Unlimited access to a natural resource can juice development short term, but look at where that has gotten us with both fossil fuels and Moore's Law - bloated, absurdly resource hungry software, and environmental destruction. Of course, we also got new technology and increased average standard of living, but so much waste.

Probably "free energy" is necessary to achieve a utopian, post scarcity society, but with all our prior experience with gluts of resource mostly being hoarded and used for profit-seeking, my enthusiasm for the nature of any fusion revolution is more measured than wide eyed.
> 5. (This is the important step) Adjust the faucet’s flow to a low laminar flow and run the glasses through water, hitting the top of the glasses first and letting the water flow down and off the bottom of the lenses. It might take a couple passes but doing this will eliminate any water droplets on the lenses.

This final step is also how soldiers get those perfect mirror finishes on their boots and belts!

I take it that Teams doesn't support Ctrl+Shift+V to paste without formatting? If so that's plain stupid.
Daily contacts are also a great alternative if your prescription isn’t too high. I used to use monthlies, and only recently found dailies with my level of astigmatism. The difference in comfort is pretty significant for me.
Thank you. The salary link is like that, I get 5% if the service price increase 5%. Salaries here rarely make above inflation, so it was better than the previous fixed salary with periodic adjustments. This arrangement is shared by other 4 people, with inferior remuneration, rest of the company (minus the owners above my level) earns fixed salary that is periodically adjusted.
Both. I have reported fraud forms to them before.
It blows my mind how quickly people put up home cameras with zero thought to

* (1) what gets captured

* (2) who gets what gets captured

Walk down the street of any middle-class neighborhood in a major suburb: a healthy chunk have cameras. Let's say 60%.

So, you and your family are being passively surveilled on a massive scale … for the benefit of someone who's not you preventing another someone from stealing their bike.

Is this a reasonable tradeoff? Is it fair to others?
I suspect the massive money printing going on for years has had no impact because most of that money never actually landed in the hands of actual people and just existed to be sucked up by wall street and elites. And they dont spend in a way to impact prices.

But enter covid money printing actually reaching normal people (even if alot of it got soaked up too), plus the elites using the money to buy things normal people want instead of rich people nonsense (buying housing as "safe" investment during covid), plus all the money that was going towards servicing student loans getting spend in the economy, plus normal people using their power to get more wages due to worker shortages and here we are.
For what it's worth, I run Microsoft Teams in its own isolated Chrome profile with almost no extensions (definitely no adblockers). It's been sitting in the background 99% unused for the past 4 hours and is currently wildly fluctuating between 500 and 850 MB of RAM usage + 8-12% CPU usage, despite not even being the focused tab in said Chrome profile.

That being said, I wouldn't be at all surprised if a content blocker made it even worse. It's just... not very good software.
I once had a recruiter from facebook get stuck in the "spam" tab in facebook messenger back in 2014. Not the "you may know" message requests you get a notification about, but the spam you never see.

It was legit. Didn't see it until someone reached out a different way. A bit funny how their own platform failed them.
What tech stack are you using? The speed is impressive.
75 bps hikes are not frantic. Hikes should be 300 bps to be barely enough.
> Why study years and years of how computers work, to then think about people and business problems?

Because in school, you study engineering in a vacuum. In the real-world, you have financial constraints, time constraints, and business goals to meet.
I've done the lot. SPF, not blacklisted, DMARC signed and set to reject.

From what I can tell it's just that small domains are guilty until proven innocent. However it seems at lower volumes you can never send enough email to get past the thresholds they've set so you're forever guilty in their eyes. Very convenient.

I've also signed up to both Microsoft and Google's email tools and neither shows any information because I don't send enough mail while they still keep making my mail as spam. It's getting to the point where I'll probably have to use a 3rd party SMTP rely as the family don't appreciate their mail going to spam while all their friends on GMail go straight to the Inbox.

A nice new addition is Microsoft is flagging any links I include in my message as "suspicious" and giving the users scary warnings. Meanwhile I can see they still take the opportunity to scan and fetch the URL and yet still can't determine it's safe.
This is stretching my long gone education, but pi is a transcendental number, meaning it us not a root of any integer-coefficient polynomial, and these tend to not have good rational approximations
Elixir function marching feels kind of like contracts. You specify different variants of the same function for different contracts of what the inputs thrown at it are.

I found that for much of my code it really separated the “where to next” from the “what to do”. And I became acutely aware of how many of the statements in other languages are more about “where does the code go next” and less about getting stuff down.
Why is it a hack?
I think no matter what google does here they won't win - if they increase the sensitivity of spam filters, people will complain (rightly) that legitimate content is getting blocked. If they lessen the sensitivity people will complain (rightly) about too much spam.
> Had they/REST aligned on 204 No Content (for things like the employees/100 example)

Who is “they/REST”, and where have “they/REST” aligned on anything. All REST says is “use the underlying protocol without messing with its semantics, but only the parts that correspond to REST semantics”.

If the resource exists and is accurately represented by no data, then 204 fits for a gET, but that’s a different case than where there is no matching resource to the URL. 204 is mostly for modifying actions (e.g., PUT, DELETE) that don’t need to return more than the fact of success.
As someone with fairly pronouced Astigmatism in the expensive glasses camp, I'd say:

1) The glasses have to accurately hold my the lens at a specific location and orientation relative to my eyes in order that they actually work.

Off by a little bit and it's world of splitting headaches and crazy distortion

Achieving that positioning, while dealing with my wonky ears, size of head, eye locations etc - requires knowledge beyond current web systems before ordering and - unless completely bespoke fabrication of frames as well - some form of final fitting post delivery.

- The prescription is sufficiently rare that the lens are not mass produced and instead have to be custom ground and cut to fit the frames before the glasses can be assembled.
I'm not sure about the legalities, but some possible answers are:

a) Because the automated system will continue to call them until they connect a real person to the customer.

b) If the law is silent about which party can impose bureaucratic hassles on the other, then perhaps this system would satisfy some legal obligations.

I.e., if the law allows a business to argue, "The customer who wanted to cancel their subscription never stayed on the phone long enough tell that to our customer service rep!", then perhaps the law also allows a customer to argue, "I tried to cancel my subscription, but they kept hanging up on my voice menu system!"

Perhaps I misunderstand the law, but my (potential) pet peeve is that businesses get away with imposing time-consuming, costly friction on their customers in the form of paperwork, call-waiting time, etc. I think it would be just for customers to repay that in kind.
To be fair, Teams brings my Windows machine to a screeching halt as well. Macs aren't alone in the crappy Teams experience.

If you bothered to read to the end of the third sentence you'd have seen the layoffs effect the Customer and Partner Solutions and Consulting orgs. Also UWP never even had feature parity with WPF or Win32.

Critically, and something I forgot to mention, when the package system says it's from X developer, but they are actually serving some alternate content because editorially the package system has decided to override the developer's most recent version, saying it's from the developer is simply a lie, and is disgusting.

This isn't necessarily aimed at you but a bit of a rant because honestly I feel like encrypted backups for personal use are evangelized to the point that it's ridiculous. If my entire hard drive was dumped on the internet, there is nothing that would happen. That isn't to say people should use them but people should consider their threat model.
They don't need to be - this is a limitation of how the site has implemented magic links. When implemented best, clicking the magic link in your email should simply confirm the authentication, and your _original_ browser window/tab should be signed in.

That way, you can be signing in on a desktop browser, click the email link on your phone (or a different browser sandbox), and the desktop window will be signed in.

Agreed. I've found the last group that gets access to invasive surveillance data is the local police.

For a while, Google was offering reverse GPS lookups of phones to the police. ("List all phones in this bounding box at this time in the past"). If you had Google Maps installed on your phone, then you were automatically opted in to sharing the data.

(I think this may be illegal in some US jurisdictions now; though Biden is talking about specific carve outs preventing sharing of GPS traces near abortion clinics with state governments, so who knows...)

Someone broke into a remote building at 2AM. We had video of them doing it with a precise start / stop timestamp for the event, and of no one else in the area. The police said they couldn't ask Google to query the database for them.

So, we're in a situation where the data exists on everyone, but only abusive law enforcement types and creepy marketers are willing to use it.

We can't even really have an argument about the tradeoffs between privacy and security, since the data isn't available for the benefit of normal victims of normal crimes.
This is a pretty pessimistic comment. Cloud storage companies should, can, and have been held accountable for violating their users' privacy, including when they themselves are the violators.
Pricing is in line with the cloud: expensive. That's it, they made it: now Arm servers are mainstream.
Except that you've got a Federal Reserve actively ensuring that there aren't too many (or too few) dollars in circulation for the level of interest rate they want to maintain. They do it by buying and selling bonds rather than stocks, but the principle is the same. So we don't have to worry about shifts in portfolio preferences leading to an unexpected oversupply or undersupply of dollars

But more people wanting to hold AAPL instead of hold cash absolutely will reduce the amount of AAPL stock your $1k is able to buy, of course
Rimworld implemented their simulation using unity objects, if they wanted to increase scale they could rewrite it to run the simulations in custom code and thus run just as fast as dwarf fortress. Or faster if you parallelize it well. Then they could just look at the world state and render that every frame, which is super cheap since its just a bunch of 2d objects and a bit of text.

Ukraine Strike on Russian Air-Defense Unit Shows Impact of New Weapons from West
For me, on an intel mac, the issue is overheating. The CPU will throttle down to about 25% once it gets to hot and everything gets laggy/janky. Teams seems to crank stuff up enough to trigger this.

I've found that disconnecting the external monitor helps. (I'm guessing additional heat from the discrete GPU is part of the problem, but that is just a guess.) Probably wouldn't hurt to clean out the fans too.

For my non-work laptop that had performance issues while hot (for non-teams reasons), I resolved the issue by buying an M1.
this is usually the case when these posts pop up, yep.
I live across from a school; hundreds of people see my house exterior for days. I wouldn't apply a different rule to a security camera.

I understand some folks have different privacy standards than me. I'm not asking you to follow my privacy rules, as they are a bit more open about public spaces than many people enjoy.

If somebody wanted me to not point my camera at their driveway, a legal threat would be the absolute worst way to achieve it.
Because part of being big & successful if you're Google involves operating a business. If your approach to everything is "why risk it?" then you eventually just choose to shut everything down.
The fact this is even a question shows me how many engineers are just cargo culting whatever they hear someone else say. If you can't understand that a toy project has different trade offs than the NSA you really shouldn't be engineering anything, trade offs are the entire job. Nobody is going to spend the time to implement this guide instead of importing a library.
House prices are at a peak and stocks are in a trough. Try to make clear economic decisions and don't be enamored with home ownership. A house is a huge illiquid asset that you can live in. There's calculators out there to use but know that buying a house usually only makes sense if you're definitely staying for at least 10 years. And don't be swayed by headlines. Big tech is doing extremely well and isn't slowing down.
Microsoft also scans and takes down anything that looks like public-facing PII in 365.

Whenever there is a post relating to Zig, I can always rely on you to post negative comments for no real reason. I can understand not liking the language, but this is about the C/C++ compilation toolchain, which uses clang under the hood. Even if you think Zig is the worst language in the world, you can still use the toolchain without having to deal with the language at all.

I guess my fundamental question is, what does your comment add to the conversation? It seems like you're not even disagreeing with the fundamental premise; you just felt the need to diminish Zig simply because someone tried to acknowledge that it was useful for something.
Thermal power goes into the expansion of the plasma I'd figure, just like the hot gases in an internal combustion engine cylinder. Only here the work is done against a magnetic field instead of a piston.

I've never encountered this @mentions Spam, are they using it as some mechanism for verifying a Gmail account?

I received a notification from Gmail the other day that "Someone added <made-up-email-address@my domain> as their recovery email.". And my only option was to disconnect the email. By disconnecting the email, I would be confirming to the account owner that the email landed in someone's inbox. By not confirming the email, I would be allowing my domain to be associated with a Gmail account potentially used for nefarious activity.

Given Google's scorched earth approach to deactivating associated Google Accounts when it comes to things like the Play Store, I felt I needed to disconnect the account.
Is that true, or is it a hypothesis?

I'd really like to know if Google does process every single file. I'll operate as if it does, but I wish someone from inside would confirm and elaborate.

Stab in the dark but I imagine some of those campaign website domains lapsed, were picked up by domain expiry people because they probably have very good visibility (i.e. a lot of links to those pages from official/.gov sites), and had phishing or sketchy landing pages put on them.

Google then prunes these malicious pages from their search and then also flags any docs that have those links in them.

> that’s not what service-level multi-factor authentication protects against

I don't understand your point. This is exactly what multi-factor authentication protects against if you don't store your MFA codes in your password manager.
Part of the response is for users to trust the cloud less, but I wish part of the response would be to increasingly hold cloud storage companies accountable such that in the future they can't get away with this kind of abuse without severe consequences for them.
> But we still want the convenience of walking down to their neighborhood store, so we've constructed an entire economic system built on shipping things in disposable boxes around the globe and getting them to people's doorsteps within two business days.

1. Generally they don't come from across the globe to your doorstep after your order, but from a nearby fulfillment center.

2. Getting things quickly from online shopping is just as nice in cities (actually nicer, because you can get a broader variety of goods quickly) as in suburbs.

Police capture a tremendous amount of data using this theory. But citizens don't have access to that data because it's considered confidential.
You're waaaaay overthinking it. Building whole system of analyzing that at scale is very costly, and totally unnecessary.

Amazon, as any other carrier, depends on the insurance (self-insurance in this case) and statistics. Some % of package theft will happen, and it's all priced in into their business cost.
> Here's the number to pay attention to. CPI increases are accelerating.

That’s what it means to go from a 2% inflation rate to a 9% inflation rate.

The inflation rate is literally the slope of that chart. It’s a price chart, not an inflation chart.

> Also notice how that chart only goes in one direction - up and to the right. There are very brief periods in which it reverses, only to return to trend with a vengeance.

Yes, because deflation is generally considered a bad thing.
I can't ask the people who drop their kids at the school across the street not to look at my yard, so why would I complain about a camera? Because it's always on and recording?

In fact lots of people stop by my house to look at our amazing maple tree and start conversations with us.

"SHOULD" has a very specific meaning in RFCs. Contrast to "MUST".

Unless the user can fix the problem, and you want them to try, an explanation of a 5xx error adds no value. Again, I don't think 5xx is ever a valid response from an API -- it's always a server-side error (code or infrastructure) that needs fixing, often with high priority.

In many environments (e.g. medical, financial, or other secure/private), providing details on server errors is strongly discouraged. Even when the data isn't sensitive, I think you're asking for trouble by broadcasting server-side problem details to users.
Countries start wars all the time. The USA started four since I was born including one outside of the international framework which would have given it a thin veneer of legitimacy.

I dislike wars as much as anyone else. They are a waste of resources especially when they drag for no reason. But they are more or less a fact of life. What matter is understanding whose interests they serve and why they are waged so we can build the conditions of a stable peace. Ideals are not going to get you far in international politics but they certainly are an easy string to tug on for propaganda purpose.
I am not a lawyer nor do I have a JD, but the argument I've heard from friends who have recently passed the bar amounts to the idea that the inordinate amounts of memorization required to pass the bar are a poor measure of someone's ability to actually practice law.

Worse than that, if a lawyer were to attempt to give advice without consulting any outside resources and not doing any research, that could be construed as malpractice. As a result, you could argue it even encourages that kind of behavior. Yet, that is what the bar exam asks.

I've seen countless takedowns on HN of programming interviews on whiteboards as a poor way to evaluate someone's ability to write code. Same concept, different domain. Similarly to those programming interviews, it can also be seen as a "best of the worst" situation.
Distort facts, yes. Explicitly lie, less often. And the facts they are referencing, again, are the explicit tweets and statements by Musk stating things to the contrary.
