From the article, it appears they can't even detect obvious fraud, so I'm assuming that the answer is no.

The moral of the story was that Stripes REAL concern was to keep good numbers for their upstream provider. (as an agent/ISO). So... targeted chargebacks probably would have the intended effect.
FYROM is a neighboring country to Greece.
For the last 20+ years, the two countries were on a stalemate on this. Greece did not invest much into their northern neighbor.
Turkey with Erdogan has more economic involvement in FYROM than Greece, even if there are no traditional links between them.

Yeah, it's published in "Environmental Research", a journal with an impact factor of 3.8. This is quite low. If the claims made by this paper are true, it has huge implications, so there's two possibilities: 'Science' and other prestigious journals are SUPPRESSING THE TRUTH due to INFLUENCE by BIG WIFI and passing up the opportunity to publish an incredibly important story, or the actual research is garbage.
Congratulations: monads are not that hard.

That said, it's often preferred to use Either<Success,Error> because then you can try to explain what went wrong. A Maybe cascade failing can be pretty mysterious when you start to compose them, and you're deliberately creating something your optimizer will inline into an difficult-to-debug straight line of code.

Why shouldn't all your traffic, location data, and thoughts be archived for future use?

Maybe in 30 years we figure out you are one of the undesirables of society, and we'll have an easy time getting rid of you and your kind. It's a great boon for society to preserve all data.
Giving resources to the sibling hyperthread via pause is not the kind of context switch I'm talking about. I'm talking about the expensive context switch when the OS scheduler must swap out a running thread for another. That carries a steep obvious penalty switching between user space and the kernel and back, but actually can involve much heavier penalties where the cache and TLB are concerned - depending what thread runs next.

Pausing for as much as 10ms could be better under some circumstances, but that would seem to me to be heavier than a context-switch. Whether the system actually achieves better throughput or not in that case would be workload dependent. Worst case the hyperthread is also running the spin lock loop and no useful work at all is accomplished on the core.
Im not sure why I was down-voted. Even if you close data centers and move to the cloud, you still need personnel to manage the infrastructure.

A more appropriate parallel is the US state of California, which is named as it was once a part of a region named after Alta California, the name California first being applied to the then-thought-to-be-an-island peninsula in modern Mexico.

The country of Macedonia was part of a region generally called Macedonia for over a thousand years, as the initial named unit of Macedonia (which was in Greece) expanded to cover a wider area.
Hm. I'm mildly curious, and I figure there's no harm in asking, so... what about Australia? Is there anywhere in particular that's looking for anything over here?

I've long thought mainframes were interesting, seemingly for the same sorts of reasons as OP - alien rock-solidness, for want of a better way to put it. But I'm not sure if .com.au has much in the way of mainframe-type development, or if there's much of a job market here.
That is not the context of this news.

The context here is recording pertinent information when a person chooses to request emergency law enforcement, medical, and fire services.
This is one of those cases where German rigidity shows so well. Yes, strictly speaking, .eu is for EU only. On the other hand, the scenario of a country leaving EU was never before tested. Instead of sticking rigorously to the letter in the .eu regulations, how about revisiting the regulation? Nope, that's not the procedure.

(Disclaimer: I'm an EU citizen living in the UK, and I obviously don't like the whole Brexit happening. Due to this I moved my UK hosted .eu domain back to Hungary. On the other hand, if the new EU copyright proposal passes, I'll join the Brexit camp.)
Thank you for posting that. Made my day!

Experience building software can lower the testing requirements.

I find the degree of testing needed can be relative to the difficulty of the problem, the unnecessary complexity of the solution, and the average skill of the developers working on all 3.

Digital product should cost less than physical, since there is no expense of printing physical disks. But if it already costs so for DRMed digital, then sure, price won't likely be less.
This just isn't true at all. Exceptions use a totally different mechanism from railway-oriented programming, have very different constraints, and different performance characteristics.

Please don't entertain these silly posts. At best, it only grants legitimacy to a crassly presented idea.
GNU seems to define anything that works against the interests of the user as malware. That's a broad but by no means crazy definition, and it it interesting that a lot of "legitimate" proprietary software is malware by that definition.

And, in this case, they seem to be using an even narrower definition than that. The things listed on this page are considerably worse than just using the wrong license.
I’d like to see Apple help subsidize the cost of upgrading the software required in rural emergency call centers if it’s required to interoperate with this new feature (perhaps coming out of their corporate social responsibility budget).
Later Ektachromes were pretty good. By the time Kodachrome went away, there wasn't really a Kodachrome 25 replacement but the 100 ISO Ektachromes were very high quality.
I see your point. You still need to copy the data to the buffer.

But yeah, don't expect smooth animations without a dual buffer.
Would you say that the larger the organization, or perhaps more accurately, the further a developer is separated from "owning" their code, the worse this issue is?

In my case, if my code causes a bug, I have a very few steps between the person reporting the bug and the complaint getting to me. It feels personal.

Your suggestion seems to imply it's just money, but how do bean counters effect ground level code decisions in an organization?
Will it be possible to make an anonymous 911 call?

There can be scenarios, I think, where we (society) do not want to deter someone from reporting an emergency due to fear of being identified. Off the top of my head, consider a situation involving organized crime taking place, where call centre staff (or law enforcement) may be compelled to leak the identity of a witness.
thanks for pointing this out, I wasn't aware of this!

I submit that Finnegans Wake is the exception proving that some books are specifically written "to be over-analysed for decades by obsessives."
Really sounds like you'd be happiest at a large, well established corporation.

I've been in the startup world as well, really didn't like all the things you listed that are so prevalent in 'start up culture'.

I've been working as a senior engineer at a large financial institution for about a year. Programmers are not seen as these people who are expected to work insane hours under tremendous pressure. But they are seen as very valuable staff: our company recently decided they were a software company first, and a financial company second.

While the problems we're solving might not be as sexy as the Hot-New-Thing (we've yet to do anything with machine learning), they're very challenging and incredibly important -- not only to the company's bottom line but also to the millions of customers using our applications.

Sure, there's years of technical debt not everyone is a talented, brilliant programmer. But we do some amazing work and the many decades of experience the organisation has in HR makes for a very enjoyable, engaging and challenging workplace.
General public knows what Wi-Fi is, "radio waves in the 2.4GHz band" not so much.
Exactly.

It's odd how some people can clearly see (and acknowledge) these things, while others seem literally unable to see them, almost as if they have some sort of a psychological filter hiding portions of the full spectrum of reality. I wonder if I suffer from the same thing, but different portions of the spectrum. I find it an interesting and useful way in which to observe the world and disagreements between people.

Perhaps? Something like sunscreen? 2.4 GHz is the frequency at which water resonates so our bodies are already giant optimal absorbers of wifi energey, I wonder if anything would help.
The purpose of opt-out is:

device owner decides when to opt-out
device owner does not need to explain why

Defaults serve common requirements. Opt-out serves everything else. At the scale of billions of devices, there can be millions of "edge cases" which need to opt-out of defaults, for contextual and time-variable reasons.
Law enforcement already can get this data from carriers.

This allows first responders to get the information from people calling 911. That’s a good thing!
"Google clearly did something about the issue of how to create a filtered experience for children, by creating YouTube Kids."

Which, if you had read the article, or the one that proceeded it, or even used the app at all, you would know it's absolute garbage, and makes the problem worse. Google is not using human curators for YouTube Kids, they are trying to use automation, which is why all these things are in an app for kids.
I dont think it’s making any claims, for or against, other EM frequencies. It’s just that their study was specific to Wi-fi, so that’s what they’re reporting on.

Maybe they chose wifi in particular because it’s more relatable to the common person and quite ubiquitous on its own. They could draw more expansive conclusions in the future, if they want to. Or other curious scientists can pose that question and design an experiment / meta-analysis to answer it.
Interesting idea about "Guerrilla testing"
Very interesting, thanks for the detailed information. I will need to read up more on this. It sounds like a good case study. Cheers.
Show HN: Crowdsourced misinformation tagging
In the mid-eighties, you could ask any BITNET machine, anywhere in the world, who was logged on. You could then send any of them a message. I did, and had interesting correspondence thereafter with people thousands of kilometers away.
In general, higher frequency implies higher energy, all things being equal. X-rays and gamma rays are very high frequency and therefore high-energy, and no one would dispute their deleterious effect on human health. However, a typical X-ray is somewhere around 30 petahertz (10^16) to 30 exahertz (10^19).

Compare to 5GHz WiFi (10^6). We're not sure if this is physiologically relevant because the relationship between energy and health effects is not linear, and different tissues react in different ways. It's worth looking into, though my personal feeling is given the ubiquity of such radiation, we should be seeing a lot more effects and they should be measurable.
In order of increasing sophistication of argument:

- Your phone sends your broad location to your provider constantly, and your precise location (when enabled) to tons of applications. If you are worried about LEO having your location, 911 services is not the first battleground I would choose.

- There could be a legal argument, I assume, that calling 911 acts as consent of the precise tracking of location for the purposes of emergency response, while blanket collection without a warrant would be a violation of civil liberties.
I had to make a 999 call a few years back because I saw a woman faint and bang her head on a concrete pavement. Although I was in the local area which I know very well, it was really difficult - when put on the spot in an emergency - to describe my exact location.
It's exactly the same in the west. The difference is that it's generally more discreet and requirements for the directness with which one must "know someone" are more strict and "knowing someone" and "favors" are much harder to apply across departments/organizations. We're not talking Chicago or rural counties in the deep south here, this is how things work in your run of the mill state and local government.
Isn't that because most of the spam centers simply get blocked?

> What about the Persian Gulf naming "dispute"?

Silly dispute, but much less stupid. The Persian/Arabian Gulf dispute is the product of an ongoing and relatively-new geopolitical tension. Both sides have military assets in the Gulf, and those assets threaten a major trading corridor. As a result, there is a genuine threat of one side seizing strategic ground from the other. Neither side is losing economic activity as a result of the naming dispute per se. (Lots of other things would need to be resolved before they could trade with and invest in each other.) And given the lack of intermingling (or common allies), they can each call it what they want without the other side noticing.
Get one of those credit card-sized phones like AIEK just for 911? They should be able to call 911 even without SIM card.
Hi! I work at Pulumi and have been using it to standup and manage all of our service infrastructure.

> How does Pulumi keep track of which services are launched, especially during testing/development

Each Pulumi program is ran within the context of "a stack". The stack is essentially a collection of cloud resources. So when the Pulumi program runs, it will create resources that aren't in the stack, or update existing ones.

So if you create any resources during dev/testing, you just need to `pulumi destroy` those stacks and all of the cloud resources will be reclaimed.

This, IMHO, is one of Pulumi's best features. In that it makes it super-easy to create your own instance of a cloud application. For example, I have my own development instance of app.pulumi.com by just creating my own Pulumi stack and rerunning the same application.

> How does it determine the optimal size of instances/volumes/etc to launch?

It doesn't. The Pulumi program ran determines what resources to create. So you are left to configure, tune or tweak that as makes sense.
One way to teach reading backwards is to start by creating a personal alphabet together with the student, from first principles.

Make up symbols for various words. This gets cumbersome when you have words like peace, happy, glad, joyful, nice, etc.

To solve for that, make up symbols for each sound. Then start writing new words by assembling the custom symbols you made. The problem you run into is that books/articles/internet aren't printed in your symbols, and no one you know can read them.

Solve for that by introducing the (English/Spanish/Korean/etc) alphabet and the sounds it makes. Write simple words together. Then read simple words together. Then expand.

> Now with the new "deal" they will take the name North Macedonia but they strictly mention that they do not have any relation to the Ancient Makedonas. So at the end of the day, why didnt the two goverment or EU or UN take 20 historians and ask them, "guys do they bare the right to have that name?" Whatever the historians say should be the verdict.

The name Macedonia expanded to cover the modern country of Macedonia sometime during the Roman Empire. The historians (well, everyone but the Greeks) would all agree that there is absolutely no issue with calling the modern country of Macedonia from a historical naming perspective. Sure, there's confusion between the Slavic-speaking Macedonians and the Hellenic-speaking Ancient Macedonians, but this is far from the only instance of the same name referring to completely different entities.
Maybe you just don't want your location ever being sent to a gov agency no matter your predicament.
There's no such thing as an anonymous cellphone call. Period.

If you want to report organized crime that involves the upper echelons of power, don't use cellphones at all.
I don't think it's possible to make an anonymous 911 call unless you're using a public phone. I think this is ok, since 911 is specifically for emergencies and you generally want the police/EMS to know where you are immediately since seconds can count. I think of it a bit like implied consent in first aid: by calling 911 you are inherently consenting for your location to be shared since it is likely you are in some form of distress requiring that information.

You're mentioning things like organized crime reporting, which are not emergencies. In that case, I'd expect someone to talk to someone in the police department in person, or through an intermediary lawyer - not 911.

edit: added the implied consent thought

He has been charged with fraud (Betrug) and causing false entries to be made in public records (mittelbare Falschbeurkundung) [1].

This is not surprising, because a hard requirement for pretrial detention [1] is that it is highly likely that the suspect committed a criminal offense [2]. The risk of either flight or obstruction of justice is an additional requirement on top of him being a suspect.

Honestly once you get into the groove the rejections really don't matter anymore. I've been rejected from companies that I forgot I even interviewed with - just gotta push forward and play the numbers game.

That said, getting rejected from a company that you had your sights on... that does suck, at first. But usually you can apply again in a year.
If it is a 911 call then I would imagine the location of the call would always be required to help with the emergency services. I couldn't see that giving away a persons identity as you would naturally expect the 911 call to be the same proximity as the incident being reported.

For other types of reports where you have the luxury of calling from an alternative location, you might call the local police or other services rather than the national emergency number (or at least that is how the emergency services are designed to operate in the UK)

However if anonymity is your primary concern then you're much better off using a burner or pay phone rather than your primary handset - regardless of the number you choose to dial.
That's the wrong question.

A better question could be: Can we replace it with something better?

Just like we are replacing combustion engines with electric engines.

I thought this was going to be about the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleocene%E2%80%93Eocene_Therm...) or (and?) the clathrate gun hypothesis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis). Sobering stuff, particularly heartbreaking for parents of young children.

edit: this is getting downvoted, so perhaps it's a miscommunication. I am most worried about heat waves and disrupted weather patterns causing more common crop failures and the geopolitical stress/conflict that will lead to. You can see the beginnings of this in Syria, Yemen, and various N. African countries where climate change induced drought was the underlying cause for the civic unrest. Look at the migrant populations fleeing these areas. I don't mean anything melodramatic, just that this will be a period of hardship and suffering greater than what we've become accustomed to in recent history.
