Russian troll farms appear to be mostly about creating dissension and confusion, rather than turning a profit. It's a more long term strategy without immediate dividends.

Or so it seems. It's always hard to tell. But that would make more sense in this case than trying to market their vaccine, and more consistent with past behavior.
Can some explain to me what 25-50+ engineers do all day at these startups?

My experience is probably skewed, mostly working for SaaS companies providing enterprise B2B software, but the product and engineering team represents only 15-20% of the headcount - the customer success team is often 2-3x larger.
The filesystem can support path length even infinite (simple, make a symlink of a directory inside that directory, you have an infinite path).

PATH_MAX is a limit of a path that you can pass to the various path manipulating functions, open(), unlink(), etc, or returned by getcwd() (that gives an error if path is longer than PATH_MAX, and yes there are non standard system call to go around this limit but... why?)

You can however use paths longer by PATH_MAX, how? Simply chdir() PATH_MAX, then you can chdir() another PATH_MAX, then count how many software breaks...

Imposing a limit on paths makes sense and should be done. 4096 bytes seems reasonable to me. Also, in that example, it wasn't even a matter of a path! They are parsing it seems only the file name, and that is defined to be NAME_MAX, that is 255 bytes, on every system and every filesystem!

But this isn't really an analysis of military strength as much as one of unit strength, if I understand what's being presented.

The meme isn't that Sparta was awesome, the meme is that spartan soldiers and units are awesome.

I don't think most people think that a society that turns it's children out on the street to fend for themselves to toughen the ones that survive is good or worth any awe, but that doesn't mean that people can't look at the end result and think one specific aspect is worth respect.
Productivity vs. Efficiency: Why Developers Need to Know the Difference

All those "5 meteorites to pass by Earth this month" title makers never hit earth.

Sailplanes also do this. “Gliders” get a brief mention as an aside, but it’s somewhat glossed over, but fundamentally the sport of flying depends on the same solar thermal phenomenon except instead of producing black material to absorb sunlight, sailplanes rely on existing low albedo features of the landscape to generate the solar heated air.

Sailplanes air often towed to the air by powered aircraft in the US, but higher performance sailplanes usually carry their own motor for self launch (often electric) and in Europe are often winch-launched. Gravity launch (rolling down hill) and auto tow (a car pulls the sailplane into the air, usually with a pulley) are also fairly common, and the former would meet this “low tech” qualification.
i suspect the goal is not to increase preference for a particular vaccine but to suppress vaccination rates in a region by creating confusion.

It would be better parenting if you didn’t smash the phone, tell them you’re the boss, and that they should fuck off. I am sorry but if it’s still confusing to you after repeating the same thing three times, along with everyone else saying similar things, then maybe you can start to understand why so many of your comments are flagged dead now. Nobody really wants to have a multi-day conversation with someone who isn’t listening, cross-posts their drama in multiple posts, puts words in others mouths, and generally behaves like an internet addicted teenager themselves.

Shouldn't there have been an announcement to inform users what has been leaked and under which circumstances?

How can user A send an image to user B that neither of them took? Isn't everything end-2-end encrypted? Then how can unencrypted data from user C end up on the device of user B?

I see a lot of "it's the computers/smartphone!" and "it's corona" takes in these kind of articles. However, there is one in the article who has the real reason and not a scapegoat:

> "We realize the importance of friendship, and we're just not investing the time," he said, adding that it's another way the nation is "vulnerable."

Too many people don't have the resources to invest in friendships. Mostly it's time - working two or more jobs to survive or putting in 60+ hour workweeks plus insane 2 hour commutes doesn't leave much time for anything else than sleep - but also, money in general. There are not many places outside of a home for people to gather that are affordable and accessible to anyone, thanks to gentrification. Shoddy run-down bars that were a place for regular people have been replaced by hipster outfits that charge ten euros for a coffee.
These are repetitive strain or slip and fall injuries from handling heavy or unwieldy objects. Not mashed limbs from heavy machinery.

Yep, it’s bleak, says expert who tested 1970s end-of-the-world prediction
Thank you for this nice writeup! This paper was led by my student Sadjad Fouladi (https://sadjad.org/), part of a broader theme of coercing a "purely functional-ish" design onto everyday applications. There's a less academic-ese version with a few extended results that was published in ;login: magazine (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/login/articles/login_fal...). There was also a good analysis here (https://buttondown.email/nelhage/archive/papers-i-love-gg/) and don't miss https://buttondown.email/nelhage/archive/http-pipelining-s3-... .

Some of Sadjad's other work has included:

- ExCamera, which somewhat kicked off the trend of "fire up 4,000 lambda workers in a burst, all working on one job" -- for things like making a neural network search a video frame-by-frame, video compression in parallel at sub-GOP granularity, etc. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16197253)

- Salsify, which reused the "purely functional" video codec from ExCamera to improve WebRTC/Zoom-style live video (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16964112 , https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20794541). Sadjad is giving an Applied Networking Research Prize talk about this work at IETF tomorrow.

- 3D ray-tracing (running PBRT on thousands of Lambdas, sending rays across the network), SMT/SAT solving, etc.

We're working to extend this line of work towards a more general, Wasm-based, "purely functional" operating system where most computations operate on content-addressed data and are content-addressed themselves, and determinism and reproducibility is properties guaranteed by the OS. Sort of analogous to how the operating systems of today (try to) guarantee memory isolation between processes. Imagine, e.g., a Git repository where you could represent the fact that "blob <x> is the result of running computation <y> given tree <z> as input," and anybody can verify that result, or rebase the computation to run on top of their own input. If you're interested in this general area, please consider doing a PhD at Stanford and/or get in touch -- I'm hiring.

> Does it allow mixing encrypted and unencrypted messages? What happens if I use an alternative mail client, will I still be able to read email from people after the project dies and the clients stop working?

Yes. It uses the AutoCrypt standard, which exists independent of delta chat and has standalone software, + plugins for various email clients. I use a plugin for mutt so I can read my delta chat messages without the official client. You can issue new key pairs or turn off e2e as you like.

> I don't think people will appreciate it when I suddenly start using email as a standard communications method, but it's worth a shot

Fair, though perhaps technically simpler than getting others to download Yet Another Chat App™.

> ...previous failures to secure email, like PGP, S/MIME and variations thereof.

Did PGP and S/MIME fail? Services like ProtonMail use that tech to great effect. IMO it never hit the main stream because mainstream mail providers, etc want to read your email. There's some argument about usability but after using ProtonMail I don't buy those arguments.
I do a power set of shrugs, curls, and one other I forget the name of. Then I put on a weighted vest and do a power set of ab roller, dips and decline push-ups.

My cardio (cycling) includes a mix of sprints of various sorts so I don’t bother weight lifting for lower body. Getting too bulky is also not good for speed in cycling so I’m not trying to get super buff so everything is just dumbbells and weight vest.

I’ve tried Element. I think Signal is probably easier to setup and use for most non-technical people on comparison.
I appreciate that this was a difficult and rare bug, but for an app that sells itself as 'secure', it feels like this isn't acceptable.

Too bad there wasn’t a bunch of people driving with car cameras like in Russia, which turned out to be very useful during their meteorite event.

This was also at 1am at night in a more rural area.

It damages overall trust in the state, which might very well be in someones interest. And also potentially causes downstream political changes.

This noise also spreads internationally, so bad press in let's say UK, France and Germany might very well lead to "look, in the places they make those vaccines they don't trust them, why should we have them then?!" in countries where it is an open question.
The trouble many purported "general purpose tools" run into is that what they're doing badly isn't the "marketing approach", it's the whole product. If you don't have a clear use case (or set of use cases) with a consumer in mind when building the product where your product outperforms the alternative, no "marketing approach" is going to save it.
Every time I pay an employee with a crypto we issued, I always chuckle that I get to pay in corporate scrip

My personal read is that a huge amount of that in the last decade or so has been a consequence of basement central bank rates.

When vast sums of institutional money are freed and chasing yield, eventually some of it leaks into residential property.

And when a market that was precariously balanced with only retail buyers (due to density opposition and building economics) now has equal or more investors pile in? Well, prices do what they've done.

You can use propane for the refrigerant. The halflife in the atmosphere is pretty short. Its cheap, non toxic and fairly well understood.

In the EU/UK it also has the advantage of not needing a license to install yourself.

Obviously this new technology is important, but its not here now.
> > about half of the homeless people are too mentally troubled/addicted to be able to handle an apartment.

> citation needed

To fully qualify the statement made by the person you're replying to:

I would argue that it is indeed clear that around half of the individuals facing chronic homelessness urgently require mental health and addiction support.

for those people, they may likely face crisis and be consequently unable to upkeep any dwelling that is freely provided to them unless they have extensive support and possibly even in-patient care.

* About 30% of people who are chronically homeless have mental health conditions.

* About 50% have co-occurring substance use problems.

As unpopular as this might be to say, and as environmentally unfriendly as it is, I've known my neighbors in every house I lived in; even when my friends and I rented a house in college, and after I was done with college, and I've rented houses with friends. They weren't always thrilled to see renters move in, but when we mowed the grass or were grilling, etc. you're forced to look over the fence and say "hey". Apartments offer a sense of odd anonymity, where very few know each other unless they already do, for some reason, especially in more urban areas. I was never more anonymous than when I lived in a city proper, living in an apartment building. The only people who knew my name were my coworkers.

EDIT... atrocious grammar
>do these people respect me at all?; do these people care about my inner life at all?; do these people share a desire for growth beyond that of our local maximums?; do these people have any ambition at all?

That's a nice list of traits for a friend to have, but since a person will literally go insane if they don't have any human contact, I would advise finding better friends first before dumping the bad ones.
But it sure is nice when you have to go pick something heavy up, and it's "easy".

I'm on and off of lifting for 30 years. Inevitably I get to a big glass office building door and think, "wow this is so heavy to open!"... and then I know it's been too long since I lifted.

A couple of months later, and I'm practically looking for heavy stuff :). 4U rack server full of drives?... no problem!
5G NR allows for 5Ghz to be used as primary carrier in band 46. (as opposed to LTE that only allows it as a secondary carrier.) This wouldn't require a license to use.

I believe CBRS band 48 (3.5Ghz) is lightly licensed but I don't remember if you can set it up as a primary carrier on LTE.
It seems to use E2E encryption with some trust-on-first-use protocol called Autocrypt:

I am very happy that the children's hobby of collecting butterflies seems to have nearly disappeared. When I was a kid, other kids had butterfly collection kits that included a "killing jar." It struck me as a bit morbid at the time, but it was common so no big deal.

Even if the species isn't endangered or anything, isn't that kind of messed up? Not a great way for a kid to learn empathy.

My seven year old enjoyed taking close up photos of butterflies a couple days ago using my phone. All the while saying sweet things to them, treating them as friends that she didn't want to frighten. She'd be offended with the idea of catching them to kill them and stick a pin in them to then admire their beauty in all its deadness.
That title is the reason why the bottom 50% are still well off, because there are rich people out there - people who pay taxes & create businesses. In North Korea even the top 1% aren't doing that great.

If their share is increasing, that's in part because of the Fed and the US Government, so take your complaints to Mr Biden.

As for the "inequity", why sould I care if Bezos has 1,000 or 100,000 times more money than I do. And why shouldn't he be 100,000 times wealthier than I?
Rational people turn into tantrum throwing toddlers and absolutely go crazy if you suggest using a flammable hydrocarbon as a refrigerant (never-mind that many refrigerants are already flammable hydrocarbons or nasty in indoor spaces to the point where propane isn't worse).
I hate running as exercise. It's a painful way to get from A to A, and some part of me is always pushing to simplify the task by staying at A.

But put me in a team sport and I can chase a ball until I collapse!

Team sports are also great for the social obligation. Both to help the team win, and to show up each week.
I think I mistook the README's comment about ptx as being about the branchless partition logic when it's talking about the overall recursive structure (i.e. which arguments are passed to flux_partition calls). That could be new although I kind of doubt it. The way it uses the two buffers is fairly similar to what I've seen called a "ping-pong merge".
Try doing that with 350 lbs bodyweight, though!
> The challenge is the rest of the residents who aren’t interested in even free services to help get them change their lives or overcome their issues.

As I understand it, the trick is to just accept that these people exist and still need a roof over their head. Turns out that’s cheaper than policing them when living on the streets.
Freenom, the free domains website, is a scam
The source I quoted agrees, saying favors, not barter.

It would be a breath of fresh air for Tour de France if they did not use radios.

Another outcome could be that we would not see the same rider winning multiple years, simply due to missing radios.

The barbican is super expensive, fwiw. They are also really nice inside.

Personally, I like brutalist buildings. I feel like a lot of the fake georgian cutesy stuff is built to look good (for a certain taste) but almost always sucks to live in. I spent my student years living in mouldy little semi-detatched houses in the UK, and they are really shit houses. Brutalist flats I've lived in have all functioned pretty well as flats (no mushrooms in the walls, etc).
Any good learning material you can point me towards that you found useful on your journey? I'd appreciate anything.
> just pointing out that "there are audits, why does it have such bugs" doesn't tell the entire story.

So? Isn't that the point though? Having regular audits should have caught this issue? I thought this being 'open source' this would made this even easier.

Which leads me to believe a team that has $60M~ in funding is unable to fix this issue in a matter of urgency.

Remember this issue was open for half a year with users noticing this, no matter how you slice this, this issue does not give me any more confidence in Signal being secure.

that I agree with you. Destabilization, confusion specially in France and German, Countries with lower vaccine acceptance among the population. Vaccine now is their "black lives matter" in the sense that it will definitely be used to divide the population.

Brazil however has a high vaccine acceptance, around 95% of the population want to be vaccinated, therefore Brazil has a huge market for vaccine (internal market and as distribution hub for south America) and in that case, I see how market their vaccine would make sense, specially now that there is a strong lobby there trying to get it approved by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa)

Personally, I'm convinced that parasocial relationships are outcompeting social relationships.

>LAA is a way to have an LTE carrier within the (shared) 5 GHz band, but it has to rely on an anchor carrier for signaling, which requires licensed spectrum.

I want to add, as I said in my last comment that 5G NR allows for 5Ghz to be used as primary carrier, it was controversially included in the standard. A study from earlier this month showed LAA apparently doesn't play too well with wifi nearby: https://www.cs.uchicago.edu/news/article/laa-wifi/
The agency searching for the youtubers was not very smart or selective about the youtubers it chose (afaict). At least the first german youtuber that was mentioned is paid by public broadcasting agencies (for producing internet content) and his most prominent channel is called "Mr Wissen2Go"[1] (Wissen=Knowledge), meaning that this is a somewhat respected channel known for high-quality science and informational content without bullshit.

Why would someone like that betray his viewers (and burn a view bridges) for a measly 2k Euros?

Hey, sorry for a late reply,

No, there's no difference, it can be any company. Moreover, there are no requirements about whether this company or person needs to be from the UK; it can be any country in the world.
