Is it worse? No. I just don't care for how they're selling it. It's not any great service to humanity. If they just sold it as entertainment for kids, that'd be no problem.
That's not quite the issue at hand though. In that situation, the bank should be opening an account with the correct name then issuing a credit card with an ASCII-converted name. This would be acceptable because the personal information is stored correctly, it's just represented in simplified form on the card. The issue in the article is that the bank couldn't even open an account with the correct name.

I suspect this will be fixed by storing the correct name in an external system and using an ID number or similar to refer to the customer on EBCDIC systems.
Yes, it's a watchdog kernel panic which takes place after the fans spin up. No NFS mounts here.
Me three. And I can't jump ship to Apple's arm chips until they permit x86 virtualisation/emulation sensibly.
Every Kickstarter backer got exactly what they were promised (ranging from tshirts to dev kits, studio visits and more), and a bonus production headset on top, so I'm not sure where the question of deserving more comes from.
As soon as I got an iPhone, I remember pointing Safari at an M3U link and was so happy to have streaming on a hand held device. It took many years, but it was finally doable. I was pleasantly surprised when the stream continued flowing even once the screen locked. That was still years before music apps became a thing, but I was snug as a bug listening to my website streams on mobile.
The main problem I had with AppSmith is that its mobile support is abysmal.

I opened an issue quite a while ago about a very basic component being completely broken on iOS and it still hasn't been fixed.
If you remember this product exists the next time you're measuring than yes, it might be useful. I use my notes app to jot down field measurements all the time and it works well. Simplicity can be nice up until the point of too much fragmentation.
I remember my own decade-long struggles with "failing to thrive" and I can assure one can turn your life around, but as author correctly noticed: "The puzzle of getting Jack <...> onto his feet could never be solved because there was a missing piece – Jack wanting to get better".
“ Monkeys had parts of their brains destroyed with acid in order to increase their capacity for terror, and were then tormented with simulated spiders, snakes and other things they instinctively fear. These experiments have been ongoing for more than four decades.”

Curious what such a study is even meant to produce?

Anecdotally, all of the beagle stuff pulls at my heart strings, as someone who grew up with the rescue beagle used in labs.

I don’t have much comment on Fauci’s relevance here, but I’m shocked at the number of researchers who would be willing to perform such experiments so willingly, especially for what I’m assuming aren’t very prestigious publications.
I'm a little confused about whether this is really called "Tempest" (isn't that a terribly confusing name, if so, because of the similar government codeword related to emissions security?).
Wow, TIL. So The Simpsons' Tomacco wasn't that far-fetched after all!
Could this victory be related to the potential metaverse rename of Facebook that was in the news the other day?
Why Is the Register Serving Early Hints for DoubleClick
From the web traffic logs:

Have not seen this early hints response from The Register before. In fact, I have not seen it from any website.

Is it still experimental: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc8297.txt

If Google is "the Chocolate Factory", The Register is not Charlie. Here it succumbs to giving DoubleClick, i.e., the Chocolate Factory, first priority, before any content. Thanks for the offer, but no thanks. The text-only browser I use properly rejects this as a "Bad HTTP Response".
If you want to solve your problem do the VRM mod. And use a small desk fan. It’s easy and reversible.
Is it illegal to invite friends over to watch a movie?
This likely happened due to budgetary constraints. Storage space was much more expensive then. 10 extra bytes x 10 million records is 100 megabytes of hard drive space. That's a few thousand dollars in 80's money, just for storage. That doesn't include redundant drives, backups, extra RAM, and whatever else is needed.

The limits have probably been in place for 40+ years and nobody wants change it. Or maybe nobody knows how. It's much easier to tell them to abbreviate their name as "Chris" and move on.
Nah. Went back to EU after bootcamp and worked there.

for the record it wasn't lambda school lol
Well, FWIW, the first people I knew using WhatsApp were my friends who were drug dealers or chinese nationals, and both lauded the encryption features.
Try VRM thermal pad mod.
I believe in some countries there were major politicians taken down, and I bet you a dollar the media and public referred to the reasons with more specificity.
But would we be better off with 20% higher grocery prices so that the government has the money they want?
Wow it's almost as if multiple people comment on things here and they have different opinions!
I would argue that you don't need any of these assumptions to be valid. All populations throughout history had partially excellent, partially catastrophically-flawed perceptions of reality and truth. And being "high info" or "low info" has zero link, since it's easy to find "pop science" factoid that are well-known and accepted, and have been highlighted in Ted Talks (not TedX) and popularized to millions, yet are false. The fact is, you can still reproduce, and still code a program, repair a car, do whatever your job is, even if you believe the earth is flat; you can't be an astrophisicist, but if you'd believe in flat-earth you weren't going to be one anyway. They just cause social problems if they're, e.g., colleagues of yours, and are pushy about their views; and I think that's what the "pro-censorship" crowd tries to address. Try to have a "deep enough" conversation with random strangers today, and you'll see it's not their "facts" that are the problem, it's that most people's thinking process just isn't rigorous. Internet censorship simply can't fix that; you censor certain views, you'll just find that people shift to adopting equally unrigorous views on the opposite side; and may be just as pushy if that's their temperament.
The fix is the VRM thermal pad mod btw.
Censorship is always sold as milk and eggs. That is to say, censorship is never sold as censorship.
I imagine it would help with the fentanyl issue. I don't think that anyone would buy fentanyl if they had access to known real heroin that wasn't expensive.
the lead developer has (to my knowledge) been under sustained financial distress for some time. It'd be nice to see more funding in this ecosystem (however, the money seems to be flowing into the crypto space unfortunately).
That's one of my favorite aspects of astronomy. To the universe, we're (Earth) just a spec on a dot. The stepping away from all of the things that seem so stressingly important and realize that it's only us that feels that stress and the universe really absolutely doesn't give a shit. It always helps me to give less of a shit too.
I have been using Macs daily for a decade. Big Sur is a big reversion in usability. Easily the worst MacOS update I can recall. The UI is a lot clunkier and slower and just harder to make sense of. They will throw it all out in 2-4 years and start over, that's about how long the UI stays stable.
I understand that, although it's difficult to say whether that experiment is indicative of what a nationwide relaxation of drug laws would do. Cities which have decriminalized drugs (removed enforcement) are going to attract a disproportionate number of problematic or homeless addicts from other parts of the country. Cities with a more hospitable climate (in the sense of weather) already have this problem, so I imagine for San Francisco it's a double whammy.
Can I import svgs from my local files?
There isn’t a central db of valid coupons, the discount and product barcode are encoded in the coupon barcode
>. Do you think Russia, China, Germany, Israel, Iran and North Korea don't have the same on every other major political figure?

Do you think US intelligence don't also have the same? We've already seen a sitting US president hire intelligence agents to bug his enemies and political rivals, it's not like there's any reason to suspect that was a one time occurrence.
where are your quotes from?

I think it depends. When you entered the US you got asked the reason for your visit, and you probably said "tourist." If you had said "I'm going to look for and apply for jobs" (or "find someone to marry") you would almost certainly have got turned away. But if you come to the US (or pretty much any country) as a tourist and find a job by accident (or fall in love and get married) there's nothing illegal about that. It comes down to your intent, which is hard to prove.

When you apply for a job while in the US but you don't have a visa that allows work or business, you put the potential employer in a bad position. If they follow up and interview you and proceed with hiring you, they may be party to immigration fraud (more likely they will worry about that, I think actual legal action unlikely). And they will have other legitimate concerns: they will get started on the complex and expensive visa sponsorship process only to have you fail to get the visa (if USCIS asks questions about when you applied for the job), or that you will apply for other jobs because you mainly want the visa, or if you will work for them just long enough to get a visa. Most US companies don't have a lot of experience hiring foreigners so they might not want to take any chances. The companies that do hire a lot of foreigners can pick and choose from a large pool of candidates who want to work in the US.
I think this is the main issue.

I graduated from a bootcamp 7 years ago and even back then it was becoming clear that despite admissions clear preference for people that would be successful regardless, there were those in the group that would struggle to find work.

A large portion of my cohort came from top tier universities and a good chunk of them with degrees in Engineering, CS, or Math. Those folks did well and found jobs relatively easily. Career switching folks that had tech exposure through product or UX experience also did well. Folks that struggled a bit seemed to come from good but not great schools and with a major/work experience in a non-technical field.

Working together day to day I started getting this impression and then I saw it play out in hiring. The top tier folks either got jobs almost immediately or held out a few months to land at a FAANG type company. The middle of the pack seemed to find jobs at around the 3 month mark and the bottom group took as long as 6 months.

There isn't this huge pool of students from very good schools with technical degrees that allows these camps to scale up their enrollment while maintaining their initial success
Nobody can tell you without pulling numbers out of thin air. That's the point. The only thing that can be said is that the probability of intelligent life arising is greater than 0, which follows from our own existence. Beyond that, any claims about the likelihood of intelligent life are just 20th and 21st century versions of "there must be a God because the universe couldn't have arisen by chance."
Ask HN: Facebook is threatening me for owning facebookrebrand.com
Any advice? They say that if I sell it, they can sue me for 100K.
And if you put the URL into a URL shortener, you can (ab)use it as cloud storage for your spreadsheet.

I once did some checks and found at least one shortener could store a URL string of at least 65KB [1]. That was in 2009. Not sure where those shortener limits are all at today - I suspect the industry dynamics changed when Twitter introduced its built-in shortener.

I've used it. Yes, it has a GUI editor for those.
The scary (sad) thing to me is that it could be 1 of 1.
You forget DOJ and the entire executive branch it reports to are pretty much bought by lobbyists, many of whom directly or indirectly work for FB and other big tech.
You're about 850 years too late on that front. Common Law has been a thing since Henry the Second and we just ggyG'd the whole UK legal system and edited from there.

You can't really avoid this either without throwing out judicial precedent because "knowing how the court will rule on subsequent cases" is basically the same as law.
Love this. This is exactly something what I have been looking for ages.

I find smartphone solutions - calculators to be annoying, scientific calculators too much, spreadsheets to be too slow. This is what I need.
> you'll just find that people shift to adopting equally unrigorous views on the opposite side.

This is a feature, not a bug. The purpose of internet censorship as well as the entire "misinformation" discourse is to make sure the propaganda from your side wins.
> do agree that I've seen a LOT of bootcamps try to "scale" out their programs by removing human teachers and using video/written content or by increasing student to teacher ratios.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is how every bootcamp pitches to their investors. "We're just starting out with an MVP. Once we've nailed the curriculum we're going to scale our instruction without increasing labor costs".
oh man, has the news been running halloween stories in your area again?
I really hate how Apple shaped a whole new ecosystem that made it specially hard to run open source and unixy stuff.

It feels like the Disney moment where a company thriving from an abundant shared resource turns around to poison the well to keep their lead.

I love my iPad but really wish that’s not the future waiting for us.
Agreed. That’s why I said I think there is room for us both for a long time.
I guess my question - given this lawsuit is so "boring" why do places like forbes go big into covering it early (facebook evil) but then when it is exposed as a sham, don't cover that outcome.

https://news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/ex-facebook-vr-founder-...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/joeparlock/2020/06/16/lawsuit-a...

They literally have tech journalists in courtroom for the outcome. But if it's not anti-facebook no coverage.

It is a bit weird.
I see the same in London, where everything is illegal.

I think it's unrelated to whether drugs are a crime or not - homeless and drug users in general will find a way to get it.

It's a sad reflection on the state of society and our cities.

Personally, after a terrible experience in Paris, I decided I will avoid all big cities.

I think we should do something about it and forcefully throw homeless and drug users out of cities, but it's not a very popular (or easily enforceable, for that matter) point of view.
Giving someone what they deserve/earn is serving Justice, not Charity
As the others have said, it's very difficult to get a H1B, even as a senior. You'd probably have better luck getting a founder visa. No college degree makes it hard to even qualify for a visa; it's literally one of the things they look at.

I've applied to American jobs. I'm told my resume is solid but the conversation stops immediately once I tell them I don't have a work permit there. The only exception were dodgy seed stage companies who had like 9 months runway and no applicants, but even they decided not to go through with it.
He's been abusing people as well.
So many injured by the poison injections they call 'vaccines'.
So many suffering from diseases that he did everything to hide the causes and treatments from the public.
See the 'Plandemics' video, for example.
the one that does my head in is you can search for a file with spotlight but then the only thing you can do with the result is open it; you can't see what folder it's in or open the folder.
Limit the amount of active users until they prove they can safely run a platform of a certain size. It's like how buildings have max occupancy levels in case of fires. If a club is super popular, they don't get to cram in as many people as they can then claim "it's really hard to safely run a club with this many people, so you can't hold us accountable" whenever people are trampled to death trying to get to the exits during an emergency.
It's hard for me to have a useful mental model on this subject. As we know from the article, time passes differently for the top than the bottom, and this effect is in everything including you and me (obviously). What I find hard even less intuitive to grasp though, is whether or not this is cumulative. It should be right? 0.00000000000000001% slower on one side, well that adds up quickly. It can't be cumulative or my feet would be a lot older than my head, but I don't get how that's not true.
I'm not sure you understand how good heroin feels. Nothing comes close, especially not Tennis or a wonderful community.

I tried heroin once, and I regret it every day, because I am 100% positive that I will never again be as happy as I was that day. If I didn't have what is effectively a dream job I'm sure that I'd be a heroin addict.
Bari Weiss is unfortunately not the bearer of speech freedom given her resorting to ad hominems and attack words she didn't even know the meaning to and her protests against speech and professors and academic freedom when she was at Columbia.

I just searched a number of sites for "palmer lucky total recall". Many of the ones I checked (tech: The Verge, Gizmodo, cnet; mainstream: NY Times, Washington Post) never published any articles about this lawsuit.

IGN published one article when the lawsuit was first filed, and Destructoid published a copycat article. I'm not surprised the result was not interesting enough to write out, if they were even aware.

TechCrunch published an article when the case was dismissed in 2017 (before being resuscitated by the 9th Circuit), but nothing else before or after. Given that that was good news for Luckey, it shows an opposite 'bias' to the one being alleged.

Reuters did publish a number of articles about the case's progress and hasn't published anything about its ending, so I guess you can blame them?

But overall, this is just not a case that's gotten a lot of media attention.
The WMO report confirmed that last year's temporary dip in emissions "did not have any discernible impact on the atmospheric levels of greenhouse gases and their growth rates." Concentrations of other gases methane and nitrous oxide also rose in 2020 and beat the last decade's average, it showed.

Am I reading that right? A major pandemic shuts everything down for a period, a lot of us are still working from home, and it didn’t make any difference? Will the U. N. soon be issuing a report declaring, “We Are All Well and Truly Screwed”?
11% growth for FB would be very impressive.

However, the growth numbers are for FB, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp.

11% growth is for Monthly Active People (whatever that is). Monthly Active Users (MAU) - the more common metric - grew by 6%.

It's possible that FB is actually shrinking - while Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp are growing. They don't provide enough data to know that.
> What exactly would this push look like?

One way to start it would be in-school cantinas to only offer healthy food, do so for free for every student, and to educate students from the start to be healthy eaters. Remember: we shamed McDonalds into offering salads.

It’ll not solve all cases, but will reduce the health issue, save countless lives and allow us to focus on the next problem, whatever it is.
> the loud voices that have been driving this "anti-free speech" shift are also a loud minority. The people who got Alex Jones banned everywhere, got YouTube to start demonetising videos, got Trump banned from Twitter, were essentially a small group of influential Twitter users

I had to laugh - this could easily describe Alex Jones and Trump as the proximate cause of their own bans.
Political outcomes in the past year or so have really been driving this home for me: Twitter / the internet isn't "real life".

Taking a quote from Eric Adams:

> Social media does not pick a candidate, people on Social Security pick a candidate"
I'm in the same boat, but we really need to update our justice system to compensate for the increase in trivial infractions.

social credit style systems can make a lot of sense here, eg: micro punishments and rewards

to create discussion/controversy and therefore attention for the consultancy that created it (postlight).
People are already decent to each other. The problem is that your definition of decent is becoming warped.

It would just lead to anyone with an idea they're not sure is agreed upon already not being able to voice that idea.

Scary world.
Any tips on finding these consultancies?

More info on 1-second delay when discussed last year:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25449389

It started as a 1-second delay for all ads, but then they found a technical way to allow for ads made with AMP to load sooner.
Why did they cover it at the beginning then?
It’s a nice project, light on resources, fits on a floppy… Which does not seem very important given that even a 15 year old computer would be an overkill for it. I wish there was a tiny board based on x86 I could use it on (Intel had a few, but they all seem defunct now.)
No. It is all still the same dumpster fire. I think they may have actually made it worse.

I got a calendar notification of a cancelled event. The notification itself had no buttons to interact with. A hover where the close button would be (top left of the nmotification) causes it to appear and also causes a "delete" button to appear in the bottom right. But if I move my mouse off the "close" button to click "delete" both the close and delete buttons disappear. The only way to delete it is to click it (opening the calendar) wait for the calendar to open (5-10s on a 2019 i7 MBP) then open the event itself to delete it.

I wish this was true. Fentanyl has demand, both all on its own, and cut into other substances for the extra kick. I'm reluctantly convinced that a free clinic should have it on the menu.
And then, of course, iTunes got steadily and uniformly worse for years.
> On a Mac, Option+Shift+Command+V is paste without style.

On Windows, it used to be Control-Shift-V. Unfortunately, it does not work in Office 2016 (and likely other recent versions). While the new approach is more flexible, it would have been nice if they kept the old behaviour bound to the old key combination.

I agree with recent versions of Office being a baffling mess. The only reason why I keep Office 2016 around is for the rare case that I need to send an editable document to someone else and I have no intent to upgrade since figuring out that mess is more trouble than it's worth.
