Counter-point: always pay for online dating (as a guy). (Everything that follows is anecdotal.) I used Tinder off and on for years. When I was active I’d swipe for 10-30 mns a day and I think I estimated I could get through 100 right-swipes (“Yes, I want to match”) per day. Even with that I would only end up with 1 or 2 matches a week. Which predictably when you include the chances of them being a bot, of them not responding, or not being serious about going out on dates meant I was basically going on at most 1 date a month with Tinder.

At this point, I had refused to pay for a subscription because it felt cringe/sad as a reasonably attractive guy who doesn’t have terrible luck dating in real life. At some point I got over my dumb ego and paid for the highest tier subscription—cause, hey, why not? I kid you not the number of matches I got went up 10x. I would swipe on someone and match within 30 mns vs 1 week 1 month later. I had multiple dates a week, more dates than I’d ever had in my life. And eventually met my current girlfriend.

My point: the game is clearly rigged. Nothing about me changed. My behavior using the app, my physical appearance, my bio were all the same. As soon as I gave them my money Tinder flipped a switch and my profile which was likely barely being placed in front of women was now pushed front and center.

Anybody else find it a tad hypocritical when central banks are not beholden to such requirements?
If you put your real phone number in your Resume and share it with a recruiter, consider your phone number public.

Also LinkedIn will give away your contact details.

Your Bank or any service important to you may get hacked and your phone number leaked.
Reddit's ToS require all users to be 13 or older. There is no other requirement to be a moderator, and moderation is independently managed by each subreddit. Reddit tends to be very hands-off with interfering with who moderates a subreddit, for both better and worse.
Looking at the Amazon blurb, I think you're right. It looks interesting. I'll check it out, thanks!
I think the idea is to give your real email and phone number to real friends and family; then you use the relayed one with online services who might sell or lose the data. Then you could presumably ditch the related info after the spam gets to be too much? Or maybe you just do it to be more anonymous?

It’s like the concept of a “burner phone” I think
In my opinion that was a very clever naming scheme to target the TeamSpeak crowd. In gaming communities, having “your own server” has always come with a sense of pride.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect

The Matthew effect of accumulated advantage, Matthew principle, or Matthew effect for short, is sometimes summarized by the adage "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". The concept is applicable to matters of fame or status, but may also be applied literally to cumulative advantage of economic capital. In the beginning, Matthew effects were primarily focused on the inequality in the way scientists were recognized for their work. However, Norman W. Storer, of Columbia University, led a new wave of research. He believed he discovered that the inequality that existed in the social sciences also existed in other institutions.
> Why there are no water storages on the roof.

Depends on the area, but sometimes collecting rain water is illegal.

The other issue is that when dealing with rainwater, you need to clean it. Untreated, rainwater will likely develop a bad case of algae.
New buildings are continuously built as we developer new land or redevelop old land. These need sprinklers.

The companies mentioned in the article are all about detecting/managing a mega-fire once detected. If we "end" mega-fires, there's no business in detecting/managing them.

But, that's a pretty cynical view of these businesses. Maybe I'm just not jaded enough yet.
There is no mechanism to enable mods to edit user posts. If what you're saying is correct, it would be quite the controversy.

Not worth it. I have a Google Voice number (free, easy, good UX). Now it’s a constant juggle of “which number did I give”. Especially since you presumably have already given away your current number. Even if you go all-in on burner number, there’s a question of longevity and risk. Do you give it to government? Do you give it to banks? Etc
Let's also not deny that this is hilarious.

If you view it as parody rather than looking at what it lacks in realism, I'd say it did a very good job.
IANAL but a potential violation of 18 U.S. Code §953 and maybe even Section 612(a) of FARA too? Did he not even bother consulting an attorney before attempting to barter international "peace" deals?

Edit:

18 U.S. Code §953 Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

FARA 612(a) mandates that anyone acting on the behalf of or advocating for a foreign government must register with the feds. Michael Flynn had been nailed on this one.
I'm having difficulty seeing how this comment relates to the post.
The easy solve for this is choosing to live somewhere where activity is baked into your lifestyle. I haven't 'exercised' in the gym-going sense in years. BUT, I chose to live in a location that allows us to be a single-car HH. So I have 40m per day of 'activity' doing my daily errands on the bike on week days. And on weekends we typically do one or two walks, and once a week I have an indoor soccer. It takes no effort to do something 'extra' to do this once you realize that cars are cancer.
That may be true in the technical sense, but discord uses the term "server" to refer to the collection of channels (text and voice) that it allows you to create. i.e. individual discord communities are called "servers".

It might not square with the traditional hardware definition of the the word, but it's being used correctly here.
Stopped submitting those. Takes way too much time to gather everything relevant and not get any response.

Apples software quality is pretty shitty these days
Pano will have a great business even if megafires are ended, since fire will always be a part of the landscape. One of their major usecases is monitoring controlled burns.
> Which violates a number of Reddit's conflict of interest rules for moderators.

Those don't exist. There is something called the "Reddiquette" which is by the community and completely informal.

Subreddits owned by companies is the new normal and if you look at games, most reddit users these days even prefer it to community-run ones. Not uncommon to have two subreddits at a launch of a game and the unofficial one will always "lose".

Besides that, Reddit itself reaches out to brands & product owners and influencers to make official subs for them, managed by those entities then.

Subreddits are the new Facebook Groups and Reddit is completely "mainstream". I wonder what's next in a couple of years. Maybe we can go back to forums :)
I mean the entire premise of wearing something that fools the classifier and not the camera. I see visual attacks as a cat and mouse game except the cat can see you when you move the wrong way or someone shines a light on you. I get that security always has been and always will be a cat and mouse game, but this seems like a path where the cat is always going to have huge advantages.

Okay - how about tagging and non-complex searches then. Beggars can't be choosers :-)

Really what I'd like is just to search for some specific tags, or maybe list a directory excluding some tag, or similar. For bonus points, maybe a virtual directory that represents a search like this, and which "contains" the results of that search. (A "Search Folder")

I'll check out BeFS. Thanks!
On the internet nobody knows you're a dog.
This needs more informative title.
I think the commenter meant why did you choose to show a non-perfect example of your software working? It missed a few faces in the black and white picture.
For those interested, https://indieweb.org/POSSE may be of use.

The idea is you'd publish on your own web server, and syndicate to other services that could maintain under pressure, etc.

I think that for many people, setting it up at home is "Good enough" and if you get slash dotted, well then you can deal with it at that point.
I own my network (ARIN registered) so unless they talk to our several ISPs and get our routes withdrawn we're basically the last line. I suppose the answer was always, "talk to a lawyer". It's a shame that it's so expensive.
If y'all are interested in something like this, let me know. I wrote a service exactly like this [0] and it sort of flopped because the marketing plan was bad and I struggled to crack my (poorly chosen) target market of 'privacyfreaks'.

If you want to re-co-found with me on marketing / sales, hit me up: maddie+hn[at]qnzl.co. I tried some pivots, sucked at marketing it, I occasionally get asked about where it went.

If anyone wants to run their own instance using Twilio, I open-sourced the basic structure of my previous service [1] so it should be fairly plug-and-play to do this cheaper ($1 per number + small usage fee) and for more numbers.

My caveat about this is some services will silently ignore you if you try to use a virtual number. It's more useful for IRL where you don't want to throw your real number around much.

Did you just put Steven Pinker and Daniel Dennett in "a gang" ?

Wash out your mouth with soap, this instant!

Seriously, is there anything that connects these two other than having written some reasonably accessible books on matters in the realm of cognitive science?
Yeah what makes this story interesting is that these emails and leak are (largely) fabricated. See

https://twitter.com/swodinsky/status/1579847763499847681?s=4...

another giveaway is the missing article in the headline quote - very common with Indian speakers of English, very rare for a Western speaker.
I think what we're seeing is just an increase in the power envelope: more power for more performance.

Efficiency should be better than previous gens, at least this was the case for the CPUs I looked at (looking at their power efficiency ratings at full TDP they're hard to tell).

Marginal efficiency is lower when the power envelope is expanded to make these higher performance numbers achievable.

I'd wager that performance matched, these "power hungry" current gen GPUs/CPUs would show better efficiency than previous gens.
Nice! I hadn't read this counter argument. I would say I still think their articles gave an interesting look into how humans behaved online, however skewed it may be. Clickbait is well known now and I do recall they were one of the first to talk about the "MySpace angle" photos not being considered good (again, potentially skewed for views).
Agreed. I've found some value in years of XP but its very contextual. It feels like its used as gating many times vs depth of experience. Have come across and promoted many seniors with lesser years that have the experience and talent to put their money where their mouth is. And... plenty of 20-30 year veterans that are not good at all.

One framing I like to use when asked about junior and upwards is at the junior level you are focused on self success which is learning skills, building knowledge on how to develop software, the SDLC processes, estimation, and consistency. The higher you go the responsibility set grows to impact other developers on the team and products to a higher degree. Further is expanding horizontal and depth impact where you impact other teams and larger parts of the organization.

Last is that you don't have to be a senior to act senior but for them it is explicit responsibilities.
OP handed over the subreddit willingly and did not say they wanted it back... There really isn't a big deal other than supposed possible censorship and conflict of interest, but AFAIK there's been no hate threads censored anyway. The only thing "censored" was auto's webUI being removed from the stickied guide and the illegal novelAI leak torrent being removed.
I haven't played "until you fall". Maybe I'll try it.

I've tried closing my eyes. It makes it slightly tolerable, but it's definitely not anything I'd call a "good" experience. If I have to fight against the UI just to make it usable to allegedly experience "entertainment", I'll probably just skip it and call it a day.
Ok here is my followup. I didn't go into detail about kea hooks [0] because I didn't write any kea hook before, but from what I can tell it should cover all your needs. You have to write c code which I find absurd tbh, but if it has the functionality you are looking for it could be a solution.

I already posted my dnsmasq "solution" so I will skip this. If you want a code example I could whip you one up.

Then there is coredhcp [1] and you can write plugins written in go for it.

From time to time some hobby dhcp server pop up, but most fade away since (I guess) the existing solutions are "good enough". I for instance implement a automatic provisioning and configurating dhcp setup with tftp and pxe boot using dnsmasq. It automatically creates pxe configs based on the mac address and some other stuff (tm). Kea seemed overkill for this usecase and I'm quite happy with what I got.

Your use case of automatically fixing hostnames through ISC seems a bit overkill to me as well to be frank. My home network has a few VLANs and every device in it is managed manually. It's a one time setup and most automation is unnecessary (and some devices in my network flatout ignore some dhcp options....). Aaaaanyway I still think that most dhcp servers out there support some form of scripting (heck even udhcpcd has a lease notify script that could be hacked to offer some of that functionality even though this gets only executed after the fact so a bit useless [2]).

> oh wait, I wonder how much ISC was paid … to do exactly this EOL … by these major ISPs?

I don't know. Nothing?

> Plausible future: I can envision a special DHCP vendor-specific OPTION to use time-based blockchain hash to further solidify their hold.

Reading your cynic banter I'm quite happy of not having your DHCP problems. Looking through your github repositories I can find a bunch of configuration files for dhclient, but not much in form of ISC configs (only the nintendo fix you posted in your first post). Would be really interested in your setup.

The problem is that we don't allow stuff to burn naturally, so the answer is we should mess with nature even more.

Amazing how humans just can't let anything alone. In 100 years the whole planet will just be one giant bonsai.
I still have a hard time believing that the opening of the script was auto-generated. Did GPT-3 really generate the part about the movie Ghost? If so, it has a surprising amount of understanding of what it's generating.
The fundamental motivation for the app id concept is that part of the value that InboxSDK provides is cushioning the developer from version conflicts, both from Gmail updates and from multiple extensions that all use InboxSDK. So we use app ids + a custom error reporting mechanism to aggregate anonymized error reports in order to figure out incompatibilities + reach out to the developer as appropriate.

You're welcome to make the app id opaque. Also feel free to file an issue for making a setting to disable the app id - definitely not opposed to adding it as an option given interest.

2-3 years ago you could use a GPS faker, stay somewhere random a week and then return and you'd have many matches again.

I experimented a lot with it because I used to work at a different online dating company (where I was also doing scummy things).

When I’m back at my computer I’m going to reply in thread, ha. It’s very strange to see something you’ve written being presented as authoritatively saying something you didn’t say!

(And it’s more than those two things, but you’re still right in general that unsafe adds, it does not remove.)
Sounds good in theory, but consider two dating apps: one with hockey stick user growth and high retention, and another with stagnant growth but high user churn. Which one would get the VC dollars? The story you tell would present itself in metrics as the latter app (high churn).
The formatter macro is an exercise in Lisp, but an interpretive format doesn't even have to be written in Lisp.
A Discord "server" is a colloquial term for the community space. The nitpick is meaningless, I could have an AWS "server", but at the end of the day we both know it's a virtual instance that sits on an actual server.

My point exactly: it shares a lot of similarity to PCs in the early 90s
The Little Schemer is probably this.
It's nice if you can pay close attention to the weather, play it safe, and never actually crash. But it's also nice if you don't lose too many potential customers, due to "they always seem to be delaying or canceling flights, due to the weather...".
reddit mod management is a bit haywire. I am mod at a rather largish subreddit (> 750K subs/readers), and despite the top mod being gone from the subreddit for something like 6? years now and virtually inactive on reddit, I can't get him removed. I've gone through channels but, sigh.
I mean, in a way yes. For example, super easy to delete your account. No dark patterns or hoops to jump through. Also, the profiles themselves are pretty minimal - they are like ads, and are practically disposable as such. Once I got what I came for, I just threw it out.
Could you link to the Mod Summit your talking about? I wonder if 'sub transitions' is code for stealing subreddits from mods the admins don't politically agree with.

yeah they're creating geothermal reservoirs to pump with water to then extract steam. any excess energy generated from renewables gets used to pump additional water into the reservoir.
Depending on the details it could conceivably be a FARA (Foreign Agents Registration Act) violation. But, much more realistically, he could have his security clearance revoked [0] as a sort of penalty if some government folks are unhappy enough.

This service seems interesting for people who are establishing net new phone numbers, but for those of us who have existing numbers they've been using, the barn door is already open. This wouldn't get us off existing lists.
Damn, Emad seems sort of clueless? Hard rules about software piracy like that feel very 90's and totally unnecessary. Just avoid explicitly condoning any projects and move past it! It will be old news in like 2 weeks at the current rate of things.
That's the thing that sucks about titles. Editors choose them, the journalist has zero control over them, and they test different variations on the site and then settle on the one with the most clickthroughs.

Definitely lots of cases of Op-Ed contributors, especially, unhappy with seemingly borderline misleading titles given to their pieces.

I don't mind it too much as a reader, but it can suck as a contributor because everyone thinks they're your words.
Thank you for creating redblob -- I've personally benefited from that resource, and TIL that you explicitly designed it for longevity (which makes sense in hindsight).
No necessary bad or evil. However perception of intentions here dont give a good feeling. Better to investigate more.
So, to summarize: Both Reddit and Discord force transfered seemingly officially named communities to the trademark owning entity. That sucks, but it’s also something that social media companies have been doing 10 times a week since forever. Is there something special about this instance that makes it news?
Exactly. This intentional lie by Discord is to abuse the connotations associated with the idea of having a "server" that existed with teamspeak/mumble/etc. But since it's not actually a server in any way, just a service, users act shocked when Discord takes away their community on a whim.
Nilfs baseline (write throughput especially) is slow as shit compared to other filesystems including f2fs. So just because you have this feature that doesn’t make it even slower isn’t that interesting - you pay for it one way or the other.
And bringing a few zillions Watts to the charging station has already been solved, technically.

If a fast-fast charging station takes 15 minutes and has 360 kW :

https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/fastest-ev-charging-stati...

to charge in 5 minutes it will take around 1000 kW for each column, a 4 vehicle one will need 4000 kW, which compares to what, 500-1000 houses?

BTW I doubt that current batteries will like to be charged this way.

One really nice "everyday" example that comes from Idris that I really like is the ability to typecheck a printf function. You provide the format string, and then the typechecker will know what to expect from the rest of the arguments!

Usually that is implemented in C compilers, so that "printf("%d", 2.3f)" becomes an error, but with dependent types you can do it on the user level in library code.
Sorry to hear that :(

Is there anything you use to detect light like this? Digital spectrum meters or UV detector keychain etc.
I remember home hosting fondly too.

Every so often I think about doing it again, but security paranoia keeps me from it. What if they broke out somehow? I could DMZ it I guess.
One thing I find frustrating in the discussion of wildfire is that it frequently dumbs down to one thing vs another, usually "We must treat the landscape with thinning and prescribed fire" vs "We need better firefighting resources and equipment". This is a false choice and we need both.

The principle of Defense in Depth in infosec is illustrative. No one would debate whether or not you need secure passwords vs role-based permissions. You obviously need both and they reinforce each other.

The same is true in fire. To end megafires, we need:
1) Landscape Management
2) Community Resilience
3) Fast & aggressive suppression

Better technology can help play a role at all three levels.
Name one then.
