Several car insurance companies in the United States (and perhaps elsewhere) have started pushing little devices that plug into your car's OBD2 port and narc on your for speeding, hard acceleration, etc. This is different from them buying vehicle data usage from third parties, because in this case they're "buying" it directly from the source, essentially for free.

DeleteMe is a product that was made in response to the productization of PII, so that's an interesting footnote in this conversation as well.

Crowdstrike's having a "Boeing" moment ...
I'll take that as a 'yes' then.

It's not that utopian to want a society where people aren't made homeless if they don't work. Finland did it - it worked great. It wasn't even that hard.

Also in a society where just eight people own as much as 4 billion. Maybe making 'jokes' denying that we're in late stage capitalism is an odd choice? Like, yeah, we're headed for destruction.. It's funny the way Ralph Wiggum's "I'm in danger" line is funny.
> Throughout this process, we’ve received feedback from a wide variety of stakeholders, including regulators like the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), publishers, web developers and standards groups, civil society, and participants in the advertising industry.

Chrome (and Google in general) has a tough problem of having to satisfy such diametrically opposed "stakeholders" -- being stuck in the middle and having to satisfy both "civil society" and "the advertising industry" means it won't do a great job at either, no matter what.
This was a very cool read. Programmers were programmers even back in the day of Mark I.

It is cool to see that they dabbled in natural language processing back then. This is years before Eliza and they were working on generating English prose based on English grammar. Very impressive!

The music generation program they wrote is equally impressive. The recording that was playing shows that they were adept enough to time events in the computer so good that they could playback songs. This was back in the early 1950s.
It's not a surprise to most people, but UBI proponents often explain the unworkable economics by saying it would make people earn more... or something.

I don't think realists really needed any evidence that normal people would love to quit their job and play computer games all day, but I guess this study wasn't for them.
Cagots didn't really have an option of assimilating besides moving to a different region, that's what was special about them. Jews on the other hand ussually would do reasonably fine after converting. Of course it varied a lot by location/period and belonging to a group or a specific community was very important in premodern societies. You'd lose your entire support network and while you might be lucky enough to live in a place were other Christians wouldn't be throwing rocks at you you'll probably never be fully accepted (your grandchildren etc. might).
> I'm not sure what people think inclusive hiring _is_

I bet you a lot of people think DEI is companies go "you're black, you're hired". Instead you're absolutely right, it's manipulating the pipeline so that 50% are the overall best and 50% are diverse. The "diverse" ones also have to do great in their interviews, no one is automatically hired.
If you run a hospital and find yourself unable to treat patients during an AWS outage, that should probably be a wake up call.

Almost certainly not. Probably someone with an axe to grind, not someone trying to make money.
Doesn't matter. Reselling a modified brand product can count as counterfeiting. Legal conditional checks don't always coincide with human instinctive one, law is code too after all.
Entropy is a property of a distribution, but since math does sometimes get applied, we also attach distributions to things (eg. the entropy of a random number generator, the entropy of a gas...). Then when we talk about the entropy of those things, those entropies are indeed subjective, because different subjects will attach different probability distributions to that system depending on their information about that system.

That is pretty much a given with hand grinders, whirling blades don't really work when hand cranking. They could use a different sort of burr or the flat stone style more commonly seen in flour mills or even the roller mill style but generally those just add more complexity with no gains other than volume in this case, my flour mill could probably go through a pound of coffee in the same amount of time as it takes my coffee grinder to do enough for a pot. Conical burr is the standard for hand cranked coffee grinders because it is self feeding and when designed correctly will do the job quickly enough for grinding a pot's worth.

Very interesting that it specifically calls out the little UK regulators rather than the much bigger US or EU bodies.
No but she can lie about the status of her birth control and guy cant (either your wearing a condom or your not and its easy to see). I have a friend that had a child with his girlfriend after she lied to him about having and IUD. She legally speaking raped him and had his child forcing him to be a parent against his will. Now if he leaves her she will get child support from him until their child is 18.
It is not reversal of symptoms. From Dr. House: paralytic doesn't reverse pain, it just makes screams go away.

ABA (masking) doesn't reverse autism. It just makes it less visible from outside (no matter the cost from within).
That's one hell of a startup idea if I ever heard one. Probably a million other homeowners would also agree to let waste sit on the land for cash.
I would suggest that you read this: https://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoe...

Errors can show up any time, and usually show up between the parts that checksums correct. On the wire, TCP protects you with a (weak) checksum. Off the wire, your computer and filesystem can still screw things up. Even CPU bugs can do this.
I know you were probably putting those numbers in as placeholders to illustrate the concept, but worth pointing out the advantage that (even a lot of) skill gives is nowhere close to 100x over weaker players.
That's obvious. The point is inequality is reduced.
I think the feeling is that Microsoft as the company that has to field the blame for any problems in Windows has more incentive structures in place internally to "never further tarnish the Windows brand". CrowdStrike doesn't care if people blame Windows (and partially benefited in some parts of this news cycle from people blaming Windows for being the messenger), but Microsoft has nothing but skin in that game, and even if the team was in a terribly remote part of the org structure from the Windows team would still be incentivized to avoid making Windows (any more) the bad brand even if for no other reason than "shareholder value" and the equity stakes in their total compensation. (But Microsoft will have other internal incentives in place, especially the closer the team gets to Windows.)
An internet connected kernel level driver, with a bricking update, that passed QA, that could also be rolled out via a non-staged method, at global scale, under 24hrs? That is unthinkable.
Coming on the heels of the 2023 Hugo Awards disaster (certain authors excluded for fear of offending China, see https://file770.com/the-2023-hugo-awards-a-report-on-censors...) it's hard to believe the supposed post-Chengdu reforms didn't take into account loopholes like this.

So things might vary from bidet/setup, but at least for my own experience with a Luxe Neo 320:

Aiming really isn't a problem. For one, the water doesn't just come on at full blast, the control allows you to bring it up from off. It takes a few days to figure out where you setup is aimed and know how to position yourself there, and from that point on it's basically not a concern. Other fancier ones might have aiming capabilities that don't require you to move, I haven't found it to be something I feel I need, YMMV. Beyond that, you're sitting over everything and they aren't generally aiming far forward, so even if you miss at full blast, it's just going to hit you somewhere else.

After a few years of this, the only mess outside the bowl that has ever occurred was when the dog turned it on with no one on the seat (so to that end, put the lid down).

As for aerosolizing, not sure that there's been any particular studies but just speaking from a use perspective, again you're sitting over things keeping a lid on it as it were. The stream isn't exactly a pressure wash level of power (or at least, you can tune the stream to not be if you had really high water pressure) and if you were to imagine the effect of spraying a hose into a loose canvas awning hanging above you, that's generally how things happen. Lots of water sheeting of more or less straight down with a bit going to the side and down. A little wiggling about (again, since the Neo doesn't have any functionality to aim the nozzle) and you clean up even around the sides just fine and I would venture little is aerosolized and what little has been is largely contained in the same way having your lid down contains from flushes.

Yes, you still want to use a few squares of TP to dry up at the end, but if you sit for a few seconds, you'll drip dry most of the way, and 3-5 squares to pat dry is considerably less than used otherwise.
So the only thing you need to know about entropy is that it's a real-valued number you can associate with a probability distribution? And that's it? I disagree. There are several numbers that can be associated with probability distribution, and entropy is an especially useful one, but to understand why entropy is useful, or why you'd use that function instead of a different one, you'd need to know a few more things than just what you've written here.
Steve Jobs didn’t just waltz into Xerox PARC and steal a glimpse at the Alto. That visit was heavily lawyered and PARC got Apple shares as compensation. To summarize this as “stealing” is just incorrect. Lazy work.
July 2024 Update on Instability Reports on Intel Core Processors
I may be misunderstanding, but don’t this involve an intermediary re-encoding when casting video from phone → dongle? If so that’s unavoidable quality loss which isn’t great and runs down phone battery unnecessarily. If it works for you though, that’s what’s important!

Aside from that, having a little extra power available can be nice for being able to smoothly play back video formats that the hardware doesn’t have acceleration for, obviating need for transcoding (via Plex or similar).
Here is how. Get at it.

Is there any numerical data to support some kind of industry political sentiment change, and/or what the prior state really was?

A thing I think a lot of people don't include in their premises about Crowdstrike is that they're probably the most significant aftermarket endpoint security product in the world (they are what Norton and McAfee were in 2000), which means they're more than large enough for malware to target their code directly, which creates interesting constraints for where their code can run.

I'm not saying I'd run it (I would not), just that I can see why they have a lot of kernel-resident code.
You can get something similar with shell globs, and ~not in zsh. e.g. *~*.c(.) to exclude all .c files (and only list files, not directories or anything else).

Looks a bit obscure at a glance due to lack of spaces, but it's not that different from -exclude or "| grep -v".
I was there three years ago. Most (possibly all) of what was running on bare metal was Windows/Hyper-V. Some Azure service backends ran on Linux VMs; AKS backend for instance was on Linux I believe. Most were Windows/C# though. I know there was some initiative to allow for Linux bare metal for some internal services, I think to allow for running k8s clusters without the extra hypervisor layer(?), but it was still WIP when I left.
I saw this recent video on a similar topic (prostate cancer and testerone/TRT considerations) [1], and bookmarked it for later. Not knowledgeable to speak further on it though.

The Uneven Distribution of AI's Environmental Impacts
Not even the articles from the webpage you've linked talks about "...big computers (servers) [...] with dumb terminals" nor that the concept of client/server is
> The core concept is that you only have 1 computer, the host. [...] On users' desks they have just terminals, which are not computers

Opposite of what you write the linked page starts with

"In a client-server system, a large number of personal computers communicate with shared servers on a local area network" and later explicitly lists
continues with references to Microsoft (N)OS.
And then the refecence from NOS leeds us to
"There are only a few popular choices – Novell, UNIX, Linux, and Windows. The complexity of NOS forces a simple overview of the features and benefits."

So I don't really understand what you point that Netware neither was a file-- nor a print-server.
I suppose that code is "trivial" in the same sense that anything else involving C++11 is "trivial."
How did the last years with Biden and Harris made the country worse? What about the CHIP act or the infrastructure bill and many other examples. Those things made the country worse?

How is Harris the same as Trump? Trump a convicted felon and rapist and god knows what he did on Epstein's Island. Trump said he will be a dictator for one day (hint: it won't be just a day) vs Harris a criminal prosecutor who understands the importance for upholding law & order.

How is Harris going to be bad for the country?

This is not about voting for Harris or whoever will be nominated. This is about voting against a wanna be dictator who wants to dismantle our democracy and constitution.

I would guess that to SF and Fantasy fans "Hugo Award winner" does serve as some indication of merit, beyond what is really entailed (some number of hard core SF/ fantasy fans liked at least one of their works).

Outside, for example buying for a friend or colleague, I imagine it sounds like a generic literary award and they'd expect it was judged excellent by some number of experts, as with say a Booker.

It's also a nice ego boost of course. If you like that kind of thing anyway. If you're Greg Egan or something it's probably dreadful.
This is such a frustrating misunderstanding of the history, and the history is fascinating. Xerox invited Apple to tour PARC in exchange for $1M worth of pre-IPO Apple stock, which today would be worth [checks notes] more than that. There was no theft.

Apple engineers got to see the Alto, not the Star (the screenshot in the article is wrong, the chronology is wrong). The visit was so fast that Apple engineers thought they saw realtime overlapping windows when they didn’t. [0] So it’s possible Xerox was inspired by Apple with the Star, not the other way around.

Meanwhile, Bill Gates totally outs himself as someone who would steal shamelessly.

How many future sales, speaking gigs, etc. does being a "Hugo-winning author" open up?
How much is lots? I would think for a single patient, you'd generally be requesting maybe a couple dozen kB unless there are images, but those should be loaded separately. Looking at the Crowdstrike thread from the other day on this site for example, it looks like 500 comments amounts to ~120 kB and loads in about as many ms (and that's with gzip. br or zstd should do better).
"Defendant and Plaintiff further agree that if asked about the terms and contents of this Agreement, they will respond only by stating that “the matter has been resolved” or “I cannot comment” without any further elaboration."

> taking them even if you don't need to isn't going to be harmful

I think, the transporter for calcium is the same used for some other minerals. So, if you're not mindful (about timing), you may be competitively blocking the absorption of e.g. zinc, which is much more precious nutritionally - zinc is very important for immune function and healing, while deficiency is common.

Calcium supplements can cause constipation, which may be not very fun after giving birth... Not to mention the implications of (lack of) quality control in the supplement market, by proxy, for a rapidly developing human being. Which substances are part of the formulation, other than calcium salts? Does the adult portion of copper or X accumulate in a mother's milk?

Not saying, you shouldn't take calcium supplements. But really, any supplement can be harmful, if consumed without need or consideration. (Fun fact: Vitamin A supplementation increases lung cancer risk!)

I can enumerate the long list of policy that treats youth as a resource to extract from vs supporting and enabling their success. Is that what you had in mind for this?
No, dating a lady does not obligate you to support her children from other men. What a ridiculous take. Accepting their presence and being good to them, sure, but those aren't the same as being made to support them. If I started dating a woman and quickly asked her to fork over money to support my aging parents or my own family responsibilities, it would be rightly viewed as an unfair and manipulative emotional/financial hijack of responsibility. The opposite doesn't hold true?
I was not at all advocating for Marx or that quote.

I'm just pointing out that it's largely a universal truth that if we want a functioning society with food and roads and electricity and houses and internet, a lot of people are going to have to do something they would rather not do.

The "greedy capitalist" is more about how the work is coordinated. We have a market-based system where work assignments are more or less voluntary where he who signs the checks sets the work. But I am not volunteering myself to going back to a manorial or subsistence agriculture society.
100%. Very few times are these systems built as robustly as external folks who earn a profit on building robustness. Best example of course being Stripe. But I see this from everything from visual snapshot testing tools to custom CI workflows. The good thing is you can always rely on competitive market dynamics to price the off the shelf solution down to a reasonable margin above maintenance costs.
FAA doesn't know how, just as they didn't know how to certify the first jetliner or the first light sport aircraft. This is how new regulations are made. In my experience, the FAA is pretty open minded and sometimes excited by novel concepts and will work with planemakers to figure out a certification plan.
