> Do you think youre going to get scammed and send a fraudulent Western Union transfer?

I know for a fact that there are targeted phishing campaigns aimed at users of specific services such as LinkedIn and GitHub and Twitter and etc, primarily because I've been targeted by them.

> What do you think the venn diagram overlap between "uses a specific email for each service" and "gets phished" is?

I know for a fact that the Venn diagram of phishing attempts sent to email accounts that are not used by those services is practically zero.

Do you understand how trivial it is to identify and filter out these attacks when they are sent to addresses that are already known beforehand that are not used for that purpose?
I disagree re Netflix. They invented their own problems by pivoting from an video platform to a platform that measured itself by how much attention it could steal or time it could waste.

You may recall they were patting themselves in the back by adopting this strategy of minimally viable programming. Well, Disney got their shit together and turns out people want to watch good TV. Whatcha know?

It’s a management failure and the ad pivot is a bigger failure. If there was a board with a clue, they would fire the management and start over.
Because The Art of Computer Programming is about as rigorous as data structures and algorithms get, maybe that's an option?
yeah that isn't free either, it adds significant bloat to your metadata. with most enterprise customers encrypting and/or compressing data before putting it into s3, it doesn't seem like there would be much benefit. s3 really isn't the right layer to implement compression. filesystems aren't either. it's better to leave it up to the application.
Wouldn't it be less effort to list all the cases where religion is not used for manipulation and gain?

That said. Strictly speaking, isn't everything we do, including all communication, an attempt to manipulate the world? Malice or not.
I’m looking forward to reading it!
Full self driving - the snake oil Tesla sells to improve their bottom line.
Yes, that's about half of the cost of the current nuclear grid spent for about 7% of the production.
That's nothing terribly special with satellites. They've had phased array antennas for a while now.
Moreover, there is evidence that Google (along with Twitter and Facebook) frequently take actions to suppress opposing views on behalf of, and in collusion with, one side of the US government, including removal of information from one side and amplification of misinformation from the other.

In some cases, it conforms more to classical fascism than many realize.

That said, in this particular case, I’m still not sure it applies.

When it comes to stopping the distribution of child abuse material, there’s no reason to believe that anyone’s acting in bad faith. We can certainly see where they have everything needed to do so (access to people’s personal data, ability to mobilize law enforcement, and a relationship with government that is amenable to suppressing criticism as “dangerous”).

But in this specific case and others like it, we actually see that law enforcement did their job - they did not overreact, they investigated as appropriate, and nobody was charged.

Google continuing to be a dick about it and holding someone’s account hostage isn’t exactly fascism yet, but it is a great demonstration to people how easily big tech can become weapons of fascism, and why it’s important to opt out of centralized big tech (while they still have the chance), to discourage public/private collusion, and reason to support efforts to keep their powers in check, the same as they would any government.
What is religion anyway?

Could you say that any system of thought, where belief is active rather than knowledge, is a religion? I think so.

If so, aren't many systems arguably capable of being called religious? What exactly is the difference between religion and science?

I think that science can be considered as a religion to most, as, in general, people don't verify information or what they are told. Instead they just believe it is true and trust that it has been verified. I really don't see much difference.
WTF is up with Nord? I always felt that VPNs were a pretty niche tech tool, but I see those ads freaking everywhere. Are there that many people that use VPNs that warrant the ad investment?
> While I'd love to mirror whole archive locally, it would really be superfluous because I can only read a couple of quality books at a time anyway, [...]

I'd love to agree but as a matter of fact LibGen and Sci-Hub are (forced to be) "pirates" and they are more vulnerable to takedowns than other websites. So while I feel no need to maintain a local copy of Wikipedia, since I'm relatively certain that it'll be alive in the next decade, I cannot say the same about those two with the same certainty (not that I think there are any imminent threats to either, just reasoning a priori).
> I mean sterilizing immunity through infection is now known (through many thousands of documented re-infections and likely hundreds of millions) to be both irresponsible and a failure.

Infection is documented at being more effective at protecting you from reinfection and from having serious complications from a subsequent infection. Let's not pretend that the Great Barrington Declaration was necessarily wrong, given the suffering supply chain disruptions are now causing, not to mention the excess deaths from untreated conditions and increases in substance abuse. Only hindsight will give us a proper understanding of which choices were better.
I'm not suggesting any particular solution, but I am suggesting that it could become easier over time with different quality of life improvements. I gave examples of products, but it could easily be changes in other aspects of work. Like getting rid of open offices, measuring employees on work accomplished rather than time spent at work, having more frequent breaks during the day, having more flexible work schedules, etc... Again not saying any one of these are the ticket, but that general improvements over time could keep making us more productive without bringing on burnout, or at least squeezing more work in before that happens.
The same attacks can likely also be used to capture verification emails. E.g. for DNS if you can spoof TXT records for Gmail using some malicious server, chances are you can also spoof MX records. And I can't think of shenanigans with BGP that allow you sending spoofed emails that pass DKIM, SPF and DMARC (ultimately routing traffic to your malicious server again), but not allow capturing of mails.

I think the suggested flow is a valid idea to discuss, even though at the end of the day it's still a bad idea (others have formulated a lot of valid criticism that I agree with). But I find your criticism to be unfair, as it also applies to the traditional flow and should rather be a reason not to use email at all (begging the question: What secure alternative should be used?).
iMovie on my iPhone is pretty low friction for me.

Kdenlive always takes me a few hours to get into a groove, but honestly for any sustained project, a few hours at the start is nothing.

Friction occurs between two surfaces. I have learned that usually, my knowledge skills and abilities are the rougher surface generating most of the friction.

YMMV. Good luck.
I actually tried something similar to this on a small social networking service about 5 years ago. There was a requirement for people to interact with their groups via email by replying to other emails or by sending a message to an email address for the group.

For both of these, I made the case that we should require the incoming emails to pass either a domain aligned SPF or domain aligned DKIM check (essentially what DMARC would do).

Since most people are going to be using a 3rd party email service, this just works by default. If they aren't, we shouldn't have any issue with forcing this requirement as it meets absolute basic email standards.

The higher ups let me do it and we ended up creating an instructional email that would bounce back to failed messages with the reason why, an explanation that we couldn't risk someone being impersonated on the platform and a suggestion that they use the app or website to interact until the issue could be resolved.

In the short time that I was there after that feature launched, we never ran into a problem.
Whatever you think of Elon/Tesla this has been the plan for a long time and has nothing to do with inflation: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1117116982778679297
You are right of course in one sense, but look at the comments here! If the HN crowd is still sending verification links rather than codes to be copy and pasted, that implies regular folks are still clicking the links..
Remember a long time ago, you'd get cable TV to avoid ads that you see via OTA TV?

It's ads all the way down.
I'm not entirely convinced with the approach. It seems that there should be some significant discounted concern as you project into the future.

I do find it interesting that most people don't object to the idea of thinking about what is best for your hypothetical grandchildren.
Sounds like a good idea to explore. Glad to hear some new ideas on these kind of flows that usually never get any improvement.
This seemed to go beyond being blunt to get your point across.

It seems there were numerous possible better outcomes and I would have liked to see some acknowledgment of that in the conclusion, lessons learnt, instead of leaning on Linus and "I was right". Especially after 10 years reflection.
Perhaps this was one of the talks by Radia Perlman?
In this she specifically starts the article by talking about high performers.
"I pay privately through my employer's plan, and then again for the NHS."

And yet it is the private system in the UK that is taking away scarce supply from the NHS making it more vulnerable.

There is a supply side limit on doctors and nurses, which means private healthcare works like the Fast Track queue at Alton Towers. All it does is allow people with money to jump the queue at the expense of everybody else.

And remember that since the inception of the NHS Primary Care, ie the GPs, have always been private businesses. Yet that is the bit that is completely on its knees at the moment.

This isn't a private vs public argument. It's far more fundamental than that. It how do we share out increasingly scarce resources in a country that is getting poorer.
as usual the apple subreddit was cheering for this before the thread got removed
> If you don’t control the data it is public. Period.

Funny, censorship (which this case somewhat is) is about making things not public. Though I somewhat agree.
You mean Facebook which is today's scapegoat. They can't buy Beat Saber or Giphy.

Microsoft is buying the largest game developer for $70B without skipping a beat.
> It doesn’t suck.

Yet. If iOS News app is any indication of how bad their ads will be then I think they really will be hurting themselves in the long term. My guess is there are many like myself who now use Apple products as the “least bad” option rather than truly liking them anymore, that sentiment will grow way faster when people start seeing ads in more places.

I’m one of those people where consistent keyboard shortcuts is the main sticky feature, but that only let’s me put up with so much.

The mistake was getting samsung.

But yes it should be widely known that android on samsung isn't the same as android on nokia or motorola.
>lol. Missing 4 zeros there.

Also some execs behind bars won't be a bad idea.
Granted that mistakes do happen, but when they don't resolve it in a timely manner, punishment is fair.

Addendum : I don't know if companies have a govt imposed rule to report porn, in that case I'd say the root cause is the govt, not the company. Of course if the root cause is govt, and even more root cause is people themselves. People collectively generally get the govt they deserve...

These cross-national comparisons are tricky.

For example, US spending on education includes a bunch of healthcare costs, as the employers are paying something (as a benefit) and employee salaries need to cover the rest. Somewhere with single-payer healthcare will directly allocate the money to healthcare instead.
Even if Apple is found to be anti-competitive, it could still be decided that their behavior is in consumer interest, right? For example if their ad service is actually privacy respecting somehow.

It's shocking to me that anyone would pay for this. Tesla has been selling fsd since 2014, and nearly a decade later they aren't that much closer.

Between the low reliability, low build quality, and scammy practices, Tesla has turned their lead into a vulnerability.

Once other manufacturers catch up to the battery range, Tesla will have their lunch eaten.

And I say this as someone who has owned a Tesla for over 8 years.
this is what you get when you elevate an operator (an operations/finance focused exective) in place of a product visionary. that's no knock on tim, who's done what he's been incentivized to do by the board and shareholders, and a good job at that (and rewarded disproportionately so). but steve wanted to win with a superior product, not just numerically as tim does. that's why steve, many years after his death, still garners more respect publicly than tim (though tim is respected too).

it's the same slow decline that happens over and over in these cases. apple is already focused primarily on services, which you can see in their financials. product has stagnated, while services continues to grow, and with it, more and more capital invested in chasing manufactured prestige awards like oscars and emmys.
It depends. It can also be a ego foundation, similar to virtue signaling. Anecdotally, I’ve seen plenty of people establish themselves as morally superior to others. It’s no different than militant vegans, ultra left progressives, ultra right conservatives, the list is endless.

It’s a mixed bag with religion. The non-red flags to look for is acceptance and a surrender to providence and nature. Everything else is fertilizer for the ego industrial complex.

If you follow the link to the original source, they have a nice video. https://www.techeblog.com/jinki-ittai-humanoid-robot-constru...

It's not a "transformer-like" like the title in bestlifeonline, it can't transform into a car (or a plane, or a dinosaur).

It's not even a complete humanoid.

It's just a camera and two moving arms in the extreme of the beam of a crane.

It may be useful for some task, but the article is overselling the current version.
CICD can get out of hand pretty quickly. If an off-the-shelf solution works for you with minimal changes to your code and workflow then that's fantastic. Ofttimes they're simultaneously clunky and full of unnecessary (to you) features while not supporting the few things you care about. Writing a general purpose CICD probably isn't a good idea for most organizations IMO, but writing a CICD that handles just your use cases is super easy and can take less time than writing the workarounds necessary otherwise. Plus, when things inevitably go wrong the code is right there for you to fix.

The second you notice your engineers are writing anything like custom batching logic to get around CICD limits, custom change detection because the general-purpose solution can't appropriately recognize transitive dependencies, ways out of the CICD sandbox to interact with some raw hardware device with vendored blobs that only work on XP, or anything else fancy then that's a strong indication that you would have been better off doing it yourself from the start.
None of the regimes that used the label "communist" in our actual history have ever implemented anything like that in practice. In USSR under Stalin, families of well-off party members (not just political elites, but valuable specialists as well) had domestic servants - not even in a wink wink nudge nudge kind of way, but all completely legal and official.

Communists, and statist socialists in general, are actually represented in the book as the state of Thu. And it's implied to be just as nasty and authoritarian as the real deal.
What are you referring to. The graphics were stunning? Are you referring to the tiny number of low poly assets like the oil pipe refilling the fuel? There were maybe 10 of those in the entire video.
I’m all for creating a new salary band for teachers with 1300+ SAT scores and STEM degrees. I’ll pay whatever taxes you want for that.
The physics knowledge isn’t the important part of being a physics teacher. The “teacher” part is. Teaching is its own discipline for a reason.

Or, the ability to explain physics to one person is not the ability to successfully teach physics to 30 teenagers in a high school setting.
At the risk of belaboring my point, even if what you say is true this attitude is a root cause of this unfortunate situation.

Good journalism isn’t fungible — it costs money to produce. When we actively choose to not pay for media, we have no one but ourselves to blame for the awful biased or clickbait junk that results.
There's a few common practices across religions, spirituality, and philosophies.

Surrendering/forgiveness, constant reflection on death, and separation of the self tend to come to mind.

Most religions instill these ideas/virtues which may "modulate" the ego. For devout practitioners, they tend to live by these virtues and actually "reduce" the ego to near extinction.

The question is, do people naturally come across these ideas without religion/spirituality/etc? I was raised non-religious and didn't come across many of these ideas until my late 20s when I started to read again. Most of that came from reading religious/spiritual types of texts.
It shouldn't bother you at first, but what they can eat and what they can wear quickly turns into what you're allowed to eat and wear in certain religions.
I think this post is a example of "That it makes sense in your head doesn't mean the universe works like that". I mean, yeah, you can frame/conceptualize it like that, but i have doubt its useful or falsifiable.
The problem comes when they try to impose those things on other people.
Nonsense? If you know what distinguishes these things as nonsense, why didn’t they consult you when compiling these sources? Surely you could have helped them produce value. /s

Seriously though, you clearly need a reality check. SWEBOK is by no means necessary; it’s far from it. Saying it’s a complete waste of time shows that you have poor judgement on the subject. To your earlier point, having someone guide you through the poignant aspects of CMMI 1.3 is exactly the kind of value added by paying a teacher (where you would otherwise have to sift through piles of less valuable material). I only preach out of a sense of trying to help you and the others you have influence over. If you’ve actually worked yourself into a position where you hire people, and you’re not just pretending on the internet, you could do yourself a favor by being a little more open minded. Maybe consider that your original reply has been downvoted on a forum with “hacker” in its name.
I agree. The iPhone is indeed not perfect, but Android makes me grow white hair. (I don’t use the news app though. Can’t say anything about it. If they start putting ads around the system I will think of alternatives.)
As summarized by Jesus of Nazareth: the greatest commandment is Love your God with all your heart, Love your neighbor as yourself.

I've always consider this less as a command and more the code that is already running on every human operating system. After all the summarizer is claiming to be close with the creator. Something worth considering.

So if our code is we will be consumed whatever we choose to be our god (science, religion, ourselves...) we will also love or harm others the way we love and harm ourselves. The most consistently kind, life giving people I have ever encountered are treating others the way they treat themselves. The people who I've been abused by, with hindsight can see they were harming me the way the harm themselves.

This is critical for our own self diagnostics, alignment, and ultimately how we build healthy civilization. I would invite anyone reading this to use science to rigorously form, and reform questions. Science is a lousy religion in my opinion, however I have found rediscovering my own heritage through the Spanish Mystics, science applied to religion or perhaps better referred to as ones on personal faith has unlocked a peace within my own inner development and facing universe spanning unknowns.

I hope this note finds you well.

I admire your optimistic view, but in every collective project there's an a-hole just and solely looking out for themselves.

And what you mightn't see is the threat this poses to the evidently unfair, but also evidently well entrenched status quo.
I only use awk. sed is unnecessary when you know awk has gsub or sub. Though I would say, I'd really like lua to be in there considering its small size.
“Having those calculations done on the chip instead of sending information to and from the cloud could enable faster, more secure, cheaper, and more scalable AI going into the future, and give more people access to AI power,” said H.-S Philip Wong,

Huh... why is he comparing it to network (cloud) transfers and not to the current CPU-RAM transfers? I thought the benefit of compute-in-memory is reduction of CPU-RAM transfers and that's what they're also saying in the beginning of the article.
I do not believe your explanation is simpler. At least not without more evidence.

The main reason is that all of the lockdown and curfew stuff was 2 years back now! Most people have just signed out of the covid discussion and are not doing any mitigation. The "psychotic episode" (your words) ended in like... mid-2021. Why is it all falling apart now?

We are mid-2022. Hospitals are still a mess worldwide, because _they are all still getting a sickness that knocks people on their feet for a couple of days to a week_. People whose bodies get hit by this end up being weaker and more susceptible to other issues. Seems pretty simple!
It's a strange state when YouTube videos of villagers in Africa building a mud hut or a guy in Asia building a fish tank taken with cheap cameras by amateur videographers are many times more entertaining then Hollywood blockbusters that cost 10's of millions to make.

Linear vs non-linear is a confusing terminology. Linearity is a relationship. Anyway, usually it means values are encoded in the sRGB color space (with sRGB primaries) without applying any "gamma" curve (also bad term).
