It looks like that they no longer work for Microsoft anymore. Weren't they making some not so great comments before the FBI investigation though?
did you mean 0day exploit authors? otherwise, wouldn't the actual authors of the 0day be Apple employees on the iOS team?
That looks legit.
I think we need a much deeper understanding of consciousness before I’m comfortable with scientific arguments ruling things out. Science is greatest when it’s humble about what it knows and doesn’t. (It’s through this humility that science leads to deeper understanding than doctrine.)

Relatedly, NDE stories can be incredibly compelling. YouTube of course has many at the ready. It’s definitely not rigorous nor science, but does seem like something could be there.
so what foods did you cut out, and what foods do you regularly eat?

After finding out browser extensions can be dangerous, I removed AdBlock. Does anyone know the if AdBlock is safe? Are there any alternatives?
I think the spammers (actually scammers) just got smarter since bitcoin scam and crypto locker are profitable. I think they create a “burner” gmail account and first train google spam filters to think that gmail account is valid (short email conversations, not links, etc. for about year). Then they burn the account in few days. And then next one…

I heard that one gang makes/burns 1000+ gmail addressed per day.
I feel like a lot of cloud platform tutorials out there should start with having you create a billing alarm that emails you when the bill crosses a reasonable but higher than expected amount. For basic tutorials, that might be something like $20.
One thing I want to say is that while the clouds are frustrating at the end of the day, in-house premise solutions sometimes share the same caveats (Little support for small users, gigantic mazes of solutions with little doc, etc.). I think once you reach certain level of complexity these issues pop up eventually.

One major difference perhaps is on the expenses, but are you sure you are hiring the right number of engineers and paying the right amount of $$ for those software and machines?

To provide some context: I figured eventually the configuration as code will reach the point that essentially people start to implement their own DSLs. When new people join they are easentially config boys/girls who needs to spend a lot of time to learn and unlearn a few DSLs created by the smartest guy/gal in the company who moved on to greemer pasteries...
> Plenty of cheap and green power

Incorrect. All of the hydropower is used as present, so any extra marginal load added to NZ causes extra gas usage (or coal sometimes). If the lakes are full and water is being sent down spillways, then perhaps you can get free power, but that is rare.

Also note that lots of people think transmission losses are heavy, but actually they are less than 10%. For example HVDC transmission losses are ~3% per 1,000km (the DC link from Benmore to Wellington)
Also, recruiters sends large numbers of similar emails so they look like a spammer to the filters. Then if people who get them just mark them a spam rather than deleting or responding, the problem is compounded.
If the permission system is truly the same setup as microphone and camera access, that includes asking for permission on every new access session and an easy location on the menu bar to revoke permissions again.
Show HN: I'm using a nocode comm tool
orignally shared this on startup school... i thought id' share it here.

i'm using a `nocode communication tool` (a web-based interface... a single browser tab!) for all of these things:

1. landing page — the landing page is the product and i wanted for folks to feel "transported" right into the app without having to walk through a shitty b2b marketing-style content. this is akin to my experience back in the `BBS` days of the mid-90's where you were immediately into the app, community, and tool. no terms of service, no privacy policy. just pure, immediate value.

2. building community — we talk about life and startups and the metaverse and bitcoin and writing and all of the things that i love to think about and talk about! since this is my workspace (they are called "yeniverses") i want to love it more than anyone else. and as an artist, i want to love it even more. so, the community that's there every single day is there because they like these topics and want to talk and discuss them with me. this is nice because no one is really there that doesn't want to be there... instead, these are highly-qualified community members (and customers). it naturally weeds out folks who aren't interested in those things.

3. a feedback system on the product — using a simple `public` room (which you can see at the very [bottom](https://john.do/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screen-Shot-2021-09-23-at-7.35.25-PM.png)) i can get direct feedback on the product itself which is the most important part in the very early-stage... i just want to know what works and what doesn't and then i can make those changes and fixes immediately. this is also super-useful because my entire team also can engage with the community and see, for themselves, the needs / wants / wishes / desires of the community at-large. this fixes a lot of the problems where team members are too distant or removed from their customers, which is a common problem as teams scale and grow. keeping this in the same interface as #4 is a total win.

4. internal communication with my team / contractors (slack replacement) — this is probably one of the best parts is that i can use as many `private rooms` as i need to communicate with my fully-distributed team in both real-time and async. i use it for my development team that's helping to build the product as well as unique private rooms for contract teams and special projects. i can create them quickly, invite via email (any email works so you don't have to lock-in any specific domain) and then just get to work. delete them when you're done.

(cont'd in the first comment...)
I’m very into stuff like this, and I really can’t make heads or tails of what this post is about. There’s a ton of hand waving, and a ton of words, but why not use them to explain exactly what this thing is doing?
5. one-one-one coaching via private messages! — i get to do one-on-one coaching and engagement with my community members as they enter into the space and engage with the community / product. this "white glove" type of experience helps me learn their specific needs as well as give them true value, as best as i can. i can go in-depth with members and really connect with them in authentic ways. sometimes this results in a "sale" (purchasing a subscription to one of the `paid rooms`) but mostly it's about just "doing things that don't scale" and making sure that i have immediate and direct access with my customer.

6. monetization via paid rooms around specific topics / themes! — since we're bootstrapped and proud we need to also make a bit of money and so one of the base feature primitives is `paid rooms`. just like public and private, you can easily create these, choose a price, and go! users can quickly add their own credit card (we use stripe rn ) and sign-up with one-click. we're currently test-driving that in our own yeniverse (you can see the the [build workflow here](https://john.do/paid-rooms-beta/)) and we're going to open this up for artists and creators and small business owners soon. a lot of folks are using this for not just creating gated, paid / mvp / behind-the-scenes experiences but also selling product... a user buys access to the room and then gets shipped a product or swag. a bit counter-intuitive at first but this is better because you want them to be a paying community member (subscription) more than just a one-time buyer (single transaction). this combination of product > community is very unique to the platform.
7. it's all free and focused— as a boostrapped startup i need to save money and [YEN](http://yen.chat) is free to use, forever...
... all in one single browser tab.

i don't want to have to be on all these insane places all the time when i really just need to focus 100% on my community and customers. consequently, i'm not active on any web 2.0 / social media network and instead spend 100% of my time in this product and community space. this saves me TONS of time and pressure and anxiety of trying to just "tweet to randos" besides the fact that they are algorithmically-controlled feeds... so you don't even know if your work is being seen! i think that's bullshit and YEN doesn't have any algo-feeds and doesn't profit on pixel tracking, retargeting, anyone's data or the traditional BS biz models; yen doesn't track anything and you know with 100% confidence that what you post is seen by every single person in that room. that's a bit why we consider it a part of web 3.
... in a single browser tab.

i hope others can be inspired by this use-cases and use it for themselves for success! lmk if you have any questions!

note:
1. i do use github with my team... so, technically, i have two browser tabs that are pinned. L(° O °L)

Oh me too. That horrible "mythical beasts" tutorial. I thought I removed it, and then each month for the next two months I'd get nailed for 50? dollars or so.

By definition, I don't understand AWS, so figuring out how to turn it off was nearly impossible. AWS "support" didn't exist. Stackoverflow AWS geeks were in high dudgeon that I'd ask the question, "how do i disable this?" and would kill my question. Finally some kind soul did give me the trick to finding the last service to disable.

BTW the tutorial is absolutely useless. Just a thousand different incantations to repeat. No real understanding communicated. Felt more like an ad for myriad services.

0/10 would not recommend.
The current rumored dosage for covid is 0.4-0.6mg/kg, which is 2-3x the typical dosage used for treating parasites (in humans and animals). The LD50 in humans is unknown, but is estimated to be >10mg/kg. That's a remarkable safety margin.

Overdosing is not a concern of mine. Efficacy is my primary concern.

Many recruiters are sending their emails from a system, not writing them by hand. They look they came from a template, because they did.

Add to that that when that recruitment system was implemented, the recruiter probably didn't bother updating/customizing the default templates, making their emails just the same as everyone else's.
> Edit: Would also be interested to know if there's a way police could work with Tesla or other autopilot carmakers to broadcast special codes like don't-hit-us-here-is-our location, or just send a signal blocking autopilot, or whatever. They already send texts and radio alerts, and there are already local AM alert stations in the US anyway.

I think that's solving the wrong problem, as the rest of your comment implies it's just as important to not hit other stationary objects like, say, another Tesla that has decided it's going to stop in the middle of the road[1].

You can do a lot more damage with someone's bank account than you can by exploding their phone.
I agree. Apple is doing right by their users by empowering them and informing them. This hurts Facebook because their business model relies on ignorance and obfuscation. It's collateral damage.
This move alone will keep me buying iOS devices: any move that attempts to curb FB (would be nice if the company folded and ceased to exist but …) is laudable by me.

I would not hold my breath... it's been like this for decades at least.
"Saying "hey", then typing the next message is the worst"

Pro-tip if you're one of those: If you look at the slack interface, there's not a lot of visual difference between two messages in a row, and a single message separated by two newlines (SHIFT-Enter if you don't know how to enter those).

It looks exactly the same to type "Hey.\n\nJust wanted to check up on the status of the de-fooification project. How's that going?" as it is to send those as two separate messages, it looks just as polite on the screen, and it's way less annoying.
A law put in place to provide conservative opinion affirmative action, while studies looking at political content find that leftist and centrist political content is already penalized, and conservative content is boosted. The law appears to be based entirely on belief and not fact.
This has been my life for the last year:

- Customer asks for something trivial to be deployed. I say, "no problem" and start beavering away on a Bicep template or whatever to deploy their stuff.

- I hit some small but showstopper issue with a service that I expected to work, but it doesn't. I open a support ticket.

- Inevitably, it turns out to be some stupid, stupid limitation caused by unfathomable laziness of the Azure developers. No workaround, no mitigation, but we're "working on it" with no ETA offered.

- Literally years later a trivial fix for the glaring issue goes into "PREVIEW" for 9 months, long after the original project was closed. I no longer care...

Networking is especially bad, with endless limitations that make no sense, like:

IPv6 is incompatible with everything. Turning it on for anything anywhere in a vNET will permanently block unrelated features like IPv4 NAT.

But of course, you can't "protocol translate" from IPv6 on the outside to IPv4 on the inside, so you end up painted into a corner.

No bring-your-own-subnet, which means many lift & shift scenarios are impossible (we have customers using a class B pubic range internally).

Azure forces NAT on IPv6, which makes no sense at all.

All Azure PaaS services have firewalls that are IPv4 only.

The built-in firewalls (e.g.: Azure SQL Database) do not support service tags, only CIDRs.

I could go on and on...
Oh, don't worry, I had the same panel self refresh problem with my Dell on Windows.

You would rather they toss your resume rather than give you a chance to explain?

This seems like a more desirable outcome than then reading your resume and making a decision without further input from you.
You can do Fargate with EKS now too, but it has sizing limitations that aren’t present in ECS last time I tried.
If the email is from an organization I have interacted with and it offers unsubscribe, I will use that the first time. If they don’t stop, then they get the spam tag.

If an unsolicited email contains no unsubscribe, that is bad behavior and they get spam tagged immediately.

I also have a first.last@gmail.com address and am continually amazed at the number of people with my name who don’t seem to know their own email address and submit mine for job applications and accounts that they surely wanted to keep.
You're of course welcome to your opinion, but I think you're pretty out of touch with how most people would react, and they're not "mentally ill".
Microsoft is hardly unique in that respect. All three of the big cloud providers are like that in some respect, as well as a lot of "enterprise" software. If you have a big enough moat to keep your customers from leaving, there isn't a lot of incentive to improve the quality.
Yeah, I mean there might be some survivorship bias here but my Grandmother always said something similar. "When you stop walking every day, you'll stop being able to walk!" - she's 90 now, and still does a circuit in her neighborhood at least every couple of days.

I do think there's something to it though - in Western society in general we don't do enough exercise, and the culture of retirement is to slow down and relax even more. Since it's so hard to regain muscle mass as you get older, I can see how it might be a "use it or lose it" kind of situation.

No, they decided to become the security risk and monetize it. They are inexorably linked to the problem.
Ughh don't trust the client! Why do games use bs like anti-cheat instead of running stuff server side.

Anti-cheat is spyware/malware in my opinion.

I wonder how tinygo works for wasm. I’m not sure how much of the bloat is runtime (which I assume is smallish) vs how much of the standard library is just included by default.
If the organization is legitimate, I find it usually works just fine. I usually only get such emails from organizations that I have recently started interacting with and that assume I want their newsletter. A simple unsubscribe fixes that. If I tagged it as spam, it would start to erode the ability of people who want this stuff to get it past the automated filters.

The privacy problem isn't that Chrome is offering this permission to websites, it's that they built it into the browser at all. Now their browser, regardless of whether you're using any websites with this permission granted or not, has code that tracks if you're idle or not.

There's no bar of entry whatsoever for this. Chrome will automatically update itself to Chrome 94 and voila - it tracks your idle status. Worse yet is if you try to complain, they can shift the conversation by saying the ability is there for websites behind a permission dialog, and of course they take user privacy seriously. Basically exactly what you've done!

I don't think it's paranoid to assume nefarious intent because web devs weren't asking for this functionality nor was it impossible before. You add a mouse listener to the page, you check document.hidden, etc. With so many techniques already available ask yourself: why did Google spend time building this? And why didn't they consult other web stakeholders?
> Your taxes may increase, decrease or stay the same.

That's because your actual taxes depend on the "millage rate" (i.e. dollars of tax per dollars of value) which can be adjusted at every budget cycle. That's equivalent to lowering (or raising) the capital gains tax - just because you realized $100k in CG every year, "your taxes may increase, decrease or stay the same".
I remember on ICQ I used to like to use the mode where you saw each character your partner typed. Google Wave was satisfying in that way too.
I know Google burns through user trust like it’s incense candles, and so people fear of losing their account access or features being deprecated without notice, but, I really think GCP is underrated. In GCP, it’s easy and best practice to group things into granular projects, and if you want to, you can shut down an entire project all at once. The billing story isn’t perfect, but it’s not bad either, and it’s not the only thing going for it.

I know I’m inviting replies airing grievances with GCP, and there certainly are many, but I’ve come to really like what it offers. Especially, GKE is really cool and at least to me feels very whole-assed as far as Kubernetes offerings go. Obviously that would make sense, but still, it really is nice to use.
Bug bounty programs are the antithesis of Apple's internal methodology, culture, and way of doing business. They keep everything close to the chest, they shun "outsiders", etc.. The idea that someone outside of Apple, from the unwashed masses, could find a flaw in Apple's own software is a pretty big pill for them to swallow. Thus it doesn't surprise me there are problems with their bug bounty program. I think if they could they would prefer to just silence all vulnerability/bug reports with a gag order rather than acknowledging or even investigating them.

The weirdest one I read online is that Ivermectin might change human sexual behaviour. Since parasites can and do spread through anal sex. Speculated that the parasites can change behaviour of the human host, to engage in more anal sex. Similarly to the way its been observed in mice.

"However, the protozoan can only reproduce within the bodies of cats, and in mice, the mind-controlling parasite has evidently evolved to make mice unafraid of felines and even, according to some research, sexually attracted to the odor of cat urine"
I would like that too but probably wont happen.

There are 3 big reasons for large Go binaries.

1. Unicode data is ~1 MB. It's needed to implement all the unicode-aware string functions like strings.EqualFold()

2. reflection. For reflection to work, every struct used in a Go program needs to have a description information that tells names and types of all fields. This adds up

3. Precise garbage collector also requires struct descriptions like reflection but even more information like: layout of stack frame for every function.

Those are problems that could, in theory, be worked-around.

A build could exclude Unicode info and functions that require it.

A different garbage collector could be used that doesn't require knowing layout of structs and stack frames.

Reflection could be changed to require explicit opt-in (99% of structs are not reflected upon).

Realistically none of that will happen in the official Go implementation. For better or worse most of the work is sponsored by Google and Google runs Go on servers. With 512 MB of memory, it makes little difference if your binary is 10 MB vs 9 MB, especially if you compete with even more bloat (in runtime memory use, not necessarily binary size) of Java / Python / Ruby / Node.

There are a couple of not-very-mature Go-like implementation that are trying to address this (tinygo, emgo) but they have long way to go.

But I never see images in most emails. They are not loaded unless I decide I want to see them. Those emails are just empty space. If there is no unsubscribe link, they get spam tagged.
I had always thought military pay was pretty low, but apparently $133,000/yr is around what a First Lieutenant with 10yrs service makes. So perhaps that is quite reasonable for real security.
