Are you making reference to tweets a future famous person made as a teenager, or people saying inappropriate things in the here and now?

The former, I have sympathy, and we probably need to get better as a society at dealing with it.
The latter not so much, especially if you're paying for your podium.
Anna Karenina is the novel I probably read the most of without finishing. After a while, it became hard to care about rich people and their affairs and varied "nervous conditions".
The utility_function of facebook (what it maximizes for) is for your attention grab. This in itself makes the product bad. They will hack the endorphin in your brain in order to keep you hooked.

the utility_function of email is utilitarian. No email server wants to keep their user hooked on their emails.
How about the NSA and similar institutions in other countries don't hoard zerodays and instead actively work to improve security? Defending against hackers is a lot easier than defending against nuclear missiles. We don't need an active deterrence if the defenses are good.
No, it's not. You answered your own question here:

> while keeping pitches the same

All 192khz does is preserve higher frequencies. If you're keeping pitches the same, there's no advantage to using an extremely high sampling rate for your source material. The advantage comes if you're going to lower pitches.

(Note that some algorithms need higher sampling rates to avoid aliasing. That shouldn't be the case anymore, but if you're hearing a substantial increase in quality just going up to 192 khz, most likely one of your algorithms is faulty.)

(Note 2: I say "substantial increase" because some people can detect up to 27khz.)
Perhaps a freenode channel? ##ghidra seems to be available.
I think they're just reporting on the trend, not expressing an opinion on it.
There's quality setting in app settings, where you can choose the quality. Choices are automatic, low, normal, high very high. I guess "automatic" can adjust the quality based on connection.
Not windows, but `true` has to take the cake for the most trivial program, the portion of my comment after the second : is a valid implementation:
I don't know if this is still common practice, but radio edits were often mastered differently back when I briefly studied music production. The station also likely uses signal processing to compress the dynamic range and increase the "loudness". Listening in a car is quite different than listening on home audio equipment, hence the different processing.
I'm not going to say that Gibson's Idoru is the greatest novel ever, but no quote in War and Peace can describe the pathological number of Americans who support Trump like this quote:

“[Slitscan's audience] is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections.”
Some clarifications:

- Facebook allowed people to share their data and the data of their friends with third parties. So there was no requirement for me to use My Digital Life, or to accept a single permission prompt, in order for the researcher to have access to my data.

- people didn't "want to share their data", they wanted their quiz results. Was every bit of the data they provided required in order to get the quiz results? Doubtful. Were users aware that this data could be permanently stored outside of Facebook and used at a later point? Again, doubtful.

> that normally means they set an S3 bucket to public or got hacked

I'd argue that the combination of the above means that what Facebook did absolutely was equivalent to leaving an S3 bucket on public. Without absolutely any involvement by me, the researcher was able to access my personal data, and was given permission by someone whose understanding of what they were doing was, at best, dubious. Facebook knew all of this because they created the system it lived in, but didn't appear to consider the consequences, so yeah, I consider them responsible.

Cyber-espionage is a valid role, IMHO, but it should be separated from their defensive one. (Or the defensive role spun off into a different org altogether. I think there's just no other way way to manage the opposing incentives at work here.

3. The A/D converter used by your car stereo headphone jack is low quality and introduced sampling artifacts.

4. You have a high definition radio and were listening to a high quality digital signal over FM as opposed to an FM analog signal.

>making statements about privacy directly to the people you insulted previously

I'm sure those kids from Harvard have gotten over it by now.
Let's say Facebook actually pulls this off. They deliver a privacy-focused social media platform. It's used by billions of people, daily.

How do they make money off it? If everything is encrypted, they cannot have targeted ads. They can't read the data to push ads for different demographics.

Personally, I think a (more) private social network is a great idea. But I don't see how Facebook's financial incentives align with whatever this is.
I want it noted that this thing is really neat — you can provide parameters like min layover of 2 hrs, or 2 weeks, and even search only within a particular airline alliance

I really like the article. My problem is the next step, which I look for, rather unsuccessfully.

I'm not too up to date on the news, but isn't FB building a shadow profile of everyone?

So even if you're not a user, you get tracked and your data gets sold. That to me was a step too far, and got me to really scale back what I share on the Internet.

Does any of this matter? Higher default risk means the rate of defaults is higher, so the costs of foreclosure and repossession will be higher. If the market is competitive, they should be making the same amount of money on average as low risk. Low risk by definition is going to have lower repossession costs.

This changes when banks exploit mispricing or miscalculation of risk by other lenders, to undercut them or to buy low risk debt at high risk prices.

Mark Zuckerberg has exactly zero credibility at this point.
I had an interview last year with the Windows and Devices Group. On the day of the interview, I was told it would be with people that work on telemetry.

One interviewer told me that keystrokes were being measured by conhost.exe. Not just for internal testing. He clarified that it was done on customer machines. It wasn't clear if they collected individual key presses because we were discussing something you could infer by knowing keystroke timing.

Windows 10 is the most prolific malware in the world.
At some point, there is more to care about than money. He has plenty. He has more power than almost anyone in the world. Now he cares about legacy and impact on the world. Once he is gone, what is he remembered for, what change did he lead.

I dont think he is the same person, because he has it all now, and could walk away and never work another second in his life. He legitimately wants to make the world a better place for himself to live in.

That said "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." Just because he wants to make change, doesnt meant he goes about it in the right way. And because of the way the media treats him, everything out of his mouth is PR approved double speak.
So nothing really nefarious then.
Except 'everyone' is not Warren Buffet and that is my point. He is able to hold meetings and interpret signals that the regular public simply can't do. He has access to go anwhere and see anything. Even if what he sees is 'public' it is still very helpful in determining whether an investment makes sense. He can feel the tempo and he can sense things (or the people he dispatches same point if they have access).

I will give a very small example to illustrate my point. Years ago I was looking at buying a small business. I was there for about 2 hours. I noticed that the phone did not ring one time in the 2 hours. Let's assume for the sake of the story that the phone ringing was not super indicative of anything (with this business I mean it wasn't a Pizza takeout place) but somewhat meaningful. They didn't have to reveal anything secret at all for me to take that info into consideration.

The problem with an index fund is that since it isn't a gamble you will never win big!

Eh, half the problem is that there are far too many options to maintain, many of them legacy. Smart card authentication has worked great in Edge on Office 365 for years without any plugins at Microsoft, so I imagine your employer has got the wrong box checked somewhere triggering a fall back to ActiveX.

Ah, the big cities are turning into a shit-hole for many people. It is interesting that both politicians and rentiers will ignore the signs until a full collapse.

How hard will it be to move government jobs and private jobs (with special tax breaks) to a different nearby city?

I mean: London, Paris, New York. Over-priced shit-holes. Check the apartments that the average guy/middle class family can get. The apartments in both London and Paris are real shit-holes. Amenities (like doors, toilets, kitchens) are from the 60s.

The solution is actually not quite sophisticated: Move government jobs first. Most people will move when offered a new, clean, affordable city that they can live in. Brazil did this with Brasilia. The US has Las Vegas.

Positive side effects:

+ The people from the country side where the project will be built will become instantly rich. They hold large lands that new developers will pay (relatively little) for. So wealth moves from the average guy to the poorer ones instead of the rich ones.

+ New, Modern transportation system are easier to build in an empty plot of land.

+ You'll probably have underground parking in your condominium.

+ You pay less for rent/mortgage but you get to live on a 21st century apartment or house.
Have you looked at the price of a house lately? Maybe the 1% can manage to buy houses for cash, but that's not something most of us can realistically aspire to.

Ad blocking is immoral and wrong. Loading a website with ads has an implicit agreement: I will give you my product (website content) if, in exchange, you agree load these ads.

If you don't want to see ads on a given site, your moral option is to stop visiting the site.

Rajatsharma/Shinobi: React SSR and HMR
Last year I interned at a company and the designated office had a huge black dog that smelled like a hobo in it (the dog belonged to one of the other 3 guys - no idea how his 2 colleagues can handle that smell).

I spent approx. 2 minutes in that room to introduce myself and then sat the remaining time (4 months) in the kitchen or at my bosses desk when he was away.

Since then I asked in every job interview about the company's dog policy.
> The Remain campaign completely blew the legally mandated spending limits for campaigning in a single mailshot to every home in Britain

As benj111 points out, it was the _Government_, not the Remain campaign. Different rules apply to them (they are prohibited from campaigning _at all_ during the 28 days prior to the referendum). Furthermore, a large percentage of distribution (to England) was done at a spend time when the spending rules did not apply at all (which to my understanding means the Leave campaign could have _also_ spend more during that time).

> They spent far, far more money than the Leave campaign did.

This is an exaggeration. The cost of the mailshot was £9.3m[1] - the Leave campaign could spend up to £7m (in the regulated time - as above, I believe it is unlimited outside of that), with UKIP a further £4m (and other groups could spend up to £700k). More, yes, as the Remain campaign could _also_ spend up to £7m, but "far, far more" feels like an overstatement.

This was my thought too, it sounds like something written for Wikipedia Simple English.
"Original" is the issue there. They're far more likely to open source a modern UWP app, written with current best practices in mind, rather than a 20 year old C app with untold terrors hiding in the codebase. If they ever rework Notepad into a UWP app, I suspect that would be open sourced, as I expect many newer Windows components to be.
This is all well and good but where's the apology? Where's the I was wrong? Like it or not, Zuckerberg has a personal brand that screams I'll screw you over if it'll get me to my goals. Nobody is going to trust him, or Facebook, until he rehabilitates himself, and this doesn't cut it.

While I agree and I hate the NSA's practice of hoarding zero days, they do this to keep software vulnerable on purpose. They've invested millions in uncovering zero days SPECIFICALLY so they could then spend millions more to be the only ones exploiting these vulnerabilities. If they share the zero day, the vendor will write a patch and it's game-over for their multi-million dollar exploit.

Don't get me wrong, it's entirely inappropriate for an American government agency to be subverting the security of American products made by American companies and used by the American public. We have a unique opportunity that no other country has to coordinate our secret intelligence work with the private sector to completely own the security industry, but we allow our government to take an adversarial approach to defense. It's insane and criminal, but that's how it is.

Imagine how effective an intelligence campaign would be against, say, Iran, if the NSA went to Microsoft, disclosed a vuln, and then told them to patch the vuln ONLY in specific markets. Roll out the patch to American companies first, but leave select targets still vulnerable. No other country could get Microsoft to do that except the United States... And we waste that opportunity by trying to lone-wolf everything.
I feel like we've come a long way in educating the general public about the importance of data privacy but reading some of the comments on this Facebook post made me realize there's still quite a lot of work to be done.

I’ve often struggled with the question of what does it mean to visit a place. Does it mean take pictures, walk the streets, talk to locals? What qualifies as a visit?

If I stay inside someone’s home for a week spending time with them but not leaving the house, does that count as visiting that city/state/country?

What about if I walk the streets for 3 days but don’t talk to anyone local?

Do I need to spend money? Do I need to visit tourist sites? Do I need to visit a museum?

I like to record memories but I don’t post or tweet or gram. Does that mean I’m visiting? Or not visiting?
Buying with friends is a good way to end up with a lot of problems.

Are you absolutely sure that you really want to spend every day living with your college buddies for the 30 years of a mortgage, covering them when they are short, either living with their filth or cleaning up after them, as well as dealing with all the long term house guests and pets they bring in?

The court cases resolving these sorts of breakups make bitter divorces look like a walk in the park.

But they are not quite as bad as when two business partners who started a business without an ironclad contract have a break up.

Having fun with someone once a week to watch sports on TV on weekends, playing beach sports, hiking and camping, hanging out in pubs, etc, doesn't mean you're compatible enough to have fun living with them every single day in a small space for several decades.

Notable exception is long term unmarried best friends who are basically married to each other but it's platonic. These relationships are fairly rare.

Pushing friend mortgages to the general public as a solution to unaffordable housing is a good strategy for mortgage brokers and real estate agents who work in those markets. They don't have to deal with the fall out of the break up so it's only upside from their point of view.
I get the tongue in cheekness of the comment with the ";D" but I think I qualified how lucky I feel several times and that it is an anecdote/sample size of one.

When we bought people thought it was the peak of the market and that is part of the people telling us it was crazy. We had no thoughts of the market continuing to go up when we bought. Our main focus was possibly making a bit on the renovations.

Even if the the market had gone down or sideways, and we didn't sell, I would have been fine with it. If we had lived there for the rest of our lives, I would have been fine with it. I liked the location and with the renovations, it was a great house.

It wasn't a get rich quick "scheme". Buying with friends was a way to buy a home. We were constantly being renovicted. We didn't have a place we felt was home. That house was home and buying with fiends was the only way it was possible.

Is there any info on how GrayKey worked? My understanding is that in recent models the SEP was supposed to prevent that kind of brute forcing of passcodes at the hardware level — and also enforce a secure boot chain that prevents loading hostile firmware (which it looks like GrayKey did based on screen shots). This would seem to involve an exploit of the SEP which is very serious... or was there some simpler exploit?

Anyone?
