Checks out for those in high income industries (like tech). I know some folks who have been actively job-hunting for 7-8 months. It took me 3.5 months, myself.
I’m not much of a white-collar person, though. I’m more of a hoodie person (and I have various colors). 😉
The mom message chain is sharing that another one on my middle schoolers' friends who lives on our neighborhood got hit by a driver on his way to school today. He usually bikes on the sidewalk in the area of the arterial streets.
This particular street has had two diets in the past five years, but maybe since the public works director just retired it can get another one? I noticed a fallen lamp pole with bright yellow crosswalk warning signs on the school sidewalk this week. What really ticks me off is that all the city engineers show up for the regional safe routes to schools meetings and not a soul from the school districts does.
@HayiWena educators shouldn't have to bear that or so many other burdens we put on them. Bike training would be better than lockdown drills I guess, but the network/system is out of their hands (yes we give the principals veto power over anything that would make driving difficult 😞 IDK)
the school district isn't taking every opportunity to talk to the cities and advocate for the safety of the kids in their walk zone then I don't think they are delivering equitable access to education. This is a Title 1 school and the lowest income families are in the walk zone. Our neighborhood is more affluent for sure, which is why most of us drive our kids.
SIM cards can run custom applications that the carrier put on them. The phone is not aware of these applications, generally speaking. There's restrictions on what it can do... mostly constrained by the fact it's a tiny-ass SIM card.
This is a technical talk, so be warned. You will also probably be spooked by your phone afterwards. I know for a while I kinda just stared at it, like, "ehhgh... I don't like this."
SIM cards also can store contact data, fun fact, although modern phones can't usually *write* this data to the SIM (I think some apps can do it, I did it years ago for novelty, but that might have changed), you definitely can read contacts off the SIM.
right did a minor edit at the fact the eff link was for devices such as stingray but the point still stands that K on sim cards is insanely fucking broken. I don't know of anyone who's talked about it in depth (I remember reading a lot online) so I'd love to have a defcon video or something to go with it. Sim card auth is actually horrifying to think about
yeah. i mean it's more of a historical artifact. I wonder if there's any in depth youtube videos or something to digest regarding how broken this system got. I mean there's a reason we went away from it.
@puppygirlhornypost But yea I actually think everyone should disable 2G on their phone, not just because LEO's use it in stingrays, but because anyone can do it and the portion of the baseband facing the radio is probably the least audited part of a modern phone given that it's assume to be trusted (the OS-facing side IS audited more now, after it's been used to jailbreak/hacktivate phones).
There is much misinformation on the topic of SIM card cloning. This video shows the cloning process in detail, and answers the questions of when, how and wh...
This is a simple question and the answer is not straightforward.
In the sense of, "can I get an open-source SIM card?" The answer is "yes, but..."
The "but" there is the problem.
The thing is, you need the ICCID, phone number, authentication keys, etc. to sign onto the network.
These things cannot be retrieved from a SIM card by design (otherwise you could clone SIMs and that would actually be extremely bad).
You would need to run your own network... I doubt any major network is gonna let an MVNO on with an open-source SIM.
You also generally speaking can't modify much on a SIM, especially the code, after it's been flashed. That said, people have done interesting things with the applications on the SIM card before for small uses, like setting up a small mobile network for a conference in the woods (they had a special FCC license just for the occasion, it was all above board, it's just expensive to run long-term and you couldn't run it everywhere), with a VPN and everything.
There's a trend towards lower speed limits in cities all over the world, but why is this happening? What is the research behind it? And what is the "correct" speed limit for cities, anyway?
Biology faculty at UT are meeting today to talk about a hiring plan. I don't envy their job of trying to make a department located in Texas attractive.
We're in the middle of an ongoing purge of black staff, the administration just called in the state police to beat and jail students, and no one in their right mind would want to risk pregnancy to have a family here. It's bleak.
my texas based company is asking interviewers if we get feedback from people about their concerns about living in Texas, and I'm all yeah, like every interview except if it's a white guy.
a reality that socialist or progressive protestors must take into account is that disorder on the streets always works to the political advantage of fascists, who credibly promise order at all costs even while they cynically ensure protest becomes disorderly.
it’s not fair, but it is reality. in the ecstasy of genuine righteousness one may not give a fuck, but then a morning after comes.
completely disagree. Government overreach due to disorder on the streets is what changes minds. AIDS didn’t vanish silently, there is actual medicine BECAUSE ACT UP caused disorder in the streets. Just like Vietnam’s war and civil rights movement.
@divya ACT UP caused very narrow and targeted disorder on the streets, and famously paired it with an inside strategy. i’m not saying all protest is bad. i’m saying effective protest is orderly, intentionally and clearly contained, carefully controlled because when it devolves into anything that resembles street violence you lose. the 1980s were a propitious time for these protests, bc there was a right wing govt but no fascist outside movement contesting. 1/
@divya the civil rights movement has to be scored a win for outside protest, but it was a close run thing, under unusual circumstances, in which people were so committed they not only began nonviolent but remained so under baton and fist. even so, it likely would not have succeeded if the disorder had not been confined to a fraction of the country the rest was embarrassed about, and extraordinary efforts by LBJ. i think we’ve overlearned from a very close-run N=1. 2/
this is very wild thing to say, 60s had a lot of shit going on and people were not violently committed to being non-violent! We had the Black Panthers for gads sake!
@divya There was a lot going on, sure. And there was violence. You can make a case that a generalized sense of threat played bad cop to the ostentatious virtue of MLK's nonviolent movement. Riots sometime lead to change. But they often lead to reaction. 1/
@divya You can tell lots of stories about the 60s. But I don't think you can fairly look at the world and conclude that violent chaos frequently births leftish or liberal or just orders. You can maybe claim CRM as a counterexample, if you want to emphasize the sense of threat. But then the political aftermath of the 60s was mostly reaction. Vietnam War protests just picked off LBJ, which did not redound to the benefit of people in Indochina. /fin
You said disorder on the streets *always* works to the political advantage of fascists. I disagreed and mentioned how disorder on the streets is what got us the rights the disorder happened to support.
Vietnam war protests *did* benefit south east Asia! There were no more bombs being dropped on Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia.

The entire history of the USA can be summed up as "might makes right", so this is not out of character in the slightest and raising the flag is the perfect metaphor for it.
Nothing says, “these people we removed are an enemy” than hoisting your flag at the end of the day. Those are very powerful optics that both show how the NYPD sees the students, and will influence how others see the students.
Boeing's 787 "Dreamliner" is manufactured far from the company's Seattle headquarters, in a non-union shop in Charleston, South Carolina. At that shop, there is a cage full of defective parts that have been pulled from production because they are not airworthy.
--
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
Hundreds of parts from that Material Review Segregation Area (MRSA) were secretly pulled from that cage and installed on aircraft that are currently plying the world's skies. Among them, sections 47/48 of a 787 - the last four rows of the plane, along with its galley and rear toilets.
As Maureen Tkacik writes in her excellent piece on Boeing's lethally corrupt culture of financialization and whistleblower intimidation, this is a *big ass* chunk of an airplane, and there's no way it could go missing from the MRSA cage without *a lot* of people knowing about it:
The late whistleblower John Barnett described Boeing as a psychological torture chamber for anyone who cared about safety. A 2000 law makes fighting back nearly impossible.
More: MRSA parts are prominently emblazoned with red marks denoting them as defective and unsafe. For a plane to escape Boeing's production line and find its way to a civilian airport near you with these defective parts installed, *many* people will have to see and ignore this literal red flag.
The MRSA cage was a special concern of John "Swampy" Barnett, the Boeing whistleblower who is alleged to have killed himself in March.
Tkacik's earlier profile of Swampy paints a picture of a fearless, stubborn engineer refusing to go along to get along, refused to allow himself to become inured to Boeing's growing culture of profits over safety:
Boeing is the US's last aviation company and its largest exporter. After the company was allowed to merge with its rival McDonnell-Douglas in 1997, the combined company came under MDD's notoriously financially oriented management culture.
MDD CEO Harry Stonecipher became Boeing's CEO in the early 2000s. Stonecipher was a protege of Jack Welch, the man who destroyed General Electric with cuts to quality and workforce and aggressive union-busting, a classic Mafia-style "bust-out" that devoured the company's seed corn and left it a barren wasteland:
Post-merger, Boeing became increasingly infected with MDD's culture. The company chased cheap, less-skilled labor to other countries and to America's great onshore-offshore sacrifice zone, the "right-to-work" American south, where bosses can fire uppity workers who balked at criminal orders, without the hassle of a union grievance.
Stonecipher was succeeded by Jim "Prince Jim" McNerney, ex-3M CEO, another Jack Welch protege (Welch spawned a botnet of sociopath looters who seized control of the country's largest, most successful firms, and drove them into the ground). McNerney had a cute name for the company's senior engineers: "phenomenally talented assholes." He created a program to help his managers force these skilled workers - everyone a Boeing who knew how to build a plane - out of the company.
McNerney's big idea was to get rid of "phenomenally talented assholes" and outsource 787 design to suppliers, who were utterly dependent on the company and could be pushed around (McNerney didn't care that most of these suppliers lacked engineering departments). This resulted in a $80b overrun, and a last-minute scramble to save the 787 by shipping a "cleanup crew" from Seattle to SC, in the hopes that those "phenomenally talented assholes" could save McNerney's ass.
Swampy was part of the cleanup crew. He was terrified by what he saw there. Boeing had convinced the FAA to let them company perform its own inspections, replacing independent government inspectors with Boeing employees. The company would mark its own homework, and it swore that it wouldn't cheat.
Boeing cheated. Swampy dutifully reported the legion of safety violations he witnessed and was banished to babysit the MRSA, an assignment his managers viewed as a punishment that would isolate Swampy from the criminality he refused to stop reporting. Instead, Swampy audited the MRSA, and discovered that at least 420 defective aviation components had gone missing from the cage, presumably to be installed in planes that were behind schedule.
Swampy then audited the *keys* to the MRSA and learned that hundreds of keys were "floating around" the Charleston facility. Virtually anyone could liberate a defective part and install it into an airplane without any paper trail.
Swampy's bosses had a plan for dealing with this. They ordered Swampy to "pencil whip" the investigations of 420 missing defective components and close the cases without actually figuring out what happened to them. Swampy refused.
Instead, Swampy took his concerns to a departmental meeting where 12 managers were present and announced that "if we can’t find them, any that we can’t find, we need to report it to the FAA." The only response came from a supervisor, who said, "We’re not going to report *anything* to the FAA."
The thing is, Swampy wasn't just protecting the lives of the passengers in those defective aircraft - he was also protecting Boeing employees. Under Sec 38 of the US Criminal Code, it's a 15-year felony to make any "materially false writing, entry, certification, document, record, data plate, label, or electronic communication concerning any aircraft or space vehicle part."
Swampy blew the whistle. How did the 787 - and the rest of Boeing's defective flying turkeys - escape the hangar and find their way into commercial airlines' fleets? Tkacik blames a 2000 whistleblower law called AIR21 that:
> creates such byzantine procedures, locates adjudication power in such an outgunned federal agency, and gives whistleblowers such a narrow chance of success that it effectively immunizes airplane manufacturers, of which there is one in the United States, from suffering any legal repercussions from the testimony of their own workers.
By his own estimation, Swampy was ordered to commit two felonies *per week* for *six years*.
Tkacik explains that this kind of operation relies on a culture of ignorance - managers must not document their orders, and workers must not be made aware of the law. Whistleblowers like Swampy, who spoke the unspeakable, were sidelined (an assessment by one of Swampy's managers called him "one of the best" and finished that "leadership would give hugs and high fives all around at his departure").
Multiple whistleblowers were singled out for retaliation and forced departure. William Hobek, a quality manager who refused to "pencil whip" the missing, massive 47-48 assembly that had wandered away from the MRSA cage, was given a "weak" performance review and fired despite an HR manager admitting that it was bogus.
Another quality manager, Cynthia Kitchens, filed an ethics complaint against manager Elton Wright who responded to her persistent reporting of defects on the line by shoving her against a wall and shouting that Boeing was "a good ol’ boys’ club and you need to get on board." Kitchens was fired in 2016. She had cancer at the time.
John Woods, yet another quality engineer, was fired after he refused to sign off on a corner-cutting process to repair a fuselage - the FAA later backed up his judgment.
Then there's Sam Salehpour, the 787 quality engineer whose tearful Congressional testimony described more corner-cutting on fuselage repairs:
Boeing’s global fleet of 787 Dreamliner jets should be grounded for safety checks after manufacturing errors left them structurally unsound, a whistleblower ...
Salehpour's boss followed the Boeing playbook to the letter: Salehpour was constantly harangued and bullied, and he was isolated from colleagues who might concur with his assessment. When Salehpour announced that he would give Congressional testimony, his car was sabotaged under mysterious circumstances.
It's a playbook. Salehpour's experience isn't unusual at Boeing. Two other engineers, working on the 787 Organization Designation Authorization, held up production by insisting that the company fix the planes' onboard navigation computers. Their boss gave them a terrible performance review, admitting that top management was furious at the delays and had ordered him to punish the engineers.
The engineers' union grievance failed, with Boeing concluding that this conduct - which they admitted to - didn't rise to the level of retaliation.
As Tkacik points out, these engineers and managers that Boeing targeted for intimidation and retaliation are the very same staff who are supposed to be performing inspections of behalf of the FAA. In other words, Boeing has spent years attacking its own regulator, with total impunity.
But it's not just the FAA who've failed to take action - it's also the DOJ, who have consistently declined to bring prosecutions in most cases, and who settled the rare case they *did* bring with "deferred prosecution agreements." This pattern was true under Trump's DOJ and continued under Biden's tenure.
Biden's prosecutors have been so lackluster that a federal judge "publicly rebuked the DOJ for failing to take seriously the reputational damage its conduct throughout the Boeing case was inflicting on the agency."
Meanwhile, there's the AIR21 rule, a "whistleblower" rule that actually protects Boeing *from* whistleblowers.
Under AIR21, an aviation whistleblower who is retaliated against by their employer must first try to resolve their problem internally. If that fails, the whistleblower has only one course of action: file an OSHA complaint within 90 days (if HR takes more than 90 days to resolve your internal complaint, you can no have no further recourse).
If you manage to raise a complaint with OSHA, it is heard by a secret tribunal that has no subpoena power and routinely takes *five years* to rule on cases, and rules against whistleblowers *97% of the time*.
Boeing whistleblowers who missed the 90-day cutoff have filled the South Carolina courts with last-ditch attempts to hold the company to account.
When they lose these cases - as is routine, given Boeing's legal muscle and AIR21's legal handcuffs - they are often ordered to pay Boeing's costs.
Tkacik cites Swampy's lawyer, Rob Turkewitz, who says Swampy was the only whistleblower who was "savvy, meticulous, and fast-moving enough to bring an AIR 21 case capable of jumping through all the hoops" to file an AIR21 case, which then took *seven years*. Turkewitz calls Boeing South Carolina "a criminal enterprise."
That's a conclusion that's hard to argue with. Take Boeing's excuse for not producing the documentation of its slapdash reinstallation of the Alaska Air door plug that fell off its plane in flight: the company says it's not criminally liable for failing to provide the paperwork, because it never documented the repair. Not documenting the repair is also a crime.
You might have heard that there's some accountability coming to the Boeing boardroom, with the ouster of CEO David Calhoun. Calhoun's likely successor is Patrick Shanahan, whom Tkacik describes as "the architect of the ethos that governed the 787 program" and whom her source called "a classic schoolyard bully."
If Shanahan's name rings a bell, it might be because he was almost Trump's Secretary of Defense, but that was derailed by the news that he had "emphatically defended" his 17 year old son after the boy nearly beat his mother to death with a baseball bat. Shanahan is presently CEO of Spirit Aerospace, who made the door-plug that fell out of the Alaska Airlines 737 Max.
The whistleblower texted Tkcacik to say (not for the first time): "If anything happens, I'm not suicidal."
Boeing is a primary aerospace contractor to the US government. It's clear that its management - and investors - consider it too big to jail. It's also clear that they know it's too big to fail - after all, the company did a $43b stock buyback, then got billions in a publicly funded buyback.
Boeing is, effectively, a government agency that is run for the benefit of its investors. It performs its own safety inspections. It investigates its own criminal violations of safety rules. It loots its own coffers and then refills them at public expense.
Meanwhile, the company has filled our skies with at *least* 420 airplanes with defective, red-painted parts that were locked up in the MRSA cage, then snuck out and fitted to an airplane that you or someone you love could fly on the next time you take your family on vacation or fly somewhere for work.
@NewNordicNormal The optimistic take is that they will explain things like, "the reason that person is cycling 'in the middle of the road' is because that's what the regulations tell them to do, so shut up and wait your turn" but, well, that is optimistic.
It's sad how "new" today means "worse materials, less material, and shorter design lifespan in the name of maximizing shareholder-appeasing profit" and not "better". :/
I'm pretty sure the reputation of products "made in China" being of poor quality is mainly caused by decisions made by American executives that oversee their outsourced manufacturing, in addition to the obvious racism.
Here comes more 'totality of circumstances' horsepucky. The naked, wet guy was a clear danger and immediate threat to officers who feared for their lives ...
Reading the document embedded in the newspaper page I would say D.A. John T Chisholm and Dr. Brian Linert the medical examiner are responsible for not charging the police killers by declaring and allowing that the "cause of death was excited delirium".
This is a nonsense and a racist diagnosis that has a very good Wikipedia page.
"Dr. Brian Linert conducted the forensic autopsy of Mr. Trammell and concluded that the cause of death was excited delirium and that the manner of death was undetermined. The full autopsy protocol is included in the investigative materials prepared by the Greenfield Police Department.
It should be noted that the medical examiner was informed of the circumstances surrounding the use of both the electrical control devices and the administration of chemical agents during the encounter prior to reaching this conclusion. I also reviewed medical literature to include "Can TAZER Electronic Control Devices Cause Cardiac Arrest"? by Dr Douglas Zipes and a memo prepared by
Dr Michael Freeman of Forensic Research+Analysis that assessed the "validity and reliability of "excited delirium" as a cause of death when other competing causes are present as well"."
I had a discussion with a friend of mine during the Mahsa Amini uprising in Iran when the young woman died of what people say was result of police brutality, but the government claimed it was a brain aneurysm that led to weeks of uprising and demonstrations and global action against the government of Iran. I was comparing it with the police brutality in US and how much worse the police violence is in the US compared to Iran. I have lived in 7 different countries and have to say that US and French police are the most out of control and protected police in the world and they treat people with such level of violence and anger that is making me shocked that the people in the society are not doing anything to hold them accountable. The US is a magnitude worse than any other western country and the police violence is like those of military junta in south and central America.
Anyway, my friend (or now, former friend) is no longer talking to me because he accused me of turning soft of IRI regime and too hateful of western countries. But sadly, I can't see how much the actions of the police in US is much better than those of IRGC and moral police in Iran.
All "strict" parenting is abusive. A primary focus on controlling children instead of working with & living with them in ways that respect them as people, is only ever going to be on a spectrum of "bad" to "worse."
There seems to be a lot of focus on differentiating "good" strict parenting (supposedly not abusive) and "bad" strict parenting (abusive), when any variation is wildly authoritarian and worthy of condemnation.
The abuse of children is absolutely endemic. It's the norm. Which means MOST parenting is, to some extent, also abusive.
In the same way that men must be explicitly AGAINST patriarchy to do good, non-engagement with gendered oppression means participating in it, so too adults must be ACTIVELY opposed to the oppression of children in order to not engage in normalized abuse of children.
So BJ's can tell if you're using a phone number associated with a mobile phone specifically now, and requires you do so to use their delivery service. I've been using a VoIP number specifically so I DON’T have to give my real phone number out to businesses and other organisations that will likely sell them to data brokers etc.
This kind of tech is concerning, Many of us use VoIP numbers to keep big businesses and other shady operations from getting our real numbers. This could basically kill that, and I wonder how many other businesses will start using tricks like this to get our personal data in the future.
If your for-profit business has ever received a bailout or government subsidy because it can't stay afloat any other way, your business model and/or business practices are broken. >:(

SUID processes are weird concepts: they are invoked by unprivileged code and inherit the execution context intended for and controlled by unprivileged code.
this actually looks great, he makes some great points about SUID binaries in his posts on Mastodon, and the idea of instead using a service that runs the thing for you gives you a lot more flexibility and control over 'sudo-ing' while also making it more simple from a security point of view-- I can imagine it could also make it more complicated from an operational point of view though, but I guess we'll have to see what it's like in practice

it was about time for serious effort to replace sudo.

I did a little bit more digging and no this is an ai techbro who utilizes these sort of ragebait posts to farm engagement for his ai startup company he works at. I was thinking that it had to be satire, and it sort of is but he genuinely thinks of himself as a visionary. his personal website is just showcasing a wide variety of art aligned work he has done. that alone isn't suspicious but considering previous posts regarding ai art, and employer being an ai marketing company startup... https://x.com/lucas__crespo/status/1730329318960644250https://x.com/lucas__crespo/status/1485169497489162243 actually disappointed me because I was hoping it'd be more like nanoraptor or another person who spends the time to make talented tech shitposts that look nice. i think it's all just a facade to boost marketing skills and resume padding.
