I got one of these for my 13 year old. We’re trying to ease her into having a phone without giving her Instagram etc. quite yet, since we think smartphones can be dangerous for mental health of young teens.

The phone has been a mix of good and bad. The software is still somewhat buggy. I think the hardest thing is that the eInk screen ghosts a lot and has a very long refresh cycle, which really can get in the way of using it. There are times when you just can’t read the screen because it has so much ghosting. Emoji work but are so tiny they are hard to read.

Overall - I still like it and hope it gets updated software to add the missing features (music, for example). But the screen is a pretty big compromise. I’d probably be happier if they used a standard LCD screen.

The OverTheWire Advent Security CTF had one problem this year [0] which involved reverse engineering a (self-modifying) Master Boot Record binary similar to this which implemented AES-ECB-128, felt very rewarding to complete. I made heavy use of bochs [1] which seems to be the most common tool for emulating and debugging protected mode and bootloader code such as this. The creator of the CTF challenge talked about it on twitter as well [2].

Eduction without physical classrooms aka correspondence education is a really old idea. Using the internet to host videos, is a take on using TV to broadcast videos to remote area, which is a take on doing the same with radio.

Don't think tech users are better than other people. They fall for marketing tactics too.
Unfortunately the malicious domain could be registered for days or weeks before being used in a campaign. The time that the domain is in stealth mode doesn't incur any extra cost to the spammer, and nor does it give any clues to the blacklisters that the domain is about to host something malicious.

If there were some way of bootstrapping new domains with some sort of positive trust signal (e.g. links from domains that have been in use for a long time?) then it might be possible to preemptively blacklist domains, as you say, but there are potential anti-trust issues with any such system that dissuades people from accessing the websites of new companies, for example.
My experience with Flutter is that you need a lot less native code than you do with React Native.

However, the hands down best part is the tooling. Unlike on react native everything just works on Flutter. It doesn't feel nearly as fragile.
That’s a really lazy argument.

The entire business world relys on a third party product (Microsoft Windows) whose business model has already changed and has already mostly killed its once flagship product (perpetually licensed windows).

Google writes contracts for chrome enterprise support that are 5-7 years long, so it’s unlikely they would just make the product go poof.
We don't have the sample apps on the App/Live stores right now. It's very easy to spin up your own app, though. Will explore if we can provide the apps through stores so you can try them quickly without building the sources yourself
Let's be honest even in our current technologies of choice the product rarely ships. But I get your point.
Of course, using a bad metric is often better than using no metric at all, but it doesn't follow that the current strategy is optimal.

It especially doesn't follow that global rankings should be a user-visible metric, or an explicit player motivator (a la seasonal rankings). People don't bot because they're unhappy with the players they're matched against. They bot because they want a publicly visible number to get bigger and because player rewards are locked behind competitive rankings.
This is disgusting.

I am sure you can find enough people in the world who would voluntarily do this without coercion. Getting people drunk in another city/state (?) and coercing them to do something else is rape territory, and I hope everyone involved faces criminal justice for that

It's strange that the site is still up? I'm not visiting but, but how can there be civil and criminal charges and the site is still up...
Yeah IME expectations with ML are just the worst. Somehow, non-ML-educated stakeholders expect it to be predictable, like they pretend traditional software engineering is... but also to be magical in scope.
Lightning Network is primarily off-chain transactions, but parties don't have to trust each other. If you open a payment channel with a malicious party, there's no way for them to benefit, and the worst they can do is make you wait a few days for a timelock to expire in order to withdraw your funds. Admittedly, that's a bit of a nuisance, which is why I'm surprised fees for Lightning Network transactions are so low currently (approximately $0.00). I've already used Lightning Network several times without ever doing KYC.
btw, the "washington examiner" exists solely to challenge rational thought and decency.

the thing is, if you always the devils advocate, you have to accept that your client is, in fact, the devil.

but in other news, it's a fake news rag of ill-repute that can't be counted upon for anything other than trying to stir the pot in a rather tilted "rupert murdoch" like manner.

It's a tabloid. A cheap exercise in yellow journalism.
The National Enquirer trying to pretend it's the WaPo circa the 2016 campaign, they just forgot to turn the trumpet off.

per the wikipedia entry etc...
"The Washington Examiner is an American conservative news website and weekly magazine based in Washington, D.C. It is owned by MediaDC, a subsidiary of Clarity Media Group, which is owned by Philip Anschutz.

From 2005 to mid-2013, the Examiner published a daily tabloid-sized newspaper, distributed throughout the Washington, D.C. metro area. The newspaper focused on local news and political commentary.[2] The local newspaper ceased publication on June 14, 2013, and its content began to focus exclusively on national politics, switching its print edition from a daily newspaper to a weekly magazine format.[3]

The Examiner is known for its conservative political stance and features many known conservative writers.[4]"

To which I reply "Conservative? conservative of what, precisely? conserving what in which manner?"

It's a Trump trumpet. Blatant. next.
The threat of enforcement is enough. Amazon doesn't compete with the USPS, so the government doesn't bother. But you can bet that if Amazon ever tried to get into the regular mail business the government would prevent them from using mailboxes.
Disclaimer: I work at Stripe.

I use Stripe Billing. I opted to use Checkout so I don’t have to build the UX for subscribing/checkout. Stripe handles the payment collection and fraud protection.

I opted to prorate cancellations to simplify the customer experience. I built the cancellation UX on my own since Checkout doesn’t (yet) support this. I haven’t yet built the UX to change plans.

For your specific case, it might make sense to track your internal credits separately from payment. When payment is made, add credits to the user’s account. Remove credits when a refund occurs.

I've always wondered why companies for whom logs are important but not their core focus / product bother implementing stuff like this themselves. Surely a saas service that does just logs can do it cheaper and with more features? Is it compliance?
It's like a flip phone but marketed towards these posers who want to "get away" from technology.

We use DataDog. We run their logging agent in a container which tails the log file and syncs with their cloud service.
This seems like the Dunning-Kruger Effect or maybe Pointy-Haired Boss Syndrome. Having never coded Biden miscalibrates the skill and effort required for competence. His words would have more weight if he took the time to learn to write FizzBuzz. After that he might want to qualify "Anyone".

> The U.S. Leads All Countries In Reducing Carbon Emissions

Ok, so we are beating all other countries in the entire world at reducing carbon emissions.

But you say that's not good enough and we are shit.

Even though we are #1 it is not good enough in your op-ed.

Does this not indicate you are incompetent, a drooling partisan imbecile lacking basic facts, and totally unqualified to speak an opinion on this topic my dear Mr. J. Larocco?

Thank you for your detailed response!

BTW, I personally have met you and your wife who is lovely and a great cook, her kimchi is the best, so this isn't some troll, I'm genuinely personally offended by your stupid comments to me, believe them to be inane, and am pushing back at you legitimately as a matter of personal honor: friend to friend.

edit: thanks for the downvotes Jerry, bud. Give me a call, you have my number. Remember when you had to put your shoes outside JY's bedroom?

It’s because cheating software runs at a level that only invasive software can detect. Without any detection software, it becomes a far more manual (and likely unscalable) problem of having to deal with individual player reports of suspected cheating.
Strange choice of syntax to be seeing boot sector Asm in --- I didn't know GNU/AT&T assembler(?) could generate 16-bit binaries. Also looks to be a very beginner attempt since I immediately spotted lots of bytes that could be trimmed; if I was looking at disassembly and not the source, I might even mistake this for compiler output. A few more hints/suggestions:

- mov ax, 13h | int 10h will enter mode 13 in 5 bytes instead of 6
- this is x86, not a RISC. mov m16, imm16 exists.
- put the variables in memory after the code and initialise them literally
- use ALL the registers. I don't see a single bp or si
- the use of a few 32-bit instructions (but not 32-bit registers) is odd

I would also recommend studying the entries of this old competition to learn some more sizecoding tricks: http://www.hugi.scene.org/compo/compoold.htm

pouet.net's many sub-1K demos are also worth inspecting.
Inflation is an emergent property of money. It isn't set or enforced it just naturally happens because of money. Monetary policy can be set to try to corral it to certain ranges based on economic beliefs about what rate of inflation implies in terms of growth and risk.

2008 happened because of bad debt. That the bad debt was cheap debt certainly poured fuel on the fire, yet the fundamental issue was deregulation and high risk lending practices that followed from that deregulation.
> In your game design not only is it dull because you have a 50:50 chance of having the right gun equipped to take advantage of a situation even if no one is cheating.

Except that it's not random, because you can try to figure it out. You know what's in the map. If you go to where a particular weapon is and it's not there, now you can expect the opponent to have it, so you start looking for defenses against it etc. Or you know that you're playing against Bob and Bob always goes for the same weapon like a chump because he doesn't know what to do with any of the others. Or you get a weapon and then go around collecting every defense against it on the map so the opponent can't get them.

> But it’s still very amenable to cheating both because the cheat would be able to switch weapon the instant the client was informed of the state of the opponent, beating a human where it actually matters and would still be able to have a mechanically perfect aim.

Which is why it's not about switching faster, it's about making the right choice to begin with. The whole idea is if you have to switch at all you're probably already dead and switching a half second faster isn't going to save you.
Keep telling yourself that, and hire a mason to do some machining, or the machinist to do your hair, or the hair stylist to do your doctoring, or your doctor to do your roofing, or the roofer to do your stocking, or the stocker to do your books, or the bookkeeper to do your cooking, or the cook to do work on your car.

I assure you, human beings are not mere cogs. The sooner you divorce yourself from the notion, the better off you and any employees will be.
I don't agree. Interview time is limited and valuable. Sure, you could ask the candidate about anything thats not illegal to ask. But why waste time on irrelevancies? Asking about a single low grade when the candidate has an otherwise respectable GPA is just wasting a chance to ask a better question. If I saw a junior interviewer do it, I would be tempted to share some ideas of stronger questions to ask in the future. Experience: hundreds of interviews.
MXNet existed before AWS picked it, and it has a lot of strengths. I’d use it (especially with Gluon) over TF any day. But that said, PyTorch is usually easy to use on AWS... the preference for MXNet seems weak
Check with your local banks too. In my businesses I have always maintained banking with smaller regional banks and 1-2 national banks.

Most times you can get much better deals from non-startup type banks (seems counterintuitive). IME even Bank of America has better terms for small business then SVB does.

For small regional banks they are more flexible with terms generally and will work with you to establish business credit lines that aren’t attached to the founders.

I always build credit very early in a new business, using cash (or cash equivalents) to help reduce/remove personal liabilities. This is normal for small business but tech startups always seem to miss this and wind up doing it way late IMO. And local banks are key to this.
>Just because it happens doesn't mean there's something wrong with the technology. This is the real-life equivalent of walking into a shop that's branded "AyeAye" when paying your "EE" bill.

I would guess that if this scam was performed over snail mail it would have vastly higher success rates than SMS spam.
Depends on how risky you're willing to be with your log data. Something like what you're describing could lose all of your data with a single instance or hard drive failure while a saas like Paper trail has your data replicated across data centers.
syslog / stderr -> Kafka -> centralized ELK

Files / log rotation is completely the wrong approach because log entries are mostly innately structured, rich data that occurs at a specific time. Serializing and then parsing log lines again is wasted effort. Messaging is a better fit than lines in files which create log-management headaches like not rotating, losing messaging on rotation, compressing/decompressing and a lengthy soup of destructured data that fills up local disks.

Logging to files on local disks is wrong and often creates privacy problems. Logging to cloud services is also expensive, a legal quagmire and raise data portability concerns.
That's an important number to note, thank you. Do you have an estimate for how many victims a single domain is likely to trick (before it gets blacklisted by Google Safe Browsing or similar)?
4) An abridged chain. I wish I could find the link for this or remember what it was called, but there's a lot of research towards making a compressed chain that's still verifiable and would be small enough to have on your phone. I believe their thesis stated they should be able to get it down to 2mb if my memory serves correct.
Sure they can, but why bother? Perfecting snark take a lot of work...

The real question is can they learn to be a politician, or say a Burisma board member?
"private" of course doesn't mean will remain private, however.
There aren't a lot of Kmart locations still around, and I suspect that some of them are in spots where the land is owned and there's some competitive advantage to being there (like the ones in the Florida Keys, where there's no Walmart closer than the mainland).

> Seems like best selling items are gift cards.

So either this is a way for crypto to be "used" for purchases at popular stores, or it's being used for money laundering. (those gift cards are easily sold on eBay and other marketplaces for fiat; this is how you'd take payment in mostly untraceable crypto and cash out without having to subject yourself to exchange KYC/AML)
I on the other hand avoid vendor lockin like the plague and self host open source applications where i can.

But as long as you can install another linux on a chromebook(i once bought a refurbished x131e for less than $100,upped the ram to 8gb, put a seagate sshd hybrid in it and dual booted windows10 + ubuntu on it. Its just like any other laptop except no function keys) there's really no issue here..
If you have a general GPA of 3.7, why?

Was it a bad teacher? A bad class? Someone in the family died? Bad breakup with girlfriend?

What business is it of yours? And, even worse, if I lie to you about why, can you verify it? And, even worse, I'm probably expecting you to ask me about it, so I'm completely prepared to snow you on that subject. Not only is asking me about it useless, it's a negative amount of information since you could have asked me about something else.

I'll go further, we had one professor at my alma mater that was well known to be a jerk. If your interviewer was from that school, passing this class was considered godly and failing it was considered a rite of passage.
I'm in CA, and Covered California prices are about the same as COBRA. I would be okay with 200-300, but 600 seems steep for the low (but catastrophic) potential.

IIRC maganese was used by virtually all American glass manufacturers from the 1800s til 1920ish. So I suppose if the glass was dyed purple, it would turn more purple as it was exposed to UV but only if the glass was manufacturered during that time period.

I wonder with facial recognition and etc if it would be possible that all sorts of sites would get caught up in this sort of thing where previously they thought they could just do whatever with the video and it likely wouldn't be noticed?
What happens in reality in systems like that is that doctors are lectured to avoid prescribing expensive exams, things like MRI or PET scans, even sometimes not telling patients they should do them if they could afford to pay them on their own.

And the same goes for drug prescriptions.
Understanding Consequences of Forcing Alignment: Pragma Pack(1)
There is a solution (#3). Best known is to have the consensus layer prune data periodically, but check to see if the UTXO getting pruned are still spendable and charge fees for rebroadcasting them.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agppUdX9YvI&feature=youtu.be...

An actual market-powered mechanism for data-pruning. As the price of new transactions rise, the amount paid by old (rebroadcast) transactions rise more. Network hits equilibrium where data in == data out.

The NRO is essentially just a brand the five RIRs use when they want to make public statements of this sort. So read this as a statement from the CEOs of these five orgs.

With this request, I suspect they are more concerned with ensuring proper processes were followed within ICANN rather than the outcome. I think they are primarily concerned with maintining trust in the wider "Internet governance ecosystem" (that they are a part of). This is a concern as there is greater pressure from governments that want to make the case that the current model is not working and should be reorganised along UN/ITU terms.
I think you're thinking of Wimblemimble and ZK-snarks. They use cryptographic techniques where the signatures need to "add up" to what they should in order to be valid -- demonstrating that no new tokens have been added in the course of the new block.

Quite cool approaches. The problem is that you can't attach data to transactions, so only useful for a subset of applications, those unlikely to create much bloat in the first place.
> On top of this the only thing worth shipping between stars is information at the speed of light.

It could be worthwhile to beam energy out to interstellar distances (also at the speed of light). This is probably needed for interstellar travel anyway.
It's not irrelevant to ask about this, it's a very legitimate point to bring up and can be quite productive to do so. Sorry you don't see how that is but clearly you're a bit dense and your company will be failing if it hasn't already done so assuming someone who thinks like you is actually in charge of all hiring as you claim. Do me a favor and pm me your stock ticker so I can short it.

As far as interviews and economic value I'm sure I beat you on both metrics by a vast margin. Also pointless and silly, but you try to bring up your "hundreds" of interviews, LOL, sonny boy.
DICE claims that they’ve only ever had a handful of false claims in 2018:
https://www.ea.com/games/battlefield/battlefield-5/news/anti...

With regards to the use of Linux, I suspect there’s more to this that DICE is unwilling to disclaim. Possibly that there’s a lack of ability to differentiate cheaters in Linux vs non-cheaters on a software level? DICE never officially supported Linux and stated what the requirements of the game were (Windows). However, I couldn’t find anything in their EULA or elsewhere about a platform requirement to use the software (maybe I overlooked it?). Regardless, the notice players are getting for their reason is due to cheat software so I think that may be irrelevant.
