Yeah, great question. Basically wrong flavor and texture. Visually looked quite similar but just had a cardboard consistency. Repeatedly compared vs. grocery store bought over a few months span of alternating purchases to confirm.

It was somehow both immediately obvious and also subtle. My girlfriend eventually confirmed that something didn't seem right with it, so we started buying back-to-back orders alternating from grocery stores vs. amazon. Every once in awhile we'd get non-counterfeit cereal from Amazon but mostly it was "fake". Or at least diverted from another global region where the recipe/ingredients are somewhat different.

I always wanted to do some quantitative analysis like density or fill size or precise box dimensions or spectrometry of the ink on the boxes. But at the time I was just trying to convince myself that I wasn't crazy, and eventually I was 100% sure so I stopped experimenting before bothering to collect quantitative data.
I looked at the website and I couldn't find a pricing page anywhere. I tried looking for a site map to see if that would lead to a pricing page, but there's no site map page either.
Yes, it's puzzling. Apple had pretty much "blessed" JAMF as the goto way to manage Mac/iOS Devices in the enterprise. Most of the JAMF seminars/tech sessions I have been to usually had an Apple enterprise Rep on hand to work with.
$| is related to pipes. Much of the sigils are like this.
Google is a classic case of "show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome". Google's performance reviews and promotions are based on building shiny complex things, not on simple but grungy work that solves real problems. So they constantly come up with things nobody uses or cancel products that many use but aren't shiny enough to get a bunch of people promoted so no leaders want to own them.
I probably should have just flagged the initial comment.
The problem with industrial outdoor farming isn't the efficiency, it's the toxic pesticide applications, the environmental pollution in air and soil getting in the crops, and lack of nutritious crop diversity leading to inefficient food supply chains. Growing plants with coal indoors isn't a solution either but hyper-efficient indoor and vertical farming is getting closer by the day and more funding needs to go into new evidence based controlled environment farming techniques. Check out https://youtu.be/VIrXQo00OWc for an example of what hyper efficient indoor farming looks like.
Going to have to give serious thought to where I will and won't use this.

There are a lot of implications - no ability to automate and giving others data on you were provably in front of some machine are two big ones.
Sometimes I too take someone's position to a logical extreme. Not to be a jerk, but to start teasing out which parts of their statement need more nuance. Kind of like doing a binary search to find what they really are trying to say.

I've mostly stopped this approach though, because it makes people doubt that I'm having the discussion in good faith.
This feels like a strawman to me. There are lots of things shared on Facebook which are unambiguously misinformation, no matter what model or IPCC opinion is the current state of our understanding. Sharing those things which are unambiguously misinformation creates the appearance of debate where none really exists (such as, "humans are causing a problem for ourselves").
according to gallup polling between 1-3% of people self-identify as upper class. no matter your definition that's gonna include people with merely $20MM in wealth.

Awk is very similar in syntax, but doesn't provide the sophistication of match vs subst, and doesn't support suffix modifiers.

I don't think it's necessarily generational. Perl and Python differ in a key regard: Perl went all in on TIMTOWTDI, whereas Python went in the complete opposite direction: enforced whitespace, minimal syntax, strong use of conventions and idioms. (When was the last time you heard somebody inquiring about the Perl-ic way to write something?) As a result, a lot of Perl code is an unreadable mess, and many Python programs are intelligible even to non-programmers. It's hard to overstate what a win this is for Python.
DuckDuckGo's also written in Perl, and doesn't seem to have any trouble maintaining a reasonably-modern-looking UI.
As said elsewhere in this thread, Google already has a direct analog with Google Play Instant Apps.

Although I also wish Apple would put more than the bare minimum of support behind PWAs, from their perspective App Clips still have to go through the App Store vetting process, and therefore are (ostensibly) a safer choice than just granting more OS-level capabilities to PWAs.
This was the keynote talk at the annual Stanford Computer Forum in 2018: http://forum.stanford.edu/events/2018/2018plenary.php

I submit it now because it seems we're entering a new phase of the crypto wars with some Republicans in Congress pushing a bill to add backdoors to all cryptography.

This talk covers the history of those attempts from the early days, and how academia was able to initiate a dialog with the NSA and eventually convince them that America's security interests were better served by strong cryptography than by backdoored cryptography. I hope a similar outcome may be possible this time too.
The evidence is that they're so far behind the other browsers and have been for years, despite consistent demands from developers. What other explanation is there for it? They certainly have the resources to implement these features.
They have been taxed. Real estate each year is taxed on assessed value; stock market gains unless left in a single security indefinitely are taxed on the gain and placed into another security.

To then suggest the money that has been taxed at fair and accepted rates along the way, should now be taxed a large amount bc another family member has it at 20-60% seems out of bound.

The reason this thinking feels ok, is because it applies to a minority of those in society who have accumulated (which is not me - but I'm arguing the counter-point). Imagine if your house was taxed 60-80% upon purchase or sale (same concept).
No way this biometric data could possibly be abused, right?

For reusing software source I agree. The only current way around this is with the unix pipe system where you reuse software _executables_ instead of software _source code_

The reason it works is because unix softwares agree to a simple contract of reading from stdin and writing to stdout, which is very limiting in terms of concurrency but unlocks a huge world of compatibility.

I wonder if we will ever get software legos without the runtime bloat from forking.

ps: to anyone countering with examples of languages that are reusable through modules, that doesn't count because you are locked in to a given language.

Once again, we're leaning on speculation to fill in details that are missing.

Checking out https://www.reddit.com/r/blueleaks/ , the examples I'm seeing are subpoenaed records from Google etc. Those people have already had their privacy severely violated by the police and commercial surveillance industry, so it's a bit ridiculous to say their privacy is now an overriding concern when it comes to transparency.

That subreddit does have some great tidbits and discussion, but is of course at risk of getting destroyed per the same whitewashing policies as Twitter. We can only cross our fingers that it continues to exist, because we lack appropriate tools to make sure it does.

> (seriously, safari is the new internet explorer).

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. Safari is holding back the web because despite its monopoly on users it doesn't support new technologies? That's not true at all. Especially because it's got such a small market share, it should be up to them to deliver what they feel makes the most sense, and let the market decide the rest (though sadly the market seems to keep using Chrome, which is terrible).

Honest question though: as a Safari user almost exclusively for the past 15 years, what I missing out on that I could have experienced if Safari had supported WebGL2? I don't know that I've encountered any sites or use cases where Safari was holding me back in that regard, but I'm curious to know what was out there that I couldn't see before.

A former boss was fond of saying "Software is done when nobody is willing to work on it anymore."

New people make idiomatic mistakes, and if the language isn't cool they expect more money. Recruiting people is harder, so you tend to get stuck with the people you have, and managers tend to bristle at that. Eventually a new language full of people who look like cogs is going to win out. I hate that this is true, but it is.

I maintained a Python test harness for a while. No prior experience with Python. I mostly stayed out of trouble, in part because I set low expectations, tried nothing fancy. But it wasn't what I wanted to be doing, and not what I wanted the team to be doing. When I left they finally canned the entire thing.
> Mobile devices are typically underpowered compared to desktop systems.

Early PCs/home computers were also underpowered compared to workstations. The difference is: buyers expected them to be supported for a much longer time and expected developers to (if somehow possible) to write sufficiently fast code that also runs decently on "outdated" computers.
They found themselves in the same place as Dropbox. A company built on being a wrapper around a commodity has a way of becoming a more robust company's feature. They always try to add more stuff on to differentiate, but it doesn't always work.
Yeah, it's odd. You can understand security types with no ethics or considerations of negative publicity might feel inclined to harass people they think are giving away corporate secrets or exposing misdeeds or wrecking their acquisition plans, but a massive b2c platform company with the inevitable amount of criticism going after trade bloggers for some uncomplimentary articles some of their sellers might read is just bizarre. It doesn't look like their coverage of ebay is particularly negative, and it's not like there's a lack of actual scammers for bored security types to pursue.
Yeah, this is unacceptable. I get why Apple legal wanted to kill off distributing third party apps, but the way Fleetsmith approached this likely puts many companies out of compliance who were using it to enforce minimum versions of 3rd party apps.

They really should have put together a migration plan that included time for an orderly transition and a way to automatically move the third-party apps into the custom catalog, maybe even after the administrator accepts liability for distributing those apps.
Netflix is well-known as a very data-driven company, so you can assume almost any change is backed by data. But solely data-driven decisions can be a bit myopic—You're likely to end up in a local maximum.

For example, Netflix selects the "optimal" categories to display on your home screen. For several years, "My List" and "Continue Watching" were part of those categories, meaning they would change position and sometimes not show up at all, with no way to access them. It drove me crazy that I specifically chose shows I wanted to watch and Netflix would sometimes choose not to show me them.
Ah. The good old times when you tried to squeeze your game into 10mb, optimize the hell out of it, so it was downloadable over cellular.

Tankers are extremely energy efficient. A round trip journey from Reykjavik to Shanghai would consume about 90 kg of fuel per ton transported. Since 2 tons of alumina is converted to about 1 ton of aluminum, the round trip cost for aluminum is 135 kg of fuel, which generates about 420 kg of CO2. If the aluminum were produced using electricity from coal it would generate about 14,000 kg of CO2.

Of course, China wouldn't have to use coal if they chose not to, and cargo ship bunker fuel produces some very nasty pollution besides CO2, but in the world we live in it is far better for carbon emissions and probably for the environment in general, to use Iceland as the aluminum smelting hub.
There are two main options to avoid having to deliver food from (for example) Washington State to Florida.

One is to change consumer behavior to focus much more on in-season products that can be grown locally. This is a difficult social challenge.

The other is to change plant behavior so that they become products that are always in season and can be grown everywhere. This is a difficult technical challenge, but things like indoor vertical farming can potentially solve that. The problem described in this article is that it does not (yet?) work for effective farming, but making it possible to grow the appropriate berries or fruit locally throughout the year would fix the logistics chain by eliminating most of it.
No reason to record oneself sleeping, in the bathroom, or reading a book 99% of the time. Slap some ai or sound/vibration/motion/location logic into the camera and I'll bet there's maybe 8-12 hours a day on average remotely worth recording.

Assuming:
78.5yr lifespan

3200mbps/400MBPS@60fps 4k video (Sony fsm72) for 8 hrs of video a day

yields:

5.50128 petabytes over 78.5yrs.

Or 687.66 8TB drives.

At $155/drive that's $106,587.3, or 1,357.8/yr at today's prices.

Assuming a 1.666r% price decrease per year, the final years drives will cost approximately $41.8.

Taking your 1.24tb as terabits, div 3 and applying the same pattern as above I get 1480.379166TB, 185.05 drives, rounded up, for a cost of 28,830 in today's dollars.

Hope my maths right..

For me is all about sharing. The website itself usually displays the "video" as if it was a gif, but as soon as you go to share anywhere, you're sharing a video on platforms that handle it like a video. No looping, seek controls, complicated UI, etc. I just want to post a photo that auto plays and loops anywhere. I don't are about the internals, but I want all applications to recognize that file as an animated photo, not a video.
Of course it does but for many the problem is affordability so I'll take it as a nice to have luxury.
People in general have been segregated into specific ideals and beliefs while they're constantly pumped with "don't listen to those other guys", while any opinion that can threaten to crack their marble, gold gilded pillar of self-proclaimed "holier than thou" is shunned and ostracized immediately. I'm not sure of the cause of this, but I'm sure the creation and wide public adoption of the internet hasn't helped.

I don't like Facebook in any way. They're a predatory, invasive, and privacy-destroying corporation built from the ground up to harvest user data and sell it to the highest bidder.

A bit of a semi-related aside - this is why it will be interesting (to me) to see if section 230 gets changed/removed to deny companies like Facebook to act both as publisher and editor. They've obviously shown multiple times in the past that they have no internal guidelines as to how they block, censor, and encourage certain contributions to their platform - beholden to the screams of media and the vocal minority as to the "outrage du jour".

Maybe if Facebook is having such a hard time regulating their online presence and is causing "an overabundance" of conflict on their platform, the giant monolith should be fragmented into smaller pieces and operated individually, sort of like how the USA split up the phone companies in the 70's/80's.
It's more than that -- from what I'm seeing, it looks like it's a cryptographic token, presumably signed by a certificate that's embedded somewhere inaccessible in the device (probably in the secure element).
It doesn't account for anywhere near the whole difference, but in a tight loop like that Python's going to be spending a good chunk of its time re-compiling the regex from the raw string literal every iteration. Hoist the regex definition out of the loop like so and it'll probably run about 30% faster:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import re

with open('logs1.txt', 'r') as fh:
regex = re.compile(r'\b\w{15}\b')
for line in fh:
if regex.search(line): print(line, end='')

Perl almost certainly does this by default for regex literals, and that's a fair advantage for the "kitchen sink" style of language design versus orthogonal features (regex library, raw strings) that Python uses.
Microsoft’s release of IE was horrible for customers and likely set the web back 5-10 years. You might not have witnessed the damage that the “free” “competitive” IE 6 caused, but I assure you it was a lot of damage both directly to consumers and indirectly through the direct costs to developers.

They wouldn’t do it if it didn’t benefit them, and as a rent extracting monopolist, it’s always at the expense of the rest of society.

You might not see it if you don’t look while it’s happening. Ask someone who lived through the IE times.

Just launched, as it's been out for months, and working very well. And we've been at the forefront of remotely managing Mac systems for years prior to this, we just anticipate that Macs will continue to be locked down in a way that will remove the ability for management software to continue to do it's job if it isn't tightly integrated with MDM.

Key fragments are managed by which governments? And it would differ from the U.N. Security Council, how? Probably it would be Five Eyes rather than the WWII surviving super powers? But back then they were more on the same page than today, so in 10 years or 50 years, the one key to rule them all countries likely don't still get along either. I think it just devolves into an espionage race to acquire all the fragments. Or breaking the code.

According to the article, Amnesty International assumes, that the Journalist in question was targeted by http-MITM attack. This assumptions nicely fits into popular "http is bad, https is good" narrative, but it is just a guess (and probably is far from truth). Modern browsers support multiple network code paths, several HTTP versions, dozens of TLS versions and boatload of ciphers. All of that code has RCE bugs.

Besides, delivering vulnerability payload via advertising network is far more reliable — with http-only exploit chain police would have to wait and hope that Omar will someday visit an http-only site. I would expect a pricey exploit toolkit, used by governments, to be more robust than that.

That's because they work on the same data format, have no state, no branching, single input, single output and can be executed serially without needing to be looped. They also don't have dependency problems when installed as a distribution. If that wasn't enough, you can examine each stage by writing it to a file or piping it to display program of your choice.

If they work for what you are doing then using commands and pipes are great, because they avoid a tremendous amount of what makes software difficult.
The slide probably cut someone because it didn't fit together quite right or there was a sharp parting line because the tooling used to make it was worn out (hence why the cost was low enough that the segment of the market that doesn't give a F was able to buy it).
That's a really interesting point. If this really does allow a web user to prove that a human interacted with the computer, it'd make for a really nice CAPTCHA replacement.
There's a bit of survivorship bias in there because a lot of such posts go nowhere. But the community does respond strongly to opportunities to personally share.

Yes, it sounds like we were talking about different incidents.

I personally support Facebook's ability to make the decision to either allow or disallow president's posts - within the parameters of the law - regardless of whether I would agree with their decision.

The question is whether the parameters of law allow for a public official to issue credible threats of violence again citizens over mass media channels, and under what conditions.

The actual use of force by this president in his shameful photo op incident in front of the church has clearly demonstrated without a shadow of doubt that his threat of disproportional violence against protesters - even for trivial purposes - is credible.

The legality of all this is not a settled issue, and is something the courts may have to decide.

The worse life gets for the average American, the more the Overton Window changes and reforms that seemed unpalatable yesterday may be more reasonable today. In this way, the COVID economy is more likely than any other event in our lifetime to help spur change.

That said, what you say is correct and I have similarly low expectations that legislators are capable of reasonable policy reforms. Their incentives are far too removed from the average employee.
