Right, but if you've already paid I don't see why you'd want to turn ads back on? You've already fulfilled your moral duty to reward them.
Actually this should be an act of "good faith" where you are adding a layer of security to your account and not about making even more harm to your account.
>Researchers should embrace negative results instead of accentuating the positive

The problem starts here. Most researchers would love to show their negative results, they're well aware of the problem. But they need to publish, they need grants, they need money which is outcome independent. They need an alternative reality where negative results and reproducibility studies make money.

As it stands you get money for publishing praise, a lot of industrially sponsored medical research is just "9/10 doctors recommend x" advertising.

We need to instate the rule that only preregistered studies can be published or at least used by the FDA as for decisions.

Right now you can conduct 1000 studies until you find a handful which randomly show the result you want.
It would be really surprising if that was a facebook only thing. For starters Google pesters me at least as much to add my phone number to secure my account.
I first heard about OYO through a friend who shared this livemint article:

https://www.livemint.com/Companies/7CN7u5d4i3bfYgBAZLdLpM/Wi...

The article paints a terrible picture of a guy who has embraced the - fake it, till you make it mantra. Lied about Thiel scholarship, best selling books and even screwing his partners.
People still do that when you point out that using a phone number as a required identifier (WhatsApp, Signal, etc.) gives every 'free' service a near perfect unique identifier that's the same for all services used by that person. Ideal for cross-service collation.

Who wants a social security number when you've got someone's phone number?
I just ran both UNMS and the UniFi controller on a gcp instance (free credits). Their software is unconsistent though (the fact that there’s separate UNMS for the edgerouter and UniFi for the aps should already tell you that) but for example: the UNMS container sets up letsencyrpt etc but unifi does not.

Had to modify it to mount bind a shared cert location.
That's a bit paradox, isn't it?

If the only allowed way to change the rules is in response to behavior you deem unhealthy to society, how can we should not interfere if the rules have not been broken?

And deeming something as being unhealthy to society is a sort of process of dislike in a subjective notion since there is no objective way for a society to be unhealthy.
Yes, it teaches you problem solving.

Concepts like encapsulation can be applied to business units - when you see communication between people I see API's/Interface boundaries.

Debugging has provided me with an "introspection" capability where I can step logically through a problem and divide and conquer an issue into smaller steps.

I used the binary search algorithm to eliminate causes in a chemical system I was debugging once - people who do not know binary search would have almost certainly tried exhaustive enumeration, which is much slower and resource intensive.

System programming shows you the importance of buffers, backpressure and feedback loops, I use this to manage cash flow through my company.

Programming is actually learning to think. The "coding" aspect is just an implementation.

Once you get some serious experience programming (you get past learning all the syntax and learn a few different languages) the abstract concepts become clearer, and you can apply them anywhere
Mikhail Lesin, Putin's press minister from 1999 to 2004, was found dead in his hotel room in Washington, DC in 2015[1]:

> The US government ruled Mikhail Lesin’s death an accident, but multiple intelligence and law enforcement officials suspect it was a Russian hit.

> Vladimir Putin’s former media czar was murdered in Washington, DC, on the eve of a planned meeting with the US Justice Department, according to two FBI agents whose assertions cast new doubts on the US government’s official explanation of his death.

> Mikhail Lesin’s battered body was discovered in his Dupont Circle hotel room on the morning of Nov. 5, 2015, with blunt-force injuries to the head, neck, and torso. After an almost yearlong "comprehensive investigation," a federal prosecutor announced last October that Lesin died alone in his room due to a series of drunken falls “after days of excessive consumption of alcohol.” His death was ruled an "accident," and prosecutors closed the case.

> “Lesin was beaten to death,” one of the FBI agents said. “I would implore you to say as much. There seems to be an effort here to cover up that fact for reasons I can't get into.”

> He continued: “What I can tell you is that there isn’t a single person inside the bureau who believes this guy got drunk, fell down, and died. Everyone thinks he was whacked and that Putin or the Kremlin were behind it.”

You can even do a search by mobile number, by typing a mobile number into the search without pressing enter.

Depending on the owner's security settings, Facebook will often suggest the profile of the person in the type-aheaded search results.
Goggle’s business model was built around advertisers. And they are hungry for data.

Privacy is Google’s Achilles heel. They have no other option than to collect and sell our data.
At Facebook's scale even the scraps can be worth millions.

And the sad truth is that the vast majority of people will not be deterred by, be aware of, or even understand the fact that Facebook is abusing their phone number in this way, so as far as Facebook is concerned it's a small bump in the long road to increased profitability.
I faced this too. I now tend to close the site if it presents a google recaptcha.

Also gmail doesn't work nicely in firefox. Lot of lag/delay compared to chrome.

I don't think you even know what your point is. Population density of an entire state has absolutely nothing to do with "nobody" wanting to live in the state. If Alaska decided to merge with California the population density would plummet and would fail your criterion despite the fact that no people actually moved.
Basically, using side-channel RF leakage to eavesdrop the eavesdropper who uses your side-channel RF leakage to eavesdrop you... Reminded me the old "radar-detector-detector detector" hoax edit from Wikipedia (https://www.reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/4a3tfm/in_1982_t...). But unlike other EM side-channel attack, RF local-oscillator leakage is a historically known attack vector since WW2.

> This RF leakage, however, is extremely weak and buried under noise and other transmitted signals that can be 3-5 orders of magnitude larger. Hence, it is missed by today’s radios. We design and build Ghostbuster, the first device that can reliably extract this leakage, even when it is buried under ongoing transmissions, in order to detect the hidden presence of eavesdroppers.
I'm fairly self conscious of the fact that I am at least 3 or 4 different people.

My "work" personality is a completely different one to my "Home" personality.

and My Online and internal personalities are all different people as well.

which one is the real me? shrug they're all real, just used for different purposes. I'm fairly sure I'm not unique in this, but then I suspect I'm better at compartmentalising than most others so maybe I am.
For years now my favourite way to deploy my own 'side-projects' has been Dokku. It is like having your own Heroku on a single machine. Very neat, but no clustering.

Lately I have been playing with kubernetes and now docker swarm. I must say that I too find kubernetes to be too heavy (feature- and concept-wise) for the smaller scale things that I am up to: I have to read up too much, learn too many new concepts, write too many config files.

Docker swarm is a lot more appropriate for scaling those side-projects to a slightly bigger step, however, I have concerns about the longevity of the project. Will Docker Swarm still exist in 5 years?
>> And Facebook is truly the only company that’s singularly about people. Not about selling devices. Not about delivering goods with less friction. Not about entertaining you. Not about helping you find information. Just about people.

That statement shows how far leaders at Facebook have disassociated themselves with what's really happening and the negative impact the cause. It was about the people, like 10 years ago. Now it's all about ads! Ads! People are just a tool to sell more ads.

This is not really true. Character based LCDs have data signals which are latched by an external "enable" pin. You can feed the commands and characters in at any speed you want, or at irregular intervals if you like.
Author here. Thanks for the kind words. It was fun to do, and I just wish I could have touched on stuff like FAST vs SLOW, more about the weird display system, etc... but TBH FAST doesn't really get on well with modern monitors and video capture systems and I was terrified of getting 40 minutes into it and then discovering that all my captured video was unusable!

Oh, yeah: ZX81 BASIC doesn't support multiple statements per line, and the IF...THEN statement doesn't support ELSE. Writing complex logic on it can be a challenge!
For completeness, that was when the summer sun was shining directly on the enclosure in the hottest part of the day, during a country-wide hot spell. Still, no airflow, heat generation, etc.

Every day, cut out. When it cooled down, it worked again. This continued for about two months, then they failed.
All my personal details on Facebook are (and have always been) false. My phone number is the number of a hotel in Monte Carlo. When Facebook nagged me to give them my mobile number for 2fa I ignored them. My friends thought I was crazy. I know it's not exactly gracious of me but feeling very self righteous right about now.
> Nobody invests $100 into a company so that a year from now it is $100, even if they get a couple $2.50 checks throughout the year on top of that.

Why not? If it's somewhat reliable (in the long run, averaged out), that's a ROI of 2.5%, which is not too bad I think.

His statement came very surprising after years of beeing a different opinion. He just changed overnight I guess? Also his statement contained both UTF-8 and ASCII quote characters which is at least an indication that this was not one person writing it.

"Worthy Goal" Has that worked anywhere in practice? Who is underrepresented right now and why? Do we know?

The type of diversity archived by a CoC like this is litteraly skin deep anyways and might cost you diversity of thought. We already see "wrong" think beeing excluded.

Thanks so much for your feedback. I just deployed the new US-to-international plans earlier today and haven't had a chance to user test it yet. That experience is totally not the best right now. I'm working on a full-on international release. I'll be reaching out to you to try and convince you to do a user study in exchange for free photos and aim to release mid-late next week.
There are basically 4 billion IPv4 addresses, practically 2.5 billion. If there were only 16 million they'd have run out really quickly.
I'm saying it's already viable and as such handles the scale we have today. Complains like "but it can't scale to all of the payments in the world" is severely missing the point.

Also we can already achieve PayPal like transaction amounts today, with Bitcoin Cash having in practice 20% of throughput. The limiting factor to scale further is software limited, not hardware. Furthermore it's possible to reach VISA levels of throughput with further work.

Scaling is one of the hardest issues for sure, but dismissing the viability of cryptocurrency because of it is naive.
^ This is what I meant by it. Not corroborated by any scientific study, just a field report.
Not exactly what you asked for, but for what it's worth Firefox will happily accept and open a list of URLs that you drag and drop from your text file into the browser. I just tried it.
Question : this implies that Oracle 'knows' that you're using their JDL in production. Which implies a spy of some sort. Which is barely legal, is it ? unless it's at least duly stated in the licence.
Is it so ?
What you're sort of saying, is that you show different sides of yourself depending on what role you're currently playing and who your audience is. I think we all do that to varying degrees. Some more than others.
Ah, must be the second Stargate ;)
I used them a few months ago, before startup school. I can't remember the turnaround time as I had a wedding on the horizon and that time is a blur, but I remember it being reasonable and delightful. It's totally worth the price. Doing paperwork is the last thing I want to be doing. On my last startup I must've filed for tax extensions for almost 10 years in a row. I love Stripe for removing all of those headaches.
> The thing is that it is very hard to tell, early on, if you have a potential $10M or $10B company.

I (kind of) disagree with one part of your comment. YC can't tell whether a startup has the potential to be a $10B kind of company, but a person starting a company can certainly decide whether they want to go for a $10B company.

Many people do - a lot of startup founders are trying to be the next Google. But some of them are not, in which case YC isn't right for them (and they'd probably need to pick the right idea/product/company to work on that can succeed without needing to be a $10B company).

Btw, I think you make a great point about Microsoft/BASIC!

They own the trademark, they own the TCK and Java itself is a huge amount of tech, not something easy to fork.

This should have been obvious for anyone who is paying attention.

When data collection and advertising companies such as Facebook (and Google) push a feature actually beneficial to users so aggressively – such as 2FA – during the sign-up process; you'd have to be naive to think it's for your benefit.

It's not 2007 any more... tech savvy users should know better than to trust such organisations with any scrap of additional personal information than absolutely necessary.

> Scala programs usually are comparably easy to debug and run as expected as soon as they get compiled successfully.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Scala is among the most difficult languages to master. From experience, a successful compilation do not shield you from bugs and runtime exceptions. NullPointerException being my favourite, as a reminder that lots of libraries are built on top of Java's ecosystem, and thus plagued with the same curse.

And even if you're toying with pure Scala code, without any dependencies, it's still possible to end up in a state where the given traceback would be absolutely useless and full of (Anonymous) calls. Good luck with that.
Be wary of your own self-delusions. Sometimes they might be useful. Other times, they might be detrimental.
His statement contained both UTF-8 and ascii quote chars. That is at least an indication that parts where written by someone else. At best this was a lawyer checking and providing feedback to his statement. At worst this was someone forcing him to write this.

It is also suspicious to me how this change was seemingly not discussed in any way prior and that it was a very sudden change for him.
I work on Stripe Atlas. Your question is answered in a bit more detail here: https://stripe.com/docs/atlas#should (and the answer below that one).

We have a number of product decisions to make about how we do things, so the design center of Stripe Atlas is Internet companies. If one incorporates e.g. a Delaware LLC through Stripe Atlas, that’s an LLC. LLCs can e.g. own apartment buildings. We generally assume you probably won’t use us to form an LLC to own and operate an apartment building. There is, at present, no plan to have an Atlas meetup to swap tips on finding great exterminators. But if e.g. you sell SaaS, we have a lot to say about selling SaaS, and your peers in Atlas will run businesses similar in character to yours.

Many Stripe Atlas companies sell physical products; most of them are technically-enabled or sold over the Internet. If we were hypothetically not able to support a product business, it would not be because it is physical, it would be for one of the reasons on the link above.
Rodrigo Duterte.

Strongmen often enjoy broad popular support. They get things done. Mussolini made the trains run on time.

A cult of personality is how an authoritarian leader defends themselves from being overthrown by other members of their regime. They ensure that they are associated with all the good that their government does, while deflecting blame for the bad towards scapegoats.

Worrying about fairness or the rule of law is a luxury. A lot of people just see a weak and ineffectual government replaced with one that actually does something for them and they don't care how it was achieved.

I wish you were right. It would be much easier to defend against authoritarians if they were unpopular.
You're saying that Google might be reading my blog posts if I use Google Docs? Somehow crawling it for content, maybe?

>does it always take a close call like this (or worse) to bring up such a proposal?

At this point yes. There is a saying that "FAA regulations are written in blood" as a result.

It seems conservative on the surface but at this point the current system is incredibly safe and making changes without clear huge upsides isn't worth the risk of unintended consequences.

Pilot attention is at a premium during landing. The computer shouting "localizer" at you during an approach because you're misaligned might be the straw that breaks the cognitive burden's back while you're trying to deal with another crisis.

I still don't quite understand why Docker Swarm is so overlooked. It essentially offers easy-to-manage orchestration while providing most of the core features that many people are looking for. It even makes use of compose files, which many developers are already writing. Given that most of the complaints about Kubernetes relate to its complexity and the need for a Kubernetes "expert" to look after said complexity, I'm somewhat baffled by how many people just totally overlook Swarm as if it wasn't an option.
Towards Language Agnostic Universal Representations
> There are ~44 people worth $20 billion or more (one in 168 million people). 22 of those people come from the US (one in 15 million).

This strongly suggests that those 22 people got their wealth more from their location in the US (eleven times the world rate!) than their personal qualities. (More accurately, that without the wealth attributable purely to being located in the US, 20 of those people would not have crossed the $20 billion threshold. But since I see at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Americans_by_net_worth that the 15th richest person in the US has more than $38 billion, the wealth attributable to location would in fact appear to be the majority of the wealth.)

On the pretty reasonable assumption that this also applies to Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, their correct comparison pool would be the US population, and they are not at the one in a billion level.

On a more fundamental level, we can easily calculate the odds of 350,000,000 people having a certain number of 1e-9 people among them. As I make it, the odds of 0 one-in-a-billion individuals in a population of 350,000,000 are 70.47% (0.999999999^350000000). The odds of exactly one such individual are 24.66% (0.999999999^349999999 × 0.000000001 × 350000000). So from first principles the odds of a population the size of the US having two or more one-in-a-billion individuals along any given dimension are less than 5%. (And a third one, like Jeff Bezos, would eat up another 4.32% of the probability space.)

It's not realistic to call these people "literally one in a billion". They aren't.

The hashing is a defense in depth measure to avoid handing the attacker addresses to attack on a platter. So it does make sense to use a more modern hash so it takes more than a second to brute-force the whole address space but that's all you can do really. Most of these hosts are going to be in the same subnet anyway so a smart scan is never going to take long to retrieve most addresses.
> 95% of the people who leave RSS, and I ask everybody who cancels why they're canceling, leave it because they get their news from social media. Social filtering provides a higher signal than the manual process. I don't blame them.

I wonder if it would make sense for RSS readers to include ActivityPub support (or vice versa). Obviously most people's friends aren't on Mastodon or whatever, but it would be cool to see the social feed alongside RSS updates.
IMHO, the conclusion is that HashKnownHosts is as harmfull than usefull because it creates a false sentiment of security.
