One option is, instead of a single representative communicating with all of the other groups, a group can appoint a different ambassador for dealing with each of the other groups. Most people then will have both their normal job and also b

It seems to me that the best way to counter this attack is to not accept ID photographs from the public, but instead require a government officer to photograph the person applying for ID.

The other common case (not applicable here) is a loss leader: sell something at a loss in the hope that the customers it attracts will buy high-margin items at your store instead of the one they usually frequent.

Those are both consumer ISPs, and thus not subject to the same market pressure as I described for Tier 1 ISPs (without naming them as such). Similarly, consumer divisions of Tier 1 ISPs are driven more by local market forces than anything

Yes, the truly big backbone ISPs aren’t generally paying for interconnection to the others. Instead, they have the capital expenses of maintaining and extending that backbone to handle growing internet traffic in general. If they don’t ke

Consumer ISPs are effectively bandwidth resellers: they buy in bulk at wholesale rates, split it up, and sell retail quantities to individuals. Wholesale bandwidth is generally billed based on the peak transfer rate during the billing peri

Overzealous autocorrect has a similar effect. Apple has apparently decided that any editing in the vicinity of a word it considers misspelled is meant to replace that word. The other day, I tried to refer to a HN user by username and I mu

This is why most platforms provide both raw and semantic events: mousedown and mouseup are instantaneous and reflect the raw input, but click is meant to describe user intent to initiate an action. Leaving the raw events for games but requ

More than that, even if there are tools available for the advertisers to only target specific content they don’t want to be associated with a website that provides content they don’t like. IIRC, this was one of the reasons why Twitch was s

It’s not so much about false conclusions as it is enabling tribalism by helping people avoid opposing viewpoints. It’s certainly a trap I’ve fallen into myself a few times: commenting on the general topic without reading the article and ar

US rail crossing gates tend to move vertically, and there’s never a barrier that crosses the tracks, only the road. Sometimes, they only block the road in the direction of travel which leaves an easy path for drivers to go around the gates

Changing the demand side is fundamentally what marketing does. It’s how Frito-Lay and Coca-Cola and any big worldwide brand came into existence, by convincing consumers to choose their product over the alternative.

That makes a lot of sense. Setting up automatic dependency detection is what finally made Make click for me, and it’s not the most straightforward process to get right. How does CMake detect the files that a given product depends on; does

One thing that’s helped a lot with my listening comprehension is following along in a printed book with an audiobook reader. Especially when it’s a translation of a story I already know, I can usually more or less follow the plot and let t

It’s unlikely that, in a region that gets such snowstorms, a self-driving system that can’t handle them reaches 50% market penetration. That seems more like a “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” scenario.
