Probably shouldn't call it shooting HDR (even though they do it) - you're doing the exact opposite, you're converting HDR into SDR and so it looks overly tone mapped as as a result.

A proper HDR photo should blind you when viewed on an HDR display, which are kinda expensive when they're desktop sized.
A major difference is that in China it's one-sided. Here we also have other countries cutting Russia off.

Just a heads up: there are a few NSFW or borderline NSFW photos in here. It might not be a bad idea to tag that.

Just out of curiosity, are these flat out of the camera or after processing?
The article and book are about the late Republic, before even Julius Caesar rises to power, let alone Augustus or the subsequent emperors. And I think the quote ("there were no consequences") refers to granting Italians Roman citizenship, not the decisions by later emperors to grant external tribes citizenship.

Surely there was a balance between the two extremes that Rome failed to achieve?
Okta response:

“Authentication services company Okta Inc said on Tuesday it is investigating a report of a digital breach after hackers posted screenshots of what they claimed were its internal company environment.”

I commented years ago regarding the single-sided nature of hackernews, in which you stepped in to present your existence on this site as a thwart to my argument. To which, you are as transparent now as you've ever been.
That looks like such a finished user experience.

Just noticed the Gogoro swap logo in the video. Looks very similar to the Arduino logo. Only difference being the +/- positions are swapped.
There have been some headlines about what you reference but I'm skeptical that work has amounted to anything lasting.
Wonder how long it will take Okta to say something.

I bet a lot of IntoSec departments are stressing right now because of this tweet.
Wdym? There’s a high overlap in contracts which require top secret clearances for kps involved, and Fedramp certified companies…
If swapping the battery takes about as long as sitting at a red light, that doesn't seem like a major problem.
You'd be surprised. Motorcyclists make up a substantial fraction of all organ donors in the USA. Fatal crashes for motorcyclists are usually the result of traumatic brain injury while leaving the rest of the body intact -- the ideal scenario for organ donation. Fatal crashes for car drivers and passengers usually invokes significant damage to the whole body.

Not OP, but at a previous company we were given access to a new AWS environment with nothing in it and were timed on how quickly we could get all of our services operational. Fleet teams went first, then networking, then T1 services (identity, platform, etc) and so on

I've seen both (though a while ago), and I think there's some elements of Pi's visual style that resemble Tetsuo.

But I'd note that whenever someone points out that X copied Y, we can always go deeper and find out that they both really copied Z, who copied A, ...

There's no such thing as original art.

Well, no, human eyes are way worse in low light compared to modern DSLR sensors.

With a monochrome sensor you can get already exceed 50% quantum efficiency, requiring only a few hundred photons per pixel to get decent quality, and around 10000 in the bright spots to reasonably match what a TV can reproduce (dynamic range and perceived noise).

But with a color sensor you can get recognizable/useful colors down to about 100 photons per pixel. Yes, it will be noisy, but at that light level (assuming a remotely-fast lens) your eyes will give you a hard time when you even try to read normal text. Should be enough to walk without tripping, though.
"Linux on a laptop gets similar battery life to Windows in my experience, and that's without using kernel patches and crazy settings, etc."

Sadly I cannot confirm this for my 6+ different laptops I owned. And I tried all the crazy settings, grub, tlp, .. and even compiling the kernel myself.

It is hard to beat loads of dedicated engineers, who are paid regular and well and have access to all the proprietary device information and even manufacturing.

edit: maybe there was one time, when a linux stock install performed maybe equally than a stock windows install. But that was only because of the windows bloat, which linux does not ship. But I can easily remove most of the bloat, but I cannot just write a better gpu driver. But if windows continues its bloat path, it will be soon inferior despite way better drivers.
>but rather an evidence based approach that uses the Bible to interpret itself as it was designed to do.

Can you elaborate on this? I'd be interested to hear more about your approach.
> when it's closer to the truth to say that the real problems start when the complaining ends

Oh, no, when the complaining ends, the problems didn't just start, they reached the magnitude where they are unsolvable long enough ago that no one even harbors any glimmer of hope of fixing or even meaningfully mitigating them.
That’s fair, I guess I’m relatively skeptical as well. I’m just surprised it’s still worth the risk for these groups.
Yes I've seen that, but I don't see how people are making the leap to assume that this Azure leak came through Okta.
I agree with overengineering part where people try to blockchain-ize everything for the sake of doing it (and raising money).

On the other hand, I still believe my example about freedom is still a perfect use case of it and I don't know other ways of doing it.
Yeah and if you need to tow a trailer they don't work either, but those are not very good arguments why we don't try to accommodate them in the situations where they do work very well, i.e. city driving in regions where it doesn't snow very much. The same applies to bicycles and ebikes.
Its just business. Companies pass losses onto other customers. Who do you think pays the medical bills for all those can't pay? Who pays for the public transportation, certainly not the riders. I would love to only pay for stuff I benefit from but I'm not naive. World doesn't work that way.
Godspeed all the corporate IT and security departments who are about to have a sleepless night. Surprisingly haven't heard a peep from Okta over an hour later. Wonder who is sweating more, their engineers or lawyers..
Actually the funny thing is that Braid's CPU usage was always kind of high for what it was doing. Not sure about The Witness.

It's worth noting we don't know what the true motive of any group that claims to be solely about ransomware and extortion actually is.
These of attacks do not works against 5G, from the Countermeasures (Section 8), "In 5G, IMSI catching is no longer possible since IMSI is encrypted using the network’s public key. Thus, the attacker cannot decode the IMSI."
I always thought that iPhones weren’t more efficient — they just dropped a major feature: running background apps.

I remember being able to run Ubuntu in the background on an unrooted Android phone while browsing the Internet. You can’t do that with iPhone.

That said, I rather have battery predictability over features, but I always thought that if Android dropped background apps, they would have the same battery usage as an iPhone.

The Gini coefficient gives you a measure of income inequality, and the US "wins", handily.

Systemic racism & xenophobia is a bit harder to measure. There's the IPC index, but I can't find a reference comparing the three countries. Immigration rates point to all three being rather bad, with China being the worst. (In that they are the one of the three to have a negative immigration rate)

It's worth keeping in mind that "xenophobia" doesn't make sense, per se. There is, at least in the US, a clear hierarchy of immigration nations, and some are very welcome, while others are decidedly not. I'd assume the same is true in Russia and China. (I vaguely know it to be the case in Russia. I have no idea about China)

I don't know that much about the Roman Republic and Empire, but I think your commentary misses a few facts:

The Roman Republic, as a political entity, was able to muster enormous resources relative to its size, and in the midst of calamitious circumstances too. The best example is the Republic raising legion after legion with which to challenge Carthage, and maintaining the loyalty of all of the cities allied to it, after Hannibal's army had defeated it in a string of battles, and finally, killed a significant fraction of its male population at the battle of Cannae.

I assume it was the construction of the Roman government, with its elected leaders, and the political culture of the Roman polity, that viewed the people as the source of all power (as exemplified by SPQR), that inspired this cohesion and loyalty, and it was these qualities that were the primary and ultimate source of its power.

Roman generals in later centuries frequently seized power to become emperors, and this in turn undermined the basis of Roman power, which was a large subsection of the population and fraction of power centers being integrated into the political establishment through elected positions, and consequently having a stake in the success of the state. So the suspicion the elected leaders had towards generals may have been well-founded, and been the reason the elected government maintained power for as long as it did.
Sure. We just moved our build configuration documentation out of our on-site Confluence to plaintext markdown so we can have them in the event of a full network breach. Tomorrow's exercise is to discuss how to leverage those docs for an exhaustive rebuild of the company under the assumption that a full data breach has occurred and we can't trust the existing servers/ backup system.

Like I mentioned, it's sort of an "Armageddon", or worst case scenario. It's meant to help us identify issues with our docs, assist with order of operations, and it exposes any new hires to the full scope of all the moving pieces.

We already perform DR exercises, including testing our online backup restores, between production and DR sites, but this tabletop takes it further.

Hope that answers your question.
That has been basic rule of thumb when it comes to motorcycles for ages - the bigger the wheels the safer it is. The only downside is extra weight and turning radius (smaller wheels can turn more) - which is irrelevant for motorcycles the article argues for.

When it comes to wheels - size matters!
Each one of those dozens was expected to work. Instead, each one turned out to be ... educational. All the best people don't know how to make an MCF machine. It is an honor to be placed among them.

I will welcome any skepticism you can muster.
I can't think of how to make a more constructive response, but I too remember pre-2006 (that really seems funny to say), and I'm just laughing at your response. The laughing isn't to ridicule it, I just think its truly funny how much I disagree. I guess back then it was talk radio that was blamed for stoking the animosity.
Likely because they felt the law is “not important”.

If Ukraine ever makes the mistake of concentrating most of its forces in one place, tactical nukes might be useful.

Otherwise they just make a huge mess of contested ground. That tends to make things worse for the invader than for the defender.

(This assumes that Putin doesn't want an empty, desolate, ruined Ukraine as Russia's buffer against NATO, being prepared to give up Sevastopol for it. At this point Ukraine has a lot of industrial capacity and a lot of natural resources Russia could still exploit.)
Ah yes, the "Oh fuck, just say we're looking into it" initial response.
Have you tried? I had to cancel a Comcast account once by e-mail and they kept referring me to call their retention department so I told them I was deaf and wasn't able to call. It worked.

You can also threaten to get lawyers involved, that often helps deal with shitty customer service and they just give you what you want.

Honestly this is the kind of stuff Google Assistant should be automating with piles of conversational data, not some stupid haircut appointment. They have the data to know when is the optimal time to mention some hypothetical lawyers and can leverage that data to engineer the conversation on behalf of and in favor of the user.

What's hilarious is that if you actually look at the code he's written for it, it's a horrible ball of spaghetti. The whole thing is a scam. Just because HE says "this is bad code" doesn't mean it's bad, and just because he wrote it, it doesn't mean it's good. Most people would find the clusterfuck he wrote unmaintainable, and the funny thing is that it doesn't even really DO ANYTHING YET.

In what world should the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) be spending its resources on forced diversity investigations? Shouldn’t that sort of thing be farmed out to the NAACP or some non-profit built for that? Seems like the forced diversity crowd is co-opting accreditation institutions to give their recommendations bigger teeth.
A shot for shot for remake yes, but much longer. Scorsese clearly has no idea how to do better editing. And I wouldn't call The Departed art, rather a showcase how much worse Hollywood cinema is, compared to original art.

Yes, it could be. What are some good tools to debug every step in the connection? Traceroute doesn't seem super useful in this case.

Unless it's like half a percent of the base rate, in which case you're wasting effort and failing to enjoy situations for no good reason.
I wholeheartedly disagree that those checks and balances actually did underpin the republic in any way. The senate always attempted the keep them in place, but always abandoned them in a crisis. The first Punic war was won by a dictator of Rome. The only thing that changed over time was the scale of the crises that Rome got itself into.

Those checks and balances were simply not needed during peaceful times, and consistently failed any time they were tested during conflict. It’s like how people say Athens never had the position of “dictator”, yet for every significant crisis Athens got into, it found itself ruled by a dictator.
Making streets narrower, raising crosswalks and building separate bike lanes is a much larger up front expense than installing speed cameras.

In security engineering there's this subculture of individuals that just implicitly trust every vendor that offers a solution because that means they don't have to do their own research on the issue. And if anything goes wrong, just blame the vendor!

I have talked to security engineers that have had the company procure millions of dollars worth of security tools, and yet they don't even know the basics of security.

For God's sake, I had to explain what end-to-end-encryption was to a team of "senior" security engineers the other day. They genuinely had no concept of it. As a security SWE I am so done with these sort of people. Fuck them! Why are they even in security!? Real private data is at risk because of their incompetency!
luckily that's a foregone conclusion

GNUnet Messenger API: March
From the requirements: "... if an event is of sufficient importance, even relatively minor participants may require their own articles." Another criterion for his notability is that his killing has received significant international press coverage.

What the English Wikipedia article currently does not mention is that for many years he was vice-president of the Ukrainian section of the International Committee Buchenwald-Dora.[1]

As long as there is no other, more suitable article into which his can be integrated, I think he is notable enough for his own.

When I worked at Apple, every day the topic of "What new knobs can we give to the battery life optimization team?" would come up
Maybe the charger charges differently and with a larger safety margin at 100%[1] when it detects a non-EOM battery?

[1] 100% doesn't mean that the battery is fully charged, it means that the detected level is what the charger is prepared to go to. To conserve battery life it is not uncommon to have a 100% indicator when the battery is only 90% charged, and a 10% indicator when the battery is only 20% charged.
Yes but equally powerful actors (relatively speaking) are interested in such resources and attacks, and can ensure the same high level of comfort for the attackers, so it's probably a wash.

When they always have a safe haven to run to and lay low in a comfortable way without significant losses (that aren't just cost of business), what good is such a slap?

In my mind I see it like the same as throwing a beer bottle at a robbers car as they drive away. Even if you hit it, at best it's some scratches or maybe a busted tail light, but they're still gone with your goods.

This is harder than it sounds with a "real" camera lens, perfectly focusing on one point isn't necessarily the right thing to do for other points even if they're the same distance away. Most people who upgrade to a dedicated camera aren't going to look this stuff up; most reviews don't even cover it.

Chalk it up, then. I've never had a problem explaining the nuances of hooks, and there isn't actually that many permutations needed to wrangle them in indeed - but our engineers are usually quite quick to pick these things up and understand the interface without having to worry about the implementation anyway.

Many of them the extent of their knowledge is: push a button and run a scan and tell an App or Infra Team: here are your vulnerabilities now fix them.

You’re right. I don’t know if this varies by state, but for sure I’ve had to sign contacts stating I didn’t have any other insurance in order to start various plans. So I don’t think this is universally ok but clearly there are situations that allow it, seemingly most common in conjunction with Medicare.
