Genuinely not trying to be insensitive, but what in the Sims game GLITCH is this!??!?

So, I just want to give a shout out to all 80 guardian angels aboard the Delta Airlines jet when it crashed, flipped over, and burned in Toronto because as of today all 21 people who had been hospitalized, even those airlifted in critical condition, have been released. Not one person died in that wild accident. Yes, the flight crew and emergency crews did a great job, but those guardian angels....wow. I mean you actually have to live through the crash, flip and burn FIRST before the emergency crews can help you, you know what I'm saying?

I had to go back in my photos to figure out why I listened this much and it turns out it was the day I exclusively spent in airports/planes

It was 36 consecutive hrs to go from LA to Boston

Delta airlines more like delta crash lines. Anyway the people who survived their recent crash are being offered $30,000 each which seems like a lot until you realise that's less than six months pay on a lower middle class job and the plane tickets cost betweem $500-$3000.

crowdstrike: hot take 1

It's too early in the news cycle to say anything truly smart, but to sum things up, what I know so far:

there was no "hack" or cyberattack or data breach*

a private IT security company called CrowdStrike released a faulty update which practically disabled all its desktop (?) Windows workstations (laptops too, but maybe not servers? not sure)

the cause has been found and a fix is on the way

as it stands now, the fix will have to be manually applied (in person) to each affected workstation (this could mean in practice maybe 5, maybe 30 minutes of work for each affected computer - the number is also unknown, but it very well could be tens (or hundreds) of thousands of computers across thousands of large, multinational enterprises.

(The fix can be applied manually if you have a-bit-more-than-basic knowledge of computers)

Things that are currently safe to assume:

this wasn't a fault of any single individual, but of a process (workflow on the side of CrowdStrike) that didn't detect the fault ahead of time

[most likely] it's not that someone was incompetent or stupid - but we don't have the root cause analysis available yet

deploying bugfixes on Fridays is a bad idea

*The obligatory warning part:

Just because this wasn't a cyberattack, doesn't mean there won't be related security breaches of all kinds in all industries. The chaos, panic, uncertainty, and very soon also exhaustion of people dealing with the fallout of the issue will create a perfect storm for actually malicious actors that will try to exploit any possible vulnerability in companies' vulnerable state.

The analysis / speculation part:

globalization bad lol

OK, more seriously: I have not even heard about CrowdStrike until today, and I'm not a security engineer. I'm a developer with mild to moderate (outsider) understanding of vulnerabilities.

OK some background / basics first

It's very common for companies of any size to have more to protect their digital assets than just an antivirus and a firewall. Large companies (Delta Airlines) can afford to pay other large companies to provide security solutions for them (CrowdStrike). These days, to avoid bad software of any kind - malware - you need a complex suite of software that protects you from all sides:

desktop/laptop: antivirus, firewall, secure DNS, avoiding insecure WiFi, browser exploits, system patches, email scanner, phishing on web, phishing via email, physical access, USB thumb drive, motherboard/BIOS/UEFI vulnerabilities or built-in exploits made by the manufacturers of the Chinese government,

person/phone: phishing via SMS, phishing via calls, iOS/Android OS vulnerabilities, mobile app vulnerabilities, mobile apps that masquerade as useful while harvesting your data, vulnerabilities in things like WhatsApp where a glitched JPG pictures sent to you can expose your data, ...

servers: mostly same as above except they servers have to often deal with millions of requests per day, most of them valid, and at least some of the servers need to be connected to the internet 24/7

CDN and cloud services: fundamentally, an average big company today relies on dozens or hundreds of other big internet companies (AWS / Azure / GCP / Apple / Google) which in turn rely on hundreds of other companies to outsource a lot of tasks (like harvesting your data and sending you marketing emails)

infrastructure - routers... modems... your Alexa is spying on you... i'm tired... etc.

Anyway if you drifted to sleep in the previous paragraph I don't blame you. I'm genuinely just scratching the surface. Cybersecurity is insanely important today, and it's insanely complex too.

The reason why the incident blue-screened the machines is that to avoid malware, a lot of the anti-malware has to run in a more "privileged" mode, meaning they exist very close to the "heart" of Windows (or any other OS - the heart is called kernel). However, on this level, a bug can crash the system a lot more easily. And it did.

OK OK the actual hot lukewarm take finally

I didn't expect to get hit by y2k bug in the middle of 2024, but here we are.

As bad as it was, this only affected a small portion of all computers - in the ballpark of ~0.001% or even 0.0001% - but already caused disruptions to flights and hospitals in a big chunk of the world.

maybe-FAQ:

"Oh but this would be avoided if they weren't using the Crowdwhatever software" - true. However, this kind of mistake is not exclusive to them.

"Haha windows sucks, Linux 4eva" - I mean. Yeah? But no. Conceptually there is nothing that would prevent this from happening on Linux, if only there was anyone actually using it (on desktop).

"But really, Windows should have a better protection" - yes? no? This is a very difficult, technical question, because for kernel drivers the whole point is that 1. you trust them, and 2. they need the super-powerful-unrestrained access to work as intended, and 3. you _need_ them to be blazing fast, so babysitting them from the Windows perspective is counterproductive. It's a technical issue with no easy answers on this level.

"But there was some issue with Microsoft stuff too." - yes, but it's unknown if they are related, and at this point I have not seen any solid info about it.

The point is, in a deeply interconnected world, it's sort of a miracle that this isn't happening more often, and on a wider scale. Both bugfixes and new bugs are deployed every minute to some software somewhere in the world, because we're all in a rush to make money and pay rent and meet deadlines.

Increased monoculture in IT is bad for everyone. Whichever OS, whichever brand, whichever security solution provider - the more popular they are, the better visible their mistakes will be.

As much as it would be fun to make jokes like "CrowdStroke", I'm not even particularly mad at the company (at this point - that might change when I hear about their QA process). And no, I'm not even mad at Windows, as explained in the pseudo-FAQ.

The ultimate hot take? If at all possible, don't rely on anything related to computers. Technical problems are caused by technical solutions.

I Just Figured Out What Elon Musk’s DOGE Really Is That it’s a protection racket should have been obvious all along.

Article by Slate's legal reporter, Dahlia Lithwick, developing the thesis that DOGE is, in essence, a protection racket. Doesn't seem like news exactly, but it's a cogent exploration of the theme.

Slate's "jump through hoops to read for free" model is grating on me today, so I'm just gonna copy the whole thing over.

**

Late last month, amid the utter chaos of Donald Trump’s first two weeks back in office, there was a revelatory moment during a press conference by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt that was intended ostensibly to explain Trump’s attempted, then rescinded, across-the-board budget freeze. During that presser, Leavitt tried to explain which services might come back online and how. Instead, she inadvertently revealed that what’s really been going on with these budget cuts is the widespread institutionalization of the sort of organized-crime approach that Trump has brought to every aspect of his professional, political, and presidential life.

In order to explain the very first effort to dismantle the federal government by way of impounding federal funds and shutting off the spigot for trillions of dollars across thousands of federal programs—funds already appropriated by Congress—​​Leavitt tried to calm the roiling waters around a spending freeze that was likely to halt funding to Head Start, foreign aid, HIV programs, Meals on Wheels, and other vital services. Leavitt tried to soothe these vital institutions and programs with the promise that anyone who was worried about their own parochial interests should just pick up a phone and call the incoming head of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, to ask for special favors and exemptions. As Leavitt described it, she had been in contact with Vought that very morning, “and he told me to tell all of you that the line to his office is open for other federal government agencies across the board, and if they feel that programs are necessary and in line with the president’s agenda, then the Office of Management and Budget will review those policies.”

The line struck me at the time as a strange and ominous admission: Sure, we have arbitrarily defunded the government as you have come to understand it, but just hop on the phone with the as-yet-unconfirmed OMB director (he has since been confirmed), plead your case, and he might just do you a little favor. In the blur of the will-they-won’t-they OMB memo rescission and the subsequent lawsuits, it was easy to miss that mobsters dole out services in precisely this fashion. Governments typically do not.

That certainly isn’t how any of this is meant to work. It’s how things worked during, say, the Renaissance, when you went with your rakish peasant hat in hand to the Medicis and asked them for special favors in exchange for your pony or your eldest daughter. It’s how things worked when you went to the Cosa Nostra to ask for protection for you and your family in exchange for some portion of what was in your cash register. When we think of the DOGE takeover of the federal government solely as an act of smash-and-grab vandalism, we are just slightly missing the endgame, which is to sell us back those stolen goods and services in exchange for our loyalty. That is, of course, a protection racket. And it’s precisely the point.

This whole racket of theirs has already begun to affect all of us. On Monday, a Delta Airlines flight made an emergency landing upside down at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, a few short hours after hundreds of firings at the Federal Aviation Administration, the most recent in a string of stunning plane crashes in recent weeks. The pink slips were reportedly sent out “without cause nor based on performance or conduct,” with the emails originating “from an ‘exec order’ Microsoft email address”—not a government email address. Whether it is Elon Musk or DOGE or a postpubescent coder firing the probationary staff at the FAA in some sense matters far less than the fact that a team from Musk’s SpaceX spent Monday visiting the Air Traffic Control System Command Center, in Virginia, to assist in overhauling the system. U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced on Musk’s platform X that Musk’s DOGE team would “plug in” to the FAA to help “upgrade our aviation system.” I’m pretty sure that when the guy breaking your storefront windows is the same guy selling you replacement plate glass, you are not, in fact, witnessing the free market doing its best work.

In one sense, the protection-racket model works so well in the present moment because it also appeals to the foundational NIMBY ethos that holds that cutting everyone else’s government services is fine, so long as your narrow interests are protected. The raft of tweets, posts, and articles about the Trump-loving folks who absolutely support the MAGA vandalism of the federal government but never believed that it would come for them is its own small carnival of leopards and face-eatings. But isn’t the really chilling part not that they are surprised, but that they believe they can still find a way to be exempted from it? And of course they should be exempt. But they should also not have been targeted for budget cuts and cruelty in the first place. And they assuredly should not be forced to throw themselves on the mercy of the state to be made whole for their losses.

In heartbreaking recent reporting by the Washington Post about Luke Graziani, a disabled Army veteran terminated Friday, when he was just five weeks from completing his probation year at the Bronx Veterans Affairs hospital, two details stood out to me: When he printed out his termination letter, blaming his dismissal on poor performance, and took it to his supervisor, Graziani’s boss immediately promised to submit a request for exemption. “You’re critical staff,” Graziani recalled his boss saying. “We’re going to try.”

It didn’t end there, notes the Post.Graziani, who is 45 and has four children, “had believed until this weekend that his veteran status would protect his job. He served 20 years in the Army, first as a supply specialist and then in public affairs, deploying for two tours in Iraq and another two in Afghanistan before retiring in 2023.” So he sat down and wrote a letter to the new Veterans Affairs secretary, Douglas A. Collins, who had vowed in his confirmation hearing, “We will not stop until we succeed on behalf of the men and women who have worn the uniform.” He wanted Collins to give him his job back. Collins, it seems, has not yet replied. But might we agree that nobody should have to be put in the position of selling themselves back to their employers any more than they should be buying the spark plugs that the government just stripped from their own cars?

In the event that this is not all perfectly transparent, consider the tragic case of New York Mayor Eric Adams, whose continued time in office stands for no august legal principle save for the oldest one in the book: I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine. (That’s neither legal nor a principle, by the way.) It is how power works when power acts outside the boundaries of the law—you are spared bad consequences the very moment you fall in line, and by falling in line, you become part of the machinery that oppresses those who cannot or will not pay for the same protections.

It should be axiomatic, for anyone who actually flies commercial airlines, drinks water, gets diseases, and sends their children to schools, that most people will need those things to be provided by the government. The current plan is to ensure that you wake up in the morning and read Elon Mail, drink Elon Water, and attend Elon School while you rely on SpaceX and Tesla for all your needs, and you will pay for all that using the financial instrument of Elon’s choosing.

For anyone who has spent hours on the phone, navigating the byzantine forms and rules of the modern health care, educational, and student loan systems in immense frustration, please be prepared. Whatever else those entities did, they didn’t lead with “What can you give me in exchange?” They do now.
