Is there a database of these big corporate hacks anywhere?

Furthermore, is there any categorization of the method that was used? I am curious of the ratio: X% mix-configured cloud permissions, Y% bad defaults, Z% unpatched 9-year old vulnerability, N% most minimal social hacking, etc

Probably too much egg on everyone's face to get public post-mortems, but I would enjoy knowing more.

I wonder what the results would be if it was worded instead as "mandatory submission of all private communication to government agents"? Because that's what the vaguely-phrased "Commission proposal to fight child sexual abuse" entails.

Edit: The exact phrasing in the survey [1] was:

To what extent would you support or oppose the following? Service providers detecting child sexual abuse material and grooming in messages using end-to-end encryption* in case of a significant risk of child sexual abuse on a specific platform (*end-to-end encryption prevents material or conversations from being viewed by anyone other than the sender and recipient)

Do lay people realize this means e2ee is prohibited, opening all their communication to covert monitoring?

The final paragraph stood out to me though:

> White people still hold a disproportionate share of the top, highly paid jobs in the US at S&P 100 companies.

With the graphic behind it stating 74% of executive positions are held by White people. According to census.gov, 75.5% of the U.S. population is White[0]. Wouldn't that make the distribution pretty bang on?

web search suggests Unity, with the level editor being coded custom as part of the game.
Not to excuse it, but that was 18 years ago. Anything more recent?
You're overstating the problem to an extent.

Pilots in WWII had things like the predecessor to TACAN to navigate with -- my grandfather was a pilot in the Army Air Corps and described navigation with radio beacons regularly.

Aircraft Carriers don't move far in the short time CV based aircraft are up -- they just need to navigate back to where they took off from. That's not as hard as it sounds, even with 1940s technology. You just need to navigate to within radio range, which is a couple hundred miles if you're in the air.

At the same time, they did get lost at times.
In short, we just moved to Apple HomeKit and used whatever was compatible with it.

There are issues with setup since most of these products aren’t from Apple. However, the fact that it works offline without internet makes it a worthwhile upgrade. The caveat is that you need an Apple TV or HomePod to act as the hub. Like everything Apple it’s not cheap, but I’d rather spend money instead of time, and I just want it to work without the looming threat of cancellation.
Diablo 4 was great. I put probably 50+ hours into it and enjoyed it a lot.

I also completely ignored the opionion of whatever communities existed for it, because they ALWAYS complain and turn toxic, especially for Blizzard games. It’s inevitable and says very little about the actual game. Same thing happened with Overwatch 2 as well. It’s a great game yet somehow has only 10% positive reviews on Steam.
Because the owners are not in it for the long term. It’s an agent problem - if they can take a company with a 2% profit margin and juice that up to 10%, they’ve captured 5 years worth of profits in a single year. If it takes 5 years for the market to catch on that the company’s gone to hell, that’s 25 years worth of profits available for stock buybacks-err, new investments. The company’s dead within a decade, but the owners and investors got a bucket full of cash.
But how does it handle? The spark is really agile. It doesn't go as fast as the bigger drones, but it accelerates and turns much quicker.
It would save everyone a lot of time if you'd just make an argument.

This is why there are standard sizes in the US. So you can compare products and smaller products aren’t able to advertise as low calorie.
openssl is likely categorically different. When you need SSL, there isn't too much choice. But when you need to search stuff, especially in a specific case, you often don't need the full functionality of something like ripgrep or even its speed. Often, just iterating over lines and doing a regex search for each is Good Enough. Bottom line is that a naive solution can get you a lot of mileage, where as there really is no naive and simplr solution to SSL.

On top of that, ripgrep has a `--json` flag with a pretty simple format. Running another process is often not a Big Deal, and thus, there is another off ramp to avoid the complexity of ripgrep's libraries that doesn't really exist for SSL.
Someone needs to do a "what computer scientists don't know about color" article.

Well, think the other way around: if reality didn't keep the relationship between ratios as a coherent structure, it would be a soup of pure timeless randomness, producing lots of short lived Boltzmann's brains... so, we wouldn't notice.
For me, Mozilla has one very important job, and that's to make a browser. And they are not doing a terrific job right now, they have been losing market share year after year. And sure, you can give me the argument of "but it is the defaults, and ads, and Google, ...", but if they were really good, they wouldn't lose market share, in fact, they took a good chunk of IE back in the days, so much that the joke was that the only purpose of IE was to download Firefox.

So until Firefox become the clearly better browser (like in the IE days) I wish for Mozilla to focus on that and leave AI and other certainly worthy causes to another organization, because the other organizations will not make a browser that is not a chromium fork. Mozilla can get a pass if that's to make money they can invest in the browser, or tech that has direct applications in the making a browser (like Rust). But the AI thing looks like it is neither.

So for me it is money that will not go into fixing bugs in Firefox and as a Firefox user, it annoys me.
> It looks like Mozilla has completely lost its way.

Not at all. $30 million in bonus bumps. The way is looking good!
I wonder what conclusion we can take from it?:

1. The S&P 100 companies were racist and previously preferred to hire white people over nonwhite people given equal qualifications. They changed their tune after the BLM protests, and are now race-blind in hiring, leading to 94% of new hires being nonwhite.

2. They were more or less already race-blind in hiring, but the pool of qualified labor skewed white. That 94% of new hires were nonwhite in a country that is roughly 3/5 white may indicate that equally-qualified whites were discriminated against.

3. They hired people in a race-blind manner, and ended up with 94% nonwhite new hires due to the composition of the labor market at the time.

4. Some combination of the above, or something else entirely.

> why their workplaces don’t reflect the country’s racial and ethnic makeup

This is a question with no answer, a game with no end. Virtually no subgroup in society accurately reflects the demographics of the whole, and it's fallacious to think that this happens solely or even largely due to discrimination.

I, for one, cannot wait to live in a society where the color of one's skin matters less and less over time.
I've read other books by this author and felt that, for math books, they were overly political.

To a layman I would simply propose that one plot a graph of y = x^2 and label the axes as such:

What’s more, at its highest speeds, the engine transitioned from conventional turbojet to mostly ramjet compression by extending/retracting a nose cone within each engine intake. Doing so moved the bow shockwave of the cone so that it reflected inside the engine intake, which had the effect of slowing the Mach 3 air down to subsonic speeds so it could be used for engine combustion. But even still, energies were so high that almost all the thrust came from afterburning - the engine combustion stages were basically just spinning as air went through them.

The whole plane is an engineering tour-de-force, especially considering it was designed with slide rules

Unfortunately, most people don’t have the luxury of using public transportation. Hence, the vast majority of people do not save money going to the office.

In my case, fuel costs approximately $200 or more a month for just commuting to the office. Our HVAC costs stayed the same working from home, even with a smart thermostat.
You can probably get that for much cheaper and better quality from your local grocery store chain’s deli.

When I still worked in an office, the grab and go section at the grocery market really helped me cut down on food costs/expenses. I use the grocery story grab and gos on roadtrips too. Bathrooms, massive food and drink selection (with alternatives to pop), good quality and at better price than you’d get from any fast food chain. Publix, Big Y, Meijers are all favorites for me.
My limited experience with Unity was that, if you are planning to do something the Unity way, its very easy to bootstrap and start just coding cool features. Which is why theres a proliferation of Unity store assets + cheap gameplay on steam.

But if you want to do something a bit more complex, like modifying 3d objects in flight based on unit interaction, not only are you fighting an uphill battle, but the documentation is all out of date and mostly wrong. Because Unity isnt just an engine, its a set of default addons to that engine, and each of those addons was written to be just generic enough, but mostly just enable people to start making FPS and RTS games really quick. If you want to step outside that paradigm you are basically just engine coding again.
Interesting, around the same time I recall some service with 'free' CDs from them.

I forget the specifics on the service, but they tricked teenager me. I didn't realize that they intended to charge some fees

I have a friend who's really into wargames, and I don't mean Catan or Risk. When he moved into his current house he dedicated about 1500 sq ft of his basement (he has a large house) to this hobby where he and his other wargamers will spend months playing a game on a huge map with thousands of pieces - a turn might take several days.

While there are digital versions of this, nothing really matches the broad awareness of the field like just having the 2 meter by 3 meter map stretched out on the play space with all the pieces mid-game. Monitors feel like looking at the world through a straw in this context and the tactile ability to pick up pieces and try out scenarios can't be replicated with a mouse or even touchscreen.

Any technological solution would have to be able to display such a large piece of paper without scrolling, at retina display levels of quality. The closest technology I've seen that sort of "got it" was the early Microsoft cocktail table where you could put phones and controls and such on the screen directly. From those early concept ideas we ended up with the Surface Studio and dial I guess, but it's not a 2x3m retina display with thousands of game pieces, sometimes stacked.
That’s what I’m talking about!

There is no way this was intentional. First you’d have to argue that only the top execs were aware of this, because a bunch of Unity employees quit due to this. Secondly, if it was a form of anchoring, they did it in the worst possible way. The problem wasn’t really the numbers, it was the base idea of using installs and having it apply retroactively. If they had just wanted to anchor they could have come out with a plan at 5% revshare or something.
To point out some context, 2021 was a hot labor market. However, S&P 100 jobs particularly for entry level professionals are the best jobs around so these are the jobs where there are always way more people applying than there are number of positions. This wasn't like, "we hired whoever applied because we really needed workers". These are the best opportunities.

Cool to hear from someone that lived it, if just for a short time!

I read the article and it certainly touches on the high points, but to John's credit, he goes into much deeper detail in the book. Eight people left because of high level infighting, but John knew of the problem and didn't do anything about it until it was too late. John was for buying the Anachronox crew thinking it was an easy way to knock off one of their game commitments to Eidos. Turned out it wasn't so easy. Eidos was all in on the fancy office tower and happy to pay because it would be their corporate HQ as well.

I was a bit surprised that the article said Dallas was a difficult place to staff. My impression from the book was that good people were so keen to work with a big name game developer that they'd go anywhere to do so. My memory from the book was that John got pretty much anyone he made an offer to.

Wow, I wasn't aware of this. With such amount of money raised, I would expect a more polished app/frontend. Their core open-source product as a password manager is solid, but the UX/UI could definitely use some improvement.
I am no philosopher, and only an amateur mathematician…

But to me it seems that even when you consider math as just being language… you still run into the same philosophical problem when you consider what the semantics of that language are.

For example, you may believe that the practice of algebra is simply operations on stings of a language. But when you start asking what objects those sentences refer to, you end up asking what math is again.
You really should write a book with your analysis of the human condition. I have never seen so many sweeping generalities and hidden stereotypes in my life.

Apple's Eddie Cue Set to Testify Tuesday in Google Antitrust Case
This has been mentioned extensively before, and corroborated by other people. I think it's true. He had an old podcast he'd ask old time Apple II/PC developers about stuff they developed, and they'd be struggling to remember stuff that Romero knew every detail of. It's remarkable, and even a bit frustrating to listen.

Also, about some stuff not mentioned in the book... I do think it gets light in details the further it goes, but you also need to read the disclaimer: there are people who asked not to be covered in the book and he respected that. There's one particular storyline that is never mentioned at all... to me it's very clear the person involved likely asked not to be mentioned because they've moved on.

When one's writing from the first person, about friends and acquaintances, they have to be more polite than someone who's acting like a neutral observer, like in "Masters of Doom".
Huh, they used to exist.. It's almost as if some OS SDK changed that restricted what hardware could do.. weird.

You can share digital games. The PS5 allows you to share games with one other console if your account is logged in on that console. Steam allows you to share games with friends (or family I can’t remember). You and your friend just can’t play the same game at the same time, which is the same way it would be if you shared a disc anyways.

> owning a house or renting a house needs to end up having the same amount of return on a 5-10-20-30-50 year timeline

This is clearly impossible. I think everyone can agree that a house is worth something. It's a roof over your head, so that's worth something nonzero.

So if you own it, you own some value. Might be low, might be lower than what you paid initially, but it's worth something nonetheless.

If you perpetually rent you own nothing, so your equity is always $0.

Meanwhile, out here in rural Canada, farms here now have two fibre lines running to them. About a decade ago the local (co-op) telco dropped fibre lines to all the farms. Then, the government decided that rural areas didn’t have internet access so they put up funding and now another ISP has used that to built another fibre network.
