Nor mine. I distinctly remember back to college circa 2000, copying a project from my computer in the dorms, walking to a project partner's dorm room adjacent to mine, and in that 15 second walk, having the data corrupted.

Thumb drives weren't common or cheap, yet, though I did have a Zip Drive, as did nearly all of the school's lab computers. I never had a corruption problem with Zip disks, but man, floppies? Seemed like if I walked near them, they'd get corrupted.
A better analogy would be if you sent a letter asking the government for specific public personnel records and they just Xeroxed their entire private file and sent it to you without reading it.

The myocarditis connected to the vaccinations was reported to be almost always mild. And the higher risk for myocarditis compared to COVID (the topic of the linked paper) only applies to the second shot of Moderna for people under 40, not for Biontech nor for people above 40. And this only compares myocarditis, COVID has other potential complications that were not within the scope of this paper.

So it's reasonable to use Biontech instead of Moderna for young people, but the overall benefit of the vaccine still applies. The risks from COVID for young people are rare, but the side effect from the vaccine are even rarer.

The author forgot to include statistical significance in the data. A difference of 1-5 parts per million is statistically insignificant for the study sample size.

Also, while focusing on myocarditis he forgets to count actual deaths from covid19 which is increasing for younger people with the new variants.

Death rate per million for age 25 is 100.

Yet the author complains about a non statistically significant difference of 1-5 per million of myocarditis for under 40?!

Does the author have an agenda you are aware of?

No.

> I'm asking regardless of practical enforcement of those regulations.

From public information and press releases it doesn't seem like they do.

- For starters the password is just a six digit number. So it doesn't follow the same account security recommendations required by the regulator for every other financial institution in El Salvador.

- Every financial institution in El Salvador is required to publish their corporate information on their website, including their financial statements and board of directors. But their website doesn't even publish their address.

- The app is not a member of the local deposit insurance scheme (IGD). But the app is the financial institution with the most clients in El Salvador. 3 million, compared to 1.5 from the rest of the financial sector

> I want to understand the risk model here as people actually using the app perceive it

> Are the people regularly using it under the impression that the government will help claw back or recover lost or stolen fund.

I don't know. I mean, all other banks are required to publish customer service statistics, including how many credit card chargebacks they do and how many fraud complaints they receive. But the app doesn't do this as far as I know.

They get the instinctive thumbs up from us because we want to feel in opposition to what we just watched.

I completely agree that the internet has given us this "low context, dumb culture" because that's what gets the instinctive reactive thumbs up click.

> Yeah, my guess is also that long-term, software development will involve less libraries and more "reinventing the wheel" for those reasons.

I very much hope not.

I would greatly prefer to see some certification bodies arise that can vet libraries for exploits like this and give a certificate of some sort saying "This library is safe to use".

Of course, that requires them to have some extremely good exploit-finders.

I had the same experience as you here in the bay area. Trying to use the official sites, either from the state government or my healthcare provider, was a chaotic array of dead links, months-old information, and ultimately, a scheduling system that had my waiting several weeks to drive a couple of hours away.

Which is what I was resigned to, until I drove by a huge outdoor, drive-through setup that took walk-ins, located in the parking lot near the animal shelter in San Martin. Very professionally run, and I was in and out in 20 minutes. And yet had I not chosen to drive Monterey instead of 101 that day, I would never have heard or seen it, and it is not on a street most people would use.

It seems that you have decided to change your argument to 'solely' as soon as you saw my comment disproving your nonsense (with examples) and now you have started splitting hairs to present an illusion that businesses cannot use or accept cryptocurrencies. (and survive)

So OpenSea / Rarible / Dent Wireless are not businesses only accepting cryptocurrencies then?

Right so it will happen again in 2021, 2022 then?

So in 2021, MoonPay, BitPay, Coinbase Commerce and Circle.com enabled businesses do not allow their customers like VISA, AMC and Shopify to accept cryptocurrencies and stablecoins like USDC?

The science indicates a mild disease for under 50s, is becoming even milder

Refusing education for young people because of a booster can only be described as a crime against human rights
Flynn effect has stopped during the last few decades. I have been wondering why. What are the environmental things that have happened in the last decades as oppoesd to most of last century? There is only a handful of possible explanations that I have been able to come up:

1. We might want to do more research on the effect of increasing CO2 on cognitive skills.

2. Wealth disparities have been increasing. There seems to be some research on poverty causing decline on cognitive skills. Maybe it is relative, not absolute poverty that does it?

3. We have reached (local?) maximum and are not going to get any more intelligent any time soon.

4. IQ is a flawed measure that comes up with random nonsense.

Not so sure which of those I would pick most likely.
How about we stop presuming things and do some actual science. This is supposedly one of the most prestigious universities in the world throwing out the foundations for modern thought in the name of fear and profits for the greediest companies in the entire world.

Their slogan is literally "the wind of freedom blows". Has the wind stopped blowing?
One of the problems is that if your target market is other devs, there is a knee jerk demand that your software should be foss and free (as in beer).

I hope that we'll see a move away from foss licensing to source available licenses over the next few years and an increased acceptance of this model in more areas.

Dropping the non discrimination clauses in open source licenses while giving licensees the right to view and modify the source and integrate it with their own software, but not the right to redistribute, is to me a good middle ground for a lot of projects. This would allow developers to charge different rates (or not charge) depending on the licensee and ensure that they can capture more of the value from their work if they need to do so in the future, or if their project becomes popular. It works for Epic with Unreal Engine and more generally in the game industry where it is common to have source available licenses.

While free software has its place in certain areas (academia, government, hobby projects), and I agree you should be able to audit and fix the software that runs on your own devices, it also has downsides and I don't think foss licensing should always, or even usually, be the default outside of these cases.
You might try SmartGit. I use it on Linux and Windows and love it.

I especially appreciate the way it makes it easy and obvious how to do things that would be complicated on the Git command line. Some examples:

Committed to the wrong branch? Drag the branch markers where you want them.

Want to see a diff between the files in two commits, possibly on unrelated branches? Click one commit, Ctrl+click the other, and the file diffs are right there.

Lost a commit and now you have to trawl through the reflog? Turn on the "Recyclable commits" checkbox and all those reflog commits show up as normal commits, complete with diffing as noted above.
Thanks for that gift of an article!

Yes, with a cable that connects to SBU pins: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/hdc...

(if you have unlocked CCD and didn't lock yourself out of it — you could e.g. forget the password)

you can do whatever you want using flashrom with the SPI flash chips for both AP and EC.

Hmm, there's no timestamp for the page itself but the picture attachments are dated 2009.

> Cr50 RW storage can be recovered from the RO loader by using a physical USB-UART cable

That sentence sounds weird, not sure why it wouldn't be recoverable via the SBU cable — the RO firmware is just an earlier build of the same firmware that does offer the GSC/Cr50 UART among its consoles via SBU.

I'm not going to check though :D

> how the RO firmware is authenticated

According to OSFC presentation https://2018.osfc.io/uploads/talk/paper/7/gsc_copy.pdf

"RO public key in ROM, RW public key in RO" so they thought of that, the root of the root of everything is truly immutable silicon.

> e.g. glitching the Boot ROM

There are likely measures against this, since this is a "secure chip" designed in modern days by Google rather than some shitty vendor.
But either way, attaching probes for voltage-glitching the root of trust is far beyond the capabilities of the proverbial "evil maid" :)
And the glitching question should apply to Apple and whoever else as well.

> any end user with no specialized knowledge can follow a few simple documented steps with another machine and a USB cable and an app in the App Store (or idevicerestore) to fully, securely, and confidently restore all the writable firmware

What Google does for the "normal people" AP flash recovery: only the RW CBFS partition is writable from the AP, and for recovery it boots from an RO partition: https://doc.coreboot.org/security/vboot/index.html#recovery-... (there's a theme to everything the CrOS team does haha… surprise, the EC also uses the RO+RW mechanism)

Yes, this doesn't protect against the "I'm a normal regular user with no debug access and someone desoldered my SPI flash, tampered with it and soldered it back" but… come on :) Especially considering hard-to-open laptop cases and WSON-8 flash chips, that's just a ridiculous scenario to care about.

Hives is listed as a side effect of on medical websites for COVID vaccines. Examples....

- https://www.healthline.com/health-news/some-people-get-a-ras...

- https://mvec.mcri.edu.au/references/covid-19-vaccines-and-al...

The heading under "Delayed urticaria following a COVID-19 vaccine" is exactly what I'm experiencing.

Rashes as a side effect is even listed on the CDC website

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/al...

Again I'm not 100% certain but I believe the booster caused it from all indications.
Covid vaccines went through the same safety and efficacy trials as every other vaccine.

Covid has a 2%? mortality rate against the immune naive, with a much greater proportion requiring hospitalisation and suffering long term health consequences. I believe that is pretty similar to many other illnesses we vaccinate against.

There are varied and complex reasons for people being anti-vax, but none of them are grounded in science.
Unvaxxed here. Lost my job due to it. Couldn't attend a close friend's wedding. So - it is not a casual decision I made.

mRNA "vaccines" are not as tested as the pharmaceutical companies want you to believe. They've been in development for years and had serious issues. The mainstream media has severe conflicts of interest, financially, with regard to Pfizer. There are smaller conflicts of interest with regard to J&J and Moderna. The Asch conformity experiments are one example of many that show that even experts can be manipulated. If I do happen to have a bad reaction to the shot, I have no recourse to get compensation for my medical bills. I have very, very low risk of complications from the SARS-Cov-2 virus itself.

The risk analysis does not justify the shot, for me.
> Computer control is nice but it's one tiny piece.

I don't know if they do this, but I'd imagine if they built in buffers and then controlled the train speed based on arrival/departure times they could get pretty accurate. If a run's maximum average speed (mouthful) is 120 km/h then plan on 100 km/h which gives you +20 buffer to play with in order to make sure the time is right. A computer would allow that +20 to be evenly spread so passengers aren't aware of it.

That, of course, has much less to do with computers and more to do with planning and eliminating and accounting for unknowns as much as possible.
There was no lock. The door was open with an "open house" sign and the owners were just hoping you wouldn't notice the sensitive documents lying on the table.
I came to the same conclusion. Fully vaxxed, but pressured by family into getting booster. Couldn't get out of bed for a day, and my heart still feels weird a week later. Going to the doctor to get that checked out.
We also frequently need reference types to contiguous storage in addition to value types of contiguous storage. In C++ this is satisfied by std::span for both the static and dynamic cases.
> This is a dumb policy. Covid presents essentially no risk to young people. We also now know that the risk of myocarditis to young men from vaccination exceeds the risk of same from the virus itself:

You're the second person here to cite this study and imply that the risk from covid is lower for young men than the risk of the vaccine. But that's...not what the study says.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpubh.2021.7384... suggests the case fatality rate for Covid in 20-39-year-olds is 0.62%. In comparison, the excess risk of myocarditis following a vaccination, per the Nature paper, was 15 per million, or 0.0015%.
in my experience it’s pure PR bs with no teeth in response to public pressure. Getting past the code verification is trivial in stores. Employees do not enforce verification at all or even when they do a decent fake id would easily defeat it since tmobile doesn’t bother sending a 2fa verification to your device.
I was born and raised in St. Louis. This whole situation doesn't surprise me one bit.
Using floppies is apparently still pretty common in japan.
Agreed, but if we move the goalposts to prevent hospitalization and death then how much of a difference does the booster make?
Instead of encrypting the data, maybe they are relying on the fact that nobody else today has a reader for floppy disks, so the data is safe.
The science indicates that you are likely at a lower risk of having a severe case of covid if you take the shot.

Science cannot answer moral questions.
msvc and embarcadero do, imho.

clang and icc not.

Working at xerox during this time I've had my hand in a fair number of alto features this article mentions. I vaguely remember a young man who smelled of a peculiar odor nagging myself and others on campus about how our code worked. Yes this was Steve jobs and a lot of what we taught him and his entourage still remain in the macos and iphones even today.
Because they understand consent a lot better.
I think it depends on the use case.

Cameras are already downsizing, DSLRs are long dead and mirrorless are not just the future, they're now the present. I don't think size is the issue any longer.

The purpose of using a "real" camera is quality and control. If you go on IG and look as all the top photography centric accounts they're using either film or mirrorless cameras, not iPhones. The ability to manipulate RAW photos, the outright quality of better sensors and lenses, and the ease of use of "real" cameras still makes them the top choice.

When you then throw in professional use into the mix the choice becomes more obvious. Just the ergonomics alone make traditional cameras the obvious choice. I'm not going to be mounting expensive shotgun mics, matte boxes, and filters to an iPhone.

As far as computational photography goes, it's the future and all manufacturers will need to start using it to get an edge on the competition. The thing with computational photography however is that it's a data driven process, just like anything else AI; data in is data out, so the better quality of dedicated cameras simply means better data for computational methods, thus better results in the end. There's no real substitution for better lenses and sensors, because any computational method applied to a phone can also be applied to a camera.

I think there's something to be said for the lack of control with computational methods too. my iPhone for example applies a lot of processing that makes skin to me look plasticy, but it's baked into the ISP. My Fujifilm when shooting in RAW or F-Log for example doesn't have this issue. So any computational methods applied to traditional cameras need to not impede on creative control; noise reduction is an area where it would be pretty universally helpful.
