Our company is still trying to decide, but there clearly is a push to get mostly everyone back in the office. Most recent communication from CEO left a speck of hope for some fully remote positions ( and pre-covid, it was basically treated as a reward for some employees ), but it was very light on details.

Both me and my manager love remote and we are both doing what we can to show that remote works for the company.

That said, I fully agree it is not for everyone. My wife absolutely hated it. I just wish some middle management practice was not forced upon me, when it is clear it is not needed.

Distribution is OK. The main problem is the availability of the approved vaccine doses. AZ vaccine is easy to move around, at near 0°C.

As for the flip-flopping, it’s the usual media game. High public expectations, low delivery.

What is really annoying is that french pharma has not been able to invent a vaccine or at least able to manufacture someone else’s.

> despite not actually trying to replicate the Fleischmann and Pons experimental setup accurately

They (Fleischmann & Pons) did not prove anything in the first place, so after that the “not the true experiment” thing is a fallacy. There will always be too much of something or not enough of anything. You can never replicate exactly an experiment, but this does not prevent all of science from progressing and reproducing results. Physics does not care about who operates the experiment. So if something works only when specific people try it, it does not give any confidence in the results. In other words, it does set the bullshit alarm ringing.

There is no theoretical foundation for cold fusion, and no known mechanism for it to work. So even if it does exist, their stance of “just trust us, and let us move the goalposts about replicability” is just voodoo and, yes, bullshit.
Sorry, I didn't mean to speak with any authority on the specifics of KeePass. I'm neither a developer nor a user. I was just explaining the parent.

That said, the implementation probably differs on different platforms. 1Password, for example, uses a virtual "keyboard" on Android.
Imagine how much Microsoft would pay Discord for just a hosted version of the Discord service, or even an on-prem version that includes maintenance. Do you think they would still pay $10B for that, with none of the accounts, account data, brand reputation, etc.? Do you think they’d pay even 1% of $10B?
No. A minimal initrd + kernel is virtualized. Both Ubuntu and Kali are containers.

Even in the US there is something wrong when you have to skip courses in (for example) fine arts (e.g. visual arts, music, drama) because they aren't considered serious "college preparatory" subjects and usually won't help your admission chances unless you are a superstar.
Email does use TLS for encryption to the server but once it hits the server (usually owned by a mega corp like google) it gets decrypted so they can read it.

Email encryption is different because HTTPS certifies that you are connected to the owner of that domain name. How do I certify to you that the email you just received came from me and not someone pretending to be me?

The only bullet proof secure way is if I visit you in person and hand you a copy of my public key and then you use that key to verify my emails. We have had tools to do this with email for over a decade but they are so inconvenient that no one uses it outside of a few privacy nuts.
No, the biggest limitation on a fighter plane is the fuel fraction. Even new UCAVs won't be designed to handle G forces higher than current manned fighters because it isn't very useful and requires bad design compromises in other areas.

Oh please, rich EU countries haven't accepted the eastern block countries in the EU out of charity, they did it because it benefited them massively.

Big French and German businesses could now export their products to millions more people without tariffs and relocate production there lowering the cost and making insane profits.

Danish, French, Dutch and Austrian banks took over the banking business in the eastern block offering the citizens there much higher fees and interests than they would in their home countries, again, making massive profits which got funneled back "home".

IKEA, German and Austrian furniture and logging companies are heavily involved in illegal deforestation in Romania via bribes and corruption.

Austrian construction companies are often involved in corruption scandals for shitty and massively overpriced infrastructure projects in the Eastern Block, some with EU money even.

And not to mention the workforce and 'brain drain' that moved to the west benefiting the businesses, both white collar and especially agriculture, and also the landlords there on a huge scale.

The EU expansion has been a massive wealth transfer project of taxpayer money from rich countries to the big businesses and asset owners of the same rich countries, funneled through the newer poorer members in form of various EU projects. And of course the poorer members then get the blame by the populist politicians in the richer countries because they're "stealing your tax Euros and your jobs" even though their policies directly enabled and supported this wealth and job transfer in the first place as it benefited the big and well connected businesses in their countries.

I always considered "zero trust" to mean something like I generate and hold the key that encrypted the data before it was sent to your cloud.

Not this:

The Zero Trust model eliminates trust in any one element, node, or service by assuming that a breach is inevitable or has already occurred. The data-centric security model constantly limits access while also looking for anomalous or malicious activity.

Adding new production not only costs money, but also takes time. And while the EU has money, time was the problem. Risking to repeat myself, the initial orders were enough. And they took the existing production capacity i to account. Except some early prod hick ups, things were running rather smooth on the production end, until the public and media pressured the EU to increase order volumes.

I think the vaccine distribution will solve itself, not by throwing money at it but by the vaccine surplus we will have come June/July. It will be solved by throwing inventory at it, inventory covers up all kind of supply chain issues. Stringent supply management and control would be a lit faster and more efficient so. Ordering more probably made the problems worse, kind of like ehat happened with toilet paper a year ago.

The goal was not be the first to start, but to be fast to finish inoculation of the EU population. The initial ordering of the EU allowed that, everything member states and the EU did since January made this goal harder to achieve. And made it harder for developing countries to start their campaigns. All because the media knows shit about numbers, the politicians know shit about supply chains and everybody cares more about PR and elections than solving a problem.
I think a federated system is probably possible. If Matrix comes out with a killer server and client combo in the next few years, it could take off and really work. But I think if too many server implementations are created, they will end up in a state where its not possible to add new features anymore because a large percent of the user base won't be able to use them because their server implementation does not support them.

Having compatibility between systems like between discord and telegram is just going to be a nightmare no matter what you do since they both want to decide on their own what the features should be.
I like the idea. It's completely fine if your chosen target audience is Twitter users however if that wasn't your intention you may want to look into some way of using the application that doesn't involve a twitter account as not every-one has one or wants one :)
If AI can competently dogfight in an F16, doesn't that make the F16 completely obsolete for dogfighting? Because the same sort of AI in a craft that doesn't have to cater for a human or even bother making it back to base (say, a missile) is going to kick the butt of an F16 no matter who the pilot is.
The Chinese government also started limiting domestic flights in January 2020 but allowed foreign flights out until late March 2020 (https://english.alarabiya.net/features/2020/04/09/Coronaviru...). That seems like they were containing damage that affected them but were happy to risk the rest of the world. I’m not sure if this was an economic decision or something more malicious but it doesn’t matter - how are they not held accountable for this obvious export of the virus?

Meanwhile in the US, hysterical partisans attacked Trump for correctly naming the virus along with its origin. This resulted in a societal unwillingness to direct blame at the Chinese government for all their numerous missteps, starting with suppression of early reports of a new pneumonia like illness in late 2019. How many deaths could have been avoided with just the most basic level of transparency and responsibility?
OK, except I’m not a Backblaze user and I never have been (except for the 14-day free trial). I haven’t had any private correspondence with them since reporting the vulnerability I discovered in 2019. This exchange on HN was the first time I’ve ever knowingly[0] interacted with this guy. If he has actually been ‘dealing with [me] for years’ in the way you imply, it has been a very one-sided relationship.

As far as having an axe to grind goes… if wanting to protect others is grinding an axe, I guess I’m guilty of that. I don’t feel like a handful of topical messages warning people of a legitimate and clearly ongoing problem is some abusive behaviour on my part, but maybe I’m wrong. I’m happy to learn from others’ perspectives, since I’m sure I could be a more effective communicator.

[0] I suspect he was the one who replied to my vulnerability report since the same attitude was on display in those messages too, but I don’t know since that account was just named “bbqa”.
It varies a lot depending on your needs. Here are a few options.

Parts of postgres just heavily document the allowed range and expected domain of such functions (effectively encoding a type system into the comments and relying on a human to enforce it).

I've seen people drop down into assembly to prevent UB. Note that checking the overflow flag doesn't necessarily suffice; the problem happens during compilation -- e.g. if you write `x = (x-MIN_INT)+MAX_INT;` the compiler might be able to reason that the only value for x which wouldn't have UB is MIN_INT. Consequently the result must be MAX_INT, and the compiler can inline that constant anywhere else it's used without ever issuing the instructions so that you could check an overflow flag if you wanted to. If you do those calculations in assembly then you have a lot more freedom in that regard.

Some projects do manually check every arithmetic call (or more commonly they'll lean on the pre-processor to do that kind of busywork for them), or at least they'll do so out of some small, core kernel which is more heavily vetted and can't afford the overhead.
The privacy policy here just doesn't cut it. For example:

I would say so. The language specification of Scala is much shorter than Javas.

People are demonizing the CCP because they refuse to allow a thorough investigation.
Suppose you have seven dev teams of ten, plus a manager, tester, and a pm for each, plus an executive team of 9 people. 100 total people on the team. They each make an average of 200k a year. How many years will it take this team to recreate Discord?

If it would take them less than 500 years, then, in some sense, Discord isn't 10 billion dollars worth of software.

I think the point is that almost all of the value of Discord comes from the network effect of people locked in to using it. On the one hand, that's kind of a trivial observation, of course the users are value comes from. But, if you don't realize this, it's important to know. It means you that if even if you build something identical to Discord you're not going to be worth anything like as much - unless you also happen to get users. Or, put another way, you could build something technically worse, but if people adopted it for some reason, you'd be worth more.

1Pass definitely needs to add some kind of notice or alert when it fills in hidden fields. And it really needs to not overwrite a field that’s already been filled in. It’s really frustrating when it decides to h do everything you typed in.
I don't disagree, but the 'fit humans' has two components that AI pilots don't suffer from; blackout from G forces, and high situational awareness.

That said, they can put these planes into mock dogfights with human pilots on the redflag range in Nevada and see where they have advantages and where they fall down. Personally I would expect this sort of thing to be a pilot assist long before we got to Level 3 war fighting.

That's only currently possible to the extent that we can build a realistic simulator for the problem we are trying to solve, over which an RL model can learn a good state-action function. Which means that most real-world problems involving planning etc aren't currently amenable to AI/ML methods.
The successes of fuzzing projects like oss-fuzz have demonstrated significant shortcomings to hand-curating test cases in the manner you describe.

People have tried to make forgeries of artwork they definitely didn't create themselves; go see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_for_Fake.

The fact that some people are minting fakes and selling them on open bazaars like OpenSea [0] is completely irrelevant to the fact that NFTs can easily prove provenance. For example, if you buy a CryptoPunk, anyone with serious interest can trivially prove the provenance of what they are buying given the original contract is well known.

Most artwork of value is being minted through well known platforms with identifiable contracts (like ArtBlocks or SuperRare), or via other identifiable means.

In 50 years, if an artwork is still highly valued, Christie's or Sotheby's will be able to prove an artwork is an original much more easily if it's an NFT than they can today.

Relatedly, this blog post, "So you want to abolish time zones"[0] elaborates a hypothetical scenario of calling someone in Melbourne, and how complicated it would be without time zones (since if it's 4 am everywhere, what's the solar time in Melbourne)? I find it hard to imagine a time zone-free world in which you wouldn't also need a reference for when solar time happens in different regions, which would just end up being a messy version of time zones all over again.

Various global organizations and groups already use UTC to coordinate, so it seems we already have an opt-in solution for those who really need to abolish time zones.
