110 ms is not faster than human perception. It's over a tenth of a second, and is very noticeable. The flicker fusion threshold for human vision lies in the 60Hz-90Hz range, corresponding to between 11 and 17ms. If I recall correctly, EEG experiments show differences up to around 100-120Hz, so on the order of 8ms. In any case, network latency itself adds on the order of 10ms per 1,000km of distance; 35ms or so for a London to New York round-trip, so the point about framework speed being a bit of a moot point other than in exceptionally high traffic scenarios still stands.
It is also that as soon as you have a rigid robot with that force, speed, and without a steel fence as separation near a human, you have a safety problem.

If a human family member holds something like a baseball bat, or a butcher's knife within arms length of you, you can feel safe around them, and be sure they control their motions.

Contrarily, having an industrial robot with something like a screwdriver at the height of your head and within a meter of distance is just scary.

Yes, it's just luck, unless your lifestyle choice was to pitch a tent away from civilization. You're lucky the city didn't permit a 5 years construction project next to your house. You're lucky your neighbors aren't assholes. You're lucky people aren't throwing a 2am BBQ in the street. You're lucky noise ordinance is being enforced. You're lucky you don't get ear infection from earplugs. You're lucky the person who built your apartment didn't cut corners and sealed the windows and joists correctly. You're lucky you're not a light sleeper. You're lucky you don't have sleep disorders. You're lucky your circadian rhythm matches what society expects.

I don't know you, where you live, what you do for work. I don't know which ones of these apply to you. Maybe none d, but then something else does. Yes, you're lucky.

I had to move 3 times in 2 years because I wasn't so lucky, and I'm still not lucky so I'm throwing enormous amounts of money at the problem (money most people wouldn't have, because they're not as lucky as I am). And no amount of money will fix my biology.
Given that the whole framework is in roughly 31kloc of C++ written mostly by you and this not your first framework. Can you talk more about your design choices, what the architectural patterns are and how metaprogramming plays a role [1] ?

For the interested, no-nonsense types coming by this thread, I want to point to Harley D. Rutledge's[0] "Project Identification: The first Scientific Study of UFO Phenomena"[1][2].

He was a Ph.D. in solid state physics at the University of Missouri (at the same time as this Loring AFB story, it seems). Hearing about the nonsense of a UFO fad, he decided he'd go into the field and explain this phenomenon. He couldn't, but got a grant from a newspaper so he could spend time on this and the result was a book (Project Identification) which is pretty much a very long physics report.

He never concluded they were "spacemen" or some such, he simply observed and reported, and only used his own observations. Despite being dry, it is a very interesting read - a downright page-turner for me.

I'm sure they are, but are they more useful than what was before? Facebook & Co have some random element, it's not a one-way-communication device like classic media (TV, radio, newspapers) are/were.

The government has much less control over Facebook. You can't just go in and take it over like you could with a radio station, you can either use it and accept that others can as well, or you can block it in your country, but then you can't use it either.

And that is perhaps the greatest advantage of all that Tesla has over many other companies, especially in the car industry, but generally (excluding only Amazon and parts of Apple/Google): Tesla is not run by beancounters with a next-quarterly only mindset, but by someone with a long-term vision and a general engineering focus with deep pockets.

Not many companies these days go for extensive, ground-breaking, costly R&D that Tesla does, and those that do rarely go to the length of Tesla/SpaceX. For most companies that level of investment would flatten their stock value, shareholders would be angry... but Elon Musk (and similarly Jeff Bezos) are impressive personalities that manage to keep the beancounter hawks at bay.

There's a huge difference in having a surface that's white reflecting your room color versus having a display blasting light directly into your eyes.

Computer screens and paper are not comparable, they're physically different and they're not really even used in the same fashion. Yes, you can read off of both but you get the point.

You sound like a person who uses a terminal with a black bg and neon green text and claim that as superior. Maybe to you but surely not for the majority. Most likely that's not even optimal for you but you've just convinced yourself of that.

I get the frustration you seem to carry towards designers, but if you're blaming _all_ designers because some might utilize anti-patterns or you just have personal preferences that differ, you're kinda missing the woods for the trees.

You do realize that the chair you're sitting on, device you're writing on and building you're (likely) in are all designed by designers.

I literally choose my apps on my OLED phone for which ones give me 000 and FFFFFF color schemes. Like this one (Materialistic on Android).

I recently bought a cheap, small LG OLED TV and do not know if I can stand my old 85" top of the line Sony LCD anymore.

I have a 4 year old Alienware OLED laptop, and any future laptop is going to be OLED too.

I personally cannot get enough contrast or a dark enough black for TV or computer or mobile use.

Maybe before presbyopia set in, I would have been more lenient.

Wow this resonates with me so much. I deal with the _exact_ same problem in my relationship. I've also come to the same conclusion that I simply cannot discuss the counterexamples in the moment of ideation, because it always discourages my SO. It's challenging because it's this exact quality that I feel makes me a strong programmer, and it's extremely difficult to "turn it off" when other people's feelings are involved.

I do think many people attach emotional value to their ideas, and any perceived imperfections invalidate the idea as a whole. I don't have any evidence of this that might generalize, but personally I feel like I (and potentially many programmers) never attach _any_ emotional value to my ideas, because if I did then every single bug I face in my code would be a defeat rather than an opportunity to learn and grow.

Under $2K seems very cheap for what what discovered. Did it take less than two days to do this exploit?

Perhaps the model should be an immediate price like the one that was offered, but also the ability to ask for more, confidentially. For instance you might feel this thing is worth more like $10k, and you could show the screengrab. Then the firm can decide whether to just pay up or haggle. And of course you still have Hacker One to arbitrate that the vuln is actually what was touted.

Nothing's perfect, of course there are holes in this idea as well.
Shudder. That's horrifying enough to make me want to wall off that whole thing in a VPN which in and of itself has a stronger password, and expose access to it from a proxy.
This makes sense from an investor’s perspective. My objection to IPOs is not so much financial, but more about what it does to a company’s internal culture. Having been at a company that went through an IPO, I saw how that culture shifted - almost overnight. You had employees that once cared about doing their best at their jobs to ones that focused only on how their contributions would affect the public stock performance (which can overlap, but often doesn’t). Every time the stock price took a (short-term) hit, employee morale suffered. It was as if a large LED stock ticker were installed on every desk, constantly reminding employees that this is the new key indicator that matters above all. It was obvious even among upper management; discussion went from big picture, somewhat ambitious ideas to short-term thinking, centered on how to show good numbers in the next quarter with obvious, incremental adjustments (like pushing more ads rather than developing more interesting products and features).

The funny thing is, the company didn’t actually need the funds raised in the IPO. They had an almost endless supply of interested private investors pouring in money regularly, and the company’s CEO (in private) admitted that they never wanted to do an IPO. It was only necessary in order to appease the expectations of early employees who had been promised a big payday for the shares they were offered instead of competitive salaries. I understand why that was done in the company’s early days, but there ought to be a better way to reward/incentivize early employees that doesn’t rely on the fickle and myopic nature of publicly-traded stock.
Developer velocity matters way more than the framework as long as the framework allows for horizontal scaling. You don't have to use it, but it should be there and it should be easy to use. Depending on your goals, one should be writing a system that horizontally scales after the first major prototype. Then push the horizontal scaling tests into your CI/CD pipeline and dev locally as if your cluster scaled down to one node.

I'm not thinking of something as dumb as an industrial robot. You would want a safety mechanism that detects nearby humans (say in the same room) and switches to low power mode if any are present. That way you can get work done at a reasonable speed when the robot is alone with very little risk of hurting anyone. Yes, there are some safety issues to take into account with a household robot but they pale in comparison to those of a self-driving car whose whole reason for existence is to pilot a > 1 ton metal object at high speeds.

Escrow is an option. They require wires.

This shouldn't be that difficult from legal perspective. Since you don't have the authority to kill someone, you can't choose who to kill.

This has been the dream since consumer VR took off 5 years ago. It never materialized because it turns out people just don't care that much. The tech is impressive, but it simply isn't good enough to be compelling beyond the first 10 minutes of wow factor for most people. VR will remain a niche within a niche until the hardware is truly ready for the mainstream, which will require feather light fully wireless headsets with 100% FOV, depth perception, and perfect controller-free hand/pose tracking.

Not sure why you think this is a new problem. If you read more of Seneca, Buddhism, or Jesus' thought, you'll see this is part of the reason they talk about awareness, giving up your possessions, not running around doing useless tasks.

So far as synthetic chemistry goes, methane is different from all the other hydrocarbons.

The Fischer-Tropsch process can build up hydrocarbon chains from H and CO -- if you keep the temperature below 300C. Otherwise you break the molecules down to methane. That is what they do in a factory in ND that turns deadly poisonous syngas into methane, but the demand for motor fuels is insatiable in a way that the demand for methane isn't.

FT is one of those epic failed technologies up there with SST and LMFBR and magic leap. The reaction is exothermic so you have to work hard to get the heat out so it doesn't methanize. Since you can't get it that hot the reaction is slow; its the one chemical reaction where people complain it uses an iron catalyst.

Yet that is something people want -- they don't want methane because the ancient earth was hot and already mechanized most of its hydrocarbons.
I think range anxiety is more of a psychological/imaginary disorder than a technical challenge. I come from the Netherlands. Most EVs there have a range that would put you way past its borders no matter where you are in the country. Even the cheap & shitty ones. This is of course not something most people do very often in any case. So, you'd expect range anxiety to be less of a concern in the Netherlands.

It's not. People are somehow really dreading having to (predictably) stop for a 45 minute charging stop in the rare case they actually do have their trip exceed the maximum range (again, unlikely if you leave on a full charge and don't plan to leave the country).

It will tell you when you step into the car what your range is and you can plan right then and there where to stop for lunch/coffee. Most EV drivers do exactly that. Problem solved.

ICE car drivers don't do that and typically just have unreliable data instead. You might have 70 km of range or 20. Hard to tell when the needle is close to 0. You might be going up hill or downhill and that might affect what the needle says. It doesn't even indicate range, just fuel volume.

So, premature/redundant fuel stops are probably more common than running out of fuel, or indeed battery. By the time you run out of battery, your car will have been drawing your attention to that for quite some time. So, you'd be right to feel anxious about that happening to you because you'd end up looking like the fool you are.

Most drivers take the annoying planned charging stop over that some tens of miles before they'd run out. It's more a case of range annoyance than anxiety. In the end everything has a price and if you can afford to fill up your gas guzzling SUV to burn way more fuel than you'd strictly need to get from A to B, that probably has more to do with other forms of anxiety than with the actual range of the car.
I found a XSS bug in a popular note taking app. It would allow an attacker to download all the users notes just by having them visit a URL.

It was marked as "medium", I got $250 for it.
This makes me wonder if a school district can choose to swap its hours during DST accordingly and back without DST and letting parents not miss out on sleep. Of course if their jobs are still on DST then you will have those problems but if parents say their schools opening up slightly different it might force employers hands especially when chances are your bossman also has kids.

I had a very similar experience with Slack. We were working with their support team because we didn’t realize a vulnerability was present at first. We thought maybe we had misconfigured something. Basically, we could log in to Slack Desktop with user a, but sometimes the screen would blink, then you would have full access to user b’s chats, you were messaging as them, etc. The Slack team told us to clear our browser cache. We tried that and told them the issue didn’t seem to be tied to a browser. Slack just kept telling us to clear cache, but we were growing more alarmed by the app behavior as a standard user suddenly got access to an administrator account and was able to perform all functions. Finally, we started digging into it ourselves until we could reproduce the issue. Slack didn’t get serious with us until we sent them a recording of us doing it, then their responses got strange. All of our emails back to the technicians were getting intercepted by someone higher up in the company, and we were getting a lot of non-answers. We were told a fix was put in place, but they wouldn’t know what happened until they added additional logging in two months time.

I don’t know where I’m going with this, but the correspondence with Slack just felt off to me. I was also disappointed that we were shouting from the rooftops a serious vulnerability, and we kept getting responses like “clear cache, try reinstalling the app.”
Most title companies send those warnings via email. "Don't trust email from anyone but me." It's insane.

Tesla had $100M+ of scrap inventory they pretended was still good and then somehow created a subsidiary out of thin air and "sold" the scrap to it?

Love this passage. Don't have kids, but I can totally see this happening to parents I know.
I think a parallel can be drawn to the loudness wars in music.

The user can easily change brightness of their screen just as the user can easily change volume of their music. But producers want their creation to stand out. Make their music a little bit louder, or their website a little bit softer than the rest.

In both cases the outcome is a race to the bottom and reduced dynamic range.

And finally, in both cases it's fairly inconsequential. Things get worse but only a little bit.
