Google "System Design Github.com". There are some amazing guides there. GCP names their products pretty clearly (looking at you AWS) so mapping them to Google Cloud products should be easy.

Also this group looks almost cliche Cold War intelligence agency. Their UK name servers appear to host the authoritative records for half a dozen amateur radio groups / HF repeater runners in the UK. Fascinating, could someone reach out to them? cleddau-amateur-radio-society.org.uk AND tenby-radio-repeater-group.org.uk AND taffvaleradio.club with DNS records served from ns1.mhosting.co.uk.
Apparently they left open their main production database a few months ago. The issue here though seems to be that even now they require all these agencies to whitelist on all ports their two /24 "remote support" subnets.
He pulled an SSH key from one of the remote support servers and found it also on dozens of Chinese servers...
If you are familiar with ICS security / systems, you can literally see the incinerators with dashboards of “humans per hour” and things like that.
Anyone with data wrangling skills (BigQuery, DataPrep, stuff like that), setting up cloud infra, or even just really good hard-code internetting research skills would be appreciated.

I actually wouldn’t have minded posting my real name, but it seemed somehow like it would take away from my post unless I used a cool anonymous (but not really) alias.
Again though I still see your point and those claims, if situation was a little more mundane, are absolutely true.
Behind a single user/pass form with a 12 char pass. Would be stupid to not target these states.
This was in September 2018.
Even back then, supersonic, let alone hypersonic, aviation was such a pipe dream for civilian aviation. Not saying it can’t be done, but I can’t imagine the breakthroughs that need to be made would be made outside of any context short of a World War.
Let me list the problems:
1. Materials Science. Very hard to design materials that survive those kind of stresses, and that you know will last 30+ years. Airplanes routinely have 60 year life cycles, so 30 years of material survival is the minimum. The stresses on these things are huge. The Concorde would actually expand 10 inches from head-to-tail during flight because of the heat.
2. Overpromising dating back 40 years. My favorite example is Ronald Reagan promising an “Orient Express” that would be 90 minutes New York to Tokyo. That was in his 1986 “State of the Union”.
3. Acceleration. Flying Mach 6 is one thing. Having a plane that can accelerate up to that speed fast enough that the flight doesn’t already end, AND THEN slow down an equal amount, is another thing.
4. Sound. This sounds like a nuisance thing, until you hear one of these aircrafts in action. THEY ARE SO DAMN LOUD. It’s a health and safety issue almost. I would compare it to being around artillery fire, maybe worse. It stays with you for days.
The Japanese and Australians from time to time do some good work on this kind of aviation. Boeing had a civilian supersonic project in the 70’s, but it’s all been given up except for the occasional private jet or military experiment.
This app has some short-term benefits, but it’s hard to see long-term benefits. What if every government aid program was super easy to sign-up for and instantly check whatever you need. What would change? Less taxes from all the gov workers we’d no longer need?
Was thinking more back to “poll tests” Jim Crowe days at first. This was not that. Just saying “literacy” was deceiving.
I used to struggle with this too, but then I realized just how much corporations steal from America.
It wasn’t always like this of course, both consumers/citizens and companies can go back to treating the other not-like-shit, but companies can go first.
This all hit me one day when I realized that, even if I dedicated my life to crime and greed, I would never be able to steal/defraud as much as many companies have in several business hours.
That being said I want to make it clear I pay my taxes in full and take only the standard deduction.

No one ever had sexual freedom. It was just sexual freedom for the 1% who could afford gym memberships, not working in college, organic food, etc. Recently, now that the rich work so so much, I’m doubting even they are finding sexual freedom, whatever that is.
You would have had more sexual freedom in the 1950’s.
Sometimes trying to prepare for a crisis that might never come is the worst strategy.
Supposedly, this is what makes democracies stronger than authoritarian governments. Democracies argue endlessly, never taking action until a crisis, and then pulling off the impossible.
Authoritarian governments will try some crazy engineering solution for a problem they really don’t have (like irrigating Kazakhstan), and then 15 years later 90% of the Aral Sea is gone.
In other cases, preparing for Y2K, although it didn’t come, was actually extremely useful in responding to the attacks of 9/11. A lot of protocol that was used that day was originally going to be deployed 18 months earlier during New Years, December 31st, 1999.
Funnily enough, they are saying the same thing now about AR/VR. We will see.

More to the point, and taking out my axe to grind, all of this focus on productivity and being a “success!” is helpful, but also amusing and adisheartening. Please stick with me here, but if you look into sociology written over the last 20 years, it’s tragic (but also inspiring) how Americans tried and tried to work harder, even though the cost of everything went up 3x and the amount of work needed to attain that same stuff also went up 3x, thus meaning everything required 9x more effort.
I love people working hard, but it’s shocking when you learn that adjusted to BOTH population growth and inflation, an apartment in New York City should rent for about $900 today.
If linear trends continue (they won’t fortunately, some kind of large crisis will reset them) we’ll be talking about preparing kids to be a “CEO!” at 14 or earlier, maybe even there will be “CEO Camps”. What a delight...

“Waiting until the next quarter” is exactly what Equifax did regarding patching.
Intel’s CEO is both guilty of corporate malpractice and willful blindness. The latter term is currently undergoing a renaissance in legal academia and will send many people to jail in the future.
From the very first picture that begins the article on-down, Elizabeth Mason advocates an absolutely frightening system that is made even more scary by how she comes through as genuinely/naively believing in it all.
> Big data promises something closer to an unbiased, ideology-free evaluation of the effectiveness of these social programs. We could come closer to the vision of a meritocratic, technocratic society that politicians from both parties at state and local levels — those closest to the practical problems their constituents face — have begun to embrace.
First, meritocracy was first brought up as a joke by the author who coined the term. Second, who is advocating for this “technocratic vision” short of Silicon Valley CEOs? This “vision” of centralized, unbiased analysis by top-notch planners was what we had in Vietnam or with GOSPLAN in the USSR, not what we need now.
Third, AI works fast, which means even if it’s 75% less “ideological” or whatever, it’s rate of speed is so fast that it will magnify any and all biases that might be lurking inside. To imagine that it is unbiased is crazy, let alone to think that it wouldn’t be used to some horrible malevolent end (cough China cough).
This article made me sick, but it was so uplifting and wonderful to see all the other negative reactions on here and that this is not representative of HN.
You would need to make clear that they would need your phone as well for MFA codes, so if you have a phone password (you should) make sure to put that in the deposit box or notes section of 1password/LastPass.
All of those operations people should be immediately trained in cybersecurity and deployed literally anywhere in the country.
If you’ve seen the latest password dumps and how bad they are, cybersecurity is getting worse if anything.
Also, as of 2015 the Chinese had 60,000 dedicated cyber security engineers. This year the US I think has 9,000, maybe less, and they can’t even protect the US, much less the rest of the world (unlike the globally deployed US Navy).
Ops people are so important.
NOTE: I actually am an AWS Engineer and I like moving to the cloud, but still.
Capitalism comes in waves too. Usually it’s really good for while, then declines, and then is reformed into another good period before it declines again and so on.
Imagine a country with 1,000 different Enron’s or Countrywide’s that instead of being investigated by the government are getting cover/protection instead.
