If you work for Facebook and don't just clean the offices you had the choice.
I've wondered that too. My inexpert, unresearched guess is that people are scared of darkness, because we don't see too well. Hence black is a scary/bad color, and blacklists are the things to avoid.

Brightness is good - you can see, it's usually warm, etc. Hence whitelist.

But like I said, total off-the-cuff guess, take it for what it's worth.
If he's into ponies, yes, but most people don't care and would rather do something else.

In this case, selling the ponies and do something they like with the money.

Or selling some ponies, and pay someone to take care of the rest and make them reproduce/sell them, so that you can live with the pony-benefits.

It might not be optimal pony-wise, but it definitely makes more sense life-wise.
The obvious conspiracy theory: instead of arresting him, the chinese government quietly offered him a job.

I've long held a theory that many of the "basic infrastructure" pieces of technology would best be put forward by non-profits. The profit imperative can be an insidious corrosive influence.
I really like the look of Zig syntax so far. I had wanted to use this year's Advent of Code contest as an opportunity to learn some Zig, but I had trouble getting the compiler compiled and working.

I see now that binaries are available (maybe they always were?)--maybe it's time to put Zig to the test on these toy problems.
Exactly this. In Haskell, I can look at a function signature or definition and be guaranteed a lot of what that function is or is not able to do without needing to look at the code it's calling. That's never going to be the case with Python. I can only, at most, trust the conventions the writer seems to be following.
Seriously just did this earlier in the week. Had been dogging myself for a while to do strength training in the morning before work. Can't pull myself out of bed. Eventually I said "I just need to get to the gym, nothing more". If I get there an only get 5 minutes in, it's OK. Made it and had a 30m work out.

If I understand correctly, the immutability of a particular asset is what makes it a "static" asset.

What about these 4 guys just before 2008?

• Economist A. Gary Shilling warned his newsletter subscribers about a housing bust and wholesale deleveraging of household debt that would hobble the economy for years.

• Money manager James Stack also told his clients the housing bubble had burst and that a new bear market was coming—while stocks were hitting all-time highs.

• Raghuram Rajan, then chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, said the amount of risk and leverage in the system was much higher than most people thought.

• John Mauldin said a housing bust would lead to a drop in consumer spending, a bear market, and a recession (though at first he thought it would be a mild one), and that credit default swaps (CDSs) posed a systemic risk.

Plenty of folks "predicted" 2000 dot com crash and 2008 crisis. Noone listened though.
I would think that would be because teenagers are more likely to stay up late over elementary school kids.
I'm not sure it's a degradation of society. I think it's unhealthy, but the original Victorian era taboos didn't result in a degradation of society. In fact it appears to have given rise to something of a backlash against that kind of thinking culminating in the roaring 20's. Then the depression hit, and WWII, and in the aftermath of WWII female empowerment (women in the industrial workplace) there was a backlash movement against women to "put them back" in the home. But then the counter backlash of the 60's and 70's hit. We've spent the last ~120 years swinging the pendulum back and forth, I'm not sure this is anything else but a part of that same pattern.
I did not read the article to the end (I plan to). It's mostly good and I agree with the point it's making.

However, I think we need to flip it on its head. From my point of view as an engineer, your pipeline doesn't really matter, no matter how smart and well thought out it is.

The weakest link in the pipeline is what isn't mentioned here, how do you get candidates into the pipeline.

I get 5-10 recruiting emails a week and about the same number of linked-in messages, none of them ever even come to a phone call. (and yes, I have gotten a few from Stripe as well).

How do you email/call/text candidates? How do you define them? Do you have the same email for all or you distinguish between levels?

A lof of companies have a good pipeline and they say "we don't do whiteboards" but their recruiters are doing a disgusting job at finding people, just absolutely shameful.
I in the UK a lot of multi-story office building have carparks underneath them. That said, it's less of a problem because for buildings in the centres of towns a lot of people will prefer to take public transport or cycle anyway.

If in the long run you believe/understand that a wealth manager could do a better job than the basics and you want less safety, you can always hire one: wealth managers will still be there next year or decade. However if you get a wealth manager right now your funds may not be.
>Allow me to preface this by saying that React Native sets out to solve problems I don’t think are very interesting to solve. In particular I don’t think that sharing a single UI between disparate platforms is desirable from any perspective that isn’t cost savings and that even from that perspective it’s dicey.

Allow me to disagree. Mobile development is a mess these days. Doing stuff in React native is way easier than native (when there is a module that implements what you want), so most of the time you do things (a lot) faster. Sure, react native needs a lot of work and stop breaking things every single version they update and the modules need to step up in quality. I hope with the fabric rewrite, things get much better.
Same way you do when they may have enough revenue.
The bigger problem is that, as I understand it, all of these documents were obtained from someone suing Facebook who had access to them as part of a lawsuit against Facebook under a court order that required them to be kept confidential.
First question: yes, they provide a virtual private network between you and the service endpoint.

Second question: no, it's not a general-purpose VPN. It's purely for cloaking traffic to and from anywhere on the internet.
Unlikely, probably just DUmB.
A world in which companies are not allowed to selectively withhold proprietary data from some competitors, and form partnerships with others, is a world that suboptimally promotes innovation and economic growth.

«it should be absolutely trivial to detect how far away the key is based on the response time»

It's not possible. A keyfob has a relatively slow R/F communication channel, less than 1 Mbit/s (at best) because it's constrained by power. Thus the "length" of a bit transmitted over the air is 300 meters or more. The receiver needs to demodulate "300 meters" of R/F signal to recover a single bit. A difference of +/- 10 meters when these thieves boost the signal across your front yard is therefore indistinguishable from R/F noise and not demodulable by the receiver. You can visualize this as a 300 meter bit that has a noisy beginning and a noisy end.

That's why the distance-bounding techniques (term we use in the field) used by car manufacturers are instead pretty primitive, such as measuring the strength of the R/F signal (which is easily defeated by a proper signal booster.)
It's a fairly straightforward configuration change in the primary configuration screen to switch search providers. It's an advanced about:config change (when even possible) to change those others.

This is clearly intended for actual staff, not support position like building support and maintenance. They aren't employees, in fact they rarely are anywhere anymore. It's all outsourced to maintenance companies which are cheaper and not held to the same level of scrutiny for how they treat their employees.

It's garbage. Companies should employ them and pay a fair wage, but they don't.
Wow. Do airlines do this as well? I literally will not fly American Airlines anymore because their website is so unbearably slow when looking for flights (not that United or others are much better).

From the linked article:

Relay thefts

According to Bates, many of these thieves are using a method called "relay theft."

Key fobs are constantly broadcasting a signal that communicates with a specific vehicle, he said, and when it comes into a close enough range, the vehicle will open and start.

"The way that the thieves are getting around this is they're essentially amplifying that low power signal coming off of the push start fob," he said.

"They will prey upon the general consensus that most people are leaving their key fobs close to the front door of their home and the vehicle will be in the driveway."

The thief will bring a device close to the home's door, close to where most keys are sitting, to boost the fob's signal.

They leave another device near the vehicle, which receives the signal and opens the car.

Storing the keyfob in a faraday bag blogs the signal and prevents the relay attack from working.
Most people already have suitable licenses.

Parking zones being provided sounds good, and based on size they'd be very cheap. All these scooters are the same type too.

I'm sure a ticket is fine for most offences, just like cars.

Liability insurance for such a low power device is very cheap.

The most common devices can't speed, so whatever.

You can already get a DUI on a horse so screw it, won't make the law any dumber.

.

So overall you're suggesting extremely small new burdens, and you're promising parking spaces. No need to imply it would be a bad thing!
Ford is really bad with this. The Fiesta and Focus, you can program a new key with the ODB2 port in under 60 seconds. Blast the key with a booster, get inside the car, plug your laptop in, program a new key, drive off. People have had to lock the ODB2 port, disable it, put keys into aluminum foil (my method). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvmSOEKfkug

Yes, it’s a feature, so you don’t have to remove the key from a bag or pocket to enter or start the car.

In typical designs, the car continually transmits a low-frequency (e.g., 135 kHz) radio signal to wake up any wireless keys within range. When a key receives this signal, it replies with a VHF (e.g., 315 MHz) signal, and the car unlocks or starts when a door is opened or the start button is pressed.

The reply signal, at least, is uniquely coded to the car. The attack is to extend the range of the LF wake-up signal, causing a key stored away from the car to transmit a valid reply.

In some models, besides the transponder described above, the key also has a passive RFID tag, which works with a reader in the car to allow starting even if the battery in the key is dead.

(The article is wrong about the broadcasts, by the way; if the key transmitted continually, its battery wouldn’t last long.)
Why you should consider Serverless for your startup
The good news is that Onavo was removed from the App Store. For some reason Google seem to be happy letting it stay on Android though.
This is a totally fair point. There is a contribution from leadership.

But to track back to what was getting me bothered, it's the implication when Professor X is discussed or introduced somewhere that they personally thought up and wrote O(1000) publications.

I know good PIs guide the research activities of their groups as well rather than just creaming off publications.

But while I understand where you're coming from, stepping back and thinking about it 'authorship as a reward for leadership' could be a sign of unhealthiness in academia. Why can't authorship mean authorship and leadership be recognised separately? 'Professor X runs a highly successful lab of N researchers, who produced M papers last year, and manages a budget of Z dollars.'

I not sure about #4: "The Legendary Company Pattern", and which example companies the author had in mind:

> Products are legendary and set the bar. There are two types of employees: The "Old Guard" that worked on the earlier legendary products, and everyone else. Can be a very good choice if you can fit in and get shit done.
Don't expect to become an insider anytime soon if ever. Only old guard workers can be insiders.

Quite frankly, this sounds like what the top level at EVERY place would select, if you asked them to identify which pattern their company fits.
So the test for amplitude is aided by the fact that the signal strength received at the car increases by a factor of four if the distance is cut in half. Thus, you have a nice margin for setting your threshold.

With measuring the time, however, presuming that radio signal will travel on the order of one foot per nanosecond, you have much less of a threshold tolerance. If the unlock takes place within two feet of the car, that is two nanoseconds. If the key sits 20 feet away, that is a 20-nanosecond one-way travel. So this solution would need to be able to distinguish between a four nanosecond gap (round trip time) and a 40-nanosecond round-trip time.

Add to that the turnaround time in the car CPU which I would imagine to be some number of milliseconds, would 10 ms be reasonable?

Thus, the electronics in the car needs to distinguish between 10ms + 4 ns vs 10ms + 40ms. And given jitter in any modern CPU/memory/OS/electronics device, I would bet that the jitter totally swamps that.

I can't answer your question but i think you should be more specific.

Your phrasing obviously comes with the interpretation that if a split-up would bankrupt a part, it shouldn't be done.
Why should this be taken into consideration?

Secondly. It has value.
A different party could invest and keep it going.
Why is it important that it sustains itself?

Yes, if by 'miscalculated' you mean 'lied'.

when considering different VPN services based on privacy criteria, this site is helpful:

https://thatoneprivacysite.net/vpn-comparison-chart/

for example, i can see the ProtonVPN is hosted in Switzerland, and that Switzerland cooperates with Five-Eyes countries (according to Privacy International) by sharing intelligence information regarding citizens of Five-Eyes countries (including the US). this is a relatively mild concern, compared to VPNs hosted in one of the Fourteen-Eyes countries.

i can also see they use AES-256 for all data encryption. good. however, their terms of service and marketing material contain conflicting language regarding what information is logged, and details are not provided about how long logs are kept and whether these logs are personally identifiable. (running a truly "no logs" VPN service isn't really possible.)

at the network level, they appear to follow open standards and everything is implemented in a predictable manner. bandwidth looks good, but speeds and pricing are sub-par.

i've used ProtonVPN. i appreciate that they expose the details necessary to configure VPN using the built-in OS-level or router-level configuration screens, rather than requiring that you use their custom app. ultimately, the low speed (compared to similarly-priced VPN services) is what turned me away. it is neither the most privacy-conscious, nor most capable, nor highest value solution in the VPN market and i'm surprised to see this offering come through Mozilla. it's a weird endorsement.
Does anyone maintain a branch with precompiled builds that has sideloading turned on + no Pocket / other services? Preferably with autoupdate still working?

Are you guys all delusional on the female anatomy?

No, it could not by only transplanting the womb.
Because HUMAN MALES don't have OVARIES. This mother had to have at least one menstruation - which means she had to have functional ovaries. They cannot produce that in males with drugs.

A womb is just a womb - not the full set of organs and functions a female has to have to be able to get pregnant.

Looking at women's bodies as spare parts, incubators, etc is the reason why you guys think this is doable on a human male. It's called misogyny.
would you take that money?
That isn't the individual tools showing concurrency - they are running concurrently due to the way the OS manages processes and pipelines.

The overall task has multiple things running concurrently but it doesn't have to[1] and the individual components are doing no concurrency of their own. It has the same effect in many cases because of the buffering built into how pipes are handled, for instance passing the output of gzip through gzip through gzip will happily use most of three cores (if that much CPU time is free at that moment) but try that with commands that need to block such as invocations of sort for example and you'll see that break down. One sort command in your pipeline will tie the whole lot to not scaling much beyond one core[2]. Also pipes and other trickery like xargs/parallel don't help if the task is something like "grep over this large file" - that will only scale over multiple cores at all if your implementation of grep supports a multi-threaded search (and your data is in cache or otherwise in RAM so the process isn't IO-bound).

[1] it could queue each and spool the output between to temporary storage, it is so chose
[2] note that some implementations of sort, such as the GNU version seen in most (all?) linux distributions, do support their own multi-core use
Which is honestly a lot like not being able to calm down until you've had a cigarette. Doesn't seem to be a problem for those who just never do it.
>until Waymo closes up shop

Maybe if this was Microsoft, and Waymo was the Zune.

Alphabet has given it some 9 years just to get to this soft launch, I think they have the patience to see it through. There is enough money and interest in this space internationally that I'd give it some time.
I'm not advocating for anything here, but isn't hurting innovation and economic growth exactly what FB is doing by snuffing out promising products based on analytics?
This is not an overflow problem. PolicyKit is deciding to exclude negative numbers from the allowable range of user IDs, causing pkttyagent to abend with an assertion failure, and then the authorization mechanism fails open.

The proposed patch from the systemd developers, somewhat worryingly, apparently does not address the failing open. It simply stops PolicyKit from excluding negative numbers as UIDs, and thus the assertion from failing. The worry is that some other assertion might trigger in the agent, or be introduced, that causes it to fail open in some other way. It should fail closed.

We have been down this road before with assertions.

> If they try to pull that off, all their partners will drop them like a hot potato.

At that point, will they have a choice? I mean most partners already bow to Google's control over AOSP -- if they said tomorrow that android was actually switching to run on top of fuchsia (let's say they did all the work to make it happen, so it was "seamless"), everyone would just be like... "ok".

While I'm not sure I necessarily want Fuchsia to fail, I'm 100% with you on it being likely better for the world if google didn't own everything...
Harbor CEO talks tokenizing assets
I'm very junior and UK based so I can only speak on my experience...

No, there is no lack of understanding about the importance of promoting sleep. To suggest that somehow medical professionals haven't got round to working out that there are benefits to having a good sleep is, to be frank, completely ridiculous and quite insulting.

A very specific example would be the importance of sleep in relation to delirium in elderly patients. This is taken very seriously.

In a wider sense, hospital staff will try to establish a reasonable environment for sleep. There is a need to be realistic though, and accept that (for many many reason not readily apparent to the lay person) it just isn't always possible to remove all the factors that disturb sleep.

Most patients on a ward are in multi patient bays. If a patient is unwell medical staff will probably have to; talk out loud, turn on a light, move some kit around, walk in/out of the bay... and so on. This would certainly wake me up. There's just very little can be done about it. Clinical need top trumps comfort.

There will of course be room for improvement, and some staff will be forgetful of the need to be mindful of quiet hours (it's very easy to forget it's 'night time' when your brain is in 'at work' mode).

So, a more balanced summary would be: "Medical professionals try to promote a good sleeping environment, but the very nature of a hospital makes this a challenge. However, there is always room for improvement and many local issues can be solved via improved patient-staff communication". Doesn't make for such a clickbaity whinge blog though when you phrase it this way.
