Security flaws are not created the same. Mostly they are hypothetical. A buffer can over flow and smash the stack, but what then?

A security flaw that costs a million dollars to find and has very little chance of being actually used is not worth finding. But when you start looking, you do ot what you will find.

WHAT IS IT?

I clicked the link and still don't have any idea what it actually is?

It says my own private server. Is it some kind of docker thing, or is it like ESXi? Is it a specific kind of server?

The site says 'Easy to manage, privacy oriented home server'. Does this mean its a debian based distro? Or is it a how-to on building a server from parts?

It is non obvious what this thing is. or why it's called freedombox when it's actually named plinth?

How does it make you free? what restrictions are there on other distros? Am i about to find out that support is through parlor?

> How do you have any form of political donation without it being labeled a bribe under this way thinking?

You could:

- Not have political donations at all (many countries run this way)

- Have very strict accounting on political donations so they go the party, not the individual

- Force politicians / elected representatives to wear the logos of the companies that are paying them so it's more transparent.

The first step to fixing a problem is to identify there is a problem at all. As the article says, most have become to numb to this because it's seen as normal.
Ex-NSA man Aitel again clashes with NYT over cyber attack article
I'm sure this is due to my beginner status in ML/DL, but I'm really disappointed in how much deep learning seems removed from the things that I enjoyed the most in statistical learning.

I enjoy the creative challenge of applying domain knowledge when building (for example) linear or bayesian regressions. In contrast, DL seems like a whole bunch of hyperparameter tuning and curve plotting. Curious to see if this assessment seems correct from those more experienced...

Well, the party platform of the DNC is solidly anti-gun. The DNC is not the left, but I’m not sure the left is the the left either. ;)

It would suffice to say though that if you assume a democrat politician supports gun control either by personal conviction or the nature of caucusing, you would be right 95+% of the time. It is as much of a shame that a democrat majority is de facto hostile to gun rights as it is that the NRA hitched its wagon to unrelated culture issues.

Taxonomies of Visual Programming (1990) [pdf]
To the comments that discredit the article for "bringing race into" the discussion, it's worth noting that:

1. the author is not white, nor lives in a place where white people are any sort of majority.

2. politics has largely been dominated by white people for much of America's history, so it's likely fair that these patterns were started and perpetuated by white people.

3. the author doesn't exempt non-white politicians from scrutiny (i.e. Obama doesn't get a pass).

4. it doesn't make his points any less valid, which is where the merit of this post lies.
The OP's definition of "work" went beyond whether the AirPods connected directly to the Apple Watch:

>As in, if I leave my phone at home, will I be able to stream music and calls from my watch to my AirPods while I go for a run?

For my response, I assumed two things:

(1)"Streaming music" meant listening to music that is not stored on the device.

(2) "Calls from my watch to AirPods" meant that during a run, OP was not in constant range of a remembered, open WiFi network.
This article seems to use a lot of misleading language.

Like: "The US Treasury Secretary, for example, has taken $7.2 million in ‘speaking fees’ from the people she’s supposed to be regulating."

Not mentioned is that the speaking fees were prior to her being the US Treasury Secretary. They were all after she left her post at the Federal Reserve, and before becoming the Treasury Secretary.

There are a few industrial processes used to convert magnesium oxide to metal, for example the Pidgeon process (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pidgeon_process) which I still remember learning about in my Materials Science undergrad in Toronto.

I suspect some variation of these processes could convert the spent fuel back to metal and then the hydride form or something like that.

Is there a non-wristband "mount" for an Apple Watch ?

Which is to say, if I wanted to carry an apple watch in my pocket, and didn't want the sort of lame, and unifinished, aesthetic of bare/empty band connectors ... is there some pendant or medallion or ... something ... that you can attach the watch to that isn't a wristband ?

OH, AND ALSO ...

The op speaks of the necessary iphone that he leaves in his drawer, at home, like a router ... now that we have apple silicon, etc., can I run my "iphone" on a mac mini, in an emulator ? I mean, if you were developing apps, etc., for Apple Watches, or doing Q&A, you wouldn't have 50 iphones somewhere, right ? RIGHT ?

> If people who were not gun owners are buying guns, then the % of people who owns guns is increased.

That's not true. Because people who own guns can stop being gun owners, too, both through giving up gun ownership—volintarily or not—and death. There's always some share of gun purchases that go to new gun owners, but the trend in gun ownership for at least 50 years has been:

1. Smaller number of households with guns.

2. Smaller number of individual adults with guns (though not by as much as #1, as the average number of adult gun owners per gun owning household has gone up.)

3. Larger number of guns per gun owning household.

4. Larger number of guns per gun owner (though not by as much as #3, for pretty similar reasons as the relationship between #2 and #1.)

Gun ownership is becoming a narrower subculture, and within families within that subculture gun ownership is becoming more universal, and to involve more guns per owner. Guns have become the “bling” of a shrinking subculture.
No, the main issue is that people are working their ass off to make the world economy work and get increasingly smaller crumbs of their pie while others create enormous amounts of money out of thin air. It is not inequality, it is the delta of it!

Ill do you one better than inequality! If we continue the line and see where this is heading you end up with a fully automated economy serving those who hold the money. These will increasingly be non human entities. They might employ some people but those won't be making decisions that matter.

Try look at it like this: Do you think anyone working at Apple in the US (earning 100 k on average) actually approves of those Indiers getting 6 dollars per month? You'd be lucky to find just one employee who has to ponder the question. Something like, "hummmm.... wait didn't we have 200 billion in savings? Yeah... uhh I think there is room for 7 dollars in the budget?"

Thus, even if no one in the company could approve it it still happens. If 6 can happen 5 can happen too! As soon as we sign our world over to the automatons you don't have to expect some hindsight way of clawing our way back into decision making.

Those 200 people have very little room to do anything sensible. Their job is to expand profits at the expense of whatever.
My answer as an interested layman but not an expert:

Yes this is a huge concern, which is why attention is being paid to how these satellites will de-orbit.

Up to maybe 10 years ago satellites were just put up there and at best would move out of the way a bit when they reached end of life, but most would just stay. Plus lots of things were just discarded from mission, or lost accidentally, creating more junk. All of this made space junk a big and growing concern...

However, now everyone is very aware, so satellites have de-orbiting built in (and I think this might be a legal requirement now), orbits may be chosen with ease of de-orbiting in mind, more care is taken to letting junk accumulate, several companies are working on clearup mechanisms, etc. All this may mean that the worst-case scenario doesn't ever actually play out, and it's not that big a deal in the long run.

We'll have to wait and see, but there will be a lot of money behind making this as little of an issue as possible so that the space industry can really take off.
The College Board Is Eliminating the SAT Essay and Subject Tests
"The College Board announced today that it is getting rid of the optional SAT essay and subject tests and working on plans to offer a digital version of the main SAT. In a press release, the New York City-based nonprofit that owns the tests describes the changes as an effort to “reduce demands on students.” It says the pandemic has “accelerated a process already underway” to make changes.

But as Forbes reported in September, the College Board and its lone rival, Iowa City-based ACT, have taken a beating since schools went online in March. Numerous test centers have canceled exams, sometimes at the last minute, angering students and families. Colleges have responded by adopting test-optional admissions policies. According to FairTest, a nonprofit watchdog organization, more than 1,600 schools are not requiring fall 2021 applicants to submit scores."
Not at all for Starlink. The orbits are low enough to decay within 5-10 years if they are left without station keeping. Remember, "space" does not start at the karman line, it is a continuous transition. Although, they have a license for satellites at ~1100 km altitude. Those would need active deorbiting.

The Starlink satellites are also designed to completely burn up in the atmosphere. This is one of the reasons why the first generation does not have laser-links, that was supposedly the hardest part to design fulfilling that criteria.

That's actually one of the advantages of their proposed lowering of the orbits, they need to think even less about end of life questions and redundancy.

Edit: See here for the continuous sweeping happening at lower orbits.

When everybody started to have mobile phones around me, I shelled out for a PDA (remember those?) instead and wanted to wait for those headsets to actually not need any phone anymore. I hoped the advent of the smartwatch would get us there, but alas. I have a smartphone now, because what else can you do, but I can't wait for the time that I can just voicedail or at least have my watch be the personal computing device. Carrying around a watch is so much beter than carrying around a phone, but Google makes me carry both! Plus headset/in ears!
Countries in Europe that are much whiter then the USA at this point have some of the lowest corruption on Earth. Countries in Europe that are much whiter then the USA at this point also have some very high levels. Maybe some variables besides white ethnicity are in play. Not that it matters in 2021 where saying "white people bad" can become a career.
I wonder what word people in Sri-Lanka use for corruption.
Except it hasn't been, instead places like China (the largest crypto mining market on the planet) has instead opted to open new coal plants to feed their state operated mining centers.
mankind is still foolishly building towers that are taller and taller.

USEABELE volume , not height , is what will determine which civilizations win the competitive struggle for existence over the next few thousand years.

We haven't even begun to build our first true megastructures yet. and we are still probably 30-60 years away from sufficient technological convergence to make them functionally competitive with modern mega-cities like new york or hong kong.

thing about that though, in 30-40 years we may have the technology to begin seriously designing a form of city that will make ALL other past cities, not merely obsolete, but quickly anachronistic.

in 300-400 years from now , it is quite likely none of the major cities of our current world exist as 'dominant cities'. , at least in any recognizeable form. if at all.NONE of them.

why? technological convergence of simulated reality with ever increasing methods of both engineering marvels, combined with software accounting systems that measure monitor and predict human suffering/pleasure as a function of living in a mega city for sustainable periods of time.

> that's incorrect. accidental shootings and suicide are major categories, while intentional homicides, of which "gang violence" is a subset, is pretty low on the list.

So you're saying that it is correct, because the combination of the two categories constitute the large majority of firearms deaths.

Suicides by themselves are the large majority of firearms deaths, granted. And accidental deaths would generally fall under the same "the purchaser would have passed the background check" issue.

The point was that people would expect the policy to make a difference in homicides. But the large category of homicides where background checks would be expected to be useful, i.e. career criminals, are the place where they don't happen, because career criminals are members of criminal organizations that can provide access outside of legal channels.
The usual definition of lobbying involves meetings with various interested 'stakeholders' who are not aiming for a vendor/customer relationship; sales meetings and tenders for goods or services are something separate than someone getting their word in about policy.

One other thing that surprised me in this article is the inclusion of "representatives of EU border control agencies to these meetings, but also international organizations such as Interpol, Europol and the OSCE, as well as representatives from countries known for their brutal border control policies" - I would definitely consider meetings with relevant state institutions from EU countries (which are partners of Frontex) and non-EU countries (which are generally doing equivalent functions as Frontex) as something entirely distinct from lobbying.

These complaints don’t seem to align with reality from what I can tell. The TARP “bailout” was one of the biggest, which taxpayers profited on. The nationalization of Fannie and Freddie was hugely expensive, but I don’t see how that can be called a bailout, since equity holders were wiped out. As the article states, the vast majority of the benefits of such programs come from driving confidence in the functioning of the system so markets don’t freeze up.

Moral hazard is a real thing, but it seems like the government walked the line pretty well during the crisis. What bailouts enriched private citizens at the expense of the public?
I recently spent 3 years driving right around Africa [1]. I spent almost a month in 35 separate countries, met countless interesting and thoughtful people and had all kinds of adventures.

Now I'm back in the Developed world (I toured North America, speaking about my trip and experiences) tons of people want to talk about what is "wrong" in Africa, and a very large percentage of people very quickly say the following two things:

- Africans are too lazy to help themselves.

- Africans are too corrupt, they're doomed.

NOTE: I categorically DO NOT agree with or support this thinking, and I try my hardest to dissuade it as much as I can. But in my experience many people in the developed world think this way. So to answer your question, yes, people blame the predominate race in non-white countries.

IRR is a common way of evaluating returns.
I’m not denying there’s a rational reason for an assault weapons ban, apart from a ban on handguns. (I might even support it, for the reasons you mention, if I didn’t believe that assault weapons—arms you could use in a militia capacity if necessary—are actually more protected under the second amendment than self-defense weapons like handguns).

But insofar as gun control advocates cite “gun violence” as a problem to be solved, lumping together both homicides and suicides, well handguns are the thing driving that and support for banning those, like in the UK or some other countries, is at historic lows.

Yeah, but pointing that out really upsets <race omitted> people.
1) Why does any of this matter? Perspective?

2) Sure, but are these patterns unique to white people? In America, sure, but what about corruption in Africa, China, Brazil, pick one.

3) Then why bring race into it? Surely saying something along the lines of 'white people are corrupt... But other races don't get a pass' is only inflammatory and does not help the discussion.

4) Sure, but you can have valid points and discuss them civilly. This article doesn't really attempt to do that, so why would I want to share the word? If the author wants people to take him seriously, he needs take optics into accounts.
