So before Aadhaar, what required govt photo ID or tax ID verification in India?

In the USA for example, you need photo ID & a SSN to open pretty much any financial account or to fly. Many businesses require ID to do business with them on an adhoc basis. I also know in many countries ID is required to open any telecom account.

Is the fact that aadhaar is attached to biometrics and the fear of future genocide the root of the controversy?
What if it is actually people just not realizing what stability is because they've never experienced it? If you're further away from understanding stability from experience - say for example emotionally, or life-style, or health-wise - then how could you know it when you see it manifesting in a company?
> By the way, I think we can all agree that the Russian Dance from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake is the best piece of music ever written, right?

As great as it is, the one that always gives me the chills the article spoke of is the third movement in Vangelis Mythodea[1].

Did I misunderstand something?
Did the article talk about the EU as just "the bloc"?

Maybe I've been reading a bit too much about past communist countries lately... Is that expression common to be used for EU, or groups of countries in general, or is that just the Telegraph being the Telegraph?
My point is that the RFC doesn't say they "don't matter", it says they don't have to matter. For Netflix to assume they don't matter would be in violation of the RFC (it would be assigning semantics to the local-part).
This is psychiatry. We don't know how to cure the underlying diseases, because we don't entirely understand them. When the field can actually cure them, like for PTSD and certain anxiety disorders, it's very happy to.
> Actually, we are. Back in the day, I would have given long odds against seeing autonomous cars on the road in my lifetime. Notwithstanding the odd mishap, today's autonomous vehicles actually work much better than I would have thought possible.

you are probably correct. in comparison with the past we are moving fast, it just feels that we could do so much more with what we have.

> It's true that society doesn't seem to be making very effective use of this new super power. But that doesn't make it any less of a super power.

this is the sad part. but on the flip side this means there are so many opportunities for those who have the desire and drive to make things better.
The two security issues are user phishing and Netflix not performing canonicalization of email addresses. he signup process itself is not a security issue.

The issue from the perspective of the user should be that the author clicked on a link in an html email, when he should have instead gone to Netflix.com. He clicked first and only then checked. Gmail even warned him of the phishing possibility, and he still clicked on the link! He is the vulnerability that was almost exploited.

It is true that there are other issues with user interactions, such as Netflix allowing signups without email verification, however those were purposefully designed that way by Netflix. They are features not bugs.
Ah, that does make sense. I just tend to be a little on the defensive about it because often the response I get is that I’m taking the “easy” way out through medication.
They should have these kind of stores at all major airports. It would be a huge attraction and I would look forward to going and seeing if there are any nice gems in the confiscated items.
> Its monopolistic aims are actually hobbled by the diverse ownership of the oil fields of its members.

So, "competition"? Cartels in general are unstable because of these internal competitive forces.

I get that corporations with large market share can set prices in the short term. But every resource has a substitute. Even oil. So even price-setters have to operate within limits or risk their power being marginalized.

I am picturing the elimination of the state. And I agree that one can enforce his own property rights.
Doesn't that support what Google is doing? Google is the host specified in the domain, and they are interpreting the local-part to refer to the same mailbox if they only differ by dots.

The RFC also notes that the local-part MAY be case-sensitive (i.e. it's up to the host).

Edit: the host SHOULD ignore case: "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where [...] Local-part is case-sensitive".
I'm sort of agreeing with you? My point is leftists say communism and mean something different (some leftists don't even consider Stalin a proper communist, Trotskyists for example) but people outside use it as a blanket term for the left. Even some in the US call conservative democrats "communists".

Regardless, it's just a word. My point is people commenting don't know the difference anyway, it's best to just read their comment as referring to "those authoritarian states that called themselves communist."
There is no bug in Gmail. This bug has nothing to do with Gmail, it is with Netflix not clearly communicating when verifying the address a user claims to own.
If you want information delivered in ultra-condensed nuggets, try Twitter? There’s no shortage of TL;DRs on today’s Internet.

No one is forcing you to read the “fluff and nonsense” of an award-winning 78-year-old author who was friends with A. C. Clarke.
I would love to see Microsoft do a fully open source Mobile OS now that they've shown to be mobile friendly. Maybe based off of BSD or something to take advantage of some of the things BSD does differently from Linux
Why should netflix be required to adhere to the different ways that every email provider doesn't adhere to the spec?
When this happens to me, I reset the password and abandon the account. I assume whoever created the account made a mistake, but I have no way to contact them. When they have to sign in again, they’ll have to create a new account, but they’ll hopefully use their own email address.

It’s never happened to me with a paid account, but if it did, I’d cancel it.
Very odd use of the word Landing.
There is no bug in Gmail. The bug is that the vendor is sending unclear email contents.
Anecdotally, everyone I knew who tried it complained about lock-in (environment too prescriptive and has behavior you can't opt-out of) and no longer uses it.

There is development activity in the repo, but I would say the 'hype' has moved to other projects.

They are trying to cure symptoms of underlying diseases, and even that, only in ways that will require lifetime intake of drugs and followup tests.
I could not agree with you more: Both my partner and I have been on SSRIs / SNRIs before for LIMITED DURATION (3-12 mo).

We would not have a healthy, happy, functional family without these types of interventions available.

I found (I suspect like you) that having an psychiatrist - an MD, who can provide both cognitive/behavioral and pharmacological interventions - is the key.
I have ~1000 online accounts. I can't remember every site that I've signed up for or not, and whether or not they've been deleted.

Many websites allow multiple accounts to have the same email address.
I get emails to my gmail account for some elderly person who lives in NYC about him not seeing his doctor all of the time. He has my same email address with a dot between his first and last name. I used to reply to the emails saying they had the wrong person, but now I just auto delete them.
This is actually a perfectly logical thing for Canada to do given our geographic proximity and economic ties.

Do you know what would happen if the US suddenly dropped its defense budget and pledged not to defend its NATO allies? We'd spend more on defense. Although to be frank, the idea of Canada facing China solo in a military conflict is ridiculous.

In 2017 we spent around $19B on a federal budget of about $311B. If you accounted for provincial budgets, it's probably close to $500B in annual expenditures. We could easily triple our military spending without adversely affecting the economy.

The more important question: why does the US spend so damn much?
Fuchsia Friday: Graphics, Gaming, and VR (Oh My)
I don't advocate against Tor though, but against the Tor Browser.
I had one, an HTC. In grand scheme of things, right after the iPhone 3 it was the best phone I ever owned. It was slick, fast and the UI made sense. But there were no apps... The last few years I am using Android, not so impressed. I made it a habit to switch between providers, so I dont develop a strong association with either...
This is true if changing the password s you to re-enter the password on every device (even those that were logged in at the time)
I don't miss Windows Phone or Windows Mobile, but I do miss the idea of a third mobile platform player.
The du rounds are not highly toxic per se the radiation level is low you might have some problems if you inhaled dust with uranium particles - if for say you where in a tank hit by a du round - then again if you successfully bail out of a brewed up tank any life after that is a bonus.

A mate of mine was in GW1 and told a story that he and some mates where investigating a brewed up Iraqi tank - they jumped out when they realised that not all the crew got out and one poor sods boots with feet inside where still in the tank.

How ever the German Tungsten squeeze bore rounds used in ww2 also had the same problem and a crashed burning plane probably kicks out a lot of potential nasty chemicals
What did you think of the ending difference between the book and the movie in ACO?
Good to know. I had accidentally created multiple accounts for myself around '05 or so and was really surprised by it. Iirc back then they also required separate accounts per-country, but I could be wrong about that.
I've seen enough people in my life become addicted to antidepressants because of a traumatizing event in their life for me to have a dark outlook on it. Instead of therapy or taking real course of action to resolve the trauma/inner problem, a doctor will just label a person suffering depression. The greatest use of an umbrella-word "Depression" to get people on prescription medication and typically the problem never goes away as the problem is now just a word associated to illness one must have. A pseudo science practice at best and impossible for a trusting person to escape it. My personal opinion is that there are few people actually on the drug that are suffering "depression" without a rational life event cause.
It's a Netflix issue. They let people register email addresses which they haven't proved to be in possession of.

Takeaway for developers: no email should be sent to unverified addresses, except the verification emails. An "I didn't register for this" link is also a must have in these letters.
I also miss it and am disappointed Microsoft did not more aggressively pursue Windows Phone. It was fast, unique, and offered legitimately good competition to Apple and Google.

Continuum remains a fantastic idea, frankly I am surprised Apple hasn't adopted something similar with iPhone.
It doesn't cure any of these disorders. All they can do is reduce the symptoms just enough between each pill you pop.
Any info on this "unofficial" API?
I was up to 10mg/daily of Lexapro for two years. When my doctor and I agreed it was time to stop taking it, his advice was to go down to 5mg for a week, then stop.

When I tried stopping after the 5mg dose I had constant vertigo symptoms and incredible difficulty sleeping.

What I ended up doing was cutting the pills in half for a few weeks, then quarters, then removing one day a week from the schedule until I was down 2.5mg/wk. Finally I was able to stop, and only was mildly affected for 3 weeks after that.

That stuff does weird things to your brain. On the flip side, I couldn't have gotten through some really rough times without it.
> Why can't it be both sides' issue?

Even if Google didn't provide this feature to their users (and it is a feature that I regularly use to track who leaks my email address and then auto block emails to that address), Netflix's approach of sending sensitive emails without verifying the email address is still prone to security problems. Many people have multiple email accounts, or aren't really aware which email account they used to sign up. Sending a "please update your billing info" without verifying the email account first is purely on Netflix.
Having lived in US and UK there is a big difference. I have experienced US doctors tring to upsell me on treatments for a superficial leg injury that UK doctors who have seen the same thing have not and said just leave it unless it causes pain. Similar experience with dental care in US.
This is a much better title. Considering that the now favored course of action is surgery, a potent drug combo would be my choice. Once you start cutting, Docs often want to keep cutting.
Btw that meta data I believe it's in the body of the email. Hidden with some html tags that Google tells companies to use so they can do those things. Inspect the source of the html of the body and see if you can find it there.
Typed that on my phone, should be:

Object.entries({}).forEach(([k, v]) => { })
Second solution seems pretty optimal for security but not sure if users up for that.
Actually, the performance benefits can be huge (design dependent) and have been for a long time. The reasons have more to do with complexity and difficulty of implementation. The query compilation and execution engine must preserve the operational robustness, integrity, and behavior of the database engine, which is not a trivial design and implementation problem. The number of things that can go horribly wrong increase significantly versus an interpreter.

JIT query compilers were relatively common in closed source databases even a decade ago, it was one of their technical advantages versus open source. This is a necessary step toward closing that gap. There is a similar gap when it comes to storage/execution schedulers that is currently lacking in open source implementations which has a similar level of impact.
Really? It should identify as a T-Mobile number. Have you tried contacting Fi support?
who could make a phone that you would pay $1000 for that doesnt already make one?
A powerful government is also really good at using its power to increase competition, encourage competitors, protect new comers, and so on. And a powerful government in command of its people will do more of that.
I had the same issues coming off of Lexapro. Weird brain shocks. Bupropion (Wellbutrin) has been better for me all around, but I worry about what it will be like coming down off of it too. The good news is that I'm overall in a good place and feel like I probably don't need it anymore.
I don't see the scam here. If you have to go through password reset to get into the account and update the CC number, then the would be scammer does not have access to that account anymore (assuming Netflix logs you out of other devices when you change your password).

Sure, you end up paying for an account you don't use, but nobody gains from that (other than netflix). It certainly is an issue that can easily be fixed by netflix validating email addresses, but I don't see any incentive for scammers abusing it.
That interpretation would require a colon before "heart attacks."
A skin condition associated with Celiac Disease: https://celiac.org/celiac-disease/understanding-celiac-disea...
Because it's Netflix not adhering to the spec, which states that local addresses are to be interpreted by the host only. Netflix has no business caring about how Gmail interprets its local parts.
I just took a screenshot of being logged into both accounts.

> Does this actually improve the performance of most queries?

"most queries" - probably not. By sheer number that's going to be OLTP queries, and there it doesn't help. You need analytics queries that take upwards of 0.2s or such to benefit.

> Most queries are light on computation and heavy in IO.

That's something often said. I think it's definitely wrong today and at least has been for a while. In a lot of workload a good chunk of the hot data set is in memory, and even a single decent SSD can often more saturate a single core.

If you look at analytics benchmarks and real world analytics usage, you'll often see CPU being the bottleneck. Using multiple cores can alleviate that to some degree, but that can imply a need for a bigger hardware / less concurrency. And doesn't come for free. Efficiency is important.
My main source of leads and important industry contacts has been content marketing (in written form).

I write about the subjects I want to work in and tend to go fairly deep into it.

It is highly a great way to generate leads over the short and long term. I've been doing it for more than 5 years and directly attribute my success to it. To the point that I also do it for certain others (as a side gig).

There is no how to book about it. Just a desire to write and time to do it well.
I hope that this doesn't come over as sarcastic, but the pharmaceutical industry is a business, and they will always operate like one:

A business is about making the most money possible: Maximizing revenue is about minimizing the main costs which are generated by the activities of:

(a) acquiring the customer (through: advertising and marketing) and,

(b) retaining the customer (in this case: through dependency).

There are alternatives to anti-depressants. Some people quit depression for good with a well researched and planned LSD trip combined with long-term daily mindful meditation.

No, I'm not saying everybody should take LSD.
I have celiac disease and haven't heard that sensitivity increases w/ lack of exposure to gluten, can you link to anything?
It's an interesting perspective to see a non programmer struggling to solve a real world problem as their first exposure to learning how to program. I can see how it would be daunting.
conditioned to breed at or around the replacement level

The concept to read up on here is r/K selection. Life is certainly judged by how many offspring, but there are various strategies for producing them, and one of the trade-offs is number vs. investment in each. Among all animals humans are far at the r-strategy end (high parental investment).

But different societies choose slightly different points, probably related to their history of farming. And the richer countries today are those traditionally towards the r-strategy end.
That's just human nature. We can say the same about programmers. They just want to fix the apparent problems, not write a better program.

Yes, if you read Hacker News you probably object. Not everyone does that. But making the problem just go away is the prevailing, widely spread, most commonly used mode of working.
So it turns out that your mind is implemented in your brain, which uses chemicals. There is no such thing as distinguishing "chemical" mental problems and "non-chemical" mental problems.

That brings back horrible memories. I took an SSRI for several years, initially prescribed by a GP. But the problem was that I wasn't "depressed". I am bipolar, and sometimes got stuck in down mode.

The SSRI did make me more functional. But what it mostly did was make me affectless. That is, I could be sad or happy or angry or whatever, and I felt pretty much nothing. However, I still did whatever someone who was sad or happy or angry or whatever would do. You could say that it made me sociopathic. But fortunately, not homicidal or suicidal. Or at least, not in a big way. Also, I lost interest in sex, and it took forever to reach orgasm.

And yes, quitting was painful. Mostly I recall restless leg syndrome. I would kick my partner while asleep. And I got even crazier for a while, as I tapered off.

So now I'm taking modafinil and lamotrigine. Which works very well for me. I'm a little manic most of the time, but I like that. And I'm not at all sociopathic.
You can create a filter on the “to” field of emails. Any email sent to the undesired dot pattern will have whatever action you choose taken on it. Put them in a folder and mark them as read or send them to trash.

You can (should) also mark the messages as spam because whoever accepted that address without verifying it shouldn’t be sending emails to it.
Yes, imagine how much more competition there would be on the pharmaceutical market, say, if governments didn’t discourage innovation by demanding that products be tested and safe. Think of barriers to entry it creates in the chemical industry that waste must be discarded of in highly regulated (and expensive!) ways. Not to think of air travel, which is so regulated that I doubt we’ll ever see a startup in that market ever again.

Hell yeah. I wish I’ll be that persistent when I get old. But then again, relaxing and traveling the world might be nice, too. Well, we’ll see
I was under the impression that literally anything goes on the left side of the @. It’s all up to the individual mail server
That's why I use normalization for gmail addresses that my users use. It solves the problem completely.
Yeah, that. While the dots may present a marginal security risk, they provide a useful workaround for sites that fail to allow the owner of an email address to remove their address from another user's account.
Indeed. I had a light-bulb moment about this when thinking about how a 2D image is unrolled into a one-dimensional vector before processing by an artificial neural network. Before training, the NN doesn't even have a concept of certain pixels being related because of proximity. It needs to learn to see the 2D structure in the data from scratch, starting with edge detection.

And this also means that the order in which the pixels are presented to the NN doesn't matter in the first place. You could pick a completely random (but fixed) permutation and the NN would still learn to "see" in that mess.

I rented a US built sedan a while back. I remember being amused at the huge panel gaps, cheap plastic everywhere giving off a strong chemical odour, and the fact the thing carried on rocking on its super soft suspension noticeably after you came to a halt. I cannot fathom why anyone would buy something like that rather than a BMW for example if the prices were similar, bar extreme patriotism.
What diseases are there on the field of psychiatry that can be "cured"? It seems to me that all of those diseases are only mitigated enough to help the person recover on their own.
Are tax services around the world going to get absolutely blasted with tax filings containing hundreds and hundreds of pages of API-powered BTC trades this year? What a mess.
Before you downvote op for an admittedly over-broad opinion you truly need to experience the USA model of overprescription, drug ads on billboards and all over TV shows targeted by demographic, all sorts of IP shenanigans to extend IP/re-patent/pointlessly reformulate/roadblock generics/cherry-pick studies for new drugs that have no real benefit but a higher price.

European medicine is indeed worlds different, and the European population is far less sick, overmedicated and suffering from iatrogenesis.
