I remember that long time ago I thought that using Google account to authenticate in other services is nice because, hey, I don't need to remember some many passwords. Luckily after so time I decided that it may not be such a good idea ;).

Somehow related - long, long time ago in one of Google services I've used an account bound to my 'external' email that I've been using actively back then. Just few days ago I had a need to login to this service. I know my login (and I still have access to those e-mail), I know my password, but since I haven't used that account for a few years Google wants to send me a verification code on some phone number. Even that the last 2 digits displayed by Google on the verification screen match my phone number apparently I've made a mistake back then and provided a wrong phone number. There is a zero possibility to contact a human person at Google support and their docs in general provide a gentle 'fuck off'. I understand (somewhat...) the scale they operate at, security concerns and hey, I'm not a customer really here. Still it is rather infuriating that I cannot do anything. Fortunately the account and that service is not that important... :/

I've started to untangle myself from Google services some time ago and this incident will only accelerate this. Unfortunately - in general - our dependency on digital services will only increase anyway. With so many services providing some kind of 'free' tiers and all the effort needed to backup your stuff spread across so many accounts it will only get worse.
Syncing contacts is really easy -- just use a different CalDAV server. Your own, Fastmail, whatever.
Unless the disk is stored offsite then better install him some simple automated backup anyway. I keep such in case of theft or fire, hope it is never needed.
I picked up an older Brother printer, laser, on CL recenlty and connected it to a pi zero 2 with CUPS.

Then I had to find, download, compile an implement a third party driver (that doesn't have my exact model).

It works and it's mostly on Brother for not having easy ARM/Linux drivers but still a pain. I wish I'd looked before picking up this specific model printer as I could have gone fora used Dell laser too.
There also a saying that "Anybody can build a bridge that stands up, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands up". The 2,000 year old aqueducts were massively overbuilt, not because they wanted them to stay up forever but because they didn't know how to make them stand up for 20 years without building in a factor of 100 safety margin.

Our aqueducts won't last 2,000 years, but we built them for a fraction of the cost. They'll fall down in 100 years, but we'll rebuild them with something even stronger and even cheaper.
I thought that was Fedora’s role...
Some people care about more than just money. Not trying to brag, but I did get an offer from a FAANG company which I turned down, suspecting that I wouldn't be as happy there.

Personally ethics play a big role in my happiness, but I acknowledge and appreciate that being able to chose is a rare privilege.

EDIT: Grammar
It took 6 months for Facebook to get to an appeal of mine to unban a page. I was happy it was unbanned, but the ticket said "1-2 business weeks" in the turn around...I was never contacted for an entire 6 months. If that had been a crucial page for me that brought in revenue for me, I'd have been completely screwed. Google is also hard to get a hold of for anything unless you're a partner.
To be honest, I don't understand this. Why should someone paying for a product get better support than someone who doesn't? I understand companies which sell plans so that some users can have priority support, but quality should not change according to how much money you give. It's absurd. Everyone should be in the same boat.
I switched to mailbox.org a few years ago. Service has been good and reliable at a good price.
...or maybe the controller watched Ironman last night. Which is more likely?
Doesn’t Opera already do this?
Reminds me of Amazon. After I listed my own book for sale there, the account can no longer go anywhere near any page related to sales of other products, returning a "Not Authorized". To even read about the subject, I have to log out first. My account with twenty years of trust history has been reduced to buy only. Should I abandon it? I'm not sure.
Yes, there will be an API to use the object recognizer with other apps or website. We have pre-made both the iOS and Android app because many users can not or do not have time to create the app.

And yes it will also work with any symbols or diagrams rendered on screen. Almost everything we human can visually recognize will work.
I don't see that claim anywhere in the article you linked.
> I would say closer to 70 million

I want to negotiate, but since you started with such a low number, it won't be worth it.

700 million people only from my country (India) would be a good start if you want to continue.
I did it a few years ago and have been quite happy with the outcome.

I still use a Google account for my Android phone, but my PinePhone should be shipping in a few weeks.

I'm done with Google. Good riddance.
You get a good distribution in 99.99% of the cases. There is no perfect rng. I am sure that pcg and xoroshiro also have deficiencies. The issue of good seedings is quite general.
Why would a well thought out plot be more credible? Is it inconceivable that a crack addict forgets his laptop at a repair store and that the staff recognize him?

If I made up stories they would be mundane and logical to not make people regard it as improbable.
The advertisers that pour budgets into fb aren't suckers. They're highly roi-sensitive and data cognizant.

How do you know? Facebook obviously carries ads from huge brands, but also has a very long tail of smaller businesses and other advertisers. While it's reasonable to assume that whoever is spending a few million here and there on behalf of some major retail enterprise is watching the numbers pretty closely, I see no reason to assume that a thousand small businesses who are spending a few thousand here and there are doing the same. It's also worth noting that several things Facebook has done in the past have prompted reports of Major Brand X pulling $Y million in ad spend, so apparently the people who do have the sophisticated ROI monitoring don't always like what they see.
If you have the space on your device, you can takeout.google.com the photos out of there and them upload to iCloud.
If you are up for it, you could host the videos on a computer on your network and serve them with Plex. Plex has a decent web-app for viewing your catalog. Chromebooks should have no problem with that setup provided they can get on the same network as the server.
I just signed up for this because it looks pretty neat, and installed the chrome extension. Now I can't for the life of me figure out how to get back into the chrome extension settings after having gone through the initial sign up wizard. I'll admit I have a head cold so maybe I'm just dumb today, but how do I get back to the settings for how the extension itself works?
I use a more privacy-focused email provider, their lowest tier
costs 1 Euro/month and is enough for me, which means I still have near
free email with calendar sync.

I don't upload any photos or other files anymore, though. The
problem is that you can never fully trust those cloud providers
to keep the data safe, so you need other backups anyways. I was
thinking about using a more trustworthy service for off-site
backups though.
> people stop using your service.

Well the only competitor they have is Indeed, and Indeed belongs to the Recruit Holdings Group, like Glassdoor ;)
This article claims 1.8 billion users (though some people have more than one account):

Multi-year mostly-satisfied Protonmail user and ... can confirm this.

My gold standard is mutt with its powerful and fast search filters (gmail is a serious downgrade).

Protonmail's lack of search is crippling.

Email export ... I don't even want to think about.
make gdpr request to download all your data and photos?
I’ve been using Protonmail for years, with many tens of thousands of emails, and this does not match my experience at all. It is far, far easier for me to find old emails sent to my Protonmail account than to my old Gmail account, which seems to randomly decide that some emails shouldn’t be searchable.

With a paid account it is trivial to export your emails as well:
https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/export-import-...
It’s probably closer to 70M but that’s probably absurdly off too. I bet there’s 70M people in the US alone who use Google services for valuable information. GMail alone is massive.
1.) Most data scientists are not good enough at math to take an existing model and use it for a different purpose. Usually there needs to a model whos mathematical properties match almost exactly to their needs (this is usually the case).

2.) The data is bad
> Driverless cars are going to be much better that driverful cars in cities since they follow the rules and behave predictably

But on the other hand, city environment is very unpredictable and lots of other actors there don't follow the rules. It'll be great in long term, but transition will be really hard.
The question I think needs to be answered is how we can move the market forces to move away from such harmful practices? I think this is a symptom of much larger geopolitical and economic issues.
20,000 core-hours is, what, a couple hundred bucks?
Yes, absolutely correct.

If the marketplace controlled the interstate highway system, every on and off ramp would have a toll booth --- not to mention that the roadways would likely receive minimum upkeep.

Some things are simply unworkable under the "free market" and transportation is one of these --- but software is not.
I use my own domain and gmail for phone access, but I download all my emails to Outlook via imap. I have about 20GB of emails in outlook (my entire life's emails basically) which are instantly searchable.
> _Desktop_ Linux is absoultely not under attack whatsoever.

Is that actually true? For example, we know NSA targets sysadmins and sysadmins use desktop Linux at much higher rates than the general public.

Relatively few people use desktop Linux, but those who do may generally be more attractive targets.
> which its billion-dollar shepherd assumes is infallible.

I think the "cattle, not pets" implications haven't quite sunken in yet.
Stragglers get turned into mutton.
You could break it into sections connected by liquid nitrogen superconductors, or maybe extremely heavy gauge copper ones.
I'd call that a walk in the park if security is concerned.

I agree 100%. Used ProtonMail for a while and this is an issue that's made me think about looking to migrate elsewhere. Tutanota had similar problems when I messed around with it last year. It is hard to find one with good UI, my needed functions, while still having a solid security reputation.
Is there any US-based company, which offers a paid email service, and great customer support?
if you pay does it mean they will not kidnap your account like this? I think not. amazon does tend to have functional customer support though
Is GDP really that far down? (and will it stay down without a stimulus package?) I'm not convinced the market really needs a recovery. Sure the majority of people need it but I'm not sure that has much of an effect on production, especially if cost of living is going to go down due to the bottom dropping out of the real estate market.
I like having easy access to chat with a real person, but I hate the icons overlaying the content, especially with an even larger tooltip. It directly interferes with my engagement with the content. Why not make it part of the site navigation instead, such as next to login on the web page?

I'm quite curious about the URL service when deploying the server onto Kubernetes. How is the public `waypoint.run` able to access deployments in a Kubernetes cluster? I know it uses Horizon. But, are the requests somehow proxied through the deployed Waypoint server?
I remember my buddy using his gmail account as an SMTP server and spammed people with it then got locked out of Google and they cited this as violation of their terms.
WFH is how everyone worked pre-industrialization. You were hunting or eventually farming near your clan/family.

One of my favorite pieces of trivia is how social greetings changed post-industrialization.

Now when you meet people you ask: “What do you do?” which implies a utilitarian view of ‘what is your role in the economy’

Pre-industrialization, one would ask: “Who are you?” e.g. where is your family from, how are you related, who do you know, where do you live, etc.
>I think virtual machines are the best way to keep old software around.

You're not wrong. However I think that the appeal of ReactOS (in part, and if it was more stable) is that it's currently updated and (in theory) can be secured against modern threats; so you'd be able to put it on a network -which would be masochistic to do with Server 2003 at this point.

I could also be modified to run modern Firefox, chrome, etc which 2003 cannot.
I don't see the difference or where they mention that. Messaging a question you have via a chat box and getting a fast and knowledgable answer is useful and way more convenient than writing an email.

Sounds + pop-up messages are bad though.
Yes, you can extract to local files, but if you just want to keep your data on PM and try to access it, it's a very unpleasant experience.
Me
Not something I wished to but due to the loads of suspect I had towards my spouse chewing on me ,had to contact a professional hacker and told me he could help get all her text messages,calls,WhatsApp conversation,social media accounts as well as getting an exact location .
PLATINUMHACK775 (at gmail) did a very impressive job.Just needed her email and phone number to unearth the truth for me .
And the pcg page has pretty colors
How much time do you have? There are endless amounts conspiracy theories, often times discussed by people who don't have any clue. Society NEEDS a way to cut through the chaff and noise, or eventually it'll collapse in on itself, and someone wins (typically the one with better information.)

> The line should stay at something like inciting violence.

The government line should definitely stay there. But private corporations should be free to push any agenda that they like.
> The only reason these tech companies managed to get so big is because they'll cheat at anything that requires human scale. Support, moderation, taking responsibility for the content they host. They somehow managed to skirt on that just as the web was transitioning from a wild west to a somewhat ingrained, regulated place and the world is worse off for it.

People willingly chose the free option and chose to not pay companies that would have offered support.
It absolutely is, which is why what they're doing looks fine on internal metrics.

Imagine I make a laser bug zapper and install them at every fast food joint in the US. 9999 out of 10000 times it zaps an insect. 1 out of 10000 times the laser fires it blinds a child.

I could wax all I want want about the 99.99% accuracy, the _relative_ accuracy won't mean a thing to the million people blinded by it.

When there is a mix of spambot garbage and human beings that being harmed the right metric isn't the ratio. Blinding a million children wouldn't go from unacceptable to acceptable just because the level of insects swarming around a restaurant increased by a factor of 10. The harm stands alone, and there is a level of harm which could not be justified by any amount of boring spambot influx.
I worked at a startup where we used Google Cloud. Even as a paying customer, when I'd try to talk to their "support" all they would do is try to upsell their consulting partners to answer a question about their own services.
And all of that was caused directly by the UN? Or was more complicated than that, and the UN could do much as the veto powers blocked or delayed things? I'd say it is rather the latter.

There were UN troops in Srebrenica, and their failure is a well covered topic. There are multiple resolutions against Israel, the first from the Suez crisis. Most just get ignored, not the least due to US vetos. The Iraq invasion was a purely US thing that had nothing to do with the UN, some NATO members supported it but not all.

There is a difference between causing disaster, which the UN didn't, and failing to prevent it, which the UN does. Expecting perfect results from one side and no results at all, or close to jone, from the other is just disengnious.
Are void functions not considered functions in functional programming?

I guess in math they're not. Functions have to have a codomain and map some things into it.
Everything is locked away. Happened to a movie director. Lost all of his YouTube, blogger, business email, everything. Never recovered any of it. It was why I switched away from them and will never trust them with anything important / irreplaceable.
Preface: I don't think full WFH will happen after COVID, I think companies will try it and slowly end up reverting back to more of a partial WFH schedule like Microsoft just announced, for a number of reasons.

That being said, I agree with you here. I our current work situation right now is causing a ton of stress and mental health issues, but COVID and our current political climate have a much bigger hand in that than just the WFH part. What WFH looks like right now is not what a 100% WFH lifestyle would look like in a year or two. I've had the ability to WFH when ever I wanted for the past 4 years and I can tell you, my current WFH situation is much more draining that it ever was before.

I think your video game analogy is pretty spot on. There are problems with 100% WFH, but "mass mental health issues" just seems like a boogieman.
Is the uninitialized read example a compiler bug?
`i` in the code is definitely initialized, but the compiler creates a temporary variable, where its initialization is bypassed by the switch jump. Isn't that a code generation issue (specifically where it places the jump label)?
There is a simple three-step process to resolving these recurring problems: (1) Surface the complaint on the front page of Hacker News; (2) Stimulate at least 100 comments on the submission; (3) Wait for someone at Google to sheepishly revert the change, possibly without comment.
Filing a required financial report is not similar to terminating someone's access to their account
Yeah, but welcome the real world where this is pretty much rampant.

Want support for working with AWS? The more you pay the better it gets.
You may have misunderstood. I didn't mean to say the likeliness of it happening to X6S1x6Okd1st is one in seven billion.
Most big cities, if you drive 1-2 hours, you can get to much cheaper housing and that's a pretty doable commute if you only do it every week or two. And for once a quarter, you get on a plane--which is pretty much what my broader team did pre-pandemic.
I had looked into this a while ago, and I forget why, but I thought it was a mismatch; however, looking again at the list of downstream projects, this one at least seems compelling for the use case I described:

https://docs.earthly.dev/examples/monorepo

At least it addresses building the right Docker image--it doesn't seem to address building the broader Kubernetes manifests, but I'll take what I can get at this point.
How would that work on a technical level?

Phone numbers are just sequential numbers, that are assigned to carriers, when consumers transfer numbers the carriers just re-assign ownership via an assignment swap.

An email address by contrast is an undefined/minimally defined identifier in front of an @ and the message is just thrown to the domain to do something with.

Which is to say, mobility is impossible, because there's no cross-vendor standard for the identifier part and even if there was, both parts make up an email address which would send it to the wrong vendor anyway.

It is like having a phone number that ended with a network specific postfix and using it to route at the network level. It would make phone numbers non-transferable too.

On Call Should't Suck: A Guide For Managers
Well I thought there were actually a few places that it was supported in the article, like for example how they permitted an alternative chain of command for the Kroomen, which was considered sacrosanct by the royal navy. You could of course say that they just did that to achieve the best results, but that would be precisely my point. They employed the Kroomen based on what worked best, by the merits of the circumstances and not some arbitrary racism.

Later on, the use of the Kroomen was abandoned, for mostly non-sensical reasons, to which the author surmises was most likely due to the rise of pseudo-scientific race superiority theories. In other words, they no longer employed people in their navy, despite their usefulness, because the merits weren't enough to overcome their bias.

But I do agree with you about the daughter thing.
I just visited the site and was met by a banner stating that trust was central to their product, and so they would never remove bad reviews.

To my mind there must be some confusion here. I believe it's highly unlikely that they'd lie so directly. So something else must be going on, even if it happens to be the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. And even that's unlikely. More digging needed, I think.
Interesting, because I had exactly the opposite experience. My 70,000+ gmail account from 2004 is still easier to find things in than my 10k email account on PM was before I gave up.
River, A Novel News Search App
What I don't understand is the multiples at which WeWork was trading.

I could definitely understand the business model (it's cloud computing for real-estate!) and especially cool for remote/business travelers since from what I understand it was rather easy for a WeWork user to use any of their facilities.
