Every solution/alternative would always impose challenges that can be considered an edge case initially until it becomes permanent.

For example, if Google wants people (who have a tendency to lose their 2FA devices more often) to always use this feature, and in case they lose access to their device, they could use a trusted designate who can verify on their behalf that they are the ones signing into the service. But then again, this alternative will impose some new challenges such as:

- What if the designate is not available?
- Designate is available but also lost their access to verify the other person?

As with this case being raised here, it will always be a process wherein Google (or any other organization) will have to explore and find meaningful solutions that is both inclusive and considerate on specific conditions.

The variability alone of such premise is huge that I am quite sure when the next edge case comes up, there are other edge cases boiling down that will become the next set of issues.
You never know with city cops to be honest. You’ll probably atleast get tazed.
Can't turn it off for Google Ads account any more. Won't let you in. This is a real pain for shared google account in a small team like ours. Sick of Google removing user choice.

We all knew password, no problems at all. Now it mandates 2FA. And because they mandate it for Google Ads, now it's on for everything like Google Drive etc.
Why does no one consider colocation services anymore?

And why do people only know Hetzner, OVH and Linode as alternatives to the big cloud providers?

There are so many good and inexpensive server hosting providers, some with decades of experience.
I will ignore the speculation about how hard it will be, and just recommend Anki and spaced repetition to make it easier. You're almost as old as me, so there's a ton of old crap filling your head and it's harder to remember new things than it was when everything was new to you. Anki will help.

I'm also trying to actively forget song lyrics, but that probably doesn't help. I do hate that probably 5% of my brain is filled with lyrics, and probably 1% is filled with the lyrics of songs that I don't even like. I hope they invent a plasticity drug that I can inject directly into the song lyrics center of my brain ("Bowie's Area," maybe?)
That's not quite it. Those in the country live socially and harmoniously. But without the pressure of breathing at the neighbors armpit, it's far easier.

For instance, I contribute to the local volunteer fire department. The annual festival. The fireworks on the 4th.

I pull my neighbors out of the ditch when their car slides on snow in the winter. Hell, I snowplow my stretch of gravel with my tractor if the county isn't going to get to it for a couple days and my neighbors need to get to work.

Interactions are generally more cooperative, maybe even healthier, without the always-being-in-one-another's-face.
>It's why you are able to just login to your Telegram account on another device and magically get all of your message history.

Secret chats are secure, and you cannot access them except on the device you start them with. It's one of the pain points for people that use them: they don't sync like normal chats.
The Israeli conflict is only about land by default. Because if one or the other gives up, they have nowhere to live. Everything else is money and the stories we tell ourselves and they tell themselves around procuring more of it. Money and power.

If you put the existential threat part aside (which we should have after +70 years with all of our neighbors having fractured countries) the Israeli/Palestinian story is as pathetic as it gets being solely a money and power grab. And to think we still sends our sons and daughters to die for said grabbers of money and power under the guise of symbolism and idealism speaking it as we’re still a fresh new country.
Even more importantly, if you have any reasonable amount of spend on cloud, you can get preferred pricing agreements. As much as I hate to talk to "salespeople", I did manage to cut millions in costs per year with discounts on serving and storage.

Personally, when I estimate the total cost of ownership of scientific cloud computing versus on prem (for extremely large-scale science with both significant server, storage, and bandwidth requirements) the cloud ends up winning for a number of reasons. I've seen a lot of academics who disagree but then I find out they use their grad students to manage their clusters.

Are you sure you're not talking about pressed (ie. mass produced) discs? I find it unlikely that a blu-ray/dvd burner equipped with only a laser can "engrave data into a polycarbonate with high melting point".
Most (all?) of my schools did have a subscription (early 2000's), but it was only accessible at school on the school computers, so I basically never used it, because I did my homework/research at home.

Interestingly, hang-drying laundry is widely used in Japan, where people prefer it to using a machine when weather conditions permit; the sunlight kills germs and dries fabrics more gently. Saves energy, too.

The main problem is creepy older men stealing ladies’ undergarments. It’s become such a problem that you can buy gadgets that secure your clothes to the line such that they can’t be pulled off by thieves using “grabbers” on long sticks.
To confirm, I wish they would migrate posts, too, but I do not believe that the lack of that means that you cannot call it a migration.

It might also depend on how long you're actually willing to wait. There's nothing stopping you from having a job queue in AWS, and you can setup things up so that instances are only running if the price is low enough.

Otherwise completely agree, there might be some cases where the cost of labour means that you're better off running something in AWS, even if that requires someone to do the configuration as well.
There’s lots of space between “not doing things for profit” and “not caring about money”.
Such mechanism already exists. Look for the comment by @nightpool

It works best between Mastodon instances, but between different apps the migrations are often also supported. New apps like GoToSocial have the migration still as open issue sitting in their tracker, but will support as well.
I don’t think there’s any universe where a company runs an international chain of retail outlets in order to support a free email service. If that were the standard, free email providers just wouldn’t exist outside of bundles with other services.

The notifications Signal pops up, with contact name and message text, are generated from within the app itself, not sent via Google.

It does receive some Firebase messages from Google, but not the type that automatically pops up a notification. Instead these are silent ones that trigger the app to perform a particular action, such as fetching any new Signal messages from Signal's servers.

Imagine you steal 10,500 ETH. Then you deposit it into Tornado Cash. Then a year later a new address withdraws exactly 10,500 ETH from Tornado Cash (100 ETH at a time). That would look pretty suspicious.

Exactly you should slowly withdraw from Tornado. But you cannot use companies like Coinbase Gemini et al because they will ask about source of funds after a certain amount which you obviously do not want to reveal and coins that pass through Tornado are tainted now due to Tornado getting put on the OFAC list so they may freeze your accounts. So that’s where the sketchy people come in.

I will offer an unpopular take. Maybe we should not be focusing on ensuring homeless have access to email. Maybe we should be focusing on ensuring basic services do not require email and/or cell phone.
From experience there's *huge* power in writing the recap. Many people never read it, and of those that do most do not want to get into the hassle of engaging in a did/didn't type of conflict, regardless of whether they were right or wrong.

(upvote) with caveat .. specialization among advanced training groups is divergent from "whole systems" approach yes, agree.. but careful with undiluted use of the 'control' keyword there.. Discipline among troops/specialists is not exactly the same as extended specialist knowledge, and the means to imbue/acquire specialist knowledge.

This post strikes a nerve here.. considering historical shifts of agrarian or nomadic people being conquered by militaries with advanced supply chains and technology, for example logistics, medicine, personal gear and weapons. Absolutely yes specialization empowered societies to conquer, but also civilian advancements. (the PRC mocks Tibetans as 'stone age people' for example, since they lack most of modern industrial products for transportation and medicine).

Intelligence may rebel against rote indoctrination (paths towards behavioral discipline) yet Intelligence seeks specialist knowledge like a kind of gravity. Lots of patience on this topic, please, its crucial !
Actually computing is fine for most use cases (spot instances, preemptible VMs on GCP) and have been used in lots of situations, even at CERN. Where it also excels is if you need any kind of infrastructure, because no HPC center has figured a reasonable approach to that (some are trying with k8s). Also, obviously, you get a huge selection of hardware.

Where cloud/aws doesn’t make sense is storage, especially if you need egress, and if you actually need IB
There's allegedly nothing different special about blu-ray M-DISCs

>Digging further around the M-disc site, it is noted that their section on longevity testing actually features no data about the BD-R discs at all. Indeed, if there were tests, the reports were not actually featured on the site at all. Further poking around in M-Disc Technology pages shows only references to their DVD products. In fact, it seems their patented “etched in stone” material may only apply to their DVD products.

Disks didn't always write a block in the correct place. Things are better now, but still not perfect.

I would recommend that you read all your data all the time; this ensures RAID-1 or ZFS will correct the silent bitrot. Hopefully. A megabyte or two per second read rate is all you need.

I am an American and I am currently residing in America. And where I live and everywhere near me, there's no way they'd allow you to park on your lawn, etc. We have a democratically elected council which is empowered to create town ordinances and things like this fall under these ordinances.

For instance, we don't allow "trash and debris" and plant life can't be "overgrown" and your property must be
kept clean and free of garbage". Things can't be "unsightly" or in disrepair. There's a bunch of ordinances that apply to these things.

If you disagree with it you can:

I'm don't understand so much of the specific chess moves stuff here either, but in case a big-picture outline helps anybody:

- The high-level chess player accused of cheating (Niemann, left side) is offering the gameplay moves they would make (white pieces). Many of them seem like obviously bad ideas to those observing.

- The moves are made for him on the screen by another experienced chess player (grandmaster Firouzja, right side). And he also visibly reacts to some of Niemann's moves, like "why would you ever do that?" (4:13)

- The right-side player then makes his moves, playing as black.

- The streamer (grandmaster Nakamura, lower right corner) is also really surprised by both Niemann's moves and Niemann's commentary

- The weaker player (Firouzja, right) starts to win the game

The player accused of cheating, Niemann, then later refused to do this kind of analysis with someone else, in an awkward moment in which he summarized his thoughts with a line that sounds like something Donald Trump would say:

Thanks for checking me on my U.S.-centrism and your comment as well! For the record, I think Australia's market is a bit younger even though it's already a bit larger as a percentage of power consumed than the U.S.'s thanks to some amazing solar resources in the desert. I'm fairly certain that all of this gets much easier for everyone at scale - it's just a matter of waiting it out until there are enough modules ready to recycle to generate regular revenue for recyclers, so it's likely just a waiting game.
They were not necessary but useful in some contexts. What you are noticing is people not overusing them (which was a major concern).

The only time I have used them in the last year was building a generic LRU memory cache and it worked wonderfully.
The problem here boils down to this: how does this help people who don't have secure, reliable storage for off device backup?

Those were included in the 4000 deaths number. Irrational though the fears were they led to people believing they were 'contaminated' and committing suicide, etc. The overwhelming majority of cancers were thyroid which is 99% curable (especially when you're monitoring for it).
If scholars find some claim in Wikipedia, they should cite the source of the claim. If the source actually is Wikipedia, it should not be included in an academic paper.

It's clear to me now that there is a divide between people who used physical encyclopedias (And thus know what an encyclopedia is for) and those who have only used Wikipedia. They don't understand that an encyclopedia is a place to get a quick overview of a subject, but then use the actual sources of the information to write their papers.
Because early school-age children haven't honed their bullshit detectors yet. Seriously though, I'm currently fighting that with my two kids.

They're now old enough that they're becoming netizens of their own and searching for things and learning on their own, but after having to correct a few misconceptions, I've had to sit down with them and explain how they can't trust everything they find in a search and how to perform their own research and validate.

However, getting them to really grasp that while young isn't super easy.
The problem Europe has isn't regulation, it's that it doesn't have the continent-scale easily-accessed shale oil the US has. Also that it shares a border with Russia. These problems are geographic, not something a government can change.

Ransoming the CISO Role
Very true in comparison to Instagram. Flickr doesn't strip your metadata and color profiles. They allow uploading actual rectangle photos instead of square or square-ish. They don't compress the hell out of the images. They store an original of the upload (great for an archiving failure). There's also more community-building tools even if they're no where near the vibrancy of a decade ago (though the unlimited storage is probably what led to the decline as many folks just dumped everything on it).

The biggest beef is everything that comes with it needing to be for-profit and how you can't control the whims of the product owner.
I don’t think that first statement is pointless, it just shows you have the ability to learn and to admit you’re not perfect. And regret just means you made a choice in the past, that you’d done differently being the person you are today, and you feel it would have made your life better had you choosen differently. But we all make mistakes, nobody’s perfect, I’d expect everyone to have some regrets.
Well I couldn't find that in the opensource/SaaS, so I built mine.

It's possible I'll make it publicly available one day, but seeing my track record, I probably won't too :p

Maybe have a look at digiKam. It can generate HTML galleries and is the closest thing I could find to my use case. It takes a bit of tinkering, but you can generate nice stuff.
On the other hand it makes sense if you just need to borrow their infrastructure for a while to calculate something.

A lot of scientific computing isn't happening continuously, and a lot of it is one time experiment or maybe couple of times after which you would have to tear down and reassign.

Another fun fact people forget is our ability to predict future is still pretty poor. Not only that, we are biased towards thinking we can predict it when in fact this is complete bullshit.

You have to buy and set up infrastructure before you can use it and then you have to be ready to use it. What if you are not ready? What if you will not need as much resources? What if you stop needing it earlier than you thought? When you borrow it from AWS you have flexibility to start using it when you are ready and drop it immediately when you no longer need it. Which has value on its own.

At the company I work for we found out and basically banned signing long term contracts for discounts. We found that, on average, we pay many times more for unused services than whatever we gained through discounts. Also when you pay for the resources there is incentive to improve efficiency. When you have basically prepaid for everything that incentive is very small and is basically limited to making sure you have to stay within limits.
I have a feeling some of those guys were pretty accessible in the early days of the internet. I remember emailing Dan Forden (toasty!) to talk about the MK music back in the day. Nowadays, unless they're active on social media, it's not so easy to contact the creators.
Unless you think it's flattering to have recruiters reaching out, I don't see when I was flattering myself.

Based on your understanding, if other companies perceived me as being a flight risk because I'd worked in FAANG (?) I probably wouldn't be interested in them either, so it sounds like the system's working as expected.
For fast-moving researchers who are blocked by a queue, cloud computing still makes sense. I guess I wasn't clear enough in the last section about how I still use AWS for startup-scale computational biology. My scientific computing startup (trytoolchest.com) is 100% built on top of AWS.

Most scientific computing still happens on supercomputers in slower moving academic or big co settings. That's the group for whom cloud computing – or at least running everything on the cloud – doesn't make sense.
I actually think this is some not too minor part of the misinformation problem we have today. Sure some of it is willful, but simultaneously almost any common sense notion you have about how to do research these days has a big fucking asterix next to it, and may have been born of a time of different communication patterns.
Ooh. This is kinda cool. Albeit a little involved.

Did this actually end up working?
Whatever the security of Signal is, all my trust into any service ends when it requires from me personally identifiable information, which could be easely replaced by other methods (I am system software developer for ~31 years, don't even try to feed me with bs).

And as such, Signal/Telegram/Whatever that requires me to enter phone number, has zero trust from me. I don't care who analyzed the protocols security, what the safety measures are, what cipher algorithms you use, how many hackers tried to break in and failed, what other PR/SEO methods you use.

Just the fact, that you require information that is so deeply PII as phone number is a reason that overrides everything else. From my standpoint, software that requires that, is honeypot.

(btw, this is my personal opinion, you don't have to agree - I can (from any device, without giving any PII, now or 20 years in past) login into IRC network (vpn/... is outside this topic) and use asymmetric cryptography (with exchanging public key safely by some other method, stenography anyone?) to chat completely secure. I can send email (with exchanging public key safely by some other method, stenography anyone?) and communicate completely secure. I can use Counterstrike chat on random server to do the same. So what does the Signal does for me in terms of safety of exchanged information? Show me a nicer UI so I can use graphic smileys?)
