I think they’re trying to get off of it because it is so freaking expensive.
But I am doubtful of how actually useful it will be given how typing isn't very popular with real world code in TypeScript or Python. Too many people prefer to cut corners if they can. It should be either strict typing or none of it.
My edited statement wasnt directed at you (Ive only just read your reply) but it does indirectly answer your question.

What I mean is that you survey your users via your app on, say, the config page and ask them if they think its too complex and if it would benefit from layers or whatever and always let then enter an optional opinion when you do.
I did something like this a few years ago, the results were fairly "realistic" since it was based on ball-by-ball data from real life matches - https://nbn.sh/p/beamer/

Was never quite satisfied with it since the simulation was quite primitive and would never work on the holy grail of cricket (test matches). But even then users on r/cricket found it amusing enough.

The obvious question: How much will the markup/fee be?

If it's affordable this could change the lives of people without cars, but I fear it will be expensive, because UberEats currently is, and because Uber generally seems more interested in making a profit than in providing a public service.

This is more or less my life as well.

The "finisher argument" that gets rolled out is "product lifetime costs". It goes like this.

Open Source Product A will always be your responsibility, which will take X hours off the team's time forever. Vendor Product B will be maintained from the vendor side, thus removing that wildcard of X. Ergo, over the "lifetime" of the product, B will have lower costs than A.

Since this argument has dollars in it, it always wins, and everyone makes smug faces.

I personally think it's almost completely ridiculous to evaluate software with anything called "lifetime costs", and honestly, it's getting pretty close to ridiculous to cite that metric for any complex system, physical or not. But that's just me[1].

I'd be interested to hear what the general readership's opinion is on whether or not the "Lifetime Costs" argument holds water, and why.

[1] In the software case, what's a "Product" "Lifetime"? Is that "the software in its current precise configuration", because then we're talking a lifetime of picoseconds. Or is Product defined so broadly that virtually any software of that class can be called "the Product", in which case you're stretching my credulity to say you're capable of supporting this notion of "Product" for N arbitrary period. I don't think you will make any money doing that. Either way . . when it comes to "lifetime costs" for physical complex systems, there's a supplementary argument, out of scope for this discussion, but still applicable in heavy industry.
> I think you’d get this problem, monopoly or not, whenever cost saving measures are in place (and they always are, for good reason) at the customer-interface level.

I'm guessing that these scripts that we're all complaining about solve 95% of problems customers call in about. Sure makes things painful for the 5% of cases, though.

I've been a (grudging) Comcast customer for ~17 years, and I have been impressed by how their monitoring has improved over that time. It's been quite a number of years since I've had to convince them that I had an actual problem that their systems didn't automatically detect.
I think it depends what you mean by point edits, but essentially no, we always take advantage of the host DNA repair mechanisms.

Base editing technology (which were also used in the primary studies) direct enzymes to DNA bases that result in unnatural DNA bases that are repaired into natural ones. These are very effective when you want to make a single base pair mutation. There are systems that include a reverse transcriptase that allow you to edit bases more directly, but these also rely on cell DNA repair mechanisms.
K9 is simple, direct and covers all the bases.

At least in Germany all cheap USB sticks sold to average consumers in stores are still FAT32. I highly doubt they format different fs for different countries, the printing on the packaging indicates they're all sold EU-wide.

FAT32 is still very dominant & I wonder why Microsoft & Apple don't push the vendors to use exFAT. Users unaware of filesystems won't need their stick being recognized by the UEFI, but they will have files > 4GB.
Okay, you mistook what I said, and responded based on an unspoken assumption.
1. I did not suggest - move fast and have a lax attitude. Writing or speaking Indian English != carelessness or lack of professionalism. I do agree that catering to an international audience(particularly relevant to this startup) necessitates speaking in unambigous "close to the customer" language, and hence I suggested a "Indian English", "American english", and "British English" toggle.

> they all eventually moved to a more Internationally better sounding English.

well, international, yes. But, better sounding English? who are we to judge which one is better?
Someone has to bring in the change of attitude and originality that Indian startups catering to an Indian audience can feel free to communicate to the audience in their speak, and not worry about blindly measuring themselves against a superficially superior standard. Does the copy need to be unambigous, grammatically correct, uninsulting, and non-discriminatory? Yes, and I will back you up. Is it wrong because the English or Americans dont say it that way, I wont care.

Nothing to do with any nation, but .com is the default of the web, and even the browser defaults to it with a shift + enter, So, yes, it is advantageous to capture that real estate. That is good advice to startups that havent thought of it in time.

Saying that a particular function in democracy is not best handled by bureaucrats (non-expert representatives) and would be handled better by subject matter experts or a pairing of the two with equal power is not anti-democratic. It's just saying out loud that certain functions within government require expertise over representation.
Which ones do you recommend? Every one I have tried hasn't really given me the same flexibility as Splunk, most seem to miss the core part of what makes Splunk cool. Though I'd definitely like to see Splunk improve their design.

And the only reason some UEFI implementsions support NTFS is as usual because of MS's monopoly. They don't have to specify it as the standard, it just becomes one.

Heck, NTFS is more commonly supported on UEFI implementstions than exFAT is, even when there is no free (as in gratis) implementation of the former, but there are several for the latter.
I took some interest in the concept of hashing IPs to avoid PII issues [0], and it turns out that since there's only so few IPv4 addresses, it's trivial to simply take the salt the project uses and calculate all the hashes. On my laptop it would take around two hours with the most naive implementation, so I don't really think this solves anything. This problem would be sidestepped by IPv6, but we all know how that is going so far.

I have a son in high school, and my overall impression of the message for girls in our school district is, "you are amazing, you can do anything!", and for boys the message seems to be "leave girls alone, oh and you can do sports, too". Obviously I'm over-simplifying, but I acutely feel and see the struggle in many boys in this day and age. I get why they just want to play video games, I feel the pressure, too. My son went to a couple of camps this summer, and he absolutely loved the one where it was just him and a bunch of dudes in a cabin, and the guy counselor had a bunch of boy antics with the cabin. There is 100% a distribution of personality types for all humans, boys included, and we need to service (basically) all of them, I believe. But I 100% see a certain, significantly sized, population of boys being left behind. I'm doing my part with my son, which includes helping understand feelings and finding a way forward in his future, which is different than mine, while also dinking around with him and having fun. I find I am at odds with culture, though, and it is an upstream battle. I can't imagine what it is like with kids that don't have a parent fortunate enough to be in my position :(
The fallout from a dirty bomb would be relatively easily cleaned up with showers and a few hoses on streets and buildings. The people close to the blast would also inhale some radioactive dust which will be a much bigger problem, but most of them will probably just die because of the conventional explosion itself. The radioactive dust is definitely far less problematic than shrapnel from a fragmentation bomb.

Overall dirty bombs are really not a problem bigger than any other kind of bomb.
"Move slow and try not to break stuff" would be a nice antidote to the last 20 years. I hope we all go that way.

If you're so convinced you're right about this point (which is not the view of lawyers I've seen spend tens of thousands worth of billable hours around GDPR and ePrivacy Directive... though I'm not in the legal profession myself, just somebody who has seen the legal advice about this at multiple tech companies, and it's a confusing enough area of law with little precedent set in courts yet, so it's absolutely not impossible that they and therefore I am wrong, though I don't think it's the case) maybe you could provide a source for the claim that's from an actual authority - like the source I provided from an actual government department responsible for implementation of enforcement of these laws, which disagrees with the view of GitHub, a company that may or may not have interpreted the law correctly?

Also, saying "I'm going to repeat..." to someone who had (rightly or wrongly) corrected something you said, is not really helpful, it's not adding to the argument and is more likely to push people away than to get them to reconsider your belief (almost made me just ignore your whole reply, to be honest). I'd suggest saving that phrase for when somebody had forgotten something you said, not when they think that what you said is wrong.

Although my first reaction was "ugh...", this kind of makes sense. There's probably a lot of people on SNAP benefits who have family commitments and time constraints where they need someone to deliver food. Just because your on SNAP doesn't mean you should be a 2nd class citizen.

Wow - I guess I'm both surprised and completely unsurprised. Surprised because Splunk is a pretty big pill to swallow. Unsurprised because they've obviously been interested in the space for a long time (they attempted to acquire Datadog and got shot down).

Good luck Splunk folks - Cisco isn't exactly known for their software innovation in the upper stacks (they still do pretty incredible things at the network OS layer).
Two things: Firstly that 98% number seems so absurdly high that I think it just doesn't look credible. Secondly, doesn't this same logic apply to a search engine choice screen, and given that firefox can implement that today with no dependence on anyone else surely they should get on and do it?

> It implies that one would be fine with backdoors if they could be made perfectly secure.

No, I don't see how that's implied at all.

The arguments against back doors isn't that someone bad _might_ use it, it's that there is no need for the backdoor in the first place and there is no such thing as a secure back door that only intended people can use.

Authentication is not identification -- a client passing a secret to the server doesn't mean the person sending the secret should have this secret/be allowed to use this secret, it just means that they have the correct secret to get authorization from the server.

Thus, there is no such thing as a backdoor that only the "good guys" can use, this is an absurd statement (I am not implying you said this, but it seems to be the goal of governments and many tech companies for some reason...)

Technology is already chatty and insecure enough, we don't need yet another way for someone to get access to our personal devices.

The argument against back doors isn't misuse of the backdoors, it's that they shouldn't exist in the first place. There is no way to have a "safe" backdoor if any attackers with enough intent want to get access to whatever has the backdoor.

Perhaps some persons argue they'd be "okay" with the theoretical "good" backdoor, but I don't think that such arguments have been taken to their logical conclusions to explain how such a backdoor would ever ensure that only a person who really should be using it could be using it.
Hah. I know the web frameworks have solved this issue but it seems like a fun puzzle to figure out without peeking
I haven't heard a single person trying to get off of it because "there are better SIEMs" - they're universally looking at other options because of the price.

Cisco has the luxury of bundle and save that Splunk does not.
I remember adding changestreams a few years back to my project, they were amazing .
Splunk is a great product with horrible sales and business team.

The reason why them _trying_ to get off it is because they have a bunch of stuff that is easy and works in splunk, but don't want to pay the exorbitant licensing, or pay even more to increase their use.

But getting off a good product is hard, and they will continue to use it and even pay.

The kind of thing Cisco, Oracle, and IBM love are companies with very expensive products in which no development needs to happen and customers cannot move away easily.

I used Splunk at a previous job and that’s one of my few/only complaints with it. Great tool but extremely expensive for what you get. Datadog is the same way as well as Pagerduty. There’s not enough competition in these spaces
"Carbon footprint" is nothing but fossil fuel industry propaganda. The average consumer can't really do very much about "their" carbon footprint.

Here's the money quote of the bunch, from the Mashable article:

> The evidence, unfortunately, comes in the form of the worst pandemic to hit humanity in a century. We were confined. We were quarantined, and in many places still are. Forced by an insidious parasite, many of us dramatically slashed our individual carbon footprints by not driving to work and flying on planes. Yet, critically, the true number global warming cares about — the amount of heat-trapping carbon dioxide saturating the atmosphere — won’t be impacted much by an unprecedented drop in carbon emissions in 2020 (a drop the International Energy Agency estimates at nearly eight percent compared to 2019). This means bounties of carbon from civilization’s cars, power plants, and industries will still be added (like a bank deposit) to a swelling atmospheric bank account of carbon dioxide. But 2020’s deposit will just be slightly less than last year’s. In fact, the levels of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere peaked at an all-time high in May — because we’re still making big carbon deposits.

I made the same mistake recently, Windows now uses the EFI partition on the Linux drive. But I don't have any of the problems listed. Not shutting down seems more like some ACPI issue to me.

My only problem is that BIOS updates delete the systemd-boot efistub, probably caused by the vendor only having exceptions for the Windows bootloader and GRUB.

What's happening, is companies are doing a risk assessment, and thinking "well, it probably won't be hacked, we don't need to replace this with something that is auditable, and secure".

That needs to 100% end. There are also cases where companies think, "Well, it will take use 3 weeks to update this stack, we'll leave the old, vulnerable code online for that 3 weeks, plus testing, and plus (of course) push, so 2 months, even though this is a very easily exploitable, high profile CVE".

That too needs to end.

The only way that can end, is if fines are WELL beyond any possible savings, including being 100s of times more than those savings, so that companies will TREMBLE IN FEAR at the very idea of leaving unpatched servers online. Your stack will take 2 months + testing to upgrade?

Because you chose a stack without an easy way to upgrade instantly?

then you take your stack offline, and tough if it bankrupts you.

Because otherwise, we'll fine the company dry, and its directors, and jail the CTO, and the employees who knew.
