I think you and other commentors are being generous in assuming there was a spec to review and that the work was done by a contractor.

I've seen lots of organizations try to save a buck by extending a previously existing system with in-house labor after the original contractor asked for more money to do the change. I would bet that the original contractor (if they're still involved with the project) hasn’t seen that screen because it's some homebrew patch put in by whichever administrator babysits the machines for the state government.

The problem with organizations maintaining their own rogue patches is that, if those organizations had people compentent enough to make changes well, they wouldn't have hired a contractor or bought off the shelf in the first place.

Is it not true that Basic Authentication requires TLS due to transporting credentials as plain text but other variations encrypt the credentials at a higher level before being put on the wire? In that case why is TLS a necessity?
For sure.

(If you've never written a big complex project alone for your own enjoyment rather than for someone else / as a resume padder, I highly recommend it. It's freeing to write code that you wouldn't want to put on a resume and couldn't sell.)

> Allowing cars to achieve and maintain speed increases efficiency without impacting pedestrian walk times. Compared to this, a system where roads are shared does waste energy, time, and economic value.

Probably, but "energy, time, and economic value" isn't necessarily an unalloyed good that must be striven for. There are societal costs to the decisions we've made.

> "Delete all production orders for period"

Hah! I built one of those once! The (very abbreviated) conversation went something like this:

"I need a way to bulk delete orders."

"Umm... Are you sure? I can't think of a good reason to delete a bunch of orders in production."

"Yes. We absolutely need this."

"Ok..."

A short time later

"Why does it ask me to confirm? Just make it do it."

"Sure..."

A week later, after restoring from backup

"Remove the bulk delete function. I don't know why we even have that!"

I don't think it was winnable.

Based off of experience in Korea, US didn't want China to enter the war. To avoid this, the US couldn't commit to full-scale of invasion of North Vietnam, which I believe would have been necessary for victory. Without a full scale invasion, they thought that they could 'tickle' the enemy into submission by aerial bombing of the North combined with ground-army defense of the south. I believe they were over optimistic.

It's easy to say "yeah, if the US had more manpower and/or crossed into North Vietnam and/or used different tactics we could have won!" and maybe that's true, but proponents of this view often fail to consider the entry of China as a possible outcome.
I don't agree, for critical actions such as this it needs some level of protection that can be handled by trained professionals. e.g. You do not want to make it easy to send a nuclear bomb, but you also need to make sure that if there's ever a need for it, it can be done quickly by trained professionals.
The SEC is warning people so they don't get scammed. Good for them.

Their actions aren't unwarranted because there's been a lot of scams. You're asking for an open market so that people can be defrauded.

I work in and regularly travel through towns and cities that have various streets and junctions marked with the "shared space" designation for about five years now. Said towns and cities have furthermore had pedestrian precincts for decades.

Coventry's plans for pedestrian precincts go back to World War 2; it has had one since 1953. Exeter beat it by 1 year.

2nd this Eufy robovac. I looked at the others, and since Eufy is Anker, went with them because of better service and battery life.

I don't think any of the others, including the 4x priced Roomba are any better at navigating my house. The sensors don't seem to work well on black floors, and there are places you will have to block so you don't have it getting stuck often. Once you've figured those two things out in your house, it's push button vacuuming with the $200 Eufy.
I didn't pick the cheapest plan, but the closest. There is a cheaper DNA plan but that's limited to 50 mbits, while T-Mo's service is not bandwidth limited. Also, Globetel seems to be what we'd call, in the U.S., an MVNO (it uses Telia's network). There are U.S. MVNOs with cheaper prices too.

Well, it's available in the sense that all federal court filings are available at a fee through PACER; it's not linked in the article, nor available anywhere I can readily find other than PACER or pay sites that charge more than PACER for documents plus a monthly fee.

If you’d like to provide a link, that would actually contribute a lot to the discussion. Suggesting that it's out there somewhere does not.
That was the game with TW. Cut your service to the bare minimum, then they would offer you some year long special at 1/2 the cost of the regular rates.

You could even do this over the phone most of the time. I would call and tell them the $80 they were charging me was to much that I wanted Internet Basics (or whatever they were calling the deal they had made with the city to offer an extremely inexpensive tier). Frequently they would initially deny such a thing existed, then they would transfer me to someone who would be able to setup the $10 a month plan.

From that point they would make all kinds of incredible offers. They would even send me mailers for basic cable for free if I added home phone service for $12 a month (or some such). 12 Months later they would start to slowly raise the rates (I guess trying to apply the boiling frog theory) and the offers would cease.

Apparently spectrum doesn't want to play these games.
This was tried on a fairly large scale in Milton Keynes, a new planned city in the UK founded in 1967. The traffic grid is high-speed (and roundabout-heavy), and there was an extensive network of grade-separated pedestrian and cycle lanes.

The results are... mixed. Some people love the place, but the grade separated cycle paths are not popular. Well worth looking at, if this is an area you're interested in.
"Good enough for government work". The lowest bidder, etc.

I have seen a large number of government web sites, and most of them, especially at the state level (I am talking about US states), have a horrible UX.
I think it's a bit more nuanced - it's a question of reward. If you know there is hard+boring problem that needs to be done, the reward pops up immediately - the problem doesn't look great on CV, so it's a net negative for your future employeability comparing to (shallow) "fun" problems; is completion of such a hard task going to be accompanied by significant equity or bonus and can you trust manager/CEO promises about it (99% you can't), or at best you can hope for a pat on the back and not being kicked out of the company once the "boring" part is finished and is making money for the owners that don't want to share anything with you? These things happen way too often in our business...
In France, it is illegal to jaywalk, however is almost never punished, and if it is, the fine is ridiculously small (4 euros).

Pedestrians still have right of way in almost every situation. Also note that bicycles are vehicles just like cars, and they must obey the same rules.
I mainly use !g for the "stupid" queries, actually. The ones where I would actually prefer Google's AI second-guessing me. Also "local"-type searches. I don't voluntarily give Google my location[0] but if I type the city name too, it works fine. Actually I just tried and DDG does it just as well and gives a map and address too, so I may go for that next time.

Except for lyrics, DDG is quite good at that and often even presents the proper "zero click result" straight away (though usually the lyrics are cut off at a point and I still need to click).

On the other hand, the vast majority of my DDG queries are !bangs for other sites, because I know what site will have the page I'm looking for. Usually !w for Wikipedia (and the other wikipedia stuff like !wnl and !wt), after that probably one of the image searches !gi/!yi/!bi, then !imdb, !discogs and !whosampled. Oh and occasionally !hn, of course :)

I believe that DDG would have had a lot harder time getting as successful as it is today if Google had retained its old "AND" search engine behaviour (as explained above, keywords used to have an implied "AND" between them).

[0] I only log in to these types of big "social" things using a private tab, for GMail and to get my personal YouTube suggestions and subscriptions.

I took classes from lojbab when I was 16 or so waaay back in the 90s in Vienna. It seemed like a cool techie thing to do for a college freshman.

Now and then I look into it, where it is, etc. One thing I could not get past was that the language is ugly. It’s very hard on the ears - I say this speaking English, Japanese, and some Spanish and have taken a few years of Mandarin, so perhaps it’s a taste thing, but I’ve heard lots of people say this over the years and I agree with it.
0.35 kg of particulate contamination removed per day; you rounded incorrectly, but the rest of your math is right.

There's the issue that it's probably removing nearly all of the particulates from the air it actually processes, say over 90%, which works out to 2.1 kg. It doesn't reduce the PM2.5 level in the area by 90%, but only by 15%, because it's only able to process some 16% of the air in its area during whatever the relevant time interval is, which seems like a good match to your 10%-per-day.

However, you got the volume of that area wrong: it's 10⁹ m³, not 10⁸ m³. That suggests that the natural lifetime of PM2.5 particulates is closer to a week than a day.

As for jhugg's question about how the filters are cleaned, a common way to remove particulates from flue gas or indoor spaces is using electrostatic precipitators, which are flat plates at a high voltage. The voltage sticks the particulates to the plates, and when the coating is thick enough, you close the valves to stop the gas flow and vibrate the plates to unstick the dust, and it falls out the bottom of the filter into a bucket (or, say, a truck). Other systems clean the plates with water (either spray or immersion) and possibly soap or lye.

Dialog blindness is very real and problematic.

They could consider a different UI response between a drill and active alert. Since drills are the majority of their workload they'd get dialog blindness to the drill confirmation, and then you'd design the active alert confirmation to be a-typical of the drill (for example a different color dialog, and have an "I agree" checkbox on the active, but none of the drill).

> Jaywalking laws would have happened sooner or later.

There are no jaywalking laws in the UK. So I don't think that's true.
yes, jaywalking laws are ok on higher speed roads.

my one pet peeve around that is that most californians don't respect the rule that any intersection of two city streets is a crosswalk, whether marked as such or not, and pedestrians crossing at a corner have the right of way. as soon as they start walking, cars must stop for them, even on larger streets (most drivers don't know/rememeber this and zoom dangerously close by).
"Limited access" roads already exist. These are the places for unlimited speeds in autonomous vehicles. Everyplace else it should be assumed that cyclists and pedestrians are in the mix, and even if traffic signals for cars become obsolete, those cars will still have to enable bikes and pedestrians to move without joining the v2v network. You might be able to provide a safety advantage to cyclists and pedestrians carrying beacons, but you'll never be able to count on it, so city traffic will have to remain within speeds that keep un-instrumented pedestrians and cyclists safe.
You legitimately made gains on those coins though and in this country we currently have a capital gains tax.

The 'coin part' already has a name and it's not a new innovation.

Large part of financial innovation in the last century is based on the idea that is now called coin. It's called derivative.

If you have something valuable that can be traded, it can be made into derivative and traded in existing markets. Practically anything, physical things, electricity, indexes, future events or prices, insurances, storage capacity, contracts, mortgages, price differences, ... only the sky is the limit.

New technological solutions can hopefully expand this existing trend but it's already very efficient.

Not really, first of all when SEC warns it is usually when people already actually get scammed. Second - if my father kept telling me "son, don't go there" I wouldn't know why, and how to distinguish safe places from unsafe.

All I mean is that by scarring you don't protect people from being defrauded. And I wouldn't care if I'd like to see people being defrauded, but in fact I do care, and don't find the "scarring/warning approach" to be working.
So, technically, this is not a "design system". Design systems provides code and implementation to use.

This is... really poor. I went ahead and purchased the system to see what it entailed and while it is fairly thorough, it's nothing really unique nor does it provide ready-made components for use.

You're basically paying $39 for the file setup/template and expected to fill in the components or elements yourself. Essentially you have to do all the work anyway so you're better off saving the money and building your system on your own anyway. There isn't anything in the purchased file that is all that helpful unless you're an absolute product design noob with no understanding of how systems work (in which case you should do that research instead of purchasing anyway).

>In Europe you have to demonstrate knowing traffic signs before you get a driver's license.

I'm unaware of any state in which you don't have to do the same to get a learner's permit.

Test questions are a mix of obscure regulatory stuff (e.g. "what is the penalty for a 1 time DUI if the offender is age X and they have had Y speeding tickets in the last $X months?"), identifying signage (e.g. "a do not enter sign is what shape and colors?") and describing the appropriate action in a particular situation.

>They usually are graphics, not text like in US.

Literacy is technically optional to read signs in the US as well. Only auxiliary information is communicated via text. You'd just spend a lot of time waiting around when you could take a right on red or do a lot less sitting at red lights depending on whether you acknowledge the presence of signs you can't read.

Driving is more important to being a functioning member of society so in general we make getting a license easier and don't bend you over quite so hard if you do things wrong on the road. It varies a lot by state.
I don't think even modern day smartphones are fast enough to capture objects traveling at hypersonic speeds. Just a guess, I may be wrong here.
At least in England, you prosecute them for obstructing traffic. Even if you have a right of way, you have a right to cross the road, not sit down in it.
And in stopped traffic its normal to cross normal roads (ie not dual carriageways ring roads ).

There is also evidence that doing away with the aggressive use of traffic furniture to separate cars and people leads to safer driving. This also reduces the risk of people being crushed against railings and so on.

I love utopian language communities. I finished out the Duolingo Esperanto course. And of course, a Lojbanist would tell you that Esperanto is too Euro-centric to be truly international, and not nearly as linguistically precise as Lojban.

In other words, Esperanto is the worse-is-better universal language. Unfortunately for both Esperanto and Lojban, English is worse-is-better than both.

In an age where LSD and meditation have been shown to increase brain connectivity and cerebral density (respectively), I look now to use the next ~two decades of my life for very demanding projects. So some questions, and some insights. Firstly, my discoveries:

Your neurochemistry is of paramount importance (second only to your attitude, unless your body/brain is totally depleted and then it's primary). Neurochems that your body releases during cascade interference (with things such as MDMA and LSD) are not ingested directly to the body, no, neurochems actually come to your brain through digestion of what you've eaten, making your diet paramount. Your diet and a healthy gut biome ("party in your belly" as I like to call it) depend on probiotics and yogurt to keep your intestinal bacteria awesome. Subsequently, what you eat will become excellent amino acids, and those can subsequently become the perfect neurochems for your brain, thinking, loving, feeling, seeing, etc.

Questions: Favorite natural supplements? Favorite prescription alertness enhancers?

Can I eat Modafinil every day for the next 20 years and have no huge detriment to my body?

Can I somehow monitor the status of my body and organs without going to a doctor, to see if there's any unusually excessive or speedy wear and tear?
