Inside the deadly instant loan app scam that blackmails with nudes
I know that it's a tough and often thankless job. People don't understand the real cost of pet care.

Euthanasia is difficult, especially with pets. Pets are very much like children. I make it a point when calling on a veterinarian for end-of-life care for my pets and my family's pets to talk with them and thank them afterward. It is absolutely hard for anyone in the room when a beloved pet is euthanized. That's a heavy burden for a vet to carry day after day, and it's crucial that they are reminded that they are doing the pet and the family a kindness. Intellectually, I'm sure they realize this. But, it's a brutal emotional situation, and I think it's important that they are shown gratitude for taking that on.
You buy groceries more frequently as it's more convenient to stop in on your evening walk or bike ride.

Bulky purchases are relatively rare and can be accomplished by delivery service, renting a van, or using a cargo bike (one of which makes groceries and transporting small children easier as well).

Vacations - rent a car, take the train, etc.

Anyways, few people want to outright ban cars. Look at the Netherlands - most families still have a car, it just doesn't get used daily. It's a convenience instead of a necessity. Maybe they use it to commute, but not to take kids to school or run small errands.

The average cost of owning a car in the US is around $10,000/year. Even the ability to cut from 2 cars to 1 car (for a typical family with two working adults) is a MASSIVE economic benefit.

It seriously depends on who you talk to. Places like r/fuckcars do not give the same impression as your comment. On that topic, I immediately discard the opinion of anyone who uses the word "stroad"
It dates to the time when typewriters were new-fangled inventions in the latter end of the 19th century. In those days, it was still common practice for typesetters to use a larger space between sentences. Typewriter users mimicked that practice. Typesetting changed in the 20th century, now it is more usual to use a normal word space. Perception or ease of use has little to do with it.

All it takes to change that opinion is to spend a few winter days out in the smog-choked capital of India. That had quickly built an appreciation in me for even the current state of pollution controls in the West, where the air getting that bad is considered 'historic' (eg the Canadian wildfire smoke that passed through NY back in June).

Is a million dollars a reasonable price? The point I make is that you might not be able to tell a reasonable price, per se. But you can generally tell an unreasonable price. It's some x-rays, animal quality anesthesia/meds, and labor. It's hard to see how this reasonably adds up to $10,000.

Were time not an issue, they could probably take a trip to Mexico, get the operation done for maybe a few hundred dollars, and come back home, all for much less money than the vet was asking. And the reason I think that's particularly relevant is that it's not like the underlying costs really change. That clinic in Mexico is probably importing those drugs and machines from the exact same places. So developing world costs tend to give you a 'raw materials' cost, where all that's left is labor + profit.
You still need my password or fingerprint to usea passkey, and can't transfer it from my device to yours.
I def have a soft spot for Pascal. And I think Niklaus Wirth deserves more recognition in broader circles for his foundational work with pcode, compilers, Oberon, etc. I learned Pascal like many of us growing up in the early PC era and never could look at BASIC the same way again (or respect Gates for his love of it, lol). I think having such a highly structured language at a young age did wonders.

But these days folks are mostly used to the C style syntax. And I'm not even arguing that it is a better language than C or others. But the whole industry has gone overall into believing that anything newly 'invented' is good and anything that's been around a while is passé. Ironically, at the same time as the core technologies we use are based on decades old tech like Unix, relational databases, TCP/IP, etc. And many others like Lisp and Smalltalk fell by the wayside at least partly due to performance issues that were made irrelevant by Moore's law long ago.

Oh humans... :)

Btw, Logo is another one that's under appreciated. Seymour Papert was brilliant in making programming more visual and intuitive for kids. And I didn't actually know until recently it's actually a Lisp based language with a lot of power. Who knew?

In some parallel universe, I'd love to see folks like those, along with many others from that era, as the ones we heap recognition on instead of our worship of current tech billionaires. Those guys generally understood the hardware, software, and core theory. Given the mess that is computing and the internet, it's a shame that we'll be losing them over the next few decades.

The only bad taste thing that's happened, imho, was a (commercial?) project for self hosting calling themselves 'sorry cypress'. I wouldn't be surprised if there's legitimate trademark issues here.

But Cypress volunteered their work product under the MIT licenses which very clearly states what you can and can't do with it. We cannot hold others to this additional arbitary standard that you coward behind. The 'obvious' thing that will happen if you open source your software that someone else may use it to compete against you. Duh!

Cypress is trying to have their cake and eat it too. Zero sympathy for them here.
Does this handle the case of editing 2 files with the same file name in different directories? Eg, in an OS kernel, its common to have "sys/amd64/include/param.h" and sys/arm64/include/param.h" open at the same time.
>The diminishing availability of third places

Are they? The Wikipedia article says "examples of third places include churches, cafes, clubs, public libraries, gyms, bookstores"

Not sure I see any of these diminishing.

I'd rather say that people changed not the availability of public spaces. Everyone is more individualistic now, less social roles. See online dating. If I can sit at home and do "dating" with 0 effort then why should I go to the a cafe, club, gym etc? Otoh most people would say they explicitly don't want to get asked out randomly in a gym for example. So it's a self feeding loop.
I wonder how much more expensive this process is than the conventional approach.

Apparently 'five times as expensive' according to Vaclav Smil (who is very pessimistic about rapid decarbonization) in How the World Works (2022):

> In terms of the second category, as I will detail in the next chapter, synthesis of the ammonia needed to produce nitrogenous fertilizers now depends heavily on natural gas as the source of hydrogen. Hydrogen could be produced by the decomposition (electrolysis) of water instead, but this route remains nearly five times as expensive as when the element is derived from abundant and inexpensive methane — and we have yet to create a mass-scale hydrogen industry.
> I mean, you can't just share the weights of the model and call it a day, right?

you can't?
If you work a "normal" job eg one that requires proximity to people this is basically a role play lifestyle. Subsidized by the cheap gas and roads that make personal vehicle use affordable. We'd all love to cut out to nature at will, and we should build infrastructure that does allow us all to.
From a microeconomic perspective (which is also my own), I agree completely. I am trying to consider the macroeconomic perspective as well though, which quickly spirals into bankruptcy if they just start doing treatment for free for people who can't/won't pay for it. Unless/until we make it easier and cheaper for people to go to vet school, they have to make money.

I'm not sure it'd be a brilliant idea from an infosec point-of-view - the links themselves would need to be hardened in such way interfering with them would be impossible, or someone would be able to just blast the proper messages to the receivers to take over someone's body.

In fact, the conductor was half-joking. I'd probably go for fiber, even if it adds latency at the endpoints.

A graph is not a set of nodes. Getting to the root of GraphQL complaints
When you treat your graph like a set of nodes, you miss the point of GraphQL.

...leads to the common impression that building out a GraphQL API is busy work... And moreover, this is true! This way of doing things sells GraphQL short.

...serious GraphQL users like Meta and Netflix have their own entity based frameworks to construct supergraphs.

Building an app or API without a supergraph is like storing your data in files instead of a relational database.

WarMonitors is an incredibly bad source that continously posts misinformation and propaganda.

I follow Ukraine war closely and that is one of very few twitter accounts that I blocked - due to constant misinformation that they posted. This block happened months ago and had nothing to do with recent events. Even clear propaganda accounts are better than that guy. I'd love to find some example but this account posts so much that it is impossible to look up things from months ago.

I have a feeling that Musk was fed these two accounts by someone who he listens to - my guess is David Sacks as Sacks was much more active in Ukraine/Ru Twitter circles - and it would fit that one of his sources is unreliable WarMonitors.

sentdefender account I don't find as problematic.

Livestock feed is part of food's supply chain (and ou literal food chain).

Nothing to do with industrial use of gold, which is negligible, compared to mine supply (~3,000t/yr) and jewelry consumption.

Labor in UK (and wider western world) has lost out compared to gold, due to globalization (net benefit to the world). That is irreversible.

Gold has lost out to tech and speculative risky investments, for now. That is certainly reversible. Watch this space 2024-5.
It's funny you say that, since last year the EPA went down a who's-who of those that make exhaust components and sell exhaust components in the US. One of the first, most basic things, that you do is to replace the exhaust to open up flow and improve performance when you're building a race car (and reduce weight). Additionally you do tuning of the engine management system, which the largest provider of was a company called EcuTek that also had an enforcement action. https://www.epa.gov/enforcement/national-enforcement-and-com...

I mean... if you're building a race car, which is offroad use, and legally allows you to defeat emissions devices, but the EPA has taken enforcement actions against everyone who makes them or sells them, where are you supposed to buy them? I can do my own exhaust work, but I can't sit down and build my own ECU programmer that bypasses the encryption that the manufacturer puts into their product and debugs their proprietary CANbus protocol to reconfigure the fuel system mappings. I mean, I probably /could/, but we're talking about years of dedicated work on my part, and I'm sharper than the average racer when it comes to technical things. Typically you get at most 4-5 months to prep a race car for the following season.

The PR twit at the EPA can say whatever they want, but the proof is in the pudding and actions speak louder than words. The EPA fucked over everyone who does amateur motorsports in this country, point-blank.

Public transit in the US takes decades because it already starts at a disadvantage vs European/Asian countries due to public perception. It takes decades because the procurement process is mired in red tape.

"The best time to start something was yesterday, the 2nd best time is today" can be applied here. If something taking a long time is a deterrent, it will never get done(or take 20 years to get it done).
Yeah it seems sort of like a punishment for being to poor to pay for the expensive vet care.
Having a grocery store a short distance away is not contingent on eliminating cars. However, modern grocery stores are massive. An increase in clusters that service smaller areas would necessitate smaller stock. We have convenience stores of course, but what do people buy there? Junk. If they're all specialized, then it means more stops and consequently more time invested in daily grocery runs.

I don't think this is a common setup for any developed country with 2 income households. Likely the daily-run for groceries occurs in areas where women are homemakers. Is that part of the pitch? There's no way we're going back to that, or daily grocery runs.
> They were given a basic income. Under UBI they would also be given a basic income. It seems crazy to me to suggest these are entirely uncorrelated.

I can't tell if you are trolling or are actually confused.

The issue is not that the homeless people were given a basic income. The issue is that everybody who wasn't homeless was not given a basic income. So only a small fraction of people were given a basic income in this study. That is what makes it invalid as a study of universal basic income.

> how does Basic Income for the middle class invalidate Basic Income for the destitute?

This question is irrelevant since middle class people were not given a basic income in this study. Do a study where middle class people are given a basic income and then we can talk.
>> developers are often the ones in the position to best understand what the market wants.

Correct. Developers build to what the market wants. But that doesn't mean they build to what people want. If given total freedom, developers often chase the upscale market, rich people wanting high-priced units. That is where profit is to be made. That is what the market wants. But that is not necessarily what a city actually needs.

Someone is clearly out of touch with reality.

Here's another terrible opinion: pet owners have skewed the economy of veterinarianism such that farmers and livestock owners have trouble getting vets because they're too busy dealing with the guy on reddit the other day whining about how he spent $2000 on a credit card to save his pet rat. Supply is limited (much like doctors, only so many seats at vet schools), and demand for pet veterinarians outstrips it to the point that the one in the article was talking about having a half million in student debt.

I want to make it very clear that I do agree with you.

However, by the exact reasoning that allows companies to replicate, Cypress can try to block, however stupid that may be. It's no more wrong, because both things are allowable under the license, it's just how we look at the situation and what we consider to be "morally acceptable" rather than what is actually required.

The story is about a global scam that uses instant loan apps to entrap and humiliate people across India and other countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The scam involves harvesting borrowers' contacts, photos, and ID cards, and then using that information to extort them into repayment. When borrowers don't repay on time, or even when they do, scammers share this information with a call center where agents are trained to harass and humiliate them. The scam is particularly devastating in India, where at least 60 people have killed themselves after being abused and threatened.

There's more than that to playing - a musician masters their own body in order to play the instrument with the required dexterity.

My DayJob is an MS shop to SQL Server's TSQL is my area of expertise, but I know more-or-less what isn't supported or is handled differently in other common places (core postgres, mysql/mariadb, sqlite). In some places you may end up being more completely fluent in multiple rather than just one. The key is understanding the concepts (set based operations rather than thinking procedurally, recursive queries, window functions, how query planners commonly work so you can optimise for them) rather than specific syntax which is always easy to lookup.

> A self-driving car that sits idle is a wasted resource

This is also true of non-self driving cars, yet we structure our resources around this case. Car use has extreme & predictable peaks with long down periods between them. If we couldn't prevent it the first time what are we doing differently to prevent it the second time?

And again rideshare has given us a slight preview of this. The taxi constraints incentivize having cars near their predicted users. We'll either need to build and maintain waiting-car storage in central areas (eg parking), or accept idle circulation in down times.
> Is that what "log" means in videography?

> a) Lack of post processing

No. Absence of processing (modifications to make it look 'better') is the default for all non-consumer devices.

> b) high dynamic range

Yes. In practice log is about choosing which bits of color information to retain and which to throw out, to optimize for space.

Log optimizes for retaining detail in very dark and very bright areas by sacrificing detail in the midtones.

Non-log optimizes for midtones. That's all it is.

So if you have a high contrast scene (bright blue sky, someone sitting in the shade), you'll want to use log. In an average/regular contrast scene, you use non-log, that way you get more detail in the midtones.

In photography, there is no need to optimize for space (video is at least 24 frames/sec, photography is a few frames/sec at most, usually), so log is not a thing - we just capture all the things, all of the time.
