The decision of what gets added to such standards is largely a combination of politics and what is actively being used. Some companies and research labs wanted it to be added and they lobbied successfully for it.

This technology is already usable with many existing routers, though to a lesser degree. The standard is meant to define expectations of how the technology is implemented in future 'SENS' devices.

I guess it could be useful for AR/VR or replace Bluetooth in some location sensing applications (like in stores tracking movement patterns, or monitoring systems for dementia patients living alone).

I dislike how this additional privacy infraction is going to be the norm in a few years.
I am vaccinated, but the paternalism of mandates and passes almost ensures I will never take any booster or share health info when I don't have to.

These people need to be told 'no' in no uncertain terms for them to understand, otherwise this will only escalate. You can enforce any behavior with a security argument and I think Covid is still a bad justification for many measures we see today. There are also vaccinated regions where cases are rising again, much more so than before even.

Everyone that wanted to get vaccinated got a chance to do so, so any rules should be taken back. Those still in danger because they cannot get vaccinated have to deal with the risk themselves. That is manageable if you abdicate of some things, but it risk isn't large enough to restrict others.
I'm one shot in but think this is a huge government overreach to require this from businesses.
We've come full circle back to XML SOAP.

We should consider restricting the registration of .org domains to actual non-profit organizations, and restricting the use of words like "schema" and "standard" to things that have been fully certified as such by internationally accredited engineering bodies.

This doesn't add anything on-top of the tools we've had 40 years ago. We're stuck with this everywhere now, all thanks to pure marketing.
In Germany the PEI reported ~two cases where they consider it likely or very likely that Co­mir­na­ty caused death (out of ~100 million doses). Obviously, this is extremely rare (~10 ppb), but saying that the notion is "ridiculous" is... ridiculous. Overall these are very safe as far as we can tell, but as with everything in life, this does not mean zero risk (the obverse risk of not being vaccinated is how many orders of magnitude higher? Five. Five orders of magnitude.)

This article is about the problem of using TrueCrypt, which allows you to create a single hidden layer;
In case TrueCrypt usage is detected, the requirement to give out the hidden layer password would be quite reasonable, because then you can be sure that the container is decrypted in its entirety.
In the case of FractalCrypt, only part of the container can be decrypted, even knowing all the passwords; hence, denying the existence of truly secret data can be quite convincing, for example, by first giving out unclassified, and after a long interrogation giving out semisecret ones.

In addition, the article states that
> In other scenarios the feature can be useful. If the attacker has limited resources (i.e. can only torture you for 30 minutes), or if you are "innocent until proven guilty" under the law, then it can be advantageous to use a hidden volume. Just don't recommend TrueCrypt to your friends in North Korea, or at least make sure they use a hidden volume.

In most situations, such as a police raid or criminal robbery, you will not be tortured to death.
However, it is really better not to use FractalCrypt in North Korea.
No one will ever figure out how to block the light? Is that what you are going to go with!
I think more reasonable stance would be to require employers offer sufficient protective gear for unvaccinated employees. Gas masks aren't that expensive. And any private person can at their own cost also buy such device to fully protect themselves.
oof, i got some north korea vibes from your comment. They dont find it strange when there are dead people in the streets. They perceive the most horrible things as normal, because they have never known what "not normal" is. Anyway, it has nothing to do with your comment, but it made me think of that.
Yeah, why not mandate gas masks? They aren't too expensive and work.
a good way to teach these physics to students is to lead them through the ages by teaching the old models, then let them find out in experiments those models' incorrectness, and then teach them the new discovered models that more correctly predicts reality, and continue.

You can do this with the atom, you can do with with Newtonian physics (and teach relativity as a result). You can do with classical physics of matter, then teach the double slit experiments, and then teach quantum mechanics as follow ups etc .
- User-Agent is an optional HTTP header

- RESTful APIs don't even expect a User-Agent

- User-Agent is customisable (ie bad bots can trivially use an array of seemingly authentic strings)

- Even Google are moving away from using User-Agent for identification.
Thanks for mentioning this. Both stories are lovely, some of the most enjoyable and intellectually satisfying writing I've read this month.

On that note, I keep dreaming that one day, someone will make a Lisp with all the code generation goodies and Haskell-grade type system. That would be my dream language to code in.

(As it is right now, I mostly do C++17 in overtly-type-safe style at work, and typed Common Lisp on the side...)
rule of the thumb: progressive JPEG costs ~3x more resources (CPU, memory) than baseline JPEG.

With baseline jpeg, you can blit the decoded blocks to screen directly and forget about it.

For progressive, you have to buffer the whole image (in DCT format!) and do the idct / color-space conversion on all passes.
I have two (https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2021/05/27/hifive-unmatched/) so I guess ask me anything ...
> This oversimplifies it. How does that logic apply to Britain, France or Israel?

While it may not have been a fear of being nuked, the United Kingdom's program was very much motivated by fear of the United States in other ways. Ernest Bevin said at the time:

> "We've got to have this thing. I don't mind it for myself, but I don't want any other Foreign Secretary of this country to be talked at or to by the Secretary of State of the United States as I have just been in my discussion with Mr Byrnes. We've got to have this thing over here, whatever it costs ... We've got to have the bloody Union Jack flying on top of it."

Even for delta?

The actual study the article claims the summarize:

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3...

Find the word 'delta' in the text of the actual study. It ain't there. And look at the dates of the study. Most of the data is pre-delta.

Your linked ACSH article simply fabricates a conclusion based on no evidence.

The scientific establishment sickens me here. The goal is to get people to vaccinate, which is reasonable enough. The outcome is the opposite, though. The lies are common enough and transparent enough that the whole establishment loses credibility, and a huge swath of the world doesn't believe it about vaccines, climate change, and a slew of other issues.
> If matte was so much better, wouldn't there be a market for matte overlays for smartphones?

If I put the query "antiglare matte protector" on ebay I get an offering of 49000 results of different matte screen covers for phones/tablets/laptops etc. Would that 'after purchase' offer exist if everyone loved the glossy screen experience, like you do?
This reasoning also would justify mandatory colonoscopies, or requiring a 3 mile daily run, for 100 million people. Yes, that might reduce the load on the health care system long term (except the colonoscopy & PT departments ...), but historically in the U.S. that would have been viewed as a galactic overreach.
> privacy doesn't work like that

Except we aren't discussing private conversations. We are discussing broadcast conversations on twitter.
With battery-powered devices being so common, "fast enough" is no longer the only criterion for performance. Every cycle that the CPU doesn't spend idle subtracts from battery life.
Vaccines only work if a large majority are vaccinated

Thats not true at all. If I get vaccinated it reduces my risk of serious disease - the vaccine works.
Hepatitis-B is more serious than Covid-19?

By what criteria?
User Retention
Twitter makes its money as a marketing engine. Who can say what marketing is deemed intentionally deceptive? I'm not a Twitter user either but it seems to me an obvious question.
This isn't just true for the US and many countries with unemployment benefits require you not to quit. You have to get fired, you might even have rights to compensations for that depending on location.
You still are not allowed to insult not just the German Leader (which Germany hasn't had in 84 years), but anyone at all.

Insults are a misdemeanor crime and you can and will be fined several thousand dollars for calling your local cop an asshole or whoreson, for instance. (Which is better than the US where you will likely get molested, possibly arrested, and might get shot for the unwritten crime of 'contempt of cop'.)
About Automated Account Labels
At what point was the Taliban defeated?

There was perhaps a short period before the Iraq war where they were close to defeat but from memory there was never a point they stopped fighting.
"A bank" is not the same as "the bank".

In your example, the money borrowed by Charlie from B does later go back to bank B.

But if you remove the last transaction it doesn't.

Hence, it doesn't necessarily happen.

objectively, polio was eradicated via vaccine.

objectively, US had a fighting chance in its independence war due to George Washington's forced immunization of armies.

What you are sharing is proof that propaganda works. You are sharing non-scholarly articles from untrustworthy websites..

It's absurd because anyone can set up a website at anytime with charts/data saying anything we might want and reach any conclusion we want.

This is what you are sharing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learn_The_Risk but I guess you did not do your own research on what you are consuming... Their arguments are disputed in the wikipedia links if you want to inform yourself.

> Arguments against vaccination are contradicted by overwhelming scientific consensus about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.[7][8][9][10]

It's also a non profit set up by an antivaxer that has no research/investigative capabilities, all they do is gather donations and spread fake data to gather more donations.
> I'd expect that there's a wealth of information between those two time periods

If you have gathered information but doesn't share it freely you have no right to point fingers at anyone else who does the same testing no matter the time difference. The US doesn't share the results and knowledge gained freely so it have zero right or moral ground to point fingers at anyone on weapons testing. If the knowledge had been shared India would have had less reason to do the tests. The US is partly to blame.
All this would be much less if a problem if people didn’t have to work to survive.

Universal healthcare and UBI are would enable much more employer freedom in defining working conditions.
Just admit that you're antivax and let's move on. And yes, "I am not always against vaccines" does not count.
> if it qualifies as an "attempted coup" (which implies that it had a remote chance of succeeding

No, an "attempted coup" means an attempt at a coup d'état. Probability of success doesn't matter for an attempt to be classified as an attempt, only intentions.
I've used Google Vision API for a wide variety of Arabic fonts and it has worked pretty well with recognising ligatures but not diacritics as it either doesn't recognise them or adds non-existent ones.
I know almost nothing about Swift except that it's some Apple-sponsored programming language, so I guess their main development thrust would be Arm. However as its implemented using LLVM, and LLVM has supported RISC-V for a very long time (at least since 2015/2016), there is hope that a volunteer port would not be too complicated.
> However, they are also repudiatable (i.e. non-opposable) -- since all packet signatures are produced with symmetric keys, the recipient of a message cannot, at any point in time, prove to a third party that he was not in fact the author of that message.

So basically there is intentionally no way to prevent message forgery by the recipient. Why?

Also tbh. how can I trust a person who in 2021 still hasn't understood that/why HTTPS is important for security even if you only provide read only content with making proper crypto/security decisions?
I don't think GB has a first-strike policy or the nuclear arsenal we would need to pursue one. We have on the same order of warheads as the French.

If you test and gain knowledge and then work to ban testing you are part of the problem. If the US wants to stop others from testing it needs to share all gained knowledge freely or accept it opened pandora's box and cannot shut it again.
I might be exceptionally dense, but it's hard for me to see practical applications for something like this. In the end, if you implement this in your application, you will have a mechanism to say "this input document is invalid". AND THEN WHAT? Your only option is to discard it.

I'd rather live by the old maxim "be liberal in what you accept, and strict in what you produce". But perhaps I'm overlooking an important use case here, in which I'd happily stand corrected.
Tangentially related, is there a good open-source tool for handwriting OCR? I want to digitize hand-written notes and make them searchable. Google Lens does a really good job, but I'd like to remove the dependency on tools that I can't run myself.

>"Blind opposition is just as silly as blindly following the flow"

I think opposition to being pressured regardless of the reasons is quite normal and healthy behavior because in most of the life situations people are being pressured into something that benefits somebody else.
The term "bot" isn't something created by Twitter. Bot's have been discussed from IRC to web forums and it's been universally agreed that someone a human interacting with the service (which will always be via software because we're not talking about physical communications here) is different from a headless script posting either generated or curated content automatically.

Sure, there will be some nuances where it's not so clear cut. But to say that there is no such concept of a "bot" is ridiculously misinformed about any of tech released in the last 30 years of electronic communication.
From the link you posted:

> Measurements obtained with WLAN sensing can be used to support new industrial and commercial applications in semiconductor manufacturing, enterprise networking, and test and measurement equipment. The standard will also benefit end user applications, such as home security, entertainment, energy management (HVAC, light, device power savings), home elderly care, and assisted living.

Sounds reasonable. I still worry about what it means for privacy in our homes, and for the future with ever more surveillance and erosion of our rights.
Literally anyone... if they live in a country with the supply chains for asics/gpus in place... if they can afford the hardware and cost of electricity...

PoW works to a certain scale, when we can mine on laptops and the number of users is low it is a great system. but at this point it is clearly operated by large organisations, and using an absurdly unnecessary amount of energy for the job.

pos uses less energy, runs on cheaper hardware that is easy to manufacture and acquire (solar powered raspberry pis), easier to hide participation from governments, and you can mint gasless nfts and sell them to start earning tokens, so you dont have massive hardware costs up front. you can draw pictures and start receiving crypto, then use that as your stake in a validating pool. cheaper and easier for people to participate, less resource drain so better capital efficiency, harder to censor.

> I’d love to shop there.

If I had enough time and money I would start a company specializing in just this: home and office hardware (from kitchen appliances to smartphones and players) designed with care and focus on offline-friendliness, autonomousness, durability, ease of repair, configurability, hackability, upgradability and privacy without compromise in features and the UX. I believe the potential market, although niche, already is big enough and the lack of competition is intriguing.
I'm not sure why you think this is good news:

"The technology can measure range, velocity, and angular information; detect motion, presence, or proximity; detect objects, people, and animals; and be used in rooms, houses, cars, and enterprise environments."

It seems incredibly invasive. Can some peeping tom just turn on his WiFi base station to track if the next door neighbour he is obsessed with has a guy over...if she's in her bedroom...is in the shower...you get the idea. Creepy stuff!
Rakuten Viki is Hiring: Staff Software Engineer (Golang, Backend)
Yes. But as dang says every so often, don't reply to a bad comment with another bad comment. This "I know you're not that stupid" thing is obviously not necessary. Leave that out and we wouldn't be having this conversation about what's acceptable and what's not.
If any of your basic kitchen appliances connect to the internet, I will forever use you as a punchline.

Even if I didn't, it'd probably not be worth it.
This is wrong. Its trivial to track aa link. There is no way you are a web developer with comments like this. Why do you even bother?
'jcrites' is talking about the US, not Germany.
History has not been kind to efforts like these.
Not at all. Vaccine mandates date back to George Washington, if you look at it the right way.
Yes, we already know that. The point is everything that can be automated with a smart contract can also be automated with a computer program in conventional finance. Therefore "smart contracts" do not provide a competitive advantage, contrary to what the other poster suggested.
We all know "good" will equal "what Twitter owners like". That can only be "bad bots".
This doesn't surprise me. I had forgotten about it until now, but I remember this being released around the time Epic was sustaining allegations about scanning and monitoring their users' computers.

People didn't want to use it, they didn't see the use for it at the time, and I don't think it ever had enough marketing push to do much of anything.

Downloaded a total of 17m times, keeping in mind much of those aren't real users, or will never make it to the "active user" step of the acquisition funnel. That's almost nothing.
They will sell you thief protection, alarm if chidren or pets move to certain places, rbnb tooling and so on.

Mathematically the main thing stopping it from being a function is that categories are typically too big to be a set. Otherwise they're pretty much the same as a function.

The whole type thing is just something Haskell does, it's not something that's meaningful for general categories.

Are there successful nation states that do not rely on centralized power? Take the US for example after 1865 it was made clear that the US has one capital, one leader and one government.

> fmap (f . g) == fmap f . fmap g

Can you give an example where that doesn't follow from `map identity f == f`? Assuming of course `f` .. is what I think is called 'pure'? i.e. is deterministic on its input arguments.

The load on the system is apparently hugely different. The system has managed to accommodate people with colon cancer and heart disease, so mandating those things hasn't been as pressing from that perspective. Meanwhile, covid has filled up hospitals and ICUs
