This is cool! I think it can be really useful.

My main suggestion is better error handling: make it so that when a calculation is invalid, it shows the error where the result would be (e.g. red text with the error message) instead of failing to compile the whole script.
It's interesting how much the stray cart problem varies from place to place. Where I live now it's not an issue at all. Everyone returns their carts so there are no stray carts for anyone to round up. Other places I've lived, it was probably less than half the carts that got placed into the cart return. Judging by the way carts ended up clustered, once a few people didn't return their carts, others saw it as permission to not return their carts either, though they often pushed them to be next to other unreturned carts.
Yes, I heard you.

To gmail point of view, they don't care about forwarding or replying to an email someone send you at all. All they care seems is about the message follow standard best practice(SPF/DKIM/DMARC/PTR) and send from a good IP. Sometime your IP can be flagged as spam wrongly on DNSBL. But it's very easy to get remove from DNSBL. Just submit a removal request, explain your situation and it's usually remove within a few days.

Also, the reason while your important emails are marked as spam is depended on gmail mx server you connected to. I don't know the detail but I have seen gmail mx server rejected/spammed my email, but on subsequent try if I connect to different one(by resolving other MX record), the email went through just fine.

If you send me an email vinh@hanami.run I can try to spot if anything may randomly flagged your email.

Also, did you have multiple SMTP servers?
In the sidebar of the SagePub page about the article is a link to another article, commenting on this one: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0956797619827880

I've read only its first page (the rest one has to pay for), which mentions another study that did the same sort of thing as this one but got the opposite result.

In this study, they asked people about what they would do in a trolleyesque problem involving hurting mice, and then they put the people in a situation where (so they believed) they had exactly that choice to make. The experimental subjects were much more likely to choose to shock one mouse rather than letting five be shocked than they had predicted.

In the study referenced by the other paper, they did a similar thing except that instead of "giving shocks to mice" it was "taking meals away from human orphans". In this one the result was the other way around: the experimental subjects were less likely to choose to take a meal away from one orphan to save five others from losing a meal than they had predicted.

(No mice and no orphans were actually hurt or harmed in either study.)

I suspect (with no evidence, and without knowing whether either set of researchers have already proposed this explanation) that what's going on is that what people say they will do is more governed by wanting to look good than what they actually do is; and that, perhaps because the stakes are lower, "shock a mouse" looks worse relative to "allow five mice to be shocked" than "deprive one orphan of a meal" does relative to "allow five orphans to be deprived of a meal".
Is Twitter more addictive than say HN?
Even if you have followers, if your individual tweets don't engage well, Twitter won't show them to 100% of the people who explicitly follow you, thanks to their algorithms. YouTube is the same way, which is why you see channels telling users to do three clicks to actually follow: subscribe, notifications on, notifications set to "all".

They censor you from your own opt-in audience unless your content is clickbaity enough and benefits the platform's own advertising metrics. You can only ever be a sharecropper on censorship platforms, no matter how successful you become.

I had >20k followers after more than a decade on Twitter, and I deleted. Now I use an email mailing list, and 100% of the people who want to see 100% of the things I send.

Fuck censorship.
Who needs twitter anyway? Right? We have hacker news :)
I also wonder if letsencrypt will be dropped at some point so the SSL mafia can start squeezing everyone who has been shamed into using SSL.
The solution is to cut off industrial and commercial sites first, which draw the most power anyways, and keep residential zoning online as much as possible. The economy can take a break for one day.
10 days worth of power outages in 20 years is not something to brag about. I lived in Toronto where we had maybe 1 hour of power outages in 5 years (my Linux box had >485 days of uptime on wall power with no UPS until I had to move). Well, that was until the 2003 blackout hit and took out power for 24+ hours.
This is normally when regulators step in.
I regularly see prey animals doing a lot of running from me when I am not a threat to them. Even remote observation of fairly large prey animals like goats in their natural environment show them seemingly randomly get spooked.

The author is very popular among the tech/rationalist crowds (they are not the same crowd, to be clear), the topic is of interest for the same crowd, but the examples get a C-. It is challenging to write interesting and accurate pieces twice a week, and this is neither. That would be another heuristic.
Think about policing. 99.9% of people are innocent so therefore we don't search and arrest people at random. And when we do people rightly flip out.
Most likely. Search continues to be strong and nothing has come close to bypass the moat. Facebook on the other hand, their moat has been broken through and they're knocking at the door of the castle :P

Their deal with Apple ensures their staying power. They own the other half of the Mobile ecosystem so even when lockdowns end and travel opens up there may be even more usage.
If you're not comfortable with variance, you should bet 0$ each time.

This is only partially tongue-in-cheek, since the only way to reduce variance is to bet lower amounts, but this will also reduce your expected return, all the way to zero at 0$ bets.
Apigee (Palo Alto, REMOTE, H1B) — Java Developers, Mobile Developers.

Apigee is the API company. We are helping thousands of developers build API-driven applications every day. Our technology powers the APIs of Walgreens, eBay, GameSpy, ConstantContact, and hundreds of others. We are actively hiring for http://usergrid.com/, our Mobile Backend-as-a-Service. Our stack is fully open-source (https://github.com/apigee/usergrid-stack) and our hosted service is about to enter Public Beta. We are built on top of Jersey, Jackson and Cassandra (we gutted a lot of the latter and built our own indexing system, query system, storage format and multi-tenancy strategy on top of it).

We are looking for Java Developers to join our Core team and help us overcome the next generation technical challenges, from Websockets to multi-DC, log routing and beyond! Not much is required except familiarity with at least one NOSQL database, a good understanding of the Spring framework, and solid experience in having fun.

We are also looking for Mobile developers proficient in at least one of iOS, Android & JavaScript+HTML5, who want to become an expert at all three, and help make it easier to write mobile apps without a backend team.

We offered catered lunches, full health/dental/life/401k, above-market salaries, options, unlimited vacation and flexible hours.

Want to apply? Have some questions? Want to join but don’t match either position? Then get in touch! ➝ tim@apigee.com

Perhaps your timing will be luckier.
I meant an pioneering an open source solution. You are right, there are proprietary (very expensive and complicated) solutions out there that you can use. My point is, when the open source community puts its head together on a problem they usually come out with something that's pretty stable and secure. Both properties are advantageous in file systems and DRDB like storage solutions :-)
Thank you, I think it has. I'll definitely be coming to London soon, so I'm not missing that beer :)
Why do you need this? To check that the number is valid? There's been someone recently using this tactic to validate numbers and then spam them with SMS scams.
Thanks for the feedback/comment :) We display the image that way so you are able to Preview it while the image uploads to our server in the backend. Once it finishes however you refresh and will see the images loaded from our server.

I think SMS is restricted only for US and Canada . Voice calls are enabled for all countries.
Really nice!
This is really time saving for web developers.
It's bookmarked!
Speaking of potential psychological issues, what about General Powers, head of SAC at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, who was fond of statements like:

Restraint? Why are you so concerned with saving their lives? The whole idea is to kill the bastards. At the end of the war if there are two Americans and one Russian left alive, we win!

He's seems to be one of the few people who was actually enthusiastic about the prospects of starting a (very one sided) nuclear war.
Basically you want a "dirty dialer" program. You could always hack together something that accesses a modem attached to a server that makes calls based on a set of numbers. I remember doing something similar on my Commodore 64 way back... :)

And a seven year old article without a follow-up also warrants skepticism. People have pointed out problems with the headline conclusion.

To the degree that "skepticism" means thinking hard and applying work to discern differences, it would be warranted. To the degree that it's interpreted as general doubtfulness without further effort or thought, that's actually the opposite of true skepticism.
So someone accuses someone of something nearly ten years later after the alleged incident and we are supposed to take it as hard evidence? Sorry but that’s not enough and I am not willing to simply believe extraordinary claims without it being judged in court.
Darn keming.
Web development was gradually overcomplicated the past 15 years. There is no joy in it, yet it's where the jobs are. I envy people who are doing it in their spare time, but for me it's a special kind of hell. Low level and game dev is enjoyable but hard and demanding, not because it is bloated with shit we don't need, but due to its nature and restrictions.

I like minimalism in my own life, not the plan9 kind of autistic 'suckless' kind but the Zen Buddhist letting go variety. That's not what we have now in computer programming.
Protip for anybody visiting India. Uber and Ola don’t really offer anything fancy as far as cabs go, but it’s important to choose the higher end options “Uber premier” to get the more “vetted” drivers. UberGo drivers are often newer and more reckless, and drive cars that are closer to a rickshaw with doors than sedans. UberXL doesn’t really offer much improvement either as drivers still lean towards newer or sleep deprived.

I wish either Uber or Ola would try to offer an option in all the major cities offering new Honda or Toyota cars with drivers that have been trained and tested by company staff, but it seems like government cab aggregator policies wouldn’t allow the companies to be so involved with these details
Happy customer of nextdns.io, which seems to offer the same benefits but isn't limited to Android. Is there anything this can do that nextdns can't?
There’s always a stack trace. The question is figuring out deep your eventing layer is. Also dispatching an event on one thread and receiving it in a component on another thread essentially negates the trace in this sense too (sometimes depending on your environment).

A solution I’ve always had is to build your message bus with logging in mind initially
Yeah, I feel we are a bit in an inverted world. Startups in my opinion need better engineers as they are in the hard part of making them product while the large companies mostly need people who can follow existing processes and do as they are told. Both types of companies hire the opposite because of economic incentives.

I also agree with your solution, but not sure how practical it is short term. Long term that is probably what will happen.

Easy publicity stunt, and probably not going to teach anybody much.
It’s far more likely to be a “unit designator” than “friend or foe”.

For one thing, they’re unlikely to be regularly changing out the tape on their pistols. It’s also very possible that in an actual conflict weapons could be picked up by the other side.

This is more for “Oh, that guy is dressed like a fed and his gun has red and white striped tape on it. He’s DSS (Diplomatic Security Service). I’m Capitol Police, so he’s probably not going to hear me if I call for his attention over our internal channel. Better transmit on the shared channel instead.”
Ah the "unicorn voice activation level" argument :D I've never seen anyone get that working perfectly in my decades of using VOIP for gaming and work.
My general reaction to that is "tough luck!" If a site algorithmically generated recipes, but accidentally created recipes that poison people once in a while we'd ban those algorithms without thought or, at the very least, make the algorithm owners liable.

If social media is destabilizing the mental health and critical thinking skills of the general public to the point that a subset of the population is becoming dangerous (and violent), isn't that basically the same thing?

I don't care if Mark Zuckerberg needs to buy a smaller mansion if that means my friends / neighbors / family aren't going to get brainwashed by propaganda.

> But PFS is specifically about including "my adversary may, at a later date, compromise my private key" in your threat model

I'm no crypto expert but that "later date" when talking about PFS is to avoid an external dragnet recording all your ciphered streams and then deciphering them once they have your non-PFS secret key.

I mean, in your definition basically all the messages should be ephemeral on your device and on each recipient device to have PFS.
I'm surprised GWT is still used out there. It's slow as hell to compile and JS libraries are so much better and more response nowadays.
Looks like you're right. He did get my e-mail and said they didn't think they were interested in selling it, but he did ask me why I want to buy it. I'm guessing that if I say it's for my business he'll try to gouge me on the price (if he decides to sell it), but then again I think he might do that anyways.

How would you respond to him?
I don't understand why you wouldn't want to make the best of the situation and turn a profit with the beach.
While there may not be any private beach under CA law, Kholsa actually tried to use a sneaky legal argument to get around that[1]. Essentially, he argued that federal land patent on the property from the 1800s superseded the California Coastal Act. It didn't work, but had it work it would have set a dangerous precedent for any properties that could make a similar claim.

Exactly this. It not only gets tiresome, but people go batshit insane in topics about gender, and it spawns some of the most ridiculous threads on this site. I get it, it's an important topic, but not every goddamn thing boils down to women in tech issues.
You write:

> almost everyone already has a home

> My personal doubts on Basic Income is that people would use the money any more effectively than they do their present money

I am not so sure your statements here are accurate. There are roughly 600,000 people in the US who are homeless on any given night (the number who are homeless at some point in the year is much higher). That doesn't include the huge number (probably several times as big) who are "couch surfing": staying with family or friends because they have no housing. And a huge portion of these are children; I doubt these children have sufficient income for a home.

As for your second statement, I cannot point to specific statistics, but all of the information I have seen suggests that most poor people are actually extremely efficient with their money -- that the problem is mostly one of not having enough income, not one of poor spending choices.

And it is because of these that a basic income program (or "citizens' dividend") would, indeed, make a difference. It would actually change the income distribution by setting a floor on the minimum amount of income any particular person can have.

The only reason I can see for using an accelerator would be to get access to the network that they provide. Being able to show your product on demo day will allow you to have access to a fairly large set of investors. Whether that's important or not if you already have a business comes down to the "Total Addressable Market" and how fast you think you need to grow.
My experience has been that it makes no difference if a caller is being recorded wether or not they're abusive to call center staff. YMMV.
The PHP community has an unusually reckless disregard for proper programming practices. Poisonously bad tutorial sites like w3schools are not helping either.

Java, Perl, Ruby, Python, C#, NodeJS and virtually other language or framework strongly encourages the use of placeholders. PHP's community stands alone in stubborn opposition to this despite having facilities to do this.

PHP is also unusually hostile to frameworks and ORM-like database layers even when these would solve a myriad of problems without imposing too greatly.

Honestly, on the whole PHP programmers in general are like hunter gatherers who see no use for anything other than the most basic of tools. There are exceptions, but I figure these people usually graduate to other communities where the best practices they follow have already been fully embraced.
I don't care much either way, except that I see some cases where using a 'www' hostname can be advantageous. In television and commercials, it's a useful marker that what being listed refers to a website. To the layman who is not familiar with all TLDs, 'example.nu' may be bogus, while 'www.example.nu' is immediately recognizable as referring to a website.

My take: 'www' helps in disambiguation, and sure is nicer than having to prefix all names with 'http://.
yes, it should be, for all the reasons listed in the first post on that page at the bottom
Sure it should, there is no value whatsoever in `www` subdomains. It's a relic from a time when admins lacked a bunch of tools and clues.
I think www can be useful offline. We here all recognize domain.tld as a website, but I suspect that www.domain.tld is more recognizable to non-technical folks. "Visit www.domain.tld for more information." etc.
Good for you. I'm fairly sure a majority of people in my own country disagree with you, not least because its logical implication is that any crime which deserves any imprisonment at all deserves life imprisonment, since you have excluded both mechanisms that justify release: rehabilitation (which would "fix" the person) and punishment (which would deter the person). If prison is neither rehabilitating nor punishing, it must be permanent.

But even then, it's more or less besides the point of the differences between consequentialist and deontological ethics, which seems to me to be at the heart of ideas about free will vs determinism, at least where they have a practical upshot.

Writing Emacs, be it in C or whatever, is hardly a reason to not call Gosling an expert in Emacs, quite the contrary! But you might argue his approach to Emacs is not idiomatic or not consistent with the community and so on, if there is evidence for that.
If we can't agree on what words mean, arguments about them are pointless.
You don't have to pay out dividends, and even if you did in 100% ownership situations dividends between companies are not taxed at all (at least not here).

Muni is theoretically accountable to city hall, not the people who ride it. It has no incentive to provide a useful service- only to keep its budget (which is a slush fund anyway).
I have a similar schedule (except I leave earlier to pick up my son). My team also knows my "time window" well :)
I just encountered this issue with Musl today, trying to make some software that uses backtrace() and backtrace_symbols() work with it.

I wound up making the use #if !defined(NO_BACKTRACE) in the code and passing CXXFLAGS=-DNO_BACKTRACE in the build script for Alpine Linux. (The symbol name is slightly genericized.)

In my case, whether or not Musl offered a macro, NO_BACKTRACE is a cleaner, more proper solution than adding to the #ifndef _WIN32 #elif defined(__MACH__) /* or __APPLE__? */ #elif defined(__glibc__) chain.

Except those people followed strict lockdown policies that are even greater than this.

You're talking about rationality and completely ignoring the fact that your numbers are based on areas where people have already taken the policies that you're saying are irrational.
Because my guess is that location will give you too may false positives if ppl realy use that system. I wonder if it would not be better to do sth like emitting colocation ble beacons with totp sequence and a random secret. If some is tested positive you release the secret or a even only a list of the emitted beacons in the relevant timeframe. Everyone can then check against the list they recorded. Does that make sense?
How did they get your information for the daily call? Just curious. Is everyone required to submit contact information? Or did they already have the required contact info for daily health checkups?
Those who don't understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly.
Darwin is just the os kernel not the GUI stack on top. You can, however, take a look into KDE’s codebase to see how they manage panels (docks) and using bonobo for search and dolphin as a finder replacement. Menu has a special Application mode which moves the app menu to a panel (that Is docked to the top of the screen for instance)
We've had this facility in the London WeWork offices for ages, why is this even a story? Is it because it alludes to the fact that Scots can't be trusted with drink in the workplace? :-o
Looks like it only takes 66 years for science fiction movies to become reality. The Batman and Robin movie serials of 1949 had an evil villain who had the technology to take control of all vehicles within a 50 mile radius. Today, we're darn close to Doctor Evil going worldwide with this. Where's Batman and Robin when you need them?
