I get that Troy is probably tired of receiving beg bounties, but as a security researcher himself, I find this post a bit distasteful and discouraging towards the people who could as well be on their way to finding bigger vulnerabilities.

Reports on lack of SPF/DMARC records on security headers can be annoying, and often false, because there are some legitimate cases an SPF record with `~all` is necessary, or you have to have a permissive CSP for whatever reason.

I would have just deleted their email and moved on.
Inquisitorial systems (more present in civil law systems big also present in some US courts) have the judge act as a fact finder. In that model the judge is basically an active participant in figuring out what happens, instead of just being a referee in between two parties. So the judge (a professional whose job it is to do this) is more of an active participant and a determiner of guilt rather than 12 randos off the street (modulo a bunch of stuff). This leads to things like guilty plea bargains not being as much of a thing if the judge doesn’t believe the confession.

Source: I read the Wikipedia article on inquisitorial systems and watch tv. So I don’t know what I’m talking about but it sounds nice (also aligns with what I’ve heard about French court procedure) I think this covers Japan too (anyone who plays phoenix wright might wonder: why is the judge just declaring a result?)

Diamonds are a scam and an ethical minefield, but I disagree with the notion that women are brainwashed or shallow for wanting one.

It’s not about the diamond.

It’s about wanting a man with enough resources to waste on a diamond. A diamond’s lack of intrinsic value or utility is a feature. The waste is the point. In a sea of potential mates, finding one who can throw away $3000 as though it were nothing, is a great filter.
FAANG seems to get well selling PII customer data which is illegal.
I while ago I rand some relatively unscientific numbers, and learned that even swamps and forests are relatively inefficient users of space as it pertained to carbon capture. For example, a well managed bamboo plantation will yield 25T/hectare/year of bamboo, and this includes quite a bit of labour for the management. Meanwhile, the same area, covered in solar panels, will get you to around 500MWh per year of produced capacity.

The world emissions per capita are presently around 5T per year, per capita. The world has 5 billion hectares (out of 13B total) of agricultural land in general, overall (and generally if land _could_ be used for agriculture it _is_ used for agriculture), so generally, there's not a tonne of space to do lots of carbon sequestering quickly with agriculture, especially as you'd need to move the carbon you've created somewhere else.

The moral is that if you can ever get sequestering carbon down such that you can sequester 1 tonne of carbon for 20MWh power, you're close to a major winner, at least in all the deserts where you clearly can't grow bamboo but can grow solar, because at that point your cost of operations is just cost of infra. That startup thinks it can get down to around 1MWh/tonne, which is comparatively awesome!

My conclusion (before getting to something super scientific) was that if you want to rely on trees and swamps for your carbon capture, you basically end up with massive geopolitical issues because you need to cover most of the world in trees and swamps, but most of the world's land is already used to grow food.
Meanwhile, carbon capture can work in areas where land is not (as) valuable.

If they are able to get to $50/tonne, that implies 1MWh/tonne, so that's about 500 tonnes/year per hectare. That'd mean that if you covered arizona in solar panels, you'd be sequestering 1/5 of human carbon output. Whereas if you grew bamboo, you'd cover the contiguous US for the same output.

Do I believe them? No. But even 10x worse is cheap enough to change the world.
This would be a very legitimate concern.

Change always takes time. India is a large, diverse developing country with many different language groups and wide disparities in living standards. Many people still don’t have access to basic sanitation. Controversies like this are a universal experience in human development. The government’s role is to step in here; casting people as monstrous misses the broader context in my opinion.
Why don't more people buy diamond rings at pawn shops?
Out of the integers 1..2N+1, exactly N have smallest prime factor 2,

while the remaining N+1 have smallest prime factor > 2.

Thus it is fair to say that the median smallest prime factor is 3 rather than 2.
Now it also annoyingly searches almost anything on Bing.

I thought that lab-grown emeralds were more expensive than diamonds.

If that is true, then buying something more expensive than the usual thing doesn't invalidate any of the arguments against diamond engagement/wedding rings.

If emeralds are cheaper, then while I'd rather have the emerald anyway (it's prettier to my eyes), I can't see any person (male or female) preferring the cheaper jewelry.
Sounds like a great way to not spend a lot of time talking to any of them.

Precisely why I prefer small intimate events with my friends and don’t want a big event like a wedding.

The problem is that a lot of activities in real life work in a similar way to gambling. Human relationships tend to have the right amount of random in it to build habits too.

Gambling as a mechanism can't really be banned. Everything slowly optimizes towards that same behavior. Simply following the metrics of "more use engagement" and "more money" will land you there when your start off with a bit of random chance. So if you ban gambling you'll have games that are totally-not-gambling-but-somehow-work-like-slots.

It’s a knob that spring back to its origin when let go, that can move ~45 degrees or ~1/4” each axes(subjectively). It feels a bit like those old bobbing dashboard toy in hand.

Mechanically, it’s something like an Rx/Rz two-axis joystick with sliding knob part on top that can be slid in X/Y, pushed/pulled in Z and twisted in Ry as well. All axes are spring centered.

The part I don't like is the "carrying aroundmetallic objects that rattle around all day.".
It reads like a fanboy's list of excuses for an extremely misleading statement. Considering everything he said, what you could call it, is "shooting on a top of the line Sony smartphone sensor, embedded in an iOS carrier, running a 3rd party software".
Even ignoring all the massive amount of gear that is used to make this possible (and where the camera is in fact not the most crucial factor as is the case in most productions) it is not anything like what people think when you tell them shot on iPhone.

You could tell them, "you need a bit more hardware to make this decent"; but imposing such limitations and specific settings/apps means it is nowhere near what Apple advertise as a camera and it doesn't match at all with what one would think when hearing "shot on iPhone.

It is at best a gross mischaracterization of a minor detail but in reality, it is a massive marketing lie.
The truth is that if you cannot mobilise such heavy production tooling, your money would be better spent on a better camera, because such camera would have much better results without entirely relying on those tools thanks to much better flexibility because of a wider native ability. A bigger sensor wouldn't have to rely so hard on lightning in the first place, since you could shoot at higher ISO without gaining to much noise.

What he said about Final Cut is kinda funny. Considering recent Apple behavior I would not put it past them to deprecate Final Cut if it does not make enough money. Or do something like make a new version that would be required in the newer OSs but that you could only subscribe to, not outright buy. That would be on brand with the current Apple ways...

I really do not understand the level of justification/excuses Apple get for their deceptions even though they are a trillion-dollar company. Especially when their competitors get teared a new ass for the most minors things, that routinely get mischaracterized by Apple fans...
People need to wake up, Apple is not a startup, nor the weak challenger anymore, they should get zero sympathy for their deceptive behavior.
>It boils down to “push button, watch absurd animations and sounds.”

Because that's it. It's just a random number generator that decides whether you win or not. Then based on that it generates all of the bells and whistles to show you, but what's happening on the screen doesn't matter. You've already won or lost by the time you pressed the button.

It's just

if (Math.random() < 0.4) win()

else lose()
AMD does not do ML. They don't have the capability and engineers, nor desire in their leadership, to develop the software stack.
well it requires nvidia so maybe its not actually portable.
Thanks for giving me something interesting to consider! This looks like an earnest product that could help me at least understand where others are coming from on design, and could probably add flavor to my own UI focus (gamedev).

I don't often have a positive reaction to something like this, will definitely revisit it when I have the spare cash.
Metrics hacking is the beating heart of every corporation. Private corporations are the core of capitalism. How did you come to the conclusion that is a result “bureaucratization and politicization” instead?

Really liked their talk on it!
The most typographical thing is stability. Look at a book. It is visually stable. The text is where the printer has put it and does not move. You can find quotes if you roughly remember where on the page they were.

Now look at a typical web page. It is scrolled! Nothing is stable. On every move everything changes. There is not a single visually fixed anchor aside from the browser window itself, which is unhelpful anyway. (E.g. with all that talk about semantic HTML it could maybe give us a standard table of contents, but does it?) With such a drastic departure from the essence of typography some fancy hanging punctuation won't help. Of course, once the main things are in place, it would be nice to have typographical niceties as well.
This sounds like a sensible argument unless you think about it for about 5 seconds.

In reality, most of those women absolutely wouldn’t want said man to literally burn $3k or even $20k.

Absolutely 100% brainwashed.
No, this is untrue. Metric hacking doesn't really exist in alternative systems of doing science. For example, it didn't exist in the Eastern Europe during communism. There, being an authority in research was more based on nepotism than on merit, but to a large extent even fringe people were allowed to pursue research. It is also not a feature of a tenure system, which existed in the West during the Cold War.

The idea that we need to continuously monitor people for performance (measure them), rather than (for example) accept them into a community and just let them evolve there (for better or worse), is very intimately tied to capitalism.

Also, all the KPI systems based on objective metric ignore a really simple metric, that you can simply ask every scientist an opinion (for example, who are the leading people in your field) and use that as a metric, as a recommendation what kind of research is to be financed more and what kind is to be financed less. Again, this is because capitalism cannot trust employees by default, it has to put some other authority in charge of them.
What's not perfect about Tuxedo laptops? It's the first time I hear about these, and it seems they have a great spec/price ratio. This is definitely a brand I'd consider buying.
How are you going to do the updates without FE logic? Refresh the page constantly?

The client being able to fetch just updates is a lot more efficient. If you open a web socket the server can even push.

You make a great point why we use client side solutions.
It was extraordinarily tragic how people responded to the Economist's piece about lead in turmeric here in India.

While normally most of the stupidity lies on one side of the political spectrum, you could see both sides lambasting it as a hit piece by Big West against traditional healing and spices.

Most people took the "everything is contaminated anyway, why single out turmeric?" route. This is the best route to take if you want lead contamination to continue.

The biggest tragedy about ideological divides is how it makes people immune to truth-seeking behaviours. Lead contamination should not be political. Lead doesn't care who you vote for or on what basis you are butthurt.

Kudos to our neighbours for, once again, showing us that there are better ways to do things.
I agree. Every time I see such a phrase as "in a capitalist system," I ask whether it would not happen in a communist or socialist system as well, and in the vast majority of cases, it would, simply because human nature does not differ regardless of what layer is added on top at a societal level.

AI Anime Pixel Art Generator
With the continuous advancement of technology, the AI Pixel Art Generator has opened up a new realm of creativity for us. The introduction of this tool makes pixel-based artistic creation more exciting and accessible. By simply entering text or uploading an image, we can utilize the powerful capabilities of AI to transform imagination into vibrant pixel art masterpieces.

Firstly, the AI Pixel Art Generator provides creators with a convenient way to transform abstract concepts into visual images through text-to-pixel art conversion. This approach not only enables quick realization of creative ideas but also inspires more unique and expressive designs.

Secondly, through image-to-pixel art conversion, we can reinterpret existing photos or images into captivating pixelated works of art. This method not only offers a fun transformation process but also evokes nostalgia for classic video games and early computer systems.

However, like any innovative tool, there may be some challenges. Some users express dissatisfaction with the pixel size differences in the generated images, believing it may affect the originality of the images. This perspective reminds us that in the continuous process of innovation, attention to optimizing and improving the tool is crucial to better meet the users' needs.

What title should they have used.

If you look at the URL it should be "bangladesh-tumeric-lead-poisoning-contamination-public-health"

https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2023/9/20/23881981/bangla...

If you look at the bold text at the beginning of the article it should be "Lead poisoning kills millions annually. One country is showing the way forward."

Underneath the bold text is smaller text "How Bangladesh removed lead from turmeric spice — and saved lives."

The police allowed them to contact my ISP to get my name and location, not that I was hiding or anything.

Apart from that they just logged the incident and there was no follow-up.
You receive 20 mails each day and when you delete them you receive follow ups. You receive emails getting angry and the tone shifts to threats (as if the bug they are reporting warrants it).

These bury any legitimate reports. We have missed a legit one because of the sheer amount of beggers at some point. Luckilty the person on the other end contacted us again and was understanding that we missed it.

And there are some who do not disclose and act like there is a really critical issue, fishing for replies first and then dropping a pile of shit as a critical security issue.

I'm also fed up with these.
ECC RAM has its advantages but I agree it's not a must have for workstations. DDR5 has on-die ECC, which is basically controlled by the RAM itself and not everything around it like with regular ECC.
The article mentions that Big Fish Games was at one point owned by Churchill Downs and now belongs to Aristocrat Leisure. The former operates racetracks and an online oddsmaker while the latter literally manufactures gambling machines.

> These games are not gambling because, among other reasons, they offer no opportunity for players to win money or anything of value. Our games are offered for free purely for entertainment, with an opportunity for customers to spend money within the game to enhance their gameplay experience.[1]

Right, no connection to gambling whatsoever.

> Your wedding and funeral are the only two times everyone you care about will be in one room. And you only get to experience one of those.

And yet, during both those times you will have no meaningful engagement with all those people you care about.

If you want your wedding to be a meaningful event, you need to keep it small; the larger a party[1] is, the less engagement the host will get with the average attendee.

[1] You shouldn't forget that a wedding is nothing more than an expensive party that everyone else will forget.

Adding to the above comment which I'm happy to endorse there are two streams of Australian exports to China:

* bulk raw materials: iron ore, thermal coal, other minerals, etc

* (rock lobster, wines)^N - AKA aspirational middle class foreign luxuries

The raw materials are lifeblood to China and not easily replaced, they are inputs to Chinese industry and generate wealth for China after processing, sale and export in addition to providing infrastructure for growth.

The fancy goods for the chinese middle class is not a small market either; demographically China now has a middle class with disposable income that is larger than the entire population (all classes) of the USofA.

This is not the Red China the McCarthy era foaming anti communists warned us about, this is a country within another country that wants fine fibre merino wool suits, ethical cotton, nearly organic wheat, hand massaged beef, etc.

As much as the Xi faction enjoyed dropping the hammer on fine goods from Australia as payback for ScoMo rushing in with ill considerd comments from his National Party cheer squad they also faced some push back at home from disgruntled chinese consumers.

The demand is still there for the fine goods, once the political gates drop a little the spice will flow again.
