There is a lot of great content here though I worry some of it is quickly becoming outdated. Every three months google has been updating their spam filters and making it harder and harder deliver sales emails at scale.

As evidence of this, look at Rift.com a YC/Sequoia-backed sales email tool that closely followed this same playbook but was forced to kill their service as Google made it increasingly difficult to deliver sales messages at scale.

Conversion rates use to be 1-10% from email to meeting booking. Now I believe most teams are seeing significantly below 1%.

Agreed. Once macros are supported in dart, Flutter should officially endorse Riverpod as they did with provider. Either that or they need to create their own official or at least supported solution. I will note that for small to medium apps you can get away with just setState and callbacks.

The thing I like most about Flutter even more than it's cross-platform is that you need almost no packages, and certainly no "kitchen sink" packages like is needed with webdev and node: react, axios express, ts, webpack, dotenv, babel, eslint etc. etc. etc. State management in Flutter is the one thing that gives me npm vibes which is why I simply do not use any state management packages for even medium state-complexity apps as I never want to deal with a bug that is core to my program that is not supported by the framework. It's completely ridiculous that they are still ignoring this problem.
> what is the actual good-faith rationale for using this feature?

There is none, because the whole thing was never good faith. It's always been about tricking people into having a real interaction, to make it easier to exploit them for ad clicks or to sell them junk. That's the whole YouTube content creator business, and it's what it always has been.
I agree in general, but there's still a problem with encouraging people for decades to build businesses around a version of WP hardcoded to .org, not letting them "phone home," not making clear that they were building on a private company instead of a foundation with a clear mission statement, and then pulling the rug without notice. I don't think all of those steps would be legal, either.
There's a few of them, if that's all it was I likely wouldn't be here quite so much.

Quantum computers are a direct consequence of quantum mechanics. Just like ropes and pulleys are a direct consequence of newtonian mechanics.

Ask HN: Too theoretical for hackers to flash your firmware excluding boot ROM?
Most computer components have firmware otherwise they wouldn't do anything. This means that firmware exists in more than just the boot rom. This topic excludes the boot rom because I know it's not too theoretical for a hacker to flash the boot rom. It's clearly explained step by step how to do external boot rom flash on many different websites such as Coreboot. But this topic is not about the boot rom, it's about the other firmwares on a laptop such as cam, mic, keyboard, bluetooth, embedded controller.

Is it too theoretical how a hacker would do that? As in would it require some very rare 0-day vulnerability which might not exist currently? Or are there known ways how a hacker would be able to flash malware into these components such as the embedded controller or cam?

The reason I ask is because I've heard from people in cyber security saying two arguments: yes it's possible, no it's too theoretical or "way too unlikely". So which is it? No one has actually tried explaining their answer or linking to any source. Answers are always vague.

I think it's important to have these answer because when it comes to firmware security, it makes a huge different if all you need to do is to flash the boot rom to ensure your firmware is uncompromised. That would make security 1000 times easier. But if it's not enough then you would maybe have to Unfortunately throw away the computer if you think there's compromised firmware because you won't be able to get rid of it.

Don't forget to explain your answer. Please give link to source and further reading about this.

It would allow for different configurations to make identification harder. It's very easy to only operate at night and swap out the color and pattern of the lights constantly. Almost every photo device would capture the light pattern the attacker WANTS them to capture.

Yes, this is correct. There seem to be a lot of people confused about the benefit of this in the thread, but it’s very simple: This tool exists essentially as a replacement for doing a full Hackintosh build of a system. You install Proxmox on a machine with a GPU, set this up, pass through the GPU and any other PCIe cards you want to run, and you’re in business.

It turns a days-long process into something that you can be up and running within like an hour. With OSX-KVM you have to set up the machine to be ready to do all the stuff like passthrough. This leverages the fact that Proxmox makes all that stuff super-simple.

I've been getting a ton of those USPS and Amazon shipping and return related phishing texts. The first couple of times I genuinely looked at them but they always have bitly URLs and sometimes they have little thoughts at the end like "May the day ahead bring you peace and clarity, from USPS!"

It would love some feedback, and know about how other code review workflows look like.
A BMI of 25+ seems to be commonly accepted as overweight in most part of the world, at least in the medical sense. Whether it looks overweight or not is cultural. But you're right, very muscular persons are heavier and BMI isn't a good measure in that case, and it's not necessarily unhealthy if you don't have other risk factors.

> For people who are considered obese (BMI greater than or equal to 30) or those who are overweight (BMI of 25 to 29.9) and have two or more risk factors, it is recommended that you lose weight.

There is that small country called China...

You are probably aware of the "Great Firewall of China" that blocks access from mainland China to Google, Meta, etc... Which means that if you are a westerner in China and want to access the internet as you know it, or if you are Chinese and access the rest of the world, then you need some kind of VPN to bypass the restrictions.

The Great Firewall is quite advanced, and you need some layers of stealth not to be detected and blocked. Furthermore, they actively search for VPN endpoints and block their IP addresses. It limits your choice of VPNs, and Mullvad is one of the good ones for that purpose, along with Astrill and LetsVPN.

This "conclusion" ignores reality. Chat bots like those the article mentioned aren't sentient. They're overhyped next-token-predictor incapable of real reasoning even if the correlation can be astonishing. Withholding information about supposedly sensitive topics like violence or sexuality from children curious enough to ask as a taboo is futile, lazy and ultimately far more harmful than the information.

We need to stop coddling parents who want to avoid talking to their children about non-trivial topics. It doesn't matter that they would rather not talk about sex, drugs and yesterday's other school shooting.

The vehicle already has the inverter, using the same active rectifier hardware in the on-board charger. People want to have electricity when they are at home. And they are home a lot of the time. So I agree that it is a very niche case to want to have a backup system to provide electricity to your house during a natural disaster when you are not even there.

Hey there - professionally I'm a sr cloud engineer focused on Azure. I have an interest in quantum as a hobbyist and maybe a career focus in coming years/decades. Katas seems like a good place to learn things, but if you were to give a 5 year outlook, what specifically should I be looking into? Is there something as an administrator/architect of these quantum products that I should focus expertise on? Or something in the Azure/O365/etc ecosystem I should be looking at that leverages these technologies? If I was to become a consultant, what would be my focus as an Azure cloud engineer in relation to quantum technologies?

I'm unsure I am even asking the right questions. I'd appreciate any direction you can give me!
I recently did the same thing, as 95% of my incoming call volume in a week was spam calls. It's been great. The friction I feel is when interacting with ephemeral contacts like contractors, etc. I've had to try to be diligent about adding them as contacts if I expect a call back, or hoping they leave a voicemail.

It's sad there really isn't much you can do about it. I tried do-not-call lists, answering and telling them to stop calling me, reporting them - all was apparently a waste of time.
