Which missile intercept systems do you refer to? Surely not the Patriot which has proven to be most effective in Ukraine. Due to poor planning, it sounds like the Patriot stocks have been blown thru so now things are exposed.
No, they disassembled German optics industry plants in 1945, moved them to the Soviet Union and started cranking out great cameras based on German designs. I've heard that some Soviet cameras had Leica labeled parts inside.
Stuff like that happened repeatedly: GAZ Chaika was a copy of Packard; SM-1 computer was a copy of PDP 11/34; Tu-144 looked just like Concorde, etc. etc.
The initial murder case Kovacs investigates in both the book/show involves a wealthy man who is killed but has his backup mind inserted into his backup clone so he is “recovered” so the victim has no memory of his killing since the backup was prior to killing instead of optimally just prior to death. There is also a big subplot that is show only with Kovacs’ sister and clones.
Anyone claiming this is just a tip is being disingenuous or is extremely naive. MS knows exactly what they're doing, this wasn't a charity offering. Now they're claiming it was a tip to save face.
Permissioned data is probably the most fundamental, the part I looked most deeply into myself.
After that money, which I see as less of a protocol thing. A protocol or platform has to enable the people to make way more money than itself, at least 10x. (1) Bluesky should have created subscriptions for their service, they wouldn't have needed the private equity had they. (2) Bluesky did more to block others making money than enable it. Graze was in talks with them to enable the creators using their feed system to make money, until Bluesky walked away. (3) Permissioned data would unlock monetization without blockchain.
Permissioned data is being worked on, but the commentary from Bluesky is not promising. (1) Nobody in ATProto has built a permission system (that I'm aware of) (2) Bluesky are proposing a very simplistic system. This will put burden on app developers and create opposition the credible exit philosophy.
Record history / editing. The former should be at the protocol level, the later on feature that is highly desired, possible today, but they resist with fervor.
Bluesky could have put way more funding into the ecosystem, especially in hindsight with the $100M they picked up just after peak. Compare this to Hytale and what they are doing. Night and day.
Use Blades `<i>`-helper to wrap emojis, favicons, or simply drop Font Awesome icons inside links. It automatically handles sizing and alignment while preventing underline on icons.
How: `a:has(>i){ display: inline-flex }` and `a>i{ float: left }`
These posts get upvoted because the content itself is big news (government apps having insane amounts of spyware is, imo, something worth discussing.) I think if the frontend was just plain HTML/CSS, it would still get a comparable number of upvotes.
Same. If Google does this, my next phone will be an iPhone. Freedom is the only reason to put up with Android's shittiness. If they turn it into a walled garden, then we'll choose the better kept garden and it sure as hell isn't Google's.
I'm not sure about the details but Apple know who I am anyway as I have various stuff with them and presumably the only info they are giving re this stuff is whether the user is over 18 or not? They generally seem quite good with privacy, at least more so than Facebook and the like.
1) I was hooked on day one. Logged on every day, mostly read message boards, paged/chatted with sysops or played door games at first. But very quickly fell down the "hpcva" rabbit hole, which paved the way for the infosec undertones of my career. I'm fuzzy on the program names, seem to remember Telex, Terminate, ToneLoc (a random dialer where you'd scan an entire NPA for interesting carriers).
2) We got a small list of boards from the family friend who helped install our modem, and after you had the first few boards most of the logout screens had a long list of others. There were also lists (by area code) that you could sometimes download from the files section, or some of the grey area ones were traded (usually required NUP/NUV anyway -- new user password/new user voting).
3) Both. Some 20+ node boards were legendary. Some boards were so empty that the sysop would break in after barely giving you time to login because they were so happy to finally see a caller.
4) Drama seemed to matter a lot more. Today it's mostly just drive-by arguing on X or something, and after you exchange unplesantries you move on with your life. On early boards (and into IRC) the communities felt more insular and drama really could divide an entire community and leave lasting marks. Topics were all over the place. Flirting seemed more open, and plenty of fights were just over girls because at the time the female side of tech was extremely unrepresented.
5) How to troubleshoot/fix computers was common. Discussing specific programming languages really bloomed with Usenet and IRC. The t-files on boards that were most interesting to me were about making computers do things they weren't meant to do. Fravia/ORC+ reversing tutorials, or phrack, etc etc.
There is a lot of documentation from Apple on how all of this works, but this is indeed expected behaviour. A way to make this smoother would have been:
1. Doing the password reset
2. Reboot straight back into recovery
3. Update your new password back into your old password
4. Boot into macOS, your default keychain will unlock but you'll still have to re-authenticate to iCloud since your machine-user identity combo will no longer match with what iCloud expects. (not sure if this is part of Octagon Trust, but there are various interesting layers to this)
There are a number of much more in-depth technical guides and specs, but just listing out random articles (or the Black Hat talk(s)) would probably rob someone of a nice excursion into platform security.
The problem is more about how it is reported to the public. Science is ugly, but when a discovery is announced to the public, a high level of confidence is expected, and journalists certainly act like there is. Kind of like you are not supposed to ship untested development versions of software to customers.
But sometimes, some of the ugly science gets out of the lab a bit too soon, and it usually doesn't end well. Usually people get their hopes up, and when it doesn't live up to the hype, people get confused.
It really stood out during the covid pandemic. We didn't have time to wait for the long trials we normally expect, waiting could mean thousands of deaths, and we had to make do with uncertainty. That's how we got all sorts of conflicting information and policies that changed all the time. The virus spread by contact, no, it is airborne, masks, no masks, hydroxycholoroquine, no, that's bullshit, etc... that sort of thing. That's the kind of thing that usually don't get publicized outside of scientific papers, but the circumstances made it so that everyone got to see that, including science deniers unfortunately.
You can also usually just turn off the passenger-side airbag. I know there's been a button on every car I've owned to do so, for when you've got something heavy in the front seat that isn't a passenger.

Same here. And when you encourage students to ask good questions, that goes double ... you're forcedd to see how important their new perspectives are, and to create your own!
No, it is certainly possible to come up with an innovation that allows progress.
But the tone I get from discussions about repairability and performance is that it would be trivial to make the device, if only businesses wanted to.
However, given the fact that it hasn’t happened yet from a variety of alternative manufacturers, the probability seems very low that the ideal device is possible with current technology at a price that is viable.
Basically, it is a competitive market (or was), and what won out was what was possible. Barring some leap in technology, it is unrealistic to assume we can do better without suffering tradeoffs.
Sheesh... I should not have downloaded the White House app yesterday just to see how ludicrous it was. I just deleted it, though I'm sure a lot of my data has already been exfiltrated. Doesn't excessive tracking like this violate the App Store + Google Play's ToS?
Live photos are just .mov sidecar files. There are a variety of iCloud export tools you can use to move to self hosting, including mine (shameless plug) -
