Unfortunately, the term "zero trust" has been used by some to promote their insider threat tool/service. I've seen a lot of sales pitches from vendors that include slides about how their tool prevents the next Snowden.

If you go back to the original sources of the zero trust concept stress that it should only apply to machines. Processes really don't have the concept of "trust" that people do (gain/lose trust, trusted to a degree, etc.). So we should build systems with that in mind.

12 minutes in... what a journey
The IFF system of the Stinger weapon system is surprisingly robust, and non-trivial to circumvent. It essentially prevents you from locking on to any vehicle equipped with an IFF transmitter (meaning if you point a western-made Stinger at a western commercial aircraft, it won't let you fire at it). As such, I doubt there will be any significant impact from "unsecured" Stinger systems floating around, though that does not negate similar consequences from non-IFF-equipped weapon systems.
Even on older systems that approach could scale quite a ways. Things like Perl with an expensive startup needed to do fancy preloading and preforking, and it was easy to mentally account that to the process of starting a process per CGI, but the vast majority of difficulty scaling that approach came from the incredibly heavyweight process of starting one of those processes. (Perl was convenient for CGI back in the day, but in a lot of ways was a bad choice in almost every other way. And I'm not talking about syntax at all here, I'm talking about all the characteristics of its startup and execution model. Python has almost identical problems, for instance.)

If you've got a tiny little C program that doesn't do much DLL loading and runtime linking, and is likely already in cache to be memmapped directly into a process, and is shoveling out content with little-to-no computation you'll have a website that'll take an HN'ing without even noticing even on old hardware.

"A tiny little C program" worries me on other fronts, but there's a reasonable selection of things that are safe enough to put on the internet and still compile to single fast binaries that you could use in 2022. Alas, the options were not so nice in 2005.
> meaning it needs to be stored on the official CD

Wouldn't this imply per-seat IP licenses for things like embedded H.264 software fallback decoding in GPU drivers? I.e. the reason that Ubuntu (that doesn't really care about "proprietary" software by itself) still doesn't ship media codecs on the CD, nor driver blobs that could include them?
I am too lazy to write anything cohesive. Here is starting point on things that will make the tank more survivable and persist it as a heavy weapon platform.

1. Hard-kill APS - active protection systems - mm AESA (fast, high resolution) miniature radar detecting threats and sending munitions to intercept them. See Arena, Trophy. Eventually, laser counter-drone systems for small swarms (see Israeli developments)

2. Soft-kill APS - smarter/highly-automated smoke deployment, IR smoke, radar chaff. Directed radar / IR blinders. (See T-90 systems failing in Ukraine atm)

3. Passive - lower signatures.

4. Target detection and automatic turret queuing - tanks have a lot of space, they can have sophisticated optics and computers that find targets (including OTH data from tethered drones) or find launches against them and can fire on that launch. This is less effective against fire and forget systems ala Javelin or systems like Stunga where the launch platform is away from the guidance system.

5. Trench sweepers and coupled 30mm cannons - tanks can airburst and clear trenches / buildings better.

6. Operating in fully jammed environments. This has NOT happened in Ukraine at all. Wide-area signal suppression seems like a myth in the current war.

Anyway, this is just basic stuff to look into. The tanks remains a "go fast, penetrate stuff, maneuver" platform.

One thing most people also forget is the cost of the firepower that comes with the platform. Smart/loitering munitions are still expensive, and still have a high time-to-target than direct fire or dumb mortars.

Can't wait for my search results to be filled by high SEO ranking pages with no actual solutions to my questions! Oh, wait... That's how it already is.

Jokes aside, more often than not I catch myself adding "reddit" "hackernews" "stackoverflow" to my queries because the results would be otherwise filled with marketing, SEO-engineered websites that only want to sell you some crappy software or get you to download some malware-infested files. But hey, they make Google happy, so they must be good.
In Dutch too. Many mistakes are made when translating English sources.
As of today, hundreds are out of question, yes.

But there may be cheaper and better models one day. This war has shown that ATGMs, MANPADs and their ilk have a huge potential, which means that a lot of countries and companies are going to pour resources into R&D. This usually means an overall improvement in capabilities and possibly a reduced price tag.

As an analogy: once it would be considered too expensive and impractical to equip infantry with night vision en masse. Russia still cannot do that, but for rich Western countries, it is an absolutely realistic option.
If a public service cannot be used without sending requests to a private third party, they are clearly doing it wrong.
There was not a lot of air-to-air combat between near-peer air forces going on in the last decades, was there? What little air combat we had was between top notch fighters and crew, supported by AWACS and all the fancy stuff that comes with it, against badly trained and coordinated almost obsolete fighters. Anti-air systems were the main concern.
It is not a fundamental human need to live in a super cute townhome in a hot walkable neighborhood near lots of other people you’d like to socialize with. If you want free housing, it’s out there, just not where you want it.

"The company is permanently embracing a hybrid style that lets teams and individuals decide when to work at home and when to be in the office."

"But Target won't set a minimum requirement for office time. Kremer said that's based on employee feedback and the desire to attract and retain talent."

This is how you get the most from your teams. How is it a huge employer like this (in the midwest!) can embrace this and so many "high tech", "agile" companies can not? You hired these people, why don't you trust them to get their jobs done if you can't see them?
The tech bubble that never burst
Moonback – Book on the Bright Side
I don't understand the negative tone of the comments below. From the article, the story of Fred delivering packages for area tech companies with the Yale flying club is a fascinating startup story. He served two tours in Vietnam with the Marine Corps. He skirted government air cargo regs by flying planes under the size threshold. His board is diverse for Fortune 100 standards. The lead image portrait is his old board picture, stylized, with some planes in the background. He's right that stimulus checks directly caused labor shortages and he increased wages dramatically to make up for it. (yes he should pay all his employees more.. you probably could too.) He's an old guy with old school vocal opinions who has accomplished pretty amazing things. Everyone has their "ugh my package got stomped" anecdote but the physical level of service that Fedex (and UPS and DHL) provides worldwide is a staggering feat.

Another interesting note on Fred Smith, among many on Wikipedia, he inherited $4M dollars and put it all into starting Fedex, creating the $50B company we know today.
How could it have turned the microwave on? Need more details on the technical implementation. Nice writing though.
Except Donny's Discount Gas!
Seems like you're not talking about over paying, but rather out-bidding someone. It seems like maybe a first offer should establish a baseline price, and everything subsequent should be transparent, or perhaps have a blind expiry on it, so you'd know if your offer was declined before an offer has been accepted
I don't know if it's much of a benefit, but as an outsider, I assume Yandex will essentially pick up the entirety of the Russian market for search, maps, and other tools if US services are blocked or frowned upon?
Wow, you doubled down. I agree with Tomte. Linking to a 3-day-old submission with 0 comments is worse than useless, it's just spam, and wastes peoples' time if they click on them, having assumed nobody would post a link to an empty page. Yes, it looks like you do that all the time, more like 50% than 5%. "blatant unsavory behavior"?! That describes your comment and your linking to empty pages, but nothing else I can see here. Please stop bothering with your crusade, it detracts from rather than adds to HN.
The majority of recorded Russian tank losses have been the T-72 B3M Obr. 2016 which is a very new tank, with production starting in 2016 or so...
Ask HN: Would you reduce the weekly burden of DoD applications
I applied to a DoD job and spend about 5-10 hours per week talking with a huge number of recruiters, often at inopportune times, signing up on web sites, etc.

I'm also doing non DoD jobs. Is there any way for me to limit the weekly burden on my time from the DoD part of the application process? I like the idea of a DoD job but find the burden on my life from the interview process a bit taxing, it is a very large burden.

This regards work such as registering on web sites and talking with recruiters.
I'd argue this applies to all information, not just numbers. It is easier to point out incorrect numerical values than an esoteric and hard to communicate set of facts or circumstances. When it comes to modern journalism I see many problems:

1. Traditionally, editors write the headlines and sub heads. The editor knows even less about the subject than the writer so what are the chances they will get it right especially when their goal is not accuracy but attracting readers.

2. Twitter, the water cooler for all journalists, has put on public display and has quantified journalist relevance, popularity, and influence. Blogs did this to a certain extent but Twitter really put the gas to the pedal. Some news orgs force their journalists to use social media. This means that there are very real personal and career incentives to make the story fit the in-group narrative or be lambasted for it. This means that finding an angle on a story that highlights a specific narrative is the goal. To be clear the narrative is usually some worse case scenario that scares people and gets them to click. It doesn't have to be some sort of script handed down by a conspiracy.

3. Most people only read headlines and maybe the first few graffs. Often clarifying or information countering the headline is mentioned at the end of a piece. I often will read the end of an article first before subjecting myself to the manipulation found at the beginning of articles.

4. When success is about having clicks and shares there is a _strong_ incentive to publish stories before anyone else which is antithetical to carefully ensuring accuracy, integrity, and reason.

All in all, journalism is simply organized hearsay and I never automatically believe anything I am being told. That is not say it is useless, but it is important to understand its nature before consuming it.
I'm part of the Taiga team and I agree with you. Our workaround is using n8n or zapier to automate that but we don't have it built-in. Now, at the same time, targetting Jira users has proven to be extremely difficult. It's not only the vedor lock-in, it's also the mindset. Even if we had complex dependency connections and visualizations we know Jira teams (and decision makers) would play the moving post here. It's frustrating but Jira users (or at least the ones in command) are able to withstand much more pain than we anticipated.
Ah I think there was miscommunication due to mental biases. Like I misunderstood your objection, you probably misunderstood the docs. I don't think the author is pretending anything. The docs says that it depends on procfs to highlight it as the main dependency or maybe the odd one.

In Rust community, it's a common knowledge that 1. If it's a high level tool, it will have multiple dependencies, and 2. The actual dependency list will be auto generated by the package managers (cargo or os) and be pinned in every release, available publicly.
The anti-paywall vs. Medium (limited articles) helps.

The business model is also distinct in which domain experts are incentivized to create quality content due to their income directly tied to specialized niche subscribers.
It's the business of the government because for most people otherwise it's a race to the bottom. If you are in a position where you could negotiate a 32h work week for most of your life you're in a privileged position. From your bio you hold 55 patents and have written 20 books, do you think that's the position most workers are in? Most people in the US have practically no vacation compared to the rest of the developed world because there's no mandatory baseline.
Depends on your definition of high. They seem to be comparing normal higher sodium diet to a low sodium diet. So high seems to be relative.

At a certain level sodium does become excessive and can lead to high blood pressure and kidney issues (I believe the liver issues are blood pressure related). This is basically due to the kidneys not being able to process the extra minerals. As long as you stay within the kidneys limits of function, then you're fine.
Those 19th century Robber Barons were, some exceptions aside, notably less charitable than most sepia-toned histories makes them out to be. Their 19th century abuses of workers also make almost anything happening in the modern first world look like coddling by comparison.

And back then, mainstream Christian churches were a far more important social institution. Acting as the "generous Christian" was probably far more important to one's standing in "well-born" society.
Masks restrict the amount of goo that is dispersed with a sneeze or cough. They reduce the chance of randomly touching mouth/nose. They signal to others that you’re aware of the current risk profile, letting them despise how to interact with you, etc.

My point is the arbitrary political nature of covid. Vaccines are good except this set. Masks are good except with covid. Reduced contact wrt airborne diseases is good except for covid. The disease, fortunately, was not dangerous enough so people didn’t have to give a shit about others. Pity about grandma, though. But she lived a good life.
>Similarly to biological evolution, on any sufficiently long time scale the descendents aren't more advanced, simply better adapted to different conditions. Our ancestors' societies reflected wildly different contraints and path dependence, not primitiveness.

I understand what you mean, yet I refuse to call concepts like universal human rights, rule of law and the unacceptability of war crimes as simply different adaptations, as opposed to being strictly more advanced than the predecessor ideas.
Which interpretation is idiotic? Being able to take in complex signals from the environment and form an instructive opinion is the foundation of human ingenuity. Given that the bananas obviously aren't on sale for $0.0019, it seems idiotic to me ignore alternative explanations for the sign.

A better tool would slipstream the data into the ISO image, I would think, since you might want/need the drivers available at install time in order to even boot certain non-free hardware, and you might only be getting the thing to boot in the first place using e.g. a PXE server.
Substack feels like Medium except instead of blogspam from overexcited junior React developers, you get blogspam from wannabe pseudo-philosophers.

At it's core, capitalism is about maximally exploiting labor.

Some companies treat their employees better (Costco) or worse (Walmart), but at the end of the day it's all a byproduct of the structure and behaviors rewarded in capitalism.

The "winners" exploit the hardest, otherwise potential profits are being left on the table and it opens an opportunity for another company (who is willing to go the extra mile to exploit harder) to enter and offer lower prices. Subsequently, the working middle class and poor people (the largest segments of USA population) have their own harsh realities to deal with, and don't have the luxury of choosing more humane yet expensive alternatives when they are purchasing goods and services.
> This isn't even remotely true. Kanban establishes specific measures, including throughput, that, combined with statistical modeling, specifically allow for forecasting to be done.

That's interesting to me as I hadn't heard that about Kanban before. Do you have a particular reference in mind that you think describes this well?
It’s just that windows is quite a bit more complex and vulnerable compared to much simpler and security focused OSs like a BSD back then or maybe Alpine Linux these days.
Interesting, and not just in the "memory safe languages will save the world" sense.

Most of my bugs are either in the category 'logic' or 'ux'. For the former, unit tests remain the best defense IMHO, but there's always that insidious class of data-driven logic bugs.

UX tends to be the most frustrating bug class. Like: there is a separate view in my app to allow users to do X. Yet, users insist on doing X by abusing feature Y, which gives a partial-but-sometimes-wildly-wrong result.

My solution to that is to obsessively monitor user action logs, and to modify the abused view to still give the right results (through an annotation) in case it detects the 'wrong' use case.

That's what I call over simplification.
So your company is deliberately trying to frustrate the market, and doesn't like the result of third parties attempting to help market efficiency?

No. First, we as a middleman resseller MUST provide custom prices, at least to a certain degree. Consider that it's typical for manufacturers to offer different prices to, e.g., schools. This is reflected by offering to us (the middleman) a lower cost, which we pass on to applicable customers. Further, the costs and prices vary similarly from one country to another. Less obviously, many manufacturers (e.g., Microsoft, Adobe, HP) offer licensing programs that entitle those enrolled to purchase their products at a lower cost. So if nothing else, the business terms of the manufacturers whose products we sell necessitates a certain degree of custom pricing.

Second, it seems strange to characterize as "frustrating the market" what we're doing when we cooperate with customers who want to structure their expenses in different ways - say, getting a better deal on expensive products that can be classified as "capital expenses" while allowing us to recover some of that revenue by charging them somewhat more for the products that they'd classify as operational expenses.

Ask HN: Are there 5G “Feature Phones?”
There have been several stories posted to HN this week on the theme of apps and mobile operating systems spying on people, phoning home with data about the user. As we move into the 5G future are companies still making non-smart phones/devices that simply don't have the attack surface for surveillance capitalism to exploit?
Armies will start deploying jamming effectively, cutting off the ability to control the drones. For some reason, the Russian army (which had a reputation for excellence in ECM/ECCM) has been completely ineffective in this area during it's invasion of Ukraine.
That is a big family of chemical compounds, so it is not easy to give an easy answer.

I think that you are referring to a specific subset, fluoropolymers, also called "forever chemicals", like PTFE/Teflon/Goretex. They do not release in the air the most studied PFAS (like PFOA) under controlled condition, but more studies are needed to see if the same happens in commercially run incinerators.

What is the alternative? Landfill. PFAS are more concentrated in landfills, which accept non-incinerated ashes/waste.

What seems to be a valid general guideline for incineration? The higher the temperature, the better.

I found a nice report if you are interested: "Disposal of products and materials containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): A cyclical problem"
American Law is almost universally the opposite - HOWEVER it doesn't completely unlimit it - you'll see signs at grocery stores that say something like "in the event of a price error, the store must give you the item at the listed price refund the difference"

For example, Wisconsin:

98.08 Price refunds; price information. (1) A person who uses an electronic scanner to record the price of a commodity or thing and who sells the commodity or thing at a price higher than the posted or advertised price of that commodity or thing at least shall refund to a person who purchases the commodity or thing the difference between the posted or advertised price of the commodity or thing and the price charged at the time of sale.(2) A person who sells a commodity or thing and who uses an electronic scanner to record the price of that commodity or thing shall display, in a conspicuous manner, a sign stating the requirements of sub. (1).

Not in English, but most European languages use essentially the same words to describe numbers like 1 million and higher, except that some use the million/miliard convention and some the million/billion convention.

For example, in French, 1 million dollars is "1 milion de dolars", but 1 billion dollars is "1 miliard de dolars". Then, 1 trilion dollars is "1 billion de dollars", and a quadrillion dollars is "1 billiard de dollars".
It's pro free speech, which is the opposite of almost every other platform in 2022.
I was at lockheed martin for a few years where Rational DOORS was used. Now at a smaller startup (quite happy to never touch DOORS again)

I think the common answer is you don't use a requirements management tool, unless it's a massive system, with System Engineers who's whole job is to manage requirements.

Some combination of tech specs and tests are the closest you'll get. Going back to review the original tech spec (design doc, etc) of a feature is a good way to understand some of the requirements, but depending on the culture it may be out of date.

Good tests are a bit closer to living requirements. They can serve to document the expected behavior, and check the system for that behavior
