> But what mystifies me is how these people keep going for years without ever realising they aren't getting account transaction emails (from their banks), notifications of stock trades, even OTP emails etc. How is it possible for people to use these services for years without ever wondering why they aren't getting the routine emails they're supposed to get or even why they aren't getting the OTP email they had generated?

Perhaps they also get paper statements in the mail and text message notifications, and don't even know that they also are being sent redundant emails?

(It can go the other way, too. I think I've got some of my financial institutions configured to only send me email and text. If one was also still sending paper statements and those were going to the wrong address, I'd never notice).
I think you entirely misunderstand the purpose of the GDPR.
Should teachers and administrators get full pay when a lot of the campus is shut down and instruction is virtual? If I were a student or parent of a student, I wouldn't be too happy with that.

I feel like I am lucky, my club has a bunch of old dudes, but they are still learning and growing. A few years ago, I proposed adding a digital repeater, and it caused all kinds of trouble, but most of those folks left and now its great. We have awesome presentations on how to leverage raspberry pis, building portable battery packs, opensource VNAs, etc. But this is true, a lot of the hobby is very curmudgeon-y. Which is sad because there is so much cool tech.
I did - with two specific answers. Then I went and asked a security tester and told you the results of that question.

You can keep using all the words and comments that you want, but the simple truth is that this is a solved problem, I gave you two solutions, and yet you keep using ad hominem attacks.

As you yourself wrote, "Ignorance is bliss". Those are your words, not mine.
Road to Genius: Smart No.23
Not sure this is worthy of being on HN.
I agree with you and grew very weary of these threads. My love of the forum come first from the tech/randomness of this place. However been living outside of China in Europe for almost a decade and half I feel it is difficult to ignore these matters completely. It is still eye-opening to read the many balanced, logical and articulate users here. So that even the worst threads have some enlightenment in them.
Even if you do so, they will just put different label. Hello, "Made in Vietnam"!
What are the cons of mac?

for me:

- Sluggish UI

- Inadequate package manager

- Unintuitive ways to install stuff

- Slow and large updates

- Can't do Linux development

- Can't try server tools

- Slow boot-to-work time

- Hard to add memory and ram

- Limited interfaces

- Hacker unfriendly

- Can't have a minimal desktop

- High memory usage of base system
> Mouse is Logitech MX Anywhere 2S

This mouse has seriously become my favorite ever. Outstanding battery life, very comfortable, it works on any surface I've tried, and it works great on both macOS and Linux.
A thread in the same process could observe the timing change and infer certain things about the memory address. This is mitigated by the fact that intra-thread and host-guest communication is already a side channel nightmare and everyone now only considers process boundaries to be defensible. It's sort of like worrying about someone being able to cut keys from a picture you posted on Facebook when all your house locks can be raked open with a $5 tool from Amazon.
Amazon has been known to ship counterfeit books.
It has been pretty amazing to follow your journey, Arvid. The blog you just wrote is a godsend for anyone looking to self publish. There are so many self-publishing resources not known to most of us (editing tools, proofreader, cover design, distribution).

The section on ISBN was super critical for me personally.
It doesn't seem like you'd be able to do that on wakeup. Don't you have to put those kinds of commands in a hook that runs after a wifi link state change?
I didn't see any sources or references on that comment nor does it mention the concentration camps anywhere.
There's a lot you can do to improve battery life...

T480 - Larger battery cell (I get >20hrs of use).

Then there's a bunch of configuration options: https://austingwalters.com/increasing-battery-life-on-an-arc...

On my new T14s after the latest updates and a much smaller battery, I can still easily get 8 hours at ~2.5lbs weight, 16 cores, 32Gb RAM.
I recently purchased a 16” MBP despite significant personal concerns over the future of MacOS, being a strong open source advocate and Linux paying my mortgage.

I did this ultimately for a few reasons. MacOS lets me run Adobe (Photoshop, Lightroom, etc), Fusion360, has a good terminal (iTerm and zsh unix like shell) and Logic.

Mac hardware is still some of the best in the business, no other vendors seem to be able to catch-up. The XPS line is a great example, the battery that Dell chose to put in that laptop can’t run the internals at full power when not connected to AC. There are plenty of other comments about Thinkpads here (I have a T480s through work) and find the overall experience just fine.

The MacBook on the other hand, I use for 8+ hours every day. It’s the machine I reach for first. It sparks joy. It just works when roaming on WiFi, always. It just works with Bluetooth headphones, always. It just works with external displays, first time, every time. To put it simply, the machine gets out of my way and lets me get real work done. I can SSH to wherever I want and get ‘the Linux experience’.

My personal desktop runs Arch and KDE but for a portable, annoyingly, I still think Macs are the only way to go. But damn do I wish they had a SD card slot.
I work with QuickBase and a few others. Data cleaning/import/export like you said are a big part of it but the larger aspect is client side JavaScript and working with whatever embedded language the platform has.

The other part is building custom apps that run alongside the no-code app, often backed by the API. I've implemented some fun things like transactions that lock so you don't have simultaneous write problems and full text search.

If you are in that business, the distinguishing features that I would look for is being able to use the relational model, an API or way to run code, and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, FERPA, 21 CFR Part 11). Native transactions would be a miracle (for instance update a record and associated child records and roll back if validation fails).
I support Powell's courage and I am rooting for them, but I'm afraid they have waited too long to make a stand and the only limit to Amazon's power to squash them in the marketplace is Amazon's concern about being perceived as too powerful.
Regarding attracting a newer generation: appearances are important! The first image on the page should not have people sitting on a toilet in what is obviously a bathroom. It's kind of crazy someone thought that was a good idea. Fear of being a loner who eats lunch in a school bathroom stall keeps kids away from electronics and hobbies like these.
This will be flagged yn 3, 2, 1 ...

But if you post some technical post about how it work, it may get some traction. Something that includes: What are you using to absorb the CO2? is it regenerated or you must buy a new chemical pack? How do you handle airflow to ensure the contact with the air? Is it mechanical or it has some electric parts?

(And perhaps an explanation of the difference of distilled water and desalinated water, not everyone has a Chemistry degree here.)
I've been a happy user of trackballs for many years, and can also happily recommend the Kensington variety. It is also quite configurable, both in the traditional software sense, and in the sense that you can use it in a variety of different physical ways (thumb, forefingers, at a variety of angles, etc). This variety kind of helps reduce the "repetitive" part of RSI.
why does a new account and non english speaking background matter? You see what's underlying your comment? you try to disqualify people's opinions/comments based on their background. Is that someone from a free speech country supposed to do? Shouldn't we open our arms to different opinions? Isn't that the "diversity" we've been talking about for decades?
Not directly, but you're likely at higher risk.
I still get occasional emails for `firstnamelastname@gmail.com` while I registered `firstname.lastname@gmail.com`

Which seems to contradict what the article says, since the article suggests anyone who registered my `firstnamelastname@gmail.com` would own mine.

Or is the article suggesting actually nobody ever registered `firstnamelastname@gmail.com` and some idiots just think "oh i need to write to firstname lastname" (one of many who share my firstname/lastname in French) and they just compose that email address? I don't get it.

edit: but moral of the story I think it's really a bad idea to register based on a real firstname/lastname -- I'm tired of getting junk ... and worse, getting invoices for other people for a service I also use. I got confused once and actually made a payment which was not meant for me >_>

China doesn't publish updated stats, so how would you know?

Not a word you wrote is true, and you're a useful idiot:

Both monitors on my desk have a single button on the back side of the bottom right corner. The button can be pressed or pushed in each of the four cardinal directions (left, up, right, bottom). It's actually really nice. Since it's only one physical button, there's never any guessing which button you're on. And once you know the menu structure, common tasks can be done completely blind. (For example, I know that switching between input sources is press-left-press. I can do that without even looking at the screen.)
cool video. looks like the remarkable, actually two of them. now i need to buy TWO
> The entire touchpad is a button and you need to press it and try to move your finger while pressing HARD to drag things, for example.

Same here (X240) but it still has left and right buttons, although not shown. To drag things around, just keep pressed the lower left side of the pad (near the user's belly not the spacebar) then gently move the right finger around the pad. It works the same for selecting text.
(This was a reference to the Go language, which after a decade saying “generics aren't needed” and even “the lack of generics is a feature”, are eventually shoehorning them in the language in their Go2 campaign.)
I've spent an accumulated 3 months in Japan over the last three years, and I have eyes, so please don't gaslight me.

Their general use of masks and gloves before the pandemic in high density urban areas is instantly noticeable. It's not 5%, it is closer to 50%.

I saw punks. Literal goth punks, with the boots and the tats and the piercings and the black clothes and the mohawks wear masks.

Before the pandemic. Not during. Before.

In America you have Karens screaming in the face of shop attendants about their "rights" and how they have a "medical condition" that prevents them wearing a mask.

So, yeah. I don't think it's a mystery that Japan did better than the US.
I'm actually considering either going with the T480p or an Asus for my next work laptop (from a 2018 MBP) with Linux on it. I have a T470p though that has a broken motherboard right after the warranty expired. When picking it up to move it around, it shorts out and restarts, apparently this is a known issue with the 470's. But I really fear Lenovo's reliability these days.

Has anyone else had reliability problems with the T series? How reliable have the T480's been?
Yeah, this is a tough one. You can't just have random people saying "please change this email for another person" without permission, on one hand, but you violate other codes if it's clear you send med or financial info to the wrong people. That's why you get so little actual info in emails from bank and medicals these days.

But without a confirmation process to verify correct emails, this will continue as a fact of life, just like wrong phone numbers in the last generation, and wrong postal addresses in the gen before that.
Fantastic explanation of transforms and the example of 20 questions and DCT totally did it for me. The rest of the explanation is hard to grok if aren't a programmer or not interested in image & video compression. YMMV
It depends on people to people, for instance I use Mac because it has a Unix terminal with great commercial software support and decent GPU drivers something that is missing on Linux. UI is the last thing, in fact I would say the choice of UI on linux is far and beyond any other OS can even dream to offer.
The article doesn't mention it, but you wonder if the all-online model, sometimes with non-traditional funding (like Lambda School) will gain in popularity.
I sense this question is pretty elementary, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction for reading:

"When the CPU recognizes that the address [rsi] is the same in all three instructions..."

Is there another abstraction layer like some CPU code that runs that would do the "recognition" or is this "recognition" happening as a result of logic gates connected in a certain static way?

To put more broadly: I'm really interested in understanding where the rubber meets the road. What "code" or "language" is being run directly on the hardware logic encoded as connections of transistors?
Ya, that is the first time I have seen that. Interesting idea.

The author also has a standard HTML page for content that doesnt require comments: https://www.agner.org/optimize/
Ah yes. Good point.

You can filter your gmail based on the TO field (so anything without the dot goes to spam) if you like. I've done the same thing myself intentionally: I give the dot-less version to sites/companies where I need to receive an email or two (account confirmation etc). Then I manually grab them from spam and then forget the whole thing knowing I'll never see the other crap they send me.

Hope that helps, as someone with a common name I sympathize enormously.
Is it the Linux kernel or userspace programs that make Linux battery life worse?
The difference is that when you go to Kroger you search the shelves with your own eyeballs. When you go to Amazon, their opaque algorithm does the searching for you, and it could be (and probably is) prioritizing Amazon brands or "Amazon's choice" over other brands. I suppose an argument could be made about the layout of store shelves serving a similar purpose to the prioritization inherent in search engine algorithms, but I don't think it's a perfect parallel since the shopper arguably has more agency in determining what products they see and when in a meatspace store versus online.
I've encountered the same problem. One day I'm going to stop being polite and cancel the Hotel Reservations, Conference Invites, and other shit that this guy keeps signing up for using my email address. Maybe that will get him to finally pay attention.
I'm curious, what's the difference in feel?
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but no one cares what GenX thinks. Apparently we didn't throw enough temper tantrums as children.
From my analysis, it appears all age groups are going to be somewhere between 50%-100% more likely to die in 2020 than any prior year.

https://austingwalters.com/u-s-covid19-less-tests-more-death...

I think that's a better metric because it puts it in perspective. If you're 30, a 50% increased risk of death is still very very low. But if you're 80+ that risk is pretty substantial.

Note: this is basically extrapolating the New York and New Jersey numbers, which is assumed had the highest COVID19 penetration in the U.S.
Nope, the + trick is not standardized. The RFCs only specify that everything before the @ character is specific to the recipient system and Should Not Be Messed With; even case-folding that part of an e-mail address is a no-no, since the recipient system might distinguish case, and the sender has no way of knowing.

The + trick arose later, as a feature of certain mail recipient programs like Sendmail and Postfix, and most of these programs allow you to change from + to any character you like.

A timely blog post for me: A close friend who is the same age as me (and an EE) has been trying to get me into Ham for over 10 years. I finally became interested and bought a $25 radio (BaoFeng UV-5R) on Amazon ... only to learn that I couldn't talk to my friend on Day 0 because 1. he lives >20 mi away, 2. no line of sight and had to learn about repeaters, and 3. I have to learn technical and cultural nuance of Ham before being allowed to speak. The proposition value that Ham is not an "old IM client" and instead a toy for analog protocol nerds took a long time to understand.

Edit: added radio model, fixed price

The problem is there is just too much variety in books. I've bought a fair number of books from physical bookstores over the past couple of years but they're almost always books I found while browsing. If I go into a bookstore looking for a specific title - unless it's a high profile new release or something common (Jane Eyre or Harry Potter) - they're _really_ unlikely to have it in stock. Sure, they can order it for me but then why aren't I just ordering it online?

This problem impacts smaller shops most of course but even the largest stores can't possibly hope to have more than a small % of every title in stock. That's just a natural consequence of how many books are out there.
Some states even sell their driver database to foreign companies operating toll roads.

Hell yes. In most instances, I'm way beyond this point at only 30 years old. Come to think of it, it actually makes me wonder how I will feel about UIs at 50 or 60 years old.
Deepfake pornography, with videos of popular actresses having millions of views
This is why I've swerved off of getting into HAM. By popular perception (in my circles, and perception doesn't necessarily reflect reality) it's a chatroom for boomers (not necessarily a bad thing) waiting to report you to the FCC for any kind of experimentation (a bad thing), with a cost of entry of at least a hundred dollars for equipment that supports a fixed set of protocols with a very narrow use-case.

Radio just seems top closed off to get into asanything other than a passive listener.

>If he'd shown the tiniest bit of competent leadership through the pandemic, we could have locked down for 2 months, suffered the high unemployment, and then largely gotten back to normalcy(+masks) by now.

Then why haven't the Blue states that have been locked down for months gotten back to normalcy? Like California and New York? Why hasn't Melbourne gotten back to normalcy? Almost nowhere that prevented a first wave by shutting down has managed to avoid a second wave.

Interestingly they also allow you to deposit with Apple Pay (along with many other payment processors, which the user can choose).

Interesting, L1 caches are fast and even if compilers do register allocation they kinda rely on it being not-too-shitty so when spilling (and many compilers for higher level languages doesn't always invest too much time in reg-alloc since they might need to de-opt soon).

I'm curious if this change is an effect of more transistors (more space for a bigger register file) or if they're taking advantage with the microcode translation of the fact that most code doesn't use the SIMD vector registers and re-use unused parts of the register file for these memory aliases.
Which RFC spec? Not 2822?
A sanction from the regulator will say that the issuer "sold to investors without registering the security with the regulatory body" or "without an applicable exemption", because the issuer tried to rely on an exemption but the regulatory disagreed. Not all the reasons that the regulator disagreed will be stated.

Sorry man, not everything that occurs and why it occurs is on Google for your independent review. You just have to talk to people, and lawyers, and come to an average-right conclusion.

Maybe there is some blog somewhere about someone talking about their fine from the SEC or a case study, but its unlikely because people don't want to out themselves like that, or typically settlements (in general, not necessarily with regulator) bar people from talking about them.
>But as multiple private investigators explained to Motherboard, the reasons investigators can give to DMVs in order to access data can be overbroad and open to abuse.

So, what do we do then? Create laws to fix the possible abuse or create laws to prohibit the selling of this information in the first place? Why was this allowed originally?
