Can someone tell PayPal to stop sending “phishing” emails?
I got an email from PayPal this morning about upcoming changes to their legal agreements. It did not include the changes; instead it told me to go review them at a link beginning with:

https://epl.paypal-communication.com/

...followed by indecipherable tracking codes.

I think it's legit, but I feel like the company is pushing me to click a link that smells like a phishing campaign (in order to review ToS changes they made without my consent). The domain has confused others [1][2], is blocked by uBlock Origin, and it's even been discussed here before [3].

Paypal often reminds me to be wary of phishing scams. Is there a good reason they can't use a subdomain of paypal.com instead?

Think of it of decompression software bundled along with a compressed version of the program you actually want to run. So execution starts in the uncompression part, it unzips all the code into memory, and then starts running the program you actually cared about.
As the article points out, Sci-Hub relies on bitcoin for international donations but the majority of its donations come via Yandex.Money, a Russian version of PayPal. I guess that means that most of its donations come from Russians and other CIS nationals with access to Yandex.Money.
Plus the movies aren't that high in quality - many are only in SD when 2K or even 4K restorations are available, and many are marked as HD even though they are clearly upscaled from SD.
If you really wanna watch them, just pirate them and watch them in better quality and do not support this shady website.
What is the big deal with just leaving the a.out alone? I might need to run it again, maybe with different arguments. A few a.out files from test programs are not exactly worth fussing over IMHO.
PACT Act: bipartisan law making social media moderation more transparent
Having used Angular for years, I share the same experience. Everything is hulking complex and opaque. Compare it to React, which is simple enough in principle that you can actually understand whats going on to push your code to browser.

Angular is the J2EE/Plan9 web framework. They just keep layering on complexity when they find use cases that don't work. Instead of ratcheting down to give you more control, you get even less. The cycle repeats. Its way more than a web framework now. The templates you write are barely related to HTML and JS, an order of magnitude more divorced from reality than JSX
All of the high performing results are running with servers written in C/C++ tho.

I think if we have a more performant ASGI server / event loop, the results might be different.

I've always found it a little simplistic that the default cut-off, in most statistical software, for whether something should be 0 or 1, is 0.5.

(i.e. > 0.5 equals 1, and < 0.5 equals 0).

This seems to be a "rarely-questioned assumption".

Is there a reason why this is considered reasonable? And is there a name for the cut-off (i.e., if I were to want to change the cut-off, what keyword should I search for inside the software's manual?)?

> I believe if you think that 91% of parents are going to indoctrinate their children in a way that harms society

The numbers were just chosen to give a counter-point and are purely hypothetical, but even then I think you are misrepresenting them with your 91% statistic.

The 100 good and 1000 bad experiences only represent home-schooled kids in my example, they do not represent all kids (as I presume most kids would still attend normal schools).
Mostly a US issue. Api’s on messaging have been in europe and asia since 2002. The main value prop is easy api’s and global connectivity for our SMS API’s as more and more businesses go global. Also we didnt start any price war. Our pricing is a bit cheaper than Twilio 0.0075 T vs 0.005 MB. That said - welcome any messaging users to email me and we can talk about the price war :-)
Those were on Intel Metal Drivers.

Hopefully drivers quality will improve once Apple take full control of their GPU as well.
This is a great feature, introduced in Feb this year. It addressees a substantial pain point with docker-compose.

Thanks for pointing this out.
This is still in our plans. We're likely to launch by end of year.

Not a fool, just someone with over 20 years experience, who has gone through multiple PCI audits and never once met an assessor who thought it was required.

And if you're managing your servers properly, A/V is unnecessary; first there are few viruses and malware that affect *nix, second, if you can't control code deployment on your systems, you're in the wrong business.

None of our systems providing Internet services are directly connected; everything is proxied/firewalled etc.

If you're expecting ANY of the A/V solutions out there to protect your systems, whether they're Windows/Linux/MacOS, you're going to be sadly disappointed when you get rooted.
My impression from seeing old windows version (never having used anything older than vista) was that in general using an extra window instead of a separate pane inside the window was more common. As far as I can tell, the old windows explorer would pop open a new window for each opened folder. Now it seems like most programs are run in half/full-screen; They arent really treated as windows. IDEs have their own window-layout system anyways, right? (Modal) dialogs are probably more at place in a world where windows is more that just the name of the os.

The choice of geographic unit depends what questions you're interested in answering. If you're trying to answer questions about government, tax base, city services, etc., then you definitely want to use legal/administrative divisions as your unit of analysis. If you're interested in answering demographic questions, like population growth or labor pool, then statistical areas like CBSAs are more useful, because differences in administrative boundaries would introduce inconsistencies in your data.

You can also define a region as an area of (relatively) continuous density - the Census does this and labels them "urbanized areas". Any one of the 3 approaches (administrative boundaries, commuting zones, density) can be reasonable, depending on what sort of questions you'd like to answer.

> Can you really count the population of Newark, New Jersey as part of NYC, NY?

If you're looking at metro areas (which are defined by commuting regions), then you definitely should, because a sizable fraction of the residents of Newark and the surrounding communities commute into NYC for work. The Census does define a sub-unit called metropolitan division, and Newark, NJ is one of these.

> Is San Francisco part of san Jose?

If your unit of analysis is MSA, then no - "San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA" and "San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA". This division recognizes that the two have separate (but overlapping) commuting zones - very few people commute from Richmond to Sunnyvale, or from Milpitas to San Francisco.

However, they are both within the "San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA" Combined Statistical Area, which is a broader unit which recognizes that there are commuting relationships between the two areas - they are just weaker than the commuting relationships within the MSAs.

> What about twin cities, like dallas and fort worth?

Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX is an MSA. For the purposes of maps like this, you can generally just take the name of the city that come first in the MSA name and people will understand what you're referring to.

I'm trying to figure out what your point is and if you disagree with me about anything. Originally I thought you were saying all the rent money you pay is free money for your landlord.

The point of my comment was, no it's not. The amount you should expect to make on owning an apartment for doing nothing is very close to zero. If 3.5% sounds like a large amount, (I'm not clear if you think so or if you think that's a wrong figure or what) that's before taxes, before inflation, and subject to property value going up or down.

I kind of take for granted that the social purpose of financial markets is to reduce economic profits towards zero to the greatest possible extent. There is no question that it's generally a bad thing for people to be paid for doing nothing. With interest rates as they are, it seems like we have the closest approach to zero profits in the entire history of the universe, at least in the developed world. How much more can you ask for?
Yep. Death is the one true source for renewal we have. A world without death is a world with potentially immortal dynasties and dictators straight out of Altered Carbon.

Science progresses one funeral at a time, markets function by companies dying out, at the very fundamental biological reproduction relies on death.

If you think 70 year old politicians and university deans are corrupt, wait for the 400 year old boomers. The end of death is essentially the beginning of stagnation. It's a libertarian fantasy pushed by Thiel et al, because death is the one last thing these people can't buy themselves out off.

Death puts a natural end to even the worst individuals, wiping the slate clean is, sadly but necessarily, what keeps our species and our culture moving .

Sure, numpad is great for data entry. But that's a rare specialist use case, especially for a mobile laptop where you can't use an external numpad (since data entry is usually copying data from some device or paper)
Yes, that's a fact. I can't tell whether you approve of that or not, but here's the background.

After the failure of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of of WW1, resulting in WW2, the Allies learned that unconditional surrender was needed to prevent future wars.

The Japanese military command preferred that their troops never surrender.

So the 2 options the US had were:

1) Curtis LeMay would use 10,000 bombers to napalm those cities, and every last village in Japan.

2) Use 2 nuclear weapons and demand a surrender. The military commanders in Washington debated the ethics of using such weapons, so this wasn't done lightly.

Having studied this over a period of years, #2 makes the most sense to me.

It's being sarcastic, because recording people all the time and auditing what they say privately is dystopian regardless of the position.
i'd say hedonism and emotional control is more of a threat.
Not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but, I think 1080p is a totally reasonable resolution for a laptop. I have a 4k display on my laptop and it's way overkill. I've had it for a few years now and regret spending the extra money on it.

I'd rather spend less money getting the 1080p option and have longer battery life.

yes that's exactly what I'm referring to as the problem - the city limits are arbitrary administrative lines. What would not be counted in atlanta as simply part of the suburb would be counted towards the population of jacksonville because the boundaries just happen to be huge, which means jacksonville ends up larger than atlanta, even though more people are in the atlanta metro area and would call themselves as people from atlanta as there are people in the jacksonville metro area

No. By definition, last mile ISP sees 100% of net-bound traffic. "Various CDNs" itself already represents a dilution of that view, and are not universal themselves. It's an inherent improvement even outside of other factors. But there are other factors, including a decrease in the level of natural monopoly. Last-mile ISPs often have zero effective competition, and even with one or two there are often high change over costs, longer term contracts involved, etc. The closer you get to the net's core however, the more bandwidth there is and the more players there are and in turn vastly more competition potential. That's not a guarantee sure, but it absolutely makes a difference. There's also a limiting factor principle at work: even if you do trust a given ISP, how does that help you avoid CDNs anyway?

It's the same reason that spinning up your own instance of an algo VPN on some VPS and funneling all your home and mobile traffic through that may have practical benefits. Sure in principle the VPS (or data center if you go on your own metal) provider could try spying as well. But competition there is fierce, the average technical level of users is higher, major business interests are involved in reputation, and swapping to another provider is utterly trivial. The incentives and business models for the likes of Amazon/DigitalOcean/Google/Microsoft/OVH/Scaleway/Vultr/[...] in their compute offerings are completely different from the likes of AT&T/Charter/Comcast/T-mobile/Verizon. So it is in fact reasonable to expect a difference in the level of shenanigans too, and hey, if not you can easily move, which also in turn makes it much easier as a practical matter to retaliate (sue), which virtuously further decreases the likelihood of shenanigans.

> Sens. John Thune (R-S.D.), the Chair of the Senate Commerce communications subcommittee, and ranking member Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), introduced legislation yesterday that aims to make major social media companies more transparent about content moderation on their services. The bill would require companies to remove posts and other activity that the courts determine is illegal within 24 hours.

> The legislation, known as the PACT Act, is one of the more nuanced proposals on Capitol Hill in the contentious debate over Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a 1996 law that protects social networks from litigation over the content that people share on their services. President Trump has recently called for the provision to be revoked outright, and he recently signed an executive order that would direct federal regulators to reexamine its scope.

Original title was vague. It was:

ARM has 250 licensees for application processors with 8 licensees (including AMD and Nvidia) who can develop their own architectures around the 64 bit ARM instruction set.

You can buy socketed ARM CPUs today that are likely to be more than fast enough - from Marvell for example.

You're 100 % right that there isn't an ARM ecosystem at the moment in the way that there is a PC ecosystem with all its flexibility.

But that's not a feature of the ARM architecture or what ARM as a company does - it's because x86 has historically dominated the desktop.
We actually do. Difference is we are direct with the carriers and dont pay middle man so we can make inbound free in most countries (which is also how global telecom works from an interoperability standpoint) We also have numering access across local, mobile , tf in over 150 countries.

Funny thing is, the less a tester knows about testing, the better they are. At least this was my experience.

This is both good and bad.

Good because you can give basically anyone a testing protocol and let them work through it. The new ones always find new bugs or inconsistencies.

Bad because testers have a half-life. If they do the job for too long, they will miss regressions.

WUXGA (1200 lines) was also very common.

Nikon 1 hater here. You're not wrong on any of that. They had great technology in even the early models.

But... It was all so expensive. So expensive that for a while the perception was that Nikon was pricing it to protect their precious F-Mount lineup.

And, maybe they were, which wouldn't have been the WORST idea, because it did keep too many people from buying into the system (which, quite frankly, may not have fared well long term anyway, once the right technology was in place for larger sensors to focus as fast as the 1 series could.)

I do also know that some of the system's cost is because the small sensor size necessitated -very- good glass to get good image quality. (Smaller sensor but same MP = higher demands on glass)
And this whole notion of "Symbian Won" reminds me how "Windows Phone Won" too. Just look at the latest iOS 14 widgets which is inspired by WP tiles.
Honestly timetable isn't bad if your school stops abusing you.

Stop punishing kids. Stop grading them like factory workers or defective products. Stop putting them all in one classroom. Change their course work to be more interactive and make an environment where people can naturally be social...

I follow this Japanese light novel where they simulate real world in a school setting. The school campus has everything - malls, bars, gaming areas, hair saloons, library, parks and everything else you would visit outside the campus. Students are given monthly allowance based on the performance of their classes and live inside the campus until graduation on their own. I wonder how feasible it would be to create something like that.

People who think that getting bullied or living in a toxic place when you have no experience in dealing with it is great make me sad. Not everyone has a decent life at home (some have dysfunctional families). For those people, it's misery on top of misery. And then there are folks with autism, bipolar and ADHD.

I was dealing with both. Broken for 2 years now. I don't have any goals, dreams or plans that I had before. Now I have to fight against pessimism at every point and is getting harder to socialize each passing days.

I have a different outlook on life now that people find very controversial or against their moral compass. But I can justify it. The disconnection keeps growing even if you quit.

Life gets better motto stings and disconnect me from others because I can't remember a single nice memory that isn't reading something obscure on the internet or communicating with other internet dwellers.

I have to ask people how they feel about something, what their thought process is and why/how. I can't understand it. I have difficulty understanding your common moral compass. I am not joking when I tell you to explain small gestures and facial expressions. And I feel sad too. I just can't show it always. I don't need to cry or look dead serious to say something serious.

Microsoft has been dabbling with ARM for a long time now.

It will all come down to whether this move gives Apple a significant performance and/or battery life advantage. If Apple pulls it off it will force Microsoft and other vendors to respond.
I genuinely apologize as I think I misunderstood. Of course I'm fine with a bit of jokes about tech but I think I didn't catch any intended sarcasm in your comment—in fact I think I took the direct opposite intention.

I'm admittedly sensitive to gatekeeping. I do think it's one of the biggest reasons the tech industry is the monoculture it is.

Anyhow, I appreciate you clarifying and hope I didn't offend too much.
That's cool. I'm happy that some people had good homeschool experiences. I grew up in a house full of books and loved to read and it mostly turned out okay except for the constant feeling that I had never learned enough.

My point is only that homeschooling in the US has an enormous variety of outcomes. This should be expected, because there is very little oversight, even here in California where some of my siblings only acquired what education a reasonably bright child can acquire by cultural osmosis. If you think I'm exaggerating, it might because you've never had to explain to an intelligent 13-year-old that the '<', '/', and '>' they are learning to use for html can also mean less-than, division, and greater-than.

I see you are invested in a company catering to homeschoolers. I think it's fantastic that education is becoming easier and easier to come by. Homeschoolers need all the help they can get. As long as you are encouraging people to consider homeschooling, I hope you'll take a glance through r/HomeschoolRecovery and get a view of what happens when homeschooling goes wrong.
