Most dangerous tools are predictable in their danger. Take firearms; modern firearms are reliable[0] and tend to do exactly what their current handler intends. You would not for example expect your firearm to leave its case in the middle of the night and blow your windows out, for example.

Smart phones are unpredictable in their danger. You would not expect Grindr to sell you out to an oppressive regime, for example. Nor would you expect your private dating profile to get you fired. These are unpredictable outcomes well outside the range of what most users would expect.

0 - Truly accidental discharges where the firearm goes off without a trigger press are rare and make the news. Most negligent discharges are the result of people mishandling the firearm, rather than the firearm doing something unexpected.

It was not, as you accidentally recognize:

which recognizes that the sentiment/point does not apply to all men.

You are making a subjective interpretation, so I stand by the fact that you are being disingenuous and your interpretation is wrong on that basis, until specifically addressed.

They don't care to do anything about it, either. Trilateration on Grindr was demonstrated by Wired in 2016[1].

They also don't care when their app facilitates harassment and puts innocent people at risk[2], and they're willing to go to the Supreme Court[3] in order to defend their right to do absolutely nothing about it.

Except there’s a lot of people (myself included) who don’t consider a quantum annealer to be a quantum computer.

There has been also very little if any actual research in other fields powered with quantum computing.

We can keep moving the goal posts and claim that we have made it, but the fact is that QC keeps overpromising and under delivering.

>I'm surprised Grindr doesn't "fuzz" the location enough to at least make it much less accurate.

Why would they? Doing that would make their data less valuable. Just because grindr is the "gay hookup app" doesn't necessarily mean that the people who operate it care about gay people's (or anyone's) privacy. According to this [0], grindr ranks #4 of all mobile apps when it comes to collecting personal information. It's a free app that requires your location to use it, which means that it's a personal info collection app first, and a dating app second.

I’d be curious to see how secure Grindr’s servers actually are, because if someone really enterprising could combine this location hunting and get access to someone’s message history…hoo boy.

Not solely for the purposes of out-ing people. Grindr messages are, well, I’ve seen things, man. It’s one thing to get outed—it’s another to get your scandalous message history splashed across the internet as well. The blackmail potential is huge.

I wasn't referring to the speed (although obviously fiber has higher speed and reliability, and that will likely never change). I was referring to the fact that it seems like if you have the population density (in the US, at least in my knowledge) to justify a local ISP rolling out fiber to homes, you have a population density that will oversubscribe even the completed Starlink constellation (locally). Starlink just is never going to work in NYC or SF or areas with significantly less density there. Although it may work for a lucky few who manage to enroll before the area is full and locked down.

Based on the response here - and with my background in Augmented Reality and Computer Vision, as well as ad markets and consumer tech - I'm seeing that people are not actually conceptualizing the concept of metaverse.

You are more "nuanced" than the my-country-love-it-or-leave-it troglodytes upthread. If you like, you can confirm that Assange didn't give Manning any access she didn't already have simply by reading the indictment. [0] In the section "ASSANGE Encouraged Manning to Continue Her Theft of Classified Documents and Agreed to Help Her Crack a Password Hash to a Military Computer", you can read:

17. The portion of the password hash Manning gave to ASSANGE to crack was stored as a "hash value" in a computer file that was accessible only by users with administrative-level privileges. Manning did not have administrative-level privileges, and used special software, namely a Linux operating system, to access the computer file and obtain the portion of the password provided to ASSANGE.

18. Had Manning retrieved the full password hash and had ASSANGE and Manning successfully cracked it. Manning may have been able to log onto computers imder a usemame that
did not belong to her. Such a measure would have made it more difficult for investigators to identify Manning as the source of disclosures of classified information.

19. Prior to the formation of the password-cracking agreement, Manning had already provided WikiLeaks with hundreds of thousands of documents classified up to the SECRET level that she downloaded from departments and agencies of the United States, including the Afghanistan war-related significant activity reports and Iraq war-related significant activity reports.

Keep in mind that indictments only give the prosecution's opinion of the case, and are not evidence of any defendant having done or not done anything. However, if they only claim (without evidence) that he agreed to crack a hash, we can be sure they have no evidence he did crack the hash.

It took me literally three minutes to find this document and another five to find the relevant section.

Maybe some people are tempted to on-the-one-hand-on-the-other this case because it's confusing and that seems somehow fair. The case is inherently unbalanced, however. On one side is a man who, by himself, has suffered isolation and imprisonment for years and faces the prospect of "decades" more of the same. On the other is the giant secret bureaucracy who inhabit the forever-face-stomping boot. No one on that side will spend a day in prison. Their obvious overreach and abuse of process should mean that Assange doesn't either. Normal cases in which investigators and prosecutors violate the Constitution are thrown out by judges.

To reply to your second note separately, yes everybody needs to be vaccinated to stop the spread. Otherwise unvaccinated individuals remain as a permanent pool of carriers that offer the virus the opportunity to spread and evolve.

No. It can help because the result of the expression would have a different type, one that "if" does not accept. If a and b are integers, then the expression "a = b" is an integer too, but "a == b" is a boolean. In a strongly typed language, you can assume that "if" only accepts booleans.

> Really, many power users of Excel ought to be looking at more capable, testable and readable solutions from professional data analysts and scientists. Python would be a good start.

I can write python, but I can get the answer out of excel in a fraction of the time for most use cases.

As an added bonus, excel documents are far more ubiquitous and I can share them with clients, and they can see my workings. Python isn’t very transparent and business users can’t usually check the logic.

Excel is also much more interactive and allows for much more “discovery” and playing with the data.

What I would say though, is most power users don’t know about functionality in excel like PowerQuery, relational data models and DAX that actually do turn it into a serious and repeatable tool.

(I’m not arguing that Python isn’t better for many use cases, and excel definitely isn’t right for most critical applications, but I also think Python is much slower for ad-hoc data analysis so both have different places in the market. Anyone think python is faster? I’m down for a race!).

> Does it start a new process from the file the window's existing process is based on? This would rely on that program recognizing it's already running and sending a message the other instance to open the dropped file then exit.

You make it sound like this is somehow crazy complex behavior that no one would have implemented, but this is table stakes for a Windows application as otherwise double-clicking files that are supposed to open in your program wouldn't work.

Did you read the article?

Mark Herring was the man who was swatted and died. He was swatted because he did not want to give up the @tennessee twitter handle. He was not armed and was even attempting to comply with police.
The mistake most beginners make is not viewing the icon at close to its intended size throughout the illustration process.

SVG icons scale, sure, but human perception doesn't, so if you're zoomed in while drawing it, and don't look at it at smaller sizes until you're done, chances are you'll have made an icon that doesn't look very good. You have to draw it while zoomed in, but check it at the smallest reasonable size pretty much constantly.

One reason (as he points out in the article) is that you'll probably have included too many details, and it just looks like noise when you zoom out.

Another reason is that if you're not extremely careful, and aware of your intended resolution, you'll make an icon with a lot of aliasing. Aliasing often reads as blurry edges, especially on diagonal lines, and makes the icon look amateurish. You can tell a professional icon, because it's crisp and clean when displayed.

The other thing to keep in mind is that icons, like logos, are all about recognizable silhouettes. Icons need to be "readable" at the edge of the user's vision, not just when stared at dead on. For the same reason, you don't want them to rely on color, or small details, otherwise they just won't work as well.

While ghosting is obviously not good behavior, it happens for a reason. Younger employees are definitely in the wrong! It can also be useful to take it as poorly communicated feedback - what did the organization, workflow, etc do to cause the ghosting?

In my work I’ve found non-technical account managers take much longer to respond when they don’t know how to answer something and don’t want to offend me by saying that I communicated poorly.
Lol thanks for the good chuckle
I actually stopped reading there and went to the comments. I dont mean any disrespect, just trying to give a counterpoint: I like to have some more upfront info about an article's thesis before I invest in reading about an Italian history lesson hoping it will be relevant. I see this style a lot for example on substack, as if people are always trying to weave in a relevant historical anecdote or clever fact, which is fine, but it sets a much higher bar if the article is going to delay the build up to a point without first telling me what that point will be. It's easy to get bored along the way and bail.
I’ve been keeping half an eye on the GME/AMC/etc debacle. It’s plainly obvious that the market makers are playing all sorts of sketchy and illegal games.
I find the comments section here to be about 60/40 men who believe it to be a problem, and men who are denying there are problems or minimizing/excusing them, which matches my experience w men in workplaces. Long looong way to go.
> meanwhile MariaDB's promise of being a "100% compatible drop-in replacement" came with more and more caveats with each release

Anecdata: I've been using mariadb as a drop in mysql replacement for over 5 years in production, and it's been working seamlessly.

I'm no DB expert, and perhaps my use case isn't complex enough or written in a highly mysql dependent way - but I felt like someone should chime in since there's not much positivity toward mariadb in this thread so far. I'd be interested to hear from some other people with actual mariadb experience.

Could it be that schizophrenics are more likely to partake marijuana? Since it is a mental disorder and tends to run in families, the underlying genetics may predispose such people to marijuana, or marijuana may have a stronger effect on such people. That is, a strong correlation should result in a deeper look at this connection rather than directly influence marijuana legalization.

If you employ the `microtype` package, latex will also be able to make adjustments to inter-letter spacing. This can improve results by evening out the "weight". The results are subtle, though -- nothing like the huge improvements that result from switching from msword to latex.

Another slick trick is that latex (really, tex) lets you alter the weightings used in the optimization, paragraph by paragraph. And you can alter the weightings used in deciding where to put page breaks. You can also supply hints on hyphenation, for those rare cases in which the engine cannot decide what to do. (Note: the system adjusts hyphenation to the language, so e.g. those long words in German will be handled well.)

The optimization scheme is a large part of what makes tex so good. That, and the understanding of mathematical notation.

Anyone who wants to get insights into the early setup of tex might enjoy reading the following Knuth (1979). It's a very engaging read, for something that's technical. (Generally, Knuth is a great writer.)

> showing a node as unreachable but then back online when it gets network back.

Isn't that exactly what happens with K8s worker nodes? They will show as "not ready" but will be back once connectivity is restored.

EDIT: Just saw that the intention is to have some nodes in a DC and some nodes in the edge and the intention is to have a single K8s cluster spanning both locations with unreliable network in between. No idea how badly the cluster would react to this.

> Religions get to do things that normal people cannot do.

In the past, people used their religions to oppose things like interracial relationships, and even judges[1] in the US would use religion to defend discrimination against interracial couples.

Turns out that people don't get to use religion to discriminate[2]:

> Instances of institutions and individuals claiming a right to discriminate in the name of religion are not new. In the 1960s, we saw objections to laws requiring integration in restaurants because of sincerely held beliefs that God wanted the races to be separate. We saw religiously affiliated universities refuse to admit students who engaged in interracial dating. In those cases, we recognized that requiring integration was not about violating religious liberty; it was about ensuring fairness. It is no different today.

TPM is typically implemented in firmware for consumer boards. Having the option to upgrade to a hardware TPM module is nice, but probably not necessary for the vast majority of users. Hardware TPMs also come with their own sustainability questions regarding bugs/upgrades and how/if that process works. This is hard to do without compromising the benefits of using a physically separate TPM unless the end-user takes some form of responsibility in the custodianship themselves (which is not likely at the consumer level).

Considering that the vast majority of boards aren't going to need the header, the board manufacturers can scale cost reduced versions for the masses and spin versions with a couple more headers for a couple more dollars for the fringe users that want them (pre-)populated. Seems like a rational business decision?

Long time lurker here. Not sure if this helps the discussion but have actual first hand experience with this. I was a heavy user of marijuana (extremely heavy I would say) from my late 20s to my early 30s. One day in those 30s (combined with significant physical effort that day and heat) smoking my umpteenth spliff of the day led to a complete blackout on a public sidewalk. From that point I began experiencing persistent auditory hallucinations and was eventually diagnosed as schizoaffective. I had no prior expression of schizophrenia and no family history that I am aware of (though there are clearly other family members with some psychological disorders). It is roughly 4 years since the last time I touched marijuana and the auditory hallucinations persist. Still in favor of legalization, but, as with overconsumption of practically anything, it should probably come with clear awareness of the risks involved.
