it's not an Android phone. Please go back to Android if what you want is Android. I don't mean that in jest, but in all seriousness. You've gotten used to a certain way of doing things for over a decade, keep at it.

It makes no sense for you to change if you don't like the other way of doing things and it makes even less sense to discuss "why why why isn't the new system working like my old one".

Yandex in particular is good with reverse image search is the main thing that won me over. It uses the same system Google used before they replaced it with machine learning and made it useless.

Google Image search these days seems to be "Oh that image you sent me is an Apple, here are pictures of other Apples" rather than showing me other sizes of the same image, and other images that are very similar looking.
Except management who were made Partners I assume? Every time this happens, the good ones leave immediately, the ones looking at career progression stay for 2-3 years, and the shit ones stay for good, as they ultimately fail upwards into management if they don't get fired long enough.
Theory of mine is that there are things that go into how buildings look, materials and current tradition. But also the actual tools an architect uses.

100% this. Socialist and communist critiques of our current and historical modes of production identify some systemic issues. It's worth engaging with those critiques more deeply than "communism bad!"
Any reduction in memory managed by VMWare would be savings though. Say they need 50% of the VMWare license this year and 5% next year they're probably still happy.

At least happy until whatever IBM has been promising behind closed doors runs out, and then IBM start turning the screws.
Almost no rules within crypto, if you want to experiment. It's one of the selling points of the scene. OTOH regulation is slowly but steadily making its way over there as well.
No, what happened with w3fools is that someone realized that it was not “politically correctly” so they picked out a couple of “fixed” examples and said “never mind it’s fine now.”

The reality is that w3schools is low quality spam and it will never change.
This, unfortunately.

Fortunately it's quickly nipped in the thread on reddit. The news isn't new, and companies already had shy of a quarter to work on it, but not that we hit Q3 and forecasting for Licensing is now kicking in for Q1-Q2 23' it's now sudden that the capex will be $$$ so there is a huge rush to migrate to mitigate licensing cost and sunk cost of a yearly licensing option.

Most IT/Sysadmins do not communicate with Finance/FPA, but the ones that do are really ahead of the game. I'm fortunate that in my past and present org(s) I always include them on talks, and once they are on your side they are an invaluable ally. Money talks, finance talks.

IT and Finance are back office administration, or the other side of the house in many orgs and should be talking about all terms of licensing and proper forcasting, but I do see it strained because IT focuses on what the tech can do, and finance only understands money and liability.

But IT can also mitigate liability if it's framed properly. This MSP sysadmin is clearly only in tech and never went out of it. Which isn't bad. But it is a very, very common silo and trope for external IT partners.
Yeah, last time I worked retail, our prices by default were 2x our cost.

People gasp when they hear that, but 2x wholesale doesn’t mean we were making bank. We were spending all that money on wages, utilities, the property itself, taxes, equipment, etc.

If people think that charging $20 for a $10 widget is too much, they can fly to Shenzhen and buy it for $10.
Humanities jobs are almost gone, you'd have to get a job as a teacher teaching humanities. Everything is done with computers these days. They have to get a good enough job to pay off $80K in student loans, and clerk and retail jobs won't do that.
What are all the motives here?

One category would be to acquire information -- uses of which include predicting business outcomes of legal proceedings, and affecting legal proceedings by discrediting a witness.

Could another category be to intimidate a whistleblower? Presumably, if you blanket the whistleblower's colleagues with requests for info/dirt about them, the witness is going to hear about that. Presumably they're going to feel threatened, by the fact of powerful interests not even hiding that they're out to get the whistleblower.

Separate from intent, an additional possible effect is adding to the cumulative chilling effect on whistleblowers in general. We keep learning, from news and TV/movie fiction, that whistleblowers usually lose big.
Short version (compared to the book): https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/03/16/book-review-seeing-lik...
Old and fairly trivial insight is that most hockey-stick graphs end up being S-curves and that's already in sight for most of the ones given here. Population is on its way to a plateau, so is energy consumption in the rich world, and so on. Economic growth due to poor nations caching up will still keep going for a while but it's not that unlikely that we'll eventually end up in a fairly static situation at least for a time, which wasn't uncommon in human history.

runaway scenarios without anything reigning them in are very rare or otherwise we wouldn't be here talking about them because we'd all have drowned in Tribbles already.

There's a lot of psychology in these imagined scenarios and relatively little long-run empirical observation because complex systems tend to have a significant amount of constraints and regulatory mechanisms that kick in either voluntarily or involuntarily to impose some limits on growth. They tend to be more cyclical in nature rather than tending towards unlimited or even linear growth.
I lived in Brasília three years in my later teens in the early '80s. It was ambitious but fell short. The superblocks were cold and impersonal. There were many strange ideas such as ... all the hotels should be stuffed into two hotel sectors close to the city center. In the almost 40 years since I left I've heard there's more of a local culture and perhaps things have improved. Back then everyone in Brasília was still from elsewhere.

No. Everything on reddit is true.

You make some valid observations about them using social wedges to drive participation. It was a means to an end --it happened in Africa, South America, Asia, etc. but yet, once communist those promises never came to fruition.

In principle many of the constitutions of communist countries afford(ed) citizens more freedoms to the people than say the US constitution, but in practice that was blatantly not the case with a bit of happy time in some parts of eastern Europe for a few years before the Soviets went in to quash the threat and establish harder regimes.

Not strange at all, CEO and Finance talk about budget. If cost is going to 10x, by doing nothing then it is going to be an quick decision. Most CTO's would've brought it up in the last quarter and be working on it now.

The flatness in this case is the outer surface of the aluminium rim. And as a rim enthusiast, I can agree that the modern flatness is less appealing than compared to those in the past.
Benefiting from the modules doesn't mean not using dongles anymore. Even assuming that modules aren't being swapped around, different people will have different sets that maximize their utility. For me it's one A, two C and one storage expansion; maybe for you it's three C; someone else really wants DP, etc.
> Her job was as a fashion journalist.

The reason this doesn't excuse her for me, is that a journalist - of any type - is supposed to absorb events, place them in their context, and convey the result to a general public.

So she may have been hired as a fashion journalist, but this shows her to not rise above a fashion writer. That is, someone who produces stories, not someone who reports on events.

Or, to put it differently: I reject the notion that
fashion journalism is completely unrelated to other forms of journalism. These professions share a common core, and the actions discussed in this twitter thread show the person in question completely missing that core.

I remember learning in grade school that the founders were aware of the fact that in France, the politics of the Paris proletariat totally dominated french politics and the king was always afraid of uprisings, so they decided to put the capital in a backwater city to avoid unrest toppling the government.

Now that I’m looking for it, though, I cannot easily find evidence that that is true- I wonder why I was taught that?

I don't think it's unreasonable for an executive in the CISO position to advocate for better cybersecurity practices such as up-to-date software. If every executive exclusively worried about ROI, we'd have a bunch of CFOs running security teams.
Oh, no doubt they had lots of bright "promise" exemplified by the fists of virile men and fecund women reaching the mountain top having vanquished capitalist evil, triumphantly raising the hammer and sickle and little Ivan joins in the parade...

Unfortunately the OP is off by two orders of magnitude. Most VLSI EDA tool licenses start at about $100K per seat per year and go up from there.

If EDA tools were only $1K, we'd have lots of custom chips since a fab run in an old technology is actually $10K-$20K nowadays.
It's how I learned web development 20 something years ago. They have simple, clear, entry level tutorials on HTML, CSS, JS and a number of other languages that give you enough to become somewhat productive on the web, so you can be interested in deeper content. It's an institution.
it's Robert Graham. He's not a rando.
There's no overreach whatsoever and you can eliminate "there exists" altogether without any loss of expressivity.

"There exists a number X such that P(X) is true." is nothing more than a short hand for "It is false that for all numbers X, P(X) is false."

In other words, if you accept that it's possible to reason about "for all" then you must accept that it's possible to reason about "there exists" since all "there exists" does is assert that a property is not false for every number.
Decentralize the Internet with Locutus
Platform ABI typically specifies that libatomic must be dynamically linked, since otherwise libdl will misbehave. Lots of other common libraries including libpthreads, libm, libgfortran, libquadmath also are frequently linked (though commonly now are linked into libc.so for better system performance)
What are your thoughts on the commodity -> money -> commodity mode of exchange compared to the money -> commodity > money mode of exchange?

Alternative question, when the English moved to a system of tenant farmers while the French did not, was it necessarily the case that capitalism would need to arise in England and spread across the world?

There's plenty of very interesting economic and social topics that are covered by the likes of Marx, Gramsci, and Melksins Wood. I'd suggest not engaging with the discussion and calling it "perverse" is seeking a position of willful anti intellectualism. You might not agree with all the points, sure, but they are raised in good faith and backed by many many intellectual discussions over decades and decades.
The argument falls flat by paragraph 7 of this long rambling piece.

> But there’s no objective evidence of this, only the subjective opinion of Mudge that Twitter wasn’t doing enough for cybersecurity.

...

> specifically that they lied to investors and failed to live up to a 2014 FTC agreement to secure “private” data.

So is it subjective, or objective? Is the 2014 FTC agreement subjective?

And then he just starts pissing into the wind. "He said servers were out of date, but Ret Hat 7 is 8 years old but it's still receiving security patches but I'll just hand wave that away."

> Part of his complaint is that the now-CEO Parag Agrawal pressured him into lying to the board, to claim to the risk committee of the board that security is better than it really was.

...this is against the law.

"Of course Agrawal did. He’s supposed to do that."

This whole article is just rife with logical fallacies, incongruencies, and silliness.

> In contrast, Mudge’s complaint is full of the assertions that he’s objectively right, and Agrawal objectively wrong. And since it’s objective that he was wrong, Agrawal must’ve been lying.

The argument is that Agrawal intentionally misled shareholders. That's objectively wrong.

And, finally:

> What I read here in Mudge’s complaint aren’t the words of an executive, but the words of an activist.

The complaint was written as a whistleblower not as a CISO.
> But, how is having PRs open since 2019 a positive indication, and a productive one at that?

Simply because I looked at some other tools recently and their PR backlog was simply a graveyard. A 3 year backlog seems really good to me in comparison.
Something I've noticed pre-pandemic: infosec twitter's other personalities seem to have largely agreed to take Robert Graham's opinions with a grain of salt because they tend to fit the definition of "hot take" pretty closely. Not that impressions from "personalities" are how anyone should gauge the validity of someone's opinions, but my impression is likewise that he's mostly known for trolling.

I doubt the claim that it's a PR piece, but I don't doubt the idea that Robert wrote this to troll. It fits pretty closely, so it's probably best to look at it from a practical angle and not get worked up about it. No one even knows if Robert believes half of what he himself writes.

--

stated differently: he's the Armond White of InfoSec Twitter.

tl;dr: he's probably trolling.
HN comments have really gone down hill in quality. I'm quite sick of reading the same tired talking points you put up over and over.
Theres quite a few examples, it's a space where banks are trying to hold ground against fintechs, or they'll be forced to partner with them

One example i can think of right off the top of my head:

Interestingly, they raise the possibility of a global warming doomsday scenario from waste heat due to massive global energy usage. At first I thought this was comical as I'd never thought of waste heat as being any sort of a contributor to global warming, but apparently it contributes to about 1% of greenhouse warming: https://skepticalscience.com/Waste-heat-vs-greenhouse-warmin...
I looked into this option, but when I checked the FAQ of mrchromebox.tech it has the following:

Q: I want to buy a Chromebook to run Windows or Linux -- which should I buy?

A: Buying any modern (2017+) Chromebook with the intention of running Windows or Linux is a terrible idea, period. Most can't boot anything other than ChromeOS, and those that can run it poorly. Older models may fair better compatibility wise, but there are still lots of caveats, and it's not recommended to buy a Chromebook as a cheap Linux device. The days where Chromebooks ran Linux well ended with the 2015 models.

Also the "Supported Devices" part of the site suggests going here:
https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility
Which does not show anything working post 2019.

Am I missing something?
There's an enormous difference between total extinction, and civilization being wiped out; that's my whole point. You're trying to conflate the two, and they simply are not the same. For most of human history, there has been zero civilization, and certainly no "critical infrastructure". Humans can go back to that. It won't be pretty, but it is possible, and it's not like extinction.
There’s a section on aerodynamics that explains why for any vehicle but especially EV’s can benefit. They give an example that flat wheels improve a model S coefficient of drag by 12%.
Never even heard of libatomic, where is it specified that it's required to dynamically linked? I'm surprised to hear that.
It's because of mutually assured destruction. It's the same reason why there's a tacit agreement between enemy heads of state to not just assassinate each other. Doing so would just start a new world order that wouldn't be in anyone's interest. Sort of like nuking an enemy isn't a good idea either because of the retaliatory consequences it would necessarily cause.
I feel like a closer comparison would be Kyle, as in those "Kyle drinks monster and punch dry walls meme".
> In other words, in all likelihood, Twitter is ahead of the norm, ahead of the average, just not up to the same standard set by the leaders in tech.

Really? It came out Twitter doesn't have a dev/staging environment. Source: https://twitter.com/lauren_feiner/status/1569695337190944775 in the same thread, "Twitter can't assure regulators that it's able to delete all data at a user's request because it's unsure where all that data lives"

Earlier we have learned

> “Even a temporary but overlapping outage of a small number of datacenters would likely result in the service [Twitter] going offline for weeks, months, or permanently,” according to Zatko’s whistleblower disclosure. (Twitter has criticized Zatko and broadly defended itself against the allegations, saying the disclosure paints a “false narrative” of the company.)

Quoted in https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/12/tech/twitter-data-center-cali... just yesterday.

All in all, there's a picture here which says Twitter simply doesn't have a handle on its own infra any more, it can't replicate it for dev/staging purposes, it doesn't fully know where the data goes and if it crashed they couldn't rebuild it. You call that ahead of the norm?
