The 10 foot ceilings are too low for the modern renter's sensibilities, apparently.

The picture painted was accurate and relevant

> Self-described ‘news’ accounts rapidly spread falsehoods around the perpetrator. One viral narrative falsely named him as “Ali al-Shakati”, a Muslim migrant new to the UK. This was later debunked by the police. Nonetheless, false claims surrounding the attack quickly garnered millions of views online, galvanised by anti-Muslim and anti-migrant activists and promoted by platforms’ recommender systems.

Yep, I didn't add enough newlines. Fixed

As mentioned, the SMTP protocol only allows for 1000 bytes of data per line. The author also mentions that they are sending html emails, which ignore line breaks.

So a message intended to be sent by an SMTP client:

DATA

Hello customer,<br>[978 characters] 27.00

Was erroneously formated into:

DATA

Hello customer,<br>[978 characters] 27

.00

.

The period after 27 will be removed. And this is how the html will be rendered.

Hello customer,

[Lots of text] 2700

I consider myself technically inclined, yet up until today I didn't realize numbers COULD be spoofed

One day a few months ago I woke up to a missed call from a verified number. I had been in a car crash the night before, and I was worried I missed a call from the driver's insurance company.

I called them back, and I was told that I was talking to a civil engineering firm; the receptionist was polite, but she sounded even more confused than I was. I had googled the number while I was on the phone, and yup, it belonged to a civie firm.

At the time I just assumed some engineer fat fingered my number by mistake, but I guess I missed a call from "Amazon" or "your insurance company" or some other nonsense. Funnily enough an insurance scam might have gotten me in the state I was in.

Some people lack an ear for accents, especially if they're subtle. Personally, my ear is so bad that I get Brazilian accents mixed with Eastern European accents; and west African accents mixed with Carribean accents.

I stopped reading when he criticized Google's "Don't be evil" motto as a corporate say-nothing. Yes it's a truism, but I'd argue that it was chosen because software engineers value simplicity and conciseness.

Hold on, I've heard of the replication crisis - though I don't know the scale - but are you saying that over 50% of "hard science" is bunk? I find that hard to swallow.

The paper was very careful to describe the mass increase of Cuban immigrants as "immigration shock", not just immigration. I don't think the conclusions of this paper can say any one thing about the effects of our (I'm assuming you're American as well) standard levels of immigration. Also..

  These results suggest that immigration shocks do have implications for the fertility decisions and outcomes of natives, though these tend only to be temporary and short-lived. There therefore appear to be little long-term or sustained consequences for the fertility of natives from governments pursuing labour augmenting strategies through more open immigration policies.

From the conclusion. I only really skimmed the abstract and the conclusion, please tell me if I'm missing something.

There's still no way for TikTok, or any app, to determine your password hash, so even if they test for validity (by conforming to OS pin restrictions), how would they test for veracity (being given the user's ACTUAL) passcode.

I wish the article put more emphasis onto the facg that TikTok was requesting the password through a system prompt. They don't have anyone's passwords, just a conformation from the device that the correct password was inputted. This is such a nothingburger.

All that aside...is this an nypost article referencing a Dextero article referencing an (unsourced) reddit comment?

I'd love to read the writeup if you find it.

You might be thinking of Microsoft's Raymond Chen? I'd be surprised if he's written about the web in depth
