Too Hot to Last? Investigating Intel's Claims About Ryzen Reliability
Thank you. Praise Yeezus. :)
A straightforward reading of http://oregonvotes.org/irr/2020/041text.pdf suggests that any Amazon Go location would be restricted to two checkout lanes, both automated. Amazon would likely argue that they have only one checkout lane per location, but that it is quite a speedy lane. The text uses the undefined word "station"; Amazon might well argue that they don't have any stations for their process. Amazon Go is partially affected by the findings, as well, but we already know that Go is obviously a tantalizing shoplifting target.

As somebody who might sign the petition for, vote for, and be affected by this law, this all seems reasonable. Amazon presumably wants their Go locations to have no grocer staff whatsoever, and only a token of security staff and restocking robots. Outlawing that seems difficult and not worthwhile. I think that we should be sympathetic towards automated bodegas; they won't be able to replace Plaid Pantry and 7-Eleven anytime soon in Oregon, unless they can sell tobacco, booze, lottery tickets, Hop cards, hot food, or any of those other things that the law requires a live human employee behind the counter to vend.

Nicole Loher is better known as an Instagram/Tumblr influencer who graduated high school early to work in fashion while attending college in New York (she pretty actively blogged during this time), so it's plausible she started some sort of routine at 16.

Human is not the most important things in the universe. It is necessary to avoid the idea that it is the most important things in universe.

However, business is not the most important things in the universe either. Love of money is the root of all evil.

Also, it is not quite clear to me what "human centred design" is meaning, exactly.

I can also comment about the first paragraph: Much of the newer software isn't actually that good user interfaces design, and also omits stuff that is good to have, and if the user has not read the instructions then they may easily make a mistake that is their own mistake, I think. (I think the better design is you have enough ropes to hang yourself, and also a few more just in case. It should not stop the user to do a stupid thing because then it prevents a good thing from being done, also.)
Funnily, I don't think there is any other company that protects users private data better than Google. Not military, not Apple, none of them come closer to it.

It would never go to trial.

The ones arrested that have the means would hire private lawyers and receive deferred prosecution agreements or simply charges dropped.

The ones without the means would be assigned public defenders who would give them 1 hour of time every 2 weeks, just enough to wear them out and accept a plea deal in lieu of going to court.

The 1% that didn't have the means but fought anyways would go to court/trial, and would also have charges dropped before it went that far.
What happens if their private key gets exposed? A third of the internet being suddenly insecure is a really scary prospect. If everything is automated, a lot of smaller sites may not notice until the certificate expires, or even for some time after that.

Having more options means less fallout if a CA gets compromised.

You make fair points and I'll be the first to say that my experience (and preference) lies elsewhere, so I'll explore the links on Monday to see if they make life easier.

The major point that I didn't make clear enough about statuses "not working" is that even if there were more statuses, they are manual. We observed that people manually changed their status, most often, to "Available" from another non-available status, under Skype for Business. Outside of that, people simply didn't manually manipulate their status. And when they did, they'd often leave it that way for a ridiculously long time because they'd simply "forget".

Inadequate status choices are not as bad as completely unreliable statuses. Teams shined in providing enough status about a user, automatically, for a non-developer, non-technical user to reliably answer the question "Will I get an answer to my IM/call when I send it?" and "Is my IM/call highly likely to be an interruption?".

If you used it for telephony, or had the Skype for Business mobile client installed, you switched to "In a call" when you were on the phone, "In a conference" when you joined a Skype for Business conference call, "Do not disturb - Sharing" when you started screen sharing (and it kept inbound messages from showing up on-screen for your audience). Honestly, it seems like one of those under-the-fold bullet point features, but it is its most important.

In the scenario you talk about, above, two things have to happen (after configuration is altered to allow changing statuses). The user has to regularly change their status to signal their availability (not physical presence or time of day, but "I am busy doing something that should keep me from responding"). And the rest of the users have to rely on that status. The only way that happens is if the status is accurate far more often than it is wrong. That won't happen unless everyone is rigorous with making status changes... and that's not a memo I want to send.

Lync/Skype for Business (and I assume Teams) gives you both options. Let it run automatically and it'll switch your status when you receive/make a call, join a conference or have a meeting time blocked out in your calendar for you and put it back when you're done, or set it to what you want. And you could extend this capability[0] and automate it in different ways.

[0] The old on-prem version was insanely customizable; you could completely re-implement the client, they provided every hook required to re-implement dial-in conferencing (an "Enterprise" feature) in Standard edition (and actively assisted in a project I worked to do just that).
Will vouch for Peter! Wouldn't have started a company without his help.

Which for parallelism probably switches the question to “why Crystal over Pony”, since Crystal seems to preserve the key C++ footguns specifically linked to parallelism.
This is pure ignorance on my part, but do plug type doors seal as strongly when on the ground ?
True, but the Android launch was seven days after the purchase... Surely its release was already imminent. Regardless, you're right and this is an interesting tidbit!

Thing about that, Facebook is known to construct "shadow profiles" of people who don't have normal profiles, just to correlate all of the data they happen to gather on you from having their tendrils on half the sites on the internet. It might be better off to create a profile with your info just to turn off as many things as you can, and not interact with anybody on it.
Nice, thanks for the reminder about pi-hole! Been meaning to set it up for so long now! :)
In this context, innocuous might mean something that would not have any meaningful chance of occurring in real-world operation, and should not have occurred during the stress test. So purely an artifact of the test, in other words.

This is an enormous assumption. Many babies are fussy, colicky, or otherwise high maintenance. The variation at this age is just ridiculous.
That's kinda the point. Right now the PSL is the best solution for a lot of things, but it fails at all of them.

The PSL is compiled into most web libraries (as a security measure), so those domains are only truly separate if the browser is new enough to have the updated version of the PSL. In other cases they all look like the same domain and you get no security and no privacy. In case you think this unlikely, how many people still use cell phones that are no longer being updated? How many "smart" TVs or other web-enabled devices aren't getting updates?

Of course, if you have a way of ensuring that browsers whose PSL is too old can't access your site or any of its subdomains then you might have some guarantee of security.

The point is that we need something that works. There are a few ideas out there. First party sets would do a lot for security and privacy, but there are issues with using them for reputation and attribution.

Back when Chrome was based on WebKit, IIRC Chrome team found and fixed oodles and oodles of bugs in WebKit, because WebKit wasn't even using fuzzing, or not enough fuzzing. Even as late as 2017, fuzzing was still finding significantly more security issues in Safari than other browsers: https://www.securityweek.com/fuzzing-reveals-over-30-web-bro...

Also, when discussing iCloud, you need to distinguish between the backend service, and the frontend service. There have been significant CVEs found in the front-end client. Apple doesn't run many front end Web services, so there's less to exploit. They also don't allow you to host executable code like AWS, Azure, and GCP, so the attack surface is much more confined.

That Google has exposed their infrastructure to the unforgiving nature of the Web for 2 decades, with exploits few and far between, is a testament to the quality of the security engineers.

I don't think my opinion applies to self serve gas stations. Pumping your own gas happened a while ago and I imagine at a slower pace which allowed society as a whole to adapt to this change.

I think self checkout, while similar, is being adopted at a faster rate and at a different time when other jobs are also being similarly impacted.

I'm not saying self checkout is bad. I'm only saying we need to think about the overall impact (both positive and negative) on society and proceed accordingly.

I agree there's a lot of benefits to self checkout and I think that's the future we're headed towards --- and I don't think that's a bad thing.

I was only trying to say that technology impacts people in good and bad ways and we should have a holistic view of it when we think about how we, as a society, adopt and legislate it.
Don't Trust Google (2002)
I don't understand: I believe that per-planet eternal growth is unsustainable, so I guess I am in the "degrowth" group mentioned, but that does not take away my belief that a globalised solar-powered future is realistic? It just means we will have to step away from unbounded growth based reasoning as well.
"The test is meant to push the plane beyond its limits. Engineers had the plane pressurized and on the ground. They loaded it up well beyond capacity and bent its wings in an extreme manner, in a way almost certain to never happen in the real world."

"Dr. Curtis said this is not the time to race to conclusions, and it could be something totally innocuous that caused the door to come off. But it could cause delays. "It's unlikely this will speed up certification," he said. "It's more likely it will make the certification team, whoever's involved with Boeing and the FAA, do extra work to figure out what happened."
So, I'll just hop in here and lay out the spoiler.

There is a major performance difference in the Taycan, it's endurance, and it's highly likely this transmission is a key element to achieving it.

For those that don't know, Tesla's cars can not keep their maximum performance up for a very long time. The battery gets hot and lowers power output until it cools back down. The Taycan, while not having as impressive max specs or range (and some serious questionability about the charging claims) CAN keep its maximum performance indefinitely. At least through a full discharge of the battery pack, but, also after a recharge it can keep going and they demonstrated this recently with a 24 hour marathon test drive stopping only to charge it.

So, without really getting into all the weird perception based arguments, there is clearly a difference in performance and the transmission may be critical to it.
Given that the population of browser useragents that only understand TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 is under 1% now, I've set all of my public facing apache2 httpd to only speak TLS1.2 and better. Have had things that way for about two years now and with zero reported usability issues.
