Read Better Quote: November 2021

There is a puff of smoke and a genie pops out. “You have three wishes. I can give you anything in the world. If I fail, I must become your personal genie for eternity.”

The teacher thinks for a moment and says, “For my first wish, I want jewels. Silver, gold, platinum, whatever you have.” Poof! The jewels appear.

“For my second wish, I want karma. Lots of karma.” Poof! The karma appears.

The genie stares at the teacher, waiting for the third wish. “I can give you anything in the world,” he says again.

The teacher thinks for a long time. “As a teacher, I always hated careless mistakes from my students. I noticed that I accidentally wrote ‘lamb’ instead of ‘lamp.’ Please correct my mistake.”

The genie moaned in anguish. “This is Reddit,” he shouted. Once you post it, you can’t edit the title.

“In that case,” the teacher smiled, “It looks like I’ve got myself a genie for eternity.”

Ask HN: How to file a bug for Facebook web UI?

Seems like Someone forgot to check the mobile web for the Meta rebranding...

See a screen shot - https://ift.tt/3dcRQR7

or simply go (incognito or logout first) to https://m.facebook.com/

I could not find a way to report it, and given the millions they have invested in the rebranding, I am assuming they will consider it as one with high priority.

Why is it a problem in America that you have to show your ID to vote?

I was just listening to a podcast from like a year ago, and someone mentioned Georgia wanting to pass a law that would make it mandatory for people to show their ID when voting, and everyone was appalled.

I know the voting process is kinda stupid over there and you have to register for some reason and whatnot, but in Europe, it is absolutely normal to go to your local voting place where you are automatically registered, and you come there and show your ID that proves that you are the person with the right to vote, and you get a paper and you go into a booth and fill it out and then you drop it into a box.

I don't even understand the issue.

A blind and elderly German man is on a train.

When the train approaches the station of his destination, he gets up from his seat, tries to make for the door, but almost walks into a pole.

Another passenger yells," Careful, there's a pole in front of you!"

The old man breathes in, stands tall with all the vitality of his youth, and swings with all his might at the pole.

"Untermensch!" He yells. "When did those twats become so hard?"

Cloudflare “Flexible” SSL Misleading

Cloudflare Flexible SSL mode encrypts traffic between the client and Cloudflare but it forwards that data to the origin server unencrypted over the public internet.

Isn't this misleading? The client thinks their traffic is safe, but it ends up being exposed? Doesn't this defeat the purpose of SSL and browser certificate validation?

Ask HN: Tools and techniques to quickly validate startup ideas

Do any of you have any recommendations for tools and techniques to quickly validate startup ideas? Especially the ones that you don't have connections for. I am interested in AI ideas that could potentially help other industries but I have no means to validate how painful the problem is. Some of the approaches that I am considering:

- Post a job posting to recruit some employees and gather information from them (and pay them for their time) - Create a landing page and advertise it to the right target audience - Reach out to people through LinkedIn

Any other tools, techniques, recommendations, etc., or even suggestions on how to make effective use of these strategies?

The Caller

"Hello?" the child says on the phone. "Hi, honey, this is Daddy. Is Mommy near the phone?" "No, Daddy," says the litter girl. "She's upstairs in the bedroom with Uncle Paul."

After a brief pause, Daddy says, "But honey, you haven't got an Uncle Paul." "Oh, yes I do, and he's upstairs in the room with Mommy, right now." Dad takes a deep breath. "Okay then, this is what I want you to do. Put the phone down, run upstairs, knock on the bedroom door and shout to Mommy that Daddy's car just pulled into the driveway."

"Okay, Daddy, just a minute," says the little girl. A few minutes later, the little girl comes back to the phone. "I did it, Daddy." "What happened, honey?" he asks. "Well, Mommy got all scared, jumped out of bed with no clothes on and ran around screaming. Then she tripped over the rug, hit her head on the dresser and now she isn't moving at all." "Oh, my God! What about your Uncle Paul?" asks Dad in a panic. "He jumped out of the bed with no clothes on, too. He was all scared and he jumped out of the back window and into the swimming pool. But I guess he didn't know that you took out all the water last week to clean the pool. He hit the bottom of the pool and I think he's dead."

There's a long pause on the phone. Then Daddy says, "Swimming pool? Is this 486-5731?"
