Not only that, it's a safety feature and a diagnostic feature. If the gauge loses power and doesn't return to "home" position, the gauge is faulty. If you know the gauge has power but it returns to "home" position or steadfastly stays at "home" position when you adjust the flap, due to the differential, you know the link between sensor and gauge is faulty. Those gauges were built really robustly and rarely failed. The sensors also got pulled to home position in the event of mechanical failure of the flap, but not severange of the connection between gauge and sensor, so you knew the sensor was working because the gauge would go to an extreme position, even though the mechanical contrivance the sensor was monitoring had failed.

Admittedly this doesn't solve a lot of fundamental problems, but we might not be able to/not want to, and at least it will help some people?
A cursory internet search reveals several that popped up within the past decade on Cisco's gear. Hard-coded passwords are table stakes, if that slips through, what else is lurking beneath the surface?

Network hardware is to operate in the adversarial landscape which is the open internet. It requires an extreme, exhaustive workflow to ensure bugs do not slip through. That we repeatedly see these failures does not raise confidence.

So what is the problem?
Is it slavery?
Is it that quatar is hot?
Is it that quatar doesn't like LGBTQ?

Why new reasons come up in every comment rather than any justification for the parent comment at all?

Are you going to watch football or to marry someone?

And should you boycott US also where random people kill innocent children regularly for no reason?

From this discussions in this thread atleast the problem with quatar is nothing of what is mentioned. Westerners can't accept that a nation culturally so different from theris can host an important tournament. They can't accept that people's have different priorities different cultures and different way of looking at life. They can't accept that about 2 billion people of the world are having the most accesible world cup.

In short, they can't accept that world doesent exist just for westerners. Since they can't tell that openly due to being called out for racism, they come up with these reasons..
Exchanges these days are casinos, not on-ramps. You can use them like that, but it's not their core business.

Holy Mountain made $104k on a $750k budget [0].

Definitely not big chunks of money.

I liked Holy Mountain and I like crazy stuff. I’m not sure how he got his projects funded but it’s not based on his box office success.

El Topo also lost money.

Seems a bit one-sided, no?
I do.

I've had a music collection for decades, and never seen the point of getting rid of it. A little while ago I refreshed my music delivery system. I landed on using Roon with a Tidal connection.

I have the ability to listen to all my music with Roon's fantastic curating. Tidal allow me to listen to albums and artists I don't have. I haven't bought any new music lately, but I am working on a beets configuration that works for me & I'll purchase some of the music I've discovered.
The worst case of that took 2 other managers with him.

He was kicked but project was so mismanaged that the next 2 PMs outright fucking left, with last one throwing comment like "well, they told me that they will be throwing me on deep water but they didn't tell me it will be with concrete boots on!".

To be entirely fair fuckup wasn't totally his (the person involved in selling it to customer sold Perl based piece of software that we only had to "lightly customize", that turned out to be a lie and we had no Perl devs on staff, so it turned into some monster...) but still.
> I hate how foreign governments can trample over US products.

As if the US government never trampled over non-US companies. The US runs one of the most protectionist economies out there.
Whatever you decide to do next, please be gentle with yourself. If you are in a position to even appreciate the post, you have probably done well!

I get it. And i think i might know why: we are all smart here. Smart enough to do outstandingly well at high school. As time goes on: university and career the selection bias reveals itself. We are now with millions of peers and statistically some of them will be well ahead by some measure. In short: the feeling is to be expected, and it is by design of modern life and high interconnectedness

I don't think you have a good point. There are two separate things at play here.

The first is having an organisation that can't be trusted hold "your" coins for a long period of time. It is a bad idea because you could hold the coins yourself (that is, there is a less-bad alternative).

The second is buying coins from that same organisation. This may not be a bad idea, because the risks involved in the short transaction may be very low, and you may not have a better alternative.
This is just my opinion, but there are probably studies that agree, the URL doesn't look "attractive" with numerals in it. Then again, several years ago they said "never use a hyphen in your URL" and now they're not uncommon.

Of course there are well-established URLs, e.g. 9to5linux.com, that can get away with it but given a site that I didn't already know about with numerals in it, I wouldn't click the link, personally. But like I said, that's just me. Perhaps your site would be in the Top 20 most visited in the world for all I know.

Seems like a lot of work that could be better spent creating awesome content.

Are you unfamiliar with the recent release of MidJourney v4? The results are mind-blowing. Why would an artist attribute their work to an AI?
Thx for the tips!

I've loved your writing here over the years on math and physics topics.

I did my undergrad in physics, but then went in to corp america.

Curious if you are, or did you work with, Norman Waite? I read some of his papers in a few classes and you made reference to similar and adjacent works a few times.

I hadn't thought of him for a long time but then later in my career was using some IBM kit and came across another of his research/conference papers.

Threads crossing in time, I feel like your writing is similar :)
What are the bets on when this guy comes back to Twitter?

Compliance Weak might be a good name for the El Reg version
> we rely on the manufacturer. We rely on electricity.

We rely on having money. And we rely on a mature economy where someone is willing to solve every problem in exchange for that money.

In an individualistic society, each person is expected to earn their own way and then pay to solve every problem they may have.

In more community-oriented societies, personal earnings are less important than a strong network of friends and family who can fulfill every need. Each person's income/wealth is contributing to the collective for whatever cannot be served internally.

This movement toward individualization correlates very strongly with the capitalism.

I've been at this for almost 40 years, and it's shocking to me how little urgency there is to hiring over the last 5-10 years. I have a sinecure but still interview from time to time. Compared to (say) 1990, it's intensely time-consuming and unproductive.

In principle, I'm likely someone that hiring managers are looking for, and really a pretty good deal. In practice, I'll probably just retire rather than throw my hat into the ring again. Or--since I have a vindictive sense of humor--maybe I'll spend my retirement doing "fake" interviews with prospective employers.
Wouldn’t these investors eventually run out of money pursuing these deals?

Free speech is now a euphemism for providing loud voices on private platforms for the far right, while banning progressive voices on the same platform.

Any time a "free speech " platform like Truth Social emerges, we can be sure that its primary purpose is amplifying Nazis and banning liberals. Sad to see Twitter starting to go in the same direction.
What is the alternative and the end game here? China buys Australian coal and lithium and uses it to make batteries. What they can’t import from AU, they will import from Indonesia or Russia, which is probably partially stolen from Ukraine’s Donbas. At least in Australia there are more chances to levy a fair carbon tax and dependency is mutual. Everyone wants to have batteries and solars for renewables, but no one wants to make them.
Pop and swap while iterating is definitely a useful feature. You can also queue removals up and do the pop and swap all together on a cleanup pass (snippet below). That said, most people don't code this way, so yeah, useful for sure.

I agree none of the other examples are as ubiquitous, I also don't like the examples where there is an expectation you pay at some point.

Just GP described the concept without naming it.
Yeah, I feel like if you're someone who likes hanging out and talking to people at bars, you can probably do that at lots of bars and meet more new people. I don't think it's unusual to get to know a bunch of people but not form any major friendships (happens at workplaces all the time). You may just need more people in the mix to find those friendships. They're hard to find! Especially if you're a little older and maybe more discriminating about who you want to connect with and spend time with.

I figured I might as well go pull up some numbers from my personal systems. I've got 3 internet-facing VMs that expose SSH to the world.

For the past 30 days, I've seen a combined total of 86k SSH attempts. I've not bothered to filter out my own legitimate sessions, given that they're in the ballpark of ~3 connections a day tops.

Total load on each of these systems has stayed below 0.5, and that's including the other actual work the servers do. I don't have a great way to pull out sshd specifically, but it's safe to say that these servers haven't had their operations affected at all by the nefarious attempts.

For what it's worth, the one thing I'm doing that could potentially impact the resource consumption is hardcoding cipher/keyexchange/MAC selections. Given that I control 100% of the legitimate clients for these SSH daemons, I've hardcoded the settings as follows:

Ciphers chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com

KexAlgorithms curve25519-sha256@libssh.org

MACs hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com

HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

Over 95% of the spam connection attempts get dropped before my server ever does any crypto, because the connecting system doesn't support that KeyExchange choice.
Rent had been extremely low for a long while. Much less than mortgage and a smaller fraction of the tenant's income. 20 years ago it was generally 40x rule: 40 times monthly rent should not be grater than the gross income or, alternatively, rent should not exceed 30% of gross income. 10 years ago many landlords switched to 25% and, even, of the net income in some cases.

This had been supported by the rapid capital gains: when your house appreciates more than its payment every month any rent you can collect on it is pure profit. It's gone now and the rent again has to pay the mortgage+insurance+taxes+maintenance on the greatly appreciated property. Building more a year ago was expensive because of shortages of everything from labor to raw materials. Lumber used to be more expensive than steel, which also was not cheap. So anything that had been built then cannot really be rented cheaply because the units are expensive. Building more now is expensive because the shortages are still there, prices of everything are up because of inflation and, most importantly, credit is expensive so everything that is being built now cannot be rented cheaply too because units are still more expensive and the credit is much more expensive.

The market works but it's never been intended to protect you from the economy being ran into the ground.

For cold storage, I think hardware wallets are unnecessary and add risk of the supply chain of that device. Those manufacturers are good at marketing what they sell.
>would you want to wait until they are here and volunteers start coming in?

I think the response to the 9/11 attacks shows that when something major happens, lots of people feel motivated to get up and do something. Volunteers flooded the different branches and even gov't services. My point being that I'm not sure a draft would be needed in your proposed situation.

What the author misses is that we perceive our welfare by measuring it against our peers. The people of 1918 had no idea what inventions were coming in 100 years and even if they could postulate some of them it was purely in the realm of science fiction for them. Not to mention, imagine the excitement of witnessing stuff like refrigeration, transoceanic flight, television, radio, telephone, mass mobility all come online during your lifetime.

Of course knowing what one knows today one might be tempted by the creature comforts that our complex society affords us but personally given the choice of being born John Rockefeller or being born myself I'd be kinda tempted by the former. It's hard to overstate how status contributes to one's perception of well being. Rich people 100 years ago did not feel deprived because they had no YouTube. They had parties and shows and concubines to keep the boredom out. Come to think of it even knowing what I know about the 21st century I'd probably take the Rockefeller deal... maybe I'm unusual.

EDIT Alas there is a 21st century version of the earth that I would not trade for the riches of a robber baron. But that version of the earth does not exist nor is it likely to come into being in the next few decades that I might have. Such earth has no Twitter but instead has peace and prosperity across the world no matter the continent. Has no climate crisis to resolve and cancers and similarly devastating diagnoses are mere inconveniences akin to sniffles. In this utopian earth the ecosystems are being cherished rather than exploited and economic improvements don't come at the expense of future generations. In this alternative earth the pursuit of knowledge and art are the most well respected pursuits and those who are best remembered are ones who most contributed to such endeavors during their lifetimes. In other words, complete fantasy and utopia. But that would be a world I'd refuse to trade for the Rockefeller status.

So yeah, tell me again how to do that robber baron thing?
286 was an RTL model hand converted module by module to transistor/gate level schematic. Afair 386 was the first Intel CPU where they fully used synthesis (work out of UC Berkeley https://vcresearch.berkeley.edu/faculty/alberto-sangiovanni-... co-founder of a little company called Cadence) instead of manual routing. Everything went thru logic optimizers (multi-level logic synthesis) and will most likely be unrecognizable.

I found a paper on this 'Coping with the Complexity of Microprocessor Design at Intel – A CAD History'
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Avinoam-Kolodny/publica...

>In the 80286 design, the blocks of RTL were manually
translated into the schematic design of gates and transistors
which were manually entered in the schematic capture
system which generated netlists of the design.

>Albert proposed to support
the research at U.C. Berkeley, introduce the use of
multi-level logic synthesis and automatic layout for the
control logic of the 386, and to set up an internal group to
implement the plan, albeit Alberto pointed out that
multi-level synthesis had not been released even internally to other research groups in U.C. Berkeley.

>Only the I/O
ring, the data and address path, the microcode array and three
large PLAs were not taken through the synthesis tool chain
on the 386. While there were many early skeptics, the results
spoke for themselves.
With layout of standard cell blocks automatically
generated, the layout and circuit designers could myopically
focus on the highly optimized blocks like the datapath and
I/O ring where their creativity could yield much greater
impact

>486 design:

A fully automated translation from RTL to layout (we called it RLS: RTL to Layout Synthesis)
No manual schematic design (direct synthesis of gate-level netlists from RTL, without graphical schematics of the circuits)
Multi-level logic synthesis for the control functions
Automated gate sizing and optimization
Inclusion of parasitic elements estimation
Full chip layout and floor planning tools
I would would say the "Jessica Rosenworcel, chair of the FCC." need to read the law and regulations they are enforcing, as well as their own published documentations.

Like with most government officials I care less what they say in Press Conferences, that has ZERO regulatory weight, or validation and is often hyperbolic or out right false

I care about the actual regulation, and rules as implemented and enforced.

Also even if they are expanding the devices, this would only apply to camera's with WiFi, Most commercial camera's are POE ethernet not wifi. Using WiFi security camera's is just asking for trouble since it is easy for criminals to take out wifi remotely
To be fair, rocket science is also hard, but not very much when all you plan to do is hitting a barn door with fireworks. Same with prime factorization when the number to factor is “15”, spontaneously sketching out the pole-zero diagram of f(x)=0… you get the gist.

Usually when people talk about a topic being hard, they don’t mean the very constrained cases that are easy.

Quantum computers are a science in the same way all of mathematics is a science. In math, you create a set of axioms and build logical structures on top of them. In quantum computing, the existence of a qubit and its operations are the axioms. Trying to coin a meaningless phrase like “design science” and only mentioning math indirectly via Arabic numerals seems wrong.
I think most people grow up with intense, sometimes overwhelming pressure to marry and start a family. Having some facts discussed on the other side of that argument seems useful and long overdue.
We are trading things and systems for social interaction; its a qualitative thing not really equivalent to how tightly coupled we are. We no longer need people at all, because we dont need (or even particularly want) to interact with a person in order to solve our needs.
