Web assembly is generally an optimization, not an app alternative. Think of it the way you would the C bindings Node.js has. If you've got a compute-heavy code path, writing it in C (or Rust etc) and shipping it as web assembly could be a dramatic perf improvement, but there's not really a substantive benefit to writing your entire app with it.
Like other people mentioned, the tech is called magnetic secure transmission. I don't have a source for "most", but it's been in all of their flagships and some of the midrange phones since the Galaxy S6 so it seemed like a safe assumption. The only 2 places it doesn't work easily for me are Trader Joe's and gas stations. There's a hacky workaround to use MST at gas stations but IMO it's not worth the effort (the pumps expect a card to be physically inserted, so you can just put in a library card or your driver's license before you hold your phone up to the reader)

It makes the conceptual model of the OS more complex. Filesystems with basic permissions are easy to understand becuse of the forced structure. IMO, ACLs are a bad idea for the same reason, they make it harder to see what is going on while not solving a problem I actually have. I guess they do solve problems that some people have so that makes them more attractive if you are one of those people but IMO there must be better ways to solve those problems.

Personally, I'd like to see version control and file compression integrated in my filesystem. I do not want my operating system to be distributed or rely on network access.

I also think a separation between administrative access to the full system and views of applications may be a good idea. It seems to me that the ideal OS would heavily restrict the file and network access of applications and there would be a separate administrative domain with full access but limited complexity. The operating system then manages the sharing of needed data between applications and network access that the user allows. I think having the system parse a standard configuration file format for applications would make sense in this model, but that configuration file can still just be text. Also having a sub-user permissions structure similar to the overall system users seems like a good idea to me. Many applications that users run are hostile and dealing with that requires major changes vs current desktop operating systems. Database vs. filesystem is a minor issue in comparison and personally I don't see the appeal of using a database.
The billions Google pays Apple is purely a tax that they extract from them. If it's meant to buy Apple off then it doesn't appear to be working given the privacy features that Apple continues to roll out.
The problem with algo is you still have to pick a host country to put the server in, and then follow that countries laws.
> > Why should Mozilla (which is not a Kazakhstan entity) be subject to the laws of Kazakhstan?

> Because there is no superior sovereign over Kazakhstan to say no. That's what sovereignty is ultimately about.

But Mozilla doesn't reside in Kazakhstan. So what are you saying? That Kazakhstan can make a rule that has zero real-world effect because they can't enforce it, and because nobody can make them change their rule, they are therefore sovereign?

If you want the truth here it is. Tesla has installed millions of defective amphenol connectors all over the u.s. These connectors are catching fire and burning down homes and businesses. They are hiding it with something called project titan where they are hiring thousands of people just to replace connectors. The problem is that they are testing it with infrared cameras to see if the connector heats up and only then replacing it. These connectors are defective meaning just because it passes one day it does not mean it wont fail the next even after testing. Tesla refuses to replace all of these connectors betting on insurance to cover any fires and only looking at homes when their monitoring platform reports arc faults. This is why they are dismantling the solar division with layoffs. Right now if you have tesla installed on your roof you may have a ticking time bomb ready to kill you in your sleep. If you have it on your business same thing. Don't believe me, google walmart fires. If you have tesla stock better prepare to sell it because when this gets out it is going to crash. They need to do the right thing and shut off all systems with these connectors and replace them with mc4. They wont because it would cost them hundreds of millions to do and hundreds of thousands of dollars on lost production. Do the right thing Tesla."
Definitely agreed with that. We've found that "underperforming" is most likely than not the fault of company management and/or culture.

Hope you've recovered from the burn out!
I assume this is mostly for windows? All Linux and I assume Mac has openjdk available in the repos. The openjdk project itself also hosts binaries for *Nix
It was deprecated, but still some users have connection issues, I still have no access to a gmail from a office network without VPN. This is what I mean by saying that our state software is lame, they deprecated the cert two weeks ago and there is still issues with connection, and I'm sure they kinda don't care.

I have feeling that they had gathered database with usernames and passwords, cause only certian sites were targeted to use mitm, mostly it was mail services like gmail and social networks, facebook, youtube and others. Other sites were working fine even without that cert.

And after that mitm they had to stop, due to people's discontent and lawsuits. These are also reputational losses, it is unlikely that foreign companies will want to do business in a country in which personal data treated this way and where government wants to see all your passwords from email services and bank accounts.

There was also a question about ensuring the security of a root certificate that can decrypt data, it could easily get to third parties who could use it for their own purposes.
As I understand it, if you come across a certificate signed by a CA that claims to follow CT, but isn't in the CT logs, it's a fairly major red flag - at the very least, the certificate has been mis-issued. If the third party _does_ log it in certificate transparency, a site owner can check if any certificates have been issued that they did not ask for.

Question for those with a fuller understanding: How can a browser verify this without leaking knowledge about every SSL certificate (and thus a significant percentage of browsing history) they have seen?
Right. With Flask, I can simply get to the point where I'm rendering templates, styling with CSS, adding assets and populating template variables with data from simple (or complex) functions I've written.

You can take care of a lot with just that.
>Being an RTOS is only necessary if your application has a requirement for real-time response

Or, in other words, the operating system is not general purpose, because it is not suitable for these uses.

Do note these uses do include the likes of audio. If there's no way to guarantee latency, then a spike will surely eventually cause an overrun, which will be perceived as an audio hiccup. Sometimes, this is just an annoyance. On a live performance or in pro audio work, it can be fatal.

A good microkernel will allow mixed criticality tasks to share the system. A lot of recent research in the topic has brought SeL4 to this point.
My perspective differs.

Dedekind cuts have a special case at all of the rationals. Which is weird. And the whole construct the completion using equivalence classes of sequences construction is one you'll encounter a bunch of times in topology. So it is worth learning it properly.

Plus if you're into that kind of thing, you can also construct the p-adics this way. :-)

This we can agree on. You'll note that I never said "global warming isn't real" or that "we should sit on our hands". I criticized this particular policy proposal as being both ineffective and economically punitive.

There are better ways to tackle global warming... I proposed a few ideas above.

I use Firefox and very much look forward to the Chromium version of Edge as well. I only use Chrome to do work related things.
> So much time is waiting executing rote processes by hand across industries

I've personally seen many times how companies prefer doing those hand processes, even after having paid me for developing a solution to solves that. Humans are strange creatures.

The big problems that most people want solved and can indeed be solved have already been solved. For the most part we're now in the phase of solving small problems, refining current solutions, and maybe creating new problems with its own set of solutions.

Of course there are many big problems that haven't been solved because those are extremely difficult and expensive to solve which falls outside of the realm of startups. For example an HIV vaccine, super efficient solar cells, cold fusion, efficient energy storage, brain computer interface, dark energy, dark matter, etc.
I think that currently this certificate is used in state organizations and I have to work with Internet from there. Obviously VPN is not an option. I would hate to use IE instead of Firefox just because of that. I guess I would use some old version and prevent it from upgrade, but that's just stupid.

Also I really dislike that Mozilla wants to decide who should I trust. If I added that certificate, it's my business, not theirs. They should encrypt bytes and display HTML, not engage in foreign politics.
Yes, totally agree on your point. I still enjoy Asimov, but stand by my original comment that he is one of those authors whose writing doesn't tick some boxes that are now considered important.
LinusTechTips did a video on anonymous browsing with VPNs and TOR yesterday and I wish they had been more serious on this bit. The top/pinned comment when I viewed was along the lines of "What is a good free VPN, not a trial", and LTT themselves responded something like "None. Bandwidth costs money and you should be suspicious of a VPN that doesn't make money in a clear way." Still, I bet 99% of viewers won't see a comment response.

But even then, and I realize this gets a bit tinfoily, but as a thought experiment, is there a really good, reasonably trustless, way to vet a VPN?

For example I use PIA because of word of mouth and a few incidents in the past which show trustworthiness. But how can I really prove they're not secretly backed by China and I'm paying $5/mo for higher priority access to a Chinese VPN farm? Or at the very least that they are honest on any given day about not retaining log data.
Low-priority, but a lot of the text needs to be broken into paragraphs so it's not just giant oil spills of text.
Well, you answered the question for me "You just have to live in a metro area, not suburbs".

I'm not saying I couldn't do both of those things when working from home, merely that as an added bonus of working out of an office I end up doing those things more often.
Another benefit I suppose is that you can choose from many more languages. Whether that is substantive or not depends on the person, I guess.
Worked for a publicly traded energy company that does this.
Did I say that I didn't want oil to exist or for it to not be made available? I said that we shouldn't just take whatever cheapest solution the company proposes. These companies are not hurting for profits. Making them try a little harder to come up with solutions for transportation that doesn't endanger countless people with far reaching effects. This is about minimizing the risk when something happens. Something ALWAYS happens... maybe not in 1 year or 5 years but in 10, 20, 30 years, something will happen... we need to minimize the damage when that happens.
> Basically we're talking a massive overhaul with very little financial benefit (and often quite the opposite) to those owning "the means of production".

Not just those owning the means of production. There will be massive consequences to those using what is produced. Doing this in the time frame needed, without having the disruption of doing it causing millions of deaths, is not going to be easy.

Timatic just expresses requirements.

There’s a big open space in « How to achieve those requirements ».

And Timatic mostly concerns itself with entry. The requirements to work is another big open space.
well, it's one thing if you did so unknowingly.

but if you have a close and long running relationship with a proven creep (of different flavors), your moral compass becomes suspect, and after it becomes public knowledge, it becomes a question of whether your association indicates approval of the bad behavior.

it's not always clearcut in private figures, but when the creep(of different flavors) is a nationally known figure, I think the onus is relatively clear... hold the person at some arms length.
Well one of the key points is that interrupts (apparently) do not drain currently executing instructions: almost all outstanding isntructions are thrown away, including already executed but unretired instructions. Only the next to retire instruction is apparently allowed to complete (possibly because interrupts are only checked every time an instruction retires).
I think he's a bit like Howard Stern in that his interview style tends to disarm guests. I think there's also something to be said about the long form interview where guests can fully discuss a topic without needing to dilute responses into sound bites.
It can be helpful to just pull binaries from AdoptOpenJDK when you know you want a very specific version.

System packages shift around minor versions which is fine 99% of the time (given Java's compatibility especially). I've occasionally needed to work around a bug in a specific version.
Have you looked at Meshroom ? If you have enough photos maybe you can select a subset which are similar enough to get the algorithm working.

It's a hot research subject combining deep learning and SLAM, to be able to estimate the locations and have a neural network hallucinate the view from a specific position. There will probably be some turn-key solution with-in a few years.

But for the virtual visit you may not want no solve the full hard problem of reconstructing the 3d point cloud, if you have the position and orientation of the pictures (which you can position manually), you can have a rendering like in street-view or those point-and-click games, where you jump, to the closest picture in the right orientation. It will also have the merit of not suppressing the foreground of the pictures which in a certain sense is kind of the heart of the memory lane.
Loans and Mortgages predate fractional reserve banking and loans in fact predate institutional banking. They are in fact created by lending out capital to other people. In institutional banks this capital was initially depositors money. The whole concept of bank runs initially existed because if people lose faith in a bank too many of the deposits are lent out to provide the money to everyone who tries to withdraw. Fractional reserve banking comes with the printing of the certificates out of air, but generally from paper money that existed and was controlled by a government acting through an entity like a central bank.
This sounds like a quite promising generation method. They quote 10x10 meter area with 100 layers as potentially generating 2-5 kwh.

It fails to mention if water flow can be continuous or has to be droplets and flow speed/salt content required for that generation.

Running in reverse to generate propulsion is also mentioned. Covering a submarine and just moving a thin layer of water out of the way to move forward is a super interesting application.
This was addressed in the article from multiple angles:

The first being that women have to work harder than men for recognition, and that they benefit less from co-authored papers with men (because it's assumed that the man did most of the work). There's also feeder labs with male PIs that are less likely to hire women in addition to sexual harassment potentially stymying professional growth.

So while none of these are directly responsible, each individual piece contributes to the systematic sexism women face and can potentially explain the gap.
I know you're only asking about the name but wanted to share some other helpful feedback as well.

I usually worry about all-in-one tools being a combination of the most popular features of each specific tool but not being powerful enough to perform the job of said tool. To mitigate this, I think having full pages breaking down each of those sections (instead of just paragraph sections) would be helpful. I like these short summaries, but additionally linking out to full sub-product detail pages would be very helpful. I wonder how each of these sub-products compare to their full product alternatives and don't quite understand from the landing page how interconnected they all are in order to make me willing to forego certain features/functionality for the sake of data organization.

As an example: We use Pipedrive as our CRM - it has concepts like: User ACL, Deals, Contacts, Organizations, Activities, etc. It offers visual workflow automation, a robust API, and advanced filtering searching capabilities. I'd like to see all of the features I'd get with Burnout's CRM to help me evaluate the product before I'd consider switching.

Regarding the name: personally, as a founder/engineer, when I hear the term burnout I think of the negative mental/physical/emotional state that I (and friends/teammates) have experienced in the past - so the name puts me off. A suggestion could be something like (warning: bad ideas alert): Startup (another play on words - since this guides you through starting up) or Blueprint.

It looks like you've built a ton of product here and I'm excited to see a live demo and check it out myself.
I want to ask two (genuine) questions. Note that these are not statements or attempting to imply something, they are just questions and I am looking for answers, not critiques of my questions (it is silly that I even have to state this, but I do).

1) What percentage of women in each stage of the pipeline want to become full professors?

2) What is the expected level of sexism at the university? I have always seen universities tending towards very liberal, progressive views (generally speaking), both in the student body and the staff, but that is just my observation.

Hey! I'd not noticed you were involved. EDIT: Where are my manners. Hope you're well too!

So, yeah, qmail is fine as a starting base, but there are important things that a modern MTA/MSA needs to have:

- MSAs need to support user authentication in
SUBMIT (no open relays)
- MTAs and MSAs need to support TLS
- MTAs should -really, need to- support DANE
for authenticating SMTP servers

There's more stuff too (delivery options, filtering, ...), but protocol-wise, the above are critical.

I'm not sure that portability is such a problem that you can't use Rust. Rust runs on all modern OSes, which is all you need to support in a new MTA/MSA. And Rust is fairly easy to get into, actually.
The article suggests that mutation patterns arise in predictable ways depending on the carcinogen, which is how they pinpointed the origin of CTVT to China.
That's a use case, but there are many others, as the article mentions, like lightweight isolation for server side apps or writing your frontend app in a different language (not pragmatic today, but could be in the future).

Sometimes I fantasize about a tool/service that we can just follow without thinking and reap the benefits towards goals we configure it for.

Obviously, we can plan with all the charts and calendars we want, but it would still fall on us to follow thru with the plan. Minus the usual sudden emotional trigger or attempts to temporarily increase willpower, how could an app actually get a lazy person to act consistently towards their goals?
From my experience, poverty do increase your sadness and make your life really harder. It yanks away a lot of control from you and your ability to exert your free will is reduced. It also comes with stress, especially in countries without social networks and safety nets.

It won't however make your positive moments any less important. You will be more likely to suffer from mental health issues but that's statistics and they don't represent daily life of people accurately.

If you are not suffering from something such as depression you will still find satisfaction from social encounters, from your community and your family. Unless living in a dangerous situation, your will still be able to feel content about your life. Love will still matter just as much.

That being said, this is my experience living below the poverty line in Canada where healthcare and social programs exists.

Pardon my ignorance, but hasn't it been trivially known why orninthine and DAB don't make proteins? This was a test question in undergrad bioorganic chemistrty class 15 years ago. Ornithine can self-cyclize to make a six membered lactam, and DAB will self-cyclize to make a five membered lactam, which are energetically favorable, and thus chain termination compete with chain extension polymerization, making them unsuitable for proteinogenesis.

edit: read the paper carefully. They came to the same conclusion. But... Is this new?
