Once upon a time this issue was resolved by not really ever actually deleting anything - just soft-deleting it and moving it off into an archive somewhere from whence it could be restored... unfortunately not-really-deleted stuff was insanely abused by marketing so that consumers no longer trust it and it's become illegal to retain this information after an account closure in some jurisdictions - so now we can't have nice things.

Pfahahahahahaha.

More seriously, my understanding is that Zoom uses automatic updates, so it can never be secure even in the unlikely event the code that's on your machine this week actually does correctly implement end-to-end encryption. Also, if you're trusting Zoom's servers to give you the encryption keys you have a MitM attack waiting to happen.
I feel the same way about Moodle as you do about DocuWIki...

it's brittle, and the updates aren't semvar-- a minor verions upgrade could ereally hose you.

But with WP, the WP 5.5 thing where they killed the automatic jQuery migrate inclusion was about the only time in the last year or so when I was caused serious problems by an update (for context, I manage around 500 WP installs for gov/large businesses and a univeristy).

There was a pretty bad security issue with a popular file manager plugin, but we council folks to stay away from those solutions anyhow.

I feel like in general the ecosystem has gotten a lot better about the update system.
Thanks. I just saw the link that was added to this thread and read the HN discussion from after the announcement.
Type I superconductors (the ones people understand) happen because electrons pair up.

The equal charges participate on the problem, but do not stop the electrons from pairing up. There is a lot of virtual particle exchange between them, but that's how forces happen. It's more correct to say that the crystal mechanically constrains the electrons into pairs than that the electrons pair with virtual particles.

(IANAP, but this one topic I have studies a little.)
The EWJ2 track is unfortunately not FM synth, it's CD audio from the PC/Playstation/Saturn version. Not sure what it's doing in that playlist.
For me the biggest quality of life improvement has been moving to a less populated area with clean air, clean water and access to good organic food, forget what country that is in, that only matters in which the local government either degrades or improves upon those basic things.

This is why I probably won't move to Asia, it's just too polluted. Or why I won't move back to a big city.
It's surely debatable, but Valve's $999 outside-in (lighthouse) wired unit is about two generations behind the Quest 2 (closer to the Rift).

I believe $300 inside-out tracking wireless headsets are much more likely to push VR out of the "trough of disillusionment" and into the mainstream.
Maybe Jack is running the scam as a hobby and doesnt want to kill nice side hobby to stack sats.
There's a good chance Netflix is behaving rationally.

Shows are like startups. The payoff is a very skewed distribution, i.e. median and mean are vastly different. After one season, I'd argue you have a pretty good estimate of the earning potential for a show. Maybe you're even off by a factor of two or three, but since the goal is to find a show with 10x or 100x the viewership, you're better off canceling a show with median success.

Actually it's probably a lot easier to predict the payoff for a show after one year, than for a startup. Startups can take multiple years to find product-market fit; shows rarely pivot dramatically.

[Update: I got the facts wrong with the following example, as someone nicely pointed out below! I think the general principle still stands.] Tuca & Bertie, for example, was canceled after one season, but the same people went on to make Bojack Horseman, which was a much bigger hit. Bojack would not have happened if Tuca were renewed, and Tuca would never have gotten as popular as Bojack.
This, on top of songs disappearing from my playlists, rendered unavailable.

Tesla isn't the only EV manufacturer.
Methane’s impact is really overblown. It’s got an atmospheric half life of ~7 years and rapidly turns into CO2. Hydroelectric’s steady state is therefore already baked into the current climate and future releases are equivalent to about ~285 million metric tons of CO2. (The difference is due to CH4 being heavier than CO2.)

Except the carbon in that methane comes the atmosphere so the the long term global warming impact of existing dams is approximately zero.

Now increasing methane production can have an impact, but it just doesn’t stack linearly like CO2 does.
We are failing to sufficiently fund longevity research, and the basic science and engineering needed to enable it.

We are spending a ton of money on healthcare (analogous to the trains), and almost nothing on the root cause of most of these health problems.

The reason the fable is effective is that it frames aging as an adversary, which makes it much easier to understand the necessity of spending resources to defeat it.

Bostrom would say that your concern that aging and cancer are intertwined is akin to a scientist seeing that the scale is impenetrable to all known materials, and then giving up.

Somehow, whales live hundreds of years, and trees live thousands. What's different about their biology that accounts for this? Why aren't their bodies wracked with cancer?

When you increase pressure aren't you also increasing temp? So even though the ambient temp may be 59 isn't the localized temp where the atoms are being crushed super high? Which is also the opposite of how i thought superconductors work, i.e. the liquid nitrogen dumped on the superconducting semiconductor experiment that phys. prof's love to do.
We've had problems installing offshore wind in the US as the wealthy people who live on the coasts generally don't like to look at the turbines in their ocean views. Hopefully something like this has a better chance of succeeding if they are further off the coast.

Right, yeah, I understand it's not a patient driven decision. I'm asking because my brother in law is diagnosed mentally ill, frequently homeless, frequently placed on 5150 holds, frequently arrested for crimes, including at least once or twice being popped, at least initially, for class 4 felonies. He's got arrest warrants in Arizona and Nevada from skipping bail. He is, seemingly, permanently stuck in the county level system between SD, Orange, and LA counties, and it _does not work_.

> Almost all of the state mental hospitals are for criminal patients.

Is this a specific legal thing, like criminally insane?

> AFAIK only one is open to non-offender patients and they only take referrals.

I wasn't aware there was the possibility of referrals. We'll look into this the next time it comes around...

I think there's a mistake here since crypto is not mined with average electricity. Nobody (at least not at scale) just puts a mining rig in an apartment in the middle of San Francisco. It's mined where it's cheap, so using average residential energy price is hugely misleading. That's like estimating the cost of making a car by summing up the prices of parts and labor at the car dealerships - that's not how the parts are actually procured when making a car!
You've got your timeline reversed, Bojack predated Tuca & Bertie by years.
Why can't the free version of Vault be used in production?
I had a similar experience with Facebook and a business-related thing last summer.

The company I'm working for has a Facebook account that is more or less "broken" — managed by email addresses that no longer work for the company, unmanaged profile page, etc. I also don’t have a personal Facebook account, so I went ahead and created one and then started to clean up the mess.

Immediately my account was deactivated. I went through a process of offering a phone number and countless CAPTCHA's, which would result in my account being reactivated but then deactivated again upon the next login. Eventually I got the "We have already reviewed this decision and it can't be reversed" ban-hammer.

I'm sort of beyond outrage or even annoyance at this point… it's all just kind of funny and stupid. When I try to figure out a way out of this pickle, the best idea I can come up with is making a bot that logs in to Facebook, wanders around "Liking" q-anon posts, and then I'd have an account that Facebook would accept as a real human being for when I need to get actual work done with their platform.
You would point the application at the local port. It operates very similarly to SSH port forwarding. No fancy magic to intercept all traffic.
Agreed. My favorite series of all time is the original, British version of The Office. While I believe it also did not have a planned, proper ending, it was only a few seasons.

I never enjoyed the US version as much and lost interest after a few seasons.

Despite incredible earlier seasons, have also failed to finish many others, including 24, House of Cards, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, etc. Just end it!
We just made it build, which needed a bit of hacking in Qt, and then some hacking in Krita, but it was doable within the scope of a Google Summer of Code. Of course, the devil is in the details, and that's what Sharaf is working on now.
I can see how that works for an internal network. How does this work for SaaS solutions that would normally be directly on the internet? Would they have to be "shielded" to be on a private network and somehow be "Boundary enabled"?

And could this be done in a way that is completely transparent to the user (without them having to start a connection to the worker first, and then make a connection to the desired service)?
Hmm. Netflix may be shooting themselves in the foot a bit here, but frankly I much prefer "too many series are cancelled before hitting their stride" where the shortsighted decision is being made based only on viewership and budget, than the previous situation where cancelled shows never developed an audience due to being broadcast in a bad time slot, or because they were repeatedly bumped from their time slot[0] (eg. by sporting events going into overtime) with missed episodes never repeated, or by episodes being shown out of order[1].

At least now shows are cancelled based on their intrinsic viewership. Short-sighted cancelations are still an unfortunate problem, but this is still a huge improvement over the previous status quo.

A bit more concerning to me is that Netflix's "throw the spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks" approach is starting to lean a bit more in the direction of "same but different" clones of other shows with a twist to the setup, even for shows based on existing properties.

But, so it goes.

Don't know why you were downvoted because you're correct. There are some teachers that, for one reason or another, were hit very hard over their years of teaching and have become hardened old coots whose only pleasure comes from limiting others.
I think the reason is that these kinds of techniques are as old as nails. There's steady development but it's natural that there won't be as much excitement as for a fast growing (read: exploding) field as neural nets.
Jonanin, what is your name? Where do you live? What is your current street address? Where do your parents live, and what is their phone number? How about your kids?

I’m asking rhetorically. All this info and more is available to anyone with a full name and photograph via people-finder sites like Spokeo and SocialCatfish, which is exactly what Facebook accounts with a “real name policy” expose to the world. Using this info, any anonymous troll who you tick off in a VR game can send a SWAT team to your house, or tie up your phone lines, or harass your family and employer, or attempt to do you real physical harm. The Internet creates an extreme asymmetry of power between the abuser and the abused, and there are lots of unstable abusers out there with nothing more exciting to do than make your life hell.

The Mark Zuckerbergs and Larry Pages of the world live in gated communities with many layers of people between them and the world, so they don’t care about any of this.

I think you're losing sight of the argument. People know Facebook and Google don't take customer service seriously, but then seem amazed when they have a problem and Google and Facebook won't solve it. Meanwhile, one side says that these problems could be fixed if big companies wanted to spend some money on it, and others who say it's not a problem because it hasn't inconvenienced them yet.
One change I implore Facebook/Oculus to make in light of the Facebook account requirement for these devices: Allow enabling of dev mode and APK sideloading, offline, from within the device settings without the dev account requirement. That way these devices can be more than just bricks for people who get locked out by the system.

I wonder if there are any statistics around e-waste for devices that are "bricked" due to an account lockout.
This only works on small code bases. With anything large you're going to need to mock or fake your own code if you don't want to spend countless unnecessary hours running your tests and finding root causes of failed tests.

Yes, integration tests are important too, but you'll want to minimize the number of scenarios you still need to test at that level.

No, pressure is independent of temperature.

If you take a gas as an example:
When you compress a gas, temperature increases, but you can cool it down again while maintaining pressure.

(And then when you release the pressure it gets even cooler, that’s how a fridge works.)
The approach I shared worked really well for the use case I had (API, read-heavy traffic load, and a solid experience in the mobile apps with retry logic for failed writes), but I certainly wouldn't treat it as a silver bullet.

I would want to test the end-user experience before using it in another app, especially one with very different usage patterns, but for this case it ended up being a great optimization between simplicity and robustness.

No, that's what you're doing. Just because some men don't like dancing, no men should get the opportunity to do so? And because some women like to dance, it has to be a staple of the female version of the sport?

If it's actually about dancing, then make it a dancing event that men and women can compete in. Tons of men dance competitively. But not in gymnastics. Which actually makes sense, since it's gymnastics, not dancing. But then why are the women's events about dancing?
Honeypots: Good servers in dark alleys can be an enterprise asset
Yeah, I tend to be more in the difference in degree camp, with the caveat that it's pretty clear we're at least a few discoveries of structural mechanics away from mimicking human-style learning. We need to make advances in semi-supervised learning, as well as increasing sample efficiency, and reducing catastrophic forgetting. But my intuition says that the solutions will be pretty simple, and seem obvious in hindsight.

But I'm also guessing we'll come up with an endless number of complex tweaks to get the current stuff closer before someone figures out the simple mechanics and sweeps most of that away.

>The US is far behind, and though there are a few plans on the US Atlantic coast

the UK is smaller than the state of Michigan, so it naturally follows they would seek to expand their wind turbines to the sea. Its doubtful that a nation the size of the US would ever commit turbines to sea when theyre already generating 105 gigawatts across the nations expansive stretch. conversely, the UK's most ambitious goal is a paltry 40 gigawatts.

neither country is "ahead" or "behind" the other. The opportunities, requirements, costs, and other variables are simply different.

Your experience in the medical field might give you a head start into software development more than you think. There are companies that build medical devices, data gathering for pharma trials, and lots of health care IT companies including insurance. A large part about learning curve for someone is the business domain.

I don't think it is possible to make macros look like the host language without homoiconicity.

However the proposal has this in the rationale section:

> Python is both expressive and easy to learn; it is widely recognized as the easiest to learn widely-used programming language. However, it is not the most flexible. That title belongs to lisp.

If the main purpose of the proposal is to make Python "flexible" like Lisp why not go the extra mile and add lisp syntax as well (like hy)? That will solve the problem of macros and flexibility.
It's not a cop-out, it's a summary of the facts, as opposed to your claims that "many" voters wait in lines like the ones shown in the article and the random picture you found.

Like many of the individuals quoted in the BBC article, you know nothing about how voting in the US works and don't understand why people are choosing to stand in these lines right now, weeks before the actual election day and before all early voting locations are even open in many areas, but are very eager to make condescending comments.

Thanks for confirming my suspicion that you have no interest in a discussion about anything other than your inaccurate, preconceived notions.

People who are desperate are easier to scam because they 'want to believe.' They're looking for miracles because they think that's all they could hope for. I think it's less a matter of crypto people being gullible and more a matter of desperate people being gullible and consequently becoming crypto people. Organized religions often target the same demographic for the same reason. Born-again preachers love reaching out to broken junkies and alcoholics.
Yup. There was a version a few months ago that broke things but that got fixed after a few weeks.
