I would think this number can be highly massaged anyway.

I hate twitter but have an account I barely ever log into and have never tweeted anything. If you want bots to be lower then count me in the sample. If you want bots to be higher don't count me since I am not really active.

If you want bots to be lower then take the sample at 4am EST on a Tuesday of US users.

If you want bots to be higher take the sample right after a major news story breaks.

Instead of 5% you could say 10 million active bots a month to make the number sound higher too.

> Every contactless unlock technique is vulnerable to relay attacks.
> - No amount of encryption prevents relay attacks.

This isn't true, and I have the patent(s) to show it.

I developed (along with some truly talented security professionals and cryptographers) the active RFID security system for KIWI, a residential access control system here in Germany. One of the requirements, aside from not keeping a central log of access, was that the system should not work if you were further than 10 meters from the door you were trying to open. Things like measuring signal strength, etc. were not an option, as you might imagine repeaters render that moot.

Ultimately, it comes down to fairly tight timings, the speed of light and the rules of physics, but we could restrict things such that the cryptographic handshake would fail if you were more than about 30 meters away, corresponding to a timing window of about 0.0000001 seconds.

We offered to license the technology to car companies, but they weren't interested.
I would not trust reviews on any site that's incentivized to sell me something, but especially not Amazon which allows sellers to edit listings and put completely different products while keeping the reviews (not to mention inventory commingling so that even buying a legitimate product won't save you).

It may help to go out and do something else that you enjoy, to stop thinking about all this. That would give you some perspective on things and you can get back to your work with a fresh mind.

Also sometimes when you procrastinate it's an indication that what you're doing is not really what you want to do, so you might want to consider doing something else that you can be passionate about (not saying that's easy and you talk about assignments, so you probably don't want to drop your degree out of the blue).
Devices don’t use GATT response latency to estimate distance, but elevated levels of GATT latency are commonly used as indications of relay attacks. A lower latency relay attack can work around this defence. The researcher recommends time-of-flight measurement in a secure ranging protocol to mitigate such attacks.

On the other hand, NVIDIA does not have legal authority to control where its GPUs actually end up being used (nasty things like drivers shutting down when detecting virtualizations aside). How can anyone prove or disprove that a specific percentage of GPUs end up in a specific market, as long as NVIDIA can prove they have kept their usual delivery targets towards wholesale distributors?
> They dream to be able to set car prices based on unlock-able features, basically what Apple has achieved with M1 on Macs.

This is not an Apple thing... For ages CPUs and I think GPUs, too, are basically the same thing between many different models.

Then more expensive versions just get more cores unlocked, higher frequency allowed, etc.
Another factors is that most of the software used by an average linux user is curated by the distro repository maintainers. Moreover, free software is almost always privacy-respecting, so you don't really need much in the way of security to use them, unlike on other systems.
I think these new packaging solutions are only really meant to push proprietary software onto linux.

The very act of living is a war against entropy. It wants our motion to cease.

All the other animals want our food. Many of them want our flesh. Plant viruses destroy our crops. Locusts will starve human children to death. We are absolutely at war.

A trillion parasites want our blood: hookworms, ticks, mosquitoes, you name it.

We destroyed smallpox for ourselves, but we also eradicated rinderpest to the benefit of a great many large animals (deer, giraffes, goats, cows, etc). We never started a Save the Hookworm campaign for good reason. We will wipe those fuckers out eventually.

We don't even have to worry about our children being eaten by wolves in most forests now... because we killed most of the wolves. A fairy tale ending.

So yeah, we're at war and always will be. Let's kill HIV next.
The best solution to getting past the anxiety/fear-avoidance cycle is to take small, manageable actions while accepting the feelings that go along with those actions.

Start with the smallest steps possible. Maybe that means opening the assignment and saving it to your computer. Then put it down and walk away. Come back in a little while and take another small step, such as reading over the assignment or making an outline of what you need to do to get it done. Often once you've done something you will often start to feel a lot different than if you've done nothing.

Keep track of how you're feeling. It's okay to feel more anxiety at first because you're doing something instead of nothing. Those feelings tend to subside over time as you take action, but the point is not to reduce your anxiety, the point is that you are making a commitment to do something in your life, to live your life, rather than to remain paralyzed in fear. Your goal is not to get rid of the anxiety but to live the kind of life you want to live.

This is the model for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. A great book on this is "Get Out of Your Mind and into Your Life."
> I'm not sure if starting something like a 7-day fast without medical supervision is a good idea

We had a whole series of cars robbed on my street last week 100% of them were the "proximity keyfob" types. I would be more excited about the shift to electric if it was just the motors and not the endless stream of marginally helpful but insecure and expensive "features" you are forced to buy on new cars now. I mean if manual window winders are cheaper and use less resources, I want those. It's impossible to get them on front doors now.

> and puts upward pressure on share prices

I am curious if there is evidence for this. I don’t see how distributing capital that could be used for growth pressures share prices up.

People not selling back the shares are trading the current profits for a bigger share of future profits, which may never exist. So I am not sure on a risk adjusted discounted cash flow model there is any justification for increased price pressure.

I always presumed that the main benefit of buybacks v dividends was being able to time capital gains for tax purposes.

But this is all speculation too, no evidence behind my post.

>You framed your earlier comment as being about democracy without qualifications. I'm wondering how far you'd go with that. Is every border territory only a 50.1% vote away from changing countries?

I dont know if 50.0% deserves to be the threshold but whatever the threshold is Im damn sure it's below 90%.

>How often can these votes be held?

Not sure if theres a clear answer to that. If enough of the population wants a vote i guess there should be one.

If there is one and 90% arent voting for the status quo there clearly needed to be one.

>Do they require international observation?

Ideally. I'd love to see international observers in all elections. Would be great if e.g. Venezuelan election observers got to monitor US elections.

If observers are absent and theres no evidence of fraud or coercion though thats not a good enough reason to reject a vote, especially when the result isnt close.

In crimea i find the "international observers" argument especially disingenuous though. The two sides were "referendum without western observers" (Russia) and "no referendum at all, ever" (Kyiv/West).

Ive heard hundreds if not thousands of people reject the idea that the crimean referendum was valid because of a lack of western observers. Not a single one of them rejected kyiv's position that there shouldnt be a referendum at all.

I had that feeling. It pushed me to move to something better recently after stagnating for years.

It’s an ambivalent feeling. I was definitely stressed for months thinking about how much worse my life is as a consequence of comparing myself to someone else. But at the same time, I’ve lifted myself up to a higher standard since that stress turned into motivation. That friend who I felt envious of is also happy for my success, and I’m also happy for his.

It all depends on the type of key your car comes with. Some have protections to ensure that they only transmit when they're supposed to, but many, if not most, can be tricked into transmitting when they're not.

Apparently Twitter claims only 5% of users are bots.

I can't find the exact wording right now, but I recall when I read their original statement from Twitter the number came with several caveats and conditions. Basically they didn't say that only 5% of accounts where bots, but that of accounts that fulfil criteria A, B, C and D, only 5% are bots.

edit: the full information is on page 5 of their Q-10 here [1].

Ah, right, thanks! That wasn't actually part of the statement they quoted (/posed within quotation marks), whence my confusion.

Edit: Or is the point that 20% of floor workers in total do become managers, but that's precisely (or very strongly correlatedly) the subset containing those who have degrees? If so, that makes a lot more sense. I don't really think it's fair to describe as a fallacy, though - it's a function of the philosophy of probability, which doesn't describe the world but our knowledge of it. You could make an analogous statement about roulette wheels, with perfect knowledge of their physics.
In this context there really isn't any difference between the two. Different opportunities lead to different outcomes and vice versa. So if you want same opportunities for everyone you'd have to accept, that to achieve that, same outcomes are also needed.

no its dont make me happy because i dont have friends to talk and to enjoy the nature
I feel content with my life and I'm genuinely happy when my friends accomplish something. I can't remember when I was seriously envious last time. Sometimes, there may be a moment when I feel slight envy, but then I realize that they decided to put effort into that, and I put my effort into something else. Time is limited. Everyone has problems; ups and downs.

I've mostly quit social media because the majority of active people are not interesting, it's full of ad-garbage and heated up debates about dis-interesting topics.

Let us assume you/us/we reach an all-knowing state? Then what? There would be no further step needed, nor desired. For if that's the end goal, then once we have arrived, there would be no further wanting to act upon. Else it isn't the end goal - ceasing to exist seems like a compelling next step.

We act like we know, because it's comforting to do so. Naturally we fall into patterns where we can exert control, feel we have a sense of autonomy, and have things occur with predictability.

As an avid supporter of science, I think you're quick to rely upon it. If it holds all the answers, they won't be unfolding in our meagre lifespans. What I consider greater than science, is experience. Whatever you actually experience cannot be explained away, it is the ground truth. Whether you're experiencing illusion, delusion, or confusion - they are themselves experiences and it cannot be denied that you're having them.

You find everything hollow and lacking because you're looking for meaning and purpose over there, not here. The great thing about the 'here' is it's about as solid as anything can be, and you need not seek anything more than it. It's not going anywhere, and you're welcome at any time to turn your mind upon itself. It is here that contentment, acceptance, timelessness and beauty exist. And when one is content, questions such as yours tend not to arise.

Your experience is the landscape which everything arises. Absolutely everything. Sure, there seems to be a thriving physical world beyond the bounds, and independent of, you. Though without the 'you' to experience it, it's meaningless.

You're never going to get the answers you seek. So stop seeking.

Enjoy each moment. Easier said than done right? Minds are akin to rafts on the open sea, being thrust this way and that. Sitting upon, and identifying with a torrent of thoughts. We identify with these thoughts and they carry us to and fro.

When is that last time you noticed a thought arise? For surely they do. And when is the last time you observed a thought arise, and chose not to identify with it? Thoughts are not you, for you can stand aside and watch them appear and dissipate.

Make a point of sitting back and getting comfy in the cinema of your experience. What will your next thought be? Wait and see. There will surely be one.

Did it carry you away? Do it again. You will start to see thoughts arise all of their own, and you can simply watch them. The tendency is to BE the thought, and this need not be.

The space that is left to experience in the absence of thought will ease the doubts and fear that assail your mind. For these too are the realm of thought identification.

You sound a bit like me. A trick that helps me overcome these situations is to imagine that the worst thing that could happen, in your case, to fail, has already happened. Then I pause and try to see how this affects me. I imagine people pointing towards me, laughing at me, whispering to each other "he failed", then I start to realize, this is not so bad. A failure is just a failure and other people's feelings towards me in this moment really doesn't matter to me.

This helps me to silence the critics in me and to just get on with it.

In fairness, it also used to be the case that simply some of the cores were broken on a "dual core" processor. Because it was actually manufactured to be a quad core processor, but testing revealed that only 2 or 3 actually worked, so then it got sold as a dual core. :D

But the thing now with "pay to unlock more cores" is... interesting.

They'd probably love to turn that into a subscription, too.

In most cases, being fast is useless without being correct. Even approximate things like simulations depend on the programming language being deterministic and correct. Otherwise the math of approximation doesn't work out.

With my programmer hat, the first thing I care is not speed for most cases. Unless there's an explicit need for speed, I don't select the language I gonna use with respect to its performance, and I don't port a tool unless the speed becomes limiting.

It's important to make it run first, then make it fast. Otherwise, things go very wrong, very fast (pun intended).
