My understanding is that Amazon is not the one printing these cards. Unless they go out of their way to scratch the card off themselves and then cover it back up or create a knockoff, the pack of activation cards they receive are all effectively indistinguishable from Amazon's point of view. They could track which of the various indistinguishable cards was shipped where, but that doesn't help towards determining who was shipped any given code.

The above attack might be a possibility if you're already being actively tracked by the NSA, but at the very least this approach gets you some degree of forward privacy in case the NSA only starts hardcore snooping after the card was already delivered to your door. Whether or not it is a useful degree of privacy is out of my area of expertise.
> Yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder IMHO this counts only for a limited scope.

And that scope is arbitrary and each person has their own threshold, so we go back to "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" :-P.

I didn't grew up or have any sort of nostalgia for CDE/Motif myself but i think it looks fine. I prefer Window Maker / NeXTStep myself though.
Thanks! I was looking for such info. It is really helpful and I had no idea about all these hidden fees.
Key takeaways:

* Shopify cutting ~1000 workers: most of the layoffs will occur in recruiting, support and sales units

* First big layoffs the company has announced since Mr. Lütke started the company in 2006.

* Shopify’s shares fall 15% to about $31

* Tobi Lütke: "It’s now clear that bet (that surging e-commerce sales growth would last past the Covid-19 pandemic’s ebb) didn’t pay off... I got this wrong"

* Laid off workers to be offered 16 weeks of severance to the laid-off workers, plus one week for every year of service
Associating falling for scammers with stupidity leaves yourself vulnerable through arrogance. Scamming happens to everyone.

The faster we collectively understand the above, the faster we can actually implement in solutions to do what we can to prevent scammers and also lift the shame from people who are victims.
> I have a problem with this one - the membership is supposed to give you access to events/etc hosted by BAYC, so in this case they are the trusted party and can run a database.

Ethereum blockchain is the database, BAYC can't delete, modify or censor any BAYC users.

> Furthermore, how do they handle the case where a membership NFT is stolen or acquired illegitimately? Do they still honor the stolen NFT and let the thief in? Do they blacklist the NFT and re-mint a new one to give to the original owner? Etc.

That's a good question and it already happened, I do not have an answer for that.

> at which point a lot of the blockchain's perks no longer apply and a database starts making more sense.

Getting a BAYC is as simple as transfering an NFT from one wallet to another, mint it with a wallet on BAYC website or buy it on a centralized or decentralized market place, anywhere in the world. There is no database with this type of frictionless.
I think it’s important to understand that russian culture has failed.

Ah fair. Yes, I think the marketplace builders were truly in on it if they invested a lot of their own money.
The only way I'd accept a contract that was not 'contract to hire with a high chance of conversion' is at a significant premium to compensate me for the hassle.
You don’t have to be in a car to experience street congestion. Hong Kong has plenty of areas with bus, metro or pedestrian congestion.

I have switched to:

* Mailfence for email

* NextCloud (self hosted) for documents. My local NAS backs up to it, and it backs up to zfs.rent, all with rsync.

* PhotoPrism (self-hosted on pikapods) for photos. Syncs with Next Cloud over webdav.

* Conduit (self-hosted) for chat.

Everything except PhotoPrism is hosted on a single $10/mo VM.

NextCloud has office app plug-ins, but I haven't tried them yet.
This is a great idea for learning Go! I’ve been trying to pick it up recently and tried to do a CLI for indexing and searching through files. Reading PDFs is such a long hill to climb while trying to learn a new language. A game or something with a TUI sounds like a much more enjoyable goal.

At this point, it's pretty silly that it is still considered "conspiracy theory" to aver that intelligence agencies have placed agents in major corporations throughout the world. Even mainstream limited hangout-type sources have started to acknowledge this. They discuss it on that Wind of Change podcast about the theory that the CIA wrote the Scorpions' song.

Or, to be more precise, it's silly that it is considered "conspiracy theory" in the way most people use the concept, as coterminous with "a false idea."

NB: "Nutritionist" and "dietician" are similar terms which can have very different meanings in practice.

In the U.S., a dietician is a board-certified credential with specific training and licensing requirements.

Nutritionist is a far looser term, though there may be some registration required.

Elsewhere, the terms may be interchanged, or used interchangeably.

Be aware of which you're looking at.

Yup, the way you interpret the JSON or DICOM matters.

In DICOM, the interpretation of the data is coupled with a specific file format, when it doesn't need to be.

We want window leveling to work the same way across the board, but whether you transmit the width, center, and algorithm (linear, sigmoid, etc.) in a DCM file or in JSON or in carrier pigeon doesn't particularly matter so long as the receiver can interpret it.

Would it be better if all modality manufacturers started sending JSON? Probably not, however manufacturers produce non-compliant DICOM ALL THE TIME so there's still an issue there with complexity and lack of strong testing tools for the standard.
It's more than 50... I mean just look at the number of API endpoints across multiple APIs both internal and external. It's easily hundreds then add sys ops, dev ops, dev content writing (docs/guides), frontend, design, pm, support, etc.

I feel like most of you all are unaware of the complexity and scope of Shopify...
They can _choose_ to use whatever they want, as long as the school doesn't force them to use proprietary stuff. It is responsibility of the school system to create an ethical learning environment and not to promote proprietary service providers. Gmail probably doesn't finance schools in Denmark either, so even less of a reason for schools there to do no-cost promotion of Gmail. And that is just one example.

Edit: After choosing something different than the school suggests, the pupils then themselves become responsible for making sure it is a suitable alternative to the non-proprietary ethical solution, that the school suggested.
Those vegetable prices are very cheap compared to a US supermarket--like maybe 1/3 or 1/4 the price?
I've been using the paid LT for several months now and love it, it's been very helpful.
Seemed like vapor in 2017 to me. I felt bad like it was scamming people who were dumb out of their money.

Once I looked at how the prices rose and the at didn’t support the Eth use case, I thought the architecture was stupid or at worst built purposely to have unnecessary scarcity to drive prices up.
I use Jelly 2 phone (3 inch display: https://imgur.com/a/WXG6YXg) and OLauncher (no icon, just text). Only Spotify, Map, Mail, Calendar and Telegram. Any other app is unusable as the screen is way too small.

It's so annoying to use that I really use it when I have to.
I enjoy cooking a lot (which can be parsed two ways and I mean both of them) but of course I feel like that sometimes too.

But once you're into it, that's simple, those are the nights you have leftovers, something from the freezer (made before), or 10-15min pasta & grilled vegetables.

(To be honest my problem is more not feeling like that often enough, so I always make something new and the freezer fills up. Also eating from the freezer comes with the problem of not remembering exactly what you did, if it's particularly good and you want it again...)
I just describing what higher managements are possibly thinking, and I guess I'm kinda on track for it since usually management prefer to hire new people than promoting existing employees.

In game though, usually better stats hiring are only appear mid-late game, or are expensive to hire early on that you can only get one mid-late game. Don't compare with real life though.

I can second CuriousMarc and Ben Eater for anyone interested in computer engineering.

CuriousMarc has an amazing series on the Apollo Guidance Computer, as well as great one-off videos like running a linux terminal on a teletype (https://youtu.be/2XLZ4Z8LpEE).

Ben Eater does amazing videos on low level electronics, and has a great series on understanding how a computer really works.

> I know that not everybody have an eye for style like I have.

Another way to think of that is that your taste is not the same as others' - do not let that difference blind you and make you think yours is somehow superior, accept that what you dislike can be something that others do like and this isn't about them lacking something you do not.
My city has a large fleet of fuel cell buses and has had them for over a decade, which suggests you don’t know what you are talking about.
It really depends on your customer. In my case, I did cold emailing. I was able to narrow down my customer by their job title/role and knew exactly who to email.

I don't really buy into gimmicks or tricks to differentiate my emails. You can read a lot of "tricks" out there, but they come across as inauthentic to me and that isn't how I wanted to establish a business relationship.

The thing I did was send very targeted emails (to people I honestly believed would benefit from my service) and every email was personalized (and I don't mean using a template and swapping out variables). I sent each and every email from scratch, one at a time.

I did read a few books on sales outreach and prospecting ("Predictable Revenue" and "Predictable Prospecting"). They were helpful and I did pick up a few ideas from them, but I mainly took the knowledge and paved my own prospecting/outreach strategy from it.

With that being said, I haven't done any outreach in over three years. All of my customers come to me, mainly referred to my service by existing customers. Or customers that leave a company and advocate for my service at their new company.
> I think people just want phones that are just less addicting.

That's easy. Learn to type 120wpm. Going from 120wpm on a laptop to 30wpm on a phone will seem like pure agony. Unfortunately, you'll still be addicted to the internet, but at least you can't take your laptop into the can with you. Well, not in public, anyway.
I love your name in a defense thread. :-) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here

Defense has a lot of challenges. The government isn’t a great or reliable customer. The contractors tend to lay off on great waves if they lose and important contract. They have quarterly earnings targets to hit like everyone else.

People used to think the phone company was a safe spot to lay your hat but they found layoffs too be an easier way to goose earnings than growing revenue.
Yep. Likewise for Solzhenitsyn who denied Ukraine and its language the right to existence in no uncertain terms. See e.g. the 1990 essay "How should we organize Russia": (link in Russian)

I’d assume this linear city would also involve a lot of bridging, since due to the width trains would basically almost be on top of each other.

Trains crossing perpendicular have to bridge maybe 6m at most. You’d have to bridge the entire length of city for this. And a fire would render any lines above or below unsafe to run until extinguished.

For sure, there is not a straight line and what I said was an oversimplification. In fact, it may not even be true.

Is it bigotry to hate the bigot?
nobody here able to shift this up on a meta level?

society has rules. sub-criminal behavior breaking rules is responded to with open dismissal by some observers. the unfolding situation triggers shame in most people. those people will avoid these situations and stay in line. those who are shameless can break rules of sub-criminal relevance and if they do so intelligently can benefit from it.

this obviously only works if only a small subset acts shameless. otherwise reaction to rule breaking might also be more shameless and by that more painful.

there you go. have a nice day.

ps: the intro with parcival is total nonesense by the way and serves no relevant purpose illustrating the concept.
I think if it's "I think this is offensive", they don't take any action—that just tells their algorithm what sort of thing you don't want to see.

For the more specific/serious stuff—reporting scams, violence, etc—they'll investigate (or pretend they did) and report back to you, but I don't get any of those responses for the "offensive" option.
How would you define the difference between shamelessness and owning it? I guess one could be seen as passive and one as active, but they seem like they're basically the same thing to me, or maybe two sides of the same coin. I guess you could be void of the emotion of shame without taking a resulting action.

I wasn't trying to fight you specifically. The hypothetical situation I sketched was different from your personal anecdote because I didn't want to fight, rather show the common mantra isn't so simple outside the typical bubbles.
I think the idea is that what you are getting from Amazon is a card with a code on it. Amazon doesn't know which code it's sending you, you just get one at random. Mullvad likewise doesn't know which code Amazon sold you. So you get your card, enter the code into Mullvad, and none of that information is trackable to you. Amazon would know you bought a Mullvad card but would have zero way to link you to a specific code. Mullvad might know the code was purchased from Amazon, but not who was the purchaser. Worst case scenario is that Amazon rats you out to the police/CIA/NSA/etc and now you are on a list of people that purchased Mullvad VPN services.

It's a pretty damn recent shift even in the US. Tons of movies from the 00s up to the early part of the 20-teens still used it freely and there was no major uproar over it—in general, no-one thought anything of it. Practically no-one bothered to write "r-word" when discussing it rather than just using the term.

It can be jarring to hear in otherwise tame movies, now that we're conditioned to shun the word, but I'm pretty sure that conditioning is something that only a minority of people in the US have been exposed to, even today. Mostly those of us who are online too much, probably. Outside that sort of bubble I'm not sure how "problematic" it's actually considered to be, by the average person.
This is a good point. Just like it should be ok to read Kipling for his literary merits, keeping in mind you don't have to agree with his politics.

Some of the most evil people have been super friendly. That's how they lure you in. It's kind of like The Firm. They lure you in with all of that glorious salary, all of those perks like free food, they let you work on projects that seem quite cool and almost decent at the beginning. Then, once you're accustomed to everything and are pretty locked in, they hit you with the shady stuff.

So you kind of have to be friendly, otherwise, no new recruits would join up unless they were just sadists already.

I think we seeing that many who decry racism didn’t mean it.

They just wanted a cudgel for power — they’re perfectly happy to engage in that behavior themselves, when it suits them.
>yes it's an advertisement
Tried that. I kept getting the 'we don't have the budget right now, but we'll make it up to you soon, promise'. Two years later I still didn't get more than 1.5% increases in salary, despite increases in responsibility and managing multiple offshore developers with a higher title than I had.

Put in my notice, got a call from the skip-level manager expressing surprise and how I meant so much to them, they need me, and what would it take to keep me. I said I got a significant raise in my offer (and I did, was about 60%), and asked for 30% on top of that to stay, and he just said "Wow. Well I can't do that. I was was thinking more like 20%."

And if they had given me the 20% earlier, maybe I wouldn't have gone job searching in the first place to get that 60% increase. So I guess in a perverse way I should thank them for being so stingy?
So you’re saying that the the unnamed town you’re in bought a few FC buses 10 years ago and is still maintaining them today? That’s great, but it’s also an anecdote.

> Well that will just cement my lack of relationship with Google and ensure that my business goes to AWS.

How can you run your ads through AWS? Or a better question, what other ad networks that are comparable to what Google offers are there? Because to me it seems almost like a monopoly in regards to how impactful Google's services are - sadly they aren't regulated as such.
What about Italy?
I also was a little annoyed with having to manually manage something that was on auto-pilot for me but I found a happy medium I think. I bought 2 years in advance and then I have reminders every year to add another year. That way I should always keep a 1 year buffer if something slips a little. It's not perfect but I don't think it will be that bad.
