A quick warning on hetzner. I needed a personal bare metal machine so signed up.

I was travelling and on an IP in a distant land so their sign up asked for secondary verification via PayPal. All passed and now it’s should get a server?

Nope - next day their support emailed telling me they would not approve my account without… no word of a lie here… either 1: a fax of my passport info page or 2: a scan and email containing the same.

I refused reminding them of GDPR and that email is at best opportunistically encrypted and at worst open to interception.

They replied stating they believed they were GDPR compliant because all they do is use the passport to verify the account and delete the document. They also said I could hide anything sensitive other than my name and date of birth!!

I suggested the process is not GDPR compliant as anyone could intercept unencrypted emails and that they should talk to a lawyer if they did not believe my assertion.

Within a short time the server was approved and online. I queried if they would revise their process in light of our interaction. They did not address the question.
Several recent American presidential elections have exhibited a sensitive dependence on a very small number of votes in a very small number of states. Under these conditions, small efforts applied in the right places can make all the difference in the world.

I used to do fast descents of Bonny Doon and similar. Think 60Mph / 100kmhr at the base. With my fat butt and damp brakes I would run through the stop signs at the bottom using rim brakes.

I’ll never go back to rim brakes now that I’ve had discs. I still use my rim brake bikes for clear weather around town. For real work it is discs every single time.

> to provide assurances to those national governments that their own state can’t be dictated to by other states within the EU who may hold different cultural values.

You might be thinking about the council and not the commission? While commissioners are appointed by national governments they "control" a fairly narrow area, e.g. if you get to appoint the commissioner for fisheries and agriculture he won't be able to influence healthcare policy that much.
Ownership is already handled by checking DNS (and this thread covers a way to make that even more secure, which LE supports), and as far as I can tell neither has nothing to do with preventing MITM between LE and your servers.

And no, I don't mean throwing LE certs around to prevent MITM - this whole article is about the difficulties before having an LE cert, so that's necessarily excluded.

I'm wondering "why not client certificates". They're a well established way to stop MITM, seems like a simple choice for the ownership validation step.

In fact, not everyone will get hacked. There are security mechanisms that could be used to significantly reduce the chance or increase the cost for the attackers, e.g., adding layers, sandboxing etc.

The goal is not absolute security, rather practically secure systems against attackers with moderate resources.

We can’t prove that a security company will not be breached. But once they have a significant breach, it might be time to move on. They likely have other problems. I’m looking at you LastPass!

Okta holds the keys to the castle. It has had a security incidence in the past. A compromise of the Okta systems will have a huge impact on its users. The margin for error is small.

Counter argument. Okta does all those things. Provides all the evidence, the red teams, etc. and still you don’t trust them (because they continue to have breaches) so to argue that one can prove security is false. One can only practice security and find assurance in certainty that they can identify events after or when they occur. No one can predict the future and no one can guarantee security in perpetuity. So I agree with you that Okta sucks. I also agree with the argument that you have to keep the knife sharp but you can’t just state the knife is sharp. You have to draw some blood to prove it. Likewise security postures are tested when incidents occur, through testing oneself or from another testing you. Complacency in this is when holes form. Security can only be evaluated at the moment in time. You can audit the past, but you can’t audit the future.

I don't buy that this is "AI bias". This is intentional.

In much the same way, many folks have picked a side in this conflict. Fun fact: You don't have to pick a side! You can just call out the bad behavior. There is plenty of that to go around, and both sides are human beings who have been through a lot of bad stuff.
Yeah exactly. AI has not had a killer app yet.

Ok the video on the home page is very confusing. I couldn't understand why it was demoing that you can play a game without waiting for the full install..when the video only runs games that are already installed.

Turns out that's just a visual side affect of the app itself - everything appears as if it's already installed. So when he opens Destiny in the demo it's not actually installed yet (even though it looks like it is).

I feel like that could have been made clearer.

When I saw this paper about “Royalactin” in Nature [1], it was fascinating subject matter for one but I was impressed that it was a single author non theoretical original research article in a high impact journal. I thought it was baller. Have been trying to search for anything similar published in recent times and have come across empty. I feel it’s emblematic how impossible it is to make any great biology breakthrough nowadays as a lone wolf. But one can aspire!

The guy who published it seems kooky as well. Would love to interview him some day!

>One thing that might help is forbidding abstracts and conclusion sections in papers published in journals, which might cut down on some of the misunderstandings and make it harder to pass off a paper as support for a claim.
I wouldn't go this far, bstracts are needed to determine if the paper is of interest to what you're researching.
Perhaps a more modest refinement that could work would be to forbid conclusions in abstracts.

I like my titanium road bike with rim brakes, I really do. But 700x28 is really the maximum tire size you can possibly fit with rim brakes. With tires trending wider - and for good reason - rim brakes are really getting left out. More often than not, I ride my gravel bike with 700x38 simply because it's a cushier ride. Good rim brakes (cantilever need not apply) can't handle a tire that size.
Yeah. The probabilistic access patterns for games are going to be comically repeatables for prefetching.
Easier to conceal the attack.

The MiTM attacker can pass through a command stream without STARTTLS. If they intercepted 5223 they would have to do their own client-side TLS handshake with the attacked server, which would look really obvious to anybody doing TLS fingerprinting on the server: all of a sudden, 100% of their clients have the exact same TLS fingerprint.

Stop outsourcing your PKI to ICANN, folks. Domains are not public keys.
I don't know. I live in an area that tends to be wet a lot, and for me, there's no question that disc brakes were a serious improvement on my road bike. Caliper brakes suck when everything is wet, but disc brakes keep working. And mine don't howl as they do so.

They have their downsides, certainly, but overall I prefer them.

It's the same type of session replay attack (likely HAR) discussed in the original article, no?

It seems a reasonable expectation to assume that anything sent to Okta support isn't instantly available to attackers.

So, yes, valid session tokens were dumb. But also yes, Okta fucked up here too.
We replaced Ticketmaster for fan club tix to Prince's Musicology tour.

Ticketmaster wasn't set up to handle the unique setup Prince wanted, popular tour in both arena and intimate venues with scheduled sales. When all Prince's music club fans were trying to buy the tickets to a 300 seat venue at 12 noon on a Friday, Ticketmaster had trouble.

Prince being Prince ditched the studio for his music, and bypassed Ticketmaster for his tickets, for what he wanted to do. Over the course of a few weeks, working for his incredibly talented and creative webmaster Sam Jennings, we built and hosted a system that could handle the flash traffic and sell the correct number of NPGMusicClub tickets for these small venues in the milliseconds the event started.

Musicology Live 2004ever went on to do $87.4 million from 77 shows in 52 cities across the United States, selling more than 1.4 million tickets.

It didn't occur to us we should make a business out of having been able to do that. But being 6 feet from his guitar playing in Webster Hall NYC is quite the memory, so no regrets.
> While a sizable portion of the gap arises from explained factors, including occupation choice, educational attainment, and age

What possible justification is there for reporting the topline number without accounting for age? The median black person is 35; the median white person is 44. That’s a huge difference in seniority and pay in most jobs.

Occupational choice and education I can understand, those might be driven by discrimination so it makes sense to look at a top line that doesn’t adjust for that. But age? The article doesn’t even provide the age-adjusted gap.

Totally agree, it's as if suddenly with LLMs everyone thinks they know 'stuff' or self declare experts because they can interact with an AI.

AI is overhyped because of how it's easy to use, and there is a bias tricking people into believing statistical tricks = consciousness.

Before being ready to create a conscious mind out of silicon, we should be ready to prevent any harm actual AI/LLM can cause to our society.

This seems a bit extreme. My take:

* Mountain bikes are better with them. I hate the low tolerances in terms of adjusting the damn things though.

* I guess they're better with carbon rims on road bikes?

* But the 'limiting factor' in stopping a road bike in most cases is the road/tire contact patch, not the brakes. I can lock up a road bike just fine with caliper brakes.
As I understand it, the prerendered backgrounds in these games were rendered as video clips. This was an efficient way to superimpose 3D on a 2D backdrop. But I imagine it may have affected how crisp the backgrounds could look.

If you're not an avid cyclist please take this article with a grain of salt. It's largely understood that disc brakes are better, full stop.

A few guys in my cycling group who are still on rim brakes will not take the really fun descents, even when it's completely dry. They don't trust them. Pad fade, overheating brake surfaces causing de-lamination and popping inner tubes.

So, sure, if all you're ever going to do is ride on a flat surface in dry conditions rim brakes are fine, but not better.

It's arguable rim brakes are slightly more aero. I like my bones unbroken, so I'll take the penalty.

I also find servicing hydraulic disc brakes to be more intuitive. Having to fiddle with the tension of rim brakes' mechanical cables to get them just right was always much more cumbersome to me.
Nice story. Prince really did things his own way, sad we lost him
Why did Amazon close this?

Were people succeeding their PIPs? Isn't that a good thing?

Were people discovering that they were in secret pre-PIP (pivot), and then giving up earlier than the company wanted?

Were people taking the severance instead of working themselves to death just to get fired anyway?

Was there mounting evidence that Pivot/PIP at Amazon is quota-based, not performance-based?

Were employees getting wise to how performance is documented, and either documenting their own side, or interfering with the company's documentation efforts, which increases legal risk?
Uhhh yeah, do yourself a favor, pay no attention to this article. Always buy hydraulic disc brakes whenever possible. The rest of the bike can be whatever, but when it comes to stopping power, you will smile endlessly from the smooth yet responsive safety hydraulic disc brakes provide. They are inexpensive and easy to replace, and need much less maintenance to adjust. Every single time you brake, at all, you will be thankful. The only thing close to as important IMHO is good lights.
People with pronounced psychopathy and sadism are harder to startle
> Well, enter a new system intended for motor vehicles that requires fluids, frame reinforcements, and cumbersome axle fasteners and professional servicing

None of that is true.

Frame/axle changes also apply to calliper brakes and really any part that attaches to the bike.

You can get cable actuated disc brakes that don't require any professional servicing. But if you do go with say 4 piston hydraulic then you get significantly better braking performance. Which if you're doing bike packing, touring, mountain biking etc is a huge benefit.

Also of all the things in your bike cheapening out on brakes is stupid. It can be the difference between life and death.

The author is wrong about cyclocross. I think people riding cross, wanted disc brakes to get wider tires and much better braking. If you've seen pictures of cross bikes after a race, cantilever rim brakes tend to get caked in mud if it's wet at all and they tend to lose a lot of power because of that.

As sonmeone else pointed out, disc brakes let you use wider tires which give you a smoother more comfortable ride whether you're riding a road bike or a commuter bike. Also disc brakes automatically adjust for pad wear so there's less fiddling around once the disc brakes are initially set up.

Google Colab Pro+ Seems to Be a Scam
This guy speaks for himself.

Rim brakes are not better for most riders most of the time. Hydraulic disc brakes deliver superior braking power, better modulation, are safer, lighter, and more reliable. Braking power in particular is very important to regular people who just want to ride their bike and use their brakes without needing death grip forearms.

The guy sounds like a super bike snob. He even knows that rim brakes are unsafe in the rain and he just dismisses that for no reason.
