If you are overweight or have belly fat then it may be that your esophageal sphincter is fine and its your sleeping position that is causing the issue. Sleeping on your stomach causes belly fat to push into the area of your sphincter and opens it up slightly, now acids can flow past this point. The rise of esophageal cancer in the 90's up to now corresponds with the rise of obesity. I was actually allergic to NSAIDs which were causing gastritis but this mechanical component of sleeping on stomach (and being fatter at the time) was one of the issues that made it worse. After losing some weight it went away and after figuring out NSAIDs were causing the initial problem, I've been reflux free for four years now. Spent twenty years battling this problem and thought most of it was due to hereditary reason because my father had the same issues and died from esophageal cancer.

You of course don't know that, not having access to compartmentalized top secret material.

If you did, you couldn't post here (or anywhere) about it.
I trust PayPal as the default payment method, I do not want to provide my cc details to any random store that may have questionable security. I never had a single issue with PayPal.

If you could somehow convert mass into a beam of photons then the mass loss would be tiny compared to the momentum.
That’s survivorship bias. My ancestors wanted a good life for themselves, and many of them suffered different despots and sultans. They would go to war to defend their country, but not when the enemy is the ruler himself.

My ancestors were wrongly conditioned to think life has to be rough, that one must suffer through. A great deal of those who opposed rulers profiting from this, were eliminated.

The way I see it - it's a really nice way to make reusable modules out of your Docker files (e.g. we need to install a tool and we need to run apt-get + some config, etc). And a simpler, JSON syntax to apply those modules on top of a base image.

I love the experience so far, we've done a few features (modules) - e.g. this one to install `nvtop` to see GPU utilization [0]

The whole CUDA + nvtop + (some other tools) setup for a project to be run on a remote machine (e.g. via VS Code) becomes like this [1]

And that's enough to run ML training on GH Codespaces with GPU support. Super cool experience.

> At this time, the market is too small, and Apple can't possibly make their desired margins on them and compete with the others on the market.

Disagree.

There are over 2 billion Apple devices deployed and tens of millions more get sold quarter, so market size isn't an issue.

There's no reason to believe Apple wouldn't be able to get their average margin of around 35% on a security device if they wanted to.

And what competition? The Apple branded security key would be the only one available via the online store that can be bundled with any Mac, iPad or iPhone purchase. And certainly the only one designed specifically for the Apple ecosystem.

It's just a matter of whether or not Apple can add features above and beyond what's typically available.

An easy one would be Find My integration like the AirPods Pro 2 case or the AirTag. Using Find My, the owner could periodically check (or Apple could automate it) that security key is where it's supposed to be, like a relative's house or bank deposit box.

Adding a U1 chip would allow the security key to be found if it were misplaced in a user's home… or in the event of a natural disaster like an earthquake.

And of course they could add TouchID to it, acting as a second factor so only the intended user could use it.

I'm sure I'm just scratching the surface of all the features Apple is uniquely positioned to add to a security key.
allowing this would open the possibility of thefts forcing the victims to respond in a specific way thus opening a possibility of violence along with theft.

so no to that. the solution to work as deterrent should be final: stolen device = brick device, no other possibility.

in the case of solving theft of devices we have to choose the price we want to pay. all solutions are based on various ways to deter the theft. there is no solution to stop the action of theft once started. thus all solutions have a price that could range from false positives (like legit owners being locked out) to waste like theft happens because they dont know that they cannot unlock it without destroying the device.
I use wine to run the MSVC compiler in a Linux container, making it easier to manage in comparison to the windows containers, which require a Windows/Hyper-V capable host.

Bonus, the wine+msvc combination is still smaller than using a windows container.

Works fine, also for MSI file generation with Wix:

At this point, it's up to the user to make that trade-off, but most of the players don't have enough information to make that decision.

Sure, I wouldn't want any cheaters on my games, but these systems are not fool-proof and cannot circumvent every single cheater out there.

Dedicated enough cheaters are getting what they want anyway, while the unknowing user is left with a backdoor on their systems (in the event of a compromise)
At the end of the day it's complex mathematical algorithms making predictions about the next word in a sequence of words, based on all the sequences of words it's learned from (snapshot of the web). It turns out that given a sufficient amount of properly labeled data the algorithms can build a model that makes good predictions, thus we finally have a useful chat bot.

While the user experience feels magical, it's helpful to understand what is actually under the hood to put it into perspective.
Whats your solution though? Strike? People will still apply and work there because it's bad, but not slave labour. Unionize? They'll entirely stop hiring people without experience and change their business model.

Their business model was to be the cheapest. Cheapest employees, cheapest parts. They filled the market share for people looking for cheap cheap parts. That involves crappy service.

If they raised their employee pay, the entire business model goes belly up. That means, no more cheap cheap parts for customers and no entry job positions for employees looking to break the field.

It was a delicate balance of ""exploitation"" and keeping them happy enough they are willing to stay.

If you have nothing to offer the company besides a pulse, you don't get to pick and choose. Why would that be fair to force a company to pay more for no reason? Sometimes you put up with bullshit for a couple years and then you get to be more picky.
How reliable is the information that it returns?
> they're not going to be satisfied because they're trusting their own, and not yours.

This cuts in both directions. Unlike signing certificates, attestation is not a zero-sum fight over a single monolithic measurement attribute that can only be A or B, it can support a goal of having A and B, e.g. as disaggregated VMs. If a cloud wants subset B, then the user/owner/enterprise local attestation can insist that the client must also have subset A, otherwise it can reject subset-B-without-A. Also applies to multiple clouds with conflicting requirements.

Enterprise clients connected to centralized clouds are not the same as consumption-oriented DRM, where the decision is grant/deny. Enterprise client devices generate business data that is sent to the cloud, and they consume data/compute/apps from the cloud. If businesses stop sending data to the cloud, the hybrid workflow breaks down. It's not as one-sided as Netflix DRM.

> We already had "owner control" until they started trying to take that away from us.

With the exception of IBM POWER / Talos servers that have open firmware including the BMC, most servers depend on many blobs, so there has been little transparency for owners, never mind control. One has to start somewhere, and Caliptra starts at the beginning, with an open silicon+firmware RoT that can potentially evaluate some of the myriad blobs and processors and devices needed to bring a server online.

E.g. DMTF SPDM can be used for local PCI (or virtualized I/O like NVMe-over-TCP) device attestation of firmware integrity to the server, before the device is authorized for use in the server, https://www.dmtf.org/standards/SPDM & https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2019/speaker/plank
This course of action was only taken after consultations with trained professionals had already failed and as I mentioned, the effect of the omitted supplements paled in comparison with the probiotics. Also this is a thread about gut bacteria so I thought I’d initially only mention the most relevant part of the treatment and follow-up if there was more interest.

It’s pretty clear that this (like 99% of internet advice) is all anecdotal evidence and again, I’ve made it clear it may not work for everyone. I’ve also mentioned elsewhere that I’m not a healthcare professional. But if my comment is able to help even one person escape the nightmare of not being able to hold food down and the sleep deprivation and depression that comes with severe GERD… then that’s worth one snarky linux systems guy yelling at me on HN.

agree with [1], been there.

But projects that have a bus-factor ~1 are often some of the tightest, best ones.

So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, don't worry so much. Hopefully the owner leaves some keys and contingency plans, but otherwise, carry on as normal. The GPL and other open source licenses are good enough backup insurance if they didn't.
Also applies to, say, 2019 Macs you bought with cash at the Apple Store, set a firmware password at setup, then never needed so forgot until the Ventura update failed and now you need to install fresh.

Nope, not yours.

I like some of this, but "enumerating badness is a bad idea" is just wrong. Quantifying errors is an important part of tracking progress in software work.

Its the same as any other project in life: you track mistakes and address them.
in 01997 it was acceptable to them and that's why most of them did move to java, once hotspot came out if not earlier

c++ projects today are very different from c++ projects in the 01990s when basically all 'serious' software was either c++ or c

a lot of c++ projects in the 01990s were what we think of now as java projects or c# projects (or django projects): line-of-business systems full of boilerplate and shitty architecture, not streamlined mega-optimized aaa game engines or web browsers

c++ projects today are the niche that was left over, which is, yeah, basically the cases where you can't afford gc

the appeal of wirth languages is that you get 90% of the value of a monstrosity like pl/i or c++ for about 5% of the complexity

language complexity hurts you three times: when you are learning the language, when you are choosing a compiler, and when you are debugging your code

so actually sometimes you get 200% of the value of a monstrosity like pl/i or c++

hopefully at some point someone will develop a wirthified version of rust, but i don't think wirth will do it this time
Our CTO starts every meeting with a “reminder that working remotely is a privilege and can change at a minute” but everything I find in the HR trade press seems to indicate we are well past privilege. The rhetorical question is why are we still paying for a sixty story sky rise that is occupied by a dozen people on any day. I do know the answer to that question but still - I have no intention of going back. If remote work was revoked tomorrow I might go in for a couple weeks while I interview but that’s going to be it.
Haha, didn't think of spinning it like that. "Track (criminal) record of delivering results in a high pressure environment."
I expect insurance companies would love to buy that kind of data. They could raise the rates of customers based on the contents of their fridge. Drink too much? Buy food that's too unhealthy? Expect to see your bills go up.

I've read they already do things like charge people more based on aggregated data like their zip code or an areas rate of fast food consumption (Perversely, health and life insurance companies also invest billions of dollars in stocks for fast food companies), but also based on individual data like social media posts, how much money a person makes, or how much TV a person watches. Whatever it takes to justify taking more out of your pocket.
I honestly laughed out loud.

In Australia we’ve got it good - businesses can only pass on the fee that they’re charged by the payment processor.
The future is probably a two tiered system like what Apple is showing with Lockdown Mode. Normal users get the full speed fully functional system. And those who are at risk of being targeted use a locked down system with less convenience features but more security.

Along with better languages and tooling ruling out entire classes of exploits.
Is there any mechanism for it to validate that the thing connected to the display output is an unmodified monitor which also implements DRM? Otherwise it would be almost trivial to have a device with HDMI-in that gets a pixel perfect feed of the protected stream.
No. People would have stolen them.

This is the strongest action by the US yet. With M1 Abrams and Leopard 2s Ukraine will have two of the most advanced tanks in the world at their disposal. Russia really doesn’t have anything that can match in any real quantity. How both tanks hold up in this type of engagement we will see.

I do worry a bit about what a cornered Putin is capable of. There is no winning this war for him and Russia.
It’s not that weird. Lithium (ion) batteries can catch on fire if submerged in water. Can juice do it is a legitimate question.

That seems like it would require tensor calculus.
The assumption that price paid == utility is only valid in the economic equivalent of "assume no friction" from intro-level physics. The equivalence isn't guaranteed to hold once you bring individuals' budget sets and various market distortions into play (information problems, sticky prices, et alia). You see the same thing on the supply side, with the assumption that price sold == marginal cost breaking down in general, except under very specific conditions.
Nice! That's a good one!
Those usages don't seem so different to me. They both refer to isolated partitions. No?

If you buy a PUT option on a stock, at a low strike (far OTM) as the stock is tanking your PUT becomes more valuable and you can sell that.

If the stock is near zero and you have a contract to sell at $5 - that's profit.

My usual first steps are to read the title, the abstract, and the figures/tables, in that order. Pause there and mentally summarize what I just read. If there are terms I didn't know or I'm not familiar with the topic, then I go through the introduction parts of the paper. After that I read the discussion sections and conclusions. I usually skip the methods sections and read those last only if needed.

All during that I try to keep track of questions I have or claims the authors are making. Once I've gone through a lot of the paper, I go back and look for answers to my questions. Interrogate the paper until you are convinced.

I remember being younger and getting stressed about reading papers. So I want to add that not all paper are well written. Don't worry if you're struggling. It's not easy in the beginning and the papers themselves aren't perfect. Keep working at it because it does get easier!

Completely disagree on the « attention to details » and « sense of aesthetics » things. I find LaTeX resumes ugly as hell. Honestly LaTeX resumes give me the vibe of a candidate who will lack pragmatism, has 0 sense of style, and probably can’t communicate well. Of course I don’t hold it against a candidate, it’s a subjective opinion, but this is the vibe I get.
When the primary channel for real estate messaging was physical newspaper having a relationship/ownership made total sense. Now, there is almost no nexus between the information, except for ludicrous amounts of 'house of the week' embedded content in a 'lifestyle' section of the news web, which I suspect does not raise revenue for a newsman. If he sold it, he can charge the suckers rent for the same gig!

And thats the thing: Rupert is a newsman first and foremost. Sure, he moved into entertainment, and he's had all these side gigs like co-owning the editorial outsource company behind 'lets sack all our staff' but in the end, he has hot lead monotype in his veins, not blood. And lead is thicker than blood.

He must need the money more than the future increase in value, or believe the coming doom of declining house value translates to lower revenue in house sale web services, than he likes.

Would you honestly say it's worth $3b? I suspect a lot of that is outgoings on production side costs and running the engine, and feeding the super HDR photoshopped beast which is a modern 'walk through' photomontage. I don't know its worth that much.

Remember when "yellow pages" was big? How come those investors aren't owning Google? Or Yahoo? Did they miss read the market and got saddled with a lemon (sorry) product?

What if Rupert was a very smart, very evil, very venal man and he's read the room? What if real estate is going to a bad place for the related services market?

Oh yea: his shareholder cohort HATED his proposal to re-fuse Fox and News. So, it may well be he had a cunning plan to liberate .. lets say $3b of value somehow in that mashup and now finds he wants the money, but needs another mechanism to achieve it. (he walked back the proposal)
Yes, that's what I said. They don't do it for planned obsolescence reasons or arbitrarily at N years old. They do it when specs require it.
> Objecting to user education is an idea that is coming back into vogue, especially with authentication and phishing. It's the idea that has held up best here.

The notion that users can't really be educated has led to a lot of questionable security practices that prioritize ease of use over real security. For example, 2FA using codes sent by email or SMS as the second factor rather than relying on key based authentication like client side TLS certificates issued by the service that the client is using.

This, to some extent, has actually decreased security by allowing people to bypass authentication by compromising the second factor through use of social engineering.

PPF Shift for Startups
There is this concept of production possibility frontier (PPF) in Economics. It is often visualized as a curve that represents the optimal allocation of resources between producing two different products - see PPF1 curve on the diagram above. Point A is one such possible optimal allocation achieved by, say, Company A. However, you will realize that this curve is not always a perfect representation of reality. In fact, most companies do not operate on the optimal curve (point B), and there are often ways to increase efficiency through various ideas and techniques.
