So the article repeats, several times, “waymo relies on remote operators”. I don’t think the author knows what “self-driving” means.

Possible? Yes. Likely? Not at all.
To perform a zero knowledge proof, you’d have to have structured data to support the claim, which most whistleblowers would not have. If a whistleblower already had the hard evidence in hand, e.g., serial numbers and timestamps, they could have just provided those anonymously, and someone could follow up. The problem is, you can’t always get a copy of the hard evidence without revealing your intent to the employer, or at least, other employees.
Presumably most whistleblowers are making unsubstantiated claims that something happened, or maybe with light evidence. Based on who they are, a journalist or investigator may then elect to follow up and dig up the hard evidence to support the claim. This requires revealing your name and position/relationship to at least one person. Rarely, they would be willing to put themselves out there to provide an affidavit under oath, which itself is not enough to pursue criminal charges (though it could help build a case around intent or willful neglect, or help support a warrant or discovery).
It’s illegal, but not unheard of, to try to force journalists to reveal their sources, but the same protections are not universally in place if you reported a finding to a company’s internal affairs, for example. But unlike attorney-client privilege, or shield law protections, the risk in signing an affidavit is, as we’ve seen in recent US trials, that records will not stay sealed, and your name will be revealed to the defense and/or public.

The Model S Plaid, MG, Rimac Niverra, etc are increasingly limited by regulations more than anything. Quite literally, they are at the limits of rolling friction for street legal tires, which is why you’re not seeing a lot of variance at the top of the market.

For encryption, the client and server need to share their private keys.
This is incorrect, for asymmetric (public-private) encryption. You never, ever share the private key, hence the name.
The private key is only used on your system for local decryption (someone sent a message encrypted with your public key) or for digital signature (you sign a document with your private key, which can be validated by anyone with your public key).
For the server, they are signing their handshake request with a certificate issued by a known certificate authority (aka, CA, a trusted third party). This prevents a man-in-the-middle attack, as long as you trust the CA.
The current gap is in inconsistent implementation of Organization Validation/Extended Validation (OV/EV), where an issuer will first validate that domains are legitimate for a registered business. This is to help prevent phishing domains, who will be operating with TLS, but on a near-name match domain (www.app1e.com or www.apple.zip instead of www.apple.com). Even this isn’t perfect, as business names are typically only unique within the country/province/state that issues the business license, or needed to be enforced by trademark, so at the end of the day, you still need to put some trust in the CA.

When are you adding the bok choy to your stir fry? I’d wager you’re over cooking it; try adding it much later to the cooking process. It should only take a minute or two at most to cook.
The greens are also quite bitter, so possibly don’t use all of the leaf.

What’s worrying about this report is that it’s coming from Google itself.
Google just bought Mandiant, one of the leading cybersecurity and threat intelligence firms. Therefore, Google is one of the leading cybersecurity and threat intelligence firms.
It’s now expected that Google would release this kind of report, seeing as they sell this as an enterprise service.
Mandiant has previously released this type of report regularly; for instance, they were the firm that disclosed the SolarWinds hack.

Probably a good change. Most legitimate bulk email messaging probably goes through a third party service already in your SPF record; surveymonkey, listserv, etc.

For your last two questions, the counterpoint is, if even Microsoft can’t stop a dedicated nation state, how can any other major service provider say they haven’t been compromised?
The standard now is, assume breach. While unfortunate, the industry average for MTTD is in months. Microsoft was at least good enough to detect it within six.
Can Broadcom or Palo Alto say the same? Amazon, Google, Apple, Cisco?

Agreed, the echo chamber is real on Reddit/Lemmy. Easy to hate on Elon, but people are acting as if the old men leading most other Fortune 100 companies think any differently than he does. You can find the rare exception, but you’ll have a hard time living in modern society without your money filtering up to a bigot somewhere.
Elon just lacks the filter to keep himself from saying it.

Don’t bother with the cert if it’s not your job, but at least look into CCNA Routing and Switching. There are tons of courses available, both in person and online, as well as numerous YouTube videos on the subject.
See if your local library or community college has an adult education center that provides a course. At some point, you will need to learn subnetting, which is just math, but practice makes perfect, and your life is easier if you have it committed to memory.
Proper written work is still one of the most effective ways to do this.

Why do you think they all opposed right to repair?
And specifically, right to open repair? They’ll happily send you a $600 TPM-locked biometric sensor, because they would control the market and ROI, but won’t let you buy a $90 alternative from someone else.

While true, it’s pretty asinine to hold companies operating in China accountable for complying with Chinese law. It sucks, but they aren’t just going to abandon the Chinese ~cash cow~ market.

Frankly, surprised it was only that much of a drop.
Earlier this week, Reddit disclosed in a corporate filing that CEO Steve Hoffman sold 500,000 shares, and Reddit COO Jennifer Wong also disclosed that she sold 514,000 shares.
No, not a pump and dump at all! Totally confident in our ability to execute our fiduciary duties!

The games in progress I mark as favorites, I have “Finished” and “Play Next” categories, and I have a big dump category called “Won’t Play”.
Aside from that, I have some big categories for collections of old games from humble bundles and steam sales, like legacy Myst, Wizardry, or Sierra games, or like Star Wars game collections.

antitrust law does not regard as illegal the mere possession of monopoly power where it is the product of superior skill, foresight, or industry
United States v. Grinnell Corp. (1966).
A market share of ninety percent "is enough to constitute a monopoly; it is doubtful whether sixty or sixty-four percent would be enough; and certainly thirty-three per cent is not.

The 7800XT (263W) has over 100W higher TDP than the 2060 (160W). It ultimately comes down to what other components you have, but you will be pushing the ceiling on a 650W PSU with the 5800X (105W).
You are under the limit based on TDP, but during peak loads, may not have enough overhead to not reduce the life of your components. That said, if you have fewer than 4 DIMMs of RAM, and only M.2 SSD storage, you are probably fine.
Let’s round up and say 75W for Mobo, 32W for RAM, 10W for storage, and 5W for LEDs, you come out right at 500W. Add 20% for thermal overhead, and you’ve got 600W. Very close, but should barely be stable.
This assumes a reference GPU. An OC edition could easily blow this calculation, but do your own math.
Definitively, buy a kill-o-watt, fire up a CPU+GPU stress test, and measure power draw at the wall. Add 100-200W to account for the new card, and see if it exceeds 650W.

Who cares if the code is open source, or pre-training weights are released? Virtually every Masters in CS student in 2024 is building this from scratch. The differentiator is the training dataset, or at worst, the weights after fine tuning the model.

Which is a trade violation for WTO members.
Curious to hear more about this. Are you saying subsidized products cannot be sold on the international market? Wouldn’t creative accounting solve this, e.g., buy saying that the subsidized portion is only available domestically, which reduces demand globally, thus lowering prices?

How diverse is your investment portfolio? How many different stocks and securities have you sold last year? Were these subject to short term or long term capital gains? Did you rebuy any of those, making the security subject to the wash rule?
If you have a family, a house, multiple W-2s, 1099s, a retirement account, and a 529, things are still pretty “simple”. TurboTax does not let you use their free file if you’ve traded stocks, but for most other products, even some low volume trading in a brokerage account is considered fairly standard.
At the end of the day, it comes down to how organized you are, and how much time it will take you to do data entry. Usually, your tax documents have clear headers, and usually, these match up to the fields in the tax application. But not always, and the more documents you have, the more hours it will take, and the more likely you are to run into a speed bump that will cause frustration.
So, how much is your time worth to you? If it’s worth more to you than the cost of a tax professional, it’s an easy decision.

Reddit is not a “big corporation”.
How big is big? They’re working on a 6.5 billion dollar valuation. Sure, that’s not S&P 500, but that’s not your mom and pop coffee shop.

For what country?
In the US, at least, the long term average is 3.10%, including the post-1913 Great Depression and the Oil Crisis/Great Inflation of the 1970s. From 1990-2020, the average has been 2.2%, just slightly worse than the stated goal of current US economic policy, which is to maintain long term inflation at a rate of 2%.
Meaning, 3% beats inflation significantly more than half of the time, especially since 1990.

Not cheaper. More likely there is budget available for National Guard resources and things like anti-terror, disaster relief, etc., as opposed to next to nothing for infrastructure improvements and staffing.
