There is not currently a Free Trade Agreement between China and the Faroese Islands. But the Faroese Islands and Greenland have been hoping for a free trade agreement with China each, outside of one Denmark proper may have with China through the EU. (Note: Neither Greenland nor the Faroese Islands are part of the EU.)

Although it is possible, that the Faroese and the Greenlandic may consider the value of the Kingdom of Denmark that they are part of more valuable in face of being pressured. China pressuring the Faroese, the US considering purchasing Greenland. Both partly the result of a Kingdom of Denmark being run on autopilot by successive Danish governments. I'd imagine both getting extra attention in Copenhagen the coming decade.

What a joke piece of journalism to come out of MIT, which administers MIT Lincoln Laboratory in its own backyard.

Countless folks have been fired from that place just for looking at their boss the wrong way one unlucky morning, since the scientists and engineers that work there are not considered worthy enough for tenure. (Lincoln employees perform various forms of "scut work" on defense contracts that grossly overcharge the US taxpayer in order to generate the overhead that supports tenured faculty and the bloated university administration on their Cambridge campus.)

I would say that leadership behaviors that nurture and respect workers as human beings (rather than just as "human resources" to be exploited for other people's financial gain) would be a more useful article to write here.
Yeah, never noticed that either across my two iPhones. I just notice that the System Settings icon has a red dot and will run the update when I have time.
Your motivation may be ideological but it is not in anyway practical.

If you look worldwide, places with minimal levels of regulation and enforcent tend to be more impoverished and almost no countries with a functioning government have the level of regulation that you advocate. The evidence strongly suggest that regulation tends to increase economic efficiency (at least up to a point).

Perhaps you can redirect your ideological distaste to find ways to help systematically determine which regulations are effective/necessary and expediently remove those that are harmful rather than advocating for a state of affairs that ignores reality.
Thanks Ivan, still lots of fun to move pixels around :)

The email 'request access' thing doesn't work
I have mixed feelings of SUS, I empathize with both of these comments. I didn't get into YC, but I was very early through SUS. I was firmly stuck in the idea validation and early build phase.

I have a more positive outlook on the group sessions though. True that sometimes they were energy draining, especially when you were having sessions with people that hadn't been able to put any work in since week 1. But that's due to life factors, etc, many of the groups had people occupied with their FT jobs, and I was slammed with my FT job for a core chunk of SUS too, where all of a sudden a week went by and I didn't really have an update.

However, the accountability was good, and I would push myself to try to have something for an update. Since then I've actually adopted this habit to publishing updates on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoWGysmHaCM).

Another positive of the group sessions regardless of who made it there (I had some where it was just me and 1 other person), was that it formed a habit of practising your pitching. Even though pitching regularly is well championed by YC, it's hard to practically force yourself to do that unless you're pushed into that role. The group sessions had value there :)

Interesting. Hopefully once this is resolved, new Plasma will follow.

We thought so.
The lack of auto destructing messages is inconvenient but not a deal breaker.

But it uses SMS to authenticate new sessions... we were a target of attack that exposed our group.

A few users had not set up two factor authentication so they woke to a warning from telegram that someone is logged in to their account from across the world.
Alpine uses musl instead of glibc. That works well for most things, but not all things. For example, there are some JVM implementations that don't like musl unless you do quite a lot of work.

I lived in an SRO in SF for 5 years. It was definitely the lowest rung on the housing ladder. I climbed out of homelessness and stayed there. For others, it was there last stop on the way down before losing it all.

I remember one older woman who got evicted. Late at night she'd sneak into the building and walk up the stairs when the front desk clerk was distracted. She'd go to the 2nd floor, walk into a end floor bathroom, and lock the door for the night. Imagine being 70-something and having to play games just to have a chance at sleeping in a small bathroom with an often nasty toilet.

Other stores include a 20-something woman I knew died of a drug overdose, my short-term house guest who was a raging alcoholic with no survival skills, the meth head who offered her services on a regular basis, the strippers who wanted my ADHD meds... So many stories.
Make it distributed.

Have each phone generate a public/private key pair, and upload the public key to an anonymous repository.

To escrow a key the client app uses a secret sharing system to generate 10000 key shares, with any 500 key shares being sufficient to reconstruct the escrow key. It encrypts each share with a randomly chosen public key from the anonymous repository. It sends these encrypted shares to the government.

If the government wants to recover the escrow key, it has to make a public request for help in which it publishes the 10000 encrypted key shares. Have an app on the phone that can receive notification of such requests, and if it sees that your public key was used for one of the shares it asks you if you approve the government's request to recover the escrow key, and presents the government's argument in favor of this.

If you approve, the app on your phone decrypts the share, encrypts it with a government key, and uploads it anonymously to the government.

In effect, this system provides a jury of 10000 randomly chosen anonymous phone users to review the access request, and 500 of them have to approve in order for access to be granted.
This doesn't say that the federal rules of evidence recognize doctor-patient privilege, and, in fact, the same site says explicitly that it doesn't.
Apple's Pro Display XDR with Nano-Texture Can Only Be Cleaned with Special Cloth
While I don't disagree with the rant, I note that the latest post on this gentleman's blog is today (December 10. 2019).

Not using the internet isn't a real option anymore.
Thanks for kind wishes. That’s correct, NativeConnect uses Private API, similarly to Fastlane and all other tools for ASO. Let’s hope for the next WWDC, maybe Apple makes them public.

As far as I remember, TestFlight in 2010 used both yours and their own enterprise certificate to sign apps with Apple and distribute them for public. Not sure however, sorry
They have an app store they earn money from. They have ads system. For them websites are competition. Because people loose time elsewhere than in apps. They click other ads than theirs.

How should anyone believe these actions are for privacy? And not against competition? Against the Internet?

Have you seen any consideration how it will impact website owners? I didn't. It seems they really don't care. And it is very dangerous.

It looks like the path to break the Internet.
Totally unfounded but to me reasonable speculation: it's a means of building a global surveillance network anywhere Huawei does business.

They will, but you'll be able to understand the problem, the fix, and how it combines with other fixes.

I can def see a world soon where all of Intel's woes have combined to the point that they've run out of patch space for their microcode updates, and you have to pick and choose what you want mitigations for.
Pretty sure that's for EU citizens only. Some EU countries used to offer free tuition even to non-EU nationals but most are now charging fees meaning that they are roughly as expensive as American universities.

Potentially more people will accept it. But I doubt it.

I had a coronary artery bypass graft earlier this year so I can offer some perspective on recovery. I wasn't eligible for stents due to the extent of the blockages.

Recovery is painful. The sternum is sawn in half to access the heart, I am 9 months out and my sternum still hurts.

Aside from the pain it is not bad. I was walking the day after the surgery. I was discharged in 4 days. I was back at work full time in 2 weeks. I was able to run a mile within a few months.

I was in cardiac rehab with patients who had received stents. They seemed to progress slower because many of them still had angina. They had a minimally invasive procedure, but they still had chest pain when exerting themselves.

If I had to do it again I would pick a CABG %100

Most of the horror stories with git are when people try to do crazy rebases. If you minimize the number of rebases, it is fine. (And in case you need to make some crazy rebase, remember to use tags to keep alive the old version in case it is necessary to undo all the mess.)

I use TortoiseGit https://tortoisegit.org/ 99% of the time, it's very similar to TortoiseHg.
We looked at various financial instruments and saw that cryptocurrency space lacked a cash instrument. We realized with our background we could create one.

Cash is the dominant form of consumer payments (77% world wide!) and the move to ban cash in various places disproportionately affects the underserved and marginalized members of society - ostensibly the audience cryptocurrency is trying to serve first. This is an effort to meet others with terms and technology they are comfortable and familiar with.

1) Training with synthetic data is definitely a thing in computer vision, exactly the way you describe. You can even throw a GAN on top of the results to make the renderings look less artificial.
2) They do something like this, in section 4.3 by splitting ObjectNet in half. They fine-tune (the last layer of) ResNet-152 (I wonder what happens if you fine-tune more layers) on half and test on the other half. This pushes results up by about 15% points. There's still a gap, but it can be plausibly argued that the gap would close up if we scaled things up by one or two orders of magnitude. The question is whether there's a better way.
Why not? What an employee does in their time is their business. Furthermore it takes two to tango, it's a free market.

If an Apple employee is solicited and accepts, then they're finding the opportunity or terms more agreeable than whatever Apple currently provides, why should an employee be denied the opportunity?

I trade my time, skills and knowledge for money. I don't owe my employer anything other than the above. If I receive a better offer, why shouldn't I take it?
Why not both? The market is a brilliant system. Privacy is objectively good for users and so is competition as it can lead to lower prices and better products for users.
I don't have anything to do at work that requires automation. Fair idea though.
The relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/243/
This is still false. As a concrete example, see the timeline for MacOS ASLR rollout. The fact that you think things like Haiku or Redox are revolutionary and you aren't talking about kernel locking schemes, file systems, protection against control flow redirection or really any subject area that is considered part of active OS research makes me think that the reason you don't think big companies are working on OS's is because you aren't actually interested in OS research.

Which is fine, there's no reason you should be. But it means you're barking up the wrong tree.
Cool! What is the cost to produce each note today, and how do you anticipate funding that longterm?
This seems like a VERY cool technical solution in a desperate and fruitless search of a problem.

> They consist of a flexible circuit board, specialized secure element chips and an independent NFC interface capable of powering the secure element. Each secure element stores an internally-generated ECDSA key pair that is associated with a unique smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain

Who wants bills that cost $3 ea, and are not likely to survive a wash?

> flexible circuit board

FPC != "meant to be constantly flexed". Most are not designed for a certain (not small) bend radius and to be bent no more than a dozen times. They are more meant to be curved once into a particular shape than to be constantly bent.

The problems came after the first stages of development, but I'm open to being convinced.

Is there a single example of urbanization resulting in lower prices, lower costs-of-living, lower rates of homelessness, less economic inequality, less traffic, etc?

Or is there an economist that can rationalize how the correlation between urbanization and urban problems can be positive while the causation is negative?

That says more about the impoverished situations of many of the people in those communities than it does about the schools. And bickering about Common Core and similar issues is a pastime across the whole country. Indeed, the intensity of the debate is a testament to the engagement of many, usually well-to-do, families in the city. Poor families have neither the time nor interest in having those debates. In poor rural communities the schools can also suck, but you'll never hear a peep of controversy because there's often only a single school and nobody capable or interested in critiquing the system.

Our oldest is currently attending TK (transitional-kindergarten, for those who turn 5 between September and December) at a public school, we've toured several public and private schools for kindergarten already, and we've spoken extensively with other families in our neck of the city (north and west). There are dozens of schools in the system, but at least for primary school your kid will be just fine. The middle schools and high schools can have more problems, but again that's a reflection of larger social and economic problems that older students unfortunately bring into the classroom; you can't fix that stuff through school. The staffing and academic programs at the public schools are as good as anywhere, and in some areas unmatched.

I recently attended an informational session for kindergarten enrollment at my son's school. I arrived and followed the signs to the room and sat down. When it began the principal asked, "who here only speaks English"? I raised my hand. She said, "the english language session is in the portable building", and I ended up in a room about the size of a walk-in closet. For the first half of the session, until some stragglers arrived, I was the only person there, so basically just had a one-on-one with the school official. The 15 or so parents in the main session all spoke Chinese, even though enrollment at the school is maybe half Chinese and this was the only night such a session was offered. (Which is to say, no other white, black, or latino families showed up.) All of which goes back to family life. Many in the Chinese community in the city are poor or working-class (only very recently have rich mainland Chinese began immigrating to SF), often immigrants or first or second generation, but they're extremely engaged academically and very demanding. It matters, both for their kids and the schools more generally.
Picocli 4.1.2 Released
Microsoft Releases Teams for Linux
If the amendment process is flexible enough to allow for throwing out the entire constitution and writing a new one, I feel like a more practical way to achieve drastic change would be to 1) write a new, idealized constitution, 2) diff it against the current one, 3) bucket the changes, 4) propose and ratify a series of amendments that gradually morph the constitution into what's desired.

Now, I don't expect that to happen either, but it seems more plausible. While it might be incredibly satisfying to throw everything out and start over, I'm not sure that's even wise, even ignoring the practical considerations.

Regardless, I think there's a lot of good in there that has held up really well over time, and we shouldn't be so quick to think we can do better. Some things have to go (like the overly-broad interstate commerce clause), and some things need to be added (like stronger rights to privacy), but I think we still have a solid base to work with.

Regardless^2, I don't even see the Equal Rights Amendment getting ratified (even ignoring its currently-expired state); anything larger seems too daunting. Our political client isn't amenable to any kind of constitutional amendments, and I expect that to be the case for many decades to come.

Regardless^3, the political machine seems to -- correctly -- believe that stacking the supreme court is the way to effect constitutional change nowadays, and they're unfortunately doing a good job of it so far.
Mostly the opportunity cost relative to other things to spend time on. But you're right. It should just work on Linux too.

There may be some platform-specific quirks to work out, but you are not the first person to ask for this. If you contact me at rod@<the domain above> or via the form on the website I would be happy to hook you up with a Linux build to try out.

If nothing else I could probably offer a not-officially-supported Linux version if enough people are interested in that.
I've worked for about a dozen tech companies, and all but 1 were like this...and even that one was probably bearable because I got along with the right crowd. It shouldn't have to be like that though, and I'd like to know of any non-toxic tech companies that exist :)
It is standard in the sense that it's not uncommon. But about as frequently it's not a requirement. Many companies allow complete or partial vulnerability disclosure once resolution is complete. It's often on a case by case basis and requires approval.

That law would need to be applicable to all companies - Walmart, Target, Visa, etc.
Is it actually true? Are the updates really for security and that these companies care about our security so much that they're willing to create a really bad user experience? My dad has an old machine now that is essentially unusable due to updates. The machine is used rarely enough that almost any time it is used some of the software (Windows, the browser or something else) wants to and automatically updates. The problem is that you cannot do anything for 15+ minutes when that machine updates. I guess it keeps him secure by discouraging him from using the computer in the first place.
