The OP Hudson Rock writes something that I understand is saying: This was more than a breach of one customer's credentials, they got some employee creds and they weren't protected by 2 factor so they got into other customer accounts using that engineer's creds.

The snowflake writeup reads to me as if a customer's account creds got compromised - and it implied to me that was the end of it, no central or other account access on thoes creds. Nothing about this use of some employee account info that didn't have 2 factor auth on it.

1. I'm sure snowflake wants all access creds of any kind for their internal employees to use 2fa.

2. It used to be at least as a customer you could create a name/password without 2fa to log in to your own info there if you wanted to, like say as a customer you create a db or table and want to access it.

That's just such an example of how it works. "Our employees are in high cost of living areas, missing earnings will be demoralizing". If you worked in a large corp for a while, you notice this happening. Everyone is incentivized to hit short term goals.

That's terrible. Everyone's experience varies, my Pixel 3A has been great, no problems, no noticeable scratches. The killer feature of the 3A for me has been ability to take night time sky photos and show something. I got a usable picture of the comet.

I really don't want to ever buy a phone without a headphone jack. At least the 4A still has one. Only reason to buy a 4A now would be to get 128 gig storage.

It's incredibly stupid to drop them and yet here we are, with only a few phones with headphone jacks.

There's a lot more going on that pseudo glorification of slavery and plantation life. It's pushing the mythos of that life, how the black people behaved like children, there were many hollywood movies of the time that perpetuated those stereotypes. The story of the maid and her reactions and behavior, like she wasn't quite an adult or real person.

I think working in the financialization industry is a form of destructive waste. That's the gist of the idea. But that judgement is a very subjective thing, because why is my software helping society any better? I'm making new and better ways to program robots. Sooo, could better autonomous systems lead to job loss? Potentially, sure.

Yeah, why not, post away.

The per year deficit greatly increased though during that time. we reduced taxes, the economy grew a little more but the deficit really increased. the net is we borrowed from the future to make those tax cut (cause we'll have to back back the extra deficit over time).

There are a lot of different jobs. Some of them are easier to get when you are starting. Some jobs take some background to get you in the door. But there are a vast number of companies and different jobs. Figure out what you are interested in, look at job boards and apply. The monthly hacker news job thread lets you look for jobs in certain locations, easily in the browser.

I don't get your question. But that is a roadster, not an S or later. But it presumably doesn't mention intermediate capacitors because they don't use them.

Well I think you can compare, but with caveat you have to compare amount of testing, and various other situations. I only see people who say "you can't compare" to be those who want to minimize their own problems. It's endemic to the US where multiple states have been caught reducing the numbers, firing the people who organize them and prohibiting them from talking about it.

If I understand your description, you reset your account. They delete the messages for safety when you reset. An attacker could reset by getting ahold of your phone number by sim jacking or the govt getting your text. It's a safety method so no one can take you texts. Of course many people want to carry their texts along, but this is a safety risk if you lost control over your number. So that's what signal is doing. If I recall when I had to reset my own number they did say they were deleting my old messages.

You don't need ultracapacitors, regular ordinary teslas starting with the 2012 model S have had this. It's not quite a decade old.

This weird claim that evs don't work out in practice because they can't regen is just the latest example of FUD or extreme misunderstanding of the market. Just like people said it was impossible to make a compelling ev, that you could never go a long way, that you could never charge it fast, this latest claim is just silly. Teslas since 2012 (S and later) have had great recharging ability when slowing down. It's not 100%, nothing can be.

This is not accurate about regen technology. Teslas have been having significant regen since their first model s in 2012. What does "not good enough mean"? You don't have to do anything really, you just drive, when you slow down you can have the car do more aggressive regen or less aggressive. Less aggressive gets you less charging. I've had mine on more aggressive charging for 8 years (wow, has it been that long since I got my S?). I actually traded in my first one for the awd model so I could take it to the ski area so my car is 5 years old, 3 years in the first one. Yeah yeah, first world problems, but the take away is regen works great, almost a million people are using it every day they drive (I used to use it every day, but mostly sit at home now).

The net effect was that the death rate was vastly higher in Sweden than their northern Scandinavian neighbors. Over 4000 deaths more based on population size. Not having more aggressive stay at home policies doomed thousands more people to die than were likely if you had followed policies of your neighbors. Sweden has now joined the ranks of the worst performing countries in Europe based on death rate. The UK, France, Spain, and Sweden.

Here's the opportunity Sweden missed: The disease had an early outbreak in those other countries, it was already raging before the countries shutdown (Spain and Italy were overwhelmed). But as we saw in Finland, Norway etc, if it wasn't raging, by shutting down you could tremendously reduce the infections. I know Sweden tried to protect elderly in sr citizen homes as we call them in the US, but you failed. People could still go out to bars and restaurants, your economy was somewhat more functional that other countries, at the cost of currently 3-4k extra deaths.

It's a terrible situation, but in my opinion the wrong one.

The comparisons aren't meaningless, cause they are very similar. People who want to defend Sweden don't like how terrible Sweden looks. Because of idealogical reasons around locking down a lot of people want Sweden's strategy to work, and they torture themselves into weak arguments to justify killing a lot more people. If you can't compare them for some reason, then you basically can't do any comparisons because you ruled out their nearest neighbors.
