Just documenting the apparent endgame after four days, in case anyone is curious.

I waited out the 24 hours and finally got again to the stage where they allow me to ask for the SMS verification sending again.

The same deal: The SMS with the verification code gets sent to me, but like the web ui, also the also the facebook mobile app UI tells me the SMS failed to send and so refuses to let me enter the code.

The official ID sending form still refuses to receive my ID. It says I need to login for more information, which I cannot do, as noted above.

So the final story seems to be: they've blocked the account permanently and without a warning of any kind, with a flimsy excuse.

They also refuse to be honest about the fact that they don't intend to allow me to ask for any kind of confirmation or review.

The only hope is that on Instagram's side the phone verification indeed did go through successfully, although nothing happened within the promised 24 hours within which the review was supposed to happen.
Didn’t think of this, I use them all the time for other stuff too! Thanks
> code that does not pass the type checking is a waste of cycles

no, have you ever done hot reload in front-end development? When you make a typo on a type definition do you want tsc to bail & the whole application state to be lost? I guess CPU cycles are more valuable than your time?

edit: btw tcs does NOT bail, so your argument is moot because the typescript compiler itself "wastes cycles" like that.

> weakening your type safety

nothing is "weakened" here, what happens is, people can continue to work/test different parts of the codebase without having the full project type-checked out.
Well, maybe the people you have available to review code aren't all that good. Nobody ever wants to admit that their team is below average, but 50% of teams are.

Maybe due to limitations on team size, it's not possible to have an in-house expert on every technology used.

What is more depressing was finding out that we simply don’t have simple, widely accepted and used standards for collecting and reporting data on infectious disease pandemics.
The criteria and the metrics change from country to country and even from state to state or even by city in larger countries like the US, India and Brazil.
You don’t even have a single, universally agreed upon criteria of what constitutes a death by COVID. And because of that some countries like Sweden probably over-counted deaths while lots of African countries probably under-counted them.

The really radioactive stuff (fission products) is basically gone after 300 years. The longer-lived stuff (transuranic elements: plutonium etc) could in theory be recycled and burned up in another reactor, though this probably won't happen in practice. It's not as scary as the fission products though: it's less mobile, less bioavailable, less radioactive, etc. Still definitely a hazard, but a lower grade of hazard.
OK, but the claim is that siblings are different, despite growing up in the same environment, because they have their "own nature and character by birth".

I guess what I'm saying is that they might become different due to the environment necessarily changing in pretty significant ways for each of them.
That is the reverse of this subject in botany, we have this method that we know works and is logical lets make our language more logical. The problem with that is the same reason we don't use imaginary numbers everywhere we can use them. Veritasium has a video description [1] with links to references about the history of imaginary numbers and polynomials. There are some great writing on this and understanding not the history but the problems that gave rise to imaginary numbers, this connection to taxonomy makes me want to read them again.

There must be a study of this; failed attempts of taxonomy.

Always two sides of the coin. These are the average spot prices the last couple of years in SE3.

2020: $0,024 per kWh.

2019: $0,045 per kWh.

2018: $0,050 per kWh.

Nuclear are $0.13 - $0.204 per kWh to build. Therefore, even with these fluctuating prices you would need to make back the average loss of the year during a few short spurts, not looking likely that.

I don't think that's true - the difference between being an only child and having older siblings is much more than the difference between two only children in relatively similar (from a socio-economic point of view) families, I would say.

The way parents interact with their first child and subsequent children is significantly different, and the added interaction between the children themselves compounds these.

Interesting work. It seems like these lossy photo hashes are more obfuscation and resolution reduction than anything secure.

In the photo of the child, facial features aren't reconstructable. Is it possible that PhotoDNA hashes might be sufficiently potato to not infringe on privacy or meaningfully (if not legally) count as explicit/illicit content?

Are secure lossy photo hashes possible? I feel like it'd require indistinguishability obfuscation (iO), where distinguishing a hash from zillions of random noise preimages would be guaranteed intractable. But I'm not sure if you could guarantee all the preimages matching the hash aren't all still recognizable.

Maybe you could set up some kind of adversarial system using your work as the adversary? (e.g. Set of transformed input images --[hashing neural net]-->hashes, then hashes--[Ribosome]-->preimage, then penalize hashing neural net (and reward Ribosome) based on distance of input image and preimage, along with rewarding the hashing net for distance from its hashes of other images + closeness of its hashes of similar transformed images.)

Thanks I'll look into this. I wrote the game in js+canvas so my plan was to add some js prolog or datalog implementation later on for querying. Or just use in-memory sql.

This is the premise I'm questioning — what does success look like?

I suppose for me it's that I don't have to create an account with any particular company to participate.

So for example: Matrix displaces Discord and Twitch; ActivityPub displaces Twitter, Facebook and GitHub; podcasts displace iTunes and Spotify; Flatpak displaces Google Play; something(?) displaces Amazon (as a shop front) and PayPal.

> there needs to be some kind of economic incentive for it to be viable

There's no economic incentive for people to publish blogs or run Gemini capsules, yet they do.

By “viable” I mean “useful for some real use cases”. (Fun is a use case.)

By “viable” do you mean “people can make money off it”? Profitable technology is a very different goal from useful technology.

And frankly, get rich quick schemes are the reason the net is full of so much garbage.

I came to write this package as I was annoyed by code duplication when writing bespoke requests. Such as: unwrapping data, specifying the endpoint, transforming keys' casing etc. I looked around and saw there was no package that solved my issues and this was a gap in the ecosystem. Evidently I did not look good enough as since then I have found some alternatives: https://github.com/milroyfraser/sarala https://github.com/robsontenorio/vue-api-query https://github.com/DavidDuwaer/Coloquent
However I still find that my package is more feature packed and has more elegant solutions (e.g.: relationship handling).
I think what's great about this package is that typescript, clean and thorough documentation and self documenting code makes it really easy and fast to talk to your apis no matter the complexity of the data.
I hope that this package will serve you just as well as it did in my own personal web applications.

Issues like this have been repeated countless times in various IDEs, debugger interfaces and local services using browser as UI. Developers need to stop using network sockets as IPC channels for local services unless browsers significantly increase the restrictions on cross site requests. Similar situation with regular CSRF attacks. And it needs to be opt out not opt in. As long it's a responsibility of developer to implement proper authentication checks for something they consider a local service vulnerabilities like this will keep appearing.

I think the best children's shows have a slight sense of wistfulness - the ones I loved in my 1970s childhood in the UK were Bagpuss, Mr. Benn and the Charlie Brown shows. The best of the animated Batman shows in the 90s caught that too (particularly the superb Mr Freeze ones), but it doesn't seem to be that common, though I'm not following kids TV as much as I did.
We used to have it as well, I remember from when I was a kid. It says on Wikipedia that we replaced the glass bottles with PET mostly. So I guess we have the same scheme, but not on the same scale anymore (one bottle supposedly gets reused 40 times on average).

How convenient that the article, in effect, supports the current agenda of pushing vaccines on everyone. It does this through the angle of sterilizing immunity being unachievable.

It starts off with some Danish guy observing a measels outbreak in Scotland and how the people that had the measels 65 years earlier were not affected by the current outbreak. You can stop reading at that point because it totally ignores that critical part of the story. It then uses this observation as the catalyst for the 'myth' of sterilizing immunity of the measels vaccine. Then it goes into testimony from experts on how we can't prove an infection took place, blah, blah, blah... Right.

So here we go with the wiggle room that eventually justifies the Covid vaccine being given to everyone on earth. Never mind that 65 years later the old people didn't get infected with the measels. Their bodies must have had some seasoned immunity workers who remembered how they handled it last time.

It's never ending. "We don't have proof." "There's not enough evidence." "We can't quantify what defines that." But just to be safe, give this to everyone and punish those that refuse. I can't believe people actually suggest that unvaccinated people not be allowed in the hospital or should just suffer their 'bad decisions.' Really? Is that what it's come to?

I will also preface by saying, that there very much is an issue with having for-profit (mental) health system.

That said, I don't think what you're pointing at goes beyond issue of monopolization (giving one side of the market relatively more power) and those previously mentioned. To give an example, you'd achieve the same problem if they simply created 'mental health board' interest group with PR and lobbying - those can be very powerful, my personal favourite example being pork producers making 'bacon' a cool thing. Putting competition out of business seems tangential to other points in the thread, unless I'm missing something.

The problem is inherent, apps just streamline process and make it more clear. Relaying on disorganization of some class to produce friction that will limit their whole effectiveness (including part that is clearly harmful) is a delay tactic at best, not a solution.

I love Kodi, it runs my house for watching movies, listening to my mp3 collection or internet radios, and does it great. However what I'm really missing is a way to stream everything in and out:

- allow streaming audio to other computers for multi-room audio
- allow streaming audio from phones or computers when I throw a party at home and people want to play DJ
- allow streaming audio+video from a computer to use my big screen from a laptop without plugging wires

Of course there are some plugins that do a part of that, but they're hard to configure and break often (when they work); I'd really like that to work as simply and reliably as the media playing works now

> "Approximately 1.01 million cubic feet and 40 thousand curies of low-level radioactive waste were disposed of in 2020"

It’s worth noting that even a million cubic feet isn’t a big quantity, this is something one guy with an excavator could feasibly bury. (Not that we should actually pursue the guy-with-excavator disposal strategy)
Fossil fuels are not a viable option. It is simply the seemingly cheapest option, sacrificing the environment for short term economic gain.

Overcapacity has its issues. It does not remove the dependency on fossil fuel, and you still need to have independently the same capacity in fossil fuel plants. A big part of the fossil fuel cost in term of economics is have them standby and operational, which today is paid primarily through subsidies. Having a bunch of wind turbines running at 20% efficiency while at the same time paying a fossil fueled power plant be ready to step is not cheap. Is it _still_ cheaper than nuclear? Hard to say. All the comparisons I have seen are done on the theoretical cost per watt produced, not what the grid costs to operate on a year to year basis in order to provide the service of a stable grid.

Looking at the day prices per local zone around Sweden and Finland, the prices goes down the closer you get to hydro and nuclear and goes up the closer you get to wind and fossil fuels, with as high as 10x. Economically that makes the case for wind + fossil fuels a bit harder to buy, through I am not blind to the fact that its previous generations that enabled it. Living next to wind+fossil fuel is right now very expensive, with industries moving north as a direct result.
