Title is correct, because only tech giants will be able to bear the cost of this regulation. If you have a small forum or a blog where other people can post, it means you are in a pickle.
If your user base consists of significant amount of people based in the EU, then the law applies to you regardless where your site is located.
I'll see how this develops, but I am likely going to close a few projects, as I don't have money to create a post in the EU for handling such requests.
Closing the service for EU based IP addresses will not solve the problem if EU users use VPN.
The cherry on top, they passed this law without any voting.
Do they have RV parks out there? Because if they will allow you to use them, most of those are suitable for overnight charging. I'm not familiar enough with the routes and distances involved to know, but it'd be interesting to see some of the specific locations you are thinking of?

This sounds a bit like a chokepoint. Is the important point here that Zanzibar is distributed and therefore is a good thing to be querying from all over the system (as supposed to one centralised application).

oh then this is just approximating the values of the linear transform. I figured at least they'd use mlp to learn each layer of the FFT butterfly network, and the corresponding weights. What would be of interest would be if you could extend this for n length fft using an RNN network

Suffragettes only really start picking up steam in the 20th century and Queen Victoria died in 1901.

I'm not going to say that Victorian social norms were frozen in time but there wasn't anything on the scale of the 20th century movements in terms of radicalization.
It's a shame this isn't the top comment, because it's a lot more interesting than Ishkur's smartassery and all the across-the-pond sniping.

There used to be a great website called Deep House Page which archived loads of Hot Mix 5 mixes, and you could really hear just how diverse that early era of post-disco dance music was, before it even got pigeonholed into "house" or "techno" and the myriad of subgenres that came since. Sadly the page has disappeared, and I'm not sure where to find the mixes now.

Meanwhile, in parallel, people in other countries were experimenting with synthesizers and unconventional composition too. I remember finding mixtapes of an obscure Australian band called Hugo Klang (https://hugoklang.bandcamp.com/) who were doing techno-y stuff with the 303 a few years before Phuture put together their seminal tune.

Without a doubt the big names that everyone remembers as the progenitors were hugely influential. Already in the 90s people were writing articles that started out exactly like this one, so we're already a full generation into the myth. But it's still interesting to go digging and find all the other stuff that surely played a part in influencing all the other people whose stories never got written up.
Hi – I’m Hank and I bought a Bus
The term "backdoor" kind of has two commonly used but somewhat different meanings: an embedded backdoor and an access backdoor. (Or perhaps "application backdoor" vs. "system backdoor".)

The first meaning is what you describe: something malicious stealthily implanted into an otherwise-legitimate or thought-to-be-legitimate application or appliance.

The other meaning covers any method of secret access persistence on a compromised system (generally a host, like a server). This could be something like a bash script that launches a reverse shell when you login, a malicious kernel module that extracts and executes arbitrary C code if a specific pattern is detected in network traffic, or just about anything imaginable. And you could also achieve it with the former definition.

I think among the infosec community, it's indeed more common for "backdoor" to refer to the former and a general term like "persistence" / "persistence mechanism" (though that can potentially refer to anything malicious that persists), or sub-categories like "foothold", to refer to the latter. "Backdoor" for the latter wouldn't be a misuse, though.

There's also a possible looser third definition, where lazy / fearmongering anti-virus companies sometimes like to label almost any kind of malware a "backdoor" or "backdoor trojan", perhaps because that carries more frightening implications for end users than a term like "virus" or "malware". It somewhat overlaps with the second definition, but I think it's rare a technical person would use it that way; it's less rare that a technical person might use the second definition.
I found that making the container was trivial, but deploying it using the AWS Container Orchestration Service or Fargate was not. Tons of configuration options, and security never seems to work right out of the box.
Sprinters, for whom small margins make the biggest difference, are most often not looking at the starter. Granted, could be because they don't have to because someone is firing a .32 caliber blank nearby, but that horse has left the barn for now.
similiar but on the flip side i’m pretty sure they’ll be cheaper and better in a few years. so seems dumb buying one now. cars aren’t like iphones where i can afford to upgrade often
There's a wide range of degrees between "unfoolable" and "can be done by a persistent student". I think the impression (at least my impression) used to be is that it was possible before but quite unlikely without state-level efforts, but now we understand a properly advised student can get most of their attempted vulnerabilities inserted.
I think of it as people-inertia too.

If IT sucks for people who want to change things and roll out new and exciting products, most of those people will... not work in IT.

Consequently, when you're soliciting ideas from your team, there aren't any of those people to speak up.

And if no one asks "Why are we doing this?" or "What if we did this differently?", then it's much easier to pretend another way doesn't exist.
>In the UK we have limited freedom of expression [...] which is much more narrowly defined

There is no real distinction between freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Speech is expression, or rather it is a subset.

Section 10 of the Human Rights Act 1998 is the "Power to take remedial action" by ministers if a court has issued a declaration of incompatibility.

I think you mean Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which is given direct domestic legal effect by the Human Rights Act.

A10 states

>Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers.

which I'm not sure you can claim isn't "freedom of speech".

I did state earlier that it's a qualified right, and those qualifications are:

>The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

but this hardly seems like it undermines freedom of speech. There are limits, but they must be "necessary in a democratic society" (which can be - and often is - the basis for a legal challenge by those who think their A10 rights have been violated) and for a defined, and limited, number of reasons.

Like I also said above, if you remove (some of) these qualifications then you end up with perverse results, like undermining the right to privacy or justice itself.
Well in this case of a video game. There was a loader loading the image into ram then hot patching it. They deemed the loader copying it into ram was copying. IANAL but sometimes they take the term copying very literally.
> Eh, Super Charging is 15-25 minutes. Gas fill up is about 3-5 minutes minimum and definitely more expensive. So I'd say they're closer to even, but w/e.

In my experience, the biggest issue is location. If I had superchargers at every lunch/dinner stop, the difference would almost be unnoticeable.
I have zero doubt that given sufficient resources ANY function can be learned by a neural network.

Why not just initialize part of the layers in a network to do the FFT, or DFT when you're setting up a system to learn, that it doesn't have to waste megawatt hours of power? Consider it a form of discretized / explicit transfer learning.

Why not use the fact that you could just set the coefficients in a neural network to do DFTs or FFTs to utilize neural network chips as ersatz DSP chips, without learning?

Just like when GPUs turned out to be useful for neural networks, the TPUs will turn out to be useful for DSP and other things. These neural network chips showing up can do a lot of cool things unrelated to AI, if we use them properly.

> teenagers that committed suicide due to lockdowns

This turned out to be false expectation. Turns out that while teenagers were unhappy and did not enjoyed the situation, they were able to adapt without destroying themselves.
We're fully aware of this. That doesn't make those relationships any less 'worthwhile' while we do have them.
The infection vector is not clear, this is the payload.
That sounds great; I’ll add it to my list of actions to lobby my elected officials for. I regularly pick up trash while walking around the neighborhood, in part under the impression that trash invites more trash. Much of the volume is cans and bottles, and more people might change their habits for the economics regardless of concern over land, water, air, and life.

Agree or disagree with whether it should have been done but blaming UMN was a social tactic to embarass the University so that UMN would apply pressure to the researcher and deal with them.
I personally prefer nano over vi, ed or emacs. But when I do some programming or bigger work I use proper IDE like Visual Studio Code or Eclipse.

It's decent enough for times when you want to do something quick on cli. And then spend rest of the time with graphical IDEs...
Interesting factoid: the human brain processes sound faster that sight [1]. The difference cited in the paper below is roughly 40 ms, which is small in an absolute sense, but compared to the relative time tolerances we are discussing here in this parent article, it's huge!

Naturally this effect cancels out if all competitors get the same visual cue, however it's still to the benefit of athletes and fans to want quicker reaction times:

- Shorter overall reaction times means faster races means better records

- The standard deviation of reaction times is smaller for sound than for sight, which means the reaction time is more fair to all

They're arguing simultaneously "lockdowns had no impact on people's behavior and therefore had no benefit" and "lockdowns had massive negative costs". Lo and behold that is the exact mistake the paper is making! It's basing the cost analysis off the following question:

>Suppose you could either live a year of life in the COVID era, or X months under normal conditions. What’s the value of X that makes the AVERAGE American indifferent?

Yet you'll notice this is not about lockdown versus non-lockdown this is "normal" versus COVID. Moreover, the number they use for X is just made-up. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black - this is the exact mistake the author goes on and on about for the other side of the cost/benefit equation.

This paper is super sketchy in other ways - it's clearly a personal diatribe, not an attempt to be accurate. Like:

> Lockdown is a formal,state-mandated “one size fits all” version of the social norm “keep your distancefrom people who are sick."

Is the author unaware of asymptomatic transmission? If all we had to do was keep away from sick people, then this would have been a SARS-1 outcome.

> As a result, the ICL model made some dire predictions ... For instance: “In the (unlikely) absence of any control measures or spontaneous changes in individual behaviour ... In total,in an unmitigated epidemic, we would predict approximately 510,000 deaths in GB and 2.2 million in the US...”

The US has achieved 1/4 of those deaths with behavioral changes (from lockdowns or not), so 2 million without any behavioral changes seems like a good estimate from early data.

Fig 2B is clearly over-fit on past data. I doubt it will hold up well.
How often does this happen? Is this a USA-only problem? Credit card details stolen to commit fraud can easily be solved by calling your bank.
Many comments here came up with a 'clever' comeback in the form of "Oh yeah? What about grossly overpriced product XYZ? I bet it wouldn't help their sales." Well no shit, sherlock. This advice isn't for them, it's for their competitor's product ABC who is aiming to make an honest product for a fair price. To head off such dense comments perhaps a better title would be:

> Show your costs to boost sales for honest products
This was really precious, spasibo! Especially for warnings on [not] using regular disks.

But from what I learned there, Chia is not a consumer’s tech, cause mainnet already requires huge TBW per dollar ratio, which ubiquitous Samsung EVO/Pro and alikes cannot do. It goes miners-are-special-hardware route again, sadly.
>I will be really shocked if the google IO is not an online conference going forward.

I would be very surprised. I'm connected to the tech events space and the widespread assumption is that events will go back to physical while maintaining a strong online component going forward to continue to reach more people.
> It's not written in stone. Check out the story of the Loess plateu

Which is why I said "as a whole". You pointed out a single example of when humans did a good thing for the environment, but as a whole (meaning all humans for all of history) we have had a net negative impact on the planet.

Regarding determining the impact, you can't just outright ban something without knowing the impact. Which is why they're doing these trials. It's not wholesale strip-mining the sea floor, it's a test of technology to see if it can be done sustainably and with minimal negative impact to the environment.

You're talking about css modules. It's a different feature.
That's not really news though, and IMHO one of the major points of criticism against the researchers: If what they did would have shown anything new or unsuspected it'd have been one thing, but they didn't, and could have shown the same with less impact.
A bunch of scientific libraries in Python and Julia are wrappers for really fast stuff made in Fortran, C/C++ so...
People jump to Hanlon's razor way too quickly. The mere knowledge that people are likely to brush off things as incompetence instead of malice is a potential tool in the hands of the malicious.

Yes, all things being equal, it's better to err on the side of assuming someone didn't have malicious intent, but some people like to use it like a blunt instrument and the fact they do is dangerous in such a complex world.

Additionally, it's incredibly biased in its application simply because only a good-natured person would be inclined to brush off malicious action as incompetence. Malicious actors would be unlikely to do the same.
That may be the case with some consumers of the material, but it is not obvious to me that it is the case with all or even most of them. Further, the idea that to have a desire necessarily leads to acting on it is on extremely shaky ground. To what extent is the 'habit' the habit of seeking out dirty stories, and to what extent is the 'desire' the desire to orgasm without harming another person?
A Letter to My Fellows and Not Only
I can't remember how but nano has the bottom two lines showing common actions and their key-commands, so the answer is on screen.
You've made some statements there but provided no context. Why is it a bad thing? I've been on the platform since 2007 - the App Store has been around since 2008. To date, I have had exactly 0 issues. Annecdata for sure, but I'm clearly not the only one to have this experience.
I think you are a little biased by having a vehicle (the Bolt) that can't do more than about 55kw. There are more DCFC for CCS, but most are limited to ~50kw or less with most vehicles.

The only comparable network to Tesla is EA and they hope to be about 3/4s the size of Tesla's network by early 2022.
Yes, it can be a long-term career. You need to think about what you like doing though because Salesforce often brings you in contact with a different set of customers. You will need to develop consulting skills which you might not have over the long-term. These are the things that will give you most longevity.

Consulting is a blanket term I'm using for what is in many ways a jack-of-all-trades. These are seen by techies as a negative in many careers, but is a life-saver if you go the path of Salesforce. These include: analyzing proposals, communication with non-technical people, analyzing existing systems, change management, and influence without authority.

You need to start at the bottom and ideally get to work on some larger Salesforce deployments where you have limited responsibility. That'll give you space to learn with lower risk. You'll get to see some of these consulting skills in action over a few engagements if working with reasonable companies (do a lot of research on how companies treat IT folks.) This will help you adjust because the life of a great Saleforce dev involves engagement outside of IT.

If you don't have interest in developing these consulting skills then Salesforce will start to feel like CRUD web dev again. The skills open up opportunities to do more interesting things, or be involved in design of the systems, use newer Salesforce products, etc.

It's interesting that you complain about CRUD because 99% of web dev is CRUD when you look at all web dev. There are small group of devs who are working on startups, open source libraries, or unusual areas of web dev. Most people are just building business apps or sites that read and write data. Moving to modern frontend dev and the like is justified for various reasons among regular devs, but most often everyone really just wants the novelty after years of server-side CRUD. Nothing wrong with that, but we could be more honest and less defensive about it.
Indeed. At work my political views shift to whatever way the wind is blowing for a particular group. I can usually find a way to speak sincerely from any view point. All of this is contingent on not being able to avoid such conversations in the first place. You can piss people off by simply taking a neutral stance so that is not always an option. I often end up as an unofficial go-between for different groups where I can influence both toward more moderate common ground.
I firmly believe there is a market for this. Please, someone, make it a commercial reality.
Instead of submitting patches with known bugs, the UMN researcher could have done a retrospective study of patches from other kernel developers containing bugs that were later found and fixed. Not only was he acting in bad faith, he was stupid.
The harder part is probably fooling all of the static analysis tools that get run on the kernel, Coverity, Coccinelle, Smatch, and so forth.
You could filter a lot of it out automatically - might be doable these days.
I agree. for my use case, once a user is authenticated, you get his roles and subscription. There's a limited number of features or actions for each object type, and a limited number of object types. So you can get the set of rules in the client to manage UI, and apply the same set of rules on the backend in the API.
In this use case the authz calculation time will be the same with a million users and a billion objects.
I think if someone's rich enough to get a private jet then the odds are it was a little more than their own surplus labor that got them there.
Even driving a few blocks, having to stop and fill up, and then getting back on the route can easily take 10 minutes of your time. Being able to plug in at home and never worrying about filling up unless you're on a long drive will save you a ton of time.

Not to mention the case where you're pressed for time and realize your car is on empty.

The kernel repository, i.e. where the kernel code comes from is source-only and didn't had anything todo with that ;-).

The kernel any OS including linux runs is not source only at all, it's compiled, maybe by the user from source or by a redistributor which then passes it in compiled form to your system.

Furthermore this malware seem to not mess with the kernel, but pretend to be a normal system service.

ELF means Executable and Linkable Format, it's the executable format which Linux binaries use (and not just them). E.g. a shared library (Linux version of DLL) is in elf format. A variation of ELF is also used by UEFI but that doesn't seem to matter in this article.

So basically someone or something hacked their system and installed this malware or they where tricked into installing it themself.

The fact that the involved files where named in ways which totally could be normal parts of the system didn't help (but is also common, so I wouldn't say it made it harder).
Running something is as easy as hijacking one of those “copy and paste this line into your command prompt to install this package” things you see on many open source sites. The command always curls some bigger script down and executes it. Often times it even has you sudo to root.

While it would be prudent to examine the script rather than just blindly execute it... I imagine most don’t (myself included).
I'd be very interested to know how patterns changed between 2012 and, say, February 2020. I bet watching such data as the pandemic eases will be vastly interesting too.
I think your looking at this all wrong. Why would I or any other person spend $30,000 - $50,000 on a vehicle that is less capable then the vehicle I currently own? I cant charge at my apartment so I'm totally dependent on charging infrastructure, which is slower, has less locations and has compatibility issues that gas stations do not have. Even if most Americans dont use the full capabilities of their ICE car, why would they pay more for a less capable EV?
> how is the current charging station grid for non-Tesla EVs?

Acceptable, but different. More stations, fewer chargers per station. We haven't had any difficulty, the experience is largely similar to our Tesla. We do have to swipe a card (or use Apple Pay, which is what I do) on the charger before the electrons start flowing, but aside from that it doesn't really change our road trip experience.
was all the work that went into this project factored into the amount of money that was saved?
That is absolutely the case, but because most screens emit light and white is the brightest colour possible it also makes the eyes more tired (in my experience, not sure if this is actually the case). So you have to find a balance between readability and comfort. I personally think that #000 on #FFF is too harsh (for the purposes of reading large texts) and think that slightly less than maximum contrast would be preferable in most circumstances.
