Someone stole my Instagram username
I was @onemorething on Instagram and then suddenly one day I found that my username has been changed to @_onemorething__ and someone else now has my old username.

I reached out to IG support team several times over the course of past 4 months through (my account was hacked form) but they failed to acknowledge the issue and just suggested that I change my password and use a more secure password.

Even though their support <a href="https://help.instagram.com/149494825257596?helpref=search&sr=2&query=hacked%20username">article</a>
clearly mentions that you can use the (mentioned) steps to report if your username/email was changed in the process.

Would appreciate any help, on how to contact IG support team to get the issue solved. Thanks.

I still have 6x USR2450, one of the first router where you could flash Linux (2.4.20). It had 4MB RAM and 1MB flash, 10mbps, rs232, and it was quite some sport to add a feature there.

Going through the interior journey of being an emigrant changes you forever. Your certainties shuffle around, the cultural shock is something unexpected: as the author says, it's not a big bang, but a continuous stream of small astonishments about where to buy your food, how to turn on the shower, where to throw out your waste. All of these small things remember you that you're not in your place. Oh, hell, if this drains your energy. Then gradually the balance between cultural mismatches and adaptations swings gently, and you start feeling good again. Would you try to go back home at that point? Difficult choice: hardly anyone would understand your backfiring difficulties of readapting to the peculiar defects of your country. You are no longer the same person, you went through the path of change, you are part of the ancestral tribe of human emigrants that always existed in our species, but that nowadays is clearly separated from those who have the luck of knowing their soul belongs to a single place.

I think that yes, democracy is dying, and popular 'for all' democracy with universal suffrage has been a bad idea from the very beginning. People who don't own significant amount of property (say, sufficient to provide rent above poverty threshold), shouldn't vote, because their votes are irresponsible by definition, and they are too easy to manipulate. Worst case it leads to 'bread and circuses' mode of societal collapse.

> Because the German Court has overstepped its jurisdiction, and allowed the world's largest publishing group to bully Project Gutenberg for these 18 books, there is every reason to think that this will keep happening.

> PGLAF's legal advisors disagree with all claims that there must be any blocking, or removal, or anything associated - censorship, fines/fees, disclaimers, etc. - for items that are in the public domain in the US. Period.

I find this situation very similar to GDPR. I'd probably be down-voted for saying this (probably the demographic), but I will do the same thing to all of my online services and websites - I will block access to anyone based in EU leaving them a simple note to sort out their GDPR rules with their governments. My company is based in the states, I DO NOT have an obligation to follow your bullshit compliance requirements because you feel like it and over-step your jurisdiction. I will continue to follow the laws of where my company is incorporated under, but not every government in the world. So, fuck you and your tiny little data collection notice, I already have terms and conditions in place specifically for this purpose on my website and if you don't take an effort to read them, I am not simply going to modify my site code to make it easy for your lazy ass to display a notice on my data collection policies.

Semantics aside, AI is being name-dropped to drive clicks. It's misleading. Doing logististic regression is not noteworthy and has not been for many decades. Further, we already knew how to improve memory without the regression, so the study doesn't accomplish much.

The article misleads about the science being done, and people are better off not reading it. For example as others have pointed out, regression is not a black box and it is clear what we do and do not understand using this model.

Yes and yes.

Other countries can ban their citizens from accessing the child porn. They cannot ban a citizen of another country from hosting said porn if it's legal there.

This is obvious. Whether it's about porn, dissident political opinions or my cooking blog makes no difference.

Repeat after me: your country has no right to order citizens of other countries who live outside of your country to do anything. And vice versa, of course.

On a more personal note, here - a bit east from you - there was a time when your government could order people around, and it did. We don't want to repeat that, which is what you're calling for. There's a lot of blood behind some countries becoming independent. Show some respect for that.

That some countries could use their independence to allow child porn is unfortunate. I still won't support invading them over it. You need to realize that you're arguing for just that - infringing their independence - just without the tanks entering the picture (for now). Honestly, stop that. There are still people alive who remember the last time your folks did that. At the very least, let those people die out before doing it again.

You don’t have to cheat physics to get a much smaller lens with mirrorless. Without the room for the reflex mirror, the rear element of the lens can be much closer to the image plane. This makes it MUCH easier to build a really high quality 50mm or shorter fast lens in a small package. Yes, if they’re Leica, they can be very expensive, but Cosina makes some beautiful lenses under the Voigtlander label that will knock your socks off for less than $500. If you really want to blow your mind, check out the Voigtlander 12mm and 10mm full-frame lenses - try that with your SLR!

DSLR’s are at a major disadvantage for focal lengths of 50mm and shorter.

I don't understand. karavelov said that Amazon Prime Video doesn't work with Chromecast. Are you saying that https://developers.google.com/cast/ is insufficient to allow Prime Video to work with Chromecast?

karavelov was not asking about FireTV receiving Chromecast. Does Roku receive Chromecast streams? If so, what's stopping FireTV, if not then it's not really relevant to this "targeted discrimination" discussion.

> airspace is very limited.

Not sure that’s really an issue. Imagine the surface of your city had no obstacles and were basically one huge road. Surely, that’s a lot of space to drive. Now imagine many horizontal layers of that, so you could eg easily separate by direction of travel (as is done in aviation).

Next, one problem in traditional aviation is of course that planes can’t stop in the air. Drones, however, can.

While air space and ATC for many air taxis surely present a regulatory and technical challenge, I don’t think they’ll severely limit large scale deployment in principle, particularly if it’s more or less random point-to-point traffic.

If everyone is trying to get to a specific location at a specific time (an event), that might get complicated.

If you stopped reading you don’t really have the right to comment, not any more than someone who didn’t read at all.

“Stopped reading” usually means you fixed an interpretation of what the author said and presumed the rest without giving them the courtesy of actually verifying what they wrote is what you think it is. That’s rude and a cognitive bias that weakens quality discourse.

It is so hard to see that people who are dependent on social assistance will vote for nothing but more social assistance, dragging whole society into the hole?

To me, Chinese model sounds optimal: make strict, public, rarely changing rules of who can get suffrage, which may be a combination of education, income, wealth, and some other (say criminal record) requirements, in part replaceable by one another. 6% of adult population being voters, like in China, is quite enough. People who are funding the government (bulk of taxes are paid by a few percent of people), people who are moving the society forward, should vote - average people who don't have either capacity, or need to see the big picture and who are totally dependent on institutions they don't even understand, on their well-being, are at best a clutter, at worst a tool in the hands of enemies.
The article contends that women tend to focus more on communal well-being while men focus on individual success. Yet an increase in women in governance and leadership has gone hand in hand with a decrease in male success in education, lower mental health for men and a family court system entirely biased in favor of mothers. These are issues the female gender activists do not seem interested in fixing. These people have influence themselves because... they asked for it, after men built technology and infrastructure that made the traditional labor role of women in the home obsolete.

I really don't buy this notion that women look out for all. I don't doubt that they believe it, but I have yet to see women come together en masse to redress imbalances they benefit from. Unlike the entirety of civilization, built by men, many at the very bottom rungs of the ladder.
As a counter to your federalism revivalism, taxing land heavily would be the very beneficial to citizens and cities as you would incentivize the most valuable use of land in addition to providing a straight forward source of rent from the earth itself to "we the people".

Wars. Inequality. But mostly: establish a global civilization that is sustainable enough to survive in the long run.
Democracy isn't necessarily about voting responsibly. It's about giving people power over their government. When the government isn't serving the people, it needs to face some sort of consequence.

If democracy is failing, it's because this feedback loop is broken: people don't understand how their government works, or they don't feel able to make any meaningful change. It's not the people in poverty you should be blaming. In the last presidential election, for example, people at the lowest income level swung more toward Clinton than the average voter (https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/polls/us-elections/how-group...)
Election day on a Tuesday is INSANE.

It almost seems like that is designed to prevent the working class from voting.
Socrates would be happy.
Blocking the whole country is an interesting move, mostly because it has the potential to generate a much greater public outcry than simply masking away the few specific books in question, putting a greater public pressure to reevaluate the entire legal constructs surrounding these issues. It's a display of standing for your principles without compromise.
China is a kleptocracy. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/oct/26/wen-jiabao-wea...
Yes, democracy is dying, assuming it was ever "alive" - barring small, token movements, the rich ruling classes have always been that. We, the people, are often presented with unpalatable choices and little hope of changing the actual status quo. Looking over a significant timeline, say the past 50 years, we see a trend of the rich getting richer, the poor remaining poor, and the middle classes sliding into poverty. The only relevant skillset most politicians are bringing to the table is "getting elected", so essentially democracy's leaders are the winners of a popularity contest.

As a species, we are ruled by special interest groups, greed, and lust for power. This has always been the case, and will remain to case for a long time to come. The only difference is that the ruling classes have learned that the best way to stave off violent revolution is to provide the masses with some creature comforts and the vision of "working hard (for them) to make more money (controlled by them) so you can buy more stuff (sold by them)". We live in a post-scarcity environment that is artificially kept under the thumb. The real problems we face - such as a rapidly approaching fresh water shortage, environmental calamity, and a rapidly changing production environment (robots and AI will eat the jobs) - are being ignored in preference to ever increasing profits.
I don’t know if that’s the explicit aim, but it certainly has that effect. I’m grateful that I live in Washington, where we get our ballots a couple weeks before Election Day, which gives us a chance to do proper due diligence and return our ballots via mail.

Return rates still aren’t high enough, but at least it’s not because people are prevented from making it to their polling place because of other obligations. One step at a time...
Agreed. OP is probably talking about the Chinese model
It seems clear evolution has uniformly negative opinions of brother-sister couples.

But cousins are more interesting, because the biological downside of having some ill (or just thick) grandkids must be balanced against the upside of having a tight clan, without divided allegiances, to fight off other clans.
It is insane. You would think with our technical advancement as a country that we would be able to vote remotely and also obtain good information about candidates and their policies.
Yes late 18th century America sounds about right. Of course i don't mean slavery or racism, i just mean that people who don't own property, shouldn't vote. Universal suffrage is a Commie invention, they invented it exactly to crush capitalist societies, because they knew a democratic society with universal suffrage is doomed. Only way to make it survive long term is something like Putinism: keep the elections, but make them irrelevant, and let the wealthy people still decide things in the close circle.
Thanks! It is very interesting language indeed and the book is very useful to make first steps in APL.

> they are noisy, a problem which can probably never be solved

DJI recently introduced a 60% quieter version of its Mavic Pro drone (with “new FOC sinusoidal driver ESCs and 8331 propellers”).

And remember how Apple engineers the fans in the MBP to be very quiet, by using irregular spacing?

I think there is quite some scope for improvement, even without anti-gravity devices...

Lastly, listening to videos of eg the Volocopter flying, I don’t find the noise particularly bothersome (but then, I’m biased,,, :-)

I'm over anything that claims to be "social". I think time has shown that these networks are almost unsocial and encourage people to post only the best, most boastworthy things. The portal into their perfect life when we all know that no one's life is like that.

Real socialness isn't like that.

Me being the product of the existing Social Networks isn't what's failed as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, that's a problem. The process tends to yield to the loudest voice in the room, or something like that.

The military has the tradition that, when officers discuss a plan of action, the most junior officers speak first. This is to avoid everybody agreeing with the boss.

>The K-series is the descendant of the T16

Descendant only in the fact it came later. The engines share nothing from memory. The K series was an all new small capacity engine (1400cc) on release. Compared to the O, M and L (diesel) it's a fully aluminium block and head with steel damp liners. The K series had its bore and stroke upped to bring it to 1800cc after launch, along with adding variable valve control with the VCC engine.

The two engines share very little in common, the most frequent thing being they're normally both attached to a a PG1 gearbox.

Democracy with universal suffrage has barely been around a century. In South Africa, it is just over 2 decades old. It's new, it's messy, it doesn't always go our way. What amazes me is that the USA can swing from one side of the political spectrum to the other and the country holds together and happily repeats the process every few years.
We don't currently have any remote positions.
Having a truthful model of the world is important to me, whether that is labeled as optimism or cynicism. The history of the world does show that small numbers of people have wielded huge power for a long time, and that has fact hasn't changed.
