"making shit up"

I don't have a process, I just don't think they are spending a huge amount of time on a 0.02% holding. Like hey, maybe they do have special insight and are not just acknowledging a disaster by hugely marking down their estimate.
For personal stuff, it is daunting but degoogling is definitely sustainable. I have been unsuccessful getting every person to contact me on my new email no matter how many times I remind them though. There are great ecosystems out there for contacts, maps, storage, whatever, that don't rely on google, and if the spam bothers you, I recommend giving it a go for awhile to see. Change the email last though in case you decide not to make the change so you don't have to tell people twice to change their contact for you. For the people who don't change their contact for you, you can make a quick filter in gmail to forward mail from them to your new email, respond from that, and maybe they'll change your contact someday.

Also if you don't want to completely degoogle but just want to rid yourself of some of the spam, you can use services from other ecosystems, as part of a suite, and connect the email from that suite to a google account, so you can still use googles' services and the other suites' services. Then when randos add you to things like spam in your calendar, you won't actually see it because you are using a calendar from a different suite.
I wonder if any companies have considered publishing warrant canaries as part of their public securities filings (for example, inserting it into the risk factors sections).

There is a fairly reasonable argument one could make for doing so:

- The company's value is tied to its reputation for securing its users' data

- An NSL or similar would risk their users' security and the company's reputation

- This will affect the value of the enterprise and therefore the existence of an NSL ought to be disclosed to investors

However at the meta-level, this would be a substantial escalation since an order to continue publishing a canary is no longer just compelled lying, but compelled securities fraud, effectively pitting one branch of government (the national security apparatus) with another (the SEC).

> Only if you view the world as a first year poly sci major with a penchant for Marx

> The world is way more complex than just "class".

You don't have to be a Marxist to recognize that class is one of the most important characteristics of our society. A black woman living in poverty has far more in common with a white man living in poverty than an upper-class Ivy-league educated black man. People are systemically exploited and robbed of the value they create and deserve. Some of the hardest working people, who provide essential services, struggle to stay afloat.

I am by no means a Marxist or Communist, I just grew up under the poverty line and recognize how fortunate I have been in my life compared to many other people. I'd encourage you to reflect on your own fortune and have more empathy for those who are less fortunate.

From my experience working with ChatGPT, I believe that it exhibits many of the characteristics of AGI. For example, it can correctly interpret and parse novel requests, complete tasks that are virtually impossible for a machine to accomplish (example below), perform at the level of an average high school student in most areas, demonstrate judgment and opinion (go ahead, ask it to give you an opinion about something you propose to it), and assemble plans for novel situations. However, ChatGPT still has limitations, such as difficulty with numeracy, handling individual characters, and visual tasks. It's also worth noting that ChatGPT's mistakes sometimes sound like those of a child, and it can sometimes produce code that needs minor changes to work. Despite these obvious shortcomings, it passes my personal standard for the first demonstration of limited AGI.

> Why is it that Safari gets dragged for not supporting an endless rabbit hole of “web app” standards

Because there's a contingent of loud HNers who reflexively drag Apple and Safari because they believe:

A. Apple is intentionally limiting Safari to protect its App Store business

B. Apple is some kind of illegal monopoly for only allowing (for now) WebKit as the browser engine on iOS and iPadOS; therefore Apple is evil.

C. Safari is still the buggy and slow to adopt web standards browser from 5 years ago, even though most of them haven't used or tested against it since then. Some of these people claim Safari is the new IE; either they have amnesia or weren't doing web development when IE 6 was the bane of every developer's existence; otherwise they would know better.

D. All the above… and more.

> nobody cares that Chrome and Firefox haven’t found the time to get P3 color working in five or six years?

Unfortunately because Chrome has approximately 70% of the browser market and Firefox's marketshare is in the single digits, if a feature doesn't ship in either browser, it's like the feature itself doesn't exist.

Same thing with the :has() selector… the most anticipated CSS feature probably ever. Safari shipped it in March of 2022 and usual suspects acted like it was no big deal. Chrome didn't ship it until the end of August and Firefox still hasn't shipped.

And even though progressive enhancement is a thing, many of the most vocal posters on HN don't seem to practice it.

They could use the following media query to test for a P3 display, supported by Chrome and Safari:

Operator overloading is syntax; lazy evaluation is semantics.
My experience with AWS support is that they ask you if your issue has been resolved, and then let you close the ticket.

But it sounds like GCP just closes the ticket for you if the support guy think it's not an issue, even if you disagree, there's no conversation to be had?
> Also, Ukraine striking Russia would erode international support for it, and be a fantastic domestic propaganda opportunity for Russia.

Ukraine has been striking inside Russia proper since at least April. Ukraine has every right to strike back at Russia, at Russian military installations inside Russia.

Instead of keeping the actual proportion of black residents, the data set contains a presumed model B of how housing prices change as black resident population moves away from 63%. The problem is B gives you the same answer for 62% and 64% of black population, so you can recover the actual proportion.

Science has given many things, and as a professional research scientist, I help it continue to do so. I by no means think science should go away.

However, it also created the ability for humanity to destroy itself: the nuclear bomb, climate change, and plenty of other existential threats.

Also there are plenty of non-tech tribes which display tremendous lifespans. To my knowledge, the common threads among centenarians is not usually tech or globalisation driven. Often they’re religious and they’re very often closely knit with their local communities.

The jury is still out on whether science is net positive. We’re only a few hundreds if years in (12,000 if you want to start with the dawn of technology…being the plow).

It’s made lives better and worse while simultaneously significantly decreasing the amount and depth to which humans believe they have a purpose, a pursuit I feel science has made little to no progress on.

But my stronger point is that magical thinking was naturally selected (as in natural selection) to be almost universally advantageous for the first 99% of human existence. I’m not sure our 1% experiment with a scientific society is as of yet conclusively better. We’ve almost made humans extinct. We might still. I don’t know of a magical belief (karma, etc.) that has put humanity in such a grave threat as the Cold War or climate change, for example.

One of the most soulless companies in Canada has a special department you can contact for any complaints or questions and they will do everything in their power to make things right or answer your questions in a timely manner. The trick is that it's not well-known and not accessible through their normal abysmal customer service channels.

There are absolutely people that care in many organizations, if you can find them. Usually searching for "ombudsman" or "corporate secretary" will lead you in the right direction.

Hey! Chief Architect at Storj here.

Data on Storj is by default end-to-end encrypted with keys only the data owner controls (with optional support for sharing features). Only the data owner can decide who to share the keys with and who can see the data. Put another way, Storj can’t access data without the data owner sharing keys and access!

However, if the owner shares the encryption keys and provides access to others, it can be further distributed by others. Storj does not allow illegal content per our terms of use and conditions. If someone has stored potentially illegal content and shared it with others, law enforcement may seek to obtain information by way of a subpoena, warrant, or other legal process. As you probably know since you're reading this thread, often such inquiries are confidential and the recipients may be prohibited from disclosing their existence.

If you're interested in our encryption and security design decisions, there are a lot more details over at https://www.storj.io/disclosures. Glad you're all paying such detailed attention!
Wow. The complacency of election officials and many advocates for election reform is stunning. Ideas like ranked choices are worse than worthless if you don't implement them correctly. It undermines faith in the entire voting process.
Seeing how I was the odd one out in my generation (poor/large family in the neighborhood) comparing myself to peers I don't see the value of my undirected roaming.

For example I remember having a huge leap in physical abilities when I started takng taekwondo classes around that age. After school activities let me thinker with stuff.

Roaming around was just lack of better things to do. Not really seeing what my peers without those near death experiences missed out on.

Completely agree. Once I discovered Java Streams it became so much more frustrating for me to write Python code that manipulated collections in anything beyond the most trivial of operations.
Fairly certain it was GCC. I managed to find a workaround that did seem to work for ‘isnan’, something along the lines of: !(int(f <= 0.0f) + int(f > 0.0f))
Which only works out to true when f is neither <= 0 or > 0.
When someone picks up you can plead the 5th.
You can define a function anywhere, including in the scope of another function. So it doesn't need to be floating somewhere far away from where it's used. (This is the idiomatic way to write decorators, for example.)
Where I live, the banks won't give you a draught without the recipient's name on it. So you leave the dealership with cashier check in hand and then what? You have to go back and cash it yourself before getting a new one and heading off to the next dealership I guess, because you can't use it anywhere else.

100% cotton isn't really needed as far as fabrics. I actually like that there often is a little polyester mixed in. 10%-40% poly, and most of the remainder in cotton is perfect for socks. As far as socks, these are now often almost 100% polyester, with no cotton; and while they work, they're not nearly as nice as socks with at least 50% cotton. Cotton soaks up a lot more moisture, which is usually a good thing. Poly is lighter, and any moist spandex socks dry faster. The hybrid of poly, spandex, cotton is very nice when done in good ratios.

Rigid expectations may have been more prevalent but they most certainly were also more attainable because the competitive group was smaller.

We once bought an expensive item (~$600, IIRC) as a birthday gift. For some reason it was delayed by several days and was going to arrive after the (milestone) birthday.

Amazon offered to refund it and said we could just keep it. This seemed too good to be true, and it wouldn't have solved the timing problem regardless. We asked if they could expedite the item so it would arrive on time, and they said it wasn't possible. In the confusion, they accidentally re-routed the item as a return, which meant that it was no longer headed to our house at all. Once they realized this, Amazon offered that we could go to a physical store (Tumi, in this case), buy the item, send them the receipt, and they'd reimburse it. They did the reimbursement by refunding a bunch of prior purchases. This was crazy — I'd never heard of such a thing.

At the end of the day, we ended up with the backpack from the Tumi store (fully reimbursed by Amazon), and some extra reimbursements related to the Amazon purchase. It did take a while on the phone (and an hour round-trip to the Tumi store), but we got the gift in time for the birthday.

Amazon doesn't always do a great job at customer service. But sometimes they knock it out of the park!

The users shouldn't use Storj if they mind the possibility of this happening.

Projects like Crust (decentralized encrypted interface to IPFS), for example.

https://medium.com/crustnetwork/crust-devlog-nov-16th-nov-30...

And if you exchange messages and "links" to your files using a network for private messaging (such as xx Network), it's hard to know who is using Crust.

Without decentralized and private data (such as Crust) storage and messaging (such as xx Messenger, Speakeasy) to be able to privately convey information about download links, for users in the West it's safer to encrypt content client-side and upload it to Yandex object storage.

Edit: see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34193555 (comment in this thread) where a Storj dude says if links are shared then there's no privacy, there's only encryption:

> Storj can’t access data without the data owner sharing keys and access!

This misses the point:

- You need a confidential way to share keys and access (xx Network, in my example)

- If you don't have and can't collect the logs of who accessed what (Crust Network, in my example), you won't have this problem

In the example I provided user messages on xx Network are encrypted and stripped of sender/recipient data by distributed, privately owned cMix nodes. There are no logs that say "this user or IP sent or received a message from that user" (let alone what was in it).

As another comment points out, xx Network developers could theoretically be ordered to release an update that would weaken or remove privacy but the network isn't developed by a US or EU company and that wouldn't work for past messages in any case.

I haven't looked at Crust Network in detail but once you have a "link" to a file, because data is sharded among many nodes, there's no way to say what you're downloading; it's only possible to see that you're downloading something (maybe Linux ISOs?) which is very similar to how xx Network messages are protected as well (and additional "cover traffic" is generated to mask traffic with smaller, text messages).

Couple weeks from now xx Network's Speakeasy (Web app) is going to add integration with Crust Network, so uploading, sharing and downloading of files will not require two separate applications.
I use Netflix and prime for convenience and I'm willing to pay for that, I haven't given up on the "old ways" but the nice things about Netflix is that you get a taste from the trailers, the recommendation and one major things for me is that you have the choice of dubs and subs in almost all shows whereas in pirate streams well the quality is much much less consistent.

basically the value add for me UX and QA of content.

that said these legal streaming services have much to improve on.

the streaming turf wars is not helping. regional locks are annoying, I've watched netflix and prime shows on pirate sites because they were available there a day or more before they were available in my region ...

prime video removing original dubbing for movies I wanted to watch later and keeping only the french dubbed version annoys the hell out of me (though I think that is something the got to do with complying with the french government, but that beg the question as to why netflix doesn't do the same).
