Not quite related, but I picked up a used LG Blu-Ray player that claimed to have broken Wifi. Apparently, whoever programmed the firmware set it up to use LG's custom DNS servers, now shut down, and it had no public DNS fallback for this situation. It's amazing how little planning there is for when an IoT server goes down.
Has anyone been using Lark Suite? How does it compare with GSuite?
If you're pasting passwords into fields from a password manager, even if you paste it into the wrong place there is almost no chance of a real compromise. You have unique passwords everywhere, so a perpetrator would have to guess which of your hundreds of websites it is for.
I think the metaphor starts to break down a bit here because variety is usually specifically desirable when it comes to food, but not really when it comes to email or any app's workflow.

If they give you five options for where you've had a loan, how would a stranger know which one is real?
Paper trails is my biggest concern. Far too much PII data gets slung around emails and is sitting in 'Sent' folders waiting for the pillaging. I'm concerned because I can't do anything about this with regards to doctors/employers/gov.

I mean how many times have you been left alone in a doctors office with a computer just sitting there with connections/inputs exposed. I am 0% shocked at the large scale retail data theft that gained steam a few years ago.

Anyone in such a senior position either understands this is just part of the deal going in+, or is demonstrating their unfitness to be in such a position by failing to understand something like that.

+ That you are now more visible and you don't have the luxury of anonymity any more, and that this is just an inherent part of the bargain in taking on more responsibility, that now every little thing you say will be held against you by someone somewhere, and that now that you are part of the public face of your larger organization, it may at any time decide your affect on it's image is more important than any other thing about you.

It's not that you can't still hold positions, it's just that you can't still hold them for free.

If it works for him, that's his business.

No one asked for your judgements.
I think it’s because ads have really high margins. I expect that none of these products make similar margins so human capital is redirected to earn more.

So they probably have some planned investment period with a model to profitability, then miss it and kill it.

This is why I worry about GCP because it seems like a lower margin than search ads.
This is a short term solution to a long term problem. The point is not workarounds or bypasses.
They are probably not viable. But that has nothing to do with their lack of commission fees. As Matt Levine has described [0], zero is the natural price for transaction fee.It's not like TD Ameritrade and Schwab are losing money now to compete with Robinhood.

Many banking packages in Canada have a low number of debit transactions (like 4 or 12 or 20) per month for free and charge a fee ($1–$2) after that. It's not like debit card transactions are costing them anything (they actually get transaction fees from merchants). But they can get away with it, so they do it. It's just another revenue stream. The natural price for an additional debit transaction is also free. If they drop the fee, I would not be worried at all about their viability.

The US Navy does not enforce sanctions against economic competitors. It may be involved in enforcing sanctions against military threats, like North Korea and Iran, but even then, not really.

The US Navy defends the interests of the US largely by defending allies and promoting rules-based order. This is constantly the norm, day in day out, around the world. You see it in Panama Canal, Suez, especially the Gulf.
Why? I was just branching out onto what seemed to be a good conversation ... Like I'm doing right now.
As the other poster noted, WinDbg is actually being actively developed. In fact, it even supports JavaScript.

As for suitability with userland debugging; I use the WinDbg Preview version almost every day to debug userland programs. I rarely use it for kernel/driver debugging.

Quite frankly I was surprised how easy it was to pickup given that I was mostly used to Solaris' mdb and the ubiquitous gdb on other *nixes.
People really get their backs up about someone having to step down from a position of great power to a position of somewhat less, but still considerable, power. I suspect it speaks to people's feeling that there may be things they can't achieve if they don't behave or present a certain way.

But even if there was an injustice here, there are far greater injustices in the world, done to people who don't wield any power, who are just trying to get by. People who are denied even a modicum of self-determination, let alone power.
> Why. The type of people who want a curated mail experience might just happen to be the type of people who like the curated iPhone experience.

Even if this were true (doubtful), that doesn't mean there is a segment. A handful may like this application. I can't imagine the market for a ridiculously expensive email client that isn't functional is large. In fact, it's so small, that it can't take the shock of paying 15-30% fee for the advertisement, easy transfer to customer, easy place for reviews, and updates, in other words, a platform with access to a large array of consumers willing to spend for good software.

What's more likely is this - the app is struggling to make money, they cheated the rules and they know it, so why not turn it into a marketing campaign. Apple the big bad (meanwhile the company cheated the system, while developers who followed the rules get screwed).

> Why 33%? If you're right and they're just as likely to seek out android it's going to be 50%. If I'm right it's going to be much higher than that. Where are you getting 33% from?

I'm not sure what you're talking about, could you be more clear? 33% really means the 15-30% of revenue that apple takes. I just rounded up to about a third.

The fact is the App Store wall entry fee is fair. It's not exorbitant. If you don't like it make a web app. There are too many remedies for this, and there are far bigger fish to fry in anti-trust than this.
New locally or regionally sourced products have been appearing on shelves here; I think that the stores are adjusting.
Amazon could easily improve their rankings by changing it from "most purchased" to "pages read" or a similar metric. "Time users spent reading per dollar cost" would be a good measure. You could add something in to get a novelty factor if you wanted.

This would solve the pre-order problem as books wouldn't rank until people started reading them. It would also weed out books that people buy but don't actually read.
I agree with you on being interviewed. Bringing someone onto your podcast is more of an implicit endorsement unless you actively push back on their other views. If you don't know about those views, you should have done your research. But, if that was the case, he could have stated it. Imagine that he invited on a vocal flat earther, but discussed gardening with him. In his position, it raises doubts about judgement. If he says, "I didn't realize he was a flat earther--the earth is not flat", he probably keeps his job. But if he threatens to sue people who talk about his appearance on the show, it's a different story.
Piracy is a result of a bad business model.
Protecting your identity with a 1 in 5 guess is absurdly unsecure.

Let's say I was a bad guy and I looked at my target's social media. I see he was in the military, and I see USAA (a bank that caters to the military) is an answer choice, I'll try that one. Or if I know approximately where my victim lives, I'll look at an online map and see what banks are close by. Chances are the victim would get a loan at a bank they are already a member of, and would be a member of a nearby bank so they could deposit/withdraw easily.
I think it was an intentional bit of playful language.
Billionaire investor: Rise of Robinhood traders will 'end in tears'
My simple response. Stop using websites and apps that prevent pasting because it implies that the website or app has no idea how to secure their website or app properly.
...disingenuously...

It was a serious question. I'm sorry if it caught you in a situation that didn't allow you to perceive it in that way.
I find this conclusion to be very troubling from a moral perspective.

First jumping off a building or shooting yourself in the middle of a busy street are bad analogies - by their very nature those acts are disruptive to those nearby. But going out into an uninhabited place, having no desire to be rescued if things go awry, nor making any requests to get rescued - if we have any personal freedom at all, how can we not have the freedom over our own bodies if we are not disturbing others?
Differences at the top (and indeed bottom) end of the curve are important, because they might explain differences in achievement in certain professions. There was a recent case with an Italian physicist from CERN getting in trouble for using that very argument (if the IQ curve for men is broader, this would explain why there are more men than women at the top of that profession).

I note that we don't have issues with men being over-represented on the other side of the curve (mental issues, violence, etc.) We're not calling the police "systematically sexist" despite the fact that most of the police shooting victims are men, for example. There is no call to have gender equality in prisons or mental hospitals.
There's a pretty wide area between the current situation and completely bare metal, a gap wide enough to fit the vast majority of performance sensitive applications today. It's not like you have to stop at bare metal either in a world as the hardware can introduce some latency on its own. You really need an FPGA or ASIC to take this to its logical conclusion.
2020 - Still no ones willing to replace petrol with hemp+ethanol

Let me know when nations are finally willing to look at REAL SOLUTIONS
Yep. I'd be happy if I can make my digital sound as good as a YouTube recording of a concert grand, which obviously isn't as good as a real piano in richness and spatial feeling but the the quality of the resonances is there in the recording. I have a Kawai CA48 which is pretty good for digital but it still falls short of what I hear on YouTube recordings of Bosendorfers or Steinways playing through the same speakers, and I think that's a good neural net synthesis problem to match the sound indistinguishably to the quality of those recordings.
To jog your memory, this is a university most famous for employing Larry Nassar, who molested hundreds of girls and young woman, and also his boss, William Strampel (former dean of the osteopathic medical school) who was soliciting nude photos from students he was in a position of authority over. MSU’s image as an institute full of perverts and pedophiles was further cemented when the local news ran a story about an employee who was having sex with a basset hound.

So, MSU’s not really an institution that will have any sort of moral high ground for the foreseeable future. They had a very talented VP of research who they’ve now fired, and will now have to put out a job posting for “VP of research at university famous for employing Larry Nassar” (I suppose they could promote from within but Steve Hsu was hired from outside).
If you can still read the email, you can likely find the first couple emails and use that to guess when you signed up?
If the words "aerial surveillance" was replaced with the word "helicopter", then this article could have been posted verbatim 40 years ago, and been just as inconsequential.

I remember seeing a discovery channel documentary where they put a musician under an MRI and a lot of his brain lit up.

So I suspect it’s actually part of the common human experience and not synesthesia.

If you would actually see it, IRL then that would be synesthesia.

If you see it in your mind’s eye as vividly as you see things IRL then it depends.

Disclaimer: not an expert, I simply have a small interest in these topics. During my bachelor synesthesia was perhaps covered for 5 minutes. I learned more about it on my own.
I've resorted to autohotkey keyboard shortcuts to simulate typing in credentials at times.

> IQ scores are heritable: that is, within populations, genetic variation is related to variation in the trait. But a fundamental truism about heritability is that it tells us nothing about differences between groups. Even analyses that have tried to calculate the proportion of the difference between people in different countries for a much more straightforward trait (height) have faced scientific criticisms. Simply put, nobody has yet developed techniques that can bypass the genetic clustering and removal of people that do not fit the statistical model mentioned above, while simultaneously taking into account all the differences in language, income, nutrition, education, environment, and culture that may themselves be the cause of differences in any trait observed between different groups. This applies to any trait you could care to look at – height, specific behaviours, disease susceptibility, intelligence.

So I think we got fundamentally different things from that article. You see "between-population differences aren't genetic". I see "we don't know if between-population differences are genetic or environmental, and with our techniques we don't think this is knowable". Which, funnily enough, matches this quote of Hsu's pretty strongly (quoted elsewhere in these comments)

> "I've always said that I'm agnostic on whether... so there are observed test score differences between groups, I think that's clear, you can't deny that.

> The causality of that, whether it's partially due to genetics, I've always been agnostic on. Not because I think it's impossible, but because it's such a charged thing we should really make sure the science is solid before we speculate. We shouldn't randomly speculate on something that sensitive.

> But even just not being willing to categorically rule out that God could have created us with average group differences has gotten me into trouble. And I think that's just absurd. So for someone to attack me for saying 'We don't know the answer to this question, let's do the science first and then talk about it.' Even that position is actually not tenable in the current social justice warrior political climate."
FOX is despicable, bad faith programming and anyone forming opinions based off watching The Five, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson are worse off for having been exposed to their lies and intentionally bad logic.

But you're correct on one front: I attacked your use of FOX and gave you an opening to avoid the real accusation: That you are using the (limited number of) riots and looting as a way to get out of focusing on systemic police dysfunction and the need to radically reform policing and public safety.
Interesting, this may have changed.

Just remembered that Safari now only lets you install extensions from the App Store, so that would actually make sense if a paid developer account is now required.

There’s yet another reason why Safari has so few extensions.
The US also gets a larger share of its energy from oil relative to coal. With the shale boom, oils become cheaper and more reliable in the US and burns more cleanly than coal.
There are less options than the city in Halton Hills for sure but they still have access to LTE, DSL and sometimes cable.

My point isn't that these areas are fine and don't need better service, my point is they should not be compared to truly remote areas without even basic cell service (there are a lot of these if you drive north about 6 hours).

Getting annoying that people are trying to rebut a claim I didn't make when all I'm doing is bitching about the CBC in keeping with Canadian tradition.
Most great scientists initially have fringe views that eventually become undergraduate textbook stuff.

That doesn't mean that everyone with fringe views is a great scientist, of course.

But I don't see why that would disqualify him.
What do you mean about the bears?
No, because fusion is inherently flawed. The idea that it's some great thing to be striving for has little or no basis in fact.
The degree of awe taken when speaking about synesthesia has always mystified me. I don't think authors would use such flowery language if they were talking about someone seeing an illusory life coach or some other "beneficial" hallucination.
Is there a reason this was killed, rather than just retitled?

It looks like an interesting post to me.

The biggest challenge is background noise cancellation... it can severely degrade the quality of a group call. Most of the others can already be done... and in this case, embed of q&a/polls, document.. can be defaults when setting up a new call.

The person with #shutdownSTEM in their twitter profile pic?
Digging into someone's comment history to paint an agenda is a very reprehensible behavior. I was a Covid-19 skeptic as well, I changed my opinion when I saw that the overall death rate YoY - the excess deaths painted a very bleak picture. To think that someone would go down my comment, post, or tweeting history to comment on my bias makes me wonder if it's worth being on social media at all.
God I hate Kara. A pox upon the tech industry.
I just wonder when they're going to make arrangements with isps to automatically connect to xfinitiwifi or attwifi for telemetry.

Telsa kind of does this with their cars. If you drive near a tesla service center your car will automatically connect to the the tesla wifi. You cannot disable this (although you can turn off wifi one-time until the next time the car is turned on, and maybe that works)
https://micromobility.io/podcast is a good podcast on this topic.
The super power I see is not so much written communication as intentional communication. I try to get myself to communicate intentionally by having command-enter send my Slack messages. But sometimes you need to Do the Thing. And you can't afford to Intend to Do the Thing first. In those situations the speed of spoken-face-to-face makes the organizational debt worth it.
It is first career for me then I saw all these art scene and food and stuff but that I can lose.
> I was thinking about an imaginary communication system that would allow for decision making where there were some rules:

> [...]

> - The reader has to retype the original communication themselves before they can respond....

In email (not following Outlook/conversation style) and newsgroups, people would trim the original quoted material down to what they were responding to and then type their responses inline. While that would, in a way, meet that requirement, it could still lead to people responding to selected parts of your message while missing other parts. But, that would allow you to reiterate the points they didn't address in your subsequent response.
I think the answer is not "nope" but "probably nope". That video is perhaps overconfident in our ability to detect these storms.

From the article:

> One-third of major storms arrive unexpectedly, according to the SWPC’s own 2010 analysis. And that’s not just the small storms. According to a news article in Science, the SWPC might be also be poor at identifying the characteristics of severe storms, since they are so rare.
It GREATLY depends on where you live. Where I live, solar is not a good option. Terrible yield on many cloudy days - horrible yield in winter.
Not wanting A doesn't mean that someone supports B.
'Smug self-righteous predictable knee-jerk condemnation' is also very far from 'feel[ing] entitled to curtail another person's freedom'

Incidentally, you're wrong in your assumptions. Go to Alaska and ask people up there what they think of the guy. You'll not find more people critical of him in any other state. Virtually none of them are looking to curtail anybody's liberties, not least because more often than not they enjoy these same liberties. I think a lot of people in this thread have confused criticism with calls for regulation. To be frank I think this confusion betrays an authoritarian mindset.
I'm not really sure his right to die in the wilderness is what's most pertinent about his case though. Those of us who have wilderness experience should caution others who don't to prepare and educate themselves, instead of just going for it and seeing what happens. Because what often happens is a lengthy search and rescue process, and sometimes PTSD or death. Maybe that's what he wanted, but I kind of doubt it.
From what I can tell, ignorance is really only bliss for the privileged. When refusing to study the mechanics underlying a disadvantage, we are condemning those on the wrong side of that disadvantage to suffer indefinitely...
California is sunnier than most parts. That makes a big difference.
Oh excellent, thank you, I didn't know you had written about hexes + vue -- your site has been absolutely invaluable to me and is one of the primest examples of visualization done well.

One problem I remember running in to (drawing hexes) is that the redraw of one hex overwrote what had been drawn in another, causing corners of the bounding box of a hex to clear its neighbors. Did you run in to any issues like that, or was that likely just a quirk of how I coded it (I am amateur with canvas, so it's a likely cause).

How can they not know this is happening minutes after the update is pushed?

Is the chat farmed out to script-reading third-parties?
Don't think so.

Removing cashiers and automating checkouts just frees up the staff to focus on other in-store work. But the biggest benefit is higher throughput for checkouts. Self service checkouts or automated checkouts free up space for more such counters.
