There's a variety of different parts, I can describe some.

* A flag on each CDOTA_Unit which includes heroes for example CDOTA_Unit_Hero_Weaver has a called m_iTaggedAsVisibleByTeam which allows you to tell which teams this entity is visible to, so you can tell if the enemy can see you or not.

* Particles (which affect things like Town Portal scrolls, Smoke of Deceit, attacking neutral camps, etc). There are some things that happen in the game that need to be sent to all clients (even if it's happening in the fog of war for this client), otherwise things would look weird if you were to suddenly get vision of these areas. There's a great explanation by one of the Valve Dota devs on this exact topic and why it's hard to solve: https://old.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/uywfxi/comment/ia85u...

* Some other cheat modules are able to see spells cast, so they can track cooldowns of spells (with indicators above each hero). They can also track cooldowns of specific events: when a player uses buyback there is a cooldown before they can buyback again, when Roshan is killed his respawn time is randomly decided within two bounds so you want to track those bounds.
The percentages are irrelevant. The smaller the elasticity of demand the greater the price change needed to bring supply and demand back in line. Most egg use is commercial and not easily changed, they simply pay the higher price and use the same number of eggs. Thus we see a sharp reaction in the area where egg demand is more flexible--consumers. The high egg prices drive some consumers to eat something else, bringing down the demand.

There isn't an oversupply of eggs--since egg prices went nuts I have seen many an empty shelf, never have I seen eggs on clearance.
Cast iron has three fatal flaws.

It's heavy.

It rusts.

No dishwasher.
Yes, and I'm saying it's asinine, as is the mentality that promotes it as normal.
Cast iron is actually pretty cheap.
Thats a better and more nuanced opinion than my own - I went from EE to CE because I wanted an easier path to working as a SWE after I heard about my prospects at Intel or Boeing or really as a hardware engineer in general.

Question though - if your salary was at the low end of that range why does this seem too low? What would seem like enough? Im assuming those jobs were in related fields and that you would have a stronger impression of what would be attractive for a person in that position than I would
This isn't even the beginning. Transformer models show strong performance across a large variety of modes. The two most prominent so far are static image and human language generation. But it can also handle sensor input and motor signals. In a year or two anyone will be able to tape a mini PC to a drone with a stripped down 5.56 rifle and a GoPro and tell it to shoot anyone wearing the wrong football team's jersey. You might need to help it navigate at first but the image scanning and fire control will be fully automatic.
Soldiers are routinely expected to carry far more than this. They may be carrying it in a more effective pack and/or distributed over more of their body.

Quick google search indicates plenty of US Troops were hauling 90+ pounds of gear around in Iraq and Afghanistan due to need to carry a pack + body armor + weapons.

I'm no soldier but I have certainly hiked with a 50lb load in a good internal frame pack.

And in any case the eBike example was listed. 50lb is not a very heavy load on a bicycle at all. But a battery like this would be better used to make an eBike much lighter. Today they are comically heavy in ways that creates all kinds of extra problems.

If you make the battery 1/4 of the weight of a current eBike with a 100 mile range all of a sudden you don't have to supersize everything on the bike and make it heavy, hard to handle, and un-aerodynamic. It would make the whole bike's performance improve even more.
Yeah, I used format /s and copying the other files with the DOS 3.20 that came with the computer to install to that version the compact flash. So that would be an easy way to get a newer DOS installed as well, but I don't have a newer DOS or Windows 9x computer. I ended up installing standalone MS-DOS 6.22 on a VM image and writing that to the compact flash.

What's the difference? It's too expensive because of squatters.
This .com=serious shtick is laughable, your fomo tricks have no power here. So why would I get a .com? Nobody even types the full domain anymore. People search and click. But the number one reason is I refuse to feed the squatters.
Nope, https://www.w3.org/TR/webgpu/
> Occupancy of our corner peaks at maybe 30%?
> Maybe all those people who didn't actually want to come to the office should have just filed for permanent remote?

Not sure what the rules are at BigCo, but it looks like it would be way simpler to ask office-first people to apply to permanent positions.
I think that the fact that every possible .com is probably already taken has played a big role in this. On top of taht, who types in the domain name? You either go to search engine, click the link somewhere, scan QR code.

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" as William Shakespeare has written could be said today "A startup can have any domain name and it would still be the same".

I wonder if there’s some perverse incentive to block accounts and there’s a “# accounts suspended for fraud” dashboard somewhere. Suspending new accounts is likely the easiest because they put up the least fuss.

A lot of payment processors will charge regardless of outcome.

Stripe's docs, for instance, mention this:

> Once a cardholder initiates a dispute, it is no longer possible to avoid the fee.

https://support.stripe.com/questions/dispute-fees-faq

Additionally, according to Stripe at least, these disputes will remain on your "record" with the particular network:

> All disputes, whether they’re won or lost, count towards your dispute rate, so the best strategy to avoid monitoring programs is dispute prevention.

https://stripe.com/docs/disputes/measuring

Even if the customer withdraws the request, it still counts and you still have to pay the fee.

I'm sure eBay has better terms with looser thresholds, but even they are not impervious to the dispute system. At some point the networks can say "nah, we'd rather not deal with you" and there isn't much eBay could do about it.
When I was at Google (Kirkland), the offices were basically open-plan fishbowls. WFH was massively better.

I once worked at a startup (pre-covid) that had an open-plan setup with a significant portion of people using standing desks. They provided one stool for 2 standing desks justifying it because "if you use a standing desk you should be standing most of the time".

Pure cheapskate short-sightedness.
I've had my cell phone phone number for at least 15 years, maybe even 20. I wonder if I should just keep it forever even though it's from an area 2.5 hours from where I live. I think it's 2 area codes away. It also makes it easy to filter spam, I can either recognize the number (stored contact) or know it's a person actually for me (local area code) or it's spam (phone numbers area code).
There is a simpler device, a glass plate with the alphabet held between the patient and the other person. Humans are extraordinary good at following someone's glance, and this is how a quadriplegic patient can spell out words. Franz Rosenzweig used such a thing in his last years.

The question is: why? Why distribute the music that way, why not just attach it to a radio directly, or some RPi that will pull the stream, or just have it prerecorded.

It's the greatest scam. PayPal isn't a bank -- even though it looks like a bank and acts like a bank, but it crucially IS NOT a bank -- and thus, has none of the same protections of a bank.

I can't remember the exact legal/technical wizardry they've used to get around this, but this has always been a crucial part of the PayPal business model. It's not a bank, it just makes people think that it is one.

As others have said, don't keep any money in PayPal and if possible, try to attach a secondary bank account to your PayPal account to limit your exposure. I've had a PayPal account since I was a teenager and knock on wood have never had any problems, but I always immediately transfer the money out of PayPal as soon as possible.

The equivalent of an argument that everything causes cancer => smoking is fine would be all bugs are security bugs => don't bother fixing the bug underpinning a known a remote code execution exploit.

Which is not at all what I was getting at. Again, don't spend time trying to argue why this or that bug is probably fine actually and not "really" a security problem, fix it and then it isn't.
Yeah soap is fine, I like the salt for abrasion.
I think "exercise" and "working out" are probably the wrong target because they're kind of pointless all alone. The key is to find something physical that you can get (mildly) obsessed with doing, then create a mechanism to get you to do it regularly (e.g., a Couch to 5k plan, a pickleball league, a climbing course). At some point, doing that thing will become your default behavior, just as doing whatever you do now is your default behavior and doesn't require motivation/willpower. It might even lead to other training to get better at that thing.
I've heard of the following cheats in dota2

- Tell you where the enemy is during TP. This is really useful for, for instance, Zeus, who has a stun (stops TP) that can be placed anywhere on the map.

- Show you where enemy has vision, which makes de-ward a trivial task, and therefore makes sure the enemy has basically no vision.

- Instant skill casting when an enemy comes into vision. Useful for heroes with instant stuns/silence, makes them be impossible to be jumped, basically an impeccable counter-initiate, but not always an advantage when initiating.

How are they protected against that, exactly? You can literally walk up to any fire emergency button on any wall on any floor, press a button and evacuate the entire hotel, why bother with this UDP streaming nonsense?

Probably a very unpopular opinion here in HN, but stablecoins (USDC, USDT) are among the best ways to send money internationally. It's so much better than SWIFT.

The problem with that in the US is that we have no form of ID that almost anyone who is eligible can obtain for free or very low cost.

We mostly use driver's licenses, and for people who don't drive states also offer IDs that look a lot like driver's licenses but are only for ID and are issued by the same agency that issues driver's licenses.

In many states they have closed many of the licensing offices, and cut back the hours licenses are issued at others. The closures happen disproportionately in poorer areas with a higher percentage of non-drivers. The reduced hours often leave office issuing licenses and IDs on weekdays in the middle of the day.

This can result in having to take a long trip on public transit to reach an office, and a long trip back, taking up much of your day. For many poor working people that can mean a day's wages lost.

The lost wages, transportation costs, and fees for the license or ID can come to over $100 which is a lot for many poorer people.

If we introduced an ID that is given to every citizen when they become old enough to vote, at no cost to them, and that can be obtained easily locally there would be little objection to requiring that to vote.

But most of the politicians pushing for voter ID are the ones that most benefit when poorer people cannot vote, and so tend to also be opposed to making the ID cheap and easy for eligible voters to obtain (and are also the ones closing license offices and reducing hours).

For good telescope optics, we look for something like 1/4 - 1/6 wavelength tolerance, minimum. That's for optical wavelengths, but photolithography is in the UV range, so that's already stricter tolerance in absolute terms because of the shorter wavelength, but how does the tolerance in relative terms compare? Thanks for the info!

My bank (BoA) allows me to have multiple checking accounts so long as you satisfy the initial deposit requirement, and maintain sufficient balances in other linked accounts, so this looks like a good way forward. I think I'll switch other apps to use this new receivables account to contain their potential blast radius.
Most of the examples noted elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34914880) are examples of people getting scammed and temporarily not having access to the amount they were scammed out of. I'm not sure how anywhere else like paypal would be able to handle this kind of situation any differently.
Similar story not with eBay but with Facebook. I've had eBay for around 25 years. Never a problem buying or selling.

I signed-in to enable 2FA, review privacy settings, change the password, and review whatever content was left.

Instalocked as soon as I reached the 2FA page.

Someone through channels unlocked it for me.

Tried to review the account again.

Again, same thing. Instaban.

Ban and unban processes are generally fully automated. The issue is with the signals used to reduce false positives and false negatives, and the ambiguousness of certain situations make judgement difficult-to-impossible without the critical thinking skills of humans. In general, the scaling of human review isn't economically-achievable. Maybe platforms should encourage review volunteers in some manner or seek scaling of human review by additional means.

Plot twist: I work for Meta. Linking the personal Facebook account with work was a required step. IG, nothing much changed, except it received a private "internal" badge.

> I'm aware HR and recruiting folks are having much much harder times than engineers in finding new positions, but assumed engineers had still been hit harder than that link shows.

Hardest hit positions are "tech adjacent".

> For companies that are on the cusp of profitability, or still actively burning through money, layoffs seem to be more about reducing burn, which means you're more likely to lay off highly paid engineers.

Twitter was an example of that, but it was massively overblown by the media due to the company profile (and the identity of the buyer!).

Companies trimming senior talent are also slowing down the pace at which they can ship new features and products. That's ok short term, but longer terms, those that will be able to secure funding to keep their engineering will get ahead.

> How do you square this with the observation that every open SDE role at a company that pays at least somewhat decently seems to have hundreds of applications? If so few SDEs were really laid off, I wouldn't expect the SDE hiring market to have turned as drastically as it did since last summer / fall.

How many serious applications?
Probably TeleCheck. Your credit score is irrelevant, it is likely denying you because you never use checks in that way. It's anomaly analysis. At the other end of a wire, both of these circumstances appear identical:

* a criminal who stole the checkbook of someone with an 800+ credit score and used it for a transaction the rightful owner never has

* someone with an 800+ credit score and used it for a transaction they never have

I'm not sure why anyone would use checks in an emergency though, I'm surprised BB&B even still accepts checks.
" There was obviously data in this packet and file should know when it sees MPEG Audio data, so I decided to write another Python script to save the packet data with offsets.

no, 1000 cycles doesn't mean 1000 charging events will end it. 1000 cycles from 100 to 0% will end it, and if its like current batteries, you get more than say, 10X as many cycles when you only use 10% of the battery per cycle

I'm not really sure the addition of AI changes all that much here. It sounds like the bypass the author used would have been possible using conventional methods. But if AI draws attention to the horrendous practice of biometric authentication, I'm all for it and I hope that more reporters start asking similar questions about bank security.

This article focuses specifically on UK security, and I'm not sure what the situation is over there, but in the US digital security around banks is pretty awful. I looked around a while back trying to find an online consumer bank with good reviews that offered 2-factor authentication (real 2-factor authentication, not just SMS). I couldn't find a single one[0].

At best, a couple of banks mentioned that they had their own proprietary authentication apps that I could install. None of them had basic OTP support for something like AndOTP.

I had to fight with my bank for multiple days before I got them to allow me to set up a passcode that they would use to identify me when I called, rather than just relying on basic information that was all made public in the Equifax leak. To their credit, they do actually ask me, but I still wonder if someone tried to impersonate me, would they actually block access or would they bend as soon as the person made a fuss about not knowing the code?

That the response to this from the banks involved is immediately "well, it's just an extra layer, we're getting better and better" -- it's infuriating to read. It's an industry that is not just behind on security, it's actively hostile to people pointing out that it's behind on security.

I guess it should make me feel better that apparently it's not just a US-specific problem? I'm not sure it does though.

----

[0]: Sidenote, if anyone has any good suggestions here, I'd be all ears. I get regularly annoyed at how bad my bank is with notifications around payments, card usage, etc... and how it seems to be both antagonistic to actual security measures like 2FA and in love with security theater like blocking VPN access.
Don't put your wallet in someone else's computer.
To close my account, I emptied my balance into a random purchase, and I still want to close my account, but because there are a few dollars in it, they won't close it without a bunch of additional PII and hoops. I don't care about the money, I really just want zero risk exposure to them in my life.

Maybe I should just try to get banned instead?
Just another very profitable mistake.
My content-based recommender shows me a lot of articles from The Guardian and I must admit I get a perverse pleasure out of watching a train that keeps crashing and crashing.

Labor has some culpability in this in that Tony Blair stole Margaret Thatcher's playbook (just as Clinton did Reagan's) and then Labor was taken over by Jeremy Corbin who seemed to look to Cuba and Venezuela as role models.
