every organization is held back by the slowest adopter. If you advance too quickly compared to your colleges then you will likely leave because everyone else feels like they are trying to pull you back into their crap. Innovation is a depreciating asset. If you don't reward the people who make a quantum leap, they will leave, and all their progress will revert to the mean.
I bet someone made a security key because it was the right thing to do but they didn't have the controls in place to manage it in their build system and give another key to developers/engineers/etc. So someone else copied it for convivence rather than have to explain to every moron in the whole company how to use it to access the database or run their monolith tests or get access from the dude that no longer works there who was the "giver" of access keys.
Near the end of last year, I had to renew my passport that had expired. I had to travel and was in a sweet spot window where I couldn't renew it and get it in time and I couldn't just go to a passport office and get one.
I ended up having to drive to El Paso, which was the only passport office that was open in the entire United States! I had to wait until a few days before my flight. There were people from all over staying in a hotel waiting for their passport. They had standby flights to leave once they got it. I met people from California, Arizona, Michigan, New York, and Florida. It was totally ridiculous.
Last year wasn't exactly typical. (I haven't needed it but I was very glad I renewed my passport pre-pandemic given that it was nearly out of pages even though it had a few years left.)
And his verified fakes is just a way to introduce bugs because taken to the extreme you'd have to 100% recreate the 3rd party dependency you are interacting with.
You could have a currency where taxes are already built into the transfer system and the government is funded by those transfers.
Your argument is kind of like saying your paper filling system is as good as a database. With a database your don't have to be physically present like a paper filing system. With block chain you don't need permission to access the database, it is a new thing that enables more things that centralized systems used to control and rent seekers built walls around.
>a currency where taxes are already built into the transfer system
My income tax is automatically deducted from my paycheck, transfer taxes and VAT are automatically taken care of.
> With block chain you don't need permission to access the database
If we are talking about databases now instead of distributed ledgers (aka. cryptocurrencies), then yes I need a permission, because if I store business relevant data somewhere, I need a mechanism to ensure that only authorized parties can access it. This is doable in blockchain-based databases of course but it's much easier in a classic RDBMS or document-store (noSQL) system.
Again, these are solved problems, and "blockchain" provides no benefit over existing solutions, but impacts usability, efficiency, scalabitily and speed.
I looked into this a few weeks ago while exploring purchasing an electric car, and from what I could find "tow charging" was experimented with but has basically been given up on. The expectation is that if you lose power, you will need a flatbed truck to cart the car to a charging station.
> Charging efficiency isn't 100%, so you'd have to tow it further than the range you need
That's not how it works. You basically get 5 mpg or less on the truck, while the car charges at significantly higher rates than the speed of the truck (in mph), because the car is more efficient at using the energy.
Ah I think I was tripped up by the same thing as the top commenter. This sounds like it violates the law of conservation of energy.
The key here is that when towing (as opposed to going downhill) you can put much more energy into the motor generators per mile than is required to drive a mile. Due to charge/discharge losses, for your example this would have to be > 4x the amount. This obviously assumes the EV can regen at high sustained rates and you have a powerful tow vehicle.
So yes, you're right. The energy/distance argument should be one and the same.
It would be nice if there was an effort that pulled the public/prviate keys hidden in the binaries of apps like facebook/google and decrypted the traffic for inspection/blocking. Rewriting would be nice but everything seems to be certificate pinned now.
Can an app just use the CT logs? I'm a little out of my depth on this topic.
How does certificate pinning work on corporate networks where all of the clients have a certificate from the local root CA installed and a proxy server examines all encrypted traffic? Presumably that doesn’t break Facebook so maybe there is a loophole there.
Contrastive and triplet loss is pretty cool for generating hashes. I'd imagine the trick they are alluding to is a rewrite the loss function to be more aware of locality instead of trying to minimize/maximize distance.
Or they are just shingling different ML hash functions, which is kinda lazy.
The equity gain on single family is probably much more than the rents lost in the pandemic for most smaller cities. Small landlords might be hurting a bit but they are likely still ahead if they sell their single family property.
Most homes in my area have gained over 4 years of rent in value with the reduced interest rates.
Get a 3080ti or 3060 with 12gb of ram. If you want to experiment with very high memory models then pay for colab pro.
