I don't think the author adequately considers changes to the local environment of the thermometer, changes in the equipment itself (eg replacement, movement) possible changes in recording methodology and so on. There was no real effort

Perhaps also worth noting that rootkits don't have to follow the usual rules; you don't have to rely on the kernel linker if you don't want to. (Tradeoff of runtime DIY symbol resolution / code grovelling being it&#x2

What's interesting to me is that Australian tech investment is a wasteland BUT there's a strong "take a punt" culture in resource exploration / prospecting. There are definitely people out there with money and a hea

That does seem like one of those "too good to be true" arrangements that can fall victim to pricing updates down the track. That said, not unreasonable to take advantage of it while it lasts.

Would you say the same of app stores? I think there's a reasonable case to view Patreon as a platform, not a pure payment processor. Patreon is much more exposed to competition than the app stores, which are "protected" by th

NIST have updated their password advice but it's still not flowed through to other places like PCI, Australian ISM or tons of other standards. If you're setting an org-wide policy it should (at least in theory) comply with the int

Wouldn't a very accessible explanation for that correlation be that aspie-leaning men might tend to have children later in life? I should really go find the studies.

Yes and the rates will tend to be considerably different - you will actually see a risk premium in the longer terms, as you would expect. The fact that "cheap" 30 year fixed rate mortgages only exist in a few countries (US is only

30 year mortgages are a political guarantee to homeowners. They're don't really come from the lending industry - lenders could not and would not ever create this product on their own. They're a government subsidy to mortgagor

There are some interesting wrinkles to this kind of scenario though. For example, using password dumps it's pretty easy to find large numbers of account credentials which work to access email accounts (by stuffing u/p from breache

Most big places I've worked, there's an 80% use case where devs want to ship a jar file and have a db available. A central team usually provides a not-great but "ok" PaaS. All the external stuff (networking, sometimes c

I agree that banning automation generally reduces "abundance" and is generally "wrong" without good reason. On the other hand, I don't see demand for manual labour as wrong - as long as it's a free exchange and

Whats sort of funny about that to my mind is, the original authors were very likely innocent / oblivious in terms of alternative meanings and it's the (quote unquote) dirty minds of the PR/MR fix authors which make them a pro

Why not one week? Masks aren't perfect, and they don't make sense in every context but a plane IMHO is actually reasonable. Not every context is the same. I'm willing to acknowledge that the data is not great, but I think the

Re: the masks on planes. Assume a linear rate of virus particle shedding per breath and calculate the total viral load in the air of the plane over time, assuming the mask can catch a resonable proportion. The "pointless ceremony"

So what's China waiting for (have 4 million deaths been averted by zero covid, or have they been delayed?). Is it still 4 million or not anymore? I guess they are delayed and will be averted in future? Maybe there will be further tech

I agree and the strategy makes sense for China. Since it is now more or less endemic in the rest of the world it will be interesting to see how long they will maintain it. Ultimately zero covid is a thing you do to buy time for your healthc
