> Consumer staples -> consumer poisons.

When you're sampling the top-10 you get a biased set - "sin" stocks usually face increased consolidation pressure (certainly true for PM, MO, KO). If you expand your view to a full breakdown, a consumer staples ETF broadly represents "stuff people buy at supermarkets".

ETFs based on indices do not have opinions or intelligent design, they attempt to accurately represent a well-defined sector or thesis. A lot of people buy a lot of unhealthy stuff, so that shows up here.

If this is important to you, could I suggest screened indices (https://www.ishares.com/us/products/investment-goals#/funds?...) or a social impact fund (https://www.ishares.com/us/products/286007/)?
Elon Musk has already broken his agreement with Twitter
One side has a huge footprint to secure (software-system), because it's every way software could ever need to interact with a local system.

The other can expose a much smaller one (container-system), because it only needs to include things one would have gone off-local-machine for (i.e. networking).

So from a security boundary, containers are basically a machine-internal firewall between programs and the host.
Thanks. My knowledge of accreditation is mostly from law schools, for which national v. regional is a huge deal.

When corporate offices gripe about employees bringing in home items the reason it isn't received well isn't because the rule is ridiculously illogical.

The problem is that those companies are notoriously cheap. They won't buy coffee makers or poorly maintain them and their managers are trained to act like callous idiots when questioned about it. Really, in general, most employee disatisfaction comes from managers and executives acting like callous idiots instead of actually trying to solve problems.

Completion: "Yeah, why should I pay for something when there's already a free alternative? Go and try and make one, you bloody idjit." Which pretty much sums up the attitude of most of the open source community.

So I decided to make one. I used Linux, as it was already installed on the server I'd got the data from, and it seems to work perfectly. So I gave the server owner a copy. A bit of an epic email was involved - I got the server owner's email from a contact of mine who works at the server owner's workplace. The server owner must have gotten all excited when I told him I'd hacked his site, and sent me his root credentials. The email said the server owner could access any data he wanted, but I didn't have time to read it so I didn't check. I didn't think it was something to worry about.

I went back to Australia, went to bed, and woke up to the news that my site was being distributed on Google. I had a look, and what do you know, it had been released! A guy in Germany had used my site, without my permission, to upload about 1,200,000 files. It took Google weeks to deal with it. You can see a screenshot I took of the page showing the content. The filenames are listed by the order in which the files were uploaded. When I went to find one of the files on the site, I was shown all the files he had uploaded - all of them. I thought I'd deleted all of them from the server, so I had to work out which one to download.

I'm not sure how he found my email address, but it seems he used the "Whois" on my website to find the email address associated with the domain. He was sending me messages on IRC about the files being released. As I said, I didn't have time to respond to his messages

There was a gooseneck who was in a tree.
When he was in his gooseneck, he didn't feel so bad,
But when he was in his anorak, he felt a lot better.

Some n=1 anecdata:

My circa-2002 Mr. Coffee brand drip coffee marker has an automatic cut-off. I have never bothered measuring it precisely, but I think it cuts off at around an hour and a half or two hours after being turned on. Believe me, there have been many times I put on a pot of coffee, got "in the zone" working on some code, got up a while later, walked in the kitchen, and found the pot of coffee stone cold. Much to my dismay. Although as a former firefighter, I do understand the intent behind this, and I can't really be mad about it.
Oh, I agree. I'm just noting that access controls are useless in a culture that ignores them. I think that goes for the original topic of SELinux.

You couldn't be more right about that. Last week a nurse had to use a computer in my wife's hospital room to log that she'd given her a painkiller. The IT staff had failed to configure the hospital computers to disable windows updates or restrict them to off-hours and the nurse was forced to stand there for ten solid minutes while Update churned, the pc restarted, and Update churned some more.

Cookies as a mechanism are useful and required for a solid modern web experience. However, tracking cookies are arguably the opposite of that. A typical modern website with marketing comes with, I don't know, 100s of cookies. Are you really arguing that the user should be required to vet each individual cookie whenever following a link with unvetted cookies?

Or how do you solve this problem? Personally, the most I can be arsed to do is install some Adblock Plugin. I did that only a few months ago and I'm not even sure that it improved my experience by a lot.
That is not what I am referring to. I should have been clear. I was primarily talking about Desmond Napoles, but there are other cases that ABC has been involved with as well. This sort of thing has been going on for years.
Why do software developers always shoot themselves in the foot with regard to their economic value?

Governments pay all the time for development of technology that they buy, but that doesn't mean that the IP is released. For example, the government paid Boeing to develop transport aircraft. However, that does not mean that all the drawings/plans/etc for the aircraft are made public.

The government is buying a set of functionality with public money. As long as they are getting that functionality, it doesn't matter that the code is proprietary.
I think you're mistaken. DevOps is a very specific team allowed to touch the Jenkins box, and is the old branding for what is now SRE which are both just rebranded names for Systems Administration, but with Cloud certifications instead of Cisco and Dell.

I kid. But this is just as much the meme I've encountered as Agile. Some successful company releases a book about something they do that's fundamentally different, and almost instantly enterprises across the globe have a department for that thing with that name. Progress.

For many people that get the child tax credit, a bonus is exactly what it is.

> And then the container's OS gets breached

This can't happen. There is no "OS" actually running. It's a bunch of binaries and files sitting in a tar archive that the process running can access and link against. What are you going to breach? All the networking, firewalls, kernel, remote access like SSH, and privilege management is the hosts. The only process running in the container is the application.

What you mean is "what if the application running in the container is compromised?" For example what if there's a RCE vuln in the version of libcurl that the app links against? Absolutely! Now you've got a huge problem but this is exactly the same as if there was an RCE in leftPad. In container world that's now the developer's problem instead of yours. Everything in the container is vendored, just pretend it was all statically linked. It's not like an VM where ops patches it.

> It's the equivalent of a VM, just (hopefully) stripped down to the bare essentials

No, no 1000 times no. It's in all ways the equivalent of a process (or tree of processes) running on the host machine. From a security perspective a container is no different than any other binary running on the host. You have it exactly right, there is exactly zero magic and no inherent security.

You should lose exactly as much sleep over outdated container images as you lose over outdated rubygems in your developers' Bundle.lock. Whether that means a lot or a little depends on the company and how security critical the application is.
Until I read this article that's what I thought C Bitfields _were_. I didn't realize the specification was so uselessly sloppy about alignment packing that a programmer couldn't reliably address specific bit field members with just a lowest bit first to highest bit field of exact widths. It's quite annoying that such is not what those are.
>How do we fix this?

You start by taking every person who says "not worth it, man, just use GMail" and beating them with a rubber hose until they install and run a mail service for their vanity domains.

More seriously, it's possible we've let this problem fester for so long that it's going to take serious effort to fix. By which I mean governmental intervention. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo cannot be allowed to dictate who gets to send and receive email, as they effectively do now through their massive marketshare dominance.

Spam is a problem, but it's not an intractable one. In the 90s, sure, the technical problem was pretty hard. By the 00s, everybody just let Google handle it because Google wasn't going to Be Evil, and Google managed to solve it with a giant technical hammer.

Technical people also tend to dismiss solutions because they don't fix every problem. The old Spam Solutions Checklist exemplifies this attitude. But what we have now is worse, i.e. just letting the world's most invasive corporation control all of it.

> Your claim is "it is not possible to self-host your own mail on a low-volume server and not get consistently marked as spam by GMail / other large operators". The existence of a single person successfully doing exactly that (and there are numerous such people in this very thread) is sufficient to disprove your claim.

Perhaps that was their claim - but I've generally read advice as: "There's no predictable way to guarantee that any given person can today take over hosting their own mail with predictable and good delivery to Gmail and o365."

So just that a, b and c have, so far, good delivery from their setup is not a guarantee that person x can just "set things up correctly" and somewhat straightforwardly get good delivery.

Last I did it, I had to go via undocumented api/pages for both o365 and Gmail in order to improve delivery - and mail that gmail/o365 smtp servers swore they accepted without problems - still sometimes ended up as spam, or simply vanished after delivery.

This was all individual low-volume. Never found any reason for it.

That said, I'll probably go back to hosting my own mail, and just live with certain parties being bad net citizens, eating the occasional mail without error or bounce. It's not like I really expect them to do better. Although especially in the case of Gmail, it's a little like Disney eating up public domain stories and spitting out copyrighted and trademarked content. Google did a lot to force people away from proper quoting (by hiding the fact of how Gmail quoted things in the "friendly" ui) and they pretty much killed Google groups - after marginalizing alternatives. But those ships have sailed.
Nurses have an extremely hard job. Before my wife died, she spent days to weeks at at time in hospitals over and over again. She went out of her way to show them kindness despite her suffering, and they always thanked her for it. Most patients treat them like slaves and are even abusive toward them- at the very least, thankless. COVID only made this worse. It's no wonder they are leaving in droves.

I've often wondered if we need to radically change the State's relationship with the software it produces. As Robert Lessig famously observed, "code is law" in a world controlled by computers. There is increasingly a strong argument I feel in States directly employing software engineers much like they typically employ armies of civil servants to implement policy.

Why is software treated as something to be outsourced to a private sector company? Why can't we have "civil programmers" who contribute to an ever growing body of public code just as the legislative process contributes to an ever growing body of laws. This body of civil programmers (terrible name but hey) could also work hand in hand with the open source community, letting stakeholders (citizens) contribute too.
Right, and I am all for that to remain.

This reads way broader, as you describe it "develop it on your own", but can sell it only once to public sector.
