I do have a spare iPhone in a drawer, still works and can message on iMessage. There, I have purchased Apple hardware, now can I use iMessage on my Android phone?
For the same reason that if you buy a game for xbox, and then when you later buy a playstation you can't turn around and demand that MS port the various xbox services to the playstation, or a publisher port an xbox game to playstation.
Maybe I am behind but isn't ChatGPT a great option for an automod which can read reviews and determine whether or not they should remain up? I tried it on a few examples with a simple prompt and it gave great reasoning why the nasty reviews I fed it should be removed.
Yeah it really wasn't so far off now. Most of the people I knew had a cell phone (I had gotten it in '99) so there was definitely communication possible anywhere for the most part. In 2002 I was in a student apartment with decent wired internet, a Nokia cell phone (no texting plan), and was in touch with many people via AIM.
The mid 90's is probably more the time to blow the current generation's mind because that's when many households didn't have internet and virtually nobody under 18 had a cell phone.
Yeah. I'd put the date about ten years earlier. You're pre-Web. You may have a cell phone (as an adult) but you probably don't carry it around with you all the time. You may well have a home computer but any dial-up connection is probably a BBS (commercial or otherwise) rather than internet. You probably have email and most of your friends probably do as well.
Early 90s is probably when things start to look fairly alien from a technology and communications perspective. There are probably a lot of hints about what's coming but they're mostly not really realized and certainly not mainstream.
I had a StarTAC but nobody I knew had a cellphone but calling their home wasn't all that fun you'd probably get "why are you calling me?".
I liked a cute girl who worked in a bar. So I set my Windows computer to delay sending a fax but I picked my phone. I knew when I'd be at the bar and I got a call and answered it to EEeeeeeeeeeeee pretending I was Mr. Important. She didn't fall for it. lmao
But there are choices, sometimes you're not conscious of the effect of your choice but it was made nonetheless.
For your supermarket example, instead of going there you could go to a local farmer's market for those vegetables. It might cost more, but most expect higher quality there than at the supermarket. So there is another "market" option, you shouldn't just expect all your "market" options to be placed in convenient aisles at the grocery store.
If you live in the city and have to drive over an hour to get to a farmer's market, well that was also a choice you made. Perhaps you didn't make that choice because you wanted to be away from locally grown produce, but the supermarket being your only option is a consequence of that choice.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, just trying to point out that much of the choices we make will reduce the other choices we have and we should be conscious of the ones that drive us to become mindless consumers and remove other options from us in the market.
> be conscious of the ones that drive us to become mindless consumers
and remove other options from us in the market.
Nicely put. I see that sort of "choice affecting choices" you describe
leveraged/manipulated a lot in tech, to "funnel" people into worlds
with ever smaller horizons. Every product has an inbuilt con or trick
that seems out to get you. It's essence is anti-choice masquerading
as forms of economic freedom.
How to remain conscious of that? It's tiring. Like being in a jungle
surrounded by predators.
What a garbage hit piece, this comment said it well:
>Hey bud next time talk to engineers and architects before writing on a subject. Research the subject and subject area. Or at the top just note that this article is an unresearched, uninformed opinion post. A bit of Google-fu would save some face.
LTT did a video review and there was a very simplified right click context menu that you could click "more options" and it returned to the Windows 10 style menu. That will be extremely painful to use if that is not customizable.
Well if you're stipulating starting positions, the fastest possible would be if the 7 and 10 minute men are on one side, and the 1 and 2 minute men are on the other. Each pair would only have to cross once, passing the torch while they are all on the same side. 10 minutes + 2 minutes for 12 minutes total.
Hashing a hash is not generally considered secure because you have to assume that if your system was compromised, the hackers will know what methods you used, including the list of salts. If the hash runs quickly then you didn't really cause them any more time/work.
Assuming "several iterations" means "a million or more iterations" then you have captured most of what bcrypt gets you. You've broken their rainbow tables and they have to brute-force to find users using "passw0rd". You can tune the "several iterations" the same way you can tune bcrypt.
That said, don't roll your own. You probably screwed it up somewhere. Just use the bcrypt library call. Or scrypt to let you roll +2 against GPU attacks.
