I don't know about betting on it, but the type before identifier syntax has always been a pet peeve of mine, and so I'd never willingly use java if I have a choice. And null handling. Fuck Java's ridiculously verbose and error prone null handling.
JavaScript had something close, valid on the context level, with "use strict" (which is, I guess, borrowed from Perl), and I still don't understand why they don't repeat that for newer features that would be much simpler if they broke backwards compatibility.
I'm very fond of H-Mart. I've been grocery shopping at H-Mart stores since I've been within driving distance of them. The produce is fresh, affordable, and diverse. The stores are very well managed. Of all the stores I've gone to since the pandemic, H-Mart has managed crowds and public health the best. They've been very responsible.

If you're interested in Korean cooking, I recommend watching Maangchi's youtube channel cooking show: https://www.youtube.com/user/Maangchi

Maangchi teaches traditional recipes in a clear and concise fashion. One of my favorite recipes is Jjolmyeon, which is a chewy noodle with spicy sauce that is loaded with vegetables.
`!` is binary negation for integers. `return x` is an expression that can be used in place of any type because it will never be used.

If you made 1000+% holding on to crypto (and not selling at any earlier point in time), you're presumably a crypto bull, right?

It eliminates your exposure at the cost of ~25-35% (depending on where you live and potentially up to ~45% if Biden's plan passes), so it only makes sense if you're certain that the market will drop by more than that.
The Mueller investigation didn't find hard proof that Trump et al. conspired with Russia because there was plenty of perjury and obstruction. When a investigation is limited by politics and vague policies, you can't blame the investigator. Mueller declared in his public hearing that he would have indicted Trump, if he wasn't president.

The fact that the Senate committee (led by the Republicans) also found plenty of connections between the Russia government and the Trump campaign says enough.

Ya, owning several ecommerce sites there is nothing on this site that says if you would be even interested.

I think some details on what you are looking for (even from a broad sense, like what category, do you allow single product dropshipping, shopify, custom application, etc).

Also there is tons of ecommerce sites on websites like flippa and others, why not look there?
Hmm, should they likewise look into J Kerry meeting with foreign diplomats whilst not being in the then current administration too?
Matrix might be the great hope for decentralised comms.
Yes, I would guess that in Brazilian portuguese the expression "jogos de azar" comes from this original meaning of the word "azar", as randomness. But the isolated word "azar" took on the specific meaning of "bad luck", which kind of leaked to how one would interpret "jogos de azar" around here.

Manufacturers don't necessarily have to rotate the keys on older devices; they could rotate the keys on newer devices such that it's difficult to reliably tell what batch/generation a newer device is from, because it could be using a newer or older key.

Such behavior would require some way of revoking old keys from newer devices to prevent a situation where a compromised and blacklisted old key is selected and causes the CAPTCHA to fail, seemingly at random.
How easy will this thing be to mass manufacture? The batteries "use nanotechnology to insert aluminum atoms inside tiny perforations in graphene planes", which sounds like pretty sophisticated processing.

That said, nearly everything else sounds very promising... just like all the other extremely promising battery R&D press releases. Let's hope this one's for real.

We are conflating things here, since the architecture of IRC and Matrix are not the same.
Since due to the federated nature each room will be different - like it is in Jabber.

I am not talking about talking to my friends (since that's already solved with a private irc network), but for random people on rather large public rooms, where everyone will be isolated to their homeserver without manual configuration (granted.. since we have some big homeservers like matrix.org probably they'll able to continue chatting in the room).

Edit: Turns out I misremembered the federation algorithm from the spec - seems like it is indeed currently full-mesh and not a directed graph so I retract my remark.

This “throw random links I found” argument strategy is not very good. I strongly recommend reading the stuff before posting as your “source”.

That paper is exactly what I’m talking about - a revisionism attempt by a right-wing professor trying to frame what happened under a completely different light. It presents an hypothesis with little backing, but yeah, now you can point to the paper itself…
Mine still has the lag with 'game mode'. It is just a quirk of the thing I bought 10 years ago. It could also be like some of the other commenters are saying maybe the HDMI port I have it does not have the low latency bit but maybe 1 of the 4 does. Have to check again. It was not really a big deal as that is not really the use case for my TV. Which was watching movies :)

No one deserves racial discrimination or hatred.

Politically, I am sympathetic to anyone would want to put as much distance
between themselves and the CCP, Chinese or not. It is hard to speak about the CCP without saying "the Chinese" and immediately sounding racist when the comment has nothing to do with race. That is the problem with overloaded terms.

Also, no one was saying things about Japan that they are saying about the CCP. There was great fear about the economic power of Japan. In terms of human rights and influence and military and pollution and human rights, the narrative was completely different.

I keep hearing claims about breaking up these large tech companies, but how do you envision that should or would look like? Do you know of any good resources where I could read up more on the topic?

Notice that borrowing != trading on margin, you can certainly buy back into the asset, but you can also do lots of other things with the money. You can be careful with your borrowing, like the example I gave, in that case, Bitcoin would need to drop by 50% before that person get's liquidated and even if that happens, they still have the 82M$ in cash.

Making scraping harder definitely reduces scraping. Some bad actors will get through, but others will be deterred.

I think you might not understand that it's site owners like me who want to stop scraping. It usually comes from specific bad incidents, like copycat sites stealing our content and work.

Cloudflare wouldn't block scraping if website owners didn't want it. And website owners can easily disable this protection.
Fair for whom always needs to be discussed when talking about fairness.
I personally like the sales tax idea, or even a flat tax - in the sense that everyone pays the same without all the loops holes, deductions, exemptions, that exist to gain corporate favor, buy votes, or push agendas.

The problem with both of those is it isn't fair for some, specifically folks in the lower income brackets.
Cloudflare support has been exceptional to me as a website owner.
My conclusion on this whole debacle is: Do not allow uncontrolled migration with countries that are much poorer with much lower wages than you.

This may or may not sound common sense but to me that is the root cause of it all.

Before 2004, when the first and main batch of Eastern European countries joined the EU no one really cared about free movement: It was all within Western Europe and did not create problems.

Then, literally millions of Eastern Europeans moved to the UK and that created social, cultural, and economical problems and the people impacted were shocked to be told that there was absolutely nothing the government could do. The rest, as they say, is history.
The point of a microaggression is that it's part of the constant pressure of not being part of the "dominant race". You can't do a microaggression to a white person because there's no hierarchy where you're above them to reassert.

You prosecute the ad companies that are complicit and assist them in their endeavors. The scammer himself might be out of reach of US law enforcement, but Google which is promoting their scams (and getting paid for it) is definitely not.

I think you're entirely wrong. I doubt the hackers realized quite what they had hacked, and by the time they did realize, they were probably shaking in their boots.

My guess is they lowballed - $5m is considerably less than other payments I have seen them take before for a much bigger catch.

The Moral Foundations of Progress
There is no way for a business to determine if someone is vaccinated or not when enforcing whether people wear masks or not.
Snapshots, RAID, etc are not substitutes for backups
The intent of attestation is that a business could decide, OK, we think FooCorp are doing a proper job and we trust their FIDO tokens, but we don't like all these dozens of cheap alternatives. So for our corporate site we'll require FooCorp tokens, and we'll just issue every employee a FooCorp token on our dime.

Maybe it could make sense for a bank to do this, sending account holders a special custom Security Key with the bank's branding on it. I personally think that's stupid, but I can imagine it appealing to bank executives and it's not so stupid as to be worse than SMS or TOTP 2FA that banks do today.

But it clearly isn't relevant for no-cost services like Facebook or Gmail, and so sure enough you can just tell them you don't want to give them attestation and they work anyway (I don't know if either of them ask, I just reflexively deny attestation if it's requested).

It isn't intended to be useful for trying to do stuff like Cloudflare are attempting here. Which doesn't mean Cloudflare can't succeed in their goals, but in the FIDO threat models a "bad actor" would be a whole vendor, maybe some outfit is using fixed long term secret keys inside their Security Key products and they just sell the NSA a list of those keys - you might decide to just refuse all the products from this vendor. Whereas for Cloudflare the "bad actor" they're worried about just buys a half dozen of whatever was cheapest from eBay and then plugs them into a Raspberry Pi.

Or, do they? That's the gamble I think Cloudflare is taking. Maybe the value of defeating this intervention is so low that bad guys will not, in fact, build a Raspberry Pi Security Key clicker proxy to make their thing work.

This is just spitballing, but I would think the number of hate crime committers is far more important than the number of potential hate crime victims. There's likely to be far more potential victims than actual victims in any given locale. Of course there's going to be some confounding effects here.

edit: that is, adding one violent white nationalist will increase anti asian violence far more than adding one asian person.
Most matter in deep space is individual ions, atoms, or molecules, so has no well-defined phase. Then there's solid dust particles which are made of all sorts of stuff including silicates, organic compounds, and ices of different elements.
That interference principle seems like a function of the size of the blobs and then how you manage the interference patterns of multiple oscilators. Mind you, if you can physically do it with audio synths, you can model it in software, which means we should be able to use ML via a GAN to grind through oscillator patterns to create the necessary pulse effect results.

Maybe more fun for a toy or a game.

I'm not sure what you mean by mirroring rooms - rooms don't have any one particular home or special server, they exist across all participating servers always and automatically.

I've never experienced what you're describing with the homeserver getting stuck while it did something, though I have had Element Android time out and seemingly not notice for a while & keep spinning, but that was the client's fault, not the server. My best guess is that whatever you experienced did get fixed!
That is my understanding of what they did.

"Scala 3 takes a slightly different approach [from Scala 2] and focuses on intent rather than mechanism. Instead of offering one very powerful feature, Scala 3 offers multiple tailored language features, allowing programmers to directly express their intent"

So rather than something like implicits, that can be used N different ways, only 2 of which are practical, Scala 3 adds those 2 features explicitly.
Large institutions aren't solving their security problems by hiring a small clutch of FreeBSD elves.

They're hiring consultants to confirm that they've met the requirements of some checklist, which requirements may include "have a plan to fix this obvious problem.... someday. You do? OK, then you're fine". That's much cheaper and is 100% management-class controlled.
About the only way at this point is to find as much free power as possible. Failing that, $0.07 seems to be about what hydro costs. But going any where near there, you'll find other miners and MSFT and AMZN and Google are already there.

> we ... expect them to earn their seat at Coinbase.

So, I'm working someplace, I'm always under threat of termination and have to prove, repeatedly, that my seat shouldn't be taken from under me.

Of course, the owners of coinbase don't have to earn their seats every year, or any year, right?

At this point I would make a derisive comment about Capitalism, but to be honest - the company's business is financial speculation with made-up currency, so I guess that's to be expected.
In the case of covid - it would have happened everywhere else. So they would just have looked incredible le smart.

But with IT stuff, yeah it’s tough to justify - but maybe after things like this happen it will be easier. Sometimes you need a Pearl harbour to get stuff done!
I think you substantially underestimate how much these ransomware companies make once they've gained access.

If they've gained access, they'll just do their normal thing and then right as s they're doing it empty out the wallets. $1000 is not going to deter them from a multi million payday
Employees can put in notice and be gone if something they don't like is going on. C-level mostly not. There is a lot less job openings for C-levels...

When you are simple employee it is still better to get your paycheck and invest on your own in other companies. As a IC level employee mostly you can invest your paycheck freely. C-level guy before buying some stocks/investing probably has to go via lawyers/legal so he also is has lot less options for diversification of his investments.

You are also making such statement looking at successful companies, there are loads of companies and C-level people who were invested for life in it and company went under.

If you are IC you should get market rate salary, don't settle for less, invest it in other places. I don't accept equity as a compensation, I want market rate salary and the rest I will handle myself.

Let investors keep their risk, I don't want any of that, because you know not every company is successful.

Kotlin becomes the default on Android, more people are writing Kotlin, there's more pressure on Java to adopt the best Kotlin features.

What is Israel's role in the end times?
A car going 30 km/h clears the 30m blast radius of a 900kg bomb in about three seconds, and the 340m fragmentation radius in about 40 seconds.

This means that to hit a moving target at Mach 9 (or about 3 km/s) you need to launch your 11m long rocket within either 9 or 120 km depending on the desired probability for a kill.

As a reference, an aircraft carrier can go over 50 km/h, the Chinese hypersonic weapons go about 1.7 km/s and have a range of at least 1000 km. How does that work out you wonder? Simple, they put nukes on their hypersonic missiles.
Yeap. No 1:1s or in-person performance reviews, there's no bizword cliché ships sailing together, climbing of career mountains, 360 feedback, or anything else cohesive or supportive.

Pretty hilarious to see all these comments from people who have no idea what they are talking about.

Thinking $5m is a "high" ransom, thinking that there is no way they would send a decryption binary rather than a key.

Why don't you just actually research how these schemes function before commenting? The team that did this has a pretty consistent MO and five million was a massive discount.
Meanwhile Vice puts random unrelated links and even videos all over the article.
I'm not very knowledgeable with how compilers or language standards work, but would there not be security implications with this approach?

For example let's say a security exploit surfaces in the 2015 edition of Rust, would that not mean all the libraries declared as 2015 edition would have to be updated or abandoned in that case?

Or now that I think about it, is it instead the case that a whole program including all dependencies will be compiled by the same compiler (of which newer editions will have the latest security fixes), just that the compiler will always have to support compiling programs using legacy syntax when it identifies the crate's edition?

Very good points. I would add these as well.

There is another facet to all of this. Money. Just plain old money. It takes time and money to buy and maintain this sort of software.

The 'hobbyist' also has plenty of time and access to the tools. Whereas an org may only have so much budget for it. Which in effect restricts time to do it, and or how many people you can pay to do it. Also depending on the org you may not even have access to the correct tools and documentation.

From a pure user 'end point' usage the security stuff is either in the way or 'just works'. Fixing security is background and does not get you anything new. So it often gets forgotten or downgraded in a budget game for something more shiny as the user lets out their inner verruca salt.
An underappreciated aspect of programming that is taught well and consistently in the context of writing is the need for iteration. Never publish something without rereading it first. Anything longer than an email, you should have a break between writing a first draft and taking a second look at it. Murder your darlings: learn to recognize things that you're proud of for the wrong reasons, things that other people won't appreciate, and throw them in the trash. The harder something is to write, the worse your first draft is likely to be, and the less likely you are to immediately recognize it when you finish.
At some point in time, some portion of popular culture deemed “black” as a descriptor of people with certain skin tones and cultural background in the US was derogative and pushed for switching to “African American”, even though it can cause confusion.
