Well, I clearly live in Norway having given that example. It was a joke about the current weather situation in North (but not extreme North) as it is one of the more timid Summers in recent years.

That seems pretty clear to me, but maybe it’s misleading?
Former old-school EVE player and sketchy scammer here. Pretty true, yeah, but keep in mind it's in-world scamming and is considered a valid or even respected part of the game. I doubt most of them would consider ever scamming or defrauding people IRL or find that remotely acceptable. It's a role play. (I stopped playing long before the official ability to exchange things for real-world money was available, though. For me it was all just exchange of shiny pixels.)
That's affordable!
I switch back and forth between modern High DPI displays and older ~1440p displays. I don't really care myself. High resolution has never mattered to me.

I'm the same way with video tho, I can still watch 480p YouTube video and it doesn't bother me at all. Whereas some people I know can't stand watching 1 second of video below 1080p.
A crisis he was busy to create in the first place.
>We've been pretty successful in stopping major nation states from using bioweapons so far.

Name a major state that has experienced existential war since their invention. Same for nukes.

"We've been successful in stopping" - there has been no "we" doing any "stopping". There have only been "others" "choosing not to". There would reasonably be some point of conflict where the decision falls the other way.
Yup. A trade magazine ad is 100x more likely to be an undecorated copy of a datasheet than some vague emotional bullshit.
If they want to buy big trucks, we need to consider those trucks' negative externalities. A bigger, faster, heavier, and more deadly vehicle, imposes costs on everyone around it.
Yes, ~63 people from a single terrorist group, according to a single report, back in 2015.

DHS obviously has more than one job.

I mean, we're also talking about a place with the 30th busiest airport on the planet, with an international border, and a large international port. Of course the federal law enforcement agency tasked with enforcing laws regarding those activities has an office there.
What is your "science" for dealing with the long term waste?

What "science" do you use to design mechanisms to keep highly toxic materials away from human contact for 200,000 years?

It is not science. There is no science that can solve those problems. It is greed.

(I live in the South Pacific. The French are hated here for what they have done for their nuclear programme)
Unless you have a powerful organization that prevents others from taking power, a powerful organization will always form that takes power.
Depends where you draw the line. The 5 boroughs alone is about 8M, but the broader metropolitan area is something like 20. (And even beyond that it's still pretty densely populated compared to most places.)
Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't try and at least segment commercial pricing versus personal. I cannot imagine many people with personal boats under like 60 feet would stomach 5k a month for internet and there are far far more boats under 60 feet than ones bigger than that (At least in chicago harbors where I am at).
Unless I misread that wiki page, they defeated fixed ground airports with bombers. Which is 100% a usecase for bombers, and always has been. The innovation there was a different bomb.

An ABM is not a ballistic missile - which is to say it does not travel in a ballistic trajectory. It's a specialized SAM designed for attacking ballistic missiles. In addition to the targeting systems and payload other thing that's different is the motor - providing a greater propulsive force with a shorter overall range - which is basically the entire missile.
> Isn't Union Types just the same as "Sum Types" (as in Haskell etc.)?

No, Union Types are untagged, Sum types are tagged.

One consequence is that Sum types can be nested in a way that doesn't work for Union Types.

E.g., with a Sum type like Maybe a = Some a | None, you can have a Maybe (Maybe a) which expands to None | Some (None) | Some (Some a)

Whereas with a union like Maybe a = None | a; Maybe (Maybe a) would be identical to Maybe a.
I would be curious so see how the Hummer EV compares not based on national average, but in a markets where electricity is not produced via fossil fuels, and in a market where electricity is produced via fossil fuels.

Engineering Explained covered this in part, in his video asking whether or not it is better for the environment to keep your current (presumably ICE) car, or buy a new EV.

You're assuming the knew who they were working for. The USG claims they destroyed evidence and obstructed justice.

> The charges against Miller and Taylor pertain to their alleged obstruction of justice, including by destroying evidence, after they were approached by agents with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and asked about their procurement and dissemination of sensitive and confidential information from a restricted federal law enforcement database regarding U.S.-based dissidents from the PRC. This information was used by Liu and Sun in the transnational repression scheme. Both Miller and Taylor were arrested pursuant to a criminal complaint in June 2022.

It sounds like they provided information to the DHS agents from a protected database. Then when they figured out who they had provided this information to, tried to destroy the evidence of their involvement.

We still played hide-and-seek at that age, but we would rebrand/reframe it in terms of a wargame with a name like "manhunt." This was decades ago though.

Yeah, not having the right browser would make it more... static.

If you did it in photoshop, you can't alter the image based on where it is in the viewport. Doing it in this CSS way, the image subtly changes as it scrolls past (particularly the bloom to the right covering someone's head).

Astrospace is also planning mobile broadband trough the satellites, their target audience also rural areas, I wonder they will support ocean as well, if so that would help competition.
Not if you're loading from a UK IP they don't (I'm assume they geotarget pricing; the non-maritime pages display prices in GBP and the maritime just gives a max download speed)

Not all products are as much of a commodity as bandwidth.
The right lesson to learn from Ukraine is that big countries are ever willing to sacrifice small countries in their bids for power. Ukrainians would have been much better off had they worked with Russia to avoid or quickly settle the war, especially after heroically successfully resisting the blitzkrieg-style initial invasion.

Instead, goaded on the by the USA and Europe, they are fighting a losing war that will hurt tens or hundreds of thousands over the coming years. There is 0 chance Russia will back off. Of course, it will also weaken Russia, which is what Europe and the USA actually want. Putin fell right into their trap, and Ukraine thinks it's being helped.
New York MSA is 20M, CSA is 23M
Sums are tagged unions, whereas unions are more general.

Given the types T1 and T2, the union type `U = T1 | T2` includes all values of type T1 and values of type T2.

A tagged union on the other hand is a new type which does not accept values of neither T1 nor T2 without tagging them with their appropriate tag.

> member of Khronos (and so is Microsoft btw) yet decided to push their proprietary API instead of working with open standards

Which open standards? If you mean Vulkan, then it appeared in any viable form three years after Apple released the first version if Metal.

And Vulkan itself was donated by AMD because they couldn't figure out what to do with otherwise proprietary Mantle.
I wonder how hard it would ve to extend the Meshtastic code to send data via BLE phone to phone as well as LoRa.

It's usually done on an ESP32, so fixed repeaters can already handle it, and it would let you try it out without actually having the hardware.
This looks really great. Have you thought about adding Operational Transform or CRDT primitives to your offering? Realtime subscriptions are nice - but they're even better with realtime collaboration. Because you're using SQLite directly, it's easy(er) for you to build in efficient CRDT mutations to your database rows because SQLite's BLOB column supports incremental IO: https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/blob_open.html

This could allow you to save a CRDT update operation without needing to read the entire CRDT blob into memory, parse it, and then save it all back to disk.
This is a restriction of SOC2 itself. SOC2 produces a "restricted use" report, meant for the client company who purchased it, and for limited access by third parties that do business with the client company.

AIUI, the intent is to ensure that the people reading the SOC2 report don't read into it more than what the auditor intended. This, according to the auditors, is fraught with difficulty, because you need a degree of familiarity with COSO principles and general SOC-ese to understand precisely what the auditor is making strong claims about, and what is _not_ being claimed.

In practice, the way this is accomplished is that the SOC2 report includes standard verbiage saying that the report is only for the client company, and for specific third-parties who must have "sufficient understanding" to parse the report correctly.

The client company then implements some process, with the guideline of "do something that won't piss off your auditor". For small companies, by and large the implementation is "you have to be an existing or prospective customer, email to ask for the report, and sign an NDA." The very act of requesting a SOC2 report implies that you know how to read a SOC2 correctly.

Some larger companies set up portals where you can help yourself to their various reports, sometimes without NDA - but in that case you have to click through a pinky-promise to not redistribute, and the report is watermarked with your identity to deter distribution. A very few publish the report at a hidden URL and hand out the URL to anyone who emails in to ask for it, though I personally think that's walking a bit too close to the edge of what they agreed to with auditors.

Companies with deeper pockets end up paying an auditor extra for a SOC3 report, which is "SOC2, but abridged and with unrestricted distribution rights". I believe the theory (besides giving more money to the auditor) is that the SOC3 removes all the information that might be misinterpreted, boiling it down to barely more than "I, a trustworthy auditor, confirm that the company is doing all the right things." You don't get much detail, but as long as you're willing to transitively trust the auditor (who are themselves scrutinized by their regulatory bodies), that gives you a "compliance is yes" document that you can publish far and wide.

If you want an example of what a SOC3 says, Github has one: https://github.githubassets.com/images/modules/site/security...
What specific regulatory changes occurred in the 1980s that created PE? KKR, a pioneer of the industry, was started in the '70s and they did a landmark $380 million deal in 1979, which is billions in today's money.

The first LBO was of Orkin Pest Control in 1964 and there were about a half dozen other LBOs in the 60's.

That is the point. You are showing you are in a position to impose costs on everyone around you, especially with a Hummer.
These groups of people already have a negative discretionary spending capability, they're not going to swing the markets. The markets don't even really jive with working class/normal citizens anyway.

I don't see any areas of the economy where there will be wide spread layoffs besides crypto markets and even then, those people will be swallowed up elsehwere.
For inference, models should be compiled down directly to WASM or WebGPU or whatever, right? The driving language really shouldn't matter at the end of the day.

Unless you've got massive compute bound transformers or old-school full convolutions, if you're interpreting a list of operations you're going to lose perf.
Kind of a weird comparison considering the Malibu is 1/3 of the weight. It's certainly more efficient than a Chevy Malibu at moving 9,000lbs around.

I'm not sure how Americans can undo the colossal car arms race... taxes based on weight? I believe there are actually tax breaks aimed at businesses with vehicles over a certain weight, which seems backwards.
I know it's not you, but even if you had downvote rights you wouldn't be able to revenge downvote a direct comment.

If it's not profitable nationally then I argue the need isn't very big, so they should spend their tax money more wisely on things where the need is clear. Local municipalities are well aware of their needs hence why it is better to have it local.

I don't get your two questions, maybe you can rephrase them?
What we need is for more truth. Unfortunately many Republican and far-right followers think covid is just like the flu. Or worse, that the vaccines have nanochips that will control you. Worst is influential people like Musk who vote for Mayra Flores who is a qanon believer and is against the covid vaccine.

Misinformation is one of the worst problems for the future human race.
Ugly I can live with. The problem is being more polluting and more deadly...

> Scientifically, nuclear waste disposal is very much solvable problem.

No it is not.

There is no place on Earth that we know is geologically stable for the time periods required We have no way of knowing what society will be like ten thousand years from now, let alone 100,000 years. How do we communicate with those people bout the danger of what we left behind?

Greed. Hubris.
Neither iridium nor Inmarsat provides capabilities of starlink: low latency, high bandwidth, asat-resistant, jamming-resistant infrastructure, all this proven in a real world conflict. They are ‘only’ missing coverage. Military will pay top dollar for this, Musk is in the name-his-price territory here. It’s become mission critical overnight. If they manage to cover the full globe, you’ll see the DoD quietly spending billions to have access and more billions to deny any other military the option.
Thanks, that's really helpful to me. In particular, I wanted to know whether creating a table dynamically from Ajax data was sufficient reason to start using Preact/Mithril, and you made it clear that in your opinion it's not.
An order of magnitude higher and it'd be of similar magnitude to the entire USA.

I tend to think of Australia as pretty similar (if literally polar opposite) to Canada. Similar population and standard of living on a similarly large but largely inhospitable landmass.
Ok, changed. Submitted title was "A Facebook account is no longer required to use Meta VR devices".

I'm just not convinced by the argument "Nuclear power is safe as long as we don't make any of the mistakes of previous generations".

Chernobyl didn't make the mistakes of Windscale; Fukushima didn't make the mistakes of Chernobyl; and future nuclear power stations won't make the mistakes of Fukushima (hopefully).

It's possible that the track record for nuclear plants, and handling radioactive waste, is getting better, but it's also possible that on the scale of hundreds of years, there will be new things that go wrong which we didn't predict.

I'm not asking for perfection, though. All I'm saying is that nuclear energy has a history of costing more and being more deadly than its proponents claim, and it's already too expensive to build (both generation and waste storage) at scale, safely, and on time in nearly all countries.
This is something SpaceX does extremely well in general. Check out https://www.spacex.com/rideshare/ for example: fill in your orbit, payload mass and earliest launch date and it will give you a quote. This is to me the gold standard of what I would love to have (but is remarkably difficult to get) from any industrial supplier.
Nice read, I wonder how this was detected though.
Did it trigger any alarms on the infected machine? Was a firewall or specialized traffic inspection involved?
> Miller granted consent and ultimately admitted that he had run the queries for Taylor and sent the results to Taylor via text message, and that Taylor had provided a gift card in return.

Wow it just blows.my.mind. that that is all it takes!
Because it's impossible to "hide" recipients/devices. The get request will reveal that you're messaging someone you didn't want to and anyone adding a "stealth" device to a number auto-notifies all devices linked to that number.

Key generation is trivial. Key management and distribution have its own issues and challenges.

At some level you start requiring certificate authorities (central trust). The DID-core W3C proposal seems to be putting down some of the pieces required to enable rolling your own identity authority. But it is still a long way to go even after around 4+ years.
Enjoyable article.

I am fairly confident that this rootkit would be detected by rkhunter, but possibly only when the adversary is logged into the machine, as the malware hides the pids and network ports associated with their ssh connection.
Hm, I don’t think it’s about the number of repetitions. Even two can be too much if it’s the same logic, not just coincidentally. The same logic may not always be a code clone either. Maybe you need to generalize the code to remove the repetition.

The reverse is also true: If it’s not the same logic, it should not be deduplicated. Even if it is a code clone now. It will probably lead to unintended bugs down the line when that code changes.
I've seen it implemented in exactly this fashion. You can even hook up Stripe (or any other checkout system) in such a way that a successful payment triggers the "feature upgrade" on the back-end and subsequent interactions with your app have the "pro/paid" features unlocked.

I also think that at its core, implementing tiers is an authorization problem, somewhat a hybrid of access control and feature flags. As mentioned above, frameworks like Laravel and Rails have built-in functionality that makes it easier to implement. Once you get to scale, I think the challenge becomes managing and changing the tiers themselves as new features are introduced and managing which customers have access to what (especially with custom pricing/contracts per customer).

Disclaimer: I'm a founder at Warrant, a company offering authz as a service. Given how close this is to authz, we've written specifically about pricing tiers: https://docs.warrant.dev/guides/tiered-saas
Sure...when 60% of the grid is powered via fossil fuels. If that number hits 80% or 90% then what. How about Hummer EV vs. H2? What if someone pays for completely green energy from their electric company? Also...why not include the Hummer EV on your fancy graphs???

Comparing with the H1 does nothing since that was a military vehicle that wasn't really meant to be for consumers. That is also a 20+ year old vehicle at this point.
Aren't those negative externalities already factored into things like the cost of fuel and liability insurance?

This is kind of a nitpick, but U.S. prosecutors also boast 99+% conviction rates. Note that conviction rate is not necessarily indicative of a systems effectiveness (or lack of fairness). Prosecutors only pursue charges in very few cases, and very few of those cases go to trial

probably a marginal rise in risk, but not enough to warrant a complete change in behavior (i.e., actively avoiding the area). you'd need to quantify "common" and the relevant priors before you could know for sure. that's not to say it's prudent to be an idiot and flaunt your wealth or something, but that risk is relative and to act accordingly.
Would you bet that there's not a second failure which distributes nuclear waste in our atmosphere?
Don't confuse downplaying significance, with downplaying novelty. As if big tech has been our friend up until now.
My notes on Anki (experiences, collected tips and quotes)
This is not because of some innate character of Americans, it is because of specific state policies and subsidies. Fuel prices and registration fees are only slightly higher in California but that small economic nudge is enough to knock trucks completely out of the ranks of best-selling vehicles in that state. The Model 3, Camry, Civic, and Corolla all outsell any pickup truck in California.
Twitter employees are well-compensated with base salary, and generally highly skilled. They're going to be fine, who wouldn't want to hire ex-twitter? The job market is still hot for techies.

Beware, their price automatically switches to local currency based on IP address, but keeps the $ sign. It's not that expensive.

I have seen that SSO requirement creep into more and more audits. It reminds me of the requirement to change passwords every month, which was everywhere but now suddenly is nowhere to be found.

It's weird. It's very convenient for the user, but it's on the opposite side of the convenience/security divide. Hijack one session and re-use it for other purposes. Of course it's preferable to not let systems access credentials but one would have thought that we had yubikeys or cards and whatnot now.
As for the weird rapey song, it actually originates from a youtube channel that makes comedy videos.

It's based on a creepy/horror game called Baldi's Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlouAA8mRZo Obviously very NSFW

In context, the song is just adult humor. But, yeah, definitely does not belong in a children's game.
