Except that oil is nowhere near that expensive in reality, and oil companies aren't buying oil at anywhere near that price. The reason it's expensive in Europe now (for consumers) is because the EU lump oil and gas together into one price, and gas is expensive, so oil got expensive, but the oil companies haven't paid nearly that much to buy it in the first place. That's why they are having a massive windfall and the EU is going to tax them.

These are all problem can be solved by capping oil price. Oil is a buyer's market, the US and Canada are producing so much of it, if OPEC+1 reduces output, it just amounts to a suicide for them.

>Is the review not human? Do they run it through the same algorithm a second time? Do they lie about the review?

Yes, yes, and yes. There's a context-illiterate AI deciding what you can say or not, even if the later heavily depends on context.

And just like it'll trigger a bazillion of false positives, it'll also trigger a bazillion of false negatives; someone can easily spread hate through Facebook, unimpeded, by simply encoding language in a way that the algorithm doesn't understand, but humans do; or with simple irony.

I think that's close to, or part of, their vision: https://plasma-bigscreen.org/vision/

What they have in the Downloads section now is basically a variety of distro images which you can run on a Pi, or a device that supports pmOS, etc. There's a long way to go before you could buy any random smart TV and flash this onto it. Though maybe less long if you have a smart TV with an embedded Pi which might be a thing these days?

I'm confused by this comment. Arq can store your backups in your own AWS account, using Glacier Deep Archive storage class. It's your own AWS account, so you pay exactly the Deep Archive price.

Rust's ecosystem is usually fantastic for CLI tools and specialized network servers. Large REST API servers aren't quite as solid (but perfectly doable for basic cases), and GUIs are nowhere near mature.

In several major areas, I actually like the available Rust crates for a given task more than I like the available npm modules. Rust has many fewer third-party libraries available, but the quality is often good.

Citadel are moving their HQ from Chicago to Miami, explicitly stating violent crime as one of the reasons[1].

One thing that’s affecting peoples perception of safety is an increase in violent crime in previously safe neighbourhoods such as River North. Folks who felt safe because they could avoid the more violent areas of town are reading about (and witnessing) shootings and car-jackings occurring near where they work and go out to eat at restaurants. That changes calculations away from feeling some semblance of control over the situation towards feeling like violence might randomly happen to me or my family, which increases fear disproportionately compared to the raw statistics.

Author of the post here. I definitely agree with that assessment. Having multiple stacks monitor each other is a really good, albeit somewhat resource intensive, way to cover all of the *likely* cases. The cost of covering that last percent very quickly approaches the point of diminishing returns.

The main problem is that Google asks you for a recovery email address and then won't actually let you use it for recovery.

Hi HN!
My name is Tyler, and I'm the founder of Bestlist.com. We're building a search engine that is focused on helping you find the best of anything.

For each search, we crawl the web and collect data, we measure sentiment from social media, and analyze various ratings, before compiling our list of results.

We're still in the early stages, and our results are not perfect, but we think things are looking promising.

In the future, we hope to personalize results for our users based on their search history. For example, if I search for "best gluten free beer" and "best gluten free pizza", and then turn around and search "best restaurants near me," it would make sense to show restaurants with gluten free options, right? This is a longer term goal and we know it's not going to be easy to get right, but we think it can be an amazing feature.

We'd love to hear your feedback.

Thanks so much, Tyler
Rust in the title? Straight to the front page.

Jokes aside that's some serious performance boost. Wonder what it'll perform like in everyone else's prod environment.
I assume they ban pretty much everything about the period 1925 to 1945 as race, national origin and probably gender was real prominent. And talk about the violence…
I never drove for Uber nor worked as a corporate employee (no risk for SSN leak). Have only used them as a customer.

I only paid for their services using Apple Pay. Even if that number was compromised, the CVV would no longer be valid. I think most banks would automatically re-issue the account number (not the physical card number) if they detect fraudulent use.

The only time I saved a card to Uber was before the NFC era (pre-2015/2016). Those cards have long been removed from the account and have expired.

I am not too worried. Worst case scenario, they have my address and name. Which are both publicly available anyways.

Although maybe I shouldn’t be too complacent. If the data is sold, then it will make me more vulnerable to social engineering attacks. Albeit knowing Uber has been hacked I will be much more aware.
Lol.

Yeah, that's how it works. Where would the money come from to pay a tax on something given away? There is no profit, there is only loss.

Yep, it was the same in the Middle East. Immigrants and travelers to Europe and the US frequently brought back electronics, including game consoles. They were then modchipped locally.
> Any 2FA is better than no 2FA.

False.

SMS 2FA is significantly, uncategorically, undeniably worse than no 2FA at all.

If your SIM card is hijacked, most websites/companies will quite happily let the impostor click a "Forgot password" link and get a SMS code to verify their identity, which will allow them into the account to take/change whatever other details they want at that time.

> An obvious one is that traditional mathematical convention requires single glyph variable names due to the unfortunate decision to save paper by denoting the product by juxtaposition.

Generally you'd use upright text in square brackets to denote longer variable names, the notation is often seen in applied fields. But this quickly becomes clunky with longer expressions.
> Lately I've been thinking if it would be possible to have an MMORPG game where instead of a server all the data would be saved in a blockchain/linked list.

What for? What advantage would this have over storing data on a server?

> I've been thinking about this, because servers are expensive and doing it this way you would have, kind of, solved the problem of scalability - no queues.

You're just offloading the cost onto the players, and offloading the queuing mechanic onto the blockchain.

I'm sorry to be rude, but this is another comment desperately trying to find a use for the blockchain, casting out a rod into infinite idea space, and pulling out a boot.

I think maybe you're referring to the original Glacier vault model? Nowadays you can put objects in an S3 bucket (with your own object name and metadata) and set the storage class to Glacier Flexible Retrieval or Glacier Deep Archive. Then you can use the S3 APIs to get object lists etc.

There has been one 12 figure judgement in history and it was from big tobacco lying about the danger of their product which has killed millions of people over decades.

In this situation there would be no judgement because there is no right to have a facebook account therefore they can close your account because they don't like your face or indeed because you sued them. Why would you imagine that a jury would basically award you all facebook's money because they closed your account? Yes sir Mr soandso they were clearly jerks I award you Facebook now try not to be as big a jerk as Zuck and good day to you!
Good, but the attacker spammed 2FA requests at an employee until they convinced them to accept one. Other than FIDO I think, most forms of 2FA are vulnerable to this.

Spoken as someone who has clearly never had any tech duties in the financial sector.

You don't understand what time critical means until a dealer's access stops working / computer freezes 10 minutes before market close. ;-)

At cloudflare-scale, I think I would want a proxy that sits at least partially in the network hardware.

Ie. so that the bytes of a large image or video that is coming from an origin server and being sent to a client never has to pass through the system RAM or CPU.

I'd probably implement this as mods to the sendfile() API so that a certain number of bytes can be copied from one socket to another, with that request going all the way to the firmware of the network card which will do the actual work.

It probably needs to work with HTTP/3 UDP and encryption too - so decrypt the data from this socket and send it to that socket reencrypted with this other key and packetized to this HTTP/3 stream. The firmware would need some way to do aborts/timeouts and kick a partially complete request back to software too.

Is it complex...? Yes. But will the compute savings be worth it...? At cloudflare scale, I think the answer is yes.
Yes, can anyone comment on the xilinx 7 series support? Is bitstream 100% reversed today?

You seem to want to keep your blinders on.

The population is growing and hence the number dying is also growing. The way you handle the data to determine what is considered 'excess' changes the value.

Actuarial science has been used to make that determination in more recent studies. Those studies suggest that the 'excess' number used by politicians and in news media is not accurate.

Actuarial science used by insurance companies now shows historic changes in occurrence of deaths, over this period of time, that are not caused by SarsCoV2.

Again, I suggest you investigate where the information comes from that you consider to support you base assumptions.

Right now the idiomatic Go approach to handle networking is 2-goroutine per socket (one for reading and the other for writing). Goroutines are very lightweight userspace threads, but they're not free: each costs you a small amount of memory. At Cloudflare's scale, this overhead quickly adds up. So resource-wise, Go isn't ideal for very large scale use cases.

There is a more-than-6-year-old proposal to introduce non-blocking I/O API (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/15735) but so far it's not gaining much traction. Maybe in Go2.

> This doesn't depend on the age. Though it might depend on a person.

Yeah, definitely by person, because personally it seems to have only happened as I got older. From birth until I was ~30 or so I could sleep through alarms unless strategically placed away from my bed, and if not awoken, I slept until ~2-3 pm, no matter when I went to bed.

Nowadays, I can go to bed at any time and automatically wake up when needed, no matter how tired I'm "supposed" to be.

Neither my habits nor much in my life has changed since I was 25 or so, so guessing it has to do with age, but in reality, who knows why?
This original post is someone using their phone number for two accounts. Having multiple accounts is against their rules, so it's abuse of their platform.

Another user talking about being banned from Discord was supposedly involved with a server trading child pornography and then continuing to get banned by creating additional accounts which is once again against Discord's terms.

I'm not seeing a lot of examples of people truly getting banned for no reason. It's not my place to tell Discord what is and isn't abuse of their platform. They're allowed to make their own membership rules.

But please, answer my question. Is discord allowed to exclude those who they feel abuse their platform? That's kind of the key point here.
I don't know. I get the feeling the no one at Microsoft cares about Microsoft. The Office team obviously cares deeply about Office, the Edge team about Edge, the XBox team about the Xbox, the Visual Studio team about Visual Studio and so on, but no one actually cares about Microsoft. No one is making decisions with a holistic view about what is good for the company as a whole.

The people who made this decision are only answerable to their team and hitting their targets. They don't care about the effects it has on other parts of the company, and don't have incentives to either.

Dutch is a mix between German and English. English is certainly not the hardest language to learn if you already know German or Dutch, although any Romance language helps too. Doesn't really translate to north Germanic languages like Swedish though. I think English, Dutch and German are classified as west Germanic languages while the others are north Germanic languages. On the other hand English did make substantial changes compared to Dutch or German.

We have a similar albeit plastic microscope for our kids. The issue I have with it on newer iPhone is that the phone keeps wanting to switch lenses.
