> What way would someone want to use a web service where the admin knowing their password

Unfortunately the people who have to use software are often not the people responsible choosing it!

> where the admin knowing their password is a requirement

For creating fresh accounts this is less of an issue than once the account has access to real data that has already been entered, so all the admin can get by knowing the password at this point is the information they already had to create the profile and account with. While still not good design it is at least mitigated somewhat in practise. The main issue this behaviour-as-designed introduces is one new user being able to guess another new user's password. The danger this poses can be reduced by forcing the user to choose a new password on first login, before any information is entered, but it still isn't good design to even need this mitigation. If the software is badly arranged enough that the admin knows the password instead of it being generated and sent to the target user without the admin being any the wiser, then it may be that the “force change on first login” option is missing too.
> But if you block Tutanota the fraudsters will just switch to Gmail

Yet for some reason they're not already using gmail, meaning as far as frausters are concerned there is a benefit to using tutanota.

> and all you accomplished is that you inconvenienced legit Tutanota users.

No what you've accomplished is reduce tutanota fraud to 0, and inconvenienced frausters.

> The internet (AI powered or not) will never be wise.

Remember when everyone was all about "the wisdom of crowds," when talking about social media? Yeah, that isn't something anyone says or thinks about now. How quickly did that meme die? And if AI is built from that data, by definition, it cannot be wise.

As Solomon realized, wisdom is a very powerful virtue.
Actually, the way I learned it in probably the '80s was that during the colonial era in the Northeast US, the indigenous peoples (Indians) would resume attacks against frontier colonists during late-autumn thaws (cold weather typically preempted organized war parties).

ChatGPT Wrote My AP English Essay–and I Passed
I don't have this issue with the Ooni. I wonder what is going on.

One thing to consider trying, heat it up at high heat and then when you put the pizza in, try turning the temperature down to a medium or low.

I am wondering if it is possible that the high temperature reading is directly from the flame and by turning it down during the cook, you'll have a more consistent temperature.
Weird question: What would happen if the president ordered the destruction of all records of the loans, payments, balances and other paperwork in federal hands (edit: I should have been specific and said I meant student loans, not just everything...)? As POTUS that seems like something he is free to do right? And it would make it all but impossible to actually enforce any existing debts right? You cannot sue someone if you don't have a contract or a record of payments etc.
lol, this was the pre-Internet problem. It usually went like this...

>"Why would you want to do that?"
because it seems like the right thing to do? Is there a better way.

>"What's this for?"
the boss wants it

>"Did you try searching before asking such a stupid question?"
I read the manual and thought about it a lot (remember this was pre-Internet)

so, there was a lot of "rough" hand-holding to learn the ropes for edge cases.
If I could change your mind would we still be doomed?
I think y'all are just fundamentally working from different starting points. Sure, if part of the agreement when I bought a property was "government guarantee that they would be able to live in quiet and peace", then enforcing that makes sense. But in the US, there is no such general guarantee.
Thanks for the stories!
Good luck getting money from Philly. Philly is one of the poorest big cities. They certainly don't have money for anything like this. Better off looking for grants from rich people who work in Philly (I didn't say residents because most of them choose to live outside the city in places like Radnor).
They don’t. They just measure that the more “modern” design gets 5% more users, so clearly it must be better.
Well, there's a reason ChatGPT delivers this kind of content. It's what is was trained into, and it's just rewiring the logic in the facts it was given.

(It's very impressive how it rewires the logic, but it can't really know anything, by design.)

And yes, that horizon is very real. It's what the internet rewards, so it's what almost everybody delivers.
You should consider linking to your Mastodon profile in your blog. I didn't see it in that post, or in your "About" page.
HF datasets have a much better UX for this
Typescript docs are fantastic.
Why do you need to paint all males with the same brush? If what you've described is "applied feminism", I'd strongly suggest you take a hard look at your own sexism (and genocidal tendencies). I've no horse in this race, but such rhetoric is toxic and unwelcome on hacker news.
OP doesn't provide any details or methodology which was used to get to the conclusion about larger STL headers being the culprit for build-time regression in only 1 out of 11 cases.

I'm personally not convinced and I wonder why other 10 projects didn't suffer from the same problem?

I would love to see the claim supported and checked by recompiling 7zip with -ftime-trace and then post-processed through ninjatracing to get the nice and detailed flamegraph depicting where exactly the build-time is spent. It's surprising that this hasn't been done already.

Also, I think that the project sample distribution is not convincing. 9 out of 11 are rather very very small and roughly the same sized projects. Remaining two are not very very small but are still very small. So experiments are by definition made biased by not making better care of dataset distribution.
Ah okay, that makes sense. Sorry for my confusion!
There's also a high chance that even if the .doc file is readable, that it'll be displayed incorrectly, even if the user is opening it with Word but especially if they're using something else that can open Word docs (WordPad, TextEdit, LibreOffice, Pages, and many others).

Absolutely agree that PDF is the best choice. Readable and correctly renderable by just about everything, and even fixes the problem of missing fonts.

The safe zone is great for focused content you need or want to make visible such as legal disclaimers, title cards, or ads but it's not really that great of an approach when it comes to positioning subtitles in the actual content since it means you're intentionally overlaying blocks of text over where you just said the most visible regions of the picture are. Sure it's great for making sure the captions are visible the 1% of time you're interacting with the video UI but a horrible trade-off for the 99% of time you're trying to actually watch the content. Ideally of all situations the content has positioning info for the captions but barring that nicety doing what YouTube does and be smart enough to offset the captions when you want to display controls is the only other good way to do it.

Now if you want to get fancy and meet up with what analog TVs from the 90s did you can allow the user to customize and override the subtitle rendering too. I'm trying to remember which streaming service had the most extensive options (it might have been Amazon?) that let you set the foreground/background color, transparency level, position, size, weight, and maybe even font. It'd be nice if at least some of those preferences were part of things like Web VTT standards so they followed you across your browser.
I see. So it was more about capturing the cells with the desired chromosomes and converting them to stem cells than about creating cells with the desired chromosomes. Thank you for your explanation!

Your car didn’t run for 10 years without any maintenance. It’s not unreasonable to expect someone to click build once a decade either.
I don't believe there will be a new CEO. Elon is deflecting quite a bit: 1) questioning the legitimacy of the poll 2) stating that no one is qualified to run twitter.

I would say he's correct in one sense about the media: everything they publish about him is fake because he's a liar that can't be trusted.

I agree with you that it would insane for a CEO to take the job. What would even be the purpose of the CEO? Elon would continue to destroy advertiser relationships and make decisions without consulting the CEO.
>We're talking about software developers, not wizards. It's not like you have to offer a dram of blood and draw a pentagram with salt before you approach the ancient grimoires.

Back then, it seemed a lot like that!
My understanding is that the master switch for sex determination has been identified as the "SRY" gene normally found on the Y chromosome. Active SRY means development heads down the "male" path in the genes; no SRY (or non-functional SRY) means development heads down the "female" path.

SRY can cross over to the X chromosome (resulting in an XX male), but the end result is usually sterile as there are other genes elsewhere on the Y chromosome that are also necessary for complete development.

Obama Phone Lady as evidence of fraud.... laughable.

I used to sell Lifeline phones into certain carriers back in 2009 - 2012 when I worked with various phone OEMs. I can see where some phone resellers could create some fraud.

But the government is not involved. They merely subsidize the program.
About a third of our company uses PC or Chromebook, so I guess they're out of luck? Imagine trying to use this with a vendor or a client, and they can't get into the session, ugh.

What people want in a collaboration session is low barrier to entry: everybody should just click a thing and be in the session without having to do anything else, or be signed up for anything, or own anything they don't already own. I don't see that this provides that.

Figjam is far from perfect, but at least it gets that right.
I've been pronouncing it as "zeesh" in my head, which works well for me. I think I got that from a coworker? Not sure. Works fairly well with "oh my zeesh" as well, which I like.
Sure but they're also enacting their will on someone through a social construct (the legal system) designed by society to enact the popular will on individuals.

If you live next to someone concerned about their investment, perhaps you should consider what mechanisms exist to prevent you from using your property in a way that would affect their investment.

This kind of argument can go on and on forever because there's no right answer. The homeowner can do what they want within the confines of the legal system on their property, and the investor can do what they want within the confines of the legal system to protect their investment.
You can tell the law's premise (It's about people dumping chemicals! Think about the $HealthConcerns!vague, gasp) is a bunch of nonsense by how its actions (No maintaining cars) don't actually address those concerns directly. Hell, the premise CLAIMS that it's about dangerous chemicals, but still allows the most common interaction with dangerous chemicals a normal car owner will perform (an oil change),

There has to be a term for this. It's super common, but I don't think "Disingenuous lie of a piece of legislation" rolls off the tongue as well as a proper term for a law which is defined/described to perform one function but is obviously meant to perform another.

The premise is also completely unenforceable. Who's going to go into someone's garage and inspect the state of their vehicles to determine if they're in a state of (active or not) disrepair and being worked on, or if "Ted Across The Street Opened His Garage Door And It's Messy In There How Uncouth"?

How My Double Name Made Me a Better SWE
Thanks, this is super helpful! I had never thought of a bluetooth car remote, but it does look like it could be a good solution. I'm actually thinking of upgrading my AirPods to the 2nd gen, which offers built-in controls and would reduce my reliance on the watch's controls.

Do you have any concerns about location data or other data being sent off to China? I had thought it would be enough to forbid the mobile app from having my exact GPS location, but I later realized the watch has GPS and can report that to the app, which can then send it anywhere. I don't know how carefully Apple looks after private data that is collected by a peripheral device.
I am not sure what your search for "simplest circuit" is as there are many defintions I would need to know first, e.g AC vs DC, power level, etc. to narrow it down.

Like others mentioned it is a about measuring voltage*current.

I found this video for low power DC measurements helpful as well

> Of course the law didn’t exist before it was written, but copying others’ content was viewed as stealing,

But the first copyright laws in Britain gave no rights at all to creators.

They weren’t about moral rights founded in creation of works, the basis of rights was the capital investment of setting up to print the work.
Who do you suppose offshored our jobs while protecting their backyards? I'm guessing that it was rich people running corporations.

Parents complaint is that paying lip service to FOSS is exactly the "extend" part of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish".

A mantra that was famously internally coined at Microsoft[0], and was found during anti-monopoly proceedings.

As such they will always be looked at skeptically when adding proprietary things to open source things.

Insight isn’t dead just hibernating which both MERs did several times.

If Insight dies then Spirit will have lasted 50% longer and opportunity significantly longer, but both rovers lost quite a bit of functionality over time. So, the difference isn’t as stark as you might assume when you consider how much time rovers spent with reduced power or hibernating, stuck, etc.
I would love to be limited by drivability rather than by economics from getting my hand on a Can-Am car. Good for you!
Musk suggested Lex Fridman would need to plow his life savings into Twitter to become CEO. It doesn't sound like Elon is going to be offering anything like the impressive stock compensation package that he got at Tesla. He wants someone that is going to sacrifice for his vision.
Thx. Nothing for me as I need direct push. But thx for the suggestion.
If you read my other comment, you can see we are 180° apart… or are we? I want a smooth path through a miserable situation, so I take the best option available.

There’s no way security lines are slow so-and-only-so that Clear may exist; slow seems inevitable.

How may I help bring about this world of line-free travel for all?
Nope. We just told the bank that we had a medical bankruptcy and they said "it happens all the time..." and proceeded with no issues.
More schooling won’t help you stay employable. Work at jobs that use newer, widely used technologies, and don’t let yourself stagnate. Develop a variety of skills and keep on eye on whether your team, company, or you personally are getting into a rut.
Meh. The moment I, for any reason, cannot collaborate unless I get my hands on a computer it stops being collaborative.

Or not. 'Collaborative' doesn't mean 'accessible by anyone'. Collaborative just means capable of supporting two or more parties working together, and freeform clearly meets the criteria...
How long before someone with less-than-good intentions walks up and starts using this phone in ways that the creators didn't intend, and it has to be shut down?
Glad to see someone trying to reverse engineer it somewhat. We had a lot of approaches to clone it: Shumway, Ruffle, cross-compile through Haxe and OpenFL, but we are still not complete. And open-source AIR can be just a dream.
That was much later, in the mid 90s. But who did have threads in the mid 80s was Erlang which back then only existed in Ericsson's research lab. Ericsson had anpther internal language which Erlang drev inspiration from which also had support for concurrency.
Pfizer product issues:

During the mid-1980s, watchdog organizations such as the Public Citizen Health Research Group charged that Pfizer’s widely prescribed arthritis drug Feldene created a high risk of gastrointestinal bleeding among the elderly, but the federal government, despite reports of scores of fatalities, declined to put restrictions on the medication. A June 1986 article in The Progressive about Feldene was headlined DEATH BY PRESCRIPTION.

The Food and Drug Administration expressed greater concern about reports of dozens of fatalities linked to heart valves made by Pfizer’s Shiley division. In 1986, as the death toll reached 125, Pfizer ended production of all models of the valves. Yet by that point they were implanted in tens of thousands of people, who worried that the devices could fracture and fail at any moment.

In 1991 an FDA task force charged that Shiley had withheld information about safety problems from regulators in order to get initial approval for its valves and that the company continued to keep the FDA in the dark. A November 7, 1991 investigation in the Wall Street Journal asserted that Shiley had been deliberately falsifying manufacturing records relating to valve fractures.

Faced with this growing scandal, Pfizer announced that it would spend up to $205 million to settle the tens of thousands of valve lawsuits that had been filed against it. Even so, Pfizer resisted complying with an FDA order that it notify patients of new findings that there was a greater risk of fatal fractures in those who had the valve installed before the age of 50. In 1994 the company agreed to pay $10.75 million to settle Justice Department charges that it lied to regulators in seeking approval for the valves; it also agreed to pay $9 million to monitor valve patients at Veterans Administration hospitals or pay for removal of the device.

In 2004 Pfizer announced that it had reached a $60 million settlement of a class-action suit brought by users of Rezulin, a diabetes medication developed by Warner-Lambert, which had withdrawn it from the market shortly before the company was acquired by Pfizer in 2000. The withdrawal came after scores of patients died from acute liver failure said to be caused by the drug.

In 2004, in the wake of revelations about dangerous side effects of Merck’s painkiller Vioxx, Pfizer agreed to suspend television advertising for a related medication called Celebrex. The following year, Pfizer admitted that a 1999 clinical trial found that elderly patients taking Celebrex had a greatly elevated risk of heart problems.

In 2005 Pfizer withdrew another painkiller, Bextra, from the market after the FDA mandated a “black box” warning about the cardiovascular and gastrointestinal risks of the medication. In 2008 Pfizer announced that it was setting aside $894 million to settle the lawsuits that had been filed in connection with Bextra and Celebrex.
I'd love to do that. It's also too bad that you can't manually engage the lock as a safety feature.
One of my tests for a law is: "If this law were enforced 100% (regardless of feasibility of doing so) would we still want this law?"

Otherwise, we're asking for selective, discriminatory enforcement, and also overly-strict laws which we tolerate because they aren't enforced much. $250k and/or 5 years in prison for some ripped MP3's anyone? Not enforced much, so we tolerate it. But if enforced 100% how would we feel about it?
Well, how do you reliably trust anything?

I've never seen a handbook that led anyone "wildly astray". They're put out by major academic publishers (Oxford, Routledge, etc.) who hire (publishing) editors qualified to select qualified (academic) editors to select qualified chapter contributors. It's not like they're randos self-publishing or something.

The entire point is to be a fairly neutral, comprehensive state of whatever field or subfield the handbook covers. And they generally do a pretty good job. A place like Oxford is never going to publish a handbook that's trying to push some ideological agenda and ignoring half the field.

But if you don't trust the senior editors at major academic presses, then I don't know what to tell you.

And since you've never heard of handbooks, see my peer comment with links so you can see they exist. :)
Remember that in many cases security fixes involve architectural improvements. You can get those by installing the free system updates and those don’t break existing functionality so it’s understandable that they don’t double the workload by patching very old releases, especially since that’s paying more to have a slower phone with fewer features.
