That's right, the transparency signature is not checked during installation. If you think somebody at Google might be out to get you and has all those powers and resources, there are many ways other than serving bespoke bundles, even with good old APK. Since they control the store and the system software that goes with it, they could download and save the original APK to give you some false sense of security, but apply a patch before extraction or code compilation. Or they could just crack the developer's signing key by using spare processing resources across their fleet, at least for anything comparable to RSA-1024 or lower. Those three attacks are theoretically feasible, but, I think, all equally hard to pull off without detection inside or outside the company.
So Equifax has a separate brand for this: TheWorkNumber. Technically each employee can opt out here: https://theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze In practice nobody knows that opt out exists.

To be fair employees do get ~some~ value out of this, in form of of less paperwork verifying their employment during mortgage and rental applications. It's a different question whether it's valuable enough with all privacy downsides.
Why not just write hateful or awful instead of odious?

Keeping Germany’s last six nuclear plant running and shutting down the coal-fired power plants Neurath, Niederaußem and Weisweiler minus a remaining capacity of 900 MW would save 70 million tons of CO2 per year which is about 10% of Germany’s total emissions annually.

> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kernreaktoren_in_Deu...

But I guess symbolism is more important than actually doing something that effectively reduces emissions.

So let’s introduce a speed limit and shut down all nuclear power plants, yay.

How to put a freeze on your employment data:

1- Head to https://theworknumber.com/view-my-data-sign-up

2- Create an account: you must create an account and make note of your account ID (that you choose yourself). You will be asked for it.

3- If you're curious, download your report (I did, it was interesting to know what they have on me)

4- Then go here https://theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/

5- You have the choice of using Email, Mail, or Fax, or you can call the number: 866-222-5880

6- I chose to call 866-222-5880

7- Press 1 for English

8- You will be presented with 3 options

9- Option 3 "To report a possible identity theft" is what you want

Someone will answer your call, ask your name, phone number, email address and finally ask why you are calling. Tell them "I'd like to put a freeze on my employment data". They will ask you for a reason; just say "It's personal".

You will be asked for your account ID and other information to verify your identity (they will ask your SSN).

Finally you will receive a text message with a code. You will give this code back to your interlocutor.

They will put a freeze on your data.

Just because it might be "in bad faith" doesn't make the argument wrong. A lot of subsidies are being pumped into EVs on the assumption that they're a net benefit to CO2 goals. If they are not, or if it is only true for specific models, then that needs to be accounted for.

> If a Tesla doesn’t amortize by some napkin analysis, neither would an electric bus

That's not a given, these are two quite different vehicles with quite different usage scenarios. A Tesla might not actually get a lot of mileage in its lifetime, whereas a commercial bus would get as much mileage as possible.

Having said that, even if it were true that electric buses also are a net negative on emissions, then the obvious answer would be that we shouldn't subsidize those either.
Do you consider legalising drugs as good for the society? Do you think drugs won't be advertised like how cigarettes and alcohol is being advertised. This is the price to live in a free society. You allow people to make their mistakes and live by its consequences.

Nearly nobody in Germany floors it all the time, because that's 250 km/h in a typical German car which is very tiring and inefficient. Much more typical that more than half drive 130 or less, a big group does 140 - 180ish depending on conditions and a tiny tiny group floors it all the time.

I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted, this is absolutely true on even just a semi-active Autobahn.

Well, my emotional life is at the very centre of my experience of the world, so it is kind of hard to ignore. Maybe it is self-centred to care about my emotions, but I have also learned that I’m a much better husband, father, and coworker when I’m happy than when I feel like shit.

Playing games with an attacker (2016)
I guess I find the being “not pro-exec” etc to be contradictory to: “ If someone can do what I do here in SV for half the price or less but do it just as well or even better but else where in the world, I don't feel how I'm entitled to my current salary.” That - to me - is pro-exec talk because at the end of the day… advocating for lower wages is going to go to no one except the execs.

I don’t mind having more people in software. I DO mind when people start advocating for lower wages. There is no reason to lower the wages. We need to rise everyone together - not pull people down from the middle class in the US. (Even $400k engs in USA are still overwhelming middle class because they are wage slaves as much as anyone else is)

It sounds like "we will bury them" all over again. Someone uses a carefully selected phrase that strikes a good balance of sounding strong without being overtly threatening, and then some translation strips all the nuance and everyone loses their minds. Reading the various translations in this thread give the impression that the intended meaning is something like "Anyone who would attempt to do so is gonna break their nose when they walk headlong into the brick wall of the Chinese people".
I personally think it is just symbolic to introduce a speed limit. It seems to be mostly about hurting people with expensive cars, so they cannot have fun with them anymore.

It does nothing. 0.3% does not help. It is optimizing towards a local maximum and does not bring us closer to the global maximum.

We need to get rid of the whole concept of commuting to work via car. We need to reduce commutes altogether significantly. We need to reduce ICEs and use electric vehicels fueled by renewable energy instead.

If we accomplish those three, the speed of the remaining vehicles will not matter at all. If we do not accomplish those things, we are screwed anyway.

Introducing a speed limit will just give people the same warm feeling of a reusable shopping bag full of products with plastic packaging. People just want to do something, even if they know, it will not save them. And if it hurts the "enemy" and makes them seem like the good guys, all the better.

>> i'm sure that any peasant from any period would happily sell his left arm to enjoy the privileges we all enjoy.

Not sure about that. Who would hire people with such low level of education? They'd have a miserable time living in tiny, dark apartments in big cities filled with noises, air pollution, drugs, with only mind-numbingly boring, repetitive jobs available to them with everyone around them acting fake, fake relationships, nobody would want to date them, nobody would want to be friends with them, etc... They would think we have all gone insane... And they'd be right. They'd be begging to go back to simpler times. Modern times are only better for rich psychopaths who don't value genuine human relationships. It's worse for everyone else.

I'm jealous of peasants from the middle ages. There were so few educated people back then. I suspect that very few people tried to better themselves; so if you did, you would quickly stand out. I bet it was far easier to feel a sense of fulfillment (I know my grandparents felt this way). Business was less competitive and, unlike today, everyone knew how to identify an intelligent person (teachers and books where hard to come by so you had to be very curious to become educated).

Nowadays a lot of educated people have 0 curiosity (the education system has turned into a factory) and these people are destroying the sciences.

People without curiosity see education merely as a tool to gain money and power and that's probably why we have such terrible tribalism today. Few educated people are interested in the truth these days. They prefer to use their knowledge to mislead and control people rather than to teach them and to learn from them.

I confirm, I havent bought one yet, but the other day I saw this laptop:

17 inches, a 144hz screen,GTX 1650, 512 GB SSD and space for 2 more!. You can add a 4 TB HD, a 1GB SSD, and change the RAM to 32 GB and get a monster machine for about 1200 USD.

With a Clevo (and other similar brands) you can have even more customization options, although I expect them to be more expensive.

> I've started to appreciate the religious outlook more that has a mature attitude to suffering rather than this honestly pretty childish avoidance of negative emotions.

People look at me like I'm nuts when I tell them (honestly) "I don't believe in happiness".

I mean that honestly. I believe in emotions like contentedness, elation, joy, jubilation, etc. Things that many consider 'happy'. But this notion of happiness as a permanent state of being. I've never experienced it or seen it. It does not exist. Those pursuing it have some religious attachment to it.

Moreover, even if I did believe in it, I am unconvinced of its utility or whether it's a worthy goal to pursue. Seems completely wasteful to me.

To do accurate and reliable HRV analysis you need a sensor (PPG/ECG/etc) that has a sampling rate of 500-1000 Hz minimum. This is especially the case for closed-loop. This is in order to do further calculations such as via respiratory sinus arrhythmia, to detect respiration rate.

“More conservative guidelines advise between 500 and 1000 Hz (Riniolo and Porges, 1997; Berntson et al., 2007), which may be particularly relevant in case of lower amplitude RSA (Riniolo and Porges, 1997).”

In terms of notable hardware you may want to look at this:

Anyways, this series of boards (biosignalsplux) interfaces with Android/iOS/Unity/etc via hardware-specific SDKs.

Obviously Unity is for SteamVR or just Steam in general.

The boards also have official support for the package LabStreamingLayer (there are also LSL interfaces for Unity on GitHub), which is extremely useful for the kind of work you are doing, with respect to calculations, processing, and analysis.

I actually routinely work with physiological signals generated from the autonomic nervous system, and I do both processing and interfacing sides of this work.

I believe this is the fastest way to become disillusioned with your support group unless you blatantly realize your only reason for friendship is transactional inspiration and a future reference for opportunity beyond socially bonding. I have a couple of mutuals who’re following this kind of thing and at least in my point of view, the rush for ‘things’ over the bond that makes us feel complete is making them pointlessly dismissive towards others, but the problem is they don’t like the outcome of “leveling up your friends” instead of simply just making more friends and acquaintances.

Maybe being a billionaire is not for me. If anything talking to my lazier friends helps me realize just how out of tune I am with my own low level wants. I wish I could just play video games all day and feel okay about it!
Interview with Gibson Biddle (Product Netflix, Chegg)
Yes it is a lot. Removing inefficiency from our system means everything including the stuff you love like driving fast without limit.
The argument is also just plain wrong though. Even if 100% of the power generation is from coal, it's still more efficient compared to individual petrol engines in cars. Large stationary constant (ish) speed fossil fuel generators will be more efficient than a bunch of little non constant speed petrol engines in cars.
Most residential zoned land is single family house exclusive. Allow development there and there's no need to knock down low income housing or sprawl over green space. But that's not the choice municipalities make.

The municipal financial argument doesn't hold water. Urban areas generate tax revenue beyond their cost of infrastructure.
Anyone* can own a US company, you don't need to be a US citizen. However this usually creates some legal headache since most countries have strict controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules. So if you are living in France and use a service like Strip Atlas, french tax authorities will probably make the case that the company is being managed from France and is therefore liable for french taxes on a corporate level.

* excluding embargoed countries etc.

> In some ways, the whole debate could be more civil if officers faces and voices were blurred.

Police have no expectation of privacy when performing their official duties, at least in the US, so that should be a non-issue. If they don't want to bring consequences unto themselves for what they're doing, then perhaps they should stop doing such things or think really hard about their chosen career path.

> After all, it's not really the individual officer who is at fault: it's the system that trained the officer, and the department policies that require officers to apply unreasonable force.

At some point you can't just blame "the system" and there needs to be individual accountability. Mayhaps if they like the lack of it and with less bodily risk, they could pursue politics instead.

I used to learn better on YouTube, probably circa 2010. I learned music theory, programming, electronics, photography, and skateboarding, all things that I still use and enjoy today, but this was way before the current eyeball-attention-hogging landscape where videos are replete with ads and sponsorships and regurgitated information that draws videos out twice as long as they really ought to be. I have no doubt that quality educational material is still out there, but the signal-to-noise ratio makes it so hard to sift through that it barely feels worth it.
