Pop culture OCD: I like to organize my pens and post-it notes on my desk.

OCD in my life: I have a tourretic tic that forces me to grunt forcibly and wink whenever there is a square around me (side note, why is everything a fucking square?). The grunt is misinterpreted as a rude gesture, often. The wink has caused me to get punched regularly, so I don't go to social gatherings anymore. When I do go out, I have to plan to leave the house 45 minutes before I actually need to so I can complete my routine of window, door, lightswitch, stove, and sharp object checks 7 times each, 7 times around the house. I have to physically bite my tongue when my child is playing in the park, because I know he's going to get hit by an asteroid or abducted or whatever the thing is I'm concerned about that day if he plays on the third swing instead of the second swing. I have to plan my routes to the park in advance to avoid busy intersections, so that I don't get hit by a car, and so my child doesn't get stolen from me along the way. I could give two shits where the pens are, because I am too busy washing my red, raw hands for the 300th time in the last 18 hours. I haven't slept in two days because when I entered the bed after completing the night time routine of checking everything 7 times each, 7 times around the house, the second to the last lightswitch of the 38 lightswitches in my house didn't click in the way it was supposed to, and I stay awake so when the house burns down due to faulty wiring, I can save the family.

That's the difference.
I had idiopathic acute pericarditis several years ago with two months of anti inflammatories keeping it in check, but ultimately 3 days of low dose dexamethasone finished the job. My case was thought to be autoimmune - similar to the cytokine storm spoken of with COVID-19. Very effective and potent steroid.
Can someone give me an ELI5 on Privacy Badger? My current stack is just uBlock Origin, I'm considering layering PB over the top.
> Every time the attacker changes the ciphertext both the MAC and the plaintext will change unpredictably.

No. This system uses CBC so changes to the ciphertext have predictable consequences for some of the plaintext including the MAC.

This is why padding oracle attacks on CBC work so nicely. You smash a random byte you don't care about in block N-1 and twiddle a byte in block N. The padding oracle tells you if you got that byte "right" by the padding rules and so you can deduce what it was before you twiddled it.
Good luck with that, Sam.
No such thing has been implied, but you are only attacking straw men in this subthread (Dolchstosslegende, really?),

European guilt (countries fighting each other since the beginning of time) has been used as a justification for the European Union.

German guilt has been used as a justification for the Euro.

The theory that average workers benefit from the Euro is false, and usually only propagated by those in cozy government positions, like bureaucrats or teachers who are isolated from reality.

> implying that is a right wing thing.

And there we go, such a position is literally fascist.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but can these fuses be blown by accident? Eg: too much power in the switch. How do they mitigate this?
Why was this their fault? As far as everyone was aware all the cases came from a food market, and a few days later when it was clear it was H2H they said it was.

There were some people in local Chinese government that had preliminary indications that it might have transmitted H2H, but that data propagated in under a week after the tweet and it's not the WHO job to run an intelligence agency.
A Pattern Language is a fascinating read, and an online copy can be found using DuckDuckGo if you persist.

So, if I might ask, what people are looking for (in simplest terms):

a cloud synching platform that is cross platform, with a decent (or better) UI and a good indicator, that has end to end encryption.

To be honest, given the proper team, that doesn't seem like the hardest bill to fill. I will admit, though, finding a tech company that is willing to spend money decent interface and graphic designers is sometimes difficult, but not impossible.

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but I'm not sure how this is connected to Android locking down filesystem access?

To your point, I've been using restic/rclone to backup my syncthing directory tree to Backblaze B2. That's worked quite well and is cheap.

Also I have a question. For Dropbox on Android, are your Dropbox files accessible from other apps? I'm pretty sure that's not possible.
If you are interested in seeing a biological study "proving" ADHD, here are two. This meta-analysis from 2010 found a link between duplication of specific genes and ADHD [0]. This 2016 study [1] links the precise gene duplication mechanism with irregular neurogenesis, and subsequently hyperactive behavior.

So where was better than Harvard for you?
If it was a foodborne disease that came from a food market, there could have been perceived familial spread that was really just delayed onset and not H2H.

I was personally of the opinion that it was H2H at the time, but taking a few more days and having a complete confirmation was absolutely the right thing to do, given how we wasted that time anyways. There would have been no real upside and many downsides to such a decision for everyone.
What you really want is the ability to sideload apps without the App Store. Then you'd get your alternative browser rendering engine as well as tons of other useful apps that will never be available. Apple can do their best to make it difficult and warn users of the risks but it should be possible.

I think the bigger issue is likely to be a trash computer mic, a trash preamp/adc, trash dac, trash speakers, trash room. I don't care if at some point you're sampling and sending that signal at 1000-bit or whatever, it's still trash, just very accurately sampled trash.
The tough part in my opinion is the access point. You either have to:

- Put a wireless card in the router, but a lot of them are crap (limited features, not dual band, require closed firmware, not compatible with *BSD...)

- Buy an access point appliance, but most of them are as secure as the Netgear devices of the fine article.
Clap (the argument parser in discussion) does a little more: parsing to correct types, colorful output, generation of shell completions and man pages, fuzzy matching (did you mean X?) and so on.

Unless you make engineers and entire companies focus on security through proper designs and standards, nothing will be secure. Most software is unsecure because geopolitically, the countries who make software are also the one who are able to penetrate those systems better than the rest of the world.

No government will push to improve door locks unless that government isn't the most capable of defeating those locks. It's a cost/benefit function.

Right now, improving software security is a net loss for the US. So it won't happen when the US is controlling the computer and software industry.

So I'm not surprised to see even the best experts being beaten so easily.

The Avro Arrow was a cool plane, but contra my Canadian aerospace nerd pals, it really wasn't all that impressive. It was a pretty typical interceptor design of its day; interceptors basically fell out of fashion for obvious reasons -the Soviets never really developed a proper intercontinental bomber fleet, let alone a supersonic intercontinental bomber fleet, and the ICBM and SAM kind of made bombers expensive and irrelevant anyway in comparison. The last US designed interceptor ... arguably the A-5 Vigilante[1] (otherwise the F106 Delta Dagger[2]), and arguably pretty equivalent to the Avro Arrow. The F108 Rapier[3] concept was also interesting; many of its guts ended up in later planes like the Vigilante or SR-71.

It's amusing that the Soviets kept development of the interceptor for their PVO-Strany; coming up with very impressive aircraft which have no equivalence class in the West.

Anyway too bad Canadian aerospace didn't continue, but had they developed the thing, it wouldn't have been very useful.

Spaghetti code absolutely implies buggy because code != biology. They operate completely differently, in fact potentially opposites (logic is the opposite/complement of intuition, ie neural nets, of which our body operates far more like an adaptive/analog machine than a logical one which is brutally unforgiving).

In code, a single typo breaks the whole thing. So spaghetti code by definition is bad and breaks easily.

Sure, we have a fuck ton of complexity. But it’s only messy to us because we don’t understand all the conditions that led to it.

Humans certainly have flaws, but in general we are as well suited to surviving on Earth as you possibly can be, especially on the whole.

I’d say: we’re so so much better designed than any code that exists anywhere today, that it’s a farce. We are literally the opposite of spaghetti code. We’re Antifragile!
Yes, the issue is range reduction primarily. Noise may be a secondary issue, but almost all vehicles come with a factory radio ;)
> "1 second everyday" style videos

Tangent: you reminded me of one of the coolest auditory experiences I've ever had. Roughly one-and-a-half decades ago I attended a public lecture by Olivier Nijs, a sound design guy from my region[0], about how he built an automated set-up from an old desktop to record one second of 7:00 in the morning every day. Then he manually cut together one whole year. The amazing thing about it was that after a few seconds the long-term trends really started to become noticeable. The changing sounds of birds, people and other living things. How rains in spring were somehow just a little different than the rains in summer or autumn. It was really, really amazing.

(the artist himself wasn't that impressed with his own work - perhaps he saw someone else do it before and didn't feel like showing off with something unoriginal or something?)

While I do believe they should not have announced it in public, but this could be useful. Steroids are immunosuppressants and end up neutering the immune system. Severe cases for Corona virus ended up due to hyperactive immune system (based on various reports). Taking a steroid is good for short term when you have an auto immune disease or inflammation, swelling, but it hurts the body's capacity to fight other infections. I had RA and was given a steroid for a week. No pain whatsover, i could run, and go about my day normally. Side effects: I could not sleep, and the moment i stopped taking them, the pain returned.

Could work in short term but this seems more like a stop gap than any cure/medicine which works against the virus. This is something which would taper your immune system down so you wont have adverse effects. The potential side-effects are huge.
Did anyone else find the "Relative Distance" section seeming wrong. Not the harvard-vs-random school thing but the conclusion they draw, that you perform relative to your standing. How are students aware of their positions? Do some schools post rankings or something? When I was in school you're standing/grades were private and no one knew another students standing (aside from the obvious, people failing out and such).

If I was guessing at a cause, I'd put it more on the teachers/school. That they have it in their mind that there should be a range of performance in the students and they enforce that idea. Eg. if everyone gets an A in their course they start making it harder until they get the distribution they expect.

> Poor kids aren't going to have the resources to compete as equitably on extracurriculars.

Yes, that's my point. Given fewer learning opportunities poor kids end up at a disadvantage even though the next Einstein is more than likely somewhere in a poor neighborhood. The SAT might be a good way to find this person but it would be better if we required a standardized minimum from everyone and helped them as much as possible to achieve those minimum standards. That way the next Einstein wouldn't be like finding a needle in haystack with very poor objective measures of learning potential (Einstein himself being famously unfit for his own educational system based on standard measures of the time).
In a fleet, or at least all the time, that's not so bad. Get 6 running, shifts of 2, you can haul quite a bit in a week with some electricity.
I don't disagree with this sentiment - we do tend to overly fund existing industry such as air, space, energy.

As far as new investments though, China arguably picks their winners and has learned valuable lessons in boosting manufacturing from garage to factory. Their lead in solar manufacturing was astronomical.

The US have also done this, look at how Boeing, HP, Intel, the Auto industry and others had their start. Lots and lots of loans and grants.

If anything our policies are overly conservative and careful with new investment, investing heavily in the "idea factory" models surrounding higher education and subsidiaries. Fortunately that's also led to a large and mostly competent investment community that is willing to bet the farm on new companies.

Comparing the industrial & investment growth to industry in Europe and the ME has informed my view that we do a pretty decent job. Corruption is there, but it isn't the norm that I've see in other parts of the world.
What's weird is that I had a laptop that Vista actually ran well on, and I didn't have any real problems. Of course it was a higher-end laptop (similar specs and price to what Apple sold at the time).

It often feels like the biggest difference between Vista and 7 was actually time. As such, the cheap computers 7 shipped on were much better than the cheap underpowered computers Vista shipped on (despite both OSes likely having similar realistic requirements).

Win7 kinda was the SP2 of Vista more than a major version.

I have used ffmpeg. It's a damn good project, and under current development and support.

It also appears to be the only game in town. Many commercial offerings are really just veneers over custom ffmpeg implementations.

Tuning it is also pretty crazy. Some folks can make entire careers out of just tuning ffmpeg.

I think the biggest issue with video software (besides it being difficult and performance-intensive), is the prevalence of a lot of old, highly-enforceable patents.

Video has been around a while, and companies like Ampex patented a heck of a lot of stuff that can easily be applied to current video.

ffmpeg actually has a couple of build configs that are designed to remove coercive-licensed components.

I'm not so happy about that, but it's the world we live in.

I do have a project that I was playing around with (and will get back to, sooner or later), where I made a simple MacOS wrapper for ffmpeg:
