OK, so there are multiple things to break down here.

Firstly, no such lobby exists anymore, if it ever did. All the supposed oil majors have reinvented themselves as energy companies a long time ago and have big investments in solar, wind, etc. They are well aware that green initiatives aren't going to undermine the oil business any time soon; it will happen on a long enough timescale that they can easily build new businesses and make money from the new tech too. Even if every car factory in the world switched to making electric cars and only electric cars tomorrow, it would take decades for the vehicle fleet to turn over, so there's no real pressure on these people to mount diabolical schemes because the time horizon is far too long.

Secondly, the opposite of "climate change science is unreliable" is not "and therefore there is reliable science saying the opposite". If climatology as a field is unreliable then we are in a knowledge vacuum in which the claims might be true, or they might not be, or they might be some exaggeration of the reality or some over-simplification. All these things are possible if the science is not reliable.

Thirdly, climatology is uniquely difficult to deal with because academic climatologists are the ones producing the actual temperature record itself. There have been arguments in the past about the temperature record because global temperatures didn't follow predictions, at all (e.g. the "pause"), and the response of climatology was to issue new versions of the historical datasets that simply created the trend they had predicted. Sometimes the raw data isn't even available at all, only their adjusted datasets. Thus if climatology is an unreliable field there's actually no way to construct an alternative more reliable narrative, because you'd have to build on datasets controlled by the people you don't trust and which are repeatedly revised to bring data in line with predictions. (they have various justifications for doing so, but the incentive problems created by scientists "fixing" the historical record are obvious enough that they don't need elaboration).

Ideally collection and processing of climate related data would be done by totally different people to those making predictions about it. That doesn't happen: the community is just far too small. So, apparently untrustworthy practices can be pointed out like ... well, like claiming you can accurately predict the temperature a hundred years in advance whilst simultaneously claiming you were unable to accurately measure the actual temperature just ten years ago. But that doesn't then let you say "and so here is a more reliable set of predictions".

At any rate, if you'd like a citation for a reasonable, apparently rational and well argued alternative take, have a look at this talk:

I'm just comparing your Bode's Galaxy (f/3.3, 200mm, 120x21s) with my recent attempt (f/6.3, 600mm, 42x30s), and besides magnification, the result seems fairly similar - if anything, I think the dark sections of your image are less noisy. Your arrangement collected about 7.2 times as much light (ignoring magnification), so that's not surprising. I was using a Nikon D7500, so if the RPI HQ camera is comparing reasonably favourably with that, then yes that's not bad.
6 Different Ways I Make Money as a Software Developer – You Can Too
Really depends on the level of access the password gives you.

If you're infiltrating a company, most people's accounts certainly don't give you the level of access required to bypass the need for passwords entirely. You'd have to be specifically hacking a sysadmin's account or something.

There are very many different levels of "compromised" and they're not all the same.

That being said, I agree with the overall premise that password rotation is outdated.
Solving a problem once doesn't guarantee it's added to your knowledge. Learning needs repetition, if you solve that problem once a year, you'll learn it very slowly.

I agree with other comments about the questionable usefulness of left/right categorization.

But even within this framework, I don't understand how this can be said to be working correctly.

Right now, with biden as the search term, the top (default centrist) article is an opinion piece on Fox News:

https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-weak-poll-numbers-amer...

The top "extreme left" article is from a fairly orthodox (albeit partisan) blogger on MSNBC

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/biggest-flaw-mcconn...

The Fox News piece is not in any way centrist, let alone objective. The MSNBC piece is not, in any way, extreme left.

(To be clear, there is plenty of extreme left media out there. This is not a representative example. If you think - or if your algorithm thinks - that this is extreme left, you have no business being in this business.)

> to a partisan substack doesn’t count

Ouch, that hurts. But, there really isn't any difference between secondary-source news outlets and a substack. The substack just allows me to know exactly what I'm getting. In a world where there is no such thing as neural or fair, the most we can do is promote those that are transparent and thoughtful.

> You don’t pay for your news

I do pay good journalistic outlets. ThePrint in India charges me $10 a month, but they routinely produce good quality Indian news. They also openly declare a 'economically liberal, socially liberal' for their editorials and it is rare to find that kind of openness.

I would've paid for the Economist if I read it more often. I would've had an opinion on WSJ if I read it at all. Reuters has deteriorated a bit, but they provide first sources which is indispensable for the entire industry. But those 3 would be the closest mainstream new outlets that I'd consider paying for.

With how blatantly partisan NYT, WaPo, Guardian and the likes have become, it is hard to justify giving them a single cent of my hard earned money. Especially when they hide behind a veneer of fairness, prestige and even-handedness.

I mean n qubits that are interpreted as a little endian 2s complement integer.

Here's a coined walk circuit: https://algassert.com/quirk#circuit=%7B%22cols%22%3A%5B%5B%2...

Here's an uncoined walk circuit: https://algassert.com/quirk#circuit=%7B%22cols%22%3A%5B%5B%2...

Because an increment gate decomposes into a controlled increment with the least significant qubit as a control and the rest of the qubits as the target, these circuits are actually almost exactly identical in function. Basically take a coined walk, replace H with H*Z, arbitrarily consider the coin qubit to be part of the register, and that's equivalent to an uncoined walk. At least for this particularly simple system.

Patents aren't the main problem here; the lower refresh rate and resolution mean not many people want it.

Fewer people wanting it means lower economy of scale and higher prices, which means even fewer still.
There's no resolution in the sense that there's no firm evidence one way or the other. The null hypothesis/Occam's Razor of course suggests that these aren't Roman but that's not the same as proof that they're not.
I knew an old hack IT guy who had a spreadsheet full of users passwords which he obtained through demanding them when their computers needed fixing. Rotation dealt with that particular issue!

Then somewhere else I read an IT policy that said 'You will be assigned a password by IT, do not change it.'

I have seen numerous cases of IT support asking users passwords to make fixing a machine more permanent. I have seen more than one where they kept that record.

I have also seen lots of cases of, 'I have their passwords so I can log in to their email when they are away'. We know it is stupid, but these smart people didn't.

That is why I still rotate passwords, I know some will be compromised internally. I do it on a slow schedule though.
It's less about age and more about the stack you work with. I know several experienced engineers who have the entire Java library memorized, but have them work on a slightly different stack (or even a newer SDK version) and they will be blindly Googling for answers like anyone else.

Thermally, the helicopter cannot keep itself warm through winter due to decreasing solar power generation. Over the next few months, as the solar generation goes down leading into winter, the energy available for flight (rather than survival) will decrease and go negative at some point.
On a side note, use caution when doing a copy/paste from a website into a terminal. There are several things you can do to reduce the risk. Here [1] is a demo of one risk vector. The article links back to a discussion here on HN from 2013 on some things you can do to mitigate the risk.

The DKIM signature of the "bombshell email" (Vadym Pozharskyi thanking Hunter for giving him the opportunity to meet and spend time with Joe Biden) is publicly available and can be verified. Other people involved in the emails have also corroborated their legitimacy.

The laptop story seems like the most probable explanation of this leak, given the documents and FBI correspondence provided. Most attempts I've seen to debunk it seem dishonest or misleading, like "the PDFs' metadata showed they had been created in the fall of 2019, though the emails were supposedly from 2014 and 2015" as if anyone expected the PDF compilation of incriminating emails to be pre-made by Hunter.

While the email is real and the laptop story seems the most probable explanation, the email doesn't necessarily imply corruption on Joe Biden's part or even that he discussed anything business-related with Pozharskyi.
This requirement can come from lots of places. I remember at the last place I worked, we had to get audited for SOC2 compliance and password expiry was part of the requirement. I imagine these things lag behind the recommended security guidelines by quite a few years.

Do they really refer to themselves as Africans and not Kenyans or whatever tribe they belong to? "African" isn't a race, the people from that continent are way too diverse for that.

And since it is a place and not a race there are plenty of white Africans out there, same as there are plenty of black Europeans out there. Calling people who have never been to Africa "African American" just because they skin is dark is just plain racism. They are dark skinned Americans and has nothing to do with Africa.

> Bonus points for truncating the password differently in the login form and the password change form. Now you can't login anymore!

Yes, when I setup my first password manager one of my banks said "max length 32" so I updated to a 32-character password. Then, when I next went to login, I found the login form had an off-by-one error and Javascript would truncate the password down to 31 characters.

I was lucky and knew just enough to be able to use the console to patch the Javascript on the fly. I complained to them and they said they'd look into it; a month later I went down to a 30-character password, to stay far away from any further off-by-one issues.
Some apps and publishers have always been more equal than others.

Look in the source code for both Firefox and Chromium, and you'll find a section that glad-handles high-value extension binaries... The binaries where if they aren't configured correctly when the browser is installed, the user will assume the browser is broken, not the extension binary.

Similarly, Microsoft decompiled some of its own APIs when developing Windows XP to account for circumstances where third-party developers (mostly Adobe) had squeezed clock cycles out of their API calls by assuming certain memory footprints in clear violation of the API spec. But if Photoshop didn't work on Windows XP, it was XP that was broken, not Photoshop.

There has never, to my knowledge, been a point in the history of the computer industry where "all software is created equal."
I heard this on Radio 4 this morning, and I can't believe I'd never heard the story before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_(IT_system)

Horizon was introduced in 2000, and from then onwards unexplained discrepancies and losses began to be reported by sub-postmasters. The Post Office maintained that Horizon was "robust" and that none of the shortfalls or discrepancies in sub-postmasters' branch accounts were due to problems caused by Horizon. Sub-postmasters unwilling or unable to make good the shortfalls were sometimes prosecuted (by the Post Office's in-house prosecution team) for theft, false accounting and/or fraud. This was done on IT evidence alone, without proof of criminal intent.
There have been many cases of rioters claiming press credentials in attempts to bypass responsibility for criminal activity. "I'm not with mob of rioters attempting to burn down that courthouse, I'm a journalist. See, look on my helmet - P R E S S."

Proper password change procedures generally require the old password to update it, so the code running on that page theoretically has access to both and can run a similarity check.

But my opinion is that ensuring creative passwords with an unclear similarity rule will only result in creative bypasses of that rule.
For those of us not close to this topic, how do you assess the veracity of OP’s statements?
It's not only that. Do we "need" to consume sodas and bottled water? Americans throw away 35 billion plastic bottles every year.

That's just the US. Literally every country I've visited, including third world countries, are consuming ungodly amounts of one-time use plastics. The reason? Plastics make the job of global megacorporations, whose only goal is to make more money, much easier, since they can package their junk food and drinks and ship them the world over.

It's not a "gotcha." I just very strongly disagree, given what I've seen everywhere I've traveled.
Does the FDIC cover any other country's banks than the US?

In theory, but in practice some accounts are only rarely accessed by their intended user (might not log in for months at a time). And on the flip side, it's really easy to ignore the displayed last log-in time/IP/location altogether.
> vandalism i.e. changing the aesthetic of property you don't own without permission (whether the property is public or private).

I don’t think this is a proper definition, because most definitions include “damage” but yours includes an aesthetic improvement as well.
An even bigger problem: if you set up an Android phone without a Google account and need to access the Play Store (which is impossible to do without nowadays), Google will force you to sign into a Google account at the OS level and will suck in all your devices contacts -- with no opt out. You can disable this sync "feature" but *only after*, once Google has collected all your contacts (phone number, addresses, emails, birthdays, etc).

Explanation: the toggle to opt out is made available after you log into Google and you must navigate in multiple screens which gives Google ample time to collect hundreds of contact details. Of course, it is not possible to turn on airplane mode during this procedure since the log in requires an Internet connection.

This is 100% against the EU GDPR. I've submitted a complaint to my local privacy regular (French CNIL) but never heard back.

This probably impacts 200+ hundreds millions of EU citizens (since 2/3 of the population must be using an Android phone). I can't imagine a more massive data collection program, since each user must probably have more than 50 people on their device so the total amount of people that is affected exceeds my imagination.

How can Google get such a pass?

The cython code is a bit messy. Changing from:

cpdef float iterate_list(a_list):

cdef double count = 0
cdef int i, j
for i in range(len(a_list)):
internal_list = a_list[i]
for j in range(len(internal_list)):
count += internal_list[j]
print(count)
return count

To:

cpdef float iterate_list(list a_list):

cdef double count = 0
cdef double val = 0
cdef list ilist
for ilist in a_list:
for val in ilist:
count += val
print(count)
return count

Speeds up the iterate_list function an order of magnitude. On my PC:

Where list_cy is the fixed code and list_cyo is the original code. Even then, iterating over a list of lists is _definitely not_ the optimal way you'd face a problem of this kind. Numpy arrays and memoryviews would be the correct tool to use.

Incidentally, to update my comment there, I asked someone who had a font GAN and he mentioned he'd already found uppercase/lowercase latent directions which can automatically "more-uppercase" letters. It's not that this is a 'terrible problem' - it's borderline trivial. (I've seen highschoolers do much more impressive GAN things.) He just didn't do it even remotely right, is all.
I'm not aware of having expressed any "requirements" here.

I simply find "the NY Post is a less credible organization than the AP" to be a very sustainable opinion.
it really depends on the severity/depth/weirdness of the problem. I often run into things I don't know the names of or need documentation for how to do with a particular library/framework, those almost end up being solved on Stack Overflow - if I actually have a problem that I cannot 'solve', Stack Overflow is almost never actually helpful (some times it helps to try to write out a question that is clear enough for Stack Overflow to accept, because then you might think of what you actually have to research)
