I think the growth pattern since 2017 doesn't need much more explanation than the "natural" growth of the software and security ecosystems and practices.

It's since a couple of months ago that things have gotten completely out of control.

I hear you. This pretty daunting: https://cve.0xosprey.com/

NNUE was added to Stockfish in 2020. Although this was a big improvement, it was already extremely strong before that. With plain hold hand-coded logic as a board evaluation function.

I see, but why were they numbered differently? Why not use the same numbers?

Because adding this to the recent Ledger hack, how is anybody going to keep their crypto safe?

Isn't it only going to get worse from here?

It does. But if the name is "carriage return" and the icon is an arrow, it would make sense that the arrow shows where the carriage returns to.

It's still an understandable choice though. I am just adding thought to complicate matters.

The symbol is a bit awkward in conjunction with the name "Carriage Return" though, because the Carriage returns to the right. (assuming left-to-right writing)

I am a meat lover that understands that eating real meat is way too large a drain on our planet's resources.

To me, the progress vegan meat has made is an absolute godsend.

I used to eagerly anticipate the lab-grown meat revolution, but with the quality of current vegan alternatives, it just seems no longer necessary.

This is exactly the problem we're ignoring.

In the end, most software is a necessary evil. It solves a problem that shouldn't be there. In the end it's no different than healthcare or prisons. We don't need as much as possible. We need as little as possible. This automation isn't actually helping us.

Well, there is this: https://mobilitydatabase.org/ which sounds about what you're looking for, although it is still up to the client to combine the feeds its looking for.

Well, I am reading it and I hope I manage. It's pretty scary to leave behind what I've excelled in all my life but it is the only way forward for me.

So thanks for the encouragement :).

I think the worst is when they are skilled.

You're basically describing my work day. My job went from interesting, highly skilled work to mostly horrible brain rot over the past year.

It's depressing and I don't know a way out. Other then a complete career change, throwing away 30 years of experience and a matching salary.

I fully agree but that is a different argument than the one mingus88 presented. They suggested that the owner did not wipe the device because they did not actively enter the pin, which seems to be a flawed idea because legally intent matters.

A bit of topic, but does the word "seconded" still work when five are required? Isn't there a more generic term?

Yes. This seems mostly the same for lower-case, except we made a lower loop on the f as well making at one stroke.

Also, our capitals were a bit more complicated, such as having 3 loops in the H.

Going from 720 average to 100,000s peak still doesn't sound realistic. especially as they operate in many timezones.

100k(s) orders per minute is several orders of magnitude more than realistic. Amazon does 20k orders per minute.

Instacart doesn't need "100,000s of grocery delivery orders per minute".

There must be some 0s added for the sake of the story.

Please use HTTPS.

I use HTTPS only. I don't think HTTP is acceptable for anyone let alone a technical blog post. It takes a few minutes, and it prevents me and all your visitors from getting all kinds of MITM injections.

Thanks.

The spec states:

> The coordinate reference system for all GeoJSON coordinates is a geographic coordinate reference system, using the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS 84) [WGS84] datum, with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees.

So that seems to be a misuse of the format. Using a geojson library for this may get you into trouble with ranges or antimeridian cutting.

Can you explain what the "No Gender" extension is about and why it is a must?

This proposal is really harmed by the name.

There is a reason none the existing methods use the word "TRACK". Although connecting home can be used for tracking it doesn't have to be.

If a tool uses connecting home for telemetry, implementing "DO_NOT_TRACK" would suggest it does track its users without the setting, even if it may not.

Rename it this to "DO_NOT_CONNECT_HOME" and it may be a useful standard.

At 3x5 it states:

> The "M", "W" and "Q" suffer, but it's still got a distinct O and zero.

The Q is weird; I would think it makes more sense to draw it as a zero with the bottom right set.

I am responding to someone that used OIL presumably because it is - although incorrect - more clear as an example for those that are not into trading.

The fact that is used to make profit doesn't absolve us from any moral judgement. Buying stocks of a company improves its financial position allowing it to grow.

Would you buy stocks of ClusterBombsInc over CureForCancerInc because it has slightly better prospects?

> how about short-selling of stocks, isn't it the same thing?

Yes. That's why it's illegal to short-sell your stocks just before you announce that your company is broke.

There are no such regulations when betting on a bomb dropping on a boat.

Wow. I am not sure how to respond to this as you seem to have a completely different mindset. You mean to say it is "proven" not to be a solid strategy as in not maximizing profit?

Surely, you acknowledge that funding something is a rather direct way of actively supporting it. It is your money and your choice of what you choose to invest it in, and thus how you choose to shape the future. If you buy OIL to make money, you are still responsible for the additional investment made in oil, and are still shaping the future, whether you like it or not.

Actually yes. I put my money in things I would like to see shape the future, which I think is what investment should be about: shaping the future.

But disregarding this admittedly niche attitude; it's not the same thing. If you're opening bets on the ships being bombed before a certain date, you're opening incentives for people to do so. Although buying OIL or Palantir is morally questionable, it does not create such direct incentives.

You don't have to imagine some giant conspiracy. Fact is, that everyone can make a bet, and there are a lot of people with knowledge and influence in the political decisions made.

In sports, at least the outcome is only effected by the sportsmen. Here, who knows which and how many people have inside knowledge and influence that they can use that to their financial advantage?

Well, it would be if everyone betting wouldn't have an influence on the outcome. That's "wisdom of the crowds". But what if the people putting money on the Strait being closed are the same that close them? Surely, that's no longer the wisdom of the crowds at play. Just perverse incentives.

This is a nice overview, but please remove the PolyMarket indicator. It is an obscene prediction mechanism as it creates horrible financial incentives to a war situation. Its degenerate effects have been featured here before. [1]

Let's not condone "measurements" that are effectively ways for people to gain money on important political decisions, affecting the lives of many people.
