It sounds like EDRs shouldn't really be a thing. If police needs a court-issued warrant to enter my home, why can't they enforce the same for data access?

If there's one thing I learned from practice in programming is the more "exceptions" you make, the more room there is for bugs and security flaws. The same applies for everything. Keep rules simple. The more "if this, then that" you add, the more loopholes you may find.
I wish I could do this to tell DDG that I don't want to see any amazon.com products in my listing. I fell out with Amazon years ago and have been shopping independently since, but they have a stronghold over search engines with their out-of-stock listings.
A fake subpoena is not a home invasion. It's not like seconds matter.
You can ask and it is polite to adhere to the wish, but you can not demand it.

Ultimately you have no right to intrude on my brain, sorry.

"Would you be ‘abused’ if I mentioned my same-sex spouse and it violated your assumed reality?"

Probably not because I could see that your spouse has the same sex as you, so it wouldn't violate my perception? I don't get the point of your example.

The point of the "publicly state you believe in something that is obviously not true" is a symbolic subjugation of the person made to do it. It is "swearing in" to the ideology. Like Gallileo announcing publicly that the sun revolves around the earth.
this is the the same with every piece of news

Yes. People worked hard for electronic dollars to be transferred to their electronic wallets.

They tried to use some of that digital money (in another electronic format) in a digital game, but the game got hacked and now those dollars are someone’s else dollars.

The hacker may have some difficulty transforming digital money into paper bills, because KYC, but he can launder it like old school people used to and have some.
Disputes can still be resolved like that in crypto, it's just up to the legal system to track down the key holders to revert the transaction. Essentially - solve it at the legal layer, don't complicate the protocol.
I feel sorry for you, too. But have fun memorizing those hundreds of instruction manuals.
Lots of merge conflicts guaranteed :-) Jokes aside, this is exactly what this should be: a living document and a starting point for discussions.
Medical care is not distributed evenly in the U.S.

I think my issue was I was already disabled and on Medicare diagnosed with Bipolar disorder which is caused by my immune disregulation, probably Lupus.

https://apm.amegroups.com/article/view/60122/html

Anyway, it is difficult for the doctors to get medicare to cover these tests. I also insisted she perform a serum amino acid test which revealed several high amino acids including all of the branched chain amino acids. She had to make up reasons to get them to cover the tests even though I have all these issues, including poor kidney function.

There is defiantly a stigma with how they treat people with mood disorders. Any physical complaint was always treated as it it were something I was imagining. I was only luckyy that my mother and brother has Ankylosing Spondylitis because even though I still had to fight to get an MRI for my lower back pain and they found I was in the early stages of the disease as well.

She said now that she had the nutritional results she did not know what to do with them and she could not even send me to a specialist.
I think people are right that the motivation is profit, but I'm not convinced it's to manipulate you in any way. I don't think driving you towards SEO'd blog spam is really all that profitable to google.

My guess is that it's because it's an abusable feature, and that means hiring human moderators for it.
What is the crypto killer? I still don't understand what the value proposition of crypto is (well at least one that can be said with a straight face or without magical thinking)
Lapsus$ Hack Make Okta’s Slow Response Look More Bizarre
Why try to make as much money as you can in Senegal when the rest of Africa is right there?

Because the rest of Africa is more likely to settle on mpesa. Not trying to be snarky, genuinely looking for a reason for a Kenyan or Ghanaian to switch to Wave for example? Off the top of my head, I can't think of one? This is particularly true for anyone in the EAC.

In short, maybe your investors will begin to see they have little chance of winning over all of Africa. Fundamentally, you're really no different than mpesa in terms of structure. (I can't determine much of a difference in terms of fundamental functionality either?)

I'd genuinely like to hear how you guys view things like mpesa? Along with a good answer to the neo colonial criticism? If you have good stories for those two issues, I think you have a chance. (Where 'good' means 'resonates with young Africans who are much more likely to be Pan Africanist these days'.)
There are lots of us that recognize the new capability crypto provides (improved self-custody over assets, currency scarcity not controlled by governments) while also not claiming a new world order.

Like most things it's not all or nothing and there are pros and cons.
I have used solution A, and once it heats up, you still lose fine control of heat (because my induction burner is cheap and only has 10 preset temps that are spaced too far apart).

I was excited by the prospects of induction cooking, and if I'm boiling water, or even making a slow-cook stew, it works great. But for sauces and meat (where fine temperature control is critical), I'll stick to gas or (if I have to) electric.
How do you verify the PGP key for a random LEO? The web of trust is a total failure for general use verification, it only solves the special ultra-paranoid use case.

Key distribution has always been the weak point of PGP.
It's all "decentralized" except where it counts.
when it comes to banking, random checking accounts are hacked into very rarely. to the point that in USA the FDIC is protecting your account up to $250,000. I don't recall last time seeing news on someone's bank account being hacked and drained, if anything its mostly family fraud.

also there are all sorts of checks when you try to wire or withdraw more than $10,000, not to mention wire hundreds of millions. Such transaction will manually cross a desk of at least 2 different bank managers.
I'm so far outside the cryptocurrency scene that this reads like science fiction to me.
There are a few packages available, e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/difftastic and https://pkgsrc.se/wip/difftastic.

I've also had requests from Alpine Linux packagers to allow dynamic linking to parsers. This is something I want to support in future, once I'm happy with the basic diffing logic.
Okay sure, you have to have some sort of baseline to go by. Some sort of assumption of truth as it were.

But, no, you cannot safely recalculate that result, because by and large people are the representation of chaos. undefined behavior is the norm, not defined behavior. Defined behavior is only present in any of our societies because of 'social norms', which is the only reason I relent and say that some assumptions might be possible. But I will not agree that you can 'safely' recalculate that result just using whatever assumptions some person arbitrarily has deemed 'good enough to trust'.

That kind of thinking is why most polls are actually wrong, but taken as good enough. (Yes, I'm one of those people who nit picks the randomness of their selection biases.)

P.S.

All it takes to swing an election in favor of the underdog is a single new revelation. All it takes is for people to suddenly question their previous choices. A & B might be their norm; but people can be swayed to choose C or D if the situation is right.

This is why we can't really trust assumptions without some sort of evidence to back them. At which point they stop being assumptions...
Who makes that decision?
Echoes of Mt Gox: when something meant to be a much smaller operation (such as a place to trade Magic:The Gathering cards) suddenly finds itself playing a much bigger game.

Supposing the hacker gets away with stealing such large quantities of stolen ETH without getting caught and their ETH is now sitting in a brand new wallet that everyone knows about. Is the next move to convert it into a privacy-preserving coin like Monero, then back to "clean" ETH?

How Common Heap Profilers Are Used and Implemented
I did not know this.

It appears there are workarounds, but I'm not sure how that's better than doing things Ye Olde Waye.
The entire point of school was for me to experiment and learn and make mistakes. But when am I supposed to do that when literally everything and anything is graded?

Human brains don't go at "oh but look at the weight of this one lab" they go "fuck I got a C, I'm pathetic and shouldn't be here".

At most the grading should be "attempted something" vs "did literally nothing". And even that is useless imo.

But yeah I didn't feel like I'm studying to learn and get better in school. I felt like I have a limited amount of time and I'm gonna have to just do what I can do increase my grades.

I hate higher education. This is just one of the reasons.
Yes but ironically
It can be good and bad. Having a high amount of empathy but being able to control your reaction can be very helpful. You can adapt to how others are reacting much better than folks with low empathy.

The chance of $650 million being drained from a game studio’s bank account is significantly less than it being drained from their ETH wallets, at least as of now.
bootstrap is a common design system base for companies that can't afford nor needs a full design team. it's a one-size-fits-none approach, but it's close enough that devs can wrangle it into shape well enough.

larger entities with multiple, decoupled teams often move toward developing their own living design systems as bootstrap no longer fits the many idiosyncracies of the organization.

i'm really looking forward to design systems that no longer rely on set breakpoints/grids and move to fully flexible, responsive layouts and components (come on, container queries!).
Exciting to see so much server-side focus in all recent development. IMO React has massive value outside of the usual static site or SPA making API calls use cases. Eagerly waiting for Server Components to get ready.
Do transitions help with that? As I understood it, the batching changes would solve that problem and not necessarily the transitions.
This is neat, but it puts a certain spin on your personality that might give others pause, even if they would be totally okay with working with someone who just behaved as outlined in the doc. There's a whiff of being overly prescriptive, and prima-donna-ish. Of maybe being Aspergers / on the Autistic spectrum, which could be +ve or -ve, depending on who's hiring.

Overall, I think I would like to work with someone who is conscientious enough and introspective enough to take the effort to make a doc like this. On the other hand, I did have to suppress a bit of an eye-roll and I would wonder whether contextually they'd be annoying to work with or oblivious to subtler contexts and human interactions. But I've written plenty of communications that could cause the same questions in someone else, so...
‘Confusion’ as a theme around Web3 is brought up to elicit a mental state that softens people up to manipulation. It is a famous technique in hypnosis, I don’t think most people writing this dreck are Milton Erickson fans but they copy each other.

Instead of being confused we need to fall back on a few themes to protect the vulnerable. Like ‘move on folks, nothing to see here’
They could use it to pump the price on Uniswap of a low cap ERC20 crypto that they own a lot of. That's the safest way to launder that money imo.
Even when they don't expose any security holes, they bog the computer down so much that I'd almost rather have a virus - at least a command-and-control virus might take steps to make me unaware of its presence.
No - they had Bitcoin, completely different beast. (due to lack of smart contracts, Bitcoin is a lot simpler/transparent/harder to hide stuff there).
Amazing news…congrats to the React team!

Grades are some of the dumbest things in modern education. Besides the reasons listed in TFA, they suffer from several other problems:

- They are generally highly subjective and really measure how well the student manages to say what the teacher wants to hear.

- The above leads to a further problem: they discourage critical thinking, by rewarding students that don't even attempt to step out of line.

- On the subject of stepping out of line, how does one learn, again? Oh, right, by trying difficult things and failing at them. Grades discourage this.

- Grades further emphasise a strict hierarchy of authority that is an outdated way to organise thinking. (Some schools are improving this by allowing students to grade teachers, but I'm not sure adding more bureaucracy is worth it.)

- External motivation (bonuses, grades, gold stars, ranking) etc. generally leads to short bursts of effort but are surprisingly bad motivators for continual effort.

- External motivators like grades often lead to competitive behaviour as well, rather than collaborative. We need less competition and more collaboration in society and particularly in the workplace. (Though this is bordering on another criticism of how education is set up: why in the hell would it be considered cheating to collaborate?!)

- All of the above was great when we needed to "educate" non-thinking factory workers for whom showing up and obeying is the number one priority. We know better by now, and our schools ought to reflect that.

On the other hand the relative difficulty of interfacing with native code may be one factor that has, for example, allowed python and go to become much more popular than java in certain areas over the last 10 years despite java arguably being a better language.

Literally no one cares if I'm improving or not.

Gym teachers pushed me away from exercising for years and it's taken therapy and unlearning to get rid of my fear with working out.

YOU DON'T NEED TO MEASURE HOW GOOD I RUN.

This toxic view point that everything should be a competition and grading needs to die the fuck out. Gym is supposed to be a fun place for students to move their bodies and interact with their peers in a different capacity.

People who want to go do this more professionally should have the opportunity and the right gym teachers to encourage them there. But grading me because I didn't run a certain distance in a certain time is absurd and damaging and emotionally humiliating. Shit that I wouldn't want to subject an adult to, let alone a kid.
I don't think this is a problem of fake narratives versus reasonable people. It's that we all use narratives to understand the world, and those narratives often conflict. And if our goal is peace, it's more important to understand these differences than it is to adjudicated between them.

This is particularly true if some of these perspectives are actually pretty worrying. Because if we just write folks off as crazy or brainwashed, we don't really understand them. It's perfectly fine to still think other people are wrong, though.
> > For example, students who come into a course with little prior knowledge earn lower grades at the start, which means they get a lower final average, even if they ultimately master the material.

>For others who came in knowing it, they didn't have to 'really study'. And this still holds true for every successive test.

Ya I see your point. The first test was the easiest and the most likely to get an A assuming I didn't know it. Of course if you study for the first test and get an A because it's the easiest and someone who already knows the material doesn't study and gets an A, then one isn't lower than the other.

In other words, this gap only seems to apply if both groups (familiar and unfamiliar) don't study much or at all on the first test.
Compliance as a Driver for Data-Driven Innovation?
> Brutalist architecture is characterized by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials

This definitely doesn't describe the semantics of most Lisps, which operate at the higher levels of abstraction and conceal many implementation and hardware details from you by default.

It also doesn't describe the syntax of most Lisps, including all of the major ones. Common Lisp, in particular, has extensive syntactic sugar, as shown in kazinator's post.

> structural elements over decorative design

I mean, Lisps don't usually go out of their way to look "pretty", but neither do they actively attempt to look ugly. Most Lisps' syntax has had design effort put into it - the authors strive for consistency and ergonomics.

Taste is subjective, and I personally strongly prefer the syntax of Common Lisp to C or Python - both in terms of aesthetic appearance, and in terms of ergonomics.

Furthermore, very few programming languages (excluding most Lisps and all major languages) are intentionally designed to be "decorative". Whitespace, for instance, is added into languages for readability and parsing determinism, not beauty or decorative appeal.

I don't think that this metaphor is accurate at all. There are many criticisms that you can make of both the Lisp family and specifically of Common Lisp, but I don't think that "brutalist" is a valid one.

At least with a checking account you may be able to have the transfer reversed.

The idea of buying game credits and trading them in game makes sense, but you would want the game publisher to have root on the ledger so that if there was a hack they could reverse it.
Question for the legal-minded folk here. Is this "theft" illegal in the criminal sense?

It's exploiting an unintended hole in software, but it's technically following the smart contract faithfully, albeit against the better intentions of its author(s).

Has a smart contract case like this been litigated before?

It brings to mind comparable things that have happened in the financial services world, where one party insists on following a poorly-composed contract to the letter, to the detriment of their counter-party. Their actions were deemed unethical, but not criminally illegal.
Something tells me that if indeed cryptocurrency sticks around it’s going to sprout rules and regulations that are a mix of banking and securities regulations, and that will suck most of the “fun” out of it.

We pause the stock market on a 5% drop and stoop it on 10%. Moving that much crypto in a day is probably never on purpose.

Though in a distributed consensus system I don’t know how you’d enforce such a thing.
I read a number of articles and they're alright but I think you're boiling down people's opinions on these things a bit too much. "Those who oppose..." "Those who support..." are just made-up by your staff. You don't really know that's what people who oppose/support something actually believe. For all you know the reason why someone supports a given bill is because a source they trust says they should support it. The assumption that people have reasoned themselves into supporting/opposing any given thing is a great big one.

You may be able to fix this just by changing your wording a bit. I don't know though.

As an example, I spoke with someone recently here in Florida that supported the "don't say Gay" bill for no other reason than, "it pisses off liberals." There's far more tribal support/opposition to things that have nothing to do with logic or reason. My neighbor is a prime example.

Related to that bill in particular, I feel you got it wrong with, "Those who support (the "don't say gay bill"):

> "Believe progressive ideas are dominating public education. Instead, parents should be the ones in charge of their children’s education — especially when it comes to determining what topics their children are ready for."

This is just my opinion here but I really feel this completely misses the boat in regards to the opposition's argument. They don't feel that "parents should be in charge of their children's education" because that would mean that some gay couple with an adopted child could make those sorts of decisions. They don't want that at all!

Also, who's to say that teaching (or even discussing with) K-3 kids basic facts about sexuality is bad for them? Those that support the bill do! That is their argument: That their beliefs about sexual education are the only ones that are acceptable. Not that they think, "parents should be in charge..."

"Believe progressive ideas are dominating public education. Believe that teaching children about sexuality or gender identity is morally wrong and such topics should be prohibited from classrooms."
If a student is a fast learner and can understand the material more quickly than their classmates for the first test it is reasonable to assume that the same would be true for the final test as well.

In practice I've found that many of the students who are at the top of the bell curve after the first test are the ones who have the most prior familiarity with the subject matter. Whereas the fast learners are typically the ones who are at the top of the curve at the end of the course.

In this context, equally-weighting early grades has a higher probability of penalizing the fast learners than it does of rewarding them.
The horrible reality is that even if the web had effective and popular micropayments infrastructure it would have micropayments and adverts on top.
