I take two thing from this move:

- things that work sooner or later will prevail, BUT only when some have found the way to overturn their functioning from "good for all" to "good for some, mostly against all the rest";

- the "free market" model of classic liberalism was built because those who have built it was LESS powerful than governments, then they successfully penetrate government, reach a certain level of power than their propaganda change back to the classic pro-governance propaganda, in software terms this is simple: before many pushed their proprietary model BUT when some succeed really others who do not can't destroy the new monopoly, so they turn to a mocked freedom move.

Google Maps is simply a proprietary de-facto monopoly, the only way to crush it is being better and the only way to being better is being open. The very thing they deny until the day before, then they falsely embrace to create their walled gardens, now the embrace more crushing the walls since they can't survive internally. Unfortunately people do not realize that.
Taking Christianity specifically as that's the only religion I know at least a little.

A lot of the more specific day-to-day life advice in those texts are outdated because they're based on societal circumstances of the time, which have changed by now. Or they are explanations of phenomena that we have a much better grasp on now. Or they make claims that are implausible given today's understanding.

Religions teach us some valuable high-level concepts, like love and compassion. Those values are extremely important, but also not terribly interesting. You can totally arrive at them through other means.

I don't see how those high-level values help at solving modern crises of global scale. Believers searching for specific advise on modern day problems need to work hard and read though a lot of "code" to find a few nuggets - ultimately failing to get specific enough answers.

If I do a web search on what the bible says to homosexuality, for instance, I get walls of text discussing precious few bible verses. In effect the bible, being what it is, allows those in charge to impose their individual preferences and opinions on their believers by means of laying out suitable interpretations of the code.

I am tempted to conclude that there is less collected wisdom in the bible than you might think, and more potential for harm than you like to admit.
Snapchat's API call obfuscation:

This one about TikTok was recently on the HN front page:

Seems likely that they just did ORDER BY RANDOM rather than picking and choosing.
The joke was the combined company would be called Snapple.
My strategy is to answer every call but remain silent. 9/10
times they hang up after 2 seconds. The remainder are 50/50 real calls and manual spam calls. My assumption is that the robo dialers are recording the success or failure, and if you answer quickly but stay silent, that's some kind of failure. I've done this for a few years and I feel like I get less spam than I used to. Looking at my call log, it looks like I've had less than 5 spam calls in December.
I believe this is not correct. You are definitely not able to get random people's (including government officials) phone numbers and email address using the API.
Twitter originally was done via SMS, that's why status lengths were limited to 140 characters. So, obviously you needed a phone number when it first started.
My comment was only targeted against the claim that prefering easier onboarding (made by the parent comment) only means increasing profits (which probably is also true). Don't get me wrong, I am not making any "lastpass is better" point or anything, I currently think of switching to 1password, because it seems like the better solution overall.

> urges users to print a backup copy

I read it a few times in this thread already, but with the general lack of printers for most people, I find it kind of funny. I personally guess that more people put it unsecured in their dropbox than people actually printing it.

> I think this breach shows that the security reduction was too high a price to pay for it.

I think this breach shows that operational security for lastpass is lacking, something distinctly different from the password storage system security. Although it might be linked as in teams building less secure systems might have worse security themselves.
Sorry, what are we looking at? Looks maybe like vaporizers? Is there cannabis in the picture? (low resolution, can't make it out)
The church didn’t move the celebration as such, since nobody knew when Jesus was born in the first place. The bible does not give any date (not even a year).

We dont really know how the church came up with december 25. The theory it was selected to coincide with a pagan holiday is just speculation. Probably not a coincidence it is so close to winter solstice, but there is no evidence.

Does it work when both users have symmetric NAT with randomized ports?

WebRTC provides an abundance of hole punching, but as far as I've learned, nothing gets through symmetric NAT with randomized ports.

Except for relays (TURN), which isn't P2P.
Well I still use "Paint" for quickly editing images / pictures, in combination with IrfanView. But Notepad is literally unusable compared to Notepad++. If they (M$) copy Notepad++ it's fine with me, one less dependency to install. But I doubt it, too small of a tool in the M$ ecosystem, although I use plain text editing and hence Notepad++ maybe 20-50% of the time spent on Windows.
An antidote to bullshit (e.g., unproductive meetings that you still have to go to) is journaling. When you're writing to yourself, for no other audience but yourself, you can be 100% honest. So that helps serve to counteract it and give strength, sometimes you also see things from another person's perspective. e.g. the meeting may have some value to your boss, which has follow-on benefits to you that you hadn't considered.
Depending on your phone provider you can activate a feature that challenges the caller to solve a small problem before connecting the call.

TELUS calls it “Call Control”, and all its subsidiaries offer it. The major phone providers offer it too. It is the only thing I miss from my old TELUS plan.

I love how the zeitgeist / popular culture allows this expression to escape the original context and become popular, but not a silly meme.
I don't know if something has changed recently but at least as of 2016 when I signed up for a new account, I got immediately placed on a suspicious user list and had to use a phone number to prove I was a human. It was just a prepaid cell phone number that I don't even remember anymore so I don't know how it helped anything but yeah.

I suspect twitter did this to pretty much everyone.
It was never only sms though.

Quoting sources from after acceptance of the Clovis timeline in support of assertions about hostility to it utterly fails to support any claim, or even make sense on its own terms.
RFID self checkout was the best self checkout i witnessed. Just put all your items in this box at the self checkout and automagically all your items get listed on the screen, you pay and thats it.

The User Experience is so good, but to have this every product needs an rfid tag and i don't think this will be achievable for every store. For example grocery shopping, imagine every little chocolate bar and chewing gum would need an rfid tag.

Maybe it will get more and more to clothing stores, as most of them already have an rfid tag for theft detection.
Code = law, until that law inevitably works against the people claiming it is law and they want to rollback their mistake.

That was the right price at the time and patience is certainly not his virtue. Like I said putting it all on the line is how he operates.
The professional side has just about migrated to ECDIS. [1] Certified electronic charts with extra screens and independent power backups to make it as safe as regular paper charts in emergencies.

Almost all new ships on international voyages are required to have ECDIS and year by year it covers more older vessels.

What is left is commercial smaller vessels which tend to have a set of certified paper charts over the area they operate rolled up in a corner of the bridge and then use a unclassified electronic system for day to day operations.

Then we have the boating/cruising people, they have been electronic forever. People do not care enough about backups but it is what it is. Personally I run a large power bank and charts on my phone allowing me to navigate for days in case the boat's systems die.

All in all, the market for paper charts have become increasingly niche over the years.

Ultimately I trust that they do as they say, which is necessary to any modern computer use. The same way that I have to trust that my OS vendor is not stealing everything I have.
I don't think it was full out from Russia's side. They could still mobilize millions and use nukes. They haven't really bombed Kyiv's critical infrastructures and government buildings, for example president's office.

Used the same example as the author with 100500 iterations. I think with some good wordlists, I'd wager a ton of low hanging fruits will be wiped within a reasonable time. If we're talking a threat actor with $$, they'd do some serious damage on this dump.

*edit: just wanted to clarify that I think bruteforcing this dump wouldn't be as useful. It would still take a crapload of resources to be effective or useful in that scenario.
My very personal main pain point is documentation: Nix/NixOS do have some, but mostly or too little or deprecated.

Where is a proper Flake documentation? Where is a proper $newNixFeatureInVogueNow?

The second pain point is: Nix might sound nice to read and write as a language for Haskellers, but most people actually aren't haskellers...

The third is essentially the fists, more specified: target. If the target is desktop, or server, or HPC, or development docs should be shaped per target. Actually NixOS is designed mostly with dev desktops and infra target, but docs are not even for new devs, more something added aside just because it's part of the duty provide them in some form...

In what world are adults organized in fraternities with arcane rules everyone has follow? In what adult world are adult women not allowed to host parties with alcohol while having to rely on male friends to host such parties in their dorms? That literally mandate going to parties for members?

The above are all features of greek life at Stanford. You know why sorroties dont allow alcohol parties? Because adults who finished college long time ago run the larger organization and these are rules they impose. This has nothing to do with spontaneous self organization of students.

In what adult world do adult throw temper tamptrum for years because salamander took precedence over sand hill build during drunken party years ago? In what adult world is "social life" equated with fraternities? Like, in adult world, lakes on institution property do get sometimes close for public for whole host of reasons, without that being framed as "war on fun".

Unimportant side not is, if you go to university primary for education and do not want have large part of life mandated by institution, you stay out of greek life (as majority of students do).
> Twitter originally was done via SMS, that's why status lengths were limited to 140 characters. So, obviously you needed a phone number when it first started.

This isn't what we are talking about. We are talking about requiring users to "prove they are human" by giving Twitter a phone number and then entering an authentication code that they text to that number.

It doesn't accomplish anything because I can get a new SIM card and a month of "unlimited" talk and text prepaid service for about USD 20(?). I didn't think of it much but looking back it is clearly a data grab.

Prediction: China will simply ignore this law, and will become the greatest AI power.
My personal discoveries:

* Websockets + JSON is 8x faster than HTTP and less error prone, so I worked on HTTP elimination in my app to great success. It has all the advantages of gRPC but you don’t have to deal with protobuf.

* Browser performance. My OS GUI loads in 200ms on Chrome and 300ms on Edge with full state restoration, which is faster than the GPU can visually render the output to screen. The performance tab in the browser dev tools is amazing.

* When you have a solid foundation you can scale an application in any direction very quickly. In the browser I am working directly to the DOM and treating it no differently than the file system: a big giant globally available living tree model. In the past week I wrote a command terminal that works in the browser with autocomplete and ANSI color support and it took about 10-12 hours because the application is mature.

* I see many new developers struggle with async functions and promise chains. I made a commitment to myself to avoid such struggles and fallback to old style callbacks which are more verbose and less clever.
As others have mentioned, the time range of when the data was scraped seems to be end of 2021 to start of 2022, maybe into mid 2022. If correct, that was certainly before Elon Musk took over, probably even before he made his initial offer.
> which percentage of developers have ECC on their development machine(s)?

That question won't help you evaluate the demand for ECC simply because the supply is strangled. Those who want it have to make compromises to get ECC: get a Xeon, or get one of few AMD motherboards with matching CPUs and overpriced RAM without a guarantee that it will end up working.
When people complain about these random OS crashes and freezes it's usually RAM corruption at fault.

Per 1gb of RAM, you can expect to see 266 bit errors per month[1-2] if you are using your PC 16h per day. Multiply that by 64GB or 128GB of RAM and it's crazy to think that you won't run into any of the stability issues.

Even the LastPass will be stolen, deal with it (2015) [pdf]
FWIW, I've run into this with preprints. I had a paper up on a preprint server, and it was under review for a while. In the meantime, I became aware of another paper that pretty clearly used my paper and an earlier closely related one (to the point that some of the language was the same), passing it off as original. When this came up, their response was pretty similar to that in the OP here: things not formally peer reviewed "don't count" and essentially don't exist (and presumably are fair game to plagiarize?).

The paper was eventually published and there's a paper trail, but I wonder how it will all play out.

It feels a little like a wild west to me.

1. A breakthrough in "deepfake voice" is made that can emote convincingly. It is used to add Marilyn Monroe or James Dean to a TV show or movie. A US supreme court challenge to the admissibility of audio recordings is begun, after a murder case is thrown out due to evidence being shown to be an audio deepfake.

2. A single climate catastrophe-linked weather event causes tens of thousands of deaths. Governments pledge action, but nothing is done.

3. A hedge fund backed landlord service is launched. Sold to businesses, it is promoted as another benefit like health insurance for employees. Businesses love it because they can move people around like cargo.

4. Evidence is found that links microplastics to anti-social behaviour.

5. russian losses in Ukraine top 250,000. A new attempt to take Kyiv is made by russia, using the better-trained mobilized troops.

> One will drive and likely get into an accident

What are you basing this prediction on? There is extensive independent documented video evidence of FSD beta driving and navigating on unsealed roads in Michigan with no human intervention required. This includes driving at night, in the rain, and with a diverse array of obstacles.

> [Waymo is] just way further along in development

This may well be true. However there's no publicly available information to make any objective assessment. For better or worse (and I see valid arguments both ways) Tesla is airing their dirty laundry in public for all to see. It can be assessed by objective third parties in privately owned vehicles without the blessing or oversight of the parent company.

By comparison we have no way of assessing Waymo's stack objectively. For example we don't know to what extent corner cases are embedded into the software or handled by humans remotely. Was the 15th Avenue incident resolved by human intervention or an improvement to the stack? To what extent is their vision and planning stacks capable of universality or over-fitted to regional specifics? No objective analysis is possible, so no comparison is possible.
Civil law does not leave room for such creative interpretations. Even if the storage is being done client-side, as long as the company can access and use it, they will be considered to be having that information. Then GDPR will kick in. Note that cookies are also stored client side.
I agree, most modern academic mathematics is essentially a codebase with too much abstraction, impressive, but insane. It doesn't have to be harder, and programming is the out. So, in my opinion, you are just learning the wrong kind of math. Ideally, programming is exactly as hard as math.

Closer to the right kind of math:

Hacker selling 400M Twitter user emails and phone numbers

What, exactly, is being hand woven away? I’m describing the realities of EV ownership.

My car is always plugged in and therefore always at 80%. It takes a few hours after returning from a trip to charge it back up, regardless of the weather or other conditions, and the car is warmed up by the time I get into it using remote defrosting. In fact, during this snowstorm, my car always was consistently completely defrosted every time.

None of this sounds anywhere even remotely in the same ballpark as “a huge pain”.
(I'm not the person you replied to and talking in general)

Most likely they wouldn't. You can find sources to back up almost any claim. Without the context they're not actually all that useful.

Sure. But you can put pellets in a cage and burn them manually in fire stoves.

A pellets heated water system will need power to circulate the water so that won't work.

The gasoline power generator needed to power a pellets furnace is way smaller than for a heat pump system. Like 200W vs 10kW.

I meant more inline with "you got the energy in your house already".
