Certainly Brasília is a lot greener, but I wouldn't say it's pedestrian friendly: crosswalks requires one to deviate from the shortest route by a lot and walking in the north-south direction is always a terrible experience. What ameliorates this felling is when you are only walking inside of a block, but that's a tiny part of the Brasília's usual commute.

People often compare Brasilia to an airplane, this is common even among locals. But Lúcio Costa — the mastermind behind Brasília's urban project — used to compare Brasilia to a butterfly, not an airplane.

Judging by their S-1, not so much... They're offering up $100M in shares on $200M of assets and $300M in debt. They spend about as much on marketing as they make from selling the goods, leaving shareholders to pay for all of the administration expenses.

Anything that requires binary blobs just to boot seems fishy. You'd think one driver per chipset would be sufficient, and it should be open source.

I suppose in the AMD/Intel world, all these binary blobs are built into UEFI.
It depends. If your iMessage account is tied to an Apple ID used on multiple devices with 2FA enabled then the code is sent to one of those other devices to validate the login on the new device. So if you are fully in the Apple ecosystem and have 2FA enabled then I believe it would be secure. I know I get alerts on my other devices any time I have had to re-add my phone number to an Apple ID. It tells me my phone number is now being used on another device. So at the very least you would probably be notified.
> If you are under a deluge of noise, you have the power to control that.

This may be true in principle, but the fact that advertising exists, or even can exist, refutes this in practice.
> It always amazes me that casual and habitual drinking is an accepted thing

yes, everyone agrees drinking and driving is stupid, dangerous, and selfish. yet there are so many bars that are located such that nearly 100% of the patrons drove to/from the bar. Yes, some may have a designated driver, but I suspect many many simply drink and drive because they feel OK to drive and walking home isn't an option.

I'm a 175 lb man and after a single beer I'm sure I'm not legally drunk, but I can sure as hell tell that my perception and reflexes are affected.

You can run TOTP in javascript sure http://blog.tinisles.com/2011/10/google-authenticator-one-ti...

But how do you protect access to the website - with a username and password? Or do people now need to remember another code like "JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP" to set up the authenticator everytime they visit?

Mobile apps were one way to solve this although the hardware U2F tokens like Yubikey provide another authentication factor in a usable way (and more secure than TOTP because you can't be phished to enter them on the wrong site).

Is there any forum or group that has people that can advise on such matters?

I know HN is one but it's too big/too impersonal for this.

I mean a place for founders to find "mentors" (i.e. people with more experience or people that have done similar things before) that would be willing to help them with things as a sale to a big company or how to structure a deal.
Yes, it is a good example of misinformation.

Firstly, by the NSW police for conflating the severity of the current bushfires with the people they have arrested for arson - even though they have pointed to no-one being arrested for starting any of those fires. Secondly, by everyone reporting on this article while removing the sentence which alludes to that very fact.

By your comment, did you not read the Guardian article? It expressly does consider, but did not get a response from the NSW police. The articles main argument is that these reports from police have been misused with a campaign driven in part by bots and trolls (and murdoch papers) to divert attention from the real issues.

Now while I fully believe that in time we will see actual charges laid for these bushfires, as usually happens, to report numbers before there is evidence to support it is misinformation. Particularly also, as you yourself have argued further down the thread, in that arson is secondary, or at least oblique to the very real issue of increased load and increased hot, dry and windy conditions.
If we look at the behavior of alpha males vs. alpha females in other non-human mammalian species, it suggests that it is at least more common among alpha males. Not that it couldn't also happen with females.
Also anything scheduled, you have to be there early enough to account for uncertainty, and there's no flexibility. This both consumes time and prevents you from doing things. This seems like, too obvious, and yet I think it's ignored as a major factor in why people don't take buses and trains if they can afford not to. If I'm ten minutes late leaving for work in a car, I might be ten minutes late to work. If I'm ten minutes late for the bus (which already requires me to be earlier) then I'm going to be way late for work, depending on when the next bus is.

Someone in another thread was telling me 5 miles is a long way in a city, but I used to live literally a few hundred feet from work and yet my commute was about ten minutes, either by bus or by car, compared to my current location 5 miles away that takes about the same time. There were various reasons, from the roads being perpendicular to the direction required, and living in a multistory building that required several minutes of walking to get to the parking garage or bus stop. Why didn't I walk? I did try it a few times, but it required crossing two highways where people go over 50 mph, a street in the middle where people often go 40 or over, no crosswalks whatsoever, and a line of people merging on to the highway in the morning rush who all want to run you over. So anyway, this is the best possible scenario for a bus, and it only could match a car (or walking) in time elapsed. Bus fare is cheaper than owning a car, but if you're going to have a car anyway, it's not that much cheaper than gas & wear, if at all.

I have a few times taken the bus something like 10+ miles when I didn't have my car and it takes an incredible amount of time, so if I'm not a few hundred feet from somewhere, then the bus doesn't work for me then either. As long as I own a functioning car.
Academic research isn't some magic word that you just need to invoke, particularly when it involves personal data. You need specific informed consent and the sign-off from an ethics committee on your study plan. To not ask that of someone pretending to use your data for academic research is willful ignorance.

Of course, we are talking about Facebook, who have literally been in the news before for themselves running research experiments on uninformed, random users:

Totally agree! You'd think that vendors would agree too, since it makes it strictly easier for engineers to use their chips and design them into higher value products.
Some do, some don’t. If a developer wants to start their own company or move into leadership in a larger company then they need to start thinking this way. There is a vanishingly small number of senior ICs/researchers who get paid the big bucks to work on purely self-determined technical problems. It’s much easier to just learn a bit about business.

To be honest it's not even clear that "for a few hours" is fact. It doesn't appear to be footnoted or sourced in the report.

In that case the NPR article (which doesn’t mention a date) is just factually incorrect.

> "Would you put your family on a Max simulator trained aircraft? I wouldn't," says one employee to another, who responds, "No."

If that quote was from 2018, then it’s from a year after FAA approval, not “long before” it.

I was criticising the reporting, not defending Boeing, and as you’ve kindly pointed out, the reporting is even more dubious than I had first thought.
any recommendation on the machine learning platforms to use?

Perhaps one should build their new OS around a compatibility layer to support Windows drivers. I hardly am too much of a system programmer and don't know how much sense would that make but AFAIK this is possible. E.g. I remember using Windows WiFi NIC drivers on Kubuntu a decade ago.

TOTP has a secret which is basically the seed of the calculation. The security basically comes from that secret being only on the phone you have and not being copyable. Moving it to the server removes that proximity. At least thats how i see it, but you could do it very easily server side if you wanted with equivalent security loss.
Every Intel vendor starts their system using a proprietary, inscrutable Rube Goldberg machine as well. This isn't the problem here.
This is one of the most debated things in Brasília. The current understanding is that the design is neither an airplane nor a butterfly, but simply a cross adapted to the topography of the region [1]. The confusion comes from the words "Plano Piloto" (literally, "pilot plan" or "pilot design"). The butterfly metaphor, apparently, was a lyrical comment by Lúcio Costa, not a literal source of inspiration. Anyway, the intersections do resemble butterfly wings [2].

Keto Forcera: It's probably true to say that you are wealthy beyond measure when you are healthy. To many, this may perhaps be radical and might take some getting used to. Meat toppings can add at the very least 50 gram calories to each slice of pizza you delight in. The active ingredient in this is known as Ephedrine and it can normally be utilized when you are asking yourself how to lose weight.

Yeah we started ordering the ones with the supercap so we didn’t have to replace batteries anymore.

Somewhat recently I dealt with LSI and Dell cards. Longevity seemed just fine for a normal 3 year server lifecycle. The only time we had an issue is when the power went down in the data center. The power spike fried a few of the cards. Luckily we had spares.

Way way back I dealt with the Compaq/hp smartarrays. Those were awful. Also anything consumer grade is awful.
Carmack is also generally writing foundations and engines that are reused in multiple games. If it's not readable, it's useless.

Most indie devs are trying to crank out a game fast because they have a vision and/or they just want to sell it while the market's hot. Most have no plans on touching the game beyond maybe a couple tiny absolutely essential bugfixes shortly after release. Writing cleaner code is ideal, but that takes planning, foresight, and refactoring. That's loads of time for solo devs or tiny teams to devote which could be otherwise spent making new content entirely.

The problem is that it's increasingly harder to run a non Google certified Android phone.

For example many German (EU?) Banks now have some form of 2FA system for credit card payments which requires a Android/iPhone app which does only run on non rooted certified phones. (Through it should be noted that in Germany credit card is not the major payment method and many people don't even have one, instead dbit cards with V-Pay, giropay, etc. are dominant. )

As a site note this is also the case for their online banking Apps, but you can just use their website instead.
Just out of curiosity, how much do you have to grow to sell and where do you sell it?

I haven't traveled enough around the US to be able to give you an appropriate answer. I'd say Washington DC share some characteristics (federal capital, planned city etc) but it's still a "normal" city in my opinion: you can walk through it, buildings are in old-style architecture, there are people on the streets...

Probably, the older cities, such as Boston and even downtown NYC are quite different from what I was used to in Brasília. There is less urban planning and more organic growth.

It baffles me how much the alcohol industry keeps pushing fake studies about the "benefits" of alcohol. As if ANY of those benefits can be obtained without the poison of alcohol.

My father is an alcoholic. (in his case, he went to rehab and doesn't drink much anymore but he is still an alcoholic)

I used to think that I was going to drink at one point. I remember thinking, "if I was of age I'd like to buy that lady a drink." But by the time I turned of age and could, I decided I wouldn't touch it. I'd never really been offered alcohol growing up - so maybe that helped settle in the habit. But, I got offered it constantly once I was of age. I declined every time and never sought it out. I don't drink at all and even more so, I don't pay or contribute to alcohol bills directly. If my significant other wants a drink, I tell her to put it on a separate bill.

I used to think that maybe I'd drink but then I'd go to parties and smell beer. And I knew I wouldn't. I'd feel so much anger and resentment as soon as I smelled it. It pulled me back into hell. On top of this, I felt like I was the prime candidate for substance abuse. I have amazing executive control (I have suffered incredible emotional and physical pain over the last decade but I have never shed a tear in that time. Hell, I watched a lot of Disney movies and I still didn't. I do it just to prove that I still have control). You lose some of that control when you drink alcohol (from what I've been told).

So, I just don't. I don't care to know if I'm a jovial or mean drunk. I don't need to know if I'll have a substance abuse problem. Personally, I'd be quite happy if it didn't exist. I wouldn't have to deal with the problems it causes so frequently. I abstain from most other substances as well for similar reasons. (Caffeine really being the only thing that I normally ingest)
I disagree with you. The article says the truth about taxis in Colombia. “Millionaire ride” has been a thing for decades, and it still happens.

The competition from Uber made taxis improve so much, that I fear a return to the norm, before Uber, where taxis would ask 50k COP for a ride that should only cost 20k COP and so on.

Also, Beat are next in line for these lawsuits.
What a strange comment. Of course your car isn't casually related to who you are, but it is definitely correlated - it can't not be!
I am not sure I completely buy the thesis of this essay because...

1. Facebook has NEVER had positive PR. The tech-media has always used FB as the Silicon Valley punching bag. Name me one good article in the news about FB? At some point you're just numb to it all.

2. Facebook has had leakers for years, and especially when Boz makes posts!

To say that Facebook PR is broken implies it wasn't before. I'd argue that FB has long needed a comms team representative of the company it actually is. FB comms feel designed for the old college only network FB once was. When Google can do similar misdeeds and get only a tiny slap on the wrist, I do agree it's probably a comms problem in the end.

Also, to completely write off Sandberg because of one corporate misstep reeks of "Cancel Culture" hysteria, but that's just me.
I don't think so. With a police officer/arrestee relationship, coercive power is already being wielded. Being detained is inherently coercive. Any "request" from an officer acting in an official capacity is done with the implied backing of state power, and being arrested clearly establishes the coercive relationship.

But employment is transactional. There is an expectation that the agreed upon transaction will be upheld. A request that falls outside of the transaction, e.g. your boss asking you out, does not inherently imply economic coercion (whereas a request within the employment transaction does). But specifics of the context can alter that, i.e. wording of the request or specific context can imply coercion.
You are correct. Accounts are basically number of managers that can access to the dashboard. Engineers tracked is the main business model.
MetroPCS (prepaid MVNO now something like a subsidiary of TMo) required the 8-digit PIN on the account in order to change IMEIs. A bot would take down all the info, then if/when it was to a phone you'd never used on their network before, you got put on hold to wait to talk to a human and provide your PIN and new IMEI all over again. Then you'd hang up, power off, and move your SIM. But that was ~18 months ago, before it became "Metro by T-Mobile", so I don't know.
page 12:

> Professor Lloyd remained friends with Epstein after his conviction in 2008. He visited Epstein at his office in Florida during the period of Epstein’s criminal sentence. Professor Lloyd also visited Epstein’s private island, though for only a few hours for lunch, and he has acknowledged Epstein in his academic publications. While Professor Lloyd clearly valued Epstein as a source of potential funding, he also told us he believed that, by continuing to engage with Epstein post-conviction, he could be part of Epstein’s rehabilitation.

The way it's phrased it isn't clear if this was a one time visit or multiple times. "He visited the island" is an ambiguous statement as regards one time or many.

Facebook is the one that collected the data. It is their responsibility to ensure that who they give your data to is who they are, and that they are doing what they should be doing to your data.

The should have a comprehensive compliance program for third parties with access to user data and have the necessary enforcement regime with enough bite to prevent abuse. Not to hide behind their policies until they get caught red-handed and then shrug off their responsibilities to everyone but themselves.
