If you buy someone's domain name, then they'll probably have emails going to it. So you set up a catchall address and discover what accounts are related to it, then you can use the reset password functionality to get access to the accounts. In some cases, they'll have a backup gmail account - and perhaps you can guess what it is (e.g. emails come through to Paul Davis so you guess, oh, maybe they have the paul.davis google account, and reset password on that).

That is the general perception with Red and Orange which can cost more to insure.

There are other factors with car colour:

- Visibility: white and yellow are more visible and get a premium discount.

- Fleet ownership: which mostly means white.

The amount of grey manufactured at the moment is interesting as they attract a higher premium because they are basically the same colour as the road. Black is also deemed less visible.

We actually have come up with a very consistent techniques and results that can predict the upcoming earthquake (more than 7 Mw) based on offline public data within a few days namely short-term prediction instead of the not so useful early detection (after the earthquake event) and the useless forecast (will happen within this decade). The paper have been rejected for many times now by many prominent journals for example Nature and Science, heck it's even rejected by arXiv.org. Apparently it's a taboo to perform a study and claim on short-term earthquake by USGS, and they even make fun of it that I think is pretty childish to put in a professional website [1],[2]. However, based on our results for short-term prediction of offline data, they are very consistent for five recent major earthquakes across five earthquake prones countries.

The business world changes direction faster than companies can adapt. That was my biggest lesson as an entrepreneur: entrepreneurs don't really pivot into product-market fit, the market pivots into them. The reason capitalism works is because there's this huge sea of dream-chasers out there, most of whom will go bankrupt, so that when the market's needs change there is somebody out there to service them, and everybody who's not effectively servicing them goes to hell and gets another job.

Corporations and management basically exist to buffer this uncertainty. Employment is actually a really bad deal in good economic times; owners reap almost all the windfall of having a successful product. But in bad times, the company keeps paying you even if they're losing money, at least up until they don't. You get a raw deal, but not as raw a deal as the people paying you.

Likewise with strategic direction. The market's needs change faster than senior executives can adapt: if they always produced what the market was actually clamoring for, the company would run around like a chicken with its head cut off (this actually happens when the CEO panics, and a key CEO skill, and part of the reason they're paid so much, is the ability to ignore every piece of market data saying "You're not hot anymore. Nobody wants you, and the market has moved on" and keep doing what you're doing even though your intuition is telling you that you're doomed and going to lose your cushy $20M/year job). Much of the job of middle management is to buffer senior management's freakouts and tell the ICs "Keep calm and carry on; let's see if he still cares about this new hotness next week."

There's chance that maybe there exists a revenue stream that increases by further applying that policy across a system that you don't have access to?
I am confused -- so if investors don't like the CEO, there is nothing they can do? Other than maybe taking their part of the money out?

That's true of all rear-ends, but for the ones that are influenced by the presence of a red light camera, it must also mean that the crash wouldn't have happened without a camera-induced behaviour shift in the leading car. So it requires not only an unsafe following car, but also the lead car going too fast towards a yellow and then braking suddenly, upon remembering that they'll lose money for going through a red light. Still the fault of the car in the rear of course, but if the car in front is driving reasonably in the first place, then the red light camera won't have any effect. The ones who get rear-ended are the ones who were going to anyway, camera or not.

For modern large-scale production systems I agree except in cases where performance is critical. To choose a wild example - a microservice serving geospatial queries over millions of objects that can exist anywhere in the world has plenty of parallelism at the level of each query, but handling multiple queries can be done by scaling horizontally with multiple instances of the service.

Instead of "just throw it on a thread and forget about it" - in a production environment, use the job queue. You gain isolation and observability - you can see the job parameters and know nothing else came across, except data from the DB etc.

I agree that the current nuclear proposal seems intended principally to extend the life of the coal and gas plants. It's likely born from a cynical attitude of 'who cares about how much the nuclear plants will cost when/if they do get built, just kick the carbon-neutrality can down the road another decade and let the next generation of politicians deal with it.'

I do wonder if there'll ever be a desire to build nuclear plants for baseload firming, though. What amount of excess capacity has to be built in to an all-renewables + storage grid to give the the same reliability as the current grid? Could nuclear power ever be cheap enough to compete on ROI with the marginal providers, the last ~5 gigawatts of wind or solar needed?

Pretty easy to get working as well, though I haven't tried adding any of the appendices yet.

Can't speak for the US, but having built a few versions of a car insurance comparison tool for a popular Australian comparison site; colour was a factor used by a few insurers: yellow & white getting a discount; grey, black, dark green costing more. WHile red and orange are perceived as being sporty, factors such as a driver under 30 with a Nissan 300ZX, WRX or a V8 would blow out a premium far more and some insurers wouldn't even take the risk.

Jira is already almost like "productivity theater" where engineers chart the work for the benefit of managers, and managers of managers only. Many programmers already really resent having to deal with it. Soon it will be a total farce, as engineers using MCP Jira servers have LLMs chart the "work" and manage the tickets for them, as managers do the same in reverse, instructing LLMs to summarize the work being done in Jira.

It'll be nothing but LLMs talking to other LLMs under the guise of organizational productivity in which the only one deriving any value from this effort is the companies charging for the input and output tokens. Except, they are likely operating at a loss...
Sure, and I think generally speaking this is also not a hard problem: A CA can advertise the networks it expects to be able to validate your control from, and you can also choose to selectively allow access for domain validation purposes to those networks. The modern firewall is quite discriminatory.

I just find a constant frustration that geoblocking is often discussed as "bad" when... if you aren't running a global service, is an incredibly powerful tool. Even among global services, the hesitation to intelligently use risk-based authentication strategies remains deeply frustrating... there's no reason an account which has never been accessed outside the United States should be permitted to suddenly log in from Nigeria.

What else could it be but a bitwise AND. If they had used `open_source && privacy_focused && user_controlled`, it would just be `true`, which is hardly an interesting philosophy. This way, you'll be able to do tests like `if (!(philosophy & privacy_focused)) { track_user_activity(); serve_creepy_but_useless_ad_about_something_they_bought_yesterday(); }`. Alternatively, they could have used some kind of set datatype if the number of philosophy variables is large enough, but I think the code would have become unmaintainable if they want to implement every possible philosophical alternative; 64 bits should be enough for everyone.
> Whether or not it's encrypted has zero to do with how smooth and well built a chat UI is.

Ok, let's talk with concrete examples.

1. Say you open the Signal Desktop app: either you don't get the history of the messages, or you need to wait a fairly long time for them to arrive. With Telegram, you get the whole history immediately. Does that count as "smooth and unrelated to encryption" to you?

2. Say you send a message to a group on Telegram and on Signal/Element. On Telegram you see that the message was received noticeably faster than on the others. Does that count as "smooth and unrelated to encryption" to you?

3. Let's talk about GIFs and stickers: I'm sure Telegram has many more than e.g. Signal. Is that something you consider when you say Telegram has a better implementation and it is unrelated to the privacy concerns?

4. Telegram has bots that enable a lot of feature. Does that count?

You're telling me that for the stuff that isn't impacted by privacy concerns, Telegram is better. You seem very sure of that, and maybe that's right. But can you give concrete examples? Because until now, what I've been reading from you is that the UI/UX is not impacted by the privacy, and this is obviously wrong.

So let me ask this: would you agree that at least some UI/UX is impacted by the privacy concerns?
