That's ietf rough consensus. Harder in a dev team i think. But you may be right.
That’s one of the reasons why operating systems provide a proper CPRNG instead of trusting RDRAND.
They show an example further down - the client just uses a different bucket name in the exact same call.
As as been said by many other users in these threads you can disable it globally if you know you never want it.

This is the thing I don't understand about some Apple advocates these days. Even the idea of having a choice is unacceptable.
Their name seems to be a pun on "Feinarbeit", or "fine work". I love how Germany is full of those small, super-specialised tech companies.
There’s a couple of similar SaaS services for analog studio equipment -

https://mixanalog.com (also has a couple of analog reel to reels)

https://accessanalog.com

Both really good if you want full remote access to analog studio hardware worth thousands that you don’t use often enough to buy.

You can also use multiple together and chain them however you want

If there was an open source hardware/software solution for this, or some kind of easy to use platform for people to list their gear, I think a lot of people would “rent” their gear online
I really don't think you got the original point...
For vim I use the CodeReviewer plugin [1] to capture comments for files. I modified it to use differently named comment files and to jump to the file locations from the comment line. I am planning to include support for hierarchical comments or referring other comment files from within one. Also the problem of tracking code changes or referring to a certain git commit is still there - in clearcase it can be easily done with a reference to the branch, but not sure how to do it in git.

It's more interesting to understand the motives of attacks. Often, attacks have a geopolitical or political motive.

So the whole point of security, digital or physical, is power.

For now, I really don't see the point of working in security for a single reason: there is NO REGULATION on measures of security when writing software. You can find millions of regulations for making physical products, but very few for software when it comes to security.

Of course, governments have higher standards, but law should mandate that insurance companies be able to evaluate cyber risks, so there should be regulations regarding computer security.
Quite a few companies have been fined for violating the law, and we are seeing positive effects for privacy because of it.

The cookie stuff, yes, it's annoying for us end users. I get it.

But take how H&M were fined for violating the privacy of their employees. That they had to stop doing that is a Good Thing, right?

They have a lidar. They already have an accurate 3D rep from the sensors
The problem with browser engines is that they require just-in-time compilation to be fast, and Apple wants all code in an app to be signed and available to inspection. JIT compilation requires a way to add new, unsigned code to the process.

That’s a rabbit hole of DLC, plug-ins and vulnerabilities they don’t want to go into.
> Web Bluetooth and webUSB are ignored by Safari and unsupported.

Web Bluetooth: A Chrome only feature. Not a standard or standards track. Firefox and Safari both said that they will not implement due to the security issues.

As a transhumanist, I'm fine with this. It's clear that a lot of people would physically transform themselves into whatever illusion FaceApp provides today.

I certainly would.

I know this is being perceived as "fraud" right now, but the same people who were attracted to that person and now feel betrayed are overdue for some well-deserved self reflection.

It's hard to make an argument that the world would be worse off if everyone could just have the body they want. Regrettably, I was born too late to live to see it become reality.

Wow, this is dense.

> From the Egyptian hieratic numerals used in almost all the quotidian tasks of the Egyptian state, to the traditional Sinhalese numerals of south India and Sri Lanka, or the Siniform numerals developed for the Jurchin script in 12th-century China, ciphered-additive numeration is cross-culturally recurrent.

In that sentence, the article hasn't defined hieratic or quotidian, and the whole sentence is terrifying. I'm fine with looking up definitions, but as a native speaker who's pretty well-read, I find this text really hard to read without a dictionary. There were many words undefined (even by context) in the text that I really don't think even most above-average readers know: syllabary, biscriptal, intelligentsia, interlocutor, grapheme, elided.

Made me think of a recent PG essay: http://paulgraham.com/simply.html
I'm still struggling to find out the non-cult reason for "the feature must be banned from the browser, just being able to disable it for all time with a single click is not enough".
I think it’s wrong to say that FSD requires AGI since driving is a specialised skill.

I do agree though that there’s so much that can be done right now without waiting for some magical future tech. Inner cities without cars can be solved with public transportation. De-urbanisation can be achieved with a combination of remote work, cashier-less shops and a
well-run postal system. We don’t need to wait to do these things, they’re achievable now.
Sure. But preferably install your own keys and sign bootloader and operating system yourself if you run untrusted code on the machine.
The word is "orthogonal".
Looking at this video, I am very skeptical Tesla can solve FSD with the sensor suite on the car. The bounding boxes are all over the place; it doesn't look like the car can detect fast-moving objects beyond 20-30 meters very well.
I don't think so.

I have a hazy memory that I actuallyb learnt the reference on HN - maybe I'm wrong but the woolly context I have is of a respected prime minister approaching the end of a long career, coaching his son and successor.

Unlike Machiavelli, who if I remember correctly actually had a very poor relationship with the ruling family after a brief period of success.
So where can I opt out (as a pedestrian or cyclist)?
> I absolutely detest the whole farce of a manager claiming they’re “shielding the team” when really they’re just making critical decisions without informing their own team / gathering [real] consenshs.

That's clearly not done. What I referred to was decisions that were taken outside the control of the line manager; such as re-org, change in promo process. The line manager will not be part of such decision making process they are mostly taken at director level or above. The line manager though will be kept informed/warned of such changes about a few weeks in advance which is when I would start warning senior engineers in my team.

You will be surprised to learn that line managers have very little influence or say in most of the critical decisions taken. One of their responsibilities is to keep the team pacified i.e., to ensure the "shield" works both ways ;-)
Being a python developer I am interested to know more. Are there resources you use to make the app? Do they provide rest api?
Plexi might be effective in a scenario where you encounter some customer every 15 minutes and they don't stay long in your vicinity before and after.

If you stay in a room together half a day, plexi sheets do the same thing a plexi sheet does for you when you are in a pool somebody peed in: nothing.
I see they've done this to reduce spam (otherwise someone can create a million Google apps accounts, pay with a fake credit card, and then go win the troll wars in the YouTube comments).

A better solution would be to treat all users from a single domain as one in the spam filter. Ie. If too many users from a single domain are found to be spamming, the whole domain gets YouTube blocked.

That would probably get them bad press too - when some companies viral marketing video gets taken down because a few other employees were using spambots.

Anti-spam is hard...
It's the other way round, and you hint at it in your last sentence: the critics have had huge opportunity costs, while Elon had virtually no cost for his repeated overselling of Tesla's FSD capabilities. To the contrary, a good chunk of Tesla's market cap (and thus Elon's net worth) is clearly attributable to its large followership of retail investors hyped by Elons predictions and overselling (and I'd guess that even some professional investors are falling for the "Level 5 is right around that next corner" claims). Tesla is valued as a tech company, not as an automotive company, and that is in good part due to its alleged competence in the software tech realm, of which FSD is the most coveted piece.
Doesn't seem like that would leave many possibilities... ;)
Uhh, that's bad.

Come to think of it, a malicious company could probably set up their systems so they get auto-confirmed by the plugin. I'm not sure they'd be valid in that case.

Similar attacks: load the fine print via JS and stick it into an /ads/advertisement.js so adblockers will block the loading of it.

Can the company claim "we showed it to the user, if their software hides it, that's not our problem"?

> That means, ironically, the godawful popups can't set a cookie to remember that I don't want cookies, and they keep popping up every time I go back to that site.

If it's any consolation, a pretty significant number appear to do that even if you ARE accepting cookies.
That's google and it's to be expected because many of the largest companies have a strict no GPL policy, naturally including AGPL. Doesn't mean tens of smaller startups won't use AGPL licensed software for their SaaS services without any sort of compensation or contribution to the orginal project. AGPL does nothing whatsoever to stop profitable companies from exploiting Open Source software without contributing back.
It's absolutely incredible that I can't buy a processor and be able to run a command on the bare metal. We don't even know how many levels of indirection between x86 machine code and actual hardware there are.

This was my first attempt, but

a) SheepShaver doesn't quite emulate the experience, e.g. the mouse movements appear to have a slight lag, some icons don't draw, etc. and

b) I didn't manage to set up network there and found no guide of how to get files to that VM in any other way.

So overall I decided to just try a real machine and got it for around ~$50 in the local fleamarket. Tried Ebay first, found a great candidate (Powerbook G4 1Ghz/Ti, last model capable of booting Mac OS 9), but there was quite a few bidders and the price went up to ~$450, so I passed.
If S3 is database - Object Lambda is stored procedure?

I guess that for some systems that are heavily S3-based it will help adding new features without needing to rewrite the interface or duplicate the functionality.

It's nice to know that AWS achieved such lock-in with some customers.
It should be illegal to have these giant lists without a single opt out all button.

If they make a cent from users who visit but then leave when they see this giant form, they should be fined into a smoking hole the ground.
Freecodecamp does this. As a user I like the feature for the same reasons you stated.

So if we assume that URLs/http/https started to become important around 1993 - 1995 that's 26 - 28 years ago. We needed to live 3-5 years without curl.

I don't remember what I used back then. But I am sure I downloaded something outside of NCSA Mosaic.
Well, you can say that about many books. I write books (not that I've published anything important yet) and normal sized books are 80k long. It is not possible for every word to be important and un "missable"
Thanks for the heads up, ‘Inicio’ is what I was looking for, will update.

Some of the words are slang but interestingly the word ‘porsiacaso’ does exist in Argentina and made it into the RAE https://dle.rae.es/porsiacaso but with the following more narrow definition:

m. Arg. y Ven. Alforja o saco pequeño en que se llevan provisiones de viaje.

Gracias!
This may be true in some ideal platonic universe - but for real people living in the real world, college is indeed a vocational school.
There's a very simple trick: for an overview reading, it doesn't matter what those words mean.

Just skip over them: From the Egyptian some-class-of numerals used in almost all the some-kind-of tasks of the Egyptian state, etc.

Apparently THE LAW can force companies to put up these annoying popups. Couldn't THE LAW force companies to respect Do Not Track?

Yes, yes, I know, smaller sites will not give a fuck.

But I bet Google, FB and other ones will. Which is why they fight against this so hard. Just try enabling Do Not Track in Chrome and watch the scary dialogs you need to go through which will make regular people think it's a dangerous thing to do.

That's not relevant, though - except in the most trivial way of the problem of induction[0]. Technically, we can't be sure the sun will rise tomorrow, or that gravity will still work the same way 5 minutes from now. Neither can we be sure the market will not collapse next week. But this way lies madness - reasoning about the future is impossible. Fortunately, experience consistently demonstrates that if we have a good model of something, reality tends to stick to it, so we can use it to predict things.

With nihilism out of the way, how is million people independently trading a thing for $10 once meaningfully different than a single buyer/seller pair trading a thing for $10 a million times?

A price of an item isn't a random phenomenon - it's just a reflection of what buyer and seller believe other people would pay for that item. This belief is based mostly on knowledge of what other people actually paid for it (or a similar widget) in the past. This process is mostly convergent[1]. Prices change at the rate of information flow, and tend toward some equilibrium. The process may be quite unpredictable, but the expectations are bounded.

As a result, markets automatically price everything relative to everything else, in a way that mostly makes sense. This is a very useful property - it's a bottom-up, implicit, somewhat fair way of solving resource allocation problem in society.

Generating fake trades like this? It's injecting bad data into the market. It's poisoning the mechanism of price determination - which, to produce reasonably fair determinations, needs aggregate trades to average great many distinct buyer/seller negotiations. Amplifying a single datum with fake trades ultimately makes the market worse at efficient resource allocation, and thus less useful to society. It's pissing in the pool from which everyone drinks.

My great...great great grandparents decided that the second character in the names of all sons and daughters follow a chinese poem so that when the extended family meets, just by our names alone, we would know which generation we were from. I only found out recenty. It’s now around the 18 character of the poem. My parents skipped a character in the poem for me because it was too difficult for them to find a meaningful name with the character. My name means to stay humble forever
Alright. This is a fair point. I go way out of my way to discourage underage visitors to the erotica website I run, and I do agree that there is tremendous sensitivity in the current era towards the notion of anything sexual involving children.

Despite that, I don't think such sensitivity is unreasonable. I do believe that children are sexual from quite an early age, and that that should be accepted and encouraged from a sexual wellness perspective, but simultaneously I think children are abused very frequently even in this era and we should continue to do everything we can to protect them from abuse.

I still see plenty of "stories of my childhood" on erotica websites, and I don't see anyone going out of their way to shut them down. Example: solotouch ( not my website, but a common example with many such stories )

Another legal example that comes to mind is the man who was convicted for importing obscene hentai manga. I personally believe hentai should be considered free speech but that is certainly not the case in the legal arena right now.

My point remains that I believe the world is very accepting of many types of erotica that I had previously thought would be highly frowned upon.

I will point out that under the miller test ( the main law concerning this in the US ), textual material that is artistically meaningful as writing does not constitute illegal writing. I myself shy away from writing any erotica describing explicit sexual activity of minors, but I still believe it to be legal if written well enough... I does though fail 2 of the 3 prongs on the miller test:

1. The average person would agree that description of explicit child sexual activity is illegal. ( fiction wise at least; I think accounts of childhood activity may be deemed acceptable by many normal folk )

2. Description of child sexual activity is patently offensive.

In the case of Lolita, for the most part, the book isn't terribly explicit in nature. It also ensures its legality by being an instance of well written fiction.

Other applicable law is "activity contributing to the delinquency of minors". So, it isn't unreasonable for something that is otherwise legal to be illegal ( for good reason ) if it is used to encourage minors to engage in sexual activity ( with adults or for the entertainment of adults )

Essentially, the world is very accepting of erotica in many forms. The world simultaneously has many laws to attempt to protect children while maintaining the general acceptance.
As a developer, I hate it. Not only because feature lacking. But also because it's so buggy in terms of literally every aspect. It don't really actually properly implemented all spec from web 2.0 properly. Bugs comes out from everywhere for no reason.

This is a sensible guide, by Kevin P. Lee, aimed at undergraduates taking math classes.

A similar guide, aimed at people writing research papers, is “How to Write Mathematics” by Paul Halmos (1970) [1].

They both start from a similar assumption:

Lee: “When you write a paper in a math class, your goal will be to communicate mathematical reasoning and ideas clearly to another person. The writing done in a math class is very similar to the writing done for other classes. You are probably already used to writing papers in other subjects like psychology, history, and literature. You can follow many of the same guidelines in a mathematics paper as you would in a paper written about these other subjects.”

Halmos: “The basic problem in writing mathematics is the same as in writing biology, writing a novel, or writing directions for assembling a harpsichord: the problem is to communicate an idea.”

No, it is not a good thing.

GDPR is a highly complex piece of legislation that is very hard to navigate and therefore only established companies with big bucks to spend on lawyers and extra engineering can profit from the ecosystem while everybody else is put at risk.

Complex legislation and regulations is the best way to keep monopolies in place. Same goes for the financial sector, telecoms, etc. It's nearly impossible for new players to emerge.

This complex frameworks are put it place so that big companies that do nasty things can get away with it because they will be able to demonstrate that they have complied with the regulations while emerging players will break their teeth on it.

Instead of regulating _how_ data collection and processing should be done, we should penalise _what_ is done with the data in simple clear terms, and make _people_ (CEOs, etc.) responsible not just giving fines to companies. Basically, reintroduce skin in the game.
