I've said it a thousand times, all the security in the world will not defend a SCADA system if someone left TeamViewer running somewhere.

Don't mean to pick on TeamViewer. It could be any number of packages, but I think security minded people get an idea of the type of attack vectors I'm talking about.

In fact they have said this publicly in interviews.

Apple doesn’t force you to install operating system upgrades, and many people don’t upgrade if it will break the software they work with.

It is not that there has been a new China since yesterday. I personally see it as part of propaganda western media conveniently pushing (including the rocket story). Interesting days.

Of course China is serious about environment, it affects Chinese people before everyone else. We have been improvements in many ways in China.
I’m not familiar with itch.io; is it actually relevant whether or not itch.io lists adult content, even if itch.io is listed on the Epic store? Apple blocks adult content (as much to my frustration as to one of the top comments on the kotaku article), but I can go into the iOS App Store, download the Amazon app, and see their dildo and porn collections, so it feels like a hypocritical argument on Apple’s part. (I don’t even have to be signed into the Amazon app).
A nice side benefit of Europeans insisting on theirs!
The benefit of this solution is that we don't want to depend on SQL to generate unlimited random numbers: one for each row of the table is a lot of work.

While this approach does have this benefit, it's no longer "random" in the sense that all rows are equally likely to be selected. So, it depends on your purpose as to whether this is an acceptable solution. I don't see any reason to do it in 2D over 1D, except that some of the flaws in the approach are more obscured.

I'm unclear why you can't do traditional gold standard simple random sampling, where you repeatedly generate random numbers and look up the index of those numbers.

The k-NN algorithm should still be at least O(n) (I think?)

Simple random sampling is O(1), with respect to the total number of table rows.

Is the problem that you want exactly three rows, and some numbers will be rejected if you don't re-index? SQL can manage while loops:

Apple Pay on the web has made this very convenient. Being able to buy something with just a single button is amazing. Unfortunately it's not available for large swathes of potential customers since it's iOS/macOS only.

I think the author is wildly confusing her tech background with her age group. Gen Xers outside of tech don't see the internet much differently from younger people.
It's how it has evolved. Journals with good reputations have been taken over gradually since the 1970s by a few larger publishing companies such as Springer, Oxford Journals, Wiley, etc. There are only very few independent journals left in my area. I think it's similar to what the record industry did with record labels. Large publishers did this by luring the journal editors in chief with "free" offers of all kind such as access to editorial systems.

Now for these publishers journals are basically constant cash-cow. Typesetting is done in India (nothing against that) for the lowest possible rate (lots against that). The rest of the work is done by academic volunteers.

The EU has launched a huge open access initiative to the extent that in the future no funding will be available for research published in closed journals, but this doesn't help researchers like me when in their area almost all reputable journals put their articles behind expensive paywall.

You can buy yourself out of this extortion by paying 2000 - 3000 USD per article, but only universities from rich countries can afford it. In a sense, the current situation makes it worse because it increases the imbalance between research in rich and poor countries and sometimes even between privileged and disadvantaged researchers in one and the same country. (For example, some of the researchers at our institute get open access fees paid because they know the right people. The system is not based on merits of the researcher or publication.)

I live and work in Portugal. We have some paid access to a way to small selection of journals. To be honest, I don't even know how to access them from home during Covid times, our IT department doesn't know how to setup a VPN. Even at work it often fails to work, and the accessible journals change from year to year. Everybody uses Sci-Hub for everything anyway.

Without Sci-Hub I could just give up my research - currently on explainable AI, metaethics, nontraditional decision making - and become a waiter.

Every purchase would be coded like they already are with credit cards. You can spend it only on the right category. Good luck trying to launder it when every transaction is logged and easily queryable.

"Government-enforced consumerism" sounds an awful lot better to me than picking winners and losers like in 2008 or massive stimulus that did nothing but boost asset prices like 2020.
Reading the Greats
Not really. Strings are a list of integers [1], integers are signed and fill a system word, but there's also 4 bits of type information. So you can have a 28-bit signed integer char on a 32-bit system or a signed 60-bit integer.

However, since Unicode is limited to 21-bits by utf-16 encoding, a unicode code point will fit in a small integer.

I agree then that in Rust you could make something consistent.

I think there's no need for explicit shifts. You need to memcpy anyway to deal with alignment issues, so you may as well just copy in to the last 3 bytes of a zero-initialized, big endian, 32bit uint.

Funny how the BBC frames people being shot at by the authorities inside a religious building as being “clashes.” And the medics are not being allowed through to treat the wounded and injured.

Central banks have a lot of control over the money supply, but the current system doesn't allow for direct, low-friction control over individual's bank accounts or give the government a perfectly transparent view into your transactions.

Digital currencies promise a future where the government has immediate, perfectly ubiquitous veto power over every transaction, and can adjust interest rates at an individual level.

I for one don’t want to see all that crap in app stores when I’m browsing for something, and I don’t want my kids seeing that stuff... it has nothing to do with being “LGBTQ utopia”. It’s simple called good taste.

Same reason when I turn on the TV I don’t want to be assaulted with this stuff.

We’ve all decided long ago that the way forward with free speech is to categorize, and rate content... movie, tv ratings, preview ratings, etc. By having proper channels and places for certain content free speech is actually extend.

I’m thankful Apple tries hard to make the App Store a place of quality. So let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water by forcing stores to be completely open un moderated spaces in the name of more competition.

Edit: People are missing the point here. The issue is about intent. Browsers and Amazon apps are not app stores. So having those available doesn’t point to intent to allow specific types of content on an app platform.

Something like this is so sorely needed.

I've been doing some work in ag-tech for the past few years (having previously worked in ISP/telco, general SME web/mobile development, then consumer travel tech).

The tools available to farmers/growers for what should be quite basic things - i.e., web-connected weather stations and monitoring systems for soil moisture, frost alarms and irrigation control are terrible.

The industry is full of small players who take a look and think "I know how to build stuff with [Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Zigbee etc], I can build an ag-tech monitoring/control product easily".

So everyone builds a hardware product from scratch, then as a quick afterthought, a web app with an SQL database and Highcharts to show data graphs. You have an MVP within a few months, then a few paying customers in your local community, then suddenly your customers start asking for features you'd never thought of, like sensor inputs you didn't know existed, or combined displays of different kinds of data you'd never considered anyone would want, or needing it to be faster (SQL turns out to be really slow for this kind of data) or more reliable (bugfixing is hard when your devices are hundreds of miles away and connected via weak 3G/4G data links), and you realise your hardware and software architecture doesn't support any of this, and you'd have to completely start over to actually deliver something that customers really need, but you're out of money and energy.

The result is a lot of farmers/growers dissatisfied/frustrated at never being able to get the monitoring systems they need (some of them having tried 3+ different vendors), and a lot of new companies trying to build new solutions and going bust.

I've been thinking there needs to be some widely accepted open standards in the industry for hardware and software platforms, so solutions providers can avoid trying to re-invent everything and instead focus on integration of tried-and-true building blocks.

If this initiative brings that about, it would be a big win for everyone in the industry.
I’m not sure what commenter means by PR stunt but it is interesting that this company had a massive (and massively under-reported) pipeline leak scandal in the past year. I imagine Colonial is still managing that crisis and now have this new one to deal with. If they’re needing to do repairs or assessments for the earlier pipeline leaks now might be an opportunity to do so under a different headline which can blame an external adversary instead of themselves.

Both are correct.

The state of computer security is unacceptable and needs to be fixed. Today its profit-motivated extortionists, but anything they can do is also an option for spy agencies, and is it really that hard to imagine anti-oil activists pulling the same stunt some day?

On the other hand, crypto is the thing behind the profit motive. If crypto is impractical (if there were no way to convert it to real currency), the profit incentives for these attacks (and mining, for that matter) break down.

I realize this isn't a popular opinion around here, but we should probably do both.
Not sure it'll do much about news videos - Google seems to force the same presumably hand-picked selection of news videos onto everyone's front page, generally covering the kind of political topics tech workers think everyone should hear about.

Reddit has some explicit content. How on earth is this relevant to the question of abusing a dominant market position which is what case is about. Is Apple arguing we can commercially abuse our partners and customers because we save you from porn? Seriously?
It was realistic enough to make them expect that their keyboard shortcut would close the window. It wasn't realistic enough to actually do that. So the visual UI was too realistic for them to not have that expectation, but the behaviour was not realistic enough for it to fulfil the expectation.

I spent a time period living by myself in the South, and I didn't have the same supper every night, but certainly followed the same algorithm: Buy whatever veggies look nice that week, some meat, and tortillas or rice. My lunch was similarly algorithmic: Sandwich and a piece of fruit. Breakfast: Oatmeal.

Having family members who get sick of things changes that. There are certain of my favorites that are now off limits because I made them too many times in a row. Those things have to wait until they're all out of town for some reason. ;-)

Population decline is a really serious ailment. It makes for an eternally shrinking economy and a death-spiral, as the value and prosperity of the place decays YoY.

Less people means less demand, means less businesses, less jobs, less tax revenue, etc.

It is reversible, by changing expectations of the future, to prevent people from leaving and to attract new people, but a few years of shrinking population would make the spiral very hard to revert.
> I think there is a split between commercialized EDM and "real" EDM.

This could be a locale thing, but in the UK what you call "real" EDM is often known as the underground electronic music scene (at least in my circles). I.e. the long tail of folks pissing about with machines in their bedroom.

Note the lack of "dance" as not all underground electronic music needs to be danced to. Autechre is a good example of this.

In the UK at least, EDM as a whole is often viewed as a commercialisation that started over in the USA (e.g. with Skrillex) and spread. What the EDM term generally refers to has changed over the years, and is now closer to "pop trance with super saw synths EVERYWHERE" these days.

So, at least for us Brits, it's a catch all term for a specific type of electronic music (and most of the time a disparaging term).

I think we mostly agree on the differing content, and in disagreeing with the parent, but it's the general "lumping in" with the same terminology that is often protested by the underground folks over here.

Personally, I would hate for my tracks to be called EDM (I'd rather stab myself repeatedly in the eye with a spoon).

Disclaimer: I'm just one UK dude who has spent a lot of time around electronic music. Other UK residents may have other opinions or nomenclature that they prefer to use.
People often do behave as though new ideas, or changing their minds, is a threat. They make ideas part of their identity.

They're still available in newer forms[1]. Its manufacturer, GlobalScale, is more an ODM for plug computers and provides reference devices.

That's very interesting. Today I learned.
If you want quality randomness you can always do some equivalent of ORDER BY RAND() as long as you get a new RAND() for each row.

I've Googled around but didn't find anything about this trick:

You can calculate a score and do something like ORDER BY RAND() * score to bias towards certain rows. This could be useful, e.g. you want to randomly show your most profitable items. The kNN method seems harder to generalize.

2. A ton of confidential third party data leaking.

3. Sony refusing cross platform play because it wouldn't earn them money directly meanwhile they were claiming it was for technical reasons.

4. Tim Sweeney going off on a weird tangent trying to claim Fornite is a "metaverse" and not a game.

5. Judge getting annoyed with all the requests to seal records from a ton of companies.

6. Epic lawyer saying he wants a record sealed because he doesn't want to leak that Paradox is doing a deal with Epic. And Apple lawyer pointing out he just made his request pointless.

7. Epic paid so far 1 billion USD to convince devs to not sell in competitor stores.

8. Epic tried to convince Nintendo to sell on Epic Store (lol)

9. Apple lawyer pointing out that Epic bans rule breakers, and Epic broke rules.

Classical is either all of Western art music or a particular style within that body whose original heyday was between that of Baroque and Romantic; creating a third definition doesn’t aid in communication.

I agree MOND results aren't that great now. But Kopernik's results weren't that great either, compared to standard theory. They gave less precise results initially. It took time for the astronomers to accept them.

Yes, we need to ban math. Math is the root of cryptography; which is the root of cryptocurrency. Ultimately it’s numbers. They are the worst. Everything bad comes from the interaction of points on elliptic curves.

They charge shitloads of money to universities for accessing their journals, these fees are so high that e.g. our university is very picky about which "packet" they buy and limit them to institutions on a case-by-case basis.

The copies on the author's pages and in open repositories are obliged to be pre-publication drafts, so you cannot cite them.

In fact, under control of large publishers journals have become fairly inventive about making pre-publication manuscripts unusable. For instance, I recently published in a prestigious journal that had an online editing system so that all final revisions stayed in the system - no author copy of any kind, every proof marked with author name and large watermarks -, and they made lots of small, sometimes unnecessary changes in the very last editing step. They also don't paginate the final versions that are published online first, so you can only know the real final pagination a year or so after the first version has been published online.
