The fact that debate is necessary does not make all debate useful.

The prerequisite for debate to become useful is that all participants involved have to try to provide information and reasoning, and then try to incorporate new information and counter-arguments into their thinking.

Bill Gates does this. I try to do it. I look forward to your taking advantage of the opportunities in front of you to do it as well.

The author doesn't seem to understand that not all exceptional situations are errors, which suggests he is a complete newbie to exception handling, which explains why he didn't propose the word "exception" instead of "condition".
The entire point is that it "triggers the libtards", which seems to be the only goal of a select group of right wing people. They don't stop to think WHY people get so upset when they violate social distancing, or they genuinely believe this to be a mild situation, despite every warning otherwise.

These people's entire lives are based around being contrarian for contrarian's sake
That idea assumes consciousness as emergent or made out of the energy and matter we perceive. While the content of our experiences obviously is, I'm not so sure about consciousness "itself". I personally feel it's self-evident the observer must be outside and cannot be made of what is being perceived. Like the dreamer is not made of dream "stuff", the gamer is not made out of video game code, the mirage in the mirror is not the mirror itself, etc...

So yes, "immortality" of "that which is conscious" is a given imho, because you cannot possibly be aware of non-existence (see: the thought experiment of quantum immortality). On the other hand, immortality of the individual and all its facets seems impossible given the constant change/entropy of everything.
why would he or anyone else. they haven't exactly got a history of being open to researchers. the only way to deal with them is by either dropping 0days or selling vulns to whoever pays for them. that's totally justified given how ignorant and apologetic people are about this tire fire of a company

I'm the only one using my NextDNS configuration, and run about 100,000 queries a day. Granted, I have IPv4 and IPv6 setup, so each request is duplicated for both. If I only used IPv4, it would be closer to 50,000 each day.

They determine which configuration to use for you by the endpoint you've configured, whether it's the app or using their specific endpoint.

This is great, there seems to be genuine motivation within the project to get this implemented.
My first experience with Zoom was the installer opening, telling me it was going to perform a pre-install check to see if the software could be installed, then immediately closing without explanation. It turns out it installed everything immediately without even telling me. This immediately set off alarm bells and made it feel like it was malware.
That seems to be correct. It triggers when you enter the online help function of the app.

If it were a dead man’s switch it would trigger if you failed to do so after a certain amount of time.

This is what worries me. This disease isn't as bad as it could be, but will reset expectations. Go in too hard and next time, with a similar disease but with a higher utilisation and it's a mess.
Patrick here. Agreed. In the initial outreach I gave some context and asked to meet for coffee. Here it is:

"Hi Adam,

My name is Patrick Rivera and we have not met, but since hearing about MissionU on the Rich Roll podcast I've been thinking about how MissionU has the opportunity to improve the future of education.

I've spent the last two years trying to get an internship in management consulting but was repeatedly told I didn't have a chance because I don't go to a target school. Although I eventually succeeded, I realized there are millions of people today that don't have pedigree, but do have potential. I think MissionU would be a grreat fit for me because I'm interested in empowering these people to develop skills needed to maximize their potential

Additionally, I heard you say on Lewis Howes' podcast that one of MissionU's challenges is identifying cities to expand into. I've attached some recommendations based on my research.

Would love to connect over coffee to discuss what you're working on at MissionU and see if there's any way I can help as I'll be in SF until Thanksgiving.

Thanks in advance for your time!"

Why are startups born this way? Why optimize for growth and CTR etc. Is there a world in which security and privacy focus (maybe sprinkle in, dare I say, social good) could be funded from the start?

These companies presumably all pivot on going public and making a crapton of money: couldn't they anticipate the need to respect the users longer term as opposed to selling them like commodity to investors and advertisers?

The worst types are the ones that advertise how good and amazing they are, and when the "tide goes out they are found swimming naked" as Buffett might say.
To summarize the research, the idea is to use X-rays like ultrasound: visualizing the elastic properties of the target instead of the density, but at higher resolution than ultrasound. They were able to create a 2-D image of particles in a gel in the lab.

Keep in mind that this is physic research, not medical research. They show that this imaging is possible. There are a bunch of difficult steps to making this medically useful. First, it is currently 2-D, not 3-D. It also needs to move from creating an image in the lab to a repeatable process, and then turned into a medical equipment product.

TL;DR: This is a lab demonstration of a new imaging technique in a physics journal. The title is entirely speculative. Abstract and paywalled paper here: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.35848/1882-0786/ab7e06...

No. Homebrew sends a per-installation unique identifier to a third party (Google), tracking your location across different IPs, whether you want it to or not.

Popcon is first-party, and is entirely opt-in. It doesn’t send anything unless you want it to.

If your children know how to break the filters, and they wouldn't get in trouble for doing so, then I retract my statements.

This is not a fair comparison, you are legally obliged to wear a seatbelt in the car. I would not drive my adult friends around if they refused to wear their seatbelt.

ICANN wouldn't sell you .google because we already own it. They wouldn't sell you .cocacola because that's an unambiguous brand name that would only go to the rightful TM holder. They would sell you .coke depending on your use case; that's a generic word that has plenty of non-brand meanings, particularly in mining and refining: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coke

But ICANN would have no qualms whatsoever about selling a TLD just because some other people claimed authority over it they didn't actually have and started misusing it.
If they could just fix it, it seems like they must be storing user credentials insecurely. At least, I can't figure out how to fix something like this without at least a password change for all users.

Any time something gets this sort of massive usage boost it is going to be targeted by security researchers.

The best way to weather it is to write secure software that doesn't do stupid thngs (like reinventing sudo without protections) and not to slimy things (like trying to deceive your users about your lack of end-to-end encryption). If you choose to do those things instead, people are going to talk about it.

Technology for remote monitoring of patient vital signs and medical device status is already widely deployed. Most wards in modern hospitals feed all that data to a central station so that a single nurse can monitor multiple patients simultaneously. However healthcare providers still have to directly touch patients several times per day for cleaning and treatment, especially in the ICU.

This is better than a hash table for membership testing. As for compared to table scan depends on your key size and number of keys.

This algorithm means you could easily have more than 10k especially for larger keys, and still likely reside in one of the cache levels. Heck a lot CPUs cant hold 10k items in L1. Like for 64 bit numbers thats 80Kb. Let alone for something like UUIDs or other larger sparse keys.

Also main memory access is aprox. delay of a few thousand cycles. Iterating a table of 10,000 items is going to be close to that. A hit in L1 is about 3 cycles. So a table scan is possibly slower or close to equal since a super scalar cpu has multiple execution ports.

Soon as you start getting any larger its easily gonna be slower to do a table scan.

This also gives you O(1) queries and being smaller means that table is more likely to reside in cache for any given look up. This smaller memory footprint is a great boon for any hash algorithm that involves look up.
This is funny, but I don't think the issue should be so quickly dismissed.

The machine must already be compromised for this vulnerability to be useful, but doesn't necessarily mean it isn't a problem. A good security model uses layers to reduce the impact of successful attacks. This vulnerability potentially enables an attacker to escalate their privileges, bypassing some of those layers and compromising the machine further.

This article probably overstates the problem (maybe don't use "doom" in the headline next time, even though it rhymes) and there are plenty of examples of worse vulnerabilities, but that doesn't excuse this one.
I appreciate people like you, who see a need that someone has, and takes the initiative to help them.

The project matters, but less so. Being a person who is willing to help others is what makes the world go round.

I have no need for BI software myself, but I appreciate the fire you have inside of you and wish you good luck if you take this further.
