A screenshot can be forged, meanwhile Facebook has reasonable certainty about the authenticity of the message. This third end is within the WhatsApp platform, so we're not really comparing the same thing.

It's essentially a forward to the party that supposedly can't see your messages, breaking what people understand by E2E.

Today this behavior is triggered when it's reported, tomorrow it'll be when the government, or worse, some AI, flags a user. You share a groupchat with the wrong person, or they have you in their contact list, boom, eavesdropped.

But some people will still claim it's only 2 ends just because it's not forwarded 100% of the time. I guess it's matter of semantics.

Cinema screens was the most popular screen format in the early 20th century.

It was cheaper to have wider halls than taller, more seats, maybe lesser construction costs so 11:8 ( standard academy) or 1.43:1(IMAX) or 2.2:1 (70mm) all became popular.

The wider screens also gave more immersive experiences and film makers took advantage of that in their movies with panoramic landscape shots and other techniques.

Most non professional films(post covid even a lot of professional ones) are watched today on a smart phone screen which is usually something like 9:16.

So, unless you are making a movie to be released in theatres I would say film makers should default to use 9:16 not other way around.

A good film maker should target the medium they are working with, there is nothing inherently special about either one.

There were great directors/actors who could do amazing work without sound or only b/w etc (sometimes failed to adapt to to the transition), all mediums have some limitations we have to work with what we have.

I think that you have an overestimated opinion about the vendors' SDK, not all of them have acceptable quality, but let's leave it to the discretion of the developers themselves. What is really important for our clients who use the EmailJS service from the back-end is flexibility and freedom of choice. If vendor "X" suddenly stops working for you or if there are any problems, the migration to another vendor will take several days. With the EmailJS service, about 10 minutes: add another service and move your traffic to it.

Indeed, someone could copy your code, but they will only be able to send your templates, with your content, and will not be able to send a custom email with their own content (spam). Which is absolutely not interesting for attackers.

So what is the hourly cost of a z/360 micro instance?
This, a thousand percent. Most of the current and last generations leading the current discussion (aka the developed world) grew up in democratic, capitalistic societies.

Captialism at its core is soulless and I hate it — BUT so far I've failed to see any alternatives I would trust to help on this matter. These days I just see romantic descriptions of communism and socialism (actual socialism, not the social democracy Americans often mistake for it) everywhere, from people who clearly haven't ever had to live in it.

Just as a reminder, here in Germany we're _still_ cleaning up the economical and ecological disasters of the GDR to this day (Bitterfeld anyone?), and the USSR didn't exactly lead the green revolution either (Chernobyl, Mayak, ....)

Whenever I see people advocating "Tackling climate change needs a system change", I'm like: Yeah... nope.

> that only one individual can deliver

That's a fallacy. There are very smart people cleaning toilets and picking strawberries in the hot sun because capitalism is far far from a level playing field. While not everyone is going to be a surgeon or physicist, there are far more people capable of it than our current system surfaces.

> How do you equally compensate everyone

It's only in a selfishness-oriented culture where someone with rare skills will leverage that scarcity to hoard more of society's resources for themselves. Why should a surgeon make 50 to 100 times a farm worker for work that is equally exhausting?

Why should a star NBA basketball player earn 10 times more than that surgeon, for being born tall and having amazing ball handling skills?

Why should a founder/CEO earn 10 to 100 times more than that NBA star (10,000 to 100,000 times more than the strawberry picker) for a social media company that profits off of social media addiction, undermining privacy to harvest information to sell advertising that in turn is used to manipulate people's emotions and weaknesses?

If your answer is that "the market says so", you are begging the question.

If your answer is that it's because of "human nature", we've made that a self-fulfilling prophesy by adopting a system where "selfishness is a virtue".

The need to be in the sun isn't about power. Wherever JWST is, it has to be exposed to either the sun or to a planetary body that's shielding it.

At the low temperatures involved, Earth's night side puts out enough infrared radiation from its own heat to cause problems. JWST is all the way out at Sun-Earth L2 not for power reasons, but so that it will never be in a position where it needs to keep off heat from two different directions.

Nuclear does not help with this. In fact, by having a nearby penetrating radiation source and a high-temperature core mechanically connected to the spacecraft, it may be worse from a thermal perspective.

JWST is a strange spacecraft with very strange design constraints. Your intuitions about planetary/Earth-science or higher-frequency astronomy will not serve you well here.

"The food filter is there for a reason, he adds – simply remove and clean it once a month"

If you have a Bosch, I'd recommend doing it every third or fourth cycle. There's no food grinder/impeller in these machines and the fine filter gathers material way faster than what you're probably used to.

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M2b9QeiYRo&t=80s

The idea of leaving half-washed food waste in the machine and recirculated for a whole month also doesn't appeal to me. But perhaps that's just me.
Generally: operating systems such as Linux and Windows have a great deal of "bloat".

One major drag on current computer performance is the paging MMU which turns a simple memory lookup into indirecting over pointers 3 or 4 times.

Sure there is a "translation lookaside buffer" that caches this work, but it is a lot of transitors, is a venue for SPECTRE and MELTDOWN type attacks, etc.

One could dream of a new hardware and OS combination that eliminates quite a bit of this, but where would you get software to run on it? You will probably have a list of programs you like, such as "vim", "bash", "grep", "python" and all of those are built assuming you have an Unix-like or Windows-like API.

Put in that API and you have put all the bloat back in. If your goal was to make an OS that has different characteristics, you lost.

This indicates to me that you are using a literal tub of water to wash the items in, using the same water for all dishes. Kinda gross but besides the point. Most people that hand wash dishes are just letting the faucet run while they wash the dish so that's why it uses so much water, they aren't reusing any water

Some really sketchy behavior coming out of the SEC recently
> those kids would have had to push carts up mine shafts in the previous era

No, most kids of the previous era never came within a million miles of pushing a mine cart up a shaft. We have very well documented historical records of what type of work young people were most commonly doing circa 1850-1950, mining was not one of the top activities (nor was any other type of very dangerous hard labor).

I don't much care about kids cloning lame faux dance routines on TikTok, I think it's mostly benign and unimportant. And it's definitely a temporary fad (these kids won't be spending lots of time learning and cloning lame dance routines in 10 second videos ten years from now). It's also exceptionally vapid. I grew up with MTV when it was becoming a thing, and it too was largely vapid garbage (although not entirely, as is true of TikTok), and it culturally melted away just as TikTok will recede with time, as the kids move on to something newer and cooler, as always happens.

The biggest shot against TikTok is that most of the young people on there aren't even producing their own content, they're directly copying other content and repeating it like brainless zombies. Maybe it's no worse than mediocre cultural cloning was in past decades, it's just considerably accelerated and pumped up in terms of projection / audience. It's nothing great to celebrate though, it's a high-fructose soda for the brain (which is why it's so addictive), an intravenous line of cheap validation for nacissists and young people with low self-esteem, not high quality sustenance. MTV didn't lead to an improved outcome for the generation reared on it, and TikTok won't either, there isn't actually much value being created with it. These types of platforms don't matter very much ultimately, in terms of consumption they're mostly just another way to pass the time for bored brains.
To oversimplify, it's running the Minecraft server software in a way that behaves like it's running on a specific server.

But in the background, it's run on a set of Amazon services. You don't have to rent a specific server for a given time period, like monthly server rental.

You just use Amazon's on-demand services (that use whichever server resources are required at the time).
I love these histories of technology. The people and the times are fascinating. I never watched Toy Story growing up. I was in high school and it seemed like a child’s movie so I wasn’t interested in it. Now, 25+ years later, I have daughter who is of the age (2.5) to understand it. Recently we did a marathon watching all movies over a couple days. It’s shocking to see how the animation improves over the years but even more astonishing is how good the original one was for being made back in 1995. I can only imagine how magical it felt back then. As the article points out, algorithms and raw computation is necessary, but not sufficient, for success. Creativity and artistry are required to truly be great.
I might have misread some of the tables, but I think it was saying that with the proliants you get 10x the compute power of the mainframe, and it costs nearly 30% more when you do that.
Pretty sure they still do for some software they sell ;)
It's full of 40-year-olds trying to justify how their phobia of TikTok is somehow different from their parents' phobia of video games or rock-and-roll.
> The app allows people who are required to isolate to opt to do their isolation at home, rather than stay at a quarantine facility. Nobody is being forced to use the app

Weird. In Canada we're allowed to isolate at home without a wildly intrusive app, or police visits or anything like that.

We get a fine if we are caught out when we are required to isolate, that's all.

Personally if my government was proposing this kind of quarantine tracking, I'd be looking to move somewhere sane.

It's the kind of thing where you have to try it for yourself. No javascript == best user experience possible.

* instant load times

* stable performance

* no tracking, and sometimes even no ads

* no stupid animations that break scrolling, ask you to sign up for newsletters, etc

* no hijacked back button, or disabled highlighting/copy/paste, or pop ups/unders

Unless you're trying to play games, or use some complicated web application like an IDE, javascript offers absolutely nothing of value to you. It only exists to benefit the owner of the website. For 99.999% of web browsing use-cases, HTML/CSS is all that's needed.

The only situation I can think of where javascript has the potential to offer an improved user experience is with infinite scrolling. That's personal preference though, so if it's something you value, I could understand wanting to enable javascript.

(also, I just checked and noticed that Twitter refuses to work if you disable js. Fuck you, Twitter.)

How adorable! You think "propaganda" is anything more than a post-hoc reactionary label often applied by those afraid of the outcome of widespread espousal of a controversial idea.

Yes, it exists. Yes, people are far more vulnerable to it than anyone thinks they are. Free Speech, however, is an ideal exactly in that we often in reality fail to attain it, but nevertheless should strive to.

Without the ability to articulate that which is ugly and repugnant to the common sensibility, one is divested of the capability of immunizing oneself from being led astray by someone already too far gone.

We should protect the ability to speak monstrous things that we are not intellectually blinded to their existence. For they will arise whether we talk about them in polite company or not.

To everyone claiming "ohhh that's illegal/unethical" I say to you: take it in your favor for once. For every 100 clients aws bills unexpectedly and with no controls in place to mitigate, you can be the 1 who gets a free month of service. They will not pursue you for $5.

Late reply. Viewing comments, I realize my initial comment was a bit too snarky. I was not at all trying to shield the manufacturers from being held responsible for harm from a defective product. I was mostly concerned that people would use the situation to decry all vaccines, denying their benefit. To extend the analogy of the Ford Pinto, I didn't want someone to say that because Ford made a dangerous car, that all cars were bad, that Ford was trying to kill off American citizens, and that one should never ride in or drive a car.

> The ruling [...] is part of a defamation lawsuit brought [...] by Australia’s Dylan Voller. Shocking photographs of Voller being restrained at a youth detention center went viral in 2016 and led to an inquest into the conditions at such centers.
Honestly, that was mostly our government being incompetent. If our PM wasn't bumbling from one disaster to another, he probably would have tried to implement something similar to what Australia has proposed.

Kind of gimmicky though, no? And I don't necessarily mean that in a bad way. Just that CGI/practical effects would almost certainly achieve the same end result and be a couple orders of magnitude cheaper (or five OOM...).
What I don't understand about those, is like... you can basically just make the "minimum payment" for 12 months straight? So if you spend 15k in that timeframe, you basically free up 15k in capital that can be invested? It's like a 0% loan.

Coinbase's Lend program actually would be subject to other existing regulatory regimes. For example, the lending of SEC-regulated securities like stocks is not regulated by the SEC, it is regulated by FINRA. The Coinbase CEO notified the SEC, as they would be expected to as a SEC-regulated brokerage and publicly traded company, but their expectation was that the accounts would regulated by another entity, presumably the FDIC or FINRA.

The whole situation smells of a turf war between regulatory agencies, which is entirely in character for the SEC. They've been doing the same shit for years with the CFTC. You're no longer allowed to trade forex using the same account that you trade stocks with...not because the SEC regulates forex, but because they want to regulate forex, and are trying to strongarm the CFTC into ceding it's jurisdiction by crippling the forex market. This is plainly another turf war play, trying to grab territory that is far more cleanly regulated by FINRA.
