It' looks to me like ".home", ".corp", and ".mail" were reserved as "high-risk", and then they refused to approve any of them as gTLDs.

I see an argument that ".dev" should have been considered "high-risk", but it doesn't seem to have been on the list. So this isn't a reason to distrust ICANN when they say they won't be approving ".home", ".corp", and ".mail".
This article is so narrow-minded ..

I've work with physical servers in many compagnies. Every time, storage devices have a lifecycle : they are bought new, then plugged (and some data are written), then some times then move in another physical location, then they "die" (= put to the trash, either because they broke or for other reasons).

Encryption at rest is an efficient way to secure data for the latter cases.

The workers stole a hard disk ? No data is stolen.

A hard disk is lost during transit, somehow ? No data is stolen.

The device which is broken is retrieved by someone, opened-up, and being read-at directly ? No data is stolen.

Your old device, put to the bin for some reasons, that could still be read if plugged on the proper hardware ? No data is stolen.

All of that with little performance impact, and no software modification, few engineering overhead, very little work to do. It eases the lifecycle of storage devices, because storage devices are now worthless per-se (except for their physical cost, indeed). They carry virtually no data, no worth.

Can you propose any other way to protect against those thread models ? Rewrite every software, so that every programs handle their own private keys ? Yeah, that's a nightmare, not gonna happen. And even if it did .. how would you encrypt your rootfs ? Ha yes : encryption at rest :)
Backend-bound workloads that amount to hours of endless multiplication are not that common.

That isn't always true. When I interview HR gives me the exact questions I'm allowed to ask. These are vetted both to prevent me from asking something illegal, and also by research to get the type of things useful for interviews. Sometimes it is annoying - you can easially finish the interview with a great score but I have no clue if you can write code or not. However we are carefully trained on how to ask the questions and how to grade them.
I'm deeply appreciative of the voice of reason in these discussions. My parents raised me in a demon haunted world, and having access to the intellectual tools which brought me out of that world fills me with gratitude toward those who helped make them widely available and continue to do so.

Like many left-ish leaning ideas (I'm one myself), it came from ideas about how to improve the world around us, but when the practical implementation of the great ideas came around they turned out to be far more complicated with unintended negative consequences than most imagined and now we're backtracking from the idea.

The same thing was true with the anti-police movement. We can all see problems with policing and envision alternatives, but most practical attempts to implement alternatives (like the now wildly unpopular reformist prosecutors elected in the bay area) had unintended consequences people didn't expect and got walked back.

BatFi 2.0.0 Is Out
BatFi 2.0.0 is the most significant release to date and perhaps the most substantial one we will ever see. It fundamentally alters the app's core functionality, enhances the user interface, and introduces support for app shortcuts, global hotkeys, and more.

- The minimum charging limit is now lowered to 50%
- Enhanced menu customizability
- Adjustable "Low Battery" notification threshold
- New hotkeys pane in settings
- Enhanced reliability of the helper tool
- Added elapsed time display in the menu
- Added option to show time left when available
- Sleep charging limits options are moved to the charging pane
- Added the ability to inhibit charging and discharge the battery on demand with a command from the menu (or with a hotkey)
- Added support for app intents (Siri Shortcuts) – with them, you can override the charging limit to any value, etc.
- App will send crash reports (to Sentry) by default (it can be disabled in the app's settings)
- Updated app icon
- Refined the status bar icon
- Added tip jar pane
- Improved energy efficiency
- Portuguese (Brazilian) and Dutch localization added
- Accurate battery temperature display
- The battery temperature limit has been increased to 40°C

What do you mean "light" version of encryption?

Anyways, the improved security comes from the fact that even when the server itself is improperly accessed (maliciously or not), the data you aren't currently accessing remains encrypted.

With (just) full disk encryption, you aren't protected when the (running) server is accessed. All of the data can be exfiltrated in plaintext.

Pretty much every intervention that a doctor prescribes does "harness the power of the placebo effect". It just also is effective beyond that effect.

While I believe what you're saying could be true in some cases, I work at a tech giant and there's no "diversity of thought" anyways because anything remotely controversial is not allowed to be discussed at work.

This is a company which went hard on and is now currently backtracking from DEI but this policy of "don't discuss anything controversial at work" has strengthened the entire time making diversity of thought a moot point.
There are some reasons for older people to be in the inner suburbs. For example, better access to public transport as they get too old to drive. Also, with increased healthcare needs being close to major providers/facilities can be beneficial.

The problem is that the area is attractive to everyone. In theory a better approach would be to start new cities to increase the number of inner suburbs. Instead we see cities expand, increasing demand for the limited supply of "good" areas.
The site does show the skp to main content for me using a screen reader. For those using MacOS, you have to change the keyboard navigation method with Option + F7 I think, or go to system settings > keyboard. Originally, Tab only moves to important parts of the window, because MacOS tries so hard to be clever for you.

Honestly, I rarely use skip links, because they sometimes don't even work and just leave my screen reader on the skip link, so I just use headings and landmarks.

For this thread model, the encryption should happen at the volume level, not application level.

Which is also what the author write:

> Unfortunately, for the server-side encryption at rest use case, that’s basically all that Disk Encryption protects against.

Genetic Programming [1], specifically. I have both his two bricks from '92 and '94 (Genetic Programming: On the Programming of Computers by Means of Natural Selection, and Genetic Programming II : Automatic Discovery of Reusable Programs). I've not read his two later ones.

The big problem they seemed to get stuck at was partially doing it fast enough, and partially ending up with a result that was comprehensible. The latter in particular seems to be far better with LLMs. You tended to end up spending a lot of time trying to reorganise and prune trees to get something that you could decipher, and so it seemed like the primary, and too limited, value became algorithms where you could invest a lot of resources into trying to find more optimal versions of very small/compact algorithms you could justify spending time on. But the challenged there is that there are often so many far lower hanging fruits in most code bases that few people get to the point where it's worth trying.

I still love the idea at a conceptual level...

Instead of disabling it completely, you can set it to 'relaxed'. That still allows network access, but maintains the other isolation guarantees.

Obviously this introduces a potential impurity. I use it for installing NeoForge into a minecraft server derivation; the downloaded files could change behind my back, but so long as the version doesn't change it should still be compatible. It hasn't yet caused trouble.

NixOS has a lot of escape hatches once you look around, and you shouldn't be afraid to use them. The downside of impure derivations aren't quite as bad as not-using-derivations, anyway.

Another option is to declare it as a fixed-output derivation, in which case network access is enabled by default. This doesn't work for most installers, though; at a minimum you'll need to delete logfiles that might contain timestamps.
>This article is so narrow-minded ..

Indeed, they said exactly that. See:

Got to remember that there is a great financial incentive for trials to come out positive. Who pays for clinical trials?
Assuming full-disk encryption is in use (LUKS, TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt, BitLocker, etc.), there is enough information held in RAM to decrypt the entire disk. If the attacker gains access to a privileged user, or at least to a user allowed to read the file system (such as the user running the database), they can exfiltrate the unencrypted contents of the disk, regardless of what the DB software is actively accessing.

> […] if the group is filled with morons that "think for themselves" (aka selfish assholes) then the dial will grind slower […]

That’s basically my point. The group is already behaving as you describe. (Else transmission wouldn’t be high already.)

It’s OK to bemoan it. But it’s not reasonable to expect people to behave in a way that ignores reality on the ground.

> Most people are fucking stupid.

No, I don’t believe that. I can get on board with a criticism that many behaviours are automatic, and we are not always making conscious decisions. But in general, people are not stupid.

> There's nothing rational about not wearing a mask in high risk situation […]

It can readily be rationalised, but on the basis that it’s not actually a high risk situation.
> Microsoft's complete lack of any security consciousness is genuinely scary. They control so much of the world's personal and enterprise computing it's not even funny.

So this is funny in a way, because MS had such a terrible and mostly deserved security reputation with Windows...and then they really cleaned and tightened it up. Windows had and continues to have one of the best OS security architectures, and is certainly the best out of all consumer operating systems.

But with the cloud stuff and embarrassing gaffs like this, what the hell happened? New managers and a lot of employee turnover, I guess?
After some research I realized that since 2010 at least (probably true if you go back a bit, but I didn't) EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN has been fined for major violations of campaign finance laws (usually related to in-kind contributions, or expenses FEC decides to make election expenses later on).

In other words, it seems impossible to run for president without breaking the law.

This is not okay. One of the issues here is that by making candidates break a law, you basically now have some kind of weird leverage over them. You can make threats to prosecute or fine further and thus have them by the proverbial balls. You also naturally push away people who would be wanting to follow the law, which I argue is sorely needed in Washington DC.

This opens the door to a lot of bad bad bad blackmail opportunities.

If no party and no candidate is able to stage a presidential campaign without being fined, ranging from Trump's chaotic, high energy campaigns to Clinton's 'proper' campaign with lots of decorum to Biden's bring-back-normal campaign, then I think something is seriously the matter with campaign finance laws.

Ideally, fines are a rare occurrence.

Proper OpsSec is a luxury. With crypto: You lose your password, your money is gone. Your password is stolen, your money is gone.

Credit card fees are high in bank-friendly jurisdictions. Not in most jurisdictions. PayPal only came about because the banking system in the US is so utter crap - that doesn't mean that it's bad as bad elsewhere.

The crappiness of banks is contingent on bad regulation. The crappiness of crypto is inherent in the sub-par technology: adding a constraint (eg permissionlessness) is costly.

But there is one difference between the 80s and now. If you got hired in the 80s, the company would train you in their processes and the systems you would work on. This is even if you had experience, only the training would be more intense. In some cases, you were not expected to be productive even after 1 month.

Now, no matter your experience, you are expected to know what to do the very second you walk in the door. I have seen this a lot over the past 20+ years. Plus if it seems you are not a quick learner, out the door you go.

edit: fixed spelling of walk :)
I admit I'm a bit confused by the reward function, as given it seems to provide the same score independent of correctness due to the squaring? And I think even if that's a mistake and it's supposed to be negative for incorrect answers, a policy that optimizes for that reward is to output 1 for anything with less than a 50% chance of being true and 10 for anything over 50%. Is that how RL is typically done?
My question is more about the transitions— how much of a bother it would be to get the pantograph up and down. Like, would you want the 20-30% of the electrified line to be a single continuous section down the middle of it, or can you have it be 30% of every block with gaps anywhere it's even slightly inconvenient to route the line?
Yes. I think its laudable for a department to bear DEI in mind, but requiring every individual professor to work towards it too is frankly a bit totalitarian.
