They didn't even give her the flip phone, she bought that herself.

That being said I think you should reframe your thinking on this- they got over 100,000 applicants and a ton of press. My guess is they were always planning on paying out the $100,000 and the polygraph test is just another way they can throw some marketing around. The Vitaminwater brand has over a billion dollars in revenue for CocaCola each year- rising up from $350 million a year before coke's marketing team got ahold of them. Their marketing department knows what they're doing, and this $100k is a drop in the bucket for the press it's gotten.
Ask HN: How to stop Google from blocking my attempts to login to my own account?
I'm attempting to login to an old account (non-gmail address; I own the domain) that I setup on Google years ago. I still have the password as that is saved in my password manager. However, Google is blocking my attempts to login as they don't recognize the device/IP address. Understandable since I last logged in while I was living in a different country.

I've gone through their recovery process and can answer everything except the phone code as I no longer have that phone number. I can even confirm the email code that they send as my email is hosted elsewhere. However, Google still says that they cannot confirm that I own my account. I even get emails from Google warning me:

> Someone just used your password to try to sign in to your account. Google blocked them, but you should check what happened.

Of course, I cannot check if I cannot login.

I know a lot of people run into this same problem with no resolution unless someone inside Google helps. So I'm asking here. Does anyone know how I can recover access?
Yes, but the kinds of bad choices you get using different decision processes will be different. WeWork is a very capitalist boondoggle. It's not the kind of failure you'd see even in Mittelstand capitalism. Let alone Mondragon-style cooperatives, which could reasonably be called capitalist. And it's definitely not what you'd see in an ejido or a European-style commons.

American-style venture capitalism is almost unique in terms of the amount of resources a single person can allocate. I think only authoritarian regimes come close to letting one person decide to bet $12 billion on a poorly-considered vision.
This sounds like one of those "you could live in this mansion free forever, but you can't ever listen to Beyonce again. Wyd?" Instagram posts.

The answer is always yes, sign me up.
How does one get to the Q&A on GitHub? When I Google a question, an SE link is still the most common thing I'll get (especially for error codes).
> The sensor wasn't very good, either. There was a razor thin margin where you'd get reasonable toast, and it was almost all the way to the "light" end. At even 25% to "dark", you'd get a block of charcoal. I'd set it all the way at "light", and toast my bread twice, if needed, because that was safest.

In the video, the first toast that comes out of the 'old school' toaster looks pretty dark:

I wouldn't categorize this as being too similar to bigfoot and UFOs. There is a lot of strange things the government and society does at large that is similarly substantiated,but still ignored by society at large though (the human-cow embryo experiments performed in the UK come to mind when thinking about oddities in the world)
If this is going to be your theory, mind explaining how this works?

My understanding was that the flu vaccines use inactive bits of the flu viruses selected for the vaccines.

I don’t understand how inactive bits of a virus can cause infection?
Would you risk $100k to touch a smartphone at any point during a year?
As I was reading the first 2 paragraphs I already predicted the last line. That's your answer right there.
I truly think it does. You will usually raise your salary most by changing jobs anyway and when you start out you most likely don't have that much need of a high salary.

A start up might absolutely not be the right way to learn though. Joining a mature and disciplined engineering organization might instead be a much better choice for learning.
Last time I was in Paris, we ate fairly cheaply at the local kebab places that would have easily been twice as expensive in the states. Heck, they are cheaper than the states even in Lausanne.

Ya, portions are a bit different, but meal prices still come under on average.
You may have been making an interesting point, but the "preferred pronoun of the week" bit at the end kind of kills it.

Have you ever met someone who changes their gender identity weekly, or asks people to use a derivation-free nonsense word to refer to them?

Yep, and they're sorry for the uneasiness and confusion. I'm saying they aren't going to apologise for the sacking itself, because they stand by it.
There is no pointing in suing someone for hundreds of millions of dollars unless they have some chance of actually paying that much.
> I'd take that $100k and use it to spread awareness about social media and its health effects.

I would bet $100,000 that you would spend $0K of the $100K to spread awareness about social media and its health effects.
i think this approach might work well to replace milk, juices, pulps, and possibly some ground/processed meats etc.

It will take much much longer to replace a good steak, ribs, a crisp apple, etc
Much of modern life has been altered by and adapted to the expectation that the average person carries in their pocket a relatively powerful computer and camera. For someone who has grown up and adapted to that world, giving up the smartphone will be a lot harder than for someone who hasn’t relied on one yet.
I do not. However I’ve spoken to a franchise owner after visiting 7 countries where they accepted USD who explained why. Don’t take it as gospel, but try it yourself next time you travel and see what happens.
Is your last paragraph referring to defaulting to gender-neutral after having been made aware/requested by someone, or that gendered langauge be eradicated from the English language?
> No it's about money and who gets it.

> Owners are pushing for the first, labor wants anything except the first.

There are two important actors left out of this analysis: consumers and parts suppliers.

It doesn't fit the evil owner narrative, but often these efficiency gains translate largely to reduced prices for consumers. Consumers vote with their wallets, so it is often the case that unless the evil owners conspire against consumers by fixing prices, businesses are often forced to pass on efficiency gains as cheaper prices.

As for suppliers, a very large portion of an electric car price is in the battery. If the size of the pie is remaining the same, then this new player is taking a lot $$ off the table, offsetting efficiency gains.
I would like to add that I found https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5765/moderato... a very comprehensive and faceted summary.
Your understanding is based on lies they tell you. Also you put the community around you on danger due to vaccine shedding. The info is out there, just open your mind and start looking.
This report has a absolutely nothing to do with Beyond Meat or Beyond Meat's technology, but this irrelevant rehash still manages to rank on HN.

Even, even if it was the same technology, which it isn't if you bother to read the article and report, it's still irrelevant since the report is about the impact of the technology to industry not about health.

Yes, this is important. Expect to see benefit reductions result in more strikes.
The Rethink We Need to Avoid America's Collapse
It’s a great story but it’s almost certainly too good to be true. There were a whole lot of things along this vein showing how good people can be manipulated to put innocent people into gas chambers as part of the restoration of Germany as part of the ‘free world’

The truth is that people aren’t good, and a lot of them would love to put people in gas chambers and all it takes is the people in power allowing them to do it. No manipulation required. The Nazis were not evil geniuses that figured out how to twist the good intentions of people into evil ends. They were brutal, moronic sociopaths that allowed the natural hateful tendencies of people to flourish.

It’s a dangerous myth to believe that democracy and freedom is the natural state of man and that chaos and destruction is the aberration. It’s precisely the opposite.

Democracy and peace and freedom are states that one has to continuously work for and make sacrifices to sustain. The us is learning that the hard way right now.

It doesn’t take a genius to destroy democracy. It just takes one hateful idiot in charge who allows and encourages hate and violence to flourish.
Given that, would you trust the engineers from DO to work on your systems?
It's an interesting idea. Assuming it's feasible, I wonder whether people would actually want to use a messaging service that's private, except where it thinks it detects illegal activity, in which case messages are copied to the police (and end-to-end encrypted on the way there, of course). That seems practically and logically equivalent to a messaging service which is not end-to-end encrypted but run by a trusted operator.
Tried 'em both, IIRC Yalp didn't work, Aurora seemed fine.

Since it was a banking app, I got the APK of many different sites/programs and compared the hashes, and one of the programs had definitely tampered with the APK, but I can't remember which.

Since I left Aurora on my phone, they seemed to have passed on untouched APKs, but don't take my word for it.

EDIT: Also, this voids me of any "warranties" my bank would offer me, so I'm really not going down that path. Really, the only correct thing would be for the bank to offer the APK on their site, but I'd probably have to wait until the government forces this to happen (if ever).
You say that maintenance is a large part of the pie that will be lost to electric.

Here's an unfounded but different perspective: Electric's reliability and return on investment will only make the transportation industry that much more profitable, and the amount of transportation will only increase as time goes on. The total size of the pie will increase.

Maintenance will still be needed, especially on many generations of electric transport not limited to cars or trucks.
As the info of any issue of the car could be known does it help to evaluate the car value?
Scott Aaronson's description of the result made it out to be more subtle. If I understood it properly, it might be more like the kid shooting 20 arrows, which all form a particular pattern around a point that the kid can't choose or control at all. Now a regular archer can readily choose a particular point, in a way that the kid can't, but can't produce the sort of pattern that the kid does with nearly as much accuracy and nearly as little effort.

Or to make a less specific analogy, there is something about the kid's archery that regular archers can't replicate with their archery skills, but it's not really something that anyone would traditionally have described as "skilled archery". Then Aaronson and Kalai disagree about whether or not this unusual feat that's not very easy to relate conceptually to the ability to hit targets is a sign that the kid is plausibly going to be able to achieve traditional archery skill in the future.

Is that fair?
I find opinions like these to be somewhat disconcerting. I don't know terribly much about demographics, but people who study demographics and economic development seem to fairly consistently agree that global population /will/ level off. At the core, the reasoning is simple -- as women become better educated and countries develop economically, birth rates drop, with no exceptions that I am aware of. The United Nations projects that the global population will level off at 12 billion around 2100.
It's ironic that a mainstream brand which presumably advertises a lot is sponsoring this challenge considering that smartphone addiction is caused by advertising (as it incentivises the social platforms to maximise engagement so they see more ads thus make them money).
I can relate to this so much, it almost hurts.

In a macabre twist, the perfectionism is still alive in the work of doing nothing, such as in the way people make meticulously outlined Powerpoints for inconsequential meetings.

> How about their excellence at using English, by the way?

English is probably not considered Japanese, so it doesn't matter too much in the ethos of Japanese perfectionism. Still, non-native speakers in Japan are reluctant from using English as it makes they can not speak perfectly.

I'm sorry if I sound too sarcastic for HN commenting standards.
>Social welfare work is about the only job left for the masses once automation is doing enough.

I was thinking residential-scale agriculture but for the most part I agree with your conclusions. This doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. If all that's left to do is pick our own veggies from the fields, then we've won the game. Probably we can offset the use of environmentally toxic substances with all the extra labor we'll have.

End stage capitalism may start to look a lot like communism in certain aspects.
Very good idea :D

Comment, it gives you a score but it doesn’t give you any context for that score. Is the goal evaluation or self-improvement?

> I do 0 algebra or geometry. I call APIs, I put stuff in databases. I store state.

That's not something to be happy about, that's something to be terrified of. If nothing the average coder does requires any particular specialized skills beyond gluing together libraries built by experts, what do you think will happen when, like the coal miners, some technological or societal change comes along that reduces the need for average coders?

Demand for coders isn't infinite.
They'd "(re-)sign" their profiles with "preferred pronoun" designations, eg "he/his" or "she/her". A visible (but less extreme) show of support, vs quitting -- which for moderators who aren't even employees of SE per se, isn't even really an applicable concept.

All of which underscores the point of my original (and annoyingly if predictably downvoted) comment about there being ambiguous -- hence ironic -- use of a particular homograph.
I have an off-topic rant: I know it's "RISC FIVE" and not "RISC VEE" but as long as companies use letters to represent numbers it's my opinion they forfeit the right to complain that people aren't saying it right. Apple finally gave up and changed Mac OS "ex" to macOS; everyone else should follow suit.
Self driving is big. Like digital photography replacing film, once people see the value they'll switch to it seemingly overnight instead of decades. (Long drives go from painful to trivial.)

Rental is overrated. When I need to drive, there better be a car in my driveway with my gear in it already. Rental may work for urban, but not suburban/rural.
> a Kyocera flip phone that she can only use to call and text

She should get a Twilio account. ;-)

I say this half seriously, because I know it may not be in the spirit of the challenge, but it would be enriching to cobble together some simple scripts to receive an SMS and proxy things like Google queries, maybe maps directions, Calendar lookups, maybe a Tweet-sender, HN headline fetcher, etc. It would be constrained but educational and fun. (I say "fun" because HN.) Bonus marks: IVR and/or voice rec version.
I’ve always wondered why pro esports players tend to be more athletic looking than the stereotypical couch potato gamer.
> I think it should be much more heavily encouraged to let us develop deeper thinkers, artists, and others.

Totally agree. I think the combination of emphasizing on STEM for all, along with smaller colleges facing shrinking enrollments, will result in losses to society that won't be obvious/measurable.

Look at the list of notable Hampshire College alumni: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampshire_College

They range from Ken Burns, to one of the founders of Stonyfield Yogurt, to a Debian contributor, along with many other musicians and other creators.

We need to keep this kind of educational freedom alive.
The most caricatural example was Heisenberg, who was working on the German nuclear program, made a lot of experimental mistakes (he was a very good theorist, an average experimenter) and it turns out that his assistant, who had been designing a lot of experiments, was Jewish and had fled a few years before.

He made a crucial mistake in an experiment that was supposed to gauge the amount of uranium necessary to make a bomb. He failed to take into account impurities in a material. It made him assume the crucial mass necessary was 10x what it is.

Ultimately nazi Germany, after several drawbacks, decided an atom bomb was too far away to pursue.

"Project MKUltra was first brought to public attention in 1975" - the OP. A NYTimes article from 1977[0] talks about mind control, LSD experiments, covert partnerships with doctors, secret funding, etc. A contemporary source from Wikipedia uses the name MKUltra. What information emerged since 1977?

Are you just saying many more people know about it now, even though it's been public for decades? (Maybe this is because of X-Files etc.) Were you around in the 60's when perhaps there were rumors but no public confirmation?

When a VTOL vehicle switches directions of the blades in the air, is there any sort of drop in altitude as it moves into the forward direction? Or is it a gradual type of thing as it starts angling forward?

I could see any drop before it kicks in being startling for customers, especially if the motors are less powerful than a helicopter or jet.

I noticed the video makes a cut from flying to the landing part, without showing the transition of the blades downwards from forward flight. I'd imagine this also takes some careful timing to line up properly with the ground target.
Healthcare is so stupidly broken in the U.S.

When will companies start to lobby for single payer in the face of predatory industries cutting into their compensation packages?
When they led with “100x quieter than a helicopter,” my first reaction was a skeptical “well sure, decibels are logarithmic!” But 40dB from 600ft away is impressive, and within the range of what I would consider acceptable for residential flyover (though not takeoff and landing) in a medium-density area.
The Linux kernel is a glaring example software malfunction due to its combination of moderate defect density and incredible extent, along with a culture intolerant of competence. People who became subsystem maintainers because they happened to be hanging around a mailing list in the 90s are still gatekeepers of important subsystems despite their now-decades-long records of continuous malfeasance. Patches that demonstrably improve the health of the project are rejected if they would reduce the powers of these gatekeepers. We should look at the whole project as a cautionary tale of the kind of leveraged destruction that some programmers of modest ability but extreme confidence can wreak on our industry.

It's bad enough that syzbot finds fifty serious bugs per hour, but I'll relay a personal anecdote. Earlier this year I wagered a colleague that I could open up the source of the 4.10 kernel (the one that was once current in Ubuntu 16) and find an obvious defect in less than an hour. It actually only took me about 15 minutes, to find a deadlock in the squashfs that was triggered by kmalloc failure and an error path via goto, which of course nobody should ever use. And while I'm reading it I'm just thinking to myself that this is the worst program I've ever seen and it would never pass a code review at my workplace, but it's out there right now running on billions of computers.
Not necessarily. I believe it's the case that for every quantum algorithm that is exponentially better than the best known classical algorithm for solving the same problem, it is not proven that an equally good (up to polynomial overhead) classical algorithm does not exist.

Therefore, one way quantum computers could fail to be exponentially better than classical ones, without us having to revise physics, is that there are as of yet unknown classical algorithms that would erase the apparent difference between the two classes. You would have quantum computers, but not quantum supremacy.

I believe that there are quantum algorithms that are provably better than any classical one, known or unknown, but I think these only provide at most polynomial speedup, not exponential. So you might still call it quantum supremacy to have algorithms that are merely polynomially better.

I've heard it called "Aaronson's trilemma", the fact that at least one of these three things must be true:

* Quantum computers are not possible even in principle (new physics required, since current physics says they are), or

* The extended Chuch-Turing thesis is incorrect (because quantum supremacy implies not all computers are within polynomial overhead of each other), or

* There exist polynomial time classical algorithms for factoring and discrete logarithms.
I just always did homework in class. More productive than zoning out.

Though in meetings I always pay attention, this may sound weird, but I like the social aspect of meetings.
I'm not trying to imply that it's likely to occur, just that when talking on the scale of millions of homes with toasters in them, some of those convenient and ingenious design features would probably burn down many houses that a more modern design wouldn't have. Tons of people leave toasters plugged in all the time but you're not going to ever accidentally turn on a modern version where you have to push down a spring loaded plunger to switch it on.

I don't think so. None of these brokers would have gone down this path without the pressure that zero fee brokers have been bringing. It was easy to call that ETrade was cornered to follow after Schwab announced last week [0]. And like I mentioned in another comment: just because Schwab and ETrade have better tooling and many more features that doesn't always matter for some. I still use tools outside of ETrade and for certain trades will continue to run them through Robinhood. Now there's less incentive though, which is great for me as the consumer.
