On the contrary, it is extremely clear what counts as a faint line. If its different from the white background, in any way or shape, the test is positive. Simple as that. It couldn't actually be more simple, but someone had to over-engineer and forget about security during the process.

Stupid question: Why would someone want to fake a positive Covid test?

(I mean, I understand why someone would want to fake a negative test, and I can understand why someone would want to hack this device.)
Qwant seems like its entire purpose is to siphon money from the French government by tapping into their anti-US tech hysteria.
Color film is based on silver halides but has built-in dye couplers and filters to represent the color details. Any color film developed with chemicals intended for black and white film will come out as black and white film.

In some territories.

Though I would note breaking DRM to format shift content isn't legal in basically any functioning country in the world.
Am I right in understanding that this is somehow checking every private key on the page against every single wallet with money?

How can it do that so fast?
Congrats on the launch!
Your implementation of sharing from the whitepaper scares me.
The second that the private key travels anywhere it's no longer safe in my opinion.
This is why Signal uses the double ratchet and 1password has their own sharing. Unless I missed something.
I was the same. But for several years now I use IOS maps exclusively and have long since deleted Google Maps.

It feels great having google completely out of my life.
Closed source is OK, just descript it on you resume, there will be a company interest in.
life repeats itself in different scales (tech does too). First was the cell, then the colony, organisms, cities, countries etc. right now we are building some mold in one of the planets with water. Next will probably be some interstellar or galaxy-wide organism.
Right, that's understandable, but many folks prefer to not rename files.

I would like to be able to just point to a file and tell Plex what that file is so it "knows" (puts it in it's database). If it can read/write metadata on the file itself, that would be great too.
128-bit is still absolutely impractical to brute force now or in the foreseeable future. Even 96-bit is questionable, though likely achievable after some time by someone with a lot of money who is able to create a huge farm full of ASICs for the task.

A QC large and stable enough to run Grover's Algorithm would be a problem for symmetric keys and hashes smaller than about 192 bits. Most cryptographers recommend 256-bit or larger for a good margin of safety.

Asymmetric crypto is more complex story.
Throwing this out here since you mentioned it - does anyone else get tons of hangups and temporary frozen windows using Sublime with unsaved files? I’ve always had this on a bunch of different Macs and some Linux machines. I don’t like working around by saving either, sometimes I just want a scratchpad.
Are you sure it was supposed to provide "cover for spies"? AFAIK onion routing was an invention of the US Naval Research Laboratories and was public from the beginning. If you want "spies" to use it, you don't want them connecting to known gateways. High anonymity (simplex) is why number stations are still a thing.
Maybe that's not the case for this specific case, but consider this: https://i.redd.it/t29m67i6hch21.jpg. I personally can't see any number. But people tell me that there is a number here. When I use an app named "Color Blind Pal" with the "shift" function, I can see a 16. I'd like to have something that just tell me the number on the plate and not depend on my vision.
When I was required to use Eclipse, Source Code Pro was my preferred font. In January of 2020, JetBrains (which I've been able to use for the past few years professionally) came out with JetBrains Mono which is quite nice too.

It has ligatures... which I don't enable.

I've found the blog posts on the designs of each to be interesting.

Thanks for your reply. I think your tone was fine. But you went a little astray.
We were just talking about whitespace being promoted to logical operator, which was your interesting psychological point. Now you have unpacked your full set of criticisms. (o:

A couple of things attract additional comment from me:

> With perl you have to add all sorts of junk like "use strict;" and "use warnings;"

You named two things, and you call them junk. Maybe you don't recognise that these statements do toggle functionality in a useful way. Perl can be used effectively as a piped-command language. Perl's notation makes it terse and powerful.

> I don't think anyone would compare Python to C or Java.

But you made an argument from popularity. If popularity is to be taken as a rational, enlightened movement, other very important languages have converged on different notation from Python. (If we are still talking about notation and whitespace.) Python's notation is not the most popular, as much as its evangelists insist. Add Go lang to the bigger group as well.

I think Go will devour all the interpreted languages eventually.

> data science (well, R too)

Yes, in this field (data science may be a marketable construct), C++, SQL, R, Python, and Jupyter play the major role. Other languages may offer more in the future. Folks talk about Julia, for example. Perl's PDL has not been adopted as widely. Of course, once you have data, you can science it with any fast, robust tooling. I often use awk and Perl too.

Do you dislike awk and sed as well? I find that common among Python programmers.

> they're both great languages with several warts.

No language made by monkeys is going to be "perfect". Go fmt and perltidy make more sense than building an ecosystem for a personal preference. We both know that bad code can be written in any language.

I use both languages daily. Python has a better threading story despite the GIL. But I can find better tools that don't have Anaconda-size dependencies. (I cannot easily summarise my contempt for pip).
Note that OpenGL rendering isn't enabled by default. If you've enabled it and it's slower I'd love to find out why, otherwise without it enabled the rendering hasn't changed.
Because we have more efficient ways to lift weights, very few people get paid to do that. So, feel free to lift weights at home, but don’t expect to get a job loading a ship by manual labor.

It’s the same when writing programs: when at home, do whatever you want, but in a job, efficiency is key.

(Back to the subject at hand: I doubt whether ligatures help or hinder much, efficiency-wise)
The NSA leaked its own hacking tools to the internet. Oops.

The US government gave… gave, not leaked, not accidental, deliberately outright gave.. the identities and other personal information of people
who had worked with the US in Afghanistan to none other than the Taliban. Because the Taliban pinkie promised not to slaughter them. Too bad, the Taliban didn’t keep its word.

Let’s not be naïve about the government’s ability or interest in keeping things private.
Except that they aren't taking anything from anyone. It's information. They might be copying it. And you might argue things like privacy count, and I'd be willing to hear your reasoning, but this shouldn't be like magic.

Yeah, someone was silly to pay hard earned money in exchange from useless tokens. It was a gamble. If the useless tokens get stolen, I'm sorry to say, but whoever paid for BTC already lost their wealth in the first place when they converted whatever they had before for it.
It also is highly selective of the documents it publishes - his policy of “radical transparency” didn’t survive the TV deal he signed with Russian state media, and proof that he suppressed whistleblowers evidence of Russian involvement in the Syrian civil war was met with outright retaliatory threats against those who deigned to report on it.
Wow, middle school me would have abused the heck out of this.
>Mask + sunglasses, and you should be effectively anonymous in public.

Until you start looking at things such as height + weight + gait.
Memory bandwidth is the limit, so you can't make it faster than memcpy(). However, copying memory is still faster than these algorithms, аnd it's complicated to make the conversion speed closer to the speed of copying memory.
You're wrong. The reaction to the email and apology from Princeton is proof of that, but there are also very few people here agree with you. I'm not a lawyer or a business man and I read the email as a clear legal threat. I had anxiety just reading it, the same as the OP.

It's clear as day. And if for whatever reason you don't see it that way the rest of the email and the way it's written should set off alarm bells as being a potential scam.
You're assuming the crypto is flawless and forever hard, even with new computational paradigms.

We've shown time and time again that our undefeatable algorithms aren't.

Would you be comfortable if the Blockchain was frozen in time for a hundred years, after which you could withdrawal your balance? Would it be impervious over that time frame?
Agreed, I think we need to change the narrative to get the politicians to "get it". Instead of all the talk about protecting us from __________ (random evil), we need to highlight the consequence of these plans. We need journalists to ask politicians to hand over their unlocked phones with the "promise" that they won't share anything they learn. That is what these backdoors would enable. We need to make them understand the downside because all "save the kids" will always have public support.
First, maybe don't judge yourself too harshly. Sometimes it's OK to go through phases and then get over things. But, I think it's also worth working up your ability to stick to something. When I look back at my own history, I see some patterns. When I stick with things, I usually have routine, community, and a healthy balance in the rest of my life
The crime here would be more along the lines of selling the information that you leave your car unlocked with the keys next to your house.

Why are you so agressive to the comment you're responding to ? Why do you refuse it the benefit of the doubt ?
Yeah but Plex, I believe, also maintains it's own database for the media files. Why can't I just "tell it" the metadata in those cases and leave the filenames as is?
That species of moth doesn’t exist on the American continent but other similar and related ones do, whose range does overlap with that of hummingbirds. For example:

In the US we tend to do this via the regulatory state. Congress delegates to an executive branch agency some broad rules to be applied and updated over time to deal with new situations. Republicans hate it.
Biking, online, and school meetups.

My dad and friends used to do 50 mile round trips on bikes back in the day. I hung out and talked to people online. It was also normal to do things like go home with a friend after school to hang out and have a parent pick you up when they got out of work, or hang out at practices after school. So it's doable but it requires a lot more logistics on the part of the adults, which is why everybody's happy when the kids can drive.
Very easy to see the third one is positive unless you are unwilling to or have an eye issue.
"I don't walk/carry groceries/exercise, instead I drive the car around. If I don't, I can't actually carry heavy stuff because of my weak body, and sure, I may get adapted to that (and may even become healthier in process, meh) but I prefer to drive the car and so I always do." That's a different analogy and it suggests a completely opposite conclusion. Which one of these analogies is correct? Maybe they both are faulty?

P.S. I too wear glasses and you know what? I'd rather be able to see well without having to wear them. Alas, the technology is not yet here (well, it is, but I was told the chances of complications that could leave me completely blind were about 20% so uh, I'd just wear glasses even though they're quite a nuisance to wear with a face mask).
Where does it cost $4 in the EU? That price sounds subsidized. Foreigners in France pay €29 for antigen tests. French citizens pay a much lower regulated price. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20210630-covid-19-test...

In the US, even PCR tests are free with insurance.

Tech debt is a thing for any non-trivial product. The more tech debt, the slower it is to create working increments of a product and the more risky changes are.

I have experienced products of which the development has ground to a halt due to the system having such complex interconnections that every change required everyone in every meeting to assess the impact of a change. The root cause was constantly churning out MVPs with no thought of architecture and no overall management of the product or teams. I was the architect hired to clean up the mess.
This article really irritates me, despite the fact that I broadly agree with the conclusion.

The points on Unicode and wrong substitution feel weak, because there's plenty of valid situations where Unicode isn't displayed "correctly," and plenty of situations where the characters displayed don't match they semantic meaning.

In my opinion, the main reason to avoid ligatures isn't some big moral issue on "correct meaning" or "properly using Unicode." The main issue is that ligatures can cause confusion if the reader doesn't know the ligature (which is most readers).

For what it's worth, I like using font ligatures on my own IDEs. I think they look nice. But I would never choose them for anything displayed for anyone else.

You can use non-standard ports for any protocol, but then they're inferior.

A first-class address+port has to match the protocol, so only one real user per IP.

EDIT:

Also, a home internet connection cannot route thousands of streams simultaneously, so allowing thousands of users one port each does not make sense.

It is always going to be cheaper and more performant to do any kind of forwarding on a rented server in a data center.
So you can conveniently stay fit without limiting your career choices to those involving manual labor.
Oh, I forgot lazy Lisps. But those would probably not be considered "major".

> Alternatively, make letrec wrap the values in thunks.

Aaaand of course I forgot that as well. My bad. So basically full lexical scoping and the presence of lambda should be enough to create cyclic structures, even in the absence of mutability.
It derives the public keys from the private keys and then check these.
Revising and repealing laws is a slow process that take up a lot of legislative resources. Allowing the courts to work in parallel in this way speeds up everything. If the legislature is unhappy with the decisions the court comes to, then they can go in and make changes. If they agree then they don't have to do anything and can focus on other things.

Because they can, or to test security. Also, to get a certificate that they're cured from COVID-19, to avoid social gatherings such as avoiding showing up at work/family or to force work from home.
Remote sensing in this case is listening to the individual sound a key makes when pressed by the victim, and wear on the keys means that frequently used keys (such as 'e' or the space bar) would make a slightly different sound than the other keys, as does the hand/finger position used to press a key.
Cryptocurrencies are fun.
Because, as with all dictionaries except the absolutely massive complete editions, you can only put in so many words (this particular volume has 6,000 entries and is aimed at 7-8 year olds). In a related Guardian article somebody from the OUP says the selection criteria are: "acknowledging the current frequency of words in daily language of children of that age; corpus analysis; acknowledging commonly misspelled or misused words; and taking curriculum requirements into account". That is, times change and the things children are writing and reading about also change; dictionaries tend to follow, not lead.
1. Before multicore got to this PR stage it went through two phases of detailed review by the core team. A summary of this is on November's Multicore Monthly: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-ocaml-november-2021-wi... . The tasks coming out of that which are marked post-MVP will be follow-up PRs before the 5.00 release.

2. That is unclear at the moment. There's a lot of useful history in those commits (which link out to issues and PRs on ocaml-multicore's repo) but at the same time, it also includes a lot of experiments that were ultimately backed out.
One could very similarly argue that the US needs to have a great many things - most of them far, far simpler than a fab - on-shore. Unfortunately, the US seems uncaring. If not oblivious.
Because tor v2 and v3 are not compatible. You can't just make all the links everyone ever made on any site, or entries in any search index, suddenly point to a new URL.

You can announce v2 is going to disappear and say that everyone should try to port what they can, but most don't. Only the big sites and their users actually have any pseudo-continuity through their efforts. And even then all the links stop working.

Because Intel struck back and NVidia managed to punch upwards by an entire node.

The moment TSMC can say "our node makes the king -- start bidding" their margins will expand exactly as you describe. They got close. Very close. Desperate, extreme action by the other players prevented them from fully capitalizing on the trophy. This time.

In truth, the 20% price ramp still reflects a partial victory.
It's pretty tricky to self-administer one of these lateral flow covid tests without reading the instructions. There's a whole sequence of steps - swabbing, mixing the swab in the buffer solution, dropping a set number of drops into the sample window. This device doesn't appear to get rid of any of that complexity - instead adding significant complexity and to the simplest part of the test - look for a line.

Even constitutions only offer very limited protection. There was a recent case in Germany where the government simply ignored the ruling of the supreme court (Federal Constitutional Court).

BTW for an example, here is what the KDE system settings looks like for me when I try to run it using qt5ct in GNOME: https://i.imgur.com/pxEKXye.png

I think we can agree that this is unusable, it also appears that it is attempting to load 3 or 4 themes at the same time which are all conflicting with each other. To me, trying to run KDE apps with a GNOME style or GNOME apps with a KDE style has always been a risky endeavor. Perhaps you got lucky running some apps that played nicely with themes but some apps just don't work at all outside their intended environment because they were not designed to use themes.

It's not up to the ISP. It's on your router. And most consumer home routers support it, or else a newer alternative like NAT-PMP, but you have to have to enable it in the router settings via web browser interface.

Some ISPs don't even give you a real IPv4 address though (they use CGNAT). THEN you have no hope.
