This year I purchased bulk latex foam noodles ("LaNoodles") from CozyPure, plus two high-quality cotton zippered pillowcases with wool batting from another store.

I was already a believer in Talalay latex as a mattress material, which is what my current bed is made of.

I stuffed two queen-sized pillows to almost bursting with the LaNoodles. One I place in between my thighs, and the other is my normal head pillow. They are ridiculously thick but I no longer have knee pain or neck pain and sleep much better.

I have used a variety of wipes to clean and/or dry my lenses over the years. This always left microscratches and damage to the AR coating over time.

Since I switched to the hand method, my lenses are in much better shape:

1) Clean hands with basic bar soap, leave soap suds on hands 2) Lightly rub lenses and frames with soapy fingers, taking care not to apply too much pressure and deposit skin oils 3) Rinse off with hot water 4) Shake glasses dry with both hands (carefully) 5) If tiny water spots bother you, or you can't wait for the remaining droplets to naturally dry, use a lint free glasses wipe to dab (not wipe) them dry

What store did you buy from?

An individual can buy up to $10,000 in Series I bonds from the U.S. Treasury a year. Their current ARR is 7.12%. That rate expires at the end of the month (April 2022).

Never send your private key to any third party.

Flagged.

I think NFT shilling should be prohibited on HN.

Don't bother, you're replying to a sock-puppet account owned by the scammer.

From the HTML source:

so, how did it feel?

did you believe it for a split second? did you actually expect something to happen? when the button lit up, did you..?

yeah, uhm... so, this was obviously a scam, like so many other crypto scams. did i say scam? i meant satire. this is satire. i'm making fun of crypto/web3 gold rush. i think it's extremely stupid. it's a pyramid, a scam, a Ponzi scheme.

wait, what? you paid your actual money for real? well, too bad. too bad crypto is decentralized, there's to authority to report me to, there's no one to get the money back from. yeah but it's cool. the future. web3. oh yeah. oh right. oh boi.

well i guess we can say you paid for the excitement? for those brief moments that you felt something? for the dopamine rush of OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS I'LL BE RICH? i hope it made you feel like you didn't in a long time. so, consider this an experience that you got, and a story that you can tell. it's a nice story to tell at a party. i'm sure it's worth it.

it was nice meeting you, even if briefly. good luck!

"Send me money to get a huge payout." Scam.

Thank you, that would work if we had more than one location, but our use-case is roadwarriors connecting from the road/home.

SMB filesharing over VPN has always been painfully slow at our organization. I'm assuming this would help, but transitioning our file servers to Datacenter Azure Edition is a no-go.

What other alternatives are there to speeding up SMB over WAN, besides investing in expensive proprietary WAN Acceleration devices from the likes of Exinda/Silverpeak/Riverbed/etc?

Good luck with your project, it sounds interesting.

FYI, your domain is blocked by Cisco Umbrella (OpenDNS) as "This site is blocked due to a security threat that was discovered by the Cisco Umbrella security researchers." Not sure why, you might want to contact them.

That's a good point. But this is not the actual court order, merely an explanatory letter from a police agency. The language is very "squishy". The preamble to the actual order, where the police explain the rationale, indeed uses the verb "retener" to mean "withhold/block". But the last sentence, if read alone, make more sense as "preserve." I believe this "squishiness" is no accident.

We really need to see the actual court order. Github has not included it in this repo.

Does anybody know how to access Spanish court orders online? Are they public?

It's also used to mean "withhold" or "block", which is why you have to look at the entire sentence to contextualize.

Native speaker of Castillian Spanish here. IMO the most critical sentence in this judicial order was mistranslated by GitHub, changing our understanding of the government's request and casting GitHub's response in a more negative light (if you believe information and communication tools should be free.)

The original language in the last paragraph is "...para solicitar la retención del contenido y los datos relacionados con la investigación antes mencionada."

The Github English translation of this is (caps are mine) "...in order to request both WITHHOLDING the content and data related to the aforementioned investigation."

However, I believe a more accurate translation is "...in order to request PRESERVATION of the content and data related to the aforementioned investigation."

If you look up the Spanish verb "retener", it can have, broadly, two applicable meanings in this case: "withhold" or "preserve".

I don't believe the language in the order should have been interpreted as "withhold", because they are ordering to perform an action on the content AND the "data related to the [...] investigation." This would be IP addresses, access timestamps, GitHub account information, etc., I would presume. It doesn't make much sense to "withhold" that sort of data. It makes more sense to "preserve" it.

To me, this appears to be a request to preserve data, not to remove data.

A case can therefore be made that the GitHub decision to remove content went above and beyond what was expressed in the received written order.
