This is pretty close to ruining multiplayer in Halo Infinite, too. They totally botched the rewards system (it's really, really bad), so everyone is complaining about that. But the core gameplay is actually really great, among the best in the series. If the stupid, tacked-on reward crap wasn't there, everyone would just be enjoying a fantastic online shooter. Instead most of the buzz around the game has been negative because of their terrible rewards system. But it's hard to argue with Fortnite's success, hence all the braindead clones.
Appreciate your response! I enjoy the technical contents of this piece. Thanks for keeping an open mind for future articles!
There's a few weird things, but it's mostly okay.

Do not trust the firewall on the bastion host, if an attack can get into the bastion host, they can disable the firewall, so it cannot be used to limit egress. It's better than nothing, but consider using a firewall that's managed on a via a separate management network. I do agree that you should only allow SSH from a few known IPs.

Limiting the number of users is weird, and not recommended. Create all the accounts you need to provide individual accounts for the staff that need to access the bastion host, you will need that as things like HIPAA require named accounts for auditing. None of the accounts need any privileges other than the most basic. Users do not need sudo/root privileges on a jump host.

Other than those two complains, it's good recommendations.

A final recommendation: If you use AWS though, consider using Session Manager instead of SSH and drop the bastion host. You can still connect using the SSH command, using proxy command in OpenSSH, but no public IP or bastion host is required.

You're always driving a waveguide that has inductance and capacitance per unit length. But when resistance is high enough you are just charging a big distributed capacitor. It's a different regime from the high-conductivity situation (which looks like a transmission line). Either picture could apply at sub-ns speeds, it depends mainly on the resistance.
Law is very bimodal. The median engineer likely makes more than the median lawyer.

Pharmacy: If you get a doctorate and work in a hospital (e.g. in ER), you'll get good pay. The average pharmacist in the pharmacy: Not as much in the future. And there's been a lot of wage pressure due to:

1. Amount pharmacies have to pay to obtain the drugs (i.e. what drug manufacturers charge).

2. Amount insurers will pay for medicine. These are contractual. So if you have insurance and go in, there's an upper bar on what the pharmacy can get from you.

The profit a pharmacy makes is between these two numbers, and that margin has shrunk a lot in the last decade. The upshot? Pharmacies are cutting staff, and cutting hours. In my state, there are towns with no pharmacies at all - they had to shut down as they were losing money.
The only thing games improve is thinking and reasoning “in the realm of that game”, or in very similar situations at best. It’s a sort of a brain-trainers scam.

So the question is why do you need thinking and reasoning - where are going to apply it, from this answer will depend everything else.
Guide to Making Friends as an Adult, According to Hades
It's interesting to speculate how much actual adaptation would be needed to get from a naive implementation to one that actually takes advantage of the new capabilities. Thinking of in particular of stuff like Fast Startup in Windows, which under the hood is just turning most power-on events into a restore-from-hibernate.

Then again, maybe it's even simpler than that— no fancy copy-RAM-to-storage is needed if the RAM itself is persistent. Literally just power everything down, and then when you power on later, pick up from where you left off with nothing more to say about it.
I dunno dawg. Whenever I’ve really needed police (when my tires got slashed, when a group of neighborhood kids kicked in my roommate’s windshield within full view of our CCTV, when I got randomly beat up on a bus by a homeless guy, when my gf and I were separating a weeping girl from her drunk and violent date) they’re either not there, or not at all helpful (and in that fourth case, it was 4 drunk bros and a taxi driver who saved my life).

But boy oh boy are police there when I don’t need them: Shutting down streets in Fell’s Point at 1AM so it’s harder for people to get cabs and get home safe, calling in a helicopter and dogs to “investigate” me and a few friends filming a project in college, threatening to book me over a +14mph speeding ticket then apologizing and saying “ya gotta understand, there was a murder in this town two years ago”.

The stuff I read about cops totally gels with my personal experience.

Not really hard to nail this period down. 1992-2009 (the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare ushered in the age of progression and weapon unlocks in multiplayer games).
The White House seems laser focused on issues that are not that important to most people. Yes, "cyber security" is always relevant -- but what is accomplished by a high-profile photo op meeting like this? What does the White House/Executive branch really have to offer?

They cost £4k, were fucking fragile, We broke two of them on one job. Debayering is simple, uncompressing the jpeg2000 at any speed was the main challenge in 2012.
Yeah, that is fair. I guess my gripe is with the idea that research universities charge undergraduates more at all. If anything, most students get a much worse experience and learning environment as a result.

My own experience was that professors who were not currently research oriented tended to have a much more personal interest in actually teaching- not just the material, but in the practice of pedagogy overall.

Compare that to researching professors (or worse, their grad student substitutes) and it is often a night and day difference. All you're really paying more for is often the name on your diploma at the end of the day.
You might be interested in this thought experiment:

Suppose whichever police force(s) you're talking about shall be disbanded. In this experiment, you can choose some amount of delay between that announcement and the actual disbanding; whatever seems most reasonable to you.

How would that play out in the following days / weeks / years?

How do you think individuals, companies, insurers, etc. would adapt? What aspects of life would be better, or worse?

(Personally, I think society would be for worse off. But of course I'm only guessing, and could be wrong.)

I predict the principle of least privilege will appear in the conversation zero times, along with zero instances of seL4, microkernels. Also absent will be any suggestion that the NSA be directed to actually help secure our nations computers in a meaningful way.

It is up to us to fix things. We need to get familiar with microkernels, confused deputies, and all the other lessons that go along with the topic.

If we continue insisting that everything will be fine if we just rewrite it in Rust, or make updates smoother, we'll lose the war for general purpose computing.

[Edit] I believe it is completely possible to have usable and secure computing, but only if we use capability based security, which Windows and Linux don't, and can never support.

There was no imminent danger to those inhabitans when Russia annexed.
They just seized the opportunity to take back important xUSSR territory. The inhabitants are mostly happy, though, as they were promised new horizons and no mandatory Ukrainian language, which they never spoken. All these regional problems are mainly due to the language. If Ukraine allowed Russian as it's second official (or at least regional) language, Donbas would return back in a blink. And Crimea might follow.
My initial instinct on seeing the headline was "it's not like the Wire made a strong case for police competence!" - but on further reading, the detectives in question were treated in a much more positive light in "Homicide: Life on the Street" by David Simon which pre-dated the Wire by a few years.

An interesting parenthetical in the article:

> (In an email, Simon wrote that he would now reconsider his skepticism about the likelihood of wrongful convictions: “I minimized the chance of an investigative or prosecutorial error — never mind purposed misconduct — making it all the way to a jury and conviction; that chance is more substantial than I once believed.”)
Can't wait for SquareEnix to be sued in California then. He basically made their case for them.
Ok. But reverse positions. Mexico and Canada join Russian federation and Russia start building bases there. And this is despite Russia promising not to do that.

For some this is not some abstract notion but a real worry. I am glad the internet started decentralised.
> The parallel for SQL injection might be if you’re building a data charting tool that allows users to enter arbitrary SQL queries. You might want to allow them to enter SELECT queries but not data-modification queries. In these cases you’re best off using a proper SQL parser [...] to ensure it’s a well-formed SELECT query – but doing this correctly is not trivial, so be sure to get security review.

If you are ever in this situation, you should actually use a dedicated read-only user that can only access the relevant data. If you need to hide columns, use views. Trying to parse SQL can easily go very wrong, especially when someone (ab-)uses the edge cases of your DB.

Armenia just lost a war [1]. Minsk is swallowed by protests [2]. Kazakhstan is now facing protests [3]. That's half the CSTO members [4]. Meanwhile, Georgia and Ukraine are reminders to disheveled Russians that democracy for former Soviet members can work. (Also Nord Stream [5].)

The cause for action begins and ends with domestic politics vis-a-vis Putin, who has created a system where losing power means loss of property, freedom and potentially life.

Difference, at least with regard to China/Taiwan, is timeline. Russia could likely steamroll much of Ukraine in a short period of time, and the US/NATO has few assets available for immediate response to hundreds of thousands of Russian troops. The conflict could potentially be over before any meaningful military response could be mounted outside of what Ukraine can muster (which compared to the Russians only goes so far).

Taiwan on the other hand could likely hold out for some time, IIRC their entire defense strategy is "be a tough nut to crack until the US shows up", and amphibious assaults are a very different animal from land invasions. It would primarily be a naval/air battle, and the US has plentiful and superior naval and air assets within striking distance of Taiwan, and just by the numbers the US Navy would annihilate the Chinese Navy in an open conflict. Not that the US/Taiwan would take no casualties, it would be the bloodiest US conflict since Vietnam. But if it happened tomorrow it would end in a decisive US/Taiwan victory assuming things stay conventional.

Also China's a special case, as thanks to their one child policy almost all of their soldiers/sailors/pilots/marines are only children, and arguably more importantly (in China) only sons. The officers/pilots in particular are often the only sons of party officials/the societal elite. So any war China starts could have major domestic ramifications as thousands of relatively important Chinese families see their family trees start to wither.

We also have strategic interests in Taiwan thanks to semiconductors, the same can't be said for Ukraine.

That said, just because it wouldn't make any rational sense doesn't mean it won't happen, or that the narrative you describe wouldn't exists. Let's hope Xi's relative pragmatism continues.

"With the software, which is available on the code sharing platform Github, YouTube videos and music files can be downloaded without a web browser."

I could argue that the software is a web browser, admittedly one tailored around a specific use case.

I feel the music industry has to do a better job explaining how downloading a youtude video via the youtube-dl user agent is different than downloading the same video via the firefox user agent.
> No one is going to pin encrypted data they do not understand.

Select users who have the decryption key (communicated out-of-band) might be willing to pin the encrypted data for the benefit of others who also have the key. There are also for-pay pinning services who probably wouldn't care whether the data was encrypted. And whether it's pinned it or not, as long as it's downloaded the data remains available to be shared (at least until it's GC'd).
Sure, so if you're a big fan of one you'll be a big fan of the other.
Well, solely with respect to skin color, which is arguably THE single biggest physical characteristic of concern... Yeah, I'd say >95% of Americans consciously select their mates with skin color in mind. Google the rates of interracial marriage if you don't believe me.

And yes, the skin/eye/hair color of the parents is probably about 99% determinant in the perceived race of the children... There are always exceptions, but two random people who are "white passing" are overwhelmingly likely to have children who are also "white passing".

You can call this behavior "eugenism" or even just racism, and I'm not saying your terminology is wrong... But I dare you to start going around telling people that to their faces.
We ended up launching another droplet, setting up a reverse proxy from the new droplet to the blocked droplet (which was still accessible via internal IP), and updating DNS to point to the new droplet's public IP. At least that way we were not down all weekend. Nevertheless, we decided that DO support's kill-first-ask-questions-later policy was completely unacceptable.
Since you don't know where your output will end up how could you possibly know the syntax to escape it?

Which works democratically, there's people in Ukraine who will support Russia and people who will support "the west"

The point is also that it's borders are badly drawn, there's an air of civil war to this conflict within Ukraine.

They keep calling it a zero-day although it is not. I dont know which one is worse, if they don't know the meaning or they are trying to make it look like something more important than what it really is.
People still use Bastion hosts?

I'm trying to grok why they're better than SOCKS5 proxies... Is it because they provide shell access and a larger attack surface? ;-)
There's a documented court case where a person was disallowed to be a police officer after scoring too HIGH on an intelligence/aptitude test: https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/st...

So even if "good" smart people with fair judgement go, they are turned away.

Lots of people want to be the 'change from within'. I'm one of them - I spent years as a defense contractor despite the fact that I hate the US military industrial complex.

But in the case of the police, it's prevented.

Also, yes, the police sometimes do very good and important things. But Chris Rock has a joke about this - there can't be good airline pilots and bad airline pilots, all pilots have to be good pilots or there won't be pilots at all. Trust (in anyone but especially authority) takes 10 years to make and 10 seconds to break. So coming in at 50:50 just isn't good enough
Yep. The latest headline Zelda, Mario, and Metroid titles have been really great.

Steam also has a fantastic collection of titles. My favorites this year are all older, but great (and work well on Linux, by the way):

- Journey (I liked this way more than I expected to)

- Donut County

- A Short Hike

- Inside (from the makers of Limbo... an amazing game)

- Limbo

Each of those is pretty different from the rest, but they're all great, in my opinion, and come loaded with near-zero BS.

Do you have any positive personal anecdotes you can share of interactions with the police?
I think this article has come up before? Either way, it's a quirky thing for Gravitational to post, since their flagship project --- Teleport --- basically eliminates bastion servers altogether (you might think of it as an API-controlled self-contained bastion server). Teleport is free, and worth checking out: it solves a bunch of SSH management problems, not just controlling access, but also linking SSH access to SSO, running fleet-wide commands selectively, and generating transcripts of SSH sessions.

Teleport is kind of big and sprawling. But they've repeatedly contracted Doyensec to do assessment work for it, and Doyensec is a fantastic firm. I think parked behind Tailscale, so none of your SSH infra is exposed to the Internet to begin with, it's a pretty great solution, and I'd do that again before I ever hand-tooled an SSH bastion host again.

NATO members are not annexed by America. Ukraine isn't part of NATO, and has had no realistic path to membership for some time. And a good way to get American bases in Ukraine is to threaten to invade it.

Yes. It learns to imitate the author and latents like style or quality.

The Codex paper goes into this; one of the most striking parts is that Codex is good enough to deliberately imitate the level of subtle errors if prompted with code with/without subtle errors. (This is similar to how GPT-3 will imitate the level of typos in text, but a good deal more concerning if you are thinking about long-term AI risk problems, because it shows that various kinds of deception can fall right out of apparently harmless objectives like "predict the next letter".) See also Decision Transformer.

So since OP is prompting with meaningful comments, Codex will tend to continue with meaningful comments; if OP had prompted with no comments, Codex would probably do shorter or no comments.
Wikipedia is not a source. It's a list of sources. You can always add your own (reliable) sources to the list. Basing your decisions on "a bit of knowledge about human nature" is unscientific.
Because I'm sure this is going to lead to security for the people and definitely for sure not pushes for more avenues for mass surveillance...
> I am also not arguing about wanting to get paid a proper wage. Maybe I would argue a bit against always wanting more, because you can have more elsewhere. That does not really entitle anyone to "have a right to get paid more". Of course you are free to aim for money rather than solidity, but if you do it frequently, you will one day have to face the consequences. Those being, that people might have a hunch, that you will be gone at the first sign of higher pay elsewhere.

This is self-correcting though: if you end up with a CV with so much job-hopping that you don't get any more offers because of that, you'll just stay where you are until your last experience is long enough to prove that this is not a concern anymore. So I wouldn't worry about that.

No hard evidence here, but I think you really have to push it to end up in this situation, and I don't think 3 or 4 two-year stints put you in this position (especially not in SV, but even elsewhere as long as you have a story to tell). Talking about the market in general, of course some companies might have biases for candidates who only had longer experiences.
