You can see if there is an AOSP-based ROM (like LineageOS) available. In general, unless you need some Samsung-specific software, those are better anyway since they have less bloatware/spyware since they are just plain Android.

The attack is in their image processing library, the remote exploit comes from Samsung's messages app automatically processing MMS attachments. The twitter thread said that disabling MMS auto-download [or using another MMS app?] will probably fix that, but there could be other channels that cause the library to be used.
Google Analytics doesn't do anything useful for the visitor of the website, only for the lazy administrator of the site. But the latter isn't the one giving up consent, are they?

Also it's kind of sad if you believe you can't make a useful website without having to hand over private user tracking data to Google. In fact you are using a website just like that, right now.
Second that. I would write it differently:

There is no way "school" can equalise this.

There is, but it involves identifying the high achievers and putting them on a different track. Without too much thought, this sounds great. Except in real life, you end up with kids who are late-bloomers stuck in the "average" track. Or poor kids who didn't learn to read until kindergarten stuck in the "remedial" track for life.

As a society (in the US), we haven't been willing or able to solve those problems. The closest we've come is offering a few "gifted" courses to those high achievers (or forcing parents to pay for a private education). But, at the primary school level, that's generally a few hours/week of extra instruction. And at the secondary school level, it's AP/IB courses, but we've pushed the "college for all" narrative so hard that those are now watered-down crap at a lot of schools.
~50 years ago, Buckminster Fuller called this the ‘World Game’. Its objective:

This bizarre sort of doublethink when it comes to organization is just so baffling. You seem to believe that private institutions can be as big as they want and will always run fine, but public institutions are always shit. Why? You say that people have to be left to take care of themselves- you show me a person who is truly taking care of himself without being a part of some larger organization or community and I’ll show you a naked hermit shivering in the woods. Look, I live in the United States, where we are utterly incapable of building something like high speed rail or dealing in an organized way with a pandemic, and it’s exactly this kind of thinking that got us here. There is no fundamental difference between a public and private organization, except that one is run somewhat democratically and the other is a private fiefdom. And we all have a duty to look out for each other, not just ourselves. That’s how civilization keeps itself going.

SARS, another corona virus immunity lasts for 3-4 years on average with some cases up to 11 years. So it wouldn't be surprising at all with at least 1-3 years of immunity for people who had more serious infections.
Yup. Maybe it’s time to change our measure f a successful economy. Are enough people working to generate enough stuff for people to live?
That sounds amazing. Do you have a link to the study?
Another approach would be to teach a child only one subject and base all lesson around that subject till college. For example, biology; all math examples would deal with biology, all fiction books would have something to do with bio, the classroom would be filled with biographies of people in biology, art would be based around drawings in biology.

You can do the same thing for car-mechanics, etc.

You act like the world didn't know until April, but by then China, Iran, Italy, and Spain were ablaze and people were saying by the thousands. Your government had the same information everyone else had. why did South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, and Jordan fare so well? Blame your own government for not responding fast enough and for not listening to their advisors. The blood is on their hands.

What are your favourite features about magit? I switch between Pycharm and Vs code and terminal for my git usage. I find Pycharm has a really great git blame ui that makes it easy to walk back in time and investigate changes. It lets you toggle "Annotations" next to the line number, that display the SHA. From there, you can right click > show diff, from which you can _also_ show annotations, and continue jumping back ad infinitum. Vs code has a plugin which does something similar, but I find the UX to be not as elegant (the annotations are way too wide; every option is hidden behind cryptic icons like "<<"; diffs open in new tabs, which makes things cluttered; and instead of right click menus they have really large hover menus which I find are super finicky to use). VS Code's conflict resolution is a little easier to use for me. Pycharm's approach is a little overly UI'd, whereas Vs code treats everything as text with helpful little overlays for quickly selecting one vs the other. Also when viewing local changes as a diff, Vs code's highlight change > right click > "stage selected lines" is more flexible then Pycharm which only shows a little checkmark near "chunks" of the diff for staging. Both editors also have a lovely feature that lets you highlight text and copy the GitHub link to the chunk or the entire file. Makes sharing really easy.

I use the git terminal for everything else; branching, checkouts, rebasing, pulling, pushing. Actually I use vim for interactive rebasing because it's fast/quick there.
Completely agree that prompting permission should be the norm. Sadly, if Firefox did this, people would just move off firefox, since "it's broken".

And obviously Chrome would never do this kind of thing, since it hurts Google.
Thank you. I do like to write. I'm also really happy when people read what I write. It looks like we have a lot in common based on what you've written there. If you'd ever feel like trying out pair programming (remotely), give me a shout!

Anyone could have told you that. Or rather, anyone could have told you that if we make some attempt at 'slowing the curve' in order to try and keep the number of ICU-requiring cases below the number of available ICU beds then it will take years if not decades to achieve herd immunity.

You could just go for broke, let everyone catch it at once, and RIP 5-10% of your population. Even then it'll take most of a year to run its course and that year will be much, MUCH worse than just not being able to go to the pub or get a manicure.

TBH, I wouldn't blame GDPR for this. Here's a good analogy of what's tracking companies are doing:

- Companies dump used batteries into the sea.
- Dumping batteries into the sea is banned.
- Companies start dumping batteries into lakes.

This basically shit on the law, and just though of another way to keep disrespecting consumer's privacy.

While the murder was a horrible event, this article really contributes nothing and makes no interesting point.
I'm not particularly convinced by the content of the article. But there is a glaring typo I hope the author fixes:

> 2. They do not know how WHY their copywriting formula works
A curious kid can pace themselves along with a the rest just fine. Are the topics taught too long for your talent? Then dig deeper in each. Say, you're learning about magnetism in physics class but you learn the requirements in half the time allocated. Then textbooks usually contain small print optional advanced topics or references, you can read additional stuff online maybe ask the teacher for further direction. Any topic has almost vast depth with specialists spending their career studying just a tiny section of it. You can never exhaust a topic. Don't just skip ahead to the next lesson as that will make things boring but engage each more deeply.

The reason to stuff everyone in one box is socialization. A group of students subjected to shared experiences will develop community and solidarity easier than every individual student bouncing in their own special way in the system.

It has even been observed that people can bond over a shared meal better than if everyone eats their own different food.

Overall a huge huge part of school is about socializing, with fellow students or against fellow students, obeying and rebelling against teachers, being honest or cheating to copy your homework, the dynamics of bullying and protecting from bullies, snitching on others or lying to protect minor wrongdoers, feeling guilt when you made the wrong decision, feeling proud for the right decision, discovering the difference of rules and morals, of friendship and togetherness and betrayal and loyalty, of acting tough or showing compassion, of romance and heartbreak, etc. So many lessons that aren't taught by teachers explicitly or asked on a test. But these add up to a stable individual later on who can draw from a rich well of experiences for later reference, even in adulthood. You can do a lot of low risk experimentation at that age. If people become atomized, dropped into a class full of almost strangers in each subject, there is no way to develop group dynamics of the above sort. Maybe you can do some of it with your sports team but you spend much less time with them than with a shared class.

What mindset? That preserving life is more palatable than making money? I'm ok with that. I'd rather be unemployed than dead.
This is also how the school houses of old worked. You'd have all ages present since the population was so small, and the older kids would teach the younger kids while also doing their own studies.

This was a big help for socializing skills and empathy, since you were no longer segregated by age or sex and were exposed to many age groups with their own challenges throughout your early schooling.
US media and some of right wing European media is charging against WHO because they have to blame someone. That way the can put all the death people numbers on WHO and not take any responsibility fro their handling of the situation.
Sure, almost everything on this timeline:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organization%27s_...

They setup a response team within a day or two of hearing from China about a handful of atypical pneumonia cases, they notified all member states within a few days of that (including of the risk of human-to-human transmission), and within another week they had issued comprehensive testing guidance and asked a German team to design a test. This was all within the first couple weeks.
Nice! I'd use something like this, but it's not very useful to me currently if I can't search by region or country.
Sweden also has significantly higher death rates than any other Scandinavian country so I'm not sure why its Covid response keeps being trotted out as a herd immunity success story.
Indeed. The timeline speaks for itself, and it provides excellent sources in international media. There is a massive misinformation campaign going on in many countries.
Also, we'd probably see other effects too from the folks who survived but now have scarring in their lungs or increased risk of blood clots. Not a pretty picture.
Technologies such as DPDK are designed to get the kernel out of the way. For some applications it has no reason to play a part once the system has booted, it's just an overhead.

It is worth noting thst the @WHO account tweeted clarification just a few hours later. Whoever made that tweet did not consider their audience correctly, and the resulting misinterpretation is partially on them. But the way it's been spun as some sort of smoking gun is shocking given it is so easy to debunk.
It's interesting to compare how the world reacted to AIDS which is still a pandemic.

Before the hiv was understood in detail, policy responses were blunt or non-existent. Many kids including myself were taught to abstain from sex entirely, which of course is a policy which would work on paper but with which no one can comply in practice.

Here in Texas our lockdown has has little effect on the viruses rate of transmission. I believe that's because like many southern states, we could never achieve good compliance.

More realistic policies which take into account the fact that young people are at far less risk for the virus will likely win the day. We can better support and sustain quarantine if it's triaged for those at greatest risk.

Instead it Looks like policymakers will just let go of trying to control this in the US, and many older people will die unnecessarily.

TLDR: Using a fuzzer, they found multiple RCEs in a custom image format called qmage. It can be turned into a interactionless takeover by sending crafted MMS messages to a phone. A major part of the attack was defeating ASLR. The qmage vulnerabilities have been patched by Samsung in the May update.
Oh, cool. I saved this to my templeOS notes.

I've been thinking about writing a technical analysis of TempleOS, in the style of the the Xinu OS textbook [1]. No strong reason for doing so, though it is curious how much more one could learn about him by identifying patterns in the code and OS structure.

It will probably take me a while to recover from my current burnout to look at a holy-influenced C dialect, though. A venture into the library of babylon requires preparation. So, I'm just passively collecting writings that already exist, and the likes, like you just posted. I'm on the #templeos IRC on irc.rizon.net, if you would like to chat sometime. It's pretty inactive, with sprinkles of relevant conversation occasionally.

Not at all? Most likely what's happened here is that you don't understand what "by extension" does in a sentence.
> The attacks against them are crass political games by desperate and inept politicians.

Not necessarily inept as politicians, though clearly so at governing; they seem to know their audience quite well.
I completely agree that there's a political element, but I'd like to hear from the individuals who are so up-in-arms about this as to why they personally are so aggrieved and how they interpret the facts to indicate such culpability on the WHO's part.
That can be solved through server-side log parsing assuming bots visit either all or nothing of your website (close to reality no?).
He was mentally ill.
Android has an image processing library. Samsung added support for some weird image formats by a Korean company. That is the vulnerable code. The Samsung messages app automatically downloads MMS attachments and processes them. So send weird image format via SMS => RCE.

It has been patched in the latest update.

The Twitter thread says that disabling MMS auto download in the messaging app [or using another MMS app?] should probably fix the 0-click aspect of it, but would still leave open other channels of exploitation.
> I don't believe most people would be doing nothing.

I didn't say most, but it's a significant number. We don't have to speculate either, it's reality today.

> Would you? I wouldn't.

That's always the issue with these proposals. It's smart, motivated people that look for tasks if they're idle and are ready to help others, and then they figure "I wouldn't just not work, so that's what everybody would do". It's the same issue engineers have when they design features. "I can type very fast without looking at the keyboard, that's what everybody can", and then it collides with the real world where most people can neither type fast nor type without looking at their keyboard.

I live in an apartment complex with ~50% social housing. About 30% of residents here are lower class, about 5-10% are what I described. They are quite happy with the accommodations and their allowance, they see no reason to work.

Your plans and ideas are made for a world full of people like you. But that's not the world we live in.

> Also we could just have contracts saying that if you want receive the benefits of being part of society, you must also contribute at least, say 15 hours a week of work, or whatever we figure out is necessary.

That would be reactionary, a large step in the other direction of unconditional basic income, and you'd get kicked out of every UBI debate, probably violently so.
Fair enough. But is there data available separately for staff and passengers?
Slightly related, why do kids have so less influence in what they are being taught?

Because they don't know what they should learn to become a wagie at FAANG?

Help me understand why parents try to push the same life they had on their kids.

It seems fairly hypocritical to want better life for your kids while forcing them into an education path to a 9-7 job and never doing anything about the system.
> We want young people to buy in and invest in the system. We need them to perpetuate it and pay off our debts, repair our damage to the planet. We want young people to invest their money and build roots in this society. And then we have stuff like this go on?

I kinda lost him here. Is he talking about investing in the stock market? I see "investing" as a way for the super wealthy to take my hard-earned money now, for them to make big bets on it now, that will make them obscenely richer while destroying the planet under the presumption that I will be able to retire later in life.

Personally, I don't want to perpetuate this system.
How could this possibly be known? The first case was in 2002, and the last case was in 2004.
Oh shoot yeah symlinking sounds like a good idea. I should try that out. The thing is, for the amount of visitors I have, both of those points are kinda moot.
Yeah, is there any information on why the Chinese government feels like they need the censorship?

As far as I can tell they are the most successful government at least in modern history in terms of increasing living standards (huge GDP growth and even things like being the only country to successfully almost eradicate SARS-CoV-2), so it seems they would keep power even in a fully functioning democracy with no censorship since they are so good.

Then maybe the censorship is actually integral to their success as it reduces the time wasted on going in directions different from the government's one and possibly boosts morale and happiness?
