You would need to do either static or dynamic bounds checking when accessing memory via these capabilities. You obviously can't just give arbitrary code a pointer and let it read however far it wants past the end of it.

Given that most code in Rust is safe code and includes bounds checks before access, you should be able to have the verifier rely on those when they exist, and add in bounds checks in cases in which the access is not protected by a bounds check.

Maybe that would be intractable, or to inefficient to be worth it with all of the extra bounds checks. I'm not sure. I'm asking because it's something that I feel should be possible, but I haven't been involved in the research or development, so I'm wondering if those who have been more involved have references to discussion about the topic.

What you described is basically how it works. Getting a license to drive a taxi requires just a commerical endorsement: https://dmv.ny.gov/driver-license/get-license-drive-taxi-or-.... It's the vehicle itself that requires the medallion.

If you want to argue with the phrase "protect the public," that's fine. The point is that, pre-smartphones, the medallion system ensures a functioning system, a modicum of safety, no fare surprises. It was not intended to produce the _lowest possible fares_ for riders.
> The money that they’re not paying into the unemployment and disability systems is being picked up by the states and the taxpayers.

Isn't it true that independent contractors are not eligible for unemployment or disability claims?

Yes that's true.

Given that, it is false that the "cost" is being picked up by others, because there is no cost here.

And given that the state is seeking retroactive reimbursement for past years, all independent contractors in the state who worked at this during this time period should be retroactively reimbursed for times of unemployment and for disability issues. Odd the state's not offering that.
I think "just works" is way overblown. My friend just got a new iPhone 11 upgrading from 6s. FaceId is great, but you HAVE to swipe up after you unlock. There is no option, no setting to just jump to the home screen. Does it "just work"? I guess if that's the definition of working. It's been just a week and she is can't live with it.

Other "just works" - always deep link to Apple Maps, Safari and other Apple apps. How is this still a thing in a "Pro" phone?

Honestly I have been considering iPhone because of the longevity of their devices now that cameras have caught up with Pixels and added battery capacities but I can't deal with this locked down, spoon fed version of an OS. I think iPhone "just works" the way Apple wants and not how the user wants.

There is no value in striving to be free from sex trafficking if the measures you take actually do nothing to prevent sex trafficking but instead infringe on the freedom of consenting adults.

Sex trafficking is an excuse. The real reason is puritanism.

A key aspect that this misses is the target audience. The general public is not the target of most scientific visualizations. Instead, it's other scientists in the field. There are invariably lots of conventions and general historical trends that it's important to follow to communicate clearly.

For example, in seismology high sonic velocities are always shown in blue/cool colors and low sonic velocities are always shown in red/warm colors. This is non-ideal for colorblind users and confusing for other audiences (red != high value), but it's a near-universal convention. We can use a more perceptually uniform red to blue colormap, but keeping the warm/cool convention is very important.

If your audience is used to seeing a certain type data in a particular way, you'll confuse people if you don't follow that convention. Clear labels and legends are great, but people follow convention first, labels second.

When the goal is clear communication, following established convention is much more important than making a "better" visualization. That's not to say that these guidelines aren't very important, just that it's vital to keep your audience's expectations in mind.

> "Scientists also tend to follow convention when it comes to how they display data, which perpetuates bad practices."

In my experience, scientists follow convention because it enables clear, consistent communication with other scientists in the field. Violating convention is okay, but should be done with utmost care and the knowledge that you'll need to spend more time explaining things.

I think that comment was in contrast to what they said about the fan:

> This option does apply a decent amount of cooling at idle and under load, it also moves the heat away from the board unlike the heatsink.

I think the comment makes sense with that context, compared to a fan, the heat from a heatsink will stay near the board and make future cooling less efficient.
`unsafe` is already very prevalent in the ecosystem and this is a big point of contention.

Sure you I wish that the state is in whatever it is that I prefer but thats unrealistic. As developer you have to be ready with whatever state you are in.

Sure, If there are only small number of browser or all of my user is not disabled, I would prefer that and my job will be easier but that is not realistic.

I have to be ready with whatever situation I've been dealt with. As developer my job is to solve problem and manage complexity. As a developer dealing with complex and hard problem is given.

In the end is the developer job to handle those issue so that in the perspective of the user, everything just works.

If I can't do that then I'm a failed developer.
Product Manager for Cloud Run for Anthos here.

Yes, your understanding is correct, though I can't comment on the price point. Note that there's a free trial of Cloud Run for Anthos available until May 2020.
Pretty sure Hong Kong police need warrants.
I tried a switch and the experience mostly went ok, for some funny reasons:

* Google apps (Calendar, Tasks, GBoard) really helped with the transition and were imo superior to the corresponding native apps

* Used Outlook for mail to ensure that I still got push notifications for imap accounts (vs. polling on the native Mail app)

* Used Resilio Sync to bring my ebooks over to the device vs. pfaffing about with cloud storage

* Was able to find good free apps for ssh and otp

* I appreciated the fact that incognito on Safari appears to have per-tab isolation

It took me a lot of struggling to get the device working as I wanted, so hopefully it helps you somewhat.
Cloud providers can provide all sorts of services. Who says they are just selling dumb storage services?

If you use Office 365, they process your data to do analytics. Some they expose to you (Delve, MyAnalytics), others they don’t.

In government, they do even more. Medicaid systems are usually run by third parties, who also sell services to providers to optimize billing.

Replying here because the other is nested too deep.

You do realize that C# was itself Microsoft's replacement for C++ right? And that when C# was released it had it's own growing pains and long roll-out in spite of having the worlds biggest corporation pushing it.

Python as a language is far older than C# so it had a lot more baggage than C# does.
First of all, the 9900k doesn't cost half the money. Second, you can also buy a 3900x if you want 12 threads with similar ST characteristics and pricing closer to the 9900k. There are other options.

If you want to game @ 1080p and do mostly single threaded work (without parallelism), this CPU is not for you. If do a lot of single-threaded jobs in parallel (for example, gaming + being a server or gaming and streaming) or anything multi-threaded, this CPU destroys the 9900k, while being just a bit weaker when doing just one or two single-threaded tasks.
> My mistake, it's like saying there's a pathogen that makes you like rainbow bumper stickers.

you ought to read about toxoplasma if you think complex behavior resulting from pathogen infection is outside the realm of possibility. 'lisp' is not strictly accurate, but gay men cross-culturally tend to particular speech patterns, including over-enunciation of the letter s, even as children; this isn't universal but it's fairly common, and i can't think of a reason that it would result from sexual preference per se.

>He says that preferential male homosexuality has only been observed in humans and sheep. This is utter bullshit. Homosexuality has been observed in hundreds of species, including primates, mammals in general, birds, reptiles, and arthropods. This is not new research: over 450 species were known in 1999.

i looked this up and you skipped over an important qualification: he said "at the-few-percent level". you should really learn to read what you're replying to.
Most have penalties for repurchasing such as restocking and delivery fees that mean they still make good

That is before going into the psychological pressure applied to distributors to not "fail" by asking for a restock, and the incentive schemes that mean many distributors continue stocking up on unsold goods to maintain commission and reward levels
Thanks for the link, I was looking for something to read about this topic.
Here's a fun thing I just did with my RPI4. I've got "watch -n 1 vcgencmd measure_temp" running.

Equilibrium temp is arount 73C running a realtime website. Take a £2 coin and place it on the CPU. Temp drops 10C within seconds. I can get it under 60C by swapping a second coin. They stay pretty hot after you take them off. Also the equilibrium temp when you just leave the coin there seems to be a good few degrees less than with no coin. Possible the larger surface area helps remove the heat, just not as good as an actually designed heatsink.

" Equations describing plasma equilibria are derived from the total energy of the system. The MHD equilibrium is shown to hold even for systems where the magnetic field may locally vanish. Through conservation of helicity, confinement is shown to be intimately related to electromagnetic tension. For an axisymmetric device, the presence of a magnetic field or current circling the axis is shown to be destabilising. This provides a simple explanation for the poor performance of some devices for which MHD predicts stability"

there is a cadence between electric charge motion and magnetic flux, and a dynamic balance has to be manufactured.

the addendum describes the magnetic confinement of electrodes to be a source of instability in the reaction.
as well as providing a corrective factor for the mathematics, describing the theory.

The "need" for 5G was so the govt-backdoored telecom companies can put wireless transmitters in every single neighborhood, to achieve more granular control in mass surveillance for profit and for targeted harassment. The FCC-sponsored transmitters are interacting with every "smart" device they can reach and reporting everything back to HQ. They're probably busy brute-forcing everyone's wifi passwords while they're at it, because why wouldn't they? But maybe that's just crazy. Maybe in reality they're just the good guys who care about streamlining our movie watching experiences.
>Considering that a vast portion of the population still doesn't believe it's a huge problem, they really should explain why climate change is a big problem.

Actually, outside the US, Russia, and maybe a few other countries, the vast majority of the population believe the science and know it is urgent to take action.
So aside from your irrelevant comments about AVX2 being about even between the two parts, what is a reasonable explanation for the second chart on page 4 of the article, assuming you can bother yourself to go read it. Their analysis seems to be essentially that if the Intel part wasn't 300% faster, then the AMD part would be 15% faster. But it is a fact that the Intel part is really three times faster on this benchmark, because of AVX-512. The only reason to include the chart with AVX disabled is to fit the article into a prejudiced narrative.

> why don't wind turbines have more than one "wheel"

Which I take to mean more than one set of blades? In which case it's because they interfere with each other, and reduce the power generation possible in all surrounding turbines. Wind farms come with a minimum separation that is something like 5 or 10 blade diameters spacing, depending on prevailing winds. That spacing gives every turbine clear air free of induced eddy currents.

This is also why scaled down rooftop and urban wind generation doesn't really work - there are too many eddy currents such that generation becomes very intermittent.
Personal Services Income is great fun as a contractor (/s). Worth a read: https://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Personal-services-income/
Here is the thing. The word "partner" is legal velcro. Amazon does not want a judge to determine that you are a PARTNER of Amazon's in the legal sense of the word. Even calling it the "Amazon Partner Network" is profoundly stupid, IMHO.

Partner means a different thing in contract litigation than it does in casual English usage.
$1,500 covers high expected warranty costs, I think. First gen on something this different is going to have failures. Later when they understands what's needed better, we can expect a likely cost drop.

Absolutely true, but even if it were impossible to control the car via the connection (which seems doubtful given that these cars accept OTA software updates), there's still the issue of data collection and reporting.
How this works? They send btc and people use them. You're thinking in the old frame of reference: you don't need banks, legal entities or identities even to produce code. Who cares if it's recognized or not.
Yes except that breaks actual code, especially affecting mobile devices where wrapping can make it very difficult to follow.

The protocol is from 2008. None of the carriers were getting around to supporting it (since it's federates to AT&T and Verizon have to have their own servers that talk to each other), so Google is publishing a "universal profile" so Android can talk to Android at least. This is really just Google kicking the carriers kicking and screaming into 2010 level technology. As a standalone protocol, it's not great. As an upgrade to SMS it's long overdue.
And then you have to find a seller for BTC and deal with that hassle yourself.

Fusion over breakeven releases a boatload of ionizing radiation. So, it’s not exactly a safe thing to put on a lab bench. As even a single watt of power requires the kind of wall you put on a nuclear power plant.

As a rule of thumb, fusion is only really vastly better than fission once you turn it off.

That said, I agree there is likely something wrong with the design.

Toxo is the exception that proves the rule here. Toxo is perhaps the best known example of any parasite having human behavioral effects, yet the causal role of toxo is still not accepted, and what it's postulated to affect is pretty random: schizophrenia, car accidents, that sort of thing. That doesn't look like any kind of planned behavioral control which might affect toxo reproduction. It just looks like a parasite causing some damage post-infection. It's unclear if it even manages to replicate the mouse effect of making humans more attracted to cats (since we contract it mostly from cats, obvious confound). You certainly cannot compare its capabilities, in rodents or primates, to the astonishingly precise and complicated behaviors that insect parasites can orchestrate. And it's not like humans in the wild don't host plenty of parasites!
Interesting. On the rare occasion that I use a q-tip I've noticed my kitten would aggressively fish them out of the trash and chew on them.

That would certainly be a way for the foundation to go all Apple, with 3-4 different storage amount levels. I don't like it.

Caveat: I think it makes sense that all RPI5 boards (except the lite Compute Modules) would have like 8-16GB onboard flash, via eMMC. If it makes sense, economically speaking. I think it could. The SD card aspect of the RPI sucks in so many ways.

Presumably there's a reason that payment processors have straight up ban customers instead of increasing fees to cover costs? I mean different industries already have different risk profiles and fees.

Is it possible that a taller case with vents at bottom and top, plus a decent heat sink might provide enough convection to go fanless?
No offense but it shows you haven't actually used one. By default any notifications on the phone are locked down. I can see I got a text message but I can't see the info. If I look at the phone it shows who the text is from and the contents of the text (or whatever notification we're talking about). If I swipe up I can use the phone. This experience is so far above and beyond anything google has offered to date I don't even know where to begin.

Google is so far behind on faceID it's laughable. And this is coming from someone who switched from an iPhone 6 to a Pixel and stuck with google all the way until the Pixel 4. Sorry - the hardware is getting worse, not better. And the spying/data collection has become too much. When you've got a CIO that says he'd let any house guest know he's got devices recording them and would suggest anyone that has google devices in their house do the same - you lost me.
It's also suspicious that the page's title says $100 Million, and the headline says $75 Million. A bunch of the meta tags also say "$100" (without any "million").

Proof seems necessary when they obviously changed how much money they were saying they had by $25 million.
It doesn’t actually break code, it just wraps it on mobile devices differently. Make your window bigger (80 chars) if you want to see full lines. For mobile it’s still more readable than horizontal scrolling code.
I figured the notational confusion between the Hermitian transpose and the complex conjugate is kind of intentional, since moving from one side to the other of an inner product both conjugates scalars and is the adjoint of matrices, plus AA* is "real squaring" for both matrices and scalars.
