I was playing around with the logo for my company, which features a configuration of overlapping boxes. A significant percentage of my brainstorming iterations ended up as swastika-esque shapes. Go figure.. Now I'm not a designer at all, just fiddling around, but those versions ended up in a not-to-be-opened folder immediately, because.. of course it shouldn't see the light of day! That's a bad association waiting to happen

But Pentagram didn't let that stop them, did they. Guess that's why they get paid the big bucks
No idea if it's on the rise or not because it could just be reporting, but hoarding is a mental disorder no doubt. Watch an episode or two of Hoarders. People are literally breaking down for having to throw away a dirty piece of trash.

You're either not reading the "how this protects your password" link that's on top of the page or claiming it's wrong. [1]

It sends the first N characters of the SHA1 hash of the password you provided to the server, the server replies with all the hashes it knows with that prefix, and then the client-side JS compares it to the rest of the hash it has.

If you don't believe me, you can look at the request said site issues for some arbitrary string - it's just the first 5 characters of the SHA1 hash, and the response from the server is as I (and that link) describe.

From the article;

It will fund construction for homes affordable not only to the company’s own non-tech workers, but also for teachers, firefighters and other middle- and low-income residents.

Microsoft are increasing the supply of affordable housing by literally paying to build affordable housing. That increase in supply might lower prices, or it might just attract more people to the area and raise demand as well. Either way it makes the area better for Microsoft and its employees.

nice. classic gym model is - get your routing and checking # , understand that you are likely never to use the gym after you forget your new years resolution, and then make it impossible to cancel. try signing up to planet fitness without having to give them a void check. canceling requires visiting the location from which you signed up from in person with a hand written letter. im glad there is budding competition in this space (banking). keeps companies like MastC in check

I mean they cover the mirrors because detecting two way mirrors isnt as simple as putting your finger on it and looking for the reflection.

If you look at the picture

You see the difference between glas two way and standard mirror. That was recommended for a long time as a tip for girls to figure out if they have to worry about a cam being behind a mirror.

That however is not sufficient, which gets you from trying to detect a cam to taking precautions as if there are cams you just havent found yet.

There wouldn't be any inconvenience if your password manager did its job of helping you manage your passwords. 1Password has implemented a feature that helps you easily check all your passwords, I'm honestly surprised it's taking so long for the others to do too. The data is there, there's a super easy API, it doesn't take that much effort...

You have to choose it yourself. Programming is a difficult intellectual struggle and the only two things that I'm aware of that cause anyone to endeavor to do it is either pressure (obligations to an employer, for instance) or enthusiasm; satisfying some desire to make a computer perform some specific task.

So either take a job that inflicts deadlines or discover some passion great enough to make you hunch over a keyboard and squint at a display for hundreds of hours. If you can't or won't commit to the former and you haven't a passion that motivates the latter you may need to to reconsider your motivations.

I'm sneering at the bait and switch. For what it's worth, MongoDB may have taken away business from more competent competitors that were upfront about being commercial projects. Given the nature of the database space, this has certainly been the case.

Why do companies insist on rebranding every few years? Is it just to keep the in house design team busy? The old logo was memorable and has established Slack as a recognisable brand. Why change it when there is no shift in direction of the company or product?
Planet Fitness did this crap to me. I actually used it but I moved and now I have a closer gym. Luckily, I had just moved to California, which had just mandated that you must be able to cancel a service online if you signed up online (Senate Bill No. 313.) After honestly very empty legal threats it was confirmed that my account was closed.

Of course, if you really want to cause trouble you can do an ACH chargeback, but that could backfire.
Reporters are the worst medium. They have no knowledge and no resources to get it, and they have a narrative they have to follow which skews any truth. Still plenty of adtech veterans have done interviews, and we're right here in the comments answering your questions.

Willfully choosing not to believe is on you. If you discount everyone talking about their profession because they get paid for it then you'll quickly end up with no experts on anything. People are still professionals regardless of industry. Treat them that way and you'll get clear answers.
Some Thoughts on My Psychiatry Practice
There is a competitive element when lots of VC money is chasing hot investments — the company has leverage to get investors to accept unfavorable terms. It is an aspect of our bubbly financial climate, like the boom in "covenant-lite" loans.

Also, there is a Ponzi-like aspect to VC funding in general, where incentives favor ever-rising valuations rather than the cultivation of sustainable, profitable businesses.

It's data, and a lack thereof. It's easy to know you're browsing a site. It's almost impossible to know you bought something.

Banks and merchants and publishers and advertisers and all the layers in between create dozens of data silos and nobody is interested in sharing. Add to that the weird expectation that people don't want to be tracked but yet want adtech to know when you've bought something.

This is exactly my experience with the diet.

I've been doing intermittent fasting for about 3 months now. I fast for 16 hours, and have 2 meals a day (lunch at 12PM and dinner at 8PM), I eat 0 to low carbs, since my diet is mostly animal based products (meat and eggs, and I have protein powder from beef and egg which I occasionally take as well).

I really don't feel hungry at all, never. It's insane. I go to the gym at 7AM, after 11 hours of fasting, and I can workout just fine. The difference has been absolutely crazy.

To anyone who would like to see sr.ht grow, please note that Drew DeVault is running it on donations. He chose to go work full time on free software with these donations:

AI for Small Businesses: Is It Worth Investing In?
I agre with the sentiment but disagree with the conclusion.

My approach to customer payment is that i don't want your money unless you're happy with the service so if you've gone as far as stopping payment with your card provider, I'll take that as a sign you don't want to be a customer anymore.

I never dispute chargebacks, but instead try to get the customer to withdraw it and behave like an adult, letting me refund and cancel his subscription like we would have had he simply asked.

There's no situation where I'd consider chasing down a customer who didn't want to pay to claw back my fourteen dollars. In my mind, it's not mine to have if he doesn't want me to have it.
I'm astounded by the number of people here insinuating that the hotel industry is any better. I realize I've probably been lucky with my AirBnb visits and unlucky with my hotel visits, but still...

Several times I've ran into hotels which advertise AC, but when you get there you realize it's impossible to get acceptable room temperature. When you contact the front desk, they simply tell you that during [this time of year] the entire AC system of the hotel has been set to [heat/cool] and we can not set an individual room to [cool/heat] even if it is 27C inside the room.

One time there was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom strong enough to be sensed in the bedroom. The front desk again did nothing to alleviate the problem, going as far as lying that they are unable to move us to another room because all the rooms are booked (despite us seeing very few guests in the hallways, indicating the hotel was mostly empty at the time).

Another time the hotel staff badgered us for extra money throughout our stay despite that the hole stay was paid for in advance. They claimed that we had "erroneously" been given too low of a rate ($200/night for a small room in Milan) because we had used a "bad agent" (a booking site they apparently disliked, yet chose to work with anyway). They had knowledge of our booking for a long time, and instead of contacting us before our trip, they badger us for additional payments after we arrive?

These are not really isolated incidents. The majority of the time I visit a hotel, something is wrong to the extent that I never want to visit that particular hotel again. In contrast 100% of my AirBnb experiences have been good so far.

Bitwarden (https://bitwarden.com/) is great and scores well in feature comparisons -- there was one on here recently. It's open source and has recently been audited too. It's free for the basic service, and really cheap for additional features. Great mobile apps and a web vault. And you can self-host. No bad points really.
I have to disagree with this idea of fast pace. Considering they have had to perform two full audio engine rewrites since they launched 1.0, and didn’t even have MIDI channels (while claiming to be next level MPE... no hardware works in MPE mode without those channels!). They switched to a yearly subscription to allow “more updates more quickly” but then drop to one major release per year.

Sure, they are doing a pretty impressive job. But I think they are lacking in the foresight department, otherwise they wouldn’t have needed to rewrite everything a couple times already since launch.
I think boring could also be described as easily understandable. Kludgy could be interpreted to mean that all possible theoretical scenarios are not handled. Working could mean that the product works for the use cases it was intended for.
In that case, I see this as a very positive pragmatic approach.

You don’t waste time implementing features you “know” you will need in the future (you don’t know). You don’t waste time handling scenarios that make your feature theoretically complete and elegant but that have no significance to the users of the product. You go quicker to market and can more quickly iterate on your product.

I think a much better approach is to implement these kludgy solutions that apply to the specific problem being solved. Then, you can revisit the code when it makes sense (e.g. the scope of the feature is being expanded, or just do it regularly to keep things healthy). Generally holding off on implementing things you don’t need will put you in a better position to implement the things you will need when you reach that point in the future.

What I got from this:

2. The author is puzzled by refusal to take medication.

3. Successful as in ‘wealthy’ people have a definite set of traits that is diametrically opposite to those who aren’t successful in a monetary way.

I don’t know why the author shies away from making the observation. It is clear that they made the observation but stops short of saying it.
The Mastercard rebrand is one of the most...masterful...logo refreshes I've seen! Kept what was iconic (you know some design firm wanted to update the "outdated colors") but gave it a touch of modernity.
As a very small B2C subscription-based service, we bump into this too. And it's rather frustrating. It seems like banks are super happy to let their customers dispute the charges, and so far we were never able to reverse this. Despite sending server logs, our terms and conditions, proofs of emails sent, etc.

For the record, we make cancellation very easy (one-click), and we send emails whenever we renew. And if someone forgot to cancel and emails us a few days or a couple of weeks later, we'll refund happily. But going to your bank and disputing charges is just too easy for people it seems, even for services that they clearly consumed.

I saw your other comment saying that you were able to "fight" this, but can I ask how? we basically gave up submitting evidence on Stripe, because the manual effort is pretty big, and we were basically never able to "convince" the bank (which seems to have the last word). The amounts aren't worth pursuing outside of Stripe, so we just eat those charges from time to time. Overall, they are still a fraction, but still frustrating.
Show HN: docker-run.com enables to “docker run” in the clould with a subdomain
If every other business has taught them that this is the only way to deal with things and that actually going through the "official" cancellation procedure is next to impossible (and an opportunity cost besides), I don't see how you can ask them to stop doing it.

It's apparently a strategy that works, and just because it's inconvenient for you doesn't make it their obligation to stop.

So you are trusting the HTML/CSS and javscript downloaded from troyhunt.com with your plaintext password? Not to mention various bits from cloudflare.com, and other places.

There's some code that page uses:

Note the lack of https.

You are going to trust a page with that code with your important passwords?

Sure it claims to anonymize it first, but most don't know enough code to verify it themselves.

Much like trusting curl https://whatever.com | sudo /bin/bash

Crazy.
For me, the fact that "They allow you to listen to live updates on (almost) any query." would've been a huge yellow (red?) flag.

You probably pay somehow for that amazing feature - what is the cost, really?

It is possible to build one yourself which is even cooler. Although I have to say, while it is a WW II era device, DIY building is not a beginners project.
