My view on this is that the current World Championship cycle achieves the opposite of what it should achieve:

1)There are many tournaments where the best player is not allowed to participate making them tournaments of second bests for no reason other than determining who plays in the Candidates

2)Other tournaments, even those with long tradition, are poisoned by the Candidates because many top players treat them as training ground for the Candidates (hiding preparation or not playing very seriously) or skip them altogether because the Candidates is more important

3) Candidates tournament itself is hyped as the most important event but it by design excludes the strongest player. If you told someone outside of chess about it they would rightly think only a complete moron could have come up with such system

4)Some tournaments with a lot of potential to be fun and competitive (Grand Swiss, The World Cup) cause a lot of controversy because some dinosaurs in the chess world think the strongest player shouldn't be allowed to play. Fortunately saner minds prevailed for now.

What you end up with is a calendar full of events for the second best players which influence all other tournaments in negative way.

Additionally tournaments with a lot of potential (Rapid World Championship for example) are treated as an afterthought by FIDE. 3 day very random event even though rapid chess if widely more popular than classical among casual chess fans.

FIDE does everything to prevent fans from having fun following the game. Imagine half the tennis calendar excluding current number 1 player from participating. It's so ridiculous and obvious watching from the sidelines. Unfortunately a lot of chess insiders literally don't care about the game popularity and think the money they earn grow on trees (or come from the ground as the only serious sponsors FIDE could attract are oligarchs and they oil/gas companies).

I am so happy Magnus is not interested in participating in this shit show any further. His reasons might be personal but it's a great chance more fun formats and tournaments take place and we can all have way more interesting game to follow.

I saw this 24 minute exhaustive review before ordering one last week: https://youtu.be/1qp78fiDD5M
Not OP but I read this as it’s hard for the ego to take.

Even for bets that require little financial investment (i.e. digging deeper into physics) and occupy R&R time - failing can be hard to take.

We like to believe we are the version of ourselves capable of doing anything. If you do nothing - you can die believing you wasted your potential. If you do something and fail to meet your own expectations, you can die knowing there wasn’t any potential there to waste.
I was able to get a US shipment of it to me about a month ago (not via KS), the store has had small batches of restocks available every once in a while.
And for privacy conscious users and other business competitors:

> But they can no longer reuse private data collected during a service for the purposes of another service.

I hope this is applied retrospectively (for even data gathered before the DMA was legislated and came into effect).
> SRE gets this right, at least in theory, by requiring that all production systems be reviewed and approved, including observability and incident management procedures, prior to entering service.

Both doing, and being subjected to reviews suck balls. I’d much rather be on call 24/7 to fix the problems I caused myself.
Man, I grew up in a city called Bend and my family still lives there. Your company name is really tripping me out.
I never understood where log4j 2 was supposed to fit in the ecosystem.

* We had log4j 1, which was good enough for most use cases and everywhere.

* We had slf4j/logback, which was from the same authors, and broke backward compatibility but gave us a fundamentally better design.

* We had java.util.logging, which while braindead was builtin to Java and hence available everywhere.

*We had commons logging, which was never supposed to escape from tomcat, but got overused everywhere anyway.

All of this was more logging frameworks than was healthy for 1 language, and there are some more smaller ones.

Then apache decides to put new people on log4j, do a backward incompatible v2 design that nevertheless is worse than slf4j. Why?
I followed the author's links to the course they got started with, and it's all just very self referential.

What strikes me about this is that some topics become huge for certain times but wind up disappearing almost completely. I've looked at results for this question up to the minute and it's pretty amazing how "race relations" was big the 1960s, disappeared almost completely in the 2000s, got big in 2019, and have largely fallen off the radar today.

Emphasis mine.

> Would you say Calculus textbooks are for people who want others to think for them? Do Real Men take a short primer on mathematical logic and the axioms of ZFC set theory, and go derive Calculus for themselves?

My response was argumentum ad absurdum, so I gain nothing from defending the position, but still:

Walter Rudin's Principles Of Mathematical Analysis would be a terrible book if it tried to relate the matter's purpose at every step. Nobody expects a mathematical textbook to do that.

In fact Principles Of Mathematical Analysis is a great book for being extremely concise and containing just what is necessary for a reasonably intelligent reader to understand the material.

To be more clear, I don't believe that your explanation could possibly be a good reason for these stories being included in a self help book, but without precluding they may serve another purpose.
It depends on how much the Republicans have started to like on Apple and Google again, there's no way a European Union starving for gas come winter-time would impose a 10-20% cut of the turnover to two out of the 4 biggest US companies. I say Republicans because most probably they'll steamroll the Dems in November.
This argument keeps on popping up, but I don't really understand why. Apple themselves already have a platform that's had a reputation of reliability and "just works" that is not a walled garden in most of the ways the digital markets act intends to prevent: the Mac. There's no evidence the the qualities of Apple products are strongly linked with them being walled gardens. Your iPhone will be fine.

(Macs may not be as "just works" as iPhones, sure. I've personally seen that too many times. But computers are also intended to be more flexible and complicated in operation than smartphones, and regardless of personal anecdotes Apple is still widely regarded as building the most "just works" general purpose computers. And whatever faults Macs have, you'd be hard pressed to argue that if only the Mac was more of a walled garden that things would be better.)
You don't improve signal-noise ratio by adding to the noise, so please don't. Comments like this improve nothing.
This seems normal? Groomsmen are supposed to be part of the groom's helpers/runners. Apparently the original purpose of the best man to act as the groom's backup in the event that one of the bride's loved ones tried to take her back from the groom (or the unwilling bride tried to run away). Official sword-fighter/protector type fellow.

I don't think anyone accepts being a groomsman at a wedding without expecting them to be tasked to do something to help out.
Anybody have a link to the original game? I went 0/25 and could use a hint
Engagement is eating the world, maybe engagement is now driving these decisions, too. People who listen more, buy more, so optimize for time spent listening.

My car and phone achieve a level of randomness that makes me wonder at the complexity of the software behind it. Usually it starts playing Music, but sometimes it's another app, especially if the last thing playing on my phone was YouTube. But sometimes it's YouTube even if the last app that played audio was something else. Sometimes I get the pause music from a game that's been running in the background for days.

I can't even predict whether Music will start in shuffle mode and pick a random song or if it will start playing an album I was recently listening to in sequential mode.

The result is that I've started to look at my phone the way I used to look at cable TV, as an invader in my home that works for people who want to manipulate me.
I live in a city with a "modern" streetcar. I even rode it to work for a few months. Two reasons why it's not great.

1. It shares busy streets with cars yet has zero ability to maneuver in traffic. If just one car is parked a few inches beyond the edge of the parking lane, the entire streetcar route is blocked.

2. The tracks trap bicycle tires and cause many bicycle crashes. This happened to colleague of mine, fortunately at low speed. There have been dozens of crashes and at least one death.

Electric bus service is cheaper to install and has neither of these disadvantages.
or perhaps it's because the world is falling apart and we're on a solid trajectory to make it worse, and unlike a war, it's not something easy to bounce back from?
I see. For example the Korean Kuksu had the champion/challenger format until 2008. Then it was discontinued in 2016 but that's another story.

But China's Tianyuan is still champion/challenger (from 2022): https://www.go4go.net/go/tournaments/news/16

Also, only on on-call for things you're actually responsible for. I hate having on-calls span multiple teams. They can then be lazy, as their issues hurts someone else. And the added stress of having to debug and fix shit you're not comfortable touching.

Additionally, I'll never accept on-call with 15 minutes from alert to being on a computer again. It's just too limiting and disruptive of my life. Have to bring the computer everywhere. Any dinner or social event can be instantly ruined. A workout becomes meaningless. I remember doing a swim and having to check my phone every 5 minutes. It's mentally exhausting and frankly not worth the pay.
It's in the name.

To your first point: I find it telling that your main concern with reducing Apple's monopoly power is that it would elevate Facebook's monopoly power. How about we design regulations that mitigate against monopoly power in all its forms? Then there would be viable alternatives to Facebook and all of the sudden their business model based on hostile tracking becomes completely unsustainable because there's meaningful competition that actually respects their users. We don't need to be serfs.

To your second point: Apple exerts influence far beyond their consumers. Even though I'm sure this isn't news to you, I'll still point you toward some interesting articles:

Much of this is invisible to the typical resident of the walled garden, but they actually cause a lot of harm to society because of their market dominance. Anybody with a small child is probably aware of the harmful effects of the "dreaded green bubbles" (I'm sure people will try to counter this point with claims that iMessage is somehow more secure / more functional than other protocols. I invite those people to do some research first. I think you'd be surprised at the gulf between your own understanding of iMessage's security vs. reality).
Too many unknowns with the mileage solution. The most obvious for me is travelling abroad - travelling by car between EU countries is not uncommon. Another issue is that the mileage of the car is not very hard to modify. In Eastern Europe, buying a second-hand 10 year old car, imported from Germany, is almost funny because most seem to be around 90-100 000 miles (140-160 000 km), while looking for the same make and model in a German auto website will show most cars have double the mileage.

What I get from this thread is that it probably matters what RF noise you have in your environment. Some people have lots of trouble regardless of device, some people have no problems at all. I suspect the latter are in a quieter RF environment. I can get quite a long ways from my laptop before my wireless headphones start to cut out. And I don't have any significant issues getting or staying connected. I live in a residential neighborhood, not an apartment, so maybe my location is pretty low-noise.
You generally want to have an email list of people to contact when you launch.
I would make the following changes:
- Make the candidates be the main event, the winner is WC.
- score games as in soccer, 3 points for a win, 1 for draw, 0 for lose.

These changes increase the stakes, incentivize offensive chess, allow the sitting WC to play all the best players rather than one, reduces the time commitment to a single event for the challengers, and allows the WC to partake in the most prestigious tournament.

Your site uses webp, which isn't supported by slightly older Safari / macOS. One idea would be to serve webp to browsers which can support it and png / jpeg to browsers that don't.
It's another case of a webpage working better with javascript disabled by default. Disabling javascript fixes more websites than it breaks.

Then why was it up to Apple? The EU failed to regulate the pervasive tracking of Facebook on devices, Apple did what they could to protect their users.

Considering these giants pay very little tax and employ very small numbers in the European tech sector, "there is way" indeed.

Lol. The encryption keys being shared with security services bits have political cover. Not the rest. It’s surprising European legislation doesn’t yet have a reconciliation process, to prevent this sort of burying-the-lede gambit.
Public bus transit and private car transit are inherently in conflict. You basically can't run them on the same streets and expect the bus to not suck.

You could, of course, run the bus in a dedicated, separate right-of-way to solve that problem. But like you said, just build rail at that point
With some cli familiarity the install process is super simple:

Download the most recent iso
Plug in a USB
$ sudo dd if=Qubes-R<YOUR_ISO_VERSION>-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sd<YOUR_USB_DRIVE> status=progress bs=1048576 && sync

Now start up the destination machine with the USB and follow the installer instructions.

But for whatever reason the actual procedure is fraught with difficulties; and this is from someone who uses qubes daily and has installed and reinstalled qubes on multiple machines.

I've seen:

- multiple random installer freezes (hard shutoff, start again, 3rd try magically works, ?shrug?)

- USB drive overheating (apparently, according to forum posts, sdcards are incompatible with the installer, and some USBA drives are actually sd cards welded to boards... had to crack one open to see that was the failing point)

- incompatible hardware blocks (motherboard is compatible but digging deeper apparently the mobo's chipset is incompatible)

- successful installs freeze on login due to incompatible hardware (Broadcom wifi cards)

Also 8G is the real min req

Dom0, the admin qube, will gobble all of the 'minimum required 4G RAM', 8G will be sluggish with only one qube running, 16G+ should be the min req to use as intended

The best way to avoid headaches is follow the hardware compatibility list and go big on RAM: https://www.qubes-os.org/hcl/

Or buy certified hardware: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/certified-hardware/

Once running, it sings.

Could we have something like F-droid on iOS? I guess that's Cydia now but could Cydia be installed without requiring jailbreaking?
Security engineer here. This is sadly common. The grim fact seems to be that we have a dearth of information security analysts with engineering experience. If they don't have "Engineer" or similar in their title, odds are they haven't had the pleasure of building or maintaining a non-trivial unit of software over more than a quarter or so.

That said, I've seen the inverse problem: engineering staff that either don't understand how their dependencies are managed (not unreasonable for less experienced teams, NPM for example has a tendency for huge dependency trees and this can be a hard problem to manage for a big project) or whom are for a plethora of reasons incentivized to push back on requests for work they don't perceive as important.

The middle ground here requires trust between both parties (InfoSec and Engineering org functions). Sadly, not all security programs are well managed and not all engineering teams have mature practices.

If you have time or capacity, you can get a lot of leverage here by educating your security analysts on how your technology works (e.g. how the build system functions, how your languages of choice share and bundle code). Trust can be built between engineering and infosec teams by educating where possible. Done well such practices can up-level both sides of these discussions and save you stress in the long run.
Sounds pretty good, if you overlook people smoking meth or crack, publicly urinating and defecating on the bus, violence, etc. Not unique to buses for sure. Thanks, but I'll keep my "polite society" vehicle and properly planned highways in Orange County.
That explains why, looking back, I never got a satisfactory distorted guitar tone, but those were also the days of listening to 128kbps MP3's so half the time we didn't know any better.
I think no expert will claim it’s a win for either player, but I don’t think all experts agree it’s a draw. There will be some that don’t claim to know either way.

(If they had to bet, I think all experts would bet on “it’s a draw”, but some experts won’t be wanting to bet, even if they think that’s almost certain)
> You, as an adult, can choose not to install shady software.

You assume that everyone is as smart as you in figuring out which software is "shady software". Majority of the population have no clue and if the path to complying with this regulation is to drop the stance on security (regardless of existing issues with default security, as implemented today) further, well... good luck. Me and you maybe will not get tricked into installing some "shady app" but I'm looking forward to reading more about how people got hacked via their phone because they have installed "a bank app" from "appstore x" thinking that it was from "appstore y".
shhhh, the P&G mafia will soon be knocking on your door if you keep informing the public like this. You have been warned!
Sony solved open headphone jack while being water proof nearly a decade ago. The idea the phone can't have a headphone jack and be waterproof was a lie pushed by Apple to save money on not having to put in a headphone jack.

I've been using Sony phones in the shower and at the beach for years now and only briefly switched to a different company when they tried to pull that headphone jack removal of crap briefly when I needed a new phone.

Flipper zero is more aimed at wireless hacking. Which is very cool, it's a fairly unexplored area of hacking (due to traditionally high barrier of entry), but is a subset of "hardware hacking".

For general hardware hacking I'd get a pirate bus ($30), and a saelae logic clone (cheap). Maybe a nice cheap oscilloscope (but they go for $300+), but logic clone can get you mostly there.

That's the most disingenuous justification that I've heard.
Why is it good?

IPv6 has a lot of problems. Primarily it solves non-problems and doesn't solve actual problems (other than address space). The actual problems with IPv4 are:

1. Lack of sufficient addresses; and

2. Roaming.

It's actually a step backwards for IP portability too. This too is another example of solving a non-problem (ie routing of random address blocks).

The user /64 space was specifically done to be large enough to fit a MAC address, which we never ended up doing. Ports are somehow deemed bad too.

So with IPV^ we haven't gotten away from the need for NATs, we have a ridicously large address space and then waste half of those bits.

This is all classic Second System Syndrome stuff.
I kinda get your point that Apple will have to devote some more resources, but it will only be slightly more: All the API are already there and being used by Apple apps privately and they just have to make it open to everyone. That's not really a huge overhead for someone of Apple's size - they'll just need to publish / update documentation and increase their developer support teams and that doesn't cost 10's of millions of dollars (which is again peanuts for Apple).
Unfortunately that's exactly what it means because most common folk will never put an effort into learning the said proper phone hygiene. :(
FWIW I've been using AnyDesk for free for connecting to my work laptops (located at home, but they're on my work VPN) from my home PC for at least 3 years now with zero issues. I've been waiting for the day that they finally pull the plug, but it's yet to happen (knock on wood).
I sometimes feel that my job description could be "arguing with people who feel passionately about something they don't understand".
