Samsung S9+ interfering with my MacBook Pro's display
I went to go answer a Duo call from a friend and rested my phone on my MacBook like I have always done with my 2013 MacBook Pro. But this time I got a nice surprise, the display started going haywire. My assumption is that it is due to the exposed ribbon cable in the hinge, which was directly under one of the antenna lines on the S9+. Can anyone break down the science of it?

What does ethics training even look like?

I have a set of ethics, probably mostly derived from my upbringing and environment.

Would a module and a few lectures at college change my ethics? I don't see how it could...
$300? Wow, that's crazy. Curious whereabouts you were looking. Highest I saw when I was looking was $150 (around oct last year).
It is rapacious and immoral, for sure. But it's also dumb, in that a) it ignores the whole reason society created the idea of businesses in the first place, and b) its inherent short-termism makes it ineffective at accomplishing its stated goal.

The reason we invented commerce and later corporations is that we can create more value for each other than we can create for ourselves on our own. Systemically, businesses exist to create more value for their customers than the business extracts in cash. Profit is a side-effect of serving customers, not the purpose. In practice, almost anybody hauling out the "increase shareholder value" line is justifying some sort of short-term thinking that increases cash returns at the expense of long-term assets like loyal customers and happy, highly-trained workers.

It's a dumb idea. And don't take it from me; the article has many famous capitalists saying so. Further searches will lead to many others saying why, including many business school professors.
Okay, sorry man. Due to me being a huge computer geek, I refer to most calculators as. "desk calculators," due to my experience with old technology and Unix software. Let's just say that I am part of the earliest Gen Z's. (I came from a second world country, so, maybe that's why I have more experience with older tech.)

I am curious when people mention this: Who literally sells user's data ?
I think it's open to interpretation.
That's also quite possible, but how could we ever know if it's true? If he's being coerced or influenced in some way, he wouldn't be allowed to say anything about it.

I do get the impression he's probably allowed to speak freely (as long as he's not too publicly critical of Russia or Russian interests), but it's impossible to know. Considering he's a potentially amazing propaganda asset for the Russian government, it's not hard to think they might want to put him up to some things.

Google: "Being evil is now officially an option."
The data wasn't too big to fit in memory, but rather defragmentation meant that the amount of free memory available was less than the amount of contiguous space, which will be an issue in any dynamically allocating system that doesn't translate pointers.

That said, bubble sort is only n^2 and computers are fast. The real solution was that defrag was an alternative to crashing, so it didn't matter how long it took. Calling it meant a bug report needed to be filed.

The partitioning features in PG10 and PG11 were also supported by said extensions, but now they're batteries-included features. The GP is implying that, as long as they're eating the lunch of these extensions, they should eat the whole lunch.

(Which I personally agree with, given that you almost never get these extension—or support for arbitrary extensions—on Postgres DBaaS hosts. Upstreaming a feature = making it available on these hosts.)
Hello, i'm the author of the map. Sarai has been suggested to have existed before the mongols arrived, and was a strategic location on the route between europe and asia before the height of the "north" northern silk road.

The reason for why Arkhangelsk is there has been explained by earlier replies.

Names are misspelled. Sometimes it was my fingers that moved too fast, and sometimes i've experienced sources spelling names differently.

If i have omitted significant trade routes i would be happy to receive some notice.

This is a continuous passion project of mine, and i'm happy to improve it. I have already gotten a lot of good feedback, all from cities being placed in the wrong order to misspellings.

The purpose of the map is to make it interesting and engaging for people to look at. It's also meant as a road map to navigate the trade/communication networks of the old world that you otherwise could only get from overly general maps. It's a mammoth task, and i appreciate all help i can get.

This new methodology is generally a pretty terrible way of dealing with user authentication.

Device Profiling

Facial Recognition

Voice Audio Recognition

I mean, christ, eBay has some niche concerns with fraud, but this really has no place across most of the internet, whether it’s “already happening” or not.

Google already tries to profile my device and fails miserably at doing so, frequently locking me out, because Google thinks it knows how many laptops I own and have access to.

Authentic audio is a laughable idea. A: Just look at transcription, B: Replay attacks will probably be trivial, C: Vocal dopplegangers and electronic modulation are kind of easy to utilize and forge authenticity with; imitation is harder to notice than achieve.

Face authentication is not only hackable, it’s intrusive, in that I don’t want systems taking pictures of my face. Foibles aside, machines will probably miss uncanny valley deception (static sculptures, photos, video, puppets), nevermind algorithmic hacks that poke holes in training data learning gaps.

Ebay probably needs to guard against fraud, but not with some of the the laziest machine-learning hacks currently available. Using sly hacks to strengthen bold/cute assumptions doesn’t make anything more secure. These are hacks of convenience, not security.

Passwords work, and dumb users and determined adversaries will always be a plentiful problem. Can we just admit that a lot of what happens on the internet simply isn’t important, and doesn’t demand high security, and then stop treating it like the blood of one’s first-born is needed to create an account or use it?

They day eBay kills its passwords is the day I leave eBay and never come back. Is it really that hard to run a website that already has the established infrastructure to maintain user credentials? This is just colossal laziness from their devs trying to outsource basic business responsibilities.
Mirrors? No.

Air conditioning? Yes. On longer drives, the positioning of the sun greatly determines whether or not my AC is running. Radio stations also are frequently changed, as is volume. If someone is talking to me in the passenger's seat, I instinctively turn down the volume of the radio for example.

I personally prefer physical buttons for these various tasks. Physical buttons are always there. I don't have to look at the screen to ensure that I'm on the "correct app" or whatever before trying to fiddle with the AC or volume.
Dude, that's actually pretty awesome! But I wouldn't repeat it too much, cause a broken Mac screen is a sad Mac screen.
I still find it hard to get a php ajax form to work despite tinkering with code for over 10 years. I can;t imagine trying to code an entire app when getting a form to work takes hours. guess some people learn faster than others
Methinks the enumeration of "Lisp's essential features" a tad short. 1. Coding JS quite a bit these days, I greatly miss every form returning a value. 2. Python's lambda is just sad, and GvR keeps threatening to remove even that. And people, please, once and for all, 3. those parentheses and where we put the operator are absolutely essential to the Lisp experience.
I don't get it. Firstly, is this being cited in sincerity, or to point out "Look, even Martin Fowler advocated for NoSQL back in 2012"?

If it is entirely in sincerity, I don't understand why he thinks queries isn't the de-facto solution. Perhaps his implicit assumption is that the database should be structured to reflect the code, when really the code should be structured to reflect the database?
From a purely aesthetic point of view, I do like having bulbs that can shift white balance over the course of a day. In the evening particularly, it feels much more "homely" (what the Danes famously partly refer to in their concept of "hygge") to have warmer lighting (4000k-ish). I also like to have something much more like mid-day sun (5500k) during working hours. The latest smart bulbs make it relatively trivial to have your home do this. There is something nice about pure midday colored light when trying to focus for me that I can't really put my finger on.

I'd be lying if I said I had felt this has a measurable effect on my well being, but such things are hard to measure anecdotally. I have personally never liked the software that adjusts computer screen display white balance over the course of a day though.
Been wondering about this for a while now, maybe someone in this thread can shed some light on this? What about processing httpd access logs to count visitors? Most tools use IP addresses to count unique visitors. Does that mean this now qualifies as "processing personally identifiable data"?
What's the problem with that though? Delegating authentication feels like such an obvious thing: You allow a certain party to manage your identity, and trust them with it. You don't want to trust every random website to implement proper password storage, add 2fa support, yubikey, security notifications, etc etc.

I have a problem with how OAuth2, when used for authentication, locks users into a certain provider. Wish there was a solution to that. But delegating authentication really should be taken more seriously.

(A good example actually is... ebay, the very author of this article, that despite managing entire businesses and moving tons of money around, doesn't have proper MFA, has really dumb password limitations, etc. I certainly wish ebay would let me log in with Google...)
I think the fact that Google is now officially removing the Don't Be Evil principle from its code of conduct is a hint to all of those principled people that are still working there that "hey, we don't want you, so why don't you get lost?"

Silently removing the Don't Be Evil principle may have been subtle, but I'm sure it was a loud and clear message to everyone at Google, especially as it happened right after many protested the company's work on autonomous killer robots (okay, okay, the "killer" part will be added later, so that Google can plausibly claim utter ignorance).

Those who protested Google's work with the Pentagon specifically mentioned the Don't Be Evil mantra. And now Google is getting rid of it. I think that clears everything up about the type of company Google is turning into.

This is an obvious slippery slope, and it's probably going to be challenged by the U.S. 1st amendment. It's already an issue with the previous "right to be forgotten" law which was way more limited in scope. [1][2][3]

The claim that higher priced government contracts are a subsidy seems valid... But to pretend that spaceflight in any nation isn't government subsidised seems tenuous.
I think you have to find a kind of patience. Going through your life psyching yourself up about how amazing and life changing this new experience is going to be doesn’t last. For most people the mid life crisis is the last time they try that.

All of the new stuff I’ve started has been on the cautiously optimistic end of the scale. This could be the best thing ever but it’ll take a long time for it to be so. Just show up until then.

What is interesting (thus far) to the responses is that no author of a paper has shown up going 'you're stealing my work' - nor is any money gathered by most of these organizations returned to research - myself, I've always envisioned Elsevier as the dutch dude in Austin Powers - One possible cure I heard from a librarian sobbing over the bill was that if there were companies that could hold copyright and companies that could distribute, but no one company could do both there might be some market tension
No reason to hate ORM unless you're letting the ORM tool generate your schema, in which case, you might get really lucky... or you might find out the hard way that there's a fine distinction between DBAs and software engineers.
So Theranos actually got CNC machines in-house? Most companies would outsource it one of the dozens of CNC shops in the bay area (or elsewhere is large enough volume.)
Since the others gave you promotional material, I'll give you a write-up that discusses the good and weird sides of it:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1680149

The weird stuff makes a lot of people decide not to use it. So, they should know ahead of time. I do think there's potential for a Forth with less weird stuff or more compatible with C. There could even be one already given a benefit of Forth is it's easy to write interpreters for it. On that note, here's a tutorial series illustrating that:

That's just fine. You are collapsing the IP addresses into a count and that count can not be reversed back in to the IP addresses you started out with. And then, after you're done with your log analysis (and any security related work you need to do with them) you can dispose of them.

There are some instances where it may make sense to have a very long log history but I'd be careful to properly document the need for that unless that need is an obvious one and easily explained. Anything longer than a year would be outright wrong and anything shorter than 30 days will definitely be ok.
Are your IDs monotonic by date (i.e. increasing the date will never decrease the ID)? Or, to put that another way, is partitioning by date equivalent to partitioning by ID for you, such that your date-based partitions will each end up with defined (if unknown) ranges of IDs?

If so, you could potentially create 1. a table that maps ID ranges to partitions, and then 2. create a stored procedure that takes a set of IDs and returns the set of partitions you must scan to find them.
If the story in the OP is true, none of those steps would have mattered, because the entire organization was banned. Protecting admin accounts is very doable, preventing all your employees from ever doing anything bad with their accounts is impossible.

I realize you can't comment on specific incidents, but a simple statement from Google saying "no, we definitely won't ban entire organizations including connected personal accounts because of one user's actions" would go a long way to put people at ease here.
The author does a good job of pointing out the hypocrisy in complaining about government subsidies yet refusing to make his company more competitive because that would jeopardise the government subsidies his company gets.

The last is noteworthy:

"It is about future business," Charmeau said. "Why do all the billionaires invest in space? Why does Jeff Bezos come to Germany and declare that the country should not go to space? He makes money with your personal data. Today he knows your Amazon orders, tomorrow he drives your car."

Goes to show you where much of the EU's animosity towards US tech firms comes from: local firms and powerful business people with access to politicians lobbying for protectionism.
That argument assumes a dividing line between business and influence on lawmaking that doesn't exist.

If Corp A is reaping the profit while the cost is diffused then Corp A is in a far better place to influence future laws than those they are harming.

And by the same guiding principals, Corp A should influence the law to the extent allowable by law, including changes which allow them more legal influence, and remove the influence of others.

I suspect a problem lies in the terminology, people often think meditation means solely "transcendental meditation" wherein the object is to completely empty the mind. But meditation covers several distinct mental disciplines.

When the Bible says "meditate on the Law" it's definitely not intending one to empty or still one's mind: there are 2 types of meditation in the OT at least 1) involving repetition to oneself, or muttering; 2) involving prayerful consideration. Two different OT Hebrew words, at least, being translated as "meditate". NB I've not studied these in depth.

So even in this very limited field one sees this term is, perhaps unhelpfully, overloaded.

That's not to say Tesla haven't decided to re-solve it / implement it themselves anew. The rest of the auto industry has been doing ABS much longer than Tesla has existed.

It's also not a prescriptive algorithm. ABS systems don't stay within the static coefficient of friction; they repeatedly retest the boundary between static and dynamic friction (hence the judder). It's a bit like optimising TCP window size for those familiar with it. There are a bunch of parameters you can tune.

I like the SENS explanation for aging because it is more comprehensive and plausible to me. See http://www.sens.org/

"But...it does respect the law on the books."

No, it absolutely does not. It completely makes up a reason why this should be considered any different than any other instance where things have changed since a law was enacted.
Covered by OSHA
But with exemptions in place for adverse conditions (oversees).

And all Workman's compensation claims go through a government agency (Department of Labor).

With zero ability to sue or claim damages like you would have in other businesses.

If you get hurt via some hilariously OSHA-illegal workplace incident, the most you can hope for is a schedule reward of some number of your work weeks plus forced retirement, and most people have to fight to get that using their own resources and legal help. All the while being treated as a criminal or a draft dodger.

So in the end, an OSHA-unsafe environment has no repercussions to governmental organizations ($$ as normal or firing).
Occasional: Not re-occuring regularly. So once per year but every year is not occasional. Once and then never again is occasional. In between: consult a lawyer, and if you can't afford that err on the side of caution.

As for the whole designated representative thing I'm looking at solving that in a somewhat creative way, but this will take some time and preparation.
