I disagree with the premise that "people who can't have a discussion about gun rights" == "people who own guns".

In fact, gun owners (like the general population) are heavily in favor of increasing gun control, especially things like closing loopholes in background check laws[1].

The people who won't entertain a discussion about increasing gun control are a minority of extremists who just happen to be a large enough voting bloc to dictate the GOP's position on guns.

Microsoft has always been a criminal culture*. Many have tried to fix that. All have failed.

* Microsoft has probably been sued every year of its existence, for some nastiness or other. The list of their criminal actions is long and varied. (Search for yourself, it's all out there on the web.) But they have friends in high places.
RBAC. Google Zanzibar comes to mind.
Do you think cigarettes and alcohol should be legal for sale to children? What about advertising specifically targeted at getting kids interested and hooked on cigarettes? What about child labor? Why not let just parents decide what's right for their kids?

There's some behaviors of corporations interacting with children that are correctly regulated in the interest of the broader society we live in. It is completely valid to argue that social media specifically isn't harmful enough to regulate, but your comment amounts to snark that implies nothing should be regulated which is a pretty extreme Anarcho-capitalist position to blanket take.
In recent days, I've seen many of these topics discussed by quite well respected First Amendment lawyers on Twitter. The current that ubiquitously runs through their tweets is that their understanding of the 1A informs their advocating for courts to find that the First Amendment prohibits basically any regulation on social media sites including transparency of moderation policies or decisions, identification, regulations concerning hours, any sort of regulation on viral amplification -- this is all protected speech

And their preferred alternative is always, "parents should parent"

I believe I am a huge supporter of free speech and the First Amendment (two different things), but I find this quite frustrating and believe their approach is both unrealistic and turns the First Amendment into a "suicide pact" (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/The_Constitution_is_not_a_suicid...)
It works great on Kano which runs on Raspberry Pi.

I have not tried installing it on Debian so I don't know how well it works in non-Kano environments.
Calling them/us "users" now has a new meaning.
The efficiency of initiating the call limits how many calls the program can initiate per second, per thread. The potential latency of the response is irrelevant.

I guess I'm the IT manager and product/cloud SRE at my work (we're a very small shop).

Yeah, sued seems hyperbolic. From my perspective if a staff person was capable of cloning their HDD and putting in an SSD by their self, I'd be quite happy for them to go ahead.

But, we have an MSP that should and _will_ do this for you so I'd rather it was organised on your behalf and we took the necessary backups in case you borked it. Plus we could take ownership of destroying the original HDD would also be quite important.

IT Dir, can you explain why you'd react the way you would? Perhaps I'm missing some risk here but ensuring BitLocker (assuming they and you are running Windows) is running and other compliance controls are running like Intune or equivalent. I don't see any many risks here:

1) Data loss during the clone transfer
2) Need to ensure the original HDD is destroyed and certified as such.
Just to add...Air Link works pretty well for those without a link cable. I've played a few Rift games on my Quest 2 and it's been pretty flawless.

Ah. The trim the deadwood argument.

This makes lots of sense. But I never see it play out this way.

Because in a given company, if you ask people to identify “the deadwood” there will be a couple standouts, but otherwise quite a bit of variability. If nothing else because everyone has ego centric biases that over compensate their own contributions (or that of their function/department). And then it’s really just a mosh pit of politics that decides who stays and goes.

Or put more succinctly “one man’s deadwood is another’s diamond in the rough.”

> If anything, there is a lack of jury trials - the majority of cases end in pleas.

People take pleas because the jury system is broken and if convicted you’ll get far more time.

As far as alternative?
Jury’s are fine.
The problem is the Supreme Court’s holding from a century back that a non-unanimous verdict is a mistrial and res judicata (or double jeopardy) is not triggered.

As the other poster pointed out, some jurisdictions allow an aquital with less than 12. But, the problem is this: you are presumed innocent and the State should have one chance to prove you guilty. If the State blows it, it should be over. The US fundamentally changed this.

If the State can’t convince 12 of your peers that you’re guilty, there is obviously a ‘reasonable doubt.’ But that’s all lip-service… doesn’t mean anything any more. You can prosecute a person a dozen times, with 90% of the jurors (collectively) finding not-guilty, and the person could still be convicted if the last set of jurors ruled 12-0 in favor of the state.

It’s a joke.

In Australia at least, all banks/institutions provide those transaction analytics as the registered business number of the company you transact with has a category attached to it by our tax office.

If I look at my recent expenses in my banking app, I can see that I got a coffee (food&beverage), bought fuel (transport) and paid freight cost on a case of wine from my frequent flyer miles rewards program (incorrectly classed as travel).

It's not 100% accurate but gives a good enough overview in the app week by week, and I sit down quarterly to look at things properly in a spreadsheet.
I expect if lo-tek UI’s become a popular way to interface with software, it won’t be long before someone is codgering up a 3D printer to create baroque monstrosities. Like say a colicky knob that acts as a button in both push and pull directions with multiple different clicky depths, and slides.

That reminds me of many Asian web site UI’s: they’re very dense by some Western market standards because many Asian markets’ Internet users apparently want dense information transfer in their user experience, which seems to be eschewed by many current Western site designs.
I was under the assumption that in the US, a lot of people pay with credit instead of debit. If they pay with credit, I would assume this adds to their credit history and score? Is that not true?
Creating regulations like this may end up acting as a regulatory moat for existing social network companies. This probably makes the overall social media pie smaller overall but guarantees incumbents slice of the pie.

We've seen this happen in other highly regulated areas such as healthcare, telecommunications, etc.

I suspect the way things are trending, in 10 years, very few entrepreneurs would be willing to start a new social media company.

Clearly the regulators see this as a potential downside, which is why the $100 million in gross revenue provision was added.
There is a list of benchmarks used; including the Mandelbrot and pidigits benchmarks I cite. They also claim "they gathered the most efficient (i.e. fastest) version of the source code"; and I cited the fastest programs.

This is legitimately painful to discuss, as this information is readily available in the paper, and seemingly we are getting nowhere by picking at how I made my observations; so I am going to do something more enjoyable, somewhere very far away from you.

Trello is great for this kind of situation. It is simple and free to use for small teams. Just start using it yourself and step by step introduce one additional team member to it by adding a link to your Trello page in your weekly report.
My guess is that the cycle efficiency would be a simple Carnot cycle, and since the delta(T) is small the efficiency would be minuscule and you never measure the difference, never mind pay back the glass.

I would love to be able to tell social media platforms that I only want 10 minutes of usage a day and they cut me off.

For kids, I think it's irresponsible to get kids even more addicted earlier on in life.

At this point, I don't think it's simple to blame the individual or parent for personal responsibility. The only way to avoid it is to get it out of your home completely. This is similar to televisions in the home in the 60s till today. Should we also be able to sue television and cable companies for tv addiction?
I was struggling to understand why someone would take a loan against options rather than just sell them on the secondary market like you mentioned and I think the key difference is that you can't sell an unvested option on the secondary market but with this Bolt program you could take a loan against an unvested option which is unique and kind of bizarre. Who would underwrite such a loan and how is the accounting for it done at the company level? Also wouldn't they be taxed as income?
> Functional Options (or config/option initialization) shouldn't really ever happen in a "hot path" where performance really matters, as these are usually one off steps at the time of construction/initialization.

That's not true at all. As just one counterexample, the place where I have spent the most time wrestling with functional options is with OpenTracing, where performance overhead absolutely does matter.
I’m currently using a tplink wireless router running as AP mode (since I have another Linux box as the home gateway), but it would filter out all ipv6 router advertisement packets which entirely breaks ipv6 stateless configuration. Before this, I was using another netgear router that would randomly drop ICMP pings.

The packed “features” in nowadays home routers really annoys me. I wish there’s some cheap “dumb wireless AP” products that does nothing other than switching packets.

Yes- the thing you didn't mention is the distinction I'm making between Dropbox URLs/UUIDs/etc and fds/Fuchsia capabilities, which is that the former are bit patterns and the latter are pieces of state in a trusted kernel.

The attack surface of "bit pattern" capabilities is much larger than that of "trusted state" capabilities- even if you can't practically guess one, all you need to break it is to discover its bit pattern somehow. Trick someone into printing it out, read it out of their memory space, leak it via a side channel, attack their UUID generator, etc. For this kind of capability, sure- periodic revocation might be a worthwhile mitigation technique.

But for "trusted state" capabilities, which is where this thread started, and what file descriptors exemplify, this all goes away. The attack surface is reduced to the kernel and the component's own API (nothing new here) and its use of a finite set of capability delegation APIs. Leaking an fd number does not leak the corresponding capability the way leaking a Dropbox URL does, so there is relatively little purpose in rotating those out.
Ditto.

It's my job to not shit in the pool. And, it's your job to avoid it if I do shit in the pool.

The idea that people can do whatever they want and the consequences are 100%, completely on the heads of other people to deal with is a hilariously juvenile view of personal responsibility.
Funny, because Zapier (and Salesforce, WordPress, HubSpot, ActOn, etc.) have all created more opportunities for me as a freelancer/consultant. It's not that the tools aren't useful, or that the people using them are dumb. They create work for me in the same way I created work for my plumber trying to install new kitchen fixtures myself -- I could get fairly far with it but the remaining problems were the hard ones that a professional wouldn't have created themselves.

Wow, everything about this thread -- from the kitschy, nearly condescending rara tone, to the exclamations about something never having been done before being a reason to it -- as well as his profile pic just screams to me that this is a company with a totally broken ethos buried in some weird SV startup pathology. It's all just so weird.

Pretty much this, we don't have small electric cars because we don't have small cars period. I used to own a 2000 Nissan Frontier, didn't even bother considering a truck for my new car not because I dislike truck ownership conceptually even if I should, but because the smallest new truck you can buy in 2022 is noticeably larger than that one. For a replacement, I was considering a Honda Fit (Jazz in Europe). Too late for me, not for sale new in the US anymore (along with every other subcompact model), and I couldn't find one to my preference used in my area. I ended up getting a Civic Hatch.

If Americans on the whole liked small cars, we'd have small cars. Obviously, we either don't, or there's a very exploitable market gap there for some venture capitalist to exploit. If I had to put money on it though, I'd guess the former.
You're regulating chemical compounds with cigarettes. You are regulating patterns of presenting data with social media.
Yeah, screw kids with bad parents. They should have been smart enough to have been born to better people who didn't have to work so many hours.
I don’t understand why this person is using network controls to deny access to Microsoft services. There’s plenty of reason to allow Windows update to download outside of some corporate VPN (especially for remote users, why use bandwidth over the VPN?) when you control which updates are installed via WSUS.

I by no means mean any ill will to the author, and appreciate the post, but I do feel critical of the approach.

I would have to understand the why more than is apparent in this blogpost to sympathize. Especially when this configuration is for another person as mentioned at the top. Are they aware of all rules being applied? This sounds like a home environment, which to me signals that these rules would have also killed updates for personal devices, potentially leaving them vulnerable. If you truly need control over Windows Update like this, you should be using the controls exposed to you (WSUS, group policy, etc.)

If it’s a choice that the end user has made, acknowledging that domains used by Windows are being blocked by a firewall and this may cause erratic or nonfunctioning behavior for Windows I see no problem.

It is likely my own experiences and opinions, but I personally believe this is using the wrong tool for the job, using a sledgehammer to drive a screw. I’ve had to deal with things like this at my work, with firewall rules being completely invisible to end users, and it just costs money and causes frustration at something that can be completely transparent and easy to access.

You can get a bit of mileage out of Fortnite by landing in less popular areas and building up your inventory as you slowly work towards the eventual late-game circle. Hide in a house or bush if you have to. Crouch a lot and get the jump on others to improve your chances.

I'm 40+ and play Fortnite with my son, and while I worry his gaming exposure is very heavily weighted to one game with minimal story, we have a great time working as a team and talking about strategies to maximise our chances. He's 9yo and a very strong player. I don't find reflexes to be that much of a problem, but I'm not sure how old you mean by "older"!
This plus the fact that Dependabot is not able to update Docker Compose files at this time.

The other problem that I have is there is no easy way (probably for good reason due to potential abuse) to manually trigger Dependabot. So Dependabot might run once a day or not do so for quite a while.

I have found a workaround for this since it appears that Dependabot does reliably trigger when .github/dependabot.yml is updated. One quick hack to insert a commented timestamp later... I now have a way to make sure Dependabot runs when I do want it to.

You could also use the above style in a single shot with NewConsumer if you didn't need to retain the configured struct after creation.

They didn't say bad faith argument about banning, they said argument_s_. So he is not just talking about a single one. Which are the bad faith arguments? I asked if any of the things were not true, nobody said they were untrue. How can any of the arguments (I did not just talk about the proxy, I also talked about the banning) be bad faith if they are true?

There was IBM, Packard Bell, Hewlett-Packard, eMachines, Compaq before the acquisition and here in Europe a number of more local brands (eg Tulip in the Netherlands, Escom and Vobis in a lot of countries) too. Gateway was a fairly big thing here too but Dell not so much in stores as they only ever sold online here. And that was still a bit 'scary' for most consumers when gateway was still a thing. Dell did more B2B because of that.

But I think there were a lot of them tbh. I'm sure I forgot many too :)
I'm confused. Who put those domains used by Windows Update in the router DNS blocklist? Is it the author since he said he configured it? If so, why is he blaming the user's employer company for it? And did he put them in to block Windows updates on purpose like he said he wanted to at the end? Wouldn't that block Windows Updates on all computers at home for that user?

Why would a large company want to route what could be gigabytes of Windows updates per computer through the corporate VPN for 100K+ employees thereby slowing down the corporate VPN introduce lag into remote desktop connections and VOIP calls/screenshares, and potentially paying a lot more in bandwidth fees?
This runs chills down the spine. Terrifying.
Hi! I think that, in my cursory reading, I misunderstood what the code is doing. I thought it was importing the module you're trying to analyze... I'll have to read more closely when I have some spare time.
