Yep, I even went down and checked it out on because I live near DC. I think lying is a strong word, saying that “you won’t have a country” is true but I think he’s talking about due to long term effects of bad policy, not literal country stealing (which makes no sense).

We also know that people have cheated in elections since the dawn of time, in the US it’s typical for each party to just ignore it for the sake of moving along, in this case we found a guy who didn’t care about towing party lines so he decided it was a hill to die on.

Right or wrong if anything he revealed some massive flaws in the system and if voting is as important as people say then it’s probably a good thing to be aware of and scrutinize.

Remember, he could be right, it came down to a mere handful of counties where the results were never able to be verified, and to this day the local officials have been blocking attempts to audit, even after judges ordered it or subpoenas were issued. Maricopa county audit is happening soon I think.
It’s not dissonance. They believe that things they don’t like shouldn’t happen and things they do like should be allowed. They want to be homophobic and not have their political opinions censured. There’s no inconsistency there.

It bothers me when people bring this up about SCOTUS appointments. “Mitch McConnell said Merrick Garland can’t be voted on because it is an election year then did the same with ACB weeks before an election. What a hypocrite!”

The right has cared about one thing above all else for the past decade: put conservative judges on the bench; as many as they can, as fast as possible. There’s no “dissonance”. They know exactly what they care about, what they’re doing, and why.

It’s the same thing here. People don’t go by frameworks. They backfill justifications for their feelings. If those justifications overlap in weird ways, it’s just that they’re bad at consistently translating those justifications. The feelings are the same and not contradictory.
My understanding is that the current security flags model isn't really meant to be the final solution. They wanted to ensure that the browser security model isn't simply dropped like it is in Node, but to improve it further they'll probably need outside help.

The racial element is very clear, black men are overwhelmingly more likely to be lynched by police than white men: https://www.pnas.org/content/116/34/16793

The infiltration of polices forces by white supremacist gangs is also well documented: https://www.justsecurity.org/70507/white-supremacist-infiltr...

If you are claiming that these attacks are not racially motivated then to what cause do you assign them? The fact that they sometimes kill white people too doesn’t prove that they aren’t racist, it just shows that they are completely out of control. Half of them belong in jail and the other hal need to undergo dramatic reform.
"Cotton kills" is a common refrain in rowing because when its wet in cold environments, it can lead to hypothermia. Additionally, cotton is very heavy in water. Basic water safety used to teach that you should strip down, even use your jeans as a flotation device.
They probably justified it as some sort of product validation? Its like a huge thing with the community at indie hackers to use a landing page to validate market demand.
That sounds like academia, where people are also expected to be constantly innovative on demand and, when the majority just can't pull it off, they invent BS research and produce worthless papers which clog the system.

I'm sure much of it is scoring woke points, but in the USA there has been historically (and still today) discrimination in housing with regards to race, some of it even institutionalised.
It's something that became pretty clear to me over the past year - if you don't get excited by this kind of physical contact you're probably a little different from others.

That's OK. I not only don't celebrate that way, it'd make me uncomfortable even for a peer I like to hug me out of excitement. It's not what I want but it's what other people want and it seems to be the norm.

You may end up learning that this may hold you back professionally at some point unless you can stay in a role that doesn't value social signaling, as these behaviors are basically expected, and not performing them will get you excluded, unless you find a way to surround yourself with people who have shared views on this sort of thing, which is really hard to find out because it's implied.

At least that's what I've been thinking this past year of isolation where I have been very happy to not feel obliged to do the social things everyone else so desperately wants to go out and do together.

I'm on the lookout for backcountry camping trips I can do once things are "back to normal" so I can continue my isolation while everyone is at restaurants and parties.

Of course I do. But students are probably taking like 50 pictures a week for their various courses. I don't think they like the tediousness of it.

Plus with this, I could look at student solutions much easier during class or office hours.

Similarly, I don't want to whip out my phone to take 30 pictures of my research notes one by one.

Sure, there are boring bits. But I think what he is more looking for is being able to explore the space and more open-endedness to projects, which I do think academia affords. It might also mean he'll never really produce anything and keep going down rabbit-holes. But that can be enjoyable.

Well, unfortunately it doesn't seem like we're willing or able to make these decisions in the US. We as a country don't seem to be able to get everyone on the same page on these matters. There are just too many people who either don't believe the problem is serious or they do not care.

I have no clue. I'm almost always wrong on the social side of things.

I've seen a few paternosters in action and just checked a few random YouTube videos and I'm fairly sure that that pretty much all of them have plates between carriages. Your parent's concern appears unfounded.
>Furthermore, you must retain old passwords to disallow dupes for at least 5 cycles.

More cynically: password reuse is allowed after 5 cycles.
Most products these days are built on the philosophy of starting small and iterating. This incremental approach is extremely helpful in reducing risk and preventing spectacular failures. However, it is not possible to get out of a local maxima with an incremental approach.

I believe this is what has happened with most products we use. Each is optimized for a narrow set of functionalities, where the creators perceived a gap and addressed it. Once they have been optimized this way, expanding the functionalities is probably even more difficult that recreating a whole new product.
Totally. It's a negative feedback loop. I need an efficient circuit breaker and the only thing I can really think of is Nike's "just do it." Why is it so hard? Feels like I'm hitting a wall. I've watched this video several times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo08uS904Rg and it helped me understand what part of the problem was, but it's still been hard getting things going. It might be an inspiration problem. I'm not proud of it, but during this lull I bought Animal Crossing on a whim and logged 200 hours in a month. I was able to wake up early, be super productive in that game with no caffeine and little food. I don't understand.
There's no difference between this and the transfers I can do on my bank's website. If anything, having a government crypto account would mean that the government would know who was on both ends of every transaction made through it, and could trivially reverse payments.
> these companies will simply hollow ARM out (slash R&D, cut staff etc) to pump up the target’s value, before flogging it off or breaking it up

This seems dramatically more likely from a generic investment consortium like SoftBank versus an actual chip-focused R&D organization like nvidia. I don't see how this is possibly a counterargument for sale to nvidia.

Probably someone working on a limited mainframeish type computer in 1964 when many terminals didn't support lower case and the memory to store passwords was expensive. The idea of encrypting the password probably didn't exist in those days either. None of this mattered because all the terminals were inside their building so you had to get by the guard to get in. Best practices have moved on many times since then.
> About the only thing Twitter censored was threats of violence or rape, election misinformation, or extremely blatant racism.

> Their only appeal was to people who found that kind of speech acceptable. If you market primarily to violent and racist people, you are absolutely going to be associated with negative connotations.

This is not just explicitly false, it is a gish gallop of unsubstantiated insinuations about Parler and/or their customers. I spent some time on Parler, and I was expecting a hellscape but instead literally did not see even one example of the type of content you are listing out here. If it exists, it is exceedingly rare, which makes sense considering Parler had 20 million users. The vast majority of the content was people posting the same content they post on other platforms, to build up a presence on Parler.

As for your claims about what Twitter censors - it is certainly not as limited as you claim. Some examples: 1) They censored Zero Hedge from talking about the Wuhan lab leak theory and banned them for months before reinstating them, under the very dubious claim that they "doxxed" the head of the lab, whose contact information was provided on the Wuhan lab website as the public contact for the lab. More recently, once other people starting talking about the Wuhan lab leak theory, it was suddenly okay. 2) Twitter blocked NY Post's story about Hunter Biden under a vague "hacked materials" policy (https://nypost.com/2020/10/15/twitter-changes-hacked-materia...) - meanwhile, they allowed the NY Times and others to post about Trump's private financial data, and allow "hacktivists" to share illegally obtained materials with no consequence. 3) Twitter censored posts about BLM's founder spending millions on real estate (https://nypost.com/2021/04/16/social-media-again-silences-th...)

There's a more extensive list of inconsistent, one-sided application of censorship in social media at https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/15/11-hacks-leaks-and-hoax... and https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/free-speech/nb-staff/2020/.... Other articles compiling censorship actions also appear in web searches, and they too go far beyond the types of censorship you mentioned. It is clear that US tech giants - who are more influential than most nations - are not in the business of facilitating open discourse and a diversity of ideas. They are simply ideologically biased in their rampant censorship, which is why alternative platforms, heavier regulation, and a renewal of antitrust law are needed.
There is one where is it plausibly performant without being socially acceptable, and it is dark. Premeditated attack.

That sounds intriguing to me. Are you aware of any research into this?
Thanks for the feedback. How can Aidmin do better here? You are signing up for a service and effectively creating a workspace for your project / organization.

I could see it not needing a name, but its used to manage your users that belong to the workspace. I thought it would be a better experience than just show the email of the user.
> Building market share by massive "deficit spending" is how many companies became huge in the past decades.

Sure, but that's got limits. If you need to sell a product for less than COGS when you start a company, no worries, but you need a plan to flip that ratio around eventually before investors get fed up and stop handing you capital. Maybe when you scale up to mass-production, your production cost per unit drops. Or you steadily creep the price up over time, or push features into a higher paying tier. Or maybe the product is a loss leader, and you make the money up elsewhere (eg: sell hardware at a loss, recoup it in subscriptions).

The point is MoviePass did not appear to ever have a hope of succeeding other than "maybe in the future, we can negotiate enough deals with cinemas to drive the cost down." They had other levers that I'm sure they were considering too: limit MoviePass to empty seats/certain showings on quiet nights, increase the price of MoviePass, limit the number of views per month, etc. The trouble is, they sold MoviePass at such a ridiculously low price point ($10/mo) that even if they did all of those things, there's no guarantee they would have been able to boil the frog slowly enough to reach profitability.

As the article points out, MoviePass was cheaper than buying just one ticket when it first launched. Somebody who only saw two movies per month already cost the company more than double what they brought in, and there were plenty of people using it weekly. You're creating a huge customer expectation with that - it's going to be a very tough sell to trim that offering to the point where it's profitable and you retain enough customers at the end of the day.
When did things go wrong in San Francisco?
Rotating passwords every so often is good advice, and I find it unlikely to discover a good reason not to.

With a password manager, this process is pretty painless, if not automatic.

Mandating it for my Hello Kitty: Island Adventure account seems a bit heavy-handed though.

Rather than pulling back the recommendations, we should really be implementing open standards for automatic rotations that don't rely on reverse engineering / implementing various third party reset password flows.
That only applies to Level 1 and/or SAQ D merchants (who are storing card numbers) which the vast majority are not.

I've got this point, this allows you to maintain access to your accounts.

But the question was more along the lines of: how do you protect the lost device from being used by the thief, thereby impersonating you? You presumably need some method to let the device know it's really you.

So if it's not a password, what is it? I seem to remember an article a few years back of a group (probably the CCC, but I'm not sure) that managed to reproduce Angela Merkel's fingerprint without physical access to her fingers. Apple claims Face ID is more secure. But is it, really? I honestly don't know, and finger unlock was supposed to be secure, too. What happens if we find out it isn't?
I confess that I have trouble seeing the logic in wanting to work for someone for free. Maybe as a short-term learning thing if a temporary position can be structured that way legally.

But, by and large, if you don't care about being paid, why not just work on your own project. Because there's pretty much no such thing as a 100% no-BS position anywhere.
Why didn’t Peercoin and Novacoin stand the test of time? Both were PoS and had high market caps.

> Either way, the employee is not made worse off because the CEO collects a fat stack of options at the expense of the shareholder.

Of course the employees are made worse off by that: If the shareholders didn't give all that money to the CEO, they could give it to the other employees in stead and be no worse off themselves. The CEO uses up all the available potential for employee compensation at the expense of everyone else.

Your thesis is just astonishingly weird.

It should import from the previous release, so try reverting to 85 and upgrading through the intermediate versions.
Yes, phone apps work, but they still require several clicks to get things right, and upload. But if your camera is fixed relative to the paper, then there is a single known transform that will correct perspective.

If you're saying kids shouldn't play on them unsupervised, I agree. But for those ages, the same thing is true of a bicycle. I'm just objecting to the notion that there's no difference between a bicycle or a treadmill and a circular saw as far as using them around children goes.

Any government crypto wouldn't be a clone of bitcoin. It wouldn't place any importance on anonymity, untraceability, or immutability (quite the opposite.) There's absolutely no doubt that there would be massive controls over any international payments.
That's really neat. Still there should be a limited number of possible variants right? Like the energy landscape is fixed and will only admit so many possibilities?

So many responses here are of the type: "My org couldn't hire someone like that for legitimate reasons". They then list a series of fears they might have with such an employee. This is typical engineering thought, a pessimism firmly rooted in avoidance of problems. Engineers tend to focus on what can go wrong so that they can avoid negative outcomes. One myopia of our discipline is we don't often consider "what would the world look like if this went better than expected?"

So my advice to the OP is to focus on opportunities and positions that do not require going through engineering gatekeeping. Other disciplines tend to have more optimistic viewpoints and tend to be more willing to accept risk when they feel there is potential for high returns. I would recommend finding small startups that are looking for part-time engineering folks.

What the article means is: we dont have 12 notes (A B C D E F G H I J K L). Instead, for historical reasons (the choice of CMaj/Amin as a reference due to the notation evolution from heptatonic scales) we have A B C D E F G and we annotate with accidentals but, since those are not evenly spaced, there are some missing "black keys" there.

Also, what devnonymous says, which I agree with too (but that's another story...)
