These sort of datasets is not surprising to see. I watch "how it's made" videos on youtube and a lot of factory processes seem to have computer vision based sorting for rejecting rocks, debris, etc.
The problem for humans is that the need not to be lost has vanished with modern cities, public transport,and more recently, GPS. Most humans don't actively look for reference points when traveling.
I remember going to pick mushrooms with my in-laws in a forest a few miles from their house. My mother in law was navigating it like Mowgli: she knew every single nook and cranny,the specific trees and exits into forest separation lines. I was lost there in 2 min, couldn't tell one tree from another and had no idea where north/south is. The difference between me and her is that she's been doing it for years and 'scans' the forest as soon as she walks in.

>Cryptomining is a waste of energy and compute resources.

I have my objections to crypto currencies, but this is not one of them. Most everything we do as humans is a 'waste' if you want to get philosophical.

Blockchain is an interesting technology. It may or may not go anywhere, but there is value in thousands of people 'playing' with it to see what's possible. That is, there is value in exploring the solution space of the Blockchain because there is possibility in finding some local or global efficiency minima. Think of it as a R&D investment that may or may not pay off. Still too early to tell.

Besides, the energy cost of the Blockchains is not and will not be the determining factor in fight against climate change or any other environmental concern. So the last thing you want is government bureaucracies cracking down on it from that angle. Let people explore and play and see where it goes.

Having said that, if crypto mining does start to impact other infrastructure, regulators may have to look at it. And there's precedent for that kind of action. For example, regulators will typically work against silver speculation because silver is also an industrial product and if the price inflates to much, it will have deleterious effects on other industries and the wider economy.

>It's hard for me to comprehend, that others don't see the pyramid scheme behind it.

There is that aspect of it and most recognize it. When crypto intersects money and acts as an investment, it should be regulated because there are a lot of nefarious individuals who are using crypto currencies to swindle money from people. For example, my next door neighbor tried to enlist me to buy into some crypto scheme recently. It took me 5 mins of googling around to see how incredibly risky that 'sure-bet' is [1]. I'm pretty sure he sunk tens of thousands of his money into it and I'm pretty sure he doesn't quite understand what it is that these scammers are offering him (basically he's trading in crypto, that he had to buy, that is popular and therefore relatively liquid - i.e. something you can actually sell - for crypto that is not and has a good chance of collapsing in the near to mid future). Regulations will help in this area.

Most microwaves (in the USA) do this, at least in my experience.

They treat the ":" like a sum of two sexagesimal numbers, rather than a sexagesimal digit separator.
Even the better vaccines only have about a ~95% efficacy in preventing symptomatic covid. Notice that's not including asymptomatic covid.

The most important vaccine statistic is the ( I think still current) 0 deaths in the vaccinated groups.
Having the maintainer trigger the CI job moves the problem elsewhere. Attackers will create new repositories (or take over existing ones) and create the PRs, for which they will trigger the CI jobs.

The more apparent problem is that CI jobs can execute arbitrary code and are not limited wrt. their execution time. If limited, it would render them useless when used for cryptomining.
That is the perception here. Predictably, it's behind the hardening of public opinion on the issue of the dam.

I heard that most cats are actually found before they are lost, i.e. well-meaning people bringing them to an animal shelter while the cat would have been perfectly fine on their own. I can not say how they came to that conclusion (a guess: maybe by owners saying that it was perfectly normal for the cat to roam the same distances from home as when they were caught and brought to the shelter?)

It is fair to speculate about many reasons. For example if the logistics to bring the vaccine worked well or if the production conditions worked flawlessly. Almost everything that depends on Argentina government is corrupt and does not work as expected.

« On the surface, the illness seems to resemble a prion disease—neurological disorders caused by rogue proteins that accumulate in the brain and slowly destroy it. But medical examinations haven’t found any evidence of prions in these patients so far. Prion diseases are also universally fatal, usually within months to a year after the first symptoms appear, but symptoms of this condition have developed over 18 to 36 months in the patients found so far, while five people with the condition have died. »

I have had probably more than a hundred cats throughout my childhood more than 13(kittens) at one given point.
All my cats were outside/indoor cats free to go and come and I am convinced that the cats that would go out and not come back were either killed by dogs in the surrounding neighborhoods or simply didn't not want to come back. The cats that would not usually return were the older ones. If a younger cat did not return then I assumed it was dead.

We had given a few cats aways and they would sometimes come back home after a week or so. We lived on a mountain and my Aunt miles away in the valley and a cat we gave her came right back home. We gave away another few that did the same thing this time in even further locations.

Tech tends to be more friendly with vacation time in the US than most other industries. It still varies a lot, but it’s not uncommon for a tech company to start you with 3-5 weeks of vacation time plus 8-12 paid holidays throughout the year.

I think this is close but possibly insufficient.

What's to stop attackers from making a one-off harmless edit ("forgot a comma in readme") and then, once they're whitelisted, deploying a malicious executable to the CI pipeline.

I think the root issue is that people without write access to your repo can queue arbitrary compute on your dime by simply creating a PR and changing the GitHub workflow files (the definition for GitHub actions). This is even a bigger issue for companies with self-hosted runners who can't use those for public repos as an attacker could file a PR with malicious code and compromise a machine (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/...)

One possible solution here is that a maintainer needs to okay any change that changes a workflow file before it runs. Not sure if that introduces other problems...

As for the tradeoff between security and freedom with the guy in the third-world country, absolutely. This is key. To make this point you implicitly agree that the ultimate metric is freedom, however. Crime is just a proxy variables that may or may not relate via second-order effects like the choice to hide behind fences. Sure, if all things were equal a desire for the same level of security as a safer country may lead you to live a life with less freedom. But it also may not. It has been pointed out multiple times here that you don't need to live in a electric-fenced compound in the inner city, you can just move to a safe suburb across town. And all things are not equal. Japan can have lower crime yet be different in enough other variables that, at the end of the day, you still have less freedoms. Hence the parent poster's argument must be addressed with a direct definition of freedom.

I'd say the more general problem is a bad type system! In any language with a half decent type system where you can define `type country = Argentina | ... | Zambia` this would be correctly handled at compile-time, instead of having strange dynamic weak typing rules (?) which throw runtime errors in production (???).
You are reading the title as "Why animals don't ever get lost". That's one way to read the title. It can also be interpreted as "Why animals don't often get lost", or in other words, "What mechanisms do animals use to avoid getting lost." Which is an interesting question.

The new development is that the USA had been exporting freedom (at least on the surface) and projecting strength.

>> This is untrue. There is also repayment

This is incorrect. Repayment helps to clear the debt only from the perspective of the individual who has the debt but this is only possible because someone from the next generation took on even more debt to purchase the debtor's assets (took out a loan to buy the house, for example). So the aggregate debt never goes away, it's just transferred to the next generation and it keeps growing along with asset prices.

Asset holders see their capital increase continuously while non-asset holders keep getting squeezed until they are basically reduced to slavery.

Bankruptcy, however, clears the aggregate debt because the central banks end up taking the loss.
The one I’ve seen was a client who wanted to store credit card numbers in an Excel sheet (yes I know this is a bad idea, but it was 15 years ago and they were a scummy debt collection call center). Signed integers have a size limit, which a 16 digit credit card number significantly exceeds.

Now, you and I know this problem is solved by prepending ‘ to the number and it will be treated as a string, but your average Excel user has no understanding of types or why they might matter. Many engineers will also look past this when generating Excel reports.

Another comment from ahiknsr points out one repo affected:

Following the files used reveals the pool and wallet used. The pool lets you look up the stats for this wallet. For this wallet, it says:

> Total Paid: 163000 TRTL - 42.16$

But I guess the culprit is rotating wallets. Judging by the hash rate, the pool estimates a weekly income of 700$. It could be a multiple of this if the culprit uses multiple wallets at once.
What you’re witnessing is a self reported dataset from an international community (read as “unconcerned with The Protestant Work Ethic”) of ship captains and owners.

There are so many edge cases and oddities that the more you look the more you’ll find.

The moral of the story here is that you cannot accept AIS data, or any single data source, to be God’s Truth; you must always skeptical of the data before your eyes, lest you fall victim to “The Analyst’s Fallacy” (believing that the data presented is all the data there is) and create false stories in your mind.

Use a proxy running on your LAN.

The proxy connects to the site over modern HTTPS (i.e. TLS 1.2 or whatever) and you connect to the proxy over plain HTTP, or whatever old version of HTTPS your client supports (NT4 sp6 with IE6 supports TLS1.0 or SSL3, as the latest, dunno about win 98), if you make sure to trust its cert.

Your VPN provider has access to your public IP already. If they were highjacked by a malicious state actor, that would be all they required anyway.

Therefore, you already have to trust them, in which case you might as well just wire the money the old-fashioned way.
I think that’d definitely help. The Kubernetes project requires a maintainer to reply with /ok-to-test for the CI bot to begin testing a PR. This also helps reduces load on their CI systems, as the project gets a lot of commits.

Plus ça change... in some European countries, back in the mid-1900s, most factories would just shut down for a month in Summer (in Italy it was August). This was loosely coordinated, but it worked - everyone, up and down the chain, knew that in August nothing would get done, and in turn they would take the month off.

Then the 80s happened - with the rise of toyotism and "greed is good". Now they'll barely shut a week around mid-August, if they do at all.

The fact the president is positive, it’s not big deal, Sputnik seems to be a very good vaccine, but with 90-95 efficacy. The only big thing could be if he got a variant/mutation (Brazil, UK). It’s still unknown at the moment if Sputnik is effective against those mutations.
