Nope. Daniel Ortega and Nicolas Maduro, in their countries in Latin America, today, can put any one in prison within hours for no reason besides a capture order. And they can do it in bulk. They can kill, but they don't need to. Not high profile victims, at least.

Their countries are and will remain poor because they are idiots beyond what is necessary to stay in power. They aren't good administrators.

Guix, and I think Nix also, package the things from these other package managers so you can manage them all with the same package manager. This also means features like rollbacks can apply to your emacs packages.

You can run pip on Guix System, but I don't think you'd have to, ideally. Same for rust's cargo and so on.
What I really like about their idea is, the central point of that thing is the training effect for still existing bodily ressources.

But I think they need to expand their advised market from former owners of treadmill desks on HN and their aging parents to a broader healthcare audience.
I'm just wondering - is it safe to have it written in GoogleDocs with all the previous versions remaining there?
Yeah, basically the only major attack surface is one the SIM itself, but I have the feeling telcos learned their lesson and verify the identity of the person asking for a SIM replacement in a more strict way.
serious question: why is something that is updated without you knowing about it ok?

Software Architecture: The Big Ball of Mud
And Schmidt is a sociopath entirely devoid of any moral compass.

Some anecdotes: on privacy, Schmidt famously said "if you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place". So CNET reporters published some of his personal information found through Google searches to demonstrate the need for privacy that he was denying to us peasants. Instead of reconsidering his position, he blacklisted CNET from speaking to Google.

In 2017 a think tank working on tech praised the European Commission's legal decision to fine Google for abusing its market power. Schmidt used his personal influence to have the author of the report fired from the think tank.

See also Assange's report: "Schmidt's world view equates progress with the geographic expansion of Google, supported by the US State Department – technocratic imperialism."

On tax, Schmidt has claimed that Google's tax avoidance is "capitalism" and that he is "very proud of it".

A personal anecdote: I remember Schmidt starting a conversation with a room of people barely making a living by discussing his latest vacation in the Caribbeans and how big his yacht was. He did not even consider that this could be perceived as rude or obscene. It was painfully obvious that to him these extreme levels of inequality are natural and perfectly justified, with himself on the right side of course.

He considers himself very bright. There is some evidence that he his slightly above average. But if you look at some of his strategic decisions, politically before Trump he bet all in on Clinton, positioning Alphabet very close to the Democrats. To a technocrat like him Clinton's victory was obvious. Of course he got things entirely wrong and completely missed the Trump populist backlash, which put Alphabet in a very difficult position politically for several years.

Schmidt is the embodiment of the modern technocratic elite, respects only power and money, complete spite and disregard for common people, entirely alien to the mere concept of common good or actual democracy, and absolute confidence that today's inequalities are perfectly natural, despite his own position being much more a consequence of his sociopathic tendencies than of his slightly above average skills, praising capitalism and liberalism while he got rich and powerful largely through monopolistic market dominance.

Of all the dim technocratic billionaires that pass for our so-called elite today, he is the one I despise the most.
Same way that it's ok that if you update your distro it fetches newer drivers, a new kernel and patched versions of all the software you installed? Microcode is loaded at runtime, it's not permanently modifying your system.

For what it’s worth, a consumer is pretty well protected after the fact by regulatory protections.

But I’ll include the PSA I posted on the article as well:

Attorney here (not legal advice).

Please be aware that there is a short deadline required for Regulatory disputes (approximately 60 days). That could have an effect on your claim. Time is of the essence.

And depending on how soon you notify the institution before the deadline, you can be stuck losing up to $500.

Again, please just know time is of the essence and you want to reach to an experienced attorney ASAP if you suffer fraud.

Seems very fragile considering how sensitive a phone can be to water, drops, shocks, and battery failure.
I remember that scammers got in touch with my wife, trying to get personal info. It was fairly elaborate. She got a call from a man that she said had “a golden voice,” followed by official-looking mail correspondence (very quickly, which was suspicious, in itself -it can take many days for my bank to get me correspondence). They had our home phone number, her name (not mine), and address; either through public records, or via a breach (which is why “they didn’t get customer credit card info” is a worthless reassurance).

It was “Synchrony Bank,” telling her she was victim of a fraud. I contacted the real Synchrony Bank, and let them know about the fraud. The contacts stopped.

I think that’s the genius of the scam.

“We’ll never ask for your password. And we’re not asking for your password. This is just a one-time authentication token. Your password is safe!”
> The idea is to call the institution back, often customer service, or log in to your account and check for alerts or messages. If customer support knows nothing about the contact attempt, I presume it's not legitimate.

And I'm saying that even if the customer support knows about the call, that doesn't mean that the next call you get in 2m from the bank is legitimate.

In all cases, anyone reaching out to you from your bank should be treated as not legitimate. The only way to do this is to call the bank yourself, and get put through to the person who wants to talk to you.

Any other way including the way you said you'd do it is vulnerable to phishing.

In Europe, regulation prevents or at least places strong barriers on SIM card theft, which makes SMS 2FA pretty secure. You can't just go and transfer a phone number in a matter of minutes to someone else - it is always a multiple days long process involving numerous SMS notifications prior to the actual transfer.

Every time I read post-mortems on hacks and scams in the US, my mind is a bit blown on just how easy most could have been prevented by tiny bits of government regulation that we Europeans take for granted.

One has to wonder why these protests, which happen every week and are big, barely get reported in the media. When they are mentioned many people denounce them as being a bunch of anti-vaxxers. This is far from true, but like so much propoganda nowadays has an element of truth.

Personally, I'm pro-vaccine, double jabbed and luckily no bad experiences with side effects. But I'm vehemently anti-vaccine passport. Every one should have a right to choose. We all have a unique and complex life. It is not for me or you or govt to decide on things like this.

Never mind the outrageous curbs on freedoms, vaccine passports are likely to be if anything counterproductive. Vaccines work in saving lives. But the vaccinated are being infected at higher rates than the non-vaccinated according to UK govt data [0].

I don't feel like it's too complex. I started working with it about two years back and was productive within the first hour.

You definitely don't have to use everything. The only "requirement" you need - I use the term very loosely - is knowing how to use sigils ($,@,%,&) and understanding when to use which, which is easier than it looks. The rest of the knowledge comes naturally if you're inclined to refactoring.

For me, that means I'd write the most verbose solution first, then slowly work my way down to fewer SLoC. A recent programming problem took about 20 lines in Python but was a one-liner in Raku. I know SLoC isn't everything but it provides the dopamine this lizard brain craves, haha.
Can't blame them (us) too much. It was unprecedented, and all previous dangerous fledgling pandemics in the past 10 years did just stop in time somehow. H1N1, MERS, SARS, Ebola etc.
Second paragraph of the article:

"The architect of this under-the-radar campaign to smother privacy protections has been Jay Carney, who previously served as communications director for Joe Biden, when Biden was vice president, and as press secretary for President Barack Obama. Hired by Amazon in 2015, Carney reported to founder Jeff Bezos and built a lobbying and public-policy juggernaut that has grown from two dozen employees to about 250, according to Amazon documents and two former employees with knowledge of recent staffing."

Commonly littered single-use plastic items: call for evidence
Yes, just like a house ownership contract by itself is just a piece of paper and is independent of the underlying house. And to prove your ownership of your house that contract must be validated by a central authority - a goverment.

A house ownership NFT on the other hand requires no central authority for validation and complete strangers can exchange that house without a central authority being involved in proof of trust, and the buyer can immediatly charge rent based on his new ownership of the house. Thus removing several layers of bureaucracy.

Indeed, enforcment against mallicious misapropiation of ownership still requires a central authority with monopoly on violence.

It will change when it becomes the economically rational choice for banks.

I won’t bore with details, but I’m a lawyer who primarily sues banks for customers. And I’ve seen the lawsuits I file lead/contribute to changes in bank behavior and policy.

The regulatory protections are there. Now lawyers need to punch banks on the nose until they decide they want to do more to stop the fraud in the first instance.

But it’s strange, clients have almost like a Stockholm syndrome with the banks. Their rational is often something like “I don’t want to sue them and make them mad, because that might mean I won’t get my money back”

But you’re not going to get your money back unless you sue. Meanwhile deadlines pass and then you’re screwed (and embarrassed)
A comment like this got me banned from reddit, stating I was downplaying the risk of Covid.

As other posters mentioned, the recent "mechanical keyboard" subculture is all about show and boasting. It's not a surprise it seem to have boomed with gaming rigs and streaming channels.

The keyboard in these circles is all about status, not function.
If anything, I would compare it to "dubious" car mods like "cambered wheels".

Due to RSI I tried dozens of keyboards over the years. When I see these new keyboards being sold at these prices, especially the mechanical ones marketed with "improved layouts" and ergonomics, I have to laugh.

There's genuine difference between the various switch types, and I totally believe that for some people the acoustic feedback can be a valid alternative to the haptic one. Physical feedback while typing can really help. However it's clear to me most of these people are not really trying to solve an issue when you see reviews of switching performance after lubing...
hahaha nooo. They won't notice!

I actually prefer to collect the domain-specific generators in a domain context (see https://jqwik.net/docs/current/user-guide.html#domain-and-do...).
This requires less ceremony to re-use arbitraries in different container classes.
What can I do with Gopher and Finger? (isn't Gopher also a Haskell like programming lang?)
Yup, it's all about controlling users' access to hardware and software to fulfill some imaginary "freedom" ideal that doesn't actually have any relevance in reality.

Stallman personally refused to certify bunnie's Novena laptop (a fully open hardware and software laptop) as "Respects your Freedom" because there were no free drivers for the GPU, and although it wasn't going to ship with GPU acceleration (that's optional anyway), Stallman said users might be "tempted" to install the proprietary blob. Instead he suggested it might be possible to get the manufacturer to cripple the GPU (permanently fuse it off of existing chips that already have it), and then that could be RYF-certified.

bunnie gave up on that, but had he actually shipped a crippled FSF-approved version... a few years later, open drivers for that GPU were developed, so that would've made the regular version certifiable, and everyone who bought the "respects your freedom" version would've been left with needlessly crippled hardware. But the FSF insists this is the way to go.

Meanwhile, they're endorsing "Respects Your Freedom" Bluetooth dongles that have about half a megabyte of proprietary firmware in ROM.

> NFTs are probably best thought of as a recapitulation of status goods into the digital world

Status cannot be manufactured, it spurs naturally due to having rare things such as a big mansion, grammys, academy awards, winning the Super Bowl , winning the NBA title, winning the World Series etc.

All those things are both rare and cannot be copied.

NFTs instead are easily copied idividually (right click) or even in bulk as this torrent file proves.

Second life did a much better job at representing status goods in the digital world than NFTs.

And I know people in here don't want to hear it, but given its history and its budget Zuck's Meta will improve upon what Second Life did and knock it out of the park like it did with social networks.
So the idea is that when I play Call of Duty, I can wear the hat I purchased in Roblox? And when I'm in Roblox, I can use the character I purchased in Call of Duty?

I think it's just a matter of the penny dropping. When self-driving cars aren't here over the next few years; and when more big biz tries and fails with 'AI' -- we will enter another winter.

I have to say it will be schadenfreude from me -- given the absolutely reckless behaviour of the army of grant-chasing academics happy to inflate the bubble. When that funding suddenly disappears, it'll be there own fault.
A currency amount is just a rational number with "1000000" as a denominator.

This is the correct representation, and how Google or the blockchain do it.
I need help with Bash shell scripting
My sister requested for a help on her coding assignment. She is a slow learner. PS. I don't know anything about coding. She asks my help if I have any friends that can help out.

By using Bash shell script, you have to write ONE (1) script that would perform the following tasks:
a) [2 marks] Display a list of available tasks on the screen. After selection of choice, the script will prompt if results to be displayed on the screen or stored in user home directory.The tasks cover:
b) [10 marks] Check all the status of services you have installed and configured in Part 1 - Task 2.
i. Administrator will get a detail and a summary notification on the installed services, folders, block, storage, ports and URL/IP address etcs that are successful running.
ii. The script will perform a check by sending test data to the server and wait for response. For e.g. check specific configuration keywords in DNS configuration file, successfully load website from the server, get response of query from the database, success attempt to login to NFS/Samba/Block storage, successful remote access to server etc.
c) [2 marks] Analyse the disk usage of the server
i. if the disk space is more than 90%; an email is sent to the administrator
d) [2 marks] Monitor high CPU usage that hit 75% and above.
e) [2 marks] Identify processes that has been running for more than 1 hour.
f) [2 marks] Add a new user to the system with his/her username default password (you define the default password pattern)
g) [2 marks] Add users from a name list (e.g. text file) with default password set
h) [2 marks] Disable (not delete) user. User will be prompted for confirmation.
i) [2 marks] Display users who login as root (sudo) for the past 7 days, their login (as root) date and time, and the commands that the privilege escalated user runs
j) [2 marks] Produce a report that records of Tasks 4b to 4e in ONE (1) click.
Your script MUST include ONE (1) text-based user interface to facilitate the process.

I am not saying I disagree with you. I'm no Kissinger fan. But your argument will be much stronger if you provide hard facts, not just an unsubstantiated claim.
"automatically" as in "automatically when you update the rest of your distro", not an extra step as the poster above clearly seemed to expect. That context also was clearly from the other comments already.
The peaceful protests in Algeria, gathering hundreds of thousands and sometimes millions, nation wide, every week, for close to three years, were 'barely' covered, even less so when the people were brutally assaulted and arrested by the thousands.

There are some of them still in jail, they were snatched from cafés or from home. Some of them were arrested for a Facebook status, or a cartoon. Some were arrested for 'intelligence with a foreign power' (they were accredited journalists). I may be arrested for writing this.
From my experience, most people are left in disbelief when you tell them that the bitcoins they own are not in their wallet. It reflects a deep lack of understanding of how bitcoin works. I don't think misunderstanding how a financial product works is a good thing. Whereas, again, from my experience, bank accounts are well understood. People are fully aware that their funds are not being kept in a box in the bank's vault, and no one tries to convince them of the contrary either.
Incorrect, often NFTs contain the hash of the content, where the content itself is pinned to IPFS.

That said, tokens that are not pinned to IPFS are fucking worthless, and it's hard to tell whether an NFT is pinned to IPFS unless you're skilled at navigating Ethereum contacts.
> That study was not rigorous and their claim easily falsifiable.

Specifically, what part of their methodology is not rigorous?

Given that a substantial chunk of the top tier exchanges have been caught and charged with wash trading (Bitmex, Coinbase), I think we already have quite a bit of circumstantial evidence to suggest it is likely an issue.
I just wanted to state how annoying it is that Kissinger is still alive… it’s like some of the worst parts of the 20th Century still laughing in the face of humanism.

Distros prompt you when upgrading packages, not binaries. You get a prompt to update Firefox package, not for replacing the actual binary on disk.

Typically packages including microcode behave the same way - prompt to update the package, no prompt to implement that update (replace individual files).
