Do IFTTT/Zapier even allow switching the Host for such requests? For companies like Zapier, it makes sense to request complete access to Google Sheets, but it gets very problematic for least-privileges, and this is a reasonable solution. I've even considered building something similar in the past, but getting vendors to switch hosts is not always easy.

TL;DR: I don't understand how adding homomorphic encryption makes a cloud virus scanner for physical pathogens a better idea

> Only authorized researchers should be able to obtain DNA permitting them to assemble pandemic-capable agents.

Imagine this becomes legally mandatory. What happens when they get breached? For example:

* Does it enable denial-of-service attacks by returning false positives hospitals legally can't ignore?

* Does it return false negatives as part of another attack? Example: printing known or novel virii which will be introduced in a specific lab?

* Does the attacker selectively perform these behaviors as part of an action against a specific person or area?

Metadata seems like it would enough to target the physical parts of an attack usefully, even without plaintext.

The best security & privacy approach I've seen in hospitals is keeping critical services on-prem, or at least strictly intranet-only. The latter ends up being forced by physical scale once a medical complex grows large enough to span multiple buildings.

The firmware embedding mentioned on their site seems better than cloud, yet still seems misguided. How will you debug problems, especially if you never have access to the plaintext? Formal methods and verified programs? Provably equivalent encrypted and plain operations?

Universal Music Group Cuts Ties with TikTok, Alleges Indifference & Intimidation
Slack running all their scheduled tasks on a single box using linux cron all the way up till now is an amazing point in favor of every "you don't need overly complex system architecture at your company" argument anyone has ever made.
"Whether a crypto is built with non-scammy intentions has little bearing on whether it is used as the vehicle for scams."

Many things can be used as a vehicle to scam to varying degrees, to say that cryptocurrency is inherently a scam in and of itself, is not accurate, as it certainly has non-scam use cases, just like non-cryptocurrencies.

I'm happy to debate, but I don't think either of us are wrong so far, as what you said and what I said are both not mutually exclusive. But if you are asserting that cryptocurrency is in and of itself a scam, I'm happy to have a healthy debate.
This is a cool API but I wonder if something like Zapier would support redirecting their slack integration via your onsite proxy.

> You can restrict access to external APIs in a more fine grained manner

I've done this very successfully for many APIs before. I've found weird things among providers where using AWS (or GCP or Azure) gives you crazy fine-grained access controls (which are great after you spend two days figuring out how to use them well), but, some of the low cost competitors have core services that work just as well but their APIs are entirely binary (either you have full access, or none) but by adding a thin API layer above that you can enable all sorts of useful things. Provider doesn't support R/O API keys for terraform plans? Just run a proxy which enables that. Provider won't allow you to give someone an API key which can only reboot VMs, but, not delete them? Just write a proxy which does.

Very powerful model if you adopt it well.
Then I wouldn't be that worried about it.

> a vendor you don’t like

That’s quite some euphemism for describing a vendor that steals sensitive user data, bombards users with ads, and pulls all sorts of tricks to force users into submission. They’re even stealing IMAP credentials [1], and I’m just stunned that they can pull that off without fear of criminal prosecution. Windows is hostile, unreliable, and unfit for any purpose.

But people are supposed to turn a blind eye because of some diminishing advantage the OS has in gaming? At what point can one be allowed to say no?

This Stack Overflow [0] answer makes it sound like that's just stating a triviality about distributed systems.

For example, if the task that runs your cron is down when your cron is supposed to run, then it won't run.

The slack blog says they did some tinkering like preventing nodes from going down at the top of a minute because that's when they think cron jobs are most likely to run. But at scale things are going to break when they break, and you have to weigh the pros and cons of designing the jobs to be robust to failure vs trying to organize failures to correspond to the needs of your jobs.

So I think there is space for solutions that make different tradeoffs. But it does seem vastly easier to tune an existing solution that someone else is maintaining than to build your own solution on top of Kafka.

Doesn't Java have the widest variety of hardware running it, thanks to its Virtual Machine ?

That resonates. Me too!

Here's Pew's Janna Anderson in 2015:

"Algorithms are taking over much of the human work of hiring humans. And, unless they are programmed to seek out currently undervalued and difficult-to-track factors, they may tend to find that the more robot-like a human is the best she or he will be at doing most jobs. So, it could be that the robots are most likely to hire the most robotic humans."

I find the whole gamified system to be bizarre and disheartening no matter which side of the table you're on.

To me, looking at modern tech interviewing is like comparing the gold standard OCEAN and the emergent HEXACO in personality surveys. Take the former on a bad day and it may leave the test taker feeling bad about themselves. The latter, much kinder and gentler in messaging around strengths and weaknesses.

That "by design" quality strikes me as missing from the entire tech interview system. If it weren't broken, this would not be a 7-year conversation updated yesterday:

https://github.com/poteto/hiring-without-whiteboards
You're completely ignoring the fact that honesty (& willingness to follow rules you might otherwise disagree with, etc.) themselves might be traits the employer is looking for in that role. Traits that (by your willingness to break the rules) you're obviously lacking. They just don't happen to be technical skills, but that doesn't mean they don't matter to the employer. What do you think you're doing by cheating? You're deceiving them into hiring someone with traits they explicitly don't want. You don't see a problem with that?

> And I don't think ChatGPT is the answer to in-depth learning.

I think ChatGPT is perfect for learning. Specifically because if you don't get something, you can keep asking it infinitely without worrying about seeming stupid. You could never do something like that in a classroom. Perhaps you could do it if your parents hired a special tutor with infinite patience for you.

In school my main issue was - my mind wandered for a moment - and now I'm all out of sync and without context. Everything from that point on is just a complete waste of time. And this happened every few minutes, so it's impossible to learn something in school.

> Math, all kinds of math. I'm not sure about you, but math matters in software development.

This is something that I largely disagree with. 99% of common software development doesn't rely on math at all. Or any knowledge of math. And I enjoy maths. Math was my favourite subject in school. Most I've touched maths is if I have tried to do game development or some sort of simulation software for my side projects, but everyday professional work - I have really never needed math beyond the simplest.

> Understanding temporal logic and mathematical logic in general makes doing formal verification much easier.

I think this type of logic is completely unrelated to what is being taught at school which is rote learning of formulas and NOT problem solving. What is being taught at schools is not true problem solving.

> The bottom line is, fundamentals expand one's conceptual depth and breadth, as well as the ability to abstract and to dive deep, which in turn gives a person more choices. I didn't start as a system engineer, nor did I know that I would work on internals of ML algorithms.

I see, if you are working more on that side, it may be true, that you are using more maths there - I've been doing mostly common full stack development, which really just doesn't require maths. While I've tried different ML things, which haven't really required maths at all, I assume you might need maths if you are developing some cutting edge algorithms. But usual ML that I have tried seems to be mostly about trial and error to find the correct parameters intuitively.

> Besides, even the fun of studying STEM topics is hard to get outside of school. I'm sure one can read about physics and chemistry and what not, but man, having labs and professors who can give you guidance... That makes a whole world of difference.

I've found it more fun outside school without the forced pressures and with natural interest...

I'm pretty skeptical of GPT/LLMs in general (I think they can be a fantastic tool, but I think their current abilities to generate creative solutions are wildly overblown even by a lot of people that should recognize their limitations better), but in response to this:

> If ChatGPT responses were enough to do a job, then why would a company hire a human?

By the same token if ChatGPT responses are enough to pass the interview, then how can you believe your interview process isn't fundamentally broken?

And if ChatGPT responses aren't enough to pass the interview, then who cares if people use them? If the interview properly models the job being hired for those candidates should either fail the interview or not depending upon their ability to leap back and forth between the tool and their own ability to make use of its output which should map very well to their ability to do the same in an actual work capacity.
I'm skeptical of you claims about Hussein but I will admit less familiarity with it. Your claim about Russia's motives are bunk

> Russia "irrationally" invading the Ukraine may seem that way to us, but let’s see.

Invading one of their largest neighbors and ruining their relationship with a nation they had significant cultural exchange and trade with (including many of their weapons factories) is irrational.

But Russia's leaders didn't want a positive neighborly relationship they wanted to conquer Ukraine and restore the empire. Putin has given speeches on this comparing himself to the old conquering czars.

> Russias economy is just about entirely dependent on their petrochem industry. Without, their are broke.

True enough

> The reason why they still can compete in this market is their asset of soviet infrastructure and industry.

Much of the equipment is western and installed in the post Soviet period.

> A good majority of USSR pipelines run through the Ukraine.

Then they probably shouldn't have invaded in 2014? Almost seems like they made a bad irrational choice. They had other pipelines that bypassed Ukraine like NS1 and NS2 which didn't enter service due to the war

> I’m not saying it’s okay for them to invade, but i can see what they seek to gain

Please explain what they tried to gain. Ukraine wouldn't have objected to exports of gas through Ukraine if not for the Russian invasion and they already had pipelines that bypassed Ukraine.

> and why exactly they fear NATO expansion all that much.

They don't fear NATO expansion, they disliked it because it prevented them from conquering or bullying countries with threats of invasion. They've taken troops of the NATO border with Finland (and didn't even invade Finland when Finland joined NATO). Russia acknowledged the right of eastern European nations to join NATO and promised to respect Ukraine's sovereignty and borders.

> I personally don’t see a similar gain to be had from China invading Taiwan, at least right now. They have lots to lose and little to gain. Taiwans semiconductor industry is useless without western IP, lithography equipment and customers. There are even emergency plans to destroy taiwans fabs in case of invasion. And that’s beside the damage done to mainland China itself.

The fabs are a red herring, they're largely irrelevant. If China invades (which I hope doesn't happen) it will not be because of any economic gains. There are no possible economic gains that would justify the costs of a war. If they invade it will be for the same reason that Russia did, because of extreme nationalism/revanchism and trying to use that extreme nationalism to maintain popularity among the population.
