A former employee taking IP with them is usually considered to be IP theft more than hacking, and that's basically what happened.
Most returns are not audited, and most screw-ups don't result in fines. The kind of thing that (sometimes) gets big fines is sophisticated shenanigans done by rich people, and completely preparing such a complex return is (imho) way out of scope for the 'tax automation' we are speaking about here, where a basic 1040A or 1040EZ (simple forms which a massive plurality of Americans are eligible to use) can be populated entirely from IRS-known data.
> so they get EdDs, which are significantly easier to get.

That was also my understanding.

I have read lots of complaints from seemingly smart teachers about having to waste their time on getting one of those (but none of them worried about being able to do the work and get the degree).

I have also read lots of entitled stuff from seemingly very dumb teachers with said degree who thought they were smarter than other teachers because of it -- and smarter than pretty much everybody out there without a "doctorate" as well.

And I've read research that shows that the degrees (bachelors/masters/"doctorate"/phd) actually doesn't matter much for people's teaching abilities...

Ask HN: How can sharing stories on Instagram DDoS my phone?
So this has puzzled me how a single app can DDoS a connection of the entire phone sharing an Instagram video to your story.

Why would the Android connection manager or whatever stack is used permit an application to load the connection in such a way.

How to replicate:

1. Share short on instagram to story.
2. Watch as YouTube, Facebook and Instagram stop loading any videos or content. Browsers do not load pages.
This is just pure speculation, but it kind of looks like the hacker was being ignored by Snowflake, so they somehow got in touch with Hudson Rock and offered them this promotional opportunity (to break the news, more than the throwaway line in the article) with the goal of retaliating against Snowflake for failing to pay the ransom. And Hudson Rock agreed to play along and hype up the story, presenting it as a bigger breach than it really was. One wonders whether Hudson Rock was the first they went to, or just the first to take them up on the offer.
Yep, here we go, the condescension of Hn. The point is they know my exact income and should be able to handle it, not make me figure it out at the end of the year. I have no idea why I got a random $5k bill. It could be something else. And that's the annoyance.

> But why does there suddenly seem to be such a strong sense of grievance in places where for decades large numbers of tourists have been the norm?
> The answer, it would seem, is complicated

I think there's a simple explanation; there's just too goddamn many tourists in comparison to before.

There are noticeably more people living where I grew up than when I was say 10. I'd estimate somewhere between 2.5 and 3 times more. If there are also about 2.5 times more tourists, that's unbearable.

I now live somewhere where tourists like to visit, for some reason. During the day (almost all year round) it feels like there are more tourists than locals. The town is now self-designing itself for them, and now the people who live here. It's more than a little frustrating living here now.
"Please provide examples of Democrats undoing good policy/legislation just because it was passed by a prior Republican administration."

Conventional wisdom is that if one can fund the IRS with one extra dollar, and they use that dollar to collect two dollars more taxes (from evaders), than that was a good way to spend taxpayers money.

Many economists don't agree though. If you care about economic success of the country, the goal isn't 'collect as many taxes as possible'. The goal is to make the citizens wealthier in real terms.

Effort your citizens put into tax collection is 'dead weight', and doesn't contribute to exports etc. However, effort your citizens put into trade that (for various reasons) ends up under-taxed, usually does add to the economic wellbeing of citizens.

Therefore, it's only necessary to collect mostly-correct taxes from most citizens, if doing so let's you redirect labour from tax collection into other work.

Is it unfair? Yes. But it's still good economic policy.

Had a conversation yesterday with an optometrist about this. My daughter's myopia jumped from -.75 to -2.0 in a year. Asked about the atropine drops, special contacts, etc. He said the number one thing was to make sure my daughter was outdoors in sunlight. You can read or be on screens, just outdoors. His opinion was mixed on the drops and special contacts. The tricky part is you don't know how bad the myopia would be without interventions. So my child's myopia might be progressing, but maybe would have been even worse if we didn't do the drops or whatever. He also said growth spurts correlate with myopia progression.

Good guesses in the comments so far: VIN number partial matches and targeted search. Anyone going to test what's correct?

Ideas:
1. Vin numbers are 17 characters and don't contain I, O or Q, to prevent confusion with other letters. If you throw in lots of these always spaced by less than 17 characters, do you get fewer hits?

2. Does a VPN and/or private browsing affect the results?

A third possibility is that Google has cheaper ad category for search queries that they can't categorize. This doesn't explain the diversity of dealerships though.

I saved some of the commands and urls I needed to go through the docs: https://globaladvancedmedia.com/weblog/2024/matrix-synapse-2...

(can update that with more info given time)

I'd be happy to record video of the processes to see the confusion I end up running into if it would help make docs better for the community.

I started with the matrix-synapse and got lost in nginx configs then went to other websites instructions to try to patch it up to work - and to the synapse chat and then to caddy then back to nginx and then wishing there was forums instead of chat - and wish I could pay someone I could trust to help but you can't offer money in the chat - which is a good rule -

but I don't know, haven't gotten to the part where I test the options in element and such yet, so much.

I did have a running system for over a year that I put together on debian 10 - so I know it's possible.. just for me it's like 1 out of 3 attempts to install on a new server, maybe I'm just not cut out for nginx / caddy / certbot and the like, I don't know why they all seem so hard and working with tech help via phpbb forums 20 years ago seemed like a better experience.
Not sure I see it? Maybe would help to have someone highlight specific lines/shadows. I can maybe see it if I let my brain see some alignment and ignore the mostly not-aligned bits.

It might be worth a conversation with HR and reveiwing your tax withholdings just to make sure there is not an error and misunderstanding as to how your company or the HR software is handling it. I ran into a somewhat similar situation early on at my current job, but we were able to find an issue and correct before I got hit with a nasty surprise at tax time.

My issue was that my with-holdings and everything looked fine. But I was not having any federal taxes taken out on my paychecks for federal with-holdings. Turned out to be a software issue that the company who makes it was able to correct.

In my opinion, the single biggest issue with Newtonsoft.Json is https://github.com/JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json/issues/862.

Sure, you can disable it, but the fact that it is opt-out to begin with - i.e. that by default the parser will try to creatively interpret any string it sees in JSON input and convert in a locale-specific manner that also quietly loses data - is, frankly, insane through and through. I've personally run into this issue many times in existing code - it usually happens when people first start using the library and just never run into any inputs that would trigger this behavior while testing. Then once that code is shipped, someone somewhere just happens to have the data that triggers it.

And if you look at the comments to that issue, there are numerous mentions from other GitHub repos due to bugs it caused for them, including some Microsoft projects.

The cherry on that cake was author's response indicating that he doesn't even understand why this design is problematic in the first place: "I like what it does, I have no plans to change it, and I would do it again if given the chance." I wouldn't trust any parser written with this kind of attitude.

Starlink Review: My Experience After One Year of Service (2023)
Artificial neural networks work the following way: you have a bunch of “neurons” which have inputs and an output. Neuron’s inputs have weights associated with them, the larger the weight, the more influence the input has on the neuron. These weights need to be represented in our computers somehow, usually people use IEEE754 floating point numbers. But these numbers take a lot of space (32 or 16 bits).
So one approach people have invented is to use more compact representation of these weights (10, 8, down to 2 bits). This process is called quantisation. Having a smaller representation makes running the model faster because models are currently limited by memory bandwidth (how long it takes to read weights from memory), going from 32 bits to 2 bits potentially leads to 16x speed up. The surprising part is that the models still produce decent results, even when a lot of information from the weights was “thrown away”.
Standard a better word maybe
As a writer, I think I can speak to this. I can certainly understand a non-native speakers frustrations with the complexity of english grammar, the enormous number of synonyms and colloquialisms, the variety of 'codes' and kinds of 'jargon' that must make learning and reading English profoundly difficult. Especially where the non-native speaker or reader's mother tongue isn't a romance language. I get that it must make certain forms of English - from the dense AAVE of the wire, to Elizabethan sonnets all but impenetrable.

However, I see this 'pragmatism in all things, including art' perspective quite a bit on hackernews, and rarely enough anywhere else. Most often concerning fiction, but also contemporary and modern art. I'm not sure if it's a neurodiverse perspective, or a philistine one, but I can confirm that it's missing the aesthetic function of art. i.e.: the pleasure many people obtain from creating and experiencing it. There seems to be a frustration that some people who don't or can't engage in producing or enjoying certain kinds of art have - that becomes a denial of the value of the work altogether. 'I don't get it, so there's nothing there to get'.

Specific to Joyce and the modernists is an absolute mastery of the complexity and nuance of a wide breath of kinds of English (and in Joyce's case numerous other European languages). To a native speaker with a strong grasp of language, and a love of words, reading Joyce or TS Elliot, or Yeats etc, is like listening to a complex piece of classical music. The use of reference, of meter, of onomatopoeia, the play with homonyms and antonyms, and at a higher level with the structure of stories and narrative traditions etc - all give the reader pleasure. In the hands of a truly great writer, like those above, they also serve to create layers of meaning in the way a koan or painting can contain complex fractal patterns of meaning. Reading a great writer, working with the nuances of language and narrative can literally lift the reader into a state of heightened consciousness. A place where new realisations about society, the self, the emotional depths and nuances of other people are elucidated in a way that's genuinely mind expanding.

It's absolutely fine if you don't find this in literature - whether in a second language or your own. It's naive to assume that it doesn't exist because you personally can't perceive it. Aptly enough - that's a contradiction many writers have explored. Our tendency to diminish the inner lives of others, or the worth of things we cannot appreciate. One piece that springs to mind is David Foster Wallace's essay 'This is Water' - https://fs.blog/david-foster-wallace-this-is-water/

Kind of: IMHO it's to 'simplify' negotiations to certain extent.

Given that Oklo is a publicly traded company, and major financial deals may have material effects on stock, there are procedures for handling those deals as if some folks know about a (potential) deal but others do not, you can get into trouble with insider information.

By public announcing the negotiations and intent then the handling of information—especially with-in Oklo—can perhaps be more flexible and less siloed, which allows more folks to talk about what's going (both internally and externally). This way the negotiating team can (e.g.) pull in any random employee into a meeting to talk about (say) technical details about connections, power factors, support, without having to worry about 'internal embargoes'.
Very easy to draw extremely wrong conclusions from this line of thought without factoring in the long-term cost of declining trust in the rule of law.
This is a bizarrely anti-English take. There's appreciation for the beauty of the language for literature/poetry in every language, as far as im aware. Look at Japanese poetry for one obvious example that takes appreciation

> no exact match but this site has a bunch of strings with most of the same characters

I suspect it's something similar, but more like partial string match which may score as "close enough to display". I get consistent results with the same hex string - dealerships - but if I quote it (exact match), I get no matches.
I can't really see what you're saying, and I tend to suspect that's because you don't know either.

But here, look at it this way:

The worst-case scenario is that "the rest of us" continue producing the things we already produce, and the Chinese aren't willing to buy them, so we have to use them ourselves.

The reason the investors care is presumably because of the fear that there will be significant, material financial consequences for the business arising from harms that affect the users.
