That's why I never upgrade a system. I'm always reinstalling it from scratch. First: I'm going happy path and not encountering any migration issues, which might be buried deep below. Second: I'm getting rid of unused apps and files. Third: I'm testing my backups and ensuring that things are good. Fourth: I just love to see pristine clean system.

> It revealed — to no one’s surprise — that its staff was largely white or Asian and decidedly male.

The US is 61% non-Hispanic white [1], while Google is 54% [2]. One can always rely on the Times to present under-representation as over-representation when it comes to whites.

Another example: "Though Apple’s overall work force teeters heavily toward white men" [3], when two paragraphs before, they report Apple as 55% white - again under-represented. Fortunately they don't include US demographics in the article, hoping readers are ignorant. But when whites are over-represented, suddenly they're able to report honestly [4], instead of hiding behind misleading, ambiguous language like "largely", or presenting only half of the relevant statistics.

Given their error is only ever in one direction, I'm forced to conclude the deception is deliberate.

Sure, I've seen examples, but that is different than what I'm talking about. I want components. =) For example, with react-final-form, I wrote a thin wrapper for Material-UI component (example [1]).

While it didn't take me that long to do, it does have some weird edge cases that I had to google around for. It would be nice to not have to figure this stuff out with your framework too and would encourage me to try it out more quickly.

I know that formik and redux-forms are popular, but react-final-form and your framework seem to have a lot of overlap. Both seem to be pretty well done.

> And the rest of the article is about a test with crash dummies. Why would the author talk about "people" when the tests were performed with dummies?

Because the upshot of the tests is that if your car is equipped with ACAS that "detects pedestrians," then it may lull you into a false sense that your car will avoid running people over and killing them even if you stop paying attention. The reality is that the ACAS is not foolproof and you shouldn't rely on it. But these systems are likely to create a Volvo Effect, where the people who have them drive much more recklessly than people without them.
That's not how it works with digital lines. Disconnect on any side breaks the whole circuit presuming they conform to even ancient PDH, much less SONET or SDH. Oh and this includes even more ancient ISDN. The trunk will immediately tear down the DS0 slot and circuit.

GSM and VoIP also do not allow this behavior without engaging call waiting on subscriber side.

This only happens with old fully analog connections. Not sure which country or public operator still has this kind of PSTN.

For the difference, peruse ITU-T G.175 and Q.522 standards. SE (switching element) will disconnect the routing on your side.
It took me a while to find the actual standard number.
My bank did this once - called me out of the blue and started asking for answers to security questions. I asked them how I could be sure it was definitely them and they said to call the number on my card and ask for a particular department, which I did, and it turned out it was indeed genuine.

The fact that they had an immediate answer to the question obviously means that they were asked this question all the time. I wonder how many people happily handed over the info?

It seems that they now just play a recorded message asking to call, and then automatically hang up.

Have you ever changed the way you behave with money in order to affect your credit score? Then you already know what it's like to alter your behavior to appease an algorithm.

Imagine if you had an employment score. A payscale score. A threat-to-society score. Imagine if the systems that generate these scores are all connected together and can share information with each other. Imagine that these systems are fed information by a growing network of sensors - facial recognition, voice recognition, location tracking. Imagine all the ways that it could affect the way you behave and how such a system would try to optimise away dissidents by denying them services. This is one way that we can go from multiplication to becoming enslaved (or as good as killed) by algorithms. I'm sure there are other plausible paths.
It should be noted that Caller ID spoofing is possible with pretty basic equipment. It's illegal in most countries but there's nothing technically preventing you from doing it. Which is crazy IMO.

I suppose the question is "which tax payer?" Which is unclear because really it's the "employee" (in the sense that an organisation could be considered an employee at any rate) of a democratically elected government which in principle predominantly represents people who pay tax in general but also some who can't or don't.

And one of their roles is in ensuring the interests of those lower down the income scale (which in this case even includes senior salaried professionals and only moderately successful business owners) such that they do not have an undue burden simply because somebody with far, far greater means has decided to arrange themselves some kind of labyrinthe with the express purpose of ensuring they outwit the rest of society. In this case it of course makes sense to make them feel the burden of their own creation rather than burdening the rest of society with it.
Japan is a dysfunctional society where you can buy used underwear in vendor machines and they have a whole graphic subset for toddler sex (loli). And yet they fail to have real human interactions with the opposite sex.
I've even had a bank rep get angry at me for refusing to answer their questions on the cold call. I presume it wasn't phishing because when I called back on the legit number they did want to talk to me. It was a long time ago so I forget but I think they were trying to upsell me so maybe thats why he got angry - i.e. no commission for him.
And as always: The best defense is minimizing data other people have about you. None of my banks needs my phone number, so none of my banks has my phone number, so if someone called and claimed they were my bank, that would obviously be bullshit.

It's not just the obvious "people can't abuse or lose data they don't have" why keeping your info to yourself protects you against abuse.
I've never seen a benefit in storing a form state in react state, forms already hold a state in the DOM, you can read, update and validate it (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Forms/Fo...)

for example, after a form submit event, you can do

const elements = [...e.target.elements].filter(el => el.name); // all form elements with a name
// invoke onSubmit prop with form data:
onSubmit(
elements.reduce((o, el) => ({
...o,
[el.name]: el.type==='checkbox' ? el.checked : el.value
}), {})
);
Doesn't the trade war actually benefit all involved countries?

This could just be a hidden deal between governments to massively increase the tax income under the cover of a trade war.
Aye, that's what they used to use. Great News! Now I don't have to remember to have my card reader and I can use app, SMS or email to get codes instead. Err WTF? Apparently these changes help protect my accounts from fraud better, or some similar Orwellian doublespeak.

I did wonder if it was some unintended consequence of the EU banking interop changes, but that didn't seem especially convincing. OK, changing bank it is then. At least it's so much easier than it used to be. :)

Sorry, I missed the "without changing their Operating System preferences". I agree with another sibling comment here: that seems like bad practice.
Sadly this is my approach, too. If it's important they can leave a voicemail message and I'll call back at my convenience.

I always thought the expectation of interrupting whatever you're doing at a few seconds notice was incredibly rude anyway, even more so now we have so many other ways of communicating.
>It is better if banks include a security warning / specific reason the code is sent with the password reset pins and similar credentials. My bank did not. Another twitter user noted being subject to the scam, and just glancing over the warning copy. So it helps, but it is not perfect. Especially pre-coffee.

I'm seriously surprised there are banks that send SMS codes without a reason for the code. All banks I deal with always send the reason for the code. For example: "This is a new payee addition authorisation code. Last 4 digits of the payee's account number are XXXX, the code is: XXXXXX" or "This a transaction authorisation code for the amount of $XX.XX, to an account ending digits XXXX. The number is XXXXXXX."

I would seriously reconsider giving your business to a bank that doesn't do that.

Interestingly there was an EU regulation passed recently that sets certain standards requiring 2FA for certain operations performed by bank customers. Having set up the 2FA auth app on an elderly relative's android phone and having to set up a pin to unlock a device as this is one of the 2FA app requirements and then spending 2 hours explaining how to unlock the phone, how to use it with a tablet to log in, how to authorise payments etc I have mixed feelings. On one side, it is a pretty secure system that will lower the number of victims of fraud. On the other hand it is a massive inconvenience for elderly people. I like the SMS verification system if done right. I think 2FA is a bit of an overkill.
GNOME, like KDE, still fail short of the full stack developer experience across all distributions, they focus mainly on the UI layer alone.

Something like macOS Frameworks, Android Frameworks, .NET/UWP.

QWidgets are stuck in desktop deployment scenarios, with QML taking front row for everthing else, something that they plan to change with Qt 6, which remains to be seen in what form it will be done.

Qwt is not the same as the commercial support from component oriented companies, including the UI/UX care of some components.
That’s it! React hook form is basically doing that :) it’s uncontrolled.
FWIW, I'm about as privileged as you get in tech, I have a job that is very flexible, I have few responsibilities outside of work, I don't need the money, and I don't care that much about salary.

I wouldn't work 40 hours spread over 2-8 weeks. It's just too much effort for too little reward. If it were paid at contractor rates then I might – I have done a small amount of contracting in my free time – but we're talking $100+ an hour (and I don't live in the bay area).

I understand the value to the company of a trial, and if I were unemployed I think it would be a great way for me to trial a company, and I'd be totally up for it, but fitting this around an existing job, let alone a family, child, being a carer, or just having an active social life, seems so much more effort than any other tech interview process I've seen.

If Automattic paid 2-3x more than others, then maybe it would be worth it for that chance, but that's not something I see advertised so I assume that's not the case.

Seeing this as part of the process I would be seriously concerned about the sorts of people I would end up working with, as I imagine it selecting for a very non-diverse set of developers who struggle to find jobs elsewhere.

That said, if this is not how things end up, I'd be keen to read a "deep dive" sort of thing on these topics, why the extensive trial works, etc. A full rebuttal to this would be a fascinating read.
HSBC did this to me as well. The battery had died in my old token so I had to jump through so many hoops as the default assumption seemed to be that the customer would have a working token to set up the 2FA.
The matter with C++ is not the lack of tools for it, it is that there are too many and it is a disaster with things that should be integrated into the lang arent so it makes an old and obsolete ecosystem.

The build system with so many options that are incompatible between then is a good example, i dont care that i can choose among 5, make, cmake, qt, Visual Studio or Conan as it is a loose-loose scenario, no matter what i choose i always loose, i use Cmake but as any should know many libs still dont have cmakelist in their project so extra work, in cases like with ffmpeg (the reference codec library of the world) it means forget the idea as creating the txt file will need hundreds of hours as i code on Windows and cant build it.

The poor ecosystem that feels like the 80s is one of the reason i am using less C++ and more other langs, i hope the ISO addrees this soon beacuse it matters even if many are happy how things are today.
I'm sorry, but everyone who's been around the internet for long has seen how disastrous such single-hop digressions from $very-important-topic into Naziland end up being. The guideline I quoted is written that way for good reason. It's guarding against the blight that most commonly destroys a thread.

I don't mean this personally; I'm sure that trhway is sincere. Sincerity isn't enough. The burden is on the commenter to distinguish the comment from flamebait, and when it comes to Godwin effects the bar for that on HN needs to be high. Otherwise we'll end up with the nastiest, most repetitive and stupidest of flamewar. (The GP comment failed to clear that bar. The response downthread is of course more substantive.)

I'm not denying what you say about political developments. I'm saying that such important things deserve better. There are constraints on what the medium of an internet forum can bring to them, and to maximize what's possible we must respect what is known not to work.
Unfortunately the BankID has been scammed a lot, where fraudsters have simple asked people on the phone to sign BankID stuff for them.

Quick question: What would an attacker gain from getting into your bank account?

From mine (french big bank), they could be annoying (asking the bank to close accounts, ordering new checkbooks, getting all kind of information on past transactions, wire money between my accounts), but I can't see how one would effectively leverage that.

I mean, an attacker goal would be to draw money in some way; all money wirings to external bank accounts are protected by a code (SMS or in-app verification), with a 24h delay between the time one enters a destination account and the actual wiring.

Is that any different with other banks? Is an attacker able to effectively draw money as soon as they get access to the account?
I don't get it. Are you arguing that because the systems quietly encourage habits of mind that the human driver isn't responsible for knowing that these habits exist and correcting them? Because that subtly implies that human drivers shouldn't be at fault for anything the car does. And that's a pretty scary attitude for me considering that I walk and bike on the roads you drive on.

There are good rules of thumb for things like approaching intersections(slow down, move foot to brake pedal), and you can use EG the dotted lines of the road to decide whether you're going too fast for conditions. The rule of thumb is that you pick a dot that just enters your field of view, and then count out how many seconds it takes for it to disappear below your hood. If it's less than about 5, you are driving too fast for conditions and should slow down. And the rule of thumb is 3 seconds for a strip appearing from behind the car in front of you for a safe following distance on the highway.

It's not nebulous at all.
> The same as if they start emailing you all the time: you block them.

> And since phone numbers are harder and costlier to just generate and use, that block is more meaningful blocking an email address.

You might think that but throwaway phone numbers can be bought cheap for the purpose of spamming.

I cannot think last when I got spam emails in my inbox. I can however think of when I got spam SMSes. It's also obviously cheap enough they can use robots to say things too.

Could this be because someone who knew my number had a compromised phone? quite possibly. I am not very happy about Facebook having my phone number even though I don't have an account with them.

> And size doesn't even correlate with intelligence.

Tell that to Homo erectus. Yeah, whales don't have advanced technology, but they didn't evolve facility with opposable thumbs to manipulate their environment.

> You can't grow your brain as large as you want. There are physical limits on power consumption, power dissipation, and organisational complexity.

Whales show that biological brains could be 6x larger. As for electronic brains, I don't know how large the initial Einstein-brain would be. But if delays from Ethernet interconnect are permissible for intra-brain activity, then your brain could occupy a large datacenter.

> It's even debatable if you can grow an Einstein. What if GI is NP-hard?

I did state that "getting to a computer Einstein" was where skepticism might apply. Nevertheless, nature managed to do it by accident. Are humans NP-hard? They exist. Obviously they can be implemented somehow. You don't need to simulate a particular existing human perfectly; it just needs to be close enough to the way a human brain could work.

If you need an initial state for the brain, maybe you could create an artificial environment (i.e. with only machines, for easy simulation) that a hundred actual humans grew up in to the point where they developed language, verify that those humans later became functional adults; and then simulate an embryo growing up in that environment as well, and start evaluating the results and iterating. Kind of fun to think about.

> "What if we made a golem? We could do anything! What if we put ourselves into the golem? We could live forever!"

The data that computers contain is easy to copy—by design. I think this will be a property of all computers in the future, except possibly quantum computers that always keep lots of data in a superposition (or computers that, for security reasons, are designed to be uncopyable)—and none of the existing neural nets are quantum computers. So copying plus backups or RAID is approximately guaranteed to cover the "live forever" part. Most of what I've said is based solely on the assumption that we develop a computer program that simulates an Einstein, plus common facts about computer programs.
If all people in the book are only described as “nervous” when they are nervous, “angry” when they are angry etc., that would make a boring book.

Varied descriptions are what makes a character. There’s a huge difference between “shuffling feet” and “clenching jaws”, for example.
It's why I love GDPR. Since it requires explicit, opt-in consent, I can just register or visit a site and don't worry much - abuse of my data is a bigger risk to the service than it is to me.
Right. I would say that any large C++ project, especially one with multiple binary targets, will naturally split the code base in dynamic or static libraries.

The loli genre is frowned upon, but there is a slightly different view of pedophilia here: instead of being seen as psychopaths like in the west, they see them more as immature men-child stuck on highschool fantasies. And let's be frank: Japan is far behind when it comes to fight the rape culture.

'They' in your last sentence is a subset of the otaku culture, what you would now call incels in the west. It is creepy as hell, but it is a fringe minority.

Leave it to Theo to sneak in an "I'm better than you. Don't even speak to me because I'm so smart" into a celebratory announcement.
