I think real risk is testing these chimera viruses on mice with humanized cells.

Letting viruses evolve in-vivo is the problem especially when they are so viral.

There needs to be limitations on what R is allowed to be produced in-vivo, even more so because calculating the risk of virality of the outbreak is trivial if in-vitro studies are done.

> apps are roughly the opposite of that

Although I broadly agree with this assessment, I'd just like to add a slight nuance that, at least in my view, it's specifically _app store apps_ that are roughly the opposite. You can still, for example, install random APKs (on Android, I doubt Apple has anything similar) if you're so inclined, so they can be as user-centric as you want. It's just that the major manufacturers optimize for the roughly-anti-user-centric flow.
r/ExperiencedDevs is such a weird place to me. It’s like the secondary school for r/CSCareerQuestions. It has builtin gatekeeping due to their goal of being for “experienced devs”. I’m also not surprised they aren’t participating.
The key point in that is that many IPO buyers are willing to believe in imaginary revenue that will never be extracted. Extracting revenue as a goal in and of itself uses a different playbook than IPOing.

A good compromise is to educate users on how to add a shortcut to their homescreen. I don't think people (including product people) know about this feature, and mobile browsers bury it. The pareto principle applies: 80% of stickiness is that icon, which you can get for 20% of the effort of an app.
Surprised it doesn't mention compliance frameworks as a culprit. NIST 800-88 calls for destruction if the data is highly sensitive and the drive is leaving the organization. Wrt risk management, it's not worth deviating from NIST.

Phase one will be artsy QR codes with a written caption: “Hey, this is actually a QR code! Scan it!” Phase two, is removing the caption because people are so accustomed to them.

I've seen several posts here in the last month about proprietary software being used to basically exploit the users: steeply increase fees, hold files ransom (upgrade for money or loose access to files), spying on users.

My conclusion is very different from yours: GNU Foundation and FSF are very relevant!

They seem to lack in the PR dept, which makes them look (by simply looking at the website) outdated and hence "possibly irrelevant". Looks can be deceiving though.

It was 1994. There weren't that many jobs for UNIX-oriented C/C++ developers, working on large scale problems for the internet.

In 1994, MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 were the most popular desktop operating systems. Most internet access was dial-up. Windows 95 was yet to be released. Steve Jobs was working on NeXT and wouldn't return to Apple for another 3 years. The GNOME project didn't even start until 1997, which is 3 years later. Python 2.0 wouldn't be released for 6 years, in 2000. Heck, Netscape Navigator's first version wasn't even out yet (not for a few months) -- there were no distinctly popular browsers other than, perhaps, Mosaic, released only a year earlier.

No one was building web apps yet; pg started Viaweb in 1995, one year later. Internet commerce was not at all an obvious idea. Very few people were working on "internet companies", and very few people yet were working primarily on UNIX (outside of open source hobbyists). This job posting was appealing to UNIX enthusiasts and academic computer scientists who were hoping to turn their hobbies into a lucrative day job, in a world where 90%+ of "computer jobs" were rudimentary IT schlep.

The entire culture you describe in your comment -- of companies needing to distinguish themselves via strong benefits and mission alignment -- wouldn't grow up for a few years. This wasn't a job posting among a sea of web startup job postings; this was, instead, one of the earliest web startup job postings in a sea of enterprise IT management and DOS/Windows desktop software development postings.

The "competition" for these developers was startup versions of companies like Redhat and Netscape (maybe), of which there were only a handful of comparables. A good documentary you can watch to put yourself more into the mindset of this period of developer history is "Revolution OS" (2001): https://watch.amazon.com/detail?gti=amzn1.dv.gti.cf101954-e0...

Every Signature Is Broken: Insecurity of Microsoft Office’s Ooxml Signatures
This is most evident when it comes to English speaking nations that have separate internal cultures but also have an integrated American diaspora. India, Ireland, South Africa, and Philipines are some examples.

The diaspora is loud, but views their country from an entirely American perspective. At the same time, Americans uphold the diaspora as defacto representation for the natives.

Because English is an official language in these parts, the national news of these places gets cannibalized by American opinion and Americans look out for blind spots like would when talking about places that don't speak English at all.
No it's a scenario, as far as I'm aware anyway.

Ignoring the specific example used to make my point, my point was how do you avoid the problem? If PopularInstanceA decides to cut off PopularInstanceB for "reasons" you have fragmented a community with users on both instances going to be unhappy... yes they could all move and suddenly MarginalnstanceC becomes PopularInstanceC as it federates both A and B but users will get lost along the way, most will only tolerate this kind of instance changing crap once and even then how do you stop A cutting off C because they are federating B?

Yes I agree it's all just hypothetical but we're relying on the goodwill of probably unpaid enthusiast server owners to keep the Fediverse stable and that feels like a house of cards to me

Because current production methods generally either sacrifice quality or quantity due to the need for a plant host when mass producing mycorrhizal fungi. So there's many production methods. You can grow en masse with e.g. something like sorghum grass roots, but these mycorrhizal products have a greater likelihood of contamination and also most likely lesser quality (less infectious propagules and just generally contain filler). Then you've got mycorhhizal products made more cleanly typically using something like a genetically modified hairy carrot root such that the carrot root doesn't have a stem or leaves and is only the root system. This production method still has complications in that you are still growing 2 organisms (the fungi and the carrot root), but is an easier production system overall. Still, this method also has downfalls in that it can only be used to culture certain species of mycorrhizal fungi and frankly it's still expensive and tedious.

That being said, I am working on a new production method that grows the fungi only (axenically) and hope to be mass producing within a couple years. Benefit of this new method is it's simpler and cheaper (only 1 organism growing), there's very minimal likelyhood of contamination and there's no use of any genetically modified organisms in the production process (this may only matter for e.g. organic farmers, etc.).

So that's all to say that cheaper mycorrhizal products are coming down the line and will be in the market soon. Price is definitely one of the things that's been holding the mycorrhizal market back for sure. That being said, there's so much potential it's wild. E.g. you can breed mycorrhizal fungi (they're very genetically diverse so really amazing opportunity for a breeding program) and that's where we're going.
It's definitely against the grain but also not really a lot of work. The currying function is ~3-4 lines. The macros are 5-10 lines each. As for examples of such things being used "in the wild", many use Witchcraft library which strives to give a Haskell-like experience to Elixir.

Yep, I have no dogs here either :^)

Indeed, I can see this from their emphasis on generic SIMD, which looks pretty nice. It is nice that there is now a language with first-class SIMD support, comparing with something implemented with a library or autovectorization which may not work.

> "Faster than C" is a lot more plausible for Mojo than the claim of running arbitrary Python code eventually ;)

Seems so. I don't recall reading the claim about running arbitrary Python code, and I think requiring rewriting Python code is reasonable as normal Python code may utilize runtime reflection/dynamic type and they are hard to implement efficiently, and probably require a GC for memory management.
It might have some things to say about agile development, too - and why big-A Agile doesn't look like the "agile" described in the Agile Manifesto.
Also, redacting text by blurring doesn't work well. If it's a screenshot (i.e. an exact representation, not something like a photo), you can usually try various combinations of characters and see what creates the same blurring pattern.

If you know (or correctly guess) the exact parameters of the blur, this works far beyond what most people would consider recoverable by looking at it.

Vietnamese here. Crypto best use case here is usually fast and small international transaction (beside speculation etc.)

For daily commerce, we have instant, free, cross-bank transfer. All popular banks provide e-banking apps with fast transaction to all the other popular banks. Polymer money are still used for very small amount (and oddly, buying gasoline), but I have been going 90% cashless for a year.

All Blockchain related stuffs are still more or less unsupported by law, not recognizable as assets. So if you get crypto-scammed in Vietnam, which happens a lot, you are more or less fucked

Now why don't these companies keep the drives in-house instead of destroying? That, I don't know.

But aside that, regarding the encryption... If you used the drive without encryption at any time, then its possible to recover the unencrypted data. You'd need to guarantee that your drives were *always* used with encryption from the start to end. And that's a hard guarantee.

So yeah, if they were leaving the org, I'd destroy them too.
But you can't see from the outside if the drive was wiped. How can I be sure that I do not mix up the to-be-wiped and the wiped drives with 99.999% accuracy? That I did not unplug the drive before the whipping was finished? It's much easier with physical destruction.

Please, feel free to refute any points with proof. On top of the tons of video and personal evidence we have confirming them, pretty much all of them have been admitted by Russian officials directly - they have admitted to the kidnapping and resettling of children, the intentional bombing of civilian infrastructure, destroying the dam, etc.

Of course considering the comical levels of evilness Russia has displayed in this war, things could easily slip through because they're believable. I'm not fully convinced on Nordstream either way, but there's undeniable proof for lots of other atrocities (like the dam) which is more than enough.
For that to work you have to trust the firmware. Overwriting with something random, saving what was fed and then cross-referencing that against the storage could work better, but there's still some non-zero chance that something you're looking for is in a buffer, unreachable part of the disk or the like.

Encrypting the hard drive and then removing the key has a better chance of rendering the data unusable.
