I'm a blockchain pro and there was a couple month period in 2017 when tons of people I know got SIM swapped including me. The T-Mobile call person kept asking me "Are you sure you didn't go into a store in Detroit and ask for your phone to be changed? They showed an ID!" No, I didn't do that.

Luckily I had 2-factor for everything, but I know some people who lost a lot. SMS is totally broken, use 2FA and hardware key if you can.

The craziest one was two people at another firm were sending each other a lot of money, and sent the address over Telegram. The hacker manipulated the address in the message - they checked after the (failed) transaction and the address sent was different than the address in the message received! I think the most likely cause was that the receiver's computer was rooted and the application itself was manipulated on the device, rather than the message contents changed en-route. This is why I recommend both visual and audio confirmation when sending large amounts.
Mind-Melting Decision Proves a Dialer Can Never Be Too Old to Be an ATDS

You're arguing past GP. It's one thing to be mistaken for subtle or deep reasons and say "this is how science works". It's another to be sloppy and say "this is how science works". I'm not even saying scientists shouldn't ever be sloppy, you should definitely start sloppy and there's also a sense in which if observations are reproducible across sloppy setups it's more robust - but also, maybe one should not take out a headline-grabbing presser based on sloppy or shaky work.

And it's hard to argue that the social structure of contemporary scientific discovery doesn't incentives this sort of sloppiness.

Hey, this is really cool!
I like how the interfaces are exposed to allow folks to build other music tools with it.

I have a project with some similar features, written in Perl: https://github.com/whofferbert/key-mode

Mine has a few other features like progression generators and some tools to show keyboard type instruments as well, but is lacking some of the neat things your tool has, like the pure chord visualizer.

Perhaps when I have some free time, I will try to contribute some progression building logic to your project.
- Plastic pollution has little to do with climate change.

- "5 times more" says nothing about the absolute amount. According to https://www.plasticethics.com/home/2019/3/17/the-countries-p..., 5x more means moving up to be tied with Sri Lanka on the global list. It would take another 5x to match the worst offender.

- Other posts in this thread are pointing out that the headline is misleading in several ways.
To add to jjoonathan's point, I'll share an interesting observation about the Bay Area housing market:

The Bay Area has a number of little-known unincorporated enclaves that are often located within incorporated cities. Places like Devonshire (San Carlos), Emerald Hills (Redwood City), the unincorporated strip of San Carlos Ave (San Jose), Ladera or Los Trancos Woods (Portola Valley), Castro Valley and San Lorenzo (Hayward/Oakland). I've noticed that in today's hot market, houses in those areas consistently go for anything for $0-150K under asking, while houses in the nearby cities go for $150-500K over asking. A typical swing in purchase price for equivalent homes in nearly equivalent locations is about $300K (on prices of about $1.8-2.2M).

The usual real-estate confounders don't apply here because the geographic locations are so similar. The fire danger is roughly equivalent (but high): places like Devonshire and Emerald Hills are inside of 280, and right next door to equally flammable but more expensive houses in Belmont, San Carlos, and Redwood City. Commute times are basically identical, if anything a little shorter. There's less regulation for building, but not much more additional supply of land since these are constrained enclaves.

It seems like buyers are willing to pay a premium specifically to get city services and city regulation. Instead of the free market being impeded, this is the free market speaking: buyers are paying a premium to live in areas where there are more services and more regulation.
Yeah, for comparison Apple's valuation is 1.88T, compared to US's GDP of 20.8T.
Bit of a fun fact, chrome OS is mostly C++ for the GUI.
It might have been read by people without the proper background. Even though I can grok the math, upon reading this I would go "oh, interesting what they resort to in this field".
It is. The design, somehow dictated by Apple constraints, makes it so.

I find it usable as a text editor, git client and ssh client, which is great really. Any lightweight CLI usage should feel great.

I was hoping to run go and python code locally, but even installing deps, not to mention running tests is unreliably slow.
The satellites have to have ability to do a commanded deorbit. Additionally, at the altitudes Starlink operates at, if there’s a problem with the commanded deorbit, the satellites will naturally deorbit in a reasonable time.

EDIT:OneWeb operates at higher altitudes where if there's a failure, the satellite will stay there for hundreds of years, but to try to mitigate that a bit, they added a grappling fixture/fiducial to try to make it easier for a robotic deorbiting craft to capture it.
This entire subthread is silly.

- BeOS was not a great choice, though certain aspects were much better than NeXT, primarily the filesystem. There were a lot of things missing, but BeOS's lack of printer support was the headline issue; seems ridiculous today, but "desktop publishing" still mattered to Apple at the time, and it spoke to immaturity of the BeOS graphics stack.

- Aside from WebObjects, the vaunted NeXT software stack was bitrotting. It was buggy and unstable on commodity PC hardware, and it was never polished enough for non-Unix-savvy end users. Apple spent something like six years bringing it up to a consumer-ready spec before they felt comfortable dropping classic Mac OS.

- The original iPod used no NeXT-derived software.

- But without the NeXT purchase, Apple wouldn't have gotten Steve back.

- Without Steve back at Apple, the iPod wouldn't have existed.

- Without the iPod, you don't get the iPhone.
A zero day vulnerability is one the manufacturer doesn’t know about or has had zero days of notice on (“zero days to fix”). An n-day vulnerability means the manufacturer has had that much time to deal with it before it goes public.

sidenote: I wish California would pass a Right to be Forgotten like the EU has. That would be epic.

Maybe I make that ballot measure myself, given so many "digital measures" having so much interest here already.
Why the death rate? If people are getting new cases, doesn't that mean that they weren't immune? And if the number of new cases is rising, doesn't that mean that the herd isn't immune?

I mean, yes, ultimately we care about deaths. But why do you think that deaths are the measure of herd immunity?
I reported a minor GraphQL API issue a while ago, which was actually my fault (incorrect usage), and received a helpful response within 30 minutes.
Untrue, a cell modem can attempt an initialization sequence and you would never know about it.
You're claiming a "both sides" problem in a system with extraordinary power imbalances.

Businesses in a free market aren't writing laws and regulations that can put people in jail. With government's great power should come an acknowledgement that it must solve the problems it claims it can, in the way it claims it can, or back the hell off.
I plan to do something similar soon ;=)

I played around with some actions wrt. commit signing and originally wrote a action a verify commit and tag signatures (in the way I need ;=) ). But now I plan to port it to a more general interface I can call from a GH action.
And that’s a feature, not a bug.
Wow. How does this pass muster?
How do you create such conditions if you are not the government? Who does the creating?
> [..] there's viability in a service offering access to pre-audited repos like NPM, basically just a curated proxy with a process around certifying the security of packages and updates into the repo, [..]

This exists and is not uncommon in the enterprise world. sonatype is an example I have worked with in my Java days and I think they over npm too nowadays. It's just expensive and therefore not ubiquitous.
I just build a hackintosh with Ryzen 3900x/32gb/500gbNVME and Saphyre Nitro with expensive case. Total cost: Under 2000 usd. Kicking iMac pro (11 000 usd +) to dust. So thank you Apple. PS. My Trashcan looks at me with silent blackness. But I don't care.
Depends on the state of decomposition as to what they would find in the autopsy, but I would generally agree that invenomation is unlikely as it wouldn't explain the emaciation (they could be coincidental). Found in a tent in FL... I don't want to imagine that smell. It's also possible they found anomalies or issues but were not able to tie them to the death (I imagine the autopsy is confidential).

I rarely use it for more than ssh into work servers on the weekend, downloading videos, or testing code snippets. But it's really nice to be able to use normal iperf rather than looking for some Android application that wraps it and may or may not contain ads.
My dentist has been telling me that digital x-rays have a dramatically lower dose than the old film kind (which I used to get as a child). I don't know how much lower is dramatically lower, but I think it might be orders of magnitude.

Maybe for what you want to see on the shoes you could use an even lower dose than the new dental x-rays. I mean, these old shoe store x-rays were trying to make the image directly visible to human eyes with a fluoroscope or something, right? Isn't that going to be orders of magnitude more radiation than modern sensors that aren't using the energy from the x-ray radiation to actually render the image?
You must first prove it's your account.
Directx is the only reason I'll be upgrading soon, otherwise I'm still booting into win 7 in another partition for a few old games, but i really want to play cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out so yeah...
If you want to launch on the Grand Tour, your launch options are the 1970s and the 2140s.

You hit the date, you test what you can, within that constraint.

(They were also heavily budget limited, and I’m sure everyone here has an example of a project which became more expensive because someone decided they “couldn’t afford testing”).

Even then, even despite people who probably have PhDs in specific engineering topics I can’t even name, half the time you can’t even tell what’s important to test vs “it’s common sense this will work fine for a thousand cycles” — hence the long list of missions which failed catastrophically.

It is rocket science.

Can't we just strip all the BS from it, and make our own version?
Thinking react vs. angular as though they are trying to "win" some universal battle is just propagated by clickbait blogging. Enterprise + larger scale teams tend towards Angular, blog posts and hip projects tend towards react.
Yes, this is all true. I did not try to say you were wrong. But I'm curious, what are you going to do with it? Why do you need the high-end performance?

(It can even run 3D games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_HXQJkWjUQ)
Some colleges teach courses with C++, and if students or young programmers want to get into game development or graphics, they're often recommended to pick up C++. Systems programming is often taught using C++, if not C.
something like votes per square mile may address this. Looks like there are some follow-up maps to be made =)
Or maybe hold companies accountable for the damage their products do to the environment and stop allowing the blame to be shifted to individual consumers?
This assumes that everyone caring for children is automatically "sacrificing their career". That is not true. There are still women who are not really interested in persuing a career they'd need to sacrifice to care for a child. So simply observing the "career status" of both parties is definitely not enough for a fair ruling.
most mod positions are offered first to contributing members of a community, so with fake points might eventually come real fake power. see for example the gallowboop story, he farmed points literally stealing other people content, and went to be a mod on a lot of subreddits
That S3 number is not an SLA. It's just saying that's what they're hoping they'll achieve by its design.
Big tech has big profit margins. Big telecom services doesn't.

Competitors don't enter the industry because there's little money to be made. The only way you make money by starting an independent ISP right now is by serving some niche clientele e.g. serving wireless internet to events at locations without enough broadband access.
Wouldn't say that, I'm around 30 and grew up coding C, C++ and later, in my teens some Perl anf PHP, all these languages use the -> syntax and I still used that in my notes up until two or three years ago, I also use nil from my lisp adventures and prefer snake_caas. The first languages have I learned as a young child made an strong impression in my mental visualisation of programming concepts even of I haven't used them in many years. I found notes on my iPhone using the arrow syntax with snake_case variables. And from the pictures he looks about my age so I'd say 30 is a real possibility as well.
Even if they were doing a bad job you wouldn't say so to avoid going to jail.
So how much does broadband cost in the US? I'd like to compare.

Also, what about 5g?
I think all our lives will be consumed with the results of today’s election - and I don’t foresee a quick resolution (winner decided).

"Climate change is definitely happening"

This is such a non statement.
Climate always changes. The correct statement is "the earth is definitely warming".

- best security aws

- best cdn aws

What does 'subjective' mean in this context? That its effects can't be examined? In at least a subset of circumstances, they can be (unless having or not having, say, PTSD, is 'subjective'). Psychological evaluations in the legal system are much like physiological ones.

Let's say somebody has a sensetive finger, and breaking it causes extreme pain, according to that person. Assuming something like the eggshell skull rule still holds, should we dismiss his complaint or treat it as lesser because his pain is 'subjective'?

All harms are subjective, and not all actions result in equal harm to the victim. A concert pianist is arguably harmed more by having his fingers broken than an English teacher is. A professor once said he'd rather someone break his leg instead of a student falsely accuse him of sexual assault.
I find Termux most useful when I don't have connectivity. Two thirds of what I do in Termux could also be done over SSH, but I like keeping it local.
It sounds like the embed the interpreter which would make it impossible for the linker to really do much. Even if it could, my understanding here is that the R interpreter is mostly just calling out to native C precompiled functions which would be another barrier.

Cross-language linker optimizations is an active area of research though so it’s a good instinct. Rust is definitely trying to do this across FFI boundaries with C/C++ code.
The setup I was focusing is creating a meaningful bash like script that runs when the URL is shared to Termux. I have also set up ways certain sites to have their audio stripped from the video, using ffmpeg and while basic, it does take about a couple hours to get things setup bug free in a way that's easy. Easy as in a two click, share -> termux and then just letting it run and it'll finish. And as other have mentioned, getting storage permissions right.
The author didn't just delete the database. He deliberately installed it on an ASG, which is designed to drop instances.

Using an ASG to manage a production database is a tale from the land of What The Everloving Fuck Were You Thinking, as you note, the author makes a habit of bad practices.

It's at least instructive to note that there is only one canonical good practice when working with AWS:

Always assume you are handling a footgun until you have proven you aren't.

For instance, you might think that Cloudformation is a reasonable way to manage a database in RDS because it's an integrated service and you can keep your configuration in source. That must be a good practice, right?

While they have improved the AWS::RDS resource in that there are fewer ways in which small configuration changes will drop your database, there are still big red banners in the documentation.[1]

To do it, you must specify a policy to say, "please don't nuke my prod database."

Because AWS will always default to being a footgun.

Convenience. It's easier for people to throw away the plastic bottle, green wash it because it gets "recycled", then buy another one.

On an individual level, one can reduce their plastic consumption by using things that are not packaged in plastic (eg. powdered laundry detergent, bar soap, powdered shampoo, and so on). It's a bit trickier for many perishable foods in the US (eg. milk, yogurt, frozen foods), since many things are not available in non-plastic containers, but this could be solved by regulation.

Not necessarily. The toxin could have been ingested, especially if it was something man-made rather than natural. Many would have left recognizable signs, but others you'd have to know what signs to look for and/or do a specific test. Whatever it is might even have cleared his system (it takes a while to become that emaciated) but not before doing some kind of neurological/motor damage.
I'm not confined to my house, I'm just taking effortless precautions like wearing a mask. I'm doing this more for my elderly grandparents, and people like them, not some strawman who eats too many Doritos.
I wear masks (N95 when I visit my elderly relatives) and am not against them. I plan on wearing masks until I have personally been vaccinated and test positive for antibodies. But not after that.

Where it gets weird is when 30% of people won't take a vaccine in the future, the vaccine is somewhere south of 70% effective, and none of the current phase 3 vaccines are seeking approval for use by children either. So what if COVID-19 sticks around for a while as a result. What if you can't tell who has had a vaccine and who hasn't?

Do you plan on wearing a mask everywhere for the next 5 years long after you've tested positive for antibodies? Because I don't.

I don't think so. You can easily get too many returns without any overfitting at all.

If you want to make it simple, think of using a 12th order curve as being similar to picking whatever 12 points you want to match and then drawing lines from point to point.
I know and it could very well be that most of the FP crowd I talked to were Haskell/PureScript/Nix/Dhall proponents.
