My guess is that it’s not necessarily about knowing that it’s you speaking. To satisfy that query, it has to let you make iCloud queries of your wife’s position with keys that aren’t secure (eg can be retrieved by hooking up to a computer with malware).

The other attack surface is that someone invokes Siri physically with the button on the phone. I think this does speak to the fact that Apple should probably add a security level which is “voice unlocked” which gives a transient key for Siri queries, which they can even tie together through the internal activity API so that only the daemons that are accessing such data in support of an actual validated query get to unlock the relevant data.
Interestingly, the Enhanced Fujita scale (EF) used for tornadoes takes into account damage as well as wind speed. Maybe something like that would be more appropriate for hurricanes. An 'enhanced' saffir-simpson scale?

It depends if you're including the tenure of all the people who have departed or not - AFAIK most places don't, which skews the numbers tremendously.

Oh, please. Anschluss isn't even remotely comparable to the possible China - Taiwan situation. If you meant that about the reaction of other countries i think you can't really draw any meaningful parallels there either.
Microsoft's stuff all wants you to install the Microsoft Authenticator which needs a Microsoft account for some reason and that (for me anyway) then immediately wanted me to setup 2FA, for which it required me to install the Microsoft Authenticator, which ... you can see how that goes.

As I began to experience Déjà vu on the first day of a new job I snapped out of it, removed the Microsoft Authenticator and told it nah, I'm OK actually, show me that QR code for "other authenticators" and never looked back.
I think the next widespread labour action will be focused on benefits - it'll pull in both of the factors you mentioned (increased earnings and wealth redistribution) since I don't think any labour gains will ever happen without those factors (and the first factor necessitates the second factor). But I think the focus will be lowering employee stress by advocating for stronger requirements around healthcare and reducing the workweek.
Wait, you're seriously suggesting that _Taiwan_ (pop 23.6M) could protect itself against _China_? I don't know what to tell you.

I grew up in the Boston area in the 60s, before the Charles River was dammed to prevent Boston Harbor tides from flushing into the Charles Basin. Driving along Storrow Drive at low tide in summer was a malodorous experience.

Then in the 80s, long after the dam was put in, they had enormous air bubblers in the Charles Basin to stir up the stagnant bottom water. Fun to sail through.

A few notes about Genshin Impact:

- Genesis Crystals are the base currency that RMT get you in Genshin Impact, not Primogems. You have to choose to convert them in order to do wishes (Gacha rolls)

- In 2.0, MiHoYo implemented cross-save functionality with PlayStation, PC and iOS. This allows PS players to now play on other devices, but importantly Genesis Crystals do not carry over between platforms

- The end result is that your RMT purchase is locked into the platform you use until you convert it into Primogems

- As a result, Genesis Crystal purchases have an additional hurdle that MiHoYo has to deal with to incentivize users (GC->Primogems conversion) but it is by no means insurmountable
I've seen such a key on a Sony Vaio. The label was nothing but explicit, I actually had to look for help. But the button would turn the computer on, and get to the setup menu. Nice touch. Obviously, it was the only nice thing about this terrible machine but that's a different story.
> 2) the US would begin moving forces toward and to Taiwan within hours, if that happened—it's pointless, because they'd have already tipped their hand. It would confer no advantage for preparing a surprise invasion.

Those troops would either have to arrive on planes or in boats, and in either case they'd be heading toward an absolute hornets nest of missiles.

The most likely thing if things pop off in the western Pacific is the US fleets immediately turn tail and sail east as fast as they can to avoid ending up on the bottom of the ocean. The fleets haven't faced a modern opponent with a full armament of advanced anti-ship missiles.

The only realistic scenario where the US 'wins' in a major confrontation with China is to use nuclear weapons first, and we would still take many hits to our own cities in the process. There's no scenario where millions of Americans don't die in that war.
Most of Israel is within a relatively short distance, both horizontally and vertically, of the Mediterranean Sea.

No comparable situation exists for most of the US southwest.

It seems like a very smart idea for coastal regions of CA and perhaps even parts of OR too.
Hahahaha no, the pumps are barely at capacity for a storm right now because half of them are like 100 years old and take a really weird voltage that can only be supplied by the Sewerage & Water Board's generators. One of which has been waiting on repairs since like last summer. I can't recall the exact reasons it's taking so long, I know it's a combination of "barely anyone even knows how to make the replacement part", "city's broke", and waves vaguely at all the supply chain mess caused by covid.

(One of our major industries is tourism, though a lot of that money gets siphoned off to the pockets of the tourist board. Mardi Gras 2020 was the last gasp of that before covid. We normally have a shit-ton of festivals all year round that draw people in to spend money. They've all been cancelled.)

And the roads are always sinking, the city's built on swamp. There will never be a time where the roads (or something under them) do not need maintenance. I'm sure the money crunch ain't helping that get done in a sane timeframe either. Also "hurricane season" is like half the year normally, and the past several years have had it well underway in the preceding month.

As someone who actually uses the storage that I purchase, I strongly disagree with the suggestion that this is a largely-irrelevant change. Few if any users only write to empty disks.

If my experience with other QLC drives is instructive — and I hope it's not — I suspect the "runway" you referenced is minimal if you start writing with the disk at, say, 25% capacity.
Who removed all the prepositions from the title?
The title on the original article is more readable.

I suggest restoring the prepositions and adding a question mark. i.e. "What Made the Battle of Blair Mountain the Largest Labor Uprising in American History?".
If you bring water in from the rest of the US and supply the regions which depend on the water flowing down from the mountains you allow the high altitude regions to retain more of their water.

Sure, that means you generate less hydropower in the downriver dams, but overall I think it's a wash(pun intended).

That's been my overall opinion of WD in recent years.

I have been a supporter of WD since the 90s when I bought my first 2.5GB Caviar drive. My NAS and Server are filled with WD Reds and my gaming PC is using an WD Black NVME. I recently pulled WD Green and Blues from some systems and for the first time in 25 years used something other than WD to replace them.

WD's branding use to make it really simple to understand what you were buying. You knew what Green, Blue, Red, Purple, and Black drives were capable of and you bought accordingly.

Now it seems they're leveraging that trust and comfort to fuck people over and for what? How does disappointing your customer help your brand?

I can no longer trust them and I'm not going to invest the effort to ensure that I'm buying the right Red or Blue drive from them. It's sad but I'm just going to take my money elsewhere.

They have a lot of issues if they "want everybody else on Discord" They cancelled an account of mine because it shared a phone number with a secondary account of mine. (1 for work; 1 for personal use.) Support said "Account ban is valid - FRAUD/SPAM" with no ability to have a conversation with them or escalate. My cellphone number is now blacklisted for SMS validation. Incredibly weird. No support for their products, not really.
The number of times I've been almost hit by a Tesla because I was walking in a parking lot and didn't hear them (because they didn't have any warning sounds) is too damn high. If they're going slow, they should play a sound or something. I check behind me, no cars, I cross the parking lot road, only to be almost hit by a Tesla because they just pulled out, and I didn't hear them. A simple sound, whooshing, beeping, whatever, would have solved that problem. Why Tesla didn't implement such a thing is anyone's guess.

I think what you might be missing is that, in (safe + idiomatic) Rust, we actually can't have references between things (unless we want to make our entire GUI immutable, which would be a tad silly).

Since we can't use references, we need to "refer" to other objects via IDs.
There is plenty of agricultural land in the midwest to grow vegetables, it's just that for the most part they are growing commodity crops (corn and soy) and not vegetables because California is cheaper and can provide fresh produce year-round (or nearly so). Regional farms could provide local produce that's more scalable than suburban gardens, but both are seasonal (without greenhouses and other infrastructure at least).
> We take the burden away by working with vendors directly to automate common migration flows.

To clarify, this refers only to vendors of the new app choice, right? That is, only getting data in, not out. Assuming old app vendors won't help migrate users away from their app.
Seagate has used an odd encoded value for this for years. You're attempting to read a raw value, which is meant for Seagate's internal tools. This is all documented.

smartctl knows how to parse it, it just never does by default (a long-standing bug that isn't high priority enough to fix).

Do `smartctl -a -v 1,raw48:54 /dev/xxx`, or `-v 7,raw48:54` for raw seek.

However, these values have never been useful to diagnose a drive as failing before data corruption appears (and it gets kicked of a raid), in my experience.
That's interesting. In my country that's usually handled by clinic administration and secretaries. I assume the presence of private medical information such as presence of hypertension, controlled and uncontrolled, etc. makes it necessary for doctors to do it.

In my experience, when patients have uncontrolled chronic disease a follow up appointment is automatically set up. Doctors prescribe medication and ask the patient to return after some time so they can be reevaluated. When they miss appointments, clinic administration knows and can follow up.
Pretty funny to read the arguments about how enums are the one true way and here we see function pointers are already supported.

NSOs – After Leaving Employment
Clever people of HN, please provide your feedback.

I recently left a startup where I was issued NSOs over 2.5 years of working with them. This made up part of my salary.

After leaving I have 3 months to purchase the options.

Prior to leaving I tried to purchase the options and was told the window was closed, I have followed up again and have received no feedback just yet, I assume the window is still closed. Before leaving i received clarification that the window being closed would not lengthen the period I had to purchase.

What can I do if the window is closed through the duration of the 3 months after leaving? Do I have any leg to stand on?
I remember when bitcoin miners were transitioning from FPGA to ASIC... I nearly threw out my back from laughter when the Chinese deceitfully copied the masks with abandon, while also delaying fulfillment with longer and longer burn in tests.
And you're saying you're currently not a Zombie? Oh vanish the thought!

Actually, yea, I think the river is quite clean. Especially now that I've seen bodies of water that have an oily sheen on them - and ones that sting if you get them on your skin. I think I'd probably be pretty adverse to swimming in the Charles - but I'd definitely prefer it any day over False Creek in Vancouver.

My biggest concern with questionable water these days is always the bed they rest on - usually the water tends to be pretty clear even in heavily polluted areas (though oil floats so some forms of pollution are quite contrary to that) - but all the really dangerous stuff tends to slowly separate out and settle on the bottom. It's when kids get in and kick up the muck at the bottom of one of these rivers that I get most concerned.

Also yea - this is pretty much all anecdotal as well.
You can't throw out accusations like that without evidence, what deep CCP contacts Allen Wu has? Elon Musk has a factory in Shanghai, is he "loyal to China with deep CCP contacts" too?
> If you’re successful, do you think vendors won’t do everything to make your access more difficult or cut you off completely?

Vendors should want their schema available for import by new customers. That seems like it should be a good guide for exporting data. As for making export harder, companies will just demand their data and then the vendors will have to do the export; vendors won't be able to keep the data (in almost all cases of companies that have a contract.)
So I ran that calculator on myself, and apparently I have a 1/88k (0.002%) chance of developing long covid and a smaller chance of dying.

The argument you are facing is "what about the side effects?" - so I looked up an article on side effects that I thought was very fair (note, I'm not an expert, I'm not even a novice):

https://www.uab.edu/news/health/item/12143-three-things-to-k...

In it, it talks about historic vaccine fails (mostly due to contamination) and concludes that the vaccine should be safe, even considering long term effects.

But then you read something like this:

https://www.visiontimes.com/2021/04/27/first-nations-vaccine...

And it talks about a doctor's experience trying to understand side effects he is witnessing with his patients and he can't get _anyone_ to engage and gets lumped in as promoting vaccine hesitancy. His data is rejected.

I'm not sure what sources of data your brother accesses (if any), but I have family sending me videos like the following that bring up very good points against the vaccine, and this is from a Ph.D. in cellular and molecular biology:

https://theplantstrongclub.org/2021/08/26/dr-christina-parks...

With stories of data being refused that goes against the grain and the most convincing message from the government that I see is "trust us," I can see why someone with a very small chance of being harmed by COVID would want to wait for more data to surface.

Note, I would like to be corrected for anything that is incorrectly presented in the above links. I'm not anti-vax. I would like to understand if the second two links are non-credible.
I don't think those alternatives are as opposite as they first appear. One way to restore the pre-2000's relationship between income and housing expense would be to cancel the debts that were created by the stimulus created by the Fed and Congress since that time... which amounts to wealth redistribution.
So, no sound warnings to pedestrians is what I'm reading. Blind be damned.
Thanks for the number check - too late to edit now. (Ben arrived at a number of a milion people so I think it was all a little fuzzy)

Addict is a difficult term. As patio11 points out elsewhere most definitions of addiction include desire but inability to give up, plus some degree of harm. Helping addicts is a individual task, but I think social policy has a role to play in harm reduction.

I like Richard Thaler's idea of Libertarian Paternalism. Yes we support each persons individual right to fuck up their lives. But we should set the defaults in life to be ... in the best interests of the patient as it were.

So, each month we take taxes out of our pay packet, oh and yes, by default you pay 8% into a pension. New job? You are automatically enrolled in a union. Want to get out. Fine, fill in the form. (P.S. that one changed the course of British Politics for a century)

We can question how people are persuaded by others to spend their money. We can question the polluters who muck up the rivers, so we can also question the polluters who pollute our minds.

I am sure is an unpopular position, but, at the bottom level, I find it annoying that supermarkets put kids toys and chocolates right next to the checkout.

(Perhaps better advice is - you are human - you will get addicted to something. booze that something carefully)
Genocide specifically refers to the organized extermination of a people. That's not what's happening in Xinjiang. Nobody claims that. They claim it's a 'cultural genocide', which is a very incendiary way of saying China is trying to stamp out Uyghur culture.

That's also awful, but it's not genocide.
>>Bitcoin's survival is not predicated on centralized mining facilities

This is contradictory. If centralized mining doesn't exist, then by definition a 51% attack by centralized mining doesn't happen.
Thanks for an interesting piece. Presumably Wu wouldn't have done this if he didn't have (or think he has) CCP approval? Also Son with his long term business interests in China probably thought he would be OK. Someone has miscalculated badly?
The wealth of a society isn’t in houses and TVs. It’s institutions and structures, such as companies, clubs, families, universities etc.

That’s how you can almost literally wipe a city off the face of the earth and see it rebuilt within a decade, think Germany after WW2or London/SF/Chicago after fire and earthquakes.
Why? Do you rebrand your software projects on every commit?

This is an implementation detail. For 99% of consumers, they look at the advertised performance numbers and make decisions from that. For those people, this change makes no difference.

The SKU is meant for the 1% who like to dig into what kind of flash is being used, what firmware the controller is running, etc. Renaming a product every time the internal implementation is touched would result in a super confusing user experience.

There's not any particular reason to trust Woit more than Gross and Witten.

But you don't really have to worry about the distinction here. Woit is not advocating for any of the alternative approaches to quantum gravity. He's aware that they are basically crap. His complaint is that he thinks the string theorists are claiming to have solved the problem.
I had a similar sentiment reading the article. It seems the author’s primary beef is investors buying up houses and renting them for Airbnb’s taking up available housing stock. Isn’t then the more straightforward solution for the problem just instead to lobby governments to tax the hell out of any house not occupied by its owner in some way? Doing so didn’t completely solve Vancouver’s issue, but it definitely seemed to help.
tl;dr
It’s not the freaking out that hurts them so much as the lack of freaking back in on the rebound

Return to pre-lockdown conditions is basically saying the system is working.

It's not. I've watched the homeless encampments grow over the last 20 years(maybe longer, but I can only speak for my lived experience). The lockdown was perhaps the straw that broke the camel's back to the point where it's hard to ignore, but the problem has been brewing for a while. I blame Ronald Reagan, the ghouls have had it real good since.

> We analyze the financial activity of 653,455 anonymous accounts corresponding to 298,556 households from one of the largest brokerage firms in the United States.

This pisses me off. I don’t want any of my financial firms handing out my data to anyone. It looks like they even gave them demographic information specific enough to likely be identifiable. What firm is this data from? This should be illegal.
That does make some sense, especially for databases that have been around a while. Lots of internals were written with hard drives in mind rather than SSDs, much lower amounts of memory, and so on. On the other hand, it's nice when your database works well in even a very limited or old environment.
