Yes, it's possible to see all of this in the "Account History"
And yes, the same things -- failed password attempts (i.e. someone trying the wrong passwords) and "Login Verification Email" (sent when the correct password is used from a new IP) -- all appear in the Account History.
Unfortunately, the phishing scenario is improbable at this point, and there have also been multiple corroborating reports in this thread.
I don't really care about the topic or person, but I dislike it when people claim that somebody else said X and Y and Z, without then linking to the posts or pages. Bad style and easily abused.
They said it. From the BattlePenguin site (I’m not going to link as it may get shadowbanned):
“In the United States, health privacy is one of the many things covered under legislation know as HIPPA. However, all the rules seem to have changed in the reaction to COVID-19. Now, people are not only proclaiming their medical information to everyone, but venues and employers are requiring disclosures of experimental medication in order to enter their premises. Whether you believe this is a justified request or not is irrelevant. It’s the end of medical privacy as we know it, and opens up an entirely new class of discrimination based on an individual’s choice to take a medication.”
Basically, this author is clueless. It's HIPAA not HIPPA, and it only applies to a very limited number of orgs, not a typical employer. HIPAA doesn't even really give you medical privacy- it's a law literally written to make it easier to move data around (the "portability" part) and hold covered entities (like health care orgs) liable if they disclose certain types of data, or business associates, if they signed a particular type of agreement.
That said, nearly everybody gets the law wrong, I've had to explain to lawyers why the law didn't apply to my startup (a biotech that was neither a covered entity, nor a business associate).
This attitude gives them cover. It takes them 5 seconds to toss an accusation but like Matt Taibbi they insist on perfect mirroring as you carefully take their argument apart and will fight if you skip one quarter of a step. It's how they wear you down and win simply by the emotional tone they broadcast.
But as a comment: I really don't like this kind of "all or nothing" projects. Its extremely risky and if it fails, 20 years would be lost and billions of dollars would be lost. I hope once Starship is ready, some billionaire buys a thousand telescopes, throws them into a Starship and flies them all over the solar system. Seriously, its almost 2022. Why do we still only have 1 telescope up there? Why aren't there 100 telescopes on the dark side of the moon? Why aren't there 1000 space probes on their way to leave the solar system?
> India is the one that has been attacking neighbouring borders, especially since the fascists came to power.
Even calling the current government 'fascicists' can be excused, but not 'attacking neighbouring borders'. Oh wait, I think you meant 'attacking neighbouring borders on provocation', yeah, that's right. China is still trying to claim (rightfully and legally) Indian and Bhutanese territories, among other regions.
Sorry for being late to this thread, but you can't break the site guidelines like this on HN, and I've banned the account. If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

It's particularly important for users here not to sling toxic, sinister accusations at each other without evidence. Someone having a different view from you does not count as evidence. This sort of aggression is extremely common on the internet and is one of the things that accounts here most need to avoid. If you read the HN guidelines, you shouldn't have any trouble seeing which one I'm referring to.
Sort of. The UN Security Council refers cases to the International Criminal Court for prosecution [1], and the ICC, both present and historical ad hocs, is a creature of it [2]. China isn’t a state party to the ICC, which limits its jurisdiction, and vetoes UN criticism of it, so pointing to either of these bodies as exonerations is tantamount to asking Beijing is the CCP is committing genocide.
> Why should I trust what they have to say as opposed to, say, China’s government? Or any government at all that I did not vote for?
Yeah, the CCP has a great track record admitting their atrocities. Let’s totally trust them instead of the Uyghurs who are all collectively making this up out of spite.
Is this part of the playbook when training people on how best to deflect blame from China's sins? Seriously, I see it all the time.
Someone will share a well agreed upon anecdote of the horrors being committed by the Chinese, and without fail, one of the first responses will be whataboutism regarding the US government, as if that has any bearing whatsoever.
Nearly any civilized country around the world is in full agreement that there are horrific atrocities being committed by the Chinese, and it's largely due to economic bullying that we're forced to turn a blind eye.
If you resurrected Lenin, took him for a walk around Shanghai or Beijing and explained the deal to him he would be proud since so much of their political system is derived from Leninism, ergo communism. Even their market economy seems like a redux of Lenin’s NEP.
Don’t try pulling that tired old “not real communism” schtick, we all see through it. Another thing, if they weren’t communists, where is the incentive to keep up the charade with all the symbolism? Surely a rational non-communist polity would realize there is a lot to gain from dropping the whole red, socialist realism and adopt a more (post-)modern aesthetic.

Much to the contrary. All governments strive for continuity to legitimise their regime. It's why for example even revolutions often co-opt the institutions they're trying to replace. In this case the communist "branding" is what gives them their legitimacy.
You can't do this on HN, as the site guidelines make extremely clear: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Moreover, you've been breaking the guidelines repeatedly and egregiously. I've therefore banned this account.

How did that happen? Iirc, according to Hurun Report 10 years ago, some 80% of the upper class Chinese had an escape plan ready. You'd think, as a billionaire they have a plane waiting for them 24/7 to get out of the country.
> You cannot travel abroad
In the border with Vietnam, at night you can cross the border for 5 yuan on one of the smuggler boats.
> You have little recourse as a woman who is abused by men in power
Only country in the world with more female suicides than male suicides.
Also, no recourse if CCP thugs steal your stuff. Guy I knew had his Ferrari stolen. Couldn't do anything because the thief was a local party functionary's son.
What's so sad is wind and solar being so concentrated in Germany. If it were more spread out over Europe, it would have lower correlation; and help with production peaks.
There's egotistic, and there's egotistic + harmful.
