The military-industrial complex is a consequence of privatization. Since the defense industry is 100% private, capitalistic corps with 1 customer, they have no reason to innovate or compete on prices. They can, and do, extort the government for as much money as humanly possible.

That wouldn't be possible if those entities were simply nationalized. But since the gov is a customer, and them a producer, and the gov NEEDS the thing, and only the private sector can give the thing, it's a money bath.

Of course it's really full circle, because while the industry is private it's actually funded entirely by taxpayers. Because the customer is the government. So the corps have a strong incentive to be as inefficient and greedy as possible, and you actually pay for that.
I would be happy if electronics companies started offering more dense circuits printed on film instead of thick 1mm PCB. There's too much volume wasted on tracks, that could be reduced layering discrete components and there is film that can isolate the heat.

This is meant to show that the housing can be made of wood, but the antennae and electronics still require mounting points via metal or plastic fasteners. The article gives a few reasons why this might be valuable, eg fewer toxins released during burnup, but I see this as an experiment in alternative manufacturing techniques, to see what we might be missing when we assume things like this need to be made out of metal and bolts.

I want to take this essay seriously.

One major weakness of consequentialist ethics is that ethical actions require a non-trivial amount predictive power from agents:

Should we spoil our pants to save a drowning child? Sure. Should we wire a significant amount of money to a Nigerian prince who has informed us that he is setting up an organization to save drowning children? Probably not. Would we save baby Hitler? How could we ever accurately predict that a child will become Hitler?

The interplay between prediction accuracy here is tough when it comes to giving money to homeless folks. It's entirely possible that giving money can do harm, but in other cases it could also benefit. This indeterminacy is a huge problem for consequentialists (I am one), and creating a reasonable discount rate for lack of knowledge about outcomes generated is a very important part of creating a consequentialist ethical theory. Dealing with general rules for difficult-to-predict decisions is the realm of deontology, not consequentialism.

"A pension is easier for people who are bad at money"

I am pretty sure you did not mean it this way, but you're absolutely right.

The pensions that were granted in the 50s and 60s and not funded have left an enormous debt for many companies that the federal government will have to make good.

Even today, the pensions of many police and firemen are underwater and not likely to be solvent.

So pensions are great for company managers who really don't ever plan to fund them properly.

And don't get me started on social security.

ActBlue Isn't Selling Your Data
If you allow people to go directly to you for support rather than the official support channels, they will simply learn that they can get what they want by shortcutting directly to the engineer. Maybe this is fine once, but they will continue to monopolize your time if you allow them to.

Instead of writing the ticket for everybody who asks for your help, instead create a more realtime channel for reporting problems in a less formalized way, but in public. At work, all of our users are internal so we have a #troubleshooting channel. Whenever there are problems, they can go there and ask for help. We have a triage guy whose job it is to reply to these messages and create tickets as necessary but anybody can reply if they think they can help quickly enough. I try to have all conversations in public if I can, because it lets others jump in to help and also creates a record of the steps taken to solve the problem
>Hard drives don't require an ultra-expensive tape drive to use

I bought an LTO 5 tape drive for $150. Do you really think that's "ultra expensive"? I do not. In fact I purchased 3 more LTO 5 drives for another $150 (I got lucky on that deal). These are all used datacenter hardware, tons of them on eBay now. The price is really not what you might be thinking it is.

> plus a computer somehow capable of actually holding and connecting to that drive

I have lots of computers, my backup computer is an old server of mine which is still very capable. It's just an old i5 computer, gaming motherboard, 16GB RAM but it can sustain 140MB/s write speed to the tapes. Good luck getting that sustained write speed on a refurb hard drive.

>they have SAS interfaces, so you need a computer with a SAS HBA just to install the thing

Yes, it cost me a total of $30, again from eBay. Not too expensive at all. I have purchased about 6 SAS cards from eBay for various computers (I have 3 RAID10 setups), none have failed, all have been very reliable, and they are all very inexpensive and easy to install.

> and you only find those on server-grade hardware.

You find them all over eBay for cheap. I installed these SAS cards in "gaming" motherboards. No, you do not need specialized "server-grade hardware" to install them into.

>You're not going to plug one of these things into your laptop.

Duh, laptops are for portability. If all you have is one single laptop you probably aren't doing anything serious anyway, and likely have no need for massive amounts of storage. I have desktops, servers, and laptops, and I use them all appropriately.

>A typical SATA HDD, by contrast, can be connected to any common consumer-grade motherboard, or you can just get a USB HDD dock if you really need to.

That's great, but it's still 2x more expensive per TB to hoard hundreds of TB of data. And hard drives do not have a write-protect notch, so as soon as you connect any hard drive to a compromised computer (whether you know it's compromised or not) you compromise the backup too.

Tapes were made for off-line long-term storage, hard drives were not. I have plenty of hard drives, but I know what they are for and I use them appropriately. I also know what tapes are for, and my life as a datahoarder has been far better (and more affordable) since I got the tape drives.

I don't think you got the point.

The whole point is that you only need to connect your local deployment to services that are up and running. There is absolutely no need to launch a set of ad-hoc self-contained services to run a service locally and work on it. That is the whole point.
I get where you’re coming from (so ridiculous…) but I would put too much stock into the various kinds of republics.

At the very least you can do what India did and stay in the Commonwealth for economic/geopolitical signaling reasons, but declare sovereignty from the crown itself.

EDIT: and tbh you still got em lurking. AFAICT the monarch has the power to dissolve parliament at any time and start new elections, and could exercise the power of veto?

The Constitution Act 1986 is the principal formal statement. The Act first recognises that the Queen - the Sovereign in right of New Zealand - is the Head of State of New Zealand and that the Governor-General appointed by her is her representative in New Zealand. Each can in general exercise all the powers of the other…
The Governor-General has the power to summon, prorogue and dissolve parliament… a Bill passed by the House becomes law when the Sovereign or Governor-General assents to it.

There’s always the chance that trying this in practice would lead to an uprising, but as the US has recently taught us, polite conventions are a weak foundation for a democracy… imagine what a conspiracy theorist monarch could do if they worked with domestic fringe politicians!

EDC's Research: Developers in Politics Survey Report
I am not an expert, I read this in the report:
The long-term zinc creep failure of the Arecibo Telescope sockets and the subsequent cable pullout has never been documented elsewhere despite a century of zinc-filled cable spelter sockets use. 17 The type, size, length, and fittings of the cables used in the Arecibo Telescope (whether the original cables constructed in the 1960s or the auxiliary cables installed in the 1990s) were catalog-selected items, not at all unusual, with decades of proven performance. Exten-sive structural modeling of the Arecibo Telescope, independently confirmed by laser cable sag surveys, validated that under all static and cyclic loading conditions, the cable loads barely exceed half the nominal cable strength. While PLC can occur at stresses well below yield, such a creep failure has never been reported in spelter socket zinc.

The only way politicians have the power over dismantling alternative forms of transportation is if the government has any control over building and maintaining transportation infrastructure, idk something like a Department of Transportation. Same goes for agriculture, finance, labor, healthcare… When we provide the government with these powers, it is within the self interest of corporations to control the politicians. If the politicians have no power to change these things, there is no use in corporations bribing them.

What makes a docker container not a "real machine"? Docker programs are running natively, just like any other program, without emulation/virtualization. Its not like a virtual machine (unless you're on one of the lesser operating systems like Windows or OSX), its just configuring some settings in the Linux kernel to isolate the process from other processes. Its basically just an enhanced chroot.
From the article:

> I had found a way to obtain a privileged access token within the environment (a story for another day, but a certain game's executable had hardcoded credentials!), but I wasn't sure what I could do with it.

Can someone speak to this a bit more? I'm under the impression an executable binary shouldn't be easily read to find such credentials, and I don't know what else a game dev is supposed to do if their executable needs to authenticate itself with a remote server.
I generally think this "playing dumb" argument companies sometimes employ doesn't fly (or, at least, shouldn't).

You don't have to be a genius to figure out that hiring fully remote means you will get workers all over the US. The executives knew that, were counting on that, and have benefited a lot from that. I don't think you should be able to get away with an "erm, akshually" level technicality.

I'm surprised it's only half. It seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There is constant rhetoric that the other side is evil. Often, that rhetoric goes to the very top.

Either that rhetoric is correct, in which case the other side is evil, or the rhetoric is incorrect, in which case your own side is evil (for promulgating and tolerating such a horrific and false accusation).

So at least one side must actually be evil. Maybe both, but certainly one.

I know that I've been accused of evil, quite often. That seems a pretty vicious and utterly unjustified accusation -- which I consider evil. So either I'm evil, or they are.

This argument isn't airtight, of course. I would expect people to reject the premises, or even if they do, not follow it to the conclusion I reach.

Still... once it reaches nearly half of everybody, I'd expect it to increase just under its own weight.
On a team you are emotionally (or maybe even just financially) invested in it feels bad, but when I was at EA they almost worked hard to make it hard to become emotionally invested.

At a company the size of EA almost certainly this will be used to play politics and even if it hurts the company as a whole people will use it to have larger control over the now smaller company.

Not only would it be more interesting, but it would probably answer the practical question of whether efficient NP-solvers exist—in the negative. An independence proof boils down to, “it depends on these highly abstract axioms pertaining to massive infinite sets.” So an independence proof would mean some model of mathematics exists where a polynomial-time NP-solver exists, but the lack of one within ordinary mathematics (which is the model-independent day-to-day stuff) could make it impractical in ways that are hard to imagine, since the mathematics leading to such a proof doesn’t seem to exist.

That metaphor doesn't seem directly applicable to cutting off cloud access.

If we're trying for a metaphor that would be a similar situation pre-digitization, the cloud servers containing business documents could be considered head office, and the office being raided would be the branch office. The branch office would continually be communicating with head office for their operations, and that communication would be shut down during the raid.

This isn't a great metaphor because the "head office" has become sort of stateless and ephemeral with digitization, but that's part of the interesting question the OP was posing, how does law enforcement collect evidence when that evidence is hosted on cloud servers in nebulous datacenters?

The data uses a relative comparison of migrant deaths to overall death rate for Saudi Arabia. You are looking for something to console you that "actually the slaves aren't dying at high rates". I'd like to see this death rate for the subset of the SA population that matches migrant demographics, ex: age and gender. Then we can see what the comparable death rates are for healthy young men.

> Boeing management and shareholder comp crippled the org on its own just fine

Don’t get me wrong, I think the private equity model of financially oriented management is a problem. Employees and unions do share blame though. Remember, an IAM worker forgot bolts on the door plug. And SPEEA workers (the other union) designed MCAS poorly and didn’t build redundancy on dirt cheap sensors where there was no reason to avoid it. Boeing’s floor is inefficient and a shock to anyone who works with Boeing, due to union territorial issues and frankly a lazy culture. All these things have contributed significantly to Boeing’s decline, in addition to bad leadership.
