Depending on what the business is, some companies will refuse to do business without it.

For example, IBM only hires contractors with a specific amount of liability insurance. And it makes sense - you're working with them on their property, but since you're not an employee, you aren't covered under their liability insurance.
He first say that google servers are decentralized, but after his explanations, the google servers are more like distributed than decentralized.
I used to be a "wait and see" person until I actually took a hard and critical look at a lot of things in the crypto space. It seems evident now that most of it is just poor reinventions of existing financial services, and in some cases (NFTs) just abject scams.
Everything has a cost/benefit analysis.

The waste from COVID testing is a rounding error on the damage we're doing to the environment, and it's got a lot more societal benefit than, say, the plastic wrapper on a banana (https://twitter.com/flybyday63/status/1006650858505949190).
I'm sure builders would struggle without diggers and cranes, and doctors would struggle without electricity. But why would I purposefully do away with useful modern inventions just so I can remain compitent without them?
All that a breeder does is that it consumes U238 in addition to U235 (in much higher quantities than a non-breeder, of course). I don't quite see how this changes the amount of actual waste per unit of energy generated. Which means that a breeder will decrease the amount of uranium that you need to mine, but that's about it. Your "soup" of fission products will be very similar between Pu239 and U235 fission, so what you're saying about "what's left [having] relatively short half life" works for current non-breeder reactors as well. And activation products I imagine are almost the same. (Why wouldn't they be?)
So… Fun story about how I submitted semi false COVID paperwork in order to gain entry into Italy.

In September my wife and I went on a delayed vacation to Italy. At the time they required Covid tests to be completed no more than three days before arrival (we were flying all day Tuesday). {Sidebar… In Italy it took us 15 minutes to get Covid tests with no scheduling. Walked right in and on our way. No wonder they thought a couple days was enough time.}

We scheduled Covid tests for Sunday and could only do PCR since no one was offering rapid tests within Ohio - or at least, nearby.

As we pull up to the window, we are told that, since it is Sunday and the next day is memorial day the lab will get our samples on Tuesday and we’ll have our results on Wednesday (remember, we arrive on Tuesday).

So we declined testing and happened to find the last two Binax Now non-proctored self-tests in the area. We take the tests and both test negative. We submit a negative result to the Binax website (no one has checked anything. - I think it was a literal “not positive” checkbox), get confirmation emails, and upload them to the United website.

They take hers but declined mine for being taken too far outside of the three day window… even though we took them and uploaded same day.

I tried two more times, declined two more times.

So I think… My birthday was a few days before we took the test, I wonder if the automated systems or screeners are picking up on my birthday and rejecting it.

*So I take the email into Mac’s preview app, drag a white box over my date of birth, save, upload.*

Success.

No one stops us at United, no one stops us at customs, no one questions us at all.

After we arrived in Rome I realized I could have literally found a copy of the email on the Internet, put my name and test time in, and uploaded.

And that’s how we got to go on vacation to Italy.
I have a 2.75 yr old daughter. I’m amazed at the mental growth at this age. Anyone have good recommendations for pop science books on toddler psychology? Another post mentioned the author Michel Tomasello.

I’m curious how punishment and corrective behavior is interpreted. Theres a lot of situations I don’t know how to handle. Recently my daughter has been spitting up juice, including on me, because she thinks it’s funny. When something like this happens I give her a light thump on the head with my finger and a stern “no, that’s bad”. But she doesn’t like it and starts crying. She then runs to her mom who then hugs her and says it will be OK. I feel like this is a lose-lose situation. She needs to learn this behavior isn’t acceptable but it makes me the bad guy and mommy the nice one.
i.e. Europe does not care if 24 million Democratic Chinese are suddenly forced into an authoritative society against their will as long as they receive their cheap goods?
Nice survey, with more recent cites.

I don't recall any of these style guides recommending validation. For any discipline.

Kinda drives me nuts.

I've always tested my work. Despite all my experience and intent, working with talented people, initial releases are always absolutely shredded by user (audience) feedback.

I've done tech writing, speeches, user interfaces, diagrams, charts, press releases, support call scripts, blah, blah, blah. It all gets tested.

Gods, I miss the days when we'd at least pretended to do QA/QC.
Yes, I'm sorry I thought my second sentence was so stupid it would not be taken seriously...
The legal/ethical question is important, but I was just stressing OP's point about the disparity between bug bounties and what the actual exploits are worth. IANAL, but for the specific cases I mentioned (nation states and vendors who work with them), I think the legal aspect would be very different from selling it to regular black market cybercriminals (I used the generic "black market" in the first part of the original comment but I was mostly talking about those two cases).
They might also just be overly optimistic about when they can actually break 256-bit encryption, or they're thinking very long term.

There are rules for all road users in most countries. Rules for pedestrians govern where and when they may cross roads, and usually prohibit walking in lanes designated for faster moving vehicles. Busier or faster streets tend to have rules that impose more separation between pedestrians, cyclists, and cars, and blame for a collision usually falls on whoever violates them.

This is partly for safety of course, but it is also intended to support throughput. People and goods do not flow easily in cities where trucks move at walking speeds.
A few have told me they were from Pakistan when I asked them questions like why such a high percentage of the country defecates in the streets.
Considering the old school trope of the 70s-late 90s of the telemarketers calling during dinner time, it being a real person doesn't mean they weren't someone trying to sell something.
I used ST 2 and 3 for almost a decade. A couple of months ago I switched to VSCode.

Yes it's slower and clunkier but the extensions ecosystem is worth it. And also features like intellisense, unused vars, automatic updates of imports on file renames, and a long etc of QOL features ST doesn't have interest or capacity in implementing.
I saw something interesting the other day. This company called me twice within a few minutes. The first call came from "+1 844-###-####", but it was automatically blocked as spam by Android. The second call was from the same number, but it was formatted as "+844#######". That one wasn't blocked.

I wonder if formatting the number this way allows them to circumvent spam lists, but doesn't trip anti-caller ID spoofing mechanisms?

Exploratory thought provoking, or thought-jamming mental static? I'd call it the second masquerading as the first; perhaps through honest confusion on the author's part; never having been exposed to the actual examples of mind opening writing.

Apples iOS contact whitelist (silence unknown callers) fixes this.

I’d request two features.

- Some API that allows apps to get through (like door dash)

- Ability to disable for a brief period (30min? A day?) when expecting a call from an unknown number.

This is a far better solution than the blacklists that hardly work.

Wait, the browser allows random http connections to localhost from JS fetched from any domain??

Edit: after reading tfa, it appears: no it can't , but it may due to browser security vulnerabilities.
Sorry I'm a bit late to this, but those simulations take 10s - 100s of millions of Cpu hours (i.e. costs of millions - 10s of millions of dollars), so that's not practical.

Yes.

Not all of them, but enough that I don't think messing with them is morally justifiable.
Of course you can. The problem is you almost certainly won't end up with the original image unless the ML tool has been trained with this original image (and even then it might not necessarily appear as an output). There's so many different images it could create from a smudge that there's no reason why the original one should be preferred.
It's a glitch.
Too bad Abby Hoffman can't write Steal This COVID Test as the follow-up to Steal This Urine Test
Weird! I wonder why there's such a difference in our experiences.

I also don't think making it psychologically hurt is going to make any difference, especially not when you're asking them why their fellow countrymen shit in the streets. Based on what I've heard and read, a lot of them justify their work by villainizing us in their eyes. Which isn't unfair! We're vastly richer than them, and they don't see any particular problem in what they see as being a Robin Hood-like character. Insulting and abusing them just further justifies their actions in their mind.

I used to try to waste their time as well, but after I postulatede my prison-work theory, I no longer do that - they don't have a choice, and it's cruel to put them through that.
We still use Skia for software rendering, OpenGL is only enabled by default on macOS. I've written about the OpenGL implementation here: https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/hardware-accelerat...
Why would you occasionally lift heavy weights, only to put them back down, repeatedly? But this activity is viewed as beneficial by so many that there's an industry providing for it.
If you have control of any IP address anywhere (doesn't have to be on your router), you can forward a port.

If you don't have any control of an IP address, you cannot be connected to through software that is not "special" (i.e., software that only uses IP to connect). As a matter of logic.
So, lock the kids up during winter? Where I live, the roads are barely walkable during winter. Public transport is 8km away.

Cars with proper winter tires is far easier to keep steady, than a bike. Especially if windy.

Most teens out here drive tractors to get around. Personally, I'd prefer if Finland went the Swedish route here - an old Volvo with limited speed is still less dangerous than a large tractor.
First anecdote that comes to mind is my local pizza place’s buggy mobile web UI, with generic HTML inputs for all their fields that make typing in my phone and email a pain due to autocorrect kicking in. They also shove their app down your throat on the web ui, and the app somehow manages to be even more unusable!
I like it. It seems though that you’re defining a strawman argument. Perhaps though this is slightly different in that the opponents argument is completely avoided?

Cloudman argument:

An intentionally avoided proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than the opponents real argument.
This is fascinating, thanks for sharing. I noticed that I get a lot of spam calls from “Russia” (country code 7) because my local number is in an area code that starts with 7. I figured that the caller totally screwed up their caller ID. I find it hilarious that the callers are trying and failing to appear as if they are in my local area.
I'm thankful my phone number's area code is from a different part of the country. All the spoofers use the old area code thinking they are tricking me into picking up. But I know that no one from where I lived in 2006 is calling me.
Well tutanota is a small company with around two handful employees afaik, I'd assume their budget for maintaining their blog is very limited. Obviously they use their own media channels to portrait themselves as positive as possible, nothing wrong with that in my eyes. It's not that they were spreading any lies or so

Removing the v2 code from clients and falsely stating v2 onions aren't valid URLs is lying to users to protect them from a potential future threat. But that protection comes at the cost: the destruction of the entire 15 year history of communities and interlinking and search indices for onionland. To protect the community they have destroyed it.

A v3 community might come in the future, and I hope it will, but right now v3 .onions are pretty much just bots and a few big names that have created new v3 services. The rest is botnet v3 .onions.

What I want, what everyone in the tor project comment thread on the depreciation post wants, is for v2+v3. Not just v2. Even now most tor relays support v2 and will until the tor project puts out a version consensus flag that blocks older tor. But they can't do that any time soon because most tor infrastructure still supports v2.
That seems backwards to me. Wouldn't big carriers be the ones who need more time due to the complexity and size of their systems? Shouldn't small carriers, like the ones you described, be able to roll this out almost overnight?

I want my phone to give me the option to only let authenticated calls through and give everybody else a busy signal. Today, the ham:spam ratio of my phone is worse than my email.
FWIW my next project on AWS will almost certainly be using graviton instances.

> Have you ever taken a 30 minute bike ride over ice-and-snow-covered roads, in -20C temperatures, in the dark, on roads with no street lights or sidewalks (the sun sets at 2:00pm)?

This is exactly the circular problem that everyone in Sweden always points at: the roads are too dangerous and poorly developed for people to cycle on safely - therefore the answer is... more cars driving unsafely on the roads, making them too dangerous for cyclists.

It's a car-culture here. Nothing will ever happen to change that.

Incidentally, anyone romanticizing this as some sort of grassroots, badass rebellious movement should bear in mind that around big cities like Stockholm, parents buy their teenage kids Porsches to be converted to EPA-traktors.[0]

Whether it is 'silly', 'tragic', 'horrible' or something else usually depends on the stakes, not the activity.

It is certainly drama, and at least by volume, I'd say all of the above are usually silly.
N.B. the date on that PDF is two years ago - it is describing a completely different regulatory change which occurred some time ago.
If you're going to attempt a reductio ad absurdam, the end position actually needs to be absurd. For drugs, I would assume legalization is the median position in this forum. Guns are more complicated, but there are definitely a lot of posters that think they should be legal.
Even editors that automatically put extra “ to close a string or ) when I hit ( is problematic in my mind. My workflow means that I often put “ or ( after the editor feel like I should, so I end up with ) in wrong places. It drives me nuts.
Close, but no cigar! The Connecticut compromise certainly did include additions about slavery, but in the end the 3/5ths compromise REDUCED the population count for slaves states, decreasing their proportional power. States like Delaware, with small populations were in favor of it.
If I had to choose between a great architect and a mediocre builder or a master builder and a mediocre architect, I would choose the former to build my house. I say that as an (UX) architect :)
Plans are worth little if you don't have the right people to translate them into reality with the right quality - and in my experience that involves more than painting by numbers. Imo great UI developers are essential for building great UI experiences.
You use stablecoins like Magic Internet Money (MIM), which is linguistic re-appropriation of words or artifacts that were previously used in a way disparaging of entire crypto payment group.
No, UPnP is for forwarding ports for incoming connections. NAT itself is for outgoing connections.
Nothing.

We've abandoned all big science, technology and engineering projects in favour of comfort and entertainment.

I'll say this for the USSR, they had big goals at least. That's all gone now because people don't want it. They want a slightly larger house or a quicker rate of change of fashion or more extravagant sports contests (eg the Iraq war 3)
Can you post the page?
> experts on Twitter seem very very worried and I’m more inclined to go with them (and the exponential function) than with my antivaxxer friend’s posts on Facebook.

I wouldn’t give a lot of heed to either of those groups, they’re both avenues where nuance is discarded in favor of fervor for the sake of memes. You’ve chosen panic, as I suspect your party of choice has, as your fervor of choice, but that doesn’t mean everyone sees the same fire you do requiring the largest of firehoses whose dousing will cause all sorts of collateral damage.

There is more at play than pure epidemiology, though that is for sure a factor for consideration.
Haha, ever heard of winter tires? Or winter driving instruction courses? Which btw are mandatory at least in Finland
> a simple yes/no output has value

The line is a boolean indicator. Either it's there or it isn't. People are dumb as rocks but come on, what's the next step ? Shipping a doctor with every test ? We maybe need a bluetooth sensor in masks because apparently people don't know if they should use them above or under their nose....

I'm pretty sure our brains are more than calibrated enough to discern basic shapes and colors.

These tests are an insult to our intelligence.
If I'm allowed to guess, Tor Browser has Meek built in and it includes a few services hosted on Microsoft cloud. As far as I understand it, it can be quite expensive consider the total amount of traffic those Meek server must relay.

However, I wouldn't consider it "censorship-resistance".

From reading their Technical Overview document, I got the impression that they put a lot of faith on Domain Fronting which might not be a good thing

> ... the censor cannot block the broker without blocking all of Google, or all of Amazon, hence collateral freedom.

Yeah, true ... true ...

I would say what all animals naturally work towards: survival and to perpetuate the species.
In the case of Apple, I would presume that they directly invest under very favourable terms in the technologies, the manufacturing equipment and the fabs to lock in a price. You don't raise the price on the bank giving you your loans.
Client-side search is secure if the client downloads all the metadata, and then nothing else based on the result. The access pattern is simply which and how many encrypted chunks are selected. If they are selected based on a search result there could be a statistical correlation.

Not that every leakage is critical, for example if you write chunks when the user uploads a file the client just leaked that an upload happened, it also leaked how much data was written. Depending on the use case this might not lead to sensitive information leakage. It however might, for example if a hospital has an app that let's you download information about your disease an adversary could leak which disease you have without compromising the encryption.

The most advanced technique of hiding which chunks are accessed, or whether they are written or read is called ORAM. ORAM makes chunk accesses indistinguishable, however this technique has a logarithmic overhead, it fails to hide how many chunks are accessed, and it is also hard to design a search protocol on top of it that does not create patterns in the ORAM accesses, which can be also analyzed.

A practical solution is a search protocol that tries to decouple the results from the accesses.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/356077294_Access_Pa...

This paper is just an idea, I'm designing a different protocol that is more efficient, but requires persistent client cache, which is just becoming a reality for web clients.
