Same. I found that my neighbours were swamping my signal in the outer rooms of my (small) flat and did the booster thing, a couple of ethernet-over-power wifi routers: TP-Link TL-WPA8631Ps

https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/powerline/tl-wpa8...

They were a breeze to set up, pushbutton if you just want to use the same SSID/password as your ISP router. I have this set up to serve the 5GHz on a different SSID tho - that stops my laptop switching to 2.4 and terrible performance. I'd have done this on the ISP's router (a BT homehub) and just pushed the buttons, but since a recent firmware update, the homehub goes into a crashloop if you try this.

I disagree completely on this. People get bank statements, investment transaction statements and other important information as attachments, and they may need to get those years later from emails (it may not be easy to get from the original source and they may have lost their local copies).

Like it or not, e-mail is a document storage medium for most people.
3 Bedroom free-standing house in Australia...

- 200Mbps FTTH (Australia NBN via iiNet)

- ASUS RT-AC68U AC1900 WiFi router running Asuswrt-Merlin

- Internal Cat6 cabling from FTTH NTU to comms closet then to office desk and TV.

- Cisco SPA112 VoIP adapter

- Intel NUC7I7BNH running with external drives for media storage and Plex server (recently had to take it apart and apply new thermal paste due to overheating).

It all works very well.

My next enhancement would likely be some Raspberry Pi-based audio devices/speakers in different rooms and on the back deck, perhaps running balenaSound.

(I keep thinking I should get a proper NAS again; I had one for media and backups years ago but it died, and it's never been a huge urgency to get another one, I guess because there's not so much need for local storage now with the streaming platforms and cloud storage.)

It's not intended to be just a list of domains. It's intended to be called as a Python library (hence the aforementioned PSF member tending it) by actors who want to prevent user registrations on their platforms by users of disposable email domains.

This much is obvious by spending less than five seconds reading the README plastered on the front of repo. You're also welcome to peruse some of the PRs and issues in the repository if the README wasn't clear enough. In fact, go visit the last comment in the PR I linked: a contributor points to a Hacker News comment for reasoning why operators might want to make use of this blocklist.

I'm sorry, but yes it is related as the operators of repositories like this (and there are others) are deaf to the reasons why users make use of these disposable mail domains. That reason is because breaches like this happen daily and these breaches are a threat both to the public IDs we use for emails and to the private passwords we use, should they be poorly secured.

Hours was hyperbole as I actually don't even bother to clean the device and just recommend getting a used iPhone and help them migrate the data, but technically cleaning a device after malware would've involved backing everything up, resetting the device, potentially updating the firmware (or installing a trusted third-party ROM like Lineage) and then reinstalling & configuring all the apps & accounts - I can easily imagine this taking hours especially on a slow internet connection.

I don't think it has anything to do with getting your apps from Play Store vs elsewhere. This is in the UK and despite Google Play being available, back when I worked in a phone store, customers bringing compromised Android devices was fairly common (in fact some of them didn't realize the bullshit ads or spam on their lockscreen/notifications was malware, they thought it was just normal and accepted it), and that was only the stuff I could see - technically there could be plenty more malware that chooses to remain stealthy.

I mean I don't think I'm that far out there, these activities cost a lot of mental energy and leaving my comfort zone, and I like to think that thanks to the pandemic, a lot more people have become OK with being at home.

Anyway yeah, the internet was my social life, it's where I met my live-in girlfriend, it's where I spend my spare time, it's fine for me.

Did the other feature have anything to do with modules? If so, I can't really blame TypeScript too much for that, since the JavaScript ecosystem is pretty fragmented there and TypeScript has to support all the different things that are in use with a reasonable interop story. Build tools that work purely with JavaScript source code also have to deal with this problem.

Otherwise I'm not aware of any cases besides decorators where TypeScript did something that was incompatible with a later ECMAScript development.
It might be true for the fact checking groups described here, but to state that as a general case is incorrect.

> Fact checking is better referred to as "authority enforcement" or "mainstream validation".

Fact checking at its core is about analysing assertions that can be objectively verified.

Fact checking must bring forth strong references/sources or proofs to either go in or against the initial assertions.

> Here's how you know the fact checkers are actually propagandists: you can't find their name or their credentials, or who they work for/paid them.

If a fact checker does not provide this kind of info, then yes, it does not seem very trustworthy. Although you could still evaluate them based on the sources they are using for their fact checking.

But, obviously, it does not have to be the case. Fact checkers can and will provide info about their funding, affiliations, composition, etc...

As an example, you can take a look at the FAQ of this fact checker that was active during the French presidential election of 2017 https://crosscheck.firstdraftnews.org/france-en/faq/ :

As you can see, they clearly state that they received funds from Google News to set things up. They also share details about their partners, members, etc.
OK that was seriously good. Thank you.
In my experience people who dislike subtitles are mostly native English speakers living in English-speaking countries, who are used to the fact that almost all the media they consume is produced in their native language, and so they’ve never developed the ability to read subtitles comfortably.

When the occasional rare case arises where they need to watch a foreign film/show, they find it straining to both read the subtitles and watch the film, and so they conclude that subtitles are bad or “not for them”. In practice this stems from lack of practice — the perceived conscious effort of having to read subtitles while watching a film disappears entirely after you have done it a few times with sufficient regularity, and becomes completely effortless, subconscious, and automatic. But this is a skill that needs to be developed. Saying that subtitles are bad because they distract from the film is like saying that riding a bicycle is bad because you fall all the time, when in reality you just haven’t learned to ride one.

The people always get the governments they deserve.

Putin hasn't been removed - democratically or by violent coup - simply because he is popular with the people who have chosen to be ruled by him.

This doesn't align with the two minutes hate narrative that the West want to use in order to justify its direct interference in Russian democracy - in a sovereign country - so a lot of noise is made to occlude this fact and justify the usurpation of Russian politics.
The censorship was well underway before Trump, at best it accelerated it.
You seem to have a misunderstanding of how democracy works in Europe. There are many different countries in the continent and only some of them have parliamentary systems; others operate more like the USA (and there's even a dictatorship or two). In a parliamentary system a party that wins an outright majority can form a government on their own and do what they want; parties are only forced to form coalitions when they lack a majority.
I’ve been in a sensory deprivation tank. To your question, the first thing you realize is that there’s no chance of drowning so it’s easier to let go. It’s not like you’re into a pool or out in the sea where it’s harder to relax because you’re exposed to externalities or you’re afraid that you might drown. You can’t drown in a tank because there’s like 20 cm of water in there. Once you let go you don’t feel anything. Everything is pitch black, you can’t hear sounds, and of course you don’t feel the water because there’s no movement on the water. You’re inside a controlled environment. It’s also easy to panic and a lot of people do which makes the whole experience extremely uncomfortable, especially if the water gets in your eyes because it’s highly salinated and hurts like a motherf*cker.

Aside from that it’s like meditation once you get the grip of it. But it’s easier than meditation because it doesn’t require a lot of exercise to make it work.
Maybe you are confusing what lingua franca means.
Yes the literature used Latin but at that period only a tiny fraction of people could read or write. There where many more languages that we even have today spoken by the general populace.

French maybe came close to being a Lingua Franca in the 18-19th century when almost all aristocracy could speak, read and write it but then again the people did not.
The Real Lingua Franca was a mix of Italian, French, Spanish and Greek that was used by the merchants of the Mediterranean.
Only English has the People Mass to be considered a Lingua Franca for all intents and purposes.

Or say a band like Radiohead who can be considered a 90s band. Their 00 and 10s albums are brilliant as well.

> why it's actually been one of the most slowly adopted technologies in the last 100 years.

That doesn't agree with the data I've seen for Bitcoin: https://twitter.com/woonomic/status/1356310219215699968?s=19

And "blockchain" is pointless outside of Bitcoin, which might explain why its adoption has been slow as a more general technology. The blockchain was created to solve a very specific problem related to Bitcoin's mission statement (as defined by Satoshi). With that problem solved by Bitcoin, what else is there to use "blockchain" as a technology on exactly? Ok, there might be some very niche use cases that are applicable, but those aren't going to see the technology widely adopted.

> If you have a reputable/reliable source for the number of transactions on the Lightning Network I'd love to see it.

I don't think it's actually possible to determine this. There's no way to see transactions that occur across the entire network. Nodes are only aware of the transactions that route through them. Maybe some clever people have determined a way to infer it, but I'm not aware of any. The metric most people use to judge growth of the Lightning Network is btc capacity i.e. how many bitcoin are "held" in channels between nodes, which is open information.

> The one point which seems completely wrong is #9 - I've never seen agile-hamster-wheel-rituals bog down an enterprise shop. I've seen the other extreme, where in an enterprise, platforms are dealt out to the devs like a deck of cards, and as long as you keep your platforms running and working for the business, your manager barely even checks in with you. I'd easily go days, often weeks, and sometimes even months without any discussions at all with my boss.

I've seen it all. At one place it went from Cowboy Coding where you were left to your own devices for months, straight to SAFe/Scrum/standups;) Both are equally bad and no match to RUP, informal mini-waterfall (think->design->build(iterate)->ship) or Shape Up method.
Note that stuff like basic request logging is likely to¹ fall under “legitimate interest”: you can keep that data, so long as you only use it for diagnostics, debugging and basic analytics (e.g., no selling your server logs to Facebook). You aren't going to get in trouble for your basic Hello World.

And even if it didn't, the only PII that that would gather is IP addresses (and user agents, but I don't know that those count). It's relatively easy to hit your service from a local IP address with a custom User Agent, then check for that IP address and user agent in all the files on the machine. (Log files are pretty much all plain-text, but you could look for the two obvious byte encodings of the IP address too, if you like. Maybe also check the contents of gz files, but that's starting to get silly.)

That's a good question.

To me, the difference is that when we're writing software and just trying semi-random UX ideas and implementation approaches out, we don't have any real constraints that we're genuinely bounded to.

So, yes - throwing crap afu the wall is an optimization process.

It's the other half of the above definition that it misses, IMO.
Some interesting details:

> Unauthorised withdrawals totalled 4,836.26 ETH, 443.93 BTC and approximately US$66,200 in other currencies.

According to The Verge, that's north of $30M USD. To Crypto.com's credit, they reimbursed any users who lost funds in the hack. However later in the press release:

> WAPP is designed to protect user funds in cases where a third party gains unauthorized access to their account and withdraws funds without the user’s permission. WAPP restores funds up to USD$250,000 for qualified users; terms & conditions apply.

Maybe I'm being cynical, but this sounds a CYA move in case this happens again to minimize reimbursement. One of the conditions for the WAPP probably won't sit too well with many cryptocurrency enthusiasts:

Look, the simple answer to your question is no, of course. But, given that we understand the reason why controllers acted the way they did, these criticisms are taking advantage of hindsight, and hindsight is 20/20. The controllers needed to not just shed load, but to keep demand down until the storm passed. They weren't thinking about price/demand elasticity and how much Grandma's electric bill was likely to be. And furthermore, it's not correct to expect every public operator to second-guess every move they make, because it slows down the public sector, increases public sector bloat, increases cover-your-ass behavior, etc.

If you're going to apply hindsight to arrive at a moral judgement, then it's better to apply that hindsight not at the people who were time-stressed to prevent complete grid collapse, but to the gas industry that refused cold-weatherization for short-term profit.

I'm not unsympathetic to the people who got screwed with five figure electric bills. If a state employee screwed up on the pricing, the state should pay the bills. But I wouldn't throw the controller under the bus for it.

Serious question, did you read any of the above comments, or TFA? My immediate reactions are "restaurants and power companies are sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly different in their ownership, provision of services, capital costs, financing, profit-margins, regulatory structure, and whether-they're-a-natural-monopoly" and, perhaps more importantly, "we're in a comment section about utility-company capitalists abandoning everyone to their fates, and making billions doing it".

We're not in a comments section about a theorycrafted threat of that happening, or a comments section about twiddling incentives to encourage WH-like behaviour, we're in a comments section discussing the consequences of capitalist abandonment: namely, they made billions doing it.
