The issue is one of margin calling, and other institutions being unwilling to lend you infinite amounts of money.

Even if your investment strategy is sound, if in the short term, you on paper owe stock that is "worth" billions of dollars, the institutions that you are owning this paper billions of dollars too, could be unwilling to just trust that you will be able to pay it.

Thus, they bake in contractual provisions, such as margin calls, which require you to automatically sell/buy the stock back, if you ever reach certain loss limits. Thus, forcing you to accept the loss now, even if your long term strategy is hypothetically profitable.

Or, at least that is the simplest/most common ways that this work. I am sure that margin calls are more complicated than that, for large financial institutions.
It was a good opportunity for me since I had nothing much to offer most employers. It was between that or unemployed.
It's so much of a problem that most PC games make you install a rootkit, you mean?

One of the big ones (Valorant) requires a rootkit that actively disables running unrecognized software, specifically to stop you from cheating.
I never got the big appeal of Wirth languages. When they weren't just vanilla Algol derivatives, they were making a virtue out of a performance hack (enforced define-before-use to enable single-pass compilers) or relying on non-standard variants (Turbo Pascal/Delphi) to claim that uninspiring base languages were competitive.

As an aside, Oberon-2 isn't a C++ alternative because it apparently has mandatory garbage collection, which isn't acceptable to C++ programmers now (which is why they're going to Rust instead of Go) and damned well wasn't acceptable to them in 1997, else they would have moved to Java.
You can operate that device in vacuum grade gloves.

I read that the feeling of needing to breathe is actually triggered by CO2 buildup, not oxygen deprivation. So if you breathe pure N2O, you might lose that warning that you need to breathe oxygen. When I played with N2O, I noticed that the high was more intense if I rebreathed or otherwise deprived myself of oxygen. And it also would cause cognitive issues in the weeks after taking it, probably due to oxygen deprivation. I stopped taking N2O after that.
Unlike the normies, who ask for each other's Insta? Don't get me wrong, losing SMS support is the wrong direction, imo, but its just a different platform, no need to get so judgemental about who uses it.
Obviously you realize that investing in stocks is risky. Risk is the flip side of making investment gains. Anyone who invests in stocks takes a risk that it tanks.

No risk => no gains
Yep, it’s worth repeating.

Although I’d spin the issue about host vs network security differently. I’ve found that engineering teams prioritize security a lot more if they don’t feel like they’re safe in a cocoon of local network bliss behind network firewalls. I love “beyond corp” or “zero trust” precisely because you’re making it explicit that they’re on the internet and they’re a target.
Windows 11 "optional" telemetry collects the IP address, hardware address of any networked devices plus any networked drives that it finds. It also scans for bluetooth devices and sends that data back.

Why do they need this data? I don't know.
Sure. Flight Simulator X came out around 2006 and at max settings looked great. Current FS is obviously better, but FSX was adequate.
You can’t be a non-engineering contributor to webkit and a reviewer.

Basically: how can you be an effective reviewer if you aren’t able to write the code as well?

I’m unsure of any project that has otherwise uninvolved folk who are reviewers, and can’t imagine where that would make sense?
That's called technocracy, and I'm all for it.

Nobody has ever found a better way. What you're willing to pay for something determines its value to you.
Lots of stuff isn't. They don't let you delete your account or delete old comments.
He clearly does elsewhere, so I would suggest reading this more charitably with the assumption that you’re talking about the same idea from different perspectives. If I’m the passenger, I don’t even know about something which is caught by a checklist or redundant hardware before it progresses. If I’m the pilot or mechanic, the reverse is true. In both cases, what matters is the spirit of the point: saying something is too infrequent to prevent is defeatist.
yeah even if they are wrapping with near noop guards all over the ast/codebase as its being compiled and the secret sauce is just to tickle the guard to log at those specific points dynamically you would think this would have huge overheads for the no log states as those guards get bypassed for hot code blocks. (kind of like running in a debugger env).

They note that this is patented -- I wonder how. Every way I can imagine this being implemented in the languages they support seems to be clearly prior well known art. Patent office granting more "RED -- we own compressing raw" type patents?

Looking at the patent seems like they are monkey patching either dynamically or into ast injected nodes at compile time. what the heck is the PO doing. also who in their right mind would open their prod services to an external party for code injection lol.
7% layoffs and a few executive promotions.
They would still have to know which side of the grounds they are on to charge that tax anyway. It seems like poor excuses to me.
Ask HN: Are vapor ebooks a thing now?
I just read 3 e-books in a row from different authors that all left me hanging at the end. All were really good, but all were "Book 1" from a "series" and "Book 2" is not available yet. So is this a trend now? The author will write it if he gets enough pre-orders? Now I know better to check, but drip, drip, drip, books are now a subscription?
This reminds me of the old land line "touch tone fee" you'd pay for touch tone service, even long after nearly everybody had migrated away from the original pulse dialing. Not only did the phone company charge for it long after they really needed to, but you had no assurance the fee was really going to pay for that particular part of the service you were getting.

This is one of the big problems with these add-on fees: they claim to be for one service, but there's nothing preventing the company from using the money for something else entirely.
The 80186 already added dedicated logic for address computation, as well as multiply/divide and repeated shift/rotate (no barrel shifter, but only one cycle for each shifted bit instead of several as on the 8086). It also had the extended instructions, except for those related to protected mode.

However the microcode format remained essentially the same[1], so I don't think there was a fundamental redesign in either the EU or BIU.

The '286 is different, and not just in the BIU (which now has to enforce segment limits etc). From what I've pieced together looking at die shots, and US patent 4442484:

There are three 6-bit fields to select registers for each micro-instruction. ALU operations can apparently take any register as operand, only immediate values have to be first loaded into a temporary register[2]. The microcode is also organized more like a conventional ROM instead of being addressed directly by opcodes.

Bytes from the prefetch queue first go through a separate decoding stage. An "entry point PLA" translates the opcode (with additional inputs for 0Fh and REP prefixes, real/protected mode, and "modr/m extended opcodes") into a microcode address. That address, any operands including a 16 bit immediate and 17(?) bit displacement field, and other flags are placed into a "decoded instruction queue" holding up to three instructions.

From what I've read the 386 was actually very similar despite adding 32 bit registers and paging. The next major changes to the microarchitecture came in the 486 and Pentium.

I think this article has aged very well.

> Also web browsers face a constant stream of security issues. What are we supposed to do instead?

There's not much that users can do, but web browsers have spent the last decade moving away from "Penetrate and Patch" to much more proactive approaches. Eg, Chrome pioneered moving each tab to a separate process with full sandbox isolation. Firefox is talking about using webassembly as an intermediate compilation step for 3rd party C++ code to effectively sandbox it at a compilation level. Rust was invented by Mozilla in large part because they wanted to solve memory corruption bugs in the browser in a systematic way.

> "Default Permit" - nice idea in most cases. I've never heard of a computer that's actually capable of only letting your most commonly used apps run though.

MacOS requires user consent for apps to access shared parts of the filesystem. The first time you see dialogues asking "Do you allow this app to open files in your Documents folder" its sort of annoying, but its a fantastic idea.

As you say, my iPhone is more secure than linux for the same reason - because iOS has a "default deny" attitude toward app permissions. A single malicious app (or a single malicious npm package) on linux can cryptolocker all my data without me knowing. The security model of iOS / Android doesn't allow that and thats a good thing.

I wish iOS was more open, but on the flipside I think linux could do a lot more to protect users from malicious code. I think there's plenty of middle ground here that we aren't even exploring. Linux's permission model can be changed. We have all the code - we just need to do the work.

Also since this article was written, we've seen a massive number of data breaches because MongoDB databases were accidentally exposed on the open internet. In retrospect, having a "default permit" policy for mongodb was a terrible idea.

I used to have a ton of issues with the Go MySQL driver - there was a specific version with specific settings I'd cargo-cult into all my projects along with comments explaining not to mess with them because I knew it was relatively stable.

These days though it's genuinely pretty solid, haven't had a problem in a couple years. They've largely worked the kinks out.
I remember Obama talking about this. I'll (poorly) paraphrase:

'When I first got into politics, I thought it would be like the rest of life. You know, when you see a great NFL player, he's a lot better than the college guys, who are a lot better than the high school guys. Same with pianists. The guys in the concerts are some of the best of the best. But that wasn't true in politics. The people that were really good at politics had no bearing on being senators or dog catchers. It was all a mixed bag.'

My apologies for butchering that.

But, I think that management is a lot like that. Peter Principle, yadda yadda yadda. We all know. But it's the expectation that your boss knows anything that really gets you. Gotta stop expecting your 'superiors' to know how to fog a mirror.
Is this basically Nix derivations, but with a more familiar syntax? (Dockerfiles)
I think if you're close to any airport, it is very normal. If you're, for example, landing in Chicago, I'd be shocked if you can't see a bunch of other planes out of the window. I also once had some delay when having to fly over Dubai, where we had to fly in circles before landing, and I saw a large amount of airplanes circling around the same area above and below us. But I'm no expert in aviation by any means, so I can't really comment on the appropriateness.
Planes on intersecting paths will be placed in separate flight levels. The standard is 35,000ft or “FL35”, and usually East bound traffic gets odd FL and West bound gets even. It’s likely the plane you saw would have collided with yours had it been on the same FL, but it was likely off by 1,000ft. The relative addition of two cruising speeds make it more dramatic too.
Maybe I'm being too harsh, but my interpretation of that point is that they expect we'll eventually become perfect, which isn't going to happen in the software world as it hasn't happened in the airline world, even though the airline world has more incentives to be perfect in the form of more penalties when it isn't.
That same government is still in power. It is the Labor government in Queensland, for anybody that is wondering.
Completely agree.

You should vote out all these idiots who try to change your tax rates every couple of months.
>The real question to ask is not "can we educate our users to be better at security?" it is "why do we need to educate our users at all?"

Great point, but the emphasis on system administration instead of the broken nature of operating systems causes the point to be missed.
> If the answer is that the superset O has fewer properties where every p(o) = 1 then I agree, and I was overthinking it

It's just this honestly. A superset will generally have fewer properties which apply across the whole set.
Maybe, but I interpreted that as him insisting we must eventually become perfect, which isn't going to happen.
Webkit policy requires all reviewers be approved openly - it’s not possible for an Apple employee to land changes without a project approved reviewer. The reality is that the majority of webkit engineers and reviewers are employed by Apple, so an Apple engineer can always talk to a reviewer in person if they’re trying to get a faster turn around.

Similarly Apple employees have to go through the same nomination process to become reviewers, and are subject to the same requirements.
I see. I could imagine submitting something I had done in the past, but the idea of doing custom work for free doesn't sound equitable. There was another issue too, but that should probably stay private.
There's probably room for a socket option to automatically close connection on FIN; I'm surprised it isn't there already.
Do you have a brand you like? I'm thinking of getting a countertop device soon and they sell a "re-alkalizes it" version but I don't know if that's "enough" and of the right type and I'd like to cover my bases in case it's not.
Almost as if they are trying to come up with some cash to pay for losing a big lawsuit.
India's case is unfortunately a lot more worse. The reason why this sort of corruption gets an easy pass is because the public is not necessarily against corruption. They like to imagine themselves as temporarily embarrassed 'millionaires' type of section. While the discussion is always on the lines corruption being bad, its only used in the context of looking better.

Pretty much everyone wants a government job, or any job where they can make money through bribes. Major Indian cities run dozens of coaching class cram schools to prep people for civil services jobs. Becoming corrupt is an aspirational thing in India. This is an elephant in the room nobody wants to discuss. Your ordinary Indian walking on the street deeply aspires to be corrupt. Only thing next to this is the desire for managerial jobs in private firms. Because this is how you get by life giving orders and not doing any work.

The only reason why the protests against the previous governments was so intense was not because of corruption. The overall polarising movement that started in the 1980s from the destruction of Babri Masjid means there is a long running and developing trend among India's electoral masses to consolidate on the lines of religion. This means other things aren't all that important. This also means to win elections, you need money from all these big corporate payers. Their corruption goes ignored, and in many is even perfectly acceptable.

That's an interesting point on Authorization. Though, if Google does it, there must be a way for you to serialize the data too. Curious to know more as well.

Anyways, excited to see where this goes! I've been reaching out to people for a consumer-oriented idea, and forums have been a great source of info; making that search more specific and succinct is much needed. This would really help me out!
The iPhone 6S (and the OG iPhone SE) still run iOS 15, so should be usable for maybe 2 more years. It was released in 2015, so could come close to 10 years of practical use. Note all iPhones fare equally well, but you should probably be able get 6+ years out of any model.
Just wait until they do this to alcoholic beverages. Good way to bring down an entire industry.
What distinguishes a SIEM from traditional log analysis?
I know the feature set is oriented towards SIEM but it seems like a super set of

I dunno, the question is "against what?"; I trust a Chromebook to resist an evil maid attack, but not to stop an advertiser from stalking the user. Some people are okay with that threat model.

Well as long as you're omitting information for brevity while suggesting it may be helpful to others and at the same time having told n=1 to avoid consulting with someone who is trained in the subject that may be able to catch and correct any errors or problems you've missed I can't see any issue there.

> "Now [the Supercharger network] the linchpin of their brand and their competitive moat against other automakers."

This is a very American perspective. The North American EV market is about a third the size of the European EV market. Europe standardised on CCS Type 2 Combo and all brands of EV can charge on all chargers, no nonsense with incompatible plugs and protocols.

Here's an American car reviewer charging an EV in Europe and wishing America was the same:

Here's a BMW charging on a Tesla charger as Nature intended:

North America's incompatible charging infrastructure is a profoundly stupid outcome and only serves to make EVs worse than ICE vehicles.

America is still good at innovation but has forgotten how to do implementation.

They are not perfect though - roaming tends to not be available and they can get deprioritized more than the post-paid plans, sometimes painfully so; I was once outside an Ikea trying to notify them to bring out my order and the deprioritization was so bad that I had to walk into the store and use its wifi to notify them to bring out the order.

My coworker uses this a lot at work to solve the problem of keeping different software versions consistent across developer machines on the team. Being by Microsoft, this dovetails really well with Visual Studio Code. I find the CLI to be okay I guess for something written in JavaScript. I prefer ASDF generally[1] for solving this problem, since there's always a lot of fiddling you have to do with containers, but this is more cross platform so there's that.

Highly produced, short run podcasts that are not tied to another property are too expensive and too risky as hits were increasingly far from guaranteed. There was only a brief window when large numbers of listeners were willing to try all of them. The last season of Serial covered some of these issues at Gimlet leading up to the Spotify sale; the rest of the market took longer to catch on, bet hard on TV license deals or simply had VC money to burn through first.
There is the flipside of that problem. If you say "We can never get hacked" then you will find that you breed a culture of denial if there is a problem.
> Also web browsers face a constant stream of security issues. But so what? What are we supposed to do instead? Any simpler version doesn't have the features we demand, so you're stuck in a boring corner of the world.

The charitable interpretation of the “penetrate and patch” section is the architectural parts, and browsers are a great example. At the time he wrote that, a browser was a single process running everything in traditional C/C++ calling other unsafe code (i.e. Flash) in the same process. People did patch a lot but they also did things like split components into separate processes with different privilege levels, change practices throughout the codebase to harden things like pointers or how memory is allocated, rewrite portions in memory-safe languages, etc. It took a decade but browsers became a lot harder to successfully exploit.
They support them for security updates like the OP link shows, but obviously at some point insufficient compute power is a good reason to not load new features on.
My understanding is the author suggestion is to start with a security first approach, rather than wait-and-fix.
