I agree with you but there were so many cases already in the past, that its for a long time just a fact of life that won't change, nothing revealing.

Unexpected!
So, the evidence you found is that "most of the forest in Oregon is owned by the Federal government" and "19 years ago someone had a hearing about ecoterrorism".

I'm particularly enjoying the fact that the mild-mannered folks at OSU (maybe they are part of the Ecoterrorism Conspiracy?) suggest bizarre ideas like "maybe having lots of people mucking about on public land increases the risks of discarded cigarettes and campfire accidents" and "perhaps having hot and dry conditions from climate change might lead to more fires" as opposed to your much more elegant explanation that all forest management in Oregon labors under some sort of Ecoterrorist Reign of Ecoterror.
> I've crushed on co-workers; I've had crushes on professors; I've had crushes on classmates. Attraction in a work/study environment is real. The thing is ... you don't have to do or say anything, guys. Just keep that stuff locked down like a non-creep and it will eventually pass.

Expressing romantic interest in a co-worker or classmate is not de-facto inappropriate. Your advice is solid for folks in positions of power, but for the rest of us, not so much. The idea that young men and women who work together should be forbidden from exploring relationships with with classmates or coworkers is a kind of bizarre neo-puritanism. (Your human nature? That's bad! Ignore it!) And for what? To prevent the occasional, momentary discomfort of rebuffing a respectful advance?

Of course nobody should have to endure sexual harassment, socially inept creepiness, or blind persistence from unwanted suiters. And people who engage in these behaviors should be paid a visit from HR (and eventually receive a pink slip). But the vast majority of adults are capable of tactful communication, and should not be prevented from exploring the full possibilities of their interpersonal relationships simply because the relationship began at work.

I would trust a service by junior devs more if it was hosted by a third-party database because so many companies have insecurely set up their environments over the years. Especially if the data is encrypted in a way the service can't read it, what would be the harm?

What is codespaces?
> Or take screenshots

Came here to say this but someone beat me to it. I imagine forging a screenshot to 'put words in someone's mouth' is hard to do though. You'd have to find a way of injecting words into the Signal app by messing with the code. You'd also have to use the correct font, make sure the metadata of the file is consistent, etc

Since there's no permalinks for a Signal message, you could forge anything you wanted, and you just have to get some dummy to believe the screenshot is an actual screenshot of a conversation. Treat screenshots of messenger apps with plenty of skepticism.
privacy washing
For recent movies you can often rent from RedBox. To buy DVDs, I usually go to Amazon. Sometimes something will catch my eye in the remainder pile at Walmart. Except for some straight to streaming content maybe, my experience is that most films that aren't really obscure are still available for physical purchase.

Larger companies have also been known to buy out critical service vendors and in-house them when there was a risk that they might otherwise shutdown or pivot, too; that's less often an option fot smaller firms.

(Opinions are my own.)

It used to be entirely custom, but is currently being re-based on VSCode. Overall very similar feel to Codespaces, just tailed for how Google works.
Yes, IDEs are similar in a way that they abstract lot of stuff, so people end up depending on them. I don't mind IDEs, but I encourage learning what they actually do behind scenes, so you won't be completely useless when you don't have them.

I think that's one of the biggest issues I have with codespaces.
I have no problem with this project either and find it interesting, but I agree with you completely that it looks like someone took a hobby-level experiment with a corporate budget to the prototype stage then realized it had near zero practical application so, "Open source!"

How do we know that carbon dating is accurate for this long of time periods?
I don't think so. Software running on your computer has wholesale access to your filesystem.

If those files are accessible only via the web (or if you bother setting up ssh + pubkey, via ssh) that significantly reduces the surface area of possible attacks.

Don't hate on "not being impossible" for "being less likely."
Now you have introduced an additional variable (location) to the equation.
Yes, you probably should. It's similar to saying that "just because I agree with what nazis say does not mean I am one!"

Sure, technically true, but still something to consider a bit.
> I think it's fair that if you've purchased specialized mining equipment, you expect the ROI you were promised. Doesn't seem strange.

ROI was never promised. Ethereum has always had a "Minimum Necessary Issuance" policy. Keeping issuance constant would be deviation from the policy, reducing it when possible is in line with the policy. From the docs:

> Ethereum's Monetary Policy is defined by the rewards that are paid out by the protocol at any given time. Ethereum's current yearly network issuance is approximately 4.5% with 2 Ether per block and an additional 1.75 Ether per uncle block (plus fees) being rewarded to miners.

> Ethereum does not have a fixed supply because a fixed supply would also require a fixed security budget for the Ethereum network. Rather than arbitrarily fix Ethereum's security, Ethereum's monetary policy is best described as "minimum issuance to secure the network".

> Ethereum has had a history of reducing issuance to these estimated minimums and the network has never increased issuance. The move to proof-of-stake is also part of Ethereum's effort to reduce issuance to minimum amounts without sacrificing security.
I just came back from - actually, physically - visiting the British Library last week to do some research in the newsroom with microfilm and all.

Title of this piqued my interest, but looking at the details, but the selection of papers they're adding seems kinda meh. Mostly the sort of local papers that British Newspaper Archive always had, and still can't compete with the horrendously proprietary Gale and ProQuest archives, which have national papers (Guardian, Observer, etc) and require physically turning up to the library to use.

I used to have a pay-as-you-go subscription to BNA, to spite the monthly pay option that I figure I wouldn't make the most of, but it quite scandalously "expired".

Uh... yes? I'm sorry, but if you go to tiktok for deep content you're in the wrong place. If you want deep content, you read a book. Or use a carefully curated blog list. Or read scientific papers.

I go to tik tok purely for enjoyment, and for that it works.

Yeah, some of the content looks like it's "teaching" you. But it's doing it in the same way Discovery Channel is (was) teaching you. We find learning certain stuff to be entertaining. If I really wanted to learn about history or biology of physics I'd find other, much better ways. But I still like it when I see a video on how black holes bend light and make it orbit a couple of times before letting it go. It's cool. But it's still entertainment, and that's 100% ok.

LE: And I make sure to like 90% of videos with pretty girls, just because I like tik tok to be entertaining and I never want to curate it to blandness. (It's very gender equalitarian btw, I've seen feeds of my women friends and they're full of sexy men).
No, they had literal silicon, DARPA instead and then a swarm of investors.
That Danish study only had about 120 people infected overall (and over 1000 drop out of the study midway). So it's not really N=6000, it's N=120, which is tiny.

The evidence from RCTs is way too preliminary to draw any conclusions. The best evidence so far is from studies that directly measure whether a mask can block aerosols, and those results are very compelling.

We do need more and larger RCTs though.

Today you can get HDMI copy protection strippers in the form of certain exact model numbers of HDMI signal splitters. You have to get the exact correct model and it will pretend to be a DRM-enabled HDMI endpoint and strip it on the split end. You do not have to plug two HDMI monitors in. Just one is fine.

They will enable things like Amazon or Roku HDMI dongles to work with computer monitors that do not support HDMI encryption. The most common use is just that, not to pirate anything.

Context and intent is important. The CDC describes that method as "Least Effective".

https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/unintendedpregnancy/p...

If we had no other method, then it might be reasonable to call it effective, in comparison to doing nothing. Given that better options exist, it is not very reasonable to call it effective without qualification.

If someone chooses to intentionally reduce a conversation to an "effective/ineffective" dichotomy to deliberately mislead or obscure conversations, then it might be disinformation. Disinformation can consist entirely of factual statements.
"To me, in terms of the expectations of modern programming, the weird thing about proof languages is that they’re languages in the first place."

I've got a similar, but unrelated problem.

Most proof and formal methods languages development has involved dependently typed languages (modulo Frama-C and Spark). Which are dandy. However, the formula definitions are all in low-level, function-application-ish form, while the proof techniques are in high-level tactics. The result is that plain ol' simple formal logic is not directly applicable to using the formal techniques, and the proofs are completely unreadable.

Why aren't the formal techniques syntax-sugared into something understandable?

> If they start off with things like that, there' so much magic under the hood, they won't understand how anything works.

I feel like there's an ever growing tension in software development where magic like this makes us more productive but also more vulnerable.

Maybe we need to develop better benchmarks for "knowing enough" so when the magic fails, we're not starting at zero trying to figure out what went wrong.
It will never cease to amaze me that someone with the technical chops to pull off an attack worth this much hasn't done the minimum pre-work necessary to get away with the cash or at least some non-trivial amount of it.

FB and Google have enormous buildings in central Dublin.
AWS runs a very large facilities and developer group. Apple has a headcount of about 4000 people in Cork in a facility that's been there for nearly 40 years.

They're here because of tax, yes, and Ireland is in no meaningful way a leading startup centre. But Dublin in particular has more people working in software than (say) London.

I see your point.

But at Uber's scale I can see the business need for a custom chat app. Most third party chat apps are bloated, both the cheap and expensive ones. Plus there's the need for custom integrations.
I've been digging through this in an effort to understand exactly how it preserves user privacy. I'm at a bit of a loss, probably because I lack domain expertise. From digging through their docs[1]:

> This adds a new privacy concern, however. Revealing that a person is in a treatment or control group is just a random value, but revealing the fact that they had an opportunity could reveal much more information, such as demographics used for targeting of the advertising campaign. (Note: revealing a person’s treatment/control group assignment isn’t entirely private, as it could reveal membership in a group, which we often want to avoid in general. Opportunity logging, though, can reveal much more information.)

I understand that if I were to see that Johnny Individual was served ad campaign X, and X was targeted towards 35 year old male identifying individuals in Colorado, I would know that Johnny Individual fit the bill according to the ad network.

What I can't understand is: Who are we trying to keep this info from? The ad network needs to know this to properly run the campaign. In the example they provide, I believe the ad network is running the lift test and reporting aggregate results.

Could someone please point out what I'm missing?

Thing is, the soldier has a doctrine and there are rules governing just about everything. Especially if we’re talking NATO. The mercenary is by far worse because there aren’t any rules or authority to appeal to, it’s just some guy with weapons getting paid under the table and not giving a fuck. The mercenary also definitely feels less safe, less confident, so most likely more jumpy, more trigger-happy. And worst of all probably ex-military so fully skilled.

The point of the difficulty bomb isn't to put a deadline on the developers, it's to prevent a situation where node operators get complacent and stop updating their nodes.

It forces node operators to come to consensus on whether to fork alongside the developers or to fork in a different direction. It removes the option of doing nothing and letting the Ethereum chain stagnate.
OK, that's it, I'm going to give Outercorner's Secrets a try - I've been meaning to do that anyway, since I trust iCloud syncing much more than a third party, and don't want to get locked in to using a sub-standard non-native application on my desktop just because your market strategy relies on holding my data hostage while removing key platform features between versions.

(full disclosure: I also know the developer personally and have watched as he evolved the product, and since it has comprehensive import/export features I know I can get my data in and out of it safely - and without being beholden to a subscription that adds effectively zero value)

It's a shame, really, I've been using 1Password forever and have kept at version 6 precisely because I want to limit my data exposure and have a bloat-free experience.

You're totally right. Javascript and its ilk are clearly superior to the languages and tooling of the past. There's no doubt about that.

There's already things that look like a metaverse in games like Pokemon Go. Remember those videos from 2016 of hundreds of people in central park all running towards a rare pokemon spawn? That's a shared virtual world overlaid on top of the real world, through a cell phone game.

But nobody really thinks Pokemon Go is that revolutionary, and certainly not deserving of the title "Metaverse".

It's the same problem as with Artificial Intelligence. There was a whole bunch of AI hype that began around the proliferation of deep neural nets, but nothing that people recognize as an artificial intelligence in the sense that you see in movies or read in books (i.e. an AGI). So much for that intelligence explosion.

Any metaverse is going to be limited by the tools that tie it to the real world. For the most part this is GPS to determine coordinates, and cell phone to run relatively lightweight computations and render to a display. If you're really fancy (like Google), you can have people point their cameras at buildings to determine where on the street the person is standing exactly (Google Live View). None of these things feel futuristic, so they'll never fit the layman's idea of a Metaverse (which is, roughly, a virtual world overlaid 1:1 on top of the real world. Not 1:1 on top of a GPS coordinate system).
Do you consider AWS Lambda and such to be BaaS? I'm pretty new to the field and have been focusing on AWS 'serverless' as the backend for most projects. Would you say this is bad practice overall?

That's sad to know. But we need to face the fact that Signal is not a community driven project. It has always been a moxie driven project. So it's not surprising that he would do (or not do) things that the rest of us don't understand or agree with.

Rudy Giuliani and Tucker Carlson claimed to have first-hand access to the information; Tucker Carlson also said that he doesn't wish to reveal any further information because he didn't want to kick a man who was already down.

I remember when people were saying The Intercept was censoring Glenn Greenwald at the publication he co-founded for not jumping on the Hunter Biden story. In retrospect they made the right call to avoid joining their outlet's credibility with the fact that Fox News personalities could, at any time, just decide not to release information on the alleged basis of not kicking a man when he's down.
Well, you still didn't refute his position that this is not based on empirical data, just a few of your limited data points and personal bias (which is neither good or bad; just something we all have).

>> , I'd rather have someone with 30 years of work experience at four or more companies than someone with 30 years of experience at one company.

Experience means depth and/or breadth, so what you're really saying is "I want someone with 30 years experience, not 30x 1 year of experience. Multiple companies increases the odds that they'll at least have breadth".

This is a valid strategy but still a bias. There was a time when many people worked at the same company for their entire career as the desired path, not some form of settling or indicator of limited skills. It's only a generation or two that has not experienced this.
It's very good. The rendering and inputs are done locally. Completion, compilation, linting, and other things are done remotely but they are not instant anyway so the network latency is not really noticeable.

The switch case is still a bit redundant and inelegant, particularly considering how out of place switch case syntax feels in a Javascript codebase in general. Early returns are the way to go.
It looks like I’m confusing a classic psychrometer with more modern ones. The modern ones still use absorption of water to change some physical property like capacitance or resistance but this is also why they need to be continually calibrated against a true dry/wet bulb hygrometer.
