Why should the interviewee assume that?

This could very well be a test to see if the applicant has an idea of how a project scales or how they need to interact with other departments or track down compliance information. It could also test the applicant’s ability to provide a sanity check to a boss’s idea before they pitch something that the team can’t actually do

Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.

Ironically, there’s no easy way to block ads on a modern Apple device. You know, Google’s competition?

The usurper delivered us from the evil that was cable or nothing.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become the enemy. The cycle must repeat

Relevant bits of the story with some sections cut out:

“But in an email to this newspaper, National Defence stated “the word ‘alleged’ is standard practice to reference cases subject to investigation. It is not intended to diminish anyone’s agency or experiences.”

Adams pointed out that police and CFMWS records clearly undercut Bourgon’s claim the attack was only an allegation. In addition, Adams noted the National Defence statement was not correct since there was no ongoing investigation into her case.

However, Canadian military police did create a “shadow file” on Jan. 3, 2023, with details of the incident. (A shadow file is a Canadian Forces document about an issue the military has an interest in, but not direct control over.) Those details and that report do not dispute Adams’ version of events, and police termed the incident a sexual assault.”

Seems like nobody really investigated the instance outside of creating a report.

This seems simple for one stream, but scale that up to how many unique streams that Youtube is servicing at any given second. 10k?

Google doesn’t own all of the hardware involved in this video serving process. They push videos to their local CDNs, which then push the videos to the end users. If we’re configuring streams on the fly with advertisements, we need to push the ads to the CDNs pushing out the content. They may already be collocated, but they may not. We need to factor in additional processing which costs time and money.

I can see this becoming an extremely ugly problem when you’re working with a decentralized service model like Youtube. Nothing is ever easy since they don’t own everything.

Thankfully it seems that encoding ads into the video stream is still too expensive for them to implement.

I’m assuming that asking CDNs to combine individualized ads with content and push the unique streams to hosts does not scale well.

There’s no world police, so unless other countries dispute China’s claims and back them up with some sort of weight, the region is theirs by default.

They are incompatible thoughts. Peacetime posturing and wartime posturing involve completely different priorities and lines of effort for governments.

Wartime governments need to prioritize their war efforts. Peacetime governments do not - while there may be some light overlap for creation and maintenance of a self defense military force, individual liberties are not restricted, economic efforts are not diverted to replenish critical resources, and industrial outputs are not shifted to materiel production. Posturing for war places extreme stress on a nations ability to participate in global commerce and academia.

We must remember that Russia and China do not differentiate between peace and war

The hostile intentions and actions of our adversaries show that they consider themselves to be at war with the West

I don’t think that words have consistent meanings coming from this guy. If their adversaries (China) show that they consider themselves to be at war, then they also consider themselves to be at peace?

Can you imagine the total cost for home ownership in a 47 year mortgage?

30 year mortgages around 3% were something like 175% of the loan price. Even that seems crazy

This is insanity

Buffer overflow is dead. Long live buffer overflow

I’ll drink the half-full glass: accessible gaming hardware is more widely available than it has ever been.

Big corporation Microsoft bad, but as the article points out, they have been one of the major players in the accessibility field with hardware and software accommodations to help meet some of the common needs of disabled gamers. Valve’s platform allows for dynamic reprogramming of just about any key binding that I can think of to get around games that have their inputs hard coded in.

There’s exactly two positives to this system:

1- theft risk/reward is crushed. It’s simply no longer feasible for stolen iPhones to be parted out if the valuable bits don’t simply work. Sure, dumb and non networked components like frames and glass can probably be salvaged, but when even batteries are involved in the handshake process, you lose out on the ability to sell anything of value.

2- positive supply-chain validation. Not important for the majority of people, but for those who require a little more security, they can be a little more sure that their device isn’t compromised from illegitimate parts. I imagine this to be a fringe benefit for executives and the like. I know at one point government officials had access to some “special” variants of iPhones which were more locked down, but specifics are difficult to come by.

For everybody else, this plain sucks. We move farther and farther into not even owning the physical things in our possession.

Article is light on specifics. This may be related to a teacher who sore prosthetic breasts under a tight shirt a little while ago. It also might not. Who knows?
