Why Sky Credit Solution Are the Best Hackers for Credit Repair
How do I start this review? honestly I do not enjoying writing much, but I have to let the world know about this genius that helped me who heled me, seriously I needed a home for I and my family, but I couldn’t get one because of the evictions on my record and my FICO, I read many good reviews about SKY CREDIT SOLUTION online . 15 days after I contacted them via their number (620) 399 6316, they increased my score to 800 and improved my credit profile by removing the evictions and other negatives, I acknowledge their efforts and urge you to contact them for any credit related issue. Here is their Email: SKYCREDITSOLUTION247@GMAIL.COM. Thanks.
Repeating that's it's assault doesn't just make it assault. How do you know what the conditions anyone signed were? Just gleaming an opinion from a headline?
Yeah I always open my visor when I'm stopped/riding slowly for longer than I can comfortably hold my breath. Depending on the temperature outside, if I don't open my visor it will fog up real fast.

Are you talking about a specific project you're working on? I'm currently building a UI tool for designers, and I'm extremely interested to hear about any work in that area.
It's kind of apples to oranges. Neither have bad direct side-effects, but they should be taken knowing what you're going into.

Acid you should know that you'll need a good two days free to really enjoy yourself. The first 12 hours will be an intense mental journey. The next day or so is used to recover as you'll be mentally exhausted. If it's your first time though, you may not know how to handle it, so you'll need a guide. That's the biggest risk when taking acid, you need the emotional intelligence or you'll have a horrific time.

MDMA is a much shorter trip and everything will be good, no matter your state of mind. The risk with MDMA is after the trip. You'll be drained of your serotonin so you'll feel fatigued and depressed. It's recommended to take 5-HTP supplements to rebuild your serotonin. Also don't take anymore MDMA for a couple months, I usually wait 3-5 months at least.

tldr: you won't want to abuse Acid because it's so exhausting, you'll want to abuse MDMA because it's so wonderful. Like any drug, you need self control.
> But if the (suspiciously articulate) kid goes from alt-right to antifa, I don't think that's any sort of progress to be applauded. I interpreted the article's point to be that alt-right is just emotionally hurt people venting online, and they do antics for attention and the media latches on to it to sell clicks, even if it's all BS.

I would point out that there is quite a difference between "anti-fa" and "counter-protester", just as there is between a conservative and being a white nationalist. One of those differences is the ability to see shades of grey in both "your side" and "the other side".

you say:

> I interpreted the article's point to be that alt-right is just emotionally hurt people venting online, and they do antics for attention and the media latches on to it to sell clicks, even if it's all BS.

I think it is less "emotionally hurt" and more "emotionally vulnerable and alienated". It also isn't all BS. There are nuggets of insight and truth buried in all the bile and lies.

the article says:

> Sam pledged fealty to the idea of men’s rights because, as he said, his former administrator had privileged girls’ words and experiences over boys’, and that’s how all of his troubles had started in the first place. I’d never in my life backed the “masculinist” cause or imagined that men needed protecting—yet I couldn’t help but agree with Sam’s analysis.

you say:

> But if that's the case, the best way to handle it is not to counter-protest, but just to hear out the fears and insecurities.

There is room for both and when done well, they are the same thing. A single brave counter protester helped open a young man's eyes with courage, integrity and compassion. Would a horde of black masked militant "anti-fa" protestors have had the same effect?

I strongly believe that using hate, rejection and isolation to fight against hate is counter-productive and destined to a a failure. Compassion and courage on the other hand...

Great comment, but aren't you overlooking WWI? Phillipines? etc. There was even an anti-imperialist movement in the US before WWI.
This is literally connected to Steve Bannon.
Many popular programs are now seeing continuous paid development by patronage including Godot, Krita, Blender, GIMP, and OBS.

It is unsettling that they all get this success on a proprietary middle man that siphons a portion of the money in the form of Patreon, but the principle is absolutely applicable to development in general. Right now its regular people paying to have software they want to use developed - game engines, art tools, etc - but nothing should stop a culture shift from getting both corporations and private developers to start paying in a similar way for libraries and infrastructure given the means to correlate the added value in doing so.
You sound very pretentious.
I think he's right. They copied apple in this respect - they support old products, and update them continuously.

If you'd like to see the kinds of things that have changed over the years, this thread documents them:

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/model-s-software-fir...

Some changes are significant improvements.

Just try and find the UI to one of the original model S cars from 2012 and compare it to the current one. Sort of like looking at old 90's websites and then modern ones.

That said, Tesla collects a lot of data from it's users, and the latest round of UI changes have annoyed a great deal of people...
Targeting gamers is neo-fascism's bread and butter strategy since they proved the concept with "GamerGate." I remember seeing all that stupid GG nonsense and having no idea I was watching the beginning of a massively successful propaganda offensive.
I've been looking for something kind of like this for process or flow charts, but automatically places the blocks/nodes, yet allows "hints" to nudge things as needed. Example syntax:

Title: // chart page title
Flow-chart Shorthand Rough Draft

Decision:
Too big a project?
@Yes #label02 // arrow to #label02
@No #label01

#label01

Process:
Make lemonade
$options: no-point, foo // no arrow-head, etc.

Process:
Sell lemonade
$linetext: This is text near line coming to this process
$hint: north-east // positioning hint

#label02

Terminator:
End

Perhaps the hints could have an optional strength parameter: "$hint: north-east 60%". If you invent an implementation, I'll give you lots of Ycombinator points. I once used a tool called "graphviz" to kind of do this.
I dunno...if you lump them together they start to believe it and end up tearing each other apart in internecine battles surrounding their subtle differences in beliefs.
> [The attacker] placed a trap which waited for any user to SSH into the jenkins user, which would then hijack any available forwarded SSH keys to try to add the attacker’s SSH key to root@ on as many other hosts as possible.

Can the system you log into via ssh just dump your forwarded PRIVATE key? That easily?

Or this was about ssh client being patched on jenkins box to add malicious keys wherever the devops ssh'd from jenkins box?
You had a choice?
The writer is a rich white person which means she is part of the most ideologically intolerant group in America. It is thus not shocking that her son's adoption of several mainstream views basically made her think he was the next Hitler.

News flash: continuing to support the political establishment that supports #me too after finding your reputation harmed by a false accusations that those belonging to your parents ideology say don't happen is completely unreasonable.

The fact is the kid joined the alt right because it is one of the few large groups that has continuously pointed out the misandry of #believeallwomen.

Perhaps the parents should belong to a movement that does not seek to criminalize their son. Also maybe the parents should acknowledge reality (that false accusations do happen and ruin lives) and seek to convince more people of that rather than continuing to support the very ideology who ruined their sons life.

Of course they wont because white rich people are one of the most ideologically homogeneous groups and they're always on the right side of history /s

First, that will use 100% of the CPU quota assigned to your user, which is really small.

Second, yes. The container will be killed after 10min unless we keep detecting activity of your user in the platform. So, basically the rule is: If we don't detect user's activity after 10mins we kill all containers for that user.
You could hack this by doing periodical requests to the API to simulate activity, but at some point your JWT will be expired and requests will start failing.

In any case, other students won't be affected at all by the appropriate usage and we will end up banning your account at some point when we detect it.

We also limit the amount of parallel running containers to avoid unlimited containers running at the same time.

Do you see any drawbacks on this implementation? Happy to hear about possible improvements.
> why do you not want those people to have the information they need to refine and improve these emails so they can better serve and inform you?

Email A/B testing is always about marketing and trying to manipulate users, in my experience. If the content is the same, but a different button gets more clicks, it's hard for me to believe users are finding a benefit in that. I think it's far more likely that the content isn't all that compelling, but the UI tweaks managed to tickle some part of the reader's subconscious in the right way for them to click.

In other words, emails with quality content don't have marketing teams running them.

This is pretty much like all targeted advertising. The benefit to the company is very clear, but I don't think I'd be missing much if email analytics went away.

Just as a personal opinion that I'm sure plenty of people disagree with, I dislike it when products are hyper-customized based on a lot of analytics. For instance, Netflix has a ton of data on me, but all of their tests and micro optimizations make me use the app less. I would much prefer their product if they threw all of that info in the trash, rolled the UI back 5 years, and showed me more generalized start ratings again.

This might be the best post-mortem I've seen. Bravo Matrix.org team, informative and inspires confidence in your process.
Yes. I'll have more to say soon, but I'm basically building what I think is next-gen UI infrastructure in Rust. That's a project with perhaps overly ambitious scope, so I'm starting with one specific app, namely a font editor. That will be a great showcase for beautifully antialiased vector paths and smooth-as-silk scrolling and interaction, I think.

I have a friend who went to a Jewish high school in the U.S. (reformed, not Yeshiva) and graduated with enough Holocaust jokes to write her own anti-Semitic encyclopedia. Children challenge their surroundings, it’s part of growing up.

If Sam (from the article) feels like he has been marginalized, misrepresented and punished unfairly by a system that does not even try to understand him then I am sure he would relate the experiences relayed in a Holocaust museum. A little perspective goes a long way.
For the curious:

> It was deeply random. It's very randomness suggested that maybe it was a physics problem: maybe it was alpha particles or cosmic rays. Maybe it was machines close to nuclear power plants. One site experiencing problems was near Fermilab. We actually mapped out failures geographically to see if they correlated to such particle sources. Nope. In desperation, a bright hardware engineer decided to measure the radioactivity of the systems themselves. Bingo! Particles! But from where? Much detailed scanning and it turned out that the packaging of the cache ram chips we were using was noticeably radioactive.

I’d say that depends on how much effort he’s willing to let you put into the estimates. It’s often possible to de-risk estimates to that degree, but that basically requires putting in a significant chunk of the work up front to break the problem down and research all the unknowns.

If your boss wants that level of certainty, you should ask him to teach you how to achieve it and see how he thinks such a thing is possible. I’m not suggesting he’s not delusional. Just that if you pick his brain and then ask how to deal with the types of uncertainty you’re concerned about, you’re more likely to get to a place where you and the boss are aligned. (This assumes your boss is an even vaguely reasonable human being, tho. YMMV.)

Portions of our far-right literally wear Nazi regalia. If it weren't for that, we'd probably be less concerned.
I think that's exactly what is currently happening to the left!

EDIT: But I think the left believe they must be united at all cost. Because anyone not in their group is wrong. I don't get that vibe from any other part of the spectrum: moderate left (if it still exists)/center/right/alt-right/far-right.
Wtf is everyone here claiming it's assault or a sex crime? The very beginning of the article clearly states it's legal in most states and unless these people had some stipulation as to who it came from - I see no reason why the doctor can't use his own sperm. Do you all think it would be the same transgression if a female doctor used her eggs?

How about the ethical quagmire of all the male med students in the initial years who gave their sperm under pressure or without understanding the consequences? Why is it OK to have people working under the doctor donate sperm but not the doctor himself?

Misandry these days...
Sams response to his treatment -- that men ought to have the right to be presumed innocent -- seems the only reasonable reaction.

The mother should be ashamed of herself for believing that men should not have rights. The father too i presume
Irony is my favorite form of humor. This is how the article shows up for me:

https://ibb.co/6XqtQGs
Reminds me of my soon to be little brother. When I met him he was 14 year old Vietnamese-American kid, immersed in meme culture, spouting white supremecist ideas under his breath and making Holocaust jokes. Fortunately he seems to have grown out of it now.

The whole 4chan culture is so appealing to young boys. Inside jokes, porn, violence, conspiracy, and you can participate. Frankly I'd probably have been sucked in if it was around when I was a kid(I still had a 4chan phase a few years ago but wasn't stupid enough to go alt right).
While I agree with the rest of your post I want to respond to this particular part of it:

>I will happily give Google my location if it helps me avoid traffic jams, something many HN readers object to.

The premise of this statement is that you have to give them this data to avoid traffic jams as part of an inherent bargain, but that's not the case. Yes at a very basic level maps apps need to access GPS to work, but the implementations matter. Apple Maps was specifically designed so that you can have those features in a privacy-preserving manner [1]:

>“We specifically don’t collect data, even from point A to point B,” notes Cue. “We collect data — when we do it — in an anonymous fashion, in subsections of the whole, so we couldn’t even say that there is a person that went from point A to point B. We’re collecting the segments of it. As you can imagine, that’s always been a key part of doing this. Honestly, we don’t think it buys us anything [to collect more]. We’re not losing any features or capabilities by doing this.”

>The segments that he is referring to are sliced out of any given person’s navigation session. Neither the beginning or the end of any trip is ever transmitted to Apple. Rotating identifiers, not personal information, are assigned to any data or requests sent to Apple and it augments the “ground truth” data provided by its own mapping vehicles with this “probe data” sent back from iPhones.

>Because only random segments of any person’s drive is ever sent and that data is completely anonymized, there is never a way to tell if any trip was ever a single individual. The local system signs the IDs and only it knows to whom that ID refers. Apple is working very hard here to not know anything about its users. This kind of privacy can’t be added on at the end, it has to be woven in at the ground level.

Google is obviously trying to reframe the privacy debate into "yes we take your data, but it's necessary to give you valuable services" [2][3][4] (these last two takes seem to have just gone with the Google PR rep's package, given the titles) but that obfuscates that they're collecting way more data in a completely unfettered way outside of a specific purpose in connection with providing a service (something GDPR addresses but will probably need to be litigated). Apple repeatedly insists that providing great features/functionality doesn't have to come at the expense of your privacy. And I believe them for the simple fact that Google hasn't really been able to demonstrate what value they offer that only the Surveillance Capitalism model can provide.

Also, for those believing in free markets: freedom to tinker for you is also the freedom to ask your friend or pay a local professional to tinker on your behalf. It doesn't mean everyone has to be a tinkerer, only that everyone can be. The opposite of that is requiring to go through the official vendor for every little thing you need to tweak.
> In Vulkan, buffer age is implicit with the FIFO swap-chain model.

I know, but it's easier to explain the why with something proposing inclusion of the feature specifically, hence the link to EGL extension instead of Vulkan spec.

Although there's differences in whether or not the "redrawn" area of the buffer can be sampled from or not. I don't remember where Vulkan landed on that. I haven't read the spec but I'd assume it has buffer age similar to EGL_KHR_partial_update (content outside the drawn area is preserved, content within the drawn area is not) rather than like EGL_EXT_buffer_age (everything is preserved). Otherwise it'd force an initial copy into the tiler, which would be an odd default behavior.

> Agreed that there's currently no SwapWithDamage equivalent to tell the compositor about the damaged region in Vulkan, it shouldn't be too difficult of an extension to draft or support.

Why do you think Slack got built as it is today, and nobody built a similarly popular chat application bundled in every Linux package manager?
If it can be rooted by you, it can be rooted by someone close to you, at which point it can be modified to install competent spyware tooling that hides that it’s rooted. Women who have been stalked by their exes will be quite familiar with the risk this poses. So will people who need Tor Browser to keep them safe from their governments.

I’d accept this as fine if I had to order it rooted from Google in hardware, so that the bootloader could show an unskippable “This is a rooted device and lacks critical security protections against malware attacks” warning.

Sadly, that’s not currently on offer. While your needs are legitimate, offering rooting in software on consumer-facing devices is more dangerous than they can afford. To me, the harm that comes to others isn’t worth it.
I don't see how "Uber scale" scooter rental is viable long-term. Interestingly, this appears to show bird acknowledges it at some level.

Unlike cars, the purchase and maintenance cost of scooters is minimal. And you don't need a license or insurance. The only reason to rent one is lack of scooter parking or if you're visiting. Eventually society will catch up and scooter rental will be like bike or car rental. A viable business, but not nearly the scale of rideshare.

You only need to look at how successful Jump bikes are vs scooter rental to see where this is going. I've already seen many people around town that were driven to buy their own scooter after trying out the rentals. It's just one big advertisment for buying your own scooter.

Rental will still exist, but I expect the market to shrink, not grow, in the cities that already have rentals available. The barrier to buying your own is too low to make this a viable SV style business
Very well written piece. The most thought-provoking part is how the author links the ham-fisted behavior of the school administrator with the path her son followed.

The truth of the charge isn't the problem. The problem is how due process flies out the window when the charge is leveled.

Both accusers and accusees suffer from the same lack of due process. Its very tempting for other party to seek revenge that can lead to truly awful consequences.

Still, I can't help but wonder if the author isn't ascribing too much significance to the episode. The lives of teens are very full and extremely complex. They rarely reveal to parents everything that's happening to them.

OK, I know it's a 'bad' word to use. In my innocence, I think I can use it to invoke the rich, complex psychoanalytical meanings of the word. Serious conversation is what we do here, right?

But more seriously, I don't care how diluted the word has become. It names a very recognizable phenomenon, one that we have a problem with in the current culture, but which isn't new. If you care about engaging with that phenomenon (and typically, if you do, you don't have a choice in the matter) then the professional use of the term becomes the only meaning that has significant value.

The key question I have about decriminalisation of marijuana and things like mushrooms and hopefully MDMA soon, is "will it reduce the number of people who try meth/ice?"

My theory is that people become addicted to meth/ice because they want to get high, but "good" drugs like marijuana and MDMA/mushrooms are not legal/available/cheap, so people buy/try meth/ice.

Put another way, my theory is that legalisation of "good" drugs like marijuana will lead to fewer people trying/becoming addicted to meth/ice. I wonder if its working out that way in places where marijuana is legalised.
That's different. People can easily be unethical at scale when incentives align. What they almost never can be is coordinated at scale against the individual incentives - whether for good or bad.
