In their minds, they probably are. Why can't the whole world have a singular word to address the second party, as in English, but require multiple levels of deference? I suspect the reasons are related: they're communication patterns that are hard to dispel. And as long as there's no need, people simply keep them up.
Mostly. But it still seems (to me) that people have the expectation that it provides utility of some sort first and marketing second.

I'm unsure how other platforms being identical in that regard moderates the statement. I still feel a reminder is helpful.

I suppose it’s being downvoted because it looks like diversion tactics to draw attention away from what’s actually being discussed, especially considering their other comment making a false assessment of the linked article, as pointed out by throwaway24006.

Disclosure: not related to that other throwaway account in any way. Using a throwaway because I don’t want to drag my main account into ugly topics like this.
And if it passes, next steps...
In general that's certainly possible, but I don't think it is in this case. My girlfriend and I were pretty relaxed late last summer (a couple months after she got sick) to early winter when we had low case count, but after that we became very careful again when the cases got high. Since then we've both been very careful.

Her job has just been a bit of a cesspool of cases. It just keeps going around and around and eventually it got her too.
Rowhammer does not really happen in real life scenarios, because if you access the same block of memory multiple times it usually gets cached in L1, L2 or L3 cache. You really have to try to induce such a magnetic field in RAM. The things you're referring to are probably from other sources of random bit flips, such as cosmic radiation.
This is an article from Aboriginal Peoples Television Network, a Canadian channel. While I understand the issue with context, they're writing to their audience of 1) Canadians who probably already know about residential schools as its in the news frequently and taught in schools and 2) aboriginals who most certain know about the horrors inflicted by the government of their people, many of which are still alive today.
Likewise. I've black-holed all the linked in e-mails to their own folder. And are there ever a lot when I glance in there (currently).
Sounds somewhat similar to linkedom[1], which performs nicely.

No. iMessage has the low entry barrier of SMS, but has features like a real chat app. SMS is not an iMessage replacement. Instead you have to get everyone you message with to change to something like WhatsApp.
It's the faux-thentic trope pieces on LinkedIn that annoy me. "I was working so hard I forgot to be me" or "after years of constant success my daughter showed me what success really means". Apparently it means getting likes from strangers.

And then there's the business tall tales: "I hired a guy with no qualifications other than a big heart and now he's running a multinational". "I made 10k job applications and landed my dream job. You can too".

I think the reason is alluded to in the article: it's not polite to call out BS, and if you do the work involved is OOM larger than creating it.
Exactly. At some point ie. reviews were great until they became (black?) market themselves.

Sounds like you ought to start with yourself, to be frank.
> Their whole point is "we won't give you real money because we don't trust you to not misuse it."

Their whole point is to ensure the money gets used on what it was intended for.

People don't want the "money for the poor" food stamps being used to give the wealthiest citizens a small discount on their Ferrari - which means you then have to start means-testing. In OP's original point, you might be able to give everyone food stamps to basic rice for example without means-testing (because the rich aren't going to worry about going out of their way to pick up a packet of cheap rice).
Best yet is to fund measures to minimize disruptions and to help manage the economic meltdown caused by pandemics. And plan accordingly. The world was utterly unprepared to deal with a pandemic. Once we were somewhat better equiped with knowledge (ie. aerosols in closed spaces), procedures (widespread testing, ventilation, etc) and equipment (masks, ICU beds) the economy could function much closer to (a new) normal. But even today, if it weren't for vaccines, we would not be remotely close to where we are now, at least in some countries. A lot of the measures implemented were useless, including tech (ie phones), which failed to be of real service tracking contacts and infections.

Once enacted, countries or regions that don't abide to my wishful set of international rules on pandemic measures will be isolated or excluded by the community. Money otherwise would flow to implement measures everywhere and keep the world economy going at a good pace.

Here's a review on what I consider a great investment for these financial aids, making air filtering/ventilation and CO2 control ubiquitous:

Also the economy would had suffered a lot less if there was a predictable schedule on how restrictions and, even stricter, lockdowns were applied according to some economists.

I'm a smirker also. It has the unfortunate side effect of standing out in photos, where I envy people with their full smiles.

When you think about it though, a full teethy smile is a weird thing.
Lately, every time I read something like this, I think: if you build/maintain a system where such behavior is possible or even incentivized, you will get more of the same behavior.

If you want this to change, at the very minimum, crooks in leadership positions need to be socially outcast, given a harsh prison sentence, their wealth confiscated and their legacies dismantled. Essentially, there need to be consequences. They need to lose what they care most about: their status, freedom and wealth.

From there, give them a clean slate to work on earning our trust again, to rehabilitate, the hard way. You know, like every convicted criminal should have the chance to.
>I suspect in "American", "how are you" is often a request for actionable information. Your Russian friend took the question as an absolute, was confused why the doctor was asking a question with an obvious answer, and proceeded to give a reply which communicated no new information to the doctor.

This situation is a very common standup joke here in Russia since like the 70s or 80s when some of our movie or theater stars were in the US (or some other 'capitalistic' country) and were constantly asked 'how are you' in a hallway.

> ... which hinges completely on the virus not evolving at all, which is outside of the realm of reality.

This makes no sense.

If you only only target the spike, you assume the spike doesn't change sufficiently. If you target the entire virus, you assume the entire virus doesn't change sufficiently. As far as I know, mutations are generally assumed to be random. You're effectively matching against a shorter string (spike only), so you're less likely to recognize a mutated virus, than if you match against a longer string (the entire virus) which is what natural immunity targets.

Mutations in the spike (that still keep it effective - and we actually have quite a few of these already) are much more likely to evade the vaccine-induced immunity than they are likely to evade natural immunity.

Mutations only in the nucleocapsid are more likely to evade natural immunity than vaccine-induced immunity, but to a lesser degree - because natural immunity also targets the spike.

Every time I try to use Twitter to follow interesting companies I get annoyed and quit because of the same garbage. I've been thinking it's an age thing, where people with better eyesight than me or who grew up looking at low SNR information like that can filter through it more easily. They need to put ads and suggestions and such nonsense off to the side and attract your eye by being worth looking at, not inline pretending to be part of your desired info feed.
The default mode is unrelated to curation. Curation allows you to opt into a different mode, but it doesn’t change the default mode.
As others have mentioned, you are quickly going to end up with government paying $5 per banana. And you'd have to add more administration to take care of allergies, religious requirements and similar.

With money, you decentralise all that and let people save on their own, and spend on the most needed items (maybe they just need fuel to drop off by their parents having a farm?).
That would be cool to build a bike that can navigate paved trails autonomously and take it out at night when nobody is around.
MLC SSD, Sorry for being unclear, googling it is difficult as they were never released to non DC providers (these are custom for oracle) so data sheets are hard to get (I only have partial data, rest is from the sas inquiry and mode pages). You can deduce some of the specs from the name as they are the same for all hgst drives:

HUS - hgst uktrastar standard

MH - MLC high endurance (4PB is claimed for the 200GB drives, verified this by looking at the lifetime counter and the bytes written)

4020 - max spec 400gb, device is 200gb

A - generation

S - 2.5" formfactor

S2 - 12GB/s (sas3), dual port

1 - probably means custom spec all my hgst former netapp/sun/oracle drives have this set to 1 both SSD and hdd

0 - crypto sanetize

Haven't seen them a lot on eBay last month but caching drives with low percentage writes do show up from time to time in batches.
There is one thing that I find fascinating and depressing at the same time - the belief that the uber rich got there with hard work and ethics alone, and that anyone can do it too, if only they work hard.

It is the belief that they themselves will get rich someday, that makes voters support (at least not oppose) all kinds of laws that benefit only the rich, often at the expense of everyone else.

I don’t know if this delusion is everywhere, but it certainly is in the U.S
Right up there with truck ones. We got one who drives by our house every night at around 9:30 and it's so freaking loud the windows shake.

Thats right, we should blame the victim for trusting the tool.

Password managers are increasingly mandated by organisations, and Lastpass is a very common recommendation. Even in the minority of technical users that use this kind of tool I expect small mistakes - like accidentally pasting a password in a URL. A good tool doesn't let you shoot yourself in the foot by escalting that to a non-obvious leak. The password length being wrong is 100% on the tool. Th weak master password and the duplicates are again, things the tool shouldn't do - it claims to give good quality security reports.

With respect to Lastpass specifically, I dislike the tool immensely. Ive had to use it a number of times and have always found its UX significantly buggy - included blatant failures like not saving passwords with no indication; coupled with the acquisition by LogMeIn and I'm incredibly distrustful.

Blind would be great if it didn't attract and retain the most toxic and reactive folks (in my brief experience). That attribute makes it an undesirable place to be for someone who's well adjusted at their job, which I would say undercuts your assertion that it provides a more accurate view of the workplace. A counterbalance to the polished view you'd get through LinkedIn? Sure. But it's where people go to talk shit.
Too short passwords being generated sounds like an issue that IMO violates user expectations, the other two do not.
Hi-viz doesn't work though. I use to look like a walking highlighter, I might as well have been invisible. Put on aftermarket exhaust and people know I'm there. The difference in behaviour was crazy.

Who uses iMessage? I mean, I never seen one using it seriously. All my friends and family members uses WhatsApp (that has more or less the same problems, but at least you can export a conversation in a text file, or now import it in Telegram), and Telegram is nowadays used by all the young people.

This is probably due to the fact that in my country the majority of people has Android phones, and thus even who has an iPhone uses the same app that uses with people with Android to chat with other Apple users.

“I Was Certain, But I Was Wrong” (2000)
Though ECC is a must in DDR5 spec. We still need a physical version of ASLR to mitigate this. Ideally, we can make Rowhammer even not practical for Denial of Service. For example, running a full-speed attack for an hour only has a 0.01% chance to flip a bit.

Is that less sensationalist? It seems they're reporting exactly the same things just using different types of recorded data. Neither article attempts to speculate on what kind of object might be capable of causing such data, nor who might control it.

> The problem isn't RowHammer, the problem is lack of ECC. This is mostly Intel's fault, as they cripple their consumer CPU lines to disable ECC for market segmentation purposes.

Whilst Intel did play a part, when they offered it as standard the uptake in the consumer market was low and the price factor and need at most consumer level was not there.

Today it is there, though the consumer mindset is unaware of it and I do foresee a time in which either some in-the-wild exploit that makes media traction and they roll with it event. Then there will be a sudden panic rush with media rhetoric akin to the run-up to Y2K and drama headlines how everybody needs to buy a new computer. Now if that happened - Intel on the desktop would sure take a wack as it is currently.

Then the whole supply and demand aspect that factors into the cost and alas - until there is some mass consumer awareness.

Well, until then for the majority consumers, computer memory is just computer memory and for most of those, they don't even look into things like memory speed or dual-channel memory even. Which see's your DELL's et all selling systems with one large stick of RAM even today as your average consumer just don't know any better. So the move to ECC for consumers will need en event or large player marketing it. Maybe a balance of the two.

Just the aspect of size of memory today in computers, let alone density and speeds, bit errors become far more likely and that is without the security aspects at play. So for stability alone ECC is becoming more and more justifiable.
Why would I be kidding about any Windows installation I ever used? I was on a computer with a CPU measured in the low hundreds of megahertz and RAM measured in the low hundreds of megabytes. It was paging like crazy trying to do anything non-trivial.

Perhaps, judging by the downvotes of the grandparent comment some folks thought I was casting aspersions on Windows 2000 itself.
This looks very different. What I like: bold design, articulating rear, battery compartment actually looks good.

What I am curious about is how it actually rides. The photos and demos all look like they are out of a Boston Dynamics demo, less like they are for a bike you actually get on.

What I don’t like: this thing will be ugly as sin once you make it street legal. Also lack of fenders (which is how you avoid getting mud all over your legs and back).

As a cruiser fan, I can appreciate fast nimble sport bikes, but also can’t wait for someone to come up with an electric equivalent to the R18 or the Honda Rune.
Load Balancing 101
I noticed that people on more powerful bikes crash way more often for their own lack of driving skill, than the other way around.

Lost count to seeing scenes like kids on H2Rs "crashing" into something at like just above pedestrian speeds.

It takes a lot of skill to drive a powerful, and heavy motorcycle. It's definitely should not be your first, or even second machine.

I'm myself on two-wheelers for 15 years still feeling that I am about to fly off a seat even on a relatively tame 300CC scooter.
Reasons why i don't feel Slack is a true alternative to emails is that with emails you can print it out and validate the nature of the conversation (BCC ftw by the way).
With Slack, any person can just in time edit the message which can lead to really crazy situations, given they are rare, but still semantics is what makes win argumens sometimes.

UPD: any messaging platform that forbids editing is the closes to what we have with formal converations.
Don’t follow companies. Follow people. Also I recommend using an ad-free client even though they are hard to find I have learned.
Why on earth would you exclude non-white Americans from your demographic comparisons? That's the very definition of cherry picking. Your argument about non-white Americans being all recent immigrants is just plain wrong. 13% of people living in the US are immigrants and 40% of Americans are Non-white or Hispanic. Many Black, Hispanic and Asian American families have been in the country for centuries. And of course Native Americans have been here for thousands of years.

Poland has more average years in education, a higher high-school graduation rate, higher PSIA scores. More Poles get tertiary degrees, 44%, a full 10% higher than the USA. 7/10 of those degrees are masters level. And by the way, no one needs to go into hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt for their degrees.

I have no idea where you got that talking point about no net economic expansion since 2008. Poland's inflation adjusted GDP is one of the fastest growing in Europe, all while its population is dropping due to low birthrates and net migration to the rest of Europe. Its life expectancy is one year lower than the USA, which is already one year lower than the OECD average, but at least you can't be bankrupted by your medical bills.

Rich Americans have it great. The best schools in the world, enormous houses, new cars, the best cutting edge medicine, and extremely high paying jobs that build products the whole world uses, and a government and social system that always works to maintain and magnify that advantage.

Things are nowhere near as rosy when you look at how the other half lives and they can't be just excluded from the comparison as "non-white".
I read through this entire gist, and I was not able to find a single section categorically proving that Monero is unsafe. It makes big claims such as "Monero has been broken." and "Monero is substantially unsafe and incapable of providing anonymity [...]", but then at the end the very same paper says the following:

"Monero is the best-in-class anonymous cryptocurrency in production today."

What the hell is it trying to say then?

From what I've been able to gather from this gist, its argument that Monero is "unsafe" hinges on the extra sentence: "under the formal threat model proposed and analyzed in this paper". Curiously, section 8, "Analysis Under Full Threat Model", is completely blank. And it also curiously never properly defines the "full threat model"

From what I gather however, its main argument is that 10 decoys (in RingCT) is too few and there could be probabilistic attacks and the some of the decoys could be malicious actors. The Monero developers already know this however, and are working on Triptych and Arcturus [1] to fix this. Note that this doesn't mean that Monero is 0% safe (as the gist likes to pretend by writing stuff like "Monero has been broken"), but it rather means that Monero is 80-90% safe rather than 100% safe. And if you're that worried, the Monero wallet offers the option for churning [2]

Lastly, the gist is more than 3 years old now, without a single update to it. Does the author not know that in 3 years there could be lots of upgrades and fixes to Monero? The fact that the largest Dark Net Market is now using Monero only surely should be an indication that Monero is doing something right?

People who go to HR over this...

I am French and I work in China with a lot of Indians. It's been interesting for everyone to say the least. I swear and speak my mind way too much for a corporate Indian, so much that when I spoke frankly to someone higher than me telling him his process was useless and was going double our wasted time for really only the appearance of regulatory compliance, all he could say was ... thank you. He d never met a younger subaltern resist a stupid idea in India before, in public :D

And of course it's neither our faults: in a French company we spend maybe more time fighting each other than doing the work, while in India they double their wasteful process every 2 weeks to a point they all do their job well but produce nothing at all :D

Which is then completely blown by the screen anyways? It's not like you're tearing up complicated calculations on your watch. This makes sense on other devices but not so much on a watch. My Garmin lasts a week with the screen always on, several hours of GPS on and music playing during workouts. The most draining thing is music.
Feynman used to think about the problem before doing anything, so his neighbor asked him why he wasn't working on the radio but standing there staring off into space. After Feynman fixed his radio, his neighbor told everyone in amazement "He fixes radios by thinking!" You could take this to mean he thinks about the problem first, but I think the neighbor (this was in late 1920's, early 1930's) meant that he was was amazed because Feynman appeared to reach into the radio with his mind to fix it.
You are correct, I've amended by comment.
