The work unit is completed wafers that later get binned into different device quality levels.
Makes sense when your biz is to blast plasma over mm2 of silicon
It sure can, but this doesn't go far enough.
The US Govt' can only choose to "print money". It cannot choose otherwise. This is because fractional reserve banking allows financial institutions to lend out the same $1 multiple times.
The result of collecting $1 and lending 6 people that $1 with an expected total payment of $2 per debtor results in $1 causing $13 in the economy.
The Revolt.chat SPA looks decent, if featureless, and will probably be fine as the project progresses. This has just launched its beta, after all.
>I guess you're saying that an encrypted email could travel through a provider that keeps a copy of it in the hopes that quantum computers will one day be cheaply available enough that they can crack
No, I'm saying when you send the email, the next MTA might not use encrypted transport and any mailbox/mail spool/cache might not store the data encrypted in any way.
You can of course get E2EE if you use GPG (you always could), but if somebody doesn't know how to use GPG or uses it wrong, that is problematic.
You can also just broadcast your gpg block message via public/ham radio or even hire a skywriter to spend his day tracing out your GPG cyphertext as a huge QR code in the sky :-)
Fractional reserve banking (and the modern electronic economic system) virtualizes currency in a way that would be called a dupe bug in any MMORPG. In our case, it is just a feature of the design.
Local and State governments in the US are dependent on tax dollars (property, sales, excise) in addition to federal subsidies, but the federal government doesn't need taxpayers to fund most of its activities.
Accruing balances of paper is fine, the fiat money is imaginary and propped up by usage convention and some other, stronger things.
I figured that vsauce is good at making videos he makes. They gave him a cable format & crew and it didn't really translate his appeal.
Someone like Veritasium or Wendover might be able to get very proficient in a documentary format, it sounds like they might have good ideas.
Email can't guarantee E2EE without a block cipher tool like GPG. Even if your provider stores and transmits only encrypted email data, once sent it does not maintain that guarantee while being passed by another entity's MTA.
If you email google, google gets to do whatever googly stuff it would like to do with its algorithm. If you email exchange, roundcube, ISP, hotmail, it could wind up being archived to tape, or simply be sitting for a long time in some unencrypted mail spool, maybe in a public cloud. If you selfhost, you would be forgiven if you find you have made a mistake or simply got pwned.
I've never selfhosted email, but I understand it is a lot of work to set up if you aren't familiar, and while maintenance is okay once you get rolling, there are occasional emergencies or hiccups that require intervention.
Aside from being much slower, regular mail is quite better since you can easily inspect the envelope for evidence of tampering, while email will be imperceptibly copied.
It's not reasonable to expect undersized components intended for lightest-duty in-town city driving to hold up very well beyond picking up the dry cleaning, groceries, or driving to a parking lot. If you use it only in that way, it's probably fine. When maintenance becomes required, it's also likely often not worth the money to do any serious overhauls to the lawnmower.
Does the wheel jerk, bump steer a ton at that speed?
If you happen to have noticed, how does it handle something like a steel plate (temporarily placed during road work) ?
I have just recently found out about the Subaru Sambar / Daihatsu HiMax microvans and have been very curious. Since I'm unlikely to find an opportunity to test drive a Sambar, I was imagining that these little citycars might be a bit unstable at higher speeds, wet conditions or travelling alongside semi-trailers on CONUS State roads and certainly the Interstate.
What is the delta if you account for the temperatures relating to any significant change in human consumption as opposed to this period which is the only one that coincides with fuel efficiency standards and increased environmental enforcement?
Selecting a very small time period that does not include the industrial revolution, large scale construction (New deal public works, highways) operations, world wars, nuclear energy, adoption of mechanized logistics & transportation, any time at all with unrestricted emissions, etc is nearly useless for analysis.
Why should the delta during 1979-2021 be representative of the overall climatology when the dataset appears to be barely large enough to even begin making any analysis?
I’ve seen people saying in these comments often that you have to use safari. I am using ff on my iOS device right now, what am I missing?
This will violate my IT device usage policy! Apple is not my IT department!! We have a ZERO TOLERANCE IT device usage policy. By not calling the local police department after one violation, we violate the policy. There is also a form which must be signed before HR (Girlfriend) so they can be present on the call to LE or else be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
I don't think it computes a hash of the image, it's a tad more involved than that.
Simple hashing is easily evaded. They must be computing an identifier from the contents of the images in the CSAM database. This requires computational analysis on the handset or computer. If that's all that were happening that would be no problem, but of course there are management interfaces to the classifer/analyzer, catalog, backend, &c
The contents of the identifiers are purposefully opaque to prevent spoofing of the identifier database. I don't know what is included in the images; what if I take a picture at Disneyland with a trafficked person in the frame? Will that make it into the qualifier database? What is added to the CSAM signature database and why? What is the pipeline of hashesfrom NCMEC and other child-safety organizations->Apple's CSAM image classifer alarm?
>I get it, the mechanism they're using has apparent flaws, and maybe some whacko could somehow get access to your phone and start uploading things that trick the algorithm into thinking you have CP.
The CSAM analyzer could be subverted in any number of ways. I question how the CSAM identifiers are monitored for QA (I actually shudder thinking there are already humans doing this :( how unpleasant.) and the potential for harmful adversaries to repurpose this tool for other means. One contrived counterfactual: Locating pictures of Jamal Kashoggi in people's computer systems by 0-day malware. Another: Locating images of Edward Snowden. A more easily conceived notion: Locating amber alert subjects in people's phones, geofenced or not.
To my eyes, it appears we will soon have increased analysis challenges. Self analysis of device activity and functions for image scanning malware (for example) is slightly harder, we have added a blessed one with unknown characteristics running on the systems. Does this pose a challenge to system profiling? How/does this interact with battery management? Is only iCloud scanning, or is everything scanned and then only checked before being sent to iCloud? (this appears to be the case[X])
There should be user notification too. If some sicko sends me something crazy somehow, I would surely want to know so I can call the cops!!
All in all this makes me feel bad. There is not a lot of silver lining from my perspective. While the epidemic of unconscionable child abuse continues, I question the effectiveness of this approach.
I would not consider jailbreaking my iPhone but for this kind of stuff. I would like to install network and permissions monitoring software on my iPhone such as Bouncer[0], Little Snitch[1], although these are helpfully not available for iOS.
I feel grateful that I am unlikely to be affected by this image scanning software, I'm planning to continue my personal policy of never storing any pictures of any people whatsoever. I don't even store family photos this way. My Life is not units in a data warehouse.

Ecolab oasis multiquat is what I buy, it’s like $80-100 but the dilution ratio means you are unlikely to run out.
The chemistry should be improved or changed if needed, however leaded (pb) fuel should never return. We are definitely better off.
Dorman (USA) makes a lot of these kits, you can often get all sorts of surprising parts from them, but they sell out their runs, too.
Thing about that kind of part is there aren't a lot of sales. There usually isn't millions of people out there ready to buy the weatherstripping, so the aftermarket often won't do a production run for it as it can be rather unprofitable.
Now and then a supplier will start making something crazy though, a few years ago I was looking for body sheet metal repair parts for a w123 300d--and found them! Uro production body sheet metal was available domestically for this 35year old jalopy.
Can't find the parts anymore I believe (I haven't tried) but there were so many of those w123 and w124 globally that people wanted to glue em' back together. Basically 100% of them have serious rust problems, seems to be mainly because of the way the sunroof is designed. I digress.
They usually serve to allow for automatic roll-away protection. On new Jeep Latitudes they come on automatically when the vehicle senses you have the vehicle running and are stopped, with the door open, or neutral. Owners like the hand holding ... it's a Jeep thing.
It does increase the price a little bit and if you do not have an OBDII scan tool and need to buy one. If you operate the EPB maintenance mode very incorrectly it is possible to damage the EPB mechanism. They're pretty easy to operate and replace if you know what you're doing.
VW (and others such as some Jeep) uses an electronic parking brake which requires a scan tool to command the ECU to enter maintenance mode in order to retract the electronic motor on the rear axle to allow the piston to retract.
You can do this at home if you have a scan too. If you do not have a scan tool it is still possible to do it manually by disconnecting and removing the EPB servo and manually retracting, but it tricky and not recommended.
They use triple square fasteners on the bracket, and are typically a pain in the ass for this make.
Is there something else I'm missing?
The point is that memory safety bugs are the gift that keeps on giving.
You can throw as much money into the problem as you want, and the inherent complexity of memory management means you are still gonna ship bugs of all severity.
It's also hard to get elected without people voting for you, or funding for political campaigns.
its a natural disaster or global catastrophe and its happened before.
we have also had the mrna technology for over a decade.
if we put the coronavirus effort into aging or global warming, we would not have solutions in 1year. masks and hygeine dont work for aging.
it is a totally different problem space and not comparable in the least.
Kaiser Wilhelm II took power after Bismark, and abdicated at the end of the first war. Wilhelm died in 1941.
Bismarck unified Germany in the latter 1800's as a constitutional federation with suffrage and elected legislatures, I don't know the fine details except it was some form of confederation and is considered a constitutional monarchy with elected legislature.
Typically the state legislatures dictate what is in the curriculum broadly, sometimes extra specifically, and the administrators and teachers create their lessons to satisfy the legislation.
How does the teacher's union suppress subject matters in the history department?
Only less than 60,000[0] people die per year from influenza, a family of viruses that is well understood, vaccines somewhat effective and available, and almost everybody has some immunological response against due to previous exposure. Tens of millions are affected by influenza yearly, it stops their work for weeks, causes their family to stop their work and care for them, causes errors and economic cost, social cost, etc. People hate influenza and it does result in critical hospitalizations and death among people all over the place. Mostly old people die from that too, but it ruins everybody's productivity.
A novel virus that is at best like influenza, with an additional asymptomatic cadre, affecting the entire country or world, with a completely naive immune response? You should read Guns, Germs, and Steel[1]
We are clearly capable of acting against and preventing Sars-CoV-2 infection, we are as yet unable to cure aging. How preposterous.
Seems unlikely.
Females generally decline in their ability to create children, males less so, but it is for sure a thing.
People might crank them out like crazy, as we currently do, and the people who don't die in war, accident, disease, or whatever else will just be out there. Hopefully they will also be out there bestowing their considerable wisdom upon their clan and humankind as a whole. One can dream.
>doctors [might not] if that person is of a certain age - because of the impact on the planet.
I don't think so. In this grisly, sort of insane scenario (we have plenty of those, thank you) it usually operates from the other chronological direction.
I was considering if people might wait longer if they had more time to live, but people really like to bang I've noticed. Seems quite unlikely for young adults to pass up. Nonetheless, I don't think it will cause an insane explosion beyond the geometric growth that this thing could do anyhow. However, consider the decline in birth rates of western countries, japan, and now china[0], the numbers simply don't substantiate this hypothesis. I don't know how the math works out wrt population growth, or why this is happening to advanced nations, but it seems like there is the possibility of numbers to plateau for some murky reason.
Plus, the best doctors are most likely gonna be old as hell or under the guidance of one who is. They might be able to see the utility.
FWIW, I think it is a reasonable, if malinformed, question.
