Hello all. Is there a ‘Who’s hiring’ for strictly Cybersecurity/InfoSec?
Whether there is a law or not doesn't matter.

> Every American should understand that the police are not your friends.

But they should also understand that policy are rarely the enemy, either, and treating them as such will result in a worse outcome on average. Don't let the evening news distort reality so much.

Also, in the interest of sharing anecdotal get off my lawn moments, all the kids in my neighborhood walk to school too, in 2023. All weather, all the time, safely, nobody calls the cops, nobody gets grabbed, it's fine. The world is in fact objectively safer than it was when I was growing up in the 80s. There's a good reason I don't routinely watch the news or read partisan political media.
Imagine if the streets were safe and we didn't need to keep funding so many insanely powerful police! Yikes!

I believe I read that when mixing for vinyl they presume higher grade speakers than those of CD owners so they optimise for the assumed audio setup of the format buyers.

Which is a shame for me since I have a entry-level-audiophile setup and just stream and have little desire in getting into vinyl.
> But I can’t use it, because that would mean letting some random company get access to all my emails.

That's because they do it to get access to your e-mails, not to give you AI powered email autocomplete.
I don't want to assume it's you at all. Vitamin B is a real thing and there are shitty managers out there but was there anything else going on?

Are you overly sexist? Bitchy? Difficult?

If not use your time to find something better! You probably can't win this game.

One thing you could try: ask everyone on your team in private what you could do to be better.

Perhaps this might shine up something.
Its like that classic tweet that went something like American's seeing something happen that's uniquely American: "What are we, a bunch of Asians??"

It's amazing how effective propaganda can be.
Also, most of what they do is under threat of authority, not actual authority. For the most part, they need a court order to enter your home, question your children without your permission, etc. Hopefully if more people realize they have the right to say no, then the worker will be a little more reasonable. Right now they know that everyone they meet bends to their threats and nobody challenges them, so they are emboldened.
> it's not a manipulative tactic, it's actual product improvement.

Such things can be, and often are, both.

I think the benefits are multiplicative here.

As another experienced Anki user, I have found I get much more leverage out of spaced repetition (both in terms of efficiency of memorization, as well as in how useful the information is) when I've first made the knowledge my own and structured it in a way that makes sense to me before creating the cards, rather than just dumping a bunch of pure entropy into the Anki database.

That's not really note-taking per se, but it is ensuring that the stuff I'm trying to memorize isn't pure entropy (which is always more of a challenge to memorize in any event), but rather is part of a larger sense-making structure. The purpose of spaced repetition is to help prevent that structure from decaying; it's not a substitute for having it in the first place.
I can see both sides. Anyone with a basic understanding of History should know that police abuses of power are nothing new. Bad cops have always existed and are well documented. Just think of some cops beating up hippies and beats in the proposed golden age of neighborhood policing.

On the flip side, there's been a definite trend in the militarization of the police forces and other public facing groups. The first big wave of this I personally saw came from Iraq and Afghanistan veterans joining the public service. Is not unreasonable to think that individuals with a background occupying a country with a hostile population transferred norms from that into their new job.
The issue is not whether they're intrinsically orthogonal or principle
components, but that men make them so.

Maybe "thats right-wing rhetoric" has been the method of suppressing what we found uncomfortable.
Honestly, I would believe some of them already do it. You're reading the news from a Swedish company anyway so we use to be pretty vigilant on privacy issues.

Sweden is a small player compared to Germany and France, so I am uncertain how much weight our words have.
I thought the dialog was amazing? It's generating conversations and a script for a TV show, are you expecting it to be as good as the original? It's crazy that they can carry out a conversation from start to end about a specific topic.
They did not endanger their kids, the illegally dared to argue with the police. That level of arrogance is not tolerated by our betters in the elevated class of police officers. If they had simply apologized, thanked the officers and perhaps knelt before them there would have been no problem. /S

This is what happens when you create an insane concept like qualified immunity and give it to people that have absolute power. Society treats cops like they are a special privileged class so they act like it and treat everyone else like serfs.

I let my 11 year old ride his bike to 7-11 the other day for the first time. I can't imagine how I would react if the gestapo showed up telling me I was a bad parent and endangering my child. I would absolutely sue if they arrested me for it, especially after threatening my wife as in the article and then dropping charges.

The making of EU legislation can take years and is surprisingly transparent; in particular, the public is asked for input at several stages. So I am surprised that the article does not provide any link to an actual proposal - without it, how am I going to believe its claims?
If you add up all of the jurisdictional taxes, 50% is typical for high earners. For instance I pay 38% fed and 10% state here in Oregon.

Sketchy dudes will talk about various schemes to lower taxes but call it what it is: unethical tax avoidance. The real issue we should be talking about in the US is how poorly we use that tax income. Our built environment is absolutely dreadful because of our car dependency and we have little to no social benefits despite having massive tax income because our health care system is parasitic.

Related to tracking radars, conical scan and monopulse tracking has got to rank among the best brilliantly simple ideas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopulse_radar

A monopulse tracking radar can track a target within hundredths of a degree, with no more than a handful of components. You can build a monopulse sonar with two opamps.
I can't find the post I saw from the creator, but apparently this is something they have been working on for years, well before ChatGPT. They created their own script generator.
> Most GameCube games used their own 8-bit ADPCM format

Minor quibble but, at least for music, most GC games used a native 4-bit ADPCM ("DSP", decoded by the DSP, or the ADP/DTK format, like CD-XA ADPCM and also handled in hardware), and the most common cross-console audio middleware (CRI) also generally used 4-bit ADX ADPCM. In this old list, everything marked ADP, ADX, DSP is using 4-bit (and others are usually just different containers for DSP): http://web.archive.org/web/20080420105759/https://hcs64.com/...

PS1 and PS2 were similar. I've usually only encountered 8-bit DPCM on PC, though the 3DO had a version in hardware.

The old table-driven style of ADPCM might be the poor quality the author has in mind, all of these consoles get much better quality at 4 bits, using the same kind of linear predictor (usually with 2 samples of history) with scales per frame as QOA.

Edit: I hadn't read carefully enough, QOA is doing something more complicated by updating the weights rather than using a fixed set of filters chosen per frame (ADX has only one per sample rate, GC DSP uses 8, XA/PS uses 4 or 5). That seems a little overcomplicated, but maybe needed at 3 bits per sample?

We do, sometimes. Instead of getting the presidential medal of freedom like they deserve they are forced to suffer.

The system is broken from the top, can only be fixed from the top and those on top are pretty content with the status quo.

Setting up the DHS after 9/11 was dumb but setting up a new department answerable only to the president to police the police would fix the problem.
The major component missing here is why the US washes eggs, which is that they don't vaccinate against salmonella. The places you're observing that store eggs outside a fridge probably all have some kind of poultry vaccination program, for example, the red lion on UK eggs: https://www.egginfo.co.uk/british-lion-eggs
That is just fundamentally not true.

Disneyland in particular has had a steady, growing problem over the past 15-20 years, accelerated recently with the rise of photo-sharing-sites like Instagram, where they are fighting a balance between keeping the parks accessible and affordable, while also trying to limit overall attendance.

A family who books a vacation for a couple of days at Disneyland will struggle to see and experience everything that they want, for the simple reason that there are 50,000+ people (on quiet days!) all trying to do the same things. This isn't manufactured or made up. It is a real inconvenience, and one that existed before smartphones and mass data tracking. The real solution is in eliminating the annual pass program (and raising the ire of the millions of Southern California locals who go to the park on the regular) but that's for another conversation.

"A few minutes shaved" is absolutely a tangible benefit, 100%, especially for a family who has paid thousands of dollars to travel, stay, and visit the park. "the app was a necessity, a non-negotiable" - that "non-negotiable" is because compared to the experience even four years ago, pre-app, your day does allow for more experiences, and I suspect you felt that while breezing through the Space Mountain line.

Look, I do not work for Disney. Disney does not need me to "shill" for them. But "personal data autonomy" is not enough of a real, tangible benefit to the average person, especially compared to the real conveniences of even the slightest opt-in. It does not take a massive data surveillance program to know that our family are Star Wars fans. We literally do not care if the app is more likely to recommend we go on Star Tours more often. We do care that we're able to go on Star Tours without an hourlong wait.
I currently have an old windows tablet on the wall, with fullscreen browser running and connected to a charger 24/7 - the power drain amounts to less than 10EUR a year. I'm looking into turning off the screen based on motion sensors, but... the payout just isn't as much as it seems at first.
The plaintiff (the people suing YouTube/Google) address this issue on pages 42-47 [1]

Their argument is that if you are asking the server for information stored on the server, you are using an interactive computer service which is covered by Section 230. When that remote computer is giving you stuff you didn't ask for, it's not a server and not an interactive computer service as defined by the law. Reddit and HN give 3rd party content a score based on 3rd party actions (upvotes, moderation). When you visit HN or Reddit, you click on links and your computer requests the 3rd party content that meets a minimum score value and is order according to that scoring system, and thus HN/Reddit are providing an interactive computer system as defined by the law.

The plaintiff is clearly painting the Supreme Court a path that it can take so that they win the case while also not destroying the internet. Reddit, Wikipedia, and many others are filing these sky-is-falling briefs with the court to remind them of the danger of not taking that path (if they choose to let the plaintiff win).

That's because backgammon is a reasonably well-balanced game.

There's exactly zero guarantee that our society or life in general is similarly well-balanced.

It seems to be a lot more like "Candy Land" or "Chutes and Ladders" for many people.
This particular incident has been recycled often enough that it actually makes me feel a little better about policing when I read it again. I keep wondering 'oh shit, is this becoming a thing now?' and then I see 'no, it's the same one as last time.'
Well, isn't this already part of pushing back?
If a tutor tried to teach how to count letters instead of a useful skill I'd fire them.

Natural language is ambiguous and ChatGPT can handle that pretty well, if you want to count letters use Python or something.
their intent is to exploit that data not "protect" it whatever that means
For an atheist, moral absolutes are absurd (though still widely held). There are no more an absolute case for saying it's evil for a human child to play before a mouse before killing it, than it is for a kitten to do the same.

Rather, one could argue, morality is a set of emotions, norms, beliefs and rules we have gained through culture and evolution in response to certain behavior patterns. And these can be seen as having a game-theoretical foundation. The rules that assigns the label Evil to someone tends to select people that we (or our ingroup) are in an existential conflict with, at a level where it's either us or them.

For instance, we can have rules that define some patterns of behavior as Evil, and have different set of moral rules for treating people depending on whether they are classified as Evil or not.
Somewhat different in emphasis. Less about a vague "duty of care" and more about detailed, specific spying mandates. Different enforcement structure. Maybe slightly less chaotic in its impact. Still a giant shitshow.
Maybe you didn't want to write it, but only wanted to earn the karma? But of course you didn't choose to want to earn the karma either.
> They believed that the fortunate have a moral obligation to rule the unlucky.

Hardly. It's just that they can, and it feels good to rule over others, so why shouldn't they? You aren't really a "bad pagan" if you decide to do otherwise. You're just possibly a foolish one. The only "pagan sin" is hubris, thinking that you're more powerful than you are and gaping over too much.

I agree that there's a tendency to recreate all that stuff.
Plus, if you just arrest innocent people, you're way less likely to get shot.
The point of "police are not your friends", is you can't know which cop has a chip on their shoulder until its too late and you're three teeth short of a smile. The nature of policing and the logic behind "ACAB" is that because police don't keep their peers in line, you cannot trust any cop.

"One bad apple" has been corrupted just like "Pick yourself up by your bootstraps". The former cuts off "spoils the bunch", the latter being a satire for something obviously impossible.
To be fair, when I send my 4 year old to the closest shop, my concerns have absolutely nothing to do with the safety of the environment (e.g. actions of others), and everything with how much I trust him not to be an idiot.

If we had a shop only two streets over it would be doable at that age.
> That is no argument against investing into technologies that can replace those uses.

It never was. It's a suggestion that near-term abatability e.g. 27 years is untenable. Policy and projection qua climate can't hinge on the promise of hypotheticals. It's possible to leverage nuclear more for an accelerated timeline, but the greens keep trying to block progress. Can't have your cake and eat it too is the way I see it.
I’d prioritize finding someone else in the company that can give you another viewpoint on the situation. These types of situations make us feel isolated, so see if you can find a way to be “seen”, even if it’s by someone who has no way to help you professionally.

The get the heck out of there and find somewhere that is willing to treat you with more respect.
Not claiming it's not true, but according to the article, the author is "president of Let Grow, a nonprofit promoting childhood independence and resilience, and founder of the Free-Range Kids movement".

So could the story have been embellished or made up to push a narrative and stir upset and outrage to get exposure? There doesn't seem to be any authoritative third-party evidence (public records) supporting this story.

In Southern California in the late 80s / early 90s I had a few friends that were regularly sent to the corner store for cigarettes. They had to bring a note, but otherwise the store seemed to think this was normal.

Trying to effect change on this is trying to engage in self-preservation, though. What's the alternative? To just lie down and die?

"competition is for losers" is really honest and true. Nothing hypocritical about it.
The opposite theory is that getting _some_ exposure to the information, even if you can't actively recall it, is still valuable. When you encounter that information in the wild, your brain then has an existing pathway to strengthen.
> We probably all know that they will show reasons [...], whereas the real motivation is to control people's freedom of speech and communication even though they will 100% deny it.

I don't think this is how it works, absent an already existent police state.

In democracies, it really is pushed for {good reasons}.

Once built, it's then used by law enforcement, because it exists and gets the job done.

Pretending there's a sinister, organized New World Order (aka "them") with decades-long plans to restrict freedom is fantasy, and doesn't help us target the actual problem.

A lot of bureaucrats and legislators are instead just disorganized, technically clueless, and listen to the loudest and most organized group. Which tends to be intelligence or law enforcement.

TFA rightly calls on citizens to instead be that group, on the side of freedom.
The very purpose of privacy is to break laws. Privacy is the space where laws do not apply.

I don't remember where I heard it, but I really like this definition of privacy. It's a defense against bad laws and there are quite a few of those, including child porn and child abuse laws that actually lead to prosecution of adolescents (sending nudes to each other) and loss of access to medical information for kids (anyone tried to search for "12yo penis" images?).

I've been dealing with the "you're the best....sorry no raise" for a while, you just have to decide if it's worth staying? What I don't deal with is management trying to replace me, like they are trying to replace you. I suggest looking for something new, yo seemed to have hit a brick wall at your company and it really doesn't matter who's at fault or the reason, it's just time to go.
Another noteworthy difference is that while both backgamnon and The Game of Life have rules, in backgammon all players are generally obligated to follow the rules.
I’ll note this every time this kind of story comes up: it’s good and correct to direct ire at the police here, but it’s also not the end of the story. The story also continues through America’s isolationist and atavistic car culture: you simply don’t see this kind of bloodthirst for “protecting children” in countries (or even areas within the US) with sensible urban design and correspondingly shifted expectations about the public.

This should not be read as an excuse, but as an analysis of how we prevent these kinds of absurd individual violations at their root: the police in so many parts of the US derive power from the latent fear of strangers that comes with car-dependent living. Remove that source of fear and power, and the public becomes less tolerant of state kidnappings.
We'd suddenly have a lot more gangs with firearm training roaming the streets after layoffs. That'll show us.

For whatever reason, our society has confused well-being with safety. Those are not one and the same.

There will be a time when an adult has to assess risks and opportunity, and make choices. There are things in one’s life where they have to face the unknown and decide actions without having safety nets. A life cowering from the possibilities is small, with the illusion of safety.

And that’s for navigating one’s own life. What happens when these risk-adverse kids are raising their own kids?

What happen when these kids are the adults who have to vote and make decisions on things that affect the whole society?
1000% this. You should never stay at one job longer than 5 years, and I think 3 years per job is probably optimal. There are people that will tell you that "job hopping" will catch up with you, but those people are dead wrong.
