It barely does not affect the price - every dealer still want it's cut and you are stuck to your digital platform provider anyway..so pay up.

And individuals can refer to the books anyway..so what's th point?

So what happens if you use a Deterministic Password Generator and there is a security breach in one of the websites that you use and the password is leaked? Can you generate a new password for that website? If this requires adding a parameter to password generator, like --iter 2 for example, how do you remember the parameter for each website?
Why do you use VPN opposed to just TLS? Transportation wise it should be as secure or am I mistaken?

As for petrol vehicules I assume once passed a certain level of EV they will become harder to fuel and maintain because petrol vehicule services will no longer be profitable and will disappear.
I have come to think that the key point of cutting down on this browsing addiction was to have something better and more interesting to do. Something you can show to friends or to yourself afterwards, some tangible and original, whatever that is (from a GitHub project to a sculpture or an article on an interesting topic). It might just be, in the end, a motivation problem.

As argued by many in the comments section, forceful, explicit counter-measure (like hiding your phone or installing a block app) can be good temporary solutions but aren't efficient in the long-term. The problem may live deeper in ourselves, as some fundamental lack -- my point is maybe we're inclined to do this because we're kind of lost as regards to what really drives us.
[ed: completely missed that this is macOS, not iOS, so much of the criticism here isn't valid]

Wouldn't have to force Apple to put it on their store store if they allowed third-party stores.

These devices aren't just phones, in fact the phone is the minor function these days. They're computers in fact and in the marketing copy, yet Apple exerts monopoly power[1] to capriciously decide what may run on the device that I bought, paying upwards ofa thousand dollars for[2].

[1] in terms of app revenue iOS is dominant. Apple is able to dictate usurious and abusive terms and vendors are effectively forced to capitulate due to the size of the market they control.

[2] I don't actually have an iPhone despite the superiority because of this, but couching it in third-person terms is awkward.

It's worth pushing back against bad and disagreeable rules.
Antitrust legislation is decades out of date to properly handle the modern tech oligopoly of trillion-dollar corporations that rule our lives.

That's the root of the issue, and why saying "it's a private company" is not a good defense in context.

I think this is a pretty basic capability of most decent DPMs. LessPass for example gives you a counter option to increment and spit out a completely different password for X month update.
"Culture" ?

Culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside their natural environment.

Yeah, but viruses are not cells.
Your argument is the same as saying "but they don't have any money, they only have 65238 metric tons of gold".
Money doesn't have any intrinsic value either. You might as well say "societal power" instead of "wealth", and you get the same outcome.
These people have a grotesque amount of influence over everything.

As I said, even if you'd just destroy all their wealth/power, you'd still get a better society, because politicians wouldn't constantly try to do the bidding of these people and instead tackle the real problems that we have.
Passwords are soon going to become obsolete.

The future is when each session has its own non-extractabld private key, encrypted and stored locally. Across apps on the same device you use OAuth essentially. Across devices you scan QR codes to authenticate other sessions and grant permissions to them. Keys never leave your device.

Your keychain would essentially be a small blockchain that is decrypted on clients (think Keybase). You could remember one password, and send the rest using Shamir Secret Sharing to N friends. If you ever need to recover your account you have to get M of N friends plus your password. That way if you’re kidnapped you can lock yourself out fo your phone and legitimately claim that M of N friends have to agree to participate.

And btw ... phone numbers and even emails will eventually become obsolete, because you will be able to just authorize notifications to the user’s browser or app instead, and receive a client ID which you can use to send notifications - while the user will be able to manage them (unlike email SPAM) and everyone will be able to run their OWN bots to automatically parse notification data and act on it (unlike trusting Google to parse your email so they BBC can extract flight tickets etc).

In fact, notification delivery would be encrypted with the user’s public keys, and users may choose not to receive the notifications right away (as this will expose their anonymity to timing attacks, and also makes them dependent upon Apple/Google to deliver the “last mile”).

And even DNS will become obsolete as we will have non-human-readable addresses for resources on the Web, with DHT replacing federated databases like DNS. People will realize that document metadata (titles, icons) is cached locally or on search engines anyway, and that DNS is just a glorified search engine for root URLs, a tiny subset of URLs.

The result: no central servers, no domains, no cookies and no accounts. Just cryptocurrency paying for use of resources. People’s contacts in this new system would essentially contain resources on some DHT. People would choose whether to prove to their contacts they control private keys A and B, instead of having Telegram or Facebook announce that their friend joined. It would be totally decentralized and users would be in control.

Prediction for 2040
How I've seen it work in the past, it'll totally work with GI (and more generally, raytracing). If the frame to be rendered is CPU bound rather than I/O (because of heavy scenes), the whole project would be farmed out to the works, so they have a full copy of what's to be rendered, then resize which part of the frame to be rendered by them. Normally this would happen locally, and if you have 8 CPU cores, each one of them get responsible for a small size of the frame. Now if you're doing distributed rendering, replace CPU core with a full machine, and you have the same principle.

Obviously doesn't work for every frame/scene/project, only if the main time is spent on actual rendering with CPU/GPU. Most of the times when doing distributed rendering, CPU isn't actually the bottleneck, but rather transferring the necessary stuff for the rendering (project/scene data structures that each worker needs).
I've seen this a few times. Terrible code but successful company. The companies could not have afforded better programmers. Instead of seed funding they funded with debt, technical debt.

The hardest part is explaining to the owners why it's so expensive to fix everything. They don't understand how it was so cheap to build yet so expensive to maintain.
Hi!
Regarding `Read 10 Books`.
I would recommend "Andy Oram, Greg Wilson - Beautiful Code (2007, O'Reilly)". It's a personal favourite.
"to is dispensing advice on how to handle and escape from predator"

No - his advice of 'applying assertion' is definitely wrong in this context, where the advice should be 1) leave or 2) bend like a reed in the wind and avoid avoid avoid. Reacting to antagonizing - even if the victim knew how to do it, would likely yield more blowback - and more likely, the victim would have no idea how to assert themselves.

The situation is not like 'physical assault' where you have nothing to lose from fighting back.

Inability to pushback is not a function of decision or character, it's a function of the crazy power dynamic.

If the victim had US citizenship, it would have been much easier to hold ground, for example.
That just says that Ocelot consumes quite a bit of your latency budget. Maybe the features it brings are worth it to you, but it's def not anywhere close to the limit of what's achievable.

e.g. Envoy (which replaced Ocelot in Microsoft's .net microservice reference architecture) has a significantly lower latency cost (1)

Your reference to an Amazon reward is interesting as it's quite easy to get pages to load under 10ms in the right conditions. Perhaps you can provide a link to more information?

If your case is a simple misunderstanding, sure, it's possible that they will reverse course. They aren't impossible to deal with, and if it's clear they have made some obvious mistake they will generally quickly resolve the issue. However, the moment ambiguity comes up I have found that the people they send to talk to you don't have the necessary context or authority to really tell you what is going on behind the scenes, and the process moves forward so slowly that you risk hitting the deadline they give you. At that point you have few options but to go public, after which they will get back to you immediately with a fairly sane explanation of what the actual problem was or perhaps an apology if they were wrong.

Former WASP magazines and cultural venues “discover” black artists after all this years only because they’re black, nothing about their art, nothing about their inner feelings and everything that might be artist/related that it’s not in some way or another related to said artists’ “blackness”. It’s Get Out (the movie) taken to the next level.
Force them to sell.
If there isn't actually the demand at that valuation, then then it's a bubble anyways, that should be popped sooner than later.

Also, at that point, you shure as hell diversify your assets, instead of having them all in a single privately held company.

That's why we need a transaction tax on stock combined with tax breaks on stocks that have societal value, together with a ban on all derivatives. Stock markets need to be first order long term srategy crowdfunding again like they were originally invented as. Otherwise computers will just chase the next peofitable microsecond and CEOs will juse try to optimise the next quarter.
The only situation when BTRFS breaked badly to me, was when we run guests on Hyper-V .
That is the same guy that wrote "They want us to be compliant, not secure" which was equally bad.

What is wrong with this blogpost:

* Posing as an authority, without any real credentials (so just rando ranting on the internet, writing that someone worked in "regulated area" is not convincing me)

* Stating whole "advice" as absolute truth without considering any other use cases, upsides

* Assuming "password manager" is synonymous with "cloud password manager" while presenting offline one at the begining

* Stating whole post as an absolute advice, if it would be titled "Way I am handling my password" or "My solution for passwords" I would have no problem with it

Biggest flaw is not considering any threat model and "security LARPing" while writing like it would come from an expert.

> but according to our government you may lose your citizenship if you commit an act of treason

If you read the applicable provision of law—8 USC Sec. 1481(a)(7)—you have to not only commit an act of treason, but do so “with the intention of relinquishing United States nationality” in order to lose citizenship.

As long as you still want to be an American, albeit a traitorous one, you don't lose your citizenship just for being a traitor.

(And, it also requires conviction of the treason by a court martial or competent court, so if the government wants to give effect to this, it literally not only have to get a hold of the person, try and convict them of treason, and then prove additionally the intent to relinquish citizenship. At which point the last bit is quite likely to be moot.)
In this case, of course, the software could have been distributed outside of the store since the platform was macOS. As such, much of the issue was that Apple claims to apply their rules fairly and sanely on their store, and it was clear that this was not happening.

Webauthn is a step in that direction. When you write "soon", how many years do you forecast it will take to get to there for the vast majority of the sites you are using in a web browser? My bet is no less than five, probably more than ten and I'm pretty sure I'll keep using some password until I die.
> So Sally should maybe have a right to refuse to sell to anyone other than the end consumer. But that seems trickier.

Maybe restaurants should defend themselves from that by not selling some dishes in transportable packaging. Maybe 'delivery' companies wouldn't be so eager to put those dishes on the menu if they had to provide the container themselves and scoop the dish into it from a plate?
As far as I can tell, that’s for 1,000 IU. You’d have to take 50 pills per week to achieve the dose described here. That would be more like $3/wk.
The french central administration has about 65k cars. Total public sector number of cars is about 200-400k according to:

https://www.lefigaro.fr/societes/2017/12/12/20005-20171212AR...

From what I can see I'd say public sector impact on EV sale is insignificant (36k just in december).

Also in France about half of sales are to fleet buyers, and those were up to now quite conservative and buying very little electric vehicules. I assume this will start to change soon.

I'm not the author for either project, but my impression from some tests has been that hand pose is obviously better information, but fickle. There's simply a limitation of how well a camera operating in the visible light range can do (especially if the palm is not facing the camera). If you don't need to match the image to a hand pose, then just tracking the hand position is going to be more accurate for that.

I'm not hip to the js world. Is there a common pattern for offloading the compute heavy parts of a js workload to a server somewhere? I'd totally just leave my pc running so it could do the heavy lifting for my mobile devices if that meant better battery life.

Rebuttal of David Karger’s Defense of Cancel Culture
This isn't a civil liberties issue, it is an antitrust issue.

Companies that produce good products and market them well accrue power. At some point the incentives change, and the company starts to squeeze locked in customers, suppliers etc. who have nowhere else to turn to. In order to maintain a healthy market economy the government is forced to handicap the 'winner' by splitting them up, enforcing regulations, etc.

We've already seen Google prepare for this with Alphabet; Facebook went the other direction, integrating their acquired subsidiaries to make such a breakup technically difficult.

Microsoft narrowly escaped a breakup in the early 00's but with the new surveillance capitalism companies I see much bigger market threats and winner-take-all power than Microsoft had then. If you look at Apple, they are much harder to compete with than Microsoft was due to their complete vertical integration. At some point the government needs to step in and restore market balance, some way or another, or the entire small business and hobby side which is the seed for the next generation of technological innovation will die before it can really be born.
The military is responsible for killing the people in the list, but from what we know they do not control who the targets are. That is a process that goes on in DC and ultimately just a few (perhaps one) civilians control the database, who is in it, and their "disposition".

There were a few claims that as a court they could not rule on and dismissed (like whether he was a proper target on the battlefield), but a few big questions remain. Is there due process around the kill/capture database, and does it violate free speech and press if someone can land in it for interviewing enemy soldiers?

These questions (which might not even have difficult answers) remain open because the government wouldn't turn over evidence.

Even with the parts about "targeting decisions in a warzone" and the like settled, the open issues here are pretty important.
Thanks for the advice. I did stick to one style while learning. You say a month every weekend but that's just 4 lessons. I had 16 salsa lessons over 4-5 weeks and made no progress. The swing lessons were later.

That doesn't mean I won't try again though
Many comments here point out Medicaid and Medicare. What about sick pay? In most EU countries you can keep large fraction of your salary until you are able to work again. And what about parental leave? It is another benefit most Europeans enjoy. Finally vacations I get 30 days stress free vacation per year. I might be wrong but are there alternatives for these in the US?

Yesterdays comments are understandable;
The only reason Apple is now slightly changing their attitude (in my humble opinion), is because they (and other big tech) are facing a lot of antitrust probes by European Commission and the like... finally! Hopefully the big-tech monopolies will end sometime soon.
Not only is this completely ludicrous (the latter part of they can’t work together), I don’t think most Apple customers would want this, only its competition.

Making it illegal to be successful and give customers what they want sure seems to to be a winning economy policy?
Maybe restaurant could timestamp food on packaging so customer doesn't blame them for late delivery?

True, but really if they hire a foreigner, that must be a different position that natives are not capable of. If you are a native and asking something even legal according the law (like double payment for working in weekend), your boss could fire you and there're plenty of people want that job. Also suing that company for wrongful termination takes much time and effort, many blue collar workers even do not know how to do it. With all being said, the working condition is getting better comparing that decades ago, but it's not because of government, it's only because the economy are growing and it takes more money to hire people.

Missed that it was macOS, thanks for pointing that out. Agreed that in that case it's more an issue of inconsistency.
It doesn’t seem like they controlled for any other variable at all - even time. From the paper: “Various literature databases like PubMed and Google Scholar were searched to find the mean of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in different states and union territories of India”. I would have to assume not all those studies were done at the same time.

This would maybe be a great elevator pitch to get some resources. Not sure if that’s the intent.

Relatedly, have there been proper double-blind studies for vitamin d injections & COVID outcomes? I would guess there’s not a lot of interest given other substances that have better “method of action” hypotheses. Or maybe it’s just lack of funding (hence we see an article like this every month or so)?

Google has a slight possibility. Facebook larger.

Apple is not a monopoly and has not been anticompetitive by any historic or contemporary legal definition. So no, it won’t get broken up any time soon.

You might see markers get regulated (eg. Mobile app stores) but that’s not antitrust, that’s legislation.
I agree in that if I really have something to do then I'll do it. I got into some personal project in October and worked 6-12 hours a day on it for 3 weeks. I wasn't distracted by HN.
