> They clearly understand the implication and the ownership of accounts

Clearly understand what "implication"? From what I can see, all Atlassian knows is that there is an account with two email addresses attached to it. They have no way of knowing which email belongs to the "right" owner of the account. That's something the two parties involved--the two owners of the two emails--need to work out between them, and then give Atlassian a common response.
They'd have to take responsibility for real metrics and a way to measure their performance. That's not going to happen at the government level.
Or most open source non-windows software work. So many tools run great (or only run) under Linux, and dev tooling for these projects is also heavily Linux-centric. Often you might be able to get a package working under Windows, but support is thin and it's prone to breakage. Easier to just run it under Linux in a VM, like what WSL2 is doing.
So, should I not care about that so much, and write programs without free()'ing allocated memory?

If OSes do that, why not standardize that in C?
The Linux multimedia story improves significantly if you avoid Nvidia GPU hardware. My work desktop (AMD Radeon) and laptop (Intel HD Graphics) work fine, and perform as the hardware should.
But why could not you do the same before? Even before WSL there was MSYS, which IMO is great, unless you need to compile a C program, that directly uses Linux headers.
I use it all the time. I develop software for Windows but being able to use various Linux utilities and software is super convinient.

Many of them have ports to Windows but it's just easier when it's all already available. Some days ago I needed to run some penetration test software and while supposedly I should be able to download the code myself and build in Windows, just installing using apt is a lot easier.

The portion of tax on the building serves to discourage density. What's your point?
Per my other comment, SBCL's defaults still cause (= (- (+ 0.1 0.2) 0.3) 0) → T. I guess they're technically floats (or at the very least not rationals) given that (= 0.3 3/10) → NIL.
What are you talking about? You're talking about implementation. This has nothing to do with assembly at all. Assembly is not a magic language that offers instant efficiency. 'Constant factor' is entirely irrelevant to this discussion. There's nothing stopping an engineer from implementing equally inefficient data structures/algorithms in assembler as they would in a higher-level language. It is true that if the engineer understands the problem domain very well, and the project requirements are amenable, the possibility certainly exists for them to solve the problem with highly efficient assembly. This is true for almost anything. However, it exists at the cost of extra development effort with no real guaranteed benefit.
Wework could become huge as more people switch to remote work, I think a lot of people are missing the long-term bet here.
The specter of this sort of violation hangs over the shoulder of every internet user now - the loss of an account on a service like Facebook, GitHub, or Trello could be life-altering. Our digital selves are all at risk of becoming The Trial's protagonist.

Do we have any protection besides moving to a new platform that's not big enough to betray its users yet?
This is similar to what I've done recently with a project of mine using Django + Elm (https://github.com/ereadingtool/ereadingtool).

I wrote an adapter of sorts, between Django and the frontend, which is a Django base template specifically for the pages loading compiled Elm/JavaScript, that turns Django view context data into a JavaScript data structure that gets fed into the Elm code. In this way, the frontend JavaScript is initialized and ready to go without more page fetches. If I need to pass some extra data to it, I can simply add it in to get_context_data().

I like the idea of re-using everything Django has to offer but also being able to pass a few parameters into Elm and have it handle the view side. Where I get into trouble is when Elm and Django code both have to agree on data formats and schemas, but this is more my fault for not strongly abstracting the API.
This interesting to think about, but truth is a lot of at-risk people still need to be out there. Take all the workers for critical infrastructure, businesses, hospitals, etc. They need "the outside" to be as clean as possible too.

Consider an emergency, where someone who wants to shelter needs to go somewhere (say, the hospital, airport, etc), or receive someone at their house (say a doctor, technician, etc). Or consider groceries and other needs that come from the outside but are brought to people sheltering. You want "the outside" to be as clean as possible in those cases too.

Perfect isolation from the outside world isn't possible, but with a general shelter-in-place, there's fewer chances that "the outside" is virulent. Very similar to herd-immunity and vaccines.

When you did this, was the Trello account used for just your work with that employer? Or for both work and your personal stuff? Or just your personal stuff?

[Edit: I see from your response elsewhere in this discussion that it's the second of the options above. I'll respond further in that subthread.]
Well, that was when individual muskets were inaccurate and the coordination issues with commanding thousands of men using drums and flags meant a large mass of soldiers firing in sync could scare the opposing side into fleeing and allow calvary to mop up. And before that, you had knights with plate armor that could could shrug off most bladed weapons on a battlefield that would have destroyed peasant conscript without armor. Warfare's evolved from elite units that could tank almost anything you can throw at them, to using masses of men to soak up more damage than the opposing side, to using cover and squad tactics to evade machine gun fire, to trying to be so stealthy that the enemy can't even fire on you at all. This progression has resulted from modern technology making offense superior to defense in every way. Makes you wonder if there will be a technological progression in the future that begins to give defense an edge over offense.
The lockdown was a reasonable decision at the time when there was a belief that we had a ventilator gap, because nobody bothered to read the papers written by Chinese doctors on how ventilators don't work (66% to 90% mortality.)

Now we know it was a mistake. And we should re-evaluate the information we have and end the lockdown.

It was a mistake because we (the US) still don't have adequate testing or tracing capabilities, and no cure in sight.
> The death rate is 0.5%

You can't know that without testing the whole population, or at least getting some controls.
I'm not qualified to consider the physics ramifications of what's presented here, but the graph rewriting rules are really interesting and almost seem glaringly obvious in retrospect. I don't know if there's prior work with them but I can think of a few immediate applications for synthetic data generation that would benefit from this approach.
I use Docker on macOS daily for work. I love it, and am grateful for it, but the experience is NOTHING like using Docker on Linux. Docker for macOS runs in a virtual machine, and requires dedicating RAM to the daemon. You aren’t directly using the host OS’ kernel either, which can lead to wonky behavior, especially in regards to networking (IME).
Ever since Docker became a popular tech, VMware has had little choice: I need docker for my job, so I can't use VMware. That doesn't get them the dollars they want.
When I say renewables are cheap, I mean in comparison to NEW nuclear plants. Of course nuclear plants that already exist, where the sunk costs of construction can be ignored, will be more competitive. But France would spend less money building solar and wind instead of building new nuclear plants.

There is little electrolytic hydrogen today because hydrogen is mostly produced from chemical reforming of natural gas and other fossil fuels. Of course, this ignores the cost of CO2 emission from that process.

Batteries are already being installed in the real world, at very large scale. What exactly prevents them from being installed at even larger scale? And their costs are dropping rapidly, just as the cost of wind turbines and PV modules did.

In the days before accurate rapid fire weapons, the key to victory was pumping out more lead per second than the other squad. The only way to do that was discipline, training, and keeping cool under fire.
Frankly, I believe its a reaction to the genuine decline of journalism ethics, and the main stream media alignment with the left wing.

I suppose that a lot of economic activity isn't really essential and can be shut down without problems. E.g., cruise ships no longer sailing, or making gold watches. Lack of these kinds of goods and services is unlikely to do any damage to cognitive functions.

It would be interesting to refine "poverty" to identify exactly what the minimum healthy level of "consumption" for a typical human is going to be. It doesn't seem to me that it's very high: food, clean water, safe housing, a bit of electricity for cooking etc., and ideally connectivity to the wider world, e.g., a computer with an internet connection. I suppose you could say that that's actually quite a lot, and brings you up to Western industrial society standards. But I suspect that with an industrial economy, all of that can be provided to the entire population with relatively little effort, e.g., if people were working a couple of days a week.

Any medical requirements would be on top of that of course.

It’s possible I could have and I just wasn’t sufficiently in the know about which tools to use. I hadn’t used MSYS. I’ve taken my current workflow so far as to even use nix as my primary package manager. Would this have been easily possible before? I ask in earnest. My setup right now is such that even mildly arcane things like that just seem to work for the most part.

Indonesia is only testing at the rate of 116 tests per million people. You only find what you measure. When the rate of testing is that low you can't make any claims about the true coronavirus death rate in Indonesia:

And it hasn't helped that the Indonesian government has been deliberately withholding coronavirus information from the country:

The thing about the ping is that everyone that can hear it gets the benefit of that ping. So you are 100% giving away your position with a ping. Nowadays, you want to stay silent, so you use passive sonar. A very long tail is trailed behind the sub with lots of microphones listening. They've done it so long, they know what all sorts of things sound like. Man made objects likes subs and surface ships, airplanes flying above the water, rocks sliding, crabs crawling, etc.
That's not going to happen. Extra memory channels are very expensive die-wise. Nvidia and AMD achieve these rates with hbm, which has very wide buses (4096 bits) and short traces from stacking. I can't see any way CPU memory will compete until they move to hbm. Keep in mind gddr6 is available in GPUs now, and is faster than ddr5, but much slower than hbm.
I just used VirtualBox by Oracle with Linux Mint. Seems less buggier and I can share files with Dropbox, etc.
You think it's possible to "eradicate" poverty?

Poverty is relative, not absolute. Even if you gave everyone in the country $50,000 in UBI, you'd still have poverty, because you'd have people at the bottom of the income range who can't afford what others can.

The only way to possibly eradicate it is if you made everyone equal - same take home pay, no inheritance, no monetary gifts, etc. Everyone has the same net income at the end of the day.
He said macOS not FreeBSD ;)
Wait, I don't understand what your tool does, but it sounds really interesting. So what will this $100/year service provide specifically?
Just like on Mac OS it runs in a VM.
What about macOS itself?
Not really though. That google demo looks like a single-pass feed-forward neural network trained to perform style transfer. The textures and colors get replaced while overall content is stayed the same.

This project seems to work by finding your image in the latent space of a GAN model, and then re-synthesizing a new image from that vector.

It's more like generating a whole new image which is targeting the overall look of an existing image, while jointly having optimized the generated image to look like it comes from a set of renaissance art.

Edit: on second thought, this tool might be running too quickly to be doing optimization to find an image in latent space. It might just be fancy vanilla style transfer done nicely. Hard to tell.
Nobody hates Jim Simons.
I haven't used all variants of VMs but my experience with VMs is very different from WSL2. For example:

* Smooth set up. Don't have to install some large commercial 800MB MSI like VMware workstation, download some Linux image, go through partitioning of file system etc.

* Well integrated. I can open up a terminal and it acts as any other window in my system (meaning I don't get the window in a window effect as you get with a new VM).

* My file system is mapped automatically. No need to set up Shared Folders or whatever manually.

* Better startup perf. WSL starts in a second on my computer. Never had the same experience with full VMs. Even if I use something like alpine just starting VMware or VirtualBox takes a lot longer than starting WSL.

Saying it is like any other VM seems just incorrect. Saying it didn't work out seems even more misguided.
Ah, um, well... I don't actually have one in hand. There have to be some (I assume), but I can't point you to one. My point was, Krugman may have a response, but don't think of it as a steelman response.
Windows has Windows Terminal and PowerShell, too. Apple and Linux also have PowerShell.

wtf i love microsoft, now.
Agreed.

To concentrate on the positive for a moment, if you ever get there, don't miss the Dracula hall (Deady?) and there's the most beautiful ancient and massive lounge inside Gerlinger (?). Johnson Hall (from Animal House) is attractive. And Streisinger (?) evokes Escher in a pleasing way.

All of these are quite old, but I'm almost as.

My understanding is that there has been literally no evidence to suggest that covid-19 is anything other than a particularly virulent and dangerous zoonotic disease, which shouldn’t be surprising given the originating environment.

First of all: every modern version of languages you mentioned has some basic FP primitives; second: most of the time, it's all about the logic (algorithm) and data transformations. Yes, sometimes, it feels weird, like trying to glue every single hair back onto your chin after you shaved your beard off. And of course, the approach has certain limitations - you can't use macros, you have to be careful with recursion and lazy evaluations, etc. And it only works for small problems, and I'm not talking about maintaining big projects that way.
Those are sometimes called "stealth" torps. They run quiet, and slow, so they don't want the noisy launch procedure. But they also don't do 50 knots. On the other end of the scale there are the rocket torpedoes, really missiles that fly underwater at speeds over 200 knots. You might hear them coming but won't be able to do much about them.

The number one issue I have with a lot of finance newsletters is the lack of historical context so I think it's extremely valuable you featured historical data right next to the daily data to give context on how small daily moves actually are (minus this latest bout of volatility). I think that has a lot of overlooked behavioral value, why not also feature 20 & 30y data, considering this is the time series many young investors will need to consider for retirement?

I find myself often googling to check S&P futures so this email would remove that step for me. Might also be cool if the email had other features like Tax Loss Harvest notifications when an ETF you're watching drops more than X%.

I did some research on the finance newsletter space myself a while back, here's some of my favorites I ran across:

• https://capitalminded.com (more long term index fund focused)

• https://verdadcap.com (more nerdy quant/value stuff)

• Matt Levine's Money Stuff (couldn't find the sign up link but it's always great)

• https://www.epsilontheory.com (somewhat annoying but also interesting at times)

• https://www.aqr.com/Insights/Perspectives (value/quant stuff from a billionaire hedge fund manager)

It's a resizable VHD that handles its business in the background, so I don't understand the complaint. And you can access your Linux files in Windows just fine when using WSL2. Just go to `\\wsl$`.

I searched for the sources, and all that I found is that Taiwan asked WHO more investigation and verification of China's affirmation. Taiwan did not add any study results or scientific knowledge, so had nothing to really "warn" about.

The China "results" were actually biased, so Taiwan was right to ask verification, but that's only retrospectively. At the time, there was no such certainty of their wrongdoing, especially given that they also collaborated by other means.
If this happened in my country that would breach privacy laws. It might also constitute hacking depending on what kind of administration the company does.
Problem is once Hyper-V is installed and enabled, no other VM can even be started regardless of no Hyper-V VMs actually running. This limitation does not exist on linux afaik. I have run libvirt based VMs and VirtualBox VMs at the same time on linux just fine in the past.

I disagree with almost every aspect of this post. I've never seen any evidence of your claim about binary size being the case. It's a spurious claim. There's always the possibility that a user could write slightly more efficient assembler by hand, but orders of magnitude? Maybe in the 80s this could have been correct.

Your claim about compilers using "SIMD tricks" to "get close in speed" makes no sense either. If the HLL is using SIMD instructions and this magic assembler that you're talking about isn't, how would their performance ever be equivalent?

My comment was just on the misconception of what MITM is.

That being said, I do think the article's documented report clearly demonstrated how the app was vulnerable to MITM even if the PoC didn't implement the attack all the way. And as a word of advice to the vendor, you probably don't want to train all your well meaning vulnerability researcher pals to productise their vulnerability PoCs into production quality exploits, lest they get the temptation to sell them on other types of markets...
