 "mili" versus "mega" is a question of which direction you want to go.
 
 "mili" is less abstract - milimeters are smaller than meters.
 
 "mega" is more abstract - megabytes are bigger than bytes.
 
 we use "mili" terminology to describe things that are often considered small
 (like bacteria or sub-plutonic inches, or number of microbes in a vat)
 
 we use "mega" terminology to describe things that are often measured from
 small to large (like bytes to megabytes to kilobytes to gigabytes to terabytes
 to petabytes to... wait shit)

  Reminder: When GOP talks about getting rid of “DEI” they don’t mean getting rid of stupid contrived training that does no good. They mean getting rid of Black people, women, trans folk, and others that don’t fit their ideal of a white ethnostate. They mean getting rid of *PEOPLE*. Not programs.

post title: After Boeing declines to pay up, ransomware group leaks 45 GB of data  384 points, 264 comments. Posted 7 hours ago.  npalli 3 hours ago  For an external party, having access to the 45 GB is the easy part. Now, you will need to create a company and supplier base the size of Boeing to make any use of this :-)  reply   lallysingh 1 hour ago  I can imagine this complicating any supplier contract negotiations. "you pay X $50/unit more for the same device, etc."  reply  alexpotato 29 minutes ago  I remember taking a procurement class in graduate school(MBA).  One of the more interesting points of discussion was that when big companies negotiate purchase agreements for parts, the actual cost of the parts can be very transparent. The negotiation is generally about the actual markup e.g. "I think we should pay X% over cost.  Someone, logically, brought up: "What if the company is not willing to share the cost upfront?".  The professor responded: "Well, if it's a public company you can generally deduce a rough cost/part and use that as your starting point in the negotiation"  Student: "Well what if the company says we're wrong?"  Professor: "No problem: ask them what the correct number is. If they don't want to give it to you, ask them how you expect to have a long term partnership if you are not willing to talk openly and honestly about things like parts costs."  reply  continued on part 2 part 2:  reply  wordpad25 23 minutes ago  That's kind of a softball, can easily be counted with "part costs vary a lot based on the market" or something like, regardless of cost we guarantee you this price point  No business wants to share it's internal costs, it's their prime competitive advantage  reply written in text reply entrance box but not submitted yet:  this is an example of the difference between international trade and internal organization. the professor probably worked in a less globalized time, considering that it's only ever gotten more so. when he was involved in business, perhaps it worked that way. now, perhaps not. such is the fallacy of teaching an evolving field - students learn better by doing. trial and error is the basis of innovation, so why hamper them with trials, regulations, and accreditations? ah if only our jobs weren't tied to our wealth. perhaps then we could help wherever we wanted, and with our actions vote for our valued harders. (what we value, espouse, and are known for. the product of our labors, the design of our corrections from the base instructions, etc)  sure seems a shame to waste all our effort at each corporation. Kinda makes me feel like we're solving the same problems over and over again.

 picture of a notebook page. there is a diagram illustrating a passive energy
 plant that utilizes concave mirrors to focus sunlight onto a copper basin
 which has water in it.
 
 the water boils from the heat and rises upward, spinning a turbine in order to
 charge batteries or generate power for other uses.
 
 every night, the left-over sediments must be brushed from the basin, for if
 they build up they will not conduct heat from the copper as well.
 
 can also be used to distill water in a pinch, however keep in mind that
 distilled water is unsafe to drink because your body will be depleted of
 essential mineral salts. however it can purify the water in order to remove
 toxic heavy metals or plastic pollution, and minerals can be added in later.

 children care more about boundaries and harming others because they are more
 vulnerable, and their existence is predicated on the goodwill of others. It's
 a scary position to be in, one that abused children are all too familiar with
 and are probably rolling their eyes at the obviousness of it all.
 
 To an adult, a child seems fragile. Like, such a small and precious thing, I
 would die for it. I don't care who they become or who they've been, if I see a
 child in danger I would die for it. Though I'd probably do the same for anyone
 I guess.
 
 Seems like it'd be helpful to build into the ActivityPub standard a setting
 that an account can decide for itself whether it interacts with
 
 then before it shows you any posts just check the filter and idk I feel like
 that'd help a lot. Downside is creeps could set it so that no 18+ account
 could read their posts, so idk give kids more moderation tools or something?

  Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism, or socialism, means the reorganization of society upon scientific principles and the abolition of causes which produce vice and crime. Capitalism first produces these social diseases and then seeks to cure them by punishment.

 my favorite lego sets are the ones that teach you to take care of your toys.
 Solid structures with lots of connecting flat pieces (to hold it together) but
 with details that can snap off. Being lego, the child can just... put them
 back on, but with other more expensive or intricate toys they might not. Then,
 if they throw it down the stairs, they have 15 pieces to put back on instead
 of 340.
 
 and if they throw it into the freshly fallen snow, they might not have any.

 In Majesty, you place reward flags on specific monsters as a concession from
 the simulation crowd to the real time strategy crowd who wanted more direct
 control.
 
 In Symbeline, you determine the bounty price for various crimes that mordaunts
 and bandits might commit. In addition, you can incentivize your heroes to
 commit crimes against neighboring nations the same way. In this way you do not
 have direct control, but rather can build out a simulation and tweak it
 bit-by-bit to reward certain types of behavior.

 @user-95 well, if the universe is anything ordered, then odds are the
 beginning of the week is the most likely day to start the beginning of all
 weeks. unless you're one of those weirdos who thinks the week starts on sunday
 - like,,, what it's obviously monday
 
 which goes out of the window of course if the universe is NOT ordered, which
 would surely be a frustrating experience for the structure of our cells. and
 molecules in general.

 we should be able to configure our web browsers so that they don't remember to
 autofill certain pieces of information. Such as the IP address of our router,
 or our bank credentials, or any other forms of passwords that we are using to
 authenticate ourselves. That way our infrastructure that we've designed is
 less susceptible to cybersecurity threats that involve physical access to the
 computer. Or remote control of some kind that is channeled through the UI
 (like RDP or SSH) (a terminal is a text based UI in this context)
 
 Unless of course they knew what they were doing. Which most of them don't.
 Hence why it'd be a good idea to isolate the capabilities of defeating certain
 vulnerabilities to ourselves. Like, a reverse backdoor, only more like a DMZ -
 a sector of computing space (sandboxed of course) that is only utilized for
 understanding the intent of the message sender.
 
 Doing so would require an analysis of the capabilities of the system, the kind
 of analysis that [script kiddies'dve] generated by googl
