Ran into this a lot when going AppSec. We were very careful to secure PCI and PII in transit and at rest only to have it pop up all over the place in logs. Most developers and PMs didn't see it as a problem as "logs are only for our use". The issues had to be bubbled up quite a ways before the message was sent out from a high enough authority to get it theoretically stopped. Still had problems with some groups claiming "it's ok, we have those files secured" or claiming lack of resources to fix the problem. I'm pretty sure we self-attested that we were PCI compliant and probably said the same about securing PII, which would have been pretty much true if not for the log files all over the place.
B2B apps whose customers may be small businesses may be surprised at just how low-grade some of their hardware is. For example, a small mail and parcel store (many of my employer's customers)

Additionally, apps designed to be used in the field by top-tier customers often fail basic requirements. (Funny how many apps and sites fall apart on my iPhone 12 Pro in places where the connection drops down to LTE)
It wasn't too long ago, some people were defending Objective C's verbose naming schemes. "We know better today" sounds more like a fashion statement than an objective one. Opinions on coding styles tend to change with the languages that become popular. Granted, I do prefer explicit short over verbose.
Calculus: Having campus-wide COVID surveillance running (before any alternative testing options had sprung up) is more important than preventing ANY RISK of someone experiencing stigma for having had COVID. I think this calculus holds up and is not that dehumanizing. I'm not saying we should get rid of all protections, but that pendulum is too far on the regulatory side right now.
Personally, I would be bored as hell after a month at a tropical beach and be very excited to get to work on building something--anything! Maybe that's not what everyone's response would be.

Ah I see what your saying! I personally took it more of a judgmental thing (especially with their second response) but I have no idea what the true intention was. Although I don't think my response was rude or anything, next time I will try to assume the best!
I do. Every day. I provide the citation so you can read the law and if you disagree with my interpretation you can respond saying as much. This is internet outrage mob justice. I understand why people are mad but it’s far more to do with ignorance on the part of the researchers than malice.

This is my interpretation of their dilemma:

"We screwed up by spamming a lot of people. We like to apologize and fix our mistake. We currently have two options:

1. apologize by sending a second email. This second email will contain an apology and the phrase 'disregard the prior email'

2. apologize by some other method (e.g. this website)

Option #1 pro: reaches everyone we're previously spammed

Option #1 con: we will be spamming people a second time. If the first round of spamming puts us in legal/ethical jeopardy, then this second round of spamming could make it worst

We have not performed Option #1 yet. We do not know whether we should perform Option #1 or not. We are taking the temperature of the 'email operator community' to see whether we should performed Option #1 or not. If Option #1 gets the green-light then we'll do it ASAP."

(Not that it's not bad)
Basically the same thing happened to the Tea Party.

My impression is that the movement gets co-opted as a generic partisan force, and then having specific goals is a detriment when the unstated goal is merely to elect a particular party.

The best goal for Occupy Wall Street would have been to break up all the Too Big To Fail institutions. The "problem" with that was twofold.

One, if that's the goal, and they manage to turn the election, then they'll expect the people they elected to actually do it. But politicians didn't wanna do it. Both parties are in the pocket of the banks.

And two, if they actually did do it, it would be done. The movement would have succeeded and lost its raison d'etre. If you solve the problem then you can't run on it again.

So you're completely right. The question is how to prevent movements from getting co-opted like this. Because actually solving the problem is the thing we should want.
Apparently they had whole labs full of banks of machines in many common configurations to test their software. However now the "insiders" get the privilege of doing it for them for free under the guise of shaping the product direction.

Windows Updates are drip fed out to classes of machine so they can limit the damage when they hit a class that inevitably fails because it was never tested before rolling out to production on that hardware.

I appreciate they can never test every configuration but based on what they used to do it's clear they identified a need for this kind of testing in the past so what's changed? Why don't they need to do this testing anymore? Why make your users do it for you, for free, no less.

Well for starters they are lying and misreprenting themselves and the basis for their query. They say they are a data subject from Nice and represent that they are going to make a request under the CCPA. In actual practise they are a researcher from Princeton. If you don't think that's an ethical problem then I don't see it's worth discussing further.

When you say "If I as an ordinary citizen..." you essentially make this point. They are not an ordinary citizen making a data request, they are researcher who thinks it's ok to lie to collect data perhaps because they think people would give different responses when faced with a genuine data subject access request than when talking to a known researcher.

Renting a typical laptop (these days, 8 cores, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) from a cloud provider costs much more than purchasing the product, it seems (consuder also various other costs: egress, snapshots, monitoring etc).
This is almost certainly wrong.
Away from home at the moment, but this looks like it will “complete” my current set up very nicely.

I have 2x Dell P2319H (1080p) monitors and have my work laptop connected via DP with my gaming desktop connected via HDMI. Then I have a dumb USB switch with a button on it to switch my USB devices between the two computers.

If the other computer is off/sleeping the screens most of the time automatically switch to the correct inputs, but sometimes I need to use the screen controls to do it.

This set up cost 10s of dollars as opposed to 100s for a proper KVM switch and it’s worked pretty well for the last 2.5 years.

I’ll try this utility when I get home and it will hopefully make it so the USB switch’s button is all I’ll need to press and it will work, even if both the computers are turned on.
yt-dlp works great. Worth to note that for macOS you don’t need their tap to install it, even though the yt-dlp readme says to use the tap.

yt-dlp is in the main package repository of homebrew, and the version in the main repo of homebrew is kept close to just as up to date as the tap.

So to install yt-dlp on a Mac that has homebrew installed, just run:

brew install yt-dlp

Add to that the fact that societies evolve way faster than before. In the past you'd inherit your ancestors knowledge and carry it forward because it would still matter.

Which really would have been a good idea. It isn't that all those Europeans had to die to get this current stable state.
I've seen a version of this behaviour in Lopburi, Thailand and in some places around Bali. Make no mistake, these primates can get ferocious, they carry several diseases and can cause serious bodily harm to large sized human adults. Don't go near them, don't encourage them and for $DEITY's sake don't feed them. They are wild and potentially dangerous animals.

The incident I witnessed was described to me by a local as a war between two rival monkey gangs battling for food scraps. Things were getting dangerous, the monkeys would snarl at people just walking along the street, and sometimes lunge and attack people carrying any sort of food. I've seen people get scratched and bitten.

> How is asking someone questions a legal threat?

It isn't. Being paranoid about lawsuits against some personal blog shows a lack of legal sophistication and this type of sensationalism promotes an irrational fear of being somehow financially vulnerable to almost any legal predation. That's simply not how the US system works. There have to be actual damages for a court case to go forward to the worst-case expensive end (depending on what most people consider "crippling"). Courts aren't pernicious and are very sensitive to anyone attempting to waste court time on exploitation (except in Texas courts supporting patent trolling, obv).

Any judge would have this resolved by giving the parties a 15 minute sidebar to come to an actionable resolution or sanction both sides in some motivating manner. The US legal system has a vested interest in not taking everything to a long drawn out fight, due to limited court time, even if it is presented differently in media (or the comments in these threads, which are laughable).
submitting a request isn't at all like a lawsuit
The Rust standard library should concern itself with very general patterns that could feasibly enable interoperability across crates. I'd rather see a generalized facility for working seamlessly with composable 'optics' on Rust structs/objects (similar to the existing support for Iterators) than something strictly focused on the bitfield case.
If I understand correctly the sentiment is that the study is not in “good faith” by virtue of being a study. That’s where I’m genuinely ethically confused. It’s not like the study is bad faith (like they’re trying to trick websites into something illegal then sue them). At worst it’s neutral faith. But why is that unethical?
It does, through sealed classes.

So where do you get your information? If newspapers can/will lie isn't that also possible with your source now?

Every newspaper is going to "lie" once in a while, there are independent people who write articles. What's important is reputation. The New York Times has been around since 1851. How many truthful articles have they written vs how many were misinformation or biased?

Since the longer a news source exists the more likely it would have lied you will only trust recent news sources? Like if I made a news website then published some random article and sent it to you, I've never lied before but I have 0 reputation are you going to believe me?

That seems like an easy thing to exploit if I was evil I could just keep creating random news websites and you'll trust them. If one is ever caught lying I'll just shut it down and make a new one. However how many "lies" will you believe until I'm caught.
I cannot believe you just said that about the author of The Selfish Gene.

> Being paranoid about lawsuits against some personal blog shows a lack of legal sophistication and this type of sensationalism promotes an irrational fear of being somehow financially vulnerable to almost any legal predation.

And yet, many people reacted just like this writer. Perhaps, given that the reaction was widespread, it could and should have been anticipated, instead of expecting every person to have your evident legal knowledge.

I can't help but think that if:

1. Google had standardised on one messaging / video service.

2. Had no requirement for all participants in video calls to have Google accounts.

3. Supported group video chats.

It could have owned the videoconferencing space now dominated by Zoom.

Given my lack of faith in Google this ... isn't entirely a bad thing. (My faith in Zoom isn't all that strong either, FWIW.)

But talk about an absolutely gratuitous case of footgunning.

The valid fork is the one with the most blocks that adhere to the rules of consensus. Most “forks” have changed the consensus rules, which is why they’re “forks” rather than the canonical chain.

A lie is intentional. I'm not saying this is the case here because I haven't checked but if they believed that masks weren't effective then later changed their view because of new information or whatever that's not lying.
To have a real discussion on the future of shells while ignoring the PowerShell is not an honest discussion. I'm not sure why you'd want to run a 30 year old script when the computing environment has changed so much around those scripts. Regardless of what future you see for PowerShell as a product, the concepts and implementation, is a great place to see what works well and what didn't, particularly when it comes to non-text oriented pipeing
It's a bit silly to say shared mutable state is morally wrong. Rust programs have shared mutable state in that indices often refer to mutable data, and Java programs allow more conventional shared mutability without memory unsafety.

Shared mutability can enable some bugs, like the existence of a CPU enables bugs, but that doesn't mean CPUs are morally wrong.

You're absolutely right. I happened to be thinking about specific distressed elders in my life who I have had to talk down because they are worried about getting scammed, and the emotional toll it's taken on them. Not everybody has enough expertise to navigate potential scams reliably and with minimal stress — such expertise exists on a continuum.
I've had the exact situation kisamoto is talking about happen to me countless times, and I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I've won the battle over images. Sadly, the folks calling the shots on what images to use and exactly how they need to look do not care that I'm using responsive imagery to serve images to our users with appropriate file sizes, reasonable resolutions, and ensure crops have editor selected focal points.

When I say these folks get upset over slight pixelization, I'm not even talking about pixelization where everyone can tell it's a low quality image. I'm talking about situations where people are upset they can't read an iPhone screen someone is holding in the background when they are viewing it on their 4K display (note: that particular phone isn't the focal point of the shot, nor does it have anything to add to it; it's just someone staged back there to make the shot feel more alive, mind you!).

It's disheartening because I do want to deliver the best experience possible and try to do everything in my power to accomplish it, but sometimes I lose out and folks force their megabyte imagery.
The fact that iPhones wobble like a cheap table because the camera protrudes with the lack of a 3.5 jack is pretty crazy im my mind. I dont like cases (will throw a sacrifice glass on the screen) but I feel they could add some thickness. And i'd go 2x as thick and as for an android like the first keyboard slide of the Motorolo Droids.

Give me a notched phone roughly the size of a SE, ~2x as thick with a slide keyboard and i will go back to android... basicly bring back the moto droid line!!
I think a tree holding a hill in place is more a factor of soil, root structure & precipitation than the wood strength. Shallow roots, loose soil: not gonna hold much. Deep roots, compacted or rocky soil: basically reinforced concrete. Whether it's more dry or waterlogged probably changes it too. Also, if the tree grew slanted, it would actually be unusually strong in that position compared to a tree that was shifted into that position.

It can run YouTube/Facebook/Twitter (surprisingly, for the last).

It can't run https://github.com/

Note that the threats are not directed at me, but at my customers.

And I consider DMCA notices to fall within the category of a certain specific type of legal threat. There are also some in the queue right now that don't read like typical DMCA notices such as you might receive for downloading the mandalorian, but look more like straight out attempts at extortion (pay us right now so that we won't sue you for torrenting backdoor sluts volume XII, etc).

As to what the ultimate end user recipients consider them to be, that's up to them and their counsel.
