You can do all of that with SIM already. The only restriction placed is by cell providers. You either use roaming feature, or if you use SIM that supposed to use multiple providers (like Google Fi) then it can use multiple networks.

This change is bad for the customer no matter what. It's similar to me to what Verizon had during CDMA days.
I think they inadvertently supported that notion.
None of these arguments are contained to just PhDs and just further propagates that PhDs are somehow special.
Also a good idea to rotate each site password.
I remember back when we were at an intermediate stage of maps when you could type an address into Mapquest and then print out the directions to it and take that stack of paper with you.

Now days you can drop into the middle of almost anywhere on the globe and get mostly accurate on-the-ground directions regardless of if you walk, take public transport or drive. Made navigating Tokyo so much easier!
Is there a straightforward way to use attestations to gate automatic updates?

For example, it would be nice to delay automatic updates of WordPress plugins and themes until after there is more than just the uploader's identity as a single point of failure guaranteeing that the update is genuine.

(Obviously the perfect way to do things given enough developer resources is to review all code yourself before installing manually, but it would be nice to improve situations where those resources are not available.)
Correct, at 10:20 eastern I did receive the verify device/location email using an invalid password but it is no longer sending the email.
If you look at the chemical reaction of a hydrocarbon and then what CO2 sequestration is you’ll see that it’s still within the laws of thermodynamics.

You’d potentially have a thermodynamics problem if you were trying to remake synthetic fuel from the air and hydrogen. And even if you’re doing that - there’s still an argument that it’s better to recycle the carbon than to continue to dig it out of the ground.

You then talk about trees (which aren’t free from the laws of thermodynamics). The process of a tree for fixing carbon is not efficient, typically less than 1%. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

And that’s before you get to the step of sequestering the carbon locked up in the plants.
> Get rid of SIM cards and let’s move everything to purely digital number porting. That doesn’t mean you can’t add or change your provider when you travel, it just means you do it through the user interface instead of removing a little card that runs Java and has access to your baseband.

Here a different perceptive on this.

SIM: Great! my phone just broke and I need to call my insurance to get it replaced. Oh lucky I saved my older phone! That is so perfect because I can take the SIM from my primary phone and put it in the older phone. viola it works! all of that take within 5 mins.

Without SIM: Great! my phone just broke and I need to call my insurance to get it replaced. Oh lucky I still have my older phone... oh wait, they don't have a SIM. So I am stuck without my phone for a week and need to have access to my phone now! Wait let me see if I can open my older phone and see what I can do. turns on yay it still works... no cellular signal? Oh right right, I forgot this phone don't have SIM. Oh ok I guess I have to go through the internal app to get it over to this phone. Why this app kept failing?! C'mon I just need my phone to work because I am expecting calls for potential future job that I might get it! two weeks later with new phone at the door Great... I didn't get the job because the mobile company and insurance been dragging this long as possible. All of this might take two weeks.

This is why people favors SIM because it can be taken out and put in other phone within minutes. In other side, people will be stuck without phone for a while because of this stupidity.
I wrote the above, but I think the problematic ones are the “text book MBAs” (I just coined that) who go to mediocre, money-grabbing programs and think they are good to go because they read text books and have the degree. There are too many of these in the marketplace.

The other skill a good MBA imparts is solid written and oral communication.

I don’t have an MBA, but considered it and chose another MS program, cherry picking MBA courses I felt were relevant.

But to discount an MBA as two more years of undergrad partying is missing out on a lot of skills they can bring.
agreed. heh. thankfully though at least 3 of them can be expressed with a normal keyboard:

I have found nothing so far which convinces me that below 1.5°C rather than below 2.4°C protects us any more or less from positive feedback loops.

There seems to be a lot frightening going around with regards to tipping points into positive feedback loops however if those exist and are so bad how comes that climate models don't show those and rather show that it is possible to reach equilibrium over 2°C?
There is no take out feature. There is just a GDPR compliance one that does the bare minimum to be law compliant. If you read the ToS you would know that you don't own any data on Discord.
I think Wikipedia summarizes the context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Zimbabwe#Political_impli...

> To black nationalist groups, Great Zimbabwe became an important symbol of achievement by Africans: reclaiming its history was a major aim for those seeking majority rule. In 1980 the new internationally recognised independent country was renamed for the site, and its famous soapstone bird carvings were retained from the Rhodesian flag and Coat of Arms as a national symbol and depicted in the new Zimbabwean flag. After the creation of the modern state of Zimbabwe in 1980, Great Zimbabwe has been employed to mirror and legitimise shifting policies of the ruling regime. At first it was argued that it represented a form of pre-colonial "African socialism" and later the focus shifted to stressing the natural evolution of an accumulation of wealth and power within a ruling elite.

These are important details that the article does not mention. I presume that's to heighten the appeal of "Great Zimbwawe" to other nationalists who share similar insecurities about their state's eminence in the world but don't actually benefit from Zimbabwe's internal politics.

Don't get me wrong, the actual ruins look like a noteworthy accomplishment. But exaggerating it into a wonder of antiquity seems like a ploy by a small group of people to gain clout at the expense of African history. As other commenters and wikipedia points out, Rhodesia also played the same game with the ruins, just in reverse.
This only means 4 degrees cooler is bad. In itself it says nothing about 4 degrees warmer.
China seems to be the the curious technology laggard here, and I've not yet seen the reason why. Till now, China still requires that Apple omit the eSIM technology and forces iPhones sold in HK and China to have 2 physical SIM card slots. Chinese handset makers are mostly omitting eSIM support as well, with only a couple high eSIM models between Huawei, Xiaomi, Oppo and others. Then even more interesting is that there are a few Chinese sellers of eSIMs data plans. Very interested to know the reason why China has held back support for eSIM...
Niagara doesn't do speculative execution, and their SMT model is wildly different from intel's - specifically, they are a variation of barrel cpu where you duplicate minimal amount of resources to hold state then execute X instructions per thread in round-Robin fashion. Similar setup is used on POWER8 and newer (which allows you to dynamically change the amount of threads available).
People have never had the experience of a phone that was on their side, but televisions did only what they were told until a few years ago.

They'd love smart everything, it's the predators that are the problem.
> I don’t want to force anyone to do anything. I want to find a team that has the same primary work mode that I do: in-person collaboration.

I think of this the way I think of full-time pair programming: nobody should be forced to do it, but it's perfectly fine to form a team where it's a key part of the culture, as long as it's made abundantly clear to new hires before they join that it will be expected of them.
> It's because you don't have any right to other peoples data under GDPR.

Citation needed that messages intentionally sent to you are "other people's data" and regulated under the GDPR. They're certainly not personal information such as a real name or phone number.

> That's a feature to help stop doxxing.

This has nothing to do with doxxing. Doxxing is easily prevented by merely changing the takeout so that there's plausible deniability - e.g. if person A and B have a conversation and A uses the takeout feature, person B's username would be redacted or minimized such that they could reasonably claim that that person in the transcript could have been anyone.
I never felt the controls where shitty, it just felt like jumping needed some foresight and that was part of the fun, just like jumping in real life requires you to bend down your knees first before actually getting some air; even in modern games I get that feeling, like how in Dark Souls you have to time the parry and pressing the button does not instantly makes the shield teleport in front of the character.
Premise: A person spends 5 - 6 years doing a focused task; and the resulting skills are transferable to other fields.

This premise is not surprising. As others pointed out, you can be doing anything and learn something that is valuable and transferable.

The real question is whether a PhD program is the most time- and energy-efficient way of learning those transferable skills. If you were doing your own startup for 5 - 6 years, would you have learned less transferable skills? How about 3-year tenures at 2 of FAANG? What is the opportunity cost of a PhD?
But can't you just build an MSI installer from sources, then distribute that to users? Like you can build .deb/.rpm or flatpak packages on Linux?
New NY bill aims to hold social media companies accountable for disinformation
I've read several books in the first section (and quit skimming through the list after).

I am sorry but to me this is completely useless. Someone whom I don't know can claim they recommend whatever. They have no authority, and lists like these don't say why they recommend some. I am far more interested in the why than the who or what. In other words, the most interesting piece (a well written albeit short review) is missing. Without that, title and aithor is pointless as they are rarely descriptive enough about content.
> When I say people I'm working from home, they look with pitty.

That sounds odd. Pity is usually expressed when you're in an unfortunate position you had/have no control over. Most people (should) understand that most people work from home not out of force, but out of choice.
Age isn't a complete PGP replacement (and doesn't try to be). Agree, it's a better tool for the use-cases it covers.
Yes: https://github.com/paragonie/libgossamer/blob/master/docs/tu...

The intention was to allow security vendors to offer code reviews of open source dependencies, and you can choose which you trust. This mechanizes Linus's Law and ensures there's an audit trail with "many eyeballs".
I've been in this situation and I second this strategy. I removed ten+ years from my resume's experience section, removed graduation dates, and immediately saw an uptick in calls.

It isn't necessarily bias against age; it's bias against "overwhelming experience" that scares hiring off, for various reasons. But the result is the same.
Probably not lethal as AC at 60hz tends to "pop" muscles causing a grip to be lost on the penny, but it's potentially lethal, definitely harmful, and definitely bad.
I can't think of any major export from Russia other than natural gas that would account for it being a net exporter in this analysis.
There is so much to unpack here I wouldn't even know where to start. First off, you think you're having a mental health crisis so you're going to HN for advice? Now on to you're specific scenarios....

A. "Aggressively move into management" Why do you even think this is an option? Do you really think the only reason you haven't gone into management is because you haven't decided to claim the seat that they've got just sitting there waiting for you? Management is a hierarchy so by definition there are fewer and fewer seats the higher you go up. If you want one you're going to have to beat someone else out for it. "The cons might be too much politics. People skills don't expire though" So you already think the only problem with management is "politics"? You're already starting out with a contemptuous attitude towards management that comes out in later statements.

B. Again, so you're so good at what you do that you can just decide to become a thought leader. It seems like you're assuming you're brilliant and the only ting that has held you back from being a thought leader is that you haven't applied yourself to the task but once you do success is certain. This doesn't jibe with your statement that you think you're a failure.

C. "I could easily make 2x - 3x my salary [at a FAANG]" You're going to get a job at a FAANG that easily? and get a 2x-3x salary bump for doing it. If it was that easy why the hell aren't you doing that now? LeetCode is what's holding you back? You don't want to take time away from your family, perfectly reasonable choice, but then you can't easily get a new job at a FAANG.

D. Again, you can just walk in anywhere AND get a salary bump? Again why aren't you doing that already. It's kind of the no brainer solution which wouldn't preclude any of the other options and you're not even leaning towards this one.

E. This is just pure fantasy.

If your day job is soul-sucking then at the very least go with option D, take your 1.2x to 1.6x salary bump and reassess.
LastPass master passwords may have been compromised
As a current PhD student in computational neuroscience, I think most of the academics I interact with tend to drastically overestimate the value of their “data science” skills to real jobs, and underestimate the value of software skills beyond prototyping.
> Yet the [zero covid] approach has largely cut off Hong Kong from both China and the world

Through most of things China itself had a zero covid approach too.
Thank you, this is really helpful. At this point in my life, I should optimize for money.

> but if you haven't already write down your 4-7 core values then make decisions based on those. Making decisions that align with my values has reduced my anxiety drastically.

This is great advise. I will definitely do it. I sort of have some idea about my values, like I value autonomy, creativity, family, and comfortable lifestyle. But I really need to sit down and think hard what is the most important value to me.
It would be nice if they mix it with Nix. It makes little sense _not_ to use Nix, despite its numerous shortcomings.
Apple closes all New York stores to browsing as Omicron cases surge
Yeah, I hesitate a little there. There are a lot of PhD programs and doctoral students. Most of them are bad. But that's true of everything.

If we focus on the positive outcome for a good student, those are the two things I think distinguishes someone from a doctorate from someone without.
I would agree with you that that all suck, and the quality of Netflix has certainly gone downhill.

But you pretty much answered your own question. The platforms don’t have giant catalogs of evergreen & niche content, because that is extremely expensive to license. That’s not really a discovery problem, though.

The trade off is of course, the old buying/renting model. But that’s oriented much more towards the enthusiast consumer, which I am not and it would seem you are.
> If you are a local ISP, you better be part of the program if you want to sell your services to apple's devices

> So returning things in a way such that it is not obvious you're looking at mere search results should perhaps be viewed as something requiring a bit of responsibility

That seems like a pointless distinction. Do you think kids even know what a search engine is? I'm sure some do, but are the ones who don't out of luck? I'll even say that a significant chunk of adults think that the content in google info boxes comes from google, rather than from the site itself.

Why can't Europe build a Clubhouse?
You are arguing about a law that is in place and available to read. Discord is in compliance of that law by only sending you your parts of the conversation. Do you really believe they did it without checking in with their lawyers?

Check the ToS you don't own anything on Discord you even transfer copyright for every word you type. What even is your argument here? That it would be nice otherwise?
The obvious thing is that it's against the rules on every major site. You're basically saying "I'm looking to cheat, has anyone else done it too?".
You're trying to tell us that software from 2019 isn't new? The majority of the software that I use on a daily basis is minimum a decade old, and I don't think I'm alone.
I’ll keep complaining about it as my parents age and struggle to use their tv apps to watch shows because every product manager needs to prove that they can reinvent the search interface.
Closed-loop technology applies thousands of meters long horizontal wellbores in the target thermal reservoir that are connected by two vertical wells, one inlet well, and one production well (Fig. 2). A low temperature working fluid is injected from the inlet, heated mostly through the horizontal interval in a geothermal reservoir with proper thermal properties, and the heat energy is harvested at the outlet for heating and power generation purposes.

That's reasonable enough. It's an underground heat exchanger. How hard is that to drill? Can you get the horizontal and vertical wells to meet up?

Output temperatures shown on the graph are in the 30C-50C range, so this is for heating buildings, not power generation.
Because it's not possible. I need a ~5.5" Android phone, with SD Card, OLED, 2 SIM, headphone jack and 3 years of software updates. Not sure there is a phone like that, so I don't know what I will be doing when my current phone dies.
The purpose of Nix is reliable declarative configuration. Gobo seems to be significantly less declarative than Nix.
Oh yeah. It's really just totally insane. As someone born into the faith you are taught it's just another miracle like Jesus/Peter walking on water or coming back from the dead. Even though those events were recorded (according to most biblical scholars) around 100 years after they supposedly took place.

Quiet literally the same as if I wrote about how George Washington felled a cherry tree with a magic axe that granted him the ability to see through time.

When your parents believe it, and their parents believed it, etc all the way back to the founding of the church when your (rubes) of ancestors fell for a con... yeah, hard to see the lie for what it is. Even if, from the outside, it's beyond obvious.
1. If you had read the wikipedia article carefully , you would see that the Timbuktu manuscripts are written, not only in Arabic, but also in West African languages like Songhay and Tamasheq.

As for story buildings, have you heard of the Lalibela Churches? [1] Granted they are hewn out of rock, but this is a quote form the linked article:

> The churches were not constructed in a traditional way but rather were hewn from the living rock of monolithic blocks. These blocks were further chiselled out, forming doors, windows, columns, various floors, roofs etc. This gigantic work was further completed with an extensive system of drainage ditches, trenches and ceremonial passages, some with openings to hermit caves and catacombs.

Unless you don't consider Ethiopia to be a sub-saharan country (which to me is even an absurd distinction)

I recall being as a teenager hearing of Linux and distros on the internet in the early 2000s and experimenting with different ones. Not sure what motivated me, but everytime things would break and I'd google and try fixing it myself so that the rest of the family could use the same one computer. Perhaps Linux can still function the same and help pose a challenge to kids these days too.
Industry is still moving from excel / spreadsheet modeling to tableau and python and alteryx in the workplace. Knowing python today is knowing excel 20 years ago.

Most companies aren’t ready to do real data science, and the transition is as much an organizational problem as it is a technical one.
I also use laser paper for my fountain pen scratch stuff! The premium laser stuff has a nice enough surface, but it's quite thick/heavy once you get multiple sheets together. The benefit for the special expensive paper is that you can have the same nice usable writing surface, but many, many, many more sheets in something thin and light enough to carry around (as in a notebook) or mail (as in letter paper). One big difference between Japanese and non-Asian paper cultures that I've found is that there's much less loyalty in Japan to the [brick-like codex aesthetic], so there's more design consideration placed into keeping things convenient to carry around -- textbooks split into thin volumes, notebooks tending toward copybook length even when of luxurious quality, etc. (Also may have something to do with diff. writing system facilitating info density on pages, etc. but that would need more expertise to weigh in on) If you're working at a desk, all that doesn't matter, and it sounds like you have a great system for your setup.
