Credit Repair Specialist
My husband was fighting cancer and it almost crucified us, I needed my credit cleaned so I can get a place to live with my family. I had repos, late payments, bankruptcy, judgments was filed and I needed someone to help me without scamming me because it was my family I wanted the housing for. I decided to narrow my search to a trusted credit site (indeed and Qoura), luckily for me, I found several good reviews on DPROTOCOL a trusted credit repair specialist. I contacted him on; DPROTOCOL7@GMAIL.COM, +1 320 245 4036 and after discussing the process, we got started. He raised my score, posted good tradelines on my report, and deleted the bankruptcy and the judgments. All late payments appeared as on time payment and he effected the changes across all 3 credit bureaus. He is the best amongst his kind.
I think the common position is "Instagram should pay you for your photos" and "google translate should pay people for exploiting their translations", not "big companies should track everything you do and pay you a small amount of compensation".
> "Let me rephrase that. Is x86/x64 (or ARM, for that matter) architecture ideal to compile WASM into? Or could a different architecture be designed that would result in better performance?"

I'm sure you could compile WASM into Japanese or French if you had to. Maybe then, our French-native CPUs would finally be able to process "sudo fais moi un sandwich". My point being, you're asking a very broad, very theoretical question.

Are CPUs these days not performing well enough for most applications? If so, is it necessarily due to the complex instruction sets powering those platforms?
Facebook gets more likable by the day.
I understand their motivation, but in none of the articles murmuring about them "taking away the URL", I have never so far seen any concrete approach how their replacement could look.

Even if you are willing to sacrifice the "you can write them on a napkin and share them with everyone" feature, it's not clear to me what other identifier would fundamentally solve the identity problem:

Even if you forced every website to get an extended validation certificate from a preselected CA and then based website identity solely on the certificates, what would stop you from registering a misleading company name? (There are precedents for that, btw. Search for "World Conference Center Bonn Scandal" if you want to read some hilarity)

Additionally, as the article mentions itself:

> The big challenge is showing people the parts of URLs that are relevant to their security and online decision-making, while somehow filtering out all the extra components that make URLs hard to read.

I feel the approaches we have seen so far rest on the assumption that the top and second level domains of the hostname are the only "important" parts of an URL and the rest can be hidden. I think this assumption is simply false, even for a vast number of non-technical use-cases: Often, "identity" is not just about the organisation behind an URL but also about the content - e.g., you'd like to know which article of a blog a link leads to.

More importantly, many sites are divided into user profiles, where the identity of a user is given by a subdomain or a path segment. Just knowing you're on "https://facebook.com" doesn't tell you whether you're viewing the actual profile you want to view.

Finally, even the "cruft" is sometimes important, if only for knowing it's there. E.g., I frequently remove tracking/referral arguments before sharing a link - both to make the link easier to remember and to disrupt tracking.

Is that how we imagined internet governance to work? Didn't we have standards bodies like the W3C or the IETF that were supposed to make decisions on that scale?

> d need $20/mo more than they need privacy

What if you simply don't care if some researchers have access to your data?

I'd honestly consider doing this myself, even though I am a highly paid software engineer, because it really does sound like "free money".

Although I probably won't, because I don't want to go through the hassle of sideloading an app on my phone (but if it was a 1 click thing, I'd seriously consider it).
You are analyzing one aspect of the system in vacuum, and probably conflating correlation and causation. You, and nobody else don't really know what higher taxation over last 30 years would bring. More tax havens, which are really everywhere these days? Which is an effect I can confirm from my home country (higher tax -> higher avoidance/optimalization -> less taxes to the state). Lower the taxes, and tax office actually collects more cash for a given year.

Rich are not dumb, they will not just sit and watch some state eat their wealth and getting nothing tangible back, in contrary. I know I would too, if for nothing else then my future kids and their kids.
Some of comments here are suggesting that facial recognition wouldn't be necessary if San Francisco would just fix the root cause of its crime problem.

There is a common pattern I've noticed in discussions about San Francisco.
Person A: San Francisco should implement <solution that provides relief in the near-future>.
Person B: That's just a bandaid over the problem. It's better to just fix <problem that has plagued humanity for all of history>.

Usually, the solution to <problem that has always plagued humanity> requires large changes to our economic system or society that would take decades, if not lifetimes. I'm not opposed to such changes, but it seems naive to me to not do quality-of-life improvements because they would be unnecessary if our society was massively different.

If this is how the city is managed, it's no surprise that it's a mess.

My impression based on limited information is that many of the areas were so overloaded with dry dead vegetation that who sparked the otherwise inevitable fire should be irrelevant. The state forcing liability like it is amounts to nothing but a back-door tax propping up areas which should be uninhabited because of the risk.

> > For some people this money could be incredibly important.

> That's exactly the problem.

I thoroughly disagree, and I feel like speaking up about this particular philosophy of consent.

If I buy a used iPhone for $100 from someone who would die if they didn't get the $100, have I acted unethically? Whereas if I bought it from someone who didn't really need the $100, I wouldn't be acting unethically?

This sounds not only wrong, but highly counter-productive to me, since the consequence of not entering into this trade, just because the seller really needs the money, is that the seller dies. How does that make any of us better off?

As a society, we should encourage trading with people who really need the money, not label it as unethical. Whether a trade is unethical or not can be determined solely from the trade itself, not how much either (or both of the parties) needs the proceeds from the trade.

Example illustrating the absurdity: imagine two people who both really need the proceeds trading with each other. Ouch! According to your philosophy, they are both acting unethically (when in fact they are doing the only reasonable thing).

Because your phone company is a much bigger customer than you are, and they make termination fees on every call you receive.
And this is why you can easily script things with python also in blender.

For simpler usecases the nodes still make a ton of sense (e.g. compositing, shaders, ...) And I say that as somebody who loves CLI and programming.
> Instead of "traverse" the author means you have to follow the pointer out to main memory to read the data. Another term they might have used is "fetch".

No, I got that. But stack memory is main memory as well, and it is accessed through a pointer (in this case the stack pointer) just like heap memory. That is, unless the stack memory is not really stack memory, but optimized by the compiler to be register-only. Which is mostly not possible for stack-allocated arrays (when they are indexed with runtime indices, or when they are simply too large).

It's true that stack memory is (almost) always in the cache, which is why stack memory is considered fast. But couldn't that be mostly true for temporary heap storage as well?
This ignores that ships burn bunker fuel which is far dirtier than diesel.
So anonymous hear-say is all there is?

And is the company even small? "Some of our bigger customers purchase up to $15,000/week with us" sounds like they make > $100k revenue/week regularly, baking thousands and thousands of cakes every week. I don't know SF standards of small, but that sounds like a solid operation to me - one that definitely has the resources to go after a corporate client that doesn't pay.

I still find it weird to focus on gender/sex and ethnicity, and I have my doubts that Munchery invested a lot of time & money into finding out who is behind the companies they don't pay and what the owners' gender is.
Google should never have given pagerank rewards for 'meaningful' URLs, they should have given it for meaningful link descriptions.

URLs should be opaque, then we wouldn't have the mess of people trusting them. Also we would have HATEOAS instead of OpenAPI :D

Wanting to leave the EU is one thing but relocating the entire archipelago to a different continental plate would be a tall order indeed.
I was annoyed about the recommending plugins thing as well. It's quick to turn off if that's any help.
I recently had something similar on Google Fi. One day my phone had a pop-up offering to connect me to their beta VPN automatically for security.

Of course, while connected to the VPN you can't connect to anything on the LAN, and I'm not sure how regular users would be able to disable the thing.

And, of course, the problem of Google sniffing everything you do.

Ummm, then those people don't have to side load an app that sells your data for money.

The title, "Serve Static GitHub Pages Locally," makes it sound like you're serving github pages. Maybe "serve local static pages like github does" would make it more clear.
> In Earthrise (1968), the first color photograph of Earth captured by a human being

Even mercifully assuming they mean "photograph of the entire Earth", this is clearly nonsense. The Apollo 8 crew got excellent shots of our planet long before they entered lunar orbit.

In a linked article on the same site, they claim that "We Only Had One Photograph of the Entire Earth—until Three Years Ago".

Please!
Could it be argued the allegations occurred in the UK, as that’s where the guy lives?

That would be fun. Extradite Musk. Classic.
SF is broken because they refuse to punish bad behavior. Pising and pooping on streets and sidewalks. Breaking into cars. Using heroin and meth in public. Disposing of needles wherever you feel like. Setting up a tent in the park. Most other cities would stop this from happening but SF won't.

Unrelated to anything, but... There are many fax vendors (sfax for example), that provide "virtual fax machines", and that email you received faxes. Those emails could get lost. The fax service could lose the data. Just because a fax was received by a "fax machine", doesn't necessarily mean someone actually got it.

Certified mail is probably a better "someone received it" option, if that is the desired requirement.

So. Onavo was taken down and repackaged as Facebook Research. And now that has been taken down too.

And, while this may not be connected, Microsoft also seem to have deleted all of our Sensitive Information Policies in the Office 365 Security and Compliance Center overnight too. Policies that we running yesterday all seem to have been turned off or deleted this morning. This is a HUGE security risk. As I say it could be coinicidence but I'm not so sure.
It's the same on Azure, so I created a new account to circumvent that issue and then they randomly banned me for doing that.

So they have to wear the ski mask all the way to cover (a private place without cameras), increasing their vulnerable time (time they're easily recognizable as performing a criminal act). That sounds like a big security win.

> No one should have an issue with this since it does both.

Surely there's something to be said about age. There's a reason 14-year-olds can't enter into a legally binding contract.

Besides this, there's also the issue of how clear it is that the app is collecting private data. The article says:

"Facebook first got into the data-sniffing business when it acquired Onavo for around $120 million in 2014. The VPN app helped users track and minimize their mobile data plan usage, but also gave Facebook deep analytics about what other apps they were using."

which seems a lot like Facebook luring users into giving them their data without the users' knowledge.
Zenly ( http://zen.ly, millions of users, bought by snapchat ) has had an app coded in go and swift for ios ( and go and java for android) for a few years. Judging by the app, and the fact that it’s cross platform i’d say the go part does all the data processing part.

Sure, it's essentially just soaking and blending:

1) soak the oats for as long as you like (I do overnight, but can be as little as 30 mins)

2) Pass through a sieve, removing the sitting liquid.

3) Add to a blender with some fresh water and pulse (the amount of fresh water depends on how thick you want it to be afterwards). You can also add cocoa powder here if you want oaty/chocolatey milk.

4) Pass the liquor through a nut milk bag (or muslin etc...) to get the milk.

It separates quite easily so you do need to shake before use, but should be easily achievable with household items.

You Are Too Nice 3 Techniques to Quit This Habbit
PCIe3 x16, current generation has a bandwidth of 15.75 GB/s (×16)

Assuming you have 16 GB or RAM on the GPU, theoretically ~1 second is all it would take to load the GPU with that amount of data. Unfortunately, when you take into consideration huge data sets, you'll be able to saturate that with 5 M2 SSDs each running at 3200 MB/s, assuming Disk<-RAM DMA->GPU.
Those would also require at least 5 PCIe 2x8 ports on a pretty performant setup. RAM bandwidth is assumed to be around ~40-60GB/s, so hopefully no bottlenecks there.

This is assuming your GPU could swizzle through 16GB of data in a second. They have a theoretical memory bandwidth of between 450-970 GB/s.

Now realistically, per vendor marketing manuals, the fastest DB I've seen allows one to ingest at 3TB / hour ~~ 1GB / second.

So there must be more to it than the theoretically 16GB / second business. PCIe4 x16 doubles the speed to 32GB/s but at this time it looks pointless to me.
When I said main memory I meant failing to get a cache hit.

If you’re hitting the allocator (slow!) then odds are pretty good those bytes aren’t fresh in the cache. They could be if you just read them and then freed them and then the allocator handed them right back. But that’s probably not a good pattern either.

Another form of this pattern is the small string optimization. It’s exceptionally common. https://blogs.msmvps.com/gdicanio/2016/11/17/the-small-strin...
Given that we are on HN, it is probably safe to assume most people here work in tech, earning 2x-3x the median salary or more. Would you actually want to be taxed at 90%?
Weirdly enough, the 2000 Dodge Neon was available for sale from early-to-mid 1999, so parent commenter may not be mistaken!
Yeah over the long term, but I thought this was already implied. All I'm saying is that "beating" other bettors is not enough to ensure success because of the means by which payouts are made. I suspect you feel this is also implied though, so I think we're probably on the same page.
Except that it stopped working that way about 30 years ago.

People will not move their money back if you halve the taxes on them because zero will always be 100% lower than whatever tax is currently in the US. Some poor country will always suck that up for a one time charge in order to get foreign money. The money which has left the US will never return, because it will never make financial sense.

These aren't complicated transactions anymore, your investment firm will do it for you as a service. They've already found all the legal "loopholes" and have back ups in place for when they're shut down, because that's another way to increase their profits. The simplistic "if you cut taxes it will happen less" concept just breaks when it's effortless, cheap, and will be more profitable the moment you have over X dollars (where X is constantly going down).
Wanna Kicks, a new AR app lets you virtually “try on” kicks
Still not fair. Furthermore, taxation should be created out of neccesity, and should not just be thrown around for anything. If we really need the extra tax dollars figure out a way to allocate some money from other parts of the budget instead of increasing the tax willy nilly. Also, it is absurd that anybody would have to give away more of their legally earned income than they get to keep.

Thanks for the feedback!

Regarding the issue I fully agree with the answer of luckylion.

Q1: Since it almost has to be used in combination with some sort of password manager, you could compare the hash with the service you signed up for. But that's a bit inconvenient. Since you receive a mail for each new signup, maybe set up a mail filter, that gathers all first mail to a hash in a dedicated folder. This way you can compare the sender with the first mail for specific hash when receiving new mails. This would have the benefit to have the data right inside your mail app of choice.

White-listing hardware to the point of bricking a device when non-listed hardware is present is plain user-hostile and seves no purpose but revenue generation for the device manufacturer.

I don't buy the "but it's for your security" argument at all. An attacker who wants to own a machine with a malicious device might as well just spoof the identity of the malicious device.

I also don't buy the "but we need to minimise the support burden and warranty repairs" argument. If third party devices are such a problem, then tell the user that they are going to void the warranty but allow them to continue to use the device.

The only purpose this policy serves is to force users to purchase the most expensive add-on device possible or, worse, to force the user to upgrade an otherwise perfectly well working machine.

This gives you all the drawbacks of un-expandable hardware with none of the benefits of soldered-on components (size, weight)

If that would help result in a society where people are more educated, relaxed, healthier, and feel like they are part of a community, then yes.

Technology and the efficiencies of scale are allowing fewer people to do more and whether they deserve it or not is not the question. The question is what kind of society do we want to live in.
