I don't know of any EU corporates with the scale, reach and depth of US corporates such as Meta, Google, Twitter et al. Their dominance globally is going to prompt GDPR scrutiny. If an EU corporate were to grow to relative relevance, I'd expect similar scrutiny. I see no protectionism, largely because there's nothing to protect.
Yes, but the desire to form a relationship (and maybe even to form it “upwards”) - it’s a hard wired feature of a brain I believe. Woman’s brain especially. And I wouldn’t say that this wiring is unhealthy. But that guy just triggered it, “professionally”.

So, in her place - when to tell yourself to stop? Certainly not at flying by a private jet to Paris. Problem is she is hooked after that. Like yes, it is nice thing to have all these quarters dumped on your lap in a casino, but that’s exactly the proper time to leave. We had nice night in Paris, bye! Still, casinos exist and prosper. Dzin-dzin-dzin! - somebody won, why not you?

Hard stop I think should come after him asking her for money. “Our casino is experiencing some financial difficulties, could we please borrow some of your savings so that the entertainment could continue?” But we should show each girl Tinder Swindler for her to be able to do this, to stand up and leave at this time. Cause she has already placed herself into a relationship, yes. But probably wouldn’t help anyway, like teaching math has not bankrupt casinos.

>Sure, it's a passive voice. But that's far from exonerating.

The accumulation of all those “not exonerating but friendly” pieces is what makes it a positive framing.

Something can be technically true but selected and framed to favor a false narrative. This is Journalism 101, or even high school English class, and you may have forgotten an important lesson from it.
> Part of the motivation for this was to use (mostly) unique MAC addresses (48 bits) as your identifier and that fits in 64 bits. Of course this became a massive PII leak and a tracker's dream so it never happened but we're still stuck with /64 blocks that we absoultely do not need.

How Airbnb is enabling motion engineering at scale using declarative APIs
This is a relatively tame update, but the roadmap for the near future is really exciting, with stuff like Simulation Nodes (which already has a usable experimental branch) and Blender Apps (https://code.blender.org/2022/11/blender-apps)

I'm not a programmer so I struggled with the fundamental concepts a bit when learning Geometry Nodes, but it's been the best new addition to my life in a long time. I think I haven't watched any TV show in a year or two because I prefer to spend my time fiddling with GN and answering people's questions about it on Blender Stack Exchange (found out that it's a fantastic way to learn—they're like little prompts leading you to discover areas you hadn't even realized existed). Blender community is so big, creative, enthusiastic, and helpful—you go on Blender-Twitter and it's people making playful/interesting stuff all day and sharing how they did it. I can't stop gushing about it to anyone who'd listen.
Keep in mind economic leverage is never a frontend feature. Gold is always buried.
Every consumer and professional router I've seen comes with a deny rule for incoming traffic by default, unless the device is configured as a "router router", like inside an ISP.

NAT has many problems because people rely on it for security. For example, many shitty IoT devices and even consoles (looking at you, Nintendo Switch) tell you to put their device in the DMZ to make them work.

The norm for IPv6 in practice is that you've got your firewall on and need to make exceptions for ports you want open, just like on IPv4, except that with IPv6 you don't need some kind of interactive state machine attackers can confuse and abuse running inside your router's kernel (ALG).
I installed the Tor Browser to access the Z Library a few days ago. I guess I shouldn't complain, but the downloads are very slow (I'm not sure if the problem is in my end).
Similar to liking them for being easy to see what they mean one layer down, it is also nice to know what they mean one layer up. Your program has to inhabit a middle layer between what it is you want, and how it is that it will be executed.

Sometimes, we can get lucky and a declarative statement of what we want works. Often, that isn't the case.
And the light getting increasingly red shifted until you can't really see it anymore.

Side question - always been curious. Surely these houses were not designed for plumbing, electrical, efficient insulation, etc. Do they just bodge these things onto the outside of walls, or how does that work?
To be honest, I expect that in 10 years people will regularly use these sorts of text generation tools in the way text prediction and thesauruses and grammar checkers and spellcheckers are used today but for bigger blocks of text.

I can't really see why not anyway, as more things are in the browser it makes sense to me to integrate the ability to "AI check" your text like a grammar or spell checker to improve your writing along some dimensions that you like.

It's not honest, but in kind of the same way that a spellchecker isn't honest and since it's going to be possible anyway I don't see what extra harm it causes to make it accessible for everyone so that we can both actually see an upside and also begin to recognize that text we read is at this point likely to be at least partially AI generated and potentially factually incorrect.

Even better if things like Firefox reader mode, one of my favorite tools, can also do text summarization. Just imagine the adversarial interaction between a tool designed to generate confident sounding fluff and one to summarize confident sounding fluff. Honestly it seems like a likely inevitable future path.

It may as well be part of the browser where it stands a better chance of keeping people's long term attention on the ease of using these tools. Spammers will be able to do it, fake journalists and such will be able to do it, better if we can do it too so that at least we are aware of the potential abuse.
Wow, Apple enabling E2EE for backup is huge, since before they would bypass iMessage security by including your iMessage keys in the unencrypted cloud backup (so governments could request that copy then watch your messages in real time).

I’m sure they’ll get pushback for closing this loophole
Curious to see how they will use it. I don‘t see an immediate way for FIDO/WebAuthN to help in an end-to-end encryption scenario.

>I was laid off from a non-tech company in 2006-2007. There was no message from the CEO, no public admission of fault, etc.

same. i've been in IT for 10+ years in none tech companies as well. i never got any message from CEO for mass layoff.

no message from CEO seem to be pretty standard outside of Silicon Valley.
no, when you meet many grounded people they're helpful, want to help fix your tire, see if you're ok. Things have changed towards narcissism and unless you're older than 35 you probably can't see that.

pressing a button to have something fall into reality is another thing that creates narcissism. You don't see any of the people involved in getting that thing to you. You can start seeing the world as your personal slave at your bidding. Now for centuries, yes, there have been rich people that can do that. If we make that accessible to a LOT more people - everyone has a butler that they don't need to even talk to.

I don't know what I'm saying right now other than - the world is vastly different than it was pre-internet. It can't go back. Things are forever changed for the worst in some (most?) categories.
The main problem with C++ is that it's too vast, it does everything and everyone has its very own choice of a subset of the language he should use.

The result is codebases hard to navigate, code hard to undestand with lots of clever code and unintuitive syntax.
This is a pretty cynical take on the idea of retaining qualified employees during a downturn. When I hear people talk about doing what you can to not have mass layoffs I don't think what they mean is that the company has an obligation to the employees that overrides their obligations to their shareholders. The way I read it is that people are saying that retaining good employees is beneficial to the company and the shareholders compared to the morale hit of a mass layoff.

If companies are using mass layoffs to get rid of the "chaff", so to speak, then they have a management problem. Maybe all these companies performing mass layoffs do really have a management problem and hired way more than they should have. But if that's the case maybe the first step is to rectify the management problem rather than to layoff 10-20% of the staff. There really isn't a way that can be done smartly so that you retain the best people and don't destroy morale, effectively harming the shareholders in the long term.

Leetcode is dead, and it just doesn't know it yet. High quality LLMs killed it. Either proctor, in person onsite, or your hire likely cheated.

Leetcode can't die fast enough.
everybody did. it's horrifying now, but people as smart as Chris that are going to do it, are going to do it. They know that tipping the hand too early will result in forced prevention (something we as a society have messed up about but that's a separate post). He worded it that way on purpose. In my opinion as a kindness so he could say goodbye rather than just disappearing without a sound.

I'm not asking for ipv6-only, but ipv4-only.

Those are the ones blocking adoption for me, as an end user.
True, but at least its a popularity contest among peers. As noted elsewhere in the comments here, actors vote on the best actors, etc.
With all these limitations, why did you prefer IPv6 over IPv4?
Desperately sad news. I never met him, he never met Me, but https://chrisseaton.com/army/ made a real impression on me. It’s the kind of thing that sits in your head and pops up from time to time. I found the level of dedication here alongside his professional success incredibly inspiring. Tragically, part of that article is about his young daughter.

Not really sure what to think now.
Lava is a very rare occurrence, the vast majority of all pairs of eyes that have ever lived have never seen any. And intelligent awareness of fire is hardly an inevitable path to utilization, individuals might just as well use all that to keep a safe distance. I guess what I'm trying to say, to my own surprise I might add, is that the key evolutionary requirement for for utilization is perhaps not so much intelligence, but a mating process involving a certain element of bravado.

Remember the CSAM scanning debacle almost a year ago? I and others speculated that the reason Apple was trying to make the CSAM-scanning and Safety Vouchers client-side was so that they would be able to allow E2E encryption while having a plausible reason to shut down law enforcement's biggest argument against E2E.
> Demonstrate this particular method (which happened to be taught at our rich-kids alma mater, but no one else had heard of).

This is one of those things that often gets repeated online, but I've never seen in practice. I've never seen a Leetcode interview question that can't be solved with knowledge outside of what you'd learn after the first semester of sophomore year. Helping my wife with Leetcode, I can see why some people would think this way though. Some people simply have better algorithmic intuition than others, so that may come off as memorization.

The only somewhat esoteric questions I've been asked is Indian immigrants asking about the minutiae about the JVM. Even then, I don't think these would be unreasonable if you were explicitly screening for Java developers.
I’m not familiar with Windows programming, but that could also be due to variable length structs.
> On the other hand, 1950s brutalist buildings, by their own architect's admission, are ugly.

Plenty of brutalist buildings are not ugly.

https://preview.redd.it/1w5r7lmno0491.jpg?width=4032&format=...

Interesting uses of lines and perspective, a willingness to have large sweeping architectural shapes that were not possible before, huge stairwells, open air walkways, plenty of windows for natural light.

Yes the concrete is ugly as sin, and it turns out it weathers and falls apart way sooner than anyone expected, but the shapes concrete was able to create are impressive.
The author is a professor of engineering. A more accurate title would be "I Rewired My Brain to Become Fluent in Math Calculations."
It's pretty clear however that the selection process at elite universities, however imperfect and to whatever degree it factors in things (like legacy admissions) that you may think shouldn't be factored in, still produces better results than just randomly admitting some percentage of whoever applies. (Especially if applicants knew it would be a completely random process.)
These people are exactly as pathetic as I imagined them to be.
Public companies make public announcements because they need investors to know they are cutting costs.
>It seems more likely that brutalist architecture is uniquely terrible

Interesting, it seems to me that brutalist architecture is actually pretty appealing aesthetically.

I might go so far as to say that objective beauty and taste simply does not exist and anyone claiming that it does hasn't thought about it very hard yet.
I have been waiting a long time for backups and photos to support this, and I am glad we are finally getting it.

I don't feel like updating to a beta to get this feature (especially for the risks associated with it). But I am curious how the migration will work. Will this basically re-encrpt everything locally and then upload it or will what is already there stay unencrypted.

Also does anyone know, how do features like this work for someone with a single apple device? I don't worry about loosing access to anything because if my phone dies I have... several other devices with keys. But what about someone who doesn't?
Congress axes media revenue sharing bill after pushback from Google and Meta
Would we actually? If so, doesn't this imply that the probability of earth just having been destroyed by one of these things was roughly a coin flip, and therefore gives us a (much higher) rough estimate of how likely such an event might be?
Sure that's true if you never use TV otherwise. But most people are already getting all those things anyway. And I also I very clearly said that having kids is what made home streaming worth it. Because for me to go to a movie, I have to pay a babysitter $25/hr for 4 hours (to cover driving, waiting in line, previews, etc), and my wife likes popcorn so I have to pay $10 for that instead of popping an instant one at home for 20 cents. And I have to pay for two seats. So now a movie trip costs me $150.

And I already have all the streaming services because kids.
Came to the comments to say this. Would appreciate a non-Apple source on this.
Italy is old. It was founded in 7 bc by Augustus: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regioni_dell%27Italia_augustea...

Sure it unified again only in the 19th century, but it has had a great degree of cultural union throughout its entire history. It is actually one of the most homogeneous countries in terms of language, religion and culture. Italians like to think otherwise for some reason.
Sorry for the digression!
I don't think intelligence or lack thereof is the problem. Rather, it seems people are paralyzing themselves by enjoying the endless discussions, stakeholder indecision, or boredom. All leading to these grotesque things which lack words in the right places, but have plenty in the wrong places.

The average web dev CRUD job isn't interesting enough to warrant that much intelligence.
Moderation seems to be best at getting rid of low-hanging fruit. There is much less easily accessible gore, shock and radical content online these days. But thanks to the very large scope of the internet, there's plenty of more insidious threats of the cultural (unsavory, doomer), physiological (dopamine-bombing scroll media, attention-grabbing content, personalized emotional manipulation by ads), and societal (dating/friendships moving online, echo-chambers, etc) nature.

Probably like the author of the comment you are responding to, I also grew up with the early pre-y2k internet. As a kid, I've seen some extremely disturbing thigns online that are burned into my memory until today. And yet they do not have as much impact on my life today as the terminally online society does.

It's hard to exactly quantify how our lives would be different if the internet never developed past it's 1990s state. But I feel strongly that they would be very different. Would my life be much different if I didn't see one or two unsavory images as a kid online? Probably not. Even when I was young, I had functional mental/emotional boundaries for that. On the other hand, as an adult, I still have to consciously stay away from doomscrolling because I know my brain has never evolved for that kind of abuse.

To sum up, moderation doesn't seem to target threats online that are actually dangerous. And they seem to have impacted our society tremendously from my perspective.

Luckily we're in tech, which doesn't work this way at all.
That source is, at best, dated.

Sending DNS info is one of the options in SLAAC (just like how it is an option for DHCPv4).

You just configure your router to advertise DNS servers via SLAAC Router Advertisements (RAs) the same way you would via DHCP.

One of the benefits is that any configuration changes propagate almost immediately—you don’t have to wait for DHCP clients to renew their lease to get new DNS servers.

Also, you can (if you want) have the DNS server advertise itself using the same mechanism.

The only common clients that can’t use SLAAC-based DNS configuration are older (unsupported) versions of windows. Even then, setting up DHCPv6 (in unmanaged mode) to send DNS servers is easy.
My experience must've been a little before that (I left that job in the mid-90s).

I could be mistaken. Or maybe the licensing code changed (due the Web explosion, or to evolution of a great product, or some other reason).
Curious, could you expand on this?
For everyone else who was hoping to enable E2EE for backups right away:

> Advanced Data Protection for iCloud is available in the US today for members of the Apple Beta Software Program, and will be available to US users by the end of the year. The feature will start rolling out to the rest of the world in early 2023.
You can get PI v6 space, and if you are somewhere where a RIR won't give it to you, that's not the protocol's fault.

Also ports weren't removed, they work just like in v4.

The long addresses with subnettable space for everyone is very valuable and useful and doesn't remove any functionality.
You can’t give a depressed person hope though. And even if you could box hope up, how would you make it last? At the end of the day, depression is a chemical imbalance and hope isn’t going realistically fix that - maybe that depression is a result of brain injury, like a nasty bump on the head that has permanently damaged the way the brain works… Depression is a long way off being solved.
The surprising bit seems to be that this ancestor had a much less developed brain (according to the article, a brain the size of an orange). Besides that, the importance is that it further pushes back the point where our ancestors initially learned to harness fire.

Plus, I think this might demonstrate a bit more advanced thinking than expected because they would've been using these fires to light the path into apparently fairly dangerous caves. Suggesting planning ability and some amount of comfort making and manipulating fire.
I don't really see the point of a gfx ui for this. I just live on the edge:

This all just seems like pandering while they continue to accept billions from Google in exchange for their user's privacy. If they really wanted to protect users' data that would be a simple starting point.
It shows in the screenshot the following:

"Because Apple will not have the keys required to recover your data, you will be guided to set up an alternate recovery method in case you ever lose access to your account."

I would assume a physical sheet of paper containing recovery codes is a suitable alternative recovery method.
