It's a tactic to discourage the use of the paper tickets; they want to get rid of them, the Oyster card allows for much faster movement of people inside the stations and due to the gates much lower fraud.

In NL we've moved to a card system like that some years ago; the amount of people traveling without a ticket in the subways and trains has declined by a lot, and consequently, crime and violence against the train staff that fined them if they were checked. Likewise, staff could be reallocated from appearing as a big gang of ticket checkers at the exits of random stations to other tasks.

They do tend to put at least one guy near the gates though, for one to help out people that have trouble with the system, and on the other to discourage people jumping the gates. They're quite high so that's quite a feat, but there's also a builtin system so that it opens if pushed hard enough (in case of emergency).

Anyway. Ticket machines are big and expensive machines.

> Even if your encrypted laptop contains evidence, you cannot plead the fifth if the prosecutors know it’s there. As long as they can get a warrant and when they get the data say “see your honor? Here is the evidence we knew was there!”, it doesn’t fall under the fifth.

That sounds like the 'foregone conclusion' doctrine.

When it is a 'foregone conclusion' that the data is present on a device, you can be compelled to produce that data by decryption. However, if you are so compelled, the fact that you were able to decrypt that data can't be used against you. So they will need another way to tie you to the data.

An example is if police saw you had classified documents on your computer (by e.g. a video camera) and later confiscate the computer and find it to be encrypted.

When I first went to London I bought an oyster card, it was 5 pounds iirc and the lady who sold it told me I could just give it back at the end of my trip and get that 5 pounds back. It's a small extra task to get it and figure it out, but with the tube being as ubiquitous as it is, it's worth investing a bit of time in. It's not like the tickets / ticket machines are any easier.
Yes and no. Just by the time you get back 2000 years you have so many ancestors that you are related to everybody alive. There are no isolated human populations so everybody is related to everyone else.

Actually you only have around 1000 effective ancestors from that time as you don't inherit DNA from every ancestor.
You're not seeing it because you are trapped in a class guilt, social justice seeking, identity politics bubble.
This. For me, I changed completely. Things I used to find stressful became water on a duck's back. Things I thought were catastrophic became small. When you bond with your baby, whatever was the most important thing to you gets supplanted. It sounds like that would negatively impact your performance but my performance improved. I became more consistent, more reliable.

My boss knew me for years before the birth of my children and has a few more years after to compare. He tells me he witnessed no less than a transformation.

I feel like I could have 'timed' it better. I feel I could have saved more and all of that. But then I wouldn't be the type of person who cared about those things until I became a father.
If somebody manages to hack into a server somehow they can then contaminate hosts that attempt to scp from it. It's not the easiest exploit ever made but it's definitely pretty bad.

Assuming that they're going for cheap with a good rate of return, I'd be more inclined to go with "screenshots of whatever you watch and when you watch it". Of course, you can do all sorts of interesting analysis on this (when is this person home, what hours do they probably work, what demographic do they belong in given what they watch and when they watch it, etc). I don't think you need cutting-edge research based stuff to get some seriously creepy invasion of your privacy.
All the quirks are little design patterns that look pretty weird at first, not language features themselves. The resource you're looking for is the Nix Pills series [0]. The LearnXInYMinutes on Nix is also a good overview of the syntax.[1] nix repl is also essential for feeling it out.

To answer your question, { config, pkgs, ... }: declares a function that takes an attribute set containing values for "config" and "pkgs". The ellipsis indicates that it's okay to pass extra attributes.

Nixos-rebuild calls your function by: with (import <nixpkgs> {}); callPackage ./configuration.nix {}

<nixpkgs> is a file containing the set of all symbols (packages are under pkgs, Nix config lives in config, etc.) like a root namespace. callPackage inherits all those symbols and passes them to the function, which is how they got bound.

If that's the case, why do they even need the drive to be decrypted? All they'd have to prove is that the drive was not owned by anyone other than the accused and could then say that there was CP saved onto this drive by the guy.

If they matched the hashes to data on the drive, the files are already on there unencrypted. Could be some space left by a now-deleted unencrypted partition, or maybe some leftover data in a temporary location where the data is saved before being encrypted.

Together with the witness testimony, that seems pretty compelling.

TiDB developer here.
Yes, I think TiKV is an alternative to FDB. Compare to FDB Record Layer, TiKV aims to provide a more atomic primitive, just including Get/Set/Transaction in key-value layer, so users can build customized distributed system around it. The main differences between TiKV/TiDB and FDB are:

1. TiKV uses Multi-Raft architecture, I think Raft provides more HA.

2. TiKV's transaction model is inspired by Google Percolator, it's a classical optimistic 2PC transaction model with MVCC support. I'm not a expert of FDB, but I think different transaction models fit for different application scenarios, TiKV's transaction model is good when your workload is mainly small transactions and with a low conflict rate.

3. TiDB is a full-featured SQL layer on top of TiKV, aims to provide a MySQL compatible solution, you know, most of the TiDB users are migrated from the MySQL, so the focus of TiDB will be how to be compatible with these legacy MySQL-based applications. For example, how to read MySQL binlog and then replay on TiDB in real time, let TiDB become a MySQL active replica, or how to support complex SQL queries like distributed join or groupby, you know, building a full-featured SQL optimizer is a huge project.

Most would call it completely fair, and a proper incentive to bring similar products to market.

Having a temperature fluctuations of 380 C between daytime and nighttime must be awfully hard on all the components.

Consumer electronics struggle with 50 temperature swings of 100C (it's used in device lifetime testing). It causes solder joints to crack, things to loosen, glue to come off, and stuff to generally start falling apart.

Poor analogy, Netflix would also have to be owned but not funded by US Govt.

TV licence people can't exactly kick in the front door and search you for broadcast reception equipment, they're not the police, more like slightly more official bailiffs.

The note about the Brunswick Centre is interesting. This odd space-age utopian building was in much worse shape until a £20M renovation in 2006, with The Guardian characterizing it as one of the “most miserable places in London”:
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/artanddes...

In that article, the architect mentions he originally wanted it built out of brick in the style of Alvar Aalto, but they had to settle for painted concrete. In 1970 even the paint job was cut from the budget and wasn’t done until the renovation, so for 36 years the Brunswick was a brutalist bunker.

Im glad they fixed it. It’s an interesting landmark of British modernism’s fling with low-key sci-fi architecture — and the grocery store is good, I go there all the time.
To me, that’s the “our” in “our world”.
"comprehensive solution"
Greed is good.
FoundationDB does not support true geo-replicated multi-region distribution the way Cassandra, Spanner, Cockroach, etc do, at least not without paying huge latency/round trip costs. If you want to avoid that, the best you can have is a separate failover region, and, with FoundationDB 6, you can get closer-to-LAN latencies for failover deployments to separate regions (but only one region) while retaining ACID semantics. You could build truly global geo-distribution on top of it but that would have to be its own layer that implements 2PC/Paxos or something between regions. Ultimately you have to pay the toll somewhere in a truly consistent system like that if you want global availability (unless you're Spanner and have incredible hardware engineering that can be deployed across the globe).

Cassandra/Scylla are the only open source key value stores that do linear scalability by simply adding nodes even in huge, geo-distributed settings as far as I know, but they are ultimately AP systems. And Scylla just has absurd performance compared to Cassandra or FoundationDB. You just have to know what you're getting into. (But yes, ACID transactions are a good model for developers, and truly FDB's linearizable transactions and high scalability make it an obvious choice many CP systems, if you ask me.)

> Buying it at inflated prices from Intel effectively rewards them for their inability to produce more.

For this assertion to make any sense you'd need to believe that they don't benefit by increasing sales of a product line, particularly when they increase prices.
Well, it's basically a privilege escalation vulnerability. If you've owned some server, you now have a possibility to get access to the admins local machine too, likely giving you admin access to the whole infrastructure.

If you "trust" any of these things is irrelevant, as that trust might be misplaced and the security model should keep you safe with compromised servers regardless.
I like the app but it is too slow to create new items.

You can easily make half of your original salary back by working part-time in a sector not directly related to the one you left. If you're already given 75% of your old salary, you won't even need to be picky. You can learn new skills and work on your hobbies/the rest of your life, while receiving a princely sum for the amount of work you're actually doing. It's only a bad deal if your current sector is all you ever aspire to work in, and I'd posit that's not the case for the majority of people.
Agreed I’m still using my late 2013 MBPro with 1TB ssd 16gb Ram, because it feels to me that Apple prices for the 1TB ssd have not reduced at all, I want to upgrade and I can afford it, but I hate being ripped off, so I’m stubbornly waiting for a price drop.
I like 1TB because I need to run Windows 10 and MacOS.

This is assuming you have the time to do so. In the shock and awe practices of law enforcement in the states, no-knock-warrants by SWAT teams at 3am in the morning aren't an unheard of thing. Do you honestly think, in that precise moment, you'll remember to run and grab your phone and implement the lockdown mode before they breach into the premises?

I'd say it's better security practice to only use a passcode and, if you must use any biometrics, use an obscure finger (like the side of your pinky finger or something) - whilst also enabling the the auto-wipe feature after 10 failed login attempts.

IANAL but from what I understand of the current goings on in the states, the police have to tell you which digit to try. Just as a password is protected, knowledge of which digit and how it should be placed is also - technically - protected. Think of it like two-factor authentication: The fingerprint is what you are, which was can be used to unlock the phone, but divulging the "which finger and how it should be placed" is what you know.

I can't seem to find it but people were "hacking" the biometrics of Androids with 3D printed heads. The trade-off of convenience for security isn't really worth it.

Again, IANAL, and IMHO, and - if you care about privacy - you shouldn't use biometrics whatsoever but I understand the trade-offs between convenience and security and why so many people fall into that trap.
Counterargument: constant updating contributes to "software bit rot" - i.e. perfectly good hardware and software suddenly stopping to work simply because they were not updated to keep up with the changes of the environment around it. Put another way: updates are risky, and can randomly and unexpectedly break your setup. The software you're depending on may no longer be developed, or the new version (or alternatives) are worse than the old one - which is something increasingly frequent in this industry.

Not every update is important. Hell, I'd say most aren't, since developers are freely mixing security patches with feature updates. Until the culture changes to cleanly separate the two, all updates will carry the risk of degrading or breaking things.

> These systems [npm or cargo] implicitly encourage hardcoding a single version (or a small set of versions) as dependencies, and the convenience of this means that many developers rarely update the list even if the new library versions are fully compatible with their code.

Counterpoint: version pinning prevents your project from suddenly breaking apart at unexpected times, because some dependency had a breaking change. It also prevents you from automatically pulling in vulnerabilities introduced - sometimes intentionally - in the newer version. NodeJS in particular has a "malicious package" drama roughly every 6 months. In all honesty, you should be auditing your dependencies anyway, and it's harder to keep up if they change faster than you can review them.

I have always thought that there is not that much gap between the Asp or Asp.core with other options in the sense of performance. But these numbers are showing too much difference that is not negligible at all! So why wouldn't we go to use the recommended stack in these charts ? Am I missing something here ?
The biggest gray area currently is whether typing in a password is 'something you do' or 'something you know'

It seems pretty clear to me that a password is 'something you know', whilst a fingerprint is 'something you are'. Moreover, typing in a password is very clearly a communicative act, whilst placing a finger on a scanner is a lot more murky. It might communicate intent, but it can't communicate ideas.

Maybe things change if you need to know which fingers work.

"very inefficient"

Given the health results for the amount we pay I think the NHS is actually very efficient - most of the problems with the NHS seem to have come about through ideologically motivated meddling and an an unwillingness to resource it properly.
I find these articles terrifying, and yet unreal. Like it's not really happening. I guess this is what denial feels like.
Imagine there were two places to sell used cars. For example a dealer, where buyers could take it for a test drive, and auction, where you see it and have to bid on sight alone.

In such a situation, the lemons would gravitate to the auctionhouse, while the peaches end up at dealers.

Yes that's right. I've seen a few other apps like this. For this version, I wanted to focus on the linear aspect of the keyboard (even though it's not quite linear). Would be good to have the option though. It shouldn't be too difficult to code.
He's not ignoring you, he's just disputing the results of the research as stated. You are claiming better worker protection = higher unemployment. Clearly it has been demonstrated this is not true. What is also not true is the converse; one is not required for the other. You can then of course claim "but it is true, because these studies still say so!" but that doesn't make it an established thing. It is a hypothesis that some people have tested and found to be true. Other people did not. I would say this makes it at best uncertain whether or not it is the case.
As long as you use vi to write your rust code I'm OK.
Not sure.

Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, in his Aufbau der Physik argues/shows that the 2nd law is often misunderstood as leading to "goo". His take is that this is not so, rather it leads to skeletons.

So rocks crystallising and stars forming would actually be going with the flow of the 2nd law, rather than battling against it.
The unhealthy reality is that criticising the NHS or the TV license is not allowed on penalty of being ostracised and labelled an extremist.

So most people abstain unless they know it is OK to talk.
The "cow in the field" example reminds me of two heuristics I like: am I right for the wrong reason?; am I wrong for the right reason?

Being right for the wrong reason is dangerous: it's not easy to spot, and it perpetuates false sense of security leaving "black swan events" unanticipated. This might occur during debugging as the article points out, or e.g. during A/B testing of a product.

Bring wrong for the right reason is just plain frustrating.
People would do well to remember that the ideology of the Nazis had deep roots in rationalism and ideas about the enlightenment.
