Back then you could send an email “from” any address without verification, and I’d bet they weren’t sophisticated enough to detect that. There were many open and/or hacked SMTP gateways. I went to a federal military school and showed people how to do this on our own .mil servers. This would be deadly serious today, but email was 95% jokes and flame wars anyway, so it just made things more hilarious. Even Stanford CS’s SMTP in the 2010s allowed unauthenticated “from” addresses, and someone was using it to impersonate the Google founder emails for promoting and funding their startup.

The meme commands me to obey:

Terry Tao once famously published a result with non-mathematicians Denton et al., and was bombarded by responses (including my own first math paper) showing the result previously published in many different ways in several fields of math. Of all that Tao has accomplished as a Fields medalist and espoused “greatest living mathematician”, this became the most famous single moment of his career.

This sounds like old information. Things have been declassified since then.

Correction: it was a 3/4 multisig and it took 3 signatures to switch over to single-key. Who had those keys? No idea. Their white paper says nothing about key management, just a bunch of nonsense pseudo-notation about blockchain basics.

That’s right, and then they fork in such a way as to return to themselves more than they put in (because later theDao shares were sold at 100x, and they refunded equally).

The contract is designed to execute arbitrary transactions with a valid signature.

Hacker/insider got the private key. Simple as that.

What I’m saying is that bone conduction, including tight seals of earbuds, or even use of earplugs in certain environments (roadies etc), might actually be far worse than the sound coming into the ear canal by air conduction. This seems to be my experience.

I really liked the Airpod Pros until I started to associate their use with worsening tinnitus. Now I'm trying big headphones with no ANC. But I definitely don't have any solutions.

This is just conjecture, but I think tinnitus is caused by vibration of the inner ear that doesn't come from the eardrum. The inner ear is designed to be resonant for audio frequencies, and the earplugs contain them, maybe too much. Just N=1 longitudinal study involving an early stage career and now way too much podcast listening. Covering tinnitus doesn't make it better. Covering the 'noise' is futile. The best you can do is try not to make it worse. You'll never get relief. But you can achieve surrender.

Got massively worse after a few days of use for me. I also used them with earplugs because I didn't understand tinnitus.

This can mean many things. Examples: - we don’t know what we’re doing yet - we’ll be overworking you - our funding is getting cut off - we’re irrelevant to the corporation - we have an open office - we fire quickly - we wish we didn’t work here

Most coders I see give up on asking clarifying questions because they realize quickly that the answers aren’t there, and they never will be, and this is somehow okay to the person who is telling them what to do.

It’s really obvious during remote work: PowerPoint then silence, then a bunch of assignments handed out. If you ask any one of the audience, coder to coder, they all have the same confusions; some write a fancy class template like ‘ProblemSolverObjectDispatchFactory’, others just ignore.

That’s different. Rendering happens entirely on the GPU, so the only data transfer is a one-way DMA stream containing scene primitives and instructions.

This is specifically about privacy, which relates to targeting and tracking, not all ads. Most user data is completely useless to advertisers, but there is a mania for it right now. Perhaps it will end when ML people from CS backgrounds learn Bonferroni.
