I've come to see "No alcohol while pregnant" as the better simple rule. The alternative is "No more than X drinks in a day, and no more then Y drinks over your pregnancy." There will be a lot of people failing to remember the numbers (especially after a drink), the numbers vary by body type, the effects vary a lot between pregnancies for no known reason, drinking impairs decision-making, and the bad outcomes harm somebody besides the mother.

Public health guidelines targeted at non-professionals need to be simple. Same idea behind telling somebody who just wants a retirement fund to park their money in a managed portfolio, then ease those investments into safer stuff close to retirement. You could totally explain things in more detail, giving them more options and better opportunities, but most people are likely to not understand enough to safely do it. (I probably explained it incorrectly, which would reinforce my point of the general public's ignorance.)
For the MS size entities, the risk calculation is way more complicated. The 1:1 between cost of mitigation vs cost of exploitation only applies to opportunistic attacks, really. At the level where APTs get involved, the data / access might be so valuable that they'd gladly outspend blue team's budget by a factor of 10-100.
The Rise of the "Software Creator"
Hahah oh man, do you have a link? I'd love to have an opinion on who's right.
I have gotten requests on LinkedIn, but they're all automated about how awesome my experience is and how this job would match.

My profile is marked as remote only. The offers are all on-site.

So I have my doubts that it is a match.
Because OEMs want you to be their puppet. So they need to remain in control on the "cars" the sell, to resell driving data to insurances, video to various third party (including porn ones) just to cite recent "scandals", and they need to justify the absurd price of new macro-bugs on wheels.

Unfortunately most citizens do not even understand the tech so they do not even know that the crappy car-app is actually connected to the OEM servers like the car, they do not even know the car collect gazillion of data and so on. So the OEM can do pretty whatever they want, the percentage of people who understand is so little that nobody hear them.
Notice that it's only mobile where that's a problem; x86 machines have apparently been doing the impossible for ~30 years now. And no, modems aren't an excuse; the modem itself can't be FOSS (probably) but it's just a self-contained device running its own firmware; there's nothing stopping you communicating with it via FOSS drivers.
What the US Should Do to Answer the China Challenge
I’m not saying that.

I’m saying you’re presenting an amateur-hour legal theory on why our highest court shouldn’t have taken the case, because Congress said they couldn’t. Even though there are constitutional restrictions to when Congress can make such exemptions, and the SCOTUS can rule on them as they please (in practice).

Your argument to the contrary is about as interesting as Soverign Citizen understandings of law. I suppose we’re still ruled by George III and have been in a 248-year state of rebellion.
It's old -- I'd guess from the mid 80s. Branded Kenmore and made by Frigidaire/Electrolux. It was free. The controls themselves were basic electromechanical things -- the clock/timer doesn't do anything but display time/timer and beep.

When I first got it, I assumed it was driven by AC as many clock ICs once were back in those simpler times.

But then I discovered a small low voltage DC power supply when I was in there installing a PID controller for the oven, so it may actually have something resembling software. Maybe.

And yeah, unresponsive physical controls are a pox. I'm not sure what method you used, but perhaps contacting the companies that design and build the boards might be better than contacting the companies that buy the boards and install them.
I'm curious, do you feel the same for places that reach 40F? 30F? Because heating is a bigger problem than cooling when it comes to contributions towards climate change. Why do I only ever see people railing against people living in hot places, rather than people living in cold places?

If you don't mind sharing, i'm curious to know where you live. I live in North central Oak Cliff which is a large, predominantly hispanic, area consisting of multiple neighborhood just SSW of downtown Dallas. In my neighborhood there's a local Mercado that i can walk to for small things, i speak enough Spanish to manage but I'm eyed with suspicion from when i go in to when i leave. My wife is a HS teacher with about 25% of her students being undocumented. They use a bus service in Oak Cliff to freely move back and forth to Mexico, i'm not sure how that works but that's what they use.

My son's middle school is a DISD public magnet in a wealthy area called Preston Hollow. The middle school is probably 85-90% hispanic and despite my kids being 1/2 Mexican they have faced enough racism and abuse that my wife and I have had multiple meetings with the administration to address it. African American kids face it even worse. One other anecdote, when my kids were in elementary some of their calsses were taught in Spanish because my kids and one other were the only ones who spoke English. The teachers, who barely spoke English themselves, got in trouble for that. Ironically, if you want true diversity in Dallas schools you have to pay/be admitted to the elite private schools.

All this to say, in my experience, neighborhoods consisting of mostly undocumented immigrants and cities welcoming of undocumented immigrants aren't that great... unless you're an undocumented immigrant.
Right, but this is the court declaring the constitution unconstitutional. Something anyone that subscribes to originalism or textualism should be disturbed by.

This is an activist action by the entire court.

Interesting. This:

let a:String = "a" as String
let b:String = "b" as String
let c:String = "c" as String
let d:String = "d" as String
let e:String = "e" as String
let n:Int = 11 as Int

print((a + b + c) + n + d + e)

...has the long timeout, while:

let a:String = "a" as String
let b:String = "b" as String
let c:String = "c" as String
let d:String = "d" as String
let e:String = "e" as String
let n:Int = 11 as Int

print((a + b + c) as String + n + d + e)

...fails pretty much instantaneously.
Most usages of `unsafe` are necessary because of FFI calls into code written in C, into syscalls, into hardware memory-mapped regions, or other things outside of Rust's control. Without this ability, Rust wouldn't be able to call itself a systems language.

There are also some usages of `unsafe` for constructs (like linked lists) that the borrow-checker does not support. Those could theoretically be checked, but as far as I know a practical/pragmatic way of doing that has yet to be invented.
This was a difficult case for them to "follow their heart" in because the lower court had given standing that was so egregiously out of place that it would mean that standing would be given in similar cases having nothing to do with abortion. This could threaten some other sacred cows, and they never wanted that broad definition of standing in the first place.

Some (e.g. the Strict Scrutiny podcast) have speculated that some cases are meant to make the SC look moderate, by giving them softballs to rule unanimously against the underlying ideological position they would normally uphold.
I dont understand. BSPs produce a lot more intersections.
A few years back, I switched entirely to cast iron pans and never looked back. The only disadvantage I've found to them is that they're heavy. In every other respect, I find them much better than other sorts of pans.

> You'll find a lot of nonsense about cast iron.

Isn't that the truth! The best advice I got from an old hand at the care and feeding of cast iron was very simple:

1) Use it. The more you use it, the better it gets.

2) Don't be afraid of hurting it. Don't be afraid to experiment with various cleaning methods and see what works for you. The worst you can do is mess up the seasoning, and that's easy to fix so the stakes are low.
I'm unsure how a photo of a loin chop suggests it was bought at the nearest grocery store. It didn't have a package with a grocery store name.

It says it came from a commercial meat processing facility, and I don't see any reason to doubt it. These facilities pre-butcher and package the meat, and are then sent out to grocery stores or wherever. I assume they got it straight from the source to avoid any potential confounding effects of a grocery store keeping the meat out of refrigeration, or mislabeling the dates, or whatever.
> basically nothing has happened

Maybe they proudly stated knowing the risks, and while unfortunate, risks became reality. And then everything is fine.

Considering the constitution doesn’t explicitly talk about workers unions at all other than the generic freedom of association(1), whatever, there’s plenty of room for interpretation.

exactly. this is my go to question with any AI claims now :)
One law that passed after the 1994 earthquake in LA was that not only did new construction and remodels have to have all the latest earthquake safety features, but any house sold did too. You couldn't sell a house without doing the earthquake retrofit.

They should pass a similar law with some environmental requirements. The same ones that they are requiring on new construction and retrofits should also be required on sale. That would at least help.
This is exactly it. There is no incentive to prioritise security. It is not visible to customers, except in terms of compliance, most likely a check-list approach.

I think it needs a massive cultural shift, but from customers. If customers were willing to evaluate security (consumers cannot, but enterprise can) properly, demand binding assurances, and make buying choices accordingly industry would respond.

Of course MS is too strongly entrenched in the desktop market for this to be completely effective.

In other words, when faced with an existential threat...

Microsoft of course, as a multi-trillion-dollar company has no such threat and there's no reasonable excuse for this.

> Presumably ARM never owned Nuvia's IP: why would they have negotiated that, given they already had license control?

That seems to me to be the key point in contention, or at least whether or not ARM owns the right to prevent Nuvia from selling IP that Nuvia created. As Qualcomm's lawyers put it

> 25. Second, ARM was claiming a right to control the transfer of NUVIA technology when NUVIA’s ALA provided no such rights to ARM.

and as ARM's lawyers put it

> 25. Arm denies the allegations in paragraph 25.

Note if you deny in part you say which part you are denying and which part you are admitting, thus here they are denying the statement entirely, and thus claiming they had the rights to control the transfer of NUVIA technology (which is also the broader theme of the filing).

Without being able to actually see the contractual terms I don't see how the public could conclude which side is right in this dispute, but basically everything seems to center on this. Either ARM's license grants them control over technology Nuvia created, even if all the confidential information that technology was based off of is no longer confidential, and/or the party you are trying to transfer it to has licenses to all the technology it was based off of (and ARM probably wins), or it doesn't (and Qualcomm probably wins).

If I was thinking about doing business with arm I'd want to be very sure that whatever agreements I signed where of the second form, or I was getting a huge company-altering discount in exchange for them being of the first form.
> The hardware manufacturer needs to ensure that software doesn't break the device.

Preventing software from breaking a device is a solved problem. All you need is a CPU that supports memory protection, and an appropriately designed OS.

If you want to only run software that's been OK'ed by a third party, that's certainly a choice you can make for yourself or your organization.

I don't like that this choice is imposed on almost-all cellphone users by monopoly.
It's an extra issue. Not every workplace asks for faking enthusiasm.
I'm not sure if this would line up with the Dunbar number or something similar, but it sure seems reasonable that societies and centralized power should never grow beyond the scale where people stop caring.

If the public is expected to keep government and corporstions in check but the public doesn't care, it can only end poorly.
At least where I am 10 mins in a car can be up to 1.7 hours in a bus. And the same back.

>What is different in our industry that companies (and managers) get away with such malice?

Lack of professional licensure that binds you to state regulation with jail time as one of the stated punishments besides financial liability.

Heh, the government could start effecting change by mandating licensure and sign-offs by licensed individuals when contracting for software products sold to the government.

If you mean to encrypt your internal IDs when sending to clients and decrypt when receiving, it'd work. I've never seen it done this way, maybe because with standard 2048-bit RSA you get a 2048-bit output at least, which would bloat up the API responses.

I run a CRM platform for many years. And while this is true, that if you want to go after a subsection of SalesForce type customers, you do need a programming layer. However, that is only a specific section of the market. There are vast amount of users out there that do not need that and will never will. They need a CRM. Not a Platform-that-is-also-a-CRM.

We offer 100% API access, and customisation from the data layer to the UI (very very flexible), but I'd be reluctant to invest time in adding an actual programming layer like APEX on top of it. I don't think I'd want to even go to that level of "enterprise" customers and everything else that comes with it.

Edit: just because I've seen people plug their products here as well, I'll add mine: https://cogmento.com

I find this article extremely ironic and one-dimensional because LA is currently having a record setting year for cold.

As someone convinced by the science of climate change, I’m now increasingly skeptical of how the media portrays its nuance and uncerainty, particularly at the localized and regional level.

It would not surprise me at this point to find out in years’ time that a place like LA cools dramatically because of second and third order effects on precipitation that were not accurately accounted for while the planet overall still warms.

And I think that’s what makes the kind of prescriptivism of this article a bit nauseating.

I’m down to prevent the poor and elderly from dying of heatstroke but I question the rhetoric of this article in the way it is argued.
Not enough, they need to plant a lot more to cool the city and deal with the larger rain fall.
Currently no, but the XServe was a product for a decade. And they have built an internal ML cloud, presumably with rack mountable hardware. The bigger issue for apple IMO is they ditched the server features of their OS and they're not going to sell a hypothetical M4ultra Xserve with linux.
Related to the GPs point, do you know of any company that publicly admits that they chose profit above all else?
Investors are very happy with profit over security choices. Moreover, decisions to maximize profitability thinking only in short term is also not bad for them if they perceive that can sell their shares before the consequences. A company that do not place profit above other things is not a good company to invest money and see it grow. A company will invest in security only as long as it increases profitability. Doing otherwise is not maximizing profits and lose investors. If you are a "security company", surely this means that you need the security to sell the product and get profitability. Other companies will have other tradeoffs to choose how much they invest in security to maximize profitability.

> the company has literally no way to tell if someone is actually useful

You say this like it's easy, but it's actually very hard for most white-collar jobs.

Is that guy who's closing lots of tickets just picking the easy ones - or fobbing off customers with unhelpful responses?

Is that guy who took two weeks to make a two-line change incredibly unproductive? Or did they explore hundreds of avenues to finally stamp out a bug that had stumped dozens of other engineers for months?

Is that guy who's overseeing an external project and hasn't raised any issues a veteran with the foresight and initiative to solve problems early, and the expertise not to need hand-holding? Or are they simply not looking for issues?

Is that guy reviewing grant proposals taking the time to carefully read through every last one and fully comprehend all the technical details? Or are they skimming a few then funding the famous researchers at the well known universities, same as last year?

For a great many jobs, the main form of monitoring is how productive the worker's line manager feels they are. An extremely flawed measure.

Because as far as I can tell, there was no "vulnerability" here, it's just how the product works. Stealing an OAuth key is just as bad. Stealing a domain's krbtgt key is just as bad.

Businesses want that when they login to a computer, they are SSO'ed in to all their apps. That's how ADFS works, you authenticate to it using kerberos and it issues you a SAML token. Here they stole apparently the key used to sign the SAML token so they could generate their own.

Unless there was some vulnerability that exposed the key publically, I fail to see how in this particular incident its Microsoft's fault.

For a related but flipped perspective: imagine you were describing modern society and the ubiquity of texting. The speed and non-verbal aspects of it, coupled with some people's ability to multi-task texting in the middle of other conversation would be hard to describe to an audience in the 1950s or 1960s, but if you were going to describe it a lot of scifi descriptions of telepathy come close. Maybe we already invented "telepathy" in the future we are living in, it's just so ubiquitous and "dull" and "everyday" we underestimate how fantastic and weird it is from past perspectives?
