Someone registered for Facebook with myname@gmail.com. I'd registered with my.name@gmail.com and when I got the email that I'd added the account I clicked yes before reading (that's a mistake you make at most once) and now that guy has a Facebook account I can't log in to and I can't remove this email from the account and I can't remove the notifications either.

Part of the reason is that Facebook verifies you're the owner of the email if you say "someone else has my email" by sending you an email which you have to reply to. But Google will reply to all of them with the canonical sign-up so mine has my.name@gmail.com that the reply goes out with, which doesn't match so I'm stuck marking all Facebook notifications as spam.
The company cares about security, the mindless manager wants to use whatever they like the most.
Well, since you have the email, you can log in to the Lexus app. Then you could turn off the notifications.
"Cares about security" can easily be just mindless procedure following.
Hey.com also bugs you every frikin time about this. I don't want or need 2FA, I use a nasty password with my password manager. I wished they didn't force us to use this if we don't want to.

> If every eligible voter in the US got out and was able to vote, we'd have a much different government right now.

That's a dicey assertion to make, because we don't know how those who stayed home would have leaned. All of the conventional widsom in 2016 pointed to someone else in the White House, and yet here we are. It's just impossible to gauge how those who stay silent truly think.
Reactive notebooks are closer to the idea you mention than other kinds of notebooks, because global state is reflected in the outputs of each cell. The biggest source of bugs when working in Jupyter for instance is that a variable was re-defined somewhere and it's not easy to see that it is changed when you have a cell somewhere above that has the output `foo = x` when the global state claims that foo = y.
We're not talking about companies. We're talking about schools. Totally different thought process.
Same here. The "no dot goes to trash" rule catches an awful lot of spam.

Every US state consists of one or more zones that use specific map projections for best representation. The choice goes significantly further than just the choice of projection family.

You can find resources for the State Plane Coordinate System online.[1]

For example, the transverse Mercator projection intuitively maps from a sphere onto a cylinder oriented east-west (rather than pole to pole). But since we can vary the relative position of the sphere (such as which longitude is closest to the line perpendicular to the surface of the cylinder), we actually define a family of projections.

Another variable is the model of the Earth's surface used for the mapping. For example, the web Mercator projection maps from an ideal sphere, but that is not sufficient for many more precise applications. See geoid[2] and datum.[3]

Geodesy and geomatics are pretty huge areas of applied science that go far beyond the scope of a blog post.

I've seen a number of places (including the Scrypt repo) compare bcrypt brute-force benchmarks without specifying the bcrypt work factor.

It's specified implicitly in the scrypt README file: "if 5 seconds are spent computing a derived key". It's explicit in the conference paper (cost = 16).

That made me think about this article about the lack of "the future" and "hope" in millennials: http://shoebat.com/2020/04/14/the-millennials-and-zoomers-ha...

I'm intensely curious about what comes next in literature/music/movies but have very little insight into what it could be. I think focusing on marginalized experience could recontextualize the stories that came before (colonial narratives taking on a self-aware perspective when seen by different eyes), but then I wonder if that isn't just a re-packaging or a co-op or pandering. Time will hopefully tell.

I'm tempted to think that the larger system has to break down more to find those stories but I don't know what "break down" means -- and who's to say those media aren't there already? I maybe just can't see them or I'm rejecting them i.e. "the noise those kids listen to these days".
Possibly, but I pipe my email through Gmail so I haven't noticed.
Anyone remember FUD?
This is a FUD-piece á la MSFT-style.
Wouldnt this be the same as banning web browsers because you can goto hate sites? Ban irc clients because you can connect to evil irc servers? Ban email clients because you can email to hate domains? Its up to the user to configure and connect to a server in a open client.
Password reset?
I can't see that being the case (except exceedingly rarely) but perhaps if they had "santosh83@live.com" on an MS device and then got a device with Google mail they think their address is now "santosh83@gmail.com"? Or they're just nuts ...
And it's not just a game of chasing YouTube. Many people aren't aware of this, but youtube-dl downloads from a rather large collection of video-hosting sites [1]

Some of those sites are stable, and have no problem with programs like youtube-dl, but some are constantly moving targets, and probably going out of their way to try and block youtube-dl. The thought of maintaining it, while facing a constant stream of "my favorite site broke, you MUST fix it now!" stresses me out, much less dealing with it.

Yeah. To be honest I'm not part of the design cult that runs the world, but something like this just makes you stop and go "what? WHY?!"
How can we say the long term effects of sars/mers appear to be similar to covid when we have zero data on long term effects of covid?

I'm no expert. But I am reticent to think that sars/mers and covid are going to have similar long term effects. Mostly due to the strange additional symptoms with covid that don't appear to happen with Sars/mers. Loss of taste and smell is one of them. Infected and inflamed extremeties is another. It seems as though covid is more adept at infecting other types of human tissue rather than just respiratory. Which on a micro level might be a rather small difference but could have very serious long term differences in outcomes.
Guilty as charged...
I haven't used Mastodon much, but in my experience, the Fediverse is mostly being created by people who are politically left (socialists, anti-capitalists in general), so the content I've seen leans that way and they mostly take a hard stance on hate speech. Check out dev.lemmy.ml (federated reddit) for an example of what I mean.

However, anyone can create an instance in the Fediverse, like when Gab created their own Mastodon instance. Basically every other instance chose not to federate with them, though.

That's what is nice about the Fediverse, you can pick what community with what rules is best for you.
but does gab use "algorithms and ML" to determine what gets shown? Doesn't it use a upvote/downvote model like hn or reddit? Is a site that uses a "order by upvotes" ranking system closer to the first print shop or the second? What about bulletin boards that ranks by last post?
If you think big tech is at all restrictive, you've never been to the REAL internet, where draconian forum admins endlessly ban people for having the wrong profile picture. Google is a benevolent overlord compared to those who ACTUALLY wield mod powers
Constitutions are squishy things, ultimately. They evolve over the years.

I take your point about legality. But, I'd make the point that we don't have a clear moral or legal concept of free speech that relates to the current world.

"We can argue about whether or not Google should ban certain opinions on their platform, or where the line should be drawn, but it is arguable that hey have the legal right to do so."

At some point, the distinction between legal and moral breaks down.

In theory, google could legally do quite a lot. Say google decides to censor all mentions of the tiananmen square rising. They could remove it from search, youtube, android phones, chrome. Gmail could spam filter emails mentioning it. They could exert influence outside of companies/services that they own directly. None of that is illegal (at least not unconstitutional). In practice, this is very close to what China does with the great firewall.

It also wouldn't stand. Something like this would be too contradictory to the moral concept of free speech.

Constitutions are interpreted, and the supreme court is not the only interpreter. It's a cultural construct as well as a legal one.

We are effectively at this point now. Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc... These aren't platforms in the way newspapers were. They're not platforms at all. They're the level ground, in terms of speech, press, the right to petition the government or practice religion. The reasons that amendment was written runs through google.
For me, the worst of all is that you can minimize an app and it's still on focus. That gets me every single time. I don't know who thought of this, but last time I checked, it was supposed to be a feature, not a bug :D

Just fixing a mistake: what I described is the window function, not the integrated (in this case, cosine) function that was used in the article. In this case there would still be ripples when applying the shown window function (in cosine integration). I do think ripple-free are probably better functions (or some faster decaying ripples) because of limited floating point precision generating artifacts (which can be seen in the center in the second demo).

Experimentally playing around a little I've found

fcos = cos(x) * sin(0.5 * w)/(0.5 * w) * smoothstep(6.28,0.0,0.38*w)

To be a good compromise between eliminating high frequency ripple and maintaining good definition.
Thank you, just landed safely. Glad that this flight of mine won't be part of Boeing's fat book of hull loss statistics.
I think the root of overcapitalization is fear. People who can't face their fears, will look for ways to run away from their fears.

For a founder, that way is runway. The founder who is terrified about the company's future, will raise a lot of money to not think about that future. Money buys them time and time buys them distance. A clean, safe separation from reality where unpleasant voices like "do we have product market fit?" or "is our moat large enough?" can be ignored or saved for "later". A "later" that seems further and further away depending on the money raised.

Overcapitalization, in that sense, is meant as a security blanket, not a safety net. In that sense, the complacency and eventual corruption of the organization derives from the need for safety that executives and their managers subconsciously & naturally prioritize above all else.

On that note, I'm curious how Slack will fare over the next few years.
Pretty sure that is on purpose for the theme of the game.

I would probably give up if the game had OSHA approved flood lightning in a medieval dungeon prison cell.
Last time I checked, Voat was a bunch of people letting the n-word rip in every comment like they're 10yo and discovered a bad word for the first time.

This was just posted with a heavily editorialized title ("Google announces plan to break password managers in name of security") and promptly flagged.

However - I think it's worth having a discussion about this. I don't see the issue.

Can someone explain? Embedded browsers are a terrible way to offer 3rd party oAuth login. Apps should redirect to a browser for the login flow.

Anything else trains users that typing their password for company A into an app from company B is fine. And surely that means phishing becomes trivial.

This is not true at all, and neither is the comment you responded to.

The constitution doesn't apply to a location or a medium, it applies to an actor: the US government (and state/local subdivisions). The US government has to follow it everywhere, and nobody else has to follow it anywhere.
It certainly has drawn attention to some of the merits of Monero.
Unfortunately, it becomes virtually universal when a small set of massive companies (with similar censorship ideas) control 99% of all our communications and social media.

I think this evades the spirit of the legal protections here, at least.

Note: I'm not disagreeing with you, and don't really have a solution here. Just pointing out how the current situation feels like dangerous territory.
Pretty sure it wasn't "so does everyone else at Google." I challenge you to find that quote. Not at all representative of what I said. Stop casting aspersions on me.

One factor that I bring up whenever the “ham radio is dying” discussion happen is the FCC public database and safety/doxxing, specifically for marginalized communities such as Trans individuals and Black folks. It, itself, is creating a safety concern in modern society for people that may want to join the hobby but fear doxxing and harassment.

If I give out my call sign on the Internet (or on the air) you now know my real name, address, and every past address I’ve ever used. So let’s say I registers as Bob Smith at 123 Fake St 4 years ago, and now I go by Susan Smith at 456 Example Blvd you’d know all that information with a simple lookup.

The only real semi-workaround is when someone first licenses (and you probably don’t know this at first) is to use a PO Box, otherwise any address change will be on record.

Once things are better... if you like books, you have to visit Powell's at some point in your life. I used to work a few blocks away and would often spend my lunch break there. The trick was to look at books before eating, so I'd get hungry enough to remember to leave.
Why wouldn't you use 2FA? What is the burden to you? And why is it "forced"? You use a company's service, you abide by their rules, period. There are companies that force you to accept draconian terms, enforcing 2FA is good, not bad.
Don't know.

I originally used categorically to mean "unambiguously explicit and direct", but adding to what you said (with which I mostly agree), Scrypt actually does provide a categorical increment to security by being ASIC-resilient.

There are differences among them between classes of attacks they're susceptible to, provable security properties, and how paranoid should you should be in respect to advances cryptanalysis.

I tend to weigh these as significant factors given that the dynamics of password-based auth can very well lead to a database leak screwing someone over 20 years into the future, although I admit that you can't get too picky nowadays and I'd be very glad if we, as a species, could have what you described as a lower-bound (with the exception of PBKDF2, of course :P)

Time value of money.

Technical debt it's literally dollars to donuts in time spent getting yourself out of the hole you are in right now.

Maintenance is the cost of keeping the lights on.

I run a two year old system which is now riddled with technical debt. How we got here has very little to do with the technology decision, stack, code, and a lot to do with management outsourcing and cost cutting.

Technical debt is never paid back through maintenance. It's just conceptionally wrong to tie them together. To phase better I can't maintenance my self out of this problem, but I can keep this system running forever with little to no cost.
Sites that do any of that stuff are infuriating. Great if that's what you're going for.

It's pretty sad that in this day and age the PRC is trying to annex the ROC and arguing that the annexation would legitimate since the lands were part of imperial China more than a century ago. Apparently the citizens of the ROC have no say in this matter. Apparently the fact that the PRC and ROC have clearly demonstrated their ability to coexist doesn't matter. It's just sad.

Hopefully the PRC can find some other argument supporting their legitimacy instead of neo-imperialist aggression against its non-threatening neighbors.
If that is true then that suggests that the efforts of the establishment to rein the big social media companies will prove largely ineffective with the result that Facebook, Google, etc, will probably join the New York Times, Harvard, etc, as part of the governing structure of the US.

That's exactly what "reining in" looks like. Instead of being an alternative to, e.g. the New York Times and opposing the next Iraq war, social media just becomes yet another rah-rah cheerleading mouthpiece of whatever opinion the "serious people" hold.

I don't know if you consider Chomsky to be a "serious person", but Manufacturing Consent does go into how the people actually in charge of the government (professional civil servants, corporate lobbyists, etc) manage to make it seem as if their opinions are infallibly correct and countervailing opinions are thinly veiled crankery. What social media did (at least in its early days) was give everyone the ability to manufacture consent at a scale that previously was only the domain of the large media corporations. The establishment media is obviously threatened by this and are working to ensure that the new media follows the same guidelines as the old, even if that means censorship.

Of course, that's not how the establishment media phrases it (and probably not even how they believe it). They see it as "protecting" the people from unsavory "Russian fake news". In reality, though, that's just a lie they tell themselves and tell us to justify their continued hold on the ability to decide which opinions can be held by "right-thinking people". If they were truly interested in "the marketplace of ideas", they wouldn't be pushing so hard to make platforms as centralized, controllable and censorship friendly as they are.

No idea. Look it up if that would sway you.

I'm not defending these hypothetical Fediverse apps that don't moderate. I'm saying that compared to Fediverse apps exposing a few thousand people to hate speech, Facebook and Twitter actively promoting bigotry, propaganda and conspiracy theories to tens or hundreds of millions of people is far more harmful — even if they make a nominal effort to prevent it from happening.

And, more to the point, I'm alleging that the reason Google is taking down the Fediverse apps and not Facebook or Twitter has nothing to do with their moderation policies, and everything to do with money.
There are a number of "sub-hobbies" within amateur radio. It's a lot like asking what people with a Linux box actually do with their setups. From a completely practical point of view, the internet and cell phones can do most of what ham radio can do; people do it for fun.

Technical or social conversations are definitely a common activity. Especially during the first few months of COVID my local repeaters were very active just with people seeking a bit of human community.

Emergency preparedness is a common side hobby; many municipal/county emergency services have a corresponding ARES/RACES group with which they have points of contact, regular drills, and so on.

Other sub-hobbies are more purely technical, like DX (long distance communication; there will be contests with goals like "most different countries contacted"), or QRP (doing as much as possible with minimal radio power); satellite or moonbounce or meteor-scatter; homebrew (building some or all of your equipment); a variety of (usually low bandwidth) packet switched networks; slow-scan video; etc.

Orthogonal to all of the above is the variety of modes and bands people use: you can use VHF FM handhelds not unlike a walkie-talkie; voice or digital or Morse modes; microwave or 2-meter (city-range) or 80-meter (continent-range) or etc; traditional hardware or SDR or deliberately archaic tubes; operating from home or your car or packing your station on foot to a remote mountaintop.
