RFPs frequently reference past activity. That’s just not accurate.

The reality is that you only hear about failed projects. When was the last time that you heard about taxes not being collected or welfare payments not being paid or SNAP cards not being refilled?

It’s all background activity, and those awful contractor companies are often responsible for material aspects of delivery.

I've had a model 3 for couple of years and like the touchscreen way better than the analog controls of my previous ICE car. The reason is I know where to find every control. In my previous car there were switches in the center console, under the steering wheel, a bunch on the gear shifter I didn't know how to work, some to the left of the wheel on the panel, some up top near the rear view mirror, etc. I literally did not realize I had a snow mode feature until year 3 of owning the car because I never realized where the button was hiding. I think it's a matter of personal preference.

But that's factored in EUT anyway: you simplify the compound lottery and it turns out you have a huge probability of hitting zero. You might ask whether people will take the bet, and that's where the utility comes in. Enough risk averseness, and noone will take a return of a million dollars with a 1% chance of happening at a price of 100%
They could be aiming for credentials to use in credential stuffing attack, a place to put malware, a place to distribute malware, servers to add to their botnet, a proxy to use for shady stuff, the list goes on. I see plenty of reasons to attack a hosting provider and its infrastructure?

That's a considerable development effort and probably out of reach for youtube creators who are large enough to make a living and depend on youtube, but not large enough to justify that kind of investment.

More Cloudflare’s right? Because they can drop your DDOS protection or just block you from their DNS lookups, right? Like they did to 4chan/8chan.
Technically you do own the domain, although the registry and most registrars retain the right to revoke it based on their abuse policies; There are enterprise-grade registrars that have contracts without these provisions (like CSC Global[0], which Disney uses[1]) if you'd like to remove this risk.

Maybe some people have larger nasal cavities or nostrils or something.

But the idea that I could run -- whether in summer or winter -- with enough air exchange through my nostrils alone is simply impossible.

It's not merely uncomfortable. I mean I'd literally pass out from lack of air before five minutes were up. I've tried before and wound up gasping for air no different from if someone had been suffocating me.

And my nose is unremarkable according to my ENT. Not congested with allergies or unusually inflamed or anything. I'm 6'1", healthy weight, athletic, average-sized facial features.

I'm actually baffled by the idea that there are people out there who can breathe through their noses while running.

All worth is in the eyes of the parties to a transaction. Sometimes you can take comfort that there is a cohort with similar thoughts. You probably got your starting thoughts from that cohort. But caveat emptor, that expensive house might go down in value as the crime rate rises in the neighborhood, and maybe your “investment” in fine china and antiques disappears because lifestyles and interests change. A NFT for ownership of Woody Allen’s Sleeper would probably be worth less now than its peak value.

Meanwhile, a big (or the main) point of the art was the environmental impact. That part seems really pertinent to keep in mind.

> If LEO gets data/evidence illegally and they are unable to use it for prosecution

Law Enforcement Agencies work in cooperation with DOJ and they obtain evidence with the use of warrant[1] which is issued by court.

Speaking of obtaining illegal evidence you can search for numerous court cases where judges turned blind eye on questionable methods of obtaining evidence using hacking techniques. Some of those cases were seizure of Dark Web websites and their servers. Courts will always protect government agencies because they want to be cohesive and in synergy.

No, volatile organics are quickly degraded by sunlight and oxygen. The atmospheric half-life of mid-length aliphatic hydrocarbons such as octane is less than a week.

I don't know for sure, but my guess is that only a small portion of evaporated volatiles is scrubbed out of the air by precipitation. The people living around that spill are going to be breathing some nasty shit for the foreseeable future.
Details depend on the legal system, but an LoI can have binding clauses (e.g. an exclusivity clause) and it not being binding for the final contract to actually happen doesn't mean it isn't requiring you to be truthful. E.g. if you state that you intend on selling to X (but some things still need to be hashed out which could break the deal), and X on that basis pays an auditor or lawyers to finalize details, and then it comes out that you actually were already in the process of selling to Y and didn't really intend to sell to X, then you might owe X compensation for the costs they incurred based on your misrepresentation - and X has a signed piece of paper to point to as evidence. (And in reverse if X strings you along with misrepresentations)

And the term LoI is somewhat vague - LoIs can also be actual contracts if they aren't carefully worded.

I think that's a great decision. Many people like to complain about Youtube and its policies and its algorithms but it's simply very hard to compete with it. Its offering is really unparalleled.

Hopefully these creators will manage to carve enough of a niche to create healthy competition, especially with a business model that doesn't rely entirely on ad revenue. It's going to be very hard though, making money from video hosting is a very difficult thing to do.
I'm pretty sure that's not true for 2.4 ghz part 15 devices in the U.S. (i.e. 802.11 wireless).

(I had thought that ISM referred specifically to the 2.4 ghz band, but I guess there is actually more than one band. I do find it funny that that one of the most heavily used spectrum bands is the one where we put all the unintentional radiators like microwave ovens and industrial and medical devices, and then the FCC decided that we might as well let people do unlicensed transmission on that "junk band" because it wouldn't be interfering with anything "important". It's sort of the policy equivalent of the common phenomenon where over time the most important services eventually often end up running on the oldest, slowest computer.)

The Soviet mini-series that adapted Jules Verne's "The Children of Captain Grant" [1] is really nice, it's from the mid-'80s, a time that supposedly was bleak because of Chernobyl and the post-Andropov and post-Chernenko years, but nevertheless to kid me the TV series seemed full of optimism and of endless opportunities and marvels. That's from where I got the nickname I use on this website, too.

It was easy for me. I bought the cheapest. I had just finished grad school in 1993, and had landed in a new town with a new job. Though I had run my thesis project on MS-DOS, a buddy had shown me his Mac, and I liked it. The Quadra 605 was under $1000, and there was an article floating around on how to jailbreak the video port so you could use a non-Apple display.

It was a clean machine. The tiny case sat under the monitor (old CRT's needed to be boosted to eye level anyway). It popped open with no screws, and the whole thing was a single board with a 30-Watt power supply.

The Centris line were a bit bigger, but not really any more complex -- just space for more add-ons.

I did not even know that Linus had his own site. Fantastic. I won’t be watching his videos on Youtube anymore! Hopefully, everyone I watch will have their own websites, so that I don’t have to visit Youtube.
Mozilla Weave once used WebDAV IIRC and it seemed fine for my self hosted syncing among browsers. Firefox's new sync capability offers things too far outside that spec, but I still wonder if it was worth ditching the standard.
That’s what makes me disappointed. “The Case for Reparations” from Ta-Nehisi Coates digs into this and how American government has been active in keeping that a multigenerational issue in black communities in particular.

NOW, in my much-anticipated newsletter I will reveal all the tips and game-winning strategies I've discovered over the course of my high-powered investment career.

If you act today, I will include the secrets of how to get a 5%-down mortgage without any PMI!! This is a hidden method used exclusively by the super-rich to get even richer. Once you learn what I will teach, you will live worry-free, regardless of what pitfalls you encounter in life.

BONUS! The government doesn't want you to know this secret method to get a 15% piggyback loan, but I will show you this super-simple almost "devious" extra double-tranche, rolling mortgage financial instrument - and even more.

Why wait to order, when you could make them all wait on you?

Swiss here that happen to have voted in both polls. I can give you an insight on my view of the topic that may be representative of a part of the population (probably not the majority but at least a significant fraction).

Both initiatives are targeted to a specific extremely tiny population of citizens (most of the trouble is with « converted » Swiss that embrace Islamist views, most of Muslim of foreign origin are pretty well integrated and many even supported the recent burka ban because they know very well what that means) that tries to exploit the democratic system to promote their totalitarian ideology. You have to nip that in the bud. There is for sure some collateral damage as not all people that would like to build a minaret are necessarily islamists but there are prices to pay so that everybody can live peacefully together. The sacrifices will be compensated when the times come.

FYI, back when that was source of troubles Jesuits were banned in the constitution (ban lifted in the 70ties) and some cantons were forbidding to build bell towers for Catholic churches till last century, etc. When the tensions tapered out all the bans were lifted. I’m pretty sure in 50 years if we get rid of Islamism the minaret ban can be lifted with no troubles.

As a side note, by the way it is constructed, essentially everybody in Switzerland is part of some minority and is both paying a bit and getting back a lot in terms of freedom and respect. Everybody depends on the goodwill of the majority so it is in general wary of stomping on other minorities but react strongly when somebody want to destroy the system or doesn’t respect it (most of the sparse cases of real xenophobic behavior, which btw I don’t condone, you may encounter in Switzerland often boils down normal human narrow minds and that).
Usually when people talk about "complicated financial products" they mean some kind of derivative.

Yes, you can cook the books. That doesn't make the product complex.

It is fair to point out that some tech IPOs (We work comes to mind) had pretty sketchy corporate structuring and stock classes.

But I don't think there's any simpler financial product than equity.

You can do the same kind of financial engineering with bonds. Do you really know what's in the covenant? Is there even a covenant to speak of? People have been getting burnt for decades now by companies finding creative ways to separate the collateral from the loan.
Right, analog of a purchase receipt is maybe a better way to put it.
I think that’s more or less what it means to work in a tech company, as opposed to an IT department. “The business” is not some external thing. Each org is responsible for some part of the business, and contains all the specialties needed to take care of it. Junior people may work only within their specialties, but senior people are expected to have close partnerships and shared understanding with their cross-functional counterparts. We talk with each other frequently, but few of those exchanges contain anything new or surprising. Usually just an agreement to do the obvious next steps relative to what we did last time.
That's another symptom of America's lack of the social contract. If the persons who are charged with governing had any semblance of respect for the human dignity, they not only would build public toilets, but also centres staffed with social workers where the addicted have a place away from the public to inject and where the syringes are safely deposed of.

It's called harm prevention and this is cheaper (both in monetary and human capital) than just ignoring the problems.
I run a few WordPress sites, two very small, one pretty large, and I've got to say WordPress and the maturity there is truly incredible. I used the Simply Static plugin on one of the sites and it is great. The other sites are way too dynamic however. I can't even use much caching because of that, so performance is a constant battle.

The big site is getting ported to Elixir/Phoenix in the next year or so, but it will be tough to match feature parity for the content producer(s), who are very non-technical in nature.
If only there was some kind of really simple syndication so I didn’t have to visit 40 different sites to check if my favorite video creators have released anything new.
Concerning to whom? The people who want to impose clothing upon others or the people who have clothing imposed upon them? Or perhaps the people who stand on the sidelines and do nothing when culture is holding a veto over rank, overt misogyny.

(And before anyone cries discrimination, this particular subject is entirely geographic-cultural. Somehow we’ve been convinced that culture must have a veto over sexism. I'm unconvinced that we should consider this as settled debate.)

Do you have a source on that? (It's not exactly uncommon to be obviously fake, e.g. travel sites that show you they sold more rooms in a hotel in the past week than the hotel has)
I don't know why it cannot be shared here. Given the open source nature of PG's Arc and the fact that it's main repo comes with a HN clone, I'd be surprised if there was an impetus not to share forks of HN on here.

But maybe the hesitancy to link the site has more to do with this statement on it's Welcome page:

The initial impetus behind the site is a desire to try to recapture the early spirit of Hacker News. HN currently has about 5 million visitors a month. It's different than it was back in the day when it was a much smaller group of people.

You comment made me realize that if it becomes reality RSS might finally make a much needed comeback. You'll just poll various decentralized website to find updates for content you actually want. Aaaah, now you got my hopes up.

Deliveroo has increased sales of local food businesses. E.g. they "boosted the industry's revenue by £460 million in the year to June 2017." [1]

This is not too difficult to believe and to guess the mechanism at play: Before Deliveroo (and similar) services many local restaurants could only be reached by actually visiting them and eating them. Now they can reach people who want to eat at home (and who previously could only order from some pizza/kebab places that were the only ones to deliver). Therefore, all in all, I can believe that they made people order more than before and effectively consume more restaurant food than before. For my household that has certainly been the case.

What's interesting with this approach that it doesn't even take that much effort once the seed of doubt is planted. I remember back in the day,I was attending this party and after having a few beers,I started looking for some entertainment. My eyes stumbled upon a CD case 'Eros Ramazzotti'. I exclaimed, and told to one of the the friends who was standing close enough that it's a cheap knock-off. 'How would you know', he asks? Well, for starters, the name is written incorrectly. It's correct, I'm a fan of his music and have multiple CDs, it's definitely like this. Nope it's not, it's 'Razamotti'. He gets puzzled.. then a few others join, including the owner of the place. Fast forward 10 min or so and I've already convinced some of them. Others start 'remembering' and even supporting my claim. Eventually I tell everyone I'm just winding them up,but people were very surprised how quickly they started to doubt their knowledge.
