I have a French press, too. I like it, although I am not sure I would agree that it's less messy than an Aeropress, and I think it works best with darker roasts than lighter ones. But, none of the "good coffee gadgets" address the "I want something faster and more convenient than a Mr. Coffee" market that Keurig is going for. I'm not convinced you can get Keurig speed and convenience and get good coffee.

Why can't my provider, Telus, block spoofed caller Id. For email we have SPF and Dmarc, I haven't had an email with spoofed from address hit my inbox in years. Similar to the internet the phone system is connected through peering, sources of spam should be dropped like bitcanal.

Apparently not. Cigarette use was banned by law. E-cigarette use was only banned by convention or airline policy.
In contrast, I can't say I've ever heard of seats in cars having this problem. Is it because plane seats are highly optimised for weight?

'Oumuamua is red and headed toward Pegasus (the winged horse) after a very long journey starting longtime in spacetime ago. It is wildly tumbling off-kilter and potentially creating a magnetic field that would be useful for interplanetary spacetravel.

They're probably pointing us to somewhere else from somewhere else.

If this is any indication of the state of another civilization's advanced physics, and it missed us by a wide margin, they're probably laughing at our energy and water markets; and indicating that we should be focused on asteroid impact avoidance (and then we will really laugh about rockets and red electromagnetic kinetic energy machines and asteroid mining).

I'm impressed the plane flew for 3 hours without getting destablized and crashing....

Air India has the worst safety reputation in India, and several accidents / incidents. I flew Spice Jet a few times over the last few weeks when I was there visiting. Spice Jet is like India's Virgin America. Service was excellent and I did not experience any issues while flying.
Python can do something similar albeit far simpler via packaging as an executable zipfile. Just structure everything you need in a directory and zip up with __main__.py in the root. All resources are available as an in-memory binary stream, including individual source .py files. Of course if you want to package something like a C library, you need to unpack that to disk to be able to access it with ctypes.
Go buy a sim from another state and then you know not to answer any of those calls.
Previous largeish tasks were found to be of questionable value after they were completed, by other mgrs.

I like my team and manager, I just don't think they have a lot of time for me or time to think about what I'm assigned and whether it's worth doing. Lots of new ppl on the team recently. It's also possible that I'm just not asking enough questions. I think it is a bit of both.
The fact that this is even a thing that people need to cobble together is a sign of market failure in the POTS business. It's also a sign of total abdication of duty on the part of regulators. They made a big show of busting software pirates, but I have yet to see any robocallers getting frog marched. This, despite the serious threat they pose to the integrity of a vital telecommunications system.

The other photo posted here shows that it was a rather thin brick wall too:

I've contemplated an Asterisk-like system that intercepts all incoming calls, and uses very long extensions (e.g., 7 or more digits.)

Every time I needed to give somebody my phone number, I would select an unused extension, add it to a white-list, and tell the recipient they could reach me at that particular extension.

Any incoming call that failed to enter a white-listed extension would be routed to a voice response menu that a real human could easily navigate, but a robocaller could not.

So far I haven't seen anything like this.
It says that Guile is an implementation of Scheme. Would that make it appropriate for a trip through the SICP?
I haven’t found this to be true. All I’ve seen is that people ask “what were you up to” and if you say “I wanted to take a sabattical and now I’m fully recharged and really excited to get back to work,” people’s reaction is “wow that’s awesome!” And it’s not a knock against you.
I'm happy to subsidize, you know, low-income moms who need nutrition benefits. Why the heck should I subsidize people who pack too much on domestic trips?
I believe they were banned by airlines specifically but I am not sure if they were federally banned - meaning I am not sure if you could actually get fined for just using one.
The ease of spoofing caller ID will be the downfall of POTS. Imagine what the web would be like if it didn't have HTTPS, that's where we're at with the telephone system. It's not just broken, it's actively hazardous.
US really just needs to adapt transparent pricing laws, like most of the civilized world. Yes, I know sales tax in various jurisdictions makes it impossible, but at least make them advertise the "all in" cost including any fees.
Again, appreciate the time taken to respond. I'll do my best to make this work out, this was my dream job before I joined.
Does this work for spoofed numbers? I thought if you call back you just get the person that got spoofed, not the actual spammer.

Hold space is actually a limited commodity.
Heated in that the air becomes warmer as it is compressed. But not the additionally-heated air provided the main cabin. Even so, at low air density even -30 would take a while to cool the large mass of bags.
Not at all. It's like saying "it doesn't matter what programming language you pick, the computer is still only going to execute the code you told it to".

Neither the GP, nor the original root of this thread are proposing that food choices are automatic, obvious, or don't have bearing on your weight/happiness/whatever; they're saying that food quantities (in calories) are the primary determinant of how much you weigh.

That's it. Narrow ruling, specific point; no "why don't you just"-ism or anything of the sort--or if it's there, I'm not seeing it.
The front cargo hold is heated with engine bleed air.
Moreover, from a security perspective since we're talking about TLS, "overspecified" and/or "redundant" lengths are just begging to be made inconsistent and a source of vulnerabilities.
Could be because people don't generally drive 40 year old cars! The aircraft in the first fatal link above was manufactured in 1979 and the seat failed in 2016; the second was manufactured in 1969 and crashed in 2014.

And because it would be less likely fatal in the car, so you'd be less likely to hear of it happening.

(Less likely fatal because car collisions are less fatal due to e.g. airbags, and less likely to impact terrain since it only takes a second to undo your car seatbelt, and because there's no pitch control to have messed up.)
Indeed, but it's either that or you deal with the dependencies at deploy, or you write your software to not have any dependencies.
A good cleanout a few times a year is great, but skipping meals and walking around hungry on a regular basis doesn't work for me at all.

3 reasonable sized meals a day with maybe a light snack is just right. No heavy meals, not too much carbs (but not no carbs either). Plenty of vegetables and fruit and protein. Regularly, in small amounts through the day. Keeps me at the right weight, blood sugar not spiked, not off.

Being hungry I have trouble focusing. And mood gets off. I make worse decisions.

Not sure why this fad is so promoted lately, maybe it works for some people but not me and "our ancestors starved" isn't really a good reason to torture oneself for no discernible reason in my opinion.
You can just walk in after business class and they’ll let you in without hassling about you getting ahead of your next-to-toilet class.

Spirit airlines makes like 10% profit margin. Forcing them to absorb baggage fees isn't going to come out of their margins, it's going to come out of increases in base fare.

As to subsidies: you usually can't control whether you need the police or not. You generally can control how much you pack. My wife and I didn't even pack a check-in on when we took the kid to Disney World recently. Why should I pay more for people who have to have … whatever the hell it is that people pack in a checked bag for a domestic flight.
What if cigarettes were $20 a pack? Would that help?

> I interpret "dead" in this context as "very few people are using it, and usage is shrinking".

Is it shrinking? My podcast apps use RSS feeds to locate episodes. Debian uses sourceforge's RSS feeds to locate updated sources. A published, chronological list of events or things is not an uncommon thing to want, and as the parent said unless something better comes along RSS/Atom is it.
It's such bullshit that they put the info into a card that disappears street the first time you read it.
They're cutting their own throat, then. Even though my Asterisk system blocks (and records) multiple robocalls daily, I finally got off my butt and ditched my AT&T landline for good. I should have done that a decade ago. Bonus: I'm paying less for VoIP service than what AT&T charged just for Caller ID. My monthly home phone bill has gone from about $45 to under $10.

I also got my parents to ditch their landline as well... so that's two customers that AT&T no longer has.

I guess it's time to yank the FXO modules off my TDM400P card and sell them to someone who could use them. :)
> prohibits passengers from using mobile phones to make voice calls during flight;

Interesting... on 9/11 the voice calls from passengers to their loved ones are part of the history. Not like a law is going to stop you... but this feels like an odd thing to make illegal. And what about VoIP?

Starter pistols can be used too instead of a ‘real’ gun. At the destination they keep the bag secure for you to pickup, no getting it off the baggage carousels.

Of course some destinations won’t let you have a gun...
That helps protect your baggage from theft; it doesn't protect your baggage from damage.

20 percent of fuel is used from take off to cruise altitude. On a plane like a 777, that still leaves a very substantial amount of fuel onboard. However on a smaller plane like a 737, you don't have to circle for too long before you're below MLW.
Software pirates threatened corporations. Thus, the corporations paid the politicians handsomely to pursue them to literal ends of the Earth (Laos and Cambodia for Gottfrid and Fredrik at Pirate Bay)

Robocallers just threaten consumers. Corporations truly could not care less, it seems.
TLS 1.3 capable servers also scribble "DOWNGRD" in part of the random field if a client message says it can't do TLS 1.3. If a TLS 1.3 client sees that unusual "random" choice it knows bad guys tampered with the connection (attempted a downgrade attack). If bad guys just change the values, they won't match between client and server and the connection aborts. Older clients think nothing of the unusual random value and carry on as before.

I haven't looked at the spec in detail, but does this mean that random generation has to specifically exclude that "sentinel value", lest it accidentally occur?
Toilets in the flight will be absolutely filthy during the last few hours of the flight.
You can bootstrap fresh servers using PXE. The problem with BMC is that it never goes away even after you've booted your system. BMC owns your system and there's no way to completely disable it. Options for disabling it simply control the BMC's software interfaces, and they only work to the extent that the software is bug free. It's like the infamous cPanel, but for hardware--it's a juicy target that you're stuck with.
Would some qualifiers help?

Like, "calorie count is the primary determinant of weight gain, given nearly all typical human eating habits"?

Or "calorie count is the primary determinant of weight gain assuming you don't deliberately bypass your digestive system (likely inflicting discomfort and/or harm on yourself in the process) by consuming diuretics or indigestible food combinations"?

Even in both of those cases, it seems like the general point is still pretty much intact.
Even if you manually browse lots of pages in Google or Amazon, you will eventually be presented with a captcha because it thinks you are a bot.

I think you're missing one piece of this picture. If there is unused space/weight capacity, the airline fills that space with cargo from traditional/package carriers. So there are third parties, unseen to you as an airline passenger, competing with you on price to put stuff in that cargo hold.
> almost nobody home-cooking and then bringing in a boxed lunch

What? As an exchange student (high school) my (japanese/host) mum totally spoiled me with lavish bento box lunches every day - as I assume she used to do for my older host siblings. I seem to recall she used to prepare a lunch for my host dad too.

(that said, thankfully, Japan's been progressing to a more equal society, so hopefully the man work/woman work at home divide is disappearing - which likely means ain't no-one got spare time to prepare box lunches - hence more of a market opening up).

A bento box is very much a "make at home, bring to work thing" that just happens to be available to buy. Like a burger fried in the back yard vs various inferior commercial offerings ranging from burger king to passable restaurant grade burgers..
Maybe.

Or maybe there were listening devices in the embassy that captured the evidence and Turkey is seeking a plausible explanation for how the audio evidence was captured.
I'll say, I've only really done multi-cloud for cases where I liked different products on different clouds -- the main app and data on AWS, but using Google's data stack (BigQuery >> Redshift imho).

In terms of reliability, I think the first step is multi-region -- being able to failover to another region should your primary region have major failage. But assuming you can do that, doing multi-cloud for the same thing shouldn't be so hard provided you have some sort of common open source runtime to run on both platforms.

The concept is nice, but every time somebody has tried to implement it there has been some miserable failure either from a business or technical sense. See the Be File System for the former, and WinFS for the latter.

In fact, the only successful implementation of the concept (even if only partially) I've seen is the object-oriented storage on IBM i (formerly i5/OS and OS/400).

In what way do mainframe file systems differ? As far as I'm aware, they largely use heirarchical file systems, like the confusingly named HFS or ZFS -- both of which are colliding acronyms from within IBM. HFS is the older Hierarchical File System, and ZFS being the newer z/Architecture File System.

As far as I'm aware, the main difference is support for record oriented files, but the naming and lookup isn't so different.
Honestly sounds like Amazon.
Reminds me of this legendary but true story about Lisp Machine hacking I posted a few years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7879364

Precisely! When Lisp Machine programmer look at a screen dump, they see a lot more going on behind the scenes than meets the eye.

I'll attempt to explain the deep implications of what the article said about "Everything on the screen is an object, mouse-sensitive and reusable":

There's a legendary story about Gyro hacking away on a Lisp Machine, when he accidentally trashed the function cell of an important primitive like AREF (or something like that -- I can't remember the details -- do you, Scott? Or does Devon just make this stuff up? ;), and that totally crashed the operating system.

It dumped him into a "cold load stream" where he could poke around at the memory image, so he clamored around the display list, a graph of live objects (currently in suspended animation) behind the windows on the screen, and found an instance where the original value of the function pointer had been printed out in hex (which of course was a numeric object that let you click up a menu to change its presentation, etc).

He grabbed the value of the function pointer out of that numeric object, poked it back into the function cell where it belonged, pressed the "Please proceed, Governor" button, and was immediately back up and running where he left off before the crash, like nothing had ever happened!

Here's another example of someone pulling themselves back up by their bootstraps without actually cold rebooting, thanks to the real time help of the networked Lisp Machine user community:

Indeed, that works great for all the people who pack and measure exactly their bags a month in advance when they buy their ticket so they know the exact dimensions.

In reality, no one knows the dimensions of their bags until the night before, and that's too late for the airline to tell them "no" or add charges reasonably.
Facebook Says Russian Firms ‘Scraped’ Data, Some for Facial Recognition
What do you guys think of the idea of companies giving their employees the option of taking (up to) one year long unpaid sabbaticals?

It would cost the company next to nothing, and it would be a preferable alternative to the employee quitting due to stress or burnout.

For the employee it significantly lowers their risk of unemployment. They can either 1. go to a better company, or 2. return to their old company.

In the case of US companies, there's also the added benefit of the possibility of the employee and employer coming to a mutually beneficial arrangement on maintaining the employee's healthcare plan during the sabbatical.
It's honestly kind of sad. If huge municipal websites, government websites etc. are able to follow GDPR then surely a news website can too and not only that. There has been like two years to prepare for it too. There are no excuses of why you're not compliant unless you really don't want to be compliant.
Robocall leave me messages. I get the Mandarin calls spoofing the SF consulate number, I get calls about lowering my rates, sometimes the contractor spammers leave me messages too.
There is an irony there. Or maybe it's a trap. We speak of naming things as akin to understanding them. And we have grown quite used to being able to control things we understand.

Yet, I am fairly confident we can name more things than we can control. So, I don't know why that is such a common misunderstanding. One I often have.
Even a single digit is sufficient to stop these bastards.

At least for now. I anticipate a cat-and-mouse game, and maybe the multiple-digit idea (or a more sophisticated CAPTCHA) might become necessary.
