What layer do nukes honestly give you that your chemical and bioweapons don’t? All are taboo to use. If shit hits the fan its far easier to gas and plague the country than to develop and successfully deploy nuclear weapons.

Meant to talk about switching from industry to academia. A rather embarassing omission indeed, sorry!
As a comment on the LWN article noted, it might be better to think of it as a safety feature, not a security feature.
States don't care.
I think for me it’s not having a time pressure - if it takes me 2 weeks spending 2 hours a day to implement something there’s no issue when it’s just projects for myself (I’ve basically written a PWA for tracking my pay, hours, rest time etc which I use every day, and implement a new feature I decide would be useful when it comes up, so kind of the ultimate dog-fooding)
As much as I like ragging on the softies--and lol my good sir--it's the existence of power that is a threat. The current captain, or their whims, or our belief in them, they are a sense only and no guarantee.
This particular hijack has little to do with being open/closed source (Fritz!Box was open source for many years though). They have been around forever, I don't think custom TLDs such as .box were a thing when they chose fritz.box as the default name.

To academia. Was quite a crucial thing to miss in my comment, thanks for pointing out!
I know this is a highly subjective and controversial opinion, but to me this syntax looks even worse than Rust, which I already can't read.
Sort of, they're typically classified as xdr or similar.
Certainly. It’s not like giving them the source code would increase risk significantly, if the software is designed well. I think it would actually strengthen as more researchers would study and submit contribs.

I think Linux is as or more secure than windows and it’s open source. There’s tons of sensitive systems that are open source.

It’s a design fallacy that security through obscurity is good.
You do realise you'll have half a ship, not two ships then?

Defence in depth is expensive, infrastructure at scale is expensive, it would be difficult and more expensive to have a bunch of small operators reach the same level considering the initial cost and overhead.

I'm sure though that such equally viable alternatives could be built, but not by splitting existing ones.

Indeed, one of my favorite inconvenient truths is that geo-blocking remains one of the most effective, and essentially free attack surface reductions you can make.

If all your staff are in a country, there's no reason for your internal tools to be accessible from any other country. If all of your customers are in a country, there's no reason for any of your web presence to be accessible from any other country.
I mean... soviets had both those too, and a few nukes on cuba caused such a crisis, that the sanctions are still in place there

Luckily we have UN, which can vote against sanctions,... oh wait, they did that:

https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/11/1143112

> General Assembly votes overwhelmingly against US Cuba embargo

> Those in favour: 187

> Those against: 2 (the US and Israel)

> Abstentions: 1 (Ukraine)

Guess what, sanctions are still in place :)
I noticed a lot of comments explaining the same thing, but also some confirming my observations. So far it appears the issue is mostly present if you have configured a separate DNS server in the DHCP settings, e.g. DNS is resolved somewhere outside the Fritz!Box. I will investigate further and update the article.
It’s the most amazing AI system out there. I got fsd a few months ago and the rate of improvement is astonishing, I go about 100-200 miles between disengagements now and have zero intervention drives to the grocery. It’s much better than a regular Uber or Lyft driver.

Because auditable does not mean the same thing as audited. It is silly that people keep pushing that dead argument after Heartbleed pounded a stake through its heart. Audits are time consuming, challenging, and boring. Experience shows even critical, high profile projects hardly get any review at all by the "world", let alone actual audits by competent domain experts.

Quality verification depends on auditing and auditing depends on competent, trusted review and testing. Global transparency is not a substitute for auditing except when discussing absolute rock-bottom standards. Reviewable is significantly better than unreviewed and unreviewable, but that is the lowest possible bar. Unfortunately, software does, as a general rule, have rock-bottom auditing standards, so FOSS does provide meaningful assurance increases in many use cases. But, that is a artifact of the abysmal quality standards rather than any sort of inherent auditing advantage that FOSS provides. That is not to say that global transparency is not valuable for other reasons, but it provides no meaningful quality verification or auditing advantage in serious applications versus local transparency (to the trusted reviewer).

If you want to see how this works in practice, look at literally every other industry.
Not sure about that. North Korea still remains an international pariah, nuke or not, and Russia isn't doing too well in Ukraine either. Of course Japan periodically complains of NK threat, but considering how much the Japanese right wing wants to arm the country again, NK is just being a very convenient excuse for them.

Ironically, one major consequence of North Korean nukes is that there's now zero chance America will unilaterally decide to "liberate" the country, Iraq style. Being South Korean, I'm okay with that.
The government can just as easily rate the service instead of shutting anything down.

If your country has any consumer protection body, it already has all the data it need to rate them.

Pardon the cliffhanger style.

I have begun crafting an explanation, but not sure when it will be ready.

But when you recognize that thinking predates symbolic language, and start thinking about what thinking needs, you get closer to the answer.

I tried most of them over the years. Google lost files, OneDrive took forever, iCloud is too limited. SpiderOak was massively slow. Dropbox was the best for performance and reliability but eventually I tried PCloud and have used it happily for years since (with the encryption extra, which is seamless).

Not had any issues with performance or reliability at all (except with synced Calibre folders, but that's been the case with all the others too). Gigs of stuff are moved around in single digit hours at most; usually less. Smaller changes are almost instant across my Mac, Linux, and Windows laptops.

I don't like their pushing for lifetime plans though - I'd rather they didn't frontload their income as I want them to stay around.

I call bullshit. Someone, somewhere long ago deep inside of the bowels of the NSA decided to deprioritize actual security, and the use of the capability security model. They knowingly did this, because actually secure computing (which they already had at the time[1,2,3]) represented a threat to the NSA, or so they thought at the time. The trade-offs seemed acceptable, because there were systemic approaches at the time that could keep things secure via other means, such as air-gapping, TEMPEST screening, etc.

Much like the consumer decision on the other side of that secrecy barrier, when it was decided the MULTICS was too complex, and you really didn't need all of that complexity (to allow mutli-level security), the easing of hardware requirements, and systems design time all seemed worth it.

Here we are 50 years later, and both decisions have proven to be disastrous. We've swiss-cheesed our infrastructure in a manner that can only be hinted at metaphorically. The closest analogies I know are:

Imagine the power grid and modern society, with absolutely zero circuit breakers or fuses.

Imagine running an economy without being able to divide wealth into uniform small amounts, dollars, cents, etc.

In both cases, everything becomes all or nothing. This is what we have with computers, all or nothing. You have to trust software you run, or you simply can't run it. It's the same with the "License Agreement", nobody actually reads them, and nobody tries to enforce them, yet there they are.

It's possible to have secure computing, we had it in the 1980s, but we didn't realize it. It was crude, but effective, because we had systems with no persistent internal storage, and we could write protect the storage we had. Thus it was possible to manage data, and the side effects allowed, in a simple, powerful way by simply not putting data at risk, making copies, and using those instead.

Until we reverse the bad decisions of the 1970s, we're going to keep up the deranged behavior, blaming everything and everyone, and ignoring the one way out of this.

You shouldn't ever have to trust a program you execute to behave in the manner you expect. Your computer should enforce the limits you expect, and the program should have zero ways around those limits.

> I do know that some agencies have full access to some Microsoft source code.

Access does not mean open source. Open source = OSI and what I think GP meant. And I hold the sentiment that government funded development should be open source.
I'm very aware of those issues. My full name has four words, it does not fit into first/last name fields. I have to deal with that problem constantly. I'm reminded of it every single time I pay for something with a credit card due to their idiotic first/last name fields. Some of them even have length limits.

This is a non-issue with Open Street Map. Tags are freeform. You can input literally anything into the database. You can have simple tags or ridiculously detailed and nested schemas, and values can be literally any text. You can and should seek community consensus so that a controlled vocabulary can be created and documented, effectively turning it into an API. It's not actually required though. If you have geospatial information and you add it to the map, the map is made richer and more useful than it was before. The map didn't have that data at all and now it does. Doesn't actually matter if the format hasn't been agreed upon yet, it can always be edited later so that it fits into a more regular format. I did a lot of tagging and schema improvements in my city.

Software that consumes the Open Street Map dataset obviously won't render the data it doesn't understand. They should be made to understand more stuff. Software can always be updated to make the most of data. The data has to actually be there to be usable though. The software won't matter at all if the data is missing or if it's garbage.
So that's already happened. It's called an algae bloom. They don't necessarily fix their own nitrogen though, we fix it for them and dump it into oceans (we're quite a bit better at it than nature at this point). Biological fixation of nitrogen like this would be overly complicated to engineer (compared to regular symbiosis like between legumes and root bacteria) and isn't as energy efficient (plants would waste a lot of energy maintaining the organelles). We have gotten quite good at pulling nitrogen from the air and turning it into bioavailable nitrogen and flooding ecosystems with it already. In terms of how we keep them at bay, we don't it's kind of a problem.
Black Mirror is fiction, a lot of it works well thanks to our suspension of disbelief.

Remove cloud from the equation, replacing it with a properly safeguarded fully owned hardware located on your own premises - basically make it privacy-respecting, minimizing abuse potential, do a proper audit, and it becomes a super desirable system for people with neurological differences (or just stressed folks - attention and memory suffer under the stress too), a glasses that enhance memory rather than vision. Sure, not without caveats and gotchas (don’t bring it to a poker night lol), but not that cyberpunky-bad either.

Closed source is a recipe for disaster. Many attacks on important infrastructure have been because of closed source/proprietary software.

At Software Arts I wrote or worked on the IL interpreter for the TRS 80 Model III, the DEC Rainbow, the Vector Graphic, the beginnings of the Apple Lisa port, as well as the IBM PC port. To put you into the state of mind at the time,

- in the pre-PC era, the microcomputer ecosystem was extremely fragmented in terms of architectures, CPUs, and OS's. 6502, z80, 68K, z8000, 8088. DOS, CPM, CPM/86, etc. Our publisher (Personal Software) wanted as much breadth of coverage, as you might imagine

- one strong positive benefit of porting from 6502 assembly to IL and using an interpreter was that it enabled the core code to remain the same while leaving the complex work of paging and/or memory mapping to the interpreter, enabling access to 'extended memory' without touching or needing to re-test the core VisiCalc code. Same goes for display architectures, printer support, file system I/O, etc.

- another strong benefit was the fact that, as the author alludes to, the company was trying to transition to being more than a one hit wonder by creating a symbolic equation solver app - TK!Solver - that shared the interpreter.

Of course, the unavoidable result is that the interpreter - without modern affordances such as JIT compilation - was far less snappy than native code. We optimized the hell out of it and it wasn't unusable, but it did feel laggy.

Fast forward to when I left SoftArts and went across the street to work for my friend Jon Sachs who had just co-founded Lotus with Mitch Kapor. Mitch & Jon bet 100% that the PC would reset the ecosystem, and that the diversity of microcomputers would vanish.

Jon single-handedly wrote 1-2-3 in hand-tuned assembly language. Yes, 1-2-3 was all about creating a killer app out of 1.spreadsheet+2.graphics+3.database. That was all Mitch.
But, equally, a killer aspect of 1-2-3 was SPEED. It was mind-blowing. And this was all Jon. Jon's philosophy was that there is no 'killer feature' that was more important than speed.

When things are moving fast and the industry is taking shape, you make the best decisions you can given hunches about the opportunities you spot, and the lay of the technical and market landscape at that moment. You need to make many key technical and business decisions in almost an instant, and in many ways that determines your fate.

Even in retrospect, I think the IL port was the right decision by Dan & Bob given the microcomputing ecosystem at the time. But obviously Mitch & Jon also made the right decision for their own time - just a matter of months later. All of them changed the world.
I can't speak for the mentioned app (rem), but I built my own app with a similar feature set called ScreenMemory (https://screenmemory.app). Which I have obviously used for an extended period of time (coming up on 7 months I believe).

My main and daily use case it to look back at the previous day - this is helpful for standups, retros, and so on. I skim through my days (sometimes weeks) to pick up on what I was working on - it's incredible how much "untracked" work is performed that you pick up on. Sometimes I forget who exactly I talked to about something, but just knowing the rough date I can usually find something to jog my memory.

Obviously I am biased, but still!

Man, if English is the only human language in this world, who would need UTF-8?
The other encodings exist because they are more efficient for the other languages. Especially, for the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. UTF-8 takes 50% more space than the alternatives. To bad modern Linux systems only support UTF-8 locales.
It's an feature behind a commandline option?

Its a concept album that celebrates the last 60 years of music history. Understandably a lot happened in those decades and cramming all that onto a single LP would lead spirit of the beehive style insanity. I think a double LP makes tons of sense here, the album is only 2 hours long so not like the length is absolutely insane. Obviously its not the tightest, but I think that lets the influences shine even more.

Music critics also love concept albums, I think because they spend all day listening to music so something unique is especially intriguing to them.

My exp with things like this is they tend to overwhelmingly be highly exploitive and target vulnerable people. The biggest clue is that almost none of these types of places will publicly provide whatever the arrangement is. You usually have to jump through hours of hoops to even find out the details because they don't want the information getting out due to what I just wrote.

On the other side its a really quick filter. Can you send me the details now? Not until you come to our onsite 4hr (brainwashing)meeting, Nope! moving on.
I always imagined that after they added the voice coils for body stabilization, the high resolution shooting modes could be added at no cost, so they just added them.
Ah, knocking all the chess pieces off the board and strutting away. It's funner to actually think about the interesting problem tho. I just got back from a weekend EUC race at Alameda naval tarmac, I love pushing what the things are capable of.

You joined the comment tree of "I don't think (electric included) unicycles will ever have the same stopping performance of conventional vehicles" and have taken the position of defending that absolutist statement.

I get it, not everyone is familiar with EUC racing. To help, here is a photo of the average hard brake from 40+mph on a modern EUC (probably a ET Max or Lynx or similar high kilowatt wheel), since you might not be familiar with what we are discussing -

https://i.imgur.com/pDzPtvB.png

Notice how far you lean to decelerate from speed. Note the handle you can yank as you buck your bodyweight back. That all forces the controller to compensate with more kilowatts of stopping power, instantly righting the gyro sensor. The more you try to tip it backwards, the harder it brakes to force itself back upright.

I don't have a mythbusters style video to make it crystal clear that you're wrong, but sounds like its a good idea, by how folks are reacting to the news. I'll suggest it to my youtuber friends.

For now, try to imagine a vehicle that invalidates your position. We only need one example after all, it being an absolutist statement. Think of edge cases. Something that skids around a lot. Fixie bike in NYC? The kind you see messengers whizzing around on all the time, that can only skid their rear wheel, and have no front brake, by design. Still defending the claim?

And to your point - an F1 car with thousands of pounds of aerodynamic downforce will stop shorter than an EUC, absolutely. We agree there.
