I'd be hesitant on that one, or any prediction software, without the backing of the price guarantee like Google has. Otherwise you're really just gambling.

I used to use whatever flight prediction software Bing bought out when I traveled for work. It was pretty accurate most of the time, and I got used to trusting it, but I definitely got burned really badly a few times by continuing to wait as the price sky rocketed under the algorithms assurance that it would drop again before I needed to pull the trigger.
One aspect of this not touched is that that YT’s primary response is demonetizing videos or channels- but most get their money from brand deals outside of that.

So my family actually knew the sheriff from the next county over. He picked up McElroy a couple times for various things. (I think being drunk etc.). Now when this was explained, this was 26-27 years ago, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but he explained that the man was a monster of an individual. (like huge.) The guy could pick up a hog from the other side of the fence and just walk off with it. Dead lifting a few hundred pounds, that's hard, and really scary to think someone can do that who doesn't like you. You don't cross an individual like that lightly.

You have to remember this was 35+ years ago when this all happened. Things aren't what they used to be now. People didn't make long distance calls back then, because it was too expensive. You lived out it in the middle of nowhere especially back then, you're on your own. No one is coming to help you if you're in serious trouble. My parents had this joke. They said the fire department had a perfect record around where we were. They hadn't saved a house yet. Don't get me wrong, they really respected the firemen. The point was that when you live 20+ miles away from the fire station, there is no possible way they are going to save the house in time. There was no GPS, and 911 had only been invented a little over a decade before. A lot of people didn't even own phones.

It's easy to talk about the rule of law, and how they should let the justice system work it out, but it's a different kind of law in those parts. In a town that size, everyone knows everyone, and you're always talking to someone's brother, cousin, sister, etc. Oh you filed a report against someone?...yeah word gets around. The kind you don't want. Evidence gets "lost", etc. A lot of times it was (and still is in certain places) easier to just keep your mouth shut and move on. I'm not saying I agree with what they did, and I wasn't in their position, so I don't know what I'd do. I can sure see why they thought that was the only recourse they had though.

> You can get the key embedded on a smartcard, but it's still coupled to their proprietary driver (which only works on Windows or macOS, of course).

Maybe it is different where you live but the standalone hardware key I mention is standalone: You open the website, enter your national id, find your token generator, enter pin code for hardware token, read your token, type it into the bank web site, and enter your password ib a different field.

Nothing of this is linked to Windows or Mac, only to a reasonably modern browser.

And the thing you describe seems to be very very different and I'm confident there's only one BankID product in the Nordic countries, so either it is implemented in a very different way with your bank or we aren't talking about the same thing.

> It's also a separate API and not as widely supported as Mobile BankID.

Around here hardware tokens were supported before mobile BankID was even a thing. They are still available everywhere I log in.

As for why I care, I find that BankID is a good idea, reasonably implemented, so I don't think it is OK to trash it - unless I'm misunderstanding something, in which case I want to learn.
What a strange town. It appears to have been built mimicking architectural styles from the 19th century, complete with bricked-up windows, mansard roofs, and use of old-fashioned materials and techniques. I do like the human-sized proportions (houses are generally 4 stories or less) and the use of softer-looking materials like brick and stone and rendered walls, but from the photos the town also seems subtly artificial, like a Disneyland version of England. You'd think there could be a middle ground here that didn't skip modernism entirely.
Yeah, there is some weird subtext to the argument, that for some reason account access shouldn't count as secure verification?

It's not in dispute that account access using known good credentials would be reasonable verification. But people forget passwords or mistype email addresses or lose access to email accounts, and they still have legal rights as data subjects under the GDPR.

So, it also matters whether other forms of identification are acceptable. If you have some reasonable means of confirming someone's identity in response to a request under GDPR and you try to avoid using it because the person didn't follow your preferred method based on standard account credentials, it's not clear that regulators would accept that as reasonable. And any time the words "not clear" appear, they come with an implicit threat of severe penalties in GDPR world.
Rule of law is not only about the practice of resolving disputes, though that's important, it's also about the belief that the process is what is used to handle criminals like McElroy. If that belief is shaken, it's much more damaging than if the system itself is a bit inefficient or corrupt but people still believe in it.
I'd expect most of the costs scales linearly with the number of panels: land, installation, maintenance, interconnect, so this should translate pretty directly to cost savings.
Yeah, your point about the production costs is correct and seems easily generalizable. I don't think I can generalize the grocers the same way. This is an anecdote from 6 years ago, so take it that way, but in my area the average margin over all the stores and all of their items was just under 2%. Iirc, most grocers were taking losses on certain staples while maintaining a +50% markup on food marketable as healthy. I don't mean organic, just things perceived to be healthy. Some discount grocers and farmers' markets have opened business since then, so it may not be the same anymore.
I use the exact same setup and like it a lot.
The thing that makes this different is that the US government has kept better track of its citizens since about 1955. Despite our fear of the Mark of The Beast, we track (effectively) everybody via Social Security Number. I don't think this was true until on into the 1970s.

I'm sure that this kind of thing went on all the time in the US, in smaller towns and rural areas. People disappeared all the time. Probably most of them moved to the big city or California, but a bunch probably ended up in unmarked graves. A friend of mine had a grandmother who lived in Milwaukee. She was Jewish. She fell in love with the Polish butcher. They disappeared from Milwaukee. A couple of months later, they were in Denver, married, and she was now Catholic. The special thing about my friend's grandmother, is that he knows the story. The bitter thing about that story is that it can't happen today, because we all are tracked. There are good reasons, but that doesn't mean that giving up segmentation of risks is all that great.
The problem is that it isn't a track record.

What's funny about it is, if you're going to make up a benchmark (and theirs is contrived; it was "no remote vulnerabilities", as I recall, when I was involved with the project, then "no remote vulnerabilities in the default install", then "only one remote vulnerability in the default install"), make up one where your number is zero, not "just 2 in a heck of a long time".

But more substantively: the reason you run an operating system is to do stuff on it. It isn't 1996 any more and nobody gets public shell accounts on Linux systems or OpenBSD systems; similarly, remotely-exploitable vulnerabilities in other operating systems are also exceedingly rare, and so OpenBSD's benchmark excludes the LPEs that actually make up the meaningful attack surface of a modern OS.

What's a more important question is what features the operating system provides to harden the non-default programs that inevitably have to run on it. OpenBSD has historically lagged here, though they're upping their game recently.

Despite briefly being involved with the project during "The OpenBSD Security Audit" in the late 1990s, I have a longstanding bias against OpenBSD that I should be up front with: we shipped an appliance on OpenBSD at Arbor Networks, and I spent several days debugging a VMM problem that would zombify pages of memory and gradually suffocate our systems. When I presented evidence to Theo, he said (not a literal quote) "don't bother me about this, Chuck Cranor" --- I think it's Chuck Cranor but could be wrong --- "wrote this VMM as his graduate project and I've got nothing to do with it". For whatever that's worth, I've felt OpenBSD is an unserious option for deploying real systems other than near-stateless network middleboxes ever since.
It was credible enough to them that they would kill another human being over it.

The whole point of a lynch mob is that you get to throw out any objective standard of credible threat, and replace it with a subjective, heat-of-the-moment one, proposed by the thugs leading it, who know they will face no accountability for their actions.

That's what happens when you normalize lynching. Shitty people will happily use it as a weapon for injustice.

> if the justice system cannot help you then you have to take things into your own hands

Fortunately not many people seem to feel this way, maybe because revenge doesn't work as a criminal defense.

People who have been wronged are usually highly emotional and it's hard for them to put themselves outside of their circumstances and view the incident objectively.

Justice is supposed to be blind for good reason. If we all carried out our own version of justice, I'm sure you'd eventually run into someone who thought being too loud at night should be punishable by death.

There are many instances where victims of bullying feel they have no recourse other than revenge. I don't know the answer for how to make that situation better, but I know it's not murder.

Based on this recommendation, I signed up, but gracious, the UI is bad.
Strongly disagree.

I Am a Strange Loop spends an entire chapter of Hofstadter informing us how he is better than everyone else because he hears Bach better than everyone else. And this attitude fills the book, I found it very obnoxious and am not sure why no else mentions it.

There are at least two places in the book where he talks about an interesting point, then realizes it is a rehash of something from a previous book. And aside from the self-congratulations (did you know being a vegetarian makes you more of a person?), anything interesting in this book was done better in a previous book.

I would recommend The Mind's I instead. It's a collection of stories and essays from most of his influences, see what Turing, Lucas, et al. actually said.
Interesting work - seems like this could also be used to create a thin film that could yield thermal vision, if indeed the nanotubes upshift IR frequencies to visible light. But I’m not a physicist.

Yeah, apparently these power outages only lasted a little under an hour for the folks affected. The big disruption came from it taking out heavily-used sections of the train network during the evening commute and the operators seemingly not having an easy way to bring those back into operation.

It's nice it's not being used to undermine democracy. But honestly I'm surprised so few have been put off by the astoundingly aggressive dark patterns the site uses, as I was bombarded with them when going through the sign up flow years ago.

I certainly would not provide personal information to any site behaving that way let alone my professional information and contacts. Just the policy of using my name to spam advertisements to everyone in my life, including serious people, is beyond the pale. I'm surprised that alone does not put more people off.

And when these issues are brought up, the only rejoinder I have ever heard is that hidden somewhere is a link to a vast terms of service document. This of course only confirms the companies comfort with the behavior. And when posted by linkedin users, only serves to tell me the attitude of potential coworkers and employers using the site.

I am honestly astounded that it is so widely used: are there so many people that assume this level of dishonesty is innate to the work environment? Do people feel they must use it regardless in order to survive professionally? Because it's hard to imagine people join enthusiastically or what benefit could compensate for a level of behavior no one would tolerate elsewhere.

The solar panel at $132, accounted for 60% of the total cost (of $220). For a 100W panel, $132 is actually a good price, since it comes out to $1.32 per watt. Regardless, as nanomonkey mentioned, a lower-panel panel (perhaps a 50W one) would likely have sufficed. But even a 50W panel, at $1.32 per watt, would have cost $66.

I'm hoping for the day where we can print solar panels as cheaply as we print paper.
You sound like a cheater who hasn't been caught... yet. ;)
Not really. The difference in the land cost is effectively negligible. At this point (and it has been this way for many years), the limit in solar deployments is cost of panels and storage limitations.

There are vast chunks of empty land in AZ, NV, NM, TX, CA that could easily fit enough solar panels (each) to power all of the US. The issue is cost of panels and no base load supply.

Part of what makes these devices so terrifying is how fast-acting cyanide is. Direct exposure can kill within seconds -- if a child or pet triggers one of these devices, they may be dead before anyone can react, let alone before treatment is possible.

Similar devices have been used with sodium fluoroacetate ("1080") in Australia, which is even worse in some ways -- sodium fluoroacetate is less immediately lethal, but there is no known antidote.

Tips for Using Chatbots Effectively
You're talking about a step waaay further along in the process. I'm not currently looking for a job, and my linkedin profile says as much. Despite this, I still get so many recruiters asking to add themselves to my network that I ended up blocking those notifications from linkedin entirely, which probably has resulted in me missing non-spam requests from people I actually would want to connect with. I'm not going to waste my time responding to spam.
> turning heat into light

> channel mid-infrared radiation (heat energy) into light energy

> absorbs thermal photons and emits light.

Goddamnit, no! None of this is "heat", it's just one range of light being converted into another! This is shitty "science"-journalism parroting a common misconception.

After all, the only reason we associate infrared with "heat" in the first place is that it's useful for detecting things which happen to be at a range of temperatures, temperatures which just happen to be slightly warmer than the operating state of self-reproducing bags-of-mostly-water on a small rocky planet.
Could have issues with longevity, too. Who knows.
I don’t understand why you think these things are necessary or opposite.

You can have a system where everyone has a copy of the database. That is not hard, it just requires the separation of what a ballot means, from what is stored in the database. That is just these two-sided ballots with encrypted values on the right-hand-sides: so that the fact that I voted for #1 on my ballot does not tell those who hold the database who I voted for.

You can have a system where encrypted ballots are known by the people to have the values that they say they have. That is not hard, it just requires a challenge-response scheme. If I give you a box and claim there is a pony figurine inside, you can be suspicious: if I give you twenty thousand boxes and claim that they all have pony figurines inside of them, and you ask me to open ten thousand of them which you choose randomly, then for me to omit one pony I am facing a 50% detection rate, for two I am facing a 25% detection rate; to disenfranchise even 10 people from their ponies I will be caught in the act 99.9% of the time, and even then I can only disenfranchise 0.1% of the boxes.

So I can have great confidence that my vote was recorded for the first person on my ballot (I can see the database), and I can have great confidence that the first person on my ballot was Alice and not Bob or Carol (because they passed my challenge/response test).

You can also have a system where nobody can pay substantial sums of money for votes. That is also not hard, it just requires the things that users take home with them out of the voting booth to be easily forged, so that they cannot prove that they did not forge the thing.

Absolutely none of this requires homomorphic encryption; homomorphic encryption just streamlines some of the process around the decryption oracle: with HE tallying and anonymization happen outside of it, so that its internal structure simplifies drastically.
Welp, seems like a 4x improvement in efficiency would result in a lower cost per unit of energy.

Never once have I ever found a use case for making public EBS snapshots.

Who on Earth is thinking that it is a good idea to take an EBS snapshot and make it public?

Note, several of those engagements did involve multiple accounts, and the need to share / copy AMIs and/or snapshots between accounts. But never making them public.
At the other extreme, an Oster 76 is $150 and that doesn't even include a full set of combs, but it'll last several lifetimes - they'll go 20+ years in daily barbershop service even. And the 76 will cut even thick, hard to cut hair without bogging down; think "fades in natural African-American hair" which will absolutely bog down cheap clippers.

That said, if you have Caucasian hair and just want to do an acceptable trim-up on your top-of-head haircut, the $20 kit will last years and do just fine. You'll feel the difference if shaving anything else though.. even with easy to cut hair, the immense power and smoothness of a true professional clipper is amazing.
I just built a new computer and didn't seem to have an issue that I can remember installing the M.2 NVMe storage. Now I'm slightly worried I might have missed something, lol.

It might be easier for the reader, if we all used watts (W) when referring to power usage. Amperes (A) are useless without knowing the voltage (V). In the case of the Pi, since it runs on 5 V USB power, it was easy to calculate the wattage. But for devices of unknown voltage, amperes tell you nothing about power consumption. (For reference: a Pi at 1.2 A is using 6 W, and a Pi at 0.6 A is using 3 W.)

It's not like overkill in the solar panel department is harmful, especially if you're getting cheap chinesium stuff off ebay.

Nothing helps functioning in low-light situations, like overcast and cloudy days, better than excess panel area.

I have a minimally-sized panel I use for powering a laptop and it's rather annoying to have it underpowered in the slightest deviation from ideal circumstances. That same panel for charging smaller devices over USB like phones and tablets is an absolute dream thanks to the overkill, even overcast and cloudy days it never quits charging.
