Why tattooed on your forehead?

My turn for blockchain confusion: wouldn't that make it impossible for you to remove your data from the network? Although I suppose it'd all be hashed for the blocks. And then you'd overwrite it with nothingness. And the nothingness would be hashed. Then okay. But. Is the integrity provided by blockchain worth the overhead of the blockchain (which gets bigger and bigger and bigger)?

Looking at what seems like the other extreme, my favorite model of social media has been 4chan. So simple. So pure. So free. From a privacy standpoint, it's vastly superior to Facebook or Twitter. No accounts. (Well, traditionally.) Everyone automatically anonymous. You're your ideas in the moment, not an accountable, traceable, and politicized entity. You aggregate around common interests and talk. No karma-farming. No idea-shaming downvoting; the only thing that can diminish what someone said is someone else saying something in return or a mod banning. And, to minimize overhead and increase privacy further (although archiving bots diminish this), all threads are temporary. Everything I love about it stems from these features (it sure isn't most of the people on it), and everything I dislike about other social media sites stems from their features contrary to those.

You did not refute any of my points. Do you really think lowering the barrier of entry for poor people then giving them on the job training will bring them to the level of people that are already high performing? Companies do not have the resources to make that happen as it would require decades of training, education, therapy, life adjustments... just to get to the same level as some people have coming through the door (including some poor people who were self driven).
That they use it in other applications doesn't make it automatically the best idea. SD cards are fairly unreliable compared to the other options, and as Rich's friend points out, smartphone manufacturers use eMMC and don't have issues because they understand wear cycles.

How is this worse, privacy-wise, than taking naked images of you with mm-waves when you try and get on a plane? Its just improving the efficiency of the existing system. If we're going to have border controls, why not make them work as well as we can?
Intel certainly does not know how to build a secure CPU.
I'm not saying no biased algorithms exist. I'm just saying, we shouldn't throw away what initially appears to be discriminatory bias, we should instead ask, "what caused this?" And that goes no matter what color of skin is represented on the dev team.
One thing no one else is mentioned is that what is useful or relevant to the business is very ill defined. All future companies for the entirety of your career will take on some unknown risk related to what your previous employers considers relevant.

Companies hate ill defined risk. I run a consulting company and would never hire anyone who had ever signed a contract like this. It's too risky, if you did work for a client and some company I'd never heard of could possibly own that IP that could be company ending for me. If a client even just found out I hired someone who had signed a contract like that it could end a client relationship.

Do not sign this. This could be career crippling.
I agree. I was in a dollar general recently in a different city (just killing time) and i think they are actually more appealing to shop than a walmart. (I shop in neither usually).

DG gives an impression of small, local run (which I know they are not) shop with pretty decent service, and walmart doesn't feel like that.
Not who you asked, but there are lots of companies.

I found my current role through a SO job posting. It was actually pretty quick.
6 years ago (pretty early in my career) I was working for a small consulting company in San Fransisco and negotiated a 4 day workweek for a paycut (as well as going remote). The schedule was awesome, but I did see one big downside - you inherently start falling behind the full time employees. Everyone else is working full time, so they tend to accomplish more than you. Also, you end up missing out on important meetings that will inevitably happen on your day off. Over time, when important projects came up, they would not be given to me since I would deliver them slower and also sometimes didn't have background on them since I missed meetings where they were discussed. Eventually I quit out of boredom and career stagnation.

I am curious if you experienced any of these things, how you handled them, or how you managed to avoid them.

Now, I find that the model that works better for me is to work full time, but take big (many month) breaks between projects. I would still love to work 4 days a week though, just didn't work out for me in practice.

This is so true, but why is it politically unpopular? Who would want to defend petty crime instead of condemning it? SF sometimes really makes no sense.
this is pretty much my position. I've been working from home, for 8 or 9 years. The commute is around 2 hours each way. So saving 4 hours + other random delays is heaven. I've been offered work on twice my salary but all include travel. No chance i'll take them. Quality of life > Extra monies
This story is so common it has a name: the paradox of subsidies.
I'm not a security person but I wanna practice trying to sum up his points:

1. There's no way in hell that a bunch of VMs running on one physical server is more secure than a bunch of different physical servers each running an OS. If there were architectural hooks for those VMs to provide additional security beyond what the host OS provides, then an OS like OpenBSD would already be making use of it.

2. Running a bunch of VMs on a single physical machine is certainly cheaper.

3. People who are in favor of the cost-cutting are claiming that there's a security benefit to sell more stuff.

Am I right?

If so, how does that stance jibe with the research that Qubes is based on?

Just reading the comments here, people seem to be relishing the thought of having an utterly ad-free world. As some have pointed out however, advertising can serve a useful purpose (see: signalling, market-for-lemons etc.).

From my perspective there are a number of issues with advertising which should be looked at - such as advertising to children, advertising of products with large negative externalities (e.g. cigarettes), and heavily targetted advertising (more because of the dystopian visions it brings, and with the potential complete erosion of privacy caused by the data-collection which it necessitates). But I believe a blanket "all adverts are bad" is probably a bit much. That said, giving users an alternative to receiving adverts seems like a great alternative to the pervasive data-capturing we have going on today.
According to [1], Tesla will not replace the minimum removable unit, but only the entire assembly, at a cost of around $2.7k. And, as with other parts replacement issues at Tesla, it is apparently not a quick turnaround.

The article is wrong to say these cars are bricked, but it is not a small issue, either.

Huawei willing to sign 'no-spy' pacts with governments: chairman
For me, it came up in a course I took last term which used the textbook "Video Processing and Communications" by Y. Wang, J.Ostermann and Y-Q. Zhang.

It's a bit out of date (2002), but the core video encoder material was solid. It's a bit heavy in representing concepts using symbolic/equation notation. That, for me, made the jump from 1D signal processing to multidimensional signal processing tougher than it needed to be.

There are probably better resources so definitely don't just take my word for it! :)

(For scabilility, IIRC the terms "enhancement layer" and "base layer" are particularly important, as are the block diagrams that generate them.)
What people do when they loose motivation to spend more time on OSS?
I've been working on an OSS of mine which is getting much love and good response. I really want to make it a very good software. But I'm losing motivation for spending more time working on it since money is a big factor and I don't have a job or good income source yet unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong. I work on OSS like everybody else to make it better for everyone. But I think having a job or source of income makes a person feel more secure while contributing more time to OSS.

So how do people overcome such situation? I'm sorry if this question seems nonsense. Thanks.

It's still on Facebook - any privacy concerns being assuaged by throwing it in the safe would be useless.

That really depends on your goal with your social media account - if you have no desire to be identifiable or make connections, that works, but if you're trying to build a social circle that doesn't work at all. Really, it's all about goals, and why you're online.

Yet those things are crucial to the fundamental operation of the vehicle. We're talking about logs no user cares about here. It's just sloppy and a silly failure mode.
Same thing with mine. Not being able to choose an episode or show, and being stuck with whatever the channel wanted to provide, was a foreign concept.

May I suggest Kanopy, an excellent selection of streaming media free with a library card in the US?

Also, what about separating the delivery network providers from the content providers? Net neutrality would balance a lot of issues and reinvigorate competition and market forces.

In the context of constant growth encoded in the corporate DNA, corporate leadership has no other choice but make existing services more expensive and lobby to monetize things that were free (copyright extension).

The only reasonable way to fight against this is to write laws protecting society from this continuous encroachment.
NewPipe is awesome as well (and you can download) and since it pretends to be a browser its got some neat features, it's in the FDroid store.
Indications to shareholders are that Disney expects to make Hulu an international brand.

Also, Disney seems to have renewed Hulu's exclusive contracts for Cloak & Dagger and The Runaways, so it sounds like Disney is very prepared to take a "split" approach to Marvel with Hulu being home to an interesting subset of Marvel properties. It does sound like R-rated films like Deadpool will be on Hulu rather than Disney+, at least based on conjecture so far.

(I also wouldn't be surprised if all of the Fox X-Men stuff ended up at Hulu rather than Disney+, rather than confuse young fans of the current MCU. It may be Disney makes the dividing line be the "Marvel Studios" brand, of which the Fox films were not. But of course that remains to be seen.)

This clause is abusive unless they're writing you a seven figure check. And companied that are abusive in some ways tend to be abusive in other ways.

If you have any other option I would take the other option. If you have no other options I would redline it and send it back. But whatever you do do not sign that clause.
Recently we stayed at a vacation home that had cable. My 5 year old asked me why Paw Patrol kept turning off and then back on. I had no idea what she was talking about until I went and watched it with her and realized that she had no idea what commercials are. Though, we don't have Netflix (or any other streaming service), she just watched DVDs from the library to get her Paw Patrol fix.
You beat me to it. A lot of the comments here underscore how much better it is (which I don't doubt) without seeming to acknowledge that ads are very likely to come -- in fact, didn't they test already last year? Yeah, https://thenextweb.com/contributors/2018/10/20/netflix-tests...
But if there are enough data points and they show roundup doesn't cause cancer above the population baseline, if someone who used roundup gets cancer we should in turn conclude roundup wasn't the cause.
Is it really so outlandish to suggest that populations have diverged cognitively after tens-hundreds of thousands of years of separation? Or are you really that determined to pretend that all population differences just stop at the shoulders?

The consistently different outward expression of genetic variation among populations is obvious - skin color, height, weight, fat proportion, hair type, eye color, predisposition to disease - everything is influenced by our genes. But you don't think you're performing Olympic level mental gymnastics in pretending that a structure as complex as the brain isn't deeply influenced by heritable genes?

You cannot judge plausibility by convenience. Nature is cruel, and your outrage is inappropriate.
How to Produce the Best Public Documentation
Given how educational TV can be in teaching language skills, interpersonal skills, and basic facts, I don't think this is necessarily too much at all, if it's 2-3 hrs/day.

When I was a young child before I could read books, I learned tons about the world from watching Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, and similar high-quality shows. I still spent plenty of time with my Legos, but my childhood would definitely have been worse without the programming on PBS.
One little happy loophole this creates, however, is if you set your browser agent to be the GoogleBot's ID, it will immediately bypass most paywalls because it thinks its letting the crawler in.
while every word you wrote is probably right, the point here is spotlighting of the latest (or not so, it's been going for while) trend that how big corporations try to take as much control as they can, only for the solely purpose of extorting as much money as they can.

It would have, but it's likely the cloud vendors have already deployed defenses.
That depends on what you mean by "break into". If you mean sample data (read) from the control plane or other VMs, then yes; however, the attacker may have difficulty targeting which data is read. The attacker would not be able to write to that memory or gain any sort of execution privilege using this method alone.
from https://www.engadget.com/2019/05/02/super-micro-move-chip-pr...

> Server maker Super Micro is moving production out of China in a bid to allay US customer's concerns about spying, even though independent tests have shown no evidence of cyber espionage. The company has also announced its plans to expand its own in-house manufacturing facilities to help mitigate any perceived risks. A spokesperson for the company said Super Micro wants to be more self-reliant "without depending only on those outsourcing partners whose production previously has mostly been in China."
The article has a line about how local art got a boost. Did many artists never get a chance just because our collective minds were preoccupied with product advertising? Is the presence of advertising an important distinguishing factor when we compare the current age to the Renaissance period?

This affects pre-facelift MCU1 car, which is before about April 2016. So I suppose a solution now is to upgrade the MCU to MCU2. Elon says that will be possible.

Anti-theft is not crucial to the operation of the vehicle, and that had certainly immobilized plenty of vehicles, sometimes in expensive to fix manors.

Now if the article was that Tesla Model S has a chip which wears out and the board holding the chip is expensive to replace, and maybe even getting into why don’t they push a software update to lower the writes to that chip — I would not disagree.

The article falsely claimed the cars are “bricked”. As it’s the main thrust of the article, it should be retracted.

> However, until the company starts stocking parts like the eMMC chip, as well as release detailed service manuals to the public, Tesla is going to be looking at a number of newish cars dead in a junkyard real soon.

They should stock a chip which is soldered to the board, and what, do reworks? That’s asinine.

Newish cars dead in a junkyard? Totally false. It’s an expensive repair for a problem that could have been avoided, and hopefully Tesla will remedy with a firmware update.
If you think we are going to bring world emissions to zero in 5 years you are hopelessly idealistic.
That’s a scenario they created. There’s no reason the man in the van can’t hang up a WISP device or whatever. I used to run a field tech services org — it’s not that expensive to train new tasks, the hardest thing is hiring reliable people. Your old school HP and IBM CEs would service everything for 95% of service calls.

They are busting the CWA, period.

The same thing happened with National Grid in upstate NY. They’ll use 5 subcontractors and 10 guys to do a job that was handled by a 2-3 man crew 20 years ago. The hilarious thing is that that union didn’t have the stupid separation of duty stuff the contractors do. I saw one instance where they had a subcontractor on site specifically to spray bee spray.
The value of money is not artificial, it's valued through a measurement of it's availability vis-a-vis other resources and opportunities.

Surely countries can invest more if those projects are 'more value creating than other investments' and if it's rational, but the notion that countries shouldn't be afraid of debt either is pragmatically no helpful.

All of us are just a few irresponsible financial decisions away from being Greece, Venezuela, Weimar etc.. Stable fiat currencies are a precarious thing, which why we are so cold and 'small c' conservative about it.

As for Germany's problems, it has to do with how we measure value, institutional legacy, and obviously unwillingness to consider Nuclear.

Merkel was never really a pragmatist in the sense we would understand it - she was a political pragmatist, meaning really just 'populist' but more of the centrist type: I believe her Nuclear decision was mostly political.
> How is this worse, privacy-wise, than taking naked images of you with mm-waves when you try and get on a plane?

We don't have mm-wave scanners scattered across the country. We do, however, have cameras. Everywhere. CBP is under the Department of Homeland Security [1]. It's not a stretch to take the models, hardware, experience and scans CBP builds and use them in the interior.

I second this... a lot of times, broken make files are standing between you and victory, so it would be good to at least have some familiarity with them.
It have always been known how to exploit them. But doing so used to be slower and there have been fewer opportunities for attacks. OS kernels used to have Big Locks (AFAIK, OpenBSD still does), that significantly deterred programs from messing with kernel code and CPU caches.

Things have changed a lot since then: OS kernels became faster by eliminating a lot of unnecessary (?) cross-process overhead; browser makers made a number of potentially problematic decisions ("let's allow Javascript to create CPU threads — what could possibly go wrong?"); Linux kernel developers made few potentially problematic decisions ("let's allow unprivileged processes to invoke arbitrary BPF bytecode — that worked for Java, so what could possibly go wrong?")

A lot of small security lapses added up until it became viable to use CPU flaws to actually target ordinary users. To add insult to injury, certain corporations started spreading myth, that well-known insecure practices — such as knowingly running local software from questionable authors — are "safe enough" for general population. Topic web page even talks about running untrusted Android software, as if Android had some kind of impenetrable security boundary around untrusted apps.
I would imagine so. Disney's biggest deals seem to have been with Hulu, so owning that outright gives it a lot of power to change deals, and with Netflix, which presumably part of the timing that Disney+ won't roll out until Fall is that coincides I believe with the expiration of the biggest of Disney's streaming licenses to Netflix (the one for access to films). (The Defenders MCU shows exclusive contract to Netflix I think will still take a few more years to expire before Disney can bring them "home".)
"saves".
I keep as much logic out of the database as possible besides PKs/FKs etc.

I keep all of my logic in the application and only one “service” can write to related tables.

I also think that you should always write software as domain specific “microservices”. Not necessarily out of process, separately released microservices, but the Domain Driven Design concept of “services” that can just as easily be part of a monolithic project with different modules or if necessary shared between teams via versioned modules.

It is so much easier to deploy, rollback, and version code than databases.
That's addressed in the article:

Could the plays’ many connections to Bassano be explained by simply

People desperate to break into your house because of socio-economic issues won't care about the cameras. It has also been shown that masks and other prosthetics can be added to your face to prevent detection (something a robber would probably be willing to do). In the end, you give up freedom for perceived security and lose privacy in the bargain.
