I didn't realize that GE appliances was a separate company with separate ownership (Haier & KKR). Its amazing how many of the old prestige brand names are now just licensing or separate companies.
Problem is this isn't exactly like a street meeting between mafia thugs in New York in the 60's. There's no face to face contact for cops to monitor. There's no wires to record voices and tie into identities. Sure, there's meetings, but they're online and can be anonymized. Of course, it's not 100%, but it's a higher chance of success than say, wiretapping a phone.
Why would it be difficult to retrofit? It’s just a new set of types. Is it that existing APIs wouldn’t be using them?

Ask HN: How do you find subliminal messages in audio?
I have this audio file that claims: "Compared to regular audio, the subliminal affirmation messages are recorded at many different frequencies and volumes, therefore you will be unable to hear the messages consciously."

Using audacity:

I took this 3 min clip:

And tried changing the Pitch up and down but can't find the messages. Is there a technique for this?

Here is a list of all the subliminal affirmations/messages in this recording.

My happiness grows stronger every day

My energy levels are naturally very high

I choose to be happy and free

Life is good

I feel good

I am a great communicator

I am a confident person

I am a fun, friendly, and out-going person

I succeed in everything I do

"Fuck! We have to train them now?! Its bad enough that we have to PAY them!"

I was surprised to learn how poorly phone reps are paid. Even in America.

I work in healthcare, and when COVID hit, almost everyone in the company had to man the phones. We were all e-mailed PDFs from the customer service contractor with instructions about how to use the soft phone system on our computers.

Since it was a standard new hire packet, the contractor accidentally left in all of the other workplace policies. Some of which were terrible. For example, the phone reps were only allowed two bathroom breaks each day, and they could total no more than 11 minutes.

And this was an American company, with call centers in supposedly "liberal" western states.
The state does not oppress muslims, please stop making these ridiculous claims in all your comments.

The law as it stands is that no overly visible religious symbols can be worn in state schools and what has happened is that a minority of muslims have decided to challenge this by sending girls wearing hijabs to school. By law it is fine to wear a discrete cross, star of David, crescent, whatever as a necklace.

There is nothing oppressive or far-right there. It's not the attitude of the French state that has changed but the attitude of a minority towards secular French society.
Not 100% tested, but should hopefully work:

find . -name go.mod | xargs gawk -i inplace '/^replace \(/{d=1}; (!d && !/^replace/); /^\)/{d=0}'

Explanation of gawk arguments:

— -i inplace — https://stackoverflow.com/a/16531920

— /^replace \(/{d=1} — on lines starting with `replace (`, set a variable named `d` (any var name would work, 'd' is my mental shortcut for 'delete' here) to value `1` (i.e. "true"); Note: in awk, unset variables default to 0 ("false") value

— (!d && !/^replace/) — on lines where `d` is 0 (which is default value of unset variables in awk), and which don't start with `replace` pattern, print the line. Default action when unspecified in awk is `{print}`, this entry is a shortcut of: (!d && !/^replace/) {print}

— /^\)/{d=0} — on lines starting with `)`, reset `d` variable back to 0 ("false")

In other words, this encodes: "delete any lines between `replace (` and nearest `)`, and also delete any other lines starting with `replace`"
You are making the cognitive mistake of seeing the exceptions as the default, because the exceptions are what come to mind.

As I said, when constant persistent stress was occurring, I'm sure it wasn't any better for them than for us. But those were the exceptions. History writes about the famines and the sieges precisely because they're the interesting exceptions. Most people, most of the time, were not in a siege or a famine or under any particular threat from a neighbor.

Today, millions upon millions experience this mid-level persistent stress all the time, for decades. In the 21st century first world, it is the norm, rather than the exception. I don't think that's how it used to be. It especially didn't used to be that way when the danger of famine or siege is as low as it is now, making the stress response even more mal-adaptive.

I'm disappointed that I needed the point made to me in this way...and glad I'm not using an account associated with my real name. Obviously with a sufficiently large key-space my silly idea wouldn't be possible merely because the content-space is small.

Just to continue the conversation and maybe learn more, I think it's a safe assumption that generally:

- either a unique key would be stored in the database for each user similar to a salt (vulnerable to DB dump)

- or the key would be determinate from other info associated with each user (which would be reversible from hypothetical additional leaked source code)

- or there is a hardcoded key used for every single SSN (which would be vulnerable to `echo $ENV` or similar if attacker had shell access to the appropriate machine)

While not all database dumps will be done by someone with long-term root level access, is there a method which would secure SSN's against someone who has the access levels necessary to pull off the three above attacks?
Hello, I work with a bunch of strong Waterloo and other developers from top colleges and have been connecting them with blockchain startups. It's hard to get a good hire with just a few candidates to review. I've been building a platform that makes it easy to search through really strong developers, message many of them and then get to a good hire.

Also here in Spain, the public healthcare system is just fine. I wouldn't use private. Public is good enough.

But it's more about peace of mind. What if I lose that high paying job? I'll suddenly be in trouble for medical fees. Or income for that matter.

That kind of security is really great to have. I wouldn't want to live in a country without it. The US has a kind of "every man for himself" attitude. It feels like it stems from the 'frontier' mindset. You can climb really high but also fall all the way down. And that's fine, to each their own. But it's not for me. I'm happy to just have enough to live comfortably and have a nice job and not have to worry too much. This is also why I'll never be an entrepreneur. I'm very happy being a salaried employee with the lower income but the rights and stability that come with it.
Tech employees are in the same boat as the locals: they can't own homes either, and they are constantly treading water with long hours and heavy ageism to keep making money that keeps them in the middle class in the Bay Area. It's the homeowners who have actively lobbied against any development who are the real culprits here.

That is not to mention the utter failure of Bay Area towns to figure out mass transit that actually works, which would have averted this current catastrophe.

Java is one of the very few languages with a complete specification, instead of the usual “here is a binary, whatever it compiles to, that is the language”. Due to that and its size, it has plenty of independent implementations, so vendor lock-in is simply not a risk. But even if it were, the Oracle-developed and completely open-sourced OpenJDK project uses the exact same license as the Linux kernel, so no, noone will get sued, you can change to whatever else, etc.
It can be replicated in such a way that you cannot apply a test to determine whether it is original, unless you’re one of a very few experts who can distinguish highly skilled forgeries from original paintings. Historically there have been forgeries that have fooled all experts and thus the entire art world for some time. This is a much more difficult and less reliable process than checking a digital signature in a public database.
Initially we'll be using unary calls but I can see use cases where streaming would be useful. One might be for keeping a schema representation in sync between the services and coordinator (for those services that need to be schema aware). Another potential could be future implementations of reactive APIs and subscription or push models. Although in the near term we can leverage streaming for performance improvements by allowing the service to begin performing transformations before the entire response has been received.

By increasing value like this, they can raise more funding/sell debt to fund growth. The moves themself do not impact the company but the downstream impacts can be great. Most large businesses run on debt, most growth is fueled by debt, and increasing the total amount of money that investors are willing to give to companies by reorganizing organizations to make more attractive debt sales is a nearly costless way to fund growth.

I have no idea what you're on about. Just because I have criticisms of people that doesn't mean I'm taking sides politically.

What "catchphrase" am I even repeating? I feel like you didn't even read what I wrote lol. Like, do you honestly think the only way I could come to that opinion was if I was parroting some talking point? No, I have just met way too many fake activists who clearly only care so long as the only effort they have to put in is criticizing other people, while doing nothing in their personal lives to solve the problem.

I think we do have a pollution problem, I also think we have a hypocrite problem. I take issue with fake people preaching down to people while doing nothing themselves.

Stock buybacks are just a tax efficient way to give money back to shareholders in lieu of dividends.

Also this sort of phenomenons are rarely top-bottom. The American consumer is less and less prone to consume and more and more keen to invest.

If you talk to people and look at discussions on the interwebz it seems to me that the goal is not so much making purchases today with the aim of enhancing quality of life, but accumulating potential spending capability in the form of paper net-worth which you have the option (but not the obligation) to spend on quality of life at a later date.

Just look at Tesla, Bitcoin, real estate, interest rates etc. Basically every financial indicator says that people are more and more rejecting the marsh-mallow today, hoping to have multiple marsh-mallows in the future, which they'd also reject in the hope of having hundreds of marsh-mallows, which they'd also reject and on and on and on.

The anticipation of pleasure and quality of life becomes the goal, and the anticipation is fed by people circlejerking over their net-worth number or their gains on their paper gains on the stock market.

When you signal to executives that the company's most successful product is the stock that they sell, then it's not that hard to imagine that executives will be very receptive in treating the stock as a product, that's because they already have incentives as it is, then on top of that you have the populace asking to do exactly that and elevating those who do so as some sort of technoutopian cult leader making them rich (every reference to Lord Musk is incidental)

Most of the arguments against NFTs ultimately boil down to "centralized systems already do this".

Which to me is very sad and uncreative. The entire point just flew straight over-head at ten thousand miles per hour. Yeah, centralized systems already do this; what is necessary to create a world where they don't? Where people can transfer value without the help of a centralized authority.

Ok so: "How do you verify authenticity". Two responses:

1) What if you don't? What if the NFT itself is the value? We already see this with, for example, the Bored Ape Yacht Club; people can create duplicates, but the originals are cryptographically verified. They created value out of thin air, which is where all value comes from at the end of the day.

2) And in other situations, where the value comes from something real outside the blockchain like the original artist; use centralized systems! It's not all or nothing! Centralized systems are great at verifying providence. Use 'em! "This NFT was the one the artist tweeted about".

Then they follow up with: "Lol I can just copy-paste".

Yeah! Isn't that fantastic? NFTs create value for the people who want that value, by having a concept of "ownership of the original". But nothing is stopping all of us from also enjoying it.

Finally, the end-stage of any debate always arrives at "its destroying the planet".

This is, of course, typed as a comment into a website via a computer burning dirty coal power, through 3,000 miles of underground plastic fiber and fifty network appliances, to a beefy server running in a data center. Afterward, Captain Planet will hop in their gas-burning car to drive to work, drink a grande Starbucks coffee from a disposable cup, flush the toilet ten times throughout the day, pick up the newest iPhone from the Apple Store on the drive home, then watch an hour of Foundation on their 65" TV with 5.1 surround sound.

I'm obviously being a dramatic. More generally and accurately; humanity is destroying the planet. We're really good at it. People act like NFTs are destroying the planet, while every day doing far more to destroy the planet than NFTs ever will. It's a bad argument, especially when NFTs (and ETH in general) present a fantastically optimizable solution to the problem of value ownership; they'll get more efficient over time. Data centers can easily be powered by clean energy.

Here's the axiom I've noticed: the pro-NFT crowd has seen every single argument against them. I don't know if the people who post articles & comments like these think they're being original, like they're the first one to notice that verifiable providence is a difficult problem, but trust me; many people in this community have been thinking about this long before you first heard the word "cryptocurrency". Your inability to exhibit creativity in reasoning about a solution to the problems you present does not mean there is no solution, or that the technology won't continue to flourish.

I followed the references to find the actual argument behind calling surveillance proctoring all of the above, and these are the relevant bits[0]:

>At the beginning of a test, these products ask students to verify their identity by matching their appearance with a photo ID. As Os Keyes has demonstrated, facial recognition has a terrible history with gender[x]. This means that a software asking students to verify their identity is compromising for students who identify as trans, non-binary, or express their gender in ways counter to cis/heteronormativity. If a student’s gender expression or name on their ID are different from their current gender expression or name, the algorithm may flag them as suspicious. When this happens, they may have to undergo another level of scrutiny to authenticate their identity, an already common and traumatic experience for trans and gender non-conforming students. If these students are not alerted of this possibility before the test begins, it may force them to either discontinue the test and risk their grade, or out themselves to their course owner when they may not want to, risking more trauma and discrimination including being denied financial aid, being forced to leave their institution, or have their lives put in physical danger.

>The Eugenic Gaze is a combination of white supremacy, sexism, ableism, cis/heteronormativity, and xenophobia. When we apply the Eugenic Gaze using technology, the way we do with algorithmic test proctoring, we’re able to codify and reinforce all of those oppressive systems while avoiding equity-based critiques because of our belief in the neutrality of data and technology.

Their recommendations are quite reasonable:

>Don’t use algorithmic test proctoring. Instead, focus on pedagogical techniques that you can use to design assessments, online or in person, that draw from personal experience or require students to apply concepts in unique contexts. If you have to use algorithmic test proctoring, make sure students know about the test settings and ID requirement well before they take a test, and assure them that you will not take any behavior flagged as “suspicious” into consideration that isn’t described explicitly in the syllabus.

The GP link[1] instead calls out "Facial Recognition Tech", and "Algorithmic Proctoring" as being too biased and follows up with a petition[2] to ban these entirely.

How is this company still in business?

I thought the SEC would step in after the blatant fraud that they perpetrated on the behalf of their real customers during the GME debacle.

Now I find out they leaked my name and email after I deleted my account? Is there a class action being formed?
>In most cases the creator of the NFT != the creator of the artwork.

You are describing counterfeit art and is easy to identify

That's like pointing out how many fake Gucci bags are out there and dismissing the real Gucci by saying "in most cases the creator of the Gucci bag is not Gucci."
Please stop with this ridiculous comparison. I can hold a baseball card. I can look at it. I can put it on a binder. It's an object of appreciation, like a painting I hang on the wall. It is tangible. NFTs are nothing but an empty concept which seduces programmers with a weak grasp on reality. It's fairy dust, or an eunuch's cum.

NFTs are magical thinking, occultism for programmers.

> Why would it be difficult to retrofit? It’s just a new set of types. Is it that existing APIs wouldn’t be using them?

It's a brand new kind which wouldn't necessarily work the way existing types do, and it's a whole lot of extra syntax.

Plus previous retrofits have not exactly panned out great, C++ and Java's native "type safe enumerations" are pretty crummy as they're closer to enumerated sets of constants than sum types.

Sealed classes/interfaces/traits/… fit well in the machinery and aesthetics of RTTI-heavy products-types-based languages and slot nicely into the "niche" of sum types.
That's not a particularly relevant criticism here. The point is that TDD teaches you to think adversarially about your code all the time. The fact that you are not always successful isn't a very interesting criticism; if you don't think adversarially about your code at all you're even less successful. "Testing can't catch all bugs!" is an objection for another discussion.
This is a good example of pointless suffering and self flagellation
