If you got my email address from a third party, then I do not want to be marketed to.

If you got my email address because I applied for a job, then I do not want to be marketed to.

If you got my email address because I signed up for a service, then I do not want to be marketed to.

If you got my email address because I purchased something, then I do not want to be marketed to.

If you got my email address because someone else "legitimately" entered my email address into your field, then I do not want to be marketed to.

In short: your definition of "legit" likely does not meet my definition of legit. The only email that I deem to be legit is an email that:

1) is @from a domain name that I recognize (walk like a junk, talk like a junk, it's junk)
2) is @from the same domain name as the correspondent (no third party bulk email or proxies; eg mailchimp et al)
3) does not have a no-reply@ as the reply-to address (I must be able to talk to a human)
4) does not hyperlink to third party domains (from@domain must match hyperlinked domain text)

Any legitimate email outside of those parameters are specially treated with liberal amounts of filtering.
Ditched Chrome a few years ago and switched to Vivaldi. Couldn't be happier.
The thousands of nuclear weapons we have make this an academic question. Everyone knows that we would use them if facing an invasion of our homeland, so there never will be a foreign invasion on our soil.

I know we've done some shitty things to a variety of different countries over the years, but those acts are never going to be reciprocated in kind because they're the kinds of acts that only the powerful can do to the weak, and the US is not weak. It's not a value or moral judgment, it's just the reality of how power and force work.
Non sequitur! The FDA is a government entity with a mandate to protect citizens, bound by non-fluid law.

Apple is a self-serving private company, not beholden to user's interests (but shareholders), with an extremely fluid, arbitrary set of "laws" (if you can even call them that).
Only if you know typescript and rxjs already is Angular easier to get up and running, react especially with create-react-app is trivial to get going.
> For anything that is legal but "taboo" without clear evidence that it actually results in a real problem, we need to aggressively prevent people from interfering with other people's lives because of ill-defined feelings they might have about things that in reality don't matter at all.

Indeed. I do in fact fully support your impassioned argument that we should eradicate the legacy of centuries of bigotry and ignorance and bias that underpin nearly all human interactions.

In the meantime, while you're working on that, I'd like some fucking data privacy laws.
One advantage is that

seen.add(line)

can be changed to

seen.add(hash(line))

which can be significantly more memory efficient for files with long lines.
I hate the mimecast URL-hiding. I think it makes me less secure (but may make the totally not paying attention more secure).
Thanks for that, I didn't know it! It seems that also F3 works, and in fact CTRL+G is alias of F3, and both work in Firefox as well.

The only issue is that in Firefox, it is only equivalent for the first search; once you close the bottom bar, subsequent F3/CTRL-G just do "find next occurrence" and do not display the bar anymore. Chrome always displays the search input on the other hand.

Edit: since talking shortcuts, in Firefox ' (apostrophe) is like CTRL-F but searches only hyperlinks (and you can cycle through in case of multiple matches with F3/CTRL-G) which is extremely useful for quickly navigating pages via keyboard only.
If you're travelling, rental cars are also an option.

If you are 21 or older. There are a lot of people in the 18-21 range. And, in the 21-4 range there are often fees associated with that age, which can be significant.[1]

Depends on what you're doing, but if your employees are dangerously gullible, of course firing them should be on the table if they (especially repeatedly) exercise that gullibility, and it is not feasible to give them tools to mitigate that risk (like PGP, though that's not perfect either).

My general approach is to create computing environments which make it generally impossible to send/receive general communications, and access sensitive information (or the web), at the same time on the same machine. The communication channels available to an agent while accessing a customer file are heavily sanitized, and the environment does not allow for opening links; images are transcoded in fresh containers on a remote machine with no general access to the database or the internet.

The real question is: do many businesses understand the risks well enough to make that determination well?
We can reclaim cities from the car without inconveniencing people
Each state is different. There are 50 of them with different programs and rules. States are changing their rules all the time. Depending on the destination state he might or might not have problems. It is a consideration he unfortunately has to face.
The LDS and Catholic Church asset values aren't really helpful, the clergy don't have a piece of that. There are a small number of admins, surely, who get to live in some nice buildings, but that's about it.

Again, $45K is not 'tax free'.

A 25-80K salary range is fairly meagre for the United States.

You're making my point for me: this is not a career for those who're aspiring to make a ton of money.
My company uses similar tests - you get a random email and if you click on the link you're required to take some training. One of the things they emphasize is to ensure the actual URL seems legitimate, or is pointing to a company domain if the email claims to be from within the company. Ditto for the From field.

Recently there were reports of an active shooter on site. Everyone got email alerts about it. Many (most?) employees ignored the alert because the From address was an unknown external domain. Fortunately there wasn't an active shooter (although the person who was arrested was armed).

And then the company sent out an email asking us not to ignore those types of emails even if it appears to be a phishing attempt.

I think from now on, just for the heck of it, I'll click on the links but modify some of the characters in the URL. Hopefully someone else in my/some company will be notified that they need training.
> Do you think that being a teacher is easier than being a medical doctor?

What the hell does that matter?

Look, I'm not saying there isn't value to public education. And I'm not saying that educators don't provide a valuable and important service. But forcing public education as the panacea for finding all the ways parents fail their children is sub-optimal.

If you want to find abuses, diseases, malnutrition, etc, then let's mandate yearly doctor visits. I'd back that up WAY more than forced public education.
They failed you for a negative result to such a test?

I agree, this should only be for 'positive' results (getting hooked).
The reliance on the severely distorted plutocratic ownership of 0x, Ethereum, and most of the cryptocoin supplies is a huge risk factor that is often conveniently swept under the rug.

By building on 0x, or other cryptocoin software it's essential to be aware of the elephants/whales in the "economy" of cryptocoins and tokens.
Show HN: TSol, a transpiler to make Solidity Assembly more manageable
Apple takes a more long-term view of health self-care than “weight loss” alone can encompass, and so it wouldn’t surprise me if a phrase that is highly prone to fraud and snake oil outside the App Store was eventually punished.

“Reach and maintain your target weight” with at least one screenshot showing an increase phase and a maintenance phase rather than decrease would be vastly more inclusive and health-forward than today’s “weight loss only” content.

Is this app useful for recovering anorexics, or for maintaining a target weight after reaching it? I imagine it is, but I couldn’t tell from its App Store page.

I think you're looking at different school systems and using it to leverage criticisms of home schooling in the US.

Fix public schooling in the US first, make it so it isn't so easy for home schoolers to out perform. Don't make kids guinea pigs while you figure out how to fix it. Then and only then can you level a critical eye on US home schoolers if the vast majority weren't doing a better job than public schools. If you're going to advocate for public school in the US, advocate in what ways that schools today by majority statistics are better than home schooling (socialization actually isn't one of them). Because all I see is a system that is 100 years out of date, anti-science (in terms of teaching methodology and pedagogy versus neuroscience and child development studies) and throwing money at problems that goes to the administrators not to teacher pay or reducing class sizes or anything substantial.
Is this bad faith or unbelievable incompetence on Apple's part?

It's tempting to assume the former, but I seriously suspect the latter.

As a user I've seen this happen repeatedly. Search can't find an app even if I enter the name.

This happens for mundane but specialised apps - train timetables, toll payment apps, and other apps for which there is literally no alternative, never mind one that might somehow sell better and make more money.

I don't see how this possibly benefits Apple. Possibly there's some not very effective "optimisation" happening, but it's also possible search is just plain broken.
I also incidentally found an easy a filter for these. I found once that our proxy auto config has 10 misspelled domain names. Those are all used for the Phishing Tests.
We need a jobs retraining program that people like him can avail of. And companies who move jobs overseas must be made to pay for retraining these folks for other jobs. They shouldn't be allowed to just pull up stakes and move out without some repercussions.
My personal favorite analogue are coal seam fires, which can render areas inhospitable and burn for hundreds or thousands of years.
Precisely. Religions are in decline among the younger generations. By the time we go to Mars as a colonizing species, hopefully we won't bring "faith to a deity" with us.
Personally, I find it amusing because "smoothness" is something that I consider completely unimportant. (I do understand that I am not representative of the average user.)
> Well the good thing about a marketplace is that when you act poorly at one business, you can still visit another one.

We’re quickly heading to an Uber/Lyft duopoly. And they use similar ratings systems. Soooooo, I’m not sure what your point is. This isn’t a market, it’s a VC funded takeover of transportation.
It is well known that school results are mostly explained by socioeconomic status (I read somewhere up to 75% of the variance can be explained that way). So if you don't take into account other factors that graph doesn't prove anything other than people who can afford private schools and homescholing are on average richer. My guess is that the rest of the data can be explained by smaller class sizes and better resources.

If you want more research this [0] article has a good bibliography on the effects of socioeconomic diversity in schools

The Canada Revenue Agency wouldn't accept my tax filing until after 6am. This year.
>I just get in the car, keep quiet, and get out at the end (same as I've always done with taxis).

I am very much a talker and I was all about being chatty with drivers back when Uber was still a new thing. Several years later and I wish this artifact of a bygone era in ride sharing would go away. It didn't bother me when 100% of my usage of Uber centered around a responsible, sober ride to and from social events where myself and everyone in my party were in a social mood. Now that my usage of Uber is closer to a 50/50 split between a sober driver and "I just need a taxi to get me to work after dropping my car off for an oil change", I hate that one's willingness to socialize is considered a key metric for one's user rating.

Taxi ettitquette wasn't the most friendly thing in the world but it worked for a service that was most frequently used by people already in a bad mood due to some outside inconvenience.

Side note, I just checked and somehow I have a 4.95... I am definitely not that friendly.
I think that's because lots of people take English because "I want to write" or "I want to teach English", and get stuck in the mindset that they HAVE to do that, compete with all the other English teachers out there, and don't think outside the box at all to use it to lead them to something more lucrative.

My fiancee majored in Creative Writing and she ended up using it to write proposals for major companies and moved up and is now a marketing and proposal manager and making pretty decent money.

When writing proposals she has to think a lot about how to sell the company and their business and that's been leading to a greater focus on business strategy lately too, so she could potentially make the leap into an executive position before too much longer.
If nothing else, consider this. If all it takes to cause a 3-5MT explosion is to get uranium hot and poor water on it, why would anyone go to the effort of developing a more complex weapon? The entire Manhattan project could have been easily solved if it was this simple, and even then the Fat Man and Little Boy bombs only yielded between 13-22kT. It wasn't until 7 years after WWII that the US managed to conduct a test that broke the mega-ton barrier. More complex H-bombs are required for this.

But regardless, we're picking nits here. It's a fun read and I enjoy your stories, so I wasn't intending to pick on you.
Lots of random extracurriculars like:

"Travel to Paris"

"Viking Art and History"

"Waldorf Form drawing"

"The History of Halloween"

They also get to see the instructor and interact with them and other kids.
It's probably unconstitutional to eliminate zoning restrictions from the federal level. And even if it's possible, it would be political suicide, and even if it happened, it would have a lot of unintended consequences.
We will eventually be wiped out by an asteroid strike no matter what we do.
I think in general Paul Stamets is not a scientist per se in the form of writing papers and doing academic research but it is hard to deny his influence as a popularizer of mycology. He also writes about the study and growing of mushrooms and these include the edible not just the psychoactive kind. I know he has done some bioremediation demonstrations but perhaps according to the poster these weren't performed with enough scientific rigor. Not everyone who studies and shares information about something does so from the confines of the traditional academic background and not everyone needs a PhD to be an expert about something so perhaps that is why some people are down voting.
JDBC is the low level connection standard. Everything I am aware of is built ontop of JDBC.

Many people use the JPA libraries like Hibernate and EclipseLink. Another popular ORM is (my|i)batis. JDBI also seems to have a decent following.

After years of using ORMs, I vastly prefer interfaces like HugSQL unless I'm building a dead simple CRUD app. (I'm never building simple CRUD apps.)
One of the reasons you'll pry Evolution from my cold dead hands is Right Click -> Create Filter -> @domain.co.uk and done.

I have filters for almost everything, my boss goes into one folder and gets set one color, automated notifications from my internal system another (green if everything is OK, orange if there is something I really need to look at).

What I really* want is a desktop client that exposes a nice clean Python (or similar) API so I can automate even further - I mean Python has everything I want if I want to do that from the CLI/cron but having it built in would be really nice.

> What if you actually reduce track / signaling / control / facilities cost massively by virtue of using self-powered autonomous vehicles?

The problem is that it's hard to carry more people into a tunnel than a metro train (excepting forcing everyone to become pedestrians). The proposed replacement for metro trains is so capacity inefficient that you're going to spend more building parallel tunnels, and you'll probably have an even more egregious problem of vertical circulation. Vertical circulation is already an issue of concern on the busiest passenger systems, and trying to move heavy, bulky, low-capacity personal vehicles is far more difficult (requires far more space) than packing pedestrians as current systems do.
I'm on phone and don't have links, but a lot of progress has been made in cryptography as an effect of applied research related to blockchain projects. Zero-knowledge Proof systems, for example.

A lot of other stuff could be argued to fall on the border of Computer Science. Do networking protocols like TCP fall into CS? Then so should Lightning.
I do think that Greg Meredith et als research and at lesst one of IOHK's papers count too.
Agreed, especially with respect to Ethereum's governance. The ETC/ETH fork is still fresh in many peoples' minds.
>At the very least you're giving away everything your browser (even Lynx) puts in the headers of a request.

Which you're giving away any time you browse any external web site.

You're downloading cookies for most external web sites.

If the worst you do is the same as going to espn.com, then reprimand people for going to any external web site.

To be fair, TS has some pretty bad unsoundness problems, especially regarding co/contra variance in generics, and for example some annoying weirdness with number/string keys in objects. Still, the type system is one of the most amazing ones I know.
From what I saw, the hyped Boring tunnel cost savings he demoed were by comparing the cost of the tunnel he had built to the cost of a complete station.

Comparing apples to apples, it's competitive, and that's an achievement in itself, but they haven't proven anything like the savings he claimed.

That's a recurring theme with Musk's hype. It's great that he's taking a fresh look at these things, and in some cases he's found some genuine efficiencies, but the expectations he puts out is that the rest of industry is locked down into hopelessly obsolete and inefficient methods. That's just not true, but it's a very appealing story.

The meteor strike wiped out the dinosaurs, but not all life. Mars currently has no life. The strong implication is that, Earth post meteor strike would still be far, far, far more habitable for humans than Mars ever will be.

As far as why describing Mars as Earth's backup plan rubs people the wrong way, I think it's a bit like Noah's Ark. While there is absolutely the cute story about the boat full of animals, and it does make for a good story, there's also the "meanwhile literally everyone aside from a minuscule elect ends up dying" bit. Which would be nothing but sour grapes if you didn't see people holding up the possibility of colonizing other planets as a mitigating factor that implies that we really shouldn't be quite so worried about all the environmental damage that's happening here on Earth.
But you do.

Put it all together, and the complete narrative starts to sound like, "Sure, we're recklessly hurtling toward turning the planet into an inhospitable shithole for billions of people, but don't worry about that, because 0.00000005% of them are going to get to live on a completely different inhospitable shithole instead!"

Which, disclaimer, I'm not wanting to pan human space exploration. But I much prefer the "exploration for the sake of adventure and discovery" narrative. If that's not good enough, the ground to retreat to should be robots, not messianic fables for rich people.
Ok, sure, but you're picking on the pilots for not following Boeing's procedure exactly. And at the same time, WalterBright is picking on them for attempting to follow the procedure. And at the same time, I'm arguing that it's unclear if Boeing's procedure would have saved them at all.

The LionAir crash was a tragedy. The Ethiopian Airlines crash was not just a tragedy; it was a complete systemic failure to appropriately react.
Xbox prevents everyone from using a competing game store. No the Playstation does not compete with Xbox's game store.

Walmart prevents everyone from buying products from competing stores. No, Target does not compete with Walmart, you can't buy Great Value products at Target so they're in different markets.

Hacker News prevents everyone from using a competing site. No, reddit does not compete with Hacker News. If I click the "reply" button it only posts to Hacker News and not reddit so they're in different markets.

I guess by that definition everything is a monopoly. I'm going to sue to get my Coca Cola bottles filled with Pepsi under federal anti-trust laws.
IIRC, it was the book that was flagged, not him.
Got confused by the broken link too. Those aren't separate links. It's a single link, and given the name of the file is "poster-design.pdf", I don't think the PDF is very important. It's just an image that gives examples of what is probably covered. The real content is described below as the video lectures and notes of the class[1] and the github account[2]. There are also problem sets[3], and it recommends a couple of books[4][5], both of which are apparently free.

Tell your girlfriend that Uber drivers might lose their job if they drop to a 4.6 star average. 3 seems savage for a good ride.

There used to be windows embedded which had a different philosophy but was dropped on windows 10. Now we have IoT but figuring out the applicability and license model is tricky. It seems it’s another thing where MS isn’t sure what they really want so they crank out a ton of variations of the same thing and you have to guess what to use.
L stops in chicago are also very desirable locations. The parent is greatly overexaggerating the problems with elevated trains
