I suspect this is more of a stripe problem than a Shopify one. Having dealt with them shutting down our customer accounts on several occasions with no information as to why and ambiguous documentation requests that seem to go on forever, it seems perfectly plausible to me that this was just as frustrating for Shopify as it was the customer. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t have handled it better, but I’ve definitely experienced the other side of this story and it’s awful.
The FDA already banned human antibiotic use in farm animals except to actually treat infections.

Another important point not mentioned yet: Rebrands are rarely done internally.

Companies hire external brand design agencies, and they tend to hire a few of the same well-known ones, which also set the trends for the rest of the industry.

The second picture at https://www.ramforum.com/threads/what-is-this.187308/post-26... is rather concerning to me. Does this thing being installed irreversibly damage the car in some way, such that it will never be drivable again if you fully remove it, so if you don't want it anymore, you need to keep it forever anyway, just with their "de-activation module" inserted?
My car is manual, and I always leave it in gear when parked in case the parking brake fails.
The cost of replacing everywhere that uses the logo, and making sure the new logo works well in all those locations is generally orders of magnitude more than coming up with the new logo. Especially if, as is often the case, they want everything to switch over to the new logo at the same time.
Not overly optimistic on a soft landing either, but I also don't want to become a doomsdayer. My real concern is that this economic unrest is happening in parallel with political unrest, and that just means the fan that the shit will eventually hit has a little more RPMs on it.

I live in an Asian country where antibiotics are massively overused. Go to the local pharmacy and tell them you have cold symptoms and you're likely to get 3 different full spectrum antibiotics.

I've asked a few pharmacists about this and the usually say they know it is bad but it is what people expect -- the more pills they get, the more effective they think the treatment will be. If you don't hand out as many pills as the pharmacy down the road then you'll lose customers and go out of business. So it is a race to the bottom tragedy of the commons kind of market failure that can only really be fixed with effective government regulation. Which isn't easy in a developing country, to say the least.
For Carl Sagan to have learned the internal code name of a computer, it seems likely that the code name was leaked to the outside of Apple. According to the article, this happened in a 1993 issue of MacWeek.

The problem is bundling and integration. The customer is best served by dumb-pipe vendors. Imagine if your devices conducted a reverse auction periodically, and could switch providers without significant cost.

My phone service is Rogers and my internet is Cogeco, so this outage isn't a huge problem for me. If it were the other way around, I could route through my phone, but it would be a serious impairment. If that happened a lot, I could buy a dedicated adapter but it would cost another "line" of service. Which is a monthly fee, regardless of use. It's not practical for most people to pay redundant contracts - but there's no technical reason for contracts. And it's not even a matter of fixed costs or physical interfaces - the cost of an alternate modem isn't a big problem.

Breaking the contract norm would benefit uses in other conditions, too. For instance, roaming. Heck, if I could negotiate service minute-by-minute, I might routinely spread some traffic - based on latency, routing, even bandwidth bursting. Heck, even privacy.

Since you specifically mention one cure through removal, my data point on Crohns and surgery: Took years for me to finally get a clue about surgery for Crohns in a case as unremittant as mine. My guess at the time was that MDs consider referral to surgery as "medical failure" -- I've seen that term in the literature -- so do not volunteer the option.

Anecdata: Root canal, antibiotics, and first Crohns indications in the span of 10 days for me.
Canadian ISPs definitely have a stronghold on the infrastructure. Can't call it a "monopoly" because there are three of them, but a common name given is "Robelus" which is portmanteau of Rogers/Bell/Telus.

I don't have the numbers on how much they spend to lobby the government every year, but I imagine its a staggering sum.
A remote start should have a slider switch and a lock for it, so you can't "push the button" by sitting on it.
The Interstate’s Forgotten Code
It's not a random process but it's not documented that well by Apple. All of the devices logged into your Apple ID do a quick handshake amongst each other via Bluetooth to determine who's going to respond to "Hey Siri". Generally it's the closest (since distance is something BT 5.0 can calculate) but there are some rules to determine who's going to answer.

There is some priority for example a device recently raised responds first - this is often your iPhone. The Mac is low on the priority - HomePods are usually highest. Amongst HomePods it's usually the one that hears the command first or at the loudest volume. You can remove your iPhone from the pool by placing it face down.

Devices can't be selective based on the audio because they're not analyzing the commands until they're actually activated. The always running Secure Enclave waits to match the voice pattern "Hey Siri" without the device knowing anything at that point. That's why Apple can say the devices are not listening or recording - they don't wake up and start listening until the Secure Enclave tells them to wake up. I believe however the devices keep a short amount of audio so that they can roll it back after they actually are activated.

I do agree with you in principle however that Apple should figure out some way for users to prioritize various devices. You can of course turn off "Hey Siri" responsiveness but there should be a bit more to it.
The decades-old solution for that is to not mix the business and IO code in the first place. If you do, that's entirely on you. This works exactly the same and has the same goals as in popular OOP architectural patterns like Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture or Onion Architecture.

With the difference that with a better type system it becomes significantly harder to do this kinda thing to begin with, and that's a GREAT thing. Your business code is extremely simple, reusable, isn't intertwined with IO stuff and is 100% testable with minimal effort, without needing mocks or anything of the sort.

If you don't care about this kind of correctness, then fine, but don't pretend this is something that's not sought after by both OOP and FP practitioners.
Tons of sellers know it for sure. It was a common tactic to email jeff@ with any seller problems with a hope of getting them addressed quickly.

It's not clear what you mean by "learned" here. You have plants. Other plants grow next to them and they die. It's observed learning (as I showed in the photos), similar to learning fire is hot. You have been implying it's more than that and are flat wrong on this simple understanding of reality. There's nobody that can help you with that.
I don't see why you're assuming we did something different, I even said "advanced typing features". We have several effect-related types, including IO.
Canada is a country of oligopolies - everywhere from the products you can buy to the Federal Liberal Party's Trudeau Foundation being the receiving end for paid political favours.

It is hard to think of areas where there is actual competition in Canada, because there are so few.

Media? None, the Federal Liberals fund the approved media and leave the unapproved to fend for itself or die. The approved media is then highly encouraged (unofficially) to tow the Party line and back up anything Trudeau says - especially when it's a fabrication.

Banks? Highly controlled via charters, although actual regulation would make a 1970s Cayman's banker blush.

Food? There is a literal milk cartel. There are three major grocers - all highly vertically integrated. One was just on the news a few years ago for price-fixing bread, and also received untold millions for a refrigeration overhaul from the Federal Government.

Telecom? See the outage.

Law enforcement? The RCMP (Canadian CIA) was recently caught editorializing a report to suit a gun bill Trudeau's Liberals had been waiting for a reason to pass. The Federal Government was also crucial in telling the RCMP what to report and when. In any first world country this would be scandalous and met with a wave of resignations. In Canada, it's a Trudeau Tuesday.
That misses the point of the illegitimacy. Is that the only word you'd use to describe the Taliban after they usurped control of Afghanistan?
Reminds me of several natural sounds that are pleasing to many people: sitting next to a waterfall, wind blowing through tree leaves/needles, a slow steady rain ... sources of 'rich' noises (of various shades).
Nope, it's de rigeur for every ecommerce company. Shopify legal gets some BS email from some big corp, and they slap some vague technological solution on it ("flag anything thay says Star Wars"). Then they get a bunch of overworked, underpaid people to try and enforce their nonsense policy based on the results of the tool. Ultimately they get what they want, because they frustrate these problematic small customers into leaving the platform. Meanwhile they continue to bend over backwards for Jeffree Star or whoever because he'll have a hissy fit on Youtube if his flash sale doesn't happen at the right time.

AFAIK there are IOT/esim vendors that provide this sort of service. They give you a sim card that can "roam" between whatever providers you want around the world, and you only pay per MB of data transferred. The only downside is that such services carry a huge markup compared to plans from the providers themselves.
Awesome concept but unfortunately the worst input field I've ever seen! It's a nightmare on mobile. Will have to try on desktop later.
I’ll double check when they’re online, but I’m pretty sure BitPing can do stuff like this.

99% of the neck beards that want to ban books in libraries don't have the slightest idea how a library runs, about library boards and how they're related to their local governments.

So when they see a book that offends their easily offended sensibility they're gonna go right to the people they see standing around in the building.

I understand how flagging happens. It was flagged (and probably dead too) for a little while, and I still could edit it then. Now it's neither flagged nor dead, and I cannot edit it.
If you were in an area also served by Rogers coaxial plant, the Bell/Telus wireless network bogged down in many areas as it couldn't handle the traffic of those that had simultaneous Rogers mobile and Rogers DOCSIS outages.

Also experienced some jittery/failed calls to USA on Bell/Telus around noon-time EST once the west woke up.

In many countries, the mobile networks can handle heavy bandwidth because they compete against wireline providers for data and have virtually unlimited plans. Not so in Canada.
Intent and self-awareness do come from experience.

The goals we want to achieve are tied to what has been going on throughout our lives thus far. We don't invent our own values out of a vacuum, we tend to adopt them from other people, and rank them depending on how our nervous system works.

Self-awareness is the ability to reason about the process of reasoning, plus, in your example, a recollection of past examples of incorrect reasoning that disrupted the process of achieving our goals.

So basically current models need a memory and the ability to change their own weights in response to new data to even start approximating humans, but that looks like a doable task, in principle.
All of the profit in telecom is selling more service than can be provided at once. People paying for service they never use is their entire business.
> I’m a little confounded that you suggest Elon believes shorting to be “morally wrong”. Why conflate his ego and financial stake with “morality”?

Because in the over ten years I have of watching what he says and what he does I've found him to be a forthright person who says what he thinks. He's not the type to intentionally deceive others. He's often wrong, but he's upfront with what he thinks. Also he's shown many times to not be interested in financial merits. He wants to achieve great things and be known for doing great things. He only cares about money in the sense that it lets him achieve the goals he wants to achieve.

> Plus, Elon has proven himself to be morally nefarious more than anything. With the law and social expectations and plenty more.

I've not seen that myself. I've seen him let his emotions get out of control many a time that he often regrets, but I've not seen him act in an explicitly nefarious way.

> The only thing I can find about Elon and his utterance of morality is him saying it was morally wrong to ban Donald Trump. What a joke.

He didn't say that it was morally wrong to ban Donald Trump. That was an oft-repeated synthesized quote that was also taken out of context. He doesn't particularly like Donald Trump at all.
That’s terrible. Better to go into a black hole than to expose shitty CRM gone wrong.
The law on this is clear, and the remedies are also clear. Musk playing the contemptuous clown prince aside, the court isn’t going to be ‘intimidated’, and Musk can’t simply evade/ignore judgments/orders. What a weirdly amateurish article.
A good auditor will do exactly that: audit the evidence to certify compliance with the documented controls. It is not their job to specify controls, unless the controls are specifically called out in the standard against which they are auditing. They can flag controls that do not meet the standard, but they cannot specify what those controls must be.

However, a good auditor should also make recommendations on how to improve controls without holding the threat of a qualified report over your head if you don't comply.

So while I agree that they do not have to be a domain expert to do the bare minimum, such audits that they can provide are not especially useful in the long run. I want the value add of recommendations from a domain expert. This, however, is not that common.

Worse are the guys that think they have a badge. Their position has gone to their heads, and they are a nightmare to work with. I hate having to school these guys that it is not their job to demand specific controls (in the case of SOC2 for example), but to compare the controls in place to the standard, and verify that they are indeed in place. Unfortunately, all these guys work for accounting firms, and their bosses are generally clueless, so the "cyber guy" runs rampant. Some auditors need an audit.

> who will spend the premium for a rack server that is easier to maintain?

Not my area, but based on other areas: "easier to maintain" can translate directly to "fewer engineer/admin hours consumed", which can translate directly to saved money (or resources that are now freed up to be put toward something more useful)
Oh wow, that made me feel old. I actually read that article just before making the switch from the Radio Shack TRS-80 ecosystem to Commodore. See the Tussey ad for a 64C with an FSD-2 floppy? I bought that package from them with a repackaged c.Itoh thermal printer. It actually had the mail-in redemption offer the Commodore guy referred to in the article.

It felt like I had that C64 forever. I learned CBM BASIC, 6502 assembler, and even K
> it seems to be on of HN's favorite biology topics

Yeah, it seems HN knows more about phages than physicians, which is pretty bloody damning. Why TF don't physicians know about this?

"First, Strathdee found an obscure treatment that offered a glimmer of hope -- fighting superbugs with phages, viruses created by nature to eat bacteria."

According to TFA, Strathdee is also an infectious disease epidemiologist, and she didn't find out about phages until her husband had almost karked it, after several months of fighting an antibiotic-resistant infection.

There was a similar story on HN three years ago about a teenager in the UK with cystic fibrosis and an antibiotic-resistant infection after a lung transplant. The physicians treating her didn't know about phages, and her mother had to suggest it.
[https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19863445]

So that's at least two cases of people dying slowly from antibiotic-resistant infection until someone suggested phages, which were then successfully used to save their lives. Are the treating physicians incompetent?
Not in any technical sense, but the latest official statement is "We now believe we've narrowed the cause to a network system failure following a maintenance update in our core network, which caused some of our routers to malfunction early Friday morning."

I'm wondering if this is a software update gone awry.
That's good. I remember reading years ago how they weren't going to remove it. Glad they left it up the server admins to make the call for their communities.
The article also says to do it too:

Methinks symptomatic of the “bullshit jobs” scenario. Another poster pointed out about need for low risk legacy, another points out change for something to do. All valid and clatter with what I have observed in my life. Also I have seen brand logo changes as part of a subtle message that company has changed in some way, usually trying to change away from some negative press, and the logo is a cynical attempt to show a new direction yada yada.

For my 2c corporate logos have gone from art to BS as in Boring Shit, over last 20 years.
As someone on the receiving end of dozens of these audits per year, it’s extremely obvious that both sides are just checking off their boxes and don’t have any actual understanding of anything. One side has to perform that audit, and the other side has to comply with it. Everything is outsourced to the lowest level people possible. It’s essentially a zombie industry where both sides just mindlessly generate documentation so the business people can check their own boxes before closing a deal.
Talent Matters Even More Than People Think
"Unlike CF, AWS does not support TLS1.3. This is not working while HN uses the AWS IP."

The context of the above statement was the HN site, not every site that uses AWS.

Specifically, I mean that if HN uses CF, then TLS1.3 will be supported. (Before the outage I accessd HN through CF so I could use TLS1.3, because the M5 hosted site did not support it.) Whereas if HN uses AWS, then TLS1.3 may or may not be supported. As it happens, there is no support.^1

Not being more clear is on me and I apologise that the statement was misinterpreted. Nevertheless, the fact that there are other sites accessed through AWS that support TLS1.3 does not help the HN user here who wants to use TLS1.3, namely, me. That is the context of the comment: accessing HN using TLS1.3. It is not a review of AWS. It is a statement about accessing HN with TLS1.3.

We're ranting around about states doing explicitly illegal things for no reason. These things will never be done. They'd be thrown out by the courts the instant they were attempted.
This is exactly the solution. I've long proposed civilian review boards assembled like juries - random citizens called in to judge specific cases of police actions. Theses juries would have the ability to rule on the culpability of the officers, select penalties and their deliberations would be secret and final.

Police that know their actions would be reviewed and their chiefs and administrators would have no ability to save them would certainly reduce the amount of police illegality.
AFAIK, on iPhone, there is no way of overriding carrier provided DNS.

Do you really believe this is equivalent? You can't see any distinction here?

> Once conception (i.e., fertizilation) has occurred.

Do you know the percentage of fertilized eggs that make it to the uterine wall? That make it through the first week of pregnancy? That make it through the first trimester?

Should couples register their fertilized eggs with the government so they can be tracked?
If you take the global perspective, Europe embraced meritocracy over the same few centuries in which it colonized most of the world. It's easier to increase meritocracy if you can outsource serfdom.
That looks like "if confidence < %some number%, then try to expand the dataset using known related sources". Load a library of short book descriptions into such an AI, and it should reproduce this behavior. Though it also needs the capacity to learn. Otherwise you could put a snippet that automatically queries it for better materiel about the subject when its confidence is low, so it just tells you where it thinks you should look. That seems doable now.
