>If someone starts running a meth lab out of your unlocked cellar, at what point do you become culpable for not knowing?

Are you implying that the property owner is liable because they neglected to lock the cellar, or because they weren't aware a crime was taking place there?

If the former, isn't that as clear an example of victim blaming as telling people to carry firearms/protection if they don't want to be sexually assaulted?

In a civil society, it is not the responsibility or duty of the victim to set up security measures to prevent themselves from being victimized. It is the responsibility and duty of the culprit to not commit those unlawful crimes in the first place.

Bringing the analogy back to security - who is guilty of a crime when a ransomware attack happens, the victim, or the criminal (who obtained unauthorized access, and used that access to perform extortion)?
No problem, it's my pleasure.

Yeah, I lost all interest in Bridge when I found out the people who play it hate 100% of the interesting parts and had outlawed them, and that every time someone comes up with another cool approach, they outlaw that, too.

Initially learning the game it was like “oh wow, that feature of the game has some really cool implications! This is amazing!” but then reading about how real bridge tournaments run, yeah, they crafted the rules to remove every single one of those cool implications.

[EDIT] to be fair, the basic rules would also result in a terrible game as soon as people got too good at exploiting them. I just think they’ve managed to find another way to ruin the game while keeping it technically playable.
Just for knowledge sake: you are correct that there are 4 wires:

1 - hot 1 120 v
2 - hot 2 120 v
3 - neutral
4 - ground

The hot 1 and 2 are 180 degrees out of phase with each other which is why 240v appliances can consider having those 2 wires (and at least the neutral) to be a 240v appliance.

And to be more pedantic about it, the ground is not provided not by the power company but the ground. I have 3 lines coming from the grid to my pole, line 1, 2 and the neutral that is created by the transformer. The ground comes from my ground - a long copper wire that goes a few feet down and back up. All ground connections in the (future) house will go there. Ground is also bonded with neutral at the box on my pole.
That's a good list, thanks. I'd be interested to know what the experience is like between a 120V hair dryer and a 240V model. I don't have enough hair to worry about such things, but my wife does, and it seems like her hair dryer gets hot enough that she usually turns it down a bit anyway.

The 'industrial' level appliances are probably less of an issue, because the wiring run is limited and you can customize it however you need to. I could go down and buy a 36kW electric tankless water heater today and wire it up without any difficulty. Though it would probably be worth upgrading my 200A panel in that case.

Ranges sound like they're probably pretty similar. Typical modern electric ranges in the US are about 10kW.

Three phases would be handy for reducing the cost of wiring, though. Cost me $1500 USD just for the wire when I ran four new circuits last year. Couple of them were 50A, which is partly why it was so expensive, but mostly it's just that copper is $$$. Any bigger than 60A and I'd switch to aluminum.

I've definitely encountered security teams that thrash between different broken policies. For instance, one employer simultaneously had these two policies:

- All developer laptops must be able to log into prod

- You must type a 2FA pin each time you access the test environment, and that includes nightly automation scripts.

I imagine they'd love to run a thing that detected and blocked scripted access to the test environment, but allowed it in production.

(In case it isn't obvious, I agree that corporate security teams shouldn't use strange network monitoring heuristics to interfere with common engineering and ops workflows.)
I wonder if that factors in the health and ecological effects of atrazine, neonicotinoids, glyphosate, and other substances. Many of their effects are the same as the effects of the other substances being discussed ITT.

Yup, and people actually think crypto is viable.
Ok I'm going to make this even darker: The metric system sucks for non-scientific usage, especially using Celsius for room or weather temps. Idk why Europeans (and other continents) insist on using something with such low granularity and weird usable ranges. 0F = prob not going outside, 100F = close to highest temp you'll see all year, 56C = highest outdoor temperature ever on Earth. In the 70s (F) = warmish weather, in the 60s = coolish weather, in the 20s (C) = either cool or hot. Digital thermostats add 0.5 increments if you set them to C mode, lol. Meanwhile KPH is too granular, while 0-100MPH is all you need for cars outside of racing. Divisibility into meters etc is pointless, cause it's not like I need to compare a road trip length to the height of a person.

No surprise that basing your units on the physical properties of water doesn't give you very human-friendly results. Their only good unit is kilograms/grams. Edit: actually not even that.
Congrats on the launch! Curious to learn what specific use case you have seen around observability of LLM apps which are not covered by standard observability tools like DataDog, SigNoz, etc

Yep, and the Breezometer homepage now redirects to Google’s map platform page (subpages still seem to work, such as https://www.breezometer.com/air-quality-map/air-quality/unit...) and they had previously announced plans to sunset the Breezometer app in September.

Breezometer is also the air quality data source for Apple Maps and I’m sure other weather apps too, so assuming the pricing is comparable there’s probably a decent business here just from existing customers.

Might be out of date because I bought it 5 years ago I think but Botvac at least my model (D8 I believe) has excellent room navigation using LIDAR and can run completely offline if you don’t mind turning it on manually.

Not sure how bad it is privacy wise if you connect the app etc. but I chose it because it uses floor level LIDAR when Roomba at the time pointed a camera at the celling and numbed around to build a map.

Yes, this sort of thing is harder with smaller firms and I never tried more than 2-3 weeks when I was an analyst at small firms. Could probably do the same thing in my current role but work and personal travel have been sufficiently intertwined I've never really tried.

> HFTs and hedge funds are profitable because stuff isn't actually priced in.

HFT firms and hedge funds often have data or other information that retail investors don't have access to, so that's not an apples to apples comparison.

> if you believe the fall will be as fast as the rise, put options rarely price that in.

That's not what "priced in" means. Unless you have information that others don't, there is no reason to believe that your bet is any more likely than anyone else's. So in that sense, it is priced in based on the probability (according to the broader market) of it actually happening.
Does anyone know any SSH clients that support line-buffering of input?

I.e. where what you type doesn't get transmitted until you hit or click return/send?

I had one of these clients (but for telnet) back in more active MUD gaming days but haven't seen it with the few SSH clients I've used since... but always thought that would be a good defense to SSH keystroke timing data leakage, and potentially superior to this 20ms delay approach mentioned in this article, at least for some usage scenarios.

(Although now that I think about it, ideally you might want it to also transmit when someone hits tab so you could still have linux shell autocomplete...)

Your example doesn't make sense though given the context. You can't just light a car on fire for filming purposes. You're going to need to at the very least petition the local government, get a permit, and follow safety protocols that will likely include the presence of the fire department.

This reminds me of frivolous lawsuits. A doctor sees someone needing medical attention. The doctor performs CPR, break some ribs in the process, but ultimately saves their life. The person who would have otherwise died, sues the doctor for breaking their ribs while completely ignoring the good will that saved them from certain death.

> They provide faster and more cost efficient liquidity, thus "bringing down the spread" which will push out maybe not all but certainly the lesser privileged conventional traders. This is foremost negative for the effected traders and not per se for the public but as the pessimist that i am, i cannot help it but see it as just another way of market consolidation, of monopolization in the worst case.

They are only "pushing out" other liquidity providers. If you are a medium/long term investor you are not competing with HFTs. Yes, if you want to be day trader HFTs might make your life harder, but I think from society's point of view that's fine.

> The only way to seriously compete with such HFTs, is to do it as they do, which requires the same physical accesses to the markets. Previously, the access to valuable (insider) information was a privilege for slow traders and a way to get an edge. Speed and algorithms are imo just a new privilege, enabled by technology.

> The simple reason why insider trading is illegal, because it puts other marketeers at a disadvantage, they have no means to compensate. The same is true for HFT. You cannot rent the rack next to the markets machines when its already occupied.

There is no principle that all market participants must been on equal footing. That would be impossible to enforce, and counterproductive to boot.
If you are a slow (non HFT) trader at a big fund or bank you also have a lot of advantages over a guy doing it from home: better financing rates, more market access, a whole infrastructure to provide you with information and analysis, etc. Should that be made illegal as well?

What about if you are just a better trader? Should you be somehow given a handicap so others can compete with you?

As I said in another reply, in every field of human activity, professionals are advantaged over hobbyists, and that's fine.

You start writing the abstraction the first time you duplicate, so that you don’t end up with this mess down the road.

I would like my lunch and eat it too:

- I agree grid solar is far cheaper, and it should be aggressively pursued.

- but home solar is weirdly expensive, almost regulatory capture-ish. There's no way utilities should be getting panels that cheap but the rooftop stuff is so expensive.

IMO rooftop solar is simply another path to reduced carbon that should be equally emphasized: you should get solar power anywhere and everywhere it can be placed. The economics will sort them out as solar panels go through the next cost improvement and technology waves (perovskite+silicon, bigger factories, etc).

Rooftop/home solar reduces the grid infrastructure impact of EVs. It aligns with air conditioning / heating peaks on hot days to alleviate brownouts. If you have a disaster that brings down grid power for days, it provides a usable power base for people to survive. If you have home solar + an EV, your household can survive gasoline supply outages in addition to grid power outages.

But I'm a quote-Lazard-LCOE all over the place (btw 150$/kwhr is the low end of nuclear power costs), so obviously home solar needs to be improved. I simply don't see how grid can be one-sixth the cost of home solar. The panels are basically the same. The inverter may be a bit more expensive. I don't think that even includes storage.

Something stinks.

True, but that "95% of people" part is key. The auditability of open source doesn't matter (matters less?) to non-technical audiences because they don't have the knowledge, time, and/or wherewithal to audit the code themselves. As a result, they have to defer to a third party to do the auditing.

At best, a truly independent third party auditor has a mild philosophical incentive to recommend an open-source product over a closed-source one of similar quality. In practice, it's far more common for third party "stamps of approval" to be meaningless gold stars purchased by corporations to aid in marketing their product. A great example of this is the iF Design Award.

I think one example where duplication > abstraction is in tests. I personally find tests that have a ton of extra helper classes/functions to do stuff like set up fixtures or do assertions to be painful to deal with. Taken to an extreme you end up with a mini test framework that obscures the actual test cases and is as hard to understand as the code in question.

I'm not against shared test fixtures or some utility functions, but IMHO, it's better to have some duplication but clearer tests.

>or because they weren't aware a crime was taking place there?

If someone is running a meth lab out of your cellar for a year, and you don't notice the smell, the power bill, the people coming and going, at what point are you no longer able to claim ignorance? If your answer is: you can claim ignorance indefinitely, what is preventing someone from just letting a meth lab be run from their basement and taking cash on the side? If the police can't find the cash, you're just not guilty?

>It is not the responsibility of the victim to set up security measures to prevent themselves from being victimized.

It is ABSOLUTELY the responsibility of the "victim" to not create an environment that FACILITATES crime. If you leave a gun unsupervised and unlocked on your front step, and a neighbor kid "steals" the gun off your front steps and proceeds to shoot and kill their friend, you are going to jail despite you being the "victim" of theft. Your internet connection in this instance is the loaded gun when your systems are being used in DDoS attacks.

Right, so I guess in your eyes the only people who should be allowed to retire are the ones who can afford it? I guess this is along the same lines of the only wealthy people are entitled to education and healthcare.

Anyway, you’re wrong with regards to removing pension schemes. Look at Australia with compulsory superannuation. The government forces people to save up enough money to put them over a threshold where they won’t be entitled to a pension. Thankfully, this is fully paid for by employers. The UK is going the same way but sadly more of a user-pays type scenario. Not difficult at all and only takes about 50 years before the majority of the population is ineligible for whatever pension still exists, but it is still there for people who fall through the cracks. No need to remove the pension at all - just price out the wealthy.

Most power supplies do 100-240V so they can be used in multiple countries. You might be able to find cable to connect it to 240V plug, or could wire one up. But there would be no advantage to using 240V.

The only advantage for 240V is higher power. All desktop PSUs top out at 1800W because of the 120V 15A limit. There are server PSU that have higher power limits that would need to use 240V to reach the higher limit.
This sounds like a ploy to justify selective enforcement against whoever the regulators don't like at any given moment.
