I've been getting thousands of these across the weekend, and they're easy to filter out but. Google seem to be surprisingly slow at prevention.

It's just idle use of my time. I remember answering some emails on the way back from the club sometimes. I'm tired, sure, but it's 4 a.m. and the drugs have worn off and now I'm just soberly going home in the back of an Uber. There's definitely enough memory access left in me to answer these questions and it's not like I can do anything else on the way back.

Yes, if you only look at pg 25, you’d get these results. But if you actually read the paper (which actually supports the conclusions they reaxh). Median Ct>34.9 group seems to be essentially false positives, and even Ct>33 is not strong, whereas median Ct=~24 is a very strong positive.

Turns out, my buddies seem to be right and you sit, by your own reference, are wrong in claiming that there’s no reason to publish Ct.

You think you are part of the scientific solution, but you have just proved yourself to be part of the cargo cult religion.

These are not allomorphs; these are the minor exceptions where one grapheme can refer to two different morphemes. — in each of those examples, the meaning changes with a different pronunciation.

Allomorphs do not change meaning, and typically occur in complementary distribution. A good example would be the English words “a” and “an” being allomorphs, “a” can only occur where “an” can not, and vice versā, and both have the exact same meaning and function.
It might also be true that neither the buyer not the seller, in any transaction, are happy about it as such.

It could, or even probably should be, argued that one should remain dispassionate about the outcome of any specific transaction in particular.

If you can't do that, then you probably are gambling, and that's probably a bad thing.

It's not quite another holocaust. The closest we've had in recent times was the 'Genocide of Yazidis by ISIL' and while the world was a bit slow to react they did eventually go kill most of ISIL which is probably the appropriate response to that.

I'm not quite sure what's appropriate for China and the Uighurs - it's not quite bad enough to bomb China but some serious trade sanctions could be in order.

I once worked at a major telecoms equipment manufacturer. Our competition analysis group had two functions. One was to work out what our competitors were doing. But the really good people were tasked to find out what our engineering group was up to. Basically, they were powerful enough to do whatever they wanted, and screw the product managers and technical marketing folks who actually spoke to customers.

This company is basically no longer in existance.

I switched to having only a single old phone with no apps and no sim on airplane mode as a clock in the bedroom. It makes it much easier to get going in the morning (as in a whole 30-40 minutes faster).

I have all my sounds and notifications disabled, and my phone is always on do not disturb. Family and close friends are the only ones who can get through the wall of silence and actually ring my phone. This works very well for me. It might take some adjusting, but being able to control bottom up attention signals so that they are meaningful again is surely worth it for many people.

your comment deserve 1000 votes. The whole message from Bezos is so much about what the management team has done and so few about the people who actually move boxes around.

I also wonder what's the overall CO2 footprint of Amazon and what's their record about recycling, repairing, etc. I know they propose some tools to help for that and they may even be more efficient than others, but as a company with "lead on social issues", it needs to have more than "a lead", it needs to question its very own existence. So the mail of Bezos, is, in my view, not ambitious at all.

This is good advice.

But in the same comment thread by the pentester, it turns out that what wayland does is a necessary step for security that X without embedded X sessions simply lacks. It is not sufficient but noone said so and it would be stupid to even assume that eg. a kernel bug can’t be used for escalation just because someone runs Wayland.

Yes; It might not be clear, but my argument is that these sorts of logs are usually personal data (as they usually include IP-address or other person/device-identifier) – but if you have URLs too you run the risk of storing SENSITIVE personal data ("special category").

BTW, the 'sync;sync;sync' thing was a necessary command given, mosty during the late 70's and early 80's, to park the tape head. Unix didn't have a 'rewind tape' command, so many manufacturers instead decided that three rapid syncs in a row meant 'rewind tape'.

Back in the 90s I played a MUD called Ancient Anguish. It's the type of MUD where inventory is dropped on logout. I learned they didn't filter for control sequences, and so I would rewrite the text on screen to do all sorts of nefarious things, like make people think they were ambushed and almost dead (thus possibly trying to quit to save EXP loss). I could also forge tells/yells to make them look like they came from someone else. It was funny to me at the time, lol.

edit: for fun i just checked out it's current status and it's still around, awesome. and rule #4 is now don't abuse control codes. hahaha, sorry guys. AFAIK they started filtering them soon after me and a cohort caused some chaos.

Your self-assessment matches the self-assessment of other systems architects that I've seen. Suffice to say that my assessment was so different that I never again want to work at a company who have people who think that is their job. And I've seen a wide variety of programmers from a wide variety of companies agree. As a random example look up the thread for someone who had decades of bad experience with architects at Microsoft who is massively happier at Amazon (which actively avoids the architect title and mindset).

Of course I've never met you, and you may be better than the bad examples that I'm aware of directly and indirectly. But a priori I have no reason to expect your self-assessment to be more reliable than past experience.

We believe that telephony SMS and Voice based authentication (2FA/MFA) is broken from both a technology and UX perspective. We are exposing the SIM card authentication mechanism used by mobile network carriers to application developers via our APIs and SDKs.

We're looking for a polyglot developer to initially focus on our web stack (TypeScript/React/Next.js/Vercel), but the role will evolve to include building the tools developers use in both web & mobile (Android/Kotlin, iOS/Swift, React Native) app development.

NPM 7 is now the standard
The expanding vacuum doesn't produce a force; galaxy clusters embedded in the expanding vacuum are completely inertial. The expansion is called a metric expansion because if we substitute galaxy clusters for isolated human-like observers, those observers will not find a measure of distance between them that is constant on arbitrary systems of coordinates.

(Cosmologists like to use particular systems of coordinates which are comoving with the expansion to capture the fact that no forces push these clusters off their inertial motion. However, there are arbitrarily many systems of coordinates which are not comoving with the expansion, and switching to any of those means that your coordinate distance to faraway clusters of galaxies isn't constant. In some of those systems of coordinates it is easy to be misled into seeing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictitious_force . Again, a change of systems of coordinates, especially to comoving ones, can make those frame-dependent forces vanish.)

One can also uses systems of coordinates to treat the metric expansion of space as the increase over time of a gravitational potential measured outside a galaxy cluster. The metric expansion means that over time an object has further to fall from outside a galaxy cluster to one of the supermassive black holes inside the cluster, with related observables like an increase in the gravitational redshift of light climbing out of the cluster.

The same extra-galactic observer sees an increase in its gravitational potential relative to every galaxy cluster in the universe, because the radial distance (in spherical coordinates) to all those galaxy clusters increases over time.

We can substitute an entire galaxy cluster for our isolated human-like observer without substantially altering the picture I'm trying to paint above.

In any case, I hope its not true that they are asking twitter to remove content - free speech is free speech.

Edit: Looks like Twitter went against a legal order, so they are the offending party here:

The social media giant "cannot assume the role of (a) court and justify non-compliance," the government said today in a statement. "Twitter being an intermediary is obliged to obey the directions as per satisfaction of authorities as to which inflammatory content will arouse passion and impact public order. Twitter cannot sit as an appellate authority over the satisfaction of the authorities about its potential impact on derailing public order," the statement read.
It seems to me the democracy experiment in India can collapse some time in the near future. I have no stake in that race being a total outsider to the problems in that huge and diverse country, but from materials and books I've read things don't look very positive.

To me the debate does not seem to be semantics, we simply disagree what is fair and who is deserving.

It’s unlikely either of us will change the others view, and HN is not the forum to attempt to do so.

> the key thing a product manager has to do is get out of the building.

Well, no, that's the sales job. First being a product manager is different in every company. And second there is a lot of differences depending of the type of business you are working in.

For example if you work in Saas b2b enterprise you can easily be a very good product manager and almost never meet the customers nor the users [1], because that's not what is important for the business.

On the contrary if you work in Saas b2c, talking (or doing surveys) to customers is crucial. So I would say that your advice apply well to B2C, in which there is no sales people
