>get to decide what political speech Americans are allowed to express

They're not stopping you from any speech. No one, including older news papers, radio channels, tv stations, etc., ever had to let anyone promote anything. You have no right to someone else's property for the tradeoff they don't have right to yours.

If anything, the social media startups gave vastly more people more voice than any previous medium. For example, we're chatting right now, something we'd not have done in any previous medium.

>must be regulated the same politically-neutral way those public and privately owned communications services are

be careful what you ask for - they might end up regulated like over the air TV or radio, where plenty of things expressible online are completely forbidden.

If telephone calls or mail content were public, you'd get a lot more stuff banned there too.
Yeah funny thing about the Laffer Curve is that the optimal rate is actually rather high ~70%.

Postgres in my experience can handle like 100 connections with the default config I get installing it on my Ubuntu server, but at some point you want pg-bouncer, and I vaguely remember MySQL having higher limits. Idk, it's been a while cause I've almost always limited the number of connections in my own code instead.
I think "arbitrary" gives the wrong flavor here. Math is fundamentally curated.

It's easy to create something new, because you get to play with the rules - but unless it is in some sense deep, effective, and usually elegant [1] it won't stick around.

[1] this is a bit acculturated.
With such title, this automatically becomes the kind of content where I want more photos and videos, and less words. I hoped to find some cool sample of the effect but... only a green laser pointing to the sky. Oh well then, I'll read the text and imagine it myself!
But then in your effort to eat less meat, would you replace it with plant-based alternatives?

Personally, I cook without any alternatives and just make proper dishes with no meat. Then, once in a while, I’ll get some better locally sourced meat and make a great meat based dish.
Not true, I just did it a few weeks ago when moving to a new phone. Just screenshotted the backup QR code and when I got my new phone later I used the screenshot.
Microsoft Authenticator syncs across all instances so you just have to log in to a new Authenticator on the new phone and the codes are there. (I think it uses OneDrive).

I am sure that is less secure than a local only copy but this may be least bad of all alternatives.

You might even give a trusted person a login and have it on their phone so you can use theirs in an emergency.
yah they play the whole get a $2 digital credit or whatever for orders. It kind of blurs the expectations too when now it's becoming the norm for things not to meet the 2day shipping expectations that is prime. Things are also blurred in the opposite direction with same day shipping or one day shipping on certain items. It's the inconsistency that's confusing and kind of invites you to stop guessing and just patiently wait like the old days of ordering something through the mail.
Why some parts are blurred in the video??
Natural gas is consumer priced in GJ and seems to work fine. Eventually we would just develop and intuition about number of K/M/G J in various battery sizes without the complex/ugly kwh unit.

I mean isn't even "bad" right now at all by most measures. Employment is still very strong, growth is slowed, but not stopped. Only inflation is elevated. The two things that incentivize starting a business in a recession are low rates (more VC money available) and high unemployment (cheaper, freer labor) and we have neither of those. Even after dumping 100K or so engineers on the market, that is barely enough to soak up all the undersupply of the past 5 years.
Might be good to note as well that steroids are commonly prescribed for all kinds of ailments that people have, they're objectively healthcare as well.
Maybe, alternatively, this is just an indicator that ad-based "free" services aren't really realistically economical and we should all be paying google 50c/mo for our email addresses.

Also, I think it's unreasonable to accept "support just sucks now" as a norm - consumer protections exist to shield us from BS like this and the US has been far too lax in flexing those muscles lately.
I have this super weird idea about slave-driven plantations. Initially, they could only be slave driven because mass wage employment were not invented yet.

Imagine you wanted to plant sugar on some remote islands and would pay wages to workers. Where would they spend those on a remote island? They would likely be conned and/or starve very quickly. Top level plantation executives with practical freedom of movement had wages, but even guards were mostly paid in dining and dress.

This is not to argue that slave labor is any less terrible than it was. It's just we should be grateful to live in societies where wage employment is mostly figured out.
I get the skepticism.
It's possible a separate company (even if cozy) would not have direct access to Bing's infra.
Allowing customer service to bypass customer auth requirements is just weakening your system. There will always be a CS agent who is bribed, makes a mistake, etc. And besides, the agent following a flow chart has no better info to make the decision on than a computer.

Instead the auth requirements should be sane from the start, well publicised, and make a good tradeoff between letting bad guys in vs locking the real owner out.

There should be options beforehand to adjust the balance (eg. enabling 2FA).

To prevent lockouts, there should be some time-based weakening. Eg. if you are trying to access your account, and know only some of the required auth info, and have been unable to for 1 week, and, after blasting messages to every associated recovery phone/email address nobody else does either, then you should be allowed in.

That solves the classic "my house burnt down with my phone in. All I have is my email and password, but I have no devices left, no backup codes, no access to my phone number, nothing" case.
I remember Google not letting me log in with my TOTP code when it insisted on me clicking a prompt I hadn't received. Only after two timeouts did it add the option to use a TOTP code. If I recall correctly, I had to let the thing fail and then click "let me try another way" or something similar. This leads me to believe that maybe Google hides certain options by default.

However, I also think that Google keeps track of a "security rating" for your session; when I don't log in for a while, Google asks me for my password but when I use that same session token on another physical address I also need to authenticate with 2FA.

This may imply that failed login attempts may flag your session as even worse than before. I have no idea if this is actually how it works or if this is purely coincidental, but it may be worth keeping in mind given that you have limited backup codes available to you.

My recommendation would be to first get a Google Takeout backup stored somewhere safe, then see if you can get another 2FA method that you have control over connected to your account.

Do you think then, that they deserve to be mentally scarred without any support and paid less than the minimum wage for a receptionist, on the basis that they are not "equal" to us?
This is unfair. The commenter you are replying to is claiming that a liberal organization is being attacked from the left, and this is a pretty fair statement. Even the sales pitches for why you should subscribe to The Guardian make it clear what their bias is, and those are on the bottom of every page.

And this is actually a pretty refreshing take because it correctly distinguishes between liberalism and the left. Both of which are distinct from conservatism.

At worst you could say they have a three party system brain.
Sneaky indeed. So sneaky, in fact, that it would be completely ineffective.
I guess could be that.

I too create a new chrome profile (and restarted my router) to get a different IP. (i.e) clean.

- Does this mean you are able to access emails but not change 2FA?

- If yes, do a take out ASAP.

- May be the backup codes are incorrect?

I think the parent's comment is less specifically about abortion and more specifically about developers being concerned with building anti-privacy tools that are used in a myriad of concerning things, where abortion is just one of many. So I think your comment is missing the parent's point.
yeah I use Wikipedia zoomed in and it always uses the entire width of my screen, new design is not an exception. Having text as a max-width column is good, otherwise it's harder to read.
It made absolutely no difference for me at one point. At least the first is not a waste of time. Could have directed to a floss project.
FYI: Mushrooms are effectively animals who decided to digest things on the outside of their organism instead of the inside. That was the main evolutionary divergence between animals and fungi (who are more related to eachother than fungi are to plants). So we animals evolved a gastrointestinal tract running through the inside of our body; whereas, fungi/mushrooms evolved to exude digestive enzymes into the external environment and then reabsorb the digested products.
Having a shipped a Windows filesystem driver, I can tell you that Windows's lowest level filesystem APIs "you buffer/stream rather than allocate, you pass pointers rather than copying data, you use indexes/hashes for lookups rather than full scans, and so forth"

Memory was a lot more limited when those APIs were designed!

Then again, many programming languages expose simplified APIs for the exact reasons you describe. It's a lot easier to encapsulate all of the above when all you care about is getting an array of filenames in a directory, and then performing your own application logic to filter it further.
I have a remarkable 2 and a Microsoft Surface Pro, intended to de-clutter math coursework. Both work, but I found that the real estate on the remarkable was too limited, even though its a great device, so I tried the Surface Pro. I can fit just about any sized work onto it, and you can endlessly scroll down which was something I couldn't figure out on the remarkable. It makes doing math easy or at least takes away some housekeeping which I find really distracting. And saving and organizing work and being able to import and export files is a bonus.
Seems perfectly fine. I remember having to do this trick on s3 for similar reasons.
I mean, that might be true if someone confesses to heinous/violent crimes (and shouldn't they?) but its definitely not true for things like minor drug use/sale etc.
There may be a plugin for it but the KeePass clients I've used don't support this by default. Generally, it would be best to look for the string (and keep both the string and the image secret!).
Of course it had an impact. It's guaranteed to just be something that's not seen as 'sexy' internally, and therefore has probably had no-one championing it, and it gathered dust and finally... someone just wanted to kill the code.

I've seen it happen first hand in similar sized companies.
Well, at least you got the burger even if they got the grill.

That particular device is two completely different animals with and without the bottom plate. Mediocre and smokey with it, really kind of fantastic without it. The wire mesh stops the big lumps from falling through but lets the ash go, and the whole thing burns like a chimney stove. Really good.
>Sure, my nature distrusts what a corporation says because it’s always filtered through stockholder functions

OK, but in Southwest's case, you had former and current employees from various positions within the company publicly coming out and lambasting Southwest for the failure to actually invest in upgrading their scheduling system that led to the outage. It wasn't just a corporation coming out and going, "Here's what we hope you believe happened," it was pissed off employees publicly fucked off that their years of complaints went unheard and now they were all paying the price for being ignored.

>Or is this truly an odd and rare timing?

It's just odd/rare. I would wager that your brain's rush to try and tie them together like this is just it's way of trying to make sense of something it normally doesn't see.
I'm not european, and if anything, I'm looking into moving to the US soon. I'm not trying to do the usual "americans, amirite?" thing. It's just that there is much more of a "national security angle" to every discussion like this in the US. Which is pretty unique to america I thini
Because the NYT article, as opposed to the paper, addresses a wider audience and is written in layman’s terms. Furthermore, if you are curious about the primary source, the NYT piece links to it early on.
Why we are moving the goal post? The problem was not building something right or wrong. The problem is building/producing/delivering something of value. A lot fo wrong things have immense value, and the opposite is also true. How should I know if the thing I'm building has any value in the target market and it aligns with vision of the company? Is it my job to do market research or to build the thing asked for?

To make the point clear, I'm gonna make an extreme example.

If some one asked me to build the next social media to a poor country, where the immediate problem for 80% of the population is to find stable source of food and a shelter, and I'm payed to do so. What should I do? If I don't have the knowledge, as software engineer (which is almost always the case, i.e. not knowing a lot of the business decisions), about the target market, what should I do? Now, as software engineer, should I also do market research? How, I'm gonna know all the business decision about a product? Maybe the people commissioning me the engineer side of the business have already some client ready to buy? How am I supposed to know the business strategy? This is absurd. This is again putting everything on the shoulder of software engineers.

It is unhelpful, as you correctly say it. I don't denied that. But you should not deny that finding product that have any value for business agenda, is a role a market researcher should do, or someone else more competent in that area.

The fact the reality is how you say it is, it is sad story. But that doesn't make any less unfair. I did a B.Sc in Computer Science and nobody thought me anything about business, product, market research, pricing techniques. I don't how to do it properly nor I can guarantee that the product I'm building for you have any value in whichever market you are going to sell it. And I'm not comfortable taking that kind of responsibility. It is unfair and dishonest for both the buisiness and me.
That's not really where i see the problem, the problem for the WEF is optics, a bunch of world leaders talking about radical changes in our society is going to look bad, regardless of whether they are serious or not and regardless of what the actual details of the conversation are.

The prime example of this is when the WEF published the infamous "you will own nothing and you will be happy line". Now if you actually read the article its a little pie in the sky but not overly dystopian. But the thing that gets me every time is how in the hell did they publish that and not think there was going to be some backlash, a bunch of elites and world leaders telling you that you will "own nothing and be happy", that's a bad look.
The federal and state departments of agriculture go to great efforts to control agricultural diseases. Others have mentioned foot and mouth, but there are lots of other things. For instance, half of Washington State is declared an "Apple Maggot Quarantine Area" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Maggot_Quarantine_Area) where it's illegal to bring in homegrown / wild-picked fruit lest you infect Eastern Washington's massive apple orchards. A couple years back the Governor very publicly violated that long-standing order: https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2020/sep/16/inslee-brings-...
That was my experience as well. I am not a big fan of his 13 step flashback management process, or some of the other strategies, as they never worked effectively for me, but in my opinion he does an excellent job to map the battlefield, establishing causes and effects.

His book is a good starting point, along with two other classics[0][1], but it is also rather old (10 years this year!), with more strategies and research done on top of it by other psychologists since then.

I'm surprised that this phenomenon has only recently been confirmed. Electrolasers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolaser) have been thought about for 30+ years. The idea if you create a laser-induced plasma channel for the weapon's energy path. The same idea seems like it'd work with lightning. In fact, it seems like some research for guiding lightning with LIPCs has been done since 10 years ago (https://aip.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.3690961).

> > HTML was meant to be used for static documents

> So? What does that have to do with "technologies the browser offers us"? The browser now offers a thorough set of DOM bindings in JS, which is definitely not meant to be used for static documents. Quite the opposite.

I think they mean that syntactically, HTML is best suited to static documents, since that was the original design consideration. While the DOM has had things added to it to make it work as a declaritive UI language, that doesn't change the fact that the HTML spec at it's core is very focused on information hierarchy, typography and print-style layouts.

--

> > CSS (single file, linked to by all documents) was meant to add styling to all those documents.

> That's still how it works?

Yep! <link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" /> on every document, and you just keep adding to that file. (Not advisable but possible)

--

I could totally see us building a BETTER target platform; imagine a declaritive UI language that allows binding nativly? No "JS Main Thread" blocking weirdness, and frameworks would all use it making views/templates/components intercompatible. HTML is a weak solution to the problems modern web development faces...

BUT it's also a globally available solution making the annoynaces that come along with it just acceptable enough that we'll take the extra step to emulate a better platform with frameworks. It's available everywhere, and global change is hard or even impossible. It's working with what we have and I think that's good. But pushing for something better is also good. :)
The backup codes are what enabled me to log in, thankfully, so I know they work.

Thanks for the takeout advice.. onto that now!
I wonder if they laid the team off
I think you're attacking a scarecrow. There are plenty of dumb things the fed government incinerates money on.

Caring for the people that _it itself_ put in harms way is not one of them.
Why not both? Thanks for the clarification.
You literally picked the two of the longest lived and most successful open source, and not effectively corporate owned projects.

I really don’t think this is the critique you think it is.
"natural bodily processes" are disrupted all the time for the benefit of the individual.

Yeah, but the abstraction layers get in the way if/when I need to optimize queries or use special features, plus it's easier to just write SQL. I'd rather target a specific DBMS and rewrite my queries if I ever change it.

He said non-google. There is no decent support from google.
Two things:

“Try the simplest thing that might work” is advice that is often provided on Hacker News. At one time and maybe still, it was said to be advice YC often provided to founders.

Make up a name, buy the .com domain and get back to finding users.

Nobody cares what the name is, e.g. Kubernetes, if it solves one of their problems (and if it doesn’t solve any of their problems they won’t care either).

Sure great names are great. But a bad name fast is good enough.

Maybe even better because a domain using an ordinary word might get you sued for trademark infringement (sued even if you are acting legally because anyone can sue anyone).

And maybe better because keyword search will be more relevant, e.g. Java is a great name but the top result might be Coffee or an Island.

YAGNI…and if you are lucky enough that that changes you will have enough money that a great domain is rounding error. Right now domain name is a fifteen minute task.
2FA is okay. But the practice of backup code sucks. Instead, save the TOTP hash and make extra sure to back it up. Then you can just reconfigure your 2FA app.
Ditto for Euclid. Doing this early in life pays huge dividends.
Are they? Seems to me color associations are conventional, not cultural.
Now that you made me think about it, I think both this approach and the original math.big one will cause more base32 digits to be added early than needed, breaking sorting earlier than needed, since slugs with different number of chars won't sort properly (think 1, 10, 11, ..., 2, 20...).

Right now the time is converted to 4 bytes which then uses 7 base32 characters to encode. When the time rolls over to 33 bits in 2106, it will increase to 5 bytes encoded as 8 base32 chars, even though 7 base32 chars have enough bits (35) to represent the number.

So perhaps a better way would be something like:

func atomSlug(publishedAt time.Time) string {
b := make([]byte, 0, 8)
b = binary.BigEndian.AppendUint64(b, uint64(publishedAt.Unix()))
s = lexicographicBase32Encoding.EncodeToString(b)
return strings.TrimLeft(s, '2'); // '2' is all zero bits
}

This will stick with 7 base32 chars until you exceed 35 bits in 3058.
AI and the Definition of Plagiarism
Plagiarism reflects two moral violations: (1) the uncredited use of someone else’s work, and (2) the passing off of work as your own when it is not, in part or whole.
While the accepted definition of P applies only to the former, the issue of AI puts the emphasis firmly on the latter.

Will AI lead to a change in the established definition? It should.
That's the main difference between OCD and not.
Or save the TOTP hash directly.
