They don't. There is no semantic value to this data for them. To Google and Meta, it's an arbitrary data point. To tax companies, it is data that can utilized to either target the delivery or measure the performance of their own ads.

That said, there doesn't need to be semantic value for this to feed into an ML model that ends up associating tax data attributes with other attributes.

See my comment, but I have some terrible trenched stories with how non profit run service.

A last one : I was ask to pry open the personal windows of a freshly dead employee because apparently a bunch of critical informations were stored on it ( payroll, bunch of passwords to Linux boxes running stuff )

I refused, then asked to get permission of family.

Then I learned that the plan was to basically reclaim that personal laptop of a dead employee because migrating stuff was too hard.

I told them I was busy.

I think they stole that laptop containing private correspondance and still use it today.

It’s a NGO you heard off. Running on most continents.

My take : IT and security are a distant thought in those places and you need strong top down directions and training to enforce basic hygiene

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I'm having trouble seeing how covid policies from a year ago (strict or not) would still affect a manufacturer that ships beer everywhere in the US.
The real saving grace is that the website tells you where everything is in the warehouse, and nothing stops you from going in the "back" door, picking up what you want, paying and leaving.
Data miners pay for any and all profiling data that they can add to their panopticon. All the better to send you targeted ads.

I always felt like linking education to direct use of the knowledge is missing the point. It is irrelevant whether or not you'll need the knowlege you learned in school or at uni. What matters is your learnability, and that's the muscle you train with education. Learning smth just to use it to get paid for it is the lowest form of learning; the whole point is to acquire ability to learn whatever quickly so that you can become proficient in whatever is needed in the future, which in turn gives you an edge in the talent pool. In that sense the central point of the article is 100% valid - it's all about track record
LinkedIn's "only useful function" is insufficient to overcome its "deal killer": it's a farce. I have never met an I.T. manager whose LinkedIn profile was remotely close to reality. They all claim the same B.S. (detail oriented, results driven, digital transformation, blah blah blah blah blah blah), enabling them to get hired into roles that ruin the lives of programmers like me. Better they should just be honest and say, "Switch jobs every 3 years when they find out I'm a total poser but I promise to stay out of the programmers' way".

It's pretty lame to put out a one sentence implication that unions are the reason for the downfall of this 127 year-old business without, you know, any actual proof or data or argument for that being so. The only sentence in the actual article hinting at why they closed links it to falling sales starting in 2016, and the general state of the economy.
The general public bemoans inflation in everything all the time. I’ve been hearing about the overpriced real estate market and the upcoming bubble burst since 2013.

The flipside of this is that the only people who actually bothered establishing an XMPP server at scale were those who wanted to spam Google or Facebook users.

Think of it this way: why doesn't Gmail just close their SMTP gateways and defederate from e-mail? Because there's shittons of systems that expect to be able to send mail this way. They'd have to spend loads of time and energy corralling people out of open standards and into a proprietary Gmail API for no externally-visible benefit.

That doesn't apply to XMPP. It was an entirely new protocol with only two very large adopters federating with one another. Legitimate automated systems that needed to send messages didn't really exist yet, so there was no legacy cruft holding people to the open standard. But there were plenty of spammers who realized that they could get into literally every Gmail and Facebook screen with it.

In e-mail, we have a complicated setup of blocklists, heuristics, and domain authentication to handle spam. This inherently costs more time and money to set up than just having a closed messaging system with sign-ups that are controlled by one entity. But the big e-mail providers deal with it because open[0] federation is an iron rule of the e-mail system.

[0] Ok it's more like "open if you spend enough time getting an originating IP that isn't on every blocklist, setting up SPF/DKIM, getting your recipients to add you to contacts and check the spam filter, and so on"
Metadata scanning, I presume. It's not quite 30 seconds, but mounting my 4-drive 12TB btrfs volume (spinning rust) also feels like it takes upwards of ten seconds (I've never bothered to actually measure the mount time, so can't say with certainty).

> How would one game the CPI? A price index is just an average of the prices of a bunch of different goods.

- They have changed what goods are thrown in the basket and in what proportion repeatedly.

- They have made adjustments, or when they haven't they arguably should, for variation in quality of goods since for example any TV you buy now is higher quality than anything available in 1990. You don't have the option of buying the previous quality anymore though.

- It's a bit murky how to account for substitutions over time such as people buying Impossible burgers instead of beef.

Many of the adjustments they consider are completely reasonable but involve subjective and game-able choices which makes the measure hard to trust at face value.
Neither Google or Microsoft use long term IP reputation. They may temporarily block an IP for various reasons (it will even reflect that in the SMTP error message), but never in the long term. All major email service providers work with domain reputation, not IP reputation.

However, you do need proof that you 'own' the IP address by means of a reverse IP address. ISPs generally don't allow their customers to set a reverse-DNS record for the IP address, because you do not own the IP. Since most spam originates from botnets from consumer IP addresses, adding the reverse-DNS requirement resulted in a huge reduction in spam.

The email service providers didn't ruin email, spammers did.

Yes, there are other courts than the US ones, and generally the law there is significantly more favourable to TDM with regards to copyright, with the exception of the PRC.

Examples:

Japan: Article 30-4 of the Japanese Copyright Act. No special action on the part of companies is necessary for compliance. All models are legal so long as their output is legal.

The UK: s.29A of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA). Models must be trained by non-profit research institutes, and can then be used by anyone (including for profit entities); similar to the Stable Diffusion model.

The EU: Articles 3 & 4 of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (CDSM). There are no restrictions on non-profit TDM, same as the UK. For-profit TDM is exempted from copyright so long as the data harvesting process respects an "opt-out" process, where specific contractual forms/disclosures of opting out of inclusion in the training data are respected.

Singapore: Articles 243 & 244 of the Copyright Act. No special action on the part of companies is necessary for compliance. All models are legal so long as their output is legal.

I have vivid memories of watching Apache and The Finishing Line when I was in primary school (under 12 years old) over 40 years ago. I'm still terrified of farm machinery and railway lines.

After the end of the The Finishing Line, where the bodies of dead children are carried out of a railway tunnel I remember the railway safety officer who had presented the film telling us that the ending wasn't realistic - usually bodies hit by trains are carried out in pieces in bags because the damage is too bad.

The financial companies got higher performing ads delivered to the right people, as well as the ability to measure the actions taken from the ads. In exchange, they gave away your data for free.

Every company running ads on the internet is making this value exchange, but these financial companies screwed up by pouring protected data into Google's and Meta's dumb pipes.

You’re just regurgitating conservative talking points that don’t align with reality.

Of course no admin can do anything about the law. That's in fact what Elon Musk said: The platform should only censor as much as is required by the law. But in practice on Mastodon much more is censored than on Twitter.

The Chinese police will certainly not come if you utter your opinions in your own home, precisely because nobody will hear them. Restricting free speech only to areas where it can't be heared isn't free speech.
I got to do a tour of the place, it was really fun. It's located near Potrero Hill. I can't say anything about their cost structure but having a location that's in SF probably has some disadvantages. But, there are a lot of other craft brewers in the bay area that are quite good. Drake's, Faction come to mind. You don't have to go much further afield to find Bear Republic, Russian River Brew Co. I would not consider Lagunitas craft, maybe someone else with more beer lore could weigh in.
Well part of the issue is that there are a lot of RCs (Research Chemicals) that dealers often try to pass off as LSD, but are really slight tweaks on the chemical. They tend to be much easier and cheaper to make, so the street market is flooded with them (25i-NBOME is quite prolific). This can be a bit dangerous as there have been some (admittedly anecdotal) horror stories with people using these.

As for real LSD, it's insanely potent, and even a single batch can yield thousands, hundreds of thousands of doses. So you could probably stay pretty mobile while producing large amounts, assuming access to proper ingredients and equipment. See above our fellow polyglot genius who was hauling ass all over the country and supplying most of Rock and Roll with it.
That doesn't connect with that video or my commentary about it in the slightest.

If I did something wrong with a flofof in public, and people comment and ask my about my wrong usage of a flofof for years, and I respond with "bitch, I don't know what a flofof is, and I don't want to know, looollll, keepin' it real bro!" then I'd be a right idiot – not for doing something wrong with a flofof, or not immediately knowing what a flofof is, but for not WANTING to know and making a show out of not knowing.

This is performative idiocy.

It’s important to note that Anchor as a division is being shut down as a cost-saving measure by its owner Sapporo, a transnational, publicly-traded corporation.

Sapporo says they have tried to find a buyer for Anchor, but to no avail. Meanwhile Sapporo recently purchased Stone Brewing in San Diego and are beginning Sapporo production there while still making Stone beers. If Sapporo hadn’t also bought Stone, presumably their plan was to brew Sapporo at Anchor in a similar way. In that scenario, they probably would have continued producing Anchor beers in some quantity too.

Show HN: Predicting electricity prices week ahead
TL;DR
Me and my brother created a service that predicts electricity prices one week ahead for different areas in Europe. Users can use this to plan their energy intensive activities for cheaper days.

It was the winter of 2021 and electricity prices suddenly became very volatile and high in Europe. Many consumers (private and companies) began to optimize their electricity usage to consume more during the cheaper hours and consume less during the most expensive hours. But in Europe consumers could only know tomorrow's electricity price in advance. It was not possible to know the price of electricity further into the future. I started to think that if somehow it were possible to know the price a little further in advance, then surely there are activities that could be planned further in advance. For example: a manufacturing company has a process that consumes a lot of electricity and needs to be carried out once a week. The company originally planned to carry out the process during its regular time on Wednesday. But if the company had knowledge of future prices and saw that Friday would most likely be 3x cheaper than Wednesday, then it would be a big financial win for the company if it carried out the process on Friday instead of Wednesday.

Me and my brother decided that lets try to build such a model that can predict electricity prices one week ahead. I have education and experience from energy and machine learning sector and my brother is an IT developer, so our backgrounds were quite suitable for this task. We collected a huge variety of data to train the machine learning model and performed thousands of iterations to find the most optimal model architecture and features. We now have completed the first version of the service.

Hope you like it and would be interesting to hear your ideas for use cases or what to add/change!
