> from a legal perspective, Brewster should be removed and they need to find competent people to put on the board

I don't like that the IA risked the actual internet archive with this or that they chose to engage in DRM at all but let's be reall: "competent people" would have sold the IA to the advertisement moloch or another horror of modern civilization long ago. The IA does need a leader that puts principles above financial security.

> it really deserves to be treated like a business

That would be the absolute worst thing that could happen to the IA.

> And it's time for Brewster to move on. In any other non-profit he'd be gone by now.

Consider doing something worthwile of your own instead of trying those who have but aren't perfect enough in your opinion.
If we tried? Probably. Nobody will let you seriously try, on Earth at least.
Then you confused backups for replication and don't understand how business continuity planning / disaster recovery work.
Personally I chase being in a bored state.

Adult life with all the duties is exhausting and drains mental/physical energy every day, to the point that nothing _meaningful_ can be achieved really. No, usually work is pointless exchange of time/energy vs money in order to live comfortably, sometimes sugarcoated in a higher "mission/vision".

Being in a stressed state also favors a mindset of "getting it done" with the actual goal of getting rid of the task at hand, aka "productivity", and some people think that a series of these completitions are a trajectory towards something rewarding - for me it isn't.

But when there are these moments where duties (work, kids, household, ...) are actually done, when there is no desire to play/watch the latest thing right now, this is when the good kind of boredom kicks in for me:

aimless reflection. mentally consolidating myself into the world, where am I, where things are going to, where I want to be next, how to probably get there. Going through it feels very relaxing, and activates some very existential kind of creativity (not the "solve the problem smarter thing), and fuels my energy a lot more than anything else in life. Being in this bored state is a precursor of feeling control over life again, and adjusting the inner compass to get updated directions to follow.

... but this doesn't happen when being busy/distracted, a state that drains my energy, and even accumulates dread every single day until the stressors are gone again and I feel "bored".

Five years seems a pretty harsh sentence for publishing leaked information about governments behaving badly - isnt that what good journalists are supposed to do ?

I think the person you're replying to is referring to the accusations against WikiLeaks of just dumping raw documents without at least removing information that could lead to identifying (and thus endangering) people who e.g. assisted the US in Afghanistan or who provided documents to WL in the first place.

Yes, there was a point in getting the information out as fast as possible, but I think it's fair to blame Assange for not putting in the redaction work.
I'd say a fairly large percentage would be disappointed that we let a citizen get treated like that and we did nothing as a country to assist, independent of anything else. Maybe I am out of touch though.
That’s a fair reaction to seeing how the sausages are made. I wonder what will happen to the human condition when the great questions are finally answered. How did we get here, how did the universe come to be, are there aliens ?
Ciao! This is all gold thank for sharing! I agree that consistency is the key. But it is the key in many fields this is why well-designed abstractions or continuous integration exists. To enforce consistency.

Error handling as well can be very helpful to communicate what your system is doing, but errors are not the only state you want to look for.

In theory, but it is something that I didn't see used too much a logging library can be wrapped into an abstraction where useful to enforce consistency. For example if wrap your library in something that conventionally sounds like "ThisLoggerIsCriticalDontMoveItAsYouWillDoWithOtherLogs(logger)" you are communicating something more about how that.
He has served more time in prison than he would if he had gone to Sweden and been convicted of outright rape.

The sentencing guideline for rape in Sweden is 3-6 years in prison, or at most 4 years (I can't find a minimum) for "negligent rape", and even if convicted for everything he was alleged to have done, Swedish practice in rape cases would mean there's no chance he'd have gotten anywhere close to maximum sentences, and might well have had part of the sentence suspended. In practice, it'd have been surprising if he got more than a year of actual prison.

So without going into whether or not that case was legitimate, or whether or not the handling of it was legitimate, he's suffered more, in far worse conditions, than a Swedish court would have imposed.
DR/BCP is harder now than it was with cloud storage and SaaS making it more difficult, but not impossible.

Every business-critical system and service, including every user account used, first needs to be inventoried and then inventoried on an ongoing basis.

With that, data can be roughly sized and classified with a business impact analysis - "How much money do we lose if X?".

From that, backup jobs/agents, retention schedules, and other forms of mitigation investments can be made.

PS: It's heartening to see CommVault is still in business.

EDIT: I once bought a FireKing smaller 3-hour data safe and implemented a barcoded LTO GFS policy using Iron Mountain as the offsite vaulting vendor. Sadly, FK no longer make safes for tape media anymore. It looks like IBM/HPE/Quantum LTO-9 tapes and drives are about the only games in town, and around $80 for 18 TB making them half the gross cost of circular spinning rust. Amazon's Glacier uses low-speed circular spinning rust like Facebook does for colder storage.
It depends... I don't particularly enjoy Monty Python... But 40 year old stuff is still seemingly great in places. Like Yes Minister and Blackadder... I do not think those will be too dated in 10 years still, unless something very drastically changes... Maybe some are just bit more timeless...
> Evidently, they didn't think they had enough evidence to bring it to trial.

I believe he basically hid in the Ecuadorian embassy until the statute of limitations ran out.
I'm struggling to figure out how wikileaks works as a russian intelligence asset in a way that somehow doesn't apply more aptly and openly to western media as a whole. Hell our entire elections are built around directly and indirectly paying media to run content ("ads").

There is no genuine concern here over some deep vulnerability our society has to russians or anyone because of wikileaks. Assange (nor snowden) caused any material harm remotely proportional to the blowback they've received since. This is about punishment for circumventing state-level controls and embarrassing the state. To think that Trump would somehow be more lenient on either is unthinkable—he's part of the same class of people that Clinton is that is most sensitive to the health of systems Assange threatens.

Oh, sweet summer child. In such political cases there is almost zero "separation of powers". Much higher powers than the judge and the prosecutor are involved directly.

> Most contemporary journalism is just not worth archiving.

I don't agree. There are many interesting tidbits which go unnoticed as bog-standard / disposable news until the dots connect in the future, and one wants to construct the history backwards from that tipping point.

When these "contemporary articles" go missing, many important details of the history is lost.

> No one ever anywhere (except for numerous strawmen) has claimed 100% coverage "will eliminate all bugs and produce the perfect software."

So don't we need some articles to defend against the existing articles by these strawmen?
App IDs don't really work for this purpose if Apple aren't in control of generating them, nothing is stopping a malware vendor from literally never reusing app IDs. Notarization is a reasonable implementation, and it can even require some form of developer identification, it just can't be very deep identification, an e-mail address is enough (along with IP and other metadata gathered during the process). That way they can disable all apps signed by one developer, and can more quickly react to malicious actors, without it becoming a problem for normal users.

>Julian Assange was in prison for skipping bail, which he did to avoid legitimate rape charges.

If "legitimate" means fradulent charges drummed up for political reasons, from testimonies later withdrawn, then yes.
*facepalm*

And that would presumably be evidence of however many doofuses trying to upload their entire music library to YouTube privately.

It both doesn't make sense - you're making a private collection - and also does; YouTube have a for-profit music streaming service.

I guess we're now entering an era where we don't just have to worry about *just* paperclip maximization, but also the dimension of "how many paperclips the humans are leaving in the training data when they walk away from the LLM" :/ - in this case, if you upload 1000 songs into a private playlist then fine, maybe penalize that. But for a single video? That's messed up.
> but the UK wouldnt

The UK routinely extradites people to the US (and facilitated extraordinary renditions from UK soil). The claim he could not leave the UK for fear of being extradited to the US was always a nonsensical lie.
Hey now, I'm 42 and like some LitRPG / progression fantasy (only read Dungeon Crawler Carl, Mother of Learning and Cradle, though).
You can tell the difference between rotating and not, because a rotating reference frame is not inertial. In fact, the geocentrists knew this, because one of the longest-standing objections to the idea that the earth rotated was that you would expect a falling object to be displaced from the apparent vertical due to the rotation, these experiments were done, and the displacement was not observed (it turns out, because the effect was so small, but no-one would have the mathematical tools to work this out until Newton).
Helping keep customers safe with leaked password notification
I wonder if the author has read Hans Christian Andersen. I still remember reading The Girl Who Trod on a Loaf as a kid. A story about a girl who used a loaf of bread as a stepping stone to go over a pool of mud. And then sank into an evil underworld where she was tortured by scary creatures, starved, and paralysed for many dozens of years (enough for everyone she knew to die), while a few visions of people on surface recollecting her sins. She never returned back to earth.

The positive powers have won because I think the prideful girl regretted her action in the end, but even as a kid this struck me as extremely over the top punishment.

Yeah, I see a lot of celebration here, but I don't see what part of this worked out well for anyone. Assange spent over a decade either running from the law or in prison. None of the charges against him are ever going to be heard either way, and the original issues he raised have largely been ignored. And over the period he and his fellow travelers have done a great job trashing their own cause by lining up beside genocidal dictators.
I speed on the freeway too, I just don't believe it's "safer". The margin between the traffic speed and the speed limit is just not generally large enough to be a hazard, and driving at a higher speed is just more risky and potentially lethal in every way.
To be fair this is about Kramnik who is completely unhinged and paranoid. No one in the chess community treats him seriously any more. He's a meme now.
I chose divide-by-zero because it is super easy for everybody to understand.

But that is not important. In a real application it might be a unicode error, a date error, a wrong-format error or something else.
Storage is also massively cheaper than in the past. It's worth archiving everything that was published on the Internet because you never know what it might reveal in a future context.

Maybe the comment thread on a trivial clickbait article contains a post by a future dictator, and it will be a crucial piece of her biography fifty years from now.
> It would be like if Mozilla decided to stop taking any google funding overnight because they felt like their values didn't fit with Google's.

That would be the best thing that could happen to Mozilla becose then the vultures would move on and the project could get back to its mission without the MAJOR conflict of interest fucking up their incentives.

> But then you also guaranteed that Firefox won't be able to exist for more than a few weeks.

Firefox doesn't need Mozilla to continue existing. But even if it died that would at least make space for an alternative that isn't just controlled opposition doing the bare minimum to protect Google from antitrust lawsuits while continuuously disrespecting user choices and preferences.

Can you show the court, on the dolly, where dspillett said it was absolutely bad?

IIRC the closest I came to that was suggesting it had a reputation for doing some bad things.

Saying something can improve is not the same as saying it is absolutely bad in all imaginable ways, unless you live in a fantasy world where there is no “meh” only perfection and anti-perfection.

Both the Mueller report[1] and the Senate report[2]. There is apparently some question whether Wikileaks even got the RNC data and didn't release it or just didn't bother asking for it in the first place[3].

I had the impression that core functionality should always be internal, and an extetnal SaaS service for the irritating, non core but necessary stuff.
So how do you decide what should be the baseline on a brand new project? 70%? 80% 90% ? :-)
Yep.

I assume everyone already knows that, but shellcheck is great help if you need to go all the way down to POSIX since it will detect /bin/sh shebang and warn about any non-compatible bash-ism.
Rust's stdlib is (at least notionally) forever. Things in the standard library (including core and alloc) get deprecated but must be maintained forever, which means that "at this point" isn't enough.

In 2003 those programs would have used XML, in 1993 probably .INI files. Are you sure that despite all its shortcomings JSON is the end of history? I don't believe you.

If you want "at this point" you can, as software does today, just use a crate. Unlike the stdlib, if next week Fonzie files are huge and by 2026 "nobody" is using JSON because Fonzie is cool, the JSON config crate merely becomes less popular.
Boredom signals we've lost our curiosity - we're either too serious or stuck exploiting the familiar. Cultivating "engaged curiosity" is the key. It's a self-reinforcing cycle: the more we explore and play with open attention, the more meaning we create.

This curiosity flywheel builds momentum through our actions. Nobody else can spark it for us; we must actively nurture it. The trick is keeping our attention open to catch novel sparks from the world, rather than retreating to the safe and known.

At least on macOS, Apple strongly discourages depending on the builtin scripting languages, and AFAIK python is no longer preinstalled (instead installing Xcode for the first time will slip a python3.9.x and pip3 into your /usr/bin).

Of course you can depend on zsh/bash, but then the Apple UNIX tools are BSD flavoured, not GNU flavoured like on Linux, so Linux shell scripts will also quite often not work out of the box on macOS.

Yes. He's dragged his feet on the Gaza war and on this for as long as he possibly could, but has increasingly faced outrage in more left-leaning areas and areas with more Muslim voters and all his policy stances appear to be calculated on the basis of what will win more votes/lose fewer votes rather than any kind of backbone. Nothing happens until he has more to lose by doing nothing.
Your point would have been more persuasive if you'd eased off on the caps lock.
That's basically nationalization, and in many countries people are extremely allergic to a government that likes to just take things.

You need a bulletproof judiciary, that can rule fairly on which companies are taken over and which aren't, and all sorts of checks and balances to ensure that the government can't just abuse this ability to nationalize all the things.

Even though I proposed the idea of putting companies in jail, I was doing it tongue in cheek.

Ultimately fines are probably the only way to go. But the fines must be big enough in order to ensure it's an effective deterrent. It must hurt the company enough that it cannot just be considered the cost of doing business.

If a company is fined enough that it must actually close down/declare bankruptcy, then that's probably the few eggs you need to break in order to make the omelette I guess. A bunch of presumably innocent employees might be hurt by this decision, but overall it's for the greater good.
Institutionalizing people with severe drug abuse and mental health issues would be a major improvement. Unfortunately it isn't politically feasible.
