Hm, that makes me wonder; is it possible to demagnetize or scramble the data on the mag stripe without harming the chip? I'm not sure how sensitive the chips are to magnetic interference, but if you can pull it off, you can make your own chip-only cards.
Which is obviously nuts. If your developers are ever spending months of their time to work around infrastructure limitations, that means you need more hardware. You could build a new server to handle this job easily for much less than the cost of this person's time.
You still need to store the write pointers somewhere. So this very quickly becomes a game of cat and mouse.
> according to Intel, it happened only when the microcode was loaded by the kernel; they probably had tested only loading it from the firmware

I followed the Spectre situation quite closely, and never heard anything along those lines. Do you have a source?

Many system vendors pulled the faulty firmware from their own sites, and Dell went so far as to recommend rolling back if you had installed it, so the partner ecosystem didn't want people running the firmware at all.

I started to build IndieLog (formerly Lonely Dev) since the lockdown to fix my own problem. The other project Backlogs is like a by-product while building IndieLog.

Yes, and all of those works that you're thinking of were written either by individuals from wealthy families (today we would call them trust fund babies), royalty, clergyman, or artists funded by patrons from one of the first 3 groups.

I disagree about the "less books, more quality" argument. Today, we have more books, more quality. Sure, there are lots of bad books today, but the volume of high-quality works today so far exceeds the volume of any books (good or bad) produced during the patronage era that it's like comparing a nuclear bomb to a match.
One the one hand it's sad that it'll be impossible, practically and perhaps even physically, to archive all of Youtube should Google ever decide to axe it, on the other hand even though I'm fanatically a datahoarder, the thought of archiving youtube just seems... exhausting? Pointless? Haha I'm not sure.

Then again just imagine how fantastically useful 40 years worth of video a day could be to a historian 200 years from now. I think the most important technology going forward will be analysis and indexing software, to make searching videos like this possible. Ted Chiang wrote a short story about that, where you could search like "that time I got in a fight with my wife about the toilet seat being up," and you'd get a video from the incident.

He's talking about operational safety - your application applies validation to inputs to the database. This ensures that only valid data is stored.

What happens if you have a field that's supposed to be 0-9, but it's an int field and someone types in 22 on accident? Sure it might be valid for the database, but it's not valid for the application.

There's certainly different ways to take the problem, but it needs to be considered.

That's true, but in my experience, they also just memorize the ".then(result =>" pattern and make exactly the same mistake.
A huge number of devices today (mobile or not) have their disk encryption keys protected by secure boot or similar mechanism where the TPM vends the keys only when securely booted, and they are not breakable trivially. So I'd say the answer is yes.
I found this from a public FirstData document:

"Codes written on the track with equivalent data stored on the chip to prevent fraud. All chip cards are issued with the card security code on the track data stored on the magnetic stripe and chip card security code stored on the chip. Calculated with the same DES key but with a ‘999’ service code"

The exam policy is corporate rent-seeking. The people who are actually doing the work are far more likely than not to personally side with the customer, although they're not going to risk their jobs (and possible future blacklisting) over it. Making any sort of even temporary personal connection with the person giving you the test will probably get you your pupil distance if you ask.
You make a valid point, which I probably should have mentioned, that this doesn't apply for stateful calls. But in my experience it's a common use-case (at least on the front-end) to grab two or more independent datasets, from stateless endpoints, at the same time, for display purposes. And putting those into a sequence can have a dramatic impact on perceived performance. I don't think a performance factor of 2x or more is a micro-optimization that one should hold off on making until a later pass.

Reading the linked article, and not the full text of the article, I do not see what the criteria was for determining what constitutes a position "opposing climate action." Is it defined more in the full article? Opposing climate action can be defined on a broad spectrum, which will cross political and other boundaries. For instance, if a company or group opposed Green New Deal legislation, that is a big difference from opposing implementation of any action.
This isn't a diversion. This is the crisis.

They're trying to suspend elections, and possibly pull dictator style election. Trump has been talking about this since 2017, and rubs shoulders with dictator types like Putin -- who just got his own political extension -- and Bolsonaro.
I'm still reading the article, but this stood out to me:

> More than 300bn emails are said to be sent every day and if only one-third originate on Gmail—a conservative estimate—then a stack of print-outs would be 10,000km high.

I don't think that's a conservative estimate at all. In fact, I'd say it's a massive over-estimation.

Only one type of email is dominated by Gmail: personal email. I don't know about everyone, but I don't see many personal emails being sent.

Lots of those emails are for work, and there Gmail is not dominant at all. It's not insignificant, but Microsoft is a significantly larger part of the pile.

Another very large part of the total is automated emails, which are not sent through Gmail either.

Since Google Cloud doesn't include an email service, I'd go so far as to guess that more email originates from Amazon (SES) than from Google.
Exactly, unless you make the UBI ungarnishable and useless for loans the payday predators will just find a way to drive those dependent into debt until they take all the UBI they can from as many as they can. What % of current homeless will that be?

Still, I hear UBI proponents say that you have to allow loan payments, because otherwise it's not fungible basic income. I disagree and think BI doesn't need financial engineering on top.

Most of the people who are poor are more careful with their money than you are. The poor aren't poor via consumption. They are poor because they lack the skills needed to earn a better living.
The difference is that if 9 people watch 99 hours of A's let's plays or last 2 music videos on repeat, and one person watched 1 hour of B's 20 well-researched and edited 3-minute educational videos, A-watchers put in $90, B-watchers put in $10, and under global popularity A gets $99 and B gets $1. Local pooling would mean that A gets $90 and B gets $10. This is my main complaint against Youtube Red too.
I am also a creator (software, music, and video). I would also be fine with 28+28 terms, but might argue that software shouldn't get the +28.

Ideally all positive change would happen legislatively. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the reality we live in. I've argued in comments on other posts that some laws require visible lawbreaking before legislation changes. In that reality, it's hard to talk about working within the system of existing rules because the rules were placed by unmatchable lobbying. Since those on the other side of the debate lack the capital to overpower those who control the media (control the media and you control the message), some other way is required to get visibility and push for laws to change.
I was referring to net corporate profits (revenue minus expenses) which aren't impacted by share buybacks. Share buybacks reduce the number of shares outstanding and increase the earnings per share, but don't impact net income.
I don't own a car and cycle everywhere in my city. On a $300 bike with a milk crate lashed to the rear rack it came with because I really don't want to worry about locking up something pricier, or worry about destroying it on the many pothole.

I just use Google Maps's cycling directions, combined with my own mental map of things like "tree coverage" which is kind of important for avoiding heatstroke in a tropical city. I've never seen a map provider that even begins to track that.

All the cycling apps seem to be designed for people who want to train to be racers. I give zero fucks about that. I just wanna get where I need to go, or drift aimlessly around the city when I need some exercise.
Of course - I never said there was no expression in sign language. But I don't think that expression has as many degrees of freedom as using voice. Plus as the article said - it's tiresome.

The influx of money is toxic because Haskell's traditional reputation (roughly: difficult to learn, but fast, smart & correct) is being co-opted to add a veneer of legitimacy to crypto scams.

I also wouldn't say the problem is to do with "right wing people". Nobody's born with a political affiliation: we learn and digest information and experience all through our lives, swinging towards and away from different values at different times. This can especially depend on our social circles, our information-bubbles, what benefits us personally, etc.

The crypto-bubble tends to discourage regulation, accountability, etc. which makes it attractive to right-wing politics, whether as a libertarian free-for-all; or money-laundering for the gentry; or whatever. When this sector has an outsized influence on a particular community, the political gradient will be tilted accordingly, and bias people's random walks to the right.

Haskell may be great at solving the technical problems with crypto, but that doesn't solve its ethical or philosophical problems. Yet, as the old saying goes, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it".
I find it interesting that the programming community is willing to 'donate' billions of dollars worth of value as FLOSS every year, many of which are for tools used by authors also.

Yet even during a pandemic, when visiting a physical library can literally be life threatening, most mainstream authors, (there are exceptions, but few and far between), still hold onto their "intellectual property rights" with all they can.

Is there an industry that gives a similar/larger amount away for free in value? Serious question.

The only other thing I can think of is various volunteering doctors and the like, but I am specifically interested in terms of "intellectual property" value produced.
Agreed. I got excited about podcasts really early on because there are so many interesting deep dives on so many topics. There are exceptions but most traditional radio shows cover topics briefly, terribly, or both. The fact that podcasts have exploded in popularity is strong evidence that many people enjoy more detailed discussions on many subjects, they just didn't much access to them in traditional media.
This implies that their definition begins and ends with that paragraph. I would tend to go to them and ask them to verify that this limiting definition was exactly what they had in mind (as opposed to a simple blurb); that additional lending controls are in use by IA, including controls which are not explicitly written into that paragraph, is something that is easily validated online.

If they do agree with you that the paragraph you pasted is their end-to-end definition of "controlled," that means they haven't yet incorporated these other controls into their definition, and they definitely still can and should.

There's no singular time limit or definite requirement to define such things in this case, and IA have engaged lots of controls, from HTTPS and authentication on up to content-level media and time controls.
I do not believe language began in the hands for a simpler reason than I'm seeing in the rest of the comments here. Here's my armchair philosophy:

How do you begin a conversation? You first have to get the other person's attention. You can't get someone's attention with sign language if they are not looking at you.

Necessity breeds invention, and the ultimate necessity is survival. If a chimp sees a pack of hyenas coming, she doesn't walk in front of each chimp in her clan and point to the hyenas. Instead she makes some kind of guttural yell to make the clan aware of the danger. The clan then looks at her, and then utilizes body language of her eye tracking or pointing. The most dangerous situations in nature are when one is not aware of a threat because one cannot see it, and vocalization can solve that in ways sign language cannot. This behavior (vocalization used before signing) is exhibited in most social mammals.

Assuming we evolved from primates, I'm betting it's likely vocalizations were already an established form of communication before humans as we know them began coming up with more advanced signs, but by that point we likely had more advanced vocalizations as well. Since vocalizations have a better SYN/ACK methodology, it was the easier and more effective form of communication throughout our entire history.

If we are talking about the same time period as the book (which opens up in the 30's, I believe) then you would absolutely be persecuted for having contacts with the West. And by contact, it could be something as innocuous as you were happened to a tailor who worked on diplomat's clothing.

The law was written to make it illegal to be suspected of counter-revolutionary activities. So it's the burden is not to prove the crime, just to prove the suspicion of a crime.
From the article -- After The Economist went to press Alphabet was expected to report the first year-on-year decline in quarterly revenues in its history, hurt by the pandemic-induced tightening of marketing budgets.

I've found Ubuntu LTS to be a reasonable balance between stability and "newness," and many applications and libraries test with it.
A very good example of how bad and wrong things can go with governments is comparing what the founding members of the USA fought for, with the status quo. Basic rights that they fought for back then are almost completely gone today, including freedom of speech, where you can get cancelled for simply speaking your mind and even the truth. Not to mention personal taxation which brought everyone back to slavery -- something they warned about 200 years ago.
It is not difficult to see the train coming at the other end of the government supported UBI tunnel.
You'll find out after biking around for a week or two where the main corridors with minimal elevation are, especially along the main route you take. At this point after ~3 years I know 95% of the best routes to get to/from any within the city proper, and I check directions just for the ending last few blocks since that can make the difference between a steeeeeeep climb or a simple circle around 2 more blocks that's flat.

I also don't have any problem with respect to no bike lanes and crowded streets though, so that might be a bit more difficult to discover. I use Google Maps and it's pretty solid at taking you an extra .25 miles or so just to get you on a dedicated bike lane within the city, and you can always streetview points on your route if you want to double check what it looks like.
Not the best editor for schema design I would say. MySQL workbench is great in that respect. Wish something of that sort existed for other dbs.

TLA+ operates at a different level both conceptually and in the SDLC than programming languages like Dafny or Rust. TLA+ is a design language rather than an implementation language and this permeates a lot of its foundations.

FWIW you can already use Dafny to write individual modules in real-world programs (it compiles to .NET and therefore interoperates with e.g. C#), although there are still some rough edges given the tiny size of its community, and the documentation for doing this is rather fragmentary.

As for the difference between Dafny and Rust, Rust really has only one big unique trick up its sleeve which is its affine types. Otherwise its approach is entirely compatible with Dafny's (and indeed there are efforts to port over some the same ideas between Dafny to Rust, see e.g. https://alastairreid.github.io/rust-verification-tools/). Those will take a long time though to come to fruition because formal verification is still a hard problem.
It's totally reasonable to like a physical office and all it brings, but the above is a bit slanted.

I've worked remote in various forms since the late 90s. I've formed very important friendships with people halfway around the world I'd have never met in a local office. There's more than one way to socialize, and online socializing has some advantages too, not just drawbacks.
I will look into all of that. One thing I have learned today is that while an internal tool might be extremely battle-tested against a narrow slice of use cases and environments, public scrutiny will uncover numerous issues.
I did have this misunderstanding when relearning Promises and Async/Await in JS. The misunderstanding is actually not about await but about when a Promise is executed. The question you ask yourself when learning Promises is why calling await on a promise directly vs calling it on a variable containing a promise is different. Of course the root cause of the misunderstanding is not understanding Promises are executed immediately and await blocks on a promise. So creating a promise after an await causes the second promise to be executed after the awaited promise is resolved.

For me I still had my mental model from a lazy execution environment (Dask) and that’s where my misconception came from.

Given we are living in 2020, there have to have been efforts or thought-experiments dedicated to archiving YouTube (would love to read about them if they exist). It seems 'almost' impossible like you said, even if we disregard, say channels with less than 100 subscribers (just as an example).
