Honestly no clue, different vendor than the card was setup for.

This was during a big wave of unauthorized activity being attempted on their cards as well, a lot of friends reported blocked charges for random amounts at like a retirement/hospice home(?) at the time.

This was like 3+ years ago, and my only guess now (read: can't remember if this is true) is that the card had never been charged to the merchant, only pre-authed. But even then I'd expect the pre-auth to lock it to a merchant.
I would argue no, but that is my opinion.

The reason for my no is that if there are ad agencies committed to building a profile of you, that's far to easy for that profile to get sold/stolen by bad actors. For example, if I was a trans man, and I was buying feminine hygiene products, I could be targeted for harassment by a leaked advertising profile.

If there's no money in building profiles it makes it less likely that one will be built, not that it can't. But that's a reasonable tradeoff to me.
Bigger picture, the UK hasn't been doing great since 2008. Its productivity growth dropped to approximately zero after the crisis.
Penny Arcade had a comic on this recently:

Right, but you don't know what a clear cut is. I see wild life tree patches. Besides that this area will be replanted quickly.
My reading of this is that high energy costs disable the (production of) supply coming from Europe, such that demand (and the attractiveness of demand for European goods) is irrelevant, because supply is just not there.
That's not a spring thing, but a java tools convention (having a src and test folder etc).
Nothing stops you from doing it differently, but most tools work out of the box if you follow that setup. So better to just do it than having to fight with / configure every part of your pipeline.
Finland is trying heat storage - like the "sand battery" - and should be pushing heat pumps much, much harder than it is.
Ahh, looks like the limit on results is 100,000 items on that page. https://www.loc.gov/search/?q=god&sp=4000

But you can subdivide the search results by date and get every item on your original list: https://www.loc.gov/search/?dates=1890/1899&q=god&sp=1808

So, they have and can show you every single one of those 324,782.
Abbreviations seems actually useful!
A lot of folks are reacting to the fact that it seems like this new version won't be able to be self-hosted. And while I get why that's a turn-off to many orgs, there's a massive market for turnkey, managed data products like this. You can get really far without having to staff data or infra engineers. The way I see it, the next phase of "tech" company will deemphasize the amount of in-house engineering outside of their core areas of innovation. There will, of course, be many companies that remain engineering-driven, but I see that as less the assumed norm going forward.
Wow, this is awesome! So as I understand it, this uses Postgres and JSON fields to emulate the features of MongoDB, sort of as an abstraction?
I'll take the US state department over Russia any day, thank you. It's why most Eastern Europeans have no love for FDR and Churchill: they basically gave our countries to Stalin.

AAPL might be a safe bet, but maybe not? I'm sure the company will be profitable for quite some time but stock prices are not driven by profits as you know. They are built on expectations. A lot of the expectation for Apple is built into it's $2T market cap.

You might of thought AAPL was a safe bet at the beginning of the year, but now it's down 22.23%. At this point we don't know if it's going to take a year to recover or a decade.

So I know I am preaching to the choir but it's not just "company doing well so stock is safe". There's the context of the overall economy not to mention a lot of companies look like they are doing great until one day they don't.
>is a complete disregard for visa's rules

Visa is probably easier to deal with in the case of fraud than what it sounds like privacy.com is like.

I use a single CC for everything (that I'm willing to pay with a CC for.) It's been compromised to the point that charges went through 2-3 times over the past decade and a half. CC company caught the fraud each time, automatically charged-back each of the fraudulent transactions, and overnighted me a new card. They also moved all of my recurring charges to my new card (somehow.) From what I understand, all of the big 4 CC companies operate more or less the same in this regard.

This thread has eliminated the chance of me using Privacy.com in the future. If they can't make dealing with fraud at least as easy as a regular CC (which is quite painless, there's no reason to use them.
Buying internet gold on a dating site isn't a sign of dominance, sadly. It's a sign of weakness.
My prognosis from a million miles away is that you are in dire need of in-depth discussions with many different women about their dating experiences and experiences with men in general. You seem to not understand the landscape at all.

Like I said, pretend I said "Plaid pretends to be the users' banks in order to trick users into giving Plaid their bank credentials and stores those credentials without their knowledge or consent" if it makes you feel any better.

I'm content with my comment if you agree Plaid's behavior matches phishing with the only exception being how they use the credentials afterwards.

Sure, but it's not as if the data used to create the targeted ad disappears after the ad is served, or that the data in a single, secure location. It's shared with 100 other analytics companies and could end up in the hands of your health insurer, or God knows who else.
I would be fine with paying for youtube premium, etc. if they did not track and build profiles on paying customers. I get mining my data in exchange for using it for free, but I do not think it is fair to mine data on paying customers without giving them some discount/opt out.
> No one has said individual health choices doesn't matter

The president created an unconstitutional vaccine mandate that violates individual health choices (after saying he had no power or intention of doing that during his campaign), and most of his followers & supporters endorsed it.

That's not name-calling, especially when millions of Americans were threatened against their will to take an unprecedented vaccine (regardless of their risk or antibody status). It's simply ignorant to say that authoritarian impulses were not pervasive. I had a family member say we should just do what China is doing. That means welding people in their houses and rolling out total surveillance and intense police regimentation of public life. I'll never trust them again in the same way. I saw how people act in a true emergency and it's absolutely ugly.
Yes, but if they are using a worse product because it doesn't have ads, now that the worse product ALSO has ads, they may as well switch back.
You can turn off personalized ads on iOS https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/control-how-apple-del...

Turn personalized ads on or off
Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Apple Advertising, then turn Personalized Ads on or off.
Note: Turning off personalized ads limits Apple’s ability to deliver relevant ads to you. It may not reduce the number of ads you receive.
Know that Compact is an authoritarian, illiberal rightwing publication with contributors such as Sohrab Amari. Pro Orban and Pro Putin.
Nice xD
I'm against all ads, but I'm particularly against targeted ads because building and tuning systems that are designed to track people and personalize messages to influence behavior have far too many uses that are far worse that convincing someone to buy some pants or whatever. It's highly tuned and personalized psychological warfare at scale, that can be deployed for any number of reasons.

"All known theories of physics - from classical mechanics all the way to general relativity quantum field theory - can be written in this way: a collection of objects and a recipe to build a Lagrangian from those objects, with the movement of those objects determined by a path that minimizes the Lagrangian."

I think Quantum Mechanics doesn't reduce to this, it's a probabilistic theory.

A similar take from Peter Woit:

Even the smol internet is not immune. At Floodgap, I estimate about 2/3rds of the Gopher traffic is automated, based on the nature, spacing and progression of IPs through the site. Some of it comes from HTTP->gopher proxies that allow web bots to index through them (can't imagine how much money that can cost), but much of it seems to be connected to no known proxy.
Almost every aspect of this critique is only coherent if you already accept the premises of crypto speculators and the political halo around it.

Favorite LOL example: the unconsidered presumption that "centralized" is a pejorative.

Second favorite example: that contemporary national debt is worthy of a stunned "don't have."

Welcome to contemporary economic policy 101. Please find a seat close to the front so you can read the slides.

I haven't thought much before about the overlap between analytic realism a la Quine and anglo-american analytic language philosophy c. 1970,

and the libertarian foundations of the crypto woo woo, but I'm motivated now to take a closer look.

It certainly makes the halo around the smart contract and the reverential tone of formulas like "in the code" and "on the chain" a lot more intelligible.

(TLDR: in 1970 there were still philosophers who took seriously the that in some sense "truth" and in particular its assertion through language, corresponded to Things in the world, and indeed was a Thing, rather than e.g. language merely being a mechanism for agents to collaborate in information exchange through negotiated patterns... the difference being, in the real world, language is just a game played by agents who each model one another and presume intent and agency...)
For me, it's Snow Runner. Mud Runner had a more challenging UI. Snow Runner is a bit better. Not perfect, but better.

You have simple tasks and an open world for you to decide how to accomplish the task. There's typically an easy way, which requires more time to complete due to the travel distance involved. And then you can scale all the way up however difficult you want.

And then there's the recovery effort, when your "it didn't look that deep/muddy/steep" plan falls through.

I do like the farming games though. Or at least I did, until I bought 5 acres in the country and got out here. Now if I get the itch for a farming game, I do some kind of project.
I don’t think the money goes to the homeowners does it? They have home insurance (which I’ve heard is double what I pay for an inland city in an area unaffected by hurricanes). FEMA helps the area (utilities, essentials, shelter) but doesn’t rebuild their homes from what I’ve heard
If you want a contrary opinion, I disagree. On the face of it, I agree with your premise. However, targeted ads unfortunately also means creating profiles which are sold to data brokers. Targeted ads are I suppose ok. However, collecting data, profiling and selling to whomever is paying has very significant ramifications.

If advertisers figure out a way to target ads without profiling, I'm all for it. In fact, it's not that uncommon for me to watch "sponsors" on YouTube. It's targeted because people who are watching a video on mechanical principles, might be interested in.. Say "brilliant".

That said. VPN services and ear pods can gf themselves.
As someone who (unfortunately) used Meteor in the past I disagree. IMO from a dev perspective Meteor was just a poorly implemented promise at 0-effort real-time functionality on top of a database you were at the time (~2015) already interested in or using. It compounded all the problems of MongoDB with a non-perfect abstraction and javascript framework.

Whatever Postgres in WASM ends up being used for there's no way it repeats all those circumstances - at minimum Postgres is just a more appropriate tool then MongoDB circa 2015.
After replanting, how long does it take for the old growth trees to return? /s
I agree. If you really want to see every result for a topic this system hurts you. However I think that use case is vanishingly rare. Most users would be better served by refining their query for what they are interested in than paging through hundreds of pages of results.

Google isn't designed to be a archive of every webpage matching a search result, it isn't what their infrastructure is optimized for.
Right but we all know tons of people in relationships that started on dating apps. Most of us don't know anyone who got rich gambling.
what's in it for them anyway?
A huge part of Apple’s positive incentive structure was the fact that they didn’t do ads.

But now that they are getting into the ad space that incentive structure benefit pretty much crumbles away.
> There are 2 types of nukes: the small (tactical) and the big (deterrence).

It’s tactical and strategic, and they both serve a deterrence role (and even the tactical/strategic divide is debated as to its significance.)

SEEKING WORK, Brazil, Remote OK, c410.f3r (at) gmail.com

Software engineer with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and over ten years of experience in several technologies and programming languages. There are two fields where I mainly act: (1) DevOps; from database administration and data modelling to back-end programming or front-end design all the way to orchestrated deployment with latest tech and (2) Standalone software; involves embedded development in restrict environments, blockchain applications mostly related to Parity's Substrate and plain command-line interfaces.

On the open-source side of things, I regularly contribute to several projects, helping and communicating with other developers. Take a look at the available coding portfolio in my GitHub profile at https://github.com/c410-f3r where most public collaborations in the last five years were more focused on the Rust Programming Language ecosystem.

Over 40 certified courses have been completed and 10 professional certifications that covers a wide range of areas were obtained from different organizations, e.g., Linux Foundation and the Blockchain Training Alliance. Learning is very important to keep up with both old and new technologies, my newest certification is the Kubernetes and Cloud Native Associate (KCNA) and more certifications will be earned over time.

In my last work experience I refactored, architected and developed many key parts of a Parachain always aiming for security, readability, robustness and maintainability, which contributed to two successful marketing campaigns. In addition to all this and to finish, I also created and deployed a brand new Relay Chain like Kusama or Polkadot for custom usage and testing.

>It isn't just the UK government who were hoodwinked. The pellet plant itself is the same scam. It originally told the Canadian government it would convert waste from nearby mills into pellets. "At least 95%" of the pellets would be from sawmill waste, free money for the Canadian economy. Except oops, turns out that wasn't quite true. Almost immediately they needed to import waste from further afield, and then they found a much cheaper option, instead of paying to haul waste from other mills just buy whole trees. Soon the majority of the "waste" for the pellet plant was perfectly good logs.

Citation please.

There are more economically fruitful things to do with "perfectly good" logs than sell them to the nearby chip plant let alone the one far away.
GW150914 was detected in September of 2015 -- the associated prize wasn't awarded until 2017. That award followed the very important detection of GW170817 in August 2017, which featured the critical detection of an optical signature in parallel with the GW signal.

mRNA is definitely in a similar regime today. A promising technology led to vaccines in trials by autumn 2020, and oodles of shots-in-arms by autumn 2021. In 2022, the mRNA technology is on very solid footing for having saved millions of lives. The Committees definitely could award one or more mRNA prizes this year, but they may have other prizes they need to award before a worthy recipient passes away.

Summary: Chief Information Security Officer of Google Cloud, Phil Venables, covers all the teams listed in prior videos and describes how Google Cloud helps secure its customers.

Response: As an outsider watching video series, while it is possible I misunderstood, appears the Google Cloud CISO is the highest-level security leadership role within Google, which might be confusing to random outsider, since generally the public thinks of Google being Google, not Google Cloud. Lastly, as evident by my posts, really wish this had been accompanied by blog posts with links. These videos are obviously targeting general public and potential hires, but Google neither links to job opportunities or submit security issues, nor provides a way generally speaking to engage them with feedback, questions, etc - of the series or Google Security in general.

My first modem was a 300 baud Hayes modem that was given to me. I used it on my Atari 1040 STE. It was ... slow. The next bump was to 1200 baud, and that definitely made things a bit more bearable. A new family computer came with an internal 2400 baud, and then eventually I got my own USRobotics 14.4k. It was akin to getting on the highway after being stuck on rural roads with a low speed limit. I still miss those connect tones (14.4k being my all-time favourite.) I still have a USRobotics 56k vEverything modem.
Maybe not so much for the individual user's experience, but society as a whole.

We're seeing that targeted (political) ads are a powerful way to hack a democracy.

If everyone is seeing the same shitty advertisement, at least they have something to complain about together - even that much common ground is better in my opinion than everyone with their own version of reality.
