It sounds like you are visualizing the typical robbery as a thief stops you in some location secluded enough that they have time to get you to remove all your valuables and hand them over.

It actually is typically a grab and run in a crowd.

We know making smartphones harder to flip deters this because in 2015 when it become mandatory for smartphones to require a remote kill switch the owner could use to kill a stolen phone the theft rate for such phones dropped significantly.
Didn't he read an acronym wrong and it was a nongovernmental agency in one of the most prominent examples he used? And Biden wasn't in office for the laptop stuff but Trump was for the stuff they requested get removed?
Returning references to storage within the map would be a substantial footgun without borrowing.
NATS is something else, but it's awesome. It has awesome throughput and latency out of the box (without Jetstream), while using little resources.

I'd recommend considering it, especially as an alternative to RabbitMQ.
I have a simpler reason for the same belief.

You can fake everything except a well designed A/B test. At FAANG scale, a statistically significant A/B test requirement will stop the worst fraud before it hits the user.
But the OP mentioned it EXPLICITLY matters in his use case. Telling someone their use case doesn't matter is sort of a reddit thing to do.
As someone who's spent a decent amount of time writing "output to pdf" routines, I would never in a million years choose pdf as an interchange format for anything at all.
Python has the same problem (to the extent that it's actually a problem, which you might or might not agree with), and this is the #1 reason they won't change it.
Can you switch away from it? Or do you need its advanced features?
"innocent until proven guilty" and "freedom of speech" are principles codified in law.

The position that only the government is bound by "freedom of speech" is, at the very least, weird in an international context where things that are not the US government are expected to respect people's freedoms.

It is also perfectly legal to do a lot bad things like e.g. buying the product of slave labor in other countries or blood diamonds or buying stocks of companies known to pollute with wild disregard.

Also in the US:

> "innocent until proven guilty" only applies in a court of law.

is misleading, the more precise version is that "innocent until proven guilty" only applies in criminal courts.

Putting aside recent allegations, it's disappointing what has happened to Russell Brand's YouTube channel. I watched some of his videos a few years ago and they were interesting discussions of the news with a particular emphasis on questioning everything which I see as a healthy habit. Inevitably though, the algorithm steered the videos to become more clickbaity, divisive, and frankly crazy. He probably saw that outrage-bait videos were getting double the views. YouTube's algorithm plays a massive part in what goes into people's heads and they should be held more accountable.
Congratulations!

There's wide, wide middle ground between celibacy and the debauched status quo.
There's no need for compromise in this case. This issue is something I learned about in the late 90s / early 2000s when I started reading about programming language theory. It's found in introductory textbooks.
Good point. Some of the uniqueness is because some of these devices have been developed before considering connectivity, and in many cases, the network features are "bolted on". Are there any good best practices documentation regarding IoT device security, especially when considering regulatory filings or compliance requirements.
Yeah, I also find it depressing. I think it's conditioning from exposure to advertising, though. It's good to be rich and bad to be poor, and if you're poor, you can't afford name brand stuff. So open your wallet and impress your friends with NAME BRAND BAKING SODA. WHOA WOW! I'm not sure it's objectively depressing to not be able to choose from 300 brands of household essentials, but the explosion of color and creativity and eye-popping packaging that's the result of multiple companies competing is certainly a sensory experience.

> parse and sanitize some extremely dirty, unstructured data and pass it along somewhere else

can you be more specific? that to me sounds like hello world for either of these tools. "santize data" is an application level concern that neither rabbit or kafka would handle. as far as "pass along somewhere else" again both tools can do.
> He says that to get access to genuine Apple parts (and the ability to pair them to devices), Apple requires that his shop not be able to do certain things like fix a broken angle detection sensor.

is this a loaded framing for the proposition that "you can't perform component-level repairs if you're presenting yourself as an apple authorized service center"? because the point of apple authorized service centers is you get the apple authorized service, not someone drilling and reflowing your board to replace components.

it's great that rossman can do this, but he's N=1, and apple can't make their entire network out of rossmans. I think it's pretty obvious why they have to enforce minimum standards and standardized repair protocols in an authorized service program.

this is the "rossman doesn't like any repair solution in which rossman doesn't get paid" thing in action. component-level repair isn't the only kind of repair, it's just the one that results in rossman getting paid the most.

Forgot to also add, cause various parts of a cryptocurrency ecosystem are much harder to change than traditional finance. So I can see why they throw in a ton of 0s and use 256-bit ints just in case.
Gluster did this about a decade ago, though not in Rust. Actually twice - home-grown NFSv3 and Ganesha-based NFSv4. At Facebook we used the NFSv3 version to run dozens of clusters serving tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of machines. My own involvement with that piece was minimal (I was a maintainer of Gluster overall for a while) but it worked pretty well for those users who needed a real mountable filesystem with real files instead of vaguely file-like objects that let you down every time you try to step beyond whole-file read and write.
As a genuine question, why are govts so protective of homegrown companies?
Like unless they have a stake in them or have actually invested time and resources to build them.
I'm no anti-govt guy. But if I want to sell my company I built without any govt benefits(TAX breaks go to all companies?) Then why am I not allowed to sell it to anyone I wish to.
I know that companies run to govts for bailouts and other related reasons, but consider an ideal economy for +/- 20 years. I want to know the answer.
You need to understand that the majority of people simply don't agree with you.

They choose platforms with moderation (aka censorship) and stay away from those that don't.
> The first involves power delivery and calls for replacing 120/280V power distribution with 240/415V systems

Is 120V used in datacentres in North America?

Since domestic plugs are mostly irrelevant, I'd assumed everything would use 240V (or whatever is the approximate value there).

Datacentres in Europe etc use ~240V to each server's PSU, using IEC C13 or C19 plugs. The rack PDU (big power strip) or UPS connects to 3 phase 415V providing three groups of single phase 240V sockets.
> How do you think any news media functions?

Why do you think all of the media responses to viral things on twitter are "Hey, I'm X from Y News Corp; can we use your footage"?

That laser cutter might take PDF files as input, but it certainly isn't the case with all laser cutters.
That is correct.

Python used to be worse; it used to share scope outside the list comprehension.
All those persecuated one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighters etc, political asylum west provides foreign dissidents (or what foreign actors consider dissidents) out of human rights. Frequently they settle in west and move on with their lives. The issue arises when these people organize and create movements or organizations to influence foreign policy of new host country to go against interest of where they fled, or independantly meddle to undermine. Many so far assumed western influence, more or less depending on functional immunity from extradition allows them to operate unmolested. IMO more countries with reach realizing it's fine to meddle in western sovereignty as long as west allows their citizens/diasphora to meddle in theirs under excuse of liberalism/free speech/association etc. And obviously people in "free" societies with right to influence foreign policy, may still, but govs ability to protect them from motivated actors will likely decline.

I'm not sure it's the other way with VAT, as I said it's been many years and the rules may well have changed multiple times.

The key, though, is that with taxes, if at all unsure you've got the rules right, the safest option is to round in the tax offices favour.

It's in general a lot less painful to explain an overpayment than underpayment if something is broken.

Of course, better yet, get it right.
It's interesting to consider the people who, with the very same set of facts, come to completely opposite conclusions about security.

For instance, Amazon has a staff of thousands or tens of thousands. To me, that means they can't possibly have a good grasp on internal security, that there's no way to know if and when data has been accessed improperly, et cetera. To others, the fact that they're a mega-huge company means they have security people, security processes and procedures, and they are therefore even more secure than smaller companies.

For one of the two groups, the generalized uncertainty of the small company is greater than the generalized uncertainty of the large. For the other, the size of the large makes certain things inevitable, where the security of smaller companies obviously depends on which companies we're talking about and the people involved. More often than not, people want to generalize about small companies but wouldn't apply the same criteria to larger companies like Amazon.

There's a huge emotional component in this, which I think salespeople excel at exploiting.

It fascinates me, even though it's a never-ending source of frustration.
Define live....

Dinosaurs lived for 100+ million years on Earth, then boom, extraterrestrial events extincted them. As an intelligent species (somewhere above dinosaur/ape intelligence) eventually you discover that planets and stars are unstable. You are not living in harmony with nature. Nature is just temporarily not killing you. Now you've further pushed the question to "Does an intelligent species accept its eventual planetary extinction".

It doesn't matter what many do. For example with bacteria it only takes a single cell to make a single change to become the dominant form of that species in some number of generations if it gives them a evolutionary advantage.
I suppose that makes sense when I think about it for a bit. My recent expectations come from work in Rust. There the language prevents you from mutating a map while holding a reference into it. Go doesn't have a mechanism to prevent that (except the one you said, simply not supporting those references at all). If you had a reference into a map that was resized because of a subsequent mutation, your reference would have to keep the whole previous map alive and point to different memory than a reference acquired since then. Both seem undesirable.

With array slots, the same issue is present but is a bit more explicit because those resizes happen with `mySlice = append(mySlice, ...)`.
This is genuinely terrible for people living in the UK who care about their privacy and freedom on the internet.

I do wonder whether this bill was caused by sincere misunderstanding of how tech works on the part of the legislators or, more cynically, a government agenda to crush privacy on the internet. Either way, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Maybe experiments can take thousands of hours.

I exempted kitchen appliances, and suppose laundry too. Sometimes these are on 220 which is a different circuit already, right? Everything else in our place needs to be converted to DC.

Regarding concert going, I've certainly met people so risk averse that they don't join a concert mass outdoors, and a lot more that don't do so indoors. This is especially more common before important events like a trip.

That said, the respiratory route is very distinct from the oral, genital and anal route.

On a spectrum of frequency of contact, respiratory is the most frequent, then comes oral/digestive, then genital, and finally anal.

The more frequent and vital a route is, the more natural and artificial resources we can allocate to combat infections.

So infections spread by talking to each other, being vital, gets a vaccine developed in less than a year, and gets diverse natural antibodies.

On the other hand, a disease that spreads among adults who seek pleasure, will be allocated less resources, more so if it spreads preferentially through non reproductive sex.

Aids on the respiratory system would be fucking deadly, but my guess is that it would never spread there because there's more protection mechanisms, respiratory is like a process running unprivileged on an open port 80. Genital is port 22 and anal-genital is rdp or teamviewer with admin privileges on a server.
I’m personally a fan of Kafka. I think the design of persisting the messages, and tracking offsets for progress instead of message acknowledgments is a much cleaner and more versatile design.

You can get all the same advantages of message acknowledgments, but now you can also replay queues, let different applications use the messages (handy for cross cutting event/notification systems) and you get better scaling properties-which doesn’t hurt at the small scale, and provides further scaling when you need it.

This is why courts use the only system that has a chance of finding the truth.
Isn't that what this is all about, though? The parts talk to each other, so they can't be disassembled and sold off—but since they talk to each other, it makes it harder to get them working after a repair?
It doesn't help that heterosexual use of prep is virtually unheard of.
> not in SF

Someone tip toed carefully into my house while I was sleeping in it, in the Mission near Valencia St., and cat-burgled* my wife's phone off her nightstand, at around 3am. We have some pictures of his legs (?) that he took in some bathroom later that evening. Finally it winds up pinging its location at a Mission phone repair shop, which of course the guy there is saying he has no idea what we're talking about and maybe the phone is "upstairs."

We didn't report, because last time I reported someone breaking into my garage, the two SFPD officers were talking about people interested in my "printer." Nothing was stolen, because it woke me up and I yelled at them from above.

I don't really know what the economy is around stolen phones. It surely exists. I don't know why you would want to die on this hill of ignorance. It's a quintessentially social media thing to do! You have no dog in this race.

*Our cat helpfully ran out the door for fun.
I have an incredible sleaze radar. The first 10 seconds I saw this guy some 10 years ago I immediately knew he was a disgusting guy.
The solution for a phone is put a vin on the display and other valuable parts and upload those to the carrier/manufacturer.

Imagine how happy someone would be if they had their display replaced with a stolen one and next thing they know their phone is both bricked and of no value even for parts.
Why not use something like backchannel? That way we wouldn't need phone numbers either...

The initial shared private key exchange could be done with more expensive, quantum resistant cryptography but the actual communication could be done through symmetric encryption.

https://www.inkandswitch.com/backchannel/

For the key exchange itself ("PAKE") maybe something like this: https://journal-home.s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/site/ic...

And for the symmetric encryption: https://github.com/Steppenwolfe65/eAES
The one thing we've learned from these leaks of Microsoft documents is that the XBox people have a shockingly wrong understanding of their own industry. I guess that explains their lack of success, at least relative to the competition.
amazing. which tools did you use to build this?
Neat. My master's project many years back was something like this but built in XNA (which was the style at the time). I mostly just had simple triangular "turtles" ("bees" in this system, because of a bee swarm metaphor naming convention, for silly reasons such as naming things is hard) by the time I presented the project (and graduated), but I had some fun with them, all three vertices could have different colors and there were some things we were doing with that.

The big thing I was exploring, however, was a more prototypical-inheritance-oriented development. Rather than forEach() style callbacks, instance methods were used (`Update(time)`) and could be inherited from prototypes (which was the default as the Clone method was the default way to create new "bees"/"turtles"). The prototype-inheritance worked in sort of "copy on write" way that properties would be entirely shared across the prototype chain until changed for a specific instance.

I used the Boo language in the C#-based REPL environment. That was a Python-inspired .NET language (which has somewhat disappeared since). At the time, I built the prototype-style inheritance as a combination of hacks of C# object graphs of hash tables (`Dictionary<K, V>` with an added "ownership" concept) and Boo macros (and not quite finished at the pencil's down time: `IQuackFoo` [Boo] and `IDynamicObject` [DLR] support).

(I think I'd have to dig the old darcs repo out of mothballed backups at this point, but I did find my final presentation on it in my Documents folder, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered half of this.)

Anyway, the interesting thing about Agentscript being in JS, itself a prototype-based language, is that you should be able to easily recreate much of what I did in that old project, except maybe the "copy on write" semantics might need a bit of fudging. I still think that prototype-based inheritance (and even things like runtime prototype switching) is still a very useful avenue of exploration for Agent based modeling like this (and underappreciated in general, especially now that JS' own prototype-oriented nature is increasingly obscured behind the class syntax sugar). It can be a little more interesting that imperative forEach-based modeling.
I provided VLC as an example in order to head off any responses around what built-in apps do or do not support (rather than to imply that you need VLC). Not sure where you inferred that I was using Android, but apologies if what I said led you down that path.
Using an almost 12 year old piece of networking software doesn't seem very secure to me.
It's very simple.

If it is not a refactoring, a UI/UX redesign, or a wholly new ad product, then most likely it affects average prices of running ad campaings. Even if you think it does not, maybe you slipped in a coding bug. So before rolling out your change, you canary it and measure how much it changed stuff. A dumb raise in ad price will cause bad stuff for conversion costs, so it'll be a no-go.
Then again, if you're using file locking on a distributed filesystem at non-trivial scale you're in for a big world of hurt anyway. Source: I was a developer and maintainer of exactly such a beast for over a decade.
> youtube has decided to believe the victim

Not the victim. The accuser, who may be a victim.
I don't think it's unusual for creators who put out videos on various topics extremely frequently when most of their subscribers aren't watching every video.

It basically just means that the average subscriber is watching ~2 of his videos a month.
If Apple acquired Nintendo I’m confident they’d leave them alone and use them simply to bolster their ecosystem with exclusives.

In fact I’d argue Nintendo would be better off, now being able to make games without worrying about hardware as everything would be playable across a billion plus devices.
I'm a big fan of Amazon's fire tablets, great name brand value for the sub $200 price. Fire 11 doesn't even feel slow like previous years models did. I mainly use it for streaming and other media consumption.

Having a microsd card is great for offline media in this day and a rarity. Although im sad they killed the 3.5mm jack. Usbc headphone adapters are a bit glitchy and block the charging port.

I hope they keep making & updating the tablets and kindles, but theres no other alexa enabled device i've ever been interested in.
This is more due to the fact that Kotlin doesn’t control its backend and is designed to work with a language that already includes this model, js.

What happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'?
Meanwhile Python has received this same feature request many times over the years, and the answer is always that it would break existing code for little major benefit https://discuss.python.org/t/make-lambdas-proper-closures/10...

Given how much of an uproar there was over changing the string type in the Python 2 -> 3 transition, I can't imagine this change would ever end up in Python before a 4.0.

Cue someone arguing about how bad Python is because it won't fix these things, and then arguing about how bad Python is because their scripts from 2003 stopped working...
Now we hope that all Nintendo consoles will be retro compatible until Windows 1.0. I would add to the Game & Watch series.
I always hated tables. At least when I last had to implement UK VAT rules the rules were very precisely defined. But I've had to deal with stupid tables implementing rules they couldn't be bothered to spell out before. Yikes.
>Whereas, if Nintendo lost Mario, the blow would be catastrophic.

Honestly, I don't the loss of Mario would be catastrophic. What would be is _how_ they "lost" Mario - presumably through bad games and other properties.
And where in that middle ground are you trying to insert yourself?
