Hm, this makes me wonder, are there any hand-assembled TTL computers that can send UDP packets on the internet? ChaCha20 is easy enough to implement and simple enough that you could probably do encrypted chat between two almost-definitely-not-backdoored computers if so.

EDIT: though, I supposed you don't need your NIC to be trusted any more than your ISP's router, so an esp8266 might be sufficient.
I have always wondered why this was, compared to DOS!

I think the main difference is that airnow mainly relies on expensive sensors with government-approved calibration. There are only a few such sensors per county.

Airnow's map shows both the government sensors and the Purple Air sensors, but that seems to be a recent "pilot project". I doubt they use the low-cost sensor data anywhere else.
I'm thinking more like WebUSB, where there's a prompt before access to devices is given.

It is not a numbers game of that sort. If anything, public misinformation being amplified in influence through social media affects expert based political will negatively insofar the topic is ripe for emotional biases, not lack of real experts.

That's probably precisely an area you would NOT want to work with GPT-3. As Julian Togelius put it:

> GPT-3 often performs like a clever student who hasn't done their reading trying to bullshit their way through an exam. Some well-known facts, some half-truths, and some straight lies, strung together in what first looks like a smooth narrative.

Similar situation. I'm in the top 2% mainly because of a handful of question I asked 10+ years ago that keep bringing in points every single day.

One time I posted a fairly basic question and someone commented "why are you posting stupid questions if you have so many points?"

A coworker once saw the SO homepage on my machine with all my points and said "wow, what kind of answers are you posting?". I'm so embarrassed that I make a point of not being signed in at work.

If questions and answers carry the same weight in points assigned to profile (not sure they do?), that doesn't make much sense.

This is possible if you use "xargs" (which runs a command multiple times with different subsets of the arguments), although it is most useful if commands are aware of null-separation (e.g. old-style "find ... -print0 | xargs -0", before "find" added the "+" option).

Ballot measures are one way you take this on. You make it explicitly illegal for companies to have over data on users from your state unless a warrant is produced. This won't stop entities from tapping fiber or attacking companies and stealing data, but it does stop companies from just handing stuff over voluntarily.

There is an argument like: the moral quality of institutions/companies is determined by the people inside it, so if all of the conscientious people vacate the institution/company then they are effectively ceding their places to the unconscientious people. If said institution/company is powerful, it's not clear that this is going to make things better.

A counter-argument for this is that working at such places makes one complicit, and most generic software engineers, regardless of their technical acumen, have close to 0 potential to affect the moral compass of the institution/company at all. Such people may be viewed as keeping an immoral institution/company afloat.

But if there is a charismatic, driven, conscientious person who does have the potential to accumulate enough power at Facebook to shift its moral compass . . . it might be nice if they actually worked there.

This has nothing to do with the OP, but I always rehearse my deletions with "ls -d", and after seeing the output hit the up arrow in my command history and replace it with the rm command I wanted to attempt. I also never use -r without intention - a lot of people use it habitually even when not deleting a directory. Lastly, I never -f, I just chmod first.
Full disk encryption isn't suspicious. It's standard on many corporate devices, and corporate travelers cross the border with them constantly.

However, the encryption would not protect you against this problem. They may ask for the password to decrypt the volume and deny you entry to the country if you refuse to provide it.
I also enjoy buying used books where one can tell that the previous owner treasured the book over the years and made notes or highlights. However, the demise of the sewn binding – publishers have shifted to shoddy glued bindings even for prestige titles like the collected works of many poets – means that there will probably be less well-used and loved books around, since the binding is likely to give out already within the time that the first owner has the book.

It really is an extraordinary record, especially for someone with no academic background in EE. She literally just sort-of picked up digital logic design intuitively, more or less all at once. And then wrote a BASIC and helped design a game-changing super-efficient processor (etc), because why not?

I'm also considering making a green roof. Apparently, since the plants (sedum/stonecrops and mosses) help cool the roof, the solar panels on top of it are a bit cooler too increasing their efficiency.

It also helps retain some water so it does not go to the sewer directly after it rains of the roof and keeps the sewer from getting overloaded.

Another claimed benefit it is that a green roof helps reduce fine particulates in the air.
And biodiversity etc etc.

Its kinda expensive to do right though, so maybe some time.
It may be too late. The high-risk areas are very close to homes (as is evidenced by the destruction of property). A controlled burn near homes will produce high volumes of smoke even if they are controlled. If they are not adequately controlled, you can lose a town.

Depopulating these areas won't need to happen by edict, insurances premiums will do that. If these trends continue, there will be no one living in the quaint gentleman-farmer communities in wine country within twenty years.

I predict the sierras will be the next danger zone - as more people move to the Tahoe area, all of the mistakes of sprawl will be repeated.

The trend in recent years has been more luxurious interiors at a lower cost.

Prior to COVID, I was using a car pool app to get to work. I’ve rode in Audi A4s and A5s, BMW 3 series, Accords, Civics, and even a Model 3.

A buddy of mine picked up a new Mazda3. The interior felt pretty much equivalent to a BMW 3 series or A5. I don’t know much about car performance and so presumably the major difference is just the brand name and engine power.

Personally I don’t own a car and view cars as a utility to get from point A to point B. I can see spending a bit more on a car if you commute or drive a lot.

The vehicle industry blows my mind — not only the buying process itself but also the pricing model. It’s crazy how Americans are willing to drop $30-40K (that’s average?) for a vehicle. But I digress.
More like investing every day, no?
Naw bro, we should just give up on the whole thing and go back to beautiful clean coal! lol jk.
IMHO code guidelines are there to avoid wasting time on trivialities. Why would something which is already settled by the guidelines even crop up code reviews, except for the first few commits from a junior developer?

Lots of style choices are more or less arbitrary. PascalCase or camelCase? Big endiand or little endian? Comments and identifiers in english or french? You cant just "demand competence" because neither is clearly superior. But consistency is clearly superior to everyone doing it their own way. So you make a decision, write it down in a guide, and the question will not take up any more time and attention.

But yeah, a guideline which legislates obsolete code constructs is obviously bad. Clearly something is deeply wrong in the culture of the team if the guideline is 20 years out of data and no one care about updating it - while at the same wastes a lot of resources on pointing out the issues in code reviews! But that problem is not with guidelines per se. Using an obsolete compiler will probably also give you problems.

Yes, and it reminds me of another effect: I don't have the reference at hand, but I read about a study showing that to "feel full" you need a lower intake of strong taste food versus bland food. Then the Roquefort definitely beats the rather bland pizza cheese, no contest ;). The "smelly French cheese" is a well known joke, but it may actually help getting full and stopping eating with a lower calories intake than blander food.
Renewables definitely have those downsides. Especially if you look at the recycling procedures of solar panels and led batteries.

What a shockingly detail-free "article".

I tend to agree that Citigroup has the better argument, but this is weirdly lopsided coverage. Revlon's bank repaid Revlon's loan using money Revlon didn't have. Oops! But that's not clearly a reason for the lender to return the repaid loan.

What happens if I pay one of my bills and realize later that it would be more convenient for me to have paid less so I'd have more money for whatever else? How do I claw back the amount I now wish I hadn't paid?
I would say first of all that it has to be self-hostable. Not necessarily free, but should be licensable for on-site use with no dependency on an external service.

> You're arguing a car isn't a class line in the United States, and you've completely forgotten the ~8 of adult Americans who don't have a car at all for transportation. Maybe it's a class thing.

Or maybe it isn't. No, I haven't "forgotten" them. When some 90% of American households have access to a car, that's a pretty darn clear signal cars aren't a class luxury. It just means those in the lowest economic classes can't afford them, just like they have trouble affording so many other things.

You do realize for comparison some 36 million people are on food stamps? Meaning they need assistance to even put food on the table? That doesn't make food a "class thing" in any meaningful way. And neither is a car. Especially not an "upper middle-class luxury".

AirNow's data _can_ be less accurate. For example, punching in a Lamorinda ZIP code only returns results for Oakland ("Oakland reporting area"), even if the ZIP correctly shows the right locale.

Yep. My little town still has a bookstore downtown that’s been there for years. Run by a retired English teacher who seems to know everything about every book in the store.

There is the likelihood that most encryption applications would put a header of some kind on the encrypted blob.

For example, PGP, PKZip, OpenSSL, and age all do this with encrypted files. I'm not sure I can think of a user-oriented encryption application that doesn't. Disk encryption also definitely does (although in TrueCrypt volumes the header is encrypted and not recognizable as such, so TrueCrypt is an exception, probably deliberately).

Crypto primitives in programming languages don't, and NaCl crypto secretboxes don't (they just start with the nonce!), so I guess if you were calling the NaCl secretbox encryptor by hand to encrypt your files, they wouldn't have any header.
