How Much is the U.S. Investing in Cyber (And is it Enough)?
Adding my bits of thesis history:

It took me about 10 months to even start working on it. I managed to blast through it by locking myself in the public library for 2 weeks. Most of the first week was screwing around anyway. Funnily enough, I accidentally submitted a rough draft as the final for my committee. They never read it anyways. The final draft has all kinds of errors and 'insert here' kinda stuff.

My SO had to do basically the same thing, only they procrastinated for ~2 and a half years because the grant was really really good. Their thesis is the only published place for some important things in the field, so it's actually been cited a few dozen times.

A friend of mine took about 14 months to get his thesis done. His description of it was: Imagine you're on a green grassy hill, curled up in the fetal position. And on another hill, just a little hill, there is a bar. You have to get over this bar. It's only 6 inches off the ground. So you look at the bar on the hill over there for months, still curled up in the fetal position. And eventually you kinda lump over at the other hill. And you hork, and sprot, and froll at the other hill. And eventually, crying the whole time, you kinda move at the other hill. You repeat this, in spurts mostly, until you kinda pour yourself over this tiny little bar on a green grassy hill. That's writing you thesis.

Just remember, no one except your SO and hopefully your advisor is ever going to read it anyways. Literally no one.
Nobody is saying reduce moonshot ideas to zero. There's a difference between "throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks" to having a risk/reward way of prioritizing what to fund. What you're alluding to is the "grow at all costs and find a way to be profitable later" strategy that is prevalent in SV, but tends to not work so well in real economic downturns. Sometimes I think people either forget, or are too young, to remember that the pre-2021 decade+ of near-zero interest rates are a historical anomaly.

Put differently, take a look at the R&D costs of google[1]. Note how, despite a constantly increasing amount of investment, they still derive 80% of their revenue from ads. Granted, some of the R&D will contribute to ads revenue, but it may also be indicative of a moonshot strategy that isn't contributing much in terms of "real growth" in alternative revenue streams.

The current JS one isn't as nice as the Elixir one, at least it wasn't when I tried using it via Babel a couple yrs ago.
Microsoft is surprisingly hard to kill. They do a little of everything, and internally act much less like one company and more like a conglomerate. This means there is more politics than needed, but also that the company can survive some pretty massive changes.
Microsoft isn't perfect, but it can probably survive even if they lost their top 3 revenue generators, which I'm not sure would be true for Google or Amazon...
Can you cite you or anyone making specific claims in 2020 or 2021 that the online growth rates are temporary and not a shift?
I was skeptical until mid 2021 when everything in person was opening again, but the shift to online frenzy wasn't slowing. I knew there would be some backsliding, but I thought there was a permanent shift for some people who realized online ordering, online activity is just easier. Some areas haven't backslid much at all (video meetings, WFH, online schooling, etc).
It lets a transpiler like Babel or Typescript use the new syntax and output the equivalent code that works on older browser.

Same reason async/await was useful far before there was native browser support - you could immediately use it in your codebase and compile to a legacy browser target.

I think that this has a way higher chance of being true than people have been assuming.

Yep! Any interaction counts. If something interacts with a photon, and that interaction can only happen if it goes through one of the two slits (i.e., it tells you "which way" the photon went), then the interference pattern will disappear.

> you can run out of numbers when using serial

Yes, that's why you use bigserial.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted, this is clearly correct. I still have many friends that I formed from working in the same office. For most American adults, the group you spend most of your time with is your coworkers. If you don't have a group hobby or activity outside of work, you have no mechanism to cycle new people in to your life in a setting which easily allows relationship building. There's a reason people who are a part of a church consistently say they're less lonely than people who aren't, and it's not a sense of faith.

I picked up Jiu Jitsu a few years ago and found that to be extremely effective when it comes to meeting people wherever I go. It's usually a stead group of people with other people rotating in, and doing collaborative activities together makes for quick friends.

I love remote work, and I take full advantage of it as a digital nomad, but we should have good faith discussions about the tradeoffs and how to mitigate it.

For sensitive information it should not be trivially guessable. Naturally, we need encryption and auth, but using not guessable identifiers multiplies the (already small) probability of successful attack by 1/2^128 so it is a good idea.
Here's the thing though, a paper clip optimizer would just be shut off, nothing "intelligent" is going to just make paper clips forever. Who or what will pay for the energy to do that?

Like what are we describing here, a super intelligent being which just makes paper clips? Why would anything that could understand, think and or innovate do that?
Deleting this because it misses the point. I am sad and disappointed. I am not trying to speculate.
Look i’m not taking a stance on this argument in general, but your statement that you can brute force a guid seems misguided. If you can brute force a guid url parameter you might as well just brute force the guid session token.
Many years ago, there was a court case here in the US over a fine for excessive average speed over a distance.

In the end, the case was decided on behalf of the driver, because the police couldn't prove that the car had not been picked up by a helicopter and moved at high speed through the air, and then put back down on the ground near the other end.

I think some laws are going to have to be passed here in the US to make it feasible to use average speed systems.

Which I think is actually a good thing. IMO, the police, or whatever system is issuing tickets, should have a minimum necessary amount of information they can prove in court, before they can issue those kinds of tickets.
In this oddly specific example: Only if you had every reason to expect things would change, didn't warn anyone, and felt the need to blame the market for your actions. In that case, technically, yes, I would consider that dishonest.

But: To whom did you owe honesty to when buying stock? I'm not sure you owed honesty to anyone there.

When you hire people, you're making decisions that have impacts on their lives and those of their families. In the case of companies like Google, they're impacting entire communities.

So I would say they have a moral (if not legal) obligation to be more transparent with their workers about their intentions. But you, in this stock situation, would not have any moral obligation whatsoever.
“The chairs and equipment are quickly pulled out and rearranged, and a boy -- conscious and without any obvious major injuries -- is strapped to a stretcher across the floor of the helicopter. I wedge myself back behind the pilot's seat and within 25 minutes from when the call came in, we've delivered him to the roof of the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek.”

An absolutely outrageous misuse of resources for a patient who did not need air evac. These flights aren’t cheap and the patient and family are billed. This isn’t one of those ignore and it will go away kind of medical bills either - it will be a charge from the city for $10,000+ and will absolutely go to collections.

There isn’t a trained air medic on board nor is there appropriate medical equipment to handle a patient who needs emergency life saving care and rapid delivery to a trauma 1 hospital. In other words, a patient who qualifies for emergency air evacuation.

Strapping a stable and visibly uninjured patient to a gurney and flying to the hospital isn’t helpful, it’s idiotic. We already have enough bullshit trauma 1 activations. There’s no need for more, much less ones delivered by bored traffic pilots.

> I don't think it's just devs, it seems like a broader "tech culture" or "startup culture" thing, where everyone acting like they're in some weird cult, fully devoted to their company is their entire personality.

For me, a Big Red Flag in job interviews is when a potential employer says "this place is a family."

I already have a family - I don't want to work somewhere where they expect that my entire life will be consumed by my employer because "we're family."
I’m as descriptivist as the next enlightened linguistic scholar, but this phrase has a specific meaning in traffic codes. Misunderstanding it is dangerous.
I heard there's often a group of people stopped right before the second camera having a smoke break and watching their phones, waiting for their average speed to drop to the legal limit. Or was someone pulling my leg?
There are university master degrees for UI/UX in the states?

Don't they have that everywhere? The Human Computer Interaction deparment at the (European) university I went have both Master and PhD students and do all kinds of UI and UX related research.
I couldn't possibly disagree with this comment more in a broad sense, in that -- oh, so you want a surefire literal step-by-step guide to consistently make money that stays relevant over centuries? That's fairytale thinking; you will never have that.

Now, why has this guide stayed popular despite apparently having "little value?" Probably because it actually does, just perhaps not in the precise way one believes they need right now.

Dependencies fit into this model, too. Presumably the dependencies build wherever they came from. Do that, package the output, and put it somewhere your project can use it in the suggested manner.
Camera size was great--I just wish they had old cameras, now that I don't shoot digital anymore.

One of the most useful for me is https://cycle-ergo.com . The fit and riding position of a motocycle is very personal--sport bikes lean you forward, adventure you stay upright, cruisers lean you back. But beyond that, can you reach the gound (and do you care), how much of a stretch are the pedals. The site is not perfect, but gives you an idea how you will fit before you have a chance to throw your leg over.
> If your complaints aren't heard by the police and city management, you sue the police and city management. Straight forward.

You think suing the police and city management are straightforward? That is an expensive and likely years-long process. If your problem is that you're losing a significant amount of business every day because of the presence of this woman, who is clearly breaking laws on a regular basis, then the reality is that a lawsuit against a city is likely to end in you going bankrupt before it even reaches a verdict.

How is that a straightforward solution? How is it any kind of a solution?

> We do this so that we don't descend into lawlessness.

If this guy is suffering serious harm because a woman is repeatedly breaking the law, why do you say his actions caused us to descend into lawlesness? Weren't we already there?
"Engineers over the age of 50 sent to a farm in upstate New York to live out the rest their days in peace"
The basic logic is nonsense, and scary, and quite authoritarian: Fight a bad warrant now and risk getting shot, or let them do potentially illegal things in your private space, take all your assets, and with a magical pile of money you have hidden away, fight it in court.
> I'm not saying that. I am saying that because the guy would refuse to leave and would physically block people from coming into the store.

The headline images shows the homeless person sitting beside a trashcan and a tree. That's blocking the door?

> I don't think you actually read any of the CBS article I linked given the insane assumptions you are immediately making that this person who you have never met is instantly in the wrong, with some of those assumptions being very obviously shown wrong in the article.

Please tell me what I've gotten wrong as outlined in the article, and also the insane assumption I have made.

< And on what grounds would you sue the police? That they aren't doing enough? Police do not legally have an obligation to protect anyone, or do anything for that matter. Also good luck suing the police when you have no money because you literally cannot get someone who is caring away customers to leave.

You can sue for damages with explanation in Civil court.
Thanks for the nice explanation. What are COBRA and H1B?

COBRA is specific to the US? Related to extend some sort of private health care coverage they had under the employer?

And H1B are for non-Americans who were allowed to stay on the condition of having an employer?

Could you clarify what the conditions are for california? How many months of salary is covered? How immediate is the effect of termination in terms of "pack your bags". Etc
Since I've rolled my own SSG, I wanted it to compile $FORMAT -> HTML directly, so I write fewer bugs :D

I chose Pandoc because it does a reasonably OK job compiling orgmode, _and_ has good support for other formats I use from time to time (e.g. markdown, ASCIIDOC).

Before this, I was using hugo, with a compile cycle similar to your setup, viz. org -> markdown (via ox-hugo), and then hugo did the md -> HTML thing. hugo sort of supports org -> html, but their batteries-included compiler is not very good. Points for trying, though.

While not a perfect solution to it, we use UUIDs throughout our application as IDs. But when we expose them in URLs or other places provide them as an encoded id (https://docs.crunchybridge.com/api-concepts/eid/). It at least makes them a little more compact, easier to copy/paste than UUIDs, and generally a cleaner look.
It is extremely weird. Certainly my experience when I did my PhD was not a great one. Combining someone who was not mature enough to self direct with a supervisor who didn't know how to manage was a terrible combination.

I managed to muddle through, and I did learn a lot over my time. But it's definitely ones of those situations that you back on and wonder what could have been achieved under different circumstances.

Edit - to be clear I did my PhD in the UK around 1993 - things are probably quite different now.
Agreed. If he wanted to have real firearms there, he needs to know how to operate real firearms. If he hired the armorer (or another person dedicated to firearms safety) to teach him how to do that, and they failed at that job, then the they should get their fair share of blame / repercussions. Which it sounds like they did, with a "negligent handling of a deadly weapon" or something.

Ultimately, though, as someone that is very familiar with guns, I have a hard time sympathizing with Baldwin. You brought real guns onto the set, and you pointed them at people. Primarily people that had no business having the guns pointed at them. It wasn't even another actor during filming, which I would have at least understood to some degree. It seems like the perfect storm of things had happened for him to "accidentally" kill this person he didn't like.

At the end of the day, any actors / set workers handling real firearms should have thorough training before using them. Trigger discipline, how to check the chamber, identifying cartridge types, emptying the chamber before setting it down, not aiming at people who aren't even actors...
How was obfuscating the enemy woke? The plot is way too simplistic for that to have made any difference.
My recruiter told me I had to fill out a pre-screening questionnaire. He said “I need all these answers to be NO at the end of this form if you want to join the military”

“So you want me to mark No for all the answers?”

“No. No. That’s not what I said. You should answer all questions with the proper answers. All I’m saying is I need these questions to be NO if we want to proceed”

I read between the lines and everything was no. When I went to MEPS, a processing stop where you get physically and mentally cleared to join, he told me to not admit to smoking weed. When we got into the room at MEPS, they said if you used drugs and we find out and you didn’t tell us, you can go to jail for 10 years, etc., so I raised my hand and told on myself. The whole drive home my recruiter was like “why didn’t you just say no?”

When I eventually got to my first command, an investigator came to speak with me about my pending clearance. She said they found some discrepancies, I told her the recruiting story. She asked if I’d be willing to take a polygraph. I initially accepted but then asked if I was required to. I wasn’t and if I didn’t want to do a polygraph I could instead do a sworn statement which I did. Eventually got my clearance but it took a long time.
Indeed. The argument of “nested calls are hard to read” is strange, because this looks terrible

Just pay for professionals because that's how you insure stakeholder buy-in for the project. Is this something donors expect you to be spending time on? Have the executive team green lighted the action? Budgets are always a bright line test.

If not, then there is a good chance a volunteer is wasting their time...and worse, you will be wasting a volunteers time simply by not valuing it. People smell that pretty quickly.

If you want professional work, hire professionals. Good luck.

The JS one does seem to have some more power than the Elixir one. For instance, in Elixir, if it's a bit kludgy to pipe to a second or third argument. I find this often when I want to insert into a map. You can always define more functions, but otherwise it's annoying, because you end up with something like

computation() |> &(Map.put(my_map, key, &1)).()

That said, with this less-power, you do kind of end up forced to design your functions in a way to where piping makes sense, and IMO it leads to cleaner and more consistent APIs.

I always thought it was an odd turn of phrase; at most, you might have your speed detected by aircraft. "Enforced" always conjured up a picture of speed demons being strafed from above until they slowed down; maybe it's just me?
> Google of 2008 didn't do this, I was there.

I lost touch with Google's internal culture around 2011-ish. What is your take? When did you think Google changed and what drove the change? How gradual was?
Thats not how PostgreSQL works. The primary key is only included in every secondary key for MySQL. PostgreSQL secondary indexes directly point at the page and rowid.
No, most polyglot codebases use Cargo. For something massive like Android that has gone so far as to implement its own build system, no third-party build system would be sufficient, so focusing on Cargo is irrelevant. The fact is, Cargo has always been deliberately and consciously designed to be merely an abstraction over rustc, specifically in order to accommodate opinionated users who would be better served by invoking rustc directly. They're following exactly the workflow that the Rust developers intended, because this saves the Cargo developers from having to perfectly anticipate every potential user's needs, which would be impossible. Rust does the right thing here.
That's an interesting point of view. It would make economical sense for big corps to act as a labor market cartel, and the fact that they are all laying off together is a suspicious coincidence.
AFAIK, the Oracle way is to store them as Number. The type is made just large enough for them.

But if you want to talk about Oracle's usability, there are much larger fish to fry. I wouldn't recommend anybody to use that database.

I think the more objectionable part of the comment is the assessment that nobody was endangered because the accident didn't materialize. "Empty road" is a mitigating circumstance, which is probably why the officer was nice. But it's certainly not a guarantee, the potential danger was there and the law was applied.

The law aims to discourage the behavior because someone who's riding a motorcycle at well over 100mph on a "remote and desolate" public road is likely to start riding too fast on less desolate roads too.
