> In their examinations, Green and Williams found evidence that people other than Hunter Biden had accessed the drive and written files to it, both before and after the initial stories in the New York Post and long after the laptop itself had been turned over to the FBI.

> Maxey had alerted The Washington Post to this issue in advance, saying that others had accessed the data to examine its contents and make copies of files. But the lack of what experts call a “clean chain of custody” undermined Green’s and Williams’s ability to determine the authenticity of most of the drive’s contents.

Free software development and chat still largely happens over IRC: witness irc.gnome.org and libera chat.

As a 13 year old, if I had access to internet instead of buying Slackware floppies from local software "pirates" (they also had all the DOS stuff like Wordperfect and games), I'd probably be hanging around IRC.

I don't think there was much to be concerned about me back then.

>Meaning the file on the person running the page, that they already have.

Every site with accounts stores extra data that is tied to your account. The most common of which would be a password hash. From what I understood of what your talking about is that they store whether you have verified your identity as opposed to them trusting that you are who you say you are.
It’s definitely unsavory, but absolutely nothing compared to the conflicts of interest under Trump, ironically even in Ukraine. Remember the withheld US money used to blackmail for political dirt?
For now as far as I know, bots are not allowed to make edits to Wikipedia. This could only ever be used to make suggestions to a human editor. If Mark wanted to make targeted changes to Wikipedia, there would be easier ways to do it than this.

UK, ordered Mexican on Deliveroo from a new place, turned up.

QR code on the bag led to a Linktree that just linked 3 delivery services. No other internet presence. Drove past the address from Deliveroo on my way home and it was a row of shopfronts with iirc a delivery pizza restaurant as the only food there.

But the food was so good that my hosts have kept on ordering from there.

The title is kinda misleading. "[W]ith user's permission" probably should be "with user's action" instead.

By default, you can copy to clipboard in all the major browsers when user takes an action, like click some buttons or links. So all these "copy code" buttons won't stop working. What does not in Firefox (and shouldn't in Chrome) is to do so without user's action.

Note: I have no idea what the rigid definition of "user's action" is. But clicking a button counts.

With Mac OS the drivers are packaged in the OS itself. So older OSes may not have drivers for things like graphics on newr systems.

Efficiency is not the goal. Security and safety are. strlen() in kernel code on an (intentionally malicious) unterminated input has the potential to go off reading some other process's data, which opens up possible attack vectors, or the potential to cause unexpected page faults. strnlen() with one greater than the true buffer size, with the one extra memory read that it implies, has the same potential.

No.

Fame, Aspiration and attitudes towards those people are empirically measurable.

There were very few 'Anna Nicole Smiths' before 2000, it wasn't really until Paris Hilton who broke the mould and 'professionalized' the notion.

And nobody wanted to be Anna Nicole Smith, there was no aspirational aspect to her fame.
Pascal strings can be improved to support strings of any reasonable length.

Say two highest bits of the counter set the size of the counter field. 00 = 6 remaining bits, 01 = 14 bits (2 bytes), 10 = 30 bits, 11 = 62 bits (8 bytes).

A simple `counter* & 0x3f` would remove the width-setting bits, without any shifts, additions, etc.

This allows small strings to use only 1 byte for the counter, while allowing huge strings that span the entire RAM.
Huh, I’m fairly certain I counted boxes once upon a time and got to 54, but I just did again and you are totally right, there’s 46.

Though you could more than double it again by including all the variations I suppose.
In some places, the grid subsidizes it as they can then use it as demand response to make electricity cheaper for everyone.

In some places, it lets you directly use your own PV production.

In others it's just the extra convenience.
"user gesture" and "consent" are two completely different things.

Currently (until this bug) it’s supposed to trace back the call stack to the event that triggered it, and only allow it if the triggering event is something like a click. That’s what’s meant by “user gesture”, the opposite of code triggering it independently of the user.

“Consent” would be a positive acceptance in a browser controlled message box asking for permission to use the clipboard.

Most people agree that for copying to the clipboard the first is all that’s needed (there isn’t really a security concern here), for pasting from the clipboard the later is always required.
This is like the 4 or 5th time last pass has been hacked, or had a breach.

After a visit to Houten my wife and I are working out how to move to the Netherlands next year. Meanwhile, for this year we're just trying to figure out how to get our kids to school without buying a second car.

We should not have to be taxis to our kids. The entire world has gone utterly mad, making it impossible to get around without using gargantuan child-crushers that can only be operated by people in the middle years of their life, and there are only a few pockets of sanity now.

Right, just like the essence of a car and a horse-drawn carriage is the same: travel.

While we're at it, carrier pigeons and telegrams are essentially the same as text messaging (communication), and using the same logic leads us to conclude a bow and arrow is not so different from assault rifles (lethal weapons).

Come to think of it, it's pretty strange you can easily acquire a flare but not a grenade or nuclear bomb, they share the same essence after all (explosives)!

Point being that "sharing the same essence" doesn't preclude a "significant change" between the entities. It's a reductionist fallacy.
50 years down the road, and still arguing about strings
According to the article, thought to be only one, and in private ownership.
> This is equally true if FROM comes first since you have no idea if customer_name in your SELECT way at the end actually comes from a table directly, a subselect, calculation, etc.

When you get to the point where you see customer_name, you know what it came from because everything you read prior to that.

Imagine going into a shop to order three burgers and saying “the first one is without onion, the second is without onions and the third without picked, I’d like a big Mac, a quarter pounder and a hamburger please.” It’s just not the natural reading order.

> I would be interested in seeing what a complex WITH or subselect would look like if you're putting FROM first

The premis for this seems to be that your arguing that moving SELECT to the start of the query even though this isn’t he natural evaluation order nor reading order somehow helps to increase readability. But I don’t believe the there’s any reason to assume that. Just because it’s how things are currently and how you learned it doesn’t mean it’s better, it just means you’ve grown accostumed to it and therefore you feel it’s simpler. But everyone learning SQL from scratch who don’t initially learn actively that select isn’t applied in the order it’s written ends up making the same silly mistakes and being confused about the same things that would be obvious if we just put it where it actually belongs.
Well, how come? I can imagine a couple of reasons but I’d be curious to hear yours. Personally I order too often, it’s just so convenient.
It's expected. Your body adapts to constant use. Read about tolerance and resistance to drugs to see how this works.

I used to drink about 3 liters of tea, daily, for years. And I slept just fine. Then I stopped drinking tea. If I have tea now, which is very rare, even early in the morning, I know a sleepless night is what's going to happen.

Absolutely 100% agree with you on how the calibration could be done and that the methods seems sloppy. There are lots of implicit assumptions (but maybe the paper is less lacking for those people doing similar jobs).

The way I interpreted the pre-print:

- They optimized the capture for very fast moving objects (and large FOVs? Maybe using a spectrophotometer is not as straightforward as it seems)

- They are making estimates more than precise measurements, using error bars that are "good enough" for them, for the specific domain and taking into consideration the constraints given by the assumptions and the equipment. Not that I see those errors bars, though :D

- Now that I'm re-reading: ...Frames were recorded using the ser format with 14 and 16 bits... (ser is an astronomical file format)

- Paper's exposition could be better

- They are not building the JWST. They are doing something like lambertian reflectance when you are asking for global illumination. Let's wait for (the negative results of) NASA's study. I share your skepticism btw, not a believer.

Just saying that they are not using Photoshop. The paper is lacking in details though, that's uncontroversial.

Been a pleasure talking with you, have a nice day!
I have a very, very slow connection particularly for upload. Releasing a desktop "app" which wraps a website for video editing of all things... Feels like a spit in the face.

“Cost per square foot” to build doesn’t take into account land acquisition costs?

Some of the “economies of scale” the author is discussing accrue to whoever in the development partnership contributes land. If a piece of land can support the development of 250 apartments, it is worth a lot more than the same piece of land used for a few single family houses. But, per unit the land cost is still a lot lower for the apartments in a dense area than the single family houses in the sparse area. So it could be cheaper to build lots of apartments, but the owner of the land takes that potential savings as profit (often contributing the dollar value of the land into the dev partnership for a share of the project equity).

The other thing to consider is that multi-unit apartment buildings are exactly that: a multiplication of costs driven on a per-unit basis. Every unit needs a bathroom and kitchen, the most expensive part of any dwelling. Actually per square foot studios are the most expensive to build and larger apartments are cheaper. Airplane hangars are cheap per square foot.

Look at college dorms or Eastern Bloc communal apartments for an example of how resource-constrained institutions delivered inexpensive housing to large numbers of people while benefitting from economies of scale: amortize the high costs of the expensive parts of a building (kitchens, bathrooms) by sharing them between users who get private access to cheaper building features (bedrooms).

Final thing is that buildings are hard to manufacture off site because, well, to put it in stupid terms: they are very big and heavy, and you never really know whether something will work on site until it’s done on site. So each construction site is a purpose-built “building factory” for one building with all the affiliated capital costs, mobilization costs, etc. There is an economy of scale, but it’s in the manufacturing of things that laborers can work with - tools, standardized wood sizes and hardware, bricks, tiles, flooring, screws, nails, etc.
You've not explained how that differs from folding to the left. It's true than foldl cannot be used with infinite lists, as it will recurse infinitely, unlike foldr.

The point to emphasise is that neither foldl nor foldr will swap the ordering of the values in the list, which folding to the left might wrongly imply.

That is, if using fold with a function that is associative, foldl and foldr will give the same result, regardless of whether that function is commutative.

Wikipedia has a visualisation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)#A...

Drought threatens coal plant operations – and electricity – across the West
Hey everyone! Ali and Chris here. We’ve been living away from our families and supporting them remotely for over 16 years.

We are really excited to be launching Jhappi.Day (http://Jhappi.Day) - a subscription service for NRIs, overseas Pakistanis, and Bangladeshis to take care of their family back home.

We started Jhappi.Day because:

- It’s hard to support your parents while you’re far away: If they get sick, it’s hard to arrange the right appointments - and even harder to know the full outcome. If we were there, we’d help with running errands, but we can’t do that from abroad.

- It's hard to make sure that your family is not getting ripped off: Are they getting the best services for their money? Are they using the best discounts and deals available online?

- It's hard to transparently track if all relatives are contributing fairly to family finances: It becomes hard to have a single source of truth and nudge relatives or siblings when financial responsibility is not being equally shared.

The solution is a long distance family management service that gives you:

- Complete health tracking: A monthly visit from a Medical Doctor with detailed reports shared directly with you.

- 24/7 reliable errand support & tracking with best deals: Round-the-clock on-call support to help your family with any errands, including weekly grocery shopping and much more.

- Coordination of financial contributions: A simple dashboard to track all contributions and get a clear breakdown of all family expenses.

We are offering:

- Everybody who signs up today gets 1 month completely free.

- The first 250 people to book a call will be entered into a prize draw for a free return flight to a South Asian city of their choice.

We also launched today on Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jhappi-day-long-distance-s...

Would love to hear any thoughts and feedback on the product.
I wasn't old enough for a small Reddit/college exclusive Facebook so I don't feel too strongly about it.

However, I do agree that we don't have a true social platform (not a corp with other objectives).

We can bemoan this all we want but if they weren't doing it, someone else would've been.

Alternatives can be created over and over but as long as those are consumption-driven corporations, they will try extract every single second of our attention possible. That IS their business after-all.
AMP never limited you from doing all that; it's just the method that is tweaked.

In my experience if a publisher chooses to make their main website a trash fire, their AMP version is too.

Nothing stopping a publisher doing their website right. Even with advertising: manage inventory first-party, don't track users off-site, base your ads on content.
