Vaccines. There are 8 or so that have been deployed. And we have absolutely tons of data on the morbidity rates of vaccinated vs unvaccinated controlled for other factors (especially age) that show they were effective. If you're really not sure then you just want to be a contrarian.
Thanks for the feedback!

I've tried testing on multiple devices and am not seeing the same issues regarding styling but will continue to test and make improvements. Regarding JP I love the man personally but I respect your opinion.
Well, the impact is far less noticeable on a configuration with a dedicated GPU.

The diffrence is surely not 65% and in fact barely visible: https://techguided.com/single-channel-vs-dual-channel-vs-qua...

What's interesting here imho, is the staggering difference it makes on an CPU integrated GPU (which makes sense since the GPU is using the comptuer RAM instead of its own RAM).

Also, we've been told DDR5 had built-in dual channel on a single stick so I was not sure this would make any difference at all.
And those bodies are waypoints. For example "green boots".

I put my car in storage, it was doable but it wouldn't have been without uber

Why not? I lived in Seattle for years without a car, before Uber was even invented. Get an Orca card, and a ZipCar subscription for once-a-month trips. Problem solved.

Isn't that the secret, though? Sufficiently advanced procedurally generated content is indistinguishable from AI.
I agree that his tone could be better, but if this was really none of his fault (other than being at the wrong road at the wrong time), I could understand why he writes that way given the trouble it has caused him, significant time in prison, criminal record that he will never erase and debt that translated to US standards is way way higher than those 80k and it could end up way worse, too. Like of course, it's a tragedy what happened to the girl, I think a lot of people could relate to doing stupid things intoxicated when young, especially in countries where vodka consumption is high, I do not say that the tone is appropriate, but I could understand the place where he's coming from where the girls' irresponsible behaviour severely impacted his life, he is just quite angry. I wonder how many of the people in this comment section labeling him a killer (I don't say that you did) would speak with the same tone if they were put in the exact same situation given the lack of empathy with his situation.
> You can do your own research.

I did.

Given I have zero specifics, "doing my own research" meant an internet search, which returned nothing relevant, and also didn't cause me to think of any alternative search terms that would be likely to return more relevant results.

I mean, if three unrelated political parties can seek literal independence without this topic getting into search results, I don't see how "unsavoury political views" or "political dissidents" is going to be hugely relevant to the topic of "who has bank accounts".

For example, Googling:

> "Dessie Ellis" unbanked

gave me exactly one result, reporting on a committee he was a member of. Ten years ago.

https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/press-centre/press-releases/201...

I wouldn't be surprised if he was actually unbanked at some point given what he was extradited for, convicted of, and ultimately imprisoned for, but the point is I can't find evidence that he was on the internet with obvious search terms.

Suggestion: add a rating system, because some of these are more dumb than others. Also add an indicator or separate rating for requirements that make the passwords too easy to guess like “no more than 8 characters”. e.g.

> Coil

> Does not allow simple characters and sequences such as '4587' or 'efgh' in password & necessarily requires numeric values.

or Apple’s requirement that you cannot have more than 3 consecutive characters, seem reasonable to me. Certainly these rules ban perfectly fine passwords, but they’re a lot better than something like “must be between 8 and 16 characters and contain one uppercase, lowercase, number, and special character, but not these special characters, and it also cannot have an edit distance of 3 from your user ID”
Nice, but displaying this as a gallery seems to make it harder to quickly parse all of these. The rules are all just images some hard to read at that scale, and some cut off. If you click on one, you can't page to the next, you have to go back to the gallery and click on the next.

Seems like it would be nice to have the actual set of rules next to each example, and to be able to page through the examples.

I also find having to page through the home page a little odd.

I’m following closely the development, it’s still extremely costly to make a product but hopefully will see more adoption in the near future, starting at enterprise level. I have a device in my home, planning to permanently install it in the entrance where we leave shoes & co.

For labor force participation, you'd need to look at demographics. Note that the rate now is higher than the 1960's which was <60%? That's right when baby boomers entered the work force! And 2010 is around when they'd retire. Not a coincidence.

Prior to 2001 we had the Gulf War, Panama in '89, Somali in '93, Bosnia in '95. Compared to then, it's been pretty peaceful since 9/11 and the Iraq War? Especially compared to the Cold War?

Don't get me wrong, the 70's sucked, and the 80's and 90's were better.

But my point is - the kids back in the 90's complained about wars, the economy, the job market, education, etc. All the same stuff.

Cryptographic password hashing functions such as bcrypt have relatively low maximums. Bcrypt sits at 72 characters, which if you used 4-byte UTF-8 is pretty short, for example.

Bcrypt is outdated but still widely used, I reckon.

Ask HN: On the frontpage there are people who've been shut out of PayPal and FB
Is there a solution to prevent all of these digital system lockouts?

There are new ones every few weeks. Or more often. Google. Stripe. Facebook. PayPal.

I'm glad that they're allowed on HN, because at least there's some visibly bought to the issue.

But we need better solutions for this.

If we have issues with governments, we can get lawyers. But if we have issues with digital governments, we need to make a post on HN and hope that an employee sees it?
I've noticed that democratic communities fall apart fast. Democracy works for countries, but on a forum, people will just leave and self-select. If a community leader is unpopular enough, it will branch into a new one and grow or die.

Edit: However I would add that democracy in the form of downvotes and flags usually work well. It can backfire especially around hot topics, but a moderator can usually judge whether or not it is. Such moments are very tough on mods though.
Most of the IT-Plans focus on mitigating the outage itself (e.g. multiple uplinks, backup server, fallback datacenter).
I argue that critical system shall gracefully handling the outage. If a client caches the flight/passenger data (lets say two weeks) you can print list. Grab a pen and keep going.

That is enough for some hours and even days. If you're going advanced you can allow to add (right at the gate/counter) one person to more passengers and so on. You can also go all-in and add code which allows merging of external data i.e. allowing headquarters and airport personnel working at same time.

Die Fluggäste wurden auch nicht per Strichliste in die bereitstehenden Maschinen gelassen, weil nach Angaben des Personals wichtige Informationen zum Abflug fehlten.

If it works that is an appropriate solution.

PS: We cannot see circumstances. Maybe a hack, a burning datacenter, war, co-worker going crazy, international sanctions, storm, flooding, whatever. For example Deutsche Bahn itself suffered recently a sabotage, two entirely independent glass fibers get cut off at same time (one in west-germany, one in east-germany).

If I'm not mistaking if your site operates in the EU as in it's accessible from the EU, you have to comply with GDPR. It's the reason I can't read some American websites. The infamous:

Nope, I just added another 16 GB RAM (32 GB total), but the UNIGINE testing I'm doing here is using 1.5GB of VRAM and basically no RAM at all, the results would be the same with 2x8GB or 2x32GB (but I see your point, it's not very "scientific" to replace 16GB by 32GB).
This is a self-service account set up through the website and we don’t have any human point of contact at PayPal.

It's true that this SPARQL-inspired view of Datalog as a triplestore query language is quite a narrow interpretation compared to something closer to the academic Prolog roots like https://souffle-lang.github.io/ - what do you feel are the most important differences?
You see the same with Yamaha. Japanese manufactured Yamaha's are a notch above those produced elsewhere in quality. It doesn't really show in the first couple of years but later on the difference becomes more and more pronounced. The resale value of a Japanese made Yamaha piano is much better than the rest as well on account of this.
It changed engine analysis of games because it doesn’t generate a series of “lines” that each has a centipawn value. It just gives you the move.

Subjectively, the Monte Carlo moves seem so human-like in comparison to minimax. Minimax can suggest a move that no human would play because the depth of calculation at which that move is good is just impossible for people.

I saw some similarly obtuse password policies when working in the defense industry. A coworker who had spent much longer than I had in the industry showed me what he called "the waterfall method" of password generation. That is, your password would be something like 1Qaz2Wsx -- a waterfall down the keyboard, if you will. You could always tell when he was typing in his password by the staccato tapping of keys.

Just further proof, really, that overly restrictive password policy leads to users adopting insecure password practices. But we've known that for ages -- and, indeed, the password policies we were grappling with at work were in direct defiance of NIST guidelines about password policy.
Sometimes but also to give feedback in a tongue in cheek manner regarding the user experience and conversion optimisation.
A task that is autotelic is purposeful in itself (it is it’s own end goal, instead of being a means to another end goal).

This has been argued to be one of the defining characteristics of games.

Summarized into a saying: Treat every task as an end in itself, and you will experience more enjoyment. Enjoyment is a value in its own right. So do it, just for the sake of it.

I think this is more important in craftsmanship than we’d like to admit: striving for perfection for the sake of perfection.

It has also been argued that beauty in itself is a strong motivating force and the best heuristic to aim for in mathematics/physics.
>Are you implying that black slavery was justified?

That's the exact opposite of the statement. Xw's point is there isn't one, there never was one. A group of people decided and made is so and continued to believe it until they no longer could.
Absolutely. It takes forever to get an org onto salesforce so disentangling is probably basically impossible.
Yes, if you only look at the downsides, the three inventions might be kind of comparable like that. The difference is of course that the first two have beneficial uses as well.
In Norway we have MinID.

> MinID provides access to online public services at a substantial level of security (level 3).

https://eid.difi.no/en/minid

> MinID is issued by the Directorate of Digitization and can be ordered from the year you turn 13.

https://minid.no/en/about-minid/

There is also BankID which we can use in order to log in to all public services.

> BankID is an electronic credential for secure identification and signing on the web.

https://www.bankid.no/en/private/

> Work on developing BankID as a joint infrastructure started in 2000, and the first customers got BankID in 2004. In 2014, BankID Norway AS was established. In 2018 BankID merged with Vipps and BankAxept in order to improve product offering and prepare for competition against global tech firms.

https://www.bankid.no/en/private/about-us/

I have both MinID and BankID and I can use either of them for things like taxes and such.

Statens Vegvesen, who are in charge of driver licenses and more, allow us to sign in with BankID and a couple of other methods, but not with MinID from what I can tell.

Norge.no, which is a guide developed by the Norwegian Digitalisation Agency, has the following to say about MinID and BankID:

> Electronic IDs are available at different security levels, and thus give access to slightly different types of services.

> MinID is at a medium-high security level ("Significant"), and can be used for many public services, but not for health services at helsenorge.no, for example.

> BankID, Buypass and Commfides, which can also be used for public services, are at the highest security level (“High”) and give access to all public services.

I've experienced this as well. Facebook seem to have gone through some lengths to insulate themselves from interactions with the public. They're now too big to trust with anything important to you. You'll get no support if you get in trouble.

Some months after a family member passed away, his Facebook account was hacked and the thief started posting stuff. It's been almost a year that I've been trying to close that account, or at least memorialize it. I've provided everything requested by their circuitous knowledge base to prove that the person has indeed died and even personal documents proving that we're related. For reasons known only to them, the help desk decided that something is missing. They wouldn't say what and just became totally unresponsive. There's no way to talk to anyone.
It's negligent if any service has more customers than they can adequately support.

My guess is that this is highly dependent on where you live, incentives/subsidies, local infrastructure, electricity cost.

Based on the car presented by OP, Skoda Enyaq, I'm guessing they're in Europe where electricity is expensive.

If the charging infrastructure isn't there, both at home/work and fast chargers, BEVs most likely suck.
Commuting costs and travel times in 2022
Not for a minute defending Faceache; but to rely so heavily on one company (FB, Insta, WA) for services that are business-critical, but that you're not paying for, strikes me as reckless.

I don't mean to blame the victim; it's clearly not his fault. But placing so much reliance on a provider of free services that lacks a proper support channel, isn't a great plan. I also note that the author relies on gmail - which has very similar problems.

It's personal. And also regarding a different account than this one.
It depends on the application. More serious music applications have separate "render mode" which works in non-realtime. Also "real-time" apps will use a rendering buffer of say 100 ms. Someone would need to benchmark how small the buffer needs to be for RT to matter.

Time-resolution for midi-input is not high enough for it to matter; it will be quantized to midi-time anyway.

It is critical for audio-effects and synthesizers that are taking live input and emitting live output. These exist, but I'm not sure they are commonly used on linux or if it's wise running with low resources.

I believe there is a group working on "safe transmute", which would address the newtype issues... safely. Not just memory safety, but invariant safe, to prevent transmutes in safe rust when the newtype wrapper wants to protect its own invariants.
>I believe he does have a cop-out if HN isn't selling to or marketed towards the EU

Nope, GDPR attaches regardless of whether you market in the EU/to EU residents, as long as you provide goods or services to people in the EU you're beholden to their rules.

Theoretically, a company that only offers services to US residents (mortgage/banking/legal) could still be beholden to GDPR, since their cardholders might access their website (i.e. be provided services) while in Europe, though as far as I know it's never been tested in court.
> nothing stops them from raiding your home and confiscating your physical cash

Yes and no. I'm in Canada, so maybe the protests in Ottawa, which were mentioned above, are a good example to use.

It actually is much simpler for the Canadian federal government to just lock your bank account, than it is to raid a person's home and confiscate their cash. Entry to a person's home, or detaining them, invokes the entire set of constitutional protections against unlawful search and seizure and arrest. (And for complex, mostly stupid IMO reasons, your bank account does not.)

We do still have due process, judicial review, etc. If you were targeted during the protests without reason, and got a lawyer, you'd probably ultimately get the controls on your bank account lifted. But... you'd need to speak to a lawyer. And that requires some travel or an active phone plan. And that's where cash might actually help a lot.

There's also the question of scale. It costs a lot more, takes a lot more effort, to physically search for cash than to simply flip a bit in a database. Bank freezing can be done and applied at scale automatically, in a way that physical detention cannot. I do agree it is basically tending in an authoritarian direction. I'm worried about it and I'm not sure how we can and should fix it.
Much sooner we will have another "racist AI" moment where some clever prompt engineering forces ChatGPT or a friend to write outrageously politically incorrect statements. Hopefully the outcry will not hinder the general usability.

Bitwarden (and the Rust clone Vaultwarden) are both 100% open source and self-hostable. Vaultwarden runs great on an old raspberry pi or any low power SBC. All of the convenience of Bitwarden clients/extensions/integrations but the same tiny attack surface (encrypted db on one local machine) as keepassXC or a text file.
I dont disagree - I think it's true of all of the large manufacturers.

They'll wait til the infrastructure develops a little bit closer to maturity, then go all in. I think the transition to electric cars will take about a generation, but I think overall it'll be a good thing.
Things every junior developer should know. Do you agree?
Also worth pointing out that Facebook's own communication doesn't mention any such thing, and claims simply to have banned the account for content reasons.

Which, given that the report here is anonymous, seems at least not implausible. There's a real name in one of the screenshots, but a quick search doesn't find any other content associated with it.

Folks need to recognize that this kind of content, presented without verification, tends strongly to be one-sided and at least partly misleading.
