The phone number auth is hilarious, this bbs doesn't have A phone number, this bbs has YOUR phone number!

I think that and the previous issue go hand in hand, contributing to each other:

> Unfortunately, C++ Libraries are often not designed for interoperability with other libraries

And I think it's not just that the libraries don't work well with each other, but they also only work with a subset of C++ projects since any given group of collaborating C++ programmers seems to settle on their own subset of the language to allow in their coding standards. Perhaps I am falling into the trap of thinking about old C++ now -- modern C++ does seem to have more of a broadly understood idiomatic style.
A world dominated by the dogma of the fundamental materialists is quite scary indeed. Geniuses such as Ramanujan would never see their gifts blossom.

``...and claimed to dream of blood drops that symbolised her male consort, Narasimha, after which he would receive visions of scrolls of complex mathematical content unfolding before his eyes. He often said, "An equation for me has no meaning, unless it represents a thought of God."

The song is awesome, but the clip is cringy as can be.

From the awkward dancing, nonsensical acrobating and sunglassing to Rick himself. Even though the song's got a good beat, he can't seem to move to it no matter how hard the editor tries to cut or how cool he tries to look. And I'm always surprised by such a deep voice coming from such a skimpy guy, which contributes to the joke.
> odd bedroom to bath ratio though

This is a house for entertaining. The ratio makes sense.
Alternatively, the middle class can always exist if you decide to lower the threshold until it fits your quota. A gap of between 30% to 100% of the minimum for the higher threshold seems large enough when defining a "middle".
UGC is what keeps yahoo alive. It's definitely not the journalism.
I mean, is it really any worse than Quora? I will miss it.
The National Labor Relations Board has no teeth at all.

The NLRB does not have the authority to impose any penalties or punitive damages on the employer, Amazon, but it can order Amazon to cease and desist from the unfair labor practices and to take affirmative action to remedy the violation. It can also require back pay and reinstatement for those two employees who have been wrongfully terminated. And that's all it has the power to do.

This ruling does not mean much at all to the world's richest company.
Looking at the VGGish paper itself, I see they use spectrograms as inputs, they show results where they can identify instrument types. I'm not too sure how specific embeddings from these models can be. Do we know if spectrograms can differentiate between two people's voice?
> if their behavior is regulated

That's twisting the facts a bit though, no? They can always turn off the app if they don't want to take jobs, or work for Lyft or Doordash or whatever; that's always been the case. The problem here is that a specific level of information symmetry causes a self-destructive collective behavior.

This is akin to a hypothetical scenario where plumbers somehow get hold of some magic technology that ranks jobs by pay and then proceed to only accept the most profitable ones, eventually leading to a situation where people can't get plumbers and the entire town ends up becoming youtube-watching DYIers, making plumbing an non-viable trade in the town.
The problem is this: if you ask a doctor, they will tell you "of course you shouldn't be deficient; get tested and supplement if necessary".

But lots of people are deficient because of modern lifestyles and won't bother with the test. So the better advice is that most people should supplement based on a few simple criteria.

Why aren't public health officials saying that? It's ridiculous to go through a pandemic with the same old useless advice. And if you push vitamin D, now you're a conspiracy theorist.

Just take vitamin D in reasonable and get tested occasionally. Stop if you are on the high side.
> Clubhouse will take nothing.

Interesting choice. It would have been easy to add an extra 1-5% on top of each payment.
In my world, we keep a running total of the rounded prorated amounts, and then the last item (n) becomes (total - total up to n-1) to make sure amounts match. It can still be a problem if the last value is very small however.
It should be the same. count(*) only needs to return the number of columns (regardless of its value), so it can use only indexes, while count(column) must only count non-null values. But since the primary is non-null, it should end up taking the same time.
WeChat has been extremely successful by virtue of being the only app the government allows you to use in a country of a billion people.
I always go C++, because it offers the type safety that is impossible with bare bones C.
The next paragraph:

> There are many ways this happens; some of them are not even aware that they do it, they are just instinctive hustler that oversell their own skills. Usually you see them: two years of experience in software development, writing books and giving advice, sometimes at a hefty price. You see them at conferences, or with articles promoted, or with other types of media, sometimes playing the diversity card, at other times the beginner card, pushing their way in and taking advantage of credulous mass of beginners.

So the "weeds" are still beginners, just beginners who the author perceives as overselling their skills. That isn't much better, in my view.
> you are only on this planet for so long and waisting these hours making it look like you are doing work pails in comparison to actually making any impact on the people

At least you acknowledge the finite nature of life, but it seems like a grand assumption that environmental incentives currently optimize for spending that finite life in a way that is ultimately meaningful to yourself or others. What if all this tech bullshit we’ve seen for the last two decades really is just bullshit, and the toxic by-product of exponential-growth-crazed tech economy that netted a few billionaires and a few tens or hundreds of thousands of highly paid tech workers has been the hollowing out of our culture and destruction of shared institutions. So what if op wants to take an easy job beneath their abilities and lap up some easy ad tech money to divert it into something unprofitable but meaningful? What’s the counter argument? That we should all take jobs at the very peak of our abilities and fully devote our energies to maximizing economic output? What about people that have kids and want to focus on being a parent?

Op was very candid about wanting a low-expectation position, not deceiving anyone about whether or not they are working at all. Find your sinecure and produce something you or someone else cares about, op!
Yes, but languages/frameworks can provide their own abstractions to access the DOM and web platform so that you can avoid writing any JavaScript yourself, for example `web_sys` in Rust.
With a "private" crypto-currency you're still making a bet that there's no exploit. Roping payments into a message app increases the attack surface for both.
You don't think it's important to participate in our democratic government? Why shouldn't we hold powerful people accountable for their actions?
Many people would qualify for CHIP. But of course that only applies while they are children. If they are disabled, then they would likely qualify for social security and medicaid as adults depending on the severity type. The real issue is that they may need help with the administration of the benefits or with things not covered after the parents pass away.
> Monero or ZCash would have gotten the job done,

Those cryptocurrencies have a large energy consumption. I assume that part of the reason to go with MobileCoin is because it's less power hungry.
For a start cut-out front-end JS. That's a serious time sink these days. If you thought working around IE compatibility in the early 2000s was bad wait until you get sucked into a sizeable React project.
Keeping palms in the air has alleviated my wrist and saddle joint pain as well. What helped immensely to build the habit was to switch to a low-profile keyboard so there is nowhere to rest my wrists.

P.S. The keyboard I switched to was designed and built by myself [1]. It is a fantastic first project for someone new to electronics (e.g. me).

Also, it would include fiat currency as a scheme as those who print it do so at negligible prices.
I'm really tired of every single company going through some abusive scam or data harvesting scheme to avoid simply charging me money.
> fixing Intel is mostly about figuring out how they let a bunch of MBAs mismanage the company to the point that they squandered a two-decade long global monopoly on computing, in an era where computing absolutely dominated global economic development.

Isn’t the situation you described precisely where we would expect stagnation to be very likely?
As I understand it, work on DragonRuby is foundational for converting RubyMotion into a better, cross-platform mobile toolkit.

Then reject the bill on those grounds. Don't table it indefinitely.
You don't think that a website that encourages that people to buy more books -- books that they pay for with money -- has a viable business plan?
By that line of thinking, I can't wait for Bernie Madoff to get out and start another hedge fund. o_O
OnlyOffice are significantly incomparably worse in terms of compatibility. They're also being developed in the "throw over the wall" style, when the source code is being published at once months after the release and in a non-downstream-friendly way.
Some people think about their space and don't want it to be minimal. The way a lot of people talk about minimalism feels like propaganda to me. It's _assumed_ to be good, in and of itself. Well, I don't want to live like that, and I see no evidence that it helps.
Face and voice recognition tech could help against that. I think nazgul's idea is really cool, someone should try it.
Cool visualization! Any plans to do more examples of SVG? There's lots of functionality in the format and it would be neat to see it documented in an interactive style like this.
I work in AV eng/research, and reading the details of the Uber crash was utterly shocking to me in terms of the corners cut. I can get reflexively frustrated at the slowing of progress and pushing changes induced by our safety constraints and testing, but I've always been pretty happy with the choices we've made. Uber made multiple obscenely negligent choices that I don't think are remotely defensible. There are plenty of hacky heuristics in the industry, but it's pretty central to industry practice to avoid hacks that make you _less_ safe.
and NY times?
I don't think this is the kind of thing you can generalize. I have a very small social life, and I like it that way. I met my wife online (OkCupid, 8 years ago) and I don't think I would ever have met anyone without it. In my opinion, do what works for you and stop doing what you aren't enjoying.
Surely these are just all ads? If not, that's a shame.
Well, you still need to bother with adding firewall rules. But that's a lot less annoying than port forwarding, I agree.
It's funny because "javascript is bad" was common geek sentiment at the turn of the century. Now it is flamebait, or being caught up in the past [itself possibly a bit of a code for ageism]. Seeing this attitude change is one of the most interesting things I've seen in tech nerd circles in the last decade or so.
I mentioned nothing of race, in fact, gender and sexual orientation are likely just as important to diversity not to mention background and upbringing.

That crazy left-field idea might be your key pivot or feature.
We should be able to at least estimate an upper bound.

If wikipedia has 2.5B words, let's generously assume 10B words. Let's allow phrase lengths of 1-10 words and arrive at 100B combinations.

Optimistically we're at 37 bits, not even a 7 character [a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&()].

And unlike the [a-zA-Z0-9!@#$%^&*()], we could madly cut that down based on frequency and popularity.

Therefore existing phrase passwords are security through minority. If they are adopted, they provide at best an order of magnitude or two over simple dictionary words.

But we're kidding ourselves, most people still use 'password'.
I think there is an algorithm that automatically downvotes michaelochurch.
I know, I was talking about having a simple ui where you check check check and "pom" you have the libraries that you want.

Edit: The ui generates the dependencies for your pom. I know how maven works, and it's a pain to copy all those xml snippets in your pom.
It's only okay when it happens to people I don't like, so whoever is considered a nazi or a communist this week (delete as appropriate). Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, paradox of tolerance etc., you know the drill.
I'm in my 30s and I can't think of a single time I have ever received a phone call that I didn't expect.

I've read that people not answering their phones is the number one reason that COVID contact tracing doesn't work.

But your comment makes me think that you've never had food delivered. Never used an Uber. Never owned a business. Never bought or sold real estate. Never rented a place to live. Never went to a restaurant with a wait list. Never done a lot of things that are perfectly ordinary, and require allowing people to contact you when they have questions.
I would agree if the post by Signal would say "Hey, we know the server code hasnt been updated in a while, yall have been asking, so here is the updated source and this is the reason why. We have working to incorporate MobileCoin yada yada"

People have been asking about the server code for a while, with zero response or even acknowledgement.

No explanation why, no apology.... just boom, new crypto support in our server. Trust us its cool.

They knew this would be a bad look from the get go , to they did it in secret.
Some basic googling comes up with reasonable resources, including this:

We need at least 2 lens flares and a firework in order for it to be addictive. Maybe if the "new card smell" contained some nicotine?
It was ordinary compression, something called JBIG2. It did not mistranscribe, but mark slightly different number or character blocks as same, resulting replaced parts in images.

In other words, its match tolerance is a bit too lax, so it get poisoned by blocks in its own dictionary, thinking it already has the blocks for things it had just scanned.

I am not sure how is this makes it better. The author making racist statements and Guardian printing them. Would it be Ok to say "a black man owns more ..."? No, it wouldn't be Ok to say that. And yes, there are a lot of very rich African American men (in Sports, Entertainment for example). Racism is racism, and it is wrong, no matter who prints is or says it.
I think the end-goal is to provide privacy guarantees you will never have with Stripe or other traditional payment processors.
> ike let's say you grow up ok but you can't really afford to join the ski club or for a tutor and maybe you work in the evenings but you crush the SAT/ACT because you're incredibly intelligent. How will universities like MIT take that into account?

If the kid's that smart then presumably they'll have a top GPA as well. Absolute GPA of course is gameable, but class ranking really isn't. Texas at least has a "top 10%" law (https://news.utexas.edu/key-issues/top-10-percent-law/) which would get them in to a state school, and if that kid was really hankering for MIT then maybe they can transfer.

If they're lucky enough not to be in Texas, well, there's nothing wrong with state schools in any of the other several states, and furthermore there's no shame in going to a community college first if you have to.
Well, in terms of mortgage defaults at least, COVID hardship forbearance has but many mortgages "on pause" so to speak.
Identity theft is a much broader issue than just credit reports.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_theft

Essentially it's a way to accrue benefits while pushing any negative consequences on someone else. Those negative consequences can be material and not merely opinion. (E.g., your actual bank account can be drained and your checks can bounce.)

Further, opinion does translate into material consequences. Your options largely depend on the opinion that other people have of you.

Even narrowly construed, a mere credit score is a source of opinion that can affect everything from housing (buying OR renting) to employment, to getting a cell phone or any other type of service. Straightening out your credit can be very difficult, and even if you are successful, the fraud was a denial of service attack against your time. Credit bureaus rarely if ever face penalties for maintaining inaccurate information, so the onus is on the person whose identity was stolen.

If you don't think the individual is victimized, I invite you to post all your credentials and see where the experiment leads.
I don't see how the quote was relevant given that there is already plenty of evidence that will defeat the patent application, but it seems like very few people actually know the constitutional basis for intellectual property laws.

Even here on HN, I've seen posts from people who think patents are intended as a reward for inventors, rather than an incentive to invent. Under US law, inventors and writers do not automatically deserve exclusive rights - those rights are granted only as a means to encourage progress.
That's the thing with pigs - you don't see them until it's too late.
They don't offer full set of lecture videos. :(
Comparing with === does not perform type coercion, while == does and the rules for type coercion in JavaScript are even more funky than for semicolon insertion.
You do realize that NoScript is not "block all scripts", right?

I see so many people criticizing it with no apparent experience or use of it, and this is the primary misconception I see. It is not block all scripts. Why would anyone need an extension for that? You just turn off Javascript in the preferences for that. What it is is a domain-by-domain whitelister.

I can't use Chrome because it doesn't have NoScript, and I end up routinely visiting domains that I didn't even realize have some foreign-loaded script that pops up some crappy survey over the page ("please give us your private info under the guise of providing site feedback we intend to ignore!"), or pops up a flash ad, or who knows what. The web is too irritating to use anymore without it. (And Flashblock.)

Also, NoScripts does have heuristics, but they can't catch already-in-the-page XSS without firing too many false positives. They do have some decent protection against hostile links that have XSS-inducing strings in a query string or something. You can in fact download NoScript and configure it just for that. Personally, I've never had anything but a false positive from that check, but I don't cruise fora where such links are common.

It isn't anywhere near as hard to use as the critics say it is. I know this because I use it on three systems and I don't even bother trying to synchronize the settings somehow; it's more work to synchronize the settings that just use it in all three places.
That would not work. Most users don't care/don't know about about QoS, nor they want to learn. There was/is a ton of research on user-driven QoS, micro-payments, per-flow reservations, etc. etc. The result: there is no nice or simple scheme to a) expose QoS knobs to users b) align incentives of ISPS/ContentProviders/Users for micropayments, c) affordable equipment that can do per-user crediting across the Internet.
A lot of OTP improvements benefit whatever version of Elixir you're using or you can access directly from the erlang library (e.g. When OTP 22 came out, you could use the new socket api (:socket.open(...)).

But some additions require a new Elixir release. One that comes to mind was the new guard clause to check if a key is in a map.
for me, a good in-between is using the "super + left click & drag" to move windows around and "super + right click and drag" to resize a window. they allow you to move or resize when you cursor is anywhere in the current window instead of only at the edges. it makes it really quick to perform and can be done it of the corner of you eye.

setting a window to always-on-top with a hotkey is another useful one
What's perfect for this is stgit https://stacked-git.github.io/

You can easily work on, perfect, and re-order hundreds of patches in a single branch.
Certainly a good idea as well, and I've seen that it's common. My plan for tomorrow will be to get atleast a few apps in in my local area. Vehicles are a job of course, and business within walking distance is horrid. Where there is a will, there is a way, however.
I looked at your GitHub and saw one project in C.
Not bad advice not to work for free. People will leech off of your enthusiasm if you let them, friends are probably the worst offenders.

I can share with you that my passion has not always paid me dividends but has taught me much and has led me to the right experiences that led me to jobs that have paid me well.

Do some that you give a shit about, even if it makes no money right now... gain experience and in the long run experience will make you money.

If you're 18 you probably have no liabilities at this moment other than to eat and keep warm. Know that that makes you _free_ and there is nothing more enabling than being _free_.

You have a skill, find someone who needs your skill and ask them to pay you more than you think you are worth - chances are you are underestimating yourself. Never apologize or downplay your skill or experience. Hustle.
I remember CMU (or a site that was linked from a links page in CMU vision site) had a project called Nouse where you can operate the computer with a video camera using your nose. The nose doesn't touch anything.
Yeah, but if Google started offering free high-speed WiFi then someone would make a "DIY Android Hub" which had a better antenna, better cooling, and possibly even ethernet ports.
Me, too. Over 10,000 links. Welcome to the cloud.
I hope you guys are on AWS or something, because your server is going to get a lot of traffic over the next few days...
Sure. I was saying "no idea" == "that business" as opposed to the "no idea" == "jason and angelos" interpretation.
I think that most of the time a word-for-word translation is enough. I use Google translator a lot, and most of the time the translation is not perfect but it is good enough. So I think that is app is very useful.

But I think that the real problem are the idioms and phrases, like "dead end", that have a completely different translation.

On the other hand, I think that you have more processing time that 1/10 sec. Most of the time the user will point the app to the same text for 10 or 15 seconds. I think that it is possible to show first a very fast translation almost instantly and a few seconds later show an improved version.
How would define a prevailing wage given that in the same company two people with the same job title could be making vastly different sums of money ?
The only solution is using cloud-sites which open their source and so allow instant duplication.
