Urgent Facebook Help Please:(
I am hoping there may be somebody who can give me some advice please - my Facebook has been hacked & I have 3 days left to find a resolution before my account is permanently disabled! I have so many memories & friendships on this account which are irreplaceable..

I was hacked through an old email address attached to my FB account through an expired domain.

I was on my email as it was happening - I could see notifications of my password being changed & suddenly I was locked out as they posted illegal content.

The hackers placed ads which were charged through my PayPal account which fortunately I was able to stop. I was able to regain ownership of my account through a lengthy process of providing my ID.

I am now however stuck! I have tried everything & on 4 August I received notification from Facebook that I ‘only have 8 days left to take action’ before my account is permanently disabled as I did not finish the steps to disagree with their recent decision to suspend my account.

However.. when I attempt to access my account it tells me ‘Review Requested’ If we find that your posts of comments didn’t follow our Community Standards, your account will remain disabled.

I really don’t know what else to do & would be so grateful for any advice?

With much thanks!

It's only later they realize it was the mistakes they made along the way that led to real knowledge, not the technical stuff.

If you're able to get the answer, it's correct, so no need to quote anything. Could be a hard-coded loc key.
So long as the juror isn't a complete moron, it won't happen. To get to the point where a juror is convicted of perjury, you need one of the other jurors to turn them in to the judge. Something that can pretty much only happen at the end of the trial (since the jurors are barred from speaking to anyone about the case.)

In the first table, in the first row (11th Gen), the professional column is missing the core count. It currently says "(Up to 4.8 GHz, Cores)" and by https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/208664/... it should be "(Up to 4.8 GHz, 4 Cores)".
What I take from that was the interesting point that you can take a principled approach about what "correct colour perception" means. But there's no such stable basis for deciding that with olfaction given that it seems like an ad-hoc jumble of molecules to sense and there's such a wide and, seemingly random, variety of gene variants in the gene pool.

The reason they ask you questions like whether or not you would be able to find someone guilty if you knew they might get sentenced to death isn't because they want to put you in jail overnight. They just don't want you on the jury.

I also wonder how many HN readers would be allowed on a jury?

I don't know, but I was selected for a jury once. That said, I did not make any particular effort to get out of serving. I answered the voir dire questions honestly, but didn't go out of my way to volunteer something just because I thought it might get me out of jury duty. For example, I didn't say "I'm a radical Libertarian who considers the State invalid in principle and strongly supports jury nullification." Had I been asked "are you a radical Libertarian who ..." I would have answered "yes", but it never came up. So I tried to be honest and neutral, and in the end they picked me.

The moral of this story? I'm not sure. I will say this though: I learned a lot from the experience. Hopefully I'm never on trial for anything, but if I ever am, I believe my jury experience might actually be helpful to me.

The problem with effective altruism is that it is devoid from reality:

- no country was ever made wealthy by just giving them things. Wealth comes from passing through the difficult stages of development oneself

- you personally should do the good things you want to do in the world rather than just donating money for someone else to do it on your behalf

- Peter Singer uses the word "should" too much, and it's almost offensive. His philosophy is an empty philosophy pushed through by people who believe we are no different to apes. The older religions do this all much more justice in a far more thoughtful way.
Think about web browsers. We're not really that worried about people running malicious web browsers. It's potentially a problem, but as long as people know not to run software that some random spammer sends them in an email then it's easy to avoid.

On the other hand what computer security people worry about a lot is that the web browsers made by reputable organizations and teams of competent programmers nevertheless contain security flaws that can be exploited by a maliciously-written website to cause those browsers to do unexpected and dangerous things.

Many of those security flaws in otherwise well-regarded software are due to memory management errors that just aren't present in safer languages, or they're due to type errors that wouldn't be present in more type-safe languages.

There are some implementation bugs that could be present in any language no matter how many safety features it has, but many security bugs aren't due to, say, an incorrectly specified algorithm, they're due to the programmer asking the computer to do something that's literally nonsense, like asking for the fourth element of a list that only has three elements, or recording that someone's age is apricot. Programming languages with powerful nonsense filters can remove a lot of those kinds of security bugs. (And powerful type systems often give programmers mechanisms to tell the compiler more about the program so that it can filter out more kinds of nonsense than it would otherwise.)

For everything:

International remittance: no need to go the bank. Just send the USDC/DAI/RAI from my hardware wallet.

Community treasuries: if me and a few other people in an online community want to create a jointly controlled fund, we can easily do that by creating a DAO, complete with a multisignature wallet. This doesn't require us to live in the same country, to register a corporation or a corporate controlled bank account, or reveal our real identities to each other. It makes casual financial collaboration orders of magnitude easier.

Registration-free electronic cash payments. If I have a MetaMask browser wallet, and layer 2s finally solve the problem of extremely constrained Ethereum scalability, I'll be able to visit a website and when I encounter a paywall, I'll be able to pay $0.01 to read the article, instead of having to choose between buying a subscription or simply not reading the article (more likely). This is the kind of casual transaction between parties without an existing relationship that becomes far more practical with a well-developed cryptocurrency sector.

Cryptocurrency becomes better than traditional finance for a significant fraction of payment applications if when scalability and privacy is solved. Relevant:

You'll find yourself on the business end of a "constructive possession" or "readily convertible" style regulatory situation, the only variable is how long it takes until cases are frequent enough for the Feds to look your way. If you're American, you could run into trouble for operating an unlicensed money transmitter, accessible by individuals on the OFAC list, which as soon as OFAC became aware of going on, gets you on the list til you can prove you have process in place to not do that. Hell, they'll probably crank out a static analysis tool for smart contracts matching and or similar to what they've sanctioned, do some digging on the hits to determine if it is structurally equivalent, then on the list it goes.

We're talking OFAC here. The executive is tasked with full discretion to regulate how foreign entities interact with money transmitters operating under the jurisdiction of the United States. They don't have to prove squat. You have to prove to them you are legit.

Whatever evidence was presented, it’s damning, based on a the approval chain to execute such a search (DOJ + a federal judge). Most likely it was the National Archives. Federal law bars the removal of classified documents to unauthorized locations.
Eh, not really.

Rule 606 of the Federal Rules of Evidence prohibits a juror from testifying “about any statement made or incident that occurred during the jury’s deliberations; the effect of anything on that juror’s or another juror’s vote; or any juror’s mental processes concerning the verdict or indictment.” [0]

Without testimony, how would you make the case for perjury? You can’t force the juror to incriminate themself, nor can you ask the other jurors to incriminate them. There’s no functional way to distinguish between nullification and a deliberated no vote.

I don't doubt those benefits are real, but I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Book with Intel 12th gen and integrated graphics, and it is actually fantastic. Super thin, lightweight, silent, and low heat, while still boasting 12 extremely fast cores. And it was very affordable. It is very weird for me to buy a laptop where I have almost no complaints... and Samsung did a splendid job with all the fit and finish. I'm sure a lot of it is in fact thanks to the non-CPU upgrades like DDR5, since CPU is rarely the bottleneck, but it is all the same to me.

This to me sounds like the experience people were praising the M1 chips for, and tbh Intel actually delivered for once. I say this as someone who had been solidly in the AMD camp for a long time. Thanks to competition, Intel now has to be good. Weird!
> Juries are generally charged with determining matters of fact; the judge matters of law.

I've always found this deeply troubling. If the law isn't clear enough for 12 jurors to determine if an act was legal, then how is it possibly just to hold the accused liable transgressing it?

I don't see much practical difference between this and ex-post facto laws. In both cases, a person can be convicted for an act that wasn't obviously illegal at the time.
But Reddit’s #1 search engine is Google!

Even that won’t work because jurors aren’t allowed to testify about their deliberations (with a few irrelevant exceptions).
Yes, most of the flaws in the US law system allow guilty people to go unpunished.

This was an intentional choice, to err on the side of assuming innocence rather than guilt.
I wasn’t trying to get out jury duty, but knowing my juror rights had me excused.

When the lawyers went around the room asking questions, one of the questions was something along the lines of “will you uphold the law as the judge describes it”. 40 odd people leading up to me all said yes, and then I said “maybe”.

I was asked to step outside to discuss my answer. I pretty much said “I know my rights as a juror and if a law is unjust it’s my duty to say so”. They said I could go home after that.

"Eschew flamebait. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents."

Generic tangents are much less interesting than specific responses to an article (or specific tangents!) because the more generic a claim, the more that (1) there is less that is meaningful to be said about it, and (2) the more repetitive it is. That's a really bad combo for a site that's trying to be good for curiosity.

I'm relatively actively involved in EA and I don't think anyone believes just giving people things will make a whole society wealthy, nor is it practical. For certain cases like Givedirectly (direct cash transfers) the question is more about efficacy of aid. If I think of what EA really stands for, it's about doing things that are maximally effective based on a rationale view of your aims. You can question lots about the assumptions people make to get to the end goal (I personally think they prioritize too much aid vs. helping with foundations of economic development) but I don't think the first two points you make match with my experience of EA in practice. On your second point, I don't agree at all. Should you do as much as you personally can? Sure. But if you're a multi-millionaire and you want to feed people, you really are telling me it's necessary that that person hands out each piece of food for it to be moral? That doesn't make sense to me at all.
It's not a matter of determining the law; more often than not it's determining who is lying.

Sometimes this is relatively easy ("you left blood with your DNA at the scene") and sometimes hard (you have 3 eyewitnesses, they have 7 people claiming an alibi).

You shouldn't be giving Zig (or C, for that matter) a free pass. If your language isn't memory safe, and it compiles to LLVM with the optimizations on, then it's inheriting most of the complexity of Rust's undefined behavior. (I say "most" because I suspect that Zig doesn't use attributes like noalias as much, but there is still a lot of complexity around, for instance, provenance that are orthogonal to those attributes.) It's LLVM, not the language frontend, that actually implements most of the memory model (via lowering to machine instructions).
How? You just keep it to yourself.
I only did laser too, for years, until I checked out the new high capacity ink jet printers. It’s pretty much just an ink jet that you pay full price for (over $300), and it has huge buckets each of CMYK. When they run out, you buy new ones in bottles the size of a small mustard container for under 20 bucks.

Now I get color on every page, and those wonderful, ink jet blacks I’ve been missing. And per page, it’s cheaper! Those laser cartridges are really expensive.

Sure, it’s slow per page, but I only print a page or two at a time.

Oh, and you refill the ink, not replace the cartridge. So if the printer company ever decides to charge $100 for a refill, sourcing it somewhere else should be trivial.

In the US, judges can overturn jury verdicts. That will be appealed to a higher court (which means they need a REALLY good reason to do it).

The most common place for this to happen is in civil court. A jury can come back with "11ty billion dollars" and the judge can decide "Ok, they got a little overzealous with that, $100".
