cock.li is a pretty good E-Mail/VPS provider from what I heard. From their homepage:

> How can I trust you?
You can't. Cock.li doesn't parse your E-mail to provide you with targeted ads, nor does cock.li read E-mail contents unless it's for a legal court order. However, it is 100% possible for me to read E-mail, and IMAP/SMTP doesn't provide user-side/client-side encryption, so you're just going to have to take my word for it. Any encryption implementation would still technically allow me to read E-mail, too. This was true for Lavabit as well -- while your E-mail was stored encrypted (only if you were a paid member, which most people forget), E-mail could still technically be intercepted while being received / sent (SMTP), or while being read by your mail client (IMAP). For privacy, we recommend encrypting your E-mails using PGP using a mail client add-on like Enigmail, or downloading your mail locally with POP and regularly deleting your mail from our server.

Also, there's this quote from /g/:

Administering a mail host is sort of like being a nurse; there's a brief period at the start when the thought of seeing people's privates might be vaguely titillating in a theoretical sense, but that sort of thing doesn't last long when it's up against the daily reality of shit, piss, blood, and vomit.

Now that I think about it, administering a mail host is exactly like being a nurse, only people die slightly less often.

IMHO testers have a uniquely evil nature, that I as a 20+year developer can't cultivate. They are the devil, and break everything they touch. And I love every one of them.

They often know how to use the app in ways I couldn't even think of. They ask questions I wouldn't think of. They worry about things that wouldn't occur to anyone with an ounce of compassion.

Without them in place we as devs are really just letting our customers be the QA. We need them and I for one respect the hell out of them all.
> I got to unload and reload the driver to make them communicate through the network

Here are my unrequested 2 cents: if this solves the issue, have a systemd (or cron) timer do that for you. Sure it's duck tape, but it would make it way less painful than having to do it manually each week.
While those are the first ones would think of, they are not the only alternatives, specially in the embedded space.
This works by scanning public trackers it cannot work for private trackers.
The single-threaded nature of WPA2 AES-CCMP-128 is the reason (in addition to not wanting to embed known weak security protocols). The higher speeds and later standardization of Wi-Fi 6E (as compared to Wi-Fi 6) made this, in my opinion, a reasonable trade-off.

For Wi-Fi to survive, it must bring improvements in security protocols /and/ user experience (speed, coverage, and ease of setup). While I agree that security configuration should ideally not be tied to the physical characteristics of the link, security tends to lag, and the driver is user experience. So, if we want to have a high baseline of security, we have to tie it to the driver, the craving for a better user experience (higher speed and better spectrum utilization).

Good standards make trade-offs in the right places (both in time and space). Dumb standards miss the goal. I cannot say that this is a dumb standard when it is evident that trade-offs have to be made. Using WPA2 would have impacted cost of equipment, performance and security negatively.
How is this relevant to my comment?

As an Italian I agree that taxes are rather high, but enforcing them only on a subset of citizens while happily allowing another subset to easily avoid them is definitely not the solution.

I'd be much happier if the government enforced taxes for everyone, which would then allow it to either improve services or reduce taxes.
I have many other devices also on the same network: 2 iPads 24/7, Mac Mini 24/7, 2 Linux laptops running at least 16h/day, smartphones, PS3, PS4, etc etc... in a small apartment. I'm a city dweller, wifi routers trying to scream over each other, there are like 50 networks visible where I sit. But: if there is some interference, I would expect at least some other devices to expose the same behavior, at least occasionally. But exclusively only the Rpis are doing this - after 4-10 days of uptime, they just give up on the wireless network, without any error message or any other clue.

Nevertheless, I have done countless hours of troubleshooting and investigations, and not looking for more anymore. RPis are great for many things, and pretty crappy for many other things. I found their wireless capabilities to be on the crappier side.
Same here. A lot of Porn. Why are so many people torrenting porn? If there's one kind of Media that's ubiquitous on the free web it's porn.

My mistake. When Webriko is described as "free software", I assumed that it was open-source and I could run it on my own computer. Call be paranoid, but I prefer to not rely on other people's servers, etc.

Commercial real estate in general is in a slump with more people going WFH. Not really surprised WeWork is a casualty.

It didn't work like that though.

A pirate doesn't need to copy the Nintendo logo to make the disc functional, they just need to make 2 rectangular slots on each side of the disc.

Nintendo just arranged it so it fits nicely within their logo.
Here is the interesting thing - India never had the concept of static IPs for residential home Internet. You have to pay a premium to get one, request for one with reasoning and has to be "for commercial."

So, all of our neighbors shares IPs or are within a range. It is fun knowing what all of my neighbors and the a few blocks away are all downloading.
Setting aside the fact that I'd be witness to less deaths because I've chosen a more effective protocol for population control, I think letting them live out their lives isn't a net negative. Why would I expend energy ending lives if they don't impact mine?

Granted, there are times when euthanasia would be necessary. For example, feral dog populations in areas where the vulture population has died off, where they carry disease and attack passersby and the supply of food is basically uncontrollable, I get it. But that's a case I personally would preemptively qualify if I were considering it.
What's definitely interesting is the speed of the new gpt-4 turbo model. It is blazing fast, I would guess something like 3x or 4x the speed of 3.5 turbo.
Haven't seen the meme robot, but Flubber movie had a robot which used old movie clips to convey emotion.
I sencond this, better to implement encryption at the lower layers, so that people get protected regardless of how the upper layers are built/configured.
Is it a counterfeit if it's advertised as such? The harm of counterfeits is only when they're being passed off as the real thing. If the buyer is aware that it's counterfeit what's the issue?
If a government had a goal to prevent humans from reproducing and forcibly sterilized and cynically used the population they could reach to pressure and control the population they couldn't, it would be called genocide.
What? That's crazy! It's a real shame to not be on location in St. Pauls. It's a pretty important place in Britain's social history that deserves a higher profile instead of getting recast.

Odd considering Bristol is a popular place for filming TV/Movies because it's cheap and has a wide variety of modern/historic/shitty types of location that can work for period drama, gangsters or finance bros. ITV just has to do things in a shit way.
I love the design. Thank you for making this.

I like the fact that you have a lifetime plan. Given that this is a mobile app, having a lifetime plan is easier to pay-and-forget.

Hope you find success with this app.

Horw, Switzerland, 07 November 2023: Toradex, a leader in Industrial IoT, Edge, and embedded computing solutions, today announced the start of the early access program in collaboration with NXP® Semiconductors for the i.MX 95 Titan EVK - Toradex’s Evaluation Kit (EVK) based on NXP’s flagship i.MX 95 applications processors family - featuring NXP eIQ® Neutron NPU, Arm® Mali™ GPU, NXP image signal processor, and multiple compute domains in a functional safety development platform- at the NXP Tech Day held in Detroit, Michigan. Toradex was chosen by NXP to support its Early Access Program to accelerate the adoption of the i.MX 95 applications processor in key markets and applications.
You need to apply this sensibly: if a subject matter expect challenges a source that needs to carry more weight than a rando dragging any random crap into wikipedia. Have a process etc.

I am not asking for experts to be given free reign -- what they add should be sourced etc but they need to be able to apply checks.
>THere's another consequence of choosing DTP (and office suites as a positive consequence) over video production as a target market: at the launch of the product line, Steve Jobs chose the tradeoff of a high-resolution, square-pixel display, but only in B&W, over colour output formats that could only do high resolution with interlacing.

This is a blessing in disguise (and part of what I was alluding to regarding the quality of Apple's toolkit for developers). That targeting, and the B/W limitation, forced Susan Kare and other Apple UI people to produce very high-quality icons and widgets that were and are suitable for professional use. Amiga's widgets, designed for a TV set, are garish, low-resolution, and pretty awful; the ST's are overall better (thanks to the GEM heritage) but still not as good as Apple's.

MacOS today looks more like System 1 than System 7 looks like either; that's how good Apple's UI design c. 1984 is.
Not sure what it is using collect their data, because you can find unlikely IPs torrenting.

Not saying that it is right or wrong. I'm saying that for every startup you show who are not about money grab, I will show you 50 other that are moneygrab, with a "mission". It's just the way it is, like it or not.
Would be cool to have some sort of well defined "bubble-mania-meter" but it is unfortunately quite subjective.

The role of scarcity is something interesting to consider as input. Scarcity (perceived or actual) is more natural with tulips or anything that is a tangible, real object.

NFT's tortured way of creating "digital scarcity" sets them, imho, apart from other bubbles. Given how much of modern life revolves around digital they are probably the forerunner of much worse to come.
it works if there is low traffic, as soon as you got bigger transactions or the amount of concurrent writes becomes heavier, you will at some point (even with WAL enabled) get "database locked" issues. You can work around that on application level to a certain point, but in general, if you are at that point, you should really consider using another database backend.
Since they have been doing it for 15 years, they now presumably have structures and processes in place to keep up with sterilizing more dogs. They also had lots of volunteers helping. If this keeps going, it's probably manageable in the future.

If you read about interactions with him, he's preternaturally confident and charming. I think he's also deranged. Per Wikipedia, "The Wall Street Journal reported in 2019 that Neumann had aspirations to live forever, become the world's first trillionaire, expand WeWork to the planet Mars, become Israel's prime minister, and become 'president of the world'."

There are plenty of nutty rich people like this. If you would like to follow the path to lunatic billionaire, I'd suggest you start by being very tall so as to impress and dominate people. Definitely come from a broken home, the wilder the better. A sufficiently dysfunctional early environment will fuck you up for life, but it also gives some the ability to thrive in chaos. Make sure to be a charming sociopath, so that you can manipulate people, quite a lot of people, without being crushed by the moral weight of the harm you do. You'll also need some desperate character flaw that makes you insatiable: sane people will get enough money and stop, but you'll have to have some sort of unfillable void that compels you to keep going beyond all need.

Lastly, make sure to be very lucky. You must be born into the right moment, such that there are people foolish enough to give you a lot of money. Luckier still to fall into the right context, so that you have plenty of enablers around you who will effectively institutionalize you. Even luckier that your crimes against society are of the sort that either aren't currently illegal or are sufficiently inconvenient to prosecute.
A big Swiss re-insurance company, whose C-level somebody loves to buy and exhibit expensive art pieces in their office buildings, gave a $50 Christmas gift to their employees, which was a coffee table book of PICTURES of those art pieces.

Just to make it clear, the $50 was the discounted price for the book that the employees had to PAY.

The gift was the discount. On the book. Of photos of $M++ art.

Very long, relatively easy rides, for the most part. In summer that's 6 hour rides or longer at a conversational pace, in winter it's 3 or 4 hours on Zwift. Sometimes I do threshold work (because it's more fun than Zone 2 all the time), rarely HIIT anymore (these races don't have a habit of having a sprint finish).
Increase ratio in semi-private trackers ? More often that not your download quota is linked to your ratio.
Yes you may
Yeah, no way mailfence is that privacy friendly. https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/how-cops-c...

The police were able to get a lot of info from mailfence to catch a stupid student who thought using a vpn and mailfence would enable him to send threats easily to the richest man in india. The police got info on how many accounts were from this country, how many of them were active, monitor the mail account for new mails etc..
It definitely makes a lot of easier when having a purpose. On the other hand tying the own identity that close to one thing is the equivalent of putting all eggs in one basket.
> WPA2 is susceptible to offline-dictionary attack and the cost is quite low (less than $10), especially with cloud computing.

I agree that offline attacks are a threat to WPA2, but do you have a cost breakdown/source/? for that cost figure? The attack to me is still in the realm of unlikely if not using a common, rainbow-tabled SSID and/or very simple password.

I am not involved in the GPU cloud compute area, so I only did a very quick check on EC2 GPU instance pricing. At about 10$ that translates to about 2 hours of g5.12xlarge with 4 high end GPUs. I am not familiar with these models, but I am assuming they are comparable to high end, current gen GPUs. To me 8 GPU hours sounds a bit on the low side, even for relatively weak passwords. For reference, it seems an RTX 3090 does about 1 MH/s [1]. 8 GPU hours on that card translates roughly to 230 billion (230x10^9) password variants, a lot, but not overwhelmingly a lot. An 8 character lower+upper+digit is estimated at about 47 bits, so roughly 140x10^12. A wordlist+mutation is likely far more efficient than a naive attack. I am on the fence whether this makes for a reasonable 10$ real world attack.

Happy to learn I am stuck in the past!

If a company tanks right after being listed on the public markets -- that is, right after insiders got an opportunity to dump their shares on less informed investors -- most likely a serious financial crime has taken place. A real business doesn't go from a 47bn market cap to zero in ~2 years. It's not sufficient to make generic disclosures to investors that there are substantial risks and that you have an unproven business model and such. If it looks, talks, and walks like a pump & dump scheme it probably is.
You said:

Now you know that is false. You choose to believe it anyway. Contemplate that for a moment.
Not true! This only applies, if you sent an encrypted mail. Which makes sense I guess?

Is this a realistic scenario? Democratic governments are beholden to their core voting blocs and can only keep their power by addressing their immediate (as opposed to long term) interests. This is the mechanism that generates various loopholes in tax codes worldwide.
My impression is Liverpool has more unimpeded views of a city that looks 100 years old? Having been to both cities.

That will save them on VFX budget.
> there’s also no point in writing unit tests or defining static types or having code reviews

Not true. I do not do those to have nice clean process. I do unit tests, because without them the code is unstable and it is hard to fix bugs without causing unrelated ones. If the code is super simple and unlikely to break, I don't do test. I like to use static types, because I am much faster when writing them. The code is more readable and I have less bugs. Now, I have seen both useless and useful code reviews.

But, in all of those cases, things are done because they beneficial impact in final code and speed of delivery. Beautiful git history does not have such tangible measurable benefit. Git blame and bissect work without it, you just need one more step once in a while.
Health data primarily.

You aim to encrypt the fields you can, without hampering usability too much.

Anything you need to be able to search for (name, ssn) to find patients, or filter on for reports, is generally plaintext.

More sensitive things such as "that patient has aids" you'll have to decide if you want to encrypt it, or do a massive select from the DB anytime you need statistics on it. (Or better yet, encrypt it, but store an anonymized tracker elsewhere. But this is less useful for cureable diseases)
Spinal implant helps man with advanced Parkinson's to walk without falling
I imagine sterilising the ones you've caught is the easy part. How do you actually catch them all though?

They claim to have sterilised 150000 dogs. At the beginning of the programme, you could reasonably assume that every stray dog you see needs to be processed. Later on in the programme, you'll be releasing a lot of dogs that have already been processed, which seems like a lot more effort for the last 10% compared to the first 10%.

Ever played the investment game? (or variations) [0]

I used it in a game theory class to teach distribution, thresholds and
coordination.

Take a pile of pennies and give one to every member of the class. A
group of about 100 in a large lecture theatre is best.

Now tell them that if they agree to invest in your scheme by pitching
their penny, you will guarantee to give them two pennies (2x sure ROI)
just for participating... BUT IFF more than say 75% of the group
invest. If less than three quarters of the group invest, the
investors lose everything.

Watch in amazement!

Slowly lower the participation threshold.

You can get it down to 40% sometimes, with more than half the class
literally screaming at each other "Don't you fucking understand you
idiots!". The minority still hold out and claiming it's a con and dig
in even more as the threshold lowers.

Controversially. I sometimes then use that to teach
leadership/demagoguery by acting as (or selecting someone else to act
as a stooge) coordinating authority and order them all to invest.

It's actually terrifying to see how democracy succeeds or fails based
on the flimsiest of information paths and communication factors.
