To put the hack into perspective, there are 16 ministries in Norway, and 12 were affected by this hack. The article specifies that the only ministries not affected were: the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A list of the rest of the ministries can be found on the government's website in English [0]. While the scale of the attack is unfortunate, I feel like the four ministries that seemingly dodged the bullet were the most important ones.

As an additional note, the websites for the Norwegian police and the Norwegian Police Security Service (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste) were both down earlier today due to DDoS attacks. The websites for newspapers owned by the biggest media organization in Norway, Schibsted, were also hit by DDoS attacks today.

Without speculating or trying to attribute the DDoS attacks (not the actual hack), there have been multiple previous occurrences where assorted Russian groups have taken credit for similar kinds of DDoS attacks towards government and media websites. This has seemingly been due to Norway's support of Ukraine and condemnation of Russia in the current war.

How can I get domain for my personal website. I tried searching but I can't find how to get one for free it says 30€
In Brazil free phone calls would* allow criminals to manage crime from prison, through family.

* would = do; prisoners have easy access to cellphones, etc. Very common are scam calls originating from prisons. Classic real life meme is one criminal calling one person who happened to also be in another prison.
People who interview at these companies report on their interview experience. It's true, these leetcode style questions do get asked and not just by the FAANG companies but lots of much smaller, no-name companies as well.

Yes, you can certainly find companies out there that don't interview in this way, but leetcode interviews are extremely common.

For a long time, a friend and I wanted to start a series of TV channels that showed the full days TV from a year ago, 10 years go, 20 etc - adverts and all - for me it is the adverts and news/topical bits that would be most interesting.

That sounds very interesting! Is there something I could read more about it? Perhaps publications by you or anything like that you could recommend?
Trust only answers from domain experts.

I think it is unreasonable to expect that hackers are expert assyriologists, material scientists, or sociologists, despite what we may think about ourselves. Some of us are fortunate enough to know many things and master a few more disciplines. Few of us have mastered everything.

I know that I'm a glorified glue monkey. On all other subjects, I am ignorant, and rely on the opinions of others.

After leaving reddit, I'm trying not to relapse into karma farming and speculating about topics which I have no expertise in, which just about leaves my own personal anecdotes about growing up Canadian. That, and asking the beginner's question. That's probably for the best for the health of the forum at large.

To be fair TV ratings did this, just on a very slow inference cycle!
I am in the US on a H1-B visa, and my employer is starting the process of sponsoring me for a green card. I was born in the UK. Is this likely to succeed, and is there an estimated time it takes to be selected?
Man, I'm seeing such disingenuous takes from you all over this thread.

From "just get an android" in response to someone complaining about having to pay $100/yr to publish a FOSS app on the App Store to "I take it you don't use apple products" or "That's all going to the government! I ain't gonna use that!" when someone only mentioned not setting up Touch ID or Face ID.

Maybe read, think, and then don't reply with snark.

While I do agree with this change, this restriction also clearly serves to further entrench Apple to be the gatekeeper over users. They can fingerprint you, they can serve ads to you, but oh anyone else no no no, that's evil and against your privacy™
It might have been an issue - I can't know without knowing all the facts - but your lawyers should fight hard on not receiving the RFE and the resulting denial, file a motion/appeal, get a Congressional office involved. This isn't uncommon and usually USCIS will correct this.
You can turn JS on or off from settings, but IMO having limited support is a feature. The average site would wreck havoc on a Kindle's processor and battery life if it could run all scripts normally.
I find the topics that are most likely to generate "heated" discussion tend to be emotional topics, but also they're more broadly important to society and just more interesting to discuss. That's why I tend to browse in /active[1]. Some JSON parsing command line toolkit re-written in Rust [4 comments]? Yawn..

1. Faster delivery because it's all local and relies on "last mile" logistics companies for delivery instead of fedex/ups/etc (resulting in a shipping time in minutes instead of days - of course print times vary by 3d model and how complex it is, if supports need to be removed, etc)

2. Should be an order of magnitude cheaper than the big ones. I tried a few test orders on some of the big websites and they were quoting insane prices by default, like $100+ for a very small print of a lightbulb 3d model with slow shipping (around a week of lag time). Those big players are likely all paying for expensive warehouses/office space/employees/etc so that likely jacks up the price, whereas this is more of a distributed approach (using existing real estate that printer owners are already living in)
> Sounds an awful lot like WAI to me, but at least it's called a "Privacy Access Tokens" so it surely must be good...?

Google's PR strategy is to say "no need to worry, it's just like this Apple thing". But as Google themselves note in their explainer¹, they're quite different, and Google considers PAT insufficient for the kind of enforcement they intend to do.

For example, PAT is ultimately just "not a bot" attestation and so doesn't involve the exchange of device and browser environment data. In contrast, WEI needs that data to enable the kind of "DRM for the web" use cases we're reading about.

Are gas stations in Jersey not normally covered?
Basically yeah, and not just Apple, anything used by few hundreds of people will be considered “big tech”, so protocols, fediverse, operating systems, etc. will need to implement a back doors to check if the contents shared is licensed and adhering to whatever DRM they would have.
This begs the question of there being a "scourge" of child porn and terrorist propaganda. You're also assuming the UK's attack on encryption would do anything at all to combat either thing let alone end the presumed "scourge".

Strong encryption is the foundation of pretty much all online commerce. Without it little else is practical online. It's not up to the EFF to come up with solutions to made up or exaggerated issues.
> has profit been redefined by Marxists with some new "it's not profit when we do it" BS definition?

Profit as the excess retained by or on behalf of capital owners is not a definition created by Marxists, using it for other things which are seen as loosely similar to that central goal of the most important property relation in capitalism is a newer, expansive, metaphorical use.
It certainly costs them some sales, but not enough for them to care about.

Yes, you could obtain a marriage-based green card but because you are outside the U.S., you would need to go through the U.S. Embassy in Dublin and this process can take a year or longer. While waiting, you wouldn't receive a work permit. That benefit is only available if you apply while you are in the U.S. with USCIS.

That's not accurate.

There's often an early "tyre kicker" phase, with people signing up to explore a service. Or to ensure that others don't misappropriate well-known account handles.

User attrition / retention rates for sites, services, and apps are well-studied and closely watched.

E.g., "Retention rate on day 30 of mobile app installs worldwide in 3rd quarter 2022, by category"

General social media growth (or plateau) trends as of 2021 / Pew:

The highest retention rate listed is 11.3%, for the news category.
> We only need enough influence within the industry and regulatory to give a shit.

What exactly is this supposed to mean? All we have to do is control the government and the industry that we're complaining about, and we can win? They already have that. Doesn't that mean they already won?

> Keep that up and push for other companies to reject it or for regulation to stop it.

They are being paid to push in the opposite direction. You are paying to try to defeat them. Each of their victories brings them more money and influence, each of yours means you have to reset and construct an entirely new argument to defeat the same thing again, differently worded. The outcome is obvious.

And in this special case, Google needs no approval to take the web, because they bought Firefox and cooperate with Apple. There is no pressure that you can bring to a politician that will counteract the campaign funding, or access, or future employment, these awful companies can offer.

edit: This is a "why didn't the slaves all get together and end slavery" type argument. It's not cynical to resent the suggestion of the same tactics that have failed before so many times. Our problem is government, not any particular company.
This is in fact what happens in the human body.

For example, when you reach out to pick up a green can, your brain makes the decision to do the task but it's your spinal cord and peripheral nerves that carry out the detailed work – orienting the hand, managing grasp strength, controlling the arm movements etc. This process is mostly unconscious – you don't need to actively think about how to tense each muscle in the same way that an embedded controller wouldn't need to understanding the working of the entire robotic system to carry out its specific task.

Much like the model suggested, the human body communicates feedback across layers — this process is crucial to maintaining balance, coordination and effectively reacting to the environment. For instance, if your fingers touch a hot stove, the sensory receptors in your skin will immediately send a signal to your spinal cord and a reflex action will make you pull your hand back even before you consciously perceive that the stove is hot.
I’ve switched back and forth. Just had worse experience overall on android. Maybe I’ll try them in another few years. For a low budget I went through 3 androids and settled on a used iPhone which was waaay more stable.

> Macs just work.

Not anymore. The hardware quality has gone downhill hard.

My powerbook from 2004 still works fine (kind of too slow, so I don't use it, but works fine).

In my powerbook from 2021 the entire right side of ports died less than a year into it.

Bought a macbook air in late 2022, one of the usbc ports died just a few months into its life. Which reminds me I need to take it to the store and see if they'll fix it or if I'm SOL again.
Your right to hunt down child porn does not exceed my right to privacy. To have it otherwise is to live in a panopticon.
Thank you for the response Peter! Really decent of you to take the time to help us all. The process can be stressful, as I'm sure you know.
That’s also assuming that adding the fee with 6 months of notice won’t make people reduce their IP address usage to avoid the fee.
I think you are making a big and unjustified leap from "minimizing scheduled extracurriculars" in the post you're responding to to "won't be prepared at all."

And that's an especially dangerous assumption if you buy the original article here's claim that not doing that is a big problem for mental health.

I never liked it.

Think about it objectively for a minute as opposed to being a victim trapped in that system.

A stack overflow page starts with a code example that doesn’t work which has nothing to do with your code example that doesn’t work. It’s something you have to waste your cognitive capacity ignoring, There is frequently a large amount of confused rambling that could get you really confused if you take it too seriously.

You need one answer, a correct answer. There might be zero or there might be 100. If you are lucky one of the answers is right. If you are lucky you can find which one. If you are lucky a correct answer got voted to the top.

Then there are the silly little things like all the Python 2 code examples that would work in Python 3 if you put parenthesis after the print but nobody has done that.

SO is almost OK when it comes to questions like “How do I look up the length of a string in Java?” but you are much better off learning how to look up answers in the real manual because those are always right!

Then there is the meta-problem that you have a Spring configuration file that was written by coders (maybe even you) who got it where it is by cutting and pasting snippets of code from Stack Overflow. You need to deeply understand how Spring works to get out of this mess and you won’t get that from discussions on Stack Overflow!

Many of the problems where I want insight from other programmers is in the area of software selection such as “what static site generator should I use for my blog?” where a little bit of other people’s experience could save me months of suffering but you aren’t allowed that have those kind of high-leverage discussions on SO.

Keep the title, delete the question, delete all but the best correct answer, and then you have a good training set for an A.I. If you don’t do this you are training the A.I. to give wrong answers.
This is fresh considering the source. Harvard or not, we are talking about criticism from people that have never actually been in the trenches of running a business or leading under fire. I'm reminded of the Shaw quote “Those who can, do; those who can’t teach”

Just at a quick glance, I see a couple really obvious examples that show Musk's leadership effectiveness. Seeing as the Elon Musk "Twitter Chapter" of the book is barely off the first page, it seems ridiculous to draw definitive conclusions until we get to the end of the story.

It's too stressful!
Your comment is made in bad faith. Notably, you posted from a brand new account echoing the most inflammatory talking points that the government uses in support of eroding encryption. Either this is some blatant (and bad) astroturfing, or you've drunk the kool-aid from the government.

Nobody is here to defend child pornography or terrorism. But even accepting that they exist, those are a drop in the literal ocean of use cases for encryption relative to the overwhelmingly legal and productive and often necessary uses.

> They should come up with a useful alternative

We have a useful alternative - criminal laws. Make the criminal penalty a strong enough deterrent and you'll stop everyone except the most craven malfeasors (and those people will find ways to continue to disseminate their materials irrespective of encryption status).

Rather than accuse privacy supporters of being "stubborn", you should come up with a legitimate argument why ordinary, law abiding people should have to sacrifice their autonomy in service of an effectively phantom boogeyman.

Not really advice, but sharing my experience.

A family friend of ours gifted me U.S. Treasury bonds each year when I was young, before she passed away. I learned about saving and investing at a younger age partially because these and other financial instruments were given as gifts. I also received shares of stock and then learned about dividends and reinvesting those dividends. I cashed out the U.S. Treasury bonds for the down payment of my first house and I’m incredibly grateful for that assistance, thank you Auntie Hope <3.
For sure :)

Very similar things happen when investigating criminal cases. There's possibly hundreds or thousands of instances of some type of misconduct or improper arrest... but none of the defense attorneys with those sorts of cases will talk about it with the press because of the very real potential harms of talking with the press. Or the ones that do talk are too high level.. or they might have some ulterior motive like self-promotion. It's really hard to express how many issues are a direct result of lawyers understandably, but systematically not raising any public awareness about truly awful things.

Have you tried getting your data through CPRA requests? I'm out in Illinois and our law is pretty decent and not super familiar with CA's public records nuance, but it's really worth a try. What I know though is that California CPRA officers get away with a strange amount of abuse of the law. But even with that, you might be surprised what records are available. So if you do submit some requests, don't exactly expect it to be easy or immediate. Expect to be stonewalled, and need to sue at some point though. But IME public record suits are pretty hands-off (except when they're not..). And most of the lawyers I've worked with are upfront about what they will and won't litigate over.

One thing you'll find is that.. basically nobody is looking into most of the awful things you'd expect would have eyes. It's very likely you'll be the only one doing those requests, or incrementally identifying how to get what you want through multiple requests over months. But each step breaks new ground and turns into feedback loops if you can build a community around it.
How do you find that this relates to the article? Do you really think that hard work as a concept is a delusion?

Buy your own metaphor, a different seed planted and nurtured the same has a chance of success or failure. The fact that chances at all implies that the seed matters and not just the environment, otherwise any seed would be expected to have an identical outcome.

To speak plainly, children from the same parents with the same opportunities can and do have drastically different lives.

The crookedness the article speaks of is unpredictable and unique to every tree. Seeds planted in an orchard of the same soil do not produce identical trees
Hacker News would be immeasurably improved by removing the flag button entirely. That’s what the downvote button is for. Flag should be a message to a mod if there is something heinous like gore on the front page. It’s used as a censorship button here and that isn’t cool, especially in a place that is supposed to support well rounded discussion.
This sort of thing is why I think of the Android permission system as being "better than nothing", but not adequate.
They're telling us it's a scourge.

But I suspect it's a relatively tiny, albeit terrible, problem compared to breaking encryption, which isn't just about privacy but about every action over the internet.

I don't see that you can have it both ways; secure encryption and being able to inspect traffic. There's no alternative so it's either using other mechanisms to go after CSE and terrorist material, as currently happens allowing us to know about the scourge, or we may as well revert to everything being on http.
There might be a public charge issue. Either you and your wife would need to show enough liquid-ish assets or you would need to have a job offer from a U.S. company.
Building products and slowly grinding away at improving DAU is Meta's bread and butter. This has been the case with IG Stories vs Snap, now IG Reels vs Tiktok (IG Reels rev set to exceed tiktok as early as 2024 https://www.mbi-deepdives.com/meta2q23/). Meta is setting up the exact same playbook for Threads, and given their track record, I wouldn't bet against them.
That's exactly how Telegram growth. WhatsApp always had outages and some problems. With every problem, people used Telegram - and Telegram was better.

That's how Telegram have 700 million active users.
No, using azuread is storing your valuables in someone else's safety deposit box! The service exists not just for convenience because it is more secure than azure ad. 90%+ ransomwared orgs in my estimate are vicitims of onprem AD abuse!
>Google would probably do the same, but in this case they don't have to - because it is their OS. It is trivial to skip the google account if you want but it actually has its place in android.

No, it's not.
AOSP is free and open source OS that is completely functional without google's account or services.

>Samsung tricks you into depending on them for the same stuff as google.

Well yes, but either we give a pass to both of them or none. Giving a pass to google just because "they are the more popular one" is simply dellusional and puts unfair expectations on any1 who tries to challange the status quo of current market.

>Why on earth would I want to use one I didn't have to?

If you treat those companies as necessary evil, then you are correct, it's more logical to choose the path with the least ammount of "deals with the devils".

But at the same time, this aproach is anti-competative. You will always buy into the biggest vendor, because it gives you the most features.

>And above all, why would I tie my android experience to one vendor?.

But you are alrady doing that with google's experience. Samsung just gives you an alternative. Some people like it, others don't. But it's just a preference.

> Regardless, who should be bundling crap anyway? The OS vendor or the hardware vendor?

AOSP foundation is vendor of base android.
Google is vendor of google's android.
Samsung is vendoer of samsungs OneUI.
We are going to give google a pass literally just because they play a word game where they don't explicitly name pixels OS as "G-UI", like samsung does with their launcher? What?

>The hardware vendor is more than fine to write apps directly related to hardware features but other than that they should just fuck off.

But samsung doesn't markets itself as ONLY hardware vendor. They are software vendor as well, and their software is OneUI.

Just as google's software isn't AOSP, it's google android.

This whole distinction between hardware/software/OS is irrationall.
