Not in my day-to-day work. The deterioration is very clear.
>I find no joy in saying it, but I bet that would get you some unwelcome attention - trademark infringement, defamation, tortious interference - from one of those companies. :(

While that's a wonderfully dystopian view, I'd expect that wouldn't happen unless you attempted to use such SSIDs in a commercial context.

for your "wager" to be successful, I should expect to be sued over saying stuff like "Old McDonald had a quarter pounder Henway" or "Starbuck made the same inferior coffee for Ahab every day."

I'll await cease and desist letters from McDonald's and Starbucks.

According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office[0]:

Trademark infringement is the unauthorized use of
a trademark or service mark on or in connection
with goods and/or services in a manner that is
likely to cause confusion, deception, or mistake
about the source of the goods and/or services.

Not sure how using a WiFi SSID or other statement that includes trademarked terms (especially those that have cultural roots separate from the trademarks) could be an infringement unless the source is actually selling or marketing a competing product.

You have a point. Sadly, they misunderstand what attracts more developers. It's all about the quality, not the quantity of features.

Asyncio is like black magic to me. The rules of the language change too much. I don't really believe it's even needed, because we already have threading in the standard library.
I understand it as reboot civilization after a disaster that kills everybody else and destroys all technology and collected knowledge.

You need at least around a thousand people so that you avoid too close family relationships over the generations. Enough women to sustain birthrate over the 2.10 per woman number necessary for population stability. Even more births are necessary in a pre-modern society.

At least 90% of your workforce will be involved in obtaining food. The number might be lower under favorable conditions, but have that in mind as a rule of thumb. If your seed population has access to large domesticated animals or source of fish, it will help them concentrate on the main job, a.k.a rebulding civilization.

So, the rest of your population will be craftsmen, scientists, industry workers, and administrators that supposedly will facilitate the work of the others. Under administrators we can talk either bureaucrats or traders or whatever people you need for your distribution model. Craftsmen are people who build or obtain stuff that a single person cannot do on their own because it is time-consuming or requires specialized knowledge. This includes carpenters, smiths, farmacists, and so on.

If we take ancient cities as an example of relatively independent units that are able to survive more or less on their own, and if we calculate the surrounding villages as food base for the city, with approximate population of a city around 4-5 thousand and 5-10 times more in the villages, the figure will be around 40000-50000 people.

This culture must be well-organized, have written tradition, relatively free transfer of knowledge, stable environment, and space to expand. The future generations should be able to use the preserved knowledge for obtaining even more resources and have accelerated expansion. There is a tradeoff here, because the more knowledge you want preserved, the more people and resources should be involved in preserving it, which means more people needed to supply them with food, shelter, and parchment. So, try to keep only the knowledge necessary to build all the rest. Maybe good candidates are: math, logic, scientific method, mechanics, basic chemistry, biology, and astronomy (always good to know what part of the year it is if you want good agriculture).

These are all back of the envelope thoughts so might not hold out under careful examination.
It's gotten to the point where people are even criticized for tanning too much beyond what is supposedly acceptable for their identity.
This looks amazing. Kudos

There is one feature I always wished existed in engineering diagramming tools: it's the ability to hook up some logging or status report.

For instance, on each of these nodes, there could be an ID, and I would send a post request from my servers that says "node ID x is down", and the tool would just show a red dot and maybe a "take me to the logs" button, that would be huge.

Which is to say, I don't just want a diagram, cause diagrams get outdated, I want a dashboard. Dashboards get updated, cause you look at them.

Anyways, just a thought.

They're distinctly different emotions. You might as well ask me for a cite that being angry and being happy are different emotions.
It seems to not work with my eager block settings. It works with a fresh Firefox profile though, so it's not clear what the issue exactly is though. I know for sure that the ext2 is never actually downloaded (0 byte response) and when I try to check anything in DevTools cxcore.wasm triggers a pause on debugger statement, which spikes the CPU.

Any chance there could be a version with all the assets in one thing (say, GitHub Pages)?

>"It sounds like sales of technology from the NSO group was a real foot-in-the-door for Israel for forging of new, previously unlikely alliances."

Israel has had 'secret' alliances with some supposedly 'antagonistic' states for a long time. These are all just extensions of those previously hidden relationships.
I have used a PiHole ever since I learned that LittleSnitch resolves DNS queries (to IP) before the dialog prompts whether to Allow/Deny a connection to the unlisted host. It is an added bonus that I can route my entire subnet to the local PiHole, which prevents rogue software/OS/devices/phones from initiating undesired connections. If you know how to make a few simple IPfilter rules, you can even stop hard-coded devices (e.g. smart TVs) from phoning home with internal DNS IP addresses — all you have to do is capture all DNS queries, IPs included.

Simply blocking pagead2.google.com and googlesyndicate.com will remove 50%+ of website advertising. ReGex rules allow for ads.* (etc.), and these rules apply on your entire local network. For an added bonus, you can then use your local PiHole to resolve DNS queries remotely (e.g. from your phone) — just all around an incredible product!

I do. The NYT is chock full of partisans who seem to have little to no apprehension about framing "the facts" in whatever way helps to shape public opinion in a direction that aligns with their worldview.

The fastest passenger cars today can only make it to 200mph. Even a computer with perfect vision and 0ms reaction time would not be able to stop in time for a blocked road at that speed unless visibility/road were perfect.

GPS is only so accurate on phones by itself. I assume harvesting SSIDs helps a lot for knowing specifically which stores you're shopping at in a dense area with weak GPS signal. It's very accurate with it's "How did you like visiting _____?" notifications and if you look at your location history I think it also accurately labels stores well.

Obviously knowing every store you visit is very useful advertising data.

Hi, I'm looking for a remote senior software engineer position. I'm based in Germany with 6 years of experience. Does Tulip have full-remote positions? And if you wouldn't mind sharing, in what range can I expect the compensation to lie?
Dev doing a FOSS project is specifically out of scope of the proposal, so this is FUD.
Can't sit on the front seat :)
I'm curious as well. Who out there is even using open wifi without at least a captive portal? What benefit to Google is there to just collect SSIDs?
> I just couldn't understand why the managers and other people in leadership positions stuck around.

Money. Investors typically carve out equity to retain key personnel (i.e., management units/stock). The units are worthless unless the company appreciates in value, so management becomes laser-focused on doing whatever it takes to increase the company's valuation. Everything else becomes a secondary concern.
You would smell the alcohol
> People who follow satellite data in order to understand global patterns of earthquakes and weather saw what looks like beams from unknown sources hitting areas that then caught fire.

What? Is there a link to any of this or is it just standard internet BS?

I've heard of earthquake lights and there may be something to that. Never heard of anything focused on places that later caught fire. The fires that I am aware of were mostly blamed on poor maintenance of electrical utility infrastructure or on arsonists or fools doing stupid stuff like "gender reveals".

Enlighten me, but not with one of them space lasers, just about them.
Technically, revenue decline would be a lagging indicator of poor search results and poor user experience.

But agreed.

It's not only psychological -- for example, a lot of brokerages don't offer fractional shares, so a split allows some retail investors to invest who couldn't afford to before. (Although that almost certainly has a smaller effect than the options contracts etc mentioned in sibling threads.)

Yes, you have it right:

>>>

Adrian Krebs @krebs_adrian Replying to @dannysullivan Thanks for clarifying this. I think the post leaves some room for interpretation. The intention was that ads should be more clearly differentiated from organic results, which is not the case today.

>>>

To repeat: "The intention was that ads should be more clearly differentiated from organic results"

The concern of the entire thing aligns with the reading that most people (apparently?) took away to begin with, which is that their above-the-results ads are so similar to organic results that all of the same things are wrong with it as with directly selling placement within results.

The confusion appears to stem entirely from Krebs having in his head that a top-of-organic-results-placement of a link is still, also, an ad, when he wrote the original post. Which is not unreasonable, but could, lacking other context (but there's a ton...) be read a different way. He corrects that in the above follow-up and confirms your interpretation.

The original complaint is about exactly the thing that (again, apparently) most people took it to be.

When Mozilla started making big changes to tracking protection, somewhere around versions 86-90, I started noticing all sorts of broken credential management stuff, and I wonder if this is just another manifestation of that.

With strict ETP turned on, extensions like Cookie AutoDelete stopped working due to some new access restriction[0], and cookies that had been set while strict ETP was turned on—even when it was turned off again—became zombies that could only be deleted through about:preferences.

I’ve had to manually set `privacy.purge_trackers.enabled` to `false` to get it to stop automatically erasing (first-party!) login cookies several times per week. I do not understand what kind of heuristic is being used to decide something is a tracker, but it seems to be not good at it.

For a while, Firefox would also randomly prompt me for a master password after running for about 24 hours. This seemed to stop when I turned off strict ETP, but other people reporting the same problem said they didn’t even have strict ETP turned on to begin with, so who knows? It’s all just so random.

I still have situations today where I navigate (via the address bar or the browser history) to HN, or GitHub, or some other site where I have a valid login cookie, and Firefox just decides that it’s not going to send the cookie this time. If I reload the page, it decides now it will send the cookie. If I perform the exact same navigation that broke a moment ago, now it works fine.

I have no idea what changed, and everything that happens—just like the OP’s problem—is so weird and vague that I cannot even submit a decent bug report. At least this bug is consistent; most of my problems seem to be data races. I hope they are able to figure out what is going wrong and, ideally, that it leads to some fixes for whatever broken logic is causing so much trouble with credential management in general.

What would you think of somebody who refused to look at bug reports because they thought it was unfair to those that stayed true to the teachings of building high-quality software?

Sorry, but you can't pick and choose like that. Does America have a history of high ideals? Sure. Did America always live up to them? Obviously not. All non-Indians live on stolen land. All white people have benefited from the exploitation and suppression of black people. All men have benefited from the exploitation and suppression of women. Whether we meant to or not, and whether we like it or not.

If you really want to stay "true to teachings of real liberty for all people", then you have to look at where and how we've fallen short. Otherwise we'll never live up to the goals.
> And a PR nightmare. Shoot a missile from a school or a hospital, then afterwards the newspaper articles write themselves when the automated system retaliates.

There's nothing new about Hamas firing rockets from schools and hospitals and Israel responding. It's difficult to exaggerate how dirty the conflict is, and in many respects always has been. It's a positive feedback look because these activities only further dehumanize one from the other's perspective, and it's compounded by people on both sides who capitalize on this dynamic for their own gain.

I have a neighbor who grew up in Israel in the 50s and 60s. If you even mention the words "Arab" or "Palestinian" she'll get visibly angry and bitter. I'm sure the feeling is mutual for many on the other side.
A quick search revealed that in 2019 88% of international transactions were made in USD. So even if Reserve Bank of India was doing this analysis -- they might likely take USD as a global reference instead of Indian Rupees.
Multiply the extra few seconds times how many ever millions of people end up using automated driving, times how many stop signs they end up at. The number of lifetimes lost due to stopping at stop signs has got to be the equivalent of the circa-100's area. The real question is why anyone bothers stopping at all if all directions are clear.

A scenario I hadn't thought about, that you might want to be aware of: I had to call 911 recently. I talked to the dispatcher, and hung up. A few minutes later they called me back to give me instructions. The call showed up as a regular Los Angeles 323 area code number. In fact, it was flagged by my phone as spam.

It made me wonder whether reverse 911[1] calls, which are used to warn about hazmat situations, fire evacuations, and other public safety issues, show up similarly.

We used to call fortran transpired into ada: adatran.

Adatran was terrible. Hard to impossible to edit if something needed fixing. Used none of the features that made Ada a decent language. The very limited code they did this to did work however. This was a huge project and included C and ada code.

What do we call C code transpiled to Rust. Crust?
Ahh got it, this makes a lot of sense, maybe something to try next hackathon :)
>" My best guess is the long term solution (if there is ever one attempted) will be more related to why people are motivated to launch rockets at their neighbours."

The problem is that the Palestinians are a heterogeneous group. Even if the Palestinian government makes a 'peace' deal with the Israelis, other Palestinians opposed to the deal can 'break' it by shooting off a few cheap rockets. Further complicating the issue, there are outside parties (such as the Iranians) who have a vested interest in preventing a lasting peace (in order to preserve their influence both in Palestine and in Lebanon).
> both to control how much the cat eats

Get one Surefeed per cat and that's not a problem any more - side benefit, you'll see when one cat suddenly eats less which may be an indicator for toothache... which can escalate into full-blown hepatolipidosis like it did with one of my old cats.
