Using businesses that support your preferences is the only real economic power that most people have.

Stick with Verizon and Verizon recognise that they can do/track anything without consequence.

On the other hand, leave Verizon for a competitor who is not currently doing/tracking anything and this becomes a selling point for the competition.
Dr. Valter Longo, who was an author of this study, was on the Diane Rehm Show in January of 2014 with others discussing the benefits of fasting. All the panelists endorse fasting to some extent but it was a lively discussion that summarizes some his research as well as related research that advocates for shorter fasting periods.

My main use-case is programmatically throttling the outbound concurrent connections to a VPN. Writing a small proxy server in Node.js seemed like a reasonable approach for this.
Most people on HN are level minded enough to realize that it is hypocritical to try to block people from immigration to protect their own jobs.

If you work in SV surrounded by top H1B talent, then you have a myopic view of how H1B is being used in bottom 80% of the IT talent pool.

The rest of us working in corporate IT know that vast majority of H1B is used as a vehicle for labor arbitrage.

They are paid prevailing wage? Please. I once had a guy who was getting paid $29/hour because two consulting companies were double dipping into $78/hour rate.
I think it's neat, which is probably what they were going for.
Disagree, the first driver might get in 1 accident every million miles and the other drivers one every 9 million, objectively 9 times better.
I’d recommend giving Docker Swarm + Traefik a shot. It’s dead simple to set up manually and has very little “magic” in how things work under the hood. Plus much of your existing Docker Compose config will work out of the box. It vastly simplified the deployment process too.

I previously avoided Docker Swarm for ages since I assumed it involved the same level of complexity as k8s. I also initially figured that managed k8s would be a safer bet than managing my own Swarm cluster, but if you’ve used anybody’s managed k8s (or read https://k8s.af), you’ll realize that every cloud provider has their own closed source fork of k8s with plenty of nasty bugs that you can’t do anything about.
I use Docker without the network virtualization as a package manager.

Docker make it easy to run the same version of code in different places and let’s things run next to each other without version conflicts.

Also, I think you’re in a very small minority not to care about $720/yr increases in your hobbies.
As was pointed out, you still have to figure out which signal comes from which meter, so unless you find a way to tag them all, they’re anonymous.
Don't use job postings in linkedin.

I think for 600 a month you can promote your account to recruiter lite. You can approach as many people you like. Be aware of the fact that sourcing is almost a fulltime job. Compare that to a 15% fee most recruiters can be negotiated to.
Even if your default starting stack is somewhat complex, for example, separate client and server apps, database, cache, and queue, most one-click cloud providers (ex Heroku or ElasticBeanstalk) offer ways of unifying logs, monitoring, simple provisioning, etc. You are “locked-in” in that you can’t move to another provider within an hour, but the lock-in would still be very low, you can use generic technologies (ex: Memcached or Redis) and have an impact only on a few config files...

I’m not telling people what to do, if you like K8s or Docker or what have you knock yourself out, and I mean it. For example, people keep telling other people on HN not to use React and that’s a hill I’d die on - and could write a dissertation defending it. I’m just wondering what the dev experiences of others are so I may learn from them.
A laptop in this form factor won't be great for gaming even if you put a dedicated GPU inside, there's not enough room for cooling and especially not when replaceable components take up more space. For half-decent laptop gaming, you either want a giant beast or an eGPU (generally via Thunderbolt).
He meant sites offering you a free product or a months worth of credit for sending a message to X of your friends if they sign up as well (and if they're smart they get your friends email addresses like that even if they don't sign up)

I think for one thing it would cut down on the phenonenom I've noticed here where slightly controversial comments are immediately downvoted, but which then are upvoted back to full visibility. There seems to be a dedicated core of HNers who zealously and frequently downvote any comment that's not directly related to hard-core technology issues (there may be other motives, I've not examined the patterns carefully). These quick dowvotes are often enough to cause some feelings of ill-will that persist through the rest of the exchange.

I think limiting the number of available downvotes would drastically reduce these quick downvotes, which would be a good thing.
If that's the case, why doesn't Congress pass enabling legislation for DOE regulations that would require the power industry to provide the necessary protection and spares within a defined time frame?

I always thought it was eastern Washington, on the road from Spokane to Moscow.
My car has this. It's actually pretty well-done, and I can do it while keeping a hand on the wheel and eyes on the road.

Of course, I could also stare at the screen and use the knob to rotate through a keyboard, or use my voice. It's all about the options!
I didn't mean to imply that developers are weak minded (I hope not - it's the industry I have worked in for the last 20 years). In 2020 alone the video game industry took in 179+ billion dollars vs. the "tech" industry's 409+ billion, so I'm not sure that saying it "pales" in comparison is completely fair. Meanwhile the term "tech" is pretty broad, while games is a very narrow focus that might well be included in the "tech" sales... I'm unsure how that umbrella term is calculated.

Either way, I certainly meant no disrespect.
This is, quite astonishingly, a mechanical prime factorisation machine. See http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/Mike-Williams-Lehmer.html for more.

The St. Lawrence Island famine is interesting -- though a very small incident that seems more due to extreme geographical isolation than anything else.

The word "famine" doesn't appear once in the 5000+ word article on the Dust Bowl; and, we know it wasn't really a famine. Poverty-inducing, for sure, but mass starvation is an entirely different type of disaster that is almost always man-made by bad economic policy or war, which I believe is what OP's point was.
Doesn't seem to work on black faces, or faces with beards.
I don't know how many people need to storm the capitol under the instructions of the loser of a recent election before you stop thinking the people commenting on it are "hysterical".
Precisely. It has to go both ways or it's not really free speech.
If it is reasonable to assume that some individual members of the police force are sympathetic to the Q/Boogaloo cause, who is to say the person responsible for coordinating with the Pentagon wasn't a fellow traveler? Police forces, on the whole aren't exactly politically neutral: during primary season, I recall a republican politician getting a picture taken with a policeman who had a "Q" patch on his uniform.

There is not enough information to come to either conclusion, but I would like to think the DC police leadership didn't/doesn't plumb those depths of incompetence. The public (and congress) deserves answers on what happened and why.
We don't sell ads but we are selling ourselves so you can sell ads in the future.
You asked following: "Why do you want to go to great lengths and "educate" people on your point of view?"

The only strawman in this thread is the one made by you in the comment I am responding to now.

If you're worried about logical fallacies like Whataboutism, you've just committed an Ad Hominem. Why go there? Why question my humanity?
I have witnessed automotive companies looking at shaving fractions of pennies off of BoMs for ECUs. Obviously cost savings is only somewhat related to margins, but that's a datapoint.

It would not surprise me to find out that Apple makes more money per iPhone manufactured than Toyota does per Corrolla, but I could definitely be wrong about that.
If it’s a shared machine for projecting notes, chances are it has nothing stored locally.
Powerful lobbies shape our laws according to the interests of corporations. "Public Squares" have largely moved to privately-owned internet platforms. And there's no way to have a "voice" on the internet protected by the first amendment because no matter what you have to go through a private corporation that can decide to cut you off at some layer in the stack, even if you self host.
No I'm not.

The russians of the time called the mongols by the ancient name "huns." Or at least, those that wrote the history did.

Prestor John was the mythical christian king who was purportedly laying waste to Islam from the east as Europe was attacking in the crusades from the west. Of course, at that time, it was Genghis Khan that was attacking the Islamic states from the west.
Gentrification tends to make places shiny, boring and dead. Just look at neighborhoods in London and NYC.

Random groups of workers of moving-up industries rarely make a good cultural impact.
"The grind of selling" is exactly one aspect freelancing which I'm unsure I'm up for. I do understand it's necessary for this to be successful.
I stand corrected. What's a realistic solution then? Acceptance that times change, cities change and nothing is permanent and any attempt to create permanency almost always comes with some kind of consequence?
Googlers don't work 80-hour weeks. At least, not in New York. You can pull 40 and you'll be fine; 50 if you're going for promotion. That may be an artifact of everyone willing to work insane hours going to hedge funds.
Sure. Is there a way to reach PG? I can email and check with him.

Also, I picked this name as we decided to put up HN India in a HN meetup and also because HN conveys our objective well. We are not running this for profit.
I lost a little over £1000 from my debit card once; the bank did refund it but it took 5 internal forms, a police fraud report and a month to get the money back.
Yes, it would've been better if they haven't copied/modeled after HN. And am still not convinced of the idea that only India specific content should be posted/allowed in "HN India".

Do something original. HNI folks, may be you are tying to do a TEDx copy?

There. Manual memory management. What? It's not as if when you free() something that was malloc()'ed, it gets returned to the operating system right away. It just goes back on the free list. Garbage collection amortizes that.

How is this lawsuit worthy at all? I don't understand how his identifying this "price loophole" is anything other than "innovation". A lawsuit for "lost revenues" simply because a 3rd party found how to save people money seems ridiculous.

Sony (market cap 29 billion) is bigger than Google (market cap 170 billion)? Google has 35 billion cash in the bank.
Knocking on Heaven's Door is by Bob Dylan (covered by Guns 'n' Roses).
With regards to market cap Google is indeed much bigger than Sony, Vivendi and even Citigroup.
This isn't unity specific, the only reason they did it was to see if the user could then find the document. The failing in this specific case is more on the side of Libre/OpenOffice.
It really is like someone tripping over your brain's power cord.
> I don't care if and how the rich got richer if it was above the board.

That's not a particularly meaningful statement - all you've done is move the object of contention to defining what is or isn't "above the board."

If your definition of above-board is "legal," I can point you to a litany of history's greatest atrocities that were legal. A more satisfying definition requires deeper inquiry.

> "white doesn’t represent a shared culture and history in the way Black does"

To be fair, it's not a very high bar. I don't mean this as a slight, but "white American" doesn't seem to represent any shared culture or history. It's based on an American (originally European) concept of visibly distinguishable race rather than any attempt at an ethnocultural grouping based on something like a linguistic or culinary basis. By the Census definition it includes people "having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East or North Africa."

The problem is, most all of the above applies to black Americans as well, with the regions switched. I think I would be much more open to the idea that the descendants of slaves in the US, for instance, have a shared history and culture.
Can you point to a GME like price action of a non-penny stock ticker? Of course we both know the answer is no. Things shot up, things shot down, of course people who bought the hype lost money. There is nothing surprising here.
Surely many successful marriages have started by finding each other on dating sites, right?

I don't think anyone is suggesting diving in to a full-blown partnership on the basis of what you see on a webpage.
Direct DB access isn't typically world-accessible either. It's not like I can do an XML request to get my hashed password on any site.

The point is, if someone has gotten enough access that they can actually get a raw copy of the database, it's just as likely they can get a raw copy of the config files, or /etc/shadow, or whatever else is on the host system.
...with all that money from neets, weaboos, and gold pass users? :P
They should really just add a little note on all of them explaining that the most restrictive sign always wins. A surprising number of people seem not to know that.
And your margins.
To provide another view: I rarely had chores (other than generally to keep a basic level of cleanliness) and didn't get an allowance. My parents were divorced, so this kind of "family life" is pretty foreign to me, but I never minded. I trained myself early to live without needing much. By high school my mother realized that flimsy "you must work on x between 6-8" rules just weren't going to work on me as I'd simply refuse to do it. I coasted through school explicitly doing the bare minimum. My mother yelled at me and tried every kind of punishment possible for my bad grades, but it went in one ear and out the other. I never did "community service" except the 25 required hours, and left cross country after sophomore year. I never complained about food.

I spent most of that extra time learning how to program. I had no idea it was profitable; I started because I wanted to cheat in online MMORPGs. By the time I was 18, I'd been programming for seven years, and knew enough web stuff to skip college and start contracting. Today I'm 21 and have a job that pays six figures.

I realize CS is anomalously profitable, but I think that growing up in the sort of family described in the article, the kind that makes you do arbitrary character-building exercises, the kind that believes in heavy socialization, would've not only been horribly painful for me but stifled my economic potential.

I personally think extracurriculars as a teenager are a waste of time, because they're always going to be a stunted, baby version set up for you by adults. It's a much better plan to gain financial independence, after which you can do literally anything you want.

Also, giving back to the world is honestly just not high on my list. I just don't think about it. I mean, I think about possibly doing a startup someday, but that's mostly from the perspective of the world having lots of problems that need solving, not some kind of good feeling about giving back to society, which is nice but not really a big motivator. I still don't understand why it's supposed to be indicative that someone has been raised well.

I will say that I strongly agree with the article about standing back and letting kids make and learn from mistakes; and making rules that are consistent.
For recalls the customer could subscribe to a public recall channel and warranty can be handled on a machine-identity basis (at least until the warranty actually kicks in) so none of those really require personal data upfront.
Oh okay that makes a lot more sense. Thanks so much, I'd been wondering.
I’ve worked on infrastructure (design) engineering teams at a very large company that still does their own datacenters. I can confirm that spinners are still very much in use and are not used for archival purposes - that’s what tapes are designed and used for.
Adding a null column on PostgreSQL is instant. Import your new column data then apply defaults and constraints. This is how people have avoided length locking periods on production databases for years.
The properties of sets, rings, groups and so on that they most often use were established prior to the invention of category theory in the 1940s. Therefore the fact that they use subjects that category theory tried to find abstractions in no way suggests that they are based on category theory.
> they still ... mis-label / mis-place many buildings

On the contrary, that was in the traditional map.

The author’s actual point came after that: that Look Around didn’t have the same data quality issues, proving so free of such errors the author speculated whether they’re using manual labeling.

We absolutely will not be selling your microbiome data without your consent, and it's something the team and I are quite adamant about. We also will NOT be selling or using any of your personal genetic data without consent. Any analysis and discovery will be on completely de-identified data, and will go toward our goal of improving health care.

Thank you for supporting us, and we hope that the insights we provide in the early access may be valuable to you!
> I would be surprised if it's not a completely subjective experience—one person's synesthesia probably doesn't match another person's, per se.

I was wondering this too. Since they used machine learning instead of medical data, it means that each synesthesia case may be unique enough to throw off a synesthesia-color/shape catalog.

Kandinsky might have ended painting abstract art because normal art was ruined by his synesthesia, just as his abstract art is incomprehensible to someone without his kind of synesthesia.
I suggest that 5 of them would be back on the streets within months, and another 5 would only be doing 'ok'.

Many people on the streets are really broken and have a lot of extremely negatively reinforcing habits, to the point wherein they are the most 'opposite of conscientious' we could imagine.

'Money' would just amplify those bad traits.

For example, if you gave a crack addict $1M, why for a second do you even think they would want to even bother undergoing 'training' or 'therapy' of any sort?

The assumption in 'here is a path towards stability' is that the individual is willing and able to even embark upon that path, which is quite a lot of work.

'Highly conscientious and rational actors' who take the steps necessary for stability and prosperity generally are not at the bottom to begin with.

I suggest it might take $500K in effort on the behalf of social services merely to induce some good behaviours.

So yes, $1M spent on social services, maybe free rent, 'on the job training', re-socialization, yes, that might work.

Edit: differentiating here between 'homeless' of various kinds, and 'working poor' obviously. Paying off the mortgage for 'working poor' might work really well to improve people's lives.

Edit: There are homeless people 100M away as I right this as my neighbourhood is mixed. There's a guy I've 'known of' literally for years, and I hear him have other conversations with bystanders. He has access to welfare and social services which is just barely enough to squeak by on rent, food, subsidized electricity, but usually in the summer he makes the choice to rough it, 'outside living' and opts to pay rent in the winter - so he can buy crack (assuming it's crack as that's the drug of choice here) as I see the 'transactions' happening in plain day out in the open. Pouring money on that situation is like pouring gasoline on a fire. There is absolutely no way giving him cash directly is going to help, we literally already do that and we can see the outcome. These situations call for something else.
The immigrant population particularly. There’s a lot of suppressed interest overseas that gets exercised upon arrival, whether visiting or immigrating.
There's no "unemployable" for political crimes. It makes you more employable by the side you did the crimes to help.
The cynic in me says, this is why changes or repeal of section 230 is possibly dangerous in that government officials already have the big social media sites under control but don't want any one springing up who is not; control being their definition of what is fake news and such.

Now an interesting consideration, for both supporters and Donald Trump himself. What happens if he is effectively locked out of all the big social media sites? Does a site which lets him on suddenly catapult to the top or does it get shouted down by pressure originating from the users who are on the sites which locked him and his supporters out?

I mean we are in a unique situation where by a very public official is being locked out of his accounts because of his actions and his supporters are being similarly locked out. That has never happened before and its both awe inspiring and frightening all at once.
Wow. Not the last thing that we are going to find out that was stolen I'm sure. This whole thing is straight up crazy.
