Probably, but I'd also wager that the majority of those devices use physical connections that any machine capable of running recent windows versions do not have. E.g. DB-25 ports. I will also wager that the only real "wall"

On the "bad old days:" I think it is important to ask ourselves which of the problems the author is talking about are uniquely "new." For example, PTSD has always been a thing, but our awareness of it has changed. In t

Yes and no. What I envision is a more collaborative process where the faulty data (and your calibration concerns) could be available for scrutiny before your work was officially finished. I feel like if we did it right, it would be possi

It seems to me that the problems with science as it is done today are open secrets, and can essentially be summarized as: 1: Publication pressure. There is too much emphasis on creating publications. The end result is that people rush out

That is precisely the cultural shift I am talking about. If you are doing science, the thing you spend 60 hours a week doing should be "trying to understand the world better." Once you have achieved some new understanding, you s

I agree, and I also think science should be done on something closer to a wiki than a PDF. Unfortunately, there is no switch to flip that can make this happen. Making the change would require a cultural shift across a majority of scientifi

That's fair, but it implies that at no point did FB ask themselves "what would someone who exploited this vulnerability have access to?" If they had, they would have realized they were completely owned before the researche

Surely a competent technology company would realize the using creds that were stored on a known-compromised server is bad and change them immediately, right?

I don't doubt it at all. Keep in mind that "simple" is relative, we have to ask "simple compared to what?" For lots of people, I be that the math involved in these neural nets is the most complicated math they&#x2

That, and there is a sort of consistency to most of the commands. E.g. it is possible to develop an intuition about the order of arguments while solving one type of problem, and have that intuition still apply when you switch to commands

Ad blocking is not a necessarily a browser-based thing. Even if they were to mandate a blocker-free browser, you could block ads with a firewall, by running your own DNS, or through the HOSTS file.

You don't have to do any convincing. If people are starving, they will eat your vegi-mass. If people have no other alternatives, they will live in your people-pods.
