When I was a 26 year old newly minted manager, I interviewed a guy who was pushing 60 who had retired early due to a stock windfall. Ten+ years later, with the market not doing so well and having overspent, there he was looking for a job. It's easy to think the good times in tech of the past decade will keep going, but these years have been somewhat of an anomaly - sure tech workers overall make pretty good money, but eff-you money is rare.
Just so there's no confusion on this, the cell phone rule is FCC, not FAA. It's not about interfering with the aircraft, it's about causing problems with cell networks.
It’s breathtaking the way the US executive branch fights with with itself.

Literally until a month ago the FAA required pilots of most piston planes to use leaded fuel.

https://www.flightglobal.com/engines/faa-approves-100-octane...

Along comes the EPA after the fact to let us know how harmful that FAA policy was.

Just to be clear, this isn’t about callous airports or small plane owners. This is about the feds inflicting harm by being slow to update regulations. There is no reason the FAA shouldn’t have moved decades ago.
This feels like a very significant, early time. Most of our future with robots is yet to come.

The concern over weaponized robotics is as valid as it is growing in light of very rapid tech advancement.

In our time right now, the line between lower tech many of us call machines and robots is increasingly unclear.

Eg:

When is a drone a robot?

This move may be looked back upon as an early expression of what will become a profound divide among people.
They took them from someone's phone.
“since it means that their personal notes about their patients will be made available directly to the patient, something that was not possible in the past. Doctors often write down their real thoughts about the patient in there and can say some things the patient might not be happy with.”

Just when you thought American healthcare couldn’t get worse, our genius leaders have decided to couple full and immediate patient access to medical notes with frequent patient surveys about their doctor’s visits. Did a patient request unnecessary antibiotics and you refused? Ouch, that’s going to hurt your survey results and possibly impact your future earnings. Oh also, they read through your visit note and saw that you added “obesity” to their problem list since their BMI puts them in that category and you wanted to make sure they were screened appropriately for diabetes and heart disease at their next visit. The patient finds this very offensive and has requested to meet with the practice manager about the situation.
Most consumer routers are switches that with vlans for lan and wan, with a linux machine that does NAT wired to a trunk port.
I don’t think there’s a single compelling reason. I personally did it because the price increase was relatively modest ($90->$180/mo), my access points already supported 5GbE, and I do a lot of security research that high bandwidth may eventually be useful for. Also, it is fun to look at the speed test!
I'm just not at a point where I need 2.5Gbps yet, and it's too small of an increase from 1Gbps.
I very explicitly do not have 2FA enabled on my email account, and it's also the only account that's not a random password from my password manager but rather a (very) strong password I memorized.

Maybe my house will get burgled, maybe I will lose all my stuff in travel, or a fire, or ... I don't know. Email is kind of the key to everything, which makes 2FA important, but can also a huge pain in all sorts of exceptional situations, and losing access to your email often means losing access to lots of other stuff, too.

I feel account access is still an unsolved problem; 2FA is a meh stop-gap solution at best with lots of trade-offs. Ideally your account should be tied to your identity (e.g. passport or the like) in a privacy-secure manner.
I wish they’d decouple accounts from phone numbers, but to this point specifically, they do have a feature where you can add a PIN on your account that makes it impossible to re-register for some period of time (7 days? I forget). That’s at least enough to neutralize the risk from SIM swaps.

I think a clear example of this would be The Orville.

It's obviously inspired from Star Trek TNG and they want you to know it, but it has different characters and details. It's not Star Trek, but it's also true to the original than any recent Star Trek TV shows or movies.

So yeah, I would say, just change character names and make changes to your designs. Make it be its own thing and have fun with it.
Yes, and there have been some attempts to popularize longer cycles with saner breaks built in. 37signals’ Shape Up methodology is one, for example.
Yes, I’ve tried turning it off and on multiple times and it still makes me do 2FA.
Can you share a use case or two this would be best suited for?
A place where this idea falls down now is many devices do not actually contain a ROM. They only have RAM and get their firmware loaded into them at initialization. Functionally they are little different from a device with a flashable firmware.

This is a weird situation for Linux distros or any FOSS operating system. In order to use this hardware they need to ship closed binary blobs. Even if the license on the blobs allow redistribution shipping non-free software is often against a groups internal rules.
Is the original memo posted anywhere? This article with the accompanying Zuck-in-the-meta screenshot is so ridiculous it seems like it can’t be real…
Flew to Bulgaria late spring these jokers managed to lose my bags both ways... I could see why they wouldn't want this. Learned to pack some clothes in my backpack just in case now
AA is the worst. I would be here all day if I were to explain all the things they did on a single flight, NY to Akron. I rented a car and drove home, so not to expose myself to that again. Have not flown AA since.

Now JetBlue codeshares with AA. Worried.
That's... not obvious at all, no? Even if it's a rando-brand, you're going to have to dig deep to show these things actually phone home. Because so far that's been a lovely little tinfoil hat conspiracy theory that just doesn't hold up to reality.
Six-Minute Transit Headways Would Increase Ridership 15%: Expert
The Mandelbrot set already has that rather pretty interpretation as the logistic map [0, 1] that is enough to serve as a third dimension. While the mathematicians can have their fun with alternative, more technically satisfying, approaches when people talk about "3D Mandelbrot" it is probably more interesting if that references to the logistic connection.

It would be spot on if Lufthansa actually gave a different answer for those.

I bet you if you call Lufthansa and say "I want to put wireless earbuds in my checked baggage" they will also tell you they need to be switched off.
Could you explain? I’ve got a hard time imagining a user interested in the rest calls themselves.
My problem isn’t that gmail is too secure, it’s that the 2FA setting doesn’t actually turn off what it’s supposed to turn off. Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior.
Musk is fully subscribed to China's authoritarian vision. He is invested in it. It suits him.

Musk says Americans are complacent and entitled, especially Californians and New Yorkers. In contrast, Musk says China rocks:

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/31/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-china-ro...

Musk implausibly called America's covid measures "fascist":

https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/29/21242102/elon-musk-corona...

And yet he had Tesla praise China's covid measures. Apparently Tesla had "always strived to fulfil its epidemic prevention responsibilities and that it believed Shanghai's COVID-19 measures helped lay the foundation for the city's future development":

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/tesla-...

China profits Musk too much for him to oppose it. He will always make apologies for China.
Does MacPorts have newer SSH?
What was it specifically about this doctor that you found it worth to get the state involved? Just curious.
'little a agile' is explicitly saying it's not the proper noun 'Agile'. Which is the point.
It isn't performance art. He is showing you who and what he is. Believe him.
Requested but never received, they were sorta like “oh nobody ever asks for those”
Hallelujah, I'm a Bum – Utah Phillips [video]
Bruce "Utah" Phillips covers Harry McClintok standard "Hallelujah, I'm A Bum." Marching song of the International Worker's of the World, "Halleujah, I'm A Bum" is an important historical satire of work as identity.
Why would it be better than the realtek chip found in so many devices that the odds of yours being bugged are proportional to how much you're wanted by the authorities. Consumer hardware doesn't have backdoors because the monumentous task required to keep that hidden isn't worth the non-payoff of not getting the military or state secrets that would make it worth the effort.
Yup, "photograph" is literally "light recording".
Imo Signal never actually transition from a protocol for secure messaging into an actual secure messaging app.
You don't need to reveal your AirTag to report a lost bag.

And carrying an AirTag, even if it were against their rules, does not somehow absolve them of their duty to return the bag (and/or pay for the lost luggage).
30 vs 45 fps on my steam deck feels night and day different, it's amazing how much small jumps like that can help.
yeah they'd need to innovate to mitigate their risk.

example: you are a car manufacturer. you have a legal responsibility for the street safety of your car, a responsibility for the functional safety of your product.

now a car crashes, badly, killing people, and blame is put onto the internal software of some on board "electronic control unit", ecu.

how can you ensure the software was not tampered with?

lock it down, secure boot?

then you can't have any gpl3 component on there.

so to allow for personal software modifications you'd need to innovate some mechanism which reliably flags unsigned software changes to the ecu. they need to be reliable enough that even after a crash you can still check if the ecu was running vendor software or some modified version. just like you can check if the brakes or the steering was intact or tampered with.

such legal liability is at the heart of rejecting gpl3 for many devices.

ps: for infotainment it's not about human life but about profit, content tax, a different story.
That makes sense. It sounds like people on the internet honestly. Hyper focusing on inconsequential things just to have a reason to get at others
why would it be the budget's fault ?

I disagree. The private high school were I attended also said this about wikipedia. Yet it recommended using Google search and Google scholar for getting the primary sources.

But you know what I've found ? It's hard to read primary sources. I tried reading up on e.g. the cell. The parts of a cell. But I've barely found any primary sources for it. Everything is in ad-filled webpages or cool academic webpages with images but no references!

Also, I think recommending Google search is bad because it tries to guess what you're searching for based on the profile they have about you! That's just so bad for getting objective information.
I had no idea intel was actually fabbing anything on the intel 4 process at this time.
Why is North at the top of the map?
> The main problem by introducing the fourth dimension in the calculation is the enormous increase of processing needs and the difficulties of selecting an adequate projecting surface.

This article was written over 10 years ago and this is no longer true. Recently I wrote a simple program which can explore the CxC space of Mandelbrot and Julia sets. I don’t know why there aren’t better visualizer which do this.
Three years? I was a highschool student 10+ years ago and back then they already didn't allow us to use Wikipedia, luckily at least we were explained that we could read thing in Wikipedia and then use the sources as our own sources.

I remember spending waay too many hours reading bout "exotic" physic topics there and then asking my teacher, who was luckily not annoyed! (or at least didn't show so)
This appears to be a Freudian slip

> The hoaxes are called "swatting," a term that refers to calls that falsely report an act of violence in progress or about to occur. They are intended to set off a massive and immediate deployment of armed law enforcement to a specific target, including SWAT teams. The results can be quite dangerous, as they were in a fatal incident in 2017, when police swatted a man in Wichita, Kansas. (emphasis added)

Edit: It also isn't clear what the author means by "originates overseas". Their facts on consistent with the final VPN hop being in Ethiopia, but their analysis assume the user was there.
This. I get a notification when it gets loaded and unloaded from a plane, and I can view the exact times it was accepted, got on a plane, got off the plane, and if it's in the right airport or not.

They're scanned every step of the way anyway. It's absolutely ridiculous for a carrier to come back with "we don't know where your bag is". Especially in 2022.
No, it is not simple at all. In fact it is not obvious and I had many issues trying to use e2ee messages on Telegram: messages fail to deliver, the same chat appears multiple times, no group secured messages.
I used to read a LOT of random Wikipedia articles in English when I was in late primary school and middle school. Might be the main activity I did that allowed me to start learning proper, academic English.

I've been doing the same now in Japanese and Interlingua (or Latin directly). And while I don't know if the truth is there, at least for daily level comprehension it's a very useful method.
Minix 3 is closest to "as good as" minus the realtime support.
Good to see. I seriously hope this was all one big mistake or something.. probably mass false reporting if so. Because if not then.. not sure what to say.
Thanks, that makes sense. I should have realized this given removing latent heat adds sensible heat.
Wikipedia is how you find a reference like The Art of Computer Programming for a given subject.
True, but still it's way better than most other sources than the general population has casual access to. Reading some of the general public magazines that include some of those topics is... an interesting experience.
That solution assumes everyone has digital skills. The people who most heavily consume medical services are usually older, poorer, disabled, and on the wrong side of the digital divide. Many people lack health literacy or even literacy. How would this scheme even handle forgotten passcodes or device theft?

Vendor lock in and giving a trillion dollar corporation the keys to your health record is a bad idea.
Adding water to the air is literally adding latent heat. That's what the term means. Point taken about how that decreases sensible heat, though, thanks.
what personal data is transferred in plaintext nowadays?

really the whole "trusted/privileged network" thing is outdated. your life will be much easier if you don't trust any network.
It's perfectly okay for you to put GPLv3 software in ROM that nobody can ever modify and then sell me the hardware. What's not okay is selling me hardware where you can modify the software after the fact, but I can't. And it's also okay for your hardware to detect if I modified the software. It just can't refuse to work if I did.
Recursive regrets can be a thing, and generally are what cause the most misery. Its a bit like being stuck in a ditch and digging it, making it near impossible to exit after a while.
Albeit that would be the way to end all wars. As humans cannot fight against superior robots. So all wars will become drone wars. And eventually all parties realize why waste time to build real robots, we can do it in CS:GO.
with history begins 1992 they are referencing books, content which is not in the web. you talk about the link quality. other problem.
Here's the thing though: this device is $139, from ali express, excluding import duties and fees. For comparison, a QSW-1108-8T-US is $169, from Amazon. Sure, that doesn't give you PoE, but realistically, you're going to be putting it pretty much near an outlet anyway so why did you think you needed PoE?

At the end of the day, these things cost the same for the features you do want, but one is QNAP and the other is "...who?"
FB definitely deserves some shade: the “move fast and break things” philosophy is real, and they’ve (we’ve) played fast-and-loose with things we didn’t fully understand, some of that ended very badly.

But as megacorps go, FB seems to have had a “come to Jesus” moment on those kinds of mistakes and done a hard pivot to a more responsible and adult posture. It was built by people barely out of childhood, certainly I was still a child when I worked there and putting a 20-something in charge of a powerful company is going to create some collateral damage. No one can say with a straight face that FB hasn’t fucked up more than once or twice.

But those kids grew up a bit, whether via altruism or pragmatism have decided to step quite a bit more carefully, and unlike 10 years ago, FB is probably closer to “don’t be evil” than Google is. It’s still a ruthless megacorp answering to shareholders, but I wouldn’t say that in 2022 it’s even close to the worst of the bunch.
Sorry, I used 'link' very liberally there, but you cleared it up. My point was that (from what I remember, it's been a few days) you'd mostly just need to recompile. As opposed to, you know, Rewrite It In Rust (TM).
I personally wish they'd revise this singular obtuse rule in favor of talking about specific processor domains. A peripheral running proprietary software, whether from ROM, flash, or loaded into RAM by a Free host, has a similar level of non-freedom. But it is ultimately still a peripheral with limited purpose and limited privilege - it does not harm my freedom in the main computing domain.

I'd say the FSF isn't so much "fighting the previous war", but rather new fronts in the war opened up and they've had a lackluster response. But there is of course much money to be made by convincing people to just give up on freedom entirely, to sell them flashy computationally-disenfranchising gadgets and services.
There's always something called as an Index fund. Which more or less tracks the top companies of a country. Unless you expect your country itself to go down, its generally a good lottery ticket to buy.

I'd say just throw in some pocket change in places where you can afford to lose. You never know as the downside is nearly 0, the upside is in millions.
> This is not a bad approach as long as you only look at your photos on a phone. If you ever print them, or look at them on a monitor, they won't measure up.

And you never really know which photo will turn out so nice you later want to print it. Someone taking photos only on their phone won't have that option.

In the wall behind me I have a 4-foot wide print of a photo I took on vacation. It's a crop of a section of the photo that later (a few years later) I realized would make for a great print on the wall. Glad I took it with the DSLR, so a cropped section printed out to 4 feet looks stunning.
Isn’t that where the skirball center is?
For the "unconscious patient in the emergency room without a working phone" situations, put an RFID tag or a printed QR code in the hospital admission armband, then the doctor / nurse can scan it to enter records from their own device.

Those records go onto the hospital's / practice's server, then when the patient wakes up / next of kin arrives and they find / charge their phone, they enroll by an app that generates a private key on the device, then shows the public key in QR code form. Nurse scans the QR code on their device and signs off on a dialog box that says "Yes I verified the person with this phone has the right to this patient's records," then the server lets the app authenticate and get the records.

The API should be open source so if you want your records, you can hack some JSON, sign an API request with your private key and download it (maybe with jigdo or rsync or something if it's huge X-rays and 3D CAT scans and stuff?). A third party app can put it on your phone for you, but hopefully there will be regulatory stuff that tries to make barriers to consolidation to encourage the system to remain federated.

I.e. regulations should try to make sure your medical history stays within the offices of primary physician / specialist / hospital where you're a patient, and your phone's local storage. But we really don't want some "too big to fail" medical data startup putting ten million people's medical records in one AWS bucket.
While the hardware can be the same, reputable brands can still have different firmware/software. Maybe not for a switch like this, but definitely for a router or something like that.
I have to agree. I saw FSF members argue with uutils coreutils [0] developers about having their project licensed under MIT. And for no good reason, they started attacking the project and the people behind it.

I was a big fan of FSF until that point.

You can always contact her again :) if you still care about her, let her know!
Marriage is that fruit, which those who never tasted- long for it, and those who taste it- repent it.

I almost got a Tenure Track position at a Data Science Faculty in Virginia and I think them not having a HPC was the single issue that blew this move (from both sides). During interviews, I was asking the dean how they set up their HPC - turned out, they hadn't. I then asked a Professor in the next review round how they teach their students without a HPC:

> "I buy all resources on AWS - it's painfull because I have to contact AWS almost monthly for accidental over-billing, but we don't have a solution".

All of this made me really sceptical, since coming from a big University in Germany, we have unlimited HPC resources for free. I have 16 VMs, the biggest one 125 GB Memory, I can set those up or move around how I want. No space limitations - in need 10 TB of space for 3 month? Open a service ticket, 3 hours later it's available. Ports need to be opened worldwide to the web? No problem. Need a Jupyter Hub Cluster on Kubernetes? Here you go. This has really improved my work (quality, performance, and convenience) so much.

I was once coordinator of a research project where we had 30k EUR left and didn't know what to do with it. I contacted our HPC and asked if they want the money - answer: "30k really isn't worth the effort, we don't know what to do with it atm."
I've heard similar claims for excimer lamps but I'd still prefer not to stand under one.

It's still a great thing if it's even just safer than the usual 254nm ones, if it allows for designs with brief incidental exposure.
