As someone who doesn't play Factorio, what basic building blocks is this made from? Are there programmable objects or is it built from logic gates?

To make a Minecraft analogy that more people might understand, is it closer to redstone or command blocks?
ACR == Automatic Content Recognition. Basically it periodically screenshots what the panel is showing and sends it to their servers to see if it matches the programs they know about to figure out what it is you're watching.

>the US Treasury Department should impose fines on parents who want to pay the ransom for their kidnapped children

Some countries does actually criminalize paying ransom for kidnapped children. The logic being that if society make it harder to pay ransoms (both via criminalization and strong currency controls at the bank), then less kidnappers will get paid, which leads to less kidnapped children (hopefully).

The vast majority of people in this thread probably disagree with such a law. I certainly do. But on the other hand I realize that if I had been born in one of these countries and lived there my whole life, I would probably be a fervent defender of such a law.
My apartment's current A/V setup is an old third-hand projector I picked up for free pointed at a blank wall of our living room. The only thing I paid for was the serial cable so I could configure the correct input port, but even if I'd purchased the projector new it would run me about $150. In comparison, one of the article's top recommended dumb TVs is $450, while the other is "no longer available". Plus we can use a real computer with a keyboard sitting on our coffee table to control it instead of using the TV remote to painstakingly enter every character. Sure, we could have a less janky setup in many ways -- one day I aspire to build an actual wall shelf for the projector -- but the experience is miles better than any TV, smart or otherwise.

Many comments suggest never connecting smart TVs to the Internet, and others rightly point out that the TV could seek out open APs. What about deploying some hardware to basically launch a deauth attack on the TV whenever it tries to connect to anything? Wi-PWN[0] looks like a fairly good starting place for this since it can be flashed on an ESP8266. It’d probably need some tweaks for this use-case though.

Highly anecdotal, but my ex at the time (white), bio major, had a real tough time studying for midterms and finals in undergrad. Meanwhile, my cousin (Indian) in the same class was breezing through the exams, partying more than me (a liberal arts major!), generally screwing around and somehow consistently ended up with a better score. My ex couldn’t parse this and just assumed my cousin was smarter or more qualified academically. An understatement to say that she second-guessed if she was qualified to be in medicine.

Years later, my cousin laughingly confided in me that he had access to all the old exams that were just questions shuffled around through the years. He got them through his campus Indian student group. I confirmed this with some other people I knew in that group, all of who treated it like common knowledge. Changed the way I saw and interacted with people I’ve known my whole life. Certainly changed the way my ex felt about those haunting exam scores.

My personal take? Residencies have n spots. The people qualified to succeed in those spots is n * y (where y > 2). It may be that people who cheat to get into a residency were qualified to do the job, but it doesn’t mean they deserved to be there. This can be true in a lot of other positions that require the applicant to jump through different hoops.
>Eventually the glasses can capture a visual record of whatever you saw, the AirPods potentially can capture what you heard

I expect the glasses might have built in audio capture, potentially even playback, themselves and if executed properly will be at least as successful as you predict. I think the current use and popularity of live-streaming and social video apps points to what an impact the ability to live stream to record a complete capture of your first-person experience will have. It’s also going to have immense utility from a practical standpoint, being able to functionally capture any experience for later reference or processing. The utility of live streaming through first person devices is already proven out with remote assistance tech.

This comment really put into perspective what kind of malware these extensions are to me.

When I think about decentralized open source solutions, the major example that comes to mind is email, with how Gmail can communicate with Hotmail can communicate with AOL Mail.

And this made me realize that these chrome extension are not too different from an extension that saves and archives your email history. Pure malware.
On the contrary, I think it’s a feminine design. I would wager that more watches are sold to women too. Anecdotally it appears to be true.

You have over $500K? Take $50K and setup a margin account.

Follow my trades for the next year while you work. Trade it while working if you can. When you turn the $50K into $250K you can quit your job and trade full time and work as a white-hat and control what you do.

Okay that was the easy way out. Now the hard way.

Get certifications. Security is hot right now. Everyone needs a security person. A cert or experience signal that right now.

Network. How many meetings have you scheduled with someone in security at your current company in the last month? What are you waiting for. Message everyone at your company and ask for 10 minutes to talk about how they got where they are. The more senior their role the better it is.

Also find another job for now that won't make you hate life. Start applying. Ever heard of informal interviews? Try it out.

Are you suggesting crypto mines are colocated with power plants and make up for their energy use with gains in transmission loss? Couldn't a DC in a power plant do some other low bandwidth task instead? Why is crypto a unique "low bandwidth" application?

Again, even if the hardware has a longer life due to "cheaper" energy why is crypto uniquely suited to take advantage of this?

> Is new single purpose hardware being created for a purpose you don't respect even when confronted with new information? Yes. Is the impact overblown and oversimplified? Yes.

This kind of cryptic condescension raises red flags for me. If you have information please share it. I am capable of making up my own mind without being talked down to.

Often, when a database entry is geotagged with a country, province, or city, trying to plot that entry on a map will result in a marker being drawn at the exact geometric centre of the region, implying more precision than actually exists. When the database entry represents something important to people, like stolen property or a missing person, and something happens to be at the place the map marker lands, desperate people can do desperate things.

That's insane. When he zoomed in to machine level and then out to show different functional units, I felt like I was looking at "the real world" from The Matrix.
> Publishers and copyright is also the reason why most books are not digitized.

There are also cost issues even when the book is already public domain. Yes, there have been efforts to scan a lot of old books, but often that has just been making fairly low-resolution scans with little or no clean-up process, and assembling those scans into huge and ungainly PDFs. That is OK for old prose works where a reader may only need to consult a single page. But appropriately digitizing something like a book of elaborately typeset poetry, or an art book (i.e. a large-format book with reproductions of paintings) requires a great deal of human effort, and that is expensive. It is no surprise that the print format still reigns in those genres.
On Ubuntu it is still only available via snap. I used to run a 4 node Raspberry Pi 4 lxd cluster. One of the nodes failed over a weekend while I was out of town. The containers which were running on the node properly restarted on a different node. That should have been the end of it until I was back in town and could restore the node to operational status. Unfortunately later that day the lxd snap decided to automatically update. It updated properly on the 3 nodes which remained operational but of course the failed node could not update. Once the other nodes were upgraded the cluster refused to come up because the failed node wasn't running the same version of lxd as the rest of the cluster. I mean technically it wasn't running anything but as far as lxd was concerned it was running a differing version even though it was down.

I noticed the entire cluster was down because my Plex server ran on it and I couldn't watch a movie when I tried later that evening. Luckily I was able to ssh in and determine the issue quickly. Force removing the failed node from the cluster got things going again.

Lxd was quickly replaced by K3S which is unfortunate because the lxd cluster better fit my needs, except reliability, and was much easier to configure/manage.

Even for small platform edge K8S clusters I actual find microk8s much easier than K3S but that would put me back in snap upgrade hell.

There are several things that can impact performance on "traditional" container runtimes. For example, cgroups, LSMs, seccomp (especially with spectre mitigations), network NS/bridges, etc. There are also more subtle things like being able to do CMA, or deal with shared memory. Most runtimes let you opt out but this becomes difficult to manage and secure with multiple users.
Comparing treament of Uighers to caste situation in India is unfair.

Yes there is discrimination but India is fighting it on policy and social level. Reserving 50% in education and jobs is one such big step. India's constitution was written by a a Dalit. Many people from the held high offices. Current prime minister and president are from the same community.

> Suffice to say, the US does engage in extensive aff action in education and hiring (although neither are directly legally mandated).

I have two Roku devices, never been particularly enthused with the response times using the remotes: they've both had issues recognizing signals and screens take a while to load. However, I do like that I can turn my TV on from my phone. I will probably look for a dumb TV at some point, but I'm also hoping to get a pi-hole setup to increase privacy in the meantime.
There are lots of shitwares that don't do async, so the shitware runs at a snail's pace offline because all the spyware requests have to time out before the shitware can do anything.

on its own, a device does little. but with all the electronics we’re surrounded by (phone, watch, airpods, laptop, etc), it may have a cumulative effect.

Is it just me who sees this as backwards? raise money => hire => build? shouldn't you have done something before you raise money, or is this my old-fashioned ideas colliding with the new "growth hacker" startup mentality?
Better to call them "non spy TV" sounds more accurate.
It's closer to redstone, but it's a more complicated system. It's like ladder logic in industrial control but with a couple hundred integer-valued registers per circuit network that the "combinators" update every game tick. The combinators include arithmetic and boolean operations, and you can set them to be performed on two or all of the registers.

It was fun figuring out how to make an automated system that feeds nuclear reactors with fuel to supply my base with just the right amount of steam for the generators, signaling an alarm in case of over utilization.
For a project as widely used as Mediawiki, it completely makes sense to iterate slowly as PHP evolves. New features are a wonderful opportunity in many cases, but without a full understanding of how they may affect a very large code, caution is well warranted.

The "bi erasure" phenomenon is that if a man is bi, many will believe he's just gay but in denial. Because he may prefer to be seen as straight than gay, he may just let everyone think he's straight. This would reduce how many men appear to be bi in surveys.
Yea I know what you mean. Here's an example problems where the input is encrypted by the previous answer: https://codeforces.com/contest/455/problem/D

And of course there are problems that are interactive IO too.

But generally speaking in most problems where treaps/splay trees aren't intended, the time limits are too tight to use them. You can barely hit 10^5 ops/sec using them but that's the typical N and Q for seg tree problems.

A few years ago, I visited the Greenwich Observatory and waited in line for hours to get a photo on the prime meridian. To my surprise, its GPS coordinates were not at 0 degrees longitude. It turns out that while older datums such as NAD27 use the Greenwich meridian, GPS is based on WGS84 which uses the IERS Reference Meridian. It runs through the park about 100 meters away from the observatory (and you can stand on it without waiting in line at all!)
I've not played around with command blocks, but it's a bit more than redstone components.

When Factorio items are wired together with signal cable they have a few different operating modes. You can specify what objects are requested from a delivery network and what items are taken from a chest, or if any are to be taken at all. So this solution involved chests being filled with various items that have a specific color on belts, and then staggering pulls from the chests to place on belts in such a manner as to make pixels.

Those commands were issued by combinations of the constant signal block, the comparison/decider block, and the arithmetic block. I would say those entities are between NAND gates and pre fabricated if/else or for loop constructs.
My buddy told me that the U.S. marines in afghanistan once misplaced one of their fancy encrypted radios (or it might have been one of the keys to their fancy encrypted radio) so all radio communications were suspended until the next scheduled rotation.

> Crypto mining is unique because it is the first thing that requires no infrastructure.

That could not be more wrong. It requires piles of infrastructure: energy generation, transmission, cooling for miners, miners themselves, and so on.

> The entire story that crypto is “taking away” is wrong when it is giving in more cases than not because its the only economical way to mine.

Literally if people stopped wasting a country of power, generating stations would go offline.

> This goes hand in hand with the e-waste fallacy. The hardware doesn't go obsolete if the power costs are low enough, and at the remote power source it is low enough. There is a robust trade of “obsolete” hardware from people that have higher power costs to people that have lower power costs.

Absolutely not a fallacy. People literally throw out old miners and replace them with new miners to get a leg up on their peers. This is the waste. You can't pretend this away. 107 grams worth per transaction.

It's more overhead in the sense that mobx needs to walk all your store objects and check for changes, on top of what React does. Anyway that's fine if you really need that precision. I just useMemo at the 'hotspots' and that is enough. Remember also that if vdom diffing doesn't pick up a change, nothing is flushed out to the DOM, so whether an object is created or long-life doesn't matter in this sense.
But then it has nothing to do with being bi... unless they're secretely bi, in which case it has nothing to do with cheating...
Look, an example with apples:

Jhon is a guy who does not care about the security of his company and does not create backups, suddenly he receives a ransomware attack and all his data is now encrypted, he has no option but to pay the ransom or all his intellectual property will be unusable , so he pays, and since he paid the criminals, he also pays a fine for incentivizing ransomware ... At the end of the day nothing was fixed and the ransomware groups are happier than ever.

In a parallel universe we have an improved system, here it is regulated that all companies have either a backup of their information or a very robust system without back doors. Here Jhon also does not care about the security of his company, then it is discovered that Jhon does not have a backup copy and he is fined, Jhon pays and is forced to improve the security of his company, then he does it, then he receives an attack of ransomware, but Jhon refuses to pay because his company already has better security ... At the end of the day Jhon paid a fine, but the ransomware teams didn't get what they wanted, the problem was fixed here.
To me what makes the AW a luxury product is its something that absolutely no one needs (Except maybe old people). For almost all people buying it, its just a nice to have thing that makes things you could do before a little easier/better.

This is extremely difficult because you need something around your lungs/diaphragm or mouth/nose to accurately measure your breathing rate. Even with precise readings of your pulse, blood pressure, etc... you can’t even remotely calculate your breathing rate.
Please. Being a doctor is boring? It is challenging to be a doctor, and it is almost impossible to cheat through the USMLE (US Medical Licensing Exam) process. It is a 3 step process, which includes four tough exams taken at registered centers, which are actively monitored. I'm saying this as a spouse of a physician who has gone through the journey, and the amount of work they put in through their med school, USMLE, and then residency is unfathomable. Seeing someone put 14 hours of work every day to achieve their goal is not boring, rather a representation of their desire to drive, achieve, and excel. Also, with so many Indian doctors, it says a lot about their grit and hard work.
