Despite the issues, there are still valid uses for a safe deposit box. I live in a highly fire-prone area and keep a backup drive with family photos and documents in a safe deposit box in a local place that won't burn when I do.
I find the "three meals assumption" quite bizarre, as I don't remember the last time I ate three meals in one day. I usually have one meal a day, sometimes zero, sometimes two.

It hasn't occurred to me to eat three meals in as long as I can remember. It sounds fun, I love good food, but that would be a binge day. So when I read articles that describe how it's the social norm to eat three meals every day, or hear people making the asumption that just about everyone does that, they sound strange.

I do have snacks as well, but not a large amount and some days I don't eat anything. I'm sure my intake adds up on average, but it's not in the form of three obvious meals. There's no deliberate fasting strategy or anything. No special diet. My meals aren't particularly large either. And I do like food!

I rarely drink sugar drinks so I'm not getting alternative sustenance from that. These days due to Covid isolation I rarely have a cappuccino either - though I used to enjoy those when I went out more, and I guess you could count a milky coffee as a small meal.

I'm overweight with a somewhat rotund figure, btw. That's been true as long as I can remember as well.
This does seem like an instance where accessibility helps everyone. Imagine being able to click on a formula to have it read aloud, resolving any ambiguity in the rendered notation.

Worst part of programmer interviews are coding as performance art.

I don't code "out loud". I kind of get lost inside my own head. I can explain myself after I figure something out, not during. If I'm supposed to talk, then I'm thinking about talking, not programming.

Obviously: I've never liked pair programming. Rubber ducking has never worked for me.

I have some Android phones that have a USB-C port but only support 2.0 speeds (as per the macOS system info USB tree thing). Which version is that then? I've always assumed that the physical layer of the protocol and the connectors themselves were separate specs and you could have USB protocol running over any kind of arbitrarily shaped connector. And no protocol over a USB(-A) connector, because those are de-facto low-power DC outlets now, among other things.

This is not matter of democracy, more this is matter of correct organizational structure.

What I mean, remember Conway rule, that software created by organization got imprinted image of organization structure.

Imagine, making Linux distribution with totally flat structure - this is obvious that kernel must have much higher priority than LibreOffice, or Odoo, or PHP, even considering, that PHP devs number is much larger than kernel team.

What structure mean for priorities - if kernel will be bend for PHP best, we will have kernel, which good handle PHP specifics, but all other tasks will be handled worse, and this is not what customers want now (they want mostly good display speed, second priority good network/disks speed which will obviously demand PHP dev).

So normal modern software development org must have federal organization structure, with departments dedicated to important things, and high level voting should be very limited, and departments should not have rights to interfere to other departments doing.

BTW same problems exists in joint-stock companies - there also much better if major shareholder(s) are also interested in most priority parts of software, and when software architecture changed, also should change structure of ownership.

I use T-mobile and a Pixel, and between the two of them, they do a pretty good job detecting and blocking spam calls and texts (I think t-mobile does the phone calls and the pixel does the texts). I'd say it's gone from big annoyance to very minor annoyance.
Very confusingly written document, but from what I gather there are two vulnerabilities that are problematic for different reasons.

1) a command execution vulnerability in 7z. This is problematic because a downloaded 7z file could compromise your machine;

2) a privilege escalation vulnerability in the MS help viewer. This is problematic because it could allow an unprivileged user to gain admin rights. Why the help viewer does anything as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM is beyond me.

However the post presents them as one single vulnerability?
In this context it means:
-system is built with bearer-style assets in mind to handle liquidations without having a 'negative' balance (so instead of a margin call, onus is on the user to track prices and refill liquidity, otherwise the system liquidates the position to pay back the other market participants involved)
- Anyone can put money in this
- the smart contracts use other automated markets like AMMs (think of it like a two-way vending machine between Twix and M&M's, where one can set the price between two assets based on how many units of Twix and M&M's they put in initially, and people can trade into and out of them by putting one in, and getting the other. The people who put in both provide liquidity, and they get a portion of the trading fees.
These two-way vending machines are set up so that if someone puts a ratio of Twix/M&M's in their vending machine that doesn't match the market price, someone can just arbitrage that out so that the price matches the market. It's like finding the cheapest place to get food
But let's be honest: If the notation is ambiguous, then the the authors did not do a good job explaining it in the first place. That's why scientific articles are not only equations but also text.
When this came up in the context of Bitcoin, my back-of-the-envelope calculations were that Bitcoin and US spam paper mail were roughly the same order of magnitude, close enough that I couldn't say which was actually bigger with the error bars on my envelope.

When I mean memory I mean every possible electrical signal in the brain, including sensory input. Maybe it won't be possible to "see what your eyes saw 10 years ago" directly into the brain, but perhaps you could render it on a monitor?

When it comes to not having an inner monologue, that complicates the example, but I think it's still possible to work with actual memory. What I suggested was a tool to search your memory by tapping into the words from the inner monologue, but if you don't have that available, you can still search the signals of the brain, it would just be less comprehensible. Say you're trying to quit smoking, you could pattern match the brain signals that are present when you have a craving by checking historical data, and pipe that feedback into a controlled release nicotine patch designed to slowly taper you down over a few months.

Edit: While that particular use case doesn't sound exciting (why not just use a regular patch?), I don't think it's because the possibilities aren't exciting but more so I'm just not the best at imagining what the use cases would be specifically.

Hard to judge by region. My American number that I've had a while gets 4-5 spam calls a day and about five texts a week, and it's all trending up, despite whatever the phone companies say they're doing.

The newest one seems to be group FaceTime calls (to about 20 numbers) that hang up after a couple seconds. Not sure what the angle is there; makes me wonder if there's an associated iPhone 0-day. Or maybe just probing phone type.
The idea that adults should learn a second language as if they were toddlers has no merit whatsoever.

For one thing, you don't want to spend three years babbling; you are not small and cute.

Grammar rules don't have to be "formal" (and, anyway, real grammar defies formalization). They are just sentence patterns, with examples.

If you try reading material without front-loading on a working knowledge of, say, the most common 100-200 sentence patterns, you're not working as efficiently as you could be.

The sentence patterns in a grammar dictionary don't give you the grammar, only a way to navigate in the language so you can get the real grammar faster, with less time-wasting guesswork.
I really do feel like there are two versions of the internet. One for people who aggressively use ad-blockers, pay for premium (non-ad) versions of things, manage their inboxes well, and generally are tech savvy enough to avoid 95% of unwanted advertising. Then there's everyone else who just accept the hundreds of ads washing over them at all times, that 60% of their screen real-estate is for ads, are completely comfortable with auto-playing videos, that are okay sitting through 30-second ads before watching a random funny video on youtube, etc. The second category can be sub-divided by motivations (some don't know there's a better way, some don't think it's worth the effort, etc.), but the resulting experience is the same no matter where you fall in group 2.

Here's the (a?) kicker: advertisers are willing to pay orders of magnitude more to get ads in front of group 1. They'll pour so many resources into it that they'll make everything "worse"* for group 2. Group 1 adjusts their filters (both technical and mental), get back to neutral, but the rest of the internet is just a little worse off going forward because advertisers and publishers saw a very slight up tick in clicks after their scorched earth campaign to reach group 1. Rinse and repeat until we find ourselves where we are now.

I used to think that over time group 2 members would trickle into group 1, sort of like how programmers and hackers were using Google before it was cool and slowly the world followed, but that doesn't seem to be happening. Personally I'm seeing the groups continuing to divide. Group 2 really just doesn't see the problems, doesn't care, or isn't willing to put in the slightest effort to improve their interactions with technology and the internet.

My "favorite" outcome of all this is when a member of group 1 is forced to use a device owned by someone in group 2 and are horrified at what they see (favorite because it is equal parts sad and funny).

* "worse" in quotes here because group 2 doesn't seem to notice or care about the slow decline into madness.

But new knowledge is always created as people solve problems which inevitably pop up. And the ethics of today are replaced with new ethics (knowledge) as people conjecture new ideas.

This process goes one way. Free speech leads to progress. Using a contrapositive is invalid because I’m not making an equivocacy, I’m making a causal statement. Man drives car doesn’t necessitate that car drives man.

And I’m not saying “ethics” are bad. Only that our current forms of them, like all forms of knowledge, will eventually be replaced by something better (see: all of history).

Anyway, you dodged the question so I’ll try answering it for you: Your sense of ethic in relation to speech was created because people had the freedom to criticize the fact that ethics come from God/priests/kings/tribal elders/et. al and develop new, better forms. In this way, your and my ethical forms will be replaced in the future by something better.
I completely agree that there are many options outside of startups, even for business ventures, and I wish this were discussed more.

And all three of them are no longer 'successful' at effectively delivering messages because users of those systems are drowning in spam. It completely blows my mind to return to the US and see how bad phone and SMS spam have become. The spammers have now become so effective at parasitising the transmission channels that they have caused them to go into decline. It is easy for spammers and scammers to exist and thrive as parasites in these systems for exactly the reasons stated.
The worst is politicians. You know an organization is corrupt when it exempts itself from the rules that apply to everyone else. In this case, politicians are exempt from spam rules.

I get spam robocalls and spam text messages from politicians in states where I've never even lived. But it's all perfectly legal, because they make the rules.

I've started keeping screenshots of the political spam I get. I'm not sure what I will eventually do with it. Maybe some name-and-shame web site once I get enough of them.

Here's a text message I received just yesterday, from a politician in a state I don't even live in:

This is Danielle Piper Chio,
I'm running for Las Vegas Justice Court,
Department 9. Since 2009, I have worked as a
Special Prosecutor at the District Attorney's office. I
have handled over 50 felony jury trials & brought
justice to hundreds of victims. EVERY LAW
ENFORCEMENT ORGANIZATION has endorsed my
candidacy. My opponent, the current sitting judge,
has had a history of low bail and letting violent
offenders back on the street, to commit more
crimes. We need a change this election, we need to
bring back law and order to Dept. 9. Please let me
know if I can count on your support for my
campaign. If you would like you can email me at
Danielle@Danielle4Judge.com ,visit my website at
www.Danielle4Judge.com ,or call me at
702-706-7117.
Thank you,
Danielle

No, screw you, Danielle. Even if I lived in Las Vegas, why would I vote for someone who sends me spam?
Oh for god’s sake, cry me a river. Boo freaking hoo.

You go to the danger zone, you fucking stop and think, and you read the alerts, and make sure you understand what they actually say. Then you proceed, maybe. Like an adult. Next time, what, they’re going to mistake deleting a repository with changing its visibility?

so tonight I've decided to test the raspberry pi camera end to end, using my window as a test subject. The pi captures the images in specific intervals, another script back them up to my server. I then got those images and used ffmpeg to create a video out of them. 1 foto per frame. Now I'll probable tweak the resolution and the white balance - image seems a little blue.
> It's precisely how it worked everywhere I've lived.

Have you lived in NYC? It's not how it worked here prior to Uber. You could call one of the car services and schedule a pickup ahead of time and they'd show up. Of course it wasn't totally necessary, because you could call Northside or Arecibo at 4am and they'd come pick you up at your house within 5 minutes.

Outside of NYC, yeah it was a mess. I remember being at datacenters in New Jersey in the middle of the night to fix some server that went down when I was at the beginning of my career and you'd have to call a bunch of car services to find anyone working at 4am.
Oh, sorry, older version of OS X.
We can take a look at supporting older platforms later when the project is more matured.

Pure EVs provide more miles per kg of carbon emitted over their life even if you consider 100% coal power generation and most fuel efficient ICE vehicles. I’m not sure what tire pollution you are talking about, but to me it seems like it would apply to both ICE and EVs and should have no significance in an argument between ICE vs EV
Actually, if you put them all on an effective weightlifting and diet program, they'd still decline. More slowly to be sure, but no amount of exercise and diet will eliminate the effects of age. Same is true of mental exercise. Animals, and mammals in particular, lack the cellular and metabolic level repair mechanisms that would make it possible for us to keep running at peak ability indefinitely. We have no organ level repair mechanisms at all, outside of, arguably, our livers. Time is coming for you.
A 30% emissions reduction is amazing, why would you use that argument? Gas engines will always use gas while electric motors can use any kind of electricity. Transferring generation from car to power plant is a fantastic plan. Economies of scale kick in and it allows you to aggressively invest in cleaner tech which causes a virtuous price cycle.
> In terms of active conflicts happening right now in 2022, none I could name off the top of my head. That's not say there isn't any, of course, but they're not as big/well known as the American ones.

Looked it up. The only current active conflict that China is involved in is "Northern Mali" where they contribute UN Peacekeeper troops. I can't seem to find anything else so maybe something is happening in secret but who knows about that.

> My comment was more about them propping up foreign dictatorships when it's in their national interest (again, similar to what the US does), such as what they've been doing for decades in Kazakhstan, Cambodia and North Korea and are starting to do now in Africa.

That's probably fair. However, I wasn't ever talking about that. I specifically stated Yemen and Afghanistan as the examples because that's actual conflict. Propping a friendly regime to you is bad, yes, and is terrible [1] but I don't think it can be compared with actually dropping bombs on people, which is what the US is doing.

China is clearly, as far as public evidence goes, not funding/involved in any sort of wars. The US is involved in multiple wars and is actively funding one, while supporting the other heavily. This is ignoring that the past two decades, the US has virtually been at war constantly. I really don't think the US and China are remotely comparable today. So, I don't see why it's hard to believe that the rest of the world, the people who are the ones getting bombed, wouldn't prefer China over US. It only makes sense.

1. although not hypocritical in the case of China to support a dictatorship but is very hypocritical for the US
I am running into the problem of "too many TVs" already with real televisions, computer monitors, etc. I kinda want to buy a fancy 4K and HDR TV but I don't need it and I'm not sure how I'll change my room to find room for it.

What is it about astronomers and blind spots for heresy risk. Is there a tradition starting with Archimedes through Copernicus and Galileo where they are just disagreeable?

Reading about the soviet purges, it's almost as if they had a simple idea that implied a few consequent beliefs that allowed parties to signal alignment to each other, and then encouraged coordinated aggression against anyone not sufficiently on side.

It rewarded a certain kind of opportunist who wanted to use it to push out competition, and the logic was given there was no such thing as truth or meaning, does it matter whether you are doing valuable work if the credit and proceeds go to someone not aligned to the revolution? Just call them enemies and take their stuff, or be an enemy and have your stuff taken. Convince some people they're in a zero sum game with no higher consequences and they'll do the rest themselves. By most accounts, it sounded like just cultural banditry with a zombie virus ideology and the populace were too meek to do much about it.

Surprised we don't learn more about it in the west just to innoculate people against poor thinking, as it seems like something so obvious and dumb, yet something that could also happen anywhere. Maybe astronomers seeing the vastness of creation and the universe just wouldn't believe other people could be that stupid and evil until it was too late.
"has some goofy looking 4x4 SVU that has been heavily modified to appear intimidating" LOL.
Another way to say this is that, well past 60, life choices outweigh senescence.

I also like to remember that at no time are we really using what capacity we have to the fullest. An activity like chess for instance requires 100% focus over the course of the game to really do well - that kind of workout has got to good for brain health, but it's extremely rare in modern life. Compare with everyday survival say 10,000 years ago, which might have required 100% focus for much of the day.
I have T-Mobile and plenty of spam calls get through. It’s often local realtors or insurance agents doing cold calls from their office.
Right, but recharging on 110v plugs is adequate for daily travel if not cross country, so if the grid can handle roughly one lightbulb per house left on overnight, it can charge cars.

The calculation that's unclear is if every car is a big battery tesla and if its entire range is drained every single day. That's just irrelevant, but what fear-mongering focuses on.
