Ha, reminds me of high school. No command line access on the school PCs.

At the time, I was learning PHP, having stepped up from plain HTML/CSS. I had also discovered that I could run a web server (XAMPP).

So, one PHP script later, and sure enough… command line access through the browser!

This was super interesting! It's disappointing that it takes a $2700 machine and $10 in consumables per test to learn this, but I'm glad we finally have access to this kind of information.
This resonates with me a lot. I've been through a lot of jobs, each time starting with a combination of excitement ("Yay, I got the job!") and fear ("I hope I don't mess this one up. I've really gotta keep it for at least a year"). The novelty of a new job pushes you through the first month or two, and then things get harder and harder to complete. My mind is buzzing with thoughts, ideas, side projects and they slowly creep into your brain. Before you know it you're sitting at you computer for 8 hours but getting nothing done.

Wishing your brother the best.

> There aren't connections in SQLite like there are for network-connected DBs (eg MySQL)

The handle named `db` in your example is as expensive to create as a connection in the relative sense and should be optimized the same way in your application. It may be less expensive than a network database connection, but its still very expensive relative to any subsequent queries. The database file is opened, its first page is read, its schema is parsed from text (!), some memory is pre-allocated and so on every time you make that call.

The sqlite3_exec call invokes the parser and query optimizer every time it is called. A better benchmark would be to compile a valid statement (sqlite3_prepare). The unit under test should just be sqlite_bind() for relevant parameters followed by sqlite_step(), and maybe (but not necessarily) sqlite_reset().
I think there's some confusion about messaging. If Google knows the model/name, then it's likely not SMS being sent, but rather one of the "review this login" system pop-ups.

See if you can revert to SMS verification through some option at login. I can't verify it now, but the choice could be accessible though something non-obvious like "I'm having problems verifying". Make sure it's trying to use a text message instead of some other method... and let's hope you have it configured.

It's understandable to have that initial reaction, but if we remove emotion from it we have to at least acknowledge that Fauci did in fact lie to the public on more than one occasion.

Rather than arguing about whether or not these "noble lies" were justified, we're better off discussing how public health officials can regain the trust of the public since we may very well need it soon.
I feel you in a sense that I have attention disorder. I tried the meds once and they are freakin amazing. I know what my mind is capable of on them now (2x-10x) but I'm also truly in love with my mind/body/soul as-is and won't cheat on them.
Always impressed by people who have strong opinions about calendaring software. Personally, I can't get excited about that stuff. That being said, I think this is reasonable advice. Reminds me of Seth Godin's Purple Cow. In my opinion, people want something authentic, and being opinionated is one way to come across as such.

It also reminds me of Subnautica's (and Klei's) idea of being a "spikey bubble"[1]. You've got to have some spikes/opinions if you want to stand out.

Did I say that civil disobedience is even remotely reliable? Because it's not. And, not every violation of the law is civil disobedience. For that to be the case, the violation should be done with flagrant intent to get caught for the purpose of making a political statement. The risk of doing the time, and not making any progress, is significant.

Also note the uncertainty in my opening line, "if you're trying to frame this as civil disobedience." I don't believe that this guy's alleged corruption would fit the bill.

Having spent nearly six years homeless and also had a college class from SFSU in Homelessness and Public Policy and having written about homelessness for years, I can assure you that for the vast majority of homeless people, losing their physical phone or being unable to pay for it is a much bigger problem than other people wanting to break into their accounts and steal their identity or some such.
How about we create better systems for refugees to gain access to safety and citizenship instead of consigning them to a rickety shadow financial system? Are you putting this much energy into, say, opposing border walls and supporting marginalized communities?
You're missing that the models (including mental models) that professionals use to predict suicidality are not univariate.

When a manic depressive with substance abuse issues and prior suicide attempts walks into a clinic nobody needs a "new cognitive science tool" to tell them if they're high suicide risk, and these cases are a larger proportion of suicides than most people think.

Also that sort of missed the point of my comment, which is perhaps my fault for not being clear enough. Preventing suicide is a two step process:

1) find high risk people

2) prevent their suicide attempts

My comment was simply relaying the POV of someone who does this professionally: as a society we are better than most people think at #1 and worse than most people think at #2.
The Golden Gate Bridge also isn't a place of work
This is why online teaching didn't take over college education the way administrators hoped it would 25 years ago. People like Hubert Dreyfus early on explained why it wasn't going to work (On the Internet, 2001).
I've heard of enough house phones with a hum. At the time I read everything I could find on low voltage wiring, and they recommended what I did. My phone lines are quiet. I also used cat5e for the phone lines and ethernet, and have no trouble with the 100Mb wires and gig equipment. (Cat6 wasn't available at the time.)

(The electrician tried to run cat3 or some other cheap garbage wire. He also tried to run RG59 coax, which I ripped out and replaced with RG6 quad shielded wire.)

> recent decade

This was in 1999. The wiring has survived several upgrades in digital equipment and bandwidth without change.

Then it evidently is a problem, as otherwise the filter wouldn't be necessary. Besides, my phone was built in the 1950s.

I think our expectations are simply out of alignment. What you're advocating for is unreasonable if a loss of hardware tokens means a permanent loss of account access with no recourse, and I don't think that's a hard case to make to legislators and regulators.

I was pattern matching Carvana to a company called Sidecar[0] this summer when I heard my friend say he bought a car for something like $5k less than any dealership in town was offering it for.

Sidecar was the "3rd company" that did ride-sharing in my city in 2014-2015, after Lyft and Uber. Somehow they were selling rides from any point in the city to any other point in the city for $1. I suppose it was getting subsidized by VC money; and I took probably $500 worth of rides for a year or so until it shut down.

Justice is what happens when people are held accountable for the wrong things they've done.

Nothing about justice requires that punishment be meted out in strict accordance with the demographic breakdown of a population except insofar as wrong things are done in strict accordance with the same demographic categories.

Maybe you're assuming that to be the case, but I don't think you'll find any evidence to support such a claim.
You could even make the daisy wheels swappable to allow different character sets.

ChatGPT surely doesn't, but perhaps its cousin does. Someone, or something, hacked that U.S. Nuclear Weapons Agency immediately after they stopped using floppy disks and went online. The announcement that the U.S. nuclear arsenal no longer relies on floppy disks was made in the New York Times on October 24th, 2019 (see https://archive.md/lvkmnThe and https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/us/nuclear-weapons-floppy...). The U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration is believed to have been breached by the transitive property because they granted a vendor named SolarWinds the ability to remotely manage their systems and SolarWinds got hacked, according to Natasha Bertrand and Eric Wolff at Politico on December 17th, 2020 (see https://archive.md/ZTPOP and https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/17/nuclear-agency-hack...). The first evidence that artifacts distributed by SolarWinds had been tampered with dates back to October 2019 according to Tomislav Peričin at ЯeversingLabs (see https://archive.md/HbzUC and https://blog.reversinglabs.com/blog/sunburst-the-next-level-...). Let's also not forget that the coronavirus was first discovered in November 2019.

More than just that. 2FA should

1a) be possible to be disabled or

1b) Offer non-electronic second factors such as paper codes

2) Offer a broad range of options in general, not just phone or even worse only SMS. I can count the services that I can use my Yubikeys with on one hand

3) Be predictable (or at least be configurable like that) by the user and not behave different on weird conditions such as your IP

4) Allow to configure more than just 2 factors. 2 factors are really bad. It should usually be 1 or 3+.

5) It should educate properly about how to use it and also about the risks (e.g. increased change of losing access, especially when certain factors are used)

I think that when identity proofing actually becomes important, we should fully leave private services. That is something too important, so the state should either standardize and enforce it or offer it. Maybe, offering a wide-scale MFA / Auth solution should come with similar restrictions that we have for finance, including the identity proofing fallback your mentioned.

In a flash of brilliance that came from where I don't know, I looked up their website and emailed their engineer. I got the most detailed and thorough response I think I've ever received back from a cold email.

A protip in that vein: If you want to read a scientific paper but can't afford the journal fee online, email the author(s). Turns out they love when people are interested in their work, have the right to share it, and will send you a copy 100% of the time I've tried this. Sample size: 1
We couldn't find another way to get a steady 30Hz. I don't think there was a pthreads implementation for the PSX SDK, but it's been a little over 27 years, so I can't swear to it. I do know we didn't do it without trying a bunch of other more conventional alternatives.
> The answer to "why hasn't technology disrupted [XYZ]" is always that the problems in XYZ weren't technology related in the first place.

I wonder why one would want to "disrupt* [XYZ] in general, and education in particular. Disruption seems to me to almost always being a net negative for everyone except the upstarts who displaced the incumbents by literally breaking their market - particularly, the customers end up holding the short end of the stick.

> Ultimately technology won't "fix" the higher education system, but simply make it less relevant in the practical world.

That is how technology works, which is why I don't like the whole "you can't fix a social problem with technology" line. You absolutely can. It's usually the only way you can fix it. And most of the time, the fix doesn't address the problem directly, just makes it go away by restructuring incentives that lead to it in the first place.

Thus, my belief is that the answer to "why hasn't technology disrupted [XYZ]" is that the technology the asker has in mind barks up the wrong tree. The [XYZ] in question isn't a fixed artifact you can sculpt, but an equilibrium of economic and social incentives. It's dynamically maintained, so pushing directly against it means you'll be pushed back at. You can make a small dent somewhere, then you run out of money or will, and status quo resumes.

EDIT:

Or, if you have access to billions of dollars of VC money, you can try and do it the hard way, to detonate a metaphorical nuke in a valley to reshape it completely. Maybe you'll succeed, but more likely, you'll just starve every established company/institution to death, and then still run out of money, leaving just a completely broken [XYZ]. See my previous point about disruption not being all that positive. It's what's currently happening in food delivery and private transportation, as restaurants and taxi companies are being outcompeted by unsustainable corporations operating at a loss.
How would a mirrored boot work in practice? Normally the first bootable partition gets loaded if it’s corrupt, it would keep failing at the same bad sectors.

Would it randomly pick one of the bootable disks? That way you have an n-1/n chance of avoiding the bad disk?
They kill themselves at an alarming rate. I'd say give fixing the root issue a try and see what happens. I imagine the existing homeless population wont be an issue for very long after you stop generating new homeless.
I think this is the best argument that SBF didn't intend to commit fraud, so much as fraudulent activity with the expectation that it'd all work out somehow. If the exchange contagion was quelled (partially by his actions backstopping other liquidity crises), and cryptocurrencies went generally up, and FTT was strengthened by FTX's appearance of strength, then all of these problems would have gone away.

If he had simple fraudulent intent (i.e. personal enrichment at the expense of customers), he would have had a plan. One that included adequate cash socked away in appropriate locations. Something much more well-thought out than "a US-friendly island 2 hrs by plane from SDNY".

After several very successful interviews and a very optimistic report from the recruiter, Gitlab called me to reject me- at 3 AM, on New Year's Day, as in right as I was getting home from celebrating opportunities in the year to come.

3 AM, New Year's Day. Awful timing. The author here talks about not being a fit- yeah that f---ery made it clear that company was not a fit for me. And I lost all respect for them, and have never seen a reason to offer them a 2nd chance, either as an employee or a customer.

FTX Founder Sam Bankman-Fried Arrested, Bahamas Says
I see I'm a little late to the discussion, but this is very similar to the patented Fusion device I've been proposing for several years here. http://www.DDproFusion.com

The main idea behind my reactor is to contain NIF like explosions in magnetic fields. I've been trying to get a test reactor built for a long time, and my plans have been hampered by a theft earlier this year.

A huge difference between the current NIF device and my proposed device is the speed of implosions and the strength of the field. While the NIF device must be re-built before every implosion, my device creates an environment where the implosions form as part of a harmonic oscillation. The ions are allowed to travel their entire individual cyclotron trajectories before they return to the implosion site... my target frequency was 2.4GHz, which is a useful frequency for direct conversion and COTS components.

It wasn’t at the low end whatsoever, it was perfectly in line with the sentencing guidelines for the charges she was accused and convicted of.

Federal sentencing is actually really easy to predict. You can almost always ignore the proclamations of “could be 130 years” since those are often only for serious repeat offenders and tons of sentencing enhancements.

Skip down to the process part of this post:

https://prisonprofessors.com/calculating-holmes-prison-sente...

Once we know what SBF is going to be charged with, we’ll know what his eventual sentencing range will be if he’s convicted. For all of the conspiracy theorizing and dramatics, it boils down to a very boring sentencing chart.

I had a similarly frustrating issue happen with PayPal, only they were refusing to let me log in with my YubiKey, insisting on SMS. But their phone system couldn't send a message to me by SMS. It errored before it even tried, because I could have gotten a code on that phone if they had actually sent it.

If I've agreed to use and keep track of a very small physical device to access my account, don't be going letting any ol' person who can access my phone number in there!
I think it is hard to say actually. An account that gets killed off by 2FA failures is dead, which is definitely extremely annoying. But on the other hand — the maximum cost that could be incurred is just the value of the account, and lots of our accounts are actually basically valueless (Facebook, Twitter).

On the other hand if your account is taken over, it could be used to perpetuate scams (which could harm your loved ones if they fall for the scams), it could be used for various things that might hurt your reputation. Or depending on the type of account it might be a stepping stone to get into, I dunno, your bill-paying account for some utility company, which will probably have all your bank account details in there because utilities companies tend to not be super on the ball about that kind of thing.
Of course, this gets back to how all this vaunted GPT stuff is ultimately mostly a black box and all attempts to control its responses are just adding more black boxes wrapped around the black box.
