Is it so hard to believe that someone who's been publicly exposed as an odious pedophile and sex trafficker in week after week of mainstream national news coverage, and who knows he's likely to be in prison for life this time, might kill himself? Plenty of people probably had a motive to kill him, including other inmates, but he had clear means, motive, and opportunity to do it himself.
Would you trust an app on your phone, that you suspect is rooted with malware?

If Pegasus knows these "on device malware detection" apps exist, they'll just add them to the list ion things their malware (which runs with significantly more privileges than an app you download from the app store) modifies/breaks/circumvents.
After reading through the user guide [1], I found that it does have decent (although not super clean) object model and the all SO-suggesting cryptic APIs are Huffman-encoded shorthand. With the right mental model, Matplotlib became much less intimidating than what it originally was. So, I'd suggest you RTFM if you found it funky.

I'm mostly using Altair instead these days since my data is mostly tabular, but Matplotlib still maintains a position in my toolbox and helps me when I need some dirty (or creative) visualization that is tricky with Altair.

And to be honest, I occasionally miss Matplotlib's dense API when I'm fed up with the verbosity Altair has. Yes Altair code is more readable, I agree with the proposition, but being quick and dirty can be lovely sometimes.

We had geiger counters at all time on us. The most radioactive areas were a buried village, the sand under the douga that was used to wash it, and a can filled with garbage in Pripyat (which was by far the most radioactive things). Probably some kind of trap? Or a form of sculpture?
Now that walking robots are a reality, I'm anticipating when someone produces a set of bolt on legs for a Jeep, for real all terrain capability.

I think there's a pretty big difference between "your messages can be intercepted and arbitrarily modified by anybody who has any access to any router or server between one of your devices and the Telegram server" and "your message security is the security of the Telegram servers only".
It's just like any other connection. You can think of the wifi links just replacing a cable. If NYC Mesh are linking through fibre installed at various buildings around town then yes, anyone with access to that router could snoop. In Germany, the Freifunk mesh project solved this problem by routing through VPN tunnels: https://pinneberg.freifunk.net/en/faq

Neither am I. I'm in the same approximate income. My car and motorcycle are both 2002s. My computers I upgraded this year and last year, but previously were 2011 and 2013. Phone is an iPhone 7 with broken screen and camera. I put an effort into conserving. But you're not who I was making a point to, and coming in, with no other posts in this discussion, and pointing out that you conserve everything I tried to allegorically illustrate as common wastes comes across as... weird? rude? I don't know how to describe it, maybe just tone deaf?
There is a cost though, the browser already knows HTML so using it for state has no cost, while adding something in pure JS does. For example, look at payload sizes.

> In all of my programming exp, back-end or front-end, "the platform" is what people try to restrict access to and abstract away so that they can think about the problems they're solving.

You're assuming that writing code for your abstraction will be faster than server-side rendered HTML with a sprinkle of JS. Sometimes it is, sometimes it's not.
They matter to the degree a factor-of-two in performance (or -of-ten, or -of-100, for other optimizations) matters. On most problems, for most people, that matters not at all. But there are people who pay a lot of money for smaller gains. Certain people make a lot of money delivering gains.

Often, it didn't matter before, and now does. Facebook was coded in PHP, so they obviously didn't care about performance when they wrote it. But now Facebook is stuck with millions of lines of PHP, and has people going to crazy lengths to get it a few percent faster.
The bathroom situation is even harder to fix, since even if you could find a bunch of tenants willing to share a bathroom across the floor (and you won't) you have to spend a lot of $$ to retrofit showers into the living space.

Because the landlord heard from other landlords that they’re getting similar rates now.

I moved from Reno to SF to Reno through the pandemic. Houses that were $1600 two years ago are $3000/mo now. I can afford it, sure… but it’s not really a $3000 house, the $2000 houses are even worse, and the locals getting local wages are really going to struggle to get decent housing at a decent rate.

I fully expect my rent to get raised when my lease is up, and there’s little inventory to move to. It’ll just rise and rise.

At some point the equity game may start to follow the GME trends and crash, but CA homeowners showing up in NV with cash are really distorting the market. And landlords are seeing their house prices go up $50-100K in 90 days and calculating what they should be charging for rent off that. A lot of these houses were bought more than 3 years ago, so the rental margins qualify more as takings than real market value.
I recently found myself without any LTE signal the other day and was told by support that I needed to contact a certain department by… calling them.

I did have WiFi so my first thought was WiFi calling. Unfortunately, it appears on iOS that WiFi calling for some reason depends on hotspot, which I couldn’t enable without and LTE connection. Kinda deflated the purpose.

Thankfully, I had completely forgotten about Google voice, which someone reminded me about.

I remember a few years back though, a phone I had on I forget which carrier could fall back on 2g networks when LTE wasn’t available for whatever reason. It seems that ability is disappearing as old generation networks are shut down.
A lot of people have experience with fighting mental BS, so hopefully that translates. OTOH they don't have experience fighting both at the same time...
As I recall, this was the talk that triggered me to begin the experiments that led to the article.
Law only exist for those who it was writted for.

Not for those who wrote it.
> LTE/4G demonstrated the success of standards in that it "just works" as long as you have the right bands in place. Since most (modern) phones have the bands needed for the main global markets, you can pop in a SIM card and get connected anywhere.
VoLTE is far more complex, and there's network-specific configurations "hard-coded" into the (usually) Qualcomm modem firmware, including IPSec parameters for communicating with the IPsec endpoint in front of the IMS SIP server.

I sort of get the feeling this is by design.
They don't develop it in house. Lots of companies are selling this kind of software.
The mention of "life sciences" connected with that huge amount of space caught my eye. What exactly is going on? A new super boom? Or is "life sciences" an euphemism for hydroponics now?
I dunno, to be honest. I thought the original post I replied to was setting a low bar- that’s why I replied.

There is a ton of free, nearly free, and cheap shit out there that works just fine. It’s not that difficult to use it. I’m not behind economically, my friends think I’m a little weird but whatever- almost everyone I know gets it.
> Professors at elite colleges have created exactly zero prosperous nations.

It turns out that you can make that statement for any group of people. It takes all kinds of people to build prosperous nations.

It'a also particularly ironic that you're writing this because of a project that professors (and grad students) at some elite colleges started back in the 1970s, with some funding from the defense department. And their creation (the Internet) led to historic amounts of wealth creation in a stupendously short amount of time.

I also wonder where Britain would be without the numerous professors at elite colleges whose research in physics, mathematics, and chemistry made the Industrial Revolution possible.
Agreed. I think it's a major issue in political discourse when people begin to identify with labels and slogans, and treat them as prescriptive (ideals to be adhered to) rather than descriptive (approximate reflections of one's current general beliefs).

Surveys consistently show that most of us agree on far more than we disagree when questions are phrased in politically neutral terms. People quickly realize when they actually talk to other people that most are fairly reasonable and relatable, even if they have good faith disagreements on particular points, but social media being optimized for maximum engagement with shallow/short-form discussion just results in seeing the most extreme elements of society talk over each other and largely fail to come to a common understanding.
Have you tried using steel adapter plates to use the aluminium cookware on induction? The only thing I miss is not being able to use a Moka pot (there are induction versions, but they are usually 4+ servings - I find the single serving versions produce better coffee).

Here in Europe induction is everywhere, so maybe finding good cookware is easier than the US. Last year I got a 8cm (3") pot for boiling milk and beans from the supermarket for €15 that works perfectly on induction.
"...the ability of the rich and the powerful to identify their ascendency with lofty moral principles, [makes] resistance a crime not only against the state but against humanity itself.

But there's literally no upside to holding stablecoins? By design they don't appreciate, they pay no interest or dividends, they track underlying inflationary currencies like USD, and have a non-zero chance of going boom and becoming worthless.
Apple and SIS have a qualified law enforcement privilege that allows them to err in store security-related accusations and not be sued for it. However, if they exhibit "reckless disregard for the truth" – ignoring obvious facts, for example, they lose that privilege.

Curious to wonder if they mean they just lose that privilege on a case-by-case basis, or if they lose it for all future errors in general.

If it's the latter, then Apple is in serious trouble and they'll probably end up paying this kid big time in a sealed settlement so they don't lose this privilege.
How about you know just letting the market put commercial where customers are, next to residential. The market has no problems nor negative side effects of figuring this out. If we just ban cities from trying to plan their cities in opposition to proper design the problem fixes itself. It’s such a ridiculous self inflicted wound.

IMO, the operators of the AI are part of the production execution of that AI. There were not proper constraints in place to prevent this from happening, and it wasn't fixed after the first time(s) that it occurred.

Sure you can argue that the pure tech worked as designed, but the system includes the human element as much as the tech element.

Stop punishment for simple mistakes, it starts with parents and school.

I'm in a safe environment where i can say i made a mistake and document it. And still i have a hard time doing it because how i grew up. It was much safer to be quiet or lie and get away than trusting authorities or parents to not punish me.

But removing that threat would change how the system works and how ppl deal with mistakes.

> That statement implies that "videos" are specifically shown to be with the intent to misinform people. In reality Facebook and Google do not do this intentionally, but by accident.

Let me be clear, the content producers are the ones with intent to misinform. Google and FB just profit off of it.

Yet you defended this behavior as “ethical” half a dozen times in this thread.
It’s tragic to think that journalism has turned into a field where ‘opsec’ is actually an appropriate term.
And that would be fine, social media companies don't have to promote "objectionable" content in curated public feeds, but people who deliberately subscribed to or are looking for that content should still be able to see it (like Trump's feed). That's the step people are objecting to, so the analogy you draw just isn't relevant.
> And of course horse produces manure which is useful in farming. Cars still lack that feature :)

Cars shit exhaust. I think there are products/research where yo can capture the exhaust with some filter you apply, and then can send the gathered matter back to the facility. Not sure if it's useful for anything though.

People are as dumb as you treat them.

You simply have to stop optimizing for the lowest common denominator and push things out that you think some people won't understand.

Small children are perfectly capable of understanding very complex things, just ask a kid about pokemon or whatever kids are into these days and you'll be able to find huge pockets of complexity all over the place.

Treat people like they're dumb and can't understand anything that doesn't fit into a headline though... and they'll get accustomed to that.

The biggest targets should be news room editors trying to sell ads.

Wind turbines are manufactured using petrochemicals and currently have no way of being recycled, so they build up when they are replaced. GE hopes to turn them into some form of cement, but that may take decades https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turb...

Wayland is a great example of why Linux is always an also-ran in the desktop space.

X is cool and has the cachet of being such a venerable piece of software, but it needs replaced. If you actually talk to people who hack on X you'll find (for example) that it's been client-server in name only for quite some time, is full of kludges, etc.

Wayland has been around for what, 12 years now? It's still a disaster.

When will the Linux community admit that Wayland has failed and move on to something simpler/less ambitious?
I couldn't give up induction now and I have used gas plenty. FWIW, my induction handles 4-11" and I had no pans that were not induction-compatible, but that might depend on where you live I guess.

I'm sure there's a lot of things the military has done once or twice at immense cost in controlled settings. They (or you?) said a superpower can currently take down Starlink with lasers. That's just not true, and the fact that technology demonstrations have happened doesn't make it true.
It depends on your definition of domain I guess. :-)
In CA, the state wants to replace nuclear power plants with natural gas. That’s many times more carbon emission than forcing some number of new homes to be built with electric ranges.

I can only believe that people who enter highly radioactive areas illegally just have no idea what radioactivity is really like. It's invisible, so it's easy to imagine that nothing is really happening.

Something that looks vaguely similar to lnav (and Angle Grinder) is fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf). It's quite good at interactively searching for given items in a pile of text.

I haven't used Five9 for about 5 years, but even then their tech seemed old. The new thing then was starting to add multi/omni-channel support ie adding chat and maybe email. My guess is that the integration will likely be adding a new video chat option for call centers (ie five9 would do the queuing and then the routing to Zoom). I'd highly doubt that Zoom would spend the time to fully combine the software.

They can't, which is why such incompetence is plaguing every single bureaucracy in existence. If the bureaucrats have an incentive to not make mistakes they will err on the side of caution and only deal with cases where certainty is high - as opposed to putting in more effort to ascertain what is actually going on.
