One, you should provide citations for the numbers specified in your claims, otherwise they are an ad absurdum argument.

And two, maybe the number did increase? It's been reported by multiple sources in multiple countries, and been addressed by the UN (see my previous comment with sources), I don't know what other burden of support you could logically need.
He was clearly an amateur since he had never made any kind of movie.

But his intent was to make a professional/commercial film.

They are not necessarily disjoint concepts.

To top that off, at the end of the interview he gives himself a humorous critique suggesting he found his own work failed to make the professional grade.
It's brilliant for memorizing random facts, so yes. It could be very useful for programming interviews.
I wonder if they realize they're leaving the other group disinterested in consuming news.

I don't read news anymore. Haven't for years. Initially it was because I found it too depressing, later on I realized that a) almost nothing on the news is meaningful to my life and b) it's mostly full of bullshit designed to grab eyeballs, but recently I realized yet another motivation: I don't read news because of the narrative style. I'd probably read some if I could find a source that actually cared about inverted pyramid, and ideally just made the story a list of bullet points. Having to burn brain cycles to tease out actual facts from someone's storytelling is just a waste of time to me.
In reality though, this change has been live for a year. How many of the malicious actors switched to the model of uninstalling Firefox Stable and installing Firefox Developer Edition? (And presumably updating all the user’s aliases, start menu items, etc to point to the new browser).

Maybe they put a keylogging device between the keyboard ribbon cable and the motherboard? Say this device exfiltrates keypresses via a radio and a government agency, knowing where you work or live, can then pick up the data wirelessly.

It’s a bit sci-fi, but well within the resources of any of these governments.
Just a nitpick, but the word you’re looking for is discretionary. :)

We would all do well to follow this example though - NIH and reinventing the wheel are huge problems in our profession. Great work!
The issue with CFS isn't to do with stigma against mental illness. It's with the mainstream medical community being uninterested in anything other than mental health treatments for a disease that clearly has a physical (viral/immune) component in the vast majority of cases. There are drugs for depression, and vast amounts of research has gone into their development. Why no similar research effort into drugs for CFS? It's not because we don't know what causes it -- we don't know what causes depression in many cases. It's not because there aren't enough sufferers -- there are millions. It's not because of lack of demand, or lack of existing costs to medical systems, or anything like that.

It's because the medical establishment doesn't really think CFS is a thing. They don't care about it, they don't pay attention to it, they don't see it as real. It's not a fatal disease in the same way that cancer is, and its symptoms sound like a teenager complaining about not wanting to go to school. The answer, as far as the medical establishment is concerned, is that nothing's really terribly wrong, buck up, and you'll be better soon. Oh, and take these antidepressants. Any mental illness inevitably brought on by being chronically physically ill (and not really believed) is pointed to as the underlying issue.

(I mean the above to represent how the medical community collectively sees CFS. There are certainly individuals within the community who take it very seriously. There are simply too few of them, and too few in positions of authority. And, to be fair, as I commented below, it can be very difficult to distinguish between CFS and a neurotic who just needs to be told they are fine and sent home, especially if you only have a very short time to interview them.)

It's upsetting, but it's easy to see how a bunch of what seem like tired, unhappy people with normal blood tests aren't leaping out as needing special attention. That's why a biomarker is massive. All of a sudden the medical community has to pay attention, will want to pay attention. It's a huge new drug market, if nothing else...

Let's hope this biomarker holds up under further tests. There's still a long way to go before I get too excited.
> Why do border services think they can seize a device and send it to a lab?

Because they can. But the bigger question is the "should" of it.
I think I've mentioned it before on a story like this but if you watch the Border Security shows it's pretty obvious what most of the people they search end up being. Yeah it's a show but it's a pretty good slice of what they get.

Here's the American version.

That's kind of irrelevant; city growth has always been more a question of internal migration than fertility.

(Rome and many pre-industrial cities usually had negative population replacement rates because disease was such a problem. People still came.)
There has been plenty of proof. See my other comments. There has not been any proof that they don't exist. If you're making a positive claim you need to add sources. Otherwise you're getting into a celestial teapot argument. "Can't disprove it so it has to be true."

> Can this be used to get whatever case(es) he was defending thrown out

Along the same lines a case could be made for legal malpractice if it was reasonable for the attorney to know that there could be a search (and it is he is an attorney and the assumption is he is familiar with the law). It is similar to putting his phone unlocked in a car and the phone or the car is stolen. There is a reasonable expectation that the attorney will safeguard client materials (is what I would argue). (Paper files in the office and not giving the proper protection the same).

Bottom line is the fact that he is an attorney does not magically in itself also mean he doesn't have to take prudent steps to prevent the release of information (with regards to malpractice).
I've done a hobby project where I'm using pure RPi GPIO to drive a servo motor with PWM, so processor interrupts would ruin my day. So I can tell you that the rate at which modern Linux interrupts a running application is massively overstated. If your system is configured right, that happens maybe two or three times a second at most.

If you're running on a dedicated core, as you should, 99% of the time your application just happily runs along.
Been there... since my library is now a little over a thousand physical books, and in multiple languages.

If you have a Mac, get a copy of Delicious Library (https://www.delicious-monster.com/) and a compatible barcode scanner, like the Flic.

If you have an Android phone, and you're happy with dealing with your phone and CSV export, you'll probably be okay with Libib (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.libib.app).

The biggest issue is that there are tonnes of books (especially if like me you have older ones) that predate ISBN. That kinda sucks - but it's life.

This is not just cool with respect to communication and long-distance communication, but my intuitive mind tells me that there's something here with respect to quantum computing as well, that is, mapping data/information to very small, spherical(*) points in space... I footnoted spherical, because you can think of spherical as a 3 dimensional system, but the idea should extend to N dimensions as well... Anyway, fascinating! Great article!

Is taking days normal or reasonable for car maintenance? I've never had my conventional car in for maintenance for more than about six hours.
How is it different from any other browser extension? They are all like that, aren't they?
Sure. I'm just tired of all news being of this kind (or long-form writing). I can't find any news sources optimized for communicating facts and facts only, as efficiently as possible.
Firefox includes content blocking, so it's not that bad.
That really wont fool them though. EFF recommends against it too.
That’s disappointing to see. I had assumed it used PBKDF or something sane.

Of course if Mozilla had wanted to secure the config settings they could just fix the master password hashing functionality at the same time.
Start networking if your not already, and talking to your existing contacts - Consultancy opportunities more often than not come from your immediate network of people, certainly in the short term.
This feels like an overly broad and disingenuous interpretation of the word shilling. He provided an alternative view, bolstered with facts (and yes, went overboard with Nazism comparisons).
I have asked this question before, but never really got a satisfiable answer: why do governments (not just USA/canada) spend these resources to check data physically at a border?

It's not like you need to 'smuggle' any form of data physically.

I mean, any data considered to be dangerous (like terrorist attack plans, atomic bomb designs or political inside information) can be accessed across borders via the internet. You don't need to have those on any of your devices.

And even if you had the data on a laptop, how does border patrol even know what they are looking at?
I watch that show as well. But I don't remember if they simply asked the person if they could search or demanded that they be able to search. Anyone who watches reality tv (for example 'Live PD') knows there are many cases where the police officer simply gains consent from the suspect for a search without any particular legal reason or right to do so. Now if they suspect they can (from watching) bring in a canine and if the canine smells something they then have probable cause (I believe) w/o getting a warrant (this is from memory and not a legal opinion that I have researched).
I was born in the 80s so I have zero context for either decade.

Recently watched the CNN documentaries on each decade and it was truly eye opening how nuts things were essentially every decade in one way or another. But above all of then, the 70s seemed like the WEIRDEST time to me.

Highly recommend the documentaries - super informative. Was fun to re-live the 90s and 00s a bit too.
PantherX Operating System
This is more like exception handling than scheduled maintenance.

Owners were in accidents and needed urgent repairs. They took the vehicles to Tesla Authorized (but not Tesla) repair centers. Those repair centers had issues getting parts.

The experience is totally different than scheduled maintenance.

We had an issue with the dash panel on ours and scheduled an appointment with Tesla for work under warranty. They asked for pictures and made sure the part was on hand when we showed up. They swapped it out in under an hour and offered us a loaner or Lyft ride in the mean time.
Why aren't plausible deniability passwords a feature in operating systems? Especially since many now offer full disk encryption.

What would happen to these searches if plausible deniability passwords became more widely used?
Everyone here, including you, is dismissing the idea that it's actually harmful. Maybe the people who made those paintings didn't see it that way.

"Born with a silver spoon in their mouth" is not usually a nice thing to say. It usually means they are basically overprivileged assholes.

In chelation groups, metal poisoning is generally viewed as having a negative impact on the personality. Perhaps people who routinely dealt with "blue bloods" had enough first-hand experience to notice that visible signs of silver poisoning correlated to asshole behavior.

Anyway, I don't actually think the questions being put to me are in good faith from people sincerely curious about my knowledge or my opinions. I think the pattern of downvotes and questions suggests everyone here thinks I'm a clueless idiot and they are trying to politely let me know how stupid I am because civility is demanded by the rules of the forum.

So continuing to try to answer questions in good faith is likely making me look stubborn, pigheaded, difficult and so much of a nutjob that there is no hope of reaching me.

It's not a dance I care to engage in further.

Adieu.
They could replace part of the password-checking software with a backdoored version that would send your password off to them. Your data is protected, but the OS can still compromise it and a bad actor can replace parts of the OS (which is open source in both of your cases, making the process even easier).
Wouldn't that require an unreasonably thick atmosphere? Our current atmosphere is only around 10 miles high. (Obviously, it all depends on what you consider as your cutoff.)
Why not Matrix.org & Modular.im or host your own Synapse server?
We're getting to the point where simple devices without the full range of security capabilities just aren't tenable anymore. Wireless devices should be securely keyed. The protocols cannot expose the key. They should be immune to replay attacks and eavesdropping. They should also be immune to simple jamming.

It's like how people in the country in most cases can have a wood fire, and it's no problem. Get to the population density of the city, and backyard wood fires become the major source of particulate air pollution. It's like how in the early days of electricity, there were to GFCI safety devices and everything was just bare conductors on ceramic insulators nailed into wood. We're not in those days anymore.
"To cut the story short, I had to accept that there is nothing I can do with the networking issues and there are likely to be significant “bursts” of dropped packets that will cause disconnection of our MySQL8 cluster nodes.

So we know there is very likely an infrastructure problem. The question is, can we mitigate it on the application layer?"

That seems unwise. It's on DigitalOcean, so they could have migrated to different VPS instances and checked to see if the problem followed.
Well, at least it’s not just the US that abuses this.
A Simple Spectroscope
Are you in one of the major metro areas are you in a smaller city, and are you being serviced by Tesla directly or an authorized mechanic? Also I think scheduled maintenance would be things you could prepare for, whereas this article is talking about repairs for presumably unanticipated events.

Also, scheduled maintenance took a couple of days? I get antsy when I have to wait more than a couple of hours.

I guess reading is more fun the more you write. I stop to think about concepts laid in books more often than not, which provokes myself to write immediately. Also, you see the way people write and which words they use, which you can immediately copy. Finally, I don't really know what it is, but if I spend even 10 minutes during breakfast to read a book, I find myself more productive in writing later the day.
A couple of days is a really long time!

When I had a car I wouldn't expect it to be away for more than a day unless it was having extensive work done.

Most things like regular servicing, fixing niggles it's a case of drop it off in the morning and pick it up later in the day.
Since poor sleep quality is a core symptom of CFS I can't help wonder if sleep is the underlying component. I think we've all underestimated the critical nature of sleep in immune, metabolic, stress, cognitive aspects, etc. It's also hard to self-assess the quality of your sleep, eg. clock-time at each phase, central apnea events, 02 saturation, noise/ light/ movement disturbances while you are asleep, etc.
What's to fix? Contractors don't have the same shadow of having to pay out severance or even the emotional investment of having to fire an employee.

It seems perfectly natural that management would be much more selective for permanent employee hires than for contractors.
With SDN the PoP would only need to receive the TCP request and proxy TCP acks.

Raw data could flow from a different PoP that's closer to DC.

That really depends on the type of maintenance. I've had situations where Honda kept my car for 24-48 hours because they needed to source a part and I'd scheduled the maintenance for a Saturday.

I've also had situations where an issue was discovered during regular maintenance and Honda again asked to keep the car and rectify the problem under warranty. In that case it was a cracked engine block and they said "that's not suppose to happen". It took a few days to fix.
I wonder this myself. There is a difference between traveling for the purposes of work, and working while traveling. I have a 100% remote position. I normally do my work in the US. I've considered flying to Europe for a few weeks, where due to time zone differences I could do touristy stuff during the day and then work my US 9-5 shift in the EU evening. This would allow me to travel but to not take vacation time. Would this require a work visa?

> A pirated MP3 or video file

In the first place, piracy is not illegal in Canada. Provisions surrounding copyright violations fall under bill C11, and that's a civil juncture, not a criminal one. So CBSA agents wouldn't be looking for that in the first place, nor would they have any grounds to do anything about it, since they aren't the rightsholders.

And even if they did, they have an interesting burden of proof in proving a given file was obtained via piracy. And what would they do? Detain you indefinitely because they want to "have a discussion" about some pirated Katy Perry song? I would agree that photos of doing drugs could be met with refusal at the border, but be reasonable.
> Either you need to partner with someone who knows the domain (a doctor) and discuss every detail with them, or you have lots of learning to do. :)

Right, so your answer from before wasn't correct.

And sure, if you give me 8 years I can do a medical study and make the expertise my own, but in reality there is not a single customer on the planet who is willing to wait 8 years and pay millions for some programmers to become medical professionals.
Unlike the stolen phone, in this case it would be the same entity that's stealing confidential data, and holding him responsible for the data getting stolen - the government.
Hopefully with their decision to raise money they can afford to improve this situation.
Yes, it's just a wrong intuition sold as fact. Millenials have increasingly started to buy larger cars and moved from the big cities to the sunbelt and the suburbs.

Another tip is to force yourself to read in half your normal speed. You’re not going anywhere, and reading is not a competitive sport. Personally this gives me a ethereal and meditative sensation, making literature more impactful.

Like you mentioned this is the opposite of “online reading”, where the point of reading often is to consume the content and move on.
I don't disagree, but I still have hope. Most CFS cases come on suddenly with an infection, and something breaks in the body. That situation may have been brought on by a gradual weakening of the system over time due to stress, etc., but that doesn't mean that whatever has broken can't be fixed or reset in some way.

The CDC does an enormous amount of this already.

They research problems, then research possible effects of regulation, and then they advocate for that regulation. They then measure the effects. One example is smokefree regulations[1] limiting people's exposure to tobacco.

There are many nonprofits and other governmental organizations that are also researching these things heavily and providing estimates.

Just because you haven't seen the numbers doesn't mean no one is crunching and publishing them.

This is pretty muddled thinking. He talks about categorical variables and then points out that they are not normally distributed. Which doesn’t make sense. (It almost could, but he skips an important step.)

Apart from that it's mostly handwaving and opinion with no actual data. When you don't use data it's unsurprising that your personal experience matches your hypothesis.

It's basically be because the natural tendency of government is acquire and centralize as much power as possible. Now some forms of government take longer but without constant review and concern by citizens in a democracy it will gradually move towards a despotic regime. In some countries like China it has already happened because individual freedom isn't that valuable to the general citizenry, in the USA and Europe it is moving in that direction. Citizens need to become more active and vote for parties that advocate for more freedom rather than less.
