Winning 50NL poker player (US) here. That's basically as good as you're gonna get without spending a ton of time. I've probably played somewhere around 3k hours of poker, with about 1k hours live and 2k online.

You will be a top 20% poker player if you can do two things right. 1) Play the hands you should preflop. This is the poker equivalent of learning blackjack strategy. "Starting hand ranges poker" will start you down that rabbit hole. 2) Figure out pot odds. If you have a straight draw, how often will it hit and is that worth calling a bet? That takes a bit of math that seems hard at first, but gets a lot easier as you start to cache common scenarios. Google "Pot odds poker" to go down that rabbit hole. Review interesting hands and share them online. twoplustwo is the "main" poker forum. Good luck!

Twitter names famed hacker 'Mudge' as head of security
Damn, that sounds frustrating :/
The problem of deniability and "disavowing keys" is subjective and requires technical skill to understand,
that average person will not find this "equalization of legit and forged data" intuitive and will believe that keys/signatures/encryption on content adds authenticity on equal level with "legit data" - instead of "repudiation" you have a 'weak proof of authenticity' that could be disproved later(the burden of proof shift here is important psychologically since keys/encryption are perceived as legitimizing content).
How to Build Secure Software in an Agile World
>Turchin blames an ‘over-production of elites’ for impending unrest, yet it is not so much that all college grads aspire to elite positions but rather seek the higher wages and nicer lifestyle that a college degree bestows. And as long as the college wage premium keep widening, we should expect more college grads and higher tuition costs. If the premium was to suddenly contract, then college enrolment would fall and there would be fewer production of these elites.

This seems like a bit of a strawman to me. College graduates aren't the elite in that sense, college grass are just skilled labourers, the vast majority of them don't have any expectation of power that characterizes the elites in the elite overproduction theory. The elites in that sense are politicians, the managerial class, the executive class, lawyers and so on.

Indeed, there is no reason why a country where everyone has a biochemistry degree would suffer from an issue where everyone feels like they are owed significant political(economic too, in a sense) power, but overproducing politicians, executives, and managers, could lead to those issues.

Also, even if competitors to the US didn't have imperial ambitions, it doesn't follow that they wouldn't act against the imperial ambitions of America.

The author also says that revolutions are generally against two groups in a homogenous ethnic supergroup, and gives the example of Iran. This is, of course, absurd - Iran is an insanely multiethnic country by world standards with dozens of ethnic groups. And yet, the Iranian revolution still pushed through, because the issues were such that the camps were able to form despite ethnic differences amongst them. This goes directly against the point.
To me this indicates a failure in the healthcare system--- a much more important problem to fix.
This sounds like a Law&Order mindset. No, its generally not a great idea to get fingerprints of everything.
This is for an observer following a trajectory in space time. So for an observer covering a distance at light speed the time interval is zero. For other observers on different trajectories, such as stationary in the space coordinates, that will not be the case.
I hope it's that easy! Until about 3-4 weeks ago, I'd rarely used Twitter for professional purposes.

It can be a bit intimidating at first to put yourself out there. And there's certainly strategy required to use it well.

But I think consistency is the name of the game to be successful with it. We'll see!
I actually wouldn't recommend clean installing every single year (unless you're running betas). But for the person with the 2015 MacBook Pro, 5 years later is a good time to clean install.
But the back testing is useless because you can just have a lot of models and cherry pick all those models which happen to match historical data. Then each year some of those models are proven wrong and the attention shifts towards models which happened to get it right... And new models are invented constantly. If you have enough models and companies working on them, you will always find a few which just happen to have guessed all the numbers correctly. It's like lottery. Out of millions of people, some people will get all the numbers right.
It seems like you need a strong hypothesis for growth and a strong hypothesis for customer acquisition. It seems like knowing what you're going to build can help drive how you will distribute, and but vice versa seems less obvious.

It is a situation where both are required (`&`).

Good luck with the projects!
My problem isn't that people have divided opinions on this. My problem is that people who oppose it write as if they're just now discovering that the opposite opinion exists --- in one case on this thread, someone suggested that the only reason Matthew Green held this opinion at all was political.

A serious argument against deniable messaging would start by acknowledging deniability as one of the shibboleths of the field of messaging cryptography, and then tackle the idea. Nobody on this thread has done that, and I think the reason why is that they're simply not aware that there is such a field.

Just because people drive like A-holes around me when I'm riding my bicycle on the road doesn't mean that I should try to get the government to take away their cars by force. Or to force them to never go over the speed limit. Or to force them to only drive smaller cars with better visibility out the windows. Sure it would be nice if people did all these things. But I don't think it's right to force any of it. I'm sorry about your wife - that would be really scary and suck. I hope that both of you are able to stay safe and healthy.
They never really explain anything or offer any basic advice (like cutting out alcohol to reduce suppression of your immune system). They just bark orders (wear a mask! cancel thanksgiving!) and call anyone who questions it "anti-science".

Just pointing out that it's typical for tech companies to employ dark pattern for monetization in instances where they are providing no value. Playing wack-a-mole won't help and we probably need some sort of legislation to prove value is being provided before being charged.

(BTW I don't believe paying Google to prevent being above me is value ad. The intention of the searcher is known)

Another example is how Google charges an app creator 30% if someone purchases a subscription. A charge that occurs every, single, month despite Google providing no value after the first month. What's an app owner to do? Push for Apple store...where also take 30% cut?

I had a double take when I saw your comment and looked back at the graph as well. I've asked the author to describe the reasons behind it, if there are any.
You don't necessarily have to hack the provider. You can hack the user's laptop and siphon the data out of their email client. If they use a web client, you can read the files it caches. Or maybe you can set up IMAP and have your malware read a copy of everything. To the email provider, all of this just looks like the user is reading their email.

The galactic center roughly aligns with the constellation Sagittarius, which is considered a southern constellation.

If you try to do milky way astrophotography in the northern hemisphere you quickly find out you are limited to the late spring / early summer, because you want to be seeing the southern sky at night. Most of the year the sun is too close to Sagittarius during daylight hours, making viewing impossible.
I second that. It's oddly under-advertised and not installed by default, but it works amazingly well. However, I still pay Ferral for their full ports to support the effort (most recently Shadow of the Tomb Raider).
> should have decreased due to lockdowns and hygiene awareness

Point is, Sweden arguably opted for none of this.
The PF (BSD Packet Filter) firewall built into Mac OS covers apple processes. However, I don't think its interfaces are sufficient to implement the functionality of Little Snitch. The new-ish NEFilterDataProvider API used by Little Snitch on Big Sur is neutered by allowing Apple apps to bypass it.
Sweden had no lockdowns.
Yep. My 2015 Macbook (personal, not the one I use for coding) is still running 10.12.

I don't really want to update it, but am going to have to, as it no longer receives security updates from Apple, as you say won't run latest XCode, which also homebrew complains about and says it can't support my OS, and increasingly software I want to install won't cause the OS is too old.

But there are zero features of an OS update i want. I am terrified of what's going to happen when I update.

However, i still far prefer MacOS UX to Windows, myself. I just a quite fine with it on 10.12.

And my 2015 Macbook is still running fine, by the way, have no need of an upgrade for more CPU or RAM or anything like that.

It just works. Every time. It’s gotta be one of the most unappreciated tools out there right now.
> Every time I try just 400 IU per day for a week it makes me dizzy and woozy.

I guarantee that you're consuming more than 400IU of Vitamin D in your regular diet. You can consume almost double that amount just by eating a decent sized salmon filet.

I doubt the miniscule amount of Vitamin D (10 micrograms) in your supplement is causing your problems. It's possible that you're allergic to the capsules themselves, or fillers, or something unique to the supplements.

> I eat plenty of meat and veggies with K2, and nuts and fish with magnesium. Vitamin-D containing foods like milk, eggs and fish are totally fine. I can bake all day in the sun and don't burn easily.

If you're getting plenty of Vitamin D from diet and sunlight, you don't need to supplement. I know the popular sentiment will beat the drum of "more is better", but it's not true. The goal is to get Vitamin D levels into an optimal range and keep them there, which, despite internet opinion, is entirely possible on a healthy diet with light sun exposure.
>Steam keys anyway, so you're still stuck with a licence to play a game

Not true, you can download your game AND download the key for steam (hint...the AND here is important)

I do like a good stack breakdown.

If you ever wanted to hop on my podcast to talk more about your stack in detail, I'd love to have you on.

It's at: https://runninginproduction.com/

Each episode focuses on talking to different folks about how they build and deploy their web apps. There's 50+ episodes so far and hopefully hundreds more to come.
That website's owners already abandoned the project under suspicious pretenses of "unity".
Current events prove otherwise. See Hunter Biden.

As I understand it, DMCA claim fraud requires legally proving bad faith, which is a quite high bar to clear.

There are no provisions for negligence (which is what most of these claims probably amount to - you could even make a good argument for depraved indifference, but there are no provisions for that either) or mistakes, it has to be intentionally fraudulent. Even if it was a completely BS takedown, you're left with proving malice rather than error.
Why does Apple push new macOS releases via Software Update on Day 1?

It should have been on the App Store until 1-2 updates in (so enthusiasts can install it) and pushed to Software Update after then so issues are ironed out.

I'm definitely planning on getting the vaccine, but I'd really feel better with it being out in the field for longer. Especially with this type of vaccine (mRNA).
I am not sure if it is a good idea to ask here, but I am going to anyways(thank you, throwaways!): What about psychedelics and spirituality? I have read about it but no first hand experience. Any insights to share...it would be interesting and enjoyable to read.
Yes. I have seen first hand where it was used to help accelerate out of court agreement without needing a lawsuit. Basically a 3rd party had one of their outlook user accounts compromised by a bad actor who used it to tell another company new instructions for something.

The 3rd party tried to say other company fell for a phishing email and it was their fault but because of DKIM it was immediately provable that instead 3rd party was compromised and email legit sent from their o365 and they were pretending like they didn't know this. This all got disputed maybe a year after email sent.

Love Matthew Green but I personally am not a fan of this proposal. It doesn't fully achieve what he wants bc its only gmail and timing of compromise would be key. Most of the email hacks have actually been very much in the public interest despite being unethical. Breaches also lead to more productive work by companies in better securing accounts and better protecting sensitive information which google has been doing with account security and adding expiring messages.

Like do we really want companies to just continue sloppily sending customer info in email bc they can deny its legit or should they focus on not getting this info compromised to begin with?

Also, for ransomeware groups that now post data when not paid, it is not really seeming like too big of a disincentive that there is repudiation regarding the files they post.
That's "marketing" not distribution. But maybe your term sounds cooler...

Thinking of open source development, some of this is implied, by platforms like github, and ideas like "release early, release often". So developers are dependent on this promtion/distribution platform, without even realizing they have one.
> 1% chance of lasting side-effects from Covid.

Source?

But even if it were "only" 1%, that is still a pretty easy bar to clear for vaccines.
> Whatever the term that means “If you don’t pay us, bad things will happen.”

That would be extortion.

To shorten Popehat's explanation of RICO more fundamentally, RICO requires several elements to all apply to kick in. It is not mere extortion (plus other racketeering crimes). It is also not extortion repeated over several times. Instead, it is the repeated extortion by the defendant in the service of the distinct enterprise.

Stepping back out again, if you're arguing that a company's actions mean it violates RICO, you're almost certainly screwed because the defendant you're suing is the company, and the relevant enterprise is, uh, the company again, which causes the suit to fail.

So, no, it's not RICO because the defendant is Yelp and the enterprise is Yelp, and the defendant cannot be the enterprise.

Start by reading the first sentence of my comment.
My apologies I really didn’t explain myself very well at all. That was quite confusing. This formula represents a trajectory in spacetime with respect to some frame of reference of an observer. As with any trajectory it has space and time components.

The x, y, z deltas are your displacement through space in those dimensions relative to some frame of reference (of an observer, presumably) and t is the time component. If the space deltas are all zero then you are at rest relative to that inertial frame. You are not accelerating or moving and your motion through the time dimension in unit time, according to this formula, is C. This is odd because C is normally thought of as a motion through space, but in this case your not moving through space (in the reference frame).
I see that, but you don't talk about this - your main point - in the case studies, at all. Of course it's difficult to, since they don't discuss it and so you have to infer it, but if it's your main point, you probably do need to mention it in the case study.

Your heading "My side projects always fail" makes me think the problem is getting initial adoption (not going from small adoption to huge adoption). The network effects of those three examples don't kick in until after some adoption.

I like the idea of considering not just the product or the market, but also how you to reach that market. It can change your choice of which idea to pursue in the first place. Really, to evaluate as a business idea, not just as a product idea
I applaud your success. To me it seems that by putting distribution first, or focusing on problems to solve, that you typically end up with markets or problems you are personally not really excited about. I've done this exercise many times. I can either work on something I think is cool and there is a niche market for, but does not really "solve" a problem but addresses a "want", or I can work on something I have zero interest in but for which there probably is a market and clear distribution model. If I like adventure games, and want to make one, those don't solve a problem, and it's a niche market with a lot of competition (gaming in general). Or I can work on some online tax prep software for expats. Niche market, addresses a problem, zero personal interest, probably a big market.
> When a user clicks on the “Call” button labeled “Delivery or Takeout,” they are taken to a different number, (646) 394-9837, which is owned by Grubhub.

> Yelp has historically functioned like an enhanced Yellow Pages, listing direct phone numbers for restaurants along with photos, information about the space, menus, and user reviews. But Yelp began prompting customers to call Grubhub phone numbers in October 2018 after the two companies announced a “long-term partnership.”

> In June, H. Claire Brown at The New Food Economy reported that the food delivery platform Grubhub has been creating thousands of websites in restaurants’ names, sometimes surpassing the restaurant’s own website in search engine visibility, in order to drive more online orders and commissions for Grubhub.

These feel like deceiving the customer.
Good luck arguing that Gmail forged and signed an email from you.
There are plenty of foods that are high in Vitamin D without resorting to specialized mushroom farming.

I know Paul Stamets is held in high regard in certain circles, but be careful. He's a personal brand builder, first and foremost, and many of his claims range from dubious to pure pseudoscience. Even though he's become a figurehead for mushroom research, his own line of supplements is notoriously inferior to many other products on the market. Fun guy (hah) to listen to on podcasts, as long as you don't take him too seriously or get hooked by his disguised sales pitches for his products.
Not OP. But I would give all my data to the police/government... in an encrypted manner that has guarantees in place that only valid criminal investigations can decrypt. Heck, we do it on some level all the time anyways when it comes to things such as filing taxes, getting married, running companies, enforcing contracts and various other day-to-day benign interactions.

At this point, I'm more inclined to believe that "democratic" and "noble" governments and agents are the ones maliciously pushing for "privacy" because it suits their power-maintaining agenda. I'm struggling to find compelling and valid reasons why we can't pursue a general solution that involves us giving all this "private" data to a government entity for legitimate investigations, fraud prevention and crime-solving whilst keeping that data free from abuse.
How do you compare with the ELF or ELK stack? (re: not reinventing the wheel)

> They have also occasionally shipped security updates for even older hardware.

Yes, only security updates

> I don't like using Windows but I admire MS's commitment to back compatibility. I know it adds a tremendous amount of work and makes some vulnerabilities very difficult or impossible to address.

Yes, but there's a price for backwards compatibility. It makes the goal of "it just works" near insurmountable.

I'm not saying what MS or Apple is doing either is good or bad. I'm just explaining the pros and cons of both approaches. There's no wrong choice. You just need to be aware of the pros and cons before making a commitment on your choice. Dropping support for old stuff has been Apple's MO for decades now, while it feels to be the opposite for Microsoft
I don't think it's a fascination, it's what the OP is about. We're talking about the subject of a blog post, no?

I think the point boils down to expectation management: journalists (and ...) barely understand non-repudiation, much less why each of the following scenarios pans out:

* 2006 email + 512-bit RSA, leaked in 2006: probably authentic

* 2008 email + 512-bit RSA, leaked in 2012: potentially inauthentic

* 2008 email + 1024-bit RSA, leaked in 2008: probably authentic

* 2008 email + 1024-bit RSA, leaked in 2016: potentially inauthentic

...and so on. In sum: we're making life harder for the people doing real investigative work (since they're not technical), and we're giving fodder to the people who want to conspiracize. All because we're using a spam mitigation technique to provide properties that it was never intended to provide.
