The fun thing with ToS is that you know every large company with a ToS (or EULA for that matter) has analytics and knows exactly how long you read that ToS (if you did at all), and is smart enough to know objectively if you read it or did not read it.

The common denominator in the communication copy seems to be related to accounts belonging to minors. Microsoft mentions "If you are a parent or guardian, you are responsible for your child’s or teenager’s use of Microsoft products and services, including purchases", Meta's highlights revolve around "Parent-managed accounts", and PayPal did not provide anything meaningful about changes in the email.

Ahh good point that I forgot. I certified as a rescue scuba diver but it has been almost 10 years now!

I don’t know if this applies on the surface, but divers don’t use pure oxygen on dives because of oxygen toxicity.

Hugging yourself is a way to overcome the vertigo effects and associated nausea that can happen underwater. I’m actually not sure if it works on land!

I have experienced nitrogen narcosis before. It was like getting drunk very fast, including the room spinning. I hugged myself and ascended maybe 2-4m above the rest of the group and got back to normal pretty quickly after that and was able to continue to the dive.

AWS or cloudflare?

I can't help but think this is how assembly programmers viewed people using compiled languages, or how punched card programmers viewed people using interactive terminals.

It's working fine in Chrome on Windows.

I think the buildup in Crime and Punishment is what makes the resolution so good. I distinctly remember a point where the book delivered the most intense literature derived frisson I had ever experienced.

It was a bit of a slog and I’ve never been tempted to pick it back up, but it was worth it.

Dream journaling improves dream recall. You have to do it right away as you may forget you even dreamt within a few minutes.

I met a dj few weeks ago that had vocals, drums, and bass all on knobs that could do this on the fly in realtime. I bet it works in a similar way under the hood.

I believe the program he was using was djPROAI[0].

But consider that there is Stubhub and there is the shell company intermediary. Now Stubhub recognizes $1 from the buyer and $1 from the seller for the first transaction, and again $1 from the buyer and $1 from the seller for the second transaction.

This smells like an accounting trick to boost published revenue numbers, and seems plausible given that Stubhub announced they were on IPO track last year.

I interviewed somewhere with an ex-Googler who revealed they cache all of the search results for terms they have seen before, then when they update the index they also update the cached results. From that perspective, fast search results aren't actually that exciting since you can constantly run a background task to update the cached results and just serve those as the requests come in. This caching and response time seem orthogonal to the speed of the actual act of calculating search results.

I considered that, but consider that shell companies are buying and reselling the tickets - then the main Stubhub entity collects all of the fees from each transaction. Now they get to show higher revenue for the Stubhub entity. Stubhub is trying to IPO and this feels like a way to boost numbers in order to boost valuation.

Stubhub collects a fee every time a ticket changes hands. It's in their interest to buy the tickets off people and then resell them themselves, since they will collect two fees in that case. Couple that with the fact that they're in a unique position to measure demand and model future pricing, they can effectively double dip with little risk.

Further, the shell companies could be something Stubhub is doing to derisk the arbitrage portion of the transaction to isolate losses associated with inability to sell the tickets for a profit to the shell company rather than to Stubhub.

Stubhub was supposed to IPO in 2022, but it doesn't look like they did. This kind of 'gaming the numbers to pump valuation' doesn't seem implausible for a company that is trying to IPO.

I'm a little 10 years out from writing C++ professionally and I found this cheat sheet[0] useful. Basically if you have an inkling of the concept you're looking for, just search on that cheat sheet to find the relevant new C++ thing. Specifically for me, we used Boost for smart pointers which are now part of the stdlib, and threads are now part of the stdlib as well.

It seems biased towards whatever I put in the first prompt.

I had a friend with a life coach in high school and he was absolutely devastated when he was only accepted to state school. He also hated the extracurriculars he had to endure.

One of my front teeth got broken at a pool party in Thailand. I was able to get it fixed the next day with a walk-in appointment for $75. The fix lasted for something like 5 years.

An implant involves multiple appointments over like 2-4 months.

I have had an implant and for me it was around $2.5k with insurance in the midwest.

Is the diet angle related to the contact of the food with the teeth, or is the related to something that happens after digestion?

If it were only related to contact of food with teeth, wouldn't rinsing your mouth after eating achieve the same effect as any diet like "carnivore diet"?

In my ideal commute I'd be sleeping, so I would prefer the long first, short second option. That way I can get in a longer period of shut-eye before transferring and waking up for the destination.

Yes, though in the case I am most familiar with, making the payment was a big deal because the hackers were in a sanctioned nation, which makes sending payments there illegal. If I recall correctly they went through some intermediary but still made the ransom payment. Which goes against all of the annual import/export corpo training, but I guess they found a loophole.

To me this isn't a huge loss as I have set firefox as my default browser, but I really use Chrome. The net result is that all of the tracking links I click in email get opened in a browser that I hardly use and that has hardly any context about me - no cookies, etc. Then I can copy the actual destination url into my real browser.

My chemistry professors told us that if someone tried to drink the ethanol in the lab their throat would seal off and they would start to choke because it will suck the moisture out of your tissue due to it being nearly anhydrous.

> Even after I shut off my IPFS gateway they continued sending notices.

It seems like those notices were made in bad faith. It would be nice if they faced some punishment.

It's quite rich to self-refer as "TI". I feel like Texas Instruments has claimed that.
