GitHub phishing warning: mails titled "<user> invited you to <repo>"
I got a well-made GitHub phishing attempt titled "felipebrahm invited you to uniswap-dao" in the e-mail inbox today. Both the "From:" field and the links revealed a scam, but it was very authentic in looks, I mostly didn't fell for it because "uniswap-dao" did not ring a bell and that got me look closer. Stay safe, happy holidays!
This sounds it might be like a hallucination. I've never heard of any "Domestic Bribery Act" and I'm unable to find one in cursory online searching. (In 18 USC there are prohibitions on bribing public officials, but that doesn't seem relevant here.)
Sounds like those "corporate VC-sounding but not really VC-operating accelerator" investment programs some larger corporates have. Their goal seems to be funding technology development aligned with their interests, few to no strings attached, with the potential for the occasional moonshot.

If successful, acquire before any competitors even fully understand the potential. Worst case they hire the top talent if the venture fails. See Shell GameChanger[0] for an example.

I mean you can just not use iostream? A lot of modern C++ projects just ignore it. For either C style IO or more C++ -y IO.
> For oligarchs and elites, yes only putting complete economic lockdown could work. No way to travel and buy yourself or your kids comfy western way of life.

I don't think that can work. Russian elites absolutely value power over Western way of life. Sanctions are only needed to starve Russian economy to a point where it cannot finance war - and it has been a mixed success so far, but in principle can work.

Those were all things that don't affect transistor scaling. Well some depend on having high density chips, but they don't enable denser chips. Chiplets and stacked die are the things being done because transistor scaling is near its limit.

15 years ago people were looking at those things but they didn't make sense because we could just move to the next node. So they were deemed future possibilities for when scaling wouldn't be cheap and easy. They are no longer "future" tech, they are present day. Meaning scaling is about over, and we are pulling out all the stops on other ways to go fast.
Nor is Apple copying their tech the “kiss of death” that the article mentions, as Masimo makes primarily medical/hospital equipment. The majority of their equipment is sold to other businesses or through medical suppliers. Seeing as how they claim to own 90% of the hospital O2 monitoring market, I think they’re doing just fine.

Once again, this isn’t Apple stealing tech from Joe Shmoe. This is just standard legalistic BigCorp infighting, corporate backstabbing, brain drain/theft, etc.

Side note - I love the infant sp02 tape monitors they have, as they work incredibly well for use on adults with poor extremity perfusion. Earlobe usually works great.

Are they printing money?
I don't disagree with you. And I don't disagree with you for the simple reason that, according to all evidence, "pedophile" is not a characteristic that people can change. Any more than "gay" is.

But that's not the way that the law is written.
> Airplane cockpits aren't built the way they are for shiggles. Pilots need to be able to reach controls, and if you design a cockpit for fitting people over 6ft tall, it might become unergonomic, if not downright dangerous for shorter pilots. There are actual safety issues at play here.

If they can build a thin metal tube that can safely ascend and descend 30k feet, I'm pretty sure they can build controls that are ergonomic for people outside of a 6" height span. Of all the issues airplane engineers face, I refuse to believe that adjustable controls are the one hill they can't conquer.

> Similar for eyesight -- yes they can carry a backup, until they forget it.

This is how practically every part of the plane is. There are redundant parts, until maintenance forgets about it. Except here there's a redundancy of a redundancy; the copilot can take over if the other pilot forgot their backup glasses and their contacts broke or whatever.

Just put it on the pre-flight checklist. If it's good enough for the mechanical parts, it should be good enough for an already-redundant piece of human equipment.

> Do you want to fly on an airplane where there's a nonzero chance the pilot is effectively incapacitated because he forgot his glasses?

Every flight you get on has a non-zero chance of a pilot being incapacitated. That's why there are two. Heart attacks, sudden onset of a seizure disorder, bad medication interactions, etc, etc. There are dozens of reasons why a pilot could be incapacitated mid-air.

If my options are a pilot with glasses or a pilot with high blood pressure, I'm taking the glasses. An effectively blind pilot doesn't cause a distraction, and could be helpful to their copilot (doing radio comms, talking to passengers, maybe watching a gauge or two if they squint). A pilot in cardiac arrest is both incapable of helping and distracting.

I wouldn't worry that much about a pilot with glasses. The glasses are unlikely to spontaneously break, if they do they should have backups, if they don't have backups then the copilot takes over like anything else that incapacitates a pilot. Hell, if it really came down to the wire, there's probably a decent chance that one of the passengers on the plane has a prescription close enough to make a shoddy landing.
This was several years ago in a different role before my current employer, and has nothing to do with my current employer. I agree that legal advice would have been good here, but to be honest I was just glad to cancel the subscriptions and move on with more important things. The company I worked for is sadly out of business now so wouldn't be a target of any action, and I stand by my comments in a personal capacity so have no wish to take them down currently, but thank you for the advice.

I wouldn't be (and am not) making this sort of accusation on behalf of any operating company without prior approval.
I could believe this but if so why wouldn’t Figma fight to get the deal through? $20B is a lot to leave on the table, assuming they’d already emotionally accepted to lose control of the company? Why settle for the $1B “fuck off” consolation?

The way these things usually (but not always) work is they'll send you a cease and desist letter if they intend on bothering you. Change the name at that point and you're usually good.
Reverse engineered the API that iMessage uses and made an app for Android making use of them (while charging a fee for it). There's more to it than that (what got them smacked originally was using fake device credentials for attestation), but that's the tl;dr.
I find this behavior baffling. It's morally wrong to run over a pedestrian with your car when you are in another country. Why would location matter?
I imagine that within the next couple of years there's going to be a "general purpose vision" model (GPV? :)

More of a framework to perform the general purpose task of "recognize things in 30 (60? 120?) frames per second video and act on events in the video"
Ha! Thanks for catching that! I think that demonstrates how difficult it is to make even a simple website accessible.

I assumed that since my browser's "reader mode" was all good, then screen readers would know how to parse it too.

I do like the heart aesthetic, so how exactly would I make it more accessible?
Can anyone explain why this happens?

Why would they pay ransomware hackers when they would obviously have backups. Sucks to have data compromised, but presumably it's not lost. And what part of the system was designed to bad practices that this was able to happen? Aren't there lots of UK white-hats who would freely lend their services to help improve the library's infrastructure?

Presumably excluding attacks of this sort isn't arcane or impossible, because other major companies and orgs manage it. Is it secret knowledge, or something?

Surely there's a SOP to just not have this happen.
Thanks for the correction. My own state of Washington mandated boater education only about ten years ago, I assumed it was an early mover given how much navigable water we have.
Exit valuation doesn't come from God. It comes from metrics like growth, profit, etc., all of which are readily available without actually exiting.

Even if we accept your assertion that it's the best way to value something, that doesn't mean it's the only way to value something.

It’s great to see the FTC is looking into this. Every time I’ve had to deal with Adobe subscriptions it always feels like they put you through some maze which usually ends in being forced to pay a cancellation fee or losing in some other way. I recently lost 160 asset tokens I had saved up in Adobe Stock after canceling my subscription. I’m sure it mentions this in the fine print somewhere but the only reason I had saved that many tokens up was because I couldn’t cancel without paying the fee. So they trapped me, took my money and then took back the tokens I only paid for because they locked me in with a cancellation fee in the first place. At the very least I should be able to keep the asset tokens. The whole thing seemed absolutely ridiculous to me.
Germany is legit the one country in the western hemisphere doing the most damage to the future, and I am surprised how nobody calls them out on it.

1)Turning off nuclear and cancelling plans for new plants because literally their party, the "green party" originated as an anti nuclear party, so of course they don't care and just do it for political reasons.

2)E-Vehicles from US and China threatening Germany's old guard that refuses to adapt? who cares about the environment then.

Remember them falsifying reports and getting away with a slap in the wrist?

I feel like even mid-roll ads are just too different type of advertising medium than a direct video integration so they shouldn't be thought of as alternatives to each other. And it would seem to me that the general vibe is that sponsor spots are more hip and more prestigious for advertisers. I used to see those from new and agile companies whereas any sort of normal in-stream ad type would be preferred by more established and classical companies. I use both uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock these days though so my anecdata might be stale.
I thought Jakt was supposed to be memory safe (but it was very wip last I looked at Jakt)
Russians had zero problem with storming an airport to try to kill jews. The reason they arent doing anything isnt because russians are scared. The reason is most russians dont want russia to loose the war and surrender to Ukraine and give up Crimea. Even Navalny said he would continue the occupation of crimea if he replaced Putin.
Yeah, and not to justify or minimize it in any way (just old enough to remember the US before smoking bans started up and contributing a bit of explanation of how people thought back then), but cigarette butts are also a bit less "portable" than a lot of other litter. It's something that was recently on fire; you can't just put it in your pocket to dispose of later like a candy wrapper. You need to stub it out on something first and often the convenient way to do that is to put it on the ground and grind it with your shoe. At that point it's already on the ground and now it's an extra step to pick it back up vs just leave it there. Plus, unless you were extremely careful putting it out, it might be safer to leave it on the pavement or dirt than to toss it into a garbage can where you risk starting a fire if there isn't a dedicated ash tray available. So, yeah, cigarette butts were/are commonly normalized as something slightly different than "litter" for many.

How does that work? I don’t think Adobe has your social security number.
> If you are spending less than $1 per hour on your entertainment (podcasts, videos, articles, games, books, etc.), consider finding ways to support creators and the infrastructure that supports them.

So I should send them extra money because I keep using it? I bought the discography of a band (0.2665 € / hour according to last.fm so far, obviously falling), should I now set up a monthly donation just because I keep listening? It seems like advocating to only use subscriptions and never owning anything.

This is such a weird take.
Pretty inaccurate.

"In 2020, each Netflix subscriber in the U.S. was watching an average of 3.2 hours of Netflix content per day." -- https://www.zippia.com/answers/how-many-hours-of-netflix-are...

Let's say there's 4 weeks to a month - that's 12.8 hours a month. So using $23/m is going to be 1.8/h -- I'd be curious to see the median hours per month per user -- I am willing to bet the average is skewed by the top 20% of viewers.

A short game is still likely to be $60 - it is more dependent on the publisher setting price.

The Affinity suite of products is pretty popular, at least what I've seen from non-professional use. Not sure what their professional use numbers look like, but for at least Photoshop/Illustrator/Publisher they seem like a real competitor.
Thank you for your advice. The company no longer exists. I don't have any records of this because it was over the phone and probably 4 years ago.
In Europe just cancel your credit card authorization at the bank, or your SEPA mandate, or your PayPal authorization, depending on.

They will try to scare you and ultimately won't go after you because the legality of this for b2c is very very iffy (because of the way they present the information on the sale page, which doesn't meet any informed consent level required). At least in my country, apparently in NL too, and if it ever got to the European level it would be smashed easily.
For those of you who are sick of Hasbro/WotC's shinanigans, give Pathfinder a shot. Its setting and rules should be very familiar for anyone used to DnD, but I've found the small changes they made to combat and progression really make the game much more interesting and rewarding.

I've found Paizo's pricing to be much more reasonable than WotC and they work well with open source projects. I've been using the open source system for Pathfinder on FoundryVTT with Paizo's official content packs and it's amazing. My experiences with DnD in Roll20 and AboveVTT don't even come close.
Imagine that you created a monopoly by forcing users to switch to your product. You then locked out competitors, then intentionally degrade quality when your users attempt to contact the outside world. Then you created and fostered a culture of bullying other users (especially teens).

There is no "Poor Apple", there were mistakes, but mostly intentional malic the entire way. People repeatedly asked them to stop, people asked to be let in, and Apple had plenty of chances to allow RCS and additional layers of security like "Verified sent from Apple hardware".

I hope this one seriously hurts for them.
It's an open-source (open core? not sure if the serverside is open) multi-platform single-pane-of-glass instant messaging client (Beeper) with a cloud/webapp (Beeper Cloud I think it's called).
I would say good luck to the customer demanding a refund then, and I'd prefer to see them banging their wall against the AI, than a real human being.

> You probably don't want chatbots leaking their guidelines for how to respond

It depends. I think it wouldn't be difficult to create a transparent and helpful prompt that would be completely fine even if it was leaked.
Seems pretty reasonable!
I think they saw 20 billion reasons to sell to Adobe. Their last valuation was $10billion in 2021 so a 2x on that a year later would be hard for anyone to pass up. They can pretend they went with Adobe for aspirational aims to make the product better, but at the end of the day it was about the very juicy multiple Adobe was offering.
Y do you think thats NOT the case? Is it a Chernobyl type situation or is there something else I'm missing (lack of technical literacy or refusal to hire appropos consultantz in the public interest?)
Sooo, what's the "illegal content" here? Because I saw quite a few people calling for various forms of genocide against either party, and that's pretty illegal too.

While actual factual videos about the attack are undoubtedly newsworthy and should not be banned, claiming that promoting genocide is be in the people's interest would be a bit of a stretch, would it not?

The first time I ever watched a networed text editor with "simultaneously" blinking cursors where two humans were editing in parallel was mind blowing. It opens your mind to many other collaborative editing ideas.

Those weren't "ethnic Russians", but rather their Dagestan colony which is quite Islamic and well, they obviously follow the same outrage news cycles hating on jews.

Russia is a giant patchwork of colonies being held together by strongmen and the "ethnic Russians" more or less drain and extract the resources of every minority and send the money all to themselves in Moscow and St Petersburg.
But you don't make money by reducing the number of cars. You make money by increasing the number of cars. The car lobby would never approve a plan that resulted in fewer cars overall unless it can be done in a way to still increase profits (e.g. by reimbursing manufacturers for lost sales).

When the German government wanted to reduce the number of fuel inefficient old cars on the road it didn't just pass a bill permitting cities to create "clean air zones" placing limits on particles in car exhausts, they also created a subsidy "scrap bonus" for trading in older vehicles when buying new ones (instead of resale those cars would then be scrapped for which the salesperson would be reimbursed).

In a way the "e-vehicle" subsidies are even worse because they don't even require a trade-in, they just subsidize putting more cars on the road and especially buying smaller electric cars for short distance commutes that are more likely to move people off public transit or bikes than existing ICE cars.
Oh stop. iMesssge has long since passed the point of 'fun app' and is well into the realm of public utility. They're a victim of their own success.

If our regulators weren't asleep at the wheel this would have been forcibly spun out years ago.

The blue/green icon debacle should have been ruled discriminatory.

I disagree.

> Apple, of course, is one of the largest and most powerful companies in history — it’s the first to hit a $3-trillion — that’s trillion, with a T — market cap.

Apple is at least 100 times bigger than Masimo, 500x based on the numbers in the article. Sounds David and Goliath to me.

Add in the despicable behavior and you've got a story where real life is more than fiction could do.
same in berlin. Someone blew up repeatedly the same speed measuring tower for cars on a somewhat major road (https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/news/berlin-charlottenburg-e...)

I am also anti-car, not anti-car everywhere but they just don't belong in cities.
I don't like the reasonable test in this case. If a representative of a company says something (including a chatbot) then in my mind, that is what it is.

Companies should be on the hook for this because what their employees say matters. I think it should be entirely enforceable because it would significantly reduce manipulation in the marketplace (IE, how many times have you been promised something by an employee only for it not to be the case? That should be illegal)

This would have second order effects of forcing companies to promote more transparency and honesty in discussion, or at least train employees about what the lines are and what they shouldn't say, which induces its own kind of accuracy

Oh for crying out loud, NOBODY is forced to use iPhones. Can we stop this narrative already?
I don't think he's wrong, to be honest.

And, sadly, I know many people that think the same. Maybe not a civil war per se but we're heading towards many internal conflicts. And the more we wait to solve things, the worse it'll be.
Wonderful hack, the overall response latency is the only thing that hurts the UX, if you can get the response time down would be epic. Nice work.
