REMINDERS DATABASE UPGRADE SCENARIOS:

TL;DR: If you upgrade Reminders database (optional on iOS 13, you can also keep the old DB), don’t create reminders on non-upgraded databases.

There’s a scenario where after you upgrade Reminders database on an iOS 13 or Catalina device, you can create non-upgraded Reminders on a non-upgraded device Reminders db that will not exist on the upgraded Reminders dbs. If you then upgrade that one into new, those reminders are lost.

Here's what you can expect after you upgrade your reminders:

- iCloud reminders created on a device that's running earlier software are visible only on other devices running earlier software. When you update that device to the latest software, those new reminders will be lost when you open the Reminders app.

Snowden talked about this.

The US hold a big share of the electronic's intellectual property. Most of the tools used to design silicon chips are proprietary, and it would be trivial for the NSA to implant hardware backdoors without anybody knowing it, and it would be very difficult for the public to audit this hardware.

I think this is exactly why Huawei routers were not trustworthy.

Detecting malware is child's play, now if they want to not be detected, they need to target the hardware. Even if you know your hardware has a backdoor, it becomes too expensive or impossible to patch it.

Always wondered why wifi chips always used binary firmwares? Me too.
Do you really think any app developer would ask the users to download a dll from the web to make their app work? They would jusr bundle it like installers bundle the Java runtime or Windows apps bundle the compatible version of msvcrt32.dll
Yup. And add MITRE ATT&CK to that list
No not really, only when you observe the particle, the location is determined. ANd at this point it behaves like a localised single particle.
Could also be an issue with speaker placement. Most flat panel TVs have a speaker pointing down or backwards at the wall due to small bezel flat screen design.

How to Disagree Better
I think it's wrong to judge past generations for what they did. It's fine to judge policies (i.e. slavery, etc.)

We all live in our own contexts. Future generations might judge and harshly condemn us, maybe for things we don't find especially bad.

It's just wrong. Every generation has good people and bad people, let them be judged by their contemporaries.
>This speaks to a larger issue: if you write software for manipulating data as part of the production of a scientific paper, then the source code should be available for review as an attachment to that paper, and review of said code should be part of the peer review process in any reputable journal. Professional software engineers write bugs all the time that invalidate the correctness of their programs, never mind individuals whose primary job is research, not software.

Completely agreed, the source should be open (ideally FOSS) - but also, the software development should be conducted properly too. On a practical level, using version control and a code review mechanism (e.g. GitHub PRs) within the research group equivalent in rigorousness to what you'd see at a good practice software development shop in industry.

Clinical decisions are made off the back evidence published in peer-reviewed, respected journals. It would seem to me that serious software errors in this domain have the capability to contribute to grave patient consequences. Much more serious consequences than if I introduce a bug into a client project.

Yep, one of my friends was in the program for that. He was permitted to get a special edition i3 right when they launched in lieu of being able to buy the car off-lease.
Sadly, this is the opposite of the UK cultural attitude. Kids here learn that cleaning up is someone else’s responsibility. Littering becomes a habit from an early age.

Even compared to Americans, we are terrible litterers. You can see this in people’s behaviours in fast food restaurants: in the US (as in many other countries), customers will bin their food wrappers and return their tray when they leave. Even groups of kids will typically do this: it’s just habit. In the UK, typical customers will just leave their mess at the table when they leave. Cleaning is someone else’s job.

I was in Osaka this weekend and litter is everywhere. By far one of the dirtiest major cities I’ve seen in East Asia. In the city I live in in Japan, the rice fields are full of coffee cans, plastic bottles, and bento packaging thrown out from cars. Streets are covered in cigarette butts and somehow I see natto containers in the middle of nowhere. Going hiking, I see tea bottles and plastic bags from convenience stores all over the damn place.

Most parts of Tokyo and cities with tourism are generally clean because there are heavy cleanup operations. People are still littering just like everywhere else.

> Invisible dirt – germs and bacteria – are another source of concern. When people catch colds or flu, they wear surgical masks to avoid infecting other people.

But you’ll never catch people washing their hands and grandpas always pull down their mask to cough so as to not dirty it. I caught a news program during flu season last year telling people how to avoid the flu. Their recommendations? Keep your stomach wrapped and extra warm, and drink green tea since it cures influenza.
Because Chrome has 70% of the global market share, and web developers should know what their customers use?

It’s a real phenomenon. Most restaurants aren’t quite that high but there are a surprisingly large amount that are.

It's younger than PyTorch and TF, but feels cleaner and more expressive. It has a very nice autodiff implementation (based on https://github.com/HIPS/autograd) and performance is comparable to TF in my experience.
You should check out Michael Lewis's podcast "Against the Rules".. it discusses basically what happens when the referee'd in life are rigged. In 2008 it was the bond rating agencies whose fictitious A+ approvals on subprime loans cause the collapse. In 2000 it was an influx of capital due to low interest rates and lowered capital gains (The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997) that propped up companies with no revenues who pushed for IPOs. IPOs themselves were relatively underpriced (even though they were inherently worthless based on the fundamentals long term) which cause the pop phenomenon that I believe encouraged IPO investment to ride the wave. So in these cases where was the SEC? And what was the fiduciary duty of the underwriters? In all honestly today the tech IPO market kind of sucks because of all of this. It takes years and unicorn status to IPO which is a reversal and I think another problem.

How do you remember facts you have read? Do you remember facts from reading or listening? Vision is the fastest input into the brain compared to other senses.
I generally remember facts by remembering the image, for example some books I've read, I can tell you what page number, what side of the book and where on the page the information is but I can also tell you where I was standing when I read the book and sometimes the smells. Is that a clue as to how we remember? Websites are harder. Some information is irrelevant so I don't remember it, this could also be why some people don't learn at school if a kid has secret plans about their futures even from primary school age.
Thing is people remember all sorts of things that are pertinent to them, life changing events and when detailed questioning is applied they can tell you everything about the situation even smells. So what I wonder is this, do certain hormones have an effect on recall considering the fight or flight phenomena? The Police also know witness statements can be unreliable because people switch off on repetition like driving to work, it becomes an almost unconscious task, so does this also back up the possibility that stressful environments can heighten learning? Do Neurologists sample hormones when putting people into a MRI scanner? Not in my limited experience.

Normally, one might make the charitable assumption that an organization with a name like "Atomic Science and Security Board" does something other than spout political messages. It seems plausible that they might be a body of experts assessing the relationship between the world's nuclear powers and communicating their analysis through an easy to understand metaphor. Unfortunately, they chose a metaphor that holds them accountable, and now that they're run out of metaphorical hours and minutes with which to communicate deterioration in the situation, they make a mockery of themselves with every press release.

The situation is grave, but the Doomsday Clock is a joke.

I think it's worth noting that all of Japan isn't as clean as many of the cities are. A lot of people's homes are still rather dusty and when I visited in 2012 the outskirts of Osaka and the countryside looked pretty similar to Europe in terms of how much trash there was in the ditches next to the road.

The cities were noticeably cleaner than Swedish cities though, a lot fewer chewing gums and cigarette butts from what I remember.
That makes way more sense!
I joined a biotech as employee ~70, and after 5 years of growth (up to ~800 people) we went public. Nothing really changed. It's interesting how the large amount of private capital has removed the need to go public very early on in the life-cycle of a biotech. The biggest difference is that people spend more time worrying about the stock price, but there are a number of catalytic events in our future that everyone is kind of holding their breath for so it's still kind of funny money. Compared to a tech start-up, where growth is smoother (i.e., number of active users going up), biotech lurches/jerks forward after key clinical events. Be it actual data or governmental decisions on the data. The other thing that changed was the incorporate of more rigid corporate practices like HR stuff. Everything got more serious.
> I was in Osaka this weekend and litter is everywhere

While I generally agree, the funny part about this is that it’s not uncommon in Japan for people to refer to people from Osaka as being “not Japanese.”
Horse Archery was a common martial technique which predicates the mongols (Its way ancient), and during the mongol period it was practiced by a lot of civs, both allies and enemies of the mongols.

You don't even need fake chips. Many servers come with out of band remote management. Some of them even hijack the built-in Ethernet port. Even many Intel CPUs have it built in. You can get by with just a software hack. Bundling a reverse telnet or similar would likely be trivial if you had access to the manufacturer.

True. Japanese people outside of Osaka generally disown Osaka.

They also completely disown their litter. It’s always foreigners, even if it’s natto boxes.
that's very fascinating, as someone who has only experienced Tokyo, I was amazed with how clean it was compared to other Eastern Asian cities (I lived in Shanghai). Wouldn't have guessed it was a bit of smoke and mirrors.
This is what I resorted to on one of our internal tools that wants a phone number to be entered and kept getting auto-completed with our staff'S phone numbers.

I wouldn't recommend it for public use. There's a lot of subtle behaviour around an input field that you'd need to replicate manually.

The latter does not constitute even knowledge, just memory.
It's even worse. The second Borel–Cantelli lemma shows that if the marginal risk of an event (per time unit) doesn't decrease to zero at a fast enough rate, there's absolute certainty it will occur. (strictly speaking, an infinite number of times in an infinite sequence).
“Self-host” is such a weird word. Having your own stuff yourself should be the default, should it not? I mean, you don’t “self-drive” your car, nor “self-work” your job. The corresponding words instead exists for the opposites: You can have a chauffeur and you can outsource your job.

I think the problem is entirely caused by the US having absolutely abysmal private internet speeds and capacity. Since you can’t then have your own server at home, you are forced to have it elsewhere with sensible internet connections.

It’s as if, in an alternate reality, no private residences had parking space for cars; no garages, no street parking. Everyone would be forced to either use public transport, taxis and chauffeur services to get anywhere. Having a private vehicle would be an expensive hobby for the rich and/or enthusiasts, just like having a personal server is in our world.
Yes and no?

This type of reasoning can be extended to any high-level tool. " Does no one writes there own OS. I don't understand the need for Linux or windows. I honestly thought windows or linux was nothing but a tool for undergrads to use Excel or host a WordPress site". And this is not a caricature of your argument. There is a lot of stuff under the hood that Tensorflow or Pytorch implement for a programmer. So much so that people have written wrapper for using TF or Pytorch to even further abstract the working of the library. Implementing deeplearning architecture is less of a science and more of a "let me try this or that" and iterating ideas quickly if of the utmost importance. Also, I can implement a neural network in C (CUDA) although not the auto diff part, but I could if given time to research) but if I started implementing my own library, it would take an order (or even more) of magnitude more time to do the stuff I do daily. We don't need to reinvent the wheel here guys.

I've read that it's possible to exploit meltdown or spectre just with javascript. Apparely it's now patched with most browsers.

Other than js, am I right to think it's still a difficult vulnerability to exploit since you need to execute code on a target machine? It seems to be bad news for cloud techs, but not for users.

Their death directly lead to the other events which lead to other events. You can always blame the fate if death was natural, but if some other party was involved, that party directly played god with their actions and ruined someone else's life trajectory and thus their descendants life trajectory. And now you find out that the descendants of the murderers are proud of their heritage and hero worship at the expanse of you.
Now they need to ban intercepting/blocking `onpaste` in form fields.

No, it does not have its uses in those scenarios. Every website with login could be used in such a scenario, in an internet cafe for example. It's not on the web developer to predict this, it's on the terminal to prevent that issue.

It has its uses in some very limited scenarios, like a password field in a blog editor that when set locks the article for users not knowing the password. But that's not a login screen.

Me picking a bad password was absolutely caused by this misuse of autocomplete=off, it had everything to do with it. How can you claim otherwise? I was there, you were not.

The LastPass on is especially horrific because it fills in fields that are already filled, and it fires a change event. So if you're auto-saving on a change event, that data is lost as soon as the page is loaded.
Thanks, and someone else posted [1] so now I could look for more info on it!

I'm now extremely curious -- what do noise-cancelling headphones do for you? You can see here [2] that Bose's QC35's reduce the lowest frequencies (down to 20 Hz) by between 10 and 30 dB -- and the Wikipedia link suggests that the Hum is in the range of 32-80 Hz, so is certainly covered.

If they make a difference, that could indicate that you truly do have a kind of extreme sensitivity there, while if they don't, it could be another (real but non-auditory) phenomenon that your ear/brain is interpreting as sound, e.g. tinnitus.

Webvan today is Instacart. FB is very valuable. Hindsight is 20:20. I think companies stay private longer to ride out the market not being ready for them long term. But maybe Uber waited too long.

"Consider Facebook, the popular but financially unproven social network, which is reportedly being valued by investors at up to $15 billion. That is nearly half the value of Yahoo, a company with 38 times the number of employees and, based on estimates of Facebook’s income, 32 times the revenue."

Except Shibuya, we walked there yesterday after the typhoon and had to avoid the big rats that normally live in the big trash piles, probably they were looking for food since yday there was no trash. I've seen similar situation with crows.

This is a mostly invisible issue for tourists since trash collection happens in the morning and people take the trash out the night before, so the piles of trash and animals are visible at night mostly.

And they then enter the convinis (warning, gross rats inside convini):

If you think late rendering or "display:none" will put Chrome off, think again! The anvil.works IDE is Angular, so it's all rendered post-loading, and Chrome still autofills the weirdest things. Relentlessly.

Search boxes? Sure! App titles? Yeah, one week a bunch of our users' apps got renamed to the author's email address.

Being an IDE, of course, there are lots of places where inserting random text will break things. When I open up the console and see it filled with "'meredydd@anvil.works' is not a valid Python identifier"? That's the signal to go hunting for which dynamically-generated off-screen text box Chrome is stuffing credentials into this week.

TL;DR Chrome's autofill is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It does not feel pity or remorse. And it will not stop.
