Banks fail sometimes and there is no regulation or risk management system that can prevent it.
To increase protection for clients and economy one could by law introduce 'bank types' where, for example the type 'low risk' is only allowed to do transactions with low risk with of course lots of options to define what 'low risk' is.
Even when you're morally and legally in the right, sometimes people get harassed anyway. Lots of whistle-blowers have had their lives turned upside-down for doing the right thing.

I'm not judging her preference on having a successful career - I'm the same actually - yet I don't plan to have children because of that very reason...

I remember that Dr Gabor Maté also talks a lot about the scars and potential trauma a child can be left with when neglected. I remember presence of both parents to be of paramount importance. And that's not "only" a problem for the child but for society at large.
Apparently SpaceX has some experience facing daunting challenges.
As someone else who has built streaming things, HTTP range requests aren't enough all of the time.

Quite a number of older Android clients, like TVs, cheap phones, etc. don't have an up-to-date browser on them, and they will make the first range-request correctly (with a byte range that reflects the browser knows the full content-length, etc)...

But you'll have to build your own scheduling system to pull in further requests, which is painful, clumsy and doesn't always work.
"The good news is that humans [probably] won't go extinct from climate change. The bad news is that was the good news."
They certainly are vulnerable. The solutions for social networks are in client/behaviour analysis: Are you trying to create 10th account from the same IP? Are you creating multiple accounts with the same browser fingerprint? Have you got any personal details attached? (That's one reason they started pushing phone verification) Is the action automated? (CAPTCHA) Is your friend graph a clique of fresh accounts?

A lot of these can't be applied to SKS unfortunately.
That’s not true at all. Deep learning struggles to learn even basic robotics tasks. Convolutional networks work well for image processing specifically because the network is structured in a way that’s effective for image processing. We don’t yet know how to structure and train neural networks for more advanced reasoning, not in a way that’s data efficient anyway.

Perfect time for me to vent on the topic. My experience confirms your claim.

My wife and baby stayed 3 days at the hospital after the c-section. Charge for room and board item on the bill is $30,000 for her and $50,000 for the baby. In total $80,000 for 3 days.

And it was shared room. There was another woman with her baby with them. That single hospital room's rate is $53,000 a day.

All other charges are 10% of room and board.

Disney's still doing some incredible animatronics work-- go look for video of the Navi shaman animatronic from Navi River Journey (at Animal Kingdom in Disney World), or the Hondo Ohnaka animatronic in the preshow for Millenium Falcon: Smuggler's Run (in Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge). Both represent the cutting edge in modern animatronics work.
I wonder why perspectives like this are considered more or less acceptable, if Machiavellian, but an article on eg how to read your manager for signs of political weakness and use it for your own benefit would probably be considered extraordinarily immoral.

That technique is used for a lot of AI generated images, but Deep Dream specifically used a trained recognition network "backwards" to adjust the image.

Read the standard. There truly is no way around it if you need to perform actual "real" work with DICOM. You need to become familiar with the vocabulary. Also get a copy of [0]. Write a small C program that outputs whether a file is in DICOM format or not (don't do extensive validation, but learn enough to know what to look for). Will you be doing networking? If so, read the standard. Use Wireshark. Look up the DUL state machine and read some library's net code (e.g. pynetdicom).

> Other countries benefit from our new drugs yet won’t pay market prices for them, and it’s $2 billion to create a new drug these days, minimum.

What makes you think drug prices in other countries aren't 'market' prices? Is it because they're negotiated on a country-wide level by the governments? I.e. because the buyer is a larger entity than the seller? But when the buyer is smaller than the multinational drug company, such as an individual or a medium-sized insurance company, then the price somehow is a market price?

> What about the fact that Americans are essentially subsidizing world health care via private R&D?

This tired argument again. Given that pharmaceutical companies spend more on just marketing than they do on R&D [1], isn't it more accurate to say that the US is subsidizing drug ads? How high would drug prices have to get, and how small the R&D budget, before you'd stop claiming the US is 'subsidizing' R&D? Or would whoever pays the highest price always be hailed as subsidizing R&D, to try and guilt everyone else into paying more?

> The reason a huge majority of pharma innovation happens here is because there is an incentive for it.

Given that drugs are sold internationally, pharma could continue their extortionate pricing in the US no matter where the drugs are developed, so the cost of drugs doesn't act as an incentive for where to conduct innovation.

It’s a bit more messy than that in California even. Non competes are not forbidden, just generally unenforceable due to some other labor laws. So a lot of companies will still to this day have employees sign non-competes, and threaten them with legal action if they violate them.

They’d almost certainly lose, depending on circumstances, but the threat is enough to have a pretty strong chilling effect.
The UEFI shell itself is a lot like DOS. It relies on a FAT filesystem, and commands run under UEFI have full hardware access.
Wow I had no idea interns were being forced to sign noncompetes.

That is exceptionally unreasonable and unconscionable.
> Right now the biggest challenge is the western politicians who hate Trump so much they don't care if they help the Chinese. Anything to get him down.

Absolutely wrong. What do you think the TPP was meant to do?

The only thing Trump does is short term bluster and outbursts with no long term plan at all. Tariffs are short term plays. Long term strategic thinking requires creation of alliances and allies.

The fundamental difference always seems to be if you can persuade the world that your ideas and system is good, or you demand it by force. The latter is not a very effective long term strategy.
Extinction, no. Collapse of civilization, quite likely. A lot of people say the former and mean the latter. This isn’t really an error, as most people don’t interpret phrases like “if we survive” to mean the literal extinction of every breeding pair of humans.
You can reverse intestinal permeability though diet. However, there is no money in it and neither is it a complicated treatment. Thus, the papers about it won't get published in prestigious journals.

Recall for me a competing principle with its very own meta-relevant renaissance painting. You are not going to untangle this knot with "just raise the top marginal rate"; it does not eliminate any underlying assumptions which preempt a solution. You do not have indy's gun, and this is not a bumbling swordsman.

This is not a complete, imperfect, optimal, uncontroversial or always-trivial-to-implement list, but some common ways to increase attacker costs are to:

0. Put a CAPTCHA on expensive/abused functionality.

1. Rate-limit costly transactions to 1 per hour/day/etc (whatever's appropriate) per IPv4 address.

2. Limit total amount of data added to the db per time period per IPv4 address.

3. Iff you get a lot of abuse from VPS/cloud providers, block or even-more-severely-limit their published IPv4 ranges. Generally speaking a normal user will not write to a pubkey db from a cloud IP.

4. Iff you get a lot of IPv6 abuse, either go IPv4-only (no doubt this will make some people super-mad.. but when it's the only way to keep the service operational..). Sometimes treating every /64 as roughly equal to one IPv4 address is a sufficient defense.

5. If you don't like using IPv4 as the scarce good, then use some other primitive such as SMS verification of a phone number (that may be unacceptable for sks due to obvious privacy and highjacking concerns.. but it's basically what Signal does..)

6. Users (and environmentalists) will hate it, but if all else fails, require proof-of-work/hashcash. Periodically expire keys that didn't submit a $1-10 POW ticket each year, etc. Or an equivalent minable cryptocurrency payment.

It’s been widely used in the soft drinks and dairy sector for at least 5 years now. I was involved in a UK-based “cold pressed” juice business and we used HPP to extend shelf life of our drinks from 2-3 days to 20-25 days (depending on the ingredients). This was 2013-2015 and there were already facilities who would batch HPP products for companies like ours.
I've never watched a Kubrick film I didn't like. I don't think there's another filmmaker I could say the same about.

I even found Kubrick's college-aged first movie he made (Fear & Desire) on BitTorrent, which he later tried to buy up and destroy because he didn't like it, and even that was a nice and very watchable low-budget war story.
I've recently been doing some client-side media recording, and ... could not get chrome to record in anything BUT opus for days. Didn't want Opus because...

Trying to figure out what "Trump" wants is an exercise in futility.

The Trump administration's stated goals are to obtain concessions for some American industries. Precisely the ones that funded his rise (Coal, Steel, Agribusinesses etc.) or where most of his ardent loyalists are employed.

He’s Dutch. This statement sounds about right to me given that country’s understanding of these events, and that’s how they view them.

There are wall mounted duct-pipe and ductless air conditioners. They aren't as efficient, but they work. They are the most common A/C units I've seen here in Mexico.

So if you don't have A/C, it's certainly not because you physically can't. I personally get by with a fan.

Though I definitely have culture shock when I return to Texas and remember people will have their A/C on 24/7 at 69F.
Gnome Shell under X is totally fine with wmctrl. But not under Wayland. And I didn't know about EWMH, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Window_Manager_Hints reads:

"Extended Window Manager Hints, a.k.a. NetWM or Net WM,[1] is an X Window System standard for window managers. It defines various interactions between window managers, utilities, and applications, all part of an entire desktop environment. It builds on the functionality of the Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM)."

, well we come to the same conclusion: it's Xorg-only and won't fly under Wayland. Or am I missing something?
Yes, both are pretty toxic.

Thanks! Indeed, right now if you're opening a DICOM with Native PixelData the API gives you the raw PixelData without manipulating (normalizing) it. This is so that you can apply WindowWith and WindowCenter settings to your choosing, should you want to (and sometimes, there are multiple window withs and centers to choose from in the metadata).

I recently introduced a CommonFrame interface that wraps both Native pixel data and encapsulated pixel data that gives you a clean Go stdlib image.Image to use for post processing (no matter the underlying data). Introducing some options to this that allows setting of window width and level would also make sense!
Can you expand on this idea? This is the first time I’ve heard anyone saying that consumer-first is wrong.

Also you're leaving out that he mentions it gives people an opportunity to praise teammates, whereas in a public context it might be awkward/seen to have ulterior motives.

My mother was amazing in that no matter when I called her on the phone, it was impossible to tell if she was in an important meeting.

I'd call her after school and chat for a while, only a to find out a bit later that she was in the middle of closing a huge deal!

This made me feel like a million bucks - to know that even though she was very busy, I was still important enough to have her full attention whenever I called her.

I always "felt" like I was more important than her work.
@tptacek

I have seen various endorsements of Signal from you, Bruce Schneier, Edward Snowden and so on.

I am honestly curious about how this aligns with the fact that Signal

* has no tests [1],

* has no CI [2].

How can the security of a software like Signal be asserted so thoroughly when on the engineering side, basic best practices are not followed and there is no automation that ensures that the important code paths work as expected?

Many Signal features like voice calls, video calls, reliable message delivery, or running-wihtout-crash, break regularly in daily use and with new updates. They have bugs.

What gives us (or you) confidence that the safety-critical aspects of Signal are magically exempt from such frequent bugs?

This is a serious question that concerns me.

Thanks!

Can confirm, I've reported a similar attack [1], along with a few other vulnerabilities, and also published exploit tools. I ended up getting legal threats from two people that I see frequently posting to sks-devel@ mailing list.

Additionally, Robert (GnuPG maintainer who wrote this Gist) has attacked [2] another person who wrote a proof-of-concept filesystem on top of SKS that was intended to highlight how broken the design is.

I have not seen a single open source community that would treat full disclosure with such contempt.

At this point SKS network continues to run exclusively on community goodwill. This attack seems to be specifically targeted on GnuPG maintainers, if attacker were to deliberately try to break SKS, they would target someone like Linus Torvalds.

Alternatively, there are other published vulnerabilities with exploits that allow to take the whole SKS network down within half an hour, which were published more than a year ago. And yet, those have not been used, so far.

Considering that the yield strength of a lot of steels is at or below 600 MPa I wonder what these machines are made out of. If you wanted to make one yourself a 50 ton hydraulic press would generate the pressure needed but the seals that you would need for this are crazy to be food safe.

Home canning would do almost the same effect for much cheaper.

I’ve often thought there should be a ratio between transaction value, and the maximum complexity of the contracts involved.

Say 1% is the ceiling. The minimum take home salary of the internship would then be at least 1/0.01=100x the price it would take a lawyer to review and negotiate the employment contract.

Say it takes a lawyer a conservative 5 hours, at a Bay Area lowball of $250/hour. The internship must therefore pay at minimum $125,000 after tax, or terms benefiting the employer (and only those)

For DIY, micvac.com is safe and may fit to the meal-prep community very well.

The basic idea is a single-use valve based plastic package that lets you cook the food in a microwave in a closed container with an open valve(for steam release), but once it starts cooling, the valve closes,all bacteria are dead, the steam inside the package than condenses , creating low-pressure inside the package, similar to vacuum packing.

They describe the tech in their site, and in their patents.

Diy for it seems tough, you have engineer the right valve and package to ensure that every food, in every microwave , will get sterilized by the heat.
