I think many people go through similar phases in life, i actually think most of us do. And i believe the more ambitious one is,the more one become incline to those kind of feelings.Two things to watch out for are : how long does it take you to snap back to your regular self, and do you learn anything from those dark moments.

Has to what to do ? I don't have any solutions but i can offer some reflections of my own having been in that dark hole myself a lot of times.

First let's talk about your inner world. I don't know you, and i don't know the struggles you face, but independent of your external conditions, there is a large body of "technics" on how to deal with and manage negative emotions ( lookup self-regulation in emotional intelligence for a start). Beyond that, the idea of "emotional hygiene" has been very helpful to me.Much in the same way that feeling tired all the time is usually a sign that your body is missing something, experiencing long period of negative emotion might be a sign that your are not taking care of you emotional system as you should. Some people mentioned hanging out with friends etc...A sense of belonging is very important (even for introverts) , but there are many other aspects (Ask more questions is you want more specific item as to what to do ). I also get from your post the impression that your self worth is somewhat attached to your success... A lot of us feel this way, and that's a very dangerous way of valuing one self.

Now after all that emotional sweet talk, the fact remains that emotions do usually contain a kernel of truth. i think the gist of it is that your are not happy with the results your are getting given the amount of efforts you putting in. The reason for that might that your model and assumptions about success and how to be successful are not accurate as they can be. In other words, what you experience as "luck" for other people, might not really be luck as much as a chain of consequences that your model cannot explains. You mentioned someone getting a cheap housing, maybe it was pure luck , or maybe that someone has better soft skills which translated to better/bigger social network which resulted in him/her being aware of more housing deals; and more housing deal combined with better negotiation skills resulted in a good deal.So instead maybe you should be thinking "i need better soft skills".

So maybe this is the time to reevaluate some of your core belief; You seems to be focusing on "hard work" as the main variable for success...But smart work,soft skill, opportunity and leadership are all equally important. How are you doing on those fronts ?
Well, pretending you don't, and especially being critical of others when their private habits are revealed, sure.
Two questions:

* Can I use your card to pay for FreedomPop?

* Can I pay for your card using prepaid credit?
This is no surprise as I rallied against the monocultures and terrible implementations before. I certainly did benefit from thr concept of misuse-resistant crypto. I usually thought of this as a requirement or implementation issue (a la Design-by-Contract specs). Never thought to design the crypto system itself for this or maybe did but fleeting. I'll have to think on that more.

Agreed, although it gets more tired when you go through all 20 flows, vs just one.
Related, something I learned last week when I hosted a beer-tasting baby shower for a mate.

The difference between an Ale and a Lager comes from the different yeast used in each type (the Lager yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus will ferment at lower temperatures - so if you were also once taught that 'temperature' was the difference between the two, you were mostly correct).

But while Ales have a long history over thousands of years, Lagers only appeared in human history in the 1500s. Why was this?

Turns out the Lager yeast, like the peanut, is a cross. In Lager's case, its genomes are a cross between the Ale yeast S. cerevisiae and a South American yeast S. eubayanus. Exploration of the Americas somehow tracked S. eubayanus back to Europe (most notably, Pilzn Czech Republic) where it interbred and was 'discovered'.

I don't actually like peanuts, but I do prefer a Lager over an Ale.

Microsoft Tells Possible Yahoo Buyers It Would Consider Backing Bids
Google acquired Nik for their mobile photo app Snapped in 2012 [1]

They got the Nik software along with it. At the time each of the tools were sold separately for $100-some (don't exactly remember). Eventually google combined them and priced them together as one package. Today they decided to give it away for free.

As someone else mentioned, it's unclear if it means google will stop developing it or if they opened it up to get more users and use it as a research tool to gather more data on type of filters users use and how they use them. So eventually to apply that to some type of automated filtering solution for android and/or Google photos.

That still gets you the ability to figure out who leaked your card number, and presumably a way to manually revoke the number without hosing the whole card.
I think the office integration with google is very good. Recently we switched all of our conference over to google hangout. On the TV you can see all of the meetings and it's so easy to join them.

If I can't make it to a meeting, I simply find it in google calendar and click the video link (that's automatically created) and I'm there.

Not to mention the uptime and spam protection of gmail is renown. Their security is also top notch. I see zero compelling reason to use anything Microsoft.
Again, this presupposes that all thoughts are equal. They are not. This should be a trivial distinction for a hacker to make.

It is also particularly interesting you are talking about groups of people, when this discussion was about Moldbug. That Moldbug holds sociopathic opinions is at this point simply a matter of public record. Anyone with an internet connection can confirm this.
Stardew Valley is such a refreshing game. It's the antithesis of freemium mobile crap, and I wish the otherwise talented mobile devs would focus on games like that.
This is strange. I just created a Docker ID and as able to log into the regular hub but when I try to log into the beta, it keeps saying error.

Is there a user/password length limit? (I used a 30char user/password. 1password FTW).
It's hate speech. Misogynist, racist, anti-intellectual and isolationist with bonus lying and flip flopping. If you don't feel violated, do you at least feel offended?
Hey, that's a good question and a valid concern. Teleport's auth server is designed to be extendable and we plan to add support for a variety of existing authentication and authorization protocols in the upcoming releases based on community feedback and requests.

We use existing 2FA HOTP based access control in the first release mostly to get a good quick start experience and we understand that big organizations will plug in Teleport into their existing auth infrastructure.
You seem to have more experience hedging in the real world than me but I'll bite anyway...

"So, while you can create a theoretical hedge instrument, the application of such an instrument is untenable as a profitable hedge in practice"

There is an infinite amount of hedges that can be created with synthetic financial instruments. Some instruments haven't been invented yet and even if they have been invented you have to convince somebody else to take the other side of any trade. Credit default swaps, options and just about any other instrument were new, unproven and potentially secret at some point. Right now there could be somebody who has figured out a way to do some kind of time horizon hedging and is going to make bank when some startups do/don't IPO.

I actually think it's quite likely.

Edit: Having read some of your other comments on here I would rephrase my answer as this: why would a time-horizon hedging strategy be any less successful than any other hedging strategy?
You're right. Sorry I meant the NS glue records. Those have a 1 day minimum TTL. If you're not already running multiple providers, switching after one is down won't help much.
I don't know, right now there's not a single mobile game I'd rather play over Rocket League, Stardew Valley, or Civ V.
Sorry, I meant NS glue changes on .com, not SOA.

I think it's just a sign of the appetite for real financial privacy, which is not possible in the U.S. because of money laundering and "know your customer" laws.

There's no such thing as a "prepaid, anonymous credit card" that can't be linked to you as a person.

Those are merely my observations
In Portugal we have had this service for many years and it works regardless of the bank (https://www.mbnet.pt in portuguese). Most people I know always generate one of these cards for online shopping, it's safer and easier to control.
High level question about virtual cards and the implication of their implementation: 16 digits doesn't seem like a very high number of available cards, especially since at least two of those numbers are reserved (checksum and IIN number). At some point numbers are going to be recycled, right? Or am I massively underestimating the # of credit cards out in the world? It seems like if a large # of people get a new # for every transaction that it would use up the available namespace pretty quickly.
If you're expecting heavy usage, you can talk to your bank, they'll listen and likely help. You can also talk to the Mondo guys (https://getmondo.co.uk/) who have been recently working on building their API... but I'm not sure it'll be usable for you yet.
It's not about "might." That's like saying the sun "might" set, or the tide "might" recede. Worms like Moldbug have a 100% historical record of mutating into terribly destructive individuals when given even the slightest leeway. On the other hand, tolerating them has a zero percent success rate. Zero! Never, not once, in history have Fascists been beaten by anything by the usual liberal, democratic means of discourse and praxis.

And again, not all opinions are equal. The opinion "we should noplatform gays" and "we should noplatform Fascists" aren't remotely in the same world just because they share the same first three words.

Imagine if we applied this argument to other facets of life! Imagine if people thought doctors were as bad as cancer because they tried to poison cancer cells. Imagine if people thought the Jews who rose up in the Warsaw ghetto and murdered Nazis were as bad as the Nazis themselves!

Also LMAO it's not a risk for everyone. It isn't a risk at all for the usually affluent/usually white liberals that usually stand in the way of noplatforming people like Moldbug. It IS a risk for people of color, women, the disenfranchised, etc. It is facile for someone to say "well that's a risk we have to take" when it's hardly a risk to you at all. Of course politicians use this logic all the time to justify the mass slaughter of civilians abroad. "Well, it might result in collateral ~~murder~~ damage, but that's just a risk we'll have to take."
You're missing the forest for a single tree. The obligation to redistribute changes under the same license is not the only reason to use the GPL. The license's safeguarding of end-users' right to fix and modify GPLed software is a far more important reason, and is the reason why I and many people like me choose the GPL.

I don't want to restrict developers and corps. After all, I am a developer who wants control over my hard work. However, I also don't want to erode the rights of end-users - of whom I also am. I don't want to end up in a situation where I can't fix a bug in my own software because a corporation wont let me.

It's a trade off. I choose end-users.
Huh, TIL about pkgsrc. Been using brew for years.
>Hong Kong has a 15% flat tax and yet they have vastly better infrastructure than we do.

First, Hong Kong has such low taxes because the government makes most of their money by leasing and selling land. They don't need much to bring in as much tax revenue because of this. Their low tax rate has little to do with being more efficient or "prioritizing infrastructure."

Second, why are you using the marginal tax rate for San Fransisco? You should be using the effective tax rate which is much much lower than 50%.

Ask HN: Fellowships to work on startup in SF?
I'm a student working on a software (education + ML related) startup idea with a couple friends, and ideally, we want to spend our summer working in SF.

We don't need much money -- we just want money for rent -- we don't need to buy equipment, we don't need to pay ourselves, and we're good with eating PB&J sandwiches for the summer. We just want to be living and working together, and in SF, if possible.

We don't want to give up equity, so we've applied to some fellowships, like Lightspeed Venture Parters and Summer@Highland. But these kinds of zero equity fellowship-style programs seem pretty rare.

Any ideas on how to be in SF for the summer? Anyone know of any other programs that we should look into?

We're doing our own research on this, but I thought I'd ask HN in case anyone here had any advice to share.
Smartwatches and the three-second rule
I love the we select on merit part.

Isn't success the only measure of merit for a company?

If they have not succeeded yet they have none. It they are ready to share their income with someone else, they lose benefits hence it is admitting they partially failed.

If they cannot find investment, it means the bank already refuses them an interesting credit, or banks are not doing their jobs?
Oh yes they are, they invest in companies investing, that invest as a proxy. With every level of indirection there is loss.

QE are puting a lot of money on the market, companies are sprouting like mushrooms, and then like NSA chocking on too much data, investors are losing efficiency in searching a needle in a haystack. Hence more money is lost in the process.

Not enough competition result in a bad state of the market. Too much result in an unsustainable market, especially when it is biased. Investor's money can make a company hold a market while losing money for enough time to kill the competition while having no merit other than the ability to have investments. Even the market of VC is showing signs of inefficiency.

Well, welcome to our world where "Free" market is failing even the top of the economical pyramid.

When our believes result in constant failures, we should stop believing in old fantasies.
Free market and "laissez faire" do not self regulate itself in a virtuous way anymore. I suggest we try to understand how we failed and how to come back to the conditions in which it was working.
That would never fly in America - we would prefer a method that generates revenue for the police.
I don't think that applies here. It's their own service.
What Are the Best Words?
This is great!

One thing I'm having trouble with is finding information about transactional semantics. If I make several updates (to differently sharded keys) in a single transaction, will the transaction boundaries be preserved (committed "locally" first, then replicated atomically to shards)? Or will they fan out to different shards with separate begin/commit statements? Or without transactional boundaries at all?

In fact, I can't really find any information on how CitusDB achieves its transparent sharding for queries and writes. Does it add triggers to distributed tables to rewrite inserts, updates and deletes? Or are tables renamed and replaced with foreign tables? I wish the documentation was a bit more extensive.
>I don't think that's easy at all.

Sounds like a pretty simple classification task for an RNN given the newly available large corpus of things they don't want the chatbot to say.
Yes there is. You can buy prepaid cards at grocery stores or malls, although privacy generally erodes when you want to ship.
It averages out. The people who do have credit cards are issued far, far more than 3 numbers in their lifetime due to cards expiring/being cancelled, promotional offers etc. I myself have had something like 10-15 different card numbers in the past 10 years, without actually trying.
Wrong. Wet nurses do.
I don't understand why they need to make these cuts. It's Microsoft - they surely have access to extremely cheap hard drives through bulk purchasing. What's 10GB?
pockettactics.com is probably what you want. They concentrate on the more interesting stuff: RPGs & roguelikes, strategy / tactical wargames, 4x's, boardgame conversions. Very little of what they feature is the "free-to-play" ilk.

Not trying to be rude, but why would you need this?
I believe expiration date plays into the possible combos. I'm not sure if CVC does.
Free and open source software don't allow that sort of restriction. So while Rogaway's intentions are honorable, the results aren't coherent.
ah yes, ur right. not cheaper.
Cloud service (assuming you mean AWS/IaaS/PaaS competitor) is realistic since AWS is doing $10B run rate right now taking money out of legacy vendors like nobody's business.
If you want to learn what's one layer beneath the hood of most higher-level language environments, they are well worth the investment. And IMO this stuff is worth learning. One day, you will be glad to know it when you use strace to successfully debug why your application doesn't work, while the rest of your coworkers tear up more code in befuddlement :-)
Hey, author here. I used byzanz for this one: https://www.maketecheasier.com/record-screen-as-animated-gif... . For snazzier stuff, Screenflow is good.
What's so good about RHEL/fedora vs debian or ubuntu server, say?

It's mostly just a matter of personal taste / preference. I use both Ubuntu and Fedora/CentOS and there's not really any huge functional differences. For a long time, years ago, people argued that apt was a much better tool than yum, which may have been true at one time. But for quite some time now I've found yum to be equal to or superior to apt. Of course, Fedora has moved to dnf now, where dnf is a more modern, drop-in replacement (mostly anyway) for yum.

For me, I tend to stick mostly with the RH derived distros just out of familiarity. I've been using Red Hat Linux (and derivatives) since RH 6.2 was out, and I know it better than I know Debian or Ubuntu or Slackware or whatever.
> In other words, it seems arguable viewers view for the games more than the Let's Player. If people would tune in without the games then there's no reason for the Let's Player to have the games at all.

Successful Let's Play personalities like PewDiePie or Markiplier, or even the more critique style of TotalBiscuit, tend to get very similar video view counts if they're covering a $2 indie game versus if they're playing some $60 AAA title. I think there'd be a way bigger difference in video view count if the specific game being played was particularly important.
I don't agree at all. I think CloudFlare is almost a public utility at this point, and they should offer services to anyone and be completely blind to the content they are serving. If LEAs have a court order, then they should definitely remove them from the service but not before. This is a law enforcement problem and it should not be CloudFlare's responsibility. Banks are not generally forced to police each customer's transactions, neither should CloudFlare be forced to police their network. They are a blind intermediary and they provide an extremely valuable service.
What if everyone is overselling and Microsoft is the one with the most success and they are the first ones to see consequences. I mean, they have a huge infrastructure, I give them the benefit of doubt and consider also that people might be abusing.
That's not "cybersecurity", that's paper and pencil cryptanalysis. Completely different skill.

Here's NSA's internal course list.[1] Not much about puzzles.

A great deal of DDoS services are essentially MITM intermediaries. Akamai, Black Lotus and others do the same thing. Why is CloudFlare the bad guy? They have an exemplary record thus far.

'open-source' means that the public can examine the code.

Not exactly. "Open Source" has a very specific meaning and it goes beyond simply "being able to inspect the source".

https://opensource.org/osd-annotated

And yes I know that OSI don't have an official trademark on the term Open Source and that the OSD isn't a de-jure standard. But I'll argue that it is the de-facto standard among knowledgeable people working in this space.
"We just think that you just shouldn't have to share your personal info with a random merchant you want to buy something from."

FWIW, this is, and has been, possible with regular credit cards for as long as I've used them (20 years ?)

Nobody anywhere checks the name on a card. Nobody. Not amazon, not google, not a small online retailer, not a large one. Nobody. Zero.

I made up a default fake name ten years ago and have used it consistently for everything from DirecTV[1] to my daily-used Amazon account to magazine subscriptions.

Yes, of course they have an address (not my home, but an address I control) and of course a global observer (or just my bank) can correlate and index everything I purchase ... but not any of those vendors.

[1] Yes, this does indeed imply that I paid them the big up-front payment instead of allowing them to do a credit check with my name and social. This is a very rare downside, however.
Have a separate domain that points to your real origin IP. This is how I do it. I have company.com and companyprivate.com (obviously named so it's not so obvious they are related). Company.com points to CloudFlare and companyprivate.com points directly to the origin. Nobody knows about companyprivate.com except the people who need to.
People over at thurrott.com think this has to do something with the allegedly upcoming full device backup feature in Windows 10.

I can imagine easily having terabytes of backup data for unlimited plans. Still I don't get why the free tier needs to shrink.
What term would you use for "publicly visible, but not hackable-by-license"

Historically, the term "Shared Source" has been used to refer to those kinds of situations, although it's not exactly a strict definition.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_source
You could probably whitelist with a .dockerignore like

* # exclude everything
!README.md # include the README.
!run.sh # include the initiation script

You would want to check exactly what the globbing rules are for the .dockerignore file, though. I don't know whether '*' will catch .dotfiles, for instance.
