Because you are unable to verify what the google play service binary is doing. It could potentially bypass any security built in to the app and allow google to read your messages.

And the answer to their question is that it depends on your threat model and the amount of risk you are willing to accept. There is no such thing as perfect security or a perfectly validated platform. At some point you have to accept good enough and get on with your life.
In the US, they are a niche at 0.2% of the population. Vegans are an order of magnitude larger at 2%.

They are a vulnerable niche, but a niche nonetheless.
Which he obviously isn't; Le Roux was nothing more than a crime boss, thought to be more technically adept than what a sober look at things would suggest (E4M's source code was stolen from his earlier employer).
I would say that was my experience as well. It actually took me a while to understand why I would use classes and objects.
You could tattoo your recovery code somewhere on your body perhaps? And the re enter it in your 2fa app. Not ideal but unloseable.
If you chew through the numbers you just posted, you will find that imports from out of state are increasing year over year.

Hence, my statement "they almost exclusively purchase power from other states at sub-optimal rates for any new power demand"
Isn't 50GB sec like 5 NVMe Gen 5 SSDs + 1 or 2 for redundancy?

Actually, you are right. Consumer SSDs I've seen only do about 1.5GB/s sustained.
We're well into the post-truth era at this point, so this doesn't really change anything.
Instead of investing $2000+ in BTC in 2012, I decided to pre-order a miner. It arrived a year late, and it sat in the box for another year. When I finally got around to setting it up, it mined for about 6 days and overheated.
Control of group membership in Matrix is control of key distribution. That's generally how group secure messaging works. The vulnerabilities didn't allow unauthorized group messengers to "steal" keys; it added unauthorized members to groups, which causes authorized group members to negotiate key relationships with them.
Right. So I started digging into some RFCs recently as they seemed relevant to lower-level networking topics that I wanted to have a clearer understanding of. I agree that it's probably a circuitous path to understanding these area, at least in most cases.

Anyhow, I'm back in the mood of wanting to have a firmer grasp on "lower" level area, including the ones you mentioned. Years ago, I did this by checking out (in no particular order)

- TCPIP Illustrated

- Essentials of Compilation

- Computer Networking A Top-Down Approach

...and many more.

Do you have any thoughts on what a good course of study might be for someone who's a high-level programmer wanting to get a good general understanding of the areas you mentioned? Any books, resources, courses you'd recommend?
Pretty sure it gets you most of the way there by simply putting a mutable magnet URI in DHT. The rest is just a clever way of reusing already downloaded blocks.
Not op, but…:

- Multiple C-suite executives and board members get caught up in a Jeffrey Epstein level underage sex and sex trafficking ordeal. They resist when busted, and it becomes a spectacle. The evidence is just messy enough and the group is just tight-lipped enough that the legal parts of the case take a long time. In the mean time, Twitter loses users who voice their objection via not giving Twitter its attention and moves on to an up-and-coming competitor.

- The US elects a group of politicians who have authoritarian leanings (note that these could be extremists from either side of the politic spectrum, imho). This group of people lose power in legitimate elections. Via various levels of chicanery that revolve around undermining the spirit if not the law around the US election system, this group makes it so that they are able remain in power. Once they’ve started down that slippery slope, they just rewrite the laws so that they stay in power permanently. This group clamps down on free speech. The powers that be at Twitter object. A puppet leader loyal to the leading party is installed in order to manage Twitter out of existence, with a state-controlled competitor being supported in its place.

- The US is successfully overtaken in war by another country. The powers that be at Twitter allow for speech against the occupiers. Twitter is shut down.

- Twitter is found to have facilitated genocide in a foreign country (e.g., Myanmar), and the public revolts. To be honest, this will probably be overlooked, but I thought I would put it here as a thought exercise.

Part of the problem with hypothetical black swan events is that they seem entirely impossible… until they happen. That’s why they are black swan events.

You should write a book or a podcast about your addiction.
Can you get your university to buy some servers for unrelated reasons and have them rent them to you?
Music, nursing, game development, animation, art, school teaching are all highly-skilled professions. They aren't particularly highly-paid.

We should maybe talk about high-supply and low-supply skills instead.
In my own experience, and based on what it I've observed, it's all about demand and supply.

I have been hired for jobs even though I said "I do not have any experience doing this."

If you're switching, switch to something that there's enough demand for that the chance you need a safety net is shall.

We're pretty good at getting the temporarily homeless into housing. Obviously any improvements are good, but fundamentally the issue is with the chronically homeless who often have other factors going on.

I remember when someone like that made a Covid app to show your vaccination status faster and cheaper than Alberta could and the media made him out to be such a hero. One of the hockey teams even required fans to install it to be admitted to the arena.

Well the app consisted of users uploading ID and record of vaccination, then without any check, putting a check mark or something on the screen. All of the uploads were stored in a US server and publicly accessible.

But nothing beats the hero in Ontario that made according to local news stations made fool out of the local government by building stairs in a park for $550 when it was going to cost an outrageous $65k (in the end $10k I think). I think about these stairs[1] whenever someone without experience claims they can make things cheaper.

Horsehockey. Wikipedia cannot be cited because it is not a static resource. Occasionally, its citations can be cited. But generally, if you have ever tried to actually follow those citations, you will frequently discover that the authors and editors of the page are full of shit, and you will see why professionals tend to issue the blanket recommendation to avoid ever using it for anything.

Minute for minute, research time is better spent on a real resource than it is spent trying to sift something useful from the trillion page shit-vault that is Wikipedia.

Newspapers and textbooks aren't serious sources either, which is why academic research manuals usually forbid their usage except in some specific circumstances (such as using them as primary sources, for illustrative purposes, as evidence of what media reported at the time, etc.).
This is a case for approval over score voting. It's not a good case for RCV over approval!

Anyone can just pay $6/month to the good folks at masto.host to manage one for them. It's enough for them and possibly a few friends. I don't know if there are any other managed Mastodon companies, but this one has been around for years and has a good reputation. Their managed instances also meet the joinmastodon.org listing requirements by default.
It is shared if it the people reached it through the same memes, and took a similar conclusion. Time isn't relevant.

They're both scarce in the same way.
This is something new? When I was in high school back in 2004, we were already told to not use Wikipedia as a source. What most of us would do instead was use the references section to find resources. (Or if we were being lazy, we'd just go by what Wikipedia said and then copy its relevant citations)
Is the current Russo-Ukrainian war about ideology or about land? With the same facts, you could analyze it as both. Arguing for land, it's clear that Russia wants control of Ukrainian land, not least Crimea (which hosts Russia's main Black Sea naval base), but also as much of Ukraine it can get its hands on (see the recent decision to annex every oblast Russia was occupying). But you could also argue that it's about ideology: resisting NATO encroachment on Russia, or Russia's denial of the existence of Ukrainians who aren't "really" Russians, or general east-versus-west/democracy-versus-autocracy/etc. ideologies.

This is about a war that is currently ongoing, where even lay people are likely to be cognizant of the various causes and theories of the war. Applying this same analysis for wars that happened 500 years ago is more difficult, especially since knowledge of the particulars is likely to be filtered via people who favor one theory over another.

FWIW, I'm generally in the camp that most wars are waged for the primary purpose of controlling more land, with the reason for doing so largely boiling down to some form of "naked territorial aggression"--including the current Russo-Ukrainian War as well as recent conflicts like the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.
In Germany, the US made use of low-ranking Nazis during rebuilding, and in Japan they left the institutions around the Emperor intact. IIUC, doing things this way was considered the least-bad option in order to support US anti-communist policy.
> They'll likely ending up repeating the same mistakes at 13 that they're cohorts learned from at 5. All you're doing is delaying the inevitable.

To add to that, younger kids are much more “teachable” than teens. Young kids want to be guided and soak up information like a sieve, particularly through imitation. Teens want to strike out on their own and discover things for themselves. They overestimate their ability and underestimate risk.

It’s much more dangerous to be an uneducated “sneaking out” teen on the Internet than an uneducated and monitored younger child.
The germans would execute the children of draft dodgers? Really?
What a great article. Perfectly walks through the current social crisis of ennui and stupidity. The one thing that it didn't seem to mention is a physiological-chemical basis for all the enjoyment. Ever wonder why every video of some guy cooking an egg or screwing in a light bulb screams at you about how "satisfying" it is? This lack of some satisfaction, no doubt caused by some mechanisms of addiction, is clearly at play in this video game reality show.
I personally suspect more people are harmed by self help books etc than helped. Which circles back to the kind of advice I would give someone.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of assuming reading advice is inherently beneficial but it needs to result in some net positive behaviors or it’s just wasting time, money, and mental effort.
I don't think changing Gmail to meet the needs of the homeless, at the risk of everyone else's security, makes any sense. Instead there should be a different email service that the homeless use, perhaps government provided if there's no business model in it.
I know how it feels. Ive wasted my career missing good opportunities due to fear (and also missed many bad opportunities thanks to fear :) ). Assuming you dont have responsibilities like mortgage etc and fear is the only factor in your way - How would you feel about asking this same question in 10 years time when you are 53?

By the way 10k hours is consistently spending 3 hours a day for 10 years. So you could spend the next 10 years practising and then switch - but that kind of all-or-nothing means you could have missed the boat for what it is you are trying to get mastery on.
Google's 2FA is dreadful. 2FA is a good idea when it's added with consent, but Google adds it behind your back in ways that are both infuriating and brain-dead.

I've been caught out recently twice: once I was away on work and had to access my email. Google demanded that I verify it using my phone that I'd previously accessed my work email with. However, this phone was just a phone I use for development, had never had a sim card inserted, and was on my desk at home. I hadn't agreed that it should be used for 2FA. It was tremendously inconvenient because I needed to find where my hotel was.

Another time recently I managed to destroy my phone in an accident and got the phone replaced. Despite taking the sim card from the old phone and putting it in the new one, doing a factory reset on the old one, and it not being active for a week, Google still demanded I 2FA authenticate on the old one.

I feel these problems could have easily been avoided, but it's typical latter-day Google experience: a tin ear for the customer experience and a general attitude of automation knows better than users.

While your point about numerical stability is correct in general, there are no numerical stability issues here and I think this conception, which I've seen in more than one place now, stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the paper's results. While they _did_ come up with a faster TPU/GPU algorithm too, the primary result is not a fast matmul approximation, it is an exact algorithm comprising of stepwise addition/multiplication operations, and hence is numerically stable and should work for any ring (https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/ring). AlphaTensor itself does not do the matrix multiplication, it was used to perform an (efficiently pruned) tree search over the space of operations to find an efficient, stable algorithm.
Modules degrade in production really slowly (<1% per year) and are often used for 40 years. They're generally replaced quicly if they break due to manufacturing defects or impact damage (hail, tree branches etc.). A lot of the recycling of solar panels is for panels that are a decade or two old but in perfectly good condition. What's happening is that new modules have increased 30-40% in efficiency over the same time frame that the old modules have decreased by 10-15%.
So its cost effective to upgrade them in certain cases - generally where the utility will allow it.

The other factor here is that many agreements between a solar power and a utility that buys the power only have 20 year terms. Generally, there's a strong incentive to renegotiate at the end of the term, but frankly, that renegotiation is kind of a mess in practice. It depends on the policies of the state, the utility's interests, the ISO market, etc. as to how that ends up working. Every solar farm is working in at least five overlapping regulatory environments - local, state, utility/retailer domain, the ISO or regional grid, and the federal regulatory environment. Decentralization is nice in theory, but definitely makes it difficult to scale the widespread change that's required right now.
As I said, it might be impractical in a society where alcohol use and abuse is deeply ingrained in the culture. It works just fine in for example Muslim countries where there are social taboos to back up the law.

My point is that, even if alcohol prohibition is impractical in a western country, that’s not a reason to normalize and legalize a new and different vice.
I miss Tom.
None of your links support the claim that these discs could damage your loudspeakers. That's the mythical part.

The final stage in digital-to-analog conversion is a reconstruction filter that removes the non-sonic contents of the output. There's nothing you can put on a CD that will destroy your loudspeakers.
There's a very stupid bug with Transmission: when you switch between a local or a remote daemon the UI to download new torrents doesn't update the destination path and it will sometimes (being charitable, happens all the time to me) pick up the destination path from the other daemon setting thus recreating the default transmission download folder or the mounted path to an external HDD plugged to your PI running the transmission daemon.

/media/pi/WD\ Elements on your user@local machin instead of ~/download/torrents.

I hope it's fixed.
Users should understand how to use their computer. Asking users to comprehend a firewall or a vpn (if using a vpn) is not unreasonable.

Coddling users is harmful.
I am pretty sure they were - I was too young at the time to do it. Though not a bad idea to do it now and see where it leads to!
The argument I hear in favour of this practice by messaging apps is that, this design helps your friends find you easily by your number.

But I agree with you, asking for the phone number and telling me this app is secure is ridiculous. Let me register with something less intrusive, if I want to go the phone number way, then let me use that. Give me an option.
Germany and US Play Out Scenarios of a Nuclear Strike by Russia
They should also convert the sprites to HD with AI, like Nvidia's RTX Remix does. That could potentially look really good. Maybe even do some tweening to improve the frame rate.
"Meta is hard hit and the poor staff is gonna take the fall, as the company is berserk with shrinking revenue and its numerous failures to curb controversies."

No, it's everything to do with the shrinking revenue, and nothing to do with the controversies.

When I lived in LA it was frustrating explaining (to my out of state friends) how bad the power situation was. I cancelled many a DnD game because of it.

software dev with thirty years experience says: the modern push to make phones into de-facto PII is bluntly obvious. There are historical reasons that this is dangerous in itself, yet USA and others have profited mightily when successfully implementing systems like this. Awake.

I’ve also been skeptical of the commercial cloud for scientific computing workflows. I don’t think this cost benefit analysis mentions it, but the commercial cloud makes even less sense when you take into account brick and mortar considerations. In other words, if your company/institution has already paid for the machine rooms, sys admins, networks, the physical buildings, the commercial cloud is even less appealing. This is especially true with “persistent services” for example data servers that are always on because they handle real-time data, for example.

Another aspect of scientific computing on the commercial cloud that’s a pain if you work in academia is procurement or paying for the cloud. Academic groups are much more comfortable with the grant model. They often operate on shoe-string budgets and are simply not comfortable entering a credit card number. You can also get commercial cloud grants, but they often lack long-term, multiyear continuity.
> I keep hearing this theory, but it just begs the question: how are these people deciding which sources to trust? What makes them trust Fox News, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or Alex Jones rather than other "mainstream" news?

Abstractly, the same way ~everyone does: heuristics, confirmation bias, post-hoc rationalization, etc. On a relative scale, some people's methodologies are better than others (often much better), but on an absolute scale they are almost all bad.
Help: Sbcglobal.net Email in Limbo
I have a business client who has an sbcglobal.net email that is their main email and in use for probably 20 years, used in all their advertising and registration email, etc. They moved on from AT&T over 10 years ago and at that point it was suppose to convert to a free Yahoo account. I was going to upgrade them to Yahoo Plus email so that if there were any problems accessing the account we could get support to fix it. However, I learned that it is still an active AT&T account with email hosted by Yahoo. I can log into att.com but there are no services or products associated with the email and no billing.

Years ago I had a number of clients that lost their sbcglobal.net email in similar situations where the email was not converted to the free Yahoo email after closing their ATT/SBC account leaving them in limbo. The gist of it is that if the account ever got hacked or the password needed to be reset then AT&T won't help because there is no product or service associated with the account and Yahoo can't help because it is still an AT&T account in their records.

Does anyone have any experience or advice with this or someone I can talk to? I was able to get through to AT&T support (very difficult without any account or phone number tied to the email) and they don't really understand the problem and say it will be fine but I don't want to risk losing the email.
“Syndrome” would be correct if the underlying reason for Leonardo’s planning and follow-through challenges were due to disordered Executive functions and cognitive controls.
While I agree that empathy is the motivation and starting point, I do want to note that a lot of people in this discussion do seem to sincerely believe that this problem would be easy for Google to solve if they just cared enough. The framing of "Google's product designers should talk to my unhoused friends" in the tweet linked seems invested in this idea.

What if the most empathetic answer here is "This isn't really the right service for you"?
Wow that's an impressive changelog. Both user facing features and getting rid of what sound like lots of tech debt. Congratulations to the people who made this happen!
The important questions are down. Those are just examples to frame the discussion into something real, instead of letting it float as abstract concepts.
Performances aren't practice. Practice is sitting down and working on what needs development, and doing self-introspection. Performances are where all of those get put together for an audience.
Weird and interesting parallels: I quite enjoyed law school, did a few internships and practiced for a few years before mostly realizing the same thing, and still I have no regrets because things turned out well.

I took CS50 when it was probably very different (Brian Kernighan, the creator of C, teaching C)

Roughly, I ended up as a Chair of a Masters in IT program. Not doing that part anymore, but still a full time non-tenure teaching professor. (What technically, as in according to the rules of academia, qualifies me for all this, is the law degree. Weird. I'll take it!
