> It's improbable for the same reasons it was improbable the last time it wasn't true. Secret mass cremations just aren't practical from a logistical standpoint.

Your personal assertion doesn't really hold any water. Mobile crematoriums, or hiding evidence of crimes in general, are not used because they are practical. They are used because it's a possible solution for a pressing problem.

And the "mass" blurb is a misrepresentation of their mission. The purpose of mass crematoriums is not to hide the mass of battlefield casualties, but relative low volume of politically damaging killings, such as quietly disappearing civil and military leadership without trace in a post-invasion/occupation scenario.

In the case of Russia's invasion of the Ukraine, it just so happened that the planned 3-day war followed by occupation never materialized, and somehow that is evidence that Russia's usage of mobile crematoriums is improbable?
I started dozens of rails projects when doing client work. We occasionally chose Django, too.
Proposal: we should drop support for known bad/unsafe cryptographic primitives from popular cryptography libraries moving forward.

When the companies using these bad/unsafe primitives inevitably complain, informed consumers will know to avoid their products and will broadcast a warning to others. The companies will be forced to migrate to safer primitives.

We've kind of already seen this with things like TLS 1.3 (only AEAD ciphers allowed).
I am waiting for cable companies to resurface. Brokers that package a bunch of services together selling a single bundle to the end consumer and negotiating upstream with the many content providers.
Dead for me also.
From about December through to March it felt like it pretty much rained constantly in Sydney, and when it wasn't raining it was grey. You got a few gaps somewhere in there I presume, but I don't really remember having summer.

I definitely remember discovering the shoddy shortcuts taken in my roof and how un-waterproof they are.
I'm not posturing when I say there is no way people are going to be able to vote their way out of this in a sensible fashion. Not only are smart people in a minority, some of them are in the 'fuck you' bloc which is the most sizeable and quite motivated.
Never did heroin, but my experience was that quitting drugs was way easier than quitting smoking. I’ve never had the urge to take drugs again even once, but I miss smoking all the time.
Adventure Playground in Berkeley, California is a throwback to wilder playgrounds (and then some). They hand out saws, hammers, nails, and paint to 5-year-olds. Kids can modify / extend play structures however they want. The slides seem nearly vertical. Most kids smash hard in the zipline sand pit. (Guardians have to sign liability waivers at the entrance.)
My kid absolutely loves that place.
Mine too! They were set upright (like they are on a vehicle) and partly buried in the ground. Kids would crawl in them and just hang out in the cool shade inside. There were 3 tires, one was definitely "the best", and you had to be fast if you wanted to get any of them!
I totally agree, this reaction seems very hypocritical. If some rinky dink startup did exactly the same thing - as they are entitled to do under the licences of huge swathes of code on GitHub - hardly anyone would bat an eyelid. But just because it’s a Microsoft-owned company, it’s somehow verboten?

That seems totally inconsistent with decades of people clamouring for more openness/liberty when it comes to IP rights.
Water markets are broken primarily because of water rights, some of which were allocated centuries ago via local and regional contracts. They are nearly impossible to untangle, and state governments are required by law to honor them.
> Plus the government is led by people who refer to much of the southwest as “fly over country” doesn’t help.

The people who (you assume) don't use the term "flyover country" are the people stopping Congress from spending money to fix environmental crises like drought.

Even so, the White House has ordered studies and gotten Congress to spend a lot of money on the Southwest already[1].

What else are you looking for, exactly? My understanding is that the current crisis is mostly due to agriculture and water rights, and I don't know how they could legally legislate agriculture in a state. That is the responsibility of the state's own government.

Don’t you think it matters whether the claims in the paper are true? Won’t other people be relying on them in the future, depending on how they’re received in the field? It would seem important for other researchers to digest the evidence offered and update their worldviews accordingly, and it further seems like this would be more likely to converge towards reality if researchers talked openly about the process rather than keeping any serious flaws they find to themselves.

I’m not a scientist, so I was relying on secondhand accounts. Am I way off base about what science is, here?
You probably mean relinking: to compare old .o to new, you would need to recompile the source file to get the new .o.
Same for me - I remember a giant "airplane" frame, made of steel pipes/tubing, it was maybe 5 meters wide, 10 meters long, and was at least two meters off the ground.

There were little ladders to enter the body, and monkey-bars along the wings.

I've often thought back and wished I had photographs of it, as it was in a giant field of grass, on a huge slab of concrete. When you fell, and you'd always fall, you remembered it.

Most of the UK parks were like that; concrete/tarmac islands with heavy/solid items on them.

Later there were token changes, removing the tarmac and putting in wood-chip. Eventually even that wasn't enough and all the "dangerous" items were removed and replaced with smaller ones, with rounded corners and less risk of falling.
MMT is a deliberate conflation of monetary and fiscal policy. It’s bullshit.

> Dollars are a medium of exchange because they are legitimized by the government, primarily because they are the only thing you can pay your taxes in if you live in the US

No, they’re a medium of exchange because they have the desired properties due to collective belief (stores value through time, common unit of measure, subdivideable). If I could pay taxes in push-ups, push-ups wouldn’t be a medium of exchange.

> If we all decided to change to beads, for some reason, we'd still have to buy dollars to pay the US government.

No, the IRS would simply not be able to collect because there would be no USD market of any kind for seized property. Zero demand for dollars would be stable.
I had strong feelings about it, and I figured it wouldn't take too much time. I was wrong about that second part :-).
> So once I sell it, if it's still on my hard-drive am I allowed to listen to it in your world?

The same is possible with physical media. Analog media can be duplicated with varying levels of loss, digital media can be duplicated with no loss, and then the original item resold. Why must digital files be treated significantly differently, and suddenly DRM is required to even allow legitimate resale?

If copyright owners had their way, they’d automatically get a blanket license to everyone’s content, while giving the individual person zero rights. The historical behavior of the industry (all the way back to Thomas Edison) indicates that this would be the case.
Have you checked your other Privacy settings under "Message Controls"? There are other categories, e.g. people with your phone number can contact you, people you've previously chatted with on Messenger, and friends of friends on Facebook (assuming you've linked your Facebook account).

If these check out yet you still got the message, and you still feel invested in the issue, you can probably send feedback to Instagram while reporting it as a security issue in a bug report (via https://help.instagram.com/381579045265733), and someone who works there could possibly look into this.
Well, 7-zip, subject of this thread, does it (that one is useful though). Git adds "Git bash here" and "Git GUI here", which I never use. VLC adds 2 items, which I never use. There's useless for me stuff from Windows itself.
When I was an intern at ON Semi, I worked on a testbed that was designed to stress power mosfets with extremely time-accurate pulses of current. The prototype was using an Arduino microcontroller, and I noticed that when I passed small values to delayMicroseconds(), it was just not accurate at all. After a lot of digging, it turned out that they used a small inline assembly loop to count clock cycles, but they had miscounted the number of clock cycles required by the setup. When you're talking about 2-3us with an 8MHz clock, even half a dozen clock cycles will make a big difference!
I feel like you’re implying “I am willing to change my mind” is equivalent to “I believe whatever the last thing I heard was”. But surely this is not so.

Ted Sarandos Explains Why Netflix Will Add New Ad-Supported Tier
I really think the streaming services have collectively re-created pre-Internet cable television in many respects. If you add up the cost of subscribing to the top six or so streaming services, I believe it's similar to a single cable TV subscription in the old era. Similarly, each service has a handful of quality shows scattered amidst a vast sea of low-quality B-movie type material.

What's really odd is that they don't have what anyone would consider a normal searchable database of movies, they're very much into pushing recommendations using their biased AI learning models. Compared to IMDB their interfaces are all incredibly non-user-friendly.

Appropriate safety standards. ATVs with helmets and four wheels not three. Tall playgrounds with appropriately soft ground materials for falling. Eliminating the stupid dangers without eliminating all of the danger. Having a decent sense of progression of risks. Having good responses when accidents do happen.

Basically design experiences expecting nonzero accident rates and design for those failures to go well.
The school my kids go to still has much of the same equipment it had when I went there in the 1980s. You know, the stuff just made from galvanized pipe, some of it hilariously awkward and unnecessarily tall. Even the newer swings are still plenty long.

Not every playground has been replaced with tic tac toe boards at ground level. That's just places that cheaped out. There are still plenty of playgrounds with equipment you can get seriously injured on. Though I don't know if I'd call that a metric to strive for, exactly.

> It should go without saying that the various internet connected and smartphone enabled locks are a security comedy if you care about security as well.

Are they really though? Having something tell me that my front door was unlocked when I know nobody is home and nobody is SUPPOSED to be home, is yet another handy piece of info.

I mean, a good alarm system can fix that as well. Plus smart locks can lock themselves. Plus usually they're not any worse than any other lock you could get at home depot.
It's absolutely perplexing to me that people seem to think that it's blindly OK to generalize purely anecdotal data as absolute objective truth.

Although you have zero supporting evidence for this fatuous assertion, you're perfectly fine with passing it off as empirical data. If you actually took the time to speak to your average software dev particularly in America, you would find that it's more likely that they've worked customer facing retail when they were younger. These are pretty much the only types of jobs that are available during high school. I myself have worked at Walmart, Blockbuster video, Chick-fil-A, and as a landscaper during the summers. None of it was particularly taxing - although it was extremely tedious at times and often boring.

And while we're on the subject of anecdotal data I would say on the order of at least 60 to 70% of software devs that I've worked with in the past were actually in relatively good shape physically and usually were very conscientious about their diet and maintaining regular exercise.

We really need to be filtering people back to Reddit.

Grayshift, a company that makes devices that unlock iPhones for law enforcement, was started by two ex-Apple security engineers.
I think the big difference between a junior and senior is that a junior takes tasks and gets them done, a senior knows what tasks to prioritize and estimate them.

Estimates are always garbage, but the seniors that become trusted and celebrated are the ones that can take a generic ticket and break it into tasks, rank them in priority, and estimate their weight reliably. That doesn't sound like valuable SWE skills but frankly it's way more valuable to people that are responsible for your advancement within any organization more than any concrete knowledge of software development. Don't bullshit and be right and you'll be a good senior dev.

I'd also be wary calling oneself senior with 1.5 years of experience (internships don't really count). Senior means something different everywhere, but it doesn't sound like you've had enough in the way of that.

Better than any book is mentorship. Find the nicest and best dev who can show you new things and work with them on projects that deliver value. Most of the know how in this industry (or any) isn't written down. When you plateau in growth and aren't seeing the opportunity to do more is the time to find a new organization, and 1-2 years is enough time not to look like a jerk when you do it.
The terms of service might not let you sell it, but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to change the email address and password on the account and give the login details to someone else in exchange for some money.
Sorry, I don't. I leaned Kwikset because of their smartkey system. You can rekey the lock to match your existing home keys. I'm not sure if any other brand does that, but it was so simple to do I'm a Kwikset guy now(even their newer dumb locks have this, too).
> “We’ve left a big customer segment off the table, which is people who say: ‘Hey, Netflix is too expensive for me and I don’t mind advertising,'” Sarandos said Thursday, speaking on the Cannes Lions stage with Sway podcast host Kara Swisher. “We adding an ad tier; we’re not adding ads to Netflix as you know it today. We’re adding an ad tier for folks who say, ‘Hey, I want a lower price and I’ll watch ads.'”

This is sort of disingenuous, since they've raised the price so much. Their ad-subsidized tier will likely end up being around the price that we used to pay for regular Netflix. Of course, that was many years ago before their selection was so good, but honestly I can't say for sure that their new selection is better than what they used to have.

> As the company’s share price has tanked, there has been growing speculation that the streamer could be the target of a takeover.

Hadn't thought about this, but it makes sense. It's 75% off the price from a year ago!
> Instead gpg signs the SHA-1 commit digest directly

A minor correction: when signing a commit, gpg does not sign the SHA-1 digest of that commit. This is impossible since the signature becomes part of the commit header which is one of the inputs to the hash function that produces the oid.

Instead, GPG signs the serialized data (parents,headers,tree,message) which would otherwise be the input to SHA-1. Then the sig is inserted into the buffer at the end of the header and the string is digested to produce an oid.

Given the ease of picking most locks anyway, any of those that could be set up to send a notification when locked/unlocked would at least add some logging.

> 1. This doesn't get hot enough to cremate bodies.

You initially questioned if cremating bodies in mobile crematoria was technically possible.

Then you were pointed out that not only is it technically possible, there are smaller mobile crematoria being sold to the public for civil applications which, even though were designed for a whole different problem, demonstrate this is quite feasable and not a challenge.

And your follow-up question is that you feel a mobile crematorium designed for mobile trash does not do a good job cremating a body?

It seems you're desperately trying to move the goalpost. You've switched from "this is an impossibility" to "this specific product wouldn't be as efficient as the Russian ones".
Netflix is a cautionary tale of the “DropBox Problem”. Streaming is a feature not a product. All of Netflix’s competitors consider streaming video as one channel for their content along with over the air, video on demand, theaters, etc.

I disagree. Even the most technologically savvy intruder isn't going to hack my bluetooth/wifi/zwave/whatever lock, they're just going to break the lock or window. And on the bright side, I can tell remotely if my deadbolts are locked, and then lock them if necessary.

Also, there are no default codes, every lock comes with unique PINs. And since it's z-wave, not wifi, it's not connected to any cloud.

You're not alone - especially based on observations during the pandemic, it seem we are woefully unaware and unprepared for how fragile the structures supporting our current way of living are, and how easy they would collapse into a much worse state of living conditions when it comes to power and food, let alone luxuries and internet as we know it...

It also seems to me that most people would not be ready to give up more than 10% of their luxuries / way of living up-front in order to protect those structures and would continue to watch funny TikTok videos and post IG photos until the very moment their internet access goes out and doesn't come back.
