I have no idea. What is disturbing to me is the arbitrary stuff Verizon is filtering. Seriously, what is so controversial about a Twilio error message?
Thank you for shedding some light on the actual contents of the book
All is all major. All major may not be all. Sorry, I see that I'm being a semantics troll :)
You want to create a minor mode (minor mode overrides major mode key bindings) and have the minor mode enabled globally. use-package has a bind-key* function that does this I think. Something like (check the syntax, I haven't tested it)

(require 'bind-key)
(bind-key* (kbd "tab") (lambda () (insert " ")))

And you should probably construct the number of spaces from the tab-width variable.

When you look at perseverance rover photos, a lot of them look like straight out of terra gen, simplistic, artificial. I think it's because the underlying mechanism that created those sediments was simple, like a simple chemistry, not complex microbial life.

if you’re trying to persuade me that i shouldn’t use SN as an unwilling test subject, save your breath: i’m not engaged in any effort to de-anonymize him. his project is founded on adversarial mechanics within an extrajudicial (i.e. lawless) space: it’s naive to think those mechanics won’t bleed over from the project to its adjacencies. that’s the point i’m trying to make.
>The more times you cause damage, and the higher the damages, the higher your rates go over time.

But by how much? If it's enough to fully offset the cost of the damage, that's not insurance, but a payment plan. If it's less than the cost of the damage, then you have to decide what it's going to be.
The Czech similar system (Datová Schránka) is similar and even worse:

* email notifications are unreliable
* messages are considered delivered a week after landing in your data box, regardless of you reading them
* old messages are automatically deleted after 90 days (!!!) unless you pay for an expensive and cumbersome archive addon service

Especially point number three makes the whole thing quite dangerous, not just liability - you might get an important message/request from the state while on long vacation/loose the notification and it will self erase - mission impossible style! And you will only find out when you re in trouble for not doing something important later...

Unless you plan to work with the data box daily and manually check the messages its really dangerous to use it.
You mean the market rate in another market/country that they can get into. Certainly not the Canadian market rate.

That's the price of free trade and open borders. Most countries lose their best and brightest to the US and other high-pay countries, and the world is poorer for it.

Yeah, I don't like Python's approach in re syntax either.

In addition to your example, it backfires for things like multiline formulas (need to add parentheses or escapes) or lambdas.

Braces (or even 'end' like ruby) would be much more practical.
Your surety is misplaced and unfortunately you're not even asking the right question.

For what it's worth, the Laravel PHP framework (no affiliation) has the best introduction to higher-order methods for imperative programmers used to Javascript/C style of anything that I've come across:

Is email truly decentralized? Roll your own and you'll encounter issues with deliver ability just from being new in the market. Large providers manage their own block lists and prevent some messages from some ips being delivered at all. This is a practice that shuts down decentralization and creates an oligopoly, although I agree it isn't as severe as the tele situation.

There are ways to enter the VoIP market by purchasing trunk access but iirc that's still controlled by a few big players.

Another difference is that email in your junk folder still contains the information. Blocking a spam call means no information gets stored.

How to Drastically Boost Your Developer Productivity
Article is dated 2010.

Reading this part was amusing to me, for some people it might make their heads explode (figuratively): "With this in mind, smoking should be commenced at as young an age as is reasonably possible. Children who have not yet developed a pincer grasp might require modified cigarette holders, safety lighters or both."

My own experience is mixed. In high school, I was a cross-country runner (3 mile footrace). I was almost always just one or two positions behind the top five runners on my team (only top five score points in a meet). Many years later, I started to think that maybe my daily exposure (one or two hours) to second-hand cigarette smoke from one of my parents had something to do with me not being faster. This study seems to indicate that might not be true at all. And our fastest runner on the team (competitive at the state level) was known to be an occasional cigarette smoker. Go figure.

There's an easy counter to "I see no practical application for decentralization," which is to provide an example of that application.

I'm not convinced that Bitcoin or currencies are a practical application that results in net gain (economic or otherwise) to humanity. The internet was obvious from day 1, even if the actual end applications ended up quite a bit different.

> how can you not see the utility in an open firehose database/API without gate keepers?

This is what I don't see. The "gate keepers" are often a positive, not a negative. And it's hard for me to imagine what sort of database is being held back because of gatekeepers.
Came here to say this. Pilots are drilled to work an extensive engine-out checklist during training.

Not just Pixel 5 and above, you can transcribe in real time with any android phone using Google Recorder app. Which essentially means that it doesn't need special processor (as they marketed for Pixel 6) or the cloud services to transcribe in real time.

App probably loads a model for offline use, I don't know if you could somehow use that app as an API or something.

Same goes for Chrome. You can see live transcript of any audio in Chrome Desktop without internet. That transcript is readonly and cannot be copy pasted even.

As unlikely as traction to Bitcoin was/is, surely he would have understood the implications it could have to the practitioner of this idea? "bitcoins can not be manipulated by governments or financial institutions and bitcoin transactions occur directly between two parties without a middleman." If he figured that he could make it functionally work with Bit Gold, why would you expose yourself to that.

When a new bureaucracy or organization is first formed it isn't an established route to power so it will tend to be filled with people interested in pursuing the goals it was created for by default. As it continues to exist, however, it attracts people who see it as just a job and people who are interested in power tend to find their way into positions of power within it. I don't think this is a hopeless struggle but you do actually have to struggle if you don't want to see entropy extract its due. The private sector has an advantage here as long as sclerotic organizations are allowed to fail.
I think the argument made implicitly is that with web3 you could actually monetize your contribution. If you run an IRC server you (usually) only have cost. One part of web3 is tokens so you can actually earn some fake money by running an IRC server.

I think if you look at the economics of that though I don't think it will turn out in your favor. You are either making 10ct a month from it or you'll have to heavily invest in hardware to (potentially) turn a profit.

The reason some of that works now is because we have an inflated price of tokens and people are speculating on it going up. But that makes it not an appealing service for you to pay for.

And all of that forgets that the vast majority of people is not willing to pay anything to use a service. No matter how often web3 people will yell "If you don't pay for it, you're the product".

That's an interesting new avenue -- that older passwords are/were recognized too.

I just tried my old password and the error message only says to check the password -- there are no emails sent saying that someone attempted to log into my account with my password.

LastPass did change their systems, supposedly correcting for the issue that we all saw. So the test I just did also isn't really indicative of how their systems were working 2 days ago.

There are still remaining questions:

- the use of "some" and "likely" in LastPass' new announcement -- https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/lastpass-user...

- an explanation on how the false positives happened. What made the system think those attempts were using the correct master passwords?

- an assurance that no correct master passwords were used during the attack -- that they were all false positives (i.e. this attack was strictly credentials stuffing i.e. someone tried a bunch of passwords they obtained from other sources)

- finally, an explanation for the 3 independent cases where people changed their passwords and then received an email again saying someone had attempted to login using their passwords. Those emails may have been false positives as well, but we would have to know.

> I think fact-checking is a hopeless endeavor, but none of the comments here would have convinced me if I didn't already hold this position.

There's a still a problem of scale that fact checkers are attempting to solve. Much like any other outlets of information (news organizations, your neighbor, fact checkers, etc) it is left to the individual to evaluate whether the totality of output from that individual / organization is factually correct. I don't think the answer is to dissuade "fact checkers" similar to that I don't think we should be removing "news organizations" (even biased ones, which they often are), but the need to educate rational thinking skills to be able to evaluate who and how to trust summarized and often opinionated information.

> Are there any real examples of poor fact checking that people can point to?

Even if there were a pile of egregious examples, the conclusion should be to put reduced weight (or none) on the authors of those examples, and not necessarily the idea of fact checking, considering there could be others that more often communicate the nuance of the situation.

(There's also a problem of how fact-checking conclusions are _applied_ into other contexts of course..)
Generally, you're on the hook for the parallelization primitive (Director/worker/reaper/aggregator), and the test data generator/stager.

The actual runner itself is generally pretty dumb, and is just there to take it's chunk of the request load, and dump it's results.

Then you've got the results visualizer that consumes and aggregates everything.

People look at Performance testing/engineering as it's own specialty because you really have to take in everything as a whole. You can totally make a living out of just doing that.

> In a way with cryptocurrency, the real goal of the investors of web3 is recreating the web with a sort of toll system, that can be good and bad but their aim is collecting on actions on new protocols/standards.

One could argue that today's web is a combination of ad-based revenue and tolls run by (near?) monopolies: app stores, marketplaces, ect... The crypto-like alternatives such as substack and patreon are growing though and will likely have a niche even if/when crypto fails. The centralization of those crypto-like alternatives is a risk though. I recall one substack author giving email-export as a rationale to choose substack but that's a feature that presumably could just be turned off whenever.
I think you have this backwards. E-mail is actually a good example of why you shouldn't open up communications systems too much. Because they're more or less free to send, people who want to send advertisements send loads of them. This makes e-mail entirely unusable unless you are very proactive in restricting who can send mail to you. Technical limitations like SPF, DKIM, and so on only prevent the worst abuses. What does really work has been IP blacklisting and reputation systems that more or less make rolling your e-mail very difficult.

Yes, you can roll your own e-mail; but you're taking on the challenge of both getting spam out of your incoming mail as well as getting your outgoing mail to be deliverable to everyone else. As a homelab[0] training exercise, it's fun; but businesses that need reliable mail just outsource it all to Google or Microsoft. The end result is that e-mail users more or less reinvented the restrictive systems that phone service used to have before the FCC opened POTS up to everyone that wanted to call an entire state about the their car's extended warranty.

When you mention spectrum limitations, that's for providing mobile phone service; which is only tangentially related to the actual phone call routing these days. Just getting a dialable number or placing a call is hilariously cheap and plenty of services of varying quality will let you do this in bulk. Providing access to that number over wireless spectrum is the expensive part; but you don't need spectrum to spam people.
