I really enjoyed reading his book Ghost in the Wires. It is the story of Mitnick’s hacking career, from the start in his teens, through becoming the FBI’s most wanted hacker, to spending years in jail before finally being released. It’s a fascinating book that at times reads like a thriller. One of the things that struck me when reading it was how often he used social engineering to gain access to systems.

I wrote more about it here:

Ask yourself if you next decision is based on your opinions or on fact. Then check to make sure your facts are not actually your or someone else's opinions.

What is tolerable is kind of up to you. Opinions are not bad and can allow one to make "educated guesses" that speed decision making.

Recognizing that our opinions are not facts though is the first step to detecting and mitigation the many forms of bias out there.
I've had hearing loss my whole life and I wear them all the time on most days.

However, I do find a sort of peace not wearing my hearing aids. If the house is empty I usually don't put my hearing aids on for hours in the morning.
The relevant point of comparison for me is Overwatch 1, which cost around $40 and provided me with hundreds of hours of entertainment for years after release, as well as indie titles that typically cost $15-30 and equally provide me with least dozens, if not hundreds of hours of entertainment. A $10/mo subscription is an increase of at least 1000%.

Canadian researcher resigns as Stanford President: research manipulation
I've gone biking for 30 minutes every day for the last 23 weeks as of this morning. I believe the psychological power of keeping my streak alive is a big part of how I've managed to lose 60 pounds in that timeframe.

Next week I'm traveling to see my dad for the first time since he beat cancer. It's looking like I won't be able to have access to a bike all week.

The prospect of how to feel about breaking the streak has been rattling around in the back of my head. I like the thoughts in this fine article; it would be nice to be able to feel like I've "closed the gap" even after the fact. Maybe I'll let myself "backfill a day" once a week with an hour long ride or something. I like the idea of protecting the sensation of progress for the part of myself that clings so hard to it.

I initially liked them, but later changed my mind. The same goes for e.g. prettify-symbols-mode in Emacs or conceal in Vim, which takes the same concept further.

I often work with files (both documents and code) where Unicode input is permitted, and it can then be important to know what exactly is written in the file. Fancy ligatures make this ambiguous.

I would also advise against ligatures in terminals, as it can mess up some text-based interfaces.
But there was Oracle. I actually worked on a dual MySQL/Oracle setup in 2004, and MySQL seemed like a toy database.
I'm not ignorant of the life-long effects you have from anything that happens in your childhood. We could take the same perspective on abuse from the state and so on. The government does not always have the child's best in mind.

Just something as schooling in general, which I consider to be a very negative thing for the majority of children, but then for many children it is a safe haven from an abusive home situation. Nobody is unaware of these issues, so I really fail to see what your comment was trying to achieve.

I would add to this list the specialized construction workers and engineers who can build the buildings required to house a fab. This is similarly specialized, I imagine, as things like hospital construction. You can't just pull 100 crews used to building homes and say "Hey build this fab mkay?"
And yet it's the standard practice for normal people.

Certainly, specific demographics can vary by school. But the OP said that enrollment of MINORITIES plummeted in the California university SYSTEM. Asians are minorities. There are more schools than UCLA and Cal.

Moreover, we can examine the data directly at Berkeley and realize that the only demographic that has “plummeted” long term is whites. Immediate enrollment percentages may have dropped for black and Latino students but it has recovered and it seems like Berkeley has been able to somehow return to their previous highly consistent proportion of Latino and black students. UCLA is the same.

It’s almost uncanny how the racial percentages at top schools stay so consistent over the years.

Google Docs have somehow solved E2E encryption with safe sharing and collaboration. They haven't advertised it much, just a mention here and there as an enterprise requirement or something, it's good how they've implemented it on top of an existing web-first collaboration product.

They do have technical challenges implementing add-on services on top of content - For example, the grammar checker or any content assistance is disabled in E2E encrypted docs, which makes sense.

Surprisingly they support spellcheck: I guess they are shipping dictionaries to browsers and use a local lookup. (Google Docs doesn't rely on browser's dictionary because their editor is not based on `contenteditable`)

I would not call study worthless, but to establish causation one could do an experiment where elderly adults are given (1) an opportunity for a free hearing test and hearing aids if needed (2) the equivalent amount of cash. Then follow up the two groups to see if group 1 is less likely to develop dementia. My guess is that the results will not be strong.
I just thought it was an interesting contrast to the bank executive story. Which demonstrated how the passphrase may have evolved and that moving money is done by voice authentication today.

> a crude mode of communication where we don't care about communicating clearly or on subject

I didn't read this from it though. That seems somewhat orthogonal to the content of the article?

> or emphasizing respect to yourself and to the other person, or maintaining connection to the long term culture and history of thought.

This I do actually take issue with though. This is an example of what I meant above. I grew up speaking a "non-standard" English and I can say that I've never felt that using it was reflective of a lack for respect for myself or the people around me. Saying that someone should speak in a more "standard" or "high brow" way that comes unnaturally to them in order to show respect is an example of the power dynamic I'm talking about.

I come from Northern Ireland and my speech is heavily inflected. If I go to England and speak with people who have more linguistic dominance then I notice a change in how in received. There is an assumption that I'm less intelligent when I use my Hiberno-English, like saying "they learned me how to write" rather than "they taught me how to write." If the English of my home was dominant then we would see this effect in reverse.

Same for wanting to "maintain a connection to long term culture or thought." Those cultures and thoughts win out on the long term because of the power plays. How many languages have died out in the course of colonialism? Do think the speakers of those languages didn't want a connection to the history of thought, or did we just ignore them and forget them because they lacked the power to assert themselves?

> Of course with humanities you can creatively construct

What does this mean? Are you saying that your assertions are more rooted in hard science than mine? Or the whole field of social linguistics is hogwash? Then why have this conversation at all?

> If you strictly equate cultural practices with social groups that can be dominant or not

I didn't.

> Powerful people are usually crude

Is this an oversimplification? Are non powerful people usually not crude? This is the point: the sophistication is not an inherent trait of the language; it's socially constructed and perpetuated through social power dynamics.
> And the one thing Nintendo does not want is a legal case, because they know they are most likely going to lose it and then it's likely not just dolphin which would take advantage of the additional legal clarity created by the case.

Bollocks. Nintendo has a reputation for suing the hell out of anyone, often repeatedly, even if they would likely lose. They're rabid about protecting their IP, to the point where they're infamous for it.

It's possible to take this too far. I agree that TSMC is a major piece of the U.S.'s interest in Taiwan. but it's not the only thing. The U.S. supported Taiwan long before TSMC came around.
So thus, the right salary to hire the people they need is somewhere between what they're currently paying, and $1B/year. My guess—and this is only a guess, mind you—is that they'd still be able to staff up on something significantly lower than $1B. But I'm not an economist, so I might be wrong there.
The fact they chose Arizona to build this thing is mind boggling.
Historians consistently underestimate the strength and sheer "badass-itude" of premodern peoples. It's a reminder that historical volk are alien creatures, with a bewitching external similarity that belies their internal lives, outlook, and abilities. The example fresh in my mind was the old "official" military historian estimate for the upper bounds of the English longbow draw weight, which was ballparked in the hundred-something range maximum. Archeology later showed that the actual English bows had draw weights well over two hundred pounds, more than twice the earlier maximum possible estimate. We've seen similar things with muscle-powered weapons in the ancient world. Historians earlier posited that bladed weapons would have been largely ineffective against Parthian armor, then archeology shows how some ungodly Roman beast shoved his gladius through 4mm of bronze/iron composite.

What's the reason for the consistent overestimation? In my opinion, we operate from the standpoint of an extremely long-lived and risk-averse civilization. Therefore, changing our bodies - through training, scarring, and other means - is largely seen as neurotic if it damages overall health. This would have been an alien outlook to many premodern peoples - permanently impinging the usage of one's thumbs would have been a small cost for being a solider able to swing through plate, or fire an arrow with killing power at three hundred yards. We need to remember that what we see as important is not always what the human species has seen as important. Indeed, you can see this today, even among different polities of the same country.

On an interesting note, I did notice the wording of what was said in the article was odd

> [...] skilled workers and technicians needed to move equipment into the facility.

> [...] specialized expertise required for equipment installation in a semiconductor-grade facility

This doesn't sound so much like the day-to-day factory work that they struggling to hire for, but more so something like: delivery of equipment, warehouse receiving, and equipment install & maintenance personnel.

> That said, da Vinci undertook his own dissections; they led him to make the pioneering discovery that the heart has four chambers.

Huh, for some reason I assumed this knowledge would have been older. Like would the romans not have known this? We know they did autopsies. And I mean, various animal hearts have been used in cooking across the world.

But wikipedia first cites it to Turkish researchers in the 1200s and spreading to the west in 1400, which is way later I would have expected this kind of visually observable biology knowledge to come from.

TSMC has a long history of increasing double digit profit margins, in the range of $10B+ per year, and is amongst the most profitable businesses in the world. I would err on the side of TSMC deciding not to pay sufficiently to incentivize labor (which may still be the optimal move for TSMC).

The US defended S. Korea for ideological reasons, and it will do the same again.

If they wanted to promote competence then the damages would be applied to the corporation for implementing the vulnerability, not on the attacker for exposing it. This way, corporations are given a shield for being incompetent and can place the blame and damages upon an individual that brings them to light.
He was already meeting with the CEO in some capacity, so it's very clear he had access to the CEO, maybe as a security consultant. Then getting him to read the number is easy, "Hey, I just got a new cell, but I might have given you my old card, can you read the number back to me?"

Getting a phone number with all the necessary digits is a bit of a stretch, but not impossible. And I would suspect, because this is the way phone systems generally work, that there was no bound on the number of attempts to enter the account number. Account numbers are all the same length, so you know exactly how many characters to input, it's just a matter of brute forcing the number--and for all I know, there may be some kind of structure that Mitnick found out.

Meeting with the board sounds like an embellishment for sure, especially for Mitnick's initial report, but I could definitely see--especially if someone was looking for a big chunk of money to strengthen the system--the report eventually being given to them.

The check on the silver platter is the most believable part of the story. Have you ever met a CEO? And why wouldn't the architect of the system be there to receive the report on the security of the system? Who else should be there?

For me, the only truly unbelievable part of this story is that he needed the CEO's voice at all. And for all we know, he just said he recorded the CEO's voice for a laugh.

I think the point is that interpretation is all we really have. We believe that memories are these absolute things, but rigorous studies show that no human being remembers things perfectly, even when they believe they do.

For many years as a kid, I knew Santa Claus was real because I had seen him come to my house. My faith was unshakable, because I had observed it with my own eyes. Years later, I found out that on Christmas morning. My dad had left the room changed into the Santa outfit, snuck outside and came to the back door to surprise me with my mom. I was too young to realize that my dad had snuck away and wasn’t there at the same time as Santa.

If we could look back in time and see things just as they were I think it would be disconcerting how many little details we remember wrong that our mind fills in, without us realizing it.
Turn off some of the effects like the moving scan line or noise and it's fine in my experience.

Sometimes I like to have a process like htop running and easily find the window on my desktop by making it look different than other terminals--this works great for a use case like that, it's unmistakeable what terminal is running the process you want to monitor.
This is an example of sitting on the couch all day vs getting hit by a car for physical decline.

My thoughts exactly!

(worth a risk of my karma for this no-so-glib remark, but ICAP protocol is busy in that HTTP examination arena)

The Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) is a lightweight HTTP-like protocol (request and response protocol), which is used to extend transparent proxy servers. This frees up resources and standardizes the way in which new features are implemented.

Use cases:

1. Antivirus Scanning: ICAP allows for integration with antivirus engines. When a client requests a web resource, the proxy server can send the content to an ICAP server with an antivirus scanning module

2. Data Loss Prevention (DLP): ICAP can be used to enforce data loss prevention policies. An ICAP server with DLP capabilities can inspect outgoing web content for sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or social security numbers.

3. Content Transformation: ICAP can be used to modify web content to adapt it for specific devices or network conditions.

4. Content Filtering: ICAP can be used to implement content filtering and censorship mechanisms. By connecting a proxy server to an ICAP server equipped with content filtering capabilities, organizations can enforce policies to block or modify specific types of content, such as malware, adult content, or unauthorized websites.

It is a whole new world, especially with HTTP/3 and its many variants.
Honestly it's a pretty overpriced game. I was disappointed, didn't even finish it. The part they showed in open beta was good, after that it was basically just the same shit for way too long.

Enemies all feel the same, quests and events all feel the same, almost literally every minibuss and even some major bosses have this dumb ass mechanic where they summon ads which make them invulnerable, seriously it's the least interesting game mechanic in the world and they overuse it so severely it's honestly a big part of why I didn't finish the game.
