Is encrypted email commonly used for reporting security vulnerabilities? It seems like increasingly, more reports occur via bug bounty programs, or are disclosed publicly by the researchers, or are just sent as plaintext emails to security@ or whatever is publicly listed. When I've found security vulnerabilities in somebody's code, I can't think of a time I ever thought about GPG-signing my notice to them.

Still, the sentiment I sense is mostly anti-Musk/anti-billionaires. It’s fine to talk about differences in cultures but when you have Swedish companies founded by Swedes (and how are now also billionaires) doing the same thing as Tesla, the narrative kind of brakes down imho. How did Spotify get away not having a union for over 15 years?

My reading: They weren't picked for their ethics, they were picked for being malleable, to serve as a fig-leaf and to be able to mislead regulators. To Sam's surprise some of them took their job serious, so he tried to get rid of them because he saw the confrontation as inevitable. That backfired, he got terminated, and then that backfired so the boardmembers got the choice to jump on command or vacate the premises.

I can't even imagine what it was like to experience this from the inside, with the entire world speculating on this drama, especially considering that the day before, everyone was celebrating what you and your team were creating.

Because real markets are not as simple as the toy ones of price theory in economics classrooms. There are transaction costs to entry and exit, information is highly imperfect, products are often not that fungible, inelasticities of both function and consumer preference abound, and nominal competitors often tend toward cartel behavior because many producers see themselves in a somewhat adversarial relationship with customers, and consider the true competition to take place in the corporate finance marketplace rather than the retail one.

> Another related study.[2]

Thanks. JFC, that one was mind blowing:

> Last year, production increased to 30.2 billion barrels, but these futures markets alone swelled to 541.6 billion barrels, becoming eighteen times bigger than the global physical output.

So, to put it clear: on average, before reaching a refinery, each barrel of oil that ends up there changed hands eighteen times, with each step extracting wealth (in the form of buy/sell price spread) along the way - for zero gain for both the producers and the consumers of the oil. And yet, everyone seems happy with it.

> but there is no agreement on what to do about it.

If you ask me personally, the answer is easy: burn the entire thing down and restrict the rebuilt one to actually legitimate market participants (producers, wholesalers and consumers of commodities). The current system serves no real purpose other than to enrich a very few people at the expense of everyone else, which is also the reason why this won't ever happen - the financial incentives and thus the amount of money flowing into corruption and its legal friend lobbying is just too much.

The problem is, you won't get that kind of clear-cut answer from any academic studies or even most political parties outside of the far-left (like me) who criticize it on the very real effort this looting has on poor people and the far-right who tends to focus more on the conspiratorial part. It's in the end a question of political ideology and of how independent science, journalism and politics can actually be when faced with billions if not trillions of dollars of financial interests.
Not OP, but here in park city UT, we average ~21 feet of snow a season and got an epic 51 feet last season!

I normally see dump salting trucks with plows that plow/salt the roads during snow falls and then we have cat bulldozers that later come pick up the snow and move it into dump trucks to be hauled away.

> The article’s author says the “time mirror” means you send a signal into the experimental setup of wave guides e.g. “a-b-c” and it comes back “c-b-a”.

It would be great if the author said that. She doesn’t say that, though. She says, “For instance, what is at the beginning of the original signal will be at the end of the reflected signal — a situation akin to looking at yourself in a mirror and seeing the back of your head.”

Which is a surprising thing for a person with a PhD in nanophotonics to say.

Why is the page size of Linux (x86) 4 KB, how is that calculated?
I just looked and the top 4% of the SC2 ladder is Master+, which I consider to be quite an accomplishment. At the same time, there's so much range of skill within the master's leagues as well as even in the Grandmaster (top 200 players in each region). Even the difference between the top 5 pros and next 10 are visible in matches.

This reminds me of the range of skills in Go (board game), from absolute beginner 30-20k (kyu) beginners, 19k-10k casual, 9k-1k amateur (me), then 1-7d advanced amateur (dan), then 1-9p (pro dan). Each few 'stones' of difference can typically squash or run circles around the other. So many orders of magnitude.

What's inside this crater in Madagascar? [video]
And we can rely on this as a force in some cases.

Some years ago at an IETF one of the talks was about an outfit whose hosting or cloud or something pricing change was designed to prod people towards IPv6. Something like, on contract renewal you could keep the same config, same price, for the next period, but you only get IPv6, or, you could decide you must have IPv4 still, but that's a separate product now, so you need to get your finance people to sign off on the revised billing with the small extra cost for the v4 addresses you'll need as they're no longer baked in. One reason to do this was because v4 addressing does actually cost money, but they also expected it would itself drive migrations to IPv6 and they were correct.

Because "We should fix our thing to work with IPv6" sounds potentially like a fun learning experience whereas "We should talk to our finance department" sounds miserable so they're obviously gonna put a few hours into making IPv6 work rather than take the "easy" option.

IIRC They did have customers who paid for IPv4 after the changes, but the vast majority went IPv6 only.
Elaborate? I've already explained that price-fixing does sometimes happen, but it's illegal and governments do crack down on it. People like money, but they also like to stay out of prison and avoid losing that money in settlements.

If anyone is making a just-so argument, it's those claiming "greedflation". The idea that record profits must equate to something nefarious happening is in my view a simplistic just-so statement. At least in America, people built up record savings during the pandemic, and then spent those savings in record numbers once the lockdowns ended. Record profits during a period of record spending seems rather unsurprising, doesn't it?
Honestly that really sounds weird, especially given that there are periodic snapshots and you can restore older revisions.
What about when gmail was released and the storage was advertised as increasing forever, but at first they just increased it infinitesimally slower and then stopped increasing it all.
> How do you retain information?

I don't try to. I write down/bookmark what I feel might be useful for future reference...

> I'm trying to improve my ability to learn and retain

Then it maybe depends on what you're trying to learn? What works for me is focusing on grasping some fundamental logic behind whatever I'm learning. That way there's less need to retain information, because I sort of "get it" and reason about the space.

Exactly this. In my day job, I program industrial equipment that operates in very unfriendly environments (lots of heat, vibration, humidity, etc.) We pay extra for parts that are certified to be able to take the abuse.

Many of the parts aren't really any different than what you'd find inside consumer goods. They cost more because they've been tested and certified.

Do you have any resources to best optimize (or at least not squander) a young genius's opportunity, especially in math?

My son (just turning 7) is smarter than I am; and possibly more as an artifact of being on the spectrum, is nearly bored after textual representations ( one tredecillion, ten tredecillion...), ~70 digits of pi, latin/greek alphabet, periodic table, planets/cosmos, and every other aspect of rote memorable/science/math things.

I'm not sure if he's bored now, or simply too busy with trying to learn to read, or burnt out, but I've tried to look for more collegiate material that may suit him, besides looking ahead 4-5 school years, and come up rather short. Some private tutoring material has seemed most helpful, but so far, YouTube has the best material, but obviously that has its own issues.

Besides more moderated Youtube/Kids, i fear im missing something obvious

A data point to support the original comment is that there are arbitrageurs all over the place. If you are trying to raise your margin, lots of people without any technical or product knowledge will simply buy it cheaper else where and drop it into your margin and eat your lunch.

That’s like saying the invention of the rifle didn’t matter because your grandfather used a bow and arrow to shoot things. The skill level required to photoshop an image with the same quality as ML tools significantly limits who can do it and how many fakes they can produce. That changes it from something few people are likely to ever experience to something which can affect, say, most girls in a middle school class – and because the quality is higher, the consequences are worse because people are more likely to believe the fakes are real.
This nerd sniped me and I had to do the math to confirm, but you're right, at least depending on where you get your estimates and regional power costs. The energy equivalent between a cell phone and shower time is on the order of seconds.

My phone's battery is 4385 mAh @3.7V, or 0.016 kWh, and my power costs $0.1252/kWh, or about $0.002 per phone charge. Based on some super surface-level estimates from googling, a typical shower is about 2 gallon/min, and the cost to heat water is about $0.01-0.02 per gallon, meaning for me it's actually about 4 seconds of hot water per phone charge.
All four of those have some asterisks after their name that you may want to become familiar with.
Two series that helped me immensely during some rough times that finally ended in 2023:

“Beware of Chicken”

“Mother of Learning”

Read those in the hospital with my son. I found them to be excellent stories and they gave me a lot to think about as far as major decisions I was making.

A trilogy I ended up finally reading and really enjoyed after pushing through the first half of the first book was “The Shadow of What was Lost” by James Islington. It started out feeling like a love child of WoT and Sandersen’s writing, but after that first half of the first book it went it’s own way to excellent effect.

It's impossible for us to give you a good answer from outside your company.

Sometimes, "best practices" are pure waste. Sometimes they are even counterproductive. Sometimes they will pay off immediately. Sometimes they will pay off for the company, but only after the current team has left and won't receive credit. Sometimes they would pay off for the users, but the company doesn't care about their users.

If possible, discuss the issue with a senior engineer (or two) on your team.

I would not get too confrontational with your manager. At the end of the day, your customer is your employer. But keep a note of the compromises that you're making, and remember if they cause any problems. Determining when to cut corners, and when to break out all of the formal methods, is an important part of your maturation as an engineer.
Or can't decide which role he's playing. :-)
This thread is truly bizarre.

A 352 pound bench at 180 pounds is bordering on being an elite lift. I would wager that it's unattainable for most guys, even if they worked at it and did everything right (in terms of training, nutrition, etc). Success in athletics/strength-based activities is, in large part, determined by genetics.

I'm sure there are domains where being in the 95th percentile just takes "some work." If we're using video games to make this point though, then I'm at a loss for words.

On a separate note, really hope the industry either makes cloud compute cheaper or starts using better priced competitors/on premisis soon, the big 3 clouds are crazy expensive IMO.

Audi also has a 48v architecture in use for mild hybrids like my SQ5. This is an older article but explains it well https://www.greencarcongress.com/2017/06/20170602-audi.html

My 2021 is fully 48v except for an inverter for necessary 12v circuits (like cigarette outlets and the jumper pins) and a small motorcycle battery that is used for minimal 12v functionality. The mild hybrid battery is under the rear seats and spins the alternator to keep accessories running.

https://www.autoweek.com/news/a36331077/48-volt-hybrid-syste...

My guess is that handing this out is a very nice thing to do but perhaps irrelevant in a world where 400v and 800v drive systems are the state of the art. Those systems can’t rely on the car body as a common ground for all sources of current and have a lot of inherent safety concerns that force a lot of electrical engineering that my old Camaro didn’t need to have.
