Hardware key is offline device, phones are online devices. While phones might have arguably quite good security, their attack surface is many times bigger than offline device that you keep with you. There is almost no way for remote attacker to gain access to offline device (though local attacker will likely have easier time getting that than phone). With phone it comes more down to cost/luck (pay/develop 0days until you have full chain).
I haven't written cobol since late 90s-early 2k...

But my experiences were just the opposite. If you need to write accounting software, COBOL is a pretty painless way to do it. Add in something like automatic copybooks from DDL in file metadata (like the OS/400 supported) and it was great never having to worry about people forgetting to update record layouts.

the result was you could knock out your typical accounting stuff fairly quickly..

While I agree that it's not really 3 times, I still think that it's useful to use that description when talking about games that do this, to be explicit that the "New game plus" option is integral to finishing the game.

I don't care for Glenn too much but he's better than a lot of the other crappy grifters out there like the tool in the thread you linked to.
Where do you draw the line between animals and plants? Plants are a form of life. Is it the pain? What is it about animal pain that is morally objectionable? Because humans can feel pain too, therefore animal pain is also bad? Assuming we grant that, what if animals were put to sleep before being killed? Does that then make it okay? I find the whole "violence against animals" argument to be incredibly hand-wavy and without substance.
Most shooters, probably not. But sometimes I wonder if Arma 2 and Arma 3 teach players some real world military skills. The company behind these games (Bohemia Interactive) also works on simulations for the defense industry and it's clear that they applied this experience to Arma 2 and Arma 3.

I heard that the US army used to train Bradley crews using an Arma 2 mod. From playing the game, I can see how this would be viable. In most games, tanks are just programmed to be easy for one player to control. However, in Arma 3 a tank has a commander, gunner and a driver like an actual tank. So it teaches you the absolute basics about how a real life tank crew is supposed to work.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like my experience at all (which is limited to this one place). If anything, the burgers I like are less dry and less chewy than the beef-based competition.

Academia was crucial in the adoption of UNIX and C, because in the early days UNIX was free beer (AT&T tried to fix that afterwards), so a juicy alternative to paying for Multics, MVS...

That also made UNIX an ideal teaching device for OS programming classes versus the toy OSes developed by students.

Well, until AT&T forbade the circulation of UNIX V6 commented book.

If we abstract away the specific actors/motivations, this reminds me a bit of the Oumuamua debate. "Man made" and "natural" are both very broad theories that admit many details and are thus hard to falsify. But I wonder to what degree we agree about:

(1) Which category (if either) has an advantage by Occam's razor?
(2) Which category (if either) is more easily falsifiable? (Meaning easier to determine improbable, since it is hard to falsify them entirely)

For me, I see neither having an advantage on (1), but on (2) there are a finite number of relevant, well-known lab techniques that could be investigated.

I would never write "to our surprise" in a paper. Rather, it would be "Surprisingly, ..." which fits the pattern of "Thus, ...", "Furthermore, ...", "In contrast, ..." etc, which is a nice and compact way of making the structure of an argument clearer.

You can be sure that the rightwing press aren't engaging in this kind of reflection, however flawed.

Privacy is the liability of those who collect data and share it in a form of dataset not of those who search for datasets or who crawl them.
Exactly, and concerning your last paragraph since nobody seems responsible (and who is able to write such a rebuttal) it isn’t done.
This is a problem because sometimes it can harm the information sphere around this, which is already loaded in camps and so on. Especially when it comes to China which has a questionable track record on sharing information which doesn’t paint them in a good light.

> My impression of Glenn Greenwald is that he is either paranoid, or willing to stoke his readers' paranoia in order to attract attention.

Maybe it’s both

Glenn has good reason to be paranoid. As someone who read his work for years, I’d say that within the past couple of years his writings have become more and more delusional. He left The Intercept over a fact-checking spat in which his editors were in the right, but he claimed censorship. The issue was over Joe Biden’s son, so a big step down from privacy, surveillance, and the work he did before.
It does seem like a dangerous way to get your kids to grow up expecting never to be able to achieve anything in life, so why bother.
【Prediction】Improving User Retention in Three Ways-Huawei Developers
That’s journalism today. I read an article about the voting changes in Texas.

“Massive backwards move in voting rights”. Wow! This sounds bad. So I search the article for what changed (so I can judge for myself). A few paragraphs about the civil right battles of the 60’s. A few more paragraphs about attempts to stop the new law. Ok...one sentence with vague comments about the changes - harder to do absentee ballots (how?) and you limits on helping people vote (like what?). Ok. Well those could be good or bad, depends on the details, right?

Well I finished the article and I still don’t know what these changes are or whether they are bad, because a 10 page news article didn’t explicitly say what they are.

And I’m not arguing the newspaper is wrong in their conclusion. But I read the news to be educated, not force fed opinions.

A better approach would be - explicitly lay out what the changes are (quoting the law is good!), then interview people from both sides on their viewpoints. I’m smart enough to understand the changes and determine which side is right. Hell, maybe both sides are kind of right? Crazy I know.
They matter because the inevitable lawsuits can/will point to the multitude in support of NN and demand the FCC explain why they decided against keeping it. They’re not just a bureaucratic hoop to jump through; they actually have to consider and weigh them all. A reason of “it’s ‘Obama era’ regulations that we don’t need” isn’t enough. “It’s bad for economic growth” would require them to explain how.

Obviously, one that just says “** you Ajit” or whatever doesn’t need to be considered, but ones voicing concerns or similar have to be.
I wouldn't like to be severed by a drug. I prefer my body to stay in one piece, thank you.

But I agree that doctors don't need advertisement. Just publish a technical magazine 2 to 4 times a year with a technical description of the drugs available and let the doctors make the call.
Appreciate the response. I wasn't trying to say this is grep, I fully understand that this is an inverted index which is way more interesting to build on top of S3.

I merely wanted to say that by using S3 within AWS you always have the fallback option of brute-force "grep" across your semi-structured "data lake" or whatever it's called thanks to the aggregate bandwidth and Athena.

Why couldn't it have been transported into the city on trucks and vehicles coming from sampling sites? Or hitchhiked in bat guano on a worker's boot who visited the wet market?

You've generated 2 possible outcomes and gone "yes these are the only possibilities". But why? There was a whole train of transportation bringing things into the city for the lab.

Of course, if it was from that timeline, then the whole "lab escape" thing becomes a bit problematic doesn't it? Because, why would it need to be by activities of the lab specifically? It wouldn't - coz it could really just have rode in on anything. Which would of course mean that actually, it's probably way more likely that a virus which can infect humans, starting out in the wild, and being sample by a lab, probably infected a bunch of humans anyway because it didn't stop being in the wild when it was collected by researchers...
Employee count, internal policies and (negative) brand perception are factors that come to mind.
There might be much better alternative but it really depends on the nature of your key.

Because the crux of S3 is the latency you can also decide to encode the docs in blocks, and retrieve more data than is actually needed.

For this demo, the index from DocID to offset in S3 takes 1.2 bytes per doc.

I think most people are confused because of CCP’s successful disinformation campaign, and also out of fear of being seen as prejudiced.
The fact is that an epidemic with a corona virus (never before or since seen in the wild) with a peculiarly efficient ability to infect humans started in the _only city in the world with a lab where gain-of-function experiments on corona viruses_ is located.
Just apply occam’s razor, and then you are done.

Guy Raz makes a good point in the How I Built This episode with the Clubhouse founders. You can have a really interesting conversation with someone but that conversation doesn’t necessarily make good radio that’s interesting to others.

So much of that catalog would be gurus repeating the same stuff over and over again. It would be so hard to sort through all of it to the find interesting parts.

I think it’s wonderfully interesting to be pulled into the conversations of people I look up to because it feels genuine. But once the masses join the platform, everything becomes so curated to specific topics that it loses the magic. It isn’t any better than a badly produced podcast or blog.

If you're going to create a new ARPA, don't forget to put strict limits on the tenure of your PMs, and high expectations on the outcomes of their projects. This will ensure the usual DARPA program has unreasonable and unachievable schedules. For bonus points make sure your PMs treat their performing contractors as disposable.

I've worked several programs for DARPA and do not recommend it. The roughly 5 year maximum tenure of a PM there forces ridiculous schedules which culminate in a project that is passed on to the next PM to take the role. The new PM is busy with her own ideas and is completely uninterested in the old one's project. It's not that satisfying to work for these guys despite the fading cachet of their name.

I'll concede that they occasionally do real journalism, but they also publish falsehoods and they either don't retract/correct at all or quietly edit published articles.

Most estimates of greenhouse gas emissions are misleading. Cows might emit methane and co2, but that carbon came from their food, and that carbon in their food was captured from the air, so it's actually a cycle without net increase in carbon in the air. That's unlike fossil fuels, which bring carbon from the ground into the air and actually increase the carbon in the air in the process. The only real net emissions in the process of creating beef are the fossil fuels burned in the process, from transportation.

This distinction between real carbon emission, and carbon cycle is important because there's misguided notion of how much of a real difference it would make if people stopped eating meat. The decrease in emissions will be offset by a decrease in carbon capture from their food, and the net difference will be much less than assumed.

Moreover, if the process of creating meat replacements requires more fossil fuels to be burned than the natural process of growing food and feeding cattle, it might be that alternative meats are detrimental to the environment. I haven't seen a fair comparison of the net emissions of the whole process, they always count the cows farts without discounting for the carbon capture while growing their food.
Well... What's the difference compared to C? f(x) can also do anything, including side-effects, changing mutable state, etc. Worse if it's a macro.

From what I understand grain used for animal feed is of a poorer quality and can't be used to make bread. And so it's essentially a waste product (usually because of rain just before a harvest).
