Do you have a link for that? I can't find that in Wikipedia. If is well known he had a lot of affairs and extramarital children, but I don't remember something like this.
These are all reasons why I consider going vegetarian. I'd still eat honey, though, so not vegan.
Sorry, I caught this comment late, but I agree I consider myself an enlightenment era liberal. Most people today peg me on the conservative spectrum, which is not true both parties have been in lock step on the real issues and squabbling it out on "emotional" issues. This is the reason that Clinton doubled down on Regan's/Big Bush's foreign policy and Little bush -> Obama progressed similar domestic controls. They honestly don't fight about anything they care about, just trigger issues, like sectional rights, the second amendment, abortion. I call them trigger issues, as they serve to divide people but honestly they could care less which way the chips fall on those issues which is why they never get resolved, but just keep getting stoked by the politicians.

To be honest even classic liberalism is dead, both are progressives when it comes to free trade, and unification of regulations across the globe.
Doesn't really seem extraordinary, it seems self evident, otherwise why is unemployment a problem at all?
Ok but how is a cabin in the woods not the ultimate form of that?
We grow plants to feed the animals we raise for food. This is far less efficient than eating the plants themselves, and it leads to more animals being killed for the reasons you mention.

I see a lot of comments about why Salesforce would acquire them and what the product benefit would be. It's not the product they are acquiring, it's the business and more importantly their financials. Salesforce's market cap is primarily driven by its ability to keep growth rates high. That's hard to do for a 25 year old company with a mature product. The easiest way to prop your growth rate up is find a fast growing company with a somewhat related product and absorb their growth rate. Who better than slack growing in the 40% range with revenues that aren't insignificant for Salesforce. The challenge with that strategy (apart from the awful customer experience of cobbling those products together) is that the next year you have to keep doing these large acquisitions to maintain that growth rate.
To answer your question accurately will depend on how long it ends up lasting for.

For example if it works well enough for another 4 years, now we need to ask the question on whether or not you could get reasonable value out of an 8+ year old Mac. I never sold one so I'm not sure. My gut tells me it's going to be worth way less than what you bought it for even if it's in good condition.

But more generally, yeah I have no intentions on re-selling this thing if I decide I'm done with it before it physically breaks. I'd probably donate it or give it away for free (if someone wanted it).

I don't see that as too bad tho. If I can get 7-8 years out of $350 device I'm pretty happy, especially if the next one costs about the same.

It's a tough comparison tho because a decently decked out MBP is going to be like 8x as expensive but also have way better specs.

It is indeed very websockety. While it is a server-side rendering framework, it relies heavily on javascript and websockets (or fallback to ajax, if websockets aren't available).

However, there isn't a built-in mechanism to handle a client who simply doesn't have javascript enabled at all. Interfaces could be built with traditional HTML forms, but I understand that's not the same thing.

one significant issue with recaptcha is that it punishes users who are not easily identifiable. the puzzle isn't enough for recaptcha - it needs to know who you are. is hcaptcha better in this regard? for example does it work behind tor? does it work with third party cookies disabled? is the challenge im ostensibly solving really the only thing required to verify my humanity? if so, i'm impressed! but if not, maybe we should just do away with the puzzles...

Well, yea, certainly they let some of them grow up to become beef products instead of veal products. But a lot of them just become veal since they have their quantity of steer head already.

And the females are grown up and impregnated and milked and the process repeats.

At least, that's my understanding of it all anyways.
Digging for Treasure in Aladdin’s Source Code (2017)
It would be even more interesting to compile a list of the world's most famous people that most of the world's people have not heard of.

My point is that a person can be very famous around the world and still not known by many people. Parochialism doesn't need to be invoked, just math.
Is there a reason why a lot of people prefer to swing trade options rather than stocks?

I understand the upside can be greater, but so is the risk. Is there something I’m missing?

Is there a risk level beyond which options make more sense?
I'm not sure I understand your point. Typescript is a language with a type checker and compiler. It's the same thing with C. Typescript has to be compiled to run. C has to be compiled to run. When I think of language performance I always default to thinking about runtime performance.

> I care that Apple or Microsoft don't get to know what executables I run. That is information highly relevant to security.

I think you missed the context of this comment thread. The "Does it matter" and "Would anyone care?" questions were directed at the question of what happens (presumably from a security point of view), if OSCP requests were being blocked. It's not related to the discussion about whether OSCP queries violate privacy or not.
When I review C code, I look for strncpy, etc., and give them special attention. There's always a bug or two in it.

0-terminated strings not only have proven to be a rich source of bugs, they're remarkably inefficient as well [1]. Doing better was a major focus of the initial design of D.

[1] This is because of constantly scanning to get the length (which also necessitates reloading the string contents into the memory cache), and having to make copies of strings instead of just slicing them.
For your argument to make sence you have to demonstrate that this amounts to nanny state.

I don't think it does, I think is fraud. For it to be consequences of of my choices, what choice do I make to select a mobile phone carrier that does not sell data of my location? Such choice does not exist.

You can't 'non-disclose' some 'small feature' of a mortgage contract, of a loan, etc. Personal data deserves similar respect.

Lastly, we can and do have different laws for individuals and multi-billion dollar corporations - you cant use this as an argument when we are discussing securities fraud and banking regulations.
Is that meant to be a proud boast?

Because, to me, it equates to someone bragging that 15% of the people they've slept with now have syphilis.

That's like complaining that you can write ugly code in any language. The problem isn't the regular expression, it's that email addresses, while they technically may form a regular language (not sure if they 100% do), are an insanely complicated such language and not a very nice one.

How would you write a specification for that language in any other way that was more elegant? Sure, you could make it more verbose, but that wouldn't make it easier to understand the whole of it, or why it is the way it is.
I am a developer, and I was once in a meeting full of scientists who work on gene sequencers. One of them, in what context I forget, referred to me as the "tech guy". I thought to myself, "I'm in a room full of scientists who work on gene sequencing, and I'm the tech guy? I thought I was the least technical person in this room."

I've had similar experiences with people who know the magazine industry, the custom steel door industry, the ad agency business, and several others. They all have their own language, and they all think that I'm the tech guy, and I know I'm the only one in the room who doesn't understand what we're talking about. :)
I find that when I solve a Captcha too quickly, I get another one. And another one. And another one. So instead, I wait a short time, click a few wrong boxes, then enter the correct Captcha. Maybe this is part of it, but I don't like it.
Add "running Firefox" to that list.
Interesting, it hadn't occurred to me, but of course between Zoom meetings and getting way more informal, this is gonna be a rough spot for them.

Paywalled - so here's the takeaway:

"One in six dry cleaners have closed or gone bankrupt in the U.S. already, and many won’t survive without more stimulus"..."the industry is likely booking only half the $7 billion in revenue it did pre-Covid-19" ... "a plea for corporate executives: institute a dress code for Zoom calls."
I have to think they're talking about the latter.
The last century has seen a huge increase in the quantity of law that is written out explicitly in statutes [1], rather than being worked out on a case-by-case basis according to the common law method. This is an attempt to “improve the language” as you have suggested, but it has not made the law easier to comprehend. Detailed statutes make it harder for lawyers to build up a coherent picture of the entire legal system, because there’s a much greater risk that a solid argument based on general principles collapses due to a specific statute that the lawyer has never heard of.

can you link me to some pointers on this? this sounds super interesting. thank you
The link posted by oomo contains (in French) an explanation about why it just works and is clean, general and guaranteed:
from the page "les syscall ne peuvent pas segfault
[dek\] Donc tous ceux qui acceptent une adresse
[dek\] Sont obligées de checker qu’elles est valide
[dek\] Et retournent EFAULT en cas d’erreur"

In English: "syscalls cannot segfault, so all that accept an address (as parameter) have to check if it is valid and return EFAULT in case of error."

(Since C code actually calls libc not system calls directly, this rationale fails on calls that do something on pointers before calling the actual kernel system call.)

Also, given the time cost of making a system call, one has to has an approach finer than "pay a system call for each byte to write" if there are many.

Anyway, TL;DR : it's not a dirty hack, it has some general validity!

This is obviously not true, people are not dropping like flies whenever a nurse in America takes a vacation or calls in sick.

Are you seriously claiming that there is a national shortage of people who can be trained to empty bedpans, setup IVs, draw blood, and take temperatures? At any price?

If wages go up, more labor will be available, and there is no shortage.

The Future of Developer Careers
Unfortunately, clients and features are still rapidly evolving and there's absolutely zero consensus on how to standardize any of it.

P2P vs centralized server? Different encryption models? Different algorithms for who is the active speaker? For how many and which audio channels get mixed and when? What about features like muting someone else or if there's a host or multiple hosts?

All that's just basics before we get into even the simplest extra but still required features like raising your hand, chat, file transfer in a chat, and so on.

As someone who's worked in the space before, there's no obvious or non-controversial way to do any of these. The "common sense" implementation that works in a business meeting case is often the exact opposite of what you'd want in a remote learning classroom, both of which are totally different from a government meeting.

And then at a practical level, differing clients would lead to madness as well. Imagine a training session where the host asks participants to click the "raise hand" button on their clients when they have a question... but half the clients don't implement one, and the other 5 clients have it in different places in their interface and everyone's confused. No thanks. :)

Sturgeon’s Law, Applied to Content
Let me see if I can find the podcast I listened to (or I can read this transcript) because it went into detail about the auction (the science behind it), how they knew about the flaws before but had spent too much time and money to not use it, it talked about how the private equity ultimately gamed it and made a bucketful of money. And ultimately how the public who owns the spectrum at the end of the day did not make any money off of it. I'll update here if I can find it. It was very interesting.

Edit: you could probably also read the publications on two-sided simultaneous incentive auction and the associated nobel prize that was awarded for this.
One such solution would be a small payment, something like 1 cent for access. That's not too much, because I am already paying 3 cents to a service solving captchas for me.
Bitcoin is a fraud.

It is totally ineffective as a currency --- for a long list of reasons.

It's main utility is speculation. But this too is a fraud due to the fact that the speculation is managed, controlled and manipulated by unregulated exchanges which operate without oversight or transparency and with blatant and inherent conflicts of interest in some cases.

IMHO we shouldn't define the problem in terms of reducing legislation into some computer language or schema; indeed the effort should be in describing and linking the terms into a graph with consistency validation rules and shape identities.

Well "presenting to children" is a big market now. 2020 has brought a lot of different kinds of people online, it's not just developers or people in corporate sector anymore. These days my kids hangout on Zoom every single school day, which is way more than I have ever been in a virtual video conference in my life.
The system in place right now is meant to protect the corporations not the users. Credit card companies ask for too little proof of identification, and then blame the user in the name of “identity theft”. The problem is no, no one stole the person’s identity. No one was kidnapped or killed and then replaced with a look a like. Instead, the company was scammed, but they don’t care because they can pass the buck.
Why would they expose themselves to liability?
Well yes, the poster was quite clear in his assertion that Pascal, Hume, and Kierkegaard are all either bullshitters or quite meaningless (reducible to semantics.)
Depends what you mean by Unicode.

All the UTF-8 codepoints can be held inside an 8bit char, which is what this library seems to use under the covers.

You might need to add a couple UTF-specific methods if you want number of graphemes rather than number of bytes, but there's nothing to stop you placing UTF8 data inside a char buffer.
Not really. Consensus top 3 is Maradona, with usually Messi and the third more controversial usually goes to one of the Ronaldos or Cruyff.
Thanks for the feedback! For what it's worth, we do indeed aim to make it fully local, and you can set how sensitive it is eg to just screen for overtly racist stuff, and have control over when it's on and transparency over anything it screens (it'd just be a warning layer). If nothing else it might help content moderators to do their job with less negative impact on their mood, though maybe not...
The coolest feature is kind of hidden away in its support article[1]:

> A Screen share slide is also a great way to show the screen of your iPhone or iPad to quickly demo an app, for example. To use your device in a Screen share, first plug it into your computer, then select it with “Add Screen Share”.

This potentially provides an easy way to use your far better iPhone camera as an external webcam for your Mac.

I built an alternative[0] that takes a proof of work approach. As a site owner you set the difficulty that makes sense for you: so perhaps you would want 20 seconds of computation before you can submit. The nice thing is that this can happen entirely in the background while the user fills in the form.

Also with multiple requests from the same IP in a short timespan, the difficulty increases.

There are downsides to to any captcha, but in my opinion make a much better tradeoff. Accessibility and privacy are respected, and there are no annoying tasks.

A quick Google will turn up several serious usability studies that show more screen real estate == higher productivity. It depends a lot on the type of work, of course, but for development a larger screen would mean less scrolling and tab switching => less context switching => so your brain gets more done.
It's not that easy to quantify how down a service is at the scale of AWS, for example Cognito has issues, does it means every services that rely on that have issues, what is the impact etc...
Nope, that's the same faulty reasoning people use to justify purchasing leather. As if making the killing of cows more economical is somehow a good thing, and acting like demand for the product itself isn't going to cause companies to act to meet it and increase net animal death. It's completely naive.
Yeah, that would be the modern solution. As far as I can tell even Salesforce has tried that with role-specific views that are customizable. But somehow it just converges back to everyone having everything all over again, but this time with 8 different frontend views to be maintained.
Same thing in Western Europe ;-)
But this entire thread is about a case where the captcha happens after password entry!

The point is that it is an entirely legit design, and kind of is the way you have to go when the username and password are entered together. As long as the captcha is shown regardless of the password validity, both the security properties and the amount of user annoyance due to having to solve unnecessary captchas is the same as if you had had to pass a captcha up front.

The example of Google Accounts is interesting, because they use split username and password entries. So there is indeed a natural point in the flow to show the captcha between the username and the password, which is what they do. But at least up to a year ago they were doing it after the password. So enter username + submit, enter password + submit, and if the login attempt was sufficiently dodgy get shown a captcha regardless of the validity of the password.

Hi--- I tried BBB for the first time today, --- not deploying my own server, but trying the demo online.

When I click 'start', I'm taken to https://demo2.bigbluebutton.org/html5client/join?sessionToke... which is a 404 Not Found page from nginx.
I have a VPN so like ~50% of web sites present a captcha to me ... had to subscribe to a service solving captchas automatically.
Quotes are from the bind zone file syntax (the same format used in most DNS servers). It is not very well documented in bind ARM, but can be found in RFC1035.
Their demo even doesn't work for me. It displays an error message in my native language similar to 'Rate limited or network error. Please try again.'. Reloading doesn't change the situation (maybe related to my ad blocker).

Doesn't make the best impression...
My knowledge of this is that hCaptcha uses anonymized user data to ensure that the user doesn't look like a bot. What ReCAPTCHA did differently is not only not anonymizing data, but specifically trying to find out which person was presented with their captcha by matching cookies and profiles to Google accounts (which the majority of users would have and be logged into for many reasons). When you combine this with Google owning everything from Gmail to Youtube to Android to Chrome, it gets extremely pervasive.
