It'd give people all the more incentive to sideload and get off Google Play Store. That's a win win in my book. And Signal is a non-for-profit. I don't see why they'd care. Designing system that subvert authoritarian regimes.. what's more punk than that

If you have to ask governments for permission then that's a bad design and your system will be taken away from you when the next think-of-the-children populists are elected

If you work on the assumption all governments are eternally nice and well interventioned .. then E2E chat systems aren't all that necessary in the first place
This is the problem though. The delivery apps don't want employees (maybe fair enough) and so have to have self-employed contractors who have the right to substitution. Those contractors are not large corporations - there are thousands of them and they aren't very accountable. That means they can readily substitute people who don't have the right to work.

The end situation is that these delivery apps are providing a back-door route to work for vast numbers of people without that right. It's very easy to say "it's the contractor who didn't do diligence at blame" - but when there's thousands of contractors and the barrier of entry to become a "contractor" is almost nothing, you have a systemic problem.

As if non-working teenagers don't also ride bikes on roads

Sure they do, but we all know that you drive differently and in different places when you aren't doing it for payment and dealing with those sorts of constraints (if I'm not fast enough, I'll get bad ratings/tips, for example).

It also used to be normal to not finish high school, not allow women to get a bank account without a man's signature, and to beat your kids. Segregation was normal, too. Just because something used to be normal doesn't mean we should still be doing it.

And I'll point out that folks would deal drugs even while working was normal. Heck, some folks (including teenagers) use jobs as a way to deal more drugs. It isn't work or drugs. I'm not sure why teenagers need to do anything other than learning about the world and going to school. School often already takes the time of a full time job.
Vista added a lot of usability features like window snapping and start search, but it's underlying OS was literally unfinished. 7 became what Vista, could've been and even Vista became usable when enough updates were applied.

7 disabled a lot of the security prompts for usability. It didn't remove them, it actually just automatically approved them. These days, most software doesn't need admin privileges anymore. You could always turn off all of the prompts if you wanted to, I think there were 4 levels of prompt severity?
There's one TikTok for me, and one TikTok for thee. The Chinese version promotes educational videos, and has a strict daily time limit.

These people tell me HR knows it but everyone is afraid of getting sued or something so it's a don't ask don't tell situation. People simply ignored him.

This doesn’t require soft skills to logic out that there is reasonable trouble.

Coworkers, with a preexisting work history with this employee, know that HR is afraid of getting sued.

Why would an HR department be afraid of being sued by an employee?

The most likely explanation is that they want to fire them for performance and are trying to limit the likelihood of a lawsuit.

Why would a coworker be able to speak to HR’s internal assessment of an employee’s ability to be fired?

The most likely explanation is that they’ve gone to HR, or a manager, with problems, and the manager has asked HR if they could fire the employee for cause before.

“People simply ignored him” is more ambiguous, but in the context above, I take it to mean - other coworkers want him fired, but given HR’s inaction, they are taking their own action by ignoring the coworker and working around them rather than trying to include them.
That’s a scary thought

These are all highly regulated industries/professions. They also include legally required training. Apprenticeships are also not exclusively work - that's the entire point - a significant portion of an apprenticeship is spent in training and education.

Do you seriously think it's acceptable to just hand a child tools that can easily get them hurt or killed, with zero supervision or training, and expect them to be fine? It is already a nightmare for commuter cyclists in metropolitan areas who prioritize safe routes and dedicated cycle paths. You think people this young have the ability to effectively manage the risks of working on the road whilst under time pressure?
It probably depends on the area. CSS is very popular on one hand and limited to a very small set of problems on the other.

I did try asking ChatGPT about system-related stuff several times and had given up since then. The answers are worthless if not wrong, unless the questions are trivial.

"Smaller accounts" my arse. All that will do is give even more of a platform for the utterly fringe far right and most importantly the porn/scam bots.

It's funny, Elon Musk took over with the promise to get rid of said bots - but guess what, that didn't happen. Literally every thing I tweet these days, no matter if it's original posts or replies, gets insta-liked by at least one or two bots, with always the same homepage domains. I wonder what is going on at Twitter's anti-abuse department. A human would be able to instantly grasp the context of these domains and block them all...

Generally political advertisements, campaign spending and especially donations are strongly limited. E.g. where I am a only private individuals can only donate and only up to 10k per year. The downside of that is that most funding parties receive comes from the state and it's based on their previous election performance (which is problematic due to very obvious reasons...).

Also if everyone can give/spend as much as they want legally it at least stays semi transparent so in theory voters can base their decisions on that. Illegal bribes, kickbacks etc. are a bit harder to track.

>Poor candidates load the contents of both files into memory.

I suppose this is the step where I become a "poor candidate". I think it's important to acknowledge changing client requirements at this point. Sure, loading both files in to memory is less memory efficient, but it's much easier to tweak this algorithm later if you do it. You can change to to count over 3 different days, or 2 days in a 5 day time period, or any number of other things. You can save some memory if you don't, but you'll arrive at a solution that is much less flexible.

I mean the real solution is to load all the data into a database of course, but even given the constraints of the problem I'd still argue for loading each entire file in to memory as the more general and flexible solutions, when our pretend clients inevitably change their pretend minds.

>you don’t need to actually keep every single page from Day 1 in the Map, just two, since the problem is “at least two pages” so a Set of size 2 or even an array of size 2 will use less memory than an unbounded Set.

And with this I think we've crossed over from the practical to leetcode. At this point you're asking the candidate to add a bunch of new code paths (each one should be tested) and make their solution a lot less general. Going from a pretty general algorithm that can be tweaked pretty easily to something super specific with a bunch of new sources of bugs.

>Or, if you’ve already determined that a customer is loyal, you don’t need to waste CPU cycles going thru the logic again next time you encounter that customer in Day 2.

No, please load it all in to your data structures properly, even if you "waste" a bit of time. All these weird little conditionals sprinkled throughout your code when you're ingesting the data are going to be sources of problems later. They might save a bit of memory, a few cycles, but they significantly increase the complexity of the code, and make a refactor of tweaks much much harder.

If this developer started doing stuff like that in an interview with me, well it would raise some red flags.

>If you want to make the problem even more interesting, you can add a third file. I will leave that as an exercise for the reader as well!

See, our imaginary customers imaginary minds did end up changing. Bet you wish you had loaded both files into memory now.
Debris orbits like anything else. Regardless of the orbits of the colliding objects, the orbit of any debris is only really constrained to intersect the point of collision. For some debris, the point of collision could be the lowest point in its new orbit, meaning it could take longer to reenter and could collide with other stuff higher up until then. On the other extreme, some debris could essentially fall straight down to earth immediately.

Because it's really a Geely with a Volvo badge. Volvo probably didn't have much choice, they where given a car platform, a time and money budget, and told to make it work with minimal changes to production. It's made in China, probably in the same factory as the Zeekr X. Whether or not that's an issue is up to each buyer to decide, Tesla has managed to convince plenty of people that cost cutting measures like speedo in the central screen is a good thing.

Just look at the new "Volvo" EM90, that's a Chinese car for the Chinese market, but with a Volvo badge. Very similar to what GM did to Saab.

Yes, TikTok is very very popular for this. The network of these accounts is then leveraged by "fan accounts" who form hubs for abusers to connect with one another and share links to other platforms, particularly Telegram and Mega.

Reddit is also extremely bad for it. They have a system now where a new subreddit is created every day, discoverable via known keywords, and then used as a directory for links to telegram.

The other thing you'll commonly see on both of these platforms is material being stolen from other social media platforms and then re-hosted to reddit or TikTok with sexualised descriptions. Reddit for example will often say it's fine as long they don't explicitly mention that the images are not of the poster.
Having vetted repositories of libraries looks neat but it's harder in practice than what the article lets appear.

A problem for such repositories like the Debian one is that it can only contain vetted versions of libraries. Many Rust libraries are still 0.x and have changing API and frequent updates, which makes it hard to vet all dependencies, especially when an update implies updates of the dependents.
> there can be a small attack gap when adding new dependencies to the project

Most package managers will keep the versions of transitive dependencies as unchanged as possible when adding a new direct dependency.

Of course if the only solution to satisfy the dependencies of the new direct dependency is to upgrade a transitive dependency, that will be done.

(I've seen a lot of people treat dependency additions as completely unpredictable operations that regenerate the whole lockfile in the past, which is why I wanted to clear this up.)
This is completely not true. There were small skirmishes between Hindu and Muslims on small city in the western part of Nepal but there is no communal violence as you think there is. Nepal arbitrarily bans things without any due diligence, well because we have inept leaders.
> So lets be clear about the fact, China is not closing the gap, they are falling further behind.

SpaceX is rapidly increasing the gap with all (government) space agencies, even the US/NASA and EU/ESA; both SLS and Ariane 6 are decades behind.
That's a US problem. The prices of all medicines in for example Denmark are publicly available. The medicine is purchased by a single entity(and there are proposals to combine the entities within the Nordic countries to form a single large purchaser), so to sell medicine in Denmark you'll have to play ball. The prices are therefore quite reasonable. Insulin which is a commonly used example of overpriced medicine in the US is around 40-50 USD in Denmark. That is the brand version from Novo Nordisk.

The prices are available at https://www.medicinpriser.dk/?lng=2
That would kinda kill the last hope of using one as a portable device. You'd either be chained to your home network, or have an extremely inconvenient dongle hanging from the side. (Unless you'd do the TLS termination e.g. on your phone.)

But that gave me some ideas. While the G4 PowerBooks are recent enough to be officially blessed with WiFi capability (via PCMCIA), Macs that are even older have to resort to community-made devices, such as BlueSCSI[1]. Perhaps it would be feasible to cram an SBC with on-board Wifi/BT into a PCMCIA form factor, and - in addition to providing physical network connectivity - use it for TLS?

All security is built on trust. If your threat model is trust nothing, then the solution is do nothing. What I’m talking about is called anchoring, where you force a critical flow through a single anchor by design, and thus reduce the places that you have to audit. It’s the same reason they say that all security should be baked in the keys (strength, mgmt, exchange, etc…).

Do I trust Apple and Microsoft? I think sort of.

I don’t trust them to be perfect, but if your prior is to say that you don’t trust them at all, then it means you basically can’t use them at all bc no amount of security will get around an untrustworthy OS.

They control what gets displayed on screen, they control how memory is laid out and accessed for a program. There are already so many more important things we entrust to them. So, yeah, I prefer OS’s (all vendors) to provide APIs, and for app stores to enforce their use. I especially would trust this more than EU laws, and I certainly would trust that more than everyone doing their own thing, regardless if it’s open source.

If for no other better reason I trust the OS more, since all of these open solutions will still run on those supposedly untrustworthy os vendors.

You basically have to trust your OS, Don’t you think? Otherwise, the answer is you do nothing.

Easy to scale up nannying to infinite proportions with AGI. (We don't have that yet, but it may arrive very soon. Well, we have a shitty approximation right now, but AI != AGI.)

On the other hand, that (coupled with the NSA thing) also makes the "my FBI agent" meme come true. One Federal Agent Per Child.

Fully agree, thanks for elucidating.

IME there’s a crazy amount of strawmanning that goes on with these “anti-react” technologies/cults. Yes of course your html and css static site doesn’t need react. But most of us who are actual software devs/engineers aren’t working on static websites like that!

Do they though? I've been in and around that project for many years and one common scenario that I've seen replaying over and over (and over) again is when people request something and then understand "please elaborate why this UI solution is better" or "can't right now, too many things to work on" response as a flat-out refusal.
Ironically, your own (downvoted) comment on this site is even more difficult to read.

But you are right, the Tuta article has a contrast ratio of 4.35:1, which doesn't pass even the lower WCAG level (AA = 4.5:1).

Most people typically do not form sentences based on pure logic, and many things could reasonable be misinterpreted even if purely logically it's unambiguous. Language is not math.

Real questions because I am dumb.

- What is a "creator"?

- Who are considered "creators"?

Most "creators" I see on insta/tiktok are just people with pretty faces or some random people trying to sell cheap stuff at a slightly higher price and constantly pushing videos(or reels for the cultural folks) promoting products, and of course the reel after their's is also an sponsored advert, so everything is now advert.

Only useful creators I see are some talented artists in Instagram, but sadly they are now flooded out by all new-age AI art generator /creators/ producing anime/manga/van-gogh arts of the same thing in slightly different context.

I don't think you can decide if it's a net positive/negative discrimination with any degree of certainty without knowing the date-stamping machine's location and the demographics of the userbase. However, there most certainly will be a non-zero amount of users discriminated against (browsing during a span around their local midnight that falls onto a single date on the servers), and that's what matters most in my opinion.

Yes, and the sad reality is that even if each one of these absurd legislative proposals has only a 1% chance of passing, sooner or later they will. That’s just math / probability theory. We have to find some way of reducing the inflow.
I agree. That’s our choice, mostly because of our background as service provider (we usually charge by time) it’s in our comfort zone while we are uncomfortable in marketing and trying to get 1000 recurring paying customers. Everyone is different.
