A few years ago there was a big "internet outage" in my country. The people responsible for the national TLD had forgot to put the trailing dot in their zone file somewhere, meaning lookups of example.tld failed -- but due to how search domains were configured by their servers, example.tld.tld did resolve!

Sometimes me and my friends refer to it as "the .tld.tld incident".

That's what you get when you under finance public schools,public healthcare, etc. They wanted people to be just clever enough to consume but without complaining about real problems. So now people are "a lot" less educated, so they live with a low/bad/wrong idea about the world, economics and society. For years rich people thought that every man for himself was the better aproach but don't having into account that they also live into society. Thatś what you get, a place where you need private police, a place where you are scare to go anywhere.
These kind of abstract things are pointless tests - when do you need a stained glass picture of a woman in a library with a raven on her shoulder with a key in its mouth ? You're likely to accept some wildly inaccurate things in those images because the subject is so abstract.

A more practical use case is "bicycle, branded x, with y frame shape, with an adult male, 40-50, riding down hill in mountain road in spring" - now that's something I can use as stock photo. This example is very specific - but insert whatever product you want in whatever scenario you need it. Here it becomes important that you understand features of the objects you're drawing to avoid making colossal mistakes, and you're going to notice if the model doesn't understand it right away.

Painting abstract portraits and random art is fun but you're willing to accept so much as correct that it's not a very useful measure of model quality (personally).

Unfortunately I have seen similar and they never recovered access. It is just lost to the void that is Google support for their free services.

Yes I know it is the risk you run using a free service but I feel there should be some official process for a real human to get involved to get the account back. As you say you can lose access to your whole damn world these days.

It is crazy we have so many protections for your account getting hacked yet absolutely nothing to recover the same account should some automated system determine you are not you.

Good. I am going to try KDE on a TV ever again. They don't seem to care, so why should I?

Wait a few days. It may be possible at a later date.

I'm not storing cookies when using GMail and at a time I regularly got those suspicious login type messages when the browser updated to a new version. At one point I had to click a link in the recovery email and enter the month when the account was created. Pretty much guessed several times until nothing worked. Tried again a day or a few later and got in again.
>why are they exempt from taxes during record high inflation

Because they literally own all (or at least most) of the tourist attractions in the UK. It looks funny how the royal family is paid bunch of money for just existing until you realize they own the land and they have deal with the government where government handles the properties and whatever and pays the royal family for it, but the amount revenue is much much larger
What would it say? My kid persuaded me to use 2-factor login and I lost one of my 2 required passwords and now I demand access to my account?
Meanigless study with only 21 babies, extremely small sample size to make some general statements.

> Results showed that the most effective way to put a baby to sleep was to carry them and walk around for five minutes, sit and wait for five to eight minutes, then put them to bed.

Also this is nice theory, we all know of course if you hold baby (and eventually walk) the baby can fall asleep, the problem is to put the baby down without waking it up, I would like to see this quantified over hundreds of children how many times will baby wake up after following these steps and then putting them in bed.

What was the game? Could you possibly run it again?
Insane is a strong word. But your description ("efficiently price a scarce resource") is economics textbook language and irrelevant to the end consumer. What's "insane" about a currency where on any given day the effective purchase price of goods can fluctuate by 100x (from $5 gas fee to $500) is that it's not a usable medium of exchange. As a consumer I need price stability. Getting "priced out" of buying a t-shirt, or playing a game, and whatever other thing I want to buy (or sell), is an inconvenience that would cause me to just use a network with sufficient capacity to never be "scarce".

The resource I want isn't "block verification". That's Ethereum's problem, not mine. I want the thing I'm trying to buy. So I disagree the market is efficient, there's a tax on goods unrelated to the good in question, and I would use Visa to avoid it, as the other poster said in what you call a "weird flex".
I think changing the terms of the bet is definitely shifting the goalpost, even if not by much. It is certainly enough for the other party to refuse the win.

Just because you don't see any Apple skunkworks VR/AR headsets getting left in a motel room [1] and they don't report how much they are investing in that new product line (rumored to be more in total than Meta's 10B/y) - you should not underestimate the potential for immersive spatial computing to do to the iPhone what the iPhone did to the iPod.

San Francisco also has a policy against car chases. I don't know how recent it is, but it's definitely a thing, now, presumably mostly among liberal coastal cities. (But maybe even broader to some extent?)

I did some Googling and found this 2013 policy order: https://www.sanfranciscopolice.org/sites/default/files/2018-...

TL;DR: Pursuits are only authorized, if at all, in the case of violent felonies or when there's immediate risk to public safety. See section IV.

Moreover, even if a pursuit is authorized, the rules stipulate that they have to break off the chase if there's a risk to public safety. (This is also stated in the above order.) And as compared to years prior and oh-so-many-famous car chases in California, tolerance for the risks in car chases has plummeted. (If we're being cynical, mostly out of concern for the criminal, not the public; or at least concern regarding the ire of criminal rights advocates whenever a chase results in the death or injury of the suspect.) For example,

> Officers responded to a call Sunday evening of a Tenderloin robbery and auto theft, but were forced to end their pursuit when the suspects began driving the stolen vehicle in an erratic and dangerous manner.

> People who call ZTN a meme are usually just ignorant.

It's become a "meme" because it is used in endless irrelevant ways. So many companies are pushing zero-trust solutions that don't have anything to do with the basic idea of requiring access control at every endpoint.

Also, while it is a very sound practice, there's also the hyped idea that it replaces everything else. Which is not very wise. You still want defense in depth over and above requiring acess control everywhere.
Yes, yes we all know that.

That is being very pedantic though as to OPs mother (and the vast majority) Gmail and the related Google services were 'free' in that she didn't enter her credit card details and pay a monthly/yearly fee like she does with Netflix.
Well, I haven't been a tester, much less in a desktop app or a game company, but I'm vaguely confident that a tester's job is to raise hell, and this sure deserves it. As a ‘senior dev’ I've killed some sponsored, money-backed changes because they would require revising how the site's backend works on a basic level. IMO what this tester should've done is to show the behavior to any dev with a semblance of clout.
Correct, but it's probably not necessary to permanently lock someone out. All that is needed is a significant delay.

You could just block access and say "come back in 28 days". In the meantime, warning SMS and email messages could be sent to the account contact alerting them of a possible takeover attempt with a link to disavow the attempt.

Word for Windows was NOT worse than WordPerfect. WordPerfect continued using their primitive inline codes after GUIs were the norm.

Word integrated an entire programming language (WordBasic), with which you could not just create macros, but entire applications complete with dialog boxes. I used WordBasic to add features to Word years before they were offered, such as page numbering that spanned documents.
This is literally why I said it would sound suspicious. Most people wouldn't be able to tell. Which is why I said you'd need to provide some kind of sufficient proof of your identity (or some adequate alternative) to address their fears.
In an alternate universe where Apple acquired Be, we'd see another Copland-esque slow moving catastrophe as the skeletal and unproven Be technology was cobbled together with everything needed to execute a plausible transition plan for the existing System 7 platform. This had every prospect of turning the Macintosh into another Amiga: even if a BeOS technology transition was a miraculous success, Apple's prospects as a company would be largely unchanged, because the real problems at Apple wasn't technology, it was a lack of leadership.

Would a Be acquisition do anything about the hundreds of engineers fritting away at dead ends like Pippin, OpenDoc and NewtonOS? Would it have stopped Apple from selling awful flawed hardware like the Power Macintosh 5000 and 6000 series? Unlikely. It's easy to forget just how ridiculous the Apple Computer of 1996 was. It was a company destined to — and deserved to — be consigned to the history books.

As valuable as the NeXT technology was to Apple, its importance is utterly dwarfed by the actions of Steve Jobs to rip away at the junk and rebuild the company in every sense of the word.

I ran into a situation earlier this year where I tried to log in to my Google account in a pinch on someone else's computer and I could not because, even though I did NOT turn on any fancy 2fa options and had ONLY ever wanted Google to use my phone number or alternative e-mail address (at MOST) for such purpose, they refused to let me log in unless I approved some special 2fa mechanism in the YouTube app I had logged in on a Google Fi Android phone that I only use for testing and had over a thousand miles away from me at my desk. It was ridiculous.

In another, non-Google case, Apple once demanded that I provide the answers to challenge questions for an account I didn't use often even though I had my username and password correct. To me, the challenge questions are something that should only ever be used to verify in the case that I don't know my password, and it took me three days of trying against the rate limit to get enough tries to figure out the spelling of the answer for one of my questions. What made it really ridiculous is that the only reason this account existed was to give me access to developer account that was actively billing my credit card that I couldn't access... at least with Apple there was a customer service representative who was willing to try to figure something out as they agreed that it was ridiculous that I was paying money for something I couldn't even log in to cancel (though she wasn't sure if she could actually do anything...).
How do you recover if you lose access to your device?
While the sunset is foggier than the rest of the city I can confirm nothing in the past few days comes even close to what used to be considered "dense fog" for SF. I remember walking in fog like that and not hearing even fairly loud cars till they were almost right on top of me because of how noise-dampening the fog was.
I guess then in your opinion what the Nazis did was fair game, and they should not have had to pay reparations either? What, in your opinion, is the cutoff point in time, where sins are universally absolved?

Edit: It's clearly a subjective topic, but there are significant impacts felt the world over due to the British empire. I'm not sure you can say the same of Alexander the Great. People are directly and significantly affected to this day by the actions of the British. I guess the nature and extent of the impact would need to be decided by a court, but it'll always be an imperfect science. That doesn't mean it's unnecessary.
(Pssst, you're supposed to move the goalposts to "inequality")
No, its not being pedantic. If it was a truly free service that the company provided for no income at all I could excuse their lack of support.

> Bitcoin uses less energy than YouTube

I believe this is totally wrong - I think Bitcoin uses significantly more than YouTube. Where did you get your numbers?

The 2020 Google Environmental Report [1] lists the total energy consumption of all Google/Alphabet data centers as ~12.2 TWh/year in 2019 and growing at about 2 TWh/year. (See page 32.) So in 2022 the approximate usage for all Google/Alphabet properties, not just YouTube, would be about 18.2 TWh.

Meanwhile, Statista estimates Bitcoin as consuming about 177 TWh/year [2].

So this means Bitcoin consumes about 10x as much as not just YouTube but all Google/Alphabet data centers combined!

There are some urban legends about YouTube using much more energy than it does; some of those urban legends are refuted here: [3]

The fact that the real world belief and the analogized belief are both absolutes is not an important detail of the point that the analogy gets at.
The ars technica article about this has some additional info from the hacker about sony not really being able to do this:

"CTurt stressed to Ars that it would be nearly impossible for Sony to plug the hole that enables mast1c0re. That's because a version of the exploitable PS2 emulator in question is packaged with each available PS2-on-PS4 game rather than stored separately as a core part of the console operating system. [..] For physical PS2-on-PS4 discs, that means the exploit should continue to work as long as you refuse any online updates before playing. And for digital releases, even if the exploit is later patched out, there are methods to downgrade to a stored, exploitable version using proxy HTTP traffic from a local server."

so there isn't just a single PS2 emulator in the PS4/PS5's OS, it's a per-game emulator.

> What you are describing is a full-reserve bank.

Yeah, like I said: an honest bank.

It's an open secret that money "in your bank account" isn't actually in your account waiting to be withdrawn—the banks will openly acknowledge that if asked, though it's not something they like to draw attention to in their advertising or when you're opening an account—but they aren't so open about the fact that this practice comes with investment risk, including the possibility of losing any money you've deposited with them, or at least being forced to wait longer than usual to get it back because the bank is having cash-flow issues. (Which, naturally, causes even more severe cash-flow issues for the depositors.) They have the mandatory insurance, of course, but the FDIC is more of a placebo to prevent bank runs than actual protection against systemic issues affecting many banks at the same time. The FDIC can bail out any one bank easily, but if everyone wanted their deposits back there wouldn't be nearly enough to cover the banks' obligations. The only way to avoid bank failures in that scenario would be to print more money, which would drive inflation and penalize those who put their money in less risk-prone, higher-reserve banks.
In this case it took both the one employee out of 20k+ getting tricked and the entire (supposedly world class) engineering org that allowed admin authentication credentials to get hardcoded into a globally accessible power shell script exposed on the intranet.
Google forced 2FA for (all?) accounts earlier this year. I turned it off immediately, because I was more worried about losing access than someone guessing my password (besides, Google has other mechanisms already in place like IP checks or new device checks). I can't believe Google would activate 2FA on all accounts. It seems too easy for it to go wrong for normal people.
