Terrible response by Google to this.

Basically it seems like their bureaucracy is structured so that no one has an incentive to actually address this. Everyone at the company acted like they would rather this issue not even exist, rather that address a critical flaw that makes locking essentially not work on the Pixel.

This gives us a look under the cover of what's important at Google, and it seems like security is a clear subdivision of marketing in this case.
Twitter was bleeding all over the floor and had been doing so for years

working 40hrs a week in the office is also called "a regular job" outside of SV

Musk is a jerk, sure, but he's only accelerating what was inevitable for Twitter

Twitter won't be the last either...if you think Musk is fueling your blog now, just wait to see what the rest of SV ends up doing...the party ended

time to be adults, stop crying, the rest of the world goes to work and is expected to perform...now you can too
You can have look at this document to answer that : https://help.apple.com/pdf/security/en_US/apple-platform-sec...

From what I gather the more secured keys should be discarded 10 seconds after lock screen event. Lower security keys stay in memory to allow background activity.

Encryption on ios, if i understand correctly, is on a per file basis. There is thus no "mount" event to look for and it should provide no value to use a less secured key if you do not intend to run on background because decryption is supposed to happen on the fly.

PS: Also if I remember correctly pressing down the emergency sequence (holding power + volume up) discard ALL keys instantly and unlock require the passphrase as if you just rebooted. Emergency call don't need to be issued just initiated (must hold 10 sec or confirm on screen to make the actual emergency call).
Same. I had huge expectations. Basically what you learn is that octopuses are intelligent and for a long time we didn't realize because they are smart enough to know they are in custody when we catch them and they're pretty social. I mean, it's OK, but the whole book feels a bit like a preface to the thing which never came.
Someone put some street art up at intersections locally of a silhouetted pedestrian with their neck craned at their phone, incidentally right where your eyes would be when you are looking at your phone just like the silhouette and crossing the street. I'd like to think that this artist has saved more pedestrian lives than the local department of transportation at this point.
Really feel bad for anyone who went out and bought a house in another place or made life decisions based on this policy which is likely a lot of people. This is really showing that you don’t respect or care about your employees which is par for the course for musk. However i think what he is forgetting is that Twitter isn’t some amazing challenge to solve like self driving or rockets. I think you will see a very understaffed twitter in the future.
Back of the envelope calculation:

A billion users, each tweeting once an hour with 140 characters. That's 38.147 Megabytes/s. My laptop could handle that raw volume. Increase it by an order of magnitude for all the network nonsense and it can still run on my 4 year old desktop.

Twitter is not some hypertech company, it shouldn't need more than a hundred engineers to run. I imagine that's the bet Musk is making too.

The biggest difference here is that distros vet their maintainers, often with a lengthy process similar to hiring someone at a company, while NPM and similar repos are entirely self-serve, where anyone can register an account and just publish whatever packages.
https://jalopnik.com/elon-musk-praises-chinese-tesla-factory...

During a keynote speech on May 10, Elon Musk commended Tesla factory workers in China for working under conditions that break labor laws in many parts of the world — including those in China, as The Guardian pointed out. The high praise from Elon went out to workers who are being pushed to meet production goals in the middle of pandemic lockdowns, which have been ongoing at the Gigafactory in Shanghai since April. The Tesla CEO went on to compare Chinese workers with their American counterparts, who Musk says lack work ethic he considers impressive and vital for EV companies to succeed.

"There’s just a lot of super talented and hardworking people in China that strongly believe in manufacturing. And they won’t just be burning the midnight oil. They’ll be burning the 3am oil. So they won’t even leave the factory type of thing. Whereas in America, people are trying to avoid going to work at all."

Going by what Musk says, it sure sounds like what they say is true: nobody wants to work anymore. That is, except for workers in China, where conditions enabling Tesla to meet production goals during lockdowns have less to do with burning oil past midnight, and more to do with China’s extreme work culture. Meaning Musk isn’t really praising hardworking people so much as a disregard for labor rules.

During the lockdowns, workers at the Gigafactory reportedly worked 12-hour shifts, six days a week and slept on the floor. Again, that’s not only during recent lockdowns. This is actually common enough to be nicknamed “996.” That’s shorthand for work shifts going from 9am to 9pm, six days a week.
Twitter is going to not exist in 2 years. The financials make no sense, and we already have influencers making fun of subscribers. Subscribing is not only going to create a dichotomy that drives away "economy-of-scale" users but it's going to quickly gain a reputation of being "lame."
> Especially since Twitter is going republican, I do not feel like being a supporter of it: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1589639376186724354

1) "Twitter going Republican" is a debatable interpretation. First of all, as a company and platform, Twitter is and should be agnostic. As for Musk's personal opinion, what he endorsed in that tweet is a rather common centrist concept: having divided government in place so nothing too crazy gets passed by anybody.

2) Even if "Twitter went Republican" (whatever that means) Republicans are somewhere in the range of ~35-45% of the country on any given day. Is half of the country supposed to hate the other half to the point that we can't even peacefully coexist and discuss stuff on the same platform? To me, this is a shockingly bad point of view to take. If words can't be exchanged, there's only one other way to settle disputes, and it's not a good one.
Well put. I had the exact same conclusion reading this article, but couldn't put it into words.
Trading halt announcement at FTX.US.[1] Announcement says withdrawals still up.
But Twitter messages indicate withdrawals are not working.

Way too much happening to mention here. Just use Google to search "FTX" and limit search to 1 day. Margin calls all over crypto land. JP Morgan says expect 50% drop across the board in crypto. Around 10 AM PST, somebody just pulled a billion dollars out of Tether. Word of the day: "deleveraging".

I generally agree, but it's not "people," it's institutional funds (endowments, pension funds, etc). The way venture returns are distributed is that a small number of funds (of which Sequioia has historically been one) stand out from the rest in terms of returns. With the lengthy bull market that we have had until this year, VC was a high-performing asset class. Pension fund and endowment managers felt they needed to be in the asset class, which really meant being in those top 10 or so funds that were generating outsized returns. When LPs are competing to get into a few top funds, the funds have all the leverage. My sense is that LPs don't feel like they can make any kind of demands on the VC funds, for fear of being blocked out of investing.

Now we have a market turn and VC is unlikely to sustain the returns of the past decade. That may shift the leverage, but history suggests that LPs will still not put any kind of meaningful pressure on the top funds to do anything different.
From the NYT article:

"On Wednesday, three top Twitter executives responsible for security, privacy and compliance also resigned, according to two people familiar with the matter and internal documents seen by The Times.

The departing executives include Lea Kissner, Twitter's chief information security officer; Damien Kieran, its chief privacy officer; and Marianne Fogarty, its chief compliance officer. Their resignations came a day ahead of a deadline for Twitter to submit a compliance report to the Federal Trade Commission, which is overseeing privacy practices at the company as part of a 2011 settlement.

Twitter has typically reviewed its products for privacy problems before rolling them out to users, to avoid additional fines from the F.T.C. and remain in compliance with the settlement. But because of a rapid pace of product development under Mr. Musk, engineers could be forced to "self-certify" so that their projects meet privacy requirements, one employee wrote in an internal message seen by The Times.

"Elon has shown that he cares only about recouping the losses he's incurring as a result of failing to get out of his binding obligation to buy Twitter," the employee wrote. The changes to Twitter's F.T.C. reviews could result in heavy fines and put people working for the company at risk, the person warned."

This may be the beginning of the end for "social media" because the constantly buried truths are coming to the surface. For example, 100% advertising and 0% journalism as a "business model", web user privacy, "tech" malfeasance, and the myth of "free".

Noncommercial web users are not ready to pay fees to use websites. Not all web use is commercial, nor can all web use be commercialised.

Noncommercial web use is real. However the web as imagined by "tech" companies, i.e., massive data harvesting websites that produce no content, where all web usage is surveilled and all data collected is purported to have commercial value, may be more fantasy than reality.
Zero crew maintenance will never be effective. You'll just be doing what the Soviets are doing in Ukraine; abandoning $25M tanks when they throw a track. Or you'll be dooming maintenance crews to a quick death.

And you can't wave away the flaws of the Leo 1 as being too early for its time. The trend has been 180º in the opposite direction.

Focusing on top attack weapons is missing the forest for the trees. There are numerous weapons that can destroy a tank:

- Mines
- Artillery, both unguided and guided
- ATGMs, whether top attack or side. All can penetrate most armor if they hit.
- SMAW/RPG etc
- Air launched unguided rockets
- Anti-tank grenades dropped by COTS drones
- Ad infinitum

Yet no military (including Ukraine) is saying they don't want tanks, only armchair generals who see another RMA in the mist. There's a saying "Ships are safe in a harbor, but that's not what ships are for." Trying to make sure a tank is invulnerable ends up being a fool's errand. Use them appropriately, and they'll be fine.
It has grown beyond six million users. How is that "will [not] ever grow"?

Mastodon doesn't need to follow the "rules" of big tech, or corporations. Mastodon is a success the moment two people can successfully communicate with it. Or six million. Nothing else matters. There's no difference.

There are no shareholders that want to see increasing MAUs. There are no investors that want to exit and therefore insist on ballooning the numbers. There are no employees that will loose their jobs when growth lags, nor advertisers that want to get ever more eyeballs else they leave for [other corp].

It really doesn't matter what any of those fictional "average users" does: whether they follow, stay, go back, whatever: as long as the people using mastodon now have a good time, and get value today, its a huge success. There honestly isn't anything else needed.
That’s called an office dude. Tf you saying?!
While true, I don't think that's pertinent.

This is more of a "if you don't like it, buy the company" situation.

It's amazing how many techies seem to be unable to understand this as if there was still infinite VC money and cash raising via stock sale for every company that can't figure out how to make money.

If we get a general tech correction as part of this downturn things are going to be very different for companies that have been burning money for years.

This is kinda what happened with Mastodon wrt to ActivityPub. Lots of what the Fediverse means is how Mastodon chooses to use the protocols. Often in ways that aren't even compliant with the specifications. So yep EEE is highly viable as an attack.
Indigenous groups are using 3D technology to preserve ancient practices
Good comparison there.

My point was only that some things need to be simple and self explainatory, even if it creates friction and reduces the power, because:

A) they are not used all that often so the friction does not matter

B) the thing is public and must be usable by potentially everyone

On the other hand some things that are meant to be used for hours at a time should make the same tradeoff between reducing the one-time mental burden vs reducing the friction in daily use by power users.

A cash register that is operated 8 hours a day by one person for 5 days a week for years at a time can (and I argue should!) be designed differently than a check out register that is used by new unexperienced customers for example.

If an action the cashier does 200 times a day takes five seconds longer it makes a difference of 17 minutes a day or 83 minutes a week. That is a workday wasted on nothing in a month.

The same workday could have been spent to train the cashier on a faster cash register that has a tiny bit more powerful user interface.

Five seconds are a tad bit much, but even if you take one second, that number would add up to day in five months of work.

And that is the capitalist efficiency perspective — it also annoys cashiers if they are slow to do the one thing they have to do 200 times a day.

The effect on cheap money on anti-competitive practices is massive and almost nobody knows about it.
UK uniquely flawed pandemic response - oscillating between lockdown, let it rip, lockdown and finally back to let it rip entirely - cost the country billions, whilst infecting a larger percentage of the population than any other comparably sized country. The long term impact of long Covid is not just reduced labour force participation, but also surely reduced productivity from those able to come back to work but now in a permanently debilitated state.

I'm not discussing inflation here, just the concept of negative interest on bank accounts.

If you had a pile of cash, it would remain a pile of cash. If you had 100,000 euro in the bank that might be 99,000 euro after some time because the bank essentially charges you a storage fee as interest rates are negative. Conversely, the bank would essentially be paying you to take out a loan.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works since it's never happened in the USA, but I think that I have it right. See https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/070915/how-n...
> Wouldn't it make the most sense to announce those decisions before making layoffs? Let people self select whether they want to stay and work for you and then make your layoffs after to ensure all teams are properly staffed.

He's got huge debt and declining revenue - both of his own making - so he doesn't have time for employees to self-select based on minor incentives. He has to strip down the car fast while somehow also keeping it road-worthy and operational. He also wants to recreate the place per his own vision, so it makes sense to get rid of as many people carrying the previous culture as you can and then start hiring as necessary with the kind of people you want.
I think he's in the anger and bargaining phases of it all. I expect he will either kill himself or go to prison when his fraud laid out. "I messed up" isn't going to get him out of this. This story has just begun.
What of those platitudes makes you feel victimized?
From anecdotes - a fair number of sellers and Realtors learned to game the algorithms of the large-scale flippers, and sell them "turkey" properties at far-too-high prices.

And "we are geniuses at 10,000 feet!" financial industry schemes, especially ones in cyclical sectors, have a strong tendency to scale up as the tide is turning against them.
Three Ways That Kindness Can Save Us All – By Mike Sowden
It is a very poor solution because you are coupling your tests to private implementation detail of the function you are testing.

> but injecting the same dependency over and over in a codebase (IE, anywhere that makes an HTTP request) is bad ergonomics.

The production dep is the default one, as I noted, so it gets injected automatically without the calling code needing to even know about it. This has the benefit of explicitly documenting in the signature all your functions dependencies with side effects. This alone would make it worth it, even ignoring the benefits on your test code.

> to not get blocked

"not betting blocked" isn't a justification for bad approaches. In any case, what I am suggesting will be just as fast.

> and avoiding making src code changes to solely to accommodate tests.

You won't be. The only src code change you'd be making is to the function signature to explicitly document its dependencies, which you should have done from the beginning.

I will argue that having global, side effectful dependencies scattered across your code base is one of the worst errors you can make.
Markdown-Based Documentation Tool
I built this for Beekeeper Studio. It's free for OSS. Hope you all enjoy
I would think the worst of such edge cases should be prohibited by law anyway. A set of more subjects is presumably a superset of a set with less subjects. So any issues can be addressed by screening them better. I suppose there could be a greater problem with fraud as people claim to have issues when they don't.

It just seems unfair to subjects to me. Not to mention paternalistic. Every other actor in the process gets enriched based on (limitless it seems) market rates for their contribution, except for the subjects who take on all the risk.

My reaction when I get the fire hydrants/traffic lights/whatever thing is to not bother and close the site. It's not because I can't spare two seconds, but because from past experience I know that whenever I get this it's an unending captcha hell.

It seems that these days the only time you're given a captcha is when some AI somewhere already decided that you're a bad actor and won't let you to the site, no matter how diligently you keep clicking page after pages of challenges.
No.

Staff cuts mean:

- a lot of chaos and extra administrative work for everyone

- fewer people to do the same amount of work (even if some of the layoffs were people who only worked 10 hours a week, that's still 10 hours that needs to be done)

- less generous total compensation as the company tries to save more money on the remaining staff
Philosophically, there is no difference between a deterministic universe that we can't fundamentally predict and a random universe, since the way we define the word random is through unpredictability.

With two major events in the news, I am wonder which of these (if either) may drivers for this.

Is it door #1: Elon Musk allegedly violating FTC restrictions with Twitter changes?

Or is it door #2: Binance seemingly doing a backstab of FTX and acquiring it, thereby throwing cryptoland into a panic?

Or is it door #3: something completely different, or a combination of both?
Maybe in his genius mind thats how he will get them to buy more Teslas.
Not entirely sure what you mean by "two-armed key-chord". It's shift-, or shift-. -- my keyboard's bottom line goes <shift>\ZXCVBNM,./<shift>. < is right-index and right-pinky, and > is right-index and right-pinky (as shift is so much wider)

Now sure, some are home row afficiandos, and having # on the home row is certainly beneficial to those as your right-index can stay on J as god intended

Or do you have a different keyboard layout to me. Keyboard layouts - especially the location of things like ,./<>?@;'#:@~[]{} vary a lot depending on the country you are in.
