Other articles on this topic described that they had hired at least one full time employee just to track this one malicious user. I'm sure they also have additional fractional costs for legal, moderation, administration, PR, government oversight, and lobbying. They might even have legal liabilities to the victims (not sure).

They previously worked with the FBI to try and trap this malicious user with a TOR exploit that didn't work against Tails where the malicious user saw the effect and mocked his investigators.

The $0.5million reportedly spent for the Tails 0day seems like it might actually be proportionate (perhaps even affordable) to the costs they incurred. I'm typically pretty skeptical of the costs the FBI and large corporations assign to corporate hacks or copyright theft, but this seems like it carries legit risk if FB doesn't try to do a lot to disable these malicious actions on their platform.
Intel donated their original EFI standard to the Unified EFI Forum for further development in summer 2005.

>The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Forum or UEFI Forum is an alliance between several leading technology companies to modernize the booting process. The board of directors includes representatives from thirteen "Promoter" companies: AMD, American Megatrends, ARM, Apple, Dell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Inc., IBM, Insyde Software, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Phoenix Technologies.

Apple started their adoption of EFI before the UEFI was a thing.
Yes, but there are quite a few other subscription services which don't offer an IAP as well. This just feels strange that they would suddenly single out this app.
Holy Jesus, this is amazing. It took me back to moments in my life but I just going through the stories and the sounds of the radio.

Incredible artwork.

EDIT: I did notice that some switches didn't correctly switch some of the channels. I was in Antalya and definitely listening to some American channel and the same for Bombay because I am confident no one there talks about possums and drywall :D

EDIT 2: Also, lots of Turkey. Loving it.
> Into the 90s, I could telnet easily enough between corporate and university systems, no VPN needed (although a quick google reveals, no VPN invented either).

Apparently IPsec, SSH, and SSL all appeared in 1995, as did SHA1 and 3DES, must have been quite a year for crypto. But those took time to catch on, especially as the systems were far more fragmented then than today. It took five years more to get rid of the silly export regulations finally on 2000. That should illustrate how new thing even relatively reliable widespread crypto is, before systems were far more trust based
Ooook, ok, I got it - not a great idea to buy HDDs of the same brand => I'll try to remember this :)

But: in such a case, having a normal raid5/raidZ1 or even a raid6/raidZ2, etc..., you might still get scrd by just having 2/3/4 such HP-drives in such a raid (that might be composed of 8/9/10 drives), right?
I don't know Syncthing internals, but state of the art in file syncing is to use rolling checksums to identify which parts of the file have changed. If only a few bytes of the file are overwritten, only the immediate vicinity of these bytes would be synced.
Yes, just compute the sha256 checksums and compare. I had been meaning to add a version command to encpass.sh for a while now and just hadn't made time for it. Your comment was the impetus I needed, so I've gone ahead and added support for computing the sha256 checksums of encpass.sh and any extension and also displaying the tag version.

I've cut a new release for the version command, v4.1.0. See the release notes here for additional details -> https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/releases/tag/v4.1.0
I think this is a great way to teach young children about the world in a way that resonates with them. So much of their observation of the outside world occurs from the seat of a car (for better or for worse). It's a big part of their universe; they often pay such close attention to every little detail, so the differences around the world should be immediately obvious to them.

I wonder if I can get more web developers where I work back in the bootstrap camp now. Use of jQuery was their main complaint and reason for abandoning.

On a related note, I feel like I'm officially becoming an old fogy because I learned web development with jQuery but never did enough to experience the pains it brings that newer frameworks do away with, and as such I still feel drawn to using jQuery, especially when I want to throw together a smaller websites.
How are they making it worse?

In any case, there already exist solutions in place:

It was the norm for banks in New Zealand, through to the sixties and early seventies, to require women to have a letter of permission from their father or husband in order to get a job.

Saying it’s not harmful is your privilege showing. Imagine you’re a 6 year old girl and you love cars but you never are encouraged because “women aren’t passionate about driving”.

How about just not making any assumptions at all and ask and support people, be it white, black, male, female, trans, etc?
Better than Berkeley or UCLA? Yup. I had a black roommate. Coming from Australia I had never met a black person in my entire life. I spent christmases with his family. You think I would have gotten that experience at Berkeley?
I wonder if you don't hear about it because it 'just works.' That's been my experience with Go. No frills, get stuff done type of language. No language is perfect, but Go doesn't have leftPad issues or a new language construct weekly like JS. It also doesn't have decades of baggage to lug around like Java.
There just isn't much for people to talk about. It's a boring language that is, for the most part, easy to read and write.
I think it's unlikely they'd release and maintain a wrapper around something they stopped using.
Maybe that's why the top comment is a joke. Humor is a valid signal, even here.
> And just like Best Buy wouldn't tolerate you bypassing their cut

The difference is that Best Buy doesn't decide which appliances I can plug into my home outlet. I can buy a toaster from Walmart if I don't like Best Buy's setup, but I can't buy products from another store and put them on my iPhone.

That's not to say Apple is wrong, just that Best Buy isn't a good comparison to use. Apple is a distribution channel and a platform. Some better analogies would be Nintendo's requirement that any software running on the Switch go through their specific approval process, or maybe a printer requiring you to only buy official ink cartridges.
(1) This is why you can even ship code written in JS or Python. (2) This is why Typescript and mypy exist.
I don't remember that one but it's similar to the wifi pineapple vulnerability that was being exploited a few years ago.

This. The words "white" and "black" are not proper names of places, and they aren't honorifics. To say I'm "White" would be like saying I'm "Fat" or "Tired".
Pretty sweet.

I think instantly feeling uncomfortable about a term like "White Fragility" and writing an entire comment about being uncomfortable about the term instead of a comment about the racism Black people face in all walks of life is a perfect example of white fragility.
All of those tasks seem much cheaper to accomplish with people.

Also I'd love to meet a workman who would prefer to have a $75k caddy, rather than simply buying $25k worth of new tools and getting up himself to go grab them whenever needed.

>I would not be surprised if legal threats are common in these conversations.

Is that even needed? Imagine iOS without Gmail (or perhaps all Google apps) and Netflix. That would significantly affect the value of an iPhone to an individual consumer. And in Netflix's case, it's not like Apple can just roll their own version and push that to users (since Apple TV+ is quite sad).
"Less tightly bound" is true at the molecular level whether or not the spring is expanded or contracted from a neutral position. At a molecular level, the rest state is for the molecules is in a kind of bathtub, loosely analogous to the effect that a camlock has in a mechanical system. Strain in either the expansion or compression direction introduces an opposing stress.

Until the force exceeds enough of the bonds' strength to cause plastic deformation, both directions are "uphill" along the potential energy curve.

" I honestly don't know what to do about it though."

That's a major criticism I have of the crusaders against "systemic racism." While I think the term is intended to capture the accumulated, "death by a thousand cuts" set of disadvantages that are faced by marginalized groups, it characterizes the problem in such a way that it makes it seem intractable. This is a perfect framing for politicians and activists, whose focus (IMHO) is on getting people mobilized by describing/raising awareness about problems, rather than actually solving them.

To me, when somebody describes specific examples of "systemic racism", I am immediately able to suddenly identify specific actions that can be taken to address each tractable problem. Replace "America is inherently racist" with "End Qualified Immunity" and "ensure public schools share funding across regions", etc. I think framing things like this makes the problems more solvable and far less politically useful for the demagogues.

About 10 years ago I go to go on a tour of the Taiwan HP office. One thing that stands out in my mind was the telepresence rooms. Absolutely fabulous, large table, with screens across the table that showed high fidelity low latency image of whoever was sitting at a connected table.
Getting data from google is not gonna help you as there is barely official info, since the gov hides those numbers, we dont have propper census data or emigration data

Venezuela population is calculated to be 24 millions at the moment, with more than 5millions who left the country over the past 5 years, those 5millions are OFFICIAL numbers, they don't even account for illegal venezuelans who crossed the borders to colombia or brasil, that are calculated on 2 or even 3 more millions, we can't know.

I can count with my hand the VES transactions I've done this month, but transactions in USD, are over 100, I just checked my bofa app and i have to wait "load 25 more" 2 times to cover this month..

Also you forgot to account for the 500k legal +400k ilegal venezuelans in the US. I have no clue why this article is talking about expat students

What you gotta do is take a step back, do what it takes to recenter and feel fresh. Meditate to remove the mental albatross of your job.

Then with the fresh energy, work hard but steadily ("just do it") on learning a new stack that you think you'd want to work on and is also in demand.

Take it easy, live within your means so you have a cushion, and just work towards what you want. Sleep is important, cut out alcohol and stims. Read classic worldly fiction to feel inspired.
Not going to get into whether "just a stereotype" is harmful generally, but your example really depends on the context. What if you're a woman applying to be a performance driver somewhere, and the response to your application is "women aren't passionate about driving"? That would be harmful.
It's not.

The real question is why do people assume that academics the only factor in admissions?

I generally tend to agree that he can be extremely opinionated especially these days. A lot of his opinions being on first-principles helps, though some of those have evolved a bit over the year. The red book in particular I appreciate because it wasn't solely Stonebreaker but rather a collaboration. My understanding is the updated version there was a bit of back and forth on some of those things about re-writing history or being overly opinionated on certain things that were a bit one sided vs. a balanced view. The end result ended up nice and balanced, but it was in large part because it was a work of 3 very knowledgable people in the space.
This is an incorrect reading of the term. BIPOC is US-specific. You'd have to look at teachings from Sami activists to see the most useful framing for indigenous erasure in Scandinavia. Also, it does not place black and indigenous people as not POC, the aim is "undoing Native invisibility, anti-Blackness, dismantling white supremacy and advancing racial justice."[0]. It instead centers the two groups who have been the most marginalized in the US.

The gay scene is very different; casual sex is far more normalized so everyone is getting laid more often. Queer dating is its own thing (I'm trans so I've dated as pretty much every gender / orientation at some point in my life). My experience when I was seen as a gay man is that it's actually hard to use the apps for "dating" versus casual sex -- so many people are just looking for sex that you'll just get your heart broken over and over again until you, too lower your expectations and stop hoping for more out of the apps.

The apps simply reflect peoples' superficial preferences. It's way easier to swipe left on a photo of a fat guy than it is to reject a fat guy who you find attractive because he is kind and makes you laugh. Personality really is most of it, but personality doesn't come through in apps.
Developers will want to use the app store because they'll want to reach a broad userbase, just like on Android with the play store. (The Play Store has lots of scummy apps, but that's down to Google doing an awful curation job.)
But "good carpentry" is primarily a judgement made based on of physics, with some haptics and design psychology and (hopefully not) entomology.

Humans are pretty good at physics. At the layer of abstraction where carpenters work, our predictive ability is solid.

What fields of science are the primary judges of "good software"?

> Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute

So it is pretty much _all_ psychology and cognitive science.

Humans are not yet that good at cognitive science because brains are complicated. There is real disagreement about how Working Memory operates -- and Working Memory is core to why modularity matters!

> Google is choosing to not take the Federalists money and doesn’t want to put up Federalists billboards on its property.

That's factually incorrect. You have it backwards: Google was giving The Federalist money to advertise digital billboards on The Federalist.

Do they have the legal right to do so? Perhaps, at least until they're declared a utility and regulated, but this probably requires a lawyer to answer, because in some cases political opinions are protected in California.

Now a question for you: do people have the right to be outraged about it, and frightened by the threat Google poses to free communication and thus democracy?
That assumes that Walmart is the franchisee of the McDonalds located in their store. I cannot find any evidence to support that. I found a WSJ article[0] that indicates that Subway locations inside Walmarts are run by individual franchisees. So it would probably be fair to say that yes, restaurants located inside of Walmart stores probably pay rent.

A Kurt Vonnegut quote comes to mind:

"Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance."
I'm not sure that argument works grammatically because we capitalize things that aren't names of places, but I agree with you in the sense that it's the feeling I got while reading the article, and it was strangely creepy.
You're ignoring what I spoke about and sidelining it into a discussion about how we should want to emulate Asian culture because it has lead to success for them.

You're ignoring how problematic that culture is. It isn't a culture that can be emulated across the board because it's inherently exclusionary. It's not that these groups of people who have risen to the top are helping everyone - they're only helping their own. How should that be a desirable thing unless you're also selfish and discriminatory?

If anyone is only helping those of their own race rather than helping anyone - it's a problematic culture. (And - inherently - racist)

College is a zero-sum game. You either get in or you don't, and there is a limited amount of space. It would be nice if everyone treated each other as a cohesive whole rather than splitting up in groups as you've labeled and desire people to do. That attitude is what creates more divisiveness and tribalism.

You must assume this is the case. The FBI isn't going to stop using a tool just because they caught one suspect in once case.

Both of those are doing quite complex tasks for sysadmins (probably it should be guessable what they are doing) that NEED to work. There is no excuse for them to fail.

If I thought that android was an equivalent product, I would switch. I would also withdraw my complaint about apple having a monopoly - since there is a roughly equivalent alternative with no downsides. But I don’t think that’s the case. Android is far too privacy-hostile, google has their hooks too deep in the ecosystem so I’d essentially be trading one monopoly for another, and (personal beef) the audio stack is not good enough for music production.

All that, and my feeling that we need real antitrust in most realms of commerce, means i would much prefer to be able to vote with my vote for representatives with teeth
