> "In the case of stealing money from bank accounts, a hacker would typically first need a target’s online banking username and password. Perhaps they could obtain this by phishing the target. Then, once logged in, the bank may ask for confirmation of the transfer by sending the account owner a verification code in a text message. With SS7, the hackers can intercept this text and enter it themselves. Exploiting SS7 in this way is a way to circumvent the protections of two-factor authentication, where a system not only requires a password, but something else too, such as an extra code."

While SS7 does seem like a problem, I think the bigger issue is using SMS for 2FA.

Banks with local branch offices are especially well placed to do better. They can offer Yubikey to their customers, and also since they can see customers in person, they have a way to provision new ones if an old one gets lost (customer comes in and shows government ID, etc).

As a former Portlandian I’m pretty stoked to imagine where this could take the city! A low altitude densification would beat what’s been done to the inner East side...

Here’s a fun thought experiment... Imagine if most streets became parks/plazas (aside from a few left for utility reasons) and everyone rode (electric) bikes, or similar relatively light transport options. To me that’s be idyllic. Imagine not being relegated to the sidewalk, not having to worry about being hit by some idiot driving way to fast in a residential area.

Edit: What’s with the downvotes? Geez have some imagination. Bikes don’t need to have right of way everywhere either... I guess vehicle-centrism goes far beyond cars.

Are you suggesting the CIA uses movies as a revenue source to fund other operations?
But it doesn't really have an "inherent" compressing effect, only if you opt to remove those frequencies. It is just that the space allows you to quickly determine which information is important or which you can remove. In other cases it is reversible (aside from numerical rounding errors). A square wave signal is a sum of infinite frequencies, but in imaging, the maximum frequency is limited by the resolution of the image.
Oh yeah, that was a problem I had. My health insurance uses the same email to send marketing spam as they do to send test results, so I couldn't screen them out. Maybe they'll add some IF fields on the subject line in the future.

> Supposedly Concorde used more fuel taxiing from the stand to line up on the runway than a 737 flying London-Paris

This sounded ludicrous to me, so I tried to check it. Still not entirely convinced.

The closest source I could find was a Vice article [1]:

> A Concorde’s taxi to the end of a runway used as much fuel as a 737’s flight from London to Amsterdam.

The article links to a now-defunct 2012 story on "scotsman.com", which I found on the Wayback Machine [2]. This story interviews Jim O'Sullivan, the former general manager and chief engineer of British Airways' supersonic fleet, but does not explicitly attribute this taxi fuel consumption claim to him or anyone else.

A simulation-based fuel calculator I found says that the 737-800 would use 94,000 lb of fuel flying LHR-AMS [3]. The Concorde's fuel capacity was 211,000 lb [4].

Could any aviation nerds weigh in on how plausible it is to claim that the Concorde would somehow burn through HALF of its entire fuel load just by taxiing? Maybe "taxiing" here includes takeoff?

> Indexing, slicing, and broadcasting are three fundamental functions to manipulate
multidimensional arrays.

...

> Indexing and slicing is arguably the most important function in any numerical
library.

These statements are undoubtedly true. The first question any practitioner familiar with other systems will ask is: what does basic arithmetic, array manipulation, and linear algebra look like?

But from what I can tell on a very quick skim, that question isn't really answered until the section starting with these sentences, on page 123. I've noticed this situation every time I look at the Owl docs webpage too, FWIW (have not looked recently though).

I understand the need to be perceived as fully-capable for modern tasks -- and that's fine for a 2-4 page set of teaser examples up front -- but I think this book would become much more approachable if the basic mechanics of doing math were presented first.

I like almost all of this. I have one minor concern, the maximum home size is dropping from 6750 to 2500 square feet. Which is probably fine for a nuclear family, but in my neighborhood, such homes are largely occupied by multigenerational families. In areas closer to colleges and universities, those homes end up being shared by large groups of students. Both of these populations will take a hit under this policy.

In this approach you decide on the abstraction (i.e., the API) by writing example code (i.e., some tests) that uses the API. The tests are how you decide which abstraction seems to make the most sense.

It sounds like you actually implement the abstraction to decide whether it seems like the right one, which is a lot more work.

Can someone explain to me how the quote below doesn't undermine the main argument? If aerosols were so effective at transmission, wouldn't more people cohabiting get infected? By the given analogy - living with a smoker makes it hard to avoid smelling smoke. I would guess droplets as a method would be an easier one to avoid while co-habiting, since they don't linger in the air: you just need to avoid being in the same space at the same time. That wouldn't work with aerosols.

...but that many people who share the same home with an infected person do not get the disease. To understand why, it is useful to use cigarette or vaping smoke (which is also an aerosol) as an analog. Imagine sharing a home with a smoker: if you stood close to the smoker while talking, you would inhale a great deal of smoke."

> What triggers writing a test is what matters. Overzealous testers test for each new public method in a class.

I have seen this before. At one company I forced by a couple of other developers to write tests for accessors(get/set) on model classes. They would reject my PR if I didn't do it. To leadership it looked like I was against automated testing.

To me its more important to write tests for places where your most likely to make mistakes. For example calculations or business logic or how the view renders your model as it changes. Not every single small method.
That hasn't happened on Android though, where it has been possible for years. Almost all apps are distributed through the Play Store. There's a huge amount of inertia in being the "default" store. Users need a really good reason to switch.
> - When people talk about "unit tests", a unit doesn't refer to the common pattern of "a single class". A unit is a piece of the software with a clear boundary. It might be a whole microservice, or a chunk of a monolith that is internally consistent.

I don't understand how this matches to the idea of "don't write one line of code unless it's necessary to make a failing test to pass".

And yet the Zoe (the electric Clio) has gained battery size instead of going lower in price over the years. I wish they'd actually go all in on the ~150km range city focused EVs. Cheaper lower-range cars would fit well a lot of second cars at least in Europe and I suspect in a lot of other places.
I totally get and support that said profits should be seized by the government and distributed to help affected communities.

But doing only this is like beheading hydras: you cut one head off and nine new appear in its place. And with drugs, it's even worse than that - as users who previously were on medical quality clean stuff from legit pharmacies paid for by insurance, they are moving on to street stuff with all the side effects associated (criminal behavior to finance the addiction, contamination due to cutting agents, overdoses due to inconsistent dosing, gang fights, ...).

The opioid crisis must be tackled at the root level, and that is a lack of physical and mental healthcare combined with the lack of a social security network and appropriate governmental aid to regions devastated by 30 years worth of globalization, modernization and rabid capitalism - to continue with the hydra analogy, the US needs to burn off the necks and then kill the body of the beast.

> it could not do so for a revenue-related reason

While this might sound good, this would be impossible to enforce in practice, as everything a company does is revenue-related. Any rules the app store or iOS have are directly related to revenue by definition.

For example, if Apple allowed boundless permissions and tons of buggy apps, their revenue would probably decrease. This issue is harder to regulate than it first seems.
It’s not, because it was debunked ages ago.

Invisible Inc, the sounds are even on point.
> Are they achieving the additional range by using a bigger battery? Removing weight from the rest of the car? Better aerodynamics?

Yes. This is discussed in the article.
I agree that massive batteries have an environmental cost that has nowhere near been researched thoroughly. I too think that they are not advanced enough to be easily be called a "green" option.

That said, Lucid is not improving range through battery pack addition, but rather through increased efficiency which reduces the size of the pack, which is promising.

From their press release: "Lucid’s (efficiency) breakthrough is not merely just a few percent; we are talking about a significant improvement, which I shall cover further on September 9th."
The main issue apart from the "Consulting Industry" is that too many people try to follow a methodology to the letter, but superficially, without trying to understand the point and deeper meaning.

That's why people argue about rule or whether this or that can or cannot be done instead of trying to understand the aim first and then the cost/benefit balance.

Show HN: Curated Resource Guide for the Aspiring Machine Learning Engineer
I live in the area. Proponents have couched this as a 'progressive' vs. 'nimby' effort, which like the rest of life is not true at all. Housing is complex, not good vs. evil, liberal vs. conservative, urgan vs sprawl. If you doubt this, watch how much this comment is downvoted.

One thing we know, based on over a century of data around the world: increasing density of housing has little effect on affordability, in the long run. More often than not, it has the opposite effect. More simply, we do it backwards: we claim--based on in-migration 'projections' that are nearly always overestimates--that there's a shortage and we must build our way out of it. Example: 20 years ago, Portland estimated a million new residents by 2025. Growth in that period: 105,000, in large part due to annexation.

This leaves out the realities of how things get built. Private developers do the work, for profit, most often for investment groups. If it doesn't 'pencil out', nobody will build it. And this is why 'affordable housing' demands, codes, agreements all get bargained down in the end. They have for decades in Portland, despite repeated promises of 'this time, we really mean it'. Developers hold the cards. I could list dozens of projects of thousands of units.

'But government can build/partner!', you say? No, that rarely works either, especially in Portland. 'But this is law and it must be adhered to!', you say? No, that's not true. When it comes to building, everything gets negotiated, and there's nothing that gets bargained harder on than public entities trying to set housing prices.

Let’s not jump the gun though. We still don’t know enough about Tesla’s 2021 and later batteries. Your suggested headline is built around a comparison to missing information.

Also Tesla’s best battery will be 200kw, not 113kw... I guess they missed that. And Cybrtrk may be higher than that.

But yes reducing size and weight and improving efficiency are all great things! Kudos to them if they can get it into a shipping car at volume.
The number of kWh of a pack is kind of a meaningless number for comparisons. A larger pack may actually be worse as it adds weight.

They key numbers I want to see are volumetric density (wh/l), gravimetric density (wh/kg), and cost ($/kwh) at the pack level and the cell level. Other key numbers are operating temperature ranges, max charge rate, maximum charging curves, idle energy loss or leakage, and overall efficiency of the vehicle (wh/mi) in many specific testing regimens (different speeds/air resistance, temperatures, and weather conditions.

1. It's easier if you have worked in the domain. If not make a list of top 50 companies who might need your product. Use linkedin to find the CXOs of those companies who have the power to say yes or no. Approach them thru mutual contacts or directly.

2. You have to explain the benefits of your product. Benefits should be much greater than the cost. Good thing with SAAS is that commitment needn't be long . One popular theme is "your software increases efficiency" of employees .

Good luck.

The problem with this is that it would be putting an obligation on Apple to design and implement APIs it doesn't want to create or support, and implement features it disagrees with. Who gets to decide what APIs and features comply with any such imposed obligation? Who reviews it and certifies compliance? Who decides on how many resources get allocated to it? As technology advances and iOS changes, how will the specification be evolved?

One option for them would be to shut down general access to the App Store and only enter into bespoke agreements with individual developers. Make it much more like a console system or feature phone with vendor-provided or bespoke licensed add-on features. I think this is a more likely outcome from trying to ram open access down their throats because it's an 'open platform'. Just close it. That's what Steve Jobs wanted to do in the first place. They'd lose some customers but maybe good enough for 90% of current iPhone users is good enough for Apple, rather than losing control of the design and feature set of their own product.
