It's "foul" play.

To the extent that I do not think it would even be admissible in court in many (all?) states. Hearsay, not under oath, not cross-examinable. Just as possible she misunderstood the dark joke of an obviously suicidal and self-reflective man as people like you and me at Boeing literally arranged to have someone killed lmao.

I can basically only think of more plausible explanations: coincidental victim of murder, suicidal due to stress of whistle-blowing, witness misheard, witness misunderstood, witness made it up…

I can really hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped around here lately.
It doesn't benefit Boeing because of all of this brainless conspiracy thinking, and his allegations over the past 5 years had nothing to do with the current 737 MAX stuff. It was all 787 related which by all reports has been a successful, safe aircraft. The horse has been out of the barn, his words were reported in the NYTimes years ago. Assassinating him now had no upside for Boeing and large downside because of all this predictable inane speculation.
If you think lab-grown meat is anything other than a massive accelerrant to the problem of antibiotic resistance, you've got another thing coming.

A bioreactor is basically just an animal with a severely curtailed feature set - limited homeostasis, no sense organs, cognition, locomotion, etc.

Crucially, a bioreactor has no immune system. It's a soup of muscle cells with basically no defense against external pathogens. Sterile technique will only get you so far, especially at scale. Lab-grown meat pretty much constitutionally requires constant antibiotic input. It's the price you pay for stripping the concept of animal as meat machine down to its most basic essence.
I'm not. I'm no longer a SWE, but I still write software to support my business. I just can't picture AI solving even the basic hurdles of my work without significant work on my part.

Right now I'm crawling apartment listings across multiple websites. It's tedious work, but it's not challenging. AI can't even figure _that_ out. I can't imagine it sitting in meetings and making sense of complex real world problems.
Because in Russia it is an open message to the public 'don't mess with the KGB or we kill you and maybe your children'. Everybody knows and understands who is the sender and the message. Classic mafia move of intimidation. It is a message to the living.

In the Western World the secret services kill to silence people, not to broadcast messages to the public.
Quite the opposite PR strategy.

> But I do have the impression that copyright is kept as long as it is not signed over.

The US has the "work for hire" concept - if an employee creates work as part of their regular duties, their employer is considered both the author and the copyright owner.

For example, if you have employees take photographs of finished products, using company devices, on company time, and as part of their assigned duties, there is essentially zero question that the copyright owner of those photographs is the employer, regardless of whether this is explicitly lined out in an employment agreement.

The employment agreement definitely helps in that it preempts most disputes over what the employer's expectations are, but it is by no means necessary.

This is a very interesting approach, and the rules and principles are very sensible. It's nice to see something that tries to really use the platform and emphasize semantic HTML.

Of course, as with any convention-based, getting everyone to follow the rules might be difficult, although the stylelint-config helps.

It would be helpful to see an example of the ruleset applied to a large-ish solution. There are a lot of rules, so it's kind of hard to imagine what it would look actually look like in the css.

Could you elaborate a little on what you mean by “just-in-time” rulesets and how rule 22 ("Component styling should only be served with live components.") works in practice? Are you referring to web components?

Go doesn't have an instruction (execution) or function call tracer. Go's tracer is primarily tracing scheduler events. So maybe the term scheduler tracer should have been used?

Anyway, using the term "execution tracer" in Go goes back to the initial design doc from 2014: https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1FP5apqzBgr7ahCCgFO-y...
That's true. I hope with proper sandboxing Microsoft will allow self signed certs for such apps. I can understand the risk when an application can access literally everything of the user's, but the level of trust needed for sandboxed apps is less.

IKEA sells many products in a couple tiers. E.g. if you get the cheapest billy bookcase it'll just about barely hold up if it's full of books and you don't nudge it. If you get one of the more expensive models it'll be surprisingly sturdy instead.

Same sort of thing applies to nearly all their products. Yes they sell cheap crap -- that still serves its purpose mind you -- but they also sell slightly more upscale furniture that'll actually survive a couple decades.

And it's not like going for a "normal" furniture store is any guarantee either. My previous couch was from a regular furniture store and it broke right in half at around the 5 year mark. Upon inspection one of the cross members was significantly tapered, still had bark on it and everything. On one end it was a solid 2x4, on the other it was barely a 0.2x0.4.
Or they spare you, betting you'll leave on your own terms and they won't need to pay you a severance.
If you believe Epstein was murdered you are in a tiny, tiny, tiny minority of very gullible or very simple minded people. Upon a cursory review of both the facts of the matter and the very best arguments conspiracists can copy and paste, it is self-evident that he killed himself.
Also at that point some all doors are stuck in mud
No. If you’re concerned that you might get murdered, and want to make it clear that you have no intention of killing yourself, telling your one friend about it in a conversation in the midst of moving a sofa with no records to prove it whatsoever is the worst possible way of doing it.

Tweet it, send it in a message, leave a note in your home. But, “hey push that side, and let’s lift this in 3..2…. oh by the way I have no intention of killing myself… 1… go! There you go”. No. That doesn’t check out. Even if that conversation actually took place, it’s not helpful at all because it’s so easy to dismiss as hearsay. That’s actually a curse you put on your friend if it really happened.

EDIT: Apparently, the aforementioned help in the article was being a pallbearer at the friend’s father’s funeral. That turns out to be a less and less proper conversation for the occasion.
I wonder if this is a space where apple (and other webcam providers) would benefit from surfacing some API to the software. To allow an instance to instance control over these confetti features. So context the software is used in, can decide whether the call is a serious business call or family catchup where silliness is allowed. Eg it would be off by default in your orgs Microsoft teams, but on when you skyped friends and family.

On the other hand, it sounds like from the article, that the small gaffes from this technology sometimes help break up what can otherwise be a very impersonal experience. All else being equal, a lot the sensory impressions in a face to face meeting must disappear, in projecting it down into a 2d videofeed. So exaggerating what is left, even if it misses sometimes, maybe makes for a better experience.
I feel like beds are in the same category. There is a sea of choice, but very hard to distinguish which is actually higher quality... or if the price difference has tangible benefits (better sleep, etc.).
So? Is that like dihydrogen monoxide? If it is actually bad, ban it everywhere and not just school lunches. Otherwise, the nutrition seems like a much more important issue than "rehydrated".

Cyclists always have an excuse for not following the rules...until someone else breaks the rule that benefits the cyclist, then it's the end of the world and you get sworn at like you have just tried to murder them. As a pedestrian, I am more afraid of cyclists and scooters than of cars. Cars actually stop and give way to me, cyclists and scooters never do. They block the footpaths and pedestrian crossings, they ride on the footpath (not allowed here), they ride on the wrong side of the road and in the middle of the lane, they ride through red light while pedestrians are crossing in front of them, I have even seen them ride through red light into intersection in front of busses and cars and pretend there was nothing wrong with that expecting other vehicles to stop.
People on two wheels are just the most self absorbed inconsiderate a-holes.

> Why is it shady when done properly?

The issue is that it isn't.

The economics of it don't militate in favor of diligence and precision. An individual claim is rarely going to be for a lot of money so to turn it into a profitable business it requires scale. At which point they typically rely on automated systems with a significant false positive rate that don't take into account possible fair use etc. Meanwhile the coercion to settle applies just as much to an innocent party, because the premise is "pay a little to avoid an expensive court battle" which is still coercive even if you could win in court.

Practices that involve shaking down innocent people are shady.

My source was also the Lawful Masses stream, but it sounded like the original excuse was made in April, but it took until November for him to actually produce the death certificate to prove that he had lied about when his grandfather had died.
I believe that there are contributors currently working on a one thread per connection version of PostgreSQL. It's a huge amount of work so I wouldn't expect it to be released tomorrow.

Regarding wide updates, I believe that HOT updates already partially solve this problem.

Is the objective measure of “well” a low defect rate? Because it sounds like you’re leaving a substantial amount of the value of an experienced employee on the table if your measure is “does it do exactly what we asked for it to do” rather than “does it solve our problems”.
It's actually the health insurance industry. But thank you for your concern.
I didn’t check the code but there would be a few good ways to specify what you want:

* browser extension that lets you record a few actions
* describing what you want to do with text
* a url with one or two lines of desired JSON to extract
An additional bit of context for why this is so annoying - Microsoft recently switched code signing to physical hardware only, meaning you must buy a server with a HSM, a USB security key, or use a more expensive CA. There's no longer any free CAs for this.
From what I know, this wouldn't work. I worked for a telco and the way they explained it to me is that SIMs for these purposes are not the same as consumer SIMs. They end up on a different network using a different APN and they typically go straight to a VPN or other private network for their owner. And no, you can't reconfigure them to the consumer APN (I asked). (This was not in the US btw.)
> The article we're commenting on, where a friend attests he was told explicitly that any "suicide" is fowl play.

Isn't there obvious reporting bias here? People typically don't go around saying "btw I'm going to kill myself, if that happens assume it's not foul play", so it shouldn't be too surprising that people kill themselves even though they said they wouldn't. Moreover people who actually tell people they're going to kill themselves likely will receive intervention (eg. suicide watch/hospitalization), which further drives up the relative rate of people committing suicide "unexpectedly".
Not "Boeing" in its official capacity, but it has a lot of executives and shareholders, only one of which needs to have the hubris to think they can get away with it. That seems a lot more likely.
You can't say no. Google thinks that's rude.
It might be "terrible" but it is the only functional UI available for who doesn't have a tiktok/9gag addled brain
Every single person in the previous thread who ridiculed others for saying that suicide was _not_ the most likely explanation needs a serious re-evaluation of their priors.
I think you should prepare to be surprised.
Contrary to popular belief, there is not a readily and highly available supply of assassins and hitmen in the world.

The problem with this whole "he totally didn't kill himself" thing is...okay, so how did they kill him? Because you can't just put a gun in the hand of an unwilling person and force them to shoot themselves without leaving evidence.
There is so, so much corruption and white collar "Yakuza" crime in Japan, the economy is going totally backwards along with the population and here is where the effort is going?

Good thing the place has it's priorities straight.

I've never seen cyclists more well behaved than I have in Japan so really not sure what problem they're trying to solve here.
The similar app I am using is Frog (https://getfrog.app) with great sucesss.
It's mandatory on all sandboxing systems and for good reasons: sandboxing and identity are intimately related. To be usable the OS must cache permissions you grant the app but if your app isn't signed then nothing stops another app impersonating you and using your cached permissions.

This is true for literally every user-facing sandboxing system even when it may seem that it's not the case. For example, the web ties app identity to the domain name from where it was downloaded, but asserted domain name isn't good enough so in practice browsers require SSL/TLS for most permissions (which requires a certificate and is a form of pseudo-"signing").

It's even true on Linux. The designs on Linux aren't as robust or decentralised as on macOS or Windows, but packages are signed there too by your distro provider. Although you can install packages from outside the distro and thus work around this system, by doing so you disable any protections against apps stealing cached resources (exception: I think Flatpak doesn't have this problem but it uses a more store-like model where the store operators are expected to stop apps impersonating each other and if you install other "stores" then all bets are off again).

Now all that said. Conveyor (see my other post in this thread) can produce self-signed MSIXs, and those are fully fledged MSIX packages that will be able to take part in sandboxing when it's finally released. Installing such packages requires admin elevation because the installer has to add your self-signed root certificate to the user's trust store, and that's equivalent to overriding the protections (you could then sign an app as if it came from anyone). But it can be useful in corporate environments where the certificate is pre-distributed via Active Directory.

I can see why they sold even fewer than Apple LISAs. Crazy prices.
Same with cookies settings, on many websites. I decline/refuse every time, while logged in, but they continue to ask every time, probably until I misclick. Some browser extensions help a bit to manage this, but the burden is still here.
That's a good example. Maybe I misunderstand the meaning of "shady" but I don't see toll bridge sales as such. It's either a perfectly legitimate deal or an outright fraud. It's not some grey area when selling toll bridge is semi-legal with courts disagreeing over whether to punish you or not.

You guys have WHAT?
MSIX already provides that. All apps run in a very lightweight "sandbox" that virtualizes file access to the user's AppData directory. Writes inside it are redirected to a package-private location that's blown away on uninstall. Same for registry writes. It means the OS can cleanly and immediately uninstall such packages.

Temp is also virtualized in the same way, although Conveyor devirtualizes it in some cases due to a Windows kernel bug.

This is just intended for keeping the system clean. Your app can devirtualize locations in AppData by requesting it in package metadata, if you need to modify files belonging other apps for example, see:

> not to mention its ElasticSearch grade full-text search capabilities.

I played with postgresql a while ago to implement search. It's not horrible. But it's nowhere near Elasticsearch in terms of its capabilities. It's adequate for implementing very narrow use cases where search ranking really doesn't matter much (i.e. your revenue is not really impacted by poor precision and recall metrics). If your revenue does depend on that (e.g. because people buy stuff that they find on your website), you should be a bit more careful about monitoring your search performance and using the right tools to improve performance.

But for everything else you only have a handful of tools to work with to tune things. And what little there is is hard to use and kind of clunky. Great if that really is all you need and you know what you are doing but if you've used Elasticsearch and know how to use it properly you'll find your self missing quite a few things. Maybe some of those things will get added over time but for now it simply does not give you a lot to work with.

That being said, if you go down that path the trigram support in postgres is actually quite useful for implementing simple search. I went for that after trying the very clunky tsvector support and finding it very underwhelming for even the simplest of use cases. Trigrams are easier to deal with in postgres and you can implement some half decent ranking with it. Great for searching across product ids, names, and other short strings.

It's still silly to not allow sandboxing of unsigned binaries. There could at least be a user sandbox where all non-signed apps can live. There could be an option for a temporary sandbox. And so on.

There could be many useful options which would still improve security incrementally.
