The problems with Android are typically caused by apps that actually make it to the official Play Store. The cause of that is poor reviewing by Google, nothing to do with OS issues.

A mac-like system for iOS would work just fine.

I love the "modifying version 1 is left as an exercise to the viewer."

Qemu bios?
It's a self-hosted Twitter alternative. With the added benefit that the different instances can share posts with each other.

So you could be part of one Mastodon instance, but still see posts from others on the other instances.
Maybe not, but it still makes them easier to trace.
Not that but you could punish companies severely for the security practices that led to the hack. If those are high enough, it could make better security cheaper than paying randsom.
Oppressors can (and I think some already do) subvert HTTPS by mandating installation of government-issued certs so they can do their MITM.
They already did, years ago!
> The entire point of CSS is to separate style from structure.

Keeping your CSS and HTML completely separate just doesn't work in practice though e.g. we still need to throw in ad-hoc wrapper `div`s because CSS isn't powerful enough to do what we want, we have to pollute the HTML with class names that have little semantic relevance outside of styling as we're creating the styling, and it's a pipe dream that designers can jump in and help with the styling without help from the programmers.

It's a nice idea but keeping HTML and CSS 100% separate hasn't panned out - people need to accept that and stop promoting the separation of CSS and HTML dogmatically. The reason there's so many CSS frameworks and different ways to do the same thing on the frontend is a strong evidence we're still figuring out the best way to do things. CSS has been out for around 20 years now and it still doesn't do what we need it to.

Also, if you're keeping your data (like blog posts, product information) in a database, your data is already separate from your UI/styling. What are you gaining by splitting up your styling further? Is a similar level of splitting up done in other (non-HTML) UI frameworks?

Linux Kernel 5.8 Is Here. This Is What's New
Are you saying it is a bad test because it overestimates the difficulty? If so, I agree that it overestimates the difficulty. My argument is that nobody would dare to accept such a test, which is clearly an overestimate of difficulty, therefore nobody is even close to achieving the actual number. If you wanted a more accurate estimate of security you would probably need to bump it up by a factor of 3-5x to account for execution risk.

If you are not, I am not sure what you are arguing since all of your statements show how the test overestimates the difficulty. The test is designed to identify, with reasonably high confidence, whether any attack is profitable given a specific upside. Therefore it should be as easy as possible for a legitimate bug that could result in at least a $4.5M upside to be paid.

A 100% guaranteed legal payout clearly minimizes the risk and thus allows more attacks below a $4.5M cost to execute to be profitable. Any other form of payout means the cost to execute must be lower to be profitable. Put another way, if it is unprofitable to do it totally legally for some amount of money, it is probably even more unprofitable to do it illegally for the same amount of money (obviously this excludes cases where you might be able to gain a higher upside, but then we are not talking about mitigating attacks with a certain upside), therefore this estimate should be no lower than the true cost to execute (on average).

To use your examples:

If they want a decent ROI, the cost of attack must be significantly less than $4.5M to execute to be a good investment. ROI of illegal actions usually needs to be higher to make up for the risk since you would almost always choose a legal action with the same ROI.

If the probability of payout is less than 100%, then the cost of attack must be less than $4.5M to make up for the reduced probability of success. The probability of payout for a bug bounty is usually higher than the highly variable payout of an attack. Also since the buyer is using this to make a quality decision and has authority to force the vendor to pay out with the stated scheme, it is in the buyers best interest to pay out credible attacks.

If the non-legal nature is a serious cost, then the cost of attack must be less than $4.5M for the illegal case to make up for the extra risk and cost. Non-legal actions usually come with extra costs compared to legal actions and thus have to be even more profitable to be worth doing.

Therefore, if a $4.5M bug bounty (where payout is decided by the product buyer) is not claimed after some reasonable amount of time we can conclude, with some reasonable amount of confidence, that the lowest risk option is likely unprofitable. Therefore, higher risk illegal options with the same upside are even less likely to be profitable. Thus, the test is a relatively good lower-bound for identifying if attacks with a $4.5M upside are actually being mitigated. If you can not even institute this lower bound, then you are nowhere near the necessary level.
I don't think that budget is the problem. You can be very safe without a big budget. It's a lack of priority and management valuing quick development over security.
Huh. They do mention this as "potential obvious advantage" in the post I linked:

I do not want to question that, I was rather questioning the statement that "you'd be hailed as a revolutionary genius." if you introduce version control or package management.

PLM software exists since a long time but I agree that it might not serve user needs optimally. But this is more a market failure than a technical problem.

I would be willing to pay an amount for better quality news than what can be found for free, however news outlets always seem to lean one way. I want somebody to just report and not tilt it in one direction.
Sure. At some other company, I interviewed a bunch of candidates in a section that was mostly about knowing how the protocols we dealt with work and how one might build a toy version of the software we worked on. For a section like this, it's easy to help candidates too much or too little, or to let one's preconceived notions about the candidate color one's recommendation too much. I am again concerned that I may have some actual ability to predict the candidate's performance (to the extent that people's knowledge of protocols and understanding of how to write server software exists as a real thing rather than a thing that I made up) from their resume, but now I additionally worry that as far as debiasing goes, just making predictions and comparing them to outcomes will not be doing nearly enough. I would prefer not to have such a section, but I am usually not in charge of these things.

> But it's not about whether they solve the problem, it's about observing their problem-solving process... right? ;)

I did not say that the interview process at that company was my favorite or was the same as the one in the OP.

That said, my experience as a candidate at FAANG and smaller-but-not-super-small companies has generally been that I must at a minimum solve the problem, and that sometimes I must also solve it exactly the way some rubric says it is to be solved, so that providing an unusual approach that uses half the space and just as much time as the best approach the department has heard of also causes one to fail.
I don't know where you are located, but in Norway, the "app" market (J2ME apps) was huge. It worked kinda like how the ringtone market worked.
I don't know how doctors would feel but maybe it's time to have a system to query more than one doctor for patient's ailments. Instead of waiting to run into the occasional pro that actually knows your issue and fix it with a switch.

No need for moonshot AI just an large aggregative system that let's curious doctor that are very capable in a subfield scan open issues for diagnosis.
The problem is less for the children, but the social environment they live in. And that doesn't end at the teachers or their parents.

To my knowledge, the grand-parents have a much greater role in child-care in Spain and Italy, than in Germany and Sweden. To complicate matters, closing all schools and kindergardens even increased their importance, as parents still had to work somehow. Probably, closing the schools _might_ have even made things worse, as someone has to take care of them.

But that is not necessarily an argument in favour of opening them again.
It shows, how children, while largely unaffected, have potentially a huge impact on the spread of the virus.
That's not what the "law" says at all.

I appreciate the journalist's work, but I still confused if there is exist the standart way to count COVID-19 death.

> Tehran, the capital, has the highest number of deaths with 8,120 people who died with COVID-19 or symptoms similar to it.

Not sure how Iran had formalized the similar symptoms and if they count death from another deceases that were triggered by COVID-19.

Imo the cover-up reasons seems weak.
PCB design at anything close to modern switching speeds is anything but easy.
C4D is beautiful software - Blender is making strides, maybe 3 years it would take, but Blender is in feature acquisition mode, not improving the codebase/current functionality.
> Brexiteers won't be reasoned with and being reasonable is seen as weakness by them.

Theresa May's deal was remain in all but name and there was multiple opportunities to vote in favour of it over a period of years. The only compromise willing to be accepted by the remain camp was complete capitulation.

Meanwhile in the real world, a company I develop for implemented the most draconian security measures to "prevent ransomware".

Development environment is a virtual machine at the other end of the world, with disabled copy-pasting from and to the local system. A complete separation between safe internal network and unsafe development environment. No copy pasting from and to email, etc. Horrible environment to work in.
Biopolitics
You mean something a bit like - what's the word? - a patent?

That won't solve the problem, because this is not a software problem. It's an economic problem.

To maximise profit you need to dominate a market by 1) locking out competitors 2) forcing customers to give you money 3) spending as little as possible on continued development.

This happens because that's how capitalism works. It's an inevitable consequence. Effectively it becomes a form of rent-seeking, where corporations charge their "tenants" money for access to a resource. And as long as the product sort of works some of the time corporations can claim customers are getting something of value.

But really these corporations are like bad landlords, charging users a huge monthly rent and never fixing the leaky roof.

The answer would be more along the lines of a user's association - effectively a "union" for users which was prepared to fight aggressive and expensive class actions to challenge ridiculous licensing terms and make corporations accountable for consequential damage and lost time caused by bugs.

This may sound extreme, but when there's no competition - because competing products have been bought and shut down or left to rot - it's a de facto antitrust situation. Governments are unlikely to enforce this, so class actions to challenge unreasonable contract terms and assert that in fact there are obligations towards users may be the only way to fix this.

Spend $20 million paying Blender and FreeCAD/CalculiX developers to build an open-source system.

Oh man, you're giving me flashback to days spent resetting max's preferences over and over trying to fix a bug. Like, how does the config folder keep getting corrupted? Why? It makes no sense.
Surely this is nothing to worry about, given that (according to the Guardian's worldview) we have hundreds of doctors, engineers and scientists arriving at the coast of Kent by dinghy every day. You wonder why the French let them leave!

This is a really useful site, I looked at it when the Brexit vote happened but I was told I couldn't apply until the UK actually exited. Since we have now technically left the EU, but we haven't actually left it for any legal, economic or trade purposes, do you know if I can start applying?

Trust me - you never want to work on a job where the new owner wants Issue For Construction in Bently Microstation and you have 10, 000 Autocad files from 30% initial engineering. It's not fun.
I think it is incredibly hard to not tilt one way. After all, organisations are run by humans and we all have our own leanings. It is very much possible when we hire people those leanings bias us towards a certain ideology and we may hire like minded individuals. Also, people who don't fit the ideological tilt might feel left out and may leave on their own. So, over time a media organisation will come to represent one side more.

This all in addition to the biases that can come from the owners/company bankrolling the media house.
It's also quite hard to get a work visa for UK. Also, Germany already has a skilled\tech\finance program for non-EU citizens
In Portugal you can actually make a payment as "Confidential or Undocumented Expense" (with no invoice supporting it), making it taxable instead of tax deductible.
I don't advertise my instance, it also blocks registrations from anyone outside of EU, but I have the same policy.

I'm as left as left gets, my family and friends are made up of several activists. But I also am annoyed with how hate speech and right wing people are moderated.

My opinion is that they should first of all be reasoned with. And if you can't reason with them then each user may block them on their own.

But to just block their entire instance, or "Gab", is to sweep a bunch of HUMANS under the carpet and not even attempt to communicate with them. That goes against my core principles.
You don't have to pay Bill $40/hour in wages, you could have probably hired someone who could do the job for $30/hour.

Yet, regardless of how much you pay Bill, his wages are tax-deductible.
Blender and Fusion on the geometry editing level are completely different beasts. Blender uses and edits meshes. Fusion360 and other CAD software primarily work on boundary representations which effectively represents a volume as a set of equations for surfaces and topological graph data. It allows for some neat operations but also makes it extremely difficult to handle correctly and a lot of the work in handling these operations is covering edge cases.

It's an amazing way to move to the EU, and in Germany it's a really easy way to get Permanent Residence (you can do it in 21 months, if you learn German up to B1, or 36 otherwise). It also guarantees a high enough salary (55k minimum).

It's a real thing. Take f.lux: they spearheaded a feature, were never allowed onto iOS, then Apple developed a copycat feature.

EDA is at least simple text formats that work well with git, etc. I've seen lots of good version control of EDA using standard tools. I don't think I've ever seen good version control of mechanical CAD. The files are large, binary, not really diff'able, and almost every file is touched in every session.

And the proprietary "Product Data/Lifecycle Management" tools are expensive, bloated and hard to use.
I am personally very happy a company has come along to build something useful while charging a (fair?) price for it.

So happy that we just bought a team license for Tailwind UI.

Too many marketplaces exist where there is no value-add instead of sitting in the middle.
Agreed. Even if you get past the first layer, which is to create something that sells. You’re still left with organisational biases. Then after that personal reporter biases.

It would take a large conscious effort to get past all of these.
I believe Blender's UI is still confusing and is infuriating to me.

Disclaimer: I am an amateur when it comes to 3D modelling, but I was able to figure out pretty much everything I needed to make things in Lightwave back in the 90's, but even after watching several tutorials I still struggle with Blender.
I'm so sick of this. Yes Gwynne is great, but to deny or downplay that Elon is by far the most important person at the company is just nonsense that she wouldn't even agree with.

I hate to talk against here because she is awesome. But this social trick where everytime SpaceX does anything, the Anti-Elon crowed have to truck out the 'actually its all the enlighted levelheaded female president' not the 'nasty meme-obscessed man child asshole' is actually responsable for all the success argument, its so fucking tiered and inaccurate.

You didn't go there fully but the amount of people who argue that SpaceX achieves what it does despite Elon is just stagering. People seem to believe any bullshit if it confirms their bias.

Again, I love Gwynne she is great and so are others who work at SpaceX now or have done in the past. They achieve what they do as a team, at the same time its no question who leads the team, who makes the most important choices, who owns and controls the company.
I don’t think people disagree more than they ever used to. I do think however that people are much more likely to judge those who disagree with them as simply being bad people, and are therefor willing to just dismiss their point of view entirely. Which is pretty much what the parent comment is doing. For anybody who’s legitimately curious about why Brexiteers so firmly won’t be reasoned with, I’d suggest you take a look at this survey that shows how much less likely remain voters are to understand the motives of leave voters, than leave voters are to understand the motives of remain voters.

What Is Negative SEO
Friends, I'm scripting this during this post because the google ranking of the many people suddenly starts down, thanks to which the traffic of their blog also gets down. They are doing not understand why this is often happening, and people get very upset.

Everyone knows that if we make inferiority or spammy backlinks on our blog, then it's a negative effect on both the traffic and google ranking of our blog. But even today many bloggers don't know anything about negative SEO.

So that's why I'm sharing this post with all of you and that I hope that you simply all will find this post very helpful. So let's start the buddies post.

Before that, I should tell you ways you'll protect your blog or website from negative SEO; first of all, I would like to inform you what's this negative SEO.

Friends, when our competitors make bad or spammy backlinks on top of our blog or website, thanks to which the program ranking and traffic of our blog or website features a terrible effect, it's called negative SEO.
Many times it happens that a lot of bloggers create backlinks to enhance their blog ranking, some are good backlinks, but most are low and spammy backlinks.

If you've got made unnatural links for your blog, then you'll know the rationale for the traffic and ranking down, but once you haven't created any backlinks for your blog.

And in such a situation, there's a decline in both traffic and ranking of the blog, which you are doing not know the thought of why the traffic and Google ranking of my blog is decreasing, then maybe someone or your competitor on your blog are negative seo.

Friends, at today's time everyone has got to achieve success in their business and such a situation, your competitors do negative SEO for your blog, thanks to which you lose tons of traffic and ranking, which might be very bad for your blog's SEO.
