> it need only be information that is material and non-public.

I think this is wrong as well. Suppose you are a independent technician repairing cars. Over time you notice, that, say BMW car quality used to be good but has gone to shit. That's not public information, but you would be allowed to short BMW stock in the hopes that, once public catches on, their share price will tank.

In fact half the point of stock trading if for you to do research, including your own investigation and testing. And then use that as an advantage. In the process you are bringing the price close to it's true value.

P.S. nothing against BMW, just an example.
Whatever issues I have with California, the climate and nature overall are hard to beat relative to just about anywhere on the planet.
I wore a Withings for a year, it wasn't a terrible watch, but the tiny round display is really too small to be practical for scrolling notifications. Fossil/Citizen/Skagen all make variations of my current watch[1] which have much larger e-ink displays, are pretty easy to make your own faces for (just PNGs with some circles/transparent holes you can set to show data). Battery life is ~2wk though I don't use the heart monitor much.

I don't think I understand what 'locally connected' means. You can easily choose a rectanglular area that contains 2 areas of the set that are not joined.
what's rto?
I agree with your sentiment but it's easy to answer some of your questions. Torrenting is something you can do from home, you can't be easily caught and even being caught doesn't mean much as an individual. If you're caught shop lifting then that can have far reaching consequences, plus you have to go out and it's harder to do. Also while out doing it you might get to meet folks who run the shops, even some who own them, making it a bit more personal.

Anyway, rationalisation is a human hobby. I often remark about all kinds of questionable decisions: they did it then rationalised, what they're saying is not the true reason. I suspect we might all go insane if we couldn't play pretend reasons.
No it wasn't! NSEC3 is crackable the same way a 1990s Unix password file is. This was such a big problem that two competing approaches were introduced to defeat it: "whitelies", which I perceive as the "best practices standard" answer, requires servers to operate as online signers (they should have been all along) so they can generate dynamic chaff records to foil enumeration, and NSEC5.
With garmin, you can just go use the watch.

I have simply used the watch since the day I bought it. took it out of the box, put it on my wrist.

This is really neat.

Although in Star Trek, holodecks never had such a feature. Instead the simulation would use trickery to make sure you're never lead into the wall. E.g it would use illusions to trick you into thinking you're walking straight, but you're actually walking in a circle.
i don't think the nylon and delrin parts have to be high precision; the way i see it, all that matters is that the displacement between the optical sensor and the print head is constant and that the plastic tape isn't stretched so far that the printed page looks wrong, and that the print head stays more or less the same height off the paper and, more importantly, exactly the same angle

backlash, variable friction, motor power variation due to voltage, belt stretch, most flexions of the frame — all of that should just be 'external disturbances' that the negative feedback system automatically corrects. only the position feedback itself (and the time of actuation of the inkjets) has to be precise, that's the magic of negative feedback

as for the optical strips and encoders, i figured that a 600dpi laser printer printing on laser printer transparency film should be able to print a light/dark transition every 42μm, though it might take some fiddling to get that to actually work. supposedly 1200×1200 dpi laser printers also exist on the market for US$300. the standard way inkjet printers do this seems to be with a slit that's only slightly wider than the size of a single stripe, but a second transparency with the same 50% black pattern would also work, producing a moiré pattern (though with a viewing angle of only 25° or so due to the thicknesses of the transparent films). let me know if this is unclear, i'll make an animation or something

with a quadrature cycle (as the inkjet printer sensors seem to use, according to the datasheets i've managed to find) every 84μm you get a full cycle, so you get a transition every 21μm and you know your position ±10.5μm. that's half a thou, good enough for machining a piston

if you don't truncate the brightness to one bit, though, you can measure the phase within the cycle to probably within a tenth of a cycle, so you get ±4μm

as for who did the mechanical engineering, i suspect that it's something like ten people in the world, half of them retired. dissecting printers from different decades i see an astounding degree of similarity from one decade to the next

iOS 17.4 Code Reveals Direct GPT-3.5 Integration for Siri
Sorry but you're completely off base, this isn't an Android vs iOS debate but a megacorporations vs the citizens debate. I want the regulators to bust open Google, Apple, and every other tech monopoly you can think of.

You're also falling into the trap of only considering the end-user choice, but completely disregarding the other half of the equation, i.e. businesses that NEED to reach people who happen to be using Apple devices. They don't get a choice other than ceasing to exist, which obviously stifles competition and innovation. This is a problem which EU wants to fix. From the DMA:

> Gatekeepers have a significant impact on the internal market, providing gateways for a large number of business users to reach end users everywhere in the Union and on different markets. The adverse impact of unfair practices on the internal market and the particularly weak contestability of core platform services, including the negative societal and economic implications of such unfair practices, have led national legislators and sectoral regulators to act.

In other words, the EU won't allow Apple (and other gatekeepers) to hold the rest of the industry hostage.

> it comes down to people thinking that walled-gardens need to be regulated out of existence, the people in question would agree with that and think it’s a social good.

No, what I (and I think most people) are asking for is that Apple adds the equivalent of exit doors to their walled garden so that when there's a fire, we don't all burn to death.

The British, broadly speaking, are familiar with this quotation (the poem was set as a popular hymn); when they refer to the climate as pleasant, it's somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

If the software compares behavior between nights and can then say "that was relatively good", then you're right and the limitation matters

If the software behaves no differently from one night to the next, that is, if you can take any random night's assessment and it would be as likely to be accurate as the first, then it does not matter that they had participants only wear it one night. You'd get more data (from multiple nights) without needing to recruit more participants, but you'd also be biasing towards whether the tracker works well for this set of people (probably a worthwhile trade-off, up to a point)

Your watch says to use it for a while. It could be that that's just because it's not flawless and they want people to see it's often correct even if they got unlucky the first night(s). Or maybe your watch works differently from the ones used in this study

I'm also surprised they only did one night, both because you get a lot more data per amount of effort by having participants keep it for a month, and because I'd not be surprised if the software is more comparative than absolute. But I don't know if we can draw real conclusions from that
the advantage from my point of view is that you can cut the metal to an arbitrary shape, which no other tool can (though edm and ecm can, and in that video he mentions 'etching' as an alternative, by which i suppose he means photolithography). in this case he isn't really taking advantage of that power
> This seems like a wunderwaffen propaganda narrative, just like the Javelins that will end the war.

The columns of wrecked and burned down Russian tanks and APCs beg to differ. Some of us still recall Russia hastily retreat from the north and North East of Ukraine because it failed to consider the effectiveness of Ukraine's defensise strategy, which owe much to the inflow of weapons like the Javelin.

> Ukraine is failing.

We're on year 2 of Russia's 3-day invasion.

Russia spearheaded it's invasion of Ukraine with troops carrying parade uniforms.

Ukraine sunk Russia's flagship and another half a dozen ships, and destroyed a submarine.

Russia is begging the US through back channels to at least grant a ceasefire in Ukraine.

Ukraine is holding on so well that Russia is depending on Iran and North Korea to keep it's war effort afloat.

Russia felt compelled to spark proxy conflicts to try to split the support away from Ukraine.

And now Ukraine is hitting Russia where it hurts: it's oil and gas industry.

What a weird definition of failing.

I wonder if you call Russia's invasion of Ukraine a success.
Don't make it a configuration option, restrict the option to only very specific conditions, require multiple approvals and verifications, limit the duration of the configuration (e.g., it disables after 7 days unless reset), audit it, etc etc.

The Apple Watch has best in class health sensors + fitness monitoring. Cycle tracking, blood O2 sensing, ecg function are all truly valuable.

I bought a watch for myself, my parents and my girlfriend. The prompting and social aspects of the “close your rings” exercise tracking have already led to a ~10 bpm decrease in my girlfriend’s resting heart rate, suggesting a marked improvement in her cardiovascular health.

Personally, I find the Apple Watch somewhat ugly, but the fitness features are worth the sartorial limitations!
Yes, I think this is key. This blog post and the quotes in the article are calling this a "gaffe", but in an organization the size and complexity of Microsoft, I'd say that mistaken permissions assignments are inevitable. So I don't think it's really helpful to focus on the "someone in a 220k person company made a mistake at some point" angle.

However, at most companies there is usually a hard thick line between production and test systems. Granting production access to a test account should be basically impossible, so how that happened should be what the investigation should focus on.
In Star Trek holo decks used whatever convenient plot device that was necessary for the story.
That's not correct. If you trade on information tipped to you by insiders, you are also guilty of insider trading, even though you didn't have any fiduciary duty towards the company.

2) Constantly nags me that I am muted. Close the window and it pops up another one.

3) Notifies me of completely irrelevant things like a person was added to a meeting as if it was a chat message.

4) Meetings and calling seem to rely on some kind of peer to peer system that can break horribly with out anyway to diagnose the issue (e.g. works differently depending on how you access a meeting or call).
Well I didn’t want to explicitly insinuate that it seems he didn’t have those. And it’s better to put someone with experience in place imo. Again this is only if you really care which he seems to do since he asked.
Ask HN: What is the future of Fintech? Is it AI?
Hey guys, Recently I have been working on a small project on Fintech+AI and wanted your feedback, not only on the product but your understanding of the sector itself.

I have few years of experience working in the Indian Fintech ecosystem but now I see saturation. I have seen digital wallets, P2P money transfers, BNPL, Neo-banks and everything new that can be done. But what is the future or is it the end of Fintech innovation?

I have tried to build in B2C Fintech and adding AI to make a personal financial advisor but people have a lot of concerns with privacy. "Will my info be used for training", "Where is my data going into" and a lot of similar questions I am seeing.

What can I build and how can I build it? While adding AI to everything is getting hype how can I make it sustainable?

I really wanna solve a "Real Problem" for users and innovate in this area. Currently it's just a SISP.

Just because Car and Driver hasn't published an expose doesn't mean the information isn't public. Presumably lots of other independent (and non-independent) technicians have noticed the same thing. Your observation may be sampling error or not something that is sufficiently noteworthy to have percolated up to all the car forums out there en masse.
Yeah, I don't think creating educational materials makes sense from an economical perspective, but it's one of my hobbies that gives me joy for some reason :). Hah, and 'insane amount of work' is probably right -- lots of sacrifices to carve out that necessary time.
Yeah probably but there's a minutes long video with close ups.

In my mental model its wheels attached in different way that rotate around an axis perpendicular to the ground. I call in wheels because moves the things around.

I'm really confused by the confusion. Isn't it obvious on the video that its cylindrical objects that can be considered thick disks and wouldn't all disks rotate on the round surface around the axis?

Capitalism is just a system based around the belief that capital appreciation is the ultimate end goal, and the ends justify the means. Everything is fine so long as the GDP keeps going up.
This did happen and I don't think there's a lot of prevarication to be done about how bad it was, but if we're talking about it as a way of imputing original sin to the citizens of Israel, it's worth keeping in mind that most of them are descendants of Arab Jewish people who were counter-Nakba'd --- chased from their homes across the Middle East and North Africa by pogroms.

I get why you'd respond to the previous comment, though, which reads as if it's an attempt to deny the events of the Palestinian Nakba. You're right to do that. All I'm here to say is that the 20th century history of that region is complicated and no simple narrative will get anybody to where we are today.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

My understanding of his comment is indeed what you've now correctly described as my understanding of it.

The different understanding you have would be a meaningless comment because it would just be a tautology. In me eyes, that wasn't the conversation being had, not on either side. Upon re-reading it, I continue to think that.

And yes, I am very much a native speaker.
IANAL but I imagine corporate policies are stricter than the law here. I have a hard time imagining people getting prosecuted for "insider trading" based on earnings reports half an hour after they become public, but trading windows still generally prohibit that.
One hypothesis: the cipher needs regular key rotation? E.g. (not what WPA3 actually does):

> Encryption keys should be changed (or rotated) based on a number of different criteria: (...) After the key has been used to encrypt a specific amount of data. This would typically be 2^35 bytes (~34GB) for 64-bit keys and 2^68 bytes (~295 exabytes) for 128 bit keys.

Yes, I know and I've used several types. They remain extremely niche exactly because they don't achieve anything like the natural walking feel people imagine these systems would provide.
Even ignoring whether you’re right or whether you are simplifying in a fair or unfair manner, I think it’s unhelpful to treat people as though they are mere continuations of their predecessors.

All living Gazans were born after the 700s. The vast majority were born after 1948. Most were born after 1967.

Telling people that their very real problems may stem from the misbehavior of dead, long dead, and extremely long dead people, even if those people are their ancestors, doesn’t change the fact that actual living Gazans have very real problems.

> Of course, you should always be in the right lanes except for passing.

I used to adhere to this but it does not work in practice.

Right lanes have the highest churn-- people getting off, people getting on. If you're not planning to do either, you have no business being on that side of the road.

This idea about left lanes only being for passing only ever works when you're overtaking a tractor doing 15mph on a country road. The concept does not scale to freeway speeds or traffic. You're not legally passing anyone already doing 70.
Huh. Here I thought I'd totally lost my mind because every time I open teams on my phone it takes down my cellular connection. As in I can't use teams on my phone because it instant disconnects me from the Visible network. I thought I was losing my mind until I found other people with the problem.
Nobody walks like that. I guess it only works if walk like a teenager sneaking out of the house late at night.
I was reminded that live bridges are also still allowed, e.g. how "Microsoft Phone Link for iPhone" works. So keep in mind even with banning relays there are officially supported ways an app can MITM iMessage traffic, regardless of bubble color you see on your end.
"Public" doesn't mean the company has publicly announced it - just that the information is available to the public. The situation you're describing is very similar to the Boeing situation above. You just happen to be the first person aware of the news, because your job provides you the ability to see a bunch of cars and understand how their quality is trending. Nor is it any different than you buying, say, one of the first Rivans, thinking the QC was horrible, and shorting the stock.

Regardless of when you learned it, the quality of BMW's cars (in this example) became public information when they started selling them to the public.

Now, however, if an internal employee told the technician that BMW had removed all QA checks from their line, and (s)he should expect quality to fall precipitously in the years ahead, that would be different.
Very good point.

To be clear, I'm not saying that Apple is the same as Putin; there's different kinds of "voting" in any government system. But I really like the way you phrase that: "consolidation of product categories" is a really good description of how Apple's ecosystem works, and it's clear (to me at least) that this consolidation is purposeful and deliberate; Apple wants iOS to be a composite product that is all-or-nothing. And you're completely right that both votes and purchases are often at best decisions about the entire composite ecosystem as a whole and not about the individual parts of those ecosystems.

The consequence is that once consumers are in a place where there are only a few choices about ecosystems that actually make sense to use, there's no longer pressure to change the parts that people don't like as long as the overall ecosystem still remains better than the alternatives. In the same way that single-issue voting allows parties to pass otherwise unpopular policies in other areas, products can excel in specific important areas that allow companies to ignore other flaws and criticisms in other areas. It's very easy for markets to hit local maximums where having a clear market winner in a particular category removes any incentive for the market to otherwise improve, because improving those areas would require at least temporarily moving away from the current best choice.
