Agreed. It may also contribute to additional competitor comparisons. If I only have two weeks to evaluate something, I'm likely going to be much more thorough with competitive analysis in that time period.

On the other hand, if I have unlimited time then I will likely start with a pretty broad look at the available competitors and then once I've signed up for what appears to be the best option, I'll only look into competitors as I hit roadblocks.

> The model has not been published or peer-reviewed yet, but lead researcher, Jeffrey Shaman, an infectious disease specialist at Columbia University, shared the data exclusively with NPR. Here are more of the startling takeaways.

Is it responsible and ethical for them to share these data with the press prior to peer review? Why, or why not? What relevant factors would have to change for your answer to change? If a researcher said the pandemic was ten times less severe than commonly believed, would it be ethical for them to speak with the press before peer review?
I wonder how they are going to handle the Credit Karma Tax name?

According to this announcement [1] from 2020-12-03, Intuit has completed the acquisition of Credit Karma.

I logged in to Credit Karma today to do my taxes, and the tax link on the main page took me to tax.creditkarma.com where I found the familiar Credit Karma tax stuff, with a notice on the bottom of the page that says:

> Tax preparation services are provided by Credit Karma Tax, Inc. a subsidiary of Square, Inc.

So, it appears that Square is indeed now handling it, but it is still tied in with Intuit's Credit Karma. I wonder if that is just some transitory thing for the 2020 tax year and for 2021 it will be on a Square domain, and the Credit Karma mail site will link to TurboTax for tax prep instead?

I am actually suprised this was possible even in Mavericks. Using it since then...

Yes UI shows original address and existing connection will use existing address (ie not changed) But if you re-connect (turn off then on WiFi) it will use new one.

Weirdly "disconnect" was always using whatever set in the ifconfig. Meaning that I could "deauthenticate" other people by spoofing their address.
I actually know such person. That is exactly what happened - karma was supposed to be proxy for social status and mine was lower so I was supposedly not allowed to argue against that person.
I came to the same conclusion for my saas. instead of creating a free plan I made it dirt cheap. $1 per month. my service is an email forwarding so it is tough to deal with spam. if i attract too much free users i have to deal with a massive amount of spams. by not doing free plan i have more time to develop premium features.

another thing is free user will more likely look for other free solution and always a free solution will pop up. So it is really hard to compete. take gmail, how can you compete with google free offering？

>That’s because AMD could be making its own ARM-based chip. According to hardware leaker Mauri QHD, Intel is working on two M1 competitor chips. And these are apparently “almost ready.”

I'm confused whether they accidentally wrote "Intel" instead of "AMD", or if those two M1 competitor chips are something other than the AMD ARM chips mentioned just before.
The one-time fee is an e-stamp, basically. It makes having N identities N times as expensive as having one. It's one of the oldest anti-spam suggestions, from before spam filters were invented.

What you're talking about with that "license" is exactly what you get by everybody relying on a small set of KYC providers; except that the KYC provider doesn't charge you for registration, but instead requires a Proof-of-Stake in some state's legal system (i.e. a set of documents that require laborious up-front proofs to acquire, such that it's very hard to acquire two sets of them, but which can be used to validate identity freely once issued.)

KYC providers that just charge $100 instead of requiring a Proof-of-Stake challenge exist, too. That's essentially the (secondary?) purpose of businesses that will only trade with other incorporated businesses (or, to abstract that away, only with businesses that have a Dun & Bradstreet DUNS number): it costs $100 to incorporate, or to register one of those numbers, so you have to be at least $100 of serious to bother them, and you can't just keep spending hundred-dollar-bills forever to keep generating new identities to DDoS someone.

What I haven't heard of, interestingly, is a KYC provider that requires a proof of work. Something like "solve a thousand Captchas to create an account." Or a formalized version of the old "take a photo of yourself holding up today's newspaper." But that'd be totally workable as well.
He doesn't know how local variables are named, but what's needed for documentation is purpose and nature of the tool, and that's what engineers often don't know, because it doesn't help with bit fiddling. And a coding architect is an architect too.

Odd that the phrase "Swiss cheesing" is used. As it implies all Swiss cheeses have holes yet only a few do. Especially odd that in the United States "Swiss Cheese" refers to one specific cheese which is the Emmentaler [1] when there are so many different kinds of cheese in Switzerland.

Very thoughtful comment.

I’m an American living abroad and got US citizenship for my children. I constantly wonder if I made a mistake.

I do get some tax savings, and most of my income and assets are in the US so I save for them there. But I know the burden of having to file taxes and possibly pay them when they’re old enough is a heavy one.
So why aren't we hearing about someone being arrested?

Google knows who their devs are. Law enforcement can demand they give up that info.
> He is right in a sense, and cases like this give him proof, but on the other hand, most people don't see the point in patching their software.

We are not talking about patching. We are talking about updating.

> They'd just keep it around unpatched, while connecting it to the network. Is millions of vulnerable devices better than giving vendors of some software the ability to remotely patch their software?

Yes. Vendors do not patch their SW. For the average SW developer fixing bugs is like castor oil. Remember the forced transition from Win 7 to Win 10 when a good OS was replaced by an abomination ? And no, 10 is not better securitywise than 7. There are lot of RCEs in 10.
Did you ever play an EA game ? With Origin doing a 4GB update before playing ? On a 25 Mbps internet connection ?

So for me if you have a security patch for your sw i will apply it. Maybe after some buffer period in the case of known offenders (MS) depending on severity.
If it's "performance and usability improvements" just forgetit. If you did't bother to write a changelog for your SW i will not waste my time and money (an internet connection is not free ) updating it.
and I fear it.
with Big Sur though?
The last two paragraphs of your experiences ring within me as well. The “power” we give people over our well-being when socially anxious is absolutely unwarranted.
Israel is like that. Unless you own a business. If you’re a salaried employee you never have to file.
> The dominant strain of Covid in South Africa is different and existing vaccines are far less effective at countering due to changes in the spike protein which these vaccines target.

Only Johnson&Johnson data may say something about it for real. Novavax's investigation was underpowered (4000 people, wide confidence intervals), and this one is even more so.

The rest of the evidence comes from antibody neutralization assays in vitro, which although very useful they are not representative of the whole immune response.
I feel this is a bit of a stretch. Parler was positioned as a free speech fundamentalist so it never stood a chance when it came time to moderate content to stay in the good books of its vendors.

Otoh, seems to me that Tusk is "micro social" - a term I just invented - to socialize a page/concept amongst a smallish group of people. Unless that link leaks, how will the online trolls even find a page to tusk? And even if does, adding an auth layer on top of page tied to your identity should be relatively easy.

FD - I am working on a "public" micro-social offering as well (info in profile) so how Tusk addresses this is of interest to me.

There is little difference in maturity between a 17 year old and an 18 year old, and I would not consider either a child. And 17 year olds cannot be deployed.

Perhaps these don’t need to be lumped into a single tax return and can instead be handled independently by the appropriate institutions — brokerages deducting tax on investments, closing agents deducting tax on house sales, IRS mailing a check each year for dependents, and so on.

Sibling comments suggest that other countries successfully automate much of their taxes.
Instead of setting some random address in public networks, use someone else's address.

Many public networks in Turkey require registering with TCKN (national id number) due to some "laws".

I don't want some random guy to log my activity and tie it to me direcly.

In macOS tcpdump command has ability to "monitor mode" wifi card.

sudo tcpdump -Ie

Then I use someone who's idle but has legimitate connection.

Please note that those networks are not encrypted/secured at all. So anyone within range (or with large antenna) can essentially capture or inject something...
It kind of appears that the links are marked dead on arrival. Maybe like a shadow ban for bad behavior at some point.
> Every Google Play update prompt in My Apps has a description provided by the publisher.

I hate to reply like this but, the vast majority of Google Play app updates go something like this:

"Updates."

"Fixes"

"..."

Having genuine changelogs would be glorious.

Apple and Google should require proper source and issue management, they could then generate changelogs automatically. Having that, they could then use machine learning against the code commits and issue titles to ensure that what people say are happening, are actually happening in the code.

I mean we've got ML that can generate code from natural language, I'm sure the bright sparks at Google and Apple could use some ML to, with a high degree of probability, say that the code does what the comment/issue says it does.
They are most likely Chinese. I’ve been getting asked by Chinese accounts on LinkedIn to let them use my account to submit their apps on the Google Play Store for a fraction of their revenue. I’m guessing there’s a similar scam going on here too.

> This wasn't considered a particularly invasive change at the time.

It was pretty invasive - I tried to keep using Debian without systemd, but indirect dependencies always brought it in. Until I switched to Devuan.

And the dependencies brought in EVERYTHING. You could no longer mix and match, pick one part from here if it worked for you, and another part from there.

Which lead to the criticism that "systemd is not modular". Which Poettering denied, pointing out that there are modules at systemd-compile time, completely missing the point.

> So, more or less, people resent systemd because it's difficult to find - or build - a distro without it.

And I wouldn't have minded systemd as an INIT SYSTEM - the existing scripts WERE pretty bad. But systemd is like the Borg - it tries to assimilate everything. And it broke quite a bit of existing functionaility along this path.
The satellites are much farther away than cell towers and operating at a much higher frequency, meaning your link budget tens of dB worse.

So short answer, is no, it's impractical for cell phones.

> Is that graph set to keep the republican median constant and the rest relative from there?

Nope. You can see the Republican line move to the left in 1999 and 2004 before moving back to about where it started.

Remember that during the Clinton administration the Democrats were pretty ambivalent about gay marriage, signed the 1994 crime bill, nobody in office would have been willing to call themselves a socialist/communist etc.

Now try to think of some issues where modern mainstream Republicans are significantly to the right of Reagan or Bush Senior.

And sgi had irix, sco, let's not talk about sco, and even windows nt and os/2 claimed a posix layer, and I'm old enough to have used a couple of them, always "configure; make; make install"-ing GNU in top to get true interoperability, lol

And the binary compatibility of GNU/Linux, the interchangeability of suse, debian/ubuntu, red hat, keeps the promise that posix gave.

Which leads to the tangential point: a new generation which is growing up with "unix? That's Linux, right? Oh, and free bsd..."

Great, great article, btw

I don’t think it’s anymore odd than “French Fries” or “Greek Yogurt”. People like simple connections. Somebody long ago (perhaps unintentionally) did some good branding.
Great point. However,

I assume that you are aware but ML really is moving towards more general purpose AI.

For example, the Turing Award winners for Deep Learning (Hinton/LeCun/Bengio) have all listed the numerous shortcomings of today's narrow AI and public declared an earnest interest in more human-like capabilities. And started serious research programs attacking those shortcomings. With many of the current generation of researchers quite engaged with them.

There is progress on self-supervised learning, transfer learning, multimodal learning, more powerful models such as the transformer, extracting more accurate and fundamental latent spaces, model-based, online learning, more modular systems, 3d reconstruction from images and even videos, J. Tenenbaum's clear functional explanation beginning to be addressed with the new neural network tools, etc. Most of the results are not at the present moment inspiring enough to base a novel around. But there are many promising threads.
Independent analysts on Twitter collated with your own common sense developed by reading broadly for general knowledge and history. Go back to basics and learn the fundamentals of informal logic and conversational implicature, to help discern between logic, rhetoric and opinion. Allow for multiple interpretations of the facts. Compensate (incompletely) for narrative bias through valuing first-hand sources (if it's admissible in court, even if it's inconclusive, it's still evidence). The key questions to ask are, what's missing? what's being emphasized? Who benefits? Where are the contradictions? Why not use an alternative phrase? What's simply a lie? Why do so?

In the "post-truth" era, everyone needs to become a diet version of a counterintelligence operative. The point of post-truth is that all sources of credibility are no longer impartial. They are instead persuasive media looking out for different interests through errors of omission and commission. As such you are not left with any ground to stand on other than the relative inconsistency of different narratives. No story can be taken in its own right – it has to be contextualized in a greater fabric of understanding and information and experience such that what is bullshit and nonsense can be ignored without harm. The good news is that there is much literature in the field of deception, counterintel, language manipulation, power plays etc to work this angle. The bad news is that it's work.

Using a lot of execution resources is not a direct benefit from the user POV.

Making programs execute faster could be. And there using many cores is one implementation strategy among many complementary ones. But the current landscape of programming languages shows that languages focusing on execution speed and parallelism have smaller user bases.

Also, re this data interpretation of Python's killer app, this usage of Python is something fairly recent and happened after Python had already broken into mainstream usage in the industry. A lot of small and big applications have been built using it before the data and ML things got in vogue (like Youtube, Dropbox, Spotify etc at the bigger end).

I'm also in the AZ study and just spoke to the head doctor of my testing site Friday. They've finished recruitment and likely will have enough cases by the end of this month. BUT...the FDA said they won't consider an EUA until they have at least 2 months of safety data from half the participants. Given that restriction, he expects them to not be able to apply for an EUA until April.
It's a common for cuisines/food items e.g. "Chinese" food - there are many cuisines in China, and what is called "Chinese" food in America is not what you'd find in China.

Yes but if they were connected to the same router.

Most of these systems are distributed and having multiple APs connected to some central Radius server.

Because modern systems optimize for roaming between nodes, you can join network, use dns-sd to gather mac addresses of the computers which are not physically connected to your AP (in conjuction with 'tcpdump -I')

Then voila, 2 devices using same MAC without any problems.

PS. I personally use "printer" addresses for 2 reasons:
1: generally everyone forgets to nicely setup firewall for them since they're infrastructure objects.
2: they have relatively less traffic and probably located some obsecure room with an AP for them.
> Apparently it took some creative techniques to figure out where the traffic was actually coming from.

probably they did lookup the MAC address on the switches and saw it on a port that did not match expectations. if you were using a wired connection this would trivially lead to you... on wireless you would have to narrow it down further by monitoring signal strength of the station :)
