When I run into that problem I wait for the rejection mail from the creditor, then I write back with a redacted photocopy of my IDs - completely useless with everything blacked out but my name - and a copy of their letter. I say here is my redacted ID as proof of identity and a photocopy of your letter as proof of receipt so please approve me and that has worked every time so far.

Funny I actually went back and read the IM2000 page again yesterday when someone submitted another blog post about DKIM from the same author. I resisted mentioning it.

When I read it this time I started wondering about how the "notifications" would work. How would we tell a genuine notification for something we want to retrieve from one that is just a front for some "attention seeker"?

This is a pretty ignorant and immature post.

For example, "All I know is, if that was my building and they were my tenant, I'd probably sic the fire marshal on them." Well, you clearly don't know very much, and this kind of histrionic commentary isn't useful to anyone.

On the other hand reading the comments I'm pleased to see people chiming in who do know the purpose and legitimate use cases of this little adapter. Personally I had no idea so I'm fascinated to learn, and hopefully one day the knowledge will come in useful. So even though the post has irked me I'm glad to have read it just because of the comments.

Professor Placed on Leave After Using Chinese Word That Sounds Like Racial Slur
1) Do not immediately use your real name to say funny things. Exit all social media, but "Congratulations baby!" Post a message like. This prevents you from meeting enemies who know your real name and reduces the chances of someone being you.

2) Start adopting a new pen name. Use different content on each site and use the password manager to stay in login. If you forget, don't worry. Treat all accounts as one-time accounts. that is not you. This is not "your brand". These are simply tools for putting on an anonymous mask and attending a walled garden party.

3) Do not mix the two online roles. Save your politics, jokes and personality in a pseudonym account. Keep boring and safe comments and dog pictures in your default account. Anonymous accounts do not talk about the weather in real life. Book such discussions only with family and friends. If you make a mistake, please delete your account and create a new one.

Anyone in any society will try to defend themselves from murder by any means available to them.

So if that's all the defense Anarchism has from murderers, it will definitely have more murderers than any society that adds any extra countermeasures.
Ok, my experience is with GRE, and my assumption was that SAT would be something similar. For GRE, to get a good score (85+ percentile) you need to score really well in the comprehension section, which has a significant weightage. It requires considerable command over English vocabulary, its idiomatic usage, and of course along with other things like logical thinking, keen observation etc. Merely remembering word lists without understanding its contextual usage would only get you so far. Definitely not the kind of success exhibited in the article.

I'm not sure this is advancing in the right direction for the users.

Optimizing traffic is probably doing more harm than good. It's one kind of premature optimization. I see it as a way of masking potential underlying problems like not enough investment in infrastructure, or too many cars for the capacity.

Squeezing out the performance from existing infrastructure, is probably harming the longer game of having a good transporting system for the users. And that's a game that should be played by the owner of the infrastructure, not some third party which just exploit the externalities by sending heavy road traffic through calm neighborhoods every-time there is a traffic jam, often increasing the risks of further accidents and grid-locking everything, because those roads were not designed for those spikes.

The worse is that more often than not, those routing apps are not even making the user win some time. But it makes the user happy because he believes he took the right direction by following the app direction.

Often it's net negative for everybody.

> Why aren’t there decent portfolios to look at?

It's a chicken and egg problem. Most clients want to see previous work, but don't want their project to eventually become part of that previous work. The issue is compounded by the fact that most commercial software isn't flashy and easy to demonstrate to the casual observer like, say, a Dribbble account is for designers.

If experience with my own clients has taught me anything, it's that the best way to find good people is to just talk to them. Start incrementally - first a talk, then give them a few days worth or work, then a week, then more. Evaluate them at each step - starting with how they communicate and how professional they are and then the quality of their deliverables. I've noticed a pretty strong correlation between bad communicators and poor quality of work, thought YMMV.

"Edit: Also, consider that if you're in a jurisdiction where it's legal to have a 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit"

15amp receptacles sold in the US are 20 amp passthrough.

So it is common practice and completely reasonable and safe to put 15amp outlet receptacles on a 20amp circuit because the 15amp receptacle cannot accept a physical 20amp plug.

It is NEC Compliant unless the receptacle is the only receptacle in the 20amp circuit - see "210.21 Outlet Devices".

You make an interesting point, I don't think we'll ever find out without trying!

I think a central corruptible government is key to have massive corporations, I would expect the market not to be as centralised if starting a company were easier and if we didn't have regulations.

In case I'm wrong and we end up with a few massive competing law enforcement agencies, I still think it would be an improvement over the current system: law enforcement agencies would have an incentive at doing their job (unlike today, when more crime = people are less opposed to increase taxes and funding the police), competition would drive the cost of law enforcement down for consumers.

The government, in the end, is just an armed gang as well with a monopoly on violence.

Yes, but....

The trouble with evolutionary explanations of human psychology is that they are "just so stories". Actual tests of these hypotheses are extremely difficult. Sometimes you can get somewhere with experiments on other mammals, but for the most part its high piles of speculation. The little story about the possibly autistic reindeer herdsman is a case in point. Nice anecdote, but the plural of anecdote is not evidence.

Then you mix in speculation about primitive tribes with considerations of supernormal stimulii and possible actual disease or genetic damage, and you wind up with exactly the same morass that the article complains about in current psychiatry.

And even when you have a tested theory it provides very little guidance about how to help afflicted individuals live in modern society.
It seems like it comes down to the content, not the form. If I arrange a scene with a bowl of fruit on my dog's head and take a photograph of it, or a 3D scan of it, I can call it a creative work either way.

If a photographer operating a photo booth at a party can claim copyright on the photos, then someone making 3D scans of party guests as they pose should be able to claim copyright also.

Taking a 3D scan of a random building should be just as copyrightable as taking a photo of the same building. One could argue that neither should be copyrightable, but all the photographers I know would say any photo they take is "creative work", even if it was done with a smartphone camera in auto mode. If simply framing or cropping a photograph is what makes a photo creative, the same concept scales to 3 dimensions just as easily. You have to decide how much of the building to capture, whether to include the parking lot, the nearby power lines, etc.

With a bulk capture of geography, I suppose the photographic equivalent of a 3D scan would be aerial photography or Google's street view or something. Is that copyrightable? I assume Google and other companies act like it is. Someone had to decide the resolution and precision to capture at, at least.
Throughout history, hardly anyone owned the kind of home we got used to in the suburbs. Even when the world population was under 1 billion, most people were itinerant and got housing for being hired help, or were some kind of serfs with a tiny plot.

Well there was the well publicised man-in-the-middle attack by Linkedin.

They repurposed user login details to silently rerouted all the user’s email through their servers for scanning and mining.

I knew many of them were rated to 20 amps in spite of the form factor but I didn't realize they all were. TIL.

In that case I guess the cable that triggered the article in the first place is no more dangerous than (for example) the 8 receptacles in my bedroom, all on the same circuit (15 amp IIRC). It's a complete non-issue.

Edit: Are the plug and cable guaranteed to be able to handle 20 amps though? From the pictures in the article, it appears someone spliced a 20 amp receptacle onto a typical (maybe not even 15 amp?) PC power cord.
They are trying to determine the root cause. Hacing it stowed away somewhere, unrelated to the fire is not an issue. But that will give them the nudge to start investigating 'everything electric that was plugged in'. And do you remember that cheap iphone charger and cable you got from ebay for $1? If the report from Fire Department's investigators point to that very corner of the house where the charger was plugged in..... (fill in the gaps.. the insurance investigator will do the same).

Edit: don't get me started on that 3m cable you bought from AliExpress ;)
Monopolies may happen because of superior technology (or better placement, in short, it's much better for the consumers) or because of politics.
If it's for superior technology, I think the monetary gain is justified. Also, in a world without patents or copyright, everyone is free to reproduce the technology, if they can.

For the market to be manipulated, you would need something that lives outside of market rules, namely politicians who can use violent threats to shape the market to benefit them and their friends.

In both cases, if we get rid of a government and we move law making and law enforcement in the hands of the free market, we end up with a system which is the closest representation of what citizens want.
It may not fair or just according to someone's ideals, but it would be a close reflection of what people wants and it would remove the form of violence which is most commonly perpetrated in the world: state initiated violence.
I think what they meant was that someone left that thing lying around somewhere where random people would find it with no context. You had no clue what it was but took a second to think about it. The next person might just have used it because it seems to fit.

couple thoughts:

1. is this dynamic? your first time setting up the api takes a while as it's processing everything, but what about additional emails? or is every api call that slow? i suppose if it's _not_ slow, that suggests you are caching something on your side, and I wouldn't want you to store my data like that.

2. how will you convince people to give you access to _all_ their emails? maybe it makes sense for this to be a tool people can run locally (helping with the performance issue of [1] as well) and you can charge for that somehow.

3. the api schema generation tool seems like it would be flaky.
I'd argue this shows that you are responding to the punishment, and have complete disregard for the authority (since you don't care to obey the rule when punishment is unlikely).

There is a monetary incentive for the company running online systems such as banks to keep things secure(ish). They are made by mostly technically savvy people and in general are audited properly.

Electronic voting goes to the lowest bidder. They have no incentive to keep things secure and test it properly as that would cost more and cut their middle line. It just needs to work and look secure.

> Booleans, Turing Machines, Bolzmann machines, Markov Chains

As someone with a degree in pure math, I can tell you, we had Turing machines, Boolean networks and Markov chains coming out of our ears. These are not programming concepts; all of these people were mathematicians/physicians who lived before computers even existed. This is just reaffirming the point that mathematicians tend to name things after each other.

> Liskov Substitution Principle

Actually, this is the only instance of a "truly" programming concept named after a person that I know of. And by "truly", I mean that a mathematician does not benefit from knowing this (would probably even write it off as "trivial"). It really is about the art of designing programs. Well, at least it has "substitution" in its name. Not like a Noetherian ring, which is just the opposite of an Artinian ring :D

Licenses belong to law. And ISO is not run by programmers either (for Christ's sake, they have a standard for A CUP OF TEA). This goes to show how much of a polymath a programmer has to be. Reminds me of this fun little rant: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/1311_05-08_mickens.pdf
