Yeah agreed — making security & authenticity understandable to a layperson is always going to be tricky.

Websites like Twitter adopting a "blue tick" for a validated profile on their platform though is a model people seem to get. If we had some equivalent of a "blue tick" at a user-agent level, e.g. a for your browser to take a signature and display it in a standardised, human way to say "this video is signed by bbc.co.uk" it could work. (With a similar model for user-agents elsewhere e.g. you'd probably need adoption in apps like WhatsApp to get traction.)

The other side of it (like privacy discussions) is how much the average person will care — tabloid journalism often skirt the borders of what they can get away with at the moment & they nominally have a duty currently to only write factual information. If Fox News or the Daily Mail release videos and put their own signature to it, then you arguably lend them legitimacy ("it's on the news so it must be true. It's signed by them and all!").

It was year 2016, kubernetes did not have jobs, cronjobs, statefulsets. Pods would get stuck in terminating state or container creating state. Networking in kubernetes was wonky. AWS did not have support for EKS. It used be painful.

It is year 2021, 1000s of new startups around kubernetes, more features, more resource types. Pods would still get stuck in terminating state or container creating state. It still pretty painful.
Also, as a nit: most of the sound from a typical gunshot comes from the bullet “uncorking” from the barrel and suddenly releasing the trapped high-pressure gases all at once, generating a shockwave. This is precisely why suppressors (“silencers”) work, they slow down and cool off these gases before releasing them.

The supersonic crack is a factor, but it’s usually not most of the sound. Typically you will not be able tell a difference between subsonic and supersonic ammunition in the same caliber, it’s all too loud to notice. It’s only once it’s suppressed that you can tell.

Many common handgun calibers are naturally subsonic too, such as the fairly popular .45ACP, as well as heavier 9mm loads. The march 22lr ammo I use is naturally subsonic (faster, trans sonic ammo is less accurate), and it’ll still destroy your hearing without ear protection on.
Why this is unusual? If you're a parent weekend trips are pretty common, at least from what i can observe. And when i bought new car and initially it had way lower range this was quite anxiety for me, because i don't want to be looking for gas stations on my way, rather fill up before weekend and don't bother.
There is no one single reason for everything. Web traffic started centralizing around social media sites over a decade ago, and bloggers themselves pushed their readers to 'interact' on Facebook and Twitter.

They are writers, not tech ecosystem experts, so it didn't occur to them that Facebook and Twitter would take steps to keep people on their platform, and discourage them from linking out.
>How often are you going on road trips?

Once per weekend, on average.
So far, this makes EVs a non starter for me.

>the regulation provided by the FAA isn't perfect, so it shouldn't exist

This is far from what I'm suggesting. I'm just saying that if it is a gov't regulated anything, those regulations will incur wacky decision making due to the influence of outside money. Nobody likes to be regulated against, and if they are in the position to do so, they will use any mechanism available to them to keep the status quo.

I'm also suggesting that any gov't regulation body is not always the panacea people may be dreaming it will be. Anytime a regulation body is proposed, I don't have rose colored glasses. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised that something turns out to be a good thing than having high expectations crushed.
Not just perception - there was a very real conflict in the 19th century between traditional Russian values and western ideas such as nihilism and socialism. Dostoevsky was such an idealist in his youth, then turning his back on those movements after being imprisoned in hard labor camp. In his book Demons, he very much groks the dangers of these western ideas, which led to the disastrous 70 year reign of the Bolsheviks

I actually built a search engine back in 2018 using postgresql

Worked quite well and still use it daily. Basically doing weighted searches on vectors is slower than my approach, but definitely good enough.

Currently, I can search around 50m HN & Reddit comments in 200ms on the postgresql running on my machine.
> I don't buy Mozilla's/Apple's concerns for those APIs. Sure if seems sketch to access USB from the web, but as a user if I'm trying to achieve something and I can't do it on the web, I'll end up installing a native app which has way more access to my system.

There's a third possibility: that you give up achieving that something. The "activation energy" of installing an app is higher than loading a website, so if the user's desire for achieving that something is not strong enough, the native app won't be installed.

And besides, most users know (or should know) that installing apps can be risky, while a website is supposed to be sandboxed. That is, absent exploitable browser implementation bugs, going to any website should be safe.

"Shares in Tencent plunged 9.0% in Hong Kong on Tuesday amid widespread market jitters over Chinese regulatory crackdowns on high-growth sectors, including online platforms and, most recently, private tutoring. Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index (.HSI) fell 4.2%."

Fascinating how the Chinese authorities seem to be regulating the these companies with complete disregard on how the stock market might react.
Great points, and one item that should be added is "not having children in your teens and with an absent partner."

The activists who talk about inequities at the population group level, and ignore the statistics on teen birth rates and single parent family rates above 70% isn't being honest.

Across all ethnic groups, isolating for income level, males raised without fathers commit crimes at dramatically higher rates, drop-out of school at dramatically higher rates, and are more likely to engage in violence. I grew up in a poor county that happened to be mostly Black, but with a significant population of poor whites as well. The common denominator of kids dropping out of school, or getting arrested for hitting their mom when they were 14, 15 years old wasn't race, it was absentee fathers. Incarceration rates aren't remotely high enough to explain the absent fathers in the United States. The vast, vast majority of absentee fathers are not in prison, they are just not around.
Another way to think about it is as time pollution.

It's not a perfect analogy, but you can imagine the US government as a factory that slowly churns out "Benefit Programs", and in the process emits a large amount of pollution onto nearby homes.

This factory could invest in polluting less, but that would cost money, and would require it to increase the price of the product. And it so happens that the factory's customers are very price conscious! The customers are willing to accept a lot of pollution, because their goal is primarily to go back to their bosses and say "Look how cheaply I got all these Benefit Programs!"

None of the participants in the production or buying processes have much incentive for the factory to clean up its act, so accordingly it keeps spewing out pollution onto people who, even if they hate it, can't really do anything to stop it (besides moving away from their homes).

One possible tactic for resolving these negative externalities is to give the factory owners and customers skin in the game by making them live right next to the factory. In real world terms, this would be something like requiring lawmakers to live entirely off of government benefits, instead of any other income or wealth they possess.

Another possible tactic is establishment of a universal basic income, which (in theory) could replace every other welfare program and thereby remove a lot of potential for time pollution.

TL;DR: The incentives for US government administered benefits are all in favor of shifting work away from the government and onto individual citizens, as a way of saving money.
Fanbox has a pretty interesting model for this, when you subscribe to a creator you only get access to posts up to a month prior (as well as all future posts), and to get access to specific previous posts the creator can make available bundles which you can buy for a one time fee.
It reduces piracy and encourages prolonged subscriptions rather than subscribe->download all->unsubscribe.
Giving compliments is risky. At an HR anti-sexual harassment training we were told not to give compliments, even on something as trivial as a hair cut. We were advised that instead of saying “Your haircut looks nice” to say “Did you get a haircut this weekend.”

It’s kind of sad that society has become so litigious that even compliments are dangerous. But anyways, since people think compliments are creepy, I’ve started only giving them to close people.
Because what to do is highly variable doesn’t mean we need to take unnecessary risk to know literal truth.

Urban area population density requires different mitigations than rural, except rural communities rely on urban ones as logistics pipelines.

So normalize; mask up, stay home. Prefer all gas, no brakes, based on stats? There may not be enough real people to keep the internet on later.

Nothing about the lockdown was for saving you or me specifically, but systems of behavior we rely on.
My sarcasm was missed.

In any case, I'm the furthest from supporting Google or anything they do. But they aren't better or worse than Apple Inc.

To defend google, yes their software has the windows problem. They have to support an absurd amount of devices. So them pushing standards is just a big whale trying to get ahead of itself. No harm in that as long as devs don't go for bleeding edge features and harbour any expectations of cross browser compatibility.

In not blaming Google or the regulators. They can duke it out as long as the public benefits.

Safari wasnt all bad when IE was a thing. It's just that they took IE's spot by being obtuse and generally the rich kid who's a wierdo.

Thanks for the tweet link. Is there a site where leaks like this are common? I really liked it more than I should and how much Apple surprisingly looks at Google. I'd always thought Apple is above looking at companies serving peasants with peasant devices.

For me this is interesting, but not really material to anything. Sure, the tests we have for this new virus have needed to be adjusted and calibrated as we learn more about it. It's unfortunate if the numbers are a bit messed up, it would be better if they were more accurate, but real life is messy.

I don't think you're a kook, and I can only guess what those people were thinking. Maybe they just wondered... and therefore, what?
Yeah that's the part that seems off. It implies that the image for the watch was on the iphone screen first, which doesn't seem quite "professional quality". Did they render something high quality (to look good on three options) with the GPU and then subsample the image for the watch?
I'm not sure I follow - automatic autofill and manual autofill would both raise red flags by not automatically filling in credentials (automatic autofill) or not suggesting credentials (manual autofill).

edit: I think I understand. My first point doesn't show that automatic autofill is better than manual, because both methods will raise red flags. I.e. this isn't a reason to choose automatic over manual autofill. I think this is a fair point.

I do think that both autofill methods have an advantage over simple copy/paste, especially given the XSS discussion in other threads here.

Even besides this, installing solar panels is a big investment. Maybe you just needed a new car and decided to opt for electric.
Yup, the gas station model is not going to work for that. IMO EVs have a very specific niche: commuters from suburbs/surrounding areas. For nearly every other situation EVs are poorly suited. For rural areas where heavy equipment is king, EVs range and utility just isn't there and probably won't be for a long time. For dense urban areas, public transport and personal vehicles (such as eBikes) are better for most people.

For hiring it obviously just depends on how many people can do the job and what compensation terms they will expect, as well as how much compensation employers will offer.
I lived in high end neighborhood near SF.

Over last 4 years - more crime, more drug activity, more police presence.

Outrageous taxes. More disrespect and ignorance towards local businesses from politicians.

On a personal level (many here will disagree) i detest watching politicians dividing, selling out and destroying our country. But this is different story, moving cross the state borders doesn't help in this case.
Postgres was not good at (for us)
- IDF and other corpus based relevancy measures. had to hand roll
- thesaurus and missspelling - again possible of course with preprocessing and by adding config files
- non Latin alphabet languages. E.g. Arabic - needed filesystem access (we used aws rds so couldn’t do it) to add a dictionary based stemmed/word breaker

We used es or solr for those cases. For English FTS with 100k documents doing it in PG is super easy and one less dependency

How do you make an app that enforces notifications? Unless such an app is running in ring 0, it has to follow the same rules as everyone else. In any case, notifications are entirely handled by the operating system, so the onus would fall on Apple to prevent this fairly simple exploit from happening (hell, Android managed to do it right).

Furthermore, Proctorio and plenty of other invasive testing software has no trouble running on a Mac. Your last sentance is about as coherent as thanking Google for stopping McGraw-Hill from spying on Android users.

Depending on how you feel about the quality, cheap ($12) chinese dongles exist that take composite RCA and plug into USB and present as a standard windows compatible webcam type interface. Through this, you can just pump it into OBS studio and save it however you want. This is how I saved 30 hours of VHS tapes The actual hard part is choosing compression settings that give you good quality without eating through gigabytes of disk space per hour.

Technology Connections on youtube provides a much more complicated and expensive setup, but it might be a hair higher quality.

These systems will ingest anything that spits out composite video; Videogame consoles, VHS, DVD, old computers, TV set top boxes etc
If you use 230 V instead of 110 V, and three-phase instead of split-phase, the lowest charging tier becomes 3 kW (instead of 110 V @ 15 A = something like 1.5 kW), and pretty much anyone who has a car hole can easily install a 11 or 22 kW charger. This might make a pretty big difference in the end for all the house-owning people.

The American decision to use intentionally limited, low-tier electricity grids as a cudgel to enforce zoning shows yet another facet of externalities.

I keep hearing about bitcoin farms that get shut down because they are stealing electricity. That is more likely than someone running one on solar and wind. AND that solar/wind would've been better used to offset a fossil fuel source of electricity than being used on completely and utterly fake and worthless "money"
He's saying the definition of cases in 'actual science' vs 'the media' is different.

Not a shocker that the media would sensationalize things.

Science and PCR amplification... has a much looser definition with the possibility for much more false positives with such small number of cycles of amplification.

It was done ostensibly for cautionary purposes but the media seized on it and painted red death map visualizations for people to see with inflated death counts.
Postgres Full-Text search is a great way to get search running for a lot of standard web applications. I recently used just this in Elixir to set up a simple search by keyword. My only complaint was Ecto (Elixir's query builder library) doesn't have first class support for it and neither does Postgrex the lower level connector they use. Still, using fragments with sanitized SQL wasn't too messy at all.
This is gmail specific, but I run "gmvault" to sync my personal gmail to a local NAS on a nightly basis. I then have that NAS backed up offsite to Wasabi, a cloud storage service / S3 clone, using "restic."
Cheap child care. Not sure how tech is going to help with that besides providing funding. Maybe match up parents for collective kid-watching, at least occasionally. Related to that, find or provide jobs that are flexible and can work around parent's schedules but still pay well.

Distribute information that having kids early and getting (back) into a career later in life works fine.

Collect knowledge and how-to information from reputable sources and make it accessible to everyone. That way, people don't have to have a pre-developed social network of parents to ask questions of. They won't feel like they have to figure everything out from scratch.

Minor point: single-parent families are getting more common. Normalize it and avoid calling them "broken homes" or otherwise being negative about it.

i think "evolution" is not some purely natural process that plays out separately from how we think. e.g. forming societies where we support and elevate each other instead of competing is also a potential evolutionary future. societies where whatever means are necessary _results_ in an evolutionary advantage will "win", not those who necessarily work harder. capitalism-driven competition is just gamification of exploitation and doesn't inherently lead to an evolutionary advantage. it's just one of many ways to get there.

Summing up all of preindustrial farming covers a lot of area but for the major differences. Mostly vastly less land per farmer and minimal equipment, no insecticide and minimal fertilizers mostly animal droppings and marl applied early in the year. Limited and in many areas zero irrigation. This translated into less infrastructure, and fewer things to buy and thus maintain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marl

Really lack of resources was probably the biggest reason for lack of work. Logging, hunting, trapping, and fishing supplemented many early American farmers incomes but access to land for that generally wasn’t available in more settled areas.

Alternatively: Every car is a car you can sleep in. You just won't necessarily wake up.

As a guy, I'm super self-conscious about trying not to come off as creepy to women around me. In the past year, I've tried to be better about giving compliments to my friends, but I found myself complimenting my male friends much more than my female friends.

One day I asked a female friend about how to be less creepy when giving compliments, and she gave me the following advice:

"Don't compliment her on her body, because that comes off as creepy. Instead, compliment her on something she's wearing and probably put a lot of thought into. Something she might be proud of. This would be like her outfit or her make-up. The more detail in your compliment, the better."
Driving at ~50 mph IMO is not a practical driving style for a long trip on ~70 mph highways. But I do mostly set the adaptive cruise control and let it do the mileage management. When I drive around town I get between 4 and 5 miles per kWh doing exactly what you suggest.
That's great to hear. Yeah, 2 years ago would have been after I made this decision. Looking forward to taking another look at Bazel; I strenuously wanted it to be the one.
Because sanitization is not easy. You can visually spoof user names with Unicode, e.g. this Unicode: "аdmіn", is not really same as this ASCII: "admin" [0]. Both would create two separate accounts without input limitation. There is more variety with available alphabets [1].

+1 for Clarkson's Farm. What a delightful show. They do a fantastic job of taking you through the emotional highs and lows of farming. It punched a hole through my common techbro day dreams of leaving MegaCorp1 and buying some land out in the country to farm.

Although, I do still secretly think about raising cattle.. at least until season 2 of Clarkson's farm shows that that is also ungodly amounts of work for little return.
