I'm at 2 hours in and my head is truly starting to spin. These people are unhinged and once again, everyone at the top is making off like bandits.
Scratch is a gentle introduction to programming, aimed mainly at young children. I taught it to a range of children and all of them were able to create a simple game in under an hour.
I made a bidirectional pedalling exercise bike. Turns out there isn't much difference between forwards and backwards, but you do need to adjust the seat back by about 6 inches if you want maximal power output for backwards pedalling.
Homeless people are known for having so much free time and energy that an hour of pedalling is a better solution than the two cents of wall power needed to charge things while they sit and correspond with potential employers, deal with paperwork, pay bills, figure out their kid’s school plans, and working out how to keep their healthcare without a full address.

I dunno… this “idea” feels so ignorant that it’s basically offensive.
"Other person is bad" is not an excuse, especially when your entire company's position is "we're not those guys".

The best escape hatch I've seen for this kind of organizational issue is UpWork. You get UpWork approved as a vendor, then you can spend your own department's budget hiring whatever random contractor you need. Yeah you might spend $1500 on a two hour dev task, but at least it's getting done immediately instead of blocking your whole project for 6 months.

At a certain point a default behaviour can be so bad, and so clearly not what a user would expect or want, that it constitutes a security issue. I would think this _more_ than qualifies.

I hope not. It was meant to be sprinkled on the top after oil and salt has been added. Besides’ we didn’t know that it was toxic. I read about it in my chemistry book and it is available in a medical store.

I am more worried about people keeping insecticides in husked and unhusked rice. Trace amounts of insecticides is very common in grains here. I hope this improves soon since epigenetic changes due to insecticides are very significant.

Update: I looked at wiki after one more comment pointed out toxic nature of kmno4. It wasn’t purple in colour but white. I am definitely recalling the name wrong.

My knowledge about myself (consciousness, free will...), is infinitely more reliable than any of "Scientific" input no matter what is the "impact factor" of the publishing medium, so really no amount of "science" can be enough to disprove those very basic principles that everything else is built upon them.

FWIW Baker has been a disaster for way longer than that but it was definitely one of the loudest "I am absolutely unfit for this position" statements to date.
I was always very clear at that time "this is a startup" - "do not use DO for mission critical work" - "the product is not very mature yet" - we had no sales team, nothing in our marketing was gear towards business and we primarily catered to students/personal sites/etc. I'd accept your analogy except we regularly said "use AWS for important stuff, not us".
That's indirectly what I think too we ought to look for, personally I believe forming a family is and always will be a form of investment, maybe not an investment of wealth in this day and age, but a investment of a social group.

In some sense I think we've lost a lot of that interest and instead tried a more individual approach to rationalizing forming a family.

And also the old family structure we used to have, has not been able to adapt to the standard that the modern world and challenges demand of us.

Sanctuary App – Decentralized file storage / sharing
Hello, I had an idea to use Storj.io to backup my photos of my baby and ... well... I had to build an app to do it! At least in the way I envisioned wanting to use it.

How is it different?

Sanctuary encrypts your data before it leaves the phone directly to the Storj gateway. The only information we hold onto in our backend is the metadata about the file (e.g., lat/lng, file creation date, size, etc…).

Sanctuary never stores the user’s encryption key, called the “sanctuary key”. This feature is what sets it apart from others that might claim they take your data privacy seriously, but at the same time, are the holders of that actual data.

Your Data (company I founded for this) has sought to flip this around with Sanctuary – the user owns the key hence the user owns the data. In our Storj bucket, we have blobs of data we know some metadata about, but certainly cannot see the contents.

This presents a hazard to the user – lose your key and you lose everything. That hazard, however, is comforting to many who don’t want their data to fall into the hands of the wrong employees / users. After all, how many celebrity leaks has there been? Somewhere, the data was sitting at rest unencrypted for many incidents I would guess. For Your Data, it’s double encrypted (user’s key & our key with Storj) and in pieces around a network in various hard drives… so not easy to hack!

This has been a year in the making and a remarkable achievement for us. We are a 2 man team, myself on iOS / business & another on API/Android (who actually did the Ruby Storj.io bindings!). Any support, feedback or guidance is very appreciated as we continue our mission to have the PEOPLE own the data!

(For Android – our app is still in development and is expected early 2024)

My favorite regional 'fast food joint' is "Cookout" (NC/Tenn). Not only is the Big Double Tray a fantastic & delicious value... they have a hand-washing sink immediately next to the ordering line (so you can wash your hands while waiting).

More places need such accessible facilities.

It's definitely not the status quo. But you know, the world is in a shitty position (war, climate crisis, ecological disasters, etc), so maybe the status quo is to be blamed after all and look - that we do need change.
And people can shit on Brave (Eich's next browser venture) but the reality is that they're doing a pretty incredible job. TOR integration alone is a pretty radical privacy control, and you can say "oh but crypto" but they're at least trying to figure out how to make money independent of Google, unlike Mozilla. Brave actually tries to create a monetizable web without ads, Mozilla literally relies on the status quo for all of its revenue.

Yes, at least here in Australia there are a lot of libraries, churches and other public places where charging is available.

So I just tested it again (took a while as forgot needed the -crlf option in s_client)

So, gmail does rewrite the From: header (well it keeps the name, but replaces the email within the <brackets> and adds a X-Google-Original-From header), and as this story is about senders (not receivers), spoofing would be protected in that regard.

However, what I remember now, is that I was proving that it doesn't tell you anything if the person in the To: was actually sent the mail.

i.e. even though DKIM protects the "To:" and "From:" headers it has nothing to do with the Rcpt To: (i.e. think how BCC works). So DKIM doesn't prove that an email was actually sent to someone (even if its on their machine now), just that someone might have faked a scheme where they sent an email with a To in the headers to someone, but the RCPT TO was not that person. So, it get signed as such, but isn't true. And in the case of gmail, the only reason there's any form of protection on the From: header is because gmail enforces a level of protection outside of dkim.

So what I must have done back then, was send people emails that looked like they were meant for Hunter Biden to receive that had all the DKIM validation check out, but were obviously never sent to him. (with all that said, for someone to have actually done this to Hunter Biden, they would have had to be playing such a long game, it's almost inconceivable to me, I was just proving that DKIM doesn't actually tell you if the supposed recepient is actually the receipient when sent via gmail, but as others have noted, if the From: header in the email isn't as locked down as gmail (and I'm sure not all are) / one knows of an exploit in gmail to subvert the From header in place editing, then it doesn't even help with that).

anyways, I apologize for exaggeration in my original post, its wasn't quite accurate. I hope I cleared up any confusion I caused.

ADO was dead, until customers told Microsoft ADO wasn’t dead.

Once Microsoft learned that ADO was not, indeed, dead, they began to reformulate the path forward for ADO and have actually released a fair amount of preview and release features since the pivot back.

Enterprises like ADO and even when ADO was “legacy”, MSFT continued to see an uptick in adoption. ADO has better integration with Azure, at least for the web app space I play in.

This article contains various unfounded statements.

The manuscript that it refers to does not contain any calculations concerning superconducivity of the material, so it cannot say anything about it aside from vague guesses. There are no manuscripts I know on arXiv that contain calculations that suggest the material "should" be superconducting. This paper and several other discuss flat bands, but as noted in https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.05143 and elsewhere flat bands are no reason to expect superconductivity, especially the kinds that this material supports.

So there is no theoretical support for this material to be in any way good for superconductivity.

There is also no good experimental support. The crystal structure suggested in the original papers has been reproduced, but is found to be an insulator. Reproduction attempts of superconducting features have universally failed, and alternative explanations for the original measurements (which are fairly sloppy) exist. So there's not much reason to believe there ever was anything interesting there.
AI from a Legal Perspective
Don't forget there's a difference between what people say they believe and what they actually believe. Do you really think the average Christian believes in heaven and the word of Christ? If they truly believed it I don't know how they'd sleep at night. Or perhaps they are all addicted to a lifestyle they believe will send them to hell for all eternity? Either way, what people say and how they behave often reflect wildly different beliefs. I tend to believe what they believe is reflected in their actions, not their words.

I'm American so as ignorant as I'm sure this sounds... Are the people who become homeless in London doing so for significantly different reasons than over here? Because most of the homeless in my city (a fairly large California coastal) aren't significantly engaged in any of the things you're alluding to and frankly would probably be happier with a bike that charged their phones since the ones who aren't just living in tents outside the 'clinic' typically roam the tourist districts to pan handle. The main issue I imagine that might be inconvenient for them is the ease of theft.

- Remove the vase and put it behind you.

- Looking at the now empty table, try to remember the look of the vase on it.

This is how it 'feels' being able to put imagined objects into your FOV. You don't get to actually see it, but you can imagine what it's like to do it.
