Wow I kind of miss those reveal codes!

I had a boss back in early 00's that insisted on WordPerfect (even though it was already dying). So I learned it and never learned Word quite as well. (Mostly because I never took another job that required knowing an office suite well).
> They bought defective components.

The genuine chips can also be bricked by a very similar command sequence. Are they also defective?

> It is insane to blame the chip marker. They have a reputation to uphold. How can they be expected to continue operating if they not only have to compete with shoddy knockoffs, but basically support them with QA as well?

So refuse to operate with the fake chips. Bricking is unnecessary and deserving of blame.

And as the article points out, a chip that's merely compatible and not counterfeit might also get bricked.
If you don't have one of the modern tents described in the other comments, your best bet in windy and rainy weather is to minimize the space you're trying to keep dry to your belongings and yourself.

What I've done is put the tarp down, put my stuff in the middle, and a blanket for myself on one side, then fold it over in a way that water flows off. Then I take a nice long rest until the rain is over.

I try to treat real/physical Python objects as disposable. Everything in the runtime can be recreated from something else - be it a file on disk, a table in a DB, redis, a blob on S3, etc… and try not to put too much weight on the actual objects themselves. Modifying an object is really not something I ever do. I/O is dealt with elsewhere. I guess you could call it a hybrid approach of functional programming where objects are just used as structs that might have a few methods for synthetic properties.

For that reason I’m having a tough time seeing the use case for this. I could see it being useful with “bad” code that mutates things it shouldn’t… but can’t really think of a way I’d integrate this in an environment where I control most or all of the code.
Many people dislike commits that make changes to code that has no relation to the thing being done.
Well yes, because scientifically speaking we're fucked if we don't do something, and the current iteration of the economy incentivizes short-sighted thinking, not long-term survival and avoidance of unrest due to a resource crisis.

I've been scolded for using Breitbart or Tucker Carlson as a barometer for right-wing positions because they're claimed to be extreme, or 'alt-right', and not reflective of how real conservatives think or feel.
Beyond that different denominations celebrate very different Christmases. Compare midnight Mass of the nativity at a local catholic parish to the service at a local evangelical church to a mainline protestant church and they're very different.

Tomorrow a chinese manufacturer sells iPhone-clones.

Should Apple be responsible if these devices stop working after flashing the latest iOS update on them ?

Here you try to use a FTDI driver on a device that is not made by FTDI.

Seems like using a nVidia driver on a nVidio card.
It's not the problem of nVidia to make sure the driver is compatible with nVidio.
>LinkedIn told the Supreme Court that hiQ's software "bots" can harvest data on a massive scale, far beyond what any individual person could do when viewing public profiles.

That doesn't seem any different than when I registered a new business in my state. I did that online, and before I received the printed, mailed confirmation from the state I was getting credit card offers in the mail addressed to the business. I'm not glad how that played out, but I don't see any difference with hiQ collecting public information.
More context: they are in the (slow) process of shutting down servers one at a time and bringing them up running InspIRCd with new Anope services, with none of the old channel or nick registrations.
Cool, it will limp along barely maintained for an extra 2 to 4 years.
Static linking goes a long way to making Rust worth considering when choosing tools.

Anecdote: I once had to recover a system with a corrupted libpcre.so. This will break almost every standard gnutil. The easiest way to do it without a recovery OS was to use a few alternatives written in Rust, which don't have this problem because they statically link their dependencies (and cargo still worked, so it was easy to install them).
Scraping is inevitable. It seems like it exists in this grey area of a “hacky” accepted practice. I think it should be expected today. If it’s public, it’s public. Of course copyright applies, but day after tomorrow people will just run copy through a GPT-3-like scrambler or rephrasher or something and publish it anyways.

The reality is that anything public on the web will be able to be harvested and made use of —- sort of how it’s been and really how it should be.
I don't know that it would be worse than what I deal with now. I deal with very boring fee stuff for finance. The business is so slow and has no idea what they want. They also talk a big fame when it comes to modernizing and streamlining the process, but then always go with the status quo. I absolutely hate my job and can't wait to sign off everyday.
That logic only works if it breaks the chip by accident.

It wasn't an accident.

Yes, important to note that Microsoft is going after a competitor here; there are a bunch of data brokers that have been scraping LinkedIn for years and this is the case they're going after. I hope the Supreme Court can see through this BS and tell them to go pound sand.

(If Microsoft wanted to go after data brokers I'd be on board for that tho)
The reason people care is because balls in play are hitting historic lows and to many that is making baseball less exciting, and the league is worried about the fans losing interest.

This particular form of manipulating the ball is just too widespread and too effective and that is why the crackdown is happening.

Back when I was in elementary school, my favorite feature of Word Perfect was that it had a keyboard shortcut for opening a DOS command prompt. This allowed us to play hidden games after we finished our work without having to wait for the computer lab supervisor.
The pitch doctoring rule is an anachronism. It's a leftover from when they'd use the same ball until it was brown and falling apart. From before stadium lighting. They blamed the spitter for killing a guy who couldn't see it and banned it.

Of course, they didn't really ban it. They selectively enforce it. Joe West wants another headline, so he confiscates a dirty hat. And no umpire ever even raised an eyebrow at Mariano Rivera having some kayfabe ball trajectory that no one else does. It's a gatekeeping rule that allows the league to have another hand in who gets in trouble and who gets to excel.
If I ever have enough money to buy a house, I want a kitchen that's isolated anyway.

The headline is misleading. What is happening is that LinkedIn is using user data for its own benefit only and blocking innovation. As a LinkedIn user I want everyone to have access to the data I'm sharing publicly through the service.

I can't wait for entrepreneurs to take on LinkedIn. There are a lot of opportunities there.
Better than chance, so there is something there, but not super great so it's hard to say what is being measured.

After reading the paper it seems that the biggest takeaway is that animal neural structures are sufficiently similar to human neural structures that they can process some of the same stimuli in much the same way.

The other interesting thing for me is the possibility that you could modulate these signals for RF transmission (I do like SDR's after all) and with a cochlear implant, and SDR, a computer to receive the signals from the radio and feed them to your ear, and a rodent wearing a backpack to send the data. You could have a rat running around the place and the "operator" could listen in on whatever the rat could hear. NOTE: There are at least two, if not four decimal orders of magnitude of work needed to get to something like that if it is possible. Not the least of which is increasing the bandwidth/fidelity of the hearing interface.
Switching to MS Teams made me much more accepting of Google suite's deficits.

> Purely hypothetically, if there are string indications that parental socio-economic status influence the chances of their children. And that socio-economic status is somewhat (to strongly) correlated with previous race-influenced policies, is a generation or two of compensating for that "inflicting racial injustice"? Is a failure to compensate for it not explicitly "continuing racial injustice"?

This makes two assumptions that I would challenge: that affirmative action as it exists at present is benefitting the most socioeconomically vulnerable underrepresented minorities and that the problem you're describing cannot be tackled with race neutral wealth redistribution and other need-aware policymaking.

Also, if you want to go down the racial grievance accounting rabbithole, then the Irish, Japanese, Jews, etc would like a word as well. You're be hard-pressed to find a race that doesn't have some such claim.

If they do rule HiQ labs unable to scrape, can they also make sure ZoomInfo stops scraping LinkedIn profiles too?

I have seen people’s profiles scraped word for word and posted on ZoomInfo. And sold to salespeople who cold call you. Let put an end to this.
I've heard several theories for why inflation occurs, but one in particular fascinates me: expectations of inflation can themselves create inflationary conditions. If everyone expects prices to rise, it's easier for companies to justify price increases without too much risk. It's similar to the situation where companies may collude to raise prices, except this requires no coordination or ill intent. General expectations automatically coordinate behavior.

I wonder how much of an impact this would have compared to actual supply chain issues, increased money supply, and low interest rates. My expectation is that an efficient market would not permit this, since a single company could lower prices and succeed, but every market has inefficiencies.

MDMA for Severe PTSD: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Study
I taped all the exterior sheathing joints (including at the foundation with high-performance air-sealing tapes). Then I applied a fully adhered vapor permeable airtight membrane to the entire exterior sheathing surface, and caulked the wall/roof joint, which also provided redundancy for the joint taping.

The general contractor applied a secondary bulk water shedding house wrap, a rain screen, and the finish cladding.

There were other things I did internally during the drywall/plasterboard stage also to minimize air movement through walls and ceilings.

Linux kernel? Really? The whole point of that is to reuse code as much as possible.

Even for Windows, the point of getting things into Windows Update is to make hardware just work, not to advantage one company over another.

But sure, they can make a reasonable argument toward making the driver incompatible. (If they're also willing to hurt people that tried to buy genuine parts.) It still doesn't justify the bricking.

Your math is wrong. You cannot determine who to search in this way beforehand because you think a certain group might have more contraband or crime.

Aside from the trivial bypass you would introduce, that will additionally cause the survivor bias in your search statistics.

Adjusting some proportion of searches to one group or another in this way will ignore the types of people in the group. What works from NYC->Las Vegas will be absurd according to your logic when applied to NYC->Florida retirement communities. It is drugs or bombs? The results will also look different in both scenarios. The correct solution is screening.

I have news for you about drug smuggling, its the 21 year old who are caught. You should probably just let them have their MDMA.

It is all destined to be absurd, however; in the movie theater hypothetical, searching some percentage of 21 year old men is uselessly ineffective. What is the ratio of movie theater attendees to movie theater shooters? It's on the order of homeopathy. The logic and methodology in this is so tragically flawed.

> This kind of reasoning results in ... ineffective solutions (security theater)

Apple would have no problem bricking a fake iPhone that ran a cracked ios. They regularly try to lock in hardware components with software and firmware.

And in the case of a counterfeit low level component then they should.

If China wants to compete, then compete. If they are allowed to do this, legitimate companies will suffer and legitimate progress will stagnate. Just release the same chip open source with instructions for using it in this use case. Then when the legitimate company bricks the device, they look like the bad guy stifling competition.
Scraping for non-profit purposes feels fine. Scraping for commercial purposes feels dirty. I don't know if there's a way for the law to square that circle.

Any ideas how Microsoft wants to frame this so it becomes a partisan issue? Microsoft Legal can’t change the facts of the case, but presumably Microsoft PR wants to shape the narrative into one agreeable to the conservative majority on the court.

I have a feeling that regardless of the specifics, it will be a narrative where the little people lose and the big people get to keep playing. I would love to be proven wrong though.

If I’m right, it’s a stark reminder that Microsoft need only sustain its open-source friendly, developer-empowering persona as long as it’s convenient and rational. When there’s territory at stake, that veneer of friendliness begins to crack.

An amusing article. Only one way to really prove paternity, so pretty much he-said-she-said here. Some youthful pictures of Pierre would help show non-resemblances.

> A good way of omitting bad bots from the network is by verifying and tying the bot to the (verified) identity of a real person.

Is it?

I am much less charitable than you about whether Discord's bot verification is intended purely for user safety or whether it's a combination of laziness and a way of slowly clamping down control over how users access the service, how it can be extended, and what services/clients can interop.

I disagree that 100 servers is a particularly large number for a popular bot to join, but more importantly I think the threat model you describe illustrates a deeper problem with Discord overall. If the issue is that bots can sign up to Discord and just start talking to people, that's a permissions issue. Why can bots do that? And why is it OK for bots to keep doing that as long as they're in fewer than 100 servers?

So sure, we can have an extremely invasive form of verification, but we could also just... not let bots join random servers in the first place. We're jumping straight to real-life identification in a system that doesn't even support granular control over invites. In my opinion Discord's moderation and user-vetting tools are basically non-existent, so I am at least a little bit skeptical about whether verification is a completely necessary tradeoff between security and privacy.
In my neck of Europe those bikes reached peak popularity in the 90's and early 00's. We called them "city mountain bikes".

Their distinguishing feature was that a "mountain bike" comes with gears (normal bikes don't), which was very popular. The city edition came with fenders, luggage racks, a nice bell, stand, etc.

Big fat tyres, comfy geometry. The tires usually had a slick strip in the middle and grooves on the sides so you had slicks running on pavement and got massive grip turning on gravel.

As it got cheaper, they even started having front suspension.
