I don't see how Roman gladiatorial combat is so different from modern sports. The only major difference is the fact that nearly all gladiators were slaves, but otherwise I see no difference between gladiators and UFC fighting tournaments (or for that matter, American football).

This is weird to read because I celebrate shrinking countries, they represent a path forward towards high quality of life and lower ecological impact.

Why would it be an issue, assuming we weren't fighting a way, for a country to shrink? There will of course be some economic hurdles to over come as constant and unsustainable growth is done away with, but after that what is the issue?

If there is a shortage, by supply and demand, wages should go up.

If they want to pay less, they should be out saying that there is an over supply and they can get workers for whatever wage they actually want.

You haven't explained how a shortage can lead to paying less on the part of companies... I still don't understand this logic.
on point: Japan doesn't allow street parking (or at least, it's very rare), but even the densest cities have parking available off street - charging market rates, sometimes using car-elevators, many solutions that more efficiently avoid the issues with using government-paved roads as free parking
That's a good question. I've worked on a couple of products with those and never thought about it.

It seems to me that the interesting angle to this would be to avoid manufacture and instead spend your time on radical CPU designs on FPGA to be made from scratch later. No doubt that doesn't meet the needs of the folks in India.
>Aren't most mental disorders just behaviors that differ from the norm and make it difficult for those people to function in everyday society?

(Story time.) I went to a presentation one time at work about mental health. (It was part of the government's mental health awareness campaign[0].) In this presentation, the presenter mentioned bathing/lack of changing clothes as a marker for possible mental health issues.

As someone who grew up in a very poor area, where the water came from wells (which oft could dry-up) or the folk couldn't afford but to wash their clothes once a month in the local washateria (if that), I took issue with this idea.

From a privileged, lower-middle class or above perspective, sure, you could say that it's a possible indicator of mental health issues; however, if this were a normalised version of someone's life, having growing up so poor/destitute, would it really be a sign of mental health issues or would it just be a byproduct of their lower social-class life?

So, I guess I have to say that the answer to your question is, "yes": Your "norm" could be vastly different from someone else's.

I'm not so sure it failed. I use IntelliJ IDEA daily, people in my office use WebStorm for Javascript development. There are Swing applications out there that people use, admittedly the ones I've seen are mostly business software. And of course all Android applications are leveraging Java.

It's argued that only IDEs use Java, but Java + Swing strikes me as the most popular cross-platform language and toolkit currently in use.
Population decline is mostly driven by the more rural areas of Japan. Tokyo's population is still rising.
OTOH, possibly the oldest known prion disease is scrapie, which has been known in sheep for centuries. Scrapie, unlike BSE, does not appear to be communicable to humans. But: susceptibility to scrapie is highly genetic and easily tested for. Most shepherds in the US are doing genetic testing and selecting specifically for genetic immunity in their flocks. My own flock is about 75% fully immune, with the remainders having one of the two genes needed, which makes them highly resistant but not completely immune.

To me this seems indicative that there could well be pharmaceutical treatments for prion disease. They just haven’t been a big enough problem to really address yet.

It also may indicate that genetic resistance could quickly spread through deer populations once the disease starts exerting enough evolutionary pressure.

Great video,
There are three targets for VoIP Spear.

1. Personal: Home users use VoIP Spear to monitor their VoIP service to provide information to their service providers about the problems they are experiencing.

2. SME: Businesses that have VoIP use VoIP Spear in the same way as the home users.

3. Service providers: Service providers use VoIP Spear because it is an inexpensive and cheap way to get data about the issues their customers are experiencing. Most VoIP service providers are typically unable to get any data about the quality of phone calls their customers experience.
is there technology around this? i mean i can imagine an API where the CC# itself is only necessary in the first transaction with a new vendor, during which the vendor makes a (signed) request for a vendor-specific token to use for future payments, and can forget the CC# immediately; future payment requests use the same signature chain and the vendor-specific token... making it easy to invalidate any/all of these tokens if the data is compromised, or if the end-user wants to invalidate a specific recurring payment, etc.

i'm in fantasy land, right?

That is pretty egregious, and its also par for the course.

And that is why startup companies go through all the hoops of being "stealth" and having NDAs and what not. There was a German VC firm that was, as I recall, very upfront about this. Clone a successful US company before it got to the European market.

On the one hand it is great to have validation of the idea, on the other its a pain to have someone with more money in the bank able to spend it on marketing and spinning the narrative in their favor.

Since the ability to get a foreign company (in this case Israeli) to do anything is limited, your best bet is to out execute them. Also, love them or hate them, having patents helps in situations like these.

The reality is that if an idea is really good, the people who came up with it know it better than anyone and that gives them a tremendous advantage in terms of knowing what is important and what isn't. Companies have been known to talk about expensive and complicated features or options in order to get people trying to copy their success to waste time and money on something for which there is no actual demand. It is no doubt worth investing in understanding how one's enemies are getting their information and shutting that off if possible.

I am not sure about "prefers", but both glare and heat can be a problem. To a large extent it is trying to "polish a turd". In small spaces a little extra space, a single wall or other improvements make a huge difference.

I lived in shared accommodations, barracks, dorm rooms, serviced apartments and whatnot. The equation mostly doesn't change. You need like five square meters for every "feature".
There are other methods of occlusion and obfuscation to fool FR, varying in range of application and corresponding with the level of paranoia. The adversarial patch seems to fall somewhere along the lines of clothing that have images of faces or eyes on them to confuse FR until the algorithms eventually get better at recognising and countering them.

Applying the "reinventing the wheel" meme to scenarios like this kind of misses that wheels actually have been reinvented numerous times resulting in major advancements in wheel technology.

Reinventing the wheel takes a lot of effort to be worth doing, because it takes a lot of effort to improve foundational technology, but it is sometimes worth doing if you are going to put an appropriate level of resources into it.

This is pretty common in the web hosting scene, which this site's owner also runs a similar dodgy website in. You see the same dodgy news article setup, the same reliance on affiliate links for monetisation, the same questionable reviews, hell even the owner being a non existent shill under a fake name.

The likes of the FTC and ASA definitely need to get more involved in these markets, and start fining busineses/site owners hiding their links to promoted companies and what not.

With the type of comments here, I think they also expect everyone to start learning to program with writing a kernel instead of a hello world. Yes, it is underpowered and relies on old tech, but I guess if they just want to test the waters for a commercial chip industry, it makes much more sense to start with something small that can check the infrastructure, instead of going for a 7nm chip on their first try.

Not as good as the average Tedium article.

The funny thing was the converter box thing was a bust. For one thing, nearly 90% of people around that time got TV from cable or satellite and were not directly affected. Cable was the "backup plan" for people who kept SDTVs.

Also, the benefits of HDTVs over SDTVs were large enough that most people got HDTVs even before the broadcasts were fully available. I remember my baby boomer relatives in a competition to have the hugest TVs in their living rooms.

Retrospectively the upgrade went easily.

Then you charge for street parking permits, which you should if the street parking has value.

A lot of places do this, where they charge a few thousand a year to park on the street.

A lot of people don't need parking. And we are forcing them to pay for it. That's bad policy. My old condo had like $80,000 worth of parking attached to it with two spaces. I only needed one of the space.
Not anymore. They paywalled previous returns which were free for the past 5+ years.
I want to take this opportunity to mention that the IRS Free Fillable Forms service is completely free for anyone.

It might not be the best choice for everyone, but I found that despite all these tax services' low cognitive load, they ask so many questions with so many steps that the actual time that it takes to file with TurboTax wasn't actually any faster than just biting the bullet and reading some instructions.

Again, I think it's not a great choice for many people but it's the one I'll be using moving forward.

You've repeated AP's failing this isn't a workflow nor a replacement replacement debugging concept. It is a design paradigm that lessens the need for heavy weight debugging.

Debugging still has its usecases. I, like others, just see it as an infrequently required tool when most systems when properly composed simply lack the complexity required to make them useful.

> It's not about a "need to step through because your code is too complex", more about validating the code you just wrote, whether it still "feels right" after it has been dumped from your mental model into actual code.

Debuggers are for debugging. Not development.

It's not a rule without excception but in the general sense I would be very concerned to see a developer using the debugger on a daily basis especially if they're using it for state validation.

Like what are you validating that your tests aren't? Why aren't your tests validating it?

The need for a debugger is a symptom of a sick system. I have never required a debugger on a healthy system.

I've used them on healthy systems for more complex problem sets but by and large I only reach for them when someone has done something appalling.
But you can understand the outrage: now two sets of developers can do this.

I'm still getting over the fact I upgraded the radio on my car back in 2010 with a USB stick and using the driver's side door to control the process. I think a well-documented API that shows exactly how my car is vulnerable is a step up.

Yes, good clarification. Likely mostly devs. It really depends on the kind of work you do.

But, when it matters, it REALLY matters.
I can't imagine how horrible a single captive solution from the IRS would be compared to one spawned by the competitive marketplace.

Now why our tax code needs to be so complex that it requires software like Turbo Tax is certainly a fair question.

Its OAuth documentation - its a very well described standard protocol. Most of the OAuth documentation looks and reads exactly like this. The only "smoking gun" is the "random" value used for the state parameter, which seems to be copied over - and developers copy other products/sites documentation ALL THE TIME.

While there is substance in the post that some other company is building the same product, saying that its literally cloning it and using documentation similarity for a standardized protocol is not really cutting it.

Actually, I have no problem reading the 391 page manual first because I've learned, the hard way, that that's the best (only) way to make sure you're not overlooking something - it's my boss who has a problem with it. Thy fingers shalt be on thy keyboard at all times and thou shalt be closing Jira tickets as fast as possible.
So they built a new product to a competitor's API spec? There is nothing wrong with that, the API itself is a plug - you need to implement the backend to compete.

It is super lame and dumb to have ripped off their doc, but the API format itself is not an issue to me. If I were going to implement a competitor to Google Maps, it would make sense to copy the Maps API so people can migrate seamlessly. That is the nature of SaaS.

The core value proposition is not in API design, it's in the implementation.

Not just in case of a compromise - many issuers will let things go through to the old # when it expires and a new card is sent out.

This can create unforseen problems that aren't fraud related as well.

For example, I had to replace my iPhone at one point, and update my 2FA codes. (Even if you back up your iPhone reguarly, 2FA codes in Google Authenticator are not backed up)

Unfortunately, I'd lost my recovery code for one service provider. They wanted the last 4 of my CC a one of the points of data in their verification process.

Then told me it was incorrect.

Luckily, the CC issuer (who sadly, for security reasons I'd rather not name) had some excellent customer service.

They realized that they had been billing the previous card number since it was a known re-occurring payment, and were able to work with me to retrieve the last four digits of the old card number via an old statement, enabling access to my account.

I've since moved over all my reoccuring payments to that issuer. (And made a document outlining which merchants have which cards on autopay so I can update them when cards are re-issued + backed up my 2FA recovery codes in a secure, offsite, physical location)
