Playing devil’s advocate, perhaps the level of risk associated with allowing low-level (or even senior manager-level) support staff to transfer ownership of accounts is too high? The level of sophistication of scammers/hackers/fraudsters is likely well above what Facebook would likely employ as support staff. They likely would need to staff paranoid paralegals to ensure customer support doesn’t become yet another lucrative vector to compromise FB accounts.
Probably a very secure way if it requires you to appear in person at court and provide documents proving you are who you say you are.
For requests of account ownership transfer or resets, I would say this is probably the best way to go about it, as it basically prevents people operating in other countries from having a chance at taking over your account remotely by playing customer service reps, and greatly raises the barrier in general for any fraudulent activity happening in the process.
But in a lot of these cases, ownership of the account isn't in question. I don't see how a request of the form "unban me" could be used to steal accounts.
Are you a musician? Have you ever used DAW like Cubase or Pro Tools? If not, have you ever tried the FOSS (GPLv3) Audacity audio editor [1]. Waves and Waveforms are colloquial terminology, so the terms are familiar to anyone in the industry as well as your average hobbyist.
Additionally, PCM [2] is at the heart of many of these tools, and is what is converted between digital and analog for real-world use cases.
This is literally how the ear works [3], so before arguing that this is the "worst possible representation of signal state," try listening to the sounds around you and think about how it is that you can perceive them.
According to your link the ear mostly work in the frequency domain:
Once the vibrations cause the fluid inside the cochlea to ripple, a traveling wave forms along the basilar membrane. Hair cells—sensory cells sitting on top of the basilar membrane—ride the wave. Hair cells near the wide end of the snail-shaped cochlea detect higher-pitched sounds, such as an infant crying. Those closer to the center detect lower-pitched sounds, such as a large dog barking.
Yeah, except no; the ear works by having cillia that each resonate at different frequencies, differentiated into a log-periodic type response. It is mostly a "frequency domain" mechanism though in the real world the time component is obviously necessary to manifest frequency. If we want to have a debate about how best to call it, the closest term I might reach for from the quite often mislabeled vernacular of the music/production/audio world would be "grains" / granular synthesis.
WRT the waveform tool in DAWs you should be aware that it doesnt normally work like you may assume it does. If you start dragging points around in there you typically are not actually doing raw edits to the time domain samples but having your edits applied through a filter that tries to minimize ringing and noise. That is to say the DAW will typically not just let you move a sample to any value you wish. In this case the tool is bending to its use as an audio editor and not defaulting to behavior that would otherwise just introduce clicks and pops every time it was used.
I stand by my argument that the author's terminology appears ignorant in an area where it ought to be very deliberately specific. I question the applicability and relevance of the work beginning at that point, even though the approach may have yielded a useful result.
> It's pay to play internet, and yeah, it's a problem.
1. How much do they charge?
I'm genuinely curious. I don't self host, but use a 3rd party (fastmail). I send very few emails to people I don't know, so personally, I don't run into issues with having my email sent to spam.
2. I don't think paying in itself is the real problem. I think it's more a matter of who you pay and why you pay.
- You have to pay to register a domain name.
- You have to pay to host your own server (whether your using a hosting service or hosting from your basement)
- You have to pay to have gmail not mark your email as spam - ok, I'll admit, this is a little silly, but you also have to pay (via a stamp) to have USPS send letters to their recipient
3. Perhaps because so many people use and trust (whether they should or not is another question) gmail, it makes sense to pay in some scenarios? But obviously, for personal mail servers, I agree, asking to pay to play is a bit of a stretch.
Could you provide a source? I live in a suburban neighborhood built in the 1950s (> 60 yrs ago) bordering a major US city. The neighborhood is thriving (by most metrics) and still relies on a mix of original and upgraded infrastructure.
As a human being and motor vehicle operator of many decades I have done all of the above, multiple times (very infrequently), both on purpose and on accident. I’m looking forward to the days when self-driving vehicles are normal, and human drivers are the exception. Until then, I’m glad companies and regulators are holding the robots to a higher standard than the meat computers.
> The service will be included for free for two years starting at the time of activation of a new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max. ^4

1. Start with a simple tech stack you’re already familiar with though this will likely change over time
2. Build a few of your favorite features, either because you want to use them yourself or because you like building that kind of feature
3. Get your friends and family to use it with you
4. Listen to their feedback, or ignore it, and build the next few interesting features
5. Get your friends’ friends and family to try it out and give you feedback
6. Keep going as long as you enjoy the process
You may not end up where you set out to go, but at least you enjoyed the ride and learned something new!
Having not seen the actual law or executive order or whatever legal reference document, one thing that has not been clearly covered by the media or in debates or even the studentaid.gov website is whether or not this law applies only to current federal loan borrowers, or also extends to those under the prescribed income limits who paid off their federal loans years, or even decades ago.
It is definitely not the latter and that’s what makes it unfair. If it was fair, they would cut the same $10K check to everyone that had paid for higher education in the last X years and meets the income criteria.
Are you sure? What’s your source? Even the Biden administration is cryptic on this point. After posting my original comment, I’ve been doing additional research.
Thanks for the link. I don’t read the news so it’s the first time I’m seeing it. I didn’t see anything in there that alluded to people not currently in debt getting anything which matches what I had read in the past when this policy first surfaced.
Congress holds the powers of the purse and this is an executive order by a president a few weeks away from midterm elections. This is going to be litigated.
My comment is not concerned with legality - I’ll leave that to congress and the courts. I’m merely pointing out the obfuscation of eligibility requirements.
As a software engineer new to the data space, I am baffled by why people recommended great_expectations. It has a lot of questionable dependencies that inflate image sizes and lead to conflicts at scale. It is also a very ambitious project that fails to deliver on many fronts, including documentation and basic data quality checks. The complexity in writing your own checks is way too high. There’s a lot of very abstract concepts you have to understand before you can write a single line of code. If you think I’m wrong, stop now and go look at some of their code examples. You’re better of using python’s built-in unittest to run a query and then make assertions on the result as a task in your DAG
