Well, thank God for that, because with that kind of authoritative observation we can close the books on this one permanently. Dodged a bullet there, didn’t we? Pitchforks down, everyone, ‘mrits has this one in hand.

This is an extremely well-known phenomenon. This is the third time I’ve heard of it happening to an OG. It’s pretty common knowledge that the right teams inside Instagram look the other way; what’s a user going to do, sue? People are making money.

I’m sure your roommate who works on Tupperware or whatever wouldn’t know a thing about it, but Facebook is also roughly the size of Romania, so perhaps your front row seat to the inner workings of an organization that also legally compels your roommate to not tell you things isn’t as end all as you’d assume.

Hint: I work at Facebook.

Lol, that's funny coming from a commentor on THIS site! This is the first comment I've made here in a longtime, because anything that goes against the hivemind here gets downvoted to Oblivion.
This happened a while back to Brian Hoff’s wife, he was able to eventually get it back: https://medium.com/@behoff/they-say-nothing-will-change-5c54...
I think you should have mentioned the single most important aspect of CBT: what you do can (and almost certainly will) affect how you feel. Since changing what you do tends to be easier than (just) changing how you feel, CBT encourages people to change their behaviors as a pathway to feeling better.
Here's what you can do to respond to the letter: https://www.cointracker.io/blog/irs-crypto-tax-letter-guide/
There was a time when the creation of a new TLD was unthinkable, so it seemed safe to use a domain syntax internally that was never going to become a public TLD. Then the TLD money grab happened and what was assumed to be safely isolated wilderness was sold out from under everyone.

I work at FB and I assure you if an FB employee is involved they'll be fired right away and there'll be a lot records so they cannot escape.
Because there's the expectation that regulated water systems are actually effective enough that we can use their output safely, while the licorice case is largely a case of self-induced tragedy.

Admittedly, there is a case to be made the licorice does have a political component in that we know it can be deadly, but do not mark it on the package. In my calculus though, water safety and fitness for use of municipal water output scores a lot higher on the public concern/public health meter than labelling one particular confectionary treat.

Both can reasonably be accommodated mind, but I'd be far more open to putting force of public mandate behind the one rather than the other.
But these companies don't want to pay Tesla for the credits, so if anything good came from it, is that Tesla pushed the rest of the companies to accelerate EV production. For instance, I don't think VW would come with the ID family in 2020 if Tesla didn't exist. Eventually, with such a competitive market it would happen, but I think Tesla accelerated the thing at least a couple of years in advance.
The victim is a real person with a PhD thesis that anyone can read.

Why would someone jeopardize his reputation by using his real name on some kind of staging of a fake account swap? I kindly disagree with your second sentence.
Most managed offerings run on virtual machines where performance is 1/10th of what you'd get on a bare-metal machine rented for the same cost. As an example, I'm currently working on a project where we have an Azure managed Postgres DB for a staging environment. It costs ~50$/month and is an order of magnitude slower than my entry-level MacBook. That amount of money would give you fast NVME storage, 8 core dedicated CPU (none of this cloud "vCPU" bullshit) and 64GB of RAM on bare-metal: https://www.soyoustart.com/en/offers/2009sys23.xml
There is absolutely a legal theory, and that is fraud. If you claim to be someone you are not, and someone relies on your false claim to their detriment, you are liable.
Right, and operator from Zalando https://github.com/zalando/postgres-operator (fresh good comparison, in Russian, but google translate should work well on such texnical texts https://habr.com/ru/company/flant/blog/520616/).

All of them look interesting and developing rapidly.
I would be curious to know what the issue was, so that I can fix it. I have used it with both ESP8266 and ESP32, and do not know of any problems.
Yeah, but then you use that and some fool somewhere in the pipeline has decided it's an optimization to the spec to not deliver to those addresses and so you can't even test if your email sending is working.
Legacy support and continued backwards compatibility is one of the biggest strengths of Windows. I can still run weird games I made 15-20 years ago without issue. As a regular users of both MacOS and Windows, I don't agree that MacOS feels more stable, recently it's felt less stable than Windows, but obviously that's anecdotal and depends on usage.
Renovate every 20 years? There are plenty of wood houses that are hundreds of years old and have had minimal renovation to the wood frame.

Enough carpentry and building skills to be able to build decks, porches, sheds, renovate rooms in your house, etc. If you're a homeowner and can improve your home with little help from contractors, you will be able to affordably increase the value of your house immensely, as well as the quality of your home life and that of your family. The return on investment can be crazy -- imagine being able to take a couple weeks off work for a project and increasing the value of your house by ~10% during that time.
Seconded, and I don't have much of an accent at all (especially if I'm focusing on it). Even without that, east- and west-coast natives hear I'm from Texas and jump to the "stupid redneck" thing.
I wonder if paying out the dividend on a weekly or monthly interval might help with this some degree. Only getting paid at the end of the year tax refund style feels a lot more like a bonus than a reliable paycheck.
i'm kinda in the same spot.

I have "${lastname}${firstname}@gmail.com" and i routinely get emails directed to "${lastname}.${firstname}@gmail.com" (notice the dot in the middle).

This was no big deal for me. But I received important documents (sometimes even legal document) that were not directed to me, at all. They were meant to be delivered to people in other areas of the country.

This is because Google has moronically and unilaterally decided that the dots are not meaningful and that they are smart enough to understand who is the actual recipient of an email (spoiler: they are not).

This also means that somebody else is also getting mail directed to me. This is super scary and made me distrust gmail as an email provider.

Nowadays I keep my gmail account for my android phone only.

But knowing I cannot trust the email address I am not confident to, for example, start using Google Cloud Platform with my private account.
I understand your point, that's why I tried to say that even a budget "evened out" over the study itself could be interesting to look at.

There are fixed costs in the development of the system but there are running costs (owning or renting the servers, improving the ML and the system at all points, gathering more data, curating, maintenance of the data, etc). I don't think anyone reasonably believes that we can just build a box of truth and that nobody need be involved in that project ongoing afterwards (even just to ensure future browser compatibility, security upgrades, system outages, bias in data gathering, etc).

What I would be interested in seeing is what the very same money put towards such a project would do for a system that desperately needs much more influx of money towards structural pillars like mental health, housing, legal counsel, etc.

Since there's seemingly no A/B testing (with what I mentioned), no double-blind testing (which would test for the impact on the judges), or any form of comparative testing really, it's pretty hard to conclude a lot of things about this project. We surely wouldn't go too quickly to conclusions of usefulness if the subjects of the study were closer to us (i.e. if they weren't already assumed to have done something wrong to be in that situation).

--

As for the bad outcomes, I wasn't so much talking at the system at the current instant, but more about the feedback loop this creates: suppose the rating is biased against a community of people such that their measured score is lower than their actual likelihood to show up, then the judge is less likely to give them a chance to be out, which then reinforces the social bias against the category of people and drives what was an initial bias to be a systemic issue.

My masters is in Control Theory so I tend to see systems, feedback loops, and stability of trajectories everywhere, I guess.
> Not to be That Guy, but you should give Rust a try if you haven't yet. You may not like it, but it will make writing that style of code feel more like Python, often.

I've never used Rust but I was a (low-confidence) big fan the moment I saw it, and everything I've seen since has only strengthened this impression. I don't exactly _love_ C++ and all its janky weirdness, and Rust seems like it improves ergonomics while allowing even more powerful control over memory and type safety.

Unfortunately, there are a couple of computer science subspecialties that I prioritize when looking for roles, so I lose some degrees of freedom in the ability to pick jobs or side projects that would expose me to Rust.
I was responding to one pedant, I can't satisfy another pedant with the same choice of words.

Yes, you may have the option of changing managers. You may have other options. Get creative.
Assaying vitamin D levels doesn’t necessarily mean that Vitamin D levels are the primary effector, though. Maybe I’m missing some details from the actual study, but showing that mortality risk is higher with a deficiency could support either of these:

1) Vitamin D deficiency causes increased mortality

2) Whatever causes increased mortality also changes or is correlated with Vitamin D levels
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, however we were not talking about verboseness vs terseness though.

You can make anything terse with stringy types and you indeed seem to favour that, however, this was about how types change readability and brittleness. This is all easier to read by people who do not know what request() does => request is not a good example, but it still stands. In your case, you have no case what $method or $url are supposed to be; you can do;

$body = Http:request('rabbit', 'cracker')['body'];

I assume something in Symfony catches that, but I cannot see it from the signature at all, and the validation error is, in my opinion (obviously) in the wrong place; it should be at the call site because that's where you are creating the erroneous input so that's where I want to be lead to.
If we wanted to let the market decide what the right transportation method for most people is, we need to stop subsidizing roads.

the cost of infrastructure is a huge part of the cost of personal vehicle transport. if the cost of using it was relative to the strain your chosen transportation type put on that infrastructure, i have no doubt that we'd see a swing to smaller vehicles.
While I mostly agree with you, some people can truly smell foul, to the point where I gag. But I suspect that's mostly a case of them not washing at all.
A friend of mine in Greece owns the null.gr domain. He's gotten a ton of automated email from misconfigured systems over the years, some of them with serious security implications :)
mDNS is actually pretty nice on controlled networks, so if you want .local use mDNS.
Another option is

Does this utility accept directories as parameters? Couldn't see an example in the readme and the screenshot only shows the full-screen disk view.

I loved my HP48GX back in the day. I wrote a bunch of tools for it (25 years ago!), including an emulator for that printer:

The HP48 font is there in the zip package as well if anyone wants to use it for any reason.
It also hasn't changed much in 15 years. Now that could be (and probably is) a deliberate decision. But there are more than enough cases of projects that haven't changed because they can't...they've painted themselves into a corner, and every time they try to change something, something else breaks.

I've felt this way with Python and Ruby and Node projects (it is a major complaint in the RoR community), but have never felt that way with Scala, Java, C#, F#, Rust, or OCaml. Most of the time, when I need to make a change, I just change it, iteratively eliminate any type errors, and once the type errors are gone, the tests magically pass too.
I somehow did not ferret out from the Forbes article: Is this correlated or causal?
If I may summarize the article: "China tried to trick the world into enacting the only known effective strategy against the pandemic."
Given time any work place will act to "optimize" what they get out of employees. Trucking is the perfect example. While on the road literally every inch of movement is tracked and every second accounted for. Also a good example because this workforce is extremely replaceable so new hires have little leverage to reject this type of surveillance.

The only thing anyone can do to avoid this encroachment is to refuse to work for companies that monitor and unfortunately most workers in the world do not have the luxury to choose where they work.
I posted this link on HN because I am hosting a Postgres instance at our HPC cluster for some of our users storing genomic data in it for analysis. I’d like to learn more about managing it. So far, my experience has been that I can either dip my toe in admin details and have it running and choose to dive deeper as needed. It has been a pleasant experience operating a Postgres cluster. Production experience is always a different thing.
Ah, I'd assumed a typo; thanks! However, I can't tell if/how much my concerns hold:

> You don't need to replace the Python interpreter, run a separate compilation step, or even have a C/C++ compiler installed. Just apply one of the Numba decorators to your Python function, and Numba does the rest.

(Emphasis mine)

Also, I can't tell whether https://numba.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/5minguide.html#w... implies that some code won't work, or won't get faster?
That’s a bug with your email client then. Marking as Spam should be the same as a Block plus a Spam Report.

Whether they keep sending you email or not, you should never see a message from the same address again.

A decent client would give you the option to block the whole domain.
Whether you call it an SP or not, Windows 7 rolled back the UI mess of Vista.
Bitcoin Builds a Better World by Protecting 5 Basic Human Rights
There was a post here a few weeks ago reminding us of the dangers of this approach. I don't have the link but the essence is here:

After a process gets automated, people forget the details of how to do the work manually. Now, when the automation breaks (and it will break at some point. It takes a huge amount of work to make these things failsafe and scripting doesn't really encourage robustness) -- no one remembers the details and fixing the issue is more difficult and requires specialized knowledge that is no longer common in the organization.
Ah, I'd assumed that was a typo
It's a little difference with Facebook and Google, because unlike the other companies you mentioned, users are not the customers of Facebook and Google -- advertisers are. There is very little incentive to make their users happy when their users are not paying for the service.
Where I live, the water utility sells water for about $5.00/thousand gallons (or about $1.30/thousand liters, if you prefer).

Given that the utility stays in business, that is enough to cover the costs of the well, the pumps, the water treatment, and the vast network of pipes required to get it to my house.

So, yeah, pretty abundant.
> fail to deliver the work we commit to

It might be an unreasonable amount of work to deal with. Is it actually a team decision the amount of work that gets set for the sprint, or is it a senior's best guess?

It's also a very strange & distracting time to be alive, it's reeking havok with my mental health, it must be for other people as well.
And yet, that rule is stupid. But your logic instagram could just give @kyliejenner to some random person, and you think she would have no recourse? You think it would be acceptable for someone at instagram to do Kylie Jenner a personal favor and give her `@kylie`, and the person who currently has it should have no recourse? Kylie is just an example person with a larger following; I'm not implying that this happened, is happening, or she is in any way involved in this practice.

People like to make the claim that "a handle or username has no value" which is just insane. If it had no value, people wouldn't try to steal them.

If the first line of a bank ToS was "you can lose your account at any time for any reason", would you think that is acceptable? No, because money _obviously has value_. Usernames have value, and in some cases, usernames have more value than many people's bank accounts.

"you can lose your account at any time for any reason" is just an excuse to avoid any concept of _public_ user support.
Users here will believe any conspiracy theory so that's not really a high bar. I'm serious. There was that massive 2000 comment thread the other month about some big company doing something evil and then it turned out they didn't do it.

Everyone who was right and informed in the original thread was greyed out by users here.
Great news! Congrats (and thank you) to the team!

Is there any chance for Pypy to work with Numba, especially with HPy coming? Yes, they're both JIT compilers, but I feel like the kind of optimizations they do are complementary rather than redundant. I want fast business logic with fast algorithmic code in the hot parts :)
How to succeed as a programmer at an early stage startup
No it doesn't if you make well reasoned arguments.
Understanding yourself in different dimensions would be at the top of my list. It takes a lifetime to do it well though.

Learn to cook and prepare food, especially your favorite foods. Then you can make better decisions when buying packaged food, when eating out and also not be dependent on someone or some establishment for something as basic as food (of course, you can take this further and get into gardening and such, but just start with cooking from ingredients you can buy).

Listen to people without interrupting and trying to solve their problems. Listening is a gift to others and to yourself.

Learn to write better, since we (the readers and writers here) depend on written communication a lot more than people from the last century and before.

Learn to manage expenses, followed by learning to manage investments (start by understanding the power of compounding).

IMO, playing an instrument and learning a sport are hobbies, not necessarily life skills.
Did you consider looking at the other 1000s of results returned by Google?
great. So what do we do, if there's no more place to escape to?
I myself prefer option two, but if you were to change the supposition to: assume you have a chance to be born into a society at random but you don’t know who you will be, which would you pick?

Then option 1 looks a little appealing as a way to reduce risk (though I get that option 2 has a better expected value).

More important than the median is the floor imo.
Sometimes the HN support attention army is the only way to draw attention to issues that should be addressed anyways.
I’ve also had a bad experience with Cloudflare’s sales team. I was testing out their workers platform very shortly after its initial release when I got an email from a guy at Cloudflare claiming to be looking for user feedback on workers. I agreed to talk to him and he continued to pretend it wasn’t a sales call.

The minute the call started it was clear he didn’t want to hear anything I had to say about workers and began pressing me to tell him where I worked. I told him and the conversation immediately turned into “what can I do to get you guys a contract for workers?”

The whole interaction was unsettling for me. Seems like a pretty sleezy sales tactic.
Your comment would be much better with out the needless antagonisic first sentence.

(In part) Because Tesla told investors in a November 2013 official filing: "For additional information, please follow Elon Musk’s and Tesla’s Twitter accounts: twitter.com/elonmusk and twitter.com/TeslaMotors" [0]

Papertrail doesn't have to exist in public as far as I know - and mostly relevant for things they probably should be very careful about tweeting about anyways (yes, I know, "everything is securities fraud", but that's a key point), which is why Musks tweets you reference elsewhere became relevant: Since he's not supposed to publish financially relevant things in non-official channels first but he kept doing it, Tesla declared his Twitter as an official channel for notifications.
I'm thinking even with 2fa there can be a way of ask for support to reset your password, that's probably what happened

Because OF COURSE people set 2fa without getting the recovery codes or using sms (why is that even an option I don't get it)

Edit: some ideas here from a phishing expert https://twitter.com/RachelTobac/status/1310264189861019649
In most other industries there is actual competition so companies benefit by providing exceptional customer service. Due to the winner takes all network effects of social media platforms they can get away with treating individuals poorly since there are not real alternatives. If Instagram was separated from Facebook then both would have an incentive to improve.
This isn't easy, but you can change how you think about things - frame the thoughts in a different way or change the subject. You could approach it from the perspective of curiosity or devil's advocate (not saying to change your convictions, just the thought process). Or try to jump to a tangentially related topic, like "how does green tech product 'X' work?", using 'X' as delivery drones, Tesla autopilot, etc.

The thing that I do in many situations/topic, especially ones the scope of which you are thinking about, is to accept the fact that you are already screwed. Do what you know you have to do, but don't overthink it. Acceptance of the situation and that you are screwed should lead you to appreciate the few times when you aren't being screwed.

Accept the fact that you are already dead so that you can truly start living. (not condoning suicide, but rather the idea that everyone dies, so don't let the negative thoughts ruin your life)
A lot of people will read this and immediately put themselves on huge doses of vit D thinking they'll be immune - rather than an deficiency increases mortality
Sure, type inference isn't always better, but it's usually clearer — I almost always already know the type of the thing, so explicit types are just noise — and languages with inference still let you write

let me: Person = something.getOwner();

so you still have the freedom to write the type explicitly.
On the east coast I’ve lived in plenty of wood houses that were built in the mid 1900s and just renovated every few decades. My last rental was even originally built in 1910. Well built wood frames can last for a long time.

My point was whether Facebook itself committed a crime and whether the account holder had any recourse against Facebook. To me it doesn't look like it - the username remains the property of FB and they are free to do anything they want with it.
