(FWIW: The Blackhat link elsewhere in the thread clarifies that the root-of-trust feature is new in Gen10/ILO5. I don't know a good source to cite, but it sounds plausible that ILO<=4 might not use 202x-vintage secure boot. Not that that changes much, given that the talk is about breaking the latest generation...)
You'll get downvoted for being pragmatic.
The success of a race-hustler’s career and their prominence and power in society are both predicated on the condition that racism never goes away.
I'm suspicious of the evasive vagueness too, and therefore suspect the OP is not talking about what I'm thinking of (though no idea what). Nevertheless:

I do think a lot of common cultural how-to knowledge was destroyed around the middle of the 20th century by the new corporate "mad men" advertising world. For example, complex knowledge of cooking was universal, passed from generation to generation from an early age, then along came heavily advertised processed foods and within a generation, vast swaths of the population have much less know-how being received from their parents, just favorite brands and how to boil the mac and cheese. So much cultural traditional knowledge was lost when it was replaced with mass manufactured "junk culture" and only later are their descendants slowly reaccumulating it.
Most dentists do not have a in house lab. That is usually farmed out. They also charge a premium on what they pay the lab. Most dentists i know are not in debt for a long period of time unless they join one of the bargin dental clinics like western dental.
Yeah, I have seen instances where it's the student's lack of drive/progress, the PI being unreasonable, the student's project was too ambitious, plain bad luck (lab equipment caught fire & destroyed), or time taken off for family considerations (child-birth, caring for ailing parents).

I graduated in 6 years (including 2 years of coursework), which was the mode (not the median, though) for my department. The distribution skewed to the long side, and 5 years was the shortest I can recall.
When do birds sing? When they face 40+ years.

I've tried many antidepressants with mild improvement. The drugs give me the ability to function, but i'm just pretty numb. I've done lots of talk therapy, with little success. The problem is that I emotionally shutdown as a child due to a lot of traumatic events. Would ketamine open me up, to allow me to deal with the trauma I buried ?
It’s not just the amount of money but where that money is going is a problem. You see this issue with procurement all the time if it’s a non standard channel you’ll encounter difficulties.

I would guess that the customer paying HPE directly to fix this wouldn’t be an issue but good luck explaining what a bounty is to procurement and with all the restrictions that come with government tenders it’s even more complicated as you have no idea who is the end beneficiary of that payment is so all the due diligence you have to do can’t be done or is far more difficult.

You also don’t get the usual contractural provisions that provide guarantees and protections for what you purchase this way.
I have three personal strategies:

1. Make a deal with myself to do some of the boring task (say an hours worth) before switching to something rewarding
2. Procrastinate until the consequences of not finishing the boring work are technically or socially expensive then rush into it desperately
3. Do it as a sort of down time or palate-cleanser, or a break from more challenging or stressful work
If we are being fair, I think it is quite clear (as far as humanities go) that overall the Bible's literary value is much higher than the book in question. If we do a PageRank-like ordering of all books based on quotes and cross-references, quite likely the Bible will come on top.
This is correct. As I understand it, Apple have a database of product information and if you do wipe your SPI flash, it will be restored by phoning home during the DFU restore process (by identifying your machine based on its fused in ECID), though I've yet to try this. So it should be in fact fully recoverable.

This information is in the system configuration area, and gets inserted into the device tree template by iBoot2. You can see the template DT and what sysconfig entries it pulls data from if you extract it from an OS restore image instead of looking at the runtime DT with ioreg.
In my 1980s version of Empire, all the global variables were kept contiguously in one source file. To save/restore the game, it just took the address of the first one, the address of the last one, and blitted it to a disk file, and blitted it back.

Very fast & easy.

Of course, it broke when COMDATs were introduced.

I did a similar thing with my text editor. The colors were configurable. The usual way was to have a configuration file, which the editor would read upon startup. But floppy disk systems were unbearably slow. So what I did was take the address of the configuration data in the data segment. I'd work backwards to where those bytes were in the EXE file, and patch the EXE file. This worked great!

Until the advent of virus scanners, which broke that. Virus scanners hated self-modifying EXE files.
It's also not absurd to imagine a world where advertising is the next internet bubble.
Great explaination. I like “web3 is distributed not decentralized”

For the federated and decentralized info: Is it like Sia coin and file coin are operated on its own protocol/nodes. Both are decentralized but it’s federated in the sense that sia and filecoin don’t talk to each other?
> Thank you! That's the most important point.

It’s really not. Flickr was already circling the drain like the rest of Yahoo. Mayer’s revamp failed but it’s not why block Yahoo failed. It’s not even why Flickr failed. Your pinning of the broader Flickr failure on Mayer is revisionist. The whole reason it needed a revamp was because was already dying.

> Flickr is the topic of this thread.

It wasn’t the topic of the comment I replied to from glenstein. We had a whole sub thread about Yahoo in general.

> I don't think Flickr is the reason Yahoo failed, but I do think Marissa Mayer hastened Flickr's demise, and I do believe Ms Mayer's incompetence was the reason Yahoo couldn't be turned around. If you believe Ms Mayer was brought in to "manage a burning building" as opposed to turning it around, please read this story:

There’s something really off about claiming that Mayer hastened the demise of Yahoo! and then linking to an article essentially saying she should have gutted it sooner.

(Maybe there was something buried at the bottom? I stopped reading because it was all old and well worn.)
The weird thing about Trump’s lies was they weren’t really calculated to decieve people they were more like BS talking points as if we were in some pre-information age where whoever was the biggest bully won the argument.
It does not. Apparently these days iBoot only logs to a proprietary USB debug protocol we haven't figured out yet.
I agree that it's fictitious. However I believe that religion is ingrained within out biology. Every human culture and civilization developed religion independently. There is not one example of a human civilization that is only fully practical and has no religion.

The fact that it's completely ubiquitous indicates that religious practices among societies is not a coincidence. The only commonly shared attribute among all civilizations that have existed throughout time is biology and religion.

Such a correlation indicates that religion is highly, highly likely to be biological in origin.
I’m sorry, but I read all 3 of those links and I didn’t find a single one convincing. They rely on largely anecdotal experiences which dont appear to be any different than many that come out of non-Midwestern states, and yet don’t get roped around the regions neck the same way. George Floyd dying in Minnesota is somehow a reflection of “Midwestern nice” gone wrong, but Trayvon Martin being killed in Florida, or Eric Garner strangled in NYC, or Rodney King being beaten on the streets of LA are only ever contextualized as “America’s racism problem” and not the problems of California, New York, or Florida.

When these articles actually provided hard numbers, they only served to under,one their argument even more. The Midwest is decried as being overwhelmingly white at 81% of the population, compared to the nationwide average of… 76%? That hardly seems enough of a difference to have as monumental of an effect as claimed. What’s more, while the Midwest is decried as hostile to black Americans due to their overwhelming whiteness, in reality, most major Midwestern cities actually have far more black Americans than most West Coast and Northeast cities. One article cited that only 10% of the Midwest is black, compared to 13% nationally, but this ignores that the region that drags the average up is the equally pilloried South, not the “diverse” West or East Coasts, which are often have the same or less black representation in their population. For example the proportion of black people making up the population of Indianapolis is 3x as much as LA, and even more than places like Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Boston.

In one of the articles, it states that in the Midwest, the median income for black Americans is $36,000 or lower, compared to $38,000 nationally. Not only is this difference minimal, but it ignores that the median wage for all people, regardless of race, is less in the Midwest than it is nationally. Another article says Midwestern states have noticeable differences in employment and other outcomes between black and white Americans, as if this is some differentiating feature of the region and not true of literally every single state in the nation.

Here’s the reality. Systemic racism pervades this country. However certain areas of the country (the coasts) have an outsized voice on national discourse, and therefore depict their ills as everyone’s ills, and the ills of the rest of the nation as unique to them and evidence of their inferiority. Therefore, it seems to me less like there is lots of evidence Midwest is genuinely, uniquely backwards and racist, and more that our society has decided that the Midwest is backwards and racist from the get go, and then works backwards finding whatever evidence is available to support that claim.
Reminds me of the RPG called Paranoia.
What's gibberish about the implication? That's all a blockchain is. It takes cryptographic signatures (or more specifically, transactions that are cryptographically signed), and puts them in order.

As pointed out, the cryptography existed well before blockchain. My only point was that the fancy decentralized way it orders the transactions is the real innovation.

It will be interesting if this snippet lands on GitHub Autopilot (though it has important parts missing, even with the minor errors added)
tl;dr is that daily case and deaths statistics don't follow Benford's law, a statistical test that can indicate manipulation

I am a bit surprised that this study finds so much deviance and so readily attributes it to manipulation.

Not that I think that Covid statistics can't be manipulated, but that that there is so much manipulation in their specific data set (data from ECDC, daily count). Countries typically give out a variety of numbers: reported cases, confirmed cases, number of positive tests, incidence rate, total numbers by day or week, averaged or not, etc... Deaths include hospital deaths, death certificates mentioning covid, deaths by covid, deaths with covid, etc... Corrections happen all the time too.

Obviously, some of these numbers have to match, for example, if you manipulate for cases at the time of reporting, you have to match the numbers of cases at the time of testing, incidence rate, and total numbers. Otherwise, it would be trivial to see that something is wrong. So manipulation should be apparent only in one of these indicators, the surprising part is that in every case manipulation is evident in the daily count sent to ECDC, why that number and not the other ones that show up everywhere.

> The 2003 rule change around number porting forced a bunch of upgrades to telecoms to make it possible for any phone operator to send out a call for any number.

Are you trying to claim that's the reason that anyone can forge a number? Because I don't buy it. Just because you're forced to accept an inbound number doesn't mean you don't log where the number came from -- the peer service provider at the very least.
I'm not denying that gender dysphoria is a diagnosable condition. Indeed, I referred to its existence twice in my earlier comment. It's clearly a disorder that affects some people, even if the aetiology is currently unknown.

But consider what this diagnosis actually means: a strong desire to be the opposite sex. It's not the state of actually being the opposite sex, just a desire to be.

This remains the case even if the afflicted subject develops a belief that they are the opposite sex by way of a 'gender identity'.
It has no impact thanks to the inverse square law. This is a much stronger field, very close to the brain, done in a targeted way.

Because you have been fooled. Seuss’s estate decided to cease printing some of his lowest selling books, cited some problematic elements as a justification, and conservative media decided to manufacture a wedge issue out of it. Could they updated those elements? Sure. Seuss himself did at least once. But why bother? They were among his lowest selling books. Books fall out of print all the time.
I have not seen that paper before, thanks for the link!
After practicing partner dances for over 15 years, it seems to me that it is possible to have a kind of connection with another person that feels like magic — it is so direct and immediate that it does not seem to explainable by our current generally accepted theories of physics and biology (i.e. mirror neurons and the like). It feels like the follower is reading my mind. But I don’t think it is beyond physical world, it is just sonething we don’t yet understand well enough.
I don't really care how complex it is. Split people between two groups, offer food with half the salt to one group and see what happens. No need to overcomplicate.
No, it's a very different situation since radiation therapy has such a long history at this point.

I'm just not sure what the margin for error is, the failure modes for this magnetic therapy, or what makes a good magnetic therapist.

Not a reason to stop developing it though.
First you'll need an fMRI machine.
It stops at Montana. Anything west of the Dakotas, Nebraska, or Kansas is either the “West”, “Mountain West”, or “Southwest”.
Isn't it funny that all of these conversations around federated data are happening on discord? I'd love it if Discord was indexed by search engines so I didn't have to fight to find that conversations that I am interested in.
You gotta think bigger. This is outrageous in terms of the entire world and human history. There hasn't been a single human civilization that you can classify as having no religion.

He's right when he says that the people who don't believe in religion are the outrageous ones.
Right. This is, by the way, the sole innovation of Bitcoin. Describing a mechanism to establish a sequential order of transactions with finality.
It's like consoles, you can spend many many hours setting up your ultra-secure code signing boot procedure but what good is any of that if you use it to sign firmware with an ancient WebKit version that allows code execution?

Same thing that happened here, the code signing works fine but it was used to sign code with trivial format vulnerabilities running in an environment (RTOS) that doesn't support any sort of isolation.
It's already established that he's a Youtuber and has cameras, why would you not take all your cameras with you when jumping out of the plane? Not even for the cool factor, a gopro costs like over $500, why would you not take it with you?

This reminded me of the old days working in Windows 3.1 and my first professional project was to write a SOCKS client that could be loaded up and intercept all calls to Winsock's connect() function. It needed to do this without modifying the other programs and it had to happen at the DLL level and not the VxD layer where our IP stack ran.

Turns out there was an undocumented Windows API function along the lines of "AliasCsToDsRegister" or something like that - I've tried to find a reference to it but I can't find it. It allowed me write into the code segment (the CS was global and read only - as it was shared among all processes) and replace the first few bytes of the connect function call with a jump to my code which would then put it back, make the call to the socks server, do some other magic, put my jump hook back in and the return to the caller. Good times!

Kind of surprised I remember this and more so that it actually worked.
I have read it. It's why I don't believe it is utterly true and consider the claim that it is utterly true indicative of what I said it is. It's 2021. Any of us can go and look up a list of the contradictions people have found throughout the ages, then go and look up those verses on BibleHub and see that the text, in any of a dozen translations, are directly contradictory. Context does not help in the vast majority of these cases, as they are definitive claims of fact that are directly opposed.

Probably my favorite bit is when Genesis says that god decided people could not live longer than 120 years, then later goes on to name a ton of people who lived for hundreds of years. We also know today that there is at least one person who lived longer than 120 years, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeanne_Calment .

And of course I won't even get into just how fantastically contradictory every gospel is with the others over quite a startling array of details of the story of the death and ascension of Jesus.
I wouldn't put up with 2min build times if I could avoid it. There are incremental compile/link options though, right? For that matter, I could also use the < 32K source-line files instead of the all-in-one if it saved me time.
Wow, that's very detailed. I can see it being beneficial, especially in the case of an unreasonable advisor who might demand late-breaking additions to the research.

For me, I started from the slides I had presented in my immediate group meetings (~6 ppl, including my advisor, typically once per week, 2-3 slides each) plus the larger group meetings (~40 ppl, including the lab director, typically twice per year, 20-30 slides each). That gave me bullet points and figures. I wrote one chapter at a time, starting with the central chapters & ending with the introduction & conclusion. I had a 6-month time table for writing, and I was only delayed 2 weeks in the end. Remaking figures and messing with LaTeX took more time than I wish it had.
Depends on the scale. It might cost on the order of several MBs to store a km^2 at a moderate level of detail. For a small area that's relatively light, but becomes prohibitively large if you multiply by the hundreds of millions of square kilometers of a planetary surface...
My routine was always to use Vim for writing emails, in mutt, and Emacs for anything else.

These days I pay for gsuite, so my vim usage has declined. But I know it well enough to use whenever necessary. Emacs is just more "me".
I think that would be a bad idea in this specific case.

Why? Because for the majority of codebases, the time_t change won't require any work.

You'd be forcing a compiler error, and it would effectively say "Add -D_TIME_BITS=64. If you're doing something really weird with time_t then you may have to update your code too, but in 95% of the cases, you can just add that flag."

I think the compiler error might be warranted for something like "You are using a function that is 95% of the time insecure or wrong, please add -DGAPING_SECURITY_HOLE if you know what you're doing", but if the error really is just "add a flag, you do not need to think about your code probably", the library authors themselves might as well default it for you.
What number was it in 2015 or 2016?
For situations where there is physical proximity I get what you're saying. Maybe we're just way better at detecting slight movements, smelling pheromones, etc. than currently understood. Especially when you have a relationship for many years with the person. But that doesn't seem to solve the situations involving large distances.

Not only it's not unusual for a Youtuber who frequently posts videos of themselves flying, but it also would explain why they would trek to the crash site, to recover expensive equipment, especially if the crash was nearby (which it was due to the plane turning and coming back and almost hitting him).

Yes - those things are closely related to some of the diagnostic criteria used by some of the tests for depression. The remission of those symptoms is a quite a good signal all by itself.

See for example https://www.medscape.com/answers/286759-14692/what-are-the-d...

And consider “ Diminished interest or loss of pleasure in almost all activities (anhedonia) “

— his ability to enjoy guitar for its own sake is a great sign.

And “ Sleep disturbance (insomnia or hypersomnia) “

…he addresses that directly.

But the presence of those symptoms doesn’t by itself mean that a major depressive episode is the best or only diagnosis.

But having some of those symptoms is enough to indicate you should talk to a medical professional, as they are very troubling symptoms.
