> These attacks are conducted using social engineering, where the threat actor impersonates the customer and requests that the number be ported to a new device for some reason. To convince the mobile carrier that they are the customer, they provide personal information exposed to phishing attacks and data breaches.

> As the Google Fi data breach includes phone numbers, which can easily be linked to a customer's name, and the serial number of SIM cards, it would have made it even more convincing when contacting a mobile customer support representative.

They used the data in the breach to social engineer the Google fi reps. Attackers still needed to get through Google’s customer support system to perform the SIM swaps.
First ; Gosh I wish I had the knowledge you have on electric transfrerence/resistance==ohms/volts

But given that coin discs input/output are heat-dependent based on your comment, and no knowledge, would it not be sound to place CR coin batts in a baffle of graphene-aero-gel which could be just mm thicc and shield them from said temp inflections? This would greatly increases life, and can be moulded and produced en-mass with little effort and minimal cost (especially if you encase batteries used in space flight etc - and one may use the non-conductive format to use aerogells as an extremely light and thin insulating layer for many a thing.

Imagine the ability to 'spray' an AeroGel sealant onto a component which is heat sensitive to its accuracy...

Is this an OpenAI attempt to gather more insight and data, while identifying actors in the AI jailbreak game ? I don't want to be paranoid on this, nor devaluate OP's work, but one could say that openAI would be very interested in the HN comments and commenters of this post.

Was GPU acceleration considered? I know there's cudf which tries to offer dataframes for GPUs already. But, in my naive mind, it feels like dataframes would be a great fit for GPUs, I'm curious why there seems to be little interest in that.
Always seems bizarre to me I can ride an ATV around or even a motorcycle on the highway, but a cheap 1980s style Honda CRV is apparently to unsafe to sell anymore because it doesn't meet crash test standards.

> I don't know if they have batteries and wi-fi, or if they're updated manually with NFC

Yes, yes, yes, and other methods. These are called "Electronic Shelf Labels", and there's a whole slew of competitors.

WiFi is very high power, so its "pull only twice a day" kinda setup. You have a radio that only turns on twice a day to contact the server. Zigbee is also a solution, though that requires a Zigbee router (coordinator? I forget the terminology). Much less power on Zigbee, but if you're deploying hundreds/thousands of these ESLs, I think the benefits of Zigbee low power outweigh the penalties.

NFC exists but I don't think I've ever seen them in person. Probably too much effort since it'd require a human walking around the store?

I've even seen ESLs that work off of infrared. You're supposed to install IR LEDs all around the store, and they can it all shelf-labels to update. IR receivers are the lowest power, so this is the only way you can feasibly "push" data to a shelf label. (Wifi and Zigbee are "pull only").

So some computer blasts the IR signal around the whole store, which is enough information to transmit to change all the prices apparently. Like a giant broadcast remote control.
I'm tempted to get one, but it doesn't support HDR+ and some DV profiles, and AVI. Hopefully once the new Nintendo Switch comes out (as that's been the cadence for new Shields) an updated version will come out with updated support.
When you are in an over-supplied environment, then marketing becomes more crucial.

Indie games are massively over supplied. Thus to get traction you need to be out-marketing (not necessarily out-spending) the other guy.

In one sense building the game is the easy part. Selling it is the hard part. It's a crowded market, and most games are, well, not great. It takes time, effort, and yes money, to market well, and get any kind of traction.

Arguably OS/2 was better than Windows 95, but MS spent a billion $ marketing it, and today OS/2 is a history footnote, if you've heard of it at all.

The more compeditive the market, the more marketing matters.
Yep, using SMS for 2FA is the same as colleges using your social security number as ID on everything back in the day. It absolutely was never intended for the use case.
I think the answer is a lack of large scale storage mechanism for renewables. Perhaps, synthesising ammonia from renewable hydrogen could be a potential solution.
The strongest arugement I heard that Apple will not open iMessage to other platforms at this point is spam-prevention. When was the last time you received a spam iMessage compared to an SMS? That spam prevention hinges on real Apple hardware.
I think this is a good example of why "simple CRUD systems" are actually much more complex than people usually give them credit for. Anything seems easy if you do it badly. But multiple people editing a document at once with CRDTs and undo is still even easier than a basic CRUD application done properly: now you have multiple people editing multiple different data types at once! In such cases we should be thinking about building CRDTs over all the various operations users may be doing with the data, which means thinking about associativity and commutativity of generic data operations. Git only has to deal with merging text files line by line; CRUD applications have to deal with merging lots of different data types!
And friendly neighbors. France, Germany, Italy, and others have been willing to play ball. Geography simply changes the equation; fruit ain't worth the squeeze.
How is SMS a security risk? As far as I know, SMS is closely tied to a person's identity, especially 'know your customer' regulations. I'm curious how it's a security risk; as far as I know they have to be unique, which is good
Why American Engineers Aren't Unionized – A Comparative Perspective (1993)
I'd like to add my experience. I did a year of English in university, then switched to a software engineering major after internalizing all the "an English degree is useless" rhetoric.

While I am glad I didn't spend the ~$32,000 CAD it would have cost to get an English degree, I do wish I'd enrolled in a CS/English double major to get the benefits of technical studies and a humanities education. I have realized that, while I like software, a corporate job is just a means to an end to what I really enjoy: shared experience and art.

On another note, I did make the mistake of paying $15,000 CAD/year for a software engineering degree compared to $8,000/year for a CS degree. Now, in my final year, I'm taking many of the same classes CS students take. I would warn anyone in the same position in Canada (or the US) to seriously compare the two curricula when making a decision.
Eg in the 2021 T-Mobile breach, Ting MVNO claimed their users' data was not affected: https://help.ting.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/4405384603291...

Of course you'll still be affected by SIM-swapping etc that just change how your number itself is routed.
Nah. The billion dollar mistake is actually C arrays decaying to pointers, enabling buffer overflows, the #1 cause of bugs and malware injection in shipped C programs.

It's simple to fix this in C, too.
Have you used home-manager as well? Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the two, and what specifically makes nix-darwin so nice overall. I haven't used it before, just home-manager.
You can comfortably write a large web app in Python or similarly in JS, and people do. For embedded, it's already out of the question for other reasons. And you probably don't want exception-based handling in embedded, yeah.
functions can work with just pointer / size / stride. think of it as stl iterators, there's no real point to be passing the container itself around.

however, you can still do that, if you really want.

just `typedef DYN_ARR_OF(widget) widget_array;` and now you have a name-able type, and can even have dynamic-arrays-of-dynamic-arrays (`DYN_ARR_OF(widget_array)`).

Covid doesn't help people. Oil and gas can be thanked for everything in the modern world including medicine, infrastructure, GDP, etc etc etc.

The reduction of friction has me worried here. Nowadays you have to get a tow truck out to retrieve the vehicle, and you have an incentive not to do that pointlessly. But once the car can drive itself back to the dealership the bar will be lowered pretty quickly.
Where did I say they have to be poor, or should be poor?

If you read the thread, I'm the one who isn't implicitly conflating the 2, which I suspect is at least part of the disconnect.

This is why I don't get arguments mentioning slavery etc. Because poverty and blackness are separate. You don't need a racial component to go about fixing that. So the snark is wrong.
That’s assuming you regulate a very specific thing versus the end goal. To me the appropriate regulation is to find a way to cause real harm to T-Mobile when they are breached. When repeated like this or if done through effectively negligence, then they shouldn’t be allowed to be in business anymore. We gotta stop the tiny fines.. jail, billions of dollars in fines, remove their business license… something large needs to happen. Once that’s in place, you won’t need specific regulations as the incentive structure will be there to do the right thing.

There are still "hard" problems to solve when it comes to spellchecking. For example predictive text and correct typo detection. Notice what suggestions the Firefox and chrome spellcheckers give you versus what happens when you use google or mobile phone autocorrect. There are still differences in spellchecking speed, quality, and UX.
>>Unless you somehow prefer reading raw xml instead of maps.

Pretty sure I clearly stated this looks nothing like the charts im used to. Further real world comments above explain why this map is to put politely, lacking.

Major major difference between maps and data. Perhaps sitting in on Geog 120 or whatever it is wherever you are, would be wise. Hop in a seat of a Cessna 150 would too.
The moment I received a down vote for a simple opinion/observation about relieving naming overload and the similarities of BREAK and CONTINUE to GOTO I knew where this was going:)
You are only seeing a screenful of code at any time, no matter if they are in one file or multiple ones. I much prefer each “section” of code if you will having a specific name/location I can associate it with, than scrolling as a mad-man. Yeah, I know about markers/closable functions/opening multiple sections of the same file/etc, but at that point whose workflow is more complex?
It depends on the perspective you take. From my comfortable place here in Western society, 2C of global warming isn't going to destroy my quality of life. Goods might get more expensive, certain kinds of food products may become scarcer or disappear There might be more conflict "over there" because of water scarcity and famine. I may experience more political instability and degradation of some of the social fabric. But my day to day life probably won't change. However, if you talk about it from the perspective of the people who will actually bear the brunt of it, it's hard to see it as anything other than an unmitigated disaster.

Pessimism can be as toxic as unfounded optimisim when it's not strongly rooted in the reality of the situation. And to be clear. 1.5C is baked in at this point [1][2] and I suspect 2C is too but it's failed to obtain enough scientific consensus to get political buy in (for some reason scientific consensus in this space is extremely conservative). To me a realistic evaluation is that any "good news" there is is a drop in the bucket against the tsunami headed our way. Maybe we get lucky with fusion or some other scientific breakthrough. But I've not observed a pattern for humanity getting lucky in that way.

I also don't think it's demotivating to talk about it in real terms. For example, California's 2035 plan for fossil fuel cars is likely too little to late. It's better than nothing but also a lot can happen in 12 years to undermine that plan (it's also a pretty poorly thought out plan but maybe it'll work out well anyway). The US federal government is more lackadaisical about it with a plan to get to net zero by 2050. But you know what you don't hear politicians talking about? Net zero doesn't achieve any climate goals. Because we've been emitting so much CO2 for so long and will continue to do so for decades more, it's a runaway cycle. We would need to get to a substantial net negative to undo the warming that's baked in and to realistically try to avoid 2c. Lots of smart people are working on the problem. I think they've got the best sense of the urgency and import of the work and I don't think pessimism demotivates them as much as insufficient funding and legislative priorities.

> There’s “no credible pathway to 1.5C in place” today, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) insisted in a new report, despite legally binding promises made at the 2015 Paris Climate Conference to prevent average temperatures rising by more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels

I have Ally and Chime and I’m extremely disappointed neither accepts a Yubikey or something. Older banks like Schwab or US Bank I could see being behind the times, but I’d expect fintech or something more modern to be more sensible.

the limited point i was making is that soft skills are easier to pick up as you go along. Software is now approaching that same state. This does not apply to an English major learning the nuance of - say, aviation turbine design. Some fields require extensive study and lots of foundational knowledge.
I did a Poli-Sci degree with a minor in IT. Work in IT full-time now, but worked in a few different (wildly different, in some cases) fields before then.

Worked out alright, definitely see the differences when working on the architect / manager / principle engineer -- the highly technical types only see tech.

So, you are of the impression that men were all able to vote? That's kinda funny.

Voting rights were limited to rich men only. Poor men couldn't vote either. Only with the conscription into citizens' armies after the French revolution became it necessary for the "elites" to share their power. And soon after poor men gained suffrage, everyone gained suffrage. Go and check the development of voting rights in various democracies - you will find exactly this pattern.

So no; women have not been historically oppressed, not even in some highly religious societies.

Poor people have historically been oppressed. In any society.

Women had other roles than men. That doesn't mean they were oppressed. That narrative propagates capitalistic propaganda to turn the poor against themselves and to divert from the the fact that power always was limited to those with means. You know - the actual oppressors.
It depends on the individual; your college degree gets you your first job after college. After that, it's experience and relationships/contacts.

I know of English and Liberal Arts majors that are doing very well in tech fields doing work other than development: program management, developer relations, customer success, sales, marketing. Some in development too, just not as many.

The difference with those folks is that all of them kept a broad understanding of where they wanted their career to go, and allowed themselves to take on broader responsibilities and deeper challenges as time went on.
thanks, i've been conflicted between "go with what you know" and investing time to keep up with tech.

your value prop is a nice hedge in that i can try it out and play with results without much any investment, thanks!

> Reducing the costs to repossess collateral would reduce borrowing costs, and ultimately help borrowers with lower borrowing costs because there is less expense towards repossession.

Costs to borrowers could be reduced, which sounds like a nice silver lining to what most people would consider an anti-feature, but there's nothing that says the savings will necessarily be passed on to borrowers versus retained by the lenders instead.
This reminds me of an article on the JoS blog where Joel describes how hard/impossible it is to do real-time spell checking on the web with red underlines on the typos.
