If your security guard at the O&G/C Building said that, then you were being told a wild story.

There is NO WAY Sundance Security would do that. I personally know the security team members and how professionally they are trained, and I know the Basses and how they operate.

That's a horrible thing to say. And it is sad that you or anyone would actually believe it.

It's a tall tale that a late shift guard might enjoy telling, but it isn't the truth.

This doesn’t make sense. Domain registration is different than DNS. Many would argue keeping your domain registration separate is probably a good thing. Sounds like your problem was with the registrar (making it hard to update NS records to Route53 or anyone else) not AWS.

I don't think this critique applies to restyled - it's free for use on open source repos, but costs money for private repos.

Which is a pretty standard arrangement for SaaS dev tools that I think makes it pretty clear your data isn't the business model. What I like about that model it is a reasonable balance of customers actually paying for the thing they use (so the business owner isn't beholden to advertising or tempted to abuse data access), and supporting the open source community (without which most of the modern web couldn't exist). I won't say it's entirely without risk - you need enough paid use to cover the costs of the open source use. But I think it's an ethical and sustainable approach if you can achieve that.

And, again, restyled is open source - if you don't trust the owner, you can run it yourself.

It’s not even trying to solve the same problem.

Bitcoin is a store of value, Ethereum is an universal computer with a Turing-complete language.

I personally use Bitcoin because it has a smaller attack surface, and it’s excellent for my needs. The bug in the multisig contract in one of the Ethereum implementations a few years ago was where I decided never to trust Ethereum as a store of value, as multisig is very important for me. Another important difference is that with Bitcoin I can verify the whole blockchain on my computer, with Ethereum it’s much harder. Also the hard forks in Ethereum means that it’s not yet ready to be a store of value.
I had success but I used the Apple store app. Maybe give that a shot

I'm against voter ID legislation but almost all these arguments are terrible.

> there's no documented problem with voter fraud that needs to be fixed through ID requirements

Maybe not, but that's not an argument against voter ID, it's an argument against one of the arguments for it. Slightly different.

> ID requirements are often imposed with the explicit intention of reducing voter turnout among the poor

Implicit, maybe, but do we have anyone on record saying they want voter ID to raise the median income of the average voter? Or that they don't want poor people to vote so we're going to make you bring in a driver's license?

I buy that this is a side effect/consequence of voter ID, but not that it's explicit.

> there is allegedly a large swath of Americans who don't have valid identification and can't get it easily

Maybe, but like someone else said in many European jurisdictions you are required to show ID, it costs you money to get it, and you have a process to get it that takes time.

> the offices which produce identity documents for people who don't drive might only be open twelve days a year and are located in areas that are not accessible by public transit

I'm definitely calling BS on only being able to get a non-driver state ID one day every month, and most of the US is not accessible by public transit. We are not as densely populated as Europe and expecting a nationwide public transit network that reaches 100% (or even 50%, honestly) of our citizens is unrealistic.

> For people at the bottom of the American income inequality pyramid, getting documentation might be something they can't afford

This I actually agree with, and this[0; PDF] is actually a great breakdown of costs associated with getting an ID. It's absolutely a biased source the number are accurate and you can ignore the politicizing narrative.

I agree that the good faith solution is making identification free for anyone who can actually prove their identity and needs the financial assistance. It's hard to argue against VID if anyone who can prove their identity gets an ID if they want it.

Curious... I've never even had to think about chunk size when using sftp. It has always "just worked" for transfering files.

What scenarios are you talking about where chunks are important and you have to be concerned about ordering? Is this strictly for applications that perform large sync'ing jobs where "to-the-limit" performance is important?

It doesn't seem like a huge deal to deprecate scp and start using a short stanza of sftp for simple file transfers.

>>Most people aren't in Antifa or BLM, and most people probably don't think disbanding the police entirely seems like a good idea,

But that's not what they argue, is it?

I've seen calls to refund the police as a slogan that points out that it's far more effective to use resources on social policies that stop social problems from happening than wasting those resources mitigating avoidable problems. One of the textbook examples is homelessness, whose root cause is lack of a social safety net that helps people with mental problems cope with their condition instead of throwing them in jail. The other one is drug abuse, where it's far more cost effective to treat addictions as diseases than to throw drug addicts in jail.

The only instances I ever saw of calls being made to disband police departments were due to rampant systemic corruption problems affecting some police departments which are too entrenched to salvage, and how the US has already a long history of tackling that type of problem by replacing the whole police department with a brand new one.
Finnish kids have finnish-speaking parents, and spend their entire days immersed in the language, at home, daycare, or school.

Expats are most likely are in an English-speaking environment at work, where speaking Finnish at the level of a four-year-old is going to be a bit of a hindrance; no practice at home unless they have a Finnish partner, and no real options for social activities that will tolerate the learning curve, like children have.

And if it is anything like the Netherlands, any mistake you make will instantly and irreversibly switch the conversation back to English.

The truth is that regardless of how well put together a firm is, break-out success is a crap shoot. A VC strategy that maximizes potential revenue (by heavy due diligence) is almost always going to end up with lower actual revenue than a VC strategy that attempts to maximize actual revenue, by having a larger, diversified basket. If the terms of the initial funding give the VC first crack/options for later rounds, all the better.

Nothing I'm aware of, but I think part of why most realtors use Facebook and Instagram instead of something else is that their intent is to bring-in customers, so they need to be not where other realtors (their competition for business) hang out, but where people who need relators hang out, and where the friction required to engage with these non-realtors is low.

Depends on what your goals are and how long ago high school is for you.

If your goal is to get a job in a field or at a company where you will be expected to write C++, then learn modern C++. If you are interested in using software that interoperates with C++ well, like the Unreal engine, then use C++. If you are interested in embedded programming for small systems, C++ is a reasonable choice.

If you just want to get stuff done, C++ can introduce additional complexity and get in the way. C++ is more difficult to learn and it is more difficult to reason about programs in C++ compared to languages like Go or Rust. C++ programs often suffer from memory errors, even if you have world-class programmers on your team, and debugging memory errors can be both challenging and time-consuming.

Schleicher's Fable
It's a code-smell in Django, but I agree that this kind of thing shouldn't be "auto-fixed" by a bot. There are perfectly valid reasons why you might want to eschew the convention.

> Avoid using null on string-based fields such as CharField and TextField. If a string-based field has null=True, that means it has two possible values for “no data”: NULL, and the empty string. In most cases, it’s redundant to have two possible values for “no data;” the Django convention is to use the empty string, not NULL. One exception is when a CharField has both unique=True and blank=True set. In this situation, null=True is required to avoid unique constraint violations when saving multiple objects with blank values.

As neat as this is....I have a few major pain points for ARM that will keep me away from them as a general purpose platform:

- Can I even install my own OS, or am I locked down?

- Can I use mainline linux, or some proprietary vendor kernel that will not be updated at all?

- Can I do a manual install, or is the actual install process going to be some maze of partially installing, figuring out where proprietary vendoor boot images go, and hoping that when I press power that it actually turns on? Or do I just have to resort to some .img file and have no control over encryption or how my partitions look?
One could argue that this would be a bad abstraction because it hides the network layer.
How do these compare to AMD/Intel processors? I'm sure they are more efficient, but can they compete in speed and power?

This isn’t rocket science. When taxes were high American Main Street did well.

> Can jq do what gron does?

It really depends on what you want to do, and thus what think gron does.

If all you want to do is search for properties with a given value then yes, jq does that very well.

Unlike gron, jq even allows users to output search results as valid json docs. Hell, jq allows users to transform entire JSON docs.

However, if all you want to do is expand the JSON path at each symbol then I don't know if jq supports that usecase. But then again, why would anyone want to do that?
It makes me so sad to see this. I have one of the first "viral" animal rescue videos on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zfKkihoH3Uk and one of those channels has a shot for shot recreation of my video.

For backstory I found a dog way out in the countryside and clipped together the videos I had sent my wife when I had found and picked up the dog. I wound up posting it to my local subreddit to try to get the dog adopted and it went viral from there. Within 24 hours I licensed the video for a mid 4 figure sum to an agency.

I personally do not believe that depression/anxiety can be changed purely through narcotics (natural and pharma).

From my experience, building a systematic understanding of my unconscious anxieties and consciously working to overcome them is what caused my mental health to improve.

I found the hardest part was the diagnosis of the anxieties, and that my dreams gave me the best clues (not used in the Fraudian/Jungian way).

I got a bit obsessed by it, and wrote a paper as I couldn't find anyone suggesting the same theory as me: https://psyarxiv.com/k6trz. It was discussed on HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19143590
