The redacted screenshot at https://nxdomain.no/~peter/blogpix/likely_suspicious.jpg indicates that the sending server used an IPv6 address that ends with the digits 19. The SPF record for bsdly.net includes two IP

You can even describe it with your own words. I picked this at random from the middle of the page: "Notoriously, egg prices quadrupled over the past few years, after mass culls of hens to halt bird flu. But a typical basket of grocerie

Oh god, collecting these screenshots must've magnified the pain so much.

It's odd, in a way — when you have a well-paying job, you have nothing from an accounting viewpoint and the owners of the organisation have a valuable asset. The skill that you contribute to the organisation is accounted for as a finan

Ah, let's have a long discussion of this. Unicode avoids "different" and "same", https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/ uses phrases like compatibility equivalence. The whole thing is compl

Was the question about Will whatshisname? I'd rather not mention his possible transgressions, since I hadn't even heard the name until this thread. Post a story about him to HN and I'll either comment or miss the thread, both

IMNSHO she didn't admit and correct the mistake — yet. She admitted one mistake and has corrected none, and the one she admitted was IMNSHO not the severe one. She made several mistakes, of which I'll describe two. One (modestly s

I don't see why the languages matter. AFAICT, the major factor here is making a stolen phone useless on as many networks as possible. The point of the GSMA registry is that one shouldn't be able to ship a stolen phone across the b

I think you mean: If your entire customer-facing service is built on Cloudflare and the rest doesn't matter, etc. But I suspect that the rest matters. For example, will you benefit from having your domain working when the admin team wo

The app itself seems to be a reinvention of https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/connectivity-for-g... which is good I suppose, but why not use the original registry?

No double standard. On one hand, I think that people should check before publication and not publish shit. That goes for posting on the internet, and also about publishing books. Separately and orthogonally, I think that someone who doesn&#

Didn't that book suggest that a single building used 20% of the water in South America? Amazingly sloppy. I really do think that people should be careful about what they say in public and measure their words. And further, I think that

People claim enormous sums. But it seems terribly odd to me. One company that's mentioned often has enough employees in Dublin to fill four office buildings. That certainly sounds like a real business to me, not a tax dodge.

The tax on companies in Norway is entirely reasonable and works largely as I see when I google those terms. Some people complain about the taxation level, as you would expect. Some people always complain. Perhaps I'd better describe th

No, not a truck. But if you and a pal own a small business, maybe you employ fifteen electricians and business is slow for a few years, slow enough that you make no profit but not so slow that you have to fire anyone, then the assessed valu

There are a couple of problems. If you own a business, ie. not a small fraction of a listed company but your own business, then all is well so long as you make a nice profit every year. But if you have a string of lean years and run out of

Explain it again. Ending subsidies ends market distortions. Why is this leftist? What is your preferred adjective for a party that wants to pick winners (for one market sector, many sectors, all) and your preferred adjective for a party tha

by Arnt 11mo ago
Ending subsidies doesn't sound at all lefty to me. Democracy also not. I don't know what parties were in front of general free education when that was a big issue many decades ago, so I can't assess that.

Someone posted a paper to HN that investigated the reasons for overruns quite thoroughly, from when the first reactors were built. Fifty pages or so. As I recall, none of the major reasons were related to reactor size. There were issues suc

Well, the original intent was to ask the user for permission at installation time, which turned out to be a poor idea after a while. Perhaps you mean that it would have been simple to change the API in some particular way, while retaining c

Android doesn't grant this by default, strictly speaking. Rather, an application can enable it by listing it in the application manifest. Most permissions require a question to to the user. Did you find a suitable app? I don't rea

The network permission was displayed in the first versions of Android, then removed. I heard ( hearsay alert ) at the time that it was because so many apps needed it, and they wanted to get rid of always-yes questions. IIRC this happened be

Many things are only obvious until you try to spell out the details. Do installed cables, switches etc. have a shorter lifetime in the cities, such that they'll be replaced more often and thus will tend to be newer and better? Does fib
