What's the root cause? Not enough birds of prey?
This lines up with my unverified theory (I can't seem to find hard information about FPS boost online).

My theory is that it detects a list of certain compatible games and then "lies" to the game engine through syscalls for clocks or vsync or whatever the game uses to determine frame timings (this would trick a game locked at 30 to run at 60, for example).

If this is indeed how it works, it could well break other things that relied on those timing systems, like the scripted events you're describing.
> I see these answers and I always get the feeling that they treat existing software (browsers, websites, os) like something that was handed down by God in the book of law.

There's two sides for this. For one, this is the infrastructure that already exists and that is out there in the wild. If you start selling 500V electric appliances, people can of course buy transformers or the state could upgrade its grid, but in reality, changing the existing infrastructure to suddenly support something different is a huge effort. It's far easier and more economical to treat the given infrastructure as fixed and working within its bounds.

On the other hand, it usually adds a lot of needless complexity to break layers. Sometimes it is worth it (ZFS might be a good example), but usually it isn't. Imagine, for example, if Firefox needed to be patched to support SSDs or SD cards because it did some magic and accessed the HDD firmware directly - this would arguably be a bad idea.

> The browser already asks the user for permission through the OS - it does for location, webcam, filesystem, etc - there's no context needed because you're actively engaged with it, the browser or the os system don't need any more context than the user clicked Yes or No for this request.

Sure it does. The OS<->Browser boundary is basically about what the browser executable itself can do to the OS; the OS has no context on the finer granularity of websites. Going back to the electrical grid: My power company is worried about bringing electricity to my flat connection; turning specific appliances on or off is my part. It would be very strange if the power company would suddenly be in charge on whether my kettle specifically should have power.

> The other part of the implementation is fining the companies. I'm sure after a few millions every month they'll stop making SDK's that don't enforce collecting authorisation from the user before tracking.

I fully agree on that and we need more of that, but that is irrespective of how the user is asked whether he wants to accept cookies/tracking.
Right, but I would bet that even today African Americans make up a very small miniority of people of African heritage in the country of Georgia and African Americans were certainly not numerous enough there in the 1890s to have their own newspapers.
you don't really need very sophisticated model for this.

just use dlib to detect face landmarks and apply some very basic hue/contrast/brightness localized filter to imitate lipstick, make-up, mascara, etc.

that's what some software can already do out of the box (e.g. zoom) and the results are very good

I didn’t say anything about other regulated contexts? The regulations and enforcement agency exists because this was happening long before cryptocurrency.

"very quickly changes to vastly different terrain"

I anticipate potential use-cases ('level/scene generation' in game content creation) where this actually turns out to be the most valuable aspect of the output.
I can't imagine that it would be too much of a stretch to 'start with a photo' as a 'seed' and use it to create a 3D world.
My only concern would be 'sameyness tendency', in other words, the problem would be that a variety of seed photos of similar kinds of scenes would end up creating worlds that were too similar to one another to make 'still photo to fly-through movie to navigable detailed 3D world' a sufficiently 'creative' source of sufficiently differentiated new game worlds (or of sufficiently differentiated new fly-through movies).
I suspect this could all be fixed by 'differentiator algorithms' interfering with the key variables of the 'refinement' process, as well as broadening and continually adding to the range of movies in the training data.

Hover _anything_ sucks IMO. I have noticed a trend lately where the hover delay seems to be drastically reduced. This means that as I move my mouse around a page, I am constantly bombarded with hover popups that come and go.

If an organisation is serious about building mental fortitude, one of the worst (and ineffective to the point of being counter-productive) ways to do that is to let bullies and weak-willed followers freestyle brutalise people.

It doesn't make people stronger. It doesn't create mental fortitude. It just selects for people who will enjoy or put up with that kind of bullshit.

Nobody teaches marksmanship by giving untrained recruits a big box of ammo and seeing who hits the target. Nobody teaches fieldcraft by just releasing untrained people without equipment into the woods and seeing which of them don't starve or die of exposure. Why the hell would anyone try to instill mental fortitude (which is so vitally important in times of stress) through such an incompetent, cack-handed and damaging way? They wouldn't. They're just looking for an excuse to look the other way.

> So, under the new legislation, a typical worker could expect $985 a week for four months ($600 in extra relief plus state benefits), followed by up to 23 weeks of $385 a week in standard state benefits. Unemployment benefits are taxable.

So their normal insurance (which they paid for) covers everything but 600x24 = $14,400 in federal benefits they’re not normally entitled to.

Based on they above quote it sounds like $32.5k would be the upper end. Where do you get $55k? And remember they PAID into state level insurance programs for the majority of that and they’re entitled to everything but the extra $14.4K.

You're right.

My answers go something like this:

1. We handle a company's security documentation the same way companies treat any sensitive info they are storing (credit card data, PII, etc). We store it encrypted at rest and in transit, ensure that only employees who need access to said data have that access, require 2FA on everything, require sufficiently strong passwords, encrypt the hard drives of our laptops, virus scan every file that is uploaded before use, virus scan our servers daily, virus scan our laptops daily, etc, etc. We are not SOC2 compliant today but are heading down that path so that we can provide our customers with the confidence that we can be trusted with their information.

2. We have liability insurance for our own company, but we do not take liability for our answers because every single answer is required to be reviewed by an admin or security team member of our client before it can be exported from Stacksi. If an answer has not been pulled directly from a client's policies, we specifically highlight it and review it with the client to ensure that it is accurate and that they are 100% comfortable with it.

3. I have no idea what an assessor might think of one of their vendors using a company like Stacksi to help handle questionnaires, and I imagine it would vary wildly from person to person. However, I see Stacksi exactly the same as having an extra team member on your infosec team who exclusively handles inbound questionnaires. You (their boss) make sure they are familiar with the policies and procedures of your company, and then you review their work to ensure that it is accurate. Does it really matter whether that person is a full time employee or your company, an infosec contractor who helps out part time, or a service like Stacksi?

Practically all new commercial GNSS receivers have been multi-constellation receivers for a while. They work with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou. All these competing systems work as backups to others. Most consumer level scenarios mentioned in the article are not actualized if only GPS goes down.

>Americans depend on GPS too much for the federal government to wait for it to fail. A reliable backup is needed as soon as possible.

FCC has been trying to prevent or slow down the use of these other GNSS systems within the US. Galileo was not not authorized for use in the US until 2018. That's idiotic. The geopolitical risk can be mitigated with trust hierarchy. GPS and Galileo over GOLNASS and BeiDou for example.

I'm not a UX guy myself, but our team has a rule to use some form of indicator like the "i in a circle" or ? in a circle. These are always clickable, so if you see an "i" you can click it to get the pop-up. We do avoid hovers, though our reasoning is that we're making information dense applications. Having a bunch of hover tips pop up as you're trying to navigate a table can get frustrating. If hover is used, it'll most likely be a different indicator and in the header or footer area.

Just Google "IP addresses GDPR" and you will see several different conclusions. I actually looked at the site of the enforcement authority in my country and they say you can only store the first 3 bytes of an IP address. But enforcement authorities in other countries may claim differently.

My point is that the person said "I don't want websites to be able to send notifications to my phone", and then you responded by explaining how one can prevent such notifications via configuration.

That is true, but not really relevant to what he said. He didn't say "I wish there was a way to configure my browser to not send notifications to my phone".

You then followed up with a snarky line telling them the thing that bothers them doesn't actually bother them, and that wasn't great either.

As a writer, I have an extremely vivid imagination. Same with my friends who are writers. We all joke that our Google searches have us on every FBI watchlist that exist and a few that don’t.

The same goes with many artists. Embracing creativity involves some degree of getting rid of self-censorship.

I can imagine entire worlds of horrible things. In my head, I can examine human nature unbound by cultural norms, design whole societies based on different rules.

There is an unfortunate belief that a person’s writing is representative of their personal beliefs and moral codes. Such things influence someone’s writing, of course, but you’re examine things from the wrong direction if you try to apply the writing back to the author.

What you describe is exactly what we do. Every single answer output by Stacksi is required to be explicitly approved by a member of our client's infosec team before it can be exported and used. Questions that we don't know the answer to or that we have taken an educated guess at are explicitly flagged as such and our reviewed together by our team and the questionnaire reviewer at the client.

I see Stacksi as giving our client's an extra pair of hands on their team to help with this tedious work. We're a jr. team member though, so our work needs to be checked over before being sent :)

Having done my duty for the Norwegian army, I'd say there is some justification for having a level of "abuse" in the military, due to the stressful combat you may have to survive one day. After all, in times of war, the reward for underperformance is death. Even so, that is no excuse for bullying or extortion. And to me this story sounds much more like the latter.

Being hired by an office is not going to war, no matter how you frame it. And pouring so much work on subordinates that they buckle or quit, isn't really effective either, from more standpoints than one, and especially if the job cannot reasonably be optimized any further. If so this practise reveals a pretty horrid view on your fellow human beings as disposable. While a certain amount of stress can be a good motivator, in the end it just wears you out. Makes me curious, though. If you work at Goldman Sachs, is the pay so bad that you cannot afford an assistant? Or are the bosses there really so stingy and morally empty that they'd rather wear people out, than foster a productive environment? When their practise is so short term, it makes me wonder about the rest of their business.
