They represent minority of workers. So, it should be allowlist approach where only few people can access Twitter, Tiktok, Facebook etc.. All other employee app installation must be disabled, if it is really privacy and "national security concern".
It's unfair to ourselves we let foreign companies prone to be used as government spionage tools to be in American app markets.
This pushed me to move my Bitwarden data to a self-hosted Vaultwarden instance tonight.

At this point I just don't want my data in the big, juicy hacking target.
sure, but why would all government employees need access to social media by default?
This video showing the atrocious build quality in a new Plaid was making the rounds a while ago. It's not the only one of its type but I think it had unusually high distribution: https://youtube.com/shorts/_PbBkY6rfrI

I wouldn't be surprised if it was solely responsible for turning off thousands of buyers. Sure did for me.
Would be nice to get a box and manual like the good old days.
That's just it, there is no need whatsoever to "stay current" unless you are unhappy with the capacity of the tapes. For multiple generations now, that has been the only difference. The last major feature was slightly better compression followed by LTFS, and that came out on LTO 5 and 6… In 2010 and 2012.
I think it's a "yes, and..." because it's conceivable that the alert itself could fail to notify pilots for some reason. So the pilots shouldn't rely on the automation to work 100% of the time, nor that the system will alert them to a problem with 100% accuracy.

So it's both correct to recommend that the Boeing 777 try to alert the pilots to the misconfiguration, and to reinforce pilot behavior to reduce the risk of being in a position where that misconfiguration happens.
The reply you are replying to isn't making an argument regarding government paternalism, but regarding economic protectionism. You aren't addressing that. An analogy: embargos against countries that do not adhere to international IP treaties.
"Sure you save some lives but how many will be late!" I do not like this math. For example the accident may not be once per century. And it is good for the bureaucracy to be risk adverse if it comes to my life.

The answer is that they should improve the technology so that the system is safe and faster.
"Target behavior instead of apps" seems like such a massive regulatory hurdle that it's meaningless. How would you even write such a sweeping law and get it passed? How long would it take?

I think this crowd knows it's impossible so they get to sound smart while nothing changes the status quo and TikTok still avoids a ban.
I don't understand, how does the popularity of CMake benefit you when using it as a build system? Because from my experience, they have gone out of their way to break any sort of network effects. Most recently they added the whole "wholly new target based CMake" stuff and now the entire ecosystem is split into two and declaring any CMake version except the exact one you are using as compatible a full crap shoot. That's strike 2 after never integrating with pkgconfig and instead having you write shitty FindFoo files for everything.
So you’re saying freedom of speech is dangerous and should be curtailed? The same thing is happening locally.

I agree that 5 hours is marginal, especially if you have a large airport on both ends (It takes me 10 minutes to get to the small airport here and there is ~1 smallish flight being screened at a time, so there is no need to be particularly early).

I didn't state it very clearly, but I'm comparing the TSA screening to the 4-5 additional hours driving would entail over flying.

Seems very likely, it's now known (maybe always was) that metadata fields aren't encrypted. If Twitter poster added those keys to a 'metadata field's then they were clear text.

I know Dropbox isn't added security, my question is why Dropbox losing the vault wouldn't be just as bad and as likely as Bitwarden losing the vault?

Another reply indicates that the main thing is that you don't have to trust the cloud service to do the encryption and zero-knowledge stuff right.
This isn't about parenting our citizens, it's about forcing China to pass laws Americans want. If you want American market access you give Americans access to the Chinese market.
> Doesn’t sound like an issue to me. Anyone tracking or profiling is inherently unfriendly, regardless of national origin. Ban the lot.

I think that's somewhat strained. "Tracking or profiling" for the purpose of advertising when applied generically to all users in a reasonably anonymized way is... simply not in the same class as "tracking or profiling"[1] applied to target specific journalists in order to suppress coverage of inconvenient newsworthy facts. It's just not. Not remotely.

TikTok got caught doing something way beyond the pale. And at this point[2] I think it's very reasonable for people to view their future behavior as inherently suspect. As a large actor, I can have very little trust in ByteDance's future behavior. But Facebook and Google and Amazon... quite frankly they've proven pretty trustworthy with the same kind of data so far. I think continued trust isn't unwarranted.

[1] The more common term of art in this context is generally "espionage"

[2] Until last week, I was absolutely in the "let them sell their app, they have the same rights anyone does" camp. But now? Sorry, they burned the bridge. You don't get three strikes once you're caught spying.
This is wrong. It should be up to individual to decide what they should watch and what they shouldn't. There is difference between US government and CCP.

With your logic, EU and all other government should ban facebook, twitter as there is high probability that US companies supplies data to 3 letter companies.

What is need is good rules and regulations that applies to all companies equally. We live in globalized world.

Yes. As I noted in another comment, the RISC-V port is basically "fully functional" and only lacks software (HaikuPorts is set up to build on it, but we haven't yet created binary package repositories for RISC-V.) I know at least one Haiku developer has a HiFive Unmatched and it runs Haiku pretty well.
And so does sending your passwords to a phone or a home/work pc via chats or email, or using a single password everywhere, or maybe a couple of them with trivial variations. Cloud password managers wouldn’t even exist if people didn’t do much more stupid things to enter their passwords on a different device than the cloud could ever think of.
So I know this comment will get buried, but I NEED to point this out.

ChatGPT is built by OpenAI. OpenAI likely one of the most evil companies you will ever hear about. Look up AI Dungeon. Dig in a little bit to THAT fiasco. HINT: It was so bad, they actually managed to spawn and fund an upbeat competitor (NovelAI).

Even if OpenAI had done nothing wrong, most of us monitoring the 'AI' space know that this is simply 'Alice 3.0'. AI models can't innovate, so they will always be behind humans. AI models are trained on human data and models. If you solve that problem (creating an AI model that can REALLY innovate), you may actually be smarter than Einstein. Good luck.

EDIT: not defending Google at all either, because if I could wish for a single company to die it would be Google due to their data collection practices. However, well, read the AI Dungeon stuff....

I've got platinum on united, and companion pass on SWA. I can tell you YES status is worth it. it's not really about the early boarding, or free bagage, or that BS. It's about being able to call up the airline, outside of my company's travel service, and just tell them what I want and they do it.

Also, all those doubling of miles and other perks allow me to get upgrades for free so when I do have flights I really need to sleep on I can take first class.

Get an iPad. I made the mistake of buying one a year or so ago and it completely replaced my personal laptop. It’s basically a massive battery, so it lasts all day and then some.

Having an ocean of interpretation in between reality<->process won’t necessarily stop a proposed set of laws from becoming policy. Unless, you know, there’s time to consider such factors.

When it fails you just say it wasn’t interpreted properly and what’s important is that it was well intentioned. “There was [bad guy] or [bad thing] so we didn’t have time to figure out the details” (repackage and repeat x1000).

4K page mega bills have zero incentives not to do this as often as possible. And you can be sure Reddit/Twitter/media will be full of cheerleaders in the early days defending it and those challenging it can be called out as mere supporters of [bad guy/bad thing] acting in bad faith. It’s almost a perfect recipe.
This case was perfectly reliable automation. The automated systems behaved exactly as designed.

The point of the article isn't that the automation just needs to be made more reliable and that will solve the problem, it's that systems like this are becoming too complicated to understand all aspects about how they work.

You would have thought overriding the TOGA switches should have sounded an immediate alarm though. It seems perfectly reasonable that a very dangerous command or input would be inhibited by the automatic systems, but it seems completely crazy that any command or input would ever be inhibited silently. I'm actually flabbergasted that this is not a fundamental rule of aircraft control systems design at Boeing.
I don’t think it’s rational. It’s natural and engrained in your monkey brain, and then your rational brain says “I’m rational and I fear it therefore it must be rational to fear it”.
My assumption is because it was developed by a Russian, and someone in the US government is worried that the communications or e2ee could be compromised by another nation.

ChatGPT: The Future of Attribution?
This isn't about parenting our citizens, it's about protecting America business from unfair foreign competition. China is a massive market they get exclusive access to that gives them a huge advantage. For example, they can afford to not run as many ads as American companies. Our free market is only available to other free markets.
We should treat the banning of our internet companies by foreign nations that same as banning imports of goods.
Doesn't that make your passwords predictable? If you use the same secret for every domain and now if an attacker figures out your one secret then they would be able to find out all your passwords.
I don’t disagree with what you’re saying but want to add that phones are good enough for journalism and reporting (whereas previously photojournalists were often identified by their Leicas).
We aren't China. If we became like China, it would be very sad.
Yeah I don’t think they are trying any more. I received a Google search result the other day that was a word for word copy of a SO answer - it even had “stack overflow” in the page title. The spammers weren’t even trying to hide the fact.

Nevertheless, the result ranked a couple of lines higher than the SO article it was a copy of. I mean, come on.

That tiny amount of crypto is going to be worth a fortune someday!
I wonder if it’s some combination of access + exposure + hubris. When you are raised by well-off professors who also happen to be players in the political sphere, phrases like “well, that’s just not for us kiddo” or “happiness is when you learn to accept your place in life” are probably not heard at the dinner table. And if you hit a special kind of streak of never encountering real failure, hubris gain can be massive.
I largely agree with you, however it may also be the case that the attackers have been working on cracking vaults quietly since the hack and the announcement made them go after everything they had cracked so far instead of continuing to work quietly. They might have decided the crackable vaults don’t rotate credentials within them often, but it becomes much more likely after the announcement.

If OP's subway carried 80k people per day (and I guess this could be conservative), and they are all delayed 15 minutes, the overall wasted time equals 1 lifetime per month.

I'm all for improving the technology, but in the meantime the math should absolutely be done, at least to ensure the temporary fix isn't worse than the problem.
While this could be what happened, I suspect otherwise.

For many years, those of us in the cryptocurrency fields have said never enter your keys on a computer. Generate them offline on a hardware device and let that be it. The person making this claim clearly had to enter unencrypted keys into a computer to put them into his laspass vault. There are a number of malware variants that specifically target keys and search things like input fields in web forms and clipboards for those keys.
Lifetimes aren't composed of tiny time slices of many people.
When buying a business you often pay for goodwill which is very hard to value and can be substantial portion of the price. There often are other factors, such as leases, existing staff, etc. You really need to do considerable due diligence to know what you are buying. The vendor's reasons for selling are a critical consideration as well.

Of course, if you can see how the business can be improved it could be a fast track to profits compared to starting from scratch.
I think he does talk about the difficulties in starting/running a drop shipping store in some of his vids. But I do agree, it add any cred that he's still trying to sell a "dropshipping course".

Dantzig was the guy who showed up late to statistics class one day, saw some problems on the blackboard, wrote them down, and turned in the solutions a couple weeks later apologizing for the lateness and saying that that week's assignment seemed harder than usual. No George, that wasn't a homework assignment, those were examples of then-currently unsolved problems in that particular topic. The professor showed up at Dantzig's house on a Sunday morning asking Dantzig to sign the paper so it could be sent off for publication. That was the first moment that Dantzig had any inkling that it wasn't the regular course homework. A true legend.

Some of my education in this is from a book called Inside the Machine which I really enjoyed. I noticed I was able to easily understand the earlier architectures but at some point they got really complex and I didn’t find it accessible. I took a look at amd64 and it was like.. haha no. I’m sure I could learn it if I was spending every day with that layer but I’m not.
From what I’ve seen of RISC I’m hopeful I can retain it even going long intervals without looking at it.

There is always the risk of an attacker infiltrating the company to write vulnerabilities or a government forcing the cloud provider to write malicious code in order to degrade security. That's what the U.S. government almost succeeded at forcing Apple to do in the wake of the San Bernardino case.

A local vault is better than a cloud vault, but if that local vault software is written by a commercial company there's still that risk.
Life can't be reduced to (productive) time like this. At least I find this take very sad.
Fair enough.

It was a support request, and IIRC they disabled it remotely.
In theory, the master password is never supposed to leave your device even with the cloud-based password managers. So, yes, you're trusting that their clients do what they say they do, and I suppose an attacker could hijack the client and offload your password.

That said, the same risk applies to any client you use. Someone could have compromised the latest update of KeePassX as readily as they can compromise LastPass's client. If you don't have automatic updates then that's helpful, but I'm not sure it's producing enough security to be worth the extra hassle.
>Shit, if that was a real concern you would have to be a complete idiot to use LastPass in the first place.

What are you even talking about? Of course it's a real concern. That exact kind of thing happens constantly. And of course, the nature of the concern here involves us not knowing that LastPass was fucking up. LastPass might not even know. It's not like companies regularly announce in public, "hey, customers! We're actually massive fuckups, we know it, we haven't fixed it, and we just thought you'd like to know!"

The database is encrypted when at rest; i.e., no plaintext is stored on Dropbox. Assuming your master password is decent, you could plaster the database on a billboard and it would be safe. LastPass, on the other hand, encrypts some information (the actual passwords). The URLs and other sensitive information is stored in plaintext in the cloud. [Final edit. I swear.] As you note, as long as the entire blob is encrypted it doesn't really matter how it's replicated; BitWarden's one-stop-shopping can certainly be more convienent.

Right, this is a huge problem. Wikipedia does not stick to purely scientific topics this pages become hotly debated and political. This isn’t a partisan thing, you can find examples going both ways, but since Wikipedia is not a telling of sourced facts[1] and can not be expected to cover all topics elaborately it has inadvertently controlled the flow of peoples understanding and id say even interests.
