Because it's your job, and because the outcome of not stopping it is the rotting of your community, as we see here.

Why have that job if it's revealed it is actually less than security theater?

I sense I come off a bit hostile, but "not doing anything" results in what we now see. And if your job isn't to stop theft, then what is it? Perhaps a job with physical dangers should get paid more and have better health benefits, but to say "not my job" removes pay from the discussion.

Missouri Governor Vows to Prosecute St. Louis Post-Dispatch for Reporting
It's understood that opting to live in high-density areas means smaller living space in general. The urban/rural price disparity today is massive however and many could scarcely afford a room the size of a closet, but notwithstanding, whether this provides a "better quality" depends on what a person values. If you value what a detached home brings, that's what increases your quality of life. Having the choice matters.
Depth of field is a direct function of real-world focal length. An iPhone has camera systems with a focal length in the 1.4mm - 5mm range (the equivalent framing is not relevant to the impact on DoF). Most SLRs have lenses with focal lengths from 35mm - 100mm.

https://www.photopills.com/calculators/dof

(That site has different camera selections purely because the circle of confusion differs based upon the sensor size / resolution, so it's the relative values that you should pay attention to)

Take a gander at the DoF variations for a 4mm versus a 35mm FL system.

This is the reason why iPhones have to implement fake bokeh -- because the depth of field on tiny cameras is so much larger, even with a wide open aperture. But the inverse is that where you want a wide depth of field it is a feature of the size. It's also why people seem to be much more successful taking photos on smartphones, because the focus is much more forgiving.

A wide DoF is a function of those physics.

> 1. The bug lets you download contacts. Nothing else. As you've said, no one's going to pay six figures for a bug that lets you get someone's contacts from GameCenter. If this was even slightly more abstract and didn't specifically deal with just GameCenter, I could see it being valuable for companies that do phone-to-phone transfers, for example, because you could download someone's contacts from a locked device. This isn't that, though.

I, the evil overlord, would very much like to know who is ratting out my secret initiatives to those nosy journalists. Maybe some of them don't keep a good information hygiene and will download my simple but quite addictive game? At least I get to know some names and addresses.
I think this is backwards. How are you planning on “sticking to it” when you’re serving unpredictable user traffic? If requests are set appropriately everywhere then it won’t really starve batch as kernel would just scale everything to their respective cpu.shares when cpu is fully saturated. This would allow you to weather spiky load with minimum latency impact and minimize spend
There seem to be memetic inoculations (i.e. core beliefs that reproduction at a high rate is desirable) in some groups that prevent those wonders from being worked.

I also want to add, since this is more of a deep auto-industry thing, that NVH testing is almost like longitudinal health studies. NVH engineers actually have charts of which specific frequencies our internal organs resonate at. For a layperson it's easy to imagine that NVH testing is just a matter of setting up a dB meter and some accelerometers to make sure things aren't bouncing around too much, but it's actually much more nuanced than that, and the engineers have to consider the long-term effects of driving in the vehicle.

One easy way to picture this is: recall your last long road trip, or airplane flight, anything more than 3 hours or so. You get so tired after those, especially considering that you've only just sat still for a few hours. But in actuality your body is making hundreds of tiny corrections to posture each minute, in response to the vibrations of the vehicle, and that literally exhausts your muscles and nervous system. Now imagine that you make that car "5% more harsh" and redo the road trip; you will feel the compound effects of that additional harshness. Auto manufacturers take NVH very seriously, because it turns out to be a pretty big deal.

My point is that even if NVH comes back OK in the lab, they still will need a good deal of real world data with test subjects representative of the 'average driver' before they can make a determination.

Edit to add: I know of at least one case where the entire drivetrain of a vehicle was redesigned due to NVH.

Haha I wonder if you've read my case. I was scammed out of 100k this year.

The scammer had control of my solicitor's email and timed the attack perfectly so I was absolutely convinced I was sending money to the right place.

Didn't realize until a few days later when the solicitor called me wondering where the money was. The two week thing might have helped us but the scammer would probably just time their attack differently. Although it would increase the time they have to keep the fish on a hook.

What is your quantitative evidence for saying this?
But if you're an idiot to believe viewing source is hacking, then you're clearly the type that viewing the source is viewing encrypted data.

The actual quote states that the data was first "unencrypted" before viewing the source. This is in fact correct if not poorly phrased, but who'd expect proper terms used when we're talking about "these" people?
You should consider responsibly disclosing this vulnerability rather than posting it here.
And OpenGL changed massively. Going from fixed function to programmable hardware.

I understand that a lot of developers want low level access to hardware - that's great for a lot of applications. But that low level access means that software is tied to hardware... and software is not forward/cross compatible. Which is a VERY big deal for pro market.

Remember when Apple just "forgot" to release a pro grade desktop for years? Do you think those pros just stayed with their outdated hardware?(they didn't, they moved to Windows)

Do you think that there's a good reason for many pro software vendors to jump to Metal, when the majority of their customers are on Windows with Vulkan support?

I mentioned this on another subthread - Apple just needs to offer a cross platform API, to prove that they want pro software to be developed on Macs.

Trains do not deliver goods in days. Domestically, intermodal freight (primarily by train, bookended by local trucks) takes 1-2 weeks to deliver, usually closer to 2, and sometimes 3 if there is congestion.

Before the major port congestion, Ningbo-LA/Tacoma was usually 2-3 weeks.

Big ocean carriers are very, very efficient carriers of goods. If we don't like the fuel they burn (agreed) we should make them burn cleaner diesel, because it'll still be vastly cheaper and less polluting then building thousands of miles of high capacity train routes through sensitive ecological areas.
I think the US has won a lot more from all this than it lost. It exported low margin work abroad and kept high margin activities local. In doing so, it also attracted the world's best talent to immigrate and start enriching US companies (and pay taxes in the US).

Aside from edge cases, the vast majority of smart people I know move _from_ Canada/Mexico _to_ the US, and not the other way around. And having a lot of smart people is a huge competitive advantage in geopolitic. People without STEM degrees on the other hand don't get to access the US via NAFTA treaty. This treaty is basically a sieve that creates a brain drain in Canada/Mexico, to the benefit of the US, in exchange for some concessions on import tariffs.

And you're right that the US is an industrialists dream come true, and I think a wave of bringing back a lot of industry will happen, now that automation is more mature than it was before. And the US will be in a great position to support this, given all the highly educated people it produces locally and attracts from abroad. Basically, the US will have exported industry when it made sense to do it, and will have imported it back when the balance switched. I'd say that's not a bad deal.

My Poco F3 does that too - it can actually focus even closer. It's quite useful for reading markings.

That said, I often break out my camera and use it's macro lens when I need serious resolving power.

So that quote is actually taken out of context. The Senator knows that finstas are, and is using it to drive a different argument - that Instagram is incentivized to help teenagers bypass parental control https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/1/22704308/finsta-instagram...

> “Finstas are fake Instagram accounts. Finstas are kids’ secret second accounts. Finstas often are intended to avoid parents’ oversight. Basically, Facebook depends on teens for growth,” Blumenthal said. “Facebook also knows that nearly every teen in the United States has an Instagram account; it can only add more users as fast as there are new 13-year-olds.”
I believe this is incorrect. Systemd-networkd handles layer-3 routing and some amount of layer-2 stuff (MAC addresses, etc), but it doesn't handle wifi connections. Wifi connections are handled by wpa_supplicant (the older, and still more common wifi daemon) or iwd (newer, but not yet widely adopted).

The vast majority of users control wpa_supplicant indirectly through NetworkManager, so it's not widely known that it can be configured using simple text files. But it can! On Arch linux, the default config file location (for network card wlan0) is: /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf.

iwd is similarly straightforward to configure using text files. Using the CLI front-end is typically a nicer experience, since you get to pick the SSID from scan results and you get quick feedback if you mess up the password. But if you want to do it manually, just create one file per wifi network (containing SSID, password, etc) in /var/lib/iwd/.

"weather weirding" will tend to statistically disappear quite quickly given any kind of averaging.

A better measure is the number of incidents of weather extremes: heat, cold, rain, drought, storms.

If you had to choose between "ISP may inject a notice" and "no access to critical information at all", which would you go for?
The margin for error makes the studies that try to aggregate these things almost meaningless.

For example, Google CoLab is running in Google data centers, which are carbon neutral. Which is more or less true, but also depends on the exact nature of the source of their power and accuracy of the carbon offsets they purchase, and we all know Google is perfectly accurate and truthful all the time. /s lol

I trust Google insofar as their publicized usage of renewables and extensive use of solar. I also suspect that they're on-grid and a net producer of energy, taking advantage of deals with power companies and governments to ekeout every last penny of value in their infrastructure.

The problem is that without exact reporting of numbers, the margin of error for that source alone creates huge uncertainty in trying to assess the net carbon footprint of their service. How much research is being done using Google infrastructure? How much is being done on college campus data centers that run their hpsc on solar and wind? How much money is spent on offsets by those other sources? Again, the reality requires exact knowledge, since the usage of offsets introduces huge uncertainty, so aggregate reported usage could vary in accuracy as a proxy by more than 100% of the naively assumed footprint.

The studies are only as good as their data, and the data isn't very good unless it's obtained through legal mandate, via subpoena or regulated reporting. To my knowledge, very little of the data available for these estimates is anything except self reported numbers. The math and analyses they do are great, but the margin of error likely exceeds 75%.
sshhh. The Governor would prosecute you for saying "Cloud Hosted". How dare you find this info that is hidden in the clouds ? Literally only the Gods can see the clouds.
I was relatively deliberate with my wording. I'm not saying "get rid of progress bars", I'm saying they are bad at their job but we've never managed to really make any thing better.

Take your time estimation problem as the direct and obvious example: a progress bar on its own only really gives you a sense of timing if they move at a deliberate linear pace, which most can't do/promise (hence all the complaints about progress bars "stalling out at a percentage" when the system hits an outlier or discovers a lot more work to do), even then people are really bad at estimating linear speed of a progress bar. So a progress bar alone isn't great for judging speed.

Other threads around here make jokes about trying to add time estimates near progress bars as another way to indicate progress. Again, they work some of the time, but also need assumptions that for instance past speed predicts future speed that are often hard to guarantee in practice.

About the best progress bars can do is that "no it hasn't crashed yet" and spinners are generally better at that particular task (because progress bars don't have the granularity to show very small progression below 1/100th or 1/1000th or even 1/10000th of the overall workload), to the point that Windows added a spinner animation over top of its progress bars way back in Vista to make them better at the one job most users count on them for (for something of a best of both worlds, kind of, if you squint).

Progress bars solve problems, they just solve them badly, and yeah, that was the point of my message that we also haven't found anything much better. I agree with you that they aren't perfect and are mostly fine. We just sometimes need to admit that they are bad at their jobs and we'd replace them in a heartbeat if we actually found a better progress indicator of some sort.
