Clearly not, but this is a circular argument. As companies expand in size they naturally increase both their needs and their resources.

Are you arguing that using SaaS developer tools like the ones in this journal entry consumes a greater proportion of engineers' capacity than self-hosting does, and that this cost difference becomes proportionally greater as a company grows? If you're right, perhaps some cloud-based startups and also larger businesses will be eaten up by more nimble, efficient self-hosted competitors.

(I work for a cloud host)

Try "Chief executives and legislators"

You're not alone with this specific gripe. Some of my colleagues include sites similar to https://nohello.net in their staff directory page.

While this may be a serious problem it doesn't actually seem relevant to this breach - if a CRA has an incident of this severity, most ID schemes are still going to end up with a pretty large leak of PII that can be traced back to the individuals involved.

The blog post and cloud provider's website both say the servers are bare metal.

If they were personalised it would be hard for sites like camelcamelcamel.com to exist, right? I would speculate that they don't personalise. Offering price discrimination as a service to third party sellers sounds like a minefield too.

Running a few product lines at a loss is a classic way for a large company to put competitors out of business, in general terms. Once the competition is gone there maybe an opportunity for the remaining company to raise prices quite a lot.

This is happening inside cities though. I'll take some arrogance and selfishness to reduce the incidence of dengue.

Didn't know much about this conflict, thank you for educating me. One other difference between those combatants and a theoretically nuclear armed Ukraine is that that war is more widely seem as an existential threat to an independent Ukraine. Kashmir political disagreement seems to rest on somewhat more limited territorial claims versus the desire of one party to post its military inside the other as well as to exert widespread political influence.

> The conflict was low intensity warfare, which nukes are not particularly well suited for.

Firstly "was" is not the right word, the war is ongoing: http://tass.com/world/965974

Secondly, imo the nature of the conflict is less important than whether a concentrated population of the adversary's citizens are within range of the weapon as far as determining the effectiveness of nuclear deterrent.

> Even if Ukraine had nukes, would it have threatened and actually have the will to use it over the lost of the Crimea?

Would those that made the decision to invade have accepted the risk of even the most minute possibility? No leader has done that so far.

One could even go as far as calling the title clickbait.

Doesn't this assume maintaining existing usage patterns? There could be enough flexibility in workloads that with an economic incentive they will be run at peak production times with only the necessities being turned on at other times.

As Brian Krebs reported in the "dumpster fire" article the response site was setup by their PR company. Perhaps they did not want to give away ownership of part of their domain... For security reasons

Maybe. The separate domain might be explained by lack of trust in their PR company though. See Krebs' article: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/09/equifax-breach-response-...

Some sites are buggy with this preference. Hopefully you will not lay that at Mozilla's feet.

If you release your tools under GPL it is less likely anyone will get paid to improve them. If you release under MIT, commercial users will try to upstream their changes so they can continue to benefit from trunk development as well as avoid the maintenance burden.

Your second paragraph makes it seem like those weren't really humans - "cleared out", really? And having been decimated by plague diseases makes shooting the survivors equivalent to crossing a border illegally so you can work a better job? Maybe my knowledge of American history and politics is poor but those do not seem like the same thing at all.

Might be interesting to look at the study itself. It doesn't say if it was summer or winter when it was undertaken. I wonder if results would be much different for other non-electrified people

Depending on who you are pitching, it might turn out something like http://getcoleman.com/

I don't know if there should be more or less credit, although it sure seems like an improvement to reduce fraud and have less people up to their ears in debt.

Even if the companies running the system have serious problems, it still provides a mechanism of trust. Most people are likely to experience at least one event in their life, for example an unexpected expense or some long term investment, which would easier to navigate if credit were available.

Replacing the credit score system with the subjective judgement of a creditor introduces arbitrary, discriminatory bias into the system.

If credit is a competitive advantage then isn't hurting its fair availability is somewhat an own goal as long as the USA remains part of a global economy?

Could argue that industries with low startup costs are much less likely to suffer a proliferation of Apache Struts. Increased competitive pressure to improve an information product might bring the side effect of more modern technology, but who knows the overall impact it would have on security.

And a big fuck you to everybody that has made efforts and sacrifices to improve their credit rating, they can take the same (higher) interest rate as everyone else?

> If there's a history of these execs selling similar amounts of stock in other quarters

That's what 105b-1 trading plans are for. If they had used them there would be no questions to ask.

Not to mention the captive portal redirect URL

For Google to collect data on their platform customers' layer 7 traffic would be a pretty big breach of trust (i .e. hacking if they were using HTTPS) If they are just collecting TCP data and selling it to third party marketers or building analytics profiles it would be a lot of work to reliably connect that to humans for little benefit, along with risk to their reputation.

> Starcraft is a continuous game and the game state is not 100% known at any given time.

It seems to me that multiplayer games may feel continuous to a human player but are still designed around a series of discrete states called ticks where each tick is determined from the previous state plus inputs.

Why is this distinction made in the context of how difficult it is to develop an AI?

What is there about entertainment systems that can't be tested on the ground?

If I were scoping targets for burglary, I'd perhaps look for signs of assets worth stealing instead, but maybe just a sign of my inexperience

Interestingly, Blackbird has a patent portfolio that is not exclusive to software, although Cloudflare intends to invalidate them all.

No frills?? Dual SIM and TWO keypads!
