I own Samsung kitchen appliances. I will never make that mistake again.

Fridge: the coils in the fridge compartment freeze up, which is expected because, hey, thermodynamic laws. Hence the heater coil to melt the ice. Which would be fine, except that the little metal tab that is supposed to conduct heat into the drainpipe is too short, so the ice doesn’t melt, thus leaving the drain all plugged up, causing the ice water to overflow, eventually spilling out the fridge door and destroying your cork floor.

Dishwasher: fffuuuuuu… P.o.S. Piss-poor job of cleaning. Does a shit job of filtering food particles out, so they end up in the rinse water, and so end up crudding-up any contact points between dishes. I end up washing “clean” dishes by hand Every. GD. Time.

Oven: self-clean feature cooks the convection fan to death. Should be called self-destructive, not self-cleaning. Thankfully, the induction stovetop continues to work… for the time being.

I will never, ever purchase a Samsung product again.
Can one really say that it's "mostly" its "relation with embalming fluid" that makes it scary... in a comment containing the line "at least 30 children had died two years prior due to use of the preservative"?

Also I want to be careful not to allow lethality to be seen as coextensive with poisonousness. Non-acute effect is kind of the name of the game with additive-type doses. The bulk of the misery caused by "lead poisoning" has nothing to do with people who hit an LD50-type threshold.
Going to mootsico, I imagine.
Yes, but a bit more in depth like the tutorial on Truffle.
Seems to be a comprehensible list.

Take a look at the sprawling REST articles and postings on the internet. How many of them even address authorization and authentication?
Joel Spolsky had a really interesting insight [+] once about hiring pools: they're disproportionately filled with people who you don't want working for you, because if you're hireable, you exit the hiring pool fairly quickly, and the dynamics of this system quickly mean that the pool is filled full of people who aren't even FizzBuzz qualified.

I think the other side of the market is isomorphic to this: any publicly available list of jobs is disproportionately filled with positions which qualified talent has seen, evaluated, and rejected as unsuitable.

What debate? Seriously: you want a debate about something that virtually everyone on HN agrees about. There are right-leaning and left-leaning people alike on HN, but even Daniel Markham opposes the police state. Are we debating just to hear ourselves talk?

The question of whether stories like this belong on HN or not is more interesting than the other questions being discussed here, because at least this question has opposing interests and can lead to a conclusion of some sort.

Does anybody know if these supernodes are paid for by Skype or they're simply users' computers being commandeered by Skype (after getting click-through permission).

The explanation doesn't ring true to me because AFAIK supernodes are used only if a direct P2P path cannot be established between caller and callee.

What we're observing is the inability to sign in and see contacts' status. I always thought that was centralized. Are supernodes involved in signin?
Since it seems a good chunk of the super nodes went down, I imagine every running unconnected Skype instance is checking all of the super nodes it can find (or actively searching for them). Changing the logic at this point isn't really an option for them.
Of course R&D may not pay off, however, in the long run, if your real estate is worth more than your business, then it probably means you are better at managing real estate than running that business. Perhaps it would have been better to have just done real estate in the first place.
Yea, see the above comments. Bringing up individual nodes isn't an option as they would likely be overwhelmed and rate limiting traffic from all of the running instances in a P2P network would be near impossible. Bringing up an entirely new super node network, while insane, is probably their best option right now.

Edit: I initially read your post as sarcastic, but I realize now it may not have been. It's definitely outside-the-box thinking and after considering their options, this certainly seems the most viable.
It's not a solution, it's a hot-fix.
Isn't a DVD no longer meeting the standards of being a DVD if it doesn't play on DVD players? I remember with CD's there was the Redbook standard which was pretty exacting about how the CD was pressed. Is there no such thing for DVDs?
It's apples and oranges. Comparing the carbon emissions of a truck, as well as the significant airborne particles from the road being torn up by said truck[1] to a biological entity, probably producing more methane than CO or CO2. I recall hearing that weight's effect on a road's wear and tear is polynomial rather than linear, so trucks almost certainly lead to more air pollution than horses ever did. There are also a multitude of incredibly hazardous ingredients in tires, something that horses never had. [2]

I respect & appreciate talent of Pakistanis in art & music. They have some legendary singers. Not sure it is the language (Urdu) giving them that skill or they are natively talented.
In communism anyone who opposes the state is disappeared.

In capitalism anyone who opposes the corporation is disappeared.

You end up needing a mix of both. An independent news media with an explicit obligation to the truth, one that they can get in trouble for violating. We had that obligation for a long time through the middle of the 20th century. News organizations were well regarded even if they didn't always make the right calls they tried their best.

But then Rhupert Murdock realized that you could simply pretend to be one of those respected parties and lie to the viewers constantly and there would be no consequences. The obligation to the truth turned out to be a gentleman's agreement and there were no truth police breaking down your door when you told lies. That's when we discovered that the media is like the Prisoner's Dilemma. Fox news discovered that as long as everybody else was beholden to the facts they could lie repeatedly and constantly win the game. They've only fallen from the very tippy top of the ratings in recent years as other news organizations like OAN have discovered that the bigger the lie the bigger the ratings.

Fast forward to today and respect for the independent media (the all important 4th branch of government) is at an all time low and we have completely indoctrinated delusional people storming the Capitol building.
Compelled speech is not free speech.
The evidence is just laughably bad. But there is a lot of it and if you wanted to explain why each claim is either meaningless or outright false would take a lot of time. I guess that's the point.

It was peaceful. Very few people got murdered.
In that case, Flipkart should also be there.
The gold standard wasn't as "stable" as you think. There were severe inflation crises during the California and Alaska gold rushes, while the Nevada silver rush made bimetallism untenable.

Your other argument is incoherent--there's no fundamental reason to build monetary policy such that it favors individual investors over the health of the economy as a whole. In fact, if people simply hoard money rather than spending and investing it, that's generally an indicator of a poor economic system that can cause the type of deflationary spirals that caused the Great Depression in the first place.
I don't believe there's a mass consensus that it's an authoritarian regime. I'm not even sure there's a mass consensus that it's heading in that direction, regardless of what I personally believe.

that's literally illegal in Romania, where you are based, according to your posts. not sure if you thought you're being anonymous or just don't care that you advertise that your startup (which can also be found in your posts) is illegally discriminating women for hiring and you're proud of it.

I don't want to get into a long debate, but even backyard chickens often have problems.

For one, while the chickens aren't abused while they lay eggs, are they killed when they stop laying eggs regularly, after about 2 years? Chickens live for up to 12 years, but only lay eggs regularly for around 2 to 4. It's possible they are raised for their full lifespan, but it's something to ask about, nonetheless.

Second, roughly for every laying hen purchased, there was a male chick that had no economic value, so it was killed shortly after it was sexed. This is done by hen breeders and is outside the control of those who actually keep the hens, short of not buying the hens in the first place.

Also, Telegram is not federated. It is just another vendor lock-in.

Contrast that to email. Even if gmail.com bans you or shuts down, you can still use a different email vendor or self-host. (You lose your old email address if you don't own a domain, but you can still communicate with others.) The only good IM that has this characteristic seems Matrix.

All the dumping on signal is sad.

Here we have an nonprofit app that has succesfully broken into a major consumer market, and because of their ambitions to break up another cartel, and this is bad ?

Lets take a stab at understanding the authors complaints.

Author states users are smart and "we make the majority of users". Going beyond the entitlement of that statement, author can feel betrayed, but for signal to succeed it needs to keep iterating and address the consumer market.

Author may not need fast/cheap payments. But what about the rest of the world including the underbanked?

Author may fret about asymetry of info around transactions. However, will author think about the users of cash app and the million others that democratized stock trading ? Users have spoken and they prefer something, over nothing.

The article is unfortunately reeking of elitism. Sour grapes because a 3rd party will make money off an excellent application. I say keep an open mind.

This is the best thing that could happen to the world. Someone has the guts to finally take on currency, and has the potential to succeed. Yes it not perfect. Yes some will make money and signal may be able cover for their forever loan. Thats good.

The project has been a great endeavor since the days of redphone / textsecure. Project is still open sourced and nonprofit.

Signal is the future of privacy and security of the masses. As recently as 2019 that was still not clear.

Its time to cheer, not to dump.
It's still completely reasonable to ban automating it. The impact of having it done in an automated way is completely different from the impact of having it done on a person-to-person basis, for a lot of reasons, starting with scale.

It's also reasonable to ban anything that claims to be better at it than a human.
NAT is a poor person's firewall, and even if everybody were to switch to IPV6 I believe that NAT'ing would be here to stay. There are lots of disadvantages to sitting behind a NAT but the positive part of it is that it actually does have some security benefits. I used to absolutely hate NAT but over the years I've come around a bit, and UPnP made it bearable from a tech point of view.
Why "be free"? Why not "pay you"? I mean, where do you draw the line?

I certainly hope you didn't invest much into that strawberry shortcake page. It just tells you to pile some sliced strawberries onto a premade cake. The first two paragraphs say the same thing, probably one is a rewrite of the other. Top quality stuff. Then it's scattered with links to pages with no content and lots of ads.
The author works on that :)
Totally agree. A surprising number of today's most popular sites were in fact not first to market. Just off the top of my head:

One of the things that always bothers me about the "How to build and launch a product with <$X" articles is the fact that they almost always talk about the costs of outsourcing design/development but almost never talk about the actual costs of living for founders. You know what I'd love to see? Articles about how a couple of scrappy founders cut their living costs to the bone, keep the majority of development in-house (assuming there's a tech founder), and outsource when needed. All of this while trying to get to launch/MVP before the founders' savings run out or need to concentrate on consulting for a while to pay the bills.
> I wouldn't say I love PHP, sure it is not the best language out there, but it is not that bad. Unless you never bothered to check out what's in PHP 5 (or 5.3) and keep going with PHP 4 code.

The issue is you rarely just get to work with your own code. There's lots of crappy crappy php out there, and while php5 is better, it's still not going to exile all that bad code away.
I recently recovered a laptop because I had installed Prey on it (http://preyproject.com/). It's free, sends you the IP, a webcam snap, desktop grab and attempts a geo-location.

I remember using Delphi 1 on a 386 under Windows 3.1 and watching and even listening to the GUI reloading from the swap file component by component. I had enough RAM but I think the Windows memory manager was not great. Today, I'd throw the PC out the window, but at the time, there was something reassuring about it. But maybe I'm embellishing my memories.
We've just started designing a new api and gone done the json-schema path which is particularly suitable since we're using json-rpc over websocket / http post.

Aside from that whatever tool you use, having markdown as the base source is really useful as you can then display it however you want while still quickly read it in a terminal.
Indeed. But that's his problem. He's been in a hole for 30 years while the gaming industry grew and evolved exponentially through the actions and competition of thousands of individuals and companies. His vision of simulating complex systems with simple approximations from mathematical formulae and algorithms has been realized countless times. You mentioned some great (and sophisticated) examples but honestly, almost every single game has some elements of these these design ideas. It's nothing new ... and honestly kind of obvious. Anyone who wants to make a strategy game has to figure out how to believably simulate behaviour on computing devices of the time. If you're talking about computers in the 80s, you are forced to find simple mathematical expressions because a more complex simulation will bog your game down. So I'm not even sure how novel his ideas were, even in the early 80s.

This is also why it's so hard to meaningfully come up with something novel by thinking really really hard about it in a secluded cave. You need to refine your ideas by constantly testing them in the market of ideas either through collaboration or concrete implementation.

Go nuts.
That depends. When you're doing simple translations the list way is much cleaner.

ids = [item.id for item in all_items]

Seems much cleaner than

ids = map(lambda item: item.id, all_items)

But yes, I agree, when you have to actually perform some less-than-trivial computation on every item of a list, map is much cleaner.

My wife learned Cantonese as her first launguage and English as her second. I learned Cantonese in college. It’s way easier to count in Cantonese because it is so regular.

As a bonus, a native asian language speaker effectively has to learn place value at a very young age to learn how to count.

My wife learned all of her math skills in English, but she still sometimes counts in Cantonese. When we play blackjack, if I’m taking too long she’ll tell me the value of my cards in Cantonese, because she’s adding them in her head in Cantonese.

It’s just quicker.

I've been using Edison on Android for a while now. It is pretty clean and basic. I had been using BlueMail before and agree with your complaints. Edison seems to have solved most of my problems, it's a good basic client without much nonsense.
Yeah, with this definition, complexity is something you notice as a working team, not something you can directly measure with syntactic criteria (of course syntactic criteria may correlate with the complexity).
A quick note about protobuf. It's just way too complicated in my opinion. If you need a binary protocol just use TLVs (Tag-Length-Value) - so much less cognitive load and the parsing is easy to implement and read compared to the complicated autogenerated mess that is protobuf.
>To be clear, I don't agree with everything he said but he is absolutely right that there are some facts that are objectively true

This is blatantly untrue. I'm admittedly too interested in video games for my own good. I used to play competitively in my teens and spend too much time playing now in my 30s.
I find this incredibly humbling and inspiring. 18 month is not much to lay down fondations of quite a lot of today’s work, 20 years later.

Especially the really simple relational database presented at the end : simple yet super powerful.

> Sql function:sorry but they are most often crap and useless, better to in-line or use TVF, and no its not code logic duplication.

Functions have helped me tremendously in SQL server, but you do have to know the issues, which can be taken advantage of to some degree.

Code reuse is the obvious use case, but due to lack of inlining up to SQL Server 2019 meant you could reduce performance compared to hand inlined case statement or whatever. Hopefully now that functions can be inlined in 2019 this will be a non issue going forward

They are an optimization barrier which can be a good thing. I have used to this my advantage to stabilize tricky queries that where using views for code reuse. The performance becomes consistent and predictable rather than going pathological on some databases even though it may be slightly slower on others.
