Ideally, what ought to happen is the government sets up a system with cryptographic key pairs in a government database.

Adults go to a drug store / grocery store / whoever participates and is licensed to do this. The store clerk checks your ID. If you're an adult, they will give you a public key. The public key comes in an envelope that has been sealed at a government facility. No one can see it until you open the envelope. You can obtain as many of these as you want (you have to pay the cost of the printing / stationary / program admin costs at the time of purchase).

To go on pornhub, you need to type in the public key. Porn hub encodes a message with the key and sends to the government database to get a yes / no.

Governments can prosecute any store that gives out keys to minors (like with alcohol).

Governments can prosecute porn sites that do not adhere to this protocol.

This is good because it provides a lot of points where bad actors may fall afoul of the law, and these bad actors were probably the same types going to commit otehr crimes anyway.

But the truth is, this will never happen, because sites like PornHub are not interested in keeping minors off. They want to get young kids (boys mostly, although I hear girls are getting more amenable) addicted to their porn.
If all drug stores everywhere colluded to record your ID permanently, the analogy might make sense.

There is a right to access porn anonymously if both parties consent. You need to prove that the government has an overriding need to insert itself in the middle.
You can doubt, but you literally don’t know.
Because there's some level of convenience involved with network connectivity for OT.
When it is IC design. PCB modules are not so complex but ICs are.
We have those TOS's in the software world because it would be prohibitively expensive to make all software reliable as a publicly used bridge. For those who died as a direct result of CrowdStrike, that's where the litigious nature of the US becomes a rare plus. And CrowdStrike will lose a lot of customers over this. It isn't perfect, but the market will arbitrate CrowdStrike's future in the coming months and years.
CrowdStrike's terms and conditions say most customers would just get a refund
Same people who destroyed a US bridge recently.

This is the result of giving away US jobs overseas at 1/10th the salary
Off then top of my head, based on limited experience in industrial automation:

- maintenance monitoring data shipping to centralised locations

- computer based HMI system - there might be good old manual control but it might require unreasonable amounts of extra work per work order

- Centralised control system - instead of using panel specific to lift, you might be controlling bunch of tools from common panel

- integration with other tools, starting from things as simple as pulling up manufacturers' service manual to check for details to doing things like automatically raising the lift to position appropriate for work order involving other (possibly also automated) tools with adjustments based on the vehicle you're lifting

There could be more.
Aside from aimbots, there's plenty of abusable legitimate information exposed to the client.

E.g. For CS:GO, the volume of footsteps and gunshots vary by distance so you could use them to triangulate an enemy's position.
When I read comments today I wonder if there is a human being that wrote them or an LLM.

That, to me, is the biggest difference. Previously I was mostly sure that something I read couldn’t have been generated by a computer. Now I’m fairly certain that I would be fooled quite frequently.
From what I can tell, all scalable automated work falls in value towards zero over time.

For example, a person could write a shareware game over a few weeks or months, sell it for $10, buy advertising at a $0.25 customer acquisition cost (CAC) and scale to make a healthy income in 1994. A person could drop ship commodities like music CDs and scale through advertising with a CAC of perhaps $2.50 and still make enough to survive in 2004. A person could sell airtime and make speaking appearances as an influencer with a CAC of $25 and have a good chance of affording an apartment in 2014. A person can network and be part of inside deals and make a million dollars yearly by being already wealthy in a major metropolitan city with a CAC of $250 in 2024.

The trend is that work gets harder and harder for the same pay, while scalable returns go mainly to people who already have money. AI will just hasten the endgame of late stage capitalism.

Note that not all economic systems work this way. Isn't it odd how tech that should be simplifying our lives and decreasing the cost of living is just devaluing our labor to make things like rent more expensive?
This is the market. Good engineering practices don’t hurt but they are not mandatory. If Boeing can wing it so can everybody.
I don’t really understand why AV updates aren’t tested before being pushed out to critical systems and I don’t understand why every system would run the same AV.

But also I don’t understand why this corporate garbageware is still a thing in 2024 when it adds so little value.
This is the opposite, though. A non-US place named after a US city. That's less common.
> not sending the client other players' positions until absolutely necessary (either the client can see the other player, or there's a movement the client could make that would reveal the other player before receiving the next packet)

I think the problem with this is sounds like footsteps or weapons being fired that need to be positional.

Which makes me wonder if you could get away with mixing these sounds server-side and then streaming them to the client to avoid sending positions. Probably infeasible in practice due to latency and game server performance, but fun to think about.
Our critical devices were fine. But epic and all of our machines were down. How do you transmit radiology images without epic?

Which is their "One Job" ?

Options include:

1. protected the systems always work even if things are messed up

2. protected systems are always protected even when things are messed up

The two failure modes are exclusive; ideally you let the end user decide what to do if the protection mechanism is itself unstable.

One could suggest "the system must always work" but that's ignoring that sometimes things don't go to plan.

None of the systems in boot loops were p0wned by known exploits while they were boot looping. As far as we know anyhow.

(edited to add the obvious default of "just make a working system" which is of course both a given and not going to happen)
If porn was like drugs, the analogy might make sense.

Isn't that basically non rolling-release distros?
> Slow startup

This makes the jvm a bit less suitable for programmes with short lifetimes (like lambdas), depending on how sensitive startup times are in context... But is mostly irrelevant in long-lived applications like services.

> design that inherently favors class-based languages like Java

Clojure abstracts over this so well that it's really a non-issue for a wide array of use cases / applications. When programming in Clojure, you really don't have to think about objects and classes at all, unless you really insist on doing so.

> frequent need to use Java libraries

This would be going against the grain: you will have a much better time by staying within native Clojure. I've worked on commercial/production applications that barely had any java interop, and whatever java interop there was was rarely ever involved in day to day work.

---

Disclaimer: I also am not a huge fan of the JVM and I really dislike the Java world generally, but it never stood in the way of me getting stuff done with Clojure.

Yes, several states like Virginia only sell liquor at government-owned stores. Others like Oregon require that liquor stores are separately run, and they'll scan your ID everytime and it'll get sent to the state alcohol bureau.

Of course then you also have states like Louisiana with drive-through Daquiri stores.
In general any one can make a passkey app. Keepass chooses to be out of spec. No one is gatekeeping them. If an nginx server receives bad data it spits out a 400 error instead of processing the request. One of the reasons browsers are still effed up is because they refused to be standards compliant and were still paying for quirks mode. I would like to see this article complain about an http server handling a bad actor.

Otherwise, create multiple passkeys. Create a passkey in your ios keychain and in your Keepass app. This walled garden has a gate, walk through it.
Agree. Calling it done and using it might be the best approach.

If this is truly a "small project for myself", start using it.

If the app mostly does what you want, and you enjoy using the app, anything in the last 30% that you feel like you need - you'll be motivated to fix.

Also, drop the tests. I'm not sure there's a lot of benefit in doing that for a web page editor you wrote for yourself.
Slow rollouts can be quite quick. We used to do 3-day rollouts. Day one was a tiny fraction. Day two was about 20%. Day three was a full rollout.

It was ages ago, but from what I remember, the first day rollout did occasionally catch issues. It only affected a small number of users and the risk was within the tolerance window.

We also tested locally before the first rollout.
Random idea based on article:

I'd love to see a future Sci-fi TV episode where a character gets not one, but multiple such "from the future gift boxes with video messages from a future self" -- but from multiple future selves, that is, multiple future parallel universe versions of the character!

In other words, "here is a set of potential future you's -- along with the instructions to activate them -- important upcoming life decisions to make or not to make, depending on the desired outcome..."

And what would make it really interesting (as the plot unfolds!)... is that all of these apparently disparate sets of decisions -- are actually intertwined, entangled, and potentially mutually contradictory (i.e., choosing one set unchooses all of the others!)

Now, for extra points, for the future SF writer or writers working on this -- make it so that the main character, after discovering the "either-or" mutual exclusion principle inherent in these choices -- tries to somehow cheat fate and destiny by attempting to somehow obtain ALL of them at the same time!

Will the character be successful in his quest against the apparent exclusivity of fate?

Or will he somehow manage to attain all of these future possibilities, all at the same time?

Well, that's the episode plot for this future TV Sci-Fi episode and/or movie (should it ever be written!)

Anyway, interesting article!
The issue with your idea, other than the obvious free speech stuff, is that it is not possible to stop offshore sites from posting content without an age verification. All this would do is move everyone from onshore sites like pornhub to offshore sites that have zero regulation at all. You dont see how that is worse than the status quo?
Well that's even better for the point of the article.
I know it's supposed to be a statement to take the absurd title of my article a bit further, but in some cases, I can see that being said unironically.

Nothing good would happen if some machine running Windows XP in a hospital that's hooked up to an expensive piece of equipment that doesn't run with anything else suddenly got connected to the Internet. Nor does the idea of any IoT device reaching past the confines of the local network make me feel safe, given how you hear about various exploits that those have.

On one hand, you should get security patches whenever possible. On the other hand, it's not realistic to get just security patches with non-breaking changes only. Other times, pieces of hardware and software will just be abandoned (e.g. old Android phones) and then you're on your own, even if you'd want to keep them up to date.
Many years ago an Ubuntu tech sales guy demoed their (openstack?) Self hosted cloud offering, his laptop was running windows..
Standalone servers. Run your own then you can ban anyone you like, or better still only allow anyone you like.
Exactly. All because they want a "job." which just rewards this sort of behavior.
I'm not sure about Nebraska's law, but the law only states PH acquires proof, not keep a record of the license. That means PornHub could hire people to view the license on a live feed and then click yes / no.

I compiled the client source, but every time I try to connect to a server it kicks me out or tells me to get a 'blessed' binary. What gives?

It's possible to modify the client source to do lots of tedious tasks (like aiming, dodging, that sort of thing) for you. Since this gives you a big advantage over a mere human, netrek has a way of knowing whether you have a client that was compiled by the netrek Gods or by you.

The whole idea of running a backdoor with OS privileges in order to increase system security screams Windows. In Linux, even if Crowdstrike (or similar endpoint management software) is allowed to update itself, it doesn't have to run as a kernel driver. So a buggy update to Crowdstrike would only kill Crowdstrike and nothing else.

And Linux is not even a particularly hardened OS. If we could take some resources from VC smoke and mirrors and dedicate them to securing our critical infrastructure we could have airports and hospitals running on some safety-critical microkernel OS with tailored software.
It's not anymore the recommended way and last I checked it's not really being maintained as much as other ways, but for quite a while, it was the recommended way.
I've certainly have had ports fail, but software is worse, and bluetooth is a lot of software. My spouse's phone was able to connect to our van for some time, then a phone software update broke it, and it took 3 months for them to push a new one that fixed it. If it was a wired 4-pin connection for handsfree audio and either port failed, it would probably take less time to get it fixed. (Yes, a 4-pin connection probably leaves out features from Bluetooth, but no agency to fix problems is worse)

I've yet to have a SIM fail on me, and I don't see why I would want to lose out on the convenience of removing the SIM from old phone, and inserting it into the new one. Moving an eSIM requires interaction with the carrier as I understand it.
The thing is that, despite the file has a confusing .sys extension, it's not the driver, but rather a data file loaded by the Crowdstrike driver.
CNC machine tools can track use, maintenance, etc via the network. You can also push programs to them for your parts.

The need a new copy of Windows because running an old copy on a network is a worse idea.

I've had updates break Linux machines.

Just a few weeks ago I had an OpenBSD box render itself completely unbootable after nothing more than a routine clean shutdown. Turns out their paranoid-idiotic "we re-link the kernel on every boot" coupled with their house-of-cards file system corrupted the kernel, then overwrote the backup copy when I booted from emergency media - which doesn't create device nodes by default so can't even mount the internal disks without more cryptic commands.

Give me the Windows box, please.

The GOP can't force interest rate cuts unless they eliminate the Federal Reserve, and if they do that we're straight back to the boom/bust cycles of the late 19th century - which doesn't help the economy. Since we know tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires does not lead to economic growth and only serves to increase federal deficits, the policies the GOP favors lead to interest rates increases. Like I said, we just got their last round shenanigans under the previous Trump administration under control.

Not just California - The Alamo in San Antonio is surrounded by cheap tourist stores.

It was run by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas for years and they did a great job but didn't have any influence over the zoning around the Mission. It is now run by the Alamo Trust and they have a plan and the ability to restore the plaza area around it.

You can set an <mj-class> at the top of the file for a given design format to simplify your code. So in your example, if you did:

<mj-class name="typebox" padding-bottom="0px" padding-top="0px" padding="10px 25px">

<mj-class name="paragraph" color="#55575d" align="left" font-family="Arial, sans-serif" font-size="13px" line-height="22px">

That would allow you to simplify your callbacks to

<mj-text mj-class="paragraph typebox">

You can also set CSS classes as well if you need something outside the MJML spec for some reason (which would potentially cover some of your cross-platform concerns).

MJML also integrates well with other languages. For example, I use a Craft CMS integration to pull data in via Twig to build complete templates directly from my CMS; there’s also an integration with Eleventy.
I agree wholeheartedly. Thanks a lot!

> The only reason wallhacking is possible in the first place is a server sending a client information on a competitor that the client should not know about.

Some information is required to cover the network and server delays.

The client predicts what things should look like and then corrects to what they actually are if there is a discrepancy with the server. You cannot get around this short of going back to in-person LAN games.

It's also the second time that iced has caught my attention today. The first was when I ran into an issue installing sniffnet on a new machine and had to revisit the docs.

It's a byte like any other. You're more likely to see big files full of 0x0 than 0x1, but it's really not so different.

The explosion in AI over the last decade has really brought into light how incredibly self-aggrandizing humans naturally are.
It's only odd if you model economics as a cooperative venture between a society trying to build better collective outcomes, and not as a competitive system. Additional capability and information can never hurt a single actor taken in isolation. But added capability and information given to multiple actors in a competitive game can make them all worse off.

As a simple example, imagine a Prisoner's Dilemma, except neither side knows defecting is an option (so in effect both players are playing a single-move game where "cooperate" is the only option). Landing on cooperate-cooperate in this case is easy (indeed, it's the only possible outcome). But as soon as you reveal the ability to defect to both players, the defect-defect equilibrium becomes available.

At what point of my proposal did the government keep track of shopping habits. The government issues cards to stores; kind of like transit cards at grocery stores.

In my city of Portland, if you want a youth transit card you have to show proof you're a kid. Or if you want a senior one, proof you're over 65.

Still, the government doesn't actually know who you are. It's just a number. The number is similarly hidden until you open the package. I don't think anyone could track it.
Sure. In Romania, a lot of public sector jobs (the easy, influential or well paying ones) are given out only via nepotism and political connections, usually to descendants and connections of the former communist party high-ups and former members of the military/intelligence services who now own and run lucrative businesses (monopolies for the state) and their kids are usually in charge of the business or in politics cutting the deals to enable them.

There's just no explicit quota system like in Bangladesh, but everything is done in the shadows under the table, and the economy and freedom is good enough that people won't bother revolting over it (again), but everyone knows it's happening. I think it's similar all over the Balkans, Former Yugoslav and former USSR countries.
> Not so on Linux unfortunately, any driver will bring the system down.

I work for a company that provides secure endpoints that are Linux based (and can also run Windows apps without issue). We do not ship Linux kernels that contain drivers that cause crashes.

Per our IT patterns and also mandated by our commercial contracts, we investigate any crashes that occur. Over the last five years, not a single crash has been caused by a device driver.

We also will never have a use for the style of security software that Crowdstrike has. Our security stack is proactively preventative, not reactive or looking for "anomalies".

So this "it absolutely would [happen on Linux]", should have an asterisk, a huge one glaring like the sun, and without said asterisk is inaccurate at an extreme.
