If an extra-governmental criminal were to get access to the data and wanted to go steal some specific property they would have an efficient seed dataset to be combined with for example MyLife data which lists addresses and family members gi

I had quite the interaction with Twitch about having lost my email domain. I can still stream to the channel but they said “that you believe to be yours”... quite funny because I believe nothing to be mine, but they came out and said that i

Being an addict seems more social than anything. It’s possible to go through a party phase and then years later go through an unrelated tough patch, having not touched drugs for years, and then hear whispers of addiction to explain the unre

Thanks. I’ve lived homeless and borrowed a lot from VanLife for 3 years in SF. Here’s my work on the subject; still in progress: Https://Harlanji.com/urban-camping-pro One of my projects is analyzing my data during various ho

My Twitter is epic. Always real name, always in some kind of trouble when people drag online to offline as though it’s a dark secret and indicates deep rage. Account is marked X rated, indicates comedy/parody, and can be linked to my o

Bonito. I want and yet have problems downloading even a 350mb file on my carrier, tethered via 2 different devices. Being able to DL something like this should be a requirement to be called an Internet carrier. Non-mobile is not an option f

I’m homeless in SF and have had the feeling that something like this exists for about a year. Used to be in big tech, might’ve pissed people off with my mouth. I draw diagrams of how electronic harassment sustems could be implemented on my

Apparently if you want spare cash, little books of this stuff could sell for $5-10. Just became aware myself, setting up to write again. That’s to say, this comment probably just saved or made me money. I’ve some hands on but clearly not as

Locking computers while away in a locked office is like using PRs on a high trust team. I’m not arguing against it, but it’s one of the earliest deep feelings I had about office policies. Locking the screen in a high trust environment commu

You can call yourself a developer if you do a startup. I distunguish SEs based on how deep they go. Developers can throw up a house in the suburbs. An engineer might be needed to extract water or something specific. CS is a good qualifer fo

It might save a person from becoming homeless by knowing the depravity that they may face and steering clear.

This clause bit Patreon IIRC hard, when a mass of people made arbitration complaints in place of a class action. It turns into a financial DDoS pretty fast.

Yuck. I just switched to them from Verizon who I left for scummy business practice. On to the next carrier, AT&T.

Do you mean in the case of near-simultaneous commits? Continuous Integration (CI) can be setup to build each commit or abandon a build if a newer commit comes in, and then the deploy step would use the latest build available.

I’m on day 1,002 in my Civic, the last stop before a tent. With showers and the library and people not afraid of each other it was pretty good and I questioned why I paid $1,850/mo for 350sqft for so long. I camp 10 blocks from there.

Thanks. Had not considered that. An acre of property is enough to get as close as possible, earning as much as needed for taxes and utilities thru death. Few other promises in life. That sounds more defeated than I like. What I mean is that

Maybe we could make an Internet for Age 35+ or so. Remember when one could take over Yahoo chats with Javascript? With containers and stuff, the Internet could be a lot of fun again. App battles in the park by old timers on the chess tables

That’s right. This system has a high hit rate baked in, based on matching the data structure to the real world usage with a predictable set of content classes. Very elegant.

My friend, one of the few people who gives me any advice at all seemed baffled that I would “make things harder for myself” by quitting jobs that make me feel like I’m becoming mentally ill. I can adopt that suvival mindset for a period, bu

Statute of limitations is 1 year, I was unaware for longer than that. The Internet means it’s without limit. A year of last access? To court records with fraudulent statements? Forever. The lawyers know they can get away with it now. I don’

I’m feeling it in the other direction. I’ve been lucky to live a relatively carefree and unproblematic life in the US middle-class, until the last few years where I’ve attracted a well funded legal team to stalk everything I do and find fau

I’m homeless and pay $10/mo for a terminal app. The value is in the eye of the beholder... FWIW I used to be a pretty well paid software engineer, and I run as much of my personal IT as possible... so for me, the $10/mo is worth i

It doesn’t seem like such a far off idea to act in the interest of “one’s grandchildren,” so to speak. There is room to invest in areas that will create good messages from the grand children. I’ve contributed to open source since I was a pr

Some application forms give a “Decline to state” option, and as far as I know that does not imply any latent bigotry. Now that I think of it, that’s going to be my literal answer if it ever becomes compulsory, as a Decline-To-Stater. Much o
