You get lots of benefit from permanently-trimmed space that is never used, even if it isn't explicitly "over-provisioned".

The underlying storage always has lots of free space, and thus is likely to have A) lots of pre-erased pages, and thus B) doesn't need to relocate as much stuff often to make contiguous chunks to erase, and thus C) write amplification is much lower.
I assume the main point of asking for charities at the POS system is to, in no order, a) give to that charity, and/or b) to get the tax deduction as if the company gave that charity. Ex: $1 charity = some $0.35 discount on company taxes.

And "awareness" is a big part of some cultures [0] as it allows for the distribution of the idea of caring without devoting some of one's life to the cause.

This against the backdrop of the growing pool of evidence about operation Celeste, the "vaccination" program in the eighties in Africa distributing HIV as a population control measure.

The witnesses from the documentary "Cold Case Hammerskold" recently gave evidence to the UNHRC I believe.
Or why would it have internet facing data ? At some point maybe we can just transfer stuff around ourselves especially the list of all our passwords ?

How do you know? Are you reading them? If so, you're just exposing them to more of the elements that will degrade them. They were never designed to last forever.

And if you're not reading them regularly, then you'll only find out they've gone bad when it's already too late.

There is a reason why transferring backups to new media is done on the regular by professionals. They know that the only way to make sure the copies are good is to ... well, make copies.
I'm Australian, living in Canada for 10 years, just went back to Australia for 18 months, now back in Canada. I have some experience here.

I love not tipping, and for me personally, the service in Australia is perfectly fine. I took my (Canadian) partner to Australia (her first time there). For her, the service was nowhere even remotely close to that of Canada.

In Australia, someone might take your order (or you order yourself at the bar), then your food is brought (or you get it yourself, get your own cutlery), and that is all. Plenty enough for me, but that's utterly bare minimum of what you'd get in Canada. Almost below bare minimum.

In Australia nobody comes to ask how your meal is, nobody comes to top up your water, and nobody will pontificate with you for 10 minutes about the difference in hops between two beers on tap. When my partner asked for that kind of information, most people just shrugged and gave her a sample of both, then said "what do you want?". I found it hilarious.

So while I think the service in Australia is perfectly adequate and I personally like it, my Canadian partner found it lacking immensely from Canadian standards, but she did like the no-tipping.
Opt out ... maybe, until the next website hack.

I recently interviewed and got job offer contingent on verifying work history, etc. After I cleared that, the link for docusign arrived. I called the recruiter and asked about payroll data sharing. She claimed to have never heard of it. A day later she said they don't do that. I explained my concerns, said I won't work for a company that does not respect employee privacy, and to go ask finance and HR. Just over a week later she confirmed they don't do that and she detailed exactly what is shared and when - State new hire DB, payroll taxes, medical plan, and by court order. I thanked her and signed the agreement to work for them.

We only have a choice if we are willing to use it.
The downside to using SD and friends for this is SD supposedly has less write endurance and worse wear leveling than a proper SSD. I have no idea if this is true. The upside to using CF is CF is electrically compatible with IDE, so you don't have a IDE/SATA bridge that can cause compatibility issues and is a point of failure.
It's very interesting observing people use the app in person, as opposed to privately on their phone where you have no idea how they interact with it.

For instance the Stripe Terminal reader is immediately to the right of the iPad POS, but a good number of people don't know where to tap the card. I need to design an arrow on the checkout screen for that because I've seen many people tapping the card to the iPad screen. I think Square got them used to that.

On the subject of political graft and schools, my Florida high school purchased *every single student* a pair of cheap earbuds for a *single* audio question on a standardized test everyone in the school had to take. Probably in 2015 or 2016. Pretty sure some politician was friends with or related to someone who stood to make money off those earbuds...

Wind Turbines Taller Than the Statue of Liberty Are Falling Over
Strongly disagree and we've got receipts too. Even a basic search for selinux-related issues will show you how many people want to disable it compared to how many want to understand it. It's not users either. Developers who should know better and who should distribute the policies that users need in the first place also start their installation instructions with "disable selinux".

It's not even selinux specific - "everyone's a domain admin" is also a meme in security in the enterprise windows world where the permissions are actually a bit easier to manage. One of the main complaints about AWS complexity are IAM policies. There's just no way around it - this is inherently complex and a generic user does not care to learn how to deal with this. When you simplify it (like mobile phones do) on the other hand, there will be lots of people (rightfully) complaining about not being able to use the files between applications - a common complaint about iOS environment.
I'm a consultant for Red Hat. I'm assigned a number of clients at a time, travel onsite (or work remote) to fix or build their systems, and sometimes supervise small teams as part of larger engagements.

Red Hat gives me my assignments for the next few weeks or months, tell me what end result everyone wants to see, and sends me to go get it done. I'm 100% trusted to do the job, no micromanagement. If I need help I'm a phone call away from expert engineers in all of our products. I have a TS clearance, so I'm onsite more often than not because I'm working on disconnected networks.

While I technically have a manager, they're more like a handler or mission control. He hands me my tasks, tells me the lay of the land, and gives me access to anything I need for the job. I'm not really "managed" on a day-to-day basis. Every engagement has it's own project manager that I work with closely but even that is a peer relationship, no supervisory.

I travel constantly but love it. 200+ nights in a hotel every year for the past 5 years. My wife's job is mostly remote, so she joins me on occasion, and I can get her plane tickets with my racked up mileage points.
I can "pay" for our vacations entirely with loyalty points (car, hotel, plane).

One thing I love about Red Hat is everyone pushes each other forward. Co-workers reach down and pull their colleagues up behind them. Never before have I felt such a sense that my colleagues have my back all the way. A very "we're all in this together" attitude throughout the company. Also, while you're always encouraged to move up the promotion ladder if you want, if you've found a niche that you're comfy in then that's supported to. There's no up-or-out like some organizations, and no forced ranking thank Yoba.

tl;dr Red Hat completely trusts me to do my job, and does everything it can to help me succeed. It's awesome.
I've heard that at google (urban legend?) the best way to advance is to start a promising project that catches the eyes of managers as a potential money maker, get a very basic prototype going, and had it off to a team and then move on to your next big "money maker" idea. The people who "maintain" never really get much attention from management
I guess MLS works for the military but object-capability sandboxing is a better fit for most other cases. Of course legacy compatibility is slowing adoption of security in general.
In states like Washington and I believe California, they get minimum wage at least before tips.
I try to almost always tip in cash which means I mark 0% tip, and I never give star reviews. One exception for a review is the smiley face vs sad face at airport restrooms. I've never marked sad face yet but if there was an issue I would gladly and that will simply let staff know there is something amiss in that spot.
Is it stored on a device which connects to the Internet? It's online!

I think there's a role to play for things like KeePass when you need to share some secret values with family or team members, but it shouldn't be for high security things.

Two-factor authentication is probably our best practical defense right now, and generally the best way to do that is not to have your password saved anywhere: Two-factor is "something you know and something you have". If your passwords are stored somewhere, it's just two things you have.

If, like some Bitwarden users, you backup your 2FA tokens in your password manager, 2FA is just one thing you have. An using a password poor enough for you to remember and a two-factor token is better than just two separate apps on your phone.
You underestimate dishonesty in the population: having your pay exposed may force your company to reduce it to the lowest common denominator to avoid all the cries by people who simply shouldnt be paid like you (age, experience, output, knowledge criticality, all these things people dont wanna hear)
The UPI system is great, unless you are a tourist, who doesn't have access to it. On a recent trip to India we came across many weird payment rules that made our trip much harder than it should have been, it felt like going back to the early 2000s where you had to pay cash for everything if you travel abroad.

Although Visa is everywhere, most places do not accept foreign cards. We stopped in a rest stop on a highway and they had a large food court with a mixture of Indian and Western brands - had to pay cash for all of it, as my card was always rejected by their bank.

One time I had to pay for my accomodation by cash, as their bank would not allow them to accept foreign cards or foreign bank transfers. I had pay 70,000rs (around $850) which meant going to a cash machine and taking out repeated transactions of 10,000rs (the ATMs also have limits for foreign cards). If you aren't familiar with Indian cash, that's a big stack, around 160 notes. It felt like I was doing something illegal :D

If you try to buy something online, almost everything expects you to use UPI. If they do accept cards, then they almost always have the same rule about foreign cards. For example we wanted to buy bus tickets from Red Bus, but couldn't. The only places we found that consistently worked was Swiggy and Uber.
Agreed. These customer satisfaction surveys where anything less than 5 stars or 10/10 is a fail is just as dystopian as tipping culture.
I'd say that Czech creators are uniquely creative in their absurdist flavors.
> that didn't allow them to get a bank account

This sounds like the real problem to solve. It's unacceptable for people to be unable to get a bank account and whatever cards to pay cashless

Or rather than further entrenching the idea, we could work towards effective privacy legislation and relegate all of these commercial surveillance databases to the dustbin of history.
I think it's also that Mittens has a bias towards very aggressive rather than strictly optimal play?
> Is it really a major burden to accept cash?

It means somebody has to go to the bank each day to drop off the cash and collect change.

So it's inconvenient, and an unnecessary security risk to whichever staff member is required to do that.

Compared to not accepting cash and not having to deal with any of that, then yes it's a major burden.
Time will only tell but search is definitely Google's bread and butter core and they will do anything to prevent any real competitor that might capture significant market share from them.
Google Is Once Again Accused of Age Discrimination (2019)
We were unable to update the Pixel 6 devices to r38p1 due to more changes being required beyond the kernel driver update. The security patches were shipped regardless, and that also happened upstream for AOSP and the stock Pixel OS for the January update.

All of the security fixes first shipped with QPR2 Beta 1 on December 12 which we shipped on December 14th were then shipped in the AOSP / stock Pixel OS January stable release despite it still using r36p0.

The security patches are available without updating the major release, at least if you're either an ARM partner or an ARM partner has published an update with the patches and therefore released them. In our case, we can't get the standalone security patches directly from ARM but we can ship the kernel backports as soon as they're in an Android quarterly or major release beta. We can't necessarily ship the major releases of the driver just because they're in a quarterly or major release since they can depend on other changes which is what happened with the Pixel 6. It crashes without updating the userspace driver, not just the kernel driver, and updating the userspace driver seems to require other changes. It's not blocking any security patches though.
I prefer paying cash. It is also elitist to not accept cash because it means I need a credit card or an expensive phone, neither of which I have on me while jogging.

I also don't jog, but you get the point. At my gym I had a keychain bar code that worked great. Now I need my phone, phone charged, brightness up, their stupid app, signed in, open it up, click check-in. It turned a 2 second 1 gram device in to this whole thing. Why?? What a waste of technology and time.
You want to tip without Amazon finding out.

Aka, cash, or venmo
> I'm guessing that was state sponsored as a finger to the west

I've heard this only from people with no experience dealing with the Chinese chemical industry.

I don't think people fully realise how hands off the state typically was in the last couple of decades - you could get Chinese contract labs or chemical suppliers to make and ship you almost anything, and they would even mislabel it to get it through customs.

There were dozens of labs that were churning out batches of whatever the latest "research chemical" "not for human consumption" was, for the western consumer market.

No state sponsor needed - the business was extremely lucrative for all involved, and the materials absolutely dirt cheap to produce.

There was a solid 10 or so years where simply picking out a new analogue and having it manufactured to order was a de-facto licence to print money due to how long it took for a novel substance to be banned.
You're making assumptions about what anyone receiving money should do. No no no.
Popular movie quotes or lines from books with minor iterations are bad choices. They are somewhere out there and not as safe as one might think. Completely random choice of words is good, but it is not feasible to remember random passphrases for all of your accounts.

Other common methods include appending a particular character to each word or alternate words...creating a pattern of sort, but this again makes it difficult to remember, which was the reason why we preferred passphrases instead of passwords in first place.
I propose a middle way: Outlaw tipping unless the establishment posts an upfront notice of what their tipping expectation is (what percent, for what services, for what satisfaction level).

Under that system:

- You can still have tipping with only a trivial amount of extra work.

- There would then be common knowledge -- in the technical sense [1] -- across all parties, leading to expectation alignment.

- There would be a clear mechanism for competition over expected tipping levels, letting people know they're getting into at each place.

I expect that such a system would to more establishments preferring the no-tip option, but even if not, it would remove the worst parts of the tipping system.

[1] i.e. where everyone knows the same things, and everyone knows everyone's else's level of knowledge about those things https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_knowledge_(logic)
I think this can be debated, but I am not as pessimist. In any case, the whole dynamic is hard to predict.

The whole society would change, including many roles and structures.
My biggest hits of satisfaction seem to come when I learn something and when I finish something. In between is exploration.

The biggest drags seem to be repeating work I’ve done before, and being told not to make something as good as I think it should be.

So, exploring, discovering new things, and using what I’ve learned to do something excellently. Which can be hard sometimes. There isn’t always something new that needs doing!

I suspect they also don’t really want to know how strong and obnoxious the smell is to the rest of us.
The expectation from the tipper is that the tips are unrelated to the wages.

You could tip 10k, and they'd still be paid at least minimum wage by the employer
Reading, writing, arithmetic... not always science though right? I bet a good chunk of parents don't want evolution taught in schools. A smaller but significant chunk probably don't want climate change taught in environmental science either.
OK but it is an issue. How about solve that decades old problem before turning people away and insisting that whatever payment processor take some 2-5% of your purchase. It's a complete digression of technology.
Yes, 2FA/MFA only serves as access control, to limit who can retrieve a copy of your encrypted vault from the server (to then decrypt locally).

Like in the Lastpass scenario, if someone gets a hold of your vault from a server side backup (or compromise), then your access control is bypassed, and won't make your vault harder to decrypt.

Using MFA is definitely good practice though, as in normal circumstances an attacker will be trying to get to your vault without server side access.
I saw one of those “mind blown!” sorts of posts on Facebook the other day that I haven’t been able to really reconcile in my head because it both makes sense and doesn’t make sense.

The gist was that if everybody is paying with credit cards, $50 will eventually whittle down to $0 because AmEx, et. Al. got $50 worth of fees after so many transactions (accountant pays grocer who pays dentist who pays hygienist who pays daycare, etc.). On one hand, what a huge waste of money. On the other hand, I as the consumer typically don’t get a discount for paying with cash, so why shouldn’t I take advantage of the “free” and secure payment option available to me?
That's a bad rationale. Mediocre performers, are, by definition, average. Unless your hiring process has completely changed, you're not likely to get anyone better if you toss out a mediocre performer and hire someone new: the new person could be better, or could be worse. Moreover, the mediocre person is experienced and productive; the replacement will not be, and probably won't be for a long time. (If the mediocre performer isn't productive, then they're not mediocre unless most of your employees are terrible, and should be fired for bad performance.)

Is this only through a web portal that is tied directly to your bank account? Do you have a link?

Such a card, if it exist, would quickly be the most popular card on all churning and credit card reward forums.

Also if it exist but requires a bank account or Amex credit card to purchase, it goes back again to being pointless for the people who can't get banking services and rely on cash.
Unable to take off my lawyer hat, I assumed it was because of the risk of lawsuits from customers who accidentally burned themselves or started fires.
I live alone, in my 40s. I work for a tech company.

I wake up around 6:30 am, twitter, some reading, there is always something to do around the house. Coffee and podcast or South-American radios on Radio Garden (great app) for 30 minutes.

Work starts at 9 am. Multiple coffees.
Three times a week, I go to the gym at 11:30 am until 1 pm. Or I go for a run.
I stop working around 3:30 pm. At 5 or 6 pm, I either go to bjj or the gym (if I did not go earlier) or to kickboxing.
When I don't go out at night, dinner is between 8 and 9 pm. After that, I either write, watch a movie/tv show, or I read. Good night.
It's important to note that Larry and Sergey control over 50% of voting shares. Whatever share this investor owns, it's a minority share of votes.
I do! I'm a server software engineer at a video game company. Here are some highlights:

- I get to work on a game that I enjoy playing. I've worked on some games that I didn't care for (or I was not the target audience), and it's still fun work, but when you genuinely like the game, and play it in your free time, ah! It's such a joy.

- At my current company, I'm working with some of the most skilled people I've ever met. To be surrounded by awesome people is inspiring. Just by being themselves, they push me to be a better engineer, because I want to be able to stand alongside them and call them colleagues.

- I'm paid well! I'm certainly not in the FAANG salary range, but to be honest, I'm making more than nearly everyone I know outside of work. I count myself extraordinarily lucky, my salary is certainly outside the norm for my age group.

- In terms of the work itself: I enjoy problem solving and helping people out. I get to do a little bit of both every day. Those are the day-to-day fulfillments that I really appreciate.

The model itself would probably be considered a transformative work, and Microsoft likely has a broad license to do whatever they want with code hosted on GitHub.

However, there is a reason the CoPilot instructions say that users shouldn't trust the results.

We will learn from the trial whether or not it is possible to wash away copyright by sending it through an opaque, lossy, compression algorithm. If it turns out that people are free to use a model trained on _any_ source code it finds regardless of license?
