But diamonds do have some pretty awesome mechanical properties [0]. They do have intrinsic value. Sure, the intrinsic value of diamonds < value of diamonds, but at least when you mine diamonds a percentage of it will go into use.

I'm more of a maker myself and I hate that there are some things that I can't just do but that need to be decided by someone else (which in my company is usually taking forever)
I'm always reminded of the Slackware 96 release on Walnut Creek around this time. Fond memories of making disk sets to install on my inherited 486 laptop
Gamers are getting screwed by Nivida today since the silicone they normally bin as gaming cards are being allocated to mining cards.

In return they're only given the 3060 which is still profitable for miners and Nividia refuses to restrict mining on any other gaming Geforce series card.rxqy

Miners are also screwing over gamers by buying their gaming cards today. In future miners will be a positive for games as they flood the used market with gaming cards.

Neither are altruistic here.
This essay from David Perell touches on a similar concept: https://perell.com/note/lateral-thinking-with-withered-ideas...

> It led to the 20th century’s most successful game console: the Game Boy. One day, a gaming engineer named Gunpei Yokoi was commuting home on the train when he saw a man playing with an LCD calculator next to him. Unfortunately, Nintendo didn’t have the budget to push the technological frontier at the time, so they used old technology to innovate. So long as the gameplay was engaging, Yokoi believed that players didn’t care about technical details like colors or screen resolutions. Compared to its contemporaries, the Game Boy was durable and affordable, which removed barriers to entry for users and developers. People would play for hours because it used AA batteries that were cheap and easy to find. Today, the Game Boy has sold more than 118 million units.
That was a very good one. :)
> Aircraft undergo regular preventative maintenance checks

And in a similar incident in February 2018 on a 777 (referred to upthread), one of those checks was found to have failed: the NTSB determined that the root cause was a cracked engine fan blade that should have been detected on a previous inspection (and that would have resulted in the blade being replaced), but wasn't. If this incident turns out to have a similar root cause, that means there are issues with the preventive inspection and maintenance process.
Is it impossible to game on these?

Not sure what you mean by the "pretends" statement.

Both the Redux core and Redux Toolkit _are_ completely UI-agnostic, and can be used with _any_ UI layer or even standalone.

Yes, most Redux usage is with React, and we do orient our docs around the assumption that you're probably using Redux and React together, but there's many people who are using Redux separately.
Does he have an option to pay a safer, fixed rate? Are you 100 percent sure that is available?
One thing has changed, and that is the amount of household debt.

There is a class of bubble and related collapse that are driven primarily by debt fueled purchases. When debt bubbles collapse, stimulus doesn't have the intended effect because consumers use the stimulus funds to deleverage. This is what happened in 2008, and recoveries from these types of collapses tend to be much more sluggish. When you have consumers paying their mortgages down instead of spending that money on goods/services, inflation is not a concern and the money leaves the system as debts are paid down. There's much less debt this time. I'm not saying there will be massive inflation, but I'm definitely more concerned than I was 13 years ago.

Debt deflation is a known phenomena since 1933 when Irving Fisher published: "The Debt-Deflation Theory of Great Depressions".

Hi thatwasunusual, I'm happy that I read your comment after your edit, no hard feelings ;)

Just to clarify, all data is stored locally.
It could be run even without internet, once it's downloaded from dockerhub

I have one question to you as for the person who definitely concerned about privacy
To better understand what features are popular we are planning to gather anonymous information from the next release.
What measures we are going to take:
1. You will be asked for permit during the first registration. If no permit - we won't send anything
2. We send only anonymized information - no names, no geolocation data, no images, etc.
3. We are open source, so it's easy to check if we send only this information, all code is in github.

Will it be enough for not worry about your data?
> Everything we do as a society I think should be from time to time evaluated from a point of view of benefits for society/world and then depending on this evaluation, the incentives should be updated to support things that we consider useful, and to penalize things that we do no

This is vague to the point of meaninglessness. On one level, it describes democracy and lawmaking. On another level, it describes communist-style state control of economic factors.
Exactly! There’s a totally different bar to entry. Look at North Korea. I don’t think they rank highly as a concern with traditional kinetic warfare, but they have made themselves a major security concern even with scant resources because the bar to entry with cyber warfare is just that much lower.
Seems like an interesting dilemma for both you an Apple.

I’m sure they get a bunch of bullshit and scams from people trying to sell them exploits, so the distrust is mutual.

This does represent a trust issue in the industry, but I don’t see how it demonstrates that they ‘Don’t care about security’.
In my travels there's a significant portion of the internet which is not IPv6 capable; for example the World Community Grid failed for me when trying to use pure IPv6, and they send emails about things. I'd currently not risk using an IPv6 record for my MX, I suspect a high failure rate delivering email from every service on the planet will follow.
Roosevelt’s Man in the Area quote sums this up well.

> "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

It's also a useful metric for deciding who to follow on social media. Is the person showing off their work or are they just commenting on the work of others? If the work/comment ratio drops too low, I stop following them.
Fees are $3 if you are willing to wait 12 hours, otherwise $5 for 30 minutes.
Postel's law was a good rule of thumb in the early wild west internet. In modern times I think it's largely anachronistic. Being liberal in what you accept leads to security problems, erosion of standards, growth of edge cases, etc.

> there is something fundamentally wrong with the idea of allocating so much resources, in servers, in power and in space, for what essentially doesn't improve people's lives

The track record of “for the people’s good” juntas is poor. When they aren’t venally stripping the populace, they’re squashing any hint of innovative challenge to the incumbency.

whatsmyname.app is a nice tool. I didn't even remember most of these accounts. Can get rid of them if I want now.
> Why not follow the standards?

Because they can't send email when they follow the standard?

What are you trying to achieve? Following a standard for the sake of it, or are you actually trying to send email?

And what's the point or use of a standard that people aren't following? What's the point of following such a standard?
Sure - but not only against physical access, also against remote.

And let’s remember - this is a fixed problem. Obviously they did care about it.
This is why the technology will require a strict legal framework.

If someone has their genome edited to remove or fix a defective gene that causes a disease that's probably fine but other things may be banned or maybe allowed on the condition that the person be sterilised or banned from reproducing. All of those possibilities also raise the issue of enforcement, so once the genie is out of the bottle is it inevitable that we become a society of 'mutants' (for lack of a better word)?
This student was an international student. If he quit, he would have lost his visa and had to leave the country.
Fully agree. Didn't suggest otherwise. That doesn't mean that the CMP cards are binning in the exact same way. I mean, isn't it a guarantee that the binning criteria change here to accommodate CMP? Isn't it entirely possible that the new bins are opportunities to sell wafers that couldn't be sold to gamers at all? Nvidia already has market segments for compute cards with no video. Yes, I'm speculating. So is parent & the article. I'm not sure it even matters. What matters is that gaming supply is less destroyed by mining demand.
Bert: Pre-Training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding
It's not that nuclear cannot be built. It's that America is incapable of building... Pretty much anything in the 21st century. If the interstate system were to disappear tomorrow, for example, we simply wouldn't be able to rebuild it.

It's not because concrete is some arcane technology that isn't cost effective, or doesn't work. It's because we just aren't very good at building things anymore.

I have heard of Nand2tetris, but I always thought it fell more into the 'read a textbook' bucket than the 'do your own technically challenging project to reinforce the learning' one. But I guess it's a project-based textbook, which kind of blurs the lines.

Thanks for sharing those examples. I guess the common thread here is to work on _building_ things that exist at lower levels of abstraction, rather than just knowing how to use them as a black box. I guess most project ideas that satisfy that criteria would teach some fundamental skills too.
We would also have torn handles, pants-staining leaks, groceries spilled across the parking lot, double and triple bagging, and so on. In fact we already have all of these problems thanks to the ham-fisted paper bag laws.

I would be more amenable to the idea if they made a bag that does not get torn (e.g. armor the paper with cotton or bamboo thread), and is leak-resistant (e.g. waxed), but that somehow takes the back seat.
How do you authenticate to the nfs server? Did you setup kerberos ?

I have always been reluctant to go that path, it felt to complex for my home use case. I generally use ftp instead for this reason, but I guess it's not as efficient.
They can but I doubt the will as I, like the quoted article belive this would lead them to being sued over misleading marketing, just like the 970 3.5G controversy.

Maybe the model number would do it, but I'd imagine it would have to be pretty distinguishing.
> A systems programming language cannot afford to silo itself on a single OS solutions.

If a OS (or alleged OS) demands that you dynamically link against libc (or anything else written in C) to interact with it, that problem is not the (non-C) programming language's fault.

> your rant barely scratches the surface of the [OS] options available

That's fair, but most of the not-linux I have experience with is microcontrollers or other things that are far enough from unix/posix that they don't have dlopen (mmap itself is hit-or-miss, but tends to be hit in the sorts of situations where I'd have occasion to dynamically load stuff in the first place), so there's not much I could do about that.
One company I worked for went to great lengths to emulate FAANG.

But they were a medium sized company. They were absolutely crushed under the weight of FAANG "best practices" and technology. They lost time rewriting perfectly fine code. They chased the microservice fad. And they lost market share.

It's in the interest of FAANG to maintain this idea of needing k8s, this massive CI pipeline, certain processes, etc. etc. Because it slows down competition. It halts startups. It slows progress. They want to throw as much overhead as possible at smaller companies.

The thing people need to realize is that FAANG are entrenched. They are as risk-adverse as can be. They will happily write unit tests and maintain 100% test coverage and do all of this crap because they are more scared of losing market share than innovation. They are in full defense mode. Google is implementing all manner of protectionism to maintain their ad market, for example. Plus, they have the deep pockets to pull it off. Any company smaller than FAANG will sit there with their wheels spinning.
Yes, they include the value of land. In Texas, for example, land cost for PV might be a couple percent of the cost of a PV field.
It improves people’s lives, just likely not yours. Just like I don’t benefit from caps on medical professionals, or police unions, or health insurance.
This article is in the present tense, is it still available?
How do you objectively measure the actual positive impact of this tech exactly?
This sounds like something like the tragedy of the commons or Gresham's Law for academia. It's in everyone's best interest to do take advantage of the system, at least as long as there's public support for academia.

I don't see the situation getting much better. Republicans like free-market solutions, but not facing market constraints is part of the value of academia. Meanwhile, especially with consternation around student debt, Democrats will blindly support academia, failing to put any pressure on it.
> we just tax carbon usage?

yes please, that would be the holistic approach. externalities like carbon need to be priced in. if it's in the price, then the market will adjust accordingly. a $4 [thing] will jump to $12, people will buy fewer until producers figure out ways to reduce externalities in order to bring the price down.

what's free will be overused. price it in to force efficiency and alternative seeking.
I fixed it, that was a brain fart.
If you are the manufacturer, who already know the root private key and can make some fake users, you still won't be able to print new money from nowhere. Yes, you CAN make double spending, but this will just split the network, because every participant will accept only one spend, not both.
Yes. My wife and I have a strict "pay for what you consume" policy in this house.

I'm a former "industry" professional, so I have the utmost respect for people being compensated on whichever end they process/release material we prefer. (Usually Blu-ray, but sometimes digital if we can't find Blu-rays.) In fact, it's so important to us that we have only a handful of pre-owned movies/TV; all stuff we can't buy new.

Obviously it's a bit of a legal gray area to rip Blu-rays we purchased, but we don't do anything that would prevent content creators/platforms from receiving compensation. We don't format-shift (i.e. If we have a DVD, we don't obtain an HD version) and only rarely platform-shift (i.e. download a Blu-ray if we've only purchased the streaming rights) if that's the only option.

Legally shady but ethically sound stuff we do:

- torrent TV shows that we own the same-resolution discs for (it's faster than ripping/transcoding hundreds of hours of video)

- torrent TV/movies we've purchased effectively-lifetime licenses for (willing to remove if for a good ethical reason a platform revokes said license; hasn't happened yet though)

- pre-download Blu-rays we order if it'll take some time to get here

- torrent the very limited number of broadcast TV shows we record and strip ads from (this is probably the most questionable thing we do, ethically)

Far as music, most platforms at this point allow some form of non-DRM download, so we generally don't do anything unusual. We use several unauthorized plugins for our music streaming services, but do not download/keep anything we haven't purchased.

We absolutely do not "preview" stuff. If we want to "preview", we rent the movies and watch them there. If we choose to purchase, we may torrent, but generally just wait to rip.

No doubt we're in a minority, but Kodi is an invaluable way for us to consume our ethically-sourced content. (Even our children's friends seem to have ethics with this stuff, i.e. if they "gift" some MP3s to a peer, they'll also give them a gift card so they can purchase that content. Not sure how common it is, but I certainly don't remember doing this during the early days of CD ripping and Napster.)

I don't have a huge problem with some people fudging a little more than we do, but take great offense at people who use it simply for the pirating plugins.

I don't, for example, take much issue with people geo-shifting stuff they can't otherwise obtain. (The content creator is still in the same $0 profit situation their publisher put them in.) But stuff like Popcorn Time is really not cool for pretty much anyone except people who can't obtain the content for whatever reason.

Make of it what you will. But guns don't kill people; people kill people.
There's two ideal ways to deal with this:

1. Accept that the new standard is that ip addresses should be supported, and write a new rfc document with that change.
2. Encourage people to not support this.

Simply asking all mailservers to support this non-standard feature (or de facto standard) is arguable the worst outcome, because now every mail server implementer is expected to implement the standard + a bunch of institutional knowledge.

Luckily with mail there's a lot of incentive to set things up correctly, because getting parts of it wrong likely results in a higher number of emails going to spam.
This is one of those things that's hard to see until you're out though. Combined with the fact that inside academia there definitely is a bias against those who don't finish the program ("they couldn't hack it") this perspective is relatively rare for those who are in it, especially those without prior industry experience.
How many eagles are killed by housecats?
Is there an easy way to deploy this to my own infrastructure, possibly via k8s or docker containers - no aws?
Typically an FR system includes some reference for face/head orientation. "Able to detect faces when the orientation is +/y some roll, pitch, yaw of looking directly at the camera", for example. Additionally, a series/set of ROC Curves demonstrating the system against known datasets would be very useful.
> they fear they look incompetent using those old technologies

It sounds like you're saying the fear is unwarranted. It very much is a real fear as long as people interviewing them actually count that against them and value new tech.

By committing to an technology early you are limiting your options! You are limiting the possible ways problems can be solved. You are limiting the talent pool/hiring options.
Because you can't send mail everywhere, obviously.

It's nice that it's the other person's fault. Still doesn't make your mail arrive.
I read it and the thing doesn't make sense: so the author is complaining that the victim knew the names of the reviewers? Who cares? What does this have to do with anything? Also there seems to be almost no relation to the conference with the suicide except for the pressure his supervisor put on him.

The other thing from the web page is murky, they basically found breached confidential info on the victims laptop. Ok, this is more serious, but again, this is seems to me also a total sideshow;what am I missing here.
That is Yubico's flavor of U2F attestation. U2F has been succeeded by WebAuthn, you'll probably want to look at https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/#sctn-defined-attestation-f... instead.
Android TV already has apps that do a much better job than Kodi, so the question remains.

To pick one of your examples, Netflix has its own app.
It seems likely to me that the cap will just be expanded at some point, but that is likely tens of years away and its expansion will likely be equal to or less than the replacement value of lost coins.
Dear Kevin,

I am working on some hobby projects, similar but very much more elementary to what you are doing. May I please kindly get your e-mail address (or you may drop me a note at ashok dot khanna at hotmail dot com). I would love to connect and follow your work.

I apologise as I was not able to find your e-mail address on your blog post - sorry if I missed it.

Best wishes,
Why would it be country-based? Besides the obvious thing that Country of Origin rules apply anyway.
How much of this R&D goes into nuclear power research, and how much of it is nuclear weapons research that is billed as power research?

For example, the laser fusion research that hit 'break even' a few days ago was a byproduct of work on nuclear weapons.
Tools like this also make me uncomfortable and I said as much last time an issue like this was discussed [1].

But I don't think the "it can be abused" argument is compelling. Most of the tools we have today can and have been abused. As you point out, we know bad actors use infosec tools and run the same POCs that researchers produce when they find new exploits and vulnerabilities (after disclosure); they check the same CVEs and read the same papers. But this information has to be released and these tools have to be out in the open. Security through obscurity is a disaster.

Besides the other intended goals of these tools, I am hoping they will raise awareness and get many people to realize how easy it is to identify and deanonymize them online.

Ahh, that's interesting, thank you. It sounds like a low probability scenario, but not impossible.
Yeah, I would also prefer if the developer would do the testing (or just create an automated test suite so we can be confident when we deploy the code), do the penetration testing and also create the full network, db and CI and CD infrastructure, not to mention the disaster recovery and budgeting for the project your are working on. Ahh and yes, ship all those features.
