It applies to anything really. This is why we can't have nice things type of comments. Someone comes up with something clever, but the scammers figure out how to use it better than it was targeted originally. Now, it's a bad thing, even though the thing itself is neither good or bad.
Also the legal headaches when a counterparty claims that you forged the signature, or manipulated the contract?
Was the code written by Nintendo? They wrote c code that compiles into the Zelda game but if we were to look at Nintendo's source I can guarantee it's different than what this team produced.
I hate Docusign charging to use SAML. Biggest scam any company can do. “Pay us an arm and a leg to provide better security on your account.”

I read a lot of these wacko things coming out of Australia, but is any of it really enforced? Wasn't there a thing about banning encryption?

I remember when Malcolm Turnbull made the quote: “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia,”

Australian Government has gone bat shit crazy. The population should become ungovernable.
There are ways around this. Just having each account only able to do the verification thing occasionally and resetting that timer when it's done on your account make this a very slow process that manual intervention should be able to thwart.
Not that it matters but I was amazed to find out via your Wikipedia link that his son was a founding member of Mumford and Sons. What a strange world.
went looking for original article on here in case old discussion and/or out on the net for copies/maybe repostings

and just noticed this weird side phenomena of spam where top links on HN are being posted on random probably autogenerated blogs as if they're new content but they are just lifted from HN?

weird and annoying and pretty crappy really.

Same. I just ignore them.
I'm not sure the current restrictions segmenting vaccinated vs unvaccinated people in Europe would fall under that. In my country you need to be vaccinated and wear a 3-ply mask to go to a supermarket to get milk, but it's A-OK to go to a dance class for 1.5 hours with 30 other people and not be vaccinated or wear a mask.
> That is that country's problem, not yours.

I agree in principle. However (China nonwithstanding) the internet knows no borders. Any one country not policing and arresting CP provides material for paedophiles in any other country.

If consuming online CP increases the likelihood that paedophiles will go on to abuse children (as I suspect it would) then child abuse in another country is your problem.
I always like the a concept of the Weirdularity

It says that

1. The number of things that happen to people is increasing because the number of people is increasing.

2. The amount of news a person can consume is limited.

3. The news only reports on things that are "weird" -- which is to say the things that are at the far end of the bell curve.

4. As sample size increases, variability increases.

5. Because of (1,4,3, and 2) more and more of the news will be weird news.

6. Eventually all the news will be weird news.

When all news is weird news, we have reached the Weirdularity.
Something isn't quite right here... The link at the top leads to your own article. Surely that couldn't be your intent...

We used that for PCI compliance when I was working at Whole Foods. That only covers their part of the shared responsibility model.

There’s still a whole boatload of things that still need to be covered which do not fall on their side of the shared responsibility model.
Water has some pretty weird and unique properties. If we wouldn't be lucky enough to have it at our disposal in high quantities, this material would feel magical to us.

For signing documents or accessing documents you signed you don’t have to pay anything.

If you are creating documents to be signed , 10-20$ is insignificant cost even if it is was per document.

Most contracts are worth lot more, most lawyers who draft these types of documents costs more . Sending a copy of a physical document by USPS for overnight delivery to couple of people will cost you that much.
I was reading a biography of Nikola Tesla and they mentioned he could visualize entire machines in his head, rotate, tear them down, revise and redesign.

My first thought was "wait...not everyone does that?"

When I am describing a mechanical device the description builds in my vision...to the point where if I focus on it I can nearly block what I am actually seeing with what I am visualizing. My hand gestures are actually me mentally manipulating the device as I describe it. And immediately when I stop...my vision restores and the "real world" is back.

When I was a child I was a "daydreamer"...constantly looking out the window. Now that I am older I realize this is why. Not everyone is like this...that was something I had no concept of...I have always been this way.

I am not an exceptional artist...but I have a near photographic memory for things I read and conversations I have had. On the flip side though...I am for the most part totally face blind. I have trouble finding people in a crowd...especially if they change clothes, difficulty placing where I know someone from (but once they say "you know...at that one party"...I can remember the entire conversation we had).

My suspicion is the mind typically balances these things and somehow I am "off balance". It is very much a gift and a curse.
Not a good idea. Account recovery should not depend on social relationships, the nature of which could change any time.
Julia has a decent amount of penetration in the private sector, just not in "tech". If you look at JuliaComputing's clients, you'll see a lot of private customers, they're just not the type that typically talks a lot about the tech they're using.
It sounds like you do have aphantasia yes.

I am a part of a large fb group that was formed when the 2015 study was released and we all discovered it.

Here’s something you may find interesting: people seem to have a variety of combinations of “mind’s senses” as well as typically a single sense that their mind functions in normally.

Some examples to hopefully illustrate what I mean:

- Seeing clear pictures in their mind’s eye, and processing things visually

- Having colours and blur in their mind’s eye, almost like it needs glasses, and processing things visually

- Having compete blackness in their mind’s eye and processing things through a “mind’s ear” (for example: by having a complex inner monologue/dialog)

- Bonus: there’s even a difference in inner monologues. Some have a distinct voice, some have an absolutely flat monotone voice, some have a voice that blabs about everything going on combined with memories and perceptions, some have a voice that is only stating literal observations... I find it fascinating how different we all are.

I don’t think I know of anyone who processed everything through a “mind’s nose”, but we have definitely had discussions about the different ways people’s “noses” work.

Kinaesthetic senses (“mind’s hand”/“mind’s sense of physical space”) seems to be a rare one, even among aphants, and that’s what I have: my brain processes things by “touch”. Memories are recalled much like fumbling for threads in a black room. If I can find the right thread (rare: I have a terrible memory), and if I can follow it patiently enough, then I find that everything is connected on the other side. (Who is X?.... [some small detail of their shirt is found on the edge of my awareness]... Aha! I met X at Y, and this is what the day was like, and there was something about a burrito, and some time later we went for great Mexican food).

It took a while before I could properly learn complex topics as I had to translate them all to a sort of mental “muscle memory”. I couldn’t tell you what the name of something is, but I can tell you the mechanics of how it works.

So yes, I think you’re entirely on to something with the cartographic compression of a mental model, but that does not seem to be the majority of people. On the contrary it seems that we’re in the minority.

You’d think that this kind of topic is impossible to understand properly because of how poorly most people know themselves but I have seen the initial discussions first-hand and if you saw what I saw you would know that those people were not faking but were instead self aware enough and open enough to reveal some hidden truths about human beings in general.
Backpressure – the resisted flow of data through software
Its a prisoner's dilemma, the SEC's mission of protecting investors is impossible if their only response to compliance are enforcement actions that will hurt investors

In the past, this meant that exchanges won't list the token to trade (or delist, with traders panic selling before the delisting events), as any asset notified as being a security requires a broker-dealer to trade it ONLY IF it is registered. But for the past 2 years, centralized exchanges aren't involved in the liquidity. The network has innovated a way to incentivize liquidity with a fundamentally different model of exchange called AMMs (automated market markers, the acronym tells you nothing about why it is different though, but thats the term to look up). AMMs let people pool liquidity onchain and there is practically zero consequence anymore from SEC action - with regard to globally accessible liquidity. And sure, maybe the numerous liquidity providers can be sanctioned but they don't care, it is extremely easy to mix your legitimate funds with Tornado Cash and come out the other side and make a liquidity pool anonymously with mixed funds. It is up the regulator to figure out who to sanction and in this case the mixer's use isn't criminal and the clean funds on the ensuing anonymous side are only a civil issue. Also, even if you want to argue the cat and mouse game favoring the government's omnipotence, liquidity can be burned making that liquidity permanent no matter what happens to the human. I would actually argue a significant bullish thesis is based on how many assets are intentionally burned in liquidity pool bearer shares. Its pretty much perfect right now (with room for improvement in the liquidity pool technology). Between permissionless AMMs and permissionless bridges, and 3 trillion USD already within the crypto ecosystem outside of exchanges, its just not really the same game as it was 3 years ago.

The SEC regulates the intermediaries and now those intermediaries have been disintermediated.
Those _are_ due to new information.

Nearly everything you mentioned changed because we saw how the policies put in place panned out. Everyone thought that since the infectious period was 2 weeks that locking up for 2 weeks would do the trick, well, turns out that it’s impossible to “completely” isolate and rates kept going up. Should we have just stuck to our guns and celebrated the “end of COVID?” That wouldn’t make sense.

The biggest recommendation that really didn’t make sense was the “don’t mask” one. My personal believe is that it was likely to prevent a run on PPE, but I think that still harms trust. Who knows what will be or would have been more damaging in the long run though. If hospitals couldn’t get masks, staff would have gotten sick possibly causing more deaths. However the lie has harmed trust and could be one of the reasons for our low vaccination rates in the US, causing more deaths. Hard to know what the right call was. I would lean towards not lying being right though.
I don't think you can. If you go to see your purchases, by each purchase there should be a "download album" link. Next to one of my purchases instead there is a "more info" link and if I click it I get the following message: "Sorry, {album name} by {artist name} is no longer available. Please contact {artist name} for more information."
If they didn't allow you to start your own website/service or become independent then they did not change your career.
Yeah 4x4 would be a bit much, 3x3 is doable, 3x2 is easy.
Do you have any examples of societies where this is possible through a privatization mechanism?
alright just throw your hands up in the air and sigh then
Ruby Under a Microscope is the first and only technical book I will finish; if you like Ruby and are curious about how things work under the hood it's a joy to read.
You need to look for something that actually interests you. Reading some bible on design patterns with hundreds of useless Java or C++ examples often IS boring. And let's be honest it probably won't make you a better software developer.
A close second to me was Hacking: The Art of Exploitation by Jon Erikson. It's a great introduction to low level stuff and how basic hacks are formed. Really loved it though I admit I never finished it.
Who exactly are you answerable to if your boss is a DAO? Does a group of random crypto enthusiasts act as the board of directors? If so, how do I short that company?
> They already have the image, why redownload it?

They don’t already have the image. They have part of the image. Because the connection hasn’t closed, as far as the browser is concerned, it’s still in the process of downloading it.
"That said, NFTs are no more and no less irrational than buying the right to have your name slapped on anything else. Plenty of people will give money to have their name placed on a wing of a building or a park bench or what have you"

This nails it. People have been carving their names into historical monuments for centuries, or at least putting locks with their names on bridges.
I’m sure this is a good skill to have but if I remove the word “technical” from your second sentence I would think that would now apply to all PMs. I guess I’m wondering really how TPM is different than PM.
You don’t need to read these books end to end.

The a builds on b builds on c style of learning is only one way of learning things, and in many cases, the foundations (a, b) serve you no real value.

Just jump to the sections that interest you (c) and go back to previous sections if you feel like you’ve lost track of what they’re talking about.

For example, the first 20 pages of ‘Remote’ cover why remote working is good. It is intended for people who are considering if remote working is suitable. If that’s not relevant to you, do not waste your time reading it.

Of course, you still have to actually sit and read the chapters that interest you… but, if you struggle with that for the chapters you’re actually interested in perhaps a more project based (do a thing, use references from book) approach, or notes based (treat book as study text, rewrite it as your own notes) might work for you.

…but, don’t feel bad. These are super boring ass books with a few interesting parts to them.
No, I haven't personally but I'm assuming that you have. If that is the case did you end up hiring a private detective and security force to remediate your circumstance?
With all due respect, if you're not a lawyer, you probably shouldn't make suggestions that your solution may be more legally binding than DocuSign.

The same way I'm not going to take any claims from the product manager of a new VPS company that they're more secure than AWS.
This won't ever happen so you (we) won't get to short it unfortunately.
There's plenty of organizations that do this. An interesting approach was someone selling land with a tree in Scotland, and once you buy it, you get a certificate that you're now a Scottish Lord.
Xi is used non-stop in the probability / Monte Carlo community! I wonder if this is a sampling bias of arxiv versus AMS (pun intended).
That is SMS hijacking. That’s why @epitom3 says 2FA with an app.
The site is fine. I've never encountered any problems.
Not a great analogy because the semantics of the classic C types still leak through. For example, ((uint16_t)0xFFFF) * ((uint16_t)0xFFFF) would cause undefined behavior if int is 32 bits wide, due to implicit arithmetic promotions.

Also, many APIs of the C standard library are defined to take or give char/int/etc., and it takes effort to translate between those types and u8/u32/etc. in a safe way that works on all platforms.
"older people - with co-morbidities such as diabetes" which that exact same population that is at risk with the existing variants... It's the at-risk group which is actually small.
It sounds like you’re trying to fit new pegs into old holes?
So TPM = PM + T where T is a deeper understanding of a topic… Which makes you better at general PM things?

Tangentially - how common is it for a TPM to write code?
It's a comprehesive set of advices in general. My personal favorite is to plan the Getting Started to be accomplisheable in no more that 30min., and use short sentences, if possible.

Even though the advices are generally applicable, I read them from a sole developer prospective.

From that angle I think the most important is to describe the main use case and then any major features. Pointing a user to some [preferrably annotated] test-cases is equally effective way to explain what could be done.

Having a built-in help of whatever level of detail and polish is the next priority in my view.

If one is able to expand this into a full-blown doc, then just explain whatever you care your users to know to be able to use your product.

Basically, the emphasis is on the making the thing useful first, then put the efforts into the verbal packaging. We all know, that the code will need maintenance, so will the docs. So not everyone could afford to prioritize both.

In open source, I'd appreciate any doc at all, just let me know of the utility.

Would not worry that much about typos and such. Sure it's easy to check, but fear not, these serve almost like an invitation for users to contribute their part into your project. Well, who knows, some may be inspired and more able to help you with a full-blown and effective doc!

i want learn about cyber security but i don't know where to learn practically about Cyber Security.
i already know python and trying to learn about ctf . so is there anything i am missing?
This is exactly what I experience. The only time I perceive anything like "seeing in the mind's eye" is on the edge of sleep and it vanishes if I pay any attention to it. (I do see in dreams, which is distinctly different from the hypnagogic imagery.)

I usually describe what you refer to as a sense of space on a monochrome model as being as if I've loaded a JSON file listing out all of the points on a 3D model, but there's no renderer to view it with.
Good question. I guess my answer is not really. I'm not sure why I haven't sought out more of this kind of thing.

Still, a couple of random things I can think of:

The Spatialite Cookbook is no longer maintained, but I think still useful. That's structured as a sequence of fun exercises: http://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/spatialite-cookbook/index.h...

I also enjoyed Peter Norvig's Design of Computer Programs online course: https://www.udacity.com/course/design-of-computer-programs--...
I wouldn't know... I have aphantasia and sometimes I'm not even convinced that I even dream (I'm being facetious but at the same time I'm really not). Many others with aphantasia report similarly that they do not have recollections of their dreams.

I think that I know that I dream, deep down, because of things that former roommates and my wife have told me, but... I am trusting them at their word. And I know they're not lying to me, because why would they, but... I don't know it myself because I haven't experienced it.
I made a new instagram account, and it was locked out and blocked within a day and someone stole the name.

Nothing to be done. Just wanted to post nice landscape photos of the place I biked too.

I logged in, it requested my number and they just cold say "we'll contact you" and nothing.
There are definitely state-sponsored bots, bigots, and trolls on the internet.

States tend to want a monopoly on harming people.

Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me! I found it informative and enjoyable to read.
I really wonder how often omicron is really used as a Greek variable and who decides. Fun fact: Big O notation is actually big omicron notation.
It clicked for me when I read Blake Ross's article on his own discovery of aphantasia:

I read that and went "huh. I guess I'm weirder than I thought."
Have you tried spending any serious amount of time in VR?

After about 30 hours in I was getting really wild enhancements to my dreams and some changes to my “mind’s eye”. Almost like mono vs stereo or black and white vs colour, but it was more like what I thought was 3d was actually 2d and I only found out after it smacked me in the face.
Laws for that sort of thing already exist, so that's obviously not what they're talking about when they say "unmask trolls". It's clear these Australian politicians are authoritarians who are upset about people insulting them online.
3 really depends on the rights of the token. It’s not exactly without precedent, take the Green Bay Packers it’s the sole NFL team not owned by private billionaires, in fact it doesn’t have any owners. Nearly every 10 years they raise funds through a “public offering” of “stock” amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. Every time they obtain a no-action letter from the SEC. Packers “stock” is not stock in the common sense of the word as it doesn’t convey ownership, again there are no owners of the team (despite people often incorrectly saying the city owns the team). But Packers stock does give holders the right to vote/elect a certain number of directors to the board. Lots of DAO tokens are structured this way, where holders are given voting rights but not ownership rights. There are numerous other examples including other sports related examples.

Perhaps the best part of the Green Bay Packers is that the reason they only publicly offer “stock” every 10 years or so, is they have to obtain permission from the NFL and the NFL’s official position is that the NFL must restrict the Packers public offerings because it is a “competitive advantage” over every other team backed by billionaires.
I know, and this actually crossed my mind. It's probably the case this writer doesn't actually believe the Wahpeton Dakota Nation prophesy is real. They are just giving respect to indigenous peoples and not actually propping up horoscopes or Nostradamus, or whatever.
Sometimes accepting the premise of people you're trying to disagree with ends up reinforcing their position.
Since the time I discovered Typora, I only use LibreOffice Writer or MS Word when I really need typesetting. Whenever I just need to write/save a text (and don't really need to specify fonts etc) I use Typora.

Besides all the other features it is particularly pleasing aesthetically and this way makes writing satisfying. I wish there were an Obsidian theme to mimic Typora look and feel.
Couldn't you make this argument about democratic deliberation in general? I dont disagree, but the provisionality of opinions is sort of an existential question for democracy.
