The scale is smaller but i have seen these machines https://www.waterfromair.co.za/ which do condense ambient humidity, filter and purify it and leave it in drinkable form. They look like water coolers without the giant bottle and function like a kind of dehumidifier with some additional steps.

Probably makes sense in a smaller scale “let’s replace our water coolers because water is scarce but we have enough energy” scenario like South Africa.
The actions the code takes on error is up to you. What isn't up to you is whether or not you handle the error. Network calls give you a Result, and you have to deal with both the Ok and the Err branch or the code won't compile.
Ah shit I just spent the weekend building a d3 node editor for my project... smh..
Back when I started playing D&D again, some friends stumbled across a PDF of "MPMB's character sheet" or something.

Basically, it was a PDF full of scripting and options and such, that let you:

* Choose which content you wanted to use (i.e. content from which sources)
* Choose which rules you wanted to use (in case you wanted to use optional rules)
* Choose your class, race, and background, and handle them appropriately
* Level up your character, prompting you to choose spells, feats, abilities, etc. from every option available to you based on your current character options
* Manage your inventory
* Import and export your character data
* Import and export source data

It was pretty insane. Granted, it was also insanely slow (presumably due to limitations of what data you can store in a PDF and how), but for a bunch of tech-savvy newbies to 5th edition D&D, it was vastly better than the other options and helped us discover a lot of character features that we'd missed when overwhelmed at first.

I still wish they'd put it into literally anything more performant, like an electron app or something. Yes, it was that bad.
"Has flaws" is an understatement. FTP does not play well with the current way the web is set up. Any firewalling or NAT is a pain unless you have the firewall introspect the FTP commands, which is easy for plain FTP because it's plain text and unencrypted, but once you start encrypting the transport it gets more complex, and you need to add support for that in the firewall. There's also often two connection channels, one for control and one for data.

Just be aware that any FTP upload capability offered is likely a serious pain for the admins on the other side. Even if they finally get it configured well enough to mostly forget about, they'll have to dive back in every time they upgrade any infrastructure along the path to it. It's much easier to just pass a TCP port though, which is what scp/sftp (the SSH variant, not the misnamed ftp/s variants some clients used to advertise as it) is much easier, and if you use rsync, includes easy recovery.
"Oh please. Laws exist, platforms must ensure their customers follow the laws, and when a customer refuses to remove illegal content"

Don't make this about 'laws' - this was definitely not about 'laws' or the 'law' would have stepped in - and it's definitely not Amazon's job to enforce the law.

Amazon knowingly sells fake goods and suppresses unions so let's not give them the moral high ground.

Apple's concern I don't think was arbitrary: there was a lot of 'really bad discourse' on Parler, and it was not moderated at all (or community moderated which had no effect).

I don't like Apple's App Store 'monopoly' however they were within reason to not want Parler in the store.

If Apple allowed non-AppStore downloads, then I think it would have sat much better.

Amazon however, I think did something a few steps more inappropriate and more nakedly political.

Amazon has a zillion customers that do arguably more nefarious things, in the 'big picture' they look hypocritical, though they are surely within legal rights as well.

I do feel however, that Amazon shouldn't be allowed to drop customers without a 3 month notice unless said customers have done something actually illegal, and by that I mean 'illegal as designated by an actual Judge'.
I'm not suggesting software developer #1034643 at Alphabet will be able to influence their AI safety policies, I am suggesting Lead AI Safety Researcher #17 at Alphabet will be able to influence their AI safety policies - possibly not, but there's a strong non-zero chance there. Certainly their chances of influencing AI safety policies at Alphabet, which people argue is important, is far greater than if they were a finance engineer earning the same salary at Jane Street. You could argue that Timnit Gebru was unable to introduce change because she was fired before publishing the paper about Google Brain, but nine congressmen have asked for an investigation and it's hardly over so who knows what'll happen there.

I've read similar evidence about people not being able to do much, but someone (or some committee) is having an impact on research direction somewhere within the company (else they wouldn't have even started that research department to begin with).
Unfortunately, a lot of us are using VPNs now. So, location isn't a very good indicator as that would provide a lot of false positives. That actually happened to me recently, and I though "Oh yeah, I was using a VPN then." So, that indicator is just getting worse as I use a VPN on my phone all the time now.
IANAL.

The order here[1], which the OP did not cite/link to, is a temporary order to provide relief while a court case is decided.

My understanding of the argument is that the journalists claim that physical force is being used to prevent them from reporting on protests, and that their presence is lawful. The police claim that they are issuing disperse orders to people on the street. The cause of the disperse order is not clear to me: it seems like it could be that there is a curfew presently establish — however, the curfew exempts the press, and so would not apply to them. It could be that they believe the crowd unruly & are trying to maintain safety, however, that action needs to (IMO) be enforced against the individuals that are the cause of the unsafety/riot if there is one, which press acting solely as press cannot by definition be. As the order states,

> Accordingly, in order for the State Defendants' general dispersal orders limiting the press's access to be constitutional, the State Defendants must demonstrate that general dispersal orders are "essential to preserve higher values and [are] narrowly tailored to serve that interest." The State Defendants fail to do so here.³

> ³Indeed, although the State Defendants argue that their general dispersal orders were "necessary for obvious safety reasons," they make no attempt to demonstrate that the general dispersal orders were narrowly tailored to address those safety concerns.

I wasn't trying to be all "doom and gloom," but as one concerned about tracking (yes, all the social media and stuff you mention, which I try to be very conscious about) the casual mention of adding in tracking to a particular event really could have used more context and explanation (especially given the technical audience). I love see the data analysis on SO, but there is a general need for transparency and opt-in on the internet. Not saying this was a huge deal, but the fact that it can be so casual speaks to the larger issues I'd say.
I definitely don't begrudge anyone who likes documentation - but we all have different parts of the dev cycle that we like - some folks love to architect solutions and hate implementation because of the fiddly bits and details - other people dislike the stress of having to come up with overarching approaches and get analysis paralysis but when it comes to splatting out the vision into code it's meditative. Still other folks love to break things and enjoy needling edge cases in unit tests (if you find one of these or are one of these - know their value, they are a hot commodity). Then other folks love the teaching/explaining part that comes with documentation.

I think that there is a way we can improve as an industry to let more people specialize into their niches (which would move us closer to a factory/assembly line sort of setup) but right now most developers are artisans that receive some vague ticket and produce code and everything for it as a result.
This is why the business side and news side of (quality) news papers have been historically kept separate. It also leads to perceived "weirdness" to readers when they see a paper taking money from a corporation to run an advertisement alongside an article critical of said corporation.

This isn't to invalidate your point completely, but to give some insight to those who are not aware of how this conflict of interest has been generally handled.
wouldn't MFA/OTP be sufficient to compensate?
Huawei had employees onsite in the netherlands for access. Unauthorized full network access happened from China.

I do agree it's again here and shouldn't be anymore. But don't claim it's normal, the audit reported it as not.

KPN even hid the report for 10 years, because it was afraid of it's contents to go public.

Ps. Yes, i speak dutch, so I read the original article on Volkskrant.nl . More information is probably getting out soon as it's being inquired currently by their government.
I like SE Lain but I don’t hold it as my favorite anime series. I’m more of a Texhnolyze fan and I do like Yoshitoshi Abe’s character design.

His designs are present in Lain, Niea Under 7, Haibane Renmei, Despera, Phenomeno, Texhnolyze and others. I really like his artwork and I made a habit of buying one of his artbooks everytime I visit the Akihabara Mandarake building.

I think it goes far beyond that. Silently tailoring experiences right down to the personal level compromises our shared understanding of reality and fractures society. I believe this kind of thing is responsible, in no small part, for the increased political tensions we see today. How can we have a democracy when everyone gets custom-made propaganda, and no one knows what's being whispered into anyone else's ear?
I wish I had the data to create a Venn diagram of people who believe that bakeries should be able to refuse gay customers, and those who are screaming that big tech can't just arbitrarily decide who it does business with.

I hear a lot of voices in these threads that would occupy the overlap of that Venn Diagram. The cognitive dissonance is really something.
> No one thinks the airline mechanic who didn't tighten down a bolt was trying to cause a plane crash.

I dunno, if I found out a significant numbers of airline mechanics, their supervisors, and the people who investigate crashes were all members of groups hostile to certain airports, and crashes due to maintenance failures kept happening to flights to and from those airports without significant accountability, I might start thinking that, yeah, there are some problems with aircraft maintenance that go beyond neutral competence issues, and involve, if not necessarily intentionality, at a minimum bias-driven focusses neglect.

Of course, there’s probably a reason that crash investigation universally involves people with no close common chain of command and operational dependence with pilots, airline mechanics, etc.
Unless you generate all the password variations upfront and salt+hash them all! I think I’ve heard that some place (maybe Facebook?) does this for common password entry mistakes like capitalization.
I went into the app store to see about this app, having not heard about it yet. The app's privacy policy says it uses Firebase (Google) Analytics, which transmits information about your use of the app off the device without consent.

This, to me, means I can never trust it for scanning sensitive or private documents, because who knows what it's sending. I declined to install it. YMMV.

> There is no such thing as human race in the biological consensus

There is. There is however no clear way to create a line saying "here one race ends and the other race begins", there is a continuous spectrum between Europeans and Africans and Asians. So the way USA tries to put you in discrete bins like "White", "Black", "Latino", "Asian" is unscientific, but the concept that humans whose ancestors came from different parts of the world are different enough for them to be considered separate races is not.

Technically there are more races of humans in Africa than outside Africa since it is so diverse, but USA still groups all of them as "black", its just pure nonsense what they are doing.
Not that much as it will no doubt be hardware accelerated.
Removing "payable to the bearer on demand" seems especially relevant.

I definitely noticed like "huh, it's weird we haven't had a new Firefox version to deploy yet this month". I'm used to seeing a point release nearly as soon as I deploy the previous Firefox version, lol. It isn't the first time, but it's infrequent enough to be kinda notable when they go an entire cycle without a point release.
> the social media giant has been funneling money to America’s biggest news organizations—and hanging the rest of the press out to dry.

The complaint here doesn't seem to be that Facebook is handing out money, but rather that not everyone is getting a cut.

This has a lot less to do with the modern world than Lain does. Yes, even with COVID. Do you mean it's predicting some future state of the world that you expect to come to be?

The "meeting in person is odd, interactions are typically machine-mediated and remote" thing was also done (most famously) by EM Forster (1909; collected 1928), and also by Clarke's The City and the Stars (1956 publication; based on a 1948 novella, though I don't know whether that element was present in it as I've only read the novel). Probably a bunch of others, too. I'd rank the oracular qualities of Asimov's sci-fi fairly low, so far as that matters (shrug), especially for any original and not already-tropey-by-the-time-he-did-it ideas of his.

Asimov's use of the trope in that story had more to do with creating a setting as much the opposite of the packed-like-sardines city-world of the first Robot Detective book than trying to predict anything, or to present the mostly-remote-interaction society thing as a novel notion per se. The defining characteristics of the society on that planet were extreme wealth, individualism, and personal-security paranoia. Their interaction habits fell out of those traits and preferences.

These all feel a bit indirect on how they might have a positive impact.

For a job board like this, I would prefer that the companies themselves are directly working on high impact problems that are a benefit to society and the environment.

Would also be nice to see a quick description of the impact each company is trying to have.
PCI DSS section 8.3 requires MFA explicitly.

The logical assumption is that PCI does not consider satisfaction of 8.3 to be a compensating control for the requirements in 8.2.4 -- however I've never heard of anyone who made the attempt.

...

PCI is a weird mix of requirements, evaluations, and compensations. The final authority is the PCI org themselves (i.e. the card networks), but the eval is performed by PCI-approved third parties, for report to your business partners. Requirements are extensive but not always definitive. Compensations are subjective, at best. Enforcement is sketchy but can be devastating.

The usual approach is to comply, comply, comply, and accept that some of it is policy theater, but it's rarely bad policy.

Password rotation is bad policy, but ironically it's mitigated by MFA!
I 110% believe you :D
| Silicon Valley is an odd mixture of socialist ideals

There is literally nothing socialist about Silicon Valley. Government spending is not socialism and never has been.

If Silicon Valley supported nationalization, collectivization or unionization, you would have a case. But they don't, in fact they're pretty obviously against all of them.
If you are going to make such claims, then at least try and be objective about it. Let's start with the toxic hellfire that is Twitter, I'm sure no credible death threats exist there, right?
Can somebody tell Microsoft this fact?
The issue is the difference in “sensor” size. The “crop factor” of the rPi camera is 5.5 so a 50mm lens provides an angle of view equivalent to a 275mm lens for 35mm film.

To get down into “normal” lens equivalent would require something like 8mm. A fisheye would probably be ok because the center tends to be relatively less distorted. But if there are 8mm rectilinear lenses for 35mm film cameras you probably can’t find one and maybe not afford one...Its price would buy a lot of film.

I mean there are digital sensors that retrofit film cameras. Products for Hasselblad 500 series and Mamiya RB have been around since the early days of digital. They have always been less than $100k and still are today.

Anyway if you want to use an old film camera, just buy some film and have a go. They are incredible mechanical devices and a pleasure in the hand and produce that film look naturally.
What it generates you have control of. So you can say "I want uppercase, lowercase, numbers, characters, of length X". So the guidelines are still relevant.

The only thing you should remember is the password into your password manager, and if you want to add more words, by all means; I just find it quicker to type, no harder to remember, while making a dictionary attack unfeasible, by adding a character or two to the passphrase. I.e., "correct!horsebattery,staple" (though I agree that at four words you're fine anyway; I'm just saying that with a little noise thrown in I can type two or three words, plus a couple standalone, easy to remember characters for the same level of complexity)

It would seem to me that if the amphorae were truly made in the 3rd century, there should have been enough time in the intervening 38 years to establish more conclusive dating than the stylistic comparisons that were apparently used originally (and that were bound to be misleading if the amphorae were replicas of a particular style).
Brain computer interfaces will be life changing for about 1% of users, but unbelievably invasive for the rest after Facebook etc gets on board (possibly via oculus?)
I may be ignorant, but aren't ARM designed CPU's (like the A78) miles behind their most advanced licensees, like Apple with the M1/A12? Isn't most of their value just riding on licenses of their established instruction set?
> These are separate: media has a financial incentive in crises, media has on several occurrences taken recent actions that stir up their crises more than reasonably incident in getting the facts.

How would it matter, in this instance, even if it were the case? A judge has explicitly ordered the police to leave journalists alone. So, the police is enforcing its own version of the law, in disagreement with the judiciary?

So your excuse is that it’s ok, it’s just the police going rogue?

> These two are separately supported, one does not suggest the other independently, but considered together can be argued to be a motivation and resulting action.

Punishing people for things they might have done hypothetically because of their profession is a strange conception of justice. Either they are guilty of doing something illegal (which inciting riots is and should be), in which case you try them and punish them for that, or they aren’t. This is irrelevant to whether they should be intimidated for covering protests, which they most certainly have a right to do.

> Doctors make money from more sick people: true. If we found that doctors we’re poisoning the water supply frequently, we might take that observation and consider it in the light of their financial incentives.

And harass them, round them up, and intimidate them, regardless of what they have done or not? Somehow I doubt it.
>in order for it to be truly useful there needs to be a bit of a community to share creations

Ah, ok. That probably would have been clear to me if I had given your statements the benefit of the strongest argument you could be making. My bad, that's totally on me.
Regulation is usually pretty light on specific technical measures, it says something vague like "you must follow best practices" and then there's industry consensus / rumors about what those are.
The difficulty doesn't magically adjust right away.

It adjusts after two weeks on 10 minute blocks.

When the has rate drops suddenly as it just did, the block rate drops and the transaction capacity drops with it. The time to adjust also stretches out since it is based on a number of blocks and not on absolute time. If hash rate drops 50%, then the transaction capacity drops 50% and the time to adjust extends to about three weeks instead of two.

An alternative is anything else but bitcoin and ethereum. Those are the only two with high transaction costs. Bitcoin cash, monero, dogecoin, litecoin and whatever else are still viable, although when dogecoin shot up the transactions started to cost 50 cents to $1 USD.
Are you implying the ban was warranted at any point in time?
