Exactly this.

You don't have to look back to many decades to notice that older people were by and large in better health.

Survivor bias you say! Ok sure more people live longer now, but a lot of that has to do with injuries and acute illness being more survivable now than it was. What does the picture really look like when adjust for the people who did not die TB, Polio complications, serious infections, physical injury, etc. How does the chronic disease picture compare for the octogenarian cohort across decades then.

Which gets us back to red meat, alcohol use, cooking with tallow, smoked as means of preservation, salted as means of preservation, etc foods and lifestyles have been with us the entire time. it is a lot of virtuous things like eating our vegetables fresh out the garden not shipping in cold storage for days or weeks, physical exercise/labor, we have removed.

I have transacted a number of homes and land parcels, so while I am no insider to the real-estate biz I mostly understand the entities and relationships that exist at least in the non commercial space.

I can't understand why sellers would want this in the general case. Typically when you list a home or property you generally want to sell it as fast as possible. Narrow exception being you have not yet identified a new primary residence, even then most sellers will need the equity or be looking at bridge loan so you'd still be wanting to get the current listing under contract so you can understand what the cost and life time of the bridge loan are likely to be. Otherwise you are looking to get out because the long you own after you decide you no longer want to do, you're just being eaten by carry costs: fire insurance, liability (if it just a parcel), utilities, taxes, and maintenance. In summary you want to solicit the largest number of competing offers from the biggest pool potential buyers as quickly as possible.

You are already paying your seller's agent commission, they are supposed to be working for YOU, in what world again under the general case is hiding your listing from potential buyers even if only for a short time good for you?

Now imagine you are buyer, again you'll be paying commission, the agent should be working for you, in what world are better served if chose to limit the potential listings to match your with vs the whole of the market. Zilow is easy, if I was buying I'd scroll thru the listings on my phone and for sure if I saw something that looked good the agent hadn't matched me with I'd be ask why, and I'd want a decent explanation how come they did not include it..

I do realize there are unique properties which might you might want to market more selectively. A land parcel for example that is a good location but will require significant title and easement work before its accessible/buildable/farmable/whatever; sure you might shop that to only sophisticated buyers who understand the details, costs, and risks there because otherwise you're going to get a bunch of offers on paper with standard contingencies, that have you going - dude it is right here in the listing there is a utilities easement but the local power company will need their name added as user or have the easement made public; so already we don't have a contract can you read? You need a buyer who gets that they are going to have to probably bribe^H^H^H^H^H compensate the neighbors to add name to easement because they might figure it is nicer if nobody builds anything there, on the other hand they might consider the improvement to the value of their own property should the question of getting power if desired be removed, but someone has to do the organizing work of getting all the parties to act.

Similarly buildings that are 'historic' and such again you might want to qualify the buyers.

The issue is Microsoft has their own people who have mission and authority similar to CISA but scoped to the organization as do many of the other institutions I see making this class of error.

It isn't that institutionally they don't know better, or even individually they don't know better, it is an operationalization problem and there simply exists to much pressure in terms of time time to be sloppy with a credential, coupled with the near certain knowledge that even if that sloppiness is process or policy violation it is sure to go unnoticed or at least unpunished unless something bad happens and even then it still might not carry much in the way of personal consequences.

Fundamentally SaaS/PaaS/Cloud security is far to reliant on not just everyone knowing what they are supposed to do, but actually doing it dependably and consistently everyitme. It simply does not work at scale.

Zero-trust just isn't a very good model over all because it makes everything about identity and discretionary access management, and people are just not that good at identity management. They are better about DAC, but even then there is a lot of templatation to just say sure give'em repo access.

That is going to be the practical result here.

Some code will get released, it will be most vanilla foss projects + a driver or two. You might even be able to build it but your won't be able to sign or run it. Version next will ship some generic kernel module, that provides some ioctl hooks or something and they'll move the drivers into use space, so they don't have to share those either.

Maybe if consumers are lucky there will be some groups of discontinued models where thanks to some signature checking flaw it is possible to monkey with the software without destructive or likely to be destructive hardware modining, and you'll have a scene like when people were running around hunting for v1 - wrt54G accesspoints.. for a some years, but as a practical matter not very many people will get anything valuable.

TIVO-isation is a problem manufactures have pretty well solved. I have to say Linus's unwillingness to try to migrate mainline Linux to GPL-3 has really hurt consumers. It was probably the one project with enough technical weight to have forced some hands, but it also probably would mean a lot less Linux out there today as well.

maybe partly, but the reality I know as someone who reads a lot of penetration testing reports, is big supposedly mature organizations end up putting useful credentials (as in not just some QA mock enviornment nobody cares about in CI/CD stuff) in their git commits, all the freaking time.

Cloud security is a s*** show a lot of places, even places with mostly capable people, it only takes one idiot or one careless person to really mess things up badly. That is the problem with PaaS/SaaS model generally.

Except it absolutely is Embrace-Extend...

It is embrace Linux, just so long as your are running it on their compute...It is extend Linux,they have already used their influence to stuff all manor of rather cloud-specific tooling into systemd, and successfully crammed that stack down on the broader community.

Finally it is extinguish in the software freedom sense the GNU side of GNU/Linux always cared about. Unless your are like beyond careful about every component you use, every bit of tooling you chose, and every other architecture decision you make the odds of anyone not a large enterprise being able to shift their application from Azure to some other cloud or their own compute/hosting is low. If you really do go the truly cloud agnostic route, you'll be giving up a lot of the value add features of the platform and paying a higher bill at the same time.

I don't disagree but the problem is identifying when we jumped the shark. Which I think happened damn near 100 years ago now when the SCOTUS blinked and let a lot of the New Deal happen.

We have now gone so long without 'keeping up with Amendments' in terms of actually enabling the Federal government to do so much of what American's of all political stripes currently view as good/necessary/appropriate it is really difficult to take "Textualism" to the logical destination it really ought to be taken. The 'soft textualism' we get from current conservative wing of the court is probably the best we can really hope for.

If you really for example did a legitimate read of the 9th and 10th amendments, probably half or more of Federal laws are unconstitutional or at least could not be applied to 90% of the instances they are. It would break our society...

This is real problem people who immediately shut down conversations around national divorce, or moving toward greater State level sovereignty as in letting people start thinking of themselves more as "Virginians, Floridians, New Yorkers", etc rather than "Americans" can't accept. We let a 80 years of sloth and neglect pass by as far rigorously applying the Constitution and using the Amendment process for real rather than feel good issues like Senate elections, and as far as keeping the American experiment on course, I am not sure you can get there from here now.

Let's break this down. Setting aside your particular moral views on any of the issues you just mentioned, you basically said people should ignore issues of morality and vote based on what is good for them economically. This is what a lot of mean when we say the political left are not 'good people'. It isnt even about any specific position what it comes down to is you really don't care or value 'goodness' it is ONLY about what you get personally in terms of wealth and security, and ideally in your minds at the expense of everyone else.

If we listened you rsilvergun, chattel slavery would still be a feature of the American economy. You'll deny it of course, and you'll agree salvery is bad but only because parroting some accepted social/moral position is means to end. The entire moral panic is a project too, I mean seriously WTF do think the act of calling everyone who disagrees with you bigots, Nazi's, etc is?

Face it when you look deep in side and ask the hard questions of yourself, you'll find you're really terrible person as are the people you defend and support politically.

"Computer brief me on $subject" is very cool, at least if you had some degree of faith in correctness.

Briefings are by definition going to contain some over simplifications. Something like Marketplace's "Make me smart" is probably a good format for audio to be consumed while doing something physical driving, laundry, splitting logs, cutting the lawn etc..

They patched it rapidly only to have a very similar vulnerability affecting the very same components drop like a day later.

Arguably the patching effort lacked real analysis, that should have been triggered, and got pushed out with the first obvious fix applied. On the other hand leaving users with only the option to implement a workaround that disables ipsec while a full fix is investigated, is also a problem...

I am not criticizing anyone here, disclosure vs time to patch, and regression avoidance in complex software systems is a difficult problem. While it speaks to things like code quality and security priority, I don't think when it comes to large software projects you can really charaterize either of those things with a methodolgy that amounts SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cve WHERE project = ....

What rubbish.

You must be one of those uneducated because in terms of most of things you mention there kids today have it better than almost all children throughout history, with possibly the narrow exception of those of us lucky enough to be born between the end of WWII and maybe 2001 in the USA anyway.

For anything you wrote there to be sensible we'd have to assume that the above cohort is the only mentally health group of children in most of history.. LOL

There are stupid posts, and there are rsilvergun stupid posts, this is one of the latter an amazingly it isnt even an rsilvergun post...

Even if true - irrelevant.

Why because even in the most affluent districts we still see a long term decline in academic performance. The only conclusion that can be support is driver of our education problems is not 'spending'

This complete bullshit. I have multiple teachers in the family. First through third year teachers work a lot. After that you mostly just refresh stuff a little bit at a time.

As to your whole Vietnam fairy tail also nonsense, but cause it completely neglects the demand side of the equation. It is not like any little town or burg anywhere just build some more schools and added classrooms because there was glut of teachers on the market. Honestly the stuff you post here, is fucking retarded dude, it does not pass even the basic smell test, let alone 10 seconds of google research anyone can do because they are already accessing a website.

So now we return to teacher pay... No you won't get rich, but you get incredible job security, summers off, and PTO during the year, generally solid benefits, and also a very average salary on an hourly basis using actual school days + required in service days. Is that a compensation structure that is ideal for every house hold, possibly not, but that is NOT the same saying they are under paid, in terms of career and time investment vs market value of total compensation.

That and this

We took away accountability because it hurt little Johny's "feels" and Shaikwa moaned it was 'racist'

Which a really good documentary might, simply offer the statement or some analysis to the effect that John and Yoko where conceptual artists and not everything they record offered great insights, but we can take a listen anyway to perhaps gain some insight into their process.... During which for visuals you don't then need to try and represent the conversation, you probably just show them and what their surroundings might have been at the time.

I don't know I have heard the subject materials either but at least on the surface here it seems like perhaps the wrong problem is being solved here. He notes he ran out of money. So was the real problem that he ran of actually interesting material he could produce on his budget said "i have stretch this thing out another 20min here, lets just play this old tape of some conversation that did not really go any place and does not add anything but hey it will run the clock, if play the melody of Imagine in the background his fans will watch anything" which then lead us to "ok now what can I put on the screen to while I play this"
