I wonder, if looking at the actual diffs of the before/after font it wouldn't be possible to write a compiler of sorts, taking a grammar, a font and a color scheme - outputting a custom font with highlighting for the grammar?

They publish there because they aren't allowed to publish their app on the app store, which is the whole point of the legislation that precipitated this.
It's worth remembering that the main reason this kind of data breach is a real problem is mostly due to the incompetence of the IRS. For any serious financial organization, knowing a person's SSN, name, address, etc doesn't allow you to access or withdraw that person's finances.

But the stupidity of the IRS means that people are easily targeted by false tax return attacks. File a fake tax return for someone, using their SSN/name/address, but tell the IRS you changed address. Then the IRS sends your tax refund to the new address, and boom, you just collected some poor sod's refund. To add insult to injury, the IRS is probably going to audit the person whose refund you stole.
Markdown has lots of syntax from irc/email that folks have been using for decades. The popularity is also due this, it was partially a refinement rather than invented.

This is also why the parsing ambiguity/backtracking ends up occurring - humans can read plaintext and do pattern matching with context/attention whereas parsing algorithms have a hard time.
interesting, this seems like it would remove less dirt/soot from clothing perhaps? Is there a reason they only say sanitize but not clean?
I have one of these. My hacker friend gave it to me to help expand the network in Austin. Unfortunately, it's very much a tinkering, hacky, hobbyist thing.

It's extremely exciting to get any kind of communication. It would be interesting to see how well it works in a more densely packed area where people are really using it. For me, it's been, unfortunately, useless.
For a US startup I would divide annual revenue by aprox 200k for reasonable bootstrapped employee max size. So maybe 50 max? This is assuming standard software startup with most cost being employees.
Sure, but I'm not sure why they wouldn't just use a signed license file with a start- and stop-date in this case. Lots of companies, especially enterprises, run air-gaps and telemetry just won't work there. And they should know that... it's their target market after all...
I wonder how they calculated that "32 million horsepower" figure. Is it in terms of kinetic energy of the exhaust stream, thermal combustion energy, or some other formulation (e.g. vehicle speed wrt Earth * thrust)?

I don't know why you're getting downvoted.

I used to work for a PRT (podcar) company and for anything up to a large commuter train or major New York subway, compared seat-mile for seat-mile the networks of small vehicles are just as efficient as most urban transit. And then as a bonus you get no-transfer, direct point-to-point commutes. Even the loading and unloading is comparable between them for stadium event traffic.

Is there enough data in the mesh to conceal where a message is coming from? If only Alice and Bob have devices, that may be true, but if the messages are low bandwidth enough to be hidden in amongst the rest of the mesh communication nodes could be found but it wouldn’t necessarily identify where the message originated or was received.
I guess this is fine for a free _trial_, if you can host it in some separate firewalled-off subnet where it doesn't touch your real customer data.

The issue here is that if you're an org with less than $10M turnover, you're currently on the Core plan and don't want to negotiate the full "Enterprise" licence (which is presumably priced towards larger users than you anyway), then you can't use the thing at all anymore unless you agree to telemetry and some vague disclosure of personal data thing that will get your lawyers in a spin (especially if you serve states in which GDPR applies).

EDIT: oh, and PCI-DSS requirements if you want to take credit cards? That's going to be fun.

You may not be aware that Ctrl-I toggles the mode of new text, not just selected text. I think that poster was saying this:

If you're writing a new sentence in MSWord, you type "Emphasize words <Ctrl-I>like this<Ctrl-I>."

If you write a new sentence in Markdown, you type "Emphasize words *like this*."

The keys are neighbors even, at least in a US keyboard layout, so there is not a reason most US users would say it's "faster" to type * than Ctrl-I. (And if other layout users disagree, okay, but I don't think that was in the scope of the original point.)

>Reasoning is that its most likely if you have tesla@ you will have facebook@ tesco@. When adding characters you can filter on the . + 4 characters

I get you, and it's a good idea if you're using someone else's domain (e.g., gmail.com, protonmail.com, etc.) to make sure you have a unique email address.

Since I own -- and host my own domain for my emails (as does the OP, IIRC), that's not necessary, as the domain name itself makes the email address unique -- since I'm the only one who uses it. As such, I can (and do) just filter on 'facebook', 'tesla' and 'tesco' directly.
amazing, thanks!
The only way any communications medium will ever become truly uncensorable will be when it becomes ubiquitous. If everybody were using this approach, it wouldn't matter who could triangulate who, because you could never pinpoint exactly who you triangulated.

I don't have much hope that we'll ever get to that point, though - lots of uncensorable (with enough adoption) approaches have been proposed like Freenet, I2P, and Tor, but the pushback on adoption has always been: "wait, this is actually uncensorable. I'm not going to support that."

> If you opened up the phone so it could run any software, all of them would instantly become infested with malware that would massively invade everyone's privacy and probably steal their credit cards and scam them.

That's extremely hyperbolic. Not every Android phone got infested immediately with malware, despite shipping out of the box with the ability to sideload apps. I don't think the platform would have survived if that were the case.

> The Internet today is a "dark forest." Any platform made for technically unsophisticated people must be locked down like military hardware for operation in a theater of war.

That's quite a bleak outlook. One seemingly founded in fear without any faith in free software and the communities around it.

Sure, a person needs to learn some caution in installing and running software, but there aren't monsters around every single corner. There are communities that do a lot of work, without expectation of compensation, to provide safe, trustworthy software.

The internet is _not_ a dark forest. It is a place with people of many stripes and intentions. Some are dangerous, but shooting first and asking questions later is _not_ the way to navigate this wondrous thing humanity has built.
> it doesn't mean literally seconds since epoch, but instead some unix-style monstrosity

That "unix-style monstrosity" is literally seconds since the UNIX time epoch, which is unambiguously defined as starting on 1970-1-1 0:00:00 UTC.

Or it would have been, had leap seconds not been forced upon the world in 1972, at which point yes, arguably it's no longer "physical earth seconds" since the epoch but "UNIX seconds" where a day is defined as exactly 86400 UNIX seconds.

In retrospect, it'd have been better if UNIX time was exactly a second, and the leap seconds accounted for by the tz database, but that didn't exist until over a decade after the first leap seconds were added, so probably everybody thought it was easier just to take the pragmatic option to skip the missing seconds, exactly the same way that the rest of the world was doing.

I'm still not sure if that's what your complaint is about, as I don't know of time systems defined any other way handle this correctly if you were to ask for the time difference in seconds between a time before and after a leap second.

Maybe a better question would be: what do you think would be a better way of defining a representation of a date and time, and that would allow for easy calculations and also easy transformations into how it's presented for users?

Yes, a human walking faster to match the faster dog gait is much more tiring than walking at your own pace. And that slightly faster gait is still a relatively slow pace for a healthy dog, they're usually happy to go faster!

However, it's possible for a human to match speeds with the same base gait, whereas the dog gaits seem more limited to their narrow ideal speeds.
I know from personal experience that it is tiring for the knees.

What makes you think that it is „bad“?
I often use them interchangeably, but “crashing” implies it’s a bit faster (and therefore more obvious), whereas “crump” implies it can be a bit slower. So a “crashing” patient implies you have to run in the room and do something immediately, but a patient who “crumps” might gradually get worse over several hours, have to be put on a ventilator, require pressors, but with much less drama maybe?

I think “crash” gets used more in the past tense, whereas “crump” gets used maybe equally in both future and past tense? e.g “that patient you signed out to me crumped a couple of hours later” , but also, say when leaving a shift, in the future tense, “the guy in bed 6 is admitted to medicine, but let me tell about him in case he crumps”.
Last time I checked, the cockroach serverless pricing model and free tier were cheaper than planet scale for small projects. IIRC, the dedicated cloud product was also cheaper if you kept it utilized. What’s your evidence that planetscale is cheaper?

For example, planetscale charges 3x as much per gb of storage if I read the pricing correctly.

>Does the public demand same day results? If we're tapped into the psyche of the public and able to channel the public's collective mind, the public also demands unhackable results, so there's that.

Well clearly they don't since there hasn't been any urgency in this issue.

But despite the fact that you are operating in a bubble and there is only a small cadre of activists many states have in fact changed course and have moved to a compromise: DRE with Paper audit. Is this enough? Well probably not, they should add risk limiting audits as well.

>You can't hack an paper. The public also demands that people stop declaring what it does and does not demand.

Well a slow paper count can potentially call into question the validity of an election when you are in a political environment where there is loss of trust (whether real or imagined).

[1]:https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-arizona-ba...

"There were some Republican activists in Arizona who advocated that voters intentionally wait until Election Day itself to drop off their ballots. Some of this push was based on unfounded theories that fraudsters could manipulate voting systems and rig results for Democrats, once they had seen how many GOP votes had been returned early.

Experts had also warned that such a last-minute crush of ballots could end up creating delays that can ultimately be used by a bad actor to undermine confidence in the election. But there were indications that many GOP voters had heeded that call — the volume of mail-in ballots dropped off on Election Day far surpassed previous years in some counties — which Lake and other Republicans saw as reason to be confident the later ballots would break their way."

I do believe "doing A/B testing" is probably better than "not doing A/B testing", more often than not, but I think non-statisticians are usually way too comfortable with their knowledge (or lack thereof).

This is when you put up a very low to the ground HF dipole and operate the mesh in NVIS (near vertical incidence scattering) donut mode. Your node won't be able to contact anything local but it will contact a ring region about 100 miles around you with a many tens of miles gap. It is much harder to find an NVIS transmitter with multi-lateration which is why it is the mode most commonly used in military operations (for ground troops).
I wonder if the same would have happened if the roles had been reversed. Somehow I doubt it.
I'd argue it's a good idea to consider one's current job-industry as an aspect of diversification even without having large RSUs/stocks/options.

Better to have either a market downturn you can ride out while working, or chronic unemployment while your investments are strong, instead of the double-whammy of long-term unemployment and a big portfolio downturn at the same time.

No, it's juridical fact.

Where does it say this? Anyway, this system was bullocks. It was just a poor lip service which they stalled and ignored the whole time.
> There are no rules, only consequences

I understand this as "if you're willing to suffer the consequences, then there is no rule."

E.g. a millionaire might be fine getting a speeding ticket, so that particular rule might as well not exist (except in Finland? where they scale speeding tickets to income)
It is rumoured (by locals) that Kim Dotcom has been allowed to reside in New Zealand (being a German/Finish) on the basis that he spent his money in New Zealand. I don't think they are in a rush to extradite him to the US, and the US will not come after NZ for the money spent.
>They didn't actually dismantle it though

They weakened it considerably, and also spent a lot of time and money that could have been spent on other problems trying to repeal it altogether.

>it seems unlikely that the bill that actually passed was an unmodified publication of the Heritage Foundation.

I feel like it would be rather trivial to determine if the initially-proposed ACA and the HF version were substantially different. You don't have to "seems unlikely" it; go and check.
The app ecosystem is the lock-in, and creates a very high bar to entry for other players outside the Apple-Google duopoly.

Note that Google has created a dependency on proprietary Google Play Services, and owns the Play Store, so even leveraging AOSP is not sufficient to overcome the barrier to entry.

There are two established players. Apple can charge whatever they want, and Google can copy their strategy, because they know users have nowhere else to go (the number of people who will permanently switch to independent degoogled phones is too small to affect the duopolists' business)

I really hope they’re more lenient than that. Having a database go offline because their telemetry servers are down, slow, or unreachable seems inconvenient.
Interestingly, there's a close connection between the "Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory" and the "Fundamental Theorem of Covering Spaces".

>If they took their app off the App Store tomorrow I will continue to be able to have all of the functionality because they have a functioning mobile website that allows me to do everything I want to do. The web is a perfectly suitable alternative here and it’s working, so why exactly do they need to be on a store with rules they don’t agree with?

Because majority of the people expect that app exists for everything and because Patreon.com is not just a website, it is a complex web app. And a complex web app usually works better on smartphones when it is in the form of native mobile app than just a website in the internet browser.

I think PWAs are the viable future. Native apps are too much problematic when it comes to developing and managing them; taking in consideration you need to wrestle with two monopolistic behemoths like Apple and Google on top of all the technical complexity behind like I said developing and managing them.
I appreciate this very reasoned response and I think we are on the same page. I am saying that I think people are in general quite unable to think or talk clearly about the truthfulness of statements where if they were true it would upend their morality.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.
