housing cost ones. In 1970 the average house could be purchased for less than 2 years of salary. Today it costs 5.8 years of salary.

But no one pays cash for their house. They get a mortgage and so the monthly mortgage payment is (mostly) what matters. Back in the 70s you're paying 10%+ on your mortgage while today it's more like 3.
Maybe I can help clear something up for once in these comments! My focus is on substance abuse and not aging, but I've been following the literature and what has been gaining prominence is the "cold wet hungry" hypothesis. That is to say, our ancestors were often cold, wet, and hungry, and our body evolved defenses to deal with those endemic conditions. Though we live past infancy in much larger numbers, our resilience to aging is decreased by sedentary lifestyles and high carbohydrate, high protein, and high fat diets.

If you're meeting your protein requirements, things like intermittent fasting can help your body better regulate inflammation and thus aging (which can better be thought of as disregulated inflammation)

I don't get why minimum wage isn't tied to the CPI by default. I supposed there's a risk of it creating a positive feedback loop, but only a small portion of the workforce is paid at minimum wage.

This is not what people mean by "beds". It's adequate staffing ratios. In March 2020, there were few hotspots in the country and it's not at all comparable to the situation today.

Also, you're being very obtuse and deflective in this thread, bordering on misinformation.

You're mixing up liquidity and scarcity. PS5's are not liquid and they are not divisible. They are also not durable or easily transferable. Scarcity does not give Bitcoin value - there could be a massive Bitcoin inflation even at any moment and the value of the whole network in total would remain the same, its the security guarantees and unrelenting openness that give it value.
Not all Covid PCR tests target the S-gene. The cheap RT-PCR test I took recently in London (for travel) targeted only the E-gene and ORF1ab sequences, so if it had been positive it wouldn't have told me if it were Omicron or not.
