> How would you explain the presence of landmasses corresponding to the Atlantis myth that can be found in the Azores plateau?

Simply, they do not correspond. The Azores were discovered in the 14th Century, and there is no archeological evidence of any settlement or even an ancient advanced civilization prior to the Portuguese settlers. Also, there is no evidence in the Azores of any ancient catastrophe.

The mistake is in assuming that in 300BC, Gibraltar was known as the Pillars of Heracles. Except that it wasn't. Another place, very close to Greece, was known as the Pillars of Heracles. Stop looking in the Atlantic.

And please look at a satellite image of Thera/Santorini and compare to Plato's description (ignoring his obviously ridiculous continent-sized scales). After the catastrophe, Santorini looks like the description of Atlantis before the catastrophe.

Following the broad strokes, a catastrophe destroyed a civilization, which could and most likely describes the Minoan civilization that was destroyed in a catastrophe, namely, the destruction of Santorini.
And it's certainly not perfect in writing async network servers. It adds new concurrency bug types:

Some of it is interesting.

The idea that humans are (in general) machines and all our reactions are stimuli/response. With occasional glimpses of real consciousness that have potential to be developed. That is interesting to me anyway.

However, a lot of it appears hooey. The numerology type stuff for instance.
> each Mx macOS update phones home a) in plaintext and b) with hardware unique identifiers (your ARM's ECID) on every single OS update

Question about this article: At what point exactly during the update process does this happen?

As a workaround, could one do softwareupdate --download from Terminal, turn off your internet connection, and then do softwareupdate --install?
No. It is always worth trying to improve something rather than just quitting.
At what point can you hold people accountable for the actions of the groups they voluntarily associate with?
You can certainly stop them paying themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars by giving themselves contracts as wine vendors.

Yes everybody goes through something like a broker. I run a small agency that manages google ads for small to medium businesses and I frequently get contacted by people who tried to do it themselves and got terrible results.

> In another 20 years will we be saying the same thing about java that people say about C and C++? And will we be telling people to switch to the latest and greatest because Java is "unsafe"?

As long as the vulnerability types that cause trouble in language B are a superset of those that cause trouble in language C, it makes sense to recommend moving from B to C for safety reasons.

This is true even if there is a language A that is even worse and in the absence of language C, we recommended moving from A to B. Code written in A will be worse in expectation than code written in B than code written in C.
Thank you to both of you for your responses, I admit I had some confusion - I hadn’t looked at your product since the last time I used it. And, I wouldn’t say that it had gone well last time.

I have amended my post to refer to yours, for clarity.
Wow. Google is even more of a shit show than I realized.
BTC seems like such a strange choice as a walking-around currency. It's extraordinarily expensive in terms of dollars, time, and energy expenditure to transact with for very little benefit. Maybe some people will say that it has use as a long-term storage of value- i'm not fully convinced on that, but at least I can see the argument for infrequently-transacted accounts. But for buying a street taco? Other crypto projects exist with better properties - cheap transactions, uncensorable and untrackable transactions, programmable transactions, etc. Why try to shoehorn BTC into a role it's clearly poorly suited for?
Religion does that too
I'm not saying every UI update will be good, just that in a huge amount of cases, updates that actually do improve the UI will be placed in the same bucket as bad updates, just because "muh me no like change".
It does not have KASLR and it does not even have userland binaries ASLR enabled by default(not that it matters for this vulnerability).

It won't make it much harder, just a teensy bit harder.

Sexually assaulting people just like Catholic priests or Southern Baptists ministers.
When they're part of those actions, like giving themselves a contract for the wine they make.
I don't think we can really blame slow languages.

Implementations of languages like javascript, ruby - and I would presume python and php - are a lot faster than they used to be.

I think most slowness is architectural.
Catholicism has certainly compelled people to behave "contrary to their own interests" — e.g. preventing LGBT members from pursuing love, preventing unhappily-married people from divorcing, preventing women with dangerous or difficult pregnancies from seeking abortion; and that's without even referencing the many documented instances of child abuse — so I'm not sure that distinction makes a huge difference.

I’m in Canada and there is no medical debt but homeless addict encampments in many cities.
Also, I know people in minority groups who are fantastic at their jobs and have had year-plus job searches.

The "labor shortage" is bullshit. So many good people can't find decent jobs even today, and wages are still hilarious low compared to the outright robbery that capital gets away with.

That being said, I don't think it's necessarily because of conscious racism, sexism, or ageism that companies tend to end up redlined. It has a lot more to do with the fact that managerial decisions are made based on motives that have little to do with business at all. Silicon Valley ageism, for example, doesn't exist because middle-aged men think young people are all geniuses. (Trust me, we don't.) Rather, it exists because the subordinate's job is to make the boss feel young again, to be the Jesse to their Walter White. It has nothing to do with the needs of the business, but it also doesn't get in the way of the business, so it's not likely to be changed.
Also coming from the Midwest, how is fanatical Christianity any better?
Whale oil? Not since GM Type A ATF fluid, 1949. The Buick Hydra-Matic of 1939 used some whale oil, but that was rapidly superseded.
Excuse me if I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that the FoF falls under the more pejorative sense of cult, rather than NRM, given the central role of leadership and the abuses of power. It seems distinct from, say, neo-paganism in that sense.

If you're referring to the parent comment's description of Google, then there's really no point in trying to make a distinction, since they were using it as a polemic anyways. That said, I don't think describing capitalism as the cult is necessarily useful either, in that it implies a reliance on _active_ belief and conscious performance of rituals which doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to me that the more useful framework is Fisher's capitalist realism, which more accurately describes this neoliberal end of history that inspires so much pessimism (and a more Foucaultian sense of power which is pervasive and defines the discursive space, rather than religious, which identifies a moral power within entities). Regardless, theorizing endlessly on capitalism is probably not going to solve actual issues of corporate overreach and abuses of power, so it's infinitely easier to just call Google a cult and hope it shifts public opinion and motivates political action lmao.
What does this have to do with Blockchain?
Fair enough, You make some good points (that I actually mention in my

the threat to expel is another lever for control.
For anyone confused by this comment: it's a copypasted example from the article itself regarding support in redbean for Maxmind.

> Those seem like issues for prosecutors to pursue, not for Google, unless the abuses were happening in Google offices or were sponsored by them.

I'm glad someone else gets my point. These were all someone else's problems to deal with, but this guy kept sticking his nose in even when he was repeatedly asked by his friend, a manager, to butt out.
> And to bring this back on point, to my very specific original comment, the poster I was responding too said this wasn't "hidden behind a keyboard shortcut" when it most definitely was

I'm that original poster. The comment I responded to was clearly referring to holding "ctrl" in order to save to clipboard, not referring to the screenshot ability itself (which as others have mentioned, is not hidden behind a keyboard shortcut, but is an app in Applications/Utilities)
You're not wrong, but there is a large spectrum of success out there. It's not like you get only "one shot, one opportunity" (Eminem) or nothing. Yes there's also a spectrum of the work/reward ratio and sometimes it's skewed in a crappy way. For some people it's too easy and for some people it's too hard

Point is that reaching upper middle class and higher is totally feasible no matter your walk of life as long as you keep the hustle going. Success could only happen in one's late 30s though.

(There are of course overriding factors like having an abusive childhood or something like that. Systematic discrimination plays a big part too. But that's outside the scope of this particular thread)
When you take this to its conclusion, you either read these forums for only novelty and political opinion, like I've come to, or you just get off the forum. Being an expert in a few things is not good for ones own entertainment
I also found this disappointing. There’s supposedly a 100x speed up to be had going from something in pandas to something using plain python lists but I have no real idea what it is or why it might have produced a speed up. I can guess, but what’s the point of writing an article that just makes me guess at the existence of some hypothetical slow code?
This is where the rubber hits the road for Musk’s dealer free model.

Dealers are terrible awful places to buy a car but they’re generally excellent at fixing cars quickly. Sure, they’re very expensive but they also have most parts available for a their brands and an army of techs available.

As Teslas age, there’s going to be an army of technicians needed to fix them. This is going to be 100% Tesla’s problem and is going to eat into margins in significant ways.

Public sentiment can change pretty quickly. Combine halfass build quality with halfass repair service, and "bought once, it was a massive headache to repair, still didn't work, won't buy again" is a common customer story. It'll be hard to come back from that.
Sigh. Started out seeming like an interesting discussion of psychology-of-note-taking, ended up as an advert for yet-another-task-tracker. How disappointing.

The favoritism or vendor corruption is a problem. A problem that's Google's problem if it exists and Google should address if it chooses (probably a good idea but their call).

The sex trafficking charges (or whatever) are a legal problem which government authorities should address (if they exist).

Otherwise, if people want to belong to fringe religious or pseudo religious organizations (aka "cults") that's their business no?

That someone doesn't like the "cult" or considers it harmful has no bearing on if members should be removed from employment. Which (not a lawyer) I doubt is even legal in the US because I believe religious affiliation is protected.
I tried counting a large amount of numbers based on a condition in a loop.

> The Lindy effect proposes, simplified, that the longer something has been around, the longer it will probably stay around still.

I think there is a linguistic ambiguity here. What is meant by "the longer something has been around"? Longer with respect to what?

If you mean to say if A has been around longer than B, then A will stay around longer than B (in expectation), then this law is commutative with respect to A and B and what you specify as "opposite" holds.

If you mean to say if something has been around for t then it will stay around for some f(t) where f is an increasing function, then again what you specify as "opposite" holds.
What red tape exists for a web design business? At the most basic level, you can just work and charge. Maybe register a basic business name for $80 or whatever. If more successful, register a company and handle taxes a bit differently. Is it different where you live?

I'm lost too. The original issue you had was with the idea that we can't study (and have a hard time even talking about, honestly) hormone imbalances as a problem when, because the "problem" has been present for long enough, people have normalized the problem and made it part of their identity.

I have no problem coexisting with trans people. I also find it acceptable to study whether hormone imbalances in humans may be caused by unnatural additions to our environment such as is the case with chemicals that disrupt our endocrine systems despite whether they lead to or are even relevant in said human identifying with some other gender or not. Do you share my stance or are you saying that assigning one balance as normal and other "balances" as irregular is harmful because it, in your mind, runs counter to the normalization of trans people in our society (which I might call out assumes that hormone imbalances are in fact responsible generally for cases of transgender individual).
This is an incredibly immature argument. People only complain about things they care about, and the louder they voice their concerns, the more they care. It’s much easier to be silent and apathetic and just move on.
Capitalism collared by well-reasoned regulation is an extremely powerful combination, but that's not what we have. Utility markets have a built-in safety net for the parties involved that dampens the good parts of capitalism (efficient, innovative services at the lowest possible cost) tremendously. I have a lot of experience in the public & private (really pseudo-public) utility world and a lot of experience out in private industry it's a huge difference.
> Members have described him grooming and sexually assaulting male followers, including minors,

> At a certain point, he said he had thought about both quitting and complaining up the ladder, but ultimately decided against either. He thought complaining could lead not only to the loss of his job, but the destruction of our whole department. The loss of all our jobs. GDS, in his mind, wasn’t on steady ground. A revelation like this would be its end.

> He instructed me to keep quiet. He told me not to tell anyone and to tell anyone I had already informed to do the same. He reminded me again that if I complained about this, I could lose my job. Strangely, he threw in that “Peter is a powerful guy.” It was unsettling to say the least.

Dan was selfishly worried about his job. Great evil happens when people stay silent.
Huh, I never had a microwave growing up. But I use one fairly regularly now for heating up sauces, reheating leftovers, or frozen foods (either home frozen or store bought). I feel like it’s case of the right tool for the right job.
Personal opinion:

Plastics are a genuine health hazard for humans, but not all plastics are created equal. If you are concerned, try to avoid soft plastics that readily off gas as a means to mitigate the issue.
I’m glad I could help! Although really it’s the dev we should thank. It’s been a huge quality of life improvement for me as well.
Ah, the hot dog tithe. To be raised to $2.50 soonTM.
You can have agreements with vendots? How would anyone but you and the vendor know anything about that?
No doubt it is reductive. It kind of has to be - real people are just way too high-dimensional for a single score. But it does correlate pretty strongly with success at onsites. We have a lot of hard data from the ATSes of companies that hire through us, and engineers with high scores on our assessments pass onsites at several times the rate of engineers without them (~2x onsite pass rate, ~7x total hire rate, which is a huge delta!).

Speaking as someone who doesn't like being reductive, I've had to make my peace with the fact that "flawed" can still be "way better than the status quo". And I really do think we do much, much better than the status quo of companies putting a bunch of top schools in as linkedin keywords.

If you're familiar with data science a bit - think of it as trying to project out the first couple principal components of your skills. It won't account for the whole data set, but you can go a long way with just those first couple components.
They swap out parts so much when one supplier can't deliver I wonder if they could even have a reasonable amount of replacement parts at all their service centers. It's part of the reason why you see big auto makers reuse parts between models and for several years. It can make recalls costly if the part in question is garbage, but at least you know everything is the same.
I'm not really a fan of religions or cults, but part of my dislike is the fervent disapproving and interfering with people's lives. Which is exactly what this fellow seemed to be doing. The cult members seemed to be minding their own business and being generally pretty useful and nice. I wonder if his behavior could even have put Google at risk of a religious discrimination case.
>why does a Tesla even need service

Why does any massively complicated machine need service? Because things break.
This is a heap overflow; not a UAF/DF vulnerability. Since there's a lot of pressure to make networking code fast, What you kind of want is array bounds checking on by default and set unchecked on a method by method basis once you know that a particular array access is in the hot path and an index check is known to be rate limiting. That besides, having the kernel panic on bounds violation can be an entry point into other vulnerabilities, even though rebooting your machine is almost certainly better than rogue memory access
I'm not sure whether by "bundling" you are referring to Microsoft bundling IE with Windows, but if so, that was actually one of the findings that was specifically vacated by the appeals court:

These arguments all point to one conclusion: we cannot comfortably say that bundling in platform software markets has so little "redeeming virtue," N. Pac. Ry., 356 U.S. at 5, 78 S.Ct. 514, and that there would be so "very little loss to society" from its ban, that "an inquiry into its costs in the individual case [can be] considered [] unnecessary." Jefferson Parish, 466 U.S. at 33-34, 104 S.Ct. 1551 (O'Connor, J., concurring). We do not have enough empirical evidence regarding the effect of Microsoft's practice on the amount of consumer surplus created or consumer choice foreclosed by the integration of added functionality into platform software to exercise sensible judgment regarding that entire class of behavior. (For some issues we have no data.) "We need to know more than we do about the actual impact of these arrangements on competition to decide whether they ... should be classified as per se violations of the Sherman Act." White Motor, 372 U.S. at 263, 83 S.Ct. 696. Until then, we will heed the wisdom that "easy labels do not always supply ready answers," Broad. Music, 441 U.S. at 8, 99 S.Ct. 1551, and vacate the District Court's finding of per se tying liability under Sherman Act § 1. We remand the case for evaluation of Microsoft's tying arrangements under the rule of reason.
No, the machine (if set to full security) needs a signed ticket from Apple specific to your hardware (ECID) to run. It's just like an iPhone/iPad in that regard. Disabling the internet means the update will fail.

Remember TinyUmbrella and backing up your SHSH blobs so that you could downgrade to previous OSes? It's that same API.

It was more like the 70s. High profile stories included mass suicide at the People's Temple led by Jim Jones [1], Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh collecting Rolls Royces and sexual favours from followers, and of course Charles Manson.

[1] Origin of the phrase "Drink the Kool-Aid". More than 900 people did, and died.

Point being cults are not just a club with a few secrets.

Cults are dangerous. They abuse people physically, sexually, psychologically, and financially, and the leaders reliably scam and exploit the followers. Not infrequently there are links to unusually horrific events such as mass murder and mass suicide.
> West of the Pillars of Heracles in the middle of the Atlantic.

The fatal mistake here is that in ancient Greece, the Pillars of Heracles was definitely not Gibraltar, and Egyptians would not have employed Greek myths. The Greeks had no knowledge of Gibraltar nor the Atlantic Ocean until decades after Plato wrote Timaeus. It was only centuries later that Gibraltar became known by that moniker. Plato was talking about another location in the Aegean, close to Greece, that his readers would have been familiar with, unlike Gibraltar.
I don't think the proposition (for employers) is really to be able to skip interviews altogether, but to find "diamonds in the rough", candidates who may have an exceptional grasp of material that might not be suggested by their resume or years of experience or whatever.

If you can hire someone skilled, but who other companies might overlook, that's a huge benefit to your team.

Triplebyte is really just the first screen, and the importance each company wants to put on the signal is up to them.
