Nope, maybe a 2% drop in prices from the peak, rent still crazy expensive and not falling, once the government remove rent freezes, it will go up again. Anecdotally a few non Irish techies are leaving but it won't be enough to affect house prices and there are 10k people waiting to buy behind them.

Can you design an experiment which detects whether a black box contains intellectual property?

If physics cannot detect it, how real is, it, really?

If it's just a social construct, then it's only real to the extent that people agree that it's real, and it's real only to those people who agree.
the difference is not just the regulations and risk tolerance.

it's also a regression in skills, culture, accountability, and urgency.

I understand having to do some grunt work sometimes. But is there any benefit to doing months of business logic specific work that is purely mappings, adjusting logic, etc?

I work at a bank and I've been doing it for a few months and feel like I'm stressed out without much to show. I assume my team/manager should recognize the big contribution, but I doubt.

Mostly just tons of back and forth with the BA about tweaking different transformation logic etc. Not much actual engineering or designing anything. How do you leverage the grunt work to do less of it?

I do way more than other similarly ranked people on my team.
I think for a politician, the best way to counter bad press is with good press. Give interviews to sympathetic journalists. And if nobody in town cares to write sympathetic things about you, then maybe think about amending your behavior.

In September of 2020, around me all of the private schools were open for in person learning 5 days a week, all of the public schools were online only.

Later in the school year, public schools moved to a modal of 1/2 the class being in person and 1/2 the class being online for any given day except for Monday where all students were online only.

Finally, a few weeks before the end of the year, public schools allowed all students to return to class for the entire week.

Private schools did not see major outbreaks of Covid. Teachers at private schools were no more likely to get Covid than the general population.

This generation of kids will pay a heavy price for these school shutdowns.
Agreed.

My initial reaction to the headline I read was anger that an officer got away with abusing his power. But upon learning the details, it's clear that a CFAA violation is an inappropriate charge here.
My uni offers both a one-year MSc SE, and a two-year MSc CS. For organisational reasons, the 2 yr program is basically SE+MSc Information Science.

Students can pick their final subject; there is no difference in subjects between the two programmes, though we obviously expect some difference in result. After all, you should show some proficiency in both masters if you're doing the 2yr programme.

I'm currently supervising a student (SE) on file recovery, to whom I'll definitely forward the link. It's right up his project's alley.

Side remark: had he been enrolled in the 2yr programme, the subject would have been the same. I'd just expect him to extend his current work with a research question towards information science.
I love more charging stations, but I agree with this skepticism,
7-11 tend to be very quick stops ? If 7-11 builds chargers at my nearest location, I'll occupy them happily and walk home while charging. And perhaps I'll enter 7-11 on the drop-off or pick-up trip ?

I have a plug-in hybrid (Volt) and live in an apartment complex without chargers, and I use the abundant shopping mall chargers at Valley Fair mall in San Jose, CA as you describe. I live close enough to walk home 1 mile from the mall, so I'll drop car off, then go into mall to pickup a meal at the nice food court or browse around.
Probably as 7-11 hopes: I'll readily spend $10-$15 on food, while charging $5.

My unique fit here is that Valley Fair is an urban mall: it's close to my apartment in healthy walking distance, and it has dense multi-level parking structures, so I'm not walking out and back through a vast mall parking lot.

Movie theaters in malls map well to charging stations because of the 2 hour duration you are inside, for when people go inside movie theaters again ($AMC?)
Offices and workplace charging work well for me too (when not WFH)
They’re unlit traffic lights. Would you rather the car slam on the brakes?

But seriously, I’m inclined to be charitable here and assume that this is merely a quirk of the UI display. There’s no evidence that the autopilot did anything unsafe (apparently it wasn’t even engaged?), and until I see evidence of that I’m willing to withhold judgment. (I have seen evidence of other situations where Tesla autopilot did unsafe things and I’m in no way apologetic about those situations.)
i agree with the gist of your comment, but the us government will never allow boeing to truly implode.
"Wasserschutzgebiet" is a big one, any local attorney could have informed him and probably did. Since you ask, yes, this is a high-level cock-up. If Elon Musk was unaware, which I can't believe, then the Tesla outfit has bigger problems.

Musk really screwed the pooch here, committing who-knows-how-much money for for his Berlin site, even going ahead with construction, without understanding local land-use restrictions. That sort of investment isn't made unless top brass signs off on it.

Musk has a documented habit of disregarding law and order. Remember that occasion where he crash-landed a rocket at Boca Chica, and FAA complained because explosions and human habitations nearby aren't really compatible, and demanded a safety review? He took to Twitter, launched anyway, despite a stop-work order, and that rocket crash-landed as well.
There seem to be two categories of gas stations; the ones where you fill up and go, with a minor convenience store attached, and the larger ones where they seem to want you hanging around.

With the first category, I imagine they just don't want people hanging around. The dollars per car per hour ratio drops off a cliff when you have EVs just sitting there for 15-40 minutes clogging up the limited space.

As I stated in the beginning I do not work with Clojure. Pure functions is something I use in any programming language. I have a hands on experience from a lot of different functional languages though including F#. From what I understand it is very common to use context based style of coding in Clojure. That is at least what I heard and Google does not seem to disagree...

I thought being a solution in search of problem was perhaps too charitable. Every joule we waste on hashes is another gram of carbon in the air. And it is all waste — the only problem cryptocoins solve better than other solutions is illicit transactions. It’s not even close to as anonymous as cash.

Coinage used to be more portable in the days of precious metal coins. But honestly I’ve had very little barriers in converting cash. It’s a solved problem.

Sure. But laws for dealing with legitimate threats sometimes get co-opted to also deal with extraneous matters.
I have dabbled in Clojure and Julia, and both of them support macro to make it easier to develop DSL looking syntax. I have always wondered how difficult it it to debug macro heavy code - where's other language cite 'no macro' as a feature such as Zig.

I remember reading many years ago that US gov said it reserves the right to physically go after cyber attackers, ie: kill the hackers behind the hack.

Coincidentally I was talking about that time that Tom Petty toured in the 80s using the confederate flag and then many years later he apologized for doing it, no more than an hour ago with a friend of mine

More details here

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/w...

People do change and also understand when they do «downright stupid things», but we have to give them a chance to arrive at that point.

If the post is still online, like the videos and photos of Tom Petty's 1985 tour, that could also be interpreted as a sign of honesty, it's also possible that the author forgot that he wrote it.

I write a lot of things that I don't remember soon after.

It happens to code as well, sometimes I ask myself «who's the genius that wrote this beautiful code» and I'm shocked when I find out it was me years ago, but most of the times I regret writing it.
The title (breaking veracrypt) is misleading (and probably a click bait).

Any mounted encrypted data has keys in RAM or an HSM. If you have access to inside of those, you have access to keys. This is not breaking anything.

You can encrypt or obfuscate data in RAM, but then the keys should be stored in disk, ram or HSM, which is subject to the same problem. Actually, TPM/secure enclave merely binds the key to the device, and doesn’t help with key extraction, since it trusts the root, unless you set a PIN, which makes automated access impractical, or a max number of trials.

I liked some posts in this blog, particularly the one on synology which turned out to be consequential, but I think the authors should title their posts more modestly.

—————————————————-

VeraCrypt FAQ answers a question on root privilege, reading RAM and support for TPM:

“No. Those programs use TPM to protect against attacks that require the attacker to have administrator privileges, or physical access to the computer, and the attacker needs you to use the computer after such an access. However, if any of these conditions is met, it is actually impossible to secure the computer (see below) and, therefore, you must stop using it (instead of relying on TPM).

If the attacker has administrator privileges, he can, for example, reset the TPM, capture the content of RAM (containing master keys) or content of files stored on mounted VeraCrypt volumes (decrypted on the fly), which can then be sent to the attacker over the Internet or saved to an unencrypted local drive (from which the attacker might be able to read it later, when he gains physical access to the computer).”
I was adding to your comment, not continuing the argument.

I went through the page and I just don't see why this is a big deal.

Now I can certainly understand something like calling the other side the "Know Nothings" when their actual name is the "Native American Party". But all I see here is getting the grammar slightly wrong. Especially because the term 'Democrat(s)' is acceptable when talking about party membership.

The "Publican" hypothetical is just that, because no one actually uses that term. But you're welcome to. I likewise do not consider calling the Republican Party the GOP to be a derisive epithet. Or an individual to be a GOP'er. Again, there is no real life direct parallel that works in this situation.
Not all electric cars are 80k Tesla units.

In Europe, they recently launched a ShitEV called Dacia Spring. You can buy it in Germany for around $14000 [0]. The world has enough room, and will have enough EVs in time, for regular charging stations for regular people, or even "standard hangout figures" ... we won't all be driving hype.

> That's trespass, not computer fraud.

Why is that trespassing? There's no sign that says I can't go behind the counter? In fact, in many cases you can go behind the counter, just you aren't expected to jump on their computer. The problem isn't that I'm behind the counter. The problem is that I'm using a computer I'm not authorized to use -- it's just whoever set up the computer didn't set up an authorization gateway.

But really access to the computer really isn't fraud. It's what you do once your at the computer that matters much more. Its authorization for the action that matter, not access authorization.
But does this specific anecdote generalize to, for example, learning a language and then trying to learn linear algebra? I feel that was the point the GP was meaning to bring up. Languages are fundamentally similar to one another in many ways, so I would imagine there is less you can transfer to learning something where the framework of language-learning no longer applies.
That’s what “discrepancy” means.

"When you dig back through US history, you see plenty of evidence of both a belief system that whites are the best"

I'm referring to the criminal justice system today. Is there reason to think it's more pro-White than pro-Asian or pro-Hindu?

I only see evidence that the system today is anti-Black and anti-poor.

I accept the historical examples you've given of pro-white attitudes, but I'm hoping to discuss today's reality since that's the point of contention.

"I think most of what you're seeing is that it generally sucks to be poor and rural, full stop"

You're right that this is most of it. But I believe there is unique institutional racism specifically directed towards poor rural white people in particular.

The soft quota they face in employment and education and the hatred and derision uniquely directed towards them in particular (and towards no other group) from all cultural institutions.

The white quota in the workforce, for example, is there to be filled by inner city whites with the right pedigree and right social values. The white quota in higher education makes it difficult for rural whites without the same early educational opportunities to have a chance, whereas a black rural person (even if they're a recent immigrant) will have an easier time, all else equal, for no other reason than they have the right skin color.

From my perspective, this is evidence of institutional discrimination, but it runs in the opposite direction to what's claimed.

"Meanwhile in NYC, black people are 16% of the state population but 53% of its prison population."

I don't see this as evidence for institutional bias that exists today that's pro-white.

Hindus do better than Whites in general. Is the system pro-Hindu?

Nigerians immigrants do well. Is the system pro-Nigerian?

Differential outcomes are not evidence that today's system is pro-white.

There's certainly a historical legacy of slavery and discrimination that helped to create these inequalities. But it's not evidence for much beyond that if we're discussing the institutions of today.
Which is an argument for why they should either be regulated or be forced to introduce competition since otherwise there is no incentive for them to fix these issues.

Such workers shouldn't be calling BS on their leaders on return to offices, they should keep their heads down and do as they told.

Regarding your points about needing money, the audience here is blessed to be in such high demand, that they can freely choose projects and leadership they like. We have just one life, why earn money doing something that you don't love?

A language like Kotlin can do some of these things using delegates, interfaces and extension methods.

For example a MutableList<T> can be dropped down to a List<T> which is not mutable. And a generic conversion from Collection<T> to NonEmptyCollection<T> should be trivial to write as an extension method.
While I wouldn't put it the same way he did, calling this "clearly antisemitic" goes way over board and is in my point of view unacceptable. Besides, albeit regrettable, it is common for Israelis to mix up their religion with political matters, too.

The kind of ferocity with which people reject other people's opinions and evaluate them to the highest possible moral standards once they disagree with them is a special kind of modern savagery. We're talking about a blog post this guy wrote ten years ago as a private person. Maybe he even changed his opinion or regrets the way he phrased it then?
If the charging station can deliver the juice, like at least 150KW, then a 10 minute stop will give you another few hundred kilometers if your car can handle that.

At that point it becomes a nice spot to stretch your legs and grab something quick to bite before you're back on the road again.

I never charge at anything less than 75KW if I am driving long distance. I have 22KW at home for slow charging.
Do you know how absurd that would be? Crypto like Bitcoin are just a database in essence. Throwing someone in prison for running a database on their computer would probably spell the end of general purpose computers. You will not be allowed to run databases anymore unless they are approved.

This genre of posts is so tiresome.

As the second video in the thread demonstrates, the truck is literally hauling traffic lights. The AI recognition is correct, the only thing worth complaining about is that they're displayed as static objects for the user after recognition, just to be re-recognized a few seconds later in a different place. Note that the car is correctly not detecting they are lit, so not inferring direction (though AP isn't engaged, so I guess we'll never know what it would have done).

No doubt you could play the same game by putting a traffic cone on your bike. The car wants to see important traffic objects, it's literally what it's trained for.

..but I remembered it from reading it in the Ketamine book by Karl Jansen long ago. At the time she was doing it daily and slept 3 hours a day.

Based on an 1998 interview with Moore's Journey's into the Bright World (1978) co-author Howard Alltounian, M.D. he wrote:

"Moore went to visit John Lilly at his ranch in Decker Canyon, Malibu. She was astonished to find that he was, at that point, describing "Vitamin K" (his preferred term) as an "extremely dangerous" substance. Lilly had just been through a massive binge ending in a near fatal accident, and out of his original ten person study group, one had "driven his car off a cliff" (Dr. Craig Enright) and another hd met an "equally lugubrious end" (Carol Carlssen).

"John Lilly's last words to me were, "You'd better be damn strong if you're going to play that game."... As this book goes to press I have once again increased the doses."

Moore disappeared from her house on January 14, 1979. Her husband spent a year searching for her, including journeys to Hong Kong and Thailand, places to which she had traveled in the past. Her skeleton was found in early spring, 1981, in the place where she had frozen to death. She had made a journey at night into the dark world of the forest, a potent Jungian symbol, curled up in a tree, and then injected herself repeatedly with all of the ketamine she had been able to find."

I am not sure if Howard or Karl are assuming things here.
