That device&company seems like a joke. Costs around $1000, multiyear payback (~3years) if you use it every day, you only get 400w from the computer(the rest just from a regular heater also built in), and the payback is "up to" $28, which I would assume would be the payback for 24/7 use.

At my rate of using space heaters, I'd expect probably a 10-20 year payback period (pay schedule is not clear, so it is a guess, and generous). Drop $1000 on a computer I don't use, hoping that the company stays in business for decades? No thanks. I'll run a pihole or a server or something and at least get my own compute out of it if I want heat from compute.

But a great answer to the question. Computers are around $1000 for anything approaching heavy compute, you are probably running around a 400 to 750 watt power supply, so you get a few hundred watts of heat out it (depending on load, obviously). Vs the $10 or so you'd pay for that much space heater (you get 1500 for ~20-30). Loooonnnng payback period.

Another edge case is that phone numbers get transferred and reused.

I might verify the number, and then stuff happens in the real world while I haven’t logged into your service, and someone new registers with my number.

The number is assigned to my account, but the new account can prove they own the number. If you’ve made the number unique, then you need special handling here.
> If people aren't willing to pay for it then I'm not sure it is a good business model.

People literally can't pay a sane price for content. A blog post or warmed over press release isn't worth a penny let alone a dollar. Ads unfortunately are the only mechanism to pay the sub-cent value for content.

Even if you could reasonably conduct a penny transaction that's still an insane price to pay for a blog post or tweet.

So it's not about people being unwilling to pay it's about being unwilling to pay transactable amounts of money for content that's nowhere near worth those amounts.
Only because Tesla allocates so few part to repairs instead of new cars. The Model Y is the best crossover in the US. They have parts, they just only go to new cars.

AGPLv3. Nope, not touching that one.
At least they'll let you say "duck" now.
1990s-era affirmative action in the US was purely a decision made by company management and HR when hiring though, wasn’t it? That is, it wasn’t something that involved the average employee. So much of the frustration about DEI that I have seen on HN and elsewhere, is about all employees having to attend boring meetings or events.
Well, the rub of that quote (seen in isolation at least) is that it's still less stupid.

I think with stuff like this, you can make an earnest attempt to understand why it's necessary, but it's on them to, if not convince you, at least convince you that they have reasons to believe it's necessary.

Everybody has their role to play, and these people are at least ostensibly hired so that you don't have to waste your energy understanding and problem solving certain things like compliance, process, etc. But as someone who's worked in admin for some very flat organisations, i.e., organisations with allergies to beaurocratic procedure, I've always seen it as important that the people subjected to my next brainchild at least have a feeling that I know what I'm doing.

I haven't seen the email thread, but failing to do that and responding negatively is a failing on their part. That said, admin can feel like hearding cats nost days, and sometimes a "polite enquiry into the necessity of a procedure" isn't just a polite request for clarification, but a threat to make the next 6 months of your work a living hell because people refuse to follow something you need to get your work done.

So I guess the prescription in those cases is cognitive empathy and finding the right tone. On both sides.
Going for a walk ever morning I think helped me the most. Getting sun in my eyes helps with sleep and I wake up less tired.

I also meditate and try and be mindful during the day.

I recently found something to help me be more disciplined. There's evidence it works and I will see if it works for me as I just did the exercise today.

And of course I never suggested anyone could. Despite that I provided links to a couple of past discussions that show people are well-aware using "plain Tor" is not something anyone can hide, you keep trying to reframe the question I asked into something else, a debate whether using Tor is detectable or not. Who cares. Tell us something we do not already know.

Why is Tor sending SNI. What is the purpose. It's a simple question. That is all I am asking.

For example, CDNs use SNI to host many HTTPS-enabled sites on a limited number of IP addresses. Why is Tor using SNI.
I'm not the previous poster and I don't think you need to "justify" anything, but the main reason I'd like the source code is so I can fix my own problems and don't need to rely on you. I care a lot less whether that's under an open source license or NDA or whatever: as long as I can build it and include any changes I want.
I actually checked and found the original .mid file on my NAS. Looks like the file itself was from 11/1997, so I'm guessing I uploaded it a few years later, or for some reason the upload data was changed.

Incredibly? There are many kids that age who murder and commit other serious felonies.
Probably because the entire BI article linked makes no reference to it happening in England, and has various hints that it would have happened in America (like pricing things in USD, talking about taking it to the service center and not the service centre, referring to the NHTSA, etc).

Regardless, England has similar enough laws to America in this regard, such as the Consumer Rights Act of 2015.

Have you actually read the bluepaper on it? Its really quite a different system.

I think the idea was wrong and wouldn't actually work. But the assertion that its simply exactly the same isn't the case.

That said, even if an idea is old, that doesn't mean a new take isn't warranted. They considered rocket re-usability in the 1960 and tried in the 1970. EV are 100+ years old.

Absolutely. The same is true for bug reports: if you always approach any bug report with the possibility that it may be your mistake, 1) you avoid annoying someone if it is your mistake, and might actually get helpful advice, and 2) you're more likely to get a cordial reception for real bugs.

You don't have to be excessively self-effacing about it, just avoid presenting things as though the project you're reporting it to being at fault is the only possible conclusion.
"a university"

Your problem is that you are an indeterminate number of iterations deep into people not fighting bureaucracy, and now it has completely metastasized. The number of administrators at universities is so ludicrously high that I have to imagine on some level the vast majority of them are aware of how useless they really are, and as such, the removal of bureaucracy is an existential threat to their job.

Consider this an object lesson in the importance of preventing this systematic failure from occurring as early and as often as possible.

In this particular case, yes, the correct choice is to bend like the willow and move on with life. Not only can you not defeat this process, the rewards for victory would be negligible. If the degree of fatalism that seems to entail is too much, consider changing jobs. Contrary to the loud people on the internet, there are jobs that are not just bureaucratic garbage, but you're not going to find them at a university. (They do have some jobs that are important by any measure, and if you value what you are doing because you have one of them, then by all means stay if you like, but they will pretty much all be encrusted with garbage as part of the price of entry.)

> Jain is one of tens of thousands of Tesla owners who have experienced premature failures of suspension or steering parts, according to a Reuters review of thousands of Tesla documents. The chronic failures, many in relatively new vehicles, date back at least seven years and stretch across Tesla’s model lineup and across the globe, from China to the United States to Europe, according to the records and interviews with more than 20 customers and nine former Tesla managers or service technicians.

Reuters cites official documents reviewed by Reuters staff, 20+ interviews with customers and 9+ interviews with managers or service technicians.

That... seems quite comprehensive to me? They've got customer-side, they've got insurance side, they've even got Tesla's side here. How much more evidence or citations do you want from a story like this?

Arion needs help, including care for his autism. What a painful, horrible way to live every day (effectively untreated autism). He's in this situation because he did not have proper help. What a nightmare for him.

Clearly he has some drive that he satisfies by hacking. Good care will help him identify that drive and direct it toward something healthy.

Where are his family? Has he been walking around with this illness, as a child, alone in the world? How heartbreaking. We've embraced contempt for humanity and human rights, and this is a result.
Should young children be empowered to touch hot stoves, or restricted in doing so? Empowerment to do whatever you want is not a priori good; rather, it is a prerequisite to enable other goods. But it’s important to recognize that the power to choose means the power to choose wrongly. Shouldn’t then our goal to be the creation of structures that help us make better choices?

A recent iOS update greatly improved identification. It would often get the breed of our dogs wrong. Recently it was not only was more accurate, it started being able to identify both dogs in a single image, which I'd never seen before two days ago.

A Flickr contact posted a picture of an animal I'd never seen or heard of earlier today. I took a picture of my monitor, and it was able to identify it as a coati.
Part of the problem is the terminology 'adblocker' is outdated and essentially incorrect.

Ads aren't ads. They're trackers, viruses, malware, scams. Even video ads on Youtube, whilst not vectors of viruses or malware, they're advertising literal scams and YouTube are responding saying these ads are 'within' policy guidelines.

As I've said a few times before (in various ways), browsing the internet without an 'ad blocker' is like running Windows in the 90's / 00's without anti-virus software when you're a serial downloader of interesting programs / executables (like I was); it's negligent, you're asking for trouble.

The advertising industry, Google, Facebook, etc. are hiding behind the terminology "advertising" because it makes it sound a lot more palatable than what the reality is, as I said above: tracking, malware, viruses, scams.

If it was just advertising, then I'd be much less rabidly agressive in my defense of blocking it: Annoying is a long way separated from Dangerous.

Advertising, as it has evolved on the Internet, is Dangerous.

I have no idea why you are downvoted. My parents’ generation immigrated to the US and UK, and were generally not rich, not even middle class. We could not stay in hotels, but because of having big families, we got to vacation all over and save money on hotels because we would just sleep on the floor next to each other.

That type of tight relationship is hard to form outside of family.

"The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Plastic… asshole.”

The title of this is slightly inaccurate. It’s the first time the barrier has closed at its default 300cm surge level. It has previously closed for testing with the level set down to 280cm to test it in storm conditions.
I mostly agree with this in principle, but an important point is that, when you squint, the technology behind blocking ad blockers starts looking very similar to the technology behind blocking web scrapers. If you're capable of programmatically scraping content without a human user viewing ads, then you're capable of displaying the content to a user without the ads. So any solution for preventing ad blocking implies that the content can't be scraped programmatically.

I know that web scrapers carry some negative connotations, but keep in mind that search engines like Google couldn't possibly exist without web scraping. A world where you can't block ads or scrape content for indexing is a world where only a few preordained companies have the ability to build search engines. Proposals like Web Environment Integrity (WEI) accomplish two goals for Google: they make ad blocking more difficult, and they kick down the ladder to prevent new innovative search engines from emerging. There are already many websites which only allow-list Google's IPs for indexing, and I think we should be very hesitant about anything that could further entrench their monopoly on search even if we support content creators being compensated through ads.
You don't need multimethods per se, but you need something and `dynamic_cast` is usually easiest (and with reasonable restrictions, most efficient).

Overloaded operators is a major category of problem here. The "which subclass (if any) is more derived" might be done by the compiler proper, but that still needs to use the cast internally. And of course if you ignore operator overloading, you're just pulling a Java and mandating extra verbosity; the user's problem still has to be solved the exact same way.

(most other use cases for multimethods I don't find compelling)
Yes, there are configuration mitigations though. Also, a patch is in the works:

You never have any doubts or uncertainties while reading a paper? Was that always a thing for you or did that grow with experience?
I think it’s important to understand the context you’re operating in. Universities are highly bureaucratic organizations. This is not an entirely bad thing; we don’t actually want them to operate like startups (for instance we expect them to prioritize longevity over risk-taking: we expect them to preserve capital, etc). It doesn’t mean you did a bad thing - perhaps you were correct, although it’s also possible that what seems unnecessary to you is necessary for some other reason you’re not aware of.

What concerns me is that everyone got angry including you. I might suggest reflecting on that a little bit. Is there a path where you didn’t get your way but you also didn’t get upset? And where you didn’t upset anyone else? If not, then accepting you work for a bureaucracy is one possibility, and if you dislike that, you could work for a nimble startup instead. The tradeoff is you won’t have a pension. ;)
I'm very familiar with this dynamic from work. "We're deprecating v1.0, and looking forward to announcing the release of v2.0 any month now. All past defects will now be marked as 'will not fix', and all future defects will be nonexistent, because we're really smart. If you are lucky enough to find a bug in 2.0, prepare for some gaslighting from an engineer who tells you that YOU are the problem because you have failed to rewrite your entire app around the new, poorly documented API. Oh, docs are a fast follow."

But it's one thing to try that move on the captive customer base that is one's fellow engineers; surprised to see it done quite so boldly on the general public.
Because the goal of DEI is not to hire based on diversity of thoughts. Else the places in the world where DEI was the dominant philosophy (university professors especially in the humanities) would have the highest diversity of thought. But in reality they are simply echo chambers.
