> you don't search for work you're already passionate about, you grow passion by doing meaningful work that is deeply rewarding.

And how does the work become "meaningful and deeply rewarding"? For some, it may come just from repetition. Others manage to abstract their occupation away and source the meaning and rewards from families and lifestyle their work supports. But there are people for whom this doesn't work, and this is where I believe the "passion" mindset comes from. A lot of jobs are not only not meaningful, they're net harmful to society. And most people don't get to choose what they're working on anyway, economic considerations make the choice for them. So there's a tension.
This was a crappy thing to do even though the reason it is crappy wasn't the case here?
Well, sort of. Fusion in thermonuclear bombs is primarily used as a neutron source, rather than as a significant percentage of the yield. If you want more yield then you want more fission, which needs more neutrons. You could have many fission-fusion stages stacked matroska style to make an arbitrarily large yield thermonuclear bomb. See: doomsday weapons. Also see: Edward Teller.
Data augmentation can have unwanted consequences. For example, horizontal or vertical flipping, what could be more harmless? You can still recognize stuff when it's upside-down, can't you? It's a great data augmentation... Unless, of course, your dataset happens to involve text or symbols in any way, such as the numbers '6' and '9', or left/right arrows in traffic signs, or such obscure letters as 'd' and 'b'.
That was the original impetus for nation-states. In those days, the big schism was between Catholic/Protestant, with each group feeling that the others' opinions would damn them to hell for eternity. They worked out a system where they could say "Okay, in your duchy, you can believe what you want and God will only damn you to hell, while in our duchy, we'll believe what we want and go to heaven."

The issues have changed a bit and a number of national boundaries aren't really reflective of the diversity of cultures within. Plus we now have truly global issues like Internet access, supply chains, and global warming. But perhaps this is indicative that we're in for a major reshuffling, and that existing national boundaries are going to collapse. We already have a political framework (federalism) for getting independent states to agree on matters that impact all of them while still being able to exercise their own discretion on local matters.
Yes, fully Japanese, and I can recommend it. I think it's the #2 subscription MMO at the moment, the recent expansion was very well received and there's been a big influx of 'WOW Refugees' but that's mostly because BFA didn't land well.

If anyone is prompted to try it then be aware that everything under ARR (up to level 50) is a real slog. The slower pace didn't bother me but makes some people quit before the good bits.
0.000001% odds are "unlikely", but across a sufficiently large number of attempts by a sufficiently large number of scientists over a sufficiently large number of years, something great is bound to be discovered.
> argue that existing decryption techniques are too slow and inconvenient I don't think that they would be satisfied with this solution

This goes to the heart of the real issue and argument that I think is more powerful ultimately, though it is harder to express.

Authorities argue that they are not getting anything new because they always used to have the ability to intercept phone calls, open mail etc. So they argue that interception of encrypted messaging is just "status quo". But it is NOT status quo, because being able to do it at large scale, using automation, sophisticated data analysis and with an overall order of magnitude less effort actually changes the fundamental nature of it altogether.

The powerful argument to me is to use a judo-style move where opponents of intercepted messaging actually embrace the "status-quo" argument but then use that to re-establish the same high threshold for that interception that used to exist.

For example, if the authorities want access to a specific communication stream, then they should have to involve the messaging provider and they should have to get a one-time key that is set to expire or scoped in some way to specific messages, and they should have to concede to limitations on how secretly that can be done. The most powerful argument of all is that anything that is more invasive will foster a huge ecosystem of end-to-end encrypted services. Encryption is ultimately mathematics and you can't stop people using it. The best you can hope for is to create something that is close enough to OK with everybody that the ecosystem doesn't grow because most people don't care.
You can replace the word virality and substitute "engagement", and I would argue that this is something most creators would want from their work. And what about a self-regulated platform like Hacker News? It appears to me to incentivize good content and, at its best, punish triviality. Again, how would we be having this discussion without it?
The alternative benefits nobody.

Google famously pulled out of China rather than censor, but that was just a PR move because they already were failing in China. I'd argue that censorship is an altogether different situation anyway.

Apple removing iCloud from China helps literally nobody. Chinese users don't have an alternative that isn't subject to the same Chinese laws. Any user that wishes to resort to less-than-legal alternatives can do so whether or not Apple provides iCloud services.

Ultimately this boils down to "should the Chinese court systems be able to decide when to hand data over to the Chinese government", because that's the effect of using a Chinese partner company to manage the iCloud data. For everyone else it's "should the US court systems be able to decide" instead, which honestly isn't all that much better.
Yes. The better way to phrase it would be that some angles are impossible to construct, and importantly that includes a trisection of some angles that can in fact be constructed.
All ciphers are also hashes.

Using chaining, encipherment of the last block is also a hash of the whole input.

Secure hashes are optimized for different characteristics than typical ciphers, but with enough headroom and time each can fill in for the other.

Of course some are not very good, for either use.

IMO the idea of a smart light switch makes more sense than a smart bulb.

If someone turn off the switch, you're stuck being unable to control that light until the switch is put back on, and you have to exclusively use an app to control it. The smart switch at least allow a parallel control of the light bulb without having to worry about turning off the switch by mistake or because a guest is unfamiliar with the system.
The phone is accurately recording the image, as well as the orientation. The bug happens when the EXIF information is stripped. Sure, phone apps could add an option to physically rotate the image, as a bug workaround, but it's not surprising that they don't do this.

> I bet that an old and badly designed Elm app would be just as bad to work with.

Not at all!

My company has used Elm since 2015, and I'd be happier maintaining our 4-year-old Elm code from before we knew what we were doing to any modern JS or TS project that's been built optimally according to any definition of JS/TS best practices you like.

I don't think that's an uncommon view among people who have used both Elm and JS/TS in production for a few months.

It's a pretty night and day difference in experience - that's why people who use Elm on the side for awhile so often end up valuing the opportunity to use it at work too.

If you're writing business logic in a modern programming language your code can almost certainly be proven to halt. Very few people are running around coding up the Collatz conjecture or feeding programs as input to themselves.
I was thinking the same thing. The only other thought was they were testing to see if our own procedures could detect the craft?

But then I would have expected the crews who saw it to be quickly hushed - not publicly talking about it.
I know that there is a profitable company whose people I have talked with, whose business is built on managing the data involved.

> Anyone know of any propulsion that would be associated with a temperature drop to the vehicle surface, along with optical distortion?

Check out my Reddit post, I go into greater detail on how these work.

In layman's terms, a vaccuum has been created around the skin of the craft. That vaccuum allows the craft to travel at speeds far beyond an SR-71. And, interestingly, allows them to travel underwater!

The US Navy patent doesn't describe a temperature differential, but it's possible that the absence of air (or water) around the skin of the craft is causing a temperature differential and the 'halo' that you see in the videos that were confirmed "authentic" by the Pentagon.

Check out the Navy's patent here : https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170313446A1/

a quote from it:

"An artificially generated high energy/high frequency electromagnetic field (such as the fields an HEEMFG can produce) can fulfill all three conditions simultaneously (especially in an accelerated vibration/rotation mode), when strongly interacting with the local vacuum energy state. These interactions are induced by the coupling of hyper-frequency axial rotation (spin) and hyper-frequency vibration (harmonic oscillations/abrupt pulsations) of electrically charged systems (high energy electromagnetic field generators), placed on the outside of the craft in strategic locations. [0024]

In this manner, local vacuum polarization, namely the coherence of vacuum fluctuations within the immediate proximity of the craft's surface (outside vacuum boundary) is achieved, allowing for ‘smooth sailing’ through the negative pressure (repulsive gravity) of the ‘void’ (the void within the vacuum). It may be stated that the void ‘sucks in’ the craft."
You're being way over dramatic. 99% of the time the unit makes sense and is the same for comparable products.
Nah, it's just up to you to justify the value of the asset when it forks. Frequently that's $0. If it's a meaningful fork, like BTC/BCH/BSV you could easily use the value at listing on the first exchange as the cost basis, as that's what everyone else will do in lieu of a 409(a) type valuation, which of course doesn't exist because crypto doesn't have intrinsic value. It just means more legwork for you. This is also addressed in A24 of the FAQ.

Thinking that numbers is all that matters is the same as valuing $$$ over morals, which is what this is all about.

Yes, a good defense against a charge of burglary would be not having stolen anything. In an imaginary perfect criminal justice system, charges/penalties are based on damage done. Less damage done is a lesser crime.

It is surprising, because it seems like such an obvious fix to the problem of stripped EXIF data. Couldn't be that hard to implement a user setting which tells the app to rotate the file itself before saving.

This is a major oversight for the companies who develop camera apps. The major ones even have whole teams dedicated to that single app.
Hey quickthrower2, I am working on that.

Thank you for your feedback.
It shouldn't be personal identifiable information. But PII asks what that information is, not what it should be. Given that people reuse passwords or put things like DOB in their passwords, a conservative classification should treat passwords as PII.

If a company is cracking passwords, it should stop that to protect IT from liability. Example: someone reuses a password, and an IT employee sees that during a cracking operation, and that person's account by chance is hacked, now that person can accuse IT of misusing the password.

Maybe those disclaimers will protect them, but it's always smarter to avoid liability entirely than rely on fine print that a court can disregard.

It might not be up to the app? If the phone has hardware-accelerated JPEG compression, then potentially the image will already be compressed in the 'wrong' orientation before the app gets its hands on it. So rotating the image data could involve re-compressing the image again, leading to quality loss. Or if you choose to get the raw sensor data instead, and rotate the data before doing the compression yourself, you might lose out on the hw acceleration entirely.

(I've not developed any camera apps, so this is just a guess!)
It's more fun when they limit you to X characters (no special characters!) while choosing the password but let you input any number of characters when logging in, and failing you when you typed too many.

I was also expelled for basically doing the exact same thing. Exploiting cached domain admin passwords for Novell via a local SAM file. NTLM hashing does something incredibly dumb for legacy purposes by splitting passwords longer than 7 letters into multiple hashes for the first 7 letters and the second 7 letters. We got caught because a kid left a flash drive with teachers passwords in a computer lab and when the teacher tried to find out who the drive belonged too, he found that kids homework and his own password.

You're right, the goodwill has been eroding for this lifelong fan. I adored Starcraft: Brood War, it was great to play online even over dial-up and relatively well balanced (though looking back I think that was mostly by accident) and as you say it had a great mod scene when you wanted to take a break from serious competition.

I didn't particularly like the shift to heroes, creeps, and semi-3D in Warcraft 3, but that's a personal opinion.

Then they hit me with Diablo 3 -> Starcraft 2 -> Hearthstone. Diablo 3's faults are well documented, it's apparently in a good place now but that ship has sailed for me. Starcraft 2 just didn't feel good to play for me. The snappy control and clean sprites of SC:BW was replaced with muddy 3D visuals and slow turning 3D models. And Hearthstone was fun, but they dialed up the RNG to entice casual players and make streams exciting. It got annoying to keep rolling the dice - both when opening packs and in the game (Dr Boom anyone?).

It took a while but eventually I realised their spark and magic was gone. They're just another AAA developer that I mostly ignore now.
You are absolutely right that there are not many sources from western media that can back up my statements, it is because they are not showing you the full picture. If you have a chance and patience to go through the list below, you would find that many of them was not even mentioned in any western media. It is true that not many of the footage below show how enforcement arrest protesters (which you may have already seen on mainstream western media). But my point is, the full picture is wider than you were told by the media.

>Passion should not be an ingredient or path to being a good employee or being a good citizen

Why ?

>Passion (I.e. suffering as it were),

If it something you passion about, its not suffering.
A disappointing essay which barely mentions Chauteaubriand's writing and dismisses it in a few words as "high-flown and formal". Yet his writing was his greatest contribution and was exactly the reason that Chauteabriand held such a great fascination for his contemporaries, for he founded a literary movement which shook the world of his time and whose echoes reverberate down to the present day: Romanticism.

The word "romantic" and "romanticism" has been trivialized today as synonymous with the sentimentality of Hallmark cards, yet the literary movement to which the term refers bears little resemblance to today's colloquial meaning. Instead, it was a mystical, nature-worshiping reaction against mechanization and the Enlightenment, which elevated the world of nature, the imagination, genius, and the supernatural.

Out of the seeds that Chauteaubriand planted grew the Gothic novel, and from there eventually the modern horror novel, to cite but one small influence. From the pen of Alexandre Dumas, another Romantic, came books like the Count of Monte Cristo, from which masked avengers like Batman and other superheroes eventually grew. The Surrealists with their fascination with dream and the irrational also had their root in the Romantics, and the Surrealists' influence thoroughly pervades contemporary culture, from surreal advertisements we see every single day to movies with dreamlike imagery to books and films that question reality.

None of this or the many, many other influences of Romanticism or what Romanticism even was is touched on by this essay, so in it Chateaubriand's contribution remains opaque, as does the value of his books, which are well worth reading for their awe-inspiring vistas of nature and their alienated protagonists, which in some ways prefigured much later existentialist heroes.

Pick your favorite tragic, tortured, brooding, rebellious, misunderstood, alienated anti-hero from contemporary fiction, film, anime, comic books, or music, and then read Chateaubriand and the other Romantics to see where their archetype, along with much else of contemporary culture, was forged.
The point is signaling that us, as consumers, cannot stand with and support a company or corporation that kisses China's ass to be allowed to keep sucking on that capitalist teat.

By contrast, 99.99% of writers earn either nothing or very little from their "passion", because approximately nobody has the time and interest to read all of their stuff. It's a terrible career choice that people should be dissuaded from more actively.

I would imagine it's the same or similar for all other "passion gigs".
