> I certainly moderate what I say here knowing this (maybe that's the chilling effect you mention?)

Yeah that is the chilling effect.

Yes, it's likely there are some things that are better to be "chilled". For instance if you were advocating for violence against public figures.

But imagine the day your credit rating gets dinged because you post online that you disagree with some new tax reform bill being proposed. This happens because the agency managing your credit score is also lobbying for this tax reform.

Or you criticize a government official online and the police show up at your door, which is something that absolutely has happened throughout history.

The fact they are watching your social media isn't the problem. It's how they can (and eventually probably will) abuse that surveillance. Or whoever replaces them next time there is an election.
I'd definitely feel chilled, because what I post here isn't under my meatspace identity. I don't think they should have a right to pass judgement over something I'm doing under a pseudonym that can't be attached to me easily
It’s common, but also absurd, to hold your own teammates to a higher standard than you do some internet rando contributing a big block of code to your project.

With exception of a handful of “pillar” dependencies used throughout the industry, you should be reviewing your dependencies with the same eye for detail that you bring to pull/merge reviews in your own organization. And you should do it again every time you explicitly tell your package manager to reference a new version.

If you care about the quality of your own project, it doesn’t matter how many stars there are, or the commit frequency, or the responsiveness to issues. What matters is that the code is legible, that it meets your own standards of quality and reliability, and that you understand in detail what it’s doing.

If you can’t do that because a dependency is too large or fast-churning to review, then you should consider whether its actually suitable for your project. Often, in these cases, you’ll remind yourself that you only need 1% of what the dependency provides and that it’s actually less work and better for your skill development to tackle that 1% on your own or with a more narrow dependency that you can properly vet.

But of course, your product manager probably won’t have the patience for any of this, and your colleagues will look at you like you’re a paranoid freak. And that’s why software quality is garbage now and getting constantly worse.

The issue isn't that politicians lie, but that we are numb and don't hold them accountable for it.

Politics are only a reflection of society.
It would be delightful to have an LLM fight back. It could stare at my incoming political texts and respond as though I am the most interested voter in the world while simultaneously hiding them from my eyeballs.
Why should parent bother if the startup ceo can't be bothered to interview on the signal of a personal referal?
My experience has been mostly with software that's either open source, or wholly in-house developed.

But I've gathered from open sourcing discussions, that it's pretty common for closed source software to license libraries and other bits and bobs from other closed source vendors. Especially closed source software from long ago, when there was less to take from open source.
This means that every site in the world must interpret the headers, while with my proposal sites need to opt-in (and pass certification) to be available on children's devices.
I wouldn't even worry about how useful the rating systems are, I'd worry about how arbitrary they are even if you accept their standards. E.g. the "one fuck" rule for PG-13 films, except a film like The Martian can say it twice without being rated R because the raters vote on what they think American parents would think about the film in that case.
Oh wow, another useless ChatGPT text prompt answer... Good job... ?
That's what I think but I'm assuming that I'm naive. Apple's advantage is the vertical integration, putting memory on-package, and buying the best node.
I'm surprised it took this long for someone to write it up as a paper. I assume there's plenty of other somewhat obvious things that could be written up and published, if they haven't already.
I'm also in the "still using Yarn 1.x" camp. The problem is that yarn is installed to the global path by a package manager from outside the Javascript ecosystem, which means that the same install of yarn is shared between all the projects I might run on my system, including projects I don't maintain myself and including projects that aren't maintained at all. I'm open to other JS package managers if they offer benefits, but the one that runs when I type "yarn" in my shell has to be backwards-compatible with 1.x, forever. Repositories like Debian/apt-get and homebrew operate on a similar philosophy, and still offer only 1.x.

So... why didn't they just put a package-manager version number in package.json? I would have no problem with projects requiring Yarn 2+, if upgrading to Yarn 2+ didn't create an obstacle to continuing to run everything else that still uses Yarn 1. As it is now, I'm not willing to even _try_ the newer versions, because I expect to have to revert and I'm worried that I'll lose a day to the mess that the uninstall/revert will create.
True, but how do you trust something that started as a CSV and was digested into Excel?
> Underlying that is a presumption of control and ownership of things outside one’s control which is toxic though.

Sure, but it is (to varying degrees between each person and situation) hard not to make this error when you're face-to-face with it.

> it is not really your business.

On a personal level, perhaps not; but hence the left half of politics, all the way from "lets not cut taxes" to actual literal Communism.
I think that would be ridiculous. It’s much better that everyone drown in a sea of noise and dubiousness and disinformation than to ask that we our trust in some central entity that can be manipulated or audited or influenced or held accountable.
I am an excellent ice skater and decent, not great rollerblader. Rollerblades are difficult to control and stop quickly (haven't mastered the sliding turn quick stop). They are much more sensitive to surface imperfections and slick surfaces than a bicycle. Finally, rollerblades are heavy and still require you to bring extra shoes, putting them on and taking them off takes about 5 minutes... All of this makes them impractical for commuting.
Was the industry ready for this concept of a computer having a number of meaningfully different kinds of cores? Has this happened before? Or did application developers just get cores as an integer count and that was it?
I can't even use the android auto touchscreen in my miata because you can't make it disabled enough at speed so they just disabled the entire thing. Even the android auto dongles that hack that kind of thing I haven't had success with.

I would bet this is some overzealous safety executive somewhere.
Good, I say. Right now political success is closely associated with how much money you raise. And how much money you raise is closely associated with what kind of special interest groups you promise handouts to.

AI will close this gap and allow smaller campaigns keep up with larger campaigns.
Yeah, the US police probably needs to change, but it is a long stretch to argue they are net negative to society.
The SAG and WGA protest have almost nothing to do with this. The AI debacle their worried about is either being replaced by AI versions of their likeliness (without pay) or being paid less and remaining uncredited because AI was used to write/edit (a portion of) a script, respectively.
You reminded me of a documentary I've seen of some former mining town in US where everybody was against Obamacare and liberals, and 30% the county was living on food stamps and could not afford any kind of insurance.

People literally voted against their interests just "to own the libz".
No, I wouldn't give my financial info to X. This will probably just cause more people to leave X.
IP landlords, not land landlords. It was a metaphor.
At first, it was an ear-piece with AI assist that some politicians used to make themselves more informed. Shortly after most politicians had to use this AI assist to keep up with the competition. And then nobody could tell who runs the state, as everyone blindly followed commands from the AI.
Things like this just make me think, if you write code and aren't making money no point in hosting it in US. I.e, just put it on Gitee
I think almost no site would do that. So I don't see why google would risk the political consequences of doing that
It’s quite a scar actually. I have a hard time getting to work on stuff I don’t know, because I cannot thoroughly evaluate the risks of what I’m doing.

Doing ops work is very a very delicate work. When you work on mission critical systems you can pretty easily commit mistakes that cost millions of dollars.
I think we already know where the Overton window's extreme ends are. We don't learn anything by having a bunch of famous people endorse one end of it.
> It has been hypothesized that Amundsen Sea warming will respond to future climate change and may be amenable to mitigation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions6,9,10. However, this hypothesis has not been adequately tested. Existing future projections of ice-shelf basal melting are generally not reliable in the Amundsen Sea, a region which is frequently biased cold or poorly resolved in the underlying ocean models11,12. Reference 13 produced the first future projections using a regional model of the Amundsen Sea, which simulated an increase in basal melting. However, this study only considered a single forcing scenario, the worst-case scenario of extreme fossil fuel use, and did not account for internal climate variability.

If you were to say "they have just decided to go with the most alarming scenario possible and throw the scientific method to the wind" I think it would fit the description in the abstract.
Brings a whole new meaning to “idle” games!
I can't see this system not giving more motivation to deface websites.
Would the average attacker, though?

It's a question about not touching an easy $15k, in exchange for a chance at a bigger score.

I'd assume most attackers wouldn't be able to resist securing the low hanging fruit first.

And even if there's a parallel move, it's even less likely they would leverage everything but the $15k, so OP would still receive a realtime indicator of compromise.

From a game theory perspective, it's a pretty compelling trap for OP to get what they want.
It seems like a perfectly cromulent question to me.
Another member checking in.

Australia in general seems to have decent Hackerspaces in all the major cities, sometimes multiple, as well as good growing support from the Library network with their own makerspaces (including regular workshops for 3D printing etc).
I don't think watermarking counts as an effective technological countermeasure.
> It is indistinguishable from a scam.

I understand how people fall for scams so often if this website is considered indistinguishable from a scam.
I think software is so complex that the house of cards eventually falls and ruins the company. Then everyone is mad and the workplace becomes toxic. Most companies fail so eventually the market does rectify it but it can be a long slog until that happens, at least when there was so much money being thrown around.

But the quality of the codebase definitely had less effect in the company’s success than you’d expect, like you said. The costs are just shuffled down to the customers and developers while everyone else gets rich.
Tangentially I quit yt a month ago and had a similar experience.
To be clear I agree that your setup should be supported, but I have to ask... How do you have those set up? I've seen people with a random smattering of monitors, but typically it seems like that happens with smaller/older monitors. I'm not sure I've ever heard of someone having so many different aspect ratios/orientations all in one setup.
That's in no way reasonable and would show pretty weak hiring skills in a ceo obvious to people who have hired many engineers in the past.
I typically view these things as setting a precedent in a KISS sorta way.

That is, it's easier (and quicker and simpler) just to say no than do things case by case. It also mitigates any possible future fiction.

I'm not saying it's right. But knowing how these Big Incs operate it makes sense.
Sounds like a reasonable assumption.
Windows CE was a bit of a white whale for me... something that I kept hearing about and wanted to see and experience, but I could never find anything actually running it.
Honestly any interactive shell + unix tools + any scripting language you feel comfortable with should cover the majority of things you may want to do on the command line.

If I may be so bold as to ask: where do you live? What place is it where all children are manipulative sociopaths in the making? I assume it is somewhere in the USA which seems to be the epicentre of the identity politics infestation but the way you describe it here seems like the situation is far worse than expected. Every child has weaponised CPS? Did any of them around you kill their parents to inherit early?

Rightfully so. It’s the only department that does “investigations” outside of their own internal affairs. This sucks because police aren’t trained to investigate properly. Some attempt and succeed but in general it’s just not something they practice. It’s more about stomping on your rights until you admit fault to something. Which is highly effective to normal citizens.
I'm responsible.

I need to revise those, and images seemed like the way to get colorization right. I'll try to figure out how to do it with code blocks, it will hopefully be more maintainable. Cutting/pasting images is ridiculous.
a cheaper way would be to have a highly valuable token in the address without any of the chain’s native asset to pay for moving it

then just alert yourself when the native asset is moved to that address, because then someone is trying to sweep. your node can also send some some of the same asset faster at a higher transaction fee and move all of your tokens somewhere safe

people already do this

mostly as a scam to take the tiny amount of funds that thieves send to try to move the more lucrative bounty

you can take this one step further and have many assets worth sweeping, including assets that merely look like lucrative tokens. one of those is backdoored so that the transfer() function is nonstandard and transfers all the assets out of the attackers address when they try to move yours. or you can at least get just your own assets back if you want to be morally superior, moved to a safe address. this wont work if they dont take your backdoored token though. but all other parts about intercepting your assets before accepted into a block still would.
It should compare the synthesizable subset of System Verilog with the same for VHDL.
It all depends on how costly the fallout from a compromised password manager would be - 15k can be totally reasonable insurance policy if the other credentials in there could give them access to multiples of that?
It sounds like you should be using 2FA with a hardware security token rather than setting up a honey pot that may or may not be triggered.
I think you misunderstand the engineering manager position. They've to do things like present to senior stakeholders, manage expectations and handle deadlines, report on team progress, handle the teams budget, report upwards on how the team is doing, individually and as a team, ensure the team has the correct resources, ensure the team isn't blocked, facilitate planning and changes to plans, handling requests from different departments, focusing on continuous process improvement, interviewing, set vision and direction for the team, track and maintain delivery risks, align with others teams, know what other teams are up to, know high level changes across the company.

They do all this while having the technical grasp on what the team is delivering and how they are delivering it. If they're jumping into details around Node+js they are likely ignoring something else important.

A software engineer's responsibility is to design, build, test, monitor software while an engineering manager's responsibility is to oversee the team, projects, resources and stakeholders.

GPT-4 Vision: 10 Use Cases [video]
It's possible to implement a purely informational watermark lots of ways, but no such watermark long survives wide awareness of its use. To know how it works is to know how to defeat it.

This specific scheme is also not remotely novel; I once saw it implemented, something like six or eight years back, in an effort to quell leaks to an industry rag with a habit of posting paragraph-length excerpts verbatim. They also did this with some of the watermarked emails, having stripped the watermarking whitespace before publication.

I actually don't think DRM should be illegal. I think that when we are no longer encumbered by copyright, moving past systems that kneecap themselves with DRM will be much easier, so long as the existence of DRM does not hold any legal value either, a la DMCA.

EULAs are obviously bogus though, yeah.

> but what everyone overlooks (or refuses to acknowledge as it's uncomfortable) are all the bullshit jobs in the tech/software industry who derive their careers out of end-user annoyance and misery.

I think this is because Graeber had little familiarity with this industry so it doesn't appear in the source text.

A nonstandard interview process like this is illegal in some jurisdictions. It may run afoul of US law too, depending on the outcomes.

It is safer and easier to use a one size fits all interview.

Whenever I see the statement "We found no compromise of user data." it reminds me of a meme that it could mean: "We don't have access logs, so we can't tell if any data was compromised." :-)
So it's finally happened at least a tiny bit: one of these corporations to which we have decided to dedicate all authority has had a breach.

Someday it will be much, much worse. Someday someone will manage to breach and take control of a bigger one in a bigger way, and will instantly gain root on a large subset of the entire computing ecosystem. There's a trend of even delegating things like ssh to systems under OIDC control, so I'm not using root metaphorically.

But hey, OIDC is convenient and that's all that matters in computing.
I did! I wasn't that invested in the whole situation. It just made me take stock and realize I'm better off doing almost any of my other interests.

To poke a huge hole in your theory that problem don’t move to avoid taxes I’ve posted a link. France tried A billionaire wealth tax and people moved to avoid it. The tax was a disaster and they scrapped it.

So that’s provable true that people will live to avoid such taxes.

At the risk of sounding like a concern troll, I wish people were more thoughtful with tree planting campaigns. Rich ecosystems (peatlands, grasslands, savannas) have been damaged by attempts to introduce trees where they don't really belong. Surprisingly, this can cause a net decrease in carbon capture! And monoculture forests support relatively little biodiversity even though they look so green.

Sometimes planting more trees is the right answer, and we should absolutely do it. But often it feels like planting trees is a cheap way to score some green points without actually establishing healthy, sustainable ecosystems.
The problem is that anyone can make a website that asks you for your API key and promptly does none of this- you recognize this, right?
You can say that “trustable” websites don’t do that, but that’s the point- why would anyone trust your random website when you could either be A) malicious, and purposefully steal their stuff (unlikely) or B) stupid, and fuck up their crypto and/or any of the other million moving parts in webdev security that people fuck up and end up leaking any arbitrary amount of data (extremely, comically likely)
Now you could’ve just worded your response badly or we could’ve misinterpreted your words severely, but it sounds like you’re claiming that people just get it right every time someone makes a website. Even if we didn’t think A was likely, that line of thought doesn’t instill confidence that B is unlikely.
Also you absolutely would NOT ask a user for their API key. The fact that you don’t immediately think you’d be using an OAuth authentication flow and getting a bearer token on behalf of the user is terrifying. The API token is for YOUR application.
——

Abject negativity over- your concept isn’t bad, and I kinda like it. You should pursue it, especially under the advice about what your outreach/advertising game is going to look like, given elsewhere in this thread.
Please dear god though, talk to or hire someone who knows what they’re doing with webdev security if you’re going to deal with actual user bearer tokens- it doesn’t sound like you’ve ever built an application like this before, and you can make a million fatal missteps along the way.

DRM is enabled by copyright law. DRM only works because talking about how to break it, and collaborating on tools that enable breaking it, is illegal - because of copyright law. DRM relies on giving people the ciphertext, and the decoder, the decryption key, and a way to use those to recover the plaintext, and trying to prevent them from figuring out the decryption key for themselves. Without copyright law backing it up, it's toothless. Get rid of copyright, get rid of DRM.

Also, EULAs are only enforceable due to the fiction that running software without accepting one is a breach of copyright. Without copyright, EULAs are pointless, and anyone can write and distribute tiny programs to patch out EULA acceptance screens or license key verifiers, because copyright law won't prevent them from doing so. Get rid of copyright, get rid of EULAs.
