I disagree: I don't think there's a pure natural impulse to want to help others. It's usually coated with a bunch of other stuff, inadvertently (e.g. when dealing with attractive members of the opposite sex: wanting to prove our value; or when dealing with requests for help within an organization beyond what our job descriptions require: we hope that people will recognize that as we stand we are "undervalued").

I don't think the suggested "requirement" (?) to avoid microagression is to answer both X and Y. I think the suggestion to avoid microagression is to avoid using the term microagression in the first place.

Another one would be to recognize that you are fully within your rights to not offer help where it's not your job to offer help. No one cares if you choose not to answer support requests for your open source project, nor will the world suffer for it.

On the flip side, you can't expect those you do help to care enough to show you respect for your help either. If being respected and/or people making special allowances for your tone is something you do care about, well, then don't help to begin with. Contrary to our self-centered worries, the world will go on fine without us. It might even go on better without us; who is to say, after all? Most certainly not us.

Here's a piece of advice I keep hearing from people who are more powerful than me (Usually, these were also people older than me, but that is becoming less true as I grow older myself.): you're owed absolutely nothing. No one is.

Most human beings on this planet live in full awareness of that fact. So its only a matter of time until those who don't, end up learning that too.

Most chefs don't get to set their own pay rates, nor hours. If a restaurant gave a chef a contract of "come in and help our kitchen team whenever you like, but up to you how often you do" would using the employer's equipment matter?

The things you said (choosing what food to buy etc) just means their boss (ie maybe the owner of the place) has made choosing food part of their job requirement. I can't imagine how being given more responsibility like that is in any way related to contractor or not, as long as the chef's job requires them to provide food to paying customers.

Never heard of that before.

What stands out to me is, that the executive person ordering it, Steve Wymer, was not charged at all, despite making very plain statements:

"Wymer texted Baugh that Ina Steiner was a "biased troll who needs to be BURNED DOWN"; that he wanted "to see ashes"; and that Baugh should do "whatever it takes.""

I would imagine the same will happen here(if it was murder). Some pawns get executed, who "missunderstood their orders".

Mafia bosses seems to operate like this as well. They don't give plain orders to kill someone. But their underlings know what is expected of them, by a certain nod or comment.

In this case there's at least the motive for Boeing to kill him. But in McAfee's case what's the motive for killing him? It seems like the only one going after him was the US (for tax evasion charges). He was already going to be extradited. Why kill him at that point?

I'm simply surprised the man only got 5 years plus 3 years supervised release. He did a lot more than just simply "leak" information in a one time go around, he transferred material to unsecured devices including personal iPods and beyond.

That at least deserves a few more years for mishandling material, the judge even said that the man deserved the highest penalties available. Littlejohn should count his blessings for sure, any other unlucky fellow that was "misguided" as he claims would likely not be treated so fairly.

If you hit the case I did, this will make your queries perform worse: The reason postgres insisted on table scan + sort was the random access time jumping around the disk and constantly invalidating the cache when it did an index scan. Using CLUSTER on the table made the index order match the table order so the index scan didn't jump around and there was no random access penalty - it instead worked with the disk cache.

If you're on an SSD and not a spinning disk, or have a lot of memory and can expect it to all be cached, there's a separate setting you can change to adjust the random access penalty - see random_page_cost on https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-query...

Sofas have many different functions.

Many of the sofas you were looking at were probably designed for a different function than you were seeking.
IANAL. However: SC civil law Rule 32 USE OF DEPOSITIONS IN COURT PROCEEDINGS:
(a)(3) The deposition of a witness, whether or not a party, may be used by any party for any purpose if the court finds:
(A) that the witness is dead; or
etc...

This aligns very closely with the Federal rule on the same:

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 32. Using Depositions in Court Proceedings
(4) Unavailable Witness.
A party may use for any purpose the deposition of a witness, whether or not a party, if the court finds:
(A) that the witness is dead;
etc...

I can't tell which jurisdiction applies here because the news stories on the case itself are all hot garbage, I'm not trying that hard and IANAL, but my guess is it's the latter. Either way, the deposition(s) will likely get in.

Now, anything can happen, but it's hard to imagine Boeing or whomever, knowing that the deposition(s) is likely admissible in the event of the death of Barnett, would then assassinate him.

The cynic in me wonders if Barnett had recently learned his case was about to fall through for some reason we haven't learned of yet.

Lol, I work in the field of test automation and this is exactly how no/low code frameworks get pushed as well. And, it rarely does play out in a way that people think it will.

In fact, having read the entire article, I feel like a lot of it can be applied more broadly. Basically any time people go "X sure is complex, we should make a simple to use framework for non-X folks to use". Not that it will always fail, but I have seen it happen enough to recognize a pattern.

I literally said one must update their priors, not just "accepting" it. Or maybe updating priors is a form of "acceptance", but now you claim it isn't a problem:

> You claim that we should update our priors even based on biased evidence, but I never claimed otherwise

The comment you replied to just answered your question: "is there anything supporting this theory". Presumably everyone here knows basic Bayesian probability, or at least knows how to weigh supporting evidence without just blindly accepting it. Claiming otherwise seems to be rather uncharitable interpretation of the comment you replied to.

I do hope to see something like Texts fully open source, as then it becomes instantly a Beeper killer.

Until then at least hearing if you are willing to to be transparent about your supply chain security strategy would be a great start.

Some of the supply chain integrity tactics I find most companies skip:

1. Are all commits signed with personal engineer HSMs (yubikey, nitrokeys etc)?

2. Are all reviews similarly signed by someone other the author?

3. Does tamper-evident CI/CD (that no single engineer can manipulate) verify these signatures?

4. Is the code for release binaries reproducible?

5. Does more than one system controlled by different employees (or ideally a third party audit firm) build the code at least a second time and get the same hash?

6. Are the app signing keys managed with multi-party custody? (Threshold signing, multiple-in-person witnesses to airgapped signing, or managed in a remotely attestable secure enclave running reproducible firmware?)

7. Does the signing system verify multiple reproducible build signatures before issuing app-store signing keys?

8. Do you provide standalone signed binaries for users to side-load on de-googled devices so users can remove google (and their many partners) from their supply chain attack surface?

9. Do you review any/all of your third party dependencies, and every update to them?

10. Do you build exclusively with multi-signed reproducible OS and system packages?

11. Do you have published audits from reputable third party security firms attesting all your security claims, and all of the above? (Ideally with the exact hashes of the binaries whose sources they audited)

My team and I help companies with most of the above regularly for highly targeted orgs, but it takes a lot of engineering hours to get this stuff right. Failing to do any of the above would put a massive target on a single human or system, and in my experience this always results in a compromise one way or the other for a highly targeted service such as yours.

It is honestly much cheaper to just open source reproducible code, and let the community help check some of supply chain security and accountability boxes for you.

I highly doubt Beeper gets much of the above right either, but by allowing you to self host open source bridges, they grant users with higher risk profiles the option to not trust them a bit less. Granted, if you are self hosting bridges with an open source client, then there is no reason to pay Beeper.

IMO the only reasonable move in this space is to provide turn-key remotely attestable open source bridges paired with an open client to save users work without asking for trust.

Full disclosure, I did do some security and infrastructure consulting work for Beeper a few years ago.

You might scoff and roll your eyes, because to you, it seems easy. But I have seen it first hand for many years. Various online communities (forums, subreddits) I was involved in tried to set up chat side communities through IRC. They never really took of even with heavy promotion and sometimes nifty integrations with the accounts people already had.

Then Discord entered the scene, you only had to post a discord link. Because it was just one click the discord servers would often have more people in them in the period of week than the IRC servers ever had in years.
