Other people are going to suggest online banks, which are excellent, but you can't deposit/withdraw cash easily to those, which is the main purpose poorer people have for a bank account.

Instead, try local credit unions. As an example where I'm at, Indiana Members Credit Union has a checking account with all the normal perks of a checking account and no fees. And credit unions work together with the major banks to give their members access at most ATMs.

Every space launch and every large object in orbit are trivially observable. Even when the NRO launches top secret spy satellites that they barely acknowledge the existence of, we know exactly when the launch is. Thanks to the cold-war risk of nuclear ICBMs, every launch is publicly announced to reduce the risk of false positives in an early warning system.

In light of this, your proposition is impossible without also supposing the organization backing this hypothetical operation also has the ability to perfectly suppress all information related to the project. Literal back yard astronomers would notice every single launch, and every single "spy satellite" that disappeared off into space if the launches were announced but the payload kept secret.

You're basically speculating that there exists an organization capable of perfectly controlling all information worldwide. If that were true, there's hardly any point in worrying about it. In such a situation, we could be living in the Matrix for all we know and there really wouldn't be anything we could do about it.
>In python, it is not uncommon to import a library like `numpy` which will easily clock in 20+ MB for one library. Why don't people care about python dependency bloat?

Because some random Joe Schmoe can't replace numpy with a few lines of vanilla Pyton.

Because numpy has a governing organization and isn't just an arbitrary library some unknown developer dumped on NPM.

Because numpy is over a decade old and isn't any in danger of being superseded on the basis of not being fashionable.

Ask HN: Examples of startups websites without functional product?
Hey there! My startup doesn't have a functioning product yet, still few months away. But we need a website, chiefly to dissemination newsletter.

If someone could point me to some example of startup websites without working product that would be swell.

I would appreciate any words of advice as well!
it seems like the obvious solution would be to buy bandwidth on those and just send a continuous bytestream over the cable, as a transport layer, say between "2" and "3" and someone would just have to implement the standard protocols (tcp/udp) over a subscription service to the moving bytestream.

Not every store or service has to serve everyone.

For most people who use credit cards a cashless store could be a huge benefit to them as it would likely increase efficiency and perhaps offer lower prices. The benefits to the city would likely be less tax avoidance. I don't see why we would limit innovation just because some people would not be able to participate.
I am a physics in academia and no, most physicists do not think that (especially given that most physicists are not quantum foundations physicists, and even then). It is an interesting question, and if I am forced to guess on its answer I would even agree with you, but good science would be to not speculate the way you imply.

>A job posting depicts life as an intelligence officer in Guantánamo Bay as “a rewarding challenge with incredible surroundings”—sunsets, beaches, iguanas, pristine Caribbean blue. “After a hustled day of tackling a myriad of issues and directly contributing to the global war on terrorism,” it reads, “fun awaits.” Officers could partake in pottery classes, paintball, rugby, tennis, and softball, or exercise in several pools and gyms. The local dive shop offered gear and certifications for sailing, water-skiing, snorkelling, scuba diving, and more: “No experience, no problem. . . . Relaxing is easy.”

It's a reasonable point. But here `first` is actually declared in the `Collection` interface, which `Array` implements. There's no guarantee about what it's actually doing. (Although possibly it has a documented expectation to be O(1), can't remember at the moment.)

I'm not sure that meets the criteria for a "cycle of the stars" since it's a planetary change, but I guess for Hipparchus it probably did look like a celestial change. It definitely doesn't match the claim that "we do not try to ask HOW civilizations past could have been aware", though. We know exactly how Hipparchus recognized this. Nonetheless, this is a reasonable response to my question.

Noting a long-term cycle of equinox precession is impressive but also not terribly surprising. If you can note the change, you can reasonably assume it's cyclical (because the alternative is that it's going to suddenly stop moving at some point in the future).
Anecdotally, a bank once refused to open accounts for my kids, so I later researched the situation and found that there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.

If you are refused a new account at every bank, you have no recourse via the law. You're just unbanked, and then business models exist to extract money from you to provide extremely limited access to the banking system, using extortionate fees.

How is disambiguation handled? Many words can mean several things:

Cabinet (storage or govt body)

Keyboard (for typing, or music instrument)

Remote (controller device or distant/far away)

Also any word that can be used as e.g. either a noun or a verb

Etc...

And could words across languages be linked to the same definition? Seems like there are a lot of edge cases that make this type of application more complex than the site indicates
User Contributed Notes for Unity3D Docs [Chrome Extension]
I used to say the same about the NFL vs cancer research. As in: "Perhaps we should divert all of the money we spend on football each year into cancer research until we cure it."

The fallacy is that even though both are ostensibly valued in "dollars", at the scale they operate at (society wide), they are not necessarily fungible. You might spend 1 football and get only 0.09 cancer researches. Or they might not be interchangeable at all. I don't have the numbers even to start to make that judgment.

Space is probably just an extreme example of this as it feels "expensive" and seems to directly effect the life of most people very little.
It seems like uBlock was forked.

The people who forked tried to make some money off the name by asking people for donations. They seemingly failed after the uBlock creator called them out and renamed his work to "uBlock Origin".

So the people who forked sold what they got to ABP and called it a day.
And they explode quite a lot.

For most simple queries, that is correct. But if the query gets complicated, and/or the tables involved have several indexes, where several might be useful, then it might make the wrong decision. I've written plenty of complicated queries, where I have to help the query optimiser along.

Although, the most modern I've had this experience with is SQL Server 2014, but that definitely still needed guiding a few times.
Show HN: Yoink is a hosted mutex platform on Slack
There were a lot of people telling others to use AdBlock Plus for a long time, and once a bit of advice like that gets lodged in the public consciousness, it's next to impossible to extract it. I still run into Windows users who still think they need to install WinZip to open ZIP files, for instance, even though Windows has come with ZIP handling built in to its file explorer ever since Windows XP.

This is why brands have immense value.
Interesting that you chose to phrase it "cars injured...cyclists" and never "cyclists struck cars" as if it was never the cyclists fault.
I would suggest Aaronson's "NP-complete problems and physical reality" for this type of thinking (public PDF on his academic page). It is short and has a ton of examples. I really like the style, but it is not a common view among working physicists (yet? It is just not particularly practical for the moment).
Without negative matter, it's impossible to build a wormhole that's shorter than the distance through normal space.

This piece of math shows that it may still be possible to build a wormhole which isn't shorter than that distance. Obviously that wouldn't be much of a shortcut, but the potential research and (maybe) real-world applications are still impressive.
CloudFlare were extremely vague about where the end points of their VPN service would occur though. They said it "wasn't intended for circumventing geofiltering", which is fair enough, but that suggests it would have end points in your own country. In which case it's unlikely to be helpful against the UK's increasingly insane, authoritarian government.
I wrote my own thoughts on this on Reddit recently[1], excerpt:

> BetaFish Inc, owner of AdBlock, paid to acquire control of the GitHub repository and control of the ublock.org site last year. The apparent goal was to keep the deception ongoing, and further increase it, as clearly the site is trying to game search engines so to rank ublock.org high in results. They also registered the trademark "uBlock" in Germany, and have been pulling code from "uBlock Origin" repo.

> Nothing that they are doing is user friendly, it's to deceive people who are looking to install "uBlock Origin" into installing "uBlock" instead.

In my opinion this would be best applied to everyone not just the under 18s. That would go a long way to taking some of the addictive behaviours out of social media.

Probably not a popular opinion though, either with the users, or with the companies that run the social media platforms.
The problem is truly helping the severely damaged is such a difficult task requiring long term, intense intervention that most mental health professionals just fall back onto the standard approach of pathologicalizing behavior and prescribing medication.

That’s not what I was asking.

I was asking about the particular usage of the average null energy condition as justification to rule out wormholes: why isn’t that just begging the question by assuming your conclusion? and how does that particular assumption actually lead to the conclusion there can’t be wormholes?

It’s interesting the downvotes for asking someone to support a scientific claim, and be clear where they’re making assumptions versus reaching empirical conclusions.

It's probably related to credit card fraud.

There are large sets of stolen credit card numbers. Most of them are disabled. Crime group automated purchase process to determine if the number is live.

So online stores really want to eliminate the automation.
There is only one direction through the event horizon of a black hole.
Funny that the usability of this post goes to shit with ad and script blockers. Guess they care more about Luddites than privacy conscious users. Talk about poor judgement..
It's mostly a marketing issue in my opinion. ABP was the first ad-blocker to enter the mainstream market back during the Firefox days, and they had virtually no competition for half a decade, before the entire Acceptable Ads controversy. I think unfortunately there is still a significant number of users who just associate "AdBlock == AdBlock Plus".
Depends where in the network you are and what transport you are using. WAN is a different game to access.
At least one of the age verification services being tested just validates the card number is formatted correctly (Twitter users have found out of date cards work very well). No need to sneak the cards when you can just google one tbh.
I implemented a (very initial) proof of concept of it using visual studio's dev tools[1], although there are better implementations of it out there as far as I can tell.

My implementation forwards over all of the HTML when a change happens, but it's possible to access only the stuff that changes, and monitor such changes using CDP DOM events.

I haven't seen it done in phishing sites but I don't visit them too often, although it's certainly possible! The visible stuff would be mostly the latency between interaction and stuff happening on the page, especially with hovering.

You're misremembering. Prior to ObjC 2, classes indeed exposed fields. Convention was that you should not touch them and use accessors instead, but they were most definitely there, declared in the `@interface`.

@interface Foo : NSObject
{
NSString * name;
NSInteger count;
}

- (NSString)name;
- (void)setName:(NSString *)newName;

- (NSInteger)count;

@end

(This is still legal, of course, but bad practice now that there's `@property` synthesis as well as ivars being declarable in either an extension or the `@implementation` block.)
It's a neat demonstration of the holographic principle. From the point of view of an outside observer, there's no difference between the surface of the black hole and its volume; they're two different ways to describe the same thing, of varying usefulness. Reaching the 'surface' of the event horizon is equivalent to reaching the infinite future of the hole.

However, you'd still be spaghetti.

Hi HN,

We created Yoink internally after many occurrences where one person wanted to use our staging environment, but was unsure if someone else was still using it. Hence, we built a bot we could pester instead of each other.

Since listing it on the Slack app store, we've seen other teams use it as a poor man's version control for binary assets and an inventory management system for mobile test devices.

Yoink is free (as in beer) to use via Slack and we hope it’s useful to more teams!
Which means there are lots of fake cases.
What you are saying is essentially that all restrictions based on age are invalid because some people will manage to circumvent those rules.

We have significant, long term, data that age restrictions reduced the use of alcohol and tobacco.

What has changed, in the modern era of internet age restrictions, is that the enforcement of age restrictions online has been reduced.

For example, online pornography has massive numbers of users under 18, but there has been little enforcement by law enforcement agencies.

The solution is quite simple. If a person under the age of 18 is in possession of an application that is prohibited for minors and the company that creates that application fails to verify their age, then the company should face criminal charges, just like we do with tobacco and alcohol.

To say that age restrictions do not work is to ignore almost a century of public policy.
I managed to revive a GeForce 8600M GT board using the oven method a few years ago. A much smaller board with fewer components. The bake time was only about 8 minutes though, and I pre-warmed it thoroughly to ~105C in a separate oven first.
It's a bit disingenuous to refer to this as an "exploit" all throughout the article. It's a feature, and an intended one at that. It's offering whitelist maintainers more power over their filters. You can disagree with its inclusion in the spec (as I do), but you should make an argument on that premise instead.

Calling it an exploit is no different than claiming .exe files are exploits because they allow arbitrary code to run. Or that browser extensions are exploits because they too can manipulate the page.
Cash handling has costs. Not just risks.

This is something that always seems to be missed in the discussion of cash vs credit card or other payment systems. Yes, credit cards come with a cost (heavily limited in places like the EU), but so does cash -

- your transactions often take longer with cash
- for a small business, someone has to deposit regularly
- larger businesses require staff and secure transport of cash
- All sizes of business will have various accounting and reconciliation overheads
- You have to maintain a float

All this stuff takes time and pushes up staffing and other costs. I have no idea if it's comparable to the usual credit card cut, bit it always sticks in my craw when cash customers complain that they should get lower prices because their purchase doesn't involve fees.
Half of UK’s electricity to be renewable by 2025
It seems you didn't read or comprehend the document you linked? What you just referred to as "one of the charges" is literally not a list of charges, it's a list of "offences" which is not the same. Glossing over these definitions is absurd, and half of this document is literally discussing/determining what these differences are and whether the legal frameworks can be upheld across borders or not.

The entire purpose of that court's review was to determine if the European arrest warrant could be considered valid in the UK.

It explains very clearly and in great detail that he has not been "charged" because that's not how the Swedish judicial system works.
I agree that there's a downside to having search as a fallback to locations but try to be a bit more empathetic for the people who might type something like “support.apple.com” as “supportapple.com” and end up somewhere sketchy.

If they've previously hit the site before, autocompletion will work but lots of people hear about sites in contexts which don't give them a direct clickable link on the computer they want to use and they're a lot more likely to have a negative outcome from that than Google's data mining.
