In US, deed is public (grantor name, grantee name, property id). That’s probably how the scammers knew that you are involved in a recently recorded deed, and offered to send you a copy if you pay them.

When my parents closed on a house, me, and all of my siblings, regularly and illegally got scam/spam calls for my parents' home. We are not on the deed. We are not involved in the transaction in any way.

Also, don't buy a car, either; that also generates a significant volume of incoming scams & fraud, although most of that is in the snail mail. (But "at least" there I am the person in the transaction … I guess?

But fraud is still fraud.

Does US law prevent (or frown upon) defendant from publicly publishing evidence, even when the plaintiff publicly published the accusation and their evidence first? If so, how is the defendant supposed to protect their public reputation when a lawsuit is ongoing for years? Or maybe I’m missing your point on what wouldn’t be looked upon kindly?

Two wrongs don't make a right, even if the plaintiff is playing dirty it doesn't give you the right to join in.

Assuming the exhibits aren't sealed they're publicly available as soon as they're entered by the court during trial.

If they're sealed there's probably a good reason they shouldn't be published until the trial is over (or ever in some cases)

In some places, I see people do that. It’s not stupidity. I learned the logical reason after observations. During busy hours in some busy buildings, there isn’t enough elevator capacity. Therefore, if you want to go down to the ground floor, taking a trip up and then down might be better (a less-bad worst case outcome, or even a better average outcome) than waiting for a non-full downward elevator. In such case, it’s logical to press both up and down.

Currently, git log -- a -- prints all commits that affects the files whose name is a or two dashes.

Yes, that would change behavior slightly. To restore behavior for pathspecs including a "--" file, you would need to add an additional -- to make the revspec explicitly blank:

    git log -- -- a --

Previously working command needs to continue behave the same way. Your original proposal was intended to provide backward compatibility (your third point in original comment), and that’s an important part of why it could work.

Modern day code agents would clone a repo and read the code when you ask it a question about an API that’s not clearly documented. This vulnerability is real.

Don't think that would trigger the bug, it needs to be at the repo root when the user opens the agent CLI, it's not like the agent is calling another agent CLI process with the new repo root as its project root.

This is exactly why every AI agent should run in a sandbox.

That’s just keychain. It’s not even fingerprinting.

In metropolitan areas, people want to be close but not too close to train/metro stations or railroad/tunnels. 5-10 minute walk is ideal. Anything closer, people have vibration/noise and crowd/security concerns.

In US suburbs, a lot of people are going to drive even if they live next to a train station. So there’s no convenience or property value benefits. To them, they only see downsides.

Living directly in view of a metro entrance within the inner city will be have noise from people using it, but one minute walk away is considered perfect in Europe.

Many people who visit me for the first time comment on this.

On the very quietest summer night, when there's no ventilation systems running etc, I can sometimes hear an occasional dum-dum, dum-dum when I lie in bed. The tunnel is directly under the building.

In suburbia closer is also better, but away from the track is better than along the track of it's above ground.

The idea of security concerns sounds ridiculous to me.

False. I live in Madrid and being near a metro station a. Has no issues (for almost all stations) and b. is considered highly desirable. 10 minute walk is considered a lot (mine is 5, to either of the two nearby stations - at 10-12 minutes I can walk to four stations). These are genuine underground metro. They're deep and vibrations are mostly not an issue.

The article paints a somewhat biased view of the construction process. It gives too much credit to Gallardo and the pp and conveniently ignored the serious issues in the sam Fernando de Henares área created by too rapid construction that ignored environmental and design issues in the Sandy soil near the Jarama river. Several hundred apartments have been condemned because of it and a whole neighborhood affected ...

But it is the best metro I've seen in Europe or north america. Most usable and cheapest to use.

> vibration/noise

That’s not true of most modern metro lines that are generally bored and not cut and covered.

Bored metro lines create no noise on the surface and are preferred nowadays because there is barely any constraint on the routes you can create.

Cut and covered are only used when creating whole new districts.

Surely you'd be _more_ secure near a station as there are more "eyes on the street" near an activity hub than tucked away in an isolated suburban node

Wow TIL. I have observed that my rental cars in Europe all have faulty speedometer. Multiple brands, multiple countries. So this is why.

If you need access to both apps from China and websites/apps from outside China, non-Apple devices have been difficult before this, primarily due to push notification infrastructure.

This makes it more difficult. But I don’t think it matters given how difficult it was prior to this.

Using apps based on Google Play Services may be impossible on those phones out of the box (not sure), but websites have no such dependency and most people don’t give a crap about push notifications from PWAs anyway so whether FCM works with the device matters little. Also doesn’t the web push API support different push services at registration time so those devices’ browsers can register their own vendor push server? (It’s been a while since I implemented web push myself, memory is fuzzy.)

This is blocking access to websites wholesale, so it’s on a whole different level.

What's wrong with Apple push notifications in China?

"non-Apple", i.e. Android

The problem is that most popular apps for Android outside Chinese app stores rely on Google services (specifically, Firebase) for push notifications.

They offer a lifetime price of $128.
