You'd just need a "certificate authority" system like we have with domains. Companies that wish to use a "virtual" phone number register as such with the provider (they probably already do), and the provider keeps a whitelist of those, which is enforced crytographically. Email had the same problem before MX records.

Maybe the challenge is doing all this in such a way that's compatible with legacy systems, though I'd think all of the complexity would live on the business exchange servers and the network itself, so "dumb" phones shouldn't have to know the difference.

Either way, I've learned to never underestimate the laziness and capacity for anti-consumerism of telecom companies.
The government provides a ration, you can buy more food.

I'm not saying food in Cuba was available in the same kind of quantities and choices as in the states, but portions were almost on par (which is to say, enough to floor a European for several hours after a meal!)

The article even states that the primary weight problem faced in Cuba is over, not underweight people.
Personally I don't use Spotify because the interface is hostile to people who prefer listening to full albums, and I don't want to support a monoculture if I have an alternative (not that Apple is some great panacea for artists, of course).

All account validations for foreigners require the above hoops to be jumped through - at least as of yesterday when we were jumping through them to activate the account of two EU clients - chat only, not payments.
I may be incorrect (and I hope for any other foreigners wanting to use WeChat this is the case) - but I witnessed two data points to the contrary yesterday.
Then my point is equivalent to saying that the parent didn’t establish it as being addictive under that definition.

That's overly reductive. There are people making lifestyle changes and healthcare decisions in reaction to the results of their DNA test, so the accuracy of these tests may be more important than "woops, we placed you in the wrong European ethnic group".

And I guess we remove all oversight now because of a bad example? Pack it in, FDA. We're done monitoring food safety thanks to cookie banners.
You can't be serious, most of the world uses American websites in all kinds of market sectors.

That will reduce the random error, yes. But there's still the concern of systematic error, which has to be dealt with separately. If you're taking a biased sample to begin with, it doesn't matter how many times you repeat the test; the bias will still be there.

I would be interested to hear the ratio in other countries, my father who spends time in Taiwan mentioned that they subscribe antibiotics for almost everything, almost as we do for acetaminophen or Asprin.
While the parent has a valid point, I agree with you in the sense that such an attitude doesn't effectively convey the intended message. I think it's unrealistic to expect the average non-technical user to understand the distinction between HTTPS and something being "private".

That said, I don't really know of a better way to phrase it; describing this sort of stuff to non-technical users is a bit of a minefield, so I can certainly relate to the solution of "just assume the worst and nothing can go wrong", because if followed, it's unarguably the safest thing to do.

It's a solution in the same sense as "teaching abstinence to teenagers to avoid unwanted pregnancies" is, which is to say that it's largely ineffective at solving the problem, despite being the most effective of all options.
Vaping certainly does damage air quality by releasing ultafine aerosol particulate matter (also known as pm10 or pm2.5) [0]. It's worth noting that these are associated with respiratory distress and can contribute to stroke and heart attacks as well as asthma. In fact, we now have compelling epidemiological evidence that vaping almost doubles risk of cardiac events [1].

Think about it like this: would I want to run a marathon on a bad air day in China? Probably not.

Edit:
Study 1 focused on PM10 (particulate matter smaller than 10 microns) air quality levels, and not PM2.5. PM 10 tends to be associated with more acute respiratory distress, while PM2.5 is a more chronic threat [2]. Nevertheless, there is sufficient evidence that monitoring environmental PM10 levels remains an important public health metric.

I never claimed that. I think that's derailing the conversation. The point is that our cultural (and law enforcement) ideas around drugs are straight up delusional and entirely detached from reality.

Understanding the Universe Through Sacred Geometry and Quantum Entanglement
It doesn't misunderstand them. It knows exactly what it's doing. It relies on judges and juries misunderstanding science and statistics in order to get results favorable to the prosecutors.

Basically all forensic science has turned out to be crap or misapplication of good science except for DNA which a) exonerates a heck of a lot of people and b) was a concept that matured in biology before being adopted by forensic scientists.
My specific question is regarding the recurring "Defendants and their co-conspirators..." claim that everyone takes at face value with zero second thought. How did they identify with a high level of confidence who was behind all these accounts? I have only seen one reference to how this identification occurred, and it was based on IP address. Is that what this entire case rests on, yes or no?

There's nothing stopping me from making social media accounts and creating the visible impression of all sorts of things, but that doesn't make the visible impressions true.

It's depressing how widespread the resistance is to a simple request for evidence rather than allegations is in matters within the political realm, objectivity will soon be a thing of the past if we keep going like this.
Introduction to digital filters, with audio applications
think costco also has a lot of member benefits that are hard to match by amz. Gas, tires, glasses, travel, car wash, phrma/flu shots, just to name a few.

AMZ is a platform...quality is sometimes not guranteed. Costco, i know the product went through the buyers and QA and 'won' the limited shelf space costco has to offer and made it to the store, that makes me at least trust it somewhat.

Plus...at least now grocery is still mostly in physical stores.
Monopoly seems to refer more to "monopoly power" in general and the barriers to entry that exist to protect entrenched interests from competition. Duopolies and oligopolies all have a degree of "monopoly power" without being a true monopoly.
Exactly. This is the best comment.
So basically, the issue was that the settings screen in the Android app would toggle the "account is private" setting off when updating unrelated settings; however, the setting itself, if turned on, worked fine.

Eric Schmidt: "If you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place."

People have taken this different ways, but personally I think it's sage advice. We've lost our ability to keep secrets. Information wants to be free. We're terrible at digital security. Pretend everything you type into a computer is on the front page of the New York Times.
Does it work similarly on desktop platforms?
"Stronger" is...vague, and "vibrant" is very much subjective.

Either we protect privacy or we don't. There's no middle ground.
I strongly disagree. One of the most obvious (among many) differences we noticed when moving to the US from Europe is the taste of chicken meat. It just tastes very bland and almost chemical. Years later we discovered that (organic, etc) chicken at Whole Foods was better but still not perfect. I've confirmed similar issues with the taste of many vegetables (and I'm not even talking about tomatoes, those I can grow in my backyard and are delicious) and confirmed this with other immigrants.
It's funny that the article (http://augmentingcognition.com/ltm.html) displayed on polars feature page has this:

"I now believe memory of the basics is often the single largest barrier to understanding. If you have a system such as Anki for overcoming that barrier, then you will find it much, much easier to read into new fields."

Also I just made an account to say thank you - polar looks awesome. I just wanted to start using anki and stumbled upon it.

I have to second this. I recently lived in China for a few months. As long as you have an address, visa, and passport(and are willing to hand the Chinese government your social) it’s easy to get a bank account.

From https://investinganswers.com/ --

The marginal tax rate is the percentage of tax applied to your income for each tax bracket in which you qualify. In essence, the marginal tax rate is the percentage taken from your next dollar of taxable income above a pre-defined income threshold.

The marginal tax rate includes federal, state and local income taxes, as well as federal payroll and self-employment taxes. This differs from the average tax rate, which is the total tax paid as a percentage of total income earned.
I'm not saying that we should entirely disregard epistemology. After all, belief is necessary to make decisions, and thus to thrive. Although I think people should be mindful that knowledge may not be possible in actuality, just as modern physicists are mindful of relativity and quantum mechanics.
So this isn't an actual article about any such thing actually happening... It's a picture from the internet that has been around a few years of a car with a banner on the bumper that has a Little Bobby Tables-esque SQL injection string.
Couldn't you use `ExtractReturn` with a reference to the action creator when handing the actions in your reducers? I've done it in typescript and it makes things much more pleasant.
I'm surprised that one of the most effective strategies I've ever come across is not on the list.

The most effective strategy I have come across is to "change your identity". If you identify as an athlete, and you talk to yourself and others with that expectation, then that is much more effective than "I need to get in better shape".

When you identify with something it compels your actions, almost by default, much more than willpower alone.
The top post on notabug right now is "Tampermonkey script for auto-voting on notabug, lets level the playing field". The site has like 10 users and it's already destroyed by bots. Anarchy isn't a good approach to running a site if you want anything useful to come out of it.

I had a friend who was an SWO, was brilliant in school, extremely physically fit, spoke multiple languages, etc. He got out after the minimum enlistment and couldn't stop talking about how terrible the culture was and how you basically needed to do whatever it took in order to secure your next promotion.
Main criticisms from my side (that have not been discussed to death already):

- Why O2? Why not O3? You're tuning your code for maximum performance and then leave the optimizer halfway? That'll of course disadvantage code with more abstractions.

- Compile times are improved by dropping STL headers - that's why precompiled headers exist. Having that factored into the comparison would indeed be interesting, sadly this was not done.

- MSVC is slow in debug mode because it's doing every debug check it can. If that's not what you want, you can just change the iterator debug level. I was hoping the author would figure as much after finding the gcc/clang switches (and complaining that they were off by default - very ironic) with note 6 but no dice.

- Regarding the choice of title: Almost all performance improvements were of algorithmic/data structure nature. That's completely natural for the level of performance tuning here. And I wouldn't really care if those specialized implementations are in C++ or C, do what you want. Just don't implement them in C and then draw conclusions from comparing them against the C++ STL under the flag of "Is C++ fast?". I think a better title for the article would've been "Are defaults fast?".
Eh, my experience with crypto libraries is that they're poorly written from a user perspective (regardless of if they do it right under the hood). The hardest parts of the Matasano security challenge are those that require me to get some off-the-shelf crypto library to perform as expected.

For example, Rust's main AES implementation requires you to delve into details you shouldn't care about in order to get it to work. It doesn't let you just pass in Vec<u8> bytes and get Vec<u8> back out. It doesn't even let you put it through a converter functions to match the library's internal representation.

No, you have to learn low level details of how to instantiate a special fixed-size mutable buffer type and then figure out how to manage that and maintain proper ownership when extracting.
Didn't know so much is inside . Thought it is the Chinese WhatsApp variant
Also HN looks like a clone of reddit!
When I saw the section of my comment you quoted, I thought you were going a different direction, which is pointing out that my original comment reads like a satire of HN commentary: "I dabbled in something as an amateur for like a month and now I don't believe any experts because I'm so much smarter.."

Anyway, I'm perfectly happy to be wrong here, there's clearly a lot about macroeconomics that I don't know (that people don't know?). So, if you say that it's happening despite its weirdness, well, that's something.

I just think we have a big enough theoretical apparatus for why state-directed economic development is inefficient that the burden of proof is on people saying "things are going well in China." Especially because we can be pretty confident that some large percent of the statistics we see on development are forged.

Is there a standardized test for conscientiousness or is it more just an abstract concept?
Exactly. I'm really worried about the service and supercharging infrastructure. In the last year (to q3-18, q4 stats aren't out), we've gone from one service center per ~800 cars to one service center ~1200 cars. We've gone from a supercharger per ~30 cars, to a supercharger per ~40 cars.
Aside from the growth hormones which can be avoided, chickens suffer ftom contagious transmissible diseases even in exurban settings (few chickens, lots of space), so they must ne administered antibiotics to fend of diseases and collapse of the brood.
And then Uber offered insurance, as an appeasement, which for the longest time (still is?) third party liability only.

Total your vehicle? Personal insurance won't touch it, and the Uber coverage you thought you had is useless.
RCA Records Drops R. Kelly After Documentary Furor
Android kind of does this (at least on my Pixel). It rings, but I have a "screen call" button that says "this person's using a screening service, tell us who you are and why you're calling". It answers the call and transcribes any response to text for me to read. If I want, I can pick up the phone.

It's functionally just an answering machine, but it's well executed. Most spammers just bounce off as soon as it picks up.
Park where?

I frequently drive on rural roads where there are blind curves and no real shoulder (and not much cellular coverage either). A human driver can usually steer a disabled car mostly off the road by going down into a ditch or up an embankment. But it's still not a safe place to be. And autonomous vehicle software is nowhere near being able to handle those maneuvers.
> It’s perhaps not surprising that Americans would support higher taxes on top earners given that tax rates on high income brackets were once much higher than they are today.

The nominal rates were much higher once, but the effective rates were never that high. Before the '86 tax reform, there were many "investments" available to wealthy people that entailed zero risk but yielded guaranteed tax benefits — we now rightly call these "tax shelters".

We should shed no tears that they are gone today, but we should also remember that the economic effects we saw previously were based on the effective tax rates (factoring in the sheltering activity), not the nominal rates. Now that these passive tax shelters are not available, the effective rates would be much closer to the nominal rates.

Also, as a tax-lawyer-turned-startup-founder, I can guarantee that if we saw rates like this again, the biggest beneficiaries would be the lawyers and accountants who would restructure contracts to avoid these taxes.
I agree that there is no coming hot conflict with Russia in the short term, but they are absolutely, objectively an enemy to America.
I think Version 1.0 will drop the XQuartz requirement, have you tried it?
Matt Yglesias’s podcast has a great segment in this. One point they make that isn’t mentioned in the article is that it wouldn’t raise all that much money, certainly not enough to fund broad social programs. Not enough people make more than $10 million a year to raise that much money from higher marginal rates. Its’s really more about punishing billionaires than raising money for social programs.

These security breaches are really screwing me over.

Our user base is really really pissed at Facebook, Twitter, etc. and the pendulum has swung the other direction. I think they're borderline paranoid about sharing their data.

I mean whether they are justified or not is one thing but I definitely do not personally have any nefarious goals.

This is going to have a very chilling effect for the cloud industry for years go come. People are just going to refuse to share data with newer social platforms and only share it with platforms when they HAVE to because they have pre-established network effects.

Back when I was a neuroscientist I had a fun conversation at SfN (the largest neuro conf in the world) with a big up-and-coming researcher about the cerebellum. Her take was "I hate that thing. If I never have to read another paper about it again that would be great. It's dumb. I wish we could get rid of it." I wonder how she's feeling about it these days...

The pet sitting situation isn't bad at all if you have a strong family or friend network and live near each other and all like dogs. People just casually bring their dogs over to each others house when they won't be home. When I was a teen when my aunts and uncles with pets go on vacation I'd spend the week at their house taking care of their pets.

Without that sort of network, yeah, I don't understand owning a dog either.
Yes, it was a bug that revealed them.
You might find it more challenging when they will eventually consider you "rich".
