I had the similar experience back in 2018... Led to temporary hair loss (I remember my hair falling out in tufts) from what I believe was counterfeit hair gel (it smelled different from same product I've used for years). Stopped using the product from Amazon and only ever order from reputable sites like Sephora and Nordstrom now.

Amazon has lost all of my business for consumable goods. It's not worth the convenience to risk my own or my families health. Fuck 'em.
Or folks will check where their spam comes from. At least 2-3 years ago digital ocean was a ridiculously major source of spam. I've no interest in investigating why, but there is a near zero chance they were following anything like "all the best practices".

This is from DO's own site based on a quick search:

"I am being BOMBARDED, and I mean BOMBARDED with spam from Digital Ocean over 5 spams a day all from the same bunch of domains, all hosted on DigitalOcean and coming from your IPs.

In the last 2 weeks I’ve emailed your abuse mailbox 20+ times and filled in the contact abuse form 10+ times.

NOTHING is being done about it. My next plan of action is to keep posting here until Digital Ocean takes action.

Do you even have an abuse team? are they doing any work at all? I can provide 30 more samples if needed."

Absolutely pathetic - all major providers should blackhole email from DO.

Note that this contrasts to AWS. I was on AWS from flat network days (where folks were running scans internally etc. AWS respond with a ticket usually to abuse reports and then usually a bit later a note that things have been taken care of.

How does AWS which is FAR larger in IP address space than DO have so much LESS spam coming from their IP address space? Perhaps because they pay a tiny bit of attention to the issue.
Vulnerabilitity research without doing the work to productize exploits is good and productive, let's not normalize the opposite expectation. It's a chilling effect.
Another thing could be that you come collecting US degrees is a WIN for US. Maybe degrees in Australia or your birth country weren't good enough for you (or you weren't good enough for them). Either way that US was able to have you for education and jobs for many years after that is win in my book.
I think it's a distinction in risk philosophy. The whack-a-mole approach is "continue until we find you unsafe" while the other approach is "don't start until you prove you're safe". I think both approaches can be reasonable depending on the level of risk. When it comes to supplements tainted with unlisted ingredients that can have harmful or deadly effects for consumers, I personally think the latter is the better approach.
I googled HTMX, all excited that maybe, just maybe, the browser people got their shit together and came up with a framework we can all live with, something native to the browser with a few new tags, and no other batteries required....

and was disappointed to find it's just a pile of other libraries 8(

I mean... when you look at it like that, at least it's got the error checking integrated as well... tho the fact it pulls in is-number is fucking hysterical lol
Have you actually seen books? While typographic traditions did go down the drain in the recent decades, it's still hard to find a domain as varied as books.

Even the most boring books often have things that Gemini purposefully omits: from styling to inline illustrations to diagrams to insets, asides, footnotes, tables of content, just tables, typographic marks etc. etc. etc.

Most life changing leaps happen randomly and by accident

School absoloutely kills randomness and accident in the name of stability, but it's not a coincidence that logaritmically the most amount of progress in our specie happened before schools were widespread
I don't think it would push down wages for high end talent if you keep the requirements they pay prevailing wages. If anything, it would increase the wages for people.

The point would be that we fill and address the talent problem longer term. AKA if you need to hire foreign workers, you have to invest in developing new talent.

I would say that total comp should be taken into account, but we should take a more strategic approach to addressing workforce gaps rather than just relying on importing talent.
Is there anything besides 'training' you think would be wrong?

What about resale?
There are two SF50s based on my home field. I’ve talked with all three owners (one is sole owned and one in a two-person partnership) and all are thrilled with their choice. One had upgraded from two different Eclipses and the other from a 340 then a C90.
Translation: he'll have a capital budget, for one year only; but he won't be allowed to hire, he won't be allowed to capture legacy processes (because that's not capital), and he won't be allowed to train (because that's not capital). Set up to fail.
The only standout feature of this car is that it doesn't come in the usual white or black colors.
Personifying a probabilistic text prediction model aside, wouldn't (or shouldn't?) the illegal thing be to provide nonpublic information to a trading analysis system in the first place? Given enough resources, it could presumably take an equivalent position to a sell by e.g. selling an index including the target stock and direct investing all other stocks. Or buy/selling multiple ETFs to obtain the position it wants in a more obscure way. I assume that still constitutes an illegal trade (otherwise it seems like all you'd need is one easy trick that the SEC hates!)? Given sufficient degrees of freedom in the market and access to enough capital to obtain low error to the desired portfolio, it seems like you must keep that information away from it.
ISPs that allow hosting web services are fairly common, but you're right, if all your local providers forbid it, you're probably out of luck.

For your second point, Dynamic DNS is super useful. I've had a good experience with noip.com/ddns.net, but there are plenty of other options out there.

Imagine raising a $1B + valuation just to have some random guy on HN make an open source version of your company...

VC economics are going to need to change with AI and I think many haven't got the memo.
Many humans have photographic memories. Not common, but not unheard of for people to be able to memorize long portions of text verbatim.

For example, the Wikipedia article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_claimed_to_poss...

contains several examples of people who were able to look at pages and recite them back. That is actually a much stronger ability than GPT since GPT has presumably looked at them 100 times.
If you replace the Calcium with chalk you would still have a source of calcium so it wouldn't be that bad :D
Ultimately, I think we disagree on the essence of the issue and many consider the 'almost enough' option to be worse than 'enough' which is the crust of this issue.

That said, I respect your opinion -- I've seen your comments on the thread and I see where you are coming from.
Indian Opposition Figures Get Threat Notification from Apple
This. This, so very much!

I built my websites on Drupal 7 and have enjoyed a decade of stability. Now, with D7 approaching EOL in 1 year, I'm looking for a solution that will last another decade. There's no reason for the EOL, either, other than people wanting to force everyone to move on to a newer version. It undoubtedly means more business for some people, as they will be able to reach out to their clients and say, "Your website is about to be a security risk, so you have to pay to update it!" Unfortunately, it means more work for me to support my personal projects.

And why? Because someone somewhere has decided that I should move on to something newer and more exciting. But I don't want new and exciting... I want rock solid!

I'm on vacation this week. Am I learning a new hot language like Rust, Zig, Go, etc.?

Nope.

I have no desire to. I don't trust them to be the same in a decade, anyway.

I'm focusing on C. It's far more enjoyable, and it's stable.
Nice little article but I could hardly disagree more with the
headline.

The small web is not for poor men and women. It's for the
rich. Those who are rich in culture, intelligence, curiosity,
engagement...

The existing "web" is for the technologically poor. It's a chavvy,
shallow plastic shit-filled trench, a ghetto where thieves and pimps
run free, and good ideas die like dogs - to somewhat paraphrase Hunter
S. Thompson. I can't see anything of value left there, and cannot
imagine how anyone would equate leaving it behind with being poorer.
Ok, technically the occupation of Gotland would be an invasion of Sweden.

My intuition is that in the event of a war with Russia, the Baltic would be a no go area for warships anyway.

Attacking ships with missiles and drones is quite popular und succesful at the moment.

We can be glad that it was much harder for the Germans in WW II.
Hard question, but in the context of my comment I would say any kind of visual media or music
Could you share why you didn't like Matomo? I am building UXWizz, a Matomo alternative, that is focused only on self-hosting. What parts of Matomo made you stop using it?
Slightly off topic, but tengential : EV's range is usually measured using some sort of "mixed" cycle like WLTP where you do a bit of slow speed, a bit of high speed etc.

Is there a "dumb" test that just fill up the battery, put the car on a bench, goes up to 130km/h (or whatever a sensible value for "highway speed" is), and waits for the battery to be empty ?

If it's a completely stupid idea, why ?
From my original comment:

At no point did I say anything about hosting a mirror of the NYT website, with free articles. Obviously. Because OpenAI didn't do that. Some NYT lawyer tried to get ChatGPT to write a NYT article. Maybe first they should have actually done a Google search and shut down some of the actual content farms which simply copy NYT content such as [0]. But instead, we get this.

But is it legal for me to read the NY Times about a war, and then charge people to interview me as an "expert"?
Here is some Bed Bug info, went through that before both in my apartment and a separate infection my mom got after being in Geriatric Rehab. Her place was extra tough with all the clutter, but the dishes for the bed legs and getting the bed free standing is the best first method. I'd advise against most pesticides as many or neurotoxic. Growth regulators are probably ok.

Ecovenger by Exoraider is the best verses bedbugs. It was Developed at Rutgers University.

Here is a totally different Rutgers Professor who has really advanced Bed Bug Control. Traps and isolating bed legs and getting beds away from furniture and walls is the basic method.

China and India combined take in less than a tenth of the immigrants the US takes in yearly. There's really no reason anyone should take their opinions on immigration seriously.
The article subtitle is: "A deep dive into the text mode editors we had and how they compare to today's".

The second paragraph says: "This time around, I want to look at the pure text-based IDEs that we had in that era before Windows eclipsed the PC industry."
No need for a zinger, every single one of your examples presumes falsely that iMessage provides a unique service that isn’t available elsewhere, a fact you yourself have already admitted isn’t true. Further, you seem to believe iMessage itself is of some critical value to society such that the absence of its availability to others is of sufficient pain so as to justify the violation of the concept of ownership, but you do this without justification.

What it seems to boil down to is entitlement. You feel entitled to this product because it’s common. That’s a wild violation of the social contract and demonstrates a thoroughly unconsidered approach to how society handles the reward of novel ideas and if normalized would utterly kill innovation and ruin the very things you seem to care about.

So you’re faced with a choice; let Apple continue to control iMessage, or give up on the idea of rewarding innovation. You don’t get both, despite your apparent belief that you are entitled to the works of others.
This is no different then me being a German owning an Android or Iphone, which is going to ping back home to some servers in the US.
Yeah, I have an issue with noise which it makes it extremely tiring for me to decode voices. That tech would be a blessing. The only workaround for now is to avoid crowded places, parties with too many people, etc

Convenience + simplicity > complexity
When I reviewed a product as obviously fake they also removed my review. The company as a whole really kind of disgusts me now.
I can think of three reasons that more people don't have personal websites:

1. For non technical users (and there are lots of them) learning enough HTML and figuring out how to put it somewhere accessible is too high of a bar to overcome (forget about updating it ever). It's quicker and easier to just establish a presence on some social media site.

2. For technical users who are capable of setting up a website, it's easier to just go where people already are (i.e. social media).

3. It's anecdotal, but I rarely see anyone browsing the web these days. Most web usage seems to consist of endlessly scrolling through Facebook looking for something to interact with. A link to somewhere else might get clicked on, but the user always goes back to the newsfeed once they're done looking at the link.
But then you cut off the career path of an FDA lackey in becoming a big pharma exec after they've served big pharma so well. Curious if they went after supplements that don't step on big pharma products, but are actually harmful to the public they supposedly serve.

Reminds me of the X-Ray glasses and aphrodisiac ads from old magazines and comics when I was a kid.

Cosmetics get away with anti-aging and beautification claims, but I believe they are not regulated by the FDA for thise claims, because a lot if it is hogwash.
It's fine to think about this scenario but I hate that people take this train of thought, dig their feet in, and block ANY progress forward based on "what ifs"

What if AGI + nuclear is our key to unlocking infinite potential? At least, to me, that's a more likely scenario than the Hollywood-inspired robots-enslave-the-human-race trope.
Reviews are transferable? I was wondering because many reviews I have seen don't seem to be for the product I am looking at at all.
Agreed. Been a fan of Egan for years and I've never met anyone who reads his books for the prose. Egan's stories are a delivery package for the ideas he wants to present, and nothing more. Interestingly, that is why I enjoy his work. Sometimes I want to have my mind a little blown by stuff that is just at the far edge of my intellectual understanding. Other times I want to be simply entertained, so I turn to other sci-fi authors for that.
I'm curious as to why you chose to turn the screenshots into a video. What are the benefits of storing them like that instead of as image files?
I’ve ordered an Apple-brand Lightning cable from Amazon (sold by Amazon), for example, and received a counterfeit.

They replaced it, of course, but had it been a gift, or I’d been in a hurry, would anyone have noticed? If Amazon can’t keep counterfeits out of their own inventory, what chance do most buyers have?
> Yours is the first comment that doesn't complain.

It is potentially more of those with problems are more likely to speak up than everyone else just posting "works fine for me" a thousand times over.

I haven't had much deliverability problems with self-hosted things. I set it up right, and I get the emails I expected to get. So there's now two of us saying "works fine for me."

It feels that implementation of that system was quite complicated. Complicated enough that quite few people must have been involved in it.

Its quite sad that developers would implement this and all keep their mouth shut.

Webpages aren't as monocultural as books, though. There are webpages that have interactive 3D models (which physical books can't). There are webpages that are basically books though. Some webpages will port well to gemtext, some will not. The purpose isn't to replace HTML. The purpose is to make long-form uninterrupted text a first-class citizen by forcing other elements to be second-class citizens.
Well, sure, but the solution to that is to make it OTC or added to the list of medications that pharmacists are allowed to prescribe by themselves. That way the medication dispensed is still coming from an authorized and inspected facility with adequate quality control. Mixing it with dodgy supplements is not the solution.
My experience with Eclipse, about 10 to 15 years ago, was the exact opposite. It was incredibly bloated. With some combination of plugins installed, it became unusable. At a previous company, we were using some sort of Scala plugin, and Eclipse couldn't even keep up with my typing! I moved on to IntelliJ around that time.
Allow me to clarify a few things:

- Format: we don't dictate format on docs. In terms of sharing important information, it's irrelevant. Dealer's choice.

- Audience: we are writing documents that are internal to our team, but also for consumption by other groups. Audience is engineering-focused.

- Consumption: we refer to documents as a way of learning all the things before asking uninformed questions to team members. RTFM is an expectation in my groups.

> instead of answering their very reasonable and pertinent questions you instead accuse them of being either incompetent or lazy.

These expectations aren't random; they are well-known, part of project deliverables, and non-negotiable. Existing projects show the quality of what's been produced in the past, to help with an understanding for anyone documenting what they've built and want us to depend on in production. After that, we definitely help those who still require help, but this isn't a surprise.
Aviation tends to refuse to blame accidents on skill alone. You can't compare it directly with other activities.

Doesn't really look like a cooldown cycle for me in China. The competition is extreme there. Weekly new releases with another cool state-of-the-art feature. Pure innovation going on there, which makes me, as a German, kinda worried...
Wind resistance is by far the biggest use of energy when moving at highway speed.

Containers is what every browser should be or have. Only Firefox as far as I know has containers as thoroughly.

Chrome doesn’t. Safari has something similar.
The supplements in the letter say they contain the active ingredients found in many ED medications...

This has been going on for years with those over the counter gas station products as well.

The demand for these products is clearly big enough, and dozens of other countries sell these ED medications OTC at pharmacies.

Maybe it's time the FDA approve those drugs for sale OTC and curb the madness.
> I don’t have control over other Linode customers, guys!

You do have control over being a Linode customer though. If Linode isn't doing enough to prevent abuse, they deserve to be blocked.

Really love the modern support experience of no-response, trial-and-error, until suddenly, if you're lucky, the void on other end magically solves the problem. Confidence-inspiring stuff
> I definitely disagree with this sentiment. At my last job, I had to do most of my work on a remote server (because it had a GPU), and I found VS Code far more pleasant to use than plain old SSH. People recommended using an editor on the server side or freaking around with Win SCP / Cyberduck, but VS Code was just so much better in so many ways.

I'm not familiar with VS Code setup for remote editing. Does it run LSP on remote and give you full hints, errors, etc. locally?

> As a bonus, you get fully native behavior and keyboard shortcuts that you'd expect from your platform. Things like text selection and copying just work, even some of your addons are carried over.

Selecting text with Shift+ArrowKey or something like that is not a "bonus", it is just a bad text editing experience. Keyboard shortcuts are the way they are on Vim/Emacs not because their developers can't figure out how to bind Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V...
The issue isn't models viewing it, it is reproducing and selling it, Imo.

>Don’t share it publicly with no viewing restrictions, yes.

They did share it with legal restrictions (copyright) and everyone is already bound by the TOS (law) so there is no need to sign. Viewing is fine, resale is not.

Do you think there is something special about the internet that changes this? Dont let anyone read read copies of your book if you wont want them to sell copies of it? Dont let people listen to your music if you dont want them to be able to resell it?
Do not buy supplements or anything you put in your body off Amazon. Just assume everything is made with fiberglass and dick pills, and shop with that mindset.
I love loops for their comfort, but they still distort the sound and make it a bit muffly. Vibes are great if you want to lower everything without changing the audio. They are magical for when you just want the world to be LESS. They're also mostly transparent and harder to see/notice.
