University of Rochester responding to data breach
can't believe he managed to get though this entire article without once mentioning the artifact by name. its called the rosetta stone and its currently held in the ancient history museum of London. definitely worth seeing in person.
There's always a third choice:

- Do nothing on most days, hold cash, earn a little interest, maybe play bridge to keep yourself entertained, and bet big only when you're sure you'll win big.

Call it the Buffett approach. The main downside to it is that on most days you have nothing to do.
You can, however use DNS-based adblocking. Mullvad has a free service at adblock.doh.mullvad.net.
You’re saying you didn’t bet on Java.
I mean it is interesting that you picked the most "respectable" option as a counter, so how about a more regular example.

What about Ukraine? Yanukovich looted his country and lived in a palace with an exotic zoo and bathrooms that had TVs at sitting-on-the-toilet height so that he wouldn't miss his shows while he dealt with his constipation problems.

Or in Angola, where a minister's daughter came to NYC and starred on Say Yes to the Dress, and in fact said yes to about a dozen dresses, just for herself, for just her wedding, each in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, even though 66% of Angolans are impoverished? The minister salaries don't cover such costs.

Do you consider kleptocracy to be the natural and right state of the world? (never mind, I skimmed previous comments of yours - "libertarian", reagan-worshipping, hyper-conservative. You won't answer 'yes', but you will ask 'if that's how the world works then what's wrong with it?')
As in, write your entire application in SQL? That sounds like a nightmare of epic proportions. Every time I've tried to use SQL for anything more general-purpose (like string manipulation, say) I've wanted to gouge my eyes out by the end.
Are you talking about UberMedia? I used to work there!
Its a waste of money you could actually help people instead. When Victor Hugo published his novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame in 1831 nobody cared about Notre Dame. Anything of value had been stolen during the French Revolution and the Cathedral was in terrible repair.
Hm I have quite the opposite experience. I've never had so many bugs with Twitter as I do right now.

The feed random refresh bug never went away and somehow managed to get worse. Right as I'm reading something it'll vanish without a trace. I probably see this five times per day.

Sometimes I'll find my app on the "Following" feed even though I never actually switched to it (I'm weird, I actually enjoy the For You feed a lot).

Sometimes the content clearly hasn't refreshed because I see new things on my desktop that aren't on my mobile app.

The quality of the content has taken a sharp nose dive too. Almost everything is useless threads from "thought influencers", memes, or completely random posts that I have never interacted with ever in my life (anime memes? a thousand posts about the barbie movie)

The quality of the replies is awful now that blue check users are all at the top. It essentially made it "pay to be seen" rather than having the more interesting replies at the top. This makes me the most sad I think :(

Aside from that though, it feels like roughly the same app but with some small tweaks here and there.
LOL, the CA Democratic Party is by no means a monolith.

There are leftist and centrists, and some good bills die because the centrists + GOP have enough votes to kill them.
Its almost like we need to have an organization of investors who think about corporate governance issues. Maybe we can call these "G" investors.

But G investors won't be very strong as a block on their own. There's a large block of environmentalists (maybe call them "E" investors), and another block of people who care about social issues (call them "S" investors?).

Then people can get together in one big, ESG, block, to try to make sure that modern companies think about environmental, societal, and corporate governance issues.

----------

ESG has plenty of faults mind you. But the methodology to organize our money into blocks that focus on these issues is sound. We just need to come up with a better governance issue for ESG itself.
Is a credible Reddit alternative (that operates on the same extremely broad scope and large scale) even possible without eventually going down the same road?
iOS Safari addons are about 1.5 years old at this point. https://www.theverge.com/22722886/safari-extensions-ios-15-i...
Since Apollo qualifies as a small/medium business, that's 15%
Of course CEO pay should scale with the size of the company. We expect the CEO of McDonalds to make more money than the CEO of a local diner. The market value of the CEO's talent relates to the scale and success of the business they have been leading. It would be easy for Sarandos to get an executive role at any other tech company, which is not the case for the CEO of a local business.

You could try to pay the CEO of Netflix $500k, but you're going to be out a CEO pretty quick. This is just how markets work.
Ha, given the current state of politics in the US, I can't decide which side would be the support, and which the deny.
Citation 3 of the linked paper is https://twitter.com/who/status/1243972193169616898. I don't see how a tweet by the WHO beginning with "FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne" can be construed as anything but a denial that COVID-19 is airborne.
Yeah, similarly IT workers compensation in America never made any sense to me. All over the world its 1/3rd or less than here in US.
Renaissance is the right word. Parts of it are becoming true gems, but a lot is in flux and not everything is coming up. It's a very exciting and fluid time in the area.
When the unknowns were high, it seems reasonable that we would err on the side of caution, including using hand sanitizer. I do not see it as insanity, but rather a reasonable thing to do given the unknowns were high at the time.
Yes, the compiler is available here: https://palmdb.net/app/PocketC-Compiler

Not alone but definitely in the minority.

I am not sure if it is statistically significant but I founded a small tech sub-reddit (~30k users) and from the moderator stats 70% of traffic is from their iOS app.

I used to use 'reddit.com/.compact' which was an actual mobile friendly and light interface, but that was depricated this year and now, like you, I am stuck with old.reddit.com on mobile.
Most votes are non-binding in these matters across most corporations. Heck, most corporate votes are non-binding except for ones like board membership, mergers and (in some cases) issuing new shares.

In theory, it should scare the board away from this compensation level (and provide justification the board can use to offer a lower compensation). If they fail to do so, it might be used by an outside group to try to take over the board. After all, it's like most elections. The counterbalance is you vote on the board and can get them out.
You find healthier ways to use your time, a developer loses his livelihood. The outrage is at the latter, not about how you use Reddit.
I don't think it is Twitter's fault at all. Twitter and Reddit are simply responding to companies like OpenAI scraping their data and building big models off of it without giving anything back to the websites (or their users).
Maybe I’m just lucky. Or maybe I’m just used to being uncomfortable from the decades of fighting migraines sans modern medicine. But I pretty easily wore N95s at work for entire shifts at times. Yes there are annoyances but I’ll take it over even getting the common cold or flu.
And "not well-optimized for precision" is often considered a feature.
We did a several thousand mile road trip a couple years ago. We planned it out using various online tools and pen and paper. Will have to look into doing something like this the next time.

The kiddos got to see a LOT of really cool things. They had a blast.
AFAICT that's mostly about not building new factories in the same place as old/obsolete factories.
like to over come the hitman
> media and telecom industry is concentrated in the hands of three wealthy families

> monopoly-preserving protectionist measures

That’s exactly what it is. They don’t like it that others can bypass their influence and become successful without them, so they lobby the government to legislate them back into a rent seeking position.

Cool, like a DIY AAA TripTik (anyone else used to pick those up for trips?)
Looks like there are kits in the 60-100$ range, a local college chemistry lab might also be able to do it, there may also be a simple test you can apply - sounds like much more effort than what you put in acquiring, might be worthwhile to just cut it at a loss if you think it is a risk at all
Neither have I, outside of COVID-19-delta, and I haven't followed any recommendation (outside of wearing a cloth mask indoors when required). How do you know it's not a coincidence?
But due to limitations of physics, nothing will be continuous.

Is amount of water in a bucket continuous? No, you can count each individual atoms. So you can simulate that by using large enough integers. Same principle applies everwhere
That's fine for you, but for many this represents "the end of Reddit as they know it today"

Kind of a big deal for me.
Yep, to the modern administrative class "don't shit where you eat" is laughably old fashioned. Modernity brings a new contest: who can shit where they eat the most for the longest? Last one to get cholera wins! And don't worry about the actual cholera infection, that's what taxpayer bailouts are for!
Exactly. And we rarely use regulation to force unwilling parties to produce or pay for them. This is like making a regulation saying that public parks are good, so restaurants have to build parks.

Ah, you're irritable because it's personal to you. Yes, people place conditions on what they are willing to purchase, that's... how it works?

Why do I even want to be on Mastodon, let alone pay to be on it, let alone pay someone who is rent-seeking on top of a platform and content they aren't responsible for? Can't I get access to the social network direct from the source, for free?
I got hired a few years ago by emailing a contact in a "who's hiring" post. Still working there, and it's a great job! A big step up from my previous role.
The shareholders are able. They just have to elect board members who will do what they want, firing the executives if necessary.
The fact that she refused all contact with authorities seems to indicate that part of the problem is how many fists have ended up in her face before this incident.

I would like to point out that if the trend of authorities not being trusted (and frankly, of authorities behaving untrustworthy) doesn't reverse, the number of undetected cases will multiply to the point that force won't be an option.
I don't know if Brazil is eager to "team up" with the USA. Famously, places in South America have not been treated very well by the USA gov. I also believe Brazil is very focused on being self-sufficient and not reliant on others, as evidenced by the large taxes imposed on foreign goods and, for example, their use of Ethanol grown and processed in-country. I believe they could take advantage of the mining opportunities, but I don't think the USA will have any special place in line to buy the mined minerals.
What we really need is an AI to delete code.
Basically, getting rid of dopamine-driven entertainment has been the key. Going back to the 90s with pocket versions of games like Oregon Trail and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego has been helpful. Board games, card games, lots of books, antenna TV, and DVDs for entertainment has made a big difference!
I would like to know how the ME shares the NIC with the user OS on these systems. Do they have a completely separate interface that somehow uses the same physical port? Do the drivers from the two operating systems cooperate? Do they have one MAC address or two? What happens if the user installs a PCI NIC and doesn’t plug in the onboard interface?

I just plum read too much about immunology and pathogens during the pandemic. Plus being able to opt out of pollen and flu season is just a duh, why not. Yes our bodies are good at fighting off stuff. Doesn’t mean I need to roll the dice with everything all the time.
I don’t think the lowering of the average age is necessary one of the problems, but the fact that some of the new users are posing this problem is a symptom of a bigger one. They tend to comprise of many of the armchair-experts because a good deal of them learned very early to value engagement and good messaging over accuracy.

Part of this has to do with the gauges of success. Other first generation of this appeared on older forums, basic info like join date and post count served as an indicator of engagement and implied trustworthiness by the content creator.

The next big innovation was “karma” or “likes” which required very little effort on the part if the viewer but was a strong signal of audience engagement.

Both of these indicators of engagement are inherently flawed because they incentivize quantity over quality. The only thing I can think of that’s different is something like the famously meritocratic GitHub, which is it’s own dystopian ecosystem.

I don’t know how to solve this exactly, but as long as incentives to create reward those with pure eyeball counts and not material quality, we will constantly run into this problem of low-quality, high production value content that serves as useless trash to sift through. I think GPT programs will be created to make a greater and faster tsunami of shit that will grace the internet and we will eventually be totally and completely overrun with shallow pieces masquerading as quality.
To be fair, though, RPi's price point is well within the impulse-purchase threshold of normal people, let alone wealthy nerds.
I wasn't scared of COVID but Antibiotic resistant TB scares the hell out of me.

TB is extremely dangerous, airborne, and if it's the antibiotic resistant type...completely incurable.

The worst thing about the overreaction to COVID is it made people lose trust in health authorities and right fully so.

But trust me AB resistant TB is scary shit.
Yeah, frankly for a hacker or enthusiast this is probably not an issue, but if you're looking for something like PiHole or a small emulation box then the fact that the Pi is "standard" and has standard drop-in solutions is worth a non-trivial amount of money, even if the hardware is not as good as competitors.
Java and C++ aren't going anywhere.
It's not robust to any point mutation, only some, but I would still say this is a fair point
The reason why everyone is upset is because Apollo works perfectly for the Reddit use case while the official client does not. Sure it is technically superior, but it is "better" from a product management perspective.

Reddit, Tumblr, TikTok, Instagram, etc, all attract a similar type of user but they are different products that engage people in different types of social interactions.

You can't port that.
But, at least for SQLite, the parser is autogenerated from a plain grammar.
This has been discussed to death in the last couple of days, and I don't see any new information in this article.

It's been a long time since I've known someone involved with admissions at a top school. But my understanding was that not only were quantitative academic scores only part of the process, but by aand large they didn't really use SATs to fine tune admission decisions at the very top of the scale. They used SATs to set an academic floor and, while higher was better, that was only one of the factors in play at that point.
Interestingly, the largest abandoned factory in the world, the Packard Auto Plant in Detroit, was opened in 1903 and shut down in 1958, long before Detroit's fortunes actually turned. And the factory was in use for five and a half decades, hardly a failure.
Debt holders > Shareholders
Unfortunately the number of people who would pay for both an Apollo subscription AND their own Reddit use AND would be willing to obtain and enter an API key is effectively zero.
I'm curious, where does the benzene come from? Isn't hand sanitizer just ethanol with scents added, and maybe a gelling agent?
I was pretty skeptical that I'd get any traction, but I ended up connecting with a co-founder of Flat (flat.app), and within a few weeks I was on the team!

I am really grateful that I ended up giving it a shot as it's been a great experience so far - I have sharp coworkers who are eager to share their knowledge and generous with their time, I get exposure to all aspects of the product, and the impact of my work is visible and immediate. Best of all, we use our product to make our product, so I get to directly enjoy the fruits of my labour :)
ORMs (especially the Django ORM) fulfill 95% of my needs. For the 5%, I use raw SQL via the ORM's escape hatch (which Django and SQLAlchemy provides).

To be fair, my needs aren't that complex, I do mostly CRUD on database tables, most of the business logic is handled in my code, eventually wrapped in a `@transaction.atomic` (thank you Django).

If I need stored procedures, I'll add a Django migration which creates the said procedure with raw SQL.

If I need to manage the schema myself, I'll also make a Django migration with raw SQL, then I'll create Django unmanaged models.

For the portability across RDBMS, it's nice to have an SQLite database in the dev environment, so that the developer does not need to run a PostgreSQL instance (in docker or whatever). And for the test suite, I even use an in-memory SQLite database.

I do put my ORM queries in a specific module which provides a higher level API, I will have functions like `get_users_sent_invites` or `publish_article` etc... so that the rest of my code never sees database code. A function `get_user_by_id` will return the User model or None, and handle the ORM's potential exceptions to return meaningful errors to the business logic.

It also makes database access easier to test and benchmark. You might call this DAO or not, terms are irrelevant, it's just good practice to separate concerns IMHO.
That's part of our struggle. We had an unexpected gift of $1,000 as an anniversary present from her parents. We have free childcare available anytime we want it. We had the entire summer of 2021 to find and go do something together that we could both enjoy. We didn't come up with anything.

We're compatible roommates, but we have very different languages of play. I like to explore, she prefers to stay home - if you gave her a choice of 'the same thing we did that you enjoy' or 'the new thing that you might not enjoy or is mildly inconvenient' - she'll choose 'the same thing' every time.

We've had kid-free Friday nights for years, we've only went for a 1 mile walk around the neighbourhood less than 5 times, never left our small town to go to something. Most date nights are spent sitting on the couch and failing at choosing a movie or show we'll both enjoy.

She did say I could pickout the movie once, no complaints. So I chose Airplane. She said, oh, I don't want to watch that - which then kills any Airplane related jokes you could ever make. Pinocchio was also rejected as being too weird. She'll watch entire seasons of TV shows, on her phone with headphones in, as she does work around the house. She made a reference once that a song sounded like the theme to XXXX show. She'd watched all 5 seasons and I'd never even heard of the name of it.

So, ya. Find things to do together has been well explored.
Though C# also recommends the Rune APIs for more modern/better code point handling. The Rune APIs have a bit more in common with Python 3's unicode treatment than the classic (and sometimes wrong) UTF-16 approach.

As long as that keeps printing money they don't really care about employees, products, development, customers or rivals.
I stayed in Tacoma once when every single hotel/motel room in Seattle was taken. Just thought I'd mention it as this sub-thread makes no sense anyways.
Since, as you said in a sister reply, even one analog computer might be slightly different from another analog computer, and thus unable to emulate it, if you had the outputs of two different computers, one analog and one digital one simulating it to a high precision (higher than the noise of the analog one) how could you distinguish which was digital and which was analog?

If you can't, then this is a meaningless semantic discussion. The digital computer can emulate the analog one as well as any other analog computer can.
The functionality of subjective experience. Some higher animals don't pass the mirror test, but have consciousness.
What I want: PRQL (which they do eventually mention at the very bottom) + a database that supports something like protobuf defined tables.

I'm half convinced that after my current gig I'll do a startup based on that idea. I just want it to exist!
Pangenome graphs illuminate unusual recombination in human genomes
Pangenome graphs are data structures that describe many-to-many sequence homology (and variation) relationships between genomes. They have been hyped a lot, but this is one of the first instances of a new biological finding coming out of them. They were used to explain the most common kind of chromosomal abnormality seen in humans. The finding also suggests that recombination is not as straightforward as has generally been believed in genetics.

Another view: https://www.stowers.org/news/investigating-human-genomes-pro...
This does not "disable" Intel ME. The ME is instrumental to the boot process and it is impossible to boot a modern Intel x86 system without it. It's quite tiring seeing x86 vendors continuing to misrepresent this.

See comment by bri3d below for details. It appears they're just sending a command to the ME politely asking it to stop doing things, maybe. Of course, this happens long after the ME has already done a great deal of work bringing up the system.

Of the three options for ME scope reduction, none are good and none actually "disable" the ME, but it seems like they've chosen the least effective/audited option of the three. I should add that if you don't trust the ME not to be owned, there's not really any reason to trust that it will honour a polite request to stop doing anything sent to it, and you can't trust it not to have compromised the boot process anyway, making this rather pointless.
There are at least two classes of Netflix common stock with different voting rights. The reason why this resolution is non binding is likely because a majority of shares voted in favor but those shares had negligible voting power.

Other companies such as Google, Meta and Berkshire Hathaway have similar arrangements.
Sure, but what’s the alternative? Shutting it down? Like that won’t make people angry too…
> If you have to seriously worry about bugs becoming public you fucked up big time

So? Yes, you fucked up big time and you don't want the public to know. That's PR 101.

> Trying to hide the issues rather than prevent or fix them won't save them.

Where did you get it that they are not trying to prevent the issues?
