Stuxnet was reportedly a USB stick delivery, but this could be media speculation.

I am however interested in the low volume high frequency range sound of "static" that appears over speakers _only_ if the volume is turned up to the max in an otherwise silent office. I've had this occur on one Netherlands based website so far in the last few days, but did it come from the Netherlands based website or was it already on my system waiting for activation when visiting websites without any obvious ties back to the US?

If you didnt have your speakers on max in a silent environment, only your mobile phone would pick it up not you (if you have a mobile phone), so is this some sort of malware which can jump from one device to another like a self contained virus of sorts and is it bringing data back to base, a few bytes at a time over time?

Its a clever exploit because most people have their mobile on their desk, and if they dont have speakers some will be listening to music on their headphones so will never be alerted to the communication taking place within smartphone sound frequency ranges.

ts exploiting human behaviour and exploiting the abilities of smart phones, not your usual bit of malware.

I have also noticed Windows with all its security measures on max is able to control the bridging settings for network adaptors in VMware, which can then prevent a WMware version of Kali and wireshark from working properly in promiscuous mode, making it harder to analyse network traffic on a machine.
I spent some time at Guedelon in France where they are building a chateau using only the materials and techniques from the 12th century.

They have blacksmiths making nails by hand. One blacksmith told us he'd spent the best part of a day making one nail that ended up being a failure.
A million tons of fuel doesn't cut the delta v requirements down. You'd have to ship the required fuel to Mars orbit (or wherever you plan on doing refuelling) still.
This is what I am wondering. This attack has been known for quite awhile.

That being said it might be enough just to compromise ANY system within the air gapped network - and then escalate from there. Data could still be routed through the computer with line of site (although now we are talking about an increasingly sophisticated automated hack)
This sounds like how I prefer to code: slow, exploring, learning, etc. Hopefully that fits someone's business requirements.
I think I totally agree, and see this as a substantial difference between corporations and feudal lords. They have entirely capitulated on force and are comfortable in this position. You say they only maintain this position by choice, but what choice do they have otherwise? It is hard to imagine Apple, Google, Facebook having any success if they changed their mind and decided to challenge national governments like US or China with direct force.
I would not mind if they went somewhere. If they went to Mars they would immediately stop talking about what a great idea it was, even if they still had air. They would shortly thereafter try to get somebody to bring them back home.
Yes, NASA's security officers can legally physically prevent you from leaving. Congress has granted them that power.

Go on law.cornell.edu and dig through the vast provisions of federal security officer power as it pertains to arrest, detainment, use of deadly force, etc.

They can do it.

Could you explain in further detail?

I have a friend who is in a similar situation. 10 years ago he was being charged $2500 for a line from a major street to his place last year he got another quote and they're asking for $15k. He's just using cell data right now as its simply cheaper than dishing out 15k for a line and then having to be locked into a $150-$250/month internet plan.
You can't do ISRU in orbit. I don't know of any resources available on the Moon that would allow you to do ISRU there either. Ceres might work, but the inclined orbit may make that impractical as a stop.
Great idea. I was pondering when my next city council meeting is, didn't occur to me that Charter would have an explicit agreement with the city, duh!!
Function coloring is what allows WinRT to be a language-agnostic async API (whether we're talking about UI or not is immaterial - it's all async).

I'm well aware of the shortcomings of coloring, but the point remains that it's the only way to do async that does not result in insular ecosystems with a penchant to rewrite everything so as to gain the benefits of their bespoke green threading (i.e. exactly like Go).

This may change if we can even standardize green threads on OS level, such that all languages can target it in an interoperable way. But the experience with the adoption (or rather lack thereof) of fibers in Win32 shows just how difficult this can be.
> . I suppose that's because there was less dependence on institutions, or maybe the Black Death caused less damage to institutions than to people?

The article had some specific ideas on that; e.g. after 1/3 of all farmers died, the ones that were left abandoned the least efficient land and concentrated on the best land, which made them more efficient. Also being in demand, they made a better living.
On your (1.) - it is possible that whoever pulled the data originally did a bad job. That’s easy to imagine. No one had any reason to care about the numbers for the conditions here as long as it doesn’t affect military readiness. If the numbers were within an order of magnitude I don’t think it would have been caught. That is much much easier to imagine than some kind of vast conspiracy to hide the truth, which is what is alleged here.

The military insures several million active duty members plus retirees (I do know something about the military data from personal experience with it). It does not include the national guard if it’s the source I’m thinking of.

As a general point about health data, which I worked with extensively throughout my PhD and career up to this point, defining an episode, e.g. of myocarditis is no mean feat in this kind of data. You may have several visits to the doctor or hospital, all of which come with an ICD-9 or -10 for some condition. Is that one episode or several? Depends on the condition but it is very difficult in general to figure out with billing records. Generally rules of thumb are applied since it’s impossible to figure out in general without talking to each patient and his doctor in detail.

And again - the more important thing is that if this was happening within the young, healthy military population it would have been happening on a much larger scale in the similarly aged, vaccinated, much larger civilian population. That would be impossible to hide.

I stick to my original conclusion that this is a wild conspiracy theory.
The lock concept isn't at all unique to npm/yarn because you need some form of checksum/hash verification. Even if you trust your source that's unlikely to be part of a repo and doesn't guarantee the next developer can trust what they get.

Availability is a concern, but again if you have it once you have some way of including it in the project.

I think there's a security nightmare with anything that's going to end up in browser at some point. It's such an exploitable surface.

And PHP was not a thoughtfully designed language, but the bad part wasn't the fact that remote includes were possible but that there was no attempt at sandboxing or security built into the functionality.

I'm not sold on Deno for what it's worth. I do agree with you on interpreter not really needing to be in charge of package management, but compilers do it all the time and most typescript ends up getting compiled or transpiled anyway.
This is what I'm doing -- hotspotting with a thankfully-strong signal is decent enough but... still brutal!
On Android, some apps can get call log permission and upload your call log and phone number to their servers, which the app developer may then sell for marketing purposes...

Especially look out for free utility apps and trivial simple games... They nearly all do something shady like this.
"In 1915, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to the philosopher and physicist Moritz Schlick, who had recently composed an article on the theory of relativity. Einstein praised it: ‘From the philosophical perspective, nothing nearly as clear seems to have been written on the topic.’ Then he went on to express his intellectual debt to ‘David Hume, whose Treatise of Human Nature I had studied avidly and with admiration shortly before discovering the theory of relativity. It is very possible that without these philosophical studies I would not have arrived at the solution.’"

Does anyone know of any communities who are designing to avoid passive monitoring or at least have a "dark mode" that's possible to enable?

I think such things should be enshrined in law, however we've not reached that state with the law yet in most places - I don't think?
Linus Torvalds is Finnish and was studying in Finland when he created Linux.
Additionally, it seems like it would be practically zero up front cost for Mozilla to provide a no-telemetry, no-google, no-pocket, no-ads, no-sync, no-experiments, no-privacy-compromise alternative build as a one-click option for people who actually want a privacy-focused browser. Instead, we have to download the normal "product-manager-ized" one and turn off a bunch of intrusive stuff we never really wanted in a browser.

They don't do this, though. I speculate (without any direct knowledge of the situation) that this is because they believe that the majority of their users would opt for this build instead, and they would lose "insights" (and of course revenue).

Someone, somewhere, is prioritizing "line go up and to the right" over embodying the fundamental ethos of a privacy-focused company. If you ship private software, there is of course no line.
Regarding using pure oxyge , NASA decided to continue use it after Apollo 1 fire. Apparently, to reduce weight: [0]. There were however other decisions to change materials used inside the capsule.

Well, the European Publishers Council published an "executive summary" of their complaint

As you seem to understand, to match the quality of Google ad matching process a competitor has to match the AI/ML of Google. Obviously it's not the first thing a spokesperson will say to a news agency.
> [P0] has greatly improve the overall security of the industry.

What is the argument for this?
> Suppose we were going to rate words on a scale of one to ten in two dimensions. First, we are going to rate how old fashioned a word is. Second, we will rate how funny the word seems to us.

> For example, if we wanted to rate "poppycock" we might say that it's a 9 for "old fashioned" and an 8 for "Funny". Poppycock would be 9, 8. Another word, like snail, isn't especially old fashioned or funny. Though, the word has been around a while - we could call it a 5, 2.

This is a sense of "old-fashioned" that I've never heard of. As far as I'm aware, "old-fashioned" is entirely defined by not being in current use. The age of the word is irrelevant, but if it were relevant, and "poppycock" - a word from the 19th century - were a 9 out of 10, "snail" - a word from Old English - would be something more like a 1500 out of 10.
Are you familiar with this practice in Canada?

From my understanding you can pay to have these tissues frozen, but you're still not allowed to actually use them for anything?
I didn’t use an analogy, that requires comparing dissimilar things.

Some comparisons are just literally true, for example Honda vs Acura is the same as Lexus vs Toyota. Their both high end car brands owned by a parent company that also puts out mass market cars. That’s a description of strategy not trying to extract meaning from caparison between dissimilar things.
I use moat here in the sense that it creates some level of defense against competitors. Nike's shoes obviously contain a lot of advanced technology in it, but the strength of their brand what shields them against a newcomers and generics selling similar items.
Separate the tasks of reading and acting. Just open all the mail and read it. Don't act on one until the others are read. Essentially turn the act of reading the mail into a separate task from whatever the actual contents are. This decoupling might help you. Then prioritize and act.

Talking to a therapist could help too.
So, basically, the argument is that is ok to make shitty tracker.
The article didn't shy away from the potential conflict of interest:

> Adding fuel to the mistrust, though, is the role of the EcoHealth Alliance’s Daszak. His close ties with Shi’s lab and his role as a member of the WHO mission’s international team are potentially in conflict. Critics say he can also be less than forthcoming. ...

And in his defense:

> But scientists like the University of Utah’s Goldstein, who do not collaborate with Daszak, told me that there is no evidence that Daszak “wielded disproportionate influence” in the 11-member team.

> Daszak told me in an email that his potential conflicts of interest had been declared to the WHO before he joined the mission team. ...
"...but to see it as a humiliation seems weird to me."

OK, fair enough, but I didn't gain that perspective on my own. Type in 'U.K.', 'Suez Crisis' 'embarrassment' and or 'humiliation' into any search engine and you'll get any number of authoritative references to the fact.

Even though I was a just child at the time, I vividly recall the huge kerfuffle the 'Crisis' caused. I was fully aware of the fact from daily newspaper headlines, animated discussions my parents were having over the matter, etc., that it was about the biggest news story since WWII.

Here's a few first-pass searches to that effect:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/modern/suez_01.shtml (note the BBC's comment 'In Britain too there had been widespread outrage', you'd reckon the BBC would avoid such comments unless they were both very relevant and unavoidable).

Edit/afterthought:

"I was pretty shocked when they interrupted every BBC channel on the TV to deliver an announcement about Prince Phillip dying - I was only vaguely aware of who he was..."

Obviously, you live outside the U.K. or any Commonwealth country (certainly no criticism intended because in the grand global scheme of things, HRH was pretty irrelevant).

(I recall a colleague mentioning his death to me during a telephone conversation (as he heard the announcement live on the radio that was running in the background at the time). That was enough for me to shut out every bit of news media for several weeks—as I knew there would be unavoidable wall-to-wall coverage of the event for weeks to come and frankly I knew that I could not stand all the palaver. Even now, I still don't know the details of his funeral but I do know that those who watched just about any news channel in the English-speaking world would have had to have known the details as they would have been impossible to avoid (of course, I cannot speak for non-English news outlets).

That's why HN is so relevant, one can still keep up to date and avoid all unnecessary/useless dross. :-)
I'd be curious to read up on the parts of XLA design that were inspired by Halide if you have any links. I haven't familiarized myself with XLA/MLIR source code much, but I was under the impression it took a more conventional approach to optimizing compilers (pattern matching rather than generic separation of schedule and compute).
This question was not snark for FP pure functions or otherwise; no ill-will! It needs a legit answer maybe with a small lecture on why radix trees can be FP not pure FP. Hey, I can read and learn.

Other sorts of streaming operations --- message in, transform to new object which is logged or put into a data store most certainly do not need mutation so long as they are cache friendly, performant. FP and friends might even argue: yah ok it's some 10 pct slower but no race conditions, no weird sync. Formal methods are easier there to deploy. Those secondary arguments can be effective too; I'd bite
Seems incomplete without at least some token mention of Lorentz and Poincare.

Gosh, why? From any outsider's perspective, this gives Google P0 much more credibility to show that they are operating on equal terms and not playing a game favoring Google itself.

This trust is the foundation of industry cooperation, otherwise Google P0 would be perceived as a weapon of Google focusing on attacking and disclosing bugs in other companies, most of which are their direct and top competitors.
Honestly not that many practical ones. It does improve the behaviour on ipv6 devices, but not significantly. I admit that for me it's more of a "we know it's happening, so I'd like to support companies not dragging their feet" position. It will hopefully come at some point: https://github.com/vercel/community/discussions/47
The account is still very hard for me to read even so many years after the events. That was one of the few events that caused me to weep as an adult. Space exploration is a combination of curiosity, scientific venture, and boldness that, to me, represent the best of humanity. That day felt like a dream being crushed and watching our heroes die.
Basing it on Julia would make sense for certain reasons, basing it on Coq would make sense for different reasons but basing it on Python, as appears to be the case from the only code sample I've seen, doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Do you have any apps installed that have permit to access your dialer or contacts app?
> But how's that legal?

How is any other job duty legal?

> Is there some special legislation for it? A citizen's arrest requires an actual crime being observed.

Being prohibited from leaving on pain of adverse employment action is not arrest, and does not require a crime. (That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if NASA did have special statutory authority for more binding orders related to spaceflight related emergency situations, not that they would be likely to need either those or even employment sanctions to secure compliance with control room staff staying put while trying to resolve an emergency incident.)
Princeton has an order of magnitude larger financial endowment than Berkeley, if we're comparing resources. I'm not sure if either correlate to "ability to teach a compelling intro course" - depends a lot on the teacher, and dept priorities. As Cal has a million CS majors it'd be easy to imagine them trying to weed out people too.
Sure, I'll try. The structures are all lined up and flush up against each other, and the buildings are bunched up. There's nothing wrong with that, I was just confused by "realistic processes". To me that also means (closer to) realistic functionality at the structures too, both in placement and functionality. Since you mentioned it, it seems like a key part of your game but to me that isn't communicated in the video sample.

Im working on a video game too so I understand the necessity of limitations and shortcuts. And your point could be entirely clear if I were to play the game. I'm just pointing out, IMO, there's a disjoint between what I see and what you say.

Edit: I'll add, I believe the communication and interpretation of game functions is extremely important. Im creating a city builder/simulation game, but the depth of the simulation is determined by what's communicated to the player, not what the code does. I could create an intelligent game AI and a sophisticated economy, but if it doesn't communicate that to the player in any way, then it's no different than RNG to the players eyes.
This looks perfect for staying organized while designing and manufacturing a simple, minimalistic productivity system
I believe the US will go as far as claiming an incursion has occurred without it actually having occurred. Like the movie wag the dog. They will then pressure Europe to enact sanctions which includes NS2 but will them selves not stop purchasing oil from Russia.
Napster is actually a decent legit service now.

The best method though is to buy music direct through something like bandcamp. These streaming services all give tiny amounts of money to artists per play.
And Minkowski.
you set it up so that the IVR announcement WAV file you uploaded was a recording of the DTMF tones for "9" repeatedly? so basically anyone that pressed your buzzer number would get auto-entered into the building?
For anyone interested in NASA or the Columbia tragedy, I recommend the book Bringing Columbia Home (ISBN 978-1948924610).

It's about the recovery effort for the accident debris, which is the largest ground search operation in US history.

Backup cameras are great for avoiding things low to the ground but do give a false sense of security. I managed to back into a fan box at about head level in a parking garage because I became too reliant on the camera alone. If I had turned around to look behind me I could have avoided a thousand dollar repair.
In Ukraine there's a company called EmCell who has been using fetal stem cells for treating a wide range of diseases and autoimmune issues for the last 30 years; research for 30 years, clinical practice 25 years.

There's a free documentary on the clinic that can be watched that explains why they believe it's safe to inject fetal stem cells that are 7-12 weeks old into anyone; there are 50 million legal abortions done annually around the world, and that tissue is otherwise thrown out and considered bio-waste.

There are a number of diseases that aren't curable in North America, however based on their data/experience that it appears that if treated early enough before disease progression damages the healing mechanisms of the body, that different diseases can be not only stopped but also regress (heal/be cured).
...but CS is math. A branch of it, to be exact. A lot of hard problems with computers don't involve CS, and vice versa. What's more, in many places there are separate CS and IT degrees that you can pursue.

Your claim about gatekeeping is later contradicted by the fact that you actually didn't have to obtain that degree at all. I didn't have to either.

I do agree that "Computer Science" is a somewhat misleading name though. It's pretty much as if we called astronomy "Telescope Science" and then wondered why people that come studying it expect to learn about building telescopes, with others arguing that you need to know a fair share of physics in order to build a good telescope anyway (which of course is true, but...).
I'm loving it, and certainly will be using it a lot. One thing, though - 2MB seems like a lot for program of this kind. In comparison, jq on my system has 30kB.
Great point. I've read a lot about Apollo over the years and outside of the changes you mention, the most detailed thing I remember was basically "every aspect of the program looked at what they were doing and made whatever improvements they deemed important to do".
