The first chapter of The Sound Book by Trevor Cox goes into great detail about this (but without getting deep into the math of it). Well worth the read for those interested in the acoustics of architecture and our perception of how it modifies the soundscape.
This will be used for anti-piracy, government censorship, and targeted attacks, as always. There's no such thing as "were only scanning for CP". By creating the tool the company can be compelled to use the tool in other ways by U.S. or foreign governments. Apple already complies with anti-lgbt countries and will change their app store to suite each one of them. What happens when they're required to also scan for LGBT materials? They'll comply, because apple doesn't actually have morals.

Ontop of this, it gives apple far too much power. What happens when someone they don't like owns an iphone? They can pull an FBI and put the content onto the device, and having it then "automatically detected".
When you realize that SMS is a hack and not a service that was designed from the ground up to do what it does it isn't all that surprising really.

Yeah, to me it reads ”that’s a nice theory you have, but now I’ll tell you mine, which I think is the correct one”.
For now I tend to agree with marvin here, but I may add something for this eventually. If you already know of some good APIs for grabbing the latest conversion rates, let me know. I want ProjectiFi to feel like it can quickly model most of your what-if scenarios, so support for different asset classes might make sense here, along with customizable growth rates over time (e.g. perhaps the same kind of interactive plot like the stock/bond allocation widget but for playing around with different potential crypto growth rates or something).
What’s so “fortunate” about that? If the rulers were liable to be cancelled as easily as plebs, maybe the plebs too would then be allowed due process.
You've got Cuomo getting an assist in smearing his accusers from both CNN and Facebook, two companies with some of the widest media reach on the frigging planet, and you're complaining about the bias of the NY Post in reporting it?

Retirement is a part of moving ahead. If you are moving into late 40's and haven't retired yet, or at least on a path, you are stagnating.

Whether you like it or not. You can't stop age, you can't stop biology.

You are stagnating in your job, when you should have retired.

This is all the more impressive because macaques generally display strong sexual dimorphism in size (males are ~45% bigger on average than females, vs. more like ~15% in humans). I wonder how big Yakei is.
While this example is a pretty simple and I agree that a bit shift is a fine solution, I’ve recently been doing work on some bit-oriented HDLC-like protocols I’m convinced Erlang is the only language that can manipulate binary data very well at the bit level.

A lot of experimentation these days is SDRs. But people still build. The founders of Elecraft met at a club focused on building radios and decided to monetize their hobby.
If it is, then expect everyone selling PCs to get a nicely worded letter from IBM about their BIOS. Any jurisdiction that rules differently will imperil their whole software industry.
And yet[1]:

75% of unvaccinated adults are "not worried about getting seriously sick"...

50%+ are not worried "about the Delta variant worsening the pandemic"...

50%+ say "getting vaccinated is a bigger risk than getting infected", and...

75% don't think the vaccines are effective.

So definitely a "PR problem" is those figures differ from reality. But you read these figures, and the outcome is obvious: "I'm not going to get seriously sick, the long-term effects of the vaccine are unknown, and the vaccine doesn't work anyway... so why should I get it?"

Not at all. I'm asking whether you have a diagnosis of a personality disorder because in all the conversations I've had with you and in all the conversations I've seen you have with others you seem to be incapable of seeing the other person's point of view even just to disagree with it and you don't seem to appreciate how the most disurbing parts of your interaction come across. That, to me, speaks of an uncommon state of mind compatible with a personality disorder.

As I say, I don't want to be unfair. If you do have a personality disorder there's no point in me being upset at your behaviour.

The bar for a fireable offense has been set extremely high in the last few years. That said, the Democratic party is largely still center-left, well-functioning, and with a working moral compass (for a political party), unlike that other authoritarian cult.

From everything I’ve read it sounds like the NY legislature plans to move expeditiously toward an impeachment, so I’m not sure he is able to keep the office.
This was my thought as well. Radar, microwave communication, satellites... all use radio technology. It's so pervasive it's almost invisible.
They mention a couple others in the article as well:

Bells on collars work, as does switching cats on to a premium, high-protein food diet, and giving them mental stimulation by playing with them in the morning. “Changing the cat’s food can reduce the amount of wildlife they kill by over a third,” says McDonald. “And playing with your cat, more than a quarter. These are positive actions for the cat that also have a positive outcome on their behaviour.”
The problem with these queries is that they just aren't realistic in a production system. Over time the queries become more complex, include more edge-cases and cruft, and your main goal is that they complete with accuracy rather than if it was 5s or 50s.

I’m not sure this is true? The $1000 version has absolutely ridiculous performance for it’s price class. To the point it’s nearly as good as my desktop system.

Nick Clegg is another notable political hire by Facebook. It seems like a tactic of theirs.

That study (at least the abstract) does not support your contention.

It makes the case that previously infected individuals do not need to be prioritised for vaccination, not that natural immunity is better than vaccine driven immunity.

The FAQ basically admit it was a design mistake to make "flexible typing" the default, but it is too late to fix due to backwards compatibility.

It is probably not as big a problem in an embedded database as it would be in a server-based database. Nevertheless "flexible typing" should have been an opt-in feature per column, not the default.
>windows TPM aren’t snitching on you?

The TPM FUD has really gone out of hand.

1. there's no such thing as "windows TPMs", whatever that means.

2. TPMs basically has zero access to the rest of the system. It's connected via a LPC bus, so there's no fancy DMA attacks to pull off. Over that bus the system firmware sends various hashes of the system state (eg. hash of your bootloader), but that's about it.

Congress Could Mandate Anti–Drunk Driving Technology in New Cars
OP didn't ask for an "alternative sources in certain newspapers", OP asked for a source from the AG's office.
Do you have any documentation on that?

The benchmarks on their website[1] compare it running on a 4 x 3.20GHz with hardware AES-N instructions, against an in-kernel implementation of a different cryptosystem running on a 2.7GHz cpu that does NOT have AES instructions. I also can't see anything that speaks to speed of the storage (or if this is controlled for), so I'm admittedly quite skeptical.

The numbers they do publish aren't particularly impressive to me either, so we may also have wildly different ideas about what "quite high performance" even means.

Yes, only Americans seem to have any degree of agency or capability of having unbiased discussions online.
They’ve been allowed for decades to avoid paying for the infrastructure and management of the country while simultaneously holding most of the influence.

“Renouncing citizenship” means they’ll give up none of the influence, lose the taxes, live how and wherever they want.

The best thing to do is forbid them re-entry into the country nor to hold controlling interest in any company in the US.

Faced with actual consequences and true separation from the actual thing they care about (their source of wealth, not the country) they will reconsider. I’m not sure if this is a net plus, as they are a selfish lot.
Agreed on Excel not being a suitable tool for MC; that's one of the many things that pushed me in the direction of building ProjectiFi. Within ProjectiFi, I'm sure there are some things that could be done to speed them up further (e.g. offloading them to a backend where they can run faster), but there could also be some trade-offs with that -- for one, it would violate the "everything stays client-side by default" principle mentioned in another comment.
"some programming knowledge" ≠ "knowledge of bit operators"

Its really a great system we have here --- get insanely wealthy off the backs of Americans who pay tons more for basic services and then when it's time to pay back run off and keep your change. No wonder America is doing so well.
I've just started getting into this using SDR.

Although I cannot design and build such low cost high performance digital receivers, I do have a lot of control over:

- software: I can make my own DSP pipelines for demodulation and filtering

- antenna: building antennas is completely approachable, using bits of wire, terminal blocks and basic tools

- RF input chain: analogue filters and amplifiers to cleanse the signal coming in

I know several people who have transitioned from working in politics to working in private sector.

The reason is usually much less nefarious: Private sector pays a lot more than political jobs. This is especially true for FAANG positions.

Facebook is large enough to afford professional lobbyists and consulting firms if they need political access. They don’t need to give executive level positions to former employees of a governor’s communications team to get access.
You may also be familiar with the 1879 novel "Wired Love: A Romance of Dots and Dashes" - perhaps filling a similar fictional niche in its time that "You've Got Mail" did nearly 120 years later.

I'm quite aware of that amendment, but here's the problem.

Some of the founders were concerned that by listing out some rights in the Bill of Rights, they would be treated as an exhaustive list and used to deny other rights that were not explicitly listed. So Madison proposed the Ninth Amendment as a way of indicating that it's not an exhaustive list. We see this approach in a lot of modern legal contracts, where the phrase "including but not limited to" is used.

But the practical implication of this amendment is that it gives the judicial branch nearly carte blanche power to say what additional, unenumerated rights the Constitution does or doesn't protect. And once the court makes a pronouncement that an unenumerated right exists, the only way to overrule it is to ... you guessed it ... ratify an amendment!

But that creates a very strange setup. SCOTUS "discovers" these unenumerated rights because it's too difficult to get an amendment ratified -- but the sole check on their authority is ratifying an amendment to veto their ruling.

It is good that we have such process for people to push back against their government greed. Usually, the citizenry is at the mercy of it and can’t do anything about it.

You don’t like it? Fine. You have a choice and can get out.

Good safety valve. It keeps the populist governments in check.
You definitely bill. You'd go out of business otherwise. 30%-80% of consulting is dead time waiting for the client to get their shit together. Time you get a good intuition for including in your Scope of Work from the beginning.

It can make it a little awkward when you finally work for a client who knows what they're doing and you do "8 weeks" of work in 5 days, but that's rare.

Not really any different than when you're an FTE and you're dependent on external factors to get your work done.
Interesting. That seems to go against what Israel is reporting (one of the most vaccinated population if I remember right). And they are also using Pfizer & Moderna.

> Recent data released by the Health Ministry shows that those who were first to receive their two doses of the Pfizer COVID vaccine are more likely now to be infected, as the vaccine appears to lose protection potency over time. Data released by the Health Ministry last week suggested that people vaccinated in January have just 16% protection against infection now, while in those vaccinated in April, the effectiveness was at 75%.

Israel is also reporting that Pfizer is only 39% effective against Delta:

Looks like contradictory reporting.

Your last point about "When compared to the annual flu vaccine, where the VE typically falls in the 30s and 40s, this vaccine is remarkably effective, even after 6 months." proves my point. We don't mandate flu shots. And they are seasonal and very few people take them. This is exactly what I am saying - mandated vaccines like polio, chickenpox, measles etc last a lifetime or at least a few decades. That's not the case with these COVID vaccines, nor flu shots.

> This is how Signal and Matrix appeared and became (relatively) famous.

And what happens when another app comes and says that "it's secure" and people start using it instead of Signal or Matrix? What happens if Signal starts requiring some payments (running servers is not free) and people move to other apps? Maybe those other apps are open source and federated, but the federation protocol is found later to have a backdoor, or some instances run data mining on the messages, or something like that. Who will be faster, the users flocking to those apps or the few number of verifiers getting to work and detecting those issues?

If you want most apps to be like Signal or Matrix, the solution is easy: push for legislation and certifications that ensure that, no matter the app, a certain level of security and privacy is enforced. It's not perfect, but it's far better than just relying on trusting that some people invest a lot of time on that research.
Someone should send a copy of this to the Microsoft Teams group. If you want to signup with your personal account to Teams you need a unique phone number. Not a unique email, a unique phone number. Someone else registered to Teams with your same number, you can't sign in. Have kids and they need to attend an online class, you can't sign in. Also, their solution is for you to simply get another phone number, hopefully one that isn't being used by a Teams account.
NYS politics are a mess—not quite the level of habitual corruption stereotypically associated with Chicago, but it wasn't far off from that within my memory.

The only governor we've had in the past 40 years who wasn't visibly corrupt was Eliot Spitzer—who allowed a sex scandal with no political/corruption elements (that I ever heard of) to push him out of office.

Cuomo was actually looking pretty good for a while, relatively speaking. He was still very much a NY politician, but he was getting some stuff done, and with Silver and Bruno no longer keeping a stranglehold over the state legislature, we actually had budgets coming in on time (for many years, it was guaranteed that the state budget would be months late, at best, due to the deliberate gridlock in Albany).

It is, of course, supremely unsurprising that Cuomo has been doing this sort of thing all along. It's exactly the sort of mid-20th-century "politician's perk" that anyone who's paying attention would absolutely expect him to be making sure he gets. Unfortunately, because he's built up a decent amount of political capital due to the aforementioned "getting stuff done", combined with the fact that it is something that far too many still consider "normal", and his almost fanatical stubbornness, it's also supremely unsurprising that he's not resigning. I expect to see a messy, drawn-out impeachment fight, at best.

At this point, we can just hope that we might get a replacement who's actually interesting in improving New York, rather than one who mostly cares about improving his own image and network. But I won't hold my breath.
