Features are insights obtained from metadata coming from mobile phones and web behaviours. While metadata is the raw data, Features are generated by analysing smartphone digital footprints (Android, iOS) and web application form behaviours of customers. Credolab's newest product is the perfect tool for getting to know customers in-depth, building very granular personas, and adding more real-time insights to prevent risky and fraudulent applications.

There is a relationship between data collection and features. Features exist because credolab feeds them to its machine learning algorithms. These analyse huge amounts of data and are used to build non-linear models capable of predicting human behaviour. That is why traditional market research or traditional credit scoring methods are not able to achieve the same results because they don’t have the technology to collect and process this wide variety of valuable data needed to discover untapped insights.

Credolab offers different types of features depending on the use case and the level of sophistication of a data analytics team: 1) basic features, perfect for enriching existing datasets with user-level insights; 2) custom features, ideal for addressing specific needs of a client and built on each client’s requirements; 3) model features, up to 50 of the most predictive features that are included in a production model.

Marketing, churn prevention, fraud, CO versions, and approvals, each one with its own purpose. In this article, we’ll explain further the difference between each type, but it is important to highlight that no matter which kind of features we use, all of them are engineered on non-personal data and data that is not personally identifiable (PII). Therefore these are privacy-safe insights with a protected customer identity in compliance with regulations, including the GDPR in Europe, POPIA in South Africa, LGDP in Brazil, or the CCPA in California.
thanks for the tip. how does it work in your experience? Does it work to prevent the cold sore from breaking the skin or does it just speed up its healing / reduce the size of it.
Not my YT channel, but it is me talking. I was super excited to be asked to share some highlights of my archaeohistory newsletter on a pretty well-known channel. Figured I'd share it here in case anyone else loves learning about ancient things :)
Yeah. It’s maddening to imagine that the spaceship to bring them to the moon is smaller than the lander that will put them on the moon.
> at market price $600k

I don’t think they are really spending $600k. Chances are that they own a GPU cluster so they don’t need to pay the cloud premium.
So ... let me get this straight.

You are happily comparing industrial scale extermination, tossing babies into the air and catching them on bayonets, digging gold from murdered peoples mouths ... to ... the voluntary evacuation of a land at war?

You are really doing this?

Seriously?
It may or may not make a difference with what happens in the court system, but I assure you there is a set of people who think the tweet would be permission to hijack a domain. And some of that set overlaps with the group that might accept the $10k challenge. Whether they actually follow-through and are able to, hopefully not.

A bug bounty really ought to be thought out carefully.

1Blocker mostly operates by pumping rules into Safari's rules engine, but it also has an App Firewall feature that uses VPN profiles. I've had some compatibility problems with that, but mostly it just blocks 10,000s of requests I didn't want my device to make in the first place.
Just go out and paint, good grief. If you want to minimize liability, get some wheatpaste and a bunch of posters. Graffiti is vandalism, and punishable for higher penalties than 'billposting' which is a $50 ticket. Same effect.
Back in the days of yore there was this thing called 'Peep, the Network Auralizer'. It made your server produce jungle sounds based on the type and amount of traffic passing through it. I had this installed on the server-under-the-stairs for a while but eventually got tired of living in the ever more crowded Amazon (the rainforest, the book store did not exist back then) and disabled it. There is a Usenix paper on this thing [1] which links to the original distribution site which - alas - no longer exists. It was mostly written in Perl and as such quite hackable so those who want to go a step beyond having your terminal bell bleep may want to hunt for an extant copy of Peep.

I'd be surprised if they ever will. For my part, I just use afwall and other related services and accept the risk.
Lions for example - they live in aliances. Wild boars. Quite a lot of social animals live actually in families. It is hierarchy insofar adults are raising the children, but the children leave as adults and make own families. There is not much bubbling up and down.

Also, in herd animals like sheep the hierarchy consist on basically more aggressive individual eating fist and getting what they want. But, the other members dont follow them and there is no meaning of leadership. Just that, if you are stronger and beat others, you can eat first or pick place to sleep.

> Social animals organize into hierarchies precisely because hierarchies bubble quality to the top.

They don't. In business, it can be "cheapest" or "lies the most convincingly" or "has the right connections".

Even among humans, the quality that fairy often bubbles on top is violence. You see that everywhere in the world. In Chechenia it is Kadyrov and his quality was "born to correct dad and already have proven he is ruthless when dad dies". The quality that got Adolf Hitler on top was "good speaker, able to channel fear and hate".

Those are extreme examples, but I wanted something super clear. What bubbles on top is what bubbles on top. It can occasionally be quality, but it can be host of other things too.
This definition of "colony" refers exclusively to the colonizers, not the colonized. At this point you're just saying that colonialism sometimes works out very well for the colonizers, which is no longer a counterpoint to what you're responding to.
Why is this discussion always happening when we talk about downloading and executing scripts when otoh, nobody bats an eye when you need to download and execute some binary ?

I'm not saying that you should trust anything coming from anywhere, but you have no other choice than to trust the author of any software you run on your computer.

Even if the Chezmoi's author was a malicious guy, why would he hide something in the installation script when this script literally permanently installs a program on your computer.
A form with a logo... that looks consistent across most browsers, scales automatically between mobile and desktop user-agents, and already has all its sticky a11y metadata sorted properly, if they've picked a good framework. The gap between modern expectations and the bare-bones AJAX page is pretty wide these days.

It would definitely be better if there were a way to side-load those libraries as a standardized strata underneath the main browser content to save resources. So if someone uses React to do their form, yes it seems costly but the cost only needs to be paid once, and then the relevant framework is cached more statically than the transient web cache (and with an alternative to domain-based cache, such as checksums or signed binaries, to determine if two domains are using the same framework and save the download cost for all sites you visit using that framework).

... but only better if the tricky engineering questions around caching were sorted. There's plenty of risk that you'd end up with gigabytes of cached frameworks, because the current solution means I don't have to care if one site is using React 12 and another is using React 12.1.
Could training be crowd sourced among consumer GPUs like Folding at Home?
I do. Especially in my daily driver. In a game or utility app? Not so much. In a big app with millions of users I do find it shameful when notes are left out. Like, come on, at least have a link to the data. That data exists somewhere.
These are still non controversial. Controversial bubbles on HN are:

* Everything should be free and open source. Just because small portion of the HN can donate to their favorite projects, everyone should run on donations. Ads are forbidden on the internet. No internet business should be a profitable company.

* Tiring and useless interview process designed by FAANG etc is no way a farce and a totally justified practice (some version of Stockholm syndrome there)

* Private companies should not interfere in the politics/internal matter of another country. (This view quickly changes when they see the negative effect of same companies in their own country)

* YC is the best and the most exclusive startup accelerator/incubator in the world. If you got accepted in YC, you have won in life.
While I acknowledge business as a driving force behind tech, I think if you want to "change the world" all you really have to do is provide solid financial support to open source tech since that is where most of the "For profit" inspiration is coming from anyway.
This article gives me whiplash, it starts at a high level, dives, stops just before it touches upon the implementation details (and all the weird stuff which makes you realise the developers were human after all) then shoots back up again.

> Git does not currently have the capability to update a packfile in real time without shutting down concurrent reads from that file. Such a change could be possible, but it would require updating Git’s storage significantly. I think this is one area where a database expert could contribute to the Git project in really interesting ways.

I'm not sure it would be super useful, because of the delta-ification process. Adding "literal" (non-delta) files to a pack isn't much of a gain (file contents are zlib-compressed either way).
If space exploration beyond LEO requires SLS, killing it would be a mercy. We wouldn't lose anything real, and at least we'd save money.
I'm not sure why the swift backlash - you lived in a city. As I wrote "This sounds right for someone that lives in a city AND doesn't have kids." At the very least, that's an important "AND"
You are right that it restricts competitiveness, but even before that, integrating people thinking different and from different backgrounds requires a level of flexibility and resilience that is probably missing from these entities.

It’s not rare to see Japanese people looking for companies that recruit foreigners and “exotic” profiles, using that as a canary to signal a company that can deal with a range of issues, and won’t try to have them quit if they take a parental leave.
I don't understand this stance. They intentionally degrade the service to make it profitable. Video serving is incredibly expensive and YouTube is no charity. They have a premium tier at a very competitive price so what's the issue?
It’s the difference between stepping in a bear trap and poking a lion.
A values based judgement goes both ways though - you shouldn't be using such a service in the first place if you knowingly can't conceive of an ethical way for it to operate. And that's a fair stance but few seem to actually care about values based judgement enough to actually stop using the services.

That said this case isn't much of a moral mystery. YouTube offers a reasonable paid plan, most people just prefer ads.

I considered exploring it but css selector performance just doesn’t matter with todays engines. There are far greater issues, and far better performance wins than “optimising your selectors”.
GitLab does this, as an opt in for it's self hosted customers https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/development/service_ping/. Let me me clear this is an opt-in, not an opt-out. The default is to have this turned off. This is preferable in terms of user experience over it being an opt-out.
I don't think so. Not too long ago I was able to send an EPUB to my Kindle by sending it to a kindle email address from an "approved" sender.

Here's the help article describing that process: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/?nodeId...
Unfortunately, I can't share it "as is", as it has grown a lot over the years and contains a lot of information about my home and work network topology and setups. (I host it on a private git server)

I copied some of it into an example repository to showcase the structure and left the playbook.yaml intact for reference. You can find it on: https://github.com/cybrox/ansible-setup-example

I don't want to claim that this structure is in any way better or worse than anything else, it's just one that works for me. There's a lot of discussion on how Ansible projects should be structured. This allows me to simply run `WORKSTATION=home DESKTOP=wayland ansible-playbook playbook.yaml` on a fresh Arch Linux install and everything is ready to go.

For maintaining the repository, I got used to changing things in there and deploying them instead of changing dotfiles directly. However, I do also deploy a bash script to copy all the files from the system back to the repo to catch dotfile edits I did hastily at 3am.

An example of dotfiles being deployed with this approach is roles/shell/tasks/zsh.yaml
Did you need to update the docker image in-place afterwards? Unless you did, why not just export?
I agree with your assessment as of today, we can accomplish some amazing things by electing different leaders over time though. I read this as a call to activism.
Yeah, the comments boiling down to "Starship doesn't exist, SLS does" are hilarious.

> "Let's be very honest again," Bolden said in a 2014 interview. "We don't have a commercially available heavy lift vehicle. Falcon 9 Heavy may someday come about. It's on the drawing board right now. SLS is real.

Falcon Heavy launched four years after he said that. SLS still hasn't.
This is a good mental model. The internals are the internals. But the model users see is that a repository is a bag of commits (deltas) that organize into a tree, with branches and tags being names for specific commits. With this model in mind anyone can become a Git power user.
Flow-based programming is "the future" in the same way that Object-oriented programming was "the future" in the late 90s.

If history is any evidence, in 10 years we will all be using some mix of evented/flow based GUI tool. Some people will complain that everyone else is wrong, the functional programming folks will claim they invented flow-based programming first, and we'll see everything that has been being reinvented every 3 years for the last 20 years reinvented again.

And I look forward to it. This is just the way our industry is - new ideas + young energy crashing against institutional knowledge, slowly advancing the status quo.
Generations was not being used in an age-related context.
I see where you're coming from, and looking at the problem from a purely technical perspective, I agree with you. A password is just a string of codepoints. Accept what you get, yeet it into a password hashing function, and be done with it.

However, in my opinion, for real-world systems, you need to strike a balance between technical and operational, and user experience concerns. If restricting your password space to printable ASCII characters can meaningfully decrease the amount of the tickets that generate half of your ticket volume, you should give it some serious thought.

There are good arguments for both approaches, and the right way also depends on your user base. There was a story about WhatsApp a while ago, criticizing that WhatsApp would only notify users when their contacts' security code had changed, whereas Signal (and other secure messengers) would block and ask for confirmation first. Signal currently sits at 100M+ downloads in Play store, WhatsApp sits at 5B+. The numbers are very vague, but WA has 1-2 orders of magnitude more users than Signal.

In the WhatsApp example, a small change in the process can mean that good security becomes accessible to a pool of billions of users, vs. excellent security to millions. Restricting the password character set (to a sensible set of characters, and with a sensible length limit) comes with no security drawbacks, and good chances of some process/usability improvements. For a real-world deployment, I would argue it's very prudent.
Show HN: Affiliate Marketing for (Everyone Else)
Affiliate marketing today is largely only used by professional content creators (E.g. bloggers, influencers, media agencies) and platforms exist to target these users.

However, if you think about the recommendations you receive from your existing service providers in your daily life from general contractors to wedding planners and realtors to personal trainers, these individuals are leaving potentially $10s thousands of dollars on the table.

Wimgo Refer is Linktree meets Affiliate Marketing for everyone else. We have 12 + M affiliate products & services with predefined templates for your industry that allow service providers to send you a simple link to all their recommendations, offering exclusive discounts while at the same time receiving a commission on orders.

For example, let's say you have a training session with your personal trainer and you want a recommendation on some nutritional supplements and training supplies. She will send you a link to her Refer page, which is connected to GNC and Amazon recommending specific products, and if you click the link to order, she will receive a commission.
My best guess for the second one is "human trafficking".
My understanding was that PLMS was the current state-of-the-art. Would be interested if you have a citation for this "Euler" sampling method.
> As a rule, Java is not very productive.

I don't see how this is true.

Java has a great ecosystem all around for backend applications, which happens to be as focused as it can be, i.e. there are one or two big, high quality frameworks that everyone uses, and you're good to go if you stick to either of them. Also, every single cloud vendor supports Java as a first class citizen, so you get very low friction at CI and any step beyond it.

> The one large selling point of Java, that is to help you enforce a minimum level of quality on code that lots of people change, is completely meaningless for a small team starting up.

I haven't read this before, I must say it sounds a bit myopic.

Let's say it is true. Then what's the point of starting with any other language? Either you are a hobbyist, or you need to plan for scaling up your venture; and given that your team is small in the very beginning, where are you going to get the resources to give your product a makeover or rewrite it in a different language?

I'm fine with giving, say, books on Amazon a 3 or 4 star rating if they were basically "OK." But, yes, in a lot of contexts, anything other than a 5 star rating is considered bad and everyone knows that fact so more than a few "only" 4 star ratings and the Uber driver gets kicked off the service, the AirBnB owner loses their superhost status, or someone misses out on their bonus.

This spreads waaaay too much in otherwise rational circles.
Check your "if" statements, and ask for help from someone if you don't see where these Epicurian suppositions are poor rhetoric, patently misaligned with well-known scripture, and thus only serve as mental fodder for your own choir.
Else, consider with an open mind that "God is love" and consider how loving it is for, e.g., a nanny state to care for all your needs and control you in pure utopian safety.
Given our gift of free will, what an act of love it is to be hands-off so the subjects can learn (love - of self, other, environment, etcetera) how to impose balance of one's self within all of creation. God being able, but not willing, therefore, is clearly more nuanced than the "malevolent" conjurings of such a narrowed mind.
That said, such God would be able, but unwilling, as the will is distinctly ours. Following along, still? Evil exists because we may choose it, giving good people the opportunity to do something other than nothing with it.
Does God really punish, or is that something we do to ourselves? I, for one, am neither deceived by Epicurious nor you nor a pastor - were I to treat all above as true, there would indeed be suffering - but who would be punished, though, and for what exactly, by whom?
The plan is apparently to give us free will and let us learn love in all its forms and functions - sounds like juvenile sadists can imagine all they want and tell us "this is true" and "this is illogical" and be believed for millenia, though they're just wrong and gaslighting a culture. As a reminder, an early creation, The Lightbringer angel, is known to be deceptive. Those who accept The Word for what it honestly is do not thusly suffer.
A more loving, honest act would be to seek how such scripture is right and see how the falsified interpretations from some hateful few oughtn't give such trouble - but it's still your choice what you seek, and ye shall find it.
There is also a legitimate problem where companies protect their business case with an argument of security.

And, Pi-hole is basically just dnsmasq, so you don't actually need a Raspberry Pi and the official Pi-hole software if you already have a Linux box on your home network doing other things. Just configure dnsmasq and you've got Pi-hole's functionality. With custom firmware, your Internet router can host dnsmasq, so you don't even need a separate box (this is what I use).
