Where did he say the word nigger?

He was clearly shaken, but he had a good point about fighting against police brutality, and he understood that it was about class, power and opportunity, not skin color
This is a religious belief and not scientific knowledge or strong legal argument.

newscracker, I just want to say THANK YOU. Ever since the iPhone has made this change, it's been a minor frustration of mine, like a constant pebble in my shoe, since I have the habit of going into Airplane mode with wifi on every time I go inside to a venue with wifi (b/c the health consequences of having such a strong 4G signal so close to my body are unclear to me; better to be safe than sorry) and the lots of clicks (settings, cellular data, turn it off; settings, wifi, turn wifi on; etc) has been this pebble in the shoe pain. But I had no idea you could define a shortcut for these and I never thought to. I just designed shortcuts to turn them on and off and put it on my homescreen and it is AMAZING. So, thank you, newscracker, for sharing this tidbit.
Short summary:
The building did not have an electrical cutoff mechanism, it lacked an automatic fire extinguisher system, it had wooden ceiling, and two inner courtyards acted as chimneys.
I only consider Prime items anymore, so for me that filter is always switched on.

> Yeah that was conceived and written at a time where you had to hand carve and forge a single shot breech loading rifle.

At the time the Second Amendment was ratified, private individuals could, and did, own fully armed and crewed warships and field artillery pieces.

> You can espouse history all you want, but asserting unbounded rights in the face of dramatic technological progress is not a healthy attitude towards society.

So you're arguing that the First Amendment doesn't apply to the Internet, then?
Not questioning your intelligence or your studies.

But I wouldn't presume to understand a paper in, say, topology or number theory, without a degree in mathematics.

Philosophy has the appearance of accessibility, because it uses ordinary language. But without an MA in Philosophy, a working knowledge of Latin, and some notion of context (Renaissance culture and Judaism) I wouldn't expect to understand Spinoza.
While I agree that vertical tabs make sense, personally I never use desktop browsers in fullscreen (nor almost any other application other than IDEs). So I’m probably f’ed anyway with regard to fingerprinting.
Thank you for taking the time to explain this! I had bookmarked the above comment in the hopes that someone would.
Agree. On mobile has become essentially the Google experience meaning there’s just a search field and nothing else. I personally love it.
> Disposable batteries hold significantly more charge and sometimes that matters.

Not really true but also not wrong. Disposable batteries tend to be on par with rechargeable when it comes to charge. Disposable AA 2850mAh [1] Rechargeable 2000mAh [2]

What you are (likely) experiencing is that rechargeable batteries tend to have much higher self discharge rates than disposables. The end result is the rechargeable feel like they have less capacity as they seem to last for a shorter period of time. Further, the lower voltage tends to also push you to need to recharge them because your devices fail to work at the lower voltages.

The dastardly part of rechargeable is you can get like 3500mAh AA but you shouldn't because those tend to have absurdly high self discharge rates. (AFAIK) The enloop batteries tend to be the best when it comes to self discharge, but at the cost of lower total capacity.

Windows 10 ist EoL very soon in 2024.
My espresso craving is fully satisfied by the Nespresso capsule machine; the classic type, with capsule patent expired, not the newer Vertuo type. Original Nespresso capsules are 5-6 euro per pack of 10; non-originals from Illy or Lavazza are even cheaper at about 40 cents per shot.

Entry-level machines are as cheap as 100 euro, for 200-300 you will get semi- or fully-auto, plus some features like milk frother. The primary advantage here is reproducibility and ease of use: insert the capsule, check the water level, push the button, and here you go.

Some espresso aficionados with 1000 EUR machines and 400 EUR grinders tried to impress me with their setups. Still, I honestly cannot taste the difference unless they use special Arabica roasts with unbearable acidity, which sadly has become increasingly popular nowadays.
do the unvaccinated get "long covid"?
You're stating something that should be obvious. How are there so many software and software-adjacent people who take headlines at face value?
This makes no sense and is difficult to even respond to coherently.

> It's funny that as an industry we now know how to safely deploy software updates to hundreds of millions of phones, with security checks, signed firmwares, etc,

Either you're completely wrong, because we "as an industry" still push bugs and security flaws, or you're comparing two completely different things.

> doing that on applications with a super high unit price tag seems out of reach...

is true because of

> a few millions is like only a thousand hours of flying in jet fuel costs alone

like do you really think they spent millions pushing a line of code? or do you think it's just inherently expensive to fly a jet, and so doing it twice costs more?
From working tangentially in consumer electronics, I can tell you that nearly all failures are design related if you look deep enough.

There are some products where some start dying after 1 year, and nearly all of them are dead after 2 years.

Other times it's a combination of a bad design and some specific use case. For example "these fail after 3 years if you turn them on and off every day, but don't fail if you leave them running 24x7".
My CPU immediately jumped to 50% usage and 65C with a 360mm AIO. The culprit I think is that vertical scrolling text because usage drops when I scroll down.
Is it not the case that the controller boards store track data specific to an individual drive? I don't think they can be swapped out.
I think his point was that for the people who would abide by the law were going to anyway.
I encourage you to read the vox articles (or the papers they are reporting on) where the authors lay out what will happen if we take this approach.
the first paragraph has strong get off my lawn vibes. nope.
Yes, this is an issue self-driving cars. Roads and signage are not unchanging and always set up proper or the same way every time, everywhere, nor do they need to be.

Light control at an intersection out? They'll just blink red, indicating a stop sign. Maybe they're off, and they put up temporary stop signs on the corners, or as you mentioned, a police officer redirects traffic. And then a fire engine will run through it, as they need to.
Some people/opinions are so intellectually bankrupt, unless you’re there to correct them (fruitless), you’re wasting oxygen by consuming the content.

> I don’t understand the desire to surround yourself with clones of yourself.

Every society ever follows the formula of being with people who share similar characteristics one way or another. Not that crazy.
If Frances streets are any safer, it is due to a less retarded population and not due to any successes by Le goubernement.

Of course, France is striving to import a more retarded and dangerous populace as quickly as possible, so who knows who will win that contest.
I'm surprised dual aspect theory as a solution to the mind-body problem isn't better known (at least, I hasn't heard of it.)
It's the antiAmericanism and the big tech boogeyman that drives a lot of these crazy European attacks on the open web.
> the espresso is incredibly bitter and astringent/acidic. Is that on purpose? Do Americans actually want their coffee to be super bitter and astringent/acidic?

Haha, yeah. The new "hipster" coffee I'd tend to say leans more on the side of expressing the acidity of the bean through light-roasts over the chocolate-y flavors from dark roasts.

> But in the US it is rare to actually see someone drink a coffee without milk.

I think this is true with espresso, but not with pourovers. I think the people who like to drink espresso by itself won't go to a cafe to get an espresso since they'll likely get a better shot with their own machine than a cafe's machine.

The reason being is that cafes don't have time to re-dial in their shots midday, and they don't need to be as detailed with their shot-pulling since most customers order milk-based espresso drinks (so most bitterness/sourness from over/under extraction gets masked with milk).
"If all this sounds too good to be true, that's because there's a lot that needs to happen before GEP's vision can become a reality."

It doesn't sound too good to be true. It just sounds weird. Rather than waiting for future technologies, they could deploy a combination of wind, solar, and batteries today.

If the goal is to provide an incubator for future tech, I guess that makes sense for the SMRs, though hydrogen doesn't seem particularly relevant to data centers. If they have spare electricity they might as well export it to the grid, rather than convert it to hydrogen, for which there's no real infrastructure and none planned.

I'm all for incubating energy tech, but the combination of these two and the long time frame smells suspiciously like the fossil fuel industry playbook of "Don't invest in current renewables, since better ones are coming One Of These Days, so keep buying fossil fuels now."
The Campbells soup example shows precisely why inflation can't be based on a single product, and why the Bureau of Labor Statistics employs a bunch of professionals to figure this issue out. If you measured inflation by the cost of a 60" television, you'd see a very different (and equally useless) chart.

The new car price chart says in tiny text "not adjusted for inflation".

At that point, I figured the rest of the article was likely to include similarly glaring methodology problems.
In the late 90's I was an instructor in a youth PC repair class. For a fun demonstration we took an old IDE drive, removed the lid and had it running defrag. We did this outside. Next to show how important it was to prevent liquid spills we poured some cola directly into the drive. It sprayed everywhere but the drive kept working fine. Kids got a good laugh and did not learn a lesson that day.
Hallucination Experiment
Well, that stinks. I haven't been to NYC since I was a kid.

How do other countries solve this? Is it just an off-hours thing, or a problem mid-day?
So in your view a bunch of scientists got together and produced an enormous effort for the purpose of ridiculing other scientists? It wasn't perhaps because of an opportunity to significantly change the world?
The browser must send a request with a Host header with the correct site name or the server will 404 it.

What could work is a local proxy server that translates the host name in the request.

It must MITM the https requests though.
Unlike Brave, it does not support Google's ecosystem and therefore doesn't provide them an unlimited power to change web standards.
It's not about the platform, but the people. Mastodon is nice for some of the techy stuff I'm interested in. But it's useless for other things I used to follow on Twitter: hyper-local news and weather, sports banter, and other researchers in my field.
The broader community, unfortunately, often overlook the needs of those who don't fit neatly into the same box as the decision making members of the "broader community" do. Did you read the article?
I use the "summarize everything" extension that uses my OpenAI key, so it costs me a fraction of a penny any time I summarize something. Subsidizing something like this at scale would be pretty dumb.
As a counterexample few people know about the programming language called "the" (pronounced "T-H-eh"). It was the first language that had shared pointers, trinary coroutines (where the same thread jumps between three different parts of the code), and a constrain solver in the compiler for resolving the ambiguous multiple base class problem.
What % actually against though?
What would be the advantage of a bomb built out of this technology as opposed to an H-bomb?

How do you know it's not the other way around:

That they're using the gigantic piggy bank of the military to fund actual fusion research?

I agree that ICF doesn't seem like a winning strategy. But surely it's not complete waste, either, right?
How do you know for sure it's the controller?

Note that many controllers store parts of their firmware/config on the disk platter, so without the disk platter the board may not show up via sata.
You need to be more specific with Red Hat :). I'm guessing you meant like "GNOME 1.2" era Red Hat that came on a CheapBytes CD.
Anecdotally, on my not-officially-supported intel 3rd gen core, win11 has been a much snappier and all-around more pleasant experience than Windows 10.

I'm not saying it's a great OS or anything, I only use it for games and Adobe stuff. But it almost made me consider using it for other things.
You may want to look into https://exist.io/. It's a very indie developer duo out of Australia (IIRC). And also IIRC they were looking for a buyer on Twitter some time ago.
Not necessarily, if the messages are analyzed there's usually an intent (solicitation, scam, etc.) so you can filter based on the content similar to email. The shorter lead forms without a message to analyze are a bit different since you can only go based on IP, email, phone but it's possible.
Yes something like this. Or a commenting system build around rss.

Software engineers are the same as all other engineering professions, and regulated by the same provincial PEG associations. While most employers don't care about it, some software positions where the safety of people is in line (eg aeronautics) or there's a special stake do have requirements to employ professional software engineers.

I think you're actually not even supposed to call yourself an engineer unless you're a professional engineer.
Will humanity be digging up our graves in 400 years in the interest of archaeology?
Looking at that map, it's wild how many "confirmed impact structures more than 100km wide" there are just in Australia. There must be dozens of mass extinction events that we don't know about because the fossil record is so unclear past 500Mya.

This is superb, something like the modern equivalent of the engineer's slap that one could use with old spinning drives that would no longer spin up.
Every word you said is true and we learned it the very hard way.

> Buying a business of any size is no joke.
In the last 8 months I developed more grey hair compared to last 10 years. Running a business has so many aspects to it.

About rewriting the app, we didn't have much choice. Was written 2016 and barely updated since in a language that was hard to learn/expensive to hire developers for.

At this point, we are up to trying ideas. Let me know if you have any book, blog or any general recommendations.

In the 15 or so years I've been using Debian I can't remember ever having any issues with upgrades. It has always just worked smooth as butter for me. Every one of my devices (except phone and Steam Deck of course) is running Debian, and hopefully they always will!

I think I'll celebrate it's birthday by wearing my Debian t-shirt today :)
Came here to say the same, they never went away. The problem with faith healing though is that the person who needs the healing takes it as a test of their faith. My grandfather had stage 4 cancer and Parkinson's and was taken in by one of these charlatans. He stopped taking his meds and the worst part was my family encouraged him. I was the only naysayer, but I was also the primary caretaker. They didn't have to take care of the fallout from him not taking his meds, I did. Now mind you I was already bit of a black sheep in my family because I was the only atheist, therefore my family was already predisposed to ignoring my advice when it came to anything prayer or faith healing related. He fell about a week after he stopped taking his meds, broke his ribs had a hard time breathing and decided to go to hospice rather than be intubated while his ribs healed. He died a few days later. I blame my family for encouraging him to go to that stupid church. Its been three years, I still refuse to talk to my dad and my uncle.
Materially things are better, no doubt. It helps that me and most if my cousins ended up as affluent professionals. But in some ways quality of life is much worse, being separated from our family and culture.

I think my mom never really perceived it as an upgrade. My dad did, but as he gets older it’s getting tougher. Professional networks disperse, and he doesn’t really have family in the country. His relationship with his brother (who actually immigrated to NY recently) didn’t really survive 30 years of separation. My kids will probably never meet all of their cousins.

I totally get the folks in rural Ohio that don’t want to emigrate to the coasts for jobs. They’re going to be facing significant disruptions in their family networks. And it’s not like they’ll enjoy a quantum leap in living standards and social status elsewhere. They’ll just be at the bottom of the totem pole somewhere unfamiliar.
yes. they have a hard paywall!
Mailgun: Public Security Disclosure
TLDR: Inbound email routes don't have SPF/DKIM/DMARC protection, meaning any inbound email sent to a webhook can be trivially spoofed / phished. Using Mailgun Routes is akin to having an SMTP server without spam protection in place, and no ability to put that spam protection in place.

Mailgun describe inbound routes as:

"complex incoming messages are simplified and parsed into all of the data you need with Inbound Routes." [1]

Mailgun refers to DKIM/SPF/DMARC with:

"Mailgun leads the charge in email authentication by requiring DKIM and SPF records by default before you can begin sending." [2]

However, nowhere does it say that Mailgun does not provide SPF or DKIM validation checks on inbound emails. Confusingly, these headers appear only for a subset of inbound emails.

Attack scenario:

1) Pick any domain using mailgun for inbound email processing, trivially found via MX records:

https://securitytrails.com/list/mx/mxa.mailgun.org
https://securitytrails.com/list/mx/mxb.mailgun.org

2) Spoof an email from any address you want to impersonate (eg. security@mailgun.com).

If that address is handled via an inbound route to a webhook (eg. CRM system / other), then it will appear as from the spoofed sender without any DKIM/SPF flags. This makes phishing via Inbound Routes trivial.

Requested fix:

Include SPF (X-Mailgun-Spf), DKIM (X-Mailgun-Dkim-Check-Result), and Spam Assassin headers (eg. DMARC_QUAR / DMARC_REJECT / DMARC_NONE / DMARC_MISSING) headers for ALL inbound routes to a webhook. The application can then decide what to do.

Mailgun Response:

"Our security team has confirmed that our routes act as an open relay and that this is not considered a security vulnerability with Mailgun."

Nowhere in the Mailgun documentation / sales pages are inbound routes described like this, and in fact, they pretend to have protection as headers are sometimes present. Furthermore, attempting to perform SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks manually isn't possible due to Mailgun not providing the original message body without modifications so it will fail DKIM by the time it's passed to the route.

Note A: Using throwaway to not give information away for our own exposed systems.

Note B: The spoofed email must not trigger above a certain spam assassin threshold (this is fairly trivial to do and openly testable by any attacker), otherwise it might get blocked by higher level Mailgun spam handling.

Yeah a cheesy cubesat owned by Air Force.
Hey there, I understand where you're coming from.

Monetizing these types of libraries based on performed transactions or active devices is pretty standard.

The internet connection is only required for the license check which occurs at initialization time, typically once per application session (in case of an SPA).
One thing to consider is that with web apps, an internet connection is kind of a requirement anyway - with completely offline-capable PWAs being the exception.
Typical barcode scanning apps will want to report or look up data associated with a scanned code from an API backend.

And yeah, I'm annoyed too when I'm stuck in a login queue when I want to play Diablo 4 in single-player mode.
Yes, this is a serious problem. I started having to disable power and status LEDs in equipment a number of years ago because of how utterly ridiculous they are.

It reminds me of how when my children were little, I was constantly disabling speakers on toys because so many were ear-blisteringly loud.

Also you can't just write off the fringe field.
Cool it down to freezer temperatures and see if it works. Heat it up to ~60C and see if it works. This applies to both hard drives and SSD's.

A good half of "failed" drives can be made to work for at least a few hours longer with that method.

Unlike OP, If you see signs of life, don't mess with clamps or reflowing. Just leave it in the freezer/oven while you take data off it, with longish power/sata cables to a machine just outside the freezer/oven door.

I recommend GNU ddrescue for getting data off - when you only have a few hours of service life left till it is dead-dead, it maximizes data recovery in a given time. There are various ways to generate a mapfile to skip recovering free blocks, which are worth using if you suspect the drive is mostly empty.

> PLUS making sure you can afford your medications

ok.

> This is not about taxes

why not? Maybe you are missing the point I am making, but then you are selectively not responding to things I already wrote, that I think I outlined pretty clearly in the last post.

what is out of scope here? Where does it end? You suggest a doctor should do more somehow, but doesn't say where the limit is, if any. the point is your own arguments seem to apply to taxes, resumes, coupons etc as much as anything else more medically related.

I think it's pretty rich complaining about me being "obtuse", when you fail to address the main point of my posts.
