This idea of "harm" is actually a really big issue in many current societies (at least Canada and United States) .

There is no monetary value of "harm" unless there is a claim of financial loss. But those financial losses are often future presumed customers, the company essentially claims a right to future revenue. However if an injustice has been done to the customer the company rightfully should lose future revenue.

I agree with you about ego driven revenge. But in fact to allow a bad actor to perpetuate is actually injustice and good people at lease care about, if not act to prevent, injustice.

Just like (IANAL) most court items, the fact of the matters matters most, the intent is mostly about modifying the consequences.

EDIT: this idea of "harm" is also what allows rights holders to go after Pirates by claiming that every download is a lost sale, which is clearly not true.
That's one of the many biases explored by behavioral economics. People absolutely look at percentage premiums even though it's the absolute numbers that "should" matter--issues like fairness aside.
Better than very good. I've just bought a Topping D90SE for my studio. It kills professional studio DACs from ten years ago at a fraction of the cost.
The things that's been transformative for me is that 95% of the external organisations I interact with have and use Teams. I cannot understate the power of broad uptake.

It's not a feature, or a piece of technical excellence, it's just that it is pervasive.
And today's kids can easily have a device that communicates with satellites every few seconds to determine their position on the globe, and can update servers with that position instantly, along with communication with nearly anyone on earth.

When I was a teenager, if my parents wanted to find me on weekends, they'd have to resort to calling other parents until they tracked me down.
Or wait, if its just about stable diffusion multiple people try to create onnx and directml forks of the models/scripts, which atleast in theory can work for AMD gpus in windows and wsl2
>and all engineers had some form of critical access to the production environment

Not to excuse the lack of monitoring or fine-grained control, but most engineers having some kind of prod access is what happens at companies where you are oncall for your own services / dev and ops are not separate roles.
Emerging New Civilisations
To be fair, I personally could not arrive at another interpretation of the GP's unspoken meaning other than the tactics pursued by some governments of disappearing drug users via prison or killing. I'm sure I'm just blanking, though.
- I print at least a few shipping labels a year.
- I sometimes print activities for the kids. This includes checklists that will then be laminated and need updated roughly quarterly.
- I have to photocopy papers for some financial services (completely stupid that I can't just send scans).
- I sometimes have to print forms that need signed, both for kid stuff and business.
- I print things for proofing so that I can mark them up with a pen. It may seem wasteful over marking up on the computer, but it helps me focus on it better.

There may be other things I'm not thinking of. Overall it ends up being a few hundred pages a year.
Wait.
I have two different team accounts, and you can switch from the app itself but it takes time and you don't receive notifications from the unused account, which makes it useless.
I also don't have it as a web tab because there are issues with calls and sharing screens this way.

So instead I have two team apps installed. One from flatpack and the other from the gnome store (or something like that, don't remember the exact stores).
And they work great! Well, they work as awful as the teams app work, but simultaneously without any issue at all.

With the PWA can you have multiple independent instances? Please tell me yes...
Really? So far I see no car's ready integrated with home p.v., some experiments do exists (Toyota) and some LIMITED commercial cars (Ford F150) offer something, but nothing is really ready.

I have a self-made p.v. with storage, I dream to being able just to integrate car's inverter power demand with p.v. inverter available capacity: most cars do not even offer MQTT/ModBUS communications to slowly regulate power demands. Just to regulate my hot water heater (a modern Daikin heat-pump) depending on p.v. available energy I have to craft some absurd home-assistant automation because NO ONE at Daikin really know what does it means "a solar-ready heat-pump" and no one who produce p.v. inverters really think that perhaps it's a good idea offering a good API to regulate devices in the house for maximum self-consumption.

Potentially we can improve self-consumption by more than 10% with just let's say +10USD per high-power device, no such thing exists on sale. The best you can get are "smart switches" who power-on or off devices with crappy automation and power routers with a smart meter if you have to limit injection to the grid.

Potentially cars can be used coupled with a fixed p.v. system and a small storage (for when you are not at home, but still need power for fridge and co) with a canbus open and universal API. Potentially. I'm curious if even find ONE BEV on sale who do that just with an open API...
Yes, both the disease and the vaccine cause vasculitis, which is linked to ED. Of course, not all vaccinated get vasculitis, because not all the vaccine ends up in the blood stream of the vacinated, but for a good portion of them it does and it's a well-documented fact already. That's why in Germany and Austria they recommend giving the vaccine shot using the classical appraoch with aspiration. Many European dotors have been sounding the alarm for well over a year now!
On a side note, has anyone ever negotiated an effective raise by asking for 100% salary for an 80% employment?

- "We're sorry but your salary range is above what we are willing to offer."

- "I am prepared to accept your upper range salary for 80% employment."

- "Deal!"

Additionally, incentives exist for him to report things he himself did while at Twitter, for example: https://twitter.com/igb/status/1562072030010191880

Thats tough to quantify. Are all calories equal? Middle America produces federally subsidized commercial corn used for HFCS, feedlots and "bio-fuels". First of all are those calories really "food" compared to what California grows? Maybe only in emergency situations (which is partially why it was subsidized in the first place). Second of all, in this hypothetical situation, you'd have to take away the federal subsidies anyway since the blue states are not paying anymore. How much of middle america goes bankrupt if this happens? Wouldn't that lower the production output numbers?
> “…according to expert quantification and analysis in January 2022, over half of Twitter’s 8,000-person staff was authorized to access the live production environment and sensitive user data. Twitter lacked the ability to know who accessed systems or data or what they did with it in much of their environment.”

Half of any company having access to prod is insane, but half of a giant like Twitter is unimaginable to me. It really explains how compromising single employees seems so effective there.
Yep, my personal webpage probably has like a 10/10 score on any performance tracking thing you could find. Because I literally just wrote some html and css, and dropped it into github pages.
I suspect it doesn't mean much for the sale. From what I understand, it's mainly down to the agreements signed with Twitter and what the Delaware courts make of them in the trial starting October 17th. Those agreements are very Twitter-friendly, so my personal guess is that Musk is going to lose.

As to what he wants, Musk is mercurial enough that I'm not sure that's a meaningful question. Did he want Twitter for a little while? Yes. Did that ever make sense given his other responsibilities? No. Did it make sense to investors? Based on Tesla's stock price slide, definitely not. Is he having buyer's remorse? Clearly. If he got a really good deal on it, might he swing back? Who knows. Is Twitter so badly run that they might do better in somebody else's hands? Yes. Is that person Musk? I doubt it.

So if I were betting on Musk being smart, I'd be that Twitter will charge him a few billion dollars to get out of the deal, which would be better for everybody than Musk taking a $14 billion loss the instant the deal closes (which is is $44 billion bid minus the $30 billion that is Twitter's current market cap). But Musk could well be more prideful than smart, so I'm excited to see how all this turns out.

I’ve had this worry for years of a state level attack via network connected FSD cars. But I’m hardly alone, it was shown in a Fast and Furious movie, so people are thinking of it.
I’m talking about the post I originally commented on. Things were disabled so durability is not guaranteed.
Thanks for the response! Looks like I have a new project to start on this weekend.

All of the jobs I've worked have not had any technical restrictions on what software engineers could install on their work laptops.

Most (but not all) had some sort of asset management tool and/or antivirus as standard on computers, but nearly all provided exceptions to having that functional/installed.

I, and I expect many developers, likely select companies with IT policies that avoid potentially harming individual productivity.
Looking for senior frontends (100% remote)

As a member of the product team you will be an integral part of the continuous evolution of our core platform. The product is a multi-tenant solution build on modern architectural principles (EDA), running on components from Azure. Being proud members of the MACH alliance, we live by the principles stipulated (Micro Services, API first, Cloud native, Headless) which is reflected in the entire platform, from the smallest service to our own web application.

Makes sense. Reallocate the cost to the cheapest cost avoider.
From the article I found this link: https://firewalltimes.com/twitter-data-breach-timeline/

I would argue that it really doesn't matter if Twitter is worse than most other companies, the problem is that none of these companies should be operating with such poor (non-existent) standards. Especially when they have as much data as Twitter. I personally "protect" my tweets so that others, like my employer, cannot see them. There are many more people with so much more sensitive information that are trusting in this system.
there's rewards for whistleblowers because often doing so will destroy your career and result in massive legal bills from much more powerful entities suing you.

Mudge was already an officer of the company, he had much more guaranteed money to gain from just shutting up and staying there.

...which is a recent internet meme typically associated with counterfactual pseudo-history.
Yourself and your brain. If you can't find an 8% YoY around you are you even a cogitating being?

Inflation is one of those things that infiltrates people's brains . Everything macro infiltrates people's brains and makes them waste time, while they should focus on themselves and their surroundings.
But it’s not horrifying either. Twitter transacts mostly junk messages. Any serious journalist I’ve seen on twitter says to DM on signal.
If you have more time off then you have more time to find better uses for yourself than being beholden to the corporate world. Your employer doesn't want you to think like that so they don't want to give you more time to think about doing better things with your life.

Fred Thompson (R, TN), Chairman, Committee on Governmental Affairs: …If you gentlemen would come forward… We’re joined today by the seven members of the L0pht, Hacker think Tank in Cambridge Massachusetts. Due to the sensitivity of the work done at the L0pht, they’ll be using their hacker names of Mudge, Weld, Brian Oblivion, Kingpin, Space Rogue, Tan, and Stefan.

…

Sen. Thompson: I am informed that, you think that within 30 minutes the seven of you could make the internet unusable for the entire nation, is that correct?

Mudge: That’s correct. Actually one of us with just a few packets.
> people are going to have to consider that perhaps they don’t all have to live in the top 5 cities in their country.

I think it's an interesting question: why are there only a handful of "top" cities? What can we do to make cities that aren't desirable, more desirable?
Getting flashbacks to the sci-fi short story "Grenville's Planet". First contact may not go very well.
You might be right. I assume lending as a regular part of the economy but my grandparents lived in a world where it was very difficult, even for a mortgage. I can't see any real benefit of credit cards, payday lenders.
Hey Zack, I was about to plug your channel. Good work bro!
The issue at hand is whether the individual intended to harm the business. Malicious intent matters a great deal in law. It's why there are different degrees of murder/manslaughter. To take your example to the extreme. It's OK to want to murder someone, but if you go out of your way to actually do it, you'll be booked for 1st degree. If instead, you run a stop sign and someone gets killed, the penalty will be much less.

If you're serious about audio you just plug a cable into your breakout box and have your interfaces. converts, and preamps there. Your sound hardware can be anything from a pure i/o to an elaborate instrument under computer control. You can do audio synthesis and compositing on the CPU, GPU (not so different from a DSP) or external hardware.

Soundcards are only 'gone' in the sense that PCI cards are less important because many people use laptops and the audio built into motherboards is more than Good Enough for everyday purposes.
For many decades, California has had extremely restrictive building regulations, especially in the most desirable areas. That is slowly changing, but the actual building has always been straightforward. It is getting the permission to do so that is complicated, expensive, and often just impossible.
>>Twitter employees were repeatedly found to be intentionally installing spyware on their work computers at the request of external organizations.”

That right there is a forking nuclear showstopper . . . and nevermind the moire broad

>>employees could install “whatever software they want”

Effectively, twitter has zero security. For journalists, or anyone working in an environment that has kinetic consequences (opposition to authoritarian regimes, etc.), it is right up there in the frightening scale...
The problem with technology and morality is that humans are not consistently moral creatures.

I offer objective morality as follows…

Good is the conservation of the potential of being.

Bad is the waste of the potential of being.

Evil is the corruption and perversion of the potential of being.

This model requires a bit more ideological context which I avoid for the sake of brevity, though these principles are sufficiently contained to illustrate a substantive approach to evaluating the topic.

There aren't a lot of other contexts in which I can effectively make $500-2000 for being willing to talk to an annoying, but harmless, person for an hour while saying "no" a lot.
To be fair the criminal justice system in this country basically feels like blackmail since very rarely does it end in a trial, but instead the threats of massive charges/prison time unless you give in and come to a deal.
Ironically we do a lot to defend our privacy, such as kids not having any social media. I just pick my battles and recognize those I have already forfeited (I mean we could just use get walkies and speak in code, which we did before kids had cell phones).
Libraries have licensing requirements that your company needs to comply with. Being able to download and use them without any oversight is an recipe for violating them.
Go w/ templates is more an analog to JSP tech than JSF tech, I think that's the key differentiator. I'm guessing JSP is significantly faster and Go would be more memory efficient, but I hardly doubt any of that matters at the scale these two would be used.

JSF OTTH is a component framework and is much higher level than JSP|go/template. JSF performance probably falls below both JSP and Go templates. But, at a much lower cognitive load that both by an order of magnitude. For instance, to put a street map on a page with PrimeFaces, you simply type:

<p:gm ::tab-space::

and let the autocomplete in your Java IDE fill in the rest of the characters to form: <p:gmap id="googleMap" apiKey="xyz" />.

Ultimate it's a tradeoff between getting exact control over the HTML (which you often don't need) and developer productivity.
Has the author not see. The collective shrug from society when it comes to security? Why are they surprised? People still flock to Facebook and google in droves. And now Tik tok. Clearly people do not give any f’s about privacy and security.
I've been in Marketing/Growth for +/- 15 years. One of the biggest challenges I encountered was trying to find the best courses to take when I wanted to upskill. I always spent time either searching on Google, asking people on social media (crickets), and closer friends.

I had no way of knowing if the course was any good.

This is why I'm building Learn to Market (in Bubble).

It's still early days and not all of the functionality is flawless (but it works).

Would love to know:
- What you think
- Do you find it helpful?
- What am I missing (my blindspot)?

Thanks!

p.s. I've never really built anything before (no code OR code).
It should be noted that rate of accidental deaths in childhood has fallen drastically since then:

> Between 1960 and 1990 the death rate for children aged five to 14 fell 48 percent ... a growing share of the accelerating reduction in child mortality arises from a sharp drop in deaths from unintentional injury or accident.

The freedoms you describe did not come without significant cost. Some families paid the ultimate price.
Sure, but what you are describing is no longer a multi-tenant application/database. It's essentially a single-tenant deployment of your tech stack per customer. Which is not very cost effective.
Most big tech companies allow you to install anything on your laptop as long as you use common sense.

Quantity of data is not quality of data.
I worked with 100s of companies from small to giant conglomerates over my time in advertising and 90% have what HN would consider bad security.
I've seen the Teams client get confused about which sound device to use when connecting or disconnecting USB headsets or speakers. That seems to get fixed by switching sound input/output back and forth but it can be a bit of a hassle.

Other than that, I haven't seen significant sound or video issues during meetings either on my personal or work devices, and it would seem to be specific to Teams. My recent experience using a Linux desktop for work is only from the last few months, though.

As always with Linux and peripherals, your mileage will probably depend a lot on the hardware.

At the point you’re actively protecting a group that doxes people and tries to make targets commit suicide, you’re doing something very wrong.

And no, “hate offset credits” are not a thing or a solution.

People can argue about piracy (real or imagined). Intentionally causing distress and physical violence is very different.
What's your data here? And what does "biased towards left" even mean?

In one sense, it's trivial to prove, in that Twitter bans a lot of hate and abuse, and these days targeted hate is a popular tool of the right across the globe. (See, e.g., anti-gay and anti-trans panics going on all over. Or specific ethnic hate depending on region.) So if cracking down on that is being biased toward the left, then yes, Twitter definitely is.

But presumably you're saying something else?
It was transformative _because_ it was a downgrade.
