Pluto is planet nine.

This is 'planet ten', it's called 'Nibiru', and the Babylonians, Sumerians and Akkadian among others have astronomical records of it over 3,600 years ago.

tin foil hat time I do wonder if that's why Pluto was demoted, so when the 'tenth' planet was found it'd actually be called the 'ninth' so nobody would be as concerned about all the doomsday myths surrounding it.

Well as the landlord, would you rather spend 2 months going over the appartment with 12 people or just take the first offer at 10% over list price?

You know what really sucks? Discovering that you have food poisoning while you are out and about, and pulling off to the side of the road to throw up. Then realizing you pulled a little too far off onto wet grass and mud, and need the kind property owner's help to push your truck back onto the road.

Or going to the SO's cousin's for a family thing, parking in the yard like everyone else, getting rained on, and needing their tractor to pull you out.

Now, I'm fine with my 2WD truck. But if I had to pull those kind of antics more than once a year, I would seriously consider 4WD.

One other thing to add:

If they attackers are persistent, there is really no way to guarantee zero down time. THEY WILL FIND A WAY. Just make sure your stake holders know you are doing everything in your power to resolve the issues, and then actually do those things.

An anecdote:

We had been seeing DDOS attacks for a few weeks, so we had most everything locked down and working. But then suddenly one of the most important parts of our site started going down under load. That part is a real time chat system. We looked for which chat room had the load and it was one which did not require a user be registered. We switched the room into registered users only mode and thought we had solved it.

About 5 minutes later the attack came back with all registered users. We were amazed, becuase there is no way the attackers could have registered that many accounts in 5 minutes because of our rate limiting on that. Turns out that they had spend the past week or so registering users in case they needed them :)
Partly this is because DCS is indexing Debian sid, in which multiple versions of packages can be present (due to transitions):

$ curl -s http://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/source/Source... | zgrep '^Package: git$' | wc -l
4

If we didn’t index Debian sid, you’d only get one version per package, but also the results wouldn’t be as fresh.

You can follow one of these two issues:
https://github.com/Debian/dcs/issues/40 (at most 1 result per package)
https://github.com/Debian/dcs/issues/49 (limit by suite, where you could search something else than Debian sid)

If you have any other ideas about how to address the issue, please let me know.

Here is the result of the support ticket I had with them explaining that the traffic was not an attack and is expected to spike from time to time. Edited only to remove their upsell links.

"After looking into the matter, it would seem that our VPS do not have a profile that would accomodate your traffic spikes. However should you switch to a dedicated server, we would be able to apply a a custom profile to your server that we better suit your needs.

Our Kimsufi server are extremely affordable and do not cost much more then what you are presently paying. However they do have limitation, among other things, you cannot order additional IPs on the server. I would advise you to think carefully before purchasing such a server.

Another alternative would be to move to our mid range server, our Soyoustart servers, which offer many of the same benefits as our OVH dedicated servers, however at a very competitive price."
Funny thing is that fungi are the opposite of bacteria and to some extent viruses.

Didn't had to worry about athletes foot when I was living around the 30th parallel.

Haven't even seen anti fungal cream over the counter at the drug stores and pharmacies not because they required prescription but because they were so damn rare that they weren't worth the shelf space so they probably only carried a couple of tubes behind the counter.

The foot care sections had rough loofahs and moisturizing creams.
Moving to the UK the picture is completely different, fungi is everywhere.

On the anecdotal side after never having it in my life I got ringworm(it's a fungus that feeds on hair and creates small red circles on the skin that look like curled worms) like 4 times in the first 6 months of moving into the UK.

It would be really ironic if the magic 15 degrees centigrade mark which made the northern hemisphere mostly free of bacterial and viral diseases compared to the warmer parts of the globe would some how unleash a fungi epidemic due to the developing resistance.

It would be valuable to see statistics about how well this algorithm does against the face database itself. De-rez a sample of images from the database, up-rez them and then find them in the database using face recognition. How often is the original image identified from the up-rezzed version?

It would also be interesting to see how different the up-rez results are if the original is cropped differently, shifted, slightly rotated, darkened or lightened.
Put it out there for people to try. Is it available somewhere already ? Who is your target customer ? You say it is useful for people who browse the web. That like everyone who uses the internet. You then mention "businesses who generate traffic to their websites". Again, this is pretty much any online business because everyone wants to generate traffic to their website. So this is too vague and abstract. you need to drill down further and explain the product specifically for what it does.

The first thing that strikes me is your description of the target market: "people who browse the web" and "businesses who generate traffic to their websites". That is, businesses and consumers who use the internet. In other words, EVERYONE.

EVERYONE has different needs, EVERYONE hangs out in different places, EVERYONE has their own budget, and therefore EVERYONE is a nearly impossible market to target. There's no leverage there, no foothold for your idea to find purchase -- only an amorphous blob of people. Even Facebook, a product truly built for EVERYONE, started off by targeting a small group of people (Harvard students).

Step 1: Stop coding. The #1 mistake programmers make is that they ignore marketing and prioritize development. (Read a few interviews on https://www.indiehackers.com and you'll see the pattern.)* You need to do the opposite. Every line of code you write without understanding your market is time wasted.

You need to find a niche. Identify a small group of people who are related in some way, and who would absolutely rave about what you're building. If at all possible, target businesses, not consumers. The majority of revenue generated comes from B2B sales. Consumers are fickle and are terrible at valuing their time. Businesses generate revenue and are quite used to paying for services that increase their bottom line.

If you can't think of a niche that likes your product, you need to build something else. If you can find a niche of potential customers, however, then you need to start talking to them. What do they need? What are their biggest problems? What do they love/hate? How technical are they? What are they spending money on now? Where do they hang out online? Who are their celebrities and leaders? The more you learn about them, the more likely you are to build something they love. You'll also know a hell of a lot more about how to market a solution to them.

*Disclaimer: I'm the creator of Indie Hackers. The site is made specifically for people like you, so you can learn from others' mistakes instead of making your own, and hopefully go on to build a successful business. I highly recommend giving some of the interviews a read.
> I am however nervous about the idea of storing all my passwords on someone else's server. If there ever were a security breach, imagine the consequence.

This doesn't necessarily follow, depending on the security model of the software you're using. If encryption/decryption is handled on the client, then a breach yields encrypted data rather than anything of use. (You can then attack the encryption on that data, sure, but that's a tall order to do wholesale.)

I think they've done a few things since then.
1) Better training to their reviewers to recognize the main sources of piracy like PluralSight
2) Requiring ID from many new and existing instructors to prove they are who they say they are
3) It's easier for anyone to report copyright infringement they see, since they've added a flag icon (report this course) on every course.

They follow the DMCA process, and it's pretty easy to get your content taken down. Sure, if you report something on Thanksgiving day, you might have to wait until Monday as the legal department isn't standing by 24/7. But I've reported piracy to Youtube and it's taken them 3 or 4 days to reply as well.

In short, it's the Internet. Yes, people steal your digital stuff. Yes, it's up to content creators to police that. Yes, it's tiring as a content creator to chase your stuff all over the Internet. But it's the Internet.

Whoever named this should be fired for missing out on calling it "The French Connection"
I disagree. Actually, I kind-of like what the US is doing - it's creating laws that have international reach (e.g. you can't launder drug money, and you can't bribe foreign officials), and then they apply it to (i) domestic companies doing business abroad, and (ii) foreign companies wanting to do business in the US.

So, each country could very easily create, and enforce, its own set of laws that would prohibit all of the crimes you mention. Companies would do business where they could, and if two countries would have incompatible laws (e.g. in country A, women can't work; companies from country B need to have 50% women employees in every region), there would be no trade between them. Unless they synchronize laws or create exceptions, of course.

In the end, you'd arrive to something similar to what we have today (global trade), except that it would be created democratically, bottom-up, as opposed to what we have now, which is top-down and inherently undemocratic.

Whilst piracy can sometimes be about "market failure" I don't see that being the case here.

The content in question is available world-wide via pluralsight. The author has set a price for his content and it's up to consumers to choose whether they wish to pay for this content or not.

Someone who bypasses this and chooses to pirate the content has made a moral choice not to pay the author for their time as requested.

There is no large corporate here restricting access to content, this is a person who has put in work to create something and released it at a specific price.

If no-one is willing to pay for content then how will content producers be able to afford to make more?

Personally I try to pay content creators wherever I can for the content they produce. I subscribe to patreon for several webcomics and youtube series I enjoy and buy technical books where available for topics I'm interested in.

I'm absolutely capable of going and getting all my content for free to but choose not to do so, because it seems obvious to me that if everyone does that, the content I like will no longer be available, or will have to have other monetization means (e.g. advertising) that I'm not a fan of.

For me the rampant piracy problem is a classic tragedy of the commons. People like the content but would rather others paid for its production.
Complete hyperbolic garbage. Data, given a big enough set, is just a reflection of reality. You might as well claim we have a religion of our eyes and ears.

Given huge sets, much like reality, almost anything can be "proven" at some sort of local scale. It's not a religion or a cult or a new god. It's just observation.

Second, data is a recording of past events, and has surprisingly limited ability to predict future outcomes. There is a narrow window for the most instinctual tasks where it works well and there is a Tom of value there -- but it comes no where close enough to be meta-cognitions ability to give you free will.

Re: investing in solar producers and a coming shakeout

This makes me think of some interesting structural economic issues I hadn't considered before.

Compared to the global distribution networks of hydrocarbons, distributing PV panels is uncomplicated and a lot less bulky. On the other hand consolidation in the industry and eventual economies in scale of production could point to less diversification at the lowest levels of supply compared to a system where individual wildcatters, new tech like fracking, and even cartel members (and outlaws/terrorists) undermining their quotas have a not insignificant effect on the cycles of energy pricing and supply.

Even technology with a well-defined trend toward decreasing prices like RAM or hard drives have this complication if you need to make your purchases right after floods in Thailand, or at the wrong time when a standards for RAM are coming into effect or stopping production.

With a small number of huge suppliers, and decades long replacement cycles leading to boom and bust cycles for the industry, it could be as difficult for users to plan energy supply needs as it has been when it comes from mismanaged areas of the world.

This will be helpful for people like me that want to improve their French language skills. I started studying French four years ago or so and during the first two years the learning curve was painful because this language is not very popular in my country, so socializing in order to practice the skills gained in class was mostly between the same classmates. I wish this project was launched during that time though, but better late than sorry.

The Empire State building was completed in 1931. It had 103 floors, took 13 months from start to finish, and cost $637M (adjusted for inflation).

83 years later, in the same city, the Freedom Tower was completed. It had one more floor, but took 102 months to build and cost $4B.

Obviously that's only two data points, but it's broadly representative of the general trend. Our capacity to build infrastructure has declined dramatically over the past century. Obviously we're still able to do it, but the costs and timescales have increased by orders of magnitude.
