Looks like the name is actually "Rei Labs" not "REI Labs". HN title needs to be fixed.

How does one vacate a sentence that was already served?

there's no time machine, but at least the charges are removed from the poor man's record.

he should probably try to seek damages from the state for his wrongful conviction (and get his lawyer disbarred for grossly incompetent counsel!)

from https://www.saltwire.com/nova-scotia/halifax/appeal-court-qu... :

  Klayme’s trial counsel was Peter Planetta, who no longer practises law. 

A quick search shows that his trial lawyer/counsel resigned from the bar several months after the defendant was sentenced in the first trial.

see https://nsbs.org/general-notices/council-approves-resignatio...

[edit] Since his old lawyer wasn't practicing anymore, Klayme got a new lawyer who discovered the missing underscore.

He's lucky. In the USA a lot of appellate options are not available if you are no longer incarcerated. You are basically out of luck, the conviction is a lock-in.

You would presumably be logged in to your favorite store site, and they would be using your identifying session to make recommendations, not anonymous tracking cookies.

Eh, maybe.

It's easier to click a single button than hunt for how to create/access an account for the brand.

It's splitting the digits into four-bits per decimal digit.

       2       3
    0010    0011

    23 -> 2 3 -> 0010 0011 -> 00100011

better known as BCD, binary-coded decimal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

I think this thread is a good indicator of llm bots vs human accounts on HN. The bots couldn't identify satire.

Most mobile keyboards will do autocorrect as you describe it, and show top-N alternatives when you go back and tap on the autocorrected word. I prefer this to it mocking my mistakes and making me pay penance by manually accepting the correction.

Yeah I'm thinking about my desktop computer. Also, I find that the autocorrect on my phone is not that good, especially when the first letter is incorrect.

macOS at least will autocorrect stuff by default... I typically turn it off within a few days of a fresh install after getting annoyed by some correction I didn't want.

Yeah that's what I do also. If it got smart enough I guess I'd leave it on, but I have not experienced anything remotely close enough to consider it. Also, it changes stuff without me realizing, and sometimes makes things worse.

I prefer the opposite since it absolutely trashes proper nouns and makes it extremely annoying to type bilingually.

The worst is when it automatically corrects, you delete the correction and type the exact same thing, then it automatically corrects to something else, repeat.

Are you _trying_ to get your entire Google account and all its linked accounts banned and nuked at Google's whims when they flag one of your mp3s as being pirated?

This was my first thought. Why would you use a cloud provider to store MP3s? There are plenty of cheap local options that don't paint a giant target on your back.

People in arts and engineering can easily fill terabytes upon terabytes. RAW photos, uncompressed audio, 3D laser scans etc consume gigabytes like they're nothing, especially if you store many intermediary files of the same thing.

When I modified your fiddle to use the Apple logo and colors, the first ring is eating part of the apple. The top of the apple is cut off. Any idea why that is?

Police departments have already moved on from traffic enforcement to civil forfeiture. Like, a decade ago.

The "why would you want to do that?" section ought to be the very first paragraph. I spent half the article thinking, who the hell is collapsing `http://` into `http:/` until I had to deduce from context what this article even was about. The article starts in media res.
