I wonder if "employee shoplifting" actually involves no crime in its majority. My friends had experienced a few cases where they were never asked to return company equipment upon leaving, and that includes expensive laptops, phones, etc. E.g. the company was supposed to contact them to get it back, but never did.

If this equipment is then simply marked as "stolen" to write-off, and this situation is prevalent in tech companies, I could see it being a sizable chunk of the "shoplifting".

P.S. I don't claim literal shoplifting is not happening.

Title "Google makes breaking change to publishing Sheets as data" is slightly misleading/speculative as to intent.

I have created something similar using Snapcast, gmrender-resurrect, MPD, Home Assistant, Jellyfin and Navidrome. gmrender-resurrect makes "casting" possible from the phone.

This provides many different options but the core of it all is Snapcast. It is great.
I do have a "HDR" monitor, but as far as I know most gaming HDR monitors don't have true HDR, and usually have a peak brightness of 250nits (or 400-500 nits for the more expensive ones).

Also, I am on Windows, and HDR is unusable on Windows in normal usage, and very few games/applications actually support HDR.

I understand that some enthusiast monitors do exist that might reach 1000 nits and are actually used in HDR mode, but I think that those users are way under 1% (even 0.1%) of the traffic for the most websites.
Did you actually read those links? The very first paragraph on the falkvinge-page:

"This article argues that our current laws on the topic are counterproductive, because they protect child molesters instead of bringing them to justice, they criminalize a generation of normally-behaving teenagers which diverts valuable police resources from the criminals we should be going after, and they lead to censorship and electronic book burning as well as unacceptable collateral damage to innocent families. Child abuse as such is not condoned by anybody, and this article argues that current laws are counterproductive in preventing and prosecuting it."

So they're arguing for a change in laws such that child molesters could more easily be prosecuted? And here you are accusing a man of actively supporting pedophilia based on some gossip from someone who also didn't read what he was actually saying?

My concern is that you might have a different definition of "cool findings" than other people. We each have our own unique set of experiences and industry knowledge - something that I could run with and make fly might look completely uninteresting to someone else (and vice versa).

Created issue.
A short description of the issue:

Private Sheet public CSV export requires authentication when set not to

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. create a private(!) Google Sheet

2. set public CSV export publication

3. access the endpoint without credentials

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? If you see error messages, please provide them.

You should receive a CSV file, you get HTML5 login form.

Please provide any additional information below.

Setting the Sheet to Public with a link fixes the problem, there's an obvious bug with the permissions taken from the Sheet, not the Export.

This is the "just buy a used 4Runner" way of doing things and like a used 4Runner it tends to only make economic sense on paper because everyone else who's read a blog about not making terrible financial decisions is trying to do the same, supply and demand works its magic and prices go up to the equilibrium where this method of doing things doesn't actually make economic sense. There is no free lunch.
> moderate price inflation took place throughout the Bretton Woods era

Bretton Woods collapsed because the United States' gold reserves were depleted in half honoring the $35 then $41 fixed exchange. Too many dollars were printed during Bretton Woods to fund the Great Society and Vietnam war. Ending the system made sense because it enabled the United States to keep what was left of its Gold reserves.

FWIW, I meant Apple secure enclave hacks get all the attention because they're more of an achievement, at least in terms of published hacks being more rare. I tried to keep track of published Qualcomm breaks--which usually don't require physical access as they involve classic software bugs--several years ago but gave up because they were too numerous yet not as widely publicized. I had plenty of fodder by then, though I try to take mental note of new breaks that [briefly] appear on HN or elsewhere.

I was keeping track of hacks for marketing material related to a security startup I was working on. The competition would have principally been smartphone-based authentication apps, both Android and iPhone.

Guide to OOMKill Alerting in Kubernetes Clusters
You need to know the location of the minerals. Or you better hope the war didn't kill all the people who do know the location of, say rutile and ilmenite deposits.

Then there's the matter of getting enough people down into the mines to get enough out. Historically this was done via slavery, but those ancient civilizations first needed to acquire giant, mean, ugly armies in order to get the slaves. Where do you find a few hundred thousand unarmed people to enslave after a nuclear war?

Actually, first you would have to find a few hundred thousand armed people and convince them to join your army to enslave all the other people. And you would have to have quite a bit of luck. If you didn't, one, or maybe even a group, of the few hundred thousand soldiers you found to be in your army might figure out that they can just kill you and it will be their army.

The ancient way was hard. The entire process would not be as easy as many believe.
I think the whole idea here is that Pluton will be integrated inside of the same physical chip as the CPU. So physically swapping CPUs would swap your Pluton core too.

From the article

"Unique Dangers Associated with Electric Battery Fires
First, during an electric vehicle fire, over 100 organic chemicals are generated, including toxic gases like carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide, both of which are fatal to humans."

It's propaganda. "primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda" You aren't getting any facts in there that don't further the authors claims, and the ones that are there are written in a dishonest way.

If the author said that "during an electric vehicle fire, over 100 organic chemicals are generated as opposed a conventional vehicle fire where 10/100/1000 different organic chemicals are generated" at least you'd have a basis of comparison, as it is, it just written to sound scary without informing you in any way what so ever.

> Yeah, A Farewell to Alms makes a pretty convincing argument that 1945 to 1971 was an anomaly. Ever since the advent of agriculture, income inequality has been on the rise. The Belle Epoch in France was the peak of that - then revolutions, World Wars, and Socialism happened. Once that civil unrest stopped, the trend continued back up.

Its worth noting that large scale disasters (of all sorts) were always great equalizers, a countervailing force to rising inequality. In general, the more you had to lose, the more you lost.

We've been getting better at preventing or coping with a lot of these things like plagues, famines, and so on, but we've become even better at insulating accumulated wealth from being destroyed by them (including by financial crises), by privatizing gains and socializing losses.

I have a feeling that we've entered a new period of larger scale social unrest and natural disasters which may or may not significantly destroy and/or redistribute wealth to level the playing field again somewhat.
I think you missed something there -

Either your devices and hub don't need to be exposed to the net (so why are you even using a router connected to the web?), or they do.

If they do, it's because that's how you control them, via the web. If that's the case, it doesn't matter what network your phone is on; command and control is done via the web.

Now, in terms of infecting each other, sure. But the point is to keep my data devices and such separate from my IoT devices. Yes, the whole IoT infrastructure may get infected and need a purge, but my goal is to keep infection of those from getting, say, my banking information. And yes, it assumes that the command and control app is reasonably secure, but that's a whole different issue (and one reason why I would rely on Amazon or Alexa as a hub, and not some random no name company).
I see EVs in rural California all the time. If an EV gets into an accident on its way to a national park the closest fire department is going to respond.

Yes, it is functionally equivalent to having Bluetooth enabled.

When Bluetooth is on, your iPhone broadcasts itself with a rotating random MAC address (a feature now called Bluetooth LE Privacy). It rotates at a fixed interval, something like every 5 minutes.

With contact tracing enabled, your phone broadcasts another random identifier, and that identifier rotates at the same interval as your MAC address. The random identifier is actually cyphertext, and the key to decrypt it is stored on your phone.

I think it should have been turned on by default if Bluetooth is turned on by default, but people would have complained very loudly.

Because the other large players are so large that they will either buy you out or legally stamp you out of existence before you can gain significant market share. And farmers aren't going to be easy to convince to drop $100K+ on a tractor company with no history, no reliability metrics, and no guarantee the company will even exist in 20 years when something major breaks requiring more expensive custom manufacturing. It would take 100 million or more dollars in capital to even start a new heavy equipment company before you even start dealing with all the legal costs and requirements of staying in the market with the other big players.

Information Has Mass
The worst part is that after you subscribe to some of these sites, you still get ads. The New York Times is one example.
On the other hand advertising isn't something that just automatically pays bills. If I buy ads on a page, I want it to be worthwhile. If I buy views on the screen of users that hate my brand because I show up on their favourite page and disturb them, I haven't really gotten value for my money so I'm perfectly happy that you use an adblocker.
Some things that helped me massively: Despite having 20-20, I would get eye strain and I could not differentiate it between a migraine and eye strain. Worse yet, eye strain lasts for days just like a migraine. Switching from a 1080p monitor to a 4k monitor with a reasonably low dot pitch, minimizing video game playing, and hunching (looking at a laptop screen, looking at a cell phone), helped me massively. Oh and blackout curtains are a godsend if the sun rises or sets in the general direction of the room you're staying in.

I went to a chronic pain clinic, and I was glad I did. When you lay in bed too long (especially when females do) the muscles deteriorate and this in itself causes chronic pain that can at times be difficult to distinguish from a migraine. I had to go to a physical therapist and it helped tons.

A pain clinic will prescribe antidepressants, because they often will work for all kinds of chronic pain, including migraines, but sadly for me they only worked about the first month and then became ineffective. However, I did learn from that the best anti-depressants and anti-anxietiants in the first world outside of the US (because pharmaceutical companies can't make a profit off of it) are RIMAs [1] and are absolutely worth perusing if you have depression. Out of pocket they're about $20 a month, and they can help with pain too.

And on top of all of that, turns out I get migraines from allergies. I'm unfortunately highly allergic to every grass and tree allergy allergists test and a few of them cause migraines for me. Second, I'm allergic to soy which causes a severe migraine response, so I'm constantly cautious. It was an allergist of all people who helped me get on the right migraine medicine. The allergist I went to dubs himself an allergist when other allergists fail, and does food allergies too. Unfortunately, my allergies haven't gone away, but at least I know a cause for my migraines.

> command-line partitioning is just too risky

So partitioning a device is less risky with a GUI? That doesn't make sense.

EDIT: I should be more constructive:

I know that the command line scares some people, but that's just like computers in general scare most people, it's just something you have to get over with.

Another "scary" thing is the choice that exists between multiple available partitioning tools, I know it took me some time before I decided that the good old fdisk was my choice, but really, it probably doesn't matter, any should be OK. You probably won't actually do it directly from the command line anyway, e.g. fdisk is dialog driven instead.

Lastly, I doubt that it isn't possible to fire up Xorg from the Gentoo install media and then partition from a GUI tool, if that's what you want.
JD bought out Blue River Tech for a two hundred plus million. They shuttered their lettuce weeding robots and use it for cotton now...the last I heard.
