I'd say no if you were to treat your data with the same requirements as accountancy systems, like double entry bookkeeping accountancy systems.

So accountancy systems and thus your app would let you make changes to data that forces the reason for change to be documented, but either way its documented using the app, so that when looking back, just like accountants and auditors know why a change has occurred when doing year end or quarterly reports, you can also do the same. It also helps you highlight devs not cutting the mustard and it also highlights any potential fraud occurring inside the business with staff gaming the system.

I'd never allow any direct change to the db, but then my apps would also be encrypting data making it near impossible to perform changes to a db, other than messing around with the unencrypted data in index fields, which forces hackers to acquire the app and reverse engineer it, and then they have to understand the obfuscation built into the apps besides the obfuscation built into the db, but this approach makes rebuilding corrupted db indexes easier should they ever occur.

I know some people prefer having all the logic in the backend, but its about balancing the logic between the backend and the front end, ie spreading risk to make hackers jobs harder.

> This also seems like it could bring compliance issues.

This approach (making and documenting changes from within the app(s)) would meet all compliance and ISO standards.

Not Assembler but someone has documented their todo app on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi-5_eid7VA&ab_channel=Joshu...

The youtube comments are interesting, and I'd say, see how far you get trying to build an app with it meeting all the requirements, thats the real proof in the pudding.

And here is the thing, the NSA as part of the 5eyes+X (5EX) group are actively demonstrating their own hacking activities on their own companies and allies companies, but can only admit to giving out a vague warning.

The state wants tech security to be a Schrödinger's cat, where its secure against enemies but insecure to them.

Now I know enough about physics that it aint gonna happen!

And its because of Schrödinger's Cyber Cat, that demonstrates the criminality in law enforcement and the judiciary.

Now even the military, who are traditionally secretive and dont declare when they have been hacked, for fear of losing the public's confidence are in a dilemma.

Do they start admitting when they have been hacked, or do they continue to keep it quiet because currently they can and try to isolate disclosures, knowing that as tech advances, the game of whack a mole ends up spilling over into territory they dont control, or the public lose confidence with design flaws of equipment?

> Some guests received security clearances for the day

Another example of the surveillance on the population across multiple countries, which further reinforces my point, that employees of the state do target their own citizens and some of those will be primary school age kids in a premptive manner.

> Ukrop is a Russian slur for Ukrainians

Fuelling the nationalism for the easily tricked?

>Satellite connections could start blinking off again at any time. Critical systems can’t fully count on them

Aka Preppers and travellers maybe forced home, but at least they recognise they cant just call out an engineer to fix a satellite that's dead in space.

>Valued at $469 billion in 2021, the industry has continued growing steadily.

That's a significant chunk of GDP to lose if they cant keep those dishes spinning in space, whilst also providing target practice for hackers before moving onto the big fish, namely military satellites!

Would that include cars and other devices which need insurance, to reduce the risk of harm?

Likewise whilst you could drive into a group of people and harm them, I guess you are unable to quantify the harm of your words or other people's words when communicating using devices.

You see many vulnerable people getting exploited into a variety of activities like religious terrorism, inceldom or working for the state. All of these claim to be for higher purposes, but the harm it causes is not always recognised.

Maybe if Apple and others explained what can and cant be done with their products it wouldn't be so much a case of Buyer Beware.

You cant, in fact an entire industry exists namely infosec to mislead you into this line of thinking, in much the same way the diet and weightloss industry exists to make you think its possible to stay slim and sexy for the rest of your life!

So you think the state gives the population a good education, especially in law then?

There is a saying which backs up my position, "no knowledge of the law is no defense of the law". Its a UK cultural saying, the sort of things intellectual criminals would come up with.

When considering politicians, education and law enforcement are all agents of the state, it reinforces my position solidly, except for the criminals of the state who play dumb because their jobs would be on the line!

But Honeypots can also also be viewed as forms of entrapment, and this can bring much of the internet when viewed as a honeypot into the context of entrapment and in some country's entrapment is illegal, ergo has the state prosecuted some people whilst ignoring the entrapment element?

Yes that jump in intellectual prowess shows an intelligence can adapt in order to game the system that awards the grades.

Its a bit like looking for the ultra heavy suitcases at an airport check in because its loaded with kilos of cocaine and thus weighs considerably more than your average travellers clothes. Meta data comes in all shapes and sizes!

> they're aware that GPT can invent convincing sounding sources, so they're doing a lot more work verifying sources.

So are teaching staff demanding pay rises to cope with the extra work load, because ChatGPT can work with the latest global scientific discoveries faster than the ideas can filter out to the educational systems, their curriculum and textbooks?

It will be interesting to see if anyone gets marked down for using the latest knowledge and opinion because the teachers and examiners are out of date.

If its not obvious, AI could take on, the entire scientific community, something the legal system will have to deal with, because currently the judiciary can pick and choose their scientific "committee" of experts and rig court cases however they like.

But it looks like the educational system is having its Watergate moment.

Nanomaterials in cosmetics, although the use of nano tubes to deliver medicine is like a basic step towards making food in the same sense as lab grown meat could deliver custom ratios of amino acids and other chemicals which wouldnt be found in the normal animal.

Perhaps these nanomaterials are bypassing the usual digestive methods in order to enter the body and this creates a new attack vector for the body to deal with, knowing its not evolved to deal with these new forms of chemicals.

Is this like an asbestos is to lungs situation in the making? Time will tell.

But you do already see instances like this, like window machines distributing updates to other local window machines. A great way for MS to offload its bandwidth costs onto users, whilst saving itself a packet or two.

So maybe the market has recognised the virtues of distributed systems, but they are not how you envisage them to be?

Looks like we'll be seeing just how underground crypto currency is with the Chinese Rich. Anyone spotting any patterns to confirm in the blockchains?

You cant protect mental privacy because you body gives this data out consciously and subconsciously.

Self determination over our brains and mental experiences is like saying social media and search engines cant show you what you dont want to see, its a catch 22 situation. The same thing happens in life, like the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing found out as they didnt want to be bombed and have to experience that either.

At best, I think the state could teach people coping mechanisms in order to help rationalise and understand why these things happen, which to a greater extent is how life and society is supposed to work anyway, if you have good people around you, but then we'd be putting an entire psychotherapist industry out of business.

If you dont have good people around you though, then society and the state including the legal system has already consigned you to the history books of failures sometimes even before you have reached adulthood and there are some who like to profit from failure and fear, quite literary and literally.

One thing is for certain, humanity's abilities to witness atrocities en-masse has never been so great, which ironically fuels that dopamine assisted morbid curiosity. If you cant handle the raw edge of reality hawked by media news outlets, sleep safer at night knowing a Hollywood horror is just make up and special effects.

When viewing journalists, do we view them as them as the narcissistic end of the Karma spreading spectrum, able to inject themselves with an air of authority into people's living rooms at 6pm and 10pm Mon-Fri, because the editorship still haven't moved out their Black Mirror current affairs desensitized mentality?

Is it time to switch off from this daily world of shock horror, where your imagination is deliberately exploited to fill in the blanks because you cant witness the exact graphic detail due to censorship, thus exploiting your mental privacy with your public and private conduct?

If it is, then may I suggest https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies

I always thought the "Whitey" was due to the liver releasing a shed load of Glutathione into circulation. Some people with non Caucasian skin have been known to consume Glutathione to whiten their skin, but its frowned upon probably because it will give people the personality of a vampire or body snatcher.

Anyway if anyone wants to rejuvenate themselves so they can experience their very first Whitey again, especially if one is a connoisseur of bongs in their their nursing home or Florida retirement park, Glutathione is available online as a supplement, your body might just thank you by giving you a few more years.

What does a receipt prove? That you have a document for one withdrawal, and most people could be forgiven for assuming a withdrawal is a single transaction.

The ATM operator could see if subsequent transactions took place, but Chase probably cant, unless it forcibly introduces a time limit of 5 to 10 mins on each withdrawal from the same machine. In part this is a data sharing contract with ATM operators.

This is where mobile phones in particular SS7 can be used to place your mobile phone and apple watch next to the ATM in order to prevent fraud, but then also highlights who is data sharing with who, especially if your phone doesnt log the cell tower traffic management pinball wizard in order to triangulate the phone's location.

So by using the term "overall unemployment", the argument is framed in such a way the argument cant really be won. Why even bother debating?

However in the UK look at the Victorian seaside resorts, these have never recovered from their Victorian popularity because the airplane makes it quicker and easier to jet to better place's like Majorca or Ibiza.

Any politician attempting to suggest otherwise with schemes, is just deluded, wasting tax payers money, unless the country has its own Brexit & Covid in which to force people to holiday at home ...

Of course some seaside towns might become a hub for oil or windfarms[1], but that doesnt really help those already in a downhill trajectory living there, through lack of employment or age.

Look at the mining towns, the electricity grid and gas pipelines have put those miners out of business, and there are always going to be some who never recover because they are too old to retrain or dont have finances to escape to places with better pay and job opportunities.

I think people are poor at recognising the disruptive technology that can put them out of work, or lower their income.

The internet lowered the wages of programmers and call centre staff as work could be offshored more cheaply using the internet.

Banking and investing, gambling on spotting the trends which will become profitable over different timelines can be done anywhere in the world where fast communications exist provided you are not High Frequency Trading [1] where you then need your computers to be as close to the exchange as possible in order to manipulate markets.

Disruptive technology will always displace people, just look at the Middle East, places like Dubai, they have the already more favourable climate, so they can take modern building practices and turn a load of sand dunes into something quite spectacular.

You cant do that in places like the UK or Canada, where the weather is brutal and the winters are long, because everybody needs sunshine, and these man made inventions like heating and light just don't cut it for humans. They are stops gaps to help you survive the length of the a winter today if you dont have the finance to have a second home in the Maldives or Morroco, but if the planets orbit were to change, lengthening the winter, you would see things change more, a greater concentration of people moving back to the equator.

So AI will change jobs, getting rid of some and creating others, like the lab technician, tasked with the boring mundane error prone job of cell counting for blood tests, or spotting cancer cells in tissue biopsies, will be automated by AI. And AI will perform new jobs as routine, like spotting and counting bacterial biofilms in all tissue samples, when previously this was not routine, those jobs counting cells and biofilms will morph into management of AI roles, in much the same way a typical manager manages people.

Just like we see with programming languages coming and going, there are diverging and converging trends to be seen everywhere which will guide the future.

The takeaway is, recognise when something has peaked and find the next thing to peak on a timescale that works for you.

This is what investments is all about.

This bit is interesting though:

"So customers tap their card instead -- and here's the trick. When you tap, the account remains open for more transactions, unless the customer proactively logs out."

How can a customer log out in these circumstances?

I wonder if this is a US thing, because contactless payments are different around the world, in Japan they have have higher limits, but are still limited, where as in the UK its lower limits than Japan.

It indicates a number of things, the trust and oversight within the financial system, but also a reflection of the society in general.

I think you can say that because people are not routinely monitoring their surroundings for ionizing radiation.

If this were to change, I think we can start to identify some of those military locations which could be interfering with equipment, that would then expose the weakness of DDR5.

If you fancy expanding the list of programming languages [1] I could use it then.

I'd also introduce an option to use the browser geolocate api [2], which then converts to the geolocation data favoured by the link to sites because sometimes some locations are too large eg London or are not recognised "bay area", and a map for those looking to move to different parts of the world and want to see what job prospects would be like, when remote is not an option.

fwiw.

Since when did Brownian motion smoke and air particles have eyes and need to stand on two legs?

I sometimes think scientists need to get out more, maybe attend Glastonbury, where you are walking from the Pyramid Stage to the Other Stage, after its rained heavily and Eavis hasnt given the order to put any or enough straw down, so everyone is concentrating on staying upright by looking down at the mud swamp that will consume their next step and wellington boot whilst also briefly but hesitantly looking at the person or persons immediately in front of them in order to facilitate their escape.

Sure arena's are less likely to be water logged mud swamps, but outdoor puddles introduce their own obstacles as do cambers of the surface. Get past ticket control, enter big atriums and newbies will pause in awe of the size whilst also getting their bearings, regulars will know where to go. I see this behaviour in every major train station or airport, especially as the signs are generally up high, diverting their gaze from taking the next step, thus slowing down the flow of people.

I dont see any of these factors being accounted for in this paper.

And its for the above mentioned reasons, namely not accounting for the proper metrics that count, that some self driving vehicle companies are not going to succeed any time soon at level 5, because their algorithm weighting is all wrong.

Upgrade to DDR5 ram the latest standard which has on-die ECC memory but is not as good at spotting bit flips unlike proper ECC memory with a separate extra data correction chip.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR5_SDRAM#:~:text=Unlike%20DD....

Whilst Proper ECC ram chips and motherboards exist, I'm surprised that a cheaper but equally as good as Proper ECC solution doesn't exist although I know some would argue that DDR5 is a step in the right direction of a marathon.

I guess the markets know best and chase the numbers, assuming they are also using Proper ECC memory, binary coded decimal and not floating point arithmetic which introduces errors, something central banks have been using for decades?

The GH will increase your neutrophil levels which are anti inflammatory but will deplete your omega3 levels in the body, increasing your desire for tea and other sources which increase dopamine levels. As omega3 levels deplete, your osteoclast levels will increase which will give you bone problems like osteomalacia or putty bones as I call it because you can literally push your bones in and they feel like putty and I dont mean the software called Putty!

Osteoclasts release calcium into the blood stream which amplify the stimulating catecholamines, so would be on "it" physically and mentally until you drop. The higher your Omega3 levels, the less osteoclasts are differentiated from bone marrow stem cells, and the presence of omega 3's make it a COX inhibitor of sorts because it ties up the cyclooxygenase, and manmade COX inhibitors are prescribed for things like arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in animals and humans, which is where the immune system is getting inside the bones and attacking them from the inside, further reducing the quality of your bone marrow and subsequent stem cell release.

To help protect against that, an increased intake of vit K2-MK4 can help maintain strong bones.

I wouldnt recommend nicotinic acid if you are going through puberty because it will increase the chances of getting acromegaly, aka that James Bond "Jaws"/Internet Chad look, you'll have increased height and more pronounced bone formation especially in the face, but little strength because your muscles lack the other chemicals to make decent hard strong quality muscle, like myostatin inhibitors. This is why food companies in the UK use niacinamide (vit b3) in fortified food, the UK food industry wants that soft feminine look in the population! GH also increases tumour risk despite being the first chemo drug used in the US in the 50's.

Exercise 1st thing in the morning is the most effective time to exercise, before eating or drinking anything which probably explains why the military use this during basic training to get people fit. Its the hormones that help us get fit and build muscle which wake us up every day. Going hungry also increase growth hormone so besides being angry when hungry, which is a good way to get motivated to exercise, the growth hormone will helps bones form better, which in animals like dogs helps reduce the incidence of hip dysplasia and the subsequent need for hip replacement's in post pup dogs, something the vets wont tell you!

Personally I would increase my omega 3 intake, studies have used up to 8g a day, algal oil (omega 3 from vat grown algae), over several months should deliver the weight loss results required, without trying to lose weight and they have an anti depressant effect as well, but it takes a long time (months) to get levels up in places like the brain or spinal fluid.

The algae is what the fish feed on, so by not having fish oil but algal oil, you get pure uncontaminated omega 3's without those fishy burps that comes with consuming fish oil.

Stylus touchscreen, so today that could be a full size edge to edge screen, with a slide out keyboard with tactile dimples to help you locate the exact key being pressed easily.

Havent seen anything since which is a shame.

The UK is terrible for this abuse of human rights and following their own interpretation of law, and it starts in childhood, usually under the pretence of teaching people/kids a law whilst they get abused.

The British culture is toxic, it needed to be in order to force itself on the rest of the world as a criminal empire.

Especially when they are in charge of the hierarchy.

How slow do you blink, let me know when you are out and about like driving, I can head for safety then!

> Nothing to do with google or subliminal messaging about current elections,

We have an election coming up so this is a way for Youtube to start influencing the public. I saw this with Jeremy Corbyn before he won the Labour Party leadership, the Google Trends was projecting Jeremy Corbyn to be the next leader and with all the other social media like on Reddit, sure enough JC one. Using data projections, including AI to influence decisions is a subtle way to influence people's judgement.

Based on my own experience, I could safely say the US tech giants were manipulating political events in other country's as I doubt I was alone, and are using AI to provide the cover which enables them to avoid taking responsibility for their actions! ROFL

I've been exposed to election rigging since before George Bush Jr got in, and I'll even accuse the BBC of being involved in US election rigging as well, because I can usually choose the next US president from a year out just from watching BBC news!
