What if you want to see the best players play against each other rather than be spread out among all the weak teams in order to optimally farm their budgets? The American style ensures that there will never ever be strong teams.
Agreed. Timing the housing market is like trying to time the stock market.

If you can afford a home, want to buy one, and it’s in a location you want to be in, it makes sense to buy.
Does a psychotherapist do "real work"? Psychotherapists talk a lot to people about sex. Is that really just telephone sex?

Is the work more or less real if that therapist is allowed to touch you?

What about the two ladies that looked after my Dad, while he was dying? They got him up, washed him, dressed him, and put him to bed. I know they used to smear ointments on his body. Is there really such a clear distinction between care work and sex work?

I'm seeing some pretty shocking prudishness in this thread. Different people live their lives in different ways, and scolding people who are not like you isn't going to change that.

People that think sex is necessarily "dirty" and worthy of disapproval are people with problems. They're entitled to their point of view, but trying to enforce that view through repressive legislation is just mean and intolerant.
Nah, Cellebrite will panic for a bit at the possibility of facing repercussions but ultimately not commit enough effort to change anything. Cellebrite's counterparties, however, might not be so complacent.
Yes, there are built-in limits to playing for time in both American football (play clock) and basketball (shot clock). Anything within those limits is fair game.
> There's a please clear justification for holding that data and making it accessible via a warrant.

That's not a justification, that's an argument.

A justification would involved evidence-based analysis of why the potential benefits (that you point out) outweigh the potential risks (abuse of process, targeting, etc.).

Given the current state of affairs (as you point out) it's not clear at all that the benefits win.
Am I the only one who thought the name "The Super League", was very American and non-European. At least that was my first reaction.

It definitely would suck to be someone at UMN doing legitimate work, but I don't think it's reasonable to ask maintainers to also do a background check on who the contributor is and who they're advised by.

The main difference is that the Sokal Hoax worked (that is why it is notable).
> They don't have in their framework protecting the linux kernel from harm any more than they have protecting a jet engine from harm (Sorry if that sounds callous).

It sounds pretty callous if that jet engine gets mounted on a plane that carries humans. In this hypothetical the IRB absolutely should have a hand in stopping research that has a methodology that includes sabotaging a jet engine that could be installed on a passenger airplane.

Waiving it off as an inanimate object doesn't feel like it captures the complete problem, given that there are many safety critical systems that can depend on the inanimate object.
> The vast majority of patches are not malicious.

The vast majority of drunk drivers never kill anyone.

> Sending a malicious patch (one that is known to introduce a vulnerability) is a malicious action.

I disagree that it's malicious in this context, but that's irrelevant really. If the patch gets through, then that proves one of the most critical pieces of software could relatively easily be infiltrated by a malicious actor, which means the review process is broken. That's what we're trying to figure out here, and there's no better way to do it than replicate the same conditions under which such patches would ordinarily be reviewed.

> Especially given that the intent was useless in the first place - everyone knows that patches can introduce vulnerabilities, either maliciously or by accident.

Yes, everyone knows that patches can introduce vulnerabilities if they are not found. We want to know whether they are found! If they are not found, we need to figure out how they slipped by and how to prevent that from happening in the future.
I wonder whether the approach utilized in WSLg could be used as (alternatively to waypipe) a way to provide network transparency in Wayland on Linux. A use could be seamlessly running native Wayland apps on Xorg.

> I agree with your comment completely, but isn't this a bit a bit of an exaggeration?

No. Many global south countries like Brazil use WhatsApp instead of sms, and not being able to control what information you push out is therefore dangerous. As someone else wrote in this sub, you don’t need to first ‘friend’ or link with someone on WhatsApp before they can see all your info (like how often and how long someone is online). Stalking and stalkers are more prevalent than you think. Nevermind that the situation is also different depending on your gender (women are stalked and victims of violence more than men).

Also I think a few people here seem really concerned with whether its an SMS or an IM service, but I think that doesn’t matter when you ask instead what’s affordable and accessible to the average person in the global south. I think you’ll find that sms and calls are usually luxuries reserved for the tiny minority in power).
I think we are talking pass other.

What I'm saying is not so complicated (maybe I complicated it): any human organization will have the same kind of problems. You seem fixated in public vs. private, I don't think that distinction is so important as you do. Can organizations be fixed? Some organizations can be fixed, normally it's hard work.

I will not go beyond that because it would be a pointless discussion here, maybe with a few hours and a few beers we would arrive to some agreement. Obviously I don't have a so good opinion about private markets as the solver of all problems like it seems you do.
Linux are have plenty testing machines, but it are not so simple that you seem to think for to test whole kernel. there is not any catching for all these possible cases, so not nice remain importance. and greater part is driver, driver need device for to work, so CI on this is hard.

The kernel maintainers don't need to show or prove anything, or owe anyone an explanation. The University's staff/students are banned, and their work will be undone within a few days.

The reputational damage will be lasting, both for the researchers, and for UMN.
> The implementation is similar to the one in simdjson except that it aligns reads to the block size of the SIMD extension, which leads to better peak performance compared to the implementation in simdjson.

I didn't really understand this part. Aligned to what? to the cache line? SIMD always reads the block size. Unless I am missing something here.

Put another way, if institutions pile into bitcoin, the value of produced energy will rise, and green energy infrastructure projects which were previously marginal would become profitable and thus executed.
> Why's that? If Kibana had been AGPL and Grafana had been AGPL from day 1, how would the growth and survival of Grafana have been any different?

Then Grafana would be forced to open all the source code for Grafana Cloud Dashboards [1] according to AGPL derived from Kibana. I don't think they would follow this path.

The same applies to Prometheus [2] source code, which is used by Grafana Cloud Metrics [3] (aka Cortex) developed by Grafana labs. If Prometheus had been licensed under AGPL, then Grafana labs would be forced to open all the derived source code for Grafana Cloud Metrics.

These examples prove that Apache 2 license is much better for users and for commercial companies compared to AGPL. That's why we at VictoriaMetrics stick with Apache 2 license and have no plans to change it.

Indian people are very selfish in general unfortunately. Living in a resource-starved environment would do that to you.
We can go a long way in removing carbon from the atmosphere by regenerating our degraded soils by bringing them back to life. Some estimates of atmospheric carbon sources list released soil carbon around 40%. Fertile soil is filled with carbon in the form of life and decomposing material (food for life). While this video doesn't address carbon directly it does show how much soil around the world is degraded to the point where all life and carbon in the soil is gone.

Most - maybe. But one very important negative effect is that waking up without enough sleep is, quite literally, torturous.
Cell-free methylome quantification with synthetic spike-in controls
I don't have a strong feeling on the banning of the account. I know companies typically can't comment for legal reasons, but there may be good reasons for this, sometimes there may not be.

The problem is that people invest in these accounts. They buy the right to some content and that is taken away from them. In some cases they also invest socially in the account, like an email address.

I don't think companies can have it both ways. They can either not ban accounts like this, or they can ban accounts and refund any purchased licences, and provide the ability to transfer data out and set up redirections as necessary (an auto-responder for email perhaps?).
I could be wrong, I am by no means well versed in this, but I think they are limited by appraisals and inspections. If the house gets appraised significantly less than the offer, I believe that the buyer can leave their offer, effectively wasting two weeks of the seller's time. The goal then is to get a cash offer that goes through an expedited process where an appraisal is not needed. In addition, for all of the sellers that believe we are in some degree of a bubble, they want to hurry to sell before it pops/deflates.
To be clear: asking Linux maintainers to verify the results of static analysis tools they wrote themselves, without admitting to it until they're accused of being malicious?
Nice, I did something like this and made it a gist ages ago for XLS, it's good you're putting up something that's more maintained and working with multiple formats.
> longer term this tactic may not succeed as Russia keeps chewing away

As for last decade, Russia keeps chewing away itself since the real income declines each and every year while capital runs away.
I think I remember reading about this and IIRC one of the players was given more starting money than the rest, but wasn't told about it. Then when they were asked why they think they won, they would say it was because of their strategy or their skill, and I think most even doubled down when they were told about the extra money. Something along those lines. My memory is likely inaccurate as well.

>Ethereum is essentially a distributed virtual machine that anyone can pay to use.

...that is unbelievably slow, limited, difficult to use, and makes it impossible to fix bugs.

It's absolutely fascinating in principle, yes. But in practice it's a solution in search of a problem.

When you're trying to debug a JavaScript error do you use Chrome's built in JavaScript debugger, or do run Chrome in GDB? Or perhaps you get out your oscilloscope and try attaching it to your CPU? Debugging at multiple levels of abstraction is nothing new.

The fact that there are debugging tools at the React level does reduce complexity. It means you don't need to understand the details of how React is implemented. You can just think in terms of React concepts (which are quite straightforward and have excellent documentation).
Microsoft enables Linux GUI apps on Windows 10 for developers
Currently the smart contract software projects are focused on decentralized finance since the only input necessary for that is ETH currency. New tokens, decentralized exchanges and so on.

People created Chainlink to bring real world data inputs to Ethereum software. Data such as "package has arrived to its destination". It hasn't delivered on its promise yet unfortunately. If it ever does, all bets will be off.
No, the gpu compute support landed a few months ago already. This is about the Graphical program support.

Yes because the UMN guys have made their intent clear, and even went on to defend their actions. They should have apologised and asked for reverting their patches.
I'm screwed then. Due to a mental issue and my sleep paralysis I'm lucky if I sleep 3-4 hours a night as much as I would like to sleep more.

> One way to think about Cellebrite’s products is that if someone is physically holding your unlocked device in their hands, they could open whatever apps they would like and take screenshots of everything in them to save and go over later. Cellebrite essentially automates that process for someone holding your device in their hands.

Aren't Cellebrite products/services more advanced than that? I mean don't they use publicly unknown zerodays to extract data from locked phones?
After they successfully got buggy patches in, did they submit patches to fix the bugs? And were they careful to make sure their buggy patches didn't make it into stable releases? If not, then they risked causing real damage, and is at least toeing the line of being genuinely malicious.
I only discovered rugby a few years ago. I was completely floored. Players apologizing? Players being the first ones to admit making a mistake? Players making sure opposing hurt players are okay?

I'm most interested in the censorship or in more friendly terms, authenticity gains that blockchain can provide. In a world where works are being revised, "special edition"ed or straight removed from availability, I'm eager for blockchain technology to sidestep these dark patterns.

>As a house buyer you need only 10-20% down and can mortgage the rest.

Or less. Zero down mortgages are absolutely a thing right now. You can get $250k of margin on an appreciating asset for nothing more than your signature, credit score, income history, and a few thousand in closing costs. There's truly nothing that even comes close in terms of wealth building for an average person.
And one of the more infuriating aspects of imminent domain is that the government is under no obligation to use the land for the purpose that they specified when taking the land from you. In fact, they don't have to do anything with it once they have taken it and you have no recourse.
> Won't the algorithm live in chromium and be open source?

Of course, but Google decides what goes into Chrome. Chromium itself is a fringe phenomenon.

> I have a friend who has a bicycle gear local shop, and he advertises specifically to local people who are into biking. There is no way in hell that non-targeted advertising could work for him. The majority of small products are made for a very niche demographic, so you're saying all of those should stop advertising entirely, except maybe on search results which have a query.

He could advertise at a local news website, or a biking forum in the section for your town. Or sponsor a local initiative. Just like he probably did before ad tracking was pervasive. That way the money will also go straight to local people who can use it rather than dropping a large precentage in Google's (and other adtech) bucket.

It's not like this is actually a choice. Tracked advertising is going away one way or another. 47% of people are already using adblockers. https://www.digitalinformationworld.com/2019/04/global-ad-bl... (and that info is from 2019). Also, here in Europe it's got to be an opt-in mechanism now by law and there aren't many people who opt in.

If the industry doesn't quickly adapt there will be nobody left to view their ads :) And tracking is only one reason people block ads. A lot of people will be getting used to clean uncluttered websites right now and will find it hard to go back even when the original reason they installed the blocker has been removed.
In their "clarifications" [1], they say:

"In the past several years, we devote most of our time to improving the Linux kernel, and we have found and fixed more than one thousand kernel bugs"

But someone upthread posted that this group has a total of about 280 commits in the kernel tree. That doesn't seem like anywhere near enough to fix more than a thousand bugs.

Also, the clarification then says:

"the extensive bug finding and fixing experience also allowed us to observe issues with the patching process and motivated us to improve it"

And the way you do that is to tell the Linux kernel maintainers about the issues you observed and discuss with them ways to fix them. But of course that's not at all what this group did. So no, I don't agree that this research was done "properly". It shouldn't have been done at all the way it was done.

Or more charitably: "Yes, this spent some maintainers time, but only a small amount and it resulted in bugfixes, which is par for the course of contributing to linux"
Adam Schiff's "Russian disinformation campaign" assertion was denied by the director of national intelligence, and yet it persists.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/john-ratcliffe-rejec...

“This is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign. The intelligence community has not been involved with Hunter Biden’s laptop. Hunter Biden is a U.S. person, and he would be subject to any investigation regarding fraud, or corruption would be rightfully the jurisdiction of the FBI. So, the FBI has had possession of this, and what I can say without commenting on any investigation that they may have in corruption or fraud — is to say that their investigation does not center around Russian disinformation, and the intelligence community is playing no role with respect to that,” Ratcliffe said. “Adam Schiff saying that this is part of some Russian disinformation campaign and that the IC has assessed that or believes that is simply not true, so I appreciate the opportunity to be able to tell the American people that that is the case."

With all the newly inflated home values, I don't expect planning and zoning committees to be able to approve anything other than single family housing.
Overinstallation of renewable production is likely one of the lowest cost ways to hit carbon reduction goals. But costs routinely go negative already, even in the midwest, largely because of the renewable tax production credits where producers still make money even selling at a loss.

This problem will only get worse, so finding productive use cases for this capacity is great.

While I think bitcoin makes some sense, I personally think the new coin Chia could make even more sense. "Farming" (aka mining) chia is very energy lite - but it does require "plotting" which is more energy intensive. If plotters run during the inexpensive energy periods and low cost farming is the only thing that runs during the peak energy cost periods, then the network wouldn't see huge fluctuations in mining and leave more vulnerable during periods of low mining and high energy costs.
> researchers are often to blame as well, since they participate in interviews using vague language so that they can benefit from the exposure, well aware of the repercussions of their behavior.

I would also add that like everything in life, there's a large distribution of researchers. Some do poor research. This is true for all fields. One example is when a researcher has an hypothesis in mind which they try to force even if the results don't really support it. Doing great science is hard and researchers in the end have pressure to publish papers.
I really seriously doubt that anyone would ever advance the idea that Signal had deliberately framed them by creating false data on their phone. I don't see this as much more than pointing out that Cellebrite has vulnerabilities, just like the ones they exploit.
It’s not like the press really did all that much with Snowden. The few journalists that were involved haven’t exactly jumped in fame or popularity greatly. In fact, looking at Greenwald who was recently ousted out of the outlet he started, pretty much the opposite.

The press ran the story in my opinion half heartedly and imo forgave the transgressions because it was Obama in at the time. Most of the kick was directed right or wrong back to Bush.

It’s not like Brennan or Clapper or Rice or Yates ever faced even a degree of heat for directly lying to Congress about domestic spying.

I don’t at all disagree we live in a different world now, I just don’t have a perspective that this specific example was really that big at the time. Blurbs and tweets and Snowden Celebrity withstanding, the leaks had little to no actionable effect I can recall. I could be forgetting though.
I disagree. Making a good site with React takes more effort than not making bad site otherwise. Also because it’s fashionable React (and similar frameworks like Angular or Vue or Ember) are used in places where they don’t belong and it stinks.
