All I knew about Bari Weiss unitl this was that she's kinda "anti left" in the sense that she's against "woke" stuff (whatever the hell that is) and spends time criticizing Dems and left-leaning folks. And that she knows F-all about teevee. it could have been like Linda Elerbee's story of how she was hired for TV new after losing her job as a journalist. When offered the job, she told the company she knew nothing about television. "They told me how much I would get paid. I told them I believed I could learn television."
They have become part of the rwnj propaganda machine. No secrets there. The wealthy want complete control of everything. Clearly they didn't get the memo that mainstream media is on it's last leg and they helped end it. Guess they need a new loss on their taxes.
Assorted quick reactions to that podvid that I want to listen to later:
- Thank you, Bothsidestimes, for letting me finally see what Lulu looks like after years of hearing her on Weekend Edition.
- One way you know the new boss isn't the same as the old boss is that Scott could DO that interview. I'm sure Bari* Vice is passing out NDAs all over the place now.
- * And we inevitably pronounce her first name "BARR-ree" like Noho Hank did when addressing Bill Hader's titular method actor/serial killer character. I like to think of him throwing a submarine sandwich at her before shooting.
- The lead-in with the quick hits of the legendary ticktick anchors, the dead ones now spinning in their graves to run the turbines powering Black Rock, reminded me of an old New Yorker cartoon I sadly cannot find. It was captioned "A Man with a Clear Conscience." A business executive (old, white, male) at his desk, approached by secretary (sweet, young, thing):
Woke up at the crack of dawn with a terrible gut ache. It's better, but not much. And now I have a cat out in the rain who won't come back in. (He's safe, they never leave the yard, but still...)
I'm working in US heathcare. We've fucking white labeled some apps to some fucking giant company, Medtronic.
They really want the diabetes one. It's a good fucking app.
So we deliver on android and iphone. Nice branding and shit for these tossers.
They start whining about our fucking android app.
Now, here's today. Mkt cap 103.03B
We turn over about 8M on a good year. We know this fucking app works. Otherwise, well, we'd fucking know.
They're whining though. It crashes. Sometimes. Hangs. Just stops working. Not always. Not always on startup, but it'll just stop working.
These are the worst fucking bugs. If you have something consistent you can diagnose it. We spend two weeks fucking diagnosing our app. I get fed up. I think it's them. I don't know why yet, but it's only happening when it's whitelisted to them.
Right, motherfuckers. Let me hit your fucking backend. I know you're using IIS because you're bellends.
Req 1. Fine. Req 2. Fine. Req 3. Fine. Req 4 .... wait is that a truncated certificate chain? Req 5. Fine.
Certificate chaining is how https works. You need a proper chain of certificate authorities. Most things cache the intermediaries. iphone does. Most browsers do. Edge does.
Android doesn't. Android wants the full fucking chain every time or it barfs and tells you to fuck off.
So Medtronic have multiple servers serving the app. One of them is misconfigured to not serve the entire cert chain.
Which broke our app. It's not us. It's you. And I'm going to tell you the IP address of the server which is misconfigured and tell you the exact little checkbox to click to make it work again.
Tiny tiny company tells $100Bn company where they fucked up and why.
IIS as a back end? WTF? Did we time travel back to 2002? And the Android SSL lib must suck donkey balls. At LEAST Apple does the security shit properly. Hate on them all you want, but IOS crypto libs are rock solid.
It's frightening how many people still use IIS. This was 2017.
The Android stack is solid, man, I'm not going to shit on that. It does need the cert chain every time, but IIS makes the assumption it's talking to Edge.
I don't see a problem with sending the cert chain every time. We're not on 33.6K modems any more.
Apple people shit on, but I had a really good go at hacking them and ... nope. They're seriously good. I've been hacking and cracking shit for 40 years. And I go up against people who have been doing the same so they know how to stop people like me.
Apple, love 'em or hate 'em, are very good at security.
Was watching News Nation this morning and they were trumpeting the news that a (slim) majority of voters preferred Capitalism over Socialism. I was surprised, assuming a vast majority would prefer Capitalism because it's what they were baked into.
Yep and "one side" has been demonizing "socialism" for as long as I've been alive. I find most people I personally know are fucking over this capitalism hellscape we've created here
I know a fellow who was rather shocked to hear how his tri-care was socialism. He was railing about socialists once, and I went wait, don't you have tri-care? And he was all that is not socialisms! I earned that! and I was all...who the fuck do you think pays for that?
I work in the payments arena and the concept of 'Agentic Commerce' (a bot actually completing a purchase on behalf of a human) is a bit terrifying to my, and greatly concerning for many on my team. It opens up a whole new avenue for fraud.
People were pointing this out where AI was first inflicted on us.
The fact that it's still necessary demonstrates that these models do not learn, do not improve and are not no, or ever will be replacements for people. At best they might act as another tool in certain processes.
[Land Shark editorial]: If we think back a few short years, the ScamCoin™ "industry" (the tech-bros) tried to make cryptocurrency "inevitable." That those crypto-bros thought they could sell that shit to American public showed how really out of touch they are. The AI-bros are trying to do the same thing, but at hyperspeed and on steroids. The difference this time is how much of the US economy is wrapped up in the AI hype. Scary amounts of money ... https://isaiprofitable.com/. The only real companies making real money with AI are those selling hardware: Nvidia, memory chip companies (SK Hynix, Samsung), and maybe a few others. The rest are floating on clouds of hype. And now, with elections coming, the desperation is getting worse. Watch yer wallets, folks.
Most people find this moronic suicide sprint towards "ai" irritating- they don't know what it's good for and none of the coked up techbros can stay still long enough to make a good pitch to the public, because they are so desperate to gull ever more investors.
They just try to wallpaper over everything with it, which pleases no one but themselves.
I ain't got no tech chops and would not know a python from a cobra, but even I know "it is a data cruncher and you still need a human to gather the shit at the end"
So these business fucks have no excuse for falling for the hype.
Ah, but they are stunned by the fake-ass ROI numbers, the ones that are so howlingly improbable that not even Douglas Adams would try to write a plot around them.
Weiss emailed then-executive producer Tanya Simon to demand two changes: that footage of protesters be changed to make them appear more violent, and to add narration that described Good as “driving toward the officer” who killed her. Pelley refused to make those changes.
Oh yes, rest of 60 minutes team, by all means stand by your job of totally real journalism. We absolutely believe that.
There is some credit to be given to those who stayed if they are really trying to fight the good fight. I just don't know ... and I'm not sure I could stay at a place like that.
I don't. There IS no fighting the good fight when you are bending over to do things like above. Cause obviously they are or they would be shitcanned like Pelly was
I tend to agree. And the way Pelly described the hostile takeover... I KNOW that's almost exactly what every other "news" is dealing with - bosses that want them to make "the left" (sane Americans) look "violent". Who knows how long that's been the instructions
This is, unfortunately, not new. I know if M were here she would also mention how black folk are always "looting" during an emergency but white folk are "salvaging" as an example.
Heck, going back to the Kent State masacre, the headlines would make your blood boil knowing what we know now. It took MONTHS for that to get corrected, and the press ran not walked to poll people who said those kids totally had it coming right after.
Yeah, I learned my lesson with “news” in the Great Recession (06-08). No news was pointing out the struggle, did plenty of interviews of people bitching about gas ($5/gallon) and how they had to cut out various things to AFFORD the gas prices. “Affordability” is a Democrat Hoax.
Sound familiar? Then when ONE of the major investors/companies announced they had fucked up - the rest started falling. I feel like I'm about to watch that again, maybe another Kent state, because “they” have already been justifying ICE Murders.
My favorite was when I was at a small startup (making routers) using a Content Addresssble Memory from a mid-tier Silicon Valley shop.
We were having trouble with occasionally getting the wrong answer, and I was put on the case..
You could pretty much infer the internal architecture from the way the part worked, though the vendor kept that tightly under wraps.
After a LOT of testing, I figured out what was wrong: they used a multiplexed bus internally, and they had a timing problem on the handover. Very common bug.
So.. we're on a call with them and I explain what and where I think the problem is.
Silence on the other end. Then...
"We need to know how you got access to our intellectual property."

I was previously inclined to admire Mr. Pelley. When he referred to trumpfuck weiss as "a lovely person", my admiration went out the window.
These people are all part of the club we ain't in, as George Cardin, God bless his soul, told us decades ago.
Well at least they didn't have Dear Leader scoop post his firing on his failing social media outlet.

Wonder who is doing all the AI stock sell offs. The press.
Maybe you should check to see who is doing these oddly patterned sell offs.

Was watching News Nation this morning and they were trumpeting the news that a (slim) majority of voters preferred Capitalism over Socialism. I was surprised, assuming a vast majority would prefer Capitalism because it's what they were baked into.
A large majority of voters have no idea what either is.
The vast majority does not even know what socialism is, so a slim majority preferring capitalism is rather surprising.
Yep and "one side" has been demonizing "socialism" for as long as I've been alive. I find most people I personally know are fucking over this capitalism hellscape we've created here
In my experience, he majority of cons believe Socialism to be bread lines and no toilet paper.

I still can't believe that is what that guy chose for his bio. As if it is the only thing he's got to be proud of.

She only did it the one time!
still having a rough time getting used to "hey someone commented on someone else's comment to your comment" mode..
Hopefully they add an option to limit it to directly replies only. I can't fathom why they thought this was a good idea. Nobody wants it.
I think my favorite was, "You have a beard and kind of look like my exhusband" - I was like, 🤨 but it was a response to someone else 😅
Well that beard is kinda crap.
Well, maybe stop wearing that trilby and talking about craft beer and stop being a fucking bellend?
but I LIKE being a bellend!
THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM
This is why I just clear the bell and don't really read down XD Well no, I've always done that, but it makes a handy excuse.

When would you use aes-256-gcm and when aes-256-cbc? Why?

Imma top post about this. It's fun.
When I feel like it, and because I said so!
*stamps feetes and flounces*
IIRC, we discern those because one is accepted as a part of FIPS and 840.
My simple answer is "am I doing single shot or continuous?"
CBC I can use for iPhone logs, for instance, because the IV is the previous block.
GCM doesn't work quite like that.
Which would be why one is acceptable to FIPS and NIST. (now I'm going to have to read up on this, you pain in the ass)
(we're using AES-GCM)
(goggles those terms)
