Just a sec, need to put on my tin foil hat...

It looks like this post is from a person in Nigeria. Perhaps this is a scam where they create a blog post targeting JS noobs where they advocate for questionable security practices, making web security a little more vulnerable, therefore making it easier for scammers to exploit client side JS.

If that's the case - bravo, that is some jedi level mind tricking.

Obviously, that is unlikely, but would funny if even remotely true.

EDIT - I take that back, looks like this is the blog of a legit company [1], though it looks Russian hmmmm

I was looking for something exactly like this. Will this connect to my wahoo cadence sensor and apple watch and gps? I couldn't find the documentation.

update: watched the video it does indeed look like you have included that functionality. Joined the beta. Cant wait to try if I am accepted.
> that can't be easily solved by docker-compose?

Docker-compose only runs on my (your) laptop. What if you want to share that with someone else? I have to git stash, checkout a branch, tell someone else to do all that... I think you're on the right idea: it's "easy" to do with existing tooling, but there's a big gap between it's easy to do and then go and spend the time to do it.
Back in my younger days I wrote a few such patches. Not a lot of people use tripwire anymore!

Definitely. The influence of the reggae/dub music experiments of the 70s on both rap and EDM is underrated.
yes i very much miss TechShop. i was a lifetime member. too bad they tried to grow too big, too fast. i think they misunderstood their business, at a fundamental level.

the techshop 2.0 guy was a travesty.
> But then that raises the question of why you need crypto if everything is already encrypted and verified via TLS.

Depends where the TLS path terminates and what your threat model is. If I send a message via a service (an email via gmail.com for instance) the message is only protected by TLS as far as that provider. If the content itself is encrypted as well as the transport (and that provider does not know the keys) then the message is still protected at that point. This could be important for code sending data via an API proxy of some sort.

Also remember that the user of the browser might not have control over what certificates are trusted for HTTPS purposes. If they are operating in an environment where a local CA certificate is installed and that is used by a transparent proxy to enable them to inspect otherwise secure streams, the application protecting the content as well as the transport may protect against that (though you'll be wanting to use PKI here - otherwise you have a key distribution problem).
I don't see why a factual correction should be seen as political. Especially if I don't present any arguement with it or have it lead into an opposing opinion. As stated in the prior comment, I'll correct people who I agree with their conclusion (on different factual/logical basis) if their facts are wrong or blatantly misapplied.

The comment about the TV reporters is because they should have a responsibility to ensure their facts are correctly represented. Instead of doing their own research and reading the study, they are willing to just repeat what others have said. I think it's difficult to provide an accurate picture of a subject if they know almost nothing about it. How many times have you heard a report on a technology story and thought that isn't a correct explanation, or maybe it's not the whole story?
But if your network contains a layer whose linear part performs an (approximate) DFT, you will get an efficiency gain by replacing it with an exact FFT.

You wouldn't want to use an FFT for most CNNs anyway because the kernels have very small support. Convolution with them is O(n) in the spatial domain as long as you recognize the sparsity.

When I'm asked to find some phone or other technology for an elderly relative, I'm always concerned about the usability of devices.

A lot of companies and people don't realy appreciate how much training is really needed to operate even the simplest of mobile phones.

I've not really seen any solutions other than making buttons bigger and reducing menu options, I'm sure these are great for those with deteriorating eyesight, but they aren't really offering anything for a person who has never used a smartphone before.

The real solution has to be usable by someone who has never operated _any_ modern technology - It has to be so simple you could maybe even train a dog to use.

An idea of mine is to have a bank of "walkie talkies" - one for each person you wish to speak to.

And this problem is always growing; my parents haven't retired yet, but even they are struggling to use today's on-demand television. What will happen when digital terrestrial TV is shut down and they have to learn to use whatever new interface is on the successor to the inevitably cancelled Android TV.

Sweden had an abnormally low death rate in 2019; Norway did not. Averaged over the past two years, Sweden's death rate in 2019 and 2020 is just 1.2% above 2018, as compared to Norway's 0.48% below 2018.

It's quite likely that many people who would have died in 2019 in a normal year died in 2020 instead.

>> First and foremost, any system of taxation is about values. And a much higher rate of capital taxation would undermine some of America’s core values.

Is it just me, or taxation is about everyone paying their fair share?
each is small individually, but together they add up to alot
I'll be the odd one out and say that I see nothing wrong with their study. There are much more skillful, much better resourced actors who can do what the UMN did much more discretely.

I mean, the UMN flaws were egregious and blatantly obvious. They should have been met with ridicule at first glance. If they aren't (and they weren't), there are problems that need to be addressed.

But there's a torch mob about this -- a very misled, and I would say foolish torch mob -- and as a result comments like mine will invariably be moderated down to invisible. I guess if we just brigade against some junior researchers it'll help defend the kernel from actually malicious actors...
Sure, but if you actually watched the series you know Ron was full of it when he said that and his coworkers are definitely his friends...
Why can't you apply the nonlinear activation functions in the frequency domain? What's stopping this or making it not work?
FWIW, the paper "Lifting the Veil: The Benefits of Cost Transparency" doesn't mention confounding factors like weather or temperature, only the possibility of revealing labor costs. "Fact checking" this study would require reproducing it, not searching the web.
:eyeroll: I’ll preface that to define what America is, is dumb; if it’s freedom, then let it mean what it wants to mean to individuals. But in the vein of the article, I thought America valued work, not living off of appreciating assets. Especially when values are inflated by massive buy backs funded via tax cuts and loopholes.
I have benefited so much off of capital gains, do I like parting with a lot of it sometimes, no, but I’m happy to pay taxes. It doesn’t mean I don’t scrutinize how they are spent, but this whole article is a prelude to gaslighting.
> During a border dispute in 1969, Russia decided to nuke Beijing because they wouldn't take no for an answer, but the US foolishly told them not to.

Are you trying to tell me that Leonid Brezhnev, in 1969, was going to let Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger dictate foreign policy to him?

> The CCP has already threatened in 2020 to use nukes against the US if the Three Gorges Dam is attacked.

At attack on Three Gorges would be a war crime according to the Geneva Conventions (Protocol I, 1977). The US has not ratified Protocol I, but the PRC has.

In the event of such an attack, what would you consider a reasonable level of retaliation?

I am continuing to be amazed at how much over engineering Airbnb does for ostensibly a cleaner couch surfing broker. Like they don't actually do much even for a travel site, they have so much investment and could have easily disrupted so many different travel related Fields instead they keep over engineering software. Not sure how to feel about it (since we do kinda benefit from their busywork)
I'm not completely sure what exactly you are trying to say, but it seems to me that I somehow deserve some of my personal information being stolen, because someone that also uses DigitalOcean sends you "dodgy packets". What?
I think your own experience isn’t always what others is. I’ve seen lots of people make lasting friendships through meeting at work.

My best friend is someone I met at work 6+ years ago. I’ve got plenty of other people I stay in touch with. Not all relationships need to be everlasting too. Sometimes work relationships are fun and the authenticity is still real. It’s just that now you’re both not working together, you can’t have the same level of a relationship.

Just because things don’t progress once you’re outside the workplace doesn’t mean it’s not real. Sometimes people have different priorities.
Why can’t Linux keep track of parent-child relationships and visualize them when you look at running processes? You could instantly identify this virus. And why can’t Linux apps have a universal and straightforward install directory?
Replacing coreutils used to be a semi-common persistence strategy on Linux, you either swapped out the actual tools or a common library with one that had a hook to start up your RAT or whatever other malicious payload. It had the advantage of almost certainly getting it started very quickly after boot without necessarily leaving anything in an "obvious" place (e.g. cron, profile scripts, etc). I haven't seen this in a while, I would guess the increasing use of antivirus/rootkit detection (these things would be pretty easy to signature) and auditing package managers are both factors.

Actually, last time I saw it the cracker (really a script) had replaced a couple of libraries with 32 bit versions on a 64 bit machine, which lead to most of the coreutils no longer working. Very subtle. 64-bit machines were becoming common by that point but maybe not so much on Linux servers, but still it was a clear sign of low effort!
They'd already complained to UMN about the research, and nothing was done about it. It wasn't just the IRB that allowed it to continue.

I don't want to go back on a daily basis, but I would love to go back twice per month or so (to socialize, mainly).

I don't want to go back because:

- I waste time while commuting (~30min. each day)

- I waste time socializing. Not bad, but hey I would prefer to do it at the bar not at the office and not everyday :)

- I waste time trying to focus. You know, open space office

- I don't feel comfortable in "office" clothes. It's not that I wear a suit or anything, but at home I am: barefoot, I don't wear underwear (I wear pants only!)... I hate wearing shoes and/or socks

- I wast time pretending I can work 8h/day. C'mon, it's 2021, no one (at least in my profession, IT) can say that it's possible to work totally focus 8h/day five days per week. That's BS. I can work fully focused 4h/day and call it a day. At home I don't pretend, so I have more time for myself

- I eat better at home. At home: Healthy snacks, plenty of fruit, small meals. At the office: kinda the same, but I don't get to pick which fruits and the like; besides they are gone fast (I do miss not having to pay for them, tho)
You wouldn't necessarily expect severe adverse effects. But it's both not the framing the vaccine was tested in, and speaks to inconsistency of batches.

I don't think anyone has suggested the Chinese adenovirus vaccine has similar issues?
I've seen you mention it before. At first glance it seems interesting and I definitely agree that having multiple perspectives available to view and explore the model of a complex system is key.

It reminds me of https://structurizr.com/ which builds upon the C4 model for visualizing architecture.

Using these tools successfully is also a question of the goal: are we using them to model and plan up-front or are we visualizing the status quo (for onboarding, change analysis or other purposes). If it's the latter then you need to investigate how to (partly) derive the model from the single source of truth - your code base of applications and infrastructure. Otherwise there is a strong likelyhood of the model diverging from the truth and thus losing its value.
Right. It wouldn't be all that difficult to look at the process list and use heuristics to select a relevant process name.
The question is why those careers earn less money. Your assertion is that the careers men choose are more dangerous, so those careers earn more. My question is, are dangerous careers well paid?

I think Giesecke is wrong when he says that it's too early to say if different measures taken by Finland and Norway changed the situation.

The number of infections clearly changed (with delay) when the measures were taken. That can't be attributed to cultural or geographic differences.

You missed the point about why Biden can't climb a flight of stairs.

Roosevelt wasn't senile, but Biden is, which does matter to leading a nation. This has been widely reported since 2012. Is this news to you? If so, watch his speeches.

(Also, Roosevelt went to great lengths to hide that he couldn't walk, because perceptions.)
And it's not too rare, either. Tests of "supply chain attacks" have actually uploaded sample packages to package repos like NPM and PyPI, and the professional researchers collected bug bounties. Meanwhile the volunteer repo admins often take the blame and have to clean up all the fake packages too. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/02/suppl...

Just to pitch in a suggestion for anyone looking: NTS radio and boiler room both have a huge number of mixes by techno artists - generally speaking I find artists by listening to mixes on NTS and checking the track list and then find mixes by them on boiler room.
I feel like this would be a very easy change for Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) to implement and have support for by default.

But this gets into my similar point where you end up having to use tools like an extension or bot to fix functionality reddit leaves out.

It's gotten pretty annoying for some things already. Old reddit doesn't support polls but in a weird way you can still see it from old reddit like an embedded piece of media.

Overall it's already feeling pretty hacky and I'm sure it's just going to keep getting worse. I've tried to switch to new reddit multiple times and it's just so much slower. I'll admit it "looks" better, but I still get the same functionality but in a more efficient manner on the old reddit. The new reddit just feels slow and bloated.
I used to work with these line-scan photo finish camera systems (we used FinishLynx) timing track meets.

This error is pretty comical to me because aligning the camera is the first thing we do after putting the camera up and looking at their images, it's pretty clear it wasn't aligned properly. The cameras can auto-align, but we didn't trust it and manually aligned it, but I'm wondering if maybe the event organizers auto-aligned and didn't bother to check? The cameras are mounted on a motorized base that can move in 3 dimensions with very fine precision [0]. In the OP, you can see the event organizers have a black line across the finish on a white base. In order to manually align it you just have someone run back and forth across the line and move the camera with the computer until you pick up the very left edge of the black line, which is very clear because you can see the ground change from black to white in the image (or vice versa depending on where you start).

We also used to always put a white piece of wood behind the line so that the images would always have a white background. This makes it so much easier to detect the edge of a torso when clicking on a person to indicate their time. In the OP, if their camera was aligned correctly, red would've been a tough background color. Also a black line is questionable. I would've had a white line on black base for the same reasons.

I really don't understand people's eager desire to condemn capitalism. It's like they think human life would require no resources if we simply abolish capitalism. We'd still need shipping routes even if we lived under global communism.

The Department of Justice is building their master plan for their case against tech monopolies.

Call your representatives and tell them to end "app stores" by device/OS manufacturers. They do far more harm than good.

This is an asymmetric power relationship that is exploitative and allows platforms undue control over the entire industry.
> Was there nobody in the whole group who had reservations?

I've seen very well-intentioned people do very stupid, seemingly callous, etc things that would make anyone who didn't know them question their quality as a human being.

My answer to these kinds of situations has been to remedy it and move on quickly. The more you dwell, the more possibilities and random connections pop in your head, and the easier it is to believe everybody is just a selfish, evil, etc person; which is far from the truth if you've chosen to live life a little.

LGBT marriage, at least in the United States, is a legal definition that need not have any bearing on how 'marriage' is understood in any other context. It came about purely as a legal hack, to address the needs of people who sought some legal acknowledgment of their stable companionship. The existing law and custom provides this wrt. "married" couples, and this was simply extended wholesale by sort-of pretending or establishing by fiat that two people can be 'married' no matter what their gender, as far as the law is concerned. It's a sensible mechanism that has plenty of other uses in law and policy.
Why did the flu also disappear in the states that had effectively no covid restrictions?

This is a serious question and not an attempt at rhetoric. I really am curious. Was flu never a problem in Florida? Was voluntary compliance so widespread that heavy handed government policy had no marginal anti-flu effect? Something else?
What do you mean by "parent-child relationships"?

My father still enjoys clipping coupons and views it as therapeutic. He also enjoys the act of saving a few dollars here and there because it gives him the same dopamine rush that it did when he those dollars were relatively important to his overall net-worth. To many of us, the act of saving money is more exciting than the money itself.

This has never been the doctrine of the Navy, because of the enormous capital expenditures and specialization, even going back to the days of sailing ships.

It never worked out particularly well for the Army, either. Every war in US history before the establishment of a permanent standing army with NATO is a story of a hasty, disorganized clusterfuck for upwards of a year until a semi-professional organization was painfully established, and it's rarely until year two or three that a really effective force could ever be forged out of the tiny cadre of professionals and the mass influx of untrained volunteers or conscripts.
This seems to be the inevitable result with almost any "AI" project involving communication and content generation. "We've created an AI with unlimited possibilities!" the creators proudly proclaim. And then when it explores those possibilities the creators shrink back in terror. The possibility of truly uncensored interactive media like this is still more than most people can handle currently.

But that will change. People forget what a culture shock everyone suddenly having Internet access was, even at 56k. All that information RIGHT THERE, unfiltered by your local community or social circles. Info on science, history, sexuality, culture. And porn. SO MUCH porn.

People got used to it. People will get used to this too. Meanwhile, we need performance improvements ASAP. It's hard to democratize something like GPT-3 when it takes a room of server racks to run it.
On top of the points others in this thread have made, I think this is also a lesson for UX designers. It's really obvious how the Yayagram works and how to use it and this is how our UX should be.
