Not sure if the two[1][2] Hydrogen stations in all of Norway really qualifies. We had some more but they closed down. One closed after blowing up[3] due to a couple of bolts not being tightened[4] according to spec.

And cities designed for humans (as opposed to cars) take a lot of care to slow down (or entirely divert) the traffic in places where there are a lot of humans, make crossings safer, provide decent public transport, keep cyclists safe, etc.

In my current city (Vienna), I still tend to look both ways out of habit, but in many places (like my neighbourhood) I actually feel safe crossing without actively looking.

I get your point but I think pentesters are perfectly capable of thinking in graphs, including web security. Bug chains are the immediate example, where a couple of CVSS 4-7 vulns can be turned into a full rce/whatever 9.8 equivalent. This bug chaining fundamentally occurs via elements of compromise i.e a graph traversal.

Bloodhound is great, and a nice visual tool for people to conceptualise attack graphs but it’s just a part of the process of understanding the target domain from an attackers perspective. No nice tool like bloodhound exists for web pentesting because a chain of compromise can’t simply be reduced into tool form there because a chain is often specific to the app and not an underlying framework, unlike AD where the security boundaries are well(ish) understood and codified.

Pentest reports include stuff like SMB signing and “don’t admin everything with your DA account ” because they are glowing hot nodes very early in a chain of compromise, meaning that is often how stuff gets popped IRL. It’s (hopefully) not that the pentester doesn’t understand graph thinking, it’s just the the first node in the graph represents effectively complete compromise, so why traverse?
The changing bit is at the beginning, unless I misunderstand you.

Worker and Worklet are primitives, you can't really split them up. You can't have a LetWorkGlobalScope and an ErWorkGlobalScope, so WorkerGlobalScope and WorkletGlobalScope is the best you can do.

That said, I usually prefer the changing bit at the end. So something like GlobalScopeForWorker, GlobalScopeForWorklet. But then that's clunky, so we're back at WorkerGlobalScope and WorkletGlobalScope again.
I'd agree. It's hard though, political landscapes change. Well intended companies can also change as they get bigger. I guess in that sense it's all in flux, including capitalism (as it's only enabled through laws and regulations).

Story and dialogue heavy games did well in the market, and work-intensive art assets like voice acting made it so these couldn’t scale through procedural generation. Ultimately there’s less call for big empty spaces.

Of course US companies do more snooping.

The US is where companies from Google, Facebook, and Microsoft to Visa, Mastercard and Equifax are headquartered.

EU-based snooping companies just aren't as good at it, and don't have anywhere near the same scale.
I don't buy this argument. As an informant how can I be absolutely sure it's not recording? The only way to be certain it's not recording is to not bring it to the 'meeting'.
You are getting this wrong.

Basically the framework, like the Shield before, is the Commission trying to show "look, we fixed it".

Sadly, for the previous two times, the ECJ pointed out after the fact that no framework can fix the lack of data privacy law in the US, and that as such, the Shield, just like its predecessor, was not allowing what it claimed to do.

The Framework has not been tested in the ECJ so far, but the US has not significantly altered its laws so...
Raph Koster is also currently working on a new game, that aims to take this ideas of social experience and player-driven virtual society and push it beyond what they were able to do with UO. (Also with less PK-ing, griefing, etc. - things he regretted about UO, but many people today consider synonymous with sandbox)

Interestingly enough, this new game is NOT going to have any shards or sharding at all - not even instancing - but just many (procedurally generated) planets, that are all part of the same shared universe and economy.

Thus, some of the very unique ambitions behind UO and SWG might actually become part of a new, more modern game:

I've done both thank you.

In high school I was living very close to the school and me and a group of friends gathered at my PC to play Worms after school and sometimes during school. HoMM took longer so needed more organization.

Largely agree, but the risks are long government procurement cycles and large order sizes of physical inventory.
I'd agree, hence that's why I said I wish there was a better system. I don't know it either. Although it might be an uncomfortable truth for me, capitalism isn't great either, but I do think it's the best system we have.
A sufficiently large overtime/weekend bonus will prevent that easily. I've had quite a few conversations both internally and with customers that started with "we need that by monday" and went via "we can do that, but it will cost X extra" to "well, i guess wednesday is fine, too." Mandatory weekend work is an extremely rare occurence here, I can count all occurences in the last five years on one hand and still have fingers to spare.
There’s one plausible escalation scenario: Trump wins and America becomes authoritarian state the same way as Russia did, gradually destroying democratic institutions and opposition. In such scenario EU will be forced to reconsider the relationship with America and pursue strategic autonomy. It is still not a matter of days, months or years.
I think they mean that the change is at the end of the first word in the Variable. i.e, Worker vs. Worklet instead of Worker vs. TinyWorker?

Never give up hope?
The issue is that A/B testing only looks at outcomes, not reasons. There is a possibility that having the sign-up button above the fold wasn't the contributing factor here, or that it was only a contributing factor. Having to scroll through an estimate may lead a potential customer to believe that pricing is too complex or, worse, that the vendor is trying to hide something. Perhaps there are other reasons. The problem is that A/B testing will only tell you the what and not the why.
Since GDPR every interaction with public administration, healthcare, and employer within EU results with additional form or two "oh that's just a GDPR form, you have to sign it". I imply they are all malicious as well?
I agree that a stronger central EU government, more like a federal state would be highly desirable and more efficient in many ways today.

But you are ignoring a ton of stuff here, too. The EU comprises territories that are far more different than the territories of the US. The EU has 24 languages spoken, and its poorest member state has a GDP that is a factor of 9 lower than its richest (excluding Luxembourg). While it would be nice to have strong decision-making, how do you make sure that the decisions are also perceived as fair and democratically justified? Imagine a president who doesn't even speak the native language of the vast majority of people in the country. Would that person be seen as legitimately representing the people? How do you even begin to organize public political discussions in a situation where most people can't read the same newspaper/watch the same content? It's far from obvious that any of this is achievable. It's easy to fantasize about a competent, legitimate central government. But how do you construct it from the pieces given?

The political analogue of the EU might be India rather than the US.

Historically, the EU also comprises the territories that for more than half the time period since the inception of the USA provided all the globally dominant economic and military superpowers, expanding the areas they ruled to the peak of colonialism in 1914 [1]. So the squabbling mess of European powers, barely coordinating under a balance of power system at home, was dramatically successful militarily and economically (at an even more dramatic human cost). Contrast the Quing dynasty, that had a central government. At least some historians I've read argue that maintaining the central government consumed so many resources that it was a major reason for the widening gulf in economic and military might between European power and China during the 19th century.

You have the name you have. You look the way you look. You speak the way you speak. But if you claim to have grown up in one country, or lived for X years with professional success in one city, yet can’t speak the language spoken there and can’t answer simple questions about what you did, where you lived etc? Surely you see why someone would be suspicious, especially as these circumstances add up?

I agree wholeheartedly that you can’t/shouldn’t be suspicious just because someone has an “English” name and looks East Asian, but that together with the other signs is just a bit much.
The article actually discredits its own conclusion early on:

> These outages didn’t happen because developers didn’t test software.

The conclusion being:

> How do you get quality code?...Don’t skimp on static code analysis and functional tests, which should be run as new code is written.

But even working from the conclusion backwards, which is "specs+code analysis" will save you from the big scary thing of "software erosion" and "complexity" thusly sparing us all from outages, I disagree.

Specs+analysis are helpful, but they do not magically solve complexity at scale. Crowdstrike sure, would've benefited from testing I agree but so many other large outtages need more than that, which is the disconnect of the article for me.

At some point you need blackbox, chaos monkey level production tests. Bring down your central database, bring down us-east-1. What happens to the business?

I'm not sure if this is valid, but a lot of the savvier tech companies' outtages feel like they're router configurations that lead to cascading traffic issues. But I have no data to back this thought up.

>From there they can bootstrap yacc, basic coreutils, Bash, autotools, and eventually GCC ... it’s a fascinating process.

I would say about half of the list can be trimmed off if you managed to separate GCC 4 and binutils from their original build scripts, notice the sheer amounts of items there are just repeatedly rebuilding auto-stuff and their dependencies[1].

I probably spend well over 50% of my time testing for (and finding) issues. In my experience, finding issues is 99% of the time involved in fixing them. Once I find the cause of a problem, the fix is almost immediate.

> Thank the dependency hell we’ve put ourselves in.

This was something that we knew was coming, ten years ago. Modular programming is an old, well-established discipline, but that generally means modules of code that we write, or that we control. I write most of my stuff, using a modular architecture, and I write almost every single one of my reusable modules.

Things are very, very different, when we import stuff from outside our sphere. Heck, even system modules can be a problem. Remember "DLL Hell"?

When I first started seeing people excitedly talking about great frameworks and libraries they use, on development boards, I was, like "I don't think this will end well."

I just hope that we don't throw out the modular programming baby with the dependency hell bathwater.

> I made some claims, that invalidate the data the author is using to make claims, some were sourced, the others can be easily verified and are well known.

And what I'm saying is that, as usual, pro-nuclear people like you (there are intelligent pro-nuclear people that are way less unbiased) will explain the situation by cherry picking explanation that fit their ideology rather than also accepting the elements that don't.

You had the opportunity to say "it's of course not just due to that but ...", but you did not, you really cherry pick as if the French situation is due to sabotage while it is in great part due to plenty of other factors, include intrinsic to the difficulty of nuclear.

And, sorry, I cannot really bring source so easily, because I work in the sector, and when I keep hearing someone casually saying "well, France difficulties is due to ... and ...", I don't make a note thinking "I need to keep the source for Kuinox in 3 years from now". I think it's a good proof that you are not working in the sector: the sector does not play the ridiculous "renewable vs nuclear" game, it knows it's way more complicated than that in consequence does not pretend one is better than the other. It's just not how it works.

As usual, fake news and cherry picking takes few minutes for you to generate, and if I want to source that it's crap, I will have to spend hours and hours digging up in my conference notes from years and years in the past. And for what? You have absolutely no idea of the reality and you will just say "na, you are bad, you lie, I don't believe you". You are clearly not worth the effort.

If you are honest and want to make sure you don't spread misleading info, the ball is in your corner, you can have a deeper look to check if what I brought to the table is bringing useful nuance (it does). But I doubt you will, you will just reject the idea that maybe you, the armchair militant who only read things that goes in the convenient direction, maybe does not understand the complex situation so perfectly.
The thing is that such features can also become a burden quickly. E.g. people know it is not used, so nobody bothers to write tests or other things that would be usually done and those things might come back to haunt you once it is and boom a good source for catastrophic failure is there. Also, when you implement it later you can shape it without having to rework a ton of code.

Don't get me wrong, I understand your point here — and if the feature is something that you know for sure will be needed later on, adding it in from the start instead of bolting it on later is absolutely the smart choice. You wouldn't pour a concrete foundation for a building after you built two floors — especially if you know from the start it is going to be a skyscraper you are building.

In fact my experience with software development is that good foundations make everything easier. The question is just whether the thing we're talking about is truly part of the fundament or rather some ornament that can easily be added in later.

That seems reasonable. I understand Worker and Worklet are established concepts in the domain, though, so better to use those names than invent new terminology.
If what they do with data is not "theft" then why this there US laws and contracts to regulate and authorize the use of datas every time I use a new US based service, app, game ? As we see from LLMs, data has value, sometimes probably more than a car. And if it’s worthless, why Uber took the risk in the first place ?

It’s not from us to explain why would drivers be worse. It’s from the one who took the datas to explain why would drivers be better. Because if they would have been better I guess Uber would have done a marketing campaign around it to talk about the benefits instead of doing it this way without anyone noticing.

Often the discussion around these kinds of tech/AI dwell on the wrong things: questions like "will GenAI put artists out of work?" or "should photographers worry about AI-generated headshots?" miss the point that headshot photography probably only accounts for work for a small subset of working photographers, or that most artists are not making the same things that people use GenAI for.

Did Google Translate put professional translators out work? Probably not so much. Certainly not based on the discussions I've had with professionals, who may use AI translation but spend more time on copy-editing the results now.

Most of the time the AI-generated outputs are fine when you don't value the results more than the cost of getting better results. If you're doing translation of legal or technical documents, getting more accurate results is worth paying for.

Same thing for headshots: if they're important you probably pay for them, if not you weren't going to pay for a professional to do them anyway.

More than though: the whole point of portrait photography is displaying the individual, in all their idiosyncratic differences that make them distinguishable from others. These headshots have a blandifying effect of making the person look less like themselves the individual and more like a smoothed out, generic version of themselves.
This doesn't make any sense. Either the author of the article is confused, lying, or is drawing conclusions from source material that is untrue.

In the US case, there was a phone where data was encrypted at rest. Though Apple was capable of creating and signing a firmware update that would have made it easier for the FBI to brute force the password, Apple refused to do so.

In the Russian case, the FSB must have already had access to the suspect's phone because if it did not then Telegram would not be in any position to help at all.

So, the FSB must have already had access. And therefore, by having access to the phone they also had complete access to the suspect's chats in plaintext, regardless of whether or not the suspect used Telegram's private chat. There would have been no keys to ask Telegram for copies of.

Alternatively, the FSB might have had access to some other user's chats with the suspect, and wanted Telegram to turn over the suspect's full data. Telegram is 100% able to do that if they want to.
