> In addition, we also paid out $5,000 for this bounty, even though the main fault that lead to RCE was due to a bug in Electron

You seem to imply that because the bug was in a library that you use as opposed to code your own developers wrote, that it's gracious of you to even pay out $5000 for this bounty. Surely that's not actually what you're saying and I'm merely misunderstanding you? Regardless of who wrote the bug, Discord ships the binary and the impact of the vulnerability remains the same.
The Mac IIci was the first 32 bit clean machine.

Plenty of dynamically typed languages have used the bottom bits in an address to store tags. You have two available on a 32 bit machine, three on 64 bit. The SPARCv7 has instructions that will do arithmetic on tagged values.
When text-transform is used on an element, the copy-pasted text is the original text from the DOM, not the transformed version.

There needs to be a CSS property that makes the visible text selectable and copyable.

I'd expect to see Chess engines that allows settings such that it will chose a move only a human at rank X could chose.

And make easy mistakes a computer could beat, but a human couldn't. Along with randomisations.

Indeed but it depends if those functions are used elsewhere, maybe they don't have to know about that if rule.
The UK's big parties are themselves a collection of factions held together by the inevitability of a two-party system. The ERG and Momentum are the most obvious, each pushing an agenda that, regardless of how much one agrees with it, has been incredibly divisive over the years: hard brexit and 'corbynism' (to avoid connotations of the 'S' word).

These have been big gambles by the major parties, the details and direction of which have mostly been dictated by marketing and in-fighting. Despite having multiple general elections with these as the main issues, the public has only been presented with coarse yes/no choices and false dichotomies.

In a multi-party system (e.g. proportional like STV) I'm pretty sure we'd see ERG as a separate party to Cameron-esque Tories, and Momentum as a separate party to the NewLabour/Starmer side of Labour. I'm not sure who would get the keep the old Labour/Tory names, though.
Space & rocket science research needed some speciality materials research, and led to heart valves replacement materials.
If people are determined to cheat, cheat they will. Bluetooth controlled vibrating butplugs are an off the shelf product at this point; not sure if most scanners will show internal objects.
This does not really cover "repair" at all, but replacing the battery costs ~10€ at my local jeweller, including the battery itself. I can go there, hand over the watch, go to another shop for groceries or something and return after 10 minutes and they're done.

If Apples products are designed that way, there is no reason why it could not be the same (at least for batteries). Watches have usually the same constraints: Water tight, less/no screws, small, intricate.

Of course, lithium batteries are more expensive, but that's it.
> 9:21 PM on July 16, 2020 we received a very detailed report from Masato outlining this exploit.

Did you have time to verify the claims in the bug report in this short window?

When the top 30 100m times all belong to athletes that have been popped for doping with the exception of Usain Bolt you have to ask yourself is he just THAT amazing or is he amazing plus have the best doping team and protection.

You have enormous money and prestige on the line and lots of powerful entities (FIFA, IOC, NFL, countries, athletic wear companies, etc) that don't have a huge incentive to catch their golden boy athletes doping.
The fact that there is an app that downloads privileged code as a normal course of action is already a Remote Code Execution issue to me. Furthermore, the fact that it's only https protected means that any https proxy in between me and the server (say a corporate firewall) can execute random code on my computer. No thanks! And they are just a single hack of their static js hosting away from having all of their active user's computers hacked.

There's a property to represent the budget for a project: https://wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2769 So the triple store is perfectly capable of storing that kind of data. If you don't find what you're looking for, it just means nobody cared enough to add it yet.

I adapted one of the example queries to show the most recent entities with a budget: https://query.wikidata.org/#%23%20All%20items%20with%20a%20p...

Looks like mostly research grants. My guess is that someone wrote an integration to add new research grants to Wikidata as soon as they're published.

I agree Rubocop is heavy handed in the rules it hands down by default, its really useful as a formatter, but we have an internal gem at work which contains a set of less strict rules around things like complexity and method length to try and get away from having to play code golf all the time to keep Rubocop happy.
The black-scholes model for pricing options had a big impact on the financial industry, and the big breakthrough for solving the equation was to realize it could be turned into the heat equation that already had a solution. If I remember well, the insight came to Robert Merton, an economist who had also studied engineering mathematics.

As an aside, I once said to my uncle "there's no way I could drive in India, it's so chaotic". To which he replied "there's no way I could drive in England, there are too many rules"
The exposed PCIe lanes looks like the killer here. I guess you can now do 2.5GBe, NVMe drives, beefier GPUs, and other fun things?
Whilst the idea of a national cycle network is commendable, the current routes include choppy pavements right next to dual carriageways with only a grass verge separating you from 70mph traffic (A64 west of York, for example). This is neither a pleasant experience nor anyone’s idea of a safe cycling route.

Cycling in The Netherlands opened my eyes to how utterly backwards we are in relation to cycling in the UK.

We need behind-the-hedgerow and across-the-fields separated cycle routes where families can get to everywhere they want to go without feeling threatened by idiots in Audis.

If you look in the field of network analysis there’s several camps of researchers, namely: physicists, sociologists, mathematicians and computer scientists all solving the same problems but from different domains with different terms and drawing from different prior work. They all interestingly converge in the sub field of community detection or graph clustering.

In Paris, most restaurants I visited recently have now done away with paper menus due to COVID and instead have QR codes on each table for the menus.

Also Japan, being one of the earliest adopters, is still big on QR codes.

Ditching REST with gRPC-Web and Envoy
To your second and third points, if you have a drill/driver with a torque setting, use that and turn the torque right down before running screws into MDF.

(The torque setting is the numbered collar behind the chuck on your driver, if it has one. It won't be calibrated to anything, but lower numbers mean less torque applied to the fastener before the driver stops turning it.)

A low torque setting vastly reduces the hazard of splitting the MDF, or chewing up the bolt's drive socket, if you're a little careless on the trigger. Then you can hand-finish with a regular driver.

I'd hesitate to use a thread locker on Ikea bolts. They're cheaply made and very mild, so it's hard enough to get them out without stripping the drive as it is; there's no way you're going to break Loctite and not end up needing to grab a bolt head with vise grips. (And that's if you break the Loctite before the drive strips. I wouldn't count on that.) At most, I'd say wait until you know there's a problem with a fastener backing out before you start thinking about gooping it up with something, and even then probably start with something less aggressive than even blue Loctite - a tiny dab of superglue, maybe.

We are extracting Nitrogen from the atmosphere, that isn’t going to run out. Ammonia is made from Nitrogen and Hydrogen, it’s the Hydrogen that’s extracted from natural gas. However, splitting it from water is again effectively unlimited and not that expensive.

Phosphorus is plentiful, current methods give us a 300+ year supply and other options exist. Potassium is a little more questionable we are likely to need to mine the ocean floors fairly soon which would spike prices, but it could ultimately be a closed loop where we are collecting the runoff.
That's not correct. Sweden, which did not restrict healthcare access, and has one of the lowest ICU capacities in Europe, did not see hospital overload or healthcare rationing at any point.

Lockdowns have certainly created a death toll, that is by now mainstream consensus. The debate is about whether it's most of the excess death or only a large chunk of it.

But it's worth remembering that even then excess death numbers are low in absolute terms. A lot of people can't see that because for some reason it's standard for statistical agencies to only give a few years of data in convenient graphs on their websites, but older data is there, and it puts things in proportion. In the UK for example, which has one of the worst excess death rates in Europe, 2020 is so far a bit less deadly than 1999/2000 and the gap is widening [1]. But nothing remarkable happened in the UK in 1999/2000, nobody talks with sadness about those who were lost at the millennium. Nobody noticed anything at all. The idea that we've had some sort of terribly high or remarkable levels of excess death isn't the case: it's being noticed because people were told to expect enormous levels so started tracking the data with a microscope, and then it went up partly due to lockdowns.

In many other countries excess death is even less remarkable than that. Germany and Switzerland have seen years no different to the previous years for example. Cumulative death in Switzerland for 2020 is by now completely average, for example. There was no plague in Switzerland at any point.

> If your adult partner works late a lot, then you should not worry when your adult partner is coming late.

Not worrying is all very well, but imagine the family dinner starts cooking at 6pm, is ready to eat at 6:30pm, and has gone cold by 6:45pm. And imagine this timing works fine 9 days out of 10.

It's reasonable for whoever is doing the cooking to want to know - ideally at 6pm and certainly at 6:30pm - whether their partner is on time, running 5 minutes late, or running an hour late.

> Healthy relationships do not require "ceding authority over own schedule"

People do that all the time - A person who has promised their partner they'll get home by 6:30pm every evening for dinner has ceded control over their schedule. Nothing unusual about that.

> I would seen that as a red flag and sign of controlling personality.

A partner who will have dinner ready when you get home from work doesn't seem like a red flag to me.
I am not sure admiting that there is a bias would make any difference. Its plain to see. I think the fundamental problem is that the bias is the main thing now. It trumps everything, including decency, respect for your fellow citizen or the profession. Activism has become the mission. The people who think this is OK seem to lack the imagination to realize how quickly the BS firehose can turn towards when unencumbered by the facts.
I maybe understand your question - when I lose fitness, I am not aware of lost fitness unless I try to lift a heavy thing again or run distance, at which point it becomes clear. In that vein, I had decent cardio at some point, so that might be part of why the breathing techniques don't really add much to it.

As far as meditation - it's very hard to draw a mental baseline. The only sort-of scientific, sort-of reliable way I know is measuring your working memory.

> compulsory education is built around fundamental denials of volition: the student is denied choice about where they are, what they are doing, and who they are doing it with. With these choices denied, compulsory education shrinks and constrains a student's sense of volition, no matter how progressive it may appear in other ways

True but also misleading. Same as: school should not be about learning, but about learning how to learn. But this is not really compatible with mass education. You simply do not have enough good quality educators to enact this at national level for everybody. In my case, in 16 years of school and college I only encountered 3 such people.

Same is true for doctors for example. On average for minor problems I was more wrongly diagnosed than not. At first I thought that was bad. But after thinking about it some more: depends what you're comparing this with. Fire all those poor quality doctors and let people self diagnose and self medicate? Not a good idea. So doctors on average need only be significantly better than patients with google search to justify their existence.

So in practice the increasingly popular theory "school makes you stupid" (simplified form) does not hold water. Without the admittedly poor compulsory education the situation would be worse. On average home schooling would be a disaster.

I think he sounds considered and authentic, and willing to ask 'dumb' questions on behalf of the audience. He definitely does have opinions... and if I had to sum it up, I would say he's a romantic optimistic. Which is in contrast to his tone but that's really what he puts out.

I like him because of his guests, his outlook and the way he approaches life. I hope you find the time to give him a chance.
On the pricing side, it's worth noting that Board Game Arena offers dozens of popular licensed games with a load of features for €24/year/user, which is a pretty aggresive pricepoint. Maybe something to aim for?

How would this play out? Bug bounties take the charity business model, you disclose everything you know, they get to fixing it and when they're done they may inform you that they'll write you a check.

Disclosure at this point is moot, you'd only look like an ass and probably wouldn't get the check.

What you're describing is more like a darknet marketplace when you describe the vulnerability in the fewest words possible and never giving up code until the Bitcoin deposit is confirmed. I seriously doubt most companies would deal with an individual like this, it's closer to blackmail than it is a bug bounty.

Just want to chime in that I, too, am mystified by the Ikea hate. I've spent all of my 30+ years living with Ikea furniture. I'm writing this from an Ikea kitchen cart that has become my primary workspace. I remodeled my kitchen last fall with Ikea cabinets -- and was able to do almost the entire installation myself.

I've never had a serious problem with anything from them. The same cannot be said most of the furniture we've gotten from other places. The expensive, fancy-shmancy reclaimed wood dresser and nightstand my wife bought from some other chic retailer has been repaired about 4000 times.
The problem isn't us running out of nitrogen, the problem is the impact that nitrogen deposition has on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

I have 19 Ivar units, with about 4 - 6 shelves each that have lasted for years (15 in a prior location, 6 here). They are in good shape, show no sign of bowing / slumping. They are made from recycled wood that has been glued to make the uprights and shelves. If you are willing to "toss the pile" you can find shelves that are free of major knots and will look nice.

My workbench is a drop leaf table (only drops on one end h that was designed for a kitchen table. Solid as a rock and solid pine.

My only regret is not buying more of the wide drawers that were available in the early 2000'. It's hard to find ones that fit exactly in the Ivar units.
Ah, that explains it. Thanks!
Apple was luxury in the UK until the iMac. I remember looking at the Beige G3 hardware and it being 3 or more times more expensive than my beige no name PC. My first Mac was a 6100 years after it was obsolete. I wanted to play with Macs, but they were stupidly expensive at the time.
Yeah, I’m not saying I buy it. It’s a very bizarre situation.
Honestly the biggest bummer about the cost is that it makes the content less accessible to many, and I’m unaware of any cheaper options of the same quality.
If only they had a eMMC socket instead - would cut down on production costs for the various models, help suppliers who would have less flavours to stock and add flexability to change the eMMC memory, or not.

32 flavours/models seems like choice-saturation. If they still make all 32 flavours a year from now, I'll be supprised.
