It’s not exactly “voluntary” when the socio-economic system is designed to leave a large portion of the population with military enlistment as the only fiscally safe means of obtaining a higher education, which is the only route to gainful employment, which is the only path out of abject poverty.

Make higher education free for everyone and then let’s see how many high quality volunteers we get for the armed forces.

Yeah that’s my big takeaway here: If the people who are rolling out this technology cannot make these assurances then the technology has no right to exist.

“Instantly” on a geological scale 🙃

I imagine the number goes up considerably when you account for showering, washing clothes and dishes, and water used while cooking. It would go up even more if you account for the water used to produce the food consumed by the individual.

I’m sure you’re on the shop floor for every one of those conversations.

But anyway, enjoy being confidently incorrect: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-safety/tesla-driver-monitoring-fails-to-keep-driver-focus-on-road-a3964813328/

Weird how this notion of “personal responsibility” applies to every person except for those people who choose to intentionally misrepresenting the product by branding it in ways that are misleading. The people running this company aren’t responsible for their role in misleading the public, just because the fine print happens to indicate that the product isn’t actually what it’s marketed as?

Now you’ll probably say something to the effect of “I never said that! You’re putting words in my mouth!” except what other motivation can you have to jump to the defense of the liar and blame people for being misled, except that you want to put all the responsibility on individuals for being misled and not on the company that is systematically and intentionally misleading them? Maybe you just manage to derive a smug sense of superiority thinking of yourself as someone who is invulnerable to this kind of tactic so blaming the victims lets you feel good about yourself.

I’m disappointed to learn that she was born British so she can never run for president in America.

… Not that the FTC chair is known to be a pipeline to the presidency, but I’m ready to turn over every stone at this point.

Surprise surprise, the congressman is literally a defense contractor. I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of innocent souls are hanging over his head.

The stakes for young people to vote have never been higher but I think too many of them are suffering from brain rot engineered by social media.

Life insurance premiums are about to skyrocket for Boeing whistleblowers.

Sounds like there are going to be a lot of machines running a fresh install of Linux next year. Microsoft really does ♥️ Linux.

I think it’s bizarre to make this big of a deal out of it. It’s such a useless hill to die on, and not actually sound logic to assume that a minor use of vulgar language invalidates everything surrounding it.

The fact that you’re still going on about this just makes you a curious sociological phenomenon rather than the paragon of virtue that you seem to think you are.

I’m pretty sure getting very worked up over someone using the word “asshat” is actually more likely to be something a literal child would do than using the word “asshat”. Take that for whatever it’s worth.

Wow you’ve deadlocked yourself, congratulations. I wonder who the real child is here 🤔

You must not know much about Ken Paxton. Calling him an utter asshat is generous.

Not as bad as metamates. It’s amazing how much money is accumulated by people who are so far removed from basic human sensibilities. I don’t know if the money makes them detached or if their detachment is somehow a key to them making so much money.

The only thing Bolton didn’t like about Trump was that Trump hesitated to kick off WW3 in his first term.

Except it’s actually an “Every language and library that provides this feature” problem because literally no one was aware that this sanitization problem even existed, and Rust is among the first to actually fix it.

The entire problem with cmd.exe was not known and so obviously not documented when the Rust standard library developers were implementing the API, and the same goes for the standard library developers of every other language. Rust was among the first to fix this problem in their API, with many other languages opting to just document the issues instead of actually protecting users from it.

To take all this information and distill it down to trumpeting “Rust has a CVSS level 10 security vulnerability!!” without context is stupidity at best and maliciously disingenuous at worst.

Nitpicking whether the statement can be construed as true within a certain framing just demonstrates malicious intent when the reality is that users of Go, Python, and Java, whose standard libraries have taken a position of Won’t Fix, are in a FAR more dangerous position than Rust users who are actually in the safest position of anyone in any language ecosystem besides perhaps Haskell.

Because this is the status of the bug across the standard libraries of various languages, per this article and others:

• Erlang (documentation update)
• Go (documentation update)
• Haskell (patch available)
• Java (won’t fix)
• Node.js (patch will be available)
• PHP (patch will be available)
• Python (documentation update)
• Ruby (documentation update)

Notably C and C++ are missing from this list because their standard libraries don’t even offer this capability. Half of these standard libraries are responding to the issue by just warning you about it in the function documentation. Rust is one of the few that actually prevents the attack from happening.

The original BatBadBut bug report used JavaScript to illustrate the vulnerability.
