Terminals report their location. DoD has authority over part of the constellation. SpaceX has this info. Geofencing terminals is a native capability.
It is more nuanced than this. A startup is virtually never a "national security project" even if they end up involved in an actual national security project. The kinds of background checks startups do are the same as any other company in any industry. It has nothing to do with national security. There are many things that can factor into a citizenship constraint depending on the type of business.

A "real" national security background check requires support and sponsorship from a national government, and governments don't provide that casually to anyone that asks. If a startup finds themselves with national security customers, there is no requirement for the startup to go full-on Secret Squirrel but governments will calibrate their trust in the startup by how seriously the startup takes security and how diligent they are when vetting employees. It does not involve everyone getting a security clearance, which would not be possible anyway if the startup works with multiple national governments.

I find the opposite situation is more common in practice: startups that find themselves in the national security space are often naive about what constitutes a baseline level of security, vetting their employees, and the pervasiveness and character of espionage programs.

It is important to recognize that national security considerations are starting to affect startups that never go anywhere near national security customers due to escalating concerns and increased rigor around software supply chains. You may not have an interest in national security but national security may take an interest in you. This has ramifications for many software business models.

How is this different from Pothos, type-graphql or typegql? This announcement post doesn’t really have much to show for. I’d expect some comparison with other products that are on the market already
The move from bard to gemini seems especially dumb to me.

I never know what anyone is talking about when a headline mentions gemini. I usually have to start reading the article before I realize it's about Google's Gemini AI. Didn't have that issue with Bard.
I would have no problem at all with the kernel developers introducing the concept of a "universal bug identifier," and developing a system for cataloguing and managing those UBIDs. I would also have no issue with CVEs being replaced by a set of flags on those UBIDs, which people could take notice of or ignore as they saw fit.

I do have a problem with the kernel devs attempting to burn down the only system we presently have, however terrible it is, and with HN justifying the bonfire on the basis that CVEs were always broken anyway.
It feels like you're picking apart an argument I didn't make. But I would note that most people don't see this so unambiguously as the position you're defending. To give you an analogy: doxxing is "fair game" too if you posted your info online or gave it to others. But it's not exactly cool to do it, right? It's a subversion and abuse of the system we have in place.

Finally, here's a fun experiment: decide that terms of service don't matter and start building a product by scrapping Facebook or Google. See how they'd react. Actually, no need for guesswork - they clutched their pearls and threatened legal action more than once before. It's a bit of a "have your cake and eat it too" kind of a deal. Their data is precious intellectual property; your stuff is, well, up for grabs.

I was a Solaris admin in those days. No one was impressed with the changes. I still, even after all these years, recall the BSD command differences. For whatever reason, I still sometimes enter a random BSDism command on the Linux command line and then say, "Ooops, wrong command. I cannot believe I did that." Especially since I've run Debian stable for the better part of 20 years on and off with attempts to like other distros like Fedora or Arch. Still working in IT closing in on 60 years of age. Still love being a sysadmin. Still love writing shell scripts and automating things.
One interesting case, an outsider artist, is Henry Darger "In the Realms of the Unreal"

> In the Realms of the Unreal is a 15,145-page work bound in fifteen immense, densely typed volumes (with three of them consisting of several hundred illustrations, scroll-like watercolor paintings on paper derived from magazines and coloring books) created over six decades. Darger illustrated his stories using a technique of traced images cut from magazines and catalogues, arranged in large panoramic landscapes and painted in watercolors, some as large as 30 feet wide and painted on both sides. He wrote himself into the narrative as the children's protector.[3]: 64

TikTok vs. Washington: It's On
To be fair though, Apple doesn't "have a say" in what you do with your computer after it's sold to you. You can do whatever you want with your computer hardware. Where they DO have a say is in what their software does, software which you don't own. You're merely granted a license to use it. It sucks, but that's how intellectual property works in today's world.

If you want to make an argument for requiring Apple (et al) to provide straightforward mechanisms for rejecting the supplied software and installing alternative operating systems (e.g. Asahi Linux) then I'll support it to the ends of the earth. I'd be your most vocal supporter. I'd be delighted if this was a legal requirement of all computer hardware, from mainframes to microwaves.

If you want to make an argument for software developers (operating system or otherwise) to be legally required to make their software do anything their customers demands it do (or what another billion dollar corporation like Epic Games demands) then I think that's utterly mad. What would be the self-limiting principle other than to only apply it to exceptionally successful products, with the threshold of success defined by lobbyists of competitors/opponents?

> There should be an O notation which takes into account everything - various kinds of memory latencies, speed of logic operations

O notation is useful as-is because it simplifies an algorithm down to the bare bones. If such simplification doesn't capture what is important to you, you need a more complex model.

The folks designing GPUs use multiple different such models, ranging from the simple, inaccurate, understandable and fast; to the obnoxiously detailed, precise, abstruse and slow.

Not one model will ever have all the desirable properties, because they are in direct contradiction.

Steady but Niche Progress in 3D Printing
I agree, although this isn't as noticeable as it is on a true low dpi screen. In the monitor market anything higher resolution than a 27 inch 4K tends to be ludicrously expensive, and won't be an option for most people. With Windows having pretty functional fractional scaling, I doubt anything higher than 4K will ever become mainstream, since at the distance you are using your desktop monitor, more resolution is of limited value.
That doesn't tell us whether the photos are actually from the IDF, whether they were modified, where and when they were taken, what the context for the photos is, whether the narrative added to the photos (the one you are asserting and apparently someone else originally put forward) is accurate. It's just two collections of bits that someone posted online.

People are easily misled by those things, including you and me. We don't have time or skill or resources to do the verification. But one efficient solution is for someone to develop those skills and resources professionally, and to spend the time to use them. Those people are called journalists, among other things.

Stop reading X, which we can't interpret accurately (as is extremely well demonstrated billions of times) and start reading something professionally verified. That's my advice, at least.

If you are pro-Israeli, realize that Hamas uses X to mislead and influence public opinion. If you believe there is truth to Israel's position, then X - probably the world's leading mechanism for disinformation and misinformation - is a threat to Israel.

I used LabVIEW for a couple of years. The big issue for me was ergonomics. Coding was physically laborious, and I went home with splitting eyestrain headaches. It occurred to me at the time that a dataflow programming language could support either text or graphical input, depending on the user's ergonomic preferences. I have the same problem with CAD.

Right, but the line of contact is very fluid. As things stand, the Russians today could be occupying territory that was held by Ukrainians yesterday. Unless the geofencing is very adaptive, perhaps unreasonably adaptive, I imagine it is unlikely to update quickly enough.

They're always deterministic in some sense (and as long as your OS respects the rounding mode after a context switch properly). This might sound pedantic but it determines how we think about floats — the behaviour is specified quite exactly.
I don't think that's safe at all. Catastrophic cancellation would be quite a lot less catastrophic if rounding errors were random but accurate on average.

> There is nothing naive or idealistic about his position.

Assuming you can just ask people to risk their lives to defend the state is both. (Not that it can't work in some circumstances)

> Forcefully catching unwilling civilians and sending to slaughter is a human sacrifice going against the very idea of human rights.

No, and I already explained why not: if you arrest an innocent person (or even sentence an innocent person to life in prison), you're obviously harming that person's freedom, but the alternative is to either:

- be perfect and never make mistakes: here's the naivety and idealism again

- resign from the justice system and have anarchy (that's not an improvement by any stretch of imagination)

Similarly with wars and conscription: without it, most (all?) states are too weak to defend and fall. Guess who defeats those states? Competing states with worse human rights (forced draft) or perhaps much worse human rights.

So Ukraine could just allow everyone to run away and let russia win. I can see some hypothetical back and forth between us, where we would eventually agree on a scenario where russia takes Ukraine and maybe some more states outside of NATO but eventually the NATO border stops the advances, and so I won't make an argument that people will eventually no longer have a place to escape to.

Here's the thing, however: people could easily escape before the war. By staying in the country, they agreed to the rules: everyone knew, that in case of war (that was looming for quite a long while) conscription will happen.
Being born someone does not force you to have an undying allegiance to that place, what are you on about?

CVSS is a Ouija board. Nobody takes it seriously. It was also introduced long after CVEs were. And even if it was meaningful --- it isn't, but stipulate --- it wouldn't change the fundamental point of CVEs.

> There's been plenty of road diets in my area where 4 lanes where reduced to 2, and this had no effect on travel time, capacity.

Sorry. I'm going to ask for a reference.

I'm also going to challenge you because I have dealt with an old city with sections with mostly 2 lane roads and driving through it SUUUUUUCKS (see: Pittsburgh--particularly the areas Wilkinsburg, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Bloomfield, etc.).

In all of the places that I have lived (all in the US), roads are expensive enough that they rarely get overbuilt past 2 lanes unless required by capacity (generally) or by law (rarer). A 4 lane road almost always indicates that the original 2 lane road hit 100% capacity at least some hours of the day and was painful enough that somebody, somewhere had enough political pressure to kick off the project to upgrade the number of lanes.

I am trying to think of a 4 lane road anywhere I have lived that could be downgraded to 2 lanes and am really struggling. Maybe Western Pennsylvania, somewhere. Some of the towns where the mills and mines collapsed probably have some overbuilt roads.

It's kind of interesting because I find that this discussion mirrors the people pushing roundabouts in the US without understanding traffic differences. UK traffic is medium speed and medium density for most of the day in most areas where roundabouts work best. The problem is that US traffic tends to be 100+% during a couple of hours in the day and much lower utilization at other times--roundabouts fail really hard in those conditions.

These are always neither motivated by lofty architectural goals to “do things correctly” of many collaborative open source projects that forgot about laymen-ergonomics entirely, nor user-acquisition driven dark-pattern minefields of sluggish eye candy entirely focused on exploiting the aforementioned laymen-approachability, instead just being small-scope, pragmatic UX solutions to solve minuscule pain-/friction-points in interacting with Windows that are too fragmented to be part of some overarching software utility. They replace the typical SEO shovelware web app/adware that you get when searching on Google for “how do you do X on windows” that sends you to some factory-stamped installshield executable which does nothing more than passing command line arguments to some existing open-source CLI software that neglected laymen-usability.

> There’ll be a lot more time wasted in orgs triaging non-security-relevant bugs in the future.

The security team instituting those processes only have themselves to blame.

Have had to deal with too many rapid Jackson updates for "if you turn on the insecure mode that nobody turns on that lets the client specify the classes to instantiate and the documentation warns you about and requires a code change to enable, and include library X, then there's a new gadget that does RCE".
This so much. GenAI is already replacing mundane searchs and pretty soon enough we're going to see no less ads, if not more, since AI costs significantly more than just a search, than we do now with normal searchs.

Still, you got it wrong: It wasn't cognitive dissonance, but miscommunication. I'm not trying to score a point; I'm trying to say that jumping to conclusions - despite it's popularity these days - often yields wrongness, and we all are especially prone to it when we are emotionally charged. Curiosity, as a policy and rule, is an effective prophylactic against screwing yourself. :)
> I feel like the fix there is that the rules for publishing works of the deceased should be different, e.g. it is immediately in the public domain so that there is no (or at least less) financial incentive since the original author has already decided not to profit from it.

Hmm, seems I'm not the only one.
I wonder how much time discussing if something is or isn’t a CVE has wasted.

The power law of good behavior
How long were those pieces?
I think I speak for the whole 0day and 1day market when I say "Thank you for this idiocy, Linux community"

In their attempt to get revenge on security researchers for 'being more important', they have made it much easier for us to keep our exploits on the market for longer than before.

The idea that 'only the latest linux kernel is secure' is absolutely bananas, because it completely disregards the fact that legacy systems exist, they power very critical parts of our society, and they cannot be updated (as a general rule). Only components can be updated in-place.

So, again: thank you for the free money and for making exploits have a longer shelf life.
The Start button is (or at least used to be) a Window. And in the first Release of they forgot to remove the window control menu - the thing that opens/used to open when you click the program icon on the top left corner. Obviously there was no program icon to click, but you could use a shortcut to open it. Then you could select "move" and move the start button on the task bar or even close it. After you closed it, it was gone and you had to kill explorer.exe via task manager and restart it, to get it back. I can't remember the shortcut, it must have been something like alt+-.

In older programs this menu is still around and you can still use it to close programs, like you did in Windows 3.1 days. Even doubleclicking the icon in the top left corner still works to close those programs.
