If "lost a lot of money" means that they made a large investment that isn't paid off by just the first couple of months of the first generation there's no surprise there and their management would have been expecting it. It's pretty much impossible for their ARM chips to have paid off yet and it's a silly way to look at a long term strategy. It's a bit like a shipping company buying some new, gas-efficient trucks and being dinged because they haven't paid off their full cost in just a couple of months.

Plus this gives them more leverage over Intel on top of already being one of their biggest customers. I can't criticize an approach that puts the screws to them on price competitiveness.

I think Firefox would be more "crap"py if every feature at least one of its users wanted was included. The binary size and startup time would suffer, new feature development would slow to a crawl as every change becomes more difficult, and the interface would be clogged with things I don't want.

==I think it's the western political system and freedoms that can't enforce a lock down rather than the economic system.==

Is this true? Even within the US we have plenty of states respecting stay-at-home orders and making things like masks mandatory. Other Western democracies like Germany, Australia, New Zealand have fared pretty well.
You’ve swapped the first two links.
Ah, well spotted, thanks. I didn't think it was fair to call the title click bait just because it used a while loop to drive the calls to printf, but also including a scanf call is definitely not in the same spirit.

I wasn’t aware of the click to chat function, so I checked it out. On the Whatsapp website it gives clear instructions on how to place the link on your website. It’s a hyperlink that couldn’t be more obvious that your Whatsapp number is in clear text (and will show if you hover over the link, even if it isn’t visible as such). So on the face of it you are publishing your own personal information to the web, it’s obvious it will be visible to search bots, and there is no GDPR issue assuming you are using your own number.

The article and Many comments refer to a QR code/widget. This does not appear to be provided by Whatsapp – there was nothing came up on the Whatsapp website and search results were all for third party services. The article also notes that you have to go to a third party for the QR code. I just quickly made a QR code for my Whatsapp and there was no alt text for the image or other metadata. So if there is a data processing issue then it is with the individual’s use of whichever service they pick.

But underlying both these things are two questions: first, unless the link is being embedded in a user comment on someone else’s website, then the individual using the link or widget is putting it on a website they control. As webmaster (or at least content contributor), they have to take responsibility for the code. As you mention GDPR, then that person is also legally responsible for what PI they publish there, so if they put someone else’s PI (knowingly or not) then they are the one that is potentially in breach.

This leads to another question, which is what proportion of people are using this in an individual capacity (i.e. it is their personal number) and how much is for business use? I suspect the majority is for business use, and in that case then why would you be hiding your contact number? The article talks about identity fraud, but if you’re a business then all the information cited should be public domain anyway, and discoverable. And similarly from a legal perspective, posting a contact link that is obscured could be contrary to the Disability Discrimination Act.

I wouldn’t generally defend WA or any part of the social media commercialisation of privacy, but as many others have said, I don’t believe this is a Whatsapp issue. If there are genuine cases where private information is being leaked, then it points to people either lacking competence or failing to take responsibility for their own actions.
printf once in a while
hm, now that i am reading this, would that basically be the equivalent of paragraph tagging/paragraph connections in a longer document?

i.e. you use one note document for 1 specific book and it might be 1500 words. but instead of linking the documents, you link specific words/paragraphs to other notes/paragraphs?
Just want to say, thank you for Opps Daily :)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the opportunities every day. Was sad to see it get closed.
If we assume a spherical cow and say that there are no rate limits on the captcha service and capture solves are instant, then privacy pass requires you to spend 100ms of CPU time before each request, which is a sort of "work"

If we then say that the captcha you solve can be dynamically adjusted based on how suspicious the request is, then that is a sort of difficulty tuning.

Sure this isn't exactly blockchains or whatever, but it's basically the same idea.

Why would CloudFlare endorse this system if it was just "business as normal but you solve 1/30th of the captchas"?
I currently see it happening with Ruby. I used it as a scripting language for DevOps tooling, CLIs, and for small web apps, but without rails.

What I see is Go pushing it out from the DevOps space and Python is more popular as a general-purpose language.
Tools that were written in Ruby(eg.: Puppet) are outdated and new tools are written in Go.
I still think Ruby is a superior language compared to Python, but because mathematicians used Python and the recent ML/big data hype it got more popular and got better libraries which caused an upward spiral.

While Ruby is the language I most comfortable whit and I don't see it going away in the next 10 years. I have to accept that first-party integrations will come later and later and there will be less third party libraries. That is why I'm currently learning Go and if anyone asks me what language should they learn first I point them to Python.
The changes in code in this case concerned the terminal package, which was changed from 'master/slave' to 'pty/procTTY', which are more accurate terms.

> lacking empathy or any drive at all to understand the world around them.

I wish desperately I knew how to communicate a drive to understand the world around me. I wish desperately wish that I knew how to actually communicate that I don't know or understand things.

People refuse to believe me when I say "I don't know" or "I don't understand" or "I'm missing something".

People refuse to take as honest my questions -- to hear them as expressions of a drive to understand the world around me.

------------

Request for advice: What sorts of words do you use to communicate that you don't understand or something and wish to know it. How do you convey ignorance in a way that people don't think you're lying about it?

I have repeatedly observed both in life and in this thread that asking questions does not work.
Do you have the money from this sale in your account? If so tell them to pound sand and let eBay hold the bag. Legally the sale seems to be completed fine (you've stated upfront that no returns are accepted and the reason for "not matching description" is clearly bullshit) so I wouldn't worry about it. If they try to collect the money later you refuse and keep telling them the same story and provide the same evidence, which by that time will be routed to someone with at least half a brain that will clearly see the lies of the buyer and not fall for it.

It is vital that you have a limit on the number of label pointers that you follow, either by ensuring the pointer points to an earlier point in the packet, or by limiting the number of indirections.

this line of text was more appropriate when this text only showed up when CF had a low "trust score" for you; now website owners have much more control and can trigger a captcha for almost any reason that doesn't necessarily mean your network is infected (eg. A website owner triggering captchas on a page of their website once they have a heavy increase of traffic)
I haven't lived in the Bay for a few years but this brings me flashbacks to that part of my commute.

> that it doesn't match the original sticks

Lol but which is the original?

That's the point.

If you have two that don't match you don't know which one is the legitimate one you just know that they don't match and at least one is not legitimate.

And that's sort of my point, countries that are willing to act and act quickly (be they communist or capitalist) are faring well and are restarting their economies, ones who's governments have tried to ignore the problem and hope it would go away are doing poorly.

I live in NZ - we've had no new cases nationwide for 2 weeks, we have (AFAWK) 1 active case in the whole country. Our borders are largely closed, anyone coming in is subject to mandatory quarantine. When we went into lockdown it was fast and deep, and people honored it, we started quarantining visitors from China early, as a result many of our cases came from the US. Now we're coming out, carefully step by step, I went for a drink at the pub on Friday night, then went out to dinner - there's still mandatory social distancing and collection of contact tracing data - that may all go away next week.

My hardware hacker friends in Shenzhen describe similar careful steps - apparently street markets may be back this week. But when they arrive they have similar mandatory quarantines as we have in NZ - does the US do any?

As far as nursing homes I think it's traditional for older people to live with their kids they don't get warehoused as much as we do in the West. As I understand it one of the big worries in China was that it was CNY, the whole country was on the move visiting family (those grandparents) they locked everyone down before they could return and then moved people back, directly into lockdown
DCS is a concave profile, and you can easily get at least a blank keycap set in this profile for the Ergodox. This is what I use. The Ergodox EZ site calls this profile "sculpted" I believe.

I was no as big of fan of SA. The keys are, in my opinion, needlessly tall; too tall for me given the wrist rests I used. I have been floating my wrists for a while now though, maybe I will give it another shot.

I still pivot at the elbow for reaching the small thumb cluster keys. I move my whole hand to reach the outer corners too. I keep infrequently used keys like function keys there. I have seen people's layouts where they don't even assign anything to those keys.
This is exactly what is happening. The fund management industry is encouraging and attempting to get their slice of the next bailout funds.
The roadmap seems pretty ambitious. From the concept 3rd quarter this year to a prototype in 1 quarter? With 40 or so companies involved and a massive scope to cover up-front? I've been to openstack core meetings and things do not move that fast even in smaller groups.

I'm also curious how much is this going to be a "openstack does this, let's just adopt it" decision. (The Catalog, some Federation, etc.)
Elizabeth Holmes was not supported by any well-known VCs.

Which is a great signal by the way in itself.
If it's financial rock bottom as in that you need to make ends meet, to sustain yourself and your family, it's mostly the environment that dictates what can be done. If the situation seems absolute, as in that no suitable jobs are available, securing land and growing food yourself etc. can go a long way.

Emotional rock bottom: probably goes in hand with the former. Anyway, don't blame yourself. I dunno who made the call and on what grounds they made it. That kind of stuff eats you, especially if you don't know.

In any case I urge you to keep going and wish you all the best. Much to wonder, and live for.
<<Yes, that is what a social contract means, we already have that.

Yes and a time seems to have come to renegotiate that contract.

<<The 'administrators' are we the voters - not the protestors

It is possible I did not communicate this clearly. By administrators I meant 'law givers'( senators, congressmen and so on ). You are right that voters ultimately decide what is the law. Note that protesters is a subset of voters. Note that I already pointed out the popular support for protesting.

<<You're advocating anarchy: the protestors get to decide what is lawful and what is not, for whatever arbitrary reason.

I am not. The system does not break, because one law is broken ( if it did the system would have collapsed already ).

<<It's incredibly naive for people to support extra-judicial action, a lot of which is disruptive and a total transgression of other people's rights, and is sometimes violent.

I do not believe in dura lex sed lex. There is a point at which governed can say: fuck it. We are not there yet, but we are slowly getting there. It is scary, but it is not unexpected. I do not want to go on a rant here, but I will start by saying that total transgression may be overstating it.

<<Consider the next time there is a protest you don't agree with, and they decide that 'the law is not relevant in that case because it's not what the protestors deem appropriate'.

Sigh, I live in Chicagoland. That is not an argument you want to present to me. I am considering it. The moment there was a whiff of protests moving to suburbs, my neighbours were considering it too. Is it scary? Yeah, but change tends to be. You do not know what may follow.

<<It's the total civil breakdown

Eh, its not total. Consider that if it was total you would not posting on social media, but rather foraging for essentials at night. You are overstating your case.

<<The thread of the 'protesters are above the law logic' is totally unwound and nonsensical

You seem to believe that law and order is the US highest value. I do not think it is. And when multiple values clash, one of them has to give way. Surprise, arbitrarily enforced rules gave way.

The police so far haven't openly fired at crowds. It is all but guaranteed that if they felt there was a real chance that the crowd was armed, they would be directly instructed to fire.
This article is full of grammatical mistakes. I know usually we should focus on the content and not the presentation but it’s difficult to take seriously advice on writing from someone who isn’t a good writer.

To address the content, I think the rule to never delete what you have written is terrible advice. Some of the best authors throw away everything and rewrite from scratch multiple times before publishing.
A common question on the CF forum is a requests/second trigger for either enabling Under Attack mode or enabling a Firewall rule that triggers the full hCaptcha page. This is most likely what happened here.

America's broken system of training cops
For a bit of context about this terrible company:

Revolut is the company that misled travelers with marketing about good exchange rates, ease of account opening, etc without requiring ID verification upfront, instead letting them use the account until they hit a certain threshold after which their account is restricted and ID verification can be a slow process, made worse by their terrible and unresponsive customer service. This left many people stranded in foreign countries with no access to their money and they delete any complaints about this on their forum.

They also have(had?) a dubious recruitment process where applicants must refer a certain number of new customers to the app and have them top-up their account for them to be considered: https://community.fintechtalk.co.uk/t/revolut-and-allegation...

Their crypto offering is also a bit of a scam because you never actually own the crypto and can't withdraw it to your own wallet. If Revolut goes bust or suspends your account all your crypto might be at risk.
In the US and elsewhere, the pandemic has shown some dangers of too much reliance on JIT, just in time stocking and use.

Just in time income seems to be as risky, if not worse.

In both cases, everything's fine as long as everything's fine.

EDIT: Mildly interesting side note: I'm an OTR semi truck driver. I am sometimes assigned trips that are designated JIT. There is usually a note included with a JIT trip stating that late delivery will result in work stoppage at the destination.
For those who might not be aware, the Military is run in a very cult-like manner. The core of any cult is ritual (habit / repetition), in-group language, in-group symbolism, in-group socializing, etc. The brainwashing actually begins outside of the military for most people at a very young age, with the daily pledging of blind allegiance to a flag.

Another obvious death cult is the Skull and Bones society. These people have sayings like "might makes right" and "always ahead of the pack". They are like Hydra from the Marvel movies - their members have infiltrated every place of power and they use their positions to pull off things like 9/11. A number of US Presidents and presidential candidates have also been members of this group.

Matt Levine (Bloomberg) gives a convincing explanation in a recent newsletter: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-06-01/stocks...

In a nutshell, he argues that stock price is a reflection of the long-term value of a company (“the present value of the company’s expected future earnings”, which is what stock price theoretically is). With low interest rates, the bad results of 2020 are drowned out by the expected return to normal earnings in the coming years.

> A pandemic crushes revenues. Stocks fall on general uncertainty and a fear of financial crisis and widespread bankruptcies, which would wipe out profits in perpetuity. The fears of financial crisis are resolved, more or less by the Fed and Congress pumping money into companies to prevent panic, so the bankruptcy risk is more contained. Stocks return to a price level that suggests a terrible year, followed by mostly normal.

As an aside, I highly recommend subscribing to his Money Stuff newsletter. Entertaining and pedagogical, it’s a great way to learn about the theory, inner workings and quirks of modern finance.

Yes, you could easily create a Zettelkasten in a single file. Or with pen and paper.

The gist is focused and self-contained notes, linked together to form structure and connections. A personal wiki with attention of recontextualization.
The most important idea I got from zettelkasten was not tagging ontologically your notes, but thinking in future actions like #havingatea, #planningahike, etc.
Whenever I hear "exciting tech" I tend to think "hyped to kingdom come". I think of node, docker, mongo, golang, etc. - tech that was pushed with marketing $$$ or big names. I have an inbuilt bias against that stuff - not that it's necessarily worse than alternatives but that the marketing budget or big name backer instantly makes me more suspicious.

For most developers it seems to work the other way around - big names and marketed heavily => it has buzz => it must be good.

Under boring there are two types - PHP and postgres. Boring tedious and annoying and boring reliable workhorse.

The 2nd type is my favorite type of tech.
