You're absolutely right, there are more options.

Let's say you're a CISO and it's your task to evaluate Cybersecurity solutions to purchase and implement.

You go out there and found out that there are multiple organizations that tests (simulate attacks) the EDR capabilities of these Vendors periodically and published grades of these Vendors.

You found the top 5 to narrow down your selections and you pitted them in PoC which consists of attack simulations and end-to-end solutions (that's the Response part of EDR).

The winner gets the contract.

Unless there are tie-breakers...

PS: I heard others (and read) said that CS was best-in-class which suggested that they probably won PoC and received high grades from those independent Organizations.

> Some have a culture that indoctrinated them to exploit and explicitly not integrate with the general population.

Can we be more specific please?

I live in an European country and have not observed what you're describing here.

There are individuals and groups that have tendencies like you describe, but the generalization doesn't hold in my eyes.

I've had refugees in my family, inner circle, at workplaces and so on. The most general observation I can make is that people who tend to flee or migrate from authoritarian, politically oppressive places tend to be very appreciative of social democratic systems.
This is an article about installing trench boxes, which is a decision made by the company, not individual workers, and has a long list of company execs admitting they didn’t follow the law because it cost them money. This isn’t that complicated and doesn’t really compare to individuals foregoing personal safety equipment.
People are target fixating too much. Sure, this parser crashed and caused the system to go down. But in an alternative universe they push a definition file that rejects every openat() or connect() syscall. Your system is now equally as dead, except it probably won't even have the grace to restart.

The whole concept of "we fuck with the system in kernel based on data downloaded from the internet" is just not very sound and safe.
Not wanting immigration laws enforced is exactly what I'm talking about with nudge-nudge wink-wink. An unenforced law isn't really a law.

Also you're crazy if you think most Republicans in Congress actually want immigration laws enforced. They like the cheap labor. They just want to use it as a wedge issue every 2-4 years.
I think point 3 of the grand parent indicates admins were not given an opportunity to test this.

My company had a lot of Azure vms impacted by this and I'm not sure who the admin was who should have tested it. Microsoft? I don't think we have anything to do with crowdstrike software on our vms. ( I think - I'm sure I'll find out this week.)

Edit: I just learned the Azure central region failure wasn't related to the larger event - and we weren't impacted by the crowd strike issue - I didn't know it was two different things. So my second part of the comment is irrelevant.
If only it had given us dict/apply/lmap earlier, embraced its prefix-ness more (no ugly expr nor https://core.tcl-lang.org/tips/doc/trunk/tip/676.md when we already can do Lisp-style arithmetic via `namespace path {::tcl::mathop ::tcl::mathfunc}`) and had better tools for metaprogramming (string based templating is suboptimal, let us say)...

It still was my gateway into Common Lisp and remains a very cool scripting language with builtin event loop, good Unicode handling and very practical/"batteries included" stdlib.
The tech stack is possible because each individual part is (relatively) predictable and boring (when used within parameters).
How much of success is luck?
I sympathize with the engineers, QA, and everyone involved in getting this out.

I have to imagine it was a lot of long hours, and the testing was insane. The last thing I want to do is put this tool out and it somehow messes things up more.

But glad it’s out. Hopefully it helps with the remaining machines and with any that are being problematic.
I've only ever seen rumors and reports of them being >$10k USD and only available to enterprise customers.

Where are you seeing pricing for the H100 and MI300?
I worked for tips for many years before one of my regulars helped me with getting into tech (yes I was very lucky). One aspect of this issue that doesn't get talked about a lot is that there is a portion of workers (think bartenders or servers) who work for tips that prefer that system because you can make a LOT of money on certain shifts with the right kind of hustle. To put it another way, if you are working one of these jobs and you have a big expense coming up, you can work your ass off and make more money. Your pay goes up proportionally to your effort. In an hourly job that doesn't happen. You just make what you make. To be clear: I AM NOT DEFENDING TIPPING CULTURE. I am just pointing out that there is a certain cohort of folks who perpetuate it to the detriment of everyone else. When the whole fair wage discussion gets brought up, those folks are the ones who rally the hardest against it. It's kind of insane.
From national security perspective this sort of backdoor is extremely great idea as long as you think you are only one with the keys. Get to inject your own stuff any system with approval of some secret court... What is better than that?
In the U.S., from what I've heard from friends who have been food service workers, the tips are collected by the server, but split up nightly among the whole front/back set of workers.
Ah yes, sanctions. That's what everyone said when I was in Venezuela toward the end of Chavez. Couldn't possibly be incompetence or corruption.
You said Crowdstrike doesn't offer protection but there are plenty in this thread that suggested they actually do and seemed to be highly regarded at the field.

Not sure who the ignoramus here...
I'm talking about historical use of these letters in Latin.

But if you've seen middle and early modern English text that hasn't been sanitized for modern readers, you will see a lot of stuff. You'll see W written as uu. You'll see lots of Vs and Us trading places, in places we no longer put them.

And eg. I kind of suspect the UK pronunciation of lieutenant, where u is /f/, has roots in it being /v/.

52! Is greater than 2^64. Given that a PRNG has a 64-bit seed, and some period where it starts to repeat itself, any naive shuffling algorithm has some arrangements of cards it can't create.

"Great servers"? You mean servers who deal with large bills? The amount they get as tips is determine generally by the bill not the service.
The passmark numbers are almost identical to a 12th-gen intel i7-12700K, however the still-modern 12-core intel cpu has to pull about 4x as much power to do it.
What capitalist country would be able to deal with this level of sanctions that Cuba experiences?

People hoped that even such a huge capitalist country like Russia would fall after sanctions. Granted, did not work out because Russia found alternative allies in China and Iran but the idea that capitalist countries can just eat up sanctions like nothing is insane. Otherwise sanctions wouldn't be a political tool to begin with.

Lots of capitalist African countries have people just starving on mass and that is despite having free access to markets and despite western countries not only not sabotaging them but on the contrary providing development aid. But you will tell me how that is "not real capitalism" and how they are doing it wrong. Real capitalism is just the few rich Western Nations, we don't talk about the losers.

Communist revolutions tend to happen in the poorest countries on earth and they face adversity on every step of the way. That they even manage to survive shows how resilient socialism is.
I - a white German - got verbally attacked in the subway of Berlin by a man because I looked somehow foreign to him... So even being white and German sometimes doesn't help... Being from the wrong side of the village can be bad enough.

Integration is hard - I recently went to an intergration event at a local church - almost no Germans there - and also the different foreign communities didn't really interact with each other. E.g. there's severe hatered between the different groups of Turkish people.

I think there are a lot of outsiders in German society - ethnic integration is hard. Maybe Special interest groups - like Computer Meetups or Maker-Spaces can help with Integration into a new Clan?!
Often the safety equipment provided is the cheapest, most uncomfortable, version possible. Cheap safety glasses can fog up quickly or chafe, for example. The company does this fully expecting that it won't be used, but they can then blame the workers for not using it when something does go wrong.
You obviously haven’t compared GUIs, the most hodgepodge mix of we have that feature! in a sea of confusion and disrespect for interface standards.
I think there’s a term confusion here, jews generally integrated well wherever they went but what they didn’t do was assimilate in the larger population. They kept their own traditions over the ones in the countries they migrated to and continued to keep tightly knited communities, to the envy or suspiciton of the host countries.
Issue here is that there is no reason for organization that mandates these sort of solution to not mandate them in what ever distro they will use or allow on their machines.

In the end unless system is entirely locked down by the vendor without any compromise that will happen... And most of the time these customers will choose something else that is not entirely locked so they can have their security thingy...
Hahahaha that’s a hilarious idea. I once applied to a company just to fix the fact that they banned emailing my domain name because it briefly had a lapse in registration. It was preventing me doing password recovery…they ended up fixing it after weeks of me emailing everyone i could find at the company and explaining in detail exactly why they couldn’t email me. Default sendgrid reputation protection behaviour, they had no idea.
Serious question. Do you put buttplug.io on your CV? :)
I wonder if it was pushed anywhere that didn't crash, as an extension of "It works on my machine. Ship it!"

I've built a couple of kernel drivers over the years and what I know is that ".sys" files are to the kernel as ".dll" files are to user-space programs in that the ones with code in them run only after they are loaded and a desired function is run (assuming boilerplate initialization code is good).

I've never made a data-only .sys file, but I don't see why someone couldn't. In that case, I'd guess that no one ever checked it was correct, and the service/program that loads it didn't do any verification either -- why would it, the developers of said service/program would tend to trust their own data .sys file would be valid, never thinking they'd release a broken file or consider that files sometimes get corrupted -- another failure mode waiting to happen on some unfortunate soul's computer.

Tell payment processors that they cant sell tipping screens to certain (or any) vendor code

Tell insurers of the payment processor they cant insure them if they push tipping screens

At the local level create incentives for non-tip culture businesses that go out of their way to that to discourage it, effectively penalizing the tipping culture ones
This fix is no longer relevant as they no longer use twitter.com as of later today.
No subminimum wage + tipping is fine.

But I think tipping before you receive what you pay for is extortion, and that should be banned.
Cuba is the only socialist country currently. Maybe North Korea if you close one and a half eyes. China has long gone capitalist.

You can, but that makes the type system worse. Also depending on how these few bytes are used, they can add up and drag down performance.
I mostly agree, but that still won't fix this issue. Nothing has 100% uptime. Let's say Crowdstrike has an SLA of 99.99%. Even with this outage, they probably meet that depeding on the time frame.

So which mangers bear the blame here? The ones who likely met their SLAs, or the ones who knew their systems relied on software that wasn't 100% reliable and didn't have a backup plan?
Quebec still has a lower minimum wage for servers: $12.60 instead of $15.75.

A lot of former Trump administration officials are involved in Project 2025, at least 140, which is more than half of the people listed as authors and contributors to their Mandate for Leadership document [0]. There's also over 100 conservative organizations on the Project 2025 advisory board [1], organizations that have also endorsed Trump for president. There's a lot of overlap in this document with positions that Trump has endorsed.

It appears to everyone, on both the left and the right, that Project 2025 is what conservatives want for a future Trump administration. There doesn't seem to be much of a competing vision for the future of the Republican party, certainly nothing as detailed as this 900 page document nor as widely backed by other conservatives.

This is why a lot of people are looking at this document. Maybe you should be, too?

I do acknowledge that Trump has been trying to distance himself from Project 2025 lately, coinciding with the press coverage the details in that document have been getting.

I've heard about that in Europe as well, dunno if it's the norm or just some places that do it.
Hospitality workers have the most glaring conflict of interest, while acting like they are marginalized people whose voices we should listen to.
Personally I love tipping. I’ll tip even for ridiculous things like buying a bag of coffee bean. Guy seemed nice and smiled and tried to answer a question I had - sure have an extra couple bucks. Not a big deal to me, but who knows maybe it is to him. Hell sometimes I’ll even tip an additional 20% on top of the built tip at places where they add ~20% to the bill before you get it, though I reserve this for exceptional cases.

On the flip side, I’ll just as happily tip near 0 at a restaurant when the situation calls for it. If we were somehow to abolish tipping, this would not be possible - prices would just increase uniformly.
This looks nice.

I have been looking for a DB client for postgres that seems to match the correct amount of features and interface that phpmyadmin has.

Not really a fan of pgadmin, I just find the interface to be too clunky.
> spanish is heavily ablative case instead of accusative

Is it? Aren't the descendants of the ablative mostly -amante adverbs and e.g. conmigo? The wiki article of Ablative Case doesn't even mention Spanish.

Got any other examples of ablative in Spanish?
> Companies fined by OSHA, whose role is to ensure workplace safety, sometimes ignored the penalties and faced no consequences, including one that still owes more than $1.4 million imposed after the deaths of two employees eight years ago.

> While those who violate OSHA standards can be criminally charged, authorities rarely brought charges. When they did, most offenders got off with a fine, probation or little time in jail.

OSHA regulations are written in blood and there should be steep consequences for those who violate them including criminal charges. Based on recent happenings[0], the Supreme Court is looking to target OSHA next. They may have denied to hear this case but the opinions speak for themselves. It is on the radar.

Show HN: I Made an AI Deals Finder to Help You Find the Best Deals on Products
Hey HN,
Do you love good bargains?

I built an AI Deal Finder that checks online marketplaces (Amazon & eBay) for the best deal on any product and tells you where to get a good bargain.

This is a time saver for anyone who compares prices across marketplaces like me.

No more juggling between two or three websites, manually checking and comparing prices, let BestOfferAI do this for you.

I hope this tool will be as helpful to you as it is to me. I would love your feedback, please.
Possibly one of the most important articles of your scientific journey —- not just because of its hypothesis, but to help you avoid “tactical fixation” on the wrong ones.

No, my point is that it doesn't. If your zero-sized types are big your type system is not any worse: it's just less efficient.
No: that free trade, low tariffs, and low export restrictions - free market principles - are implicitly championed by the supporters of insular, low freedom regimes that receive plaudits just because they had revolutionaries who promised free health care, university and the like, and they think these free trade principles happen in a vacuum.

I'm not pretending the USA doesn't meddle destructively or that Battista was some saint, but multidecade single party rule of Castro was an objective failure, along with the other Socialist regimes of the 20th century.

With all the hype around AI, deeptech, etc., I’m wondering if there’s a market for R&D consulting as a form of technical due diligence. I see money being thrown at some of the most hare-brained nonsense that could have been avoided with a bit of critical analysis. I would think sophisticated investors and customers would find this kind of service useful, but maybe I’m missing something.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of work?
Question that rises from this sort of thing happening is that, if they are actually making what can be considered a lot of money. Is the current rate too high? Could customers instead tip some fraction and they would still be fine? Let's say drop rate to 5%? Going from a lot to just reasonable amount?
> tractors + wide implements vs robots

In theory there exists a crossover point, right? Tractors scale somewhere like O(x^2) to O(x^3) in costs as the implements get wider by a factor of x, depending on exact design decisions, and swarms of robots scale out somewhere like O(x). Tractors have been getting bigger (trying to get more work done for the same amount of human labor), and if that trend continues you'd expect some sort of smaller, swarm solution to be viable (be it on the larger end, small automated tractors, or smaller still where you can take advantage of local sensors and automate something like weeding instead of paying for herbicides and that particular flavor of special seeds).
Before COVID shut it down, I had picked up bartending as a side gig for something to do on top of my tech job. It wasn't so much about the money for me, so I'd often try bypassing the tipping screen on the machine for the customer... And then they'd get upset with me for doing so.

It's pretty clear that the customers also prefer to give tips. Until you quash that, things can't change. The customer dictates everything in the end.
this isnt a good contribution to this site
I second this. My day job is tech but I redid a rental property. I told the workers to wear a harness on the roof. I didn’t cheap out and bought nice comfortable equipment.

They told me they were wearing it, but I came by unannounced and there they were on the roof with no harness.

I asked the supervisor what was up and they were doing the same thing to him. They would put it on then take it off as soon as no one was looking.

It was Latin machismo - the social pressure was so strong to not look goofy in a harness. The second time I saw this happen I wrote a firm zero tolerance letter which I translated to Spanish and hand delivered.

One of the crew still didn’t listen. I fired him.

(Not saying that reckless bosses aren’t an issue, especially in these trenching incidents where the safety equipment didn’t exist)
