jq is amazing, and I'd like it even more if it supported CBOR too. The forks are just too finicky and are quickly abandoned, and the format is basically binary JSON.
It was caught, but it took far too long and almost tanked us closing on this house. Being 20 days into a 30 day closing window to learn your mortgage originator is misrepresenting you internally is a massive problem.

Even worse was my wife and I were sensing something was off and asked questions like "You know he doesn't work that profession. Are we still going to be eligible for this loan?"
The best way to read terrible fiction is to join a critique group and read other amateurs. This is good because you can run across different levels of writers:

* People who have no business writing and have no idea what they're doing. These are not going to give you much, which is why you want to keep to groups that have some gatekeeping.

* Beginners who are not that talented but can develop skill. These people are good because you can see what it looks like to go from nothing to something, even if that something isn't great

* Untalented people who are workhorses and can do the job: these people are probably the most valuable "bad writers"

* Talented people who suck. These people are also amazing because you can see the power of skill as it develops

* Talented people who are very good. (These won't be in your group)

But really all this about "analyze why the book sucks" is a red herring. What is far more instructive is understanding why something that you don't like is appealing. If you can find what works in something you don't like, it's a lot more likely that you'll be able to understand that technique.

Best selling thrillers with bad dialog and paper characters? Great. That means you can focus on the pacing and plot and understand why the book works despite its obvious flaws. That's harder though because it isn't just stroking your own ego by saying "aw I could do that"
I've had a similar thing trying to learn 'what not to do' from various management types I've had the displeasure to report to.

It's the longest possible path to learning how to do it right. There are an infinite number of wrong options, but precious few right ones. Just not stepping on the same land mines that someone else did step on doesn't mean you'll avoid the rest of the ones spread throughout the minefield. Much better to follow and learn the path of someone who knows the clear path.

The avoidance of specific bad can also equal bad. Just a different flavour.
Not at all surprised.

At my old company, we had a theory that most of our spearphishing was coming from LI. So we tested it.

I had permission to create a completely fake person, fake role, fake experience, etc. And they got a corpo email. It took 2 days from LI profile creation.

After that, our CTO gave out a recommendation to the company to set their current employer to private to prevent spearphishing, and to change it back after leaving the company.
Yeah the model they based it on had a lot of flaws, a lot of which got called into question after Gulf War 1 fires in Kuwait. Not a ton of research since then, either.
Why, exactly?

(It's also not what they are doing, since FTC filed against Amazon)

Not if you have multiple email accounts. Many times these codes reset in just a few minutes, you should try to avoid forcing users to spend time logging into every single email they can remember just to wait for an email to pop into one of them. You can show a few characters of an email or the first character of the domain to give a lot of info out in relative safety.

Everything is about tradeoffs, and the only objectively wrong answer is this dogmatic "never do $X" nonsense.
Vi is in POSIX, it has been open source since 2002, and some version of it truly is on every UNIX system.
I never understood why "nobody could be blamed for their actions" is some kind of argument against determinism. Neither the perpetrator of the act nor the punisher can choose. Why does the punisher exist outside the deterministic system but the perpetrator does not? The perpetrator's logic is the same: if I do this, the punisher has no choice but to punish me. Everyone is along for the ride. The very desire to control the actions of others within some "moral" framework also exists within the system.

As danbruc said elsewhere in this thread:

Even in a deterministic universe you still have to deal with criminals in one way or another, and you have to make the rules and implement them

A moral framework that this happens (deterministically) under doesn't exist to undermine the deterministic nature of the criminals, but in direct deterministic consequence of the existence of criminals.

The state machine of the universe has led to my desire for a moral framework to punish criminals, the existence of criminals, the criminal acts, and the application of a moral framework to recognize and punish criminals. Under determinism, these are all intertwined.

I see it as free will exists (if it does by some definition) at the time a decision is made based on the inputs (the state of the universe) at that point. "Doing something different in the same situation" (having choice) is impossible because "the same situation" is impossible because the universe continues to run. Given the same input (the universe), why would you "choose differently"? You have no reason to. If output is not based on input, the output is arbitrary and random, which also undermines the existence of free will.
If they had gone after Google 10 years ago, then sure, but I think you're right.
The only place where I can really see a monopoly is in online advertising, it's not complete but pretty close.

”there is reason to believe” is a very low standard that falls short of what most people use in life. When there is no proof one way or the other, belief is a personal choice. But when one theory is systematically pushed against all others, I think it is normal for thinking people to subject it to critical scrutiny.

In any other area of life, we’d require this if we wanted to be objective. For example, when solving murders, the idea that they can only be committed by men (ie random mutstion and natural selection) might lead to problematic cases (ie wings) where there is no clear scenario that fits all the data.

One might question the underlying premise (all murders have always been commited by men) and suspect a woman. Suppose this leads to a bunch of plausible hypotheses that a woman committed the specific murder in question. But a trained “detective” could concoct lots of plausible-sounding just-so stories of how various men did it, instead.

In this situation, let’s take a step back and see what we have. We have just-so stories, with some connection of reality, because they have been selected out of possible stories to have that quality. We also have evidence against each story. Let’s say that in a specific case, all stories about men doing murders have a lot more evidence against them than the woman stories. What then?

The situation here is actually more empirical than neo-Darwinianism because we have compelling evidence and argument for men committing murders which we have observed. We know we have been able to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt many times. Whereas we have not been able to observe how speciation occurs in the vast, vast majority of (perhaps all) cases. We just know it occurs.

So to say that it occurs excludiveky by method X is simply a hypothesis. And you can’t prove the hypothesis by concocting fanficul just-so stories and claim victory because they have some connection to reality!

Perhaps the reason this isn’t scientific is because the stories have been selected to fit the conclusion, rather than being picked from the evidence in the environment. If you are exercising selection on the side of the story to such an extent, then you can find “reason to believe” anything anywhere. Just like a Marxist or a Freudian psychoanalyst. The theory is unfalsifiable!
If you truly feel that way, then don’t use Google or YouTube?
Chrome gets a fresh look and new features for its 15th birthday
I work a lot with startups/small companies, but not necessarily tech savvy ones. They have a hard time understanding at first why they are so targeted with phishing attempts. Often times, leadership comes from big roles at larger companies, and they are anchored in their previous experience at big company. They don't understand why anyone would bother targeting little co.

I try my best to explain why little co is actually a far more ideal target. They are hiring quickly, and unlike at a big company, it is likely that even junior new employees might expect to have some interaction with the CEO. An email supposedly from the CEO at big company would be obvious spam for most employees, but not at a startup. And the information exists to make these targeted emails believable, and IT ALL COMES FROM LINKEDIN.

As soon as a new hire updated their employer to little co on LinkedIn, they would be targeted relentlessly.
> What you’re proposing is literally anarchy, and nothing good comes from that.

I am not proposing anything. I am surprised I have to say this, but it is best to read the comments before replying.
You can logically continue that argument all the way to its conclusion. If Jobs can be shipped to Mexico, why not the entire corporation? If the only thing that matters is cost, clearly LCOL countries should be leading the world in tech innovation. But they don’t.
I have an email that is firstname@lastname.tld when I tell it to people, or tech support they always first assume I’m an idiot and really meant to say firstlast@gmail.com

The tld isn’t com there’s no g in the entire address, but people have a hard time understanding that such a thing is a real email address. I do happen to have that gmail address also, but my name is uncommon and not the easiest to spell, so as long as they get my last name and tld right I’ll get the email if they send it to my vanity domain.

The LLM Ecosystem: Quantization, RAG, Agents, and More
It’s a fallacy because it’s based on some kind of idealism and not reality. Let’s see how it works for other aspects of life:

“Unless cops ticket every single speeder, they should not ticket anyone”

“Unless doctors can cure a patient’s cancer, they should not set a broken bone”

“Unless you’re going to track down everyone you’ve ever wronged, you should never apologize.”

I don’t think those work. The reality is that doing something is almost always better than doing nothing. And in a complex business and legal environment, insisting on simultaneous and equal action really is suggesting we do nothing.

Regulators should go after companies that break laws. Someone looking at company X should never, ever decide to forego enforcement because they people looking at company Y are not taking action.
One of the worst, and best reading experiences I get is anything long-form Frédéric Beigbeder. It's all over the place, always too much, showing off (both in style, dialogues, plots...), inconsistent, I find myself shaking my head or sighing most of the book, every damn time.

And then, the bastard manages to turn his stories around and do something often good, sometimes great of it. Not sure whether it's on purpose or he's just a short-story stretching too much... But if you read most of it, it's very very bad. But add the endings or the small moments of grace and suddenly it's great. Ugh.
I love to look at the profiles of my coworkers to see how they describe what they do at work. I don't tend to do a very good job of "selling" myself, so it's pretty enlightening how others do it.
IANAL but AIUI US antitrust law only applies when a monopoly is acquired/maintained via prohibited means. Having a monopoly position in itself is necessary but not sufficient to be considered illegal by US courts.

Off-white is not a special colour, it's typical of biological material that is neither pigmented nor unusually transparent.

So it might be simply a non-evolved default that is good enough to fool blind termites, themselves similarly off-white because they don't care about the visual appearance of their comrades.
complex can be a synonym for disorder and it can also be a synonym for structure. in this instance, the clear meaning is disorder.

Technically, Google Ads is making all the money. Google search and YouTube are more or less just funnels for Google Ads. I'm not sure how Alphabet has everything setup and if Google Ads revenue that originates from search is booked to the search division, but in reality, everything is just ways for you to look at Google Ads.
All for curation of components, as part of developing reliable, secure, resilient software. I just don't think you gain a lot of reliability, security or resilience by mandating a concrete&steel OS foundation. For sure, a shoddy, insecure, duck-tape application on some homebrew Linux can be ported RedHat just fine. There is nothing preventing insecure use of "Military Grade" AES256 encryption.

You just can't certify your way to resilient software.

I just wish Microsoft would let me use any other authenticator app instead of their garbage one. So now I've got one from Google with 99% of my accounts on it, one for Microsoft for one of 4 MS accounts, and one for the USG for IRS/etc. Waste of space and poorly-duplicated functionality.
What people miss about this deal is that the city was literally losing money on parking meters before the deal because it was so incompetently managed. Chicago retains all the revenue from tickets, which are much more frequent now, so overall the city is making a lot more money from street parking today than it used to.

Now, ideally the meters would have been run correctly with municipal ownership, but that was apparently not within their capabilities.

This looks innocuous. It lets them consolidate cases of “substantially similar nature brought against either party by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations.”

Each side picks eight cases while the others are held. Once those sixteen are decided the rest are resolved, collectively, taking those sixteen cases’ resolutions into account. At each step, you can dispute the characterisation, and Zoom pays the arbitration fees.

Nobody’s case is ignored. It’s to avoid this [1].

Rewriting history and books is actually exactly what's happening in Florida under ostensibly fascist rule, which is precisely what Orwell was referring to.

I don't want my street named after a slave owner, period. No, it doesn't destroy history to change it. History recorded safely, in many other places, is exactly why street names and books are being updated - to include more accurate, less sugar-coated retellings of history.

If you have a problem with the increased scrutiny and exposure of how deeply our systematic failures run, you're the problem.

That sucks about the bank employee, but I'm surprised that you're surprised that everything is visible. LinkedIn isn't like Facebook or Instagram, where many people would prefer to just interact with people they know—its entire point is to have a public profile that potential employers and recruiters can stumble upon! If you're not interested in that, you probably don't want a LinkedIn profile at all.

Incidentally, this is a large part of why the actual social portion of LinkedIn is so bizarre: everyone is aware that things posted on there are associated with their real name and resume, so it's developed a weird, sanitized, corporate atmosphere.

That's very true, but that's another chicken and egg problem. GitHub won't add you if you don't have the numbers (they'd just implement this themselves, if anything).
As you found out, I dont think LinkedIn offers controls to restrict what logged in users can view.

I think they used to, but they slowly removed those privacy-respecting features when they had pressure to grow aggressively (like Facebook).

IIRC, I think it started around when they became a public company and the stock was underperforming.
Worth noting that the Unix shell itself is not a "built-in". The kernel is agnostic about the user interface, which is left entirely to userspace programs to implement. (That was one of Unix's major innovations.)
