The network cable I want to plug into a open jack doesn't weight 50lbs though. I've worked in places where I need a union electrician to do that task though. Fortunately the union was cool in that location and just ignored my crawling under my desk, I'm told in other offices they were a lot more strict.

You’re missing the point that that doesn’t mean they can’t, it just means you didn’t get exposed to the opportunities to have them. I certainly have had similar online experiences and probably more - my entire early career was built off of irc relationships, and my most substantial network that has been the most stable over time is built in Usenet and irc relationships. Just because your experiences in life differ doesn’t mean it’s the only path.
What's clever about it? They cheated, got caught, got fined $20 billion dollars, and spend some time in prison. It sounds pretty dumb to me.
Yes, but my main concern was the data from my password manager, which existed elsewhere.

I don't remember for certain, but I may have set my password store to be permanently open, which leaves a copy of the encryption key in the user directory.

Really, the practice should already be, "if you have data you care about, then always have offsite backups".
We should definitely criticise advertising. I like to focus on how much it doesn't work, and how much of the industry is borderline fraud.

I worry a lot less about it manipulating people, because it's pretty bad at that. Maybe at the margins (and that's great for large businesses), but advertising can only push you towards something, it's not going to drag you kicking and screaming.
There's a reason raspberry pi's are on arm. x86 does not do well in small form factor and would actually perform far worse is this situation.

Yep. Every time I even Google/Youtube some right winger person I just get articles/videos from leftist sources. I want to hear their views and all I get are Jon Oliver clips.

I'm a super centrist. Anyone who is on the left has no clue of the censorship going on. I have to use Google-Fu to find anything of substance on the right.
As a US citizen, I would love for there to be a reasonably-priced US-made alternative. I guess Netgear could be one[0], but their Insight management system is cloud-only, isn't it? Happy to be corrected.

I think I'd rather take an ostensibly-offline controller from China than a cloud-enabled one from the US, though I'm not really happy with those options. :-(

Are there some good options I missed? Would like to hear about them, if there are any.

[0] I expect their hardware is made in China, even if their controller may not be.

Maybe I'm giving Amazon too much credit but I would think they would do a better job or more likely outsource this out to a group that would do a better job.
And I'm on the side of the employees, hoping they unionize (effectively!).

I'd guess it's neither Amazon or pro-union employees but rather random people trying to make Amazon look bad.
Repl development is great for exploration, when you don't quite know the right representation of your problem yet.

The alternatives isn't changing your development environment, it's writing on a white board
I can know as much relational algebra as I like, but I just had a fun interaction with a set of lawyers (in my day-to-day life business, not work) where the Word skills were still necessary.

The are independent of the screen but also of the user preferences. Using rem or relative sizes bases your sizing off of the user's selected font size. As soon as you size something in px you have just thrown away the user's font size choice.
It's possible this is referring to this feature: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2019/12/apple-explains-mysteriou...

Generally speaking, Apple is drastically better about location services privacy. For instance, Apple Maps does not tie any location data nor direction requests to your Apple ID, and regularly rotates identifiers for devices used by the service: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212039
It wouldn't take much for that reality to be distorted and end up leaving some people with the impression that Amazon has security cameras watching who votes. That's going to suppress the vote and potentially alter the outcome.

Just look at this thread and how much confusion over what the cameras are recording.
No, it's the location it uses to report to Apple Maps for the purposes of improving traffic.
So in 96 the author of the article didn't like his books? Is that your only gripe? I think Trump can take it...

Apparently, that seems to be what Leah is doing:

The scope of this breach is frightening.

Would be great to better understand how the Lastpass credentials got leaked in the first place.

Anyone found any comment on that?
Very cool, I've always wanted to watch the NSA watching me!
Well this absolutely sucks :(. I've been a huge supporter of Ubiquiti ever since I was buying mini their PCI cards and sticking them into soekris engineering boards (ubiquiti started out as a hardware company).

The magic thing that absolutely sold me on their equipment was the ease with with you could provision and mesh new gear. Does anybody have anything that compares with that ease of use?

To explain what I mean: I recently had a buddy move into our guest house/apartment. While we waited for the ISP to come out and hook up his internet, I just put an AP on his counter, powered it up, and meshed it into our home network. The whole process took less than a minute and didn't require any running of ethernet.

(Maybe that's a common feature nowadays and I've just been out of the industry for so long?)
I can't speak to the newer UniFi garbage, but the selling point for their Edge network products was that you could have Cisco-ish managed switches and routers without paying the absurd prices for ASICs, licenses, ios upgrades, parasitic middleman distributors, etc.
Neither of your assertions answered my question. Have a good day
Then there's no reason for her to be disparaging and erasing the other maintainers. Also, I question what "fork" really means here.
Sega should be taking their lawyers to court. The amount of tarnish to their brand they have garnered from gross incompetence is surely breach of contract somehow.
Essentially, you've made svg text a special case. So diagram-based languages and frankly any graph-drawing framework that let you specify text labels go out the window.

I think svg `<glyph>` was meant to be the answer to this question, but that was an answer for people who don't care about readability. So now it is rightly deprecated.

Unfortunately, that leaves essentially no answer except guessing and checking with pixel-sized fonts to make sure font-rendering-stack development troglodytes haven't screwed up my diagrams.

So don't touch my pixel sizes, bro.
It's very usual in Haskell to define some error enumeration, and transit your data in `Either ErrorType a`. It's not a bad way to organize your code, but there is no chance at all that you'll get some universal error enumeration that will be useful for everybody.
They all bloom within a few days to a week of each other. The variance is due to local conditions of sunlight, temperature, etc. The entire process is quite sharp: it goes from nothing to stunning blooms to empty in the space of a week or so.

For normalization, they measure the "peak" bloom, the day with the most trees in blossom at once.
One of the services Apple generally provides is that a phone is locked to a given Apple ID, such that if you wipe it, it still knows it belongs to a given owner, and you need to unlock that for someone else to activate it. It wouldn't be unreasonable to suggest Apple would want Find My iPhone to work even after it's reset.

That being said, my theory is in another comment.
upside: it can do more (you can write on it) and the company enables ssh access into your device without having to jailbreak etc.

Yes, the company could be more open, but I feel like the remarkable is my device a lot more than I do with the kindle.
>I think people need to understand you are responsible for what you do on a computer; your clicks, searches, taps, installed app list, and basically everything is being recorded regardless of consent (which appears to be an illusion these days).

While I agree with this in principle, I've never really understood why we forgive poor user behaviour when it comes to computers when we don't do the same with basically any other tool humans regularly use, despite the negative consequences being comparable, I don't think it's reasonable to expect people to just quietly accept 'tracking's just the way it is, deal with it.'

That doesn't come down to poor user behaviour in that case, it comes down to malicious behaviour by device manufacturers and software developers in the name of profit.

It's all well and good to expect users to take steps to deal with that behaviour, but it shouldn't just be accepted that, 'that's just the way it is.' And companies should be held accountable for at least the deceit that surrounds it.

Just being honest and open about it all would be a start. At least then you could make the excuse 'oh well the user should have tried harder to not be tracked.' Because they have a fair chance of knowing where and how they're being tracked.

This current system of deceit and bullshit is the problem.
They're heading towards that $1m per engine, but that price includes development effort. The cost to make 1000 engines is not going to be 10 times the price of making 100 engines, the more that are made, the better they get at making them
What are the best alternatives to iOS and Android? Is it reasonable to consider the hardware itself "safe", given that the software tracks and calls home about every single thing it does? What are the alternatives?
Well, if that doesn't signal the end of combustion consumer vehicles, I don't know what does!!
Yeah, my gp[2][0] comment addresses okayish error values with Case(...). It’s interesting what do you think of this type? What would a language look like if that was built-in?
> And because "concise" should be measure in the number of tokens needed to achieve certain functionality, not by excessive use of single character tokens.

What's the difference if the symbols were meant to have specific mathematical meanings and are really meant to be the only representation?

Plus, readability is subjective.
Doesn't change the fact I'm glad they excluded features that make it unfavourable to crypto people - for any reason - so that I can buy a pi for what it's intended for at a decent price instead of wondering if people are buying them to shove them up their arse.
Digi-Key sourcing quick-turn PCBs
EMH serves the same purpose to economics as Euclidean space serves to geometry. If the hypothesis were true I can make a bunch of proofs and predictions in economics. The problem is when people confuse EMH with a fact, not an idea that is never really true in the real world, like an infinite perfectly flat plane.
A lot of this reveals the way that Google itself perceives Android devices, and also ChromeOS devices to a lesser extent, to be inside their infrastructure. Years ago Google SRE wanted to extend observability beyond their edge so that there could be an SRE team responsible for the performance of first-party mobile applications. So, there's an SRE team at Google with a dashboard that shows them Google search latency from Google app v42 and v43 which is deployed to 1% of clients. This is why there is so much telemetry.

Another big thing about Android is anti-abuse, keeping people from running ad click fraud in apps running on emulators. That is the whole DroidGuard thing that the paper mentions and doesn't explore further. It is a device-specific virtual machine and bytecode for the virtual machine which is intended to authenticate it as a real device, not an emulator.

Anyway check out this slide deck for how Google SRE views mobile as being in their world: https://www.usenix.org/sites/default/files/conference/protec...

PS that team is called MISRE, pronounced "misery" and some of the founders of that team migrated from "SAD SRE" make of that what you will.

Ironically they can factually make that statement now as well.
There have been cases in the past where someone did a vote for me or [some violent act that they were capable of following up on]. The audit trail needs to break someplace between the individual voter and the actual vote they cast. We still need a good trail to believe that all votes were counted correctly, only people who should vote voted, and nobody voted more than they were allowed. This is a hard problem.
Maybe zoom isn’t the best tool for the job? Just because it was the tool laying around when a global natural disaster forces us into isolation for a year and a half doesn’t mean it was a tool purpose built for these situations based on extensive global experiences.

Sounds like a case of “I don’t like the tools so therefore the domain must be insurmountable,” which tells me it’s ripe for some very clever people with some strong experience and opinions on how to organize online conferences and workshops to make a fortune.
yes, I'm watching them to see the incongruence. But primarily, the Chinese constitution calls for upholding territorial unity, and this undermines every other right granted in the constitution, and this is the nature of most of their punishments domestically, demands from foreigners (like when actors and celebrities end up saying boilerplate comments about Chinese sovereignty and unity, and it barely makes any sense to the English audience about why they would say that), and it is also congruent with their actions.

Now, is the limitation of my perspective that they can rationalize anything with this? Or that the unanimous People's Congress can update the constitution if any other roadblock is in their way? Sure. I just don't see that predilection.

There are plenty of disputed land borders around the edges of China. But I just don't see things beyond that and the South China Sea.

I was surprised to see the treatment of their state of Inner Mongolia, and to me this is a separate form of discrimination in favor of Han Chinese (or something more nuanced). My line in the sand - for the expansionist opinion - would be taking pieces of Mongolia. Or way into states of India and bordering nations. Or way past Xinjiang.
Ask HN: Any Interest in a Personal HSM?
I've created an HSM that I'd price around $450 USD. Could be used for home or small office. I may setup a site and collect emails for pre-orders, but wanted to get a temperature here first.

It has:

- Encrypted root file system
- Secure key storage and generation
- Physical tamper detection - perimeter breach, accelerometer
- Measures and authenticates identity of host device
- Supports TLS client certificates and digital signatures
- Precision Real Time Clock, battery backed
- Full HTTPS API for communication
Yes, when your phone is locked, but only if you've logged the phone into your iCloud account.
> Optimizing for "engagement" requires that you offer the mind an endless set of distractions in lieu of good engaging content. Over time the mind starts to degrade to a point where its difficult to digest long-form content and enjoy it as a much healthier habit.

This is another really strong claim. I find it odd that most people are so sceptical of the claims established by social science research, except when it confirms a previously held theory.

TV optimises for engagement. Do you think that TV lead to the destruction of people's ability to engage meaningfully with the world, or is that distinction reserved for products invented after (I assume) you were born.

Cos I remember how much everyone gave out about TV (and I was one of those people!) and to see the entire argument wholesale lifted and applied to a completely different medium of communication is disconcerting, to say the least.

When they introduced callhomes/telemetry sometime in the 5.x code i blocked their known DNS entries and then setup firewall rules to block all internet access outside of the Ubuntu Repos..
This kind of thing always reminds me of a rule I was taught in sixth grade English - you may never start a sentence with the word and.

This is, of course, totally incorrect both from the usage and grammatical perspectives. Nonetheless, most people (especially when the people in question are sixth graders) will be better served in terms of the quality of writing they product by simply following the rule rather than spending the time to try to fully understand the nuance behind it.
I personally would not trade the hat real estate for an M.2 slot in most use cases. I use that hat slot for peripherals that enable unique and fun applications. Micro SD is horribly unreliable, but idk what the solution is without trading a significant amount of space.
There are loads of high performance Arm chips, but they're pretty much all in the server space, ie power hungry. But does any of that matter for a console? The Switch seems to be phenomenally successful and yet is powered by a very modest 64 bit Arm chip (4 x Cortex A57, an 8 year old microarchitecture).
IIUC, this particular article deals only with keeping a camera on the ballot box after it's been sealed, and on the subsequent vote-counting.

So I don't think this poses a risk to anonymous voting per se.
I agree, by default I would want to trust the line height of my font designer, just like I trust their letter spacing. I very rarely use multiple fonts on the same line (maybe a monospace font for inline code?).
If I were MS or Sony I'd choose the GPU first and take whatever CPU comes with that GPU.

I see REPL driven development more akin to writing music. I pick up the guitar and start playing. I can work on a small fragment and improve it until it sounds good to me. Or I can play the whole song. At all times I have instant feedback and I can hear what I'm working on.

In the case of the REPL you are playing your program. You can play a file, a function, or half of a function. Until it sounds right.

I lack the skill to use music notation for composition, so I rely on my instrument to give me feedback. And I lack the skill to execute the program in my head before I press compile, that's why I rely on the REPL.

Multi-Billion Parameter Model Training with PyTorch Lightning and DeepSpeed
Last week my Pixel started to display an overlay with closed captions of the audio flowing through the device.

It listens in on any audio and transcribes it. Probably handy for podcasts, but other things are just scary.

Maybe it's OK if Google does it, I don't really know. I dislike it, it concerns me. The device would have a transcription of audio conversations I have through apps like WhatsApp. Or it could do something useful like transcribe podcasts and hand the transcription over to the owners, so that they can publish it along with their podcasts, without Google needing to dedicate their servers to it.

But if companies like Xiaomi get this feature for free on Android 15 or 16, I know what they will use this tech for. I know what Facebook would use this tech for, and I wouldn't be surprised if they finally start to sell a cheap but powerful Android device.

With offline transcription the "your device is recording me" will get so much harder to detect, as no audio will get streamed. It will become so easy to listen for keywords like "lawnmower" and count their occurrences or their proximity to phrases like "need to buy", or "is pregnant" and stuff like that.

I don't want my devices to do this.
I long for the time where we used crisp, non-scalable, beautiful bitmap fonts. So called "anti-aliased" fonts look always irremediably blurry.

The point of the comparison made in the headline here is exactly that one does not need to expect the worse from everyone and therefore stop caring and complaining.

> Where does that leave people like doctors who earnestly help their patients?

Not a doctor, but a college professor. I love my job, take pride in it, and work hard at it. But I think of myself as working for my students, my collaborators, and my immediate colleagues. I pay little attention to my university as a whole, don't view it especially positively, haven't learned how to work its bureaucracy, and feel little loyalty to the institution in general.

It seems that, according to the article, I'm a "loser". As such, "it is clear that I am an idiot". Probably true lol. But a fairly happy idiot.
I can't think of a valid reason why one would object to having a camera over the box, unless they intend to tamper with it. I mean, I can understand objections to installing cameras where there might be privacy or ballot secrecy issues. But the box doesn't have privacy and it won't reveal anyone's ballot's content - so why the objection?
China has been pretty open about their willingness to use military to conquer. Russia has militarily taken territory much more recently than the US has.

During the cold war the US and Russia made a mess of many many countries. It doesn't seem likely to be cleaned up any time soon. That's what a multi-polar world is like.
It is, but I really wish there was an option other than that yellow. Maybe if you click it again you can get an actual dark theme? Pretty please?
