How did you determine that Quillette is an untrustworthy source? If you want to convince people, you have to give arguments, not just make statements of facts without anything to back them up.

Personally I don't consider Quillette a source of unbiased truth. Articles are typically written by a single author that has biases of their own, and the quality of argumentation and reputability of references cited varies greatly. Despite that, I feel like it's useful to read about counterpoints to popular narratives. This helps separate out the beliefs that people agree on and the ones that are in dispute.

For example, on the topic of insect extinction, it seems like both sides agree that:

- Habitat destruction reduces the prevalence of pollinators in human maintained land.
- No species of bee is at risk of going extinct.

It's telling that my comment was downvoted without any comment explaining what was wrong or bad about it. That confirms to me that people want to believe certain narratives in spite of available evidence, and it shows why alternative media like Quillette are absolutely crucial to allow unbiased people to inform themselves on both sides of the issues before forming a conclusion.
I am also building a self-hosted analytics platform[0] that has a MySQL/MariaDB database, and I provide a way of recording A/B test data, currently the visualization of the results is not that good so using a tool like GrowthBook makes sense. I assume that once the MySQL support is added, it would be possible to import userTrack data into GrowthBook?

What is the most popular and optimistic APL'ish community today?
So it can :). I know of the issues you mention, but they are toolkit problems, since they also happen on Windows. And OS X.
Honestly there's only one proper way to do it cross domain: Your Single Sign-On mechanism needs to pass a session identifier. Whether that's via a claim on an OAuth2 token (or an OIDC ID token) or an attribute in a SAML assertion, it needs to represent a particular session your IdP holds with the user agent.

Applications leveraging the SSO solution must check that the session identifier is still valid via some sort of API call.

When a client logs out and hits your SLO process, the session ID is marked as revoked. Queries to the API for that session ID will reveal it is revoked and all other interested parties will now know that the session is no longer valid and can take action.

Practically, this usually means checking the API on every page render or in the case of an SPA, every time a request is made. If you are willing to accept a delay in the log out propagating to other domains, you can cut back to every X requests or a particular interval of time, say 5 minutes.
I don't think it's meaningless. The head of WhatsApp publicly opposing it affects the conversation and social pressures. This matters because politics is downstream from culture. Certainly it's better than saying nothing or being in favor of it.
Exactly. Per Capita seems somewhat irrelevant here.
Nitpick, but your source, doesn't actually state what you claim. SpaceX didn't modify this crane for their own use.
Insightful reply, thanks.
Coupling metrics to experimentation is a huge red flag.

You should offload that onto DBT or some other data modeling tools.
Doing an extra round of hashing wouldn't do anything. If they were different before, now they might be the same. If the hashing algorithm is worth its salt (pun intended) then the original hash will be just as random as the hash of the hash, providing nothing of value.
But that is the nature of exploits. They often operate outside of a program modyfing its memory, applying visual aid etc.

Thus permissions like that are kind of required. Now, you can dispute if some random online lobby should perhaps have an option of "i dont care". However large group of gamers does care, especially in more competetive games as league of legends, csgo etc.
> Should I trust: A. The company which has thousands of developers working on it and wants to avoid their brand being dirtied by failures in security and privacy.

If you're hoping market forces would keep companies competitive and secure, well, people don't have much of a choice when it comes to mobile operating systems. Free market dynamics that should correct this problem don't really come into play when a two company cartel has 99.7% of the mobile operating system market nearly split in half between them.
Just because it's older doesn't mean it's worse. Next had designers and a product person CEO working on it, X11 did not.

End of the day one can drag windows around smoothly and resize them without flickering and have consistent drag and drop etc and the other does not.

Customer AND dev team both sound completely clueless. 20 pages with links to pdf is something a first years CS student can do. I'm wondering if there isn't more to the story (don't tell me it's a large government organization...)
> How do you make an equivalency to something from the 90s?

Many of the bells and whistles on cars should decrease its value as compared to a 90s car because it drastically increases repair costs.
> We don't even mention the giant logical leap from finding someone possessing CP to automatically considering them a child molester, yet someone posessing an action movie is not considered a murderer.

Are you suggesting it's OK to possess CP as long as you're not a molester? What a fucking idiot.
Embedding real-time analytics in applications
I don't think that's true. As software engineers, our job is to create working software that fits the needs of the clients. Raw coding is a part of that of that, but not the only one. Collaboration is important, knowing your tools is important, talking to people is important.

Code kata are a good example of people trying to stretch metaphors from other domains to fit software engineering. It usually doesn't really work. For athletes and musicians, the "performance" part is a small part (in terms of time) of their job. They spend way more time training. For software engineers, that's not the case. There is a spectrum of things more or less important, for sure, but nothing as clear cut as with music or sports.

The difference between deliberate practice and "mindless practice" is usually using a moment to reflect on what you did, and how things went. In scrum, this is often the sprint review. So by that definition, if you do your sprint review correctly, you're doing at least some form of deliberate practice. Same thing with code reviews, you have the opportunity to have other people look at your code and evaluate it. You can of course add to that your own for of review. But in general, as a industry, I'd say we're very focused on practicing on the job.

You and commenter are both going on about some specific flavor of poison that I never even mentioned -- keep beating that strawman down :^)

A cursory investigation reveals that at least 22(!) "vaccines" in current use contain Aluminum[1] (a heavy metal), while Thimerosal (Mercury, another heavy metal) is routinely added to others[2].

There is a lot of discussion about these vaccines being leaky ( they don't stop transmission ). Therefore the whole premise on which the pandemic response is based is flawed. We are not on a path to elimination.
> Just because it's older doesn't mean it's worse.

No, it doesn't. But means one cannot claim "it will always have little bits of jank, always have inconsistencies although all it does is draw objects on a screen" just because it is old, since it turns out it actually isn't. X11 does have a lot of cruft, but so does WindowServer.

> End of the day one can drag windows around smoothly and resize them without flickering and have consistent drag and drop etc and the other does not.

That is just a lie. I can easily make Firefox flicker on OS X while resizing and I can easily resize say Gtk+3 windows on X without flickering. And I have almost 3 4k displays...
Right, they guard the sanctity of your content fiercely. And make enormous bags of money off of your contact list, frequency and timing of contacts, awake timing, location, etc etc.

And even if you're in a country (only really Germany AFAIK) where the worst use of metadata for advertising is legally tricky... WhatsApp is the very definition of the fox guarding the henhouse. Do you really trust one of the largest data harvesters andy advertising marketplaces in the world to guard your data? Their business model literally depends on violating that trust. Do you honestly think that's a safe long term bet?
I dunno what you're reading. Or maybe it's your location.

I've got friends who make a good profit selling honey from their remote plots of land, going there a couple times a month.

There seems to be some leeway in the US. For example, Stephen King's book It has a very descriptive sex scene amongst a group of children which even gets into differences in penis size and how each of them responds to orgasm differently. That chapter suggests that is what "It" is. Needless to say the scene is completely omitted from both versions of the movie.
That's my point. The fact that carbon is ubiquitous to life on Earth is analogous to atoms being ubiquitous in our universe. There could be another universe where atoms don't exist, but who cares we don't live there, neither do we live in a part of the universe where life is not made out of carbon. There is absolutely nothing interesting about the fact that life is made out of carbon and that at the same time carbon can cause harm to said life if used improperly. Not sure why we keep going in circles.
What you're saying doesn't really jive with reality though. SpaceX needs a specialist crane because they need to stabilize the rocket from the side, not the top, during launch. If it got hit by too much wind it would fall over otherwise.

I took it as negative because you closed with this:

They were offered housing while they get back on their feet and chose not to take it.

It's full of implicit accusation that the homeless are difficult, uncooperative, causing their own problems and you can't help them because they are irrational pains in the butt.

I interpreted it that way in part because many homeless services are so bad they help keep the problem alive rather than helping to solve it.

As just one example: Most homeless people have serious health issues. It's an underlying cause of their financial problems and a barrier to employment.

But if you go to a soup kitchen, you are exposed to other sick people, plus cigarette smoke and marijuana smoke. I eventually quit going to soup kitchens and just worked at finding other ways to keep myself fed because my health issues are my number one problem making my life not work, so anything that makes it harder for me to take care of my health is a very serious problem.

I think we should lower the barrier to food stamps in the US. It's a good program that allows you to access food from normal middle class venues which are actually clean etc. I think we should do all we can to cut the bureaucratic costs and as much as humanly possible say "If you want food stamps, here you go" without asking people to prove they need them.

But I don't expect anything like that will ever happen. Talk of UBI appears to be code for "And now rich people can say Shut up. You are getting a check, you ingrate." rather than a genuine attempt to give meaningful relief to poor Americans.

Cutting a check is an easy answer to a hard problem, so likely won't solve anything.

I've listed my blogs elsewhere in another comment if you genuinely want to know more about what I think about homelessness, housing issues and community development.
The method Apple is using looks more like a cryptographic hash. That's entirely different (and more secure) than a perceptual hash.

From https://www.apple.com/child-safety/

"Before an image is stored in iCloud Photos, an on-device matching process is performed for that image against the known CSAM hashes. This matching process is powered by a cryptographic technology called private set intersection, which determines if there is a match without revealing the result. The device creates a cryptographic safety voucher that encodes the match result along with additional encrypted data about the image. This voucher is uploaded to iCloud Photos along with the image."

Elsewhere, it does explain the use of neuralhashes which I take to be the perceptual hash part of it.

I did some work on a similar attempt awhile back. I also have a way to store hashes and find similar images. Here's
my blog post. I'm currently working on a full site.

What you mean is that privacy policy is above your pay grade. Everything below can be compromised by one choice at the top.
There is no value proposition. This tech is designed by software engineers for the purpose of harvesting the maximum amount of data about a a given person while giving him/her the thinnest possible veneer of value proposition. That's why mechanical wonders like the million-function wonder toilets of Japanese fame are not pushed - they do not allow companies to harvest as much data about its users, while taking actual engineering skills to design - a no-no proposition for these smart device companies.
Thanks...I think I'm going to give up before I even start. The gap is far wider than I had ever imagined.
In case you're wondering why you're being downvoted, a block diagram isn't a standard safety design, nor really a safety design at all per se. It is simply a connection graph of subcomponents.
Because that way of thinking encourages sending hundreds, thousands, or millions of competitors and because (as shown by sports that don't allow one country to win multiple medals) the organizers of the sports don't think those other places matter either. We don't try to determine the world rankings of people who failed to qualify for the Olympics, nor should we try to determine the rankings of teams that fail to qualify from group play into elimination rounds of the Olympics, nor should we try to rank teams that are eliminated from elimination rounds that haven't played each other. They're top athletes, but the point of each Olympic sport is to determine the best. Any additional ranking computed beyond that is purely arbitrary.
Probably says more about how many people there are than the carbon production.
“Person who is about to become very wealthy promises that no one needs to feel wary about the event that will make them wealthy”.
It's interesting to look at the long term trends, especially when looking at some of the largest economies on the planet.

Comparing the US[0] and China[1], the US has:

- Decreasing per capita emissions in the US starting in 1973 (-27%)

- A decrease in the countries emission starting in 2007 (-13%)

Meanwhile for the same period China has had

- a 7x increase per capita since 1973 (+532%)

- 48% increase for its global emissions since 2007

So it is possible to drastically reduce our carbon footprint thanks to innovation and smarter power generation.

> The worst thing is basically not having Google Maps because while fdroid does work, it is not condusive to 'just looking things up real quick'.

If you're okay with a closed source navigation app, Magic Earth strikes a balance between Google Maps and FOSS apps such as Organic Maps. Magic Earth uses OpenStreetMap data but layers its own address search on top of it to cover addresses and landmarks that are not available on OSM.

Google Maps does work on CalyxOS and so does its most fully-featured proprietary competitor, HERE WeGo. But if you only want to use free and open source software, I understand.

Security flaws found in popular EV chargers – TechCrunch
This is hilarious. "Actual science", presumably meaning, "peer reviewed paper".

Science is not some elitist endeavor. It is available to all of us, to observe the world around us and form hypotheses and discuss them and test them, if we're motivated and it's possible.

This attitude is so, so bizarre. You won't believe the changes in the world around you, easily observed, are even happening unless there's "Science The Meme" being done about it.

This short youtube video succinctly explains the problem with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqEhPFIlH3U
> That doesn't leave a lot left.

It is high value information when only a few have it (I disagree that the majority of important things get human translated)

Using translate and dealing with people who's poor English is their second language is an important skill.

If HN is just recreation, so much so hard articles are flagged so not to interfere with that. That's ok.
> If you want unlimited privacy, at least have the balls to admit that this will allow free trade of CSAM, but also revenge porn, snuff-films and other things like it.

Sure, in exactly the same way that the postal system, parcel delivery services, etc. allow it. But that's not to say that such things are unrestricted -- there are many ways that investigation and enforcement can be done no matter what. It's just a matter of how convenient that is.

It would also restrict CSAM a lot if authorities could engage in unrestricted secret proactive searches of everybody's home, too. I don't see this as being any different.
> This seems somewhat counter productive

I'm guessing you mean counterintuitive.

That's one of the great things about the scientific method, that it tells you things you never would have guessed.

> how would that result with sea levels rising?

The Gulf Stream (part of the AMOC) brings warm water north, Evaporation happens (and the evaporated water rains out over land, where some is absorbed or flows south). The remaing sea water on the surface is now saltier and denser so sinks.

Without the AMOC, the surface water is less dense. The local mean sea level rises due to gravitational effects. Precipitation also happens more over the sea, freshening the surface sea water. Fresh water is most dense (compact) at 4 degrees Celsius. Salt affects this, but the less salt there is, the smaller the effect.

I guess when you crunch the numbers you get the result they state.

> would a new `current` not naturally establish

Last I checked, some years ago, I think it was believed that no new large-scale overturning current would establish for some thousands of years, which means the sea stratifies (settles into non-mixing layers), with a top relatively fresh and light layer over dense anoxic deeps.
Even still this has to go to the FBI or other law enforcement agency, then it’s passed on to a prosecutor and finally a jury will evaluate. I have a tough time believing that false positives would slip through that many layers.

That isn’t to say CASM scanning or any other type of drag net is OK. But I’m not concerned about a perceptual hash ruining someone’s life, just like I’m not concerned about a botched millimeter wave scan ruining someone’s life for weapons possession.
Do the humanity a favour and dont procreate, thanks.
Electricians are not really pulling cable to put your switches in convenient locations anymore. They’ll place a smart switch wherever requires least effort, and then give you a remote panel for it wherever you like. The remote panel looks like a normal switch but actually sticks onto intact drywall, no cutting required.

Not quite “IOT” but the bridge between that low power network and the internet is a natural add on.

It'll start with protecting children. We all want to protect children, don't we? Why do you want children abused? Are you a child abuser, what do you have to hide?
