> Nato countries can’t just ship out military to the vicinity because an attack on one country would then mean that Russia is closer to Nato member countries.

This raises many issues: 1) Sending military resources isn't the only response. 2) What is the vicinity? NATO territory nearby (which is happening)? Ukraine itself (which isn't happening)? 3) Finland and Sweden are not members because they choose not to be; afaik NATO would accept them. 4) You say NATO 'can't' send military to the vicinity (though they are) because Russia is closer (which is a clear military risk), but you imply that NATO being closer to Russia is a reasonable concern for the latter. There's also a difference between a revanchist, violent power which has already annexed parts of two countries and threatens many more (Russia), and one which hasn't annexed anything (NATO).

>> Also, the US has a different kind of 'obligation' to democracy, peace, prosperity

> To find someone that still believes that line feels like finding a time capsule

To find someone who makes replaces evidence and reason with mockery is not, unfortunately, uncommon these days. But regardless, that's all you've provided, which amounts to nothing. Do you have any evidence or reason, or even a clear assertion, or just mockery?
Flask fails after itsdangerous module’s update
Mm, no, you're right. But they'd spend a lot less on research, they'd have to. I don't claim to know a lot about that industry so I may be wrong, it's just an example. Can't think of an example where patents are more defensible though.
Per capita wealth is greater in the US and large parts of the US are considerably colder with much worse weather in the winter.
>If the FBI is to the point of executing warrants, it's simply standard operating procedure to freeze all known assets.

>I've had it bluntly explained to me by a federal prosecutor that they do it specifically so you cannot mount a legal defense due to your inability to hire a quality attorney.

That this authoritarian tactic is standard operating procedure makes this whole affair worse and more sordid, not better. If we had a functioning legal system the 4th Amendment would protect people from government activities like this.
My girlfriend, who was not trying to diet, lost about 20 lbs when she studies abroad in Italy, because she had to walk everywhere.
Probably, in much the same way as a vice president is a low level employee at Goldman Sachs. "Global community development" sounds to me like a team that was named to sound impressive, not a team that actually determines Facebook's global priorities.
The inevitable problem for the copy writers for this sort of thing is that the correct choice is always the one they're discouraging.
This is how I assumed the ones near me operate - they are mostly independent and a live person takes over if it gets in trouble or encounters a tough situations. I can imagine one person being able to operate more than 5 if they have solid pathing.
Running the same script every time doesn't necessarily guarantee the same result.

Lots of docker build scripts have the equivalent of

date > file.txt

or

curl https://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=1&max=1000&col=1&base=10&format=plain&rnd=new > file.txt

Buried deep somewhere in the code.

But yeah I don't see any reason why you couldn't theoretically make a reproducible build with Docker.
Did you have any trouble getting a job with the sentence on your resume? Just curious
"Completely meaningless" and "in no way comparable?"

These statements are rather extreme and seem impossible to support. Energy output per mile with real world cycling has enormous variance as well. Why so much concern for precision regarding one and not the other?

I don't think there's much point in continuing here.
I agree that software patents are inherently bad, along with maths.

I still see a role for patents in other spheres, although the current system seems deeply flawed.

The main problem to be addressed in how we ensure society as a whole benefits from original research. The original conception of patents was to grant limited rights for original ideas, as long as the work is published and does not remain secret.
I just got into woodworking as a hobby to keep me active - physically and mentally. So, actually, I do actually want a rather nice drill. The hole it creates is a byproduct of mind, body and tool.

And on safety, what I really want is a sawstop. I'm super super careful, but uh. I really really really don't want to lose my fingers and have them sewn back on. Safety is a really good quality to have, even if it's not idiot proof, even if I can lose my fingers in so many other ways with so many other tools. I want that little bit more, anything just about to not end up in the E.R.
Nothing, prison is a warehouse. Remember though all that occurred was property damaged and a level of intimidation that would make a person of sturdy character laugh, on the spectrum of political action it really was not that extreme
4-5C scenarios are implausible, 2-3C more plausible, 2C within reach
Because I've explored them before and you don't have any new points. You make the assumption I did not look at the white paper, but you are wrong on this too.

There is no productive conversation to have here
There aren't 60,000 employees who are the Head of Global Community Development. I'm not sure how far up the org chart that position is but I'm betting it's up in the top 1% of the company. It's not like this is the janitor or the person stocking the supply closet.
I consider them indigenous, though you’re correct that they weren’t always there. They were, to the best of my knowledge, the first people to inhabit that place. Much as, where I’m from, Native Americans weren’t always here, but are accepted as the first people.

The Dune wiki, for what it’s worth, describes them as a Native people:

In American jurisprudence, the police can be as deceptive as they want to be in interrogations. They can say that a confederate confessed, that they have evidence, that the victim died or identified the suspect, regardless of the truth of those statements. See the recent Nightingale case, which is hilarious because criminals are idiots.

"""Ferland and Keegan suggested to Nightingale that they potentially had satellite photography of his car at the Millers’ home; had DNA test results showing that Nightingale’s DNA was on a doorknob and a locking mechanism at the Millers’ home, which was significant because it appeared that the last person out had locked the door; had found flakes of Nightingale’s skin on the Millers’ bodies; and had recovered fingerprint or DNA evidence on money that the detectives told Nightingale they had seized from his father. These were “realistic bluffs” and untrue."""
Ticketmaster is largely a manual operation at this point and has a pretty high overhead. They are hemorrhaging their tech staff and currently profitable because of their position in the market, collusion with scalpers and the high priced tickets they can sell (so they are still profitable post high overhead).

To displace them, you copy them but automate operations to reduce costs and pass the savings to the customer as the market and product risks have already been addressed by them.

The meatspace risk is getting access/contracts to the tickets they can sell.
Ah, walkie talkie and wifi, of course! :) I suppose a good starting point would be to just buy some commercially available walkie talkies and see what sorts of modulation is possible. Cheers!
Go and Rust are from the same generation of programming languages. Yet one is building mass-adopted software like Kubernetes and Hashistack and Prometheus/OpenMetrics, while the other is pretty firmly in hype & thinkpiece phase.

I can't imagine a serious blog post in 2022 questioning the purpose of Go because it is evident in the large amount of enterprise software being written in it.
This is how they move away from the OS being their cash cow: using the OS as a gateway for all their cloud services. For that they want everyone to have and use a Microsoft account.

It's just like how airlines used to make money with plane tickets, but now they mostly lose money with the tickets and make it back with everything else (both nickel-and-diming you and frequent flier miles). Flying is cheaper now, but incentives were better aligned when tickets were the cash-cow.
Calling it "pretend" is both dismissive and begs the question. The people you want to call "Hispanics" are ethnically rather diverse, far from homogeneous. The similarities you see originate in ignorance. Mexicans aren't Columbians, Brazillians aren't Portuguese and all of these countries are home to many different ethnic groups with their own histories, languages, cultures and genetics.
I agree the current system is deeply flawed. The question I want to address is how do we ensure original ideas are not lost to humanity (either because they are kept secret, or because the research is never done in the first place).
Depending on your hardware, you may be able to utilize Looking Glass[1]. It’s software for running games in a virtual machine that has a dedicated graphics card. I do not meet the requirements myself (and will not anytime soon with current graphics card prices), but the concept looks somewhat solid.

For the Rpi, the storage device might be your limiting factor... (not the storage device itself, but connection to it from the Pi)
sorry, fixed now.
One interesting secondary effect: people are now saying Reddit (the company) is participating in a coverup, even to the extent of deleting accounts. https://twitter.com/simpbloodbath/status/1494464667032252432...

I want to say “I doubt that’s true,” but that’s the thing about propaganda. It’s often hard to tell.

EDIT: it seems true: https://www.reddit.com/r/CrazyFuckingVideos/comments/suq88j/...

Hmm. That’s not a great look. On the other hand, the submitter’s account still seems to be active. Maybe they reversed.
I would add this is as much about recruiting as the stock price. The scandals are crushing morale. Top engineers can go work at Apple and build the actual devices that enable FB, TikTok, etc. Or they can go work to transition the planet to sustainable energy at Tesla. Or go work on making life interplanetary at SpaceX. Or they can go build spyware, aimed at convincing people to buy shoes, at Facebook.

They needed a more exciting vision to continue to attract top talent, which is generally a prerequisite for a high stock price anyway.
A quarter decade? So you were a Windows guy for a couple of years?
I'm having one of those false memory experiences. I 'know' that the 1.2GHz band was used for earlier WiFi specs and yet Wikipedia disagrees.

In fact this is allocated to Ham radio and that has rules (poorly enforced due to budget constraints) up the wazoo.
I got a Dell Ultrawide 38" for this reason. Unfortunately it has a charging USB-C bug that conflicts with Apple hardware and Dell doesn't care about. They explicitly tell that they only support Windows. The display is awesome, but still.
It comes down to monitoring, alerting, and followup. In other words, "good ops", which is lacking almost everywhere. Unfortunately that is always a moving target, with added complexity being that we're an external service provider and have limited authority in the client environment. Also, the sorts of companies that outsource their ops will also be willing to change providers multiple times, so it's often like trying to live in a library that has seen many generations of librarians each with their own ideas for how things ought to be organized.
Dialing up the annoyance level to a 11. Microsoft has spent the last 6 years or more glacially gravitating its OS-developer features towards Ubuntu. Because they couldn't do better - VSCode being the one crowning glory - and not an insignificant one. The side annoyances of a barely functional Cortana & Edge, were things I looked past, now add one more, a required account - we'll be led into unknown realms of integration (not of tools) but of 'marketing identity' and SSO .

Developers by the very nature of their job are OK with torture, so I guess this will go un-noticed. Hopefully it will be unobtrusive as well, I mean how many more roadblocks can MS put up on that path to WSL prompt/environment. Its a small price to pay - (negative shout-out to System 76). But hopefully Win11 is more intuitive/bearable for people who live on the CLI.
OR Get rid of superfluous school administration jobs. There's a lot of useless or superfluous middle management in colleges. But you're not going to get rid of them because they make the hiring decisions.

1. I don't know anything about the accreditation process, but sure, if there's excess spending there then not allowing people to bribe accreditors definitely seems like a positive decision. I can't imagine that fixes millions of dollars worth of tuition cost... But ultimately not opposed to it.

2. Famously high schools teaching people classes means they use it later on in life. Not saying we shouldn't teach people budgeting, just that I doubt that it will fix the number of kids that go to college when high schools also want people to go to college.

I have a little similar story :)

My wife had to do something and asked me to disable internet when I go to work so she won't waste time. I was in hurry and I just switched the "WAN" and "LAN" wires in my router. It worked, I went to work.

About 2 hours later my wife called me and said that guys from the internet provider came and asked her to fix it because the internet broke for everybody in nearby buildings who use that provider. My router was assigning local IPs to everybody :)

I do not have a criminal record. The wonderful conservative/liberal coalition updated the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 so my conviction became spent. That said I currently work for a 1000 employee plus employer and they never did a criminal record check but others have.
Since nobody has yet demonstrated tritium breeding, a citation is actually not needed.

There exist purely theoretical models where neutron multiplication is used so that the single fast neutron generated in a D+T reaction can breed more than a single tritium atom when it hits li-6 (which would be clearly insufficient to have a self fueling rector).

It's all a complex mess of absorption cross sections and neutron spectra, dependent on lithium blanket geometries, coolant and structural material parasitic interactions. The tritium breeding efficiency today sits at exactly 0% and until that changes, concerns that it may never reach the required 110% are at least somewhat warranted.
OP here: in these notes are processes for 2 multi-billion dollar sales and most of the points applied to those as well.
OK, let me rephrase:

- 100% of devices with a hard-wired cable are USB-A

- Most of the rest are USB-mini or USB-micro and 100% of the cables that came with them or that I've acquired since have an A connector on the other end.

- Nearly all my USB-C devices are for recent game consoles and I wouldn't plug them in to my MacBook except maybe to charge them.

> Of course, if you did need to connect a USB-A device to your laptop, a USB-A to USB-C cable will do that, and are much easier to find than USB-A to USB-A cables you'd need if it was a USB-A-only laptop.

Oh gee I didn't know adapters existed, thanks.
What surprises me is:

1) "Three plain-clothes policemen arrested Cornelius as he left the airport."

So, if he hadn't left the airport, he would have been safe?

2) "The bank convinced an English court to hand over all three of Cornelius’s properties in London"

Given his denial of a lawyer etc I'm surprised that an English court agreed to carry on without him. Where are the requests to allow him to participate?
> Can you use Apple products without an account?

yes and no

ios devices must hook to internet to activate. they must phone home. That said you can navigate the dark patterns and don't need to use apple id (but you also can't install apps, etc)

for mac you can say this device doesn't connect to the internet. but as soon as you do it phones home.
My partner works at an aquarium and the amount of personality that fish & marine animals have is incredible!

A lot of fish love sand/gravel baths. So when they spot a diver in the tank they’ll either look for food or wait for when to sprinkle sand/gravel overhead.

If you own an aquarium at home you can also begin to learn the personality of your tank critters. (I also define personality in animals as “different” from personality in humans. They are not equivalent, but individual animals still have unique behaviors that separate them from others in their species)

If you use Instagram, try and follow your local ZAA/AZA accredited aquarium or zoo. They often share clips of unique behavior & can often be pretty educational.
I agree with your point, but disagree in that it should be easy to check your email. The web is the natural solution to this.
Agreed, a new guy will come and just add a second line, creating a bug
This pretty standard interview question. You should keep track of the current minimum when you do a push:
push 1:
[(v=1,m=1)]
push -1:
[(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1)]
push 3:
[(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1), (v=3, m=-1)]
get_min:
[(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1), (v=3, m=-1)]
returns m=-1
pop:
[(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1)]
returns v=3
get_min:
returns -1

In addition to the margin of error on food labels, there's also the margin of error on blood tests, which IIRC from the spec's on the one my wife uses it too is about +/- 20%.

If you have the misfortune of having those errors match up (and they will at times) they you eat something that overestimates carbs by 20% and a blood test that overestimates your current glucose level by 20%. Give yourself a corresponding dose of insulin and drive your levels through the floor.
Developing Embedded Rust Drivers with Pretty HAL Machine
Yeah. Runners call it the wall; cyclists call it "bonking".

I've been told that it can come on more suddenly and acutely for cyclists. As a marathoner I find that I feel it coming for several miles, which is tens of minutes. The activities are somewhat different so it's not impossible that they manifest differently.

But the basic idea is similar. You've got so much readily available glycogen in the body, and when it runs out, you have to shift to a different metabolic pathway -- and your body starts sending up warnings that you are rapidly running out of reserves and must stop now.

It's as much mental as physical at that point.
More like Apples to Apple Core, but sure.
Do you agree that storing passwords in plain text is a problem?

My point is that storing passwords in a way compatible with using Digest authentication is essentially equivalent to storing your passwords in plain text, at least with respect to your own site’s authentication.
If you want plausible deniability just have a few obscure ctfs cloned next to your fake ctfs that you haven't solved yet.
I'm really skeptical that holds up on the later part of that interval.
Just to clarify my story above, kid had taken keys without Dad's knowledge.

Dad might be a bad parent, he might not. Lots of good parents have kids who do dumb stuff. I had great parents and I ended up in jail. So I can't say I think Dad deserved to lose his car.
a) not your problem

b) government freezes accounts one by one, it isnt a sanction on you accessing the financial system, it is based on allegations raised against the money they find and have control over at financial institutions via an order on the licensed financial institutions looking for your name. it remains legal - if you are a citizen or not a foreigner on the OFAC list - to have fungible money.
INE Cyber Security Platform Review
My experience of using INE's cyber security pass for the last 3 months. Anyone else using it and had a different experience?
I've been using macOS for 10 years. Can't fathom going to anything else at this point. Especially anything that requires as much maintenance and DIY as desktop Linux does. I'm fine with running Linux on my servers though — it's robust, simple and reliable for this purpose.

Besides, I simply don't like the approach Linux takes to desktop. The desktop should be part of the system, not a bunch of loose add-on components that you can mix and match and pray they work together.
Reddit admins themselves removing reposts? Seems unlikely.

And sure, it’s #1 now. The point was that they were doing this as the story was unfolding.

If you look at the timestamps, there’s a pretty big gap between the one at #1 and the one I linked. It’s pretty strange seeing admins remove a post like this. And a bunch of people are saying they saw the account get suspended.
Classic crackpot conspiracy theory that was right after all, must be a record this year

As for the motivations, the government forced everyone having these tests. In hundreds of different companies. They knew this was bound to happened, and they wanted it, because they don't want China to have genome sequencing research edge as authoritarian countries have less red tape to collect and experiment their people medical data, that would give them scientific and economic advantage
> There is no excuse, especially thanks to Valve for their work enhancing wine ecosystem and making your games work.

While Proton is great, it helps no one to suggest it's a solution to making all games work. There are absolutely enormous multiplayer titles still unavailable
on Proton, if you can't play the games your friends play who cares if 99% of the rest of the Steam library works?

Again, I think Proton is great, and only getting better. It is not though a drop in replacement for a Windows gaming machine, for most people, yet.
What statements are you wanting to hold him responsible for?
Most SWEs at my job (FAANG) run Linux on their workstations (not sure if there is even a other option), and a lot of them run it on their company laptops too (the other popular option is using a Mac laptop)
This week I installed samba on a raspberry pi running Ubuntu server to provide active directory domain services to my home network. The Windows computers in the house are now joined to the domain. It was easy and quick to setup. There are a ton of guides to setting up samba as an AD domain controller on Ubuntu out there.
Thanks for specifying what you're looking for. These are the sorts of posts that help guide me in my projects.
Docker images actually contain the timestamp each layer was built at, so are basically de-facto non-reproducible.

Buildah from Red Hat has an argument to set this programmatically instead of using the current date, but AFAIK there's no way to do that with plain old docker build.
I see these issues quite frequently so at least for the last 5 years.
You don't store them as plain text, you store them as hashes.

And then you send a server salt/nonce and the browser hashes the plain text password with the salted hash in your database and then with the server salt/nonce.

Still HTTPS solves nothing of that.

I don't even know what Digest is... I'm talking this RFC:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2289
I think the point you responded to was talking about copying the encrypted data before attempting to unlock it.
