Exactly, and I'd be fine with that.
I don't see anything here about productizing the research they're doing. Nor is there any indication of how it actually works (on-device or other). There's also a lot of words about medical data and monitoring children, but it would seem wild to me that Apple somehow gets classified as a healthcare provider based on their current offering.

It would seem that the technology mentioned looks at videos and makes a determination based on that. Does analyzing a video make it medical data? What about the other "medical data" that Apple has? Besides complying with COPPA, what data do they have that's not explicitly opted into?

I simply can't see past the alarmist rhetoric of this post. Especially when the cookie banner doesn't give an option to opt-out, with the option "Ahh, that's alright". Only a little ironic.

Ask HN: Are the environmental concerns around Bitcoin serious?
HackerNews is the first place I’ve heard about this, every time Bitcoin is mentioned someone will say it uses as much energy as 1/10th of the world’s concrete production and therefore it is destroying the environment.

I’ve only ever seen this view on HackerNews and some parts of Twitter.

It’s interesting to me because Bitcoin seems very much like a “hacker” topic that HN would generally like. So how and why did opinions change? Every time Bitcoin is mentioned, every reply is someone very angrily posting about environmental concerns.
Collections: No Man’s Land, Part II: Breaking the Stalemate
Having worked in at a large tech company with a big bug bounty program and seeing tonnes of bugs come through, my experience is that usually there is a wide disconnect between the bug bounty program (situated in one org of the company) and the engineering group responsible for fixing the bug (which is in a different part of the company.) This is exacerbated by misaligned incentives, bug bounty team wants fixes ASAP while PMs/TPMs dont care about security and want engineers to be busy on feature development vs fixing bugs. On top of that if the leader of that org comes from a non-tech background then its even harder to convince them to prioritize security. Bug bounty teams are mostly powerless pawns in the politics between leaders of several different orgs with varying cultures of caring about security.

This is roughly how I have seen things work internally:

* When a bug report comes in, the bug bounty triage team tries their best to triage the bug and if legit, passes it on to the infosec team situated within the organization where the bug belongs.

* Security team for the org then scrambles to figure out which exact team the bug belongs to assigns it to them.

* A day or two later that team picks up the bug and there is usual back forth on ownership, "oh, this is that part which this another team wrote and no one from that time now works at the company" or "its not us, its another team, please reassign."

* Even when the right team is assigned to the bug, there are discussions about priority and severity - "oh we dont think its a high sev issue" types of discussions with PMs who have no knowledge about security.

* Even when everything gets aligned, sometimes the fix is so complicated that it cant be fixed within SLA. In the meantime, security researchers threaten to go public, throws tantrums on Twitter while Bug bounty chases internal teams for a fix.

* When the bug cannot be fixed within SLA, the engineering folks file for an exception. This then gets escalated to a senior leader who needs to approve an exception with agreement from a leader within security. This takes a couple of days to weeks and in the meantime, security researcher has now completely lost it because they think no one is paying attention to this crazy oh so critical bug they spent day and night working on.

* When exception is granted, bug bounty swallows the pill and tries to make up excuses on why it cant be fixed soon. Eventually, 90days are over and researcher feels disrespected and establishes animosity and starts to think everyone on the other side a complete idiot.

* A blog shows up on HN and gets picked up by infosec twitter and slowly media catches up. Now, internally everyone scrambles to figure out what to do. Bug bounty team says "we told you so" and engineering team figures out a magical quick band-aid solution that stops the bleeding and partially fixes the bug.
Does OLED really give better images compared to a good LCD?

I bought a Sony Xperia 5 II - thinking the OLED would give me a better picture - and it objectively looks much much worse than my much older LCD based Xiaomi 5 Note Pro (the camera is also amazingly worse)

I then went to the electronics mall nearby, and I noticed that the OLED laptops (from Asus) will have a much less vibrant image than a something like a Macbook or Huawei

I dunno if this is just a personal-preference/psychosomatic, or if there is really something to what I've observed. Would be curious if anyone has more info
No, Lustre shipped on ext4 for years and years. Not an expert, but IIRC there aren't any core/major/whatever features in ZFS being leveraged in an irreplaceable way.

Again, ZFS works fine, it's there (so is btrfs). Use it if it does something you like. It's just not really "worth" the level of complexity involved, and the window has long since closed for fancy filesystems to change any major paradigms of computation. This is dinosaur technology, basically.
What's the current density on the electrolyzers? Does the low concentration of CO2 impact it? What kind of air contactor do you plan to use?

I'm a big fan of what you are doing. If I weren't already working on fusion energy, this would be the technology I'd most like to work on. People forget that decarbonizing electricity is only 1/3 or 1/2 of the energy/fossil fuels problem. We need to find a way to turn massive amounts of renewable electricity into fuels and chemical feedstocks.
Wouldn't help much for a "camera review". The raw would just be a black-and-white mosaic that would look awful. What you want is the processed jpeg out of the iPhone along with the edited ProRAW. I'm not sure if the iPhone can do this but a lot of cameras can shoot in RAW+JPEG mode.
I think the core issue here is mainly that a giant match isn't the best way to express opcode tables, and jump tables are just a bit more idiomatic here as in other languages. I've also been working on an emulator for the gameboy in Rust (https://github.com/jawline/Mimic, I wanted to be able to draw gameboy games to the command line) and I think the use of a jump table made it a bunch simpler / easier to refactor (https://github.com/jawline/Mimic/blob/9463b658ebf006b2369d2b...).
I know it treads awfully close to the rule against being dismissive, but speaking as someone with enough college level biology to read and understand nutrition studies, along with observing how common self-deception is when it comes to food journaling, I've concluded that one can safely ignore any study that didn't use a metabolic ward. Here is an example[1] of a similar study run in a controlled environment.

> the insistence that cryptocurrency is a boon for all of humanity quickly collapses into the assertion that it will become one

This one annoys me in tech discussions all across the board. Someone justifies some piece of tech as good, others give counter evidence, and then the proponents say that it doesn't actually matter because it will be true some day. Social media is healthier than other media (well, it could be). Self driving cars are safer (well, they will be). Crypto is better for the people (well, it could be). Or my favorite, seen this morning in another thread: bitcoin isn't bad for the environment (well, it could be better, therefore it's fine).
Concurrency is more about having order independent units of computation. You can concurrently run operations on a single thread, although there is less benefit if no IO is involved. It's not something you'd likely do in practice unless there was IO.
That's the pre-2016 MBP life. Still very happy with mine from 2013. The new M1-based ones are probably going to be good again, just in time for an upgrade, but we'll see.
The US dollar has value because the most productive economy ever to exist demands that all taxes be paid using US dollars. The army is a small part of protecting and enforcing that monopoly.
> Note that those other "common cold" coronaviruses can still be quite deadly to immunocompromised or frail elderly patients. The only reason they aren't killing people on the same scale as COVID-19 is that most of us get infected as youths and build up some natural immunity that protects us as we age.

Correct, IIRC the 4 circulating coronaviruses cause just 20% of respiratory infections, but 70% of deaths. The severe illness and death is almost all in the elderly and compromised.

My dad used to make this argument: of all the millions of footprints that humans made, after arriving in North America, what is the likelihood that we found the very first of those footprints?

The point is, whatever evidence we find, it's unreasonable to think that evidence we've found is the first evidence that existed, so we have to assume the real arrival was a bit before that. When we had evidence of humans arriving 17,000 years ago, it was reasonable to assume humans really arrived 21,000 years ago. When we have evidence of people arriving 23,000 years ago, you have to assume people really arrived 25,000 years ago.

There may come a point, centuries from now, when our evidence feels comprehensive, at which point the error estimate can shrink. But modern archeology is barely 100 years old and most subject areas are still under-studied, so error estimates need to remain large, for now, especially for the prehistoric era. (Obviously error estimates are much smaller for the historic era, where we have a relative abundance of evidence.)

Amazon took off well before the smartphone era. Bezos was Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 1999.

I don't understand what you mean re: debit cards. Is it that the transaction processing fee is passed on to the customer? That is already well understood. The issue is that crypto is nowhere near to matching VISA/MC's per-transaction cost.
Yeah, but unless you are blowing the VM away all the time (and maybe you are, but that takes a certain amount of effort, even if you try to automate it), you’re still going to have a fingerprint tied to that VM and browser(s). Will it be linked with your other devices? Maybe not, but depending on what accounts you are signed into (Google, Facebook, etc), there could still be a more robust profile associated with your various locations and devices, even if the fingerprints are different.

I think your conclusions are wrong even if I agree that bitcoin is overall bad for humanity.

Just because one crypto currency is like that doesn't mean there cannot be another decentralized crypto currency that is better.

It's funny to read this after just arriving home with my XPS 15 9500 suspended in my backpack. I got it last week and installed Manjaro right away, and everything worked very well out of the box.

The fans keep going on full throttle even with a relatively idle desktop. The cores were constantly reaching 100°C while initializing a heavy dev environment.

The laptop's physical design is attractive, but abysmal. The main ventilation hole is located under the hinges, facing behind the laptop. Opening the lid will completely block this airway with a vertical wall 4 mm away. The venting grill at the bottom is lifted only a millimeter away from the table. Lifting the laptop off the table makes the fans sound way louder while lowering down in pitch - I think this is a clear sign of restricted airflow.

You really shouldn't pack this much beefy hardware in a package almost as flat as a damn biscuit.
What's worse, typically an exploit doesn't involve knowledge of the actual line of code responsible -- it's just a vague description of behavior or actions that leads to an exploit, making it much easier to pass the buck in terms of who is actually responsible for fixing it. The kicker is if your department/project/whatever fixes it, you're also taking responsibility for causing this error / causing this huge affront to the Apple way...

What's the right way to do throttled async in modern C#? For some context, we have a process that needs to make an API call for each row in a file - maybe hundreds or thousands. What's the best way beyond Wait()'ing for each one to get decent performance without DOS'ing the server?
It sounds like you're talking about cases where, as I said, there's "earlier evidence of somebody else being the creator of the work". In the absence of that, I think the token would be a decent piece of evidence in favour of the token owner.

A very important caveat to the basically-true observation that some degree of energy expenditure compensation happens in a caloric deficit is that getting no physical activity appears to dysregulate appetite and make you far more likely to end up in a caloric surplus. See this review: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29289613/

> Energy intake along the spectrum of physical activity levels (inactive to highly active) appears to be J-shaped, with low levels of physical activity leading to dysregulated appetite and a mismatch between energy intake and expenditure. At higher levels, habitual physical activity influences homeostatic appetite control in a dual-process action by increasing the drive to eat through greater energy expenditure, but also by enhancing post-meal satiety, allowing energy intake to better match energy expenditure in response to hunger and satiety signals.

So, if you want to lose body fat, you probably shouldn't focus on getting hours and hours of cardio in (unless you enjoy it), but you really should be doing some amount of physical activity on most days.
Absolutely not. Read the profiles of those people, it's clear that they have an ideology that is anti-crypto and they're just reacting honestly. People can disagree with you without being literally paid to do it.
In a time of economic calamity, if you think your grocery store will take 'Coolbits', or their employees will take 'WokeCoin' as payment, or suppliers will accept 'TrumpGoldBucks' I think you'd be mistaken.

If there were a serious problem with the USD, first, because of it's seigneurage position in the world, it would imply a 'giant crisis'. It would be bad.

People would switch to other currencies like Euros, Pounds, Canadian / Australian Dollars and Swiss Franks, RMB and Yen because they are fungible and transactable.

Gold and other commodities would increase in value, but only as stores of value, they're not good for transactions.
Having had to experience the Canadian federal election this week and seeing a resulting parliament that has very little to do with what the people actually voted for, I yearn for Germany's system and it's kind of challenges.

Monday's election resulted in 5.9% of people being completely unrepresented in parliament and the now (again) governing Liberals representing 32.6% of the populace, even less than it's Conservative competitor [0]. Sure they need the NDP for a majority vote but it's nothing like the coalitions in a Government like Germany where parties come up with a formal coalition agreement.

Seeing how people's research leading up to the election consisted of figuring out how to vote strategically for the opposing party in their riding to be defeated, instead of comparing party platforms and deciding who they agree with instead, made me want to barf honestly. There is a significant chance that we'll just get called to another election a year or 18 months from now, for what, another $600m minor shuffle of seats [1]?

Free markets do not necessarily mean that everyone has equal access to information. We've got market regulations so that less sophisticated retail investors have a chance against the more sophisticated / secretive groups with more money / knowledge / power than us.

A laissez-faire market would encourage secrets as a means to protect ones own capital. To force some people to give up secrets (ie: regulations against insider trading) is itself, a regulation, that already moves us away from truly free markets.

Which is a good thing. I think a laissez-faire market is naive. There's benefits to free markets, but also downsides. We as a society should try to build systems where we get the benefits of free markets, but place regulations on the behaviors that cause societal harm.

These rules and regulations we as a society follow (and ideally enforce) have problems. But the way to fix things is to improve the rules so that they're fairer and more comprehensive. Maybe some rules are too hard to be enforced and should be tossed away (even if in a hypothetical perfect world, they'd be net-beneficial... if its too hard to implement or enforce, then there's no point in practice).

"Insider Trading among Congressmen" is more of the latter IMO. We all would like it if Congressmen played by the same rules we did. But in practice: how would we even write a law that hampers this behavior from Congressmen? Who will keep track of which stocks Congressmen are trading, and which committees they are a part of?

If we can't enforce the rule, then the rule doesn't exist (even if we write down the law into our code or even the Constitution, without enforcement, the law is meaningless)

Well, yes, I do. I expect X11 to be around for quite a while, possibly even longer than Wayland. Now if Wayland itself gains some of the features which keep me at X11 - network transparency (through nx/x2go) and compatibility with the kitchen sink being the most important - this might change but until such a time I will use X11, as will many others.
The central number here seems to be entirely anecdotal and very unbelievable.
In the US at least, laptops with LI-ion batteries are not supposed to be in the cargo hold.

I don't know whether the checked-luggage scanners catch this or what happens if they find a laptop in luggage.

The passenger isn't present during checked luggage scanning so it would be complicated to try to give the laptop to the passenger. The obvious alternatives look like theft and are extremely inconvenient. (Oh joy, I'm at my destination and my laptop isn't.)
