I worked at Twilio for 6 years, the carriers would never allow the thing you are asking for.

Twilio outbounds the SMS message over the carrier network. Part of that relationship is that Twilio has to prevent spam from entering the carrier network, or the carriers will ban the interconnect.

Here's the full workflow of this situation.

The inbound leg looks like this.

[Spammer] -SMS-> [Carrier] -SMS-> [Twilio] -HTTP-> [Customer]

The outbound leg looks like this (the customer initiates this in response to the HTTP request)

[Customer] -HTTP/TWIML-> [Twilio] -SMS (SPAM DETECTION HERE)-> [Carrier] -SMS-> [Employee]

All of these parties are separate entities, each enforcing spam blocking. Twilio is incentivized to not transit spam over the Carrier because the Carrier will get upset at Twilio. Twilio has no way to tell the Carrier "Oh, hey, this is spam, but the customer owns the number and they said they were cool with getting spam, please don't get angry"
Most sources I read indicate the opposite: poor and middle class people are much less likely to be debtors rather than creditors. They're more likely to have an auto loan rather than own a car outright. Likewise, they're more likely to have a mortgage on their home rather than own it. The wealthy, by comparison, are more likely to invest their money, issuing loans to other people.
Isn’t this why there’s a correlation between Asperger’s and engineers?

The same kind of logical, exacting thinking necessary for mastery of physical systems is in tension with the kinds of thinking used in social games. Some brains are better at one than the other — and we have disorders at both extremes.

I’ve always wondered if autism and dyscalclia are something of “polar opposites”.
You sure know that places like China or Russia strictly forbid Starlink use? How'd you plan to use a service like this if it's considered a major offense by the autocracy?
It's only "luck" if you actually know all the words - most people do passively, but can they find the right one actively? That's part of the 'skill'. The other part is constructing a mental graph that allows you to find your way to the correct word within 6 steps, regardless of the word. An interesting question is whether there is actually any luck involved and how much. i.e. What is the optimal graph reducing the luck factor to a minimum, and is there a perfect one, if you know all words in the game?

People who say "it's just luck" either don't know, or don't care - but it's neither a correct, nor a clever position.
Even employees of those companies can't get help when they need it. I've seen a case where an employee's account was incorrectly banned (or well that was their assumption) and they still couldn't get through to any of the teams.

It's getting pretty rediculous
The way I imagine this is best solved is by keeping a compressed set of tools on your host and then mounting those tools into a volume for your container.

So if you have N containers on a host you only end up with one set of tooling across all of them, and it's compressed until you need it.

You can decouple your test tooling from your images/containers, which has a number of benefits. One that's perhaps understated is reducing attacker capabilities in the container.

With log4j some of the payloads were essentially just calling out to various binaries on Linux. If you don't have those they die instantly.
Springer retracts hundreds of “nonsensical” articles
Are you sure immigrants can all vote in their home countries if they don't live there?

I am American, and can vote in local elections in Norway because I've lived here, legally, at least 3 years. This isn't uncommon, and I find it fair since these are the things that impact me the most. I cannot vote in national elections. Also fair. On the other hand, the American voting forms for me make sure to ask if I ever intend on living there again. I have limited voting in the US, and I sure as heck don't expect any politician to do anything for me unless it'd look good for propaganda.

This is all besides the point: the original post was talking about folks that cannot participate in the democracy they live in.

I'm not even sure what you were trying to say with the last comment. Could you please explain it?
Honestly, it's really simple: two weeks and that's it.

Been there 2 years and haven't gotten a raise/promotion? 2 weeks.

Been there 10 years and are bored/didn't get what you want? 2 weeks.

Don't fall over yourself helping the company. Chances are they are going to forget you in 3 months anyway.
The hyperbole in your statement is not obvious.

FHIR will take over, but I wouldn't call that a good thing. the development of FHIR is extremely haphazard, most of it will turn into a generic KV store and miss a lot of the great systems thinking in EDI. It's as if they lowered the barrier to entry at the expense of robust document exchange.

Hopefully Stedi can make adopting EDI easier and increase its popularily over the next 50 years and there isn't such a demand to create alternative systems.
> Soaring prices of fuel and gas, not electricity.

Nat gas accounts for about 20% of Kazahktan's electricity generation mix.

> And Kazahk authorities are far from democratic, they block internet in whole country to stop the protests, they did strange things with internet access last year also. And they invited Russian troops to stop the unrest. And their (or the invited) military shoots to kill its own citizens.

This is all true, but also a bit beside the point given the above exchange.

But, whatever. Suppose I concede this point that coal consumption doesn't really have much of anything at all to do Kazahktan's current unrest. Doesn't that make nalrey's comment here totally moot?
It is only negative interest if the stock goes up. It is positive interest if the stock goes down. So you could call it a variable rate loan to invest in the company's stock. I would not choose to take out such a loan against the growth rate of the company I also rely on to pay my salary.

I would actually like RSUs more if they granted me shares in a basket of stocks of competitor companies. At least then it would hedge my already high exposure to the fortunes of the company I work for.
I was not trying to blame the individual, sorry if it appeared that way.

Mostly it is the unique messed up american system of credit information exchange where consumers have no control over how their data gets collected/used/sold.

I have never signed up an agreement with Equifax to store my personal data only to get it stolen occasionally. I wish US adopted more european centric models for personal data.
It doesn't mean that at all, its but that real world is not made for rationallity, and even if we have created special contexts where it is, it doesn't mean it can be generalized out of them.
@o10449366 what is the $60 website you mentioned?
A lot of people are expressing doubt about the utility of faster typing speed--rightly so, since that is the focus of the article. However, as a prose writer, I'm actually quite excited about this kind of device. When I'm typing 50,000+ characters of prose per week, every week, that's a lot of finger strain with a QWERTY keyboard--and I feel it. If a device let me accomplish that work with less net impact on my hands, even if it wasn't any faster, I would embrace that in a heartbeat.
Eh, no. The Bitcoin mines are actually threatening the government, because they are contributing to a local rise in the price of gas and electricity which is driving revolts. So the government is definitely going to kick them out.

Key results

Our review found that water fluoridation is effective at reducing levels of tooth decay among children. The introduction of water fluoridation resulted in children having 35% fewer decayed, missing and filled baby teeth and 26% fewer decayed, missing and filled permanent teeth. We also found that fluoridation led to a 15% increase in children with no decay in their baby teeth and a 14% increase in children with no decay in their permanent teeth. These results are based predominantly on old studies and may not be applicable today.
This is only partly true. HotSpot is pretty amazing performance wise. For certain code patterns it really does produce assembly competitive and even better than what you get from the equivalent vanilla C++ solution.

The issues are (a) it only kicks in once something gets profiled quite a few times (so your first encounters with a function - the one you base your impressions of usually, are at its worst), (b) the overhead of JIT weighs down the machine further at exactly the moment (a) is occurring. And then (c) there are quite a lot of code patterns and in particular architectural styles encouraged by the Java ecosystem that are hostile to this whole process.

I do wonder why Java has not gone the python direction of caching the JIT output in binary form so at least the 2nd time you launch an app it doesn't need to be redone every time.
Sounds kinda like the chatbot becomes a fuzzy search interface, difference is the presentation. Regardless, definitely better than picking from 1000 product list. I think I would like a natural language (type-in) date picker with a good preview of what the result will be.

I don't get this advice. At least in tech it is understood that everyone has their eye open for the next big opportunity. If one comes along, I'm not going to hesitate to take it. It doesn't have to mean that there's a problem in my current role that I need to address with my manager. Sometimes you simply know that it is time to leave and try something new. If my current company is "surprised" by my decision and unprepared for my absence then that's on them.
Thanks for responding. I havn't caught any downvotes yet (or maybe, they disappeared into upvotes). I put that in there because I know the subject matter might become a downvote magnet ... and if it does, so be it. I'm glad you articulating the topic with more precision than I have.

As far as those outcomes goes, I don't think we are adequately tracking this, for covid-19 or for other health concerns. I have zero idea how much of this influences things with covid-19, which is why I am raising these questions. I'm more interested in seeing that these questions are asked, and whatever answers we find, they are what they are.

My own personal experience is that "psychosomatic" as a term has been used to dismiss or handwave those poorly understood mechanisms -- not necessarily with covid-19 specifically, but more in general. I'm similar to other DIY body hackers, but I work more along the lines of working with consciousness rather than something like DIY gene therapy. Some of my personal experiments yielded some results, and some have not. It's part of why these questions came up for me.
EDI is not hard!!!! Period! Like some file formats, it’s unnecessarily complicated. The biggest problem in this industry is that there’s a monopoly and many companies are being FORCED to use these arcane and costly service providers.

I build and integrate EDI solutions for small/mid and retail juggernauts.
I wonder how they currently compare regarding battery life. Neither have ever been anything to write home about regarding battery life but my passed experience has been Firefox is much worse than Chrome across macOS, Windows, Linux and Android.
That's an insanely pollyanna take on quitting. What's the worst that could happen? You could get fired for looking for another job. This happens. Most people I know have worked for someone toxic, or worked for a toxic organization.

If you work for nice people and things just don't align, yeah, sure, this approach may be fine, but it's by no means universal.
It's a little early to say, but someone posted it on r/InternetIsBeautiful last month and it had about 75K visitors over two days. It looks like the front page of HN will be just a fraction (20%?) of that traffic.

Reddit is truly massive, but I appreciate the HN discussions more.
Heeding this advice would be much more generous than employers typically are, especially in an at-will employment environment. In my experience, employers give zero notice and provide zero assistance helping an employee find a replacement.
That's likely because (many) autistic people (myself included) have to learn to function with emotional regulation issues largely by second-guessing them. So the 'gut feeling' a neurotypical would tend to go with gets overridden by subsequent analysis in the autistic individual, in their attempt to 'calm the storm'. In my case, this causes me to 'throw out' most political hyperbole.

Unfortunately, if the shit really does hit the fan, this process can lead to validation of the emotions and an 'autistic meltdown'. So it's a double-edged sword, to be sure
ADHD isn't well defined. I'd say lots of folks who aren't "traditionally ADHD" exhibit this behaviour.
Probably Bulgaria, Romania, or Poland.
Hi Chris - CEO of Twilio here. I'm sorry for the issue. Fighting bad actors sucks, but we can do better to communicate with good faith builders like yourself. Mind sending me a note with your account at jeff@twilio.com, and I'll escalate for you.
What's the alternative? This shows what % is known to be illicit. No crime stats about anything capture 100% of illicit activity, yet it's still useful information. Anything else is just guesswork.
...or the complaints that caused the account suspension didn't come from Twilio. More than likely, the employee cell carrier noticed the spam and sent an automated complaint to Twilio, and then Twilio acted.

That doesn't excuse poor support, and the lack of resolution, but it changes a lot of the assumed processes.
It’s had, what, 13 years? And it’s still a solution in search of a problem.
That's not quite equivalent, unless the company gives you all of the cash upfront.
I guess the Toledo (the Ohio one) Water Crisis was lost on them.

Could happen to any city on the Great Lakes.

> Lake Erie, which is a source of drinking water for the Toledo water system may have been impacted by a harmful algal bloom (HAB). These organisms are capable of producing a number of toxins that may pose a risk to human and animal health. HABs occur when excess nitrogen and phosphorus are present in lakes and streams. Such nutrients can come from runoff of over-fertilized fields and lawns, from malfunctioning septic systems and from livestock pens.

https://neiwpcc.org/information-center/neiwpcc-reprint-serie...

> It took a serendipitous slug of toxins and the loss of drinking water for a half-million residents to bring home what scientists and government officials in this part of the country have been saying for years: Lake Erie is in trouble, and getting worse by the year.

Someone clearly is still imaging the stuff - and then building it!
Yes, your local jurisdiction can. Many of us have never had such a requirement.
Yeah, this thread is full of people who didn't take enough time to read anything. We're all too quick nowadays to get angry and type without thinking, sadly.
> I'm not 100% sure, but I think in 2012 chatbots still used handcoded rules. So we switched from handcoded rules to trainable neural networks in just a few years. Models like GPT-3 are interesting because they are conceptually simple, and are able to do (previously) complicated tasks without any explicit training (e.g. simply by processing lots of text and trying to predict the next word). This is a huge advancement in AI field, even if many more advancements are needed to get to the human level.

This seems like a very optimistic take on the timeline.

It took us 50 years to go from ELIZA to GPT-3. And it still is "dumb" compared to human intelligence.

So how long for the next major achievements? Are we talking years for each, or more decades?
Used to be Slovenia. Now more Slovenian democratic repulic. Democratic in the name so you know democracy works...
Basically theres a fundamental trade off between the ebb and flow of social interaction and cohesion, which follows predefined and implicit rules, and then the autistic ability to actually be objective/think rationally without being clouded by norms
I think you're being downvoted because your assumption is wrong. I'm pretty sure you can negotiate a higher total compensation than the advertised salary. Would love to know if that's wrong though!
How is the privacy benchmark going?

Firefox is plenty fast for me and my data is not shared with Google when I use the web. That's worth so much more to me than winning in synthetic benchmarks.
>What is the methodology behind determining whether crypto transactions were illicit? I thought the whole point of using crypto was that transactions could not be traced.

The whole purpose of Bitcoin is to decentralize trust though p2p distributed and decentralized database called blockchain and to solve "double spend" problem.

Read Bitcoin whitepaper.
This feels like native advertising.

But effective! I may buy one just in case it works.
"Can be" is pretty critical. Most hydrogen is currently produced from methane (natural gas) via steam reforming. The barriers toward renewable production are economic, not technological, but at current prices natural gas is a lot cheaper than electrolysis.

On the plus side, it's good to know that fertilizer isn't a blocker from going fossil-fuel free.
It also ignores that if you booked a trip to a place, you likely did so because you want to go to that place. Thus, if you were forced to cancel your trip due to a conflict, it is implicitly more likely that you would book a trip there again in the future - a rain check, essentially.

If the question was "Which of these trips would you like to pay for twice?", then it's immediately obvious that the cheaper trip should be cancelled.
How? Browsers need to die. Move all Js to apps and have browsers just display images/video/text in the way that we have found applies to 99% of modern use cases. The only reason Js existed was to afford more flexibility in the time that we didn’t know yet how the web would be used. Move all the code into apps where sandboxing/reputation can handle the security issues more effectively than Js.
Your original comment read "keyboard provide a substantial advantage" without specifying an advantage over what, so I assumed you meant an advantage of the most commonly use controllers, not advantage over other stickless controllers. Even ignoring that, stickless controllers are still very much a minority, so an advantage over traditional controllers would still be a large advantage over the pool of competitors especially at lower levels.
> Quitting should never be a surprise for your boss

I get the spirit of this. But someone whos in tech on a visa, this is absolutely the worse advice. The fear or retaliation is real, especially in bigger firms where your manager has a lot of say. The moment higher ups have the slightest inkling that you're looking for other jobs, you'll soon get pushed out.
I think the very first sentiment is the most universal one:

Your quitting should not be a surprise to your manager.

Just like year-end review (for those companies that have it) should not be a surprise to the employee - feedback should be continuous. Similarly, if your (rational, to another posters point) manager's reaction is one of complete shock and surprise, it may be a sign you two weren't communicating sufficiently and planned/discussed your goals/expectations/challenges/direction/etc.
Aren't Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina in the same trade union? I don't know the details of Mercosur but in the EU you can buy whatever you want in any other EU country and take it back home without the need for customs. Where is the black market part of that trade?

As for your trade example I would like to see the details of that.
There are not a lot of vendors that accept crypto and those who do, use 3rd parties which then usually require some amount of KYC (even if it's is minimal). Combine that with how many vendors are actually able/willing to ship to the country in question and you are left with a very small set of online stores. Add shipping costs and custom fees that will eat in your margin. So yes in theory you can setup an import/export company empire in order to exchange your crypto into local currency but that is pretty much the definition of "not scaling".

My point is: if a country wants to make cryptocurrency useless they can totally do it.

No.

It’s more akin to a public authority.
This is the sort of extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence to support it, and there are many potential confounding factors.
You are totally correct that in Paxos the proposer is supposed to "carry-forward" the value proposed by somebody else. In this view, which is how everybody understands Paxos, Paxos is an algorithm for consensus.

However, the proposer can also modify the value proposed by somebody else, and it turns out that this is a perfectly valid algorithm for implementing a distributed read-modify-write. This variant does more than just consensus---it basically behaves like a fault-tolerant memory with an atomic update operation (think compare-and-swap or load-linked/store-conditional). In his blog post, GP also mentions that paxos is a read-modify-write transaction, but perhaps I read too much into what he is saying. Either way, this RMW variant is correct, I have verified it exhaustively with TLA+, and it is used in a few production systems that I have implemented.

The difficulty is now to say exactly what this RMW variant does. I was hoping that GP (or anybody else) may have some insights.
I think you’ll start seeing more and more mining operations move over into renewable energy, similar to what Tera Wulf (WULF) has done.

My favorite vending machine you never knew existed (no not live beetles or panties because you knew about those), is the fresh baguette machines that you can find on small town streets across rural France. There are all kinds of ultrafancy modern vending machines these days, but there's something magical about identifying a real market fit for whole street baguettes.
Well you can use USD representation like tether or GUSD.

You may want to acquaint yourself with taxation in Argentina. There is a tax just to put money in your bank account. To deposit your money. I recall it being small but above 1% but I can't remember the amount off hand (Edit: 0.6% for business account transaction) [0]. I'm not sure if there's any mandatory exchanging to pesos when depositing, but that may be the case. I'm not Argentinian. If that is the case it makes things way worse.

You have to bring the USD into the country somehow. I think crypto is a convenient way to do that which avoids capital controls imposed when entering the banking system. I guess you can bring in gobs of cash on your person and that works as well, although there's the tradeoff of being robbed or whatever. But bringing in USD sounds OK too for some people and it is very easy to smuggle in border with Paraguay as there is basically no control at the border. For some it may be a personal preference.
