I've been doing this for about two decades, and I've had to block a fair few addresses for spam over that time.

In almost all cases with companies of any significant size/reputation it was entities that either publicly admitted or were publicly called out as having been hacked – so incompetence or the bad luck rather than deliberately selling my details on.

In a few of cases (a couple of hosting providers, a physical-store electronics retailer) it has been a business that had failed before the spam started, so presumably their contacts were sold as an asset as part of the winding down.

I give different addresses to any online forum too — they have seen a much higher rate of addresses needing to be dropped due to spam.

If you use a catch-all address rather than setting up each alias individually then you may get “dictionary” attacks at some point. Early on when I used <varies-by-company-or-other>@domain.tld I saw that a few times, with someone sending to alan@, alana@, alvin@, … Since moving over to <varies-by-company-or-other>@sub.domain.tld (where “sub” is a static sub domain operating as catch-all, with only a whitelist of addresses on the main domain now accepted) I've not seen this again. I don't know if that is because name dictionary attacks like that are simply rare, are not attempted on more complex addresses, or never really worked so spammers don't use the technique at all any more.

Where an address ends in a number, I've seen guesses that increment that number – so as well as getting junk to somecompany2@sub.domain.tld I get junk to somecompany3@sub.domain.tld and so on. I assume this is an address farmer bulking out their database.

One place where passing on of your email address seems rife is kickstarter and indigogo projects. I'm on several mailing lists I've never subscribed to on those addresses, and another appears every couple of months — I don't know if it is the projects themselves or the survey management third parties that are to blame, I suppose I could test that by cycling the address but I'm not been bothered enough to make that effort. I have messages from those lists auto-filed into a folder, and if I'm tempted to support a project I search that folder first – if they have been carried by one of the spammy mailing lists I won't be giving them any of my money. I've saved money on three projects thus far with this. A petty victory perhaps, but I like my petty little victories!

Thank you for these two links. And for, in a sense, confirming me: maps shown in those entries of "duchy/kingdom of Croatia" depict a territory of most of Dalmatia, parts of western Herzegovina and Bosnia. That is it!

Istria, Slavonia, today's capital Zagreb (Agram on the map) and everything north of it is not part of that duchy/kingdom. According to the entries you have posted. Do you suggest that these regions they are actually not croatian?
Ctrl-r tsc will also work, and give you the ability to refine and run the command directly.
Scaling is definitely why this hasn't been done before — it is hard! Recent research in private information retrieval shows that we can do it for 1 million people (see e.g. https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi21/presentation/ahmad and https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~dwu4/spiral.html). All of the recent advances still scale as n^2 with the number of users, which becomes prohibitive after 1 million people, but we are working on a paper that shows how we can scale subquadratically (n^{1+1/k}*c^k for a fixed c and any k). With an n^1.33 scheme, 1 billion people suddenly becomes feasible.

i forked and modernized a platform that was built by a university to create collaborative spaces. i added a REST API and use it for modern webdevelopment.

i tried marketing it, but i could not get developers interested because it effectively eliminates the need to do any backend development. most websites are CRUD and don't need a custom backend. this platform has it all. i haven't done any backend development on my own websites for years now for the same reason.

i'd love to get more people to use this, but where are developers that prefer frontend work over backend work?
It's just a bunch of regex, nothing too sophisticated. Generally the people making listings are trying to convey all the data, so in a sense it's semi-structured. The most limiting factor is getting a CPU model; I'd like to eventually build up a taxonomy of major device brands/models to map to their specs (I do have this currently for Apple, which many people post year or A-model numbers for).
> Who will develop new insulins under this model?

Same folks that historically develop most drugs and health advances, academic and national research labs.

These kinds of questions always have this undercurrent that capitalism+pharmaco is the answer to everything. I am not going to litter this with hedges, but to prescribe that solutions need to be solved a certain way is manipulative.

BPA-free thermal paper is available and some chains have switched. For example:
Costco warehouses in the U.S. and Canada have changed their receipt paper so that it is phenol-free. This means it does not contain Bisphenol A (BPA) and Bisphenol S (BPS), which have been linked to human health concerns. - https://www.costco.com/sustainability-chemical-management.ht...
Those quotes are twists on solving specific pain points, which is a generally accepted way to build things.

What is interesting to me, is that you didn't copy the last one:

> Another great example is Will Cannon’s Uplead ($8M in yearly revenue). His whole business idea was to copy ZoomInfo but make it more affordable.

All they did was copy an existing business model and undercut on price, which is generally a race to zero and rarely works.

I've heard and even used it a couple of times, but it's not very common anymore.
I was in your shoes a year ago! I'm reading at about an N4 level now, and have some very basic speaking ability.

It's daunting, but many people have done it. The key for me was having lots of different resources to learn from. I've found that everything teaches things a little bit differently, and everything skips something that another resource doesn't. Some explanations make more sense than others for certain facets. And of course, the repetition is good (and required).

I'd recommend:

- Write down your goals for what you want to do. Do you want to converse with other Japanese speakers? Write the language? Do you want to read Japanese? Be able to visit the country and communicate? Watch anime without subs/dubs? How you answer these questions will shape the resources you focus your time on. To build a regular habit of studying, you want to feel you're making steady progress towards a goal that you're passionate about.

- Learn hiragana/katakana. You'll not be able to make progress without this. I used a combination of this YouTube video [1] along with the "Japanese!" hiragana/katakana iOS app.

- If you want to read the language, start studying a Kanji deck.

- If you want to speak/listen in JP, start an audio course such an Pimsleur.

- Make your way through Minna no nihongo and/or Genki I.

- Google around for Japanese graded readers for beginners, to practice reading "real" content that has been synthetically simplified.

- Start reading community posts in Japanese language learning communities, and see what resources are being shared around and how people are studying. You'll naturally find a good fit, eventually.

I do do things myself until either A) the likelihood and costs of me screwing it up and having to do it over cross some threshold B) the time commitment seems unreasonable or C) it really doesn't interest me. Edit: or D) I'm convinced they could do a significantly better job than me

Like sometimes I pay somebody to clean and fold all of my laundry or to deep clean parts of my home because getting those things out of the way and freeing up a chunk of my time without that overhead is quite helpful when I've got too much going on. Similarly sometimes I pay to get the oil changed in my car. Not buying the service really, but buying the time that it saves me.
So what happens when the alarm goes off? Hope it’s a fire and the device gets burned down?
Let's consider a few things:

1) Just because it hasn't happened to you, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I have quite a few examples of companies selling or otherwise sharing, whether intentionally or through compromise, my email addresses.

2) If someone (some company) is going to sell email addresses, it's not unreasonable to imagine that they'd want to remove any addresses that would directly link those addresses to their source, so a quick search to remove any address with the word "adobe" in it when selling Adobe mailing lists would not be unexpected in the least.

Years ago I set out to learn more about the "missing sock" problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_sock). I bought a dozen pair of brand new socks and I ironed on labels identifying each and every sock. Guess what? The labeled socks never went missing. The act of labeling the socks dramatically affected the experiment.

Perhaps using companies' names in our email addresses is affecting our results.
> Why does none of this make sense?

Probably because you took the time posting that you might otherwise have taken thinking. I suggest trying it the other way.
I just saw a thing on social media that if you require 9-10 hours of sleep to function, you probably have sleep apnea.

That's been my case since childhood but I only found out a couple of years ago that I have mild sleep apnea. I was fitted for an ALF appliance and did myofunctional therapy and mostly corrected it. Now I sleep with tape over my mouth, which lets me wake up feeling mostly normal instead of hungover:

http://sleepapneatherapist.com/mouth-tape-sleep/

The only difference is that I use 2 pieces of 1/4" wide ordinary surgical tape in a X shape so that the outer lips are held closed instead of the center. This is for aesthetics, to keep the upper lip from stretching over time, which can lead to unpredictable levels of homeliness :-/

Hopefully this helps someone get enough energy to get themselves checked out.

Edit: also, the tape is short enough that it's easy to open your mouth and rip the tape off in the middle of the night to breathe. The tape is more of a hint to the body to get used to sleeping with the mouth closed.

AFAIK There are no UTF-8 specific interfaces on windows, only the system codepage (A) and Wide character (W) interfaces. Configuring the system codepage to be utf-8 is possible, but doesn't solve all encoding problems in my experience. To get the commandline without mangling you have to use the wide character function.

Plus, you don't need to be prepared to handle invalid utf-8 in filenames on unix, the fopen call can just be made to fail if needed.
I could make the connections myself but I am still going to hire that part out. Run the wiring myself but let them do a final check over and connect to grid. In FL I believe you need to spend 4 years working to get an electricians license. If it was just a written test I would do it!
> moved domains to the local registrar in my country

can you explain what you mean by this? how do you find the "local registrar" for a company, what does that even mean?
People used to say they wanted a phone that just did the basics - calling, SMS. The thing is... are those the basics now? I almost never make phone calls and I think I've literally never sent an SMS on my current phone. The basics now are the apps - Signal, WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram DMs, etc. I think that's typical for most people?

Do you have an examples of things you've felt compelled to update? Electron does have a lot of reported vulnerabilities, but are you sure those vulnerabilities actually impact your product? Usually properly sandboxing and isolating main / render contexts goes a long way in preventing those vulnerabilities from being exploited. One approach may be to attempt to triage the vulnerable dependencies rather than update them immediately?
It doesn't speak to loneliness, but according to this Pew report, there is a substantial gap in single-ness by gender in the 18-29 group [1]. 32% of women versus 51% of men. Women in that cohort are slightly more likely to not be looking, but it's close (6% more women are not looking than men).

I think single-ness has increased for both genders, but not at the same rate, and I have no idea what causes that. I can think of a few things that might cause it, but it would require extraordinarily fast demographic shifts that seem unlikely. I.e. it could be increases in polyamorous or LGBTQ women, or differences in birth rates or immigration by gender, but those have historically been small demographics. They would have to grow by something like an order of magnitude to have an effect this large.

It's weird. If anyone has seen any actual studies on how that effect happens, I'd be curious to read them, because it doesn't really make sense to me.

It seems like private family owned companies are the way to go when you want something with decent quality that will last.
"If your point #2 was true at ALL there would have to have been millions hospitalized from the vaccine… and we all know that’s not true."

We actually have no idea how many people have become sick because of the vaccine because the medical system refuses to record vaccine injuries properly.

But, consider the US reporting system. Most reports come from medical providers not individuals. There are in fact about 175,000 COVID vaccine hospitalizations reported and the underreporting factor for VAERS and similar systems is usually measured at ~40x, so that would indeed be millions.

You might think that sounds obviously wrong but it doesn't to me. I don't have an unusually large social circle and I know people who went to the hospital for specialist checkups due to vaccine injuries, and I have one close friend who really should have gone but didn't (he had a heart attack but fortunately it wasn't fatal and he seems OK now). Millions of people with hospital-visit-worthy injuries is well within the bounds of what seems possible in a big country like the USA, let alone globally.

The demo gives you most of the features with one large limitation - you can only create one "spatial anchor" meaning you can only scan one room to place AR content in. The full version allows for creating dozens of these anchors to be able to spatially anchor AR content to every inch of a large facility.
The v1.3 model weighs in at 4.3 GB. There's an additional download of 1.6 GB of other models due to usage of huggingface's transformers (only once on startup). And the conda env takes another 6 GBs due to pytorch and cuda.

Larger images will require (much) more than 5.1 GB. In my case, a target resolution of 768x384 (landscape) with a batch size of 1 will max out my 12GB card, an RTX3080Ti.

Between your book and your course on your website, I must say I'm pretty disappointed that no prices are listed anywhere unless you go to a stripe checkout page.
What's stopping websites from just removing '+company' from 'username+company@gmail.com' and emailing you at 'username@gmail.com'?

Even if the website you provide it to doesn't do that. Anyone who buys it can.

I'm guessing the answer is, "Most companies are too lazy", but that seems like a weak behavior to depend on.
No, it's not oddly pedantic. It's more an expression of anger, because this sort of argument is common among SETI people. It's a very common error: there's lots of opportunities for life to arise, therefore life must be common in the universe. And this is utter bullshit. Probability does not work that way!
When Burroughs started experimenting with stack processors in their B5000 computer, they didn't do it for code size but the ability to use high level languages first, going as far as to hide assembly language to the user. Compilers are fairly straightforward to write on such an architecture, and can produce reasonably fast machine code in one pass.
A register based CPU make this quite more complex, and is indeed a more performant but less elegant approach than a stack based CPU.

This later inspired HP for the HP 3000 and then its RPN calculators, as well as other, lesser known machines. Nowadays I think I've only seen this with the JVM (to reduce the IL size) and a couple MCUs.
But Muir's invention was meant for himself, while Gillette's razor was clearly not meant for himself. Or was he shaving his neck? So I see these as two different kinds of inventors. Randal Peltzer in Gremlins is more like Muir.
It’s safe to assume that when it happens to poor people, nobody cares. Because nobody cares about poor people in general. I don’t think race has anything to do with it other than certain races are over-represented in low income brackets, so it’s going to happen to them more.
We have no plan for them... we read them, we put them on the shelf, we may reread them or loan them out but otherwise they live on the shelf. We do protect them from sun and moisture, but that's easy enough in the UK.

I got a couple of quotes for an installation in late 2019, balked, and tried to install and permit the panels myself. I'd never tried a "physical side project" or home-improvement project, but I found it surprisingly straight-forward.

I got a copy of my friend's permit application from a professional installation, learned a bit about the equipment and tools needed, started a spreadsheet of parts, and modified my "permit template" with details about my installation and house. My permit application was stamped on my first try (Manhattan Beach in LA County), so I placed my order.

It was a little tricky to get all my supplies on the roof of my two-story house. I settled on carrying things up the stairs, putting them on a balcony, and pulling them up a ramp I built out of some cheap wood. See pics here [1].

I probably went overboard on quality of parts to compensate for inexperience and not knowing which corners it's OK to cut, but my final cost ended up at $1.64/watt, including about $1000 for my electrician to pull some copper, ground everything, and connect to my panel.

> Don't lose sight of the fact that the purpose of this and other TPM-like devices is to hide secrets from its owner.

That's a complete misunderstanding of a TPM's security model. A TPM guards against key theft in a compromised environment by securely storing artifacts and authenticating the platform. The user doesn't enter this threat picture. It is the platform that gets authenticated, not the user.
There is a possibility this could be ADD.
Hm, yup. Looks like I hit reply on the wrong comment.
This is a really common but really naive take. People who have actually tried to publish papers that make vaccines look bad, don't get famous or praised. Their work is sunk immediately because it never gets published at all.

This has led to the strange phenomenon in which all vaccine papers praise vaccines and say everyone should take them in the abstract, even if the data the paper reports shows clearly that there is a big problem. You just can't get published without a statement of ideological loyalty at the start.
For some books, the title is so good, it's worth the shelf space just for that. The one that's on my shelf that fits this theme is "The Journey is The Reward", on Steve Jobs' journey.

It depends on the embodied carbon of the panels and the time for it to be less than the local power plant.

(There's also the actual wasted panels, and raw materials, but let's face it, that's rounding error vs five years of household waste. Also, the replacement will probably be better on those fronts.)

That's silly - this isn't Ruby. It's a new language still under development and thus will have its own syntax. Obviously any language will be unreadable if you don't understand its grammar (syntax). Readability is tied to the syntax of a programming language. (And Ruby is great example of this - I am used to Python and I found reading Ruby code to be very cumbersome because of its weird syntax, which I didn't bother to learn). This a C / C++ / D like language.
