It's unfortunate when most people who think they are victims of a conspiracy are mistaken or delusional, but sometimes people actually are.

We can't just disregard all of the claims, we also can't just credulously believe every claim, but they also are numerous enough -- and difficult enough to investigate -- that we also can't feasibly do a thorough investigation of each.
First customer (and their problem). I'd recommend 'Wizard of Oz'ing a solution to their problem for them before even writing code, if possible. Consult for/with them for free. If you successfully solve a problem for someone without code first, writing the code becomes a whole lot more straightforward.

Great minds, my site is on my real name and I'd rather not connect my user name with my handle so publicly, it's got nowhere near the amount of content yours has though.

I've said this before: they should look at how the finance industry deals / has been dealing with bad actors for decades before they engage in a business relationship with a client.

Assign every vendor some risk category based on their profile, for example: projected annual revenue, country of incorporation, products sold.

A mom-and-pop store located somewhere in Iowa selling pillow cases would probably be low-risk, there's not much you need to do.

A vendor selling USB cables out of China is probably very-high-risk. These need deep vetting. As in: show up in an office, bring along your lawyer, show us documentation on the working conditions in your factory, sign an agreement to let us audit your factory, etc.

Now, banks don't do this (at least, as far as I'm aware), but to play the devil's advocate: just imagine if Amazon asked very-high-risk vendors to post collateral before selling. If they get caught, the collateral is used to compensate victims.

That would take out the incentive to sell counterfeits in the first place.
Lots of security patches and infrastructure are held hostage by breaking changes to APIs. Eventually you have to upgrade, and the longer you have put it off the more painful it will be.

And as we've seen with old video games, there are lots of timing problems that you simply never encounter on the original hardware but are impossible to ignore on recent vintage hardware.
Windows 10 really needs an SSD

Additionally, on extremely underpowered CPUs, you realistically need to turn off Windows Defender's real-time virus scanner in order for the machine to be usable.

I got an 11" Dell Inspiron with a puny A6-9220e (1.7ghz, 2 core) CPU that is roughly comparable to an Atom, but with a somewhat better GPU. Replaced the HDD with a SATA SSD. Thought it would be a cute little beater netbook.

For all intents and purposes, it's just not usable unless that real-time protection is turned off. Things freeze up for multiple seconds while clicking any button, apps take dozens of seconds to launch, etc. With real-time protection off, it's pretty decent - good enough for web, YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, whatever.

Unfortunately, Windows turns real-time protection back on automatically after a certain amount of time. Apparently you need Win 10 Professional or higher to permanently disable it via group policy or something.

I have been looking around for databases that have any sort of cryptographic digest of data to ensure integrity. And this is the first time I have seen something do that.

From the wiki article and the linked news articles, the police picked him up at the scene of the crime. He also had smoke grenades (used in the attack) when they found him.

> Authorities said he was not carrying identification at the time of his arrest and was not cooperating. … an issue with the fingerprint machine ultimately made it difficult to identify the suspect, … A source said officials used facial recognition technology to confirm his identity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_Gazette_shooting#Suspe...

> Police, who arrived at the scene within a minute of the reported gunfire, apprehended a gunman found hiding under a desk in the newsroom, according to the top official in Anne Arundel County, where the attack occurred.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/heavy-pol...

This doesn't really seem like an awesome use of facial recognition to me. He was already in custody after getting picked up at the crime scene. I doubt he would have been released if facial recognition didn't exist.
I think a good start would be for the guy drawing the lines to acknowledge that he's been drawing the lines, and not continue with this ridiculous charade that he's not.
Exactly. I’m not a huge fan of Yelp but I used to use the mobile website occasionally. But they have been slowly crippling the mobile website over the years to force you to download the app instead. So now I don’t use Yelp anymore. I don’t see why a company like Yelp would embrace this, although given Apple has featured them extensively in the announcement I assume they are embracing it after all. Maybe because there’s such a simple path from app clip to installing the full app, companies might see this as a potential avenue for new installs? Also supposedly App Clips can access nearly all of the native app APIs, so even if they can’t get much location data and have limited notification access, they might be able to get some available data off the user’s device?

I found myself in the same situation recently. I've worked for the same company in the last four years, and always had the same manager. Now that we were finally working properly as a unit (we started as a very small team and grew more recently as well), due to a change of CTO, we were forced a new manager (because he wanted someone he knows better, i.e., control better). I did my best to look on the bright side of it for the last 4 months, but now I've reached my tipping point, I'm already in interviews for other companies.

Hope you have better luck than me.
> Javascript was browser only until 2010

Depending on how you look at it you are at least a decade too late: we Java folks had the Rhino Javascript engine back in the late 1990ies, and it had an interpreted mode since 1998: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhino_(JavaScript_engine)

I think it is even mentioned in the Javascript in a Nutshell book by David Flanagan (I haven't read it since then but I studied that book as I wrote a map rendering system in Javascript back in school in 2005.)
I use Mailplane for when I want to see all my email accounts, and Spark when I want to deal with all email accounts together.

So I can be universal, or targeted, where I want to spend my time.

That said, I'm also spread across too many endeavors, but that's a totally different problem.
If they can't obtain the cost basis then it should be zero. The vast majority of people have assets like stocks and property where records are maintained by third parties. And if its so old or so disorganized to not know, then a cost basis of zero probably isn't too far off.

I don't really get the attitude of 'I don't care about counterfeits because it's easy to make returns.' I mean, you know what's even easier than that? Ordering from a more trustworthy vendor and not having to make returns. Getting the right thing the first time! If I have to go to the post office to send a thing back, I might as well just go to an actual store and buy the thing myself.
I am not a novelist. The problem isn't the device, it's my brain. But when I have a creative block, I take a page from the novelists that just works.

I close my eyes and start typing.

In fact, Iv'e closed my eyes just now as I write this. Touch typing obviously helps! But it allows me to hyper-focus on my writing and not on anything else. If I wanted to, I could turn off all notifications. or just turn my sound off completely with "mute". No big deal. Granted, this isn't very portable, but I could do this with my laptop. The only thing I lack is the huge battery life.

As I open my eyes now, I re-emerge into the Real World where there exists more than my writing. I fix the typos, make an observation, and click "add comment".

But not before I add one more thing: You don't need a device to write. You need a process, and you need to get out of your own head.
You have to bare in mind Perls roots are as an awk-like language for the command line. In those instances weird line noise syntax was the idiom and as Perl grew it moved away from that but without breaking compatibility by default.

This leads to serious Perl projects relying on the numerous headers (as described in the very article we are discussing) to ensure everyone applies a more modern coding style.

So you can absolutely stop people from using $|

The point of Perl 7 is to have sane defaults.
The courts have already decided. The Brandenburg v Ohio precedent establishes the "imminent lawless action" test.

I hear you but this is true of typing on a keyboard for some:RSI. Last time I was doing a lot of hand writing was in college and my writing has gotten way worse since because of lack of practice. But, I remember not having to think much about writing, my hand had a brain of its own.
>I am not sure how you got this from conversation above. Still sounds impossible to me.

When discussing encryption, many people say that this is an impossible problem to solve because of math. This conversation has shifted to being a problem about incentives. Math is impossible to change. Incentives are changeable. If the only problems here are the specifics of the scheme and the incentives of people involved, those are solvable.

That's me, and I totally have a different take.

I studied abroad as a foreign language major - but only after three full years of studying the language and culture of the country I was visiting. It was an enriching experience and I felt pretty comfortable navigating the country socially and professionally. Study abroad was a requirement for me to graduate. I did the longer trip after a previous two week trip to the same place. I met via skype with my professor back in the US weekly for an independent study course, and that gave me the chance to reflect and make sense of my experiences with a trusted mentor (who was a native of the country herself). The professor even dropped by to visit me in person during her summer trip to the country.

I think all of these things factored into making it an amazing experience and time of growth, as opposed to an isolating and depressing experience. Even with all that support and background knowledge I still dealt with my fair share of culture shock, home sickness, and isolation - all of which are important parts of the learning experience, in appropriate doses. But without the support system and preparation I had, I would imagine that the experience could have been very negative.

Study abroad is an incredible and enriching experience - but it takes a lot more resources than just buying a college kid a plane ticket to another country and sending them on their way. Of course that can be useful for a certain adventurous types as well. But institutionally, study abroad takes deliberate planning and support to make it meaningful for everybody who participates. Otherwise it can surely be just as bad as this author makes it out to be.

There's a need for automated harvesting machines for a few remaining crops - apples, lettuce, etc. The big field crops - wheat, corn, etc. have been fully mechanized for decades if not centuries.

There are vision guided fruit picking machines. They're too slow, too fragile, and need too much supervision. But they mostly work. What they need now is good practical mechanical engineering. The 2016 version:[1] The 2019 version.[2] When they get about 2x faster, have half the parts count, and can be routinely pressure-washed, they'll be ready. The "AI" part is done.

One of the simpler automated systems is automatic weeding. Machines come in several forms, but the most successful seem to be wide implements towed behind a tractor. Deere has some of these. They recognize weeds with cameras and do something about them. Some stomp or pull, some zap with electricity or a flame, some squirt on an overdose of fertilizer. It's "organic", too; no pesticides. You can get this as a service in a few areas.[3]

For me, the 12.9" ipad pro screen is just gorgeous. It is an absolute pleasure to read on and side-by-side apps feel right. On the regular ipad, side-by-side felt cramped. For media consumption, the big screen and the the stereo speaker is night and day. I just picked up the new macbook air and I use the ipad pro as a second screen and it feels natural. The one thing you want to think about is the increased weight.
The fact Twitter is a private platform places this outside the "Free Speech" debate as it's usually understood. That's the whole point: Twitter, as a private platform, can self-censor expression by destroying your expression without owing you or anyone else even a figleaf justification. Any centralized platform can do that, and will, with sufficient provocation, or no provocation at all.
I find the wording of this odd also. They mention Apple Pay and Sign in with Apple, but also say App Clips can use the full SDK. Would you not be able to include the Stripe SDK or a competitor?

There is actually a LOT of margin in counterfeiting textbooks.

Even in the US a textbook costs ~$10 to manufacture. The reason prices are so high is that there's a high fixed cost up front to write/edit/typeset/design/market the book, and a small, capped number of readers over which you can hope to amortize those costs.

If publishers need to sell for $200 to break even, you can sell your counterfeit copy as "used" for $50-100/u, and get a 4-900% gross margin because you don't have to waste money on things like developing or marketing the content or paying royalties.
The correlation is actually negative: if you don't produce insulin, you'll find it extremely hard to put on weight.

>The biggest gain would be in how to refine the aluminum without shipping across the world twice.

Yes, that'd be nice. People are working on solutions, but the only economically viable way to refine the material is to use a highly intensive electrolysis process. My quick google search is showing 17,000 kWh/ton of aluminum [1].

It's currently economically viable to refine in Iceland, but China is the #1 producer of raw aluminum [1] [2]. Iceland only has 3 smelters, and the combined capacity is less than the 9 largest smelters in the world, 2 of which are in China.

Citation [1] also has mentions of how much better the process of smelting has become.

>So, within 60 years, by improving the technology, fluoride emissions have been reduced more than 15 times (Table 2) and annual amounts of fluorinated residues have decreased from 1500 ton after WWII to 60 ton today.

From a purely energy standpoint, raw aluminum production has become vastly more efficient [4], with kWh/kg dropping from ~27 in 1940 to ~17 in 2000. The theoretical minimum is 5.99 kWh/kg [5]

> The biggest gain would be in how to refine the aluminum without shipping across the world twice.

I keep seeing this about "shipping" being a major contributor to greenhouse emissions but some brief googling shows it's only 2.2%. This seems very little considering how much is shipping across the oceans and compared to electricity generation and ground-based transport.

That's what has been so confusing for me to sort out. COVID seems, according to what I can see, to have an extra-long recovery period for many people.

I had walking pneumonia and bronchitis two years ago, and even with treatment it took a good 5 months to get out from under that in anything near 90% capacity.

Is COVID that? Or is it worse? This gives me more anxiety than the deaths, to be honest.

Wow this is such a smart idea for text transfer.
Text on buffers are disposable (e.g. cut/pasting text) but files are not, as losing one can even be a tragedy without backup so I don't see much logic in treating them the same, specially since the mental overhead becomes a burden to the user (oh I'm pasting a file so I must remember to use the special command to cut a file) instead of putting the burden on the machine, specially since reducing mental overhead is arguably the sole purpose of
the machine.

And the focus of that complain was that the edit menu does not clarify in any way that the "Cut" command there is only meant for text, it should be renamed "Cut text" or something that the user can easily understand to be intended only for text.

Websites support Apple Pay, sign in with apple, being loaded from a URL/NFC/QR code, location API access, etc. The main thing websites don’t support is push notifications on iOS, and it seems like that would be a lot easier for Apple to implement then an entirely new app format. I don’t think you can really blame web standards organizations, this is entirely Apple’s decision. They want their proprietary App Store front and center.
