Alright, sure. But you need to prove negligence. It's impossible to write perfect code right? You really have to prove whatever breach/error happened wasn't on purpose and wasn't due to gross negligence.

+1, this would have been super to me too when buying a car with the constraint of having a tiny garage with a weird shape.

What I really wanted was a tool that lets me draw the plan of the garage and then tells me if I'll be able to park my car, and the margin (min offset to wall during the whole maneuver).

I couldn't find that at the time sadly.
I’ve been wanting this sort of business model to take off for the last ten years. I hope this works out for them.
I don't see anything in your link to claim that the famine was intentionally inflicted.

For a country trying to rapidly industrialize, redirecting available labour from farming to factories and hoping that your productivity increases will make up for the reduced labour supply seems like it could be a good faith best effort to uplift the lives of as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Sitting back and letting the economy continue to be agrarian means passively killing many people through lack of access to medicines etc..

I will say, based on purely anecdotal experience, the story could be plausible (although maybe not a personal order from Stalin).

My wife was born in the USSR just before its collapse and grew up in a post-Soviet country. Her family was pretty poor, and they didn't get their first car until the late 90s. My wife was a young girl then, so only has vague memories of needing to hitchhike to grandma's, but that means her parents went almost 40 years without a car. And their story is not unique. Pretty crazy.

Last major T-mobile hack was 2 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28202399

Already had to freeze my credit reports because of last time, this new breach is ridiculous.
I'm going to need more than that as when I checked yesterday it was only felonies and what most people would think are actually serious crimes that were counted as strikes. The closest I could find to a "minor" crime was Rummel v. Estelle[1] where the offences totalled $230 of fraud, but the offences were felony fraud, so I couldn't find any sympathy for said fraudster, it actually reduced any possible sympathy - if you're going to do something that risky it should be for a big reward.

No, that's impossible. No one would want to start a business, ever if you could just be wiped out because some vendor's vendor fucked up. If you want that, then we need like a free tax funded federal MSP.
It is all PII. At the same time, all of this is often readily available for free from local government websites — this data and more are present for anyone who registers to vote in Seattle (maybe King County?), in a downloadable spreadsheet.

I hate that this information is out there. For most of us it’s one in a series of unwanted disclosures. I care and disapprove on principle but I don’t think I’m compromised any more than I already am.

Hah, indeed. As a side note, foreign nationals can likely determine their no fly list status from the Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctions programs list. I put together an excel workbook of that data (shared link below [0]); it contains OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list (SDN), and non-SDN sanctions consolidated set. OFAC sanctions lists can be directly searched [1] and accessed via ftp [2]. In the excel workbook I shared below it's interesting to web search the entities listed as "CYBER" (see the sdn_cyber tab).

Everything short of perfect security involves cutting corners - if nowhere else, then in the dimension of time.

Mostly we call those trade offs, with this huge gray area where we argue about whether something is a trade off or unreasonably cutting corners.

Again, these are difficult problems to address. The social aspect of getting humans to agree on something like this is hard.
The US number is also artificially inflated by their unusual healthcare system - in most developed countries healthcare is paid for from taxes or mandatory insurance (which is deducted from that measure), whereas in the US it's considered to be paid from disposable income.

Imagine a world where all software is written using formal methods [1], that would be heaven.

I don't know. When you look at the early days at companies like Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Google, (even all these companies in the mid 2000s) they were absolutely about making money but by truly moving their industries forward by inventing new things at every level.

And they attracted truly world class talent in spades. But now most of these companies (save for maybe SpaceX) are so big that they must have tons of bozos that just want to move profits higher, keep the lights on, and get better performance reviews.

And many of those extremely talented people that moved things forward either retired, or do the revolving door of doing a startup, getting acquired, leaving, doing another startup, getting acquired, or became angel investors while they just chill.

Engineers like Paul Buchheit, Bret Taylor, Joe Hewitt... the brothers that did Google Wave and Google Maps.

Nobody is blaming them for where they are now, they've earned it.

I am just saying that I don't know where the equivalents of today are. Please, please tell me they aren't all working on some crypto ponzi bullshit.

> To build on your example, while it's true that that Lewis Hamilton isn't driving 10 times faster, he has 103 F1 wins while to the average pro driver has zero.

Right, I'm not arguing (and I don't think anyone is arguing) that superstars don't exist in every field.

It's the "10x" part that is an annoying exageration. Nobody is an order of magnitue faster/better than other professionals in their field.

But you don't need to be 10x better to be a superstar. Being 1.01x better will do if you can keep it up consistently. That's enough to be always ahead and, except for the occasional error, most often win. It'll get you that 103:0 win ratio.

The consistency is the hard part. Anyone reasonably competent can be 1.01x faster here and there. To be the superstar it's not from being massively faster (as it's not humanly possibly), it's mostly from being very consistent at that 1.01x level.
The only thing I can say is that:

1. It has come a long way. iTunes really was a horrible piece of shit software for many years. It is much much much better now.

2. There isn't any viable alternatives. I don't care what people say, I've tried them all.

IMO there's two bigger issues that really prevent anyone from competing and improving the status quo:

a. You need to be friends with the music industry to be in this field, and to retain this friendship there's a lot of things you just can't do. Imagine if something like these flash widgets that you could embed in your website to stream your favorite playlists could still exist.

b. The Apple ecosystem is preventing a lot of people (I believe a majority of phones are iPhones in the US) from moving to competitors and improve competition.
I just listened to episode 2 of the Masters of Tech Podcast! In the episode, the host and CTO of Remotebase, Talha Masood, was joined by Bryan Conneely, Director of Engineering at Sustain.Life, a company that helps businesses fight climate change. You’ll get to hear meaningful discussions about the challenges and opportunities of building a sustainable business, as well as Bryan's work at Sustain.Life.

It’s a very interesting and enlightening discussion so i thought i’d share it with everyone.

Most (80% was the number I saw) large bunker-oil engines with scrubbers installed simply dump the removed sulphides into the sea as wastewater instead of venting it into the atmosphere. Not to mention the colossal amounts of carbon-related pollutants.

Solvable problems via a retrofit to be sure, but overall I'd rather than the HFO's are simply not burned at all.
Yeah but what's the likelihood that an order like that by Stalin would be documented so explicitly if at all? What one would want to corroborate is the "the main reaction", which I presume to be the general public reaction, which back in those times would more likely be word of mouth, especially in such an information suppressing society?

I agree that unless C-level faces jail time, this will keep on happening.

But serious security could hamper business growth and in the end shareholder value - not security nor morality - counts.

In a capitalist world information security lapses is just the cost of doing business.
Good, the whole point is that if you aren't willing to take responsibility for the information you are storing, you shouldn't be storing it. So businesses without the will to do that will shut down, the rest will be more hardened, or less willing to stored data they don't actually need.
Which is ridiculous. Why would clear communication like that hurt their business?

Because that would lead to more customer outrage than this? What a ridiculous point we've reached as a society if we can't take clear communication and we give incentives to lie to us.
Why do you keep saying "he"? It's pretty easy to respect people's pronouns...
Even then, there's still some sustaining engineering required to maintain a design and keep it relevant. The (e)Z80s that are being made today aren't the same as the ones that were being built in the 1980s -- they're being extended with new peripherals and ported to modern fabrication technology.

I'm fairly certain that hasn't been happening with the ColdFire series. Every ColdFire part I see listed on NXP's site is from 2010 or earlier, before the Freescale acquisition. This puts a lot of those parts 2/3 or more of their way through their 15-year availability commitment; if NXP intended to keep the line alive, I'd expect to see a lot more new parts, and that isn't evident here.

(MIPS is a weird one to mention because MIPS Technologies actually declared it dead last year and started trying to rebrand themselves as a RISC-V IP core provider. The main niche that architecture was used in was wireless routers, but that's been taken over pretty thoroughly by ARM these days.)

Don't get me wrong -- I cut my teeth on 68k and I loved the architecture. But it's also clear to me that it doesn't have a future.
The polygraph is 100% pseudoscience - at best it's a prop to make interrogating people that don't know it's fake easier because they believe the interrogator can read their mind, but it falls apart when the person being taken knows that it's woo. So we shouldn't really use technical/scientific terms like "calibration" when talking about it...
Never used T-Mobile, yet the last T-Mobile breach, I received a postcard from them offering me credit security services because they leaked my information. Turns out that data was from the early 2000's when cell phone store employee checked to see what services I can apply for... WTF!
Ah! I’m not equipped to answer that, unfortunately. Would be interested to know, also. I certainly opened up a can of words replying to you.

Edit: I suspect the answer differs from person to person.
I agree. unless the one who stole the data comes and lays out the exact preventable vulnerability they exploited, this is just going to result in businesses paying through the roof for fake assurances of security from middlemen, indirectly passing the cost on to consumers/society.

Your link shows that Southland is significantly colder than France for much of the year. No, the winters don't get freezing cold; it's not Iceland. But it never gets very hot either. Overall, it's colder than Western Europe.

Comparing "New Zealand as a whole" doesn't make any sense; the differences in the country are too large. It's like drawing conclusions about the climate of one state based on the United States as a whole (and even within some states there can be pretty large differences).

In my experience the greycats of the world tend to have pretty high false positive rates.

They'll identify people asking X-Y problems and steer them in the right direction, but they'll also be deliberately unhelpful and snarky to a lot of people asking perfectly reasonably questions.

There's another persona similar to greycat who loves to tell people the answer to their question is in the docs and refuse to help. The answer probably is in the docs, but the docs are 500 pages long and the person asking the question doesn't know the right keyword to search for to find the answer, and the answer in the documentation is probably ambiguous or unclear to a beginner even if they did find it.

There's also the persona that identifies the askers problem, and knows the answer but thinks they can teach the asker a lesson by guiding them towards working out the answer on their own. This can be a great approach, but often the person doing this doesn't realize that there's some crucial piece of information that the asker doesn't have that means it's going to be impossible for them to make the logical leap required to get to the answer on their own. From the askers perspective it feels like they're getting Jedi training from Yoda, except Yoda has had a few too many swamp beers.
I think the economic gap between the US and USSR in the late 1940s had more to do with the czars and distance from northwestern Europe than the Nazis or Communists. Russia was very far behind the industrial countries before the revolution, and remained so thereafter.

If anything, the Soviet modernization efforts accelerated what would have been possible under the czars. Because of Soviet growth during the Great Depression, communism was seen by many in the industrial world as a viable alternative during the 1930s.

Command economies are great at catching up (just ask Park Chung-hee) and terrible at expanding the economic frontier. Not a fan of command economies by any means, but history is more nuanced.
Pretty much all the things I've scheduled otherwise, but at a much faster pace:

- Read textbooks cover-to-cover, which is difficult to prioritize otherwise.

- Catch up on my videogame backlog, do re-runs on my favorite games + aim for 100% completion

- Finish my reading list

- Clean my browser bookmarks + make a plan of action for those worth keeping

- Start my own content pipelines: Youtube, Twitter, blog, etc

- Brush-up my coding skills - solve problems, revisit theory

- Dig up the project ideas I jotted down casually - build one

- Practice silence, calm down the chaos in my mind

- Reduce my internet footprint: delete past data, update privacy settings

- Reduce cloud data - either consume+delete, or self-host on a home server

- Make conscious efforts to socialize - move out often, talk to strangers

- Setup a fitness regime, build the momentum at home followed by a gym schedule

80% now, 20% months later? Reminds me of Fractional Reserve Banking, where USA federal banks could invest 90% of deposited money, leaving only 10% of your savings "in savings".
