> Nintendo is the pettiest and shittiest to its incredibly passionate fan base.

Eh... Not really?

I mean, what are we even complaining about here? That a company did some minor step (in a too little too late fashion) to block their old console, that everyone and their dog already hacked?

And even still, how does it impede the homebrew people? Plenty of emulators for every Nintendo console available anyway.

And let's not pretend like this is not going to be bypassed as well. I would be surprised if in half a year there is not a new way to just hack it anyway.
I actually ended up making a physical Kanban board at home in a central location. Relatively large corkboard using 3x5 index cards, with a few layers of backlog, in-progress lane with a hard cap of 2 cards, and about 1/3 of the space reserved for done cards. This last bit should be unnecessary in theory but I find psychologically satisfying to look at. This is for shared use by the family.
I don't see anything to dislike here. It is an update, and this particular notice is avoiding any of the usual nonsense like "to better serve our customers" or "to improve your experience".

It seems straightforward and to the point. And they're a for-profit corporation, of course they need to protect their profitability. That goes without saying. If they go out of business, then no Netflix programming for anybody, and no subscriber wants that or they wouldn't be subscribing in the first place.

That sounds fascinating and complicated. I scratched my car a few years ago and decided I wanted to DIY a chameleon paint job instead of taking it to the shop (the car is worth less than the paint job if I pay retail). I’ve been slowly acquiring all the gear I need like a forced air respirator and sprayers.

I was wondering how realistic that really is to DIY or if I’m kidding myself. Sound like even if I rented a stall in a paint shop for a few weeks, I won’t have the time to finesse the technique to get a good end product, especially with how much more finicky I understand the chameleon paint to be.
It's a cute idea and I love the concept from XKCD, but the best practice is just to use a password manager and stop trying to remember passwords (and absolutely never reusing passwords).
yep, those ideas will be hard to model indeed...

If it is free, who is paying for your searches then and why? Because someone has to, and the bill for search + GPT-4 ain't small.

The lander size under consideration is about 40x that of the Martian rover, I don’t know that a sky crane would work as well without a parachuting stage and atmosphere, and finally it seems rather unhelpful for taking off.
So if you can behave perfectly normally in the streets - why can't you behave perfectly normally in the office? You are the one saying that it's actually normal that men react this way, but I don't think so. My experiences don't match that at all. I work in an office with women, they don't get harassed and we've never not hired someone because they are or aren't attractive. So you can keep pointing to vague truisms that have nothing to do with anything (I don't steal but I know thieves exist). Yeah, I don't steal either, and when someone does, I call the cops. I don't live my life in fear of people stealing. I don't treat entire categories of people (you here perform the incredibly ridiculous task of equating the entire gender of women to 'thieves' because apparently all women think the same according to you...) based upon that notion, yet you do.

> Why should the burden of keeping small rural hospitals open fall entirely on private health plans?

Because that's how the majority of Americans get their healthcare? I assume that's the case, but I don't actually know - as mentioned there are multiple single-payer health plans (lol) that cover those we have deemed worthy of them. The paper linked says that rural hospitals need to bill higher because their unit costs to deliver healthcare are higher (which makes basic economic sense). Therefore it would seem like the market solution would be to charge people who live in rural areas more for healthcare/insurance.

I can never tell whether the US is a nation or an economy.

I personally have a habit of updating only when the next patch version is out. It saved be countless hours of debugging and frustration.
I pay for 2 devices so a friend can use my subscription, though he does not live with me. I watch Netflix once a week for an hour or two, maybe, unless I'm actually binging something. He watches it non-stop pretty much as background noise. I wonder if they will assume he is the main user, even though I pay for it. Will they compare my IP address location with my billing address?

I guess I should have just kept it at 1 device and not tried to pay for my friend's usage.
I would describe the best "second-tier" academics I've encountered as mostly fitting the "parents money" archetype.

They're not the uber geniuses who flit to the top, but since the toxic incentives aren't as important to them due to their financial independence they get to focus on the work which ultimately pays dividends in their career.

It shouldn't be that hard to figure this out using a variety of metrics - and remember, they can be pretty cautious in their enforcement and the enforcement doesn't have to be real-time.

For example, Netflix can easily notice that a TV is connecting from AT&T Fiber with one IP and another TV is connecting from Spectrum with a different IP. Many times they're watching at the same time so it's not someone on vacation.

It's relatively easy to note mobile devices like iPhones/Android and they have device IDs. Maybe you could hook your phone up to your TV, but most people aren't going to want to do that to save $8/mo (and walk up to their phone connected to the TV to select a new show or pause it). If the phone is on a WiFi connection (rather than cellular), Netflix can easily see that it's not the same household. People aren't likely to want to pay for a cellular plan (at $25+ per month) to avoid an $8 charge from Netflix.

If you're looking to catch 99% of people and you don't need it to be real-time, this should be pretty easy. Maybe some people will set up home VPNs, but that's going to be a small number of people. Even then, Android devices will give access to WiFi SSIDs in the area and even iOS has a permission to scan for Bluetooth devices which can be used for some amount of locating.

I guess the flip side of your question would be: how would you make it seem like you were connecting from the same household? You'd probably want all devices to be connecting from the same IP address. You'd probably want all devices connecting to the same SSID - and have neighboring SSIDs be the same. You wouldn't want them to see "they're both connecting to XYZ and have the same IP address, but they're each seeing a dozen additional SSIDs and zero overlap - what are the odds of that?" You can control your own SSID, but not all your neighbors' SSIDs.

I don't think Netflix is looking for something foolproof. I'm guessing they're looking for something that will find most instances of sharing while still being cautious enough that they don't bother people who aren't sharing. Even if your IP address is dynamic or CG-NAT, it'll still be the same for all your devices at a given time. Most people have internet from a handful of companies and it isn't that hard to figure out how those ISPs are handling things and accommodate it.

In fact, Netflix doesn't really need to do this blindly. They have logs from years of our usage. They have probably already detected who is using it in multiple locations and that makes it easy to put a flag on the account for the future. This account has been used in multiple locations for the past 3 years, if something looks suspicious, throw up the validation challenge. On other accounts without such a history, they could be more cautious. Netflix probably isn't worried about one month of sharing compared to the ongoing decade-long sharing that they believe is eating into their revenue. They can bide their time.
I'll be astounded if we make it to 2050.
They also advertised their plans as allowing a certain number of active screens at once. If I pay for something that allows three people to watch at the same time on different devices I don't care which house or what building those three people are sitting in.
Installing in this case means copying files to your web server.
We use it professionally at work, great enough tool!
Am I missing something? You quote the CEO saying it's fine to share account within the household and eventually the kids will grow up and get their own accounts when making money and moving. How does it differ from Netflix now saying that you're not allowed to share your account with people OUTSIDE of a household unless paying for it?
> It’s really interesting how the US has managed to get a health system that’s extremely expensive, doesn’t cover everybody, is highly bureaucratic and complex, delivers below average outcomes and has overworked hospital staff.

The healthcare industry (it should not be an "industry") in the US is all about extracting maximum profit for the benefit of middlemen.

In a rational system, the only people who should be involved in health care are the patients and the providers (doctors, nurses, technicians, etc) who actually provide health care. Nobody else should be involved, let alone skimming profits from the care.

In the US both the providers and the patients are just an afterthought, the whole system is set up to extract maximum profit to the hospital and clinic administrators and, most and worst of all, to the insurance industry. The latter of course contributes nothing at all in therms of actual health care, it's pure profiteering.

The solutions are quite simple, but they don't maximize the share price and CxO bonuses at insurance companies so it's not possible to implement them in the US.
I’m not sure.

These services only have new good content like 50% of the time. So it makes more sense to cycle subscriptions on and off. This is harder if you’ve given someone your password (I’d definitely not be subscribed to Disney+ right now if my sibling wasn’t using it).
The whole point of bringing countries like China into the world economic system is to make sure that they realize that aggressive action is counterproductive and they refrain from doing so.

Unfortunately that hasn't really worked with China, which is why the world is starting to decouple from China; the CPP still prioritizes its institutional needs over "The People", which is ironic since they're supposed to be working for "The People."

That's probably why the CPP is scared of the people and tries to control them.
If they had kept Super Mario 64 and/or Super Mario Sunshine and/or Super Mario Galaxy available for sale since their consoles were discontinued, Nintendo wouldn’t have sold 9 million+ copies of Super Mario 3D All Stars.

I bet they make more from re-releasing ports of “vault” titles than they would keeping them for sale forever.
"The"? Multiple people may hold the key.

"Person"? The release could be part of an automated process.

> In what sense? If someone signs a package with, say, a RSA key, how is that behind in some way?

OpenPGP specifies PKCS#1 v1.5 for RSA padding. Attacks on PKCS#1 v1.5 have been well understood for over 20 years[1]; every few years, someone finds a new one.

RSA itself is well-known for having weird number-theoretic problems that implementations have failed to respect, to catastrophic effects. Best practice for algorithm selection is to pick algorithms where users can't compromise the integrity of the scheme through poor public parameter selection; RSA forces the user to pick a public modulus and exponent, leading to all kinds of silly things that actually happen[2].

Edit: Correcting myself: most attacks on v1.5 padding concern encryption, not signatures. The general fragility argument remains, however.

I also don't listen to FM much anymore, but it may be worth recalling: in the States they still rely on sending little pieces of paper around for many payments, so there's probably a similar analogue fetish occurring in this instance.

Ha, yeah, reinforces the idea that if you don't have crazy-good opsec you better not post anything online—including in places as relatively-safe as IRC or direct messages—that you don't want in the newspaper, with your name next to it.
ChatGPT Code Interpreter really is incredibly useful.

In addition to data analysis stuff, I've also used it for running comparative benchmarks: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/12/code-interpreter/

You can upload all sorts of weird things to it. I've uploaded .whl wheel files from PyPI to give it extra Python dependencies.

I also uploaded a Deno (and a Lua) interpreter and that gave it the ability to write and execute code in JavaScript and Lua!

I toggle around with the idea that the system is designed or heavily influenced to be like this to benefit the big-industries and rich people. Have talent but need money? Work for big industry. Have money and can afford to stay in school? Get some patents and get more rich. I know this is a bit tin foil hat-ish.

A labor union? 1/3 Americans were covered by one within living memory.

Let people have a voice in their workplace. It's so funny to me how Americans wax poetic about republics and democracy until it comes time to talk about their workplaces. Or about how taxes are theft but the surplus value of their labor that is increasingly held captive by faceless NGOs is not discussed.

People should work to live and not the other way around.
It is viable. Just not in a way that you accept.
There's actually nothing stupid about maintaining the fact that you come off like an incel, despite you insisting that you've gotten laid.
This could really use a entropy measure for the options you pick. Also what is the default dictionary?

If it is diceware, then the site's default 4 words hasn't been considered secure for a while. There is an Ars Technica article from 2014 that says 6 should be the minimum. I bet it is higher now.
The logic seems pretty clear to me, both in terms of financial necessity (keeping Netflix in business) and in terms of policy for households.

And Netflix is a private company, so however dependents or health insurance or voting or phone plans are defined is irrelevant. Also, all of those definitions are different from each other anyways, so it's not like there's any consistency in the first place.
You might be able to but you'd have to reauthenticate every now and then, basically as if you were in a vacation home. The details aren't clear.
I cannot see this happening. The Switch is old and the new console will be coming out either next year or the year after. It doesn't make much sense for them to be releasing a lot of new feature that might draw people away from their next console. Now adding games to their next console? I can see that if the hardware is right.

Thing is though, nothing will be as pleasant as using it on the actual hardware. If it isn't on an actual DS/3DS, I don't see the point in playing at all personally unless they radically change the controls to a rereleased game.

I was not referring to the statement that pipelining serves maximizing throughput. I agree with that. I was referring to the statement that pipelining would be a kind of asynchronous communication.
Would feel like less of a money grab if they rolled this out with price reductions, given the increase in subscriptions I assume they expect as a consequence. They might even be able to sell it as a way to bring justice to those that do not share accounts and who are currently covering the cost of other people doing it.
It might depend. If you regularly take your work computer home and connect from your home network, it should be fine. Otherwise, Netflix might challenge you and you might be able to verify the device.
Seems really expensive for just a headless CMS. $300 a month for the "starter" small team pack. Then the extra premium features like $99 monthly just to have access to webhooks and another $99 to track revision history (when other CMSes include both in all plans for free) feels like a lot to ask.

Is there something that you think sets Cosmic apart from other headless CMSes? I have used many headless (or headless capable) CMS platforms and many aren't all that different aside from pricing and UI.

But:

But having a wordlist of ~2281 words means the search space is 2281^4 = 2.7e+13 which is less than an ascii password (roughly 100 usable ascii characters?) of length 7 i.e. 100^7 = 1e+14
In finance most people aren't going to end up as an MD (Managing Director, not doctor) but that's probably a goal for most people entering investment banking.

> I assumed it didn't matter but turns out right goes back, but after you go back, left swipe gives you a new article instead of going back to the article you went back from

This is actually a bug, it's supposed to go forward but it seems `window.navigation.canGoForward` is not implemented in Safari. I'll add a workaround, and then think about better ways to navigate between articles.

> preload the next page

This is supposed to happen already (the API is queried in advance), but it might be slow due to updating the DOM. I'll see if there's a way I can pre-render the next page (might work well with your visual feedback suggestion).

> does the algorithm track how I scrolled the page, which words I dwelled on etc.?

No but I'd like to try something like this and see if it helps the suggestions.

> letting people see more of what you track, like what articles they've read and show them long lists of related articles for the current article, so that you can see that you're making progress instead of feeling that it's an endless pit of information

That's a great idea! Once I've fixed the numerous bugs I'll try and add some interesting/fun stats.

> Will you open source this?

Yes! The only reason it's not already open source is because I'd like to clean up the code a little first.

> The defenders of the system are entirely medical workers

No, that's not correct. Doctors and nurses largely despise the US system. They are incredibly overworked and streched too thin to provide great care (and most of them are in it at least partially because they enjoy caring for people).

The US system only benefits the middlemen who provide no healtcare value: insurance companies and hospita/clinic adminitrators.
