In other ejection related stories:

> Luxury British watchmakers Bremont are the founders of an interesting tradition. Alongside fellow Brits, aerospace company Martin-Baker, whose construction and supply of ejector seats dominate 70% of the global market, they co-design a signature special edition variant of Bremont’s MBII watch.

> Given their rich affinity with the aviation industry from day dot, Bremont’s aim was to over-engineer one of their timepieces in collaboration with Martin-Baker to withstand the incomprehensible forces felt by the human body when ejecting from an aircraft. These watches, known as MBI, would then be numerically engraved and awarded to any of Martin-Baker’s success stories.

Few watches would have the need to endure extreme temperature changes from -40 to 40 degrees Celsius, or rapid altitude pressures up to 100,000 feet, let alone atomic-level shock testing and prolonged salt water exposure. Bremont Founder Nick English says of the rationale behind the watch, “with the testing and development behind us, both Martin-Baker and Bremont felt that for those pilots who have successfully ejected from a fighter aircraft (it really is a special and elite club), a bespoke and equally special watch would commemorate this well.”

Does anyone have any recommendations for checksumming algorithms in greenfield systems? It seems like there’s lots of innovation in crypto secure hashing functions. But I have a greenfield project where I need checksums but don’t care about crypto properties. Is CRC32c still a good choice or has the industry moved on?

> The silicon-gate bootstrap capacitor exemplifies the paths of information between companies at the dawn of the microprocessor era. Practical silicon gate technology was created at Fairchild (with some earlier roots). When employees (including Faggin) left Fairchild for Intel, they took this knowledge with them. (And in some cases took "lots and lots of Fairchild internal confidential documents", see Shima oral history). From Intel, ideas spread to other companies, such as when Faggin leaving Intel to found Zilog, basing the Zilog Z80 on the Intel 8080.

The "Shima oral history" link is to http://landley.net/history/mirror/intel/shima.html, an interview from 01994 with Masatoshi Shima, an early Intel employee:

> Shima: When Zilog developed the Z80, it was quite successful because they knew the weak points of Intel, what Intel was not going to do. After Z80, they made one mistake. The original Zilog was founded by two guys, Federico Faggin and Robert Ungerman. Federico Faggin came from the semiconductors area. Ungerman came from the software and system area. Federico wanted to do the products related to semiconductors, but Ungerman wanted it related to his systems. The company did not have enough money for two businesses at the same time, and it didn't need two top managers, who fought with each other. Small companies are not able to hire good management. They should have brought more people from Intel, but they made an agreement with Intel not to. I think that was Zilog's biggest mistake. Originally Intel hired many, many people from Fairchild. They brought in lots and lots of Fairchild internal confidential documents. I had many such documents in my cabinet when I developed 4004. When Federico told Intel he would not hire people anymore, that meant he would not get the best people for the logic area.

> Aspray: But maybe it was necessary. Intel learned the mistake that Fairchild had made and had threatened suit against this new company. Maybe there wasn't any choice.

They say this

> We asked them to change the domain to a public one, which Microsoft support denied. It must be technically possible, I guess, but here we are.

So I suppose the issue is: when example.com is a verified domain for some AAD organization, users with a live.com account ending @example.com cannot accept invites to become a guest of an external AAD directory (example2.com) due to this error message.

But i'm skeptical if this is MS's problem where they can't downgrade a domain to only allow registrations via `live.com`, or if Tutanota just wants to have the best of both worlds where some email accounts (maybe even employees' personal email accounts) can be manually AAD-registered to allow data governance within their Microsoft 365 organization, while everyone that's not an employee can still create a live.com account and won't have issues joining external AAD directories.

How much power do weed wackers need?

I have one with an 80 watt hour battery. The level of power seems just fine to me, for the moderate amount of time it lasts.

And that's barely over one pound of battery. Add five more pounds and that's a ton of power while probably still lighter than a gas engine.
From their own press release in July 2022[1] they mined $6.8M worth of BTC, and "earned" $9.8M in power credits. They are literally making more money by abusing the curtailment incentives then they are from mining itself.

And 1k employees is not a lot of employees. 28 million Texans are paying significantly higher electricity prices so a handful of bitcoin mining companies, employing a few thousand people at most, can rake in profits.

I also don't see any moral reason that individual ought to be monitoring their belongings (or paying a company to monitor their belongings for them).

>[...] the risk that they've created [...]

>As to the analogy -- who is Experian in your analogy? And how does the analogy simplify the explanation? I think it is unnecessary and obfuscating. It removes the agency if the entity that has caused the problem in the first place.

Okay but this feels like you're moving the goalposts from the original discussion of "is identity theft some sort of scheme to convince people to take responsibility for fraudulent behavior?" to "is experian responsible for leaking personal information?". "Identity theft" has existed well before credit bureau were breached.
Because it's more mentally taxing, to a degree that many people couldn't manage. You need to track the credit card balance relative to both your current bank balance and expected earnings, and then evaluate that every time you consider a purchase.

Navigating Your Career Towards Your Own Definition of Success – By Miri Yehezkel
"I made a pact with myself — I don’t want to be led by fear. When I identify that I’m avoiding a decision due to fear, I stop to think of the worst case scenario, which for me is to be led by chance rather than creating my chances. I tap into that rebellious side we all have and push myself to get out of my comfort zone, because I know that on the other side I’ll be grateful for choosing authentically." -- Wonderful and brave writing by Miri Yehezkel, making a difficult decision to better align with her dreams and goals.

Gas is up over 100%. Food is up 50% or more depending on the item. Rents and the cost of health insurance are soaring. Even if it was true that the median worker was making 6.7% more, that hardly comes close to making up the gap in what they are forced to spend for basic necessities.

>You need to track the credit card balance relative to both your current bank balance and expected earnings, and then evaluate that every time you consider a purchase.

Keeping track of future expected earnings is only necessary if you want to maximize your spending, but if you want to use your credit card like a debit card it suffices to ensure that sum(bank balance) > sum(credit card balance).
The one thing that keeps me from using smaller competitors is that I don't have a guarantee they won't shut down.

It's been described in some other articles.

A random, unknown, probably unwitting customer of tutanota some time years ago used their tutanota email to sign up for azureAD, and MS basically granted ownership of the tutanota domain (for MS purposes) to that unknown rando who does not work for tutanota and does not own their dns domain or anything like that, they just had an email address that ended in tutanota.com or .io or whatever it was.

It means that ever since then, no one else can sign up for teams (and presumably at least some other MS services) using any tutanota email address, because MS treats them all as "you have to see your company's IT dept for that" they're treating the domain like a private corporate domain like mycompany.com that only mycompany.com employees are allowed to use, instead of like aol.com that any rando can use.

By rights, this should be trivial to fix. Tutanota should be able to go to MS and simply prove to someone at MS that they own tutanota.com (or whatever domain) and maybe show their business incorporation paperwork etc, and remove the bogus "account" as it was never a valid account in the first place.

MS is simply not doing it, for no explicable reason.

Basically it's MS's fault at both places, both the initial error having whatever swiss cheese vetting process to even allow a rando to register a domain they don't own, and now not having any way to correct that initial error either.

Basically, can you imagine that this would all play out the same way if the initial bogus registrant had happened to use a hotmail address instead of some other?

Cool I own hotmail.com now as far as MS is concerned, and if anyone wants to make an account for o365 or teams using a hotmail address, they all have to come see me! And if I'm no longer using my hotmail address and don't even know any of this is going on, oh well the entire world of hotmail users can just f-off I guess!

Somehow, I just bet that could never happen in the first place because of course hotmail would already have been getting special handling since day one and could never be accidentally handed to anyone like that, and even if it ever did by some chance, I just somehow predict that MS would somehow be able to accomplish what they say is impossible to tutanota, and fix that shit, in about 8 seconds.

> "Labor" isn't just the activities for which you are actively producing value for somebody else. Labor is any time your allowed options are restricted as a result of your employer's decisions.

Like I said, this is an abnormal definition of labor. It would mean, for example, that I am laboring 24/7, because there are some thing that my employment agreement does not allow me to ever do.

If you'd like to work under that definition of labor, that's fine, but then you cannot square it with an hourly-wage based definition of compensation for labor, so "time and a half for additional hour beyond 40" makes no sense in such a context.

I fully support people being compensated for such inconvenience. I don't think it makes sense to expect a greater-than-normal-work-time compensation for a lesser-than-normal-work-time inconvenience.

> the banks that rely on Experian would be suing Experian for facilitating fraud upon the bank.

It's a racket, no doubt, but the banks won't be claiming fraud as long as there is sufficient value to them in the aggregate. An account hacked here or there is tolerable, but assessing and managing risk across the bank's entire customer base in aggregate is really the service that credit reporting agencies provide. And according to all the rich people who run the spreadsheets, it's paying off.

That article doesn't say that at all. There is no mention of pre-pay that I could find. In fact, this may not be about credit worthiness at all.

One maybe needs to know Picasso could (and did) paint in other styles, with phenomenal skill, to decide to appreciate his more cartoon like work as a conscious choice. For more modern artists who emerge rapidly into their style, It can be hard to look at a filthy unmade bed, (Tracy Emin) or half a shark in a tank of Formaldehyde (Damien Hirst) and feel like you aren't having the mickey taken. Or Kapoor "owning" Vantablack, and displaying giant mounds of dry colour. Or Oldenburg's "big things" which are all over the US as civic art.

A lot of the critique of Koons comes down to his emulating the Warhol "Factory" model. His personal input into the outcome is sometimes questionable. Why don't we say the same about Andy? Maybe we should?

"Punch" magazine had a cartoon decades ago ranking real unsigned picasso value over faked picasso real signature. Dali (for instance) was sort-of tricked into signing a shedload of paper, maybe he didn't care, maybe he wanted to get rid of the interloper, but there are now works which have valid authenticated signature but which are probably fake art.

(I don't like a lot of picasso btw. I prefer matisse, a contemporary, and I think every bit as revolutionary in his own way)
