The business of demand aggregation has been replaced by Temu, where the consumer data is worth more than the average item.

This almost always happens when you are in the passing lane, and you are not passing. It’s much more rare in the right lane. Mythbusters, and also other traffic studies, show that returning to the right lane on the freeway whenever possible adds almost no time to a trip.

When the start/end doesn’t matter as much for my team as changing the default duration to 25/50 minutes. This way even if a meeting would start at the quarter hour you would always end up with a small gap between.

Many religious extremists, gender unrelated.

The less voters you have in your district the easier it is to gerrymander a guaranteed win.

The majority of counterparties were regular citizens, who did not understand that what Jane Street was doing was even possible.

Money is debt, you can’t make it without someone else owing it. Taking billions in profits from India’s stock market is pretty straightforward, millions of Indians lost their savings.

The article does not come to any health conclusions, just studies the impact on indoor air chemistry.

You are consenting to the experimentation by accessing the software. It’s covered by the terms and conditions.

It’s specifically dismissing the idea that the problem is new. That this is the first time kids have been different, that workers wanted better conditions. Nobody wants to work “anymore”… The kids “these days”

Why do parents feel the government needs to restrict everyone to solve parenting issues. Does the drinking age eliminate under age drinking?

Wow 11 years ago. i switched to an electric car recently and still frequently smell exhaust fumes from cars that are running rich or burning motor oil. I might be alive to see the end of internal combustion engines in cities which seems inevitable now.

See rule 11.

We used aws lambdas to execute the pdf renders and upload the result to s3 using a signed url passed in from the request. Complete insulation from our own application process, all of data is passed into the request so the worst the user can do is add a malicious file to our s3 bucket.

Enron, FTX

Switch to contexts and add the same secret under multiple names

CORBA made rpc calls opaque, which was nice in theory, but there are faults that need to be handled only for remote calls. It’s a lot of extra code to handle those faults that you don’t need for local functions.

Thinking your own family members are more important than others in the community leads to hierarchy.

This is something that occurs on twitch streams sometimes. While it can be educational for users to see why they were banned, some appeals are just attention seeking. Occasionally though it exposes the banned user’s or worse a victim users personal information, (eg mental health issues, age, location) and can lead to both users being targeted and bad behaviour by the audience. For example Bob is banned for bad behaviour towards Alice (threats, doxxing), by making that public you are not just impacting Bob, but could also put Alice at risk.

I have seen newer 1+ phones lock up and it fail to respond to the reset sequence. After receiving a call the modem crashes and it reboots. No other input can reset the device.

So South Park episode?

An accident occurs and I need 5 litres of blood and a new kidney. You are in the hospital in a coma, should the state be able to require doctors to take your kidney and blood and put it my body without your consent?

Anyone can send use from fedex’s sender id and your phone will put it right in that saved contacts conversation. Both SMS and phone calls need to be upgraded to use secure identity protocols.

Seems like you could install the kext to the internal drive, then use a tool like Carbon Copy Cloner to build a bootable external copy of the internal system with the kext installed.

This is the commercial version I remember which has less ships, a smaller board and no adjacency rules https://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/battleship.pdf

Anti-cheat software, even those that run in ring 0, can always be lied to by another program, even without a VM. Just look at how deep the Sony root kit [1] buried itself into systems and was still easily circumvented by other software. If anything gaming in VMs makes cheating harder and if NVidia, intel and Microsoft worked together they could help publishers ship secure VMs to run games reducing support tickets and cheats.

If you are looking to take on credit cards than sure it’s hard to be a new processor. If you are a bank, it’s fairly simple to issue your customers a Mastercard. I think the small players at this scale are still multi-million dollar studios and production companies.

Seems like this problem would be solved by a serializable transaction isolation level without the need for any locking. If during the transaction the select would return a different result the transaction will fail and can be retried. A select sum() is part of the example for serializable transaction isolation. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/transaction-iso.html...

Film crews in LA are renting the lots for their production, not taking a ticket as if they are parking as a regular customer. I’m sure the garage would have been accommodating if you had asked to use the space.

Maybe a math competency test is more appropriate.
