I don’t see the issue? DoorDash authenticated that you own the email account via a trusted third party. Once authenticated they authorized you to use the account associated with that email address.

It’d be like someone else booking a hotel room as you. When you show up at the front desk they verify it’s you and then let you into that room because it is after all... yours.
Lots of services out there let you log in using both password or an external provider (Google, Facebook etc.)
Questions about "cp --reflink" (I have never used that option so far, but it sounds useful).

Quoting "man":

"When --reflink[=always] is specified, perform a lightweight copy, where the data blocks are copied only when modified. If this is not possible the copy fails"

Q1: this is copy-on-write, right?

Q2: once/if the command completes successfully, are there any (potential) dangers (e.g. if I then immediately delete the original file) or can the new file be treated 100% as if I had copied it the classical way (without that option)?

Thx
Accelerate, decelerate, stationary, moving, so much complicated math. It's not surprising computers can't handle it.
The key support is new, yes! I use it to connect to my Mac Pro at Apple Park :)
To me the difference is the intent - I didn't intend on entering someone else's account. If I'd tried to log in with a password/email, it would have told me the account already exists, or prompted me to reset the password, and then I'd need to request that and knowingly invade the account. This way I just walked right in without even knowing what I was doing - I didn't realize there was even a problem until I went "hey, that's not my phone number!".
I can assure you my regional office manager doesn't give a toss about "silicon valley brand recognition".

I think it's down to the customer. There's a post below about somebody being reassured "it's a We Work" office they'll be in.

When I've looked for a job, it's never entered by head to ask who manages the office (my assumption is that it's my employer and if I'm not happy, I'll take it up with my employer).

I can see if you've often worked in offices not run by your employer, you might have learnt to ask - but would think that's a small pool of people working frequently in shared spaces, having worked their frequently enough to have a preference.

Back to the OP - it's not a "hypothesis", this stuff's been going on for decades.
e.g. ~2000 I was working in Paris and visited our local guy in his local office on the prestigious "Champs Elysee" no less.
I went down the "Champs Elysee", then through a small door behind two shops, then walked back a couple of hundred meters, then through a warren of rooms, then in a room off a room, there was a desk... and that was our office. Hundreds of people all working at this prestigious address - we must have been silver-class as we had our own physical desk.

If you went right back to the entrance door, there was a receptionist you could specifically pay to 'represent you for the hour' and a set of very swish/generic meeting rooms you could pretend were yours to visitors.
If you don’t know much about proofs, you first have to learn how incredibly good mathematicians are at nitpicking (if they want to), and you have to accept that that is a good thing.

Thing is, if you want to be rigorous, you cannot accept anything as true, except for the axioms you’re working from, and you want as few and as simple as possible of those because that decreases the risk that your starting set is internally inconsistent. You also want every single step in your proof to be absolutely bloody obvious.

For example, if you want to build math from the ground up, you don’t accept that integer multiplication or even integer addition exist, but you construct them. In fact, you don’t even accept that integers exist; you construct them, for example from natural numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer#Construction)

Starting with the absolute basics also allows you to pick and choose which axioms to start with, for example by not including the law of the excluded middle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_excluded_middle#Logicis...) or the parallel postulate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_postulate#History)

For learning how deep that nitpicking can go, http://us.metamath.org/index.html (A proof assistent that is, IMO, simpler to understand than many other ones, but has really, really long proofs) may be illustrative. See for example their proof that 2+2=4.

Once you accept that every detail needs your full attention, I think https://leanprover.github.io/theorem_proving_in_lean/ has a decent introduction.

If you just want an introduction to _a_ theorem prover, http://www.cs.ru.nl/~freek/comparison/comparison.pdf (discusses 17 different ones) also may be useful.
I wonder, though. Here is a thought experiment. What if eating another creature was seen as an act of respect and tribute? I for one enjoy eating highly intelligent animals. I see it as a priviledge to do so. For that reason, if octopus is on the menu you can bet I'm going to eat some.

> small sacrifices

My impression ist that people are talking about sacrifices for the sake of sacrafices and not to solve the problem. If the global warming (and related problems) would be (magically) solved tomorrow, they would be disappointed because no sacrifices were needed any more.

Are sacrifices even enough to solve global warming?

And sacrifices have a marketing problem. It's hard to sell them to billions of people.
If they're not willing to disclose information, we should simply assume the least favorable interpretation to them, and act and legislate accordingly.

The official blog post doesn't give any information about the breach except "We noticed a third-party had unauthorized access to DoorDash data", and the TechCrunch article says that DoorDash responded that they couldn't explain how the breach happened. How are they so sure that they fixed the underlying cause if they don't even know how the third-party got access in the first place?
Honestly? A minutes scale might be more appropriate there. Unless we add the "Major" but then, what is major?

I think information flow can be designed to accommodate remote work, especially if the company is focusing on remote workers. Same goes for promotions, if the company is focusing on remote work (i.e. would prefer to have more remote workers than office workers) it can and will sort out promotions.

The problems I mentioned seem to me a bit more fundamental, problems of personally coping with working remotely rather than company attitude towards remote workers.
What was the point? I don't know because I stopped reading after a few paragraphs.

Assuming most FARC arms are sourced in the U.S. and then shipped south, I could speculate as to the AK’s present scarceness.

New Chinese and Russian AKs are currently hard to find in the U.S. due to sanctions. China’s Norinco was sanctioned for trying to sell AKs (and heavy weapons) directly to L.A. street gangs. Russian state-owned arms manufacturers were sanctioned due to Russia’s military involvement in Ukraine. You can find new AKs for sale in the U.S., but they’re from a limited number of manufacturers and more expensive than the equivalent AR-style rifles.

In contrast, AR-style rifles are massively oversupplied right now, in the wake of both the Obama presidency and Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy. Manufacturers built up large inventories in expectation of “panic buying” after Hillary’s election. When that didn’t happen and sales didn’t pick up accordingly, prices fell. In fact, Colt recently stopped making AR-15s for consumers, saying “The fact of the matter is that over the last few years, the market for modern sporting rifles has experienced significant excess manufacturing capacity.”
I don't know a great deal about DoorDash, but my understanding is that they're only in the US. If so, they're not bound by the EU's GDPR data breach disclosure timescales, which are "without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours" if they're likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of data subjects, which this seems to fit. Compare that with the apparent five month delay here, with all its attendant risks to the customers whose data was made available. The EU has its flaws, but when I read stories like this I'm really happy I'm covered by GDPR.
I suppose so. I guess we assume that email ownership is digital ownership - even though they never verified that the user in fact owned the email? I wonder how that legally works - was I in the wrong for unwittingly accessing someone else's information?
That's why force-unwrap is so bad: the compiler is telling you there's a risk, at a time you can do something sensible about it, and force-unwrap puts solving the problem off to the worst possible scenario. My production user base can't afford "actionable crash reporting" as a debugging tool vs compiler warnings; even 0.01% of users experiencing it would get very expensive.
1) Yes, it's copy on write, and requires such support from the underlying filesystem (Btrfs, maybe XFS not sure of what others support it)

2) It's intended to be treated 100% as if it had been copied the classical way. It's not a hardlink or a symlink and can be treated as a completely new file

I'm not sure, but I think that the author is arguing that we can't say for sure whether any other creatures are conscious. There are the mirror experiments, but ultimately, we know that humans are (in general) conscious because we (personally) are conscious.

Are you serious? That false narrative fueled by FUD has been the talking point by short-sellers since 2008 (Only Tesla and Ford survived the 2008 market crash btw).

Interesting point. Could you recommend something to read about this topic, or maybe you have some writeups of your own? Mainly interested about the correlation between quantum mechanics and the problem of consciousness.

You might have a point if philosophers had been arguing for decades and written huge tomes on whether or not there is an invisible pink unicorn. But they haven't.

There's two kinds of gravity assist.

Slingshot uses the motion of the planet around the sun, and pulls the probe along with it in the same direction that the planet is orbiting the sun.

The probe comes in perpendicular to the solar orbit, and leaves parallel to the solar orbit, and faster (relative to the sun). Relative to the planet there is no change in speed.

Kind of like bouncing a ball against a moving car. Relative to the car nothing happened, but relative to the ground the ball is faster.

Gravity burn is more complicated. (Oberth effect)

Imagine a stationary rocket (bolted to the ground). All the energy of the fuel is in the exhaust, and none in the rocket.

Now imagine the reverse - a really fast rocket, now way more of the energy is in the rocket (and less in the exhaust).

So what do you do? You fall toward a planet, and at the point where you are moving fastest, you fire your rocket. Now not only does your fuel have the energy inherent in it, it also has all the energy from falling toward the planet.

And this is the big idea here: You leave that fuel behind as exhaust! So when you climb back out of the planet you don't carry the fuel with you.

Normally falling toward a planet, and leaving the planet exactly cancel out. But you used the oberth effect to leave the fuel behind at the point where the fuel has the most kinetic energy.

Network usage of CPU is tippically well bellow rounding error on a usual system.

Isn't that the point of LiteX and Migen though? To reduce the barrier to entry in time and budget? Before the RPi came along SBC's were fairly expensive, and the RPi was only able to offer a product at that price because of scale.

Just flipping through 1994 issue 11 was pretty amazing: There's a short article about how network interconnect policy changes might affect end users, an blurb on Tektronix getting a patent on rasterizing images, and a large article on Chrysler's "Patriot" hybrid race car, which they were planning on racing at Le Mans (the didn't due to issues with the flywheel energy storage device).

Personally speaking, I never liked this line of thinking.

A Tesla has ~70 kW-hrs of energy, and its motor uses all of that power in 5-hours (5-hours x 60 miles per hour == 300 miles). Just round numbers for an estimate.

For those paying attention, that's roughly 14,000 watts of power (again: round estimate, but we're probably +/- within a magnitude). Do you really care if your computer makes you use 14100 watts of power or 14500 watts of power?
> and the left have lost touch with the lower classes

This isn't remotely true. The left is overwhelmingly concerned with working-class people in the US (and in the UK). Do you mean the left as in anyone not Republican/Tory?
It's essentially duplicating the file metadata into a new inode with shared data extents and incrementing the extent backref count so that the extent tree with those extents shows that there are multiple referrers.

If either file is written to, it's COW.

You can treat both files as if they are normal files, as if they're identical copies. It's just that the duplication doesn't take up additional space other than metadata.

A possible caution, just in general, on Btrfs is that each subvolume gets its own stash of inodes. In a subvolume, inode numbers are unique, you won't see the same inum in use more than once. But inode numbers aren't unique on the volume. So two completely unrelated files can have the same inum but they would be in different subvolumes (including snapshots where this is particularly noticable because a snapshot is really just a pointer to the parent subvolume and all the inums are unchanged.)
That sounds very authoritarian.

Equifax's story is different, people don't have a choice whether to use them (if people did they'd already be out of business) and they have a near-monopoly, not to mention they are profitable so they are here to stay.

Doordash? They're just a shitty startup trying to "disrupt" the market by forgetting laws and morals and are only surviving thanks to VC money. People are not obliged to use them, and since they're essentially providing a commodity people can easily choose to use a competitor, only accelerating Doordash's inevitable demise. People aren't always reasonable, and such incidents can sway them towards other competitors (even though I doubt the competitors are any better in terms of security).
