Microsoft: making it harder, better, faster, stronger.

I wonder what was wrong with the shell script thing really, other than it didn't have the panic button.

Cool website. Percentage is a good place to start, but if you want to get closer to the alpha of a given idea, dividing the percentage return by its beta to the benchmark, then subtracting the return of the benchmark over the same period will get you closer.

Investors like to see revenue, when they are looking to make an investment.

If you knew about the existence of this program and were determined to keep a collection of CSAM on your phone I don't understand why someone would choose to dance around specific thresholds rather than just disable iCloud sync.

Drawings are prosecutable in many countries including Canada, the UK, and Australia. Also, iCloud sync is enabled by default when you set up your device, whereas the Facebook app at least is sandboxed and you have to choose to upload your photos.

You could do that. The point of the feature isn't to prevent that.

The feature has two functions. The first is to decrease the severity of the consequences if a conversation partner's device falls into the wrong hands, say a government who wants to use chat messages as evidence, a corporate competitor who stole the phone, or just a friend who is rifling through your unlocked phone.

The other purpose is to make it easier to participate in a social contract where your chat history won't be kept around forever for all participants to dig up in the future. Yes, someone could modify the client code, or take screenshots, or do any number of things to preserve data. You still have to take care about what you send. But most people won't, because it is additional effort and generally people want to adhere to social contracts.

Security is never all or nothing. It is always about taking as many reasonable steps as you can to limit your risks.

What is the point of end-to-end encryption if the snitch for objectionable content lives on the device?

why bother?

Funny enough, the recent infrastructure bill in the US includes provisions for all new cars to be fitted with breathalyzer-like devices.

EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization

You can say "Platform fees (waived during beta)" or something like that to make it clear.

And yet strategy ETFs still exist

They could just modify the cheat to filter out enemies that appear for less than two frames .

I guess the poster meant production customer data. Production logs and metrics should be easy to access, but customer data should be highly privileges and definitely not present in logs. At my old employer viewing production customer database required a customer support escalation.

I did triplebyte most recently in mid 2019 and that was my experience as well. I used triplebyte as well as job searching on my own and I got a few offers from triplebyte, some of which seemed like interesting projects but couldn't offer a level of compensation that would make the risk worth it. I got two high-quality job offers from my own search, both of which were more compelling than any of the triplebyte offers and I am still with the company whose offer I accepted.

The "super week" of onsite interviews was interesting, probably increased my overall interviewing skill, but was probably one of the more stressful individual weeks in my life.

You can "hit the ask" during a trade

I think more than 50% of people would let you tailgate their badge

Why do you need to compete with block subsidy rewards? Block subsidies are in addition to transaction fees

NFTs I think haven't found product market fit yet. Imagine skins in a video game. People pay good money for those even though it's "just pixels", and I think there would be sustained interest to trade and own skins in a limited run, for example, autographed by an e-sports player. Or, in a digital trading card game, decks could be represented as a bundle of NFTs, and players could rent them to participate in a tournament without having to go buy all the carts themselves.

I don't think the current model where everyone and their mom doodles something and mints an NFT is sustainable without external anchors of value.

Or, DRM removal, or, malware analysis, or...

Why are these kinds of lenses so expensive?

When I buy a GPU from a retailer, it is a rental GPU?

Sounds super cool. I can't wait for LFD tech to become more accessible to consumers.

I have a 0.1g precision scale from AWS which ran me about $25 dollars, and it has been indispensable both for the small ingredients and also for weighing stuff like frozen berries, where the gaps can make it hard to determine how much you actually have.

They sound "different", but not "unconditionally better", and it's not something you can't replicate in the signal path...

I think you can deduplicate at the OS level

They are talking about welfare benefits. Many of these are structured so that the marginal dollar you earn results in $0.75 to $1000+ being taken away from you in benefits.

It's almost like this happened in the midst of a global pandemic where most people aren't allowed to do the things they would rather do than sit inside and play games...

5gexposed.com is not really a reputable source. Anyway,

> Also, numerous experiments seeking to prove direct contagion through close contact, droplets of mucus or other processes have proved fruitless.

> From 1933 to the present day, virologists have been unable to present any experimental study proving that influenza spreads through normal contact between people. All attempts to do so have met with failure.

This is just demonstrably false. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3682679/
