I'm not saying that Tesla has no valuable IP (it's brand IP is quite valuable).

I wonder if this is related to the fact Facebook passwords are (were?) not case sensitive?[1]

The guide was fine until "Switch DNS to 1.1.1.1".

The real solution is to use your own DNS resolver (I've been running Bind on my laptop for years with no issues). If that's not an option, it's still far better to keep using your ISP's resolvers -- yes, your ISP may be evil, but at least you're their customer. When a separate for-profit company provides a "free" service, how can the product be anything but your personal data?
I suppose given the necessarily tight integration that replacing the batteries is near-impossible on these? I've actually come around on the "non-replaceable" batteries on phones because it ends up being literally a once-in-a-lifetime event for the phone, and it turns out that it's actually just an hour or so to replace the battery.

But these AirPods are so damn tiny it's hard to imagine them being constructed in any way that isn't filled with glue and making clean battery replacement straight up impossible.
I have looked into this in the past and came to the same conclusion. Essentially, the "password" sent to the website is the client-side salted/hashed version of the user's actual password. The server could then salt/hash the "password" another time before storing it. This could result in the same issue if the "password" is logged, but it protects the user's true password from being discovered. Maybe a security expert can weight in on this, because I don't understand why this wouldn't be the standard.
Yep, and it was also a sort of "rite of passage" that every 18 year old took or wished to take.
Nice work.

I feel like APIs often accept form encoding solely because it allows you to show curl examples. However since nested objects don't always flatten nicely you end up with a special syntax or do not allow nesting at all.

In this case you can't update an invoice and it's line items at once - which seems a little odd to me. It would be the most convenient thing to do from the API consumers perspective - which is what APIs should aim for.
It isn't returns. It is deflation.

I dont think that matters. The only time you care about existing city architecture is when youre building a tram. Most trams use standard gauge and that works fine.

Tunnel width does not depend directly on the gauge but on the loading gauge, i.e. the size of the car. That is generally wider than would be required by the gauge.

On the other hand, using the same gauge as other rail means you can run trains across both old and new infrastructure.

> What happens when people realize transfer medium is being debased? They'll obviously try not to store value in that transfer medium.

Arguably, to some proponents of MMT/in some versions of MMT, this is a feature and not a bug. Economically speaking, stored value at rest isn't "interesting", it's a potential indicator of waste or inefficiency of resource utilization in current flows. I've heard the argument that the real "bug" here is the human psychological need to "hoard" stationary value/"keep score", which admittedly is a very hard problem to solve, but having hard problems to solve isn't necessarily a disproof of a hypothesis such as MMT.
Ah, sorry about that. I got hung up on the second half of your post. Can't say I can think of a good automated solution for bad security hygiene among employees. :/

Though if you guys primarily use Git, this does wonders: https://github.com/zricethezav/gitleaks

The only thing I can think of that would help prevent credential compromises is to either implement a company password manager (akin to your butt-in-seat solution) with an ACL, and only accessible on the local network. That shouldn't be too much friction for employees to actually utilize it.

Next is having a secure channel to transmit secrets. That + Password manager has personally helped stop my coworkers in the past from sending passwords in emails, slack messages, post-it notes, text files on their computer, a committed file in a repo, etc.

My anecdotal experience (age 33 now) is that sleep deprivation has a huge effect on time perception. If I get only 5-6h of sleep, a week can go by and feel only 1/3 as long as normally. When well rested and not stressed, a week can stretch forever.
This is the same as:

Server sends nonce
Client sends HMAC(nonce + password + time)

Your inner HMAC becomes the new password which now is stored in plaintext in the DB. You just call it something else.

Aaand? That doesn't make it legal to take internal data about how the car itself was made. Reverse engineering is a complicated process, and one that is costly, and thus makes it risky to do- especially when we're talking ginormous batteries one errant screwdriver away from discharging- and is why it's generally acceptable to reverse a vehicle and not acceptable to take internal documents.

For example: knowing that someone machined the 6061 aluminum in the engine is completely different from knowing that it took twelve tries and a five-axis mill to do so, and that the entire chassis takes twelve hours to assemble, twenty people, and fifty-three robots.
It will result in inflation, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. At its heart inflation is just a wealth transfer from creditor to debtor (god forbid, right? creditors are king).

The real issues are that:

* Inflation is treated as a bogeyman in the investor managed media rather than an integral and necessary part of a monetary system (you want real pain? try DEflation).

* Complete misrepresentation of the risks of hyper inflation and a total misrepresentation of why it happens (e.g. idiotically pretending that all zimbabwe/weimar/venezuela did was spend just a little bit too much on social programs).

I kind of wish inflation were kept in band between 7 and 12% via fiscal spending and taxation (as MMT says is possible). That would keep it below the level at which it would impact growth and above the level where wealth slowly gets hoarded by the 1%.
the low visual quality is becoming more and more visible as TV screens get bigger and better. It would be great to have those old shows in a quality that fits our new screens, that's all.

You are thinking of Article 13 (the upload filter), which hasn't been passed yet. Not to be a pendant, but an initialism cannot be meaningless almost by definition -- it has to mean something otherwise it wouldn't be an initialism. GDPR means the "General Data Privacy Regulation".

FWIW, I completely agree with you on the chilling effect of upload filters. But upload filters aren't part of GDPR by any stretch of the imagination.
Do proxies usually log POST data? Are these proxies terminating TLS?

Either way, yeah, you're right - it is not a perfect solution. But it means that for any system your engineers build, so long as they build them using your web framework that imposes this password type, you can grep your codebase for bugs.

You could implement client side hashing as a best-effort "in transit" mechanism but that has obvious downsides. Not sure how I'd feel about that approach in practice, but I can't see a big downside.
Depends on the job. If you're a licensed professional, this could very much be the result of you "being bad at your job".

Amtrak's been stripping meals out of the service to save money. The Silver Star [correction: not Silver Meteor also], which runs the length of the east coast from Maine to Florida and back, for example, has no meal car. You can buy the roomettes and the rooms, still for significantly more than a plane ticket, but they do not come with meals. There's a "snack" car for all passengers with a microwave where you can buy chips or a hot dog, and it's only open some of the time. The sleeper cars are also dirty and falling apart, and there is no observation car.

Between e.g. central and west US you'd have a physical ping of ~10ms so 20 round trip just based on the speed of light (i.e. very hard to get rid of).
Meanwhile the input lag you want is one or two frames so on the same order. But this lag is additive, when the game receives the new state it has to compute and render the world, the display has its lag before it shows up etc. So the new frame has to start computing as soon as the input is registered in order to hit reasonable input lag.

Predicting 2-3 frames should't beyond what we can do at least roughly. Especially for some important inputs such as turning in first person view it should basically just start moving the screen. I belive John Carmack tried some kind of rotational prediction (Not based on AI) for Oculus.

Oh, right, actually they don't. So in fact it is actually impossible to default on debt in your own currency and you're admitting as much.

Right. And a reduction of value of a currency is also called inflation. Which is pretty well accounted for within the discussion.

Amtrak isn't a government agency though. It's a public-private partnership AFAIK
Yes, it does. Thank you.
I’m sorry you had to go through this. Alas, this can happen in most civilized countries that protect renters. We rent out an appartment in Austria, and had a similar, but less devastating situation. In the end, public welfare paid up for them, because they did live on welfare. Interestingly, the eviction failed because the renters just „forgot“ to move everything out of the apartment, and over the next 2y, welfare paid all dues because they couldn’t find a cheaper stay for them. Then, they moved out on their own.
The data they collect on users is the threat to google or Facebook. That means they can have better targeting and start their own ad network.

If commerce based data is better than search or “like” based data (which it should be) then they can offer a more cost effective platform. This is a direct shot across the bow.
Actually, now that I've been able to read the lawsuit, #2 and #3 are irrelevant.

Zoox isn't even to the point of making a product yet--its still in the prototyping stage, and Tesla accused it of stealing logistics IP related to supply chain management and storage. So Tesla can't show them of #1 (using the IP) because Zoox simply isn't in the position of being able to use the IP.
And that storage does not have to be weight- or space-efficient. It doesnt have to fit into a car, just into Australia.

My impression is that if someone paid for placement, Amazon will label the items as such.

So in a detail page you'll see "Frequently bought together" (not paid placement), "Sponsored products related to this item" (paid), "Customers who bought this item also bought" (not paid).

Whether or not you think it's an ad is up to you... they're all trying to get you to buy more. :-)

Throttling CPU in a non-transparent and non-configurable manner is not an acceptable means to increase longevity.Maybe it works for your grandmother who just wants to continue to send text messages, but most people want to use their smartphones for running actual applications.

Particularly when iphone batteries have honestly not shown to be that difficult to replace batteries of. But when you start throttling perceived performance, you're not willing to replace battery for something that as far as you know has lost it's ability to perform at it's original capacity.

I agree with your first point, but it's frankly absurd to imply that secret CPU throttling is a remotely acceptable manner of extending longevity.

It must be noted that this applies only to new homes, which are sold, temporarily.

Amsterdam builds around 5k homes a year (or about 1% of total stock). Of those 5k, about 40% are sold, 40% are rented to as social housing, the rest rented at market rates. So we're talking about a law that applies to about 2k homes per year, or <0.5% of the homes in the city, and likely only for the first two years. (there's no legal instruments or interest to restrict an person's use of his property long-term).

No huge impact, mostly symbolic. Plus, one can wonder whether it's effective. There's a lot of criticism on investors buying homes at market value and renting them out at market value, when really it has absolutely no bearing on the available housing stock to all citizens. There's a lot of rhetoric aimed against investors, which is kind of weird. Amsterdam is a transient place for many, so a strong non-social and non-purchase rental market has its place. Investors buy homes and rent them out to meet this demand. It pushes up prices, yes, but only because they're meeting this real demand from real people. And this higher price point is generating construction business that wouldn't exist (due to lack of economic feasibility) at the price levels of five years ago. This is what is creating new homes which actually solves the underlying problem: a housing shortage, which you can't solve by restricting use of property, capping prices or taxing investors, but by increasing the housing stock.

I appreciate a it's not as black and white as 'just let the market figure it out', but the current policy maker for housing is a member of the socialist party. I've enjoyed their impact on local politics generally, but I think some of their housing proposals aren't effective. Especially not in a housing context which is already extremely distorted by national housing & welfare policy and where market forces very are limited and produce weird outcomes. I'm not against this particular idea, but I also don't see it as a big win either. It's small at best, and ineffective at worst. We'll see.
Debuggers are one of those things that I almost never use, and have a completely unearned distaste for. Literally every single time I've used a debugger it's been useful, but it's never something I think about using off the cuff. Maybe I'm just an incompetent goober who spends too much time on IRC :)

I've been getting into Julia a bit for personal projects, since I like it better than Python, so maybe this will be a good excuse to learn how to use debuggers more effectively.
And if Tesla had actually managed to get the logistics part down (i.e,. the IP at stake in these lawsuits), nobody would be regarding Tesla as a shit show today.

Tesla's car designs and brand IP are currently very valuable. They're also not the subject of these lawsuits...
Thanks for this, I also didn't think they looked any different.

I used to think this as well, but the model of the human mind as some kind of steam machine that "builds up pressure" and needs to "let off steam" are leftovers from a view of psychology stemming from early industrialisation. Our language is still littered with expressions like this, which I think affects how we think the mind works.

I do think video games might have an impact though, but only as a distraction. They are so compelling that other activities are crowded out, including bad ones.
