Canada is about to become a 2nd world country. No industry, no ability to own a home, no healthcare [1], only one party, banking restrictions, etc etc,.

1. Healthcare is where you can see a doctor.

I took these types of surveys in junior high. All my friends did heroin and were prostitutes. (it was funny). I wouldn't trust a survey like that more than toilet paper and tea leaves. The truly horrifying thing is adults thinking the data is real and making decisions.

Can you be a human being and cut him off? Who is this sick person enabling this? Who is passing out the money? This is no different than buying heroin for someone. Say hey, "No money, get job, bye". Let them begin the human experience. The video games will go away fast. Show humanity, cut them off.

FL here. Florida was hit by a wave of roofing fraud. They are changing out the laws (which will make sense).

Eh. Those look like anti-pee systems to me. I bet it was an official take "to reduce crime" - but those things are all slanted down, to push pee on your foot. And when I need to pee corners always catch my eye.

I have read HN for over a decade. I like this article. In this article, the author put his entire life on the line. It was well written. Hats off sir. "The greatest gift you can give yourself is the gift of being enough." Ok, yeah I walked around the house thinking about this for 2 hours.

"we weren't allowed to have a card payment fee. "

BTW. Good luck catching that. In SF, that is how many businesses work. You want to use a card? Ok, one extra dollar. Nothing enrages visa more, but, the merchant should have this right.

tl;dr. SSH though VPN only. Sleep tight.

Eh. The real elephant in the room with "ML and Data Science" is checks and balances. They take over as the eyes of the company. Guess what department is seen as kicking ass? Guess which department is getting most money? Most hires? Data. Data.

It's like having the local police department check on the local police department.

I am swallowing berberine now.

Many studies show that berberine can significantly lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes ( 8 ). It seems to work via multiple mechanisms and may help ( 9 , 10 ): decrease insulin resistance, making the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin more effective.

Or. Apparently, not.

This. They breakdown on purpose if not cleaned. Being dairy and all, I think it's a good plan.

GCP handles #1 with their recommended actions on IAM roles. Good luck doing this manually. GCP will give adivce on each IAM role, which person hasn't used their access in 3 months and encourage you to take action (remove it).

Instead I just remove it automatically - I now automate GCP's advice. https://github.com/james-ransom/auto-apply-gcp-iam-recommend...

"In my experience Airbnb isn’t even cheaper, just has more “interesting” housing available."

I still, can not wrap my head around this. The idea behind airbnb was to rent out unused parts of your house. You STILL can not do this. Motel 6 is cheaper all day everyday. I will keep giving my $80 to Motel 6, but, I KNOW there is someone out there that has a room and needs $80. The original problem still exists. I can't pay $120 + $30 in cleaning fees, plus do your house chores Sarah.

Boss: "Oh, also, add those cookie warnings for the gdpr".

Me: "No. We are not in the EU. I refuse. I also refuse to abide by Congolese law or Peruvian Navy doctrines. If I break Myanmar PII laws, I will take my chances. EU is no better than anyone else, pushing their crappy laws, I refuse to care about."

Boss: "Ok! Np."

prions "Oral manifestations are rare. Evidence suggests that the risk of transmission and acquisition of a prion infection as a result of dental treatment is rare, if appropriate infection control measures are maintained."

nose picking https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10669446/

I can't wait until we all find out it is from dentists or people picking their noses.

Honestly? You work at a place a manager hasn't heard "impact" yet? I thought managers at this point just walk around the office saying "impact".

I worked on a controversial app. I generally take the letter then throw it into the trash. I did this for 4 years, never had an issue. Github was the only one that seemed to want blood - then banned me. They would send me weird emails, trying to trick me to admit fault. They would also track new accounts I made (ip) and send taunting letters. They gave up eventually too.

Looking back, these companies can send these things out for no cost, looking for you to mess up by replying. If they want to sue you, don't worry, it will happen.

I hate db passwords too. They are super fast to crack. They are just annoying and not a security feature. I don't use them, eg passwords like: "c00lz500". I use passwords like "". We use firewalls and internal networks instead.

"Remains of people who lived on the eastern coast of South America nearly 2,000 years ago have yielded the oldest known evidence for the family of microorganisms that cause syphilis1. The discovery, reported today in Nature, casts further doubt on the already shaky idea that Christopher Columbus’s crew exported syphilis to Europe."

Can someone explain this to me? Why would this cast doubt? Wouldn't this just be more evidence to the export theory?

I feel like "service guarantees citizenship" was debated in 50BC in Ancient Rome. "In this framework, the blood and toil of immigrants won't just contribute to our nation's fabric, but will be the very bedrock of its defense."

We are going dark here.

You can't pry SVN from gaming artists. Good luck. Binary files in git suck.

GitHub Actions can do anything jenkins can do, you just need to do 300 commits to test it.

Yes. Humans really liked burying things. Burying prized or expensive objects was pretty normal in human history. Layers of dirt only piled on with time. I don't think humans did much Archaeology pre-19th century. There are buckets of ancient coins. I leave this evidence of old metal laying around: "The Horses of Saint Mark, also known as Triumphal Quadriga, 2nd or 3rd century CE, via Basilica di San Marco, Venice"

They had no wear and tear. A die that expensive would be used every 10 seconds for decades.

Yes and no. I respect the "they would have been recycled" argument, but, there would still be some. If you were good enough to cast a Dodecahedron, you are probably rich enough to keep your best one, to show off to all the new hipster kids.

When I decide I need AI to read through their AI.

lol. I know. I should have used "for"

NSA. Is that the organization of unemployed mathematicians that thinks it is 1989? The group that can't crack the super secret algorithm of "https". Yeah, that is the one, the group that is puzzled by large prime numbers.
