I don't think sharing a love of the outdoors with your kid is selfish at all. It's also keeping the parents in shape, which the kid typically benefits from. The fact that a freak occurrence happened makes it easy to judge, but this situation is not at all typical of families that do similar things with their kids (even babies).
no reason for that to be a humanoid. I'd be extremely surprised if construction robots looked humanoid.
Here's my guess at what happened:

How was the account hijacked? Via cookie theft. The author installed malware, maybe some dodgy windows binaries or malicious browser extensions. No amount or type of 2FA on sign-in will protect you against the session cookie being stolen. (Now, additional 2FA on sensitive actions might).

Why was the account was banned with such finality, with no chance of appeal? Probably for something outright illegal, like the hijacker uploading CSAM to the account. It's totally plausible that in an obvious enough case, the policy is e.g. to refer the case to law enforcement and keep the account disabled.

Why did the attacker want to get the account permanently disabled? Maybe an account disable doesn't stop ad campaigns on FB. So the attacker sets up an ad campaign, and then gets the account banned so that the owner can't reverse it.
I hate the way Amazon's search lumps together what its algorithm obviously believes to be "similar" items --even if your search terms specifically exclude those items.

Specific example:

I quite regularly buy tools off Amazon. I don't have a compressor, so I don't buy air tools. Depending on the type of tool I need, I will buy either 240v corded or Cordless Li-Ion versions.

If I search for "240v corded Widget-Maker" I can guarantee Amazon will return equal numbers of "Widget-Maker air tools", "Cordless Widget-Makers", "110v Widget-Makers" etc. Likewise if I search for "Cordless Widget-Maker" I'll get returned all the other types too, including wired ones.

There is no scientific consensus that naturally acquired immunity gives better protection than vaccines.

Two facts that are trending toward consensus in the scientific literature:

A) Naturally infected individuals who recover will acquire robust and durable immunity [1][2]

B) Natural infection induces an immune response that is mostly similar but slightly different than the immune response induced by vaccination. The primary differences can be summarized as: naturally infected individuals have nucleocapsid protein antibodies whereas vaccinated individuals do not, and vaccinated individuals have an immune response highly targeted toward the spike protein RBD. [3][4][5]

In summary many people hypothesize that natural infection is better because it induces a broader and more balance antibody response, but the literature has not established consensus that this is necessarily "better" in terms of health outcomes for individuals.

The author's previous series on Europa Universalis IV greatly emphasized that the game simulates a specific model of states, rather than trying to portray reality perfectly. This model is very similar to fields in Political Science such as realpolitik. Sim City is the same thing for high modernism in urban planning.

I'd guess the reason for the division between optimal Sim City cities and cities in reality doesn't come from the game being a poor model, but that the high modernism model of urban planning has ridiculous conclusions.
According to "science":

- Lockdowns should have stopped covid.

- Masks should have stopped covid.

- Vaccines should have stopped covid.

- "Health" passports and those ridiculous mandates should have stopped covid.

The fact is, we're two years down the road and we're still talking about this virus - so "true" science (that advocated by governments / media I imagine?) is obviously not working.

Time to take a step back and think for ourselves perhaps?
Yes, let us see how you do data interchange without global identifiers. Such as URIs, which RDF has built-in natively and property graphs do not.

You're right about bioinformatics, but lets do a quick check on http://sparql.club/ on who else is looking for RDF/SPARQL specialists. Oh look: automotive industry, finance, publishing, medical, research etc.
He used tp-link gadgets to go 80m through some tree to his shed. Glad he's happy but not really that far? 800m would have been more interesting.

My other comment. Summary: SpaceX seems to be no worse an actor than other operators. Doubling the number of satellites in orbit would, by the odds, result in an expected doubling of the number of incidents (if not more, actually). Owning half the satellites in orbit means they, again, by the odds should be involved in around half the incidents. These statements are in the article, but obscured because the article presents the facts but doesn't clarify that statistically this is actually close to what should be expected.

Further, they do provide enough facts to see that OneWeb is actually slightly worse than Starlink. However it's again obscured because they present a raw total without conveying how it relates to their share of satellites in orbit.

And that's on the facts. The other aspect is the tone. The way we phrase things influences interpretation, journalists (especially) are aware of this. The article's style:

> Starlink satellites come within 1km of other satellites 500 times per week.

This lays, implicitly, the blame or responsibility on Starlink. However, it could be easily turned around (both satellites in a close encounter are in motion, it's not like Starlink satellites are approaching static objects here):

> Other satellites come within 1km of Starlink satellites 500 times per week.

Here, Starlink is presented as the innocent party. The two phrases express the same idea if you read past the implication the ordering presents, but by choosing one or the other you encourage the reader to come to a conclusion that isn't justified by the rest of the article (in either manner of phrasing).
The loudest voice gets to define what things mean. In other cases, the voice that is able to silence and/or censor other voices gets to make those calls.
I can't even write a simple comment about health tech without going on for multiple paragraphs. Truly, it is a wicked problem.

Have said this before, but healthcare is the Afghanistan of tech where giant empires go in thinking they can solve it and leave beaten years later wondering what happened. We're still about 5 years before a viable tech gets traction that could be useful in that space, and interestingly imo, one of the YC 2021 batch is the most well positioned to do it because they are doing authorization as a service (warrant.dev), which could meet the basic delegation need which is the pattern the whole health world is predicated on. We do collaboration pretty well with tech and we're just starting to make headway on identity and access control, but we haven't figured out workflow delegation and designation in any meaningful and open federated way, which is the necessary condition of the basic physician/nurse, physician/specialist, physician/hygenist, physician/orderly etc. workflow pattern.

What people don't get about healthcare is that it is not a vertical or a sector, it is a parallel planned economy of autonomous entities, not unlike higher education but more distributed. I have done a lot of consulting work in a very large single payer system over the years, and the reocurring pattern is that even government thinks it's an enterprise, or a collection of enterprises. It's really an archipeligo of federated diverse organizations that orbit doctors and other health care providers. When you think, "oh, I've got a document management system or search for health!" you don't unless it is document management or search for a hyper-federation (like a hypergraph). You don't build products for this, you build tools, and the "healthiness" of a given tech is about how it supports this complex and dynamic relationship pattern.

If I were google developing technologies for health, I'd be solving the basic hyperfederation problems. I hate to say it, but from a technology perspesctive, it's very likely a blockchain problem, where the health ontology (HL7,FHIR, etc) gets distributed via the consensus, and individual records would be graphs over its elements. Unfortunately, HL7 suffers from the same architecture complexity problem, where complex standards and rules yield stupid behavior in the field. This is to say the problem is health information techs all fail for the same reason, which is the basic problem of imposing central or top down design models on a stubbornly bottom up economy full of non-technologists.
Don't confuse intellectual contrarianism with true skepticism. a lot of people claiming to be engaged in the later are really just adherents to the former.

A true skeptic applies that skepticism as equally to their own beliefs and to frings beliefs as they do to popular or widely accepted beliefs.

I, too, am skeptical that the sky is blue, space is black, and that the planets orbit the sun. I mean, I haven't directly observed space or the planets, so the scientific approach is to be skeptical. I also hold out some tiny hope that electrons aren't real and microprocessors are powered by multi-dimensional hamsters.

It is denialism--really, it's willful, militant ignorance--at this point to go against the consensus on climate change. It's just being obtuse.

All I can say is, buckle the F up, because the effects of climate change are compounding year by year and decade by decade. I am so confident in this, after reading tons on the subject, having been all over the world and seen it, that I'll just leave it there.
U2F/WebAuthn doesn't use six digit codes. You plug in USB key, press button on top of key, and browser does exchange with key and passes result to site.

>Whatever happened to creating and hosting your own 'stuff'?

The same thing that happened to scrivenery, where the printing press was invented, then industrial printing, then electronic publishing, and eventually if you wanted to write a book you no longer needed to make the paper and ink and manually inscribe the text in painstaking detail, then bind every copy individually.

People want to host their content on the web, they don't want or need to have to build all of the infrastructure by hand first. Only programmers care about the plumbing.

I think they are at a point where they would rather side with a scammer since they generate more money from this situation.

I guess they have data that shows this particular kind of user will almost never buy ads ever again, so at least let a scammer do it.

You're right, this is weird, but if you look at the profit model, it makes sense, and there are no laws that would really protect the user.
It happened to me. Cellular carriers, in my case T-Mobile, didn't require any confirmation to port a number to a new phone/sim.

Eventually some required the last 4 of your social security number to port a number, which we all know at this point are pretty much public anyway.

T-Mobile now lets you set an arbitrary pin, which my parents promptly set to their DOB :facepalm:

I haven't looked more into it, but as far as I know, sim swap/port attacks were hilariously simple to execute which is why I only use SMS verification when it's the only option.

Nor does it currently work in Firefox. Hence the continuation of the joke.

It was originally announced as an open standard, though. Anyone who remembers Steve Jobs would have caught on. It is easy for us old-timers to forget how long ago that was now, so I extend my apologies to the youngsters.
Delivering it closer does provide more power. Some of the power is lost to heat as the electricity travels through the traces on the motherboard.
Personally I think the real problem with COVID is that it is a disease which kills many people and harms many more, not that some people supposedly vilify unvaccinated people.
From NASA graphics (1 Jan. 2019 data) - https://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/photo-gallery/# - it looks like a great deal of the debris is in low or low-perigee orbits. (The latter still have plenty of opportunity to hit low-circular-orbit objects.)

I might accept Starlink satellites being 10X or even 100X performers, based on arguments about orbits, cross-sectional area, etc. But ~100,000X? No.
Worldunity on Twitter: “How to Receive
The QR code points to the URL of a QR code generator site (qrco.de - cool domain btw) that then redirects to the actual vaccine passport I guess. Seems that either the URL was too long or the owner used their "scan tracking" feature.

In either case, when eventually qrco.de gets discontinued, you end up in the best case with a 404 URL on your arm, or in the worst case someone buys it and does a catch-all redirect to random youtube (or porn) videos.

Just wow.

I'll keep an eye for when the domain expires I guess.

EDIT: OH MY GOD.

I scanned the QR code but didn't actually visit the URL before posting the above comment as I was amazed that someone would have used a random site's URL in their tattoo.

It gets worse though. (I'm really strugling not writting the remaing post in all caps).

The QR code points to https://qrco.de/bcJgE2 -- which opens AN IMAGE OF A QRCODE.

I don't know what to say about this any more. It's not a redirect to the original QR code. It's THE ORIGINAL QR CODE.

I don't even.

Thanks for letting me know, I'll check in with friends in docs and try to get this sorted out. Sorry for the frustration.
What evidence do we have that covid "doesn't mutate as quickly"?

There have been at least 3 distinct variants, separate from the original strain, since the virus was detected in late 2019 / early 2020.
Thanks for your feedback.

> I think the getting started config would be much better if it showed the 5-10 things that most people would expect to see (protocol, port, www-dir, etc.) and then described the shorthand version where all of that’s implied.

That may be true, but we also get a lot of compliments for our current docs, that Getting Started is just what they needed to get going. We also know from experience that a lot of people don't read, and I'm afraid that by showing overly-complex configs, people will copy-and-paste them and just use them blindly without understanding them or trimming them down. Then we have a bunch of bloated configs out there, and oftentimes, we've found that removing things from Caddy configs solves problems.

> Have you ever seen a config file where everything is commented out, but shows every option and the default value? I love those configs.

Funny, I hate those. I want to have a minimal file that I feel like I crafted just for my purposes, rather than taking some boilerplate and trying to coerce it into working for me. I also understand my tools better this way.

One of the core opinions of Caddy is to build things up to suit your needs, rather than tearing things down to make them work.
The easiest example I've heard is kinda gross and rude, but effective.

"You take a crap with the door closed, not because I don't know what you're doing in there, but because you don't want to share the experience with me."

That pretty much sums up everything you need to know about privacy. You don't have to hide anything in order for it to be important.
Codes from those apps are typically TOTP: a deterministic output given a shared secret (e.g. from QR-code during the setup procedure) and current time interval, e.g. HMAC(shared-secret, time-interval) mod 10^6. This does not embed the domain. However, U2F is a completely different protocol that does: you'd typically insert a YubiKey in a USB port and tap a button on it when the browser sends "plz sign a request from login.bank.com" (+ other associated data) https://developers.yubico.com/U2F/Protocol_details/Overview....

(Note that most YubiKeys also support non-U2F modes, most commonly HOTP (HMAC(shared-secret, counter); counter +=1))
The self determinism of the web remains vaunted leaps & bounds beyond any other form of software.

There is a meta-layer of flexibility that is cross-cutting & empowering.
I'd contend that BigTech commissars currently get to define it, as they also define volume of a voice. They are more powerful than governments, and due to their downstream effects, they can bully even BigMedia.

It’s probably worth faking having lost your 2FA and asking for it to be reset. If you find out they are this careless with 2FA-protected accounts, you should probably not rely on it too much.

I manage an authentication and identity provider and if someone gets locked out of 2FA and can’t prove their identity via a previously-uploaded gpg key, they get locked out for good. I never honor requests to reset the device sent by email, no matter how much they beg or offer to prove identity by sending copies of official IDs - I don’t care who they are now, I care about them being the same person that set up the account and 2FA, which can only be proven via a valid 2FA device or a GPG signature.

You mean TOTP?

Imagine a hash function that generates a number from the number of minutes since epoch hashed additionally with some seed. You have it on the server, you have it on your, say, phone. When you enroll you share a seed for the generator. Since your time is synchronized, the server knows what value(s) to expect, and the phone knows which value to generate.

I feel that talking about SQL in a way misses this issue - when data analysis is done by human beings, human virtues can restrain the worst excesses of self-interest. In contrast, a model trained blindly to maximize some kind of metric can commit essentially any sin in pursuit of that goal.
Easy deployment and scaling of resources a decade ago, familiarity and not too expensive to switch as time has progressed (of course I host things elsewhere, just have a lot of client/personal data on Heroku).
> This is just an empty ad hominem.

No, it's not. I'm suggesting that there is an obvious conflict of interest here, because there is.

> Is the data accurate or is it inaccurate?

I would not characterize the quantitative content of this article, such as the number of satellites Starlink currently operates, as inaccurate.

> Is the interpretation of the data valid or is it invalid?

It is my opinion that the article does not offer a cogent interpretation of any data beyond what's obvious on the face of the numbers they quote.

> Either SpaceX is or it is not involved in a lot of close calls in orbit. These are not facts up for interpretation, they either are or they aren't.

The number of "close calls" (assuming here you're taking the article's definition of such an event as being "when two craft pass within one kilometre of each other") is just a number, and I am not "interpreting" or otherwise questioning it. I'm simply questioning why it matters.

> Whether a given rate is alarming or not is a value judgement, certainly, but if there has been a significant increase in rate, and SpaceX has been responsible for that increase, then the facts speak for themselves.

And what is it that they're saying? And how does it contradict anything I said in my comment?

> So, what is your take on the facts as they've been reported?

See above.
