It's especially annoying because I can count on both hands situations where the blogging / social media team and the engineering / legal teams weren't on the same page. The blogging team sends out a message saying "we don't," while engineering is already working on something that does and legal has signed off because it doesn't violate the Terms.
Journalists aren't the ones who make decisions about how a news site monetizes its content, and they aren't the ones responsible for the consolidation of the media. This whole dispute is 100% about monetization and has nothing to do with the idea that journalists somehow completely abandoned their responsibilities.
There was an arstechnica article a while back with a password cracker (person) who had an answer for this: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/05/how-c...

"The specific type of hybrid attack that cracked that password is known as a combinator attack. It combines each word in a dictionary with every other word in the dictionary. Because these attacks are capable of generating a huge number of guesses—the square of the number of words in the dict—crackers often work with smaller word lists or simply terminate a run in progress once things start slowing down. Other times, they combine words from one big dictionary with words from a smaller one. Steube was able to crack "momof3g8kids" because he had "momof3g" in his 111 million dict and "8kids" in a smaller dict.

"The combinator attack got it! It's cool," he said. Then referring to the oft-cited xkcd comic, he added: "This is an answer to the batteryhorsestaple thing.""

The entropy factors I see listed as in the xkcd comic are only valid if the cracking entity is doing a brute force attack. But skilled attacks won't be doing this. There's still nothing that beats a truly random string. But as others pointed out, it's also the most inconvenient to try to manage and remember.
Wouldn’t the time-of-day effect be amplified with enough EVs? Everyone arrives home at 6pm after work and plugs in.

Criticize Google Maps all you want, but it is easily one of the most useful apps to me, especially as someone who's been been living nomadically the last 5 years. It's kind of scary how dependent I am on this app. Anytime I need to find a restaurant, dentist, electronics store, etc. - I'm looking first on Google Maps and my life is basically dictated by the results.

I have lists like "Places to Work" which is a list of all the nice coffee shops and places I like to work out of (currently have 200). I star hotels + AirBnBs I'm staying in, and bookmark a ton of things. I rely on it for public transportation. If I could only pick 3 apps on my phone, Google Maps would definitely be one of them.

I do wish there were better alternatives and I hate being overly dependent on one company. Unfortunately the open source alternatives like OpenStreetMap don't really even compare.
Because I use Linux, I can't make any local changes until I log into a meeting. For example, I can only change my display name after joining a meeting.

Ignoring the laughable lack of Linux support for a moment... will I need to log into a meeting so that I can open up my settings to opt out of this? If so, this is an unacceptable situation as I need to watch criminal court hearings and do not want to risk violating state law that bans the recording of criminal hearings.
I wouldn't say this one to be frugal, but then frugality varies by different parameters. What they priortize (Eg: a dedicated marketing tool vs sending marketing through app itself), what their expertise in (hosting in vps vs aws vs heroku, etc), the type of service, team size and so on. As there are 10 ways to do the same thing all with a different tradeoffs.

Being solo myself, I aim to keep my costs as low as possible as well. Until my last product, all my previous products I kept the running costs to $3 per month (just for the server on hetzner). Rest all were free services (tawk.to for CS, Zoho for email, postmark for emails, and so on). Granted they weren't making much, just couple of hundred dollars per month, but then it was pure profit and it got fun to measure the returns in profit than just revenue.

For the latest one, all in all I spend around $30 per month with close to $1250 in mrr. So it has generous spend to return ratio. The only three running cost are the helpscout (for customer support, docs, etc.), google workspace and the servers with Hetzner. HelpScout and Google workspace were my way of "splurging" the costs.

Last I checked I was using close to 16 services (ranging from marketing to revenue tracking), so weren't really skimping on tools to save costs either.

The free tools (including several the op mentioned) are awesome to get started, but many of these services' costs would jump multi-fold even if you add one other team member or go just above the limit. That's anyway all these services' business model as well.

You make it sound like it’s a Bad Thing (TM). The apprentices that sign up for this gain real world experience that’s hard to come by locally and get paid for it.

This kind of extended apprenticeship is valuable as they can go on to land remote jobs that pay them better than their local market.

Perhaps they could have worded that more clearly as: “we recruit devs . . . from low-income countries with English as their official language”

This is how they are able to make the economics work.

EDIT:

https://www.pullrequest.com/ is a comparable service (where you involve “outsiders” with your codebase) except they use senior devs rather than junior devs. Of course senior devs are more farther along in their careers so it is clear you are paying for their experience.

Biggest unsolved problem I'm aware of is product discovery. Given an intention, I want to buy a thing, say a TV; finding an actual good product (according to whatever criteria) has gotten absurdly difficult due to a confluence of effects, including the closure of brick and mortar stores, the death of magazines, the rise of e-commerce market platforms, dropshipping, paid reviews, straight up scams, etc.
* More reliable: They're much simpler and have many fewer moving parts.

* Lower maintenance: There's no need to keep a complicated engine with lots of moving parts properly lubricated.

* Much quieter: No sound, even when accelerating like a race car.

* More pleasant: You never again have to pump smelly, poisonous, explosive liquids.

* More storage: Two trunks!

* Better performance: Faster acceleration, smoother driving, better handling -- "grips the road" (most of the weight is underneath).

> It’s very hard to get external contractors to be excited when they dont get the swag / on-sites and share the culture.

It’s not the lack of swag or on-sites. Companies usually outsource to cut costs, so there’s your problem. Also, I’m not convinced there’s correlation between being “excited” about a company and producing good quality results.
If you write something you assume some base level of reader knowledge. As you say, if you go back to first principles for everything, 1.) You now have 1,000 words of boilerplate that will make the average reader turn the page very quickly and 2.) It probably still won't work for someone with zero knowledge and probably not much more interest.

Depends on the building, the size and construction of the parking garage, and the amount of power that it is set up to draw. This can be easy or extremely expensive depending on the circumstances.
The sensible thing to do here is hash the password before sending it, not impose a character limit on the field. Ideally, browsers could even support this directly as part of the input element if they weren't busy adding things no sane person wants like webUSB or browser notifications.
Almost surely! Outside of seeing obvious signs like VirtIO devices, one can go to great lengths to hide the virtualization

Similar tricks that work for the ESEA Anti Cheat client and Nvidia code 43 will likely suffice

VFIO takes this a step further and provides one less virtualized device
A battery is practically the wear component of an EV drive train.

Imagine if every time you got gas it also quickly swapped out your transmission and engine with someone else's who may or may not have abused the hell out of that drivetrain previously. You buy a new EV, you go do a battery swap, the battery you got dies in a month. Who replaces the battery?

There's some talk about making battery leasing programs which could potentially be tied to battery swap stations, but I don't think I'd ever tie my refueling strategy to a $10k+ lease.

Battery swapping is just very impractical when we can just recharge them. One of the big positives of battery swapping is reducing the load on the grid for those extremely high power draws in fast recharging, but if we just build up batteries at the charging site it can help smooth those demands out more evenly making it easier for the grid to handle in the same way. Either way you're going to need a cache of batteries extra on site at the charging site.
Tangentially related: does anybody know which of the teleconferencing solution has the best audio quality? I'm looking into live music streaming and Zoom/Google Meet seem to offer subpar sound quality, optimizing for latency and using other aspects like noise reduction.
Most EVs have locked charging ports, so they can’t disconnect it without unlocking the car. However, they could just cut the wire for laughs, although the result of that might be shocking.

Where I live, street parking is rife with catalytic converter theft and gas siphoning (they drill a hole in your tank).

2030 is the date for some European countries, but in the USA 2035 is the date being set by some states.

I would encourage commenters here to pay a visit to China to see what's happening there with their own eyes. Most commenters never visit China and make some bold comments based on distorted information from MSM. A couple of months ago, I visited my hometown in China, located in one of the poorest regions of the country, and I witnessed how vibrant the local economy is. I attended a Big Data Expo held there, and I was shocked by how deep Big Data and AI are integrated in everyday life and industry over there. I think it's beneficial to know the facts in seeking truth.
A) only a handful of companies can even afford to secure their infra as much as MS. Security is relative to threat actors, not absolute. One individual cannot defend themselves against an APT team (P=persistent).

B)I don't know if you heard about infamous mass-exploitations like the recent moveit or russia with solarwinds but an APT will still pwn everyone. One stop shop or not. Having one place is actually good because you won't have 1000+ incident responses and remediation is also a one stop action as is figuring out scope and impact.

How is Facebook providing the news sites a service? Did they go out to Facebook and say "please post our content on your users' feeds"? No. It's not a business relationship between the two. Facebook users are posting the news sites' content on Facebook, which enriches Facebook and the Facebook users.

Now, whether posting links is the kind of enrichment that deserves payment is a separate question. But the idea that Facebook is somehow providing news sites a service in some sort of charitable way by allowing URLs to be posted by 3rd parties is ridiculous.

The equation is different for Google and search indexing, though. And of course once Google started harvesting content directly from third party websites and shoving it into answerboxes, actively siphoning traffic away, it got more complex.
They are better drives. The acceleration is really nice. Not having to put gas into it is also an advantage, but honestly I bought mine just because it was more fun to drive.

And this lack of accountability is exactly why our world is the way it is. Just remember anyone can justify evil behavior if they try hard enough. Why? because people are not basically good by nature. They are basically evil by nature. Observe any 2-3 year old throwing a fit and you might begin to grasp the concept.

> What exactly is your solution for "bad behavior" in society then?

There are many possible solutions for "bad behavior in public"; on the "carrot" side there's better education, better nutrition, more peaceful neighborhoods, and better care for mental health and addiction; on the "stick" side there's prison, involuntary confinement to mental wards, corporal punishment, and shaming. In many other places in the world people who can't look after themselves are stopped by external forces who care to apply behavioral standards to public conduct.

"Bad behavior" will never be eliminated from any society, but it is not true that there is no possible solution that allows us to live in a society where late-night fast food workers aren't regularly threatened by violent people.

Regarding projecting my own bias on the piece, I am indeed biased against prostitutes, pimps, johns, people who are violent towards fast food workers, organized crime, unorganized crime, and anyone else who regularly engages in antisocial behavior for self-gratification. I don't mind and even enjoy writing that explores these underworlds and details the motivations of people who live in them, but this piece was clearly written by someone who has a strong distaste for a "normal", healthy society, and believes that the lowest parts of society are as or more valuable than the rest of it.

This whole contest sounds like a racket trying to get money from the Bulls. The Bulls were selling out games left and right back them.

> With a complex enough problem, that doesn't work as well as you imply.

No, the approach of breaking down a problem into smaller manageable pieces and attacking each piece separately in the same manner is universal. This of course will be guided by one's prior knowledge, experience and techniques to manage Risk. See for example the classic; The Spiral Model of Software Development - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_model

> Which is the reason why re-implementations ... because the second time around, the architecture is informed by the experience of implementation.

True; but you don't get to do a re-implementation every time. Hence one has to evolve the system architecture carefully with the the same approach mentioned above.

I don't disagree but what is the point of single countries putting restrictions in place while developing countries continue to rely on burning carbon? It would handicap the economies of some while others just carry on. As those countries develop they are going to burn more and more carbon. Those developing countries also have massive populations, they will not intentionally handicap their growth while others have already benefited.

Agile Six | $138-$145 K + ESOP + Benefits | Remote only (but pretty much US only because federal contractor) | Full-time

Agile Six is hiring a Software Quality Engineer!

Agile Six (or A6) is a federal contractor. This specific position is for architecting improvements to our tests, test automation, probably some DevOps work, etc. Our team manages the Drupal 9 CMS and a static build system that takes content from Drupal and renders it to HTML to form most of the VA.gov website.

This is a position that I've personally championed and I'm really excited about. We're all senior engineers here, we all do good work, but I'm pushing to increase our automated test coverage and improve our systems.

I'm trying to find a Software Quality Architect kind of person, maybe someone with a QA background, or a DevOps engineer with a strong interest in quality, or a software engineer who's learned (as I have) that developing better policies, processes, and tools helps us sleep a little better at night.

A6 is a fantastic place to work. We do purposeful civic-tech work, we value work-life balance, and we try to do the right thing thoughtfully, compassionately, and happily. I hope this struck the right chord with someone out there :)
