The most difficult club foxhunt I was on, the fox was static but had three 10 dB steps of power and periods of silence. So no.
This is sadly common, but I'd like to assure you there are many of us who are interested in pedagogy, and measure our long-term success on the success and learning of our students.
You could encrypt instead of hash, and then have some policy (e.g. the decryption library/service/piece will only allow decrypting ciphertext newer than 30 days).

If you need the ability to group ciphertexts without decrypting them, you could create a scheme which will make cryptographers cringe, but could be justified in this specific case.
JTAG interfaces on washing machines are not that uncommon, so this is absolutely a thing.
I find it somewhat sad that programming is basically a guild where arcane language is used to gatekeep what should be a much more straightforward exercise.
Russia isn't just re-emerging on the international scene, they have been active for quite some time, in and with Venezuela as well.

But you said it was "first you heard of that" or similar?

This "situation" is becoming worse. Hopefully it resolves soon.
I did notice what you wrote but you still do not see how you shift blame on to Google (despite careful use of the word "enabled") all the while conveniently ignoring key facts (device stolen, password stolen, etc.) that indicate personal responsibility.

If someone stole the key to my house, and went on to steal important things, is it the fault of the company that makes the locks? Did the lock company "enable" the stealing to happen?

But then blaming someone/ something else for what one is personally responsible for is as old as humanity.
Such as slightly damp wood (think portable jobsite saw for framers or finish carpenters) or aluminium (yep, you can easily cut aluminium with most wood working tools).
Makes a lot of sense. I actually think leveraging your prod data to create a test environment is one of the best approaches, as long as you're mindful of privacy. Full disclosure: I'm a founder of tonic.ai and we make tools to make it easier to create synthetic staging instances from production environments.
However you could get a developer license and load anything you want on your phone. Granted it's not for everybody, but if you're so incline to sideload apps on your phone you can pretend to be a developer (Meaning you just need to know enough to use the tools available, not in a demeaning way).
Since the title doesn’t say much...

It was a close relative. One the donor company found out they blocked her from receiving more of the guys sworn she had already purchased for future kids.

I guess she was attached to the idea of the kids being biological siblings.

I'm a scientist and every time I've looked into this, it seems unlikely that PG&E's work with chromium-6 actually caused any health problems. It's unfortunately the movie made the (likely) false narrative popular.
When I make a mistake at my job which could impact others, I report it immediately. Do journalists do the same? Newspapers are infamous for publishing retractions and corrections at the bottom of page 17, in tiny print, 2 weeks later -- if at all.
I've done this plenty of times, but you can anonymize the data fairly easily and get the benefits of both.

The flip side of the coin is dev databases not being representative of production, this can cause performance issues. "It works with 10 rows on localhost, why doesn't it work with a million in production?".
Just because they put it in the op-ed section doesn't mean they weren't pushing war propaganda.
Just curious, how many domains do you have and what kinds of bulk management tools do you need?

I've been very happy with Cloudflare's registrar myself, even though they aren't always the cheapest[1]. Cloudflare just silently auto-renews all of my domains so I never have to think about when they're going to expire. And I don't mind the lack of nameservers since I can't think of a reason to use non-cloudflare nameservers for any of my domains.

[1] Namecheap offers .io for $32 (not a promo, standard price) whereas Cloudflare charges $45.
What became apparent is that the smalltalk world of small modular highly composable designs is kind of critical

All of the cost/benefit tradeoffs of Smalltalk point towards small granularity. You had "everything is an object" to a very high extent. This meant that objects and lambdas had to be super nimble, because literally everything (with just a literal handful of exceptions) was made out of them.

When these pieces get less nimble, the cost/benefit changes, and the granularity at which you operate changes as well.

if anything we are seeing quite a lot of focus on things like functional programming

Some of that is also suitable for small granularity.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how the above applies to Golang.
Counting solar panels in the U.S. with machine learning and satellite images
Coverage driven testing is (almost) always (mostly) evil. Coverage as a metric is great. Maybe you're not going for 100%, however it does tell you something about your test set(s), providing a decent measure of "doneness". However all of this is depends on good test cases. Test cases that test something. That might sound obvious, but it's fairly easy to achieve 100% coverage while testing nothing. By the way, the reason I said "almost" and "mostly" before, is you can find bugs while attempting to improve coverage; provided you take a step back forget about achieving coverage, and instead write good tests, that happen to get you the coverage. There's a lot of temptation there and it's not an overall good strategy, but you'll find stuff.

Best buy currently buys stuff at wholesale prices.

Amazon sells at retail prices.

Not sure they can meet in the middle economically.

Especially with Amazon closing in on stores, with in city distribution centers and pick up lockers.
I ran into a similar case with umbrellas- there weren't any local stores selling them on the day before a major rainstorm that ended up causing a significant amount of flooding around the state. Instead I'd decided to pay the premium and pick a reasonably sturdy one from Amazon with next-day pickup.
Such an action would result extraordinary liability for a company. Public discovery would likely lead to consumer lawsuits, shareholders suits, replacement of the CEO, and shuffling of the board of directors. Not to mention possible criminal/civil penalties that pierce the corporate veil.
It's a light honk, here's an example: https://youtu.be/_rpEtxBo00U?t=23

I don't find it too bothersome, but maybe I'm just used to it. In some other videos people are suggesting that it can be disabled on most vehicles by holding the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds.
I think what he meant by meritocracy is that the merits from doing projects hands on and having solid results, as opposed to the “scholastic” meritocracy which I had initially assumed he meant (and which may be confusing other readers too).
Java popularised GC. GC wasn't taken seriously as an option for high performance code before Java, and it altered the mindset of the majority of programmers globally.

Java's biggest mistake IMO is checked exceptions.

Java is more notable for the things it left out than what it added. It was designed for success and achieved more than most of the languages you list.

I don't love Java. However there are many cases in which it's still the best option.
Well, that and being one bug or secret govt court order from revealing real time audio of his entire family.
Even worse are websites/services that impose ridiculous character requirements (you must include 2 symbols, 3 numbers, 5 letters, 2.5 of which must be upper case and positioned at the prime number indices, oh and you have to change your password every 6 months) and then limit your password to 8-12 characters.

The way I remember passwords is by stringing together random English words with random special characters inserted throughout. This means most of them are 30-40 characters. I find these far easier to remember than my PayPal password, which is arbitrarily limited to a random collection of special characters that must be of length less than 12 (or whatever their ridiculously short limit is.)

If you truly care about the security of my account don't impose character limits.
The difference is more in a "batteries included" sense - Python values developer productivity and gives you what you need, similarly Haskell which is on the opposite end of a Dynamic vs Static spectrum, while Java was traditionally more oriented towards stability and predictability and partly attached to the old-school cool of potato programming.
Newly Discovered Mac Malware CookieMiner Steals from Crypto Wallet
"4. Not all records in the zone file are valid domains. Some do not have a WHOIS record and may act as honeypots to catch people distributing and using zone files without permission."

It has been a while since I looked at the com zone file access ageement but as I recall the most substantial restriction was on redistribution.

A wee bit of web searching shows there are still plenty of non-official sources selling zone files.

Perhaps it's just me but sometimes I think the number is increasing.

Are the honeypots designed to catch these sellers and stop them from selling?

Does Verisign enforce the ZFA agreement?

Maybe all Verisign can do is revoke the access of the licensee who breached their agreement?
Sounds like treason to me.

Or it’s some wacky under the radar US action.
That's mentioned in the article along with another historical precedents.
Yep, I use it all the time at the area supermarkets (works with no less than four different chains).

I predict that someday soon, supermarkets will sell my food purchase history to insurance companies, so when I buy loads of vegetables and such, I use my real number. When I buy wine & bacon -- you guessed it: 867-5309.

Tip #2: They also link purchase records based on debit card account numbers. So pay cash.

Tip #3: if the number doesn't work for your area code, try it with a different area code. (the sysadmins sometime purge a number that is being used by loads of people.)
Also, if you need to provide a zip code, Beverly Hills 90210 works just fine.
Double digit week over week week is only possible for very early stage startups. 10% week over week for a year is 142x yearly, which just isn't sustainable for more than a year or two at the absolute maximum.
They can control what happens on your phones and affect what apps can and cannot run. That's rather invasive.
The Motorola iDEN (Nextel) protocol was very GSM-like in some ways, but the reverse control channel was even louder, and the modulation even harsher. A Nextel in the audience was every live sound engineer's nightmare.
Anybody in this crowd try this out yet? Sounds pretty cool. Would be awesome to tie it into a home DVR like a Homerun or Recast.

US phone numbering is a broken system.
For 2) a country could implement economic incentives in the form of a graduated tax penalty for each 'missing' child under the country's replacement rate, and a tax credit for each registered dependent counting towards the rate with the taxes from the former supporting a program to fund childcare, fertility treatments, a parental stipend, etc.
It's a lot more than "just" a proxy.
Not at all. Scrum is a fine process when done right. And I'd probably rather deal with a half-assed implementation of Scrum, than deal with using somebody's home-baked, "cowboy coding with no controls at all", "inmates are running the asylum" process.

Now if an ad mentions SAFE (Scaled Agile Framework) then I'd say run screaming for the hills as fast as your feet can carry you. SAFE is the biggest clusterfuck / abomination I've ever had the misfortune to stumble across in my life. It's like the mutant child of the worst parts of Scrum, the worst parts of Waterfall, some syphilitic sewage sucked out of the Potomac, parts from a 1973 AMC Pacer, some rotting fish-heads, and a barrel full of shards of broken glass and old rusty nails.
I don't know how good SawStop is exactly but destroying a blade is probably better than losing a finger. Otherwise we could argue that airbags are bad because we need new steering wheels after.
Unknown strong signal on 14000: amateurradio
But can the same not be said of every news organisation out there - that they stand to lose at the hands of FB? So who is qualified to report on FB, no one?

You're not wrong that NYT would have a motivation to report negatively about FB. But that doesn't automatically mean that is the motive, though. All their reporting I've seen has been notable, and not hysterical. There's been additional good reporting by TechCrunch and ProPublica, I'm not sure how NYT's coverage differs.
What about using a service like Twilio to receive texts?
By themselves?

They can do basically what Siri/'Ok Google' already do, except on a stationary location. For Echo in particular, there's a bunch of skills you can enable, from fart jokes to re-ordering your last Pizza on Domino's. If you have the full device (Echo, not the dot), it's also a pretty decent speaker. During the california fires I was constantly asking it about the air quality.

Kids love it. For jokes, to simple math problems, and wikipedia-like answers.

If you have more than one, they can call each other. Poor man's intercom. They can also play music together.

If you have a FireTV, it can control that. Good when you have misplaced the remote.

If you have smart devices, then things get more interesting. They can control groups of devices. When I say "Alexa, goodnight", lights are turned off, bedroom air filter is turned on, as are the security cameras (would be even better with thermostats and whatnot).

If you can program, you can also build skills for them. Then they will do whatever you want them to do.
Define "guaranteed".

Because unless they actually pay you that money in advance, its most likely not guaranteed in the event the company goes belly up.
I know what an op-ed is. I guess your point is that they don't fact check op-ed's so it doesn't count?

The NYT itself felt it's reporting was bad enough it warranted an apology: https://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/30/weekinreview/the-public-e...
This is where spending some years in a big organization can be really helpful. You can find mentors who have managed major products. You learn from them, but at least as importantly, you have their contact info and these are people who answer their email when you have an interesting problem or question for them.

Doesn't have to be corporate. The high end of government has some really stratospheric talent executing high cost, high stakes projects.
Same for Taobao, Tmall, JD, Meituan, and dozen others.
Although they project the surprise as that of others (not the authors), this piece does seem to get very close to a patronising view of young people, of the "gosh, they're not that stupid after all" style.
We had problems with Ford / lincoln in our parking lots. Idiots (car manufacturers) are using a bands in the 800mhz to 900mhz range. We paid about 60,000 in towning fees before we swapped our digital sign board systems out.
Give it a try. The tools are a little primitive, but it's not black magic.
OP said that the fox would be mobile and not transmitting all the time. You said the fox was static, but had three 10 db steps in power and periods of silence. 10 db steps in power would trick lots of hunters into suspecting mobility and periods of silence is exactly what op said. I can't imagine why something so close would elicit such a dismissive "so no".
Daaaang, that's got to be some power. I've looked at Sutro's architecture from across the bay, but never got up close to see what's on it.

I have a keyless-only car now, and this sort of stuff worries me. "Dead battery" mode has always saved me thus far, but in that situation? I'd be hosed. Can't even put it in neutral and coast down the mountain. (Electronic transmission, there's no shift-interlock bypass...)
> you find yourself spending time testing things that really don’t need to be tested

The thing with 100% code coverage is not that one should write more tests, but that you should refactor everything that isn't business logic (and, thus, nothing that would be part of the functionality of the application to test) into third party libraries, if it doesn't already come from third party libraries, which it probably should.
> Well, that and being one bug or secret govt court order from revealing real time audio of his entire family.

That doesn't happen. They may ask for the requests you have made to the device, but they won't simply listen to your conversations. These things are not sending realtime audio to AWS servers 24/7. We would know.

The advantage is that I have multiple Alexa devices so I get the notification in multiple places instead of just one in the middle of the house. Also the wire was cut five years ago so that chime doesn't work anyway.
Demystifying Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Ideologies
I don't know... I have the feeling that the inflation rate calculated in those formulas is much lower than the actual inflation rate experienced by the population, and it's kept artificially low because otherwise many inflation-adjusted entitlements paid by the government would grow out of proportion.

Maybe it's just because I live in California, but over the past 10 years I have observed inflation in my main expense categories (mostly rent and restaurants) go up a steady ~10% a year, which clearly doesn't match what the TIPS have been returning, so had I had all my nest egg in TIPS, my purchasing power would have shrunk by quite a bit.
Then when it fails, you blame the programming language rather than your experience in programming.
The fluffy bunny option does not work for me, in either Firefox or Chrome on my Mac. Instead of replacing the image on the page, it just reloads the whole page with the boring humans.

I've never really understood patents, but none of this seems really "novel" to me.

I take it you said that backwards on purpose though as sarcasm?

Applying braking technology to a blade doesn't seem like that novel of an idea compared to detecting a finger touching metal through change in electrical resistance.
as a graduate student in CS (ML and theory) all these comments about people not believing in their own ability to invent things via their own reasoning runs 100% opposite to my own experience. weird. maybe i've just found a good local optimum in my life choices and starting place (birth/white privilege etc).
A lot of people ended up sick in this area and with major health issues. If not chromium 6, then?

What is the correct terminology for the binary blob that is a result of training? Is that resultant blob called “the algorithm?” I see people use the word algorithm to describe the training and the actual result of the training. I think the most appropriate term for the resultant blob is “agent” or something like that.
You don't think there's a difference between a person buying an Apple device and Google working with Apple to run software on their devices?
> Facebook and Google did sign it and distributed their software based on it.

I think we're talking past each other here. I'm not talking about how Facebook and Google's spy kits were licensed to the end users or about their compliance with Apple's own vendor license.

I was pointing out that the principle here is that I (and Facebook and Google) should have the ability to write and distribute software for you (and me, and Facebook and Google and even Apple) to use on your iPhone. And that the fact we don't have that ability is bad.

And more to the point the fact that Apple's control over their platform was used to benefit the public by disallowing spy kits still does not make that control a good thing.
> sort of works

Nope. The only thing it does is pass the test under the conditions that you made the test. There is no validation of the code within the project for correctness, safeness [is validation working or not], or even operation. When you only have feature tests, you have a lot of code that you're not sure that works or not.
I agree static types can help, but there are many kinds of errors not caught by static typing. Did you misspell a key while encoding to JSON? Did you add two values where you should have subtracted? Did you forget to log an error (and did you log everything you should)? These are the kinds of errors I face every day and it would be burdensome to prevent them with static typing alone.

These days I can't imagine writing any kind of secure software without writing tests, regardless of static typing. Static typing does not increase my confidence in code very much.
I didn't have chrome on my phone and the default android browser doesn't request permissions. I used to install it from the downloads app thing but that doesn't seem to work anymore because of these new changes.

bothsiderism is essentially the outcome of what is in my mind the most infamous vendor lock-in move of all: the FCC's equal time rule. By requiring broadcasters give equal time to both sides, the ruling American parties (Democrat and Republican) effectively granted themselves a duopolony on mass media in the US and excluded all competing views. This is also the kernel of truth at the origin of the highly manipulable term "mainstream media".
that only work if you had two pieces of information. username and password works because you can find the salt value associated with that username and then use that for the password hash. an ip would still require an unhashed thing to lookup to get the hash if you did it per ip address. for this you might be able to get away with using a sole salt value for all ip addresses but even then if you get hacked it would be trivial to write a script to compute the rainbow table when you steal the salt value.
But that's a great example! If FB were paying you $2000 a month as a participant in this FB program, and then suddenly Apple made it so that FB could no longer operate this program -- would you be unhappy with FB or with Apple?
