We will happily walk this path until we all live in a giant AI-enabled global feudal regime where even the probability of an revolution will be nil, because the AI will know who are the potential revolutionary leaders even before they think about a revolution.

RSA is less of a footgun than many elliptic curve alternatives (e.g. it usually doesn't suffer from catastrophic compromise in case of reusing entropy in the way that DSA and ECDSA do), though.

Curve25519 is safe in that regard, but isn't yet as ubiquitous, and even though it's quite well-researched at this point, you can't beat RSA in terms of public scrutiny.

If performance doesn't matter as much to you, I'd say RSA is still a valid choice.

Typically there are NUMA-aware memory allocators. I don't believe glibc is but mimalloc and the non gperftools tcmalloc should be. The Linux kernel is NUMA-aware and will try to avoid shifting work to a different NUMA node but it may depending on what else is happening - it's a generic algorithm trying to balance CPU utilization, latency, and memory bandwidth. If you're using a higher level language like Go or Java then there may be more involved. Java has a NUMA aware allocator while Go's design requires it to also have a NUMA aware scheduler which I don't believe it does.

You could go extreme and start pinning your threads to specific CPUs to tune the code manually instead of relying on the kernel if you know memory bandwidth is extremely important and you won't have much CPU contention to worry about in terms of getting work scheduled in a timely manner.

All that being said, you typically also need to design your application from the ground up to be NUMA aware to take full advantage so that you can set up your allocations to happen on the right zone & whatnot.
Most television advertisementS use a technique called sound compression or sometimes just called compression.
This essentially compresses the audio waveform so that the highs, mids and Lowe's are all driven at the same level which causes the audio to sound louder. They should be fairly easy to detect in order to mute the TV but I'm not sure how you can get it unmute at the right time.
I honestly don't mind an enterprise browser, as I assume anything I do on my work machine is/can be tracked by my employer (and also assume they have some responsibility to track it due to legal/security obligations). However, I would not be bringing my own device no matter what.

Also, small nitpick:

> Most of these browsers (save obvious exceptions like Microsoft Edge for Business) are platform-agnostic.

Actually Microsoft Edge for business "is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS." according to their website.

Mullvad ( a much smaller company) seems to have a similar set of goals and values. Not everything needs to be under the umbrella of a 800lb gorilla multinational. I hope that some of those entities can learn to be more creative rather than trying to reduce everything to something bean counters who need to report quarterly gains or get fired. It disincentivises taking risks at all.

This leads to a strong status-quo bias (“uncontroversial” and “stop trying to solve social problems”).

Status quo bias unfairly benefits those who are at the top of the social hierarchy and perpetuates ongoing harm against those lower on the hierarchy.

To take one example, this attitude would be very convenient for white men to take and encourage others to take, but would be seen as negative for people of color, women, LGBTQ people, etc. Pushing this attitude in a corporate setting would then turn off recruitment for those people and limit the diversity of the company, which has longer term implications for hiring quality and product appeal.

Put simply, the desire to “avoid politics” favors certain classes of people to the detriment of others.

I am not saying the answer is to bring politics in to the office, but I am suggesting a more nuanced response to those who desire to do so. Encouraging people to “stop trying to solve social problems” is very transparently an attempt to solve the social problem of political activists making choices you view as flawed. If you truly don’t want to be involved with social problems yourself that includes letting others make their own choices and being sensitive to that (while still balancing workplace norms). For example you might decide not to encourage others to stop their activism, but limit activism at work that distracts the company.

> Could Berlin's values of privacy and freedom from photography be eroded by the increasing pressure in other cities for professionals to have an active online presence, I wondered?

Berlin professionals have the same pressure of those in other cities. After all, Berlin is the largest city in Europe, the capital of the largest economy in Europe, and also "Europe's tech capital".

> Indeed, according to Masur, privacy concerns within Germany are getting more in line with other countries.

What other countries? In the Islamic world, taking photographs of people without consent is considered "spying"[1](Sauidi Arabia bans cell phone cameras). That's 1/3 of the world's population, but pick another place at random and snapping pictures without consent is likely to attract the police, the military, or another armed person demanding your photos be deleted.

> Design a better api, bud. If you can't deal with all of your users using the product you sold them, the product you made is trash and your users deserve a refund.

If 3k home assistant users take up as much traffic as say... 50% of my total population we're just supposed to accept that cost in perpetuity?

> Or, crazy idea, just let users use their devices locally. You won't even have to get your shit together and fix your api then

I advocate for local access internally (to be clear, I don't work for Haier). But I'm here to discuss things I have sphere of influence over as well.

> Now also just design an official home assistant module and you've turned this drama into community goodwill.

That, again, costs money/people/time that can be spent doing things that keep us all getting paid.

All this said, we have lots of API keys in our systems issued that are used in HA, and they DO take up lots of traffic. I sort of let it go because of exactly this (it creates a lot of noise to shut it off for little benefit).

Again, I also agree we should all offer local interfaces, but that's an uphill cybersecurity battle (lots of reasons, some of them not great)

Ask HN: Anyone is able suggest SE or Cyber Internships?
Hello everyone,

Is anyone a hiring manager or recruiter here at a company or start-up that could help me with getting a Software Engineering or some Cyber fields summer internship for 2024?

I'm currently a student in my 3rd year of a 4-year course studying Computer Science with Cyber Security in the UK. I have had 2 previous internships have worked on a bunch of Personal projects and participated in contests during High School. However, the internship search is getting tougher and tougher each year. I would be willing to relocate to the US if that's mandatory.
they are not if you consider the effort that goes into Pop_OS, firmware, coreboot, custom-BIOS and all the testing that is required for it. It's in many ways a phenomenal deal if this is all you need. And considering that you can re-use these things on a Clevo I'd rather support System76 in what they do.

However if you don't care about Pop_OS and really insist on an ISO keyboard then Clevo (or something like Tuxedo Computers) are better options.

When it comes to hardware a Clevo is a Texedo is a System76 is a Sager (and a bunch of others)
But I'm not talking about inherent value, I'm talking about the calculations that go into health care. The life of a person raising children should absolutely be valued higher than that of one who isn't. And I want to be clear, I don't have children, and I don't plan to, so this isn't selfishly motivated, it's just common sense to me.
What’s the point or the advantage of doing so? The card will be cancelled right after and instead of using the max amount of that card, now you are only limited with what left after purchasing that goods, from the scammer perspective, I don’t see how’s this any better than maxing the card somewhere online instead, unless I’m missing something.

> When Huggies sells those exact same diapers in a different box for 6 extra cents each, what is that other than naked greed?

It's paying for marketing/branding. It's paying for placement in grocery stores. It's paying for the profit margin that the additional intermediaries have that Costco doesn't. It's paying for manufacturer's coupons on the product. It's paying for the "free shipping" on a hugely bulky product from an e-commerce seller.

I buy a lot of store brand stuff, in part because it represents a good value and in part because I don't like paying for the items listed above.
> Barker said he bought seven “Step2 All Around Playtime Patio with Canopy” sets from a seller on Amazon.ca, using his payment card on file to pay nearly $2,000 for the items.

Presumably Baker would have immediately shown the RCMP the Amazon transaction record for his (legitimate) payment to the (fraudulent) seller. And that Baker's payment to the seller would have been timestamped before the seller perpetrated the fraud on the Walmart account and shipped the goods to Baker.

If you saw the timeline above, and you believed the transaction records were accurate (and I assume the RCMP has the means to verify those transaction records with Amazon and Walmart), then what would you conclude was going on?

Would you assume that Baker was a master criminal who was acting as both the buyer and crooked seller, and was covering his tracks with a prepayment from himself (as the buyer) to himself (as the seller), thereby creating a transaction record to give plausible deniability?

Even the most cynical jaded hard-edged RCMP officer should see that doesn't make sense. Either the investigation was very incompetent or there's some more detail to the story that we haven't heard.

It always bothered me that the AWS CLI relies on plaintext credentials (in a well-known location too, at ~/.aws!).

Ok, but the children already exist. Do you think if their parents are allowed to die they will become less of a tax burden?

This isn't an argument about whether or not we should incentivize couples to have children (we absolutely should, in my opinion), but whether parents of young children should be prioritized for life saving treatment. Maybe I'm crazy, but I think the additional value of not leaving children parentless is worth including in the calculation.
You think just “parents” are the people with the strongest grasp on the issue of CSAM?

I mean, maybe you’re just looking for weak versions of the argument. There are a ton of people who dedicate their careers to monitoring and combatting child abuse imagery. As far as I can tell, they’re unanimous in the view that E2E encryption is a huge, huge help for predators. I’m sure they’re not unanimous on how to level that fact with another distinct fact that E2E encryption is also useful for lots of other things.

Calling a real problem FUD doesn’t make it moot. That’s just a way for you to avoid addressing the argument.

that's an argument which works for capital goods (like livestock) but not for what Henry George considered to be natural opportunities of fixed supply like lithium ore (and land in general).

Henry George, if he were still alive today, would probably say that valuable raw mineral deposits like this would be more likely to be discovered and brought into productive use earlier if they were taxed. The argument being that people would have no reason to speculate on a large untapped reserve of it. There would still be an incentive to bring it into production because the earned profit would be made through extraction, processing, and distribution of the material even if the higher holding cost of the land is factored in as a cost.

In my example, the company was in no way planning this to be the outcome. They were shooting for a big acquisition or even IPO by capturing a sizable % of a $400b market. At some point it became clear this was not going to happen, but a path to profitability became clear so they followed it. From a fiduciary responsibility perspective this is a perfectly fine choice to make, but it is the last thing the VCs want as it results in zero ROI for them.

I feel like a great way to solve these <businesses practices that are indistinguishable from scams> is to require confirmations when payments change (maybe with exception of variable rate loans?).

If you work at a bank, maybe pitch a notifications system that detects reoccurring transactions that are in fixed amounts that notifies customers when they change. In fact, also pitch giving your customers a fucking list of reoccurring transactions.

Yeah, I wound up on Monarch since it was founded by the former product manager at Mint and has a similar modern consumer look.

It's whitespace heavy though -- for people who like something that looks more like an enterprise software dashboard, there's Simplifi.

I like how they promote engineers based on "mastery". This is very different from Google, who treats promotion as a tool. That is, mastery often is not the only consideration. Sometimes it is not even a consideration. Of course, no one would say so officially, but more than one VP and director expressed this principle in different ways. And we can see the results: the promoted can be most important, most influential, most needed, or most trusted. Mastery of engineering is not necessarily in the equation.
