How do you block "all marketing"?

Do you have AR goggles that black out billboards on the side of the road? Signs inside of stores? Rounds .99 prices to the higher dollar? Headphones that drown out in-store music?

Do you somehow automatically detect and block sponsored content? Ads on podcasts that are spoken by the hosts themselves?

If you believe you've blocked "all marketing", you're the biggest mark I've ever met. It means you're unaware of the vast array of ways marketers reach you every single day.

There's no ad blocker in the world capable of blocking "all marketing". That's just an absurd statement.

And also, in that example, it actually seems to have worked, just not as much as they hoped, so obviously total failure, right?
It’s the heat not the time that causes BPA leaching.
Minor quibble: This implies that electricity only takes the path of least resistance. Electricity actually takes all available paths in inverse proportion to the impedance of the paths. This is why grounding rods don't keep you from being electrocuted. I'm looking at you, sketchy lamp-post.
It is not worth it if you need to send marketing campaigns in hundreds of mails per day or transactional email in hundreds that really needs to be delivered to corporate email boxes of "joe@megacorp.com".

For my personal e-mail most of the time I am just on receiving end. For receiving e-mail I don't see much problem. For receiving email only you don't need to setup any of the DKIM/SPF/DMARC stuff.

Occasionally I send some e-mail out but you are not going to be marked as spammer if you sent 1 e-mail a week from your IP address. Most likely it will be delivered and accepted by whatever provider receiving person is using, might be marked as spam - but well you probably can call up that person and ask them to check spam folder.

For spam - don't put your email into every web page that asks you to do it and you should be good. My gmail account that is now ~20 years old started to receive loads of spam only last year when email lists from various leaks started to go around internet. My other email accounts that get loads of spam are on shitty providers that send their own spam.
Tech school recruiters will tell you that they do, and staffing agencies might look for it. However, even with A+, they are more concerned about your experience. BTW they can ask you whether you used https://trusted-essayreviews.com/ . Have you ever used such services???
No one is totally self consistent, but it seems weird to me: the dems can't quite manage it on nuclear power which is about 1% of their platform. The Reps can manage it on abortion, guns or the budget, which is aboht 95% of their platform...
Many companies make claims over their employees' intellectual property. How much of a claim they actually have legally is a different question, which depends on the country (and sometimes state) where the employee works, and companies routinely attempt to claim more than they legally can.

Compare e.g. https://thebusinessprofessor.com/en_US/property-law/californ...

I bet Google lacks the copyright for many of the projects they claim.
>My country's population peaked in 1999, while its urbanization fell by almost one percentage point during the last decade, yet housing is getting more expensive at an alarming pace.

Metro areas in Poland are absolutely growing. The problem with part of your argument is twofold.

First, is the faith in official statistics. People moving to large cities for university/work almost never officially change their "zameldowanie" unless they get kids and want to find place in kindergarten.

Second, is the growth in "metro areas" compared to "urban areas". "Villages" such as Józefosław or Nowa Iwiczna have experienced extreme growth since 1999, and prices there directly affect prices in Warsaw. The same effect works in all metro areas except for Silesia.

You're 100% right in the rest of the post though.

Kurnaz is a turkish citizen.
The book "Seeing like a state" gives some powerful examples on what we loose when we use incomplete models instead of observing reality and actually using local knowledge. It gels very much with your point and IMO should be mandatory reading for any stem person in order to not confuse the map with the territory and be appropriately humble on what we model
You're right, benchmarks have shown that probing is better until you reach ~90% capacity. Cuckoo hashing sufferers from terrible memory locality, and you can only make up for it when a probing table would have worse locality.
My biggest peeve is that the Bluetooth toggle doesn’t ape you to turn Bluetooth off completely. It only puts it in some low power idle mode or something.

The decision was made for apple watch and airpods to keep the connection I think.

To turn Bluetooth really off, one has to go to settings > Bluetooth, then toggle.
There is such a facility, not far away from me. Though not that much free space around it anymore.

1) Please read Fooled by randomness book. Your friend won Russian Roulette. You want to try too?

2) Your friendship is essentially over. Cherish the past and let him go. Find friends in near about your income bracket. Better if they are poor than you by some margin

3) Read Stoicism

4) Focus on you and your family's wellbeing. Blood is thicker than water. So stop wasting time on who is digging hole where and how much deep and look after your hole and start digging your own hole. Metaphorically !
I was quite impressed by Rory Stuart, it’s a shame he didn’t survive the political chaos of 2019 because ideology aside he seemed to have a wider worldview than his fellow passengers of the traditional Eton to Oxbridge to the Cabinet social pipeline.
Why would you ever want to turn bluetooth off?

If we're giving shout-outs I would like to give one to etlegacy* - the assets needed from Wolf:ET are not open but the engine/game/mod etc all are.

AFAIK Unity has scene tree(items on table belong to table for example), so it seems compatible. Usually 3D transforms work on scene subtrees.
I think part of it is also a “safety net” of sorts for the oligarch buyers. If your corrupt government goes under or if you fall out of favor it’s likely your assets will be seized but it’s much harder for your opponents to seize your condo on the other side of the world.

I don’t think crypto is the answer though. If anything it’s allowing the issue to continue. Vancouver, for example, recently implemented AML requirements for real estate transactions and crypto’s major selling point is allowing users to avoid compliance with that sort of pesky regulation.
I remember being mad when they went to 'Communicator'. Like: no! I want to use a web browser, not a pile of other garbage bolted on, and I already have an email program, and what the hell is this?
...but how did you pick your broker? If you're using a broker, you're not choosing the insurance company. So telling us that the insurance company's marketing has no effect on you is a moot point: You passed the buck to your broker.

And how did your broker choose them? How did they choose which insurance companies to work with? Do you know for a fact that they took every possible source of insurance into account when providing you with recommendations?

Sounds to me like you may be naive about just how much of an effect marketing has your purchase decisions. It's not always as obvious as a jingle.
>I was born in Moldova, but if I committed terrorism, no one would think blame a nation I have not lived in since I was 2.

What if you've all been in Moldova until a year before the attack like the actual terrorists?
America convinced their young to get art theater degrees and work at Starbucks instead of learning how to build stuff. I’m guessing that had a much larger impact than tax policy.

Good luck taking Google to court.
It can, but right now it's up to developers to implement it and they just don't bother.
How did this make it to the front page with the very real concerns going on? Its about extremely minor UX issues that while annoying aren't exactly equivalent to the privacy issues right now iOS users are dealing with.

The author clearly used the fact most people never click on a link to read it to their advantage to get an incredibly meh blog post to the front.
There’s a difference between: unrelated to your job, and unrelated to the business as a whole.

In some locations, employers can’t claim copyright on works unrelated to your current role.
What is amazing is TSMC is just the integrator of all the technology from different technology company.
It is also an asset you can borrow against.

Once you get past a particular point with money, debt becomes a tool, not something you do to get something. Paying back debt is considered a business expense. Once you see that and you understand that you can work the tax system to pay less in taxes. Rent is just a bonus. Sometimes they will set the rent high just so they do not have to mess with it.

One of the few things that 2016 tax plan did was to put a cap on how much you could write off in many conditions.
I'd rather not make this political, but should one be suspicious of something coming from a specific political party (in this case the GOP) rather than a neutral/bipartisan source?

It seems the GOP are continually trying to pin this on the Chinese government. Even the introduction is a bit leading in my opinion:

> Until that time, it must be
assumed General Secretary Xi and the Chinese Communist Party, prioritizes preserving the Party
over the lives of its own people and those around the global suffering the effects of the COVID-19

It's not natural for any mammal to keep producing milk. So it's unlikely that the cow had a "sweet and free life".

Cows are forcefully inseminated and once born their calves are taken away.

How would you feel if someone kept you in a Matrix-like farm to harvest energy or protein from you?
This is a terrible article.

Even if you drill down to the specific point "some people aren't sure vacancy taxes will help", there is a near total lack of anything remotely resembling an explanation for why they think that might be true. The closest thing is an analysis of Vancouver and how some people hoped it would help vacancy rates more but it didn't.

Well, you know what else fits that description in spades? Adding supply. Everybody says "build more housing and the prices will come down" and... they don't. The 2nd derivative bends, prices increase more slowly but they do. not. drop. until the demand side does. But you don't see anybody writing Bloomberg articles about how we shouldn't build more or saying some economists are not so sure adding supply works.

People are sure adding supply works because it fits a simple model. And it probably does help more than not adding supply, even if the financial dynamics are such that it only produces mild effects.

Vacancy taxes deserve at least as much currency in these discussions. And probably more if this article is an example of a substantial case against them.
Article claims it's simultaneously a failure and that it hasn't been tried yet, but will be but will be soon.

It's kind of convincing me more that Bloomberg doesnt want for it to be seen to be working.
A bit of an amateurish article with 3 paragraphs. I don't see why this is on Hacker News.
75% of B2B buyers prefer to self-educate rather than go through a demo
Requiring it for every command by default sucks, but on the other hand, the ability to easily make scripts async is a huge benefit.

I've seen so many cases of processes being synchronous simply because doing it differently would require an unrealistic amount of custom parallelism code.
These processes are explicitly not about logic parts like CPUs or GPUs, but analog/power/mixed-signal parts, which don't benefit from smaller node sizes. Many of these parts are made on 0.12/0.18 µm or even bigger nodes because anything smaller is pointless.

> Generally, TSMC’s speciality technologies portfolio includes MEMS, CMOS Image Sensor, Embedded NVM, RF, Analog, High Voltage, and BCD-Power processes.
The same could be said for nearly every pioneer of the sky (and sea) and for most explorers in general. Many died, and we celebrate the successes for de-risking that frontier for the rest of us.

> his efforts could have been used somewhere else.

I take your sentiment to be heartfelt, but putting one's competitive advantage to the collective above one's dreams sounds rather joyless. Anyway, the Market provides ample incentive to abandon dreams and chase one's maximum value; perhaps it just wasn't offering enough in this man's case.
I thought that was clear from me saying “The Pakistani ISI, and the US by proxy,”. If it wasn’t clear, the US (specifically the CIA) absolutely provided money and equipment to the ISI (basically the Pakistan version of the FBI and CIA for anyone that doesn’t know) for them to use to train and equip mujahedeen fighters.

But the ISI was not run by the CIA. Pakistan had, and still has, their own agenda and priorities that do not align with the US. So if you are implying that the ISI funding of the Taliban must have actually been the CIA, that is not supported by the evidence.
Maybe because people are still naming their identifiers "x" and such, and "new Foo()" could be some arbitrary expression?

Or maybe just because C# is a TIMTOWTDI language?

C# looks indeed quite baroque to me. But as I'm not doing any C# I don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing in practice.

OTOHS I guess less complexity in a language is generally to be preferred compared to having more flexibility doing the same thing.
Japan was "shock and awe" done (strategically, not morally) right. The US fire-bombed Tokyo and nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leaving no question in the Japanese mind of who was the overwhelmingly superior force. There was no honor in death fighting such a force; there was only oblivion with nothing left to remember you by. The Japanese happily accepted rule by a "gaijin shogun" rather than face that kind of defeat. And MacArthur turned out to be a rather magnanimous shogun, even arranging for the Emperor to avoid liability for his role in the war and especially Pearl Harbor so that the Japanese had something of their traditional order to cling to during the American occupation and beyond.

The political will to commit to that level of destruction and rebuilding hasn't existed since then.

Iraq begat ISIS. Iraq was a clusterfuck since 1990.
This! 100% this! We're all actively participating in Y Combinator's marketing right now, as we argue about whether marketing has any effect on we, the superior nerds. The irony is thick.
Both the UX and the privacy issues on iOS are symptoms of the user having absolutely no control (zero) of the system software.
1) that's completely irrelevant, if there is a toggle switch for bluetooth, then changing it to off should switch bluetooth....off. I hate Apple constantly pretending they know better what I want to do with my device than I do. If there is a use case here(keeping BLE working for watches and trackers...then make this option explicit in settings)

2) Since I imagine you'd like an example anyway - because I want to prevent my device from automatically connecting to headphones/speakers/cars that it has been paired to in the past.

Is it actually unlimited data though? It doesn't say if they throttle at high usage, that'd be a dealbreaker for me.
Hello I know that many times one does not control what can happen to us but I wanted to seek opinions through the service of the following page https://personalinjuryattorney-fresno.com/personal-injury/ca... is that a few ago months I had a car accident, but it has not been clear and they still do not give an insurance resolution. I would like to know if someone else has taken care of those people and how well it has been for you.

Ask HN: Being a developer, do you face anything similar to writer's block?
I have been trying to implement a feature lately and got quite stuck in the best way to implement the same. I still kind of having a wavering mind on the right implementation which holds me back from moving forward. That's when I got intrigued that whether any one else face the scenario and if faced, what would be the way to overcome the same?
In fact, they just had a release:)
It's a little bit more complicated.
Because Kurnaz is a turkish citizen Turkey had been responsible for his return.
They refused and Germany did not want to admit him because his residence permit had expired and he had not renewed it during his imprisonment in Guantanamo as required. This reason was given by Hans-Georg Maaßen, the head of the department responsible at the time in the Federal Ministry of the Interior and later head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution before he became the CDU's far-right candidate
Low Code and No Code platforms transform the whole premise though. They do make it easy to "show it how to attach a fastener, then walk away".

Too bad, as developers, we scorn those platforms instead of improving them to the point we'd be obsolete.
Announced by who? The United World Government?

And who exactly are you forcing? Now it’s ISPs, in your previous comment is was websites.

Anyway, it’s not enough to force one participant. If you are going IPv6-only by decree, you have to replace all end user devices too.

Who is going to pay for all the new routers, game consoles, nanny cams, etc? I’m sure that container ships’ worth of PS5s is going to go well over in the appropriations committee.

The truth is, it’s too late in the game for an IPv6 flag day. Too many people and too much money involved.
Just keep fingers away from moving things in general.

There's a lot of edge cases where you can get away with it but it's a bad habit to get into.

That said, the people who complain that literally every bit of content with a power tool doesn't start with the introductory lecture about safety need to go stick their hand in a wood chipper. That's like asking for every math class to start by reiterating basic arithmetic. It's an unnecessary drag on everyone for nothing. The people who need to be told to wear safety glasses aren't watching a youtube video on how to build a race car cage, they're not at that level, and the people who are watching it don't need to be told.
It's insane how many nuclear explosions occur unreported on this planet
bluetooth beacon tracking in retail settings
I think a much bigger concern is the ecosystem.

The node ecosystem is built around having third-party dependencies for everything, which makes it impossible to meaningfully vet the code you're running, and once a dependency gets hijacked, all its dependencies are screwed too.
I owned one of these, not as good as a Psion 5MX that preceded if year before. Sure this was an all in one but no, always laughed at the ariel and the thing felt like you could almost use it as an ice-pick with the ariel folded down and the unit closed. But hey, was neat - just the usual issues of these open/close designs was the ribbon cable to connect the screen - those always seem to fail outside warranty period.

But crux was, this was too dam expensive and heck a few years later Blackberry would have it's moment and that did more for the market than the Nokia communicator ever did. Heck the IBM Simon did more than the Nokia did for pushing things or about the same lack-lustre uptake.
FWIW I got my communicator for free from a friend who orded one and got two with the company failing to take back the second one in a period of time that made it legally his (he notified in writing so was 3months, maybe 6).

I would also ad the Sony P800 was more game changer as well than the nokia communicator. Also owned that and for the era - pretty darn good.
Thanks for bringing that up. The shift to using the pipe operator has been an intriguing development in the community, and I've given some thought to what it implies about the difficulty of programming in functional syntax.

The pipe operator helps if you have a clean sequence of steps and each function returns only the needed input for the next step. The code becomes just as unwieldy if an argument isn't in the right position, so you have to splice in a lambda, or you have to split cases on the result, in which case you have to do something monadic if you want to avoid deeper nesting. All of which looks like unnecessary friction when I know perfectly well in my head what the computation needs to do after each step.

Also, when you have the pipe operator in your toolbox you now have a decision between two styles of coding that are basically inside-out from each other.
If we are going to discuss or compare privacy with iOS and Android we should look at the privacy issues of Android.

While I am bothered by the latest privacy issues with iOS, I also realize that Android is terrible at privacy. Right now there is no mainstream option with good privacy.

To be honest, I don't know what I wouldv'e done with it, being 12 years old.
