Unless I'm reading this wrong all that happened was someone had an existing leaked database of emails/passwords and then tried them on 23andme, and if they worked they took the data they could get. Yes, 23andme has some pretty extensive and personal data, but this attack could be done on literally any website. The issue is people re-used passwords, and also did not have 2fa enabled.

So the database that is for sale is just a list of emails/passwords from other breaches that worked on 23andme, along with the data that 23andme had on those users. Not exactly a 23andme breach.

Worth noting they are offering a promo, at least in some markets, that you get the pixel watch 2 for free if you preorder the pixel 8 pro, or $200 off if you preorder the pixel 8.

I could very well be reading this wrong, but it looks like for "only" 15 million you can almost make it into the top 10 with a single purchase of 860,000 acres: https://www.landwatch.com/white-pine-county-nevada-farms-and...

This looks pretty neat! I'm going to link[1] the transcript we used for our homeschool just as another data point / option for those needing this. If we saw this sooner (our kids just graduated in June) though might have used this as the excel spreadsheet we used wasn't the easiest to work with at times. That said it was accepted by a four year state college so it does work at least!

Is it though? Browsing through the Android reviews 9 out of 10 that mentioned "AI" were complaining about not being able to remove it or that you need to pay for snapchat+ to remove it. Pretty sure if they either gave an easy option to not have it pinned, or as teaearlgraycold mentioned in another reply, just have it fall down the list naturally there wouldn't be an issue at all.

Snap (then Snapchat) acquired them back in 2016

I think the issue is way simpler. I don't think its a backlash against AI as the article makes it out to be. The "My AI" 'user' is pinned to the top of your chat list. You can not remove it. If they simply gave users an option to turn it on or off the problem would be solved.

> Converted my under 8$ dollar Google Play Music plan to 14$ family plan for my Wife, and they honored that 14$ cost when YTM rolled out.

I'm currently still on the original $7.99 plan. Any tips on how to do the upgrade to the family plan for $14? I've wanted to do that for a while but not give up my grandfathered price. The price they show me for the family plan is $22.99.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I pasted the article text into the site you linked and it said 99.98% real.

No

It could be that they are using and older setup that doesn't support this, but more likely they just didn't set it up or have an integration issue between their IVR system and their CRM they chose not to pursue.

It's been 10+ years now since I used to work building these systems myself but even back then this was possible. In this day and age I agree, while it might be fine for the customer support rep to verify the data passed through the IVR, they really should get it. There is no excuse not to.

Thank you for this! This sounds like exactly what I've been looking for for years and due to several providers being in my local area right now its been under my nose the whole time!

To anyone who has gone this route, other then needing to fall back on traditional care when its out of the scope of a DPC provider, somewhat limited options in terms of providers compared to the traditional system, and of course additional cost in addition to still wanting to have insurance when you might not need their services often, any downsides to be aware of? Just making sure its not 'too good to be true'.

My favorite feature though is it seems like if you find a qualified provider I might finally get a "Dr House" who actually listens to what I say and does something rather then just following the standard flow chart.

I haven't seen this with dental records yet, but at least in my area in the US a lot of these images (xrays, etc) are starting to be available from the hospital's patient portal.

Very misleading. If you're solely looking at the price, it was on June 8th 2021 that El Salvador Legislative Assembly voted to make Bitcoin legal tender [1].

The price of Bitcoin on June 8th had a intraday low of $31,114.44 USD [2]. The price of Bitcoin as I write this comment is $30,144.71 USD[2].

Yes, its down slightly since they signed it into law, but hardly tanked.

Sure the price of Bitcoin went a lot higher AFTER they decided to use it as legal currency, but the headline is very misleading.

How would you say your app will stand out from Street Food Finder?

Yes, this!

The only reason I was excited for Windows 11 was the Android integration.

When the news about Windows 11 came out I had just recently upgraded to a new PC, the first pre-built pc I've used for myself since the 90s in fact. It was nice to see though that Dell/Alienware was among the first to be able to get Windows 11 so I was ready to go on launch day.

Launch day came and went and windows kept saying it wasn't ready yet. Then one day (Jan?) the update finally came. It started the install.. but failed. After the failure it popped up a message saying it wasn't ready yet for my device.

From that point on about once a week the update popped up in windows update and automatically started downloading, but after about 12% it failed and kept repeating the not yet ready message.

I'm wondering if the low number is less about who wants it, but more about who they've released it to so far... which seems very very low.

Also, the android integration.. though it works... does not work very well.. For example I wanted to be able to control a smart device that only has an app from my pc. It works at first, but then just reloads over and over again and is unusable until I reinstall it.

Also with the keyboard I have I often fat finger and put a tiny little of pressure on the windows key when I hit ctrl-t. Ctrl-windows-t turns on and off the subsystem for android reader so I get to hear it telling me about that all day long.

Long story short, windows 11 isn't bad.. at least when you get some third party tools to fix the task bar.. but not at all surprised the numbers are so low. But again, I think its more Microsoft's upgrade system's fault then users choosing not to install it.

Mobile looking website on the desktop, not the end of the world but looks weird on my 27" screen.

Bigger issue though is in the US we're still dumb and use F but the data is shown in C. 12C means nothing to me. 12c = 53.6F though which is above 50F which is my criteria for shorts, of which I'm wearing right now yet it tells me pants. Still neat idea though, but add Fahrenheit please :)

Edit: 27 minutes after posting this comment I refreshed and I see Fahrenheit. Thank you! :)

For what its worth I use Instagram via the desktop (windows 10, chrome) every night to view stories for everyone I follow as I prefer the much larger screen (27" monitor vs 6.x" phone). I never have any issues other then it re-muting stories on me if I'm flipping too fast.

While I don't disagree with other commenters in that if this was ever widely used it could lead to the loss of functionality for all discord users and that anyone who did use it for anything more then experimentation would be abusing the good will of discord, I also think that it was a neat project and should have been better received by the community.

This is Hacker News. Maybe I'm too old school but this project feels exactly like something that would have been written up in the/one of the original "mainstream" hacker news sources, 2600 Magazine. It is the embodiment of the hacker/tinkerer spirit taking something that was made for one thing and building something entirely different on it.

I guess the biggest feedback to the OP is maybe if things were presented in more of a proof of concept demo with disclaimers type of way rather then "use this service" type of way it would be better received.

That said, while I don't plan on actually using it, I still think it was a neat idea and kudos for getting it working. Thank you for sharing!

Yep looks much better!

On a large screen the formatting makes it look really weird.

For movie theaters its typically one ticket per person. So easy to get watch time or earnings, etc.

Not saying Netflix is doing this but if the general consensus is that the watch time is too high, perhaps they're not doing simple hours streamed, but trying to guess how many people are in the room watching it too?

So on a phone/ipad it might be one viewer, but if its watched on a TV maybe they're multiplying it by 2 (or some other number 1.5, 2.5, etc) because on average maybe two people watch so its technically two hours watched per hour streamed? That could for sure explain higher then expected numbers while still not faking viewership numbers.

>>These lists rank titles based on weekly hours viewed: the total number of hours that our members around the world watched

Guess it depends on whether "member" means only the paying subscriber, or if "member" counts as anyone in the family who might be in the room at the time of it playing.

Each YouTube creator can create their own custom blacklist of words[1]. That might be what is going on. Or if the account leaving the comment leaves the same comment over and over and over again (or similar ones at least) that might trip the spamfilter algorithm for that account.

I tried to replicate this myself and the comment went through just fine so it does not look like OpenStreetMap is banned platform wide.

[1] Go to https://studio.youtube.com/ then click on Settings, then Community, then scroll down to "Blocked words". The help for it says "All existing and future comments containing or closely matching these words will be held for review. Live chat messages containing or closely matching these words will be blocked."

Keeping the fees on refunds bugs me so much as well and is completely out of line. Sadly everyone seems to do this now.

We haven't gone live with it yet, but following this change I actually went comparison shopping a little. I'm planning on swapping my payment processing over to Braintree.. which is still paypal.. but actually does have less fees. It has the benefit of still being able to accept paypal payments (at the paypal fee rate) but lower fees for credit card transactions.

This was actually announced in a easy to miss email with the subject "Upcoming change to your account" sent on June 30 2021. It did get a little press that day but on the fee increase day I saw little reporting.

These changes went into effect on August 2nd 2021. Here is a PDF that has a breakdown showing all the changes that happened that day [1]

To PayPal's credit, this was their first rate increase in a very long time if not forever. That said this is a huge new fee for merchants while not providing any new services, at least at this time, to justify it.

Not sure if this helps but what I do quite often (and have ever since I can remember) is press the middle click button on my mouse to activate mouse scroll mode and drag the mouse down ever so slightly so it's a super smooth, super slow scroll.

There is a major difference in tracking its origins which pretty much no one disputed was China vs calling it the "China virus" or "Kung Flu". The former is matter of fact and allows for greater discussion of whether it was natural or leaked from a lab. The later can be easily seen and was used towards not only the government of China but also Chinese Americans. Many Asian Americans, including children, were scared for their lives due this.

In short, its not racist to say covid19 originated in China or think a lab leak is a likely possibility that needs a much better investigation or even to think that the Chinese government might be covering it up. It is racist to call it the "China virus" or "Kung Flu" and treat people who had absolutely nothing to do with its origins wrongly.

As long as you don't email anyone who uses a gmail address or uses google's email hosting (which is the majority of internet users now?) then you can get away with that. I did too (also having run an MX since around 2001)... but a year or so ago google started filtering all email which didn't comply into spam.. so.. had no choice but to set it up.
