The screenshots show the account of someone who has a LinkedIn profile identifying themselves as a Tier 2 Technical Services Engineer [1] working for an outsourced services provider in Costa Rica. They've been in the job for just over a year according to LinkedIn. This person states they provide troubleshooting assistance to Okta customers, and therefore may have needed elevated permissions over a number of Okta internal systems.

This raises a number of architectural questions for Okta:

- Can a support engineer for customers in one region access the systems/databases relied upon by customers in other regions?

- Do employees get notified when their account is logged into or used (e-mail/SMS/otherwise)?

- Do customers get notified when a support engineer accesses (with privileges) a system/database the customer relies upon?

Prioritizing "diversity" over doing good Physics is the best way to sabotage science in western institutions. Our Chinese competitors will love it.
Readme based development sounds like a great idea!! Thanks.
Why? It's a dystopia if someone fathers a lot of children? It's dystopian when those children have heritable (but "artificial") genetic advantages?
I was thinking of this essay exactly. There's a huge amount of powertalk. In the linked Away story, the CEO fired a guy who didn't participate in power play. It was very weird reading it in real life.
10GB or larger? Was thinking about that eg. HHGTG or Encyclopedia I guess. Some SBC/eInk deal or seed among phones.
Thank you! This is an issue I'm aware of and will fix. Never considered zoom... interesting!
If you use anything off the shelf like Keycloak, you're 1 CVE away from being automatically breached too, which is very similar to the situation you'd be in from Okta etc. being breached.
Internally where I work we use RFCs if we want to propose a new feature/addition, it helps bring others in to skim the doc to find out if there is anything they need to add. It's not too bad, I quite like this
> The Tesla FSD system on the other side aims to be a generic driving AI. ... can it ever get so reliable, that the driver can completely hand over to car ever?

Using the current machine learning algorithms? Not likely. Imagine releasing a new airplane and telling the pilot - "this airplane flies well in 99% of scenarios, but 1% of the time it refuses to respond to pilot commands and kills everyone on board. We don't know why it happens but we'll keep training the model". That's the state we're currently at with "AI"; as someone put it, it's alchemy. If it works, we don't know why. If it doesn't, we don't know why - but we tune the parameters until it seems to work. We cannot prove it will work for every possible input. ... Not exactly a scientific approach by any means. Such self-driving cars might be accepted in USA but I imagine they'd quickly get banned in Europe after a few random fatalities.
How does Tesla have the lead? Their autonomous technology seems pretty far behind Waymo and Cruise.
Are you kidding? Most announce "investigation ongoing, we'll release an RCA as soon as it's available". Radio silence means they don't even know how fucked they are.
This is something I miss from the era when I learned to code: thick books of reference material, designed to be comprehensive. At the time, your compiler was called Superlative Language Number, and you had confidence that as long as you double checked the Number.Subnumber supplement, it would keep working the way the thick stack of paper promised it would.

What you memorize here is the table of contents, and approximately where each answer is inside the book. Search might be better at first but it doesn't scale like logarithmic search over a static pile of paper.

There are programs I can still apply this approach to, vim comes to mind, but for the most part documentation is ambient now, with the leading search engine delivering meaningfully worse results year over year.
Taken individually these items are valuable, but I am not sure about these kinds of lists. My own list would have changed each decade of my career. 10 years - idealism, 20 years - compromise, 30 years - realism, etc. It would be good to see a review by the author in 10 years.
Fair enough, I was just irked by this sentence in the article and had to quip. Overall I'm still ambivalent on automated driving, feeling conflicted by claims that it is safer "on average" but simultaneously painfully aware of the shortcomings of machine learning, and susceptibility to attacks.
Again - the difference is that Russians are doing this instead of fighting the Ukrainian army, as opposed to a collateral damage. What US has done was a crime, but Russian actions are even worse.

And most of all: what has happened, it happened. What matters is what’s happening right now, because we can still change it.
Another misaligned incentive is to have a Bug Bounty program, but offer ridiculous low compensation, for highly critical findings that show complete compromise of your platform. That will make it clear you don't take security as a high priority, and the Bug Bounty was just to hit a compliance check list.

Some will take it as a sign they should poke further your system, or shop around for others paying better.
This is now fixed! (Thanks to a contribution by johrpan)
So you're saying Microsoft should have put their source code on a blockchain?
Probably because it's so hard to find stuff in the docs!
I greatly admire Mike Duncan and I have listened to every episode of his History of Rome _and_ his current Revolutions podcast, as well as read the book this article is about, but ...

I think the assertion that Mike Duncan is "a fairly renowned historian" needs some qualifications. For one, I don't think he has a history degree. And while he seems to be very good at compiling various sources and summarising them in a way that is accessible to the general interested public (and I do agree that he doesn't pretend everything is simple when it's not, and that he corrects his mistakes), that doesn't mean that he does original research, or if he does, that this research is in any way peer-reviewed by the larger community of historians.

This is not a bad thing, but it's something to keep in mind when reading a book that tries to paint a particular narrative. (And I did really enjoy reading the book, FWIW)
We are on Auth0 (recently acquired by Okta) and are trying to find the same thing. It could be that it's still too soon for them to have started consolidating, but we'll really have to wait and see what Okta say.
The only reason I could’ve done that then is because I was ridiculously tight with money. All the other tenants didn’t have enough money to spend on even that little — the rent there was structured as a Sam Vimes’ Boots trap, and that principle applies to a lot of things at the low end.

I’m not sure that window would’ve been particularly good as a fire escape in any event — as I recall only the top opened, so I’d have had to smash it and climb through broken glass and then jump one story down onto soil now covered in broken glass.
Russians don’t care about propaganda potential - their army is a joke, so they are targeting civilians as a terror tactics.

My first thought - how React Arborist is different from Ant Tree?
https://ant.design/components/tree/

React Arborist dependencies looks sane
https://github.com/brimdata/react-arborist/blob/main/package...

"react-dnd": "^14.0.3",
"react-dnd-html5-backend": "^14.0.1",
"react-window": "^1.8.6"

However I was never a fan of react-dnd. Extremely hard to reason about react-dnd-html5-backend and spagetti code once you face edge scenarios.

Its ironic and scary how 3.11 was the last Windows with consistent

> I've never regarded memorization highly

You were probably taught that memorization means "memorization, plus you will be examined and punished and rewarded accordingly, in many cases against any natural inclination to memorize the object of conditioning".

I doesn't, but you're right to not regard this highly.

> never memorize anything - if you use the thing often enough

You'll memorize it, yes.
> I personally would rather have a system that I can actually use when I want even if that means I need to accept liability while using it.

It's all a trade-off. My accident-rate thus far is one serious accident in over 700000km of driving. My fender-bender rate is three FBs in over 700000km of driving.

My understanding of the Tesla system[1] is that it requires roughly one intervention every ~5000km of driving in order to avoid an accident. For me this is an unacceptably high risk, because not intervening in 4999km will definitely (100% certainty) mean that I will be in a poor position to react when the intervention is necessary.

Now, you might claim that the driver has to be alert while not in control for 4999km to avoid the accident on the 5000km mark, but if drivers were that good at being alert while not engaged with the act of driving, then the self-driving system is redundant anyway.

[1] I read the stats a long time ago, so maybe they've changed.
Except the general public seem to massively over-estimate how capable aircraft Autopilots are, and then expect Tesla's Autopilot to live up to their inflated expectations.
I'm not going to tell you what movies you should like. Magnolia is a long film, and it takes a while to get where it is going. Some people think it's gimmick-y, others are willing to suspend belief and go with it. But either way, Julianne Moore wound tight, desperate William H Macy, lonely John C Reilly, Jason Robards on his deathbed... these are all epic performances (as is Tom Cruise of course). The secondary players as well -- Philip Baker Hall, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Melora Walters, Jeremy Blackman (kid), Luis Guzman -- are superb. I acknowledge lots of people hate Magnolia but if you found it forgettable, I doubt you were even paying attention in the first place.
I'd happily throw something together myself by scraping a collection of different sites, but I suspect the "live" part is what could be tough. I don't imagine there's free live scores API floating around. And even BBC's scores are frequently minutes behind. And I don't think this is the kind of thing I can justify spending money on (unless I plastered ads all over it, defeating the original purpose).
I may have misread your comment, but android’s userspace is so completely different from the usual linux one that is should not be compared like that at all. The former underwent thousands of paid engineer hours to improve battery life among others, it is no reason to assume that giving a mostly usual desktop DE a narrower screen will result in anything similar.
So, they covered it up in January and now wants us to believe that this is not yet another attempt at covering it up.

Up until that statement I was willing to believe that they only just found out about it.
Not a pro but fastest way I learned is a crash course by Traverse Media on YT, usually a one hour video/gets updated seems yearly.
Again, Russia can’t win this militarily - they are stalled in the south and already losing (being slowly forced to retreat) in the north. Also their economy is in shambles.

You are right they won’t back off easily. That’s why we should considering all the possible ways to hurt Russia; at this point literally anything is a lesser evil.
Huge caveats for the initial rollout. Over here, the speed limit for divided highways with no traffic control systems is 80km/h at a minimum. I guess you need to start somewhere though, even if that is 'traffic jams on highways'.
eMMC sure, but I only added that as a comparison as it was there. This was mainly targeted at the SD card side of things. This post was to show the performance of microSD cards in these specific SBCs, it wasn't a test of the eMMC.
Does FAANG still ask you to Leetcode after 20+ years of experience?
A homage usually means taking one or two shots, or perhaps a motif, from another film. It's common for a film to contain homages to many different films, and that's great - like you say, watching films and picking these out is a lot of fun.

But when a film takes lots and lots of shots and motifs from one single other film, there's a point at which it stops being a homage and becomes plagiarism.

It's been years since I've seen either of these films - although I remember Perfect Blue having a huge impact on me around age 20 - so I don't have an opinion on whether plagiarism happened here or not. Certainly the author of this article wants us to believe it did but I didn't find the article convincing one way or another.

I also wonder how common it is, and what's considered to be an acceptable level in the film industry - are there hard and fast rules about what constitutes plagiarism, like there is in academic writing? Or is there an acceptable level in the US that's different to Japan, perhaps?
> Most musicians don't make more than a couple bucks per month

Most musicians aren't represented in the sampled plays of radio. Those that are, are getting paid nicely.

We don't have to rely on that, given that most risk averse large customers are already asking for SBOM manifests showing all software licence information, version numbers, etc. We have better data available to us.
Tested one of these in New Brunswick [1].

There were lots of bikers testing it out. Good fun, very interesting despite initially thinking that it was a very dull attraction.

In the Cobra scenario, breeding a Cobra has no "cost" beyond the breeding of a Cobra.

If you reported a fraudulent bribe, which was reported to the police there is a risk the briber and you both are arrested.
True.

> I'm not saying the same is necessarily true of any given 'contagious' animal vaccine, but it could be.

That's what I think I wanted to say.. there is a huge difference to anything self-spreading / replicating - be it self-reproducing true AI nano robotors, simple things as self replicating plants (and here we have already a dozen examples of promised containment not working with bad consequences involved - oops) or 'contagious' vaccines.. it needs to be magnitudes safer, not?

So if as an individual there is a minimal risk to my health by taking a mRNA vaccine, I can decide for myself vs the risk of infection or consequences, or also let my doctor decide. It is also easy to run "trials" among the population for studies. But if there is a risk to our complete biosphere, that is just very different for the risk calculation?
I don't want to say lucky, but I have been fortunate WFH for more than two years now. Barely drive my car, gain back and hour or more a day from driving.
They wouldn't be. As the plane descends and the pressure increases the oxygen levels increase as well.
Memorize blank verse, aim for a stanza a day. There's loads of it, and you can be that guy who spouts just a bit too much Shakespeare at parties.

It's closer to prose, but the meter makes it harder to swap words out, and teaches you that words aren't fungible in memorizing a text (as opposed to learning from it, which is most of what we do with texts).
Well for me the time running on battery jumps from 2 hours to +10 hours.

It's just one of those responses that's not actually a response. It's the only response you can give, and you only give it because you're forced to give a response. It's a noop.
It’s not “Russia bad”, it’s “Russia invaded a country for political reasons and is committing multiple war crimes on purpose”.
If Mercedes would apply the same safeguards as Tesla, then Tesla would look not so nicely anymore.

I am still waiting for the promised full autonomous cross-country trip from East to West. I think it was promised for 2019.

While Mercedes had a full autonomous trip including small town traffic and several round-abouts.

Mercedes just applies higher standards on what they deploy on average Joe.
I can't view websites without an ad blocker. It's like after every sentence there is an ad. And the ads don't even blend in it's some crazy shaking video.

What also sucks is the aggregation... Can't deny that's where people are but makes me wonder is there a point to making your own website other than owning the content.
That's true, but some aircraft are now equipped with TCAS and GCAS which will automatically seize partial control from the pilot and maneuver to avoid some types of crashes. So far I think those systems have been 100% reliable but the manufacturers would be liable if they caused a crash.
Have you seen how thick the librem 5 is? I think it is think because of the two m.2 slots in it, but I don't think you would want it any thicker.

I try to observe things from "30 thousand feet", the current climate in Western countries is hysterical, emotional and it clouds a lot of things. Mostly try to keep it to Thomas Schelling's teachings when analyzing a given situation (behavior & deterrence being the important keywords).
Not right now. I might write a post on my blog for something more readable later.
So? Non Canonical code can be written in any language. The important thing is: There is a canonical way in the stdlib to specify durations that is easy to read for the programmer.
> They offered to settle through mediation with a laughable amount of money which I can earn in less than 4 years.

That sounds like you technically have adequate resources to legally throw the book at this situation. IMHO that's objectively the most (only?) important part. The problem is fundamentally solved. It's just a question of logistics.

And on that note, it sounds like the emotional toll this has taken has been paralyzing. This is completely reasonable given the circumstances. Traumatizing events can indeed latch the emotions into a state that make it painful if not impossible to fight back from a position of strength.

There was a thread on HN a little while ago about hiring executive/personal assistants (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29336234), with one comment that particularly leapt out at me (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29341375) as it really inspired an appreciation of the potential of what a good EA could be and do.

In this situation, I think it might be interesting to find a good EA/PA or project manager to coordinate the litigation process and keep you out of the proceedings as much as possible. Their empathetic encouragement would help you with the day-to-day of keeping on keeping on, and their drive and aggression would help to represent your interests in those ways you currently cannot.

This EA/PA/PM would also coordinate the process of getting you adequate psychological support to help patch together what can never fully heal :(. The shorter-term focus would be on getting you functional so the 1-10% of the litigation process you do still have to participate in is not utterly unpalatable, and the medium-/longer-term focus would naturally be on healing and optimizing/aiming for restoration wherever possible.

The bittersweet caveat in this process is that, depending on how things play out, the transformative nature of this person's involvement in your life may mean that you may well retain a long-term professional working relationship for a very long time, or you may want to move on by leaving this person in the past and never talking to them again at some point.

In terms of finding someone good, it could be useful to simply throw everyday busywork at them, the stuff you're already doing, so you have things to bikeshed about and duke out that aren't charged full of emotionally-fraught reference points. After you think you have a culture fit maybe you can relinquish one or two "we usually manage this" things, and if they don't blow those up then you can properly launch. A bit of a project, but it's probably better to take charge by limping along in slow motion rather than hand the keys over immediately only to realize everything's being misrepresented and you're being taken advantage of, which would certainly hurt a lot.

The best part about all of this: it all fits into the scope of the lawsuit, so this person's costs would be able to be recouped as part of the final settlement, possibly independently to the agreed-upon payout.
I think the crucial thing here is, in this case if you don't do any of that, Mercedes will still take responsibility for a crash until the ten seconds is up.

Therefore they need to be very confident in that ten second rule, and naturally we look for cases where it might not work out well.

Losing a child is one of the most devastating things that can happen to a person and to the relationship between a couple.

I would find a support group of others who have experienced this loss and understand the magnitude of the situation, as well as seek guidance from a grief counselor who specializes in the loss of a child.
They offered to settle because they've been forced to pay out for similar cases before. Just last year, Republic Services (who is almost certainly who you're referring to, if not WM, but RSC is closer to $40B) was found responsible in a similar case in Nevada and the mother was awarded $38 million by the jury: https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-las-vegas/jury-awa...

It doesn't bring your child back, but working with an accident attorney who is compassionate and may be able to wage the battle without too much direct involvement from you may get you more of what you feel is justice in this case.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss, by the way.
I don’t think they’re going to be able to improve battery life for much. Not even with lots of FOSS developers throwing hours at it.

I’ve read somewhere recently that in order to keep the phone mostly free of proprietary firmware, Purism had no choice but pick lots of discrete components. That would be in contrast to most other smartphone designs with more closely integrated chipsets, they wrote.

That discrete-ness, according to the author, is likely to be an upper bound for battery lifetime on the Librem 5. After all, all those chips have to be powered at least part of the time, and that allegedly consumes more energy than a single package would.

In other words: the Librem 5 may never gain a decent battery lifetime. As drivers mature, battery usage may improve a little. But not much. Buyers may want to keep their hopes realistic.
