Why don't you read what I wrote instead of making up your own meaning?

Your link was about anti-Russian sentiment being tied to western propaganda when in reality, they're creating that sentiment through their own actions.
Yeah, the Russians who fled are not those who are fighting in Ukraine.
> I must acknowledge my internal dialogue - more than one voice with differing perspectives that both reside inside of me. This means making my entry more of a dialogue, one that explores many avenues and looks at things from all sides.

I once took the approach of journaling in a spreadsheet to address this. It was actually pretty useful.

I took two approaches:

- A column per "aspect", and row per topic. I factored time out of the equation, and let each cell mature and become more well articulated. Not every aspect had something to say about every topic.

- A column per "aspect" and a row per day, allowing variance in the topic. Each cell becomes what that voice is saying at the given time.

This let me see both evolution of thought and accumulation of thought. It lead to me having a very full and rich understanding of myself at the time and what I thought and felt.

Ultimately, it did quite well at getting me through a tough time and helping me make decisions on very difficult topics.
Mullvad is getting so successful, I'm getting a bit worried about security/honeypot/buyouts status :( and I just bought a full year subscription.

Old math teacher would put homewoek assignment on board at start of day.

So I would just solve it during class. Teaching myself from the book.

One day assignment wasn’t on board. So I asked her for it so I could do it during class.

She was confused and asked me how I was going to learn the material if I wasn’t paying attention.

Well it turns out people get really upset when you logically explain how you don’t need them since the book teaches it just fine.
Arc is by far the easiest solution. You don't have to deal with indices at all.
Doesn't that just make rdp.sh a single point of failure? It has access to both your real IP and the contents of your private communications (it even terminates the TLS connection on your side).

Theoretically, chaining 2-3 VPNs together Tor-style would be far better (assuming they all support similar payment methods as Mulivad), but I don't know of any VPN clients that support that.
Build Pong in Your Terminal, with Go for some reason
You tell me, what other language has a drop-in solution that provides module management, formatting, integration with the debugger, intellisense docs, linting with static analysis while I'm typing, and even testing? The plug-in is actually made by the Go Team at Google, its not like adding Black and Poetry etc. in python, its not even like the moving target that is create-react-app or whatever people use now in JS/TS. Those are much older languages, but what would you compare it to?

I'm not saying Go is the only modern language, its pretty retro in some ways, but it has an exceptional tooling story. The fact that its mainly based around the official go tool helps.
The State is hostile to privacy-coins. Its kind of astonishing that the State is not hostile to all crypto as it seeks to separate money from state. Back in the olden days, I thought bitcoin would go to zero because of how the Feds neutralized the Liberty Dollar, this flaw in my modelling probably cost me $100m :(

(Liberty Dollar founder was convicted of "making, possessing and selling his own coins" which were either silver coins or paper-notes backed by metal)

fwiw I think NFTs will be a big deal b/c they will unlock experiences. If we ever move to a Metaverse-type system, this will enable the creation of uncopyable digital experiences (can't just rip an mp3/mpeg)

I have actually seen this multiple times - a very common thing, at least in the US, is using gift card magstripes for cloning stolen card track data onto.

This is mostly irrelevant in countries that use chip and pin.
> I’m defending myself in court in a democratic western country where people are assumed innocent until proven otherwise.

There are no such countries; that standard would make it impossible to get convictions for almost every crime that ever occurred.

Compare this case from the United States: https://volokh.com/2014/01/02/wrongful-convictions-proof-bey...

> In October of 2007, Elizabeth P. Coast, then seventeen, reported that when she was ten years old a neighborhood boy named “Jon” sexually assaulted her while the two were alone in her grandmother’s backyard

> [the trial court] tried and convicted Montgomery in a one-day bench trial for the assault of Coast. Coast testified under oath that Montgomery had sexually assaulted her in 2000.

> no other witnesses to the incident testified at Montgomery’s trial. Neither was any corroborating physical evidence that an assault occurred ever presented. The trial judge categorized this case as a “word against word situation.” In reaching his verdict, the trial judge concluded that Coast was more credible then Montgomery because she had “no motive whatsoever” to lie. The trial court then found Montgomery guilty of forcible sodomy, aggravated sexual battery, and object sexual penetration. On April 10, 2009, the trial judge sentenced Montgomery to 45 years in prison, with 37 years and 6 months suspended…

> On November 1, 2012, Coast voluntarily made a videotaped statement at the Hampton Police Department. After consulting with counsel and receiving Miranda warnings, Coast recounted how she had falsely testified that Montgomery had assaulted her.

> Coast explained that immediately before she accused Montgomery, her mother caught her looking at “sex stories” on the Internet. Out of fear of her mother, Coast said that she was looking at inappropriate material because she had been molested when she was ten years old. After she reluctantly named Montgomery as her attacker, the lie snowballed. Coast felt like she could not admit that the assault never happened
You probably have enough history with Google to get away with it.

What they likely do is have several flags that push an account closer to being autobanned, so it's not just one thing, but a combination that gets you knocked out. I'd imagine a list like:

Using scammer friendly credit card: -10 points

Used a TOR exit node: -20 points

Account age < 2 years: -15 points

Account spend < $1000US: -10 points

Service being advertised is not well known to Google's data mining: -10 points

etc...

Get enough demerits and your account is toast, and since people are expensive once a bot flags the account you don't really have a recourse. Ironically if you want your ad to continue to run the best people to talk to probably isn't Google's tech support but black market scammers who have built and industry around understanding and circumventing these protections.
I think it may have also been problematic legally for Apple. The US laws for CSAM are very strict and Apple wanted to do some sort of confirmation that the images are indeed CSAM which would have meant moving the images from the device to Apple servers.
This is Apple. I personally read it as "we're making sure you can handle Steve Jobs if he walks into the room"
Agree with this. Exchanging for fiat is hard. Most people will go cash->other crypto via centralized exchange -> monero via decentralized or p2p exchange. Then back the same way.

It’s not really that complicated if you are comfortable managing wallets and making on-chain tx’s, but your average person in crypto is probably just buying crypto on a centralized exchange (most of which don’t support monero, though some do) and also selling it there.
And then you realize that sometimes it has become even worse due to tcp head of line blocking and you move to udp and build a worse version of http3
It does matter, but first things first. If you struggle to breathe your first priority won't be finding food, but your entire energy will go into solving the most urgent problem.
Linux/BSD will do it fine.
Developer here. If you are going to use in Linux, I recommend you to install it using flatpak.
This isn't true in my experience at least for ad tech. Finger printing has moved from a deterministic process, to probabilistic models and IP plays a meaningful role in that. I believe it is why Apple spent the time building Private Relay for instance.
For Trump maybe, he got 4 years as the POTUS by saying crazy things in a crazy manner and with a crazy delivery.

Musk net worth however peaked before he started saying crazy things. What got him there was selling pie-in-the-sky ideas which never come to fruition, BS-ing investors and the ever powerful Us v. Them (oil companies, Wall St. shortsellers, hedge funds etc.)
Tesla remotely converts battery pack, cutting 1/3 of range
--------Transcript of tweets, for those that don't want to go to birdsite--------

Tesla really fires me up sometimes.

I have a customer who's the ~3rd owner of a 2013 Model S 60.

At some point years ago the battery pack was swapped under warranty with a 90 pack. It wasn't software limited. It was effectively made into a 90 by Tesla.

Years went by.

Car is sold twice since, and now has a new owner (my customer). It says 90, badged 90, has 90-type range.

He has the car for a few months, goes in and does a paid MCU2 upgrade at Tesla after the 3G shutdown.

All goes well. The upgrade is done, car is working fine.

Later on, while the car is parked in his driveway, Tesla calls him to tell him that they found and fixed a configuration mistake with his car.

They remotely software locked the car to be a 60 again, despite having been a 90 for years.

He now has ~80 miles less range.

Furious, he demands they restore it back to the way it was, and they refuse. "We can unlock it for $4,500."

This guy bought a car, & years later Tesla reaches in remotely with no warning and literally cuts his usable range by a third!

(I confirmed story w/logs)

Imagine walking out to your car to find it's now 1/3rd as good as it was 15 minutes ago, and Tesla making it out like this is a good thing! They fixed the problem!

What do you do?

He tried for a while with them with no progress.

I try to help, but without completely disconnecting the car from Tesla, when I change it back to a 90 their "teleforce" bot reaches in remotely and flips it back to a 60 within moments. There's hacky ways around this, but none are ideal.

Tesla won't help him at all.

Honestly, this is pretty f*cked up.

Guy had no way to know that this was going to be done by Tesla. They basically robbed him & are demanding a ransom to get back what he had before.

That's just wrong.

- Do better on this and make it right. DM for VIN.
Yea, at my F500 sized company we set budgets year(s) in advance. I literally have a line item (that gets reviewed monthly!) for each major SAAS product my team uses. We estimate like a 5% inflation YoY into these budgets.

If a vendor purposefully under-quoted / undersold me and then asked me to pay more $$ 6 months in, I literally couldn't do that if I wanted to.
I think any successor company will be aware that probably 50% would quit right away. It's reputation would plummet like a piece wise linear cliff.
Thanks for the feedback - I've updated the README file.
For some reason I was really hoping it was jai alai.
Antitrust enforcement is so scattershot, varying over time and depending on current us administration. It's like an entire higher level of abstraction over the problem. And in practice we have extremely little antitrust enforcement in the us over the last 20 years. We'd have to theoretically fix antitrust enforcement, then eventually "market forces" would force google say, to improve customer service.

Google is not going to change, they are one of the trillion dollar babies and they can just ignore us. Just like apple. What anti-trust enforcement could cause them to change? I'm skeptical the new EU rules about how "open install of apps to breakup app-store monopolies" will work to effect change.
Because we're now conflating two things. See the other threads in this discussion.
In the case of Mullvad, my experience is that something like 5% of websites get pissy about it, and I have to turn it off, or Tor, or whatever else to get around it.
Hey there! I work on Stripe Checkout and we recently released an update that should make selling globally a lot easier, removing most of the bullet points in your post.

Thanks!
Researchers as a whole need to do more checking. While I agree that errors like the one identified in the link are rare, they are not so rare that one shouldn't spend the time looking for them or assume that everything was done properly.

I've speculated before that peer review gives researchers false confidence in published results [0]. A lot of academics seems to believe that peer review is much better at finding errors than it actually is. (Here's one example of a conversation I had on HN that unfortunately was not productive: [1].) To be clear, I think getting through peer review is evidence that a paper is good, albeit weak evidence. I would give the fact that a paper is peer reviewed little weight compared against my own evaluation of the paper.

> There are huge swathes of MISRA which forbid things which not only aren't possible in Rust or SPARK

I can't vouch for its accuracy, but https://github.com/PolySync/misra-rust seems to very much agree with you.
Looks amazing, thanks.
I 100% agree with this. I also think it should apply to things like error codes from applications.

The bad actors will figure it out anyway because that is their day job. So the people who get harmed are the innocents who don't want to fight in some information war just to run an ad.
The both sides framing is a common tactic used to make this seem even but there’s a pretty notable difference if you look at the details. For example, Newsweek’s right-wing owners love this framing but the left example is a single school district removing a book from the curriculum whereas the right wing examples are far more widespread and include books being removed from libraries. The motives are also different: banning books which depict racism positively (highly debatable in this example) is different from banning them because they reflect existence of gay people in a positive manner.
There should be someone tasked with doing the ongoing 'soft' followup and account maintenance in most businesses of this scale anyway. It's just often a different person. Hence the authors' point that compensating two units of the sales team can work out if there's more revenue generated overall (otherwise it probably works out by the initial commissions offered being smaller...)
Tone deafness of your comment aside, this is just like... your opinion man. We don't know this will happen for sure, neither do we know this will not happen. People are not going to spend their time worrying about something that might not happen. There are enough bad things in everyone's life which are certain.
Yeah, I assume that either everything is infected and backdoored and there's no way to detect it until it's too late, or almost nothing is infected because doing so would be the cross platform compatibility nightmare of all nightmares.

I don't know which one it is.
Don’t think it’s just giving them money.

Aside from the regular account locked support threads here on hn the YouTube creators also seem less than pleased with recent changes (eg LTTs regular rants)
nah just get the first one and reply unsubscribe in the subject and body, you'll be fine.
I'd be surprised if that's not one of the bits of firmware that's checked on boot. So yeah, probably not possible, and not possible to downgrade.
Older I get, I care less about the desktop I use as long as I have a toolbar, can alt-tab my apps, and has nice looking fonts. I look at windows 11 and osx and amazed how win10 and linux font rendering is still bad.

Only reason i bring it up, the screenshot looks like a nice and fun desktop, but the fonts are still horrible.

I have win11 in a vm, and its amazingly nice looking fonts, in win10 I use MacType, on linux I can get terminal fonts to look good and ms code, but the gui/desktop still looks meh.
Meta is raising the price of the Quest 2 to 400 USD
I played around with making a little websocket layer for browser games a while back. I used a Windows tool called "clumsy" to simulate crappy network conditions and was surprised at how poor the results were with just WebSockets, despite all the overhead of being a protocol on top of a protocol. The result is that you need to build a protocol on top of the protocol on top of the protocol if you actually want your messages delivered...
I have found this type of “self examination journaling” to be very valuable. Rather than spilling random thoughts on paper, I try to study myself like a subject and ask myself things. I interview myself on paper and uncover some great insights about who I am and why I do things. I’ve never been on top of it as much as I should, but what little I have done has helped me overcome some big personal obstacles.

My variation:

- through therapy and random thoughts, collect questions for oneself (see below)

- when you journal, pick a question based on feeling, aim to spend all the time writing and go!

I like to meditate afterwords because it puts me in a very open and receptive place when I journal.

Questions I’ve found effective:

Why do I do X? instead of Y? when faced with Z? What should I do?

What are my motivations? Inspirations? Fears? Where do they come from? Which ones are healthy? Which ones are winning? How do I make them converge?

How do I identify my inner child’s desires? Which ones are important? Which ones are not? How do I make myself happy while still being responsible?
The technology is the same as any other gift card (cash-like instrument identified by code that can be transferred over the internet or phone). Scammers also use regular bank transfers, wire transfers, cryptocurrencies, and payment services like Zelle and Venmo. Gift cards are convenient because they're cash-like, but they don't enable scams.
Yeah, let me clarify my argument there. Open source, safe, well-known clients, mods or modding systems can easily be monitored for workarounds and flagged, and become unviable. Malicious actors with second intentions however can keep finding new exploits and releasing small, obscure, harmful software that has way less exposure because the vast majority of people are not interested in harming anyone, they just want their mods to do something minor like displaying screenshots in the loading screen or adding support for eye tracking. They will not seek these out. These will be sold (financial incentive) or used by people with too much time on their hands and an axe to grind.
The ars technica article said it was windows focused, but the same techniques should work on other OS. If you had network monitoring how hard would it be to see this firmware-kit trying to talk to the internet. Is it sophisticated enough to hide in normal traffic somehow?
It's worth a note that this was introduced with the latest DLC, and the AI currently is hopelessly broken as it does not understand the importance of defending your railway lines connecting your supply depots.
Isn't the main answer that if you had enough money for them to care, you'd have an account manager? Imagine the ad spend is very top-heavy with a long tail
Something more like https://transparency.dev/verifiable-data-structures/ would probably be a better fit.

The ideas are "blockchain adjacent" but without the waste.
I understand what you mean. But then why cant the big tech hire support staff (looking at you Google).

Probably lots of money could be made with better support.

Microsoft seems to do it thr correct way - I worked at a "boring" company that had a lot of licenses and we had highest tier support - we found a bug in Excel (!) and they fixed it.

If you are a small fish you wont get any support and often not give money. I wonder if this doesnt add up.
May not be tactful, but, difficult to disagree.
"Most of the impacted roles are in recruiting, support, and sales, and across the company we’re also eliminating over-specialized and duplicate roles, as well as some groups that were convenient to have but too far removed from building products."

Important to keep in mind that engineering roles may not be as affected as other departments.
In Rust, people tend to go for the easiest solution that works within the borrow checker, and not workarounds like Rc or Arc. Otherwise, the performance hit means there's little reason to use Rust over much easier languages.
amen to this. They should form no part of anyone's core business, unless you're abusing a free feature of theirs.
Information Camouflage
95% of the time, sure. You will hit some companies that will ID it as VPN and refuse though. I just don't do business there and send them an email to update their security policy and I'll try again at some future date. I even have a template email that I keep just for that purpose.
What does "the fall of the empire" mean? The empire has already fallen several times.
True, but it's one brief paragraph, not more than 50% of the message like we've seen.
Do you interview one single person at a time for the job?

That's what has killed my desire for interviews with certain companies at times when they bring up long interviews as the next steps.

If I have a company say "the next round will be 3 hours of interviews, we're going to wrap up this round on all candidates then move on" I will 100% drop the interview process and not move forward.

On the other hand, if a company tells me "the next round will be 3 hours of interviews, you're currently the only candidate we are interviewing for this role" or "we're interviewing multiple people but have multiple roles open" I will gladly continue the process. (This is a question I always ask in interviews.)

It essentially comes down to "why waste my time continuing with a company when the end result could be 'oh we found someone that we feel is slightly better than you, but you're our backup'".

Have I given up on some jobs that would be cool? Yep, but I'm not going to waste my time with a company if they use a shotgun interview approach that will take my time and essentially turn it into a lottery system for them to pick from.
Could machine learning fuel another reproducibility crisis in science?
I always follow up asking why, to date (over about 18 years of memory) only about 4 or 5 ever responded, and of those I think only 2 actually said why but incidentally they were smaller more technical companies, corporates don't even give applications to a human anymore so I don't bother.

It's a disgusting practice tbh and should be dealt with properly by things like regulation but why bother I guess.
Unless, the card has a visible QR/bar code that is 1 to 1 with the hidden code. Then we are f*ed. Not mentioning this a criticism, I like Mullvad, bought this card a couple of days ago and thought about that case when buying it.
"a significant portion of the Russian people are aware, that they are being lied to, but are to scared to do anything about this"

Well, some of them must be trying to rationalize and normalize what's happening to reduce psychological suffering, but calling them bad on these grounds has a distinct feeling of blaming the victim.
