I was hoping this would explain a bit more about why the algorithm does the things it does. Do we have proofs for why certain types of mixing are more secure than others?

Also, it's funny how even world-class cryptographers can think it's perfectly fine to directly output internal state as the digest. Some things are only obvious in retrospect.
Yeah, suffered from this last Friday with firefox.

Quite bad timing and since I surf mostly in private mode I'm not so keen on a restart at inopportune times since my state will be completely wiped.
A cross join is nearly always a bad thing, because the result-set is massively larger than the joined tables themselves. Unless the tables being joined are small, you get performance and memory problems. I've never used a cross join except when playing around.

I've rarely had to use a full outer join; I think that if you encounter that need, it bespeaks a problem with your schema. But sometimes DBAs are extremely resistant to schema changes in production, so you have to work with the schema you have.

FWIW, SQL isn't the core of my trade; I'm not a data analyst, I'm just a normal dev with SQL as one of the things in my toolkit.
The problem with this point is the inherent assumption that suicide is bad.
My grandmother used to have difficulty reading her email, even with double font size, low res, etc. Over the summer, I replaced her monitor with a 32-inch 1080p TV that I had lying around, and it makes a big difference.

I think your idea would definitely help.
The apps are slow. They are optimized for non-technical people using touch screens (though I haven’t tested that). And the rewrites suck because one needs to learn a new UI, and you would still need to find the old UI for a lot of purposes.
If you believe that, you should not only avoid using it yourself, but also proximity to users. Would you want your social circle to be full of crackheads? If you believe it harms the brain, would you hire someone who uses tiktok? I, for one, would welcome hiring processes that privilege non-users. It's a shame the usual HR is filled with heavy social media users who even use it for hiring, but I believe this error will correct itself eventually.
or "hear" and "comprehend" being the same.

Take the phrase "they don't hear that well". Does that mean they cannot actualy hear based on volumes and noise or some sort of hearing problem? Or does that mean they can "hear" just fine but don't comprehend what they are being told? Or that they do comprehend it just fine, but just don't like it being told to them?

Now we're getting into idioms territory and less about definition of words and why have two words with the same, but different, meanings.
I have a 4k 28" monitor which I can't use at its highest resolution with 100% scaling and a 4k 40" TV that is a few inches further away which I can comfortably use at its highest resolution with 100% scaling. I'm a big fan of the setup I have and suspect I would be equally happy with a slightly larger display (maybe up to 55") a bit further away. Maybe the 28" screen would be more usable with computer glasses. With the 40" screen, I can see fine with my regular glasses.

75" seems a bit extreme, as it would require a few more feet of distance between me and the screen to make the screen fit into my field of view. I could see it as beneficial and quite usable in a situation where you need high resolution with many people viewing it.
How big is the monitor? A 27" 1440p monitor is about 130ppi, a 32" is about 90.
I’ve used 4K 39”/40” televisions (originally 3, now 1) for the past 8 years. I find that the panels look great, and they give me a huge working area. They’re also really reasonable - $250 - $350 for a good TV. They last a while.

Smaller 4K/5K panels (with more pixels per inch) are nice, but I never understood the push for density. I’d rather have more workspace with lower density.
This is what makes it difficult to discuss this. It's hard to do without rudely insulting people. How do you find words that are not too condescending. There is a long history of using "the people" to mean non intellectuals including it being enshrined in the US constitution. But that often does not make it clear enough for everyone to understand that we're talking about a vulnerability. Populism gets turned into a dirty word. How often have I stood into a room full of university graduates deriding populism equating it to demagogy. This is a form of punching down.

But when done with a perspective of helping with the "handicap", people are more receptive than you would expect. I've made this argument on twitter once and maybe it was because of the criticism of the "elitist" down punchers but found myself for the first time gaining maga followers, the very people who's intelligence I insulted.

Kid Rock's ode to MAGAism includes lyrics like:"NO I’VE NEVER BEEN THE SMARTEST (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agvibm7Wqy4)

These people know they have a handicap when it comes to academic intellect and are looking for others who will respect the struggle that comes with that.

People don't vote for Trump because they think he is smart, but because he respects the lack of academic smarts, because he is for them a refreshing example of success and respect without smarts in a world where it's increasingly difficult to achieve and people will cancel you if you are unable to reason at that academic level of morality.
Does any other language require to use a special notation, similar to PHP’s “$”, any time a variable is referenced? I can only think of CSS, using “--“.
The multiple download buttons is not a dark pattern to prevent you from downloading your data, it’s just bad UX, it’s a feature you add to check a legal box and it doesn’t get priority for usability. Probably someone just shrugged, this is good enough and moved on. They should definitely give you it all in one zip file but “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by a developer rushing to get something done by making it just barely usable” (the fact I worked at AWS as a development manager has nothing to do with the above and is solely my opinion)

It does work. In the past when I mentioned it, someone provided an apparent counterexample, a search with a term in quotes that wasn't found on the page. When I reported it to the search team, they found that the quoted term was actually in a hidden submenu on the site. So the term was still on the page, but not findable with ctrl-f, except in the source.
Try it out and if you find a counterexample, let us all know.
This isn't forcing people to learn crypto, it's providing resources so that they can. Obviously it's simpler to use crypto libraries.
I very much doubt that there is any human interaction on the Amazon end of this workflow.

What seems more likely is that because this doesn't generate revenue it gets the minimum resources necessary to complete the request within some legally mandated time frame. The request probably sits in queues for most of its life.

If a court order requests these same data, I suspect that it can be produced in under 24 hours

> The US should be very careful when calling for war crimes prosecutions against Russia

The US has not called for international war crimes prosecutions against Russians, which, even within the ICC system, are a backstop against failure of the criminals own country and those where the offense happened and any others which might have direct jurisdiction to have the ability and will to take action.

It hasn't even called for war crimes prosecutions of any kind.

It has described it's conclusion that Russia has committed war crimes, which is not the same as either of the above things, in the context of promoting the urgency of stopping the campaign in which they have done so so as to deny them the opportunity to commit more.

Windows supports fractional display scaling with perfect crisp text and graphics. MacOS doesn’t, but it can do integer scaling at least. (Edit: I’ve been corrected. Apparently macOS does do fractional scaling, but in a way that causes blur). Text size and resolution don’t need to be bound.

Yep, it's really locked. If the car is locked pressing the little reflective thing does nothing. The flap has a lock and a servo to flip it open and closed - I can open and close it from the MCU touchscreen.

Makes sense that they'd ditch this as unnecessary complication.
The difference between a stalker and Amazon is that Amazon does not get any data from you (or at least 99% of what this author could request from Amazon, some ad tracking stuff might be an exception) if you do not willingy give it to them. Don't have an Amazon account and use it do order things or search, talk to Alexa, etc - and they will have no data.

> It sounds like you mean to say that Smith, Ricardo, and Bastiat are more popular in casual online discussions of economics or economic history, because they aren't any more relevant to contemporary academic economics than Marx is.

No, I meant exactly what I said. Ricardian theory of comparative advantage, for example, remains being part of foundation of modern understanding of international trade. Every economics textbook teaches it. Same with Bastiat’s broken window fallacy. If their writings don’t get explicit citations in published papers, it’s for the same reason Pythagoras or Euclid don’t get citations in modern mathematics either: their results are so foundational that everyone knows them.

> If anything, extending the our gaze beyond the realm of the contemporary field of economics would reveal that Marx far outpaces these other names in citation value.

Of course, people keep citing Marx. Not economists though, or if they do, not favorably.
I like the idea of "crowd sourcing". When the SEO-tricked ad pages come up and I either scroll past them or, if I do click on them but come right back to the search results and continue scrolling/clicking ... rank downward those brief or passed-over links.

Seems like with enough actual humans I should never have to see another geeksforgeeks page come up in my search results.
> Their gross profit, meaning money they have left after accounting for all expenses, was $18 billion for 2021.

That’s not at all what gross profit is, nor is their GP for 2021 that high.

In rough terms: Gross profit is revenue minus cost of revenue. Operating income is gross profit minus operating expenses. Pretax profit is OI minus financing and other costs and is much closer to “after all expenses (except taxes)”.

Further, their financial statements show their gross profit for 2021 to be $12.1B with a taxable income of $3.8B. (Both the yahoo link above and WSJ agree: https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/DUK/financials/annual... (For WSJ, take gross revenue and subtract COGS ex-D&A to get to GP))

> That last part is pretty dumb!

It's not just dumb, the whole process is at the edges of the law. Art. 12 GDPR mandates "intelligible and easily accessible form", which navigating through a number of pages, wait times and finally a 74-link download is certainly not fulfilling.

The gold standard, for what it's worth, is a direct link from the privacy policy page in the section that details GDPR subject rights to the page that provides the download - basically, three clicks in total.

> but it seems entirely plausible to me that many of the datasets being requested have "ask an engineer to run through this long manual process" as a dependency.

Which is ridiculous for a company at Amazon's scale and again at the edges of legality - Art. 12 GDPR mandates "without undue delay" and the one month is clearly meant as an upper bound here, not as the regular case.

That is the problem with American companies and also the US government: they all default to hoard data in warehouses and make use of it later, and completely ignoring that all the data they hoard must also be made accessible to the people it's related to.

I think this probably depends at lot on language. I mostly code in Rust, and for a simple example of one of the "most basic refactoring steps", renaming a type/function/variable/etc. and updating all the uses work quite well using rust-analyzer. I'm not doubting that Intellij might have a lot of nice refactoring features that VS Code doesn't, but I'm definitely able to do a lot more than just regex searches.

Gated's website contains a CTA for Sender Accounts which will be the same exact situation for email. Donate $X for the privelege of bypassing the standard rate and continue spamming their users.

It's the same toll booth strategy as the ad blockers that tried to shake down the digital ad market. Trust us to protect your inbox, unless of course a Preferred Gold Partner tries to contact you.

This time it's laundered thru a donation rhetoric. They aren't even a non-profit themselves, and they have investors to pay back.

Anyone who signs up for Gated (it's free!*) will in time find themselves The Product which Gated sells to their real volume customers, spammers. Getting back to my original point, while Gated at scale would increase the price of spam it wouldn't stop spammers. Their business model relies on the existence of spammers so why put them out of business?
krapp has already mentioned the Unix stuff. BASIC had a thing with a $ at the end of a string variable, iirc. Windows' CMD.EXE used %VAR% notation (and later !VAR! notation).
I hope eventually, with systems like landlock making sandboxing a bit more accessible, developers just start sandboxing their software by default. 3rd parties maintaining policies is less than ideal.

I think the problem is the calculation is too complex (as it is too personal) and too local.

Imagine a calculator that said “Please list all drugs you currently take or may take next calendar year”.

That alone is a massive undertaking for most seniors.
type annotations does not guarantee correctness, performance, nor does it make your code bug free. Type annotations however helps when writing code, as the tooling will know that something annotated as type X have these prototype variables, or that the object annotated with interface should (but does not guarantee) to have the annotated interface members. This can also be achieved via type inference, but inference is more complicated then simply annotating (writing down) the type in the code. Before Typescript some people used to have the type in the variable name, like strName, fltCost, arrPeople. Bugs are detected by running the program in a chaotic environment (live/prod) where there are humans involved. Bugs can also be found by carefully and critically studying the code. Some bugs can also be found by inference or type annotation tooling, or usually when trying to run the code for the first time.

There for sure are students who need $225,000 a year for a dignified existence. There were some at Stanford, they'd advertise they needed a femme (meaning person without a penis, Stanford should put the definitions and meanings on a website somewhere. The only other way to figure it out is by inventing one yourself or witnessing punishment for trespassing a definition...I guess you could also tune in to the slander on every channel), at any rate, a femme like companion but not companion a different word, but someone who made sure the student survived the night and had dignity during the night shift. She needed 24 hour care. All that was expensive, I met another person with serious health problems and she was like an insurance lawyer by this point, she knew everything inside and out, Antonia her name was.

Now I get that it's expensive, but helping others sure sometimes you can give someone a trivial piece of advice that changes their life, other times it's an uphill battle, fucking Iwo Jima. It's up to you if you want to or not.

> What's the next breakthrough idea that extracts the good signal from all the noise of a trillion web pages?

To me this is going to be manual ranking, but the biggest issue with manual ranking is not that you have to do it manually, but how do you know if you can trust users who rank pages. The Wikipedia system is a good start but not enough, and the second issue is how do you prevent its business model to kill its quality

This is really cool! Not to detract from how awesome it is that Valve lets fans do this to their games without fear of legal repurcussions, but I've always been impressed by how little Valve games require visual overhauls. Even Half Life is stylized in such a way that it really doesn't need any changes, with it's bright cartoony color palette and angular space-age laboratory designs. I recently played through Black Mesa, and while it really is an accomplishment (completely remaking an entire game in a new engine is no small feat), it only made me more excited to go back to the original and remember how well it still holds up.

Half Life 2 and (to a lesser extent) Portal are in much the same boat. HL2 is a very gritty, filthy game that uses it's detail to expand on the story. By comparison, Portal is more sterile and mysterious with it's white plaster walls surrounding you on all sides, evoking feelings of solitary confinement or an insane asylum. In either case, their art direction utterly carries the visuals of these games, and neither one feels particularly outdated (though Portal could probably use some better lighting). Compared to the other mid-2000s games that came out alongside it, these two titles still feel comparatively fresh.

What else is there to even say? Team Fortress 2 is a modern classic, and probably has the most "timeless" art style of their entire catalog. Dota 2, albeit not my cup of tea, also recognizes the merits of having a strong visual presence. Portal 2 might have the strongest art direction of them all, contrasting the perfectly and meticulously arranged design of dozens of test chambers with the ramshackle, decomposing internals of a forgotten facility. I'm sure there's still some improvements to be made, but even today I think Portal 2 holds up marvelously.

If the developers felt rushed to make such a feature that is the fault of their management but given the history of Amazon which includes publicly facing service status boards that don't update unless senior management approve the outage it is more likely that Amazon doesn't really want people to know what they know about their users.
