Nope, Windows keys are not in the TPM. Only BitLocker uses it in any common scenario and that you can disable before changing UEFI settings (or enter a recovery key), you can also use BL without a TPM.
Dude its security theatre. Nobody in DHS is actually protecting shit
> Hospitals create monopolies, independent doctors break monopolies with competition.

The question might be: can we create an Uber-like business that has gives doctors the tech infrastructure to consult with patients without it feeling like a mom and pop shop?
Windows Update is a delivery platform not just for OEM software, but also for component manufacturer software on self-built machines. Naturally, some of that software is shady as fuck.
TV is being replaced by even more sensationalist and less accountable youtubers.
Her family was actually somewhat well connected, her great-great-grandfather was the founder of Fleischmann Yeast Company and her father was a VP at Enron and held executive positions in the federal government. She attended an elite prep school and grew up friends with Tim Draper's daughter, which is how Tim Draper became her first investor.
Look to Sri Lanka if you want to see what a one-way kind of agreement that truly is.
If there's anyone here from Japan, why don't they provide the equivalent of secret service security (PSIA?) for the rest of a former prime ministers life? There were some cops present at his speech which might have prevented someone rushing the stage. But cops don't have the training (or site preparation) done by the secret service.
> If you're in B2B, plenty of larger companies will disqualify for not having SOC2/ISO27001.

And it's a good question whether you want such larger clients at all. At one of the previous places where I worked, we used to put deliberately bad answers (the worst that our public version of the security policy would allow, not the actual practices) in security forms in order to get rid of too-demanding clients.
Hah, well, yes. I think he was trying to show good faith in his position, and respect for former colleagues, but yes, the individuals must at some level be fine with what they’re doing.

In fact, the very notion is a dangerous and absurd one, that a corporation can do bad things without the individuals it comprises having done bad things.

Sadly that notion is enshrined in corporate law, and commitment to it is amply demonstrated by the impunity of bankers in the wake of the subprime crisis, to give one example.
Not wanting to sound too snarky, but TSMC is entirely dependent on the Dutch ASML for the machines used in their fabs.
Crack open a qmail tarball, it's just a couple files.
In a team it is generally good to be able to discuss approaches without becoming angry, shouting and leaving the meeting. Performance does not just encapsulate the code you produce, especially as a senior engineer.

After he left the team, the in-mem implementation was removed being widely recognized as a roadblock to building new features (needing to implement an in-memory version of sql WHERE clause or ORDER BY just to add new features to a web app that was backed by an actual SQL DB was error prone and there are many better solutions to testing your DB code)

The PR review was another explosion from people questioning his further development of this crazy complex in-men SQL implementation, and the questions were well founded but he was getting very irate at having to constantly defend this thing he was building that others on the team found to be a time suck.

This is definitely one sided, it was one of the most difficult situations for me to traverse as I’d never been in a situation where a coworker was what I would characterize as abusive to me and others on the team, so I still can’t really approach it fully objectively.
While I share your optimism I doubt it’s just a supply chain issue. It’s entirely different board design, different thermal requirements, power draw, chipset, etc. Browse their community site for more context.. plenty of discussion on the topic.
Sure, and you can argue this is bad, but the US dosn't have a good record of policing anti-competitive behavior (especially in foreign markets for obvious reasons) so that heuristic probably works better than you make it sound.

Of course not everything large American tech companies do is bad, but if a large American tech company does something that seems even remotely fishy, it's safer to first assume that it's bad until proven otherwise.
I agree, but just to be clear, when I said "human error" I was referring to errors that may have been committed by the operator of the vehicle.

I think "operator error" would be everyone's default assumption for any other make of vehicle, or if the make had not been mentioned.
FLA/GA are absolutely major ports. Savannah is the fourth busiest port in the US, right behind combined New Jersey/New York.
Microsoft's hostility towards open source never ended. They "heart" it only when making money off it.
Andreas Kling, the original author of the serenity os, has a series on youtube where he builds a javascript engine for his web browser.

That could be a good start for you if you want to see a competent programmer build an engine from scratch

Good luck!
Agreed, and it's far from being new too. My P15 came with this a few months ago. Just disable Secure Boot in BIOS.
The existing admin interface could be used as a very rudimentary content management, but it was really intended for quick internal data explorations and edits. Additionally, currently there are no roles for admins so permission controls within the admin area are not possible.

You could always implement your own custom CMS SPA frontend that interacts with the PocketBase API (that is how I'm planning to use it with the next version of my other open source project - Presentator).
Does bitlocker give a copy of your keys to you while encrypting your drive? Asking because I'm not a Windows user.
> SOC2 reports: it's viral, like the GPL. The DRL strongly suggests you have a policy to “collect SOC2 reports from all your vendors”.

This kind of thing should be frowned upon. Especially if it involves things one has to pay for. Requiring someone to get certified and then requiring everyone they speak to is also certified is just a racket for the certification provider.

Even if elements of the certification are good, the viral nature is not. A certification should survive based on its merits, not based on who manages to use the most strongarm tactics to ensure an industry requires it of all participants.
Large scale statistical analysis of words used in performance reviews is, to put it in the article's words, very unactionable feedback. How could you go about resolving this? The impression you get from a person is a very difficult thing to change.

If you were to treat each race and group differently, being mindful of this data when writing reviews you will probably end up with a system that is more racist than the one you started with. It is noted, for instance, that Asians received a higher incidence of "genius" feedback; they also have a higher IQ on average. Would it be more or less racist not to tell a gifted person that they are gifted based on their race? Certainly there is a stereotype that may have biased you, but there is a truth beneath that stereotype. It forms a very complex feedback loop, where a reality creates a self-enforcing perception. The mind is pattern seeking, but once it sees a pattern it will start to find it in places it wasn't present, and use these incidences to justify the pattern as a whole.

If you just try not to mention these things in reviews, you haven't solved the problem. You just aren't telling the person about it to their face. I would rather hear someone's biased opinion of me, than have them hold it behind my back.

The most pressing issue to me is that there is no way to detect which of these things are genuine insights and which are biases. The only way would be a control group who don't know each other's race. You could partially achieve this through online interactions, but the less of a person you experience, the less you can learn what they are like. The only way to hold a truly unbiased opinion is to never have talked to someone or seen them. A review being potentially accurate is inextricably linked with it being potentially biased.

Fundamentally, you can't bring your perception of your coworkers in line with reality given that: 1 — you don't know what reality is; 2 — you can only discern reality by perceiving it, yet your flawed perception is the issue you're trying to solve; and 3 — your perception of your perception is also subject to biases.
Long time ago I worked in a startup where CEO hired a manager who aspired to become CxO. This guy was talking bad things behind people backs and constantly undermining everyone when nobody except CEO was in the room (I witnessed this a few times because inutially I was on very good terms with CEO but later my name was trashed too). This guy was collecting whatever information he could and then was actively exploiting it to prove people are not competent. He created such toxic environment that in the end CEO trusted nobody, and when CEO realised what was going on it was too late. That guy was already badmouthing CEO in front of investors so CEO was removed. I took a lesson from this, that talking behind people's backs is serious red flag.
Have had four generations of X-series Thinkpads as my daily drivers. Lenovo's build quality and customer service has deteriorated significantly over the years. Now have a 12th gen Framework on order.
>>Not everyone was taught financial literacy before being dumped into a high stress job.

Financial literacy is quite literally adding and subtracting numbers. For somebody who gets in to FAANG sort of companies with mad algorithm skills. This sort of things are a cake walk. Financial Literacy applies to people who just didn't get any education. We are talking of people who can't even read and write.
Well no, you can keep Secure Boot enabled (which you should) and disable SG/DG and be able to boot or install Linux.
That being said, is the actual production infra archi for HN described somewhere ? Curious how simple it can afford to be.

We laugh at people piling layers and layers and artifacts on their sites, all in the hope of adding redundancy, handle "webscale" load, and avoid an outage (ironically increasing the chances that _something_ will break).

However, if a single hard drive crashing somewhere can cause your site to be down for minutes or hours, some non-tech people (managers, shareholders, customers) will wonder if the site is "professionnal" enough - and I can sympathize with them.
How would that have helped in this specific situation? I fail to see the relevance.
But this has nothing to do with being able to boot Windows. The license key isn't in there. The TPM is used by apps to store secure data, which you wouldn't necessarily expect to even survive a reboot.
Protip, if you aimlessly cycle in the city, follow a river so you don't have to look at the map all the time!
I was hitting that wall for a while until I realized that was scheme telling me to write multiple small programs for the task in question.
Two factor authentication is often implemented by SMS. For example, Microsoft’s single sign on is protected this way.

Bring-your-own-device is often the only way employees can receive text messages. Obviously most people have phones but there are legitimate cases where employees don’t or can’t use their device. For example, they may have lost or permanently broken their phone and are saving up for a replacement. They might be an immigrant worker with a phone contract in their origin country that limits their ability to receive texts abroad. They might be a member of a union that would no longer represent them because they waived their employment rights by providing their own equipment.

Is the point of SOC2 to show that you tried to get BYOD employees to do 2FA, or do you have to show that you implemented it without requiring personal devices? How do you do it without BYOD? Have all the SOC2 / ISO27001 certified businesses bitten the bullet and bought phones for all their employees?

I would concede that phones and SMS are a crappy way of doing this. App-based 2FA is a better tool but still relies on your employees having two devices. I miss the days of RSA tokens.

(This article is a good read, in general. I’ve lost count of the number of times someone has arbitrarily said “you can’t do that because we will fail our audit” without actually being able to give any details. This article is the first time I’m reading “you should do this” as opposed to “you shouldn’t do that”.)
They weren't talking about the concept of regulation. Just the reality of the US's ones.

And I think you're talking about contract law, not regulations.
Yes, and even fresh-squeezed orange juice is pretty sugary, not to mention acidic. Maybe if it's super pulpy that could have something to do with slowing down liquid getting into crevices, but I doubt it.
They are saying that your job is about preventing a slippery slope phenomena as pertains to scope creep, where adopting one large change can increase the propensity to consider another. I think you could also more accurately refer to it as a "sunk cost fallacy", a concept which you should also be familiar with. Rather than keep the product at its current size and risk an underwhelming release, we've already gone this far, why not give the sharks in the tank the frikkin' laser beams Dr. Evil once suggested?

I think the sunk cost is an example where there is a slope that actually is slippery due to to psychological biases. In the case of the live facial recognition, we are instead talking about a slope that is slippery because it gives power to the state, where governments are known for using their existing power to consolidate yet more power.
I would not say this was an outright _abusive_ boss, but a weird boss that did some things I thought were inappropriate. This was in my first game dev job many years ago and while at the time I did not think much of it, in retrospect it was a pretty uncomfortable management style.

He would sometimes set tasks intended to just teach me a lesson. That was cool, I learn best by doing. But his feedback on said task would then take the form of someone condescendingly teaching a child.

Boss: "Document how we will do Thing X."

Me: "Great. I've done some looking and I can see that there are three different industry standard general approaches to take here that I can expand on. Do you have a preference for one already or should I just pick what I think is best?"

Boss: "Just pick."

I do more research and pick Approach B. Put together entire proposal, as he was the kind that did not want to be disturbed to look at WIP. Present it to him, have him say: "This is wrong, I wanted to use Approach A."

This would be said in a dismissive "You should have known my preference" tone. None of the three approaches were _clearly_ superior here. There was no rule I found that "In Situation X, Use Approach Y". When I asked him his preference, he had none. But after I'd put in the work, it turned out he had a preference all along. I was not sure what the point was of this exercise considering he also chose not to expand on any reasons of why he preferred Approach A to B or C after the fact. I got the impression that because he had more experience in the industry than me, maybe it was meant to be some kind of lesson? I guess I just did not think he was a very good teacher.

Another instance that stands out as a bit strange was vacation. I asked for time off to go away for a Birthday, a few days. He was fine with this. As the time came, my plans ended up changing and I was no longer planning to go away but just do something local. When I casually mentioned this off-hand, he got somewhat offended, saying he gave me time off to go out of town and now I wasn't going out of town. I just asked how it is relevant to him what I end up doing with my days off. It's all just part of my annual leave, right? He dropped it after that, but was visibly sour about it.

I later learned he talked about how bad my boyfriend at the time and I were for each other behind my back, and tried to find ways to inject himself in my personal life in a way that I thought was just friendly at the time, but really was something else.

I suspect he's grown a lot since those times. I now realize that he was actually very junior despite being a manager himself, and did not really know what he was doing as much as I thought he did.

Since that one experience almost 15 years ago, all of my managers and TDs have been great (knocking all the wood).
You can't succeed without first doing a lot of failing. I didn't say my friends were losers. Losers quit when they fail. Winners get up, learn, and try again. I like to hang out with winners.
Correct. It also doesn't seem too hard to fraudulently claim a device ID that nobody else has claimed.
The problem I always found with guided meditation was that I would wake up once the guided meditation stopped and I would have slept so well in the 60 minutes during the meditation that I wouldn't be even remotely capable of falling asleep again.

Maybe the solution is a shorter one like you mentioned, so it only helps me get into that sleepy phase. I completely agree in its effectiveness though, I often violate almost every rule of good sleep hygiene and a guided medication will still do the job of getting me to sleep if I'm desperate.
Thanks for the info!

I have said may because I'm not using Windows on my systems for the last 20 years. IF they're not doing that, it's great, honestly.

I don't claim to be 100% correct, and kindly pointing that I'm wrong is enough to update my wrinkly muscle.
The proper amount of money would be $40B, as per the original promises by project proponents.
I went to Walton; it's a pretty shit school. They keep their stats up by pressuring anyone falling behind to drop out.
It is not a new feature, has been done for at least a decade now. It's intentional however that tampering seals the keys permanently.

At worst you'll have to enter a Bitlocker recovery key...
People who call US Democrats far left likely don't have experience with culture outside of their own and their local/national mainstream news.

Either that or they hang out on 4chan
Did you simply reinvent Winamp?
While it is true for the general market, I think for Lenovo specifically the proportion of user buying at least Thinkpads because they're known good dev machines would push for a much higher proportion of Linux users.

Completely out of my hat but I would not be surprised if a good 20%/30% of Thinkpad users are Linux users.

Hard to confirm/infirm though.
Looks like the 50GB hard drive in the 2008 Dell server at the colocation data center finally gave out.
According to this: https://superuser.com/a/1398914/38072

BitLocker uses TPM to store HDD encryption keys.

I suppose you need it to resize the partition without deleting your encrypted Windows data, at least.
In all practical meanings, yes.
This might be terrible news. Some of us Linux fans have been waiting for new Lenovo laptops featuring the next gen of AMD chips because they ship with RNDA2 GPUs.

RDNA2 is the most powerful open source friendly GPU out there.

This has been a long time coming for us Linux fans.
Part of that is that the private media are actually more authoritarian than the state one. Remember the "enemies of the people" headline?

For a while as a minister Boris Johnson was paid more by the Times than his ministerial salary. Johnson gave Lebedev a peerage for using his papers, the Evening Standard and the Independent, to promote him. One of the few papers still defending him in his half-resigned state is the Daily Mail. The press have very much been calling the shots until now.
Weapons of Mass Destruction, Weapons of Mass Destruction, Weapons of Mass Destruction. You have lost your moral ground to speak. Yes FBI and MI5 are included, your are part of the western intelligence alliance. Yes China is a baddy, but you have lost your credibility, I am not sure if you will ever get it back.
“Just following orders”
So pushing USB-C as a standard is not anti-competitive, but pushing for AV1 is?
It's full of fructose, which is slightly less viscous than sucrose and therefore healthier for the laptop.
No way, i thought laptop manufacturers were running a charity!
"...these anti consumer things." except AFAIK it's because of Thunderbolt and docking. Yes, USB 4 is a thing, but it has some differences.
Your "cultural tourism has been for the wealthy" has a tautological component.

That is, the culture you likely refer to is the 'the culture of an upper class (an aristocracy) or of a status class (the intelligentsia)', quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_culture .

In the 1920s people went to Nashville to visit the Grand Old Opry and hear country music. People went to the Catskills to see vaudeville. How are these not examples of "cultural tourism" by the non-wealthy, pre-dating WWII?

19 million people went to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904. How is that not mass tourism?

> cultural sites could use knowledge to gatekeep

They certainly can. But there are many such ways to gatekeep. The article mention cash. What about "Tourists to Venice must be able to read and write Venetian"? The very choice of how to gatekeep reveals much the gatekeeper.

A question like "Which James Bond films were filmed in Venice?" focuses on a different culture than "What famous club-footed author swam the length of the Grand Canal and across the lagoon to the Lido?" (And both question set the focus on foreigners, rather than locals.)

A more practical set of gatekeeping questions might include: "It is illegal to feed the pigeons on St. Mark's Square. What is the fine? A) 50 euros, B) 100 euros, C) 200 euros, D) 500 euros".

> wait until the Chinese tourists ... start arriving en masse by rail

The xenophobic comment is uncalled for. Just how many Chinese people do you think will travel several days by train from China to visit Venice? And why Venice, when there are so many other places to visit which are closer?

> exceptionally high tolerance for crowded conditions

Quoting "Are neighbour tourists more sensitive to crowding? The impact of distance on the crowding-out effect in tourism" at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S026151772...

] Some researchers claim that tourists from Asian countries, whose places of residence are commonly characterised by congestion, are more tolerant of crowding than those from Western countries (Pearce, 1995), yet contradictory findings are suggested by emerging studies. For example, Chinese tourists show unexpectedly sensitive attitudes and low tolerance of tourist crowding in China compared with Westerners (Jin & Pearce, 2011). In addition, in Taiwan, tourists from Japan, Korea, Singapore and the US have been found to be negatively affected by the large numbers of mainland Chinese tourists, while no significant impact has been found among tourists from Hong Kong, the UK and Australia (Chou et al., 2014; Su et al., 2012). These contradictions imply that the influence of cultural distance is more complicated than previously noted (Bi & Lehto, 2018).

Chinese tourists may be more likely to avoid a crowded Venice than American tourists.
It's always failure with you people, born to lose (but whine on HN in the meantime).
I have my eyes on the HP EliteBook 845 G9. Ryzen 6000, two user upgradable DDR5 slots (albeit not LPDDR5), 2280 M.2 PCIe 4.0.

They are not available yet, but my SO has a 840 G8 (Intel 11th) and it's a very decent machine.
Maybe the video was trying to reach out to people who might not otherwise think of working for the CIA.

There were some very cringe recruitment videos for the Russian army that went around online that made the thing look like some macho combination of push-ups and a video game yet look how they performed in war.

I think it would be pretty moronic to conclude much from some recruitment videos.
