> there's all sorts of other environment, behavioural and heuristic patterns used to establish legitimacy.

Here's what annoys me: These "environment, behavioural and heuristic patterns" check for cookies, IP/location, typing speed or so, don't they. Which means, that if I (for enhanced privacy and security) frequently clear my cookies and habitually use a VPN and/or travel a lot and use a password manager and copy/paste the password, then I'm flagged as suspicious and just DOSed myself. Thank you very much.

I must admit though that most of the banks I use are reasonably good with that. Paypal, however, is just a total pain in the ass: basically every time I try to use it, it concludes that I'm brute forcing myself and blocks me.
Yev here -> very true, but for a backup those should only occur once and there's a free amount per day. The nice thing about our integration partners like Cloudberry is that they go through qualification and we help them develop so if their apps start to go haywire it's usually caught quickly and fixed rapidly. It's been pretty rare for the transaction calls to go haywire.

Another thing you can do to protect yourself if that's a big worry is by placing a Cap or an Alert for a transaction type. That way with an alert we'll notify you when you're nearing that cap so you'll have forewarning instead of just being charged (or if you set the cap, we'll stop until it's been lifted or reset).
For starters the first $103,900 is tax free if you qualify and are living abroad.

What it comes down to is that because of its size and economic power there is an enormous incentive for wealthy people who earn their income (in an actual sense, not a tax law menagerie sense) in the US to try to avoid US taxes by living abroad and moving assets, their "home", etc outside of US jurisdiction while still in reality earning their income from the US.

One of the basic benefits is always being able to return to the US. Being inside American borders is very much safer than being anywhere else if/when the next major global military issue arises.

You also get the benefits of the US legal system if you maintain ties, investments, etc.

If you don't want to pay those taxes you are welcome to renounce your citizenship, but you have to get another country to accept you first. (they won't revoke your citizenship if the result is your being stateless)
Thanks. This is new knowledge since I was at medical school.

The paper you link however is not at all convincing.

A better paper here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2019.0112...

Does a better job of explaining things. Interestingly the species isolated are highly homogenous - https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/454989/fmicb-10-0...

Most samples had only a single species isolated from meconium; Controlling for sources of contamination it looks like out of the sample of 43 there were several that would meet the classification of a sterile environment.

So, I was wrong; but so are you
It would have been more honest of them to come out and just admit “yea, this new design is terrible but it juices our metrics and makes us more money so deal with it if you want Reddit to survive.”

Also, Protip: in case anyone still doesn’t know, go to old.reddit.com for the previous, better interface. Who knows how long it will be kept alive though.

If a TV manufacturer added ads to my TV after purchase, I'd feel ethically obligated to return the purchase as defective.
We live in an age where nearly everyone has a smartphone capable of recording video, satellites record the earth, and ground cameras record the sky. You either have to believe there is some massive conspiracy to cover the truth, or you are seeing some mundane phenomenon for which you just don't have the explanation available to you.
This. It fits a lot of aspects of past "UFO" sightings that were actually just a reflection. The major issue in this case is multiple witnesses, and also supposedly multiple instruments detecting it (I've seen this claimed in comments but not the evidence itself)

If the thing behaves as though it has no inertia and does all these amazing movements, what else does? A reflection or otherwise illusory object can do all that easily, in fact thats the default behavior.

You're thinking of the remake; the 16-bit original was recently released as part of a trilogy bundle.
Ex. Alice follows Bob with weight of 0.5, Dave with 0.1

Bob scores content A as 0.8, B as 0.2

Dave scored content A as 0.4, B as 0.9

Alice downloads both lists.

Alice score content A as avg(0.8 * 0.5, 0.4 * 0.1) = 0.22

Alice scores content B as avg(0.2 * 0.5, 0.9 * 0.1) = 0.095

Content A gets sorted higher than B.
I definitely am (but we are on Hacker News after all).

Without knowing anything about this particular issue, at a basic level I'd think any non-trivial site should have a system of rolling out changes to a small percentage of servers and have automated monitoring that fires alerts if it notices any disruptions in functionality. If nothing goes wrong then gradually roll out to 100%. If something does then stop the rollout and go back to the last stable version. Then engineers can look at what went wrong.
As I understand it "observation" is any interaction that leads to decoherence. No complex neural wetware required.
I grew up in the middle of no where in rural Scotland, one night from my bedroom window I watched a glowing orb do crazy acrobatics in the air for about an hour, my sister and mum saw it as well. I'll have to ask her how she found him, but my mum contacted some guy who catalogued UFO reports in Scotland. Part of his investigation was contacting the police, my mum kept the letter they sent back: http://john.je/235ca4350b78

Still gives me chills remembering watching it.
Really neat to see this girl redefining the scope of what is possible for both young girls/women and people on the spectrum. You can tell the people that react with hysterics towards her are truly, deeply upset about the status quo shifting.
This creates echo chambers like 4chan, 8chan, pleroma.site, gab.com & /r/The_Donald where likeminded people gather and decide bashing in the heads of LGBTQ+ people like myself is perfectly acceptable, and proceed to act out their hate in my community (Ballard, WA).

My fellow trans and gay friends have lived in Seattle without issue for decades, but now Nazis are coming here from rural Washington to attempt to murder us. This is a huge change from the past, and SPD's hate crime statistics are up significantly due to this.
Your comment doesn't address the parent's question.

Forget about streaming services, you can rent nearly every big screen movie ever from iTunes, Google Play, or Amazon, instantly for $3-6 dollars. Adjusting for inflation, these prices are very much comparable with what video rental stores used to offer. iTunes alone has more than 100k movies (for perspective Netflix doesn't even have 10k).

Many in this thread (and to a lesser extent the article) are acting like movie watchers want to pay money, but it's just too complicated to do so. Renting a movie on iTunes/Play/Amazon is at least as easy as torrenting something, and the selection is massive.

"If I can watch any movie ever for $10/month, I'll do it, but otherwise I'll just pirate them" is a very strange viewpoint IMHO. I would like unlimited groceries for $10/month, but I'm not going to just to stealing them because that's not an option.
What organic phenomenon moves around like that? is what we asked ourselves.

One of the people with me was from Columbia University and he is as 'rational' as they come, even he was baffled...
Wow, so quick. Thank you.
I think self managed censoring is equally impossible.

It is twitter’s model, and it puts an incredible burden on the most targeted or vulnerable users.

Or to get back to reddit, the model works for people who stay focused on a very limited set of subs; I think that would be close to your idea of personally tailored censoring, but it goes too far in the other direction IMO, unexpected information becomes very hard to reach people.

Mining would have no monetary incentivization, so the people left controlling the network are the ones who are incentivized to push a message on your new distributed reddit.

Like with all things that have a vacuum of power, it will be filled by someone - most likely not who you really want to fill it either.
(By the way, I didn't downvote you) I agree that Trump has no great respect for truth and facts. I also think the left is doggedly pursuing him in its own anti-factual aspirations. I see your sharpiegate and raise you the Covington Catholic affair (the most prominent news outlets in the country overtly slandering children, ostensibly on the basis of their race and gender) or the Google memo (same idea) or the sokal squared hoax (moderate academics submit patently absurd papers to leftist academic journals and the journals publish them). I could go on and on and I'm sure you could too--that's my point. I would alledge that Trumpism's mirror image is progressive social justice culture.

It's actually done by little gnomes inside the qubits.
Thanks for this clear explanation of why this rule exists. Never understood it until now.
And too big to be laser pointers?
Anyone in this thread familiar with Electronic Warfare? Specifically, the EW arms race between a guided missile's "eyes", and decoy signals created by things that don't want to get hit by said missiles? (Or, better yet, between large-scale MIRV missiles, that don't want their warheads to get hit by interceptor systems, and the sensors on those interceptor counter-missiles. In that case, you'd call these techniques https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_aid s.)

Consider that we now have reasonably-cheap, high-quality cameras and feature-detection ASICs that we can plop into missiles. Oh, and wide-band software-defined radios, too, to cheaply range-find our targets all over the spectrum. (Remember, SDR radios are expensive for consumers, but that's an artificial supply-limit, precisely because of their military applications.) Consider what sort of decoys would be required to trick all that fancy sensor tech. Now consider what such decoy emissions would look like to human eyes, or any other sensor. If you can trick a Sufficiently-Advanced Missile, you can trick anything.

(For fun, also consider the modern menagerie of cheaply-available parts that you could shove into such a decoy: a laser rangefinder, a short-throw projector, an optical stabilization array, some negative-index metamaterial "scales" that can be flipped on and off—like those glittery pillows!—some more SDRs, a MIMO signal-shaping antenna array. Oh, and an ultrasonic humidifier, because emissions won't diffract off of thin, non-turbulent air.)

Presume you have a bunch of these mesh-networked together (or all slaved to a stealthed aircraft so far above that it's out of range of your instrumentation unless you know exactly where to look), and that they're built with hard real-time links to one-another such that they can execute perfectly-timed hand-offs of the emissions-signature they're working together to project.

In short, picture a bunch of projectors you can't find, working to create a moving multi-spectral hologram in the sky. Picture one of the projector-drones gliding into place "underneath" the projection, just in time to give off a sonar return—and then wandering away again.

None of this is impossible. None of this is even particularly challenging if you spend $100MM/yr on it. And this is just what someone who doesn't know about any of the classified stuff can imagine.
If you have a reasonable amount of space be sure to take a look at the projector market. My current-model Epson is dumb as a rock, and as far as I can tell the majority of projectors are. The picture is better than most TVs to boot.
> Planes have blinking lights, right?

Not necessarily - they can be turned off, non-functional, or drowned out by a brighter light like the landing lights from a distance.

> One of them disappeared in a flash...

Or someone flipped the landing lights switch.

I saw a C-17 at night while staying near Fort Drum that I was completely baffled by until it got close enough to properly make out. Had it stayed away, I'd have had one of those "inexplicable" encounters people talk about too.
Kubernetes 1.16
If it were just recorded by one sensor that would have been my initial assumption. This was (unless I am totally confused or misreading things) recorded by more than one unit and there were associated visual sightings.

My best money would be on something experimental of ours being tested against our own aircraft, like some kind of decoy or jamming device.
I was hoping this blog post would be about the Chrome team speeding up JSON parsing. On a website I made[1] with a ~1MB JSON ajax payload, Chrome takes about 18 seconds to parse the JSON, while Safari parses it pretty much instantaneously.

EDIT: Does anyone know if there's something I could do differently to speed this up in Chrome?
Swiss banks were doing business in the US, setting up offices in the US, and literally counseling American clients on how to export their assets. These were Americans living in America doing business with Swiss banks on American soil in order to avoid taxes.

Several banks have been stomped on for this behavior, the "oldest bank in the world" closed as a result and there have been many other actions.

If you don't want to deal with American taxes, renounce your citizenship, or earn less than $100k abroad.
I wonder if it used a publicly available style? I like how some stuff looks, I'd like to experiment with this.
Do it in Rust, so it will never crash.
Can you even sign up for T-Mobile One anymore? I thought they had replaced it with 'Magento' or whatever and grandfathered One.
Your comment gave me an idea. I'm not going to do it alone (I think), but someone should do it.

Start a podcast/educational website on the history of tech.

For anyone who wants to do it together and see if it's a fun project to pursue, email me :) (in my profile)

Or are there already podcasts on it? If so, I haven't seen it appear on HN.
That's absolutely untrue. If you show me a picture of an unfamiliar machine, I might not know what it is, but I can tell you definitely that it's not, say, a walrus.
I've seen this claimed but do we actually have confirmed source of that (multiple instruments detecting the same thing)?
Prior to announcing that they were shutting down hire, you had to call to cancel so they could convince you not to. Now that it's sunsetted, they changed the rules so you can do it within the console so they don't have to listen to you yell at them about how annoyed you are about them shuttering yet another great product.
I meant, my particular career path was ridiculous and non-replicable. it was very dependent on the specific time and place that I was living for starters and overall everything about my career was based on very unlikely things that aren't occurring anymore (such as getting a job in the same 6 month period that the "internet" first became monetized, with a very specific set of people, etc.)
PUBG regularly goes down for 4+ hour updates during prime NA server time. :/
Even if you know what it is, if you refuse to identify it, and you're the only one who can, then it's unidentified as far as everyone else is concerned.
How do you navigate the purchase of commercial signage display? I tried to do some research a few months ago, and manufacturers' and retailers' sites were all punishingly awful in being clear about specs, geographic (in Canada) availability, which models were discontinued and unavailable, actual pricing, etc.
Usually cars meet emissions standards by increasing their MPG, so you'd pay less for gas.
I'm still not buying how they could be on a big deployment off the east coast of the US and didn't have any other sensors pick it up besides two pilots next to each other with FLIR camera autotracking it momentarily.

Not to mention the constant satellite and aerial radar coverage and other networked stuff they have for these big deployments.

This isn't in the middle of the Indian ocean like the missing Malaysian plane.

At the end of the day we're left with another single location, single perspective anecdote which there were already countless before.
You basically want to be looking at projectors, they meet all your requirements, and they’re not generally “smart”.
>The problem with all anti-censorship platforms is that they become hate platforms by default

Popper's Paradox made reality. I still remember Voat blowing up because their lawyers started making them remove comments inciting violence.
This is pretty cool, but, like, what’s the point? What problem is this trying to solve? How does printing hello world out of a printer with dots on it help us at all? Why would we want to align pieces of paper in order to do IO? How is this supposed to change the world like PARC or Bell Labs?

Don’t get me wrong I would love to play around with stuff. But that’s what it is, playing. Do you think any of the people who work there when working on a personal side project are like: “I can solve the problem of <foo> by printing out sheets of paper and organizing them on a table!” I would hesitate to call this project masturbation, but it comes close. Or just call it art, that would be fine too (just don’t pretend it’s going to matter all that much).

Developing a new fediverse is excessive, but it is unlikely a new sorting algorithm will be added to mastodon soon.
I think it's worth discussing this comment instead of downvoting it.

There was a lot of controversy around the copyright expiration of Mein Kampf in Germany a few years ago. The Bavarian government owned the copyright and refused to allow it to be printed. When the copyright expired, annotated versions were released, putting the book in context. There are certain disadvantages that not printing had: making the book more mysterious and taboo, and leaving the text to stand on its own when it was acquired (thus having no space for rebuttals, historical comments, etc.).

Personally I lean toward keeping these kinds of things but annotating them and providing ample context - the equivalent of a study on history or a museum exhibit. Maybe we as a species can learn from our mistakes. It's not like forgetting these texts will prevent the same conditions that created the rise of fascism and genocide.
Both are possible. The latter is more likely in a textbook epistemological sense because we know black budget military vehicles exist while we don't have any proof aliens exist.
Yeah and the pilots conversing about it in real time as well. It's definitely a much higher-quality datum than most so-called UFO videos for sure
Lol, I literally used Ghost for a while and used Jekyll to convert it into a static blog. It allowed me to use Markdown to quickly write blog posts. Jekyll would create a static version of my public localhost, and I'd push it to Github.
> Is everyone just putting up with the shitty built-in smart interface, but then switching inputs to their separate unit of choice?

I frequently use hdmi but I still use the my tvs smart functions as it has dedicated amazon and netflix buttons and other buttons to control those apps. Works 99% of the time perfectly and than I'm not at risk of hdmi cable connections to my laptop so i use it all the time. Oh, and mine was a pretty good deal at the time (65 inch with 4k and smart functions for $1,000 3.5 years ago). What is so shitty about the smart tv functions you use?
You might be interested in a tool I wrote to serve .har files called server-replay: https://github.com/Stuk/server-replay

It also allows you to overlay local files, so you can change code while reusing server responses.
I suspect we won't learn what this is until there's another major armed conflict bringing all the latest toys out of the shed.
If that's the case, why not read the pilots into the test, even at a summary level?

If the Navy had told the pilots, "You just experienced an advanced technology test. Nothing to worry about" then they would have undoubtedly kept their mouths shut and not talked to the media.
Historically UFO sightings spike at times of high and amorphous cultural anxiety. Sometimes they turn out to be radar quirks, or experimental aircraft, or nothing at all. But if anything, given the culture, I’m surprised we don’t see more UFOs.
There is something really special about the graph database space. For as long as the space has been around (15 or so years), every vendor and dedicated practitioner has taken solid jabs at trying to realize "the best way" to think about graph traversals.

This behavior seems particular to the graph space (vs. document, wide-column, relational, key/value, etc.). While this speaks to the complexity of the type of problems you can solve with graphs, thinking back, I believe this was a cultural anomaly. When it was Neo4j, OrientDB, TinkerPop: the language trifurcation occurred.

I'm excited that Neo4j is continuing to take the query language seriously. In an age when software development is about making it easy for the 90% of developers out there with REST APIs, GraphQL, and overly SQL'd embeddings, ... graph is still searching for "that best way."

I, personally, have moved on from language-level. However, our new work is going to help my fellow data system colleagues get there languages exposed to as many developers as possible regardless of data model. It is important to me that people can come to respect the numerous ways in which we think about data and has the language we use is so important. The difference between living in Plato's Cave or not.

In an effort to support query languages in general, I'll be working on mm-ADT designing a new cluster-oriented virtual machine architecture for storage, processing, and query language developers. I see a veritable Tower of Babel on the horizon!

Congrats Neo4j on reaping the benefits of your hard work. I hope our work will converge in for a positive collaboration in 2020.
Not saying your experience isn't valid, but it's actually the too-tight glasses for my big head that give me headaches for 3D movies, not the actual 3D feature.

Don't care enough about 3D to buy my own 3D glasses though, so solution (don't watch 3D movies) is the same.
The argument made was "Because they're successful at something very hard, surely they must be competent."
