I've had a 90mm Questar for decades and it's still the finest thing I've ever owned. Owning a Questar is kind of like owning an Aston-Martin or a Curta calculator; it seems like a product too miraculous to actually exist.
Your project is limited to quota ceilings. Those can be increased if you spend enough money on GCP.

AWS has a similar thing.
I always thought this was first used to increase the likelihood that the teller would have to make change for amounts paid with bills thus reducing the likelihood of dishonest employees pocketing the money rather than punching it into the cash register and make change.
screen (multi-user, persistent)

+ bitlbee (XMPP, ICQ, AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Twitter. OTR built in)

+ gpg (on-the-fly encrypted config and log directories)

it's a hacker's solution but it's not complicated to put together when you know your way around those applications.
Of course, extracting the entered PIN is trivial to do with a covertly modified terminal. (skimming) Short of the card being stolen, that shouldn't let anyone access your account, assuming the crypto implementation is sound. Likewise, the card without the PIN is designed to be equally useless, though support for legacy payment systems partially undermines all of this. I suspect a modified terminal which records entered PINs and clones the magnetic strips would let you withdraw cash from the victim's account via Cirrus/Visa Plus.
The ironic part is that no matter how humorous the article is, it's accurate.
It sounds like they're actually saying they see Linux as a conduit for cheating and they don't see enough upside to be worth that risk.
Only one of my cards actually has raised numbers and its about to expire, so will probably get a completely flat one that replaces it as well. 2 of my cards are tap only, the mag stripe is gone - they are also store-specific cards, so that might have something to do with it.

Master card said they will start phasing out mag strip in 2024.

Soon enough tap/dip will be the only way.
"CPU Limit Reached" and without a single comment.
This is a painfully absurd statement. You aren't doing bitcoin any favors by disingenuously suggesting that it cannot be stolen; everyone knows it can be, and faulting the victim for not properly securing their operating system (a feat that even billion dollar corporations often fail to achieve) is exactly the wrong type of message to be broadcasting to the masses.
Please forward to anyone giving a talk! Also, I'd love for professors/educators to start using it.
> Plus, it has made putting on sweaters so much easier, and I never have to worry about helmet hair.

I had a shaved head for a while, and the freedom of not having strands of really strong thin material attached to the top of your head was amazing. It is comparable to not having to wear a backpack.

I went back to normal hair to enjoy it while it lasts though.
So if I had kids and they were white and they pushed this on them in grade school, my kids should walk away feeling guilty for who they are? That’s some twisted logic sadly with how the US is treating this.
> I had a girl cancel a date when she learned I was balding (she explicitly told a friend this) so there’s a reason men feel bad about it.

Dodged a bullet there!
> US used affirmative action to address sexism in the profession.

I'm not sure what changed, but its seen as something that a career minded middle class girl _should_ do. it certainly wasn't any sort of legal discrimination.

I'm not sure of the exact stats, but the slim majority of first year doctors in the UK are women
> If you are not a scientist who has actually conducted one of these studies; if you are not intimately familiar with the methodologies and the math techniques used in the analysis; if you've only ever read the headline and maybe an abstract of a study- then please don't give advice to anyone on the topic. Please don't spread "information" that X is better than Y.

I'd say this advice doesn't really go far enough. I'm not a scientist but I have read a number of these studies and the biggest takeaway is that in many cases effect sizes are really low and it's hard to say whether these effects are real or the result of some hidden uncontrolled variable. This applies, at a minimum, to breastfeeding v. formula, and also to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Back to sleep has real and significant effects. Screen time's harm is severely overhyped given the quality of the evidence we have available, but too much sugar is definitely bad for you.

My advice to new parents is basically that in most cases we don't have good evidence for one thing being much better than another. As far as food, baby should have formula or breast milk, but which one doesn't matter all that much. As far as sleeping, the sleep area should be firm and free of blankets, but as far as I'm concerned the evidence about where baby should sleep is minimal. I'm not aware of any strong evidence that sleep training has an effect other than teaching the baby to sleep.

One other commonality I see in a lot of this stuff is there is zero consideration for the costs that the various treatments impose on parents, and particularly on the mother. If breastfeeding gives junior a 0.5% increase in IQ, is that worth a year of suffering and untold hours spent feeding? That's a value judgment, for sure, but it seems to be left out of the equation entirely when people are giving advice to mothers.

Look no futher than this: https://archive.is/NCWmz (Wolfenstein 3d iPhone development By John Carmack, Technical Director, Id Software)

To be exact: "The developers came back and said it would take two months and exceed their budget.

Rather than having a big confrontation over the issue, I told them to just send the project to me and I would do it myself. Cass Everitt had been doing some personal work on the iPhone, so he helped me get everything set up for local iPhone development here, which is a lot more tortuous than you would expect from an Apple product. As usual, my off the cuff estimate of "Two days!" was optimistic, but I did get it done in four, and the game is definitely more pleasant at 8x the frame rate.

And I had fun doing it."

Trump being on Twitter is good for business. Everyday is another car crash and they’re the news station.

Trump lost so the best way to maximize attention/profit is to shake things up on Trump’s way out. Ie start applying the rules to him with enough time for him to react to it before the end of his presidency. This seems like a highly calculated move with only one motive, and it isn’t the good of the people.
I'm facing the same problems. All the people in my (real life) social circle are using WhatsApp. All of my friends are calling me crazy that I don't have Instagram, so talking about alternative messaging apps is probably not going to work. I think this is true for most people in the western culture. I value my privacy, but the struggle is to big for me.

Maybe an open-source protocol, like how e-mail works, could be a solution for this problem. That you can choose your messaging apps and that they can interfere with each other, like email clients.
Regardless of your opinion of this comment, it's still worthwhile to have the option of "staying with WhatsApp" in the poll.
Of course "not giving a damn" counters an argument about endangering the people around you.

But anyway your comment seems to be a sentimental defense of some sorts, so I guess it doesn't really matter
I'm sure he does want that but he's not entitled to it. If he wants to use Twitter he should follow the same ToS as everyone else. If he doesn't like them he can use something else.
Not only Europe and UK, LATAM is also pretty much governed by WA. I remember one time I had a visit of some folks from Canada, they were very surprised that we used it as our main chat/communication app. When I asked why, they said "we don't hear from it (referring to WA) that much, we all just use iMessage" I guess in their context/community most people own iPhones.
I didn't downvote you but you did not provide any proof that police is a) overwhelmingly Trump supporters and b) would shirk their responsibility because of that.

And you posted irrelevant links as if they somehow support your argument.
There shouldn't be a profit motive attached to basic services like electricity, policing (private prisons), or medicine. These functions are best handled by government because they should be services available fairly and equitably to every single citizen. Capitalist profit seeking necessarily excludes some individuals or generates perverse incentives (private prisons).
By virtue of what she accomplished, she is noteworthy. If she is found and expresses no wish to communicate on the topic, then it would become harassment.
Thanks for the update, progress! I'll dig into the last bit more, I don't Discord but I'm sure it's over on reddit or that other place people blog for coin (it's been a minute since last I was in this game). Much appreciated.
My $0.02 for a good Thai restaurant on the East Coast, crazy as it may seem, is to check and see if they have a picture of the late Thai monarch Rama IX displayed prominently near the coat-check/hostess station/bar. I don't know what it is, but the Thai places who have his picture up are invariably better quality than the ones that don't.

But yeah, Thai food on the West Coast was reliably better.
Worked at Best Buy, same exact experience.
> “Auto-GCAS continuously compares a prediction of the aircraft’s trajectory against a terrain profile generated from onboard terrain elevation data. If the predicted trajectory touches the terrain profile, the automatic recovery is executed by the Auto GCAS autopilot. The automatic recovery maneuver consists of an abrupt roll-to-upright and a nominal 5-G pull until terrain clearance is assured.”

https://sofrep.com/fightersweep/in-the-seat-with-agcas-those...

It predicts a trajectory. Either that trajectory looks like it'll hit the ground or not. If it doesn't, then there's no need to intervene.
That sounds very familiar!

There was essentially no security on those Econet networks. If you had a copy of the executable that could read and write the memory of a remote computer, you were good to go.

I remember I had a print-out of a hex dump of the REMOTE command and used it with exactly that key capture attack. I just typed in the executable then told the teacher I'd forgotten my password and needed it reset. I watched remotely as he logged on to his admin account.

The next day, all the BBC micros in the lab played Captain Pugwash when they started: very beep-heavy given the ability of a BBC to create sound.

Eventually I was caught re-entering the hex dump and my printout was confiscated. I didn't have another copy.
Considering how faint some passengers have looked with my boy-racing in the past, I suspect the G limit for some people is much much lower :).
Let me restate a little more succinctly: I'm asking about what the NSA has done that's comparable to "secret lists of enemies of the state that public sector employers agree to not hire" or "attempting to drive a political figure to suicide". Implicit in my question is a "null hypothesis" that such things have not happened.

Spying for economic advantage is not new, nor unique to the USA, and not in the least comparable to the examples I listed. It's not even in the same category.

People spying on their girlfriends or love interests happens a lot more outside the NSA than from within, and is not comparable.

A woman was "affected" by being approached and asked about doing research on pressure cookers after a pressure cooker bomb killed people? What does this have to do with NSA activity, and how is that comparable?

Parallel Construction also exists to protect secret informants for quite some time, and the justification is obvious: not everything law enforcement knows needs to be shared with the defense and their friends during a trial.

This is off of the original topic, but yes, warrantless searches are sometimes unconstitutional, and while the framing fathers had a lot of foresight, I don't think they could have foreseen the state of the world as it is now. Falling back on "300 years ago some really smart guys wrote this into law" is not a good justification for something being a bad thing. Some things in the constitution have been reinterpreted by courts and others have been nullified by amendments since then. Redefining "search" to be different from "retention" is not the most surprising interpretation of the law I've seen.

Please list an example that is comparable to the misdeeds Assange compares those of the NSA to.

I wouldn't care.

Also, it is very bad form to ask since the answer provides no additional legitimate information, but could be seen as a probe into your health or age.
> That book made me dislike Tsutomu Shimomura immensely.

Why?
It may help him open his eyes more and appreciate ways of living that don't fall in line with the common American view. You can be a great genius and still a weirdo!
> I guess one benefit of Mirage's use of the OCaml module system is that we can experiment with multiple deployment approaches and use whichever one works best in practice. So there's nothing stopping me from running a Mirage application on Linux with raw sockets rather than as a Xen unikernel.

That insight is spot on. The reason we're spending so much time on the clean-slate MirageOS stack is that it's a codebase that will last the test of time. It makes it possible to build code that's more future proof against changes in deployment environments. It's Xen/KVM/vSphere today, JavaScript and Docker tomorrow, and probably Unix sockets forever, all from the same codebase. Our use of OCaml + functional programming also had a good trajectory with practical formal verification, so the future of the stack is exciting.
You're blaming the students. Is it a possibility that the fault lies with you?
What you're missing there is maintenance.

I live off grid, I have nothing but reliable systems here. Stuff breaks every single day. Nature happens - we get lightning strikes, floods, fires, freezing temperatures, droughts - stuff breaks.

When we moved here, some stuff had been done by the previous owners. No plans or anything, just "hunt the burst water line under the concrete" and all that fun.

The major advantage of DIY is that you end up being able to repair your own stuff, to know how it works, to know where it is.

If you have an off-grid home that you can't maintain, you aren't going to last long there.
i had an impression that firefox was about red panda. From where did the fox came? fox in firefox?
Surely it was a reasonable reply to: "in fact, maybe it's almost a uniquely American thing"?

I also found it a useful comment in that I now know the correct term for this sort of thing (Veblen goods).
Would be interesting to see the overall social balance or GINI for north Korea with reasonable data. A huge proportion of the population has no food and there is a difference between a flatscreen 30" and second hand Chinese 16" TV from the 80s but they mkfhr both appear as 'having a TV' in the statistics, so I would be careful to draw conclusions from this.

LTE in most places - we get 80Mbs down and 30 up here, and we are a long way from anywhere - having to use our own mast on a hilltop to get a signal.
Beautifully written and expressing most of the concerns that bother me in today's world.

Well, yes, web browsers are possible on the Mac. They are probably the most commonly downloaded type of Mac app.

Which begs my original question: what good is a "Mac app store" that can't accommodate Mac apps?

Apple isn't alone in this, of course. The Windows 8 app store (Marketplace, or whatever it's called these days) is just as limited... But really, if the most apt comparison for the MAS is the Windows 8 store, that further illustrates just how badly Apple has blown it.
I read Antifragile + The Black Swan once every year to remind me of this - and everytime I read something I think about confirmation bias and silent evidence. they are not tough concepts, but the human brain isn't really weird to think that way - unfortunately (as talked about in Thinking Fast and Slow also)

Taleb, for all his faults, is really good at calling out people for scientific research that contains conflicts of interest - he has been calling out GMO related stuff for the past two or three months on Twitter, before than he became famous for doing it in Finance
Boosted or unboosted is way too simplistic and one dimensional to explain something as complex as autoimmune dysfunction.
Regarding editing (and I think you make a good point that ease of editing is important), I often find myself frustrated with WYSIWYG editors that make such a mess of the markup that you end up modifying the raw code anyway. Ghost and GitHub Pages look like they take the right approach by making Markdown the default and not attempting to hide it behind a GUI.
Assuming that people are against any change at all seems like quite the strawman. Perhaps those people support building some change, perhaps they just want to ensure that public transit, utilities, road infrastructure can handle the added density.

Very few people are are against any new growth in cities. We could likely have a more productive discussion if we framed it around the optimal rate of growth of a city.
That's for running end user applications that rely on already trained neural nets.
It sounds impossible, but I've read the abstract of this article which claims to provide a cryptographic proof of a physical object (nuclear warhead): https://www.pnas.org/content/113/31/8618

I'm not sure if this is possible to extrapolate to prove an energy generation process... But, it's exciting that a physical material can be cryptographically proven over a network (if I'm reading this abstract correctly).
To add to this, there is work done in non-US offices which is not offshoring. A lot of companies have local products in the non-US countries that they operate. These features might have originated in US or one of the western countries, but eventually feature development of these local products moves to the countries it serves.
Autonomy is going to require a lot more than a CAN bus & some video interfaces. The specific sensors matter. The framerates matter. The field of view & mount points matter. The specific compute platform matters -- and it certainly shouldn't run on an Android or iPhone without automotive-rated components, realtime guarantees, etc.

All of these things argue strongly for a wholistic vehicle design rather than an aftermarket afterthought.
A good idea in theory that hasn't seem to have taken off in any major way is designing a PoW that is mobile device optimised so that the consensus can be driven by idle phones that are charging etc., Major problem being how can you ensure that the miners are indeed an idle device instead of a dedicated server farm. I have a feeling PoS such as in ADA or ETH 2.0 will likely emerge as the front runner in the next decade (by usage, BTC will likely hold top spot in total market cap for a while to come)
Facebook and Twitter don't go out of their way to support conspiracies and are not marketed specifically towards those that consume it.

Fact is people whom want to believe these things heavily gravitated to Parlor and call Facebook and Twitter bad/evil.
From the screenshots this looks quite straightforward, which is a failing of most other software of this type. I'm quite curious to try it out.
It's cool tech, but I think Comma's quickly running out of room for commercial success here because a single camera can only take you so far. With GM rolling out Supercruise onto the new Bolts next year, it's hard to see how these guys last for more than another couple of years. Best case for them is to get acquired by a desperate laggard, but that's not really a great outcome if you're an engineer at Comma.
One of my university professors taught us this incidet, along with a number of other failures, as an ethics lesson. It shook me and I think of it whenever I see automated medical machines, self-driving cars, etc

I'm a former Amazon SDE who interned with IBM, and graduated from the University of Oregon. I can show publicly released projects from my time at Amazon and can talk about my role and the challenges therein. I also spent 8 years in public speaking on a nationally-ranked level, so I'm comfortable working directly with people.
I'm eager to learn on the fly, so I'm willing to pick up any languages, frameworks, & domain-specific knowledge needed to ramp up on projects.
