I'm ethnic white hat hacker, I hacked two emails account and Facebook account for ANTONY SAMUEL about 24 hours ago, Less than 1 hour to hack the target android phone and I gave him all the fullest access to the account and I also showed him proof without advance payment. I didn't knew someone else gave him the job, He sold the job out to his client and got paid huge amount of money worth $4000, now he's on the run with my own payment worth $450. It's very common for people to behave like that, what is the meaning of advance payment? Is the part of a contractually due sum that is paid or received in advance for services, while the balance included in the invoice, Its term of payment you pay by percentage, such as 50% of the payment.

Hackers across the world offers recommend advance/full payment, If you cannot do that, definitely you want to sell out the job to another client and get huge money in return. No proof will be shown to you, because through proof you can get paid. It may be the proof your own client is waiting for. I'm well equipped with modern hacking tools, once you pay 50% advance/full payment, I will show you a proof on the target phone/computer, If you want fast and good hacking service delivery with a proof contact my email: uniquebruteforcehack AT protonmail DOT c o m
Wondering why the article tone is so concerned, these guys look like they are having a blast. If someone staked you to go prospect in the wilderness for the summer and your upside for 2 months camping was a 1:5 to 1:3 chance at making the equivalent of $1m payout for your effort, with probably only $30k in expenses, and your alternative was working an an assembly line, why wouldn't you do it?

Mammoth tusk is in demand from luthiers who make custom guitars and other custom instrument makers. Sure, digging up anything has environmental consequences, but the scale of the demand is too low to make an ecosystem dent. It's not like paper mills, gravel pits, or metals mines. The environmental objection to this seems to be more about the men themselves and the individual entrepreneurialism, because if this were bank funded, it would be called an important industry. If they want to talk about environmental devastation, I hope they enjoyed all those newspapers they read to refine those thoughtful opinions, because if you've been to northern Ontario, the pulp industry that produced all that paper to opine on was what really killed rivers. We may look back on newspapers as one of the worst examples of devastation wrought by human vanity in history.

I don't think this mammoth tusk demand scales to where it creates environmental problems on the scale of real industries, and the guys doing it just seem like an easy target for a concern brigade who use it as leverage for influence in regional politics.
Results of what? Texas isn't some magical place that works better than any other large state. And you could make the argument that it can be worse than other states. For example, hurricane Harvey brought on major flooding in 2017. It took them two years to come up with something to try and help (prop 8 2019) because they aren't there working.

You should read some more about the Libyan war, because you're significantly misinformed.

The airstrikes were absolutely crucial to the rebels victory, and no one with any idea of how the war progressed would try to claim otherwise.

Before the airstrikes qadaffis forces were overrunning the rebels and were well on their way to benghazi off the back of their armored corps and air superiority, it was the airstrikes that put a stop to that.
"The U.S. dropped an average of 72 bombs every day — the equivalent of three an hour — in 2016, according to an analysis of American strikes around the world."[1]

US, UK and France dropped so many bombs on Lybia they ran out and Germany happily restocked them.[2]

There's probably no overarching policy on this and every site is doing what they think is best. Even if the "one card, one dose" situation was true, there are enough spoiled doses for most sites to have extras. While I don't doubt that the parent comment was being truthful, it's not a reasonable policy given how easy it is for those cards to get spoiled, misplaced, stolen, etc. The worker who told the parent commenter that their card cannot be replaced was likely making things up on the fly or had been told that by someone else who made it up for whatever reason.
Backend will always be around. Business need their data stored somewhere, and business logic applied to it. We've moved to providing APIs rather than sever side rendering but thats about it.

Data scientists are good at analysing the data. But they're not experts in encoding business logic in code.

Why do you think it's disappearing?
Future devs? More like future me... how can I build this so I can change it or fix it when PM decides against it in 2 weeks?

Gerrit handles this perfectly - you can just add the third commit to your stack (and even amend the earlier ones) and it works as expected, adding it to the relation chain.
I wish more managers and business stakeholders investigated this more carefully. Team members of this type add a shadow overhead that impacts velocity dramatically. It’s always visible to average competent devs on the team, but can be invisible to managers who don’t investigate as to why only one person is particularly productive on the team. Most people won’t go to their bosses and say ‘so and so writes overly complicated code that’s making my life a living hell’.

In fact, I think a third-party auditor would be a valuable service for dev teams to utilize at least once a year. Totally neutral party that can come in and say ‘We’re pretty sure the codebase is too complex and we noticed the commits came from so and so’. The business value here is you can root-cause velocity issues that can come from decent people who need to be reigned in (not necessarily fired).

I’m literally prepared to pay to have these people objectively assessed.
I have the opposite view.

Is AI as a field not destined for destruction? There were good stuff, but it's been out for a while and now it's just mountains upon mountains of crap.

They’ve recently started using the term “BIPOC” to clarify that Asians are excluded, and when they want to include Asians they’ll say “BIPOC and AAPI”.

Of course this is the case. Business give better customers better treatment.

Where people haven’t seemed to have learned their lesson with this is with airlines and to a lesser extent hotels. People will just buy the cheapest ticket, which is completely fine if that’s what you want or need to do, but they then complain that the airlines don’t bend over backwards when things go awry.

Example: you have to check in to international flights 60 minutes or more before the flight leaves (from the US). This is a reasonably strict rule. I once arrived 45 minutes prior and they checked me in anyway. I give that airline a lot of business and they know it.

So I order a lot of packages from Amazon and have had zero problems with returns and cancellations but almost all my purchases are low end.

For, say, new electronics, I’ll just go straight to B&H or Adorama. Or even Best Buy.

Why is Amazon allowed to conflate inventory (Fulfilled by Amazon) without any legal issues? It almost seems they’re above the law. Why would they be legally required to follow customer protection laws?

Because the companies might just stop accepting them or actually start fighting. Also the current state is good for both merchants and credit cards. Issues are quietly solved and problems go away, permanently.
That is frequently misinterpreted to mean use dependencies instead of writing code. It’s all the same to the product.
> "At graduate level, you should cultivate [peers and a concentration] such that your intellectual correspondence is publishable." ... I did not take it at the time as immediately translatable into a [simply translated?] phrase I have heard since: "friendship corruption."

This seems misguided, and I certainly hope that this 'friendship corruption' concept never catches on. There are great papers that started as letters and were later completed by the sender, recipient or both. No one should feel ashamed about that, and no one should feel ashamed of developing friendships with their colleagues.

I would say every physicist believes they are an engineer...
It’s generally the same price that anyone else has, with the exception of small items like cabling or accessories. It can be hard to get a price-match on that type of thing, because the brands are more niche/whitelabel.

I think Best Buy is the absolute best ;) place to buy a TV; good prices, huge selection, always handled carefully. YMMV!
i was debugging some very terse, elegant, and dense code. i added a bunch of logging throughout to understand what was going wrong.

someone then removed all of my logging because it was ugly.

and then had to put it all back in when another bug was coming from the same terse beautiful code.
I’m kind of like that but in the other direction. I disable JavaScript on everything by default, and if I run into a website or a blog that won’t work without JavaScript, most of the time I just give up and leave the site instead of enabling JavaScript for that specific domain.
Nothing wrong with making it up as you go, and I didn't mean to sound like I was knocking it, if I did. Sometimes everyone fumbles around trying to find solutions that work...it's a totally valid way to approach some problems.

Sometimes it's a hybrid of knowing what you are doing but not knowing the implementation specifics. You know you need to connect high-level pieces A, B, and C with specific constraints, but it won't be until you get into the low-level implementation that you'll know if it is indeed possible. I think that's an example of both having a vision and also improvising as you go.

I am concerned about how to effectively communicate visions to people, because it gets everyone rowing in the same direction. If nobody thinks that you have a vision, when you do, there is no reason they should choose your direction vs just do their own thing.
I've thought about that but never went through with it. I think I got used to the routine and ritual of drinking coffee. But might try the pill, as nespresso pods are expensive as hell.
It's clearly not true in all circumstances. You can bet that an airline pilot has a very clear idea of what they are doing, and so will your dentist. Closer to home there are plenty of sub-fields in software where I'd be completely lost but when (say) we have to add a new endpoint to the webservice I work with, I absolutely don't have to make it up as I go along.

Your assessment of why people like to believe this seems spot on.
I know how some can see it as shady or misleading, but I still prefer it. That is, I prefer having the price baked in, right in front of me...no surprises. Versus some indy site I'll think 'oh only six bucks? sure I'll try it' only to be shown it's actually closer to 20 after shipping and tax. That just wastes both our time.

Further, even if it's a hair more expensive, I'll still pay it for the no hassle returns. I recently purchased a knife I saw on Amazon, but decided to go through the seller's official site to save a couple dollars. It was not worth it, and not something I'll do again.
>The Chiles filed a credit card dispute and made a crime report, and after The Denver Channel made its own inquiries and the Chiles tried emailing Amazon owner Jeff Bezos directly, Amazon relented and said that the $7,000 will be refunded once the credit card dispute had been resolved.

It sounds like Amazon refused to refund their money until the media got involved.

Also, even if that were not the case, a big part of what Amazon sells is convenience and (supposedly) great customer service. If you pay $7,000 only to receive an empty box, and you provide Amazon with evidence from UPS that the box's weight was less than the weight of the actual product, that should be all it takes to get your money back.

Jumping through hoops with your credit card company and filing a police report should be the last resort for dealing with shitty companies that won't listen to anything but threats. There is no reason that the buyer should have to do that when dealing with a reputable company, especially when they have evidence from the shipper that the box did not contain the product they ordered.

I think you’re reading way too deeply into this. You’re referring to the Tim Hunt quote linked?

Everything is about control or manipulation - its implicit to the human condition.
Sounds like you just described places like Buc-ees.
Yes, I've found that a useful way around this is to go back to the non-technical user and ask them why. Why do you want to do this? Why do you want to do this in this manner?

That usually either gives the implementor enough information to wholeheartedly agree with the proposed solution, or to suggest something more appropriate.
This drove me crazy when I lived in Berlin.

I did some research and you don't have to put up with it. Contact Amazon DE customer service and tell them to put a note on your account that you do not consent to any changes to the delivery address. Legally you don't even have to do this but it makes the next calls go easier.

If DHL leaves your package someplace else, like with a neighbor, that is between DHL and Amazon has to sort out.

When next package was left with at a nearby building, I immediately contacted Amazon and informed them my package was not delivered to the correct address. I refused any and all suggestions that I go look for the package. I just repeatedly asked when I can expect delivery to the correct order address. They ended up shipping a replacement.

After standing my ground on this a few times with Amazon, DHL stopped leaving my packages with other people.

DHL doesn't their best to push last mile delivery costs onto you but you don't have to accept it.

The classic paper on this is Standing’s 1973 “Learning 10,000 pictures.”

The title really says it all: subjects shown up to 10,000 pictures (once, for a five seconds apiece) remembered a substantial fraction of them two days later. This is somewhat specific to images (and even moreso for “vivid” ones); people did worse with dictionary words.

However, one important detail is that subjects were told to pay careful attention to the stimuli; they were repeatedly reminded that a memory test was coming up.

I once ordered a DSLR camera kit from Amazon for around $750. It had a bunch of lenses but the lens adapter it was suppose to come with was missing. The adapter cost about $15 so I reported it was missing the adapter and asked if they could either send me one or refund me $15 so I could buy one off Amazon. They gave me 2 choices instead of reading my request, return it or accept a partial refund of 30%. I accepted the partial refund because I didn't want to return/re-order the camera kit and hope that it doesn't happen again. I felt kind of bad accepting such a large refund for a small problem.
I don't know. Possibly it's simply because when you accept a career in the thing you're passionate about the thing you're passionate about becomes work.

Another thought that has occurred to me of late: when I started in this field it was "Computers" (capital "C") — a thing really by nerds, for nerds. Increasingly it's the web, mobile. Our "customers" are increasingly not us and so the decisions that would have come so readily to us on how to proceed, what features to implement are instead handed down to us from design, marketing....

The Middle East has always been like that, nothing new. The extremists already exist in Saudi Arabia, a lot of the human rights violations are simply authoritarian actions to suppress extremists. It has really been a mess, what good could the USA or Europe accomplish? Getting involved just means more mistakes, probably more bad than good as it is now.

Sometimes I drink black tea (earl grey or something similar), but I don't feel it has the same effect as coffee. On a quick search here it seems coffee might have almost twice (or more) as much caffeine as coffee, so that might be it. Which is sad, because I actually like tea better.
That hurt me to read! Have you communicated this to your manager? Might be worthwhile to have a decision "from the top" that is essentially: all logging is good, so long as it doesn't hurt performance or contain PII/PHI.

I might be naive, but Michael Levin[1] is the type of scientist I imagine when I think of the revolutionary scientists of the past. It's quite refreshing to see such bold initiatives being undertaken.

I'm curious to see who others see in a similar light, and what they're working on.

> Well, I wonder if this could force people to start publishing their code so others can replicate the results. This would help greatly with the kinds of issues that are being discussed:

The real solution to the problem is to set a rule that says if you use a lab's published code base AT ALL for new work, you must cite the people who produced it along with the PI of that lab. No exceptions; acknowledgements don't count. Labs (especially those outside of CS such as life sciences labs) view code as IP and they don't want to release their code bases for two reasons: First, they don't think they will be properly cited when people use it (valid concern). Second, they think that they will lose their monopoly on future publications using the code base (less valid concern). Mandatory citation would solve both of those problems. Until a rule like this is in place, most labs will fight you tooth and nail on releasing code.
As with all dictatorships, a statistical good dictator is better than statistical democracy (economically and long-term for the people). But the problems caused by a statistical malicious dictatorship could get out of hand, and for the whole world outside as well.
The sunk-cost focus of just getting people to pay for a membership to something and then they care about getting the most out of their membership… that would be an issue on its own, though not massively distorting.

The rest of the behind-the-scenes stuff is appalling.

I fear that doing anything about this relies mainly on bad experiences. The harder it is to find a good product or the more commonly a low-quality knock-off makes people unhappy, the more they will actually listen to these other complaints about all the problems with Amazon. If Amazon can figure out how to keep customers having mostly positive experiences of finding things they want and being happy with them, it will be very difficult to get the public support needed to push back on all the problems.

Lousy bread and boring circuses make it much easier to build movements for change. Artisan bread and excellent circuses really are probably enough to keep people from wanting to rock the boat (sorry for the mixed metaphor).
I agree that jokes can be subversive; I don’t agree (perhaps you don’t either) that subversive speech (jokes or otherwise) merit termination, which is to say I’m not an authoritarian. With respect to racism, I don’t doubt that there are too many racist jokes, but the Twitter sphere tends to miss those in favor of jokes which are decidedly “antiracist” i.e., jokes which make fun of racism (whether left-wing racism or right-wing racism).
This sentiment is exactly why programming in an org-chart is so much different than programming as an individual.

Don't apply corporate best practice designed to withstand turnover to personal programming - you're leaving abstraction and efficiency on the table.

The better code for your own projects is almost definitely inscrutable to a newcomer a lot of the time. It's okay for there to be prerequisites to understanding.
I've recently found a podcast called "your favorite band sucks" that's along these lines. They have real criticisms of popular bands, but it's also a bit tounge-in-cheek. It's a nice contrast to the typical worship of rock bands. I think it's healthy to be able to enjoy something, or be inspired by someone, without buying into the mythology.
Unpopular Opinion: people making these sexist jokes do actually think they are jokes. They aren't using them to push people down. Most people are nice people and don't realise they are being assholes and pushing people down.

On the other hand it's completely fair that people feel pushed down by them.

HOWEVER - this entire social justice movement is being used to outsource getting into conflict, and standing up for yourself. My guess is 80-90% of the time if you told someone who made a sexist joke that you are hurt by it, they would apologise (sincerely), and probably not do it again. But for that people actually need to get into a conflict situation, which is hard.

But it would make life a lot easier if we just sorted out these issues at the source, with two people, explaining what hurts and why to someone.

This modern solution of going to HR or to Twitter is not constructive to society, it creates massive divides, it also creates cowardly behaviour rather than encouraging actual people to talk to each other.
Domain related applications aren't what's studied by "Computer Scientists." You will note that most people who do "domain related" applications call them selves Software developers, Software engineers, etc. etc.

If someone finds themselves calling themselves "Computer scientist" they are indeed usually exclusively studying the logic game.
What about switching to seltzer you can mix with caffeine powder? If you look you should be able to find a “cola” flavored one which while not the same should at least be an approximation. From some quick googling it appears seltzer still has carbonic acid which ain’t great for your teeth but it’s not as bad as regular soda’s acid-combo [1].
