> Aaand we're down to single-factor authentication: your password from your password manager plus your backup codes from your password manager.

Couldn't you store your 2FA codes and passwords and backups (theoretically everything) in a password manager (ex. bitwarden), encrypted, salted, hashed and all of that with a strong and complicated password AND hardware 2FA (ex. yubikey) and be better off than separating it out? All of your data is extremely secure, can be managed in one place, and you aren't gonna lose your 2FA codes if your phone randomly breaks. I think for the average user this strategy is the best middle ground for security and simplicity
Just last week there was somebody insisting cell phones work by (I swear I am not making this up!) measuring heat with an analog to digital converter attached directly to the antenna.

And assuring us that, on the basis of his deep understanding, 5G is known to be perfectly safe. :)
If you want an alternative example, the same argument applies to India's caste system.

If people agree that the caste system is correct, is it still classist? I'd say yes, because it enforces the maintenance of classes, and assigns people different opportunities based on their class.

It’s irrelevant to the OP’s point.
The USSR was forced cooperation. The US is voluntary. Which economy fared better?

It makes me sad to read so many comments from people who are convinced that the only way to get cooperation is through force.
It's an interesting full circle from capitalistic company to soviet style censorship.
I do not have a single source, that result is represented across thousands of drosophila papers. There was a famous paper were they showed that fruit flies bred in the dark for many generations showed no significant optic lobe tuning differences to wild type flies, but I don't remember who did that.

You haven't quit already, you're quitting after the meeting (likely 2 weeks from your notice). Presumably if they were the retaliatory type then they could fire you for not attending, right?
I would also recommend Gleick’s book. The best part for me was the extensive quotations from Newton’s correspondence. You really get a sense of his personality from these, and how different he was from basically everyone he corresponded with.

According to Passmark even the 10 core M1 Max gets absolutely destroyed by the 5950X just like I thought. Great chips for mobile use due to power savings but the top desktop chips still are all of course much faster at the expensive of extra watts.
I know they have blurred previews for content marked sensitive and I imagine porn marketers or people sharing content that's illegal anyway are more than happy to ignore that. I wonder if you can blur, or even better, not load any images and display them selectively? Or not load any images from people you don't follow?
Well, I mean, 2 4k monitors is possible on a laptop in laptop configuration these days (4k internal + 4k add-on attached slide-out), so I don't see why it's an unreasonable thing to have where you dock a laptop.

Sure, you could buy a separate desktop for that, but if you also go portable, don't want to bother with some kind of online sync solution, and want to move between laptop mode for on the go and something docked to big monitors and a no laptop keyboard/mouse for when you are at your primary workspace, getting a good laptop plus a dock rather than spending more for a laptop plus a separate desktop which makes you have to compromise on syncing somehow makes a lot of sense.

(Obviously, if you need desktop processing power, thermal envelopes mean that laptops aren't going to be competitive. But if that's your need, you aren't going to be looking at laptops, and how to connect peripherals isn't going to be your limiting factor.)
The specs are often buried in the description on places like Amazon where you get this junk. I don't think the Apple ones are trouble free either. They don't even list what wattage the USB C power port on their dongles takes on the store page [0]. Just a completely separate support page for some reason [1].

Note that while Mastodon is the most widespread implementation, and kind of sets the de-facto standard like IE did with HTML in the 90s, there are a many other fully compatible implementations to run a Fediverse server and federate over ActivityPub.

You can join or self-host any implemention and follow and communicate with users on other servers. There are moderation tools and admins can set policies for federation; some servers are picky with how they federate, some more free-speech-oriented. Fully unmoderated servers with open registration that try to federate promiscuously tend to get siloed of from the rest fairly quickly.

The network is not full-mesh by design, so typically either one of two servers (or user on it) needs to either manually follow users from that server or have content forwarded from already followed actors to ingest it.

The neat thing with this is how you can natively and seamlessly follow vloggers on Peertube on your personal Friendica instance, and boost it to your followers on Mastodon.

People interested in FLOSS and Linux may be interested in checking out the fosstodon.org instance.

I'm on a small not very active Pleroma instance hosted by friends (bio). Some people have accounts on many servers.

I'm going to make a provocative suggestion. The only thing these parents did wrong was limiting Trevor's Fortnite time.

I'm not saying it would have made the difference or any such awful thing. But video games can be a nice time-killer when life is being shitty and you need a way to just... get through it.

If your kid is suffering and nothing you're doing is working and he's self-medicating... maybe it's working. Not everything kids do for themselves is some vice that you have to protect them from.

Hi - I'm the CEO of Interview Query and we wanted to showcase our new job board built exclusively for data scientists and related fields. We've curated jobs specific to data science, analytics, machine learning engineering, and data engineering.

Each job was scraped and then classified into a specific data science sub-group. We've also added filters for seniority, company, city, and more. We additionally added links to some job postings that have company interview guides that are on our site.

Hopefully this helps data scientists and alike find jobs that are relevant to their future job search!
There are many ways to avoid encountering illegal pornographic content on Mastodon. Indeed the one you linked to does just that, by having a mod staff that can block offending accounts and suspend interactions with instances.
For a time, I too shared the idea that multiplication makes things bigger. I don't remember if it was taught this way, or that was just what I inferred on my own. In any case, it was an absolutely terrible way to think about it. Sure, it was fine until fractions. But unwinding that poor mental model was a jarring, painful event. I remember to this day banging my head against the figurative wall, crying literal tears trying to understand how multiplication by a fraction made something smaller.
I think you misunderstand the original post - the parent didnt have some sort of local administrator account (which isnt really a thing on ChromeOS). They signed into a managed account run by the school district, didnt like the policy, then reset the device, signed into the same managed account again, and noticed the same policy was applied.
There are ways of being non-accusatory, but also presenting the exit interviewer with food for thought. First, give a lot of genuine praise during the interview. You must have like something about the job, mention it. All of it. Next, explain the truth about why you're leaving and the problems you saw, but do it in a way that is as charitable as possible to the person(s) that are implicated. Avoid direct character insults. Acknowledge genuine reasons why that situation may have legitimately been happening. I believe there are ways to be mature and candid. And if you can do that, it's often possible not to burn any bridges, but to also reveal the truths you want to reveal.
CPS does pay for the thing. OP wanted their child to use a fancier device and they're mad that it falls under CPS' MDM policy. Go get a free device from CPS, take good care of it, and return it once the child graduates.

100% on board with this. I would refuse to pay for a machine that is going to spy on my kid.

SpaceX has drastically lowered cost/mass to put something in orbit with Falcon 9. If they are successful with Starship they will do so again. Already lowering cost to orbit is increasing access to space for companies, universities, and governments. This is huge. Their success has lead to a number of new companies trying to innovate in a similar way and even. altering how governments plan to run future space programs.
It's to make them stop doing it, not to profit.

Right now they're spending money to spy on students, so fighting that is worth it.

I don’t have the links handy, but yes many are fully aware that the AVF (All Volunteer Force) is in some ways sectioning themselves off from the rest of the population. In other ways I could argue it’s almost becoming a “warrior caste” situation, where fathers serve, (at least one of) their sons serve, and so on. I’m not ready to say this is unhealthy, necessarily, but it’s a very real trend. The only way to fix it is to bring back the draft, in either full or some modified form.

Check upwork or fiver. There are people offering a wide variety of expertise in a format similar to that outlined in the article. I know someone who hired someone to talk about designing building ventilation systems for two hours — it was relevant to his work, so he basically found a way to hire a consultant for a fraction of the normal price.
One solution could be to setup the laptop with a personal email account and configure the school email address to forward everything.

I've seen a lot of self-taught doctor/pharmacists, touting the latest "antioxidant", "radical scavenging", homeopathy, hormesis... For all kind of diseases, developping their own regimen based on their experience of n=2 or 3. This has exploded with COVID. Even some friends that were presenting themselves as science-driven were taking ivermectin when they got infected and came up with all kind of justifications for it.
My guess is as part of the Apple "Just works" philosophy, they just make sure the wattage is high enough to power everything they list on the compatible section and then they can exclude the spec since the user need not ever worry about it.

Mastodon is not "decentralized". Federation is not decentralization. If that were the case, SMTP would be a decentralized protocol. Something that has a point of centralization is not decentralized. The Mastodon node is the point of centralization. Decentralized protocols generally have a continuous graph, not individual centralized shards.

Rates of deaths of despair suggest that people have broken, they just don't have the leverage to significantly change things.

I think there is a big gap between the two claims -

1. Human visual cortex is very plastic

2. There is no inductive bias in the visual part of the brain that has been "trained" by millions of years of evolution.

I trust you are correct on the former, but the latter does not seem to follow from the former.

I just knew that this — like every — article about USB-C hubs wouldn’t mention a single USB-C hub.

A hub is an accessory that turns one port into several of the same kind. Everyone understood this back in the USB-A days.

What this article discusses are port replicators. You might wanna call them docks although a pedant might take issue with that.

To the best of my knowledge, six freakin years after USB-C came to the market, there are no real USB-C hubs available. Some Thunderbolt hubs, but not simple USB-C.

Sure, there are problems that remain. But how can we say there are "so many" of them? We've seen large leaps in capabilities from architectures based on transformers. We've yet to see the limit of transformers as the scaling curves haven't plateaued. It seems to me that we don't know if we're two innovations or two thousand away from AGI. What we do know is that progress has been faster than anyone would have predicted 10 years ago.

Our school (Bay Area/South Bay) uses GoGardian as well. The middle school also forces MITM-ed certificates via securely to monitor all traffic to anyone who wants school WiFi (student, volunteer, or staff)

But I am not panicking though. The companies we work for make such software (list any “enterprise” security company here).

You might own the machine, but they will force the machine to be “managed” if you want to access their network.

Btw GoGaurdian also gets installed if you access the school “Google Suite” account from even your own PC or Mac, not limited to Chromebooks.

> The district should supply the Chromebook for school work. They will manage that as they see fit.

I haven't been a student for a while, but the closest analogous technology they had when I was in high school was my graphing calculator for math classes. The school district mandated individual students each obtain a specific graphing calculator, which was a fully programmable computing environment (the TI-83). But the teachers/administration could and would wield a lot of power over those devices (which the the families owned in the legal sense) - looking through it, requiring students to wipe its storage with no warning, etc. Requiring families to buy a Chromebook and still use a school-managed account with invasive management on it feels largely analogous.

Buying a separate personal laptop is the correct workaround, but unfortunately I don't think the "the school should supply the schoolwork computer" line of reasoning holds up. The hardware/software has become more powerful in the graduation from TI-83 to Chromebook but the principles are the same.
Wording and branding is not a trivial concern if mass adoption is a goal.

So do not sign into his school account? That sounds like they are requiring an MDM be installed on all devices used to access school resources. This is standard security practice.

When you do a full reset (there are multiple types on Chromebooks) it should remove everything. If you sign back into that school account, however, it will re-add it.

If you create another account (not your school) then it should work as normal. You would need to contact the IT team at your school to find out if they setup this as a full device MDM (and if your chromebook is enrolled or not) or if it is just MAM mode and monitors things when using the school account.
Poor server…
Speaking out is not something that puts you at risk. Showing unstable behavior by escalating a simple technical support issue into a rant about ‘spyware’ at some board of Ed meeting tends to raise eyebrows though.

Asking “Does anyone know how to refer these people to law enforcement for prosecution?” regarding a technical support issue is not respectful or orderly behavior.

I mean, theoretically if you can get the model weights onto disk then you should be able to do the computation - but it might takes days or months on commodity hardware. It would also require creating a system that can do this and I doubt there is much demand.
I bought a DisplayLink dock for my ubuntu laptops (2015 XPS and 2021 XPS) and it doesn't really work with either. It's quite maddening.

It requires a strange driver I would've preferred to avoid. I tried a strange workaround on both and neither really works; one still doesn't display through the DisplayPort or HDMI, the other doesn't work with the M.2 2280 built into the dock.

I can believe this is true. It's easier to make reliable AC switches because whatever arcing you get is self-extinguishing because the voltage passes zero 120 times a second. With DC, if you get an arc it'll just keep going as long as conditions allow. That means if you use a designed-for-AC switch in a DC application with the same voltage, it's likely to destroy itself sooner or later.

(Apparently this is one of the reasons why cars stick with 12V for accessories, because if they used higher voltages the electrical switches would be more expensive and less reliable.)

I don't know how this is normally overcome. In a lot of cases, the solution might just be "use a fuse instead".
If concerns about privacy were widespread enough to stop Google Glass, then surely they would have prevented the mass adoption of always listening, always streaming voice assistant devices.

I think that privacy should be a greater public concern, but I doubt it was the reason why Google Glass failed to catch on.
