This is so awful. I trusted Apple because of their stance on privacy — I felt as though I could trust them so I bought into their ecosystem and now my iPhone is basically the nerve center of my life. I keep everything on my iPhone and access all my primary services through it. All with the confidence that all I have to do is push the lock button five times and all of it is locked away behind a very long diceware pass-phrase and that nobody, not even the government, could pry into it. So reading all the headlines tonight was like a physical punch to the gut. All of a sudden I’m tasked with migrating all my shit somewhere else? I literally don’t even know where to begin… it’s going to take me weeks to research everything and find a new device. I don’t even know if there is an alternative device.

And no matter what move I make next, it’s going to be a downgrade in hardware specs. What a bummer.

And here’s another thing. In the OP, they make it sound as if the imaginary mark was a female. We all know that females won’t be affected in any way. Most females will probably not even care about this. Because they don’t know what it’s like to be nervous around children or to have to make sure you are never alone with children even by accident or happenstance because everyone assumes that you are a pedophile, rapist kidnapper. Leery looks from adults all the time whenever there are young girls around. It’s a uniquely male experience. It’s also uniquely male to have your guts cut open and ripped out by your cell mate. When people start being brought in for a hash match and then they find incedental images of young girls that look like they might not be 18, innocent MEN are going to die.
Also government contracts, at least in the US, have to be authorized by an appropriations bill from Congress. A federal agency can't just go to Congress and ask for an unknown amount of money to deliver a capability at an unknown date. Whether it ends up being right or not, and probably it usually isn't, appropriations bills have to be time-bounded and include a maximum dollar amount, and the awarded contract can't go longer or higher no matter what the engineers think it will actually take.

So ... LineageOS (without GApps) on Pixel or OnePlus hardware? (Purchased directly from the manufacturer, not a carrier!)
I’m not 100% sure what’s behind the feeling of “creeped-outness”, but my immediate intuition is that it has to do with a sense of possible threat from an unfamiliar person, ie “stranger danger”.

One way of reducing that is to connect through the current shared reality. Small talk is basically this sort of connection. For example, standing in line at the DMV, perhaps you notice the person behind you looks disengaged and bored as well. “At least this line is moving a little faster than I expected.” The person might respond with short chuckle, “Hah, yep.” Or they might expand on your thought, “Yeah, I was here last week and it was nuts.” That introduces an opportunity for further conversation, “Oh really? We’re they not able to help you that time?”, etc

Even if the person just answers with a short laugh or an even more basic eyebrow raise, that short interaction can increase your comfort, and help train your brain to find those moments for small talk.

The times I’ve ever been blown out by a stranger are when our energy levels vary wildly, ie they are hyped up and I’m sitting still, or vice versa, or they’re in a group of people, etc. Otherwise, people generally seem welcoming to that quick connection because of the increased comfort it can cause, even if the conversation itself is inconsequential or trivial.
Probably hardware. GPS either requires a bootstrap starting point or it has to completely solve the equations to calculate the location (slow!).

Expensive phones triangulate via towers (fast!) and use that to bootstrap the GPS unit. Some GPS units don’t support that bootstrapping and are, thus, slower.
Once you've been around in this software business for long enough you see the same articles written over and over again... there will always be articles about estimating software, yet there is no solution to this problem.

Anyhow, it doesn't matter. Software devs are the lowest cog, they don't get to extend the delivery date. All the layers above - management, marketing, sales etc need a date to work to to deliver their work, and they generate the $$$. No-one cares if the software is low quality, as long as it is delivered. Dev team can do further updates to bug fix after delivery. The end.

> electric cars seem to chew through tires more quickly due to the weight of the vehicles and the high torque. No sources at hand for this, either…

A Nissan LEAF weighs about the same as a Honda CR-V. Smaller EVs weigh less.

A large-battery EV will weigh more. The Tesla Model S, for example. But not all EVs have large batteries.

As for living near roadways in general, it has an unhealthy effect on "30%-45% of the North American urban population" according to the American Lung Association. [1]

> While I still use google maps, I've been trialing out OSM alternatives for a minute.

Is there a way to set up Android to handle shared locations without Google Maps?

Every time someone shares location with me (in Telegram) it displays as a tiny picture and once I click it it says I have to install Google Maps (I use an alternative for actual maps and don't have Google Maps installed). So I end up zooming the picture and then finding the location on the map manually.
That's probably why articles like this get written so often. The companies who create enterprise software seem to think they're still working on scale.

And I don't intend my loot box reference to be taken too seriously. The gaming industry isn't any better. As an obvious example, Cyberpunk 2077 was delivered as a hot mess only to meet overhyped timelines.

But look at games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, etc. They work very diligently to ensure the core gameplay is solid so streamers will provide eyeballs, driving lootbox sales. Whales provide the biggest investments there, with some individuals spending thousands of dollars for cosmetic lootboxes in what would otherwise be a free game.

Then look at games like Quake Champions which should've been successful in the same way, and completely failed because they didn't focus on making the core game tech (net code specifically) rock solid before attempting to monetize. They immediately lost the pro crowd and failed to convert the people playing Quake Live (or even the die hard Q3A players).

Enterprise software often doesn't spend enough time improving core process loops, or worse, provides too many core loops making the experience disjointed and unproductive.
It’s common for cops to require bribes to investigate crimes in developing countries. Not every time, but almost every interaction can end up as a shakedown.

I was involuntary celibate until I was 23 (16 years ago): I was very good at math and science, but I wasn't able to make relationships with women. Still, I was very far from being a violent person (even though I was very frustrated because of my lack of ability to connect with other people), in fact whenever I was in a threat, I ran away, and never started a fight.

It's very dangerous to put incels (a third of young American men) in the same group as extremists.

Exactly this.

If this was a hash then it would be as the parent describes, this is at best a very fuzzy match on an image to take into account blurring/flipping/colour shifting.

It's vastly more likely that innocent people will be implicated for fuzzy matches on innocuous photos of their own children in shorts/swimming clothes than it is to catch abusers.

The other thing is, when you have nothing to hide you won't take efforts to hide it - meaning you'll upload all of your (completely normal) photos to iCloud without thinking about it again.

The monsters making these images know what they're doing is wrong, so they'll likely take efforts to scramble or further encrypt the data before uploading.

tldr; it's far likelier that this dragnet will only even apply to innocent people, than it is to catch predators.

All this said, I'm still in support of Apple taking steps in this direction, but it needs far more protections put in place to prevent false positives than this solution allows. A single false accusation by this system, even if retracted later and rectified, would destroy an entire family's lives (and could well cause suicides).

Look what happened in the Post Office case in the UK as an example of how these things can go wrong - scores of people went to prison for years for crimes they didn't commit because of a simple software bug.
Fair enough, but target data in this sense IS a full distribution of Batmen. This approach is towards the goal of creating a broad dataset and fitting a full Batman model. We are training on a narrower subset of our actual target data and fitting to that narrow subset, whether you want to call that overfitting or not I suppose depends on your perspective.

I agree intuitive definitions are often murky, but given we are already throwing in murky notions of intention that are implicit in the word "target", I think an at least colloquial usage of overfitting is appropriate.

Sometimes we try micro-models on broader domains than what we expect they will work for, and they work fine. Sometimes not. The point is that the target here is not well defined because we are just using them as annotation tools with some human supervision and not in a "typical" production environment.

More than that, they relate to proxies. This sentence seems the crux to me:

> If you're coding an HTTP/2 server, especially one that supports downgrading, enforce the charset limitations present in HTTP/1 - reject requests that contain newlines in headers, colons in header names, spaces in the request method, etc.
Replying to myself, from https://theconversation.com/s-165250 :

> For younger people who are unwell enough to be hospitalised with COVID-19, the outcomes can be quite serious. A large study from the United Kingdom showed 27% of 19 to 29-year-olds admitted to hospital suffered some form of organ damage to the liver, lungs or kidneys

What's it got to do with (specifically) limes or the beach? 'Corona' ~ 'crown'; the 'solar corona' is 'the luminous plasma atmosphere surrounding the sun'.

(Perhaps I'm misunderstanding/leaping but it seems like you're implying it's named for people cutting limes to serve with that brand of beer?)

I would assume somewhat like 'sun-kissed' it's simply named for being 'crowned' (coronaed) by the sun.
> But more importantly, you should investigate how your LB or webserver talks to the web app. In many cases that part won't be TLS encrypted and therefore on an HTTP/1.1 channel.

Or even HTTP 1.0 . I found out recently while inspecting some requests in the upstream server that nginx was using HTTP 1.0 after terminating TLS. I was dumbfounded that this was still the default.

Sure by these measures I'm rich, but I don't feel that way. Our current income isn't really indicative of the whole picture. Since I was diagnosed as Bi-Polar 20 years ago, I have averaged 2 months of unemployment per year, and just spent 13 months without income due to my inability to cope with the stress of the world.

Today I'm rich. Tomorrow I could be living in a van for 6 months like I did after the 2001 bubble burst.
> There was also some indication a while back that they would delete 'pirated content' - i.e. anything some algorithm detects you "shouldn't have" [2]

You should read the linked article more carefully. It makes an incorrect conclusion. IANAL, but if you read the EULA lines carefully, you'll see thst they're saying, basically, "We might auto-update software, which may incidentally break your pirated version, and we're sorry and don't want to get sued if this happens to you".

You know, there was a time when people stopped buying cheap shirts made in English factories that employed kids. They were good shirts, too.

Is it worth it, though? Is being "better for mobile computing purposes" worth all of this, and whatever else will come next - which we know is just a matter of time, because no one cares enough to stop buying from them?
As I have mentioned, my experience is about both: a 10 year old version of FF was crazy slow, Quantum is tolerable but still slower than Chrome, gets even much slower as soon as you install some extensions and still is uncomfortable to use on old PCs (e.g. 2013 MacBook Air). Chrome works perfectly fast on everything incl a >10yr old Core 2 Duo laptop.

I am a huge Firefox fan and don't even mind some tolerable amount struggle but have to admit this.

I once tried to migrate my girlfriend (who has the 2013 MacBook Air) to Firefox (Quantum). As she tried it she immediately told me she doesn't want it because it feels slow. Chrome apparently has some bug which makes eat up 100% of the CPU on the same machine often but works faster even when it does this.

This still has to be addressed if we want Firefox to become more popular. "Just disable all the extensions" (mostly meaning featured extensions recommended by Mozilla, e.g. uBlock Origin) is not a good answer, neither is "buy a powerful modern computer".
Pretty awesome. I use this along with MongoDB.app and Redis.app makes a lot of small tasks easier.
Spend some time around defense attorneys and the types of people who constantly get in trouble for domestics. This would just be one of the many other things politicians have foisted on the poor (who have less self-control, else they would not be poor) that put them into continual conflict with the legal system long after they have served their prison sentences.

If you want domestics to go to jail for 50 years, change the statutes so that there's mandatory minimums of 50 years in prison. Or life, who cares? The chickenshit stuff of larding lifelong restrictions on convicts related to domestic abuse results in the unending harrying of poor bums with complex post-sentencing requirements involving guns, cars, etc. that keeps lawyers busy, cops doing make-work, and poor people poor.

Adding terrorism nonsense to the mix will just encourage the FBI to employ thousands of CIs to induce working class couples to cheat on one another with their catfished agents to get one or both to commit 'terrorism' to lock them up.
> electrical cars are likely to be worse off than regular cars due to generally higher weight.

Given that a Nissan LEAF weighs about the same as a Honda CR-V, and that there are many EVs that have the same weight or are lighter than the Nissan LEAF, I would say that you are considering only a select group of EVs.
>Having lived in the "countryside" most of my life, it would absolutely increase "car dependence" (and thus pollution) for people to move there. Public transportation simply isn't possible on those scales.

It's also not needed most of the time, and surely not everyday.

Plus, the US model of "countryside" life is not the same as in Europe or elsewhere: e.g. "We had maybe a dozen neighbors within a mile of us. Town was 5 miles away. School was in town. We had a nursery next to us, but the next nearest job was in town."

That's not countryside, that sounds like some a rural desert.

Countryside in most of Europe e.g. is networks of villages, that are more or less autonomous.
The tailpipe emissions on modern gasoline vehicles have very low particulates (and low NOx, which reduces particulate formation in the resulting air).
I'm only half joking - Russia is the leader in vaccine skepticism and still has the lowest vaccination rates.

Even if certain regions mandate it for some workers, I think rates will remain low and people will oppose it. To be honest I'm not sure where to go. It's very hard to avoid the geopolitical arm of the US government - and the US government is hellbent on giving every man/woman/child the RNA shots. I'm not optimistic my life won't be ruined because of this vaccine.

> This caused confusion because the the user did not understand that a online view of the files is not the same as having the files on your computer.

I think that's the crux of the problem. The concept of files should not be estranging to anyone. It's the weird mix between native GUI and online GUI that's confusing here.

Modern smartphones have abstracted files into specific names inside specific apps. Every file is in their own little app, and the idea that a document and a picture can live right next to each other is starting to look foreign.

I believe this babification of user interfaces is taking away fromtthe computer experience. The arcane menus and knowledge Windows 98 required is luckily a thing I'd the past, but the concept of "web browser or file browser" shows a dangerous lack of knowledge about the system in use. This isn't a problem for random DOCX files, but it makes phishing very easy. After all, if the user doesn't know that there's a difference between the browser and the rest of their computer, how will they ever doubt those messages about their computer being infected by a virus?

People use computers every day for many tasks, but their education seems to have halted around ten years ago. Kids are growing up solely with the smartphone model in mind, of apps and sandboxes and no way to move information with anything but the "share" button, so it's only a matter of time before that concept is also simplified.

Interfaces should be intuitive but computers should not be used without knowledge of the core concepts like "what is a program" and "what is a file". We can try to fix this by making even leakier abstractions, but what we really need is education.

Unless they filter the tyres, this will not be "solved".

That's not to say there isn't truth to it in this case, or there aren't battles still to be fought for women's rights but ironically I think its constant search for this sort of spin is weirdly paternalistic.
> but they've been changing things for no good reason and breaking the UI/UX because of it.

The reason is the underlying Gecko engine being constantly yanked from under them — they rely on parts of Firefox's codebase and when that changes, they have to keep up, risk having security vulnerabilities or manually backport relevant security patches, in effect maintaining their own forked browser engine.

It's been 3 months since I started an interview series with remote workers
Howdy!

I'm Luc.
I've launched Remotewx

Remotewx is a remote job board on the web to help you find a career where you can work remotely from anywhere. I only accept listings for job positions that are fully remote. Most of the companies I share are distributed or remote-first companies.

It's been 3 months since I started an interview series with remote workers.
The interviews are intended to help others who are planning a future in remote work.

I ask people who are completely remote how they make remote working work for them.

The questions are for example:
- Can you share a bit about yourself - who you are, what you do?
- What's your remote working story?
- What do you love most about it?

Read all Remote Stories here:
https://remotewx.medium.com/

Are you interested in this topic? Do you have something to contribute?

Best,
Luc
> The important point is I can't choose to not get the virus, but I can choose to not get the vaccine.

I disagree. You can choose not to be affected by the virus by taking the vaccine. That's the whole point of the vaccine. So the question really is: what are the odds that something bad happens to me with the vaccine and with the virus. Since there are no reasons to think that there will be long term effects with the vaccine, and at worst, no more reasons than with the virus, one has to look at the short term and this clearly favors the vaccine.

> It is translation to the, from a security point of view, problematic HTTP/1 that is the problem.

Parts of the HTTP/2 spec. specify what malformed headers look like, so this bug is almost entirely in the code not validating those HTTP/2 headers. This also isn't something that a few high school dropouts got wrong on their side projects, several major services got it wrong. Given that the spec. made at least some attempts to warn its implementers maybe future standards need a security section titled "Important: Why ignoring security advisory in standards is a bad idea".
For sensitive content you can store like nudity, you can use some neural networks trained on a dataset you can manually check and sanitize, and you won't be susceptible to this attack.

But if you can't store the data and you are only allowed to store hashes, you become dependent of the quality of the hash database which is troublesome to verify, and therefore susceptible to poisoning.

How hard the game will be for the various players is not really the point, given that it's a game that shouldn't be played : only Apple know the rules and can verify them, and not even Apple should have legal access to offensive raw database to check that it hasn't be poisoned.

If they use some neural networks, it can easily turn into a PR disaster, once someone take their weights and use a Generative neural network to hallucinate offensive content based on the weight they release.
A Linux phone would be good, but not sufficient.

Once things like Apple is doing become normalized, the next step becomes making it illegal to distribute or use software that doesn't do it. So running your Linux phone will be illegal, and why would you want to do that anyway, except to look at child pornography?

Similarly, non-sanctionable digital currencies like Bitcoin will be made illegal.

Avoiding modern tech is a workaround, but will be get increasingly hard as the world becomes increasingly reliant on it. (Cash, also, will have to go away.)
