‘Two people’ misses the entire problem here.

If twitter ‘verified’ means anything, it means a chain of identity has been established between Twitter and the purported owner of that account. That chain should be documented somewhere - there must be some record in the ‘verified account management’ system that says something to the effect of ‘after we gave this actual verified human this token, this email from this address arrived on this date containing that token, establishing that this person had control over that email address on that date’.

If random twitter admins can change the email address and disable 2fa on verified twitter accounts, and those accounts can still publish tweets without them going into a ‘held pending verification that the blue check mark still applies to the person now in control of that account’ queue, then twitter verification doesn’t mean much.

Which might be of interest to organizations like the SEC who hold that communications over a verified twitter account count as official corporate notices, and various public safety organizations that have let it be known that messages on their twitter can be relied on as a source of official information during natural disasters...

Twitter needs to get serious about blue checks.

You mean "to the right of the Democratic party". It is not in fact the case that black voters lean to the right of the median in US politics.
With all their recent moderation changes over the years Youtube have stupidly opened themselves up to these kinds of lawsuits and it'll be what opens up oportunity for a competitor to take over.

The DMCA take down system was a legal requirement and one that was hands off, submission, manual verification and action. By moderating things like hacking or covid videos automatically they have opened a massive can of litigation smack down on themselves.

Lawyers have attorney-client privilege because courts have construed it essential for upholding the 6th Amendment's decree of right to counsel. If the press is seen as a surveillance apparatus for the police, you believe that has no implications on the First Amendment's freedom of press?
The cops are after evidence on arson and gun theft, not protests, as the headline says.
this is more than that.

I've seen people try to play this game. They'll pretend they want to buy you/partnership/invest/be a client and then ask pointed questions: "What dependencies are you using on your backend for XYZ ... have you found any issues with that? If you were going to rewrite it, how would you approach it?"

In the weeds questions about detailed implementation. "Do you have a detailed architecture diagram?" etc. People who haven't seen it are like "boy they are serious. Look at their diligence"

These people need to up their street smarts game: "Nah bro, they're just stealing shit."

How do you know? Check who's in the room/on the call. Ask yourself what kind of decisions these people would make. Find out who they are.

Amazon has been actually pretty light with this practice. They're pretty picky but the right people have been in the room and they haven't really gone deep into the spy questions. The real nasty violators are companies like uber and microsoft. I wouldn't be surprised if they had actual
corporate spy departments.

We had GM try to do it but they were bumblers. It was kinda cute. It also seems to be mostly American. I've dealt with a lot of Japanese and Chinese businesses and they were all genuine. If they said they wanted a partnership for reason X, then they indeed want a partnership for reason X.

If they want to steal the tech and go to other markets then there's clear nonexclusive and rights parts of the contract. It's not the "100% lies all the way down" of Uber.

It depends on how good you are at solving coding puzzles. Checkout LeetCode. Many people post their experiences interviewing for companies there. My guess is the problems are hard so it would require months of training solving coding problems and memorizing system design questions.
Because “riots”, “mobs”, and “chaos” are racially charged words that are used in lieu of the proper terminology—protests.

Density is a function of zoning laws. They should just fix the zoning and make sure it has adequate density to support business.

I think citizens can vote with their dollar where they want to live. I hate suburbia, but I’m also not into super central downtown living. I want something in between. I’m ok with a townhouse and no backyard, as long as there’s a park nearby. I’m up for living with neighbours in a dense area, but only if I can get something for it, like shared neighbourhood amenities and small businesses in walking distance.

Montreal is a good example for North America. Not all of it is perfect, but a lot of it is mixed zoning.

As someone who just said that exact thing upthread, half of it is general curmudgeonry. VHDL is not a terrible language, though it does have terrible tools. The IDE side of things is a big opportunity to improve the language. Making refactoring easier by not needing to manually touch up three different files to fix one name is a huge help. (And the IDEs have probably improved in recent times; I've done mostly hardware recently.) The compilers/synthesizers... those are vendor crud and so dragons lie there. VHDL-2008 support would go a long way to improving life....

What the heck? How would they even know? Neighbours reported seeing them carrying new cabinets in? The store reported it to the government? That's just weird.
You get all kinds, possibly depending on when the town was established. For many of the Chicago suburbs, there is a defined "business district" where most of the restaurants, bars, barbershops, etc are. This may very well be a couple of streets that run all the way across town. Frequently, every 4th or 8th street is "arterial", and the bulk of the businesses will be on those streets. So you have a few to several blocks of "internal" streets where there is indeed only residential housing.
Generally, I like this a lot. The key is that for it to work, you must build taller, but it doesn't have to be all that tall. I've lived in several places that had great walkability, and they all had one thing in common: They were built before the invention of the automobile.

The best for walkability was Berlin, which, in the inner part, is mostly 5-6 story buildings. Within two blocks there were numerous stores and about 8 restaurants and a few bars. I also lived in an older suburb of mostly single family houses, but the lots weren't that big, and every house was two stories.

The key to walkability is that you need density. For a business to get much foot traffic, you need a good population in the walkable catchment area, and for that you need density. To get density, you need to build up. Unfortunately, building up is more expensive. Another thing that's helpful is alleys. If you put the garage behind the house, you don't need as much frontage width for driveways and garage doors.
However, they actually don't know it's Christmas (elsewhere) on Dec 25, because the Ethiopian Orthodox Church follows the Coptic calendar and celebrates Christmas on January 7th.

Mac's, PC's, OSX, Linux, Windows, I bet anything overheats when it touches "modern" conferencing technologies (which really is just WebRTC behind the scenes in many cases)... What is really curios is that even without video, thus just audio, it still gets hot...

Heck, even opening GMail or doing light browsing makes my laptop try to take-off from the desk (due to fans going full throttle)...

Who knows... Perhaps every site, sorry "web-app", is overtly doing crypto-mining behind the scenes... :) :)
In my 55 years of experience and seeing friends, family and others around me, having some kind of mission is critical.

You just have to have something to aim for with your spouse, or you do get bored. Currently where I live, i see families working in the family business all the time and they really are forced to be together working on something.

Whereas their children just want to move from the provinces and live in an apartment with a spouse and they are miserable, because they don't have something to work together with.

They think having the house, the wife and the car is enough. It isn't. It's just the recipe for a midlife crisis after you get all of those things.

I also wrote something like this a while ago. I created a GitHub Gist so you can compare: https://gist.github.com/T0astBread/1e04aed3c8e1c3f19d5fc5e5a...

Someone mentioned how much they miss beveled buttons and how every button would be cooler with a beveled edge so I thought "well how about making everything beveled then", then I got a little carried away...

Anyways, mine is utterly impractical. I don't know how but I managed to make the site sluggish with just CSS. It's probably also broken in Chrome. This looks extremely cool in comparison!
This is why everyone should be raising hell over things like RealID and the requirement for you to allow the Federal government to get a hold of biometrics for you in order to fly.

This is also why Third Party Doctrine is screaming for reassessment in the wake of expanded capabilities for meta information collection, storage and reproduction.

In the past, your recordings/pictures/artifacts of reporting were physical things that cost time, money, and effort to reproduce. No one would want to ask for anymore than is absolutely necessary due to the inconvenience. Nowadays, with terabytes of data being able to be stored in the palm of one's hand, and copied, moved in minutes, there is a much greater risk for old precedents to turn into dangerous overreach based upon the sheer exaggeration of the capability to get blood from the stone of a photograph.

Get a picture with a partial match in a database of a subject? Spin by their residence with a a Stingray and sniff some IMEI's. Take that to a telco, Google, or a data broker, and geofence. Or look at the latest data dump acquired and see if you can match them with some data point in the area.

In this age, the things we can do with data scare the ever loving bajeezus out of me, and it's not that I don't want LE to be unable to do their jobs, but we really need to get a societal handle on how we treat digital footprint. Otherwise, it's not that far to a world nobody wants to see or live.

These scams are so stupid I can't believe people actually fall for them in significant numbers, let alone after all this time they've been going on.

The scams must be part of some kind of bitcoin laundering scheme, I just can't figure out how, it seems more like a bitcoin tainting scheme rather than cleaning.
Intel Considers What Was Once Heresy: Not Manufacturing Chips
Those "legends" joined the company very early and had opportunities that don't exist today. Why idolize them? Some of them are not good people. There are plenty of people who would do legendary things if the company let them.
One missing link is that most highways in the US were plowed through "low value" land areas, usually either industrial areas or minority areas of any wealth bracket.

If racism and classism didn't exist, we probably would've built less highways because building them through any residential areas would've been politically impossible (indeed, the first successful freeway revolts were centered around rich, white areas.) Given that it would basically be impossible to draw a straight line through an urban area without hitting a residential area, it would've made highway travel for commuting much less feasible, making it much harder for suburbanization to spread widely due to longer road travel times.

As a comparison, Frankfurt in western Germany has a population of 5.8M and land area of 5,700 sq mi. Atlanta has a metro population of 6M and land area of 10,494 sq mi.
Hm, i Doth say the fragile man might be insecure
That brings up another interesting and off topic aside.

I made plenty of $bad_life_decisions until 12 years ago. So early retirement is out of the question. But that’s okay, I’ve never hated my career, my previous jobs at times definitely.

But, with a paid off house, the amount of savings I should be able to amass in 20 years by the time I’m 65, and hopefully social security is still a thing. With today’s rules, your spouse can either collect their social security or half of yours while you are both still living. We could easily live off of an (inflation adjusted) $4500 SS + the hopeful retirement savings.

Only one of these ships will set sail, leave the harbor, reach a set of map points, follow that course and arrive at its destination. Regardless of being driven off course due to bad weather or other circumstance, only one has a real chance.

Sort of. Purpose means perseverance is useful. Lack of purpose means perseverance, resilience or even the least effort can be wasted.

I love this idea of making executables contain assets, and it fits well with the Go ethos of a single (statically built) executable. This makes distribution simpler for applications that do need to deal with assets of different kinds.

A tangential comment: is anyone else concerned a bit that discussions and debates happen on platforms like GitHub and reddit? These two platforms are large enough to be around for quite sometime, but are we making it easier to lose historical context because platform creators/designers are choosing third party platforms that they don’t host or control (or in some instances don’t or can’t pay for)?
A competitor would have to do a lot, unfortunately, to compete with YouTube. YouTube is so much more than just video hosting, and enough time has passed without any serious competition that YouTube is nearly insurmountable. Sure, you can make a YouTube "clone" easily, but does it support live streaming at large scale? Does it allow for superchats? Can it serve 4k? What about buying and watching shows and movies? The only thing that comes close to competing is TikTok, which is a gimmick and not truly in the same space. There's BitChute, but because that becomes the refuge for all the people kicked off YouTube, it's easy for the media to paint them as "far right"; the same will likely be true for anyone who creates a real alternative to YouTube.
> Like other similar stores, her rent went up 5x and she shuttered.

Want to know the best way to protect against exceedingly high prices? Increase supply. If the market had enough supply to meet its own demand, then that situation wouldn’t be possible. The number one thing that holds back the supply of real estate is insane zoning and planning regulation.

The idea that permanently preserving nonsense like the “character” of neighbourhood, at the cost of affordable housing and business rent has to be one of the most anti-social mobility, anti-equality, openly classist ideas we have in our society. “But what if somebody builds an apartment tower next to my expensive Victorian house?”, good! Maybe there’ll be less people sleeping on the streets and in their cars because of it.
I'm curious to hear how you are making the jump from "empiricism and the scientific method are simply better at making predictions about the world" to deriving any kind of moral order that instructs how you ought to act in this world.

Don't think of it as one overriding mission. That's very rare. But think of it as a small series of missions ofter overlapping concurrently.

You completed your mission of IT Security. But then you realized you love professional sales. Now you can aim to be the best in that.

For example, I'm a really good programmer for the past 30 years. But now I found i absolutely love online marketing -- so much more than writing Ruby, Erlang and Elixir it's not even close!

Now my mission is to do things related marketing. And I'm putting projects together that will keep me busy doing it. Loving it is not enough, so I force myself to practice it every day by marketing for real customers and products.
You are correct though the exact numbers don't matter. Intel is already behind and is having problems where as other manufacturers are moving to smaller nodes. Exact node size does not matter just the fact that Intel is being left behind
