Business IG Account Hacked
Hi fam!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.

A friend of mine has a business which he advertises through his instagram account.

@_sunnybaymiami_

This IG account has been hacked: The hacker got access to the account, changed account email and password and added a two factor authentication option. There is no way to access the account now and he has not been able to contact any IG support. IGs recovery flow asks for the 2FA code, which we can’t possible access since it was the hacker who set it up.

He is really desperate, even offering a reward to whoever can help him.

Any ideas or help you might think of? It would be really appreciated.
I think it would be better if there were the expectation of published change logs.
Ooooo a choose your own ending where if you only happen to have watched it between february and march it makes sense?

No thanks.
I assume there's still a big difference between big companies that have a monorepo and extremely centralized and vertical build infrastructure, and the ones that don't, especially if they're very siloed. From what I see from friends at Apple for instance, starting a project in an uncommon language is not a problem at all for most teams.
We'll never know. That's for future generations to decide!
Going from C++ to Rust is pretty much the easiest path, since most of the "hard" parts of Rust are just automating stuff you do by hand in C++ anyway. For other languages where people regularly get tripped up on "what's the stack vs the heap?" coming to Rust it's a bit of a different story, ime.

Talking about which object "owns" another that a pointer "outlives" what it points to are totally normal parlance for C++ developers and completely foreign to a lot of other folks.
It's close to where I live, and I have friends in Ukraine. So, it's probably fear and tribalism at the bottom of the stack, although I could also rant off a nice list of philosophic reasons for wanting to contribute. But yeah, probably just fear.
Is that why all the Tarantino movies are suddenly half as long as they used to be? /s
I did this but wired and everything worked fine. it just took awhile.
I've always given benefit of the doubt that the limited duration of S&Q modes in stills cameras is related to the max throughput of the recording media. 120+fps at 4K resolution starts demanding quite a bit of sustainable bandwidth. Shooting to SD cards might be a limitation and explains why the pro-video cameras have much more expensive record formats.
It's not that valuable since it can be easily rebutted with "you do now."
Indeed. But rapid advances in genetic therapies mean it may someday be possible to 'upgrade' a patient's existing marrow in-place, with just the necessary new genes.
I get nostalgic for some of the toys I had during the late 70s and 80s too, but really, I am super jealous, if that's the right word, of my kids for the toys available to them. Toys today are superior in nearly every way to toys from my childhood.

I would have KILLED for some of the robotics and electronics kits that are widespread today.
Surely anyone with a pirate bay copy from a few years ago could just diff the two videos to see what they changed?
I use this too but every other time I come back to it I have to really read through the docs to figure stuff out. That’s just me not writing very useful notes though -_-
Dude, look no further: AngelList is my go to for highly paid positions.

I often see small startups seeking CTOs there as well.

bank account != card

The bank account is linked to your agreement & contract, the card is a medium to access the account.
It is not on the card issuer's (Visa, Mastercard, etc) interest to constantly be generating new card #s, as each has a non-trivial cost (administratively).

It also makes things easy for the opposite case, Visa & Mastercard have an auto-updater program where if a card is replaced due to expiration, they auto-port subscriptions to the new card to avoid service disruptions. [This is not available everywhere, and depends on the merchant & payment processor, but it exists]
Just like taxes, companies don't pay or feel them, they either reduce expenses (example by paying their employees less) or increase revenue (example increase prices to consumers). In the end, consumers and employees are the ones suffering the punitive damages.

Yup, I did the same - except instead of pouring them into molds, I'd pour them into a cup of water, making "jewelry" as the lead solidified into droplet shapes.

Never got into home-made explosives, as I'd moved to Texas by the time I was ten; we did try to make napalm and hydrogen, but never too successfully.
The article does a good job of explaining why the list is small - and in my opinion quite useful in that regard. Agree that it would be interesting to know what perceived costs/benefits of various options considered were. I suspect accidents of history, before the need for a list like this was recognized, play a large part.
But someone has to decide which topics are political. That is a political decision. Which means there are still politics, regardless of what your policy says.

For example, I might say that calling me by my preferred pronouns isn't political, it's a matter of basic respect. Other people might think this is an act of political coercion, and report me to HR for violating the "no politics" policy. Resolving that dispute is a political act.

Moreover companies are political entities granted a charter by the state, and don't hesitate to have positions on political issues that directly affect their business.

So "no politics" doesn't mean "no politics" at all, it means (charitably) no discussion of politics beyond things the prevailing political consensus deems as apolitical, or (uncharitably) no discussion of anything that makes the dominant group uncomfortable.
On the "Use # to search" it's not clear how that searching is supposed to work.

I tried # and then a word from the title of the issue - that doesn't seem to do anything. I

I then realized the # is supposed to be followed by the repo name, which is a bit of an extra step. However, when I'm in the repo itself already, and in the board view, then it's an unnecessary step to add the repo name again, it should probably just start searching issues within the repo right away.

I suppose what I'm getting at is, the extra step to add the repo feels like a speedbump, and not intuitive to get right away (I was expecting to just start typing and Github figures out all my issues to suggest). Maybe it's going to take getting used to.
There have always been numerous “editions” in popular titles; theatrical, XYZ screen size, TV rebroadcasts, director’s cut, remastered, XYZ country, XYZ language, etc.
You're correct in your baseline of thinking. If you dig into the valuation portion of the article, I explore that a bit.

International growth, strong USD, usage rates increasing. Overall, it's volumes vs inflation. Volumes have been growing faster on a relative basis.

Certainly a long-term risk; just one of many.

For larger properties, a “Beware of Unexploded Land Mines” might work too. Or copy Vladimir the Impailer’s technique of using scarecrows impailed on stakes with the word “Thief” drawn on them.

Might scare the neighbors away too though, but that’s not always a bad thing.
FTC Files to Block Meta’s Virtual Reality Deal
Even if they save 60 million tons of carbon, they're sure to do it by making people less well-off than themselves even poorer - while flaunting the fact that the wealthy don't need to make any lifestyle changes to 'save the planet', it's another burden that'll be passed on to 'the poors'.
I'd also point at this big old list of media effected by 9/11[1] - I think the most notable one at the time was 2002 Spiderman which released a trailer containing the two towers initially that was then edited (along with the movie) to remove that landmark.

I'm not strictly taking notes any more.

I'm journaling/free-writing to get extended/detailed ideas down that I've had, which consists of a bunch of text files in a directory that sometimes end up combined in subdirectories, often refer to each other, and are frequently appended to/refined.

But the main thing I'm doing note-wise is that first I read a thing through once, trying to carefully understand, but not necessarily commit to memory, everything before I move on. Then I read through it a second time trying to phrase every fact I encounter as question-answer pairs that go into a spreadsheet to be imported into an Anki subdeck for that thing.

This works in a similar way live (like meetings and phone calls), but I'm taking notes with paper and pencil, and later extracting the facts from them for Anki.

Things of only temporary importance get lumped into an "ephemeral" subdeck, where cards get suspended/deleted with extreme prejudice.

I do an hour to an hour and a half of Anki every morning. Might sound like a lot, but half of it is Spanish, and at least 15-20 minutes of it is done while shitting, so it's not like I would have been doing something else.

If I don't get up to an hour/hour-and-a-half, I add new cards to review until I get there. I also add new cards to review at other times of the day if I'm bored and want to kill five minutes.

I've been told this is similar to the Cornell Method, but with a lot more review.

YMMV: I use something called low-key Anki where the only buttons used are "Again" and "Good."
If I publish a novel, and I identify a typo, is it "starting a dangerous trend" if I correct in the second printing?
Out of curiosity, would you be willing to share what’s making you wanting to departure?
calls it a "dangerous trend" - proceeds to provide the most mundane example imaginable, changing the date of an event to not be on a character's birthday

Just a complete nothing of an article. The follow-up claim is that it might sneakily start to happen in less popular series, such that nobody might even notice there had been changes. Oh, the humanity! Nobody might notice the tweaks, that sounds dangerous.
> Without post-secondary education in niche fields, this is becoming impossible. Especially across multiple services with changing terms, in countries with changing laws, in a world where technology evolution outpaces curriculum changes.

I agree, but again i go back to, "but how else can it work"?

Of course i don't expect everyone to be knowledgeable on all low level systems. However, to the point of your 85 year old grandma, she is a tiny demographic in a much larger, much more reasonably informed demographic who also completely ignore the implications.

Name a demographic that isn't wildly ignorant of things that are reasonable to know?

But again, i repeatedly fallback to "But who else can do this?". This is why i'm pro Government, but not until people start pushing for responsibility on this front. It may not be reasonable for your grandma to be responsible for Google Data stuff, but she _(and the rest of us)_ have sat around for dozens of years watching authority figures have little to no accountability or oversight.

The issue isn't about Google. The issue is about us, and our inability to build a government and authority system that is in-line with our views. We hand our power over with no thought or oversight and then we're shocked when it all comes back against us. This has nothing to do with Google or CS, imo.
Yes definitely! And also maybe add in a recording of some human yelling for dog to calm down and "don't go ripping apart another visitor!" :-)
I always assumed the expiration date on card was somewhat of a holdover from before online transaction verification was the norm. The bank would assuredly refuse to renew a card that was in default, so the user couldn't just keep using it at merchants that were still using paper slips.

Though a new account number is not quite as much of a big deal as it may seem. The issuers publish lists of old->new mappings, so that processors and merchants can update records, and some networks/issuers will accept reoccurring transactions on old numbers, as long as those were started before the number was issued.

It's kind of amazing what the issuers and networks will accept.

Notebook and pen. No app can beat it for long term notes. If you need to take photos of the pages and save those on a note taking app such as Evernote.
> What about company Y that you haven't even heard about that got the data from somewhere else, you wont call them.

You are correct obviously, the hope is that Y will no longer get the data from "somewhere" as every X will no longer share it, but this is a naive though of course.

> What about the complications about GDPR and trading/using products from overseas, seems like everyone is breaking the law, because there are so many laws.

This is somewhat intentional. The EU is speculating that, because they are such a huge markets, manufacturers will either produce a EU version of their products or produce one version that complies with GDPR as it is cheaper than maintaining two different versions.

And to be completely honest, my personal opinion on this matter is that they probably don't mind too much. If companies now need to use European suppliers/Service Providers and you can fine them for using external ones? Sounds like an easy way to boost your economy.
What's their tech stack?
Some days ago I did something similar, I'm using Googles Text To Speech to read Wikipedia and upload it to anchor.fm.

The hardest part was the wrapper for anchor.fm, because of course there is no public API documentation.

The Google API indeed is a bottle neck, because it's only free within a given limit.

In all of my years of experience, I haven't met a bigot who didn't know they were being bigoted and why it was bigoted. I have met so very many who when confronted with their bigotry fail very badly at claiming that they don't know. Instead of sticking to their guns they decide to become the world's worst improv actor - it's very easy to spot. Their whole idea is to become as slippery as possible with ignorance and it shows.

> At some point the kids realize dessert before dinner is a question we are safe to ask, so we are gonna ask it four times a week.

Good opportunity to teach the kids about boundaries and respect for your fellow human being:

“I am never going to allow dessert before dinner, because it is unhealthy and your well-being is important to me. The next time you ask me that you won’t get dessert before or after dinner. New questions are interesting, old questions are annoying. I don‘t like being annoyed and will incentivise you to be better.”

Or:

“Sure. Here’s an apple. Fruit is dessert. No, you cannot have ice cream because it is unhealthy and…”

Or:

“Why do you keep asking the same question when you know the answer will be negative? Do you not realise that is annoying? What would you do if someone annoyed you everyday?”
Problem with commute times, is that you can’t easily change your job to get one that is closer (compared to changing your gym / grocery store…).

Plus a lot of companies like to congregate together in sorts of business districts (I don’t really get why? Maybe those places are more attractive. Or maybe proximity helps foster business relationships). That makes it hard to get a low commute time unless you live in/close to one of those business districts
I don't know how this is for others, but in the environments I am in we use a different KMS key for our backups so that if something were to happen, like a mis-click in a web interface or an accidental terraform destroy, we can recover the data.

It is also stored in a different location than the original (different AWS account).
Just checked, couldn't find a setting for that. It never bothered me though, even if I never really use it.
That’s pretty cool. The dumbed down version of that for me is sourcing different zshrc files depending on the machine I’m using…which obviously wouldn’t work for anything else.
Don't want to rain on your parade but this is in no way a scientific A/B test. If I understand this correctly, Birdy periodically switches profile information b/n A and B.

* How do you make sure the same user who was on A variant yesterday doesn't get the B variant today?

If the same user gets both variants over different periods of time, how can you say treatment group engaged more with your content. People shuffle in and out of the treatment group periodically. Thoughts?
Right, exactly. Google could have this and make it perfectly accountable. Just surface a user notification that X entity accessed your camera's data for Y time range, ideally with a reference to a case number. People will push back if the police abuse their power. They won't become as complacent, because they'll know when the cops are spying.

But would they actually do it?
> This is a good example of why archeologists shouldn't be believed.

Sometimes, a spade is a spade. What I responded to isn't just a shallow dismissal of the article, it's a shallow dismissal of an entire field of study based on a malicious interpretation of an article's title. That's anti-science.
Is there anything more ironic than the fact that this article was corrected?

Pets also feature strongly in the late game. Two of the best items in the game are a scroll of taming (converts nearby monsters to pets) and a magic whistle (summons your pets). Eventually there's no point in fighting yourself; blow your whistle and let your pet dragon army clear the room.

But yeah, I have one that creates a datestamped note, but it's not super useful if you're not already in the app.
I’m surprised they said Rust is their new language of choice for CLI tools. I’m no expert but always saw Go as the better choice for CLI tooling where performance is important, Rust more of a low level language for highly performant libraries and tools, and Python a good choice for scripting or plumbing that needs to work and be easily maintainable, without special performance concerns (Python is my primary language, I’ve only dabbled in Go and Rust).
They have changed the algo. Several pro photographers and photograph artists have confirmed this.
Internal Chinese politics and international relations drive this behavior. They don't give a shit about the opinions of random foreigners.
Can you please elaborate on this more? What are the major differences between SLS and SpaceX?
> ...well, yes, of course they do. But they would also strongly deny the story if they thought it was untrue.

Then why would block any investigation from outside the Chinese government? If anything, if the Lab Leak theory is provable false, they should be inviting outsiders to investigate and waste their political capital/time/energy. If your advisories want to spin their wheels on something that is not true, then let them.

> So if they don't react negatively and deny something, then the story is... false? That doesn't make any sense.

When it comes to the Chinese government and information, surprisingly as it sounds, yes. If the Lab Leak story was not true, the Chinese government would not even react to it. They might even entertain it as part of their information ops strategy since the Lab Leak theory is a plausible theory.

If you think about it, how does the Wet Market theory make China look better than the Lab Leak theory? It really doesn't. If serious pandemics are coming out of Wet Markets, then why does China still allow Wet Markets to exist? At least with lab safety, labs can be improved and managed better while Wet Markets are just ticking pandemic timebombs.

What does it mean to "launch Street View"? Some street view imagery has been available for several years in some areas. E.g. Hitec City in Hyderabad.

Are they trying to say that now it will become a formal effort to send cameras down every street in every city?

Oh yeah, the current situation is highly abnormal.

> Using the figures from the Price Edict of Diocletian, we tend to estimate that river transport was five times cheaper than land transport, and sea-transport was twenty times cheaper than land transport.

(Not sure if that river transport of bulk grains was mostly by boats or by barges pulled by pack animals ?)

In fact, Rome itself not only got started as a cross-roads/waterways/seaways (large enough river for big sea ships to go up) for people to gather and trade, it could never have reached its ancient size of 0.5-1 M people without sea shipping !
I have never understood what the central point of the Gaia hypothesis is. Wikipedia summarizes as:

“… living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating, complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet.”

How should we understand something like the Great Oxygenation Event in the light of this theory? The planet became somewhat uninhabitable for many organisms of that era, but it also unlocked a whole new generation of oxygen-using organisms. Is that supposed to be an example of perpetuating conditions for life on the planet?

Life, and its environment, affect each other in a complex two-way flow of influence. Yes, OK, that seems evident, but what about this is self-regulating? Surely the history of the planet is replete with mass extinctions and changing conditions that really don’t seem to be part of any greater system than natural selection and the buildup/drawdown of biogenic minerals.

Where is the homeostasis? Everything is changing, all the time.

What does the theory allow us to predict?
This only means that the author is a bit of a hypocrite. If you say that something is a last resort, and your primary exemplar of its use is something trivial and common (the word "gay"), then that belies the fact that you just said that it was a last resort.
