> Hiding information is extremely useful for spinning authoritative narratives.

Telling the criminals, publicly and in detail, exactly how you know it's them is also extremely useful -- to them! -- in that they know what not to do the next time around. It's in your own best interest to keep that information secret, especially if you have any reason whatsoever to expect that it may be useful again in the future.

Yes, this requires that we simply trust Microsoft when they say it was $attacker. You can choose not to believe them, if you like, and demand to see all the evidence. I don't think that will hurt their feelings all that much -- and I also don't think you should hold your breath while waiting for them to give you that evidence.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter all that much -- as far as I'm concerned -- whether it was China or North Korea or Canada or New Zealand. I'm less worried about who did it than I am cleaning it up and doing whatever I can to prevent it from happening again.
Looks very slick, but I am extremely stressed out by the inconsistent font sizes and button spacing across platforms in the example calculator app.
I am sure nuclear is just about the most expensive power if we are counting construction, operation, and decommissioning. But also consider that it is a firm source of power not subject to the weather. The value of a kWh is quite high when otherwise there would be none.

I suppose if you add to the the cost of a solar or wind plant the cost of a battery system to make the output 100% constant like a nuclear plant that would be a better $/kWh comparison.
I don’t think that’s true at all. Exchange is awful. It’s slow, hard to configure and doesn’t offer anything you can’t do better with simpler tools.

Like the majority of awful “enterprise” products on the market, the primary reason that it’s popular is because it’s from a megacorp who speaks the language of the buyers, who are all aspiring megacorps. I was horrified the first time I used exchange and couldn’t wait to change providers the moment I had the chance.

So it’s more like saying you can secure your house if you use a security service who sets security targets instead of sales targets.
So presumably he was very close to the median performance.

Same amount of L3 cache (16MB) as the good old R7 1700? I guess 14++++++++ doesn't fit more? :D
Have you looked at adding 2FA that isn't email eg Google Authenticator etc. We're seeing lately that enterprise customers aren't interested in email 2FA.
I think its underrated - being able to draw whatever you want without a reference except an object you have in the mind in any angle, any perspective distortion and have light falling on it from any vantage point.

It is so powerful! You can draw comic strips to serious fine art almost effortlessly after understanding the construction of the form.

I just think that it is the only way to learn how to draw because it is a superset of everything else.
There is an app called Twetch which is basically Twitter on the blockchain with money. Recently, I wanted to share someone's feed to a friend, but Twetch requires you to login, and that friend didn't have an account. I then remembered a third-party app called bitsurf.network that essentially served this role, and sent him that instead. Similarly, before Twetch had its search feature, a random developer had built one, because the data was available. So long as you are OK with limited privacy, these are pretty magical experiences compared to the status quo. I wonder if the incentives will allow it to last.
That is interesting. I assume it's because corporate takes over and honest communication is no longer possible when the financial stakes of admitting error become too large. But I could be wrong.
Reverse that: How could one prove that Okta now has, but did not previously have monopoly power?

Decent lawncare equipment rarely needs much maintenance in my experience. My dad has had his ryobi mower for at least 20 years now and all that's ever been put into it is gas.

Instead, you have different maintenance needs, they aren't gone entirely. Rather than occasionally having to do engine work (which you might never have to do), you now have a wear item to replace: the battery. Eventually, Ryobi or Makita or whoever will stop selling that particularly proprietary shaped battery for that model you bought, eventually forcing your hand to pay for a newer machine where you can still buy new batteries, and leaving you with a lawnmower sized hunk of junk in the form of your old, perhaps functional but unable to charge mower.

I don't see this as the end of lawncare equipment maintenance, I see this as the end of being able to keep your equipment going for decades. These companies executive boards must be patting themselves on the back for figuring out how to break consumers out of being able to get by on $50 used mowers forever, and forcing them to pay retail for new models at regular intervals. It's like the printer ink racket.
It seems like a valid complaint to me.

If it's so hard to do the right thing that someone who apparently both cares and understands the problem space still messes it up, then the issue is more fundamental than education.
I think it's because of the general nature of the prefixes of the words.

Co-pilot says that the two of you are doing it together. Co-operatively.

Auto = automatic = you no longer have to do it.

Think of an automatic vs. stick shift car. And automatic car you no longer have to shift.
The hostility would likely predate modern government tracking systems and bueracracies. While going from Jimmy Brown to Jim Brown wouldn't raise much of an eyebrow (head of your household now - fair enough) but going by a different name in every town would raise suspicion of being a spy, serial con artist, fugitive, or other sort of scoundrel. Bypassing "means of trust" like word about you gets viewed with suspicion even without rationalization of rules imposed by might maked right.

Name changes seem to not have been frowned upon generally if they had significance. Often they were recorded as part of a rise of status whether formally like say becoming pope or a Norse deed name style like being known as Shieldbreaker because you struck the blow that split a foe's shield in two.

As for tracking - many buggy but functional systems linger at good enough for generations with a weirdly stable whole. Even if you can get a "NULL" vanity plate you shouldn't unless you like taking the chance of receiving every ticket for cars without plates and having to dig your way out of that mess.
If you remembered the advice given in the original wing commander that the safest speed to traverse asteroid fields is 250, they were far more survivable :)
To be fair, in an American high school it's unheard of that you would continue on to 10th grade if you failed any of the core classes in 9th grade, let alone 12th grade... I literally would not have believed it possible. Maybe there are other cases like this, but I wouldn't have believed it yesterday.

So they're hit with an utterly unprecedented level of incompetence by the school, and she's a (single?) mother working 3 jobs. In that situation it's perhaps not surprising that the oldest has the least supervision among the three.

I guess I'd just disagree that "staggering level of entitlement" is the correct description. I only see a depressing result and a family that's in a very complicated situation, and is rightfully angry at what just took place.

Sure, teenagers should take some degree of personal responsibility, and parents for their children, but in a situation as complicated as this one, I personally wouldn't try to make that judgement from the outside.
I think a lot of the people here just don't understand how overwhelmed/exhausted people in serious poverty are. In the USA, with enough gumption and know-how it's theoretically possible to get government-provided internet/food/health care and work your way up to a decent career.

BUT that's a very challenging process, and we should still have compassion for people who haven't managed to pull it off yet.

(I have no input on the specifics of this situation though, just trying to provide some context)
Did any employees get screwed when it came to stock options?
It's a mini-ITX Gigabyte B450, the Aorus line. From what I found online, there were plenty of cases of incompatible RAM that would simply not boot.

The "odd" thing is that this Intel system I put together ended up being the very same brand. I am regretting it now a bit because I realized that the board can only do 4k@30Hz through the HDMI port and the i9 can do 4k@60, but given that my laptop had a similar limitation and I got used to run with my monitor at 1440p, I think I will hold on to it until I feel like it is time to get a dedicated GPU.
The big problem is that no one more capable wants to work there.

We have a mild teacher shortage across the board (which may become major with reports of as many as 40% of teachers seriously considering leaving the profession this year). And then in turn, inner city schools are worse workplaces... which attract worse peers... You need a hell of a martyr complex to take this on, and even if you have it you won't last.

And throwing money at comp won't fix this, either: that's not a great motivator to get the people with the passion to fix this.
If you roll a dice and it comes up 1 you're not justified saying it's a loaded dice. If you roll it a hundred times and it comes up 1 more than half the time, you're right to be suspicious of it.

I think the mother and the student have definitely failed. That said, the school is producing many such failures. At some point blame needs to transcend individuals and start attaching to the system or context those individuals are in.
Not true actually. Google now updates these devices for 3 years now and not just security updates

Thomas Pedersen is one of the less well known contributors to the R ecosystem. His work on fundamentals like graphics rendering is the kind of thing that can be pretty thankless and I think he deserves a ton of credit for his combination of technical skills and focus on user experience. The gganimate package used for animating plots is also by him.
Looking at a few things on my machine right now:

- Emacs (with 251 open files and IRC running): 100MB

- Activity Monitor: 98MB

- Word: 227MB

- Spotify: 465MB

- Slack: 526MB

- Thunderbird (not Electron, but a similar weird browser hybrid thing): 663MB

- Teams (which appears to be Electron): 747MB

I'm not seeing too much of a blur here. The worst chat app (Teams) is using ~7x the RAM of my primary code editor that also is doing chat :).

Most Christians consider trinitarianism a defining element of Christianity. Many consider it blasphemous to call heretics saints.
Seems like a lot of medical/living history can be derived from the face. Rings around the eyes tell of 2nd jobs and long hours. Sunburned skin tells about work outside exposed to UV.
Bad shaves tell about a lack of time and money, lack of makeup, tells a story about a lack of time for luxurys.
Substance abuse skin tells of hard times.

All in all, this sounds like a nice tool to detect anglo-sphere wide signs of a middle class that lost out to globalization. Which in itself makes it valuable to judge credit-history by look.

Company realises that they have become kind of slow and that their culture is not conductive to moving fast, innovation and making more money

"We could just buy a culture that is" and then either they keep it alive or the original culture destroyed the acquired one and the process starts again?

Isn't that like half of acquisitions or maybe I'm being too simplistic, I dunno
Cool idea, I hope it grows. Would like to see more positions in Asian countries, they currently appear very limited.
Were these private forums? If so, has anyone dumped the content of the forum posts? This could be an amazing trove of information for cybersecurity professionals and researchers.
Im still of the opinion that closed source should be illegal. How stupid is this idea?

> Let's say all that is true. It's still the mother's fault. How could you raise your child and not know he is failing every class and skipping half the time FOR YEARS. Come on man, be serious.

One of the insidious things about this is that we've got an underclass that just doesn't understand at all how the basic systems of life work. How school works; how school can improve economic outcomes in the future; how to do basic legal and organizational things. They've also got severe lacks of attentional resources-- being poor, often in single parent homes, working high numbers of hours.

In turn, they produce another generation with largely the same impediments.

It's easy to blame the parent or individual actors within the system, but the system produces bad outcomes with costs that are borne both by the children and by society as a whole.
In this specific case I didn't any failure of enforcement at all because there weren't any. The school administration just dropped the ball without any explanation and no corrective action against _itself_. I guess tree-jobs-mum doesn't have much time going to school and make sure administration does its job.
Does that mean they took an 18 year old and put him back in class with 15 year olds expecting him to stay there for four more years from 19-22? That can’t be right. What does sent him back to the 9th grade mean in this context?
I'm from one of those countries and while, on one hand, it seems perfectly logical to argue "racism is racism is racism", I think there's a widespread recognition here that it's not as simple as that. If you consider racism as part of the human condition, something that is exhibited by people regardless of their own race, then you must also realise that its impact is far more significant when the majority exhibits it than when the minority does. In that sense there's, if you like, two 'sides' to racism: 'motive' (or 'intent') and effect. The first may be broadly equal across groups of different sizes, but the latter certainly isn't.

The alternative is to take advantage of tools already out on the market developed privately to help people lock down and filter content from the internet. Content and privacy filters have been out forever...use those instead of the government heavy handedly imposing something.

My opinion (and strictly an opinion) is if diverse types of information are more readily available you can either lock down your child's access to that information OR you can prepare them for what they might encounter. Separately its also good to guide them on access and responsible use of the world's knowledge (good, bad, moral, immoral) which is literally at their fingertips
Lawyer geek here, happy to weigh in if you need it. Looks interesting and will be following.
Been looking for a country where I can seek permanent residence status (and maybe, later, citizenship) with my family without having to give up my 1099 (contractor) US remote job and find something local (no, I'm not trying to dodge taxes, and I'd fully expect to pay normal taxes on that income for wherever I ended up). Coming from the US (all of us are native-born citizens).

It's been tricky. I get why there's not some kind of policy or program in place, since that's a pretty niche circumstance, but I don't see how it wouldn't be a good thing for whichever country I'd end up in. I don't make SV-bucks but I make more than I'd easily be able to in, say, Canada, and I'd be spending that money and paying taxes in the new country (I'm not at a level of income where I'd get double-taxed by the US, though I'd have to file there). At the same time, having to job-hunt and probably take a pay cut to find a job before we even move would suck, since I already have a job I like, that's fully remote.

Anyone got any helpful info on that situation, that I may not have come across elsewhere?
I am a very causal enthusiast but from my understanding there are many ways to skin a cat when it comes to process nodes hence with the company A 10nm vs company B 10nm are not equivalent.

Intel somewhere along the line chose the wrong set of solutions to achieve their 10nm process.

IMO these mistakes will not necessarily mean that some other node will be inherently disadvantaged other than the fact that they may now find themselves scrambling for tech lead. They will still have learned a lot from 10nm and hopefully should be able to feed that into future density improvements.
The article and all the responses here express "latency" as a simple scalar number. Is it actually more like a histogram of values than a scalar, and the marketing number is the 90th %ile of that histogram?

My impression is that Android has more latency variance than iOS. If that's true then it's important to be clear what the reported numbers represent.
Hey Geoffrey! We are building this in https://braid.org: a standard protocol and API for synchronizing state with realtime editing, conflict resolution, and a good offline mode. By building this into the web, we're creating the equivalent of a "web filesystem" as you put it, where every file (aka "resource") has full versioning, realtime updates, offline abilities, and merge resolution.

I know you're aware of Braid, but I'm not sure you see how much our work is actually aligned. In fact my deepest personal motivation in creating Braid is to enable the "BYOC" vision — but I've been calling it a "separation of UI from state", where each user can choose their own interface to interact with the world. In today's web, the data owner controls the interface. But this means that they control how way too many people interact with the world, because we increasingly have to interact with the world through computers.

The Braid abstraction makes it easier for developers to program with distributed state, and in the process also makes user-interfaces and back-ends interoperable, so that we can easily switch out different UIs for the same state.
So instead of starting up a gas blower, they start up a huge gas generator in the truck instead and run extension cords over the sidewalk from wherever they could park to the jobsite
Fast-growing young companies with big ambitions often overspend heavily on everything (marketing, r&d, operations) relative to their current size. Their bet is that as they grow, they will gain unique dominance in their field, plus deeper engagement from customers, which will translate into much higher revenue/user and the emergence of a very profitable business.

This is a workable strategy! Examples include Amazon, Facebook, Workday, Snowflake and practically every biotech company. Some wait until they're profitable to go public; some don't.
It's also a strategy that often fails. Lots of less famous examples are out there, too.

It's interesting that Coursera's 2020 revenue per current learner is about $8. I ran the numbers on Stanford ($6 billion budget; 17,000 enrolled students) and the revenue per learner is north of $300,000.

Now Stanford sells a vastly different product than Coursera does. (At least right now.) And the bulk of Stanford's revenue comes via grants, investment income and other stuff including ticket sales. Tuition revenue per learner is far less, though still well into the tens of thousands of dollars per year.

If you believe that over the next decade, the education dollar will be reallocated to the advantage of organizations like Coursera, the way to get rewarded for your prescience is to get in now and smile as you wait for the revenue/learner curve to bend your way.

I'm not minimizing the risks. But if your analysis ends with "they're losing money right now," you're shrinking your horizons to a strange degree.

Well, sort of. Lower class mobility, employment instability, rising housing and medical costs, and the two income trap are all very real rips in the societal fabric.

There are many scenarios where stable homes with good incomes fall apart. On the other hand, there are also plenty of examples of homes where kids were had where there was no stability or income necessary from the get go to provide them with the support they'd need to work their way through the educational system and come out successful on the other end. How do you address the elephant in the room of people who decide to have kids without the means and time to properly provide for them (which includes encouraging and cultivating a desire to pursue an education)?

I fail to see an easy solution. Foster homes of well to do families that can put the resources and time into nurturing these kids towards a brighter future? More resources into educating folks to steer clear of parenthood if they're not adequately equipped for the job ahead?
I wouldn't buy a boox because they don't respect the GPL.

The 2012 report expected no benefits, the 2014 saw some benefits, the 2015 report saw more benefits.

That's the context of your cherry picked sentence, that even a foundation expecting no benefits found them, and is left with trying to downplay those findings.

And that's to be expected, a long tail of continued improvements as the students get older and the benefits of increased numeracy in higher math pay off, and as we get better at communicating to K-5 teachers (who, frankly probably didn't have the best math background either) start grasping the meta point of what's being taught.
Absolutely. As it stands now, people from different backgrounds don’t trust one another. Why invest in x if they’re just going to do Y; Why accept money from x because they’re just using it for y.

Ask yourself: Why do you give money to a homeless person; or not?

Sure, but there are plenty of tools you are a parent can use to remove access to this information to your kids. Do you believe the private market hasn't catered effectively to those who believe this?

To me it seems like overreach, a government solution trying to pile on to a problem that already has a private solution. Restrictive filtering and content management software exists and is easily accessible.
Not sure if there are others, but thanks for this.
Meh, this is actually great publicity for O365.
I mean organisations with their own Exchange Server are just organisations that aren’t on Microsoft 365 yet. Which is basically hosted Exchange.
