Web Cache Deception Attacks Are Still Around, Says New Research
Anything having to do with your phone should not be considered a 2nd factor.
> Dangerous because if people start believing this en masse, that prosperity is a zero-sum-game, then war is the only reasonable alternative.

It’s always been when resources are constrained. For all forms of life.

Single family detached homes with garages on quarter acre lots and annual beach/ski vacations are not going to happen for all 8B+ people. The ones that don’t have this are unlucky to have ancestors who lost wars.

Although, I might agree that it’s best (at least for me) if people don’t realize this or think about it in these terms en masse.

I'd say that's to be expected of a Nightly release. Have you considered the stable Firefox Preview? I've had some crashes, but not many.
The largest effect of data privacy regulations is on self-policing behavior. Every person at every hospital in the US knows what HIPAA is and is at least aware of it and potential impacts. There is training, consideration is given to it with respect to IT decisions, etc.

It is a very different set of behaviors than pre-HIPAA.

Same with GDPR, you very clearly see large corporations at least asking: "Do we need this data?" and there's a patchwork of state privacy laws (CCPA being the most prominent) that are in effect.

Case in point: Illinois has really stringent biometric data laws that include facial recognition and I would not be surprised at all if they were right now preparing for legal action against Clearview for violations.

Deconstructing Web Cache Deception Attacks: They're Bad; Now What?

I think I'd refer to it more as "terrifying" and "unpreventable without regulation" more than annoying myself.
> It is crazy how much well intentioned people do in the interests of sustainability

Maybe I am just too pessimistic. But I see most those people not as "well intentioned" but as "wanting to be part of the group". And to be part of the group, you have to play that game. Like it or not. After all, as humans we are very social animals and most of us need that group recognition.
You should try a Vietnamese place if there’s one near by you. The ones around here at least don’t seem to skimp on the meat as much
Don't forget eating too much meat, which is responsible for most of the other 4/5th's.

I'm not saying everyone should be vegetarian but for most people eating 50% less meat would be a lot more impactful than avoiding plastic packaging or imported veggies.
I refer to this as semiliterate programming.

I've found it to be a useful bootstrap toward a properly literate environment, which will require considerable tooling support to provide a reasonably modern experience.

Black History’s Impact on Entrepreneurship
kinda offtopic, but I really object to lumping seatbelt laws and helmet laws together. mandatory seatbelt use is as much for the safety of people outside the vehicle as those within it. unrestrained human bodies can become dangerous projectiles in an accident.

mandatory helmet laws are dumb nanny stuff. if someone wants to split their skull on a curb, it's their own business. riding a bike/scooter at low speeds is not particularly risky anyway, and such laws add friction to a healthy and environmentally friendly means of transportation.
It's certainly a fun idea. If the goal is human readable, humans are surprisingly bad at differentiating emoji just by looking at them, especially all of the subtly different variation face ones. Describing them over something like a phone call could lead to all sorts of transcription mistakes. Not to mention that there's a variety of different emoji input systems/keyboards and the amount of user skill in finding/picking emoji for text entry are hugely variable.
Nope they shouldn't. Nobody owes anything to anybody because some random wacko liked something they once said or did.

And even if you think they should, it's neither yours nor Reddit's business to enforce it.
Um... epstein would like to have a word with you.
GoodRx Shares Data with Google, Facebook, and Others
I'd hope to see something like this at the national level, but state level is a good start.
Probably not. Only if it’s a photo that you own the copyright of, and you didn’t divest that copyright when you gave the photo to a site that had a reshare clause in its terms of use.
you just need one corrupt guard, or somebody who is willing to close their eyes. guards are only people and being on shift talking with and being exposed to those confined will eventually make them empathic, as they realize many of the prisoners (majority but not all) are just people who never had a chance (grew up in orphanages or on the street, or often just homeless looking to escape the cold of the winter by doing a small crime to get there on purpose). There is one common theme among all of them: poverty and/or trauma. Once you see it (and being a guard exposed to them all the time you will see it unless you're a heartless or dumb sh!t) all the binary thinking and indoctrination starts cracking. This is where the bribe comes in since the person bribing also just fulfills a need (addiction, social interaction or whatever).

Instead of Prisons: https://www.prisonpolicy.org/scans/instead_of_prisons/chapte...

Anyone looking for some Netflix/Chill which is also edutainment about prisons and that doesn't paint the problem as binary (good vs evil) I highly recommend Oz https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118421/ or (a more recent show about the streets and problems in LE) The Wire https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0306414/ <-- needs at least 2 or 3 times watching because it's incredibly dense!

This looks intriguing. Can you please explain what I'm looking at? I feel like Bowman waking up at the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey"
Considering most of this is common knowledge and was largely discussed elsewhere recently, it’s still shocking to see how normalized is USA’s dystopian existence. It’s like COVID19 is the least of their problems considering what‘s considered “normal”.

Have you considered using a more efficient programming language to lower the environmental cost of running your code?
The TeX source is not in the form in which it is intended to be read. It's like you showing the current HTML and JavaScript source code of some article and complain that the message is hard to read.

What you showed as the TeX source is at the same time a source representation for this book:

Computers & Typesetting, Volume B: TeX: The Program (Reading, Massachusetts: Addison-Wesley, 1986), ISBN 0-201-13437-3

and at the same time the "plain" Pascal program can be extracted from that same source representation(1)

That was the idea of Literate Programming that Knuth also tried to demonstrate in his article as he was "framed."

Which other program that is hard to develop (that one took 10 years of the best programmer in the world, supported by his students and assistants) has a nicely printed book form that fits 600 pages and has all the descriptions?

Even more impressive, Knuth intentionally developed his program with the specific idea that its outputs are the same no matter how much the computers change in the future. And he managed to achieve this -- the more ports of his original program are available everywhere and using his sources from eighties produce exactly same pages as then.

------------

1) "WEB programs are converted to Pascal sources by tangle and to a TeX input file by weave. Of course, tangle and weave are WEB programs as well. So one needs tangle to build tangle---and weave and TeX to read a beautifully typeset WEB program" -- that is, if you don't buy a book which is already typeset and printed.

It's very misleading. While it was filmed in 2015 it was published in 2020.
I thought we were talking about code though.
Nice, this is so cool! I had a few line-type creatures wriggling around at first and then a huge population explosion occurred and a swarm started filling the screen.

We can do better. The collective we can do better than that.

There are a number of currently less than popular steps that are obvious short / middle term answers.

* Nuclear power (cleaner, cheaper energy)
* Waste Reducing Nuclear designs ('breeder' reactors)
* Population design (reducing humans on Earth)
* Fund better land / farming use.
* Tax misuse.

Longer term I feel that as a species we need to take bigger steps.

* Colonies in space (orbit, moon, other planets)
* Establishing at least robots in the 'belt
* Building world ships to distribute backups
* Solar collector rings for more power

The problem with solar rings is that while they're great at focusing the sun for industrial uses like power plants or maybe solar forge operations, they're also great at delivering lots of energy to places that don't desire it. Like the evil villain in a cartoon, movie, or distopian dictatorship. I think they should be staffed the same way that other dangerous engineering operations should be staffed. Engineers and security forces working as part of the largest collective governing units (at the present time, that would probably be the UN or one of the permanent members on some UN security councils).
Can you illustrate this by providing a concrete example for one of those two problems?
Yes. An the smugness of it all.
What do you mean they "lost your repositories"?
Our test won't detect Huntington's unfortunately.
This looks cool!

I wonder if it would be feasible/worth it to incorporate a pedal assist system to lengthen the range.

Also I would love a convertible version.

What about safety? Especially rolling? Would this work in the US from a regulatory standpoint?
Why not use ReasonML for this though?
Air New Zealand Skynest – lie-flat beds in economy class
A similar argument applies to SPIR-V. While I believe Apple are still trying to use LLVM bitcode for some purposes, the reality is that for a spec like Vulkan, you really want a shader program representation that is properly designed with a view to compatibility and independent extensibility (in the sense of hardware or platform vendor extensions), which LLVM IR isn't, pretty much on purpose.
The same echo chambers exist on the left. I was banned almost immediately from the Bernie subreddit for asking why he's running on a platform of getting money out of politics while at the same time being the most aggressive campaign when it comes to requesting donations. The "I am once again asking for your financial support" meme perfectly captures this.

Your low-cost LORA/whatever plan would be foiled by lack of regulatory approval for using those frequencies and those waveforms.
It's interesting that you believe you can interpret the motives of others (it was just a prank!) But you object to other people's interpretations. And what a coincidence, your interpretations align with your prior beliefs.

Regardless, I think the facts are clear - reddit administrators altered the communication of users such that they appeared to be insulting the moderators of their subreddit. You think it was a "prank". Others think it was malicious. That difference of opinion over the facts doesn't justify your accusations against the parent comment in my opinion.
Seems a little misleading that it's €19.99/mo after a €2644.00 down payment. Still cheap, but not THAT cheap.
Yeah pick your battles. Nothing really stops you from using git locally.

How long did it take them to finish implementing all the equivalent WebExtension APIs after they dropped XUL?
> The Ami is not classified as a motor vehicle. As such, operators do not need a license and can be as young as 14 in France and 16 in other European countries.

Interesting. How did they get around that classification, and for something that operates on the street?
Yes, it is. We deal with Raspberry Pis every day at work (for... reasons) and even I had to re-read a couple times to understand what they were talking about. It would've been easier for them to say 'for the same price you paid the original RPi, now you can get an RPi 4 with double the memory the original had and much, much faster processor'.

> It can be rented long term at a cost of €19.99 (including VAT) per month with an initial payment of €2,644.

Seems like a bit of a stretch to call that €19.99/mo when you also need to pay the equivalent of 11 years of rent up front.
This is a great product. Where is the sequencing done?
Many of the type-traits can be implemented without specific compiler support. That's how Boost managed it. Here's their implementation of is_signed if you're curious [0].

I believe some standard-library type-traits cannot be implemented without specific compiler support.

The fact that this doesn't require a driver's license to operate is a big deal given how difficult and expensive (around 1000 euros) it is to get a driver's license in France.
I think the best option is to switch to a high paying company.
Also, as an H1B visa holder, I don't think I'm underpaid according to levels.fyi. So it depends on the company.
Probably something around max horsepower of the motor.
6000 EURO starting purchase price.

Pretty good for a daily commuter in Europe. Especially considering how narrow the streets are in Spain. Sounds like it's ripe for that market.
Can't really take this sucker outside the city though, but at that price, I'd certainly consider it for a daily driver.
What BERT Is Not: Lessons from a New Suite of Psycholinguistic Diagnostics (2019)
When I tried to log in I was prompted to "upgrade my account" to a "Bitbucket Cloud" account. After doing so, all of my repositories were gone. It seems that my repositories remained on my "Bitbucket ""Regular""" account but that my email address was no longer associated with it, giving me no way of logging in to it. I emailed support 6 hours ago and have yet to get a response.
Conformal map projections are important for navigation. Equal area projections can be conformal over small areas, but not over large areas.

Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere is a good default for a software application to use. It is global, meaning that regardless of what data you dump onto it, it will show up on the map. It is conformal, which means if you zoom in, shapes will be preserved. If you zoom in on a town square that is actually square, it will be square on the map, too. North is up in all locations.

That being said, it's only a good default because if you users aren't knowledgeable enough to select the right projection, web Mercator aux sphere is the least bad, lowest common denominator option. When you as a user choose what projection to use to visualize your data, it's usually wrong to select web Mercator aux sphere. But if you were never going to make the effort to select the right projection anyway, it's not a completely terrible default.

Note that web Mercator is different from web Mercator aux sphere. Web Mercator is not conformal, which makes it pretty useless. Many people use the terms web Mercator and web Mercator aux sphere interchangeably, which they shouldn't.
If they're already ISM do they need special approval to use in space?

That's way cheaper than the €14.995 Estrima Biro [1] that it will be competing with here in the Netherlands.

This just screams safety issues to me. I'm not sure I would want to drive down some city streets in one of these.
Using Mendeley data to discover trending academic papers
For the record, I do agree with your general sentiment that many of these abstraction layers are unnecessary, and in many ways harmful. Especially when it comes to data integrity, trying to enforce constraints and triggers at the application level is always going to be clunky and error prone, and monolithic frameworks like Django and Rails actively encourage you to do everything at their level and give you many ways to shoot yourself in the foot. But I also don't think Hasura and Postgraphile and related projects are the silver bullet. Why can't we have something in the middle? How about a web framework that leaves data integrity up to the DB and just gives you an easy way to "glue" together bits of logic and queries, and do migrations, etc? Or even just use Django/Rails/whatever but don't use the footgun features? At least then, if/when you do need to scale (in any sense of the word) past what a relational DB can offer you, you can easily do that instead of trying to shoehorn everything into the DB.

Aside: I'm working on a GraphQL library for Python that I hope will fulfill these goals, but development on it has stalled due to lack of time. Hopefully I can pick it up again soon.

FUD may have been strong, but in general I detest when people decry entire categories of technology as being "wrong" or unfit in an absolute sense (or, conversely, tout a technology as a silver bullet), when in fact everything has its tradeoffs and there are good reasons to use almost anything. Understanding those tradeoffs is vastly more important than searching for the universal answer to everything.

1 person committed a crime. So the true positive rate is 1 out of 7 billion or so. So how many false positives would 0.1% lead to? About 7 million pants wearers?

And for false negatives, we expect half the time the true criminal's pants would prove them innocent?

I don't think you can really trust evidence if the true criminal has a coin-flip chance to show innocence with it.

No it won't if it's in a properly managed landfill. This is the misconception that anti-plastic fanatics have. Plastic doesn't kill fish when it's trapped underground forever.

Straws in the ocean were dumped there by careless people. Since you care about the environment, there's no way you're using a paper straw so you can continue dropping it into the stormwater drain without the problems that you used to cause when you dropped plastic straws into the drain. The very people who choose paper straws are the ones that can't make any difference because they weren't the problem in the first place.
I wonder if it will be regulated like a golf cart.
