I've done something similar - and less ambitious - on bike in NYC: I biked all Brooklyn and at this point 90% of Manhattan.

I bet Pittsburgh is next-level confusing. But I think the philosophical questions apply anywhere. I enjoyed that as much as the actual endurance, and I loved seeing him dedicate so much time to that. It's not obvious when you start how subtle these questions get.

Challenges I remember:

- what level of highway counts. Some surface road highways are clearly navigable. Interstates obviously aren't.

- on-ramps. When does a local road end and highway begin? What do you do when the ramp is a gradual transition from a local road?

- divided roads (i.e. parallel north/south roads separated by a median, highway service roads)

- roads that peter out into alleys, sort of go through peoples' property, may be fenced off, may be legal thoroughfares even if fenced off

- campus road networks with varying levels of gate access / accessibility

- access roads behind apartment complexes that only led to driveways

- housing project street grids

- park roads, bike paths, walking paths, trails

- intersections with distinct turn lanes, plazas in the middle, etc.

- highways / bridges only accessible once a year (i.e. dedicated bike tours)

If your product doesn't serve your potential customers the way you demonstrate in ads, it is false advertising at the very least. The idea that companies don't have responsibility to produce something that works as intended for those who buy them is laughable in its ignorance of the history of consumer protection regulations.
The person who founded Elliott Management (Paul Eliott Singer) is far from a saint, but he has been astonishingly accurate during his career. According to Wikipedia (I did a big deep dive into this hedge fund and person after reading the submitted article), he warned about CDOs in 2006. The hedge fund also exited its holdings in Twitter in June 2022, right before the Musk-pocalypse.

I'm kind of astounded the article didn't talk about Paul Singer at all. It seems like a massive oversight to not dig into the money behind Barnes and Noble.
I don't really understand the value of a project like PostgREST.

It feels like you're coupling your application schema to your database schema, which is something you generally want to avoid.

Is this only for niches where you are ok with the db schema being tightly coupled? Do you use specific views to decouple the two schemas? In that scenario it seems like you might eventually get to a point where your view is more complicated than setting up a more traditional application.
If you want to be really devilish, once they unlock their phone plug it into a computer in front of them.

If they ask what you’re doing tell them “I have a buyer for all of this…”

Some people are happy to sell their souls because they assume they’re virtuous enough to get universal approval.

Some people are naive.
This seems like a real trend and I'm curious what experiences people here have had or are having with this. It seems to me like it might be a major culture clash. My experience of "big tech" was of very little process a huge amount of autonomy and ownership of projects for individual engineers and long cycles for deliverables aligned with quarters or semi-yearly performance reviews. Whereas my experience with more "enterprise" companies is of "agile" processes like scrum or scaled agile framework, more detailed roadmaps with shorter deliverable cycle times oriented around "sprints" of a couple weeks, and significantly less individual autonomy and ownership. And beyond process differences, there are a bunch of other culture clashes, I think, in things like the level of focus on tooling, operations, observability, etc. etc.

I'm fascinated which of these borgs will assimilate the other as they increasingly mix, or whether everything will balance out somewhere between. I'd love to hear what others are seeing.
They generally switch the machines from mostly cold drinks in the summer to 20-30% hot drinks in the winter. It's a well known and common way to warm your hands, buy a hot drink from a vending machine.

Due process is mostly useful after the fact, when you have the opportunity, at great personal expense, to convince the DA, judge, and/or jury that the criminal justice apparatus screwed up in charging you.

Warrants are easily acquired, and you will be charged based on a far lower standard of evidence than the state must meet to convict you.

While you can then avail yourself of due process, the deck is stacked against you — the cost to adequately defend yourself is astronomical.

You’re likely to take a plea deal to avoid the expense and risk of a trial; an enormous number of innocent people take plea deals or are wrongfully convicted every single day.

Better to keep the fox out of the hen house in the first place.
There is no perfect analogy though, it is not the same as renting either. It is buying, with an asterisk. The company could go defunct. We can regulate the bit about their ability to revoke access to digital goods already purchased, but it's tough to do anything about the company itself going tits up.

I just treat it as a open end rental. The ability to revoke my access to the book lowers the value. The ability to instantly get the book in seconds adds to the value. I keep my expectations clear from the beginning.

Yes, we can argue that regular people are just too stupid to understand that. I don't really agree with that attitude.
Of course they didn't do it to specifically disadvantage black people, but they clearly did not do their due diligence to make sure it worked properly with black people. That's the issue. You're doing semantic quibbling over your own particular notion of what "racism" is.

Yes, I'm not defending Canada's high rates. It does indeed have much higher data rates than anywhere else, as can be seen on the BNEsim rates for various countries. I was just pointing out that you can get much cheaper rates than the advertised plans if you dig a little.
> If there really are meteorites on the ground, hundreds of thousands of dollars could be on the line. But these hunters will need to act fast if they want a piece of it—literally

Sigh. Money rules everything, doesn't it?

The government could pass a law making all meteors falling in the country government property. The practical effect would be to prevent these auctions from happening as well as a prosecution mechanism for when someone is caught trying to sell. The black market would still exist, but finding buyers willing to pay as much as auction events would be more difficult.

Because meteor rocks are a scarce resource, they should ideally belong to scientific organizations, not in people's private collections.
Not part of the Twitter Files, but Glenn Greenwald's article from yesterday is a nice addition to the story about government involvement in social media. He had a video about Ukraine's Zelensky that was taken down from TikTok (a Chinese company), and he has reason to believe this was because of US government pressure: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/reflecting-new-us-control-o...
I built a monitoring system. Datadog seemed way better and more immediately useful.
Then we got the bill.

What I should have done is added three engineers to the project and made our own homegrown system better and more useful.
The goofiest part was how, often, one of the unskippable things making paid media worse was an anti-piracy notice! The only people to be pestered with them were those who'd paid for the thing—pirates never saw that crap.
Are you really backing the argument that Apple’s product team is composed of mustache-twirling racists?
Do you feel they should have a disclaimer about it being harder to take picture of dark skinned people in many settings with their cameras as well?

Evolved to eat plans as an option, yes, but not as a preference. It is so hard to get enough plant calories without being bloated and with difficulties digesting, and that's with modern, highly selected for plants... My bet would be we evolved to eat animal fats and protein, and that is most of the selection pressure for our big brains too. Hunting while being a rather frail primate takes brains.

When you see ‘cauliflower wings/vegan buffalo wings’ on a menu it is typically _not_ because someone from the ‘vegan movement’, whatever that is, put it there, but because the restaurant wanted something vegan which is not alienating to its non-vegan customers.

You’re much less likely to see this sort of thing in actual vegan restaurants.

Is it because of the filters?
I'm curious about the word 'bias' here. From a technical perspective, does the pulse oximetry sensor just have more variance on darker skin (presumably from it being more opaque and signal to noise being worse), or is there an actual bias (e.g. reads high all the time)?
I agree about Gatiss. I really enjoyed the original 1972 version of "The Amazing Mr Blunden" and was excited to see it getting remade last year (by Gatiss) but it was just meh.

I went on a scavenge hunt for M.R. James productions after catching Robert Lloyd Parry's (https://www.nunkie.co.uk/the-mr-james-project) reading of two stories in the basement of Bristol Cathedral. I've got hold of A View From A Hill but haven't seen it yet. Incidentally, I did enjoy the recent Count Magnus.

This reminds me of the back and forth discussion on EVs vs ICEVs. Yes, if your use case requires you to go to a remote location to buy the product, your purchase pattern is going to reflect that. You refuel your car once a week or so, I refuel every single night. You go buy multiple books at a time at a bookstore, I buy them on the fly at the moment I want them.
Even if it were freely available, there's no way to run GPT3 or ChatGPT on any existing desktop hardware. The exact hardware requirements aren't public either (yes, very "open") but a full 175-billion-parameter GPT3 instance requires hundreds of gigabytes of GPU memory, and even though ChatGPT is "smaller and better", when it comes to conversational dialogue, there's no way to fit it in current consumer hardware.
This one is funny, the history doesn't really matter, but might as well throw it out there.

Buffalo wings are named after the city Buffalo in New York State. It's that spicy buttery style of baked on sauce that got popular and spread around.

You could obviously bread and bake the sauce onto anything, I like it on potatoes. It's a funny modifier, because it's sort of the sauce, it's sort of the preparation, like you might say cajun style, but the phrase only seems to be used around wings.

Buffalo cauliflower makes sense to me, but I internalized the word differently.
I think "vegan" also implies a lifestyle whereas you can favor plant-based food without being a full-time vegan.
I'd also add that the money was borrowed from an institution not otherwise connected to or run by Elon Musk and the value of a share of TSLA is set by factors out of his direct control.

It's not like he borrowed the money from Space X by giving them TeslaBucks, and claiming that one TeslaBuck was worth $1000 USD. That would be dodgy as shit. And more analogous to what happened between FTX and Alameda.

In a hunter-gatherer context, fat is surplus. And it virtually only comes from animals. Also true in the animal kingdom. Having fat means you're doing better than just surviving. If you drop someone into the woods and check on them later and they've amassed a bunch of fat (killed a moose, bear, etc). then they're clearly very competent.

I guess what I'm saying is it's not surprising that our bodies like it.
This became a bigger deal with COVID, because crashing O2 levels could occur even when someone is subjectively feeling relatively fine - e.g., they think they've got mild COVID and then are all of a sudden at deaths door with little warning. Not something most people generally need though.
They are an accomplishment, you spent time and improved security on something. I am only familiar with CVEs where unless MITRE overrides, it is up to the vendor to issue a CVE.

Vuln IDs to researchers are what git merged PRs are to devs. It is "creds" but the amount of reputation depends on the amount of work you did. So finding a minor DoS on a little used app isn't the samr as logstash. This is an important incentive because they could have silently sold it to zerodium or on raid/xss using an alias. Bug bounties are better imo but a vuln id is a resume item at least. Having creds and bragging about them are different things imo.
This is beautiful :) Thanks for sharing!
>Failure to create and enforce laws that prevent human trafficking fall squarely on government, and subsequently the people who choose cost as the main priority when purchasing a product or service and then vote for representatives that ensure cheap goods continue to flow.

Producers have responsibility as well. Government should enforce such laws and consumers, in an idealistic sense, should be able to choose products and services that don't require slavery. Meanwhile, pretending that as a producer or supplier, I have no power or choice in the selection of labor is a farce at best. Every participant in a given market has some degree of responsibility.

The market itself is a system of policies, regulations, actions, and so on contributed to not solely by government or its constituents but also by private entities that have financial influence in policy making, often more than the people we're looking at in the mirror. Yes, as a consumer I have some responsibility and yes, governments have some responsibility as well, but so do other players like businesses and the very structure of the policies, regulations, and even incentives in a given market structure. Ignoring these is just passing blame along to others. It's critically important to realize that not everyone has the same weight of influence in a given market. I can look in the mirror all day but the influence in my choice of a my potential future EV purchase has miniscule sway relative to the opinions of someone like, say Elon Musk with a mountain of resources and influence.

I don't want to avoid that.
It’s not just the giant companies. I had good experience with YI cameras from Kami and so I purchased about 7 of them. Suddenly they decided to go to a subscription model, and sent me an email

“After years of growing, we are at the point that our systems can no longer support free 6 second video storage for all our users”

I proceeded to remove the cameras and replaced them with on site NVR. After I did this I receive another email-

“ WE ARE SORRY.

Due to a system error, we sent you an email by mistake expressing that we will no longer support free 6 second video for the Yi/Kami Home app. Do not worry, you will still have this feature.”

Too late. I also find myself moving away from subscription based types of experience whenever I can, where the company can just remove feature or content at will. I wonder if there is a name in marketing circles for this behavior.
You release a PoC and try to get mitre or whoever maintains the system to override the vendor if it is serious enough.
Because meat is expensive, primarily. Especially from poorer backgrounds there is a culture of minimizing meat consumption and saving it for children just because of it's rarety.

That's the meat of the argument for me.
If they both had a filter named Lo-Fi you’d have a point. Having all the same names makes this very obviously just plagiarism.
We’re considering it for a use case at work. In our case, it’s to allow a team of analysts to be more or less self sufficient in publishing some data for external consumption without needing to deal with deployments and the like. This way, changing requirements can be handled by the analysts themselves by updating the tables or views published by PostgRest, without needing to think about changing a REST service and such.

I'm surprised they didn't recommend dnsmasq to begin with, it's a lot lighter on resources which could be important with low-end machines, and with DNS and DHCP services baked in to one process you don't need to worry about configuring hungrier services like dhcpd and BIND to read each other's state.

The only reason I'd recommend dhcpd/bind over dnsmasq for a small lab is if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the former pair for use in larger networks with more expansive requirements.
I would figure that the conversion to cash would be the taxable event. After all their value is largely indeterminate (and at that point 0) while the collectible is being given out.

IIRC this created problems for Blizzard when they did the real money auction house on Diablo III, and was part of why that was ended.
TLDR: I understand the author's sense of frustration, but I think DoS (including ReDoS) is trickier to handle than ignoring a class of vuln.

Denial-of-service vulnerabilities in general are something I usually find uninteresting, because in situations I'm likely to find myself in, they don't let me do anything I consider valuable.

I still typically report them, because I can imagine situations where this would definitely not be the case, e.g. if the organization using the product is under attack (time of war, protestors with a political goal, etc.).

Back when I was still in IT, I even experienced it once myself. Someone (apparently randomly) targeted the business I worked for with a massive UDP amplification DDoS. It was pretty eye-opening. The colocation facility they attacked literally would not take action (not even blocking a single destination port upstream) unless we paid extra for their anti-DDoS service.

ReDoS seems like something that's probably rarely useful to an attacker, but understanding the full scope can be challenging for a pen tester vs. the people who actually develop and use something, and so I err on the side of reporting something as a low/informational severity versus not reporting it at all. This is especially true if the vuln is in a library. We typically report library issues to whoever maintains the library, but that also means that most proofs of concept or exploitation scenarios are going to be less realistic than one where we show end-to-end exploitation in a full application.

Formula-based vuln scoring systems are inherently broken (IMO), but maybe one band-aid for this would be to have a separate score for any availability-related effects, to make it easier to filter out in situations where DoS isn't a significant concern.
You can say the same for Apple. I think the trademark applies when a common word is used in a distinct business case. Here the word is used as a filter name, for instance. That application is unique.
People said that to me in 2014. 8 years later Tesla sells over 1 million EVs a year and Toyota sells how many EVs?
Hafting an Axe: DIY (2020)
I used to live in a country with shitty police. An American I knew there reported several crimes. The officer would ask for his ID and when he opened his wallet the officer would extract his cash and send him on his way. Weirdly, he always believed it would be better next time, but this was actually the good level of service. The locals never went to the police because they knew to expect worse. The police in many countries serve only the powerful and themselves.

Veganism is a moral and ethical lifestyle choice with wide ranging implications whereas plant-based is a descriptor of the things that go into a foodstuff.

A vegan will only eat plant-based food (and so “plant-based” and “vegan” are often used interchangeably to describe a food) but someone who follows a plant-based diet might buy leather goods (and is therefore not vegan).

A good example of this nuance is the Impossible Burger. The Impossible Burger is plant-based but not vegan because it was tested on animals.

And it seems to me they've cut direct flights -- still plentiful on many of the hops (say, LAS <-> LAX) but scarcer on longer routes (say SLC <-> LAX).

And on the shorter routes, driving is roughly competitive time-wise...

There are slightly different rules for health devices than for leisure ones. If the problem is real, then it seems reasonable to me for Apple (and everyone else, just to be clear) to be made to amend their printed materials to properly disclose well-known-to-Apple problems with oximetry in darker skin. Again, if the problem is real, then they guy deserves a refund, fees covered, maybe a small token for the effort, and for Apple to not make product claims that it can't fulfill. I do hope it doesn't turn into a giant thing though.

More gaslighting.

The fact is this behaviour and bias was rejected and ignored as "paranoia" for years until these files were released to confirm it all and worse - US intelligence and law enforcement involvement.
