Finalement, ça paie d’avoir un boulot qui fait profondément chier !

Je compatis, j’ai deux masters et un doctorat, donc la méthode scientifique et la recherche, je connais bien.

Après, je vis et bosse dans un pays Anglo-Saxon depuis très longtemps, et dans ma tête le mot était “evidence”, que j’ai maladroitement traduit par preuve, qui est excessif dans ce contexte.

J’ai juxtaposé “preuves” et “anecdotiques” précisément pour signifier qu’elles n’en sont pas, et qu’elles relèvent de l’anecdote. J’aurais effectivement dû plutôt utiliser le terme “indices” ou “présomptions” pour être moins ambigu.

Observateur distant de l’actualité judiciaire française, j’ai une hypothèse (superficielle à ce stade) que les récidivistes et réitérants représentent une part disproportionnellement élevée des délits et crimes.

Les preuves dont je dispose sont essentiellement anecdotiques : des faits divers rapportés dans la presse dont les auteurs étaient déjà très “défavorablement connus” pour des faits similaires, selon la formule consacrée. Certains en ont appelé au retour des peines plancher, ou l’instauration de peines exponentielles.

Existe-t-il des données publiques juxtaposant le nombre de délits et de crimes commis en France d’une part, et les antécédents judiciaires de leurs auteurs d’autre part ? Ce qui permettrait de faire une analyse de Pareto (et le cas échéant rejeter cette hypothèse).

I haven’t watched the vid and cannot right now. But responding to the comment above, it should be “forbidden to say unpleasant things” when the law makes it illegal, because the law comes from the elected legislature in a democracy (i.e., ≈ the collective will of the people). This is not about cushioning people from unpleasantness, it’s about not breaking laws that exist for a reason.

When should it be made illegal to say such things? When we collectively and democratically agree that it leads to net negative societal outcomes; for example, quoting the worst of the Old Testament, or Hitler’s Mein Kampf in the context of uncritically calling for genocide or apartheid is already illegal in some countries, because we know exactly where this leads. It’s not the books themselves that are problematic, it’s advocating for illegal things like discrimination or mass murder based on race, beliefs, etc. Anyone advocating for such things is already legally liable under several jurisdictions, regardless of whether they couch their argument in some third-party written text.

Such laws were enacted precisely because of historical lessons learned at an expensive cost to humanity. We don’t have to repeat the same experiments just because we didn’t live through that era.

According to the [GeekBench 6] test, the M3 performed over 20% faster than both chips [M2 Max and M2 Pro] and scored 3,472 points in the single-core tests and 13,676 points in the multi-core tests. The numbers place the M3 above its predecessor, the M2 Max and M2 Pro [even though the M3 has fewer cores].

I agree with you.

A company’s core business and skillset is rarely to manage an on-prem IT infrastructure, which is a highly complex endeavor these days. Security most always benefits from being put in the hands of cloud providers such as Microsoft, Amazon, or Google, who can mobilize the best talent and apply economies of scale and modern best practices to cybersecurity across an entire stack.

It also means far fewer liability headaches for the companies that transfer this difficult and onerous responsibility to cloud providers. It’s not even necessarily cheaper to go full cloud; I’ve seen multiple examples where it wasn’t, but the reduction in complexity and liability made common sense. So even the “LaTe-StAgE CaPiTaLiSm!!” claim is just a tired trope at this point.

It’s easy to focus on one publicized exploit of Microsoft’s cloud like this one, and not see the other side of the argument of how many exploits were avoided over the years by not having individual companies manage their own servers. It’s still entirely plausible that the general move to cloud infrastructure since the late 2000s is a net win for cybersecurity in aggregate.

I would also add that whether other cloud customers might be breached simultaneously in the extremely rare event of a cloud-wide exploit is not a consideration when a company decides to move from on-prem to cloud. It’s just a Moloch problem that doesn’t and shouldn’t concern them.

That’s right, they were most likely never deleted in the first place, despite Reddit’s indication to the contrary.

It’s not just the search results, it’s the actual comments, on the Reddit website itself, still visible under my username. Despite redact.dev reporting a complete wipe weeks ago, and the Reddit profile > comments page returning zero result.

I only used Google to do a sanity check weeks after the deletion, and found all those leftovers that even Reddit doesn’t report to me as being still there.

Yes, it’s not just just the search engine’s web crawler lagging behind in updating its Reddit index. Following the links takes me to the actual comment, on Reddit, under my username. There are dozens of them, some very old, some recent. Yet the Reddit Profile > Comments page shows I have none left. So even Reddit is not internally consistent.

Cela m’a fait rire (jaune).
