How does this square with FOIA obligations? I get ICE sidestepping transparency by avoiding creating the responsive footage in the first place, but once the body cam footage exists…

That's going to be on the $20 plan. IIRC the $100 and $200 plans keep the 50% fable usage.

You need at least twice the frequency range for sample rate in order to represent the original signal. That's slightly misleading though, that's from the Nyquist-Shannon sampling t…

That's a halted firewall setup. Normally as part of shutdown you would tear down networking in SysVinit or systemd but you don't actually have to do that. When shutting down you ca…

Like when Runescape allowed you to purchase membership via a premium rate number. Lots of fraud going on back when that was a thing and a big part of why it's no longer a thing.

There are some typos like "if" instead of "of" that seem to imply at the very least, some of it is verbatim written by a person. Given the subject matter, I'd be extremely surprise…

A bootable container, kernel included, is not a container. Building a whole new OS image for patches isn't a bad idea, but depending on the workload this might be a non-starter. At…

Thorium isn't fissile, it's fertile. All thorium reactors work by breeding that thorium into uranium.

While DAOS looks cool, from their roadmap it looks like they still don't have a fault domain larger than a server... Their erasure coding profiles also look pretty thin. I'm ex-Met…

You can shrink XFS, but only the realtime volume. All you need is xfs_db and a steady hand. I once had to pull this off for a shortened test program for a new server platform at Me…

>Tectonic some KV store, Tectonic is built on ZippyDB which is a distributed DB built on RocksDB. >What's important here with S3FS is that it supports (1) a fuse client - it just m…

If you already know the checksum for some huge chunk of the message then you don't need to recompute it to append some data and get a new checksum (at least for CRC). On the read s…

Wifi would probably be the easiest. Either hide a dummy AP in the house or use a combination of multiple neighbors APs. If you don't see any beacon frames from the dummy SSID for a…

The data in that graph is just complete misinformation. https://engineering.fb.com/2024/03/12/data-center-engineerin...

For some trivial client side filtering that still makes it e2e encrypted.

iMessage is not on the same playing field as Whatsapp and Signal. Apple has full control over key distribution and virtually no one verifies Apple isn't acting as a MitM. Whatsapp …

Are you talking about Brian Steel? He was held in contempt because he refused to name his source that informed him of some misconduct by the judge (ex parte communication with a wi…

That in particular would fall under the crime-fraud exception so there's no attorney client privilege.

Made it door to door in 4h20m. Clearly the original person was taking the scenic route.

I'm literally going from a house in Seattle to an office in SF right now. I left 48 minutes ago, I'll update when I arrive and I'll personally add a data point here lol.

Right, but the comment I was replying to was in response to this: > 2 will tell you if they diverge, but you lose both if they do. 3 let's you retain 2 in operation if one does div…

>A seasoned kernel developer I think you should take another look at the author list. Chris Mason counts as a seasoned kernel developer in my book. Either way I think you're missin…

>wouldn't that classify as broken hardware requiring device change? Yes but you need to catch it first to know what to take out of production. >That might be difficult if CPU is br…

Disclaimer: I work at Meta and I know a couple of the authors of the paper but my work is completely unrelated to the subject of the paper. That's not a technical error, they mean …

But if it's a consistent fault, like the silent data corruption covered in the linked paper, redoing the computation is still going to end up with no way to identify which core is …
