> The point is that there are a lot of applications the attacker could attempt to target(through social engineering, malicious pull request, etc.)

If you want to discuss the potential damage an attacker can do with a GitHub account, why not hype it up even more unrealistically and talk about how they could have attacked any public repo on GitHub that accepts PRs. The article should either be limited to what actually happened or you should follow the thought through to its logical conclusion. Why do you stop when you've sufficiently scared people enough to start talking about datadog tooling?
There has to be some kind of limit. Take an extreme example. Would it be OK to have a single individual (or company) worth $1e24? A septillionaire could give $1 trillion to every person on the planet every year for 100 years and still have 99.99% of his money left. How much power and influence over the world would someone like that have, while the rest have comparatively close to zero? I think we all agree that wouldn't work for a functioning society. We probably also agree that $1million is probably too low a limit. So it's not a question of whether there should be a limit but where that threshold is.
> I don’t understand the demand for “legality”. FSD is like a driver with a fresh license - both are a little dangerous in the beginning but both will get better over time.

Liability is the answer here, the driver is liable and so needs to adjust their risk-taking because of possible consequences. FSD failures has no consequences to the responsible party (Tesla and other automakers, etc.) if legality isn't in question.

> Also the FSD’s promise (be it Tesla or anyone else) is so far reaching that this “a little dangerous in the beginning“ is worth some elaboration.

What do you mean worth some elaboration? So elaborate on it, not sure if you stated what you meant. Even then, I'm a user of the road and I've not been asked to participate in Tesla's or any automakers experiments, this is a public good, used by real people everyday, not some laboratory to be experimented on and tweak your experiment accordingly.

If someone you love is killed by a FSD failure in public roads, would you still defend it? And I know that appealing to this emotional side might sound like an exaggeration but this is what might happen to someone else, someone they love might be killed by this experiment, are you willing to accept that damage to be done to your family in name of progress of a proprietary technology being developed for profit?

> Just imagine reading a book in a self driving car and thinking about a new generation of self driving:-)

I don't want to be in a self-driving car reading a book, why would I need that if I have access to trains carrying me faster than any car could on a road and when I can hail a cab for the last stretch if that isn't served by any mass transportation system? Things that aren't just existing technology but also much more environmentally friendly than having 1 car per person or household?

I dream of a world with less need of cars, with less cars taking space in city centres. Cars brought us far but also has shown us that aren't sustainable for the longer term (next centuries), I don't dream about having a car that drives me around, it sounds quite dystopian to be honest.
Debian occasionally falls over on me when running unstable but that's kind of the point. Testing hasn't failed on me in at least a decade.
There's lots of these scams where they sell some non-branded goods with lots of reviews (with videos) from paid SNS influencers. Sometimes they may sell something completely else but change the listing completely (becomes obvious from the reviews again). When you see a lot of similar listing for the same product or from same store, it's giant red flag to not buy it.

Sometimes these goods may be good, but often or not they are low quality, have obvious defects or break down after few weeks / months of use.

But for those who want Linux, there’s always Slackware - the most BSD-like distribution out there.
One argument would be that the energy isn’t really creating anything extra for the world as mining crypto is a zero sum game - ie adding compute to the network doesn’t create additional coins it just increases difficulty (thus it’s burning fuel for no gain in output in aggregate).

Ideally we want to use/focus our resources to create things which then create net value.

It makes sense to use geolocation for search. It's not just for searching for businesses, as the meaning of a word you are searching for will depend on where you are.

IP-based geolocation isn't very reliable. And if people are using VPNs then it's useless.
In this case, what would strike achieve from people who Musk wants to not work anyway? Twitter literally closed EU facilities. I don't know any union law in any country that prevents company from closing facilities and eliminating all jobs.
It clearly isn't a recruiting strategy. He is not a decision maker in hiring, claims to know nothing about it, beyond being able to make referrals:

You're well beyond $100k/yr at that point. A single person with a lawn mowing company can make $100k/yr.
The architects of the economic system in the United States don't want to eliminate poverty - it's kept around as a threat, something to point to - see, grunts, that's where you'll end up if you're not an obedient drone. This is also a main reason why there's no reliable public health care system, instead it's tied to employment. The general concept is "discipline of the labor force."
Actually I wasn't thinking of bitcoin, but for example of needless auto refreshes and animations.

Seriously, web devs need to learn to respect my battery and electricity bill more.
It did, I watched it explicitly for this reason, but I guess unless it's documented somewhere, oh well. It was even googlemail.com for awhile.

Edit: It's possible my concern was the subdomain and my memory is off. It moved from a subdomain to a /gmail at one point (or something similar). That is when I swore off it.

What clearly recall is that there was something wrong, either it was how it did a redirect to google.com first and then back or shared cookies in a very sneaky way that alerted me. (I was building sites at the time and I was privacy conscience early on in my career)

Because most fossil fuel burning is powering homes and factories. You know, useful stuff. Spending 3% of the world's power on sustaining a gambling addiction for a fringe group of gullible people who can't recognize when a technology, despite being interesting, has presented no social utility whatsoever (besides helping make scams easier) is bad policy.

A lot of people really care about Twitter. It's the nexus of communication for a lot of marginalized groups. Game development, art and a lot of other independent, entrepreneurial and hobbyist communities network through Twitter. A lot of interesting feeds show content there that isn't centralized anywhere else on the web.

I get being cynical about social media but let's actually maybe care about the baby getting thrown out with the bathwater. Twitter is more than just journalists and political shitposting.
Because some uses of fossile fuels are more important than others.
My comment would remain exactly the same for auto-correct. They are essentially the same thing, just pre and post typing.

They both serve the same purpose of helping the user quickly and accurately communicate on a cell phone. Like auto-suggest, I rely on auto-correct to fix things that I know I commonly mistype. When it doesn't work predictably, it's useless.

This part really stuck out to me:

> A few years ago, a friend of mine, in a well-meaning attempt to understand the impoverished diets of poor people, ate a Food Stamp diet for a week. On the last day of the diet, he talked about what he had learned and spoke philosophically about his renewed appreciation of healthy food as he prepared to end his restricted diet with his first good meal of the week: homemade vegetable pizza. He thought about what he had learned as he kneaded the pizza dough. He had already sliced the vegetables, and they sat piled high on the cutting board. While he had the best of intentions, what he said made me sad. He had misunderstood.

> In his week of eating like poor people, he had missed two crucial ingredients: fear and shame. While he was looking forward to breaking his fast that night, poor people don’t get to do that. They don’t get to look forward to the end of impoverishment, to a good meal. My friend would eat a healthy meal that night, and he had known throughout the week that he could stop whenever he wanted, that all he had to do if he missed healthy food was open his refrigerator. Poor people never know when their next good meal will come. They look in the refrigerator on the 25th and maybe they only have enough food for a couple more meals but they don’t get paid for a week. And vegetables are expensive. Most poor people can’t afford them. All of this causes great shame. Shame that they don’t make enough money, shame that they can’t give their kids decent food, shame that they must rely on government assistance, shame that they can’t afford the restaurant their friends want to go to on Saturday night. That shame never goes away. It is not my friend’s fault that he does not know this. He doesn’t know it because society does not talk about such things, does not want them talked about. The result is that my friend would never understand how poor people feel—never understand me—and I felt sad and alone.

It's a doublet of suffering: not just the material burden of living in poverty and being unable to provide for yourself and family, but the ideological burden of being shamed into believing it was caused by your own personal failure.
It’d probably help if it had a company like Red Hat offering enterprise support and contributing back to it. Knowledge certification helps a ton too. It’s all fun and games until the SME leaves and a company finds out how hard it is to hire another person with skills in that OS.

Relatedly, I really wish people would stop calling this a "code review". That term already means something different than "shallow performance evaluation used as a justification for completely arbitrary firings with no notice".

AliExpress isn't even cheap for what you're actually getting, but it is cheaper than Amazon if you're dumpster diving.

The reason I say it isn't cheap is because when I ignore the fake labels and look at actual goods delivered equivalents can be bought locally for similar price (sometimes cheaper, sometimes more expensive) without insane wait time and with warrenty.

>Let me be clear: Advertising isn’t necessarily bad...

Sure it is. It's legalized production of mass-insanity.

When communication isn't intended to fuck your mind we call it "news" or "conversation" or something like that.

Advertising is most definitely 100% evil. The only reason anybody says otherwise is because that implies all kinds of scary stuff about our society and nobody wants to go there. Also, because such statements offend our sponsors. And also, if you are in the advertising business, talk like that makes you look like a real Morlock.

I think that's crystal clear.
Exactly and with any modern frontend a solution "purely from the javascript console" can only be a terrible DOM hack. The actual code driving the UI is encapsulated from the global variable namespace that you can potentially modify from the console and in any case is typically transpiled as well.
I had a look at those, but I ended up going with the KDS 1000/6000. I'm still new to using it, but it works great!
I guess one argument is bitcoin mining could run when there's excess renewables capacity, and we should save baseload power generation from e.g. coal and nat gas for consumers that need it 24/7 like residential, hospitals, airports and the like. This is quite a heavy handed approach indeed, but yeah it is at state level. Maybe a more nuanced Federal level action is necessary.
Well that just begs the question what happens if twitter doesn't pay these fines. Will they build a great firewall then?
That can't be it. How many mining operations are operating their own power plants?
Haven’t seen any change at all as a Twitter user since the whole Elon brouhaha started.
If you want some hair-raising stories of Musk mistreating his employees and generally being self-destructive, this article was a pretty good warning. There’s a story halfway down about Musk firing a competent engineer just because he was pissed off and that engineer was nearby. You can’t read the entire thing without thinking either (a) it’s all lies, nobody could be that cruel and inept, or (b) holy crap he’s the worst boss ever.

Probably, but state laws (varying from bad to worse) make alcohol distribution one of the more heavily regulated things you could try to "fix".
I work in the trucking and consumer banking industry industry. A $100K idea is buying your own truck and becoming a trucker, shipping goods from one state to another. This is a billion dollar industry right now and is booming like crazy.
> On anything vaguely Elon related I've learned to ignore high-frequency reporting.

True, but not for the reasons you’re implying. Those reporting are accurate Elon is doing these things, but Elon is impulsive, and gets reined in often, sometimes by the few adults in the room, sometimes by the legal system.

So yes, these employees will most likely get their legal severance payments… after a protracted legal case that ends 24 months from now.

This doesn’t change the fact that Elon may not be the best manager or person in the world.
True. I love C++ but think “don’t pay for what you don’t use” should err on the side of safety over speed when it comes to what “pay” means. I’d rather `operator[]` be bounds-checked and occasionally have to call `v.data()[i]` or `v.unchecked_at(i)` when profiling justifies it.

I've been using Arch for well over 10 years, they say it's true that you "learn Linux" using Arch. It's an excellent distro, but a few things make it a great learning OS.

First it's as vanilla as possible, which mean that packages are modified as little as possible from upstream. This means you don't learn anything distro-specific by mistake, and you actually learn more how the package is intended to function.

The second is great documentation and community. The Arch wiki is full of common tweaks that you'll likely have to do, many other distro's may have just held your hand and assumed you wanted those boxes checked, but Arch makes you check them.

Being minimal also helps, it really doesn't overwhelm you. Arch doesn't, it's just that only at a time is usually broken, so you're doing something like that.
> Of course these frequencies are absorbed and won't reach the brain.

What happens to the Electromagnetic Field when a photon is absorbed? Is it split into an electric and magnetic field?

You know the SAR measurement of cellphone is only measuring the electric field.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_absorption_rate
"SAR for electromagnetic energy can be calculated from the electric field within the tissue as: "

https://www.ramayes.com/SAR_Specific_Absorption_Rate_Systems...
"• To measure the electric field based on antenna probes inside the phantom in various places."

https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.5122488
"In the numerical scheme, Maxwell’s equation is employed to determine electric field, and SAR is estimated using electric field values. Results show that most of the energy associated with the 5G frequencies is absorbed in epidermis layer of skin tissue. "

But what about the magnetic field which will travel much further? Why is there no measurements of this field?

You can see very clearly in this paper there is a huge difference:
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1406/1406.2442.pdf

So it may be that the magnetic field is causing issues in the body, like depolarizing voltage gated calcium changes deep in the brain.
Admittedly that quote is a bit of a trigger for me, since I'm an older scientist. Also, "embracing change" is a business dog whistle that is often applied when the change is onerous to the people on whom it's being imposed. Both are technically ad hominem.

A bigger problem may be that the entire body of published knowledge, and even the choice of categories that are the focus of study (such as "personality" and "intelligence") are too numerous and prevalent throughout our entire culture to readily abandon.

The right thing to do if half of your knowledge base is bunk, might be to erase all of it and start over, but that's virtually impossible.
