They might have think twice if Apple didn't promise to make sure the app store was completely secure. A promise which they realistically can't keep at their scale no matter how hard they try.

Also, this is just one example, the article itself has other ones.
I got scammed too. I got an app for $14/week for some LG / Samsung screen sharing. We were in hotel and I wanted to stream something to TV in the hotel room so I quickly downloaded it. Wine did not help :( The app was charging me for one month. But then it disappeared from the store.

One problem is this weekly schedule: people do not check cc statements on weekly schedule. Also they should sent an iMessage a couple of days before the change.

They do. But how do you get rich? By having other people work for you. That cannot happen to nearly the same extent in a planned economy.
Scrum is good when done right.

1) Everyone. I mean _everyone_ in the organisation needs to commit to the Scrum model. Sales guys aren't excepted from the scrum cycle. If they need a "quick little thing" they put it in the backlog and wait.
2) The Scrum model needs to be adapted to the organisation, it's not a one size fits all model. Most maintenance-style operations don't fit the standard scrum model (ongoing CS issues etc), and testing is kinda iffy (do we test the sprint result during the sprint or during the next sprint?).
LeetCode – Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array
Uh I live next to a roundabout (single lane) and it’s the safest thing ever. I’m guessing you’re American?
I can't see this being a solution in places with lots of snow and it also takes a lot more space than the actual road.
The number of scams and fakes on the Google Play store is off the charts.
I don't understand the cost argument. Enforcement is only expensive if you offer minimal punishments.

Other countries have in the past literally board and scuttle trespassing fishing vessels.

Do that, even only a couple times, and few foreign boats will risk the trip. It is cheap to do.
This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. People don't know how to use them because they never encounter them. Once they've been around for a while, people will encounter them and learn how to use them.

Do you have any numbers to back up that claim?
That's more or less how it ends up working in the NHS, and I guess it's Conway's Law playing out again rather than being intentional.

Health is particularly difficult because it's both data that needs to be accessible by a large number of different people/organisations and also about as sensitive as you can get. Any attempt to make the data more secure necessarily slows access, but making the data more accessible also makes it less secure.

Having seen the quality of some of the systems holding this data on the edges, I would rather see a central database and a lot of funding go into the technology of that system. Why? Because I agree with your other post, that technical controls are the only solution. Controls that could make it impossible for the data to be misused or leaked, or at least make access auditable. That's where the research and funds should be spent.

Ideally, that could be done by every data custodian at the edge, but I just don't think that will happen. It's easier to solve the problem in one place than in 10s or 100s or 1000s of places.

In the UK, there are lots of central data repositories holding pretty sensitive information. I think it's fair to say that the government wouldn't have much problem finding your health data, along with detailed census/tax/internet/phone/travel data, if they decided they wanted to.
I always wonder about the word "obvious." Does it need to be a universal quality or experience in order to be obvious? For example, I have no idea about Barcelona having not had the pleasure of visiting there yet.
I agree, but wouldn't those questions, or atleast any opinions on the answers to those questions, just be part of ethics?
That’s unclear. A couple of things to consider, both of which are helping scammers currently:

- A lot of users let their guard down because they blindly trust Apple’s marketing, and scammers take advantage of that.

- The fake ratings and reviews are making this even worse by leading people to believe other people have found some of these scams valuable.

I can see how a more trustworthy ratings system and a more honest marketing of the App Store for what it really is, could lead to fewer scams, even if Apple doesn’t control the App Review process so tightly - or doesn’t control it all.
Looks like you are being downvoted for no good reason. Comments like this always seem to go down after the sun rises across the Atlantic

“I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil.”

I remember this quote from an old Ice Cube btw
> The question is, how do you add those components together? One solution is to use mixins. This gives us some flexibility back, but we can go even further. See, mixins still tie the data of the component to the code that processes it. But when you think of it, some data, like the position of an object, can be useful for several systems (rendering, collision detection, AI…).

Typeclasses allow you to treat your entities as objects with behavior, while at the same time separating concerns in your codebase. The behavior is defined wherever makes sense according to the separation of concerns and then "added" to the bare entity object where it is needed.

You don't really even need typeclasses to achieve this behavior. It's just the adapter pattern.

You might not get the absolute best efficiency this way, but it's not a fatal blow to combining ECS style and OO style.
AI is neither artificial nor intelligent. It is made from natural resources and it is people who are performing the tasks to make the systems appear autonomous.

Making something from natural resources does not make it natural. If that were the case, we wouldn't have the word "artificial", since everything we make comes from natural elements and everything would be "natural". The fact that you took natural resources and built something else from it--that it didn't exist in nature already--makes it artificial. AI is definitely artificial.

Firstly, to be strictly accurate, the data here will not be anonymous, only pseudonymous.

But in any case, we are talking about a long list of often very specific observations for almost everyone included in the data set. The chances of even supposedly anonymised data with that much detail being subject to reidentification are quite high, and there are plenty of organisations that might be able to infer enough to do it, by comparing against other data sets they already hold.
If you have specific games in mind you can often find comparable test results for similar hardware on the game's wiki page. https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Z... (you can click "expand" to get a ton more results but they may be on very old versions and not representative of current performance).
Don't derail. There are other threads about Apple's store and their vig.
It's called government regulation, with true actionable penalties for not enforcing legal mandates. The laws should be enforceable even for open-source type App Stores, and operations that cannot follow the laws should not be available in those countries. Countries must have control over their territories, regardless of whether it is in the physical or virtual world.

If you "created" the equivalent in real life, in a 3D physical, brick-and-mortar sense, the law would generally be strictly enforced, and you would be able to get away with far less. That is, unless you are FAANG, which lobbies the US government--and other governments around the world for laws that give them an extremely huge "competitive advantage" over startups and mom-and-pop type establishments, along with allowing them to be "in compliance" but not adhering to the actual "spirit of the law". The actual spirit of the law is what the purpose of the law is in the first place. It is about affording people inherent rights.

The European Union has halfway decent laws on paper at best, that are extremely poorly enforced. Also, FAANG always finds a way to evade a penalty, anywhere in the world. The EU needs to step up its game, and I think they will, but of course, it will never be quite enough.
A vessel without a working tracker is either non-existent or broken.

Broken vessels should be taken to port and kept there until repairs AND said repairs are verified. Verification should consists of "the tracker was on continuously for a week."

If there's no vessel at a given location, it's clearly safe for live-fire targetted at said location.
I have been wondering whats the best way to store my important web links, since chrome's bookmarks arent organized in a good way, you have to scroll through a long list, and sometimes they are lost as well.
so i created a personal web link manager software for windows and works well with chrome.
the idea is, just create a topic, add the links related to that topic, every link has a title and comments with which they can be later found using the search bar,
an option of starred link is also added.
check the software here at the link.

Roundabouts in the busy city center would be terrible. Where roundabouts fit best is in intersections with low demand, because they have low capacity, and there's no reasonable way to increase capacity.

If it's the urban core busy city center where there are skyscrapers right up to the lot line, there's no room for a roundabout unless you're willing to make 'round a bumps' or carve some footprint out of the buildings at traffic level.

If it's the busy city center where you've got four lane surface streets intersecting with each direction having two straight through lanes, one right turn lane and one or two left turn lanes, a roundabout is never going to manage that kind of throughput by forcing all those people into a single lane to get into the roundabout at low speeds.

You may have fewer collisions, and of course very few of them will be during left turns, but you'll also reduce the utility of the roads connected to the roundabout, which will likely move traffic to other roads. Also, a collision in the roundabout stops the roundabout, which makes it hard to respond if people are injured or vehiclea disabled.

Traffic signals with 'protected' lefts don't stop people from going against the signal, but they do stop a lot of people from trying to make a gap that they really shouldn't. Sometimes a three-way signal timing pattern is appropriate; for the main direction, opposing traffic has greens for straight simultaneous (with cycles for protected left if appropriate), and for the other direction, each side gets a green for straight and left one side at a time.
Unfortunately, the Apple army will be ready to downvote you. In my experience, they will not hear anything negative about Apple, even if it's true.

Disclaimer: I think Apple's products are beautiful, simple and well engineered, but they are able to feed some total BS to their fans, who just accept it at face value and regurgitate it everywhere, and that's annoying.
Do bots need to do this automatically? What if a programmer gets that database and does a quick search for those naive salts? Then he can do some pattern matching and try the same pattern in some sites like PayPal, Apple, Gmail, etc. Generalize it a bit and you can even create a tool to do this for you for every new database leaked.
I agree. I think the author leans too much on the supposed incompatibility of OO style and ECS style, which they explain only by linking to the Wikipedia page for object-relational impedance mismatch. I've worked in many systems that satisfy the author's description of ECS in their treatment of the central domain objects, and they were all built in OO languages and were thoroughly OO in the rest of the codebase.

I think the author was on the right track in recognizing OO as "a set of mechanics we can cherry pick," but I really don't follow how they think an embrace of ECS style would force programmers to abandon most or all OO mechanics.
Honestly the hardest part about integrating AI into our daily lives is the fact that we don't really have AI yet. We have made great advances in the fields of machine learning and neural networks, but actually getting a computer to make educated decisions is hard. The current issue is that all of these models are black boxes: an ML model can guess which data will come out, but it can't really fully understand what it knows. It can identify slightly harder to notice patterns, but it can't actually think.

We adopted the phrase "AI" far too early in the field, and I suspect there will be another few decades before we have the technical and scientific capability to make real artifical intelligence a thing.
So I guess the rest of the world just has to shut up and take this behavior from China?

It is interesting that people glom on the statements that Musk makes to orchestrate his Bitcoin manipulations, but don't really talk much about what he says in between. He's been quite transparent that he sees the whole subject as a joke.

People who buy and sell based on his end statements amplify his joke, making the fluctuations more volatile than any stock day trader could ever hope for. At the same time, if they are timing their buys and sells to his statements, they also profit. Instead, a lot of people complain if they sell too late and the price is already rising again. That's not Musk's problem. That's the panic reactionist's problem.

If Musk wasn't taking advantage like this, someone else would find a way to do it. Like the way wallstreetbets was with the MJ stocks. Anonymous didn't seem to mind that one.

As you've said, finding and publicizing an issue by exercising it over and over again isn't the problem. Passively complaining about it and not looking for solution that would bring Bitcoin more into the realm of "real money" means things will always be this way.

Yes you need to trust the software. But unless you don't store it on your computer, you need to trust software. The hard part is to figure out which software and whom to trust.

I would definitely use the browser password manager, if I could choose where to sync the data to. I think it's possible with firefox, but it's not straight forward.

I personally trust pfp, because the creator is doing audits of browser addons and publishes them on his blog. They are very well explained.

Also the code is quite compact compared to the other password managers. LastPass, 1Password and Bitwarden have more than 100,000 lines of code, including many third party dependencies. So an audit of PfP is more feasible.
I think it occurs someone criticizes a political opponent for using a word or phrase which has been commonplace until that time, though some may have considered it offensive.

Immediately, that usage is widely decried as horribly offensive, and even groups that routinely used it pile on to join the attack:

"When (my opponent) said X today, it shows they are horrible and intend terrible things, whereas my use of it yesterday/last year (or in the future!) was completely innocent."

The direction of the politicization will remain in dispute:

Did my opponent politicize it by using language known to be offensive, as a callout to their constituency?

Or did I politicize it by criticizing them, as a callout to my constituency?

Or do they politicize it by continuing to use it afterward?
I'm the creator of the Altium importer in KiCad, and yes, importer development is time consuming but important for people without access to those programs. I even looked into Allegro and reverse-engineered initial bits, but without access to those programs it is practically impossible to write something meaningful. At least for Allegro, you can export to Fabmaster and import it into KiCad.

It's also easier to write importers for the ASCII file format than for the default binary file format, but for the former one the user needs to have access to the proprietary program to export it, which makes them unsuitable for some use-cases.
That's true except for the times it isn't.
Proper Dutch-style roundabouts have the path for cyclists that follows the sidewalk, not the car lane.

Why not blame Trezor for allowing a fake app to steal money from his hardware wallet? Did he buy the wallet thinking it would make scams impossible?
Just throwing this out there, but a lot of working class contractor type drive a RAM/Ford/Chevy 1 ton class diesel trucks with mega cab that typically runs in the neighborhood of 50-70k, so these people WILL transition to electric. I already know republican types in rural areas that even want to get the Cybertruck (even if it means looking like one of those rich types).
> This paves the way for electric cars that a working class mom and dad can afford to get to and from work and the store.

Are we not already there in terms of car prices? In SF, a used nissan leaf can be had for from $10k-15k. New EVs aren't actually vastly different in price from new economy cars, especially if you take into account various credits.

To me, it seems like the main reason electric cars are relatively uncommon is not because the sticker price is too high, but rather because of factors like home charging (requires dedicated parking & possibly an expensive charger installed), fear of needing a second car _anyway_ for longer trips (partly due to awful charging infrastructure / range issues), and relatively few of them existing on the used market.
The US does this kind of research, too. And, it seems like it even funded the Wuhan research at least to some extent. Would the US need a threat of economic retribution to reconsider this research? Or to change a practice of their food supply suspected of causing significant harm? Writing that out, I guess maybe it would.

That's a nice clean breakdown of that wording issue. I get her point though I guess, but I was hoping there might be something deeper.

Could you clarify what kinds of regulations you would like to see? I can't tell what your proposal is from this comment.
> AI is neither artificial nor intelligent. It is made from natural resources and it is people who are performing the tasks to make the systems appear autonomous.

People performing the tasks? As in coding tasks? That’s kinda the definition of artificial. If AI spawned naturally… that’s what wouldn’t be artificial.

Or is she referring to data labeling and forgetting the many non supervised areas of AI? (Not that labeling would make it less artificial)

Or is she suggesting that anything made from natural resources is natural… is anything not made from natural resources? The reason for artificial in artificial intelligence is to juxtapose against biological intelligence not speak to resource usage.

I think arguing on the ‘not intelligent’ front is fine but that’s just kind of a word game. The field seeks intelligence and is fine making stupid ai if it means better ai later. Unless she is getting into notions of a soul or some bs about consciousness in which case we have left the realm of science altogether.

Any way you slice it seems more like an inane point for making a headline than one for substantive discussion.
The American usage of "dollars" as a synonym for "money" when the topic is not specifically a dollar-using country is just nationalist bullshit.

Shareholders and employees are people. Corporate income taxes represent a form of double-taxation because shareholders are taxed on realized gains (in capital gains or dividends), and employees are taxed on income.

Moreover, capital gains taxes are lower than income taxes because they roughly account for inflation - capital gains are typically incurred on long-term appreciation on assets, and if you're holding something for, say, 10 years at 2% annual inflation you're talking about 21% inflation. So if you have a 21% capital gains rate and a 21% rate of inflation, your effective "tax" rate is really more like 42%.

This is one reason why higher corporate tax rates are generally considered to be a poor economic choice - additionally, corporations can relocate, restructure, and do all number of things to minimize taxable income, and are strongly motivated to do so as rates increase. So you don't even ultimately collect much in additional taxes this way.

Oh, and higher corporate tax rates also raise the price of the goods and services they produce, which is reflected in substantial cost-of-living increases for low and middle-income individuals. That's why it's good politics but bad economics to target corporate taxes in this way.

Political Concerns are inseparable from those things.

Judicial Concerns matter as well, and we don't just ignore the manslaughter of 10's of millions of people because of populist concerns over xenophobia.

If this were XYZ Corp. USA, and they killed 1 million Americans due to their lab accident - all of you (edit: 'all of us') would be screaming for life-sentences for the executives and a Trillion in damages for the victims, their families, and probably for a 'total overhaul' of relevant structures. And that wouldn't be political.
