Do you believe that's what this requirement is for?

This has not been my experience, although I have never dealt with Rogers. Whenever I have canceled service from a similar vendor in this market, they want me to talk to a representative to try and encourage me to stay, not to make sure I am who I say I am. I am not sure how they would determine authenticity over the phone any better than they could electronically, although I know there are 'voice print' authentication services now that maybe they use.

Overall, when I see this I believe it's to introduce enough friction that some people will give up without trying.

How about because it is the Year of our Lord 2022, the last monarch of the British Empire is dead, and humanity generally agrees now that theft through conquest is a bad idea, and Britain realizes that decolonization has to cost it something to mean something, and giving back a shiny rock on the Queen's hat which literally serves no purpose besides being a gaudy symbol of a shameful, spiteful legacy, really isn't much to ask, all things considered?

Any time now Edwin or someone else from Stripe who gets pinged when a story hits HN frontage will come in here and post some copy paste “pLeASe eMaiL me”-apology and then everyone can feel good about themselves again. But in the end nothing changes.
Not trying to be too much of a hater but I'm really not a fan of most modular music. Or at least these sorts of sonic Funko Pop showcases that flood youtube. Gear that costs more than a car, and all that comes out of it is undeveloped 16 minute jams of 16 step melodies, so processed they sound like nothing at all. The way the equipment itself takes center stage in all these clips also brings to mind the literal baby videos of people squeezing Play Doh or opening Kinder Eggs or whatever. Abject.

Irrelevant, if that doesn't lead to product innovation. Historically, it hasn't.
if anyone gave a crap about your second sentence they'd point out that its impossible to parse without punctuation or rewording or something, but the fact that everyone already knows what you're saying despite an inscrutable explanation really pokes a hole in the idea that you are bringing up anything remotely novel

Okay. But that's surely not a reason why the Brits get to keep it. "This is too hard, let's give up and keep bringing in tourist money to our museums through these artifacts" feels like an awfully convenient excuse.

There are history of math courses. I took one and enjoyed it, but it's a vast topic, reaching into ancient history. It's unrealistic to cover much of it.

And on top of that vast pile of material, there is the history of how teaching math has changed over time. My professor had some early US textbooks.

I believe it's a combination of both. The authentication questions are often something quite basic that an account hijacker might not be in possession of, unless they bought basically a full identity theft kit/data set from some data dump. Like residential address, date of birth, last four digits of the credit card or current billing method, etc.

ColdFusion fan? I still have a soft-spot for ColdFusion, even though like most other ColdFusion developers I moved on to both PHP and Java, and then to other pastures entirely. ColdFusion's embrace of Java spelled its demise, becoming lost in the swamp of enterprise complexity.

Is there something you could say about these unfortunate notations or an article you you could point me to so that I can understand what they are?
Supply and demand for gas, it's logical.. there's limited blockspace, so you let the highest bidder get it. Avalanche solves this problem by horizontally scaling using something called Subnets. As games or applications outgrow the main-net they can move to their own dedicated chain which is interoperable with the mainnet. When the games moved, demand for blockspace shifted, and gas prices went down for everyone (including the players).
> "If you can decommission debris you can decommission satellites. This has obvious military applications. In fact to properly do this you actually have to get pretty close to other satellites without colliding. By solving the debris problem you're solving a lot of the same problems you need for these military applications."

I'm not sure that's entirely true. Having a collector satellite match orbit with the debris and grab is one way to get rid of it, but I suspect in most cases it's good enough to just position a satellite with, say, a big steel plate in a path that intersects the debris' path and deflect it at the right angle so it returns to Earth. (If you're really clever you might use the impacts to deflect the interceptor satellite into roughly the right orbit to intercept the next piece of debris.)

There might also be ways to "catch" debris with moderately high relative velocity with the collector satellite. I imagine there's limits to the size of thing you can capture that way and the maximum relative velocity if you want to be pretty sure you can catch it without creating more debris.

Maybe the least sophisticated way to deorbit debris would be to just have an object with relatively low mass but very high surface area (e.g. an artificial "asteroid" made of aerogel) in an orbit that gives it the greatest probability of hitting any average piece of space junk, and then you wait for things to hit it by chance. The things that hit it lose momentum and hopefully fall back to Earth.
Toy Models of Superposition [in Neural Networks]
I once heard that if you walk into any Big Tech company and want to figure out who the manager is, just look for the tallest, best-dressed man and you'll be right 90% of the time. This is, of course, apocryphal but I imagine there's some truth to it.

This is life in general. There is an awful lot of privilege associated for completely arbitrary characteristics over which individuals have absolutely no control. Work, dating, whatever. This applies to both men and women
.
The article doesn't really go into why people are seeking this procedure. It would be illuminating to see quantitatve data on this. Is it because of dating opportunities? Work? Something else?

Hiring practices are notoriously superficial. Ageism, sexism, racism (eg [1]), etc. Often these things are masked as "culture fit". HR will put lots of processes in place ostensibly to counteract bias but the net effect is really to shield the company with plausible deniability when it comes to bias against protected classes from individual interviewers and hiring managers.

It would be interesting to see how height fits into this. Height seems to be a mixed blessing in acting, for example. There are certainly some very successful shorter actors (eg Tom Cruise is 5'7").

I imagine there is some of in software engineering too. Height goes to confidence and confidence will sway interviewers more than any technical competence will.

No Indian politician would want to appear to be appeasing Bangladesh would be slammed as anti-Hindu, anti-Assamese, anti-Tripuri, etc depending on the election, especially over an unneccesary symbolic issue like the Kohinoor diamond. And fundamentally, no one actually cares about the Kohinoor diamond conundrum other than a couple chattering class types like Tharoor. The Kohinoor diamond question is basically a microcosm of the larger issues in North India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan that all those central goverment politicians exacerbated or directly caused during Partition, the 1980s Punjab Militancy, the Kashmir exodus, the KPK insurgency, the Afghan Civil War, the ongoing issues in Kashmir, the various Indo-Pak wars, etc.

There is a very interesting study that analyzed men and women height preference using a large speed-dating sample.

The results clearly showed that being taller increase men chances of getting a yes - no matter how tall you are, and no matter what the woman initially stated as their max ideal height!

In Canada? If you're on a month-to-month service term with Rogers, nothing, if you signed a 12/24/36 month service agreement and you break it before the term is up, they send it to collections and it ends up on your credit report.
> 1) it is totally unfair for the honest buyers if other people can get it for free in an "illegal" way.

I have never, ever seen anyone make that argument. How would that even work? "I paid fof this Smart TV. Then I heard about a massive shoplifting operation that took place on the store I bought it from. Damn! Why did I have to pay when those thiefs got many for free!". Doesn't hold up.

> 2) The IP holders may simply don't want people to get there work for free, irrespective of the fact "they are not going to buy it anyway!". I've seen lots of indie artists express such opinion.

What would the motivation for not wanting them to get it for free be, then? Unless you don't want people to get your works in the first place. If you do, I don't see how piracy might make you angry without the "concern over potentially lost sales" element.

This just fundamentally feels like a bad hill to die on. Compositionality feels like it is:

A) Something AI is currently known to be bad at

B) A matter of degree, not a categorical stumbling block

C) Vague enough of a concept that AI skeptics will continue to complain about it even after the field has moved on

Your example feels less like a description of "compositionality" and more a description of "qualia." It feels an awful lot like dualists trying to carve out a place for magic that no artificial process can reach.
Roger's isnt really a business, it's part of an oligopoly and more like a government utility. They do focus on churning customers from their identical "competitors", but a big part of their model is making it as hard as possible to cancel. Normal business rules don't apply, it's basically government rent seeking and doing as little for customers as possible while charging them as much as possible. The Canadian telecom industry bears no resemblance to "business".
Unless it's shared, of course.

Fuel and some maintenance is a decent approximation. The others you listed are paying for car ownership, not driving. Tolls charge for driving.

I disagree completely. More lanes and more congestion make driving worse. My suggestion decreases both.
While nobody is surprised, still feels like the beginning of the end of an era. I guess the only question is how long Nadal will hang on. My wife and I joke that Djokovic will still be crushing 20 year olds for years to come, but time catches all of us eventually.

It feels like it's worth mentioning that almost all pro tennis players declare residency in places like Monte Carlo to avoid taxes. This makes sense since they are on the road 90% of the year anyway so why pay super high taxes back home? Federer, however, retained his residency in Switzerland, paying very high taxes on his $130mm (!!) in winnings (not to mention all the other income from sponsorships, etc). In a world where wealthy people hyper-optimize to avoid paying their fair share, playing the "it's all perfectly legal!" card, it is comforting to occasionally see someone who says, hey, I have plenty, maybe I'll pay it forward a bit so the next generation can have the same opportunities I had.
I think everyone understands this, however fortunately that's not how prions work.

As if the CRTC doesn't meet the absolute economics 101 textbook definition of Regulatory Capture.

If the Canadian federal government had any intention of applying actual consumer-friendly policies with teeth to the telecom industry, they wouldn't be letting Shaw and Rogers merge. But they almost certainly will.

In Canada this is not a (L) or (C) political problem, both parties have been equally bad in the last 25 years letting telecom companies with billions of dollars market cap do basically whatever the hell they wanted. Under Chretien, Martin, Harper, and Trudeau. It's more a problem of the wealthy throwing their weight around in Canadian business influence over the government policies generally.
According to which source? I think the people quoting the "split the baby" story are quoting a bible story which is unambiguous. Most old testament stories are parables that got written down and edited to support the religion, so I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of Judaic parable (or a parable from another culture) said that Solomon had a less violent solution.
Apache APISIX also has several security features to help reinforce API security. For instance:

1. It can dynamically manage lots of TLS certificates and do the TLS/SSL terminate or use mTLS to communicate with the upstream;
2. Plugins like ACL, IP Restriction, CSRF, and Referrer Restriction restrict API access in different dimensions.
Because you're not in California, and the Canadian government hasn't forced an end to this bullshit practice.
Nothing is wrong with PROPER refurbishment.

The first problem is a lot of refurbs are poorly done. I've had parts that were literally something else with a different print on them. Entire controllers that were marked as X but were Y in reality.

The second problem is the buy side. Government especially has regulations for quality control and counts on suppliers to do their part. Check out MVP Micro for a company a decade or so ago where the owners were profiteering off refurbs and wound up in prison.

Not being able to charge your card doesn’t mean you’re not liable for the charges. If it’s worth it, they’ll sell your accounts receivable to a collection agency.

That method of skipping out on cancellation only works if they don’t actually have a name / address / etc to identify you.
That’s a great way to end up in collections with ruined credit.
AsciiDoc's flagship feature is the include directive (think partials). GitHub rendering doesn't support it. On GitLab you are limited to ~30 includes, after which your document just spits out source. So in most cases, you can't preview AsciiDoc files that use the include directive without cloning the repo and previewing it locally.

When you take away the include directive you have a less elegant syntax that is harder for contributors to read, much less adopt. Add to that a very small community and a lack of critical tools. Most glaringly, there is no linter for AsciiDoc.

AsciiDoc just doesn't have advantages over Markdown (including partials, as Markdoc and other tools used by IBM and Microsoft allow them). Meanwhile Markdown renders everywhere, and it's highly legible as source.
But you can choose what to do with your cards. And there are formats that don't need you to spend tons of money to have fun.
It does not tranform your TV into anything. it needs a RPi in order to do anything.
a fascinating thing to learn in canada, as someone who works in the telecom industry, is that the vast majority of non-industry consumers have absolutely no idea who really owns the various MVNO/flanker brands like chatr, fido, koodoo, public mobile etc which all run on the networks of Bell, Telus, Rogers.

the ordinary consumer really does believe these are separate networks.

Yes, we are probably agreeing on some level. I've lost track. :) But back to the parent point, the "spread" between honest and strategic is probably smaller if restricted to election results that end in single-member smith sets.
We have absolutely no way to tell how far from "AGI" we are.

What we know for sure is that we're not there yet.
And what seems likely is that we're getting closer, and that's something.

That is as much prediction we can get.

I don't think that Compositionality is a wall, it is clearly an interesting feature, but I think that it is pretty clear by now that the Turing test or anything in the same spirit is far from sufficient.
This sounds great but is a bit worrisome given companies monetize everything, including any information they learn about you to sell to other parties.

Imagine the damage if a company like Comcast passed this info on to Palantir or one of its ilk.

Given employers have used private screening companies for ages and landlords increasingly use them, it could seriously fuck up your life, and you'd never even know...
Uber investigating breach of its computer systems
Yeah but now instead of organizing around a local division of the Maersk company and their software to validate operations - relying on trust that they'll handle things correctly on their end - the locals could just use a blockchain app with zero organization and zero people to trust beyond the protocol itself. Granted that's not needed, as Maersk is apparently doing a fine job now, but if that ever changes - it's there as a backbone, and it's unlikely to be replaced except by a better protocol. This just lowered the need for organization and cut out a middleman (Maersk) saving money on the whole process (at least once the protocol market has churned for a bit and settled into a nice boring reliable one around for a few years / decades, charging only the bare computation costs - which is hopefully/predictably the future of all crypto tech... boring and cheap as shit).

I have little trust in cryptocurrency beyond "people like hype markets", but a global consensus layer is an obvious step with many applications for whittling down every process to its barebones - with some guarantees at a protocol level that the savings aren't going to anyone in particular. This doesn't need to do anything new, it doesn't need to do anything flashy. It just needs to slowly devour every existing business and reduce them to essentially open source software, uncontrolled by any middlemen or power brokers, accessible by anyone for pennies. And it probably will!
Huh? If you are short, then literally nothing else matters. Sure women take other (like social) cues to judge desirability, but short men are just not considered equal when it comes to physical attractiveness.

There's, as far as I know, no such analogous singular deal-breaker trait for women.
> It’s just an arbitrary history-dependent path people happened to come up with, mostly centuries ago, and “refactoring” any of it is almost impossible.

This is absolutely not true. If anything, math education has a tendency to keep losing intuition over time as it's refactored for modern approaches and notation.

This can't be true, many bioscience people have commented assuring us that because Deep Fold doesn't literally spit out new proteins, its nothing new, and saying otherwise is misleading
The only correct answer in this entire comment section.
Two things are wrong here:

1) The reason it can't be done with EVE is not because EVE is not on the blockchain. It just happens to not be possible because the devs didn't make it so. They could have, but they chose not to.

2) Something being on the blockchain does not make it automatically permission-less. It depends on how the smart contracts involved are coded.

I think point 2) is something that a lot of people don't realise wrt/ NFTs. The NFTs are transferable without the author being involved because the Smart Contract that drives them has a function (aka an API endpoint) that provides that feature. It is not a property of the blockchain itself. It is a property of an arbitrary piece of code that happens to reside on the blockchain. A property that any web service is capable of providing without the blockchain having to be involved.
The obvious question would be why do you hate it so much. I can't recall the viability of any piece of technology affecting me so negatively. We create technology to solve problems. Even if you can't think of a reason why some technology should exist, I can't imagine why it should elicit such strong emotions.
Such as? Many branches of mathematics have their own mutually unintelligible dialects of notation. Many longer papers or Ph.D thesis will just create notation just for the context of the paper.
