This is one of thise silly things I see only among those with just enough knowledge to shoot their own feet.

The amount malware I see stopped by defender alone is very significant. Just write mediocre malware and send email , 10-15% infection rate. Checkout the loot the emoter gang had accumulated when they got raided or any if the ransomware gangs.

A little learning does much harm!

Most people don't run Linux (Aand most Linux desktop users don't harden). I mean, I could be very lazy and make bank without AVs on windows or Mac.

Dumb PR move from dying company
Agreed. Making money off crypto is a lot like making money from running a casino or offering payday loans...there's plenty of demand, and you can get rich doing it, but the societal costs seem to outweigh the potential benefits.
I had a lot of fun playing with this for over half an hour now! For some reason this fascinates me. Thanks!
I've been typing with the same speed for the last 30 years. It is not improving so I really doubt special exercise will do anything but marginal improvement.
Twilio does not allow a user to "consent" to receive spam.

This is specifically covered in their ToS by the way.

"We never allow some types of content on our platform, even if our customers get consent from recipients for that content."

This is for the simple reason that a lot of folks are using Twilio for application to person / transaction messaging - and the key to delivery quality is to have no crap content going out.

If you operate an open relay for email - your IP address is going to be blacklisted very quickly. Same here, if twilio allows spam and fishing to go out, deliverability is going to go way down. Down the chain people don't know folks have "opted in" to the facebook phishing emails.

Sign up here for a code to win XXX. Then they send you the code (which is the twilio opt in code) and bam, you are in the spam list. All these things have happened on the email and other platforms side already.

I imagine this isn't a common problem, even for North Korean startups, but was funny to read nevertheless.

Interestingly, there's a whole generation of startups that help startups store their free cash better than normal bank accounts in the US nowadays. The markets!
anecdotal: It's very revealing to be very depressed with occasional panic attacks. When depressed, while not necessarily wanting to die, I would simply not want to be. Yet, sometimes, a panic attack would sneak in and I would momentarily (15-60m) be terrified of dying and not being. After its passing, it would be straight back to being very depressed.
It's an awful state of being but illuminating at how much brain state matters to perception. It's obvious, but experiencing it is jarring.

The appeal of vocabulary games is that they encourage you to flex your memory. They remind you of words you know that you might not use under normal circumstances.

As for the luck, sure, there's some of that. But you have plenty of guesses to get to the word if you play according to letter frequency, and always maximize the information you'll get out of a guess. Think of it like counting cards. The goal is to shift the odds as much in your favor as possible. Most games are like that. Deterministic, perfect-information games are a just a small subset of games.
> By the same logic if the group at large isn't giving a consistent story then unfortunately there is serious disagreement and you shouldn't just trust those at the top.

I read this as "consistent among themselves" or "consistent among their own findings and predictions" or "consistently in the same direction, but with wildly different degrees" and I think they are all valid.
When one observes technological solutions failing to address societal problems time and time again, one has to wonder if societal solutions might be better suited.

I found this to be an issue as well, but there are a few ways around this for when you need to debug something. The most useful approach I found was to launch a new container from a standard image (like Ubuntu) which shares the same process namespace, for example:

docker run --rm -it --pid=container:distroless-app ubuntu:20.04

You can then see processes in the 'distroless-app' container from the new container, and then you can install as many debugging tools as you like without affecting the original container.

Alternatively distroless have debug images you could use as a base instead which are probably still smaller than many other base images:

I agree... looking is something that deserves investigating.

For example, I had a coworker who had a habit of reading people's screens from behind - what news website article you were reading, or email, or whatever. He was just a nosy person with no sense of other people's personal space. It was definitely offputting and annoying, and felt like an invasion of my privacy. Still, I wouldn't consider this something he should be fired over - more like something a superior should have raised & discouraged. Reading the comment felt more like that, rather than a hostile workplace thing that warrants immediate firing without an investigation.
This has become one of my favorites since I learned about it from NYT. It's more fun if you use the "hard mode" where your next word attempt has to include the right letters/spaces found in the prior try.

Why would you need Web3 to do that? You can just make a regular site that has a pay wall or a site like Gumroad where you can pay what you want for products, media, etc.

Corollarious question, why would a pirate pay on your site when they can just...pirate it for free elsewhere? Seems like the value proposition for your site for pirates is worse than current piracy.
One of the concerns, at least in certain circles, about phones without easily removed batteries is, "How do you know if they're actually off?"

This PoC demonstrates how you can hook various iOS processes and convincingly simulate turning an iPhone off, while the phone is still powered on, connected to the network, and able to stream audio/video out. It includes a believable boot icon and animation when "powered back on" as well.
Take the time to learn, it is absolutely worth it. Do not pay attention to the comments saying "you will be at some speed soon" as that's not your aim. Learn to type precisely with as little errors. It will take you several months to just learn the keys. That's fine, it's like coding, learning the slow and hard way, you are in it for the long game. Good luck!

The secret plan for the days after the Queen’s death (2017)
I'm surprised by the negative reaction to this in some of the comment. I don't think this is an attack on modern medicine or drugs, but I think it resonates because it highlights the impersonal, 1 sized fits all approach we often encounter in modern medicine.

I suffered a spontaneous pneumothorax (collapsed lung) at the end of 2020, and it was a difficult case that ended up with me spending 5 weeks in the hospital, a major thoracic surgery and home with a chest tube for 3 more weeks.

I'm extremely grateful to modern medicine. 100 years ago I would have just lost function of the lung and probably eventually died. 30 years ago I probably would have lived, but the surgery would have involved spreading open my ribcage and my recovery would have been much longer and harder. All the pain medications are way more effective than willow bark. So yes, profoundly grateful and happy we have modern medicine.

My doctors and nurses were all generally compassionate and professional, and overall I can say my care was good.

However;

The experience really highlighted to me how mental health or consideration of the whole person is not considered in today's medical environments. Most people intuitively knows that it's harder to recover, or even avoid falling ill when your environment is oppressive, never mind recover from major trauma. The lack of plants, fresh air, art or any other kind of environmental beauty, 24/7 artificial light, never getting more than 4 hours of sleep in a stretch etc. I don't blame the hospitals given the current environment they operate in, but it's clear we focus only on the person's issues in isolation, and try to forget they are a person, and the disposition of a persons spirit and mental state can either aid or hinder healing. This is true in an outpatient sense too, and even in family medicine (at least in Canada) where quality of life issues are rarely considered important.

Anyway, this is a long winding way of saying I think we can both appreciate the advantages of modern medicine while appreciating and desiring a move towards a more wholistic view of a person's quality of life and subjective experience while dealing with health issues.
I imagine these stats have a lot more to do with the roughness of the water than the temperature. Rough water can be extremely difficult and stressful to stay up in, especially if you're not used to it.

Also, if you get tossed off a boat in the North Sea, chances are that the water is not very calm.
Between this and Tesla citing climate change as a reason for dropping crypto, this is actually a very interesting shift, and one that might be very bad for crypto.

The amount of money people actually donated or spent with crypto has always been minimal. (Wish I had harder numbers to back this up, but you can see second-order effects from e.g. Steam adding Bitcoin support but then taking it away. Or how Bitpay has stagnated heavily, while a purely investment/speculation platform like Coinbase is worth billions.) However, for a long time, the benefit of accepting Bitcoin as payment was the marketing. Accepting crypto signaled that you were a cool company, you could put out a press release and the news media would run articles about how X service is now accepting cryptocurrency for payments.

The same thing happened again years later with "blockchain." Remember Kodakcoin? Remember Long Island Blockchain? Nothing ever really surfaced from these initiatives, but again, it was all about that big marketing hype that came from saying your company was going to use blockchain for... something.

Where it gets interesting is... what if crypto becomes anathema? What if accepting crypto or holding crypto starts become so closely associated with directly causing climate change, that no company is going to want to be openly associated with crypto, NFTs, etc due to the negative association?

You have one side hyping up Web3 as the next evolution as the web, but if the perception of crypto continues to be that it's a significant contributor to climate change -- regardless of how true that may be -- we could see a major decline in mainstream support.
Yep it's the same for me - dark when I go to work and after I finish. But I'm not taking any supplements at all so I'm just wondering if you personally notice a difference between when you do and don't take it.

In my eyes, nuclear weapons are both much less and much more terrifying that they seem to be considered by most people.

The smallest nuclear devices aren't anywhere close to as large as commonly believed. An M28 "Davy Crockett" with a yield of 20T - 0.02kT - isn't that much different from a conventional GBU-43/B MOAB, which has a yield of 11T.

Tactical nuclear weapons are basically a faster and more effective version of conventional strategic bombing. "Little Boy", the first weapon used in combat (in Nagasaki), had a yield of 15kT. That resulted in an estimated 66k deaths and 70k injuries. Compare that to the firebombing of Tokyo, which killed ~100k civilians and burned the homes of over a million more.

Strategic nuclear weapons... they're in a whole other category. Obviously lots of people are killed during conventional strategic bombing, but most of the damage is ultimately done through fires set by the destruction of the intended targets. Some people have a chance to escape.

What's more, conventional bombing is WW2 wasn't generally a "one-night" affair; it took days or weeks to saturate a target to the point of neutralizing it, and after the first couple of attacks many people would have left the target area. The firebombing of Tokyo resulted in so many civilian casualties precisely because it was a (very effective) one-night event, and people didn't have a chance to flee. That was exceptional even in WW2.

Strategic nuclear weapons are effectively instant. They're incredibly powerful. We stopped building bigger ones not because we didn't know how, but because we couldn't see any reason to. If a 50MT blast won't do the job, a 500MT blast isn't going to either... so why spend the money to develop, create, and maintain bigger ones?

Finally, the idea that even a full nuclear exchange between major powers would be an extinction-level event is absurd. It would utterly destroy the countries involved, devastate the world economy, and poison huge swaths of the planet practically in perpetuity. Between the direct and indirect damage and the societal impacts on the remainder of humanity, it would set us back centuries as a species - but we would rebuild and it would take much less time to do so than it did to get to where we the first time.
VR may or may not be bad for your eyes. The deeper question is what it is doing to your experience of life. Just as there are lots of stories in the news about how we all need to get out into nature, before long there will be pieces on how important it is to spend a few hours a day in the real world.

Our daughter had a fever for four days over the holidays. We literally could not even get into see a pediatrician or an urgent care. There was nothing available.

If a minor cold is enough to cripple our healthcare system, you have to wonder if maybe there is some other reason our hospitals aren't able(or willing) to go back to normal.

I spend thousands of dollars on health INSURANCE every year. If I go to the ER it still costs me over $2k. The last time I went to the ER, I didn't even see a doctor ONCE.
> well the problem is people don't put "self care, relaxation, valuable time with family" on the TODO list. ever. If you make it a priority then you'd get it done.

In general people seem to be fairly bad at getting things that are important but not urgent (hat tip to the Eisenhower Matrix) done unless they establish a habit for it. Holidays are valuable in that they at least reduce the need for coordination between multiple parties somewhat, at least for "valuable time with family", but they don't really help with the "self care and relaxation" bucket. Quite the contrary, for many.
Maybe probably not. I bought Teach your monster to read but I won’t Buy YouTube videos.
I don't see why it's misleading to call ads that are deliberately designed to look like legitimate search results (and which are themselves explicitly designed to misinform and misdirect) "fake". You can call it "spin" if you want to. But I don't see how you call it misleading.

Allowing your biases doesn't help actual debate on the complex issues.

As if the companies that place these ads are interested in "debate".

also may be an indicator that the average person doesn’t realize crypto need not be tied to high energy use. it is like saying trains are a bad idea because they burn coal - but now years later, we have far more energy efficient trains.
No, they aren't designed for this use case. Sending messages from third parties is always MUCH higher risk then sending your own messages.

Same principal with money transfer. If you start accepting money from someone to transfer to another person that is MUCH MUCH higher risk - every bank / online payment player should be looking out for that and probably getting you into a different account type.

Twilio is clear, they are designed for systems where you message folks.
Took me a while searching around in that article to figure out what EDI is:

> Since each business has multiple trading partners, and each of its trading partner operates on different business systems, “point to point” integration of these transactions (that is, mapping Walmart’s internal database format directly to the QuickBooks JSON API) would require the recipient to have detailed knowledge of many different transaction formats – for example, a company selling to three customers running on NetSuite, SAP, and QuickBooks, respectively, would need to understand NetSuite XML, SAP IDoc, and QuickBooks JSON. Maintaining familiarity with so many systems isn’t practical; to avoid this explosion of complexity, businesses instead use commonly-accepted intermediary formats, which are broadly known as Electronic Data Interchange – EDI.
What exactly are you forking here? Your README implies that it's for iOS, where every browser is just a skin over Apple's WebKit engine.

Most of the nitrogen in our rivers and lakes causing problems isn't from farmers use of fertilizer. Farmers are in a low margin business and if they use too much nitrogen they make less money.

A lot of it used to be caused by manure runoff from large animal operations. But twenty or more years ago laws were changed and regulators focused their attention on correcting this problem. There are always exceptions but mostly this problem is fixed. Farmers have to file plans on which lands gets manure, complete with soil tests showing they're not overdoing it.

I helped farmers in the late nineties fill out these reports in my former career as an agronomist. Back then some larger farmers were either moving to composting or using the manure to power plants creating electricity.

So where is it coming from now? Lawn fertilizer! People over fertilizing their lawns.
Yes, I am aware that these donations don't fund browser development, and that hucksters laundered the reputation of Firefox to take donations to advance their social causes instead of the browser.
