I use a Nook, and I can get ebooks on it from my local library, which is mostly via OverDrive. You do need to use Adobe Digital Editions to get the loaned books.

One nice thing about the Nook is that the private key for encryption is stored in an easily-accessible hidden file, which makes de-DRM'ing your books ridiculously easy if you need to do that.

Melancholy of obsolete futures: on Soviet Brutalism
Authors propose to mess with circuit board runs by adding components and modifying connections. There is no security on the design files, so they are trivially modified, though it is annoying to do so if you don't have the original design files. The outputs - Gerbers or ODB++ databases - can be imported into a design tool and modified.

They also propose to detect such changes by looking for missing refdes. That's farcical. Duplicate refdes are much harder to identify, or a new one could be added. But the true way to hide a "hack" in a PCB is to replace an IC with a counterfeit part.

A combination of a modern APT - even some of the things published around the same time as Stuxnet - could be used to activate a hidden feature in a counterfeit IC, and would be undetectable by almost any method short of high-resolution xray comparison to a golden board.

Fun stuff to think about though.

> Assuming the last digit is a checksum and the first six are taken by the routing information, that leaves them 9 digits or a billion possible numbers per credit card issuer. Japan has a population of about 125 million. Are Japanese people cycling their numbers so frequently? Or are they big on ephemeral card numbers?

Credit cards - and payment methods generally - are in their Cambrian explosion phase right now in Japan, particularly given the pandemic. Every company, big or small, is pushing their own. I recently had to open a new credit card because the gym I wanted to join only accepts payment via their partnered credit cards. It came with a linked electronic money card (as well as having native integration for a different electronic money format) that has what looks like its own 16 digit credit card number, presumably for internal payment infrastructure reasons, and an offer to apply for a separate linked credit card for shopping in China, three other kinds of linked electronic money cards (one for a supermarket chain, one for a local transport network)...

Every shopping mall is pushing their card. My phone provider offered two olympic tie-in cards and a regular version (that would actually save me money if I could face going through the application). A theatre troupe I follow has a deep partnership with a card issuer and has their own branded cards. Bands have their own cards. Virtually any outfit with a loyalty/membership card is trying to turn it into a credit card. And so people can easily have multiple cards that they never use, because their loyalty card became a credit card but they're still only using it as a loyalty card.
I wonder if there's a business in building apps specifically for individual restaurants (chains or even local ones, using cookie-cutter apps) that integrates card processing and such; white label doordash. The business would pay a flat monthly fee for the service and would have to have their own delivery people. Apple Pay et c make the payment side of things painless and prevents people having to re-enter details in each app.

Why isn't this a thing? Is it that few/no restaurants have delivery drivers?

This is an easy thing to say as a customer or a customer success oriented person.

I am leaving a support role just now. I am actually taking a pay cut to do so. Almost all of my customers speak to me in a rude tone.

I have no incentive to pretend to have an interest in their issues. I don’t think the issue is with customer support, but general attitudes among IT professionals.

On top of this, customer success is treated as a second class to engineering even if our problems are harder and more stressful. Imagine finding a bug and being blamed for the bug not being fixed while at the same time engineering is mad at you for wanting it fixed. Gross.

Anyway- support; never again.

Depends upon how it is implemented as could go full on 1984 very fast without that ever being intended.

The whole aspect of a static fixed CC number you share with people is what really needs to change. A One Time CC per transaction would be more useful and negates many potential issues in a way that protects the customer and in turn the bank itself.

Regarding deforestation, prebrov, that didn't happen in the way that, for example, the Amazon was deforested in 20th century South America by clear felling old growth forests to produce coffee and soy mono-cultures.

Australian aborigines used fire to cultivate the land in mosaic patterns of cleared grasslands forested conserves. The result was an altered landscape which retained natural ecosystems whilst supporting human and animal populations sustainably.

"we have an economic phenomenon sometimes called the lemons problem. Suppose you want to sell a used car, and I’m looking for a car to buy. From my perspective, I have to worry that your car might be a “lemon”—that it has a serious mechanical problem that doesn’t appear every time you start the car, and is difficult or impossible to fix. Now, you know that your car isn’t a lemon. But if I ask you, “Hey, is this car a lemon?” and you answer “No,” I can’t trust your answer, because you’re incentivized to answer “No” either way. Hearing you say “No” isn’t much Bayesian evidence. Asymmetric information conditions can persist even in cases where, like an honest seller meeting an honest buyer, both parties have strong incentives for accurate information to be conveyed."

I've ridden trains in all the Western European countries listed, and taken a lot of the listed routes at least partially. If you actually want to do this, you can make that confusing list much simpler: Lisbon-Hendaye with an overnight sleeper, then TGV Hendaye-Paris (a beautiful route), then the sleeper train Paris-Moscow, then Moscow-Beijing sleeper, Beijing-Hanoi sleeper, Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh.

Also, you definitely don't want to get a Eurail pass for this trip. In general a Eurail pass isn't a good deal at all, with a few narrow exceptions. The specific country level passes, as well as buying discounted tickets, will nearly always be cheaper. This case is even worse, because even with an unlimited Eurail pass, you pay additional fees for almost every train on that list - Thalys, high speed, sleeper...

I think it was an F1 article when I was reading about it, apparently carbon fiber creates a lot of small particles that when inhaled get lodged in your lungs akin to crushed asbestos .

I wonder if this is something to worry about.

In F1 the body of a bolid would literally disintegrate on impact (thus absorbing a lot of energy) so that is a lot of shattered carbon fiber in comparison to a part of a hockey stick.

They solved (or at least it seems like they might) one of the bigger blockers of building fintech solutions: a level playing ground.

For decades we have been performing a semi-eradication effort for mosquitoes for decades, and we have not noticed a substantial change that can be considered a result of that.

I understand hesitation to muck with nature, but I think it's sort of a privileged position to have when you live in an area where malaria and West Nile are not a serious risk. Malaria kills a lot of Africans every year (400,000+ [0]), and I'm not sure how much hesitation I'd have towards eradication if anyone in my family died from it.

The early Kindles didn't do this. It used to annoy me to no end that I'd have to manually tell my Kindle to sync when I was done reading.

Originally, I didn't realize this. I learned this when I'd pull out my phone in a waiting room, or on a train, only to not be anywhere near where I last read the book on my physical Kindle.

Now, I'm quite happy that Kindle syncs aggressively. I use an old phone to read in my hot tub, and it's great that the book opens up to the last place I read it, no matter which phone I'm using.

Worked at Zappos for a couple years. Worked closely with the incoming CEO Kedar. I might even say, I had a small role in his early rise.

I don’t have a lot to share, and out of respect for folks privacy. I won’t share much. I will say this. Their customer service isn’t a lie and it’s good inside and out. But much of their culture is PR. Internally it’s far more toxic than you see on the exterior. It is cult like.

I think Kedar is a solid person, and while him and I have our differences. I think he’ll make a great CEO and has the qualities needed. While his approach may be different than Tony’s approach. I don’t think it will be lesser, if that makes sense.

In an ideal world that would be the way to go, but I'm not so sure in this one.
Those people are masters at fooling voters using the same old tricks: "collecting data helps fighting terrorists", "only those who haven't anything to hide ...", "anonimity helps pedophiles, please think of the children!" etc. So to me that battle is a lost one.
Until the day they actually outlaw and prosecute the use or even mere possession of countermeasures (encrypted disks, communication protocols and connections, etc.) I think we're to the point it's time to first implement them and then maybe attempting to solve the social problem the usual ways. Hopefully someone will prove me wrong.
