I had this happen to me once on my Surface Go tablet. I had no idea that BitLocker was enabled, whether I did it at initial setup and didn't remember or it was on by default. One day it refused to boot until I entered a key that I had no idea even existed. Fortunately, I was able to log in to my MS account and retrieve the key.
No it couldn't. The ARM ecosystem is a lot more fragmented than x86, and M1 does not follow the SystemReady specification (which mandates certain hardware beyond the CPUs), which means OSes need core kernel patches to support it (which is what we're doing with Linux). To run Windows on the M1 requires Microsoft's cooperation. You can't do it just by writing drivers.

This isn't new; Microsoft did it with the Raspberry Pi 3, which is also a nonstandard SoC. But it can't be done by Apple alone.

You would probably be better off looking at discussion forums that use that business model. HN is part of a larger business model unrelated to what you are considering doing. Asking such questions here likely doesn't actually get you the kind of info you are looking for.

>One of the links is literally about "jails", so the pedantry is not useful.

Both links are about jails, when the discussion was about prisons. Their pedantry was completely on point.

And while prisons and jails are similar enough that you can group data from them to get a view of the entire legally detained population, that doesn't make statements about one entirely transferable to the other. They're different institutions run by different people and housing different (though overlapping) populations.
You have to remember that the equipment wasn't just "left behind" as if by accident in some disorganized retreat. It was operated by the Afghan Air Force and was an integral part of their defense.

It wasn't the U.S. retreat that turned these over to the Taliban. It was the unexpected, near-immediate dissolution of the Afghan military that did.

Is it hard to make inputs capacitive/force sensing based and feedback flexion based? Are finger travels necessary or better?

I’m picturing a very Apple mouse like device with dimples for fingers, covered in a rubber like material, that changes its stiffness using some internal solenoid or piezo mechanisms.
Sugar is a dangerous drug masquerading as a macronutrient. It is probably as dangerous as cigarettes and alcohol, and more deleterious to you health (although not as acutely dangerous) than hard drugs like opiates and amphetamines.

Via the Self programming language. That’s where prototypes come from. Self messages were closures, so JS functions are first class. Smalltalk was considered to be in the spirit of Lisp, and Self replaced classes with prototypes. That or Brendan Eich was mixing several features from expressive languages.
If that were possible, wouldn’t capacitive coupling be simpler and achieve a similar goal?
I usually keep to a low carb diet. Recently I had a burger from a local burger joint bun included. The entire time I’m eating this burger I keep thinking this is the best damn burger I’ve had in forever. I chalk it up to being hungry. At the end of the burger I had bite of bun left that was bare of toppings. I ate it and realized this white bread bun is so sweet it tastes more like cake than bread… no wonder I thought the burger tasted so good.

I thought Lenat was pretty up front about what Eurisko did and why it was nearly a one-trick pony. What I gathered from his writings was that he essentially used a Genetic Algorithm (which was novel at the time as it would have been a very early, possibly the first, implementation) to modify the Lisp code. So it was essentially randomly swapping out tiny snippets (i.e. Lisp atoms) of the code and managed to achieve good results because of the impedance match between the Lisp code and the problem domain.

So while I wouldn't say it was smoke and mirrors, Eurisko was both novel (for the GA approach) and disappointing (it had nothing resembling understanding of the problem) at the same time.
Ooh, great example!

I won't lie, I'll be looking forward to a SoC upgrade on that, but I'm just done with throwing $$$ at companies that sit on mountains of cash yet can't be arsed to dump some info on how to even use their hardware.
Money and work needs to go into HW support where it is easier to get to the full potential of the device, not burn money and brain cycles on giving the richest company in the field à lift. Apple needs to lose mindshare. They have never cared about FLOSS and they never will, just accept that and move on to more open platforms or things will never change.

Or, in keeping with the content: did you consider that you might have misunderstood?

Personally I took it the same way some other commenters did: the audience is plenty well educated to understand his point, but they were cheering the masterful description, and he was riffing.

Guy's dead, so we'll never know, but hopefully we can learn the lesson he was offering and not be so self-righteously confident when engaging each other about something that could be interpreted two ways.
Anyone have an example of this running somewhere?
I'm in Canada (BC) and have always had a dynamic IP, across ~4 different ISPs in the last several years. I think that's typical, we have a pretty good number of allocated IP addresses per person.
Every Canadian wireline ISP, as far as I'm aware, issues routable IPv4 addresses to all customers. Usually dynamic, but the leases are generally very long.
If I were to lend you money, would you pay me back in full, on time? To venture a guess, I'd like to know:

- the outcome of all of your past debts,

- your current sources of income,

- likely future sources of income,

- and a valuation of (some) of your assets that I might be able to go after if you don't pay me.

To me, any other indicator used in some kind of correlation game is just laziness.

Let's just identify people we don't like and give them low credit scores, and give ourselves high credit scores. Right?

Trans fats are harmful (well except some natural ones), but how can sodium be a harmful nutrient unless you have existing cardiovascular or renal issues? Seems like a strange statement.

the issue was Musk making up an acquisition offer at an imaginary price of 420.69 because his girlfriend thought it was funny.
No, Musk said "a deal is done" while in reality the other side of the deal didn't agree to anything, and ultimately nothing happened. Would've been the same fraud if it was a press release on EDGAR, probably worse since you can always play cute and say "lol it's Twitter it's for shitposting". Nothing to do with insider trading (that we know of) and little to do with the form of the disclosure/lie. It was just a cacophonous stupidity.

It isn't just payment processing. Recently looking at various ethical ETFs, I'm finding that they all filter out companies for social harm. Which includes porn. Even the green ETFs. So on the first few paragraphs of the disclosure doc you are investing in companies with carbon targets meeting whatever criteria, no fossil fuels, etc. And next find out they are also skipping gambling, guns, tobacco and adult entertainment.
I taught a Linux workshop to blind/visually impaired in Virginia this summer.

orca is the main screen reader used in Linux. Most of them were familiar with Jaws on Windows. Orca offers a kinda similar screen reader experience but the hotkeys are different (ability to re-read a line, jump a word, jump a section, etc)

They were on laptops so I could still look over their shoulder if they needed help, but after a while they all got the hang of it and we were "off to the races". It was thrilling to see it click for them and to see such a completely different user experience.
Instructions are usually pretty clear (eg. XDA posts for ROM releases or LineageOS wiki pages are usually quite clear, the latter being more than the former IMO). It might be harder, but usually laypeople can get by (eg. aren't particularly knowledgeable but perhaps aren't afraid of using the command line either, even if it's just copypasting). At least that's the impression I get from people posting on XDA.

Either way, I can usually flash ROMs without issue (I don't know a lot about Android but I do understand how my computer works, I guess), but when I do it I usually get incredibly nervous and panicky out of fear that I'll brick my phone or I forgot to back up something important.

This is because as we grow older, our sweet taste receptors become more sensitive [0]. This is a finding from research last year by UIUC. This finding also makes evolutionary sense, as children have higher energy needs due to their growth.

A quote from the research post link: “Compared with adults, children and adolescents are less sensitive to the sweet taste and need 40% more sucrose in a solution for them to detect the taste of sugar, a new study found.”

Well, this is an interesting issue. There's a result with very serious implications floating around that I've been waiting for someone to reproduce.

The gist of it is that when NOAA measurement stations fail or get retired, they're replaced with virtual stations that generate fabricated data generated by models that assume the CO2 hypothesis. That'd be bad, huh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzGPq9LSjEw
This is exactly the scenario for which spec ops are trained, what they live for. Specially rolling in for allies and friends.

Politics has limits, you can see it in this case. For cases like this, you need warriors to step in.

They're trained to handle themselves in the battlefield, you just left them go into danger, they'll manage to get out with the mission accomplished.

Again, they are - good, brave - warriors.
And the main reason for substance abuse is the lack of jobs and the lack of hope.

The reason that most people stay clean is the need to get up and go to work the next day.

And the reason they go to work is because it will give them a better standard of living.

Take away permanent jobs, reasonable wages, affordable housing, and many people will simply give up hope.
> Do you mean they want to be found in a position where they can be justified to shoot?

Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. Except, "justified" is even a bit of a stretch. It's more of a "justified in their own mind" and not exactly per the law, and then thinking that they're so high, mighty, and personable that they'll be able to win over a judge/jury with their reasoning.

I'm honestly not trying to exaggerate, it's pretty fucking scary and unsettling. Gun nuts will tell you some fucked up shit if you physically look like what they think to be a "good" person.

The only slight restoration in faith I've had in a few years was upon meeting a dude with well over 200 guns, including two .50 cals, an exceptionally beefy .458 SOCOM build, a few transferable machine guns, and over 250,000 rounds of assorted calibers of ammunition (that was all that was in his immediately visible storage)

I was with a buddy (no longer friends with because they're batshit insane) who is incredibly gung-ho about personal carry, everywhere he goes, including where it's posted to be illegal (banks, hospitals, etc) who wanted to know what the dude enjoyed to carry. Dude fairly quickly explained that he's never felt the need to carry and doesn't even have his CCW, and asked why my buddy felt the need to carry where we live (there is absolutely zero reason within a 30mile+ radius, unless you're perhaps a farmer with large livestock that could knock you down - but that's not even really CCW-esque, as you're on your property)

My buddy was quite visibly miffed by his response. At a later time the dude and I were together, he mentioned he never really talks about his guns because of the amount of crazy mofos in the hobby, and that he got the idea my buddy was one of them (he was)

Now, how exactly did we meet and see all of his guns he typically doesn't show people?

Sewing. We were all also sewing hobbyists, with multiple fairly large machines. His large garage/second house on his property is where all of his sewing/guns/woodworking equipment goes, that he typically doesn't bring people to unless they're coming for sewing or woodworking. And so, in the end, why all these guns you may wonder? I obviously don't know the intricacies of his mind as I do mine, but we're both mechanical engineers (and I a hobby machinist), and there's something very much to enjoy about guns from that perspective. Just as there is in sewing, woodworking, and machining. But goddamn do the crazies (which seem to be the norm now) ruin the gun hobby.
Actually, no it wasn't. What was clear was that low altitude bombers were going to become useless due to look-down shoot-down radars. High altitude and high speed bombers were and are the best non-stealth alternative.

There are two backdoor potential you know. The software, which on my Huawei I prevent with a whitelist firewall which works so insanely well that it doubled my battery life, and the radio chip.

Sadly, whatever you do, on all phones manufactured in China or designed in the US, you risk a hardware backdoor you can never inspect.

What do you know of the radio chipset, taking electricity to connect to the remote antenna: it can probably ping, get signal from the mic and gps, or the camera etc.

If you re going to be paranoid, because you attack children or sell drugs, why the hell do you buy phones in the first place !?
I'd add salt to that. Americans consume way too much of these two ingredients. I cook some good stuff but I take it easy on the salt, it tastes better that way, and almost everyone that tries it says it needs more.

I like sugar, I use a little bit in my coffee, tea, I like fruits and stuff. But I don't drink soda or eat pastries or candy (except in November). Knowing how much sugar I used to consume really baffles me, and when I see how much other people eat I am dumbfounded that I ever considered such a thing normal. It's like watching little kids smoke cigarettes for breakfast.
Saving the article for a later read—this is a subject that I've always been curious about. Around a decade or so ago, there was some mid-level Apple executive who went to jail for some bribery thing (I think—it was a decade or so ago) and I set up a Google alert on his name, curious to see what would become of him when he got out of jail. It's been triggered once or twice since then and both times were stories that referenced the original conviction.
Wow I was even further off than that.
Interesting.. It's somehow tough for me to accept that a "NP complete" problem can be solved with a regular language.

You construct a DFA. Your start state has (string of toy length) transitions to every possible toy. Then these toys all have self edges looping to themselves (with a string of length toy), and edges to every other toy (with those edges being the length of the other toy)...

But what is your accepting state, do you have 2 "escape" transitions of "toy cost" and "other toy cost" from "toy" to a terminating, accepting state? (Does that work?)

It feels like an abuse of regular languages and automata, and I'm not sure it works...

This is like saying: the balanced parentheses problem can be solved by a regular language, *if you fix the balanced parentheses problem to strings of 2^5 length, and build a machine that accepts all balanced parentheses combinations of 2^5 length. Like yeah, you could hack together an automata to recognize all 2^5 strings, but is it a proper automata at that point?
Any alternatives? I’m guessing olive oil is a good substitute?
It’s specifically corporate policy in the auto industry — records older than x years that don’t directly relate to warranty, service or ongoing litigation are to be destroyed with annual reviews to ensure this. It means that if you sue long enough after the fact discovery won’t yield anything because it’s policy to not have anything responsive to negligence in design. This has been official policy since at least the 1980s, but probably longer than that. I think this sort of policy should be discouraged, but I understand the chain of unintended consequences in jurisprudence and regulation that created the incentives to result in this policy.
What's the solution, defund the police to "send a message" to bad cops? See how well that works out in Minneapolis , Chicago, Portland.

Well, the fitness band didn't have its firmware flashed. that's not where the tracking is anyway. It's a different app being used to collect the data.

Recent models of many Xiaomi bands require an authorization code that must be taken from an existing account that has linked with the watch. If someone's skilled enough to run a python script they can get the code and install Gadgetbridge.
25+ years of experience here. I see this problem with inexperienced developers much more than experienced ones. Which makes sense. Experienced developers have more experience feeling the pain of having to deal with unmaintainable code. So they care more about it.
Yeah I don't know either. I'm really at a loss. It almost looks like sabotage.

The Blaze isn't typical reading material for me, but I'll note that the article you posted doesn't support the notion that the establishment hid the troop numbers from Trump just to make him look bad. Rather, they were desperate to protect our positions, our troops, and our allies in Syria and Western Iraq.

And Trump wouldn't have fired anyone. He's too much of a coward for that. He didn't fire Mattis. Mattis resigned, and then Trump tried to save face by claiming that he fired Mattis. Sort of the way a six year old might.

Biden doesn't have abject stupidity as an excuse. He smart, experienced, and not prone to recklessly disregarding the advice of his charges. And yet he fucked this up about as hard as something can be fucked.
The power layer is going to leak less power to heat than the other layers, correct? So the power rails will work as heat spreaders, if not particularly great ones.
You might have a point here. Frankly I have no interest in most of the commentary since a lot of it devolves into arguments having little to do with the original topic, but the main thing is that we have no idea what someone’s qualifications are when they respond to something here. For example, I have NO business providing advice to start up founders as I have no experience there.

But a paid model could open the door to verifying a person’s qualifications on various topics. Then we’d be able to know to some degree if a person’s taking out of their ass or not.

So yeah…not a bad point, especially if it lets to credibility and better experiences.
Many phones come close and even do better, just install GCam. It's in the software, not the hardware.
