There are videos from multiple different media outlets showing ordinary civilian refugees being shelled. None are armed.

Your claim makes no sense. Why would Ukraine want to hide soldiers in refugees leaving the country? Even if they did, then being unarmed and leaving means they’re not legitimate targets.

> And further, why would you only have one mechanism for tenancy enforcement? Networking is a fine boundary, but there should have been a token as well.

Honestly, this bug, and this comment on the recent ChaosDB bug, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29296170, make me think that Azure just doesn't know how to do tenant segregation securely. These types of bugs where some small flaw allow complete takeover of other accounts (or worse, complete takeover of the whole service) are pretty catastrophic.
That's not the point. The point is that systems, better or worse, don't change distribution. They're all Zipfy. Bitcoin is as Zipfy as the USD or the Chinese yuan.

They're all subject to the math underlying human behavior. If it doesn't look Zipfy, it's not real.

You think modern trade agreements can't be coercive?
Yep. Definitely lawyers (specifically those involved in high value transactions) are targeted.

All you need to do is convince one of their customers that you are speaking on behalf of the lawyer and get them to send the money to you instead.

> His advice for us: lean into what the nerds are doing

Wait, so I thought surely this would be "us" at least in some broad way, but also:

> He borrows against the NFT in U.S. dollars, then uses the capital as a lender in a riskier, higher-interest DeFi transaction (I.E. the 20% UST yield we showed you on Friday).

OK he would be eaten alive in most tech communities if he even threw this idea out there.

The contingency-planner nerds would start talking about 2008 while they look around for a flat surface to lay on, and the more analytical nerds would probably ask if he even knows how much money he really needs to get by.

It's like, lean into what the nerds are doing, but not _those_ nerds. You'd need to filter for the ones who are worried about not being risky enough & cutting-edge enough.
"If my bank goes bad, I have a guarantee of 85,000 pounds from the UK government" I'm not going to get on a soapbox for crypto, but ... I mean, if that fully insures your savings after a long career in tech ... but that's an ad hominem. I just thought it was funny.

The only promise I see for cryptocurrency is a weird one, one that is the exact opposite of practically all crypto designs. It deals with a fundamental issue of "cash": Once you have "laundered" whatever it is you did into cash, you are mostly absolved of the sins you committed to getting that cash. Sure there are regulations, laws, and fees. But over the long haul of our civilization, there is far more money extracted for the detriment of the world and whitewashed by political influence, apathy, or legal precedent.

So most cryptocurrencies are for furthering the "money laundering" aspect of cash. Make it even more laundered and flexible. I want it instead to represent something that anti-launders the measurement of wealth, by storing some facsimile datapath of the money being extracted and then intermingled in the economy. I want MORE karma in my currency, not less.

What I would like is a cryptocurrency that could devalue currencies that represent activity that resulted in destruction. The ledger would track the source of money from transactions and payments, and devalue those monies that, say, resulted in the destruction of the environment, killed many people, gave an entire city cancer.

With current money, once you have it in money, you're home free. There is no simplified "undo" function in the economy.

Now, HOW you would do that? Ok, no idea, but a blockchain is a distributed way to do it. Well, ok you could use a database too. Really the best anti-crypto argument I saw was "think you want blockchain? You probably just need a database", posted here about a year ago.

In 2008/2009, there were also lots of people who were previously priced out, but that didn't help stem the tide of foreclosures. The depth of the "order book" is far from the whole story when you're dealing with an illiquid, non-fungible good that's also encumbered by a lien.

Here's a concrete example that I can take from my own life experience: there was a house we were quite interested in buying. The house's realistic value for the market at the time should have been something we could afford. But the owners simply couldn't let it go for less than about $50,000 more than that, because that was the price at which they could pay off their home loan. So, too bad, no deal. And apparently nobody else would buy it at that price, either. About a year later, this gorgeous, well-cared-for house was foreclosed on, and then at some later date people broke in and ripped out all the copper and whatnot, and so this house eventually got auctioned off as a rehab/teardown job for a (presumable) fraction of what we would have bought it for.
All of those guys were great, but oddly I interacted the most with Hemos, probably due to mutual interests in things like Frank Herbert and weird ambient music (e.g. Eno, Laswell).

I'm no fan of the invasion, but "the war had already been planned and decided months ago" is not an argument you might think it is -- NATO stuff was going on pretty much since USSR dissolution, and 2014 stuff with Crimea was first act in the same war, in response to regime change on Ukraine and some progress in shelf oil development there that threatened Russia's hold on EU markets.
I’d rather trust math, than a politician who claims to respect human rights. Do you know the only technology you can defend to protect human rights? Cryptography.

A NAS it's not a backup, it's something you use to store data on it.

The backup I was referring to is the offline one. If I need to backup data, something that unfortunately I don't do as often as I should, I need a filesystem that is reliable, that is proven (ext4 is around since more than a decade, and if we count the previous version even more, so in 20 years I'm confident that I would be able to mount an ext4 hard drive that I forgot in the garage in a modern system, with BTRFS, who knows), and that for it they exist a lot of tools in case something goes wrong (there are ton of tools to recover data from damaged ext4 drives, are we sure that with BTRFS is as easy? If I have a filesystem with compression recovering data I don't think is a simple as running photorec...)

Also, the filesystem of a backup drive is not something you can change easily. I still have an old 1Tb drive that I formatted long long time ago in NTFS, and I never changed the filesystem since having to backup all the data to another drive (find it another 1Tb drive), format the drive, and copy back the data will take 1 day. Not that there are things super important on that drive, mostly is stuff I downloaded from the internet years ago, still it's an example why for a backup drive I don't want to have the cutting edge choice that then creates problems in the future.

Ext4 is ubiquitous, so it's my filesystem of choice for all the purpose that have the requirement that the data must be archived for more than 2 years.
The odd thing about the Nimitz story is that it wasn't just pilots, but an entire carrier group, which was undergoing initial training/practical operation of it's brand new Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC)[1], which essentially allows various ships and aircraft to combine or fuse and radar data.. A plane for example could radar lock and fire a missile at something it's radar doesn't see.

Pilot error is definitely possible, but multiple systems also failing at the same time seems less likely. If it is a sensor issue, it seems to have persisted into more recent versions of the system and their exercises.[2] On one hand it's possible it's due to working out kinks with new systems. On the other if you had craft and you wanted to see how well it could perform against CEC radar it would have been a pretty good time to do so. Of course it's possible even given all that the whole thing is bogus.

Nobody at the time denied that Austria was an occupied state. Which was perfectly reasonable given its position as having started WWII as part of Germany.

Same reason Germany and Japan were both under allied control and occupation for a while after the war.

A coffee table made of wood can only be used by a couple people at a time,
and it can only be in one person's living room at a time.
There might be more than a couple people who want to use it,
and they might all want it in their living room.
These are conflicting desires.
To resolve this conflict, someone has to have the authority to decide
where the coffee table will go and who gets to use it.
The most natural choice is usually the person who made it,
although in some cases it might be someone else.

A coffee table made of code can be used by an infinite number of people
in an infinite number of virtual living rooms.
Everyone who wants to use it is able to,
and everyone can have one in their living room without conflict.
Since there is no conflict,
there is no need for anyone to decide its resolution.
I'm very skeptical of the "damage is permanent" claim. I wouldn't be surprised if it's used to hype up the event even more just like the hype around the fact that this is satellite terminals being hacked even though I believe the attack is very boring and would equally apply to any terrestrial-based ISP whose management network is compromised.

I would bet good money that what they claim "permanent damage" is just misconfiguration that prevents the terminal from connecting to the network but can be recovered via an on-site visit, and hyping up the entire event also works in the company's favour as an ass-covering technique as I suspect the actual vulnerability is very simple & boring (which would be very bad if it were go to public that they have such bad security).
I love this assumption because this is why BlockFi, Nexo, Gemini and Coinbase Staking can offer people like 4% fixed, simply because its more believable.

Behind the scenes they use the capital deposited with them to get 30% and more, in these Defi protocols of the day, and just pocket the difference. Similar to banks, just with much wider yields.

"Why bother explaining just offer them something ‘super edgy’ like 3 percent higher than their bank gives!"

The pyramid scheme parts of crypto offer much larger percentages, by multiple orders of magnitude. Although each protocol has to be evaluated independently.

Typically these protocols earn from volume and size of transactions moving through other parts of the economy, as they take a cut while providing a service that makes it easier for volume to occur. They then just extrapolate the earnings over a prior time period, compared to the current amount of capital deposited with the protocol, and display a percentage return. These are not fixed returns as many factors can affect the actual return on capital.

One primary factor is that if there was more capital deposited then the % would be much lower. People don't deposit capital to that extent because there are so many other places to get higher than 30% yields. Its just a boomtown, the pie is really that big.

In traditional markets something similar occurs but people move capital chasing yields down to 2% or less. Using the same logic on the next opportunity "Oh I won't except 0.75%, I can get 2% on this other bond!"
Just invest in real estate or vanguard funds. Much lower downside.
A sysadmin's rant about feed readers and crawlers
Summary:

# Background material

- Fundamental (particle) Physics has no progress since the 1970s.

- discovery of Higgs is confirmation of old Physics.

- other predicted fundamental particles has never been discovered.

- Fine tuning problems

- smallness of Higgs mass

- smallness of the cosmological constants

- reductionism as Kenneth Wilson's concept of effective field theory (EFT)

- separation of scales—UV (small scales)

can be treated as a cut off of IR (large scales).

# Main message

The 2 fine tuning problems above are examples that are UV-sensitive,
unlike other usual examples in EFT.

This is hint of physics that mixes UV and IR scale:
example of black hole—higher energy -> larger event horizon.

I actually don't love the idea of cheat-sheets but maaaybe if it's a cumulative final I could see it being helpful?

Once the old guard left or were jettisoned from VA, the fall was inevitable. The desperation crept in to survive and it rapidly became a race to the bottom.

Thank you! Data science interviews are definitely on our roadmap, but unfortunately we won't be able to get there within the next quarter. Biggest reason for this? Nobody on our team has data science experience! I'm not going to pretend like we know how to interview data scientists when none of us actually have the experience, but we will be spending time collaborating with (if not straight up hiring) a few data scientists to help build out our first few DS interviews.

> socially we could agree to use the word "theft" to also include software/media piracy, but I personally don't think we should

Do you personally feel that wage theft isn't theft?

Same hypothetical, except the cherries Joe picks aren't actually Joe's—they're Jill's. Jill owns some farmland where cherries grow, and she lets people pick them. They do so on the premise that cherry pickers get paid by Jill on Tuesdays. Joe moves to town and picks cherries there all week and then hands them over. Jill says "thanks" and then slams the door in Joe's face. Does this fail to meet the threshold for the appropriate use of the word "theft"? Joe has not had anything taken from him[1]—certainly not any physical property[2] he could do anything else with or ever plausibly argue "That's mine" to anyone willing to lend a sympathetic ear—because the cherries were never his.[3]

Somewhere between useless and a godsend. It depends upon your application. There are many choices in materials and printer set-up options that greatly change the results that you get. Depending on how demanding your application is, you may or may not find the result meets your needs. A friend that is a freelance mechanical designer for medical devices has a small, inexpensive (relatively) SLA printer, and she sometimes is running it flat-out for days doing prototypes to show clients. Instead of sending that to a service and billing it through, she gets to bill it directly, allowing for a nice margin and also giving client a discount. My friends that build hobby robots use FDM printers for a lot of functional parts -- and results vary depending mostly on how appropriately the part was designed. But a Prusa is a lot cheaper and a lot easier to run than a CNC milling machine, on the flip side a chunk of FDM plastic doesn't compete well with a chunk of aluminum or titanium. At my work, we 3D print a lot of functional enclosures and other low-mechanical-load parts for prototyping.
Hard work as a virtue made as much sense as bearing as many children as possible when life was poorer and much less certain. An indefinite amount of labor was needed to survive on a farm or frontier.

Now, that habit is unnecessary
for many people. Except, competetive pressures still exist if you are attuned to them, and some amount of work is necessary to produce enough to compensate for your production.

What’s the right amount? Consider religious observation. Some religions welcome complete devotion to the religious cause, except that everyone spending all day praising and paying results in no crops raised or fish caught, and everyone dies. Seems similar.
