I was just wondering about this yesterday. People were noting the reticence by ESPN (owned by Disney) in commenting on the China-NBA drama and assumed it was due to embedded financial interests. Seems like it would be relatively easy to create an association between, say Mickey, and the unrest in Hong Kong, or Taiwan, or something of that nature. And then China is forced to either allow the messaging to exist, or they crackdown and now Disney's interests are less aligned with China's.

I'm very curious to see if this kind of strategy is effective or starts to become commonplace.

RSA SecurID is not a smartcard. It's basically equivalent to TOTP except as a physical object rather than a phone app. There's secret baked into the SecurID and the issuer knows that secret so they can use it to generate the same one time code.

You seem to imagine that your phone, on which you run most likely not only a wild variety of apps from potentially untrustworthy sources, but also a web browser, which is a huge attack surface facing the Internet, is more secure than a simple smart card and that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

In both cases the main real world security is that bad guys will probably need to _steal them_ which is difficult and a completely different skillset from the skills to make phishing emails or lie on the phone. But the phone is a bit worse here because maybe they can attack that remotely via, as I mentioned, your web browser, instant messaging stack or other components of a very complicated device.
I watched the whole thing and it was fantastic. Professor Buzzard is an excellent presenter. I downloaded Lean and started playing around with it after this lecture.
Certainly they still will.

Though in the past it may not be as private as you might think...the United States Senate has spittoons spread across the Senate Chamber as they are considered a Senate tradition. That tradition consisted of the Senators getting so drunk during sessions they used to throw up in those spittoons as they were deciding the fate of the plebs.
That is not what is traditionally referred to as arbitrage. You are betting on an unknown variable (correct discount), not noticing pricing for the same asset being different in the same moment. Arbitrage is “sugar being sold at $2 at shop A, and bought at $3 at shop B, and the shops are next to one another”
GO is always listed as popular, but if I search my entire country for GO jobs there isn’t a single one. Well, there is one single listing, but that’s for a C/C++ job at Google, and it’s listed under “Nice to know” along with Rust and a few others.

Are we behind the curve?

But a scientific article is not an exercise in argumentation. The main purpose of citations is to guide readers who are new to the field, give credit to readers who are experienced in the field (indeed, many criticisms of an introduction or discussion from reviewers amount to "wtf you didn't cite that paper I wrote"), or contrast with previous results. It's not "here's why I'm right" but "here's how existing stuff relates to what I've found". The tone is much less assertive. Scientists are not a very assertive bunch in general.
They say the generic rule of thumb here is urgency. If you can't take your time, it's a scam. I was previously scammed several times with urgency, but as a rhetoric trick under a premise of impatience.
It's also worth noting that the reason to prefer diesel over gasoline is fuel efficiency. Diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline ones. Engines that run hotter are also more efficient - but the hotter your engine runs, the more NOx it produces.

Catalytic converter a pull most of the NOx out of a gasoline engine's exhaust, but don't work on diesels. Urea traps are an alternative, but an expensive one.
Thanks for reminding everybody that corporations are authoritarian regimes and that workers are expected to check their human rights at the door.
What is your country, out of curiosity?
He'd look weaker in his own mind, which is where the issue lies. Oh, sure, you and I would lean into it because we're so confident in ourselves. Dude, you think you've got imposter syndrome because JavaScript is hard? Trying running a whole fucking country of 1 billion people, with opportunities at every turn to screw the whole thing up. (Seems there's an obvious solution to that whole "sparrows eating our crops" thing, amirite?) He knows he has critics, and deep down inside knows that they might have a point at times.

I'm beginning to ramble. Point is, leaders despite their bluster are not nearly as confident in themselves as they portray. I mean, I know none of them personally, but I can't imagine that they don't suffer the same foibles as the rest of us. Or worse, such as ego. Your ego would allow you to wear a Pooh shirt. His does not. That's kinda sad. (More sad that we let such people run countries, but I digress.)

On iOS you can choose whether to allow or block repeated calls, but as far as I can tell it's an all or nothing toggle. If it's enabled, anyone can get through by calling twice.

The author wrote: "Evolution is driven by random mutations - mistakes, not plans." But...plans are often mistaken or go awry and random mutations are not actually mistakes as there is no plan. But to note, Elon has really been a driver to push space tech forward so it does take people to decide to do this, but zooming way back, there does seem to be an overall pattern of building things on top of other things and so forth, creating an ever increasing complex solution that enables humans to do more than ever before.
Used to happen to me in New York 15 years ago. Hasn't happened since, though.
Your switches/keycaps must be kind of crappy if there's that much wear on them from typing the same thing often
In my experience, this is a pie in the sky dream - orchestrating dropdown loading and lazy loading becomes challegning. Dependencies between inputs become impossible (if this field is filled [or set to value x], show this section of the form, if this field is of value x, only allow values of a, b or c in field y).

Not only this, but I think generally when a backend change happens you want to be aware of it (and fail early, probably in the test/integration phase!) - leaving it potentially as late as runtime could be devastating.

For very basic forms generation from a model is fine, but I think it hits its limits pretty quickly. Imo generating a model from a schema is an okay halfway house.

Regardless, this tool seems pretty nice, and could save me a little boiler plate!
...nobody is saying this.
No they just enter lower power states and keep everything in RAM. I don't even have a swap and it works fine.
Investment trusts themselves are publicly traded, they're closed-ended funds with capital raised once on launch - sort of like pooling private equity, but you can then sell your stake.

The public listing is of the company, whose business happens to be investing, so though I've never looked I don't see why CFDs & derivatives wouldn't be available.

Venture Capital Trusts (VCTs) are similar (perhaps a subset?) but focus on earlier stage companies (clearly) in exchange for a tax advantage for the initial investors - but not for those who subsequently purchase shares in the VCT itself from them.

Ask HN: How to avoid facial recognition in Hong Kong?
I just saw a pretty ingenious tactic for avoiding facial recognition (https://twitter.com/LeeMifsud/status/1180605558992318465). Hypothetically speaking what other tools or tactics would be useful to avoid facial recognition?
There is selection for obfuscation. Sound smart and technical and the reviewers will give it a pass because they are too embarrassed not to call out what they don’t understand. Make it easy to read and it’s easy to see the problems.
> it is essentially a domestic dispute, the Chinese civil war

Well surely it was as the civil war is 70 years over, since the fall of Hainan. There would be many decades of martial law before the democratic reforms. So it wasn't about what Taiwanese citizens then wanted.

Who is definitively right? I have no doubt it will remain a sticking point in relations between Taiwan and PRC for decades to come. It seems unlikely that Taiwan and CCP will reach amicable agreement.
Go is certainly somewhat popular in the US, but imo the language isn't well suited for all tasks.
This is the argument I've made to people over the last few years, and I think is far better and more substantial then the technical based ones that so typically come up (and have in the comments here already, the whole "well a key will of course leak thing"). It's risky and unnecessary to go to technical arguments for something that's a moral matter, because technology changes. If you base your entire opposition around the key, what if at some point someone does have an entirely formally verified stack and strong measures and can reasonably argue that keys aren't going to leak? Apple's master key for example, it becoming available would be an enormous thing for both criminals and ordinary owners of iOS devices. Yet while there have been plenty of flaws that have been exploited to bypass a need for it, the private root key remains unleaked.

The real question that I would want to see some Congress person put to agencies is

>"Do you believe there should be any inherent limits at all? If we developed the technology someday to read people's minds, should it be permissible to go through their brains with a warrant? It would certainly let you find the guilty of some 'crimes', where for 'crimes' we should keep in mind that gay sex and interracial relations were felonies in the near past."

I mean that's the real thing, if security agencies could root through people's brains I see no need to beat around the bush that likely at least a few truly horrific crimes would be stopped or solved. There would be children saved, terrorists stopped, murderers caught. But I think not just the abuse of it, but even the use of it to eliminate any gray area for a human society would be so horrific that it's just plain not worth it. That yes, some children will be abused/kill, some murderers will escape, some terrorists succeed, and that really is the price we need to pay. That we should try to reduce it as much as possible but only in opposition to strong privacy and an inviolable personal sphere. And that should include artificial augmentations to our minds, which typical mobile devices are already arguably at the point of.

The incentive structures right now for law enforcement agencies and intel agencies remains geared always towards more more more, and paying attention to singular big harms rather then small harms across enormous swaths of the population. It hasn't evolved much from decades and centuries in the past arguably. I think that's the ground to fight on though, will they argue that total erasure of the private sphere is worth it? Will the public agree? I think the answer is no, and with that established it's a lot easier to argue back against "think of the children/terrorists/drugs" typical attack.
I’ve been using this for the past few weeks and I’m very happy with it. I really appreciate the minimalism. It’s easy to have schema driven forms and uncontrolled inputs with this library because it doesn’t have many constraints.

Also, maybe it’s because of hooks, but it feels like less code than usual is required for forms. I once built a massive “multi page questionnaire with conditional logic” feature, using a superset of json schema and a wrapper around react-json-schema-form (the Mozilla one). That was two years ago and a LOT of code (I used a singleton controller to parse local updates and merge them into a global schema). If I had hooks and this library available then, it would have been significantly less code.
A rover scammer called my wife yesterday. She felt pretty quick that it was a scam.

I tried to call the number back from my phone (it was seemingly a regular local phone number in the LA area and I love fucking with scammers) and an automated response told me that “no Rover account could be found for my number, please visit Rover.com/help for more” which I thought was very sophisticated of them to really try and prove authenticity.

So then we called it back, from her phone, and it connected right away. The person on the other end said, “Ashley?” and I responded (in my non-female voice, not that there aren’t many men named Ashley) “yes, hello, how are you?” - they hung up immediately.

Ultimately my wife called Rover via their 1-800 number and it was indeed a scam. People try to ascertain your login creds to redirect funds. Basic stuff... but I was impressed at whatever basic twilio system was built to try and mask the scamminess with that automated message.
> Just because they aren't perfect doesn't mean they don't make your car safer.

Sure it can. If "drivers" rely on this instead of being vigilant themselves, then it absolutely does make the car less safe.
I think it might be harder to do with Disney because they’re so diversified. Banning any one franchise is a tiny drop in the bucket for them. Blizzard, though, relies on just a handful of IPs for all its income. Losing one would be a massive hit to its China market.
If you simply played the game, you wouldn't know or care that the gays infiltrated it. You didn't play it because you researched a reason to not play it, and that reason just so happens to be homophobia.
The censors aren't smart enough to realize that this whole thing with the NBA makes China look like a bunch of five year olds to the rest of the world so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
I had a password for an old school system (which I wrote) that was "any 21 characters where the 21st character is a 'z'". People would watch me type it (mashing 20 keys then the 'z') and be amazed I could remember a password that long.
wow CCP shills even on hackernews
You’re describing and absolute failure of the ABS system.

In that scenario, braking hard enough to engage ABS at all is the failure. It is not a failure on ABS's part unless you consider all ABS faulty. Some loss of yaw control is inevitable whenever ABS is engaged. ABS only gives better yaw control than completely locking the wheels.
Seattle had horrible air quality problems for the past two years, because of the wildfires burning in Washington and BC.

Usually, winds carry that smoke into Idaho, but due to abnormal weather patterns, all that smoke was carried into Seattle and Vancouver.
My brother used to use asdfghjkl;' as a password so he could just drag his finger across the keyboard from the a key to the enter key. The original swipe to unlock!

Sandra Boynton’s 'Dinosnores' Wasn’t Easy to Write
Something nearly exactly the same happened to me. It was through my Venmo account. I was stressed at the end of a long day and they got pretty far before I realized what happened. The key thing is that the number listed on Caller ID on my Android phone came from "Venmo" and matched their customer service number so I completely let my guard down. Embarrassing.
One of the side-effects of using "human centered language" tends to be needless verbosity and resulting clumsy writing as the human being writing the piece of writing labors to appropriately center the human being or human beings being discussed.
If I could understand this article I think I would violently disagree.
Games have been political for as long as games have had stories. It's just that in 1981 killing nazis in Wolfenstein was a completely non-controversial topic. We fought in WWII. Shooting nazis is the American thing to do.

Bioshock? Fallout? The worlds portrayed in those are intensely political topics.

But the "keep politics out of my games!" crowd only shows up when it turns out one of the characters is gay.
I did my undergrad at Imperial. My first lecture was supposed to be with Prof. Liebeck. Kevin came in and wrote on the blackboard: "Lemma 1 - I am not professor Liebeck". He was wearing his (I think typical) trousers. I never interacted with him personally but I did look at his Wikipedia page once. He was the top student in his undergraduate class (Mathematics) at Cambridge. Very impressive to a mere mortal like me.

I once played with Lean but found the tutorial not very approachable. It took an hour of reading through abstract explanations until it finally explained the idea how it works. Essentially, true statements are expressions that pass the "type check" of a compiler. A function taking type A as param and returning type B is an implication A->B. To prove this implication, you need to find a function implementation that passes the corresponding type checks. This is what I would have wanted the tutorial to say at the start.
It's "supported" by some people, but it's not ready for prime time, and never will be.

So you're saying that if I get access to your current keyboard or any of your former ones, I can get all of the keys used in typing your master password just by looking at the wear pattern? Hey, thanks for the tip!
Context is everything, and I think your example only highlights how unhelpful it is to specify that q2-q4 is the beginning of the closed game.

I think most English speakers would agree that Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities is a notable outlier of what is expected after "It was the best of times." That's the exact work of literature that popularized the phrase.

By contrast, mention q2-q4 to any "chess speaker" and they won't be specifically prompted to think of the closed game at all.
I don't know for sure, but these Radeon GPUs are power hungry and hot. It could be just that after multiple days the entire computer is heat soaked and goes through more thermal throttling than even the "steady state" GPU tests that most gamers do (a few hours).

It might also be cruft building up over time with small memory leaks or imperfect memory management.
This is really an asymmetric authentication problem. The bank has ways of authenticating that it’s you talking, but do you have ways of authenticating that it’s really the bank?
How did they crack it in 4 days if ”a 7-bit exhaustive search would still take over 2 years on a modern GPU”? Is that overstating it?

Front-end has gone completely off the deep end. I'm looking at the source code and there must be 4 or 5 dozen modules, totally 5.1kb gzipped! And as far as I can tell all it does is copy el.value onto an object.

You'd be much better advised to just go straight to the source and read Nietzsche, especially as he's one of the most readable, entertaining, and interesting philosophers ever.
