Discord does this. You can choose whatever name you want. Then your name has ‘#’ and 4 random numbers appended to it, like ‘Foo##5142’. The # and numbers are greyed out and mostly hidden so when you see peoples ids, unless your explicitly looking for it your brain only pays attention to the name part. IMO it works really well
I haven't been able to programming standing but having all zoom meetings standing has been doable.
I have this card, and never used the extension, because I don't want to use a one time use extension.

Now they have added some of the features, in app. You can generate exactly one virtual credit card in app, can lock it from future use, and can delete this card (& thus can get a new one). Can't set the spending limit, can't get more than one virtual card in app, can't limit it to one seller.

The only thing it is good for is, your actual credit card number will never be with seller.

AFAIK The fast J2K libraries are closed source and expensive so you have to worry about licensing a 3rd party component which is a PITA.

So you want things to go your way. That's not really how a republic, or even a democracy, actually works.
Roasting generates a lot of smoke, but if you have a top mounted range vent that exhausts outside, you could probably get away with doing it inside. We have a pop up range hood in an island range and ended up just roasting outside. If you use a cheap air popper, it also blows chaff all over the place, and if a bean falls out onto the floor or something they’re very hot, so you would need to keep kids/pets away.
Same as it did 10 years ago. Same as IBM's garbage in the 90s. Only difference now is the IDE is both prettier and slower, there's more testing, and there's way more interfaces.

The solution to the problem never got better, it just got prettier. Oh, and the problem just got harder.
> People, not technology, reign in governments.

Yes, and having the richest and most powerful companies, all their employees, and all their shareholders on the opposite team with the systems required for opression and surveillance already built is a non starter.

Your social solutions must be stable. And a solution with a giant centralised surveillance and social manipulation machine just waiting for someone even eviller to take control isn't a viable one.

Technical solutions aren't stable with the wrong social and political conditions, but social and political solutions are not stable with the wrong material conditions.

If I take you at your word, then we both want the same thing: a legal and social environment where google cannot exist and a technical and material environment where the type of tracking and censorship they do is impossible to implement unilaterally. But one of the major barriers to getting there is the existence of google so we have to fight on both fronts.

It can be, if it helps them to have discussions at a level of detail or clarity that would not be possible for them in English. Of course it's important that they don't make decisions in this vacuum and that where necessary translation is done for the others.

I've worked in many multilingual teams and I doubt that enforcing 100% a single language to the point that you forbid even brief clarifying "aside" discussions in another language would improve overall results.
Discord does this and it's really annoying. Especially if your usual handle is actually sufficiently unique that you've never had a name collision on any site, ever. It's almost as annoying as trying to remember anyone's ICQ number.

"Easy" solution: all account names must be at least ten characters long, single dictionary words and common first names are illegal. Make everyone spend some time picking a Good Handle.
There's a big difference between personal social media like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc and topical discussion sites like HN.

I'm sure GP meant the former.
The chance of losing your account is so low that the overall expected value is still not worth it for most people.

It looks to be using Cloudflare, Cloudflare Pages free tier is very good, I suspect its using it with workers, and maybe getting very small bills or its under the free limit.
1984 is a particularly shallow book. It borders on being so simplistic as to cater to a teen equivalent crowd intellectually. It'd be deep for a 12 year old reading it for the first time, maybe. It's a cartoonish dystopia, laughably absurd in structure; although it gets his points across, which is obviously important. Orwell paints the kind of fantasy dystopia one might envision if one knew absolutely nothing about totalitarianism firsthand. Its popularity over the decades owes primarily to being shallow, simplistic. People that otherwise can't or won't approach complex ideas can read 1984 and get it. It's also not very original, even Ayn Rand took a shot at the premise a decade before Orwell with her book Anthem (1984 is a better book however).

And Tree Tabs felt like a better Tree Style Tabs (but there were no bugfixes in past 4 years).

Though very rarely Sideberry looses/forgets the tree structure of tabs, and I have to restore it from one of the recent snapshots (which it creates every day automatically).

Apparently coffee enthusiasts hate me for this - I enjoy using a little single serving percolator on the stovetop. It's the kind that only sends the water through the grounds once, from the bottom up through the grounds then into the top. If you leave it on too long it'll "burn" but if you pour it out as soon as it's done it's fine.

I tried a recirculating one a while ago and I actually liked it a lot, I just broke it and haven't replaced it. It didn't seem to make a "burned" taste either.

Maybe the finer points of coffee are beyond the granularity of my relevant tastebuds or something, because from what coffee people say I'm allegedly drinking toxic sludge.
To appreciate Benny Hill, you have to recognize both time and space. It's not 1965 anymore.
Not sure if you'll find many Brits under the age of 60 trying to defend Benny Hill or make a case for his comedy. I'm in my 40s and I don't remember a time when he wasn't seen as naff, and from some distant time before comedy got clever...
Why does Deep Learning work? – calculated – content
Good points except I’m not sure about lower wages not decreasing stress. Not in and of themselves. But typically I’ve been happier and lower paid jobs. I’m a highly responsible person, so project work stresses me more than it probably should. I preferred to do a job and just come home like most human beings do. Unless I am the boss collecting all the money, I don’t really see the advantage to project work with long projected schedules and all of the stress that comes with that if you’re a relatively low paid software developer.

The best situation is to get a government job that’s well paid, what usually with a pension, good benefits and healthcare. Even if that is picking up trash. It’s pretty tough to beat. It may not be completely fulfilling but the grass is always greener on the other side and being under stress is healthier than being overstressed.
Not to scare you, but I’m building the same thing in telnet rather than ssh. It won’t be slowed down by all that encryption and secured authentication.
I never liked Mr Bean, but I _love_ Blackadder (starting from season 2). Every season plays in a different time period. In the first season I feel the comedy is not yet really fleshed out.

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry also play roles in Blackadder.

And? The author seems to, since they're paying for a number of US-specific services. Obviously if you make 20k USD, then paying 2k USD on entertainment and optional applications for you and your family is a bad idea. If you make 200k then it's probably not.

We're here to talk about TFA. Coming here to comment that "people in country X can't afford this" isn't going to be a helpful conversation. People are aware that there's income differentials between countries.

I prefer Berry over Tree Style Tabs. Less clunky UI.
These questions presuppose a false dichotomy: vaccines can be therapeutic, prophylactic, or both. Simultaneously, they can be either sterilizing or attenuating with respect to the immunity they provide.

The COVID vaccines are prophylactic and therapeutic. So far, they seem to be mostly attenuating with respect to their immunity, not unlike flu vaccines (in two regards: both weak cross-strain protection and much milder illness when infected with the targeted strain). Additionally, there's decent empirical evidence that "breakthrough" cases are generally less contagious.

"Being realistic here" means getting a free, readily available vaccine that reduces the risk of serious illness or death. Separately, it means doing your civic duty to reduce load on our medical institutions and lessen the latent risk to those around you (who may have comorbidities that you are not privy to and are not entitled to be privy to).
I like dark roast coffee, ice cubes in my scotch, and my steak well done and I'm tried of people telling me I'm wrong. Let me like the things I like.

James Webb: possible to seek alien life clues in the atmospheres of exoplanets
> I would be stunned if the median laptop purchased from Dell cost more than $750 before tax or was used less than three years.

Fair… I was just trying to be generous in the cost estimate, but this just makes my point stronger.

> Competition acts to keep prices down, but this only operates within a product market, not between different markets.

That’s an interesting perspective. Reminds me of something I read — that home computer prices have straddled the $1K price over decades even though their usefulness has multiplied. It seems like there’s some other perspective that anchoring prices, AB’s whatever that is also tends to value hardware more than software.
Maybe, but I just don't like black coffee, and I'm pretty sure I've had "good" black coffee. Too acidic and bitter.

I guess you could say I "just don't like coffee," but I do like it with cream and sugar, so.... I mean, whatever. That's what I like.
How dumb of an idea would it be to somehow attach your electric drill to your manual whisk handle?
This is the anti-piracy stance too. Information cannot be stolen like this, only duplicated. It isn't the same thing. I am not a Facebook user nor have I ever been. I have never agreed to allow Facebook to track me. I don't owe then my data just because a random blog decides to embed a tracker.

Edit: clarification
I would love to see how effectiveness was determined. I've seen that stat thrown around here and there, and I find it dubious at best. Even if true, that means 10% of people will find medications ineffective. Sure, there are non-stimulants, but there is a reason they aren't used first, and that would still mean there is an x% of people that are treatment-resistant.

I know that goes for every disease, but the internet likes to paint ADHD medications for ADHD people like it's a literal cure-all.

In regards to stimulant efficacy, I would love to see the effectiveness rate over a time span greater than a few months to a year. I would like to see 10 and 20 year long studies (I understand the difficulties).

Anecdotally, the medications help, but I would consider them to be like a low dosage of painkillers for a burn victim -- better than nothing.
Early exercise is rarely ever an option except for very early stage companies. Most are ISOs with 90d window (which if you’re lucky converts to NSOs with a longer window) which is worst of both world bc of AMT
There's not "plenty" of good content. There's maybe two months of good content if you subscribed now and haven't watched anything on it before, ever. You're lucky if eight hours of good new content is added a month.
> You don’t want old coffee (anything older than a few weeks isn’t good)

I find pourovers extremely sensitive to timing. For an espresso, 1-2 weeks old is totally fine (even preferred?), but for pourovers the flavor is totally different even just 8-9 days after roasting. Is there any way around this?
The article says that the person behind this campaign of harassment has been arrested, tried, and sentenced to five years in prison.
The irony of now fb having more encryption in their URLs than a standard .onion URL...
My understanding is that Firefox, and eventually all the other browsers, intend to do something like this by default. They are all working to prevent cross site tracking, linking your activity on one site to your activity on another. For example, Chrome has: "In parallel to that we will aggressively combat the current techniques for non-cookie based cross-site tracking, such as fingerprinting, cache inspection, link decoration, network tracking and Personally Identifying Information (PII) joins." -- https://www.chromium.org/Home/chromium-privacy/privacy-sandb...
Sure, but a third or more of their subscriptions are both:

A. Subscriptions they said they were canceling in TFA.

B. Clearly optional entertainment expenses that amount to buying TV.

Trying to judge if other people are spending too much on entertainment seems like it's innately subjective, since different people want and enjoy different things.
Thread: NYC schools projecting enrollment losses of 30k students this Fall
Have you tried Spella?
The poster I responded to wrote: "Thalidomide is out of your system by your first grandchild." Actually, Thalidomide is out of your system within days. Quite a bit less time than it takes to have a grandchild.

The poster implies that there could be unknown long term effects of a vaccine, and conflates long term effects with birth defects, which, of course, appear only after a fetus has developed enough to spot defects in a sonogram or other imaging. It's a scare tactic.
Absolutely hate any service that does this, and won't use them.

> a distinctively American coffee snob hipster thing

Didn't it start in Northern Europe and flourish in Australia?
Something about bad “rusty spoon” diner coffee just tickles my fancy. It’s usually burnt, is technically not pleasant at all, and yet I can’t get enough of it. Probably more nostalgia for all of the friendships and conversations had over it over the years than the coffee itself. For all it’s flaws the human condition can be wonderful sometimes…
This reminds me of that Order of the Stick strip about bad coffee:

Xykon: Hell no, it's the most disgusting sludge I've put in my stomach in years. But you see, nothing really compares to a cup of truly awful coffee.

Right-Eye: Uh, how about a cup of really good coffee?

Xykon: Not the same thing at all. When you drink a cup of really good coffee, you try to immerse yourself in that cup. You focus all your senses on what you're drinking. How it smells, how it tastes, how it feels on your tongue. You savor the experience. But when you drink a cup of absolutely horrid coffee, you do everything possible to NOT immerse yourself in it. You try to shut out your senses from what you're drinking. Inevitably, you try to stave off the assault on your poor innocent tongue by mentally comparing it to all the better coffee you've had in your life, reliving each cup in comparison to the godforsaken sludge you're pouring down your gullet right now. So when you drink a good cup of coffee, you're only drinking that one cup... but when you drink a bad cup of coffee, you remember every good cup you ever drank. And at my advanced age, that's a helluva lot of good coffee.
That still gets them their cross-site analytics, since the encrypted URL is only accessed when you're visiting the page.
A lot of times what people dont realize when they get sticker shock from these recurring revenue models is what the price of the software would have been if the company wasn't willing to accept a future cashflow instead of the full discounted present value.

I think people don't really realize how expensive life has gotten because most of us dont pay full price for anything anymore. Even the idea of $12 a month for a heated seat ruffles some feathers, but many balk at the idea of paying $1200[1] upfront for a heated seat. Perhaps because they don't have $1200, but they do have a (presumed) income stream of $12 a month.

Ultimately I presume the internal rates of returns really benefit the companies (eg, maybe discounted using credit card rates)

> Nowadays the closest I've gotten to this is the people who keep using my Gmail address as their own email address. I find this behavior rather bizarre and don't know what it achieves.

I have this problem also! I thought it was rare. In my case I think the person is very bad with computers and doesn't know what their email address is. I've gotten emails from their bank, cell phone, and even online dating. I tried mailing them a letter once to tell them they are making a mistake but nothing changed.
You're missing the point that you might want @me:yourname.domain, but someone has already registered the domain. Real names aren't unique either. This is why domains frequently change hands for a lot of money.
Yeah this sounds like a something I'd read in a keto book I just read. High carbs -> poor insulin regulation, preventing the burning of fat and creating weight gain, plus various other pressures on the body which result from that.
I've simplified too. I have a $50 Cezve bought from a local store, and a $100 porlex grinder that actually does a grind fine enough.

With a $10 bag of beans, I'm good for a fortnight.
One of my favorites is The Road to Wigan Pier, which investigates living conditions of the British working classes. He fairly deftly draws a line between wages and social reforms in part 1, and why the working class largely don't identify as socialists in part 2. Fantastic read.

The entire European welfare state is dependent on the fact that they don't pay to maintain trade routes internationally—the US does that for them. The huge influx of refugees came a decade after Afghanistan and Iraq, due to US, Russian, Turkish (AND EUROPEAN) meddling in MENA.
It's a supply demand thing.

If you publish your code on github, it's more likely to be compromised than if it's just in the webapp, very well obfuscated.

A sufficiently motivated actor will break it, and frankly break almost anything else, so it's a game of probabilities etc..

Obfuscation probably does make sense so long as it's not obviously getting in the way of dev. and, with the key understanding that 'it can be broken'.

Physical security at most companies can be thwarted with enough effort, it doesn't mean we don't do it.

That’s interesting but I would say that being at the top of the capital hierarchy has no connection with loss of personal time. There’s plenty of people at the top of the capital hierarchy that don’t do anything at all. Or very little. I doubt Paris Hilton is up at 6 AM. Unless it’s to get hammered by some dude that she met at the bar.

I think linking capital to work as a correlation is pretty dangerous. That conversation will only lead to people realizing that they’re not paid according to the value they produce.

They’ll learn that they’re paid according to their ability to demand it. Soon after that, you have unrest. You have workers demanding unionization. Which is the correct answer.
Nobody wants their water heater to run anything, except maybe water heater manufacturers, who can squeeze a penny out of you, and then you like that your water heater is cheaper.
