Isn't it a bit ironic that a magazine who’s page is PLASTERED by advertising and data collecting beacons is claiming the model is dead...

Has the concept of journalistic integrity gone by the way side? Do as I say, read these 10 things that you didn’t know about famous celebrity?

It’s in fashion to gang up on Facebook, it’s a lot harder to actually analyze the Ad market space, realize how we got here, and where the true dangers lie. But yea, that would take research... and well, journalistic integrity.

( newspapers didn’t adapt to the new media in the late 90s and they’ve been suffering ever since.. it’s sad.. but clamoring for the old days of TV and Papers domination of advertising is naïveté. Apple just wants to be the new network.. that’s all.)
I respectfully disagree. The writing on the Shield was good but kind of amateur compared to the Wire. I really want to like Kurt Sutter, and often I do, but he doesn't hold a candle to Simon and the rest of the writers on the Wire. The Shield had some really good socially aware arcs (the asset forfeiture season comes to mind) but even those pale compared to the whole Wire philosophy of institutions as Greek gods in a Greek tragedy. Also the pray-the-gay-away subplot in the Shield has not aged well.
If I recall it was initially a self released pay how much you want download.

I believe this was a 'first' and there was more hype about that than the album itself.

In Rainbows is my favorite Radiohead album for sure, closely followed by the Bends.
How do you factor in trips where being thrify - taking, for instance, public transport or staying in strange places or finding cheap back-street bars, are actually the way to have a far more genuine experience than throwing money at stuff? I've always found the trips I've taken when I've been broken to be the ones where I discover the most and immerse myself the most. When I've you're able to throw money at stuff you get lazy and don't get as much from it.

Exactly. Apple is even introducing further restrictions on macOS, to turn it into a closed system like ios totally under Apple's control. (They've already crippled all application firewalls so that they cannot block any apple authorised software from accessing the internet, and they can even bypass VPNs, all in the marketing speak of "security" while the real reason is to better spy on its users).
the option was there for quite a while now. it’s not new. now the developers of apps need to tell you the shady stuff they are doing.
I’ve sunk a lot of time into both games. They’re complimentary to each other.

Factorio is fantastic if you love automation and building complex production pipelines. The game gives you incredible control over building and controlling the manufacturing of stuff. The main motivation is to optimize that, and there are many avenues to do so. You care very little about your “person” (the being that you control) except to keep it alive.

Rimworld is much more rich in what you can choose to do, since it’s primarily a story generation game. You have a lot less control over your manufacturing pipeline. You also have to deal with the humanity of your pawns, who need to eat, sleep and enjoy recreation. You have to keep them alive through natural disasters and raids. Your pawns may die but the story doesn’t end there.

They’re really different games. When I get upset with stupidity of pawns and want more precise automation, I switch to factorio. When I get bored with the dreariness of an automated factory churning out trinkets, I switch to rimworld.
Which probably has nothing to do with encryption. The TLS messengers are using AES as well (and unless you are using secret chats for all your communication Telegram is in this camp as well).

Ransom usually means, "I have some(one|thing) of yours, and if you want it back, you need to pay me."

Calling this "randomware" subtly blurs the line between copying and stealing. The attackers here didn't remove access to the data (clearly stealing), they made a copy (clearly a crime other than stealing, at least in my view).

It's more like blackmail than kidnapping.
Have you read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance? Your attitude reminds me of the protagonist's friend.

When you do things for yourself, not only do you gain the experience when you have the agency and skills to add a layer of self-reliance, and not only do you have the beautiful experience of learning and appreciating the ins and outs of the things that contribute to your existence, but often when you achieve some degree of master of something you'll be building or maintaining things to a higher standard because you have a vested interest in keeping the tools around you that way as opposed to relying on a division of labour.
I agree with you, Blade Runner 2049 explored more in depth the philosophical the older movie brought up. I was very hyped for the movie, and was really satisfied with the result. Same director is doing Dune, are you looking forward to that as well?
No one is debating whether or not 0 is even here. The article mentions that it's well-settled. This is about why the results show so many "normal" people not seeing it as even. Framing it as modular arithmetic isn't going to help those people.

What a bunch of malarkey. This paper is a product of the malarkey echo chamber. Just take one key phrase they try to scare you with: “G Suite for Healthcare Businesses", supposedly part of their big scary plan to dominate your life. First of all, not a Google product line, despite the capitalization and quotation marks. There is a marketing site that is meant to tell health businesses that Google Workspace is HIPAA-compliant, but that's it. The only other places where the phrase “G Suite for Healthcare Businesses" appears are thinly-sourced pseudo journalism and blog spam. So we know right there this position paper isn't based on research, it's based on reading blogs. It is echo chamber effluent.

The rest of it is just innuendo and second-order suppositions. There exists some company that once used Google Cloud APIs for their own health data, therefore this data -- somehow, through magic -- leaks out into "Google AI", a kind of scary overmind into which one shovels data and out of which comes all manner of scary outcomes. Except it's all bullshit, because there's no mechanism by which third party data that happens to use GCP just osmotically migrates into AdSense. This paper is 7 pages of bullshit.
I've never seen this comparison before. Are you suggesting that Facebook is similar to an endorheic basin?
Ethics is a trend.

It's whatever is trendy to say or think at the moment. A set of arbitrary unenforceable rules to shame practices that is decided by whoever convinced other ethicist to grant him a PhD.

Of course, all that is done without going through the rigor of making these practices illegal. That would have a real impact. And require real work.

This is probably not relevant to Jepsen, and I don't know how similar to a distributed database distributed metadata in parallel filesystems look. Anyway, some of the tests for the Lustre PFS use Linux' fault injection system. Also, Linux documents specific support for NFS fault injection, which I know nothing about, and may or may not apply to pNFS. (It probably doesn't make it any more relevant or databased, but the OrangeFS PFS uses bdb or lmdb instances for the arbitrarily distributed metadata.)

To me, ransomware attacks are specifically "the malware got in and turned all my data to mush; the attacker doesn't care about my data, just that I'll pay to un-mush it."

This is "the malware got in and sent copies back home; now home base is threatening release and expecting payment to prevent it." To me, this is blackmail done via hacking, not ransomware.
The proliferation of spyware has become unbearable. You cannot anymore use any app or service - even the paid ones - without having to worry that any of your data is being collected. And no, reading through piles of TOS and privacy disclaimers is not gonna solve this.

A typical long lease is longer than a lifetime, maybe 99 or 120 years, but you could in principle write a shorter one of just a few decades, or a much longer one of hundreds of years.

As I understand it the main residual value is from payment to renew leases (mortgage lenders don't want to lend against a home you may not have in a few decades, so it's often not possible to sell a lease to a "normal" buyer who wants a mortgage if it has say 50 years left on it, you'd pay to renew it), and from any "ground rent" owed by the leaseholders each year indefinitely. Historically ground rent was often set at a token amount, but of course there was an opportunity for greedy people to jack that up when creating a new leasehold property and so e.g. mine is £250 per annum.

It doesn't feel like renting at all, it's just that historically English law provided no way to outright own 3D space, only 2D parcels of land can have freehold, and arguably in practice it wouldn't mean anything anyway. If I "owned" this space, but the building it is in burned down, how do I live here without re-building it?

The freeholder is responsible for insuring the building (the certificate of insurance is posted on a notice board on the main entrance floor of my building near the weird art that presumably the owners or builders liked, and the elevator) and collecting a fair share of insurance premiums from all leaseholders, likewise they hire a maintenance company to sort the gardens, do elevator safety checks, resurface the parking, clear junk illegally left by ex-tenants (could they try to sue instead of billing the remaining tenants? Sure, but if a lawsuit costs £1000 and hiring a clearance firm costs £180 guess which gets done) and so on.

Leaseholders can (are legally always entitled to) buy the freehold, but now you've got the headache you were paying somebody else to deal with. You (collectively) need to buy insurance, hire a maintenance firm, and so on or else pay to hire somebody to do that on behalf of everybody. For a shared building where I live (as opposed to standalone houses) this division of labour makes at least some sense and I'm not opposed to it continuing to exist. Creating more leasehold houses is crazy nonsense, but alas the present governing party really like rich people, and thus has not exactly prioritised banning such practices.

> a lot of people (myself included) started with tape on their fingerboard.

I have come to dislike this method. It gets the student focused on looking at the fingerboard and using the small lateral muscles in their fingers to try to reach for the tape rather than finding the large muscle positioning and biomechanics that produces in tune fingerings.

Hold up your hand with fingers straight. Try spreading your fingers and then pulling them together fast. They kind of "pop" between the two positions, and if you look at the spread position, they're basically the same distance apart. So if you can arrange your arm so that spread drops an in-tune whole step on the fingerboard and together drops an in-tune half step, you will play in tune.

You do that by rotating your elbow under the instrument. The farther toward your back the elbow is, the more your hand is angled from the neck, and the closer the spacing between where your fingers fall on the fingerboard. The more your push your elbow forward, the more your fingers fall farther apart on the strings. There's an in-tune position for each of the four strings, and kind of inbetweens for double stops. Training your gross muscle memory to find that position is vastly easier than searching for tapes, you don't get in the habit of looking at the fingerboard (because there's nothing there that makes a difference), and you don't get slowed down later because your lateral muscles in your fingers are tense and making your fingers move slower.

The funny thing is that I think this was described in Geminiani's treatise, which was the first manual of violin playing ever.

From the Turing Award announcement, it was for his (and others') work on symbolic model checking:

https://web.archive.org/web/20090417205051/http://usacm.acm....

I've never used a symbolic model checker (might in the near future!) but as opposed to finite state model checkers which explore every possible system state with breadth-first search, symbolic model checkers can sometimes render the combinatorial explosion of system states tractable. I have heard symbolic model checkers are not a completely free lunch and struggle with deep state graphs even if the branching factor isn't very high.

It cannot be a person, unless there is some incredible breakthrough in energy storage density.

Whatever that object is, it's too small to hold enough batteries to contain the energy needed to lift a human being for any serious length of time. Even using chemical storage like gasoline or kerosine, you'd need to bring a very large tank with you to stay airborne any length of time. There's no lifting body, like wings, to make staying aloft more efficient either, like an airplane uses.

My guess is that it's a prank. A fairly large drone loosely carrying a very light dummy. And as far as pranks go, they have succeeded.

Not really. Apple's vice is the tendency to lock down their platforms too much and we're seeing this with the new laptops; their track record with regards to privacy is pretty good.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe Finale (infinity wars/endgame)

I remember I saw Iron Man 1 in high school and it really felt like it was the beginning of something different. This movie wasn't like the other ones that came out each year...

Of course there were some boring ones in the 22 movie run, but overall I think the final 2 were tremendous and pretty much everyone loved them with very little disappointment.
To be fair this is the risk you take when you gamble.
It goes very far pretending to be serious for what is otherwise a very ironic article. Maybe if it was on the onion...
I just think that everybody is overlooking Google's corporate culture and thus are imagining purely virtual evil scenarios that will not happen, like the health data sold to marketers.

From what I see of Google and the past public outcries, the company would be more interested in developing medical characterization of illnesses etc. Like Apple watch used to diagnose heart problems. There is a lot of "money" to be made ethically this way.

Depends on the clients. I remember a case where a family that hid their daughter's cosmetic surgeries had the marriage annulled when it was discovered by the groom's much wealthier family.

So a lucrative target might be someone who traveled from outside the US to have work done to hide it, especially if they were relatively young.
It would be very hard to “taint the legacy” of a person like Carmack.

He will be excellent no matter where he is because he is given essentially free reign to work on what he enjoys the most.

And if that changes it will be unlikely to be the company that did it, since a person in his position would just move to another company and re-acquire free reign.
> They're not using cryptography, but aren't they demanding ransom?

No, a ransom is a fee paid for the release of something you value. Cryptography is one way to take a user's data, and release it back to them on payment.

This is blackmail. They want payment to not release something.

Because most companies employee engineers with unexceptional results. So ultimately it's the hiring, molding and guiding of engineering efforts that leads to supreme success. I'm not an Elon fan -- though I'm not against him -- but it seems to me that somewhere in his recipe, he's figure out this basic truth.
Not sure why you are being downvoted for this, I 100% agree.
This is such an oversimplification. Since when did a table contribute to the richness of an application? Most modern sites are built with divs and remain inaccessible.

Tables simplify the code for simple content placement. That's it. It's only one of a long list of requirements to satisfy all sorts of requirements including screen reader compatibility. And if one were to use tables, it's only one of a long list of hacks and non-hacks that would break screen readers.

The root of the problem is with web designers not prioritizing accessibility-friendliness in their sites to begin with, for the basic reason that it prevents them from building the site that they need to build. And "what breaks or doesn't break accessibility" is not part of the spec description and is not enforced technically. We get recommendations, but it's up to us to test everything against everything else and compromise. Not just with accessibility but with everything else as well including backwards compatibility.
I feel like there's two different skill-sets at play--the ability to learn a piece, as printed, and play it back accurately, and then this, which is more improvisational skills. The two skill sets intertwine but mastery of one does not necessarily transfer.

To learn the latter quickly, I find it easiest to build a catalogue of music you like listening to, and then figure out how to transcribe it (by ear) on your piano. Maybe just the most overt melody lines at first, before you can grok chords all that well.

In time, you start building your own internalized library of "licks", little musical gestures that are automatic, and to achieve what Marc is doing, is to just string those gestures together. It sounds musically complex but when you're doing it, it almost feels like cheating, because you're leaning so hard on these "tropes" that you've built up over time.

Yes and no.

You are right that the definition of even-ness is how we determine whether zero is even or not (by that definition).

But there are reasons to choose one definition over another. Yes, you can choose to define zero to be exempt. But you can look at the patterns of numbers that are "obviously even" and observe that adding 2 to an even number results in an even number. So it's reasonable that subtracting 2 from an even number should result in an even number.

That's not a definition, but it's a pattern to observe, and leads one to think that maybe defining zero to be even makes sense, and fits with existing patterns.

You can define it how you like, but some definitions are more useful than others. That's why 1 is no longer considered to be prime, -1 is considered by some to be prime, and why even-ness is defined in such a way as to include zero. It creates fewer exceptions to general properties.

It's more convenient, more useful, and simpler, than any of the alternatives. Patterns provide a reason to create the definition we use.

> you will deliver more value in less time than you ever have before

I think this is arguable. It's also not that hard, for instance, to get a bare-bones node API up and running and pair it with a React single-page app. And that approach is more modular so you can replace components in the future in a way which is harder than with rails.
