I have a few examples I remembered where there was both short term impact on the stock directly after the publication of a breach and the stock remaied at a lower point across an extended period of time. I have to admit though that it is nearly impossible to attribute how much of this drop in value and the stock staying at that lower level can be directly attributed to the breach compared to other reasons, such as general performance, etc. However, on the other hand, this also does not reflect the likely high spending a company tends to do in the aftermath of such a breach on better security, PR, settling lawsuits, etc. which most certainly exceed 75k, a rounding error for business of any significant size.

Anyways, here a two examples of the top of my head:

Of course, the big one, Equifax, which had a significant drop in the week after the announcement. It took roughly two-years for the stock to trade at pre-breach levels [0], likely in part due to their less than stellar handling of the aftermath, though I'd still consider that directly linked to the breach.

More to the point, there was Yahoo, which I wanted to mention because its impact was more clearly measurable. What was weird about that one is that their case centered around a belated (by two years) announcement of a breach they faced between 2013 and 2014. That did impact their stock, but more importantly, it's the reason for a 350 million USD reduction in the acquisition price Verizon had to pay for Yahoo. Verizon agreed to cover half the cost of non-SEC government investigations and third-party lawsuits (which I feel also would fall under hitting their "bottom line"), while Yahoo covered the other half and any liability from shareholder lawsuits or SEC investigations. That 350 million USD plus fines to me is the clearest number one can put on a breach and I feel it shows that, whatever one thinks is fair compensation for reporting 0-days, 75k is far removed from that.

So yeah, there have been cases where a security exploit seriously impacted the finances of a publicly traded company and keep in mind, I only stuck with actual reductions in their stock value/acquisition price.

I submitted a data information request and they sent me all what they sent Evolve. It includes both my company address, mobile number, email address and a copy of the ID document.

I have no clue why the submitted mobile number and email address as part of KYC.
To be fair to the comparison and Houston, the vast majority of Houston didn't exist in the 1940s either.
That is nuts!

The weirdest thing we have here (unrelated to roundabouts) is the hook turn which cars must obey at many intersections in the city:

There was no benefit to anyone, I chose to be homeless and to spend time sharing their stories. I had no capacity to help them outside of small ways, food, shelter, voice.
> But there's a particular glut of bone-headed people who power right into the roundabout without anything resembling yielding

Near my house are roundabouts that I have to drive in all the time. My number of near-collisions from people barreling through is ridiculous. Now if I'm in the roundabout I lay on my horn if I see cars approaching because they just don't pay attention.

It's sad they're so dangerous because of oblivious idiots. Those intersections are so much more efficient as roundabouts than if they were traditional four way stops.
The solution to last-mile problems is fewer miles. Fact is metro Houston takes up 15x more land than is really called for. A factor of 15 makes a significant difference in the cost of wires, pipes, and roads.
The regular Joe doesn't really care to be honest.

I have talked about it around me a bit and most people who do not work in tech or who don't have a certain interest in online privacy or privacy in general don't know about it.

Of course when you ask the citizens of the EU if they are cool about being monitored at all times by the EU LEOs then they don't want it but the commission wants it bad. All this is due from the heavy lobbying that has been happening in Brussels.

The worst part is that this is happening while the EU is saying that it wants data sovereignty, and wants to become less dependent on the software coming from the US, but it's ready to get in bed with a US company in order to deploy this mass surveillance system who supposedly is very good at finding CP.

Nevermind the fact that it means that every bit of online communication will be analyzed and dissected by a corporation that is out of reach of the EU.

But the commission is not stupid, they carved themselves a nice little clause so that they can be exempted from such mass surveillance. I guess they understand that having all telecommunications monitored by a for profit company that is not from the EU could lead to some embarrassing data leaks, just like we saw with AT&T but they don;t care if it's our data that leaks as long as it's not theirs.

That is why to me GDPR is just a facade. You can't seriously say that you are pro privacy and pro democracy if you keep trying to recreate the Stasi on a larger scale.
Donations and paying for things doesn't change this. Often, providers can just double-dip, and sell the service or product, and then have channels for advertising as well.

But I do agree that it's a string of bad news for Firefox users over the years.
To approach the present moment with mindfulness generally does not allow greater insight into the distant past than archaeology and anthropology.

Edit: I misinterpreted your comment. Yes, I agree that it is possible/likely that much of theology is built on top of select few people's transcendant experiences.
How could I forget that one. Solarwinds is an even better example than the ones I remembered (Equifax and Yahoo).
enshitification is just a convenient name for a thing that's happened to every company that goes public/gets acquired by PE since the markets cared about "growth, growth, and growth," which started in the 1960s.
Carmel, Indiana has over 150 roundabouts and they are building more. I believe we have less than 5 traffic light intersections now but I'm not 100% sure.

The movement around Carmel is remarkable compared to driving next cities (Indy, Fishers, etc). Fishers and Westfield are building more roundabouts as well.

As for one person who commented about high traffic locations - Carmel would make an overpass for those intersections though they are not many.
It was simple enough that back in 2002, I could implement a whole client+server LDAP protocol framework from scratch in ~11k lines of Python. That's not horrible.

ASN.1 gets a lot of (imho deserved) crap but it's roughly just a bunch of nested TLV (type, length, value) messages, just smeared with a bunch of legacy and a weird definition language. It's not all that different from e.g. Protocol Buffers. Outside of figuring out what context you're in and thus what message type an integer refers to, there's not much that would be "a hard problem" about it.
Critical thinking and discernment in evaluating information are inportant
Another members only article on Medium sigh. What a shame, this seems to be interesting...
I honestly don’t get chat for communities (and I spent a lot of time in IRC). Without starch and structure, knowledge is constantly being lost and there is no way for newcomers to quickly get up to speed if they happen to be a timezone or two away from the “core” community. Forums and Discourse are so much better that I have to ask why it isn’t obvious.
It's worse: Pr[correct output | hard input] = 0, even though they estimate that Pr[correct output | random input] ~ 1. This means that you can't, for example, amplify your success probability by repeating the algorithm a bunch of times and taking the majority vote.
> Protection from untrusted input is something that has to be considered in any language

Sure, but some languages make it easier than others. And that was just one example, another example could be having a branch where the input to your function depends on some condition. You could have one of the two branches passing the wrong types, but you will only notice when that branch gets executed.
The interstate highway system is arguably a massively wasteful boondoggle - it subsidises trucks at the cost of the far more efficient and less-polluting rail.

They intend to replace the last 14 of 15 traffic signals remaining with roundabouts, leaving the last one (located at Main and Range Line) for historical purposes, as it was the first in the state and one of the first in the country.

+1. When I was following along in the book I wrote the interpeter in C#, and pattern matching allowed me to basically skip needing the code generator and the visitor pattern. YMMV but its great. Essentials of Compilation by Siek does a similar trick with python.

The parent commenter said they're using the multiprocessing module, so it's irrelevant to them whether those modules drop the GIL (except for the fact that they are missing an opportunity to using threading instead). The overhead being referred to, whether significant or not, is that of spawning processes and doing IPC.
If this happened every year they’d be underground. Situations like this aren’t common enough to create the need for a real fix. They’ll just patch it up and move on.
it is pretty lucrative for researchers who are unable to find similarly paying full time jobs in their countries

Last fast food gig I had people were smashing stuff against the wall screaming haha you may be talking about the Narnia branches on bro
I don’t think Americans loathe roundabouts. They’re just unfamiliar. So when someone says “would you like to add an unfamiliar section of road design in our town?” most say no.
Classic response. Sorry. And yes, fuck me! I couldn't help either.
I think there is also a tree maintenance issue, the same problem that lead to fires in California. I'm 2 blocks from where one of the tornados touched down during the derecho and close the transmission lines that were heavily damaged. We were without power for 5 days after the derecho and only 1 day this time. If you look at where power was least impacted and restored the soonest for Beryl it is the same area that was most impacted by the derecho.

I think the derecho took out a lot of the problematic trees and branches.
Hardly slacks fault. With so many clients and so much money behind that, theres such a big target on their back that shoring up defenses is fundamentally impossible. It’s probably best to just consider such services from such large providers as already compromised, and keep sensitive data off them entirely.
I'm predominantly working on an easier system to post new content to a blog. I still have a wordpress site, but it was starting to feel bloated and required too much effort to maintain, keep the plugins updated, backup the MySQL database, etc.

I wanted to have more end-to-end control over everything, so I decided to switch to a static site generator (Pelican). But I was looking to develop a turnkey solution so I could post to my blog directly from Obsidian using a custom plugin that runs directly inside it.

With one click of a button, my markdown note is converted/formatted and all the image assets are compressed into optimal WebP format. All of that is then handed off to Pelican, a static site generator which combines it with a custom theme, and creates a set of exportable HTML files. These files are then pushed to my GitHub repo. From there, a GitHub runner takes over, copies the new article onto my VPS, and then everything is instantly refreshed on my website.

It's less about the overall aesthetic—because I know the site looks like hot garbage—and more about a frictionless experience for posting new content.

The first test of the POC was an article about building the entire system.

my concern is what happens when github decides they don't want you on their platform any more, and terminate your account immediately?
Thats for Ruining MCU!
They are indeed not equivalent, but for our use case this is sufficent, if we detect data corruption we can just throw away the files and download/regenerate them (this is a freely available dataset, if a bit large, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endgame_tablebase will explain it better than me). For this reason, it is also not backupped.
They even allow you to do a couple turns until you decide next action (although my wife hates it).
Maybe they shorted the stock.
But do you have to explain? Isn’t it part of the studies one do in order to obtain a driving license in us?
To be fair that really isn't 'big money' in most of those cities, assuming big money has some connotation of significantly above average after tax and expenses disposable income in those areas, especially relative to your peers. I don't think it would be unfair to say that would be big money compared to many European workers in the same jobs though.
Anecdotally, I also think the way roundabouts get built in the US is better now than a decade or two ago. It used to be that roundabouts (being unfamiliar) were just treated as a cookie-cutter object to plunk into the roadspace blindly.

Nowadays I often see the designers making conscious decisions like:

* what radius?

* what angle do we need so it doesn't even make sense to try to turn left?

* hard curb or drivable curb?

* central pit, flat center, or raised center?

* full roundabout, or teardrop-shaped (common on both sides of a highway bridge)? Apparently peanut-shaped is also a possibility though I haven't seen one.

* one-lane, two-lane, or a mixture (potentially including partial three-lane) depending on what part of the circle (common when there's a "major" road meeting a minor one)?

This is all of course ignoring the fact that drivers are also more aware of how to use them nowadays.
Interpretation of "reasoning" looks to be a matter of opinion, like AI and AGI. If it's sequential application of some rules, then there is a lot of 'reasoning' software around. Almost all of it. There is no strict boundary where it becomes 'AI'. However, even stochastic parrots like ChatGPT can be extremely useful and outperform humans on some tasks. So, OpenAI talking about reasoning actually didn't say much. Their GPT is already doing it at some level, it can even spell it out step by step.
Generative AI is also a use case, this doesn't talk about AI in general just the hype around generative AI that we see today.
The example is slightly contrived (the entire linked list was preallocated), but seems like the same technique could be a useful performance optimization, such as if successive calls to malloc commonly return pointers with a particular stride.
I just know what I hear. Power outage during freezing temperatures in winter time, and their response? No handouts, pull yourself up by your bootstraps. As if people in a major metropolitan city can just go into the nearby woods and gather firewood.

Politics is definitely a factor.

Deregulation is a terrible idea for life supporting and necessary utilities, power specifically. By deregulating the market, everyone is forced to compete for a finite amount of transmission ability for low profits, each one trying to undercut the other IMO. It completely destabilized the Texas power market. At this point, it may be worth considering putting the Texas power grid into some type of federal receivership.
A lifetime of money is ~$10M or so. That's $100k/year for 100 years.

Proper logging for retention would surely involve a point where you encrypt the data with a temporary key and then encrypt that key with the public key and only your top brass would have access to the HSM that could decrypt that blob..
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

I got my start in that era and they only looked smart if you didn't look deeply. Too many options, too many areas where they created a problem and then passed it off to someone else to fix.
> Okay, you don’t like her.

Wait what? I think she's doing a great job exposing crypto grifts/scams/hacks/etc. and I check her web3 feed at least once a week, but she does have a persona to uphold. Why would I pretend she's some platonic ideal of objectivity? For reasons mentioned, I do think this SuperPAC stuff is a bit reaching, but that's neither here nor there.
There's a path to that though: start with single-lane or turbo roundabouts with a turn at each entrance and you're golden.
I cherish this book, its fantastic. I love all of the tidbits about PL history in the margins, and its a great guide through the world of language design.

If you're looking for a follow up, I might have a recommendation. I recently got Essentials Of Compilation by Jeremy G. Siek, and I'm very excited to find some time to read it. There is a version implemented in python and racket (two separate books), so you can pick what you're more comfortable with. (I chose python). Its very elegantly written and after each chapter you end up with a working compiler.
...WTF.

The Wikipedia article doesn't even give any explanation as to why.

Why on earth did they build a circle of six roundabouts, rather than simply a single roundabout with six entrances/exits?

I'm baffled.
When cycling or walking, I find roundabouts less safe and more inconvenient than traffic lights. Especially the multi-lane variety.
Not always - teardrop-shaped roundabouts do exist - but those usually come in pairs (and often involve some one-way-roads) anyway.
How does it look on one hand to say that the EU cares about it's users data and wants the users to be able to choose who it is shared with, has clear guidelines related to it's storage and levy fines on companies who breach these terms and then turn around and come out with Chat Control V2?

Something does not compute. Either you are pro privacy and you act like it or you are not.

It kills me to hear that Europe is pro privacy, because it is not true. Not if you look under the veneer and start peeling back the layers.

These sorts of data breaches should be a wake up call for any state actors who are planning on collecting massive amounts of data on their citizens.

It should make them pause and say, you know maybe we should not just give away all our data to Russia or China if they manage to break in our system.

Maybe the best way to avoid such data breaches is to not store the data in the first place.
In rural America, there are super dangerous 4-way intersections with stop signs. We're talking highways with 55+ MPH (~88 KPH) speed limits that are relying on everyone to see the sign and stop. Roundabouts would be much safer and better for traffic flow.

There was a recent event where the interstate was closed (accident or something) and everyone had to re-route on those highways resulting in chaos at those intersections.
I could be wrong, but I think some of the tools may also take advantage of undocumented Windows APIs.
The Missing Parts in Cargo
So much for the popular belief or narrative months ago that East Asian countries have no demand for these drugs due to superior lifestyles, better diets, shaming, or walkability. Nah, the actual explanation is that the drugs were not easily or readily available, not that they didn't need or want them. Obesity is becoming a big problem in Asia, especially China, and many of those people still want to lose weight anyway.
Yes, they used a WhatsApp 0day in the murder of Khashoggi.
At the same time, it's likely that Google's (along with most companies) VRP are not actually trying to compete on price with government exploit purchasers. If such an institution is trying to get into someone's Gmail account, they will probably find a way anyhow. And if they do need a certain exploit to do it, they have infinite funds to just keep upping the price they offer.

It's pretty much "Mossad/Not Mossad" threat modeling: https://philsrandomblathering.quora.com/The-Mossad-Not-Mossa...
Yes, that's the line you quoted earlier. It's still not evidence of your accusation and it won't become that through repetition.
I'll like roundabouts as soon as someone comes up with a good way to fix the resource starvation problem (i.e., if there's a constant stream of traffic from your left, you'll never get a turn to go).
VT and chill. Add BND / BNDW if you wish.
It's a conflict between communications and storage. If you are doing data communications, you are probably dealing with phenomena measured in hertz. Those use SI prefixes, so it's natural to use them with bits as well.

But if you are doing data storage, there are many natural power-of-two structures. Using 1024-based prefixes with them often leads to more convenient numbers.
Before I even clocked on this I knew it would be in Tower Hamlets, famous for being the most densely populated council in the UK...

I wonder what a quadtree based approach would look like.
I mean... I'd almost guarantee you're going to wind up in Tower Hamlets again. So the question of how much it costs to optimize for so little is there. But still, interesting alternative method for someone to gnaw on if they wanted.
There are limitations, so you can't do literally everything in it, but you can do quite a lot-- I'd say it easily covers the most common 80%.
We have zero people with an IQ over 200, due to how IQ is defined: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=6.67%CF%83

We also can't reliably test IQ scores over 130, a fact which I wish I'd learned sooner than a decade after getting a test result of 148.

Most humans are motivated to help other humans; the exceptions often end up dead, either in combat (perhaps vs. military, perhaps vs. police), or executed for murder, or as a result of running a suicidal cult like Jim Jones. But not all of them, as seen in the hawks on both sides of the cold war. "Better dead than red" comes to mind.

On the contrary, they are correlated: https://www.vox.com/2016/5/24/11723182/iq-test-intelligence

Trump inherited a lot and reportedly did worse than the market average with that inheritance, so I'm not sure you can draw inference from him using that inhereted money to promote himself as the Republican candidate, beyond the fact that it means other valid rich people (i.e. not Musk because he wasn't born in the US) don't even want to be president — given the high responsibility and relatively low pay, can you say they're wrong? They've already got power and influence. Musk can ban anyone he wants from Twitter, the actual POTUS isn't allowed to do that. And given Musk's diverse businesses, even if he was allowed to run, he'd have a hard time demonstrating that he wasn't running the country to benefit himself (an accusation that has also been made against Trump). Sure the POTUS has a military, how many of the billionaires are even that interested in having their own given what they can do without one?
