The only physical keyboards I liked were the Danger Sidekick II and the Nokia 9000 both horizontal QWERTY. I was never a fan of the portrait layout of the Blackberry keyboards. I would love to see the Sidekick make a come-back provided the screen was not a touch screen or there was an easy way to disable touch. I rebooted a telco mainframe from a Nokia 9000. SYREI:rank=reload,reason="CV Updated" over telnet from the phone no less. Everyone around me stopped talking on their phone for 40 minutes.
To me the keyboards on iPhone and Android feel like they are from a different planet and made for garden gnome fingers but I did not grow up with these phones.
Those were nice. They were the very updated alternative to the Sidekick from Flextronics but still called a Sidekick from Motorola around 2006 or 2007 I think. I wanted one but they were recalled in my area because of some hardware bug so I was stuck with a flip phone.
I recently got a new battery for my N9000, still works fine other than the radio modem not having a cell to talk to anymore, now I just need to update the system.
I never daily drove a BlackBerry, but I have no idea how some people were so proficient typing on them. I was constantly smashing multiple keys with every press.
I am trying to think of a way in which BlackBerry keyboards can be considered to have a portrait layout. The only thing that disappointed me over the history of the BlackBerry was switching from the (morally correct) frowning key rows of the 957 and 7000 series to the (obviously evil) smiling rows of the 8000 and 9000 series.
Some of them do implement a stenographic watermark, but it's a continual game of cat and mouse. It would shock me if even SOTA watermarks persisted if you ran the image through a local model's img2img with a low denoise.
I think this is a good example of what CSS can do and probably was not easy to make but I will likely stick with Mahjong that comes with most Linux distributions as they follow rules that people I may end up playing against would know and they have many layouts. I could see this being applied to other things however such as games that require building or repairing something. Or something similar to Minecraft?
Do presidents have less fiduciary responsibility than CEOs?
Yes. Presidents and CEO's are entirely different roles and have entirely different legal obligations. CEO's and CFO's have significantly more fiduciary responsibilities to investors, shareholders and board members. The president of the USA has responsibilities to uphold the constitution, act as the commander and chief to the military, faithfully execute the laws among a myriad of other executive tasks.
So they can intentionally bankrupt the country without consequence?
Not a lawyer but if you mean legal consequence while acting as a sitting president that depends on if they are successfully impeached after which point legal actions can be taken. or after their term expires ... An example would be President Clinton was successfully impeached before action could be taken for his lying under oath and obstruction of justice.
In terms of a CEO or CFO one would expect or hope board members would remove them long before the criminal justice system has to step in otherwise the board members could also be indicted if it could be shown they had knowledge of malfeasance, ineptitude or corruption.
My understanding is also that impeachment for "Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" does not preclude the state or the states from criminally prosecuting for the same offense. There is double jeopardy for impeachable offenses that are also criminal offenses.
Where is our moral outrage at Trump with Miss Daniels while his wife was at home with the baby? Where is our moral outrage at them employing a tabloid to keep that in our faces?
Recently I learned that Mr Epstein was well acquainted with Ken Starr, prosecutor of Clinton for lying about non-duty-related infidelity.
Isn't there an interview with one of them about how Epstein and Trump have this need to "cuck", shame, and otherwise sexually humiliate others?
(While infidelity is technically still a crime per UCMJ for persons who have signed a UCMJ contract, my understanding is that infidelity is very rarely prosecuted.)
Clinton was impeached for perjury about infidelity, but not for perjury about not inhaling.
Trump hasn't yet been impeached for lying to the public about when he ended his relationship with Mr Epstein, but he was not under oath at that time?
Aren't there a number of available prosecutors for congressional impeachment given the turnover and resignations at DOJ of late? Congress should hire former prosecutors in order to become adequate at impeachment.
Apparently it's practically impossible to prove quid pro quo. But then why would they have specifically cited Bribery as an impeachable offense in the Constitution?
People sell burgundy "Make Lying Wrong Again" hats that contrast with political "Make America Pray Again" hats and executive seal bibles.
> The Bible translation was intended to be the New International Version,[13] but Zondervan, the division of HarperCollins which owns the rights to the New International Version, withheld them after multiple public complaints, and the King James Version was used instead, as it is in the public domain in the United States

AFAIK the president is not subject to the UCMJ despite being the command and chief otherwise there are many actions by many presidents I am certain would have them in front of a military tribunal. A sitting president can not be court-martialed. As a side note I knew a few people that were caught cheating when I was in the military and their lives were turned upside down by the Chief Master Sergeant.

One of those is really hard to prove unless tested immediately afterwords. On the other hand ejaculate on a dress allows for genetic testing. All recent presidents DNA are on file.
It turns out that orders are nullifiable in cases of usurpation, but what about fraudulent use of likeness by one's own kids on bibles and beer pong sets, for example.
>So they can intentionally bankrupt the country without consequence?
Yes. Presidents can commit sedition and attempt to overturn elections without consequence. They can interfere with the prosecution of international pedophile rings without consequence. They can commit tax fraud by the billions without consequence. They can commit war crimes without consequence. Of course they can bankrupt the country without consequence. Americans don't hold their Presidents to account, and the Supreme Court made it illegal to prosecute a President for anything they do in office. Nixon was right when he said nothing a President does is illegal, and Trump was right when he said he could shoot someone in broad daylight and get away with it.
Be careful they might like your idea. It might not be long before researchers are expected to have a short trendy TikTok like video as their papers synopsis. Those with the most witty and entertaining videos get the most funding.
Along this line can AI's find backdoors spread across multiple pieces of code and/or services? i.e. by themselves they are not back-doors, advanced penetration testers would not suspect anything is afoot but when used together they provide access.
e.g. an intentional weakness in systemd + udev + binfmt magic when used together == authentication and mandatory access control bypass. Each weakness reviewed individually just looks like benign sub-optimal code.
Another way to phrase what I am asking is ... Does AI understand the context of code deep enough to know everything a piece of code can do, everything a service can do vs. what it was intended to do. If it can understand code that far then it could understand all the potential paths data could flow and thus all the potential vulnerabilities that several piece of code together could achieve when used in concert with one another. Advanced multi-tier chess so to speak.
Or put another way, each of these three through three hundred applications or services by themselves may be intended to perform x,y,z functions but when put together by happy coincidence they can perform these fifty-million other unintended functions including but not limited to bypassing authentication, bypassing mandatory access controls, avoiding logging and auditing, etc... oh and it can automate washing your dishes, too.
Fair enough. I suspect when they reach such a point that length no longer matters then a plethora of old and currently used state sponsored complex malware will be realized. Beyond that I think the next step would be to attain attribution to both individuals and perhaps whom they were really employed by. Bonus if the model can rewrite sanitize each piece of code to remove the malicious capabilities without breaking the officially intended functions.
Old tech could work around these outages. Set up GSLB at a DNS provider that does health checks or perform your own health checks to both origin and CDN's and use API's to change DNS. If the origin servers are OK and the CDN is not, automatically change DNS to a different CDN. There should be multiple probes that form a consensus. This process assumes one is managing the configurations of their CDN's through code and API so that one can set up and tear down any number of CDN's on a whim.
That does mean having contracts with more than one CDN provider however the cost should be negotiated based on monthly volume. i.e. the CDN with the most uptime gets the most money. If an existing CDN under contract refuses to negotiate then move some non critical path services to them and let that contract expire. Instate a company wide policy to never return to a vendor if their contract was intentionally not renewed.
I do not install apps on my phone regardless if whatever that means and I do not browse from my phone. It might be time to just make a git repo of all the sites that participate in this weird fascistic behavior and block them in uBlock until the governments stand up and say pop i.e. pull their head out of their ass. Anything other than RTA [1] headers is a non starter for me.
The only thing governments should be doing is legislating that apps commonly used by small children be required to look for the RTA header and trigger parental controls if the device owner enabled them. That's it. Not perfect, nothing is or will be but it's more than we have now, does not leak PII and utilizes existing laws that already apply to parents.
A spammer would agree. Trolls most certainly agree. If I was to add the function to comment it would use local storage. [1] not my repo
If I wanted interaction from visitors I would make one of my forums public. They would at least have to register and they would be subject to normal moderation. As a new member only I would see their comments until their rank moves up from Guest, thus weeding out most low effort trolls and grifters.
If I really wanted to hear from random visitors of a blog I would give them a throw-away email address or a form to contact me.
