I saw that coming and turned the tables on them by initiating a payment dispute and a merchant block with my CC company after I realized that the NYT is wasting my time intentionally.

Is it so much different from giving someone all of your source code, data, and conversations?

I have been looking for something like this for years. I can't wait to give it a try on my next personal project. Thank you!

I think this assumes a deterministic universe. I'm not sure if that's the case.

You are right, although we might be able to make it lossless in practical terms with probabilistic approaches like combining multiple algorithms, selecting the hash length, and using heuristics to pick the most likely source.

Or we just store the hash and then brute-force it every time we need the original content.

Exactly! My real BMI is 25, and just like you, I am on the muscular side. The estimate was 19.

by blago 6y ago
BMI was way off but the metric itself is such a crude generalization so this is probably excusable.

Pity and ironic that you lean on nazi ideology, racism, anti-semitism, and white supremacy to solve our problems with liberty and free speech.

It's called Hyperbole and it's generally accepted in everyday speech and travel writing. Also, don't assume that you know how it smells to other people. You don't.

> Durian does not "stink of death". It does stink to some (many?) people, much the same way some people think that cilantro tastes like soap. Which is why you see "no durian" stickers in public places throughout Asia.

I would also point out that Thailand received 11M Chinese tourists in 2019. It's reasonable to assume that a good chunk of those came in the second half of the year, and hundreds of thousands were plausibly from the Hubei Province. Yet

Not all months are the same. It's clearly unprecedented for this time of the year.

I'm not sure how Vietnam ended up on your list but I'm pretty sure they have been testing pretty extensively, and more importantly, much earlier than most other countries.

Vietnam has a fairly large population and FB is the platform of choice for communication and to a large degree shopping. Small businesses love it. For anecdotal evidence, I have been ordering food on FB every day for the last month. My wife

Well, that explains it. I've been using FB on VPN for more than a month until last week. At the time I thought that the outages were due to increased traffic - perhaps they were routing locally and hadn't provisioned enough resour

Congratulations! It's working. As to when and how it is appropriate to reopen without spiking the curve and killing millions - many of whom would die from easily treatable and unrelated conditions because they wouldn't be getting
