Computer Vision tends to fail in surprising ways. The traditional cases are accounted for. It’s the big white box truck against the clear blue sky that will throw it off. It’s logical to think that a large object in the middle of the road can’t be missed but the algorithm has trouble reading subtle hue and saturation differences between the truck and the background. Unfortunately anyone stepping into an AI controlled vehicle is a QA guinea pig.

Unless the defaults changed in Big Sur, it's been enabled by default with or without iCloud for many years — perhaps you're referring to the separate option to store your recovery keys on iCloud?

Regarding work devices, do you have any data supporting that assertion? Even the linked article claims this is uncommon and the intersection of people who care about protecting from physical hardware access but choose to disable FileVault is pretty small. It's a good audit point but unless you have data showing this is widespread, consider whether you're doing more than pro bono marketing for Kolide.
This was my personal experience too. And people will find ways to humiliate others in games without such measures like Halo's teabagging.

These things are not zero cost. They create pollution and waste and there was literally no scientific evidence at all they did anything at the start of this thing, and there is even more evidence they're a placebo today.

They have grave social costs. There is stigma between people who do and don't wear masks. It has allowed people who commit domestic acts of terrorism (antifa/anti capitalist/anarchists/black bloc) to hide in more public places than would normally be possible.

They're instilling fear in our youth.

If you wore the mask and defended it without question back in March, you'd likely also kill the person in the other room in the Stanley Milgram experiments.

The Masks are nothing more than a conformity experiment.

You can do that. There are charities that literally buy slaves in order to free them.

Be aware, though, that there are people who criticize such practices as 1) accepting and giving legitimacy to the concept of slavery, and 2) increasing the demand, which tempts others to find ways to increase the supply. Personally, I don't find the first argument convincing. The second I could see being a legitimate concern.

This is a good question. You should be able to control multiple SPI devices at the same time, but that requires the CSX/CS ("Chip Select") pin to be present. The model I bought doesn't seem to have this feature, but someone found a hack [1]. I will add this info to the readme as you're really better off buying displays with CS if you're planning to control multiple tiny screens. [1] https://www.instructables.com/Adding-CS-Pin-to-13-LCD/
I have proven hearing loss in my right ear, and some in my left, but the right side is worst. The most difficult thing is that my frequency range is skewed toward the bass. I have trouble hearing high frequency sounds, but the low frequency sounds are extra loud to me. As a result, most sound is to "bass"y for me.

I've been using technology to adjust for this since I was a kid in the 1980's and 90's: Turn the treble up, the bass down on every radio I own.

I recently installed VoiceMeter Banana on my PC and I can use it to do the same thing. It really can help!

Using DRL during the day (i.e. normal visibility) is not mandatory in Austria. You may use them, or dipped beam, if you choose so.

There is one more difference between DRL in EU and NA: in EU, the parking lights must be off, while DRL is on. This is a problem with some older cars, which technically do have DRL, but keep the parking lights on (i.e. pre-F series BMW; the angel eyes are parking light). This is non compliant in EU.

This presumes there are alternate jobs available quickly and easily enough to cover immediate needs.

Secondarily, it indeed assumes that the drivers have the skill to understand depreciation of the vehicle, cost of repairs, etc., or expected costs of healthcare over time, which, bluntly, I’d be surprised if most people on this forum could calculate correctly enough. Alternatively, it’s possible that drivers are knowingly mortgaging the car to cover short term needs - in other words, that the math doesn’t pen out and yet people are still engaging because they’re under duress.

Finally, it assumes absent state intervention that there’s any kind of parity in negotiation between the drivers and the company, or any way for them to affect what is a transparently lopsided power dynamic.
Linked List Cycle Detection with Two Pointer Algorithm [video]
The article describes how about twenty neighbors interviewed said they never heard the police announce themselves.

So, if nothing else, it’s an important and open question if the police really made clear that they were the police.

Also your statement is reprehensible and obviously concocted nonsense. You should feel ashamed of yourself for writing that, and, I question what your real intent is in posting such an unpleasant comment - that the woman’s boyfriend, who tried to defend her and was shot in the process of doing so, is somehow ‘responsible’ for her death.

Even if he made a mistake in good faith - which is unclear - that’s a far cry from ‘responsibility’ in any legal or moral sense.

Again, shame. Shame on you.

If they were to fix this part, what other parts is there to be also fixed? How long did it originally take time to write just this part? Now expand to whole document. It's quite unrealistic to expect them in hurry to tear down and rewrite certain parts that don't even need negotiation.

Wonder how many years would it be to search for all parts needing updating, then collect necessary personnel to rewrite those and then pass them through all parties involved. Likely very much longer than entire process has now taken time.

About the dictatorship we don't need to have a discussion, do we?

The "tyrannic" part: A tyrant is an absolute ruler who is unrestrained by law. This pretty much describes the Chinese Communist Party. Critics are silenced, dissidents are disappeared, non-han-chinese are robbed of their heritage. (See the Uigurs or the Mongols.) Even if you don't violate the law, you'll get punished through it[0]. There's massive corruption and people's rights are violated in routine and international agreements are ignored (see Hong Kong).

Yeah, I think the shoe fits.

I'd say it's very reliable. I'll still cross reference Waze and Google Maps, if I absolutely need to arrive at somewhere on time, but over the past year or so there's only been a very small number of instances where I thought that Apple's navigation directions were inferior to the competition (and even then, we're talking a few minutes)

I can agree that corruption exists at the FDA (and every other organization). I don't agree that it has been completely useless or even had a net negative effect for the quality of life for most Americans.

More transparency would be nice, more data from more frequent experiments would be nice. But the point is, they are using scientific principles (over the long term, I can't say for specific administrations).
Life Without Amazon (Well, Almost)
I recommend to people who ask my security advice to not have intelligence agencies in their personal threat models because it only encourages them and they need the budget justification. Working in cybersecurity for a couple of decades, lots of people have stories like these. There was even some speculation from one person that they keep people under surveillance just as training targets even when there is no intelligence value. The whole enterprise is pernicious, but apparently it's the price of civilization.

As an antidote to the paranoia for others, consider the sort of person who has to do this kind of thing as a job and whether they are the sort of person whose opinion you value.

GMaps changes their UI constantly, with what I perceive to be inconsistencies in what is one-tap accessible vs. hidden in the hamburger menu.

I use maps for more than just directions: I use it as a defacto search engine for finding local businesses, phone numbers and websites. It is a GUI for geo-search. I wish another search engine could recreate it effectively.
I'm inclined to agree with this after bumping the video up to max quality. I do believe that this is real, and you can see from 0:51-1:05 that there's some reflections going on that would be a lot trickier to fake. But this footage has a similar quality to what I see in a lot of heavily processed drone footage, where it just doesn't look like the same way I see the world.
When we do an Intro to Backpacking weekend as part of our Spring hiking program, we tend to go in a relatively short distance to a lake/pond or something along those lines. And then will do one or two day hikes from there. This gives plenty of time to experiment with gear, setting up/breaking down camp, and so forth without the time pressure of having to get to some destination. (But you still get a sense of pack weight and so forth.)

Why not? Are you saying you distrust the folks who were interviewed?

Did you read the article? If so, what then was your take on it?

[EDIT: um, also, I believe it is right and ethical to feel outrage about racism, so I appreciate journalism which points it out and discusses it. And; the article was a lot more nuanced than “driving outrage about racism.” That’s a pretty shallow interpretation - the article is clear about the complications of the kind of “outing” that occurred and shared multiple views about it. I think maybe your implication was that said racism does not exist in this case? Feel free to explain more about what you meant :)]
Well violent media and violent video games can both cause violence? Just cause violent media already existed doesn't mean violent video games don't still cause violence.

There's been a notable push in the UK over the last several years to reduce alcohol consumption guidelines. There have been well-established medical professionals that have argued that the correct "daily limit" is zero, but this has been shot down for a variety of reasons (lobbying is likely one of them, but not the only one). Although the UK does put alcohol consumption at the center of social life, civic institutions there really are pushing to significantly reduce the "norms".

"that requires rockets"

I'm curious about these absolute claims. Can a heavy mass object moving more slowly entangle a faster object to reduce velocity.

Can solar sails be used to reduce or change orbits?

Magnetic fields?

Physical characteristics and profile of sat vs orbit?

Put in a decaying orbit that is only maintained by a thrusters?

Very interesting to hear that the only way to slow something down is with rockets. Not atmo drag. No mag drag. No solar pressure etc.
Sounds impressive. But please allow me to rant here:

> are more accurate

Can we please stop using “accurate” as an adjective for models, especially when reporting on studies?

There are many other more telling metrics. Let’s start with precision and recall, and diagnostic ability. “Accuracy” tells nothing about the quality of a model.

This is true in board games. German board games rarely involve combat or taking over territory. Where there are lots of classic American board games with these themes.
Oh - I may have missed a part of the post but the impression I got was that the resources / actions listed didn’t include the kind of accredited degrees which look good on a resume and that employers often care about. Like the online courses and such - few employers (I think?) put a lot of weight in those, especially relative to a decent college or university.

Forgive me if I missed something.

Cars are one. Feeling like my kids aren't as 'street smart' is another - but that is on me.

Anecdotally, I see a lot more obviously mentally ill people on the streets than when I was a kid. Crime in general is more prolific in my area than when I was a kid (Sonoma County, CA).

I'm not saying my anxiety is rational, or that the stats back up my anecdotes - I am merely stating my perceptions.
I'm in a similar situation left ear is better than normal for my age (46M), but my right ear has profound loss (ie: nothing, falls to 80 dB) above 2kHz. Since it's profound amplifying hearing aids won't do a damn thing (apart from possibly damaging the hearing for the good part).

I've thought about looking at if there are frequency shifting hearing aids or even just earpieces to shift some of those higher frequencies into my hearing range of the right ear.

I haven't spent too much digging deeper into it - since I'm completely functional at normal levels, however whispering by anyone and low volume female voices on my right side are completely lost. I typically do that "speak to my good ear" contortion. Or just sit in the corner of the table or sit to the right in other conversations.
Not aware of evidence that vaccination stops or reduces spread. Given that asymptomatic and presymptomatic people are the main spreaders, it's certainly not a given.

Vaccinating front line health and care workers does make sense for two reasons

1) Far more likely to catch it

2) Far more problematic if they catch it and are off ill because of it

Other front line workers like police probably less important -- less likely to catch it, and not as problematic if large numbers are off ill as the people who fix it. Saving lives and reducing load on hospitals by vaccinating the over 70s is likely more beneficial.

I don't see what options Intel has to dramatically increase their future profits and thus market capitalization, even if an activist gives them a kick up the butt.

Option 1: Strip mine the company. This is more of the traditional PE/activist play. Once you stop spending all those R&D dollars, then Intel could extract a lot of profits from the x86 over the next decade or so. But this is only a short-medium term play. All mines run out of gold eventually.

Option 2: Split the Fab and design (x86) business. I'm not sure this helps that much, I think x86 is F'ed even if it could use the TSMC fabs. This is what AMD is already doing. The major important players (Apple, Amazon, MS, Goog) want to go ARM and then maybe RISC-V for their own strategic reasons anyway.

Option 3: Spend unheard of amounts of money to try and win back a process advantage over TSMC. This would entail spending tens of billions of dollars to basically make a bet that might pay off. It would be fun to watch, but success is not guaranteed, or even likely.

Is there an option 4?

It's a mistaken position to believe sharing "how to" information somehow mints cybercriminals

How so? I wouldn't have gotten into phreaking in the 80's without Phrack.

In 11 years of using it, I've never seen AWS increase the price for a service whose cost inputs they controlled entirely. It can happen, though. They increased AWS Pinpoint costs because their cost to send SMSes in India increased by 25% due to a regulatory action that increased the price for all SMS traffic in India.

Often, AWS's prices are _really_ high for new services. I think this is useful for two reasons: it ensures your early adopters are those who get the most value, and it gives you a big buffer when discovering how much it actually costs to operate. This usually guarantees that prices have only one way to go. For example, AWS IoT Device Management had a 90% price cut after it was introduced.

The best job I ever had was working on computer-aided engineering software. It was a difficult job that you did with a ton of really bright people, it paid quite well, and it was very low stress.

The only gotcha is you can't really transfer those skills into other jobs, and the market for computational physics is rather sparse.

The US has FIPS enforced at federal level. FIPS tells you not only what ciphers are allowed, but also how you're going to compile your SSL libraries and in which environment. It's typically way behind practical recommendations in real world.

It means YouTube believes that advertisers don't want to advertise, or that journalists are running hit pieces on the vertical.

Good point.

That said, lots of things are hard :). Which I don’t think you’re necessarily disagreeing with.
My bet is they consider Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea well within their sphere of influence (and control), so no urgency there.
To clarify - often videos will have ads on them prior to being demonetized. My understanding is that when this happens, YT keeps all of the ad revenue and the creator sees none. Over time this is a lot of money I am sure.
Sincere. The NY Times, WaPo, NPR and even CNN have not let much get past them. It's a meme that they're terrible because they made a few mistakes in thousands of pages of reporting. For the most part, they have dug deep and gotten tons of information to light. Information that amateur opinion writers on platforms like Substack can't match. Even the slightly outsider orgs like ProPublica or The Intercept are doing their work via professional newsrooms with editors. I don't recall ever seeing a major story be broken by a blogger or newsletter writer.
