So if you hire people without business degrees none of what you described will happen? If you hire a person to cut costs, you're looking for a person who will cut costs. That's what's being avoided conceptually in how this study is being interpreted. Going to a cancer doctor doesn't increase your chances of having cancer, it makes the likelihood of you having cancer to begin with more likely (ie I'm a company that's no longer growing and I need help to die slower).
If you finish it, you should probably read it again. ;)
That something would be wrong. I can steal all your money with the information on the front of one of your checks.
The difference is that servers are cogs in a machine. It's often desirable to treat them as fungible and interchangeable, and there are no ethical problems with doing so.
Can you blame them? I just built a nice custom PC for my Son, with an 6 core cpu (with graphics, a ryzen -g class) 32GB of ram, 1TB NVMe hard drive, nice case, etc.

That cost about the same as a single mid-range video card. (Nvidia RTX 3070)

Why on earth would you add a requirement to your software/workflow that doubles your cost, and is just about impossible to find in stock?
Were you listening to those CDs or eating them for breakfast??

It's a world 7B+ strong, there's room for everyone. Even those who like to appreciate holding a music medium in their hands.

It's ok. You can move on.
Their phones used to support wireless screen mirroring using Miracast, but that stopped after Chromecast was introduced.
> Think about it - why would this particular group of students, as opposed to other groups, with other teachers, decide not to learn?

That's where your logic breaks down. You're falling into the streetlight fallacy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streetlight_effect). These people are in the news, but the news doesn't report everything. You can't infer this isn't happening elsewhere from this kind of media coverage.
I don't think it's difficult!

• The people who want security get to keep all the security they get today.

• The people who don't think about security and leave default settings intact keep all the security they get today.

• The people who explicitly ask for less security get less security.

• Some of the homeless will get increased access to vital services.

It's a win-win—unless you believe, for some reason, that people should have security forced on them even if they explicitly ask to not have it. I fundamentally don't understand this mindset. People should have the right to do dangerous things if they are warned of the risks involved.
This is the part I don't understand. Are shareholders really that short-term minded? I agree with everything you've said btw.

I've come to the realization that most companies have a very small percentage of people doing the heavy lifting and important work. Somehow they're never compensated in a way to reflect that. Brain drain will eventually catch up to you.
MySpace deleted all content prior to 2016, making it effectively a new network from the Myspace people normally talk about.
It already is that, which is precisely why google is using it here. Google is an american private company. Phone numbers have government mandated systems around the world that allow a individual to keep using them even when they lose their phone. Google uses it because it lets governments solve the identity problem in the fashion and to the degree they deem acceptable, and leaves google in the tech business. Some countries have issued ID cards which support encrypting and signing documents. If that becomes more widely practiced, then google could switch to that instead, but until then I imagine they'll keep using phone numbers.
This is a tricky question because I regret nearly everything about the last 20 years and feel that I'm living in a bizarro reality where it all went wrong. Dot Bomb. 9/11. Forever wars in the Middle East. Housing Bubble. The former president. Global Pandemic. So many unforced errors it boggles the mind! And the way I let the world use me and make me miserable enough to use others.

There was no point along that progression where I experienced the feeling of having a win. Just levels upon levels of chronic exhaustion, overwhelm and burnout. To the point where that enduring suffering became my reality.

I wish I would have learned about manifestation (reality shifting) earlier. I didn't know that I helped create the reality I was in by fixating on the negative and dwelling on the past.

Since I was awakened, I've been shifting along the multiverse through meditation towards realities that better support spirit and magic. I always thought the dawning of the New Age had to do with time, but time is an illusion. It's more like, a dimension just outside ours that we grow into phase with through our vibration, swaying the collapse of the wave function (or whatever you want to call free will). Anyone can do this at any time, but for whatever reason we suppress that lucidity and deny our relationship with creation and our contribution through co-creation.

What I'm saying is that from all the ways I let the cold hard facts of logic and ego and the quest for personal gain fail myself, I've found meaning through faith/hope/love and service to others. From the inward flow of the Sith to the outward flow of the Jedi. Or whatever pop culture reference floats your boat. The hippies were right man, all you need is love.
One of my recent big regrets was not refinancing my home in 2020/21 when rates hit the floor, before I quit my well paying job to go FT on my business.

Life was crazy and I kept putting it off. But I could have cut my rate in half.
It would be more accurate to say that Signal has stripped its features down to those it can implement safely without keeping serverside databases of communications metadata. It's surprisingly hard to do that, and so Signal has noticeably fewer features than things like Matrix, which suffered calamitous security vulnerabilities as a result.
This parent is wrong, and the teacher is also wrong. There is no reason for children to use a source like Wikipedia for anything.

Children also should not be permitted to use services like Google, which is bad for similar reasons, amply recited by the link author.

Schools usually have access to excellent library databases. It's never too early to teach children useful research skills. Wikipedia is anti-useful. Searching Wikipedia is an anti-skill that actively misinforms users, training both children and adults into believing that they can do "research" by punching strings into a text box to retrieve often highly inaccurate articles which are also un-citeable for any serious purpose.

When the web was young and fresh, Wikipedia was better than many alternatives. In the current era, with so many digitized books and journal articles, there is no reason whatsoever to use Wikipedia for anything but the most casual browsing.

>Instead, they’re bad-mouthing Wikipedia specifically, and then having them do a fucking Google search and using whatever pops up as an authoritative source!
>Are you kidding me?

Google is worse, so it's not like the teacher is offering a better alternative. The teacher instead should be directing the children to print or digitized encyclopedias and towards appropriate databases. The teacher would also be better off directing the children to sources like Archive.org to seek out higher quality primary and secondary sources responsive to whatever questions are being posed.
As somebody developing on z/OS, I feel for you, and I am not alone. It sucks not to be able to run those systems as a hobby. (Although I don't think the pricing model is the culprit necessarily, companies are willing to pay a lot for the clouds too.)

The mainframes are also becoming more opaque as time goes on, IBM is less willing to publicly document OS and HW internals, and they are less customizable than they used to be. But that's the business trend, and life, I guess.

But yeah, the article reminded me of the new cache architecture on z16, where many processors can share their L2 caches to have a single coherent cache.
It has been especially ridiculous to watch The Narrative shift on this one. Insert reprogramming meme.

I'm quite an amateur as well (although with some work experience on vision systems). The latest Sony RX100 is $1600 CAD so it's quite a different level than the one you currently have. Like they say, and it's true, the best camera is the one you have with you... I really liked the RX100, and my favourite thing with it was actually taking it to events. Concerts and hockey games, it did OK with low light with it's RAW processing, and it was small enough to bring in a pocket.

The G9 X has a "one inch" sensor, which is about as big as you can get in this size, like the RX100. The bigger sensor and the bigger / nicer the optics, the better your pictures. Like you are saying, when you get it right these small point and shoots can easily out perform the phones.

Honestly for the family shots, even though the camera was nice and small, I didn't end up getting it into the diaper bag or backpack as much as I thought I would, I ended up with my phone a lot of the time. Then, I got back into prime lenses on an old Nikon and then new Fuji, and there's no comparison (for me) between a fast prime and a point and shoot, no mater the number of fancy features on the latest RX100. The Fuji 56mm spoiled me.
If people aren't making too much noise about a language feature then I just assume it was implemented right
That's how it is in most of WV south of, say, Hampshire County.
"A few drinks..."

Stop drinking? I know it sounds dumb, but makes sense to a lot of people who do it.

Everyone around you may binge drink all the time, but not everyone does. Most people don't actually.

Reliably not doing stupid things is actually pretty nice.
> a migration path for users to move to other instances

Thanks for clarifying - without that bit of background, this post reads like, "if I can't have it, no one can". But I guess the post is directed at people who do understand the background behind mastodon in general (which I and OP didn't).
This is pretty meandering, and some parts are quite good.

However... I feel like this relies on a narrow perspective of the past. Did people's belief systems not work this way in the past? I mean, the social internet is new, and that changes things, but what's our baseline?

Religion, for example, has always been good at dividing us into sects with competing narrative beliefs. A lot of the emotion, tension and conflict that results from a church schism is similar to the political schisms cited here. Religion also sometimes encourages "alternate reality games" as described here. Find clues in scripture, the flight of birds or whatnot. See a deeper reality than all those fools. Religious devotees alway "produce and consume game materiel" in much the same way.

Your chances of convincing a MAGA, BLM or any other modern political devotee to reform might seem slim... but they're much better than with religion. In fact, they usually fizzle out naturally while religious beliefs are very resilient.

Anyway, my point isn't to bash religion, it's to say that maybe this is all just normal human behavior. Maybe the TV era was the unusual phenomenon. Maybe we're not all supposed to believe the same things.
Why not consider twitter, Facebook, tumblr as decentralized instances of social media? Why build decentralization into the tech instead of having decentralization through multiple companies existing? A real community is being destroyed here, even though other similar ones exist
Isn't that exactly what Wikipedia wants you to do? You can put anything on Wikipedia without a source anyway.

What I find obnoxious is that these are the same schools that will hand the kids a ChromeBook without being critical of Google incentive.
It seems entirely apiece with how a rule begins ("Don't cite tertiary sources like encyclopedias, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so don't cite Wikipedia") and then gets simplified to the point of uselessness ("Don't cite Wikipedia", then finally "Don't use Wikipedia") and then generates its own inverse rule ("If it's not Wikipedia, you can use it").

At each stage the why gets shaved off and then people come up with their own reverse-engineered explanations ("Don't use Wikipedia because it's edited all the time by randos, so it's less reliable than the other stuff you'll find online").

You can see this with, eg, p-values- people learn the rule "A p-value measures the probability of obtaining the observed results, assuming that the null hypothesis is true." which becomes "a low p-value means we should reject the null hypothesis" becomes "a p-value is the probability the null hypothesis is true" (the inverse).
For some people servers have their individual "servernalities".
Wikipedia is a terrific resource for an overview - and sometimes in-depth - coverage of a subject.

Where it might fail is - like a calculator (and obviously Google) - make research too easy; I can see that being an argument to at least change the focus of study methods in some cases.

Another way it might fail as a resource is where the "expertise" of the editors contributing is biased (and therefore so is the content) towards the demographics of Wikipedia editors, eg leftist/white/male/middle class, which carries it's own significant risks of misinformation in some areas of knowledge where those biases are potentially harmful.

Complacency towards this last point, which is breezily dismissed by the author with

"No agenda (or damn near no agenda, I mean, come on - show me a more neutral source for this information)"

severely undermines his argument.
I don’t think you can really throw music theory out because so much of it is inate to humans hearing and culture, and it’s largely a formalization of such.

However, the rub is that what most people consider music theory is western classical theory. There’s a lot of different music theories around the world , with different scales, structures etc…

Here’s a video you might find interesting of a microtonal guitar https://youtu.be/OVZShd7GZAY

Also a really good video on why “music theory” is often largely paired to western music https://youtu.be/Kr3quGh7pJA while there’s so many alternates out there
Tldr: use OpenWRT to create a static IP reservation for a dedicated torrent instance, then use source-based routing to send traffic over a VPN running on the router.

Sounds pretty awesome. I've not dabbled with PBR on home equipment. We did use it in prior employment to force all PCI traffic over a dedicated physical network between datacenters.
Its much more complex than described.

The author is making a brilliant argument for getting a secondhand workstation and shoving under their desk.

If you are doing multi machine batch style processing, then you won't be using ondemand, you'd use the spot pricing. The missing argument in that part is storage costs. Managing a high speed, highly available synchronous file system that can do a sustained 50gb/sec is hard bloody work (no S3 isnt a good fit, too much management overhead)

Don't get me wrong AWS _is_ expensive if you are using a machine for more than a month or two.

however if you are doing highly parallel stuff, Batch and lustre on demand is pretty ace.

If you are doing a multi-year project, then real steel is where its at. Assuming you have factored in hosting, storage and admin costs.
Keeping wrong people out is only half of what is required for security. You also have to let the right people in.
I don't see it mentioned in the article (though I might have missed it), but:

> As such, the cybercriminals managed to pull off the attack by impersonating the victim of the attack for roughly 13 hours.

All the contacts of that victim would have received a warning that the victim had changed their encryption keys (WhatsApp has that warning too, but unlike Signal it's disabled by default), and IIRC, that warning shows up before you try to send a message. Even if they're not the kind of people who checks whether the encryption keys match (it's very easy to do if you're meeting in person, but not many people do), that warning can be enough to alert the contact that something odd is going on.
Think of this situation as a warning you should not ignore. Stop drinking.

> However the data is stored, first, in special storages called secure enclaves, which even Signal developers can’t access. And second, the numbers themselves aren’t stored there in plain text, but rather in the form of a hash code.

I was out of context. You can use salt, pepper or both but if these attacks are done buy Signal developers it would most likely be easy to crack the hashes. In the case of a data leak it can help depending on how difficult it is to figure out how the hashing works.
Although the UK has some advantages e.g. an appreciable percentage of Europe's LNG capacity, pipeline infrastructure to Norway, and pre-existing contracts with suppliers from Kuwait and the US.
Fifth percentile in an optional activity is NOT the big number you think it is in the case of elite university admissions. For reference, being in the fifth percentile of all track participants or all debate participants doesn't rise to the level that would move the needle on admission to CMU CS or HM. Just making the Varsity team in either is already above the 50th percentile in many cases, and setting yourself apart for super elite college admissions requires being in the top percentile or so of that 50th percentile of Varsity participants.

Seriously. Let's compare to scouting, which starts young. Every year, 4.14 million students participate in track across all age groups. There are at most 9,516 D1 track and field scholarships. That's a maximum 0.2% (not 2%, 0.2%), often lower. Again, good enough for a D1 partial scholarship is often the "bar" for consideration of athletics in admissions beyond "participation item". And even then, it's not automatic admissions. It's just the bar you need to clear for them to care. To consider it as part of the package. You probably need something else, in addition to this and great scores.

And, to be clear, the difference between 5% ability and 1% ability is HUGE. The difference between 1% and 0.5% is again huge. In many activities, there's an exponential curve in terms of talent and effort. So we're not merely talking about a few percentage points, we're talking about a very qualitatively significant difference in kind.

The other issue with scouting in particular is that it's not competitive and the requirements are, honestly, mostly box checking. And the ones that aren't pure box checking are subjective and opaque.

Now, don't get me wrong. Scouting is a worthy endeavor and achieving Eagle Scout is RIGHTFULLY a crowning achievement for many youth! It's something to be proud of and which should be awarded!

But here, the sour grapes are not about good or even great schools. It's about admission to the absolutely most competitive departments at the absolutely most competitive schools. And in those cases, Eagle Scout just doesn't move the needle as much as people here assume. It's the minimum to even start taking scouting seriously as a resume item, not a needle mover.
At least a data point here - my city of Austin is buying a hotel to convert into housing for the homeless.

This has gone badly. The property sees intense vandalism and destruction, the neighbors are afraid for their safety, and the whole thing is an amazingly expensive boondoggle.

As much as this would be horrible for employees impacted, I wonder if this is an attempt to appease shareholders? Layoffs are a common tactic of large companies and do affect the bottom line, 12k employees could be $1.2B annually using a conservative $100k avg per person.

I've been wondering with Meta, and its business model shift, if at some point shareholders might request a change in management, although I think Zuckerberg is majority owner?
I genuinely hate how MBA-speak has been adopted seemingly everywhere. I truly, truly hate it. I understand and appreciate that we need a concise set of terminology and jargon to have conversations about these things but these words seem specifically chosen to abstract away the human quality of the humans being discussed.

Sure, but commercial entities generally shut down when there's too few users to justify the costs. But then you're not comparing the value of current Twitter shutting down but an empty wasteland Twitter shutting down. An empty wasteland Fediverse also wouldn't be of much use to the vast majority of people.
That's true of literally every possible messenger application.
I am questioning that fact. In my experience temperature is not destroying fabric, people used to iron their clothes for decades. Spinning in an underpowered dryer for longer will put more wear on the fabrics and stitching.
Yeah I get this a lot too with Signal on macOS
Matrix servers still control group membership, and probably will for a while (ie, months).

The vulnerabilities that allowed such users and devices to steal keys have been fixed.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write all this to explain clearly :).

As I feared, these mechanisms do break the assumptions that would make a blockchain useful in the first place. So it is not actually possible to move tokens from a blockchain to another in the security model that this technology exists for.
Maybe those hesitations aren’t communication failures but successes, as they convey the true feeling of the speaker.

You cannot evaluate “effectiveness” of speech if you don’t know what your goal is.
You seem to be confusing the mathematical definition of matrix multiplication with an explicit algorithm to compute it. The wiki page you linked is almost entirely about the abstract mathematical definition and talks about algorithms only for a single paragraph, which is about computational complexity. If you look at the wiki page for a particular algorithm (e.g. Strassen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strassen_algorithm) then of course they talk about stability in comparison to the naive algorithm (although the page could be improved quite a bit).

If your college textbooks do not mention error analysis, conditioning and stability then they are not numerical linear algebra books worthy of the name. Check out a reference like Trefethen and Bau's Numerical Linear Algebra for example. This book has a whole part (out of the 7 parts in the book) talking about conditioning and stability, and these ideas are present throughout other parts as well.

Once more the type of analysis I'm talking about is emphatically not implementation dependent. It is a property of the algorithm itself. For an example of the sort of statement I mean check out theorem 3.1 of this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0603207. If you disagree with me then please indicate what sort of "implementation factors" appear in the statement of the theorem.
