First of all, many of us don't. I will say I don't know those "brands". Are they both fairly major universities? The US has lots of universities, and I think there's less "lower tier" ones in Europe. In fact, I had family move to the US for it.

These less prestigious schools, lower than state universities, which are often quite prestigious, have drastically lower entry standards. You quickly go from "needs a solid resume, with good academics, and participation in extracurriculars", to "accepts anyone".

Just because a University accepts everyone, doesn't mean it's "bad". I went to a good university with loose entry; they'd let anyone flunk out after the first year. That said, we look heavily at "pedigree" in the US. You need top academics to get into university, and usually have to be somewhat talented to meritfully advance (and we know who succeeded by merits). With pedigree you look at someone's full lineage and accomplishments. In theory you should look at what someone did in university and all these impressive sounding companies, but too often they just look at the letterhead!

I'm astonished by how reliably the "elite" are able to hold their position. In some cases, it doesn't even seem to make sense. For example there was this really insecure, power hungry kid for a Uni group, that wound up getting a pretty high position, quickly. He really clearly succeeded because of these insecurities, only to find that he was very wealthy.

I've become increasingly aware how people at higher levels in software have money, and seem to rise to the level of their wealth. Even I do pretty well, and I'm the grandson of an accomplished chemical engineer. Yet so, many of my managers are just a couple rungs above me, proportional to their wealth.

I've digressed, but I'd argue that in a country like the US, selecting based on pedigree, is not necessarily a bad decision. It's just shitty, discriminatory, even racist perhaps. Still, hiring the "elite" from society probably "works".
It feels weird that a reputed publication like BBC chose to focus on climate change when focusing on ocean temperatures but completely ignored the effect of S02 regulation[1] of 2020. This[2] is from three months ago when the ocean temperatures were warmer than normal. From what I gather, that trend has continued and accelerated.

[1]: SO2 content in fuels was mandated to be no more than 0.5% instead of existing 3.5% in 2020(#IMO2020) citing pollution. SO2 absorbs heat in the atmosphere. This combined with end of a rare triple dip La Nina[3] (responsible for colder temps in last three years) were responsible for a sudden spike in April.

I don’t really see the point of applying rigorous ontology to a blog post.

Adding dead clicks to a feature you don’t want people to use is a dark pattern whether it affects you personally or not. Normally one tries to remove dead clicks in good UX design, e.g.: https://userpilot.com/blog/dead-click/

Some real fraction of users really will stop using a feature if you add a single additional click between it and them.
No, it actually is not. It really isn't. If you aim for either Margot Robbie or Ryan Gossling you are making it harder yourself.

Most Incels so maybe celibate, but it is, considering how they see and treat women to how they see the world and society, totally voluntarily and self inflicted.

Also, whining about how hard your life is, how you are not able to achieve your goals because of things outside of your control is a huge turn off, regardless of how your face or body looks like.
I can't imagine that root is any faster. It's just a lot easier to run things as root vs splitting out separate processes with their own isolation mechanisms.

That the service runs as root isn't really the issue here. None of the attack relies on the abuse of some root capabilities, it's an authentication issue that abuses how the service works. Even if it were unprivileged somehow, this would still be the same impact.
As of this week it's 39 confirmed and 312 under investigation. The "under investigation" ones always turn out heat-caused or -related, because that's how summer goes in Phoenix. The number of confirmed heat-caused deaths in Phoenix doubled in the three years to 2022 and quadrupled in the 10 years to 2022. A cause of death doesn't have to double very many times before it becomes a leading cause. The crude deaths among 4.5 million people would be expected to be about 37000 people per year, so over 400 heat-caused deaths is already substantial. If it increases by only 20% it will be a top-10 cause of death.
> But there’s another threat to libraries looming that I haven’t seen anyone else talking about: capitalist enshittification.
Not a materials scientist, but I imagine it will make fabrication at scale a bit more tricky.
Of course the trouble is those same people have been capturing enough value out of the destructive process that they will surely go last. I suspect this is no small part of the reason we're in the fix we're in.
CVSS is a poor metric because (by its own definition / admission) its got a very narrow intent: it doesn't really deal with exploitability in any meaningful way (like e.g. the shell access required here). There is a lot of ongoing discourse on its limitations, but its all in relatively early stages & imo its better to have something than nothing (especially when the maintainers of that "something" are aware of its limitations & actively working on better processes).

If you have 10 security bugs, 3 are genuinely high severity and 9 get assigned high severity by NVD, then at least you've managed to deprioritise one of them. It's something (unironiccally).

This is a pretty decent overview https://www.first.org/epss/model
Desktop Mode on the Steam Deck is like a DVD playback on PS2 for me; an excuse to buy a portable gaming console. Pretty good one. You can actually do grown up things on it.
I'd expect that any kind of logistics would need tight bounds on min-max 'performance', and not be up to the whims of artificial stupidity. Am I wrong?
First science knows lack of blood flow to the brain results in loss of consciousness and it also knows blood flow stops at death. That’s enough to reach a well supported conclusion.

Our level of understanding of neuroscience is irrelevant, but also far more detailed than you just described. The brains chemistry for example is a huge area of study with a lot of useful information. We also know many functional details such as how vision works down to enough detail for people to have come up with new classes of optical illusions. etc etc

But again neuroscience is overkill, science made the blood flow consciousness connection hundreds of years ago.
The fact that the answerer quotes John McIlhenny, noted Christian abstinence-only prominent, tells me more about that answerer than the questioner.

In my experience, the real answer is that The Pill means that women have more choice now and don't have to cleave themselves to the first man who colonizes them, and now that it's baked into society, women aren't going to put up with men who can't provide the social interaction reward that all people want. In my parents day, you just had to tough it out because you had kids (and you were probably terrible at it, lookin'at you mom and dad) but these days people can grow into finctional adults first, which might not happen until their late 30's.
For a second I thought this might be about the theft and recovery of one or more of Munch's "The Scream" paintings. I would argue they are at least more generally well known than the Wilhelm and Howie screams. Then I realised there was no "The" in the title.
t's a limitation imposed by the ping programme itself, it'll refuse to use very short intervals if you're not root. This is documented in the man page. Or, use the source, Luke:

https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/network_cmds/blob...

case 'i': /* wait between sending packets */
t = strtod(optarg, &ep) * 1000.0;
if (*ep || ep == optarg || t > (double)INT_MAX)
errx(EX_USAGE, "invalid timing interval: `%s'",
optarg);
options |= F_INTERVAL;
interval = (int)t;
if (uid && interval < 100) {
errno = EPERM;
err(EX_NOPERM, "-i interval too short");
}
break;

And if you keep looking, Apple's version of ping keeps track of the number of sent and received probes, but does not keep track of the largest difference between the sequence nubmer of sent and received probes, so it will not print the same "pipe" value as the iputils version of ping (ie. the version you typically get in Linux).
The list is sensationalized for attention.

Why is disposable razor on the list but not electricity, computing, refrigeration, metallurgy, microscopy, or eye glasses?
There will be plenty of pro-climate action too. When people start dying in their millions from undeniable climate change then there are going to be a lot of angry people with nothing left to lose.
I can't wait to read the history of this material. 24 years... I can only imagine the conversations and drama surrounding it.
It doesn't matter if its overdrive's fault or not. If we don't like the direction of travel as a society, we need to find ways of countering this tendency. It isn't about labelling certain companies as evil, its about appropriately regulating companies in general.

Oh I think the role of the 'jester' is super-important; humor (and music!) is an incredible carrier medium for cultural commentary. And I hate tone policing.

I just think Cory Doctorow should grow the hell up. I've been reading his stuff for like, what, almost two decades now(!).

Edgelords were fun up through the mid-2000s and then the rest of us grew up, realized shock value was for teenage boys, and learned to prefer well-constructed and thoughtful arguments over angst and vitriol.
This is my personal advice, feel free to ignore it. I am only giving it to you because I was in almost the EXACT same situation. I also got my PhD in pure math (langlands) and was in a postdoc just like you, planning for the job market. I myself did NOT get an academic job despite applying to many places.

On the note of academic jobs: the #1 thing over EVERYTHING else is connections. Connections are even more important than producing HIGH QUALITY papers. You need to be interesting and regularly communicating with 2-3 research groups around the world who CARE about your work seriously and might want to work with you (i.e. they should be showing some enthusiasm for your work). Your postdoc advisor(s) need to be behind you on this, they need to write you an amazing letter, and you need them to help you find these connections. But, you also have to strengthen/find them on your own. If you don't have good connections, FORGET about an academic job. (This was my #1 mistake, but I don't regret making this mistake for a variety of reasons -- if you want to talk more, feel free to contact me at jpolak (at) jpolak (dot) org).

In terms of programming jobs: other people here will have better advice on how to get into that world.....but I will tell you something they might not. The programming/industry world has a HIGH CHANCE (not GUARANTEED) to be extremely boring if you are used to pure math. I don't mean they are intrinsically boring, but to the person who enjoys pure math, they aren't close to that style at all. The work style is completely different.

My main advice then is to think about jobs OUTSIDE the technical sphere. Not that you will NECESSARILY need to go that route, but it is something worth thinking about. One of the best things about pure math is creativity, and the opportunities to express creativity like that in industry is rather low. Today it's all about specialized stuff that is very directed.

For my, I went into something completely different: writing and photography. Not saying you will go that route, but finding something you like to do that is creative might be more enjoyable than doing something technical. Again, this advice is HEAVILY influenced by my personal feelings about what pure math is about, but basically, I submit that industry and pure math are SO different, that even non-technical fields can be more similar to pure math than programming.

Finally, I will say that based on talking to SEVERAL former grad-student colleagues, my advice generally holds true. Industry can be amusing for a short time, but in the long-run, it's boring....just something to think about. Personally, I quit industry (programming/comp-sci stuff) this year because I hated it from Day 1 and I'm very happy I did.
I meant sexy in the sense of fashionable. People are impressed if you can solve TSP for a few nodes with a NN, but they don`t really care if you can solve for 100k of nodes with good ol' branch-and-cut.
The Haber-Bosch process.
Yup. And there's a similar theory that both big comedy movies and comedy sitcoms have been largely disappearing because people are getting their comedy fixes from YouTube and TikTok now.

So when they go to the movies or pull up Netflix, almost all the new stuff being produced is drama. (Comedies haven't died out completely, but proportionally they're far, far less than they used to be.)
It's almost like there's two things here, and they do mostly the same thing, but someone... I don't know... "split" them.

Divided them, if you will. Made it so that there is a closed system of software that only users on certain "approved" hardware can access and use, and also locked those users into that system by preventing real competition.

I certainly am unable to see how that is entirely related to this conversation. It's a real puzzle to me...
The problem has been explained very clearly in multiple comments, from different perspectives. You should try really really hard to not understand it at this point.
It seems like you are stating that women of the past were secretly unhappy, so the modern divorce rate is the system hitting it's relaxed state. That's a confusing way to support the way things are.
Also keep in mind that heated seats may not be the only option available. If you add in a few other options like backup camera, self driving/driver assist and maybe a few more you end up making a dozen or so different production lines and complex logistics. If you have a dozen features you are basically making custom cars at this point. It can definitely be cheaper to make a single model of car and lock features instead of dealing with all of that complexity. Sure, for one commonly purchased feature like heated seats it make make sense to have 2 production lines (at least for the seats) once you start adding dimensions to that matrix it gets expensive very quickly.
