Maybe on some browsers. I've MITM my connections on Firefox for a very long time and have never run into anything related to transparency logs. There must be some setting I have disabled in the browser. The only way I can tell that the cert is not legit is looking at the fingerprint and the only sites I run into issues with are the few still using HPKP. I've never used Chrome. Maybe Chrome checks transparency logs and submits violations?
I grew some last Spring but have been too chicken since to try them. They're dried, but I don't know if they're dried enough. Does anyone know if there's any additional risk if they've gotten at all rotten?
There are innovations which feed back on themselves, usually involving greater precision or density. Microprocessors are the cononical case, where reducing the size of transistors reduces distances, energy requirements, heat management, and increases (to the square) component density enabling more capacity in the same volume.

The picture becomes rapidly less impressive when we look at where that processing goes, in many cases much of it is consumed with processing that's not directly related to useful output, though one area that has benefitted greatly has been usability: a computer user used to be a very highly skilled and trained position, now infants and those with severe cognitive or other impairments can make productive use of computers --- a lot of processing power goes into simply expanding the potential user-base.

(This isn't a slight or dig at who computer users are at present, though I admit some frustrations with how this transforms mass-market platforms, devices, and software away from power-user capabilities and interests.)

Network-dynamics systems (which microprocessors arguably are) can also see similar types of dynamics, at least over a range of scale.

In many other domains though, the engineering possibility frontier is one of sharply diminishing returns, after even only a fairly trivially small amount of initial progress. Occasionally there are bursts of progress, often as two separte areas of technological develoopment are integrated together, but even that often provides only a brief period of high returns.

What I see lacking is even a rudimentary model of what domains within technology do and do not afford for accelerating returns to scale, or what the bounds and limits of the exceptions might be, or what the actual delivered net benefit of such accelerating returns might be.

It's not a surprise because the localized version of steam done in cooperation with Perfect world, a Chinese publisher, was in development specifically for this purpose, I believe, i.e. the inevitable/planned replacement of foreign with local and fully controlled. Otherwise there wouldn't be a need to do it for Valve.

Not surprising really considering how hard it is to publish a game in China to begin with -- you basically have to have a local company representing you, and they usually take 80-90% of your profits, that's on top of the the 30% share that stores take, and go through an extensive bureaucratic process, with various forms of censorship of course, and even then there is no guarantee that you will be allowed to publish.

China tries and succeeds at playing the globalization game in a way that everyone else ends up dependent on them, but not the other way around. And the global corporations are stampeding over each others heads to betray all the principles there still are in the west for that sweet sweet access to the giant Chinese market, for the time being they are still allowed to that is.

You're assuming it's the scientists making these grand claims. Unfortunately it's often the case the scientists will make some small claim with lots of caveats, a university press officer will hype it up, the media will then take that and make it into the most attention grabbing headline they can.
This is great advice, I often use programming to distract myself from some pain or other. It can be a useful tool but can also become a long-term avoidance which isn't healthy.
In every other country you show them your passport, you write your signature and you pay a deposit - done.

In China you either need to go through an agency that have something similar to "The Negro Motorist Green Book" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Negro_Motorist_Green_Book), or you need to speak Chinese, convince the reception that they don't need a certificate they believe they're legally required to have, convince the reception to call the owner who will no doubt repeat a foreigner is not allowed, then you need to contact the police to convince the owner, if the police agree that a certificate is required then you need to convince the police that they don't know their own laws, convince them to call the Provincial Foreign Affairs Bureau.. that's what the person in your blogpost has been doing. She even told the police to give her their badge numbers so she could file an official complaint. That person is certainly living on the edge.

Even if it's technically legal, then surely the end result will be the same - 9/10 hotels and apartments will refuse foreigners (for the apartments I rented then everything was done on paper, I doubt they have the booking system mentioned in the blogpost - not sure if all hotels use the same since I have never walked behind the desk and looked at their computer.. and they probably wouldn't allow it if I asked) because who in their right mind want to spend several hours and likely get the police involved just so they can rent a room for 200rmb.
As an average Chinese citizen right now:

- You cannot travel abroad (no passport issued for average citizens, except for those that study/work abroad)

- You cannot go beyond China's intranet legally (VPN is technically illegal in China). VPN services keep getting slowed/banned.

- You cannot transfer much money out of country legally (50k limit a year, but
you end up going to bank 10+ times just to be able to transfer 10k)

- You cannot watch Spiderman, BTS, squid game, porn and many many more things legally

- You have very little rights as LGBT

- You have to work 9-9-6. Which is why many citizens are lying flat (not working/pursuing marriage)

- You are constantly watched, monitored, "invited" to police station for tea, banned for posts that contain any words that are on the growing banned list

- You should not get rich (1/3 of billionaires have died or disappeared). The state discourages showing off wealth

- You have little recourse as a woman who is abused by men in power

- You are constantly subjugated to random mass covid testing, standing hours outside in the cold

- Oh and there's the yearly flood + shoddy buildings + crashing economy + crashing real estate + aging workforce + factory jobs leaving + dictatorship

Certainly the worst of it, but even if you pass the untrusted data as a discrete arguments you're still vulnerable to parameter injection.

Let's say, for example, that you're running ["find", USER_SUPPLIED_PATH, "-type", "f"]. If the user supplies "-delete" as the path, the resulting behaviour would not be as intended.
Correct. The government has a spending target, let's say 56% of GDP (that is taxes, how much you can borrow from creditors, and how much money printing you can afford).

Then they divide that money in categories, and it turns out IT industrial policy got allocated that much money, which they divide into projects.

In this project, they build a comittee, which decides the best is to subsidise cool sounding initiatives by well connected, politically correct groups.

Top to bottom government spending that goes wasted in politically connected groups that give nothing back to society.
Yes, but it looks like that sort of events (where additionally you have to evacuate rather than shelter inside your apartment) seem to be exceedingly rare, given that lack of a second stairwell has not been a problem at all in several Western countries.

Not speaking Chinese is probably a benefit, because what you don't know can't hurt you. I speak fairly fluent Mandarin, and have overheard a lot of very open racist and xenophobic sentiments expressed in conversations around me when the people presumably assumed i couldn't understand what they were saying.

It is true that people in China tend to be fairly polite, although when it blows up it tends to go straight to 11. (I saw a lot of this happening between police and residents during the coronavirus lockdowns.) But just because people are polite, don't assume that means they're not bigots. In some parts of the country, particularly amongst more affluent people, there is a sort of attitude that foreigners should be treated with kid gloves, which is thoroughly degrading.

> but something like a library to make directory structure

As others comments point out, doing this well is subtle and tricky. This is absolutely the kind of thing that individual teams ought not have to maintain their own copies of.

Agree the best solution would be for this to be baked into the language, or failing that a well-known OSS library.

But if you don't have either, a shared company library is better than the duplication IMO. It does require a company culture that's able to invest in infrastructure, but I think you need that, especially if you're working with languages like C that don't come with as many "batteries included".
Is it really? Based on micromort stats in the U.S., walking and biking places is way way more deadly than driving a car per km. unless you drive everywhere while living downtown (which sounds unlikely), there is gonna be some sweet spot where you need to drive but don't live too far from where you need to go.

Please provide one example in this comments section. Ideally many, since an alleged "flood" cannot be composed of a single drop, but a single example would also suffice. Please don't refer obliquely to some "situation", be specific.

The example must convince me that the person you're quoting is indeed engaging in "activism" for the CCP and not merely expressing their opinion.

Otherwise, if you can't provide these examples, may I kindly suggest what you're encountering is the normal range of opinions in the internet, only this time it's about a subject you feel strongly about?

I've changed my mind or improved (I hope for good) in some areas:

- Politics: The importance of freedom and why politics tries to change the meaning of freedom to make you less free.

- Health: The importance of physical activity (at least walking or a couple of push-ups) to your mind.

- Technology: I realized this year, that AI explosion could be nearer.

- Life: Whatever happens, you must try to do things if you want your current life to change.

- Life: Don't compare yourself with others, we all have different origins and life experiences that make us unique.

- Relations: Don't pay too much attention to what others are saying. Just listen to the right people.

The last one is something I've been carrying for quite some time, but you know, always you learn more.

> In both cases, the theft is enacted by individual agents and protected by the overarching structures.

No. Civil forfeiture is unfortunately the law of the land. Individual police officers are not responsible for domestic law or department policy.

Employee wage theft is emphatically not the law of the land. Managers and employers who do this are committing a crime. They are responsible for their own actions because those actions are not sanctioned by law or required by policy.

Additionally, in the case of wage theft, the bad actor often benefits directly if they are the owner of the establishment or, as a manager, they receive a bonus related to cost savings. By contrast, civil forfeiture benefits the government, not the individual officer.
Same here. I can read people but the lack of atention and the fast switching between discussions is putting people of. Also big problems connecting with people. I just dont answer or engage socially to the point that people find me antisocial.

Another problem is the energy I have and reflect upon others. They just think I am agitated or nervous. But inside i am super cool….thats just me ….. btw adderal helps a lot but still ….do i want to be someone who is only workable with medicine?
If it solves a specific need of a large company, they may decide to fund the developer to maintain it and tweak it for their purposes.

If it only works for small companies or end users, maybe it can be dual-licensed or mixed-licensed, offering the basic software for free but selling closed-source add-ons for expanded functionalities.
If the alternative is a different key for every door, yes. There's no reason it has to be strictly one key for everybody, but I don't need separate keys for most of the things I do online. I'm ok having my bank take one key and all my streaming services take a different one.

Turning stairs into ramps doesn't change anything about this. The point isn't the stairs, it's the exits. We just haven't figured out how to have entrances and exits in multi-story buildings that don't involve stairs or elevators. I don't think chutes and ladders would be safer for the elderly.

I can't tell if this is an ideological thing or not. There's a lot of states out there to vehemently dislike. But it's always this creepy strain of cold war torch-bearing that is so many people's pet cause. For the record, I think almost all states are on the exact same level of hateable, as a concept.
I don't mind the assumptions. I don't think we are unfairly characterized.

Just an artifact of the whole UI being pixel mapped graphics onto buttons/labels/canvas mimicking the calculator. I imagine Tk, Xaw, or Motif is under there, you just can't see it. The TiEmu one appears to be GTK.
It's even used in TikTok's streaming software, which is the highest usage platform on the internet.

Unfortunately it's been used against GPL.

It can be a problem if something can access your password database while it is unlocked or if you have a weak db password. In addition to keeping your system and applications patched and using least privileges and all the other usual best practices you can also keep the database closed when not using it.

To venture a few theoretical mitigation turtles down, one could keep a string in their head that they type in before pasting the password from their database meaning that the database only has part of the password. Some might consider that too much friction and some might see that as a fun prank for the password database vendors that theoretically work for intelligence agencies.

The account which did the change has this description:

Combined with the nonsense README change, this looks like a bot mis-use accident.

Edit: to clarify, in no way am I saying that this is a "honest mistake" which does not deserve scrutiny.
It looks like Microsoft developed this all along. Yes, git keeps history, but it's unethical and ugly to begin with.

Also, I'm not sure you can just change the copyright information, and change the history of the code like that.

However, this is typical of Microsoft. Like DOS, like Windows App Store / Packaging ripoff (they asked the guy some questions, sherlocked his software, even didn't thank him later), etc.
On the other hand he knew we were all just carbon and that morality is exclusively a weapon for the living.

On the other hand, you have the man who built several of the biggest, which were also in many cases the first, successes in several different areas of engineering: Isambard Kingdom Brunel[0]. He built the largest ocean-going vessel of his time (the Great Western and the even bigger Great Eastern), the first tunnel under a navigable river (the Thames Tunnel), the longest bridge of its time (the Clifton Suspension Bridge), as well as little things like the Great Western Railway. He was a pretty inspiring person, and the biography his son wrote of him is excellent reading[1].

I think OP is talking about some kind of "charity tourism" that's happening. I think Europe has some effects like this, too, where people prefer to go to Africa to "help some children" while they could be "doing good" by getting active in local organisations. No need to travel some thousand kilometres for that.

I think the real issue here is the lack of distinction in the rest of the codebase between trusted and untrusted input. There should be only a few, clearly identified functions that you do pass unsanitised user input into.
Bacterial infection in shrooms typically smells like feet. Naturally they smell a bit like farts when you're eating then (but are mostly odorless when dried proper). I'd avoid them if the former and tolerate them if the latter.

They bruise blue (and it's hard to pick them without bruising the stems) which can look nearly black when dried. This can make them look moldy when they aren't. If they're actually moldy I'd toss them.

When I used to grow I settled on letting them sit on a grate with a fan blowing at them for a few days (the air is dry here, ymmv), then I'd store them with desiccant packets. They should be crispy like potato chips, no mushyness.

As for trepidation, that's understandable. I'd start with a super light dose (.5 g) at first just to see what you're dealing with. I'm glad I've had potent trips in the past (I usually find 3.5 g is enough, but it'll vary by batch and by human), but these days I usually dose lightly.
