If that's true, he would've talked a long time ago.

The exploit requires the device to be put into DFU mode first and can’t be triggered by connecting a cable alone.

Not at all, probably.

From what I know about CRISPR, and forensic DNA testing, it should be extremely difficult or impossible to, for example, change your "genetic fingerprint" as it is called.

If I remember correctly, those methods primarily use repetitive patterns, which should be hard to modify with CRISPR. And you'd need to modify hundreds of them, and in billions of cells of your body (even if you try to only get white blood cells and their progenitors).
I fully believe you could get a first-rate education with only a chalk board and a tree for shade. Similarly, soldiers and body builders in the Soviet Union did their training with a pull up bar, a bench, and a few free weights. You don’t need much equipment for anything if your technique is good and the same applies to education.

When I was 6, my older sisters hamster died. My father put the body in a box in the deep freezer because this was the dead of winter and we couldn’t bury it until the ground thawed. He didn’t tell anyone. A few weeks later I was looking for ice pops and found the frozen mummified hamster. I can’t handle being around dead pets to this day.

NASA chief throws shade at SpaceX ahead of Elon Musk's Starship update
It's possible I saw a member of the Fugate family back in the '80s. I grew up in West Virginia, not terribly far from the Kentucky state line. An older woman, perhaps in her seventies, was shopping in a local grocery store. I was old enough to know not to stare, but I wanted to, and couldn't help but do a sly double-take. She was bluish. No other way to describe it. No one there to witness it ever seemed to believe me (not that I can blame them), but it was a few years later that I learned the name of the family and did some research. Photos of people who are doped with enough colloidal silver to cause argyria (I think that's right) always make me think of her, and I often wonder if that was really what I saw at the time.
In my view, there is no situation in which binding arbitration should be an enforceable term in any kind of consumer agreement. In fact, I’m struggling to think of any situation where it would be applicable for any other agreement either, outside of international treaties. What’s the legitimate case for these terms?

Good article. Mandatory binding arbitration is something that has been long past due for being made illegal. It also shows very clearly the falicy of "if you don't like it go somewhere else". When nearly every company is doing this, their power to shape the market is evident.

While market forces are in place and proactive consumers could help shape this, their influence is asymmetric. They have limited time, do not have resources to dedicate to learning about these issues and pushing for changes or switching to only buying from companies without these clauses. This is where collective resources, taxes, should be spent in looking out for the greater good of the economy and citizens through regulations. Regulations being laws and enforcement of those laws that ensure fairness and minimize fraud.

Making money selling cars that are "new * " ( * now maybe with cosmetic or mechanical damage) is an erosion of quality of goods that benefit companies and not consumers. Over time and in net effects it hurts the economy as you also have less transparency - people now hesitate to buy goods or take longer to buy goods because they're not sure of quality that they might receive. In this example it's a car, but it could also very well be food, drugs or any other more essential item. Their time is spent further evaluating the items they need to buy rather than reading to their kids at night, spending mental energy on taking night classes to gain more skills, or simply contributing to the economy through their work.

Feel free to create the "moral/ethical software" movement, but please don't touch the current definition of free software.

People already have a hard time understanding what free software exactly is/requires/provides. Changing the definition at this point would only create confusion, especially if the new one is even more ethically grounded.
For as long as we humans have existed, we've sought for better and more effective tools, and now you're saying that's overrated?

They came to a consensus yeeeears ago about what can and cannot go into Free Software licenses.

I'm all for more fairness, but remember that for example the GPL is a giant legal hack, and maybe the next breakthrough will be an equally big legal and/of technical hack and not necessarily an attempt to amend other free licenses?

Edit: seeing how things play out in the US and Canada I'm even more sure than before that politics should be kept far out of tech.

>You can't provide that level of service with NHS-type funding

Places like Singapore do well at providing good service on sub NHS funding. Also people actually like the system there unlike the US and to some extent the NHS. (Brit here - NHS is ok but a bit rubbish at times). I think it's worthy of study / emulation.

I think they are something like 1/3 or 1/4 of US spend and #1 life expectancy in 2019 vs like #30 something for the US.
No, it is because there is a tension between them and enough people acting in poor faith on each side to enable that tension to undermine the people's decision.

The results should be delivered.
It does require courage and even confidence but not of the masculine type. When a female exposes herself she receives an abundance of emotional support so there isn't much courage needed, just a little bit. So is easier for a female to feel confident about doing it. But if people see that you are a strong guy, then is natural for them to expect to "man up" and support yourself instead of elaborating victimist narratives. People want you to be a strong guy. Females and males. They expect it so badly that they will test that you genuinely are with jokes or challenges that if you are not psychologically strong, those can be felt like downplaying you. It feels that way because they are testing how strong your foundation is.
And whatever you make of this, nothing changes the fact that weakness is profoundly unattractive and stregth is very attractive.
The last Nexus phone was made in 2015, and they were known for being bad (bootloop). There are tons of really solid Android phones that work for years. Even the cheap chinese ones from unknown brands are solid these days. I also replace them only because I broke the screen.

With Android you have a choice of the specs - bigger battery, better camera, tough build, fast charging. With the iPhone you get an average meh for not so average price.
Your interviewing them but in this case it was a pointless question asked at the wrong time with no possibility of anything of value coming from it.

This place uses php. It's in the job description (either that or the parent had no knowledge of what the company did before the interview) so the discovery should have happened earlier in the process.

By asking that question in that way the parent poster is signaling that he is modern but at the same time saying the company isn't modern by phrasing it that way. Wanting to understand how a company makes decisions is valid. Making judgement statements through questions is not valid.

And yes misunderstood company for technical debt reference.
Agree. I think two things are clear to me - management benefits from decisiveness to a greater degree than accuracy. the Try/fail loop is better than the wait/see loop.

The other thing that management benefits from is information asymmetry. the little details from a lot of different parts of the companies do roll up to a good manager, these in turn roll up even higher. Each group may be clamoring for different changes, but a good executive can see the pattern of needs emerge and pinpoint a root cause.

It goes without saying that not all executives are good at all things. They're still people.
I'm not sure how to respond without repeating myself.

Those are nullification criteria to be established before the vote, not after it doesn't go your way.

The decision was made, it just needs to be delivered. I agree it has taken far too long to do so.
Exactly, arbitration can be the starting point but making it the only possible action is just crazy and MUST be illegal

Furthermore, it is bad business to hide behind any clause, period. They could just call them, tell them that there was a minor accident and that they can have the car with 5% discount. I'm pretty sure if they didn't agree there would be plenty more people buying the car with such a discount and a fixed fender bender damage

Arguably, this is not clickbait. Many define 'clickbait' as a lead that is characteristically deceptive, misleading, or exaggerated.

I'd argue this is simply a teaser, as the article certainly delivers on its promise of a 'secret'. If anything, 'secret' is understated.
Let's play out this scenario. Someone has to take your phone without you knowing and load some exfil software. This requires focused targeting of people who are not most users. Heads of state, journalists, etc... would just reboot the phone anytime it leaves their possession. Additionally, those users are who are likely targets would just get a newer phone.

The reality is that right now, Checkm8 is great for jailbreakers of older phones and not much else.
> the tint still comes out in their skin when they are cold or flush with anger.

It's a bit hard to admit, but I'm really disappointed there isn't a picture of this.
So somebody could make a battery case that also jailbreaks your phone (if you trigger DFU mode)?
> It is the managed infrastructure. Outage? You can keep sleeping.

I don't think an outage in a third party service I've depended on has ever allowed me to keep sleeping. In reality, I've been awake, dealing with outage fallout, keeping up to date on status updates, and overall just feeling in the dark, unable to improve the situation for my customers.

That's not saying that depending on a third party service isn't sometimes the right move, but "I get to sleep when there's a problem" isn't a consideration there. The pager still goes off.
Incredibly late reply.

I agree with your concern about "toxic masculinity". However, I think creating a positive term to coexist with it is unhelpful.

Being masculine is always a good thing. When I was young, I was taught a certain set of things about being a man. Yes, masculinity implies strength. (Not necessarily physical!) However, abuse of that strength is not masculine.

Creating a term like "altruistic masculinity" implies that masculinity is a neutral thing that can be good or bad.

It’s the same mistake made by both tech companies and grandmas — that “engagement” == “value”. People who spend more time on sites, and kids who spend more time on iPads, does not make them experts in tech; just their ability to consume.

Please don't make these "Potential improvements"

- use SSL pinning.

- block different GMail emails from the same Google user.

- prevent different users from using the same credit card.

These are user hostile. I see no legitimate reason to do so. Though limiting coupon use with same base email/card/.. is reasonable.

- require more information than just an email address.

Maybe you need to (e.g. theft) but coupon reuse prevention is overreaching.

- don't email the promo codes in plain text. ... It could also be built as a deep link into the app

Is this assuming iOS use and opening the mail on the phone?

EDIT:

If you disagree, please state the reason.

To elaborate:

Paying for your kid, spouse or friend from a single card seems reasonable. Not everyone has lots of cards.

As for email canonicalization: What if you lose access to your account, want one for kids, separating work/personal .. don't do it by default unless you do have a good reason. You're just adding minor inconveniences and possibly serious vulnerabilities (using random email forwarders along with typical email password resets).

Certificate pinning to deny user access - your APIs should be secured by making them secure and it will actually work. Data itself (also) belongs to the user, not (only) to the service provider. Some may disagree, but laws in some countries state so.

I like Chrome's approach to DoH. If the local DNS server is capable of DoH, then, and only then, Chrome switches to DoH. It is the safest choice to make, since if you are querying that name server, they have your data anyway, so you might as well encrypt it in transit.
I have been meaning to play around with Elixir, Phoenix and LiveView for a while, it seems like it could replace client-side JS frameworks (e.g. React) for many use cases, especially the ones that already fully use server-side rendering.

Has anybody with lots of React experience made that switch? How is it going?
The solution here is simple: abandon intellectual slavery laws. They don’t do anyone any good except the 1%. Look at the richest amongst us, a sizable majority are rich because of IS laws. Forcing poor people the world over to pay artificially high prices for intellectual goods, by threat of force, is a form of slavery, poor and simple. Anyone who says they will stop making new ideas if they don’t get artificially inflated remuneration for that: good riddance! We don’t need talentless hacks like them.
I don't know about free software, but I suspect there will still be a lot of people releasing code under open source licenses, including most developers working for companies.

Maybe there should be a standard license for non-commercial source code, but that could be called a "source available" license.
