These sites are literally made to steal my grandma's money when she's buying presents for Christmas and what not.

I mostly watch channels like Aswath Damodaran, mCoding, etc., which are not related to the contents of the mentioned channels at all, yet their recommendation engine still shows me all this stuff.

So, you could theoretically rent servers and buy ad space on Adsense as long your pocket money covers it. On the other hand: this is a liability for Google and $provider -- as most of them are post-pay. If a teen ever decides to spawn an A1000 instance with 36 cores and cannot pay, the contract is void and Google has no entitlement for compensation.

Pre-paid stuff like a small instance on vultr.com should work fine, though.

Unrelated to this project, but I dislike the obsession of "unsafe" within the rust community.

Sometimes I need to dereference a raw pointer (rare!).

Sometimes I actually know what I'm doing (very rare!!).

Sometimes I rigorously tested my code (exceptionally rare!!!).

When I see people making PRs (to e.g. Actix) to change unsafe code to safe code in an API the user *never* sees, which results in a performance penalty, just for the sake of not using the word "unsafe" in the code, I get mad. I totally understood Nikolay's reaction back then. Random people opened PRs and flamed him without knowing anything about the internals and the consequences.

The unsafe keyword means that I know what I'm doing. Just trust me for once, please.

Edit: if you actually want to know what you're doing too, I recommend you writing some linked lists. I hate linked lists with passion, I think they are a bad data structure and you should use Vectors 90% of the time and VecDeque the other 10% of cases. But they help you to understand what you're spending your electricity on.

When I had an Android (OnePlus) device I often factory reset when tinkering with it, go to bed and continue whatever I wanted to do on the next day. Of course my phone had it's bootloader unlocked and TWRP recovery, since I was trying to get lineageOS + spoofed signatures + microG to work.

So basically the scenario is: factory reset your phone, go to bed, wake up with banned google account, have a new brick decor for your garden.

Would be funny if they didn't think of this possibility.

How does this work when your account has been banned? Is my phone a brick afterwards? Someone should try this out.

Depending on where OP lives, simply trying can be to his disadvantage in the future. Not everyone lives in the US where job hopping is apparently not seen as a concern for most employers.

I recently had to write an email to my local police station ([email protected]) and their server was rejecting it because my IP (vultr) was on the "Proofpoint® Dynamic Reputation"-blacklist. I owned this single IPv4 for at least 3 years, so they whole vultr range must have been blocked by Proofpoint.

Great if you can't even contact your government because they are using some shitty blocklist product.

Personally, I run a mailcow instance with Rspamd and get only very few spam mails, albeit my email was being leaked in the ledger.com hack a few years ago. When I was still using mailbox.org, I got crypto spam mails (update your wallet yada yada) in my inbox twice a day. So just a configuration thing(?).

However, there is gold in the comment section: Kristen McLean actually throws some numbers at us [1]. "66% of those books from the top 10 publishers sold less than 1,000 copies over 52 weeks". Well, uh, that's what I thought. Interesting nonetheless.

I believe the library in question is "analytics.js"

Same. It is frightening how many comments point to the exact opposite, presumably with the ulterior motive that this increases the chance of self-preservation.

But at the same time nothing can be improved by this. Although a team should have exactly this as a goal: improvement of the product/service.

Microsoft just did some risk management and decided that it's not worth it to keep their own users data. I find it quite interesting that someone puts Github's management in a difficult situation. Are they gonna terminate Prof Green's account too? Are they gonna hunt down every copy of the source code on Github? Are they giving high-profile users a special treatment?

Looking forward to how this plays out.

I mean, those aren't even high risk businesses. Credit card fraud usually happens when you offer high priced electronics. Chargebacks usually happen when you sell digital goods like templates, ebooks, videos etc.

Congrats to Mogery for releasing this!

Not to say that this line is wrong, but that the evidence for this claim is far from conclusive. The findings from such studies are mixed, partly due to differences in how variables are operationalised.

I believe your interaction with digital technology can be a main driver of depression, but not in the way it's being framed. My psychologist (back when I was suicidal and in a strong depressive episode) told me, that I should have at least 20 minutes of face-to-face conversation to day. That I should go outside and find meaningful contacts, goals, and sense in life. I believe that a lot of people, who sit in front of their computer the whole day are missing this. It doesn't matter what medium you consume as much as what you're actually missing. The few girls which I met during therapy were mainly on tumblr, discord, instagram. I didn't use fb either. Welp, even HN didn't keep depression away!

Having at least a 20 minute long face-to-face convo per day was honestly a great helper, besides the full-time therapy to stop my head thinking, and pills, of course.

Just my two cents to this line. I agree with the other comments about non-chronological feeds being lousy. The article is really trying to push negative emotion towards facebook.

Just use this proxy + port in your playwright config.

> Militarized encryption equipment, TEMPEST-approved electronics, custom cryptographic software, and even cryptographic consulting services still require an export license[9](pp. 6–7). Furthermore, encryption registration with the BIS is required for the export of "mass market encryption commodities, software and components with encryption exceeding 64 bits" (75 FR 36494). In addition, other items require a one-time review by, or notification to, BIS prior to export to most countries.[9] For instance, the BIS must be notified before open-source cryptographic software is made publicly available on the Internet, though no review is required.[10]

Thank you for linking gVisor, went through the docs real quick and it looks very promising for my use case.
