I've added a link to IPVM to the parent to my comment that might interest you! Regarding established: I might be wrong! I willingly admit that I knew nothing about verkada some days ago. Seems to be relatively new (5 year-ish) and &quo

More on this. “We did not exploit any flaws or vulnerabilities. The cameras have a built-in maintenance backdoor, which allows anyone with super admin privileges to access a root shell on any camera of any customer at the click of a button.

I'd like to add a bit of context to how security cameras most often are installed. In the industry in general you have producers of the equipment and you have buyers, but in between there you have integrators. The integrators plays a c

This really struck me also. I work in the relevant industry (we make cameras etc.) and there is always a bit of pain to get user footage. This is how it should be! To have everything from source code to customer material accessible to an ad

Nothing on blog or "What's new" either, just corporate newspeak.

The article does mention Portacle, which is very easy to install on MacOS. I'd recommend you try it to see if there's any trouble.

The line-by-line explanation is very handy, thank you for that. I find that one of the hard balances with using Emacs is whether to fully understand everything you put into your conf-files or just accepting some degree of copy-paste.

How do you know people believe him? I can tell you why I love his essays: because of the way he argues. It is very transparent. I seldomly agree with his conclusion(s), but since he is so honest (he is not trying to deceive) in listing his

Yes, but we also didn't close down our economy nearly as much as most other European countries. I'm just saying that there are too many variables to conclude anything at this point, especially given that we won't have a good

Let me try to rephrase it in a less cynical manner, best as I can. It seems to me that Sweden's strategy is attracting more attention (in form of primarily criticism) than f.x. Belgium's, despite the latters deathrate being ~2x th

You are right. I meant to point out that for some significant proportion of people, Sweden are in these circumstances not a country, but a tool to prove their point. And unless one is careful, which some people are, one will reach whatever

This is the situation in a nutshell. Would be comical if the topic was different.

I certainly don't like the death rate either. Unfortunately lots of countries are in the same ballpark, 3-4/10000, but with wildly varying stragies. "Only a few months" happens to be the same timeframe for almost everyon

I can only speak for the parts of Sweden where I live and socialise, but I know of no-one who things our policy is "normal", whatever that means. It is some kind of myth that we are ignoring the risks and pretends like nothing is

I agree a bit, I'm not certain exactly what their game is either. The one thing that feels consistent is the priority to endurance, to push for actions that are sustainable in the long run. Of course, in the long run we are all dead an

Rereading my own post some hours later I don't like the tone of it, so I'll willingly appologise for that. This might warrant a FUD-claim (I had to look up FUD to start with). The point I was trying to make, which I don't at

Why compare with Portugal? Why not compare with some other country with similar deathrate as Sweden but completely different choices? Maybe because you assertion about "very bad choices" then wouldn't hold any water. It might

The amount of misinformation (or the very least, confused statements) in this thread is high for being HN. Soo many people know much about Sweden without ever setting their foot here. Interesting that. The world's apparent obsession wi

Thank you. There's sooooo much "I think like this therefore I will find two variables out of 10000 and link them" going around. The easy with which one could argue the exact opposite using some two other variables seems to go

I think you misread me, I meant "general" as in general counter-measure, not COVID19-specific. Clearly I should have been more precise. In a situation where overload of healthcare is a primary concern, recommending counter-measure

by heracles 6y ago
The general evidence for washing hands as an effective counter-measure is very very strong. It is a complete no-brainer, while decisions regarding face masks are complex and have to take into account lots of variables.

I don't think so, no. Here is why: the basic behavior of muscles are decently well understood. For example why and how they contract and relax, and why they tire. We know of several reasons why muscles might malfunction. What is not we

by heracles 7y ago
I am so sick and tired of the muscle analogy (not criticizing you, but the general usage)! Almost always when I see it used, it is to describe a situation where we know almost _nothing_ about the fundamental phenomena! So any so-called simi

Thanks for sharing, it certainly makes me feel better about my troubles with accepting python. And "the happy path" might be a state you spend a /minority/ of your time in, depending on project. So first you spend 10% of

You have a point, but I think there is more to it. I have failed twice the last year to be offered a DS position after going through all the interviews, references and HR personality tests. I would say that ~50% of the issue was me (0 not n

Yes, money is important. But it is not the only thing that is VERY important to most poeple. As a EU citizen I am yet to see any overflow whatsoever of plumbers! Nor do their wages, at least in my country (in Scandinavia) seem to go down at

That is a fair point, but isn't it built into this particular field? We can prosecute equally for jaywalking, but anti-competitive behavior gets worse the bigger the offender is and/or the worse offense they commit. So in that way

Regarding "personal branding": most people in the EU doesn't even know the name of the 1-3 top ranking officials in the EU. So while there might be all kinds of personal reasons for this (I can't possibly rule that out),

In most (all?) other fields of law you are expected to abide by the rules as they are stated, or risk being punished by the legislative powers. That's not a vendetta, that's law as it is most commonly practiced. I don't see w

LispWorks offers several version of their free IDE with some limitations (f.x. limited heap size), most of which are irrelevant if you just want to try/learn Common Lisp. I have limited personal experience with it, but it seems good an
