tzakrajs··on Open Source Doesn’t Make Money Because It Isn’t Designed to Make Money
Google and friends would just open source their internal rewrites of projects which had been locked out.
tzakrajs··on Herpes Virus Reactivation in Astronauts During Spaceflight
Almost like they wanted the next most useless thing to abstinence, complicated process.
tzakrajs··on How Boeing, FAA certified the suspect 737 MAX flight control system
Your footnote is really appreciated. I think there is a lot of trauma in this world and coping is a daily struggle for many of us. My hat is off to you.
tzakrajs··on Synthetic Sensors: Towards General-Purpose Sensing
This technology is key to how we will detect fake or doctored videos. Publishers will no longer be able to produce simple live video stream, they will need to publish general purpose sensors to create an audit trail for validating the contents. If you want to fake a video, you will need to forge all of these other signals in a consistent way too.
tzakrajs··on US refuses to ground Boeing 737 Max
What does the US know that the EU or China doesn't which gives them such confidence? Any clues?
tzakrajs··on California's San Bernardino County restricts construction of solar, wind farms
Or perhaps Fallout: New Vegas....
tzakrajs··on We Need Chrome No More
Also having a good time with Firefox on macOS running on an early 2018 MacBook Pro. It has fully replaced my Chrome use at work.
tzakrajs··on We Need Chrome No More
It’s got great performance on macOS, and I suggest that people try it again.
tzakrajs··on Musk Faces U.S. Contempt Claim for Violating Accord with SEC
Do you think Elon truly believed that full self driving capability would ever be enabled for the people who shelled out for the newer versions of the car (the one that added shitty cameras all around)? He knows it can’t be done safely without high FPS lidar and/or more compute on board. He doesn’t care. He’s pulling a Theranos.
tzakrajs··on Portmanteau Generator
Your generator keeps suggesting me to use the n-word (hard r) and I am not putting anything racist in. Can you please add some filters?
tzakrajs··on Japanese government will access home devices in security survey
People just break your windows anyways because they don’t expect the door to be unlocked. Have heard this anecdote from friends twice. Also the people breaking into cars aren’t typically the most sober or mindful of detail. I had my car broken into a little while ago and they stole a bag of tools on the seat but ignored a like new MacBook Pro on the floor of the car. The point is that you can’t win and should enjoy losing.
tzakrajs··on Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
People here on HN are confused and believe that breaching a TOS is some sort of moral peril.

Calm down. It’s business and no one is going to jail because they blocked an advertisement. Society at large doesn’t think piracy is even worth punishing, so why and when did we become obsequious for RIAA or MPAA?

tzakrajs··on Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
This is what is frustrating. I will agree that users are subject to civil law, but that is not a moral claim. I am seeing so many people on HN taking a strong, rebuking moral stance on a civil matter. They hand wave the morality of Spotify allowing RCE by third-parties but feel indignant for a person breaking a fucking TOS or EULA.
tzakrajs··on Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
When the business model is to float a huge amount of capital to purchase unsustainable licensing agreements while you become a record label or movie studio — then it makes sense why we are here.
tzakrajs··on Insect collapse
There are enough sadists that I wouldn’t rule out a homicide yet.
tzakrajs··on AT&T’s “5G E” network is not true 5G
This article declares the tautology that 5G Evolution is not the same as 5G.
tzakrajs··on YouTube Stars Are Pushing a Shady Gambling Site
I have used their services once and it seems like the biggest issue is that remote therapy probably isn't as beneficial as being in-person. The prices are high for what you get and good luck trying to figure out how to make a claim to your insurance with them.
tzakrajs··on Gaming worth more than video and music combined
What culture are you in?
tzakrajs··on YouTube's Copyright Protection System Is a Mess
Or not? What the hell kind of attitude is this?
tzakrajs··on Google’s Secret China Project “Effectively Ended” After Internal Confrontation
Yes, the commenter we are addressing is a trash bag of a human being and wants us to know because they have anonymity. We don’t need to deep dive further.
tzakrajs··on Ask HN: Would you accept a distant interview with no travel reimbursement?
He is right that it is rare that companies will reimburse because typically there is no reimbursing to do; that is, they book all of the accommodations similar to how they would for employee travel and relocation assistance.
tzakrajs··on 'Dark fluid' with negative mass could dominate the universe
Negative mass has greater pressure to displace vacuum in a similar way that mass does? That was my assumption. Perhaps not!
tzakrajs··on Remote code execution vulnerability in SQLite
Technically, this attack is actually is two separate attacks in a chain. The first node in the chain is delivering malicious SQL. The second node is executing code remotely via SQLite. The proof is that SQLite or the application linking it could have mitigated this attack independently by either filtering the query string or better protecting the memory which is being written to.

In practice, however, the community gets more bang for their buck if they label the SQLite code execution vulnerability as an RCE since the vast majority of use is in a networked setting. You have to remember the audience used for these terms. They aren’t scientists in the traditional sense where taxonomy is highly aligned the ontology — instead, the labeling serves the operators with metaphors that depart from reality insofaras they increase security engineers ability to do their job effectively.

tzakrajs··on UCLA asked faculty to consider declining to review for Elsevier journals
Maybe it is a self correcting problem. Perhaps the moment Elsevier is so out of vogue that you can’t find a library or peer at another university with access is also the inflection point where Elsevier loses its network effect. Why would you license your work to a journal for which your peers and their institutions have no direct access?
tzakrajs··on Johnson & Johnson knew for decades that asbestos lurked in its Baby Powder
Performing cost-benefit analysis is enhanced when you mention the benefits resulting from the cost -- otherwise you just get down voted.
tzakrajs··on Amazon’s Chips Threaten Intel
You would hate it too if you had to open source the entirety of your OS or application because a GPLv3 COPYING file was floating about in there.
tzakrajs··on 'Dark fluid' with negative mass could dominate the universe
Because more and more negative mass fills in the space left behind by the expansion creating further expansion?
tzakrajs··on Millennials in China Are Using Nudes to Secure Loans
Or was it, “Life is artful imitation”?
tzakrajs··on AWS Ground Station – Ingest and Process Data from Orbiting Satellites
Pretty sure NOAA also regulates the use and encryption of the data collected. Also the keys are typically in an HSM with lots of security protocol and air gap, so good luck with that.
tzakrajs··on AWS Ground Station – Ingest and Process Data from Orbiting Satellites
Of intelligence data there is. Read up on ITAR and EAR. So you don’t think that the satellites AWS will interface with will be facing earth with sensors?
