Well like I said, you could disagree whether they are good reasons but to me they are good reasons.

> An analog radio can do exactly that.

An analogue radio can do anything that an internet connection or digital radio does, but it's sort of redundant to reimplement all the functionality that modern IP gives you just because you don't like the internet.

In particular, my alarm doesn't have any programmable analogue radio, so I'd presumably need some sort of module to interface with my alarm or to change my alarm for one that supports the analogue radio that the car alarm uses. With the internet-based approach, I have a little script that reads my car's API and triggers my home's alarm with its API.

I can also do things like sending me a push notification on my phone if something happens to my car when it's parked in a public car park.

Also, analogue radios aren't necessarily safe either. In most cases, digital technology has better encryption as it's easier to implement. In the UK, signal amplification attacks are becoming an increasingly common way to steal cars, which obviously wouldn't be possible using an internet-backhaul. Digital also tends to use less power and is less prone to interference.

> no software that actually controls the operation of a vehicle should be remotely accessible -- to anyone.

Remote disabling of cars in operation is obviously not good. However, MOST cars implement lockouts by having it so if you turn them off they can't be turned on again, which is a lot safer - and works more like an immobiliser which is a well proven technology. Both this and immobilisers sometimes have faults, but it's probably one of the least likely things to cause a fatal accident on a car.

> But why should something like that be linked to the driving/operation software?

Well I wasn't arguing strictly for linking to driving software, just reasons to connect a car to the internet. But I think the reason these systems have a connection to the operational software is to detect what's actually happened to the car - has the airbag gone off, what was the speed of the impact, what do the sensors say, etc. I don't believe there is any intent that they can control the car, but as soon as you link anything digitally there's always the possibility.

> That's the worst idea.

For most people, it's a great thing. I'm not sure there's ever been an attack caused by a remote update system in a car, but at least in computers, remote auto-update has been one of the best things for security and stability in the last few decades. There are a ton of theoretical issues with it, but in practice the benefits outweigh them.

Imagine your car's fly-by-wire software is discovered to have an unintentional acceleration bug. Remote updates means everyone's car is patched immediately. Traditional updates mean maybe if you bother taking it in for your annual service to an official dealer, it might get patched if they remember. You might be one of the 0.001% who would put it on a USB pen and patch it yourself or obey a recall, but almost nobody else would bother.
no, sorry, it's not like that. Paolo Nori, the writer who was supposed to hold the course, is a well known and loved writer in Italy. Besides being an expert on Russian literature, he's also funny and his lessons are special because he's doing them. The same course on Dostoevsky by any other professor wouldn't have gotten the same attention and interest

Did you suggest they change their device settings? Yours was probably the right approach, I’m just curious whether we have actual data to support that people prefer this split configuration, and aren’t just suffering under bad defaults.
Hum... I don't think anybody expects objects on an orbit near or more internal than the Earth's one to intercept us. The Solar System is quite old, and any nearby object would have already hit us.

All the remaining objects that can intercept us stay far away most of the time.
I am never not confused by this.
The author wants to weed out an old sewing book from the '60s. Apparently, people don't check it out that much, but is that really a good reason for getting rid of it? Also, the author's willingness to weed out the book seems very influenced by the book's dated aesthetics:

"Note the “groovy” cover."

"I want to weed this one based on the home decorating in the last picture below."

Here's how amazon reviewers felt about the book:

"Just what I needed to use my vintage sewing machine feet more effectively which was original intent when I bought the book but wow'd by the great info for sewing and illustrations. Great resource book to have whether beginner or advanced"

"This book is great if you have any older vintage Singer machines."

"It's the complete guide. Good for beginners to experienced. 72 yrs old male. father was upholster, mother drapery and seimstress, Good for helping me out for what I forgot"

We shouldn't focus on patching stuff when the core of the system is rotten, we need to dig deep, possibly do a rewrite. This is a peripheral thing that may just be fixed for free if we deal with the core.
It is pretty hard to rip Blu Rays, from my surface level understanding only one piece of software supports it (MakeMKV), and only certain Blu Ray drives with specific versions of firmware support it.
There is something conspicuously missing in this article that deserves a mention: fantasy themes were also prominently featured in some kinds of heavy metal music (basically, still are), which is something that also raised the ire of conservative parents.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lvs2FzF64o

Also, some times fantasy themes appeared in metal videos, even if the content of the song had nothing to do with it. I believe the bands or their promoters were just playing into this to piss of the parents (even more).

For example, Mötley Crüe's video for "Looks That Kill":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wPHxQMgdKs

Mötley Crüe was basically just a party band: more about sex, drugs and rock'n'roll, than about any fantasy nonsense. The song "Shout at the Devil" on the same-named album, and the Satanic imagery and whatnot, was almost certainly likewise just to piss of conservative Christian parents.
That's a very broad statement.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think "NPI" here means "non-pharmaceutical intervention".

What a horrible acronym! Was it coined by the pharmaceutical industry? "To fight COVID, we have vaccines, antivirals, steroids, novel pharmaceutical approaches, and then we have a miscellaneous category of non-pharmaceutical interventions."

You could've used "PPE" here. (personal protective equipment.)

They're not comparable. Trying to compare them suggests that you don't understand what the issue is with the `(low + high) / 2` case, or you don't want to acknowledge it.

Simple addition will fail if the result of the expression should fall outside the range of integers expressible for a given integer width—because it can't fit. That's not insightful. It's facile. The criticism of the naive midpoint computation is not facile.

The problem with using `(low + high) / 2` to compute the midpoint (instead of `(high - low) / 2 + low`) is that it will give invalid results even when the data type from the signature is wide enough that the expected result can fit.
This is why D&D was kind of underground where I lived in the rural south as a kid in the 80s and early 90s, and that's on top of of the very severe social stigma associated with it and other 'nerd' activities.

> Are you buying hidef audio in flac tho or flac where the source is the cd after whatever compression and normalisation has been applied?

That would only be applicable if the two versions are mastered differently. Is there any reason/empirical evidence that's the case? I think the reasonable default assumption is that the recording studio just exports the same master for flac and cds, because it saves work. If they're going off the same master, then the only difference is 16 bit 44.1khz PCM audio for CDs, vs 16/24/32 bit 44.1/48/96/192khz audio for "hidef audio in flac" which is imperceptible.

Many training and inference workloads run in the cloud or on remote servers and profiling them is not straightforward. Having a SaaS makes things much simpler, and also enables additional features, such as team access and sharing. As far as the data privacy is concerned, profiles do not contain any model or raw data, just resource usage, execution statistics, etc., which is acceptable for most of the users to send to a third party. And for the business model, in my opinion, SaaS allows to better monetize the offering and ensure better and up-to-date end product in this case. But this is open, we may consider a free client-side version as well at some point.
However, while carbon neutral from trees would have been great in the past and hopefully will be again in the future, right now it’s not our saviour because it takes decades to rebind the carbon in a new tree and we don’t have decades anymore.

So it’s like natural gas, a marginally better thing than coal and oil but still not great.

Same with carbon offsets from planting trees, it might be fine to require planting trees for every flight or something but it really should not be used to “offset” the emissions because it won’t.

I was looking at this the other day, and was wondering how nuclear weapons would actually be targeted against the US. Would they be aimed at city centers or nearby infrastructure? Would each city be targeted with one warhead, or blanketed with several over a large area?

Because if there's a full-scale nuclear war, if the Russians only target the center of my city, I probably have a chance of surviving. However if they target the civilian airport (where there's also a small ANG presence) or use multiple warheads for the metro area, I'll probably be vaporized.

Obviously I know no one posting here can answer definitively, since I'm asking about some of the toppest of top secret stuff.
About $120,000 I guess according to the article. They are selling it for $272k and the article says it would be subject to a 44.8% import tax.
In my current role I had to do an algorithm question. It would be an easier medium on leetcode. I wouldn’t describe the environment the way you have at all.
Times have certainly changed when the media panic was about D&D instead of war, pandemic, existential environmental change and the future of democracy. Though back then the threat of nuclear war hung over everyone all the time, so maybe not so different.

> The CFD manufacture and disposal cost are sunken costs

Yes but the manufacture and disposal of the LED aren't yet. The calculation you want is whether running the inefficient CFL ends up being better than the energy used in the whole supply chain of manufacturing and shipping the LED bulb.

Switching means spending led_rate + 2 supply_chain costs while keeping your old bulbs means cfl_rate + 1 supply_chain. I'd put money that the latter being better for the environment.

Edit: To the person who downvoted me but didn't reply do tell how literally throwing away a 10W CFL and replacing it with a 6W LED is better for the environment than just using the CFL until it breaks and then buying an LED.

FoundationDB is a key/value store, and well-known for being fast, scalable and incredibly reliable. It passed many of the distributed database tests unlike many competitors. Here's a good HN thread when Apple open-sourced it a few years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16877395

CockroachDB implements postgres-compatible SQL layer on top of their own key/value store called Pebble. This is similar to TiDB which implements mysql on top of their TiKV key/value store.

The latter databases offer easier programming with SQL interfaces, but since you can model just about anything on top of key/value store, there are already "layers" that can implement similar abstractions on top of FDB like the Record Layer[1], Document Layer [2], and even a SQL layer [3] at one point.

Healthcare being tied to employment in the US is what keeps this from being more popular. If your employer is going to pay a fixed amount of premium every month, they will want as many hours as they can get out of you.

Interesting. I didn't expect the thermal radiation to be farther away than the blast radius. I would've thought they overlapped. Almost makes it sound like you're most likely to survive a nuclear bomb if you're closer to it than farther away, up to a certain point.
While still somewhat cheaper than prime Bay Area real estate in absolute sense, the price edge in San Diego and North County has rapidly diminished in the last couple of years.

Saw one go $1M above asking recently. It's pretty bonkers.
> So they need to understand the complex parts of the language and why they are like that, and the easiest way to do that is to start where C++ started, i.e. with C.

Unless you're talking a very old & not well maintained codebase, there's not really any benefit to starting with C if your goal is to learn C++. It's probably more harmful than anything, even, as it'll teach you things that are bad form in C++. Like using malloc & free - even 'new' and 'delete' are poor form in modern C++, it's all std::make_unique or std::make_shared.

Let's Encrypt is the lone, singular CA that actually already had a defense against this attack.

> In multiple vantage point verification, a CA performs domain control validation from many vantage points spread throughout the Internet instead of a single vantage point that can easily be affected by a BGP attack. As we measured in our 2021 USENIX Security paper, this is effective because many BGP attacks are localized to only a part of the Internet, so it becomes significantly less likely that an adversary will hijack all of a CAs diverse vantage points (compared to traditional domain control validation). We have worked with Let’s Encrypt, the world’s largest web PKI CA, to fully deploy multiple vantage point validation, and every certificate they sign is validated using this technology (over a billion since the deployment in Feb 2020). Cloudflare also has developed a deployment as well, which is available for other interested CAs.

> But multiple vantage point validation at just a single CA is still not enough. The Internet is only as strong as its weakest link. Currently, Let’s Encrypt is the only certificate authority using multiple vantage point validation and an adversary can, for many domains, pick which CA to use in an attack. To prevent this, we advocate for universal adoption through the CA/Browser Forum (the governing body for CAs).

That defense alone is still not perfect ("some BGP attacks can still fool all of a CA’s vantage points"), but that's the state of the art.
