>Nope. What I'm suggesting is that threat modelling is important. If attack vectors were classified equally based on technicalities we would have infinite surface area.

OK, so we agree that, your original statement (which follows) is wrong, because it makes broad, tacit assumptions about the threat model that are not justified?

Security is a field related to protecting device-users from malicious actors.

Whereas a more conventional definition of information security would also involve protecting systems from unauthorized access, including privilege escalations (that's the E in STRIDE, right?) that bypass controls that were intended to apply to the user.

Honestly, it's baffling to me why you're arguing this point.
Why does that matter? They knew it was broken but didn’t explicitly notify the cleaning company to avoid the fridge. Like what is the argument exactly? “I knew this was broken and didn’t tell you about it. Now you owe me money because the broken thing interfered with your work.”

Your reaction to the title says more about your own psychology than the title itself.
Interesting. So you're saying small trucks aren't technically viable under current US legislation? That seems like a glaring emission indeed. Why not just create a light truck category with more lax emission standards? (I suppose it's not too difficult to disallow normal cars from qualifying as light trucks to get higher emissions?)
If a speculative bubble was later found to be a victim of pump and dump, then people also can go to jail.

At that point did it stop being a speculative bubble?

The reality is, reality doesn't have such distinct boundaries as you are trying to enforce.

At the end of the day, what is the point of a word's definition? To help communicate an idea to other people and society. The US financial and legal systems are intentionally designed to segregate the less educated. Confusion is their primary strategy to make more money! You can either choose to help them continue the segregation, or you can chose to liberate financial and legal concepts to everyone.

How can you help? By understanding what parts of the concept were easy to understand, what colloquial language is most used to describe it, and then realizing the gaps between the coloquial and technical definitions.

Trying to resolve those gaps with "you're using ponzi wrong" continues the segregation and confusion. Trying to resolve the gaps with "Oh.. you think a ponzi scheme is any scam using obfuscated financial instruments. Ok fair enough lets start the conversation there." you would then continue and say "A typical ponzi schema has a single power structure with a single voice and name e.g. Bernie Madoff. However, in this case it is a ponzi scheme with a distributed set of actors i.e. no one is working together, but still there is large scale issue occurring - we typically call this a speculative bubble / coordinated pump and dump - its not always easy to know what exactly is going on".

You could even continue "Realestate in general has actually been a generational pump and dump scheme. Its not that grandma's everywhere meant to harm anyone, but the common advise to 'buy a hose at any cost' is in favor of the realestate owning elderly (i.e. most of them) and as such is difficult for them to say anything else. Additionally, because its been generational, it seems to have been working for quite some time giving it even more credence. At the end of the day tho, it is a distributed ponzi scheme - if you go to withdraw your money and no one is willing to add even more money (i.e. how much you want, and the "processing fees" around it) - you will not get your money."
Older-but-otherwise viable office stock, though, is a decent candidate to turn into housing. In a perfect world:

* Lots of companies still using office space migrate to new office towers.

* Older office towers get turned into housing.

Will that get us there? I'm not sure. Of course, banks will still not be so happy, because a lot of this newer stock that would have rented at premium commercial rates is going to have to go a fair bit cheaper.

(The other thing is-- if some of the older office stock gets turned into housing, the demand for commercial should go up, too, because it's easier for your work force to live close to work... but unfortunately, all of these corrections are on a timescale of 5+ years).
With Google you can sideload apps, use F-Droid or go for Lineage or Graphene.

So targeting Android makes much more sense than targeting iOS in this respect.
I'm working on an article on this, but I'll just chime in here also... this Reddit protest has accomplished absolutely nothing. If you went on a holiday for two weeks during early June and came back - you wouldn't even know that there was a protest in the first place.

Lemmy got some exposure, as did Mastodon. But that exposure is very small. We're living at a time where people's attention span and focus is entirely depleted and nobody wants to move away from that which is already comfortable and familiar.

It's also a great example of how a whale can just swallow up the consequences because it is that big and that deeply rooted. Reddit is going full steam ahead towards its IPO with a huge (and it's clear now, a conscious) "fuck you" flag waving in the turbulence.
Did they shoot themselves in the foot? It was a lot easier selling RHEL licenses when people were running on-prem workloads. These days the support contract many enterprises want is from their cloud provider, not their OS vendor.
I don't understand this "SVB bailout" meme. If a company manufacturing lifesaving medication goes under and the government takes over its factories to keep manufacturing the medicine and prevent shortages, did all the patients get "bailed out"? Should they have known better than to buy their medication from only one manufacturer?

Comments like this distract from real bailouts and moral hazards.
Could be! The java.util.prefs package does exactly that, in fact! On Windows it maps to the registry.
I worked in a suburban office park before the pandemic. My commute to the office park wasn't substantially shorter than when I commuted to a downtown office and the office park was a lot more depressing. When I worked downtown, my coworkers would regularly explore new restaurants during lunch, have 1-on-1s over ice cream etc. The other benefit was that downtown had better public transit. Getting from one random place in the suburbs to another via public transit is a much harder problem to solve than getting people to a central area.

I wish we could solve zoning and permitting and just build our cities up.

The integer examples really threw me off too.

The couple drivers I'd have to avoid as a pedestrian explained to me that they were not looking in the direction of travel. So I can't see what height or visibility would matter.
Not sure, and those are all good avenues for exploration. But it doesn’t look to me as if vehicle size, power, and weight can have caused the sudden increase because that happened over 20 years.
> I just fail to see how that's the US fault

Of course, it's not the US fault, because you're so helpful. Thanks for your help, buddy. But you better solve your own problems. Is it familiar narrative? Pretty much the entire non-western world is thinking like that, except yourself, of course. Because you are so helpful.

> I understand that it's war and it's hell, but regardless of the US intervention Ukrainians were going to pay a very high price.

There were many-many ways to avoid the war, or at least make the conflict less impactful for small little people. I can't believe people in 2023 are so pro-war.

> You'd prefer that the "west" close their eyes and let your country be absorbed by Russia ?

I'd prefer to stop people killing each other. It is so easy to do that, the only thing that is needed is the political will. However, some folks in the US/EU/RU/UA government spread lots of propaganda on why we need to "help". The West only wants to "help" because they will get political benefits, and they don't care about people dying, it's not the number one priority.
> XML data validation through XSD is a dream.

That assumes that the XSD is accurate. I'm currently working with a vendor that has probably the worst XML-based API I've ever seen and the XSDs they provide often don't provide 100% coverage and have bad complex type declarations, etc.

Battery backup isn't going to help when someone turns the sample storage fridge off. :(
This is missing context: Microsoft made their browser free at a time when Netscape cost $49.

Apple giving away Safari for free at a time when all major web browsers are free is different. Sure, Apple might benefit from being the default but Spotify and Pandora, which compete with Apple Music, are both still in Apple's app store.
There's a company called Yoshi that does this, only they come out to you with a pump on a van. One of my neighbors uses them. I guess it works, though I never go the appeal, not to mention I'm not 100% sure how it'd work with my car, since it auto locks the fuel cap unless the fob is nearby.

This is what I was responding to. You seemed to be insinuating that I didn't understand that laws or rules are not sufficient deterrents.

> nobody was shown to have done anything wrong here beyond the benefit of doubt

I'm still confused as to how the SEC was able to fine someone for not committing any wrongdoing, exact definition of the word "crime" which I have clarified I used to mean "general rule breaking" aside.
With a tighter money policy coming from the FED in an attempt to control inflation, the availability of commercial building loans is negligible. The market will self correct. Hopefully it won't take a bunch of people with it.
Now that the jpeg craze is dead, capital should be allocating itself towards more virtuous NFT use cases, should it not? That's where economic activity in an efficient market would move towards.

The marketplace decides what the purpose is. The use case people wanted was an easy way to launder real money into jpegs of arbitrarily set ETH values. Now that the PPP loan and ZIRP era is over, the bottom has fallen out of NFTs entirely. NBA Top Shot was one of the few non-jpeg early succes stories but that's flamed out as well.

Should we allow the human trafficking that “feeds” their industry too?
Another way of putting this is that the present is full of doubts and fears, while the past is done, settled; it has no risks.

The fundamental problem is that the way we live in modern society is full of uncertainty that stems from unbridled change. It's driving us all mad because can't stop it, and we don't know what is the next casualty.

Nostalgia is also particularly strong for things we know we've lost and can never get back. Modern life is all about erasing--overwriting, really--both past and present, with new, shiny, utterly cheap coats of paint. Or knocking down and paving over.
Sales tax is an abomination. I walk into the store, pick something off the the shelf that says it costs $9.99, but I can't actually buy it for that. Argh.
Further support for this theory is provided by this graph, which shows two separate, distinct jumps from 2014-2016 and 2020-2022:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FzU9P7iX0AARi1F?format=jpg

What happened in 2014 was Ferguson, followed by the Ferguson Report, and the initial stages of changes in enforcement. Then in 2020 we had Floyd and an even larger pullback.

Roads did not change. Phones had been around for years by 2016. SUVs had been gaining in popularity for literally decades. It's not dispositive, but the only thing that fits the timing perfectly are the changes in policing after 2014 and 2020.

Police in some cities have almost completely stopped doing traffic enforcement. San Francisco, for example, used to issue something like 12k citations per month. Now they issue just a couple hundred. The change started right after the Ferguson Report was released:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/10lkdhk/traff...

Other cities have done the same. Police didn't just back off. They practically stopped enforcement altogether. We're talking about 95% drops in enforcement in some places.

Telling pedestrians they can walk into a busy street when the signal clearly shows to not cross is not intelligent behavior. Regardless of right of way or safety stances, there is everything from impaired drivers to drivers with faulty brakes and other car issues that make crossing at any time unexpectedly unreasonable.

Pedestrians should only be told by officials to cross streets when signals indicate it's safe (as had been the case for many years prior). Regardless, they probably may not do so, but local government should not empower people to simply be reckless in crossing streets. Telling people they are somehow protected or justified simply by being in a crosswalk (even when signals indicate to not cross) contradicts years of jaywalking tickets given out in states for decades prior, when the death rates were lower.

Depends on the context. But if for example you aim to replace a legacy system you might sit down with your user(s) and watch how they interact with it first. What works well? What are their pain points? What could you improve? Basically don't dive in completely oblivious. If the system didn't exist before things become even harder, and I don't have any advice there other than working with subject matter experts where possible.

Whether this is out of scope for your book I don't know. But the key take away here is that you can't presume to know better than your own users.
> Do explorers survive better than people who migrate to new locations with their families, or something?

No, they die far more often. Because they enter unknown risky situations.

Humans explore in search of new lands and resources, and in search of safe paths.

When they take the more vulnerable members of the tribe, they generally have a better idea of where they're going, what the path is, and what risks are involved.

If a path is too dangerous then they don't tend to take pregnant women and small children.

So because it is primarily adult or adolescent males that go on the more risky adventures, they're the ones that have the costly adaptations required to maximise the likelihood of survival.
Looks like the Lousiana government is taking a cue from big corporations and tracking people's online activity. What is this intended for? How are they going to prove they are not secretly selling online activity data? This is a massive privacy violation, especially when you think about how you can target ads to people by their porn fetishes now that you have direct identification of individuals by their ID and you've made it a crime to pretend to be someone else. But money is money.
good point. I'm in the suburbs so no [explicitly] directional lanes but agreed runners should almost always yield nevertheless.
The combination of the depictions of nerds vs jocks in 80s and 90s media plus this huge overcorrection on toxic masculinity really fucked with me hard. I thought that nerd and jock was a hard line, that I had to actively avoid anything sports related to not be one of the stupid jocks who were all woman objectifiers. I was also convinced that women wanted nothing to do with sex, hated getting hit on, and would consider any physical contact without explicit verbal approval to be assault.

Now I know that's all a load of crap. Nerds can and should play sports for the health and social benefits, women absolutely have sexual desires, and all physical interactions with someone are contextual. It just would have been great to have had that realization way sooner than my late 20s!

There must be a middle-ground somewhere that discourages being disgusting to women while also not making men feel like they are inherently disgusting. Something that lets a wide spectrum of both masculinity and femininity be considered valid and acceptable.
This has been around on HN quite a few times - so many that I'm just going to say "try the 'past' link" rather than pasting them all.
Your theory about "suburbs are supported by cities" is controversial. I already know the video you shared and it isn't very convincing. But arguing about this will basically be the usual link exchange (I'm not an urban planner or state accountant and I assume you aren't either). I have some data for you though:

- My county doesn't have any medium-sized or big cities, so all the county maintained roads (most of our roads) are fully paid by our property taxes, which are relatively low percentwise but, as a high-income county, adds up to a pretty penny. I do most of my driving inside my county.

- A lot of road maintenance comes from the gas tax, which I pay plenty and is used inside and outside the county.

- As a tech worker, my state income tax bill is WELL above the median (like 3x-5x+). And the same applies to the suburban county I live in - these suburbanites pay a TON in state income tax. The county only receives a small fraction of the state taxes, which also goes to subsidize - guess what - city living programs.

- My federal tax bill is also huge, well above the median, as is the case with my fellow suburbanites, so I think I'm paying for all my use of federally funded highways in my state and the next 3 or 4 states to the north (if not more).

Suffice to say, I do pay a lot for this benefit, and I'd pay even more if it came to that. And if it was that much more expensive, land in the suburbs would be a lot cheaper than it is now, which would even the math.

> A cool feature would be "This pod stopped, and didn't restart for 10 minutes" and the reason is "{the reason in plain English}".

There is a little "bulb" icon on the top. That enables a "highlight mode" where you can select some text, usually kubernetes error messages. That is sent to an OpenAI LLM to (1) convert the error into plain english (2) show potential fixes.

This is limited by what GPT4 can provide but it is still helpful in some cases. Maybe we should highlight this feature more :)

> Kubernetes feels like a leaky thing to throw abstractions over, so the pain with using it is you need to become an expert in it, [..]

We believe two things: (1) k8s features exist because they are genuine user needs and we don't want to hide them (2) things get very complex very quickly because the "beast" is complex.

Argonaut's approach is what I call "Progressive Discovery". There is a good happy path that works for 80% of use cases. When you need to deviate, we make it easy to work with the underlying primitives to enable your use case.
This enables users to move fast without hitting an abstraction ceiling and it keeps the complexity in check.

That said - Argonaut is not for everyone. If you have just a service or two, you're better off running it on a hosted runner instead of an aws or gcp or azure. It is going to be cheaper at small scale too.
My assertion is dividing things by 2 several times is not that difficult. Happy to be shown I'm wrong. :D

Edit: And yes, multiplying by basically any number is somewhat easier going up. It is specifically the down measuring that is harder to do.

A lot of AWS services (especially SageMaker) aren’t very good in customer experience. People buy them for nominal capabilities and AWS core bread and butter — short-term and long-term reliability.

Most of these startups (AI and others) have to offer a compelling product before even being notable.

Besides, AWS top level doesn’t care if you use sagemaker or not. There’s a premium but if you’re still using EC2 via another startup, they’re still capturing lions share of value.
It’s the current version of the textbook for the current version of the submitted course (CS61A). I don’t understand the point you are trying to make. It was an appropriate addition to the discussion.
> I would say the banking sector as a whole was bailed out

I disagree with that characterization.

The FDIC refunds depositors using money (assessments) they collect from member banks. So in essence, unless the government does something special to inject funds directly into the FDIC, the remaining FDIC member banks would likely see their assessment rates go up to cover the costs of these bank failures.

From https://www.fdic.gov/news/speeches/2023/spmar2723.pdf:

> "any losses to the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) as a result of uninsured
deposit insurance coverage will be repaid by a special assessment on banks as required by law."
You need a membership? LOL. I stopped at a few of these driving back from SF to BC and nobody ever asked me for a membership card. But then maybe they saw the BC plate and decided not to bother?

That's an interesting perspective, in my experience on basically all of those issues I don't see a notable difference in attitude between Oregon & Washington. There's a pretty big shift in mindset going to the east side of either state, but west of the Cascades it might as well be the same state.

The issue is that if you get rid of the male/female bracket - you’re going to never see women win almost any sports at all. As soon as men go through puberty - most women are at a significant biological disadvantage. Turns out, some women like sports and like to compete. They don’t want to compete against men because it’s very lopsided and unfair due to biology.

Pre-pandemic I started commuting by train and even though it was nearly the same time spent, my attitude and outlook was worlds better than when I was driving in heavy traffic every day.

There are multiple workable solutions, and unfortunately most US cities aren't heavily invested in any of them. My city has very limited rail lines and it was only happenstance that my work was close enough to a stop for it to be a reasonable way to get to the office. Literal millions of other people in the metro area don't have that option.
