AFAIK if you spend at least 2 years studying here you automatically qualify for a 3 year work permit. I think rolling that into permanent residency is a lot easier than just applying for a work visa or PR out of the gate

International student tuition is way more expensive here in Canada than it is for citizens, but I’m not sure how it stacks up against normal US tuition.

Grain of salt, everything I’ve said is based on anecdotes from people I know who went through it

Or if you are on a Boeing plane and a side panel/door spontaneously flies off off you don’t get sucked out

/s, but not really /s

Abolishing the monarchy would involve rewriting the constitution - if that was happening every province would want to slip in their own terms - Quebec would want specific French language rights and autonomy and if Quebec got their way Alberta would want something similar. We successfully altered the constitution back in 1982 - it took 2 years and the country almost blew up over it.

Basically it would be a total shit show. Considering the impact the monarchy has on our day to day life (basically zero) it’s easier to just let sleeping dogs lie

Murica.

This was literally the overarching plot for the last season of curb

It’s really not that complicated. At a high level:

• $5/mo for having the service turned on
• $5/mo for every TB storage above and beyond the first 1TB
• $1 for every TB of data transfer beyond the first 1TB in a month

And then divide those numbers because it’s actually billed by the hour

That assumes that an adversary has control of the browser

No it doesn’t, if they intercept an encrypted password over HTTPS they can resend the request from their own browser to get access to your account

The big reason you don’t want to send passwords over https is that some organizations have custom certs setup

What is the problem with that? The password is secure and only shared between you and the site you are intending to communicate with. Even if you sent an encrypted password, they wrote the client side code used to generate it, so they can revert it back to its plaintext state server side anyways

It is better to just not send the password at all.

How would you verify it then?

If not sending plaintext passwords was best practice then why do no sites follow this? You are literally posting to a site (Lemmy) that sends plaintext passwords in its request bodies to log-in

Client side verification is just security by obscurity, which gains you very little.

If someone is capable of MITM attacking a user and fetching a password mid-transit to the server over HTTPS, they are surely capable of popping open devtools and reverse engineering your cryptographic code to either a) uncover the original password, or b) just using the encrypted credentials directly to authenticate with your server without ever having known the password in the first place

The word ‘decipher’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting. I’m wondering if they socially engineered or just found it written somewhere in the house?

You can plausibly brute force up to 4, maybe 5 words of a seed phrase. It takes longer than a normal password because every seed phrase is technically valid, so the only way to know if your brute force is successful is to generate thousands of addresses at each of the different derivation paths you may expect funds to exist at.

The same seed phrase is used for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, etc, but each currency uses the seed phrase to generate addresses in a slightly different standard. Additionally, each wallet uses a slightly different variation of that. Within each wallet is a notion of accounts, and within each account you could have dozens of addresses. You need to generate each of those addresses, and scan each cryptocurrencies blockchain to see if those addresses have ever been used.

Realistically one of three things happened: his seed phrase was written down and they found it, it was password protected or on a drive with weak AES encryption and they cracked THAT instead, or finally, he used a hardware wallet and they exploited a firmware vulnerability to lift the PIN and transfer out funds and/or read the seed from the device

You are acting like someone checked off a “log passwords” box, as if that’s a thing that even exists

Someone configured a logger to write HTTP bodies and headers, not realizing they needed to build a custom handler to iterate through every body and header anonymizing any fields that may plausibly contain sensitive information. It’s something that literally every dev has done at some point before they knew better.

Does Google Cloud not count as “own hardware” for google?

That’s why the bars are so different. The “cloud” price is MSRP

That’s not really machine learning though. If you wanted to go way back, AI research goes back to implementations of hebbian learning in computer science back in the 1950s as a way of emulating human neurons. I was merely pointing out that AI was a computer science “dead end” until restricted Boltzmann machines were revisited by Hinton et al back in 2008 or so, and that 99% of the growth in the field has happened since the early 2010s when we reached a turning point where deep learning models could actually outperform classical statistical models like regression and random forests

in the coming decades

Given that in the past 15 years we went from “solving regression problems a little bit better than linear models some of the time” to what we have now, it’s not unfounded to think 15 years from now people could be giving LLMs access to code execution environments

Pagers operate at a lower broadcast frequency than cell phones. Longer wavelengths (low frequency) are less impeded by walls and interference.

This is only true for steam keys sold on other platforms afaik

What (widely popular) race could possibly be a better metric of endurance than the marathon?

Yes but if it’s first instinct is “go left” on 1-2, it’s pretty apparent the reward function could use some tuning

COVID has long lasting effects across your entire body, it impacts your immune and cardiovascular systems for years after you get it.

Risks of heart attack, stroke, etc are increased 2.5x in the year after infection, increasing exponentially with the number of times you have been infected. In fact, the risk of pretty much ANY health problem skyrockets following a COVID infection.

Yes, but if someone trips over the cord there is a 50% chance the wrong side comes unplugged and potentially kills them, hence why they don’t make these cords

You gotta donate to planned parenthood for every dollar spent there. It’s like buying carbon offsets, but for sandwiches. /s
