It only has multipurpose functions making it a top-notch mastermind application that automatically updates your contact information in your contact devices instantly most especially when you change your contact or phone number. One of the unique features of LetzwApp is its ability to automatically update and replace your old contact number with the new one with neither text nor email. It is a fantastic innovative App suitable and compatible on all devices.

LetzwApp's founder and entrepreneur, Sriram Varadhan has provided effective solutions for those who want to change their current phone numbers for new ones without losing any information. It is also the best choice for those who change or switch their phone numbers on a regular basis or having issues with their phone receptions in their offices and homes, and those who use Vonage, Google phones and Skype phones.

There is two months free trial for new users on this mobile-friendly App, and at the same time, it is available for in-App purchase by Actions. Just like every other friendly mobile applications, LetzwApp works in such a way that all contacts on your mobile phone must have the LetzwApp installed on their Smartphones and mobile devices for better performance.

I have a feeling certain people consider ICOs to be premining by definition.
Makes me so happy to see teachers on hacker news! (I was an 8th grade science teacher & then tech director before Clever).
That last paragraph, literally following the statement before it just makes me mad :

"But there is a sense that much of this technology is merely tinkering at the edges. The overarching issue is the potentially devastating effect of global warming on water availability and how we, collectively, endeavour to tackle it."

Unfortunately this statement is absurd. The real cause:

"Most recent projections suggest that its water could run out as early as March. The crisis has been caused by three years of very low rainfall, coupled with increasing consumption by a growing population."

So an extremely rare event is causing a water shortage. How has climate change affected this ? Well, it has moved the average of the distribution of rainfall by a few percent (at most).

How far are we from the average ? Close to 3 sigma away from it, and increasing every day. If the city actually runs out of water we'll be closer to 4 sigma before it happens.

So how much influence does climate change have on it. Opening my python client I feel like it can be distributed as such:

1) 99.99999% is a coincidence (a series of unrelated events spanning 4+ years causing a lack of rainfall in the area)

2) 0.00001% is climate change

In other words, if you solved climate change today, nothing at all would change for this city. And yet that claim from the BBC gets inserted there.
I just hope that they don't make Google login mandatory for this. For a desktop OS that's pretty invasive.

I mean, the APA does promote good research and also supported torture up until recently when it started attracting attention and became politically untenable. To the extent that it is possible to optimize torture, it has probably been optimized by some pretty competent people.
Citizens of the empire at or near the peak of its influence always think that. And if your culture has been rolling along for 2000 years almost without interruption, you might even be right.

It's just patriotism. I expect Chinese people to be as proud of China as Americans are of America. Some will be more die-hard than others, and some will be more humble about it.

All of my co-workers working in software are a lot more critical of our government and national politics than--to name near-antipodal opposites--some of my Trump-electing MAGA in-laws, for whom America is the paragon of nations that can do no wrong. Maybe you didn't talk to a representative sample?

The actual best, smartest, and most sophisticated people tend to be much more cosmopolitan in their world view (and in their distribution). But they aren't always the ones driving the politics, or the ones exporting the cultural stereotype.

Joe in the US idolizes the US, and Wei in China idolizes China. And to be fair, it is the most populous nation, with a rapidly growing middle class and developing high-tech manufacturing sector. While China hasn't ever been the center of the world, it has always been the center of east Asia.
That’s a myth

What's a myth, that torture doesn't work? Imma need a citation on that one, because I've got stacks of 'em to the contrary.
I think you must also consider why an Ethereum auditing service would be viable in the first place in light of two concerns:

1. Flaws in wallets often provide higher bounties, so the people who discover vulnerabilities are more likely to exploit it than to announce it. Basically misaligned incentives.

2. An auditing company would be taking on a substantial amount of risk considering how underdeveloped Solidity is and the magnitude of wealth potentially stored in a contract. I would only imagine auditing be viable for people who want to build brand recognition than building a company.
No, it is not an accident. It is mostly a matter of money applied with some precision. Brand recognition helps.

Nationalized producers are generally considered "unfair" because they're usually (always??) tax subsidized in some way. As such, they're not competing on a level playing field with the other players. In fact, the other players are being taxed... to pay for subsidizing their direct competitor!

Now if you wanted to setup a nationalized producer, put a "chinese wall" between it and the State and force it to compete without subsidies or special (favourable) regulations, sure, go for it. But then what's the advantage of it being nationalized to begin with? Anybody could start a non-profit corporation and do the same thing.
You could go even further. Let's say you are a very large bitcoin fish running an exchange and you want to cash out.

Tether is the ideal instrument to let you absorb part of the market demand using bitcoin rather than dollars, protecting the price while you're continuing your cashout.

Numbers, statistics and well reasoned argument can certainly mold someone's opinion on a subject if it's not one they're passionate about one way or the other.

Most of the pro-gun liberals I know said they didn't have a strong opinion on the subject and they found the pro-gun numbers and stats less filled with dishonest trickery than the anti-gun numbers and stats.

With most issues most people don't care much. These are the people who you can convince to have a baseline opinion that is (for example) against the CIA shipping people off to be tortured with carefully reasoned argument. It's like how most people believe man-made climate change is a thing to some extent. They don't care strongly but a couple decades of numbers and facts have influenced the baseline opinion of those people.

Still just a drop in the bucket of what Webpack can do, so the HTTP/2 post above shows a major misunderstanding of what people are using Webpack for, and probably what HTTP/2 actually is.

I don't see how you can work on a modern JS application, understand HTTP/2, and think HTTP/2 replaces Webpack. Pick two...
A problem with identity politics is that people make assumptions about which groups other people should identify with. There is nothing right about taking an attack on a group of people, especially when the groups are based on their genetics.

This author misses the distinction between the legal concept of the due process (see: the 5th Amendment) and the moral concept of due process. Violation of due process as a moral issue has nothing to do with whether or not it is the government judging / sanctioning you.
I've owned an HTC vive for a while now. Throughout all experiences, the ones that stood out the most to me were the social ones. I thoroughly believe that the future of work from home meetings will be done in VR. Playing social games and being able to convey messages through mic + body language and hand gestures is a very interesting experience. I have communicated with people who do not have any microphones, using simple hand gestures combined with motion.

Your biggest challenge is likely to be access to dark fibre or leased-lines at acceptable prices that allow you to make money. Licensed wireless backhaul is often the way to go, but that gets expensive quickly and also some existing spectrum there is likely to get re-allocated to 5G.

If I'm using a wifi network I don't really trust (coffeeshops, airports, etc.), I'll turn on HTTPS Everywhere and further enable "Block all unencrypted requests," effectively giving me "HTTP Nowhere."

This works for most things - for a few things I'll open an incognito window in Chrome, which simultaneously turns off extensions and doesn't send my original cookies, and I'll be careful about what I do in that window (certainly no logins to sites I care about). This is generally enough for e.g. reading some random news site that doesn't support HTTPS at all.
Yeah, I wonder why not CVS and other chains.
You don't get to claim judicial appointments as one of your accomplishments when the only reason they are there is because another member of your party, who happened to be the Senate Majority Leader, basically said "You Shall Not Pass!" to all the previous President's nominees.

As for "government waste", arguably he's wasting far, far, far more with his golf trips than any that he "saved". And many of those "savings" came at the expense of social programs that, without, will likely end up costing us more.

The travel ban is a giant example of his racism that I guess you could put on his accomplishments, if only to show how brazenly racist he would be in office. Even then, it's initial rollout was a complete and utter disaster, and it was prevented by injunction several times.

Trump has NOT defeated ISIS. Not even close.

Throwing gasoline on an already fiery situation in the Middle East is NOT an accomplishment.

Dooming the US to irrelevance by being the one first world nation to not participate in the Paris Climate Accords, thus ceding our position as leader of the world, is also NOT an accomplishment.

It could bring in money that is needed to pay for moving other water across the country.

It could also be profitable to ship out water inside grapes and, at the same time, import an equivalent amount of water in barrels. See it as Europe shipping water to SA to be packed inside grapes.

More likely, though, that is because Europeans are willing/able to pay more for that grapes/water. In a capitalistic world, it is the poor who will feel water shortages most.

> That was _precisely_ the point of HSR--to slow growth in automobile traffic so there'd be less need to upgrade and expand the highway infrastructure.

That sounds weird to me. HSR serves a different set of people and solves different problems than local/regional transit does.

As a simple example, I wouldn't see HSR reducing traffic on 101 or 280 between SJ and SF all that much. There are certainly some people who commute between SF (or very close by) and SJ (or very close by), but there are still plenty of people for whom driving to/from SF or SJ to catch the HSR to go to the other destination wouldn't make sense.

The major benefits of HSR are people traveling between NorCal, Central Valley, and SoCal. The most common type of commute pain is only minimally helped by HSR.

> [a bunch of stuff about BRT in SF]

That would seem to support my point: that we need better local transit options, including a subway, and we need to find a way to get what we actually want and need, not what interest groups like local business owners want. I see this as completely unrelated to whether or not we need HSR, though.

It's not implausible and ridiculous. In fact, in my experience it's one of the most common methods of increasing diversity. Here's a run-down of what my company does (my past workplaces have had similar policies):

* Applications of diverse candidates are accepted from non-traditional backgrounds. In this context, "non-tradition" means majoring in a non-tech field or attended a coding boot camp of some sorts (this applies for non-experienced candidates. For experienced candidates it doesn't matter what their educational background is).

* For diverse candidates, they get two tries at passing the phone screen.

* That said, all candidates go through the same on-site interview loop. The on-site is where the actual evaluation of skills and decision making process is made. This process is not made with any bearing on the candidate's diversity status.

This is a clear example of lowering the false negative rate without lowering the quality of accepted diverse candidates. The false negative rate is lowered by having a more lenient selecting in the first stages. However it's worth noting that these only determine if the candidate move on to the stage where the actual evaluation of skill occurs. The phone screens and resume reviews aren't reliable enough signals for us to make decisions so we only use them to determine the set of candidates that move on the to last stage. Some would point out that this increases the number of false positives for diversity candidates, but that's simply by increasing the total number of diverse candidates. It does not affect the false positive rate. And

The reason why we don't do this for all candidates is because of cost. There's a substantial cost to having full time engineers doing interviews. We already spend ~6 hours a week doing interviews and writing feedback. We couldn't deal with the increased load if we used the first and second points on all candidates. Second, we also want to have larger share of diverse employees in tech positions. Even if people think it's just for better public perception, that's still a tangible and significant benefit.

For what it's worth I think it's perfectly fine way of improving the chances of diverse candidates getting offers. That said, saying that this system is discriminating by decreasing the false negative rate for diverse candidates is an unambiguously true statement and I would object to any of my co-workers being fired for sayings as such.
And that's why I will never have these devices in my house. People have lost their minds.
I believe that's the difference between genuinely being able to relate, and faking it.

Perhaps ask "why does something that bothers others not bother me" as well. The answer can be uncomfortable, but enlightening and ultimately liberating.
I remember parts of Hong Kong being designed like this when I visited 10 years ago. It felt a little awkward but I could see this working nicely. Ideally we'd just remove the need for cars altogether though. Maybe freight could come in underground.
Somewhere I saw Jordan Peterson saying that he spends a lot of time examining his arguments from all angles and trying to find fault with them. Many arguments we see in modern discourse are little more than a train of thought that sounds good but hasn't seen much scrutiny[0]. I've certainly been guilty of making such arguments, myself (some probably on this website). If I can make the comparison to software, it's like the difference between checking that an application works vs. actively trying to break or subvert it.

I took a class on critical thinking in university and I think it was one of the most important classes I took. I find myself breaking down a lot of what I read in the news and elsewhere and finding that it doesn't hold up to basic analysis. Unfortunately I don't think I was ever taught how to effectively turn that analysis back on myself (or perhaps an attempt was made but my teenage self ignored it).

Regarding the interview, I think it is best summarized by the lobster exchange towards the end. I was disappointed, as I would like to see Peterson challenged by someone who has done their research.

Here is an interesting dilemma: should HSTS persist in incognito mode?

If not, then this becomes bad advice, because all the attacker has to do to disable HTTPS is not redirect http sites to https ones (sslstrip).

If so, then the list of sites for which your browser attempts HTTPS connections without being told to is the list of sites you’ve accessed in the past. This information could become a supercookie allowing sites to identify and track you even in incognito mode.

I think I understand your position. In the scenario you describe any kind of violence/torture needs to be done quickly to avert the situation. Otherwise it's too late. If the CIA renditions were based on something similar they shouldn't fly people to questionable countries but instead interrogate themselves quickly because times is of essence. Everything else would be irresponsible.
Actually quite a lot of macOS refugees switch to Linux because of gaming precisely. Simply because Mac hardware is underpowered, and issues like the above with bad support in Wine because of crippled OpenGL and no Vulkan.

similar to how nursing unions band together and squash efforts for community paramedicine (many of the same services at a way lower cost) to expand. "they'll be taking our jobs!" is what it boils down to.
