The problem is not access to the luggage. The problem is access to the firearm. That is why when you are transporting a firearm TSA does not retain the ability to access the firearm outside of your supervision.

TSA's procedures are as robust as a high school recital of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The TSA knows this and so when it matters (like when firearms are involved) the rules change.

My project, DivestOS, offers -user builds of Q for the FP2 with some hardening on top. See for example [1]

Getting -user builds of LineageOS does have many hurdles and it definitely impacts some devices more then others. Some devices even have their SELinux policy relying on neverallows. But it is managable.

And there is another phase - healthy: flicker free monitor, ergonomic keyboard, stand-up desk so on. When are these 27" e-ink monitors?

And yet another phase - no-screen. Everyday I look forward to avoid screen-time as much as possible - more face to face time, more water-cooler chats, figuring out the solution with pen and paper or coding in head during outdoor walk.
Why exactly are you concerned? The mortality rate is around 1/1000 or less for people of working age.

I've been working on an enterprise SaaS startup and have the same challenges. Explaining a general purpose tool and new capabilities that no one has seen before is really daunting. I'd love to hear more about your experience and how it turned out, especially the sales side.
I have never even mentioned Ripple. Ripple is a company like Google or Apple. They have have a service called RippleNet which is kinda like SWIFT. Nothing about that is relevant to what I said because I did not talk about Ripple and also not about RippleNet. The XRPL is NOT controlled by that company or any company. Again XRPL.org/consensus.html if you are interested in how the XRPL works.

>Yes, you do, you wait for 6 confirmations.

That exactly what I said. You can not rely on the present state even if you can validate it and "know" it's "correct" it doesn't have to be the longest correct chain. Waiting 6 blocks may be the real world workaround but it does not change that fact. Also 6 blocks is arbitrary why not 7? or 21? Longer is obviously better but there is no certainty it just gets exponentially more certain the longer you wait.

>Bitcoin network has historically had less outage time than any one of the world's stock exchanges or banks.

That's kinda a nonsense statement, the bitcoin network can not really have an outage because as long as there is one miner it technically still running. Or if large part of the network go offline it still keeps going for the rest there could be accidental forks and very long block times and what not but it can't be down. Since transaction take forever anyway because you need to wait many blocks, no one relies on it "being there" every second of the day. Its not like an stock exchange where at any second data has to be processed and any delay is "downtime". You just send your Tx into the network and it has plenty time to spread and eventually be included in the next block.

BTW the XRPL went online (completely centralized back then) in 2013 and since has never had any outages. In the early days there where some time synchronization problems which resulted in larger block times but they where still an order of magnitude shorter than bitcoins median block time.
Yes, this is just general information on x86 boot process, but it shares some things with NetBSD boot process, specially how the boot is divided in phases.

Is it really the case that advertisers won't pay for it though?

I get that many advertisers won't, but even companies who do want to advertise on controversial content don't really get the choice to do so, since platforms seem more prone to flat out removing/banning said content rather than putting it behind a 'controversial' flag and letting advertisers opt in/out of advertising on it.

These sites already have systems to mark what kind of content something is, and advertisers can already choose to market on content in some categories and not others. So it'd seem like if there are companies willing to pay for such speech, they should be allowed to.
I love, love, love this.

In much of the country, the first question you are asked is "What church do you go to?", and responding "I don't" is going to make you a pariah.
Yes, it took some experimentation but we (my psychiatrist and I) have found that Vyvanse works quite well. It’s not a perfect solution, but it makes daily life a bit more predictable than when I am left to my own devices. I actually found that microdosing psychedelics was the best medication, but unfortunately I don’t have a steady source for that.
> 1. No matter what operating system you're on, you'll eventually run into an application that doesn't render in high dpi mode. Depending on the OS that can mean it renders tiny, or that the whole things is super ugly and pixelated (WAY worse than on a native 1080p display)

Never happened to me in 4 years, see below. That said, I barely use any graphical programs besides kitty, firefox, thunderbird and spotify.

> 3. Configuring my preferred linux environment to work with 4k is either impossible or just super time consuming. I use i3 and it adds way more productivity to my workflow than "My fonts are almost imperceptively sharper" ever could

This is just not true. I have used the same 32" 4k monitor for 4 years running NixOS with bspwm (a tiling window manager, which does even less than i3) on 3 different laptops - thinkpad x230 (at 30 Hz), x260 and x395 and it all worked completely fine.

I used a script like this to setup monitors, I would run it every time I would change my monitor setup (e.g. on the go): https://github.com/rvolosatovs/infrastructure/blob/0e17a1421...

It depends on a very simple tool I wrote, because I was sick with `xrandr`: https://github.com/rvolosatovs/gorandr , but `xrandr` could easily be used as alternative.

Recently I switched to Sway on Wayland and it could not be smoother - everything just works with no scripting, including hot-plug.

> I genuinely think 4k provides no real benefit to me as a developer unless the screen is 27" or higher, because increased pixel density just isn't required. If more pixels meant slightly higher density but also came with more usable screen real estate, that'd be what made the difference for me.

Indeed, screen size is way more important than resolution. In fact, even 4k at 27" seemed too small for me when I had to use that in the office - I would either have to deal with super small font sizes and straining my eyes or sacrificing screen space by zooming in.
I live in a very rural valley in North Central Washington State and this is definitely the case. There are only a handful of homes for sales right now and they are going pending sometimes in hours and usually selling in cash. This never used to happen.
Two issues I see with your position:

First, scaling layer-1 and implementation of layer-2 solutions is not an either/or proposition. They can be (and are) developed in parallel and one can and should complement the other. Even if ETH2 manages to increase transaction capacity by 5-6 orders (which is quite a tall order) of magnitude there is a strong likelihood that a lot of that will be taken by dapps beyond simple token transfers, and we will be back very quickly in a scenario of network congestion and (relatively) high network fees and consequently demand for payment channel networks.

Bitcoin as well, with all of its forks and different proposals has barely managed to increase its transaction capacity 10-fold with BCH. People will not wait 10-15 years to maybe get something that resembles the capacity from Lightning, so much so that the main story from most bitcoiners is that it should be seen as a store of value (not a currency).

Second,

> companies and individuals who make their money from running layer-2 services will disagree with me

Is a huuuuge ad hominem. I can tell you that there is a good number of developers (myself included, if I may say so) and companies working on this who are more driven by ideals than pure profit. The main reason that I would like to see strong layer-2 systems working (especially in ETH and with stablecoins like DAI) is that so far it is the only feasible way to have a payment network that can actually compete with credit card networks.

To put it bluntly, layer-2 is another case of "Worse is better" if we actually want to have blockchain technology as an alternative to existing financial and monetary systems. Being a purist will not help the people of Venezuela, while layer-2 projects (even custodial alternatives) could.
Okay fine, I could say, "I could afford to pay 2x for groceries in general, but I won't, because why would I when I don't have to?"

Same principle for rent. It's not quite about what people can afford, it's about what they feel they have to pay (and how much they can reasonably afford is one factor in that).

Everyone thinks you live in a small town if you move to the Midwest. I moved to Des Moines and my aunt was talking about how her grandma knew everyone in her town like I could relate to it. The Des Moines metro area has a population of 650k people. And half of those people have trump derangement syndrome just as badly as rich coastal people.

I got hooked on chess because of Lichess. The interface is well done and it's so easy to play. Something about it feels much better than chess.com. Unfortunately, I got heavily addicted and had to stop.

Although, I had so much fun. I was playing mostly openings with 2nd move being the one with queen. Got to about 1700 rating on that site in bullet (3-5 min game). This was the result of about 1 year of heavy addiction (2-10 hours of chess per day).
Depending on the reason for protest, police cars and government buildings are some of the only things it makes sense to burn down IMO. With the recent protests against police and government racism, for example, I'd understand them burning things belonging to the people oppressing them rather than stores and businesses that provide jobs and services for people in the area.
Little known fact: the load balancer takes care of many DDOS attacks, and this protections requires no additional config or costs.

For web applications, you can use ALB to route traffic based on its content and accept only well-formed web requests. This means that many common DDoS attacks, like SYN floods or UDP reflection attacks, will be blocked by ALB, protecting your application from the attack. When ALB detects these types of attacks, it automatically scales to absorb the additional traffic. This scaling activities are transparent for AWS Customers and do not affect your bill.

If electricity cost $0.1/Whr, a cup of tea would cost ~$10 just to run the kettle. You've overestimated the cost of electricity by roughly a thousand-fold.

Residential electricity prices in California are more like 0.19 USD/kWh, which is 0.00019 USD/Wh.
Let's suppose that you take a mobile payment terminal, get on the train, and make ten $10 charges (you can't do large transactions contactless) through clothing of some people. What does that mean?

First, it does not mean that you're getting any money. Such a charge is effectively "sending an invoice" to the issuing bank from the store which is supposed to have that terminal, and they will pay your merchant bank, which will give money to the institution who got issued that terminal. There's no way for the store clerk personally or someone else to get to these funds.

Second, the money is not coming today. You get an authorization message, but you'll receive the actual money later.. if ever. If the payment is disputed, you won't get that money. If it's disputed a month later, they'll take that money back from you. If many of your payments are disputed, then all your incoming funds will be frozen until they verify if all of them should be returned. If multiple payments are disputed, then the standard methods of tracing 'common point of purchase' will reveal the particular terminal as the culprit. Also, malicious merchants is a known threat, so the merchant bank will ensure that you can't just spam a day's worth of fraudulent purchases and run - standard terms will expect that some amount of money is frozen (e.g. rolling 15 days worth of transactions) so if you suddenly get a bunch of chargebacks, the customers will be paid back in full. Fake stores and shell companies are a thing, but there are reasonably effective measures to try and prevent that.

So there's no threat through collusion from a store employee - the fraudsters would get identified and would not get any money at all; and there's limited threat from collusion with a whole merchant - the fraudsters would get identified and can't get any meaningful amount of money. Extracting a couple hundred dollars could probably work - but you're "burning" the identities of multiple people and a company; the bank will 'eat' that loss if you succeed, but you can't repeat this trick.
I want to see an incredibly accurate physics/chemistry simulator in distributed software.

This is the same first step needed to support automated testing materials science at a massive scale, which will unlock innovations in battery energy density, photovoltaic energy capture efficiency, construction materials, manufacturing efficiencies, etc.

AI/ML require some way to verify proposed designs, similar to OpenAI's Gym. A physics/chemistry simulator would save massive time by allowing software automation to allow software to run simulations in massive parallel.

I see this as a "human genome" sized project that unlocks massive amounts of basic science.

The important part of the article comes half way through, under the heading “But wait... there’s also CrossTalk“.

“The second SGX attack is notable because it’s based on a previously unknown side channel created by an undocumented buffer that all Intel CPU cores use. This ‘staging buffer,’ as researchers from Vrije University in Amsterdam and ETH Zurich call it, retains the results of previously executed offcore instructions across all CPU cores. [snip] First, the staging buffer retains output from RDRAND and RDSEED“

“Equally important, the side channel provided by this newly discovered staging buffer allowed the attackers to create the world’s first-known speculative execution attack that works across CPU cores.” Disabling Intel SMT (hyperthreading) does not protect from this attack.

I also like the comment: “Most of these attacks are targeted at the data center.” riposte: “Even if you are completely unconcerned with your machine being a security swiss cheese, [snip] every time Intel patches a mitigation, performance tanks.”
Actually, no.

If you manage to dig up some obscure laptop that had a higher resolution at the time I wouldn't be completely surprised. However, to suggest that Apple was "late(!)" with high DPI screens is provably false and frankly, ridiculous.
Ah ok, ya maybe it's related to it being the same monitor.

I have two different monitors that wake up at very different speeds and it's no problem here. My 15" 2013 and 2015 macbook pros had no problem with this either, and I've had 4 different monitors in the mix through those years too. I've transitioned to a CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 dock now and still no problem with it remembering.

So there's definitely something unique about that monitor. That is sad news for me too -- I'm hoping they make a 2x4K ultra wide monitor like that someday. Hopefully they've solved this problem by then.
Back in 2012 I was chatting with a co-worker whose side hustle was owning/running convenience store gas stations (he had two and was looking to expand). He was talking about the issues he was facing with shoplifters and I mentioned that Facebook had, in the previous 12 months, acquired the #2 company in facial recognition -- then did it again when the #3 company moved up to #2. I asked him if paying $200/month per store for a digital surveillance system that not only captured video but ran biometric matches against Facebook's database of images would be of interest to him. "Hell yes!" was the answer without any hesitation (I think he would have gladly paid more because insurance rates would possibly go down -- I forget the rest of the conversation).

The point being: whether it's Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, or Yahoo, these services aren't developed just because it's cool but in order to generate revenue at some point. Why is there so much shock and surprise that Microsoft tried to sell a digital security/surveillance/law enforcement tool to the DEA? To me the major story would be if someone internally suggested it and it was nixed on principle.
I'm suprised at how long the sentence is. I knew someone in the military who got drunk and burned his ex-girlfriend's car, and he only got 6 months.

I think walkable towns (as opposed to sprawling suburbs) offer a better balance. We moved from SF to Albany/Berkeley with a 1 year old and it feels like the best of both worlds. There’s a lot to do and see, great parks, interesting culture, it’s very walkable, and you can have a yard/garden, friendly neighbors, kids playing in the streets, etc.

Downsides are that it’s almost as expensive as the city (you can get a bit more space for your money, but not a lot more) and closer proximity to “urban” issues like grit, crime, homelessness, traffic that you can be more insulated from in the sprawl.
It appears this could be just misunderstanding the user interface. More troubling is that a broke college kid could get that much credit in the first place. Is this the result of VC dollars?

This article is evidence of the insidious effect of Google Search.

The methodology is silly and would be met with ridicule if presented in an academic or professional context. The author came up with an eyebrow-raising hypothesis that is sure to drive clicks, conducted a Twitter poll, and then twisted the results of the poll to fit the hypothesis.

The web has slowly become a wasteland of junk content written primarily for search crawler software to consume. I don't blame the author of this article or others like it. A fledgling SaaS company has little chance of survival unless they build out a content farm and spew links to it all over the web.

The problem is that the content doesn't need to make sense or have any intellectual value. It just needs to a) attract as many clicks as possible, b) mention as many relevant keywords as possible, and c) not be plagiarized.
Wait, what!? How does torching a police car not count as a criminal act?
suburbs are different then rural? I grew up in a suburb and walked and rode my bike everywhere. ran around the streets with friends and got into plenty of trouble skateboarding around town. population between 20-30k.
I am old old old, and I agree. This is probably something Mac users would notice once they are used to 'retina' resolution. At work we have two monitors on stalks and laptops. Work provides laptops to plug into these. The big (23"?) monitors are big, that's all. They hold less text than the laptop screen and it's much worse to read. I just use the laptop as it's easier on the eyes.
At home I always had multiple monitors but once I got a 4K monitor, at most I have the laptop open for more screen, often CNBFed.
All this is probably more based on what you are used to. If you have big screens and nothing of 'retina' resolution you are not going to care until you do.
