The irony is that if crypto.com had mistakenly sent $10M of a cryptocurrency they would have no hope of getting it back.

One of the core issues here is that the "caller id" information is unauthenticated. If we could have the phones themselves receive all of the call routing information that the carrier has, we could build anti-spam technology again

fwiw I've worked at google for more than 11 years in teams including the tls terminating reverse proxy, and the team that handles government requests for information and content removal. I have never seen even a hint of what you'r

My first thought was that my own Internet was down. My second was that HN was somehow dependent on Rogers. Hard to go through a Friday afternoon without HN!

No, internal channels can accomplish these things as well. Or political initiatives and lawsuits. Saying that the only choices are a larger open letter type airing, or else an exploitation of minorities, that's a false dichotomy and th

While your point around tacit acceptance is a good one I don't know if it follows that it's productive/appropriate to inject this debate into all of these situations. For one, the exact issues you care about could be very dif

scapy is awesome for writing tests of low-level network code. You can sandbox a VM or process and inject packets.

Check out "Dark". I can't explain it without spoiling things but there's a significant twist a few episodes in and it goes down a wild sci fi path.

No way. It's brutal getting home and having it already be dark. At least when it's dark in the morning I feel like I'm rising with the day.

My wild guess would be that there's something in the HD broadcast causing the issue. Something as simple as a metadata field being too long could trigger a bug in the headunit firmware. The HD broadcast spec seems non trivial and large

In this case it's an HD radio broadcast, which is digital.

The groups I've been in within Google are generally much healthier when there's a mix of L6-L9 SWEs complementing the eng managers / directors. It's something that I fear is being lost as the company grows and adds new l

I guess it depends on the language but using a string for this doesn't seem like a great choice except for user display / logging. Given this is a version number you'd want to support comparison operators, and a struct with t

Anecdote: I've lived in Santa Clara, Seattle, and now Austin. I've been much happier in Seattle/Austin and it's not even close. The thought of moving back hasn't ever entered my mind and is frankly repulsive.

Many regions in the US have been hit hard by globalization and manufacturing job loss. The choice isn't necessarily viewed as union vs non-union, but unemployment vs non-union. It seems they are choosing the jobs. They are competing ag

One part of this I don't understand is why would McDonald's benefit from their franchises constantly needing their ice cream machines serviced.

You're the one who made the assertion - curious on your sources. If you're simply looking at fiscal stimulus spending that's a pretty naive view of economics.

I think I may have used your tool at some point. There were times in geo where we'd run out of bigtable quota and I needed to hit the "emergency loan" button to keep maps from going down globally.

Not sure if you're aware but the US recently started sending checks to families every month.

How does someone have the right to take public property as their own? Maybe if the areas were designated but we are talking about people who eschew shelter.

A report to the cybertips line does not equal a police raid. Unfortunately the scale of the problem and the pace of growth is such that only the worst of the worst content is likely to be prosecuted.

Using your bank analogy for a second: banks already do report on activity to authorities who can then identify people to investigate based on patterns. I've heard that large transactions (>10k) or near-sized ones are flagged. A grea

I don't have knowledge of how Apple is using this, but based on what I know about how it's used at Google this would be flagging previously reviewed images. That wouldn't include your family photos, but are generally hash-typ
