Looks like I was wrong: the "dólar turista" is 75% higher than the "dólar oficial" that you get paid if you export something, AR$226/US$ rather than AR$130/US$ (but still much lower than the AR$321 of the black market). I haven't been able to figure out what the limit is or who is allowed to buy it. Maybe you can: https://www.cronista.com/finanzas-mercados/dolar-turista-asi...

Confusing the issue is that the same "dólar turista" term is also being used to describe a new exemption from the foreign exchange restrictions that allows banks to purchase dollars from non-Argentine tourists visiting Argentina at the "dólar MEP" rate, which is actually currently higher than the black-market rate, at AR$323. Up to US$5000 per tourist per month.
> The elderly are already allowed to defer taxes to when their estate is settled

Is this a Texas-specific thing? If it is, I really think more states ought to roll it out, though it would increase complexity for the state who (I assume) becomes partial owners on the title of the home homeowners begin deferring their taxes.
Really? Were you rejected from interviews because you had FB on your resume?
Steering an airplane is a fun one - you the pilot want to set the compass direction of the plane. The derivative of that is the rate of turn, corresponding to bank angle. But what the yoke / stick actually controls is the derivative of that, the bank angle rate / roll speed.

So pilots have to sort of double-integrate to set their heading.

Pipewire does not solve that unless your app uses their API. For 99% off apps (100% of VoIP?) you still get the same old latency until you go tuning configs. Pipewire is also not enabled on any LTS.

Pharma and rich greedy doctors are an easy target, but reality is (always) more complicated.

Pyridoxine/doxylamine is nothing new, and was released in the USA in the fifties, and withdrawn from the market in the early eighties due to numerous (baseless) lawsuit alleging it caused birth defects. This formulation is known as Diclectin in Canada, where there were no lawsuits (and thus, no withdrawal), and it costs pennies.

The medication was reintroduced in the USA about 10 years ago as Diclegis by another manufacturer, and Bonjesta is essentially Dicglesis with improved pharmacokinetics (whether this matters clinically is another question).

It is interesting to note that Bonjesta is produced by Duchesnay USA, which is owned by the Canadian company Duchesnay, which markets Diclectin here in Canada. I suspect that no American company is willing to risk a lawsuit *even* at the current seemingly absurdly high pricing. Duchesnay USA is essentially a mono-pill company, and I imagine that the strategy is that they're willing to go under in case of a class action.
ClickHouse is great. Been using it without any major issues.

We started experiencing some issues with data duplication with ClickHouse when we moved our table to a Sharded+Replicated setup.

Optimize with DEDUPLICATE helped us a lot.. and we can just run this on a Partition instead of the full table.

ClickHouse is a very powerful system but it's not just setup and forget type.

Ask HN: Is this email from Apple legit?
I received this very weird email from Apple saying that my banking information is invalid.

I do in fact have an App Store developer account, but this email talks about "iTunes Connect", which I thought doesn't exist any more...

Furthermore, the email is from "The Apple Music Team". Why on earth would they be emailing me about my banking information?

Everything about this email is just weird. My scam/phishing alarm bells went off immediately, but from what I can tell, it looks legit.

---

From: do_not_reply@email.apple.com
Subject: Correct your banking details to receive payments.

Dear X,

We’re reaching out because your banking information in iTunes Connect is invalid and needs to be corrected to ensure the successful payment of any amounts owed to you.

Users with the Admin, Legal, or Finance role can update these details in the Agreements, Tax, and Banking section in iTunes Connect. For help with making updates, visit iTunes Connect Resources and Help.

Once your banking information is corrected, it may take up to two payment cycles to send your payment. If you have any questions, contact us.

Best regards,

The Apple Music Team
But I never set up 2FA on my Apple account, security questions were meant to be used as an account recovery procedure if you lost access to your account email. THEY set it up as 2FA and as a result I can't log in. I have accounts on numerous website and this is the first time I'm completeoy lockout. I would gladly send my ID card to Apple but apparently this is not an option.

Strangely, this sort of thinking used to be "common knowledge" / "common sense" back before everyone started self-publishing every detail of their private lives on world-wide public forums like Facebook and Twitter…

Amusing side note; The "Grumpy Old Farts" back in the day where I grew up used to refer to "common sense" as "horse sense", and when asked why, they'd respond "Because every horse has it, even if every person don't!"

> I think it's pretty cut and dry to people who pay attention to what fuels a modern economy

That's a value judgementon your part which happens to agree with what passes for wisdom in the natsec press and that's literally my entire point. Justifying a government action as status quo opinion is how a status quo is maintained and how an entire class of journalism and foreign policy acts as if the world is its oyster and as if there is no alternative. This is literally the hypothesis of manufacturing consent.

I'm not sure what other conversations you've had but I'm not arguing the merits of some semiconductor protectionism. I'm arguing against the OPs shrug that we should uncritically accept this spending because it's an outflowing of the Democratic process.
I think the main thing about this for me was the guy was making a lot of examples with a very brief analysis, or synopsis of the situation. But that doesn't prove, or convince me, about the thesis that it's not about states trying to recover wealth through war. You can't go up against a book of well thought out arguments, and in-depth analyses with a couple of lightly summarized examples. That for me is the main point.

Samsung QVO SSDs aren't very cheap to justify its lower TBW, especially if you write much like that. There are many TLC drives with great TBW rating at similar price, like Seagate Firecuda. Some are DRAM-less but HMB is good enough for vs QLC drives.
Sounds reasonable. Personally, I just try to stay away from k8s until it becomes a requirement. Until then simplest tools are often a good choice for building systems that require less maintenance. That's a per-project decision though.

You do not need Ansible for VMs provisioning - you can bake a VM image that will pull repos and do other preparation stuff. HashiCorp Packer[1] is an good tool for this imo. This applies to bare metal, too, as you can bake ISO or IMG the same way. Stuff that differentiates those systems can be set up with cloud-init or something similar.

Regarding Ansible, it didn't changed much over the years. At least nothing really major like statefulness.

But again, I'm not opposite to using Ansible when a project reasonably calls for it. Proper tool for configuring multiple systems with details generated for/by other systems, say multi-cloud HA provisions, clustering etc.

No, but they aren't supporting as part of their network either. Their plans and actions are different things.
Also, just one more reason it's not wise to use SMS / phone number as your "second factor" in 2FA (two factor authentication). Always prefer a proper 2FA app or USB key type device over SMS. For a lotta these folks, these "hackers" (and whoever they sell the data to) now have enough information to steal these people's accounts (in many cases not just their Twitter accounts, either, but probably most of their accounts across multiple services).
What experience have you in this area? (genuine qtn)
It's interesting that FB/Meta has its massive ethical concerns laid out right out in front of everybody right now, which is something of an advantage for Zuckerberg due to his persistent shadow side which is performance-oriented. IMO he'll work hard to remedy the flaws for as long as he is connected to the public perception of his company. But he may try to do that in a kind of gaslighty way, through a version-bump of his company rather than through outright reconciliation. (It may work out without so much drama even, since I think he'd happily drop a creepy tracking-line of products if they aren't needed so much anymore; his heart is definitely more into tech than tracking as long as the bills are paid)

Apple, on the other hand, seems to be skating to wherever the puck they are going, which is quite different from Jobs' way, and reflects Tim Cook's personality now more firmly than ever.

Cook is a sustainer, much less an innovator than Jobs. Jobs' internal mantra was to never be caught dead predicting the future incorrectly, so he had to wrest control and create the future with all the energy he could summon. He also blew off just enough emotion to be seen as a wild stallion by the exact types of product designers you'd want supporting a mantra like that.

TC parks his emotions out back in a Compact spot and leads with business-countenance. His inner-world-controlling voice is more like an interplay of wild imagination with a staid focus on conservative business tradition.

This is not a company I would place future-tech-creating bets on, at the moment. It's more like a company I could see creating the future of sustainable employment, bringing back the gold watch, and so on--lots of ifs, but that's one example.

What a lot of people miss is that both Apple and FB are now run by depth-focused personalities. They are not going to strut as clearly as everyone is used to with the Musk & Jobs types. They are going to work behind the scenes and carry huge mental loads on their shoulders because they need to believe in their values. In the event I'd guess that Apple will be the tortoise, and Meta will be the hare, but I would also guess that it could be a very friendly rivalry. And the American economy also has a very conspicuous history of supporting both tortoise and hare.

Finally, Zuckerberg is THE technology voice in the competition, comparing the two leaders head-to-head. Tim Cook is a business voice but Zuckerberg is way more squarely in the tech circle by dint of his personality.

This means Zuckerberg will be able to speak directly to developers via approved techno-psychological means, i.e. the right words, right timing, right perspectives, to support technological goals.

If it comes to tech, Tim Cook's biggest problem will become one of delegation and innovation risk--and I would also add "device risk" where things tend to get boiled down to discrete device launches rather than built up as derivatives of overriding mental structures--while Meta more clearly brews those big-timeline, intuitively-structured ideas at home for now. Big difference there.

How are new cases effectively under treatment? They identified 150 decisions, wrote articles for each, and assigned half randomly to treatment or control. they did not consider newer cases beyond this set of 150. An RCT is a type of randomized experiment, but all determine causation:

Please tell me this means you can do dependent types! I have no idea how this works, seems like magic and seems like anything is possible.

As the sibling comment is saying, I never set up 2FA on my account. When I do, I'm using totp and store backup codes. Apple decided to force 2FA and use security questions as the second factor on my behalf.

On top of this, many companies provide customer support to reset 2FA with an other way to verify who you are.

sien: If you think this decision was wrong you can try to bring it up again, and point out the discussion in Wikiprojects or other community pages where a larger number of Wikipedia editors will see it. If you could only get 3–4 people interested enough to discuss and nobody could come up with an acceptable compromise, that’s not really the fault of the process. If you think these particular editors did something improper, you can escalate to further community processes designed for dealing with various abuses.

The nature of any large project is that people will disagree and not everyone will get precisely what they want.

The article also touches on that, at the time SUSE used KDE, and after they acquired Ximian they became more Gnome-friendly.

Even now KDE is one of the 3 default DEs, the others are Gnome and XFCE.

When there has been a continuous stream of “bigot master plots” it understandably becomes hard to distinguish conspiracy from conscientious intent.

If you look at the current situation without any of the prior historical context it does bring up the question of how does law enforcement deal with this situation because their historical actions have led to a catch 22 situation where action or inaction is vilified. Maybe a coordinated and public attempt at cleaning up the police force that goes hand in hand with a nationwide, simultaneous move to clean up the hood?

Thank you, I appreciate the behind-the-scenes context here. Unity ran well on my low-spec low-res hardware that choked on Gnome Shell almost instantly. It was great for making full use of a small screen and hand-me-down computer; meanwhile Gnome was throwing blank space and memory around like they were nothing. My impression at the time was that Unity was designed to be able to run on embedded devices and netbooks while Gnome was expecting a fairly new desktop or laptop.
