Absolutely, yet they're still decades behind the capabilities that SK or Japan developed domestically over the past 20-30 years.

Germany is not in a position today to start a nuclear program, becuase any nuclear program can be viewed as causus belli for a conventional war, and Germany would not have the ability to develop credible secondary strike capabilities if such a war were to happen in the next 3-5 years.

In addition, Germany lacks a domestic civilian nuclear program due to denuclearization in the 2000s and 2010s - something which Japan or SK DID NOT do.

Imo, it will will take 7-12 years for Germany to reach a point where it's domestic space/ballistics industry is comparable to even Iran's today.

That said, that development and capital might be sped up if defense related opportunities with the KSA are enhanced, because it would provide a massive infusion of capital.

Also, nuclear weapons programs are expensive, and Germany can better use it's capital to build conventional warfighting capabilities that it severely lacks, while remaining assured of France or the UK's nuclear umbrella.

Germany should have started this spending spree 10-15 years ago (which is when most other regional powers like Japan, SK, KSA, UAE, India, Pakistan, etc began doing so), but better late than never.

Germany is severely lagging in dual use technology, and German civilians need to realize that (the leadership does recognize this and hence why a spree of defense manufacting deals with the KSA, UAE, and India began during the Scholz chancellorship). That is the only way Germany can actually build strategic autonomy.
Create incentives that managers will be responsible for a very long time for a system/product that they create; with barely any chance to get out of it. Give them a malus (opposite of "bonus"; except in rare exceptional cases) if they "project hop".

If a particular kind of "career managers" hate this system (and perhaps thus quit): great.
That is simply and obviously not true. See my example for math.sin above.

1Password truly doesn’t get enough credit for the choice to encrypt every vault with a high entropy secret key passed device to device. It surely costs them in UX and support load, but it would have made a breach like this essentially inconsequential.

Can you really complain about differences between compilers, when Rust basically has ONE compiler? You would most likely have differences if there were more Rust compilers out there. I mean, at least with C++ there are choices, and you can choose to just use one compiler like clang if the differences bother you.
Step one in the campaign is serving a malicious ad. Ad blocking helps keep us safe from crud like this.

A MLP must be compilable to some arrangement of logic gates, so you could always try a tack like initializing everything as randomly-wired/connected MLPs, and perhaps doing some pretraining, before compiling to the logic gate version and training the logic gates directly. Or take the MLP random initialization, and imitate its distributions as your logic gate distribution for initialization.
Bitcoin has never been hacked.

The victims did not practice proper key management. The victims got hacked because of their own insecure key management, not because of any vulnerability in Bitcoin.

To claim otherwise is like claiming that because people can steal improperly secured code signing or TLS certificate private keys, all code signing and TLS certificates are inherently, fundamentally, and automatically broken, which is really just a fundamental misunderstanding of cryptography 101.
This seems like the end of an era. While Pagerduty was always the most expensive, OpeGenie seemed like a good alternative for smaller teams.

But today's incident management needs to be a lot more than just paging.

I am a firm believer that if the web had working authoring support as originally planned in the proposal document[1] (phase 2), these early web building services wouldn't have been nearly as popular, or would have even been entirely unnecessary. The web would've grown in a distributed way with people having full control over the data they share. Centralized services might not have evolved into the commercial behemoths they are today. Social media platforms wouldn't exist as we know them, or possibly at all. ISPs would've been forced to offer symmetric connections from the start to meet the demand for home servers.

So I see this as an early mistake that snowballed into the cesspool that is the modern web. Things would've been very different, possibly for the better, if we had web publishing tools that were equally as user friendly as the web browser was in those early days.

The original WorldWideWeb browser released in 1991 did have support for WYSIWYG editing of documents, but was quickly overtaken by Mosaic, which was read-only. It would be interesting to know why this feature was abandoned and not iterated upon. The Wikipedia article[2] mentions this:

> The team [at CERN] created so called "passive browsers" which do not have the ability to edit because it was hard to port this feature from the NeXT system to other operating systems.

That could be a hint, but it doesn't explain why NCSA didn't implement it in Mosaic.

WebDAV came out a few years later in 1996, but it never really took off. It was seen more as an alternative to FTP, than a native web feature. Why did it fail? Why wasn't it adopted by web browsers? Konqueror seems to have been the only one.

Much later in 2009 Opera launched Unite, a web server inside the browser, which seemed really promising at the time. But it was also quickly discontinued. At that point it might've been too little, too late.

And now we have Web3 and the decentralized movement, and even TBL is trying to undo the damage with Solid. But I have little hope any of these projects will see mainstream adoption. The modern web has too much traction, and the average web user doesn't care enough about their data to change their habits, even if the tools were simple to use.

Anyway, this is possibly too tangential for a thread on GeoCities, but I'm curious if anyone here has more information about this early history of the web. I would love to know TBL's perspective about all of this.

You make a good point. It is always best to direct one's ire at the action rather than the person. On the other hand, while I always want to believe that people can change for the better, very few do. I do try to work on my character, but it is rather hard, and I know that I have lots of room for improvement. When people think they are very close to perfect, they often spend less time on introspection. -- It is easier to help a neurotic than someone with character disorder.

I think it's not even reptilian--it's cultural (assuming you're from the US) based in the American history of Puritanism and related strains of Christianity. There are a ton of human cultures that don't vilify nudity. Germany, for example, has a much more relaxed attitude toward nudity.
Depends, it's resolved at runtime, so there's no way to have truly "compile-time" static schema (unless you specify a schema upfront).
Across an application the penalty is normally 1-5%. Most business code benefits from the increased safety. Parsers are an exception, but the large attack surface sometimes makes it a good idea there too.

I'm a bit confused on how the LastPass hack enabled the loss of passwords. I assume it works the way that I understand 1Password to work which should mean this would still be very difficult to impossible to do. Can anyone explain what I'm wrong about in terms of how the password managers work or how LastPass works differently?

So the way that I understand 1Password to work is that the decryption key is split in two: the user's single password + a secret key. You need both to decrypt the vault. The secret key is, again according to my understanding, generated randomly and is like 128bits? Once 1Password generates it and sends it to you (maybe they don't even send it and it is generated locally, I don't know), they never see it again. Thus, even if your vault were stolen, the thieves would need to crack your password (very likely not that secure) but also the 128 bit secret key so you would have a minimum of 128bit security which seems fine?

What's different about LastPass? Were the secret keys stolen somehow too? Were the targets of the stolen vaults then hit with further attacks to extract the secret keys? Does LastPass not use a similar structure as 1Password? Or am I actually not as safe as I thought using 1Password?

My experience with it is that it's decent, but a "lowest-common denominator" solution. So you can write a few things agnostically, but once you need to write anything moderately complex, it gets a little annoying to work with. Also a lot of the backends aren't very performant (perhaps due to the translation/transpilation).

I think we've lost the context here. The point was that, compared to Russia, our media has much more freedom to break stories. But, I'll admit, I've never lived in Russia. I only work with friends that have (previously) lived there. In our discussions, it's never really been a question that the Kremlin has much more control over the media than US administrations (despite their best effort, otherwise).

Small animals can defeat large, powerful predators simply by being too prickly to bother with.

Russia is almost certainly not going to deploy nukes over Ukraine. The cost/benefit is just not there: they won't help take or hold territory, and they invite strategic retaliation from more actors than just Ukraine.

So. Putin's political position is not unassailable (remember how touch-and-go things were with Prigozhin? How hardly anyone stood up to him?). If holding Ukraine becomes genuinely untenable, he'll have to make some excuse to leave, or fall. It's even possible he'll die of old age or pneumonia and be replaced by a more reasonable psychopath.
> Moreover, panic!()’s are hiding even in the most innocious places like unwrap() and expect() calls

unwrap and expect aren't "innocuous places where panic is hiding". The whole point of unwrap and expects is that you're effectively saying "Hitting a None/Err here is impossible, so seeing them should be treated as a correctness error".

> What is the actual problem with onclick attribute?

It's a string, so it's basically eval(), and eval gets disabled for all kinds of legit reasons. It often gets disabled along with inline script tags, which shuts down a whole class of XSS attacks -- which maybe your code isn't vulnerable to, but who knows what some random third party markdown renderer might enable?

The alternative to on* attributes is addEventListener, which has also been a thing for decades.
Their (polars) FOSS solution isn't at all neuteured, imo that's a little bit of an unfair criticism. Yeah, they are trying to make their distributed query engine for-profit, but as a user of the single-node solution, I haven't been pressured at all to use their cloud solution.

LastPass does not use the secret key concept that 1Password uses, it only uses a key derived from your password. After the breach they rushed to increase the hash iterations [1] and added features to let enterprise admins set minimum iterations [2] but of course it was too late at that point.

Writing your own operator is a lot of complexity when what you want to do is deploy a package.

Via Yoke's AirTrafficController, it's easy to define a package as a CRD and its implementation (a program that takes the CR and outputs the desired underlying resources) and the AirTrafficController takes care of the rest.

You no longer need to think about reconciler loops, figuring out any orphaned state, etc.

Tolerance means little if it's about stuff that you have nothing but good or neutral opinions and feelings about.

The virtue of tolerance is accepting that which gives you unpleasant opinions or feelings. This is the kind of tolerance that actually takes meaningful effort to develop.

You're limiting tolerance to a form where it has little to no value.
I was under the impression that basically lastpass knew your password, 1password does not. Lastpass owned the whole key. With enterprise organizations though we can still reset a users password if they forget so 1password might “know” your password too. Maybe older versions or individual versions are more secure.
I think compsci people can appreciate R as a language itself, because it has really beautiful language features. I think programmers hate it, because it's so different and lispy, with features that they can't really appreciate when coming from a C-style OOP mindset.

LastPass understandably finds there to be no evidence linking the two. Uhm, OK.

But what's also hard to believe is that people storing millions of dollars of "collectables" would not change their passwords on at least a yearly basis.

I know that password rotation for its own sake is no longer best practice, but in this case it still seems quite prudent. No?

That’s fine. The problem is in the bits between your senses and the reptilian brain. When a kid screams for their iPad on a plane, the reptilian part of their brain is legitimately freaking out. You’re not going to ever shut that off. But the adults in their life should attempt to disconnect it from the stimulus.m
