Don't you need a statistical model accounting for possible sequencing batch effects, in that case? They may have been batched according to some scheme which correlates with the chronic diseases, and variations in the sequencing chemistry between batches could cause spurious associations.
For what it’s worth, the keychain now syncs with iCloud and across all your Apple devices and it’s end to end encrypted by your system or phone passwords.

The password interface in iOS has improved a whole bunch (tells you about weak passwords, reused passwords, etc) but doesn’t support attaching a TOTP to an entry.

Which may or may not be a big deal now what everyone is moving to U2F etc.

> Passwords are a lost cause.

I never really understood this. Ed25519 keys use SHA-512 and are considered secure. They're still just long secrets, aren't they?

What's to prevent me from using a similarly long, randomly generated secret as my password, using a different one for every site? Because that's what I'm doing with KeePass.

Backing up the auth database/file and having enough redundancy in place, as well as having a sufficiently secure master password take some effort, but the rest is just copying and pasting those long secrets when you want to log in.

Of course, 2FA is a necessity for everything important as well, but it feels to me like the kinds of passwords that many people use are the problem, not the concept of passwords.
> I use Chrome, but the other major browsers like Edge or Firefox are fine too. They can isolate their trusted UI from websites, they don’t break the sandbox security model, they have world-class security teams, and they couldn’t be easier to use.

This is about as low-key of a recommendation as you can construct.

Curious that he omits Safari though.

Much military crypto is still symmetric. Before the ship leaves port, or the plane takes off, or the unit leaves base, some officer goes to a key distribution point and picks up something containing the necessary keys.

Over the years, the "something" has been books, paper tapes, punched cards, and various devices. Today, for US/NATO military, it's usually something called the "Simple Key Loader"[1], a rather bulky hand-held device which runs, of all things, Windows CE 6.0.

Just xor-ing a secret key that's as long as a message is guaranteed to be 100% safe, given that you don't reuse the key.

A truly random secret key. Any non-randomness in a one time key system is exploitable. See Venona.

Just the 2D positions plus a confidence level. In the video we are using only one view so it's no true full body tracking yet. We are currently trying to use two views to get a rough 3D tracking.
The good thing is that the positions of the detected points are relatively stable so with a big enough baseline that should work out for a rough 3D pose estimation

You still have to unlock your phone and any competent password manager makes you type the password at least once and has options for how often you have to.

If someone has your phone and your phone passcode you’re kind of hosed anyway.

One half of 2FA is a password.... saying 1/2 of that is a lost cause is stupid.

Passwords are great, because they're in your head and can be changed at will (unlike biometrics), and phishing 2fa from (eg old people) is not any harder than phishing for a password.
I personally believe it was a mistake. Safe search must be hard to maintain.

I don't see the advantages
That’s an incorrect description of the budget reconciliation process.

One of the budget reconciliation categories is explicitly for revenue, which means being revenue-neutral would make it harder to pass under reconciliation.

Being an aspect that explicitly impacts revenue makes it much easier to pass under the revenue reconciliation process. In fact, adjusting those rates would be a pretty straight-down-the-middle use of reconciliation.

What do you imagine is typologically wrong with new std::string("pjmlp")?

Yes, new is itself too low-level, so std::make_unique("pjmlp"s) is the modern idiom; and std::string is limited (expect unicode-aware strings in '23). But a heap-allocated string object is a thing equally easy and useful to express in Rust. (Dunno about Ada: does it have any analog of destructors, yet?)
Does this have anything to do with the topic?
Until pretty recently, missile used semi-active guidance. Basically, they would have a receptor that would detect the radiation scattered back from radar. The issue in this case is that the signal would not be much more precise or even usable due to the low frequency. So active guidance fully from the missile is needed.

Ground based missiles are quite different from A2A missiles in that they are much larger and have much more kinetic energy to spare.

Maneuvering always kills kinetic energy though. So what these missiles do is that they gain altitude before maneuvering, reducing speed and drag, and once the maneuver is done (lock acquired), they maneuver and gain a lot of kinetic energy by coming back down.

There is basically zero chance a ground based missile fired from 50-60 km will lack energy even if it has to maneuver a few hundred meters to correct for inaccuracy.
There is a difference between passwords and certificates: you have to send the password over the network every time you login, whereas the private key is never shared.

But in general I agree with the rest of your comment.
You can use a toilet. Dogs can't. Yes, it's an inconsistency. Socialization matters.
For my parents, i tell them to just write the password down on a piece of paper.

I wonder if the difference in this case is that the executed persons might have been members of the military, serving far away from home, and buried where they were executed because obviously transporting an unrefrigerated corpse any distance at all was not viable.

> > "demoralized by this sudden affluence,"

> Nothing hurts employee morale like a huge raise!

That seems likely to be language drift, and indeed checking a contemporary-ish dictionary produces:

demoralize 2 c : to throw into disorder

morale 2 b : a sense of common purpose with respect to a group : espirit de corps

which sounds like a much less stupid concern.
Because you can't trust him. Full stop. That's the problem with conflicts of interest.

And to get more particular, the reason you can't trust his advice about the pandemic is because you can't trust him to give advice that would be based on or would reveal information related to the conflict of interest. Pretending as if that's impossible is silly. It's obvious it could happen, whether it did or not.
It's all good. It's a really, really tricky topic, for sure.
But these arrangements are clearly fake to avoid tax. There are already laws that see through it, just there is nobody that would dare to do anything about it.
In the UK for example, for a long time people paid themselves in loans, to completely avoid tax. This was at first available only to the rich, HMRC knew about it and did nothing. Only when the "pleb" learned about it and started using it, they woke up and applied the tax retrospectively and called it "disguised remuneration". Many people lost everything they had, many committed suicides.

Why HMRC does not do the same with companies using fake charges to hide profits? Those companies got huge competitive advantage over local small companies who cannot afford such creative accounting. So many businesses didn't happen because of that.

I think it's time HMRC doubled down and destroyed this gravy train.

I am sure we have clever people that would build a new Facebook, that is ethical and pays taxes.
Shared ownership is code smell to me regardless of the language, I think Rust just makes it a bit more high friction.

Language difficulty I'm having trouble seeing how C++ isn't harder there. You have decades of features, lots of gotchas that I could rattle off and a bunch of implicit behavior that you only learn about when it blows up at runtime(if your lucky). Heck, I've seen heap corruptions stay latent in codebases for 6+ months only to have a new field added that causes them to cascade into a failure that took 3 weeks to debug across 2 different teams. I've still seen modern compilers not catch basic use after free scenarios in code today.

I won't disagree that you can get code to compile quicker in C++ but if your goal is feature velocity you're better served by a high level language. If your goal is stability, performance and memory which is the domain of systems programming then I think C++ has a bunch of hidden failure modes that Rust frontloads in an elegant way.

There are projects where you'd pick C++ for portability on platforms LLVM doesn't support or momentum with existing codebases but if I had to pick between the two my personal bias is towards Rust for all the reasons above.
I wonder how you could find training for this? It sounds absolutely fascinating.

My wife and I have always had problems camping and hiking at night. My night vision is great. Hers is abysmal (she also would wear coke bottle glasses without her contacts). I hate flashlights because they ruin that night vision and make it so that I can only see a spot vs everything around me.

It would be awesome for her to "see" in the dark, and I just think it would be an awesome skill.

This approach is taught at consultancy firms to help structure clear written business communication, especially if your audience includes time-poor senior executives.
There is no reason whatsoever to even consider race. The justification is often that it’s a proxy for income, but that doesn’t make it any more logical. You can just evaluate it by income, profession, whatever, directly. By accusing white people of doing this, you’re still being completely racist. Say “wealthy people from other zip codes” if you want, but we got rid of segregation for a good reason.

The first half of the piece seems to claim the Biden administration actively continued the case.

Then we get this:

>Anthony Coley, a Justice Department spokesman, noted that “on multiple occasions in recent months,” the Biden-era department had moved to delay enforcement of the order and it then “voluntarily moved to withdraw the order before any records were produced.”

Sounds like it just took a while for the new team to get up to speed and kill this. Am I being naive?
It was slow so operating system devs didn't use it. So it was removed. Probably becouse hardware saved, properly, all registers and software can save only needed few (and sometimes miss something).

In effect: we don't know how secure it was...

But if it was good and Intel removed it then why Intel keeps so many useless crap in ?? Good parts - remove, bad - needed for backward compatibility... Can, finally, someone tell backward compatibility with WHAT ? DOS 4.0 ? Drivers for pre-winonly modems using plain ISA or PCI slots ??

Or maybe just like with EVE Online code (few years ago?) - no one anymore knows how some parts works...
I completely agree about the steep learning curve and the feeling of dark magic -- how many times have I had to relearn what deparse(substitute(x)) means -- but oh the satisfaction of broadening my programming horizons. For me it didn't feel like C macros, it felt like "This must be what it feels like to have the power of Lisp"!

That's the weird thing about R. All this dark magic is hiding under the hood, but the core R team hid it so deftly that to the casual statistician it's a straightforward data modelling language that "just works". I'm not sure that it's possible to get rid of the dark magic and retain that data-modeller friendliness.

Puerto Rico is not subject to the exact same minimum wage laws as the states, it has several exceptions. And even if it were, it’s laughable IMO to consider that a reason to punish workers in the rest of the US. “Sorry guys, we know you’re worth more but we can’t have those Puerto Ricans living too high on the hog”

I don’t know, your point seems to boil down to ‘it’s just like that because of how it is’. Policy matters and can have an impact on the status quo. Sure, we don’t live in a perfectly efficient market but we can make improvements.
Is there one present in Android? My understanding is password managers on Android and iOS abuse a11y interfaces. (I'm not a mobile dev)
The major problem with the built-in password managers is that they don't store more than the password. If there's a site that has security questions, I use LastPass to keep track of the security questions and my answers. I have to do this because I don't give real answers to security questions.

A minor annoyance is that Safari will not let me treat sites which use multiple domains as equivalent. So Discount Tire uses dt.com and discounttire.com but Safari flags this as a security problem because I'm using the same password with both. LastPass lets me set them as equivalent domains, though the process is probably too difficult for most people.

LastPass made free users decide whether to use it either on computers or phones & tablets but not both. Because I use FireFox on my Mac, I used LastPass on computers. I rely on Safari to sync for my phone and tablet. I think it's inevitable that LastPass will continue making life more difficult for free users and I may end up with a flat file or Apple Notes file to store the security questions and answers.

Yep... in large stores like ikea, i've had huge problems with my connection falling down to 2g speeds, and finding anything online was a huge pain in the ass.

I'm not sure what you mean here. You can't write off a mortgage. You could write off interest, but not the value of the mortgage.

Real estate tends to appreciate in value, especially in cities. The company would have to get unlucky with their real estate to be able to write off a loss. Buildings don't usually depreciate.

They could allow their buildings to fall into a state of disrepair, hoping it would lower their value. But why would they? The can deduct the repairs. It's a legitimate expense.
The Bluespec Language is another Haskell-like that compiles to hardware, but I think it's a bit more mature, too. It also has a second non-Haskell-like syntax to avoid scaring those used to Verilog.

Well someone can drug you and use your face while you’re passed out, but they can’t make your unconscious self share your pin code. This all assumes your attacker doesn’t think to just scare you into sharing by threatening you with a hammer.

I was actually thinking more about law enforcement being the most likely to try gaining access to your phone. They can make you use your face or fingerprint, but they can’t force you to reveal your pin code.

Patrick Winston (1943-2019) was a computer scientist at MIT. Every year he gave a popular talk titled How to Speak. Here is a recording of the talk from 2018:

How To Speak by Patrick Winston:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Unzc731iCUY

A book of his insights was published in 2020: Make It Clear: Speak and Write to Persuade and Inform. I'm half-way through the book and it is good so far. Although the book pitches itself as suitable for anyone who writes or speaks, many of the examples in the book have an emphasis on speaking in an academic or teaching setting. However, there are good insights that anyone can learn from.

I recommend watching the talk above first to help you decide whether the book will appeal to you (the material in the lecture is in the book as are additional insights). There are lots of reviews of the book on the Amazon US site too.
> interrupt handling would be faster, simpler, more complete, and less prone to corner-case bugs.

If it's simpler, I can see why it will be faster and less prone to corner-case bugs (at least, the hardware will have fewer corner cases; the software is a different question).

But how can simplification supposed to make FRED more "complete"?
And telling someone to exercise is fatphobic, expecting people to be social is discriminating against people with aspergers, telling someone to meditate is anti-ADHD people. Do literally whatever you want, I'm sure you can somehow be happy no matter what you do. Toxicity, toxicity everywhere.
Personally using a browser based password manager is too restrictive in that you need a browser to access passwords.

I use passwords in a lot of places outside of browsers and often the interface I'm using has no browser capabilities.

Understand using browser based password management if you only ever use passwords on the web. But I'm sure a lot of others, like me, need them outside of that context.
This resonates with me completely
You can get distorted projections with pinhole cameras too, as long as your sensor is curved. Fisheye is impractical, but cylindrical projections are easy. Common way to do pinhole photography is with an oatmeal box, which is a cylinder.

I'm not really trying to nitpick here, just like talking about pinhole cameras. With a flat image plane the pinhole lens is "rectilinear", but the beauty of pinhole cameras is that you can project the image onto any shape you want without affecting focus.

> I don’t understand this argument.

It counters a common argument against minimum wage increases. The argument goes "Small businesses can't afford raises. If they are forced to pay their employees more, they will go bankrupt, leading to unemployment, and low wages are better than unemployment, so you shouldn't raise the minimum wage"
I'm curious, how do you deal with daylight savings time switches?
There are other options as well: nMigen (python), Chisel (Scala), SpinalHDL (Scala), Bluespec (Haskell).

It's worth taking a quick glance at all of them (maybe making a toy or two) to see if any of them strike your fancy. Being able to do metaprogramming and parameterization in an actual programming language rather than a not-quite C-preprocessor pass makes a lot of things easier.

Just about anything feels "nicer" to me than VHDL or Verilog, but I particularly like nMigen, and find SpinalHDL to be at least somewhat readable.
