Security is a continuum, not a binary.

Things that native apps can do trivially but that require explicit permission for accessed in Flash (or the web in general): filesystem read/write, listen in on microphones, spy with webcams, etc etc.

If you have a flash zero day (and they totally exist!), you can do those things, but that significantly raises the difficulty, which reduces the number of attacks you'll actually see in the wild. Most attackers aren't the NSA or Mossad, and resources that they have to spend on getting and exploiting zero days are resources they can't spend on other parts of the exploit chain.
I personally believe that anything that can be automated by software should be automated by software. If it takes programmatically clicking exactly the same A, B, C, D sequence to display what the user wants, that clicking should be done by the machine, not the human.
Maybe just no one wants the website any more?

If you're doing something that could be considered a violation of user privacy, like phoning home to a telemetry service, it should not be opt-out. Probably it shouldn't exist at all. Not everything has to have "telemetry" baked into it.

When you say "better", better than what? How can your model tell you that some other data would not work better? The fact that you are looking at a correlation tells you that it's one of many ways to infer what you want to determine, and that it's imperfect. This is logically certain if we agree that race is not causal. So the only question is how much better is another model with different inputs.
Technically, company is not a single mind that could have a viewpoint on something. It is a group of people, who sometimes have different incentives. Maybe someone's incentives make this a good strategy, even if it is harmful for the company as a whole in long term.

I don't know how exactly people in HR are rewarded, but I have noticed a few situations where the company had a generous salary range in mind, but HR fought against mentioning it. It didn't make sense from the company perspective, because the company wanted the people, and the salary was above market average so the potential candidates would have liked it too. The resistence of HR makes me suspect that their incentives didn't align with the company interest, but I have no idea how specifically.
Not only this but Tesla is making the future of legacy auto makers look even worse. Consider that, even now, Tesla cars are engineered for 1m miles of operation and batteries with 2m km and 16 years of life are about to come on stream. The implications is that very soon cars will last for over 1m miles and therefore many fewer cars will be sold per year. Indeed the biggest part of the business may become refurbishing the interiors of ten year old cars.

Tesla right now is on the cusp of selling cars with these specs while the legacy guys are on the cusp of matching the eight year old Model S. Legacy car makers have a huge challenge in front of them crossing the chasm to the new automotive reality and not many are going to make it.
> it's easier to survive on mars for centuries than survive that fraction of a second of nuclear fire.

I disagree. To the extent that you can stockpile supplies to survive on mars through the nuclear event, moreso it is easier to stockpile supplies to survive in underground bunkers.

> And it's not just nuclear - if you are going to have a single point of failure, it has to survive every possible thing - it needs to be nuke proof, germ proof, chemical proof, earthquake proof... Redundancy is much cheaper.

I agree, and it's easier to design separate Earth shelters to withstand different catastrophe scenarios than elsewhere.

> Presumably the martian back-ups would return to earth as soon as the danger of the calamity had passed, so you still get all the benefits of Earth's habitability afterwards. Only the pre-catastrophe society needs to build and support a mars base.

Likewise for Earth-based shelters.

And let's not forget that there are far more failure scenarios and it's harder to recover from them for a shelter based in Mars than for one on Earth.
I love that they say they won't allow boogaloo groups that are directly encouraging/posting violent meme's. At this point the group has stated their goal is the downfall of the US government. I don't care if they have a group that posts pictures of roses and baby giraffe's - the group's stated mission is violence. They shouldn't be allowed on the site at ALL. The fact they are just re-enforces that facebook is more concerned with advertising dollars than doing the right thing.
Just to be clear, I think move-out notice is only one area where landlords use economies of scale to their benefit. Anywho...

If you're looking to price the rental market and you have a 60 day notice, you're probably look at rentals that start 60-90 days out. In a hot market this is an extremely small cohort. If you're required to give 30 days notice that range can extend from 30-90 days, capturing significantly more options.

The net effect here is that tenets lose leverage. In a 30< day model I can look significantly wider without wasting time. in a 30> day model I run the risk of exhausting my runway (and probably taking the first option available).
Effective July 1, USPS Hikes International Shipping Rates
In Canada a Class A brand new can be $400k+. A 10 year old Class A at 25% of the price is still a $100k vehicle. And because they are built like garbage, the repairs start adding up.

I am convinced that if you do the math, it makes more sense for the couple months a year a retired couple will travel to just buy a nice vehicle and do AirBNBs and have no compromise in terms of Shower length, amount of hot water, and other amenities.

Also, don’t get me started on the cost of fuel relative to a normal vehicle. Their fuel economy is abysmal. Think: Russian Tank.
I will (and have) pay more for an in-app Apple subscription just because of how easy it is to manage. I don’t think requiring a call is ever “simple”. Some people just prefer different things.
> Probably not the best terminology to use on a post about people with disabilities.

You've obviously never hung around with people with disabilities. "Political correctness" is not exactly their/our long suit.

One of my favorite experiences was watching a group of people with learning disabilities call each other "retard" and crack up every time.

Don't even get me started about Deaf people and the jokes they make about people that can hear when they think you're not watching.

> Silver plans are eligible for Cost Sharing Reduction (reducing deductibles to $500-1,000), and pay for doctor’s visits before deductibles kick in

You’re right about the deductible - after doing the math I saw that youd qualify for the 150->400% bracket of the federal poverty level. But can you afford 3 weeks pay for that $750 deductible? On top of other stuff?

> You are out of touch if you think $250 per month is a “rice and beans” food budget for a single person

I didn't say it was only rice and beans, but a cheap diet consisting of the cheapest carbs. The USDA has it around $180 as the absolute cheapest per person. Your money wizard person lives in the cheapest area of the country. I'll bet they have a stocked kitchen as well so they never need to buy spices.

Having been thru Normal/Bloomington and Champaign, it’s extremely reasonable in price as rentals are dirt cheap, as long as you’re going to aldi. $1-2 well drinks aren’t a thing in a lot of the country. Coffee isn’t a dollar since the 90s. Your original example was between DC and baltimore. Things aren't so cheap there.

Oh, and I forgot about the actual premium cost of the silver plan, which is around $200 per month.

> To drive clicks, the algorithms optimise for rage bait.

Indeed, the author expands on the rage bait part here:

“More than just fanning disagreement, trolls want to encourage a belief that truth no longer exists. Divide and conquer. Distrust anyone who might serve as a leader or trusted voice. Cut off the head. Demoralize. Confuse. Each of these is a devastating attack strategy.

Even as a social media researcher, I underestimate the degree to which my opinion is shaped by these attacks. I think I am smart enough to read what I want, discard the rest and step away unscathed. Still, when I see a post that has millions of likes, part of me thinks it must reflect public opinion. The social media feeds I see are affected by it and, what’s more, I am affected by the opinions of my real friends, who are also influenced.

The entire society is being subtly manipulated to believe they are on opposite sides of many issues when legitimate common ground exists.”

In my most recent role I was the sole person responsible for the recruiting organization at the early stage startup https://lacuna.ai. I created a recruiting workflow from the ground up and led the startup from stealth through funding rounds and increased the headcount from 15 to 45 in less than a year.

Hired senior-level and above engineers, product managers, and sales and marketing professionals. Partnered with hiring managers to continuously refine the white-glove candidate hiring process experience. Automated on-boarding by collaborating with the engineering PM, accounting and HR.

Adapted the interviewing process to be fully virtual during the shutdown. Created and led a summer engineering internship program. Supplied the Product and Partnerships teams with in-depth business research when hiring slowed. Provided emotional leadership during the COVID and BLM crises including working from home tips and anti-racism educational resources.

Looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter position, or, a Talent Manager position, preferably for a smaller startup with a socially meaningful product.
In the late 90s I was part of a group that built a online casino for folks who ran a sports book in the Carribean. Due to legal woes which meant they could not land a license in their Island domicile, they ended up not launching it.

I do remember we hired a post-doc from the Stats department at the nearby University. He insisted that we spend an inordinate amount of time ensuring that the seed to the PRNG was as random as possible. The second thing was using PRNG's that had a long period and other desirable qualities but I think it would be vulnerable to hacking in this manner.
If you get significant tax back year after year and the delay causes you problems, increase your W-4 exemptions until that stops happening. There's no constraint on W-4 claims unless you've had tax consistently (which seems to mean for multiple years, though what the threshold is isn't clear) underwithheld, in which case the IRS may send a lock-in notice to your employer setting a minimum withholding level and preventing reductions, but if you have gotten any tax refund, you aren't having tax underwithheld, so that's not going to affect you.

I agree that many of the people who need to know this don't, though.
> I never said no one wants them; I was very careful to say that I considered it a dark pattern, not that it was a certain dark pattern.

OK fine, perhaps I interpreted your OP incorrectly. That's your prerogative, and you can do whatever you please.

> Also, I don't think any amount of statistics is going to be able to show you if people truly want emails or ads... just because they increase sales doesn't mean people want them. Ads can be both effective and unwanted.

True, but we're not just talking about increased sales.

We, and most companies that are serious about this stuff, track open rates, number of times the same person opened the same email, click rates, text link vs image link clicks, page dwell time after clicking through, session length and bounce rate, which pages they browse, which products they view, were the products related to the email that initiated the session, did they add something to their cart, how frequently this individual engages with our content, how long they were dormant, order frequency, etc.

Basically, we're interested in how "Engaged" you are with the site, brand(s), products and content. People who open every email, click on a bunch of links, hang out on the site for 20 minutes and add stuff to their cart are highly engaged, and are doing actions that indicate they like what they are seeing/receiving.

Remember, the people signing up for marketing emails are the most likely to be engaged with your brand/product/website. They've actively said, yes, please end me content from your company. If they lose interest some day, no problem, either our stats will show this and we'll unsubscribe them automatically, or they'll actively unsubscribe themselves.

Ads might be a different beast - however, you'd be surprised how many people click ads, and then buy products. It's immense. Clearly, the value provided there was getting the right product in front of them, matching what they were looking for, and offering it at a price that's attractive to that customer. In this scenario, I'd say it's wanted too - they got what they were looking for quickly and effectively. Everyone is happy in that scenario.

Everyone else can just run an ad blocker and choose not to subscribe to marketing emails. I do both myself... but I'd never assert these things were unwanted by a lot of people or ineffective.
I suppose the major problem (aside from questionable parts, etc) is that in some factory processes, especially in less developed places, the documentation only captures so much of what has to be done to make something work right.

It usually turns out there's some knowledge during assembly that is preserved by someone or something that's not in the documentation, that is insidiously hidden until you find out later it's gone wrong. And when someone tries to copy the process off of the pure documentation (or worse, just reverse engineering the thing with no documentation), that unwritten process is lost.

And then, you're going to get someone down the line who wonders, "what's this unnecessary part for?" and removes it or ignores when it's missing, and suddenly your rotors start flying apart after 100 hours or something.

At least when the knockoff Hasselblad (Kiev) cameras failed, it just led to a stuck film crank that could be reset, or when a Lada broke down it could be pushed. With a helicopter, not so forgiving...

So no, not a "standoff". Such behavior is certainly sufficient grounds to dismiss any claims of self-defense - lethal force is justified in self-defense when a reasonable person would perceive a threat of imminent death or significant bodily harm; but if you believe something to be a source of such a grave threat, why would you run at it?
Traditionally, you couldn't convert to Hinduism (Hinduism is literlly the set of religions followed by people in South Asia). In modern times, you can convert to Hinduism.

There are also people who lived in suburbs or small towns and hated every minute of it. I personally know quite a few like that.
Canada is one of the most affluent, stable, peaceful nations. For 2019 Canada's GDP per capita just barely missed surpassing Germany. They happen to be a prominent neighbor to the US, their primary cities are positioned next to the US border, and they are likely to get a lot wealthier in the coming decades. If the US gets credit for the bad, it also gets credit for the good (which is the part that critics universally evade at all costs).

In GDP per capita Mexico ranks in front of 120 other nations, including: China, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, and just behind Russia. US imports are 1/3 of their economy; we're running a $100 billion trade deficit with Mexico, which is to their benefit. As an American I'm happy that we're doing that, it's to our benefit that Mexico's economy advances. It has the 15th largest economy in the world and continues to gradually climb. That's despite the intense domestic chaos they've been dealing with there the past ~13 years. As a developing nation their long-term economic potential is immense.
I have heard that the air force bought backup generators to power field installations for ground controllers, etc. These backup generators had a maximum continuous operation time, after which they would shut themselves off. The air force required an override button, so that they could be run longer, even if it meant the generator would destroy itself. If it's powering ground control, and it's the critical moment of the battle, and you can get ten more minutes power but then the generator breaks, you take the ten minutes and let the generator die. And you have to have the ability to do that if you need to.
Transnistria claimed independence a while ago. Only Russia acknowledges their claim but de facto Moldova has lost the monopoly on violence in that small region.

Transnistria is basically following the same pattern as North Georgia or East Ukraine. Step 1 is a "separatists" group pops up overnight and declares independence. Step 2 is the totally legit "separatists" happen to do exactly the things Russia would do if they had annexed the place per se. Step 3 is Russia acknowledges the "independence" of the "breakaway" region and also denies being behind the separatists to begin with. Step 4 is Western leaders send strongly worded letters and symbolic sanctions. Step 5 is everyone forgets and the relationship status is set to "it's complicated".

This is how Russia invades without invading. The relevant term of art is "hybrid warfare".
Tax isn't always only region based. You also need to account for Vat Tax which has a bunch of conditions around it too that you can't assume.

Others have mentioned it but having lived near there its a great place. Tons of outdoor things to do(Rockies near there, trails everywhere). Clean urban area with many sports teams and restaurants/bars. You want urban living you have plenty of condos/appts. You want Suburban living its there as well. Pace of life is great, not a work-til-you die slog like the bay area. Weather is pretty mild compared to the east coast/mid-west. Denver is part of a larger area called the front range which goes from south(colorado springs, to Denver/Aurora, out to Boulder area and north at Fort Collins). That whole area is booming and could be a major tech hotspot in the next 5-10 years.

> you cannot transport groceries or children effectively on a bike.

I had a basket on my bike (hacked together with a plastic crate and some bungie cords) that worked great for hauling groceries (and computer parts / tools - hell, even whole towers - when I was doing freelance computer repair during various periods of unemployment), and I know plenty of people who have little to no issue with bike strollers/trailers for hauling kids.

I'm certainly not saying Apple produces the worst cable. But that Apple only needs to produce a cable that isn't a detriment to the overall product: It usually works and accomplishes it's task. You aren't buying the iPhone based on the quality of the thrown-in charger cable.

Whereas Anker has distinguished itself as a company that makes quality cables... by selling quality cables.
Biggest issue with the hazy IPA style is that they aren’t as well suited for having multiple over the course of an evening. A bit too sweet and thick and sometimes heavy on lactose to really enjoy several.
Absolutely. Being poor is very expensive. I make a good salary and have my car paid off, a ~5 year old SUV. Monday I heard a grinding noise and took it in, new radiator belt fan assembly required, $800. That would cripple someone on minimum wage even without the car payment. On top of that I had to drop ~$300 on some new part for my home AC and $1800 on getting trees cut before hurricane season. 2 weeks before I spent $600 after another tree collapsed into the neighbors yard. Home ownership is another dream they try and sell poor people and they don't tell them how incredibly expensive it is.

In the US, if you are poor it is very hard to become not poor, the few success stories are by and large the exception to the rule. Most people don't have bootstraps made out of luck and fairy dust. In America the greatest predictor of where you end up is where you start.
