Same way Twitter is going to go under Elon. These companies are massive cash generating machines, that ultimately burn it all on excessive and unnecessary expenses.

They've built a great and popular product, be content with that and run it like a real business rather than an incubator of failed ideas
I'm not too sure of any exact requirements, I've got like 7 devices that qualify as HomeKit hubs in my HomeKit house so I can't easily test that for you. Can you see the camera in HomeKit, it's just not doing the recording and notifications?
Yes and no. It's sort of a cul de sac for cars, but it's permeable to walking and biking.
I think you've badly misunderstood what's going on here. SHA-2 includes SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256. Six functions. Of these SHA-256 and SHA-512 are subject to the length extension attack (and SHA-224 only has 32-bit worth of safety which is clearly inadequate). Since you probably only needed a 256-bit hash, SHA-512/256 is a choice available today which produces a 256-bit hash without the possibility of length extension.

Length extension works because the hash is the entire internal hash function state. This is not true for SHA-224, SHA-384, SHA-512/224 or SHA-512/256 since for these four functions not all of the internal state is exposed.

No, the length is not included at the start of the data to be hashed, this would mean committing to entire input before we hash it, which is a pretty unsatisfactory API, the length is appended (with the padding).
I wonder if using tools like https://communitycrimemap.com would help with city design.
Just off the glances I've made: Most crimes happen in easily accessible areas with clear getaway routes, almost no crimes happen at the center cul de sac of a neighbourhood.
For those of us not in the know, what happened to Kim Brooks? My search throws up nothing and I'm questioning the wiki page being about the same person you are talking about ...
iirc most motorcycle safety coaches will advise that the horn is usually the last thing you should be thinking about in a dangerous situation. It's a great tool for proactively getting someone's attention, but in an emergency the motorcyclist should focus all of their energy on maneuvering to safety regardless of how the car behaves. Motorcycles are maneuverable enough that generally if you have time to honk you have time to be proactive about your own safety rather than rely on the driver hearing you.

If you're able to focus on both that's great but most riders fall back onto instinct and that instinct should be braking, accelerating, or turning rather than honking.
> extremely off consumer monitors are...

I'm not sure what consumer monitors you're using, but they are certainly not "extremely off". You're making it sound like shades of green on the iPad turn into muddy brown on a monitor, which isn't true.
Chiming in to day I would also participate in this order. I have a farm and would love to automate aspects of my irrigation and have been looking for something like this. This in combination with soil temperature would be very beneficial.
Cui bono?

Actually, does anyone know a more appropriate latin phrase?
So your point is that removing the speedometer from your car and then claiming "I didn't know I was driving too fast!" will make it somehow not your responsibility?

It is still your responsibility to know and obey the traffic laws, the same as it is your responsibility to obey the copyright laws....
I read the article and found it kind of strange. from what I understand is that they gave giant pandas (a bear that doesn't eat meat) a choice between high protein or high carb diet, that they choose high carbs and then concluded feeding bears high protein diet is killing them. Now they did also find that in 5 Chinese zoos that did give the pandas high carb diets that they had giant pandas that successfully reproduced.

It seems to me generalizing Giant Pandas to all bears is probably not a safe generalization, nor does this necessarily show that it gave the giant pandas longer lives. I think that the giant pandas are seemingly more ready to mate is good evidence, but there could be other variables explaining that.
could be an interesting feature to have as party of a Knowledge Management system like Roamresearch or Obsidian.

Even if you don't buy the argument of turnkey tyranny (the above concept), it is also important to remember that nothing is unhackable. So if you're the "well I trust X" or "what is X going to do with it, sell me ads?" type, you should also question "What ,,could'' my enemies do with this data?" (Foreign or domestic. State sponsored or run of the mill hacker)

While governments can be the most egregious abusers of this data, they aren't the only ones that can abuse the data. We have hundreds of reports about cops stalking their (current and former) partners, hackers blackmailing high profile people (including politicians), and plenty of reports about how nation states use this data to influence your countrymen. You may be immune (you aren't) but is everyone else?

I think pigeon holing this conversation to governments is wrong. There's a whole laundry list of potential problems with data collection like this and checking off any item on the list is generally enough to be against this type of policy. For example, I don't think anyone wants a national repository of children's IP addresses. That's not only valuable to nation state actors (who want to influence the next generation), but also pedophiles.

With intentions to protect children you end up actually putting them in more danger. We should HIDE children's personal data rather than gather it. But the only way to do that is to hide everyone's data.

Edit: I do believe in turnkey tyranny. I'm just saying that the argument isn't effective to everyone (as time has shown). I'm saying that when you run into these people don't keep talking about turnkey tyranny, shift your argument to one of the other many issues to choose from. One of them will (likely) be something they care about and use that as the baseline for your argument. If you keep arguing something that someone doesn't care about then I'm not sure how you all expect to convince anyone. Our exclusively turnkey arguments have been ineffective, let's adopt a better strategy.
Each of the services you mentioned have much better constraints (distance to travel, pages to read, components to replace, etc)

They also all suffer from estimation issues in practice. Luckily these constraints set a limit on how much a competent professional can underestimate the project.

If you're asking someone to install or update some software they've installed before on a similar system, they should be able to give you a solid estimate. This has parallels with many of the services you mentioned.

If you're asking them to research, develop and test entirely new components, which is the basis of software engineering (an engineer does more than install and update packages), you should be able to understand why this is different than delivering food.
I deleted my LinkedIn long ago after they pushed to become some “thought leadership” social media Frankenstein
No, but it's usually the unsaid implication when stating that certain opinions, ideas, or media outlets are threats to democracy and "we need to do something". Perhaps instead of arresting, it's fining, or silencing, or some other method of enforcement. Regardless, the counter-argument remains the same.

That might be why it's still supported.

There is unlikely ever to be a perfect, but a getting better by constraining behavior that breaks things. Throw all of the compile-time, profiling, checked builds, and binary-level tools at projects for defense-in-depth and checklists, no matter the platform or the application. Fuzzing, valgrind, gperftools, dtrace, {[amt],ub}san, etc. and formal methods like seL4 if you can afford the investment. :>

Forgot where it is, but I remember reading a study in which gradually-sweeter water was given to kids of different ages. A clear trend emerged: water became too sweet quicker for older kids. For infants, the water saturated before they stopped drinking.
Unlikely.

Most Twitter employees (like people everywhere) go there to earn a living and as long as employment conditions remain acceptable they'll sign whatever management ask them to.

In particular if it's a meaningless broad statement such as "commitment to free speech and 1st amendment".

Most people there don't have anything to do with policy enactment or enforcement so why would they care (case in point those other companies, you mentioned which also retained their workforces).

If the real consequence is a work culture in which bullying and harassment is sanctioned (or even encouraged) by management THEN people will leave because it's unpleasant to work in such an environment.

The ones remaining won't necessarily be your high performers
Well, first, licensure imposes a risk on pulling this cut and run game. Namely, your license could easily be revoked by the same authorities who granted it in the same state the act took place in.

Second, bonding requirements would have given us a sum of money from which we could have recovered what we lost. Again, money in Florida, for us to go after in Florida courts for the scam that took place in Florida.

Any promises about whether a judgment in Tampa would allow potential victims to get ahold of this guy's money in Texas? Or whether his pulling a scam like this would cause his license to be revoked there?
yeah but if you fire 5500 there's little hope that the 2k you keep are the right 2k. nor are they likely to stick around to see things through
Fun fact! There are just 9,110 named virus species as of 2021. But there are estimates that mammals and birds may have as many as 1.7 million undiscovered viruses. An older source says there were ~200 some known viruses that could infect humans as of 2013. They estimate there are 800k unknown ones which could infect us. Basically every time they look for viruses, they find new ones.
I had this problem when managing a company's page. No real tools exist to prune these people, and it just ends up a mess. I was working for a sports team, and we'd have fans list themselves as employees ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If EU Rev is measured in USD, it being down could be currency differences.
So the basic lie here is the cost for the full process vs the cost for the actual construction.

This is just a small part of the ongoing and very popular conspiracy theory that all progressive government is actually an insane plot to destroy American society, if not human civilization.

> Double blind? Consider e.g. knowledge the Fed is planning on raising interest rates before the public has it. That affects the market as a whole, so they could short sp500 and have a leg up on us regular folks.

No, that's not how that would work. You'd treat it the same way that you do with executives owning stock but having insider knowledge. All of their transfers are done on a schedule and changes to the schedule have to be done in advance.
If you want to connect to multiple endpoints, use the ACLs. That's what they are there for. Multiple identities at once are a sign that something has gone terribly wrong in your organization's ability to manage access, and if it hasn't gone wrong yet it will.
There's a premium to be paid either way. If you live out in the burbs, the premium is that transportation costs are usually much higher (you generally need one car per adult, and you drive quite a bit). Sometimes there's also a premium in terms of time, depending on commute or how often you want to go to events or things located in the city.

When our family of three was living on the outskirts of Munich, our local transportation costs were low, since we used transit + bikes (including an electric cargo bike) to get around. It was much cheaper than even having one car like we did/do in the states.
Snap's journey has been such a rollercoaster.

Facebook offered $4B for the tiny photo sharing app back in 2013, and people were calling Evan Spiegel crazy for turning it down.

By mid 2016 the company was worth $20B in private markets, and Evan was a genius.

Google then offered to buy it for $30B, and was turned down as well. Evan was crazy again.

Snap IPO'd at a $25B market cap in early 2017, fell to $6B in a couple years, and then rose to ~$130 billion in late 2021, right before the tech downturn.

Today the company is worth $13B after its latest earnings report.
I live in the city and come across human feces daily.

I've been thinking a lot about this, and after going through a year long process of trying to get the city (actually the port authority) to simply lock a dumpster at night as they say they do but don't actually.

SF in particular seems to look for fancy big expensive flashy solutions to problems rather than look to other cities who have solved the issue in a simple "KISS" approach.

In the example of the unlocked dumpsters which were and are a serious public health hazard (people and raccoons go though it every night and drag the trash all over the waterfront and immediate area) I kept calling the port just asking them to lock them at night. They said thos was already happening, but clearly wasn't. We went back and forth for months but I got nowhere. The port kept telling me they they got new big Belly Trash Cans and have asked to build a new dumpster enclosure. All that was 2 years ago and the dumpsters still sit open today. All I was asking for was for them to lock the dumpsters they said they were already locking, with the lock that's already on the dumpster. It's not a "build a new building" or buy expensive things problem. It's a simple people doing their job as promised problem.

Back to this. I've been thinking of starting a non profit that distributes 5 gallon buckets with toilet lids on them (they make them for camping, like this: https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Toilet-Seat-Proof-Waste/dp/B07N...)

A non profit that distributed these throughout the city, then picked them up every few days would do far more good than any of these other efforts I've seen proposed by the city. The problem is its not sexy, interesting or newsworthy, it's just work. Working with a startup or design team to yet again invent another solution is, so that's why the people in power do that. Not because its better.
Do mock interviews and get feedback.

Look at good interviewers and take tips.

It never hurts to: Be right. Be humble. Be polite. Be practiced. Be introspective. Be experienced.

Ultimately you’re meant to go where you’re meant to go. You need one job. There’s a huge dearth of talent.

Rejections can be exhausting, take time to find an outlet for the stress and anxiety - strong exercise is a good one.
It's premature to claim these "AI" models are equivalent to a human memorizing lyrics to copyrighted songs. They're much closer to XOR'ing copyrighted works so that the encoded form is not casually recognizable. I don't have sources close to hand, but I seem to recall during the 00's reading about such schemes being regularly proposed and also regularly struck down, legally.

From a high level both things consist of putting copyrighted bits in a digital blender, producing a mixture unlike the originals but which, if you prod it the right way, can be induced to reproduce some parts of the (copyrighted) input. I'm not sure calling it AI makes it (legally) different. What is the argument here - that previous schemes just didn't blend the bits enough?
Why should me, as the owner, be unable to fire people trying to unionize? If someone doesn't like a job they can leave. The union is anti-freedom - it restricts what I am able to do with my property (my business).

You might probably be right but its nevertheless amusing the way statistics can render things banal in a weird way
> You're not going to beat the reliability by going inhouse.

OP was talking about observability and diagnosability. These will be infinitely better/easier with access to the hardware & OS.

But on reliability, if you keep your stack simple and boring, you can pretty easily also beat them on reliability. Complexity is the top enemy of reliability (and security).

It took a while but this will be the end of TT.

For anyone who has used TT, you can understand very quickly how this is a military grade weapon.
The problem is the same as always - automated bullshit black-holing instead of thoughtful review and constructive communication a human could do. Perhaps the latter is impossible (or maybe this is another bullshit) for companies with userbases this huge but do we really need such in the first place?
Do you like...not believe in the idea of power efficiency? Heterogeneous SoCs are one of the biggest reasons why we can have incredibly powerful smartphones that still last all day—you can't run the big cores at full throttle all the time because they just use too much power.
I see it another way: govts want money. They steal it from the work of people and profitable companies. I came to the cornclusion that beyond that, they do not care.

Of course, they need excuses. But their motivation is not the excuses. With war it also happens the same. I do not know who said that, but someone well-known once said: for a war you need two things, one is the real reason and the other is the excuse to make it happen.
If you use uBlock Origin I recommend exploring the preferences, it has a whole category of filters called "annoyances" which is disabled by default, among others.

For me NeoVim is great because it has zero distractions and clutter. It just does nothing by itself and doesn't try to proactively "help" me. I try to apply similar standards to the rest, with varying success. Muting browser tabs is nice, though I wish I could set it on a timer - I like to forget unmuting things.

I think Kanban boards work better for me than todo lists, or rather they have a better chance at working at all. Might be due to the smooth drag and drop of the tasks once I'm done.
I use GarageBand with AudioUnits on my iPad all the time. It works pretty well, though they do make the AudioUnits hard to find. Obviously it doesn't have all the features of Logic (which I also use on my Mac Pro), but it's surprisingly good. And, you can take stuff from GB into Logic later if you want to punch it up or do something that's not possible on the iPad.
A good chunk of the IP cameras have user-exposed pins that can send events when the circuit is closed, as well as detect if a circuit is open (NC/NO circuits). IIRC they are intended to detect if a door is open or closed.

I'm not sure if they are polling those contacts fast enough for 'normal' doorbell use, but it's there ...
>System wide function keys (play, pause, volume up, etc.) that work everywhere

What's so special about it? The only difference between my Asus with Linux, and Mac in this regard is that on Mac I have to use touch stripe which is inferior experience compared to physical keys.

I also see no discernible difference in many other things you mention like wifi stability.
Often these moisture sensors (and other sensors here) can have high rates of error. Just something to keep in mind if you use it in a professional setting. But if they are cheap enough you can probably normalize out the variance and get a better reading.
Cynical engineers are required to believe in it because it's 1. "the opposite of the current thing" 2. contains more rationality than the other leading hypothesis (i.e. more of what happened was planned, rather than an accident) 3. and lets them blame a person rather than a bat.

An ironically fitting end for them would be that it is true, they get all similar research banned, and then the next virus is zoonotic and nobody is prepared for it due to not doing any research.

edit: added "ironically"
Obviously because of the great pixel shortage of 2022.

There are entire superfreighters anchored off the Port of Los Angeles and in the Strait of Malacca, loaded to the max with containers of pixels that should be on your screen. Factories have suspended shifts and laid off workers because there's nowhere for new pixels to go.
And yet it's still valued at 4x sales with ~0% revenue growth and unprofitable
I think this is a really common misconception around Barcelona's superblocks.

When people hear "Barcelona superblock", I think they're thinking of the individual city blocks which to be fair, are already huge and modular. (this is at least the confusion I originally had)

The idea with superblocks, is to take a cluster of city blocks and not allow through traffic in that block, instead guiding that traffic to flow around the perimeter of that cluster. Nothing here requires the city blocks to be built or look the way Barcelona's city blocks are built and look. All that's required is changes to the roads, and to try and encourage each cluster of blocks to have a mostly self sufficient set of amenities like a grocery store, cafe, etc.

In unicode art, if □ is a city Block surrounded by roads (-- and |) being used by traffic,

|_|
‾|□|‾
‾|‾|‾

then a 3x3 area of these blocks would look like

_|_|_|_|_
|□|□|□|
‾|□̅|□̅|□̅|‾
‾|□̅|□̅|□̅|‾
‾|‾|‾|‾|‾

However, a superblock would look like this:

_|_|_|_|_
|□ □ □|
‾|□ □ □|‾
‾|□ □ □|‾
‾|‾|‾|‾|‾

where the inside area is not easily accessible to car traffic. The structure of the block □ itself, doesn't actually matter.
A new social media website just for gardeners
Hi,

I just launched my social media website a couple of days ago and i was wondering what you guys think about it. The website is called www.gardenerplanet.com and it's an online community where gardeners from all over the world can share plant information with each other in very unique ways.

Gardenerplanet.com has a host of innovative features that you won't find on any other garden community website. One such feature is the social planting calendar that lets users create a localized planting calendar that's based on plant information collected by other gardeners who live nearby. It enables people to create a relevant planting calendar for almost any location on earth.

This unique way of creating a planting calendar is only one of the many features that the website gardenerplanet.com has to offer. I would like to invite you all to take a look on my website and tell me what you think about it.

For a more indepth explanation on gardenerplanet.com you can also read an article i've posted on medium.com. You can find this article here: https://medium.com/p/aee818b7728
In the article i explain in detail what gardenerplanet is all about and which problems it solves for gardeners.
I don't know. To me, it's like arguing that cannabis is relatively safe to consume and has health benefits. Completely sails past (and loses by default) the argument of personal autonomy. By shifting the discussion away from turnkey tyranny, we're admitting, at least for the moment, a defeat in that argument.
It's already a bunch of bots.

Also, at the rate his politics are changing, he's definitely going to replatform people at a prime level
