Michelin had a tire formula a few years ago that was augmented with natural hydrocarbons. They claimed that it gave the tire better performance at 50% tread wear as well. But I found out recently they don’t sell the model I bought anymore so I’m not sure if the expectations matched the projections or what happened.
It’s always good to have a Yubikey
I find that hard to believe.

I mean, after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 I remember seeing many video clips of the vehicle making its way to the building. Checking now, https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/the-oklahoma-city-... says "A 1999 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by investigative journalist David Hoffman revealed that the FBI had twenty-two video surveillance recordings of the Murrah building and surrounding area stored at the FBI’s Oklahoma City field office." Its Wikipedia entry links to https://web.archive.org/web/20170510090822/http://newsok.com... saying "Agents also examined more than 900 security videotapes".

If most cameras 'very frequently didn't work' then that means there were huge amounts of non-working cameras in the area. Which seems like an expensive waste of money.

I can well believe that some cameras didn't work - I already mentioned the bank robbery where the cameras had run out film months previously.

In any case, the original claim "No cameras 20-30 years ago" is simply not true.
Which abuse system? I worked there and I wasn't aware of myaccount changing behavior based on how "suspicious" the session is. In fact, I didn't know sessions had such an attribute, assuming this is true. Granted, I didn't work on the account dashboard, but still.

I'd assume it's more likely the behavior really is changing, specifically because in the past, the user's login session was treated as a valid factor alongside the user's password for disabling 2FA, which was criticized as being less secure than expected. However, I'm not sure they intended for the fix to that to not allow backup codes...
You might be surprised just how subtly corporations will break accounts that they are suspicious of. There is a whole world of anti-bot measures that come across to humans as just slightly odd behavior or weird bugs. It can be weirdly capricious as well. For example, I recently was having trouble logging into a website and was having to do a ton of SMS re-authentications. When logging into the website using Chrome I was given SMS messages with a 15 minute timeout. When logging in with Firefox the same SMS verification message only had a 5 minute timeout. Several times I would go through the authentication flow and then the service would seem to just crash, loading only a blank page, but I'm pretty sure that was just an anti-bot measure kicking in. I eventually only got it to work normally by switching over to my Phone's hotspot. The website was just hating on my IP address for no disclosed reason.
I don't get falafel. Chickpea tastes like sand. It always seemed to me like the kind of food you create when you don't have an alternative source of basic plant bulk for certain foods, like cornmeal or wheat flour or soybean.

Why not fill tofu with the same spices and deep fry that? To my palate that would be strictly better. Or alternatively like a hashbrown sandwich with indian spices in the hash brown seems like it would create the same result without leaving you with a mouthful of sand. Of course, I'm about as white man as you get so...
Of course you don't need to devote a register, so no spills.

Using the frame pointer for access to local stack spills is a pessimization the compiler should stop doing, regardless of the build mode.
this should be a cautionary tale for being careful how you model facts vs inferences, if you cant tell them apart your data is ruined
I’m mostly referring to federal law enforcement, I’m not familiar with local police suitability (but I’m guessing it’s not nearly as well resourced as the feds).
That's fairly normal. Secretaries who become The Story tend to find that's not a good spot, even if it's for positive reasons.

Buttigieg's biggest asset is likely his ability to get on Fox News for an interview and steamroller over their usual rhetorical tactics.

I'd really like to find a similar book on conic sections --- my next major project seems to need them, and when I tried to solve it using trigonometry alone, I wound up 7 or 8 levels deep in triangles and wasn't much more than half-way to where I needed to be.
Thank you for posting and reminding us that multiple 2FA methods are a good backup plan with Google.

I just added:

- SMS
- Authenticator app (Authy, of course)
- Generated backup codes

That in addition to my Pixel 4, and maybe 3-4 authorized devices (laptop, ubuntu desktop, windows desktop), I feel a bit better about this.

Sorry for your trouble though, I hope you figure it out.
Also, it's plausible that a Japanese spy would buy new glasses in the US. It would probably be smart. Why take a chance that someone will notice your slightly unusual-looking glasses? Just get new ones that look normal.
We should worry about the global phenomenon of microplastics for sure, but most of what’s in my yard came from litter or from the dryer vent.

Also they used to use more natural fibers and now it’s almost all blends, except some of the work clothes.
I expect the "so convenient" is sarcastic, but yes it is more convenient and also more secure.

It helps to consider the threat model. 2FA is protection against (at least) several things: brute-force password guessing, a stolen password, a hijacked email account, etc. Since password vaults like bitwarden are designed to be uncrackable on their own, the only plausible way for an attacker to compromise one is to gain control of the user's device, at which point they don't really need access to the vault because they don't just have the keys to the kingdom, they have the kingdom.

Any technology that allows users to add security to their assets while still being convenient enough to use daily, leads to greater security overall.

Personally I think we're about a decade or two overdue to switch away from passwords (as currently implemented) and towards public/private keys managed by the browser or an extension, but I don't see that happening anytime soon as it's 100% certain that if it's ever tried, each FAANG will just try to push their own system, break the whole effort with fragmentation, and everyone will still just be using passwords in frustration for the next 100 years.
Music.

Is.

Hard.

Understanding it and building useful models of it are really really hard.

Even building a functional content-driven also-bot is hard, although you can always solve that problem by cheating and aggregating playlist preferences.

Supposedly simple concepts like 'track BPM' just don't work reliably in the real world. (What's the tempo of a recording of a symphony, or even just a folk album that wasn't recorded to a click track? Or an EDM track with subtle tempo shifts - which quite a few tracks have?)

If they'd known more about music when they started they'd have understood this.

I wonder how good you can get at maths just by casually reading books. You need to work on problems for hours and hours to get a grasp on the theories.

Maybe I'm unique in this regard, but I always took it as sort of implied that "reading a math book" entails "reading the book and working (at least some of) the exercises".

The tricky part is once you get to math where you can't trivially check your answer by "substituting back in" or "using a calculator" or whatever. Doing proofs, for example. Without a teacher, how do you know if your proof is correct? So far the only thing I've really found to do for that is to post on MathOverflow or one of the "learn math" related sub-reddits. I've often wondered if learning to use an automated theorem prover / proof assistant of some sort would be helpful, but that's such a huge undertaking in its own right...

Retool Mobile Public Beta
It doesn’t need billions but it needs enough for dedicated staffing. Many federal agencies have the problem that they’re not given general funding for staff but are given money for large contract projects. It’s not uncommon for that to be structured in a way that, say, a big project has rooms full of developers, PMs, testers, etc. but something small has like one dude keeping it going when they can find time and a stream of unanswered requests to management asking go either fund or decommission it, hire a replacement for people who retired, etc. or that the big project which was supposed to replace it is years overdue.

I would not be surprised to learn that this was the case here, too.

> I wouldn't call it "healthcare" when they are opposing the body.

Come back and re-read this sentence if you ever get cancer.
I feel like you are arguing against hypotheticals. The actual papers are available[1][2]. The first uses a spatial model, which means there isn't just one "industrial revolution" but dozens, one per city.

> We rationalize these findings using a dynamic spatial model, where slavery investment raises the return to capital accumulation, expanding production in capital-intensive sectors. To establish causality, we use arguably exogenous variation in slave mortality on the passage from Africa to the Indies, driven by weather shocks.

The second paper focuses on labor-capital substitution. In this view, there are again many industrialization locations, but also each tech is a micro-revolution. You can even see the proposed causal DAG in Figure 4.

> To measure technological change, we collect new, granular data on the diffusion of technologies (both labor-saving and not) in industrializing England. To measure the geographical patterns of labor scarcity, we exploit the massive shock to labor supply that resulted from military recruitment during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815).

Neither paper predicts a boolean "revolution", because thats really an academic construct to describe a shift in practices over time with fuzzy boundaries and definitions. Instead they go after capital formation or adoption of labor saving devices, which seem like reasonable proxies.

Unnecessary. I am aware. It allows you to moderate yet still be treated as a neutral non-moderated purveyor of information.
How does this compare with fossil? I use fossil for personal projects.
With the caveat being I know nothing about them, is a service like Cultivate (https://www.wecultivate.us) a good alternative? Are there any others?

I went searching around for options after this change and the things I like seeing about Cultivate is that it both tells me about options to purchase an item on a site that is NOT Amazon, as well as keeping the donation feature.
> In a reasonable political system, that us what would have happened. Not necessarily with McCarthy, but some type of coalition government with bipartisan support.

In a reasonable political system, the various factions would be separate parties, and coalition building would be between whole parties, not between factions within a party. The US has an electoral system which does not produce a reasonable political system.

(“Bipartisanship” was a side effect of partisan incoherence during the long 1930s-1990s realignment, but it's not really something one would expect except on tangential issues with parties that are strongly aligned along the main salient ideological divide.)
Outside of ML and regarding systems in general…

Consider that systems arise from the relationship of working potentials.

So as many relationships as you can break your problem into are sub-problems to explore.
Agreed, but priorities: I think that new high concurrency backend is a more important improvement.
The dryer abrades the fabric. If you have a delicate or dear piece of clothing they always advise that you air dry it as the fabric will last longer. Those delicate bags for the washing machine are substantially about limiting abrasion from rougher clothing, and also about not accidentally running them through the dryer by tucking inside or clinging to something else.
This is extremely inconvenient as it means if you're signing up for an account you need to have access to all those devices, even the one that's supposed to be in vault storage (potentially a bank vault, etc).

TOTP just isn't a good protocol for this. Last-resort 2FA should be based on public key crypto where your last-resort device has a public/private key and you can enroll it as a recovery token by providing the (static) public key - this means you do not need active access to the device to enroll it.
Don't underestimate how stupid criminals can be. It's not like the prisons are empty because no one ever gets caught.
Barely? It proves it for the principal root, and you can trivially prove it for the negative root using the principal root's irrationality.
Right; you're basically using the filesystem to implement an index based on the attributes of the file according to the expected usage pattern.
Without any profit incentives, we could probably have a few bigger washing machines per apartment house. Then it could have reasonably short cycles.

How do you login to the authenticator itself? If it's MS-account-based doesn't that itself requires 2FA and you thus have a chicken & egg problem?

I recommend Kraken, especially for corporate accounts.

They actually have real support that cares. While I was trying to set up my account they kept asking for more and more information into the corporate structure.

I told them "guys, this is just a corporate account, we are going to be trading a limited balance, this is not a market maker, why are you asking us as if we are going to be trading millions monthly".

They actually empathized and proceeded to open the account without ridiculous scrutiny.

I am really confused as to why folks think Zuck is making editorial decisions. Facebook is not one person, and it makes its content decisions based on the brand and type of experience they think their customers want. Social media is not a right, nor is it even a specific thing. Facebook is a brand and a service for communicating to people you know in a family friendly way. They have no obligation to be a troll amplifier or to facilitate ideologies they feel are offensive to their target demographic and advertising base. That’s against the entire point of their for profit advertising based business, and would be materially harmful. Unlike common carriers you don’t rent time on Facebook to communicate. You agree to their T&C and their advertisers fund their service for you to be entertained by in exchange for the advertising. They never represented themselves as a free for all political outlet, and anyone who thinks otherwise just accepted “free signup” as “free speech” and clicked through the T&C that is written to protect their business.

The social media you refer to is abstractly the internet in general, and while your cause is considered toxic to business you may have a hard time finding a ready made platform with hundreds of billions of dollars invested in it for your spew, but you will always be able to find a way to host an endpoint and distribute your content. But no one is obligated to amplify it for you, especially not for profit enterprises who are creating a branded experience for their customers.
Link to a video of a Dr B Sidney Smith at Virginia Tech 1019. Seems to be about "collapse theory". One commentator calls the video "Amazing broad summary of ´the terror of the situation´."
Copyright hasn't stopped rampant piracy and bootlegging either, but a lot of that is due to super annoying or unavailable legal ways to stream/acquire the same content.

To add: it’s additionally a cop-out to restaurants providing a vegetarian option.

Eg. Burger joints without veg options are losing sales when a group including a vegetarian slips the meal instead of getting an impossible burger.
> Whoever hired you?

That's fair enough if it is clearly stated in the contract. If it is a silent assumption, that's not gonna work with me. It might be a bad attitude in the eye of the client, that's fine with me. I avoid those type of work anyway.

> No, I see this is a metric that matters for bad software engineers.

Well, this is a matter of opinion I guess. Not gonna argue with opinions, everybody is entitled to one. To give you my perspective, I think that is the sign of a good software engineer. He knows his role and what he studied for and focus on that. I don't want a half assed software engineer who doesn't know anything about business decision to make value judgment on a product. At least, I would not do it as a software engineer, is unfair and dishonest for both.

> Few people should be responsible, but everyone should think, plan and provide feedback.

Yes, everybody should participate in what they have competence of. As I'm never gonna argue with a UX/UI disegner about stylistic choices (accesibility, trends..? I don't know anything about that), I'm not gonna provide feedback on the value of a product. Hey, at the end everybody is free to do whatever they wish to and reap/face the consequences of it. It is just, I feel it is unfair to expect things from people for which they didn't spent year and money to study and blame them if something goes wrong.

> You'd be an idiot not to involve engineers in delivering value.

Yeah this is the mindset of the shareholder, who invest and try to extract as much as he can from a few individuals. I understand.
Waste-to-energy plants are designed to reach those high temperatures, amongst other measures, to minimise and prevent toxic emissions.

They still produce a lot of CO2, though: plastic is still a fossil fuel. From a climate perspective, we’d be better to bury the stuff in the ground than to burn it. And ideally, we’d just produce a lot less plastic in the first place!
A couple of things:

OP is not really a solid source and the article's omissions of directly related matter undermines its credibility.

India is right now chugging Russian oil like there is no tomorrow. But it may end up doing this tomorrow and years to come. India can do this and have its PR arms float the "but Russians helped us in the 70s that's why" as the cover story and ignore the largess from the West during globalization (a good chunk of IT section of US economy went to India) because everyone knows the controlling interest of global investment is shopping around for the 'Next China'. So this is trading Germany (industrial goods [+EU]) for 'next China' (production).

We wait to see whether long or short term [self-]interests will prevail.
Here's my favorite story about scientists judging what's kosher, starring none other than Richard Feynman:

One day, two or three of the young rabbis came to me and said, "We realize that we can't study to be rabbis in the modern world without knowing something about science, so we'd like to ask you some questions."

Of course there are thousands of places to find out about science, and Columbia University was right near there, but I wanted to know what kinds of questions they were interest in.

They said, "Well, for instance, is electricity fire?"

"No," I said, "but... what is the problem?"

They said, "In the Talmud it says that you're not supposed to make fire on a Saturday, so our question is, can we use electrical things on Saturdays?"

I was shocked. They weren't interested in science at all! The only way science was influencing their lives was so they might be able to interpret better the Talmud! They weren’t' interested in the world outside, in natural phenomena; they were only interested in resolving some question brought up in the Talmud.
