Gated users have the ability to add any individual emails or entire domains to their Allow List at any time. (Or - conversely - to set status so that they will NOT hear from individuals or domains!)

There are also some rules that Gated applies as a default, like not sending Challenge Emails to known bots (noreply@)

Note that there are also legal issues. The German army is the parliaments army, and as such the Bundestag must approve any mission that requires deployment outside German territory (NATO missions and EU missions are somewhat privileged). That would hinder foreign deployments of a joint European army.
Meh, long before I was a dev, I was a user... and it's true I didn't care about telemetry, but a HUGE difference is that Google's services were USEFUL. Syncing passwords, extensions, bookmarks etc. were automatic, easy, unintrusive, etc. Staying logged into my Google account meant I could auto login to Gmail, GDrive, GSheets, Geverything else along with a bunch of social logins on other websites.

Firefox Sync eventually arrived, but it was a PITA to set up because I didn't need a Firefox account for anything else. And then they added a bunch of third party services that I still don't know what they do (Pocket), ads on the main screen, ads on startup, full-page release nags for pointless features, constantly changing UI for no good reason at all...

It was like Chrome took Phoenix's philosophy and Firefox tried to become Netscape Communicator again. Zero of the Firefox features added in the last decade helped me as a user, but instead constantly bugged me. I can't remember a single annoying thing that Chrome added in the same timeframe. It still feels leaner, quicker, and less intrusive.

Funny how the sides have switched...
Short answer: because they understand that with the current mess, they could very well be next.

Excluding Poland, Hungary and Bulgaria, I don't think for the rest it has _that_ much to do with Ukrainias being European and Christians.
Either way, I find it very hard to believe that they haven’t coordinated with Apple and Mozilla on this CVE.

>The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination." ~Ibram X. Kendi

If you want to criticize CRT, fair enough, but the actual quote is "The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination." If you can't (or don't even care to) get the quote right, it seems as if you're not arguing from a position of good faith.

Here's another quote to consider, which gives some of the necessary context for the one you posted:

“The opposite of racist isn't 'not racist.' It is 'anti-racist.' What's the difference? One endorses either the idea of a racial hierarchy as a racist, or racial equality as an anti-racist. One either believes problems are rooted in groups of people, as a racist, or locates the roots of problems in power and policies, as an anti-racist. One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an anti-racist. There is no in-between safe space of 'not racist.”

Also, regarding discrimination specifically:

“The defining question is whether the discrimination is creating equity or inequity. If discrimination is creating equity, then it is antiracist. If discrimination is creating inequity, then it is racist.”

It becomes pretty clear if you look into what CRT proponents actually say, beyond a single pithy misquote, that their "underlying goal" isn't racism. Their claim is that we're already living in a discriminatory system in which the only way to achieve equity is discrimination against that existing bias in the system.

Things NOT killed by Microsoft:

Clear text passwords collected and stored in LSASS.EXE long term.

SMBv1

Machines spraying their local user's password hashes all around the network constantly.

LLMNR

Symmetric (password based) authentication.

SPNs with Domain Admin privileges whose password hashes can be queried by any user at any time.

Full mappings of every user, machine, privileged level, authentication metadata, and active sessions available to any user on the network who feels like asking.

Office macros that read/write to the file system and execute shell commands.

Javascript files that can execute malicious shell commands when you try to read them.

DLL hijacking

Very weakly hashed passwords (NTLM) in the domain controller.

I think people get very upset quickly, and I dont want to be upsetting.. so lets not argue in any case, even if we do not agree..

I come from a religious background, and I support plural, open society myself. So same-sex couples are a thing, and people do that.. so they are free to do that.. as I am free to pursue a stricter social definition.

There are people on both sides of this discussion, that feel so strongly about their point of view, that they actively, definitely, without apology and sometimes by unfair means, seek to present, influence and be role models for children in formative stages of learning.

Therefore, on both sides of this topic, I believe that "open" material like books for children, that there needs to be safety and guidelines, in the clear open discussion, about what is in them.. for the parents, family and their social groups to make their own decisions.

Lastly, you are right, I added quotes around "Marriage" because in my tradition, Marriage means a sacred union of one man and one woman. I am committed to support "civil unions" for legal rights of same sex couples, especially high-stakes end-of-life things like medical authority and inheritance, but no one cares about me personally, these are large topics that are decided in a civil process. I support that civil process.

> but realistically you need a ton more spectrum, which is why you have seen a spate of auctions lately.

There are huge amount of spectrums in the mmWave bands... instead of pulling FTTH to huge apartment buildings, just set a few fiber-connected towers, and tell customers to put the APs on windowsils pointing towards the tower.
The problem is that the monitors are only about gaming. In particular, I find the "1440" Y dimension resolution particularly infuriating.

Yeah, I know the reason is that modern games make all the graphic cards left over that aren't being used for crypto die in horrible flaming balls of heat when you actually ask them to ... you know ... actually use the pixels on your monitor. GASP! The Horror!

So, how can we fix this? I know! Let's make sure the monitors don't have enough pixels to cause the graphics cards grief. Brilliant!
I can do office and productivity tasks, but not in a way that interops with the tools that others use. It's interesting because Pages can spit out a .docx that Word doesn't mangle too badly, but LibreOffice still can't.

I still haven't seen an answer to my use of AirPlay, either. Apparently Chrome can do this to a Chromecast, but… If I'm already giving my data to a horrible monopolistic company, I'd rather give it to the one that at least pretends to care about user privacy as a feature (Apple), rather than considering user privacy a bug (Google).

KDE has a lot of little nits, too, and it wore on me. Some of the ones I can think of are:

* When KWin crashed, the title bar font went from 12pt to 18pt. I could not fix this unless I ran some specific dbus command in Konsole and then immediately ran `kwin_x11 --replace` afterwards.

* Kickoff doesn't let you click "Applications" to go back to the beginning. I suggested it twice and even tried to implement it myself but they have layered everything so deep in QML I was lost. Apparently, they have redesigned the launcher again in 5.21, which released after I was gone, and now it looks like a bad copy of Windows 10 instead of being somewhat decent. Fabulous!

* KRunner took about four seconds to respond to input, even on a 16 CPU (Talos II) system.

There are plenty of things I loved about KDE too: Kate is amazing, Konsole is a fantastic terminal emulator, and I still use Tellico to this day – I even contributed the Homebrew formula so others can enjoy it on Mac OS. But the experience of using it as a full DE was just not all there for me.

It seems like hubris. I see it a lot in very senior engineers. Basically, the belief that "I have all the information in my head to answer any tech question".

Alternative to Soft Delete. Again
Hi all,

so it is clear that soft delete hard to implement correctly and
in general it is evil.
Usually the main reason for it is to preserve referenced data.

For example we have invoice and customer. We want to see this
relation even if customer was deleted.

One of the approach is the customer snapshot stored in the
invoice object. I want to discuss this approach.

So imagine we have have such invoice with customer snapshot, and
invoice is editable (not paid). What if I want to update customer's
name? I will update name in snapshot? In original record? Both?

It is interesting to hear your thoughts.

Disconnect the TV from wifi and enable GameMode to bypass most of the post processing. Disable HDR on the OS. On some TV models, there is an additional trick to rename the input port to "PC" and it reduces input lag even more. Use a good web app that guides you to some basic calibration, especially brightness/contrast/gamma. Those 3 things can be changed in your display driver's control panel and TV. So fiddling with both to get a "perfect" image goes a long way. Once you have the configs you like, take some pics or save them in a note somewhere in case you need to restore.

I play Steam Games on a 77" OLED like this and the only reason I dont use it for normal day to day development is I dont have a suitable recliner keyboard/mouse setup. Got the TV for $2,000 from Woot a year ago and it is the VRR model.

Why are monitors with similar capabilities at a third of the size so expensive?
Slack is much better as a corporate chat app, but I’m not sure that’s necessarily good in the broader picture because I’m not sure you want to maximize chat engagement in a corporate setting. There are weird cultural effects to that, and paradoxically having a shittier app for that might get you the benefits of being able to chat with your coworkers and ask them questions without the weird social effects.

Except children can be forced to pay medical and resthome debts in some contexts, especially if the parent doesn’t qualify for MedicAid. There are 30 states with filial responsibility statutes: presumably the invisible hand will grab more cash from children in the future using those statutes.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=filial+responsibility+medical+debt

Not relevant in this case because the kids clearly haven’t got anything worth taking, and Michigan doesn’t have filial responsibility laws.

“In order for filial responsibility to become an issue, a number of issues will have to take place: The elderly parent cannot pay the nursing home bill, The adult child has the ability to pay the nursing home bill, The elderly parent could not qualify for Medicaid, The care facility sues the adult child.”. https://michiganestateplanning.com/do-i-have-to-pay-my-paren...
There’s nothing that makes it physically impossible so it’s likely inevitable - just hard to know when.

The risk of poorly aligned AGI as described is real, makes sense to try to work on the problem before we need it (when it’ll be too late).
I don't think this is a reason at all. People are mostly acting out of emotion, and it's easier to relate to culturally close people, even more so if most of the refugees are children or females.

An interesting note on this is that Twitter are rolling out Speech to Text for their Spaces.
I'm not sure I'd say I miss any of these personally. But looking back with hindsight, I do see it as a shame that some of these products failed.

- I argue Kinect was 5+ years ahead of its time and marketed towards the worst possible market: gamers who want precise control of their content. motion tracking software with a built-in voice recognition sounds like something that could have been Alexa years before Amazon every bothered.

- Silverlight was in many ways a better version of Flash in everything except actual content delivery. But in the mid 2000's with limited hardware and networking, that was one of the most important steps.

- Mixer was a very ambitious attempt to try and create a competitor to video streaming that Twitch had long dominated by the time it launched. But it further seems to cement a harsh reality of modern social media; at a certain critical capacity, the only undoing of one has to be itself.
Just this week I had a Google Eng I know say:

So what are you using now? Is Chrome on your side?

IMHO, the _moment_ we get rid of Firefox, the _moment_ we lost the free web. Building a web browser is just too damn hard, and never again would free software stand a chance. All will be Chrome-based, and Google will decide what "standards" to adhere to while it sits in a committee with itself.

That's interesting. I have multiple Apple and non-Apple C-to-A adaptors, and one even has a five port hub attached to it. I haven't had any issues on Monterey, but my main use case for them is external disks and a Blu-Ray drive, so perhaps I'm just not using it hard enough to trigger it. Does your issue happen with any device, or specific ones?

The reason Clubhouse didn't have staying power is that there its value proposition is hypocritical, and therefore doesn't work: On Clubhouse, it only matters who's talking (for example, Elon). It doesn't matter who's listening. The more important the speaker is, the more it is a one-to-many broadcasting platform, and the less it matters if it's live. That makes it as useful as podcasts, which is already a saturated space.
Because of the various safeguards:

> Only serving the iframe at specific times, presumably when they knew an intended target would be visiting the site.

> In some email campaigns the targets received links with unique IDs. This was potentially used to enforce a one-time-click policy for each link and allow the exploit kit to only be served once.

> The exploit kit would AES encrypt each stage, including the clients’ responses with a session-specific key.

> Additional stages were not served if the previous stage failed.

it was hard to collect the exploits. They only managed to collect the Chrome one.

Compare this to Pegasus, malware that attacks both iOS and Android. So far researchers have only been able to collect iOS versions.

I think it's a little funny that you're complaining that a Google security group (TAG in this case) is publicly reporting vulnerabilities in a Google product, but not others. With Project Zero (a different Google security group), people usually complain in the opposite way, and say that it's bad for Google to publicly report a lot of vulnerabilities in competitor products, because it makes competitors look bad and is just done for publicity reasons.

Disclosure, I work at Google, but not on anything related to this.
That was more likely marketing having nothing better to do, just like what happens when designers are left idle. They need to justify their existence somehow.

The average non-technical person I’ve talked to has posited that Amazon is actively, persistently listening via their Alexa-enabled devices and using that audio to drive recommendations.

This doesn’t seem to deter any of the people who’ve mentioned it from purchasing and plugging in Alexa-enabled devices, or from shopping on Amazon.

I don’t think you’re giving non-technical people enough credit. They may not know the exact mechanisms, but they’re generally aware that companies are monitoring their activity and using it to market to them; it’s just not a big deal to them.
