I have two major problems with it, what it's written in and how it manages files.

It's written in PHP. I'm not complaining about the language... I started as a PHP dev and fully recognize why an establishment might use it. The issue I have is PHP is always a pain in the ass to get configured properly. Of course there's always docker implementations, but even those haven't been constructed well imo.

Secondly, the way it manages files is absolutely terrible. Now I haven't really used it in about a year so I don't remember the specifics, but I now have a folder on my NAS that is pretty much not removable due to what I believe is an abuse of ACLs. What I really need is just something with a web interface that can sync with my other devices without imposing its own file/folder structure. At least with my experience in the past, this is a pain with Nextcloud.

Sure, but even Comcast isn't as bad as Google; not as much depends on Comcast, and Google has mountains of p[eople's key life-altering data, yet it is nearly impossible to speak with a human that has any capability to effect a change.

Yeah that's why I said they're not a good long term solution. I was prescribed them (klonopin) and I took them for a month. They worked well, but I started reading benzobuddies and other sites and it scared the hell out of me so quit quickly and now rarely touch them.

1) he didn't use a password app

2) he thought google drive was a safe place for his stuff

All three things, which I would bet are fairly common assumptions (the last 2 are certainly part of Google's marketing!), turned out to bite him.

That's a single control that's located in a highly ergonomical position - you take your hand off the wheel, and the stick is just right there. Contrast to radio/AC with inadequate/zero tactile feedback. "Stop looking at the stick, it's not going anywhere" is literally one of the first things I had drilled into me when learning to drive. (The involuntary movement comes from looking away from the road: you drop out of the feedback loop for a moment.)

With aspect=1, the square is 400 pixels high and 384 pixels wide, not exactly an aspect ratio of 1:1 but quite close, 1.04:1.

The parent of my earlier comment, i.e., the one by klodolph, claims that the pixel aspect ratio would be square by default in DOSBox, so I thought I would verify it once. As per my experiments, that does not seem to be the case.

I understand your frustration, but I also think they have a point.

What you're telling us is all based on your educated guesses as to how they might have pulled this. There are things that feel a bit weird and I'm guessing you have no evidence to prove them, such as the scammer shipping the real SIM back to Atlanta in time before you realise the issue.

How did you realise the SIM card you were handed was fake? Couldn't it be that they instead duplicated your SIM whilst you weren't looking?

IMHO the police (or FBI or whatevs) in the US should conduct the investigation as that's were the fraud happened. They'll evaluate if it's worth it contacting their counterparts in the UK to move forward. However I also think it is good that you've given a heads up to the UK local authorities.

Do you remember what company was offering the local SIMs? I've seen mostly Lebara, but not in Heathrow...

The AndroidAuto / Apple carplay in newer Subarus accepts both rotary controls, and I always end up using the rotary controls as often as possible when driving. This is because the touch screen is harder to accurately press when driving, compared the rotary dials.

On that note I also want to mention that Maps on Apple carplay has a terrible UI which could potentially be dangerous. To move around the map, one has to use arrow buttons on the touch screen. We can't move the map by just dragging on the map like on a cellphone.

I believe this is an effort to avoid driver distraction. But people, including me, keep trying to move it anyway while driving since its so instinctive, and when the map fails to move it adds additional distraction by having the driver investigate.
In times like these, I am glad to live in a stone age country like German, where it is near-impossible to get a new SIM without going to the store in person and presenting a government-issued ID.
Wow! I happily eat my words. I'm wrong. This is excellent. Thank you.
fun fact about sims. they run a java operating system which can be accessed via binary SMS messages (apdu messages) - invisible to your phone, with the right sim pin, they can get filesystem access in this 'os' and steal your private keys and phone identification numbers, effectively allowing them to mitm / clone your phone and calls/sms etc.

that being said it's just plain silly how important these crummy devices are, and how little information and warnings they come with.

set a good sim pin, that will save u from this type of trouble. of course, it won't save u from physical phone / sim access.
It should be possible: at https://youtu.be/i-CODgpHuPY?t=59 you can see Randolph using a thumb-pick as well as the Gizmo, though it requires some careful positioning. (I've never used a Gizmotron myself.)
Ha! Thanks for the judgement. I'm a very good dad/husband, and I never said I did nothing. I just stated i went back to work after a few days. I was always home in the evenings, weekends, mornings.
It's good strategy, too. Now the other manufacturers are at a disadvantage because people can claim that the cars are "defective" by having touch screens.

I think a touch screen would be OK if it didn't operate while the car was in Drive, so you can set preferences, etc, with a full keyboard. But you can also do this from a companion app or website, so there's really no need to have it at all.

And I'm really glad to see HUDs come to cars. I wonder why it took so long!

Recurrent Neural Processes
In terms of GHGs, cars dwarf cruise ship traffic.

In terms of SO2 and NO2 pollutants, cars burn very clean fuel, very efficiently, with a catalytic converter to scrub their exhaust. Ships run on shitty bunker oil, which is just one step above combustible sludge on the purity scale... And aren't equipped with catalytic converters.

The thing is, even if you legislate that ships can't run on bunker oil in your territorial waters, they'll just run on it while at sea, and switch to a legislated fuel when they dock.

When I go to a new city, I follow my satnav device for the first few days, then start altering my route -- deliberately missing turns, or starting out in a different direction, to learn where it takes me as a result of those changes. I'll study the map before I depart, and plan which turns to blow, and predict what reroute I think it'll give me.

After a week or two of this assisted learning, I tend to have a pretty good base map in my head, so I start doing without. I'll leave the device face-down on the passenger seat, not giving me any hints, but still tracking my location and there for a quick peek if I get turned around. After a few days of this I can typically do away with it entirely.
If the dealer is buying at 80% and selling at 110% of some number then surely that means that number is not actually fair market value?

Not really, Facebook is lacking in originality and sees how much money can be made (Wechat is doing it).

They also see how they can harvest huge amounts of data on what people buy with a high degree of preciseness.

Those are certainly everyday concerns for people doing UI work, but I'm not sure I see how they're specific criticisms of CSS.

Global is going to mean global, regardless of whatever's managing the appearance, and the only UI systems I can imagine that wouldn't have a problem like this would be those with an entirely uncustomizable global UI presentation.

And for differing stylings inside a specific visual component -- generally, specificity is on your side here, most of the time the selectors involved in component-specific rules will naturally override global styles and you'd only fighting specificity if there's another component specific rule. If that's the case, though, what system would save you from conflicting rules applied to a specific component?
The problem lies in that Google Authenticator is tied to a device, so if you upgrade it or lose it, you’re f’d. I also doubt many use/print recovery codes, and if they do, good luck finding them 7 years later.

Overall the situation isn’t great.
Well, you could consider things like the Google Spanner database, that uses gps timing to do atomic commits across datacenters. Since this powers many of googles services (Gmail etc.), the fallout would potentially be massive on IT infrastructure.
That's not true. A lot of very simple and useful optimizations are very hard to prove correct (e.g. devirtualization) and so can't be done with AOT compilers. It doesn't matter to people using languages that require the programmer to carefully control the compiler -- like C/C++ or Rust -- but it matters a great deal to languages that offer a smaller number of more general abstractions. It is virtually impossible to compile, say, JavaScript efficiently with an AOT compiler, but when compiled with a JIT it can have excellent performance.
2FA does not fully protect you against phishing. The attacker can just passthrough all credentials including your 2FA code. It limits the attack to a time window and any further security sensitive changes that require 2FA may be protected unless the user naively re-enters their code.

Typically because there is an education and need asymmetry between the buyer and seller in a lot of these cases. If the car is maybe worth $3K cash, but a dealer can lease it to someone for $4K by requiring no money down but high interest rates on the loan/monthly payments, where does one say the "market value" is?

The dealer is getting $4K (or more in the cases where they repossess the car and re-lease it) because the buyer often has few options on how to get transportation so they're implicitly forced to take worse terms (say, they need a car immediately to get to their low-wage job otherwise they are fired and forced into worse poverty). Of course, you can still say the car doesn’t have a value until a transaction takes place.

These socio-economics dynamics mean cars have much more of a spectrum of "value" than just one-off car purchases. Framed another way with the parent comment, buyers are often under implicit economic duress, it's just not duress forced by the seller.

I'm not strictly opposed to markets like subprime auto/personal loans, as often these markets would look worse without these options. But a lot of times people see supply-and-demand situations in very limited scope and miss external factors that influence choices.
I suspect you and I are not the target demographics. My daughter was extremely chuffed that she will be able to design animojis now on her old iPhone SE.
Google Fi requires you to have access to your google account to port or sim swap your number. So if you have real 2FA you should be safer.

I just had my AT&T sim swapped two weeks ago. According to police, the sim swappers are insiders at the telcos or have compromised corporate credentials and are logging into the telco admin portal and processing the swaps themselves.

I’ve now switched to Google Fi. I’m banking on the assumption that Google doesn’t keep an admin portal open to the internet and that they don’t give sim swap/port access to employees that aren’t paid well enough to be willing to take a small bribe to swap the sims.
Codesandbox is amazing at pre configured projects for interviews.
no sim is no calls or sms. however, an inactive sim is allowed to call 611 (or provider equivalent) , 911(or local equivalent) and a few such emergency numbers generally. You do need the sim to be in working order and in the device. but it does not need to be activated.
The whole point is that you are neither reading or writing them, they are read _to_ you, and you dictate messages if you feel the need to reply while driving, but both can be done with hands on the wheel and eyes on the road. I suppose it is up for debate whether just the act of listening or speaking is distracting enough to be considered a bad thing.
Precisely. You get some authorization box and your input only goes to that box. If you authorize, it then acts like a normal keyboard.
PS/2!
That makes sense, @tomglynch, but I covered it, since it was in the keynote :)
Anyway, thanks for sharing. This is not exactly an obvious fraud.

I think one way to prevent it, aside from remembering to not let your SIM off your hands is to mark/paint your SIM and make it unique and easily recognizable.

Then you can deal with it immediatelly, even if you forget the rule to not give your SIM temporarily to others. (You'll probaly not forget, but people who may not have your experience and still want to protect themselves against this, may.) Also the attackers will not probably attempt to swap unique looking SIM in the first place.
To add to this, I can see Microsoft adopting Vulkan. I don't understand why Apple has taken this approach. Well, I understand why _Apple_ did, but I feel like most companies in their position wouldn't invent a new API.
That’s the spread and it exists in all dealer transactions. Also called “markup”.
Except it's a full-on emergency brake reaction and liable to get me rear-ended. Per the initial discussion, there are places (and this is one) where a human is still MUCH better at assessing the situation and acting appropriately.

Google Authenticator is a huge question.

While there is apparently a desktop interface, if someone gets access to my phone, they have the live access codes right there. When the SIM is stolen, can the authenticator also be accessed with the new location of that identity?

The process for moving Authenticator involves receiving a six digit Google code on your phone -- which was just effectively stolen with the SIM...

While Google may have built in protections, they are not obvious at this point to me, a casual user of Google Authenticor.

1. Each biomarker has to be validated independently. 2. There's a huge difference between something used for testing, and something used for intervention. Grey hair is a pretty OK test for aging, but clearly dying it isn't going to arrest the aging process.

Long term degenerative conditions are some of the most difficult problems for such validation, due to time, cost, and the complexity of risk in real populations.

I don't know anything about how well the current study actually links to mitochondrial biogenesis, but I know that we don't have satisfactory interventional biomarkers for a process as complex as aging. By all means continue researching this, but I think it's eminently sensible to be skeptical at this point.

Solving for x, because it actually rewires your brain to think logically vs typing a pre-built function with zero understanding. Besides, a huge part of programming is thinking about variables.
I am disputing the existence of that number. If two parties enter into an agreement to exchange X for Y, and no one has a gun to their head, then the market value of X is Y at that time for that party, and the market value of Y is X at that time for that party.
Because the barrier to entry is still quite low. While maybe not "Anyone who could spell HTML could get a job" low, as said in another comment here, it's still so low that I'd wager a decently clever person with a good 3 month bootcamp can get a _entry-level_ job.
On my Macs, when I try to connect a new Bluetooth keyboard, the system pops up a dialogue asking me to type a randomly-generated passcode before it'll accept any further data from the keyboard.

The interference need not continue today for the related memes to still be active. They've simply become zombie memes and have been actively spreading as such, perhaps being quite independent of any outside interference. Similarly, the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution has been over for decades in China itself and the Gang of Four has even lost political favor in the PRC, but the memes which have been boosted by it ("Marx, Mao, Marcuse!" and the like) are very much active in the West.
