That's only part of it, Twitter is also in the ad business, and in the ad industry, phone numbers are used as identifiers to correlate users between datasets.

If it's just about limiting access, Cloudflare imposes a similar limitation of number of accesses you can have to a website via remote attestation. I think once remote attestation becomes more prevalent, it might become useful in the ad business too, e.g. to prevent you from using ad blockers, or similar things.

> Protein...Plant diets are lacking

No, they are not lacking. Have you tried a plant based / meat-free diet and found this to be the case?

"Studies at Harvard University as well as other studies conducted in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and various European countries, confirmed vegetarian diets provide sufficient protein intake as long as a variety of plant sources are available and consumed"

I tried a metal filter in my aeropress for some time, and the coffee was noticably worse. Much more acidic than high-quality paper filters (the aeropress brand paper filters are merely okay). A good paper filter can make good coffee great.

> Also, people always seem to skimp on the amount of grinds they use (or maybe I'm habituated to super strong coffee).

Couldn't agree more. Especially since the extraction is so uneven, you need a ton of grinds to make good coffee. Some of the better machines distribute water more evenly. There was a stretch when I used a drip filter daily and I disturbed the grounds half way through. Regardless, I find myself absolutely packing in the grinds to make a decent pot, whereas my beans go much further in a pour over or aeropress.

It appears that you're complaining about what gets accepted and what gets rejected for publication to academic journals, which can be a legitimate complaint. The journals are inevitably subject to a form of academic "trendiness" (for lack of a better word).

But that issue is not quite the same as how academics treat journal articles in general. The journals are not a full or fully accurate representation of academia or science as a whole.
Same here. It's not all bad though, I think a lot of Larkin's poetry can best be appreciated when you have a few years behind you and have had some of the same experiences as him.
I’m not sure that a comparison of US to places like Afghanistan or the African bush are the most apt. Maybe some place that is closer to being a peer in terms of technological advancement / adoption like Iran, Korea, Brazil, Russia, or Singapore would make more sense?

The big irony for the US is that the people who are fretting about the “feminization of men” are the same who deny global warming; while technological advancement, increasing connectedness - i.e. rapid movement of matter and information - and global warming are all one singular spacetime event.

But that is a digression. There are certainly many places with less progressive than the US, though I am not sure how strong the average backlash is across places that are closer to the US in terms of technological adoption.

Later models solved these issues and more and were much more bang for the buck. And maximized the usability for the size and price point.

It is difficult to evaluate a single paper without thinking how this paper fits in the broader context and field.

Evaluating a paper involves having spent several years reading many papers and understanding where the field is and where the major challenges are.

Trying to read a single paper in isolation from all the others would lead to over interpretation of the results.

This is why many graduate courses often just involve reading the latest literature and discussing it as a group. Discussing a paper as a group, especially with the presence of a few senior people helps to put the paper in a larger context (because the group together have read more papers than an individual). This greatly accelerated a PhD students understanding of the current state of the art in order to define what are the most interesting next questions.

Overall though, most scientific papers are meant for scientists and the point of them is to figure out whether there is some new idea that can lead to new directions or inquiry. For non practicing scientists, review papers are the way to go because they summarise many papers and try to put them into the context of the open questions.
Yep, my favorite part of heap/stack corruption is not when it crashes immediately but rather when it rears its head 2-3 weeks/months later when some upstream call pattern or timing has changed.

I've spend weeks chasing down single instances of this on multiple projects. The nasty part is you have no predictability in if it's going to be one that crashes immediately, silently writes garbage(hopefully not to disk!), is a latent lurking crash or security vuln.

If you trash the stack then there's a good chance you lose the backtrace as well which can make a hard to debug issue become "find the needle in the haystack". I hope it's something that reproduces quickly and consistently because otherwise you're in for a ride.

Ask HN: Which re-entry/de-orbit was this?
Hi HN!

With the CZ5N re-entry happening I figured you could point me in the right direction to solve this mystery:

On the evening of july 14, around 20:15 UTC we saw something pass over our heads fairly slowly (apparently stationary), leaving a greenish, sparkly line over the course of several minutes. It also left a long trail that apparently was still illuminated by the sun, originating at an azimuth of ~210° (SSW).

Our observation position was ~48.08° N, 11.28° E (southern Germany, near Munich).

About 20 minutes later I tried digging into it a little on James Darpinian's See A Satellite Tonight and found a rocket/booster stage that could have had a matching trajectory (CZ-4B R/B).

I'd love to dig deeper into this, so:

1. Are there any websites where I can revisit that time/location? I'm aware of TLEs but would appreciate a "time-travel" view for the location in question

2. The CZ-4B R/B still seems to be „around“. Is it likely that we saw re-entry of only smaller parts of it that were just low enough to "hit" a substantial amount of atmosphere?

3. Are there other explanations for a slow-moving object leaving a trail creating greenish, sparkly lines?

4. What additional information would be needed to figure out what happened?

Any help is much appreciated!

You can contact support about the lockers, I got them to resend a code I deleted.
So you want a non-unique SSID in order not to have your address uniquely identifiable everywhere you take your phone or other device that's trying to connect to it..but not a common one such that it aids cracking the password... How is one supposed to come up with a common enough but not too common SSID?

Also, if your phone is trying to connect to your 'Bob's Hotspot' say, but you have it turned off, and someone else (er, Alice, why not) notices this and starts broadcasting 'Bob's Hotspot', does the phone send the passphrase, to Alice (who doesn't know it a priori), or is there some kind of certificate verification that it's the expected seen-before router, that fails in this case so the passphrase isn't sent?
"emission readiness" is a specific state of the computer where all of the sensors are reporting "good for an extended period of time". It takes several drive cycles to get into that state. So that you can't, for example, reset the ECU and drive in for an inspection right then.

They do also do live tests with a sensor, but the "ECU says car is emissions ready" is an additional requirement. At least in many US states...maybe not yours?
I'm curious now, can you expand on dark recall patterns?

Is there a system you like to use?

If I'm switching keyboard layouts, I'm not programming in both layouts. I'm programming in a variation of the US layout, and writing natural language text in a different layout. I'm sure it is disruptive at first, but I got used to it such a long time ago at this point.

There are also a lot of games that don't work except in the QWERTY layout, so I am always switching if I play a game. I have gotten used to it.

I've only ever figured out how to type accents for foreign languages on Macs. Windows has the ALT+1234 gibberish that you have to memorize. I've been fighting against layouts and IMEs on Linux for at least two decades at this point and there are at least three different ways to set the keyboard layout, each of which affect different applications, and some applications seem to ignore the keyboard layout I set. As a result, I often just kind of give up on typing accented characters except on a Mac.

Most definitely, but it depends on a lot of factors, like how and when the beans and coffee were prepared. Overly fine ground (maybe with a blade?) dark roast in a filter pot? It's going to be terrible coffee regardless.

A high quality bean lightly roasted and ground perfectly just now in a pour over? Two days ago versus two weeks will be noticeably different, three to four weeks after it'll be obvious.

Edit: I'd like to know more of the variables that went into this. "Most people" I know don't drink black coffee, if they drink coffee regularly, or don't drink coffee at all. If you're used to drinking store bought grinds and using a filter pot (or some kind of pod system) then you're probably already a lost cause here.

Or maybe they just don't like being poor and miserable. Most US cities are crazy expensive, have no real public transportation, extreme wealth divides, rampant homelessness, no economic mobility, limited green space, cultures that are materialistic, shallow, and antisocial, a dominant car culture... they just lack so much of the vibrance of many foreign cities.

I think there are a few exceptions to this, like Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans... and maybe not coincidentally, they are also some of the poorer cities.

Actually I think the last few days recommendation is off by quite a bit. Most boutique roasters I know about typically recommend to use the beans within 2 month after roasting and some even recommend to not use the before 1 or two weeks after roasting .

A different test would be the grinding one. I am very sure I can taste the difference between fresh ground and ground a day or two ago coffee (for espresso however). I would be interested what you get for that experiment.

With respect, I don't see the relevance because the additional emissions caused by removing a catalytic converter are an extremely minor harm to the occupant and others. If, for example, driving a car with a catalytic converter removed caused the vehicle to explode killing the occupants (or any other significant harm), then the manufacturer and retailer would absolutely be held responsible. Physical products are required to fail safely in foreseeable circumstances.

If by my second point, you're referring to circumventing the tamper-proof seal on medications, then maybe you'd like to expand? Manufacturers, retailers, and medical staff are (jointly) responsible for medications for their entire life cycle. A retailer who sells a poisoned medication is absolutely liable, as is the manufacturer who produced a fallible tamper-proof seal (which is worse than no seal at all).

Feel free to elaborate on why you think I'm wilfully ignorant.

9-Dimensional Haystack
The US is currently experiencing a hangover from the social effects of the cold war. The intentional construction of a christo-national subjective identity as a counterbalance to the atheistic Russian communists continues to reverberate in the socio-political sphere. There are some obvious contradictions when this meets the business world like, "shouldn't businesses with feminine cultural practices outcompete masculinized corpos?", but I'd argue this is currently being played out in trenches of office politics in the micro and labor vs capital in the macro. If we embark on a process of self-selection into dichotomous gendered organizations I'd expect this to crystalize into more tangible, but it's too early to tell and business/orgs don't have coherent messaging even if they wanted to leverage this into an advantage so it ends up being sublimated into typical ineffectual neoliberal posturing.

What title are you referring to? I am guessing that title got edited and initially used partial header from github page "A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers" cutting of second part "Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM".

Hex editor can also be very useful for programmers when working with binary file formats. Implementing support for image and archive formats. Testing that your code outputs the thing you expected it to output or inspecting a file which your program fails to process because some other program included some unexpected option fields or something like that. It's sometimes even useful even when working with text fails, typically because they included some invisible symbols which you didn't expect or differentiating between similar looking unicode symbols.

> I’m not sure that a comparison of US to places like Afghanistan or the African bush are the most apt. Maybe some place that is closer to being a peer in terms of technological advancement / adoption like Iran, Korea, Brazil, Russia, or Singapore would make more sense?

Those countries have far more conservative views on gender roles, among ordinary people, than the US. I don’t think there’s a single country in Asia or Africa where the median view on gender roles wouldn’t be to the right of your median American Republican.

> But that is a digression. There are certainly many places with less progressive than the US, though I am not sure how strong the average backlash is across places that are closer to the US in terms of technological adoption.

“Progressive” American views on gender would be outside the Overton window in most of the world. There is no “backlash” because there is no meaningful effort to mainstream progressive ideas on gender. There is nothing to react to.

I’m really not sure what you are trying to achieve by misrepresenting the social norms in those countries.
