The UK government can legally fine any company doing business in the UK. It can probably fine any company anywhere. A financial fiction that "WhatsApp UK" had nothing to do with Meta is not going to affect that. It's just collection that is the problem, but I would imagine that they would go after Meta's UK advertising revenue.
You are not required to use your phone number for 2FA. In fact, they discourage users from using SMS for 2FA.
If they’re talking about the Jewish observance of the sabbath, it’s my understanding that they’re not allowed to turn on an electronic (or mechanical?) device nor turn one off during the sabbath itself.

Obvious exceptions are made for such things as life-saving situations, the practice of medicine, etc.
Not OP, but grew up observant. What's meant there is that you choose to not change the state of the electronics. An light that's already on stays on the entire time - you don't turn it off. You end up with an extra set of intentionality - you have to decide during the week if you want lights during the evening in the winter on Friday nights (and if you do, how late should they be on as you're probably setting up a timer on a smart plug).
This is a good estimate to remember when the argument is made that Medicare and Medicaid are superior to private payers because they have much lower administrative overhead.

Yes, if you are willing to tolerate mid-single-digit fraud rates—cost billed to the taxpayer—you can indeed lower your administration burden.
That's basically what made me switch. Apple has a huge advantage there, at least over Amazon.

I'm a low level programmer, and programming in rust feels exactly like someone is taking the control I need to do my job away from me. maybe I'm wrong, and I can get it back by reverse engineering the whole stack and getting underneath things like tokio.
I used to work for a company whose primary line of business was providing analytical support for state Attorneys General with Medicare and Medicaid fraud trials. The biggest issues were, beyond a shadow of a doubt, known and established healthcare companies knowingly breaking the law: major pharmaceutical companies overcharging for prescription drugs, healthcare providers receiving kickbacks for prescribing drugs or medical devices, doctors upcoding procedures, etc. As fascinating as the criminals and schemes described in the article are, organizations created deliberately for fraud are not where the most fraud is occurring. It's large, "legitimate" businesses sucking at the blood of both their patients and the American taxpayers.
getting punched in the face is an appropriate response for deflating someone's tire and causing them to miss work or something. actions have consequences. by the way, even if i were the person doing activism, i would assume risk and assume that if someone caught me messing with their car, i would probably risk some sort of bodily damage. i wouldn't go into the situation with some imaginary "im doing this for us all therefore you'll understand and let me do this peacefully" type of muck

The changes in the quantities λi and E are correlated, and the result is used to slowly change μi. The filters are to remove DC components.

Hell, one of the two Senators for Florida, Rick Scott, was a founder and CEO of a company that was guilty of one of the largest healthcare fraud cases in US history, involving systematic fraudulent billing, unnecessary testing, bribes and fraudulent bookkeeping of Medicare.

Somehow he got off by resigning as CEO, and went on to be elected governor and then senator of Florida. Absolutely mind-boggling that he seemed to face no personal consequences for the fraud. In fact, when he resigned he was paid out millions and granted hundreds of millions in stock by the board.

Combined with today's separate administrative settlement with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), under which HCA will pay an additional $250 million to resolve overpayment claims arising from certain of its cost reporting practices, the government will have recovered $1.7 billion from HCA, by far the largest recovery ever reached by the government in a health care fraud investigation.

Staying one year or five years is not important. It is important that you feel part of the team and valued.

If I read between the lines, you sound stressed (for whatever reason). You might have been reading too much into the firing/layoff. You might have an unrealistic expectation of the performance required out of you.

In Amazon, you would spend a lot more time interacting with teams that just writing code. The interdependencies between the teams are insane and depending on the level and your team, a lot of work would look ad-hoc and not well planned.

Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about it separately.
The UK just released an interesting study on four-day work weeks https://autonomy.work/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/The-results...
I didn't really enjoy my experience with the few operators I've worked with, mainly because they require the maintainer to build in some sort of access to basic kubernetes functionality. I see the benefit of operators, but I hated that in order to do something as simple as define memory/CPU limits to certain containers I would need to open a PR to the repo and wait weeks, sometimes months, for a new release.

It's frustrating to be a kubernetes admin but not have access to basic configuration options because the maintainers of even some very high-profile operators (looking at you, AWX) neglected to build in access to basic functionality.
It looks like it's for accounts that contribute code. Compromised accounts can sneak malicious stuff into dependencies.
Yea definitely, I've noticed that a zero temperature isn't perfectly deterministic, but the results seem reasonably consistent.

> Enroll second factors. Having more accessible 2FA methods is important to ensure that you always have access to your account. You can now have both an authenticator app (TOTP) and an SMS number registered on your account at the same time. While we recommend using security keys and your TOTP app over SMS, allowing both at the same time helps reduce account lock out by providing another accessible, understandable 2FA option that developers can enable.

Nope, useless initiative if they allow people to use SMS codes. Sim-hijacking is so easy that I'd wager not having any 2FA is more secure than offering SMS 2FA, as people will also be able to social engineer Microsoft to give access to a GitHub account if they are the "telephone number owner", as long as they can prove they can solve the SMS 2FA.

Sad to see, but not surprising.
Yes, it is.

As you surely know, Rick Scott (former Governor and now Senator) is a big player in the fraud game (as you put it).

Columbia / HCA Fraud Investigation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Scott#Fraud_investigation...

"In late 2002, HCA agreed to pay the United States government $631 million, plus interest, and $17.5 million to state Medicaid agencies, in addition to $250 million paid up to that point to resolve outstanding Medicare expense claims. In all, civil lawsuits cost HCA more than $2 billion to settle; at the time, this was the largest fraud settlement in U.S. history."

It's reductive to say that the Catholic Church merely condemns gay sex. They also do not allow gay people to get married - which is the difference between their stance on pre-marital sex. There is no way within the framework of Catholicism that one can live as a gay couple, completely equal in rights to heterosexuals. It is Catholic Church doctrine to discriminate between heterosexual and homosexual couples - and if that discrimination doesn't read as condemnation to you, the church also literally condemns people to hell who disagree.

When it comes to funding for Gnome vs. KDE I'd it's probably a lot closer between the two than a lot of people realize, especially if you consider that KDE didn't have to shoulder the development of the GUI toolkit alone (even though it has contributed a lot of code to Qt and provided some maintainers). I don't think Sun's investment at the time was all that big in today's terms. Canonical also hired plenty from the KDE community (I'm sure you're aware Ubuntu Touch was done on Qt, and in terms of staff and expense a much larger project than Ubuntu Desktop; Kubuntu also had Canonical funding and paid devs for a while), as did Trolltech/Qt, as did Nokia, as did SuSE as you mention. There's also always been indirect funding (and hiring) through the consultancy ecosystem, e.g. KDAB's commercial contracts to maintain PIM for a while, and other such engagements, e.g. by the city government of Munich and other municipal and educational deployments large enough to pay contractors. Blue Systems has employed a significant team of core devs for closing in on a decade now, and Valve has engagements with them and others.

When it comes to Qt vs. GTK: I would guesstimate that at the peak, GTK+ perhaps had around 10 concurrent paid devs? The peak for Qt was in the 100s, from markets like embedded and automotive that GTK+ hasn't really been able to access (yes, I had all the Maemo devices too). And even for its core focus area, desktop apps, GTK+ hasn't seen a lot of adoption outside the Linux niche, whereas there's a seriously large amount of commercial Windows/Mac software using Qt. This is really what I meant.

Bottom line: Most PC users have a few copies of Qt on their computer, and perhaps own a device or two in their home and another in their garage that also has Qt on it. The same cannot be said for GTK+. A computer with GTK+ on it is relatively rare, perhaps in the tens of millions vs. billions.

It's also worth noting that users who migrate away from Qt do it to either Flutter (because of more permissive licensing - BSD - or mobile capabilities) or Electron (to share tech with their website) or Unity/Unreal (because of the rendering capabilities), but not to GTK+. Users who migrate away from GTK+ often migrate to Qt (e.g. Wireshark and a couple of others). I can't think of an example of anyone moving to GTK+ from really anything else (probably exists but likely minor). To me that means that while Qt has fierce competition, GTK+ is not really among it.
We actually wanted to give company phones to the staff for this purpose among others but there was a rather big pushback, people didn't wanted another devices to carry.

The CockRoach DB example in the article is a perfect example of an unnecessary CRD. Acquiring certificates within an Kubernetes cluster is a common requirement for lots of applications and there are lots of solutions out there. Is it really necessary to spend time writing your own operator? Now you have a second helm chart and an operator to maintain. Now you have to explain to people which chart to use. You could get rid of the non-operator chart but now I have operators within the cluster acquiring certificates in 5 or 6 different ways. Do I have to configure the credentials for 6 operators so they can make Route53 DNS challenge records?

Edit: maybe we could shift left and ask the app developers to add certificate acquisition directly into the app source.

I interviewed at Cognex 15 years ago. They eliminated their EE department down to one H-1B who broke down in tears as I tried to figure out why I was being interviewed by people with no knowledge about the job. They were solely interested in the ability to reverse engineer something without any documentation. It was clear they were just repackaging cheap SZ camera modules in overpriced yellow boxes. Everyone was glowing about their "legacy" product line from before they canned their engineers. Nothing but crickets when asked about the new stuff. The founders had constructed this weird personality cult around themselves. Glad I dodged that bullet.
You have a very unique definition of "supremacist" if targeting black people for beatings can be termed "black supremacy".

At least as far as dear imgui is concerned, it's an amazing library for dev tools but the accessibility story is dire and it has poor support for high quality typography, so it's a non starter if you're serious about good UI.

This is not to diminish the quality work that went into the library, but I passed over it for those and other reasons. I used nuklear for a bit since its typography was extensible but in the end it was too hard to overcome its other issues, so I use a custom mixed immediate/retained library now with rich text and accessibility support.
Isn't this the same kind of dismissive, silencing behavior the submission calls out? You don't seem to practice what you preach.
There are much better alternatives than buying a smartphone if all you want to provide is a 2FA device. Yubikey is one alternative, as a consumer you can buy it for ~50 EUR but I'm sure if you buy 100+ for employees, you can get some sort of deal with them.

I've been learning Rust because it's clearly going to be an important language moving forward. I get what it's trying to do, but I do have to admit that I'm finding it an unpleasant and ugly language to use.

But it just joins the group of other unpleasant and ugly languages. It is what it is, and in a sense, it's following a tradition that's been around since the beginning.
I also learned that it's possible to create an ECDSA key pair within the Secure Enclave, and it is only possible to extract the public key, or to authenticate with it, including when you SSH to GitHub. Your private key is never on disk.

It seems clear that, in light of the quote from Winograd, that simply isn't true.

> But SHRDLU, academic demo that it was, was a program hand-crafted by a single PhD student in a few months. It didn't have behind it a team of 30+ people, or a budget of hundreds of thousands of dollars, like GPT-3 -and who knows about ChatGPT!

Do you have some idea in mind how we might scale up from SHRDLU's approach? Does Winograd? It seems pretty clear to me that no one does; it was a one-off toy that didn't solve any fundamental problems.

> And yet it still worked better than ChatGPT has ever worked, even though just for the purpose of moving virtual blocks around a virtual world.

There are plenty of questions remaining concerning LLMs. We don't know what they will be used for, where they will succeed and fail. But they are absolutely a huge step forward from earlier attempts and it's utterly bizarre to deny that.
Any TOTP app will work, but most people will use an app on their phone. Plenty of desktop apps exist. There are also usb key devices supported.
Absolutely yes.

Hardware tokens cost <$50, compared to what companies pay employees on a monthly basis it's peanuts.

Not yet, it seems? "Lastly, we’re already testing passkeys internally, which we believe will combine ease of use with strong, phishing-resistant authentication. Keep an eye on this space for when this functionality is ready for you."

>Catholic Church is not condemning homosexuals.

Only in the past ten years, under Francis' papacy, has rhetoric from the Catholic Church towards homosexuals began to soften. While that's certainly a great thing, that doesn't mean that the views shared by aged bishops, priests and general members of the church have changed as a result of that. We still see signs of that condemnation across the world regularly. They may be changing, but the damage is still present and still happening - it will take a long time for that to disappear, if ever.

>Why it should?

I'd say we should ask every priest, bishop and pope who has criticized homosexuality why they felt they should. I really don't understand why you would ask that rhetorical question when there are centuries of proof of them doing exactly that.
