NFT Hunt is a platform for NFT Enthusiasts to discover the latest NFT Art in the NFT Space.
Also for NFT Artists to Launch their NFT's Without going through the strain of tweeting and retweeting.
It was developed by Sulyman Moyo a 17 year old Art and tech lover.
I have been interested in tech since i was 9, around age 12 i got into Art especially those of Super heroes but a couple of my friends Art just to encourage them back then.
Right Now i'm still surrounded by Multiple Animators and Artists. I once took a course on Animation with blender but just couldn't get the hang of it.

Knowing how hard it is to come up with actually good art, I don't think also going through the hassle of marketing it and even following some Fake NFT collectors who just Use the NFT Community to gather more followers.

I strongly believe NFT Would be a solution to this problem for both NFT Artists and NFT enthusiasts .
This study does not care about the reviewers, it cares about the process. For example, you can certainly improve the process without replacing any reviewers. It is just blatantly false to claim the process is all about humans.

This was all about the reaction of humans. They sent in text with a deceptive description and tried to get a positive answer even though the text was not wholly what was described. It was a psych study in an uncontrolled environment with people who did not know they were participating in a study.

How they thought this was acceptable with their own institutions Participant's Bill of Rights https://research.umn.edu/units/hrpp/research-participants/pa... is a true mystery.
Firstly, as the author of the course, many thanks for the publicity.

Secondly, a teething problem which caused the video lectures to bring up an error screen has been fixed.

It's my first attempt at teaching (I hope that's not too obvious). I volunteered to be a guinea pig for Coursera's new "community guided project" courses, which has been very educational for me. I hope others manage to learn something from it too.
I agree. I personally don't care if it meets the official definition of human subject research. It was unethical, regardless of whether it met the definition or not. I think the ban is appropriate and wouldn't lose any sleep if the ban also enacted by other open-source projects and communities.

It's a real shame because the university probably has good, experienced people who could contribute to various OSS projects. But how can you trust any of them when the next guy might also be running an IRB exempt security study.
I hear you, I thought the same. Are you trading by any chance? Your handle suggests so. I see those whales as massive concentrations of wealth whose action is directly seen on the charts, e.g when they buy/sell the stock price rises/drops with them
Cybersecurity in the Wake of the Oldsmar Breach
The funny/sad part about the direct objections by competitors is that business clustering is usually a good thing for all the businesses involved, in part because people more distinctly remember the area ("that block with the ice cream shops", "that place out by the mall with those furniture stores", etc).
It's a huge breath of fresh air to go to other countries that are not this way and realize how much opportunity there is.

I seriously thought about setting up a business in Argentina when I was there, and friends have braved Zimbabwe and are doing well. Obviously there are plenty of other pitfalls, but the barrier to entry is essentially non-existent.

Coming back to Canada after spending years abroad I can't help feeling like everything here is "done" and there's no room for more.
Rent alone was almost $200k. You're saying that he could have gotten the space for half the rent he actually paid?

How did you determine this?
With pip or npm, I have a single config file to change to point to another registry.

With the vendoring, I have to mirror the dependency tree on my build infrastructure.
Fastmac-VNCgui – Run macOS Catalina GUI on GitHub Actions
How do you imagine Microsoft pulling off the "extinguish" step? Linux is the most popular OS for servers even on Microsoft Azure [0] so I don't see any threat in that regard. Then you have weirdos like me who have been running some variant of GNU/Linux as their primary desktop OS for years and will continue to do so. Sure, it's cool that Windows can run Linux software now but that doesn't make me want to switch. I like Linux. It handles all of my computing needs, I enjoy the control I have over my OS and a lot of the features of Windows simply do not appeal to me (Windows Shell, Windows Update, the whole "registry" architecture, built-in telemetry and advertising, and more). To people who don't enjoy running Linux as their daily driver or need to use Windows for some other reason there's WSL, and I think that's great.

How is this stealing? They can charge for the video if they don’t want people to see it for free. People have the right to not watch ads.
This is one reason why the "launch now" and "stay nimble" ethos is so powerful. Instead of wasting time and money like this, one could start a simple stall or a food truck and spend some time reducing operational risk and building a brand before going for the big time.
thats's a nice tip. Thanks
I worked on a piece of software that made use of Simulated Annealing and I'm still not entirely sure I understand how it worked.
Fusing into iron is different from fusing with iron.

Binding energy is a negative energy value; iron having a high binding energy means it is a low energy state, so adding zero-binding-energy hydrogen to that system and decreasing the binding energy increases the potential energy of the system from the low value of iron.
Fine, a week then.
It was a real world penetration test that showed some serious security holes in the code analysis/review process. Penetration tests are always only as valuable as your response to them. If they chose to do nothing about their code review/analysis process, with these vulnerabilities that made it in (intentional or not), then yes, the exercise probably wasn't valuable.

Personally, I think all contributors should be considered "bad actors" in open source software. NSA, some university mail address, etc. I consider myself a bad actor, whenever I write code with security in mind. This is why I use fuzzing and code analysis tools.

Banning them was probably the correct action, but not finding value requires intentionally ignoring the very real result of the exercise.
> When Tillman said he saw his project as necessary so people like his daughter could afford to come back and live in the city, one particularly motivated activist said she wished his daughter was killed in a terrorist attack

Jesus. I thought Reason was being melodramatic but the less partisan Curbed was even more explicit:

> According to Tillman, the commenter asked him where his daughter lived and, when he answered Boston, she reportedly said that she wished his daughter had been blown up (presumably in the Boston Marathon bombing).
I will star the thread!

Hi my name is Shayan, I'm currently working on an early-stage neuroscience-based music startup called Evoked Response (evokedresponse.com). Our lead founder is Adam Hewett, who is a serial entrepreneur in the neuroscience music space and we already have some paying clients and a very unique offering in the market. We're looking for a business development partner (who's anywhere in North America) to help us validate our solution in the market and refine our offering as we get feedback. You can contact me at shayan@evokedresponse.com.

Cheers!
Managing Complex React State with the Class Pattern
That's exactly what is going to happen. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I'm afraid we'll soon also see software advertised as running "better" under WSL than Linux.
To do a proper analysis, you need to look at more than just the number of existing businesses.

How many total groups attempted to open a business? How long does it take to open a business? What are the costs? Have these factors changed across time? And so on.

But sure, using that as a rough heuristic, I agree it doesn’t seem likely to be the worst place to open an ice cream shop.
Looks like some kind of group policy now prevents me from running WSL on my work machine. In the past Hyper-V bluescreened the peculiar Win 10 build my company uses, making WSL2 (and Docker Desktop, for that matter) a no-go. WSL1 still worked, but I eventually requisitioned VMware Workstation to run Linux and docker for projects that required them. For anything else I've got tried-and-true MSYS2 installed, which works well enough.
This will reduce the power of Tile's finding network which will make it less effective for Android users. Why would they? To not be evil. They need to be stopped.
Snowpack is an option if you want a fancier auto-reload dev server oriented around ES Modules. It can use either esbuild or webpack under the covers, IIRC, for its bundling step when it comes time for that.
Providing food is far from something only developped countries can do. Very poor countries can and have done so. All you have to provide is food, shelter, and maybe a very small baseline of income.

It’s about a million times easier today. Open a browser, open dev tools, open console tab, console.log(“hello world”).

It’s even easier than that though.

Can you get SIMs issued to companies and use them for company phones and have your alter egos be on the record as consultants and use those phones?
There isn't a really useful metric for failure, though. Not every prefix of every AS needs to be reachable from every other. Unlike consensus problems where everyone wants to agree on the same state it's sufficient for the Internet to be in a working state where each AS has enough routes that they care about, and BGP is pretty good at achieving that.
The first step of an apology is admitting the misdeed. Here they are explicitly not acknowledging that what they did was wrong, they are still asserting that this was a misunderstanding.
Seems like he had some unrealistic expectations, though. He spent 200k on an ice cream shop without any construction? When you get a lease, you try to get the landlord to offer you free rent until you open or at least 3-6 months.

I owned and operated an ice cream shop before, I just think 200k is unbelievable. But it should not take 18 months to open a shop either. I fault SF for that.
Or due to a complete lack of standards, if you have been fitted for a particular mask pre-pandemic, you’re basically screwed on buying that exact model and nobody has a list of “99% of people fitted for this mask also fit this other mask”
If you've been bitten by a tiger, it seems right to be wary when it invites you for dinner.
Should I quit working and go back to school?
That is exactly what I have been crying for all along close to 10 years. And I am willing to pay. But Apple doesn't like this because it offers no recurring revenue. ( They could still offer Off Site backup as services which i will also pay. )
This is really not the case. You buy food from farmers, who can keep money, and you use existing government capacity to distribute it. It's been done before and can be done still.
> I have trouble understanding the thought process that ends up basically ignoring the maintainers' duty to make sure that the code being committed doesn't endanger security or lives because they assumed that everything was 'cool'. The security posture in this critical infrastructure is deficient and no one wants to actually address it.

They're banning a group known to be bad actors. And proactively tearing out the history of commits related to those known actors, before reviewing each commit.

That seems like the kernel team are taking a proactive stance on the security side of this. The LKML thread also talks about more stringent requirements that they're going to bring in, which was already going to be brought up at the next kernel conference.

None of these things seem like ignoring any of the security issues.

I read mine also. The lender seemed way more surprised than I would have expected.

Then the title person later was like, "Almost all of this is standardized stuff. It's not really like you can negotiate it at this point."

Whatever, lady, I want to know what I'm signing, I want to see that this version matches the version I already signed last night (it didn't), and for half a million bucks, you can hang out for ten minutes while I do it.
> I am thinking specifically of eSIM providers like truphone who do all kinds of nice and interesting things, but the numbers are voip numbers.

That has nothing to do with eSIM though? That’s just the operator terminating VoLTE to VoIP numbers. eSIM is the equivalent of OTA flashing in good old CDMA2000, just in LTE.

That sounds absurd and so wasteful.
>Uhm, so what? Players move between clubs all the time in football.

I'm sure they do, but do players often move between teams in different tiers as well? That's the key difference here: it is not a lateral move.
> This event does rise awareness of what sophisticated attacker group might try to do to kernel community.

The limits of code review are quite well known, so it appears very questionable what scientific knowledge is actually gained here. (Indeed, especially because of the known limits, you could very likely show them without misleading people, because even people knowing to be suspicious are likely to miss problems, if you really wanted to run a formal study on some specific aspect. You could also study the history of in-the-wild bugs to learn about the review process)
The tech community, especially in sub-niches is far smaller than people think it is. It's easy to feel like it's a sea of tech to some when it's all behind a screen. But reputation is a powerful thing in both directions.

There is also a more nuclear option which I'm specifically not advocating for quite yet here but I will note none the less;

We're starting to see in discourse regarding companies co-opting open source projects for their own profit (cough Amazon) and how license agreements limit them more than regular contributors. That has come about, at the core of it, also because of a demonstrated trend of bad faith but also combined with a larger surface area contact with society. I could foresee a potential future trend where individuals who also act in bad faith are excluded from use of open source projects through their licenses. Imagine if the license for some core infrastructure tech like a networking library or the Linux kernel banned "Joe Blackhat" from using python for professional use. Now he still could, but in reputable companies, particularly larger ones with a legal department that person would be more of a liability than they are worth. There can be potentially huge professional consequences of a type that do not currently exist really in the industry.
Nah. The cost/benefit of saber rattling makes tons of sense while the cost/benefit of actually doing it makes much less sense. Probably.

No amount of certainty about Marlinspike's actions should comfort Cellebrite, though, because Moxie Marlinspike isn't the only person allowed on the app store.
You like many is missing Turkey in your picture. There is a lot of points to discuss. I'll just point that the Azerbaijan airspace in the war zone was patrolled by Turkish F-16s, so Armenia couldn't really fly anything there to attack the drones. Given Turkish interest in the Black Sea area happenings, their support for Georgia leading to 2008, direct support for Azerbaijan in 2020, kicking Russian butt in Syria and Libya in 2019/2020 (by using the same drones) and the Ukraine's course toward NATO and the Ukraine's open increasing military cooperation with Turkey who is the most willing and enthusiastic NATO member to kick Russian butt on Black Sea ... - basically i see an Azerbaijan style scenario coming to Donbass, only much more larger-scale and bloody given the amount of Russian forces there.
It's not an HR issue either, I wouldn't trust HR at all. They don't work for employees, they partner with employers.
I disagree.

They take over your software company, and put you in jail.

Sure they do not get your IP, but you loose it.

I will hazard a guess that the software development centres striving in Belarus are very careful to stay entirely out of politics. Belarus is not a democracy.
> They did just fine before location data.

I hear this sort of argument a lot, and often use it myself, but... did they? Sure, law enforcement existed and solved cases before they had access to location data, but are there some (more recent) cases that would have been unsolvable without it? Or has police efficacy not increased at all because of access to location data? Do we have data on this?

As much as I'm not positive on law enforcement in general, I think it's reasonable to have access to location data. But that access should be gated behind a limited-scope court order, and judges should not be rubber-stamping them.

On the other hand, it seems like any capability granted to law enforcement ends up getting abused, so I'm sympathetic to the idea of just banning all location data use.
They call that a legend in the intelligence community.

Wow amazing project! Love the image of the 5000 GT Ghia :-P
There are multiple contributors who have made the housing market as it is now. The general trend which characterizes the situation is that wages of average folk are rising at A% whereas the housing prices with B%. At the beginning of the 1970s, a teacher in the UK earned decent housing in 5 years, whereas today, it would take around 40 years under a mortgage.

In practice, we see that wages had stagnated over the last decades. From a political perspective, it is a change of economic philosophy from supporting consumer demand to supporting the supply of producers. On the other hand, there is a factor of migration. People coming from lower-income regions are putting pressure on local folks to negotiate wage increases, partly also supplemented with not fully accepting immigrants in labor unions.

The factors which make B% high are the increase of loans VS wages and guaranteed state protections for nonperforming loans to squeeze everything out of the debtor. Then there are urbanization and speculation on it. Common folk more likely getting better loan conditions in places where it is expected that the property price will grow. That, in turn, stimulates urbanization and vice versa.

Also, a factor is capital scarcity in the housing market. In the environment where central banks are buying stocks of nonperforming mega corporations to refloat them (optimistically saving pension funds), there is no better investment than owning such a stock. Hence the housing market is incentivized to serve those whose income grows with B% or known also as the wealthy 1%.

...or I can use VirtualBox and spin up multiple versions and flavors of Linux and use that. Then delete when I don't need them anymore. Not sure what this is trying to solve.
This is not an SF thing, it's a 'Almost Everywhere' thing, some places being worse than others.

The level of systematic dysfunction, fraud, bureaucracy etc. would be shocking to many of us, even though in other areas, cities and services are actually under supported.

It's a little more hypocritical with SF because the the amount of wealth and hints of virtue signalling that come out of there, but really it's a broader problem.

Wealth is created by our ability to organize efficiently. This stuff should be a 'primary' concern for citizens and voters but none of it makes nice headlines.

It's literally probably easier to go to Mars than it is to clean up city/state legislative and operational dysfunction. I wish there would be legit press outlets that open up specifically to focus on these things.
That is just appalling. I'm glad these jokers used their real names; it will be easier to avoid them in the future.
That could be a big issue with large particles.

But the air going through the mask is doubly filtered, that could make up for the increase in unfiltered air.
that story with the single sailor is horrific. Now, with the ever givens 27 sailors, they can at least hope that international pressure on egypt will eventually release them, if all else fails. At least that is what i think. If anyone knows better i will happily concede.

This is unlikely to be the case, despite the vulnerabilities that are described.

The process of e-discovery is rife with risks of this sort. When you forensically collect data from a random set of devices from a party that may or may not have porn, HIPAA, GDPR, sample viruses, malware, who know what all.

The short version of it even if the inhaling of this data crashes the device, there are mitigations and protections that will allow the evidence to be ultimately produced.

A crash of the windows host in collection will not invalidate the case.

It’s public health. If your policies get people sick, then you’ve failed at managing public health. You can blame whomever you like but ultimately you’ve failed.
> Yes, in some cases this means a guilty person will go free but we have a long standing belief in western legal culture that it is better for some of the guilty to go free than to punish the innocent for the actions of the guilty.

I think that's a fine ideal (that I agree with), but I don't think any reverence for it is shared by many in law enforcement or the legal profession in general. Conviction rates are king, and incentives are often not aligned with true justice.
> The Ship of Theseus is still the Ship of Theseus.

you state this as if it's a settled fact (it isn't).

If you take a Shakespeare novel and replace every word in it with another word, and then remove and add many chapters to it, then shuffle all the pages, is it still a Shakespeare work or even recognizable as being derived from one? I think most would say "no".

In the case of Ship of Theseus, if you replaced every part with a different looking part, removed 30% of the parts entirely and added another 300% parts such that the function was expanded by 1,000%, would anyone recognize it as the same thing?

There has to be _some_ threshold beyond which you cannot reasonably claim the work is derivative.
