This is a pretty old idea that was recently rebranded as the "Silurian Hypothesis". If you put in a bit of thought, it'll be obvious that it essentially boils down to one of two things:

Either every paleoanthropologist, archaeologist, and geologist out there is in a massive conspiracy to hide the truth, or all of the people in those disciplines are complete idiots. An event like that would leave strong genetic, palynological, and archaeological evidence, yet nothing of that sort exists. Any explanation purporting to wipe out the evidence and replace it with the consensus story we do would be better called magic than science.
It's not possible for everyone to be at the end of the curve. Be content with what you can reasonably achieve.

> The most acute issue with this vulnerability is Apple’s universal clipboard functionality, which means that anything I copy on my Mac or iPad can be read by my iPhone, and vice versa.

Didn't know that was a thing. What an extraordinary security hole that is, and excellent MiTM password catching opportunity for Apple.

Does anyone know if it can be disabled programmatically? Otherwise LastPass (etc) are effectively getting backed up directly by Apple. :(
my understand was that bats were hibernating at the time and it was highly unlikely for someone to have gone to the cave and brought them all the way to Wuhan.

For me it was a bit of a combination.

Main one was the breathing exercises in mediation. Which teach you how focusing on breathing can help steady yourself if tension, anxiety, nervousness, etc overtake you.

Secondarily was i was taking some Pilates classes. Seeing how breathing was important during movements helped reinforce the notion. Plus it helps you get more oxygen in and you tire less

Overall it was retraining my body to keep breathing :)
Probably for performance reasons. If I copy an image I want it to paste immediately.

I would like to keep some apps always on top and possibly transparent, I saw there is AFloat and Overlay apps but I wanted to know if there is something that you can recommend and trust if you use such a thing and also if you find it useful I feel like it's missing on my workflow. Thanks.
Why are you even putting passwords in the clipboard? On iOS and macOS passwords can (and should!) be filled by password manager extensions, which don't use the clipboard.
> LOL. It is much more dangerous for the Chinese government to have access to more data on users than NYT or other corporations.

20 years ago this would have been a no-brainer statement.

5 years ago you'd say "Well, yes, through PRISM and many other NSA problems, if a private US corporation has your data, so does the US government. But don't worry, the Government doesn't care about individual citizens, and wouldn't use that maliciously."

In 2020, do you really think that the Trump administration would have any qualms about using any NSA data against their "enemies" (which includes Journalists not bending to the spin of the administration?)

Honestly, the only reason I think it hasn't been done yet is Trump is too stupid to realize all the tools available to his disposal.

If you're a Chinese citizen, you should be more afraid of the Chinese Government, yes.

If you're a US citizen, you should be much much more afraid of the US government.

And as a citizen of neither, I'm afraid of both equally.
AOL used to charge by the hour, and discovered an unintended side effect when they switched to flat-rate pricing. Mods in the ancien regime had been compensated by getting free online time, but under the new system, that became worthless, and there was a wave of mods quitting because somewhere-around-minimum-wage had been sufficient compensation for the double binds before, but they weren't about to volunteer to deal with the worst of forums.

There are good reasons for enabling an api for copying to the clipboard.

A password manager should be able to copy passwords to the clipboard without the user having to select the plain text password in a text field.

Not sure about pasting.
Cool but the enclave only supports the secp256r1 curve, whose coefficients are NSA chosen.
It would have been more impressive if it predicted demand in advance, so they were actually available when needed. It would have been more impressive if there was a domestic source, but that no longer made economical sense in the market. It wasn't 3 - 4 weeks for many, it was months for some. Likely healthcare workers could get them within weeks, but initial supplies ran out, likely costing lives. While government should hold a strategic supply, our private healthcare system should have also put in the orders sooner. I wouldn't deem it a success at all.

Yes it's a great elimination diet but there is a growing community that just stay on it as a lifestyle because you could feel so good.

Turns out animal-based food has all the nutrients you need if you include offal like liver (a serving of liver has more vitamin C than an apple). I ate mostly Ribeyes and liver. Sometimes I had yogurt but if you're eliminating to find allergens I would cut dairy at first.

Dwell time is the time between the order is finished and it reaching the customer who gives thumbs up or thumbs down ( order is wrong ).

It seems from the initial glance that dwell time is irrelevant because a kitchen can just go to the next order but that's not actually the case because without yes/no from a customer the kitchen can continue to make the same errors without adjusting. In the world of ghost kitchens dwell time is terrible because in reality the only feedback the kitchen gets is an asynchronous negative review that will be received a day or two later at best. That's the reason why pretty much all ghost kitchen based restaurants rapidly flame out.
I think this is harmful for the internet because we need webrtc to become more ubiquitous, to keep it from being blocked at firewalls.

Also webrtc functionality is a superset of this so it's not a technically necessary protocol.

The problem with a virus is that it's contagious.

Car accidents do not multiply beyond a very low saturation point (3 cars, 5 cars? Never heard of 500 cars in a crash). Heart disease or old age do not infect people nearby at all.

A virus can quickly spread if not contained. It literally grows by exponent until the majority of susceptible population is infected. At the height of the pandemic in the US (around early May) the weekly number of covid deaths was rather higher than the number of car death, if memory serves (I did check).

If anything, the quarantine was enacted too late in most places, which made it longer. And we are up for a second wave. At least, so say my friends who study the pandemic professionally.
About 1/3 of people in the US lived on family farms in 1919. Which pretty much means that 1/3 of the population was already working from home.

It can be weird. My most recent study was quite comfy and unobtrusive. And they often start with a “DIY” home study these days.

What I've learned from talking to people is that though people say they support freedom (specifically, freedom of speech) almost no actually does. Almost everyone wants to restrict what other people say, even if they're never going to hear it or see it. People want to destroy everything in the world they don't agree with, including discourse itself.

This isn't a new trend of course, but I personally find it sad that the very people who claim to champion freedom and civil liberties are now actively trying to destroy them.

I think the diversity of people and their opinions in the world are scary. In the past, you could ignore or were unaware of just how different other people seemed. Now, this diversity is in the forefront, and people are scared shitless.

Ultimately, I believe that being exposed to people that disagree with you existentially shakes you and exposes you to the most scary thing imaginable: that nothing is actually true and that nothing matters. After all, if some guy believes everything I don't believe and vice versa, then maybe what I believe is arbitrary, made-up, and confabulated. And if that is the case, maybe none of us know anything at all. Or, as Heidegger would put it, this contradiction of beliefs removes us from being-in-the-world, and replaces it with being-towards-death.

> Our navigation, .ovpn builder, alerts and other features rely on JS in order to function properly.

At the end of the day, that does not matter for the customer. If they have JS disabled, and you force them to enable it, you lost a customer.

As customers, we are expected to have JS enabled for signing up, and logging in, but a marketing website should not require it.

> Again, open sourcing the apps, although it looks good, ultimately doesn't mean anything. Any malicious activity can be done in the back-end.

Sure, I agree with that.

However, notice that I said "if they open source their code, and if they run their business in the open". There is a lot that you can open source, but more importantly, you can operate your business in an open, and transparent way.

Take Confirmed VPN[1] as an example. They allow you to request a read-only account to audit their infraestructure, and AWS account, to make sure they do what they say they do.

Or SourceHut[2], which make most of their business decisions in the open, for anyone to see.

Opening your code is not the only way to have an open business.

The last paragraph:

> All iPhone users should update to the latest version of TikTok as soon as it’s released—and given it is actively reading your clipboard, you might want to bear that in mind while using the app ahead of that update.

It is not only a centre-right source (consider how often FT has anything positive to say about the EU), but also an anglophone one.

The problem with your logic is that Hertz has physical assets and IP (at a minimum the brand) which the creditors will then own. But I agree with you that the rot at the bottom of the system begins with the federal reserve and our endless money printing. In a hard-money system banks actually care about the loans they make.

Unfortunately there’s still “trash” apps that don’t utilize the feature. I wish Apple pushed on this as much as they did with their sign with Apple policy.
While the article is perhaps not written as well it could have been, alternative gravity is probably indeed bust, the point that other theories need to be funded and studied is valid. it is not a either/or scenario.

The argument the article makes is that just because emergent gravity or many alternative candidates potentially cannot explain all of evidence that dark matter can , does not mean it should be thrown out completely and rejected, it could be still funded and studied to see if it can explain some of it.

The real issue is given the way modern academic funding works we have been tending more and more towards narrower research with main line theories and lesser riskier proposals perhaps being incentivised. This is not just limited not dark matter , this phenomenon is evident in string theory research and many other fields as well.

Hey Isaac.
There are legitimate user-centric reasons for doing this:

- I have an app, Parcel, that upon launch sees if I have something resembling a tracking number in my clipboard. If I do, it asks if I want to track that package.

- A popular Reddit client, Apollo, looks for Reddit URLs in the clipboard. If it finds one, it asks if you want to open that conversation in the app.

Sure, both of those apps work fine without that feature. Those are definitely nice conveniences, though, and they’re designed to make my life as the user just a little easier. So, there are genuinely useful reasons for an app to do this. There’s zero legit reason for TikTok to check every 30 seconds that don’t involve spyware.

I want a dialog box: “Allow this app to access your clipboard?”, just like you get for access to location services, photos, the camera and mic, etc. Then I can let well-behaved apps do that for my benefit, and can tell creeper apps like TikTok to mind their own damn business.

I'd rephrase the critique to say that you're doing descriptive science. It's like a naturalist drawing pictures of birds. The most interesting work comes later, when someone suggests a theory to explain it all.
Yes, FLT_EVAL_METHOD 2 is an extension of "keep values on the stack as much as possible" that also requires the compiler to spill intermediate results as long doubles. Apparently it also doesn't cover constant folding, but knowing who implemented it in GCC (Joseph Myers) he's extremely thorough and I have no doubt it's allowed by the standard.

That's the best they can do.
I guess my question wasn't clear; why would they create a new seemingly unrelated spec to try to try to bring WebSockets up to where WebRTC is rather than just add the little tiny signalling bit to WebRTC? (Particularly since people are also simultaneously trying to bring QUIC transports to WebRTC data channels?) We shouldn't be maintaining so many separate protocol stacks and APIs in the browser. (Context: I use WebRTC in my day job, not as a side project, and have been working with it for years now ;P.)
For the most advanced (well explained) Javascript and all the way to Typescript and beyond, get a FrontEnd Masters subscription for a few months. Top notch teachers in all manner of content and Kyle Simpson will lay it out well in his many videos (among other great teachers like Will Sentance). The SessionStack.com and Logrocket.com blogs cover some important concepts with modern ECMAscript standards. Surma and Jake at Google are great and have a lot of YouTube resources to bite into. Maybe start with 'What the heck is the event loop anyway?' by Philip Roberts and then Jake Archibald's: 'In The Loop' to get a foundational understanding of what is happening. Javascript.info also a great text resource. You don't know Javascript also should be on your list. Honestly there are so many resources these days including specific YouTube creators but really it's more about your learning style and what works best for you.
> the opposition will find fault with it.

Your own side should condemn cases like those mentioned in this article far more than your "opposition".

Even though you don't care about these people nor about any other collateral casualty, pretending to care will at least give the signal to those on the fence that there's the possibility that the mobs might stop doing this crap, at least eventually.

If those on the fence realize that you don't care about them, they might stop caring about you and anything you might have to say.

> And if it does, all the panic in this thread about ruining people's lives will come to nothing because having somebody fired unjustly was never in anyone's interest. It was just an isolated edge case being blown out of proportion.

Those who were part of the mobs that ruined these people's lives cared enough to, well, ruin their lives, so the "not in anyone's interest" part is already false from the get go.

But there's something far more worrying here than the falsehood. Let's assume these are edge cases—even though we all know these are three examples among many—what exactly do you mean by "blown out of proportion"? Something awful was done to these people and some of us are talking about it.

Should we... Not talk about it? What exactly is the point here?

> Suggesting that such outliers represent "bloodthirst" in the wider movement is a great example of fear-mongering and blowing things out of proportion.

These are examples of blood thirst. Again, should we just ignore them? Why?

And had 20 children to have 3 survive?
Exactly. If WebSockets were an option, then WebRTC will be pretty trivial and absolutely doesn't require any STUN/TURN.

(The main issue, and this has nothing to do with the client API, is that WebRTC implementations tend to end up assuming unique ports for each user--which would be needed to help with NAT--but if you aren't behind NAT then the ICE layer already has a connection ID so you should be able to multiplex them all over a single open port.)
> Blockbuster operated under a franchise model.

Blockbuster had franchises but for most of it's dominant phase also had a large number of corporate stores (some of which originated with one of the several competing chains that it bought outright.)
There are a few ancient techniques that got lost along the way as we moved to differing mathematics and languages but there is nothing significant high technology found so far.It is a bunch of trenches, hardly high technology.

If you talk to a doctor about diagnosis 100 years ago they would tell you about touch and listening to the body in various ways to do a diagnosis that a modern Doctor doesn't know because they just order an Xray. Listening to the heart is a bit old fashioned already as cardiograms have become part of the kit in your average ambulance. So the techniques will be lost in time.
So does that mean there are some galaxies without dark matter - because of a previous collision? And then some dark matter only galaxies, because they left their galaxy behind? I suppose this is unknown - but does the dark matter reappear in the galaxy later somehow, or it's left behind forever?

Yep, it’s so much better than just key files: keeps key material in a secure system (Secure Enclave), you know when a key is used (standard macOS security prompt), and requires a physical interaction (Touch ID) to use a key.
Making the linker--which is architecture specific and generally "just barely what is required to munge together object files"--into some fat stack of code (that I guess you would expect to work the same for every single linker) because you don't believe wrappers are appropriate for some reason is a disagreement over "clean reusable architecture" and not that the ecosystem as a whole is somehow "stuck in the 80s" :/.
