Lack of professionalism and following through with promises at scale sound like massive reasons for this. I say think of ant colonies, especially in the work from home era (I'll have some grace to beg the sensible people lets ignore covid rather than the authors ranting).

Ant colonies are hugely successful yet estimates are only about 1/3 of workers actually work. There is no 'ant-police' there is no 'don't work no food', this is just the way that it ends up.

In human situations I can count from experience being one of that 1/3 that work a lot even out of hours or when left un-monitored I know I'm in a minority because I'll throw up an experimental full stack deployment in a week with new toys/tooling/features and run into meetings to listen to someone winge about having difficulty in deploying a new ssl cert on an nginx box entirely because the instructions are only 3-4 months out of date.

This used to drive me nuts but I've come to accept humans at scale are mote like ants. This even applies to the good ones. They're normally only working 1/3 of their time, hence why project management needs to more accurately account for this rather than thinking they can encourage the average person to be the super-geek who has fun turning on the light using https-over-dns-over-shoe-string one weekend because they simply wondered if they can.

People unfortunately then take this as an insult that I'm comparing to them as ants.

My response is, if you understand this correctly you've identified you're a normal rounded human being, congrats, enjoy this and go contribute to society in the way that makes you special.

If you are insulted that I've identified you're working 1/3 of your time, either a) you're striving to be a super-nerd when you're not, please consider changing, this isn't healthy for you, or b) you are actually one of these super-worker people and get annoyed at the rest of the system like me, try moving into a career where you enjoy your work rather than trying to be the next millionaire, unless you love working in the markets, in which case, go for it and have fun :)
In the end once cities cover the basics have not that many opportunities to stay in the news with a somewhat positive impression.

The name recognition is not going to be the core decision point for someone to spend holidays there or relocate there.

But if you are relocating to a city and have three to choose from where non stands out in particular you might assume that the one with the stronger sports team is more vibrant or dynamic than the others.
It should count, and this is what I would recommend to use.

“What to expect from Putin in the coming days.” FSB letters (tweets)
I completely agree with this statement, but the core behind this argument is about the essence of taxation as a whole: nobody should be forced, with violence or threat of violence, to pay for something he doesn't want to consume.

It doesn't matter if it's a stadium, a hospital or a subway.
I mean... sometimes you want to install 3rd party, non-appstore software, and not having that possibility is a fuck-up for me (and a reason not to buy apple).
Same, for Finland. The movie Midsommar really captures the mood of endless sunlight.
I still don't get what people use these devices for.
Working on a large corporation, I liken our AV deployments and endpoint security as the invisible hand of productivity destruction.
I’m not saying these products don’t block malware, I’m not disagreeing with you at all.

It should be stated that, with a high degree of confidence, deploying these measures against your internal employees personal systems and cloud deployments WILL invariably lead to the destruction of employee output and system performance, when things inevitably do go wrong and whole operating systems are hosed if not obliterated.

Back up your data folks +Your environments +Your passwords.

It can take weeks to get back up to full speed when your system dies to AV or anything else.
I wonder if regular exposure means the body adapts.

> you are imputing motive to Linux advocates that's not real

I didn't say "Linux advocates" I said "MANY Linux advocates". Linux users can be broadly bisected along various criteria and one of them is how much they care about "saving users from themselves" a.k.a. "knowing what's best for you". I include in that group people who will say that using Windows is fine, but will needle and jab at anyone they see using non-free software, as though it's their civic duty to goad people into submission.
You don't need warez at all. For example, people might want to run Microsoft Office on the deck if they hook it up to a dock (which Valve will sell later).

You can't run Office on Linux, of course, but there are plenty of scripts you can download to set up a VM and do some remote desktop trickery (I've just recently gotten cassowary running on my laptop for exactly this use case).

It's the small touches like these that are the problem. Linux on the desktop, and especially Arch based Linux as is running on the Deck, eventually needs some kind of shell script to work around some kind of issue or lacking feature that people have come to expect from Windows.

Hell, even the "official" software stores will eventually become polluted because let's be honest, nobody guards Flatpak against malware and promising to make games run faster combined with a YouTube/Tiktok campaign will probably get enough installs to get plenty of hacked Steam accounts.

I've never seen an offering for Linux AV that doesn't require some kind of endpoint server setup. Most Linux viruses attack servers, and those seem to be the target of the Linux AV industry. ClamAV exists, but that's probably all you can say about that, it's not exactly difficult to evade.
Well I'm arguing as to why exactly one would use cryptocurrencies for payments "Web 3" over using "Web 2.0" payment companies and I just explained that and its use cases.

Of course one can use cryptocurrencies with Web 2. But try doing the above with the banks, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, etc.

It seems that this is proof that cryptocurrencies not only can work together with Web 2 websites but they are also here to stay.
Homosexuality is still illegal, isn't it?

[We are] something in between, it is the way the society is."[13][14]
Kaspersky is indeed FSB controlled, lot of proofs of that in last 10 years, but of course they will not just upload all your data or brick PC in revenge for sanctions (well may be they will if told nuclear war has been started). They will behave according to the agreement, and just let FSB peek a bit for data they legitimately getting. Same as Microsoft / Google / Apple / Amazon etc. relationship with multiple US spying agencies.

Credit where credit is due: this is a rarely good release.

Cynical me has observed this annual pattern where Apple just before their developer conference suddenly becomes "genuinely" interested in the web community and actively listens to feedback. Then, things get back to normal, which means they don't implement anything, all feedback goes to /dev/null, documentation is lacking and bugs are never solved.

It's hard to get past this cynical angle because even in this release they're boasting about how they're "first" to implement something, whilst it remains to be the browser lagging years behind. Typical Apple, fluffy marketing with zero self-reflection.

I did see there's lots of webkit vacancies at Apple now, so one can hope things are changing for the better. Probably because it looks better to regulators.
I found the write up of the Dazzle Walk itself to be a much more fascinating read http://walkspace.uk/2021/03/birmingham-dazzle-walk/
I remember the time I took a 1200 baud modem and a phone cord to school with me so that I could log into the county library system, which provided shell accounts, and check my email during class. My physics teacher didn’t seem very appreciative, but the kids with lesser calculators were impressed.
If the teachers are so good at these exams that they can flash-solve them, why aren't they doctors? Surely that pays better than teaching at a cram school?
Why even bother changing countries then?!?!
> specifically blocks ransomware

If microsoft made the "shadow copy"/"previous versions"/"system restore" functionality a core part of the kernel that even someone with admin rights can't mess with (which it almost is already), then that could be used to roll the system back to 5 mins before ransomware infection easily.
Ah, so MANGAM is the new FAANG ?
I did buy the motorized curtains. It is quite expensive, but works pretty well. I'm really happy about them, nothing beats natural light to wake up.
My country was like that: solely focusing on one entrance exam to determine your life.

Finally education reform happened and extensive extracurricular achievements are now taken into consideration.

Now those extracurricular achievements are thoroughly gamed. Helping in homeless kitchen, beach cleanup, book club president, awards at science fair, whatever, you name it, everyone is doing everything now. (mostly richer kids have more help though)

So the kids after reform nowadays, they not only have to prepare for a huge exam, but also find time to do all those extensive activities. Some would even miss the old days where they only have to carefully prep for one exam.
Are you trying to ignite a flamewar.
The illusion of cybersecurity is finally being questioned.

AV scanning emails has been a phishing scam for decades which benefits the criminals.

Because so many people have worked on so many parts of a computer beit the hardware or software, who do you trust when you dont trust random strangers in the street and people like to gossip and spread rumours? Is this a classic case of cognitive dissonance or just shows giving money for something makes someone/something instantly trustworthy when their own survival comes before yours?
Liverpool is definitely more known for The Beatles than its football team.

I'm also going to have to disagree on the Europe point.

South America, Mexico and Africa in particular are obsessed with football, and Russia, China and some parts of SEA are also huge football fans. Many of these will be well aware of the top British and Spanish football teams. On the other hand, basketball is also very popular in Asia so I don't know exactly how that would break.

I live in France and we have the same shutters (metal plates rolling vertically with th esmall holes that can be uncovered).

I automate what I can at home - the CHO (Chief Home Officer - my wife) mostly disapproves because of some weird concerns about reliability (70% of availability for lights is that I call great, but opinions vary).

There is a simple solution for the shutters - you can use a Shelly 2.5 (https://shelly.cloud/products/shelly-25-smart-home-automatio...) that you connect in parallel to the shutter. It works wonders if you have a manual switch on the wall and probably with a remote too (I specifically asked for a manual switch on the wall). You can program the device itself to open the shutters at, say, 10 minutes before sunrise or whatever. You can easily remove them when you leave your flat and reuse somewhere else.

I find how misleading these illustrations are, hilarious. The average European looked subsaharan African (chedderman) 9-10k years ago, but 24k years ago, I'm supposed to believe light skinned Asians with thin straight hair existed.

This is absolutey wrong and is history denial. Black people were in the Americas long before the Olmecs in central America (another ancient African civilization).

All these "Asian" people were highly melanated black people, (Asian historians understand this fact) and they are descendants of mostly fishermen related to Khoikhoi and modern day Xhosa people of south Africa.

If you could build PKI in a decentralized, privacy preserving manner for all internet users that’d be huge. So far no-one succeeded.
> accounts are never deleted, period

Want to just add my voice to others who’ve already said this isn’t true.

I work at a company where the task to ensure that every last shred of a person’s data is deleted when they leave the service took a whole team more than a year to develop. It includes all backups and databases, and is complete shortly after 45 days have elapsed (which is in our T&C to ensure that users have enough time to migrate their data, or even reverse their decision).
No, thanks.

I mean: you didn't mention who else was involved. And I’m not going to deny the evidence - I understand there are not so many “clean” players in this league.
That's bad advice. It's a trade-off. Installing antivirus opens some security holes and closes others. It also adds heuristic analysis. It seems to me that the security world has come to the consensus that AV is better than no AV.
Convert Figma to Code
Assume, just for the sake of argument, that Kaspersky has no back doors and no connections to state organs.

What would you, as Kaspersky CEO, would say?
This is the case only for the first few hours. Sure, the new releases are checked against the current AV engines. But there's no magic that will prevent them from being detected in a week. And unless you're being actively targeted or extremely unlucky, that means AV will catch most things for you.
Azure Quantum demonstrates physics to build topological qubit
The first years of the Kleptocracy were, at lest formally, politically more or less democratic. Also possibly a few years somewhere in there between the revolutions of 1905 and 1917; perhaps some of the last years of Czarist rule could be said to have been more of a contitutional monarchy than an absolute one.

But yeah, that's at most two decades out of the last thousand years or whatever. So on the whole as soon as the Russian people have got rid of one dictatorship, they seem to have been pretty damn eager to replace it with another one.
That's a really nice and interesting board. Expensive (above $300), but lots of RAM (16GB), two SATA ports and two 1GB ethernet ports.

This could be really interesting as a powerful router/NAS combination.
Maybe Porto? Never been, but I've heard great things! Maybe check out the Nomadlist listing (heh): https://nomadlist.com/porto
The posting I responded to was about a case where the transactions themselves cannot be deleted since they must be retained for accounting reasons, so the same reasoning applies here: If they need to retain the messages/bookings/... for legal/accounting reasons, then they're exempt. If they don't need to retain them, they can just delete them.
>On the other hand there will be a very large portion of society who will become obsolete with absolutely nothing useful for society to do.

Almost everyone has something to contribute. The problem is that society structured in a way where most forms of productivity are undervalued. A great example of this is art. Nobody in their right mind could imagine a world without art yet there's the stereotype of a starving artist. Burger flipper robots aren't going to make or break the world.

Example of these excellent mechanisms? How much aggregate funding is there for this?
Statistical physicist here. Negative temperatures occur when a system has a finite number of high energy states. On average, when temperature increases, both the energy and the "randomness" or entropy of a configuration increase as well. Of course, if there are only a few high energy states available, then the randomness will not increase, it will decrease. That's negative temperature! Because we define temperature as the rate of change of the energy with respect to the energy, in systems like the one I described, this rate of change becomes negative.
I think in a lot of cases folks still make certain things public instead of using a VPC out of convenience.

For example if a developer needs to access a resource within a VPC then this sky rockets complexity. You can't just connect to something running in a VPC from the outside world. You'd have to install and configure a VPN and it becomes a whole ceremony for both the person setting all of this up and the person connecting.

Using a VPC/VPN and keeping your important things internal (like a database or staging environment, etc.) is a really good idea but unless you have someone who has a really solid understanding of this it's a whole lot easier to make something public, restrict a security group by IP and keep a whitelist of IPs up to date for developer access.
Russia's Invasion Mapped – Ukraine War (Feb 24-26) (YouTube)
I live in the north part of the north hemisphere. It's bright outside the entire 24 hours for almost a month during summer. I use a sleep mask to combat it and the last 5 years I feel like I regained sleep during the summertime. Last year I purchased a Manta Sleep mask and they are next-level good. Total darkness and really easy on the face. I have no affiliation with the brand, just a really happy customer of theirs.
Yes. Zofran on request.

I was only nauseous for maybe 1 minute but I can see it being terrible for folks with motion sickness.
Could this effect be explained otherwise by "disruption of normal sleeping environment"? Presumably all of these people are used to sleeping with dim lights. What would the effect be on subjects who were used to 100 lux light?

My intuitive sense is that light at night has some harmful effect. On the other hand, I live at a latitude where summer nights are very bright, and I and my fellow residents generally get used to it. Perhaps the effect diminishes?

Are there people with sleeping habits such that they would find darkness similarly disruptive?
I’m worried about JetBrains too. From what I can tell, only a small portion of their team (including the founders) are located outside Russia. That’s a lot of people left inside Russia to be pressured, manipulated, and abused into compliance.
I think the word "managed" is the clear differentiator here. There is a huge difference between setting up ElasticSearch on some EC2 instances yourself, and paying ElasticCo for a managed cluster.

I would expect the latter to be sure by default.

This ban on Kaspersky in software is similar to the US ban on Chinese Huawei for 5G.

What I am really waiting for is a ban on cloud services like Github. Since Russia is now basically even more rogue than Iran, I bet something like this here is in the making:

The Lofar Two-Metre Sky Survey
From a European point of view this is really strange and the emphasis on the external aspect of someone seems to be the key. Trevor Noah, like the leading French player or even the former US president all have a white parent but somehow everybody define them as black or Afro-xxx. This is for me a strange perception. Some people from north Africa cannot really be really distinguished from a south European person and nobody would call them Afro something. So it's not the continent but the external aspect of that person that is defining the person and the color is taking precedence on everything. I think this is what most people in France won't agree with.
It’s normally 4 cycles a day. 2 for high school kids and 2 for elementary school kids. That’s why some of the circuits are so long they don’t pick up kids at a large fraction of houses they pass buy. Busses close to the school then do multiple routes because they can fill up so quickly.

It should be obvious how that same basic model could get someone from any location to any location in a county twice a day. It would just be really inconvenient compared to cars.
Professional sports maybe, but grassroots sports for kids (and perhaps even adults) are a fantastic investment.
> I don't use a set of blackout curtains, but I know several friends that say it makes a real difference.

Have blackout blinds on every window upstairs so thats its dark enough during summer mid day sun to sleep. They keep the heat out during the summer (to the point I dont need the air conditioning on albeit on the hottest days and the warmth in during the winter which contributes to energy saving, the only downside is the air gets stagnant in small buildings.

I believe a lot of German homes also have external blinds over their windows for similar reasons plus they offer a layer of security making it harder to break in, but then what do the Germans know?

100lux is quite bright, I have a lux meter and here in the UK 100-200lux is a really cloudy winters day level of brightness, where as a bright summertime day will exceed tens of thousands lux for comparison.

Its because light affects the release of melatonin black out blinds are fitted. Melatonin increases the release of stem cells and stem cells play their part in repairing the body, but like I say earlier, CO2 levels building up cause the body to be stimulated even during sleep so sleep is not as refreshing as it could be in small homes and almost all UK homes are small, but hey the CO2 helps contribute to an increase in GDP and thats all that counts!
How else should they respond? And almost all software today is updateable, and many do so automatically per default. What is your argument here exactly?
