That's not quite accurate based on the filings. Rather it should read that ARM has existing agreements with a number of companies, Amazon, Apple, Samsung, even Nvidia.

The ARM architecture is so ubiquitous that everyone wants a piece. I kind of think of ARM as a DMZ: The business model of licensing IP to a broad range of clients means that a lot of companies have a vested interest in ARM remaining a neutral party. We've seen with Nvidia and others that ARM isn't a clean acquisition target, so now everyone gets a place at the table, and thus license security for the long term. It's a bit similar to OpenAI, and how I think that in today's market, no regulator would allow a major tech company to acquire them.

This is a rather strange take. In 2013, Hong Kong was a very different place than today, with none of the China stigma.

True, but that wasn't the case with Theranos. Every domain expert knew that you couldn't possibly analyse everything using a drop of blood, because blood is not homogeneous, so one drop from your left arm is not necessarily the same as another drop from your right arm. This is a fundamental limitation of human anatomy, not something to do with the current state of technology.
I don't see how this could work, unless they're using some sort of tamper proof perceptual hash (does such an algorithm exist?). If they change any of the pixels in their edits, it's not going to match the original signature. If they compress it to jpeg it'll have a different signature. And nobody's going to request the huge RAW files for every photo.

So this scheme can work to ensure that you're seeing the Reuters published version, not that Reuters itself didn't edit it after the camera took it.

You should read that article about how y’all got duped into buying diamonds as tokens of your love. It’s enlightening.

The marketing seems better than the product. With the tutorial it's a lot of setup and you eventually get to the component page where it doesn't really say how it works. https://docs.astro.build/en/tutorial/3-components/2/

I feel like it's more clear what's going on under the hood with SvelteKit, Nuxt, Next.js, Remix, Solid Start, and other ones I've looked at. However I was starting to get a little familiar with Astro, and already a new major version. It feels rushed.

I'll see what happens with Astro 3, I'm not saying I don't like it, just that the marketing is more impressive to me than what I've seen in the tutorials I've tried following thus far.

Also I think it might be time to make it so repos can link to syntax highlighting and be highlighted with them using tools such as GitHub and vscode until you specify one manually. That way new syntaxes can be supported more rapidly. They could be run with WebAssembly to sandbox them.

" The Chinese government made the final decision to allow Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, to leave Hong Kong on Sunday, a move that Beijing believed resolved a tough diplomatic problem even as it reaped a publicity windfall from Mr. Snowden’s disclosures, according to people familiar with the situation."

> Be smart and split everything down the middle

That only works if both partners have similar income, similar working times, and also split household work equally.

Most relationships are not like that, especially when kids are involved, but often even before that. So you often have one partner work more while the other takes care of most of the household. This leads to a situation where one partner is financially dependent on the other.

Marriage laws are supposed to protect the dependent partner in that case.

See [1] (from 1:14:43). The difference was Binney's system (ThinThread) being designed to quickly filter out most data and retain only a relatively small amount of targeted data. The result being the target had to be specified before the data could be collected. The other system (Trailblazer) was designed to capture and retain as much data as possible, and allow targeting to occur against this enormous buffer after the data had been captured.

10 years on, Snowden remains arguably the most important whistleblower in the US after Daniel Ellsberg. The fact that the government pursued Snowden and effectively drove him into exile in an unfriendly country shows how serious the revelations were, and exposes the dangers of an unchecked government.

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that Snowden single-handedly changed public perception against the NSA and the domestic branch of the war on terror. And yet, what shocks me to this day is how feckless the Congressional and Administrative responses were to public outcry. The government bet on the scandal blowing over, and for the most part it was right. Snowden's whistleblowing should have led to widespread changes in the law and in agency policies - and in a healthy democratic society that would have been the result. Instead, he'll never be able to return to the US because DOJ has made him tantamount to Public Enemy No. 1.

That's why the rule needs to be non-obvious. The rule must be a secret in itself and there is no way that a hacker would figure out the rule from just a single or a couple of passwords.

For example, if I give you a sequence of 2 points, there are an infinite number of functions which could pass through these two points. A hacker who knows 2 numbers would not be able to figure out the other points unless they know the function.

Actually it's weird (to the point of being suspicious) why none of the password managers I know of use this principle for generating passwords from a single master password; then they wouldn't even need to store any of peoples' passwords at all. You wouldn't need password manager companies since it could be implemented as a purely front-end component (e.g. a standalone Chrome extension which doesn't connect to any server). The user would only have to remember a single master password.

You can basically do this using hmac-sha256 hashes to produce an infinite number of new hashes from a single secret seed and it's impossible to figure out hashes based on their sibling hashes and also impossible to figure out the secret seed (preimage) from any hash.
"Hyperfocus" comes from the theory that ADHD is not a lack of attention but rather a difficulty focusing one's attention. The idea goes that ADHD people can some times "hyperfocus" on things for very long periods of time.

It should be noted that the idea of hyperfocus isn't actually present in the DSM-5 (the standard classification of mental disorders) and largely came from a smaller group of psychiatrists and authors in recent years. Despite being a very popular concept on the internet (merely posting this comment is going to make me a lightning rod, I know), it's rather contentious concept in official diagnostic circles. It's also extremely misunderstood in internet discussions about ADHD with many non-ADHD people misinterpreting it as a sign that they might have ADHD.

Note that stimulant medication (a common treatment for ADHD) can often make hyperfocus worse, and hyperfocus is a well-known side effect of stimulant medication being dosed too high. It's also not considered unique to ADHD and is definitely not diagnostic for having ADHD. Specifically, focusing for things for long periods of time by itself is definitely not a sign of ADHD.
Also, people are far more mobile these days. There's less of this sense of "building up a home" in this new generation - we aren't as attached to our things as our previous generations. There is also the culture of fast 'x' (not the movie, just a placeholder - like fast fashion, fast furniture, etc) and availability that people (millennials, gen z, gen alpha) desire these days.

IKEA tables are easier to disassemble and put back together (with varying degrees of success) for folks who move around. Alternatively, it's much cheaper to just buy a whole new set of IKEA furnitures than it is to replace furniture that costed 1k+.

Depends if you are counting correct and common English words. But yea it’s close to about 12 char anything you can hit on a keyboard entirely random. I figured 3e23 vs 4e23, you know “close” ;)

Now… get 80 people to remember a 12 char randoms.

No resets means no one has forgotten their pass phrase. I can not be just explaining passphrases to you now.

But also, spicing a pass phrase up is huge and not just a few bits more entropy. You go from 24 chars that are 5 word options to 24 char almost completely random again.

Custom cabinet work does not have a low bar. You need to be familiar with multiple joinery techniques and finishing methods, even if your parts are coming straight off a CNC. Getting them perfectly square, face framed, mounted etc takes a lot of time and attention. For houses where the framing was done poorly, it takes even more time.

I believe fairly competent cabinet assemblers / installers are making $40-75 / hour depending on location. Everyone else paying less is half-assing it or doing a poor job.
I think you give ChatGPT too much credit. Sure, it'll give you a great algorithm in general languages, but in my experience it's still really bad with IaC for anything non-trivial.

Unfortunately I think you might have some work to do: it might be a good idea to change all your passwords stored in LastPass up until last year, and I'd suggest changing passwords for high-value and financial sites ASAP. I still have low-priority sites to migrate myself, this article is a nice reminder.

Anyone please correct me if there have been updates here:

In August-October 2022, attackers obtained, among other things, backup files containing LastPass users' vaults. I don't think the company mentioned what timeframe the backups covered, or whether this contained vaults from users who already deleted their accounts.

A vault file contains both plaintext and encrypted information. The Secure Notes function which might be used for, say, crypto seed phrases, was encrypted. Passwords are encrypted. However the URLs for those passwords are in plaintext, possibly along with last-access time. Someone with your vault can see what sites you have passwords for, before even trying to crack the password. Not great for anyone but especially for high-value targets or for those who are in politically-hostile environments.

Since attackers took the files from the source, it does not matter whether you had 2FA (edit: 2FA on LastPass that is. 2FA, with secret outside of LastPass, for sites in your vault is very beneficial here!). They can throw a bunch of GPUs at cracking our master passwords offline. There's nothing we can do; the horses have left the barn or rather were abducted by UFO.

One other thing that affects mostly older accounts is that while modern best practice is to use 600k+ password hash iterations, some users had far smaller numbers, like 5000, or 500, or 100. Or even 1. Not joking. LastPass could have upgraded users on login for years--I believe they do now, but that has no benefit to the compromised data.

[1] is an article on what might have happened: engineer with high-level credentials logged on from a home machine that was compromised from an old version of maybe-Plex (which fixed the relevant vulnerability long before). And of course the company had security practices that allow engineers to access the kit and caboodle of user vaults from their home machines, even if indirectly. In the end it seems this was caught due to Amazon's automated warnings around certain IAM change actions.

ETA: I do appreciate the difficulty of guarding high-value data against determined adversaries. I also wish LastPass would have been more forthcoming as to the details here; to my knowledge they haven't provided exact details on what was taken, or suggested users change passwords in vaults as of October of last year. Is this still correct?

I think if you run the numbers microgrids and cheap storage wins vs major grid upgrades and vast transmission networks.

The grid is going extinct when renewables and storage reach their terminal scaled costs.

Why would an intern remove a flag? The flag is not special, it's code like everything else, with tests, ownership, documentation etc..

The idea of the "unfinished code behind a flag" is to be able to work on trunk instead of a long lived branch, increasing the pace of development and reducing integration costs.

This works quite well in my experience, and definitely better than "let's keep a huge branch in sync with the main one for 3 months while we finish".

The problem IME is the opposite: flags do not get removed fast enough, littering the code past their utility.

I’m still not sure that we’re using the same definition of “air-gapped” here. From my experience, and air-gapped system is one that is entirely off the network. Like you said, one user, but the system is gapped because there is something dangerous on it. Airgapped systems are used for research. The user should always have root privileges (they can’t mess anything up too badly, and if they do, image the machine or dispose of it in a fire or whatever) so… again, why passwords? What do they do? What do they protect?
