> Do American passports have all those things?

Some do. My driver's license is a also a passport card and has all of those except skin color.
Who would have thought a greentext would be so on-point.
It broke it in the sense that it removed a signal that would allow the service to distinguish legit users from possibly malicious ones. In the case of a legit user that has in the past always authenticated from an IP address or address block geolocated to say, Seattle, the service can look at any authentication attempt from elsewhere as anomalous and raise additional challenges.

However, with Relay, that signal is lost. Legit users and malicious parties become indistinguishable. The service can't tell if traffic from the relay is from a customer or an attacker.

What to do? Trust everything? Not good. Treat everything as potentially malicious? Safe, but makes the user experience worse.

To use your analogy, if you look through your peephole and can't tell if the person is your best friend or your worst enemy, how do you react? If you assume it's your best friend, you could be in trouble. If you treat the visitor like your worst enemy, you've pissed off your best friend.
I would like to have the option to close schools more selectively. In Poland every major surge of cases started roughly 3 weeks after schools were opened. Even if it was just opening of schools just for kids ages 7-9 while they stayed closed for all other kids.

I know it was only few instances and the same relationship doesn't hold for other countries, and also most recent school opening in the summer didn't cause the next wave for the first time. But I think in Poland where we don't party all that much those little unhygienic buggers share way larger portion of the burden than science could establish so far.
Sure, and I might not understand which app would be best here but I can tell an app can be helpful just like I can tell that a spray bottle can be useful in cooking even if I can't tell which would be the very best one or which cooking styles it will benefit the most.
I read it, and recall there being a bit more to it than that. For one thing—of many—the book treats extensively of debt as a kind of social glue, fundamental to human relationships & societies, which isn't compatible with: "see, debt is slavery and always has been."

One consistent problem I've had trying to take in criticism of the book (and I have looked for it!) is that it rarely seems to have been written by people who read the same book I did. It's bizarre.
How to Enable Stereo Mix in Windows 10
GC is very old concept. Nobody was ever prevented from using languages with GC. But as a whole we do not have to move. And frankly the dangers are overblown. My latest C++ product is of decent size and does not use a single explicit allocation. It is there though should I need it.
> national security letters and secret courts have no inertia and need no bipartisan consensus.

I would argue these have already met overwhelming bipartisan consensus over the past few decades (particularly since 9/11). Your average privacy nut (myself included) are not too happy about it, your average person knows nothing about it, but your average senator or governor is strongly in favor.

Americans quite like out-of-sight out-of-mind solutions to problems involving Bad People, even unsavory solutions like mass spying or drone killings. The moment that the national security powers for example start blocking porn or video games, consensus and acceptance would instantly disappear.

What a bizarre comment. Someone describes Haiti's revolution accurately (presumably), and your claim is "how dare you prioritize reality over mythology", using the (also-incorrect) American founding myth to somehow support your point?
Graeber was a good writer but a bullshit merchant, and that sentence is his oeuvre's purest distillation: It sounded good and right to him when he wrote it, so nobody bothered to check if it was true or not.
it just feels like often we don’t have a solid (falsifiable, etc) grasp of what’s actually happening, yet…

It feels like that, because it is like that: there's probably way more which isn't known about the brain yet, than things known with a decent amount of certainty. Just skimming over recent papers in the fundamental area, a lot of that summarizes as 'So here we found that area A is connected to area B and modulated when things happen in C, so attributes to function D. But way more research needed, and unsure what this means in relation to E and F'.
Chlorine in the water provides disinfection all throughout the pool, this is very desirable when you have a pool. Imagine you see someone's bandage floating next to you in the water! Do you want to wait for the water to be pulled through the filtration system to get cleaned up? It typically takes a pool pump many hours to bring the full volume of the pool through the filtration system.

By having the disinfection agent spread through the pool, any bacteria or other contaminant will be acted on immediately. Algae is another big problem in many pools. Oftentimes there is some corner of the pool (or ladder, etc) that will harbor a little bit of algae that is waiting to take over the rest of the pool. Having chlorine dispersed through the water is very effective at preventing algae. Also, shocking the pool water with high levels of chlorine is oftentimes needed to keep the algae under control.

The common approach for making a pool need less daily maintenance is to get a salt water chlorine generator. A small amount of chlorine is generated by running an electrical current through electrodes. The electrodes need to be replaced every so often. Liquid chlorine is generally considered to be cheaper, but requires a lot of diligence because the chlorine dissipates pretty quickly.

I've seen hot tubs that use ozone for disinfection but not pools. I'm not sure what makes it a reasonable choice for hot tubs but not pools. Ozone would disperse through the water like chlorine, but it dissipates even more quickly.

One more interesting tidbit I picked up alone the way: the chlorine smell in a pool is not from the free chlorine. Free chlorine is what's available for disinfection. After a free chlorine molecule bonds to it's target, it's called combined chlorine. Combined chlorine is what is responsible for the nasty smell in pools. The solution for combined chlorine is to add dd more free chlorine!
I had a crazy idea about neurons that I'll share here, because why not?

What if each time a neuron sends a signal to another neuron the potential required for that connection decreases slightly? So the next time there's an action potential between neurons it's more likely to go where it has already gone. In other words, frequent connections make that same pathway more readily traversed. Could it be that a memory is simply a new signal traveling down a 'worn path'?

I realize that there needs to be some way for this resistance change to be reset over time, so is it possible that dreams serve the purpose of writing somewhat random data, like wear leveling or trimming on an SSD?

This is just pure speculation and I have "Hello World" levels of knowledge about neuroscience. But hey, it's fun to speculate, right?
This problem is an American problem - the only places that seem to not have affordability problems are the areas that are shrinking. Name any town in the US that experiences even slightly above average growth and you'll also find some sort of affordability issues. My $0.02 is because local residents have entirely too much control over building and zoning rules, and their interest are always such that they rationally oppose new developments.

Given the fractured nature of building and zoning laws in the US, the only long term solution I see to this is state or federal level zoning requirements coupled with a slowdown of monetary stimulus and/or restrictions on non-resident purchases of properties for renting.
Third-party code comes with some baggage

Your comment is silly.

In the European theater, Germany did firebomb areas of Britain, so it wasn't just Allied behavior.

And Japan not only started war with the US, they were literally anti-Geneva Convention - they passed a law to execute American captured airmen.

The laws specifically mention "at rest". Where your traffic goes while in flight is not regulated. Legally, the US service can't grab and store your data, but that doesn't mean they can't analyze and use your data as it flows through.
This is the exact opposite of my experience: it’s the techies who want to fix San Francisco and the longtime residents who shriek that nothing is wrong and how dare you even suggest we need to change anything you racist.
Yeah, that’s the biggest issue, IMO.

Even a simple app with only React as a production requirement will have dozens of issues a month.

There are some packages that don’t have as many dependencies such as Typescript or Prettier, but that’s not enough, since the most popular bundlers have hundreds of of dependencies.

No matter how careful you are, you get flooded by security issues.
Who brought the black Haitians to Haiti? Did they stay there voluntarily during white European rule?

Details matter.
What lotsofpulp and Judgmentality describe pretty much covers it.
Note at the beginning it handles overflow conditions.

Funny how these pioneers wrote bulletproof raw machine code and assembly, while today we have a slew of code analysis tools and "safe" programming languages, but everything still crashes six ways from Sunday.
One pretty simple solution seems to be enacting common-sense laws prohibiting turning zoned housing into rental properties - I’m not sure if the state govt. would ever do it though.

My other proposal would be to enact laws against buying a home and not living in it, but again, not sure how legal/morally right to prohibit property ownership just like _that_
Accurate. I have said basically this a number of times. And I am from the US.

I'm not exactly sure what the writer's thesis is? They get stuck on a specific school in New Jersey for a while, but overall it doesn't seem like there's a huge cause for concern.

They also cite the increase in graduation rate in the entire U.S. as a cause for concern (i.e. grade inflation), but then narrow in on New Jersey's state-specific standardized tests as proof that students are not learning enough to graduate.

I'd disagree with a lot of the proposed solutions, as well. They recommend we "expand school days and the school year." However, my current understanding is that Montessori models, etc. are highly effective, and a lot of the European countries with fantastic educational outcomes emphasize less time in school. How we teach [and especially student's outside-of-school lives, though that's much harder to influence] seems like a much clearer avenue for improvement than just having them sit in the same desks for a couple thousand more hours overall.

Also, as a personal gripe, I found the whole educational system miserable enough as it was. I was already flirting with the idea of dropping out without adults expanding my already-unnecessarily-packed schedule.
investors will get burned and be more hesitant to pour more gasoline on the fire

that defintely makes sense, but from what i hear we are in a glut of cheap capital in recent times, so this might not be so effective deterrent

What company has had long term success with this model

im not sure it needs to be long term sustained, as long as short term damage is severe enough, the player can just harvest the market share from the competition... when it heats back up again, just use that financial might again to clamp things down... it would be a huge deterrent to further investors/entrepreneurs
It turns out that America is a big place with many school districts. They are not all teaching from the same books.
Sure but - the hard part - transferwise had to build a pool of people - can be done in days in crypto now.
Because our phone companies are 99.97% marketing. They're constantly trying to market deals and segment their market. So today it just so happens to be 120GB cheap. Next week it might be extortionately expensive. When 5G first came out it was ridiculously expensive to get decent data caps, but I would assume that they now have excess capacity and so they're trying to compete with some other competitor at that price point.
Krebs tends to have some really strong and insightful infosec articles. I don't think we should throw out the baby with the bathwater.

Or, put differently, I don't think his offenses are bad enough to 'cancel' him.
I have a vague recollection that “nothing sucks like a vax” was a parody and never the vacuum cleaner’s slogan. A cursory google search doesn’t pull up anything authoritative and it seems like most of the claims that the vacuum cleaner people used it are all worded nearly identically. The photocopied afi saw back in the 80s was too on the nose to be really believable, feeling an awful lot like the mouse balls memo.
Thanks, I was already searching for what the opcodes meant.

From my understanding, the current approach is basically the idea that if you put a bunch of neurons in a room, it eventually starts questioning the universe

It really lacks nuance
This is the thing, not all projects are super giant web applications being maintained by hundreds of front-end developers. For a dummy like me who curses at the laptop every time he needs to center a div and whose style sense pretty limited, tools like tailwind are a bless. I do a small library of components, copy what people who knows more than me does (taking examples from here https://tailwindcomponents.com/) adapt them to my needs and that's it. I dont have neither the skills, nor the time or the inclination to spent time on other alternatives. I like the style (more than bootstrap) and I am willing to pay the price of a cluttered html.
Slightly less typing (compared to CSS), pre-defined memorable names, good documentation and a library of examples.

It's just convenient, that's it. Ideologically I don't like it; for getting work done, it's nice.

Theoretically you could achieve much of it in a "more correct" way, but we don't have the resource to do that in our company and ultimately it wouldn't be much of a value-add. Tailwind saves time.
There is no truly free market anywhere anyway which isn't relevant to any conversation. And besides, you're demonstrating the point - the government already intervened. So there's no reasonable criticism of the free market to be had here, in fact, without government intervention there would be new and additional construction.

Anyway.

The government is made up of the citizens, it's their choice isn't it? At what point does that no longer become true? And if they've made their choice to not build more housing, then the market dynamics that follow that decision will come to bear. In this case maybe it's no stores or shops, or the citizens will have to pay extremely high prices for things.

The joke's on you! I was taught world history in high school and never American history.

The "American" studies class was about the Constitution, various laws, major Lobbying groups (ACLU, NAACP, FOP, NRA), how primaries work, etc. etc. American history was left to grade school.
Just a note, the fire management techniques were employed by indigenous people to mimic how the world already worked with natural fires. Your not wrong in saying it was a technology but it was not the cause of the current situation as they did not practice that tech long enough to impact the ecosystems reliance on it.
All the species in that environment already relied oh fires. Small example, sequoia trees who's seeds only germinate after a fire. This evolution occurred millions of years before indigenous peoples where even around. Not to take away from the brilliance of the tech but it was discovered from how the world already worked it did not create a new niche.
A failed state is one which has lost an effective monopoly on violence over part of its claimed territory. Stable, functional states have occasional illegal violence but the state security forces are still fundamentally in control. But in Mexico there are large regions under de facto control of organized crime where the official government has been evicted.

It depends on your threat model. The simplest analysis assumes that the attacker knows how you are generating your password.

There are 36^16 possible passwords with the first scheme. I don't know how you generated the second. One way of doing it would be to generate all valid Finnish syllables and select randomly from that. If the number of possible syllables raised to the power of the number of syllables in your password is greater than 36^16, then it's more secure.
The American healthcare system is quite fucked. Proponents are typically profiting from it directly, have no idea what things are like in other places, or suffering Stockholm syndrome (and lack access to medical care to treat it).
France had maybe 10% of the actual battle losses, relative to the Americans, and less than 1% of the total war-related deaths, which includes disease and starvation.

The title is "Broken by Design". Then the author proceeds to explain how the design is actually reasonable and meant to work ok, and how the problem lies in the relevance and context of the vulnerabilities reported.

That doesn't seem to be the meaning of "broken by design".

So currently the algorithm is... check (dev)Dependencies and descendent/transient dependencies to see if they exist in a security advisory database if they do, highlight and surface them to the user.

What are alternatives? A way to ignore or mark a dependency as safe? Could this be abused if an author can just mark a dependency as safe?

Or perhaps, actually analyze syntax with a tool like ESLint (parse -> AST -> validate) to check that dangerous parts of libraries are not in use? This solution comes with it's own complications. Who is authoring these validations?

Perhaps there are other strategies I'm not aware of.
Electric vehicles to dominate sales five years sooner than expected–EY analysis
Interesting. I had an assembly course taught on a VAX system in 2001. At the time, I had the impression it was because the instructor had access to it and felt it was of historical significance. I wish I could remember more about the experience.

Acq/rel are nonsense on x86, worse than a NOP. It compiles down into nothing.

x86 cannot specify a load/store any more relaxed than total-store ordering (which is even "stronger" than acquire/release)

ARM / POWER9 were originally "consume/release". But upon C++11, the agreement was that consume/release was too complicated, and acquire/release model was created instead.

Java was the granddaddy of modern memory models but focused on Seq-Cst (the strongest model: the one that makes "sense" to most programmers). C++ inherited Java's seq-cst, but recognized that low-level programmers wanted something faster: both "fully relaxed" and acq/rel as the two faster ways to load/store.
Even their mobile site and app has become more hostile and laden with dark patterns.

At this point, I can't even treat Reddit like a collection of community forums anymore... They make it impossible to read a thread when you come in from a Google result (unless you know the cheat code, change www in the url to old) and their content filtering is something out of a dystopian novel written by a schizophrenic bot. Trying to find any specific piece of info? Good luck.
Entire GDP of Haiti was ~14 billion last year. Seems like the entire nation could be stood on its feet if world nations provided a grant of ~100 billion. Very important it be a grant and not a loan. A lot of money for sure but not that much in the grand scheme of things. If that money is administered by non corrupt foreign entities and spent on infrastructure you could have a brand new country in a decade.
The same reason we don't get too hung up on American soldiers slaughtering SS officers after liberating concentration camps. Two parties can both be in the wrong while at the same time one is way more in the wrong.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

I don't think anyone's claiming that "biological sex is a spectrum", but some people "do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies". Some are born with ambiguous external genitalia, but there are also people who look completely female while having male (XY) chromosomes. Since various distinct medical conditions are involved, it doesn't make sense to call it a "spectrum" even from a medical point of view.
If we thought it was worth forcing people to move the problem could be solved without creating a bunch of new ghost cities, there's already a LOT of undesirable cheap places.

But forced relocation is not something you're gonna get many people on board with.

Or if a JS frontend takes in input that comes from other users-- something like forum post titles or content.

The problem with that methodology is that the cheapest plans in terms of cost/month are actually likely to be the most expensive in terms of cost/GB.

If a service provider offers a $20/month plan with 500 MB of data, their $40/month plan will almost certainly offer a lot more than 1000 MB. The cheapest plans are usually designed specifically for people who don't plan to use a significant amount of data.
