I don't understand how you can be this cocksure about being absolutely wrong when the first hit on google for "global warming vs climate change" leads to this page:

https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/what-difference-between-global-war...

The term "global warming" doesn't capture everything involved in the climate change that is caused by global warming. This was already known as a myth almost a decade ago:

Do you solve it using the "Under Attack" mode on CF where it shows the "redirecting in 5 seconds" msg? I am curious how CF takes care of the DDOS.
I mean, it can both be true that it wasn't terrorism, and that the mainstream media was wrong by blaming everything on russian superterrorist masterminds. We both know that media narratives don't have to be fully cromulent.

Do you really think that a 14 year old is incapable of understanding that hurting someone is wrong? And that they don't understand that there will be consequences to their actions? Because I find it hard to believe.

Communist leaders starve millions of their own people, and capitalist leaders starve millions of people in countries that they exploit, but I don't think that the overall death count is especially off balance.

Amazon, for example, starts at 10 days for FTEs and accrues to a max of 20 days once you've worked for longer than 6 years. We are roughly the same as Facebook and Google who are between 20 to 30 days per year, depending on how long you've worked there.
My understanding of the sanctions regime is that it's not legal to sell software to Iran, so how do they get Microsoft Windows in the first place? Is the country running on pirated software?
CS grads can start at $225/yr at most FAANG cos. With zero years of experience. There’s really no secret here. It’s well known. Get a CS degree, know you’re interview questions well, and you’ll likely get in. It’s the interview that’s the real test.

Also to be clear, that’s total comp. Not salary. Salary is closer to $150. I think most FAANG cos top out around $200k for salary, but I know several people making over $1m a year.

They are in a regulatory blackhole, in Australia merchant fees are tightly regulated, cannot be more than actual processing cost. Many companies here charge more to pay bills by credit card or shops have minimum amount before credit cads are accepted. Moreover since Afterpay technically doesn't give consumer credit they are not bound by national credit rules as well. They don't and can't do credit checks

>Security cert, no assembly or even C knowledge.

Work at a security company. Everyone I know with "research" in their title is legitimately great.

That being said there are different types of security researchers. It seems like you were focused on vulnerability research/exploit development/offensive stuff. There's also malware analysis, intelligence, and detection research.

Just like exploit development, malware analysis requires reverse engineering skills. However, Intelligence analysts and people doing detection research often have incredibly deep and broad skillsets that don't involve knowing assembly or C, yet they are still doing amazing work. Some of them are also reverse engineers, but depending on the role its not the standard by which I would judge competence.

I've seen orgs that hire mostly bureaucrats, but if a person has genuine passion for security they can find a fun and challenging place to work.
> At the time, SunOS was distributing the encrypted passwords for an organization over the LAN via YP

Not encrypted, hashed.

Lots of people look at things like this and they erroneously come to the conclusion that the correct fix is to hide the secrets. And that's how you save up more trouble for yourself down the road because sooner or later somebody's going to steal those secrets you were hiding.

The right fix is to not use Shared Secret authentication. If I don't know my users passwords in any form, I can't very well have them stolen from me, and so there isn't anything to "crack".

I've pasted credentials entries from my toy WebAuthn implementation to HN before, I won't waste space doing that again here, but the point of such systems is that you could publish the credentials by which you authenticate users and not make any difference to their security.
Sorry, I should have said Germany instead of Europe since the European market is pretty diverse.

The German word for debt is schuld(Schulden), which has the same meaning as guilt and is associated with something bad.
Op probably means cpp, where it is indeed undefined behavior. not sure about c. I doubt that if this would cause a "my game does not work on XXX" though. Is there really a compiler out there that will handle such abuse differently?
> if we want to watch the new thing tonight

Which is what 1/2 of the article we are discussing is about: The way we are herded into spending our hard-earned money on the need for "the new thing" by marketing and manipulation.

Your position is "I need to entertain myself and my kids and they want the new shiny thing", my position is, "You're being conned out of your money for shit you don't need."

I'm being wildly judgemental because I look at people who need "the new thing" as suckers, aaaand I also think it brings us all down, because now all the money goes into paying Scarlet Johansen $50M to make the same movie five times and we miss out interesting/engaging cinematography.
My point was: I see no reason why we couldn't accomplish everything Cloudflare does without a central authority. Markets are able to solve just about any problem without any central person pulling the strings. Case in point: the internet.
Winning in court changes nothing the same way that the DEA busting one semi full of coke changes nothing. It's just the cost of doing business to the people who are doing bad things.

The only way to change anything is to make the situation so insane that it causes important people high up to ask questions like "how the F did it come to this?".
Unclear why you would connect these devices via a cord. The AirPods are inherently wireless but do easily switch between the iPad and the MBP. You could connect the iPad to the MBP using either a lightning cable or USB-C depending on which iPad you have but I don’t see what benefit that would give you though you could use that to charge the iPad. The products seem to work fine.

Well yes actually, it's pretty common I've worked on government systems (not Iran but close and not embargoed) that uses pirated Windows, Office Suite.
Wow, I haven’t heard the name urchin in a long time. For the longest time my favorite coffee shop had an urchin sticker on their tip jar. I wonder if it’s still there.
> There is still time for a pop once governments decide things are normal again after covid.

While thats true on its face, in practice trying to make that bet is a fools errand at this point. People have been telling me that for a decade plus, now. It still hasn't happened, and the Australian economy (and household wealth) is inextricable intertwined with real estate -- I can't see any government deciding to let it "pop", personally.

I used Firefox until old extension format abandoned and I switch to Palemoon + Vivaldi. Vivaldi for daily use and Palemoon for tabs opened all the times (with lazy loading).

Tab grouping is never done good enough on Chromium based browsers (even Vivaldi). Also those browsers all have memory usage issue and I don't keep them opened for too long.
That's a pretty good point. Pick your battles as they say.
Yes, I understand. I think they were trying hard to make that distinction in the article with the long section about robustness and the long section about antifragility, as well as the definitions up front that match yours.

Have you considered that you might be frustrating the interviewees and your colleagues too?
I did not know what creative coding was and would have appreciated some context-setting in the blog post.

If anyone else is unclear on what creative coding is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creative_coding

Whenever I have done anything similar to creative coding (e.g. art generation with neural networks) there are three kinds of information that I need to store - code, parameters, and results.

Results could be anything from utility function values to S3 prefixes under which generated images were stored. They aren't always suitable to commit to git - do you really want to commit large, generated images/videos to your git repo?

Git commits are a great way to refer to different points of the code base, but I like to have parameters and (corresponding results) stored somewhat orthogonally to git commits. Because the same commit of the code base might apply to multiple different runs.

The solution I've converged on is to commit a CSV file alongside the code with the following structure for its rows:
<git_commit>,<parameter_1>,...,<parameter_m>,<result_1>,...,<result_n>

The only tricky part is running "CSV migrations" when you add new parameters. But if your rerun script only uses parameter names (specified in first row of CSV), this isn't a real problem.

There was no such thing as "science" at the time - every aspect of human thought and philosophy had some religious dimension or spiritual connotation. The study of the stars and planets was tied to astrology, and the study of herbs and healing was associated with witchcraft and folk magic.
Pretty much. The US has banned Iran from joining WTO 22 times, so Iran has reciprocated by not caring about IP violations at all.

If you don't get paid family leave for several months in that situation, that's not your co-worker's fault. That's how it's supposed to work.
If that were the case, I agree, that would actually be a pretty epic troll.

This is just cyberterrorism.
I think my #1 reason to stay Apple for the foreseeable years is that they put Privacy up there as a value. It makes all it's money from hardware and not my data. Once you understand how Google makes it's money it doesn't make you want to use it's products.

Homekit may not be as good as Alexa/Google assistant for home automation but it makes an effort to keep all your data local and not in a cloud. A small minority of us really value that.

I understand for regular people though it's really just a status symbol. I spent X on a phone cause I'm doing well in life.
I understand what you're saying (in the first paragraph). I really do because I also went down this path. Self-reference is very tricky and it's way easier to trick yourself into proving things than to prove things.

You are referencing Godel and there is a reason why he only proved 'non-provability', namely Tarski's undefinability theorem[1]. In short, you cannot express the truthiness of a statement in the system within the system itself. This prohibits you to draw conclusions in a way you did above.

I'm of course no expert on the matter, and I might be wrong just as likely, but I'll encourage you not to make such strong, definitive statements. Maybe the reason for it is only that what you stated above would be a huge result in mathematics so one would think there is a mistake somewhere (especially since Liar's paradox is nothing new). And one would explore the subject further to find it rather than 'I post it on online forums because no one wants to accept my theory'

Your statement contains a misguided assumption that adoption of Flutter on the web explicitly breaks accessibility; it's no wonder that you didn't receive a response.

Under 15 employees, Title I does not apply to an organization's website.

Above that number, and, provided that it's part of the design phase, ADA Title I and/or Title III compliance can be achieved by ensuring that each element, attribute and operation is sufficiently tagged; this validation can be built into widget testing in the same manner as one might do for React components.
If you were to use one word to describe governance in Australia, it would be reactive.

A similar thong got Randal Schwartz a felony conviction (which he eventually got expunged).

> The solution is to have ten CloudFlares so that the path between consumers and websites isn't regulated by a single organization.

There are! Cloudflare is by no means the biggest CDN provider - plenty of others exist out there. Akamai, CDNs from Google/Azure/AWS, Fastly, at least.

What makes Cloudflare so unique in it attracting criticism like this? They're just a bog-standard CDN, the likes of which has existed long before Cloudflare. Is it just because they're the most "visible", having a free plan that people use?
> A hammer can be used in construction or to bash someone’s brains out. Nobody ever mentions banning hammers because someone used one in a f’ed up way.

A hammer is no better suited for killing people than thousands of other common household (or natural!) objects. Bitcoin is uniquely suited for ransoms of all types.

Guns are perhaps a better analogy than hammers here. Not a perfect analogy, but a better one.

> for the environmental damage part: in a free market you cannot really control what people are doing with energy. You use the energy, you pay the bill. End of story. If the profit you’re making from the activity is greater that the money you are putting in people will do that activity.

> I can't wait to find out!

I know, right!? It’s not like we haven’t heard the same opinions 1,000x before on each and every single previous Apple article.
That's an apt analogy. It makes one wonder how many of these ransomware organizations are connected to their respective local governments, ready to be put to work should an open conflict arise.

It also makes one laugh at what we have been calling internet "piracy" to date. Individuals copying, cracking, and distributing software bears almost no resemblance to organized "crews" deploying professionally written malware ("ships") for monetary gain in ways that can harm hundreds or thousands of innocent bystanders in the process.
Are you saying that you don't believe people obey the laws, or that following the laws is insufficient to be adequately ethical?

Do you think that if a few powerful people do get treated differently, that means the system is totally corrupt regardless of whether ordinary people have constraints and generally do what they should?
I personally don't care whether it was or wasn't terrorism. Either way, you and I are never going to know (barring a Russian whistleblower). I was just commenting on the bizarre and coordinated behavior of the U.S. media.
> this is a pretty clear-cut discrimination case.

Its clear cut discrimination, sure, but discrimination based on disability is only prohibited if it is against “a person with a disability who meets all of a position's legitimate job requirements and can perform the essential functions of the position with or without reasonable accommodation.” [0]

The question isn't “is this discrimination” but is the requirement to use the software in question a “legitimate job requirement” and/or an “essential function” that the worker cannot do without accommodation, and for which no reasonable accommodation is available with which the worker would be able to perform the function.

Except that they don't dictate what is produced or curate what is posted. They simply moderate content in accordance with this agreed to by anyone who does. That doesn't make them content producers, it makes them content platforms no different than a bulletin board in a town square where the mayor comes along a few times a day to remove advertisements for sex workers and drug dealers or false and misleading information that might cause confusion or harm.
1. On your phone, you can use one app for recurring things that get done quickly (I use Loop Habit Tracker), and another app for more bigger/long-term/once-off tasks that might lapse (I use Tasks.org and it's pretty friendly with postponing - it gives you a few options and you select one).

2. You can get Loop Habit Tracker to automatically put the things you do on time at the top so it's easy to get started. You can archive things you don't want to focus on, to reduce the size of the list.

3. I feel good when the list gets shorter.

4. If you have the easy tasks at the top, it's easy to get started.

5. Tasks.org lets you color things by priority. I never bother because I keep my list short and hide things until a week/day before they're due.

6. Tasks.org can do subtasks. I think doing such granular stuff in an app is limited and I prefer to just scribble some notes on paper, but I understand more could be done.

7. Tasks.org lets you view categories.

I've never found an app that does everything I want, so I think you're right in that a lot more could be done, but I've no interest in writing Java or messing about with virtual machines etc. so I'm quite happy with the options I've got on my phone. Overall, I use two apps, paper and my own note taking system on my desktop (for quickly taking notes that come back later, which I can postpone, search through etc.)

Some people are more conscientious, and they probably don't need many reminders. I'm not so conscientious, and my process helps me keep going, and I would rather make it all as robotic as possible so I don't have to deliberate.
