The sequence of events here was rather interesting. The Globe and Mail got the assassination story, and asked the government for comment. The government asked the Globe to hold the story for a week due to security concerns, and the Globe gave them 24 hours. Then Trudeau used that window to get ahead of the story by announcing it himself.

He probably burned some bridges with journalists due to this stunt, and that would also explain the complete lack of evidence.
I don't see how C can match Fortran's abstraction level and still reliably control hardware that uses memory-mapped I/O.

C, as an operating system implementation language, is trying to do something fundamentally different than Fortran.

You live by memory address, you die by memory address.
Isn't Google's RCS implementation proprietary anyhow?
Exactly - traveling for work can be fun for a year or two, but once the novelty wears off it's just tiring and stressful. Having preferred status with airlines and hotels makes things much more bearable, and all the miles that you rack up can be spent on the occasional trip with your partner, who has to endure you being away from home so often.
What’s unusual is the volume of contracts purchased, not the contracts in and of themselves… without knowledge of a merger, these contracts had a 99.9% chance of expiring worthless the very next day, so buying $20k worth is rather suspicious…
This is the story about the swedish internet cable that leaked 2.7 million phone health care calls
initially yes, but with a more auditable trail. Intelligence agencies and other groups are no stranger to using stuff like this to get washed money to do things they aren't directly funded for.
When you do it online they have some sort of risk estimation thing where you provide (if I remember correctly) a credit card and a phone number. When I completed mine online, it said I was instantly verified, but for my wife it said additional in-person verification was required. I suspect it's because she changed her name when we got married and whatever online identity service they use has a combination of her old and new names.
Soon they'll require monthly 2FA to use their products. Ya know, for your protection!
Having used other ELK stacks for logging, but never Splunk, what makes them worth what they charge?
I often do this with my iPhone 11 Pro. It is dumb and works better than having no connection. It is a ridiculous thing to do at a time when watches have LTE modems.
By that logic, broken SVGs and the like should also be rendered leniently. That doesn’t make any sense.

If HTML had been strictly schema-validated from the start, nobody would be arguing for this.

It’s certainly true that HTML being parsed leniently helped in it being picked up by amateur website authors in the early days, because they weren’t confronted with error messages (though they were confronted with “why doesn’t this render as I expect” instead). But that has little to do with user expectations by browser users.
Well it seems to work for TCP at least, which is where it comes from. Of course it's not the correct approach for everything, but calling it "one of the crappiest ideas in CS" might be a tad harsh.

EDIT: Of course there are better ways to be robust than to try to just accept whatever garbage is thrown your way because "be liberal in what you accept." So for example since this is about config files, you could easily just tell the user that their stuff is wrong and tell them how to fix it.
Developmental costs associated with early maternal withdrawal (2022)
How interesting. Would you happen to know any good labels and vintages that might be available for purchase in the US?
How strong is the hunch?

This person spent $22,000 on buying the options. Unless you are a person who regularly trades this kind of money, the SEC will ask why you felt so confident in it that you made that bet.

If you're a regular "low level Splunk or Cisco employee" who honestly has no access to insider information and you honestly just have a "hunch," you're probably not making a bet at the level that the SEC cares about.
So you think Vanilla Inc, the company that only makes vanilla flavor ice cream, is paying for a whole chiller that they fill with vanilla, since all the other flavors are not as popular?

Or perhaps, unbeknownst to everyone in the world who uses the word 'vanilla' to mean 'mundane', vanilla ice cream actually enjoys far higher profit margins than all other ice cream.
Solving isn’t the only possibility, adding grocery stores may improve things without actually fixing things. A 54.3% obesity rate is horrific even if it’s better than a 53.7% one.

In public policy the question is generally if something has a measurable impact, and if that impact is worth the investment. Multiple small but very cheap improvements may be better than large but extremely expensive ones.

Well actually (!), they didn't get it quite right. There was one in '40 (which was based on a play), but still, the '44 film with Bergman and Boyer is my favorite. It uses actual gas lights for some of the lighting, which is very moody. Also, Angela Landsbury's first role. Was happy to see it arrive again on The Criterion Channel this month.
You could try to build a science police but it won't work. Congress tried that in the 70s with the ORI. After a few failed prosecutions they basically gave up and are now forgotten - still there and they mount a few prosecutions a year but clearly it has no effect. The sheer scale of the problem cannot be fixed by trying to find people breaking "the rules" because there are no rules to begin with.

Attempting to fix this within the framework of government would be incredibly distracting for the state, as it'd lead to endless fights and debates. For example, a reasonable person appointed to run the NSF might conclude they should just defund whole subfields of the social sciences, because there's no way to make them scientific at all, but good luck lasting in the job if you do that. A big part of the problem is that scientists are in hoc to a specific political ideology, so they will have powerful friends in Washington who want to see them stick around producing useful propaganda.
So if I'm not using the Hue app, am I affected? That's what isn't particularly clear from the post or the comments here. If you're already using their app, is it so onerous to get an account? (I might or might not get an account, the Hue kit is already sitting on my shelf collecting dust, but I was thinking of using Urbit or some other open source project to resurrect it soon... so does this affect us?)
I love the idea of matrix (synapse + element + mobile apps) and I have started moving my family there too but we had so many problems with notifications not being sent to the phone unless you actively open the app.

There is a huge discussion about that on git and some can't reproduce, some can't get a single notification even though the apps notification checkmarks were all green.

So it had a very very low WAF [1] and I scrapped it sadly. This was a few years ago, any signs of these problems still existing?

> you expect the change to be immediate, even though the code is actually running on a pipeline that could be dozens of instructions deep, with several layers of cache between the core and system memory.

I expect the hardware to handle cache coherency in that situation. What the compiler does should be irrelevant.
Fortunately all of their lights work over a standard Zigbee connection. No need for a Hue Hub or App at all. I was already transitioning my lights from using the Hue Hub/App to directly connecting via Zigbee/HomeAssistant before this was announced.
And the winners in this are China and Russia.
Maybe in the beginning. Taking an OSS package, cloning its wire protocol, and then offering their closed source almost-compatible version without having to contribute anything back upstream earns them a lot of animosity.
Why will they need a good explanation? Can't they just say I lucked out and the burden of proving insider trading would fall on the SEC? Innocent until proven guilty right?
> From first principles, you should always expect that regulation increases prices and the burden of proof is to argue why it would not

I don’t see how that is true.

I bet you could get what you want if you are willing to pay $10 billion.
Yep. I wrote a longer comment elsewhere in this thread so I won't repeat myself, but I think people attributing this to just surveillance obsession and nosiness are a little off the mark. If anything I would say the public have to share a fair bit of the blame here - there are constant demands that the public sector Do Something to Protect Our Children from abuse (independent of any statistics on frequency and whether the Something actually reduces it) which leads to an overzealous obsession with Safeguarding, and then teachers are trained to err on the side of oversuspicion, and know they may be raked over the coals if they fail to report when in doubt. So I'm afraid to say this is what a significant amount of the public demanded
Well, they are not speaking positively about C/C++ in context.

That's definitely a thing. But alarms go off in my head when I think about query latency and cost. Can't imagine running 1k qps while sending every single one to GPT or LLama - thats the stuff of production nightmares for me!

If you've got less demand and have a couple queries a second, then maybe it's OK - but you're probably adding a good second on top of your query latency.
how much of the difference is attempts vs successful? Men tend to be more successful, as I understand it - I doubt that it would account for the entire discrepency, but might reduce the gap a little
This guideline is in accordance with other guidelines, and that guides the teaching of theory and practice.
Quite true.

But such things do exist, you just have to vet things first.

For example, stick to a non-rolling distro, such as debia n stable. Everything there will have around 3 years support, with all the security updates done for you.

Debian backports almost all security patches, or sticks with an LTS variant of something (like php) for its lifetime.

No surprise API changes, no sudden need for code changes.

So many people use the latest shiny, and literally only because they're told to. Many need nothing from that bleeding edge version.

When it comes to frameworks, some have LTS versions, stick with those.

And things like node? Heh.

Fetching logs regularly sounds hard? Wouldn't you need to keep track of the position of all files, with heuristics around file rotations? And if something catastrophic happens, the most interesting data would be in that last block which couldn't be polled?

Normally you'd avoid all that complexity by shipping logs the other way, sending from each machine. That way you can keep state locally should you need to. All unix-like systems do this out of the box, and almost all software supports the syslog protocol to directly stream logs. But you can also use something like filebeat and a bunch of other modern alternatives.

The analyzer can then run locally on the log server and a whole lot of complexity just disappears.
It's high past time we have an agency with real teeth to regulate the software industry.

Big Pharma also often handles the clinical trials and approvals. I don't know if there is a mechanism for a public lab to get approval for a medicine? Probably if we found a way to drive down the cost of clinical trials, we'd be able to structure the system in a way to eliminate the middle-men here, but that's much easier said than done.

South Africa stopped investing in energy infrastructure. This is $500m investment. That is a substantial difference.
I mean $500M is something but not that much when it comes to shutting down all coal plants and replacing it with renewable energy. Thats about 500-650 MW of production -- half the size of a standard Nuclear facility (1GW).

It certainly helps though. And I bet that he's getting a pretty sweet tax break ;)
...as opposed the alternative, a plan to turn the US into somewhere that has perpetual and disastrous wildfires and hurricanes.
Oh, but it does matter. Insider trading is a kind of theft. A theft from the person or company that had the info and (generally) whose trust you violated.

If you develop the info yourself (say, monitoring how full parking lots are at a store to predict earnings), that is fine.

Insider trading is about theft of information, not fairness.

What the debate about Neanderthals reveals about us
Yeah it’s quite common on most interop boundaries because there is always some amount of marshalling. It used to be a thing in Unity that it was significantly faster to run your own tick for all entities from a manager that hooked the callback from native code than to have to cross back and forth n entity times.

For anything you’re doing in WASM it’s much better to batch and cross the boundary as little as possible in hot loops. For example a performant renderer wouldn’t translate all the API calls but put together a command buffer to be returned to JS and then forwarded to the API in one go.
Seem like time to start prioritizing projects like restoring an old car, maybe even pre-ECU/fuel injected, or doing an electric conversion, just so we an have a car that is a car and not a spyware platform.

I can certainly appreciate how a car company would find all the data fantastic for legit purposes of understanding how their products are used and improving the products. But the externalized costs on the customer of the inevitable data breaches... at least make the data connection and collection opt-in.

element still has serious usability issues that need to be fixed before i can get friends or family on board.

the way threads are displayed in the browser versions makes them hard to follow. in our hackerspace, where many are tech minded people, i see regular complaints about that.

scrollback to unread messages often fails. i have never had another chat application where that was a problem. this should just work.

the handling of encryption keys is very confusing. there are to many moving parts, it's not clear what i must save so that i can restore the keys in a new client.

private rooms are also confusing. i want to have a private room be the name of my chat partner, and they want it to carry my name. being able to do that would be very helpful.

i am also missing the ability to use a different nickname in every room. different groups know me under different nicknames. discord and wechat can do it. it would be great if matrix/element could do that too.

Start a Data Engineering Career

If their tech decides it doesn't like my de-googled phone, then it becomes no longer optional.
True, but we're already paying for not having it.
Not specifically, no.

I was born and raised in a place where the nearest grocery store was ~30 miles away. The median annual household income in 2000 was <$30k. My senior class in high school consistent of 32 people. I literally visited the homes of classmates who had dirt floors and no running water.

People who live in those areas have access to automobiles. Most of them have at least one operable vehicle per family; those that don't cooperate with friends, family, and neighbors to get what they need. To this day I regularly pick up hitchhikers when I'm driving through the area.

I think the real argument here is that the term "food desert" seems much more extreme than the experience actually is. None of those people are going hungry because they can't get to the grocery store. The few that are going hungry, are going hungry because they're so strung out on drugs that they aren't capable of planning ahead even 24 hours.

In other words, the lack of easy access to resources isn't the issue - it's the relatively large number of adults in poverty who are in that situation because of their own behavior. Whether they're capable of changing that behavior isn't the point here - they would be in a similar situation even if they were literally next door to a grocery store.

You cannot achieve research and educational goals by attacking others.
If you are in the USA, rule 10b5-1 of the SEC [1] "allows insiders of publicly-traded corporations to set up a trading plan for selling stocks they own". Despite the description in the link, as I understand it you can also buy more stock as long as you announce it well in advance. It is explicitly meant to allow people who cannot avoid having non-public information about a stock to still trade in that stock. By forcing them to publicly announce well in advance what they intend to trade and when, the idea is that they then cannot do the short term high risk trading that you need to really profit from insider trading.

I find no issue that the company is working with law-enforcement to provide secure communications. In fact this makes me feel better about the security of those communications as they are trusted by these governments (not that this is a huge mark of quality, but I would consider it positive).

I your distrust of law-enforcement so strong that any company that they purchase from must be untrustworthy? Or is there another reason that this bothers you?
Indeed. Individuals doing their bit is great. But structural problems (such as the undue influence of the fossil fuel lobby) need structural solutions (such as tax and legislation). A change of culture can also work, but that can take a long time.
COVE Prompt in action!
If the person seeking proofing is enrolled in Global Entry or PreCheck, the USPS could support automated facial recognition proofing at USPS kiosks, as CBP maintains facial biometrics for trusted traveler programs. Can USPS kiosks run a sandboxed app to do this? Can you trust the data connection between the kiosk and federal agency systems with such sensitive data? Great questions.

Definitely a stretch goal considering resourcing, inter agency partnership challenges, and uptake of trusted traveler programs across the general populace, but not technically infeasible. TSA is already testing automated credential proofing terminals at airport checkpoints, for example, and CBP Global Entry terminals for international arrivals are already automated kiosks.
