Bicycles and pedestrians too. When I'm out walking I can often hop around the wide of the grid or climb the fence but not always. I never enjoy traversing a cattle grid.

The obvious alternative is a gate. But it's been established now that motorists never have to leave their cars to open gates etc. on the public highway so I can't see that happening (although it does exist in some rare level crossings, for example). Also they probably can't be trusted to close the gate behind them.

It includes :

A pruned, fully synced Bitcoin Cash Node (Bitcoin Unlimited v1.9.0.1)

Member server, fully synced database

Member client

To run it, just unzip it, and run 'install.bat', it will install the node as a service and run the server in a window. To open the client, open 'client/index.html'.

That's all. 100% sovereign social media, runs as long as Bitcoin Cash network stays up.
"There's no issue with alcohol" is the wrong way to put it.

Consumption of alcohol is mandatory at certain times (as part of Mass) and forbidden at other times (Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, but traditionally every Friday and all of Lent).
If society has decided that your political campaign is so toxic that no one wants to do business with you, should private entities be forced to deal with you if you are not a protected class?

Parler being booted is society's reaction to a movement that has been getting more extreme for the last 5 years.

I'll note the irony that many of the people complaining about companies refusing to deal with Parler are the same people that support bakeries being able to deny the business of people in a protected class.

Agreed. trump's "second amendment solution" comment during the campaign was certainly a call for violence. What did these platforms do then?
I see a blank page with Firefox error "MediaStreamError { name: "NotFoundError", message: "The object can not be found here.", constraint: "", stack: "" }. I'm sure it's because I use an adblocker.
It’s a good point, NYPD defunding itself can’t be tied directly to insurrection, but certain factions of the movement can be, as I detail in another response in the parent thread.

To me, the crime is high due to the unfortunate realities of inner city gang culture. Yes, historical factors cannot be ignored, and yes, police misconduct also does exist. Police reform is necessary, but a $1 billion budget cut ignores the reality of urban crime, and seem to cause a greater net amount of deaths, and the victims will unfortunately be mostly black/brown. Listening to a few of the chart-topping, yet violent rap songs should give an unfortunate indication of the current state of gang culture, and why the police provide an imperfect-yet-needed check to gang members.

But on the other hand, why would COVID cause an increase in shootings/murder? I could understand if there was an uptick in robberies, but from the data I’ve seen, the uptick is in shooting and murder.
I find it all hard to believe
It seems like there was a steep hill, but the cattle gate was level, and the sudden, extreme difference in gradient is what caused the sudden braking. Although from the photos, it all looks fairly flat to me.
Oh. That's a bummer. Would you mind sharing your ad blocker and browser version?
To get verified you had to post a scan of your driving license or another document, which was then stored in Parler's database. After all that happened (and even before 6/1 it was clear that Parler was being closely watched by a lot of three letter agencies), it was clearly a honeypot.
Actually, we hired a £32K/$43K Nissan Qashquai for a week, and came across numerous idiosyncrasies. The "best" one was when we attempted to park against a low hedge, and the car set off all sorts of warning alarms. It then refused to lock the doors, so we had to move to a different part of the car park.
It was funded by the Mercers so probably wasn’t a honey pot as they have interest in its business model as a primary cause.

It may have ended up as one intentionally anyway.

I've noticed this problem on XFCE, and using i3, and I always just assumed it's because I hadn't installed a proper alternative, and was just using the defaults. I'm ashamed to say I'm part of the problem :( I didn't realise it was like this on arguably the main Linux DE though. That's awful.
How about a sign that says 'Cattle Grid' that both people and cars can read. It'd help protect motorcycle/bicycle/horse riders too.
"Verified Parler Citizen" is basically a red badge to prove that you weren't a bot account. I think there were other benefits but I can't recall off the top of my head.

As a privacy-conscious person, the thought of uploading the front and back of a driver's license + selfie, or passport just to get an "I'm not a bot" badge is ridiculous.
It's a feature not a bug. How many trolls will disappear if you have to pay to post? It brings other problems like economic disenfranchisement leading to social disenfranchisement for those less fortunate in the world but it is an interesting design experiment.

Prior to Okta and Twilio revoking their accounts you needed to provide SMS authorization to create an account (you give them a number, they send you a code, etc.). It seems likely after their API access to Okta/Twilio was revoked their services weren't written to catch and handle the new exception these API calls were probably raising...

> Some other things, like overriding GDM's monitors.xml file, were pretty much impossible to do.

Quite the contrary. Nix makes it easy to override contents of files, even those that are part of a package. Some things to look for are: "mkForce" for NixOS modules; "override", "overrideAttrs", "symlinkJoin", and "meta.priority" for Nix packages.
no, people here want to censor the right out of existence. I mean come on, Fox News? Really? The bar suddenly lowers to a point that is indefensible. It's really obvious these days that its one-sided, to the point where I throw up my hands and not expect any fairness.

TL;DR

A TG server was sending a "salt" to clients in order to randomize keys (telegram claim) when in fact the "salt" turned out useless in terms of encryption and the only reasonable explanation for the "nonce" was using it as a backdoor to perform MITM attack.

You decide whether it was done intenionally or because of lack of sleep/understanding

PS. an original author got 100k$ for finding/exposing a potential backdoor.

That, or Twillio was reporting authenticated emails, without actually authenticating them?

It seems to involve some skipped auth steps on someones part though, not just a fail-safe/fail-dead mixup. It's not clear.
I figure we're maybe 10-15 years from nationally-mandated machine readable road signs.

Then again this could be the same perpetual 10-15 years away from FSD, so maybe it will actually be 25-50.
How is it different from having a private key + mnemonic phrase split between three persons? Once you have your private key stolen, you can recover your mnemonic phrase and transfer your funds to another wallet. Of course, this needs to happen before the thief can do the same, but this is not different from the proposed "social recovery wallet".

The problem is that transactions are a one-time, irreversible operation. I wonder if it would be possible to:

a) create wallets with an unchangeable per-transaction spending limit;

b) with the need to have transactions above a set amount to be confirmed after a set amount of time, with an email or other type of messaging sent between first and second confirmation.

(edit): The messaging part is impossible, as the blockchain cannot be aware if the message was actually sent- the miner could say it was and there's no check. But an app could observe the blockchain and notify the wallet owner of the transaction request.
While sterilization has jumped up several times, one cannot actually effectively commit a genocide by performing sterilization operations on an entire population. Most of what's going on is coercion and soft power.

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know the details of this case, so I won't speculate about how this case might be resolved under current law.

But the general principle I would apply here is that people who own important infrastructure shouldn't be allowed to interfere in elections (Trump 2024 in this case, I assume) by refusing to allow candidates to use that infrastructure.

I don't think that's controversial in the case of, say, electricity or phone service, and it seems reasonable to apply it to payment processing as well.
All these people at HN applauding these kinds of actions scares me. People seem to really think it's fine to kick Trump of Twitter, ban parler but have no issues with Iran leaders, north korea youtube channel etc.

I think this is censorship. There is no viable alternative to Youtube and that is the main issue. If there was 3 services as large as youtube, I would have no issue with the exclusion from one of them but now there aren't.

Fuck big tech and their censorship.

I am biased by the fact that I grew up in late Communist Czechoslovakia, but the American self-assuredness that "they only come for the bad guys" strikes me as very short-sighted. Precisely the USA with its long history of systemic discrimination against various outgroups should be wary of this kind of complacency.

The Euro coins are rubbish. There's very little differentiation in size, and the 1 cent coin is too small.

I lived through the pre-USB world, and things were even more "fun".

In all seriousness though, the current state of a USB is ridiculous.

My wife innocently asked me why her USB C phone isn't triggering Android Auto in the car, and straight away you know it's because she bought a USB C power-only cable without knowing the difference.

Nice.

There was questioning and ambiguity over Clinton's loss, particularly because of the fact that polling showed Trump was going to lose.

Donald Trump himself was surprised that he won.

But it's not remotely on the same scale as we see now.

There was 'smoke' with Russian relationships, and given the nature of a guy like Trump, a lot of people naturally believed the Mueller investigation would find him guilty of something. I did.

The press was happy to castigate Trump for two full years over it - until it just started to show that he was in fact innocent - at least of having colluded with Russians.

I hate Donald Trump, he's a psychopath who tried to overthrow the Republic in the end - but - he was actually treated unfairly during the Mueller investigation by the press as they banged 'Mueller + Collusion + Russia' over his head daily.

It turns out there were some shenanigans there, but definitely not Trump & Co. working with Russian.

The press never really cleared him from that.

In a way - Trump's mass lies about the current election is just him taking the same story but pushing it right up to the line of legality. Unfortunately, he pushed it way too far, and directing election officials to overthrow valid election results is definitely sedition, and he'd be in jail were he to note have the status and political protections he has as President. He's done much worse than Watergate.
True, but it still makes the attack surface much smaller - employees of neither company could steal your data. Your data is now protected by the intersection of the companies privacy policies rather than the union of them.

I do not think visually, I tend to think in very structured complex sentences, as such being able to interpret what this image means is extremely difficult for someone who thinks in the way I do.
The Julia translations of these might look as follows:

using OffsetArrays

cash_flows = zeros(0:max_time)

altitude = zeros(Bool, -100:100)

for I in eachindex(cash_flows)
some_function(cash_flows[I])
end
# or in this case avoiding indexing:
for cf in cash_flows
some_function(cf)
end
foreach(some_function, cash_flows)

OffsetArrays is not quite a standard library but it's close. A lot of library code will work like this, calling `eachindex` or `axes` so as to be indifferent to how the arrays are indexed, and to pass this behaviour through to outputs as appropriate.

In general I would agree with you, but does that work everywhere? I could see how that works in some tech focused locations like Silicon Valley. But if I would try to hire Erlang developers around here I would not find a single one. Unless of course I would hire remotely and try to compete with SV company salaries.

That's interesting. In the UK Audi, Mercedes and BMW (to a lesser extend) have a reputation for reliability. Is that misplaced?
Interesting to hear, in Belgium for example the homeownership rate seems high(speaking from living here for a while). The culture is very much geared towards buying a house, alone or with a spouse.
It's also a small country where people don't move alot, which might mean that they don't value flexibility as much as larger countries where moving is generally over larger distances.

Also, the banks offer very good rates for these types of loans if you have a stable job and prospect.

Renting for very long periods seem like a waste for many people here.
The IMF has suggested that new forms of information such as search and browsing history, purchase history, and ISP to determine credit worthiness. Link to blog post below quotes:

>> The use of non-financial data will have large effects on the provision of financial services. Traditionally, banks rely on the analysis of customer financial information from payment flows and accounting records. The rise of the internet permits the use of new types of non- financial customer data, such as browsing histories and online shopping behavior of individuals, or customer ratings for online vendors.

>> Fintech resolves the dilemma by tapping various nonfinancial data: the type of browser and hardware used to access the internet, the history of online searches and purchases. Recent research documents that, once powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, these alternative data sources are often superior than traditional credit assessment methods, and can advance financial inclusion, by, for example, enabling more credit to informal workers and households and firms in rural areas.

It has to play a part. Imagine using all your political capital championing those non-issues and not really getting anything tangible back in return. What a waste, it makes the Republicans look similar to the college racket, they sure took the votes (the same way college sure takes the money).

The Democratic establishment is in danger of this fate in the long term as well. They are sure taking the easy money from the progressive talk, but if they don’t deliver, it’s going to backfire in 2-3 elections from within.
This is why the autism "treatments" are so dangerous; they cause serious mental damage, not to treat or "cure" autism, but to force people to mask it, to pretend they're neurotypical. At least these treatments are being banned left and right.

(brainfart, I can't think of the name of these treatments atm)

Anyway, autistic people tend to have to learn how they're expected to behave, it costs them energy and analytical capacity, etc. In general they learn to manage, and you probably won't be able to tell someone is on the spectrum at first glance. This is especially true in women with ASD, who grow up with higher societal expectations. Same with ADHD really.

WhatsApp backups are a bit of an anti-feature, as I found out while trying to ditch the app after the recent policy update.

1) The backup can only be made to Google drive, you cannot create a manual backup to a location of your chosing

2) The backup is created in a secret folder that cannot be accessed by the user

3) The backup is deleted if you delete your account. (not much of a backup, eh?)

4) You can only create per-channel exports, but this won't export the entire chat, it will export up to ~12MB of recent media, and ignore the rest, silently. WhatsApp would only share the last 40 messages of a 4-year-old chat because the last few messages contained a few images.
At the very least, yes. But I read something from a former NSA hacker once and he mentioned he replaces his computer and phone every quarter, in addition to a bunch of other paranoid things.

> How can you do maths if you can't multiply single-digit numbers? Doesn't knowing long multiplication help with learning algebra?

I eventually learnt my times tables, but I was always able to multiply in my head quick enough that I didn't really need to. In any case I think the issue is taken with an over-focus on this. The OP is not suggesting that times tables shouldn't be taught at all.

That is mostly an issue with Windows' device driver architecture and not with USB itself. Windows tries hard to assign unique and persistent internal "name" to every device it has even seen, the resulting device record then has bunch of named attributes which are used to match correct driver to it. In context of USB there are two problems with this otherwise pretty clever and universal design: there are pretty common edge cases when the "unique and persistent" name is neither and then there are drivers (including drivers supplied by MS as part of windows itself) that match on wrong attributes.
I'd agree with you, but writing relatively clearly at speed has benefits in some types of exams (that are not multiple choice).

It may also help if you choose to enter a profession which still relies on written notes (e.g., law or law enforcement). And digital handwriting hardware is way more accessible now (e.g. iPad and Pencil) so learning how to write more efficiently than printing isn't all useless -- at the very least, you'll probably have an easier time taking notes, say as a student.
