Sorry for your experience. Interesting post, chilling thoughts at the end:

>When I sit in front of the computer in San Francisco, the only thing that comes to my mind is to build a Face Recognition system and check the burglar’s face in it. Something similar to Clearview. Machine Learning is my expertise; creating such a system is straightforward but will take some time. Tempting. Thinking about it.

The thought my peers are pushing for extended surveillance/identification tooling is terrifying.
If your use case is what the author describes then why consider Apple products anyway? Your threat model (whatever this is) defines your choice of hard- and software, not the other way around. Apple doesn't care its products don't fit 0,5% of all the use cases. There are other products and mitigations (TEMPEST anyone?) for that

Hi, are there missing security updates in Debian chromium or such risks? I use Debian because bandwidth is precious, and avoided chromium for fears of chromium's fast development leading to Debian missing some important patches. I don't care about newest version anyway.
Thoughtful criticism is like having good feedback. It should not be hard to receive that. It starts becoming hard when there are ulterior motives or when the criticism actually isn’t valid but getting a lot of attention. Most constructive feedback is actually best shared in private as well.
I’ve rented several whole apartments in various places in Europe, and have never been disappointed. I do also take a good look at the photos and set my price above absolute rock-bottom. I’ve never left or received a bad review.

I’ve also only rented places that were meant for rentals and never the homes of non-professionals. Maybe that’s the difference?
> The term you are looking for is “professional display”.

Those cost way more than dumb displays did back before there were smart displays. Look at the 40-inch/43-inch models. They're like $800. I bought all my 40-inch 4k screens for under $300 in 2016.

The insane price gouging in these "professional displays" cannot be explained by advertising subsidies. We weren't paying those prices for equivalent-spec dumb TVs back when those were available for sale.
There are laws against this sort of thing.

In another country, like the one I now live in, this would be a job for law enforcement.

You'd just hand over your files to some branch of the government, and in a surprisingly short amount of time, you'd get some money, but also, the site would stop cheating people.

Except that this rarely happens here, because companies know that law enforcement cares about systematic scams.

They might try to cheat you once, to see if you're a sucker, but if you put up any fuss, they'll give you the money.

Building a decentralized web puts the choice whether to enable and propagate whatever content in the hands of the user, rather than the "cloud".

If it’s a merchant, just use a credit card. Payment processors don’t like fraud, and it’s one phone call to report a disputed charge. Disputes come out of the merchants pocket and then their rates go up or they are dropped by the processor. You also benefit everyone else by finding and hurting the bad merchant.

I don't understand how this could happen in places that have good reviews. I only consider places with a minimum of 10 reviews and avg score > 4 stars. Never had a bad experience.
To echo others here, LinkedIn is responsible for my last job and a bunch of interesting opportunities. I can definitively say that it is the only social network that has made me wealthier and better off than otherwise. That's worth putting up with a lot.

That said, I talk about LI's timeline as an example of a terrible product thinking. It definitively devalues the platform. Specifically - it seems that whenever any of my several thousand contacts Like some post, it shows up in my feed - ie Like is equivalent to Share/Retweet. This is a huge problem because people don't filter themselves as much when Liking vs explicitly sharing. Thus the timeline fills up with "X liked some feel good fluff from an influencer" - stuff that X definitely did not intend to broadcast when they engaged with it.

I think this has the inverse effect on engagement. I am keen on maintaining my network and I find it valuable when LinkedIn tells me who has a new job or promotion or even just an anniversary. I would log in periodically just for that. However, that stuff is now drowned out by total nonsense.

If I had to guess, their metrics are something like "X things liked" and "Y things seen by an average user" and I guess they are doing well on those, but if the metric was more related "are we giving quality engagement to our best users - ones that recruiters are paying LinkedIn in order to be able to reach" - I think the answer would be no.

I am not an expect in consumer web/social media so there might be an angle to the game I am not getting (hard to accept that it actually is just that dumb) but I can't figure it out.
Airbnb has insurance that covers $500. Anything more expensive is your responsibility. To expect them to have insurance that covers more would be a waste of money to customers on a budget. Either get insurance that covers your expensive belongings (and accept that it will cost a lot because your belongings might not be securely locked up all the time) or securely lock up your expensive stuff.

It is unclear that the host secured the property to the standard required by airbnb and their insurance but that would be a matter between airbnb and the host not between the host and guest.
What country is this, if you don’t mind my asking?
So many problems with this article.
Huh? It says what it is and what it does on top of browser styles right there in the linked gh page, doesn't it? The question is more, like, why do we need to discuss those CSS "tricks" at all on a forum for "hackers"? I mean setting contrast and handling overflow of preformatted code text are as basic as it gets when it comes to text formatting. And come on, "prefer-color-scheme" as media query, really (when we have "the cascade" and user stylesheets, adding lots of overhead to CSS)? It appears CSS is made about as unhelpful and undiscoverable as possible.

> Can someone give an explanation of what this new mRNA vaccine technology is actually doing?

mRNA contains a temporary copy of gene sequences that is used by cells in the body to create proteins. i.e. normally in the body information in DNA in the cell core is copied into mRNA, and other parts of the cell then read the mRNA to create proteins based on the structure described in it. (thus the name "messenger RNA")

A traditional vaccine (e.g. the flu vaccines) would inject either a weakened form of the virus or material with characteristic protein patterns matching the virus, with the goal to cause the immune system to adapt against this pattern. An mRNA vaccine instead provides the cells at the injection site with mRNA that describes the characteristic proteins, and thus causing them to create the proteins themselves.
Imagine your thought would be more like:

We should make sure that education and social support are so strong that this is not an issue.

But hey, its just easier to try to solve it the other way around right? You can develop your face detection and human beeing tracking skynet from your nice SF home with your nice gear and let the policy handle those animals.

Unfortunately the law does not work that well in all countries. It might take years even for a small dispute and they know that in most cases and they take advantage of it. The important thing here, as you mentioned, is for the company to be in check by the law or else they will just take advantage of every situation, but of course. The law is mostly slow and never helpful unless you spend a lot of money in lawyers.
That genuinely sounds like he misunderstood the issue to be with prior untracked referrals rather than not paying out referrals properly attributed to him but "ineligible".

Like this article there's a lingering, if a bit different, question of what should be expected of co-authors.

This make it very valuable to me. Resolving disputes can quickly become stressful, especially when as an engineer you rarely have to do so with customers.
I sent an email to a specific conservation project, asking if they happen to need any software help at the moment and they did. We got chatting, agreed on some goals and I got working. I signed their volunteer agreement form which sets out some conditions (nothing unsurprising). That's it really.
funny right?

On one side you have a real hotel businses, with clear cleaning standards, proper managers and personel. With experience, with save rooms, room standards etc.

But you prefer to go with Airbnb while writing stuff like "Still, I’m scared about the next time I’ll run in troubles with Airbnb."

How about you accept the fact, that AirBnB works because it strips all that stuff, which makes hotels more expensive and more favourable, out of it?
Not really, maybe it was the case 50 years ago (I don't know). Now I'd say the authors that are the most well known in France are Victor Hugo, Molière (we say that french is Molière's tongue), Voltaire and La Fontaine (every student has to learn some of his fable), maybe Baudelaire.

But then again, even tho most french people heard/learned about them, few could quote one of those author.

As for an equivalent of Shakespeare, Pushkin, Goethe or Dante, we don't have any author stamped "best French author", it's a matter of personal opinion I guess. I'd say maybe Proust, but not a lot of people read him. (There is a saying that half the people who say they read Proust, did not).
I never had any problems with audio/video features, but the RAM issue is real: it uses significantly more RAM than VS Code, another Microsoft product, that runs way more complex processes behind the scenes.

Did you expect nuance from the "Kaggle Grandmaster" who's too thick to secure valuables in a not-quite-hotel?

It’s terrifying, but somewhat natural. They feel violated. AirBnB gives them a pittance. The police say they don’t think they will catch the crooks. The host shrugs their shoulders and moves on.

The author is looking for an alternative, even if it’s somewhat dark. Ideally, AirBnB would either provide or mandate insurance for situations like this, but they can probably increase profits by allowing this type of bad situation to hit a small minority of customers.
Pasting my answer from a similiar comment above:

Forgot the books. You're in era of Digital Learning and suggestion is to learn online as per your time from anywhere, anytime.

Here you will find online courses (which can be free) on the topic of philosophy.

https://www.mooc-course.com/subject/philosophy/

MOOC is platform to learn almost anything and you'll find many courses from prestigious university like,

- Harvard University
- Massachusetts Institute of Technology
- Microsoft
- Google
- Amazon
- London Business of School
- University of California, Berkeley
- Imperial College London

Learning from these university surely will help you to gain critical components of particular subjects and will also help to boost your resume.

A pipe merely "pipes" the output of one function as an input to another. For example, | in bash. In Python this can be done the trivial way (by composing) or by using decorators.
One thing that Hope doesn't seem to support are contentless elements. E.g. some drawing may look so:

100:100:svg:svg
100-100:svg:g /* group */
100-100:svg:rect
100-100:svg:rect

These elements have no text content, so their extent is 0 and offset is same. Yet they also have hierarchical relationships and you need to store extra data to express those. E.g. in this example you can guess that 'g' and 'rect's are descendants of 'svg' and the first 'rect' is a child of the 'g' but only because you have some preconceived ideas about the meaning of these elements. There's not enough data to tell if the second 'rect' is a part of 'g' or not. You need to store at least the level in the hierarchy. If you stored the data in a database (i.e. without implied order) you'd also need the relative position of the element, but here you have the order built-in.
Yep, and from a bean counter but also "someone who likes to do work while at work" Point of view having a chat tool that feels like work at work rather than a typical social media time sink is a GOOD THING. Slack has been an absolute productivity killer everywhere I've used it because it contains all the usual Skinner box tricks to keep users engaged with it rather than doing actual work. Workplaces shouldn't be about "the joy if connecting with each other". shudder
IME, the thing that nobody seemed to get the hang of, over a couple of months, with Teams was the difference between replying to the last message as a thread and starting a whole new thread. It seemed every time I wanted to reply, I ended up.creating a new thread, and I was far from the only one.
Yeah emacs has like eleventeen different folding modes. That's the problem.

I rented an airbnb in Porto, Portugal and went to bed early one night. Someone broken in around 12 am and attempted to come into the apartment. I jumped up and ran to the door and stopped them. They clearly had the keys some how because that was door number three to open and get through. Really sketchy.

Airbnb was at least cool and gave me a refund and let me move. However, two weeks later I checked and the same apartment was for rent! It's clear someone who worked for the owner had a set of keys and was robbing the guests.

I believe, while you can always be the target, the reason why so much stuff is stolen on holiday is simply because a lot of peple don't know and don't care.
