One of the dirty secrets of the mobile industry, particularly before Apple showed up and spoiled all the fun, was how many execs and chunks of the ethos were airlifted out of Ma Bell. The kind of moat-building we're seeing take over the internet over the last couple decades is something that mobile carriers already had in heaps.

It was also common for carriers to extort very high fees from anyone selling apps on their platforms. People bitch and moan about Apple taking 30% (which is more like 15% now) but I saw mobile app execs complaining about only grossing 30% after the carrier fees, and so you could only either make blockbusters and pay for R&D on volume, or set your VC money on fire to fatten up the carriers and get nothing, except more powerful carriers, for your efforts.

I'm not at all surprised to hear that RIM was only slightly less evil.
The "license to rent a game" deal is a general grievance about Steam that is not related to the article.

Also it is one that can be extended to many other services offering digital goods for """purchase""", like iTunes

It's certainly widespread for movie remakes. Old classics usually cost money, or a specialty streaming service. New remakes of the same classics are usually on prime or netflix.
lmao "skin in the game". what a useless cliche.

that's such a lame excuse, and if for some stupid reason, i chose the rtos first, i would simply choose one of the many competitors that have positive mindshare and increasing install base. freertos, rt linux, hell even vxworks.

the simple fact is that rtos are more commodity than ever. if im going to start a project, im going to do it based on the requirements, find a soc and bsp that has excellent support for those requirements, and then follow up writing a task for whatever rtos it uses.

for example, im not using freertos because its "cute" and has a neat little floppy disk demo. im currently using amazon's freertos beceause that's what the espxx family supports. im using the esp32 because it has the power profile i need for my sensor project.

in today's market, it's absolutely asinine to choose the rtos first. i honestly have no idea what qnx is a first class citizen on anymore. I actually feel bad for anyone who's spent their whole career in QNX-land - that train might be coming to a stop and there's probably a lot of people who would rather not retrain.

actually, there's a nugget of wisdom in there for the qnx team: i should be able to buy a $20 board that runs qnx, and fits into the power, performance, and hardware profile of something like the esp32. integrate it heavily with platform.io. let me use qnx without having to specifically go and seek it out and hack on it a bunch.
Golang is great but depending on the job market in a given country, might be a little bit esoteric.

If you were aiming for one of the more popular options that still scale pretty well, you might pair either PosgreSQL/MariaDB/MySQL with one of the JVM languages (e.g. Java) or one of the CLR languages (e.g. C#). Both runtimes and their languages are okay and have pretty big ecosystems.

Then again, Node or even PHP might be enough for most apps, maybe even Python or Ruby with a bit of vertical (and simple horizontal) scaling down the line.

Just be prepared for that monolith to grow into an eldritch nightmare of dependencies somewhere between 5 to 15 years later. Currently working on such a Java system, it makes the laptop thermal throttle regularly.

possibly counter to intuition, I find that since I have started to religiously use my stationary bike in the morning, I have a lot more energy for the day, not less. I suppose if you're butting up against caloric/nutrient limits you might suffer. I personally find exercise clarifies my thoughts and improves my mood, even if its the last thing I want to do when I do it.

There is now, there's a system where you use a webcam to do a live facial-recognition check to verify your identity - with a for profit business (because that's what Tories do, make ordinary parts of government into a way to pay out private profits).

That only confirms the person sitting at the computer is the person in the uploaded photo though.

When you first get a passport you have to have your identity confirmed by a professional person with community standing, teacher, policeman, doctor, someone like that.

They do background checks, it seems quite rigorous.

Once you have a passport/driving license they allow you to reuse a recently verified picture in your application to get the other document.

A lot of you who are supporting this are unaware that to enforce this, EVERYONE will have to have an online government ID and the government will be tracking EVERYONE's internet activity.
Except those two don't really matter when predicting heart attack or stroke risk. HRV results, EKG results, labile hypertension; these are the indicators of whether or not you're at a risk for a heart attack or stroke. Getting a regular stress test is more important than blindly throwing anti-hypertensives at someone who may not need them in the first place.

My smart ring detects if there are potential arrhythmia, same with the Apple Watch. Wearables are far more effective at determining heart attack risk than measuring blood pressure which fluctuates in correspondence with your circadian rhythm.
Why AI is so expensive
Indeed, we’re in agreement. Though I’d suggest a fixed disclosure timeframe at time of reporting. Maybe with an option to extend in cases where the fix is more complex than anticipated.
There was no accusation. He just said he wouldn't be surprised. He even went out of his way to say he didn't want to speculate
In this example, the "encrypted data" is xored with the key 4 bytes at a time. The first 4 bytes in the data are the same as the key. For the next 4 and you get the constant I posted above. Plug into Google, find where it is often found, decide rest of table, see it matches.

I've learned programmers either invent their own hashes, random number generators, and crypto, in which case I usually break them, or they reuse existing algos, in which any code constants are searchable.

Plus I've written and reversed enough of all that I recognized the loop as a CRC polynomial remainder loop.

All Crc-n algos are trivially crackable/reversible/collideable. They're a remainder on division of polynomials (learn the math on how they work), so use the polynomial equivalent of extended euclidean algo and you get one answer. Now all sufficient multiples of that mod class give all possible answers, one at a time.

That should give you plenty to chase through

It's also common for wealthy companies to have KNR (kidnap and ransom) insurance policies for their key people. It's not unlike why some companies have policies where the key people are not allowed to travel together so an incident doesn't take them all out at once.

Just another example of where crypto thinking they are hip/trendy for breaking the norms. Some lessons of bucking the traditional methods are gonna hurt more than others.
To me it sounds like it's fixed?
If you're not worried about showing off little hints of your own codebase, record running it on one of your day to day engineering tasks. It's perfect dog fooding and would be a fun meta example.

Better yet, stream it on Twitch and/or YouTube and/or Discord and build a small community of followers.

They tried to hire me a few times. I would not do it. They have some very intelligent people including several kernel developers which is not surprising given all the projects they work on. The reason I would never work there is the dystopian vibe I got walking around their campus. The younger people could not understand what I meant, all they saw was free food and an extension to their college life. I saw a corporation that tried every way it could to incentivize staying, living and breathing work. It felt almost like a cult. The older crowd and a handful of the younger crowd would acknowledge with a head nod but did not want to talk about it. I do not blame anyone for working there. People need to feed themselves and start somewhere. It probably looks good on a CV and would have good name recognition.

So I guess that does not really answer your question about ethics. I do not have ethical issues with what I perceive to be a dystopian cult of sorts. It's just not for me. Now if you asked me if I would have participated in their profiling and manipulation of people such as the Cambridge Analytica [1] scandal, that would be both ethics and legal issues for me given it was voter manipulation. But otherwise I have worked for companies that have direct ties to many 3 letter agencies and have no issues with that.

Under $100: A carbon steel wok, along with a Youtube subscription to Chinese Cooking Demystified and to Souped-up Recipes. I always liked cooking, but this has increased my enjoyment 100x. My kids love stir fry, and they eat a lot more veggies this way.

Under $1000: A Kino hand grinder and a Cafelat Robot manual espresso maker. Bought this at the start of lockdowns as a gimmick, but I'm actually using this several times a day. Found an excellent roaster locally, but even store-bought beans taste pretty good this way.
Great thread on what it takes to do crypto in Russia :

"In contrast, Russian cryptobros that I know tend to act very, very lowkey. The fewer people know about your activities, the better. Posting about dealing with crypto in social media is absolutely unthinkable. Why? Because that makes you too easy and lucrative prey"

Well good luck with that, considering trans and intersex folks have been around... well, as long as everyone else has!

Hollywood plotline: Owner stages a failed kidnapping to dissuade people from trying a read kidnapping.
Right, I'm not disputing that. What I'm questioning is whether people understand why that happened, or how to actually fix it. Because they should care how, and it won't get fixed unless we have actual solutions.
why didn't they just open it for all with a proper license? as soon as you're move toward a commercial product with qnx you're immediately own them money. and no money with linux. who will us qnx on these terms?
I could not care less what a comedian calls Trump, John Oliver isn't in a position of trust and power, leading the nation, supposedly our best and brightest.
Yep. I worked in the space for 3 years and basically became a conspiracy theorist in some sense because of how messed up it is.

It looks as though only scam coins are allowed to succeed in the space and well-intentioned people are forced to become scammers or else they'll become a target of the SEC or some other gov entity. I've had some REALLY f*ed up interactions with major figures which are almost impossible to explain otherwise. Also in terms of funding, you will see government entities funding projects that are obvious scams over and over. These are not government entities from 'banana republics' BTW, these are western governments. It's not just the founders themselves who are corrupt, it's literally the government apparatus around it.

When you have various government entities actively supporting fraud, it creates an environment which is worse than lawlessness. Being an honest person in the space is untenable; you just wouldn't last.

And interestingly the word "bleach" does not show up in the quote.

And when he says "disinfectant" he means that literally as some kind of disinfecting medication. The next sentence mentioning "medical doctors" should have clued you into that.

So, now that you know that, what's wrong with what he said? (Oh, I'm well aware that the media rapidly decided disinfectant meant bleach, and then went on a rampage about that, but that's not what he said, and also not what he meant.)

Which is kind of the point isn't it? You are accusing Trump supporters of lack of knowledge but the shoe is actually on the other foot. The entire outrage was literally an invention of his opponents.

Which is also why Republicans laugh at liberals who complain about this stuff, because unlike the liberals, they heard what he actually said, and not some fictional version.
My mistake - I reread your post, and I understand you to be saying that a nuclear plant generates a 10^6 (USA million) times as much long-lived radioactive waste as a coal plant for each unit of energy.

As everyone acknowledges, coal plants don't contain their waste, and fly ash has bad chemical, medical, and ecological properties aside from its radioactivity. Everyone fears nuclear waste and requires it to be contained in nearly impervious vessels with century long management plans. Those same people happily let the coal plants just pump their wastes into the air and discharge captured fly ash into ponds and piles on the ground.

Coal also produces many times more fly ash by volume and mass than nuclear plants produce high-level long-lived wastes.

Luckily even fossil-fuel power generation is moving away from coal in favor of natural gas plants right now, which are cheaper and cleaner (still CO₂ though).

More about fly ash as an underappreciated pollutant:

The mind-body connection is quite real. Improving your physical state will almost certainly have a non-zero improvement on your mental state.

I think you have to distinguish here between your intuition, and the currently reigning common sense, which you just take for granted and which is not based on your own intuition.

Sure, and that's fair, but to me the "cheating" is more about how it is limited to only certain types of computing. On a Mac, or indeed any non-Apple OS since Windows 3.1, you've been able to for instance, start a long-running, resource-intensive process like encoding a video, minimize that window, and open say, Minesweeper or read a text file for an hour, all knowing that the OS wouldn't dare interfere with your background task. In iOS you can be assured that the moment you background an app, iOS can and will send something to kill it at any minute, and there's not even a way to explicitly allow a certain app to be immune from being killed, even on a one-time basis.

All of this is totally by design (and thinking only of phone handsets I'm sure some people would defend this), but it is maybe the #1 thing that prevents this otherwise capable hardware from being used for more things. (Not to mention how much it hamstrings iPad OS).
Which brand welder did you go for?
In a rhyme with the uncertainty principle, you can either have your watch but have only a poor idea of what it even looks like, or momentarily observe the real shape that it once had.
Roads will always get beat up. Roads always need maintenance. The question is who will pay for it and how will it be funded.

Another truth is that shipping and transportation are two major CO2 emitters. Climate change is real, and CO2 emissions are the primary driver of it.

So, with that in mind, we have an already existing carbon tax both federally and in most states which directly correlates to CO2 emissions. And, conveniently, it is also directly linked to common needed infrastructure damaged the most by vehicles that use the most fuel. It's the fuel tax.

Now, we could talk policy to handle people tired of spending money on transportation fuel. Perhaps we have a fuel tax break for people earning less than 100k. Perhaps we subsize the purchase of more fuel-efficient vehicles. Perhaps we incentivize the production of small trucks, and we outlaw oversized pickup trucks and SUVs for personal use. All solvable problems that could be tackled with separate policy.
You're correct, destructuring is the appropriate term.

I checked the release notes, and the reason they removed it: no one was using it. I guess it's unsurprising, but sad.
A kid I knew in high school was knocked off his bike by an ambulance. He'd have come out of the incident better if the ambulance hadn't backed up to see what happened, for it backed over his legs. The city settled with him for what sounded like a lot of money in 1971, but not so much ten years later.
My gut feeling is that you didn't even read the piece. Read first then get back at me.
Between Microsoft on one hand and all the other browser companies (Opera, Brave etc) on the other, I wouldn't be so sure.

Following Google's lead is massively cheaper than having a custom fork or engine, but it's not impossible. If Google does something wild and unpalatable to all these companies, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Linux Foundation version of Chromium, with custom skins on top.

That could even get Mozilla to jump on the bandwagon, especially if they lose 9x percent of their revenue due to Google's antitrust remedies, which is not that unlikely.
I would. Unfavored is single-axis. He is more moderate and more likeable, which does not show up on your graph.
I wrote a custom `applyPatch` function that tries to use the line numbers, but falls back to searching for the context lines to line up the +/- patched lines.

It actually got line number not too wrong, and so they might have been helpful. (I included the line numbers for the original file in context).

Ultimately though, this approach was still error prone enough that we recently switched away.

It's about ransom, not about keys. Fortune 500 company CEOs and such have a special insurance for the cases like this. There is an old movie Proof of Life about the topic.

You want to make the civil court system responsible for litigating the truth or falsehood of every comment, post and claim made on the internet?

Why not just make a separate court system instead of tying up the existing one? We couldn't call it the Ministry of Truth because it's the US, but maybe Bureau of Truth?
