"Use a steering wheel lock, which will also work as a visual deterrent."

For years, my friends and spouse derided my use of "the Club." After all, there are so many more technically sophisticated mechanisms to deter and prevent theft. Now, the irony is that the technology is redeployed in the service of the criminal rather than the owner!

Does the pendulum swing back the other way? In a world where all mechanisms of security are digital and criminals look for digital surfaces to attack, the ultimate trump card is a physical obstacle?

I recommend reading 'Being Mortal' by Atul Gawande for some good insights into dealing with end-of-life issues. My wife & I found this very helpful in making decisions around the care of her aging father.

There is a tacit presupposition here that needs to be made explicit if we are not to betray it, namely, the distinction between properties and attributes. A property is something that follow from the essential nature of a thing. A mere attribute is something that isn't and could vary without contradicting the essential nature of a thing. So a property of triangles, following from Triangularity, is that its angles sum to 180 degrees. But the color of a triangle is an attribute that does not follow from its Triangularity. It may be important in some context, but it must be understood as secondary (of course, in a secondary way, you could say that it does tell us that the thing in question is capable of having that attribute, but the attribute itself is not the consequence of its essential nature).

A specialist can suffer from the law of instrument for analogous reasons. If you put an immunologist in charge of policy, he may reduce the common good to merely those things with immediate and obvious immunological relevance to him. Sure, freedom from infection is important to the common good, but it isn't the only thing and indeed optimizing for that in excess incurs an enormous cost to the common good.

Our education system, sadly, does not prepare us in foundational ways to reason and understand properly and this lack of intellectual and moral discipline can manifest in fixations (undisciplined passions, like in this case fear, can produce these fixations).
That’s one argument, but it’s up to the courts to decide if it’s true.
> On my iphone it pretty reliably charges up to 80%, waits a few hours and then charges to 100% when I put it on the charger for the night.

I just checked what happened last time. I went to bed around 2300, it quickly charged to 80% (getting there a bit after 2400), then stayed there until 0200, at which point it decided to charge to 100 which it had reached by 0400.

As it does every workday, and has since before I had that specific phone (which is 2 years old), the alarm woke me at 0600.

So over a 7h night it managed to spend more time at 100% than it did at 80. I’m not going to say I’m impressed, because I’m not. Based on usage pattern I could see it fail to reach 100% by 0600, but I don’t think I’ve woken at 4 once in the last 3 years.
It's like propaganda (Our most sacred institution) has killed people's imagination and hardened their hearts.
I attended a Presidential Commission on Robotics meeting at Carnegie Mellon University during the Obama administration.

UBER, Google, and a whole lot of government acronyms such as IARPA were present.

What they spent most of the day obsessing about was:

“We know, statistically, our technology WILL kill a child. How do we handle the public and political fall out of that?”

In my view they were more concerned about that than looking for technical solutions.

I brought up a personal experience:

I once almost had a accident on Interstate 80, in a construction zone.

Somehow a car that was over packed pulled from between some construction equipment, in front of me.

This driver could not see out any window but right in front of him, and he was pulling *across* the interstate traffic, not going with the flow. He could not see out the passenger window, that was facing me, it had a sleeping bag in it.

He shot out from between the construction equipment about twenty feet in front of me, while I was doing 45 MPH, remember it was a construction zone.

The correct solutions to the problem was to floor the gas, so that I could get in front of him while there was still space, and get off on the right hand berm of the road.

Any solution the applied the brakes would have caused a collision.

The experts in the room replied that Aircraft Autopilot software may have been able to avoid a collision in this example. No one was sure and few seemed to care.
Considering how often Pakistan calls for nuclear war or it addresses Osama as a martyr, I would put it along side North Korea in terms of a global threat.
> Do they have gift bailiffs who come and take your couch if you can't give an expected gift at some point?

Small groups of people (tribes, essentially) can and do use peer pressure (ostracisation) to enforce the agreed upon social contracts.

IOW, if you get a reputation as a non-giver amongst your group of friends and family who are all givers, they'll soon stop associating with you.
I think that one reason is often that a film is way longer than a single TV series episode, so it requires a bigger "commitment". I can potentially watch 3 episodes of different TV series in a single evening or either 3 episodes of the same series, while I can only watch a single movie due to its length. Also, often TV series have more time to properly introduce and develop storylines, while films have to either simplify the plot or be unbearably long in order for the format to be feasible. This makes them often harder to follow or less interesting, for instance Game of Thrones would have been probably turned into utter rubbish if it was made into a film instead of (lots of) episodes - not that it ended that well anyway, though.
How do you gain meaningful access to help/support without being able to sign-in to their help portal / ticket system?

I've been exposed to that type of Kafkian catch-22 nightmare scenario all too many times :|
Apple pushed an update in iOS 13 which brings the latency on the Pencil down to 9ms.

Which I remember vividly because it's when latency on the Pencil subjectively "went away" for me. Especially for tight loops in cursive, on iOS 12 the line would 'catch up' with the stylus, but at 9ms I don't perceive that.

Edit: crosshatching is an even better example of a technique which feels completely different at 9ms rather than 20ms.
Tried that but don't see a way to make the windows show different parts of the document. How does that happen?

I hope you are being sarcastic. These companies were fortunate to be ahead of the curve in automating content delivery but, despite their best efforts, have failed in automating service delivery. Human connection should be mandatory in running a modern business. If you want to deal with humans, you should be required to reciprocate.
Sorry about the late reply but this is something I've been thinking about for a long time and something for which I have been trying to design my own carrier board while waiting for the turing pi 2.

Think about Qubes OS where you define different "security contexts" for diferent workloads where each of these run in isolated virtual machines. If properly implemented it's a pretty sturdy solution but you're one hypervisor away from total compromise regardless of what you do.

Now think of the same thing except this time you have one main system that acts as a firewall, shared resource, pxe and window server and a few secondary nodes that boot up from lightweight static images they get from the main node and mount specific resources from it to achieve a sense of persistence (ie. firefox / thunderbird profiles, etc).

There you have a pretty decently marked attach surface so you know which services you need to audit and isolate in the main box.

In my mind I'd love to have the same thing but with the compute modules laying parallel to the main board to be able to fit it in an oversized laptop form factor (kind of like the mnt reform) but this would be a really cool middle ground.

I plan on getting to the software side of it as soon as I have some spare time because even if this doesn't work or isn't ever in stock the whole thing could be put together in a ghettoish way using regular PIs and it'd still be something that could be fit in a mini tower with a small switch which would be good enough for me.

"IT gave me a crappy black and white laptop. They are so behind."
If I buy a self-driving car (or one with those capabilities and enable them), I'm willingly giving up control. I've weighed my choices and am making a specific decision.

If I buy a "regular car" and self-driving capabilities take over for me, my control is being taken. Maybe it's justified because my driving has been erratic in a "he must be tired" kind of way so there are some immediate benefits but maybe not.

It comes down to control and choice. Without me being able to decide and turn it on or off, I'm subject to the rules, interpretation, and controls of a black box system that I'm not allowed to understand.

All too often you are referred to the fraudsters to resolve the problem.
> From one point of view, it’s obvious that, despite exceptions, most stories portray “goody-baddy” dynamics—from nursery rhymes to juicy gossip, from ancient folktales to Holy Scripture, from lowbrow reality shows to award-winning documentaries. The question is, why?

Because they are all, actually, from the same culture, as becomes obvious when reading the article. The author is a little quick to call this universal. It may be a little more "universal" than the World Series, but not much.

There are many stories where there are no baddies, and others where there are no goodies (such as Greek Mythology for instance).
This is interesting, but not exactly news. Has been known for decades.

And if you think stairbuilding is complex, you should look into handrailing [0]

The money quote from the article: "I’ve learned that the correct way to build a house is to design the handrail first, then design the stair, and the rest of the house will follow."

Part of the reason you don't notice the complexity of everyday things is that humans have spent thousands of years perfecting the details and methods that let you take your stairs and handrails for granted. And, like, 90% of everything else.

The McMaster-Carr catalog isn't >2" thick because they're trying to confuse you. It's that thick because everything they sell solves a different problem, that somebody worked out the details in years ago, and we live in a world where the experience and solutions embodied in every part gets mass produced and delivered the next day for the cost of mere money.

And then there are manufactured handrail parts, which are a grotesque and simplified perversion of a properly carved handrail (discussed in the link). But at least regular people can afford a handrail for their stairs for safety too.

> What matters is whether it was designed to work with Linux.

I 100% agree with you! I'm trying to say that whenever Linux is mentioned, there's always a Linux user who dismisses people who have problems as having "exotic hardware" because they've not had any major problems.

This is aggravating because "exotic" implies that most hardware is compatible - you were just unlucky with a particular purchase choice. Never mind that about half the GPUs you could buy would give you a hard time. I'm trying to say these users should stop defining "exotic" so broadly - just say "you probably need a machine designed for Linux. It could work on your computer but you'll probably have issues." It's so much clearer and more honest that way.

Edit: That's very different than "you should download Linux and install it today, stop sucking up to our corporate overlords! Have problems? Must have been that exotic GTX 1050 or that exotic Broadcom Wi-Fi card!" Instead, please say, "you should see if Linux will run on your computer well, we don't support a lot of hardware people expect (though we do support quite a bit). If you aren't sure, you should buy a machine built for it instead of trying to get your current machine to work, which will probably be an exercise in frustration."
Hmm. That's a tempting little project actually.
A little perspective from the other side, why screws aren't aligned in watchmaking:

Is it possible to machine a screw, tap the threads, and control the depth of the countersink so as to produce perfectly aligned slots? It is, and it's been done, but it is also apparently a royal PITA, to indulge in some colorful vernacular. In poking around trying to find out if it's ever been done, and how you do it, I ran across the discussion forum at the Practical Machinist, where several different techniques are mentioned. You do find aligned screws in manufactured objects occasionally – Parker-brand shotguns are one example – but the various methods are extremely labor-intensive

It's really hard to say in what way I don't understand something that I'm not sure I even understand.

I think one approach is to maybe fully explain the column major approach, and then introduce the row major approach, and lastly how those two interact.

> [1 2; 3 4]` is equivalent to `[1; 3;; 2; 4]`.

is a hard to understand example.

Is the space equal to ;;? e.g., is [1 2; 3 4] the same as [1;;2;3;;4]?
"Once inside, an electronic device that police say is typically used by mechanics to reset a vehicle to factory settings...From there, the vehicle is programed to accept a key the suspects have brought with them that can then be used to start the car and drive away."

It seems like that's the more important device here? It doesn't feel like there's much point having a unique key if you can reprogram the car without it.

All e-mail communications were sent through the same address I gave as recovery address, so they didn't have to ask. It is possible that one of their e-mails was sent to my recovery address instead of my personal address, but since they are the same account I wouldn't know.
If they're asking for a phone number after they've already decided you're not trusted enough with just your password, that is not 2FA.

If you're not trusted, then any phone number you give shouldn't be trusted, either.

If you're trusted enough to be let in when you give a phone number, then you should be trusted enough to be let in without it, and then asked for a phone number, if one is really needed for 2FA.

SARS-CoV-2 will never disappear. While the vaccines are pretty good at preventing deaths they don't reliably prevent infection or transmission. Even if we had more effective vaccines, the virus stll spreads and mutates in other animal species.

There is no real risk that a new variant will completely evade immunity from previous infections. Nothing is 100%. Over the long run it will probably play out similar to the previous coronavirus pandemic. Fortunately this time we have vaccines and other treatments which can prevent most deaths.

I've seen the theory that the only real endgame for COVID in the face of variants, hesitancy, etc. is a variant that outcompetes others but causes only mild symptoms. This would follow the pattern of the 1918 ("Spanish" but should really be "Kansas") flu. I don't want to downplay it, but it almost seems like omicron is a step in that direction. Keeping my fingers crossed, for sure.
Utopia of Rules - our culture thinks that if we just had the right set of rules and everyone fallowed them then everything would work well. This is a flawed belief, like other utopias.

I don't see what about ContentID is related to the "Utopia of Rules" issue. ContentID seems more like a problem related to issues of capitalism, where a corporation will make decisions to maximum profits at the expense of any human or social impacts. Alongside the inability to effectively reign in corporations who make such decisions.
I don't think this answers your question, but it was exemplified in the movie "Brazil", iirc.
> I kept arguing because I thought I was right. I felt really annoyed with him and he was annoyed with me. In retrospect, I think I saw the fundamental difficulty in what we were doing and I don’t think he appreciated it (look at the stairs picture and see if you can figure it out), he just heard ‘let’s draw some diagrams and compute the angle’ and didn’t think that was the solution, and if he had appreciated the thing that I saw I think he would have been more open to drawing some diagrams. But at the same time, he also understood that diagrams and math don’t account for the shape of the wood, which I did not appreciate. If we had been able to get these points across, we could have come to consensus.

If you want to understand the value of “soft skills” like communication, it’s right here.

Being able to understand that there are different points of view present, and finding the bridge between them, is a super power for facilitating teamwork. Like any other skill, some people have more natural talent, but training and practice can help almost anyone.

Studying the humanities, which sometimes comes in for scorn among technical folks, can be a way to do this. Learning to read and write critically about literature and art really starts with learning to detect and think carefully about different points of view: among characters, and between the artist and various members of their audience.

The alternative is not between bare metal and paravirtualization. Hardware assisted virtualisation is a thing. The hypervisor can actually be very thin.

I think what you are describing is actually an argument in favor of unikernel. The idea is to get the best of both world. You get the isolation guaranty provided by virtualisation without the cost of a full OS running on a full OS and with the added benefits of compiler optimisation running on the whole stake at once.

Intellectually it makes a lot of sense. The question is: can it actually work without creating a lot of frictions during development and deliver these theoretical gains.

I used to be a creator (YT) in 2011 (channel created in 2011), granted I was young and inexperienced, I used certain copyrighted music / images initially and those particular videos were de-monetized. I feel my account was "flagged" internally for the lack of better word.

But then, I learned of how to give credits and all, but once you are "marked" there's very little chance that you may get monetized (at least used to be that way, haven't checked now). Also, by default, your videos would be marked as "Has copyrighted contents" which might not always be true.

The biggest pain point comes when you have to argue with the system / support. There were 2 videos where I did not use copyrighted material and credited royalty free track as per the requirement but there's no winning over them(even with facts).
