"Twilio put out at midnight last night. In that Press Release, Twilio accidentally revealed which services Parler was using. Turns out it was all of the security authentications that were used to register a user. This allowed anyone to create a user, and not have to verify an email address, and immediately have a logged-on account.

Well, because of that access, it gave them access to the behind the login box API that is used to deliver content -- ALL CONTENT (parleys, video, images, user profiles, user information, etc) --. But what it also did was revealed which USERS had "Administration" rights, "Moderation" rights.

Well, then what happened, those user accounts that had Administration rights to the entire platform... The hackers, internet warriors, call it what you will, was able to use the forgot password link to change the password. Why? Because Twilio was no longer authenticating emails. This meant, they'd get directly to the reset password screen of that Administration user."

I'm not from the US, but as an outsider, this leaves a really bad taste with how Twilio handled the situation AS A BUSINESS.

The concept people would vilify automatic braking systems is horrifying. They, like GPS mapping save countless lives.

It was surprising the BBC article actually was neutral, it was a pleasant surprise. The council realised their interesting mistake and fixed it. But it would be nice to see the BBC going to neutral good and mentioning the lives saved and other measures councils can do to improve these technologies.
Okta is a large, enterprise identity provider. I doubt in the case of a right-wing site existing they'd give out access to that provider on purpose? Did they mess up? I can't find any details about it yet.

I didn't find anything. I did show that Trump is surprisingly clean. Maybe because of lacking ability, but unusually clean for a president. Cleaner than Biden in case of Ukraine for example, even if Trumps dealings are self-serving.

Furthermore Bidens dealings are relevant to the US geopolitical ambitions and the censorship of it was a disgrace for the press. It keeps people uninformed, even if presentation of these issues is difficult for any news network.

Small half-joke: Only two words into the front page post I already hit a UX issue! (and a UI inconsistency)

> This week (KWin’s compositing code was almost totally rewritten...)

I then instinctively went on to the top of the article to check on the date, to get an idea of when was "this week" for the author... but there is no date. Oh, well :-)

Opening the post itself (instead of reading from the main page) does indeed change the UI and it now happens to show the date.

Loved the irony...

This all shows that even for people dedicated to it, getting UI/UX right is hard.
I found it sometime last year, looking for data on a Philips video IF processing chip, I thought about posting it. Great site from an interesting guy, a rather sad history of the decline of electronics manufacturing in western europe though, death by bean counters.

I believe 'Barcode Scanner' was potentially one of the first barcode scanners on Android. Been using it since Android 1.x on the ADP1.

Don't forget it is on the Google Play store too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.zxi...

There was a time when QR Code scanning was better in Android than iOS (native in iOS 11.x).

The "Google" way of scanning QR Codes is Google Lens, but it doesn't work offline :|
The data in the database comes from a bidimensional matrix (LMNE) where leucocytes are classified on resistivity on one axis and light absorption (?) on the other. (I wonder how they managed the separation by absorption... indirectly via centrifugation ?) So I guess not really histological ?

Looks like it's a new model, I have no idea if they already have any ML models yet. There's also some database work.

I'm finishing a Masters degree in Computational Physics, so Linear Algebra and Probability shouldn't be an issue. (We also have an Image Processing and Analysis course.) I guess that's why they contacted us despite the fact that we don't have any ML training ?

Yeah, this is basically what I thought to do, but thank you for your advice !

How would disabling Twilio disable authentication entirely? From what I see it is used to send SMS and maybe Email as well. So I could understand that it would prevent login, registration and password reset if that service is offline, but it shouldn't allow any of these without authentication.

Unless the software skipped authentication entirely when this service was unavailable, which I find hard to imagine. But that seems to be what is claimed right now.
> Goldman Sachs does a lot of work in erlang but mostly to limit turnover on the dev side - try getting a job if all you have on your resume is years of working with a language nobody else uses, you can do it but it’s going to take a lot more effort on your part.

My take on that is slightly different. Choosing a fairly esoteric language as a company reduces the amount of effort it takes to review applicants. Right now, if you post a job for python, you'll get thousands of applicants. You'll then need to filter them and a vast majority won't be able to code the most basic things.

Post a job advert for erlang, you'll get significantly less applicants because there are fewer erlang programmers. Also, no one learns erlang to “get a job in tech”, they learn erlang because they like it as language. In my experience, this means that on average erlang programmers will be better on average to python programmers.

I'm going to assume that if someone from Goldman Sachs leaves, they will try to find another erlang job, because that's what they enjoy programming in.
MATE's based on GTK, so it inherits all the GTK "features", last but not least, the v3 file chooser, which lost along the way the create new folder key binding, and the quick search by prefix (which now has to be inconveniently performed on the address bar).

Additionally, programs may rely on different GTK versions, which also makes things confusing. For example, Visual Studio Code and Firefox use GTK3.

Let me describe two situations:

1. Someone says "lets go attack the police" and then proceeds to go attack them.

If lying was illegal the entire political system would implode. What if you punished Bush and Blair for their lies about "weapons of mass destruction"? How would that look? Of course you need to allow the good guys to lie, when they are working for good causes like bombing third world countries.

Maybe. But there’s also been a bipartisan rebuke of Trump and his gang’s tactics.

For many Trump’s breaking of norms was funny, admirable or simply inept.

But when you play with fire (like telling people a fair election was in fact stolen) and people die, it’s not funny anymore.

I've always hated the thumbnail view. Always turned it off on all windows machines - it might be just me but it's harder to find what I'm looking for 80% of the time.

What's worse is that windows seems to find some sneaky way to turn it back on for some folders. Have multiple registry tweaks to show every folder in "details" mode that I have to run every couple of months for some reason to keep it that way!

Matrix is so technical because it's the website that explains the protocol behind it. Matrix is a protocol, more similar to IRC, you can access it with the client of your choice. This is our course how all of the internet used to work until companies started making their own walled gardens :)

> yes I can understand why someone got in a fight

No, not "understand". Instead you implied that it would be justified and also acceptable.

In this situation I really would not consider you much different than the other side if you are attempting to say that the violence was justified and acceptable.

If you are saying that it was justified and acceptable, which your comment pretty clearly
seemed to imply, then I would consider the difference between you and "the other side" to be very small to the point where the difference doesn't matter that much.

That's pretty close to advocacy for violence to say that it was justified and acceptable.
It just a scare tactic to discourage the use of Parler. It's so poorly written that it sounds like a kid.

Oh yes, nice math you got there. But who is really on the other end?

Based on this definition (and ignoring others such as enumerated duties) the Congress has been involved with seditious conspiracy whenever they block passage of a bill. However, since that is part of the job, it's ok. What is NOT ok is for elected officials to incite dissent and encourage blockage of government functions... which many Democrats have been doing in the same way Trump did (via Twitter) for longer than we have had Trump. And which also let to riots with violence, along with occupying and/or destruction of federal and state buildings and property. And encouraged - praised! - by the very politicians crying about it today.

And one thing it finally explained to me: why for certain contracts ($BIG_BANK_LTD SQL) I just stopped working when I had no interest in the project.

And it's crazy - I was on £££ per day and just COULD NOT do the work from lack of interest. Insane. I had to resign even though I knew this was an irresponsible thing to do.

For a year or two I actually switched to working as a care assistant in a home for the elderly. Then when I started a shift I just had to do my 12 hours shift - no scope for just freezing and not doing the work.

That would be extremely careless, and I find it very hard to believe that this happened.

An unlikely, but more plausible option to me would be that after removal of the Parler account, someone else was able to register the same account and gain access that way. But that doesn't fit the description all that well, and I'd also expect that this would not work at all if the authentication service is not very careless.
Agreed! My experience from (adult) summer camps etc is that after 50 or so it becomes impossible to know what's everyone up to, and distrust starts rooting.

Another issue is that people have unrealistic idea about what can and should be done in a day/week/month. They don't care about their own work nearly that much, and will forgive themselves a lot, but will expect others to upheld that unrealistic standard.
> What materials are they using?

"Just Have a Think" put out a video about this recently [1]. The project he reports on claims 30MW with 4MW available within 3s for frequency stabilization and the weight is not solid concrete (emissions penalty), but rather compressed refuse that otherwise cannot be recycled (coal ash, demolition debris).

The friction would occur as long term tensile strength durability of lifting cables and high torque electrical hoists, which are the primary material penalties. But these things may be relatively cheap to produce and rotate out of service as their known operational lifetime approaches (Tesla has designated labor that changes out public charger cables within a reasonable buffer before they are expected to wear out).

Trying to make sense of it, I believe that means Parler was delegating their email verification and 2fa checks to Twillio. And somehow, without access to Twillio's API, they defaulted to not do any check at all? I'm not sure what to do of this, that doesn't sound that realistic but who knows.

>According to tons of leading economists, we can make a steadily rising fee on carbon emissions economically sustainable and politically viable by returning the net revenue from the fee to households as carbon dividends.

Anyone who did a little research knows that a market based solution like carbon taxes is going to solve the problem very effectively. The concept is very simple. Calculate how much damage a ton of CO2 is causing and tax companies so that they pay for the damage they caused. In some cases it is easier to treat the damage. In others it is easier to reduce the damage. The market gets to decide what is most efficient.

The problem is that there are lots of people who are not deep in the subject who believe that it is just a money grab or that if you are going to give them the money back they would prefer no taxation in the first place.

This has lead to Germany introducing a carbon price instead of a carbon tax. The difference? You're not getting your money back. People's allergy to taxes backfired. Kind of ironic.

Taxing CO2 emissions of imports is another problem. You would have to introduce tariffs to nudge big foreign polluters to implement their own CO2 tax.

No, this isn't true.

You can check the polling.

This is not a 'sided comparison'.

Donald Trump is purposely claiming a mass election fraud, full well knowing it's a complete lie.

For gosh sake, he was on the phone with Georgia election officials, threatening them to overturn the results for him and publicly demanded that Mike Pence commit Sedition by throwing the election for him.

Not only does this have nothing to do with 'the other side' (i.e. Clinton) - there's no comparable in American history.

Every intelligent person knows this, especially Republicans, it's just a matter of how many are willing to go along with him because of the benefits it may bring, or the fear they have of being turned on.
>If the "assortative mating" hypothesis were correct it would mean that in the past people with ASD would have been having children with normies, for lack of a better word, and then due to some vague advancement in society are now instead choosing to mate with people who have more similar traits to themselves.
