I am skeptical that showing the sender address would prevent scams like this, because I suspect that relatively few people who would get tricked by this scam are likely to figure it out based on noticing the full sender address.

I agree that more information is generally better, except that people often learn to ignore extraneous information in UIs, and in most cases the full address of the sender is not important.

And what makes these scams successful may not be lack of information in the UI, but something else. For example, users not recognizing the significance of the sender's address, or not paying attention to it at all. People have never been good at recognizing email scams, which is why detecting them before they get into the user's inbox is the best solution I know of.

The author may be right, but I would not take it for granted, and would want to see some research done to support this.
No need for giant parking lots at trains stations, just rethink the whole thing so that for traveling bigger distances the driver climbs on the train without leaving the car, not unlike what we already do with ferries.
This is a great rule to follow, and for precisely the right reasons. Staying in bed trying to force yourself to sleep is generally counterproductive, because (1) over the long-run, that creates a negative association in your mind between your bed and being a place of wakefulness, and (2) trying but failing to fall asleep might make you anxious/stressed about not being able to fall asleep, which could put you into a negative feedback cycle that makes it even harder for fall asleep.

The whole issue was that they cheated to hide the differences to avoid additional training. Which proved fatal as the pilots were unaware of those differences.
Perhaps underneath the 420 jokes lies the reality that he's high fairly often.

What about Starliner? It is years behind schedule and a huge embarrassment to the US' play in space.
I can assure you that's entirely plausible. There are many big vendors like this, with a rather smaller set of vendors that sell switch chips for them. High end network switches are effectively a commodity now, and often are not much more than a board built around a single chip/chipset, which does everything.

As for software, there are many vendors and open source projects that make complete distributions for these generic switches/chipsets.

One way to get an idea of the sheer number of devices in play here is to look at the hardware supported by ONIE, a small Linux distribution that is a de facto standard bootloader for these. Can't find a proper HCL for ONIE, but have a look at the source: https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie/tree/master/machi...
The number of models is staggering.

So what your friend does is clever as a business, but not necessarily even high tech or technically hard, nor does it need special connections. It's just a huge market, there for anyone to build a reseller business around.
Zoning needs to change as well. Exclusionary zoning has resulted in very weird town layouts in the US. Make small errands (coffee, dining, convenience items) reachable by walking and the rest reachable by transit.
This is an impressive feat of analytical chemistry. Note the extremely low radioactivity of plutonium contained in their samples, which peaked at just over 7 millibecquerels per gram:

Total 239Pu + 240Pu activities in BMC19 core reach their maximum of 7.14 mBq/g at 48.5 cm bsf and then sharply drop to ca. 2.09 mBq/g.

For comparison, a single banana contains approximately 2000 times more radioactivity just from its naturally occurring potassium content:

It's kind of funny that Telus, which at it's core is a merger of British Columbia Telephone Company and Alberta Government Telephones (tough to get more entrenched and bureaucratic than that) is actually a pretty innovative and diversified company... outside of their core telecom business where they're just as bad as the others.

Having kids is easy for a man. For a woman, it is anything but.

And women’s freedom to choose when and how many and who to have children with is what has caused birthrates to decline.

From what I can tell, women have been eating the true costs of birthing and raising children since forever. Now they can choose the terms under which they are willing to subject themselves to the risks and effects of childbirth, breastfeeding, and child rearing, so the “free” market should help see what the appropriate price will be.

Why can't efficient self driving cars also be public transportation?

What if we had a publicly funded self driving car network?

No more drunk drivers mowing down children, no more gigantic parking lots everywhere (like uber, you wouldn't likely get in the same car that took you there).

It would also almost certainly reduce traffic fatalities to near zero.

In my opinion the main benefit is the most overlooked - NOT spending X hours of your own mental bandwidth and focus worrying about crashing a deadly vehicle. You could spend that time reading/learning, relaxing watching a movie, or any number of activities other than driving your metal coffin around.

Obviously there are a lot of hurdles to get there, but let's not throw the baby out with the bath water.

Boeing sucks. They're only selling planes because AirBus can't build enough for all customers.

It's disappointing that mess after mess they're not held accountable. I suppose on the one hand, the U.S. wants a competitor to AB. But, AB does need a competitor, right? It's not like it's a good thing if Boeing goes away and AB has no competition.
Linux Desktop doesn't really suck anymore. Enough time passed that the experience of the high-level (ie. desktop) part of any distro is good enough*.

Worst part of Linux is the death by a thousand paper cuts. Bluetooth may work or not work. Apps may be compatible or not with Wayland. Power consumption may not be efficient. Computer may not resume from sleep. The browser may burn CPU when playing videos. Etc.etc.

Lots of stuff like this can happen, and I guess, anyone will experience one or two. I've been using Linux for a long time, and there is always something.

Everything can be fixed with patience (and experience, that one may not have), but Linux is definitely an O/S that needs some work, once one goes past a casual use. Casual users may not notice.

Here's how I apply DRY.

As I build a thing, I just sling duplicate code like I'm getting paid by the line. Once I've created all or most instances of the duplicate code, and they're working, only then do I circle back refactor it to extract common concepts and abstractions.

I've learned over the years that I don't really understand what I'm building until it's built. I need to step back and look at the patterns that have formed to spot the difference between firm concepts and trivial duplication.

Doing this well takes experience. It involves predicting how your code is likely to change. One lesson from experience is to favor repetition over bad abstractions. I formed this opinion from living through the pain both types of anti-patterns. Duplication causes the need to find, change and test all instances. That sucks. It leave you open to bugs. But bad abstractions can require ripping the whole thing apart.

> The definition of pi is what determines the digits of pi, FULL STOP. There's no room whatsoever, for any sort of agent to 'leave a message' in those digits.

All the agent needs to do is design or adjust the life forms it wants to find the message so that they are inclined to choose a numeric base in which the right sequence appears in the digits of π. The definition of π defines it's value, but the sequence of digits doesn't just depend on the value, but also the choice of base.

I'm thinking about creating a todo app that organizes content automatically by category using machine learning.

It wouldn't be very good for a very long time, but organizing tasks has always felt like a chore and an inaccurate one at that.
Show HN: Triple Payments – Request crypto from anyone by sharing a link
Hi HN, Kevin and Ben here. Triple Payments is the easiest way to invoice someone and get paid in crypto. Just specify an amount and currency to pay out in, and share the link that we generate.

We built Triple Payments to solve one of the most annoying problems we faced as web3 developers – requesting crypto without going back-and-forth on tokens and wallet addresses. When sending large sums of USDC or ETH, we were never 100% sure that our money was going to the right wallets.

Under the hood, we let payers send ETH or stablecoins like USDC directly by calling standard transfer methods that work with their web3 wallets. If payers don’t have any of the requested currency, we give them the option to pay with a different token, using the 0x [1] platform and our custom contract to swap tokens behind the scenes.

We’d love it if you could try creating a payment request, and look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions!

We're talking about non-residents/citizens, I'm not sure I buy your argument because of that, it doesn't seem to make sense to want to uphold the intellectual authority of the state against non-residents. Also restrictions have endured both Republican and Democrats, so it also doesn't seem ideological.

Hospitals in the US I believe will always treat you, but then send you a bill, they don't refuse emergency care.

You cannot become a US resident without showing good health because they don't want you to freeload, and you also are forced to take all vaccines and prove immunity.

Also, Covid is still killing people, it's definitely not like the cold, it's the third leading cause of death in the US now. I'm not saying this restriction helps in any way, but seems misguided to compare it to the common cold, at the very least it's closer to the influenza flu.
let's not forget that aside from content signal-to-noise ratio of the links, HN comments provide nearly half of the value because one can see the "other" side of the "story", sort of like visceral critical thinking...

But this is only because everywhere, everything is securities fraud

It also does not make sense to do this kind of fraud, as Tesla stock will surely tank on the news of it being used as a collateral in an acquisition deal.
I think we might need to rethink what a recession is.

AFAIK, we have been in a recession since 2008. IMO we never really got out of it.

I got scammed around $3000 because stripe sent me an email saying “payment received”, but it was actually processing, and it was eventually declined.

So I gave away the goods thinking everything was good to go.

When it bounced, I rang up and complained and they did nothing, just shrugged it off.

Story ends like this though: caught the thief with the Stripe IP audit log, police raided his house, found hundreds of other items but I never managed to recoup the loss, because mine was gone. I still think that it was Stripes fault because the UX on the email (even the green banner) made it seem like everything was good to go.

(I routinely tell everyone to avoid Stripe now and go with PayPal, someone from Stripe feel free to reach out and change my mind ..)
We try to get a great couple of hours outside with the kids in the morning, right after breakfast. It started as a way to avoid crowds during covid, but we’ve kept it up and really enjoyed it.

From what I understand, the sticking point is the total bot count,
and since ElMu can't produce a trustworthy/reliable bot count which differs from Twitter's (meaning, he can't defend his claims),
he appears to be switching to attack, trying to get data on how Twitter produces their counts, even though he can't convincingly articulate any issues with either it or the result.

The poster was positing that Elon lied about his intent to buy Twitter in order to manipulate Tesla investors, which is securities fraud. A public company executive is required to be transparent and honest about actions they take which might impact the company's stock price, especially if they're on the other side of a trade. Basically everyone who bought his $40b in stock or accepted it as pledged collateral could claim damages.

> 2. Rogers/Shaw/Bell/Telus immediately offer better terms for the residents of that building.

I was about to write a whole comment about how I've never seen this myself and to disagree with you I was going to compare the price of Bell Fibre in my building to Beanfield. The latter of which I have at $50/mo at 1Gbps.

But then I loaded up Bell's availability page and entered my address... it was almost like a sick joke. The spinner was saying "Checking availability" or something like that. However, I could see the page with prices behind it darkened out while it was running. It was $115/mo for 2 years and $125/mo after that for 1Gbps fibre. But when the spinner was done and they "checked my availability"... well what do ya know! It's now magically $50/mo. Pretty disgusting that they can get away with that.
Also, Goods are purchased using stolen credit cards and get shipped to hotels. Later, they schedule FedEx to pickup items from the hotel, which get shipped to Miami.

It happened few times at my hotel. One time we told the FedEx that the package is not here and ask thme to leave the prepaid label. I googled the address, and found few snippets, reviews & complained about unauthorized purchases and shipments to that address.
Thanks, you too!
