I am not defending CrowdStrike here (my work laptop, that I am typing this on, is molasse-like thanks to them), but their PSIRT team (they have one right?) is just another team in the corp machinery. What PSIRT team and the engine team decide to respond have no effect on what the analyst team decides to do.

Do no harm and cover your ass. No one is going to complain a false positive on a custom PoC binary....right?

Everything else, yeah those are pretty shitty.
Consider a rock. Is it negative or positive? It is neither. The rock is proof that you can be neutral.

Enlightenment is realizing that everything shares the same nature as a rock.
Forget that, I erroneously asked for walking directions my bad. Shame I can't delete the comment lol
I had a macbook pro that was involved in the recall for that series for catching fire.

The machine caught fire in my bed. I woke up to it burning and melting.

I took it to apple SF... they had the machine for nearly 2 months while they "investigated" -- then they returned it to me and said that at one point in the machines life, the moisture sensor had been triggered.

Apple "offered" me an opportunity to buy a replacement at full price. even though the machine was under recall for battery fires. I had a battery fire. But because they claimed the moisture sensor had been hit - they wouldnt honor the recall and didnt replace my machine.

Fuck that.
Well tbh a vast swathe of Chinese phone brands serves this niche, their cameras are (relatively) terrible in all aspects except on paper.

I predict[0] we'll see more people choosing Clickhouse over Snowflake in the next 5 years. Clickhouse will get reasonably feature compatible with Snowflake and give people a better escape hatch if they want to self-host their data stack. Clickhouse, Inc is building a cloud product that abstracts away the complexity and there's already companies like Altinity that will spin up a cluster for you in minutes.

Author’s Note (Aug 19, 2022)

My September Perspectives on History column has generated anger and dismay among many of our colleagues and members. I take full responsibility that it did not convey what I intended and for the harm that it has caused.
1. As per BP's Q12022 reports, their capital expenditure was $2.9B compared to $1.6B of buybacks. Is that too much? Too little? I don't know. However, I do think your characterization is way too simplistic.

2. the boom-bust cycle is exactly the reason not to reinvest all the surplus profits now. You might intuitively think that investing now will help lower oil prices, but it takes years for an oil project to be online so by the time the project is complete there will be an oil glut.

And now your customers hate you.
Just wait until they figure out that they can email you calendar invites and that your email integration with your calendar will mostly likely automatically add their spam meetings to your already busy schedule.

It's infuriating.

Sometimes you end up thinking you're double booked randomly and have a momentary panic while figuring it out. Other times it prevents legitimate people from scheduling time with you because your calendar has a bunch of slots blocked off by spam meetings.
Yea some employers are already getting uppity like they expect the unresignation to happen lol.
I think when the parent commend said "no discussion allowed", it was in the context of "no recourse", not that they got some sort of a pseudo-gag-order.

I.e., basically meaning that Azure refused having any further discussions between then and the parent user, as attempts to resolve that specific case. Not that they dont't allow the parent comment user to talk about it with others on HN (or elsewhere).
I really wish Apple would do another "Snow Leopard" - go an entire year WITHOUT any new features and just fix bugs and documentation.

This twitter thread is a perfect example of why it's needed

The authors own point seemingly being that this will negatively affect companies bottom lines in the long run in the name of chasing stats seems to undermine the point of this being "late stage capitalism".

If this does actually negatively affect bottom lines, it's bad business, end of story. Capitalism seeks to optimize output and if this is truly failing to do so, it's not a capitalist pursuit.
Shouldn't cheaper dev talent mean that it's easier to start a Google etc. competitor? Many of those smart IT graduates also stay in the EU for various reasons, and accept the lower pay.

The point about the market I agree, the EU market is way too fragmented still, but it's slowly getting there.
> What happens when a Chromebook (...) breaks?

You throw it away (or better, sell for $20 "for parts only" on craiglist/ebay), then buy a new one. They are 3-5 times cheaper than a regular laptop, and aren't all that much more prone to breakage. And all the important stuff is in the cloud anyway. "Backup" and "restore" aren't even distinct operations there.

Don't expect to run Adobe Premiere on one of those, but hey, you get what you pay for.
Really good article. Some of these are subtle, and really must be learned the hard way. The only one I found myself thinking I disagreed with was "85. Multithreading is rarely worth the added complexity." Maybe I simply have yet to learn it the hard way, but of all the ways to add complexity, I have tended to find multithreading as one of the more legitimate. That being said, it has to be done in a simple, easy to reason about way. Usually for me, this means fork-joining homogeneous tasks.
Ahh damn. Does signing in on the phone first not work? I'm struggling to remember what the captive screen wanted last time I did it, it's been a while.
They are excellent products, (I’m typing this from my iPhone 12 Pro Max), but Apple does many things which are anti-consumer.
Isn't Clickhouse a hosted SQL DBMS? Not really comparable to a cloud data lake.

Snowflake/Databricks scales infinitely across cloud object stores like S3. Clickhouse is run as a single (or sharded) process that uses the local file system like any other SQL database, and requires volume provisioning as your data scales. It also has a fixed run cost (EC2 or wherever it's hosted) versus an "on-demand" model where read clusters are spun up to run queries against static objects that have no fixed cost other than storage pricing.
Some background: new leadership at ARPANET demanded all hosts to switch from the old protocol (NCP) to the new one developed by Cerf and Kahn (TCP). This change caught many by surprise, and the migration was a long and painful one for teams. "The transition from NCP to TCP was done in a great rush...occupying virtually everyone's time 100% in the year 1982. Nobody was ready" (Janet Abbate, Inventing the Internet, MIT Press 1999)

It's possible but yes that would be a waste of an individual or group's time given the current techniques. It could be crowd sourced or automated with machine learning.

I was thinking of the former - basically a bunch of people who would be well within the bounds of "normal" even if unmedicated, but who have easy access to powerful stimulants and thrive off the high-productivity buzz.

Looking at the rates of ADHD diagnosis worldwide, it is clear that someone is getting it wrong - but that brings us to the deeper discussion of how far capitalism should be allowed to dominate; i.e. whether having large numbers of drugged-up but productive citizens is actually an OK situation for a country to be in.
I’d say captchas are reliant on not being open about their detection methods, otherwise they would be easier to game.

AFAIK the image selection is only part of determining you’re a human, the other part is tracking your mouse movement and so to see if you’re real.

It's valid to point out to children that platforms have an incentive to suck them in and keep them on there, but this has nothing to do with ads.

Netflix is a paid subscription service that does not show you ads, yet they have just as strong of an incentive to keep you on their platform as much as possible so you don't go to a competitor. This is simply the nature of online services -- a better online service keeps you on there longer, and in a world of significant online competition, everyone is trying to suck you in.
I would kindly say that they didn’t think this system hard enough since it has no fallback way to authenticate. I left the country, a year and a half ago and I accidentally locked the card couple of month ago then I went to their embassy in Copenhagen. Their answer in short:
“Sorry the format of your card is not supported anymore, we can’t recover your code, you have to go to the police office in Estonia and ask for a new one, but it won’t be approved since you don’t live there anymore, so you should maybe try to apply to e-citizenship”
For a card that expires in middle of 2023 isn’t amazing to learn that they don’t support it anymore. Also applying to e-citizenship costs ~120€. When this card is the only thing you can use to access to your Estonian bank account like it was my case, I don’t know how does it sound to you but well not that great! I have something to compare with since I have pretty much the same electronic id in Denmark and in Sweden.
Yeah the big downside is the exponential explosion in e-waste with all the LCDs that went obsolete within a few years, with no real resale market since everyone is one click away from getting a brand new one on Amazon.

I'm still running a 13 year old LCD TV in a guest bedroom. Just the thought of trying to either sell or see it end up in a landfill upsets me.
Be the documentation you want to see in the world.
> Nobody forced NATO to expand to Ukraine either

Cut the Russian propaganda, NATO didn't expand to Ukraine. Ukraine, a sovereign country, wanted to join NATO, as is their every right. Denying Ukraine that right and excusing Russia's war crimes is pretty bad.
He's a spy.

edit: cleared by MI5 just like every other BBC journalist in Britain, but moreso, seeing as he was the economics editor for BBC Newsnight, then for Channel 4 News.

edit: to be clear, when I say he's a spy, I mean that he is being paid by British intelligence to report on the operations of left wing organizations, sabotage them, push them into doing extreme and unpopular things which also hopefully constitute grounds for arresting targeted individuals, and to say obnoxious things that piss normies off as a representative of "the left" in mainstream media.

edit: allegedly.
A Bigger Paintbrush: On scale, optimization, and beauty
Well I paid for a TV, cable network, netflix, disney plus, hbo, prime, switch, playstation and still got tracked and ad displayed.

I'm a huge advocate of paying for content and artist (when you have the budget for) but what they are doing has nothing to do about it.
pretty much any infant seat is easy to deal with but you can only use those for a year at most. its all the bigger car seats for the next 5-12 years of their lives that are annoying
It takes a bit of work, but you can replace the default Android TV launcher with an ad-free launcher, such as the free and open source FLauncher:

This should work on any Android TV device.
4-day week would be a thing for example when employers out of desperation for not being able to find workers start enticing borderline great resigners by 4-day week (so you get all the benefits of full time employment: health insurance, pensions,...). But this is assuming workers continue to have the upper hand.
Withdrawal from Syria. The G7 invite. Pulling out of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty.

Attempting to blackmail Ukraine for his own political gains. Imagine they actually complied and were later found out. Even now Ukraine has to fight back against a reputation of corruption, and he was adding fuel to the fire.

For your example, the approach of denigrating European allies to get them to pay more fomented division. You might also recall he called for the US to withdraw from NATO.

When he still denied Russian activities relating to the election, despite the Mueller report and Senate investigation confirming it, all based on a chat with Putin.

When he held water for Putin's claim of Russia not shooting down MH-17 and instead muddied the waters with his doublespeak.
Just for you buddy https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3211968
My condolensces for your Mom. Plus, sorry about those other pretty difficult situations. My partner and i often wish to quit the "Rat race", but have a teen kid...so want to wait until they head to college. Of course, although we have a loose plan, i am fearful that we head off to some sort of cheaper living state in the U.S., work less...and then end up through some set of whacky circumstyances back to needing to find work that pays more...and by then we'd have aged a little more. Clearly, i'm just a nervous nellie...but its so tough and expensive in the U.S....at this point, i would settle for a cheap, modest home...where my partner can manage the smallest of gardens, where i don't have tio kill myself at a job to pay a mortgage, and a place that isn't too extreme in any way (don't want politically extreme people, don't want racists, don't want too many rich folks, no/low crime, etc.). When i talk to friends, i sometimes hear the suggestion of my partner and i heading off to live on our own farm in the middle of nowhere...but honestly, wqhile my partner loves gardening, we both also love pavement...Yes, having a walkable town is so important and so very fulfilling! Plus, we actually like to interact with other humans to a degree...so i think we may not be able to tolerate too much isolation, at least for too long.

Sorry, i didn't mean to make this somr sort of streaming conciousness message...Just watned to say sorry about your Mom, and kudos to you trying something different! And, of coiurse, i hope things work out for you, and wishing you the best of luck and opportunity!!
Dual clutch gearboxes are kind of on their way out already, no?

Electric cars don't have gearboxes at all, and electric cars are "what's coming next/the future", no?
To clarify, you think that the "low-information voter" would benefit from having less information?
I was referring to some material from the no-longer canon Star Wars Extended Universe, where it was referred to during development as the "Imperial Planetary Ore Extractor", and some characters working on its design genuinely believed (due to brainwashing) that the Death Star "was developed to break up dead, lifeless planets to extract the valuable ores and elements within". https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Qwi_Xux

Of course, if programmers are raised from a young age and brainwashed into believing that workplace surveillance is innocent / good, that's a different problem than adults who should know better when it comes to the real world results of using the tech they are building.
(I just wanted to say thank you for using the word "apologist" so I didn't have to.)

That was really all I had: expressions of astonishment at the prevalence of Google apologist comments here today.

In an effort to be constructive let me say, it's a matter of scale. Google can't be fair because of their scale. Contrariwise, I use small-scale services and get outstanding customer service.

E.g. Tarsnap, cperciva is a god among men when it comes to customer service. Or sr.ht (Sourcehut) ddevault is right there on IRC most days. Or Podia, I wanted a certain font on my site, they didn't have it, I emailed them about it and they literally added it within the hour. Give these folks your money, eh?
I have no Snowflake experience, but some limited BigQuery experience. And it's very easy for a small company to get to $100k/year bills without massive data.
If you want a TV-priced display for use as a dumb monitor, just buy a TV and don't give it a wifi password. My main desktop monitor is a 43" Roku/TCL thing that is still running the factory firmware. Works great.
I'm guessing they are talking about electronic voting in general, and not the specific system Estonia uses.
You'd better wake up sooner: "Static analysis with SL has matured to the point where it has been applied industrially in the Facebook Infer program analyzer, an open source tool used at Facebook, Mozilla, Spotify, Amazon Web Services, and other companies (www.fbinfer.com)."
You didn't have an unlimited sick policy. You had an undocumented limit. Documenting it lets people know where they stand and protects them in the event they need to take sick time but the boss wants to punish them for it anyway. It also means there's one standard for everyone, rather than people being treated in a discriminatory fashion (you get three weeks, but Samantha gets one).
There no frontend to bring up an OSM? Literally you need a single line to load one up:

> mostly wheat at this point

Wheat and a few million people who had to leave their country, but yeah, wheat...

It obviously is a major crisis in Europe and has many ramifications, if all your neighbours mysteriously die in the same week it won't affect you personally but you surely will feel down or threatened. If it was just about wheat nobody would care, Ukrainian wheat isn't even exported to EU countries
Yea, I suffer from serious oppression and inequity narrative fatigue. I couldn't really get past the first few paragraphs. Sure there is inequity between workers and their management. But first off, it's not always tilted towards management. There are many indexes on which we can measure how one party fares over another. But anyone who is moved to write about inequity only assumes a single index and that management is always oppressive and employees are always helpless and oppressed.

Secondly, the longer I have been a participant of society and markets, I've come to realize that power imbalances are as affected by how much the participants stand up for themselves in the face of power grabs as it is how much other participants grab. But again, when inequity is described, those that grab are universally criticized for grabbing and those that allow it are never offered advice or encouragement on how to either resist or walk away. I believe the latter would be much healthier for society and markets.
Not to be glib but it sounds like GCP is the wrong cloud system to use in production. Credit card numbers get stolen and show up in weird places all the time, and the way Google handles these cases shows you what Google thinks of its customers. Why build on such an untrustworthy platform when there are alternatives?
In which way not comparable?
I use gog.com instead of steam where I can. They provide DRM free installers for all their games (this may have changed more recently not sure).

Anyway gog is really great :)
I'm surprised the popping sound doesn't surface much more than that. I recently bought a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro (so a 2K€+ machine) and this popping sound I get when I use the built-in speakers is awful.

After Googling around, it seems this issue hits a lot of people and dates back to the first M1 Macs being released (nearly 2 years now) and has still not been properly addressed (and I never found a workaround other than plugging headphones and just not using the speakers). And as you said, Apple seems clueless about it.
I went to get my CompSci master in a public college somewhere in NYC, total cost $20k.

Now I earn more than $250k/yr.

You can get into college without spending insane amount of money. You can also choose a more marketable major.
Your snark is uncalled for.

I completely agree with the comment and I have 4 teenagers.

In fact having children has made me more acutely aware of the issue, not less. Because now I have more things I want to do, and face more barriers of both time and money that I have to trade off.

> It is clear this 'Self Service Repair' model is designed to prevent independent repair shops from making money, therefore eliminating them.

how is this clear? do you think everyone will simply start fixing their own devices? from my experience a tiny tiny minority of people have both the necessary experience and the time to do this, thus leaving the independent shops mostly unaffected.
Because it can be fixed trivially, eliminating the threat? Literally, it already happened here:

https://github.com/seletskiy/godiff/commit/865648740d705a24a...

Just as described, the problem was raised and then fixed.

Now let's assume someone like Oracle goes and acquires 1000 unlicensed tiny open source projects, just to be a dick, and closes their source and begins copyright trolling. Here's what happens: people switch off of those projects. I'm not trying to diminish the usefulness of godiff; it is useful! But it's not literally irreplaceable; there may even already be other options in the ecosystem, and if there's not, it's not something that can't be removed temporarily, and replaced long-term.

This blog post is a little alarmist IMO, but people who do this kind of sleuthing are doing a service to the open source community, because yes, issues like this can just be mitigated.
It's only a matter of time until these span their own Amazon Sidewalk-like networks and then possibly use the neighbors smartphone as a gateway.

Like "my Samsung TV" <--> "neighbors Samsung TV" <--> 'neighbors Samsung Smartphone" (or skip the Smartphone if their TV is already connected without a properly set up firewall)
You can provide a better quality of life than any child had 100 years ago, for very little money. So why exactly would money be the limiting factor?
Given the economic impact of children and pregnancy on peoples lives and careers, “car seat inconvenience” has to be deeply buried in the noise. I would think the career gaps, copays, child and college expenses are way, way more significant.
I wanted to be a teacher when I was in high school (and I still do; I like teaching people new things). Then I found out brand new engineering graduates made more than any adult employed by the school district except for the superintendent and high school head principal.

I still want to teach, but taking the 70% pay cut required to do it does not make sense.
> it worth noting it comes with a cost (eg X% of your cloud bill) but you get much better interaction with the support and service team.

An account manager doesn't cost you anything - neither would a CE (or SE). There would likely be a minimum spend required, or if you're below that a commit, but there's no %age of annual spend charged for having an AM. In reality, and AM will save you money, as you can negotiate with them, whereas you can't with a website.
