One is a problem for the reporter, the other is a problem for the recipient.

As a reporter, if I can't find where to report it, you'll find out about your issue when someone forwards my blog post to you. If you ignore my e-mailed report because you don't want to spend the resources on it, e.g. because I haven't built a reputation score, same thing.

Most importantly: If the only way to report a security issue is through a platform with a "community managed reputation score", I'm much more likely to ignore that platform and again, you'll find out about your vulnerability from a blog post.

security.txt actually told me about a contact address for Cloudflare that isn't HackerOne. (HackerOne, in particular, is on my shitlist because they impose terms of service that deter disclosure unless the vendor agrees, and they don't let you publish through their platform if the vendor is unresponsive. If the only way to report to you is through HackerOne... see above.)

I don't think there is any conspiracy either.

What theory would you use to explain the evidence which shows that lifestyle recovery of many consumers which had come almost within reach, by less than 1 percent, never did actually arrive and has been moving back beyond reach faster than 1 percent for a while?

Everyone knows that 1 percent is less than 2 percent so it has to be some other explanantion besides "that's not nearly as bad as 2 percent".

I really don't care to defend Apple in particular, I think the only Apple product I've ever owned was an old school hard-drive ipod over a decade ago.

It's just that Apple has always been pretty clear that it's going to push whatever arbitrary rules it sees fit to ensure a certain level of quality on its platform and that's par for the course.

I agree that de-facto having to choose between Android on one hand and iphones on the other is not ideal and I'd like more competition in this space, but at least there is an alternative and there are plenty of Android smartphones that can be rooted to give you full access if you so desire. It's not ideal, but I really find it hard to find a flaw in Apple's approach to these things if their objective is to create a somewhat "premium" curated platform.

Can you explain your issues with the second graph, it seems perfect fine to me.

The first graph is merely "meh" ... the two key data points for this article are readily apparent: over all harvesting of tuna is increasing and the percentage of shipjack in that harvest is also increasing. What message was this graph supposed to communicate that it did not?

A lot of excellent other answers, so I hesitated to chip in but I think there is a useful way to think about this.

If the unit of exchange was always physical gold coins then yes, there would be a finite amount of money. However the moment we turned to promissory notes, cheques, bank notes and financial instruments such as in fractional reserve banking the link to physical gold was a fiction. Such notes have been around a very, very long time although of course increasing in prominence over time.

It was a fiction even for precious metal coins as well because the moment a government started running low on the metal, or just wanted to inflate it's currency, it would just debase the coins.
Something like madvise(MADV_FREE) sounds closer than MADV_DONTNEED -- the app can check for zero where it wrote nonzero -- but doesn't guarantee the freeing will be delayed until there is memory pressure.

In my opinion seasoning meat is just short term curing, i.e. I do recommend flakey salt for that. It's useful less for being able to see the seasoning but the larger grains draw out more moisture/season deeper.
I'm sure someone else can explain this more eloquently, but I believe the basic idea is this: any time you make a transaction that isn't settled on the spot, at least one of the parties is extending credit.

like suppose one person has more grain than they need. everyone else is starving, but they have nothing to trade for grain. if the grain person agrees to let the other villagers have grain now in exchange for the promise of an ox next year, they have in a sense expanded the money supply. this type of arrangement can be implicit and difficult to track. maybe there was no explicit promise of an ox, but an unspoken understanding that a favor would be owed in the future. it still has the effect of expanding the money supply without digging rare metals out of the ground.
That’s one side of the equation, but as always there are diminishing returns. Therefore, borrowing money should be mildly discouraged as ultra low interest rates results in a huge misallocation of resources.

That said, consistent low levels of inflation have minimal impact on borrowing as the future cash paying for the loan is discounted. In effect it simply forces a minimum annual loan repayment rate.
> This is another way of saying that T-symmetry implies that all possible histories must have occured.

Actually, it's the opposite. Consider:

• A→{B,C}

• B←(A,D}

• C←{A,E}

That doesn't mean that A, D and E are all possible histories; when you consider B and C separately, D and E appear to be possible histories, but considering both B and C, you find that D and E cancel out,¹ leaving only A. So you can't actually make a claim about how many histories there are.

---

¹: This is horribly misleading. D and E aren't the same thing-I've-been-calling-a-state-but-that's-the-wrong-word-sorry, so their amplitude doesn't get summed, so they can't cancel each other out. My analogy wouldn't work as well if I'd used the same letter, though. (Consider also that I didn't use bra-ket notation. This is an analogy, not rigorous.)

Oh hey this might solve a problem I’ve been working on, to resample connected strands of Bézier curve segments, by splitting and merging the individual segments.

Raph, do you maintain any kind of full path parameter through this process, and if so are there any gotchas or tricks? Are there even any choices you can make? I’m not sure, and I’m asking before thinking about it carefully, so that might be a dumb question. I’m just wondering out loud what happens when merging two segments of different lengths and whether there are any ways to try to preserve roughly the same path parameterization as before merging.

Probably because I’m not very familiar with the prior work, I’m not sure I followed where the area metric came from. Is fitting area a popular way to do this in the prior work, or a recent development, or is that your own new finding?
Pinterest fights misinformation, hate speech, and self-harm content with ML
I considered that but IIRC browsers like firefox will accept to load an URL without creating a new child process.

For instance if I type "firefox 'http://google.com'" in my terminal my already-running firefox instance loads the URL in a new tab, so I assume that some kind of IPC is used behind the scenes to ask the main instance to load the URL. Of course that's harder to exploit nefariously than spawning wget from the same process but when there's a will there's a way...

Why is that amazing? I pay Apple a premium for that feature.

Not everyone considers it a feature, and I'm glad that other products exist to provide choice in the market. But I do, and so do many others.
My experience with Salesforce is exactly the promise of low code. Because you can get a lot more done without needing to be a software engineer, it empowers a whole extra set of people to build software without having to think in terms of reusability, performance, scalability, or a coherent data model. And you see the results of that.

I think as a platform it’s really powerful. (I’ve arrived at that after years of looking at it with disdain). But it’s problematic from our perspective exactly because it throws out anything we consider good habits of software development.
If you're in a space ship and you pass the event horizon- well, what passing the event horizon means is that your light cone has tilted such that the centre of the black hole is in your future, not some distance away in space. So from your point of view, it isn't that there's a direction in space light can't come from- you can potentially see things in all directions- it's just that your definition of space and time have changed such that the singularity isn't 1 kilometer away, it's 20 minutes away. But otherwise (ignoring your destruction due to growing tidal forces) things on your spaceships work normally-ish.
Note: I do not know if this argument against nuclear energy is valid. I'm submitting it in the hope that HN comments will help evaluate it.
Yes. They both could have been better but both communicate their key message.

I guess the point is ... I've seen many, many examples of worse graphs, graphs where the point was obscured or graphs that were deliberately misleading; so I'm trying to figure out how these two are worthy of appearing in a presentation.

HK vs the CCP isn't a great case study, because the center of power is outside of the country and it isn't mixed in with the disgruntled people.

A better counterfactual case study would be North Korea, Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia or present-day Myanmar; where the regime largely lives amongst (albeit in a stratified/segregated way) and selects from the populace that it controls.

I'd be especially interested in the early days of the regime, before its power is fully solidified and when it's the most unstable.
I think its a good summary, but one should stress a key point:

All this QE, aka money printing, can only be removed in a "nice" way if the additional liquidity is to a larger extend used to create additional value rather than consumption.

De facto, most of the liquidity is consumed without added value (Zombie companies, certain government expanses,...)

This can only work for a finite amount of time.
> 'Mahometanism' is a pretty easy throw-away

hm think again, the English people traded, travelled and warred across the known World. The ideas and social constructs of far-away others would certainly be a topic amongst the educated. A public position of tolerance may have been something substantial. Next, weigh that against a forceful, vocal and unapologetic Christian branch that stood for conversion of un-saved souls through the bounty of our Lord JC amen. So, no, not so easy to throw out IHMO.

I want to live in a world where the VSCode dev team saw GP’s request, liked it, implemented it, updated the blog post.

I like that world better than the one where I read half the first sentence and post a comment before finishing. The act of collaborating is higher prioritized in my brain than learning.
In the current climate it is impossible to determine if this is serious or a joke. This is in itself hysterical.
No I think I’ll continue to judge people for their behavior. I also look down on people when they use “ain’t” instead of “aren’t” or when they don’t correctly conjugate their verbs. Being prevented from communicating with people who fail to speak proper English has little practical downsides and many upsides. Looking bad to those who fail to speak proper English is probably more of an upside as well. An apparent failure to speak English well is indistinguishable from an inability to speak English well.

Demonizing intolerance of poor English does not help to improve anyone’s ability to communicate precisely and efficiently, it just seems to make people feel better about themselves. There’s nothing wrong with setting high standards for people unless you dislike excellence.
I posted the video as a reply to the joke GP made. But since you decided to bring it up, the criticisms made in the video equally apply not only to SimB2B, but your platform as well. It's the same thing.
Desktops could be improved quite a bit by tweaking default nice and ionice priorities for apps, instead of relying on one scheduling algorithm to be able to just "figure it out" on desktops, servers, phones, etc. A memory eviction priority, if niceness isn't treated as memory priority, could also help, but the existing tools can already go a long way and they just aren't being used.

I was able to get glitch-free audio by tweaking software and soft-irq realtime and non-realtime priorities, when the default Ububtu (with low-latency kernel) was nearly unusable for audio.
Yes. A lot of the games only run at 720p and all of the ports are either really old games or significantly downgraded compared to any other platform.
Altered States Database
Something weird happened in my neighborhood where a bunch of people were suddenly phished/hacked through WhatsApp and its SMS-based authentication. My girlfriend must have clicked a link in a text message that gave an adversary control over her WhatsApp and locked her out of it. That person then requested money from her friends and started phishing her contacts through groups--they didn't have actual access to her contacts.

She was on Android and was able to recover her account and we set up 2FA. Her friends were not so lucky, many of those with iPhones apparently had to change phone numbers to make it stop. I don't understand why but I also couldn't see their phones.

Anyhow, I encouraged people to give Signal a try. It at least doesn't send links that can hand over your account by text.
It might be both, because we could bend the definitions and what we consider tech or a gadget every which way :)

Like punchcards and related technologies are probably dead, for all intents and purposes. But you could argue that the ideas and the resulting tech (computers and programming) behind them lives on.
Ah, thank you. I would have called this the "net asset value" or perhaps the book value, or something like that.

So, in other words, Indie lacked in notable liquidity events so realized IRR was low while the perceived book value was somewhat higher. I'd imagine this happens all the time in VC.
If you want the experience of brand new formalwear, then the site is likely not for you.

The government already did, and they got the same answer. My point was that can be confirmed with something that is easy and simple to estimate.

I guess you're implying that these things could diverge and the inflation rate matching could just be a coincidence.

But I don't think it's possible, because they're all part of a feedback loop. The people who build cars have to pay for rent and health insurance. The people who manage apartments and work for insurance companies eat and drive cars.

An alternative to Google/Search engines?
I am working on a startup to solve financial challenges I have faced since I got access to internet in my home country, I am in the US now and I have the tools to do it, we have a working product and it's profitable with organic traction and decided it's time to raise money from investors to properly operate the business.

Let's go back in time.

in 2018, my wife who immigrated with me wanted to work in Fashion, with no connections to the industry, I built a primitive search tool that takes a sentence as argument and returns a spreadsheet type formatted result
The goal was to get a list of "name & contact details of people who work or represents fashion brands that participated in last NYFW".

I used the CFDA website as a point of entry and surprisingly,ran the tool and had good results, reached out to a few PR agencies and brands and got in, I did the same for the Paris and now she's officially in the industry working with top brands.

Fast forward March 2021, looking for investors for the startup I discussed above, I tweaked a bit this old script to find "US based VCs who invest in early stage in the [X industry] who made at least 1 investment in the last 2 years", the results are impressive : VC firm name, location, investment stage, list of partners name, email address, sometimes phone number and addresses, etc.

The script relies on Google/Yandex advanced search features, and publicly available data, SEC fillings or old blog posts, podcast transcripts, crunchbase etc.

For now I will keep this a side project / hobby and experiment with it, I think it could be an alternative way to search for specific stuff online.

PS: the number of private information available online is alarming.

Thank you for reading, would love your thoughts on this.

I agree that it's very arbitrary, but the justification that it could set a precedent by allowing effectively "copycat" application using spelling to mislead users holds some water IMO. It's especially problematic when application names are translated in other scripts and languages, which is the case here.

Imagine if a south african made a "facebok" app to share pictures of goats (bok meaning goat in afrikaans), I'm sure it would be rejected on the same grounds.

But I agree that the decision is very arbitrary and it can be frustrating if you're on the receiving end, but such is life on Apple's walled garden. Like it or leave it.

Buying art with an NFT is just a way to give artists and/or art auctioneers money for their art. That's it.

Oh and it can be used for other things like event ticketing, software license keys, etc.

An NFT is just a way to record (in an immutable distributed ledger) that a specific, uniquely-identifiable token was transferred from A to B.

People have always paid stupid amounts of money for art, and in the last 100 years increasingly art that doesn't require years of training/practice and advanced craftsmanship. Why is this any different?

It sounds like you just don't want to be involved in the art market, which nobody in their right mind wants to be involved in anyway.

Complaining about NFTs is like complaining about "blockchain" or "the internet" or whatever.
Raises the point that low end (and therefore extremely common in developing world) Android phones are about as powerful as iPhones from 2011.
