I don't think this works any more. My parents always did this when kids did prank calls. Kept the phone open for hours blocking their line. Did not work last time I tested. Uncertain how long you have to wait before next call though.
Great thanks. One other helpful thing would be to start a project full of pre-wrapped components for various frameworks.

It would be lovely to just yarn add something that would give me Material-UI components already set up. I'm sure others would love a Bootstrap version... etc. The more you can lower the barriers to entry, the better.
The Twitter thread points out that you need to call from a different phone, else the scammer could leave the line open (even after you hang up!).
People who have the means to own and care for a dog will probably have a better diet, less stress, more time to exercise and go to the doctor. I doubt dogs have a magical health aura.
Depends on the type of phone you have. For VoIP phones you may have more possibilities than on an analogue landline.
The Firefox DevTools (currently in Nightly, soon in stable) have started at least telling you why a certain selector does not apply, which sounds incredibly helpful: https://twitter.com/FirefoxDevTools/status/11747010367930327...
The point of "Hello world" is that it is the simplest possible real, working program. It can be compiled and executed and you could deploy it to users or to a production environment if you wanted.

"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked."

I understand that from a certain theoretical perspective it is just the same thing to echo a string literal in a REPL, but from a software development perspective it is completely different.

> The standalone program is easier to compose in your shell, which in some contexts matters a lot, but I don't see that it does here.

I kind of see where you are coming from. You are assuming the program is only ever used by yourself. I understand this is just a different culture and hadn't even thought about that perspective.
You dont ask users about their intent, you monitor how they behave. Thats how google makes their money.
That sounds like a great idea! Maybe I should set up some quick templates.
When a car driver speeds over the speed limit, rolls past a stop sign, makes an unsafe turn, doesn't use their signals, and so on, nobody really bats an eye.

Hi Roel, Twitter DMs are open.
Since SL I feel that Apple gets more and more control over Apps, rather then me over my own system.

Being for years able to advocate that apple approach, with all problems, was at least superior in user interface feel and experience. Now I have more and more trouble finding real arguments.

I can't stand popups, they appear in the middle of what you do. They interrupt your flow. If you ask me they should not exist in a good software.Certainly I was not missing a lot of dialogs for security.
I need one list in one place with permissions/apps where I can tune what is allowed and what is not for each app, including(!) Apple Apps and where they connect.

It's getting worse and worse in many aspects. I feel less and less in control about what system does.

I can't track what connects, where, why and which information is sent, for instance by Calendar, when I turned off all related to iCloud, I do not expect it to connect anywhere, yet it does.

Also some "geod" deamon connects every time I go online even though I disabled everything possible through GUI related to iCloud and even time sync ...
So why it connects I have no idea, but if I forbid it in a router, then guess what?
Internet doesn't work completely. Safari won't load anything.

We talk about privacy and security? How about fixing those behaviours and giving me control back? How is catalina with that? So we have many dialogs, distracting us from what are real privacy concerns?
My experience is that SIM card providers (at airports) will take a scan of your passport before giving you a SIM card, so they are probably already in compliance.
>that's bound to a smartphone as a signature.

Big yikes, that's a no for me.
In my experience, this could be said for virtually every security feature, particularly when new to users. But I still find it worthwhile to fully/correctly implement security features even if they might not be correctly used. Many correct security features have gradually become commonly understood in most communities to everyone's benefit, while most short cuts have eventually caused major problems that are made doubly bad by reputable firms having invested in training users to accept a solution that could only be implemented in snake oil.
By the way I did have a folder of examples as well. Quite lot of them: https://github.com/react-hook-form/react-hook-form/tree/mast... with codesandbox link too
A Forty Year Career
On a multi-artifacts maven JavaEE project (not submodules, just a lot of independent modules), it has serious difficulties. Support for Java12+ is far better than Eclipse, but working on IntelliJ and using auto-formatting tools (Checkstyle and Save-Actions) makes it suffer enormously. I've never had those problems on Eclipse.

I don't want to debate facts either. It seems silly.

The thing is that we've let the climate deniers speak. But science isn't something you get to have an opinion on. Particularly not if it's been proven that you have a financial interest in muddying the waters.

Don't you think it's strange that the only people who are interested in prolonging the "gee, is it actually happening?" speculation are the same people who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo?

They are useful for the same kind of accidents that happen to motrocyclists: being hit by something or hitting something.
Yes googling the names provide the info, my point was more on the website. Saying just "Singapore University" could imply more prestigious university like National University of Singapore, which is not the case here.
The EU has made 2FA mandatory for online banking as of September.
This is the same system I'm talking about.

Can't wait to use it on a real project soon. In fact, i might start converting some older things to it in spare time.

Why do you always rebase? Is your master essentially the stable branch of the program you are collaborating on?
I had one of those from a major UK bank nearly 15 years ago.
Taking a stance on a governing bodies actions is clearly politics. In what way could it possibly not?
I think it's possible, just hypocritical and ultimately self defeating. This is an example of how it's self defeating.

For the last decade the left could have been focusing on extending worker protections and putting some hard lines on their personal opinions and what the can be punished for at work. Instead they've made corporations the morality police, and ultimately they only listen to money.
Generally with digital phone lines (almost every line out there) this does not work, and teardown on your side is at most few seconds.

This is also impossible to pull off on cellphone lines. (There are other attacks but these require access to your BTS.)
Dogs require frequent walks if you don't plan on cleaning your floors/carpets daily.

Could it just not be that people who own and _care_ for a dog get exercise daily, as opposed to just sitting in a couch binging netflix all day ?

Recent studies have proved that walking is a great source of exercise, and depending on dog size you get 2-10km walks per day (1-6 freedom units)
I don't think having 2FA in phone app is pointless. It's still second factor, if someone got to your bank account. They need to get access to that 2FA app as well. And of course you protect that app with password/ping. Do you know of cases when 2FA app was defeated when someone stole money from bank account?
This sounds like a business opportunity for somebody, I guess there reason nobody is doing this is because there's probably a lot more money to be made from spying on users and gathering data on them. It's a pity because it ruins the experience for all concerned. The sooner people become more privacy aware and legislation like GDPR sees wider uptake, the better for internet commerce.

The typical desktop for most user is a dumping ground for whatever it is they are currently working on. Or in some cases more or less anything they've been working on for the past years. A dumping ground full of potentially sensitive documents, work-in-progress files that are not supposed to leak beyond the computer, etc.

Do you really think any application on your computer should be allowed to read and write them because "that's what applications do"? 90% of the 'applications' on my computer I didn't even install myself, like uninstallers, updaters, helper applications, background services, whatever. These have no business looking at files in my Desktop folder. And particularly not if its on iCloud and shared with other devices like my phone.
It seems plausible that Hong Kong is actually a substantial third-rail issue for the mainland population. And that it doesn't just reflect Chinese government propaganda. If that's the case, profit-driven pandering to their feelings is arguably no different than profit-driven pandering to the feelings of other audiences.

I mean, after all, Hong Kong was occupied by the British for over 100 years. And it played a huge role in the opium trade. So I can imagine how it could be a substantial third-rail issue.
If you want to present yourself as an alternative for FB's libra, this is way too cheap. Even the worst alt coins have a better website and more info.

> Our core team and community

I mean, how can anyone take this serious? The core team could easily be just 1 person in the list. And the 'community', are that some far relatives who said "yeah good idea!"?

The website is made within an hour or so, writing the text has taken longer for sure. This is a scam. Just some smart guys trying to launch and cash in on an alt coin that is a made up solution for FB's libra coin.
This is complicated by the fact that many different languages are spoken in both mainland China and Taiwan. So you get an article in Hokkien that prominently displays the flag of the Republic of China [1] and another in Southern Min that looks very different [2].

Also, three different articles on "Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China" [3], "Taiwan Province" (in the Republic of China) [4] and "Taiwan" (common name of the Republic of China) [5].

According to what I remember, Thiel already had an axe to grind with gawker. Hogan's case simply presented the perfect opportunity to exact his revenge.
Under the new EU rules 2FA over SMS is not allowed because it is possible to transfer phone numbers to other devices (through social engineering or simply because providers reuse old numbers) and thereby intercept the code. Instead most banks use an authentication app so that 2FA is bound to a single device.
This is ridiculous. So government ID required to delete your account, but if you start spamming offensive messages in the chat, you'll likely get it banned very quickly.

I wonder what they'd do if you sent them a clearly fake image of a passport or a driving license, with some swear words in name fields. I wouldn't be surprised if they banned the account. Or what if you put "Sir General Data Protection-Regulation" as your name?
Thank you so much for those kind words. This means so much to me seriously. I love making things and especially when others are enjoy to use. I will keep improving the site and package. Feel free to ask questions in github :) again thank you <3
> My simple policy is I never give out any information if I'm cold-called.

That's what I do. When someone calls me and then proceeds to ask me security question to allegedly assert my identity I reply "well, you called me so how do you prove to me who you are first?"

I usually get a "err..." but on one occasion the guy was rather rude and hanged up.

The worst thing is that most of the time these calls are genuine. This means that my bank does think it's fine to do that.
I read about a landline attack that would keep the line open when you put the receiver down, play a dial tone, and then wait until you’d entered a number before putting you back on with the scammer
> I'm highly skeptical of the claim that any such diet can ever be healthy in the medium to long term. I fail to see how malnourishment isn't a certainty under such circumstances.

No malnourishment in the linked study or in Inuit populations.

> Inuit populations suffering lower incidence of heart disease is a myth.

I never claimed they did. I was responding to your claim that you don’t see how a long term all meat diet can be healthy and that malnourishment is certain with an all meat diet. If the Inuit incidence of cardiovascular disease is not lower I presume it’s also not higher or it’d have been mentioned.

The claim was not that an all meat diet was healthier, but that it was roughly as healthy. If their incidence ischemic heart disease and atherosclerosis is no lower than white westerners but they don’t get diabetes because they don’t eat carbs that’s (incredibly weak) evidence of health benefits.

Again, I’m not saying the diet is healthier, I’m showing evidence that it is healthy in the long run and that malnourishment is not a certainty.
I find this whole idol culture extremely odd.

Interestingly enough it seems like a lot of people never actually have sex (granted the following article is about japan, but they're not that different). So it almost seems like these extreme stalkers wouldn't actually become physically active, although that doesn't really make it any better.

I think Reason 2 really hits the nail on the head. Very few multiplayer get away with properly rewarding player skill. The new Quake seems to have the same problem. Most of the population consists of veterans, which makes it so that new players have a hard time getting opponents at their level, thus creating a nasty feedback loop. Getting into Artifact today would probably be a similar experience. I think it is a peculiar trend, as single player games seems to be going in the opposite direction with titles like Dark Souls, the plethoras of insanely difficult indie titles and speedrunning like practices growing more popular by the day.

The most efficient way to adress this "problem", while still keeping the qualities of a high skill ceiling, seems to be scale and strict matchmaking. With that in mind, it is sad that Artifact never got off. The evenly matched games that I had during the first week of release where some of the most exciting experiences I have had.

I have 100% zero maintenance software running on customer's site.

It is a Debian-powered machine, not connected to internet, which is performing various tasks and controlling some hardware. The software running on it was built 6 years ago in C++ and using OpenCV and CUDA.
The machine powers on and off itself on a specific routine due to on-site checks.

It clears old logs automatically if older than X days or bigger than Y MBytes.

Until today, no software or hardware failure occurred. The whole disk is snapshotted with dd command. If hard drive failures occur, it's easy to swap it and start again.
Back then it was new and potentially dangerous, so they wanted to protect you as a kid. Today, it's just convenient, so why can't you just upload photos of all your kids to Google and share the album with them?

I.e. their position back then was as ungrounded as their current position is.
Never heard of the systems with this flaw. It was always "if you hang up then it's completely cut".

The Razakars were armed and highly organised muslim milita supporting the nizam in Hyderabad. They went on a killing spree against the natives who though in numerical majority were unorganized villages. The report even if it is true and is not politically motivated still pales in comparison to the systemic and continues cleansing of 10s of millions that continue to this day in Pakistan.

As for the European generosity they take a tiny fraction compared to India. They insist on integration, which would be politically incorrect in India. Some countries like France and Denmark have already banned the hijab.

Religion is a tiny fraction of a person's identity, but if it comes to eclipse everything then your loyalty to your society that is pluralistic is suspect.

They knew all along that they were illegal migrants. Considering that some of them have only been forced into islam in not more than three generations ago, it is possible that they might convert back to their native roots and claim asylum.
In my periods of sadness I wouldn't have left the house if it weren't for my dog. And in all other times she's the reason I take the bicycle to the beach or the woods. Even after 2 years I still melt seeing her joy when running around free in a good environment. Living in a city means I must move to get to that environment.
Now let's put a person talking on the phone and texting at the same time and have that person do the same exercise that AAA conducted..
I can understand how people would fall for this one. With 20/20 hindsight, asking for the member number is fishy - it doesn't actually verify anything. And when my bank calls me, it is always automated - I only get a person talking to me if I ask for it through the automated systems. So in a way, any actual person calling would be a red flag. But in the moment, I can see why it sounded legit.

My parents have taken their precautions against phishing to extreme levels. They don't speak into the phone when unknown numbers call. At all. If they choose to answer, they wait for someone on the other end to talk and then decide whether to speak or hang up. They have heard horror stories of people getting their voices recorded and replayed into automated systems, so if someone calls and asks, "Hi, Is this <name>?", they avoid even saying "Yes", and instead ask who is calling. It may be paranoia, but as the saying goes... just because you are paranoid doesn't mean that they are not out to get you.
Thank you so much. This comment is golden. I’ve been pushing similar thoughts for years. Also, we should take into consideration the power of our communication structure which has evolved over hundreds of generations.

Even if there would be true generalized Artificial intelligence, it is not unreasonable to think that the formation of the right thought framework for those systems to function effectively will require a substantial amount of time. It is also reasonable to think that such change would probably be in symbiosis with human intelligence. This change would not be sudden, but happen over many generations. It is my opinion that this change has already started at least a generation ago.
We don't have time to wait for the worst offenders to change their ways before improving our own carbon footprint. Per capita Australia is pretty bad.

Australia could be carbon neutral in a few years if it wanted to. They have immense potential for renewable energy.
I am also confident that the Chinese aren't robots. Sadly I have no evidence directly from mainland China, you could say it's simply speculation.
They have. Having to walk them turns every couch potato into someone who is spending, depending on size & agility of the dog, 30min to 2h outdoors , walking. Every single day.

They also tend to pester you for food or walks roughly at the same times every day, so, no matter how irregular your lifestyle was, there suddenly is a wireless alarm clock all day. Every single day. (Kids are much better at this, though).

In the EU and US at least, you can get this all for free: Sign up as a volunteer at the next animal shelter, commit to walking one of their dogs twice a day, 7 days a week :)
Also, when you're wiring money to someone, my bank is now requesting to input certain digits of the amount and destination account into the app. Those digits are then factored into the 2FA algorithm. I am not sure if this adds substantially to the security though.
> If the computer you are backing up isn't online for 6 months, it clearly isn't that important.

Internet connectivity in some parts is particularly terrible.

My grandmother's ADSL 12/1Mbit connection was never particularly reliable and would go down any time it rained for days at a time. Every 6-12 months it would go down hard and not come back requiring a visit - the techs would fiddle around, find a different working copper pair and get it going again.

Finally, about two years ago it died completely, and the Telco threw up their hands and said they couldn't fix it, there just wern't any working pairs. There will be, at some point, a FTTC rollout, but in the mean time we're getting her limping along with an overly expensive and even less reliable 4G connection. The data limits are absurdly low, so I can't afford to let Backblaze actually run backups.

But the data that was backed up prior to the DSL outage we want to keep - I'm paying the license for it, they should keep it.
Forecasting in 2019 is still using techniques from 1950. You can call that "machine learning", but only if you really want to make people confused by marketing speak.
Someone actually built the "Enhance" process used by TV police forensics?
Analogue telephones are creating (or at least in modern times simulating) a circuit, which doesn't close until the caller hangs up.

But almost everybody today has a digital phone, any kind of mobile telephone or desk VoIP phone is digital, "hanging up" ends the call because the telephone itself decided to do that, everything is just packets. So this trick won't be effective against most people today.

Likewise "dialling" today is an out-of-band digital step rather than a bunch of pulses or tones sent in-band that an attacker can just ignore.
