We need to apply zero-trust everywhere. How do we know anything about anyone online? Unless it comes from a respected company, any npm project author could be a malicious actor just waiting to hit some large number of downloads to surreptitiously add a crypto-miner to it.

I think we just need to assume all of them are bad actors and review our dependencies (yes, unlikely to happen in practice given limited resources but that's a problem for someone else to solve).
> If I write some code and decide to upload it to NPM for others to use under a FOSS license, that's my decision. If I decide to stop hosting my code on NPM, that's my decision too.

You are free to stop publishing new versions on NPM, but NPM is not obligated to stop distributing the package (as allowed by the FOSS license you previously granted) just because you decide you want to stop hosting your code there. Once you've published the code under a FOSS license you no longer have control over its distribution.

Obviously NPM is also not obligated to continue hosting the package, but if they take it down at the author's request when they didn't need to and the result is broken infrastructure, they are rightly going to get most of the blame for that breakage. The author may have made the request but in the end it was NPM's decision to take it down.
I'm not sure fines really tell the story here. Have big companies had a significant change in behavior as a result? Have major actors in any space (say) deleted data they'd gathered without legal basis?

The terminology 'viral gene' is not a made up fear mongering term... It's a plainly descriptive term. It is an encoding for a protein of a virus, in this case the modified c19 spike protein.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_antigenic_sin

Original antigenic sin, also known as antigenic imprinting or the Hoskins effect,[1] refers to the propensity of the body's immune system to preferentially utilize immunological memory based on a previous infection when a second slightly different version of that foreign pathogen (e.g. a virus or bacterium) is encountered. This leaves the immune system "trapped" by the first response it has made to each antigen, and unable to mount potentially more effective responses during subsequent infections

How much did HBO pay for the streaming rights?

I would say that the obese in particular deserve to vilified far more than antivaxxes, because they are doing damage year after year. An estimate 20% of US healthcare costs (~200B/yr) are related adult obesity. Think of how many lives could be saved with that money. These people are essentially murderers based on the externalities they impose on the rest of us.

Hospital Costs and deaths associated with covid are easily surpassed by the obese if you add up just a few years.

I can't say for sure, but going from my interpretation of what seems to be the (sunni) scholarly consensus, it really shouldn't matter. Pork is not allowed to be eaten for a few reasons, none of them are relevant for cardiac valves especially considering you don't ever "consume" the pork. Pork is only allowed if you don't have another alternative when it comes to feeding yourself,but since I don't think it's restricted at all for most other uses, there's no need to even have to chose an alternative if possible. Though there is definitely a cultural repulsion towards anything related to Pork in Islamic countries so I'd definitely expect alternatives to be more popular based on that repulsion/taboo even if it's not haram

> I'm certainly skeptical about the utility of IQ or any other test as a general measure of "intelligence", when what intelligence even means is an active matter of debate.

That's partly because it's mythologized to hell and back, and people often turn to the lack of a definition given concisely in words as proof that we don't really know it.

But, g exists, we know its nature rather well, and being able to do hang on to that measure has enabled considerable detective work as to the physical underpinnings of it.

Most simply, I think treating it as a brain performance benchmark, just like you would for a computer, doesn't go very far wrong. It's variation in the general monkey brain blueprint we're all built from, and has physical correlates that imply it as a rather general measure of the brain's performance (it's eg. linked to faster average reaction times, which would make no sense for a measure of book-learning aptitude). So, more IQ = monkey with more CPU cycles and RAM, done. Zero mythology, zero romanticism, simple.

As one analogy, you could liken it to gravity: For the longest time we knew things fell down, we could measure that speed, etc. but we didn't know why things fell down. Then we made some theories, and then new ones, and then new ones. But we don't actually know the cause and the mechanism completely. We know mechanisms of how it acts and measures of how strongly, but stuff like a quantum mechanical theory of gravity is anyone's guess at this point.

All along that journey of discovery, we still knew a fundamental fact: Somehow things fell down. That observation is the anchor. In intelligence research, that observation is g.
The MIT license explicitly gives the entire world the right to distribute and modify and project licensed under it. The author isn't allowed any takesie-backsies. Everyone is well within their rights to host copies of faker and colors and any other MIT-licensed project in existence regardless of whether or not the author objects to it.

If the author didn't want third parties redistributing copies of their code, they shouldn't have released it under the MIT license.

My sister has a pet pig (a 150+-lb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_Pot-bellied); it lives in the house with everybody else and forages in the backyard. I can't say I'd ever thought of keeping a pig as a pet, but it's a perfectly fine creature, gentle when it's not being provoking, and intelligent and quite communicative.

I can't see it being "man's best friend" (dogs have a bunch of special abilities that pigs don't) but both pigs and goats play an important enough role to call them "man's best helpers"
Nope, the ball and disc valves were where they started and they had any issues including wear, blood clots and strokes. You could also hear many of them outside the patients body.
He didn’t, though. People signed up to a distribution method to run the code and just assumed future updates would be okay. He didn’t push the code to them, they pulled it.
YC is great but it's a bit of a hyperbole saying they're driving for "good for the world" and giving chances to the minority/contrarians that wouldn't otherwise get funding.

It would be good to see stats on proportion of ivy league founders or those with previously successful/exited founders in YC. A lot of the applicants are impressive (obviously) and already have a decent chance of getting SV investors- and even more so outside the valley.

Few (if any) Jews believe in eternal damnation. Generally speaking, Judaism places very little emphasis on the afterlife, and there's no widely-held doctrine about it. To the extent there's a shared belief at all, it's that everybody goes to a place called Sheol, without differentiation by merit.
Well other package managers don't automatically update packages like NPM does though but pin the exact version that you installed.

All of the “well actually” when it comes to religious laws misses the reality of the situation imo. Well educated religious scholars will debate religious laws and frequently fail to achieve consensus on much. Ordinary religious practitioners will simply adopt whichever interpretation they identify with. There are no truly correct interpretations of any religion, and for any religion there are as many different interpretations of what it means as there are people interpreting it. Even in Judaism, which is really quite homogeneous as far as most religions go.
> I’m not sure a riddle that stumps young children is a good basis for how people should define their own identity. I certainly don’t think it should defer to the convenience of others. Especially when identity, or conflict thereof, can be a source of trauma and/or expose people to serious risk.

The riddle is a reflection of reality. I used it as an example to illustrate the idea that everyone - including children - implicitly know that a name is a social contract with everyone (including software and government databases) that uses that name.

> Especially when identity, or conflict thereof, can be a source of trauma and/or expose people to serious risk.

Identity absolutely can expose people to risk. No system, anywhere, has ever exposed someone to a special form of risk or trauma by asking for a first name and a last name. They absolutely have by asking for valid government names without privacy protections (as Facebook, Google+, and others have), but that's an orthogonal issue.

On paper forms you usef to just draw a line theough the field to make clear that you didn't just forget. I've seen electronic forms that require you enter "N/A" for the same. Would be amusing if someone chamged their name to "N/A".
It's an example of prescription in language. Correcting someone's spelling/grammar is another.

Whether to prescribe language or not is somewhat arbitrary at times and is determined culturally, so I don't think the argument above can be resolved.

I enjoyed Resurrections. It was the kind of lighter Matrix I was craving. IMHO No Way Home was boring and tried to do too much. I didn't enjoy the Maguire or Garfield Spiderman movies, so them being in it and old villains reappearing didn't do much for me. Willam DaFoe is always a welcome addition to any movie, however. There were some bright spots that I hope they build upon, and I'm looking forward to more in the Dr Strange universe. Aside from that, it was underwhelming, in direct contrast to Far From Home.

TBH, I found a way to enjoy Jupiter Ascending by imagining that the Big Rich Family was a precursor to Dune. It's not perfect of course, but the worldbuilding part of that was fun to imagine as something pre-Butlarian-Jihad.

The sheer extravagance at least was on par with the Harkonens.

Beyond that, the plot of "reborn woman gets to be a planet-princess and then goes back to scrubbing toilets" was completely stupid. The Bureaucracy scene was funny though.

> Martin Ruby, 48, Facebook’s head of public policy for the Nordic and Benelux regions, said he was sorry “if we made the wrong calls in this case” but insisted that it had done its best to eradicate the execution clips. He said that the code for the videos was being continually tweaked to elude Facebook’s censorship algorithms. “The problem is that these evil people are sitting there and changing the format on them,” he told DR. “It’s a perpetual battle.”

is it his right? to sabotage downstream code in revenge for not being paid for work he willingly took on knowing full well that he may never be paid?

legality is defined at the behest of societal needs. if society says something legal should be made illegal, or vice versa, then it will be.

GitHub/Microsoft chose to do the right thing for the society in the short term. in the long term, choosing a less stupid library update policy will benefit everyone AND let authors do all the "non-harmful" malevolent stuff they want.

as if this wasn't a single-point denial of service attack...

we are slowly (far too slowly) learning that our assumptions that all developers are benevolent is incorrect, and it's going to take another 2-5 instances of this kind of attack before people really start to understand why and see the danger of simply using libraries at all; especially in ecosystems like NPM where almost no one writes a single line of code on their own if it can instead be pulled in as a library dependency. this attitude is the exact opposite of a secure code approach and until people learn this, and learn it well, this kind of attack will continue, and the time between the attacks will gradually shorten.

Exactly. Box office numbers are going to become less and less important over time. Except for the few big special effect movies, most movies will move to streaming.

Another wrinkle is the movie format itself is under attack. Dune for example should have been a weekly series. There just isn't enough time to do it right in a movie.
Jupiter Ascending is a guilty pleasure. I know it's bad, so when I'm in the mood to shut my brain off and it's available, I do watch it from time to time. It's got enough visuals and entertainment in it that it'll keep my attention for a bit. Plus, Mila.
Deleting it would have been less offensive because deleting it would simply have caused his code to stop executing on other people's machines altogether. What he did instead was execute malicious code (albeit a relatively benign malice) on the computers of people who previously trusted him.

Deleting the package is within his rights. Modifying the package to be abusive may technically (legally) be within his rights but is certainly not ethical, and I'm not even convinced that it was legal. Had he modified the package to install a Bitcoin miner instead of just breaking apps, I suspect he'd be breaking the law, and it's not obvious to me that a DOS attack should be treated differently.
