Original firmware is full of security issues. Things like effectively running `system("something %s", some string input from AT command)` under root, etc.

Originally I wanted to get access to the FW via one of these issues, but then I found the adb unlock, and it's way easier.

All it took me to crack their ADB protection was to extract and disassemble their atfwd_daemon from firmware update package, and look for interestingly named commands and reverse their algorithm for generating the unlock key.

You can see for yourself how "complicated" it is:

And that was it.

They also allow to run code under root downloaded from the net via special push SMS, etc. Thankfully not enabled by default. But bleh.
You could say the same thing about police officers. People think that because a small percent are bad we’d be better off letting society police itself into utopia.
#DefundTheDoctors?
The key here is to be super intentional about which customer groups you want to reach out to regardless of how easy is it to get them. For example, when public.com was in their beta phase, they avoided the low hanging fruit of going to those wall street bets and those reddit groups and instead took a very deliberate approach of looking for more diverse and underserved communities and go after them (e.g. professional women's slack groups)

I wrote more about their story here in my substack (https://consumerstartups.substack.com/p/-39-how-to-make-stoc...). I also share a bunch of stories about how other successful early stage startups acquired their first batch of users and validated their ideas.
I am not sure it is because of rms. It does start to feel like an orchestrated campaign.....
Or a 30-week wait for a Model Y as recently experienced by a relative. Every month I'd ask if he'd heard about his Model Y, and the answer was mostly the same: nothing yet. As much as I have cheered Tesla, there is a tendency to over-promise. Yes, sitting in a dealership and haggling can be a pain, but if you need the car soon then Tesla may not be the right choice for you. This too shall pass...probably...

Possibly not. I believe that runs natively on (any!) x86 system, but it uses QEMU to run on ARM, which might make things a big too big here.
And depressed people should stop being so unhappy?
Yep, and this is why central control, along with temperature sensors make a giant lot of sense to prevent such situation.

A simple thermostat is not enough, and even a PID one will not do the job if external thermal influx is not in the model.

I once worked on a HVAC controller for hotels in Singapore, and other commercial venues which helped the hotel operator to save on HVAC by packing visitors more closely depending on occupancy.

This avoid paradoxical situations of it being chilling cold in some suites with zero aircon use when it is +30 outside because of an unlucky combination of HVAC settings in neighbouring suites.
These anecdotes mesh with what I remember. A friend in high school around 1999 had a Pentium 133; it could play MP3s without stuttering but it couldn’t do anything else while it did that.
It says the device is hardwired and the data is forwarded via adb, so I doubt they are on an LTE connection.
Those are "plugin" sales, which includes hybrids along with EVs.

Nice tool -

I wrote something that did this too but went about it differently-- instead of injection I spawned the target processes as a child process so I could modify the setting for the children. To do this, I added my binary as a debugger via KLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\target.exe

I know you only said "partially by efficiency", but the other part is pretty important. another goal of sealing the building is to align the moisture and thermal barriers with each other. this is important, because this is how you control humidity inside the envelope. in theory, this makes it much less likely that you get mold, rot, etc. if you're going to heat/cool your house at all, you really don't want heated inside air getting cooled down in the winter or warm outside air getting cooled in the summer. if you have significant passive ventilation, you don't really have a moisture or thermal barrier.
> When experts are wrong people turn to people with no expertise who say things they like.

That's right, and I think as you've hinted at they hold these people to a much lower standard than they hold the experts.

If Dr. Oz was wrong about one thing 6 months ago, that doesn't shake their belief in him the same way it did Dr. Fauci.

I've been using tmux buffers for quite some time now but what always throws a wrench in my plans is when using tmux in SSH sessions there are always gotchas when getting access to my host's clipboard buffer depending on the platform (windows/mac/nix). The whole reason I dev remotely through SSH is so it doesn't matter what platform I'm coming from.

For example, from Windows these days I'm having to vim yank to file ~/clipboard and then I have a Windows keyboard shortcut to pscp that file locally && notepad file. Hacky, yes, but the muscle memory is there now so meh.

But that's just the flavor of the month this month...

shouldnt there have been a comma after “well”?
Value here is defined as the NECESSARY tasks required to maintain the civilization whether they be menial or intellectual. Needs not wants. Tasks that provide food, shelter and the basic life sustaining requirements so that other ventures can be pursued. No civilization can exist without these. People that don't or cannot work are not as valuable. This is harsh but is in tune with reality. People that choose to invest in their own interest form a split. Some when investing in their own interests create value for their civilization. Others do not and in fact drain value from civilization. They do this because they can. Any civilization will have a given amount of drainers and can indeed sustain a certain amount of drainers unless they drain enough resources to collapse the civilization.
The other consideration is that while what I have said uses logic, many humans rely of emotional reasoning over logic. In order to make these people provide value a certain amount of emotional manipulation is also necessary,
Problem is once someone built a cheap building 30 years ago, it's not worth $200K to tear it down and rebuild for thermal efficiency.

And new build buyers want homes that look "normal" or "classic", not experimental (even if experimental is based on proved designs elsewhere.)
I mean, I'm not doing extensive research, but seeing waiting lists and online ordering, I'm making assumptions about Tesla selling everything they can produce. (Maybe that's their trick? :))

With other automakers - I'm not referring to deals; just that everyone walks in and "negotiates" their price. The manufacturer may or may not get MSRP depending on their agreements with the dealer, but the dealer is incentivized to sell cars, not at rock bottom prices, but rather whatever price they can get buyers to pay. The alternative is that the car sits on the lot which has overhead, and can lead to depreciation of the car given enough time.
The article makes a big unfounded assertion in one of the first few sentences "We learn them at a very early age, without being explicitly instructed by anyone and just by observing the world." - we do not learn these inferences "just by observing the world", we learn these inferences by acting on the world and observing the results, and arguably they are simply not learnable by pure observation alone. There's some theoretical grounding for that (IIRC Judea Pearl's book Causality might be a good source for that) and some experimental grounding for that (e.g. the two kitten experiment for which I can't quickly find the actual paper but it's described at https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-seriously-creepy-two-kitten-expe... ), also other fields like medicine have a good understanding of limitations of what knowledge can be gained from purely observational studies versus experimental interventions. So it seems a bit misleading to write a whole article about "why machine learning struggles with causality" without even addressing the key difference of learning from observations vs learning from interaction, which IMHO is a much more fundamental obstacle than everything the article menstions.
MAP, NDCG, etc are evaluation stats. Like unit tests for algorithm correctness. TF*IDF and Page rank are solutions that may or may not increase NDCG or MAP for your given problem/users
From the paper (http://tom7.org/lowercase/lowercase.pdf):

except that just the lowercase r has a width of MAX INT...

Okay, I cannot imagine what the use of that font would be, but I really want to know.
Meh, probably comes from corpos who are irritated they can’t use the software the way they’d like (in violation of the GPL that is).
Out of all things, one should take time to trust and verify about one's health and body. And at least some knowledge about car mechanics and home repair/contracting. The latter two are just a reality of life if you don't want to get scammed and/or have a really bad job done by contractors.

It's not really fair, but also we don't -make- time to understand our bodies. It's a total choice. Preventative care is so important, yet hardly anyone takes the time to do it, only going in once issues develop.

It's not about totally rejecting anything an expert says. It's more about trust, but verify, and take the lead yourself to be on top of things.

In my personal experience, I am the one who has had to try to figure out my diagnosis so far because my GP, Dermatologist, and Immunologist haven't been very helpful. Most of my sessions over the last year were about 10-15 minutes, I answer some questions, and here are some pills, come back in a month. There hasn't been much testing after the initial battery of tests in the first ~2 months. I'm the one who has had to take the lead and be aggressive about trying to figure out a diagnosis, and now, about getting a referral to a tertiary/quaternary center with better immunologist experts to hopefully figure out the cause of this damn thing.

It's not that I don't trust doctors- it's the opposite! But this whole situation has made me wary about blindly trusting anything or sticking to their timelines. My Immunologist emphatically stated that "it can't be gluten"- well guess what? So far, not eating gluten is appearing to help. It's only been ~1.5 weeks so we'll need to see. Of course I recognize that diagnosing skin issues/dermatitis is totally different than other types of issues.

Highly contentious.

My opinion: read Williams' "Style: Towards Clarity and Grace" and then Gopen's "The Sense of Structure" instead.
I write open source software. If it was difficult for people to use, I would not get pissed off that people pointed this out.

Like, if I were a woodworker, and made free chairs... you would be right in complaining if it was full of splinters, if it required you to buy hardware and drills, if it was uneven and clunky. It's a shit chair. There's no dishonor in acknowledging what it is. I would not expect a pat on the back just because I made it free.

There are unfortunately too many recent examples of media organizations that do just this, publishing articles with a single source that turn out to be biased or unreliable.
size_t is only guaranteed to be large enough to store the size of the largest object. This is not the same as being able to index all of memory.

Many fonts are designed for a single logo use - imagine a logo that is lowercase r with the rest of the name under the r.

That may not have been for LEED, many areas in the US have anti-scalding regulations for buildings or landlords/operators - typically not to exceed 120F at the tap. May have been set low depending on how many taps, distance between the different taps etc.
FYI: I found the "What am I good" at section a bit difficult to read, due to the formatting. Some width-limiting CSS would fix that:

.iconbox_content_container p {
max-width: 450px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
So true! No answer, can't be done, or redirected to a sales rep to purchase additional licenses for software that may or may not completely interoperate with the stuff you're already paying them for.

Want to write your own program that extends or interfaces with an open-source software package? It can probably be done with some amount of work, depending on documentation, forums, and readability of the (available!) source code.

Want to do the same with a proprietary software package? Buy the SDK for $X000, there aren't any forums, and the documentation that is basically eyes-only. Maybe a screen-scaper could work, but that would be unreliable and tie up a licensed terminal (not to mention probably violates the EULA!).

I don't know much about Algeria, but most cars and motorcycles sold in India are built here from the ground up with most of the parts sourced locally. There are a few luxury brands like Lexus, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, etc which are sold as CBU (Completely Built-Up ie imported as-is) or CKD (Completely Knocked-Down ie all parts imported and only assembly in India). The customs tariffs on such units make them unattractive for the low to mid-segment vehicles, which make up the vast majority of those sold in India.

This. Reverence for celebrity also engenders a weird trust in celebrity viewpoints even when they are wildly misguided and completely divorced from a particular celebrity's training/knowledge/experience.

Not to say a tennis player and former MTV host started the anti-vax movement, but celebrities can fan the flames of ignorance pretty easily because of how much people pay attention to and trust them.
Well, I don't think it's reflective of the vast majority of FOSS, at least measured by # of installs. Every time someone does a system-wide update with their package manager, an experience which is probably often best described as mundane, it's a testament to just how successful FOSS has been. Certainly there is software in relatively deep niches that is quite arcane, but I also don't think that's exclusive to FOSS.
Thanks for this info; I appreciate it.

I've clearly only just scratched the surface of Ruckus stuff.

That message is from me. Nice to see someone using the access for something cool.

One of the reasons I decided to add it there was to give some visibility to this "feature" of EG-25G FW to people interested enough to look at dmesg.

> It's funny to me to see the same people who complain about sigils in perl whole heartedly adopt the Rx convention of naming streams with a tailing $. It's literally just a sigil.

This one is a naming convention. Same as how the previous generation of javascript developers used to prepend variable names with a dollar sign if those variables referred to jquery-wrapped objects. Same as starting class names with a capital letter, or using all capitals to name constants. It doesn't have any special meaning for the parser. Your program won't break if you don't follow these naming conventions. It's entirely a style thing.

As someone who also lives in Toronto: most things being built now are giant class towers.

Now, glass sucks at insulation (even triple glaze), but—depending on the coatings—it lets in a lot of sun light and with that potentially heat.

While in a perfect world there would be no / minimal exchange between the inside of the structure and the outside,† being too warm may be better than being too cold, as I'm guessing that it's easier to throw away the 'free' heat of the sun away than introducing it in winter. Certainly heat pumps can go either way, but I figure that it's easier to dump it.

† The entire point of "buildings" are to be environmental separators after all.
> For individuals, a lot of it comes down to how you value your time.

That's why I use open source, I don't have the time to deal with crappy closed source programs
Doesn't all this imply there should be more focus on inter-floor and inter-room insulation, to effectively isolate floors/apartments/suites thermally from each other?
My weekends are not work time. I do sometimes end up at events/associated travel that spans weekends in which case I take unofficial comp time. But if you, as employer, deliberately schedules a team get-together over a weekend because "it will be fun," you are an asshole.
> The stated reason for removing Stallman is the belief that he is "toxic".

A very similar pursuit of ideological purity (in name only; it was a power game) was a characteristic of daily life in the Soviet Union.

Even until the very end, things like the fact that your grandfather used to own more than 10 cows before the revolution (a wealthy oppressor!) or that your family celebrates Christmas (unloyal to the party!) were used to morally judge you and deny things like an apartment allocation (there was no real estate market) or a permit to buy a car. The government had massive databases of personal histories of people (several generations deep, going back many decades) to assess their "morals", supplemented with characterizations people had to write about each other. Almost every hiring, foreign trip, university application etc was checked against these databases. Every organization of had a committee for this. All companies too (because they were all state-owned).

Instead of "toxic", they used the phrase "ideologically unsound", and once you had been deemed as such, many doors in life remained closed for you.

Kinda strange to see the free world slowly re-inventing this.
I understand your concern. Open source licenses are the ones that Open Source Initiative approved and just a note, you can’t have an open source license and prevent someone else to create a product from your work. Anyway, hope you find a license that fits your requirements. Good luck with your project.
I think you made a great observation.

If you did want to control the future of information flowing from person to person, I can think of no higher threat than free software.

Givin that premise, I would expect to see a lot more opposition to free software if large governent and large business intrest decide to consolidate their power and think that open communication is a hindrance.
