I believe if you already have an oculus account you don’t need Facebook, but I think if you are starting fresh you need a Facebook account.

I have one not hooked up to Facebook, but I’ve had it for a while. There are a few “social features” that don’t work, but it still browses the web and plays oculus store content. With the link cable you can play steam games too. It won’t stay that way forever - 2022 I think.

You’re better off looking for something else if you don’t want Facebook. I am hoping Valve has something by then.
Yes, but at the very least, the original owner of the phone can sign in with their iCloud credentials and unlock the phone, which will allow them to also remove Find My iPhone and sign the phone out of iCloud.
The video, and the write-up (https://next-hack.com/index.php/2021/06/12/lets-port-doom-to...) seem to be unavailable.
I appreciate that definition.

In this scenario, however, we're going for the Wikipedia or original meaning of blockchain:

"A blockchain is a growing list of records, called blocks, that are linked together using cryptography."

The only use we have for this technology is the growing list of records linked by cryptographic hashes. We are not interested in consensus algorithms and they don't form part of our system.

The blockchain aspect of our product isn't any pixie dust. It isn't even necessary. Think of it like power windows. We don't sell the car because it has power windows.

Many users of our software (the powerful, pixie dust part being our MSL language) won't give a whit about blockchain and we don't sell or emphasize it on our website.

So I see where you're coming from, but in this case, we're coming from a little bit different place.
Fun take and it really points to one of the problems of making species distinctions.

The very nature of evolution on macro organisms is very gradual changes.

Reminds me of the futurama joke around the "missing link"[1].

Can confirm, mostly dealt drugs to be cool. Way too much risk for almost no reward. Was an idiot and thought I was contributing to the culture but after leaving the game I still get questioned if I'm a cop and get no respect from the paranoid dealers where I moved to. I thought we were a society :(
Yeah not to sound like a "deep" 15 year old but I think being able to function in our modern society is much more unnatural than the behaviors associated with ADHD. But since is the society we're in, having it really is a disability.

TL;DR: "we live in a society"
The reordering feature looks exactly like how I'd want it. It's a feature I haven't found in any other client. I've stuck with gitk until now, but this might just make me take a look at GitHub Desktop.
The problem is they are also most often adopted by highly informal organizations. In this environment CoCs are most often tools to for the project leaders to carry out personal vendettas rather than equal enforcement of the code.
What margins and volumes on the Y, CyberTruck, and Model A, FSD subscriptions are you using in that calculation for 2025?

I removed the analysis as I contributed effort to the wrong person, which invalidates my argument.
(+ 1 “1”) is not a type error for CLJS, because it’s not a type error for JS. Clojure is designed as a hosted language and it shares all the basic types and operations with the host platform.

Nice hypothetical for some political ethics class, but nothing to do with what actually happened. Assange wanted to influence the US election, specifically, to defeat Clinton and elect Trump. He worked with the Trump campaign and the Russians to do everything within his power to make that happen. Meanwhile, Wikileaks was provided with leaked Trump campaign emails and refused to release them, claiming it wasn't important to do that.

To portray this as an difficult decision for poor Assange is just absurd. He made clear in his own emails, his entire goal was to bring down Clinton. She lost the election for many reasons, including Assange's efforts but also a very poorly run campaign and many bad decisions on her own part.
A related way of thinking of these might be legible Vs illegible.

Legible risks are mostly "heuristic 1." They can be measured, quantified, discussed in discrete terms. You can be yelled at over legible things, like ignoring stranger danger on a subway. It's harder to yell about nuance.

Illegible things are less discrete. The consequences, some hard to describe, many unknown, of growing up without freedom and self reliance. There are dangers here too, but they're more nebulous.

It's hard to justify, externally, a trade-off between illegible gains like building a personality and legible dangers like kidnapping. Hard, but not impossible.
Riding the subway is far safer than being driven in a car.

Most drug dealers I know just do it to achieve a lifestyle they wouldn't normally be capable of with their existing job(s).
That's why I said "perception". People believe kids are going to get kidnapped or murdered, even though the crime statistics don't bear this out, therefore they don't think knocking on a random door is OK anymore.
Where do you live where that"s free?
> Adichie is transphobic

Maybe we can start by defining exactly what it means to be "transphobic", so we can decide both:

1) whether someone is or not transphobic;

2) how bad it is to be transphobic.

So how do you define "transphobic"?
The reason is more technical than that. For a long time the Fed has had a target of 2% PCE inflation (which is a bit higher than 2% CPI inflation), but in the past decade it’s averaged 1.5% or so. This damages central bank credibility, a very important asset for monetary policy. Thus, policymakers are comfortable running 3% or so PCE inflation for a while to try and bring up the long run average to the 2% stated target.
I think you must not have interacted with him much, or have not talked with people who know him more closely.

I was explicitly advised to avoid applying for my PhD at Northeastern unless I had incredibly thick skin to withstand the way he berates his students. So I didn't apply — I'm not signing up for that.
And if you don't want to or can't install noscript, you can use my little hack https://noscript.it/ to view a page without javascript.

Note that it is a hack/poc and does not always work, especially the x-frame-detection is iffy so if you try it and just see a blank page try the "enable proxy" checkbox.
I use it every now and then on iOS to get around some especially obnoxious JS, but if there were more users I would be more motivated to improve it (hint hint:-)
If inflation is good or bad depends on where you are in life.

If you just bought a house that is just barely affordable, then you want massive inflation because your house payments won't go up with time, while inflation means you get large raises. Even if your raises don't keep pace with inflation, (they often don't catch up for a few years), after just a couple years you are still way ahead because your largest cost of living is staying still.

By contrast, if you are retired your probably get a lot of your income from fixed incomes that won't go up over time. As such you end up having less and less worth to spend every month.

There are a lot more situations, and everyone is in a different situation.
The author sounds whiney tbh. Why type all of that?

The upstream blog post is definitely better for avoiding the derails repeating rants about systemd:

https://github.blog/2021-06-10-privilege-escalation-polkit-r...

polkit is a separate daemon which is not just used by systemd so this is interesting from the perspective of whether similar problems might affect systems which don't use systemd:

I guess apps that have “core functionality” would be exempt, so the apps you mention would probably be allowed to be preinstalled. Or, Apple would have to allow users to choose which apps they install, kind of like how it works in Russia right now.
My optimistic take is that advanced civilizations capable of travelling the galaxy don’t spend their time hanging around planets and stars for the same reason we no longer hang around caves and fire started by lightning. They’ve mastered fusion and matter transmutation so they just build their own habitats and energy sources wherever they want.

Oh and how /bin/bash is bash3 on macOS instead of the contemporary bash5 by default. And how sh is dash on Debian, or Ubuntu, I forgot. Some of the reasons why I would prefer python3 scripts (or perl) over sh or bash
I'd assure those workers that soon their dream will come true. Today the corporations put DEI into a shoebox, give it a token attention and call themselves complaint. Very soon it will be DEI who will manage corps from outside, as gov regulators.
I understand.

If I could hurt the Bad Guys, I would consider it. But from my reading of the popular press, many of the workers are victims too.
Thanks! How would an attestation work with a fraud. For example, suppose a company simply produced a false bank statement.

Would an attestation have no ability to verify that the statement was fraudulent? In other words we must trust the entity undergoing attestation in order to rely on the attestation, and the attestation merely certifies there is no error of math or logic in what was presented.
To be serious, the Apollo testing was a combination of manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. You could program tests into the minicomputer and trigger them with a "start" button in the control room. The computer would carry out the steps for the test, check for parameters that were out of bounds, and display these on a CRT in the control room. Meanwhile, you could see other parameters on the gauges and chart recorders. So it was more advanced than you might expect.

It replaced a system where you'd radio a guy at the rocket and tell him to switch things on and off, and he'd tell you what happened. Needless to say, that was pretty unreliable.
"The only work­able tactic was to distance your­self"

No. You stand up for yourself and call out the dick. He attacks you and you haven't even presented yet. When you are right, don't let bullies bully.
Whatabout those other flawed journalist? Well, they're flawed. But Wikileaks, high standards? You must have missed the exposes in The Intercept of how they were actually working in 2016!
They didn't announce it.

The projected rate increase is the result of the dot plots, which is the assessment of both governors and regional members of the FOMC. It is not binding and it serves merely as a projection.

If you watch the press conference, you can tell how annoyed Powell is at constantly having to answer questions stemming from what the dots show.
FWIW, Matthias is known for being especially egregious in this respect even among other academics. But you absolutely have a point about there being a problem endemic throughout the profession.
Housing costs are strongly affected by the availability of cheap money. Housing prices are kept in check when mortgages are more expensive.
Ironically, we're on a thread discussing Assange, who ran Wikileaks, which published (often cryptographically verifiable) source information. The editor of that publication has been locked in prison indefinitely. So if you're having trouble distinguishing trusted information, you might think that the solution extends beyond "responsible journalism."
For somebody selling fact checking, misquoting Twain is almost unforgivable! The correct quote should have been, "Reports of my (blockchain's) death have been greatly exaggerated." My bad.

Apparently, misquoting Twain is popular itself[0]. I only mentioned it in humor so I hope this wasn't taken as a slam in any way. Twain is an ancestor of mine and was famous for pithiness.

I recently transitioned a number of tables over to views as part of a data model rearrangement and I absolutely loathed my previous self that leveraged that primary key trick. I don't think there is anything unsafe about them choosing to transition to allowing any column singularly defined as a unique index for the table to serve this role and it'd help make things a fair bit more logical.

That all said, until that happens, I'd strongly suggest avoiding that functionality since it can lay down some real landmines.
Do you think that this device was entirely bespoke or do you think that the designers adapted another design (perhaps a commercial product)?

Nope. But thanks for the offer ;)
> May I suggest a slightly different approach: satisfy your wife by following, secretly, your child

Suspect they already trust their child enough to not need to follow her at all. She's capable. The concern is unforeseen events outside the child's control such as irresponsible drivers, bullies, or worse. None of which is any less likely to happen after you stop following the child.

They're not likely to ever happen, and the child's independence is probably worth the risk, but there's no way to ever completely eliminate those risks or put your mind completely at ease about it.
I don't know enough about this particular situation to have an educated opinion.

But in my experience with these kinds of situations, people often misconstrue and sometimes even knowingly misrepresent them not because a rational reason to fabricate them, but just because of one or the other irrational psychological reason to do so. People are not rational, and the mere fact that they wouldn't get anything doesn't mean that they would do it.
It alone is not a silver bullet for ZTA, but authn and authz are critical components of ZTA. Most are not good at auth*, should not roll their own, and absolutely should delegate to a service that provides this functionality (commercially, you see this with Okta and Auth0, for example).
One fascinating feature of some old computers like the 8-bit Commodores and Ataris are the intelligent peripherals. The computer wouldn’t need to wait for IO operations as long as the data would fit in the peripheral’s buffers.

TrueNAS exposed me to FreeBSD jails but what put me off is that there does not seem to be an equivalent of "docker build".

Jails seem to be treated like OpenVZ containers in the Linux world: a lighter alternative to virtual machines, not a way to build and distribute applications like Docker.

This is just my take after playing a few hours with jails, I would happily be proven wrong.
> As someone who doesn't know much about economics, I never assumed that a monopoly would be merely defined as a cost-based analysis of corporate products.

That's new! Borkism! The terms of anti-trust were redefined in Reagan's time by Robert Bork, an appeals court judge & attorney general under Nixon (and failed Supreme Court nominee, thank the stars).

Cory Doctorow had a bunch of threads on this shift on what anti-trust is. I think this modern re-definition is incredibly incredibly important, at the crux of what happened to let the competitiveness in the US collapse, to allow giant monopolies & this acquisition culture to form. I guess the main thread is [1]. There's also discussion on Klobuchar's trust-busting desires[2], and NY attempting some reform[3], and some other mentions, all of which mention Bork & this recent narrowing re-definition. The last starts off with a discussion of Kahn's Anti-trust Paradox, ha!

This very much feels like a root cause, of how America became utterly ineffective at regulating anti-trust behavior & monopolies: limiting the definition of what it would consider to cost-based analysis of corporate products. Unbelievably limiting view, huge screw up.

Yeah. "Right ideas are often unpopular" is not logically the same as "unpopular ideas are usually right".
yeah, but for the cost of 1 tomahawk you could launch 100,000 ish kamikaze drones. Maybe 10,000 if we made them more sophisticated and a bit larger. And if the maths work out that a tomahawk is cheaper than a tank, then there's room to increase those numbers. The maths really favour drones on this.

And the infrastructure is so much easier - the tomahawk needs a specialist launch vehicle, that is in turn vulnerable to being spotted and attacked. Drones need a backpack and a bluetooth connection (for each 100 drones or so).
I think by "manipulations" the parent's implication is, manipulation to some purpose, as in to fabricate support for some political or philosophical belief. It's so common to manipulate reality for the purpose of entertainment that we have a fairly benign term for it: poetic license.
Glad you enjoyed it :)

I'm not into purebred dogs myself, just heard about this. One other thing that breeders must do is periodically "refresh" the gene pool. In order to do this they track down other breeders with dogs/cats of the same breed but with distant lineage (so usually in another country) and buy an animal. I've heard stories of an inexperienced breeder buying a puppy whose parents actually came from a kennel in the same town (and of course paying a ton to import said dog). You can imagine how much this new regulation is going to hurt the gene pool of the purebreds.
Well, there’s this (which is clearly trying to push an agenda but is apparently accurate): http://mass-shootings.info/

But it depends on your definition. Certainly the big, intentional “I’m going to kill everyone and then kill myself,” style shootings largely seem to be done by white men.

I told my wife the other week someone should really start an organization that brings gang members to shooting ranges. If they could actually hit their targets a lot less innocent people would die. We recently had three children in a week or so get shot in Minneapolis, all just bystanders.
Personally, I think trying to understand why the dynamic is occurring is more helpful. Sure, sometimes people are just assholes and need a dressing down, but more often things are a bit more complex - they should still be confronted about their behaviour, but just giving them a lashing may not help the situation compared to talking through why they are acting that way.
Understood. Credibility derives from whether or not the people who receive information like it or not.
Its hardware is also much simpler than the Amiga’s.
So, delegating both responsibility and power to people with an agenda (because those are the only ones to step up when they get formal power, in addition to or rather than just informal responsibility), rather than adopting practices of de-escalation that everyone is responsible for? Paring down non-constructive and non-called for should be the responsibility of everyone in the room and not a special distinct set of people.

I'm all for training project members (i.e. people who are involved in organizing conferences or summer schools) in practical techniques for better organizing the community, and I think holding everybody responsible leads to better results than having activists with an agenda write the rules and just delegating authority to them.
Shit my BAD! I'll update my post to correct things.
Half joking take : what "saved the world" (the deal is hardly done, unfortunately) was a mix of technology, incredible dedication, and vast amount of printed money.

Would medtechs have succeed if they were not sure governments would pay "whatever it costs" for vaccines ? Not sure.

Would people have paid Disney+ without government help funds? Maybe less.

2020 was probably better handled than 2008 here.

However, I'm conviced the healthcare workers would have made their insane efforts no matter what the policy ; and the governments might have failed them so far. We'll have to do better for them next time - they saved the day, in the end.

So, now covid 19 is on the list of examples (like Manhattan, Apollo, etc...) where "printing unlimited amount of money to have dedicated people solve a problem" worked.

When do we start doing that on climate change ?

Ha, yes, actually it was almost exactly like that. With a concerned look, "I think I saw your boy over on [street] and thought I'd better let you know". Was he playing in the road? Getting in the way of traffic? Stomping on flowers? Otherwise behaving like a jack-ass? Nope, just there. OK, uh, thanks for telling us.

Well intentioned and mostly just amusing. At least no-one called the authorities when they realized we weren't planning to confine our kids to the yard or accompany them on every idle play-outing all damn Summer.
One's measure of these VCs changes quite distinctly when you change from viewing them through the prism of leaders of the industry to viewing them as self-interested marketeers acting as gatekeepers of a subset of wealth with the express purpose of their working role as the endeavor of inflating their own wealth.

They haven't gone hungry in quite some time, and it's really been showing more and more as time goes on and their memories of when they started out are fading.
That's encouraging to me as I feel that those are areas in which I've done well. I guess I get the most value out of staying up to date on the newest tools by knowing when NOT to use them.
> the project has just decided that they are better off with him regardless of his assholeness than they are without him.

A CoC is at least in theory a commitment to not make such a decision.
This is absolutely the key point, and the one that all the discussion here is missing. Nobody defends Matthias' behavior, they just suggest that you should tolerate or ignore it. The reason is clear when you realize that "the Racket community" is more-or-less analogous with "Matthias' academic descendants." The people who are working on Racket as a language owe immense professional debts to Matthias.

"Bots", i.e., clients that are not graphical browsers running Javascript, never have to see ads. "Bots" do not get tracked; they generally do not run Javascript or store cookies. Users do, generally. This is because users generally agree to run company-sponsored browsers that, whether intentional or not, use default features and settings that cater to web advertising and tracking. Thus, if the objective is to avoid ads and tracking, so-called "bots" must be doing something right. That is the point being made here.
They're mostly accurate. You can take a look at levels.fyi as well.
