It's not clear if it was about a real coworker (she started working remotely "in October", and the post itself was made on October 17). It's also not clear that it was reported by a coworker - according to the lawsuit Block did not say whether any employees had complained. I'm sure there is tons of overlap between Block and Twitter so it might have just been backchanneled. Maybe it will come out in the lawsuit.
That does sound crazy. The sticker price for the brand new Subaru BRZ limited manual transmission I got in 2012 was $28k.
The other day I was driving through a school zone and it had that 25 mph radar screen. Most people did slow down, but it got me thinking. With modern cars being "smart", could govt offer a tax tax break for folks opting into the car sotware capping speeds dynamically?

Who's we? Americans? Sure that's fine for you, but Americans aren't exactly trustworthy outside of the US either and I say that as someone who's usually pro US. This sort of mentality just shows a lack of understanding of how most of the world sees the US. Even in places like say, france, the us is seen as an ally but a very untrustworthy one. Especially since out of all the confirmed backdoors up until now, most of them were actually US made.

If this backdoor turns out to be linked to the US, what would your proposal even solve?
It does look like that, and certainly, that may have been an additional factor, but the main issue is that this exit was the one closest to student housing (dorms and fraternity/sororities) and also to the men's locker room. It was very rare that folks would go out the fire door by the women's locker room, but it wasn't really adjacent to where the newest students would be.

To be clear, I identify as male, and have done so my whole life. So this wasn't like "young college male sees a woman to antagonize" or "college female sees sexism everywhere", so much as "young college male somehow believes that 'alarm will sound' is just a bluff".

Whether or not that's biological in nature, or just the way 19 year old men circa 2006 were socialized, I won't speculate. But I never saw a woman open that door.
So, is it correct to say Wayland, the process drawing everything on the screen by writing to a gpu framebuffer, is just another linux process with escalated privilege?

I'm not gonna speculate about whether its biological or something to do with how 19 year old men ca 2006 had been socialized up to that point. All I'm saying is that it happened dozens of times, and it was never a woman who pushed that door open.
No kidding, part six literally opens with:

> I do not believe ADHD is an inherent thing.

They just put those cards right on the table, lol. No hesitation!

What I think a lot of people don't realize is that ADHD is classified as a neurodevelopmental disorder alongside stuff like autism. Which means attention and executive function are only a piece of the larger puzzle; ADHD's biggest impacts on me as a kid were (1) difficulty regulating emotions and (2) general social stunted-ness. I still struggle with the former, I thankfully caught up on the latter (mostly :P), and "attention" issues have remained an undercurrent throughout.

Various medications, and not just stimulants(!) have helped on all fronts.

The headlines around this have definitely blown things up. Running a VPN service so you can snoop on how customers use other services is plenty scummy, no need for the catastrophising.
> The rise of income and wealth inequality is directly tied to the weakening of collective bargaining

That would make sense, but the data in the article do not seem to be cooperating.

1917-1950: Union membership up 3X. Top 1% share of income reduced by 2/3rds. Looks like a causal relationship!

1950-1980: Union membership is reduced by 1/2. Top 1% share of income... is reduced by 8/10ths? Huh.

1980-2020: Union membership is reduced by 1/2. Top 1% share of income goes up 10X. Basically the opposite of the previous period.

Technically, the Wankel rotary engine design allows much higher power output than an I-4 or even a V-6 engine design due to no strains on the rods, and much less strains on the piston(s) as those literally blow up all the time in I4 engine designs in similar power output ranges.

I've seen many very reliable 3 or 4 rotary wankel swaps in RX7 FD3S that output far beyond anything imaginable any V8/V12 could produce. 2000hp is not a joke here, when being run on pure ethanol as fuel input. Apart from fuel injectors, clutch and gearbox, these engines run very stable and reliable.

There was an RX-8 Blue model being sold in Japan which was burning hydrogen directly, effectively producing water as output, which, in the prototype was being converted back to hydrogen via a fuel cell. And this was in 2004.

I wish there were more Wankel engines being used as "pocket generators", because they can reliably run on synthesized alcohol and hydrogen and be a potential generator replacement for all that Diesel based crap that's being used in rural areas.

Imagine a solar roof on your house that produces hydrogen with some fuel cells (which also produce heat for your home). This could be the optimum cycle for use in a decentralized home, as chemical energy storage has no loss compared to li-ion batteries that have a limited lifetime. The multiple use of hydrogen (e.g. a stove just needs to burn the gas) also makes it very low tech, and possibly much more reliable than a circuit based system where transformers might fail over time.

But of course, can't sell decentralized approaches via gas stations, so it will never take off...

Is this something from a research finding or is it your idea?
This might be in the works already: with hybrids + full electric vehicles being increasingly used, the revenue from a fuel tax is dropping. There are regions investigating use-based taxes that track when and where vehicles are used, and assess a tax based on that information.

This is, of course, a frightening proposal for anyone who wants to keep even one shred of privacy, but so it goes ....
Krita is great. It’s the closest thing to what once we “paint shop pro” - a no-frills but still powerful pixel editor
Of course this only works if you really do have enough non-boring tasks that there's always one available to switch to, and if the boring tasks aren't so boring that you get bored with them before making enough progress.
Sure, some police somewhere have probably been sold a unit by one of the dozens of companies that have tried to commercialize this. They are a cute toy with very little practical use.

Most departments already have much better capabilities that allow them to do passive tracking (air units or other technologies) or mutual aid agreements with a larger department or a county/state asset that can.

This may be the status quo because of the so called "hardware lottery" which has historically been optimized for floating point. I'm speculating, but if hardware designers were instead only concerned about raw xnor density and throughput, we might end up with chips powerful enough that giant 1-bit nets could be trained purely through evolution.

I pushed YubiKey as a solution and explained in detail why SMS was an awful choice, but they went with SMS anyway.

It mostly came down to cost. SMS was the cheapest option. YubiKey would involve buying and sending the keys to customers, and they having the pain/cost of supporting them. There was also the feeling that YubiKeys were too confusing for customers. The nail in the coffin was "SMS is the standard solution in the industry" plus "If it's good enough for VISA it's good enough for us".

Digging holes at the beach is very dangerous. Collapsing wet sand can get in the lungs surprisingly easily, and peope can sufficant long before getting it out.

License plate readers (LPR) are common in cities and on motorways in UK; there are “Average Speed” zones where the LPR is accomplished by cameras mounted on overhead gantries spanning miles. Speeding tickets can be issued automatically if you break the speed limit between gantries. It’s always been weird to me the US doesn’t do this and often requires a trooper to pull you over and give you a written ticket. Note that not all motorways have this in UK, but those which do, you don’t see anywhere near as much excessive speed.

LPR is also used in UK by the Driver and Vehicle License Agency (DVLA) to oversee taxation of vehicles. No more “tabs” or license discs to display in your front window, it’s all LPR these days.

LPR databases are queryable by the security services and law enforcement — there are enough cameras in cities your location can be pinned down to “within a few streets”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_number-plate_recogni...

This isn’t a tracker on every vehicle but it’s pretty equivalent for drivers who don’t live in the middle of nowhere where LPR may only be deployed in major towns.

if I got it right, the attack uses glibc IFUNC mechanism to patch sshd (and only sshd) to directly run some code in liblzma when sshd verifies logins.

so the problem is IFUNC mechanism, which has its valid uses but can be EASILY misused for any sort of attacks
The DOJ case is requesting the opposite of your proposal. Although the alternate app store angle is what has been featured in the headlines, the case also requests for Apple to make various private iOS APIs available to 3rd-party apps, so if the DOJ prevails then the judge’s ruling could make various forms of API access limits illegal for all impacted APIs.
If you have a keylogger, they can also just take your session cookie/auth tokens or run arbitrary commands while you're logged in. MFA does nothing if you're logging into a service on a compromised device.
This kind of shallow dismissal is really unhelpful to those of us trying to follow the argument. You take a tone of authoritative expert, without giving any illuminating information to help outsiders judge the merit of your assertion. Why is it a very bad reading of the current situation? What is a better reading?

[...] using STUN.

I'm convinced no one actually knows what STUN is. I always see these references to STUN in P2P contexts. STUN is just a shitty protocol that shows what your external IP and port is. That's literally it. You can't use it by itself to do any kind of NAT traversal. There is an RFC that lists how to use STUN lookups to enumerate a NAT (but its far from definitive) and anything useful requires looking at other papers about NATs to apply the results. This is what you would need to do before you did hole punching.

[...] webrtc.

See, the thing about webrtc is: its a vague, low-quality spec. It uses over-simplified descriptions of peers, NATs, and hole punching algorithms, over a design that would provide better reachability. But the approach that webrtc takes is to just fallback to TURN for edge-cases (TURN is a proxy protocol.) The problem with that is it's likely that TURN will be used significantly for things like mobile devices due to symmetric NATs. This means maintaining infrastructure for your 'p2p' system when you don't have to.

Overall, I am a fan of the fact that webrtc is in the browser and its 'standardized' but I think that the actual implementation of what its trying to achieve doesn't work well for the real Internet.
They definitely exist for small RC aircraft, but they're very expensive.
I don't think anybody ignores the costs. It's just that every other option is more expensive.
How often are you supposed to "mark to market?" Quarterly?

What happens when the markets drop? Will employees accept seeing their comp drop?

I suppose you could offer some base level of compensation + have some market adjusted component? Having the entire salary marked to market creates uncertainty in annual compensation.

Or you give employees options on how frequently they want their salaries to be re-evaluated but that comes with the potential of going down?
SMS is fine on most countries. It’s just America is dumb and allows number transfers to anyone.
> "This version offloads the meta-data to the CPU, so only the binary weights and the low-rank adapters are stored in the GPU memory.", so the 8+8 scale / zero_point moves to the CPU. So GPU memory 1bit, but CPU meta data is the rest - very smart!

Doesn't it need all the weight metadata for a layer to use that layer?

* If yes, then can't any algorithm offload x% of its data as a balancing act between speed and RAM?

* If no, then what's it for and when does it get used?

I didn't light into him like a drill sergeant. And I didn't go off on every person who walked through that door. I just turned off my customer-service obsequiousness for once and directly stated (without yelling) what I thought: that his only mitigation, that it was an innocent mistake, reveals that he has absolutely no business attending a university.

But apparently, my comment (just checked, I never even used the word "scold") suggests to you that I must have been shouting him down, calling him a lazy, stupid asshole, for not walking the extra 100 feet through the correct exit, like everyone else had been doing, for months. Lord knows a part of me wanted to, but I am not the unhinged psychopath you clearly think I am.
There's a lot of interesting ways to do usage based vehicle tax that don't impact privacy or do so only minimally.

The simplistic is to just bin roads into N categories and every mile it increments your monthly usage category N road type. The categories could be anything like road type, time of day, current congestion level, etc. There's actually little reason to track the specific location or road name.
What? They're just asking for some features there?

My exact thoughts, although I would’ve been more blunt…

"Do you have anything to hide" is one of the worst sentences in existence.
There's an interesting phenomenon where a certain type of rapid-to-experience, entertaining content, often with an enjoyable twist, has become synonymous with the glaringly imperfect TikTok voice... and thus, conversely, creators use TTS to signal that their content is similarly entertaining. And as more and more traditional creators start to use TTS, real voices become devalued as a quality signal. Avoiding recording is only a part of the phenomenon!

https://gesserit.co/ (formerly tiktoktts) is one of the most popular ways to generate a TikTok-esque TTS voice outside of that platform. I don't think they could have chosen a better name!
Not a great strategy. Can't compare apples and oranges. Long term weakening their web offering will only strengthen their competition and likely have compounding effects against their app store. Maybe it's a short term thing for them. Seems a better way would be to embrace web and create the synergies with their existing offerings that boost both...but, I think this highlights the issue

It's not so much about a binary choice between app store vs web. I think it's more just, the web is not very "Apple". It's too open, wild. If they go "all in" on the web, they'd be afraid to risk "losing themselves" or fucking something up and creating a backlash.

That gas and oil come from Russia through intermediaries like Qatar and India. When they buy them and sell them to the US, its not 'Russian' oil or gas. Its Qatari gas, Indian oil. Then those are exported to Europe in probably the biggest scam of the century - create a war and cut the oil of someone first, then buy that oil yourself and sell it to that person.

The cops backing off doesn't make these people stop. Most of the time, people running from the cops keep right on speeding and running red lights, crashing within minutes of the chase being terminated. This does nothing to solve the problem of joyriders injuring and killing innocent people. They often attract attention of police because they're already driving in such a way that they are a lethal threat, and it is absurd to say "just let them be, chasing them might hurt someone or them." What's next, letting people trying to shoot others, keep firing because they or the public might get hurt?

Vehicles are lethal weapons. Full stop.

There is no legal right to evade police, or resist arrest. Full stop.

If you run from the cops, drive into oncoming traffic, hit speeds of 100+ MPH, or run lights, you are an imminent lethal threat to the general public and cops should treat you as such, with the power to do whatever it takes to end that threat as soon as possible, and if it risks or means killing you, tough shit. Don't run from the cops.

There is no difference between someone waving a gun around / shooting it and someone driving into oncoming traffic, flying through red lights, and doing 30+ MPH over the speed limit trying to get away from the cops.

Don't GPS tag the car. Don't follow them for hours. End the threat to the public just as you would any other imminent lethal threat to the public.

Develop spike strips that actually work. Blockade the roads so they're forced to stop by traffic. Use the "box" technique UK police do where they box the car in with 4-9 vehicles. Ram them off the road. Have a sniper put a fucking bullet through their head if you have to.

End the threat.

Watch how fast chases stop.
