From what I read on Wikipedia, this wasn't supposed to be a KYC-related device so I'm not sure I see the point you're making.

Almost every banking/investment/trading/payment provider out there routinely have a KYC mechanism in place to avoid throwaway accounts being used for money laundering (And this is mandated by regulation), so this is definitely a thing. (I'm not particularly advocating for it since it would have serious privacy and freedom of speech implication, but claiming this is an impossible problem is a gross oversimplification).

"Current news: A court found a developer guilty of “hacking.” His crime: he was tasked with looking into a software that produced way too many log messages."

Note that “hacking.” is in quotes, which should clear the opinion that the poster "Yellow Flag" considers it to be ironic that this action is called "hacking".
> So he immediately informed the vendor – and while they fixed this vulnerability they also pressed charges.

Germany has an obsession with accusing people of crimes. Perhaps a projection?
The silver lining is that the punishment for crimes in Germany is generally extremely lenient. The article mentions a 3000 Euro fine plus legal fees.
There's nothing confusing about it, it just doesn't frame it in the way you prefer.

From the perspective of the developer, it's natural to assume that the password was in place to prevent non-users from accessing, not legitimate users. After all, the credential wasn't hidden or obscured in any way. When it became clear that users weren't supposed to have access, it was reported to the vendor. Am I missing something here?

On one hand, there's a developer doing their job. On the other, there's another "embarrassed" company retaliating and intimidating would-be bug reporters. It seems crystal clear what's going on.
Correct, because the startup limit had been reached: `service start request repeated too quickly, refusing to start`.
Power. There are pit slaves, extortionists, rape cults, and other incomprehensible horrors.

yeah run away greenhouse heating is just not going to happen by 'what we are doing'.

There are numerous cases in which paying customers are also the product, most notably any captive-market advertising situation: transit, air travel, hospitality, cable and streaming services, telecoms (wired or wireless), and more.

The truth is that a profit-maximising business will seek revenue opportunities where it can, and if that means selling both services, on a single-instance or subscription basis, and advertising, it will do both.

Advertising-only or advertising-dominated businesses have a strong tendency to degrade faster and far more prolifically than those with mixed-model funding (I still find The Economist's three-legged revenues stool fascinating: subscriptions, advertising, and Economist Intelligence Unit bespoke consulting and research services, each roughly 1/3 of total revenues).

Paying alone, however, is a far-from-sufficient condition.
It's not another problem with these planes, they are requesting the same exception from some more modern regulations for the -700 series that the FAA gave to the other two series in production now. The 737 max is not a design from scratch... so it makes sense it doesn't comply with some new regulation. The pilot union for southwest has already said they'd prefer if Boeing didn't have to redesign the cockpit for some of the variants.

Yes they can. And "traditional investors" might be perfectly fine with dividends plus a solidly run company (i.e. valuable on its own). It's just unlikely to satisfy investors who were promised either a nice exit or a hockey stick.

>Of course it doesn't. We don't build nuclear generators with pre-approved unusable exclusions zones. This is a ridiculous suggestion.

I'm not suggesting we assign 5,000km^2 to each individual nuclear plant, just in case they explode. I'm suggesting the 5,000km^2 that currently exists as barren nuclear wasteland should be included in the total land attributed to nuclear energy. That would bring down the average generated energy per km^2 pretty significantly.

The dataset does what I've suggested for hydroelectric. The dams are relatively tiny (and in fact, would outperform both wind and nuclear in this dataset), but they render huge areas unusable. The unusable collateral land is attributed to hydroelectric power, as it should be.

It stands to reason that collateral damage caused by nuclear should be included, if collateral damage by hydroelectric is too.

Whenever I'm roleplaying with my tinfoil hat, I say that the NSA is behind comments like yours.

You cannot assume that the security of a composite crypotsystem is max(system1, ..., systemN), i.e. that bolting a secure system to an insecure one is at least as secure as the most secure system. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not and the insecure system breaks the whole thing in a way that casual analysis can't spot. If I were the NSA trying to inject memes into the software ecosystem to make my job easier, I would definitely recommend that everybody start with vetted open-source cryptosystems and then bolt their hand-rolled crap to them.

> You ever done a day's work? You ever start a business, make an investment, borrow or lend money? Nothing related to money happens by itself, except decay.

Aggressive. The OP would be in a very unusual position if they haven't done most of those things.

You don't have to do much to make money grow at about 8% per year on average, if "not much" is defined as something else you can do while maintaining a full time job and raise a family. That's faster than wages grow, so get enough of it you can literally stop working. Granted "not much" is not the same as money growing on it's own, but it's a good enough approximation.

> But there's a significant conflict of interest here; not one government has ever distributed its budgets perfectly.

I don't think that was the claim. The claim is that governments distribute wealth more evenly that a corporation would, which I consider to be self evident.

Also I notice you mentioned government money paying bureaucrats, but didn't mention it spends money building roads, hospitals and running schools. In fact the vast bulk of the money goes to the latter. If a democracy is functioning well, meaning it has an informed electorate and fair voting, the governments are under considerable pressure to deliver as many of those services as they can for the dollar. You do that by shrinking the bureaucracy as much as possible.

I suspect you also believe corporations do things more efficiently that governments. In reality study after study has shown government bureaucracies are about as efficient as corporate ones. About the only thing that clearly does better than both is a competitive market (as opposed to a free market). One outstanding example of this comes from comparing the cost of going to a USA hospital versus one in just about every other country on the planet. It's an interesting comparison between hospitals in the USA are invariably run privately, whereas in the rest of the world they are partially funded by governments to varying extents. Turns out in just about all systems where the government has a say in how hospitals are run, they delivery more services for less cost.

This is semantics at this point, but ACPI "is" not executable code. It contains executable code in form of methods, but it is a structured container for many types of data (they are called "tables" for a reason). You could very well embed DT in ACPI and there are platforms out there which do that.

Unless something has drastically changed, PyCon covers itself and earns the PSF quite some money on top. Here are numbers from 2020:

https://thefortunate.blog/diversification-is-the-future-for-...

> Out of USD4.5MM of revenue for the PSF in 2019, around 63% of it came from PyCon. USD1.9MM was the costs of having PyCon, which means that for every dollar spent on PyCon, the PSF gets back 1.50 dollars.

https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2020/03/psfs-projected-2020-fin...

Obviously, the revenue has sharply dropped for a time because of COVID, but I'd be surprised if PyCon is run at a loss nowadays.

So you can assume none of your sponsorship money goes to running PyCon.

Or the other way to look at it is "This land has lots of valuable community improvements like nearby restaurants, shops, parks, good schools, walkability. Therefore, the land itself is worth more. It is more economically efficient if more people get to benefit from the positive externalities of a good location, and so we should incentivize development in the locations that are most valuable."

Most areas can support a skyscraper, but it doesn't really make sense to build one in the middle of nowhere. Conversely it doesn't make sense to keep prime real estate next to shops & public transit a surface parking lot. LVT incentivizes developing the parcels that are in good locations into high-density, high-value uses. A traditional improvement-based property tax reverses those incentives: if you develop your parking lot into a skyscraper, you pay much more in taxes, which may be unaffordable for smaller non-corporate owners, which gives them an incentive to hold onto them and keep them as marginal low-productivity uses.

My last job had a bonus structure of “everyone gets $X each year, as a percentage of yearly profit, based on time worked at the company up to a year”. On average my bonus was about $8k - no strings, no requirements. If you started that year, your bonus was prorated.

My current position is merit-based - over the year you have several goals you set with your manager like learning something new and presenting it to the team, attending a trade conference, etc. Yearly bonus is x% of around $15k, and that % is based on how many of those goals you accomplished.

Both systems feel tangible, and the rewards feel like they’re worth it. The former being completely without any requirement was really nice, and also I don’t mind having self-improvement and professional learning goals to work towards for a sizable bonus.

It's much, much easier to recall knowledge that you've gained once, than knowledge that you gained 0 times. It has also not been my experience that I "hope to forget" that knowledge either. Perhaps you go about learning a different way than I do, though.

After all, can you really write a good application without knowledge of how it will be deployed, and the challenges users face deploying things on specific platforms (eg. Windows, baremetal linux, kubernetes, docker, etc)? I would argue that you'd often write naive applications that gimp itself in unexpected ways depending on how the user intends to use it, without that knowledge. Depending on what types of applications you tend to write, this might be less of a valuable point to you. For example a static site web dev probably wouldn't be as interested in the infrastructure, they just need a server that can bind on ports 80/443. But I see a lot of incredibly naive applications written by potentially naive software developers out there.

The fact that so many papers are published rather works against your argument. The more papers are published in a given field, the more likely they are to be bullshit.

Of course, that applies for STEM fields as well as the social sciences. However, if we do comparisons across fields, such as looking at how many citations a typical paper in some field will receive, we find that STEM tends to do a lot better than the social sciences[1].

>Pick a field and take it down if you can. But trying to build a case against all of social science using the example of someone notoriously elevated despite a lackluster career as a publishing academic doesn't get you anywhere!

The longer such fraud goes uncorrected, the more rewarded a person is for their fraud, and indeed the more lengths other people go to cover up such fraud (as was argued by the OP) the more likely such fraud is normalized in a particular field[2]. The Claudine Gay story suggests that, if anything, XKCD was wildly optimistic about the social sciences[3].

As a millennial, why does every aspect of our life have to be so performative? People are mistaking attention seeking for "transparency". If you spend every waking of your moment on camera or making everyone around you paranoid about being on camera, no one in your life including yourself is every going to be genuine.

Besides, it's a dumb thing to do. Depending on the state you or the HR person is in you could be violating 2-party consent laws.

No, you don't understand. I don't really care about your politics, I care about the ridiculously extreme risk your toxic optimism causes society without there being an ounce of data to support your position.

You are asserting that people without a conscience and a proven violent criminal past belong back in general society after some hypothetical rehabilitation program. Further, you are asserting that it is the US prison system (and by extension, the US itself), that is somehow failing these supposedly misunderstood people. The reality is that there is no fixing a lack of conscience and giving these people social skills training only gives them more tools to exploit people by. Literally every mental health professional will tell you that. Those that deviate from this position have a strong tendency to end up strangled in a ditch somewhere with their underwear around their ankles. That is why I tell you to shelve your virtue signaling until you actually understand what you're advocating.

You want these people out of prison and moved right next door to me and my family. I merely want you, since you've made it personal, to try dealing with them first... ideally firsthand. Barring that, maybe look into the reality of the situation first. The good news is that if you do manage to fix them, there's a Nobel prize waiting for you and you will be remembered as the greatest psychological mind in history.
