You are trusting the server to be honest, but maybe not when you think.

In Signal's design, participants have a long term identity key, and the thing you're verifying is essentially just the combination of your long term identity key with the other party's long term identity key, but deterministically ordered so that you both see the exact same value. They call this the "Safety Number". So e.g. maybe your identity can be summarised as A4 and Jim's identity is C6, Signal will show you the value A4C6 as the "Safety Number" for Jim, while Jim also sees A4C6 as the "Safety Number" for lucgommans.

This value is calculated by your client (and Jim's client). The server could present you a new long term identity key for Jim (because Jim's phone dropped dead and he bought a new one, or because the Secret Police want to intercept messages for Jim) but this triggers your client to warn you that the Safety Number changed and you need to decide if this is still Jim.

The Safety Number isn't calculated for each messages, or call, or whatever, because it's made from these long term keys.

The Signal UI reflects the reality that the only way to be sure Jim is seeing the same Safety Number as you is to physically meet up and compare. I think it has pretty nice affordance for that scenario, you can scan a QR code from another Signal user to verify them.

It's tempting to think, but I could just read my Safety Number out, on this call, and then we verify that way. Signal won't prevent you from attempting this, but it actually isn't necessarily safe, so it also doesn't encourage that. Can a Nation State adversary fake up the "verification" step in a voice call? Maybe. Would you notice if they tried? Maybe. Best to sidestep the maybes entirely and if your threat model requires it just actually perform Verification of the Safety Number in person.
First class is all very well, but you don't escape the unfamiliar bed; the noise of the engines and other passengers; the weird air pressure; the fact you're in your travel clothes; the strangely corporate environment; or the jostling and noise of landing and takeoff.

Of course, some people are less sensitive to these things than others - and jobs with a lot of travel probably select for people who find the experience of flying tolerable.
Why? We were run out of Israel on a rail too. Ancestry of any kind means nothing to me. Sunk cost. As far as I'm concerned, my ancestral homeland is New York. And I'm pretty happy with that. My wife's parents are from Korea and they had a rough time there. They think of New York as home too. Speaking of new ethnic identities, I think of my kids as being Neoamerican.
no but i can sure get it :)

5556,5557,5558,8010 + MDNS is how i got VLC & videostream to cast across vlans with ubiquiti, of course now i've setup an emby server now so don't bother anymore but i doubt its changed in the last year.
Lawful interception is a joke. Dragnet spying is what passive encryption breaking enables, and it's what the authorities are always after, not targeted surveillence for a specific purpose. If there were any respect for the fourth amendment by LEO and the government at large, I might sympathize a bit more with lawful interception schemes.

Meanwhile, in reality, I look forward to the need to have every person location-tracked even without a cell phone. I'll cynically bet its part of "the discussion" by the time I'm retirement age. Being untracked just presents too many dangers!
> Then ring will know when someone steals the package.

Except that no one other than the recipient and maybe Amazon care about that. Certainly not law enforcement.
A bit more specific than that, it has elements of both conspiratorial thinking and “look what you made me do” gaslighting.
Affordable is relative. International business class from NYC to London is probably going to run you $3-4K RT for a business class seat which is absolutely routine for senior business people. Assuming you consider that affordable--which it certainly is compared to a private plane--a 50% premium over that would still seem to be in the affordable category. Doesn't mean it's cheap of course.

The Concorde was a premium over sub-sonic first class but it wasn't anything like double.
Nice, thanks for sharing your experience!
What's the point though? They can still continue to collect data on you based on your Chrome history, the Tweets you like, the articles your read, and everywhere else you interact with their discrete services. Apple is swatting privacy flies when Google and Facebook are holding a knife to your throat.

Furthermore, it's not like Apple themselves don't provide targeted ads[0]. All they're doing now is inroading the ad system through their own proprietary API so they can get a cut. What was wrong with the previous one, you may ask? It wasn't making them enough mone- erm... it wasn't secure enough! GUID fingerprinting isn't vague enough!

inf + 1 = inf, which is idempotent, so if you extend the complex numbers with infinity they become a semiring. Is the ire that infinitesmals draw related to this?
“Could be ready” falls pretty short of making a promise. I’m not sure what giving them a pass really entails. If they’re late to market it costs them money. Are you going to boycott using their product if it is good but late?
I don’t see how his words based on the article were anti Semitic. They were anti Israel. And I find that you and everyone here and at google are having a hard time distinguishing between the two.

Further based on the other comment to this post he was quite an activist. Fighting for rights of the racially oppressed and in minority.

He went against white people and Israel? He is not racist. He is just anti majority dominant power holder.

I guess I shouldn't have been so coy: SECOND AMENDMENT.

I don't care if you're a Proud Boy or a John Brown Society member. More guns == more violence.
I actually think this was handled well.

I'm normally against taking punitive action against employees for old social media content. People make mistakes and they should be allowed to grow and improve without being held permanently accountable for their past selves. However, this isn't like James Gunn being fired for old jokes with bad taste. This person was Google's head of diversity and he posted serious, blatantly-antisemitic arguments. That post would compromise his credibility with subordinates - not just as a person, but as a leader with a focus on diversity.

I like how Google reassigned him instead of firing him. It's an old post and he has hopefully changed for the better since then. He's no longer fit for his previous role, but there are probably many other roles he can still be effective in. I don't want to see someone crushed for past mistakes if they've learned from them.

IMO, this sets a good precedent for how to handle issues like this in the future. Hopefully other companies are taking notes.
My point being that the word "Ashkenazi" is still not understood by most people.

The idea is interesting, but it appears to involve using Vistimo's UI to break down projects and tasks. It feels incredibly waterfally, and also will involve re-entering mass amounts of project management data. I hope it integrates with Jira/Trello.
It's also been used for FiveThirtyEight for ages.
Equally wrong and one-sided
This is probably the biggest reason, they are building products used by virtually everyone on the planet, they cannot afford mistakes that could arise just because their employees only represent a small percentage of human diversity. If all diverse groups were equally well-off, or all they understood the existence and power of privilege, or there was no risk of the built products putting certain groups at a disadvantage, maybe we wouldn't need to do this. But we know that's not true.
You have inadvertently highlighted how thin the line is between (some) business and fraud.
Amcres/Foscam with some configuration changes
Note that the Concorde B (which never happened due to the eventual low sales of Concorde A) would've had no afterburners, and been quieter for climb-out and significantly lower fuel burn; it certainly was getting within reach during the time period of its development.

How does this contradict that?

The original iPhone was release in June of 2007, this confirms that the decision to release an SDK was in October of that year. With the announcement to the public being a couple of weeks after this email.
I now use a piece of software called Frigate, alongside Home Assistant, to do this. It works extremely well, surprisingly. I can watch clips and live streams via the Home Assistant apps on my phone, and for outside the house I have a Wireguard VPN to connect back. Works with any camera models with RTSP streams, which I put on a subnet with no internet access in case they phone home.

I wrote a little about my switch to this setup, if it's useful: https://senryu.pub/afternoonrobot/articles/replacing-unifi-v...

Edit: doorbell-wise there are a few models that would work with this setup but I don’t have one at the moment - my doorbell wiring is a really weird voltage and I haven’t gotten around to fixing it yet.
Theranos was magic tech that they managed to never have to prove worked. We’ve been building supersonic jets for a very long time.
>You give Apple Maps as an example, but that product was a major fumble at release. To the point Apple fired the exec in charge over it.

They fumbled, but that really didn't matter in the long run. Apple now has a perfectly competent mapping application. They've siphoned data away from Google and redirected it to themselves. Maps is now a key component to Apple's products and service, and has clearly become a cornerstone of Apple's AR roadmap. Apple Maps is now part of Apple's moat, and nobody can take that away from them. There is no situation in which Apple would go back to Google Maps. Sounds like a strategic win to me.
From my experience script examples usually indicate what version they were made for and add-ons have to declare the minimum supported Blender version in their `bl_info`, which tells what API version it was implemented for. I know that at least on Blender's Stack Exchange the community tries to provide updated answers if anything relevant has changed in a new version.

I can see that older scripts for 2.79 and earlier may cause the issue you're describing, but this doesn't seem like a Blender specific issue. How did Maya handle API changes between versions? I would assume that there were breaking changes at some point that caused similar issues.

> In a show there is casting. In a sport there is not. All members in good standing have to qualify.

Team sports often have “try-outs”. They also often have complex rules for selecting participants which have nothing to do with skill.
Everyone is different. Some people think that device and what it offers to them is useful. If you have a large house and get the occasional visitor that doesn't just come in anyway, I can see how this might be a convenient setup. And it's all about convenience. And non-tech people don't care about the "Amazon server" part at all.
…and how exactly are they supposed to “get back their rightful land”?
Exactly. It’s no different. Who wants a world that is no different from the classic dark ages?

People != nations. Conflating the two is bad because you start blaming people for the sins of their nation and that is how you get to dehumanization.
Miriam Webster is even further from "collectively defined" than Wikipedia is.
Really nice, thanks for the heads up. While I was looking for something similar I somehow didn't find picsum.photos, interesting indeed! I stumbled upon placekitten and other services but great to see that the idea I had is actually something done by others too.

You're right, I'll check into the AI generated images, I currently have a pretty beefy GPU machine at home that I was searching a use-case for :)
Well, one of my older siblings was one. Sort of still is. They never called themselves that.

Fascinating person. We don't always see eye-to-eye on everything, but I have learned a great deal from them.
He was writing about the government of Israel using some questionable stylistic choices.

I think most would be served well by using Alpine images. In my experience their quality is quite high. Unfortunately as mentioned, musl is a non-starter for a number of uses.
> Yes, my argument is absolutely that none of the changes warranted breaking backwards compatibility.

> That's merely an ad hominem, not an argument as to why you believe that the changes merited breaking backwards compatibility when there were far less intrusive ways to realize solutions that were close to as convenient but did not break backwards compatibility.

You haven't made an argument, nor given any alternatives. You've just complained that the free work of others wasn't to your specifications.

How would you propose handling the str/bytes situation without breaking backwards compatibility?
Great, now also link me to a cacophony of Twitter activists who've defined it the same way, I am proven wrong.

But, and of course it's a silly request, can you provide any objective large-scale studies as to who (their demographics) is being canceled, for what categorization, and the net effect of their cancellation? It doesn't matter, granted, because the Wikipedia definition of highly politicized terms is, of course, what counts.

Ah, because American celebrities spend so much of their time clicking through junk mail and seeing where it goes. Makes plenty of sense.

I worked on this problem for the past year at Google. It's a fascinating problem. In my subarea I focused on accelerators (like GPUs) running machine learning training.

Many users report problems like "NaN" during training- at some point, the gradients blow up and the job crashes. Sometimes these are caused by specific examples, or numerical errors on the part of the model developer, but sometimes, they are the result of errors from bad cores (during matrix multiplication, embedding lookup, vector op, whatever).

ML is usually pretty tolerant of small amounts of added noise (especially if it's got nice statistcal properties) and some training jobs will ride through a ton of uncorrected and undetected errors with few problems. It's a very challenging field to work in because it's hard to know if your nan is because of your model or your chip.
Texas is less that 10% of the car market. Tesla still has a huge manufacturing plant in California to supply this market which will probably continue permanently. [I expect though that either the law will be changed or a workaround developed.]
Silicon Valley’s Mayo Marketing Madness
I switched to DuckDuckGo on a permanent basis for around a year now. What I’ve noticed:

- I find myself doing “!g query” every now and then because I can’t find some very specific things (typically dev-related), but I can find 80-90% of the stuff I want in the first page.
- The index takes a long time to update (if I post something on my blog - which uses ddg for site search - it may take up to a week to show up)
- Comparatively zero nuisances (although there are so many spam blogs out there with gear reviews that they have pretty much the same effect as search ads)

In general, I’m happy, but I would agree that search, in general, has become worse over the past five years or so, as regardless of what engine I use, I now have to be much more specific about what I want and scroll through one or two pages of results before I find what I need.
USAF pilots are also subject to a ten-year service commitment after they are rated for their aircraft type, which is usually around two years of training.
>Why is there not a focus on countries such as Bermuda here? They are the "tax havens" who make this possible in the first place.

There is. Two wrongs don't make a right. The topic at hand is Ireland.

> Other countries are perfectly entitled to do similarly, as Netherlands does.

If every country acted the same way, there would not be a single functioning nation on earth. Their benefits only exist because other countries are losing out, which makes them parasites.

From what I understand, you do not work directly with infinite, but infinitude, basically a hyperinteger that is bigger than any integer. For which H + 1 = H does not hold.
I have absolutely no interest in protecting my ethnicity. Plenty of ethnicities have gone extinct and I fully expect most extant ethnicities (and religions) to fade away eventually too. No one will be upset when there are no more Jews any more than they miss Manichaens or Hittites. Borders and superstitions serve no practical purpose. To be clear, I'm not advocating genocide or violence of any kind. I'm just saying attrition is inevitable.
My wife and I together spend about 3k per month on food. We're outliers but it surely happens.
The simple explanation is not always correct.

Damore doubled down on defending the document and asserted his right to publish it. At that point, he made himself a walking Title VII violation and tied Google's hands. Whether management wanted to fire him or not, the legal cost of retaining him was going to exceed his value as an individual contributor.

As far as I can see, Bobb is doing everything he can to work with Google to avoid the further creation of a hostile work environment. It might not be enough, but for now it seems to be worth more to the company to keep him than to fire him.

There may be one aspect, however, where your observation about relative American tolerances for hostile-environment-creating speech matters. Hostile work environment is partially decided by fellow employee's reaction to behavior. If the average Googler is, in fact, less tolerant of biological essentialism than antisemitism, that could create a corporation where one speech is punished more hardly than the other. But I think we ought not to discount the reaction of the separate actors in these two stories once caught in the spotlight.
100% agree with this. Education should not put everyone in a box and feed them all the possible information. Look at the Finnish model, there's a reason they have the best performance. I used to hate art when it was forced down my throat in school. Now that I can go to museums by myself and learn what I want, I love it.

And about "having to learn" stuff, I feel like it's more a justification the parent poster gave to themselves so they get over with it, not a real _need_ to learn something. What's the point of memorizing stuff you'll never use?
They did intend that. This email is Bertrand relenting and saying “Fine, let’s enable apps that aren’t web apps.” Here’s what they told developers when the iPhone was released (months before that email): https://youtu.be/vKKISOnOCaw

Who cares if you don't like mushrooms or not, how is it relevant? If you don't like them and this study were true, and even if it's not, I'm sure supplement makers will miracle-up a "mushroom life-extension" pill.

How do you know that you don't have cancer? Most of us have a few pre-cancerous and cancerous cells in our bodies most of the them, but our immune system kills them or the cells die because they're incompatible with continued survival. And, as we age, the rate of cancerous cells production increases and the immune system's ability to fight them decreases. Even with healthy lifestyles and barring no other major diseases, most of us, statistically, will die from either cardiopulmonary insufficiency, cardiorespiratory failure, pneumonia, or cancer. "100% chance of getting cancer and dying from it" is then an invalid assumption.

What does "overly-assertive" mean? Do you mean "overly-optimistic?" On what basis do you have any way to measure or judge the results of the study without any data?

Another couple of nits for future reference: "long winded" is hyphenated and "At best" needs a comma.
