Non-murder criminal offenses typically have very short statutes of limitations.

A lot of this could also be solved by encouraging the federal government to enforce federal privacy law as written more aggressively. A good incentive would be to amend the privacy statutes to permit the FTC to keep the funds extracted from settlements and penalties in-house. This would allow them to increase staffing and create a positive feedback loop to deter wrongdoing. This would have a negative effect on incumbent companies and practices, but it would not take long for the message to get across and for practices to change accordingly.

Congress tends to prefer keeping agencies on its own budgetary string which paradoxically limits what the agencies are capable of doing. The laws that we think protect us do not protect us because many of them are within the exclusive jurisdiction of a federal agency with very limited powers and funds. In the US the leadership likes to create the illusion that it has made "Bad Problem" illegal by writing it into the law, but it does not like creating the conditions in which "Bad Problem" could be solved, whether it's because the tradeoffs involved are tough to contemplate or because keeping "Bad Problem" around as a visible enemy is clever politics.

I never got the impression that the market ever cares about data breaches. It seems most companies are rarely held financially responsible for data breaches anyway.

I would bet any effects you’re seeing in stocks is unrelated to this news.

Ask HN: How to grow a concert visuals business?
I'm tired of working full-time at companies that waste my talent and energy. I want to work for myself.

As a side hustle for the last few years, I've been designing custom concert visuals and releasing them on a monthly schedule. I've released 48 VJ packs so far and created a following within the niche community of VJs. These VJ performers then remix my visuals into their live performances at concerts. My setup is unique in that you can download every VJ pack by becoming a member on Patreon.

I want to take it to the next level and make it into a full-time business but I'm struggling to figure out next steps. It would be helpful to get an outsider's perspective since there are so few people doing this line of work and I feel a bit lost.

As far as I can see, there are two routes to go down:

1) Create custom visuals for touring musicians. Should I find a rep or agency to represent me for landing big projects? Should I start reaching out directly to the business managers of musicians? Should I start a company with a partner?

2) Continue making VJ packs for thousands of VJs internationally. Should I move to an annual membership fee instead of a monthly membership fee on Patreon? Should I move to an online shop format instead of a Patreon membership?

Biz folk, what am I missing? What am I not considering? Thanks!

I can see your analysis being used by participants cited as paper co-authors...

"...my name's on the paper, but I mostly just cheered from the sidelines. I didn't dive into the data or run any analyses. Honestly, most co-authors don't. We just add names to look impressive. If the paper's not great, it's because real work is hard, and I was more of a supportive figure rather than an actual contributor..." :-)

I don't have a problem with profit motive at all, but I think it's completely valid to point out situations where it's taken to an extreme that destroys the brand or puts it in a vulnerable position, which is arguably being done to Starbucks in my opinion.
I don't think the criticism is outdated, in spite of what you mention. Indeed, in the last few decades, releasing the code has gone from uncommon to standard practice. But in my view, both you and the post author are greatly overstating the importance of releasing the code. Sure, releasing it is clearly better than not releasing it, it's a step forward. But it makes very little difference to peer review, if at all, since peer reviewers hardly ever actually open the code. You already are lucky if you can find reviewers that read the whole paper rather than skimming through the dense central sections - good luck finding reviewers that will actually check the code, considering that it takes much more time and effort than reading a paper. When I'm myself a reviewer, I also penalize papers with no code - but papers with code might as well link the Minesweeper source and most of the time I wouldn't notice, because I don't have time to check - and I devote more time per review than most people I know.

Regarding your second paragraph, that is what peer review actually is in the present time, but the point is that it's supposed to be much more than that. And the problem is not only outright fraud that might have severe consequences, the post itself mentions "soft fraud" that will hardly ever have any consequence (who is going to notice that someone made several experiments and only published the one favoring their conclusion?). And there are also problems not related to fraud - for example, peer review is supposed to be not only about correctness but choosing the best work for top-tier venues, good but not that impactful work for second tier, etc. Shallow peer review often means that work that is not fraudulent, but not stellar is accepted in better venues due to famous authors/institutions or just authors that are especially skilled in "pitching" their work, and vice versa.

This is a political problem. Until we pass laws that companies can be find liable for significant damages in the event of data breaches, we will see little progress on data security. This is an area where Congress needs to act. Current law does not adequately protect the public due to the difficulties in establishing standing, tying specific breaches to specific personal damages, other reasons.

Such a law would seriously impact current practices of the majority of IT firms, including small app developers, which is why we see little push from silicon valley for such changes.
I am responding to this part of the parent comment:

> I don't do a ton with Docker outside dev tooling, but I have never understood why private container registries even exist?

You know the options and have made a conscious choice:

> Yes I can host my packages and write tooling around it to make it easy. But JFrog already has all the tooling around it, and it integrates with current tooling. Why would I write the whole thing again?

So presumably you are not the kind of people I was talking about.

EDIT: I'm also assuming by the rent seeking part that the parent is referring to paid hosted services like ECR etc.
There’s a disconnect here. You are 100% technically correct. Your product’s messaging is confusing. Saying “24/7 compute” makes some people think no cold starts. Enough people in fact that you have to keep correcting them.

The Reserve stores are absolutely fantastic (and twice the price.) The Seattle location was the first one I had ever been to.

I suspect that I have ADHD and I get distracted really easily on the web. It can be pretty frustrating when I'm trying to get something done, like submitting an application form, and I end up elsewhere. Ads compete for your attention and distract you. Well targeted ads compete for your attention most effectively. So to me, targeted ads are even worse than irrelevant ads. Well targeted ads also require the ad agencies to surveil me...
I've also tried out a few solutions for this problem, but I inevitably went back to use slack or signal. The reason is that these messenger apps are just always open and it's far easier to paste stuff into it than opening an app dedicated to this purpose.

Find and connect with people at Co-Working Spaces
Hi all,

My name is Peter, and I am reaching out because I'm passionate about the tech scene in cities, especially among people in their late teens to late 30s, who love to move around and travel.

I'm working on an app concept that lets you find cool co-working spaces in the city and connect with other people who use them. Think of it as a way to discover inspiring work environments and meet interesting folks to chat with, collaborate with, or just bounce ideas off of IN-PERSON.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this web app.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

>> AT&T said it learned of the data breach on April 19, and that it was unrelated to its earlier security incident in March.

Why was this not disclosed on AT&T’s earnings call on April 24? At least someone will get compensated for the breach, although it’ll be the lawyers for the class action lawsuit that’s about to hit instead of the customers that got their information stolen.
You frame this as a contradiction but a moment of reflection reveals that it's not.

If the US continues to aid Ukraine, then it's likely that Ukraine will be able to beat Russia eventually, due to the West's superior military equipment and tactics.

If the US stops aiding Ukraine, it will be much more difficult for Ukraine to beat Russia. If Russia achieves its goals and gains control of Ukraine, then yes, other NATO countries will be in danger.

Some of the "russia is loosing hard" news is propaganda of course, to raise the morale of people fighting for their homeland. I find it hard to get too mad about that.

Per the above in 2019 they had been developing RDE technology for 5 years.

Now developing the tech is different then building a prototype but it's good to take these timetable numbers with a large dose of salt.

It is interesting to see RDE's getting alot of headlines recently. Really cool tech that works off of a principle known for a long time but only just recently hitting an inflection point in terms of development.

Or maybe it's time to turn software engineering into an actual engineering profession. If the people responsible for designing and maintaining the AT&T system were "real" engineers, they could be sued for malpractice or even lose their license to practice.
They are very much related to the news, that's precisely why I linked to the stock charts: AT&T was flat overnight but opened (9am ET) with a -2.6% spike down, but has been recovering since. Their press release appears to have been Friday 7am ET shortly before market open [https://about.att.com/story/2024/addressing-illegal-download...].

> weight savings
> engines

At this point the 737 Max 8 and A320 both are sitting around an 18:1 L/D. You can't really go a whole lot higher than that without affecting controllability. Things like winglets give you incremental improvements on the order of single digit percentages.

But weight savings... that's huge. For every pound you shave off, all other things equal, means the engine needs to make less thrust and the aircraft itself needs to carry less fuel.
Good info! I use an HPC with SLURM. 40k GPUs shared by hundreds of users. It works well enough. I don’t know how the market for cloud-based clusters works. Why didn’t OP use AWS or Google for on-demand training? Is it just down to cost?

Now, this is very much against the spec [0]. At first glance, the doubled functionality of encoding parameters is irritating, there are query parameters already, so ?page=70 would seem more consistent. But then, this has been worked on for a long and it makes sense to add a whole set of functions for certain mime-types.

I agree.

This is precisely why breaches keep happening and will keep happening. It cost money to implement security. There's no cost benefit to spending that time and money since there are no consequences.

Businesses do not spend money unless it will make them money or save them money.

There needs to be a hefty federal fine on a per-affected-user basis for data breaches. Also a federal fine for each day a breach is unreported.

That money should go into a pool which can be accessed by people who have their identity stolen.
I never understood the american secrecy about SSN... it should be a "username" not a "password"...

In my country you can calculate our own national id (mix of date of birth, autoincreasing number by each birth that day + 1 checksum number), and if you do/have any kind of personal business, your personal tax number has to be written everywhere, on every receipt you hand out or anything you buy as a business.

Somehow knowing that first boy born today will have an ID number of 120702450001X (too lazy to calculate the checksum, but the algorithm is public), doesn't help anyone with anyting bad.

Show HN: MyADMonitor, open-source tool to track live Active Directory changes
myADMonitor is an open-source tool I created to provide real-time visibility into Active Directory changes. It's particularly useful when executing bulk updates or running operations where you need to analyze AD modifications as they occur.

Key features:

Real-time tracking of Active Directory changes
Portable tool for easy deployment
.NET backend using ASP.NET Core 8.0 Web API. Runs on localhost or mounted on a particular IP.
React 18 frontend capable of handling thousands of DOM updates
Designed for personal use but scalable for larger environments
Changes are served via web API so they can be consumed from other sources, such as Excel, Power BI, Powershell, etc...
Custom settings such as custom LDAP query to define the scope, real-time filtering, custom port, custom Domain Controller to connect, etc...

I built this to solve the problem of lacking visibility during AD operations. I use it when executing complex scripts, bulk changing AD, troubleshooting replication or Azure AD sync, etc...

It is not intended, yet, to be running as a service, but it is something I am considering.

If you use or test it, please give me your feedback so I can fix any bug or add new features.

You mean "deliberately ignored" and not just "underappreciated". Unfortunately it's a politicised topic, and thus considering any alternative becomes a taboo.
My SIN number has been leaked no less than 4 times tied to basically every standard identifying question about me now, if that helps ease your worry.

I guess the new methodology is that a company cannot be sued if they just all leak data, that way nobody knows which one is responsible for your identity theft.
Anyway, what you really don't understand is how much the context changed.

Nowadays "leaving it to the kids" means grandparents living something to their grandkids.

In the past it meant a 30 year old man leaving something behind for their 12 years old children.

Some of the infrastructures we are leaving behind was already in place when my mother was being born (in the late 1940s). It is still functioning. I wouldn't call it poor built, it is probably poorly maintained, but it's understandable when the only people willing to maintain it are old folks or immigrants with no other option and the knowledge about the inner workings are lost or degraded.

But my generation and the generation before me are leaving to our descendants the f*ing internet which is an unprecedented marvel if you ask me, comparable to the agricultural revolution, the steam engine, the printing press and the electricity.

There's also a simple algorithm to compute K(s) for any particular s (and thus for any finite set of such inputs). Enumerate every possible Turing machine by increasing length until one that outputs s is found. Since you've tried all shorter machines, and they didn't output s, you've found the shortest machine that outputs s and thus its length is K(s). Other machines of the same or greater length may exist which output s, but since K(s) is just about the minimal length this doesn't change anything.

For all strings with length <n, you just repeat the brute-force for every one of the 2^n strings. It's a finite process!
and how do you manage them? you use the same tooling that exists for all public images by running a container registry.
