I know you're making a joke but FYI, Cops was just canceled after 31 years due to all the recent police protests.

Because it isn't in the list of accepted words[0] (most used words) as inspired by XKCD[1].

Edit: I just figured out you might fully realize that and were probably just pointing it out to OP. Ignore me. :)

That snap was 18 hours old and was lacking new details (like it being the co-founder of Gokada).

Here is an updated link: http://archive.is/7LbxX

I don't know enough about Amazon's fulfillment to know if this is possible, but maybe the sticker is unique to that seller. Meaning if it isn't their sticker that is scanned during fulfillment, they don't get credit for the sale.

I'd recommend this HN post [0] which links to a good background story [1]. It literally starts with "For those who just came back from a 15 year space mission: Wirecard is a German company that..." haha.

>I couldn't read the oven clock (blue on black) at just 10 feet away

I have good vision: no known issues, regular eye checkups, etc. But I find it nearly impossible to read most displays that use blue LEDs. If the background is blue (eg: timex indiglo watch) then it's fine. But blue leds on some of my home theater equipment drive me insane. Even if it isn't the letters/numbers themselves and it's just a regular circular power led, I find them really hard to look at.

Tuned in to watch the initial broadcast; unfortunately I'm having a lot of issues with it streaming. Good luck to the team responsible for getting it going!

>One bit of advice though, don't just jump into a mock, make sure you prep by studying first for a few weeks

Once I realized the interviews were done by real people, I realized that would be the case. I was looking around to see if that was something that could be done on their site. It looks like it isn't but I found the following in their FAQ [0].

>If you need a place to start, we heartily recommend Interview Cake [1]. There, you can work algorithmic problems at your own pace and get nice hints as you go.

I wanted to post it here for anyone else wondering the same.

[0] https://interviewing.io/faq [1] I don't want to put the link here but the link from their FAQ does appear to be a referral link, or at least some kind of coupon code. I have absolutely no affiliation with either site but if you want to support this site then I'd recommend checking the FAQ and getting to Interview Cake through there.

I started a blog at https://theforgetful.dev. It's extremely basic. I'm still figuring out Hugo, and my writing style, and everything else. It has been a fun experience so far.

I used to store this info in a private wiki but I'm trying to find a way to do it properly in this format. I did it 99.9% for myself, because if I don't write things down then I forget them. But if it ends up being useful to someone else then I figure that's even better.

>Much of those gains came from GE Capital

>GE’s profit has plunged in recent years, dragged down by hidden costs in the company’s Capital unit

>he gave himself an A for his execution of its operations, and an F for his choice of successor

Am I reading it right that the reason GE Capital was so successful during his time was because there were hidden costs, making it appear more profitable than it was, that didn't come out until later? Or did this hidden costs actually not exist until choices that were made after he left?

Step 1 would be living in a state where it's even legal to create a municipal ISP [0], since all the big guys have lobbied to try and make it illegal.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks again.

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. I like the idea of working at an incubator. Frankly I didn't realize they had employees in that way (I've never been involved with one). I thought it was more just that they provided a working space and mentoring. I didn't consider that they would employee people to actually help people. I'll look in to that.

I was looking at that packaging last week at the store and was impressed by it. Although I became fixated on them putting "No B.S." rather than "0 B.S." It seemed more natural to me to say 0 considering the rest of the design. It made me wonder if that's something that they tested and there's a consumer-related reason they went with "No," or if there was a product-labeling regulation that prevented it. And then I realized I was spending too much time staring at an endcap in the grocery store and I needed to move on.

I completely agree with your point. But as someone that lives in the US and is married to a person that requires prescriptions that can cost $30,000+/month each (cystic fibrosis), I'm in a first world country and am being excluded from the chance to receive lifesaving drugs.

Just FYI, about 1/3 of the way down your Getting Started page[0] it has a broken link[1] to the fifa2019.csv file. The first link on the page is valid[2], but the second one leads to a 404 due to pointing to .../raw/... rather than .../blob/...

I would love this as well. I use website-im-on@mydomain.com for every login. Being able to monitor my entire custom domain would be great. I assume it would require some sort of DNS verification or something.

Over 50% of my DNS queries get blocked by the pihole [0]; and I've seen it much higher. Like you said, it's one of the most prized devices on my network.

I think you have a totally valid point/concern, but that logic could be applied to nearly everything. For example, anorexia is a marker for possible mental health issues, but someone who doesn't eat because they can't afford it doesn't have anorexia.

I think it's assumed that a diagnosis/marker is valid only to that particular person based on their background.

Except if you hit the top speed of your car you can continue driving around at the normal speed the whole rest of the time. You don't have to drive around at half the speed you want for a month.

This is basically answered in a different thread [0]. They said they're passing on the original IP of the person using Warp, so it won't work in the same way as something like PIA in that way.

That seems like it would be incredibly easy to DoS someone.

Samsung Galaxy J1 smartphone is listed in the article. J2 isn't but just pointing out that at least one phone is on there.

>One thing I think is missing is a "From: a x year old" for each bit of advice

Each piece of advice has a little person icon with a number next to it. That's the age of the person that gave that advice.

But the rule is "if it's too cold after 10 minutes I'll come back in." If it truly was too cold out, then you really can quit and come in after 10 minutes. But it typically isn't actually too cold to be out there and you're just using it being cold as an excuse to not go.

I don't have an echo but there was a post on HN[0] not long ago that linked to an article[1] about how Alexa is able to add multiple items to your shopping list at once, and how it understands what is what. So in theory you shouldn't be running in to the problem you're describing. Not every time at least.

Just curious: what are the two distros?

Checkout swiftkey. Mine actually tries to correct ducking to fucking.

Your comment made me think of Bell Labs.

From wikipedia: >Bell Laboratories was, and is, regarded by many as the premier research facility of its type, developing a wide range of revolutionary technologies, including radio astronomy, the transistor, the laser, information theory, the operating system Unix, the programming languages C and C++, solar cells, the CCD, floating-gate MOSFET, and a whole host of optical, wireless and wired communications technologies and systems. Nine Nobel Prizes have been awarded for work completed at Bell Laboratories.

Thanks for the info.

I tested out Bitwarden after I posted this question yesterday. Regarding #6, that did bother me as well. I wanted to let you know there's a fix for that (at least in Chrome there is, I don't know about Safari).

Settings > Options > Enable Auto-fill On Page Load - that will automatically fill out the login forms like LastPass does by default. But I do wish they had the option to disable this on a per-secret password like LP does.

Also right clicking on the page will give you a Bitwarden context menu which provides an auto-fill option (Right Click > Bitwarden > Auto-fill > Pick the secret). This is actually more steps than clicking the extension button at the top (Click extension button > click secret), but at least you don't have to move all the way to the top of the page.

Again, this is in Chrome.
