What you are describing is association, not intuition. It is not the responsibility of scientific laborers to name and structure things in order to create convenient associations for cramming physics undergrads. Intuition involves a deep understanding of the objects and processes, a lot more harrowing than memorizing charges..
You can, but I’d assume they don’t. Plain text all the way!

Ok, yes. Encryption could work, but encrypted passwords aren’t much better than plain text ones.

It was not expensive, merely inconvenient, but 1Password and Waze combined to give me a two hours of frustration in December. At the end I went back to the beginning and reported the experience here. I wrote on twitter,

"Let's follow a trail of really Bad Tech Decisions between Waze and 1Password."

Of the two, 1Password did reach out, but Support emails went nowhere. Waze never reached out at all.
I'm not trying to convince you. You already said no one could reach a different conclusion in good faith. I linked Stallman's comments so other people can decide for themselves.

Maybe you don't like I only mentioned in passing Stallman said anything about consent. But it's irrelevant to the claim he didn't advocate pedophilia. And now he understands why people say children can't consent.[1]

Your source says 20 states have no minimum age "with a parental or judicial waiver". You left out that detail. The minimum age without a waiver is 18 or over in all states.[2] Wikipedia's source says only 13 states don't have a statutory minimum age. And at least 1 of them has a minimum age through case law.[3]

This usually affects but doesn't necessarily eliminate the age of consent. California has a law against "any lewd or lascivious act" with a child under 14 for example. Spouses aren't exempt.[4]

I didn't mention any countries. But Wikipedia listed only 4 countries with a general age of consent below 13. So almost the whole world agrees adults having sex with children is wrong. Even though they don't agree when adolescents are mature enough.

Part of it is the separation. Another part is that it becomes a little depressing for me to be in the same place all day every day. There’s just no variety in your day. Going to an office you at least are in a different place for a while, there’s other people around, even if they’re not right in the office with me. Commuting you see different things and get a feel for what’s going on. There’s an outside world.

I mean sure you can go for walks and run errands while you’re working from home, but somehow it wasn’t the same for me.
Even better would be an actual inventive to not lie to get your treatment approved, rather than the opposite.
From the zfs man page:

> ZFS will encrypt file and zvol data, file attributes, ACLs, permission bits, directory listings, FUID mappings, and userused / groupused data.

I don't believe that the native encryption ever leaked file listings. That could have been something that the older/non-native techniques did.

Nit: I think you mean hashing, not encryption.

Though, my bank uses a dual-password setup where the first password is required in its entirety and a few letters of the second password are required. I suspect this is stored by using a (hopefully memory-hard) salted key derivation function/password hash function (such as Argon2 or scrypt) to derive an encryption key from the first password, which is then used to decrypt the second password.

At least, that's the way I'd design the system to minimize consequences of database compromise. Users are often not creative and often use related passwords. You'd want all of the stored information about the second password to provide clues to the first password only if the attacker had already cracked the first password. Hashing all of the permutations really blows up storage space and DB I/O.

That is correct, this script will not add any encryption.

It would be trivial to add however by adding gpg into the send command pipeline:

/sbin/zfs send --raw -cp $snapshot | pv -s $snapshot_size | aws s3 cp - <args>

would become:

/sbin/zfs send --raw -cp $snapshot | gpg --encrypt <args> | pv -s $snapshot_size | aws s3 cp - <args>

I know this sounds like an empowering story, and it may even be true, but don't actually follow this example. If you're at the point where they'd rather send you legal threats than pay you, even escrow is not going to help you much. The escrow process may force them to pay, but there is no guarantee you'll be able to keep that money if they really decide to go after you.

People like that would much rather spend $2.5M on courts and lawyers than let a worker walk home with 250k, or even 25k. Agreeing to a deal like this is an incredible minefield that may blow up on you even years later.
What can be done, will be done.

Eventually, computational biological modeling is going to be good enough for mutation exploration purposes. From the papers I've seen during this pandemic, it largely already is.

At that point, it becomes straightforward (not easy, but not unknown) to share and realize those modeled organisms.

But at some point, we don't know what we don't know. And putting strains into biological models is important.

Investing in infrastructure and capability against a broad range of threats is important too. mRNA-based rapid vaccine platforms (and especially lipid encapsulation) will probably win a Nobel in a few years, and thank god we've spent the last 30+ years working on them.
You have no way of knowing that it diverged decades ago. That's a guess based on the number of mutations. But as we've seen with COVID-19, these viruses have more of a punctuated equilibrium behavior around mutations. "Decades" worth of mutations can happen in a single immune-compromised host in a matter of weeks. (And fwiw I'd love a source for that "decades" claim. The strains are much more closely related than that.)

RaTG13 is the closest virus found in the wild to SARS-CoV-2. Samples of it were shipped to the Wuhan lab, which does so-called "gain of function research"--AKA experimenting with artificially sped up mutation rates. Not very long thereafter, SARS-CoV-2 shows up in the surrounding metropolitan area with a very, very similar genome. They're the nearest siblings on the phylogenetic tree.

It's only politics which keep people from calling this the smoking gun it really is.

Don't conflate Merck with Merck. There's two "Merck", one is Merck KGaA, which is a German company, and the other one is Merck & Co. Inc., which is the US company. These are independent entities today, they just share a common history by originally being a German company, of which the US company was splitted off during WW1.

The Oxford/Merck deal would have been with Merck KGaA, as far as I know. The US government would have had no means to apply export bans to a German-based company.
The abominable UX in this situation is that users need to give free access to their credit card for payment, at the promise that the other party will play nice. This is backed by strong laws, but still absurd.

The control should be inversed: the 3rd party should request payment from your bank and you would be able to confirm it from the bank website or app.

This is already possible in Portugal with an app where you can give a seller your phone number and it prompts you for payment.

Ironic that even that rant could be characterized as misogynistic in how it dispenses its ire:

One person in the list is a former chair of the Wikimedia board (and wikipedia arbitration committee member), the another is an academic whom among many other things has written some papers on Wikipedia.

Yet it's the second person-- a man-- the author uses "seems super involved with Wikipedia" as a smear against, the first -- a woman-- is ignored.

While I'm sure she welcomed dodging that harassment, it's kind of sad that even when supposedly defending women this speaker seems doesn't take them seriously.

Equality should include equality in being targeted with rediculous smears. :)
Very true. I know a couple of people who like Teams, they work in healthcare and education. I think that mostly just speaks about the horrid quality of the software they usually have to face.

Each and every tech worker I know loathes Teams with passion. On the upside it's like a common enemy so there's a small team building aspect to using it.
I'm curious to the longer term effects of companies that move hybrid setups. It would seem to me (although anecdotically) that in this setup working fully remote might hinder career growth due to visibility and being less involved in new projects and ideas. It's also easier to form a bond with colleagues f2f compared to over a VC.
> "Plenty of developers to hire from" is often optimizing for the wrong problem. In many lines of business, domain expertise is a much more valuable skill, because it can only be developed through years of first-hand experience. A new programming language, on the other hand, can typically be taught to a reasonably skilled programmer in no more than a couple weeks.

This is a gross programming fallacy.

Yes, you'll learn the language at the superficial level. But learning the ecosystem, best practices, that takes years.

Unless your project is short lived or something trivial, in which care you won't care. But if it's going to live for a long time and will have a major impact, the decision to hire programmers that have 0 experience in your target language will bite you in the butt, years later.
This is interesting development. Back then when Pons and Fleischmann first came out with this in 89, they were heavily ridiculed ( or smeared) by main stream academics like MIT.

MicroPython: A lean and efficient Python implementation for microcontrollers
Thanks. It was unexpected to me as well. The original "magic" kernel was really along the lines of interpolation (particularly by large factors — there were all sorts of algorithms out there, e.g. repeatedly upsizing by small factors, to avoid aliasing ands pixelation artifacts) and wasn't seeking to approximate the properties of the sinc function / rectangular low-pass filter at all. Only after really understanding in practical terms (i.e. on millions of test images) the blurring nature of the continuum generalization of that kernel did I apply sharpening, and that's when it starts to resemble the Lanczos approximations. It's really the properties around harmonics of the sampling frequency that make the big difference — and that's where the high-order zeros come into play, that the Lanczos approximations don't possess.
Intellij idea for project based coding, nvim/emacs for quick edits. I've gone from "my life lives in emacs and org mode" to "I use a couple made for purpose apps and live with the fact that not everything is a buffer in a self modifying strange loop."
Let me try to draw a picture. Say you have a web based game engine. It is the only game engine as a service in the market which also runs in a browser. Then, a popular open source game engine becomes web based too. Before, you had no competitors, now you have to compete against a product that's free.

You may lose some costumers that only cared about it being web based and who are willing to learn another engine. Not only that, a single guy decides to host the game engine in the cloud and charge really cheap for it. Now, if you want to compete in price, you probably have to fire all your game engine devs and significantly downsize. Either that or have vastly superiour features to justify your higher price in the eyes of the costumers. All that threats your company's existence.

I'm not saying it's impossible to compete, but the more overlap between your product and a free software product, the bigger the threat will be.

I tried to re-run the json parsing test mentioned in the article using latest stable version for both (not super scientific but just compiling the same code using same command and running the binary against the same json ).

Oh, the infrastructure has been/is being laid. It's called BharatNet.

154,000 villages (of around 600,000) are now connected using OFC[1]

With private service providers in a city, I pay around $15/month for a 150Mbps connection with a 1000GB data cap (after which the speed drops to 1Mbps). I can go up to a 1000Mbps/5500GB plan at around $80.

BharatNet will likely be cheaper since it's government run.

Poland has a neat system - you input one time code into the sellers payment processor, and then you get to confirm the payment in your app.

Code is one time use, valid for 2 minutes - and you can see all the details in the confirmation that comes from your banking app.

you can also use the same system to tie your phone number to your bank acc, letting other people in this system send you money instantly without extra fees between different banks - and you only need to share your phone number.

It's the separation of church and state, right? Obviously annecdata, but a pretty decent amount of people I know struggle with the blurry lines that working from home brings.

Like, it's easy to say "when I put on work clothes [whatever they may be] and leave the house to go to the office I'm 'working'." You're paid to go to a place and sit there for 7 hours. Everything that happens in that time is easy to mentally stick in the "they're paying me for this" box.

If you're working from home and sat on the sofa wearing your PJs from the night before until midday the separation is much harder. Does the working day start when you read that first email on your phone at 7.15am (that normally you don't worry about until you're on the train)? When does it end? What if someone emails when you're making your dinner? Does it feel like replying to a work email at home, or an extension of your working day?

This all seems to be amplified greatly if you're not particularly fussed about your job. FWIW and in my experience - the people who do the best working from home get at least some kind of work satisfaction, and are also best at properly defining their working day and getting in to it as if they were actually leaving the house.

Python typecheckers (both pyright and mypy, I believe) do this (isinstance checks and some other checks in conditionals narrow the type on the defended path.)
Yes, and if you're comfortable pulling down the code and running 'make' on any *nix system, there is an executable 'resize_image' that lets you test it out for yourself. I'm always looking out for corner cases that stress-test the differences between the algorithms, so let me know if you find any good ones.
> Compiler still needs to parse your code to determine if your import is used or not.

Parsing is easy. And it's fast. On top of that the compiler already knows it's unused:

--- start quote ---

Go programs with unused imports do not compile. This is a deliberate feature of the language as importing packages slow down the compiler.

--- end quote ---

So, the compiler has already parsed the file, and determined that the import is unused. And refuses to compile further, because... it needs to import that package anyway? Why?

Haha, no. If you need a dozen different tools, there's no question about effectiveness at all.

I think your perspective is fair.

Personally, I think that the Commission should be directly elected by the Parliament from it's members, which would make it much more similar to the national governments.

I'm not sure the Council (i.e. the member states) would agree to that though.

At least since Lisbon, the EP has some (not enough) power over Commissioners.
