Let's describe the attack in detail.

You know:

- A username

In order to gain access to this system, you must supply:

- A username
- The corresponding password
- A TOTP code valid for the time you make the attempt

If any piece of information you give the server is wrong, you get an "auth failed" message which reveals nothing about which part(s) you got wrong. It is an oracle which answers only "yes" or "no".

Assuming you can guess (ask the oracle) once per second, that there are 52^8 possible passwords and 10^6 possible OTPs, and that every thirty seconds the valid OTP shifts to a new totally random value within the valid range, estimate the number of guesses necessary to find (with 50% probability) the correct combination of information. Now repeat the exercise, with the changed situational parameter that you no longer need to supply a correct TOTP.

I think you will find that the estimated time to crack is increased by much, much, much more than a factor of two by having the OTP. I would be interested to see any alternate answer and the reasoning behind the same.

Why would you preemptively cancel a subscription to a service you presumably like, just because you think you might not like it in the future?

If at some time new music stops becoming available, then it would be more reasonable to cancel then. I don't see what you gain out of cancelling it early.

You want to be an outlier on sites like that. You need to be.

The median developer on a freelance site is correctly priced at $9/hr, and there are thousands of options at that price point. Your job is to signal that you are not one of them, and that you are capable of actually completing software projects. A $150/hr bill rate is a good way of doing that.

You want your client’s decision to be whether to hope for the best with one of those Lowball bids that inspire zero confidence, or whether to go with the expensive guy who will at least get the thing built.

That's the misconception. AGI is very unlikely to happen in our lifetimes due to prohibitive physical limits. But you don't need AGI to disenfranchise more or less 90+% of humans.

I find smarter people tend to broadly overestimate human potential. We are unreliable, tire, are often untrustworthy, make mistakes, are subject to emotions, prone to illogic and irrationality, etc. We're a very suboptimal entropy-reducing machine relative to the forms of purpose-built AI and robotics that will be possible within the next 20 years. It's a shame people aren't more alarmed about this.

I don't understand.

They broadcasted in the UHF band, far from the FM band and VHF bands. How could the general public even are able to tune in and listen? Only people who use walkie-talkies for their jobs and amateur radio operators are known to own UHF radios. So did they manage to find a way to broadcast an audio-only signal on a TV-frequency, or what?
Most metrics would imply prison is great: low bounce rate, average session length of a couple of years, very flat retention curve.
Ok, so we can agree that if you got positive a result with p<0.05 and you repeat the experiment 100 times you expect to reproduce a positive result (i.e. getting a new p-value below 0.05)

a) if the null hypothesis is true, 5 times

b) if the null hypothesis is not true, anywhere between 0
and 100 times (depending on what is the true alternative)

This is quite different from your previous assertion that the expected number of successful replications would be 95 out of 100.

Yes it is a little nicer than Java 11, but not so much to really make a difference, while throwing away all the Maven central goodies.

var content = createContent();
var save = content.createHero("blah");

var start = System.currentTimeMillis();

// Generate a dungeon at each level.
var count = 0;
for (var i = 1; i <= Option.MAX_DEPTH; i++) {
var game = new Game(content, save, 1);
for (var ignored : game.generate());

// Read some bit of game data so the JIT doesn't optimize the whole
// program away as dead code.
if (game.hero.pos.x >= -1) count++;
}

var stop = System.currentTimeMillis();
var elapsedMilliseconds = start - stop;
out.printf("Generated %d dungeons in %dms\n", count, elapsedMilliseconds);
}
}
}
If the occupation force used cheap, throwaway drones then guerrilla tactics are rendered obsolete. But even that scenario would be inefficient.

The most efficient form of occupation is by getting the benefits of the occupation without the occupation: discretely hijacking a government + their media + most important companies, turning every citizen of a country into a debt slave.

Why fight millions of people if you can pay off a few dozen senators?
This is essentially how modern JavaScript works, in particular with the addition of async/await syntax [1] (which was originally from C#, I think), but it's been possible with libraries like task.js, co, and Bluebird [2] since generator functions were available (either natively or via transpiling).

The main difference is in JavaScript the event loop is automatic and hidden, and asynchronous IO is the default, so it's a bit harder to shoot yourself in the foot.

As compared to the situation 3 years back, now none of my friend (me included) is even slightly active on any social media (except for whatsapp). Even people are getting less active on whatsapp. I am a member of like 12 whatsapp group, and almost 10 of those are silent most of the time.

I wonder if this is generally true. May be I (and my friends) am getting older.
My guess is they probably made the investment in the first place to make sure they were onboard if/when music streaming took off. Now that it's well established, and there are competing services, they are probably better off by not playing favorites and being able to squeeze Spotify when negotiating licenses without harming their own investment (similar to what the movie industry is doing with Netflix).

There's a northern German copper plant which can dynamically adjust its energy usage to the availability of renewable energy. If the availability is low, they reduce their production and thereby greatly help the grid. I could imagine plenty of large consumers to dynamically adjust their processes to the price of energy, obviously costs money to setup and maintain, but will be beneficial regardless with very fluctuating energy prices due to the intermittency of renewable energy.

R isn't fantastic for handling dependencies. If your code is bundled up as a package then you can specify version numbers for your dependencies, but I don't know of any equivalent to `pip freeze` to actually list these. Installing anything other than the latest version of a package is a bit of a pain, and setting up environments for separate projects is pretty much unheard of.

I'm a bit bitter about the whole "writing reproducible code in R", as I'm currently wasting a lot of time trying to get R code I wrote at the start of my PhD to run again now I'm writing up.
That completely arbitrary.

There's no reason WhatsApp shouldn't be treated as a "dumb pipe for messaging" just like an ISP is widely regarded as necessary to be treated as such for data in general.

Where's the difference? Both are companies that want to make profits and face competition. If ISPs were a public state service, then that would be where to draw the line.

So far, based on the myriad of literature I have read about Machine Learning stuff, a lot of results and their quality depends on the type of network, training, error correction methods, etc.

> C++ never had a killer app to start its momentum.

C++ was immediately adopted by all major C compiler vendors as it came from AT&T as well.

Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 for MS-DOS was the very last one to adopt C++ on the toolchain.

It was the lingua franca of all major desktop OS GUI frameworks, leaving C just for their lower layers, MS-DOS (Turbo Vision), OS/2 (C/Set++), Windows (OWL, VCL, MFC), Mac OS (PowerPlant, MacApp), BeOS, Symbian.

If you were doing plain C GUI programming you were doing it wrong.

> Neither did Javascript.

JavaScript owns the browser, there is hardly any other alternative regarding "browser systems programming".

> or Java really (or maybe applets, back in the days?).

Java's portability was a gift compared with C compilers still in the middle of migrating from K&R C to ANSI C, C++ compilers which were silos with their GUI frameworks and a standard still a couple of years away to be fully defined.
This looks really interesting!

They have access to investment opportunities with a higher expected return and they are therefore rebalancing capital. Spotify is now a large, public company with attendant growth expectations.

> approved of it at the time too, but later reversed his decision

This is a very serious problem with upwork. I once had a client accept a finished project, give me an amazing review and then, close the project and complete the payment. A month later, he reversed the rating and review and started an issue with the Upwork system. The problem was that the third-party software service I used (as per the clients instructions) to perform a set of tasks, changed their policy and stopped allowing remote clients to their service.

I explained to the client during the development phase itself that this could happen. He explicitly told me that it was ok, and to go ahead.

Inspite of showing Upwork all the communications, my warnings, etc, they still sided with the client, blocked my account and transferred some balance amount in my account to the client.

The last time I used Upwork.
Perhaps that did not come across in the article well. When I set out to do Leaf that was the goal of the work. It's wasn't a diversion to some other goals. Over time my priorities changed, and I was trying to force myself to follow Leaf to follow them.

Had I wanted to make a game from the start I would most certainly not have made a language first! That would be crazy. And that's my comments about sunk costs -- just because I have Leaf, it'd still be crazy to do this other projects in it.
