There are switches that literally don't go any fixture or outlets at all, there's not even a visible sign of a fixture being removed. I assume the fixture was removed sometime during buildings life.
I'll concede that yes, technically, the disconnected wires become an antenna. The audio signal will radiate away from the section of wire between the amplifier and the switch.

But the reality is that the signal is unmodulated, and the 'antenna' is a random-length pcb trace located near the ground plane. It's a terrible radiator.

So if the question is "Is this an antenna that will radiate problematic amounts of rf when the switch is opened?" the answer is "No."

> I admittedly haven't tried F# since .net core. I just remember it being very Windows-centric and closely tied to parts of the C# ecosystem

FWIW I did a small project recently in f#, using .net core (on linux), and it never seemed like a second-class citizen. Can't speak to the c# ecosystem, though.

Right. My question is, why is this a mark in favour of rust? It doesn't seem to distinguish it at all from the other languages you mention.

> Never mind that you might have a house a family and might have been living here for more than a decade.

I lived in the US on a temporary, non-immigrant visa similar to the H-1B for six years.

Buying a house and starting a family while on such a visa always struck me as deeply irresponsible. I was reticent to even get a pet. The US immigration process sucks, but it's sucked for a long time, and the extent to which it's going to suck for you in particular is knowable ahead of time. Simply reading the language on the forms you fill out while applying for such a visa makes it clear how the US government regards you[0]. To ignore that and live your life as though you have permanent residency already is to carelessly put yourself (and your family, if you have one) in a risky situation.

I have sympathy for people who find themselves in this position. Leaving the US as a single person with no significant assets was tough enough for me, I can't imagine what it's like for someone who's really put down roots there. That said, if you were living like a "temporary worker in a speciality occupation" you wouldn't have put down roots.

[0] I know a lot of people listen to their employers pie-in-the-sky promises of Green Cards and how layoffs "never happen" and so forth. You're an adult, though. Understand your legal situation for yourself.

If the truth sounds suspicious, you can look that up to, and find plenty of counter arguments with pseudo or self proclaimed authorities.

Flat earthers don't just read one article and suddenly they believe it. They spend a lot of time going down rabbit holes reading and watching all sorts of stuff.

There's good information out there, but there's also a swamp of bullshit pretending not to be that you have to wade through.

Let's also remember that Firefox broke Internet Explorer's dominance. Without that initial step, who knows what Chrome would have looked like, how much reach it would have had, or whether Google would have seen it as a worth while endeavor.
You're comparing the actions of a company against the actions of a state. If the US was actively influencing facebook to show anti-lgbt, anti-blm, and anti-usa messaging then I could see the comparison better.

What I've found wreaks the most havoc on build times is having too many -iquote and -isystem flags. Last time I profiled TensorFlow compiles using strace, about half the gcc wall time was spent inside all the stat() system calls those flags generate.
Thanks! I don’t know Momentum but this extension seems really helpful.
Legal or otherwise, I've seen plenty of sellers holding their products while photographing, so I wonder why it's done --- personally I think it looks a bit unprofessional to have a hand or other things showing. Putting it on a table or otherwise featureless surface would look far better to a prospective buyer.
Because one of the security functions of a browser extension (as demonstrated by this very issue) is to ensure that a password for one site only goes to the same site, and not to a convincing-to-a-human phishing site. A browser extension that you can rely on to fill in your password is therefore better for your security than one where you get in the habit of deciding you know better than it and end up copying and pasting passwords and making judgments yourself.
That could just be for continuity - so if they shoot the video out of order, you don't get the gloves appearing and disappearing and reappearing between scenes.

Any test will have false negatives, and there's indication that the false negative for the COVID RT-PCR test is really quite high. A negative test should not be considered probative.

COVID-19 is not known to persist for a long time, however, and lingering symptoms are not necessarily a sign of lingering infection. Most likely they are a result of damage rather than illness, or perhaps ongoing immune response.
What does “tainted” mean? That seems like a weasel word to imply something nefarious without proof.

As the OP stated. The banks are flagging these transactions as per regulations. Should we have them block every “suspicious” transaction?
I remain unconvinced that a Blink-WebKit duopoly would be a better situation than what we have now. For one, Apple has more than enough money to fund WebKit development, and I am not sure the sudden addition of the Firefox team would be welcomed or beneficial there. And while Gecko and WebKit share many of the same goals, they diverge in parts of the browser I consider critically important, such as extensibility. Even if Firefox has low market share I consider their contribution to the browser space to be much more than their usage share would imply.
Every digital control oven I have ever used continued to increment or decrement as long as you held the appropriate button down. No need to press the button twenty times. Some of them even increased the rate of increase/decrease the longer you held the button down.
Even from your perspective—which isn’t Luddism, it seems to be an assumption that a small handheld device with passive cooling is inherently underpowered and that larger form factors will always have a performance advantage—the thing that phones are able to do right now, at least in Apple properties, is improve the performance/power ratio so significantly that one of the largest technology brands is switching their entire large form factor lineup to the chips designed for their small handhelds.

In other words... the thing phones can continue to do for general processing power is dictate efficiency by necessity, and make that efficiency generalizable if there’s an interest in that investment.
Speaking from personal experience - I watched the film with my girlfriend and a lot of it was news to her. It's changed her relationship with social media and technology.

I also suggested it to a friend who was pretty addicted to Facebook and believed a lot of conspiracy theories. It's made him realise how FB has given him (and others) a distorted picture of reality. He's now disconnected from Facebook and only keeping in contact via messages.
I believe every person should act according to their own subjective morality and understanding of the social consequences of their behavior. In fact, that is exactly what they will do, regardless of what is written or spoken to them. If their acts agree with expectations it is only due to a coincidental alignment of beliefs.

I find it incredibly doubtful that I would elect to place myself in harms way to further any of the campaigns you've listed. I do not believe it is my place to judge others for doing so, however.
if it'd be better for Firefox and diversity of browser engines for FF to use WebKit.

Of course not. If all browsers effectively turn into slightly different UIs for WebKit, that is zero diversity.
When I wrote my thesis on Bitcoin money laundering I could not locate any hard evidence that law enforcement had operated a honeypot laundering service, other than it being an extremely obvious thing to do. That was a bit ago, but I wonder whether or not this is the first instance of an agency disclosing they had done so.
>You still need a bank to get a loan
That is true today but it could change.

DeFi is currently just hype and experiments but there is no reason why it would not mature in the next decade or two.

> you still need a bank to take care of your money if you don't want to be one hard drive failure away from losing access to the entirety of your funds.

That is just not true. Multi-sign with variable weights and quorum exists. Storage of the private key(s) also does not need to be digital at all. It's just a number often represented as string of chars and numbers or as mnemonic phrase usually just 24 words long.
It is rather trivial to store multiple times in different places just make sure no one can find the full key or enough keys to sign a transaction.

We're already at the point where Chrome is the modern day IE 6.

Infrequently (maybe 1-2 times a week), a website just will not work correctly on desktop Safari for me. As soon as I switch over to Chrome, it works perfectly. It's pretty common for websites to say something akin to "use Chrome for the best experience."

Safari is only relevant today due to iOS's popularity. If it weren't for the iPhone, Safari would just be another specialty browser for a tiny slice of consumers.
I believe the extra step of social media is that they are not satisfied by changing your behavior from not buying a product to buying a product. They also change your behavior in somewhat indirect ways with the goal that you continue to engage with their platform more and more and be subject to more advertising on the future. So they make you more fanatic or more extremist or more polarized, because it will lead you to stay more time on their site.

They want you perpetually in the state of looking into a rabbit hole rather than feeling that you are satisfied with your knowledge of something and ready to move on with your life.

The fact that we bring our phone everywhere, that there are push notifications, and that we interact with other people (often friends) makes it fundamentally different from a TV or a magazine.
I am curious what the market share split is on macOS.
Exactly. Exactly. So many of those are thinly veiled lies in disguise ; and when creators are being pointed to inaccuracies, their response is "we shot this not to accurately convey the sequence of events, but to raise awareness and to start public debate". Obviously, no debate is started, because general public likes to consume, not to analyze what is being consumed.
Sorry for the rant, I'm fed up with documentaries being mocumentaries
Maybe you could use the secure connection to resync the time or some other clock with the authenticated server. I guess that’s just another request / response type of arrangement though. And then any breakdown of communication for an extended period of time would brick the whole thing.

EDIT: Maybe the time based one time password algorithm can be configured to be made less time granular (say daily) so that it can handle clock drift.

It's the route JavaScript is taking too. JavaScript has traditionally been single threaded, so all the existing types are single-thread only. Multi-threading is being introduced (still very experimental atm) and the only way to have shared memory is through dedicated "shared" types.
A more accurate description is that every browser uses WebKit, Safari's rendering engine.

(Not sure people realized this is sarcasm.) Right because if they believe something crazy like there being a backdoor in something recommended by the government then people will just say they are not a real cryptographer. Because of course no part of our government ever does anything tricky like backdoors and even if one part of the government did, it could never influence another part that made recommendations to the public for what security algorithms to use. And of course anyone suggesting that such a thing might be possible is just an insane conspiracy theorist.

> I remember when IE6 was the most common browser, it was hard to find a site that wasn't viewable in any other browser

Man, we have different memories. Mine are of a sea of “best experienced with IE6 and 800x600” messages on sites that had all kinds of CSS flaws in every other browser, including Microsoft’s own IE for Mac. Compared to today it was an absolute mess. Today’s JS-only app sites are pretty good for cross platform compatibility, despite plenty of other flaws.
Thanks for the advice. I'm stuck on 11 until the next LTS release but I'll definitely be trying ZGC next year. (ZGC is in 11 but still marked experimental, and I'm conservative about making changes.)
I do something similar with chromecast_mpris. I have my media keys mapped to Plasma's Media Controller, which uses MPRIS in the background. Works well for me, and you don't have to wait for catt to launch and find your Chromecast each time.
No I'm literally saying marry an american. My wife is from China and I'm from USA. Marrying her ended all of the H1B games overnight.
Sure.

Well, maybe you should ask this question to the mods then. Just like you I'm all for outing the 'who' here.
I think you are mixing up 'good food' with 'good business'.

Even if we grant that McDonalds or Subway are bad food, they are often good business because they have a value proposition. For me, it's consistency, low price, a basic degree of hygiene and food safety, which is important when visiting developing countries, and occasionally food that I like to eat.

On the other hand, the generic mom-and-pop burger shop might sell a decent burger, but they might still be fundamentally undifferentiated businesses perpetually operating at the brink of bankruptcy. It's no surprise that the restaurant business is Peter Thiel's classic example of a very likely to fail business.
Internet Explorer reigned the Browsers, and to be honest web and web development was a boring field. Once Firefox was released, web and web development revived.

Boring is good. It means a stable platform you can rely on.

It popularized things like web 2.0, table-less css layouts, using web browser as an application development platform, etc.

...and now we have sites that would be perfectly fine as static HTML being turned into app-sites that require running megabytes of arbitrary code just to render some static content, consuming resources on every single machine that visits them, every time they visit.
How did you open a bank account in the US (esp. as a foreigner) without having to show at least the passport and valid visa? In my experience helping a couple of fresh/new immigrants (on student visa) get their bank accounts opened recently at Chase, it's much tougher than what you are describing. I wonder if what you said is not longer true.

I myself even had to call both Citi and Capital One to verify my legal residency status to them for having their credit cards. Banks in the US are catching up to this it seems.

Your friend who moved 250K from HSBC to WF, I wouldn't be surprised if s/he is now being monitored by the US intelligence.

uBlock Origin has blocking mode [1], it should be possible to start with hard mode and degrade with shortcut.

Disabling part of the page make it broken for one user and improves for another. No cookies - no previously viewed; no javascript - no interaction; no css - hidden content displayed; no media - faster load. Just like with Stylus a lot of opinions.

I can mark what works with my setup, but it does not necessary matches your accepted level of "brokennes".

That’s a pretty big “if”. I could apply the same logic to anyone that releases a closed beta of their software. “If they were to release the production version to a closed audience...”
"Changes to your behavior and actions"

Is there an industry anywhere that is not in the business of influencing behavior or actions? Why do you think that doesn't apply to news, education, healthcare, whatever?
Thank you. The new version (in the beta testing link) does actually look a lot better than that. :)
I'm sure they keep records to return the property, should the next of kin come forward to claim it...
I think it was referring to Electrical network frequency analysis, which is to find the time that the recording was made. It compares small changes in mains hum frequency to historic records of the changes. I am not sure how it is in the US, but the UK grid has a single frequency over the network so it wouldn't work for finding the location.
OP isn't comparing it to Rails, Python, etc. He's comparing it to Erlang.

ANd, to that, I'd agree. I've built high traffic stuff in Java. We built it, load tested it, it was terrible. After multiple rounds of profiling, tweaking GC settings, tweaking threadpool sizes, rewriting things to be async, finding out that a client library wasn't reusing connections properly, etc, we finally had acceptable performance...that still was less than I'd gotten out of the box in similar, IO bound services, written as unoptimized Erlang.
One big thing would be Apple actually allowing full third party browsers on iOS. But no sign of that, 13 years into the platform.
Crypto may not be the answer, but some a couple thousand in precious metals, diamonds, and crypto could find a nice home in your bugout bag.
The quality of the fingerprints in the image mentioned is amazingly good, not so much worse than what's produced by proper fingerprint capture devices. The FBI operates a database of fingerprint images (IAFIS) and his fingerprints were taken when he was arrested prior to this incidents and submitted to the FBI (standard practice by nearly all law enforcement agencies). IAFIS includes an automatic matching system which allows you to submit fingerprint images and receive a list of possible matches, and this is also standard practice in criminal investigations (as well as often used for background checks).

So really, nothing about this is suspicious at all, it's completely standard law enforcement practice to obtain fingerprints in any way possible and submit them to the FBI for matching, and then run down any possible matches. Your local police department does this for car breakins if they can spare the resources (not too unusual to get good latent prints off the windows, but it is unusual for police department to spend the time/money). The only odd thing here is LE's fortune, and the accused's misfortune, of images having been uploaded with such clear capture of the fingerprints.
I've settled into sort of a hierarchy. If I really want to hack out a small prototype quickly, I use NodeJS. Not having types helps me change things around quickly. If I already have a pretty good idea of my data model but still want to develop quickly, I'll use Go. If it's something 1.0.0+ and I want to make it as reliable as possible, I'd use Rust. My problem seems to be few of my projects ever get to that stage, so I'm mostly writing Go these days...
>I wish more resources were spent on law enforcement at the local level, fighting real crime. They could have more police patrolling the streets and subways, deterring assaults[0] and daylight shootings[1].

Since it's become clear that the NYPD is intentionally[0] not doing its job in "protest" over perfectly reasonable state[1] and local[2] oversight of their activities, we need to ensure that they actually do their jobs rather than create a more dangerous place by not doing so.
And this deeply troubling activity may actually get the city to soften[5] these important reforms.

>Of course people are calling to defund the police, and if that happens I’ll have to be more worried.

Given that crime is at its lowest point in NYC in over 50 years (and that includes the recent uptick in shootings[3]), it seems to me that your concerns are misplaced, especially since the reduction in funding --much less than the widely quoted $1 billion -- for the NYPD has yet to take effect.[4]

As someone who was around at the time, it was absolutely because Chrome was a faster and better browser. If I recall Gmail was still in private beta then and Android hadn’t made a big mark yet.
You seem to be very convinced that Rusts main competitors are Java and C#. I don't think this is usually true. Rusts main competitors are C and C++. I agree that in most cases where Java and C# are possible options they should be prefered over Rust. There are however many situations where neither Java nor C# are options.
As I've said before, the only thing worse than Apple forcing people to use Safari is Apple not forcing people to use Safari.
> We're already at the point where Chrome is the modern day IE 6. [...] As soon as I switch over to Chrome, it works perfectly

Well, at least you can switch... for free. In order to install IE6, you had to pay for an operating system license first, and it was only compatible with that OS.

Not that I'm saying that I like the browser monoculture we're heading into. But I think there're still some differences. You can look into Chrome's engine source code. I've yet to see Microsoft releasing the source for Trident or EdgeHTML.

Amazon has a series (that I think was originally an Italian show) called ZeroZeroZero that tracks a shipment of cocaine from Mexico on its way to Italy. Not a bad show, with some good music (sounds like a Reznor/Ross soundtrack, but it's not), but it is a very slow burn. Eight episodes, but it probably should have been 5 or 6 max.

Coincidentally, one of the criminal elements in the show are the "Vampires".
