I think this an interesting collision between common use of language and legal use of language. I think it's reasonable for the solicitors here to say that they were accused of running an illegal fraudulent operation affecting multiple people. I also think it's reasonable for the defendant to say that he was personally scammed. If you read the judgement it appears the law sides with the first interpretation so if you're going to accuse a business of running a scam, you better first make sure there are other victims besides yourself.

This is kind of a surprise to me and why I thought it was worth bringing up. Wouldn't it be nice if this issue was clarified in the BBC article perhaps with some helpful advice about how to deal with poor service or indeed genuine scammers while avoiding being accused of libel.
Agreed, I just meant that the phones baseband is required to be connected to a GPS receiver. With an open hardware / open source phone, you might have more visibility into what is going on.
While on the subject, is liking Downton Abbey or Anne of Green Gables effeminate? That's news to me. Huge fan of "Anne with an E" here -- still can't get over the fact they canceled it.
I agree that they should not wait, but wanted to point out that P620s use Threadripper Pro, which has a different socket (sWRX8) and came out several months after the sTRX4 Threadrippers.

This is brings back very old memories. My first job out of uni was as an SDE at Ericsson and my first job was writing VLR and MSC software for the first GSM networks in the US. My initial project was handling DTMF so if you pressed a number on the phone, my code handed that! Back in the day, prior to the web taking off, many exceptionally talented programmers/hackers worked in telephony. Then the web took off and most left for greener pastures.
I think, someone in the government has figured out that if you simply print money and hand it out to people, a sufficient amount of them will use it to buy stocks.

So, on paper everything looks great: people are receiving stimulus checks, the stock markets go up and nobody ever bothers to look at the monetary supply graphs to see that your $1000 in the bank has lost almost 50% of its value since the beginning of 2020. If you care to define the value as a share of the overall money supply (which does not immediately translate to purchasing power, but will eventually do through supply and demand).

In reality, the publicly traded corporations get unprecedented cash flows through stock value increases and low-interest loans, and together with very lax interpretation of antitrust law, can effectively destroy any competing business by subsidizing their offerings through channels that are not available to those who aren't a part of the club.

I used to think that we are on a brink of another 2008-like recession, where the stock markets will crash and people will have to rethink what they do with their money. I think, this time it will be different - we may have some years years of roaring stock markets and stagnating wages, where a typical salary will barely cover a room in a shared apartment, followed by a massive civil unrest, where people will get disappointed in the unfair economic system and will proceed to just grab what they can by force. Interesting times we live in.

I think grandparent is talking about something else. Large C++ codebases often have a guide that says which parts of the language to use and not to use. That can be useful if you have a team with people with different levels of expertise in the language, or expertise in different parts of the language. C++ has grown to be a language with a lot of different parts to choose from.

And it looks like Python is heading in the same direction. It's not difficult to imagine a future where some Python projects are going to want such guides too.
If they're organized by the company, I totally agree. We have (had) a group who voluntarily organized and went out to a local bar after work on Fridays. Everyone was welcome, and no one felt pressured to go or not go.

I find the f-string version better because I read from left to right and find it unnatural when my eyes need to jump around several times over the same expression in order to parse it. In your example that effect isn't too strong because there isn't a lot of additional text in the string and it's very clear what's going on either way.

If other companies were going to accept BTC, they would have done so already. If you remember 5-7 years ago, there was a big push to accept BTC, so much so that local coffee shops and even NPR started accepting it for a brief period.

I think Telsa is doing it to combat the short sellers that Musk is at war with. The $1.5 billion in BTC they purchased represents something like 2% of their net asset value and the prices of BTC can be readily manipulated up or down rather significantly with relatively little capital.

Musk and his team are all much brighter and savvier than I am, so I could be wrong. But this strategy makes a lot of sense in context, especially considering the market cap of Telsa has reached absurd levels (growing 800% in one year).

I'm not sure whether their ToS would allow it but Vogue's digitized archive[1] would be a great resource to scrape for photos and detailed descriptions of fashion trends over time. The archive goes all the way back to 1892 and allows you to filter the pages of each issue by article vs advertisement and do pretty comprehensive searches. For example, a search for "little black dress"[2] returns 1,969 images, 1,174 garments, 1462 ads, 11,531 articles, and only one cover from over a century ago.

It's a neat little slice of life regardless but I bet there's also a lot of cool data hiding in there.

"This last point is vital. Unthinking is not the same as ignorance; you can’t unthink if you haven’t already thought.

Why is it not possible for individuals to just pay a fee like a radio station to not get copyright striked?

There are so many solutions for industry like listening devices for venues that figure out what was played so that licensing can be processed.

I see this yet as another failure of the RIAA to get a leg up and provide a win-win solution. Instead these idiots are stuck in their old thinking until it's too late and someone else will once again "steal" a huge part of their profit. Apple is one that took such a chunk from them because they sat around.
It appears to have nothing to do with the game.

Prost was boringly good but had his limits.

The defining moment that differentiated the two was Prost refusing to race in heavy rain at Adelaide '89. Senna was obviously better in those conditions as that's how he drove. If the car wasn't on the edge of sliding or twitching under accelaration he wasn't going fast enough.

Prost was measured and did what was necessary to win. Senna wanted to win and win well.
You're assuming a lot of information.

B shared some data with Facebook. That data has somehow leaked to CA, which B never agreed to. Without doing any investigation of their own, B can pretty easily accuse FB of losing their data.

FB can defend itself by saying B shared their data with A, and it is A who misplaced it.

Or, it could be ruled that A could not be expected to understand that they are sharing non-public data about B with a 3rd party, so the ball could be back in FB's court. Perhaps FB should not have offered this option to A at all.

Or perhaps that was well withing FB's and A's rights, and the problem instead is that A never agreed to share this data with CA, they only shared it with Dr Kogan.

In this case again, it could be Dr Kogan alone who is at fault for sharing the data improperly, or it may also be FB's fault for not vetting app developers enough before giving them access to user's data.

Of course, there could also be many more nuanced decisions as well. But for B, the chain can only really start with suing FB - the only entity that B shared their data directly with. B can't know whether it got to CA through A or through D or E, or whether FB was hacked and the information was stolen from them etc., and they have no right to demand this information from FB outside of a lawsuit.
I should say I had a team backing me up, and I lost many nights (and a handful of weekends) because Kafka didn't do what we expected.

The journey to feeling good with Kafka was difficult, but I was too stubborn to let us give up. :)
> Can y'all share any team fun event ideas that have worked well

Sure. Give everybody a raise and quit forcing stupid "team" shit.
Yeah, I also don’t understand some of the responses here. An analogy would be that someone has a problem with some software they are using, so they do a bit of research and find a possible answer on Stack Overflow, and they hire a software developer to help them implement a fix. The software developer bills them £200 and provides detailed instructions on fixing it.

The individual leaves a review for the software developer saying “I paid upfront for help with my software. But what I got was just the Stack Overflow information I sent them, reworded and sent back to me. Another scam developer.”

If the developer uses the site the review was left on to obtain business and they can demonstrate a specific monetary loss after the review was posted, they have claims for damages. A non-trivial portion of a software developer’s job is looking stuff up on Stack Overflow, so applying that knowledge using their experience isn’t scammy at all.

Details of the legal advice provided are missing, but the same could be true. Client sends contract and seeks advice on what their obligations are upon contract termination, and the law firm responds by rewording the portion of the contract which spells out their obligations. If they find the obligations to be obvious, then maybe they didn’t need legal advice in the first place. If they don’t understand the quoted obligations, they should follow up asking for clarification. But saying “another scam solicitor” is libelous.

And isn’t his offer to remove the review in exchange for a refund considered extortion?

For me is veeery easy to make the argument that this isn’t psychological, but only to the expected variance of tennis match results. It was you that had to carefully cherry-pick data to support your conclusion.

I would only have to choose among all the other match points he has won through the 20 grand slams he has won. Only considering Federer vs Djoko, Federer won 46% of the matches. There a lot of match points won there. Also, considering only Grand Slams, Federer won 6 out of 17. Not a great record, but still no negligible number of wins. And I would attribute that bad performance more to Djoko skills, and maybe also Djoko physical peak coinciding with Federer older age, than to any thing psychological.
You can't just remove things, that'd break stuff!

What do you mean with built-in native? Isn't `import re` kinda built-in? It is not an external dependency. So you could even run something like this from the terminal and get 1234 replaced by 2021:

echo "1234foo" | python3 -c 'import re, sys; t=sys.stdin.read(); print(re.sub(r"(\d{4})", "2021", t))'
I agree with you that I might be looking at things through a distorted lens, I do not consider any jobs beneath me but rather I am filtering based on what I find interesting.

I want graduate school because the fields that mainly interest me are cryptography and number theory and jobs in these fields tend to require advanced degree's.

As far as the logic behind wanting to go to good graduate school isn't to get a status marker but to be able to learn from people at top of their respective field, I have been really fortunate at my current program with many great resources like research opportunities, clubs , great professors and other benefits that come with attending a good school.

If there is a possible path for me to take in order to improve my chances so I can get admitted in the future then that is what I would try to do.

further more I really enjoy learning and if I get job in any field then with the change in lifestyle from a student to professional I am afraid I would not be able to learn things that I find interesting as from what I have observed with people I see in the industry.
I agree with this up through Python 3.7. The recent updates though seem to be unnecessary or have obtuse syntax.

The people who would run to Deere's defense don't hang out on HN.

Tech companies named after fruit and car manufacturers (yes, plural) who's names begin with T and end with A can do little wrong around here. Sure they catch a little flak because they engage in less than ideal behavior (just like every other sociopaths BigCo engages in) but they get at least a partial pass or benefit of the doubt because they make products the HN demographics like and would at least consider owning. Comparatively nobody here sees themselves using their bonus as the down payment on a swather so the narrative devolves into a simplistic and nuance free "Kubota good, Deere bad".
HR seems to, and that alone is enough to cause massive disruption for most people, even the 'relatively well off'. If you aren't rich enough to never need to work again to survive, then your livelihood is one Twitter mob away from being destroyed.

I’m pretty confident that they use the same OS data for fingerprinting as well.
djokovic was already an extremely strong (mentally, physically, and technically) player himself at that time. he finished the 2011 season no. 1 IIRC.

the "mental toughness" argument cuts both ways. pulling out a win after two match points in a grand slam speaks as much to djokovic's own mental fortitude as it does to federer's lack thereof.

/64 is the smallest available subnet by design and many things will break the moment you try to subdivide further. The idea was that the lower 64 bits would identify a particular NIC by it's MAC address; this was later changed to be a randomized suffix.

> More subtly, the use of “we” seems to impute blame or responsibility on those living for actions taken by a very small group of people. It’s neither accurate nor useful.

Saying that it was a very small number of people sounds a mite ridiculous to me. Multiple cultures throughout history have supported/accepted it.

It is also a reminder. These weren’t storybook monsters, they were humans, and we should be reminded of that lest we regress.

We’re certainly not to blame, but we are responsible for not going back there.
> I'm not seeing anything about pricing. How do they make money?

Right next to the "Apply for enterprise access" button, there is a giant block of text saying "Our enterprise solutions are customized with predictable pricing".

Basically, they make money, because that API access isn't free. They don't list the actual price there because, as it is the case with most enterprise sales, there is no fixed pricing, and they work out individual deals on a case-by-case basis (which is based on the number of requests you expect your API to make per day/hour, volume discounts, long-term contract discounts, etc.).

Long story short, there is a price on it, but to find out what it is, you will have to apply. And the price you will get will probably not be representative of the price other people/enterprises get, but at least you will know what it will cost for your specific company/project.
