In fact, a school I took my most recent SAT at did indeed have some sort of cell blocker. But they had in-school wifi, so I'm not quite sure what the reasoning is. (Apps like Snapchat and Spotify and Netflix are blocked, but Instagram and TikTok are not, so the firewall's not super well-made)

Thanks, I didn't know about this. It's blocked by my ad blocker but I just whitelisted it.

I stopped using Hangouts a long time ago because every link that was sent was wrapped in a redirect through Google. Sometimes that tracking service would be slow and I'd have to copy the links manually. Really infuriating.

Anyways, there is a big difference here. If I copy a link from Google I get [1] and if I copy a link from DDG I get [2].

Misinformation Is About to Get So Much Worse
I was torn on this one. I do agree with you, in that, if we can't trust them on stuff that was obvious in June of 2017, how can we trust the "facts" we can't check? However, this is at least an interesting hypothesis. The particulars are probably wrong, but all sorts of different parties might try "campaigns" like this for all sorts of different reasons. (Although GOP might not be my first suspect for dastardly clever schemes...)

The most likely possibility seems that we have algorithms fooling algorithms with no humans in the loop. Sure, there might not be enough "real" (i.e. a real human purchasing a real product) revenue sloshing around here to make the whole effort worthwhile. However, there might be a poorly configured dashboard somewhere that makes it appear as if that's the case... Meanwhile FB laughs all the way to the bank.
I don't think it's a big mystery. Bandwidth and ad revenue scale together. Sometimes the image will be embedded, hot linked or the request is otherwise not monetizable, but you can assume that those are a fixed fraction. Every image clicked on otherwise will generate some ad revenue which is multiples of the bandwidth cost of serving it.
There's also "Don't Track Me Google": https://github.com/Rob--W/dont-track-me-google which seems to work pretty well, including on Firefox for Android.
Reversing transactions is massive problem in finance in general. It causes losses for merchants in both physical shops and online sellers because there's no objective measure of whether a transaction was a mistake or not so it's begging to be abused for fraud. Even if a court decides, somebody still loses when both parties had different expectations. People have overpaid wages or social welfare payments taken back from them after they already assumed it was correct and spent it, and are now in a big debt. People accidentally sign contracts that require them to pay more than they expected. There's fraud where people buy an item online, then claim they never received it and get their payment refunded while keeping the item.

Here's an example of traditional finance screwing someone over for making an obvious mistake. Where's this ability to reverse transactions when you need it? https://www.livemint.com/opinion/online-views/a-fascinating-...

You're assuming there's some benevolent God who can arbitrate who's right and who's wrong. In reality, people get screwed by bad payment reversal decisions all the time and there's no objective way to decide in every case.

Bitfinex/Tether is probably the single richest entity in crypto. A $1.4B loss would not be close to "company-ending" for them.
Hard to say if this satirical or not ("Etherium") but will respond in good faith.
1. Same argument can be used in the opposite way, you can verify the counter party will act as expect, there is no need for costly litigation as backstop.
2. An engineer reviewing a contract once will not be more expensive than hiring a full time banker to review each transaction or a lawyer to pursue a legal battle.
3. Decentralization and regulation are not mutually exclusive.
Nice catch :) pushed an update.
This is meaningless.

Even if we assume that all Huawei products are currently backdoored, the security of commercial IT products is so bad that they pose no impediment to any organization more talented than a group of script kiddies. A complete replacement of all Huawei equipment does not in any way materially improve security of the network against a competent nation state attacker. At most it might cause their operational budget to increase by 0.1% to fund exploit development of the replacement equipment on the off chance that they are utterly incompetent and do not already have a hoard of hundreds of exploits in all existing systems like the CIA did as revealed in the Vault 7 hack.

A material increase in security would require switching from Huawei to systems around 1000x better than prevailing systems otherwise you should have exactly zero trust that the security of the network can even minimally impede an adversary like China.
Damn, I'm getting scared of crypto now. Will took some of my money lol
My position for ages now has been that it was a mistake to make floating point types first-class primitives in most programming languages. Integers and rationals should be the go-to types for most code most of the time. If you really need a IEEE float, you should reach into a library to get it.

I agree that sequestering co2 gas is a losing game, and that's why I think all the fossil fuel companies' plans for CCS are pure bunk.

Climeworks' proposal to pump it into basalt caverns, where it chemically reacts and becomes solid, is one way around that.

Carbon Engineering is doing gas to liquids, and claims that they need ~2.25 kWh of electricity to convert atmospheric CO2 to 1 kWh worth of liquid hydrocarbons. We will see.

We will need gigatons/year of sequestration in 2050. It's going to require a ton of innovation to get there.
The analysis in the paper shows that once a drug goes off-patent its chance of being repurposed approaches 0%.

There is repurposing of on-patent drugs while a monopoly profit can be enforced. That's not the point. The point is that information about which off-patent drugs work in new indications is the definition of a non-excludable and non-rivalrous public good. There is no way to enforce a monopoly profit if people can take the generic drug off-label or have it compounded in a pharmacy. Therefore, there is a tragedy of the commons preventing private investment to unlock this generic drug repurposing innovation (unless someone can come up with a new patented formulation that will not be subject to off-label competition, which is not always possible).

A pay for success contract is a solution to this problem. You can also enforce differential pricing for repurposed generic drugs while preventing off-label competition using e-medical records, but this is also another kind of pay for success mechanism (like an advance market commitment or the agreement to pay a minimum order of the Covid vaccines under Operation Warp Speed). However, it might not be politically and commercially feasible to prevent off-label use, especially for generics which are widely prescribed for other off-patent indications.

> Well, 100BASE-TX will also run on single pair in half-duplex mode.

I mean, kind of, but I don't know how you get network cards to run on a single pair? I'm actually interested, because if it works for 100BaseTx, it probably also works for 10BaseT, and I've got 10BaseT half duplex device I'd like to network, but only one pair available (there's a 3-pair cable run, but two are used for voice communication). I've tried a commercial product (ETSLAN Monoline Balun), but while I can get it to work a bit when testing on parts of the line, it doesn't work across the whole line; if I can just wire something more simple, that'd be worth a try too.
Funny, retros are the one thing I like. If you can get a team to honestly say what went well and what went bad, and the step that can be taken to improve, every two weeks, with some light follow up. In 6 - 12 months, you can turn a flaming wreck of a project into something that resembles best practice.

I have do it as a consultant. I have taken a project on life support that they were gonna cancel, regardless of our performance, and resurrected it so hard they actually decided to keep it. We changed their minds

The most effective tool was retros. I dislike agile in all other aspects, and do not use story points. Retros are the best bit! It's the core part of the learning loop.

I learnt retros from Google. Big tech does retros. Its honestly magic when done well.
> Unless you are directly targeted, no one is going to pick their way in to your things.

Beyond that, unless the adversary has something significant to gain by picking (e.g. no visible evidence entry was made, stealth, etc.). Otherwise it's time to pull out the FDNY forcible entry guide and go to work.

100%. I keep harping on the point that "smart contract" is such a bad name for these things. A real-life contract is not the execution of the task(s) itself, it's the legal recording and reinforcement of the promise(s) made by the parties if/when things go wrong.

Smart executor does sound pretty grimy though :)
As in most things with particle physics, it's a combination of both. Theory predicts a wide band and then experimentalists come in with the best estimate they can make. Some theories are excluded and other are refined. There are another round of predictions and when the experiments get powerful enough, they can challenge or support some predictions.

Some of the best data for branching ratios comes from e+e- (electon-positron) colliders such as LEP (literally, the Large Electron-Positron collider). In these colliders, we can fine-tune the energy to produce massive amounts of particles we care about. From that, we can see how they decay. Mostly, Upsilons decay into massive sprays of hadrons and leptons (called jets in particle physics). These can come from decaying Tau particles (the much much heavier cousins of muons and electons) or from quarks/hadrons decaying over and over and over again into things like Kaons, pions, muons, electrons, photons, and other lightish particles. In the relatively clean environment of a e+e- collider, we can reconstruct these jets and determine which may have come from Upsilons. Combining this with a whole bunch of other measurements (and some theory) lets us determine the branching ratio (how often a particle decays into certain things).
People who are myopically obsessed with how the pandemic is being handled in their immediate vicinity, without knowing what it looks like in other parts of the world, I'm guessing.

Throughout most of Europe, you would be viewed as an extreme child-abusing weirdo if you suggest masking toddlers or small children is a good thing.
I am fine with jargon to suit a purpose. You'd have to explain "compiler" or "linker" with a mouthful, and you are unlikely to be very successful (unless you go to those mathematical models of computers).

My (limited) experience with social sciences (as obligatory courses in Math/CS studies) was that you'd have things like "Someone's Continuum" (I am, thankfully, at a loss for the name of Someone :)) to say that two extremes of learning are rote learning and learning with understanding (this, by virtue of what "two extremes" mean in a natural language, means that there are things in between), all explained in 3-4 pages of dense prose that says, literally, nothing else. There is no precision gained from introduction of these terms for the most part, mostly the number of things to memorize is increased.

To contradict that, a "continuum" in mathematics is given a very precise meaning to indicate that no matter how small your "in between", you can still find something there: you get very particular properties and can easily differentiate if something is a continuum or not. You also build up other tools to work on things which are "continuous", like derivatives, differentials or integrals.

Some of the language of DDD is quite like it, which probably makes sense, since it's more closely related to social sciences (not rigorous science), rather than formal sciences. That's not to slight it, because that's the best we can do with some things, but that means that in any particular setting, you should understand what you are trying to get out of it, and if you are struggling with language, move on to the point of the exercise instead (eg. establishing domains, boundaries and shared language as it relates to your problem).
I want to see more boring afforestation rather than meaninglessly expensive space technology. Aquaponics already exists and it will never be cheap enough for carbohydrates to compete with regular farmland.

Building a "food factory" the size of a regular farm is obviously more expensive than running a tractor and combine over a field.

It would allow Google or other companies to track which result the user clicked without resorting to more complex JavaScript tracking or redirects.

I bet anyone would prefer the ping method rather than the redirects we see on Firefox that mangle copied urls.

You seem to be of the opinion that no tracking would be better. And that's fine and a popular opinion around here. But that's not an option as Google relies heavily on the clicks as an input for ranking.

So in a context where you consider tracking HAS to happen ping does offer advantages for the user.
I don't know what you're talking about with "allegedly".

Bloomberg "allegedly" found HW backdoors in huawei, Vodafone also "allegedly" found backdoors in their equipment from huawei back in the day(i think about a decade ago).

When you go talk to your red-team pentester friends, you quickly find out that the black market is full of 0days or full-blown backdoors for huawei equipment, from routers to consumer-grade mobile phones.They're not the only ones, but there's a clear discrepancy.

While in the consumer space Huawei might not be ever fully-banned (imo even though they should, because people are f*cking stupid and it's already too late), in gov & military(especially NATO) infrastructure, i'm guaranteeing they're already(US,AUS,JP,PL,RO) or soon to be banned.

Now the what-about argument is gonna follow here, saying "how about western companies that also engage in privacy-violating and espionage policies?".Yes that's also obviously true, but to a much lesser degree, and those companies/corporations main concern is money&profit,unlike Huawei.They might collude with governments and institutions, but they're not fully controlled by one, like in the fascistic China at the moment.And i say fascistic because chinese companies conveniently use 'free'-markets inside China and Western countries up to the point where their gov. notices and dictates their every move.
> It is unlikely that an American nuclear strike would have wiped out the entire population of the Soviet Union; one would expect a targeted strike on critical government and army facilities, or something like what happened against the Japanese.

USSR lion share of the population is/was in Moscow and St. Petersburg. A decapitation strike would have killed many in those 2 cities for sure. Add the fires, the confusion, the famine and the fact that you must followup with an invasion because nukes radiations dissipate fast and other countries around would see it as a huge opportunity to expand. It's easy to imagine the countries of the Marshall plan abandon said plan and saying "screw it! We'll get the eastward land instead"

100M is not far fetched.

> The rest of the world didn't conquer and subjugate all of Eastern Europe, then steal from them and kidnap people in large numbers.

The US is magnanimous . Meaning like some guy who got out of the hood and lets it slide when somebody dents his Ferrari. Had that person missed on a lucky break and still be in the hood, his reaction would be very different and much more violent , and it doesn't even need to be a Ferrari, just a light fender bender on a Civic will cause trouble.

The US is magnanimous because of its standards of living , not the other way around.

A better (more apt) Matt Levine quote might've been about the recent story of a Softbank exec taking his shoes off and resting his feet on the lap of some speechless Fifa exec on a private plane.

(I think it was repeated the next day or so in column on Monzo founder's similar anecdote about the same exec's toenail-picking, if you want to find it.)

I remember when ImageShack was the best of all the bad options. TinyPic and PhotoBucket were super slow, and I remember popular forums back then either didn’t support image uploads, or they were even slower to load than external hosts. So much internet history has been lost to “this image has exceeded its bandwidth limit” placeholders from PhotoBucket and TinyPic.

Imgur really did change everything.

"replace with a secondary source, rather than the primary source."

It's fine you share this but you're acting like you're doing people a favor by removing them one step from the actual data.
I don't know exactly how ETH works, but it seems like with bitcoin there could be a risk like this:

You send your huge-fee transaction secretly to your co-conspirator miner. They start trying to include it in their blocks, and eventually get one (call this block X). But now your transaction is not a secret anymore, and so another large miner can decide to keep trying to mine off of block X-1, but including your transaction. If they can outpace your miner (maybe by spinning up extra compute), they will produce a longer chain in which the $23M goes to them instead of your intended recipient.

It seems like a very large mining fee would change the incentives that are supposed to keep miners all working on the same chain.

I would be surprised if the distribution cost of petrol was more than 2% of the pump price. Quick googling gives numbers of around 2p/litre, around 5 years ago. That's total distribution costs, not just driver pay.

This suggests that doubling the pay of the truck drivers would make a much less than 2% increase in pump prices.

Also these equipments have been produced in China for decades, even western branded ones, and there is still no proof that they pose any security risk. As opposed to USA companies well documented to spy USA allies, and their own population, for government agencies
This is, of course, pure politics with no meat or foundation in reality. If they are exchanged with equipment like Cisco or other US made (well, designed) products it is a big step backwards. Not only do they have a much worse proven track-record (especially Cisco) but no US manufacture (and really no EU either that I have heard of) can match Huawei in getting your own custom stuff pushed through to release. I have never heard someone from the industry acknowledge anyone beating Huawei in R&D and time to deliver custom requests to code or hardware. They are light-years ahead of most other manufactures in those areas IMO and if they were a US company everyone would praise them (they still do but not too loudly). They are like Ubiquiti - before they started to suck.
This accident actually proves the exact contrary. Despite these obvious flaws, people are still using DeFi.

There must be something of value in there that you're missing. And it's not speculation, as there are way better ways to speculate in crypto than by using DeFi (shittokens, NFTs, ...).
The idea that the code maintainers get to decide which transactions are valid or not is insane. Almost as insane as saying an 'easy' fix is to arbitrarily fork the chain undermining it's whole purpose.
