It's a nice line of thinking, sure—that you can achieve happiness and contentment without having to strive for the "best".

That's the whole point of the matter though, isn't it, that if you don't have ambition, then you voluntarily get yourself stuck in a rut of your making. "I'm content in that my life is shitty in X or Y way, but cannot do anything about it".

There was a time when I found comfort in thinking that I would grow up to be "comfortably middle class". My parents disabused me of that notion, and now that I am at that stage, I feel as though there is so much more I can learn and do, instead of clocking in and out day after day.

But hey, if you find happiness in working at a gas station or something, maybe you are more enlightened than I am.

Yeah, that's the same way I do it.
Presumably they are referring to length extension attacks. You can't pull them off if you truncate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_extension_attack

Generally though length ext attacks have a solution - HMAC, which is much more secure than truncate.

The more you truncate, the more vulnerable you are to birthday attacks (practically speaking you would have to truncate quite a lot)
1. Yandex supports the Russian Terrorist regime.

The last time I checked, the Google Analytics' Terms of Service explicitly prohibited its use on web sites involving healthcare companies.

That gives you an indication of how invasive it is — that even Google doesn't want to handle the personal information, because it can't be made HIPAA-safe.

Naturally, the majority of healthcare web sites use Google Analytics, because nobody ever reads the Terms of Service.
The Tesla emergency guide mentions using lots of water, or as a backup, dry chemicals, but not foam or submersion. (Why not?)

Thinking way outside the box:

- Can these fires be extinguished with sand? Large air-powered sand pumps exist for metal casting. A "battery-fire truck" could haul tons of sand, an air powered sand pump, and a metal "hose" to deliver sand onto the vehicle from a distance. (https://www.macawber.com/products/pneumatic-conveying/sandpu...)

- What about letting it burn out in a safe way, like a covered grease fire? Winch the vehicle into a fire-proof box (a shipping container lined with refractory brick.) Let it be until it burns out, or if insulated well enough, transfer it to a safer location.
FWIW the trend in the vulnerable 'red wall' seats has been towards the Conservatives for decades. This is partly as a result of partisan and class dealignment, and partly because the Labour-leaning forces of the organised working class have been in retreat there since the 70s. A former mining area like Bolsover, for example, has moved to vote more like similarly situated semi-rural, increasingly elderly, and low-wage areas since the pits closed.

Brexit also a factor in '19, of course, but those seats are red in history and not any more in demographics.
It does not matter what the internal representation is. What matters is that Microsoft is selling a tool which reproduces non-public domain works while claiming to grant the user ownership of the output.
Personally, I'm starting to applaud Zuckerberg for the risk he's taking with this project.

Despite all the hate Meta is getting, we can't forget this is exactly what we all want in the tech world. Established companies making bold, borderline crazy investments into R&D for new markets - remember how yesterdays leader became irrelevant? Usually you would see this taking place outside of the corporation via funding for smaller startups but in this case got the CEOs direct involvement and focus which is intriguing.

What I like about the stuff that comes in tubes, is that it doesn't require a pre-heated lathering bowl or any pre-foaming which makes everything go real quick.

This is an option. I saw somewhere a news that they might license the entire GCloud to a French provider but I can't remember where and when.
Easy. Managers, unfortunately, can't measure productivity nor trust workers. Upper managers want a ROI on their offices/monuments, and they rely on Managers re: productivity measures. Even if they're competent they might/will have bad data. Extroverts figure anybody on their own is like lost - otherwise they'd be amongst people.

I am not sure if I am correctly interpreting your question here, but if I am then I can assure you that a great deal of time/energy/resources are devoted to stopping spamming/scamming, particularly over email. There is an entire public-private industrial sector focused on doing so and many billions of dollars per year are spent towards that end.

A watt to watt comparison is fine. Why hours? I can tell you right now that the big one uses ~4.5x the power. Is it really that much easier to convert the time you're using the device to seconds? If you're going to multiply by the electricity cost anyway, might as well break out the calculator one step early.

1) That line has been trotted out continuously because weed potency has been going up continuously. In the late 90s, good weed was anything above 4-5% THC; the store near my house currently has nothing below 23%. For your beer/liquor analogy to work, you'd have to live somewhere where the bottle shop only sells triple IPAs and fortified wine, and Coors is in the soft drink section.

2) I don't believe there was anywhere in the US where hash products were "widely available" before legalization. And believe me, I was looking! Back then, using hash every day was an expensive and exotic thing to do, like owning an albino tiger. Today it's commonplace and costs less than a dollar a day.

3) You're ignoring the entire point of the article, which is people getting sick. I don't think cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome existed a generation ago. If you'd told me in 1999 that you knew a daily pot smoker who accidentally smoked too much and had to go to the ER, I would've said no way, physically not possible. Today, totally plausible. If everyone just "adjusted their consumption" this would not be true.
If you can't beat the free offering, then go home.

In the real world of physical goods, there are laws against this. But Google's a tech company, so anything goes.

The Venn diagramm of the websites that have a Cookie-Popup right now and the websites that would choose to not be GDPR-compliant is a circle.

This change would mean most website couldn't be used by privacy concious people anymore and that the websites in turn are free to track the sh*t out of everyone else. From my perspective that sounds a lot worse.

The web is a mandatory part of public live for most people by now and it's good and healthy that corporations get push back for not respecting privacy.

One of the biggest revelations of the pandemic: how effective I am when I work in an environment of my choosing.

I know, I know … so much has been written about this.

I'm 36, and every office I've worked in has been open, so that was my baseline.

But I had zero idea how much more effective, stimulated, inspired I could be until I got full control of my space ant time: I've grown, done, learned more in the past 2 years than many before. I've found an entirely new gear or two. I guess this is what people mourned when doors with offices went away …

Yes, some of this may be the shock & euphoria of drastic change; some of it is obviously personal makeup/psychology.

As you said, if where we land is "a good chunk of companies are OK with people working wherever/however, and another good chunk that aren't at least create environments for people who thrive differently," I'm happy with that.

Of course, there will also be the "chunk who aren't OK with that, and still demand no walls or door" … more power to 'em, just not for me.
Hindsight is 20/20 but wasn't it clear that the company selling ads shouldn't be in charge of metrics for traffic and ads? Just like the TV channels had to rely on media rating firms.
They have this great quote on their site:

> 95% of customers say switching to Brex is easy.

(1) apparently getting kicked out is easy too. a bit tonedeaf it is.

(2) those who thought it wasn't easy likely aren't your customers.

I don't know anything beyond what is written on their website, but everything I see sounds far too buzzwordy for my taste to really take seriously.
>The glaring problem is that police can't stop crime from happening. Some cities have rampaging gang violence, which often are gun-free zones.

It's not a glaring problem that police can't stop crime from happening - that isn't their purpose, and barring the use of Minority Report style telepaths in jars of goo, not even feasible.

>Take the guns from existing criminals first, it's already illegal.

We do, after they commit crimes. What legal means are you suggesting to take guns away from people before they commit crimes?
While I should be happy with narrative (I run https://wideangle.co, GA alternative), let's be honest. It not banned. Nor is it illegal.

It is illegal to use it in such a way that results in Personal Data being siphoned to the US.

Is it hard? Yes. Outright illegal? Nah.
Hi, do you think is the right time to start developing an ecommerce with Hydrogen? It sounds you're still in a beta phase where api may change frequently.
> Imo the key question is: If you can find an exploit in the iOS sandbox, will the app store review really stop you?

The App Store review is two-pronged -- it includes some human QA testing, and it also includes some automated screening of your executable, which includes checking for any suspicious library imports or strings. (This sometimes trips up applications which happen to use method names which happen to match up with Apple's internal APIs.) While it isn't entirely impossible for a malicious application to slip past this examination, it's significantly harder than for an Enterprise application which doesn't go through this process at all.
> as simple as injecting the necessary garbage into a comment to fit the required hash for modified code.

This seems true yet there are no demos or documented attacks using this method.

I think practically speaking it’s kind of a pain to do.
It was actually Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith who was selling concealed weapons permits for campaign donations. San Jose is the largest city in that county, and the county seat. That incident showed how pernicious such laws are. The exercise of a fundamental civil right shouldn't depend on political favor.

I don't appreciate it when the whole comment section of a substantive article is complaints about the headline. Maybe we should just have a way for people to privately message the moderators proposing a headline change to correct a misleading headine, and do that instead. Then the comment section could talk about the article instead of the headline.

Truncated SHA-* hashes are more secure against length-extension attacks, but are very much less secure against collision and pre-image attacks (which are more important in most scenarios).
And people who legally and respectfully own guns don't have different hobbies? All they can possibly think about is going out a shooting?

Beyond that, clearly taking away guns doesn't stop violent crime. Domestic abuse is still a major issue even without guns. Knife, club, and acid attacks have taken the UK by storm. Robbery, rape, looting, arson, all things that can and in many cases are done without a firearm.
This seems to be very useful!

I notice that it casts everything to string for MD5 to work. In that case, how does it handle two databases having different types for the same columns? I'm thinking about floats and numerics (decimal places), timestamps (some have timezone support, some don't) and bytes (hex, base64) in particular, but there are definitely others that I'm missing as well.

I give -3 flying ducks about this, and don't want the Git storage format to be diddled with in any way. Git in 2122 should read and write a git repo made in 2010.

Git is not a public crypto system.

If you think a commit is important and needs to be signed, you need to sign the files and add the signature to the commit.
This. I wonder if there is a way to direct my searches first to the domains I have ever visited. Oftentimes I will search for something that I am sure I’ve hit before but can vaguely remember which result set it was that scored my search.

Our brains are not well-equipped to down-rank bad information sufficiently once we are exposed to it. By then, it’s often too late. We do have powers of planning and selective exposure though, so we can say “I think these newspapers are authoritative and these others aren’t, so that’s what I’m going to subscribe to” much easier than “I’m going to selectively ignore this trash information that I see in google results or my Facebook wall.” Tools like this will allow reasonable people to curate the most authoritative sources on their side of the ideological spectrum. So even a right-leaning lens will tend to exclude the most extreme sources, and this will ease pressure on Fox such that it can present more center-right content without losing views. Same with the left-leaning lenses and MSNBC. If this idea proliferates (of selective exposure in a digital environment, where algorithms don’t entirely choose what you see), it can help deflate the network effects of extremism and populism in a virtuous cycle.

i.e. a mass translator. put in a word in x language, receive out a list of the same words in y chosen languages. google translate en masse perhaps with a few extra features.

If this doesn't exist, which I doubt, I suppose it could be relatively easily written with a translation API
> just illegal to use in its default state which transmits PII to the US

As I mentioned in a sibling comment, this is technically true but complying with GDPR takes more than unchecking a few boxes. I've never seen any GA set-up that would remotely approach compliance. At minimum, you need to mask IP's before they reach Google, which means standing up a non-Google server to proxy all the hits. That is more complexity than 99+% of GA installations.
Cannabis and jogging make a lovely combination.
No, just GDPR? I don't see any valid reason a user might want to "opt out" of anti-fraud legislation but I do see a reason why a user might want to access the non-GDPR web.
I use an org mode capture template and a couple browser extensions. Dead simple for bookmarks and surfacing the context inside Emacs. - I have two use cases: 1. a simple bookmark I want to revisit (maybe) and 2. A bookmark with an excerpt from the page.

IANAL but as far as I see it the case of copilot could be described as an ML that will output sometimes parts of the training dataset itself.

> "We want Canadians to find Canadian music. How best to do it? How will you do it? I don’t want to manipulate your algorithm. I want you to manipulate it to produce a particular outcome. And then we will have hearings to decide what are the best ways and explore it."

Why would you need to tweak an algorithm to nudge people toward a certain kind of (government approved) music?

People simply... listen to the music they like! Pink Floyd and The Beatles sure didn't need one to become popular in their respective countries.

> Scott’s comments confirm what Rodriguez has misleadingly denied and Bill C-11 critics have maintained for months: the bill’s discoverability requirements will obviously require algorithmic manipulation in order to prioritize Canadian content.

Why do they need to do that in the first place? Here in America, people buy American content because they want to see it. Same in France. Why are Canadians not buying their own content?

Congratulations on launching. I'm considering hiring a DevOps engineer to share oncall for my solo startup. I need to know salary bands. Do you plan on providing this info?

LatAm is a big place and I don't read Spanish or Portuguese so I expect finding the info will be challenging. Levels.fyi has only Brazil, lists salaries in local currency, and has no info for DevOps engineers. Glassdoor lists large bands. For example, the bands for DevOps Engineer are USD 18k-75k in Rio de Janeiro and USD 14k-25k in Belo Horizonte. Glassdoor's salary bands don't account for English skills.
> If you want to lower US energy prices to combat inflation, impose a cap on exports.

Energy (and oil) isn't fungible. Weird as it may sound, US refineries weren't set up to handle US crude, so it's incredibly wasteful to process it in-country.

And US LNG exports are unlikely to increase in 2022, because exporting infrastructure is already at the limit.
Several countries in the EU have multiple national languages, so it seems strange to expect an amalgamation of them all to only have one.

I am a Brex user, but not an affected user, but I thought this was an incredibly dumb decision.

Cut off future people that don't meet your criteria? Fine. If you need to cut people off, commit to servicing existing people for a really long time (like 3 years).

My trust in Brex is very low, and I already started looking at alternatives. They have proven that if their whims change they will cut you off and fast.

Contrast this with (for example) AWS. I at least believe that if they launch something they will support it for a long time.
It's true for all laws, and yet we write plenty of laws. Like pestilent microbes or pieces of space junk, once there's enough of them out there it's hard to navigate and easy to catch damage for a long time. For guns in working order, even completely freezing all manufacture would leave lots of rapid semi-autos out there for a century or more. Same for the ammo.

I think they’re just trying to fight abuse. You can do everything from colab that you can do from ssh anyway. It’s just faster to enter commands.

Good catch though. I didn’t know that.

When I originally figured out how to ssh in, I kept it a secret figuring that it’d be a matter of time till they clamped down. Guess it took a few years, or I just missed it. Bunch of us in the ML scene used to do it regularly, since it’s way easier to monitor a training run via tmux.
