A few years back Richard Hammond (the short former Top Gear UK) presenter did an experiment with this on another British show of his called Braniac (a sort of light entertainment popular science show) where he filled a caravan with petrol and fumes and attempted to get it to ignite through static electricity (they did lots of different ways of generating it).

They couldn't do it and even when for the laughs they decided to blow it up with a match it still didn't ignite.
“While it might be technically possible for us to support users providing their own Reddit API key, this would not be in good faith on our part. It’s clear that Reddit CEO Steve Huffman wants apps like NetNewsWire to either stop using their API or pay for the privilege. Which is his right, of course, even though it hurts Reddit users.”
I advise 402 Payment Required \n Location: mailto:payment-offers@yourdomain. It’s still 4xx so they’ll probably know not to hit it repeatedly, and if they reach out to negotiate payment, you have a choice whether to accept or not.
This is referred to in the finance industry as 'picking up nickels in front of a steamroller'. It generally works out great for everyone until someone gets pulled under the steamroller, which can lead to an insolvency cascade.

Yeah my old One Plus phone I could block mobile and wifi data from any app of the phone. I don't know if Google is to blame here for this going away.
Typical fruits people eat are probably the ones that were the easiest to domesticate and have the most sugar, not necessarily representative of more variety in nutrition. And what you might consider a variety of vegetables is in fact just the same couple species but different cultivars. And modern people certainly eat more meat but for the most part have totally abandoned eating organs and other tissue. Probably not as much difference in chicken breast vs turkey breast as chicken breast vs chicken gizzards. I ate mutton and liver as a kid, I've known other people that ate chicken feet as kids. So in some ways you don't even see the variety today you did a generation ago, but things like avocados are more common I guess.
The other answers here are great, and the question that helped me make sense of this was: if I am my thoughts and feelings, then who/what is aware of those thoughts and feelings?

But what started to really open this up for me was beginning a morning mindfulness practice for a few minutes/day. This practice trains you to pay close attention to sensations in the body, and eventually to thoughts and feelings, and by paying this close attention, you start to directly experience your thoughts as thoughts, instead of your thoughts as you. Guided meditations that point this out can be really helpful (I used the "Waking Up" app, but there are many resources).

Over time and with practice (~10 minutes/day is where I started, and I spend 20 minutes now), my perspective has shifted from being my thoughts, to being the space in which thoughts occur. Gaining this space is extremely helpful if you have the type of brain that generates a lot of negative thoughts, as mine tends to do.

It also helps you see and short-circuit certain negative thought patterns as they happen. This has been a fundamental ingredient in accomplishing real habit change.

I think some people are more naturally aware of this insight than others, but for me it was a gigantic and helpful perspective shift.
So things depend on the state, but IIRC some states have been way more brazen about others.

For example, at one point a proposal was floated to force changes in Texas polling center distribution, but only in counties with over a million people, which was pretty nakedly partisan. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/05/23/texas-voting-polling...
This is one of many reasons we need an FDA for major software suppliers. The idea that a bug can be pushed to billions of devices with essentially no preventative oversight is bonkers to me. The only check (other than internal controls which may or may not work in a move fast and break things environment) is litigation years after the fact which may not be a deterrent anyways.

Imagine if pharmaceuticals worked the same way. Instead of requiring medical studies on small groups, any drug could just be released on the public. Who cares if it causes birth defects. Move fast and break things! Buyer beware. Once in a while you’d get a check for $20 in the mail after you find out you have some horrible incurable neurodegenerative disease.

This is quickly moving from annoyance to public nuisance to public safety emergency. Self-driving vehicle companies can push updates over the air that not only brick the vehicles, but endanger 3rd parties who never signed 95 page Terms and Conditions contracts. Obviously not all software needs to be subject to this regulation but some of it does.
> But that's bad news. Schools ought to avoid trapping themselves and their students into closed solutions, and teach use open source products instead, like penpot.

It depends. For low-income and underprivileged high school students, learning open source graphics and design tools often works against them, since job listings and internships rarely call for skills in GIMP or Penpot. Most community colleges teach design software that's widely used in business, which isn't open source.

Support is a huge issue as well. Unless students are part of a community that's self-suporting (or have parents who work in IT, web development, etc.), getting help with open source software isn't as accessible as it is for commercial software.

Meanwhile, virtually every library has books on Photoshop, Figma, etc.

Yes, the skills are generally transferable but that's not always readily apparent.
Yes, most scientific lab tools have some way of communicating with third-party tools. We tend to shun tools that do not, although some vendors are perplexed and/or annoyed by this. No one vendor carries everything you need.

There have been several generations of scientific instrumentation standards used for connecting products from various companies together.

Some take the form of Crates, which can contain individual modules that you plug into the crates. For example,

*NIM* - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Instrumentation_Module> - Started in the 1960s, but there is a ton of these modules still in use. Lots pictures of NIM electronics can be found by doing a Google Image search for *nim electronics*.

*CAMAC* -<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Automated_Measurement_and_Control> - Started in the 1970s, but is mostly obsolete and removed now. It was the first bus standard to provide for computer control of instrumentation, mostly by PDP-11s and then later VAXes. It could send you 24-bit data words at the blindingly fast speed of 1 MHz. Some pictures of them can be found by a Google Image search for "*camac electronics*.

*VME* - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMEbus> - Originally created in the 1980s as a computer bus for m68k computers. But it found a new, far faster life as a scientific instrumentation standard. A number of bus standards like VXI have attempted to claim the throne of VME, but VME is still widely in use. Some pictures of this can be found by a Google Search for "vme beamline electronics*.

The other major form factor is cables

*RS232-RS485-etc* - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-232> - An ancient standard started in 1960, but still widely in use.

*GPIB or IEEE488* - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE-488> - Originally created by Hewlett Packard, but still widely in use. Seems to be on the decline these days.

*USB* - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB> - The new contender for the throne. Its use is growing by leaps and bounds with each passing year. Bear in mind that one of the largest uses here of USB is for USB-to-Serial dongles that let us plug in the RS232 and RS485 stuff we are still using.

*Ethernet* - <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet> - Using mostly TCP and UDP, but not always. This is the other contender for the throne.

*Short-lived standards* - There were a variety of other standards that had short periods on the stage, like parallel ports, Firewire, SCSI, proprietary bare ribbon cables, etc. Most of this has gone away, except for the proprietary ribbon cables *(sigh)*.

I do most of my work these days for two organizations, namely MRCAT <http://mrcat.iit.edu/> and BioCAT <https://www.bio.aps.anl.gov/> which both make use of X-ray beams at the Advanced Photon Source <https://www.aps.anl.gov/About/Overview>. The APS is a 1.1 kilometer electron storage ring, which produces high intensity X-ray beams at 70 sectors around the ring. My employers use 3 beamlines at 2 of those sectors for materials research and for biophysics.

You can find a lot of beamline pictures by doing a Google search for advanced photon source beamlines.
That still implies 20% of their training is moderate-high intensity.

You end up doing both.
That's a nice long reply - I'll try and keep my response a bit shorter.

You (and many many of the replies in thread) have taken the initial topic (kiosk escape -vs- parental controls) and are defending their definition as a serious security threat by likening them to social engineering attacks on medical staff. These are separate scenarios with separate threat models. If your child is sending confidential corporate data to malicious third parties through the Android settings app you may have a separate set of problems beyond software controls.

Overall, much of the finer details of yours & others' replies amount to an extreme level of theoretical pedantry around technical classification of threats, completely removed from any kind of real-world analysis of their severity.
> It's wild that incentives exist to make vacancy profitable.

As usual with financial instruments, it's probably the result of a model being applied and the limits of the model institute some perverse incentive that is not rational.

In this case seems that the convoluted way of tying up property value to last rental price, and using that proxy to extend margin for loans is where this model breaks down.

Usually. You can check by putting your phone in and closing the door while looking at the signal strength meter. It should go without saying don’t turn the microwave oven on with your expensive electronics inside. If you get decent reception in the closed oven, you need a new one.

sokoloff, on the point about the second negotiation on the inspection. The industry has this backwards. We recommend the per-purchase inspection for several reasons. 1. It takes the liability away from the seller stating what the condition is and moves it to the inspector. 2. by sharing it with the buyer before they make an offer you save them a bit of money, earn some trust as showing transparency, and 3. eliminating the stress of the second negotiation 10 days before closing and no one is available to fix a problem. You are making your home easier to buy. The easier you make it for the buyer, the faster you will sell and the better your price will be. Most buyers want a home in great condition.

The fuel air density has to be a certain ratio. This is why you have complicated systems to inject just the right amount of air and gasoline into the pistons. I would guess that since it is much harder to combust liquid gasoline is would be much harder to combust a very heavy gas/air combo.

Probably best to not use entertainment shows as a metric for safety.
My mother was a teacher before she retired to a different state than she'd worked in. She now has to file income taxes in the state she receives the pension from and the state she currently lives in each year.
Agreed. And in this case, the rubber failure is almost entirely aesthetic: it does keep the screen away from the lower chassis/keyboard when closed, but you don't need _all_ of it to do that.

In my case, there are a few spots where the rubber's shape is no longer smooth: small bits have worn away and/or broken off. There's a few small bits on the top, and the lower right-hand side feels quite rough.

But it won't stop me continuing to use this laptop as my main personal machine for a little while longer (until OCLP can't get me security patches any longer).

Before people get too ahead of themselves - the CAR-T (Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell) technology used here is super hot right now and works by reprogramming the immune cells (via genetically engineering a new recognition domain into them) so that they recognize and kill cancer cells. All great, the problem is that most cancers don't have a single "hey look im cancer" biomarker - except blood cancers. This therapy works because the cancer they're targeting is immune cell cancer and immune cells DO have very specific receptors on their surface that allow this therapy to be extremely targeted (and extremely effective).

Not to discount the work which is amazing and is surely great news for sufferers of myeloma, but when you see mention of technology like this don't get TOO excited that we're on the cusp of a cure for cancer UNTIL you see it happening in various solid tumors.
Agree with the vast majority of your comment.

Presenting at the checkpoint with no ID is absolutely possible although I’m sure it depends on one’s ability to comply. When I have tried this, I was told to wait a moment for a supervisor, who asked me a few basic questions (name, ssn, address), disappeared into a room for a moment, and re-emerged with a bunch more very detailed questions (who was in your business meeting today and what was the address, who was your last employer, what’s the last home address you filed taxes from before your current one).

I estimate the process added ten minutes to my journey. In fact it happened so quickly that I was left with the impression that this is a high-frequency event at any major US airport.
Steve stated a week or so in an internal correspondence that they weren’t worried as the strike hadn’t affected advertising dollars. This clearly shows advertisers have been affected.

To what extent remains to be seen.
I think we need more go/rust HTTP wrappers around SQLite

Will keep an eye on this one, could definitely see myself using it once the access control stuff is sorted

we sorely need a go/rust postGREST equiv. for SQLite.

Until then, pocketbase, while perhaps heavyweight, might be the best option

It’s an important day for them, so you owe them your full attention. Can’t be browsing the web or replying to emails.

After a decade of interviewing, there is no excitement in watching the thousandth interviewee make the thousandth attempt to count the set bits in an integer.

You answered your own question. This is an issue with the app creator not supporting multiple providers, not with OIDC.
Well I didn't know it was called that at the time. If I recall, a book, perhaps Alice in Quantumland, or some other similar book named the idea for me eventually. I also didn't know how what oxygen was called, once upon a time, and somehow managed to breathe.

Anyway, I feel grateful to my parents that they managed to feed imagination without deceit, and I also appreciated that gifts came from my parents, some requested, some unbidden and all with love.
There are many paths to these insights, and I personally used the "Waking Up" app by Sam Harris. I gravitated to this because I was pretty allergic to anything that looked too spiritual or mystical (due to my own pretty negative religious history).

I haven't personally listened to Osho, but if other readers find that the content doesn't resonate, there may be a different packaging that does. I personally needed something strictly secular, and I don't know if that's a factor with his content.

This sounds extreme, but someone is destroying the health of and potentially killing thousands of people to safe a small amount of money. It's hard to think of a worse crime. I wonder if this is similar to the old adage that one death is a tragedy and a thousand are a statistic. If someone violently kills a single person and we learn all the details, in some places they'll face capital punishment. You low-key poison thousands of people and jail is suddenly controversial.
It depends on context. There are many pieces here:

1) Cost of compromise.

- For example, medical data, military secrets, and highly-personal data need a high level of security.

- Something like Sudoku high scores, perhaps not so much.

2) Benefit of compromise. Some compromises net $0, and some $1M.

- Something used by 4B users (like Google) has much higher potential upside than something used by 1 user. If someone can scam-at-scale, that's a lot of money.

- Something managing $4B of bitcoin or with designs for the F35 has much higher upside than something with Sudoku high scores.

3) Exposure.

- A script I wrote which I run on my local computer doesn't need any security. It's like my bedroom door.

- A one-off home, school, or business-internal system is only exposed to those communities, and doesn't need to be excessively hardened. It's more-or-less the same as physical security.

- Something on the public internet needs a lot more.

This, again, speaks to number of potential attackers (0, dozens/hundreds, or 7B).

#1 and #2 are obvious. #3 is the one where I see people screw up with arguments. Threats which seem absurdly unlikely are exploited all the time on the public internet, and intuition from the real world doesn't translate at all.
This seems like a step backwards to me. If AI will make like every job obsolete then we will have to add more fake jobs like this instead of remove them. The purpose of these jobs will be to filter which people are deserving of health care and other nice things compared to the ones who aren't willing to do the fake jobs and navigate bureaucracies whose only purpose will become to filter out ones who aren't willing to persevere through them. It's how we can allocate resources in the future when capitalism is only for business-to-business purposes between AI-run corporations and everything for humans becomes similar to how 'medical devices' are currently priced and allocated, including housing, food, clothing, etc.
Theresa May tried to sell this as part of her election campaign. It was a disaster. No one wants to be forced to give up some of their personal wealth to pay more for an NHS they've already paid into.

That may not be fair, but when most voters are property owners you're not going to get a different outcome.

This is an interesting topic because it highlights how the political and economic culture is broken and incapable of effective national strategy. I don't think housing, health, industrial policy, education, or anything else can be fixed without a complete overhaul of the UK's political parties, media, and systems.
The value in RHEL is not just in the ability to call Red Hat for support. I submit that much more of the value of RHEL is in the packaging and maintenance processes. Selecting software, making sure it's enterprise ready, patching it, backporting fixes, QA and regression testing, etc. From my view inside the machine, Red Hat is still committed to an opensource development model, and I don't see that changing any time soon. The thing Red Hat is trying to do is find the balancing point between capturing, and giving away value, as Scott McCarty explains in this post: https://opensource.com/article/21/2/differentiating-products...

Since before I became a Red Hatter, I have used CentOS for my personal servers and projects. I have struggled with CentOS Stream for that application, for example packaged kernel drivers from ELRepo. I can understand why many are upset about this. As a casual user, I am not upset, because I still have lots of options (RHEL Dev sub, Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, etc.) If I had given a lot of time and effort that benefited the EL community, and in turn, Red Hat. I would probably be more upset.

I find myself torn on this issue. On one hand, I really want there to be a vibrant Enterprise Linux community where nobody has doubts or trust issues in participating. On the other hand, I also want Red Hat to continue to have a viable business model around RHEL so that the community continues to be able to benefit from all of the expertise that it gets from all of the people who get to make it their main focus because they can rely on a steady paycheck by doing so.

I think that when Red Hat was growing fast, it was easy for them to have a laissez-faire approach to downstream rebuilds. Now that the business is contracting, people have had to start making hard decisions. There's no more difficult decision to make, than to lay off people. I would not want to have a leadership role at Red Hat right now. I don't expect it's much fun.

I really worry about the impact that this has on goodwill. I think most people at Red Hat are also concerned about this. The ecosystem around RHEL will not be the same. EPEL, ELRepo, and all of the other communities that have flourished around the downstream builds are going to be impacted. Trust, when broken, is very hard to rebuild. Jeff's comments ("fool me once...") underscore the rift that is driving away good people. I worry about the long-term effects of this. I hope that this will not "kill Enterprise Linux" as many have suggested. I do believe, though, that it has been wounded.

Disclosure: I am currently employed by Red Hat.
They did quite well for 3G and even 4G which didn't have as many above 2.4GHz , but after 4GLTE, 5G has added a lot of mid-bands between 2.6-6GHz. Those tend to leak more since they have shorter wavelengths than microwaves are built around 2.4GHz. Some of them are only used in a few countries, but n2 & n77 are widely used by ATT.

1/4” is a much better “master” of capturing higher fidelity than my method, a compact cassette using two different cassette tape decks. I remember when I swapped it out and got a dual Pioneer compact cassette deck, which could also be controlled by a remote control. It was fantastic, until the home Compact Disc recorder drive came on to the scene. Alas, compact cassettes are not as effective to splice, and I miss the 90’s.
