Do you think we live in StarTrek future already? Human brain is the most complex thing in the entire universe, as far as we know so far. You compare it to a what, a computer?

If its good they'll make a hack to unlock it. Have phones that were sold locked, so many security bugs that they are easily unlocked.

All they did was try to live in it, sealed off, for two years. That failed because, it turns out, concrete absorbs oxygen for months after it hardens. Nobody knew that, before. They didn't manufacture anything, not even cloth.

> The report also did not make any moves to ban the use of end-to-end encryption, which has been criticised by some politicians and child safety advocates as enabling criminal activity.

> Instead, it recommends that the use of encryption should be a "risk factor" included in risk assessments the tech companies must complete under the bill.

Banning encryption would be too straight-forward, and would galvanize opposition. Much more effective to weigh down companies with fines and legal and administrative barriers, until they eventually give up and do away with encryption.

This way there is no clear cause for the activist to point at - only companies "voluntarily" doing the "responsible" thing and backdooring their platforms, so GCHQ can bulk monitor all private communications.

> It was planned that Ms Dorries and her successors would have the power to exempt some services, modify codes of conduct, give "guidance" to Ofcom, and exercise powers on national security grounds - which the committee says should be variously restricted, removed, or subject to oversight.

As usual, regime media and collaborators will be given a pass, while others get crackdowns. You'd expect they'd be more subtle about subverting equality before the law, instead of explicitly writing that some may be exempted - provided the curry enough favor with the politicians.

Google used it to detect the SEO spammers, improve the algorithm for a while, and now it seems that spammers have found a way around that again because in the mean time maintaining it wasn't worth it inside Google.
Nah. Once you got creative users to stop installing scads of extensions, Macs were way more stable than Win95 boxes.

The problem was that creative users had no concept of "some extensions just aren't compatible with others".
Yes you get these article submission, but you still see many of HN comments defending USB-C as a non-issue or an user issue. It is the user's fault for buying the wrong cable. Just get the Thunderbolt Cable.

For most part of 2014 to 2019. USB-C was hailed as the silver bullet. The increasing backlash against USB-C was a very very recent thing.
I was surprised to hear that it is not even being taught in the West. Edison is still being taught as the guy who invented this and that, when in fact it was Nikola Tesla. I suppose it is more likely in the USA.

Bad handling of out of stock components aside, I'm routinely amazed at how effective DigiKey and Mouser are. I can order a cart of 40 different items, each costing $0.05, getting 1 or 2 of each, and somehow they manage to routinely deliver in 2 days exactly what I ordered. They must lose quite a lot of money on those R&D orders - there's just no way you can make money having someone hunt down a specific resistor, cut 3 of them off a reel and put them in a bag.

The Case for Atomic / Utility-First CSS
In most of the cities I've lived in Europe supermarkets are usually outside of downtown (though there may be a few there) but still in walkable residential neighbourhoods. You don't want to have to go all the way downtown to buy food.

It's pretty similar to the way medium sized Safeways are spread throughout San Francisco, except the rent isn't $3000/month for a 1 bed and the soap and shampoo doesn't have to be kept locked away.
Maybe couple your learning with free online courses, like the aws training at the following url?

https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/

i couldn't imagine learning this stuff from a textbook without exercises and more to do.

at least the videos here talk about examples, and build a context by talking about types of tools you might use, how to use them, etc.

i started looking into the intro to Data Science course thing, and damn -- i had no idea -- i was completely lost -- it was like a foreign language.

so i started flipping back and forth between it and free courses on youtube, wiki and other pages to explain basic statistics, which apparently i do not know/remember. just having multiple different people teach the same concepts in different ways seemed to help a bit, and actually learning and getting more familiar with all the lingo helped (get things to be more interesting).

all that said, i've pretty much decided i am _not_ going to pursue any serious data science-related jobs (i'm looking at the moment).

i _could_ potentially still look into some roles which don't require a mastery and love of all things data science, but i am somewhat confident already that i'm not interested in this stuff, even if i had some magical practice-exercise world to help keep things interesting/practical.

so maybe that's a non-answer? that is, don't do it, don't worry about it, don't stay motivated, and don't keep studying boring stuff -- like is too short. go thru all the textbooks at least once to get familiar, then start diving down on just the topics you seem to actually care about.

and/or use a Pomodoro timer. i sometimes use the following Chrome extension to plow thru various boring content in short bursts, then reward myself somehow after:

One of the keys for me is to treat the interaction like a task, with a plan that you stick to, and to avoid being in the moment or thinking a lot about the big picture.

Then you can just do the simple (but not easy) work of softly explaining a difficult situation. Like an actor in a movie.

If you start to think about "if this goes to court I'll be ruined!" or "I can't believe I wasted 3 months of my life for these jerks" it becomes really difficult.
Why is Apple referencing CVE-2021-30938 and CVE-2021-30987 in their listing of security updates when they are not searchable in the National Vulnerability Database?

Astute observation. It is common for people to live life with "maps" that worked well early on but now work very poorly.

Most models outside the US would not work for the entire US, perhaps a few cities. Also, it doesn't seem possible to have more than 10 supermarkets within 10 minutes of your walking distance. They would have to be next door to each other. Of course, I'm thinking about this in the context of where I've lived in the US.

It would take me 3 minutes just to walk out of my apartment complex, and another 5 to get to the supermarket right next door to the apartments.

What you have as a supermarket in your country must be different than what we have here in the US: Kroger, Albertson's, SafeWay, Von's, etc... These are very large buildings that take up a lot of property.

If we have a choice between a safer technology and a more toxic and deadlier technology, why should we pick our battle and continue to use the more deadlier? It is more dangerous to live near a coal plant than a nuclear plant. That people perceive the risk to be the opposite is a problem of perception.

It may be surprising but I don't directly like nuclear. If there exist a non-fossil fuel solution that is safer or cheaper than we should use that. My interest is strictly against the continuation of fossil fuels, especially when there exist safer alternatives today. Countries that are rich and stable should not be burning toxic chemicals for heat and energy, and yet all of them still do just to save a bit of money or to avoid upsetting voters.

Burn fossil fuels for heat and electricity, and lets be scared of all that spooky nuclear. This has been the dominant culture in energy politics for almost all of Europe, and it is only in very recent time that the wind might start to change. Before safe technologies can be invented, the first step is to address that culture. Even if nuclear was made perfect safe with no failure points, as long people still choose a more deadly source for energy then it won't make a difference.

I don't think it's this black and white. 'Candide' makes a good argument against the other side of the coin, toxic optimism or whatever you want to call it. Horrible things absolutely do happen and ignoring this doesn't make things better.

Maybe the problem is an inappropriate amount of faith. Not in the religious sense of the word, but as in confidence in external things. The optimists have far too much, the cynics have far too little. Maybe we should look to the mean.

Having no faith at all offers up a breeding ground for corruption on both personal and institutional level. Having too much obscures it if it's already there.

> Your only moral obligation in life is to make this decision for yourself: Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be good?

Often the question that should be asked is "why aren't you doing the things you know you should do?" Most people already know what is good, yet they do other things instead out of sheer momentum of habit, or because they don't realize they had an option.
>1. Have bootloader unlock available via official channels. If you are in the 1% with a supported phone variant, congratulations. Service box unlocks, while often possible unofficially, rarely result in a critical mass of developers that's needed for the next step.

Untrue for most of the phones on XDA, S3 was the most popular android phone and came locked.

>2. Have a ROM ready to go. If lucky, it'll be Lineage OS. If less lucky, some unofficial build of Lineage OS with potentially some hardware not supported (but there's hope!). If you are really unlucky, the phone is so unpopular that a ROM developer hasn't taken enough interest in it to produce a usable ROM.

Luck to me is more than LOS, its the bare minimum, but I have gotten unlucky with non popular phones. Not hard to look at roms when you see if you should root or install custom bootloader.

>3. Flash the ROM, keeping all idiosyncrasies of the particular hardware in mind. Hope you got the right partition table/kernel/bootloader/ fragile fragment, because if you flash the one meant for GEX5546ab on a hardware that corresponds to GEX5546cb, you just killed your phone. Run through contingency procedures for unbricking the phone in case you need them.

You could just run Halium to run Linux with all drivers, or use chroot to have linux in it too. Safety that existed since 2012 prevented me from ever having a single issue like that, and I never bricked a phone with over 20 flashes.

>4. Congratulations. You now have a firmware that works better than the factory OS, but they also happens to potentially not support small things like Bluetooth or the camera blobs. You may get support in 2-3 months, hopefully. Your secure enclave keys are also gone, so bank apps will be suspicious and Netflix will refuse to serve higher-quality content.

This was occasionally true before 2017. All new phones have mainline linux support.
https://www.computerworld.com/article/3306443/what-is-projec...
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-project-mainline-modu...

Basically, if you spend 10 minutes looking up relevant information, buy a popular phone with good support and you will face 0 problems. You are making a mountain out of a molehill.

I used to make people cookies and sometimes candy. I'd try to have at least 4-5 varieties, individually wrapped at home, with rules: No nuts, no candy outside of chocolate chips, and most of the doughs would freeze well. I'd often include one new-to-me cookie, chocolate chips, snickerdoodles, brownies, and a colorful-but-plain sugar cookie.

They aren't fancy or anything, but they scale up well and folks will look forward to it.

That's the entire point? The functions don't exist because it's supposed to be lightweight.

If you're finding that you need 20+ plugins to add features then I've got news for you, you're looking for an IDE that has all these built in by default.

I blame Sony. They pushed expensive HDMI 2.1-compatible TVs and receivers alongside the PS5, strongly implying that without a 2.1-compatible living room then you might as well be playing your PS5 through a black-and-white TV.

Of course the PS5 can't really exploit any of the features of HDMI 2.1, and then it turned out that most/all 2.1-compatible receivers and TVs have glaring errors and incompatibilities that render them effectively useless.
Thanks for this, it is quite eye opening and id love to work for clients like that.
While I generally agree with your sentiment, I find the windmill example a bit lacking. Two thoughts:

(a) Wind mills _are_ relics from the past. They were replaced with [FOTM mills] as soon as better alternatives became available (probably during the industrial revolution?).

(b) Wind mills themselves are only the pinnacle of what was possible at that time and as [FOTM mills], they have replaced other types of mills (ox- or hand-driven) that came before them.

Still, your point stands, software can be build to last the test of time. I "maintain" two (tiny) Haskell libraries [0] that each do one very specific thing. And those have been basically unchanged since I wrote them five years ago.

Same here. Sounds interesting though - I'll keep an eye on it!
Not dismissing your point, but you may be hitting at words that have ambiguity when translated. I am not a german speaker but would it be grammatically correct to say "Ich bin CDUer"? From my elementary school german it does not feel right.

On the other hand you can perfectly say "Ich bin christdemokrat" and here you are back to the American case with political support equaling identity.

An equivalently polarized country, Poland, does not have PiS supporters saying they are "Jestem PISowcy"(I am a Piser) or "Jestem POsy")(I am a POer). According you our theory I would expect Polish to identify themselves as written above.

In Portuguese, party names are also mostly abbreviations, and people will just say "sou do PS"(i am from PS/I am a PSer) for actual militants as well as supporters. This would hint at identity and support being the same. As a Portuguese i can tell you Portugal is outstandingly homogeneous and not polarized. This would falsify your theory as well as you would expect conflating support with identity would reflect polarization.
Ah, the famed super-progressive Clinton administration…

Yes, there are occasional exceptions where you don't have to repeat or replicate the experiments reported in a paper to verify them. But that is very much the exception.

Generally you are expected to explain what you did in enough detail that the reader can replicate your experiment. If you're fitting a protein model to X-ray diffraction data, you aren't expected to include all the other protein models you considered that didn't fit, or explain to the reader your procedure for generating protein models, but you are expected to explain how you measured the fit to the X-ray diffraction data (with what algorithms or software, etc.) so that the reader can in theory do the same thing themself.
