>Can you prove it?

I can't prove it. But Intel has gone on record stating there is no backdoor. People who have reverse engineered it have not stated there is a backdoor.

>* It was open source.

You could say the name thing about Windows. People and business have reasons why they want to restrict access to the source come.

>* It could be disabled.

The ME is required for your computer to properly boot. If it was disabled, then your computer wouldn't work.

>* NSA hadn't requested from intel for their own undocumented way to disable ME.

The government can be overly paranoid. Just look at the procedures they have had for disposing harddrives when simply zeroing the drive was enough.

>linked vulnerability

That vulnerability required someone to have physical access to your machine no they could attach a flasher to it. Once an attacker has physical access to your machine most people would consider this game over. That vulnerability was not remotely executable.

>In addition to that, it feels like you would say the same about NSA spying before the Snowden revelations.

I don't know enough about the Snowden revelations to answer this.

>if there was a backdoor in intel processors for the law enforcement to access, would you support it?

If access could be implemented in a secure way and it required a warrant then yes I would support it. It would be a better alternative than someone breaking down your door to physically take your computer leaving you without one for months or never being able to retrieve it.
> all that's left is a tool like Elixir's mix

This so much. Mix is so pleasant to work with, but getting an OCaml project off the ground requires messing with dune + esy if you want consistent and isolated package management. It's a massive pain.
They aren't exactly an assurance of safety but such tests should simulate a number of the most common and most dangerous types of crashes and score those. This test comes from the insurance industry so we should expect they are motivated to prioritize according to the risk of damages payouts, but hopefully that should be a decent proxy for safety in any case. So better results should generally mean safer.

I'm not saying the tests are not good. But the value of the results is informing consumers about the safest cars which then encourages industry to compete on safety. If half new cars get the best ratings then that means the test no longer motivates the industry to improve the state of the art in safety and it's just about pressuring the trailing products to catch up.

So for example if your argument is that automobile safety is now at a point where it doesn't make much sense to improve any further then this would be fine. I wondered if that was your reasoning.
>I don't see how one million lines of Python saves anyone any time over something low level like C or even Assembly

I do somehow agree with you, but going from Assembly to C was a huge step, from C to Java/C# a huge step due to GC and better typing.

Python indeed does not feel much higher level to me than e.g. C#, the only reason I've ever really seen why people save lines of code is the lack of braces, which doesn't really matter IMO, and because there are so many libraries. A big reason why there are so many libraries? I guess because people think it's easy, nothing innate in the language, certainly not that it's easy to package stuff.
Ubiquiti access points support meshing and you can run the controller yourself. I have AP Lite 6.
You'll find a lot of people, myself included, that point to the 10.6 era as peak OSX aesthetics. I personally prefer "steel and grass," some people prefer space, the specifics vary person-to-person but a lot of people agree on the trend. Skeuomorphism has an uncomfortably high skill floor, but it has an astronomical skill ceiling. With Apple, it shows. It really shows.

In contrast, flat design has a skill ceiling so low that it can turn the most creatively bankrupt troglodyte of a non-artist into a hunchback.
They could go along the route of mRNA vaccines. Experimental granted for "emergency use". The rich and powerful will do that. So I doubt it needs 10 years. If they do this altruistically for the masses, yeah 10 is a good number. Not so for the rich and powerful that wish to live immortally.
Isn’t it possible that you are not as ready as you think and that your leaders do not yet trust you to help them with more important stuff?

Could you use this opportunity to improve their process or even “teach” the company and team mates a few things here and there?

How about you show some leadership and drive them to where you think the team/company should go?

As I accumulated experience and worked with hundreds of people I found that people are most likely to complain and want things to be different but very rarely they want to change themselves or lead the change. The ones who do are the ones who succeed.

Just food for thought.
Do you have share that need to vest or something? If not leave with a big middle finger.

Your comment takes me back to the late 90s in the dotcom bubble when everything was revolutionary and definitely not a scam
It's not clear what you're talking about because there isn't a reality where this does whatever you want without programmers working on it. Average users are always going to need help from them, regardless of whether it's upstream or a hard fork. That choice also doesn't seem to be relevant to Pop!_OS and Budgie because for them it was a choice between hard fork or start from scratch, which is primarily a technical choice which needs experienced programmers either way.

Developer time is not infinite, so a specific ecosystem optimizing for it doesn't come to me as weird.

You might begrudge the resources used at scale, but if these programs weren't built in the first place it would be net negative. I also don't see Slack coded in GTK for instance, if it wasn't electron it would have been some Java framework, and I'm not sure it would have been better.

Comparing VSCode with Eclipse (which was optimized compared to other frameworks....), I'm pretty happy with VSCode and think we came a long way.
A backdoor is a secret way to gain access to a system. I propose that we explicitly design our system to give them access. It wouldn't be a secret that they could get access to the information they needed under certain circumstances.

No, the old icons are objectively better. I’ve used iPhones since the iPhone 1 and I still keep the original as a music player. I have to hunt down apps on current iOS but astonishingly they all look somewhat different in the old days, which means they are easier to find. It’s easier to find my way around an old iOS I use once a month than one I use every hour.
Yep, the WSL extensions are closed source and hard locked to the proprietary Microsoft build of VSCode.
Exactly. I have a nice TP-Link router that doesn't have the problem described in the article..because the first thing I did was to flash OpenWRT on it. Problem solved.

For their craptastic router you could downgrade the firmware, use an old exploit to root, extract the keys, and then use those keys on your own Linux box to authenticate as the router…

The current mRNA vaccines are sterilizing... For about three months, assuming you have a good immune system and no Omicron. Unless you are trying to go for the "supernatural immunity" Fauci talks about in relation to HIV vaccines, I don't think it's going to happen.

Flamegraph is a bit useful https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph
> There is a specific problem with routers and certification for radio usage.

No, there isn't, because it's perfectly possible to limit what frequencies and power levels the hardware can emit without affecting the ability to run custom firmware such as OpenWRT. The certification argument is a dodge used by router manufacturers to avoid having to give customers what they actually want.

> There was already an airport whose radio saw interference from extra powerful 5ghz wifi routers.

Anyone who is radiating enough power to interfere with airport radios is doing something a lot stranger than just flashing custom firware like OpenWRT on their router. Such people are easily stopped without having to lock down devices.

Welcome to big company fun! Also your "small task" is probably very low priority. Get used to being the least important people for awhile.
Yeah, you're right. I was somehow assuming RSA.

For anyone not familiar with this, 256-bit ECDSA is considered to have the same security as 3072-bit RSA. A lot of large shops use 2048-bit keys, and GPG folks think 4096 is "unnecessary"[1]. So 3072 is a more-than-decent strength by today's standards.

If the box is designed for that purpose then it's designed for that purpose. Then it's not plain wrong. The article is not saying that all the kids have an equal start in life so not sure where you got that from.

Your reasoning is like saying Red Cross isn't designed to reduce the suffering of people because there are still suffering people. It's an odd claim to make.
Read "equal start" as "guaranteed minimum".

In fact that’s exactly how TSMC and Samsung got where they are - the Taiwanese and Korean governments decided to invest in semiconductor manufacturing at the national level.

Yes but changes in the baking process or recipe will impact flavor. So for automation to replace the humans your automation has to be compatible with the existing recipe. If it's not, and requires a recipe adjustment, you're likely going to see a change in flavor that consumers will probably reject. Products developed with automation from day-one do not have that problem, but Kellogg's value is locked into existing products.

Automation is not "Do the exact same thing the exact same way a person would do it, but with a machine." You adapt your product to facilitate the manufacturing process. That's how stuff gets automated.
If so, I’m even more impressed.

And approximations are not math all of the sudden?

Is your point that they would rather work less than more? Easier than harder? Cus that is not very relevant and applies to every kind of work.

I followed these fine articles [1] [2] to build my own router running Linux on a mini PC.

The WiFi card in my mini PC turned out not to support access point mode, so I use separate WiFi routers as my access points. I could've replaced the WiFi card and run an access point on the mini PC too, but didn't bother because I needed multiple access points anyway to cover my house.

There's no fancy GUI to mange my router though, everything is done on the command line.

I don't understand how what you wrote addresses my comment. I listed some groups who might be motivated to do it, and gave an example of somewhat similar private groups organizing to take action that collectively benefit their member groups with industry associations that are not a government.

> Granted, but who is going to spearhead such an effort?

I suppose this is a rhetorical question, which does not help me understand your point of view. Can you just explain why for example a home insurance industry group (or any of the other interested groups) would not organize to deal with this problem in the absence of government action?

To find the frontend code associated with a feature, search the view code for text that you see in the app.

To see how it uses the backend, open the network tab in Chrome developer tools (or equiv in other browsers), look at what requests it makes, and then find corresponding controllers within the code.
No, it's a list of two subsets contained in the set "meal."

- main-dishes (x1)

- side-dishes (x2)

The entree set has 1 item in it, the "pan-roasted oysters with a tomato sauce over rice.The ingredients of "entree" follow the same hierarchical structure as the ingredients of "meal," so:

-main-ingredients (x1)

-side-ingredients (x2)

Since we're only talking about two sets here, a comma separating them is unnecessary. You could use one if you wanted, ("pan-roasted oysters, with a tomato sauce over rice") but then the syntax of the sentence would be off. You'd have a list of three things:

-pan roasted oysters

-a tomato sauce over rice

-broccoli salad and bread pudding with chocolate sauce

This is logically inconsistent because the oysters, tomatoes, and rice comprise a single dish. The tomatoes and rice don't stand on their own but describe how the oysters are prepared and served, just as the non-entrees describe how the meal is served.

Lets compare:

ORIGINAL:
>“The next day, I enjoyed pan-roasted oysters with a tomato sauce over rice, broccoli salad and bread pudding with chocolate sauce."

OXFORD COMMA:
> “The next day, I enjoyed pan-roasted oysters, with a tomato sauce over rice, broccoli salad, and bread pudding with chocolate sauce."

By structuring the sentence in that way, you erase any information about the value of the meal, and the relationships between its components. In return you ensure that someone won't think there was chocolate sauce on the broccoli salad.

You are clearly wrong about "fire and forgot". It may feel to you like this because you do not recall that for most vaccines multiple shots are needed for sufficient immunity and most of the viruses do not mutate away like SARS-Cov-2.

Flu vaccine is that kind of type but it is far from super effective having efficiency somewhere between 10-60% (still saves lives and productive days) and we normally do not have flu pandemic and even when we do, it has never been really infectious compared to Delta or Omicron.

Current vaccines appear even effective against sever case of Omicron, though not that much against mild cases. There would be no need for this forth shot if this Omicron did not appear out of the blue.

Given that most of India and most likely Africa will become "vaccinated" either by Delta (SAR and India mostly already are) or Omicron then how much potential is there left for one more surprise variant?

First, confirm its last-good build configuration (e.g., using Visual Studio on Windows for a desktop application), build it, then fuzz it forward and backward with other versions of the build toolchain (e.g., VS). This will certainly break it, as well as to expose points of fragility for troubleshooting.
> there isn't a reality where this does whatever you want

I wish something called user choice and configuration options existed in this reality.
You should be able to break down a front end project by documenting of all the pages and then components they depend on. Then document their flow (which pages link to which and what dialogs / components they open). Then you need to look at how data is managed among all the pages and components. Do they use something like redux for data management? Then how is the business logic is composed and how backend API's are used. Also for a front end project how are styles managed through out the application.
I was able to enable IPv6 through the web interface when I used an EdgeRouter about a year or so ago. Even some of the Wizards turns it on for you if you want (IIRC) although you can go into the manual configuration to set it up. I ended up switching to Microtik due to my unease with Ubiqiti. Have to say however I found it more difficult to set up IPv6 on the Microtik, so another point for the EdgeRouter's IPv6 support there.
AFAIK there has never been an officially supported way to set those in the GNOME GUI and that's true of everything else in the tweak tool including the themes, that's why they're technically in "use at your own risk because this can break everything and mess up your apps" territory. Those are only implemented as hidden settings that the tweak tool modifies. Not sure about other desktops, XFCE might have a GUI to set them.

> because OS platform vendors are manically determined to lock us in and stop us from writing portable code

Sorry, but that’s both flat out not true, and a fundamental misunderstanding of what the role of a platform vendor is.

If Apple wanted to ban non-native apps on iOS it’s hard to see what would stop them. They’re clearly fine with them. Microsoft has even embraced cross platform development wholeheartedly with many Electron apps, and more to come. They’re even plumbing the chrome engine into Windows to make sharing it more efficient.

The role of a platform vendor though is to make the best platform for native development they can. Portability to other platforms, with a few exceptions such as POSIX, just isn’t their problem. There’s no particular reason it should be. It would just stifle innovation and lead to boring me-too systems that are stuck in the past. That’s simply not in the interests of users or vendors.
