It's great that he differentiates the two different types of "autofill" in the beginning, and regretfully later on refers to automatic autofill as autofill.

-

"Autofill can be 2 types: automatic autofill (autofilling a password without user interaction) and manual autofill (autofilling a password after some user interaction - clicking in the password manager's UI). In the following article, the term autofill always means automatic autofill."

-

When we designed the SaaS Paas password manager we opted for the manual autofill as it requires intent and thus mitigates against many of the highlighted attack vectors that come with "automatic autofill." In addition, the password manager extension has a session timeout and has no static master password at (mitigating against replay attacks). You can only unlock the browser extension with passwordless MFA. The added advantage of this is that you can share your browser comfortably with others.

likely solid state relays on the boards. They leak milliamps - - often in the amount you have measured, enuff to kill a grown man. I have since gone back to mechanical relays for all my work, they don't leak anything - - unless latched.

I have, and so have a lot of people. (Look up “Ward Number”). He worked at Tektronix back in the day. He created the WikiWikiWeb in about 90 lines of tight Perl. He is currently building the Federated Wiki. He’s currently working at New Relic, last I heard.

He also created Fit, which I had the pleasure of working with him on. It was a very different coding style than mine, very tight and flexible. I learned a lot.
Someone is going to make a hundred billion dollar business doing this.

Those first few years kissing the asses of IP conglomerates enough to get them to try it will be horrible, and then when you prove success competition will be fierce as there is no moat: not a business I would want to start. But I'd certainly be a customer.
Slowing production is my bus option. Also without something like "cash for clunkers," slowing production potentially keeps less efficient stuff in play for much longer.
I don't doubt that they love the company store model. I've been offered AWS credits in lieu of cash for contract work.... after the cash amount was agreed to in writing and work was performed.
I really like this - but I'd rather just pay $200 once than pay a subscription. If an issue is maintaining the models, you should make that a separate line item where you can pay as a subscription for updates or pay for the model on a yearly/monthly basis as necessary (some people might be OK with the level of OCR at any given moment).

What would be really interesting is if you could have some hardware that hooks into the HDMI port and with every flicker of the screen record and OCR everything, and add some diffing and compression and some really cool categorization algorithms and you could have something amazing.

Obviously this is an MVP but I imagine the perfected version of this would be able to see the difference between screenshots and use some sort of strongly-connected-component like algorithm and figure out which things are "browser" which things are "browser--hacker-news", and so forth. Create a great UI around this idea and even better UX and you have something interesting.

> Nuclear energy is a major power source for Korea, producing 29 percent of its electricity as of 2020, just after coal, which accounts for 35.6 percent.

While it's possible for a country to abandon both coal and nuclear energy, my instinct is that doing so would be twice as expensive, and that reducing coal usage is the more urgent goal.

If South Korea does manage to stay on target to be carbon neutral and free of nuclear energy by 2050, that would be a positive sign that other countries could achieve the same goals, but I think the slightly unique geopolitical situation around South Korea means that if they are unsuccessful, they can be considered a special case.

Suppose the international community decided to tackle nuclear proliferation by introducing a treaty which restricts the siting of nuclear power stations to as few countries as possible. Obviously all the current declared nuclear weapon states would be exempted from the treaty's restrictions, since there is no danger that they would gain a technology they already possess, but they may be expected to foot some of the bill for countries that transition away from nuclear energy.

That just leaves the small but sensitive matters of South Korea and Israel, which would presumably have to be given exemptions too in order for the US to back the treaty. Fortunately, however, there exists a way to delineate these countries in a way that is somewhat politically neutral, namely to specify that a state is allowed to pursue civilian nuclear power if it is a UN member and it is not officially recognised by at least one other UN member.

In addition to South Korea and Israel, that would grant exemptions to North Korea and China (which are already exempt for having nuclear weapons), Cyprus and Armenia (which are hopefully not at risk of developing nuclear weapons).[0] In fact, Armenia currently does have a nuclear power station which may continue running until 2036, and another unit is being considered too.[1] Cyprus, on the other hand, seems to have no intention of being the location of a nuclear power station.

To address a likely objection to this thought experiment, I will add that countries could also receive an exemption if they used most of their nuclear energy for carbon sequestration projects, which would have to be audited by international experts. Also, this hypothetical treaty would come into force in 2045, the centenary of the atomic bombings of Japan, and, ironically, it should include a clause requiring signatories to bring to the attention of the UN Security Council any country that breaks the principles of the treaty, even countries which are not signatories (leaving open the possibility of military action).

Yeah - I just meant specifically 3D visual modeling. I think some fears are known to be innate among apes - fear of the dark, snakes, and falling. Also paying attention to faces?

The cataracts thing was an article I saw on HN a few years ago, but don’t remember the title.
That may have been why she got a lot of press, and her gender may also have been the focus of much of that press. But I don't see any evidence that people invested in her -because- she was female. In fact, many of the most public and well known VC firms did not invest in Holmes. These big public firms are the ones most interested in deal flow and PR image. If Holmes was such a draw for being female, why did they pass?

In fact, most of Theranos' investors were individuals like Rupert Murdoch and Larry Ellison or firms that were positioned to profit from retail testing like Walgreens and Safeway.

I'll start entertaining the idea that investors are putting money into female owned companies just because they are female when I see the percentage of capital invested in female owned companies go above a few meager percentage points.
Did you setup the security.txt file? If not, add one.

You could also explain your financial circumstances (not too much detail) and offer a small amount.

Except all of those with a disability know from experience the sometimes gut-wrenching emotions that go along with the decision to tick the box "yes", "no", or "prefer not to say" as we weigh up a mental calculus of, despite how inclusive an organization appears to be, how that will affect our chances of something given inherent bias present in society. So... that's a sort of natural counter weight.
I'm actually shocked that's an issue.

I assumed they were recording actions taken via the github UI and APIs, not the git commit log. If someone merges a pull request you opened, poof, you contributed the lines merged from that pull request regardless of the git author line. Same if you run `git push` with your github login credentials.

Apart from attributing things to the wrong person, git author line seems like it must also have the issue of not attributing things at all. What if I signed up with a different email address than I use for git?
Hah, you are definitely right and I agree with you there =). Thanks for the comment and have a great deal of respect for you!
So, if a process is in an uninterruptible sleep, because say, it's doing i/o, say reading from disk, and furthermore, say it's using O_DIRECT, so the storage stack is going to set things up to bypass the buffer cache and DMA directly into the process's memory, and then you rip away the process's memory and give it to another process... and then the DMA completes, and kaboom? The DMA just clobbered an unsuspecting process's memory?

That is, it was my understanding that the reason a process is in an uninterruptible sleep is generally because it's waiting for a DMA to complete, and if you were permitted to interrupt it, the DMA would eventually complete and clobber who knows what. Ripping the memory away from such a process would, to my first glance, seem to encounter the same problem -- how do you stop the pending DMA (which might already be in progress, but which might also take awhile to complete.) Whatever method, it would be device dependent, which makes it impractical (who's going to retrofit all the device drivers with DMA stopping APIs, and I'm sure there are many devices that have no way to stop pending DMAs, and anyway, maybe the DMA is already in progress, only half completed.) Maybe do it at the pci level, unmap DMA buffers. But many current drivers will generally assume that they never give their devices bad bus addresses, yet now the device is attempting DMA to a bad bus address (i.e. a suddenly unmapped bus address).

Well, I've been out of the linux driver game for awhile now, so perhaps I'm missing or forgetting something. Ripping memory out from under a process with pending DMA sounds pretty sketchy to me though.

But, if dumb old me can think of this, of course the kernel developers can also, and undoubtedly did. Wonder how it really works?

Increasing FPS for single board computers and embedded computers in 2021
This manuscript provides a review of methods for increasing the frame per second of single-board
computers. The main emphasis is on the Jetson family of single-board computers from Nvidia
Company, due to the possibility of using a graphical interface for calculations. But taking into account
the popular low-cost segment of single-board computers as RaspberryPI family, BananaPI, OrangePI,
etc., we also provided an overview of methods for increasing the frame per second without using a
Graphics Processing Unit. We considered frameworks, software development kit, and various libraries
that can be used in the process of increasing the frame per second in single-board computers. Finally,
we tested the presented methods for the YOLOv4-tiny model with a custom dataset on the Jetson nano
and presented the results in the table
> Doesn't this mean that those who don't have the funds to be able to safely stake their coins see their balance depreciate as the incoming coins go to people who have the ability to stake their wealth, implying that the most efficient way to use the system is to concentrate wealth?

Not necessarily. If the currency's market value keeps increasing, then even if you don't stake your coins, your balance will still appreciate.

> The goal of proof-of-work is to prevent supermajorities from taking over the chain's verification by turning verification into a lottery of labor. Proof of stake doesn't seem like it solves that problem.

From the Ethereum website:

"The threat of a 51% attack still exists in proof-of-stake, but it's even more risky for the attackers. To do so, you'd need to control 51% of the staked ETH. Not only is this a lot of money, but it would probably cause ETH's value to drop. There's very little incentive to destroy the value of a currency you have a majority stake in. There are stronger incentives to keep the network secure and healthy.

"Stake slashings, ejections, and other penalties, coordinated by the beacon chain, will exist to prevent other acts of bad behavior." [0]

Any idea if Catalina or Mojave are effected? No security update for them yet. Perhaps the updates are forthcoming.

Apple is known for providing ZERO official guidance on the lifecycle of security updates for older versions. It really looks like they're trending towards an iOS model where there's no concept of support for anything but the latest version. (The one exception is that older iOS devices stuck on iOS 12 have still been receiving updates)
Those aren't counterfactuals, they're negative statements.

"Why are the lights off?"

"Because I didn't turn them on."

That's not a counterfactual, it's a fact. Just like the admins not configuring file purging is a (presumed) fact in the scenario under discussion in the article. Negative statements are not counterfactuals. Now, they may not be helpful for a 5 Whys analysis, but that's a separate thing.

Counterfactual: If the admins had turned on file purging, then the volume would not have been full.

Why? Because they didn't turn it on so this is a counterfactual in that it is dealing with facts not in existence in the reality under examination and reaching a conclusion of how things would have been different with those different facts. But nearly all the causes in a 5 Whys can be seen as counterfactuals if phrased correctly:

"Builds did not complete." Why? "Kubernetes could not start the pod, and the operation timed out after 1 hour."

As a counterfactual: If Kurbernetes could have started the pod, then the operation would not have timed out after 1 hour and the builds would have completed.

> or willingly waiting for the K9

Is there an option there? When the cop says "we're gonna get a dog to sniff your car", is it actually within your rights to just say "sorry, but I don't feel like waiting for a dog to get here, cya"?

Edit: huh, looks like they can't hold you for a K9 unit to arrive, assuming they have otherwise completed the traffic stop (based on the original purpose of the stop) and don't have reasonable suspicion to hold you longer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodriguez_v._United_States

(In the Rodriguez case, the lower court unfortunately still ruled against Rodriguez because the cop, based on the common understanding at the time, would have reason to believe that prolonging the stop was legal.)

That's all true, and at the same time does not invalidate the OPs argument.

You get to choose your phone platform. The implications there include whether or not you get exclusive access to Apple specific features like iMessage and FaceTime. They also include the cost of your existing collection of purchased apps and some DRMed media. You also have to pick your phone from the choices and features of the chosen platform's available devices.

You still have to choose "what you want" and then "Vote with your $CURRENCY." Your "wants" obviously include not just the OS/ecosystem design choices, but your financial investment into your incumbent platform, the convenience of sticking with what you know, your desires/requirements around screens and cameras.

You can totally trade off some of those other requirement over "platform security" or any other differences between iOS and Android. But don't fool yourself that you consider privacy to be critically important, if you're willing to forego it in favour of keeping your hundred or so bucks worth of Android apps or video subscriptions...
I find it highly implausible that many people believe fetusus are "not alive". You might be referring to the widely held position that an early-term fetus isn't sufficiently developed to be considered a full-fledged human, and that any rights it might have don't outweigh those of the mother who is carrying it?
I mean, I don't know if this is bad, but I do find the behavior to be surprising:

julia> d = [1 2; 3 4]

julia> d
2×2 Matrix{Int64}:
1 2
3 4

julia> @show( d[1], d[2], d[3], d[4] )
d[1] = 1
d[2] = 3
d[3] = 2
d[4] = 4

I guess I would have expected something like:

d[1] = 1 2
d[2] = 3 4
d[3] -> array index out of bounds error

but looks like you have to do:

julia> d[1,:]
2-element Vector{Int64}:
1
2
The only other language I'm familiar with multiple dispatch is common lisp, and it also has a problem with unenforceable and undiscoverable interfaces.

I'd be very interested to see a good solution for interfaces with multiple dispatch. Perhaps the popularity of Julia will lead to a good solution.

Have you ever seen a new-born baby's legs?

They aren't even remotely strong enough to walk, no matter what the brain tells them. It takes those months to develop leg muscles. New-borns don't have them.

> Even with the highest theoretical possibilities, batteries cannot be as energy dense as kerosene.

So what? We can make kerosene-fueled aircraft that can fly more than all the way around the world without refueling. In fact, we did it 15 years ago, and we left some performance on the table as it had a L/D of 37 but modern sailplanes can get over 70 L/D (and the jet engine they used wasn't particularly efficient), and with forced laminar flow control, 100 L/D is possible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Atlantic_GlobalFlyer

Kerosene is better than it needs to be.

Cutting edge typical lithium ion chemistries (like you might find in a Tesla) has about 300Wh/kg, but pre-production lithium-sulfur batteries can get up to 650Wh/kg (lithium sulfur and lithium metal anode batteries that are available in sample quantites in actual pouch form are around 400-450Wh/kg). But also, batteries are roughly twice (sometimes 3 times) as efficient as jet engines. As you mention, chemical batteries could do 1100Wh/kg (not counting lithium-air, which could do much, much better but we're probably a couple decades to deploying them). Not getting lighter over time is a performance drag, but there are actually ways to deal with it. But let's split the difference and say batteries could be about a tenth as good as kerosene.

41,000km is the distance that Globalflyer flew. A tenth that range is 4100km, which is the minimum flight length to qualify for long-haul (and also the distance from Hawaii to California). So we could have long haul electric flight if we wanted to, without the solar-electric trick or any kind of towing, in-air charging, staging, or launch-assist.

Turnaround in 30 minutes isn't fantastically hard for battery chemistries, either, BTW. 5 minutes would be pretty hard, although still not impossible (and some chemistries can do this). And again, this is largely scale-invariant. A Tesla that can mostly charge in 30 minutes means a short-haul aircraft could as well. And you can get lithium batteries (LiPo and Lithium Titanate) that charge in 6-12 minutes or so (5-10C rate). This is faster than most jets get refueled (it takes 45 minutes to an hour for larger jets, so I don't see charging time to be a huge challenge).
The full title is pretty funny.
