> Moral relativism isn't real

Then why are there plenty of moral philosophers who argue that it is?

In terms of questions that we don't know what the answer is, whether moral relativism is real is probably close to the top.

I mean it might literally be the most debated subject in moral philosophy, without even a hint of approaching any kind of consensus.
> Not to mention multiple orders of magnitude safer than driving to the airport.

I guess that's counting accidents per distance. Which is a weird metric if you compare a vehicle that is going some 560 miles per hour with one that is going not even 55 mph on average.

By that metric, using a space shuttle is safer than commuting by bicycle in Europe (which is not only extremely safe if you wear a helmet, cycling will statistically make your life longer instead of shorter, in spite of the accident risk, so large are the health advantages..)
I like to compare something that's really elegant and simple, but that hides the implementation behind an even simpler metaphor, to magic.

Could also be "magic" in the Arthur C. Clarke's sense.

No, you're solving the wrong thing. This is a thought experiment, not a real life scenario with ambiguity.

In this thought experiment, MH will always open a door to a goat on purpose and always ask if you want to switch, because the entire point of the thought experiment is that people find the 2/3 odds if you switch unintuitive and baffling, leading to extremely long thread chains.

Yes, you’re correct in your assertion that infrastructure policies are just one part of the puzzle. In conjunction with our preconfigured deployments, we provide customers a set of legal policies we’ve worked with former US Attorneys to closely align with the spirit of HIPAA enforcement.

Most personal finance experts recommend viewing your primary residence as a liability, not an investment. Although housing prices generally increase over time, it's never a guarantee. Plus, you are always paying something on it over the course of ownership, such as mortgage interest, taxes, maintenance costs, renovation costs, utilities, etc. Over the time that you live in the house, those costs can (and often do) outpace the gains made by a rising real estate market.

There is a sub-branch of real estate investment, however, that has come to be known as "house hacking" where you explicitly DO treat your primary residence as an investment. Typically this includes buying a home larger than you need and renting out the extra space to roommates. Or buying a duplex and renting the other half. Purchased right, these can cover the cost of the mortgage, meaning you're sort-of living in your own home rent-free.

Another thing people do is move into a run-down house bought at a discount, live in it for two or three years, fix it up the whole time, sell it at a profit, and then move onto the next one.

Neither of these are usually palatable to those with families, but they are pretty popular as a way to get into real estate investing for those that are young, motivated, and have otherwise stable jobs.

Things like this are clearly the future. Having seen how some open source projects are run, and how we delegate some tasks to juniors, LLMs can play a major role.

Super simple and that alone would be an insane boost for productivity.

For Darwin, one improvement that comes to mind is to make a catalog of blueprints with common actions, so users have less to configure.

U.S. launches probe into possible fraud by organ collection groups
If you have a lot of values to add to a query, they're physically distant from the place you're using them. With the unnamed version like you used, you're relying on your ability to count how many values are used so you get the list correct. With named parameters, you're adding another layer of indirection. Use a value more than once? If you change it or want to remove it, you'd better be sure you do it for each usage of the name in your query!
Incredible point. Thank you for your service.

Unfortunately, until humans have crypto modules installed in their brains, we will have to rely on some form of "security by obscurity" that many colloquially call "operational security".

Yes, there are types of data and metadata about your company's infrastructure that can be used against you. But no, you shouldn't hand it to attackers on a silver platter.

> In fact, to better test that this is the case, you should probably give the pentesters your account ID so you can be informed regarding your security in this scenario.

That depends on the scope of the test. Many organizations will do both (and others) to test different layers of security. Remote software exploits are something that many people on this forum are concerned about, but that is hardly the be-all-end-all of security for an organization. There's a lot of security topics entirely outside the scope of computer systems to be cognisant about here.

Put that way, is Mistrial changiy directions not releasing future models that? I don't disagree that this move sucks, but it's not like they just changed a secret setting so their model you're currently running on your computer is now secretly uploading your incognito browsing habits to their servers. They changed what they're going to sell/release, going forwards, but that's it. No users got abused here, from my POV, but maybe I'm not seeing it.
Yes, exactly. This is a similar battle IT folks face with implementing best practices with it comes to cyber hygiene, and the sooner it’s solidified, the better (shift left approach). That's been our current approach with helping early stage health tech startups, and will be a tough but rewarding battle as we move towards organizations with established practices (be it good or bad). Curious to talk more with you about this if you have time.

You can't keep it secret because Amazon doesn't keep it secret.

So if Amazon doesn't keep the account ID a secret how can you as a user of Amazon be expected to keep your account ID secret? There's no way for you to stop Amazon from exposing it.
I guess I disagree with the AWS documentation then. It should be treated as a sensitive piece of information that should not be exposed to the public. It’s not going to bring you down if it’s leaked, but it could be used along with other leaked info over years in more sophisticated attacks. Why risk it is more the point.
Yeah I generally have a pretty negative take about tech regulations, especially security ones. They are often written by people who don't understand either the technology or the threats, and are often implemented by people who don't really care about the threats, just about compliance.

Client-side encryption is a lot better. If the regulations were drafted in a technology and security aware way, maybe they would include something more detailed than "data must be encrypted at rest" which would require such practices. As it stands today, you can be in compliance without actually gaining much in the way of practical security improvement.

> A lot of threats. A rogue employee sucking up data. Malware on AWS servers.

IMO server-side encryption-at-rest does not protect against either of these, although there might be some edge cases where it does. For example, malware on the S3 gateway would see the data decrypted. A rogue employee with very limited access may be stopped by this, but I would guess that most rogue employees would be abusing the support impersonation processes or would deploy evil code that can access the data after decryption.

Client-side encryption would prevent both of these threats as well as the more common ones like losing access to your AWS keys somehow. As long as the method that leaked the AWS key didn't just leak your client-side encryption key as well.

All security evaluations should start with a threat model. If you're trying to protect yourself against APTs or nation states, you have a very different challenge than if you're trying to protect against drive-by ransomware.

You are leaving out some very important things:

- Price stability itself has a value for electricity consumers. Insulating consumers from the price variations that come from the inherent variability in supply and demand is a major "feature" of retail electric service. While one could provide their own stability with enough personal batteries and generators, practically that's only really possible for the wealthy.

- Lack of regulation around planning, upkeep, maintenance, and backup planning results in short-term profit maximization among generators (and cost minimization among consumers who enjoy very low electric rates in the short term) leads to situations like the catastrophic Texas outages of 2021. Now that Texas has legislated price-caps (which is direct economic regulation) [1], typical rates will rise.

sometimes the eob (explanation of benefits) would eventually show up but it would have no check number to tie it back to the payment. It would also span checks so you really had no way to tie what payment went to what prescription. You just had a pile of money and a pile of billed prescriptions. AR reconciliation, trying to figure out who paid for what and how much you're owed and how old it is, was a dark art and the code had all kind of tweaks for specific payers accommodating for all their payment inconsistencies. Some payers met the terms of the contract, some didn't, some had bugs where they'd over/under pay $1 in certain circumstances etc. It was a mess, i'd tell the payers to fix their system but they'd just blow me off (I was pretty naive at the time). Interestingly, i could tell when multiple payers leased the same system because there would be strange bugs consistent across payers. That $1 over/under payment sticks out in my mind 25 years later.
Any better iGPU would be limited by memory bandwidth. More bandwidth would require a different socket and probably more expensive motherboard.

People have speculated that Google search was highly biased, but it could never be fully proven. The "Generative" aspects of current AI models mean that bias is extremely easy to spot. Could it be that AI is the ultimate harbinger of truth? If more truth seeking models perform better, which is economically and socially valuable, attempts to censor models will fail in the long run. This could break long held media/propaganda power. What an interesting outcome

You as a user of Amazon can do whatever you want though, including being careful about which pieces of information you elect to expose publicly.

Just because this reverse search of bucket to account id exists doesn’t mean you should begin to expose your account id on your own.

>> For most of the population, their actual worth is stored in their human capital.

> What does that even mean?

for a person with no savings, i.e. no investments, it means that income from their wages is all the income they have.

if you have $500,000 invested in the stock market, you would expect income on average to be 7% of that per year, or $35,000. It's a nice boost to your income, but probably not enough to quit your job. If you job also paid you $35,000 a year, we could say that 50% of your worth is in your human capital because your wages are half of your income stream so it's pointing out an equivalency between an investment that returns $35K a year and a job that returns $35K a year. Other than literally being a value judgement, it's not a value judgement.

I wash mine around once a snow season. Or sooner if I’ve gone on a really dirty summer hike. If the pores of the fabric get clogged with dirt it doesn’t repel water as well.

Wash the jacket, then give it a gentle tumble dry. This warms and reflows the DWR coating. If it isn’t beading and shedding water after this, consider re-applying a DWR. I like nikwax, I find it effective and it’s less horrible than the aerosol ones.

You would have a point if the border deal gave republicans what they wanted but they rejected it anyway. But the border deal is a compromise between Democrats and a minority faction of the Republican Party that wants cheap immigrant labor. It includes things like immediate work permits for illegal border crossers claiming asylum, and enforcement provisions that don’t kick in until 5,000 crossings per month (five times higher than the rate when Obama was President).

Rejecting a compromise bill is in no way “sabotage.” Republicans (probably correctly) perceive that public sentiment about immigration is such that they can hold out for a better deal.

A truer example of “sabotage” would be the immigration compromise under Reagan. There, the parties reached a deal to combine amnesty with stronger border protections. But the second half of that deal never happened.

Regardless, you dodged my point about blue states. If the US government was dysfunctional because of republicans, blue states should be like Denmark—at least within the spheres where the state governments have primacy. Maryland should have world-beating schools, transit, healthcare, compassionate policing, and etc. Almost all of those are domains that are almost exclusively within the province of the states. But as a Maryland resident I can assure you it’s nothing like Denmark. The American inability to operate government effectively and efficiently is a bipartisan issue.
