I was visiting my neighbor the other day. We were wondering something about special counsel mueller, and she decided to ask Alexa. This was new, and I was surprised she had this surveillance device, but I didn't say anything.

There was some back and forth, then I said to her "I think you're ordering motor oil "

"Alexa, stop! Alexa, stop!" As if a dog was chewing on the furniture.

Hey, you're the who's pathetically attempting to white-wash Eric Raymond's long well documented track record of racism by making the ludicrous claim that he has "empathy towards the black community".

"The average IQ of the Haitian population is 67... Haiti is, quite literally, a country full of violent idiots." -Eric S Raymond

"... The minimum level of training required to make someone effective as a self defense shooter is not very high... unfortunately, this doesn't cover the BLM crowd, which would have an average IQ of 85 if it's statistically representative of American blacks as a whole. I've never tried to train anyone that dim and wouldn't want to." -Eric S Raymond

Empathy, riiiiight. How about "contempt".
I don't know the user interface, but some four years ago, when I worked on one of the most important databases in ads, we've had a bunch of business requests preempted by preparing for compliance with the upcoming EU privacy law (we didn't even know its name back then, only that we'll need a way to erase all data about a user on a short notice). I would be rather surprised if all that investment was wasted.
Austria. In Germany it is the same ir worse. They introduced a deposit fee on plastic bottles a few years ago because the percentage of glas bottles sold was too low. So all super markets started to create their own proprietary bottles (only to be returned to the originator; not any shop as a glas bottle) and now even more plastic bottles are sold and not returned. Markets like REWE or ALDI make some extra money.

Most people don't, but a lot of people make multiple shorter flights each year. Not to mention that it's far less effort to change a single action than a lifestyle.
Hollywood is dying because most of their movies are garage. There have been very few good movies made lately or perhaps I'm just getting old. I use to go to the movies once or twice a month a long time ago, now I can go a whole year without going. Besides the quality going down, it costs too much too.

The remake fatigue is also real. Very few original content. It's either a remake of something from the past, another country or a sequel.

There are an increasing number of things that were so person-hour intensive before that they were legal but not practical, with the understanding the police would only do them if they had a good reason, like following a suspect as they went about their day. Now with the ability to do it so cheaply I think we have to acknowledge that in these cases a difference in degree has essentially become a difference in kind and we need to go back from square one and evaluate how we use these tools.
The difference is that crypto is somewhat pseudonymous. This scheme forces me to connect to this system constantly or lose my "account". I can never go cold storage. I have to put out a homing beacon at a high frequency which creates a new attack vector.

As a parent in this exact situation, my reason is not primarily climate change (although it's high up on the list); it's about fostering independence and confidence.

Whether these threats are realistic depends on how good Google's internal controls are. It's likely that there are Internet companies where internal controls are very weak (random Internet of things companies) and others where they are stronger. Stalking cases have happened, so you can say it's "possible," but to assess risk we need to do better than making a binary distinction between possible versus impossible.

In the case of the contractor described in this article, it sounds like they are pretty well isolated, so I don't see these scenarios happening: On the one hand, the audio snippets are more personal, being recorded in the home. On the other hand, having any idea who they're listening to will be rare, the snippets are short, and they are unlikely to hear the same person twice. I don't see them getting enough data to do damage.

You might compare with a store employee or waitress hearing a bit of conversation, or someone eavesdropping on your conversation or screen on a bus or plane. While people should be on guard, often they're not, and an eavesdropper can find out a lot more of any one person's data.

Other Google employees might have different access (for example tech support), but they'd be foolish to basically give employees remote root on Google Home devices, and I don't think Google security is that foolish.

When I was a kid in the mid 70s movies cost $3.00 in the Midwest. Westegg says that inflation is up 10x since then. Any movie less than $20 is actually a bargain. However, my dad's salary was 7,000x a movie ticket (Midwest CS professor before salaries exploded).
Large amounts of "hoarded" money causes a deflation, already a structural issue with a system like bitcoin, and can compound itself by reducing liquidity.

In fact that was the bigger, more dangerous consequence of the 2008 financial crisis. So when I saw opposition to the bailouts I was annoyed: not because those opponents' arguments were necessarily wrong (some were, some weren't) but because mostly even the people whose theory was correct were working about the wrong problem.
> 40 hours is nothing for a single person with few responsibilities.

Wrong. I'm single with few responsibilities and 40 hours is still way too much. Just because you like to be a workaholic doesn't mean you can generalize that to apply to everyone else.
I'm not following you but maybe I wasn't clear. Yes, producers and distributors are separate, but distributor's main clients are the few large producers. Small guys have trouble getting distribution either because it's not worth the time of the distributors or the large producers strong-arm the distributors. If producers could distribute, they'd just drop their product off at the bar/store themselves.
Indeed, but it’s not hard to imagine that a service would exist to temporarily lend you that money for a percentage of the wallet value. And assuming the company is credible, you’d probably be happy to get 90% of that BTC back rather than nothing.

Regarding adverse possession, do you know what the justification is for such a heavy-handed approach?

The theory I see mentioned there is:

> Because of the doctrine of adverse possession, a landowner can be secure in title to his land. Otherwise, long-lost heirs of any former owner, possessor or lien holder of centuries past could come forward with a legal claim on the property.

But I don't see why they wouldn't exclude the actual owner from this and limit it to just former owners/heirs/etc... and frankly it seems even those should only have to go through this process once before they're recognized as the current owners and not have to put up with this possibility again.
I dunno if I agree with you assessment, if you buy a device that purposefully made to record your voice and send it to a company, I wouldn't find it unreasonable that the company could listen to what I sent to them. It's not like they are being sneaky about when it is recording or where the recordings are going.
I would hesitate to lock up my bike on a mobile object that could disappear without warning. It would need a ton of messaging, failsafes, and perhaps other things before I'd trust it.

The Newest Variant of the Astaroth Trojan Evades Detection in the Sneakiest Way
This process is typically referred to in the scientific literature as "enhanced" weathering but we think that "accelerated" weathering is easier for lay people to understand.

Drawdown is mostly focused on things we can change in our current activity to lower emissions and less about methods for Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR). Their top solution for becoming carbon neutral is "Refrigerant Management"...

I like the concept of the project and know some people working in the org, but in my opinion, they do not give enhanced/accelerated weathering enough credit as a potential solution, even though it can scale all the way up to global CO2 level emission removal. Many of the other solutions they suggest are limited in potential, yet featured prominently... I am working to communicate this to them.

Where does one buy one ton of olivine in the US?
To be clear, I'm not talking about people "goofing off at work" (such as myself on HN right now). Socialization is something deeply internalized so it doesn't matter if you know people are watching. I've been those people working on things late a night without anyone knowing, then I realized so much of it was sweat and stress for literally nothing.

The thing is, when you look at the fruits of the labor put in, the result is nearly null. There are people who are working very hard on things that have no real long term (or short term) purpose or function for their employers, it's work that exists because "work" has to be done. When I look at the projects being busily worked on around me, nearly none of them have any value or will make a dent in the overall productivity of the larger company. These people aren't goofing off. This is the ritual of work.

People pray in the privacy of their own home but that doesn't mean there's a god listening. The same goes for the culture of "work" in most large organizations.
That's certainly true, you are making the leap of faith that your customers are running standard compliant browsers, which, all considered, is true. All the techniques you mention require you to break either the customers or some element along the network chain to the server, and once you do, well, CORS is the least of your problems.

Love the teflon analogy; can totally relate. At this point our team his literally anthropomorphized CORS into some sort of a malevolent entity actively trying to ruin our lives.

But stick with it. It does slowly sink in.

Something that especially confused me at first was that all of the CORS blocking happens in the browser. So you never run into CORS using curl, etc.

Would you mind putting in concrete examples the sentence "most Americans do not live in areas where you could reasonably live without a car". It's not a critique, I'm not american so I don't understand how could this be, given the level of development of the country and the proliferation of cities that you are supposed to have.
Precisely. Focusing on APM is kind of a red herring anyways because during previous matches there were only a few milliseconds that it spiked above human levels, and it was usually when moving workers: https://deepmind.com/blog/alphastar-mastering-real-time-stra...

Even so, this latest version has max APM limits instated to appease pro-players. Since Alphastar is forced to perceive the state of the game through machine vision of the screen, it's reaction time is already on par with humans anyways (~350 ms for Alphastar vs. ~250 ms for humans).
12mi each way is a fantastic and doable commute if you're in good shape, but if you aren't and want to still reap the benefits, an eBike is fantastic.
Maybe, but the CORS spec says otherwise.

> cpu winning on APM and TTFA has been solved for long ago

Has it? I'm not a RTS player but I thought that simple bots couldn't compete with top StarCraft players just with speed. It required strategy plus speed to first become competitve (though less strategy than required with slow APM and TTFA).
The world could agree on Carbon Tax, and all the Tax will all be used for battling Climate Change. Funding Project like this one. ( Although. doubt this Project isn't without its downside, my guts reaction tells me there will be other problems in chemical reaction at this scale )

And it should be something like the EURO Cars emission standards, where the whole plan goes in multiple stages, giving time for businesses to adopt.

And all of a sudden all the business have an incentive to lower the Total Carbon emission, that includes everything they consume ( which would have Carbon Tax on it ). They could also buy Carbon Credit to offset any Carbon they produce. These Carbon Credit will obviously come from project like this or Renewable Energy.

Having the World to agree on Carton Tax is the hardest part.
> This is why I specified correctly designed

Even the NACTO (National Association of City Transportation Officials) design guide states:

>> Driveways and minor street crossings are a unique challenge to cycle track design. A review of crossing facilities and design practice has shown that the following guidance may improve safety at crossings of driveways and minor intersections:

>>

>> * If the cycle track is parking protected, parking should be prohibited near the intersection to improve visibility. The desirable no parking area is 30 feet from each side of the crossing.
>>

>> * For motor vehicles attempting to cross the cycle track from the side street or driveway, street and sidewalk furnishings and/or other features should accommodate a sight triangle of 20 feet to the cycle track from the minor street crossings and 10 feet from driveway crossing.

The distances quoted should make it evident that, at least in the US, even the guidelines aren't going to lead to "correctly designed" intersections.
Your naïve act is wearing thin.

Impact of the GDPR After 1 Year
Call it a bug in the spec if you want, but regardless the spec provides no guidance about whether reflecting the Origin is a good workaround.
Sounds like they're addressing this concern:

Oh I don’t really care about the ethics of any of this I was just pointing out that you seemed to be misunderstanding which aspect the parent was calling shady. It’s not that the affiliate links were poorly labeled, it’s that they were for profiting from the (in the context of the comment) questionably sourced material
| Also, the author makes a good point that `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` is pretty dangerous.

But what is the alternative when you have a script that is going to be deployed on multiple sites that you do not control? Which origin do you specify? This is the scenario which always trips me up and results in kludgy workarounds.
I think that's a great idea. Not surprising, but our highest volume tends to be at locations in or directly around large corporate offices. That and hospitals.

We'll definitely look into this, I appreciate the suggestion!
Thanks for this; it helped me.

Very naively, I don't understand why evil.com origin was allowed to make any request to other domains using any cookies/session/identity of the browser/user in the first place.

Why was this accepted standard? I was blown away when I first learned that a request made to xyz.com while in a browser tab showing abc.com would actually complete the request using my identity on xyz.com.
Yes so the users will be users of ours. The users won't have their own users per se, but will be able to customize the app. So if I understand correctly, I can turn off CORS, have each user that wants their own backend URL to enter this URL in our system, we whitelist this URL and check for it when a request is made?
Fair point, I suppose I didn't read as carefully as I should've. Thanks!

>But Hollywood have always done this - recycling old ideas in new wrapping.

Yes, but I think it's safe to say that there were a lot more original movies a few decades ago than there are now. Hollywood used to take more risks.

>According to Wikipedia, Aladdin grossed "$923.7 million, against a production budget of $183 million". So despite you and your nephew, Disney seem to manage OK.

Exactly. People are bemoaning the current state of Hollywood, but it's extremely profitable, and that's all that really matters to them. There's no shortage of paying customers willing to see the latest sequel/prequel/remake/reboot. Sure, they might lose a few ticket sales from people like me and this OP and his nephew, but it's more than made up for by countless others who just don't care and want entertainment. And yes, they might make more profit on a really great original movie (like the original Star Wars in 1977), but that's also a big risk and it might flop and be a giant loss, so they tend to shy away from such things now and make safer movies that have an almost guaranteed profit, even if it isn't as much.

This only holds for indempotent requests (so in practice GET). Non-indempotent requests are "preflighted" and don't happen at all when the policy does not allow them.

So in fact CORS without any server-side configuration allows one to do arbitrary GET requests with cookies and authentication through XHR, but you could always just dynamically create IMG (as in the Zoom kludge) or SCRIPT (and the response will be executed in the page context, which is huge security risk as well as how JSON-P works) tag.

In other words: if your application does something security-sensitive (ie. write to anything other than log file) as part of GET request apart from producing the response, then your application is broken and same-origin policy nor CORS has nothing to do with that.
