The watchdog is a nice feature to have a borked system reboot, lifesaver in the field if feces hits the fan.

What's less fun is if there is too little protection against electrostatic fields/EMI on the JTAG clock pin. On the small cortex m-class devices we work with, some of them can't shut off the JTAG part of the chip, meaning that when operating, if there are enough (I think 8) logic flips on the TCK pin in _any_ amount of time, the JTAG part wakes up, sets the HALT ON BOOT flag. Next time the device reboots (due to firmware update, or watchdog, ...), it will stop and stay in JTAG debug mode. Not nice. You need to manually power cycle the thing.

We detect this by periodically checking the JTAG power domain, and if it is on, tell the server this so that we avoid rebooting it (eg automatically after firmware update). This way we've found poor hw implementations and tough EMI environments by proxy of JTAG power domain :D.

Google Fonts is free. Buying a licence to use a font on the web can be expensive.

Also, Google Fonts does more than just delivering a font to the browser - the text= and font subset features can reduce the download size a lot, which you couldn't do if you were serving the Woff2 yourself on a dynamic site (eg you didn't know what characters were needed before the page rendered on the server or client).

Lastly,for common fonts like Roboto and Open Sans, there's a non-zero chance it'll already be in the user's cache. That's a win.

> His wall's a great example: it's far-right from some perspectives

I have no idea where people get this from. I am an Indian immigrant and India recently finished building their border fence/wall with Bangladesh. It works and helps reduce illegal crossing. Plus Obama, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and other democrats are on video from back in 2000s and 2012 where they advocated for the exact same thing.

Simply labeling everything you disagree with as far-right is silly.

Nothing stops you from versioning JOSE. You may start with version 1 right now and consider anything beneath it insecure.
I find that a very good, low cost, low friction measure is to do IP based mitigation only for sensitive ports (ssh, rdp, smb, etc). Ideally you implement an IP white list that you store in a safe and reliable place (cloud storage?). And your servers refresh that IP list every 5 minutes and modify the firewall if it changed. Easy to implement.

Only you can talk to sensitive ports. And the server is available to the rest of the world for non sensitive things. And if you connect from a new IP, within 5 min you have access to the server (I have a scheduled task that updates the IP list with my current IP so I usually don’t even wait).
It's essentially a meme at this point that GameStop is failing, but I'm curious, other than essentially starting a new company, what should a large company do once they find themselves in a dying industry? I feel like GameStop and other retailers don't have much a "moat" or specialty that they could pivot around.
Trans fats are similar to smoking in that they directly contribute to arteriosclerosis. Like smoking, obesity is a secondary concern. No doctor would tell you to keep smoking to stay trim; likewise, I doubt any doctor or scientist would suggest a diet heavy in trans fats (e.g. margarine) if for some reason such consumption would keep you trim.
For voice calls, most high volume VOIP services simply let the customer pick the caller ID. This is/was common for T1 based calling as well. There's lots of valid reasons for the customer to set something, so they just let anything through because it's easier; shaken/stir is supposed to change this over time.

To some degree this is true for SMS as well, but in the US, it's less so. Mostly you have to send from a number associated with your account, so you get 'random' number messages: the SMS aggregator has a ton of phone numbers, and picks one at random to send from. SMS spam is much rarer in my experience.

If you're in the mood, you can probably get most of the spammed links taken down by reporting to the providers; or if it's phishing, by reporting to the people being forged (who may have better connections; credit unions seem to know how to get things taken down real quick)

This spooked me as well. I never used any of the Samsung apps on my phone and never created the Samsung account. Since apps come pre-installed, it was in the back of my head that Samsung could access the data anyway, but I dismissed it as company suicide to do something like this.

Since so many people received notification, it could be that some "Samsung God mode" exists.

> But Mueller is a registered republican?

One thing you will notice is that a lot of Trump supporters hate both Democrats as well as many Republicans. Trump himself ran on attacking the Bush era. Remember his debate with Jeb Bush? Same with him hating on McCain (who gave the Steele Dossier to the FBI). That's why, Trump and a lot of his supporters dislike majority of dems but also many republicans.
This isn't just "hosting photos". It's the pictures plus some meta data (the CSV and readme files).

Protection from Noise
It depends on the distance. Even at 1 m an 850 Lumen source with 120 degree radiation angle is painful to look at, and at 1 cm distance the illuminance is 10.000 times higher again. The peak illuminance of the sun at the surface of the earth is around 120.000 Lux (Lumen /m2), significantly smaller than such an LED when viewed from a short distance.
Sure they do, they have to warm up the cache and OS data structures, whence why Windows has a pre-fetch service.
Of course there is no proven interpretation, but I quite like MWI. From my understanding of the theory, the particle does not interfere with itself: the particle follows all possible trajectories in each different 'world', and we observe but one of those trajectories. Once multiple particles are fired, we are _overwhelmingly_ likely to observe a wave-like detection pattern.

One poor universe, however, sees no evidence of wave-like behaviour at all!
Show HN: How to be sure to buy only Vegans products
Yes, actually! I just went looking and can't find it, but there was a science paper years ago about dropping.... hydrogen ions into liquid helium?

The expectation was that the electrostatic forces would create "bubbles" of empty around the ions, which (the bubbles, not the ions) would then be detected when they reached the bottom.

They found those bubbles. They also found many differently sized bubbles, all smaller, in a size distribution correlating to the probability that the ion would pierce the surface tension of the liquid.

The interpretation was that the smaller bubbles were the "pieces" of the waveform that traversed the surface tension. This was taken as evidence the waveform is an actual thing that actually exists.

I really wish I could find it...
Apart from comedic value, blame doesn't fix anything.

I resisted joining a startup that exited for 8-figures because one of the devs was emotional/blame-oriented and another one of the devs, a female, was too into me.
I’ve had a pretty terrible experience with Sectigo/Comodo over the last few months, especially thru their acquisition. At the moment, I have certificates that are managed in two different portals, one for their previous brand and one for their new brand. Customer support told me that there is no migration path to manage my certs all in one place.

We are going to repurchase all of our certs in Digicert this year with which I’ve had a much much better experience. They are well integrated with Azure Key Vault which allows us to automate certificate renewal and our AKS clusters will automatically get the new certs without us doing anything.

This sounds a bit like Comic Book Guy. For every person who has the opinion that Excel is “so crappy” there are probably 100 like myself who place it in the highest category of application software quality, with applications like Gmail and Adobe After Effects.

I've never been a dev in such a large environment but devs shouldn't even be able to touch such a production environment imo.

They do their testing and then hand over to deployment. After that they're out of the picture until the next update needs to roll out.

They can't have direct access to API keys for live apps in production.
I'm no physicist but I've always thought about the wave-particle duality like this:

Image you're tracking someone across the country. You have some data that they were in 2 towns 100 miles apart with the hour. They must be in a car!

But then, you catch up to them and find their physical tracks. It's a single line. No car could drive like that. They must be on a bicycle.

You sit there scratching your head wondering how they could possibly be going by car and bicycle at the same time.

The above situation looks impossible if you don't know about the existence of motorcycles. I always thought we were dealing with things that were not waves, not particles but something that shares some of the properties of both.

I'd love anyone with a deeper knowledge of physics to correct me/add to my thinking.
"UI is like a joke. If you have to explain it,it's bad."
But then does the developer now need to track this list of production test cards and make sure the application doesn’t enact some other logic based on the test purchase?

I mean really, you can get 99.9% of the way there with the test cards in the sandbox, and then give the thing a smoke test in production when you’re ready.

> The field isn't separate from the particle - the particle is the quantized field itself.

Yes. A particle is nothing but a very localized wave. Aka. "everything is fields."

Edit: I had more I wanted to add that wouldn't fit in this comment so I wrote it up as a blog post here: https://blog.roboflow.ai/how-to-win-pioneer/

I don't think that's the case. We're working on a highly technical startup (we make computer vision developer tools) and have been #1 on the leaderboard for quite some time now.

You're right that to be successful in Pioneer you certainly have to be able to clearly explain what you're working on to a general audience.. But this is an important skill to develop for the success of your company as well.

Regarding the lack of substance in updates, it really helps to link to verifiable supporting documents for your progress. For example, here's one of our recent updates: https://imgur.com/a/x63BAPn

Violinist Plays “Circles” by Post Malone
IMHO it's weirder than that. Here's my bad explanation of a theory, and uneducated interpretation

There's a paper out there about positing a series of non-quantum universes (particles that aren't also waves), except where each universe exerts a force on all other universes to not be identical. Apparently, under this framework, for N such universes you get an N-step approximation of the wave form (reaching the wave form as n->infinity).

Which is pretty cool in an of itself, _and then_...

We observe the wave form. Does that then mean we're observing across all of those universes?
Has anyone done a computer simulation of the slit experiment? I predict that even in a computer simulation with balls/particles, they will create a wave like pattern due to the balls/particles bouncing.
If you take something from multi dimensional space (3d+time) and project it on a 2d screen it often takes the wave form.

I don't think it's a "Tech vs Business" problem. Tech is just another part of the business. Every part of the business may have bottlenecks; sales, marketing, support, finance, etc. C-level has to learn to identify the bottleneck in the value chain and improve it until it goes away. You don't have to become an expert in every field to do that, but you do have to ask a lot of questions and use an improvement loop.

It's the same whether you're in manufacturing, distribution, health care, etc. Yes, you have to be able to learn a bit about the field. But just being a domain expert ("knowing about tech") often does not substantially improve the overall output of the value chain, as experienced engineers learn eventually.

> Yes, you can host your own _Signal server and have your own singed apps but it will have to be your own _Signal network, not Moxie/Signal Foundation's Signal.

I don't think that's quite true. You might[0] be discouraged from running your own self-built binaries, but given that Signal Android has reproducible builds[1], I don't think that there's any actual technical barrier. The context of your links is about having (unofficial) third-party packages for Signal, not about somebody building the binary for their own use, and since these are obviously two different things, from a social perspective, I don't think that the Signal foundation would complain much about the latter (given reproducible builds and the fact that you wouldn't be distributing the binaries, they probably wouldn't even know about it).

For Signal-iOS, it seems that you won't get push-notifications if you build by yourself.[2]

[0] I'm not 100 % convinced that "We would not recommend that anyone use an unofficial binary build" was meant to refer to building for yourself, by yourself.

>> Metadata is as important as content, and email leaks it.

> This is true

No, it can be true. There are classes of communication where the metadata is really not important. Like when my boss sends me an encrypted email with some secure passwords we don't store in plaintext anywhere.

The metadata that shows it's from my boss and might have some identifying is much less important than the fact I don't keep it in plaintext anywhere and it wasn't sent in plaintext, yet I can get to it if needed.
Yea that’s a good point, I realised that after I posted! But the alignment of incentives is not gone, it’s just less direct. In the long run, they will not be able to sell off the ISAs if their students don’t make good, because then the ISAs will not be worth much. Although looks like they’re already pretty cheap, 10k?

It doesn't make much sense to argue which parts of the equations are real physical. Having said that for me the Aharonov-Bohm effect proves the "reality" of the wave function.

How to deflect an asteroid: MIT engineers devise decision map to ID best mission
Disclosure: I got my B.Sc (Physics) in 1986 and I barely scraped through (and have been working in IT since), so fair warning.

If you were modelling the universe and everything in it, say via a simulation, fancy probability distributions would be a good way of calculating behaviour. What if the "stuff of reality" we're looking for (and trying to map the math to), doesn't actually exist? What if the math is all there is? What if behaviour is all that matters?

In primitive cultures, spirits were hypothesised as the animating force behind behaviour of animals, stars, weird people etc. For a long time, it proved a reasonable model until it was supplanted by our more scientific notions of the observable universe. But what if quarks, leptons, photons, are just "spirits" i.e. a good enough approximation given what we know? What if it's "spirits" all the way down? i.e. the only fundamental is the math and everything else is a visualisation (of sorts)?

BTW, that kind of speculative question (and an awesome high school physics teacher), are what made me study physics at university. Shame (in one way) I was more interested in rocking out and drinking beer.

It gets complicated fast. Currently if there is some sort of emergency or requirement to notify road users of a change to driving conditions, a person can just put a sign up. It mostly just works. If road workers are also required to update a database that needs to be read by a car, that’s a lot of infrastructure that needs to be working. You also need to have the humans and machines reading the signs as the same at every time point, as “road closed” or “one way” needs to be correctly understood by everyone at the same time.
In an emergency that may involve bad weather or some other sort of disaster, a remote database is not going to work very well. The car needs to read the actual sign properly.

I worked at a big name university in the IT department for housing and dining. Long before I got there, one of the Oracle database servers for meal-related activities had been pwned for years because it hadn't been behind a firewall and it had a routed public IP address. It was running Windows so it had accumulated a number of interesting malware including obscure rootkits with no antivirus patterns. I once booted it up off of clean media, ran some forensics tools and found a warez dumpsite on it. This box "couldn't be down" so all the happened to it was it was place behind a bidirectionally-restricted firewall. It still kept limping along with funky malware because they didn't want to spend time or money fixing it. Sigh. If it were my box, it would've been an immediate disconnection, image hardening, wipe and reinstall from backups (data-only).

I remember sending some binaries and other deets over to Mark Russinovich at then SysInternals, who's now the CTO of Azure.
In Sweden, most middle class people live in detached houses. However, most young professionals desire to live in apartments because it's simply more convenient. I hate the garden and I hate driving.

This article is about Sweden, remember. My parents have two houses, one outside Gothenburg (big enough that they have converted the floor me and my younger brother lived in into two apartments, one if four bedrooms the other one is two) and a beach house further up north. They're from a completely different generation with different priorities.
