I (along with other) have been filing whistleblower reports on blatant price manipulation on an OTC stock for the entirety of last year (about 30 reports of naked short selling, wash trading). Not one peep from the SEC. It's been eye-opening to see the amount of fraud in the financial markets that goes unchecked. Sometimes I question my sanity that I persist in this stock and whether what I see is illegal. Good to see that they are going after bigger fish, letting the smaller ones go.

Not sure about the details of the Twitch hack, but yeah the GoDaddy setup was pretty insecure.

The top comment of the GoDaddy post you linked literally says "This could have been an easily avoidable data breach."
iOS Safari I simply clicked the tab icon and closed it.
That's pretty straightforward actually. I mostly just skimmed the GitHub. I have a server already at home so why not add this small feature to it right? :)
This is probably an opinion that I have that is the furthest away from the overton window, but while I wholeheartedly agree (and think drugs should be legalized FWIW), I draw a very different conclusion. Jails definitely don't work as rehabilitation and only prevent crime via removal from society. Also, they are very expensive. So, for better removal, I think habitual criminals (violent or property) should simply be executed. The only problem with death penalty for those who refuse to respect others' negative rights really is the risk of false convictions, and after 3 separate robberies or 5 thefts it is basically 0.
Unfortunately, "throttled" does not fix the problem on these particular models. See https://github.com/erpalma/throttled/issues/255
I never said affordable housing alone would solve it.

I'm quite confident that doubling down on going draconian on people who have no means to fix their own problems absolutely won't make anything better. If you take that far enough, the logical conclusion is something inane like "we should just shoot all homeless people" or something.

People have to be given a path back. Cutting them off will not magically cure what ails them.
> I don't think whataboutism is productive.

Except that this isn't 'whataboutism' since I already agreed with what you said, that GiveSendGo definitely had poor security whilst also not supporting or justifying with hacktivists, criminals or script-kiddies attacking anyone's site.

> Nor did I "cheer on" anything:

Never directly accused you for cheering: I'm only predicting the obvious.

If one is supporting hackers breaching other peoples websites they don't like, whilst defending another with that phrase which applies to everyone as an excuse for it, then you would fall under that category.

> And then they fall. It has become sadly predictable.

Yes, it's very predictable. Unfortunately it can happen to anyone. Whether if you are big like GoDaddy or small like GiveSendGo. These hackers are not on anyone's side.

Truncated for posting:

Insurrection (?), n.:
1. A rising against civil or political authority, or the established government; open and active opposition to the execution of law in a city or state.

“It is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.”

Ezra iv. 19.

2. A rising in mass to oppose an enemy. [Obs.]

Syn. -- Insurrection, Sedition, Revolt, Rebellion, Mutiny. Sedition is the raising of commotion in a state, as by conspiracy, without aiming at open violence against the laws. Insurrection is a rising of individuals to prevent the execution of law by force of arms. Revolt is a casting off the authority of a government, with a view to put it down by force, or to substitute one ruler for another. Rebellion is an extended insurrection and revolt. Mutiny is an insurrection on a small scale, as a mutiny of a regiment, or of a ship's crew.

I'd like to have a good dumbphone. Here are my requirements:

- good keypad (no accidental double presser, clear tactile feedback)

- voice calls, SMS

- 4g wifi hotspot

- power management good enough to not run out of battery when used as a wifi hotspot and plugged in

- good ui for the requirements above (e.g. ability to choose whether wifi is shut down if no connected devices)

(bonus points for being rugged and waterproof)

My previous try, nokia 8110 new version nailed 2 out of those 5, and as a result, I gave up pretty soon. To my knowledge there is no phone in the market at the moment that fills these requirements, and I find it odd.
Very true. On the other hand, it was previously believed that the real estate market could never go down, which led to highly leveraged positions in that market from homeowners to banks.

Yeah, but unless you claim that no politician has ever been the least influenced by his constituency, there's no reason not to.

Of bloody course writing your representative is better than not writing them: It stands at least a chance (however infinitesimal) of accomplishing something. Not doing it doesn't; by definition, it can't. That's a logical syllogism. Logical syllogisms don't need experimental confirmation.

So how could and why would one not believe that doing something is, must be, better than doing nothing? That's not "healthy skepticism", it's turning it into illogical nonsense.

Absolutely correct, but that doesn't really change the validity of either of the points that I made.
Same. I definitely don't want to stay in this field for decades, bc companies see you as radioactive as an ilder worker instead of a venerable expert of years of experience. I don't think that'll ever change, anytging code slinging related is susceptible to be biased to older workers.
I've worked at cost center companies for my entire career but recently jumped to a profit center company. The difference in how tech and tech employees are treated is night and day.

Pretty much every big company these days is driven by technology and would collapse without technology. But cost center companies tend to treat tech and tech employees as a necessary evil instead of a respected peer.

The worst thing about smartphones (In my case android) is how closed they are.

Rooting is getting more difficult, bootloaders are getting more and more unlockable, SafetyNet and this new Play Integrity API are simply user-hostile.

There is absolutely no real rational reason to deny root access. Sure, non-technical people could mess something up, but if you make rooting just a combination of putting it in e.g. the fastboot mode and then running a single command to get root access. (Factory-State: No root-access), nobody would accidentally mess up the phone.
It is indeed stated, I did not know that, thanks for the reference. I don't think it's serious though. By the same measure Extinction Rebellion would be considered an insurrection. I kinda remember BLM stating demands that included a separatist black country in the south. Hardly constitutional.

I think the threat would have to be serious to count as an insurrection, as in an actual credible plan to carry it out to fruition.

Otherwise every crackpot would be guilty of insurrection.

> For privacy/security use a non-Android Linux-based phone.

I agree entirely, mostly because there's not a huge difference between that and simply not carrying a phone... or your battery is dead unless you carry a bag full of spares.

The state of non-Android Linux phones (PinePhone, Librem 5, etc) leaves an awful lot to be desired, and I'll argue that for most of the stuff that actually works on those devices right now, you're better off carrying a random flip phone that works on modern networks, with week+ battery life. They'll do about the same things, but the flip phone is far cheaper and more likely to actually send/receive phone calls if you need it to.

I'm glad the non-Android Linux devices exist, I have a PinePhone I'm messing with, but they're not really daily driver grade yet, without quite a bit of pain.

I wrote one of these where it moves the popup window all over the screen, and rapidly opened and closed the popup (not an alert), making it impossible to click.

I was unable to stop my own creation and had to ctrl-alt-del kill the browser - except that when I started the browser again, it went back to the last opened window.

It took a bit of work regaining control. I wish I had saved the code, although it wouldn't work today since browsers restrict window open/close these days.
That's why I wrote "virtually". Others suggested virtualization, which I think would be a good tradeoff that doesn't require usability changes to the underlying OS (and would finally put the processor to good use). Other than that, the inability to code on iOS is due to artificial gatekeeping by Apple, not due to design decisions. There are many ways coding (and probably other types of apps!) on iOS would be possible, if it wasn't for Apple.
I started using TikTok and wanted to check how it would suggest me videos if I didn't like anything, as it would make it easier for it and I wouldn't be able to see how sophisticated it really is.

So it obviously would start in a very broad content but already target at my demographics (male 30-40 y/o, which BTW gave a worrying amount of very young girls dancing in a sexualized way) but with time it would certainly adapt and be really spot on on the videos I liked (mainly stand up/comedy stuff). Everything based in signals other than liking of following.

They obviously track all interactions from the user (time watching, repeats, shares, OP profile checks, etc) to make this targeting. Also its ML for visual recognition used to identify key aspects on the video (people, location, etc...) is very powerful as it would guess my favorite comedians and start exploring with other videos.

Also they certainly use bandit/lookalike model there as it would recommend some wildly different videos for me.

And I can bet that that last video it shows when you click to leave the app (on Android at least) is probably the highest rated recommendation for you. To really lock you in there.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. This entirely matches up with my experience of smartphones. If you are running a non-top of the line Android device, random slowdowns are not unusual.
> In 2006 I don't know that I would have thought Apple would have dominated the market as much as it has,

But that is the most important point. The rest is trivial, but knowing which organization will be able to capitalize on it is the only relevant fact if you are trying to optimize for a return.

In 2006, the mobile network owners seemed in prime position to use their monopoly to squeeze everyone else, as well as Blackberry completely dominating the ecosystem.

In 2006, I do not know what kind of evidence a person would have had to KNOW apple, alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Facebook would be where they are relative to ATT/Verizon/T-Mobile/Blackberry.
All you can do is give a good talk about why you're reformed. One thing that does work for you is that firms that decide to interview you must have given it some thought already, so there's got to be a chance.

> They are unequal devices. Smartphones are unapologetically devices for consumption. In this regard they differ critically from PCs, because PCs are equal devices in the sense that the same device is used for creation and consumption.

False. I bet the vast majority of content available online is now (think of pics and short videos) created on smartphones.

> They are not real network clients. Smartphones have powerful CPUs and fast network connections, except that you aren't actually allowed to use these resources in any meaningful sense, because doing so consumes battery power, and people don't want the precious battery life of their phones drained unnecessarily.

Falsy (maybe truee in 2016 when the article was written)

...

> They have led to massive centralization. Part of the “cloud” movement is probably driven by the fact that while smartphones have substantial computational resources, you can't actually use them because of battery life. So instead the computation is done in the cloud, creating a dependency on a centralized entity.

Maybe true

> They have ruined web design.

Nope, poor "mobile first" (aka let's apply mobile ui patterns to every other devices) ruined webdesign

> There are no secure smartphones.

True, like there's no secure PC. Or mac.
Monday yes but Tuesday maybe not. The mask mandate is supposedly being lifted on the 15th in California.
> They have ruined web design. But I should probably write a whole article on that.

I sure am looking forward to that article, from where I'm sitting they absolutely saved web design.

Before mobile, I absolutely could not get any designer to grok that browser windows were flexible things, and most users were not looking at the web on full-screen browsers on desktop displays. The term "responsive design" didn't even exist until the advent of the smartphone, to the best of my knowledge.

Hell, we were still looking down the barrel of an eternity of MSIE 6 support until iOS Safari became important. (and the Youtube thing, of course)
Competition law has morphed so it's all about making sure BUSINESSES including absolute scum can get into walled gardens and make their money.

The reality is at least for some segment of the market, having apple throwing it weight around with these "wonderful" providers who would NEVER thing of doing a subscription dark pattern (haha - dating apps have a horrible history here) is appreciated? Desired?

My question - the internet is subject to regulation, why don't these regulators focus on ANY of the absolute CRAP on the internet. Fake news stories, fake tech support, money scammers etc etc. Instead we are stuck with folks like scambaiters doing their thing (for free) and our billion dollar competition etc agencies sit on their butts.

>So my advice to anyone who already got rich from their investments in the last couple of years: Congratulations! Now take that money, invest it in the most boring thing possible, and enjoy life.
To everyone who is trying to get rich quick now: Do your thing I guess, but be aware that you're gambling.

That right there is the best advice. If you want to get rich quick, you're going to have to make some calculated bets with higher return and thus higher risk. However, if those bets work out and you do become rich, don't fool yourself into thinking you're some kind of super genius that can consistently beat the market.

This can be a hard lesson for people to learn (it took me a long time), because in most aspects of life success is more skill based. With investing, there is more decoupling between action and outcome due to randomness, and you have to always consider you may have made the right choice and lost, or you may have made the wrong choice and won. In the case of the latter, take your winnings and be happy, but don't delude yourself into thinking you made a good play. This is extremely hard, you have to be willing to put your ego aside and realize you actually made a mistake that made you a lot of money.

I think ordinary people with the right knowledge and foresight at the right time can beat the market in the short term. The trick is to be extremely patient until you have a reasonable level of confidence you have an edge in a bet with an asymmetrical return, and then take a position with conviction. I've done this a few times in my life, and the knowledge, timing, and luck all happened to work out for me. I've also had that feeling a few other times where things went south. Luckily for me the winners far exceeded the losers. However, I wouldn't con myself into believing I can consistently generate an edge. I simply made a small number of calculated bets when the stars all aligned for me. It's very possible the stars will never align for me again like that, which is why I've now moved most of my money into ETFs and other safe investments.

One way to spot someone who doesn't know what they're doing with investing and trading, is you never hear about their losses. You never hear about their net gains. You never hear them tell you the story of when they drunkenly made a really stupid leveraged stock pick that just happened to work out from pure luck. No, you hear all about the winners, all about how they knew for sure it would work out for all these reasons. You just see the overflowing ego that gambling has drummed up, rather than the intellectual honestly of someone who has sat back and grappled with the tough question, "did I make all this money because I'm smart, or am I just a dump and lucky ape?"

I live in NYC and Christina Yuna Lee's death on Sunday morning has left me in complete shock. I have an older sister that is the same age and lives in that area as well. We are also Korean just like Lee for that matter.

Lee's death, along with Michelle Go, is a spectacular failure by NYC in so many ways. We are living in this city pretending like Penn station isn't literally a homeless camp now with addicts shooting up heroin openly in the streets. These are people that are refusing treatment or help and destroying this city and the subway.

Christina Yuna Lee's murderer had multiple charges on him, including assault charges. He should never have ever been on the street. We need to stop valuing the life of criminals above normal citizens. And we need to actually enforce Kendra's Law and build mental institutions outside of the city.
Possibly. I feel split on this. I believe we need stronger testing. But I also wonder, if someone is following the law (which is vast), what would be the other steps for reasonable care?
Unfortunately, that doesn't work, because the old cell network radios don't exist anymore.

You can get a modern flip phone or such, that supports things like VoLTE (AT&T is dropping support for all non-VoLTE phones here... soon, if they haven't already), and there are some candybars, but going with "older devices" will soon enough prevent you from connecting to the cell networks at all. 2G is gone in most areas, 3G is going away, etc.
Well as for salaries, many people in countries that on paper look a lot more developed, make similar money. It's almost typical in provincial Russia.
You know it's funny - I read your comment earlier today and it stuck out because I have one old acquaintance who does the same thing -- we really weren't that close when we lived in the same city but he still pings me every once in a while just to say "what's up?". For some reason I find it exceedingly annoying, although I generally really like staying in touch with people.

Anyway, as if his ears were burning, he actually sent me a "what's up?" text about 5 minutes ago (first time in a year). So I had to come back here and comment because the timing was just too perfect :)

I've got a nitpick that x.val() in Java is not accurately represented as (val x) in a scheme. there's a few different ways schemes do objects but two common ones are to either:

Treat x as callable and call it with a symbol representing a member method:

(x 'val)

Or have a macro that takes the object and method name as arguments, for example:

(send x val)

I've also seen schemes that have class definitions introduce functions for each method/property so if x is an instance of SomeClass:

(SomeClass-val x)
