Hmm. I used an ostrich pillow to take lots of naps during college. It must be partly responsible for my good grades!

Yep, this is the one I settled on after trying a few out!

I worked at a company circa 2010 with around 2000 engineers that used git + gerrit + Jenkins + JIRA. Worked at another company circa 2015 with around 80k employees (not sure how many engineers) that used git + cgit + Jenkins + JIRA.

I use some publicly available spam IP blocklists and my server started rejecting mail from gmail.com because they ended up on one of the lists for sending spam. I thought it was funny. When this happens, gmail informs the sender that the m

It worked for over a year before it became erratic. If it is problematic Apple should warn me in the UI. It worked again shortly after - making me think it is not deterministic.

Amazon mitigated bad speech transcription by providing a link to listen to the underlying audio. Apple has never offered this and it has led to lots of head scratching at the grocery store as I work through my shopping list. It still beats

I agree, the headline has been editorialized in order to drive engagement.

A PR is just a properly scoped nugget of review-ready changes. A formalized review process helps way more than it hurts in the long run.

Yes, but for my threat model I avoid 2fa for accounts that don’t really need it so in practice I’m not adding accounts regularly.

Well, hopefully you created a backup by storing a copy of the QR code somewhere :)

I'm on iOS and I'm able to screenshot the QR code with version 3.4.0 of the app. Maybe the screenshot lockdown is limited to Android? In any case, if you're trying to create a backup there are other avenues of capturing the Q

The QR code encodes the actual secret data for the TOTP, so backing up the QR code is sufficient. Screenshot -> Print is one backup method. Screenshot -> Encrypt -> Save to secure location is another method.

The app has supported bulk QR code export and import for years. This makes it easy to transfer to a new phone, and relatively easy to make physical backups.

I wonder how this relates to the resilience conferred against dementia / Alzheimer’s by bilingualism?

Step 2 for a Reddit clone/competitor would be much easier and more convincing given the current state of LLM’s.

If word gets out that this company doesn’t check backgrounds, then this company will be inundated with fraudsters.

The Chinese eBay seller brought to mind the concept of the Chinese Room[0] and how it is a reflection of current LLM’s. Perhaps also influenced by a recent read of Blindsight. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_r

It is not a good future, and at least in Amazon’s case jeff@amazon.com works as an escalation route. My gmail account with the same username got banned in 2007ish in the middle of college, I definitely feel the pain of no recourse. I lost e

This is the infuriating part of dealing with Amazon customer service these days. Anything that doesn’t fit into the box of what the chatbot will do is met with “I understand your frustration, …” and it’s like, no, there is no understanding

This is good analysis, but this kind of analysis misses the point that money isn’t everything. People pursuing the university research track may simply not be optimizing their years on earth to maximize their bank accounts.

Uber did revolutionize transportation in a lot of cities. Cabs in my city were unreliable, untrustworthy, and expensive. Now I can reliably get a ride within a few minutes.

That's not my experience when interacting with people communicating in a second language. They generally appreciate the opportunity to learn and improve their (in most cases) English. They also usually love to be taught idioms so that

Exactly, it felt like nerd sniping for clicks.

Why was "Distinct Positive" left out of the submission title? The submission smells like clickbait without it, yet it is part of the actual article title and the article appears to be submitted by the author.

Yeah, I worked out roughly how much land these trees would require to grow and it was less than 0.5 square miles. I was surprised.

If you use 40g per km as commented here, it comes out to about 1 tree. Something seems off.
