More and more services keep going down on fastmailstatus.com. Some that don't work (for me) are still marked as up, i.e. CalDAV. Edit: CalDAV is now marked as down too.

"Inspired by the real world": The writer has heard some stories and made up another interesting one. That is definitely the weakest one, and the default that doesn't need to be stated usually.

Sounds good, but what about reducing contents by 20 %, then increasing by 5 %?

I don't know much about this company but they have been emailing me three times this year.

I've never signed up, visited their website, or used them, no idea how they got my email. My guess is it was stolen from Github, but whatever.

Their email starts with "I saw your profile" (uhh, which one?) and ends with "Best regards, Turing Team" (wait, a team and not a person is mailing me all of the sudden?). All three emails have exactly the same body text, and all have a typo in my first name. So it doesn't exactly inspire confidence.

Unlike water, radiation can't be seen which is why it is so frightening to the average person.

Just like Standard Oil I guess...

So is Julian Assange going to be released now or what?

Do you have a link to where I can find that historical data that you are talking about? Genuinely curious, because I've been facing the same problem you have.

I'm bilingual and write approximately the same amount of messages in both languages using iOS. Autocorrect always suggests words from BOTH languages mid sentence. Like what the hell, they should be able to infer which language I'm using just from the first word.

This is horrifying and whenever someone (in this thread and many others) exclaim how this is "cool" and "exciting" I picture a 13 year old boy out with his mate in the woods saying that after firing three 9mm rounds into a tree just after stealing his fathers gun. That is not to disparage these posters, this is quite obviously in a naive sense a "cool" piece of technology but the ramifications in todays already extremely polarized society of seeing this technology end up in the hands of "the wrong people" and used for all kinds of nefarious purposes makes me feel quite uneasy. Now we can't trust text, the most trusted medium in human history, and then what?

Someone else in this thread doubted that we would see AI within their lifetime, but now think there is a 50/50 shot it will happen in the next decade due to GPT-3. I wasn't expecting to see the disintegration of society during my lifetime, and while I don't think there is a 50 % chance of THAT happening in the next decade, these days that just feels much more likely than before.

OpenAI should stop whatever they are doing and create a searchable repository of every piece text generated by this model so that we have a quick way of checking automatically provenance at the very least.

Don't you think encouraging more gun ownership will merely encourage even more brutal police tactics in an ever accelerating downward spiral that may only end in another civil war? There has been a debate in the US the last decades about the increased militarisation of the police force, and to me the best idea seems that maybe both police and citizens should be increasingly disarmed rather than the other way around.

This sounds very much like Row Level Security, but I've never heard the term "Virtual Private Database" to describe it.

Now I'd like to hear if anyone has any tips on how to go from the "Alloc. Size" sorted heap dump where you can clearly see a huge array of waste, to the actual location/initialisation point of the array in your code base. Trivial when you have one file and two external libraries, maybe not so trivial when you have hundreds of files and hundreds of libraries.

Uhm, can you post links to those articles/discussions on HN? I'm genuinely curious.

A bank account is a right for every EU citizen: https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/financial-pr...

Banks are not allowed to refuse account opening to any resident.

It is an index that starts at 100 at the beginning of the graph.

Speak no evil

Does anyone have any good links to how the trade war is affecting the Chinese economy and population? Most everything I read in the western press seems to mostly concern the "American consumer" and how him/her is hurting due to higher prices. It would be interesting to hear what's going on on the other side, too.

I wonder how this is going to affect small businesses selling digital services to different countries within the EU while only having one office/country of incorporation.

"The first pillar is dividing up the rights to tax a company where its goods or services are sold even if it does not have a physical presence in that country."

To be fair the alien did come out of her once in Alien 3, and several times in Alien Resurrection (4)

I've solved this problem by adding a status field to my email objects/rows which can assume the values "Unsent, sending, sent, error". I guess it is a bit self-explanatory, but status values are set like this:

- Unsent: Default status - Sending: Message dispatched to broker - Sent: Send task/message ack'ed - Error: Send task/message any other exception

This of course assumes that your 5 000 emails are not ephemeral and are in a database.

If by "doesn't support any transactionality" you mean ack's aren't possible for one reason or the other then of course you have to go a slightly different route (pun somewhat intended) by publishing a "result" task/message and updating your database rows based on what comes back on this new "task_result" queue.

TLDR: Gmail hid the most recent password reset email with a working token link at the bottom due to grouping similar looking emails together. The fix was to introduce a date in the subject line, thus preventing grouping in the first place.

Edit: Well, actually it didn't work and it is still an ongoing bug.

Can anyone provide a screenshot on how the suggest feature looks? I'm trying to find it on Skype for Mac but no luck. Just for Windows still?

Payment of €9m equivalent demanded in Monero. Might this be a sign of things to come?

At the next tournament, two challengers are presented to the two champions with a co-title.

Imagine they also tie all their matches; now the world has four reigning chess champions!

Unsurprisingly, Upwork expressly forbids this. "Keep contact with potential clients inside Upwork [... or risk account termination]".

https://support.upwork.com/hc/en-us/articles/211067618-Freel...

I'd say once a good match between a contractor and a client has been established, both parties should swiftly move away from the Upwork platform, their rent-seeking "rules" be damned!

It doesn't have to be like this though. One of my banks has an interface in the mobile app where I can unlock different continents for purchases and withdrawals for a set amount of time.

Here's one benefit: you can request your personal data from every organization you have been interacting with.
