I'm continually reminded that a HN "HUGE!!" security issue is so rarely that.

I can think of so many more much more significant security issue, from remote root access to windows machines, potentially intentionally flawed VPN security, TPM on intel machines that are remotely exploitable and provide persistent access to machine and the list goes on and on.

There is something about Apple that makes folks blow up. Perhaps it's just they are one of the few with a bit of a reasonable reputation here.

Steal someone's phone? You realize iphones since Xs forward are using A12+ chips, they don't even have the intel / T2 combo being talked about as far as I know. And then to get access you need to install a keylogger PHYSCIALLY into the macbook. All this is "possible", but you can probably do a keylogger without breaking T2 and get equivalent access at the end of the day.

Love the concept. I find it nearly impossible to buy products that are made well and intended to last longer than a year. Any plans to lead a movement, because I’m in.
It's a good idea to assume that if physical access is compromised, you are screwed. This just confirms this continues to be the case.

Even without this, many people could be owned just by installing a key logger on their external keyboard which would likely be easier to access and hack than the T2/ laptop.

I really hate these cheesy lines that are "excellent" according to the article, like:

- "You had enough fluff marketing content and so did we. So the absofreakinlutely BEST thing you could do right now..."

- "Writing this from my couch at home, hoping to find you safe and well at yours. It's been a busy summer! I wanted to share more about out 2.9 release..."

No, just no. Leave me alone, we aren't friends, you did not write this to me personally. When I read such text I am mentally bracing myself and putting up my defenses because we are at war. You are fighting in the arms race in the attention economy at my expense. This kind of email is like mimicry in the animal kingdom. You are faking the appearance of a mail from a friend when it's a business. It's nasty, parasitic and off-putting.

But maybe it's a cultural difference. Perhaps American culture is more receptive to this. But in most European cultures politeness requires a certain distance and being overly enthusiastically friendly makes us immediately think you are a scammer (in real life too). So pay attention to local cultural customs because these kinds of fake-cheerful-friendly-informal mails don't work everywhere.

Ah, it shells out to ffmpeg. I was hoping it would handle the conversion itself, just for technical reading. It should still be a good model for any similar task, though.
I don't know I've always found this line of thinking bullshit.

First the only thing you will eperience is your own life. The only things that should "matter" by definition is the thing you can have influence on and will be important for your life. Why something you can't have influence on (space) should matter in how I make decisions ?

I agree with the general, bigger line to not get too much stress about random stuff, but in that case I prefer the line of thinking that short term problem are usually meaning less compared to the duration of of your life, than trying to justify it by the fact that "a universe exists".

Sorry for the use of "bullshit" if you're the kind to be offended by that

I think that actually strengthens my analogy (and was really my point).

A Lamborghini is full of flashy, pie-in-the-sky engineering that often ignores practicality in favour of flash and performance. On paper, it's a beautiful machine, but much like in the case of FireWire, it doesn't meet eye to eye with the real world around it.

The Toyota is less ambitious, more constrained by reality, and while it certainly doesn't match the on-paper specs of the Lamborghini, it is in every way more practical and viable as a system.

I would consider the Toyota to be the better engineered of the two when looking at them as cars and not as toys, even though it lacks the technical wow factor.

Related gripe: The University of Michigan's fight song calls them "the champions of the west".

But the name of the conference didn't make sense, because California already was a state.

I'm in support of things like this, but I also feel like maximizing durability is too simplistic.

When I'm looking to purchase something, the concerns are usually something like.

1. Minimizing the shared cost of throwing the thing away.

2. Maximizing durability.

3. Maximizing the actual efficacy of the thing.

4. Maximizing worker benefit - economical and political.

5. Minimizing animal suffering.

Not everyone is going to have the same mix of goals or order of goals and many have just one overriding goal: Minimizing up-front consumer cost.

So, for example, a "smart-fiber" shirt might be far more durable than a 100% cotton shirt, the throw-away cost is much higher so I'll pass. I'm not saying your site should account for this, but things are complicated, especially among conscious consumers which is an increasingly niche market anyway due to both preference and circumstance.

Edit: Oh I should also add somewhere in there

#. Maximizing ease of repair/cleaning.

When to use Google’s Bazel build tool (with Remote Execution)
It isn’t actually that complicated. The kafka client abstracts away the complexity of tracking offsets. You fetch batches of messages through the kafka client in a loop, process them one by one, and commit the batch’s offset if everything went well. If something goed wrong, after restarting the consumer the kafka client will make sure it gets offered the same batch again. So you’re in an at least once scenario where as long as you process messages in an idempotent way and skip the bad ones it is basically foolproof.
This is so dependent on the system of coordinates that it is not even wrong.
I used to have a cordless Craftsman drill/light set that I loved, then the batteries inevitably died. I shrugged off cordless tools for years, but recently went back. With Li-ions, it seems that the battery packs should be easily rebuildable.

I've got too many corded tools, so my decision isn't generally choosing between cordless or corded, but rather deciding whether adding a cordless version will help me. My metric is that cordless tools are useful for short jobs where reducing the setup time helps (eg pick up a driver and use it). Corded tools take less maintenance and are adequate for jobs where you're already setting up a work area... which is most things involving a jigsaw. Not having to manage the cord during long cuts would be nice, but doesn't seem like it would make any task significantly easier. Then again if I didn't already have 2+ jigsaws I'd probably feel different.

> it was running on USB2 and didn't have the bandwidth to send the video at 30fps.

Mmm, I am surprised about that because USB 2.0 is fully capable of 1080p60 without issues. I have Logitech C910 and it does 1080p60 flawlessly. I wonder if it is not actually 2.0 but USB 1.1 which made sense since the transfer rate is abysmally low (1.1 does up to 12 Mbps, 2.0 is up to 480 Mbps).

But again, computers does have their quirks and can do weird & strange things that seem impossible but it is possible.

I knew of pcpartpicker but had never realized it had a country dropdown that allowed searching for ecommerce sites not in the US. I did find a few ones I hadn't seen before but it seems that none that have the same range as Amazon. So I'd still end up having to order from several places and dealing with different postage costs, return policies, etc. Amazon has the advantage of setting that baseline for a very wide range of products, which removes a lot of friction from the experience. Newegg could probably gain a lot more business if it had a competitive offer with EU shipping, like it does in the US.

> Stainless steel frying pan instead of nonstick frying pans where the non stick coating wears off. Cast iron even better.

They're called nonstick for a reason; stainless steel does not compare. You'll have more sticking problems cooking eggs on a steel pan drowning in butter than on a (new) nonstick pan with minimal grease.

I do own an 18th-century cast iron pan and it has pretty good seasoning. I use it for many things, almost daily, but I'm still glad I own nonstick pans too.

Wait. How did you turn the book? Right-to-left? Well, that's why its 'backward'. Try it again, but this time flip the book vertically to face the mirror. Now the test is not flipped right-to-left, but top-to-bottom.

It's nothing to do with 'physics'. Its just perception.

Overengineering for cooling is always a good idea for these kinds of devices.

Natural "extension" of the OPT program is the H1B... It's even in the rules, where your "OPT visa" (F-1) is on purpose not dual intent - you need H1B if you want to apply for a green card. And that's how most students do it:
F1 -> OPT (w/ extension if able) -> H1B -> GC

Increasing the H1B threshold makes the next step very expensive, and it will cause more companies to be unwilling to hire w/OPT, therefore reducing the attractiveness of top US schools to the best candidates.

Many countries (that I am familiar with) have a very straightforward path to residency after completing education in the country. US makes it on purpose very difficult. And one problem is, in the eyes of the "system", a degree from Stanford/Harvard/MIT is equivalent to a degree from any other school capable of issuing the "same" degree.

It's a misleading way of measuring poverty. In fact, it is irrelevant how many units of currency you earn, as long as your units of currency cover your basic needs plus a bit.

Sixty units of currency are a lot of money when rent costs you ten and bread costs you one.

In Bulgaria, most things are half the price. Food and rent are damn cheap for someone who earns money in euros.

They earn half as many units of currency compared to people where I live. That's an amount of currency with which I could never live where I live now, but there it would last.

IPFS is a decentralized network protocol, a content-based addressing system. Filecoin is decentralized file storage, incentivized by cryptoeconomics. On their own, neither IPFS nor Filecoin have the same goals as Vapor. It seems as though Vapor's intended purpose is to use off-chain Bitcoin transactions to transmit HTTP requests to normal APIs. The primary benefits being (optional) payments and identity.
Interesting study... I found this to be really surprising:

"In a web browsing test, 5G only reduced page loading times (PLT) by about 5% compared to 4G. This is because most of the time goes into rendering, i.e., is compute-bound. Even if we just compare download times, 5G only shows a 20.68% improvement over 4G."

Your filevault password has not been compromised by any T2 issue.

If you are such a valuable target, then the key logger needed to get your credentials can be installed T2 or without T2 issues. Once "they" have that they can decrypt your drive.

The number of folks who are targeted at this level with physical direct access is relatively small. Even for state actors, REMOTE compromise is MUCH more appealing.
Yes, the conventional pattern seems to be a short email confirming your address and your intention to sign up, followed by the longer “onboarding” email after you confirm.

I know rust is trending, but this is becoming somewhat silly. This is a command line argument wrapper for ffmpeg...

Not to mention that when you know that, the title becomes highly misleading. There is absolutely not a single line of rust code that does anything that the title suggests.

But, neither are binary conversion of audio formats. That is ffmpeg doing the heavy lifting.
