Bitcoin was bad enough. Decentralized, digital money! Networked computers with spare CPU cycles (think, SETI@Home project) cranking out something VALUABLE!

A developer named Laszlo Hanyecz was the first person to use Bitcoin for a commercial transaction, on May 22, 2010, when Bitcoin was a little over a year old, he bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC. The day is now known as "Bitcoin Pizza Day."

Completely unregulated, other people create other forks of cryptocurrency, and use them to PUMP UP the value of Bitcoin itself. Computers in far corners of the universe generate trillions of "Tether" coins, which are then used to buy BTC.

A digital asset, that always goes UP! Numbers go UP! That got everyone's attention.

=== ====

Now those two pizzas cost Laszlo 380 million dollars. Cryptocurrencies drain more electricity than the entire country of Argentina.

And just when it seemed things couldn't get any worse, they started selling NON-FUNGIBLE digital assets, like a unique URL pointing to a JPG image online. For 69 Million US Dollars!

That got everyone's attention, again.
You can launch kind clusters with some nodeports binded to your workstation, they are just docker containers after all.

My favorite way is to use metallb - simply deploy it with the same subnet cidr of your docker kind network and your loadbalancer services will be routable from your workstation
A certain national bank which I shall not name had a banner on top of its app. The link opens a web page that goes to double click and then opens the bank's website. Why would a bank app take me through a double click link just to take me back to their own website? My guess is this is the same reason why eBay shows you ads for things you just bought. There are massive inefficiencies in these large organizations. I'm sure everything they do is locally optimal but not even close globally.

My argument about the "complexity" of DRF is that you need to use its serializers (frankly if you're just returning raw dicts then you're already not far off from built-in, generic Django function-based views) which I guess some people may consider complex especially if the data you're representing doesn't originate from models.
Why is that any more difficult than calculating color reflection/absorption on a surface? Both presumably involve multiplication in spectrum space.
For source code, check out Local History if you’re using JetBrains IDEs. If not, there are similiar plugins for other editors too.
Thanks. That makes sense. Too bad the property that gets lost completely in the process is flavor.
Even if you're happy with a certain provider, they're pretty likely to disappear or change stuff drastically anyway.

When you own it you keep something even if the worst happens, and so there are still people loyal to Saab, VB6, the Sega Dreamcast, or whatever. But being loyal to Google Stadia is more risky.

I guess it depends on the kind of proof we are entertaining. If the proof were so obvious that all observers immediately drew the same conclusion, (e.g., message in the sky, "Experiment #323481 is ending in X days."), then chaos might ensue. I don't see why an intelligent designer would intervene with the simulation without a very good reason. It's hard to imagine such a scenario, perhaps some kind of a test for transcendence, e.g., pass the test and get materialized in "outside" world.

If proof of simulation existed, I think it would be more abstruse, e.g., error states in quantum field theory. If this proof were only accessible to the intelligencia, I doubt the reaction would be very different from that of a new religion. Some would proclaim divine providence like the prophets of yore (perhaps it was a miracle, or perhaps they just saw Jesus in the toast). I doubt anything short of an exploitable error would cause a disturbance to life as we know it. On the other hand, if we could exploit it...
There isn’t a great excuse for it anymore, as Canvas (or your favorite other LMS) has a big button pre and post submit that will show your document as it appears for the teacher.
My solar flare ate my homework.
That's something you can get with DRF pretty much out of the box as long as you use its routers, viewsets and serializers. DRF serializers are different than just Python type-hints, but not more complex - it's just different syntax.
Blackrock&blackstone are using pension and federal stimulus money to push censorship of people opposing their agenda. Not their own money. They are also pushing a new non-free-market system change, ESG, using other peoples or fed money.

Both the way they get they money they bully with and what they push is therefore anti free market.

Yandex will do it for free up to 1,000 users.
Sure - happy to elaborate here, re-reading my response I understand the confusion here as my choice language wasn't great ;-)

I didn't say anywhere that you MUST support HTTP unsubscribes, but I just said it was preferable (to me at least).

HTTP typically means there is some sort of form which will typically auto-fill the email address from the database (because of the HTTP GET parameters included in the link) and all the user has to do is generally click 'Unsubscribe' and the address is automatically removed from the database.

The reason I prefer this is that if I or one of my colleagues want to unsubscribe a spam trap, then we can - but only if the above is true. (Disclaimer: we only do this very occasionally, usually it's only if we've spoken to someone and are convinced they are legitimate, have fixed any issues we've identified, but are hitting traps because of a single address - if we didn't do this then we'd either have to force the sender to reconfirm their entire database by asking everyone to opt-in again, or we'd have to whitelist the sender, neither are great options - so if we ever do this, then it's done hours/days after the event so as to not tip off anyone on what the trap was).

Because spam traps have to stay secret, we only reference them by a hash value internally (and only I and a select few can convert hash to trap value to do the unsubscribe) and as the messages are received on our trap network the traps themselves are obfuscated to a know value before they are stored in our evidence system.

mailto: means we can't do this at all - a trap can never originate traffic, that's cardinal rule of them, it would be grossly unfair if they did.

> - What do you mean by unsubscribe without contacting me? Isn't HTTP or SMTP just as much contacting me?

Poor use of words from me.

What I meant is that I don't trust messages that have an unsubscribe that does not encode the recipient in it in some way e.g. HTTP method without GET parameters (as this means I would have to do considerably more work to fill out the form) or a mailto:foo@domain.com?subject=unsubscribe - both to me scream our that there is no automatic connection to a database and that someone on the receiving end has to manually remove the address - which could take weeks, or be never.
Not really, if you look at levels.fyi you'll see that even in formerly "cheap" locales (India, Ukraine, etc) FAANG & comparable companies are paying 6 figures for experienced devs. There is obviously still a discount, but it's more like 3-5x rather than 10x, and rapidly shrinking (even as compensation in the US continues to skyrocket).
One of my college compsci professor didn't know anything about manipulating SMTP headers or manually crafting email messages. Couldn't abuse it too much, but could certainly turn in an assignment 8-12 hours late... because the timestamps would be before the cutoff. Any questions were allayed with "oh, you know email. Strange things happens, delays and all that".

We weren't even sending email on a public server, we were just using email on the local compsci server. Checking our messages with pine/alpine. The excuses didn't make any sense... but....
I think they're saying they thought they knew how it works, but were wrong.

How do you pronounce "NAACP"?

Personally, I read it in my head as /hipɑːː/， with the artificially lengthened vowel that you note. But if you wanted to wear that down into a form that was easier to say, /hipɑ/ is still very distinct from /hɪpə/, and /haɪpɑ/ would be too.

The upper bound is interesting but my limited intuition is it's a very upper bound. LTO/LTCG will drive that down a lot. Last time I was looking at Rust binary sizes things like building the stdlib with heavy LTO/opt size had some pretty big influences on final binary size.

> E2EE wielded at scale by folks, a large subset of whom are engaging in criminal behavior

You cannot really engage in criminal behavior exclusively via E2EE communication. Victim would use the communication as evidence. All the crimes you are talking about have an essential component outside E2EE communication, which means that detection and evidence gathering is possible without breaking E2EE.
I knew this was right, but until now I didn't realize HOW right.

I think what's hard to deduce with advertising, especially for small projects or people who don't have much experience is the activation energy needed to see any results from what seem like relatively large ad spends.

To be clear, I suck at this. I've attempted to buy instagram / facebook ads and had little luck. For FaceBook ads you basically have to spend around $6k before the algorithm even starts to care about what you're doing. This is essentially because it has to first serve enough ads to figure out if people are actually clicking before actually targeting the demographic you set.

That said, as much as I hate it, I have no clue how to do social media marketing (TikTok or otherwise) and it's astonishing how much energy and time this takes. I used to joke that it'd be a better use of my time to find a college girl who likes TikTok and has a stimulant prescription to run social media for my bad side-project. (this is a joke)

However, targeted ads definitely work. I still get ads on instagram for the rapid-test clinic that just opened up across the street from my apartment. I can literally see the clinic from my window.
It is entirely possible that large corporations measure the effectiveness of their advertising by comparing it to sales, and are confusing correlation with causation on a massive scale. They spend more on advertising, and point to sales in the same time frame, as a cause, even if reality disagrees.

There are zero incentives for anyone to figure this out and fix it within corporate structures. I'd be thankful it makes advertising easy to spot, and less effective in real life. ;-)

Imagine if you're in the middle management of Google and you realize that target ads don't work, and the results to this point are just luck. You'd want to do something like "Improve your advertising spend" by making the ads "more efficient", and selling targeted ads to people that you know have already purchased, but the advertiser doesn't.

Eventually you could advertise that your ads are measured to be more than 80% correlated with a rise in sales. (Leaving out the reversed causality).

If this IS the case... shhhhhh... don't tell anyone. It would crash Google's stock price. Nah, who am I kidding, the market stays irrational for decades. ;-)

Never attribute to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence.
Yeah but it always looks different if that power is going to be in your hands. Or maybe it doesn't and they just don't care, but I'd like to think it's the former.
It appeals to a certain demographic that television doesn't. Whataboutism at its worst.
HTML specs say you can do what you’re saying. The tools and most publishers haven’t focused on implementing annotations and edits well.
the reason why the Hilton clip is so strange is because it makes explicit that we're basically in a world where exchange value is entirely divorced from use value. They're not actually comparing their monkey pictures.

Imagine you walk into a room and two people have a conversation and they're comparing their newly generated ssh keys they've bought for millions and printed out on a piece of paper and they're laughing and having a good time and act normally. You'd think you have walked into a horror movie where your neighbors have been replaced by aliens, or an episode of the twilight zone

You seem to understand the mission. "Clueless" is a valid adjective to use but any form of "entitled" is a hateful term that rolls off the tongue easily and ends dialog almost as quickly when it is heard. Also ‘rape’ has nothing to do with it and it’s a harmful selfish meme that some people can’t mention ‘males’ without bringing up ‘rape’.

Getting through the "clueless" problem seems nearly intractable. If you could tell people "make this small change and it will make a small improvement in your situation" there would be a clear answer, but you can't.

There's a persistent myth of "male privilege" that applies to the top 1% percent of men but not the majority of men. That's a major theoretical error that's obvious in 1st wave feminist books such as The Second Sex, The Feminine Mystique and it goes uncorrected to this day.

For someone who was bullied in elementary school, sexual invisibility in high school and college was a retraumatization that still affects me more than 30 years later. Back then I felt completely isolated, it wasn't a pain that others my age would admit to, and adults had bad advice like "be yourself" or "it will get better in the sweet by-and-by." Today young men are finding solidarity in dangerous social movements and various forms of "men are beasts" will just isolate them further.
I'd argue that Python type hints are actually a step back. Sure, they may work 80% of the time, but there are times where you need the extra flexibility offered by DRF serializers. Those can go way farther than the basic "map these JSON data types to this Python representation" which would then be difficult to represent using basic Pydantic-style hints (you'd have to the rest in procedural Python within your endpoint, which can't easily be reused when it comes to function-based views, where as DRF abstracts that away within the serializer which not only can be reused, but itself can be composed of multiple classes/mixins).
the sugar turns to something else and it tastes like crap.

I'm disappointed that Bitcoin, crypto, currency or NFT isn't in there. Those are parts of my custom spam filter in addition to whatever Office 365 has by default as they don't always catch all spam and I have no legitimate reason to receive such content.

If I ever will experience a file loss on iCloud I think I won’t even ever know the way it’s designed and the way it’s documented and the way way Apple deals with it even after reporting an issue.

Unless you deploy another tool or service to keep checking whether everything has been a file loss or inconsistency inside iCloud. Yes, it’s that opaque!

On the contrary on Dropbox I know exactly what is going on and there are features to revert a change.
How silly is it to have a confederate flag at a Canadian protest, anyway, if not simply for shaping optics in the citizenry of the United States to tell them how to frame current events??

Screams of an orchestrated heuristic.

If you’re aware of such a fringe factoid as flags appearing in the crowd but simultaneously unaware of the footage demonstrating these to be literally false flags you may want to diversify your information sources.
I'm reminded of when I was told for years that eliminating net neutrality would destroy the Internet as we know it. Then it was eliminated and the Internet is exactly the same as it was before. Point being, I am extremely skeptical that this bill is an existential threat to free society and democracy.

Anyway, the text of the bill clearly states that offering encryption services cannot serve as a basis for liability under the new CSAM carveout. I haven't seen critics of the bill explain why that language isn't good enough to protect E2EE services from liability. Most critics just pretend that part of the bill doesn't exist.

"- Your engineer said to me "we took down 600 old accounts and are reviewing our contact policies going forward" and "there are still plenty of other customers who are listed generically as bouncing so we will have work to do here"."

(snip)

"That tells me that you knew that you were sending to old accounts and that your bounce handling was either not great or non-existent."

Yes, that is exactly right.

I have instructed everyone to be as liberal and forgiving of non-payment and failed contact as possible. These people, who were paying customers, have data stored here for safekeeping and we're not going to trash it because we haven't heard from them in 3 months or their email bounced.

I can give you hours of stories of customers who came back from military deployment, came back from depression, came back from prison, came back from financial ruin ... that contacted us, beyond all hope, to see if we still had their account. And we did.

After 21 years of doing this are there a few hundred accounts that we are giving extreme benefit of the doubt to ? There certainly are.

Bottom line: our duty of safeguarding customer data trumps this weeks fashionable spam heuristics.
Lately I've just been using Microsoft Edge for viewing and filling out PDFs. It has the handy ability to draw on and sign documents. That's about all I used Edge for.
I have as well. I usually get pretty good ad recommendations on Instagram surprisingly enough.
Or maybe I won't and go for the competitor... it often works this way. So many times I see something expensive being advertised and I go for a cheaper one I never heard of. So again, I might be a rare case, but ...
I'm not saying that I never bought snacks that are also advertised, because everything is advertised. But I come from a "hard discount" family, and I'm a very hard target, I don't even like being given presents for Christmas.
I'm just saying that if everyone was "castrating" like me, we would see much less spending on advertising.
Seriously, I was expecting it to say sometime in the next few hundred thousand years. 3 years is holy crap! This is lucky!
My uneducated opinion: those ads may appear stupid and are useless 95% of the time, but 95% is more profitable than whatever else they would've shown you (as in they're still right 5% of the time), so failing a better option, the practice continues.
> How do you pronounce "NAACP"?

I don't. But people aren't going to say out the letters for something that could be easily pronounced.
Here's an idea:

Send a multipart email. Include the spam keywords in the text/plain part, and your ordinary message in the text/html part. Almost all email clients these days will ignore the text/plain part, so they'll only see the text/html and there won't be any suspicious 1pt white text. As long as they don't view the raw message, you should be in the clear.

Or even better, use base64 transfer encoding for the spam keywords. Spam filters HATE base64.

We bombed Nazi Germany during World War II, and then occupied much of it for a while afterwards. Did we do that "so our hegemony can be asserted all over the place"?
