I have been seeing some strange calls from my wife phone and yet am unable to locate her phone or even get the number that have been calling her. i was so lucky enough that i went online to hire a hacker who was gonna help me in tracking my wife phone and also giving me access to her phone. while i was searching i saw webmaster6099@gmail.com as the best and i hired him this hacker was so good that he delivered me with my wife call logs, deleted call logs, all calls where recorded from last year till date i also had access to her text messages and also deleted messages. all this i had access right on my phone just with a very cheap price.
AmigaOS Workbench 1.2 had an easter egg displaying the title of this post in the menubar. Turns out engineers from Los Gatos office were pissed and included this in the release.

I've long forgotten the key combination and actions to trigger but luckily Amiga History Guide is still up http://www.amigahistory.plus.com/messages.html

Here's the demo of the easter egg on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omMOuyTLmyg&feature=youtu.be...

The article doesn't explain how they intend to enforce this ban. A recalled MacBook looks identical to the non-recalled ones, so this seems like a pointless rule.
Ask HN: Should I Give Up Software Development to Pursue Data Science?
Hello fellow HNers!

I'm 23 and I've been programming since my teenages and found no problem being hired short after high school.

However, since January I've been working at a company where there are academic and non-academic engineers in a split proportion. Since then, I've been under a constant impostor syndrome pressure inside my head.

Before joining my current workplace, I always thought I was a good programmer for my level and that during time I would become a Senior one after getting more experience. I just needed to keep working and learning new languages/frameworks.

Now, I'm being exposed to more theoretical concepts all the time and after looking at the curriculum of my co-workers and their Masters/PhD thesis I started to fell like I know nothing, I just know how to press keys and watch the compiler do its work.

Since then, I feel like I'm just a replaceable worker in an industry that now just employs me/pays me well because we are in the middle of a tech bubble that will inevitably end — leaving behind only those that know well the hard science stuff. This feeling started to worsen as I read articles foreseeing that developers will be replaced by neural networks some time in the future. How would you approach this issue?
Versions prior to HTTP/2 give the appearance of being simple but in actuality there are many many edge cases that also are the cause of vulnerabilities.

HTTP/2's binary syntax addresses some of those edge cases mainly through better-formed header fields and a common chunking of body data.

SCTP is undeployable on the Internet. HTTP/2 is deployed on the Internet. It brings multiplexing and of course that brings some additional complexity and constraints. But these have proven more deployable than HTTP/1.x-style solutions such a pipe lining.

HTTP/3 is actually a simpler application mapping than HTTP/2. This is due to the complexity getting pulled into the transport. But it's a zero sum game, just moving the concerns around doesn't mean they are automatically fixed.

Is model/serial number scanning something that the existing machines do? I've never heard of the TSA having that capability.
The observer moving away from the SMBH would see the event proceed more slowly. The light curve would therefore be stretched out in time --- the source would get brighter more slowly and would get dimmer more slowly. This is actually an important effect that needs to be accounted for in supernova observations in distant galaxies since time dilation is non-negligible.
> It took me a long time to get past my feelings of loss when we saw the future slip away.

I think that for many Amiga users, they've never gotten over their feelings of loss. Among retrocomputing enthusiasts, Amiga users are an extra odd bunch -- often making and selling commercial shrink wrapped software for years.

While it's not entirely unusual for people to put effort into a special game or whatnot for their favorite retrocomputer, and charge people for a special nostalgia filled limited run, Amiga users seem strangely tied to trying to make creating Amiga stuff a viable commercial venture [1][2][3] it's as quaint as it is bizarre these days.

I believe that because the speed of light is the same in any inertial frame reference.. If you were two light minutes away from the event in the SMBHs inertial frame at the event and traveling toward the earth at a speed sufficient to reach it at the same time as the light from the event.. You would arrive at the earth at the same time as the light but only 2 minutes will have passed in your frame of reference?

Am I missing something? Weren't the 2016 models the ones that changed to USB-C, q flatter keyboard, etc.? Those don't look identical to the 2015 and earlier models
Okay, but does Apple change the serial number when you send it in to get it fixed? How are they supposed to know that I already sent mine in and got a replacement battery from Apple? Guess I have to carry proof around with me?

(To be clear I’m not arguing with the poster I’m directly responding to. Just trying to think through this process like the OP mentioned.)

As a kid the family in Little House on the Prairie was presented as being wholly self sufficient and reliant. Which made me wonder, if so where did dads rifle come from? The leather, the iron for the horse shoes and nails, the cotton cloth for their clothes?

Right. The wheat they sold went out on the train and the train delivered all those things. And when their crops failed and they busted out the city slickers charity saved them from staving.
This seems like a prudent approach: Catalog objects and events according to the things we can measure on earth right now, since our direct measurements (calendar dates, spectral lines, etc.) are probably quite accurate, but the inferred distances might change in the future as we improve our overall empirical and theoretical knowledge. With the exception of the timing of an event, we can go back and re-measure the other things if we can at least find the same object later.
The funny thing is this used to happen. In the early days, you ask a simple question, you would get the answer in the search results, before they introduced feature snippets. The problem was, because no one was clicking on these useful sites, they were downgraded in the listings to sites that hid the useful info so you had to click on it.

I hope it works. The problem in Pakistan is trash in general, Pakistan needs a country wide "don't litter" campaign, sort of what happened in many developed countries.

Plastic bags just happen to be the most pervasive and visible source of trash.

There aren't many places to throw trash, the norm is to just throw trash anywhere outside your house. Even the more upscale suburbs in the big cities have essentially no trash cans, and the garbage collection areas are open dumps, so plastic bags fly all over the place.

The trash is sometimes picked up and burnt, or other times just burnt in place, and the smell is toxic as there is generally a lot of plastic.

The whole plastic bag problem has a huge cost on basic city infrastructure: In most of Karachi, every drain and sewer pipe is either choked with plastic bags, or has just been cleared and will get choked again in due time. And so every time it rains, the city floods, and there is a grand proclamation of building more drains and sewers.

In North Pakistan, around the most remote and beautiful lakes, ones where no one lives as they are too high and remote, many have plastic bags scattered all around, most I assume carried there by the winds from nearby towns/villages, as some of the ones I visited don't get enough visitors to have thrown the amount of plastic bags I saw.

Visiting places (again) which used to be pristine not that long ago really hit home how much we humans have spread our "stuff" everywhere.

Edit: The ban is a bit too harsh. Should have been rolled out slowly, to give ppl more time to adapt, like targeting larger stores (which are in the tax net and thus easy to monitor and punish) and then rolling it to other stores, and finally everyone.
It will probably be quite effective. Travelers will see these articles, and airlines will probably send out reminders to people not to bring these machines on the plane. Most people with them will get them fixed or leave them at home, and the risk is greatly diminished.

It's not a bomb where any failure to keep it off the planes is catastrophic. They can afford to have some people defying the ban.

> Prices kept going up and more dates kept getting blocked out.

If prices were going up and attendance was still rising, Disney had two options: 1) keep raising prices to the point where attendance rates dropped to a manageable level, or 2) keep prices fixed and put stricter caps on attendance for specific dates. Being the cutthroat megacorp that it is, Disney picked option #1 because it's more profitable. If attendance drops enough, prices will go back down again.

That's interesting that you are able to predict the actions of and speak for, the Chinese military. I'm skeptical though of a 3 year old name with 3 comments, two of which are from today and similar in tone and grammar to other obvious Chinese propoganda posts.

There's dramatization, and there's outright lying. Nothing will happen to you if you follow your own disclosure policy instead of Google's.

If you also want to participate in the program where you get paid by Google, then sure, you have to play by some of their rules. Similarly, nowhere does Project Zero say they expect to get paid if they don't follow the vendor's rules.
You can open the MBP up and show the agent your About Mac window in the setting menu. It has the serial number, but more importantly, it will tell them the year of the laptop (mine says mid 2014).
You’re correct. If you listen to what he’s actually saying it’s told from the perspective of Hader and it only shifts when he’s doing an impression of Cruise or Rogan.
Hmmmm....I think the recession has already started.
I think the subtlety of Hader/Cruise makes it even more disturbing.

There are many reasons why the A380 didn't have a large market, which would indirectly contribute to its cost effectiveness. But there's a dominant, ELI5 narrative that says that the A380 was intrinsically uncompetitive because 4 engined planes couldn't be as fuel efficient as 2 engined planes. Maybe that's true, but I found the counter argument interesting and persuasive.

I think this is the article I originally read,

https://leehamnews.com/2018/12/13/has-the-a380-worse-economi...

Indeed, that was kind of my first point. I don't know the viability of a model that requires users to jump through an extra hoop (click and wait). That's the "splash screen" or "landing page" problem. I also wonder how many of those sites are really making any money even before ad blocking.

FWIW I block ads because they are intrusive, as well as for speed.
Not readily readable to the human eye. It requires light from the right angle and reading at the right distance. I could totally see Apple providing designer reading tables to TSA for exactly this purpose rather than changing the readability of the text on the outside of the case.
Whew... Loaded question ;) I understand where you are coming from. One way to look at it is that in the world that we currently live in there is much to be done to increase transparency and affordability. One of the statistics that propelled us to work on this problem was a survey that showed almost half of Americans avoid or delay care despite illness or injury because they don't know the cost. By at least starting that conversation about finances up front we hope to alleviate a lot of those fears, and the good news is that about 5% of patients have responded to our partners with messages saying "I can't afford this." and 100% of the time we have been able to connect them to a payment plan or to charitable funds to help them get the care they need. To us that seems better than not having the conversation and sending people to collections when they could never have afforded the service to begin with.

It's definitely not perfect, and there are many that are suffering, but we do feel strongly that our solution is a force for good in the current environment.
Sounds pretty rational to me.

The immigration angle I understand (it does hurt/compete with our working/labor class). The breastfeeding thing has me scratching my head. I've seen plenty of women breastfeeding and it has never bothered me or even caught my attention beyond "oh she is feeding her kid". I suppose some people do get caught up on dumb shit.
US dollar is pretty much steady against the Euro from 2016 levels. The AUD fall is because of our mismanaged economy.

AFAIK I don't have any hearing loss. I wouldn't say that I have attention issues but I can't stand distracting environments - I enjoy loud music if it's a concert and that's what I'm there for, but otherwise I can't stand it.

I agree with your assessment. I pretty much don't go to bars because of the suckiness. You can't have a worthwhile conversation, so it's just constant drinking in an oppressive environment.

On that second point, we don't know that yet. It didn't exist during the last recession, so it's still a guess as to what'll happen.

In-flight fires are some of the deadliest issues one mzy encounter. They can indeed be catastrophic.
The costs probably went up for the same reason healthcare, education, and rent/housing* costs have gone up relative to inflation: they have not been able to take significant advantage of automation and outsourcing like most everything else has. It's one of the high-hanging fruits of automation and outsourcing.

(I'm not putting a general value judgment on overseas outsourcing here, only saying that it lowered prices.)

We're reading about them because they are the center of attention and they leak.

But I also have a sense that lots of things that were considered positives in the early days of the Internet have become negatives, or are simply taken for granted. For example, growth was once considered good, but now it's bad. Giving services away for free is ho-hum at best and maybe suspicious. Trying to fix Internet problems is greeted with deep suspicion based solely on who is doing it. Personalization was once good, but now it's bad. And so on.

That's inevitably going to result in a different internal culture at an Internet company than back in the days when Google's search engine first appeared on the Internet and got near-universal respect.

I agree with what jdsfighter said - you should go to the doctor to get some confidence that there isn't some sort of underlying heart issue. After that though, it's really a mental game that requires/required some therapy.

My panic attacks last from 3-10 minutes typically and can go up to 90 minutes. I wear an Apple Watch which would (hopefully) let me know if I had an arrhythmia. I also check my heart rate when I'm having a panic attack (which sometimes doesn't help) and I try to see if it's consistently going up, or if with deep breathing I'm able to get it to go down. Lastly, I have the xanax, which usually fully kicks in within 10-15 minutes. My attacks have the shortness of breath, feeling like I can't catch my breath, rapid heart rate, tunnel vision, etc. I try to find a calm/quiet space to relax, listen to my Calm app, and if I'm lucky, lay down for a bit.
from the black hole's perspective, the observer would be travelling slowly in time. But from the observer's perspective, the black hole would be travelling slowly in time (since the observer sees themselves as being at rest, and the black hole as shooting away from them).

Good point. I don't really expect TSA to carry out what I proposed above, I should have included a /s. It was more to show how straight forward it is to check any device you have physical access to.
I would guess the opposite: the surface appearance is the easy part; articulating human mannerisms in a way that's not just convincing, but compelling, will remain one of the very hardest things for computers to replicate.

Acting, as a craft, only ever had coincidental ties to physical appearance. What it really is is the talent of being human. I think what we'll see is a lot of pretty faces who aren't actually that good at acting exiting the business, while upcoming talent won't have its career limited by birth attributes. It should be very interesting.
Are you suggesting the victim is "oppressors" to the protestors? Or, are you suggesting anyone from "The state of China" should be tagged as "enemy"? How do you define "willing supporters"? Did the victim attack protestors? How comes slaughter a human being (even if an enemy) becomes natural right in a civilized society?
(Gatekeeping intensifies.)
I think the question I generally ask is what are the alternatives? There are so many developers tools but very few built for the uniqueness of mobile.
Counterpoints:

1. We don't have videos of The Gettysburg address. History existed before video.

2. There will never be another generation (in the near future) like boomers who didn't grow up tech savvy

3. Videos, like any form of documentation, are anecdotal evidence easily manipulated by what's "not in the frame"

4. The general problem you are describing comes from a faulty attribution of truth to video in our current day and age. The sooner we dismiss that the better

Yes, the transition will be awkward, but no need for hysteria.
In what legal jurisdiction can you use a 10 MHz bandwidth channel under <30 MHz (where you actually get ionospheric bounce (sometimes))?

And even worse than the answer to that (nowhere) is that in the USA the data rate limit is actually in terms of symbol rate, not bandwidth used, to a mere 300 baud for the bands that have regular non-line of sight propagation.
Except that being a parent is not a disease; a kid is not a sickness and it has nothing to do with healthcare. The mother recovering after giving birth is a health care matter, but that usually takes 6 weeks in most countries.

I fully agree that USA has a major problem with the healthcare system, but that is a different matter.
My MacBook model / year matches the recall, but my serial number isn't eligible. Does that mean I need to go to Apple's recall webpage and input the serial number at the TSA checkpoint? This is going to be interesting.
