I have a Pi-Hole + PiVPN (WireGuard) + CloudFlare DoH setup and it was pretty easy to do. Most of this stuff installs itself! To be honest, the real challenge was to figure out the additional measures to ensure my home devices could only use my Pi-Hole DNS. A couple of firewall rules did it in the end.

The one thing I need to find a solution for, however... a Raspberry Pi is not quite powerful enough to handle a gigabit connection. I need to look into a more powerful device to replace it with. That would also mean I can add that RPi to my miniature cluster.
There is a gaping hole in the middle of this whole setup and it's that most actors are good actors and you're now demanding them to pay money. Furthermore, you're asking them to pay money while it gives them no benefit, it benefits third parties. As a publisher, I do not care if people who use my code trust me — if they don't, they don't have to use the code, I have lost nothing. There is no incentive for any package maintainers to join this endeavour. Asking me to provide real-world ID to pay the registrar money? Never going to happen as long as there's a free alternative without the additional constraints.
Quora back in 2011 was magical. I spent hours reading answers by some incredible people and it influenced a lot of my thinking back then. Unfortunately they kept raising money they didn't need and the VC treadmill turned the site into a wasteland.

There are still gems of knowledge but the experience is ruined. Overbearing content moderation won't let you edit your own question. Credits system was removed and instead Quora now pays people to post useless questions. They ignored every tool and feature that writers asked for. The mobile site won't let you read more than half an answer before forcing the app. Spammers are never stopped and voting rings have taken over most popular questions.

It's a sad case of a site that's successful despite the execution, not because of it.
Interesting link. As a Hungarian I can definitely confirm that foreign women's speech does seem overly high-pitched. Especially in English, but also in German to some degree. In a similar way as Americans in general come across as overly fakey-smiley positive, to me, subjectively, women's speech in English feels over-the-top. (Don't get offended, I'm just describing perceptions)

To be more concrete, here's a random example of what sounds natural in Hungarian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm0DWhDk06s

It always bugged me that Coca-Cola sells their "Zero" product. To me it always meant "zero benefit" (but not zero cost or danger).
> We just wanted to read a thought regarding the Simulation Argument that occurred to a fellow developer

Well, I didn't want that. And you apparently didn't want my thought regarding comments on the simulation hypothesis either.

My complaint is not that the article doesn't "revolutionize" the argument, but that it shows little to no engagement with the existing body of philosophy before, after, or even around it. Statements like:

> In the Western tradition, we have a deep assumption of the universality of mathematical truth.

reveals a view that seems disengaged from any developments philosophy after the early 20th century other than Bostrom's.

A stretched analogy: If someone posted an article about how no one's ever pointed out how bad it is that PHP variable names start with $ and this is difficult to type on many keyboards, and this is a key reason to avoid PHP, they would not be taken seriously - even though their conclusion, that other languages should generally be preferred to PHP, is probably valid.
I think some kind of regional functionality is important - whether that takes place within on external to hacker news.

We need some means of generating stronger local communities.
OpenId does have this in the form of a URL as your identifier. If you had a myopenid.com account, for example, you can login to your site using 'michaelchisari.myopenid.com'. That page will contain a metadata tag specifying who your provider is (You could use any domain/page you control as long as you add a metadata tag to it).

This is the default way that OpenID works -- The selection of providers is purely a UI choice that has become popular by sites to hide users from URLs.

There's always still a box near the bottom that allows you to type in your URL without picking a provider.
What's wrong with feeling good? I, for one, like feeling good.

And the reason previous generations didn't need the word "hacker" is simply because computers hadn't been invented yet. But computing is hardly the first field with this kind of verbal distinction. What's the difference between a reporter and a journalist? Or a painter and an artist? Or an actor and a star?

I thought Problems->More->Random just shows you puzzles people have "built" in a random order.
I'm not saying that it was done the right way (personally, I would have preferred to avoid the whole problem in the first place with better oversight, and if that wasn't possible, at least give out very high interest loans that will make a profit for the taxpayers when they are repaid), I'm saying that there are thousands and thousands of companies and individuals that depend directly and indirectly on the big banks and on having functioning capital markets, and that if some of the big ones start to fail, most of them will follow suit (big and small) and they'll take down most of the rest of the economy with them.

If you disagree with that, please explain what you think would have happened if lots of big banks and insurance companies had failed.
You know...

Can you cite have any example of someone even vaguely within the design world who would say "abstract paintings can mean anything"?

Overall, I don't think there are many working professionals in any field who don't believe there is any structure to their work.

I would strongly suspect that designers who lean on intuitive processes will still tell you there's a structure to effective expression but that they use their intuition to gain access to it. They may be wrong to rely on their intuition gain access to this structure but you're misrepresenting them if you claim they simply believe there are no rules.

People who want to police straw usage are not at fault for making life difficult for the 1% who really need straws...because?

Who decides that they are less important than stopping the 99% from using straws?

In the 2000's I did contractor work by myself (and occasionally hired a friend or two to get a project done). It was a disaster. I spent >50% of my time on client, non-technical work. I then joined a ~20 person firm in San Francisco and worked there for a few years purely coding. It was a joy. They had great business people, designers, copy writers, and then about a dozen great engineers, and I could just focus on the code and get paid for that. My hours went down, pay went up, and got to do what I love.

If you are thinking of contracting/consulting, I'd highly recommend joining a diversified team in the 10-100 range so you can do the parts of the work you love and rely on your team for the rest.

> Our only answer seems to be even more automated updates

No, exactly the opposite.

Automatic updates are insane. If software updates itself automatically, you need to assume it is compromised. If software requires manual updates, you need to assume that the more frequent the updates, the less secure it is.
The vast majority of even the developed world is nothing like SF. In particular, for most people outside major capitals buying a house and raising a family is very doable.

Some American factories are export restricted, Pfizer has set up production in the US which is cleared for export as they didn’t took any government funding for those production lines.

For the crowd simply hoping for some variation of On the Beach, you should be aware that a nuclear war in the 2020s would almost certainly see Australia targeted by Chinese nukes.
In this context, "No, actually, it's not" is not a particularly civil way to make this point. The valid countervailing concern you're raising would not be hard to express in a good-faith way. I think we can all agree that there are multiple concerns and it's not obvious how to balance them.

The fact that you led with "No actually" instead, and ended by imputing a strawman ("everyone needs to automatically assume") gives your comment an absence-of-good-faith quality that we should all be striving to avoid on HN—particularly when the topic is divisive.
oh jeez I totally missed that. Thanks!
> One thing that stuck with me was the non-negligible start-up speed.

Yes! this is the biggest roadblock for me. I find python startup time unbearably long. I do not want to imagine even using julia. And this is sad because the language is orders of magnitude better (for math, at least).

Hi h4ckerz,

This is a clumsy code I've written tonight while thinking on that dilemma, checking if an artist/band is alive/active or not. So that they are not excluded, and their memory will be there, via demandable tributes.

https://github.com/Future-Made/wiki_artist_crawler

Hope that's a good thing. On the other hand, it should not really go and crawl those, as a personal ethical point of view. It's just weird. Maybe would run 1-2 times a year and that's all.

Since before the new year, working on a project with Future, Made collective (link below).

For an initial set of apps we are designing and trying to build in open participation; we need to know if an artist or band is still alive or active in their careers for future events that are demandable and collectively observable by the audiences.

It is about the tribute-ability of artists/bands in the scope of co-imagining and planning future art events with demand-sides' augmentation.

So, projects are not creating yet another conventional search, or announcement platforms/bases that are almost in the form of "market-places". The platform we imagine, but somewhere that audiences do not wait for an art event to be announced. They can demand it with their preferences.

https://imgur.com/a/BLtJ9U2

Especially this existing time ahead (pandemic, events on hold etc) it is a good idea for artists to "collect" demands for their future, on-site events.

There is just this thing. No one really knows what anyone would afford or willing to pay for the online experiences.

Wow. Very cool. Is there anyway I can add myself to your SMS list? Always wanted to build something like this.

Have you run this on historic data and noticed any trends? Does it perform above S&P500 performance, and by how much?

Not that, history is any indication of future but it’s an interesting measure none the less.

It may be helpful to look at HN comments more as a discussion forum than a peer reviewed journal with documented justification for claims and so on.

Were any in use at all? No

So, nothing really sophisticated... just exploiting the bad design of existing operating systems.

crab bucket mentality

It wouldn't be the end of the world for the VW group, but for the brand itself and the group's strategy of having one brand be the more premium one - it would be a weird setback. And an embarrassing one for VW.
Elections are less about finding the optimal will of the people and more about creating an adversarial environment for politicians in order to prevent capture by a single party.
Right, I didn't mean to imply that everyone was lying, I just think that wanting to fit in with a group is a strong subconscious drive in such situations.

Edit: I was curious and did a quick search what the scientific literature says about this, and it seems like it is an accepted problem, though there are techniques used to reduce the effects. To quote one study:

"Regarding the use of self-report personality inventories, meta-analytic results have indicated that applicants are able to, and actually do, deviate from honest responses in order to make a good impression (Alliger & Dwight, 2000; Viswesvaran & Ones, 1999). "
> we're not much different from a 3rd world failed state like Venezuela

In 2016, Venezuela's murder rate was well over 50 per 100,000, and the USA's murder rate was slightly over 5 per 100,000 [1]. This gap is pretty consistent.

I tried, but I'm not sure Lenovo ever actually offered the X140e with Ubuntu preinstalled. The option isn't available on Lenovo's website. When customizing the order, OS choices are all Windows. I ended up buying over the phone, but couldn't get a Linux preinstall that way either. The person on the other end was just filling out a form similar to the one on the website.

Since I couldn't get Ubuntu preinstalled, I made sure to order the exact hardware specified on Ubuntu's certification page: A4-5000 APU, BCM43142 Wifi/Bluetooth, etc. I also updated the BIOS to the latest version, which had fixes for Linux.

I realize I was rather unlucky. The X140e is not a popular piece of hardware. Next time, I'll be sure to pick something widely used.

And this is mild versions of their brigading and tea bagging. What, you think this is ok?
Yes, I argue even when accounting for grid integration. It's a slam dunk anywhere where it's paired with natural gas due to fast throttling on open cycle and combined cycle turbines, and a little less so where coal is used. Nigeria, for example, is primarily natural gas for fossil electrical generation (~16% of their electrical generation capacity), so any kwh's you're generating with renewables is natural gas burned only when renewables can't meet load demand.

Check out South Australia on OpenNEM [1]. Paired with natural gas and transmission, they're at an exceptionally high amount of renewables penetration [2] and have a very low cost of power in Australia [3]. They're also using a large, recently expanded, Tesla utility scale battery for ancillary/frequency response services [4] (previously profitably performed by natural gas generators), which is causing financial pain for those mentioned gas operators (who are having trouble profiting now on either the power provided or frequency response services).

Why is outsourcing unethical?
The supposed goal of a malicious government is to make everyone entirely dependent on it, for everything, even the basics. Small business represents independence to a large degree. Destroying small business means everyone turns to the government to survive. Having everyone dependent on you means you can enact any law with little resistence.
There is a sea of difference between the Chinese paper and the other two you mentioned. The Chinese were very straightforward: can we identify facial traits that are more present in criminals? To a certain degree, they answer positively by saying there is a greater variation in facial traits in criminals than in the rest of the population. Of course there was a lot of criticism of their methodology (to which they answered [0]).

The first article you mentioned describes the bias of eyewitnesses related to stereotyped "criminal look". But the researchers are very clear: "Further research is needed to identify the features that are associated with the criminal stereotype and how they affect lineup decision processes. The specific elements associated with criminal face stereotypes have not yet been identified."

The second article deals with our interpretation of certain traits (which, in this case, are listed) and it's careful not to imply these traits are actually related to criminality. On the contrary: "such evaluations could inappropriately influence decision making in criminal identification lineups. Hence, additional research is needed to discover whether and how people can avoid making evaluations regarding criminality from a person’s facial appearance".

You're still misstating the issue; the "justice" in question isn't being executed by "vigilantes". It's a reaction of large institutions to someone's conduct.
Well, ok, maybe, maybe not - but why NOT make everything as efficient as you can? He's gone to all the trouble to show you what to do, it's no additional effort on your part to apply it.
> Why Lua 5.1 and not 5.2 or 5.3?

Each version of Lua since 5.1 is basically equivalent to Python 2 and 3, subtly different enough that you have no clear migration path. (And worse, Lua didn't even have an equivalent to 2to3.) So many applications are stuck at 5.1.

I think that there is a decent chance for other implementations to overtake PUC-Rio Lua if this missing migration path is clearly laid. The starter would be implementing all versions at once and allowing the mix of codes written for different versions.
I hope to get there some day. I'm learning to code currently (until now, I was only capable of scripting, which is code, but you know what I mean) and I feel like there's just massive knowledge out there just to make simple things.

Managing systems and environments make my head spin very fast. I try to keep it simple but now im peaking into the node/react ecosystem and I feel all over the place.
> The Anarchist's Cookbook is just for teenagers to download and feel like they are sticking it to the man

It does contain instructions on how to manufacture some smaller types of explosives and other goodies, so it's not completely useless. It was also initially released before the internet, and since the creation of the internet, lost a bit of it's usefulness of course.

> There are not, to my knowledge, a whole lot of practicing anarchists.

Maybe not where you live, but anarchism lives on across the world and you can find practicing anarchists inside most states around the world today, some groups bigger than others, CNT and FIJL being probably some of the bigger ones today.
