> a travel mode used for vacations and élites

Normal line workers everywhere have to travel for business and don't have any choice about it. These people aren't travelling for fun and aren't elite by any stretch of the imagination.
Can't be, these are meetings at disruptive tech innovators! /s
Hard data on all the evil that Amazon is presumably doing. What are all these evil things that makes Amazon so horrible?
> Android devices can advertise in the background but they can't scan reliably, they can do this for a short period of time enforced by the Android time limits on apps running in the background and possibly manufacturer specific power savings measures.

Since Android 8.0 there are no time limits for background scanning if you're calling startScan() with a PendingIntent. It's not 100% reliable, particularly on devices which aren't on stock Android as you mention, but it works reasonably well.
I have printed instructions explaining how to access my password vault app, the name of a friend who is knowledgeable enough to follow those instructions (family might not), and a file called “People to notify after my death.txt” with email addresses of people who aren’t likely to find out any other way. The instructions and a printed copy of the email addresses are kept alongside my printed will.

In your case, I think the same thing would work for giving about what to do with certain accounts.
The current trend not to include the name of or a link to the article subject is annoying and should stop.
They would have had tool fatigue :)
The Problem with Using Bluetooth for Contact Tracing
Any chance I could find out about satellites flying above my home town through this? Perhaps a quick help guide could help explain how it works.

It would be cool to see what kind of sensor data is available from my garden.
It made me giggle, which I assume was the point.
I would think cities already have the data, as they have to do safety inspections on their trees, take them into account when doing street renovations, report on the ‘greenness’ of the city, etc.

Opening up the data isn’t that costly, and fits “Open Data” policies. Apps around this often are third party.
None of this. Correct a deficiency immediately but casually if that's what's appropriate for the severity.

"Asking to understand" is toxic and passive-aggressive. I have a hard time imagining a worse management technique than to put someone on the defensive without even telling them what the conversation is about. This is the opposite of openness and transparency and it is what is killing work culture.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think it's run by the same people as it was back then. It just stuck in my mind a particularly nasty thing to do so I never went back.

Mine is only really used as a NAS (file serving of smb/cifs mostly), not as a media server.

It runs FreeNAS (works "out of the box"), which does have media server capabilities and many people apparently use them. I just have no real need for media server stuff personally. :)

This is all the stuff launched by Ariane rockets, or is it related to a single space program?
The WHO used to recommend 1 meter and in Australia it's still 1.5 meters. These are just guidelines. In the end, a little distance reduces the chance of transmission and more distance reduces it more. Droplet transmission can occur at much larger distances than 2 meters, it just becomes exceedingly unlikely, much like it becomes more unlikely at 2 meters versus 1 meter.
That’s funny, but it has me wondering what recipes typically look like for mass produced food.
>There are "technical" parts of the description that do not make sense -- why is your "phone model number" important, Covid-19 doesn't care. Why is that data being collected?

Off the cuff, I would think it would be useful to give some idea of the Bluetooth range of the device being used? There may be performance changes or mitigations needed for whatever it is they're planning to allow this to work?
Really? You are going to split those hairs?

I look to cities like London with awe and respect - that they have managed to keep so much old trees around. I get so frustrated at the local city and country level.

It takes minutes to fell down a tree that took centuries to grow. That there are any old trees around is a sign of persistently maintained high values.
> Race condition, in terms of a computer programming, is a bug where two pieces of code cause an error if executed concurrently.

This article makes the common mistake of saying that a race condition is inherently a bug.

A race condition just means that observable program behaviour is dependent on the interleaving of two tasks. A race condition is only a bug if you don't want one of the possible interleavings.

You can often find great performance optimisations by working out how to work with race conditions rather than disallowing them.

The really nice thing of Symfony framework is database schema mapping and migrations, which have compatibility with numerous database systems and provides abstraction layer [0], that among many options of interfaces have quite handy YAML-formatted schema mapping [1]. Nothing extraordinary these days but it is really stable and simple to use.

Sonic Pi is a friendly Ruby face on the Supercollider engine, so the family resemblance is no coincidence. I'm not sure what a universal API would look like, but you can easily build Sonic Pi sketches to take in things like OSC or MIDI from other programs or peripherals.
5/6 sounds interesting to me. On the one hand Nintendo is the IP holder of the original ROM, so they would be the only ones allowed to legally download it if I understand it correctly. On the other hand the ROM was modified and contains a header which was made by someone else. So, to that part they don't hold the rights to download it? Or is it okay, because it's a derivative of their work?
It does now but it's possible it was bought before that time.
Nice read, thanks! Was planning on giving Magento a try.

Really wonder what's going to happen to the Magento platform? Do you think Adobe's going to merge it with the product suite at some point?
Give me an example from history where everyday 'papers please' has worked out well.

There are many reasons to challenge broad authoritarian policy. Don't pollute the dialog with anti-vaxers, that shuts down a completely legitimate conversation that should happen in a healthy society.

Accepting wide-spread social tracking unchallenged is worrisome. I should not have to explain to intelligent minds why. The paths you open up when you allow something like social compliance tracking and scoring are just terrifying. Way more terrifying for our children than the immediate health problems.
>>We have some backup files, but it doesn’t enough, we’ve never planned to have an automatic backup on Google Cloud because we’ve never thought about this situation is occurring today

Many companies are going to have learn this lesson the hard way, time after time see stories of companies under the impression that cloud == no need for backups.. its the cloud why would you need to back things up

This way of thinking will burn many many companies, even worse when you use a SaaS product that has no ability to export data so you are locked in... those companies are screwed
Dude, you just got to get the fuck out of Silicon Valley. Tech in general has been raided by finance douches. You need to find a medium sized, profitable company somewhere not in california, new york, or florida, and go work there. You can mentor people and enjoy your life outside work and generally explore tech as you please.
Some people have allergies or chronic coughs. They should implement temperature checks at the very least, or better yet, mandatory testing for the virus like Emirates is doing for all of their flights.
Why? It seems short-sighted because it increases regular smoking. Plus no one cares about the ban. You can literally get away using a juul (or other device) on an airplane discretely.
Some high level observations on their design:

They use Bluetooth identifiers that last for 24 hours, which breaks Wifi/Bluetooth MAC rotation and allows 3rd parties to track users.

They require a connection to be established between each pair of devices and need to ping the same device again and again to check you are still in proximity. That's going to be alot of wakeups for each person you come into contact with.

They broadcast a country code in plaintext, so any international deployment would reveal the probable nationality of nearby users.

It requires NCSC / the NHS to hold a master key which they can use to reveal the identifier of any individual using the system. I think that poses a real risk of mission creep, where they start using contact tracing data for criminal investigations etc.

They also make a number of misleading claims about the decentralised solutions being deployed by Estonia, Germany, Switzerland, etc:

Claim 1: Decentralised systems without authenticated diagnosis reports can't manage malicious notifications. This is true, but all the proposed decentralised systems use authenticated diagnosis reports. Interestingly, its totally unclear how they plan to manage "anonymous" unauthenticated reports in their centralised systems. How do you distinguish between a supermarket worker or a nurse visiting homes who came into contact with a lot of people and a relay attack? Surely any centralised post-hoc verification is going to be highly invasive to individual privacy?

Claim 2: Decentralised systems introduce delays in the reporting of symptoms. This just isn't true.

Claim 3: Second Order Contact Tracing isn't possible in a decentralised system. Again, just not true. It is actually easier in a decentralised system than in a centralised one, where it carries much more difficult privacy trade-offs.
I consider this harmful.
HEPA filters really help you get pristine air quality.

Large commercial buildings and aircraft have them. More expensive cars, sometimes. For homes, I think most people don't have it. However, I imagine it might be more popular in some colder areas with central A/C units.

I have purchased two Philips purifiers...

In October, I bought the AC3259. We use it in the bedroom. It's great, and you can use the Air Matters application on your phone to see how the air quality of your place is. At the end of March, I bought the Philips AC3829/10. It's a purifier + humidifier unit and is more practical, and I use it in the living room.

Our apartment is only about 78 square meters, so using both is a little overkill, but we have a fluffy dog, so definitely, it's making a difference to our health.

We (two people + dog) spent most of the time in the living room these days, and we have to clean the purifier in the bedroom every day, but the one in the living room only about a week or so.

I'd recommend getting a large purifier with a HEPA filter to anyone concerned about their health these days.
Without the bailout, if airlines made schedule/service decisions based purely on financial drivers, it would have been pretty bad. Lots of places might have been left with no flights.

It's possible the amounts and/or split between grants and loans wasn't right...but some kind of bailout was needed to avoid chaos.
Bankruptcy is only really bad to whoever is the "bagholder". This pretty much always includes share-holders, and then depending on the extent of the event, may also include less-secured debt-holders.

But you already had a brick so not a lot to lose esp if you are expecting Apple just tossing the mainboard when it’s returned anyway ;-)

It’s a known issue that a MacOS restore can upset the T2.

But yeah, if you can live without the iMac while Apple do their thing there is a valid argument to say “why waste a tech’s time researching and attempting a fix when Apple will cover the cost of sorting it.”
And are not individual workers "profit-seeking entities"

btw I do own Apple shares so what about my rights not to have those expropriated.

Flattening the curve doesn't reduce the total number of infections over the entire period of the pandemic. It just reduces the rate at which people get infected so that resources can be manageable [1]. This does reduce the total number of deaths, however, as more resources are available to help the infected.

Baltimore also has crime crisis. I think just like how people are willing to give up some freedom in the COVID crisis, people in Baltimore are making a similar choice wrt crime.
The "huge controversy" was academia's version of what happens every day on Reddit and HN: a highly technical theoretical disagreement buried in a flamewar fueled by sparring bruised egos, and a media that only highlights the most antagonistic voices.
And did it stop because people felt bad about themselves doing so or because some people were pointing fingers at them?

Look, I absolutely agree that something can be and often is immoral, unethical and "blameworthy" before it is illegal, and maybe my non-native English is a bit clunky.

But I do not care about having the moral high ground. I care about continued bad behavior having consequences, society protecting itself from bad actors. This can indeed be done trough various means (non exhaustive):

- Create incentives to act in a more desired way

- Call for boycotts and shunning them socially to try to force them to change

- Change the environment so bad behavior no longer provides benefits

- Create / update law

- Actually enforce the existing law

- Having increasingly big protest movements up to revolution / civil war scale

I'm fine with any combination of those depending on context and/or as different steps of escalation. I just think a bunch of people voicing anger at corporations on the internet doesn't do anything and, on the other hand, in a lot of places the situation is not bad enough to justify violence yet. So I lean towards a middle way using the instruments of these supposed democracies to change things.
Thanks a lot. This gives me a good starting point. Appreciate it.
Don't look at js then.

It's a pretty interesting space. Pilots can make good money with seniority, but if they switch to another airline, they start at the very bottom again.

On the other hand, they do have collective leverage, as airlines can't quickly replace them.
I'm betting the emulators will use this. They develop against the ROMs without permission too, after all.

Of course they won't incorporate unlicensed copyrighted things from the leak in their own code, but they don't need to.
Please do check it out. Supercollider is like walking into a fully-stocked machine shop with a comprehensive 9000-step guide to building your own car. Sonic Pi is like a go-kart with the engine already running. It's very approachable, and with Supercollider on the back end, incredibly capable.
Two things. Effort and support. You can probably wrap BLAS in any language and make a framework out of that. With some more effort you can add support for GPUs and make your framework much faster. But why would you when most of that is already available? Some might really hate Python but learning Python just for the framework would probably be easier then making a ML framework for the language you like. And Python wasn't even dominant until Tensorflow. Torch used to be a good competetor.

Many people make the mistake of promoting the language instead of the framework.

And the next thing is support. When some big company releases a ML framework and starts using it for themselves people start using it for their own projects. It's mostly because people think that it will last longer then a month. There were lots of dead python ML projects before Tensorflow.

So if you can get a big company to release a ML framework for your favourite language it will surely gain at least some market share.

The language almost doesn't matter. I say almost because big companies are more likely to choose popular languages.
You can't snoop on traffic between hosts in the same VPC. Here is a good video explaining why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qln2u1Vr2E&t=1592s. The tl;dr; is that your guest OS (the EC2 instance) is not connected to the physical layer 2 network. The host OS hypervisor is and when it receives a packet from the physical NIC, if that packet is not directed to the guest OS then it won't be passed to it. So the NIC on the guest OS (your EC2 instance) will never even see the packets that are not intended for it. Of course this gets slightly more complicated because AWS added some tools for traffic mirroring. So theoretically someone with the right access could setup a mirror to a host they control in the VPC and sniff the traffic that way. But if someone were able to pull that off then you're likely f'ed either way.
I think the movie you're looking for is Enemy of the State.
Guns rights advocates are less likely to live in cities, so this doesn't affect them. Besides, the people in cities are the ones who commonly vote to take away gun rights, so it could be a case of "this is what they get for continually voting to take rights away".
I'm actually eager to use this and write an app to finally migrate all my messages from Android stuck in an xml since I didn't use Apple's migration tool initially.
I've had former manager "correct" my openness to external partners. In those few cases, they never questioned why I had an open exchange, what I get from such or any explanation of benefits from closing down communication. Feedback and judgement may come from wrong or misunderstood context, so sometimes, someone might later admit a different approach was prudent.

Professional behaviour doesn't necessarily mean being a dick or hoarding information. In my book, this is playing the organization worse off. You yourself might be better off, to the detriment of everyone else around you. This I view as unprofessional, becoming of some external consultants, not regular employees in a supportive organization.

Feedback should not name people. You might name roles or groups instead, preferably just state events as they factually happened, without pointing blame or fingers. What happened happened, and now we deal with that. Just assume people are learning on the job. Some people take things too hard by default, so instead reassure them the company is coping as a business.

Sometimes, information is illegal to share, or when personal or too much detail, it is oversharing. But in general, sharing information is a safety net. People work better and do better, when provided enough context to thrive. To know the difference, you must put yourself in other people's roles, what they should know and not. If you overshare technical details, some people will become uneasy, so you share what they are comfortable knowing. Some people abuse information, so they need less information to abuse.

To "correct" someone, first make sure you know their intentions and why they did as they did. It's not about being right or wrong always. Treat people as you'd want to be respected. Assume that, given new information, people continually learn or casually, mention good learning resources. Your best efforts won't make others learn. The best teachers let other people draw their own conclusions.

Empathy
I don't support this action from the leakers but clearly there is a large amount of interest in this information.

Now would be the time for Nintendo to seriously consider open sourcing some of this stuff so they have a chance to put it out there legally and in a way that benefits them, instead of the current situation where it only benefits shady outfits selling aftermarket raspberry pis loaded with illegal ROMs, that were never going to partner with them anyway.
Couldn't an emulator use a module as the core, and leave it up to the user to find the 'illegal' emulator core and use it? Kind of like how you need a copyrighted BIOS or ROM to use certain emulators, but of course those files can't be distributed with the emulator.

Popcorn apparently, if the MPAA is correct about the source code we now can't read, specifically helps users pirate movies.

To avoid cranking the discussion up to 11, let me recast your analogy to, "if people break into houses with crowbars, why would you blame the crowbar company?"

I think under the MPAA's argument, Popcorn is like a crowbar sold with a GPS device that finds unoccupied houses to break into.
More likely selection bias for people that comment on threads like these. I’ve worked in finance and vc backed tech for my whole career. I don’t agree with any of the sentiments expressed in the threads like these.

Something called 'non-violent communications' might be in order. Start with an observation - "You show up to standup 5 minutes late". Then a personal reaction - "I'm frustrated". Third, the goal - "I want our group to move forward efficiently". Finally, the 'ask' - "Can you show up on time for each standup?"
