Robert Frost, Instructor and Flight Controller at NASA:

> If you are referring to the call from the Flight Director: “GC, Lock the doors” that is a command that initiates the contingency response to a significant incident, such as the loss of a vehicle. It begins a FREEZE, ISOLATE, AND PROTECT process. The Flight Director would follow up that statement with a call to the team to immediately pull out the contingency section of the Flight Control Operations Handbook to identify specific actions that are to be taken.

> Access to the facility becomes restricted. People that weren’t in the room at the time or aren’t essential to the next steps are not allowed access and the people in the room are restricted from leaving. Communication in and out of the room is restricted. Usage of all devices, both workstations and personal, is restricted. The team is hands-off. Nothing should be done that changes the configuration at the time of the incident. Those are the freeze and isolate steps. Next comes protect. All of the data that was in use must be captured, recorded, and preserved in a static state. Even the trash cans have to be preserved in their state. All of this is because any investigation into the incident will require all of this data.

> Once given permission, the occupants of the room may continue to capture their observations and actions in their console logs.

> It is important to keep the equipment, documentation, and people in a pristine state until it all has been preserved. We don’t want any form of contamination that could be caused by someone bringing in data that wasn’t in the room during the incident into the room or removing data. We don’t want the team’s observation and recording of those observations influenced by communication with people that weren’t there.

> All of the data will be collected and put into secure data containers and taken to a secure vault. Debriefing of the team may then be performed and once a response team has been formed and has begun their work, the Flight Director may release the team.
>Given that such blatant racism is so uncommon out in the real world...

I've got some bad news for you regarding racism and the "real world." I have personally been called the n word to my face (recently!) in the rich, liberal and post-racist utopia that is California. Heck, I was a block away from Ty Warner's palatial mansion on the beach, not some podunk biker bar in Mississippi or whatever other imagined place people like to think "real" racism comes from.

I think you'd be utterly blown away what sort of stuff the Malibu/Calabasas/Montecito/Mountain View/etc. types call their Hispanic house workers!
I use a similar tool in a browser all the time, so I definitely have a need for this tool, and this is much better than a browser tool. Thank you for this effort!
> The reality is if you say you’re “doing zero trust” to a security professional today, they’ll assume you’re naïve, and haven’t realized what you’re actually signing yourself up for.

The old-school variant has the same issues, IMO? A previous employer of mine was "everything was on the company wide VPN" i.e., no SSO, half the stuff is insecure.

Externally, you could connect to the VPN with a fairly bog standard VPN client. But how was the trust established? Well… it trusted DigiCert's CA cert. Meaning anyone who purchased a DigiCert cert & could obtain a privileges position on the network could MitM the VPN connection.

Inside the office, the WiFi was connected to the VPN (i.e., VPN client was only required off-site) … and the office WiFi was WPA2-PSK. And of course the PSK a. was not a good PSK and b. did not rotate when employees left the company.

Worked for a larger corp. Same idea, internal net was trusted net. STP packets on the ethernet ports, which IIRC my network training probably meant that I could convince a switch on the network that I was a switch, please start routing me traffic.

> They’ve tried to use the tools already available in the market themselves

I've tried to use more old school solutions, like LDAP. LDAP tooling is horridly difficult to set up. I gave up on my first attempt; I think today I know where I went wrong. Things like pfSense & VPN are also incredibly complex, and my understanding on the security community consensus on IPSec is that it is that its complexity guarantees that it is insecure.

> The tools that are on the market today aren’t even doing the hard part of zero trust yet.

But I don't disagree with that, too. The tools are definitely not up to snuff. Getting working SSO, even with just a decent MFA experience & then getting a service to authz with it has been considerably complex. & like the author surmises … even if I ignore device security.

Now we're all remote … yet security would still like to allowlist network access by IP address, meaning one of these days I am creating a common, centralized white pages of employee IP addresses because those are getting numerous. (I have mixed feelings on this. The list is a PITA to maintain. But it does keep random Internet riff-raff from ever hitting an open SSH port… and while yes, people should use keys, all it takes is one mistake. And people make mistakes.)

ZT is IMO the right approach; the network is already compromised. Whether that's at the Internet or the port on your laptop doesn't matter. Yeah, people definitely forget the device bit. (And ought not to.) But the other approaches aren't implemented with any more diligence.
Yes, but unfortunately it is sounding less and less ridiculous as inflation picks up.

Ask HN: Charter wants $7100 to make my new home serviceable. What gives?
Specifically, I live in a residential neighborhood in a moderately sized city in Minnesota.

I'm willing to go as far as to start a WISP if I can get enough community support; but my question for the telco HNers is this: what specifically drives the decision to burden the consumer with a significant cost? I can understand if this parcel were somehow drastically outside the ISP service area, but I am certain that isn't the case as I have personal friends within .5 miles that have 1-gig service.

Wouldn't the ISP benefit from investing by expanding their available service, given most of the lines (AFAIK) around here are aerial, pole-to-home.

Lord of the Flies is plainly allegorical, at least in part. As I (and another poster) noted elsewhere on here, it's made very clear at the end. If you're not going to ask those questions, you may as well not read it.

> After reading this, I stand by what I wrote. There often is no reason other than that it sprung to mind while writing, with no additional intent.

But you kept it in the book. All kinds of things sprung to mind and didn't make it in, surely.

[EDIT] Also:

> I'd concede that counts as purpose, though, if not a purpose anyone would be likely to guess at.

Sure, which is why some books don't reward close reading. Which is fine. But an author's still deciding what goes in and what doesn't, what gets edited out (perhaps with some help) and what stays.

[EDIT EDIT] I don't want to quibble over your writing process or anything, my core point is simply that "there's a whole section about killing pigs because the characters were hungry" would represent poor reading, period. Lack of awareness of structural, character, thematic, allegorical, symbolic, allusive, et c., reasons for choosing to devote page space to one thing over another (or nothing), will make becoming a better reader and writer challenging at best, so it is a good idea to try to teach students those things. Whole kinds of reading would be unapproachable, and even constructing a basic narrative of one's own, unduly difficult. It's possible and sometimes rewarding to ask those sorts of questions about literature because they're not set-in-stone depictions of reality, but something a human constructed. Even documentaries typically exhibit some of these traits, and those intend to depict reality itself in some fashion—editing, shot choices, et c. In a documentary you're not watching someone eat a sandwich, you're watching a specific view of someone eating a sandwich which a human decided to show to you at exactly this point in the film. There's a reason that shot's there and not somewhere else, or some other shot isn't in its place—or there better be, at any rate. So it's likely worth asking why, if only to hone one's own documentary-making skills.
> people in the room are restricted from leaving

But how's that legal? Is there some special legislation for it? A citizen's arrest requires an actual crime being observed.

> Even my favourite Googler has 5 laptops at home, but only some of them work, even fewer are for work, and most of them are in the other room.

That doesn't reflect my experience as a Googler. I have one corporate issued laptop that works great for everything from software development, flashing testing devices, managing production services, and browsing the internal meme boards. I don't have to switch devices. I'm not sure what relevance personal devices have. You are pretty restricted in using personal devices for work (phones being an exception).

I think BeyondCorp ended up working fantastically well during the pandemic as basically the entire company has been working via untrusted networks. It's hard to imagine using a clunky old corporate VPN from the past anymore.
So we have this thing called a government that we give money too. Different people want it to do different things. You can recognize that while you may pay for things you dont want, other people are paying for the things that you want but they dont.
Low income families themselves have told us they’re so happy they finally found an affordable solution. So I’d beg to differ (qualifying low income as <75k household income. They self reported)
Wow, this looks really good, nice work.
Ok, so turns out default chrome/firefox on windows/android were not issuing the history refresh request on back button click. Turns out you need to add some additional config to make that happen. It's now working, and it's excellent.

Set htmx to not cache prior pages by setting `htmx.config.historyCacheSize = 0` in window.onload.

Also set the http caching header `cache-control: no-cache`
Even that article doesn't mention Minkowski. Journalists and writers have such huge egos that can never see past the man in Einstein no matter how hard he tried to explain he was also standing on the shoulders of giants.
The urgency is because you can fool enough people only so long before they catch on and recognize what they are being sold.
I don't need this right now, but this looks both very nice and handy at the same time. Also, catchy name.
I don't know that they're shitting on bootcamp students. I've taught people how to program who later became productive working programmers. I couldn't have taught someone all the stuff I learned in CS. It would have taken forever and I'm not smart enough. I do hope the people who wrote the low-level libraries that the people I taught use went through a CS program, though.

Runtime analysis isn't that difficult of a skill to pick up if you have a decent university-level math background. You can be a productive programmer without that.
That's really cool. If you have any pointers to any resources along those lines, I'd be really interested.

And I absolutely agree. It's a tragedy that maths is taught in such a dry, unengaging way. I think far more people would enjoy it and excel at it if only it were taught in a way that motivated them. Your experience is one of a million demonstrations of that.

For what it's worth, there are a couple of Wikipedia pages which I found to be great jumping-off points - effectively 'sitemaps of mathematics' - to explore mathematics and what parts you may not know yet:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_structure
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_mathematics

They also present 'ways of looking' at mathematics which I find can be eye-opening with any subject. I don't know if you're a lumper or a splitter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumpers_and_splitters), but I'm a lumper, so it helps to see connections and unities between things deep down. (Anyone who's ever read the annoyingly separate study areas of automata vs state machines, and the replicated abstractions and principles – despite them being literally the fucking same thing – will probably see what I mean.)

I don't understand what you don't like about that problem. It's not very computationally intensive. Basically it tests if you know what these matrices look like, if you know how matrix multiplication works, and if you know that matrix multiplication is composition. These are all important ideas to reinforce. There aren't graphical examples because it's a single problem on a list, not an explanation in a textbook chapter.

Google browser is not in the same situation because the abusers are not direct, paying customers of Google and Google is not fighting to both keep them and hide their identity.

we don't really know either do we? The idea of equivalence is not an intuitive path in the universe of possibilities. We don't know if him or others tried other equally singular paths. And do we know to what extent the MM experiment inspired the constancy of speed of light?
It does support ESM, with a --loader[1], but even with its SWC option it’s still significantly slower than the esbuild loader I’m working on. Unfortunately, esbuild isn’t totally compatible with tsc, so it’s not a drop-in replacement without plugins.

I think you are making it sound more complex than it is. ZT is an architecture where people don't need trusted network, but still have the same or better level of security as traditional VPN.

To measure ZT progress, count the services and security controls which rely on VPN/LAN. The closer it is to zero, the closer you are to ZT.

> hugely embarrassing incident

Is this a normal way of looking at state-state relations? I understood the Suez canal thing as a loss of prestige (obviously, the UK was no longer able to 'walk the walk', of being an empire), but to see it as a humiliation seems weird to me. Humiliation implies a degree of popular investment in the imperial project that really wasn't there. States by themselves are not persons, and thus are shameless.

You're right about the monarchy, although they are surprisingly pernicious and deep-rooted in the UK itself. I was pretty shocked when they interrupted every BBC channel on the TV to deliver an announcement about Prince Phillip dying - I was only vaguely aware of who he was, and he neither lived nor died in a remarkable manner. I'm not sure how much ordinary people engage (apparently, most people switched off the telly, and there were a lot of complaints), but the establishment investment in the monarchy is pretty intense.
Seems like in theory this could be solved by having your asterisk system connect the call.

As others have mentioned, CS is not programming. My mom taught programming at a community college. I learned programming in high school.

I think that some of the paradoxes of CS vs programming have to do with a single academic discipline trying to serve conflicting needs, such as:

1. Teaching programming to students who have never programmed before. This is handled differently by different fields. For instance math majors are expected to have a fair amount of high school math in the bag before starting college, but psychology majors have rarely taken psychology in high school.

2. Students with an actual interest in CS itself as a field of study.

3. Students who know that they want to get a college degree in something but are hoping for a career in programming.

4. Competitive students who know that CS is the "hot" major right now.

And high school guidance counselors are pretty much in the dark about it. On the other hand, every college major teaches you more stuff than you will use at your first entry level job. "Why do we need to learn this" is a constant refrain. For instance most engineers will never use their college math after college.

For me, way back in 1982, I skipped CS altogether and studied applied programming by majoring in math and physics.

Road noise is nothing compared to the horror of aircraft noise in US cities.

Average noise level doesn't tell you the frequency spectrum; the low frequency noise from (aircraft, roads, power plants, etc.) is particularly unbearable, and inescapable even inside sound-insulated buildings, while the high frequency noise from (aircraft, turbines, 24/7 emergency vehicles, etc.) hits the 5KHz "crying baby" peak of sensitivity in human hearing.
Do you think that Minkowski was important in the development of GR? Why, specifically? (I mean in its creation, not in the evolution of its interpretation after 1915.)

EDIT: I don’t understand the relationship between the egos of writers and their estimation of Einstein’s role. “Shoulders of giants:” in fact, it was Einstein who jealously guarded his credit for GR and never seemed to mention, in public, the contributions of others, although he did in his private letters.

The end result is that everybody is an "investor" (mostly by proxy via 401k and pension funds), and that is then used as the trump card to shoot down any regulations that would reign in the insanity that is the modern stock market, by pointing out that any reduction in market profits hurts those "investors".
(I work for Mozilla)

Firefox and Mozilla should be scrutinized to some degree. Firefox may be free of charge, and so I agree Mozilla is not directly beholden to its non-paying users. But it is beholden to its mission statement, and it's fair to criticize Mozilla for anything that might violate that statement.

My understanding is that a "donate to Firefox" option is a logistical nightmare, would only be allowed in limited jurisdictions, and is not expected to earn all that much revenue. So in effect, the "donate to Firefox" button would end up mostly supporting the continued existence of the "donate to Firefox" button (lawyers ain't cheap!)

Purchasing services even if you don't use them (eg Firefox VPN; I'm not sure what else has been released yet) is the most direct way of donating to Mozilla Corporation and thereby funding Firefox development. The most important component of which is my personal salary. Thanks in advance!
I agree there is bias in the story. The author clearly wants to prove something.

Given that, it seems to have some interesting points.

1) The data was severely off... for years... and was being used. This is hugely concerning. What decisions were made using this data? Why did no one notice?

2) There were 20M injuries or sicknesses diagnosed every year. That seems high. Maybe the author is wrong about who they count in the database? Could it include dependents, reservists, and national guardsmen? Are these mostly minor issues?

3) The part about pericarditis is interesting. We do know that the vaccine raises the risk of this, and covid even more so. And it's especially high for younger men, which the military is skewed towards. So why is there no increase? What were the historical causes? Is there some protective mechanism in this cohort?

I'm not drawing conclusion about the vaccine like the author did. But something is wrong with how this data is being handled and, largely, ignored.
