Your comment made me audibly laugh at the notion that most companies would have a committee checking PR and Jira tickets for PII. I've worked at plenty of companies, even ones at the scale of Twitter and larger, that don't approach anything even remotely close to that level of sophistication. I've seen audits uncover precisely what the GP comment is talking about. IME, it's not at all uncommon for someone to send an email saying "hey can I get a dump of usernames and phone numbers" and some naive engineer dumps it into a CSV file and sends it to whoever. Hell, most of the places I consulted at don't even consider phone numbers to be protected PII.

I don't mean to defend Twitter in any way, but I could easily see this being an oversight or a mistake.
I got one of these takedown notices. It's totally inappropriate, but I'm not going to waste time fighting it. The maddening thing is I didn't even link to the code; I linked to their FAQ, the document that explains why their clean room implementation is non-infringing. https://whatfreewords.org/faq.html

They're abusing the DMCA to shut down discussion.
His point is a great many people are familiar with this algorithm by way of working with Python.

You can certainly be happy not knowing the tools of your trade very intimately, but that's definitely not something to encourage.
That's generous, that sort of offer I must admit I would think about ghosting them and putting that company on my personal never call list.
Couldn't agree more with this perspective on mentorship. You nailed it.
You can't really exploit cheap labor and buy huge amount of cheap stuff and then expect those people to not buy anything back from you. And yeah, they'll not be buying the same kind of crap from you that they're manufacturing and selling to you. So they buy land, companies, anything comparatively valuable to them that they can afford.

You can prevent foreigners from buying/owning land/property in US, but that will just lower the value of US dollars held by foreigners significantly and your currency will crash in value.

The foreigners already hold too much US dollars. The ship has sailed. You'll pay either way for enjoying the fruits of cheap foreign labor in the past. It's either devaulation of your currency, or accepting that foreigners will get a piece of US land.
Interesting project, I've heard a lot of good things about GraphPipe for Model Serving with support for multiple languages (Go, Python, Java) https://github.com/oracle/graphpipe
I assume you're using cmake? For C/C++, cquery does completion (which I got working, but honestly didn't like and turned off. There are these two plugins for cmake:

https://github.com/ilyachur/cmake4vim

https://github.com/vhdirk/vim-cmake

It would be fairly quick to put something in your vimrc to pop open a small split on the side, run a build command, and show an output. You could also probably pop open a terminal (new vim has the :term command) and maybe script that? If not cmake, it shouldn't be too difficult to replace cmake with something else. I've always found I can get better results from vim that more exactly what I want, but I've got to kind of want it and be willing to write some script to do it. The results are better, but there's more up-front investment.
Well it also due to the fact that cardio exercise is one of the few ways to naturally improve one's reaction time.

It is crazy though to see how many e-sports players are actually insanely muscular. I think it is most obvious in csgo where you have so many guys who are actually on forms of steriods and could probably compete at a strongman or bodybuilding competition. It is also one of the esports that is most aim and reaction time intensive, so that may be a reason it is like that.
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze.

> Has this policy changed at some point?

It is more complicated than just "after 30 days" (and always has been). If your laptop is entirely offline (or you simply uninstall the client from your laptop), then the policy is ACTUALLY that we keep your backup for 6 months as long as you keep paying your bill. But to be honest, it's more like a year or two. The 6 month policy is we guarantee the backup will be preserved, not that we will immediately go out and delete it at exactly 6 months and 1 day.

This is a completely different situation than files you delete but the backup continues. For cost reasons, Backblaze purges the files that you deleted from your local drive after 30 days. HOWEVER, with this new 7.0 release you can pay a little more and increase that retention time to one year, or forever. This was a highly requested feature for the situation you ran into.

Or, if you have a hard drive that you disconnect and aren't willing to reconnect for more than 30 days. Since your backup is continuing, Backblaze assumes the drive will never come back, so the files are then deleted to save money in the datacenter. Of course, this changes with the 1 year retention policy, you can unplug the drive for up to 1 year and still dial back time and restore all your files.
macOS Catalina still allows purchase of unsupported 32-bit apps
You can check (opened) software in Activity Monitor under CPU, there's an optional column "Kind" to show if it is 64 bit or not.
I don't like these corporate press release titles either but the submitted title, "Twitter misused phone numbers and e-mail to target advertising", seems tendentious. What's an accurate, neutral title we can use above?
In my experience when the data is very small it is almost always also biased towards how easy it was to gather, which also makes it non representative. Think about it, if it were as easy to let n=5000 as it were to let n=25, you would always pick 5000. You only pick n=25 because of the low effort involved, which often means proximity.

A very common example is when some software feature is A/B tested only internally, or even only tested on the team that developed it. It introduces a lot of bias in users’ technical competence, willingness to understand/understanding of the new behavior, how the environment is set up, etc.
> your body closely regulates the level of glucose in your blood. Your brain would literally starve without it.

Is this actually true? Having done the ketogenic diet and bringing carbohydrates down to almost nothing, my brain definitely didn't starve. In fact, running on ketones was amazing.
A carnivorous diet (meat only, zero carbs) would accomplish the same without the pharmacological drawback. Been on the diet for over a year and have never felt better in my life.
To reach a ketogenic state, the term fast from a clinical sense required 24-36 hour period without any caloric intake; strictly water. I have done 3 day water fasts, the hunger waves need to be controlled the first 2 days, but the feeling is gone after that point.

There are many things to consider, including refeeding syndrome, it is highly advised to seek MD advice prior to undertaking such a diet.

Lastly, there is a ton of research highlighting fasting and its effects on stem cell regenerative properties.
To be fair, they're making a tidy profit so they can afford to do some remodeling. They just can't tear it down and make a huge new house, which would trigger a reassessment.
I think most people overlook/don't know that the needed sample size depends not just on the confidence you want, but also on how big the effect you want to measure is. E.g. if landing page A has a conversion rate of 50% and B has one of 55%, that's going to take a lot of sampling to prove. But if A has 40% and B has 80%, then that's going to show up in the samples very quickly. But exactly which question you ask affects the needed sample size greatly - e.g. showing that 'B performs better than A' will take fewer samples than 'B performs at least 20% better than A'. This makes it much harder to have a correct intuition about needed samples sizes.
Lock Jack Dorcey Up!! >:)
>but Trump's campaign reached really deep into quiet conservatives who wouldn't vote otherwise.

There's really not any evidence of this. In the rust belt states he won that turned the tide of the election, there was less turnout on both sides than previous elections. It's just that Democrat voting turnout was down even more than Republican voting turnout.
These two cancerous clickbait entities were basically 95% of the sole reason I started using adblockers to begin with many years ago. I can't stand seeing their crap on any webpage I visit. It is filth that ruins the Internet for majority of people who don't have a mental filter to not click on this stuff.

The other 5% reason is malicious ads/tracking. I'd actually be open to not running adblockers anymore if these two reasons were eliminated from the web. I'd be fine with small non tracking ads from non cringe worthy gigantic ad networks that invade basically every webpage I visit nowadays.

PS - Ublock Origin actually doesn't block these two networks (Taboola/Outbrain) by default - you have to enable Fanboys Annoyance list to do so.
Backblaze can back up arbitrarily large local drives, but does not allow you to set network drives as backup sources (for precisely this reason). It's fine with the local drive being shared - our desktop's big storage drive is exposed over the network - but it can detect and refuse mounts from other machines. I don't know what it does with an iSCSI drive, haven't tried.

I think it's harder to detect network mounts in a way that wouldn't have a bunch of false positives on Linux.
I don't think it's equivalent. In the physical world, it's easy to make a mistake that destroys the entire thing (e.g. causes a power plant to explode) but it's hard to make a mistake that causes the system to do something completely random and not designed. Like, you can't make a mistake with a weedwacker that turns it into an airplane.

However I have made mistakes like that programming all the time... for example, having massively more data written out to disk than I had intended. You are never going to make a mistake in a factory that increases its electricity consumption by 1,000,000x but I have made errors that caused a million times more data to be written out to disk than planned.
Keto diet is very similar.
True. It would also be better to be able to appreciate an entity that isn't so morally bankrupt and profit driven.
I agree that it'd be nice if devs couldn't see this data at all, but perhaps the backups are less restricted than the live DB or it's standard practice for folks to run BI/marketing queries against prod there?

Twitter probably has a serious BI department so I'd imagine they have ways of getting at various data vectors for analysis, and BI folks usually complain loudly when you block data that let's them "cohort" usage data to the point where it can be easier to just open the door for them on a read-only instance.
No. All the excess protein you likely consumed has actually increased your risk of cancer significantly.
Kind of - Japan ratified the TPP, and Obama just said he'd talk about it.

Regardless, you're still right. In lieu of the TPP falling apart, China created it's own version to control APAC trade and fill the power gap, called RCEP. The trade war and the "America First" attitude has only incentivized China to speed up the negotiations, which if successful, will control something like half the world's global GDP.

The next RCEP meeting is next month and it will be interesting to see what comes from it.
I don't know many really skillful, hard-working people who make squat. But, there are definitely other factors. Industry friends is a big one, people who can introduce you to opportunities. Good negotiation skills also matter. Being well-spoken helps a lot.

But the most important thing is impressing people once you get an opportunity. When you get on the stage, you gotta be able to sing. That opens doors more than any other one factor in my experience.
Twitter isn't alone in this sort of invasive activity.

I have family and friends that share photos on their private Instagram accounts and nowhere else. I didn't have an account, so I installed the app on my phone, signed up, verified email and mobile number, and followed the family accounts.

The next day I open the app only to be prompted to log in again, which it won't accept (password stored in a password manager). A few minutes later an email arrives from Instagram saying that my account has been locked due to suspicious activity and demanding that I provide a photo of myself holding government issued ID. Their helpdesk refuses to do anything until I do.

That's true and unfortunate. I wish that didn't happen. But you don't know the root cause: Westerner who are mostly activists with irrational feeling that they have better "value" and interpret the Chinese behaviour in their own cultish belief systme caused the reaction which is also irrational.

Good part is (ironically) China won't lost control because of its one party system. It's also powerful enougth that US and Western countries can not bomb it like they did in Middle East.
It's related insofar as no China US deal means China no longer gets special treatment and a free pass on bad behaviour.
Depending on what you mean by "a week or two ago", this was probably because of a botnet attack HN was under in mid-September, when we resorted to turning on recaptcha for logins for a while. We know why people hate this and want to avoid it in the future, but defending HN against attack took priority.
PG&E Plans Power Shutoff in Bay Area, Northern California
Similar to this scenario is Neal Stephenson's Seveneves. Without giving too much of the story away, it's a great sci-fi novel that covers some post-apocalyptic topics, one of which includes a huge regression in PC performance/transistor count due to the major disruption of this fragile supply chain.
Yes, ksplice plus free licenses in Oracle Cloud. Maybe plan to have heavy abstraction from the OS beforehand.
Mostly playing devil's advocate here:

When the Constitution was written, free speech meant literally that, your ability to go to a public space and physically talk. No third party was involved as it is with any telecommunication technology. So the resources consumed in that speech were totally your own.

The only way to strictly have that equivalent in the telecommunications realm is for me to own every communication circuit between me and those who I want to communicate with.

So lets say I have 10 wires coming from my house to other houses, and someone I know has 10 other wires connected to a different set of houses, that I'm not directly connected to.

I can rely on my own self and build new wires (expensive) or I can work with this person to forward my communication (probably cheaper but he/she can view/hear my communication).

If I want to communicate with someone else beyond my network, then a third party is carrying my speech, and we're really no longer in realm of free speech. This third party has rights and should be able to refuse to carry my speech for the same rights and reasons as me, unless entered into a contract beforehand.

I think your real question is should corporations be treated as legal persons to the extent that they have the Constitutional right of speech.
Keto/carnivore is incredibly dangerous to the human body in the long run (5+ years out).

Wrap it in propaganda like everything else. When you have already established a narrative framework under which China are the good guys, and whatever is happening in Hong Kong as bad or insidious, it's easy to simply wrap it up in that package and say it's the evil West trying to hurt China.
Most DIR-XXX routers are actually Realtek (Lexra), which developers of OpenWRT refuse to support due to the unweildy microarchitecture of the SoC.
PGP support in an email client is worse than nothing. https://latacora.micro.blog/2019/07/16/the-pgp-problem.html

> Email is insecure. Even with PGP, it’s default-plaintext, which means that even if you do everything right, some totally reasonable person you mail, doing totally reasonable things, will invariably CC the quoted plaintext of your encrypted message to someone else (we don’t know a PGP email user who hasn’t seen this happen). PGP email is forward-insecure. Email metadata, including the subject (which is literally message content), are always plaintext.

In 2020, someone should know better than to to add pretend encryption to email. The metadata leaks alone should lead you to conclude that this isn't worth doing.

Don't use email for secure communications, period. Use a secure messaging app like Signal, instead.

Somewhere along the way in American history, somebody decided to conflate Communism and Socialism for political purposes. Since then the very idea of Socialism is regarded with hands held high in horror, anathema to the US economic system of Capitalism.

In fact, there is no instance of any country with pure Capitalism, and no instance of a country with pure Socialism. (Or pure Communism, for that matter.)

All countries have mixed economies, with some Capitalism and some Socialism. Where they vary is in the actual blend.

Many Americans have tried to convince me that there is no Socialism in the US, blithely overlooking the income to the elderly and the out-of-work; the road and highway systems; the bailing-out of companies; medical care to those who can't afford it; etc, etc.

All of those items above are being paid for by the combined resources of the country's taxpayers, each of whom have no say in where their money is going - the same as in (say) Norway or (say) China.
I was hoping for a 3D component to the space the lines occupy underground. This seems to be 3D structure and trains laid onto a 2D map.

I’ve always felt like there is a missing element in trapping CO2 in biomass (kelp, trees, etc). Maybe someone can help me here. Doesn’t the dead tree or dead kelp eventually decompose and eventually though microbial action release a great deal is the absorbed CO2 back to the atmosphere?

Perhaps we can bury it and keep it out of the atmosphere indefinitely just as prehistoric forests pulled CO2 out of the prehistoric atmosphere that was eventually covered and turned into underground hydrocarbons.

Is there a practical way we can do that to lower CO2? I’m sure someone has looked at that.

Please note that this is not an official site of the state of Delaware, but is a private entity completely unaffiliated with the state of Delaware. I was burned as their customer once, and investigated how they're put together when something felt off.

It's a shell company of "Northwest Registered Agent", a shadowy company that has dozens of shell companies for each state and does SEO to get them to the top when you search how to register a company in these states. They're not reputable and you should absolutely stay away from them in the future. If you see onlineaccount.net in any of the source code for the page, or if it directs you there after login, it's the same shell company.

Assume your imagination is correct, can you argue with which part is false instead of who I am and what motive is?

The way you draw your conclusion reflects some interesting information.

[edit]: Thanks for the link. It seems China is building infrastructure for other countries. Of cause it's not free but it's better than bombing other countries in the name of promoting value of freedom. A lot of people from victim countries see the bombers as evil but I think they(bombers) are just cult believer consider themselves liberators.
Oh interesting, does literally everyone else also pay their investments a salary or hourly wage and benefits like health care? Do they manager the performance of their investments? Can their investments sue them for violating labor practices? Sounds different from what that person was talking about.
No, it wouldn't. Your brain needs glucose to survive and your body will manufacture it if it's not present. If you actually were able to accomplish what you're saying, you'd be braindead.

Supposedly it can, because your body when lacking nutrition for several days (I think like 5 at least) will break down weak/damaged cells for protein, which usually are the ones most likely to turn cancerous at some point.

This is what I've read on the topic and longetivity studies on people who go on long term fasts seem to support it.

That's what I've been told/read on the topic, but I'm not an expert by any means.
These are just describe exactly the same as every other weekly cattle mutilation meme across the world story.

Why news here?

It's just a local killer (Wolf,coyote,dog,dingo,bear,lion), followed by it/other animals eating the easy external bits and natural decomposition (bloat, fly's, blood settles).

You can re dig up weird explanations like a natural disease again, but that's not it. It's just a conspiracy theory.

And you can say it only happens near X again (Like a border or the mid west), but always it's just cattle country near where wild animals are.

Why does a simple blog post require JavaScript to render?

I only bothered trying to read this because I thought it was going to be actually about MDMA, but nope -- just using it as some kind of "gangster metaphor".

Here's the first paragraph of this rather rambling and low-information article for those in the no-JS camp:

>The unicorn barn is on fire. Ablaze. A feckless FTC and DOJ, no longer countervailing forces to private power but co-conspirators, have enabled invasive species (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google) to devastate the ecosystem. What to do? No worries, just double up on the MDMA of our economy — charismatic CEOs cut with cheap capital — and the illusion of prosperity party rocks on into the morning. Not that I’ve done a lot of drugs in my life, but they make for gangster metaphors, no?
Samsung drops security updates for some devices, demotes others to quarterly
Yes. Do a fast at the start of Spring & Fall.
