You are correct, but to clarify, you are saying the value declined when adjusted for inflation. The DJIA average sat around 900 the about a decade, with the real value getting eaten away by the high inflation of the time.
My current and last company both did this. This is definitely a thing.

The nagging knowledge that no matter how thoroughly I secure my environment it is insecure by design at a base level.

Disabling Intel Management Engine is not a feature of the platforms that support it.

> Has anyone ever been hacked through IME vulnerabilities?

I could not say. Glad you at least acknowledge the vulnerabilities exist.

Edit since I can't reply to the post below:

It is not like being afraid to leave the house because a meteorite strike might kill me because staying at home does not afford protection from meteorites but using a system without Intel Management Engine does afford protection from its vulnerabilities.

I would say that your position is equivalent to saying "Why are you so upset about the skateboard on the staircase? People can fall down stairs without slipping on a skateboard and anyway as far as I know no one has slipped and fell on this skateboard yet."

"Just don't connect it to a public network, including the internet" (airgapping) is a solution to the vulnerabilities posed by Intel Management Engine but I expect most people who purchase computers featuring Intel Management Engine lack that understanding.
You shouldn't read those headlines. Both the ones walking you off a cliff in increasingly devious ways the interviews with Warren Buffett saying buy and hold which is a pessimal strategy, and the headlines announcing x happened because y as if you should think y leads x. It did not, they don't know that, news blogs get a pass in telling people false causes after the fact, dude it's purely made up and it's a guessing game to train you to guess as it suits them.

Long COVID is not a "new hypothetical disease" but a collection of various post COVID symptoms that have strong correlations (hi!) with pre-existing non-psychological conditions. The fact that these disparate health issues are grouped into this neat-sounding category is unfortunate I agree, but also is a consequence of you know, millions and millions of people with issues all at once.

I've never really gotten into audiobooks, but my pace of reading paper books has fallen off considerably lately, since I've fallen into a pattern of simply falling asleep when I pick up a book. My girlfriend loves audiobooks because she can "read" while doing chores or walking or whatever, and reads constantly. So I've been considering trying that out, and I have questions for you.

First, does this work very well for technical books? I would imagine not very well. Anytime you came across a code sample, a table of information or a diagram, I assume the audiobook rendition of it would be effectively useless. So perhaps the audio approach completely excludes technical reading?

Second, do you ever shake the feeling that having a book read to you is somehow qualitatively not as good as reading it from the page? I feel like seeing the written words on the page and the shapes of the sentences and the punctuation and having to interpret the tone and rhythm yourself is part of the experience of consuming literature. Does hearing it feel ... less to you? Is it the kind of thing that you just learn to get over, or does it stick with you? Or perhaps it was never an issue at all?
One night a few weeks ago I had my first ever UFO sighting. It was a pretty classic scenario of lights hanging in the sky and then suddenly accelerating far more quickly than I thought an airplane would be capable of. I live in the glide path of a medium size airport, so I see a lot of airplanes, and this thing was unlike anything I had seen before. I took out my phone and started recording. 20 seconds into the video, red and green lights appeared on my UFO, and I realized I was looking at an ordinary airplane. It was just flying at an unusual angle relative to where I was and there were a few low wispy, nearly invisible clouds that obscured the plane. I do believe in technologically advanced aliens, but I think they’re many light years away and not cruising around on our planet in their flying saucers.

I agree with the author, one thing great about these systems was having BASIC as a kind of systems programming language, with high level niceties, and a REPL.

Something that younger generations taught in the ways of C have no idea how it went.
> You are correct, but to clarify, you are saying the value declined when adjusted for inflation.

That's what I meant by "adjusting for inflation" and "65% decline". Apologies if that was worded confusingly.
A 65% drop in price over 17 years is "only" about 6% per year. The S&P500 annual dividend yield during 1966-1982 was not much less than 6%, especially during the latter half of that period.

If you look at an inflation-adjusted total return chart (as opposed to just price), the actual drop in investment value was much smaller. I think "flat" isn't a terrible way to describe it.

the point that no one generally knows your IBAN number or calls the customer service - reset this account by telling this is my new ID card as I lost my previous ID.

Further more how should the ID prove I am the owner for john.doe@gmail?
Yeah, but that defeats the purpose of creating the state in the first place.

The entire point is being able to tell people what to do for your own profit.

It's a lot easier if you pretend you are doing it for the subject's benefit as it reduces the resistance to rule immensely. But you don't want to let that go too far or they start getting a big head and start thinking that paying you billions of dollars is optional.

They have extremely misleading marketing, noting magnification of 150x for the Ultra lens, but that's "with digital zoom" (doesn't add pixels just scales them up like you'd do in Photoshop); the actual magnification is only 33x, which is trash, wouldn't call that microscopic at all. The paper microscope in the OP is actually 140x, much better. Even my toy microscope I got for birthday decades ago as a kid does 750x.

A Simple Diffusion Model
When I was around 12 years old, a group of 3 friends decided we wanted to create computer games on the 64 (and later 128). We started to learn about sprites and how to do rudimentary animations. Nearly every day after school we'd share some new thing we had learned the night before. We'd pool our knowledge. It was such an incredible time. Do you know what phrase I NEVER heard during those days? "What, you didn't know that?" I loved that collaborative feeling. If my friend was having a hard time understanding something, I just figured out a different way to explain it. It's such a far cry from the nonsense I see in the various software dev communities today. Perhaps it's because none of us felt like there was a competition between us.
TL;DR - nobody actually knows what the stock market is going to do, but everyone has a theory.

That's true. But like the parent poster, I'm likewise glad I had avoided using them.

What I hated about Uber and why I never ended up using it was that their app wanted so much info from my phone for no discernibly good reason. And Lyft didn't seem to be much better. I just wanted a ride man, I didn't want a 500 MB app that sucked all the data out of my phone and sent it to god knows where.

So I've just ended up calling taxis.

It's not that your data won't get compromised by someone else, it's just about mitigating the exposure.

I had a similar thought..

I figured the dynamic here is market gets a checkpoint where the acquirer has admitted they're moving into maturity and so switching from build to buy.

But my first check was MSFT acquisition of GutHub.. was up on the day. Nadella had been turning the ship for a while and MS was certainly looking revived by that point.

So, not always down. There are win-win acquisitions
It is an idea I hear often, but I don't think it will solve anything. The CEO will be the scapegoat, and may get paid better for the risk taken. So having a CEO scapegoat or a CSO scapegoat, same thing.

You have to realize that a CEO is just an employee. An important employee, but like any other employee, he is paid to do a job, and can be fired if his employers are not satisfied with his work.

If we want to punish the people who have the ultimate responsibility, that would be the shareholders. And it may include you if you have stock in that company. The CEO could also be punished as a shareholder (CEOs usually are), but not as a CEO unless he commit fraud against the shareholders.

We could imagine prison sentences for the most important shareholders, but really, financial sanctions are the most fair. Shareholders will lose money proportional to their share. And if the CEO really is the problem, shareholders will be very unhappy and he won't last long and may even get sued.

> this could happen to any company (yes, it could, even yours - don't try to convince me otherwise)

There's a lot of cognitive dissonance in discussion around this story IMO. Nowadays I assume everyone has been or will be pwned, because no breech surprises me anymore. Any small gap can and will be exploited, and as organisations grow the surface area only gets larger and larger. The only way to truly secure data is to not put it on the internet from the jump. For every breach that's published, there's likely a dozen that we never find out about.
We always prefer natural everything.

Don’t be dramatic.
I have a very similar type of mental burden to what you are describing. What I have discovered is that ultimately connecting it to a sense of identity, especially in a combative context vs. normies, is a losing battle that only increases anxiety. This is still the case even if it nominally seems like a logical choice to avoid unwarranted self-esteem issues in the face of culturally enforced social norms.

At the end of the day, when it's something as trivial as a Teams ping, the onus is on us to confront the anxiety and to work on our reactions. I sympathize with the author and see myself in him but it's not a part of me that would be good to enable.

Perhaps a clearer example would be someone who is afraid of swimming. It's a good idea for them to fight back against people who needlessly mock them for it. They shouldn't feel lesser for their struggles. But if they find themselves in a body of water, the Universe will not care one iota about the life history and mental world that prevented them from learning.

I completely agree with what you said.

However, there are applications where you just need high speed "bit banging", where you pretty much had to use an FPGA before.

I meant to mention RP2040 as an example, since I was talking about it's PIO feature, not because other microcontrollers do not have similar features, but because it's the most well known.

For example, RP2040 PIO is flexible and fast enough to run DVI/HDMI purely in software. Bit banging at 133 MHz (and even at 252 MHz overclocked, I'm sure there's no need for the do-not-use-in-production OC disclaimer).

I remember a summer vacation when we visited the Padmanabhapuram Palace - https://www.padmanabhapurampalace.org/ . It was a very hot day. But as soon as we entered the palace the cool atmosphere made us feel comfortable. Despite there being no electric fan or air conditioning, and not much noticeable breeze inside, the temperature was noticeably cooler. The elders in the family pointed out to us kids that it was because of the architecture and material used in building the palace. The memory and the ingenuity of it all stuck with me as a kid as I didn't understand how a building could be cool without fan or ac.

Leaving the Umbrella Behind
Inflation isn't high any more. July was 0% and August was 0.1%. The headline number looks at a 12 month window. Until the very high inflation months earlier this year drop out of that window the headline number will be high. But it does not look like prices are increasing much anymore.

All of the long term trends still point to low inflation like they did before Covid. Slow population growth, technology, and boomers aging out are strong forces keeping inflation in check. IMHO we are going to go back to worrying about deflation in the next 12 months or so.
Wasn't aware of this :) The problem is that this will sync files as-is without creating archives. Not sure how it's implemented internally, if they're using a single request per file this would get expensive quickly. In any case it will be much more expensive since each file costs a small extra amount for storage. Also curious whether they can handle auto restore during sync cloud -> local. Will give it a try.
> You don’t need to be into alt-righters to to know that freedom can only exist if we all have it.

More people need to understand this point.

Folks don't realize that we're easily corrupted by power and that sooner or later it will be abused.

It's not hard, for example, to imagine a future where Amazon and Google start labeling unions as extremist organizations and removing them from internet. That might sound far-fetched, but it would only take a handful of incidents of bad behavior by union members or organizations for tech companies to say, "Look, these organizations are inciting violence in their members."

Show HN: A Search Engine for the Tildeverse
The tildeverse is the name for a loose community of public access unix systems inspired by Paul Ford's famous tilde.club essay. These little communities are built up around shared access to a single unix system, utilizing its native multi-user properties almost as a retro social network.

Over time, the communities have grown and folks published handmade pages that have the vibe of the early WWW days. I built a search engine to let everyone find things on this quirky part of of the net.

It is no small feat that what is essentially pre-debugged C64 Basic psuedo-code, is yet dynamically illustrated quite nicely by bespoke javascript rather than a pulled-in browser c64 emulation module.
Besides the unusual errors in the displayed code, the lesson seems to flow nicely and I think may be great when "actualised" to actual c64 Basic. I only missed not being able to scroll the screen with arrow or space keys, mobile and mouse wielding readers may not notice that issue.
Certainly. Which is why people get very nervous when alt-righters insist on their freedom to deny freedom to other people.

Society is all about resolving conflicts of rights. One of those ways is that privately-owned infrastructure belongs to its owners, who get to say who gets to use it. I'm all for them deciding to use it to chuck off those who want to use it for the explicit purpose of harming others, which is fundamental to the alt-right program.

The bits and bytes of the Internet are a mishmash of private and public infrastructure, with no straightforward solution, but I'd agree that even hateful assholes deserve the ability to send and receive IP packets. But I have no problem with any private entities that refuse to help them do that.
From what I understand, the border is a sort of wild west in terms of citizens rights and lack there of. As usual with those seeking power and greed, boundary conditions that are not clearly defined are optimized around for their goals. Where do your rights begin and end as a US citizen? That's ignoring all the giant carve aways in your rights when it comes to reentry.

Much of it's quite silly in the era of technology and current society scales anyways where most the nonsense they could be concerned about being on your personal phone in terms of data can be conducted right inside the border without ever leaving. So the excuses for cloning phones and archiving data outside of another loophole that let's them spy on US citizens are pretty limited. Anything on your phone they could be concerned about can be archived, encrypted, and tucked away somewhere on the internet that's far less tracable. So what information do you really need? Outside of the really stupid criminals (who will eventually learn to be more sophisticated and evade these approaches), what do you expect to catch?

Preventing this practice should be a no brainer.
