And that doesn't even touch on replay attacks.

If you have a door lock that accepts "lock", "unlock" and "report status", a MITM attacker only needs to capture the encrypted & signed "unlock" command, then replay it later.

Many workarounds were developed to mitigate this such as random values, incrementing values and timestamps, but most were found insecure. Challenge-response systems with a short validity period are one of the better systems in use, but require bi-directional communication which can make some products (ex: garage door openers) more expensive.
Browser diversity keeps the Web deliberately slow

Would a single browser make the Web fast? No, it wouldn't. If Microsoft Explorer had won and locked down users and websites, would the Web today be fast? No, the Web would not be fast.

Are there fast websites? Yes, I'm typing into one. I think the reason the web is slow is feature creep by both browsers and websites. Diversity is not the problem. Complexity is the problem.
The lawyers have not mentioned anything near that, otherwise I'd be working right now!

My application used Premium Processing, and I got an RFE, so I'm still sitting here on my hands. It's frustrating, but is it worth asking the lawyers about being able to start since I'm in the process of the application?
yes! Can you give an example of what you want? And if you can give me a test case that would be great too!
> This guy actually wants a switch on his headphones

He specifically addresses that, and then compares it to unplugging a keyboard that gives electric shocks, which is a completely different thing. He kind of lost me at that point, i just immediately get my headphones off my ears when something like this happens. It’s a simple and powerful solution and doesn’t require the complexity for the reasons you just mentioned.
Surely not? The point of the find is that this is the first time a mammal has been found at such an elevation.
They often do. Trumps own supreme court ruled that this year.

“ Did Trump lawfully repeal the Obama-era order that shielded young immigrants who were brought to this country as children?

No, the court said in a 5-4 ruling written by Chief Justice Roberts. He said that while the president had the legal authority to revoke the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, his administration failed to give a reasoned explanation for ending a policy that encouraged about 700,000 immigrants to register with the government to obtain work permits and avoid deportation. ”

The takeaway is don't buy something that requires maintenance without a plan for who is going to do the maintenance. Coffee machines that use milk products need to have (at least) daily maintenance; for a commons coffee machine it's better to get the model without automated milk processing, or declare it's not to be hooked up or used.

Real threats and serious political discussions have their place, but this is just political theatre before the upcoming election.

> This is hopefully one of the most educated and forward looking places online.

If a person would think this remark about executive order was made as a threat, or that it has a real possibility of passing, or even if the current president is serious about acting on it, I would subconsciously exclude that person from the "one of the most educated" group.
The expectation drove capital investment.

The business application of it meant profits from each generation could fund the higher costs of each succeeding generation.

Now we are in the tens of $billions for a new generation, with much smaller increases in performance, and it is faltering. Will we spend hundreds of $billions on factories for smaller transistors? Or will we find a more cost-effective way to get more performance?

Ventile, long staple cotton, works by absorbing and swelling with water; "closing" the weave and preventing further water from getting in. However, the inner surface of the fabric is still wet, so your clothes underneath the jacket can still get wet through capillary action. So to mitigate this, oftentimes manufacturers will use two layers of Ventile or put a wool liner underneath the shoulders.

Also, once thoroughly soaked through, it will take just as long to dry as regular ol' cotton. This is why Stotz still treats their version, EtaProof, with DWR.

I think Ventile is great, but I think it's better suited for situations where you'll return to a heated shelter at the end of the night.
Yeah, my boss is here on an H1B, and has been with the same company for I think 12 years now, even though the company has had many rough years and I'm sure he would have switched jobs already if not for his H1B status.

He's since married and has a kid, used to live in an apartment but now has a house, although he might be renting, I'm not sure.

I started dating and eventually married my wife, got two dogs, and bought a house in just the five years I've been working at the company myself, so a lot of life events can happen in that time.

For a concrete example of what 100x feels like, importing digital camera imagery into a gallery in 1999-2000 was on the order of 10-15 seconds per image (for a ~2 MP image, which was current state-of-the-art for resolution). Multi-core and hyperthreading was still years away.

PhotoStructure, a self-hosted photo and video manager, uses libvips (a wonderfully performant image library) and is multi-processed and multi-threaded. Typical images are >10x the resolution (24-40MP images are standard from DSLR) yet several are processed in parallel every second.

I have stopped using Bluetooth audio altogether. I feel like it’s a major step back in audio quality, but maybe you may be the best person to ask: for someone who appreciates high quality music codecs on eg spotify, what can I do to make this work over Bluetooth? I have some Bose QC2 headphones and as far as I can tell it’s pretty much impossible to get anything over 128kbits.

Is there something I’m overlooking here?

The "US Tech Workers" "union" is actually a front for the John Tanton white nationalist network. It is not an actual union.

It is true that some other unions like the AFL-CIO have historically opposed immigration on these grounds, though.
I like the trend of dependency free libraries in Rust. While cargo makes it easy to add dependencies, it's a double edged sword with extra compile times. I'll keep an eye on this one as a possible replacement for clap which is a bit heavy to compile. Lack of subcommands is a blocker to adoption for me though. The parameter type validation looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Probably my 1 year old daughter talks right now, but I really have no time to do stuff on the weekend.

When the market recovers your career will recover too.

'There will be blood': Xenophobia in S Africa routine and lethal
In certain limited domains, increased hardware capability shows up in proportionally more useful or meaningful results. In most uses the difference is squandered on eye candy or abstraction overhead.

We see it in video game rendering and weather prediction, but not in web page presentation, where it is squandered on pointless animation.
I agree. I think you made the right call. We live in Canada (Ontario). We wanted to move to SF to be closer to family (Mexico) but in the end, even with a FAANG job offer, it was too risky and the current political climate doesn't seem friendly to immigration (even legally). Quite more so for someone from Mexico.

I mean, are you still writing any code? If not then those questions will look pretty damn difficult, as their objective is to filter for people that know how to write code (it's a high precision, lower recall filter, though). As an engineering manager you're probably not really writing any code on a regular basis. It's the same for expecienced managers in a BigCoolKnownCorp that I work for, I think they would have problems with an entry level whiteboarding code question.

With Vega, I meant discrete cards. They feature Unified Video Decoder (UVD).

APUs, while they contain cut-down Vegas, use Video Core Next (VCN) for video. It is worth saying, that the new 4000 series Ryzen APUs use VCN 2.0, which does NOT support AV1 decoding. For that, VNC 3.0 is needed, which is coming with Navi 2 chips.

The biggest problem with "modern" digital controls, the lag, is completely avoidable. One can easily design a system using a microcontroller that responds within 10ms, which gives the appearance of being instantaneous. It's all just shoddy software engineering using bloated frameworks and poor languages, and consumers that don't know any better. Somehow we've had this problem going on a decade, and nobody has seen fit to shape up their development process.
Ok? The Windows way is better. It just is.
The rationale put forward in this piece for Nvidia wanting to acquire Arm is essentially that AI compute will move to the 'edge' and that as Arm dominates compute in the edge Nvidia needs to defend its position and to follow that compute. So in one sense it's defensive of Nvidia's existing position.

Once again though did Nvidia need to buy Arm to do this? It could license its own IP and /or compete with SoC's of its own for this market. As in the server market the advantage of ownership (and what is worth $40bn) is the advantage it gives Nvidia in information and control of what is done with Arm IP.
And even if there is a physical switch, it is not clear what that switch is doing. My bluetooth headset has a hardware on/off switch. However, when the switch is turned off, it plays a sound to say the words "power off". If it were a physical switch across the battery, then I would expect the power to be immediately cut, and it shouldn't have the power to say that the power has been cut.

No. I need it to conduct business, and that's more important to me than posting or discussing controversial topics. People in China literally do not use email, so this is the only effective method to get things done (which I'm totally ok with!). This ban would be an absolute disaster for me, given that my entire rolodex are WeChat contacts, not email addresses.

I also feel for my friends who have family in China, and want to stay connected with them through a medium that is widely adopted.

There is a cultural standard that is just different in China when it comes to free speech, and it's hard for most people in the US to accept that.
Romans were thinking long-term "Most structures in the US are designed to last around 50 to 100 years". This is common to even the 20thC where early-century builds are easily upgradeable (and worth it), whereas late-century structures are not. IMO It's really about investment cycles; currently they're ~50 years, they used to be much longer.
It's no single thing because people's decisions are affected by the sum total of their life's balance sheet.

The labor market is something that emerges from the equilibrium of several opposing forces. We as a society decide which causal factors are 'reasonable' and which are 'unfair'.

As a simple example, you could argue that 'the wages for married individuals with kids are depressed due to the massive labor pool of single people in their 20s who can be employed for far less as long as you offer them free food and some cutesy perks like happy hours and pool tables'. Ceteris paribus, and as a pure fact of economics, this is true. Of course if you have a bigger supply of labor and hold other things constant, wages will depress, but as a matter of practical policy, we don't consider it 'unfair' that there exist single people who are competing for jobs that married people are also competing for.

But many people do consider it unfair that there exist Indians who are competing for jobs that Americans are also competing for.

This is a matter of policy and your personal sense of what is fair and what is not, not economics.
In the US we pass legislation in favor of these big corps to continue to grow, but its all good since they are US companies, they should decide our laws. What a joke.

Qouting "documents identify more than $2 trillion in transactions between 1999 and 2017 that were flagged by financial institutions’ internal compliance officers as possible money laundering or other criminal activity — including $514 billion at JPMorgan and $1.3 trillion at Deutsche Bank."

So what's the claim here? banks should have not wired money or the doj looked the other way and did nothing when there was suggestion of fraud?
These kinds of rules are insane.

It implies the government/bank cannot legitimately determine your status.

It's a mind-boggling level of bureaucratic incompetency.

You should get some kind of 'citizen number' from the government, then, the government allows certain 'highly regulated organizations' to 'check on status for specific reasons.

You go to the bank/wireless carrier, show your ID with citizen number and 'prove it's you' - the bank has permission to request your 'status' from the government at that time (i.e. 'landed immigrant' 'citizen' 'diplomat') and makes their own business decisions.

Easy peasy.

Same thing for insurance, healthcare, social benefits etc..
Very important caveat:

"First, even with the inclusion of a rich set of covariates and sensitivity analyses, the observational study design precludes causal interpretations."
This seems like a ‘citation needed’ kind of dismissal.

These are obvious consequences of being
required to have a CCP board member.

The government having a board member is by definition a form of government control.

These are not ‘non-obvious’ claims and as such they don’t need citations.

If you want to argue that somehow these conclusions aren’t reasonable, by all means do so. But no citation is needed.

Don't judge all of us audiophiles with a blanket statement. Yes, measured hearing capacity is definitely a key metric to know (why invest in super tweeters when you can't hear past 18KHz for example), but room acoustics is probably the very next thing I'd look at.

I've seen so much "expensive" gear in rooms that are absolutely horrid in terms of sound reflections. Just a carpet, curtains or a couple of cheap sound panels can make wonders in improving sound if you know just a bit of the physics of sound. You don't have to invest in super expensive equipment to do that.

Furthermore, there is a healthy DIY community these days, where you can build your own speakers, cables, amplifiers, etc, with very little effort, and get a lot of enjoyment in the process and with the product. I built a set of LX521.4 and LX Mini speakers from Siegfried Linkwitz [0] and it changed completely the way I listen to audio now for an order of magnitude less money that what I'd had to pay otherwise...
