Those other outlets didn't put "incel" in the headline though. It would have been one thing if NPR put it in quotes but they didn't - the way it's written, it sounds like they themselves are identifying the individual as an "incel" which is just as strange as if they were to identify a prostitute in a headline as a "slut". It sounds incredibly biased to use that sort of language and, at the very least, comes off as out-of-place slang.
> And this is why it’s important for such legislation to apply to all citizens and permanent residents of the legislating juridiction, regardless of where they’re physically or network-topologically located.

With Westphalian sovereigns (or gangs of such working together, like the EU), that’s possible in principle, because such entities can claim jurisdiction over anything anywhere; their sovereignty is unlimited, though their practical ability to enforce their laws may be more circumscribed.

For US states, however – “sovereign” though they may be – they cannot assert jurisdiction over commerce just because one of their citizens is involved, regardless of where they are physically located and where the other party is.
Last I heard, they actually have so much excess power that they're selling it to the UK.
I personally don't, many people do though. I used them because Facebook and Twitter could be easily summed up as "crud app"
> It probably could be fine for public user data that you want to spread out and be somewhat resistant to censor from governments.

Can you give an example? “spread out and be somewhat resistant to censorship from governments” is just a description of blockchain's strengths¹.

> why do you talk about it if it isn't relevant?

If I didn't mention it, I'd be lying by omission. In order for this discussion to make sense, I have to make the implicit assumption that blockchain is good for anything. I have never, in my life, encountered a situation where blockchain is better than alternatives. Heck, I'm half-convinced that Bitcoin would've been better off with a block-graph (like Git); it models the dependencies better, and means attempted double-spend attacks have a lower impact on the rest of the ledger. (51% attacks would be a little easier, but only for very recent transactions, assuming even distribution of wealth² and a free market economy³.)

¹: though it isn't particularly good at either of those things in practice

²: this is a bad assumption, but it would only affect wealth hoarders so I don't care

³: this is a really bad assumption, but it wouldn't take much improvement to the world to make it a sufficiently reasonable assumption
"Investigators" is one of those utterly ambiguous yet powerfully dominating terms, like "Authorities" and "Scientists".

We build our epistemological hierarchies like it's 2000 BC. (Heck, like 2Billion BC, if you think of knowledge as a kind of termite-mound. Memes are the new pheromones). Fancy cellphones make no diff.

Bricks are used a lot in earthquake zones in Europe, e.g. Italy (earthquake-rated bricks anyway, not common London bricks etc). I think the timber frame construction is more of a cultural thing than an earthquake protection thing.

Putting aside the very first paragraph ("What they meant is wrong"), this post makes some sound points.

It is also the case that the alleged new evidence for Poste being the killer is, in fact, circumstantial with respect to the issue of who committed the murders in question.

So, returning to that first paragraph, to establish whether what mauze meant is wrong, we must establish both that mauze meant something other than what was written, and that the intended meaning was wrong.

I do not see any conclusive evidence as to what mause meant. Furthermore, bena's reply to mause suggests that the intended meaning was 'weak'. That strikes me as plausible, but as far as I can tell, it would not be an obviously wrong characterization of the new evidence.
The Notion blog has had some quality posts, but it seems to be missing an RSS feed.

You can subscribe via email (no thanks), and I realize there are some good ways to turn an email subscription into a feed (Feedbin.com handles this nicely). Still, I thought some public shaming here might encourage the to build this basic blog feature (that would help people follow their company!).
CF does have a lot of quirks (especially stacks locking up for various reasons, or rollbacks taking hours).

I find it easiest to run migrations when an application is first starting up (with an appropriate transaction lock so other instances won't cause the migration to run more than once), this way you don't have to do a lot of devops magic for it to work.
Agree. CF is not a magic bullet, but neither is ansible or terraform.

We used ansible heavily with AWS for 2 years. Then we decided to gut it out and do CF directly. Why? If we want to switch clouds, it's not like the ansible or terraform modules are transferable ... So might as well go the native supported route.

I agree with the article, messages can be cryptic, but at the end of the day, I have a CF stack that represents an entity. I can blow away the stack, and if there's any failure or issue, I can escalate my permissions and kill it again. Still a problem? Then it's AWS's fault and a ticket away (though I've only had to do this once in 5 years and > 150,000 CF stacks.

I also would argue, if a stack deletion stalls development, you are probably using hard-coded stack names, which isn't wise. Throw in a "random" value like a commit or pipeline identifier.

I've had far less issues with CF than terraform or ansible. I have yet to see CF break backward compatibility, while I had a nightmare day when I couldn't run any playbooks in ansible because the module had a new required parameter on a minor or patch version bump.l (which was when I called it quits on ansible, I then relooked at terraform, and decided to go native)

I will caveat that our use case for AWS involves LOTS of creation and deletion, so I find it super helpful to manage my infrastructure in "stacks" that are created and deleted as a unit.. I dont need to worry about partial creations or deletions.. like ever... It basically never fails redoing known-working stuff... Only "first time" and usually because we follow least-privilege heavily
Clickbait title and manufactured outrage.

The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission required Enbridge to pay for additional police presence as a condition of granting permits. These payments are managed by an independent third party.

Enbridge informs the police when people are suspected or observed breaking the law. Some of those people are indeed breaking the law and arrested.
Caltech’s Leo Flying Biped Can Skateboard and Slackline
It doesn't matter at all if one person's hashed password is identical across two of that person's accounts on two different websites. The identical hash will instantly let an attacker (with access to both hashes) know that this person shares the same password across two accounts. But that is of no value; the attacker is going to start by assuming that it's true anyway.

Salts are there to ensure that two accounts on the same website which have identical passwords nevertheless have different password hashes.
Right? "Its just a simple brute force problem", but sometimes that still takes a lot of force. Sometimes far more force than breaking a single account password.

I managed to lock myself out of a dogecoin wallet. I have the hash of the passphrase, so I figured I'd give it a go cracking it. After a few weeks (and a larger than usual power bill) I sent it to some friends with good mining rigs to try and take a stab at it, willing to split the amount 50/50. Its only the passphrase, not the full wallet, so I'm not worried about someone stealing the doge.

The passphrase is probably 15-25 characters, mostly not dictionary words or simple letter/number/symbol substitution, only symbols easy to type on a US keyboard. I'm now about 6 months trying to crack that password with probably a few hundred dollars of electricity used overall between myself and friends (I don't know their power bill), excluding hardware cost as it was already owned, and I'm not even halfway through the search space.

Can it be done? Sure. Will I be able to crack that password with a cost that's less than the value of the DOGE in the wallet? Probably not. Right now its really more of a gamble that I'll get lucky with the rigs running. I had to tone down some of my rigs as it was getting quite hot over the summer, but over the winter I'll be chugging away as the waste heat is just additional home heat. I'll probably need to rent a considerable amount of GPU power on a cloud provider to crack it, at which point maybe it'll take me days to crack it but ultimately cost me many, many thousands of dollars in GPU-time.
My favorite theme of the referenced book is that the best way to get people to like you is to act like you care about them, and the best way to act like you care about them is to actually care about them. Tactics are worth knowing, but nothing replaces authenticity.

Were these run on CPUs or GPUs? How many of them?
Last I looked at running Tensorflow models on CPUs it was really slow, so slow we had to abandon it.
> Else spouse will pay for it again

It doesn't quite work like that. When someone in your family goes to hit the purchase button, it pops up a window saying that someone else has already purchased it. I'm not sure why you have to hit the button first, maybe for some measure of privacy from your family members?
I know the one in bash is fake but I'm saying that /dev/tcp and /dev/udp could be filesystems like /dev or /proc

Open /dev/tcp/google.com/80 or /dev/tcp/192.168.1.1/22 or whatever.

Instead of having your web server start as root and then do some UID switching to drop priveleges why not have it start as a non priveleged user from the beginning?

The ports under 1024 are reserved for root but how about we get rid of that and have files for every port number? Then use chown and chmod to set permissions and only let the httpd user account read and write to port 80?
I think it's one of those cases where using metaphors doesn't help clarify the thought, and instead obscure it. Rust shares a lot with OCaml, and so with F#. F# is "the" functional programming language of the .NET world, but it's also because it's the only one, and it's a second class citizen.

I will also add that Rust is not trying to be C (and neither trying to "replace C"). It's here to offer an alternative, that in some cases makes more sense than sticking with C. C code means a lot of thing. For example, some people code in C89 because they find some kind of purity in it. You're never going to get that from Rust. For some people, it means fast and secure code, like with Python's cryptography. That's a place where Rust can be used. For some other people, it's C because that's the only thing that's allowed by some authority. Again, Rust isn't going to fit here until/if it's allowed. I think in general, trying to reason in terms of use case leads to better comprehension than trying to think in languages.

But outside of that, the move was basically the same. They found another language that's very similar, but that has a way bigger ecosystem.
The police are off duty, and it doesn't have to be them, they just are available, trained, and willing.

A Guide to Bamboo Scaffolding: What It is, Usage, Strength & More (2020)
I think the hypocrisy isn't as much as you might think. Think of it like this: Facebook is like Walmart, Reddit is like a shopping mall. Malls and Walmarts have plenty of garbage products alike, but at Walmart you HAVE to walk past garbage to get to the thing you want, whereas at a mall you can just beeline straight to the one store you want to go to.

I can't avoid things I don't want to see in facebook unless I have zero friends and only subscribe to community topics (eventually a friend will post a link or opinion on a topic I don't want to see in social media), but if I literally only care about pictures of bees, I can just exclusively follow the pictures of bees subreddit.
The rollback functionality of CF is a blessing. We use both CF and Terraform at my company and i vividly recall multiple times where my connection had cut out during "terraform apply" and left the Terraform infrastructure in a half-finished state.
The problem is not that nobody wants to create or use such an API, the problem is that so much infrastructure and tooling is built up around the S3 API that to forgo it would be to leave your customers high and dry when it comes to integrating.

I think it was the creator of Java that said something to the effect of "There are languages people hate, and languages people don't use", which I think is very applicable here!
yep, its telling that most of the comments are rushing to make excuses as to why what the article says might not be true.

Man, I wish I would have known about this a few weeks ago when I was working on repairing a water damaged controller board from an electric smoker. Fortunately, the damaged components were not the mysterious SOT-23 devices labeled only "S3", but just a couple shorted-out diodes. Without this page, it would have been quite frustrating trying to source a new "S3" were it blown out, as I wouldn't have been able to measure polarity or hFE to narrow down a short list of candidates.

Consider a gated community built very close to sea, where the houses are exposed to salty moisture all year long.

Moreover the area is rocky, and is a very active earthquake area, so that a double wall sub basement/foundation is required.

On top of that, the gated community is built by a company which is building dams regularly, so they're knowledgeable in specialty concrete mixes for both quake and moisture resistance.

Something funny (well, kind of sad) about CloudFormation I noticed this summer was that if you deploy a CloudFormation stack which updates a ECS service and deploys tasks which then fail health checks, CloudFormation will do nothing about this and just let ECS keep killing and restarting tasks for.. well, at least several hours. You have to know to go into ECS and drain the tasks manually and then initiate a rollback from CF to get your service back into a good state. The bug reports about this I found were going back years.

The upside is that I got really well acquainted with how ECS worked.
You are making the assumption that development estimates have anything to do with when management, sales, or customers decide that they need something.

Even without mgt/sales over-promising stuff to customers based on wishful thinking and only wanting to say "Yes" to a stupid customer demand without even bothering to ask development/engineering, I've seen situations where the date is the date, period.

I've been in plenty of situations where it doesn't matter - it's an event, scheduled years in advance, national television, and the show goes on at Monday 16:00 PDT, period. Scheduling estimates have nothing to do with it. Be ready and be there, or everyone gets nothing. The only question is: "Can the team do it?".
That’s simply not true. My spouse and I buy apps all the time from the App Store and when you try to pay for it, it pops up a message that a family member already has and proceeds to the download.
Writing Terraform scripts for AWS is 70% of my job. I do have some issues with the AWS provider in Terraform. Firstly, there are bugs. I ran into a bug a few days ago where the ARN attribute on a Lamba alias was resolving to the ARN of the Lambda, not it’s alias. I only figured it out because I found a GitHub Issue. Additionally, Hashicorp is often playing catch-up with Amazon. A few days ago AWS released a new instruction set architecture for Lambdas that would save my org a lot of money. However after I saw the announcement in AWS I see tons of different GitHub issues created to add this functionality. So I start editing my files based off the documentation only for that issue to be closed and pointed to a new one with different syntax. So I start working off the new syntax only for that issue to close and be pointed to a different one

I wouldn't say I was arguing, just ranting about my desires like most people here. And "again" implies that I've replied to you before, but that was my first reply to your comment. Perhaps you were confusing me with hsbauauvhabzb.

I don't care about facebook, but can we stop using the word 'algorithm' to describe a machine learning model? An algorithm is a sequence of steps with logic that you can translate into a programming language. An algorithm is deduced by considering performance requirements and an explicit problem to solve. A Machine learning model is a set of weights for an equation trained using empirical data and providing a fuzzy answer.
Rollback doesn't always work with CF. I've noticed so many times that it would mostly delete everything but not certain things once in a while. Then you're left having to play detective to manually figure out what you need to delete while having to delete dependencies by hand in a specific order.

I've spent hours just waiting for CF to fail deleting EKS or RDS related resources then I end up getting billed for $30+ a month sometimes because I forgot to manually delete a NAT gateway.
To take your argument even further:

It is good to have more than one type of salesperson. Some customers like/respond to one approach and some don't. Having a cognitively diverse salesforce should make your sales unit stronger and more flexible.

Gotta start somewhere. After all, Norway switching to all-electric cars also won't make a significant reduction in worldwide CO2.

Sure, other wells will produce more. But at a higher price. Higher prices encourage use of greener alternatives.
> Norway has a sovereign wealth fund (valuation: 1.4T in USD) that is setup specifically for this eventuality.

That's not much - $25K per person over 10 years, and with an average income of $70K per person, and something like half of their economy is energy (most if not all social programs are funded from energy production).

If oil were to stop tomorrow, they'd have around 10 years before the money runs out. (Maybe a bit longer since kids don't earn money.) And if they have to replace all the social funding, they'd have even less time.

Norway is relying on slow reduction in demand, and time to transition their economy. Will they have it? It's far from certain. I feel like Norwegians rely too much on this fund to save themselves, rather than transitioning away from oil now.
Bravo! You get a star.

I wouldn't say this is unique to Andrew Yang and his campaign. I had a ex-coworker travel from California to Texas to work on Beto's campaign in 2018 and when she came back, she had the same stories of minimum wage/volunteer workers being treated with abuse and that abuse and misconducts ignored. The campaign eventually did get around to making things right, but it was too late and she had already left Texas.

Memorable quote was:
Mistreatment of campaign staff is common (I think for similar reasons as artists and video game programmers often get abused? the short-term pressure and passion project nature encourage exploitation)

To be honest you don't need to have big indepth discussions on your finances, but you should always regularly check in with your spouse (and kids) as to your monthly budget.

Even something as simple as 15 minutes once a month, where you go over the previous months income and expenses and see if there are any differences from the budget, and you make a new budget for the next month is more than enough.

It creates a space to ask questions, and keeps everyone up to date on where they stand, so you won't suddenly learn that your spouse has been maxing out their credit cards to buy FUNKO-POP! Figurines over the past 2 years.
