there is a good chance you could try out other firmwares on your micropc. the win and win2 both had read/write capabilities via flashrom. i've done the backup/restore of the firmware on both.

the caveat is you stand a chance of soft bricking your device if you reboot after a failed write operation, or fully bricking your device if you didn't back up your firmware prior to a failed write.
There's nothing binary about the observation that unit test and TDD are different sets.
All of that is totally fine and not what people are upset about. If your entire app is just a web browser that renders your website, that should be fine too.

The problem is when they render external websites and unsuspecting users think they are using the phone's web browser. That is something Apple/Google can have rules about without banning/restricting web views.

I can’t understand how we allowed every industry to wholesale migrate to China and write off every manufacturing method and trade secret.

The answer both of our questions is of course money. Our version of capitalism is dominated by cult-like disciples of financial management principles.

If the US fucks with TikTok, well maybe they’ll mess with Office 365.

> Probably filippo should update this software to notice if the only identities presented were from FIDO authenticators and, if so, modify this message to explain the reduced risk

The you can store non-FIDO keys on a hardware PGP device, use them for SSH authentication via GPG, and configure GPG to always require the same kind of UP checks for access to that subkey on the PGP smartcard. This gives you those same protections but doesn't show up to the server as any special key type.

As with the FIDO-based keytypes, you can (mis)configure this so it doesn't require UP checks at all.
> How light actually behaves is probably beyond the ability of human cognition (since so much happens in a billionth of a second)

This is not remotely true. The behavior of light is very well understood and relatively simple to model compared to other, less linear physical processes.

Why do people feel the need to rob others? Yes, sure there are some tiny percentage of people with severe mental illness who enjoy seeing others in pain but that's not the majority. The majority is due to a lack of opportunity combined with systemic oppression.

The problem of workplace bullying putting a job at risk is a problem which is a power imbalance inherent to capitalism. Forming unions, where people speak up for each other and stick together, is the best way to solve that problem without fundamentally changing the system.

Well, it's gonna cost me many downvotes, but this needs to be said. CCP has a tight grip on many US officials. The two publicly known cases are Pelosi's son and Biden's son, who are prominent investors, board members even, in chinese companies. That's public knowledge, but I bet it's the tip of the iceberg.

on app store examples.. my chart CHmychart, trinityhealth...etc... recently had someone I know from the south move up north and the doctor could not see their prior info. Which would have and did save a lot of test from not being done over again. They even include current picture, which they did not have a year ago for annual physical. LabCorp performs blood test in their own facility and have the ability to change personal info if you approve w/ ID. not needing an individual of "management" to do so, this could allow easy manipulation of info.. and how many years of history does each doctor need to see or allowed to see, how do patients get control over this? 3 years, 5 yrs, 10 + back... and since different hospitals used different software St. Jude hospital records dont show up on the EHR which shows all City hospitals. insurance needs to find a new EHR system advantages as soon as S.S info input by doctors, not sure how it pans out with countries without S.S numbers (have multiple ID's)
Many smart, credentialed people are no savvier when it comes to anything involving math than a random yokel in West Virginia. They literally turn their brains off if numbers or statistics comes up.

I mean, the people who wrote and edited this article have college degrees! From good schools probably—it’s hard to get jobs at the New York Times!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the assertion in the article was correct! Home appraisal seems like an obvious area where bias could creep in. But the article doesn’t change the odds ratio of that conjecture being correct at all.
I love this form factor so much. I'd kill for a Vaio P with an M1 chip inside.
To be honest I think this is a very bad example to demonstrate that point. Nothing is proven here except that two different appraisals from two different companies/people months apart came up with wildly different numbers. Is it possible racism played a factor? Maybe, but who can tell? Maybe the first guy was just a hack, or was having a bad day, or just made some mistake, or ... I don't know. The article itself mentions (at the end) that appraisals in general are a shitshow with wildly differing figures.

People do a bad job all the time, and people are assholes all the time. This is what makes the entire thing so tricky: if we could clearly identify what is or isn't racism then we could simply investigate allegations, fine people, and the problem would be solved in a year. But we can't; all we can do is do some sort of broad study and say that in general there may be some racism at play, and even doing that well is hard because there's loads of factors to control for.

If he had done ten of these appraisals and the "black family" ones consistently came out lower than the "white family" ones then yeah, that's pretty clear-cut. But two? It doesn't prove anything.
It may not be possible to meaningfully answer this question in this case.

If we're talking about something like fluorescence, there's a fairy clear point where one photon disappears and another appears.

In a linear process like this, photons are not really absorbed by the material. In fact, the quantum behavior of photons is not relevant to the process, so you can just treat it purely as a wave phenomenon.

In cases like this, I would generally say that it is the "same" photon, but again, not really appropriate to think in terms of photons when there is nothing about the process that depends on quantization.

I got one too and reported it as well. I called the number in the email wondering, trying to figure out scam or legit account compromised. The person who answered initially started saying answer as some other company, debt collection I believe, then corrected to PayPal. To resolve it and report the claim he asked what operating system and browser I used and instructed me to download a Remote Desktop app, which I found fishy and tipped me off it’s definitely phishing. I didn’t say much while I searched the number/figured out if it was common and the guy on the phone got angry yelling “hello??” Several times. I hung up and they called back twice.

I wish I kept the number to call them back and piss them off. Scammers/phishers are soulless entities of this earth.

Modern technical fabrics are amazing things.

In particular DCF (Dyneema Composite Fabric) is a miracle of modern material science. Dyneema is stronger than Kevlar and is famous for allegedly breaking the anchor cable testing machine when being strain tested for use for mooring cargo ships.

But it's really interesting for these types of applications because it is super abrasion resistant (perfect for backpacking gear) so you can make super light, super tough things from it.

Everytime similar discussions come up on HN someone links to https://ripstopbytheroll.com/ so I'll just do that now.
I doubt that they'd have to. I'm sure their tos says "you absolutely have no expectation of privacy and you give us eternal rights to everything you do in this app in order to operate and improve this app" just like everyone else's does.
I think it's possible to have large scale industrial agriculture while still not being needless cruel to the animals you raise. It just requires people at those corporations to give up a little bit of their profits instead of giving up their humanity
Free electrons also emit blackbody radiation. Photon quantization has nothing to do with the energy levels of atoms. It is a very fundamental property of the universe - you can tell because the only relevant constant is planck's constant.

Oh yeah, I think I might agree for the most part. The RNC and general party platform is very often not reflective of the people who vote Republican, and I can't yet figure out why that is (other than simple contrarianism). I don't think the official platform is so black and white as to be entirely disconnected from the voters, but i get it.

Your point about the cognitive dissonance in the "censorship" thing is very salient. I wasn't sure how to word it properly, so I threw "pseudo" on there to hedge it a little. I don't think I was being disingenuous, though; once you take at face value the de facto nature of social media being a (not the) primary method of information dissemination and conversation of the lesser man, the whole public/private thing becomes more academic. Yes, private companies can do what they want. No, I don't like being removed from them. Yes, I think that they should not be so heavy handed with removing opinion. No, I don't think any legislation is appropriate to remedy that concern. And so on. Nuance, you know? Which is what the original poster was saying Republicans don't have (along with ability to reason out consequences).

I dunno man, I just want to try to get "the other side" to realize we ain't all cardboard caricatures.

Probably difficult to distinguish the groups. Phoenician is a Canaanite language closely related to Hebrew. But the point is the area traded hands with almost every major civilization through many epochs.
This classical mechanics explanation works here because the process is linear. In a linear process, you can ignore photon quantization.
I always thought GNUstep was cool and deserved more development and use.
Easier to think about the polarizer's effect on a non-quantum EM wave, and then understand that our probability of observing a photon is based on the magnitude of the resultant EM wave.
Yeah they tend to have no variable window size support.

> TikTok is a short video app used mostly by younger generations. It produces highly accurate recommendations for videos to watch. We're not talking about something like a banking app, a healthcare app, or even a messaging app. It's a video-based social network. There are bigger fish to fry than TikTok in almost every single possible category of app. Yet, TikTok is always brought up because it's from China.

If the leaders in the West weren't concerned about the "average Joe" and their (mis)understandings of politics and situations with complex nuances, then the West would likely be a true Democracy (like ancient Athens, where the People vote on issues such as War and Taxes) instead of a Republic or Democratic Republic (where the People elect a small group to vote on their behalf).

Regardless, I think our Western leaders SHOULD be concerned with the "average Joe" mentality. That includes, by a wide margin, propaganda efforts by other nations.

There are _far less_ antisocial practices featured on Chinese TikTok than on Western (specifically American) TikTok. However, the comparison to Instagram and Facebook doesn't differ all that much, so maybe they're simply giving us the content we want.
Streaming outperforms both cable and broadcast TV for the first time ever
So, I see this bandied about a lot, but I don't see the big deal in being spied on by a government that has 0 say in my entire hemisphere? Like, I have much bigger concerns about spying done on behalf of the five eyes alliance than China (obviously this would be the opposite if I was living in China). What are they going to do with my silly viewing habits, sell my data to advertisers? Well, same deal with youtube, google, fb, insta, whatsapp, etc. I'm not saying you are coming at this from a nationalistic point of view but I get that vibe from the ease of which tiktok is disdained on HN.

And on the merits, it is unhealthy like all social media, but it still feels so much more fun and worthwhile than facebook or insta where everything feels like a competition to have the best life. So much of Tiktok still feels like vine 2.0
You're surprised?

I agree completely! I always joke that the block and chain part of "blockchain" are boring: that's basically git! The cool part is byzantine consensus!

But like I said, I also think that as a class of problems — byzantine consensus is just super different from the normal consensus problems paxos and raft are addressing. Way more than they might seem at first. Enough to be an off-topic to the point of just being naive or misleading.
Crap is obviously too broad since Metallica and Pantera would also fit under it.
So, what would be the difference between us and them? There is a reason why our governance is better than them.

Also, if you don't know facebook, instagram also have same issue as tiktok. Maybe government should enforce privacy requirement for all apps including facebook and instagram instead of blanket banning Chinese apps.
In fact, that‘s pretty much the first page of Turbotax as it is.
You can not actually buy property in China, you can only lease it for a number of years, and it will always be held by the government of China (you can easily search this on the web). And after some number of years, it'll go back to them, and you'll have nothing.
Ouch those are some pretty heavy allegations. What ever happened I hope the truth comes out and justice is served.

Are you sure about that? Everything I can find says that the M1 Pro and M1 Max do use the same cores as the M1, which are not based on the ones in the A15.
Amusingly, TikTok isn't available in China - only DouYin, which is similar but separate.

I'm not 100% sure on this at this point, but I think if Facebook/Google/etc were willing to do the same they would be allowed in China too, but as it stands they can't/won't comply with Chinese law (I may be mistaken on this, haven't read up on the topic in quite some time)
All of this blog's posts are elegant, well-researched, and fun — I'm a big fan. It's amazing what sorts of functionality he squeezes out of 8-bit and other small microcontrollers.
Depends on what you want a career in I guess, and whether you're extroverted or introverted. I would think that a sales/marketing job or a desire for management would require in-office team sports. However, an IT position would require technical chops and deliverables rather than how well one schmoozes. Different strokes.
I've read a lot of the source material for nuclear winter. My conclusions are that it's very unrealistic. The assumptions it depends on are extremely slanted and have not been observed anywhere I can find. It's pretty baseless.

There is a lot of ignorance and emotion clouding reality and reason in this space.
> Assuming he's male, physical peak is near 26,

My measurable physical stats are much better than they were at 26. Yes I notice junk food a little sooner and can't handle as much alcohol. But I can run a marathon faster, do better in the boxing ring, and can lift more weight with higher volume.

The main physical drawback that I can see are slower reflexes. That comes out in the boxing ring when going against people 10+ years younger.

> intellectual peak early to mid 20s.

Depends what kind of intellectual peak you measure. My focus is better and more intense. My ability to learn new stuff has greatly increased because I have a bigger vaster framework to hang new knowledge onto.

And I am infinitely better at solving difficult problems in a dumb easy way because I no longer care about showing off how smart I am. This not only makes my solutions easier to build, they're also easier to maintain so future me will have less work to do.

What I'm probably less good at these days is waxing poetically about the sort of very deep thoughts that feel deep to a 25 year old. And pointless brain twisty puzzles that I was never good at anyway.

I'd say these days, intellectually speaking, I'm more of a reliable orc that plows through problems with brute force, than an elf fleeting about using dexterity.
And yet nobody has yet succeeded in creating a type system that is usable for representing all but the simplest constraints.
AFAIU, the sale of printed manuals was one of the earliest income streams in the Free Software/open source community, and for GNU/FSF in particular. O'Reilly and maybe some of its contributing authors (some of whom were project maintainers or contributors) made appreciable money selling printed documentation. But calling any of those examples a "business model" for open source development is a stretch.

The sale of support, OTOH, absolutely was an early business model. See, e.g., Cygnus Solutions, Red Hat, etc. And today many project maintainers make money in a similar manner, through contracts or outright full-time employment related to feature development and integration. But this happens just as often in BSD land as Linux land.
They did that in Windows 11?

>Neither would Russia.

Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram worked pretty well here, to the point where almost every teenager has an Instagram account, so I think this is proven to be false. The only reason Instagram is banned now is because of the ability to use it to spread pro-Western propaganda instead of pro-Russian one.

Okta still does that same trick on their login screens. Since I have several Okta logins, there's no way I would be able to remember which of the 9(?) icons matched with which domain, so I hear you about them being useless. I would be able to spot one of the "wrong" ones, as there are a class of those icons that I would never choose so ... security? :-/

Freedom of speech has two associated actions - speaking and listening - each with the same aspects of freedom - whether, when and to whom to speak/listen.

For example, we normally think about the opposite of free speech as speech being suppressed, but being made to speak, to people you don't wish to speak to, at a time that is not of your choosing, none of that is freedom of speech even though you expressed your thoughts.

Hence, there is no freedom of speech without privacy. That's why it often gets wrapped up in the, in my view far better, phrase freedom of expression.

Amusingly, old graphics hardware was often quad-based because their past iterations were 2d sprite hardware, and that's what their designers knew best.

The "correct" thing to do is follow the top-left rule for rasterizing triangles. This causes the pixels of a mesh to only be rendered once and you won't get seams.
