Does someone actually care enough to check the slip? The few times I've been late due to things like this (flat bike tire, crazy traffic, train delay, whatever) my boss was just like ...ok try not to let it happen again and possibly documented it somewhere. I have been salaried for the most part, maybe if you're hourly you might get docked the time.
When I have had someone under me and they're late once in a while I don't really care.

Maybe I was just looking for a fun distraction, but I thought this was awesome. Clever. Funny. People overuse LOL, but I literally LOL'd at the unexpected countdown. Good stuff.
When I worked in midtown Manhattan, NYC I could show up basically whenever as a salaried engineer, but the administrative staff of our office were paid hourly and scheduled to show up at a certain time. They also all lived further out with more transfers so more chances of delay on the subway. The answer from their boss was "plan that into your commute" even though the variance could be 40 minutes for a real delay. Perverse!
Not 100% positive on this, but I believe the admin panel allowed to remove 2FA as well.

Unfortunately I do not at this time. There were several lawyers that volunteered their time for us during the anti-DAPL movement, but I haven't reached out because this was a separate action and I really don't like asking people to volunteer on my behalf. I also am not familiar enough with the system to even know what options I have. I am still not in a position to feel comfortable consulting a lawyer, financially.
Most of those people in HK who are fine with it already have deep connections with the Mainland and want to maintain those. They are a small fraction of the population.
It's also fairly short-sighted and selfish thinking in my mind to sell the off the rights of the younger generation so they can keep their assets and businesses safe.

In the US we have been selling off our privacy and ability to affect public policy through our leaders for much the same reasons, ie short-term gains for the few. Difference is we gave it voluntarily.
To use your analogy, it literally is still burglary when an employee holds the door open to the office for you to enter and steal things. The attackers took over accounts by technical means. This is a perfectly reasonable usage of “hack.”

I wonder if a lot of people sent test amounts to see if it worked or not. 5000 people sending $10 adds up fast.
No, the term (as used in the context of information security) implies deceiving/manipulating people.

I personally saw one of the official @elonmusk scam tweets earlier this week.
This isn't snark - I am serious.

It doesn't really matter to the person getting fired how many people it took to make it happen.
It seems like you're conflating accurate diagnoses with misdiagnoses here. Nobody thinks being medicated based on a misdiagnosis is a good thing, and especially not as a substitute for parenting.
I guess I'm just approaching the policy issue from a practical perspective (the US isn't going to be able to craft anything close to a theoretically perfect policy, especially right now with our tribalism, NIMBYs and corporate lobbying) rather than a theoretical policy which is more pure.

I'll admit that the assumptions I make about rent control assume that the policy is far from well crafted and probably assume that it gets worse over time because US policy makers tend to get worse at upkeeping existing systems the longer they last.

These assumptions probably shouldn't be attributed to a perfect rent control policy.
This has to be considered in a nuanced way. Note that I'm calling "China" the country's leadership as expressed by their official stance, not the individuals or the general population.

- China does pressure operations with other countries.

- China does not have a USA aligned value system

- China is getting quite successful - parity with the US is either here or not far off.

- China is influencing tech companies in a steak-dinner sort of way.

- China does certain things that verge on, or simply are, sleazy.

I would suggest the thing to get excited about, and appropriate boundary setting, would be the sleaze. I look forward to a friendly competition with the Chinese system, where we're both competing to be excellent and trading top places. That seems to be something the AG is concerned about- I don't mind being in second place, if the race is adequately fair. ;)
>> Also, it seems clear that this Twitter hack could have let the attackers view the direct messages of anyone on Twitter, information that is difficult to put a price on but which nevertheless would be of great interest to a variety of parties, from nation states to corporate spies and blackmailers.

It is not as much money as pundits probably think it is worth. And also, trying to negotiate a blackmail is time consuming and opens the risk of being caught especially if it a high profile target, with no guarantee of being paid. Do you really think someone like elon musk will pay a bitcoin ransom assuming there is anything incriminating? Paying off a blackmailer is an admission of guilt and does no good if the info is released anyway.

It also depends on how sophisticated the thief was. Did he have everything automated to dump anything everything from the inboxes while automating the posting of the spam tweets, or was he frantically doing all his postings by hand before twitter could shut it down. If the thief is not sophisticated his main priority would probably be making as much money as possible with the posts and ignore the private messages

Also effectively (sadly): You can bad-mouth someone to your own manager, provided your manager is peers with your target.

I've been in too many performance-review manager meetings where someone under Manager A is up for promotion, and Manager B steps in and says "my engineer had a bad interaction with your engineer" and that's enough to put the promotion at serious risk. Managers are happy enough to effectively kill a promotion with a clean conscience by saying "let's re-evaluate this one in mid-cycle reviews". Sure, set this engineer back 6 months, a year, a year+, no worries all good.
I think people are still severely under-estimating how dangerous this was.

This really needs to be looked at with much bigger eyes. This wasn't just a bitcoin scam.
I'm a little nostalgic for this - I flew quite a few trips in the upper deck of a 747 over the last few years, almost all of them on the back of a long stretch of work and a "celebratory" night before travelling. It's a strange feeling but I'm almost sad to see them go.

On the other hand, more modern plans are so much more efficient. An A350 uses literally half the fuel of an A380, (which itself uses less than a 747).With lower capacity hopefully comes lower demand for air travel - this can only be a good thing.
Eventually ads but, as the head of tech of this venture, we have no plans to sell browsing history. Also, we've taken care to never expose your email address. Deleting a post genuinely deletes the data from our database, unless the post has been reported as violating standards. What other privacy concerns would you like to see addressed?
Funny because that's exactly what the original definition of the term is, before it started being used purely for infosec.
I think they could have done a lot better by having Elon tweet out a new product preorder page (limited edition Tesla merch?), which accepts payments in crypto. Really anything other than give me X so I can give you 2X, which has been done to death already. 100k is chump change, historically for this class of scam.

Another idea is, hijack customer service request DM's from crypto exchanges, and lead customer to phishing login page. Perhaps could athorize API access to the account, and then change email back to original, without the owner realizing account breach.
My experience if being up there was always business. They didn't operate first on those routes.
Yes it can! But, unless I'm mistaken, only within the same bank. This means you can basically only do this for sequential access, not random access.
And there's still a non-zero latency between the responses, so it's still slightly slower than doubling the channels.
I'll take that as a compliment! Thanks.
Agreed, it doesn't provide an answer for lack of supply, and growth needs to be controlled to pace with things like public and private infrastructure, and even jobs.

However, it doesn't justify the runaway inflation of the entire housing market. Also, I'd point out that generally speaking, the population of an area will be limited by the jobs available in that area, so there is an external limit on the demand for housing to at least some extent. There are jobs and money to be made in development of additional housing to meet the demand. Supply issues are not insurmountable, and should be addressed as such.

I'll also note that in the USA, all of the "intangibles" you listed are already typically collected by the landlord along with the leasing application itself. This isn't a result of rent caps, just high demand and standard tenant screening practices.

To solve problems, you may actually have to try. Obstacles don't justify problems, they just need to be addressed.

Exactly this. Give me a simple but high res screen in each eye of my glasses and a split, flexible Bluetooth keyboard I can set down or strap to either leg (perhaps). I'm tired of being tethered to my laptop and would pay for the privilege of freedom to roam while remaining productive.
I've been seeing similar scams in Elon's replies, they just copy his profile picture and name and reply with a different account. You might have seen that one

In Stockholm, decades of rent regulation has created a massive undersupply of housing. That means there is a 9-year wait list for apartments. The way rent regulation usually works is it caps rent increases for a given tenant. Tenants thus never leave their apartments, so the prices for the few openings (and newly built apartments) is astronomical.

> Another legacy of Sweden's post-war efforts to develop a more equal society — known as "Folkhemmet" or "the people's home" — is rent regulation, which applies to both municipal and privately owned properties. While millions of Swedes have benefited from the highly affordable rent levels set since the 1960s, the caps have had a damaging effect on the provision of new housing.

> Historically, the low returns from rents for private landlords have made the investment case for building new rental properties difficult to justify, the Swedish bank analyst said.

> The love for rent-capped municipal properties among the Swedish people is strong. Almost 500,000 people were on Stockholm's waiting list for public housing, according to figures released in 2015, double the number from seven years prior. In 2014, the average waiting time to get an apartment in Stockholm was 9 years. Once a person is given an apartment, they often stay there for life. "People are sitting in 300 square-meter apartments because they are so cheap that they can't leave them," said Pelles.
>My sister took graduate courses in psychology for a time. She once said to me "We clearly don't have the genes for schizophrenia in the family or someone would have it because the family would have driven them crazy by now."

Hogwash! You cannot "drive someone schizophrenic" no matter if they have it in their genes or not. I can't even begin to try and correct this. It's like saying "dad is such a jerk that he drove me to become blonde instead of brunette!"
Neither Obama nor Biden nor Bloomberg are "active government officials". They have no power to conduct U.S. government business, thus an intrusion on their private social media accounts is not going to be an obvious or immediate threat to the security of the U.S. government.

Yes, it's possible he won't end up sterilized by this. However:

The breast growth triggered in men by medical doses of estrogen is not reversible and requires surgery to correct. There will be social ramifications for life. There may be other (non-virility) physical ramifications for life.
In this thread could we have people preface their comments with the intent they're assuming of the doctor? It seems to be a split between "the doctor was using an non-indicated treatment { in an attempt at gender-bending | for unknown reasons }", and the discussion is a disaster because everyone is talking past each other.

> You can't just add 15,000 people to a neighborhood and not add parking or public transit capacity.

That's exactly why suburbs in Silicon Valley are stressing the large cities and the cities are suing each other to ensure they alleviate traffic congestion as they grow the residential units.

Those who live in the burbs and commute into the cities don't want city dwellers to be able to make the reverse commute to come to their neighborhoods. In the 1960s, the Bay Area Rapid Transit (a light rail system) was designed to be a loop between San Francisco, Oakland and the South Bay. The NIMBYs rejected plans to close the loop in the South Bay, so it became much less valuable at reducing street traffic as it otherwise could have.

And what I'm saying is that you can achieve progressive overload with harder variations and more time under tension. There's plenty of ways to keep you in the strength rep range using kettlebells and/or calisthenics.

I am used to spotting cryptocurrency scams. The tweet I saw was from his official account, days before the "Wednesday hack".
Next time you are flabbergasted upon reading a headline, or seeing an 8 second excerpt - take a moment and view the entire source material. Be it the press briefing, speech, or document. What is often revealed is that the bulk of the content is uneventful and the moment in question is either the result of an unusual sentence structure/pauses, a poorly expressed idea that was revised or clarified in later sentences, or an ad-libbed paraphrase/metaphor/idiom that made more sense considering the surrounding context.

As you see how many flabbergasting moments are not quite as portrayed or are outright constructed, you will understand why articles like the OP are relevant. Selective gotcha reporting is the game, and it is detracting from reporting on the actual policies and failures of the administration.

For example, here is a fact check on the "drink bleach to cure Corona" rumor that you mentioned:

I think it's generally doable and done, except in Paris where you couldn't afford any sort of accommodation at all.

There is little left at the end of the money. You're not going to holidays or restaurants any time soon. Hope the car doesn't break or you're in serious troubles. Assuming you were handed a car by your parents because you certainly can't acquire one by yourself (3000 or 4000 upfront!).
The funny thing is you could create an ethereum smart contract that verifiably will double any money you send to it, and send it back, at least until its own funding pile runs out.

What about Reps. Nancy Pelosi or AOC, both of whom are extremely visible and active politicians, and who draw similar kinds of ire as Obama/Biden?
Thanks!

The monomorphization-vs-dynamic dispatch thing feels natural from a C++ perspective, as it completely mirrors the choice of achieving 'polymorphism' via templates or virtual methods (though of course the Rust syntax is way nicer!, using traits for both, whereas in C++ you have either a class definition or...nothing, just ungodly compile errors ("compile-time dynamic typing")).

That's interesting re Swift. It seems similar in a way to using heuristics to decide whether to inline a function or not.

I _think_ C# does monomorphization for value types ("struct") and vtables for reference types ("class"), though I wouldn't bet on it...

> fn it() -> impl Iterator<Item = i32> {

One of the things that impressed me w/ rust was being able to write really concise code using ".map()" and friends and finding that it all ended up running just as fast as raw loops.

(The thing that has most impressed me about rust was the crossbeam crate + type system + derive stuff, which let me parallelize board search in an incredibly easy fashion. I found it much nicer to work w/ than Go channels, which is supposedly one of Go's big tricks!)
I flew upstairs in a BA 747 to Tokyo. Was business class. It was a bit better than my return flight downstairs in business class as there were only 20 seats and 2 crew between us so better service.
Excel is great as long as you stick to the basic use cases. Start going nuts and it gets really slow. I think Apple got it right when they made their spreadsheet app have a much smaller table so people don’t try to use it for massive things
I think you're missing the point of contention.

> [...] it's not even 1.0 yet. Thus, it isn't stable enough for production use.

API stability (i.e. how the API will change in future) is largely unrelated to the question of whether you can trust it to work in production.

Maybe for some people API stability is a "must have" for production use, for the sake of minimizing churn when upgrading dependencies, but that's far from a universal principal.

I think people often get confused about different meanings of "stable". I've worked with plenty of libraries with stable APIs that are buggy piles of hacks. And I've worked with plenty of libraries with unstable APIs that are rock-solid in production. They're different concerns, but people seem to conflate them a lot.

So, to clarify, any statement like "not even 1.0 [...] isn't stable enough for production use", made without qualification, is a non sequitur.
> Do you really think someone like elon musk will pay a bitcoin ransom assuming there is anything incriminating?

Maybe? I mean I certainly don't dismiss the idea out of hand. The one strong counter-argument I can think of is that very few things would actually embarrass Musk at this point.
I agree, but I also believe housing regulation and health care reform must accompany these things. Allowing these markets to buoy with the increase in everyone's income will negate the positive impact, having the effect of routing the additional income into the hands of the same people who already hold all of the wealth.

It's almost as if web services that let people post whatever they want at any time, vulnerable to whatever security flaws may be present, shouldn't be used as a reliable source for up-to-the-minute information about literally anything important at all.

That's not us, that's tech support scammers.

Opening a CMD and executing an "echo YOU HAVE VIRUSES", or repeatedly executing TREE command, are used in practice to bait people into paying for "malware removal" and "anti-hacker protection".
It may appear that way, but it's not surprising at all.

First of all, it's a great business. Shopify is exploding like crypto kittens, and with millions of sellers, even if you secure just the top sellers, let's say 1% of the Shopify market, and charge $10,000 per year, that's a 100-million-dollar-business. That's incredible.

From there, you have a choice to either expand further in the market, or start offering more advanced tools to your best customers. Given that Shopify is currently at 100B market cap, yours could be 1B in just a few years, if not sooner.

It's brilliant!
