I haven't watched season 4 yet, after the first season it doesn't really fall into 'must see tv' anymore, where I'd bother to tune in on a weekly basis. It must be a minority opinion, but similarly, I hated season 2, and actually thought season 3 was a fun watch. I think viewed as a totally different, and not-so-serious sci-fi action series, it was okay.
A lot of people here are annoyed by this behavior(rightly so), but the reality is that a lot of supporters take these bites of info and run for miles with it. This isn't just governments either, you'll see 20 minute trash videos on YouTube that extrapolate upon one data point into a "this is why the world is collapsing" thing just to get a few million views.
>Why is scanning web servers for vulnerabilities bad? //

Not the OP.

I think it's fine in general with one big proviso, that they change the law first to make it lawful.

With a different government it would look more benevolent, with the current government growing ever-more fascist--having now found a surreptitious way to ditch the ECHR, for example--it gets somewhat worrying.
It's interesting that you agree with the assessment that a leader of a country isn't responsible for the windfalls from previous administrations, but ...

Then you're associating the new leader of a corporation with windfalls from previous administrations.

Is there though? I’m not sure Twitter was really even trying. Or if that was the result of them trying, that’s pretty sad.

I don’t think there’s a difference between “we say we’re trying and are completely incompetent” and whatever Twitter is doing now.
But the bulk of the response to COVID (what hackyhacky is arguing) did not happen under the current administration, so wouldn't be due to their policies (what TimTheTinker is arguing).
It doesn't feel like a recession but something is wrong. Our "go hard, go early" approach to covid meant we avoided a lot of tragedy but the govt printed that money. Now we're having an inflation shock leading to an interest rate shock. The shrinkflation is insidious when the packaging hasn't changed.
The thing is, unemployment is so low, it's like the whole country is running to stand still.

blue anon - you know those brainwashed radicals that say government and SV has all the solutions.
I agree with you on this - I love being able to speak my mind without too much thought into building social credibility by having a comprehensive history of posts. It's an unnecessary barrier to attempt to require "credibility" to be able to contribute, most people here are in tech, and the quality of discussion is honestly pretty high compared to MANY other sites.

Implementing any barriers towards communication will incentivize people to be agreeable or not speak their full mind, if they have to reach a certain karma threshold or tie it to an easily traceable identity.

Moderation is pretty good here from my experience, and it's an excellent place to get information from others without worrying about the identity of whom you are engaging with. Honestly a breath of fresh air keeping it more old school than modern social media platforms.
I've had two fairly detailed, not low-effort, reviews not approved for publication on Amazon.co.uk recently. After the first I swore I'd never bother again (it was pretty high-effort to be honest, relatively) but something got the better of me.

Neither time has there been any indication of what the problem is (I guessed the first one was my reference to a 'knob', as in for turning, which the product had - but couldn't find any such similar Scunthorpe in the second) and even if they did give you some idea, they invite you to start again from scratch - not edit it, it's not saved, not even your photos. I'd love to see click-through metrics on that, does anyone bother?
I feel like a lot of repliers missed my middle paragraph? Or maybe don't know what I mean by "very pointy questions about their conversion rate"?

In the short and medium term there's no hope of covering their previous revenue with an $8/mo plan. Long term is murkier, because it includes questions about what other services they may provide for that.

Cutting expenses and growing revenues is at least moving those two things in the right direction but it remains to be seen whether they can bridge the gap. Were we having this discussion in 2018 I'd now say something about how the market seems to be willing to let those gaps go, but here in late 2022 heading into 2023 that's a much harder argument to make.

Then again, for the same reason, a case could be made that Twitter was in trouble regardless. Stock price was already on its way down. It is not clear that there is a solution, period. There is no guarantee that Twitter can exist, recognizable as what we currently think of as "Twitter", without investors willing to close their eyes and imagine what could be, rather than opening their eyes and seeing what is. There is no guarantee that social networks at scale can function on their real revenues, in an environment without effectively 0%-interest funny money. Especially if a recession also starts lowering the ad budgets of other companies. There are some significant diseconomies of scale as you try to scale up one centralized "community", and I remain not entirely convinced this is actually a viable market niche.
Yup. When I worked in “secret” level security, we’d often have an email circulation from “someone I can’t name” about potential vulnerabilities in software “I’m not allowed to talk about”.

But, at least at some level, this is true.

I think that has more to do with the fact that most scientists are not trained programmers! Plus a lot of data analysis work doesn't lend itself to the same style of programming IMO.

While there could be more effort in getting things like library versions out there a lot of journals don't care so there's no pressure on scientists to provide it.
Is not my model it's an observation. If you don't raise prices after hurricane or earthquake you run out, which is what usually happens. This is what happened at the start of COVID with masks and hand sanitizer. It is profiteering. Read your country's local news to see if anything was done about it at the time, in mine nothing was.
> It's also ok to be yourself, and not try to 'fix' yourself.

Society is very clear that it is not okay with this. If I'm "just myself" then I wouldn't be able to hold down a job and survive.

> Medicate always as a last resort

We shouldn't be so hesitant to medicate. It can be extremely useful, especially in combination with other management techniques. This stigma against medication hurts people.
Banks can do that? Or they do do that?

I've never seen this happen.

Canada doesn't have the concept of fixed-rate mortgages like in the US though, which is where the rate is fixed for the entire life of the mortgage. What you are describing is an adjustable-rate mortgage with an initial 5 year fixed-rate term, which in the US would be called a 5/1 ARM.

I found that season two had the same problem that a lot of nexflix-style shows run into. The first season was a heavily crafted narrative of interconnected stories. I remember when I first watched it I described it as a puzzle box. It was always a few steps ahead of the viewer. But the second season didn't have any of the intrigue. It felt like the pacing of the plot was delayed without payoff. Instead of keeping viewers (or at least me) interested through good storytelling, it draws out the inevitable.

I think this happens because in the first season the writers and showrunners have to produce an entire work without feedback from the audience. But after that first season, characters take on a life of their own through the fanbase. We expect Maeve to be a bad-ass, we expect The Man in Black to get his comeuppance, etc. This was the fundamental problem with the end of GoT as well. Think of how many episodes we watched Bran sit under a tree doing nothing.
I've seen a couple of CEO replacements, who were brought in for various reasons. You'd expect a B-school like Stanford to stress "planning" since that's their solution to everything.

For the new CEOs I've seen, "they've been there before" seems to receive WAY more weight than it ought to. Often they're people who just keep failing up.

You can take the Civil War as a useful analogy. Neither Grant nor Sherman had really "been there before" the war, and their resumes were decidedly unimpressive. Somehow the test of actually doing it won out over their lack of formal qualifications.
Or just completely taking credit from others without sharing it.

And as a corollary, flat out stealing ideas/code/whatever. If it's still just a startup, no one (that matters) may have every done a thorough search yet to be sure that the technology provided by the founders is original. Or course it won't survive scrutiny from the press or due diligence from a potential buyer or anything.

A friend of mine worked with a startup where there were three founders and they were all notorious for taking unearned credit. I think at least one was a pathological liar. As time when on, the true origins of everything they "contributed" came out. Depending on how good they were at bs'ing and raising money at least, a couple were were fired quickly and the last one took years to get rid of (a big enough fraud scandal finally went public).

Would teaches give up 10k and give it to the staff providing them all of this support?

With the average Canadian salary less than 39,000 should there be such a gulf between teachers and the staff who support them?
I think you are right that the skills to be a successful CEO are rare, but I think the main problem is that the hiring process for CEO is so incestual that the majority of the people who would be good for the job aren't even considered. Instead the applicant pool consists of "son of current CEO", "son of CEO's favorite politician", and several "CEO that is currently failing a different company". The applicant pool feels small because they never look beyond the boundaries of "billionaire families who go to the same country club".

There are a few CEOs that seem to truly make a difference, and maybe those would be worth the money, but for the most part companies are grossly overpaying for people who are mediocre to terrible at the job and will deploy the golden parachute in a couple of years to go fail at a different company.
Monetary policy is the setting of interest rates by the central bank. Fiscal policy is taxing and spending. Monetary policy has been more or less zero since the GFC.

What do you mean by this? Torrent never went away, there are countless high quality private trackers and even some really good public ones

But considering piracy + fediverse then DC++ was the most fediverse-y one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC%2B%2B You could connect to any given X server where you could share your local drive + chat with other users too. It's still really good to find some extremely niche stuff but torrent basically "won" because of the hash based seeding system (as in multiple user can share and peer the same stuff). DC was just seeing others' HDD and find whatever you can and directly download from there. But you didn't know that Joe's "Movie2012x264.mp4" and Jim's "Movie2012.mkv" are the same thing or different.
It is based on the higher performance of "Starlink Business" [0] that has more performant hardware, increased throughput, priority, and support and which, in the U.K., is billed at "... £400/mo for service and £2,410 for hardware." It presumably also has to be a hybrid with the roaming services such as RV and Marine which may imply having to dynamically adjust satellite and ground-link paths. With the number of terminals in operation inside UA it is also possible there is a dedicated ground station in, or close to, Ukraine which would also assure very low latencies.

As others have said, the demands of military use probably require 24/7 dedicated support and monitoring with real-time threat detection and evasion from skilled engineers at SpaceX/Starlink and actively monitoring the satellites passing over Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.

Your conclusion does not follow. More accurate and likely is that the brands will now feel free to no longer be extorted on Twitter by the whole NGO shaming and naming blackmail/guilt tripping industry. The only things these groups and people are ever successful at is lining their pockets, employing friends and family, expanding their extortion racket, and flying around speaking of how virtuous they are. I know them and live among them. It’s nauseating and clearly psychopathic.

But maybe I’m wrong, did this Twitter human rights team (why?) speak out about the human trafficking of immigration? And its sex trade/trafficking? Did it speak out against the violation of the human rights of the indigenous people who are inundated by immigration and are being plundered by it? Did they speak out against the decimation of emigrant communities that are emptied out and decimated? Did they call for stopping the use of tech products or electric vehicles that are built on slavery mining of rare earth minerals? Did this human rights team speak out against the political prisoner incarceration and clear human rights abuses of trump supporters? Did they speak for the rights and against the US and UK governments’ atrocity against Julian Assange? … and did they do any of that without simply receiving money/access/image and then claim their “partners” are working to improve?

I look forward to someone providing me some insight. Last I heard Twitter was still a hotbed of sex trafficking and sexual slavery, and its associated pornography. Pedophiles are constantly (just the other day) caught/exposed by use of Twitter.
It's impossible to deny freedom of speech (or freedom of association) to a company without denying those same freedoms to the people forming the company, or its customers or users of its service. That's one of the reasons companies do have freedom of speech, and exist as quasilegal "entities" in and of themselves. Rights don't cease to exist in aggregate.

Any legal pretense one could use to deny freedom of speech and expression to a company could also be used to deny any group - political parties, religions, specific races or genders, the press, etc.
Don't think you really know the field. On my team we almost exclusively use XGBoost or other boosted tree methods because it is typically the best model for tabular data. If we were working on CV or NLP that would be a different story and for that Neural Nets are by far the best models.
In the US a mortgage with a rate that resets after 5 years would be considered an adjustable rate mortgage, although the rate would typically reset yearly after the initial 5 years (a 5/1 ARM).

A mortgage that ends after 5 years and needs to be renewed would be considered a balloon mortgage, and they are rare in the US. They are "non-qualified" mortgages which means the government sponsored entities won't buy them, so there is a limited secondary market and they have much higher rates.

I don't think I would sleep great at night knowing that every 5 years I would need to either get a new mortgage loan or lose my house.
FWIW I disliked Season 3, but thought season 4 was excellent.
Then again, libjpeg-turbo could probably be dropped if we spend some effort on making libjxl also decode jpegs (and encode them, since browsers also need to do be able to do that for jpeg).
I think that could reduce the net cost of adding jxl quite a bit — libjpeg-turbo has quite some code and API functions that browsers don't actually need at all, and all it really needs to do is already there in libjxl.

So a variant of the "two for one" argument that justifies AVIF can also be used to justify JXL, since JPEG is needed anyway, even more so than AV1.

Also I am not so sure if the delta between AV1-only and AVIF is _that_ small, after all you do need to take care of alpha, color management, HDR, animation, and I suppose quite different code paths to get the decoded pixels in the right place than what is already there for the video case. Plus it looks like new things are still getting added to avif, like YCoCg-R and progressive previews, so it feels like it's a bit of a "moving target" spec like webp was in the early days. I see quite a few opportunities for bugs, different levels of support between different browser (versions), etc, that are not caused by AV1 itself but just by AVIF.
Who said anything about RAII? Having RAII doesn't make C++ memory safe. If you can take a reference or pointer to some RAII-created vector, and access it after the vector is gone… then you're not memory safe?

Yes, SPARK exists, and is very cool. I think there's work on a similar system for rust (or ferrocene, anyway, which is being co-developed by AdaCore: https://blog.adacore.com/adacore-and-ferrous-systems-joining...). It also seems that SPARK now has memory ownership and aliasing support, but only since ~2019 (https://blog.adacore.com/using-pointers-in-spark), and with clear inspiration from rust. It seems to me that this addition to SPARK was felt necessary by the AdaCore people, meaning that rust had something Ada did not support (or did not support well).

Truth be told, while a legend of his time Tim Berners-Lee is a dinosaur who while likely has great insight also comes from a different generation. He's not much different than other blockchain cheerleaders each pushing their own solution. IPFS is the closest we've came to Web3 or whatever you want to call it, but there is still a lot of issues. Where blockchain solutions fall short is none of them are really decentralized. An ideal Web3 IMO would be a distributed storage that you can contribute a certain amount of storage on practically any device and it is able to predict and allocate resources efficiently to scale at datacenter level performance.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to rank acts by the threat they post to the Republic. The left wing riots you speak of were a problem in few very limited locations (parts of a few cities). They didn't threaten to end democracy. Major parts of the Republican party are actively trying to bring American democracy to a close. It's hard to see the benefit of both-siding in the presence of that threat.

I'm not sure why people talk about insects and goldfish and things like that, when someone says "sex is binary" and they are talking about humans, they mean "human sex is binary". Anything that may or may not be true about other species does not matter for the argument. I'll say "as a general rule, human sex is binary" if you really want that changed.
Bounds checking would have prevented this outright.

Bounds checking has been standard in every language other than C since 1970, but for some reason C programmers refuse to use it, normally using arguments like "just make sure the indexes are correct", which is basically "just don't write bugs".
Your scenario desribes how it works in Australia (similar system to NZ). Almost all mortgages are variable rate, you can lock in a fixed rate for a few years but otherwise you're at the mercy of interest rates.

Buyers are subject to strict lending criteria to determine whether they can afford $current_rates + $future_increases. This means a lot of people are locked out of owning housing.

The system is benefiting the already wealthy and leaving others, particularly young people, out in the cold.
Yes.

I tried using a local-only RSS reader after ditching Feedly, but I found myself missing the ability to easily switch between devices.
