When you include car titles, something people lose constantly and costs $15 to replace at the DMV... It makes me wonder about all the other things you listed being easy to replace also and you're just trying to explain why you got a safe for paperwork.

My mother guards her social security card and passport like they are the keys to life. She was absolutely shocked that I let a scooter rental shop in Vietnam hold my passport as collateral.

People lose or get robbed of everything important all the time. There's a process for everything. I rather not worry and just live my life and deal with things as they come, not worrying so much.

I like it.

My feedback would be a simpler approach, ditching the hash. Why not just encourage people to put their email address in plain text in a DNS record? If they want anonymity, they can fall back to the way verification is done today. If they want convenience, they can broadcast their email&DNS link.

For example, I own "BreckYunits.com" and my email address is listed throughout my site. I wouldn't be giving up any privacy by putting that in a DNS record.

Sure, some people will exaggerate the fear risk (usually the ones selling a security product), but I'm of the old school opinion that we should advocate good behavior and admonish bad behavior on the web and build a more civil world.
That's all well and good I guess, but if it were just for efficiency's sake shouldn't they then just hire contractors? Hiring FTE's is a weird bait-and-switch when they then lay them off a year later.

note: Even if the dispute is settled out of court in arbitration, I think arbitration would likely be successful based on the available info. Honestly, if you can open a dispute for arbitration that seems cheaper than going to court and it's likely to work, IMHO. Though most likely is that as soon as a human at Facebook actually groks your situation they'll refund it before going to court or arbitration.

Which is weird, because the same authors published a more notable paper on exactly this subject very recently in Quaternary [0]. I don't think the argument is unreasonable, but the author of this article is terribly misinformed about many things. For example, the cyclades would have been visible from the mainland, as they still are today! [1] is the view from the western mainland, [2] is the view from the eastern side, today the island of Ikaria. Notice that Crete is also visible from both the Cyclades and the mainland under ideal conditions.

This author wants to blame an object, not society or the person. This is the type of garbage that wont help the problem.

I can do the same analysis they did with knifes, or hands and feet and its not going to be the objects fault, but the person that used the object.

It's NOT the guns, its the mentally ill person, the person on drugs, the person that was known to the FBI/LEO and the huge lack of current enforcement on existing laws.

The 18 yr old kid, Timothy George Simpkins that shot 3 people at his school was bailed out. What message does that give top people?

Not to beat a dead horse but there is Hunter Biden doing crack and has illegal guns. Why are the laws not enforced equally? Why is he not in jail right now?

If current gun laws don't work, why do people think more will work when the existing are ignored?

This would be a very welcome addition to Python packaging!

Since . is already used for the package-level namespacing and is currently a forbidden character in PYPI package-names, that seems like the perfect separator.

Instead of doing `pip install mycorp-foo`, and then `import mycorp.foo`, you'd do `pip install com.mycorp.foo` and have an import statement that matches perfectly!

It is laughable to think that the first supported travel over water was done in “boats“ or by “sailing“. Children instinctively climb onto floating objects. It seems very likely to be that some unwary homo-something crossed an unswimmable span of water quite by accident and survived. Perhaps some other individual observed their fate and followed, perhaps from the same species or perhaps not. Perhaps alone, or perhaps with others.

The evidence is merely that there are early tools on islands.

> If it weren’t for cultural issues it would be more popular and cheaper to simply wear a climate controlled suit rather than have AC. There are also some comfort issues that would need to be resolved I suppose.

Are you serious? Cultural issues like people not wanting to wear a heavy thick noisy suit completely isolating them from the world at all times. Comfort issues like wearing a heavy thick noisy suit isolating you from the world at all times. The fuck.
There can be downsides to the permeate pumps, but not many.

Installed with a standard hydraulic shut off valve (ASO) you won't see any issues but you won't get much in the way of improved storage pressure. You will just see improved product/waste ratio as the pump negates the back pressure from the tank. The downsides are the periodic thumping noise and the added complexity of the extra tubings and fittings.

Installed without an ASO valve the permeate pumps will cause some TDS creep and bleed high TDS product water into the storage tank each time the system stops and starts. This will mix with the low TDS product water and raise the average up somewhat. The amount will vary on usage behavior but it's a noticeable TDS bump for most users.
Ohhh, I wondered why people were so hyped about that! In my head I rounded it off to not wanting to recompile the whole file- I should have realized how dumb that was. This actually makes a lot of sense. When I helped a friend set up Calva, a part of me was really just assuming it was misconfigured- but no, it's designed to facilitate this kind of editing.

Though, I must ask, is it really that much better? I do keep functions around if I think I'll have a use for them again- the vast vast majority really are one-offs. Plus, most of my REPL usage is iterating on an expression. Obviously it's handy to edit it in place, but it's nice having multiple versions, even multiple trees, without having to relocate a cursor or undo unrelated changes.

The C++ that we have can only be used as an external tool: we write a character-level program into a pipe or file, which is read by an external program. This drops an object file that we have to process. I'm saying that we could have some Algol-like sublanguage with value semantics, and unboxed types. It could output code for a virtual machine, which could be further translated to native code. It would all be in Lisp, not requiring any external tools unrelated to Lisp to be installed.

The source file I linked to shows how you can write native code without leaving Lisp. In that native code, you can move the stack to allocate an unboxed array, and whatever else. But from that it's not a huge leap into having a similar thing but at a higher, and machine-independent level.
Yes! When writing down the equations you use a form that docks to the right points in the mental model space of your audience.

I ended up in the same situation with my restaurant business. Personal Facebook account was suspended (which hadn't been used for anything except buying ads for mentioned business for something like ~4 years), and I guess because of that, the professional Instagram account linked with the personal Facebook was also suspended.

I had ads running and tried for ~2 weeks to do anything about it, but Facebook kept charging me and I kept being unable to resolve it by any manner at all. Eventually reached a real human via Facebook support somehow, and they said there was nothing they could do.

Had to lock and block my card for the charges to stop. Wrote to my bank about them charging me even though I was suspended, I got all the money back from the day the suspension started (took screenshots from day one it happened) and I'll never use anything related to Facebook again.

So I guess my advise is to lock the card, ask your bank nicely and if the bank won't help you, take it to court. Not sure what country you are in, but usually there are organizations that help you pro-bono for easy cases like this when huge companies try to take advantage of the small person, often leading to something called "small claims court".

> how do you create good tests for a more advanced AI than you yourself are (or have control of)?

I think I answered that. You use more resources to create it than answer it. When creating it, you can have a team take lots of time, use all sorts of tools, etc. When taking it, you constrain time and tools. That’s the general pattern of how to make a question harder than you can answer.

There are also lots of trapdoor questions, especially in math. An overly simple example is factoring numbers.

Was Datadog pricing per-host? If so, then I guess running a Kubernetes cluster using the biggest available instances is the most "modern" solution to Datadog-using infrastructure.
I feel nostalgic for the days of grepping logs in some ways.

At a previous company, we had DD, and I got asked to find some problem. I was able to sift through the data in it and zero in on the instance and find the bad data that came in.

Then it got expensive and so they turned on 'sampling' and the next time I was asked to look for a particular problem, we had no idea if it was even logged.
That's actually a great idea

No one, or atleast very few, were sleeping with someone's significant other. Who wants to do that and then be a sitting duck at work where the angry bf/husband can walk in and see you any moment. When the women are ready to leave the bfs, that's when they contact the salesperson. I've seen it happen atleast 10 times, 2 to me personally. Even dated that nightmare for 2 years once.

Really fascinating and terrifying how much your entire way of life can hinge on the expression of one bit of DNA like this.

Because a domestic covert spying agency is a secret government. See the Stasi, or the Church Committee hearings, or the Iran-Contra hearings.

A domestic spy agency would spend all of its time trying to control government, strategic industries, and self-dealing. There are no checks on an organization like the CIA other than the old limitation that it couldn't target US citizens. There's no way to oversee an agency that isn't obligated to explain itself to Congress, is supplied by secret budgets, and information on whose outputs is protected by the Espionage Act (or ultimately, indefinite imprisonment and torture, threats made to family members, etc.)

We're sacrificing democracy for a secret hierarchy of secret police. You've cut government completely out of the equation if you have a government department with the latitude and ability to control domestic politics. It's basically a military coup.

Micropayments of just a few cents is basically how many ads work. I've already stated that HN hates ads.

There are truths on both sides of the argument IMO. It's not black and white. But it's hard to seriously consider the opinions of those who haven't participated in it in any way (government, contractor, military...) and may not even have been born when these things kicked off. Media is a very biased filter.
44C can be fatal at even 10% humidity[0].
