Well:

- I know many companies try to penalize remote workers in salary and career terms even if they bring the same value from remote or in the office, but I also know this is not for socially sound reasons: giants simply need people in cities to keep up their service-centric economy, a model HARMFUL for the humanity, small and medium want to follow the big just for ignorant reactionarism;

- I know how absurd is the hybrid model "hey, if you comply to our desire, harmful for you and the society at a whole, but we want if to exploit you, we gives you some small potatoes advantages you might think they are nice while they are not" but most seems simply to not care because they are already inhabited to city life and fear the change;

- I know WFH will happen anyway but in a VERY HARMFUL manner, with digital nomads on one side, slaves living in goshiwong without even knowing what it means living in their own homes, and I know the outcome for us all.

About the hard part of changing life, I know, I've done it myself. But I also know that for schools the mean/long term future is the remote model with some very curated and improved video lessons with a local teacher just to respond questions, offer support to dig deeper etc, in a campus-style model to offer the social part of schools to children, so remain in a city, choose to avoid the change, means only delay something that MUST happen anyway harming their child in the long term to not touching them in the short one.

The world do change, we do not have the crystal ball of course, but something is clear enough, and trying to keep up "the old known way" is trying to remain on the large sinking boat fearing the lifeboat.

Is listing really such a key feature that people use it as a database to find objects?

Have not used S3, but that is not how I imagined using it.
Id actually prefer this option.

Sometimes I have questions that don’t need the provider’s time, but there is no way to get ahold of anyone else in the office (the practice is part of a large hospital system and calls are answered by a call center that knows nothing)
All three points are legitimate. Embarrassing to have that level of tech and then "his tiny boat sparked as he turned to graze our city..."
I had major misconceptions about Buddhism for years, and avoided anything related. This was probably because of a very toxic (Christian) religious upbringing that left me very suspicious of anything resembling religion.

When I started getting curious (and later serious) about meditation and then started going down the rabbit hole of understanding Buddhism, I couldn’t believe just how completely different it was than I was expecting, and how useful it was without taking on any metaphysical or otherwise religious beliefs.

I also find myself dancing around the details when I talk about meditation now. The misconceptions run deep, and I always feel compelled to clarify that I’m not talking about anything religious. I often think about how I would introduce a past me to these concepts without scaring that person away. I think it boils down to focusing on the philosophical ideas and experiential possibilities without touching any of the jargon.
If aliens visit earth why would they only reveal themselves to the US Government? Surely they'd make their presence obvious to all not just some arbitrary, abstract group of us.
Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Buy 3 sets all at once or buy from a different manufacturer, which will probably have cheaper and better panels after 30 years.

30 years is a long time to figure things out.

I've always found the alien encounter/abduction phenomenon interesting as folklore and myth. Aliens are basically faeries and goblins for a post-industrial, technological zeitgeist. Unfortunately there's a lot of racist and antisemitic undertones behind a lot of it, particularly the reptilian and ancient astronaut stuff.
With no effective filtering they would get higher levels of toxins only if they had lower levels to begin with, or visa versa. The transfusion would tend to revert their plastic levels toward the mean. That's not a bad compromise compared to the toxic effect of so many medicines that we tolerate when treating something worse.
It seems to overlook that the language model was developed using a large corpora of code, which probably includes structured fuzzers for file formats such as GIF. Plus, the scope of the "unknown" format introduced is limited.
> The question isn’t if it’s possible, because of course it is, the question is if it’s portable and well supported with the POSIX interface. Because if it’s not, then…

Where did this goalpost come from? S3 is not portable or POSIX compliant.
This is kinda my point, we see something like a UAP and we assume it's enormously advanced technology compared to what we know, but the reality is, what we've "seen" is only one major discovery in physics ahead of where we are today.

To someone in 1850, the concept of the atomic bomb, a technology that would give humans the power to end all life on earth, would have seemed unfathomably more advanced than their understanding of human capabilities.
i never used win1 - did anyone? i did use win2, because at the BBC all our horrible Apricot IBM-compatibles (hollow laugh regarding compatibility) came with it installed. what we used it for was playing the othello game, and that alone.

basically, win3 was the first useable version of windows, and the one that got me into windows programming. and say what you like about MS, they do tend to stick with things once they get started,
From what I’ve heard, it’s a terminological issue. Asking if the government is hiding products of inter-dimensional entities might yield a different answer. You have to use some very narrow or exact terminology.
That's a big stretch, since 1940s includes 1945. Also, I think the Pentagon was busy with something else in the 1940-1945 time frame.
It means if we fail there is nothing.

Certainly could be a relationship there.
Phones have touch screens that are better touch-based MIDI controllers than paper+camera :) I've successfully played songs on phone pianos.

However, neither solution is even close to a tactile instrument.
I suppose the idea is that only the US Government has sufficient technology to detect the aliens.
We have no parameters for any of the terms in any model of this, so we have no idea how likely or unlikely it is.
Code written against s3 is not portable either. It doesn’t support azure or gcp, much less some random proprietary cloud.
That one's for Christmas.
But the difference there is that the mechanic is selling things that aren't his. The CEO & friends are making decisions that are their within their remit to make, they just made poor decisions.

People have been making similar arguments since the development of the limited liability company. It turns out that limiting liability is a far better system than the alternative for getting good things done.

We've already got a problem where all the manufacturing is heading to Asia. Criminal penalties hanging over the heads of CEOs of manufacturing companies will not help the situation.

Shall I cite my list of CVE? Or perhaps it would be more interesting to cite my list of unfixed 0days.

> It doesn't even apply in this instance, since Apple's work on fingerprint resistance still results in real privacy improvements even when later shown to be imperfect. It means Apple has to improve what they've already done, not that what they've done so far is mere "marketing" or "theatre".

What does it say about Apple engineering that that they keep shipping features with very obvious and/or predictable flaws?
try gramscii, and aamath for math formulae.
there isn't really any (publicly available) evidence at all supporting alien visits that i know of. i like to read the ufo theories and stuff for fun but generally even the extremely compelling ones start to fall apart when you dig deep enough into them. the one thing that is actual fact is that there have been numerous cases of reliable witnesses reporting unidentified objects doing weird stuff in the sky which haven't been explained, but that's probably a lot more likely to mean a million other things before it means aliens.

personally i'm in the "alien life definitely exists but it probably hasn't been here" camp, but i've never seen a convincing debunk of the nimitz tic tac uap. again though, it's not evidence of alien visitors, it's just evidence that some people saw something weird.
Doctor John Campbell is a good place to start:

This video focusses on the aspiration technique, and the consequences of inadvertantly giving an mRNA injection intravenously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBaIRm4610o&t=13s&ab_channel...

His bio:

"My name is John Campbell and I am a retired Nurse Teacher and A and E nurse based in England. I also do some teaching in Asia and Africa when time permits. These videos are to help students to learn the background to all forms of health care. My PhD focused on the development of open learning resources for nurses nationally and internationally."
Intelligent* life may exist elsewhere and just never be able or inclined to reach us. Say we find out there's intelligent life as close to us as Alpha Centauri. It would still take us probably 100,000+ years to get there with current technology, so why even bother traveling? Even sending a probe would take thousands of years.
Thanks again. I changed my Klipper configuration (the KDE clipboard application) to synchronize selection and clipboard. In addition, I added a global shortcut (F1) to execute this little script:

https://bpa.st/WORA

It reads the clipboard (equal to the current selection) via wl-paste and sends a request to the Claude API via curl. Finally, it filters the response with jq (very crude) and displays it with notify-send. I have a second version of the script that sends the result via XMPP to Gajim because the answers can be quite long.

I think the experience should be similar to the one on MacOS.
Try reading Left Hand of Darkness to understand why they might try to slowly introduce themselves via a local governing body
Here’s hoping they pay for their cost-cutting crimes (yeah I know it’s not a crime per se but the efforts are putting people at undue risk, allegedly). And that it’s followed up by a civil case. And that the criminal case causes the board and management to change and the civil case somehow makes workers and victims whole.

I assume you’re not being intentionally dishonest, but have instead been taken in by propaganda, so allow me to remind you that the primary purpose and effect of incarceration is preventing reoffending. Fortunately a tiny minority commits the vast majority of violent crimes[1], so considerable reduction can be achieved by containing those criminals’ ability to commit crimes.

Interesting research

https://github.com/porscheofficial/speed-estimation-traffic-...
Of course they were smart enough not to make a factual claim like Murray was intentionally getting people killed. They were able to convey the same message using jokes and a few cherry picked facts, and thus be immune to defamation suits.

With jokes like "looks like a geriatric Dr. Evil", "appears to be on the side of black lung", and "[his political activity is] the equivalent of watching My Girl and rooting for the bees" they suggested that Murray was evil without making any actionable claims.

And in their show after the case was dismissed, they embraced the "who in his right mind would take [this] seriously" defense wholeheartedly: accusing Murray of things like being Epstein's prison guard.

Factual (even if obviously untrue), but not defamation because, much as the court wrote in the case against Tucker Carlson (and before that, a similar case against Rachel Maddow): “the statements are rhetorical hyperbole and opinion commentary intended to frame a political debate, and, as such, are not actionable as defamation”
Right, the NFS/CIFS support writing blocks, but S3 basically does HTTP get and post verbs. I would say that these concepts are the defining difference. To call S3 a filesystem is not wrong in abstract, but it’s not different than calling Wordpress a filesystem, or DNS, or anything that stores something for you. Of course, it will be inefficient to implement a block write on top of any of these, that’s because you have to literally do it yourself. As in, download the file, edit it, upload again.
One of those occasions I agree with Tyler Cowen:

Microsoft implements DMA compliance measures
That's how reporting and journalism works. No one watches a multi hour interview with Putin by Tucker Carlson. It's boring as hell and just Putin talking about his dreams. The only known instance of this would be the Frost-Nixon interviews, which occurred after the US elected an actual criminal to the highest office.

No one makes a career about reporting how the free coffee in the break room was changed to a pay your own way plan.
If alien technology were to reach Earth, it would probably be so advanced that we wouldn't recognize it. It's plausible that extraterrestrials capable of interstellar travel would no longer be biological entities. They might instead use drones, possibly engineered to be so small that they evade our detection.
Sure. It's kind of an index - limited to prefix-only searching, but useful.

Say you store uploads associated with a company and a user. You'd maybe naively store them as `[company-uuid]/[user-id].[timestamp]`.

If you need to list a given users (123) uploads after a given date, you'd list keys after `[company-uuid]/123.[date]`. If you need to list all users uploads, you'd list `[company-uuid]/123.`. If you need to get a set of all users who have photos, you'd list `[company-uuid]/` with a Delimiter set to `.`

The point is that it's flexible and with a bit of thought it allows you to "remove all a users uploads between two dates", "remove all a companies uploads" or "remove all a users uploads" with a single call. Or whatever specific stuff is important to your use-case, that might otherwise need a separate DB.

It's not perfect - you can't reverse the listing (i.e you can't get the latest photo for a given user by sorting descending for example), and needs some thought about your key structure.

But their client has to lie, even if they're not fully guilty of the crime -- it takes just one small offhand admission of guilt related to the crime in a seemingly private space, for the police and the prosecution to pin the entire crime on them.

The system is not built on forgiveness. It will punish you fully regardless the severity of your actual crime.

The fact that the author has no sympathy nor understanding of this, leads me to believe that they're not doing the job for the right reasons.
UFO subreddits claim AARO is purposefully set at a too low classification level to actually find any of this data. I do not have the knowledge whether the claim is true or not nor do I understand the USGOV classification system, but would like to hear from anyone that can shed light on it.
I'm not sure why you think that is more likely though?

Real advancements are often zeitgeist: plenty of people discovering things in parallel.

Military doesn't have the money to do every research hidden in parallel.

Alone for the fact that you would need to create a shadow society (to make sure you are not getting sold out

whether or not it's likely, it's worth considering that there could be an Atlantis/Wakanda scenario with a technologically advanced civilisation - human or not - co-existing secretly with us on earth.

given the state of human avarice, I find it hard to believe that there could be technology this advanced being held by the US, or any of the other powers, that wouldn't be being (ab)used to further dominate the world stage
The GEODSS system has been looking for un-identified space objects since the 1980s. Only three sites are still running, though; there were once seven or so.
It still finds most of the near-earth asteroids. The USAF's 15th Space Surveillance Squadron runs the three remaining sites.

Each location has a pair of telescopes some distance apart, with CCD sensors and computer control. They scan the sky each night, record data, and automatically compare that with star catalogs and catalogs of orbital objects. New objects are logged. Because there are two coordinated telescopes some distance apart, distance can be obtained by triangulation. That's good out to earth orbit. That's how the US finds new satellites.

Interestingly, it can detect dark objects. If something blocks a star, that's noticed, because the system has a star catalog. If something blocks a star from view by both telescopes, and the star field in that area is otherwise normal, that's a hit. Not well known is that GEODSS has a light source. One of the telescopes can use a laser to illuminate satellites, so the other telescope can take a better picture.

If something is up there orbiting on a regular basis, GEODSS will detect it. This is where automated, computerized astronomy began.

MIT's Lincoln Lab operates LINEAR, which is a similar system using 1990s technology.[2] About 90% of near earth object discoveries came from LINEAR. This was kind of discouraging for amateur astronomers, who used to discover and report such objects. LINEAR did that automatically, in bulk.

There's a lot of automated sky-watching going on.

That seems implausible.

If a government invented the Newcomen steam engine, but kept it secret... what would happen?

(a) There would have been far slower development, because as many ideas wouldn't have been tried, because it was secret.

(b) There would have been mysterious black box engines wherever it was used, or power sheds with big DO NOT ENTER signs.

Point being, you can't have a secret technology AND have it develop at the pace of an open technology AND use it.

Specifically for aerospace/engine applications, the government would use the craft for... what?

Can't fly it where it might be shot down. Can't fly it over populated areas. What the heck do they do with it that's useful?

From the article we're commenting on, which is comparing the interface of S3 to the POSIX interface. Not any given filesystem + platform specific interface.
And yet, at the start of the atomic age, the power of a nuclear bomb was not really far beyond what could be achieved with conventional explosives. So an early a-bomb from a distance would not have been that impressive to a pre-nukes farmer.
There are no specific syscalls that you can use for this. The libc functions and the syscalls are extremely similar.
Wow, yes, I remember not having a mouse. Someone in the office had an expansion board which would add one, which I borrowed. Then I wanted a graphics program, but it was really hard to find one. Wish I could remember what I used.
The person I replied to specifically brought up "mass immigration". Labor was already brought into this discussion.
>Nothing will happen because the government is in bed with these folks and they don’t implicate their own

Even if they're bed with each other, the people in government are sitting at an infinitely longer lever. They'll throw the Boeing folks under the bus as soon as it is politically expedient and replace them with a different set of cronies.
i really don't understand the "aliens would be more advanced than us so they wouldn't care about us at all" line of thinking. we study less advanced animals and plants from this planet extensively and how "advanced" any of it is just isn't a factor. if we had the opportunity to study even primitive alien life, it would unequivocally be the most interesting and profound moment in the entire history of our species.
He should understand the position his clients are in, where one small admission could lead to an entire sentence pinned on them.

While he might not like it because it makes his job difficult, he should nonetheless understand it and at least pretend to sympathize on some level.
"Asking if the government is hiding products of inter-dimensional entities might yield a different answer."

...for a hypothetical government agency that would hesitate to keep secrets or tell lies. There might even be such a thing, somewhere, we can't totally discount the possibility. But that's hard to imagine for a military-adjacent unit.
If by surface you mean a 2-dimensional manifold, then no. The Nash embedding threorms give upper bounds for how big the embedding target dimension needs to be for any n-dimensional manifold. In the case of 2-dimensional surfaces, at worst you'll need 51 = 2×(2+1)×(3×2+11)/2 dimensions. Mind this is for isometric embeddings (ones that don't squish things around in a sense), which is kind of the most stringent constraint possible. If you allow squishing things around, then the upper bounds get even smaller.

Since you supplied your own rhetoric about these people and their lives, I'll offer another.

These people lie because they know they did it but are trying to avoid the consequences since they got caught, their first instinct is to convince anyone who will talk to them, and after the first few times where that doesn't work out, they finally get the lesson to only talk to their lawyer. But, they carried forward the same behavior.

Now instead of trying to convince the people before, they're now trying to convince the lawyer that they weren't even there, they were asleep even. But, they live with other people who don't share their alibi, they made a call using their phone just 15 minutes before the crime took place, or cite the classic SODDI when that all fails, like Marcel and Kyle.

Sometimes people are irrational, forgetful, and however unfathomably unlikely: stupid. Sometimes people cite "experience" to lead their path through life, but really they mean "familiarity" with the situation, they really haven't learned anything.

I'll use the authors own thoughts here to affirm:

> No, the lying doesn't come from a lack of trust but rather a manipulation attempt. Their overriding goal is to get off the charges no matter what it takes, so they're willing to flip through and latch onto whatever narrative helps them get there. They basically want me to be a ventriloquist and use me to launder their talking points because it's more believable coming from me. Of course as I pointed out, they don't really think the plan all the way through.
> Can't fly it where it might be shot down. Can't fly it over populated areas. What the heck do they do with it that's useful?

Keep it as an ace up your sleeves?
