It certainly set off my alarm bells for people who try to do pointless blockchain stuff for personal profit (or I guess fun and street-cred/CV-lines).

That doesn't mean it has to be the case here. But at first glance a DOA seems more like a detriment here (police can outspend citizens) and NFTs are NFTs, no explanation needed I suspect. Suggestion 3 might have merit, but storing the data in the blockchain (instead of just some hashes for timestamping) makes it look like some overambitious vanity project again.
It is hopeless to disable javascript. However, I want to have a middle ground: Disable the ability of javascript to make network calls. From privacy's perspective, it should be as good as javascript disabled. With local only javascript, the bit of interactivity that we took for granted can still be achieved.

That is cool! They don't receive a ton of attention, but other games do get into some fun stuff with music too. One such game is NieR: Automata. They built a pretty remarkable tone filter that seamlessly turns the playing music into an 8-bit equivalent via digital processing when the player starts hacking:
https://www.platinumgames.com/official-blog/article/9581

A more common thing you'll see are games that have dynamic battle music, which will add or remove elements from the soundtrack as the player encounters combat, encounters a boss, or leaves combat.

I'm not aware of other games that have nice little leitmotifs for so many scenes, though. That's great.

What are you talking about? OP's account is from August 19 2011...
Just one I found quickly:

> If you are a multi billion dollar company and are concerned about log4j, why not just email OSS authors you never paid anything and demand a response for free within 24 hours with lots of info? (company name redacted for my peace of mind)

https://twitter.com/bagder/status/1484672924036616195

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/24/logj4-security-inquir...

Maybe "Stamping their feet" is a bit hyperbolic for this case, but it demonstrates the cultural mismatch very well: The email assumes the Log4J package comes from the "Log4J Company" such that a business requesting the results of an internal audit would be met with something other than an annoyed FOSS developer Tweeting about this clueless moo sending a form email to a random programmer they have no prior relationship with.

As Daniel himself says in the follow-up Tweet:

> I replied saying I'd be happy to answer all the questions as soon as we have a support contract.

There was, deep inside the company, an internal process which blindly assumed a contract would be present, and acted accordingly.
that's worse imo
[This is Julia, Eric’s cofounder] We have filled out multiple counter-notices. The first attempt was the recommended action in Google’s initial takedown notice: send an email to dmca-agent@google.com with specific reference to the ticket number (2-1881000033144). I wrote a lengthy response explaining why the claims were unfounded in most cases.

After a few days, they got back to us saying actually we needed to file a counter notice form, which involves pasting the URLs one by one into a web form with an explanation for why the page did not violate copyright. So Eric and I split up the URLs and did that, one by one, for 317 URLs

We filed the counter-notice on Thursday. As of the time of this comment (Monday afternoon), we have not heard back, and our pages have not been reinstated
I don't see how software security relates to being able to repair hardware -- third party logic boards would most likely... not exist, for example.
What lies beneath the NFT market is not much different than what lies beneath the traditional high-end art market: scarce objects made by artists and creatives, and there are some who want to collect these objects. It’s short-sighted to think that only physical work can have artistic merit and be valued by an art market.

> And despite the openness of it only a minority of users have an active role in determining policy, just like in any large nominally-democratic structure.

To be expected - same with open source software like Blender and VLC, not all users of it are also developers, but we all benefit from its openness and can create new forks of the software over time, if necessary. It also spans borders - making governance far more accessible worldwide than the monetary policies of state-backed dollars.
In some ways it is too little, too late. There was a plethora of vector animators that probably could have moved over to animate, if it had existed back then. But it didn’t. So they moved into video as the YouTube era took hold.

A case eventually making its way to a judge isn't really a counter-argument to how much power police have.

Things like asset forfeiture, qualified immunity, etc. are all pretty strong arguments that police have too much power. Not to mention all of the cases where someone innocent is killed by police, where the victim doesn't get to go in front of a judge because they are dead.
> Replayable records your screen LOCALLY in the background while you work (and yes, it’s performant). Whenever you encounter a bug, just hit the hotkey or press the “create clip” button and you’ll get a video of whatever happened in the last 30 minutes.

Thank you but no. I could imagine this being reasonable if confined to just one browser or something, but my need for sharing the past 3 days of my desktop video is zero

However, in the spirit of being constructive: speaking of my desktop, I currently run 3 4K monitors, two in portrait mode and the last is actually the on-board display of the laptop and thus is in landscape. If your product intends to record video, you'll want to consider a setup like that when planning your features
> Most people who sign up to races are not regular runners

[citation sorely needed]

Yes, some non-regular-runners sign up for a charity 5K, but as I already said that's much less true for a 10K. "Most" is a drastic overstatement.

> In races where most people run

i.e. where most people fit the definition of "well conditioned athlete"

> I expect ~40% of the men to run under 45 minutes

i.e. 45:00 is still below median. Even by your own shifty definitions, you're refuting your own point.
It's not really any different for Firefox though is it? In fact it's not really any different for any big open source project. Someone ultimately has the power to decide what features to develop and nothing forces them to listen to their users.

Look at things like Firefox's Pocket integration, or like all of Gnome.
> You can't fault the author if you use it in an environment they didn't have, or didn't intend it to be used in, or in a manner that wasn't intended.

It goes even farther than that: you can’t fault the author even if you did use it in the intended manner.
It'd be cool to take this a step further - allow for a tree-like setup of as many calculators as you want. Each number in one calculator's equation could be expanded out into a separate calculator where the number was computed, etc.

I know, right? Meetup.com pretty much turned into OnlineOnly.com. After going online during the pandemic, my meetup members showed no interest in IRL meetups again after things calmed down, so I basically gave up figuring it's a sign of the times.
The post's definition of 'supply chain' is wrong, and it leads to confusion. If I forage for mushrooms and give them to a local chef, I'm part of the supply chain for that night's dinner, even without money changing hands or quality guarantees.

That said, to opt out of companies' supply chains, stop publishing software with permissive licenses.

Yeah, this is a really weird and unreliable method for killing the flash. I would be more inclined to go the route of super high voltage.

> Encrypt the bulk flash memory, store the key in supercap backed SRAM, and then zero out and short the RAM when triggered.

Probably the easiest method for sure is a decryption key. Older style flash could also be erased using UV, but it seems like this is now not the case.

I'm not entirely sure about using moisture as a method for ensuring the USB device is interacted with in a certain way. I would probably consider some other options:

* A few holes with light sensors that check for a binary code as the stick is inserted.

* A covert fingerprint sensor.

* DIP switches that are somewhat hidden. Perhaps on first entry an LED flashes, and you must set the switches in response to the sequence. In this case somebody could watch you do it and still not understand what they must do.

* Perhaps even something as simple as unplugging it and plugging it in several times.

All of these seem somewhat more reliable that the resistance you happen to create when licking you fingers, and are harder to replicate.

As you say, having it so that just the encryption code is lost means that you could recover the device by loading in the correct key again.
I land in a bit of a weird spot on this topic. Personally, I loathe using subtitles or CC because switching between trying to watch what's happening in the scene and quickly reading the text at the bottom of the screen over and over throughout a show or film leaves me feeling like I can't relax and enjoy it, even when I can hear what's happening just fine.

On the other hand, unfortunately, as many others have said - modern audio mixes almost force subtitles to be turned on, making it a 'necessary evil'.
Last time I link to my project, I promise. I think it really applies in this case.

'Serial' was the podcast that launched all podcasts. It was the defining podcast. It isn't that it was hyper monetized or incredibly financially successful; simply it showed that the audience was there.

It has over 340 million listens as of 2018. With this eviction of conviction, I suspect that number will be over a billion.

It is fitting that it has come full circle and fulfilled the ultimate purpose of investigative journalism: to shine a light on a small part of the world that otherwise would be ignored... and maybe right a wrong.

> The PS5 has about an order of magnitude more processing power than the base PS4 and Moore's law states that computing power doubles every two years, which means it gains an order of magnitude every 6 or 7 years

That's not what moore's law is. Moore's law says that TRANSISTOR COUNT will double every 2 years.

> Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit (IC) doubles about every two years

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law

Back to the ps4 and ps5:

> Each of the PS5’s CUs has roughly 60 percent more transistors

- https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/ps4-vs-ps5/

From the same page, the original PS4 had 18 CUs, the PS5 has 36 CUs.

So if the PS4's transistor count is (n x 18), the PS5's transistor count is (n x 38 x 1/0.6) = (n x 63.3333) - which is only 3.5x

If moore's law had held you'd expect a multiple of 8 or 16, not 3.5.

Moore's law is dead, and the new console generation proves it.
The whatabout-ism regarding American companies doing similar stuff can be explained by that great quote, “in the United States the journalists are so powerful they can throw politicians in jail, in China the politicians are so powerful they can throw journalists in jail.”

The CCP is getting this data, and they have significantly more carte blanche to do nefarious things than US government officials do.
Yeah, I'm glad you went this route.

When I finished the podcast I was not at all convinced of his innocence. For me was 50/50 or even 60/40 against innocence. Just my takeaway/opinion of course..

EDIT However, reading both of the AP News articles on this now, it does serve to sway me more toward his innocence. Crazy that the prosecutors withheld this at that time.. Par for the course unfortunately I guess.

Seems as though the SA office is trying to do the right thing now, and appears they will continue investigating, and hopefully if appropriate, may deem that the next best step is to drop his case fully and prosecute the other now-uncovered suspects.

This is actually a good thing. Let me explain.

If there is a market for domestic video-based social networks, then it should be low-hanging fruit for a US-based provider to offer a competitive product. If there isn't then the market has spoken, and consumers have voted with their attention.

There aren't any other interpretations that don't deprive the invisible hand of the market from delivering providence to consumers. These are rational actors making voluntary choices. Foreign policy should simply stay out as any intervention is necessarily a market distortion. If market actors are consuming it, it's good definitionally.
You don't - you use your network to find a hiring manager working on something you're interested in, and talk to them. At that point, HR is a formality.
I'm sure you realize it's not that easy to "build your own" (for whatever tech, social network, internet, computers, etc). You don't have a head start and there are powerful forces working against you, both internal and external.

I'm not disputing that other countries are more egalitarian than the US, and it's more comfortable to be poor in countries like Norway or New Zealand (ranked higher on the IHDI) than the US. But I'm willing to bet that almost all, if not all, of the countries higher than the US on IHDI are net immigrants to the US. This data is surprisingly hard to find, but the couple that I did manage find (Ireland, France) supported my viewpoint. If anyone has a table of net migration by country pair, it would be marvellous.

So clearly something is still drawing people to the US, even from countries that are more egalitarian than the US.

This "planetary pressure-adjusted HDI" thing sounds completely made up ;-) but by your same logic, if the US is doing poorly by virtue of it being ranked around Ukraine, then apparently Luxembourg is truly awful, ranked 153rd around the likes of Afghanistan and DR Congo. And I'm sure only very few people would choose to live in Ukraine, Azerbaijan, or Saudi Arabia over the US, given the same relative impact on the planet; in fact, when it comes to people's own lives, practically everyone chooses (metaphorically) "drill, baby, drill!".

It's not misleading, you just read too much into it. It's like quibbling with an analogy about "Alice and Bob" because your name isn't Alice or Bob.

> Maybe check your internal biases on why you chose one which includes murderous intent.

If someone is making an analogy about threats in general, it's silly to expect them to find a different a threat that's different but also exactly the same as the one being discussed. Analogies are used to highlight a particular aspect, and usually that means picking something that is different but very clearly highlights that particular aspect.

Again, to spell it out, very, very clearly: a gun is an easily understood threat that almost everyone understands can be held by different people. It is a good object for illustrating how a threat changes based on who "holds" it.
It would be like 50% thicker, it's not an insignificant size difference.
