The gist of it seems to be that Synapse/Dendrite calls home to the Matrix Company, which in turn pays Google to send a notification. That's awfully nice of them, but does not really leave any room for success. I take it larger clients with security requirements roll their own clients, and this is part of the business case?
There’s no such thing as trusting a brand - trust community effort only. That’s my rule where possible. If stuff doesnt work end to end with open solutions i am not buying it. I mean these companies take our money and then treat us as if we are the product?
At best it would have to be flagged for review, at which point someone would have to check it somehow. Otherwise you'd end up deleting a bunch of totally fine roads that simply aren't frequently used by people who send their locations to Google.
The problem is that browsers are the biggest attack vectors but also the most valuable targets. Getting a user's email password or cookie is probably the most damaging thing they could get unless you're the type to buy cryptocurrencies.
I don't get the praise for webp either. Out of images I see, jpg has better details preserved than webp.
As someone that used to run a big app - this is effective. Upper management really cares about ratings/reviews/comments
There were all kinds of standards, guidelines that made people recognize what the program is doing and how to operate it. Nowadays, UIs are mostly defective, trying its best to hinder effective usage and hide/strip functionality. There are of course progress too, but something was lost that make applications today much less intuitive and hard/tough to use.
Lol yea! Come to think of it it might even be preferable to have cartels replace law enforcement everywhere. Just think, no restrictions on drugs of any kind, and if anyone makes a fuss, just shoot them. Genius, sweet and simple.

Oh, I've run into this a bunch of times. Once you figure out "OutOfMemoryException" just means "misconfigured a plaintext listener for an SSL listener", it's no big deal.

We never actually investigated, but my assumption is some part of the SSL handshake contains a big number where the plaintext protocol parser is expecting a buffer size, which it then proceeds to try to allocate.
I'm fully aware that most NFTs are worthless. I never claimed otherwise. I was merely observing the faulty logic of collecting "evidence" for a position with this kind of "heads i win, tails you lose" tomfoolery.

The allocation of profits down to specific activities depends on the allocation of revenues and expenses amongst activities, and all such allocations are inherently arbitrary. They depend on the stories we tell.
Splunk is so expensive and slow. My workplace keeps trying throttle queries and how far back logs are stored. Been spending the last month or so adding ELK stack for tracing to our apps.
> How is this even legal is beyond me.

It's the same argument as people who say Google should be allowed to censor whoever they want. "They're a private company, they can do whatever they want. Nobody is forcing you to use their services."

Clearly, in many areas of life, politics and the legal system needs to be realigned with the modern technological landscape. But so far, it seems most such efforts are pushing things in the exact wrong direction.
So default state of the world?
"In what other industry would the market tolerate such well-understood and severe dangers for users of products for decades?"

The DoD funded Ada which curiously is not mentioned here.

The above sentence is also strange because it is not "the market" that "tolerates" dangers to the user (customer). It is the legislature that tolerates it. If it's legal and triggers no civil liability for a manufacturer to "sell" (a license to) a product that is dangerous, then why would it refrain from doing so. And further what if the customer has no viable alternative to "purchasing" (a license to) the dangerous product.

Sell and purchase are in quotes in the event we are referring to either (a) so-called "tech" companies that derive necessary revenue not from software (license) sales but from advertising services sales and/or (b) software companies that sell licenses to OEMs (customers) rather than directly to users. In neither case does the user actually purchase the software (license). In these cases, even if we assume, correctly or incorrectly, that users are "the market", it is arguable they have no meaningful choice of viable alternatives. This might explain why they "tolerate" dangerous software. If we assume, correctly or incorrectly, that advertisers or OEMs are "the market" then, as above, they "tolerate" dangerous software because legislatures have not made this illegal or a source of civil liability.

>the wealthy should risk their money in order to invest in more sustainable economies for those less developed nations. That would solve the problem, right?

No. This seems incoherent to me - you are blaming the wealthy for inaction due to their greed, then claiming those same greedy people would be able to solve the problem if they invested in developing economies.

It seems far more likely that they would just use those investments as new avenues for control / extraction, as we've seen for centuries. Or are you expecting those greedy wealthy people to just start being altruistic?

I'm not claiming to have a solution. It's very tricky and I doubt a neat solution exists, unless we stumble unto some incredible new technology. It's about tradeoffs instead, and then that becomes a political question. The answer isn't "blame the rich."
My university (UNSW in Australia) had a compulsory “Ethics for software engineers” course as part of my CS degree. It was shockingly interesting and relevant. We studied various ethical frameworks, went through case studies about bad software killing people and had class debates and things.

An ethics course is no panacea. But what I learned in ethics has been far more useful in my career than a lot of my hard CS subjects.
That's.... quite a reach your making. Both writing off the causes in that article as just "toxic masculinity", and describing a mayo clinic article on depression as "the left"
Well, it's not great, but could be a viable solution until a scheme is devised that is guaranteed not to lose any notifications, which would be worse.

This is fantastic! Just used it to knock off five quick tasks. I don't have ADHD (to the best of my knowledge), but I do love a running timer to help me focus.

It reminds me a lot of an old tool put out by Harvest (time-tracking software) called Harvest Gardener. I used that tool every day until they sadly took it offline.

The big differences: Gardener showed you the entire list at once (not just a single task), and let you enter times for each task in advance (not as the task popped up). One other slick feature: you could enter the estimated time right on the task by nothing it in parentheses, e.g. "Pay electric bill (:05)"
That is interesting. In many English speaking cultures children will informally refear to their mother's parents and father's parents by different names even if formally they are both "grandmother", "grandfather" or "grandparent". I like that in China they formalised the names.
Lead roofing tends to get recycled into bullets in time of war, but those roofs that don't, are typically there forever (400+ years) and never leak. Some plastics are UV resistant due to additives but even copper struggles to compete with lead as a roofing material.

The statement you provided is an account of an experience. Unsure what you think you're proving or disproving, but vaccine data generally isn't represented in "A single person knows of it working or not"-style data.
Eh. Zero interest in theme parks. Maybe they would. Keep some population of tourists away from everything else though. I’ve spent a week just in zTokyo in the dog days of summer and have spent a bunch of time elsewhere in the country without going to Disney even being on my radar.
My grandmother's house still has asbestos in it ($400k house in New York). Short of tearing her house down and building a new one there's no way to fix that, but decades later I'm benefitting from the ban by living in an asbestos-free house built after the ban. Gotta start somewhere even if the benefit isn't felt by everyone at the same exact point in time. It would definitely benefit the rich first since they tend to be the ones building new property.
Four generations of men in my family have the same name other than suffix. At times three of them lived at the same address. It has caused a number of issues over the years, including unintended cross access to bank accounts. Despite the problems it sometimes creates, they seem to be amused by the confusion.
As it happens, the USPS actually has an online form for this service [0]. For instance, if I query "1600 pennsylvania avenue" in Washington, DC, then I get the full two-line address back on page 2, complete with the Zip+4 code:

1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVE NW
WASHINGTON DC 20500-0005

I've used this tool before to double-check some more wonky addresses before sending mail to them. I'd be surprised if they don't also offer an API for the service.

Fyi we did long parental leaves followed by home nannies followed by nanny share where we went to other house half of the time to eventually day care, then changed day cares.

It depends on the kid (outgoing, brave, high energy, can start daycare younger) but I like waiting 1 year for day care.
I used to live in WV and can attest that coal mining jobs have been on the decline for some time. The reason is because the equipment is bigger, better and they can mine more effectively resulting in needing way less workers. You can skip to the conclusion in the linked article [1] which states:

> What happened to coal jobs is even simpler. It is the same thing that happened throughout much of the country — productivity gains led to fewer workers needed to produce the same output.

Sure some people will re-train and join a new industry, but we still need heavy equipment operators for other construction sites. There is potential that a big mining site for lithium could open up [2], then we would need miners yet again. There will unfortunately be those who don't want to move or retrain that will instead resort to just doing drugs.

Personally I think we should welcome phasing out coal and, as policy, offer help to those who's jobs were displaced to prevent creation of meth towns.

One problem with a lot of the studies is that the studies have a lot of confoundeing and estimates of lead's harm seem to be rising even as exposure decreases, which should make people stop and think more. But this doesn't come up that much because it is obviously bad for you, and there's generally no good reason not to avoid exposure and not many people care about precisely how bad it is for you.

But it's weird that lead exposure has been dropping while the things it's supposed to cause don't seem to be decreasing in proportion to the lack of exposure.

> Now find a guide showing you how to do a thing for any of the BSDs. That guide is more usable on one of the other BSDs than any Linux guide is usable on a different distro.

That's simply not true in my experience. Sure, man pages for base utilities are usually interchangeable between BSDs, but the same is true on Linux.

When it comes to the system (init, networking, firewalling, package management, configuration, etc), BSDs are different enough that you'll need your own variant's documentation to make things work properly.

And again, Linux isn't that different there. More often than not a page on the Arch wiki will put you on the right track regardless of your distro of choice.

Got a notification from the Zoho Mail UI about the new feature. Went looking for more info and found these:

- Docs page for the new feature: https://www.zoho.com/mail/help/pgp.html

Can't help but raise an eyebrow at the docs' description of allowing Zoho to generate and control keypairs, though.
Intentional creation of carbon-rich dark earth soils in the Amazon
I think these have common solutions that don't require building more systems, running more queries and jacking up GPU bills, which is the direction we should be moving in at this point.

e.g. asymmetric embeddings, instruct-based embeddings, and retrieval-rerank all address parts of the problems the author is presenting, all while keeping things generally light on infra.
Some regulations limit prices or price increases, or create a more favorable environment for consumer price negotiation.

Some regulation may lead to negligible higher prices, so it bears asking not just is there an effect, but what is the magnitude of the effect. If minuscule, then we can ignore it.
I mean, it seems like it's working for them. Not every single startup needs the same solutions as a larger company, especially when the solution is as expensive as Splunk!

That's kinda-sorta what they all do already. Not full OS-level VM abstraction, but surprisingly close to it. Exploits like this need to be paired with sandbox-escaping in order to do damage beyond the current browsing session (which VMs wouldn't help with in the first place). And the distinction between sandbox-escaping and VM-escaping is rather thin.

It'd collapse from underpopulation and there'd be no guarantee that the survivors would be any smarter because "smart genes" interact in complex and nonlinear ways - if they didn't we'd have already evolved to a point they did due to the strong selective pressures already acting on us.
> But it sounds like humans were already submitting this and nobody was doing anything

This is what leads me to believe that there was a data fusion error. The scenario that sounds likely is that they successfully flagged the street aa unnavigable, then something happened in the intervening time (such as a May 2023 updated data collection) that convinced the map it had newer real-world-facts to contradict the older human reports.

I agree that StreetView isn't sufficient on its own. But if Google is doing any kind of AI analysis of the road images, StreetView collection is the highest-accuracy data they could possibly draw from. This smells like "We trusted our algorithm for going from road images and car path metadata to map construction and it failed us."

> think roads disappearing because they had construction on the day google street view was in the area or the driver missing an area of town and having it disappear from the map

That's two reasons they can't rely on only StreetView collection; they'd have to have an algorithm for fusing StreetView data with other data sources (including older StreetView runs).
Scandinavian languages have the same. »Mormor« (lit. mum mum) means maternal grandmother, while »farmor« (lit. dad mum) means paternal grandmother. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to continue beyond that (so no »mormormor«).
I like the enshitiffication terminology so kudos to that. Thanks for letting me know who he is.

That said I'm not a fan of knowledgable(is he knowledgable or is he a persona?) people in one domain stepping into the another domain and taking/using their previously earned clout as a way to push their agenda. I haven't seen great transition to the energy space from tech. It's especially worse as they get into the weeds.

Inferior service is usually cheaper.
The older I get the more I de-value "smart" things. I love dumb things. Lightbulb must be dumb. Incandescent lightbulbs were a direct evolution of candles and gas lamps leveraging on simple physical laws and principles. They were not very effective turning most of the energy into heat and LED light bulbs must have been great. But they bring electronics and multiply complexity. I already cannot just simply get a lightbulb. Because I need to take into account several different variables and characteristics of it (temperature, luminous flux, dimmability, trust into lamp lifetime claims and absence of flicker, etc.) And then some clowns bring even more electronics with all this wireless remote-controllable color changing lights. It is like wtf? Give me a simple lamp that will be dirt cheap to replace or will serve me a lifetime without me thinking about its guts.

Vote with your wallet. Don't support over-engineering.

P.S. Some of the best LED lightbulbs I have were installed in 2012 and they are still working with very small degradation of brightness. Nowadays whenever I need to buy a LED bulb it is like a lottery. Smart IoT light bulbs? Just plain no. As with the rest of the gimmicks.

So is the moral of the story is to build an entire OS like erlang's actor model? Doesn't that work by using lightweight threads and messaging passing between them. The supervisor gives each thread a certain amount of time to run and then puts the current thread on the back burner while the next thread runs for it's allotted time. I remember hearing it in an erlang talk by Joe Armstrong on Youtube. I can't remember which one though.

Back in 2011ish or so when npm was just getting started and Ruby on rails was all the rage. "Do not repeat yourself" was seen as a gold standard for programming. The end result has been a mess, particularly for npm. There were FAR too many articles talking about how "there's no such thing as too small a dependency" and talks given about how much a virtue it was to create "is-odd" or "is-even" "look you saved 3 lines of code that you don't have to test!"

Unfortunately, that compounded with browser of the era (Internet explorer...) having basically 0 support for modern javascript led to a proliferation of dependencies, polyfills, etc that are nearly impossible to remove from the ecosystem.

I've not seen a lot of node apologists that are fine with the current ecoystem. The problem is righting the ship is going to be terribly hard. Either existing frameworks/libraries need to go through the effort of saying "Ok, do I really need is-even, let's remove it" or we need new frameworks/libraries to abandon tools and the ecosystem in favor of fatter and fewer dependencies.

I think the issue all stems from the fact that before 2010ish, there was one library and one framework, jquery (Ok, there were others... but were there really?) and that added a good 1mb to any webpage. The notion was we do more with less if we had a bunch of smaller deps that didn't need to be brought in.
