Whether they're actually wrong depends on how you interpret what they wrote. Maybe they aren't talking about the winning probability (which indeed is 99%) but, literally what they wrote, the odd of one of two remaining doors being the right one. This will explain why they took this modified problem rather explaining the common one in full. If that is then it's still not good because they passed the interesting part.
Sorry but you misquoted me. Siri Shortcuts isn’t Siri.

It’s the iOS automation tool, and the context was controlling the car via the app in lieu of directly in their app, which isn’t something you do while driving.
> To a true privacy zealot — someone for whom any ads targeting is an ethical disaster — would this new privacy configuration of “First Party = Good, Third Party = Bad” be acceptable?

Is anyone truly this zealous? I don't care if Amazon wants to advertise power tools to me because they've observed that I often search for powertools on amazon.com. On the contrary, that's precisely the ad targeting that I appreciate and would encourage.

True but 1) he's hardly going to code it himself and 2) he's fundamentally not a details or follow-through person. Promises, bluster and threats are his forte. That and bankruptcies.
I think TeamNZ were talking about supercavitation for next foils so speeds can go well over 100km/h in next few years.
We can be imaginative and declare that the whole universe has "states", and those states are different. The whole universe encodes states - without anything in the universe required to exist. For example, "laws" of universe depend on states.

Frankly, we are not required to have time there.
When I have visited the US I have been mystified by the way sales taxes work. The prices on labels exclude tax, but the percentage changes depending on where I go (or what I buy?).
It surprises me that residents tolerate that.

“How much is it?” would seem a simple question.
Amazon Sidewalk has a huge radius, so many people's neighbors likely have these devices. So if _any_ of your devices talk to them, you have no control even if you don't have an amazon device.

I own amazon devices (none that have sidewalk) but if my neighbors came to me and told me to remove them for their privacy. I'd probably laugh them to the door. I live in a building with 500 units, and its almost 100% chance that i'm within sidewalk range (I also live near to the alexa office in seattle so there's that too).

Point is: You can't control your neighbors.

Not everyone can afford to or wants to move to the middle of no where such that their neighbors are out of radio distance.
The newly added Chrome tab search widget definitely makes it easier to search and switch tabs, but it is still very much limited to just active tabs.

UnTab can search through tabs, history, bookmarks (as long as permission is given), and can also help in performing common browser actions quickly without leaving the keyboard.
Along with this, the Plugins API that I'm building for UnTab is fairly powerful at this stage and would allow the community to add other useful actions and tools to the extension that I couldn't think of on my own.

Yes, I am trying to reduce the requested permissions to the point where the user allows the necessary permissions for some feature of UnTab to run if they need it.

"can read and modify data on all pages" particularly cannot be removed as that is what allows UnTab search interface to show up on the pages.
network communication is again mainly for showing instant answers from DuckDuckGo searches which can be enabled if user needs it.

Will keep an eye out on other permissions if they can be minimized.
> $9,000 for a used car gets you the safety improvements, but perhaps not the new car reliability

I'm not convinced of that. Reliability has definitely been trending upwards. 100k miles used to be considered a high-mileage car, but now a car model that didn't regularly make it to that distance would be considered defective.
Just to play devil's advocate, what would the world look like had there been massive investment 5-10 years ago? The benefits would probably have been a chip shortage that wasn't and we'd be free to complain about other things.
Unless the hitman has decided to retire, it's probably only a matter of time before they catch him using good old fashioned detective work. For instance, investigators might be able to catch the hitman in a sting operation, if they know what marketplace the hitman sells his services on.
Yep. In a small, scrappy business, people that can kickstart an effort are highly coveted. When you couple that with great ideation... priceless.

Hi all -- founder of RezScore, free automated scoring tool. Have spent about a decade studying the subject.

1. Brevity: Keep it concise, under 800 words. Every extra word is a bullet they can kill you with if they're on the fence.
2. Impact: Use a readability score (ie Fleisch-Kincaid, any built into Word) to keep the reading score equivalent of ~11th grade. They're smart but not geniuses.
3. Depth: Keep your sentences short, under 20 words per sentence is good rule of thumb. Reward their laziness.

Other useful tips...
* Use a large professional headline (ie LinkedIn), swap out just this part for each job you're applying
* Prune out responsibilities, only talk about achievements
* Lots of numbers
* Pay attention to aesthetics/formatting

Don't obsess about perfection -- devise a system to crank out 10 copies a day and you'll iterate it into a job in no time. At any rate, if you're applying resume first you're doing it wrong, everybody getting the plum jobs networks their way in, resume is a formality.

Always happy to hear about your job search and provide specific resume feedback, email us at hey AT rezscore.com
I'm curious about the results under the section titled "Demonstration."

The author claims that ground truth is that each goroutine utilizes 10% of the CPU time (so stipulated that this should be the case). But, what if the results shown are accurate, i.e. that the results are the actual CPU time (because of idiosyncrasies of scheduling between the OS, the go runtime, and anything else happening on that system).

Does running the new profiler show less variance in the results from that initial experiment? Showing this result would strengthen the claim that the "out of the box" solution is inaccurate.
Rust tuples are on the stack, to have them on the heap you need to explicitly use Box.

Funnily enough, internally this is how closures parameters are represented internally, as a single argument that is a tuple of all its parameters.

I want to help the less fortunate. I don't think our Reaganomics style tax structure where the rich pay less taxes is going to support UBI.

If we just throw out our existing tax policy and replace it with something less complicated and fair then we don't need UBI.

When I'd studied physics, they thought the duration of a collapsar jump was exactly zero. But a couple of centuries later, they did a complicated wave-guide experiment that proved the jump actually lasted some small fraction of a nanosecond. Doesn't seem like much, but they'd had to rebuild physics from the foundation up when the collapsar jump was first discovered; they had to rear the whole damned thing down again when they found out it took time to get from A to B. Physicists were still arguing about it.

They did indeed. They developed the cavities to deal with the huge size they attained, but that tech came in handy millions of years later when they/some reprofiled to flight.
I've always felt an always listening radio, especially the ones in televisions that try to connect to anything it can, in any device is a big gaping security hole. We've already seen how Bluetooth makes things vulnerable. If you're truly worried about security, go with the cable.
I think you’re on the right track about it being more fragile with a hole. Probably with wear and tear over time it might break apart. Much easier for Apple to “outsource” responsibility of attaching it to things and dealing with durability concerns.
Unless I'm mistaken, he's being warned of being tracked by the AirTag beeping when moved, and displaying information on any NFC capable device (such as most Android phones).
>this is obviously by design. You get the alert if the tag is planted on your person/vehicle and following you around, not if it happens to be sitting still in a location that you frequent.

So, if some guy hides it in your bag at the airport, with the intention of finding where you live, and you get to your home within the same day, you wont be notified about it for many days, or possibly months, if you leave your bag stationary at home.

Doesn't sound like a very good design.

>because other residents of an apartment building also own AirTags

How about just showing you a single alert (or stationary info page you could check optionally) "Airtag that's not yours travels with you, still here"?

You could then ignore it at public transport (where you expect others with airtags to be travelling along), but you could start getting suspicious if you still get that a "foreign airtag that travelled with you is still nearby" when you're at your home.

Inflation is actively managed by the Fed, they can simply constrain supply of money. There's almost no world in which this doesn't happen anyways, given the macroeconomic climate.
If you're going to go to that much trouble, at that point it would be easier to use one of the countless pre-existing GPS trackers on the market[1] (which don't have such privacy-aware features) to stalk a victim.

When I see the former intelligence officials mugging on the news, I can't help but think that their vanity compromised them and their former organizations and wonder how hard it was for adversaries to install their agents in our institutions merely by using guys like them who were so susceptible to being seduced by flattery. It's as though bringing down the Iron Curtain was a masterstroke that unleashed the entire culture of centralized bureaucratic authoritarianism and party elitism into western institutions like universities, NGOs, public service, law, unions, and international orgs.

The greatest trick they played was convincing us they didn't exist.

Comparing salaries isn't easy. Europeans get more vacation, more sick days, other (better?) Health care, retirement funds, unemployment insurance ... also they eventually pay less rent etc.

Compering this objectively ain't easy.
1) Where would you put it, there are already TONS of options for wifi / bluetooth / audio etc. This is where I would expect it.

2) You can just disable this stuff when you first get your phone it walks you through these prompts there. If you don't enable it - it is not enabled.

3) Spam should be opt-in - most people don't want it. But a lot of Apple stuff should be opt-out, because people do want it. Ie, turn on GPS / location features - folks really want weather, maps with turn by turn etc. Apple already over prompts on setup for my tastes.
I have experience with party rounds. There are tradeoffs between them and rounds with a traditional lead. The problem is that the advantage of the party round is early, while the advantage of the traditional round comes later. (That dynamic leads to many perverse outcomes in different situations, because we all discount the future to some extent.)

The early advantage of a party round is that you can raise it at all. If you go for a traditional round with a lead investor, then everybody is waiting for a lead, twiddling their thumbs, hoping someone else will do DD, but maybe that someone never comes... The power is in the hand of the potential leads to say yes or no. That's a bad position to be in as a founder, and can lead to acute disappointments and wasted time during those periods when your startup is hot.

With a party round, the founder can put pressure on investors and create scarcity. A stream of checks comes in, and ironically, the more you raise as the party round progresses, the more people start offering you bigger and bigger, lead-size, checks. (This tactic should be combined with "moving the goal posts", or expanding the size of your round so there is always just enough left to be desirable, but so much that it is daunting. No one wants to the be the first money in, but many will compete to get the last slice.)

That is: Party rounds are a very effective way to create momentum in fund-raising and put the power in founders' hands.

But then you have the money, and you don't always have any single investor who is highly committed to you. I have also experienced this.

You should not underestimate the support that a skilled, experienced and committed investor can bring you. The problem is, most founders don't always know who those investors are, and there are a limited number of boards that they will choose to sit on.
I'm of the opinion that these issues are no one's business but the folks involved with Babel. Taking this situation to Twitter is childish, and speaks volumes about the author and their interpersonal skills (or their desire to try and tilt the scales for their new startup or whatever).

Given that, your comment seems incredibly unnecessary, and pretty disrespectful to someone you call your friend. It adds very little to the discussion while revealing personal details about the person and their life situation that no one here needs to be privy to.

I'm struggling to see the motivation for sharing this publicly. Surely if your intention was to communicate those last few sentences to Henry, you could have have done so directly?
Possibly hedging their bets. If China invades and conquers Taiwan, presumably the heads of TSMC would be able to flee to America and keep a chunk of their investments.
My comment was that you don’t need to worry about hiring wrong idea person because you should not hire them at all.

As for execution person objective criteria exists, and it’s possible to evaluate performance, either at the hiring stage or soon afterwards. Evaluating idea person objectively in a short period of time is way harder.
They are doing something -- forming a lobby group to get the government to pay for it. That's much cheaper than actually paying for it themselves.
Very high level. I really liked gigastacey/staceyoniot's coverage[1][2].

One of the key torments of this new industrial-supergroup's project, quoting staceyoniot:

> The CSA is also focused on releasing as much as it can as open-source code, which strikes me as somewhat incongruous with the fact that to see or vote on the developing standard, companies had to pay to join the CSA and the Matter working group. However, the code is all available on Github, and anyone will be able to see it and download it for their applications and devices.

The world doesn't deserve better than a ubiquotous & pervasive world of computing devices all around us that we don't know how to talk to, don't know how to communicate with, can't see the standards for: we NEED to do better.

The ongoing war against general purpose computing never happened in IoT, because IoT seemingly has never had any pretense of including the users in any way except as end user consumers. It's entirely the bastion of the enemy, and Connectivity Standards Alliance is continuing this campaign against the user, against our rights, against readability, against understandability, against the Enlightenment project itself. More IoT that keeps us in the dark. Enough!

well a government agent would just attach a real tracking device with cellular that does live realtime updates lol - and anyone who wants to track someone has far better options then airtags: https://www.amazon.ca/Real-time-Worldwide-Coverage-Portable-... or https://www.amazon.ca/Real-time-Worldwide-Coverage-Portable-...

these have existed for a long time at reasonable prices and none of the have the anti stalking measures airtags do.

We will update the book, but only after the changes are finalized :)
I am neither an expert nor familiar with US constitutional law, but in most other countries the federal power trumps the power of any states/provinces and is not limited by a single clause and helps simplify and remove any disparities in taxation policy. As far as property taxes are concerned, most countries retain the policy to keep the local councils empowered to decide tax rates albeit "within the rate limits and fairness criteria imposed by the states and federal governments". In my country property taxes cannot be made zero/low or made exceptionally high by a showoff city council trying to get reelected for whatever reason as this causes unnecessary migration between cities/towns for no practical reason other than to skirt taxes with no practical systemic benefit to the populace at whole.
So Internet was demonized at first, saying it allowed pedophiles to share child pornography with impunity from their home. Then we learned that internet allowed to catch more pedophiles than ever.

Looks like this scheme finally applied to bitcoin. It was very easy to predict though.
One simple way to avoid hackers breaching your home security camera: Don't have one.

Another way: Hardwire it. And store data locally, not in the cloud.
Right, and these companies are more than capable of running on a week to week or day to day basis (they already do this in the markets they test in).

Do you feel similarly about making cities bike-friendly?
Items 2 and 3 will increase massively as people who don't know what they're doing attempt to cover their butts.
I agree, but think there's still ways to remain truly anonymous if you have the technical ability.

Why do you think ransomware groups always accept bitcoin?
I think the government just needs to change incentives so that companies stop offshoring everything. Tariffs are much maligned for increasing costs for consumers, but that seems like the most efficient way for getting companies to make stuff here.

Instead of corporate welfare like these rich companies clearly want, why don’t we take the tariff money and use that to fund regular welfare, such as some of the programs Biden is suggesting.

Or maybe we could just take all the tariff money and divide it equally amongst all citizens? That should offset the tariff for the average person, while still allowing us to get companies to figure out the problem for themselves.

That approach can be extended to taxes on pollution as well. Capitalism does work, and we need to recognize that, but it has to be guided and regulated appropriately, or it gets really greedy really fast.
It says something about a refund when bought in the last 60 days. Does that mean I’d buy it now I’d be able to get my money back and still have access to the app?

Seeing as there is a risk it might not work within a few months that isn’t that bad of a deal I guess.
No, it isn't, if a service is properly secured and does not sell it's data then there is no reason to think this. Please stop spreading FUD like this, it only makes people think that privacy is impossible.

Even if you are talking about dragnet collection and you assume that for example NSA can store all traffic on the internet (which is basically impossible) in Utah (or wherever) for future decryption with post-quantum cryptography there is no reason to believe that they would make it public. And that is basically the worst case scenario.

Privacy fatalism helps no-one.

Maybe my grandchildren will somehow have better luck than I did. Archive.org doesn't have several forums I used to post on. I'd like to get copies of my old posts, but gave up on that years ago. I did manage to track down the owner of one of the forums, but he had no backups.

"Everything stays on the internet forever" is a good cautionary principle, but isn't a strict reality.
Have you actually used the tile network to successfully recover something? I was big on tile a few years ago, but they didn't help me find two things that were lost. Just not enough of a network. I'm hopeful AirTags will work better.

But a scientific theory can have well-defined implications about unobservable things. One example is “if you send a photon past the cosmological horizon, does it suddenly cease to exist?”, which (assuming conservation of energy) would be false.
I was pretty sad when they banned it here in India. TikTok had become really popular among poorer people somehow. The income and class gaps in India mean that you don’t often get to know how the rural poor really live - TikTok was rare a window into that life. Helped me understand and empathize deeply.

The new replacements for it just don’t have the same vibe.
Sadly on point. Some additions to your list of skills, from my exp.:

Austria[0] and Germany[1, edit: this seems to only be true for Bavaria and Berlin, see comments below] have mandated the use of FFP2 masks since the end of January. Their neighboring countries didn't[2].

If you look at the data, there does not appear to be a decrease in infection numbers relative to their neighbors after the switch to FFP2[3].
