The intention to prevent child sexual abuse material is indeed laudable. But the "solution" is not. Especially when we all know that this "solution" gives a legal backing to corporates to do even more data mining on its users, and can easily be extended (to scan even more "illegal" content) and abused into a pervasive surveillance network desired by a lot of government around the world.

For those wondering what's wrong with this, two hard-earned rights in a democracy go for a toss here:

1. The law presumes we are all innocent until proven guilty.
2. We have the right against self-incrimination.

Pervasive surveillance like this starts with the presumption that we are all guilty of something ("if you are innocent, why are you scared of such surveillance?" or "what do you have to hide if you are innocent?"). The right against self-incrimination is linked to the first doctrine because compelling an accused to testify transfers the burden of proving innocence to the accused, instead of requiring the government to prove his guilt.
Yep. Grid Engine 10 is slated to have a lot more infrastructural updates and we’re departing from some technical decisions that should make the developer experience much better.

We are held up by releasing the next version due to existing contracts we’re working on, and expanding the business.

The next version will have explicit commercial support on the website and a community version.
It's usually pretty easy to get a .com if you're willing to put a prefix like "get" or a suffix like "app" on it or something -- or both ("getbluebirdapp.com" isn't taken). Or combine the brand name with the product class ("bluebirdhumidifiers.com"). Or any non-obvious two-word combo, really.

But yeah, if you want a .com that's a single-word brand name without any prefixes/suffixes, basically everything's been taken for a long time.
These are the papers I've been wondering why didn't exist ;)

Thanks!

Because the dog isn’t a solution.

If the person has symptoms, they need a swab. If they don’t have symptoms and you’re suspicious of infection (eg they are a close contact), they need a swab. The robot can’t do that.

Also, does the dog cost $75k and that’s it? Or is there ongoing costs, upgrades and running repairs? It might not need sick days, weekends or vacations, but it can’t do a fraction of the work a human can.
TL;DR: Read into how others do it until you gain enough knowledge to come up with new methods yourself.

To be honest, I'd start with the Wikipedia articles[1] for the high-level fundamental overview and drill down into the linked technical documents[2] as curiosity takes you.

On many PC systems, you can compile an executable for the UEFI environment, place it onto the UEFI volume by mounting the partiton, and change a file to have it execute on startup.

On more secure systems, you'd utilize a chain of exploits to accomplish compromise.

Also check out security researcher blogs and read CVE reports[3].

Yes indeed, and discussion of the title of the startup, and how it fits into the wider social landscape is very much relevant here, don't you think?

Also if you are under the impression I'm writing to score some "points" I can assure you you're mistaken.

How are they a monopoly? There's literally thousands of TLDs now. It's like saying Apple has a monopoly on iPhones.
8 kinds of UUIDs, because we already had 4 too many.
I think like many have pointed out, there's a messaging issue. I want to feel like I'm welcome, even though I'm not culturally black, to consume content created by black creators on a platform that helps promote that content. I like k-pop, I like Bollywood, I like Sister Deborah, I generally enjoy experiencing other culture. I don't need attenuation. One of the strengths of America is the capacity for cultural exchange. "Netflix for black people" does not achieve that. It makes me feel unwelcome on the platform and triggers angst related to my opposition to the idea of asserting ownership over and further segregating sub-cultures being part of the solution space. If BlackOak is truly trying to promote black cultural exchange, then don't use exclusive language. I really have no problem with a production company like BET geared at being a space to promote a given subculture. Personally, If I was the founder, I'd welcome this type of feedback even if it feels tired because the appropriate messaging may be integral to the success of the venture.

Edit: Want to also point out that in practice we don't seem to attenuate messaging in black pop culture. It's some of the most explicit sexual and sometimes violent content in existence and it appears all over radio, TV, and the internet. I'm not saying it's exclusively that, but it doesn't seem to suffer from expectation that it be attenuated "for white people". If that were happening I'd immediately be on the side of any effort to stop censoring it because I believe in freedom of expression.
I guess if a bunch of wealthy people came to Detroit and bought properties and extracted rent from much poorer citizens with less upward mobility and nearly no chance to own a property of them own, that would be the same problem.
tl;dr

Use UUIDv4 and get on with your day.
I really don't like the comments here. Why do people assume that the Mozilla foundation is a clueless scammer? Before questioning their methods and motives, how about reading what the site says:

In 2017, when we first started Privacy Not Included, we didn’t know if people would be interested in a guide about the privacy and security of connected toys, gadgets, and smart home products. Turns out, they were. [--]" https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/privacynotincluded/about/w...
Those of us that grew up in the third world know how ridiculous Americans can be when it comes to these comparisons.

Anyone can get a minimum wage job and earn a relatively high living in the US. In the third world, you can work your ass off, be incredibly successful, and still live in squalor.
I agree completely. Though I’m confused by your use of the world slur. Are you referencing my use of “whyt”?

Happy to discuss if you’re interested in discussion.
> Can other Android flavours like GrapheneOS or LineageOS do this?

There's a separate question you're missing: what your Google Services situation is

Distros like Lineage come without Google Services; if you want them, you install them yourself

"gapps" is the official one. It's straight Google everything. Lineage OS + gapps will give you a very clean and nice Android experience if you don't care about Google collecting your data.

If you do care about that, you have two options:

1) go without Services entirely (most apps will have problems; if you're lucky they just won't send push notifications or be able to use your location, if you're unlucky they will be flat out broken or crash)

2) use microG, which is an unofficial non-Google replacement masquerading to the rest of the system as Google Services. I've heard mixed things about how well it works, but that appears to be what CalyxOS comes with. You can install it on Lineage, but I don't know what extra hoops may have to be jumped through. Note that it's also walking a fine line with Google and I could see them intentionally breaking it at any time down the road. Depend on it at your own risk.

I care about privacy and I would not buy a degoogled Android phone today. I switched to iPhone a few years ago after roughing it without Google Services for a year and a half. It was fairly awful.

I once had to return some headphones because the app that went with them simply wouldn't work.

I had to use a combination of the Google Maps web app and OSMAnd (which was just atrocious) for navigation, which basically meant I didn't really have navigation.

Slack wouldn't send me push notifications.

I couldn't use my banking app.

Even Signal struggled to run in the background/send me notifications.

It was basically back to the iPhone 1 days where your phone could text, call, web browse, take pictures and play (local) music. Though even the iPhone 1 had a functioning Maps app.
Middle class means different things in different cities, even within the US (and in some cases between cities in a single state). You simply cannot classify someone based on a number alone.
Correct, our two audiences are delivering a professional grade 2D game engine that surpasses what’s possible with Unity 2D to hobbyists with Grid Engine 9 and Grid Engine 10 Community Edition, and then delivering to small studios on Grid Engine 10 Professional Edition.

The company has been around for 11 years and was previously a Source Engine contractor. So if it seems strange that company has been doing nothing for a decade, it’s because it’s not our primary revenue stream, but up until now has been our largest open source product that I plan on commercializing.

It’s a very slow process, but one that I think we can still outpace Unity’s 2D offering on, considering that they do not deliver solutions our organization has needed for several years. And that’s their primary revenue source.

It's also easy to get to 124 if you are a library with very few private functions -- in that case almost any change breaks ABI.
They're not trying to promote Black cultural exchange. That's not the point. Rather, argumentative message board nerds are telling them that's what they need to be doing, rather than serving the customers they really need to love them. They would do well not to take that advice, not least because it is not, in the main, well-intentioned.
He voted for this. I've got no sympathy for him.
Doing an extra round of hashing wouldn't hurt though, right?

Either the hashes are very different and you can already tell from them (but the art will also be different) or they are very similar (someone trying to sneak a close-enough hash by you) and then the second round of hashing leads to very different art.

YEEEESSSS

Minority Report is my go-to example for sexy, total impractical.
Regulation != totalitarianism

It's also unnecessary for all regulation to be from governments. Regulation is a the result of feedback mechanisms (monitor and respond) which can include quite a few things. There are natural feedback mechanisms like the consequences on the environment or ecology (overfishing). There are market feedback mechanisms like price pressure. There are internal to the organization feedback mechanisms like when companies skip investment into maintenance and find their factories blowing up or simply not operating for hours, days, or weeks at at time.
At least in a slum like a favela you have sturdy cinderblock walls, a door that locks, some sort of a latrine situation solved, running water, and electricity, rather than a nylon tent and some debris on the sidewalk with no plumbing.
It would probably kill the battery to do that constantly, as the processor would not be able to sleep ever. Although relying on energy efficiency to not improve is not a good long term situation.

"Bury the lede" here was used semi-ironically. The article reads like something dramatic that we should be concerned about.

However, the effects are not felt for 80+ years, so, presumably, that concern will evaporate for most people alive today, as they will certainly not experience these externalities.

Thus at the end, the click-bait nature of this article is revealed, as the author notes at the end, that all this dire concern will simply not influence the vast majority of decisions, as concerns about climate change have for the last 30 years.

I use "bury the lede" ironically as someone who read this article as something that may, finally, change the idiotic production and development patterns we've been following in the face the climate change threat, when instead, the real part of the story is that, no, no one will care.
Even in his worst-case apocalyptic scenario, by his own definition, you'd have a world full of individuals living their best, happiest, most free lives while the poorly defined "whole" is suffering (somehow?). If "society" is faring poorly but each and every single individual member of it is doing great, then maybe that view of "society" isn't something that needs to be nurtured.
I've seen plenty of the virus first hand. It's bad. ~5x worse than the flu, which everyone knows is awful. (Though of the 1,000+ people in my closest circle, 100x more life has been lost in the past 1.5yr from things other than COVID, despite well over ~100+ known contacts with it). If you haven't had it, looking at the numbers, I think the vaccine is a good bet, increasingly good as your age and/or weight increases.

But a vaccine provides 0 benefit (0 with a capital "Z"), if you've recovered. It's an absolute no brainer that this is the case. If your body wasn't capable of learning an immune resistance from actually having the virus, then vaccines wouldn't work. When public health figures claim that recovered should get vaccinated anyway, even though it goes against theory, empirical data, and clinical trial data, you have to question their credibility. Then you look at their dissolution of the placebo control group. Then you look at their decision to stop tracking breakthrough cases. None of this is acceptable. One must have high standards.

When you have an idea in engineering and you think it's amazing, you have to keep measuring and questioning that. If your data shows that it's not as amazing as you claim, the solution isn't to hide evidence, it's to keep going, keep measuring, and try harder.
Even with cost of living comparisons, an American making minimum wage can easily afford a mobile phone, particularly a cheap $25 phone.

In many parts of the world that mobile phone will require substantial budgeting over several months to afford.

> wasnt darwin based on freebsd anyway?

Darwin is more directly derived from NeXTSTEP, BSD, and Mach, though the XNU kernel includes a number of elements from FreeBSD including the network stack, and the userland is largely FreeBSD.

if you have $100 a day of disposable income, you are not going to spend all of it every afternoon. if you do, your actual disposable income is much higher.

money for discretionary spending is not the same as disposable income.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/disposableincome.asp
defines disposable income as net income, that means after taxes but before living expenses.

https://www.investopedia.com/insights/americas-slowly-disapp...
defines middle class in the US as a disposable income from 35k to 106k a year.

if you spend all your discretionary money on going out with your friends and not on any other hobbies, traveling, gifts, etc, then maybe you can spend $100 every weekend afternoon.
It used to be that iOS was the recommended phone OS if you were looking for the best combination of privacy and security. Even Daniel Micay (the lead developer of GrapheneOS) thought so, 2 years ago [0]. But these ROMs are looking much more mature these days. Anyone have thoughts on how CalyxOS and GrapheneOS compare to iOS in the present day?

Mozilla needs to drop the whole 'we need the web equivalent of a slave uprising'/'more than deplatforming' thing
'Base load can be provided through carbon neutral sources, such as the burning of rest-mass left over from crop production.'

This statement is very uncalibrated. Biomass is possible just as much as tidal power but that doesn't make it viable for scale. It's not even part of the conversation.

'Smart control of appliances is another way in which the need for baseload power could be reduced'

Wrong. Smart control of appliances is used to shift demand from peak load not base.

Storage is not optional to make renewables base load.

'But it need not be so, not every source of pleasure or quality of life needs a combustion engine or a plug.'

You are obviously trivializing quality of life. High energy consumption means access to quality products and services in food, transport, education, entertainment and healthcare at minimum.

Unfortunately your arguments are uncalibrated so I will stop.

Ok... but this still isn't even within orders of magnitude of 'upper class', is it?
Because in reality every change is breaking to someone. Some just break more stuff than others.

No software story is more classic than the bugfix breakage. There is a reason versions are pinned. There is a reason lockfiles exist.

---

Whatever your intentions, versioning is HIGH.MEDIUM.LOW breakage.

I don't degenerate versioning at all; I find it to be very helpful. But don't pretend it guarantees something that it can't.

Versioning is simply a best-effort communication of risk.
I've never made this distinction in my head.
It's regular 3D GL; put vec3s in your vertex attributes, write your shader, turn on depth testing, the usual.

Hi there, author here.

I'll take a look at those `pre` elements this weekend. I had no idea they were broken on chrome. In fact... it looks like they're borked on Firefox as well. Thanks for the heads up on how to fix it, Wordpress seems to have been playing around with my formatting recently (probably my poor newbie practices)!

EDIT: That seems to have fixed it. Thanks for flagging it up, please let me know if it's still broken!

I find it peculiar that the Introduction section on these drafts is always just boilerplate.
Which of the 5 existing kinds of UUID do you consider the One True UUID? No matter which you pick, I guarantee that there's something badly wrong with it for at least one common use-case that can be improved by switching to either v4 (IMHO the only one of the existing types worth using) or to one of the new proposed UUID types.
I'm in a similar boat as in the first quote: Have used emacs for decades, glad that I do, can't imagine switching... don't think I would recommend it to anyone new, unless they are really open about learning something entirely different.

Emacs seems to be in the same position as LaTeX: Outdated paradigms that would probably need an entire redesign from the ground up to start "making sense" in the modern world. This starts with (nowadays) non-conformant shortcuts, includes window/buffer management (the terminology alone is archaic: panes are windows and windows are frames), and ends with elisp, which even Lisp programmers themselves rebuke.

But such a do-over is impossible in both LaTeX and emacs, since that would also mean throwing all the thousands (ten thousands?) packages--and lots of core functionality--away. Stuff that has accumulated for many decades and that is the reason why we're sticking with it: Everything else feels very limited in comparison.

And it's not just the "big" things. When I want to sort a few lines in a region and immediately discover that I can just call "sort-lines", because of course I can, I know that I'm not going to bother waiting for some other editor to catch up in all those little things.

Admittedly, I haven't tried modern distributions like spacemacs and DOOM Emacs, but it's a bit hard for me to imagine that you won't need to come face to face with "emacsism" at some time.
They're a monopoly on .com. Reasonable or not, .com is still widely seen as more authoritative than other TLDs, even .net and .org.
It sounds like you are away from home feel a sense of freedom and got sucked into a downtown lifestyle with no budget. I don't understand why out of towners move downtown and only downtown where local people have moved to other areas of the city because of price and affordability. Somehow downtown feels safe because as a tourist that's what you see. For those moving get out of the downtown core and be able to afford your city.
The one in Portland has a couple dozen people living in it and has existed for maybe a year. It is routinely cleaned up/moved to different locations as well, hence a "camp". The population of a single slum in Mumbai (Dharavi) is over a million and has existed since the 1800s. Are you really concerned that they don't receive the same international attention?
When comparing, don't compare in absolute dollars, but the purchasing power in the local economy.
