Eh? No. No-one sensible would ever give out a loan on that basis.
Perhaps risk tolerance has remained the same, it's just that risk has gone high enough that it is outside of that risk tolerance. Taking on the task of raising a child when you can barely keep yourself fed is simply impossible from a risk assessment perspective. You are either not disclosing your full set of circumstances and they weren't as risky as you make them sound, or raised your child on the streets which most people would consider to be wildly irresponsible and bad for the child (I am assuming it is the former).

The X13 or X13s?
If you fail at hiring you have failed at the most important aspect of running a business. He is doing something or several things wrong, and there is no excuse. He can't blame anybody but himself for his troubles finding people. Just like you can't blame your competitors if you don't get customers. Hiring and training is a crucial part of running a business. Is he training young men to work for him, or is that "somebody else's job"?
No business has an absolute right to exist, if you can’t break even no one owes you anything.

And as a democratic society we have the right to set minimum standards for labor. We should do this with a realistic understanding of the outcome, but if some businesses become unworkable that’s fine.
While this may inspire some discussion, honestly this looks like a pretty boring, expected ruling. Effectively 1) YouTube and its users do indeed have a contract; 2) YouTube/Google lawyers, not being completely morons, have reserved considerable discretion to YouTube in associating with customers, how it moderates, and specifics in what services it offers; 3) There is no law to the contrary, and in fact the opposite, law supports this. The end.

First part is obvious, there is expressed offer/acceptance, mutual assent, consideration, legality, all the elements are there. Of course the ongoing relationship between YouTube and users of its services is contractual. Second part is, well, just read the ToS. They don't promise to put moderation decisions before some international committee or something. And they aren't offering a backup service. And to the third, acts of moderation are themselves expressive and First Amendment protected anyway, then on top of that 230 ensures YouTube is only considered the publisher of their own speech, not other people's speech, and do not lose liability protection if they exercise their 1A rights. Contract doesn't reserve anything to YT contrary to the law. Unless I'm missing something there isn't really anything else to it. High level distribution services make things more convenient for sure, but convenience is not a right. This isn't like a hard line monopoly common carrier disconnecting someone from the grid or net.

HN when governments agencies have little leverage to enforce rules: The violations are a rounding error to profits! We need to make the laws more stringent.

HN when EU passes laws that have significant teeth in them and let them actually enforce them: This is ridiculous overreach! It will kill innovation and make it impossible to do business there!

I would love to know what software stack, hardware, and uplink connections in total they utilize to accomplish a real-world 80k request per second throughput. How many instances do you guys think Amazon runs for its primary e-commerce front-end stack? In total, and per region? Assuming they have a multi-region rollout.

If it's the real-deal, and not like people saying "Bun.js can serve 65k req/s+ (cough cough to localhost,)" that's impressive.

But I never see anyone talk about real-world numbers. Just synthetic poopoo.

I think I read the article correctly, but I think it only talks about how they introduce "chaos engineering," I didn't recall them talking about how they actually handle a volume of traffic like 80k req/s.
Another alternative to cracking was to use something like DAEMON Tools to emulate the CD in the drive with an .iso so you could legitimately play multiplayer games without having to deal with stupid CD checks.

That's not a particularly productive reply. Thanks for your input, I guess.
Still worse. Mechanical keys make the sound/tactile bump at the point of actuation. There is significant latency between that and your eyeballs, about as much between that and your ears (USB keyboard HID is typically polled at 10ms, Bluetooth is easily over 50ms).
The article can be as nuanced as it wants but if the title calls the thing a "hacking device" that's a fair thing to criticize
Taking a slightly different angle than most of the comments here, what if there really is a worker shortage?

Trucking seems, like trades or certain manufacturing jobs, to be in the category of labor historically done by men to provide for a family and not, e.g. for the sake of itself like medicine.

Married men, according to the BLS, work about 10.6% more weekly than unmarried men [1].

And as men without college educations are increasingly less likely to get married [2], you’d expect to see less total hours worked, and thus effectively less workers, in exactly these fields.

In other words, there may be a real shortage in labor in the sense that society has come to rely upon a group of people’s willingness to perform this labor at a given level of compensation, but the reason why that group of people was willing to do so has been invalidated. Thus there’s a shortage relative to an expectation which will have to get resolved one way or another.

A neat trick that I discovered at university was that VMS' email system used 'sparse' disk blocks for your personal mailbox file, and immediately after forcing a rebuild of your mailbox by compacting it, you'd have dozens of sparse, uninitialised, disk blocks in your file - which you naturally had read access to.

Since compacting mail was the most common activity on a time shared university system, the odds were a good number of those uninit'ed blocks would be other people's erased blocks, and thus you could essentially read other people's emails just by sitting and compacting your email, then hex viewing the raw mailbox file.
I think you're right that it would be difficult for the FCC to precisely define exactly when security updates are required. This is a problem in law generally, one that is usually resolved by imposing a reasonableness standard. Maybe here, a vulnerability needs to be patched if it might reasonably be expected to allow an attacker to take control of a device, or to do so when combined with other known or unknown vulnerabilities. Or maybe a different standard. Then when enforcement/lawsuits come around, the judge/jury/regulator has to evaluate the reasonableness of the manufacturer's actions in light of that standard. We'd love to see commentary on the record as to what the right legal standard might be.

Totally, and exceptionally common. It was popular in the '80 and the early '90.
The Lockheed's SAVI RFID tags were all historically 433mhz, and on every military shipping container...

There is no security for these tags, so if you can speak to them you can write to them... thus if you had a flipper, one could erase/fake payload on the tag...

The problem is that one doesnt know what the tag data corresponds to in the inventory systems - so the worst one may do is scramble all the tags such that a valid reader would never be able to determine what was in the containers... and one could use a flipper on a drone to fly over a supply bulk of containers and render finding supplies via RFID impossible - or one could copy and paste data from crates, thus making all reads wrong....
Whenever I see a comment like that I always wonder how it's possible that someone might actually challenge what we all know well and experienced multiple times throughout our adult lives.

Trolling or genuine question from a person that never witnessed what everyone else did?
So what? I'm suggesting pricing in the externalities.

It's not a problem that you want to release a ton of CO^2, if scrubbing and permanently sequestering a corresponding ton of CO^2 is included in the price.

Instead the EU wants to micro-manage the market, and only address some sources of pollution.

They're not banning gasoline engines in general, and notably doing nothing about non-automotive gasoline engines, which relatively speaking are much bigger polluters.
I mean, I guess? Some people like small commits, and most of them looked reasonable to me (renaming one thing at a time); criticizing commit style seems like bike-shedding, anyways.

It's what rich sheltered people think, which describes most of the online population.

And I'm not saying that as a bad thing, necessarily; if anything, it's probably worse to think in the neurotic PTSD terms of defending your bike to the death because you saved a long time for it and can't afford to replace it. Moreso when you can trivially afford to replace it and the person stealing it is probably in a much worse global situation than you.
I would agree, but I think that after some period of time, it will become known that the price of diamonds have dropped dramatically. This means that if a man wants to signal that he's spent a chunk of change on a ring, he'll either need to go with a much larger stone than before, or he'll need some sort of external signifier. That could be a certificate that it's a natural diamond, or that the setting is somehow super fancy.
While the ADL's previous relationship with Twitter to enforce shadowbanning is kind of a spicy accusation, the actual damages here are almost certainly wrong.

In theory, markets for direct response ads should be somewhat efficient - you are paying for clicks, views, traffic, etc. So even if the ADL was behind some kind of conspiracy with major brands, you would see someone scooping up the ads at a slight discount.

The truth is that most ads were probably ineffective to begin with. Big brands were overpaying on ads as part of "awareness" programs, and probably because the ad departments at these companies were personally using Twitter a lot and wanted their brands to be on Twitter for personal reasons (if you don't think marketing departments are so vain, you should hear how many billboards are bought just because they sit on travel routes of company executives).

Musk is now himself hammering in this idea. He's not making a case that Twitter has a valuable set of engagement metrics that are currently going untapped - and current ad buyers are getting a crazy good deal. He's admitting that Twitter's valuation was based on Twitter being a cool place for vain brands to dump money and now it's not.
(Going with the assumption that it's purely due to salary)

If you adjust the salary for new-hires, you'll have to also adjust every employees salary otherwise it becomes unfair to existing employees. Lets give a raise to everyone in America to match inflation isn't really a tenable strategy. Most small businesses would simply go under if they had to do that for 50-100 people. I believe this is the unfortunate reality of many businesses in the US which are struggling already.

I think this is oversimplifying things.

Is finishing the dinner more important than applying a patch that fixes actively exploited bug that locks your oven into cleaning mode and burns everything inside into ash over the next three hours? Or something that disables the safety checks and lets the oven overheat and burn your house down?

(Granted, the latter shouldn't physically be possible because it should have physical temperature killswitches etc.)

People always (understandably so!) consider software updates to be annoyances; but especially when you give an example like _an oven_, the potential for _catastrophic_ failures is too great.

Forgive my redundancy as I am surely saying what has already been said
in other comments I've not yet read.

I have one cast-iron, non-negotiable relation with IoT objects:

No IoT device should ever hide what it is doing from me.

If it lives in my house, car or environment it is not acceptable
for me to install something which then tries to hide its operations.

I don't care who it's made by or how much they think they are "helping
me".

Whether by encrypted tunnelling, side channels, secure enclaves or
whatever devious shitfuckery, if I can't put Wireshark on my network
and put a name and purpose to every operation then I'll track down the
origin and eliminate it.

Further, I am simply not interested in any "arguments" claiming this
is "necessary". It is not. Profit, spying and control are always the
ulterior motive, and they are unacceptable. Do not allow anyone to
pretend they are "security" and hide behind that word. Security for
whom, from whom and to what end....

Also there should be no "embedded function" which I cannot turn off
with confidence, perhaps by a physical jumper or switch. No IoT device
should ever reset itself to insecure defaults.

Thanks for enquiring and good luck in your difficult work.

One of the advantages of money is that the enjoyment is implicit in the exchange, with no explicit acknowledgment necessary.

The enjoyment derived by the watcher must exceed that of having $100 and using that money in the future, or he wouldn’t have paid out. The disgust of the eater is more than compensated by the $100, or he wouldn’t accept that payment and do the job.

Both coprophages have thus derived utility from the exchange. From an economic standpoint, eating shit is just a form of working.

> We might even ask, why do schools offer "useless boutique" majors that aren't financially lucrative?

- Ideology/institutional pressures/other nonfinancial factors (many of these universities are going bankrupt)

- They want to trap their students in debt forever

- Hoping for bailout from government or private donors

> Why do you think it is that students choose "a useless boutique major"?

My wording was too harsh. Not all non-lucrative majors are useless (though many are). Here are a few reasons:

- Ideology

- Really drawn to a particular field (ex. "starving artist" who doesn't care if they have to eat ramen every day, if that means they can practice their calling)

- Belief in the old ideal of a well-rounded education. Unfortunately, this ideal is getting less and less achievable, as universities become more expensive (explosion in number of administrators) and more ideological, even as the economy. class system is less and less able to support the social classes that traditionally valued this.

I proposed a preference for systemic solutions over building a soft dependence on white hat hackers.

This benefits society as a whole because it clearly delineates actions with intent. If doing X is always not allowed, then all you need to do is find people doing X and you can hold them accountable.

If you allow or disallow the same activity based on merit of intent, then you increase the level of plausible deniability to everyone who gets caught.

I am not proposing security through ignorance. I am proposing security through consent. Nowhere did I say anything about not allowing research, I only said that if you do it unsolicited then it should be considered a threat.

So, we could systemically allow for a right to research that involves notice to the company and their consent for you to test. It would not hinder white hat at all. If businesses resist for selfish reasons we can expand the law to prevent them from denying requests without a legitimate reason. For example, maybe it is okay for them to deny a request from an ex-employee with a grudge who has sent the company aggressive emails. Idk, maybe there are no valid reasons to deny. The point is we can create a framework that promotes security development above the table with all parties involved. And my proposition is that if that is possible then it should be preffered.
