Right, but unlike a passkey, my password doesn't discriminate based on the device I use.

If my phone explodes like a Samsung surprise, and my laptop turns into a spicy pillow;

I can in the worst case scenario, still log in via the local library PC.

I could borrow a device from a friend, or buy a second hand Thinkpad and use that.

That is to my knowledge, not possible with a passkey device.

It absolutely is a Valid question. At the end of the day, the problem with passkeys Is that they are explicitly negatives for common people.

Have a broken phone camera? Cannot scan qr codes.

Lost the phone? Cannot log into vital modern day accounts like email.

Your house burned down, and the passkey device with it? Say goodbye to literally everything.

Homeless (temporary or otherwise) persons, random local government sweep just trashes everything you own. Bye bye to the passkey again.

There was a picture showing a antenna bent at a roughly 30 degree angle, ontop of the launch tower. Not sure if that was the cause though.

As a person working in Japan's programing industry, specifically with integrating machine tooling with a web UI;

A lot of this sounds accurate. Though, I am not sure if any keiretsu had an influence on my current employer.

It's the same logic as writing a sentence like this:

Y U gna be late

It's grammatically completely incorrect. But you can still understand it.

When it comes to chinese/japanese characters, many have the same phonetic reading. So you can do something similar, while selecting the wrong characters.

> Not yet, according to the devs the plan is to disclose to openwall on september 30 and afterwards the full disclosure will happen on october 6

So I understand this means we will need to wait till October 6 for more details. Would it be safe to assume anything being talked about right now is speculation?

Japanese but not a lawyer.

No clue.

Need to wait for them to declare what the patents are.

Some of the patents being shown in this thread went into effect after Palworld was revealed (not launched) so there is a lot of unknowns.

They already did in 2023.

Excel did not have an option for turning automatic conversions off.

You can now, FINALLY disable automatic conversion. Honestly that "feature" has been a bane of my existence, and I don't work with genes.

I was specifically taught that good, readable code could explain itself; that it would make comments redundant.

Therefore, comments should only be used for things like psuedocode, or as help for fellow developers during dev.

Then, they should be removed once the code is done.

But yea, not a good idea.

A defect like that would make it illegal to sell in my country. One big splash on a major network and they will probably go scrambling.

Have you contacted anyone other than the manufacturer?

I was taught to not leave comments in finished code.

I have regretted following that lesson ever since.

Internet banking is so ridiculously insecure, I always go do it myself in person.

Although, I rarely have to do anything with the bank that would require any online or offline process beyond using an ATM.

So no, that wouldn't really be a reason for me to stop using Firefox.

On one hand, I do want more countries taking social media to court.

However, in this specific case, it's been pretty clear that the Brazilian court orders send to X/Twitter. Specifically, some that order the censoring of specific individuals are illegal. (Some of these orders appear to violate other Brazilian laws)

This is a hard one to really judge. Just a mess overall.

No, the pilot can depressurize the aircraft at high altitude.

In such a case, the emergency oxygen masks for passengers will drop, but those are only rated for 15 to 30 minutes.

After that Oxygen runs out, assuming the pilot maintains cruise altitude above 25000ft, everyone onboard will lose conscious via hypoxia within 1 minute, and be brain dead within 15 minutes.

No one (except the pilot) would be alive to see the plane crash.

Pilot can also re-pressurize the aircraft after 30 minutes, and breathe fine. Pilot oxygen masks are meant to last for at least an hour.

Unfortunately, the conventional US Navy has an incredibly bad history when it comes to post mortem investigations.

They have very consistently used scapegoats to hide systematic issues, or problems caused by people higher up the chain.

Someone needs to polish their brass before that happens.

Not to forget, the same problem has happened before with aircraft pilots.

Someone doesn't notice that the the wrong engines are running, or someone forgot to power down one of the engines.

Or there was an engine failure. And in the confusion, someone powers down the wrong engines.

Usually in these cases, fatigue or information overload is a major factor.

The pilots were fully qualified. They were simply overworked, and too tired to realize their mistake.

I wouldn't assign all the blame to lack of training. The navy is very famously overworked and understaffed, and not just in the USA.

I think we will see something similar to the last boom with Neural Net chatbots back in 2014(?).

Public discource will simmer down, as current language models either fizzle out or improve. Some will become background noise as the models gets integrated into search engines or leads to large scale lawsuits.

Unlike the previous neural nets though, those models have an actual tangible use. So you will see them around a lot more.

Then I think we will see another big explosion.

Very likely they use a manufacturing execution system like Dassault's DELMIA or Siemens MES.

These systems are intended to allow local control of a factory, or cloud based global control of manufacturing.

They can connect to individual PLC(Programmable Logic Controller) which handles the actual equipment.

They connect to a LAN network, or to the internet. So they naturally need some form of security.

They could use Windows Server, Redhat Linux, etc. but they need some form of security. Which is how controller would be affected.

Usually you can just set them to manual though...

Last I checked, 90% of Line users were in Japan, and Facebook messenger was most popular in SEA.

So I am simply surprised. My knowledge must be incredibly out of date.

I did not know that.

Would that indiciate that Korean software companies are only able to penetrate one economy at a time?

That would be a very weird, but interesting thing to investigate.

Line failed in the Korean market, and only penetrated Japan if I remember correctly.

And it is also partially owned by Softbank.

They don't have international competition.

The Korean government explicitly chooses companies for these things. And those companies, Chaebols like Samsung, choose the laws.

If these Korean apps were so good, you would expect them to penetrate foreign markets. But they don't.

Just like how British car companies collapsed when foreign competition entered the market on equal footing, these companies will disintegrate if forced to compete.

This is honestly why I advocate for pirating software. I purchased it once. So long as I don't make copies and send it to people I should be allowed to use it no matter what.

If the distributor no longer provides the software, or does not allow activation, I should be allowed to use any and all means to make it usable.

Any software that is no longer sold, should be free for anyone to get, by any means, regardless of prior legality.

Reminds me of an issue I had recently with Milkshape 3D. I needed to re-acquire some old 3D models out of an old game. But their service does not appear to work anymore.

Using speech to start a harassment campaign against people is not protected.

Yes, unironically.

In the USA you have the SLS, which can only be described as a congressionally designed failure.

Past experiments by NASA for self landing rockets had their funding denied as well.

In the EU there was the Arianespace CEO who explicitly said that self landing rockets were a waste of time.

In Japan, space experimentation and failures are such a public nightmare we would never have bothered.

The idea of losing dozens of rockets in order to aim for reusability would have been untenable.

Starship would not exist. Because the idea of a rocket with that many engines on the booster was also believed to be impractical.

Elon is egomaniacal sure, but that's only magnified by his status as a CEO. His behavior, unfortunately pretty close to the average person.

Doesn't change the fact that SpaceX under his leadership is the only reason we have reusable rockets, or the ridiculously ambitious Starship launches.

No one could have predicted the current incredible cadence of launches by SpaceX either.

Maybe my wording is wrong.

Based on the description in the article, I assumed it was a form of "advanced placement" of students with better scores. It includes elementary school, middle school, etc so I wasn't entirely sure what to call it. My school did have AP courses in MiddleSchool though.

I just fundamentally don't understand why advanced placement classes need to be axed due to racial issues.

Why is this so hard? Just keep the accelerated education program. Then try to help the disadvantaged groups get better testing scores via assistance programs. The issue here is obviously the name of the program. Just change that!

Yea no. They are using 12 year olds in incredibly dangerous manufacturing sectors. Since they don't want to pay higher wages in a competitive labor market, they instead start illegally using under-age labor, and throwing lobbying money at lawmakers so they can move on to legally hire underage kids.

They don't get to go to school. They get to work 9 hour shifts instead. We all know why these laws need to exist, and attempting to role them back is the result of pure greed.

We really don't. The majority of desert is not sand. Only around 20% is sand, and around 3% consist of sand dunes. Transportation in deserts is complex due to the rocky terrain that usually fills the rest of the desert.

It is economically cheaper and easier to take beach and river sand. (Especially since some countries designate sand dunes as protected areas)
