Same -- I got several e-mails with subject "The following services failed to auto-renew and are about to expire" that I almost believed were real because they came from an actual sendgrid server (wrqvpkzw.outbound-mail.sendgrid.net [149.72.49.233]).

If SendGrid can't develop simple filters to deter phishing e-mails sent through their platform targeting their own service, then obviously they're going to end up with a lot of users being hacked.

I mean seriously, why would an e-mail provider like this allow e-mails to be sent from "renewaldepartment@sendgrid.com" and "support@Sendgrid.com"??
The speed still matters somehow.

Well, take Johnny Cash. Half a mile a day * 30k days gives 15k miles; maybe it's enough to reach heaven, but not enough to e.g. reach the Moon.

So, when choosing to move steadily albeit slowly, you have to manage your expectations, and get used to get by with little.

Investing your time is not unlike investing your money: least risky strategies bring most stable but least spectacular results, while big bets bring both big gains and big losses.
The good thing is we can just call it ‘having children’ of something with negative connotations like burnout.
With that kind of sloppy security in place, Cisco is going to be easily ransomwared.
I guess my point is that at least for iDevices, the batteries actually are replaceable. You just need to have a few extremely cheap tools, and a small amount of skill. Or just pay somebody else the $10 who already has the skills.

Calling them non-replaceable makes people think these devices are far less repairable than they actually are. And with the prevalence of phone repair shops, we really need to stop calling them "non-replaceable."

Certainly they can't be swapped out on a daily basis. But that's a very very different use case.
To me this whole thread reads like an ad for solar + local storage. There should be tremendous resilience advantages compared to grid power. I’m surprised security/defence authorities aren’t pushing for that?
It’s fine to want that but to force it is an entirely different issue. The entire premise of the law suit is that Apple is in violation of anti trust laws and actively harming the customers. Apple has been literally criticized every year for a decade regarding their restrictions and yet people still buy it. Is the thought process here that we are all naive consumers who don’t know Apple only plays nice with Apple? The damn cords clued us in years ago.

I don’t want to rob people of being able to have open hardware but I also don’t want that need to dictate all platforms. Luckily, there are a lot of phones which fit the needs of that market. If I want a phone with one App Store with authoritarian control of the system should I not be able to buy it without fear that one day it will be too popular and deemed too draconian in policy?
No, the DC Sniper did not use an assault rifle. They used a Bushmaster XM-15, the same pattern as the most popular rifle in the country, sometimes called an “assault weapon“ (a political term for political purposes) because of four or five cosmetic traits. An assault rifle would have been prohibitively expensive.

On the x39 and AK pattern guns, 400m for the round, 200m for the gun, typical maximums, although obviously there are videos of people shooting them both longer distances.

By using the term “sniper” for “a bunch of guys unloaded on a transformer station with AKs or SKS”, it’s just using your ignorance to create a picture of the scarier thing. Same thing as confusing the difference between assault rifle (real) and assault weapon (not real).

Thank you for sharing, also.

Until I read your original comment I sort of forgot about that sort of feeling since it's been months of normal daily grind. I wonder if anyone has done serious study into this type of performance.

Some things I've found:

- Waking up way earlier than usual works for about 1 day a week but then I'm more tired the next few days.

- Hydration helps me. A big cup of water is more important than coffee in the morning.

- Caffeine is great. I want to try a detox and re-introduction.

- Socialization is a double edged sword. I find it easier to be hyper-productive when my life has enough interpersonal connection, but being with people is fun and the more I socialize the harder I find it to settle into flow at work

- Eliminating distractions is really important for me (or maybe it's a side effect?) but in my times of hyper-productivity there is no distractions or desires for distractions (ex: video games, social media, etc)
These are fantastic truths.

Additionally higher hourly rates cause clients to second guess you less.
So long as you do not also send spam, or send mail that someone might think is spam. I'm a mail admin and can see my users's spam reports. Lots of those messages are authenticated and there's actually not that much malicious stuff being delivered in the first place. It is just that the messages aren't wanted.

Once your messages start to get reported, the sender's reputation goes down until its spamscore qualifies for the filter.

It doesn’t sound like this is what happened though.

It sounds like this may have been more accidental than malicious.
I kind of work on 6 different things from time to time. For some reason awesome new ideas have been coming more slowly lately.
I don't think I did a great job of making clear that my main gripe with their support (taking months) was from a separate, personal account which — from day one — was unable to send non-spam, transactional email to anyone with an Outlook address. In my first example, the account's (for previous employer — not "me") right to support I guess is more debatable...

But I don't think your analogy of the hotel room is totally representative here. Without knowing how someone has had their credentials hacked, it's much more prudent to assume that in your analogy that the room key was pickpocketed / stolen. And then it becomes more of a grey-area as to how much support one can expect.

That being said, I do appreciate your insight on account value, as compromised accounts clearly do constitute a burden that don't end up paying for themselves (even if they aren't "to blame").
It should be an LED Array. This is one single piece of monolithic silicon. Quite impressive. I need to sell my 16Mcp flash light. The company makes a 10x10 LED Array. The 10x10 required a very large CPU cooler, and still gets a bit hot.
Terrorism is any use of violence or intimidation for the purpose of furthering a political goal. The political motive is a necessary element of terrorism. While you could presume terrorism as being the most likely explanation, it’s not the only one, as state sponsored acts tend not to be classified as terrorism (depending on the perceived legitimacy of the state in question).

Of course is a politically loaded word, so people will redefine it to suit whatever their political agenda is. But that’s it’s original definition at least.
That article isn't about COVID in isolation it is about whether the drastic economic shutdown was an appropriate response. I think that is still a very debatable item, but data from Sweden, for example suggests that it wasn't a good tradeoff. There is also evidence that social distancing and masks would have been a reasonable approach vs full shutdown mode.

I'm not sure what to make of your "reasoning backward" statement. Just not sure what it means.
Well the existing alias predictor is in quite a different part of the pipeline: around the scheduler and execution engine and it gets feedback from the actual aliasing behavior.

That said, I also thought they might feed this info back to the front-end in order to implement this.

However, Agner's testing seems to show otherwise: it seems that "does it alias" is determined basically by a symbolic comparison of the addressing expressions. That is, [rax] matches [rax]. OTOH, [rax] doesn't match [rcx] even if those registers hold the same value. Also [rax + rcx * 2] matches [rax + rcx * 4] even though the scale factor is different! Perhaps it was too much work to compare the scale factors.

The example 20.3 where he incremented the value in between the load and the store using a different addressing expression (but the same address) and it consistently took a misprediction seems to indicate that they are not using an aliasing predictor in the usual sense since this always-fails case should be easy to predict.

Overall, quite interesting and some surprises there.
> brightest whites

I which they would not, it's annoying when reading outside.

But I'm all in for the darkest blacks.

And yes I agree that if the contrast is to bright it most times you monitor which is generally set to bright.

Hm, maybe one exception might be OLED screens, but reducing the general screen brightness should still work.

If you are still convinced that it's to bright DO NOT make the black not black but make the withe less bright, preferable some subtle bright non gray color like for example hacker news does it.

That makes the contrast less strong without being a accessibility nightmare which requires people to open their web-console and modify your CSS.
I have some experience with zen monasteries in the West. It's generally considered very unlikely that you'll be able to sit for over an our on the ground without significant pain arising unless you're unusually flexible or grew up sitting like this. Forcing yourself to sit for long hours can be good for your practice, but it can also lead to injury.
Many people chase money just to chase money, because they think that it will make their life wonderful. And many of them are disappointed when they get money (if they do), because it didn't make their life suddenly wonderful. I think that's the point you're trying to make, and it's a valid one.

But you're making it in such an extreme way that it makes you sound completely disconnected from reality. I can want a nicer house. I don't have to have the blueprints for that to be a dream that exists.
> I shit you not, I've personally had apps rejected by the review board because they didn't like the screenshots. Those were screenshots of the app itself.

That kind of editorial feedback seems like a good thing, no? Do you feel like that process improved how your app was presented to users?

All Apple would have to do is to have the back cover use screws instead of adhesives, using up about one tenth of a cc more volume, and use a more malleable adhesive for the battery (or none at all). It would take at most two more tenths of a cubic centimeter more volume.
Can you quote that?

Entirely possible. It's sometimes useful to remember that even in today's "open" world (The fall of the Soviet Union made it a lot less like active warfare even in the spooks still roam free) there will still be huge amounts of material known only to those on the inside.

In the 70s there was an unannounced (to the PM) "terrorism drill" on Heathrow Airport, that some have alleged was a practice run for a potential coup against Wilson (I don't think that holds much weight, but it's not impossible)
This does not warrant doing that.

If the gab devs were somewhat competent they'd create their own F-droid repo and distribute their app through that - F-droid allows this, and cannot stop this.
The whole idea of "language X is interpreted/compiled" is a simplification I wish people were more careful with.

Cpython is interpreted, pypy has JIT, mypyc is compiled. It's the implementation, or even implementation's specific runtime options that decide about things like that, not the language.
Because some memes become entrenched? Even when they're hopelessly outdated and require lots of filtering or creative interpretation.

"I'm not working to exhaustion anymore and take a tortoise approach to my career. I've found that as long as I'm consistent and have my eye on my goals, it doesn't matter how hard I work outside of my day job. I just need to be consistent and take advantage of bursts of motivation."

Or, is there any article/post you may have written already?
Hotel bills are broken out like that because the tax system allows many write-offs and reimbursements of many of those fees. They're broken down because they often go to different parts of the local, state and federal governments, and it's important that those seeking write off or reimbursement know who they need to claim those against.

Interestingly, many large companies use services for this kind of thing, much like Apples walled garden, where their employees can spend without worrying about tracking all these details, and the service takes care of all the (significant) legal wrangling and deal negotiation to make this simple.

That's essentially what Apple does for their money: makes it possible for users to buy things across a host of jurisdictions from an ecosystem of vendors, without risking their device security or payment security. There is a significant amount of legal and infrastructural wrangling involved, most of which the end customer, and many of the vendors don't fully understand.

But yeah, let us focus on the least important part: price.
I didn't study the specific contract in detail, so I could be way off base here, but...

It seems like the money could have been safely claimed using a tiny amount of crypto. Something like creating this contract:

contract Example {
function Example() public {
if (keccak256(msg.sender) == HARD_CODED) {
do_transfer();
} else {
do_something_terrible();
}
}

Would be bots be able to automatically determine that they need to swap out HARD_CODED with the hash of their own address?
Ya, I'm all for great equipment. But one cannot deny the attitude & behavior: they want to abuse their bodies and not pay the price.
Substations would still be necessary. Substations are responsible, among other things, for controlling voltage level.

Integrating power grids usually involves more substations, not fewer.
Arrested Chinese national says he is only a translator, when the person was listed as the CEO.
Because of the environment of gas stations (easy to get in and out, open all the time, has cash on hand, not at the top of society) they typically already have really good cash handling procedures in place. They are already paying for cash to get in and out quickly and securely so I think when compared to something with similar margins and volumes like a grocery store, it makes more sense to push for more cash via discount vs a grocery store. As an anecdote, I don't think I've seen a grocery store offer a cash discount whereas I've seen it offered at gas stations frequently.
It sounds cynical, but I've found that porting Python code to C++ and using Qt is much less headache than trying to make a clean Python "app" that can be run by non-technical users. However a simple solution is to distribute a local copy of Python with all the packages pre-installed. That's not as clean as a single exe, but generally you're going to need DLLs or whatever anyway, and to the end user, running a bat file that calls Python hides most of the mess. The bigger problem with that is hiding code, if you need to do that, but you can always distribute pyc files on their own.

This may have changed, but the last time I tried freezing it took a lot of massaging to get it to work reliably. So I've always opted to just ship a complete python env. I've seen big commercial products do the same when they need to provide python support - you may have experienced this when some new install accidentally adds a new python interpreter to your PATH.

A recent conversation on reddit exposed me to somebody who feels its ok to say card fees are for chumps and fund his no fee high return points wins. I think predating on ill informed poorer people who incur credit card debt and fees is wrong personally. Some people think it's OK.

Herbalife is in this spectrum of product: the government is mostly financially a-moral not moral or imorral and so prostitution income is not untaxable even if prostitution is. Herbalife has to get closer to the ponzi end of the spectrum to fall afoul of the law. Right now, it's only appealing to greed.

If herbalife and flyer miles points cards predate willful stupidity then the government needs a strong drive to legislate because in the end it too is conflicted.

Its a long bow libertarian position I dont agree with BTW, I think the role of government is to protect the innocent dupes. But there are thin-end-of-the-wedge arguments a-plenty here.

If I were king, I'd ban herbalife. If I needed a kings tax income I might not.
I can definitely relate to this. My own journey is, in addition to a couple of stints as a founder that didn't work out, I've worked primarily for other startups as opposed to large companies. After 10 years what I have to show for it is about $35,000 from one moderate sized acquisition of a startup you've definitely heard of but was not especially lucrative for anyone except the founders, some options that I never exercised and are worth 0 today since the company shut down, some other options that I never exercised and lost 3 months after leaving the company that may or may not be worth something eventually but I couldn't afford to exercise/didn't feel strongly enough to make a big bet on, and now finally some options where I have 8 years left on a 10 year exercise window which may actually go somewhere (but could also end up at $0 or something minimal).

I had other peers in my graduating class in college that went to work at places like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon while I went to do a startup with a few friends, then ended up mostly working as an employee for these other startups. I find it interesting to idly muse about what would have happened to someone who'd joined one of those companies in an entry level engineering role in 2010 and stayed there while having a fairly average career trajectory, say getting to a senior engineer level 5 years in and then plateauing, going from a stock grant size of maybe $50k a year when joining to $150k a year at senior level. Doing some rough estimates based on stock prices over the years, if you'd been in that position at any of these companies and never sold any stock you'd have something like $2.5 million (Google), $4 million (Microsoft) or $6 million (Amazon) in stock today. And of course your base salary and cash bonuses over that time would have been higher than your base salary working for startups.

I don't say this to complain, I'm still doing fine overall and there are a lot of people in the world who work very hard for a lot less. But I also don't feel like I've really accomplished much of any significance. It's pretty mind-blowing to realize that the less risky, more tortoise-like approach to a career would have been so vastly more profitable than what I've experienced at what I would say have been a pretty average selection of startups. And it's not like the startups have been so much more fulfilling, you're still pretty much a cog in the machine as an engineer even at a 30 person company.

In conclusion - working at a startup smaller than, say, series D is a fool's game and a very likely path to one day looking back and feeling like you haven't accomplished anything. Either become a founder to try to build something meaningful from nothing, or just work at a FAANG company as a 9-5 and get your fulfillment elsewhere and/or retire young.

I don't think you really understand the meaning of the words "I had the personal experience of being targeted." Mostly because you seem to ignore the words you use. Especially the word "targeted." Also because you could eliminate the word "personally" and you'd be more correct. But really, you can't just be in the middle of a protesting mob and then they get tear gassed and then say "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND ONLY ME?!"

>2. You're now editorializing my experience of which you have no knowledge, calling it a mob. Oh my. Please refrain from using your imagination regarding my experiences.

I think that's a lesson you could learn from regarding other people as well. It seems like a right you reserve just for you.
My suspicion is that Microsoft and Amazon aren't interested in charging in here because they're much more in "frenemy" positions with Apple; Amazon used to be fairly antagonistic toward the Big Fruit, but they've been more amenable to having their various services work together gracefully over the last few years, and Microsoft has ended up being pretty enthusiastic about Office on iOS. So they probably just figure that it's not worth going to war over.
That happy reason is Chinese knock-off factories, which can make anything from knock-off screens to main boards, sometimes recycling some chips. If you were to go to China, you would often be able to buy every replacement part for more or less the going price of the phone.

Covid: The Optimistic Case for Mental Health
The flip side is twofold - to take advantage of said autopilot, you need a pilot’s license, which is significantly harder and more expensive to get than a car license.

Aircraft are also expensive (and come with expensive operating costs like airframe examinations), since their failure mode is a more-or-less controlled “falling out of the sky” - so you want the most resilient parts you can have to skew more towards the “more controlled” end of the spectrum.

There’s also a whole network of human traffic controllers who work 24x7 to accommodate our existing air traffic; more would be required.
