I would not download a code leak for a few reasons.

First, I want to be able to contribute code to open source projects, and I feel like seeing some "leaked" code could somehow taint me in a way that makes this more tricky for me.

Second, my employer expects me to act in a manner that reflects positively upon them. I don't think it's fair business dealings to read stolen code from someone who might be a competitor.
I don't think this is doubling down so much as singling down.

The problem with unit tests and code reviews is that they ultimately aren't sexy. There's no way to do them that destroys the integrity of the system. Especially when a large percentage of the code written is passable. Yes, reviewing and testing code that works and is bug free is a bit of a waste of time. But you won't know what code isn't working and bug free unless you test and review.

And then there's the fact that most of what we do is not that important. If my code is buggy or inefficient or a third thing, the worst thing that happens is a few people frown while I get it sorted. If you knew that if your code had a bug in it, it would definitely kill 5 - 10 people every time it is run, you'd treat review and testing with the utmost importance because the cost of committing buggy code is way too high.

Testing and review becomes exactly as important as your product.
Monoculturing the west's authorization/identity stack - Is that something we want to do? Authz/Authn as a service is great, until it isn't.

There are pros and cons both ways. You're centralizing the risk, but also centralizing the effort for quality. Perverse incentives however causes loss of quality: saying you fucked up will lose you customers, and some of that sweet, sweet stock value.

The fact that you can work for these companies without security clearance seems a bit insane. The more they grow and centralize, the more of a national security risk they become. It's not hard to get hired at Okta, and when you're in, you're in. At what point is not solving a security bug at Okta that you've discovered and selling it for monero more lucrative than actually fixing the bug? I realize that not everyone is like me and has a strong values that prevents them from doing so, and that scares me. If you're talented, it's super easy to backdoor a system and get around code-review

I've run into this with airlines and rental car companies: being polite and asking if there's anything they can do to help some situation be less cruddy (even it is was your fault that you missed boarding your flight) often nets something that's at least passingly-pleasant

Had Hertz (my least-favorite rental company) give me a discount on a substitute vehicle because I really didn't want to be driving a Suburban for the week (I'd rented a midsize, but they were out of everything but full-size SUVs). They knocked it down to a compact rate for the week (which, to an extent, I didn't really care about - it was a work trip, but I also didn't need all the space and hassle of the big vehicle)

Delta gave my wife and I $400 travel vouchers, rebooked us First Class home, and gave us meal vouchers to make up for getting our honeymoon return trip broken (somehow we ended up on different itineraries). This was right after watching the counter rep do the absolute least to the family in front of us that was extremely rude to the rep.

Just SMILING at the counter rep can make a world of difference :)

I used to get free upgrades at Dollar next to Bradley airport just because I smiled to the manager and his fiancee-then-wife when I'd come in and ask how their weekend was (I spent ~8mos flying into BDL every week several years ago - all but about 3 of those trips utilized Dollar for my car rentals): I'd book the compact of "manager special" rate, and always got bumped up a class (or 4) ...just for being polite
I think you're ignoring that there now entire classes of wealth where value for money is entirely secondary to instant gratification.

Anti-scalping measures are going to be necessary more and more often as the super-rich diverge from the merely rich and the rich diverge from the poor etc.
Doctors notes: removed 2 polyps

Which is true? (Based on a true story)
I may be an exception to the rule, but I went back three times to the same company in the last ten years for large pay increases and promotions each time (30% increase over previous salary the first go-'round, 50% increase over second turn's salary the second go-'round). I ended up leaving again both times after 1.5-2 years, largely for the same reasons I left the first time, i.e., fatigue and widespread low company morale. Totally worth it though as ultimately it helped increase my negotiating power for other opportunities I pursued in between those stints.

It's been about a year and a half since I last left them - I suspect one of their veeps will be reaching out sometime in the next few months just to "see how (I'm) doing"...I don't think I'd go back this time if they do reach out unless they throw obscenely obscene amounts of money my way.
Raspberry Pis are developed by a literal charity that has making computing and computing education affordable as its mission. That's why he's getting downvoted. This attitude is effectively saying charity should be punished and profit is the only worthy goal any organization should ever have.
heh, does Intel have any chance to catch up? They fell so far behind.
I completely agree and that's almost my entire point. Innovation that depends on the ignorant being enlightened is almost impossible to accomplish - innovation needs to work around ignorance and accomplish itself through smaller steps that provide benefits to everyone. I really wish this weren't the case as it gives immense momentum to doing things the wrong way - but it's something we need to cope with.

(I admit I may have worded my comment a bit better with a "that" - 'If innovation can't happen until the ignorant are enlightened we're never going to see that innovation.')
Awesome, I look forward to try your managed service.
Compare a 72C Grace against an 80C Ampere Altra which is priced at $4K (without RAM).

Why not use worldwide stats? Self driving cars will take many years to propagate to all the worlds cars (which will eventually happen), but it still holds true, if it takes 5 extra years that is 7 million deaths

No, compared to the Rest of the world the US is on the Libertarian / Federalism side of politics. I like that

I like liberty, I like freedom, I like federalism.

Yeah, I got the trial and it did not install any plug-ins.

I am close to buying it regardless. I plan to record various pieces which could be extensively used in the DAW for layering in post, triggering at a live gig, etc. Basically same as digitized audio from a live instrument, voice or hardware synth—slice and dice it, layer, transpose, reverse. Not as many possibilities as from a playable DAW plug-in, but still quite a few.
Tegra X2 and Xavier are still sold today and contain NVIDIA-designed CPU cores. The team behind those is building new designs too, I wonder when they’re going to announce something.
> your Gmail account compromised

The access is transient and you remain in ownership over the credentials and account, because the credentials were not compromised (just the programs/browsers with pre-existing auth). Though with physical access it's probably only a mater of time before local admin passwords are brute forced and access to keychain/browser saved logins is inevitable?

> If I steal your secure token

It's more like you just logged in using your secure token then someone stole the device and took advantage of that. I think we can all agree there's a difference between having access to the laptop and access to the account without the laptop.
Do you have a source for motion capture?
Pretty much all newer machines do, and most insurance will happily give you one - at least Blue Cross will, as the cost difference over a plain CPAP is very nominal.

>"Our failure to have a serious discussion about defining “cancel culture” encourages this. When some people vaguely complain about “cancel culture” in a way that lends itself to promoting this constant partisanship, other people not unreasonably see it as partisan."

Popehat seems to be falling into the trap of thinking the precisely defining something will lead to clarity. It rarely, if ever, does. Each one of us has our own conception of a term - wordfeel, if you will - and virtually no one actually knows or holds to the literal dictionary definition. We hear words and apply them if they seem right to us. Even if you managed to precisely define cancel culture, people would easily try to claim that some alleged cancelling event it is actually something else, "accountability", "showing you the door", etc.. Never underestimate someone's ability to lawyerly redefine what something is or isn't.

Additionally, I think Popehat is dead wrong here:

>"Saying we should “end cancel culture” means we’re saying some people should refrain from some exercises of speech and association to promote other people feeling more free to speak."

No rights are actually being infringed by this. It is possible to have cultural mores that are in the spirit of free speech. The opposite stance, not calling on people to end cancel culture, is also accepting a reduction in speech. Even so, by Popehat's own worldview, because the government is not restricting cancel culture this shouldn't be seen as some infringement of liberty. I don't know what Popehat actually wants here.
I think you're right, but you don't go far enough. I think you're missing a mechanism. The browser doesn't notify you. With the browser, you got to reddit (or whoever) when you think of them, and not before. But with the app they can pop up a notification, and have a chance of you looking at reddit before you would have thought of it on your own.
This is like saying that null references are a non-issue because it have been there since the 1970s and that "true" $LANGUAGE developers never collide head-first into invalid dereferences. If something is ridiculous and un-ergonomic, it stays ridiculous and un-ergonomic no matter what. Reference comparison by default is ridiculous and un-ergonomic.
And we've known for centuries that eating a lotta food makes you fat. There's an entire clinical wing of physical and mental health illnesses dedicated to highlighting the ramifications of being overweight. Alcoholism was similar, but at least justified centuries back in the times where it was still safer to consume than most forms of water.

Maybe some breaking study brings something up, but it's still a long debate after that to determine how and if society should control those activities. Even with alcohol, it's not illegal for a minor to drink, it's illegal for vendors to sell to them.

Things win by out-competing other things.

Competition works, and is important, because you would rather make $1 for yourself even if it reduces someone else's profit by $10. Which is how the market gets $9 more efficient.

Sometimes the status quo sucks. This is often caused by a lack of competition or some kind of information problem. In media it's a little of both, but the main one is that people don't understand how they're being manipulated because the people they rely on to help them understand things are the ones manipulating them.

Social media algorithms aren't designed to make you happy or informed. They're designed to make you spend all day on social media.

It's not that hard to design algorithms to do the opposite. That's not the problem. The problem is people aren't informed of the choice, or don't have a choice because the network effect locks them in and the network doesn't let them choose the algorithm.

So we need to solve two problems. First, divorce the network from the algorithm, so people can choose. Second, people need to be informed, so they choose the one that works for them instead of against them.

The person who figures out how to do this gets the $1 at the expense of costing Facebook $10. But they're currently getting nothing, and 10% of what the incumbents get is still a lot. So who wants to make money?
As someone who does not have a lot of sex, and is probably quite repressed:

I think that sex should be considered a bit like any other form of human conversation; it just so happens that it tends to involve different body parts.

Yes, consent is important, and violence isn't acceptable. But also you shouldn't put up with boring conversations if there is another community that you find more stimulating.

Equally, some spoken or written conversations can become irritable, aggressive or unwelcome. Perhaps we should place some focus on consent and good behaviour in those environments too before shutting down attempts to have better sexual conversations.
rendered hair gets better all the time, but it's still not there.

I'm somewhat hopeful the growing ubiquity of especially Jupyter notebooks leads to better, more universal tools for literate programming. Notebooks have always been a form of literate programming. Jupyter and its underlying formats are now ubiquitous enough with a lot of strong IDE support (across a variety of IDEs) that I'm hopeful a better convergence as a "general literate programming platform" from the notebook side may just be a matter of time. (Other than that a lot of strong LP proponents so far seem to mostly be oblivious to the happenings in Notebook spaces and vice versa, despite there being so much cross-over.)

I'd consider myself fortunate if I never have to deal with Firebase again.

Firebase simply did not behave as documented. Whole features shipped that were just wishful thinking.

It reeked of high-level management applying pressure to ship-now-no-matter-how-broken.
This blew my mind as well
I would say it is extremely common if: The company sells something where development needs a _lot_ of domain knowledge AND the employee is a subject matter expert in said niche domain knowledge.

In this situation a lot of the top people will just keep doing stints anywhere between 2 and 7 years bouncing between major competitors in the field.

Pharma, Automotive, Semiconductor fabrication, are good examples of this.

Arguably in some countries where the law allows it non-compete terms may limit this.
I don’t think any amount of coin ‘forgery’ the UK could possible achieve would be worth the effort, let alone the reputational cost when discovered.
I don't understand all these crazy assumptions being made. A support engineer being able to set a password on any account is unthinkable, there is zero chance this is actually the case. Especially for a security company. It would be the equivalent of giving the doorman a key that opens everyone's apartment. Obviously support can trigger a reset, that you have to complete from your own e-mail account.

>The trend of half-baked hacktivism involving everyday internet users is now growing into sites and games that encourage users to become part of DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks against some Russian digital assets. For the same reasons mentioned above, randomly sending attacks without thinking through the consequences and potential collateral damage are feel-good actions that amount to shooting in the dark. Also unknown are the consequences for users that were part of this campaign. Are users aware that they could have their IPs logged by a potentially aggressive and vindictive target? It’s an incredibly irresponsible action that gives tools to ordinary users without the due diligence it deserves, putting innocent lives at risk on all sides.

I agree. I can imagine a day where the public passes along links for fire to DDOS hackernews until silicon Valley puts more regulations against fake news, or children on social media, or some other issue. Vigilantism is always a bad idea, people get carried away and before you know it anyone can be a target because of a tenuous link to something considered bad. If the story about the tool overwriting files on Russian computers is true, then that just leads to another huge set of problems that can occur.
The world isn't a stock market simulation.
one reason would be the UK dumping forged money perhaps through 3rd parties? (i.e. like the Switzerland sold compromised crypto machines)
I guess my conclusion from reading different literal translations is that most of them do not deviate significantly from each other. Personally, I haven't really found any significant differences that would change a person's understanding on who Jesus was and what He taught, contrary to the point "New Age Bible Versions" is trying to make. Comparing single words or phrases between translations is not an effective way to demonstrate that the meaning as a whole has changed. Reading the NKJV, I feel the same need to honor Jesus Christ both as Lord and Savior and obey His teachings. In the end, we need to hear what we read and obey it. https://biblehub.com/matthew/5-19.htm
> as a matter of publicly stated company policy

If I'm looking for a new job in a specific pay range, the only way I can know whether a pre-IPO company's equity is liquid or not is if they explicitly say so, or if there's confirmation online (though obviously that's less reliable). If it's such a well-kept secret that there's not a single person talking about it on Blind, despite the many threads & posts about Canva (including by current employees) and their equity offerings, then it certainly isn't going to make my list.
If the goal is 'get it into the hands of students to further computer science education', then the lottery might end up getting more into student hands than an auction.

Ironic that actions meant to pre-emptively prevent further expansion of NATO will likely result not only in further expansion of NATO but of strengthening of militaries in countries already part of NATO.

Of all of the reasons put forth by various sources over why this is happening, the simplest is often the correct one (not always, but often), which is that Putin just wanted Ukraine back in his (i.e. Russia's) embrace. And nobody says no to Putin.
I feel like problem 1 is on the cusp of solutions given the amount of money poured into tooling for "notebooks" like Jupyter. Notebooks are a form of literate programming. Projects written in Jupyter Notebooks are getting larger and scaling harder. I think a convergence should eventually happen that larger scale literate programming tasks can benefit immensely from the tooling investments in notebooks like Jupyter.
It would help to know this person's background a bit more. Is this a former software engineer, or a manager trying to pick up a technical skill?

That info could help contextualize the entire piece.
I've seen it once in my entire career. It worked out well for everyone involved, but it seems really rare to me.
This doesn't answer my question. How can we change the laws to improve the situation? From a national security perspective, hoping individuals do the right thing despite great personal risk won't work well.
Thats more along the lines of what I was thinking - we can observe this specific interaction but without also observing other interactions it seems very difficult to define exactly what it is. Or maybe it is just that our current frame of reference (both physically and in terms of time) is just a bad vantage point to do so.
This doesn’t always work out, and can destroy the speculator too. Imagine how many piles of hand sanitizer and toilet paper are out there, bought to resell for profit.
