Fruits are not calorically dense. A huge ripe pear can be incredibly delicious and sweet, and only has like 100 calories. The best peach you've ever eaten is like 60-80. It would be pretty challenging to eat a calorically problematic portion of them.

A better example is probably nuts. Nuts are super calorically dense, and it's easy to loads of them.
"Whenever someone subsequently edits that photo, the changes are recorded to an updated manifest, rebundled with the image, and updated in the Content Credentials database whenever it is reshared on social media. Users who find these images online can click on the CR icon in the [pictures'] corner to pull up all of this historical manifest information as well, providing a clear chain of providence, presumably, all the way back to the original photographer."

Fat chance. I can think of exactly zero examples where a photo shared on social media, or even on Whatsapp, has its metadata intact. This is frustrating to me because often it's the only way to get a photo from computer illiterates, and I like my EXIF data, specifically, the exact time/date the picture was taken.
> This blocker is designed to monitor advertisements, automatically seek the ads and skip them. It's important to note that this doesn't classify as traditional ad blocking, as the ad content is technically "loaded". Nevertheless, the extension's underlying logic enables it to fast-forward through the ad content to its conclusion. The entire process is optimized to occur within an extremely brief timeframe, typically <=50 milliseconds, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted user experience.

Why would I want to use some new random add-on that may be (or may become) malicious and doesn't even really block ads when uBlock Origin is a well established and trusted add-on that does the job perfectly well and works for far more than just youtube?

I'm all for having options, and I like that this project takes a different approach to the problem, but since installing random add-ons already carries a degree of risk there's just no reason to use it while better and more trustworthy options are still working.
In general? Probably not measurable.

In neighborhoods or cities that happen to sit under take-off or approach paths for, or downwind of, very-busy airports that see a lot of prop plane traffic? Maybe a measurable amount.

SQLite is cute and very appropriate in certain cases:

- Local storage for a mobile/desktop app, instead of a DIY file type.
- Local cache storage for a distributed system, instead of a DIY file type.

While you can use it as a general backend, and some people work hard to make it usable in distributed systems, it continues to be a fancy elaborate project to turn SQLite into something it isn't. It's a thought experiment that happens to get corporate funding. It's fun and interesting in the same way as Dogecoin is.

There's plenty of free DBaaS these days that are frankly incredible and FREE. I work for one, so might sound like I'm chilling that space. But I recently went to work for one exactly because I think the new offerings are an incredible leap forward in developer productivity, and there's a lot of cool stuff to be done here. I could instead have gone to work for one of those who are working on SQLite, but I just don't believe they're real products for real web workloads. They're a marketing catch for curious learners and experimenters. I respect the intellectual curiosity but it's not how I would build anything.

You can just add lead to unleaded gas (which was legal until 1996 in the US), so even if you could convince them to be altruistic in this way others could just work around it.

For context, my younger sibling has offer from them and asked my take on it.

Personally, I believe that the company is overvalued at 86 billion. Even if they were to reach that valuation in 5 years, from an employ compensation angle, one would make about the same if one were to work at a public tech company.

To add to it, they are fairly small and will likely be chaotic with low work life balance.

Considering all this, will you advice someone to join them now?

I see it more as an effort to discriminate more based on ideology and less on phenotype, and that's a great thing assuming it can be implemented well (dubious).

We want to live in a world with no discrimination of people's rights based on their hardware, because that's generally not changeable. But we will absolutely still continue to discriminate on the software running in your brain, because not only is that changeable, but certain software is incompatible with the social order that gives us the privilege to rise above our baser nature.
Thanks! There's a few points of difference in terms of approach/philosophy.

Firstly, I really wanted to focus on usability. So there's a native UI on each platform, using GTK on Linux, and SwiftUI on MacOS. This means that we can integrate fully with the desktop, and adhere more easily to the human interface guidelines on each platform. I'm also not necessarily trying to go for 1-1 feature parity with Burp, so that I can keep the UI simpler (especially where good standalone tools exist).

I'm trying to target it to be more resource-friendly. Some of my pentesting colleagues at work struggle to run all of their tools in less than 32GB of RAM, and most need 16GB of RAM, and Burp is a not insignificant contributor to that. By comparison, I've been primarily testing this in a Kali VM with 2GB of RAM allocated, and while it doesn't always run smoothly, it often runs pretty well.

Lastly, there's embedded automation with Python scripts. There's a number which are built in, but it's also easy to expand on those and create your own. You can use those for reconnaissance, custom discovery of vulnerabilities or exploitation. I've got plans to expand that engine and capability even further.
If nothing else, this monitor is a good way to counteract the problems that come from working in otherwise-underlit workspaces, since it simply won't work there.

I don't think engineers made it a dirty word. I think the marketing industry did.
> Are foreigners not allowed to criticize anything?

This seems fairly disingenuous. Nobody said foreigners shouldn't be allowed to criticize anything. Rather, the "for" argument is that their criticism should be analyzed to see if it would be detrimental to let them into the country.

"My house" isn't exactly a good analogy for "the country", but to be overly simplistic

1. Your house is an ugly color

2. Your house is a blight on the land; you should be tossed to the street and it burned to the ground

Those are both criticisms of the the house. They are entirely different things to consider when deciding whether that person should be allowed in the house.

Fair enough! But have you heard of 2 cases?
Smart speaker data is used in ways you might not expect
Arsenic is naturally found in most water to varying degrees. It is an essential but poorly understood micronutrient. Its toxicity is similar to selenium, another essential micronutrient, so it isn't unique in terms of the dose response. Some plants concentrate it but that usually isn't bioavailable.

Background lead levels are sometimes high naturally but those geographies are relatively rare. Lead is usually industrial pollution.

Mercury chemistry in nature tends to have very poor bioavailability. Dietary mercury is almost exclusively industrial pollution where mercury is integrated into molecules that are much more bioavailable.
People are reaching for expense, but I think that's the wrong explanation, it's cost/availability + palatability + caloric density. Olive oil has maybe one or two of those, but it's missing the key ingredient of palatability. Not many people want to guzzle olive oil.

Huh, there’s nothing detailing the search for the alleged seasonal pond in the article. Just that they hiked for a while. They didn’t even say “we didn’t find it”. I feel like a chapter was left out!

Did they go in the right season? Did they find any ponds but no boulder?

The article did little to convince me it’s a hoax, though I don’t believe it’s real either.

If you are seeing unreasonably fast read throughput, it is likely that reads are being served from the ARC. If your workload will benefit from the ARC, you may be seeing valid numbers. If your workload will not benefit from the ARC, set primarycache=metadata on the dataset and rerun your test, potentially with a pool export/import or reboot to be sure the cache is cleared.

The fact that fio has a bunch of options doesn’t make the tool unreliable. Not understanding the tool or what you are testing makes you unreliable as a tester. The tool is reliable. As you learn you will become a more reliable tester with it.
There are probably many possible methods to detect a picture being of a display rather than the real world. The easiest clues are depth of field and focal length metadata mismatching (presumably a macro lens or similar would be needed, and also presuming lens metadata is not spoofable and included in the signed metadata). Color accuracy will be subtly off. Cameras can detect more dynamic range depth than most (any) screens can create particularly for outdoor scenes. That’s just what I can come up with right now - scientists will have a field day publishing techniques to detect pictures of screens.

Inserting fake sensor readings is plausible but complicated enough I doubt any but state actors would or could bother.

Even this standard only raises the cost to create fake images to 100K would be fantastic for journalism and democracy. Much better than the cost being $0.

3) cost

I think most of the other posters are missing it.

Walmart is known for having ... characters in its stores. Think severely obese woman wearing a bikini. Walmart will let anyone in and anyone includes some wild people because wild people exist.

Costco requires a yearly membership and a contract. If you come sauntering in wearing assless chaps you're likely to get kicked out, your contract revoked, and being unable to ever shop there again.

The comparison being made was trying for a specific audience and excluding those outside of that audience (Costco) vs trying to appeal to as large an audience as possible, which means accepting things that most people wouldn't otherwise accept (Walmart).

Eh? No. Turbine (i.e. jet) aircraft engines burn Jet-A, which is essentially kerosene and doesn't have any lead in it. Jet-A is not avgas. Reciprocating piston aero engines use 100 octane low lead avgas (today). That's the subject of the EPA thing in the article.

It's not scarce enough that we couldn't use it for grid storage, but it is scarce enough that we very likely won't.

It's a perfectly fine point to make, and it's one of the things worth optimizing.
Our OpenStack storage back-end at about ten+ storage servers, each with (IIRC) dozen+ disks eacho.
A DB server won't have to go to disk for every query, sqlite almost always will, or at least reach out from user space to virtual memory, which is still slower than reading from a buffer table.

So ya, in process is faster for trivial stuff. But it's not faster when doing heavier workloads that benefit from things being in memory or having a better query planner.
> We want to live in a world with no discrimination of people's rights based on their hardware, because that's generally not changeable.

The First Amendment is rather exactly about not doing that.
I've done some time in solitary. It is a weird thing. My first time I was totally unprepared and so sat naked in a cold, empty cell for a couple of days before I could improve my situation. As with anything, you learn, and my second time I managed to kick a book into my cell without the jailers noticing as they put me in there. A book is 14 hours of entertainment for your brain.

Solitary is designed as "prison within prison." It is for offenses committed inside jail or prison. Because you are already confined and fucked-up in prison they have to have somewhere even more confined and fucked-up for you to go if they don't like what you do. Obviously when you're in solitary there is nowhere lower for you to go, so all they can do then is mess with your head.

Last year I was put in solitary confinement in a jail for violation of a jail rule, even though I was living at my home. I think this is perhaps the first time that has happened in US history?

I had sent a magazine to a friend in the jail. The jail alleged that it must have drugs on it because it smelled funny. It didn't. It was just the fresh ink. They charged me with two jail infractions "Abuse of the mail" and "Endangerment of public safety". Two offenses that are published nowhere. And certainly would only apply to someone who was already inside the jail, not someone living at home. A newspaper got hold of the story and asked the jail if they had done any tests on the magazine, which of course they had not.

After a week of me writing grievances they eventually released me from solitary, realizing they had grossly violated my constitutional rights.

Edit: Just to note, all my times in solitary were for activism; taking on my jailers for their misdeeds and unlawful activities.
>She makes a nuanced argument here.

Are we referencing the same video? I do not believe there is a nuanced argument in a < 1 minute cartoon. It's a very sophomoric argument predicated on a misunderstanding. The reason why I put the specific law verbiage in my first reply is to underscore the fact that the law regarding intellectual property is not about her central claim in the video (having access to a good) but about providing an incentive to "promote the progress of science and useful arts."

>I provided a reference so you can confirm the context for yourself.

People seem to have the misconception that the founding fathers were a monolith. They weren't. They had varying opinions on virtually every issue in the Constitution. But what matters is what was codified into law. If law could be undermined by finding a founding father with a dissenting opinion, the Constitution would have been in tatters years ago.
> Between that and Walmart having narrower aisles than most stores, the place feels busy even when there aren't many people in it.

It's not just the stores, the parking lots are like that too. I won't refuse to go to wal-mart, but unless I'm lazy or it's an emergency, I will absolutely drive by one to shop at Target, Best Buy, etc.
No. I am interested in if it is financed by investors that believes in him and the project, or his parents that might value supporting their child higher than putting money behind a good investment.

> What I do think would be awesome would be an embeddable Postgres library/binary that could use a single state file on your local filesystem for development

I wired Postgres up for our local dev. I don't believe in mocking the database, so all our tests and local dev run against a real Postgres instance.

The main tricks:

- Store the Postgres installation in a known location.

- Set the dynamic loader path to the installation lib dir, e.g., LD_PRELOAD.

- Don't run CI as root (or patch out Postgres' check for root)

- Create and cache the data directory based on the source code migrations.

- Use clone file to duplicate the cached data directory to give to individual tests.

One thing I'd like to pursue is to store the Postgres data dir in SQLite [1]. Then, I can reset the "file system" using SQL after each test instead of copying the entire datadir.

Royal assent has not been unilaterally withheld by the monarch for more than 300 years. The role of the Monarch has been a ceremonial over for a very long time. Even if they wanted to rock on the boat now, the result would be uncertain.

Of course the Monarch can enter the visitor gallery, but, as you say, they would enter it as a citizen of the UK, not in their function as monarch.

I'd attribute the deficiencies of the UK's democratic system more to the first-past-the-post voting system, which causes government to be answerable to the winning coalition, not to the whole Parliament. Integrity in Parliament has been going downhill everywhere, not just in the UK.

> Even Intel and AMD I think outdo Apple ARM now on single core.

Yeah they do currently. But, if the single-core performance jump we see between A15 and M2 (same architecture), about 25%, can be replicated between A17 and M3, we should expect Apple to retake the single-core performance lead, as M2 is only ~8-12% behind. Its not unreasonable to expect a perf jump like this, given its mostly just shoving more watts through the same core architecture, and Apple's tremendous efficiency lead gives them more headroom to do that than Intel's 14th gen over 13th.

Its also a totally valid question whether M3 will be based on A17 or A16. I'm not sure if we have strong rumors to point one way or the other. We'll know more next week.
