>One red flag I always look for is a stream of comments mentioning only "good location" and nothing else.

You say that, and I believe you mean it, but that could actually be a good sign. Example: I'm looking for a place to stay that is close to the beach. I need the location to be good - if the interior of the BnB is bad, that isn't a big deal.

Additionally, my definition of "close to the beach" is unusual. There are plenty of places "10 minutes away", but we need to read the reviews and look at maps for public access. I have a lot of small children, and my wife and I are mapping out how far a walk it would take to "get sandy"
Isn’t that just ZTA but inside the VPN or do you mean still using the appliance to gate access?
Paranoid implies some aspect of unjustified fear. In this case the fear is quite justified.
It's the first time for me watching it from the start. Fascinating.

thats a real shame...
what? They definitely are not cheaper, they are just subsidized.
There's also something to be said about extreme design simplicity and resilience to change. Bitcoin is already really good at this, but when the system design is so simple that any change looks invasive, it ossifies even sooner and makes changes even less likely. Removing opportunities for discussion (e.g. scripting support and opcode discussions) also removes opportunity for conflicts regarding a protocol feature. Simpler design may come at the cost of slightly less expressivity, but at the benefit of being naturally more resilient to change.
IMO a core feature of the terminal is that it has a chat program that costs 20K per year to get on. That’s a pretty great filter for figuring out if someone is worth talking to about a 10MM dollar trade.
> The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been urging people to get coronavirus shots before or during pregnancy, seeking to dispel fear — widespread in some communities, without scientific basis — that those vaccinations could be harmful.

Seems a bit non-sequitur? "We're pushing this on pregnant women to prove how safe it is?" I mean, they obviously can't recommend it on the basis of preventing infection, but this phrasing makes it sound as if the "PR benefits" are more important than any protection afforded this particular class of vaccine recipients, doesn't it?
As someone with chronic back pain stemming from a clear event (car accident), I still have the feeling that a substantial amount of my pain is reflecting a change in my brain. It almost feels like my brain’s processing of pain was recalibrated, so that I now notice other forms of pain which might’ve flown under the radar previously. And that baseline of pain, in my back and elsewhere, certainly tracks with my overall level of depression/anxiety.
There's a small amount of harm because Postgres doesn't currently support request multiplexing and so its wire protocol doesn't have any facility for it. This pushes other databases to inherit one of Postgres's few true weak points.
Back in the day I used corelan tutorials to learn. I developed quite a few 0days. The vast majority of vendors didn't ever respond. Those who did respond? They never responded asking for more info or saying thanks. The 2 to ever respond just threatened to sue.

I am opposed to responsible disclosure. Sorry, can't risk being sued.

Now they don't get disclosed(growing collection of 0days that never seem to ever get fixed) or anonymous full disclosure on github.

Over the years there have been so many well meaning projects like this one. They all collapsed, then another hacker comes along and starts a new one because they see no equivalent.

I mean at this point I don't really care and I don't really mind.

Before I enter a business I look to see if they have a mask required sign on. I don't mind putting one on in that case.

If I walk in and I'm the only one not wearing one, I'll typically put one on.

I'm just not really interested in debating whether or not its needed. Surely it does slow transmission, but at this point it's more a courtesy to the business owner.
Here is a notebook version of what I was thinking... https://observablehq.com/
It's the American dream!
A well-written design system is a godsend for end-user consistency, especially for people who use assistive technologies and are easily forgotten about by inexperienced teams. It also means that teams can focus in on the problem they’re actually trying to solve, and stop obsessing over the common components.

I was only around for the first six months or so of this project, but I’ve taken so much of what I’ve learnt into my current design system, and I continue to reference GDS’s continuing work as the gold standard for researched user interface patterns.
The Bloomberg API’s I’ve worked with were… really not great. At one point our Bloomberg rep started talking up their new “REST API” and how excellent it was. Well I made the mistake of saying I’d give it a shot.

Turns out each request for data didn’t return the data. It returned another URL with your request that you would then have to poll. This URL was like a multicast feed and would send out messages about the data that everyone would request and you would have to ignore and filter out messages that didn’t match your request ID.

At some point you’d get a message that did match and then it might tell you that the data is unavailable or something was wrong in your request or that you can get your data now. But it would be in this insane proprietary format and you’d have to write your own parser to parse it line by line and get into something resembling a CSV.

This was marketed as the easy to use API for data scientists as well. We didn’t purchase access after the trial ended. For personal work I just use Polygon.io now.
No it’s the same behaviour for transitive dependencies, if two libraries require different versions of the same transitive dependency, the newer one is chosen.
Deterministic no lock file required.
But, they didn't test the native date inputs, just drop-down and text options. So my point stands for now.

At least they do research and document. Thanks for those links.

I build my web sites based on first- and third-party research, but work in an organization stuffed with managers who want our sites to look more like TikTok, because that's what they spend most of their time on, and think we don't look like a real company if we don't have pop-ups and garrish colors, and things flying around the screen. We're a healthcare company.

I had one manager tell me that the company's web site didn't look like a "real" web site because it didn't have lots of little placeholder spinners. Explaining that they're not needed because the page loads in under a second got me a look like when you're trying to explain temporal physics to a collie.
Trade offs - bitcoin is not a free lunch.

If you want to be fully sovereign with your wealth, you have to accept full responsibility of that wealth. If that is not a responsibility you want bc you believe it is too risky, then do not buy bitcoin.

Or, you can trust centralized authority (a bank) with that responsibility; obviously, the trade off is you lose full control of your wealth.

Additionally, how you approach ownership of your wealth is not binary. Nothing is stopping you from putting some proportion of each in either bank or bitcoin.
I've tried Karabiner Elements for quite some time. Because I came from Windows and wanted to swap some keys around (command/control and some shortcuts).

It seems to me that it made input lag sometimes worse and also just ate input more often that when I uninstalled it. I mean this piece of shit i9 2019 MBP does that sometimes anyway when under high load, but happens more often with Karabiner installed.

> Command-Backtick: cycle current application’s windows

For the Brits among us, or perhaps anyone with a non-US keyboard layout, I recall when I still had my Mac, this wasn't mapped properly. It was the button on the right of the left shift. This was quite strenuous when I had to switch within the same application. I can't remember if I just re-mapped the shortcut or what it was, but I suggest you look into having that mapped to the button right above Tab (below ESC). It makes it a lot easier.
As someone who grew up with Windows XP, the first thing I do when I get a new Macbook is install Hyperswitch [1] which makes Cmd+Tab cycle through all windows of all applications of the current desktop.

The regular OSX workflow seems to be only good for a workflow that includes a single maximised Chrome window with a million tabs open.

That is an inherently subjective question, possibly with different answers for people in different circumstances and with different risk appetites.
This particular one is described as a way to use existing Postgres GUI tooling (DBeaver, Postico 2) with SQLite. Building a compatibility shim for existing tooling is sometimes a more efficient way to solve this class of problem than adapting the tooling to support multiple backends.

I'm not saying it's what I would've done (I have little use for GUI database tooling), but I can see why someone else might.
No, an authoritarian government can always make it illegal to own crypto and/or to exchange crypto to fiat.
I can remember when most wired consumer gear were hubs, not switches. The network would become nearly unusable when you had even a tiny LAN gaming party. Now, I'm not sure that you can even buy an ethernet hub.
Is that the reason for the LBTQ+ friendly tag you can add in google maps?
Build a Slack Music Playlist
Postlite author here. I'm glad to see the interest in this project. This project really only has one use case and that is being able to connect to a remote SQLite database using GUI database administration tools like DBeaver. The idea came out of this Twitter thread:

https://twitter.com/benbjohnson/status/1508927916561743872

It's a recurring theme with SQLite. Many developers are on-board with using it as a database but when you tell them that they also have to SSH in and use a CLI exclusively then they are turned off. Postlite is meant to alleviate that pain.
yes, although I find it unlikely that.
This happened to me, starting a few days ago. It appears to be fixed after adding the DKIM/SPF records.
> are Americans still logging into online banking with a username and password?

For financial institutions identity verification of existing and new customers is a way more complex topic than most people realize. Fraud is an issue but so it’s friction. If it’s too hard to login or to open a new account, people will use/move to a different service. So in the US institutions use “invisible tools” to authenticate users and minimize the risks. Third party services collect huge amounts of user data which is then used to verify customers’ identities in a probabilistic way. (For instance the odds that a fraudster is logging in into your bank account from your phone and from an IP that you have used numerous times in the past are very low)
So while the impression is that only a username and a pw are used, that’s not the case.

So in short: security is not the only goal of the financial services available to the masses. The goal is finding a balance between security and friction.
I don't understand your comment. Is there a meaningful difference between having "access to your wallet's funds" and being able to "transact"?
This is super cool. Is the idea that you could use this as part of a NIC and get higher performance than running eBPF in the kernel?

I had an idea many years ago about using those cheap tv tuner cards that were briefly somewhat popular in PCs as an entropy source. If it could reliably tune to a dead channel I imagine it would be a good source of quality entropy.

The first thing I saw on the github page is a screenshot talking about a shooting, maybe it's a quote from something? I'm unsure but letting you know it's rather offputting.

I couldn't find what the signup process is like, it says it doesn't require creating an account on the official Signal app but I assume you still need to use a phone number?
What’s the point of not trusting the hardware entropy source while still trusting the rest of the chip / hardware?
Seems to me that something like this would be good for on-the-fly interchange between SQLite and Postgres, without the need for dumping and re-importing data.
And I think it's important to say that even if it's a 1% chance, that bad experience can be terrible. Not only are you suddenly stuck somewhere without a place to stay, but you're stuck in annoying situation because of who you are. So you've got this frustrating situation of scrambling to try to find somewhere else to stay, and you also get to feel bad about who you are. You can tell yourself they're bigots and it's not your fault all day long, but the sting of rejection is always there.

I think that's the thing that a lot of (not all) average white straight able-bodied cis-gendered people dismiss. Every slight, every rejection, even if it's not blatant it's in your head: I'm being treated differently not because of what I say or do, but because of who I am. On a good day you might forget for a little while, but you let your guard down for a little and there it is again. It's inescapable and you have to build resiliency in every aspect of your life to not get crushed by it.
Postlite author here. Yes, this is exactly the reason. There's no standard for connecting to a remote SQLite database so this is simply a shim to help support existing tooling. I don't use GUI tooling either but it's the most common complaint I hear when developers try switching to SQLite.
>the thing that's happened isn't a NATO base being established in Kharkiv.

Well no, because Ukraine isn't in NATO yet. And I think that's the point of this war, from Russia's standpoint. If they wait until Ukraine is in NATO, then it's too late to prevent that from happening without WWIII.

My rule of thumb for tech companies is they're all a mess under the covers so every company looks bad from the inside compared to the outside.

> I would trust Google, Apple, and many other tech companies with my money.

When I have a problem and need to call my bank I can usually get an actual person or even go to a branch where I can annoy someone in person, where as Google acts like categorically opposed to support even to people paying or making them money.
We should use the white noise or turbulence generated by our PC fans as entropy sources. Brownian motion is one of the best entropy sources we have.
i love these government design systems.

both the UK gov design system and the US web design system (https://designsystem.digital.gov/). i am always battling with bad UX. that's because i have default settings to help me have a better web experience. once in a while i come across websites designed with care and better experience for the end users. and they stand out.

kudos to the people behind both design systems. you are doing way better than the loud voices we have in the field.

ps: can we get them to adopt a naming convention? (country code + web design system) uswds, ukwds, jpwds, etc...

There’s sabbatical homes[1] which does that.
Say someone lives abroad for a year, and doesn’t want to go through all the hassle of moving out all of the furniture or parking their car in a safe place for an entire year just to rent it for that time.
And the same for the person who’ll be renting, they might be in a similar position, just reversed.

They're "pushing this" on pregnant women because they have a much higher risk of getting covid and if they have covid this can lead to pregancy complications and nobody wants that.
Or, it's what one of my ex-NSA buddies told me: we almost never break the encryption, we break the implementation, because that's where the errors are.

The same can assuredly apply to capturing entropy.

> I often wonder if one could build a business by creating a site that lists a small subset of AirBnBs that are manually vetted like this

A couple questions:

Why wouldn't Airbnb build this vetting process as a feature of their service if/when you're successful?

Once you've reached scale, what would make your service more valuable than Airbnb's attempt at copying it?
I'm struggling to wrap my head around this: why doesn't it follow from that fact?
If you're not signed into an iCloud account, do these get randomly reset half a dozen a day like the text shortcuts do?

I have to use a MacBook for work, but am forbidden from creating or logging into an iCloud account on it, and this is absolutely infuriating.

I found a way to copy all the shortcuts into a file so at least I don't have to retype them every time, but at least six times a day, I have to delete the stupid "omw: on my way!" shortcut and drag my own file back into the window.

Several hours searching for a solution hasn't solved it. This appears to be intentional on Apple's part to force iCloud sign-in.
I agree. This should be an extremely large and extremely serious investigation, no holds-barred.

It could even end up not only as a cause for death penalties, but for a hot war.

One huge problem is that China also knows that they would be the target in a hot war. So, they will do what they're already doing - attempt to destroy all evidence and bar access to the rest.

The other huge problem is that scientists would see such an investigation as, at the very least, risking the end of much viral research for generations. So, it may be hard to find enough good scientists in the field who DGAF about the consequences for their field, despite the fact that one of the best arguments for continued research is a finding that it WAS a weaponization attempt. Far better to make actual bio-secure facilities and develop models and vaccines than get blindsided by something even worse. But anti- hysteria will more likely rule the day.

There may be some solution to these problems, but I haven't got it.

So at this point, we are obviously already in a war against autocracies. As can be seen with RUS supplies of EU natgas, the result of interdependency is coercion, not actual democracy springing up via interchanve. CCP is obviously implementing similar long-term plans on many strategic technologies.

The only way forward today is to literally ban cooperation on this kind of research with such autocracies. CCP has just demonstrated that they will NEVER provide key information in an emergency, no matter how much they 'promised' or 'contracted' to be open.

Yes, international cooperation among peoples can be a wonderful thing.

But we've already done the experiment. If the other people are ruled by an autocracy, it is only poisoning our democracies and building vulnerabilities to future coercion.
I believe in jobs before charity. there are things that need to be altruistically funded due to market failures, but not most things. the root causes of scarcity need to be addressed, and feel-good ad hoc donations tend, in my opinion, not to accomplish that. in the micro, I will never fault someone for doing something self-less, but things need to be fixed at the policy level, or let the market work where it can.
Likewise. I used to have chronic back pain sitting. Consistent deadlifting seems to have fixed that.

Meta's A.I. exodus: Top talent quits as lab tries to keep pace with rivals
Starfall: Finding a Meteorite with Drones and AI
DB2 is really four different products marketed under one brand – three of which have some PL/I heritage, the fourth doesn't:

(1) DB2 for VM/VSE – the first to be released, as SQL/DS in 1981, its code was descended from IBM Research's System R research project, although most of that code was rewritten in the process of productisation

(2) DB2 for z/OS – the first to be called "DB2" (the others were later rebranded to that), released for MVS in 1983. I believe this started life as a fork of the SQL/DS code base, but then evolved in a different direction

(3) DB2 for IBM i – System/38 had an integrated database, but it was non-relational. In the process of evolving System/38 into the AS/400, IBM took the SQL layer out of SQL/DS (which was written in PL/S) and ported it to OS/400 (on which it would have been PL/MI code not PL/S, although those languages are very close to each other), but the lower layers of the stack (storage, etc) were kept from the System/38 non-relational database. In 1994, this was rebranded to "DB2/400", and more recently "DB2 for IBM i"

(4) DB2 for Linux/Unix/Windows (LUW) – this began life as OS/2 Extended Edition Database Manager. It was written in C/C++ from the very start, it has never contained any PL/I dialect code, although some ideas/concepts/etc were borrowed from IBM's mainframe/midrange RDBMS products. The code base was ported from its OS/2 birthplace to Unix (including AIX, Solaris and HP/UX), Windows NT, and Linux.

From what I understand (2) is still predominantly PL/X, although I would not be surprised if it now had some components in other languages such as C++. (1) is almost certainly mostly PL/X as well. (3) probably still contains PL/I-ish code too (albeit technically PL/MI rather than PL/X.)

(Disclaimer: I have no firsthand knowledge of this – I was born around the time SQL/DS and DB2 for MVS was first released, and I've never worked for IBM. It is just what I've pieced together from publicly available sources.)
