Seconded - one big win with Just Press Record is you can add it as a complication on an Apple Watch, so you can hit a button anywhere you are, leave a voice memo, and it's transcribed and on all your iCloud devices.
Except Motorola (now owned by Lenovo and claims closest to default Android) most of the Chinese phones still come with their own bloatware. Xiaomi has many default apps including their own Messaging, file manager, dialer.

Some of these apps are good to have while others are just bloat.

Nothing stops you from operating a business at full personal liability. As a worker, I would never do this, but you can do it yourselves without coercing me into supporting the existence of liability-shielding legal entities with more power than ordinary humans.

See how you can kinda do that with anything, so it's not very convincing?
lol. For every person doing it blatantly, there must be more people doing it quietly? Like letting a friend of a friend in another state/country trade on the info? Are there ways to track these trades too?

I think the key challenge to blood spatter analysis is not that there's no way it could be valid, it's that so far, it's based primarily on unsupported assumptions and statements. Those assumptions may well be correct, but the hard physics behind it has not been done yet, it's been just folks saying 'well I'm very clever and this is what I think'.
"We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country."

Which sounds miles from 'have no basis in evidence'. So that might have been a little hyperbolic.

> Your devs shouldn't be required to do all of the actual ops stuff. They need access to an ops platform.

This becomes a lot more apparent once you're dealing with B2B customers and their nonfunctional requirements.

We've had situations in-house when devs built some simple microservice to handle some connection to a customers BI/DWH system - it's just 2 days of spring boot chugging to wrangle APIs around without state, nothing bad. But then, the customer started blasting that team with SLAs, backup questions like RTO, RPO, retention, regulation adherence of retention, the whole stack of IT security down to the physical access control.. That poor PO was caught just like a deer in the headlights.

This is some operational responsibility we're taking over for our dev-teams. We're providing the persistence, and this includes a defined backup and recovery strategy, a security strategy and such. And this also includes experience in dealing with these insane questionaires, and correctly pricing absurd requirements for custom backup solutions. And in fact, "we will have to schedule a discussion with ops about this" has ended quite a few of these requirements with "oh.. it's not that important". Intimidation with long job titles and appeals to external authority do work.

You're exactly right, it's frustrating that there's a particular brand of technophilic tankie who loves to talk up Soviet computing and denies how much of it was based on stolen devices and schematics.
That was the same impression I got when I saw the light patterns pictured in the article. I had to slow down a second to "figure out" what I was looking at.

The study claims that "improved lighting could result in other motorists being able to see motorcycles up to 0.8 seconds sooner."

Even this might be related to the fact that you are seeing something new and strange. If something "surprising" happens when I'm driving, my attention is instantly snapped to it, and my foot is at least on the brake pedal, if not actively braking.

With that in mind, I wonder if the benefit from a new lighting design might fade over time as the novelty wore off.
I find that hearing people talk about their experiences with ADHD really damaged my initial outlook on the disorder. I have it too, and to be honest, I kind of expected a panacea by how people -- even professionals -- talk about treatment.

According to various sources, ADHD is the single most treatable psychiatric condition. But I guess what I expected from treatment, and what technically constitutes as treatment were misaligned.
This may differ by locale, but this is (or, can be) an extension of motorcycles being relatively rare. In my normal driving, I see about 3 a week and usually not even having to negotiate the road with them. They're just passing by or present in some other lane doing some other thing that requires little action from me. From that perspective, it's unusual/rare that I find myself negotiating a lane change around a motorcycle or turning in front of. Again, further expand that to when I do find myself in a situation where it's dark and I'm turning and I see a light - it's usually my 3rd/4th/5th thought of "what is that?" before I realize it; even when completely undistracted. I usually act defensively and pause to give my brain a moment to catch up rather than pulling out in front of something I haven't recognized yet but this level of attention and behavior is very easy to lapse even by the best intentioned drivers. It's not a great approach to expect everyone else to be a perfect driver at all times.
The point of TFA is that this is one of the many mergers that should be rejected by regulators.
a cool thing you can do with MagicDNS: Set your "global nameserver" to a host within your tailnet and run your own resolver accessible "anywhere".

It's easy enough to set up pi-hole.net on a machine on your LAN and configure your home router to hand out DHCP records that will instruct LAN machines to use it, but if I wanted to have DNS-based ad-blocking at the coffee shop or library or elsewhere I previously had my pi-hole listening on a public IPv4's port 53 and deal with resolve.conf etc... and boy howdy does running an internet-accessible DNS resolver suck! My server would receive millions of requests, weird reflection attacks like [1], probes, the whole nine, it made the dashboarding useless for personal tracking.

But now my pi-hole only listens on my LAN network and its tailnet address, and any machine connected to the tailnet including my phone will use the pi-hole without configuration on any network via MagicDNS.

I think the best fix I've heard is that their trades need to be digitally announced immediately (within a few minutes of execution).

There are currently fines for not reporting that often get waived. Even if they did make the fines legit, it becomes very difficult to track & indict them for tipping off friends or non-family members unless it's a very large amount worth many millions.

Though to counter this argument the article mentions a few cases. North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr was not mentioned but he is still being investigated for what seemed like very obvious trading based on knowledge gained & tipping off family members.

Alabama Sen. Tuberville is another good one to watch for trades in my opinion. He's very active. Last year he put out some big tech puts on MSFT that were very OTM (out of the money) for the spring of this year.

Rep. Pelosi is overrated a bit in my opinion but is often the joke of these talks. Her husband Paul (a VC) most likely does all the trading & he seems to have just benefitted from using calls on stocks that are already ITM (in the money) & far dated. He's probably not a good person to use if you're working in tech in my opinion as your job & personal knowledge probably make you overweight in tech risks. Anyone mentioning Pelosi should also probably not be considered knowledgeable on this subject since she's 99% of the noise on it & very little substance.

- Edit -
It should be noted, anyone frequenting investment forums probably made a lot of these Covid trades before the dates many of these senators did. Not defending the senators but also the Covid thing was gaining a lot of traction in January & February. Many senators & reps didn't trade on it until March.
>> <sigh> there's a lot of similar comments to this one.

> <sigh> and a lot of similar rebuttals to this one.

My point is that a lot of people don't seem to understand the 'why' of this issue and instead appeared to just jump to the conclusion that:

> It's exactly the same difficulty.

When that's not at all the case.

> using JS for client-side probing, and if Cloudflare is indeed injecting arbitrary JS into HTML pages it serves then that's utterly horrifying and is a problem in and of itself.

Well they are. From CF:

>> Cloudflare’s bot products include JavaScript detections via a lightweight, invisible code injection that honors Cloudflare’s strict privacy standards

But even before we consider that, if the request is for html then it's likely coming from a browser. If CF replaces that html with their own then the browser will likely run it allowing them to run all kinds of probes then run the redirect. The same is not true for a .txt file or an image.
> I'd wager the best programmer on the planet will have a <50% success rate at leetcode-style interviews

This made me wonder, is it true? I've often stumbled on LC tests, in ways that I (funnily enough) wouldn't have failed myself for. Off-by-ones, went down the wrong path initially but found the right one and ran out of time, that kind of thing. I suppose it depends on where you set the bar.

What are people's experiences? The worst cases for me is when it's an ambush. Talking about architecture or experience and then suddenly the guy wants a DP solution in python.

Somehow when it's just been a test with no person there, I've actually done fine on it. Having the person there in the interview throws me off. They take me down the wrong path, or they get impatient. I did 4 online questions in an hour once, then I thought I was through to a human being, and instead the guy didn't want to put any effort into interviewing me at all, started doing other work, no feedback or anything on a question I hadn't seen.

I've heard that some people just go nuts with the Leetcode. Hundreds of questions done. I've never thought it was a great use of time since there's always more questions you haven't seen, but I wonder how good the return on effort is there.

Fascism is the idea that the nation (and the race) of a people is more important than any individual member of the people. A fascist would say bureaucracy only implies a lack of power. Private property is the opposite of the textbook definition of fascism - private ownership is literally the idea that EVERY SINGLE individual is more important than the nation.

The fascist answer is to consolidate more power in a single political body. This would, indeed, make toilets cheaper to build. I would suggest that the polar opposite of that would also make toilets cheaper to build. The real question should be: how cheap should toilets be to build, and what is it about "fairness" that makes things so expensive?

Every time I click on one of these articles, I expect to find some individual stock trading related to specific companies on the receiving end of government action. However, when it ends up being vague examples of officials buying and selling broad-market or S&P index funds, it's much harder to see where the "insider trading" angle comes from. Especially when we have examples of officials trading in March, a full month after the viral panic had already spread through even public forums like Twitter.

The line needs to be drawn somewhere, and I'm not convinced that forbidding public officials from buying and selling generic index and mutual funds is really that big of a concern, IMO.

Now if someone can find evidence of government officials buying something like Moderna stock ahead of the FDA approval, then by all means let's prosecute with stiff consequences.
How would a six figure fine help? If I made 125k for a few mins of insider trading work, and I get fined 100k, I still made 25k profit, right?
There are two kinds of problematic trading by members of Congress:

1. Straight-up insider trading. Buying or selling shares in individual stocks based on inside information. This is flagrantly illegal [1].

There are bills seeking to go further, banning the trading of individual stocks by Congressmen [2]. While we have limited evidence of this being a widespread problem, it's a good measure for public trust purposes.

But this article is not about that! It's about:

2. Insider trading on indices. This is also illegal! The FBI subpoenaed a sitting Congressman's phone [3] when investigating concerns around this. But absent an incriminating text or e-mail, it's difficult to convince a jury the sales were made because of insider information versus because they felt like selling that day.

Fortunately, this is an old problem with an old solution: 10b5-1 plans [4]. These are not without issue [5]. But given the power and insider access a sitting Congressman has relative to most public company CEOs, it makes sense to implement. To my knowledge, nobody has suggested a 10b5-1 analogue for public officials.

OpenRCT2: Open-source implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 with new features
greetings fellow traveler. I am also a big fan of openbsd for home router/firewall. Been running it since the early 2000s.

I've gone through a lot of hardware in that time. From an old dec alpha (kernel panic'd often) to only x86 these days.

In recent years I've started to use these low-cost, fanless, intel machines from aliexpress. They're usually pretty great. Recently I upgraded (ServeTheHome's reviews were very helpful!) from a box I got in 2018 from aliepxress that had 6x 1gbe ports to a newer box with 2.5gbe since my fiber ISP has 10gbe ports right now (and there are no cheap, fanless, low-power intel boxes with 10gig nic's). Specifically a Celeron N5105 (N6005 was not available earlier this year, so I canceled and ordered N5105) with 4x 2.5gbe nic's, this one[1] from Topton, though I believe other vendors on aliexpress are all selling basically the same thing.

The unit works pretty well, however, I noticed with OpenBSD 7.0 and 7.1 that one CPU core was constantly pegged at 100% servicing interrupts. Running `top -S` showed the acpi kernel thread was the culprit, and `systat` showed `acpi0` as the source of interrupts. The box worked fine and could route (with NAT and filtering) the full 2.5gbps internet connection fine, but it would run hotter and probably use more electricity than needed.

I enabled ACPI_DEBUG which did not make for a usable box at all due to the amount of debug prints being generated but it was enough to verify the interrupt spam coming from the ACPI GFE _L6F handler. A google search shows this is not particularly uncommon and is due to buggy motherboard firmware. Both Linux and FreeBSD have a way to disable interrupts on a live system. OpenBSD does not however. And FWIW, I booted an opnsense live CD based on FreeBSD and this interrupt storm was not happening. So I assume FreeBSD may have seen this particular bug or just happens to handle it already. This box should be fine with any of the FreeBSD based OS's. Which is often bundled on these firewalls you buy from aliexpress.

The usual fix for these interrupt storms from buggy BIOS's is an eventual fix from the vendor. In this case though I don't expect to ever seen a BIOS update for this box, and there really is not a website to go download one from anyway. The vendor on aliexpress assured me that if they ever release a new BIOS that they would tell me. I doubt this will ever happen.

In any case, I have "solved" the issue finally with a small kernel patch I found on the excellent openbsd mailing lists. The issue in that case was different, older hardware, but the symptoms were the same.

Long story short I am posting all of this here so that if someone else runs across this same issue they will be able to resolve it much faster than I was.

I recently discovered the "Remix" urban design tool that lets users redesign existing streets and intersections like an IRL Cities Skylines. It's brilliant.

https://www.remix.com

I came across it when someone on a local subreddit shared a redesign of an intersection, I was blown away with the results.

Unfortunately, it appears to be enterprise only at the moment. I'm genuinely shocked they don't have a hobbyist-level free / cheap tier—I'd wager that there are thousands of urban design enthusiasts who would love to use this thing.

OP, you should reach out and see if you can collaborate with them.
