This is one subject where Canada must be a bit of a nightmare to code for.

We typically use spaces instead of commas: 1 000 000.00. But if the number is shorter, we'll often use a comma to make it clear: 1,000.00 because numbers like 1 000.01 can look a little strange.

There are lots of us that are happy to use all commas: 1,000,000.00 - we don't really think much of it as long as whatever you do, you do it consistently. We barely notice because we're so used to it.

The reason I added the decimal is that we have French as an official national language. With French numbers, the comma and decimal symbols are swapped: 1.000,00 and 1.000.000,00 which changes everything about the one-liner.
Still seems extremely minor. Just wait. Every other player had to as well.

What is "unused" energy and why is crypto a better use for it than charging a battery or pumping some water up a hill?

> You would therefore have to divide all their problem metrics by 50-60%.

Do you mean the metrics would be doubled or halved?

> Bitcoin e-waste doesn't really result in more machines, it results in the same amount of machines being replaced and doing more.

I don't follow. If hardware is being used for crypto it isn't being used for something else. This must either push up the cost of hardware or simply add more to the total amount in the world.

Hardware has a limited life so crypto must contribute to e-waste. Why is it appropriate to attribute the hardware usage to non-crypto workloads but not crypto? What's the difference?
Singapore is boring, the whole place seems like a plastic copy of whatever the original is. Tokyo has its own culture and vibe and it shows, it is just much more fun. Every day in Tokyo you can discover new things, in Singapore the only thing you discover is another international food franchise. So apart from all the technicalities those are not even comparable places.
I was living in Sydney a couple years ago and frequently found GPS/Google Maps to be a lot less reliable on my phone compared to Canada. It would frequently jump over a street or say I'd taken a turn which I hadn't. I assumed this had something to do with a more dense city, bigger buildings, etc.

Then one day, they moved the official location of the city[0] and, as far as I can tell, the problem went away overnight.

100%. I’ve also noticed libraries branching into other services that fit their mission. The library in Glendale, CA, for example, has a maker space with a publicly accessible 3d printer. Things like that, that are educational, and have public value but a high capital cost of entry for individuals, are a great fit for libraries. There are even libraries where you can check out hand tools and the like.

That would be fraud. As a recent immigrant myself one of my fears is that the high-trust culture that makes society work where I am now will devolve into a low-trust one that will make this place more like the third-world country I escaped from.
If you're a good programmer consider moving to Sweden for these reasons:

Can we stop with the “access to copies for which the publisher is being paid less per access kills markets” shtick already?

It’s been twenty plus years since Napster and the only sourced data I’ve seen, that isn’t simply publishers’ hypothetical handwringing, says that exposure creates desire and increases the size of the purchase market over a several year span. Tech dirt had a few stories, iirc.
“the study does not include a comparison group of people who did not lose their sense of smell and/or taste.”

The headline is horrifically misleading. Media outlets continue to increasingly build narratives of half truths to the point that it’s disgusting. Now with the China Virus we have rampant fear mongering.

Sometimes I wish the news would just give the news. But...then again, it would likely make them go broke..
If support is a cost center, may as well make it a moat too.
He specifically said what he does won’t change the stock price by a cent, so he is presumably talking about his individual contribution, not the aggregate one. Which is his point —- giving him RSU’s won’t allow him to capture the value of going above and beyond, because even as you acknowledge yourself, his going above and beyond won’t move the share price by even a penny.

It's also about the lack of universal healthcare. It's a private enterprise that does not even aim to provide universal (as in "for everyone") health services.
Do you have a reference for that?

My previous experience working at a library and a brief web search leads me to believe 26 checkouts is significantly above average for a hardback lifespan.
We can use depository receipts and similar strategies to keep trading 24/7. But the markets would probably be a lot more efficient if they were open all the time. That’s not to say that we (traders) would necessarily make much more money off them that way. We’d probably make less, actually, because it would simplify/remove the kind of arbitrage market opens/closes let us do.
Thanks for the suggestion. I might put a small 3d globe in with a marker.

I disagree. I think the key point was that most Indians don't even know what they're doing is immoral. And the post spends majority of its space explaining why this problem is kind of unique to India.
When the EU was formed (originally as the European Common Market), it was an agreement between entirely sovereign nations. No federal government, no trans-national legal frameworks.

The US has essentially never existed in this form. From the moment of its founding, it has been a federal, democratic republic.

Before the EEC/EU, investing across Europe was much more difficult, and labor migration was limited to "high skilled" workers. There have never been any such limitations in the US.

One fun variant of this story is: A tree is made of CO2 from air, water and minerals from the ground, and sunlight. If that wood is burned in a campfire, you get back CO2 in air, and water as vapor, and minerals as ash, and (some of) the sunlight as redder light and heat.

A related common misconception is to forget that plants, like us and most life, burn carbohydrates to CO2. Rainforest trees for instance, are only net consumers of CO2 for a couple of hours around noon.

I'd like to see science education content that weaves stories like this into a coherent tapestry. A rough-quantitative tapestry. Enabling transferable understanding. But we're a long long way from that. If anyone knows of a community pushing in that direction, I'd love to hear of it.
Hey cool! I'm one of the authors of the papers this article is based on. Very surreal to see it being discussed by strangers. I should probably try to resist the temptation to respond to every single comment in this thread...

> Somehow Indian parents will become self sufficient, so that children are free to do and discover what they actually want.

This bit near the bottom (under "improbable futures") really struck me as necessary, and not just an Indian problem. The pressure to be generally successful and support their immediate family is hard enough on anyone, but adding onto that the pressure to be able to care for your parents when they're old is even worse.

I'm not saying people shouldn't care for their parents, or that people shouldn't live in multi-generational households, but humanity really needs to figure out how to care for our older members without requiring huge sacrifices from their children. Some countries have mostly figured this out with strong social safety nets, but many... have not. And beyond that, we shouldn't have to rely on a social safety net. Increasing income inequality makes it harder and harder for people to build enough wealth during their lives so they can retire comfortable, or even at all.
This just seems like a bizarre worry to me. I wonder whether these kinds of lending schemes might not have kept piracy at bay when it comes to digital books. Obviously piracy exists, but it appears to be much less common than in other forms of media. Worrying about people legally borrowing books seems like a much smaller worry.
Nice burn. Indeed - the existence of private for profit healthcare creates incentives for sabotaging universal healthcare.

This is one of those cases where adding extraneous information confuse the illustration. It took me 2-3 times through before I figured out that color was completely irrelevant.
I’ll duplicate a comment I made on another thread today.

This has less to do with India, and more about what happens when there’s no prior culture of open source, to balance against the willingness to “hustle”. The fact that a lot of these PRs might originate in India is only relevant insofar as there are a lot of people willing to hustle, and don’t have much open source experience to understand the culture and the role played by maintainers. Chances are that they are oblivious to what happens on the other side of the table, and open source projects are abstract entities (which might as well be run by Github, or some other bureaucracy!) A useful reminder that the celebrated “hustle” is susceptible to the unintended consequences of Goodhart’s law.

If this was Sean Parker with Napster or Zuck with early Facebook, we’d be celebrating their initiative.

For all those who advocate for growth hacking techniques, or annoying ads, this is exactly how scummy most such techniques / dark patterns feel to users. I don’t think that is geographically localized in any way.

As for comments trying to characterize “Indian culture”, it’s really complicated! With a population of ~1.4B people, you’ll easily get a LOT of examples for any kind of behavior (including stark polar opposites, sometimes competed to optimality). The same people writing such articles will often also turn around and write articles about the lack of entrepreneurial hustle in India and the need for more jugaad :smh:
I think this is a good point. I'll admit that I'm naive about web and security (not my area). Are multiple password resets within a small time frame common? I would not expect this to be common, but user behavior has often defied my expectation. If it is uncommon I think you could create a correlation and get an estimate, if it is common then I completely agree that it would be lost in the noise.

And yeah I agree that this type of analysis wouldn't help with dormant accounts and also does require them to log the user out on their phone (otherwise why issue another reset?). But both these could be captured. This is probably way too much analysis for such an attack and over engineering the issue, but hey that's what we all do, right? haha

Back when I reported a Grindr security flaw (2016), I couldn't find them on any of the bounty sites, security@grindr.com bounced, and support failed to route it correctly.

Reaching out to their CTO, who I found on LinkedIn, and firstname.lastname@grindr.com got a reply in 8 minutes.

Sad to see they still haven't upped their security game.

Second piece of heavy click bait on the homepage of HN today.

Someone should do a study on morals vs web traffic.

I think tortious interference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortious_interference) requires having the specific intention of causing the violation to occur. Not just that one party happened to be motivated to break contract because of something you did but rather that your actions were motivated by specifically trying to get them to break the contract in and of itself.
Some of these TVs automatically connect to any open wireless network in the area, so that isn’t always an option
Just to be pedantic: You can never smell the alcohol (ethanol) in any alcoholic drink. It's a tasteless and odourless chemical. What you taste or smell are the congeners, which are other organic molecules that are the byproducts of fermentation. In the case of whisky, you also have the additional flavour and odour chemicals leached from wood barrels.

You're basically smelling "charred wood extract" when smelling Whiskey.
Yes... it was unclear before this particular research study.

> The MRI scans found changes to participants' brains that appeared to be specifically associated with their alcohol use during these celebrations. The more that participants drank, the more atrophy was detectable in their posterior corpus callosum, notwithstanding their alcohol and cannabis use histories. The 17 participants who had experienced a blackout showed greater loss of volume in this brain region than those who did not.
I love the runtime analysis of Spaghetti sort:

> Preparing the n rods of spaghetti takes linear time. Lowering the rods on the table takes constant time, O(1). This is possible because the hand, the spaghetti rods and the table work as a fully parallel computing device. There are then n rods to remove so, assuming each contact-and-removal operation takes constant time, the worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is O(n).
tl;dr because of population, people step on each other to feel 'successful' and get approved by their family/peers.

unfortunately this happens in many places if not all. (eg same cr*p applies here in Turkey, if you're male and not a doctor or engineer or government employee, basically seen as failure)

it is apperantly much more visible/causing problem because of lack of resources, strict cultural values as well as driven by high population
Not that I expected different from a "l337" Arch user, but "Windows plebs" have had "chocolatey" and the Windows Store for a while now...

I don't think the developer designed it to work that way either, but something like this only happens when the person creating it, or the people touching it after either don't know how important this interaction flow is or don't take it seriously enough.

Whatever API this is using, there's zero reason to show any information about the request other than "we didn't die, so it should succeed". Beyond even showing it, there's zero reason for a password reset API to respond to the request with the secret at all. If it needs to return anything identifying about the request, it should be some identifier that is NOT the secret, which can be used to pull up general info about the request later if needed (time generated, whether it was used, is it expired, etc). Extra points if the access credentials to any back-end API the request page uses can't even request the secret key from a request.

A sane API makes it very hard for something like this to happen. Often that takes an inversion of thinking, so instead of making an API as useful as possible and return as much data as efficiently as possible, you make to make it as secure as possible, which means returning as little data as possible to satisfy the specific needs of the use case, and different locked down credentials for specific use cases.

Conservation of matter is as exact a law as they come in chemistry, let alone biology. The part of mass lost as heat doesn't even match up one part in a billionth. As soon as it becomes relevant, you're not doing chemistry anymore, you're doing physics.

I know it's not "technically" correct, but when doing science, you use the laws applicable to whatever field you're working in.

I've gotten started with Pelican recently, and so far so good. Looks it has enough flexibility to do what I can reasonably conceive of wanting to do.

However, its documentation is unfortunately weak for someone coming into it fresh. It jumps into writing content without first walking you through concepts, terminology, and how inputs ultimately get turned into outputs. This is too bad, since it seems like a really nice piece of software, and the kind of issue that might drive away new users.

Even the example link provided to the Internals section is at the wrong level of abstraction for a new user uninterested in the internals to understand the set of concepts they need to grasp to generate a whole site.
It seems to be. I had to white list one or two domains to make it all work again. In retrospect, that may have been for a free service they since broke so maybe I should rip those out too.
Increased volume of password resets would indeed suggest an attack, though it can also be explained by benign reasons (redesign of the app, marketing campaign prompting previous users to log back in, news exposure, the pandemic increasing loneliness and making more people use dating apps, etc).

However the biggest risk here is that small, targeted attacks distributed over time (where a single attacker only targets a handful of accounts) wouldn't stand out in the overall statistics.

In case of this incident, small-scale attacks (where a single person targets a single account of someone they don't like) are actually more likely which is why them saying they do not believe this was exploited while being completely unable to detect these attacks is so misleading and lures people into a false sense of security.
I've done it three times, and the last time I went outside while high (to acquire a donut) when I thought I was coming down from the trip (as soon as I stepped outside I that wasn't the case) and it was really eye-opening for me.

It was on the edge of comfort, I was paranoid people would notice I was high, because I realized that I didn't have all the mental and emotional barriers we normally put up when we interact with the outside world.

It truly felt like there was way less stuff between the outside world and my consciousness making all sensations and feelings way more intense and beautiful, but it also gave me an acute feeling of fragility, like I was very breakable because I was so 'open'.

I want to do it again when I'm less stressed, but I think I will take a slightly lower dose next time.
The male labor force participation rate grew from 83% to 86%. So although the increase was greater for women (from 57% to 72%), that hasn't reduced male employment.
