The problem with rate limiting is to distinguish a normal user from a spammer. A normal user can send more requests than usual sometimes. If a normal user gets rate-limited by mistake, you are going to get lots of upset users.
That could quite possibly be the weirdest thing I've ever watched.
Hepatitis B Treatment
Thank God for the life of my child who just recovered from chronic hepatitis B from the help of this clinic called Health Med Lab Clinic, after so many years of suffering, i almost taught i have loose him to this incurable disease, but with God all hope were not lost, I can't keep this testimony to myself and my family that is the reason while am out here to tell the world, to whom it may concern and be passing through this same disease called hepatitis B should contact them for help before it too late, nothing is more precious than being alive healthy, here is their email healthmedlab@gmail.com
How was it fixed, if you happen to know?
That seems more like a values thing than a process thing. I doubt that this process would produce terrible work conditions if Amazon actually cared about their employees well-being.
as of now, the Wechat accounts "activated" in China and the wechat accounts activated outside China have slightly different rules, to the point that you can have a 'non-chinese' account that create contents which can only be seen by 'non-chinese' accounts (and without any UI information about it).

Chinese accounts can also be 'semi-banned' where they will be able to read, but not to post video or audio anymore nor talk in groups.
Wow, that's really bad. I get shivers at the thought of trying to troubleshoot that as a client.

Given how much of success is luck, I try and play a game whenever I see successful people asked "how to be successful" where I try and 'spot the overfitting.' Is this really what made you successful? Or is this just what you wanted to do, and because you were successful, you think it has to be why you succeeded because of course your success was earned?
What are the issues with Vulkan-on-DX12? Metal is missing geometry shaders and the tesselation shaders are kind of weird, plus GPU heap allocation is iOS only so I understand the difficulties there (although as kvark mentioned there is a decent Vulkan-on-Metal implementation for the rest of the API in the works). AFAIK DX12 has all of that.

Also Windows GPU drivers already support Vulkan (all the way back to the 600 series in Nvidia's case IIRC), so I don't see why that would be a technical deal breaker. And it definitely won't be a "political" deal breaker for Firefox or Chromium on Windows.
Oh my goodness I have been waiting for this day for a while - we ran into PhantomJS problems with keyboard/mouse eventing and the HTMLVideoElement for testing, this sounds like it should be the cure for our woes of having to hack around PhantomJS's deficiencies.
In some cases, sure. In other cases, nginx is embedded inside some other larger software appliance, and you'd have no idea it's even there in order to think to do that. (Like Apache in in macOS's Server.app.)
Quantium | Big Data Engineers | Sydney, Australia | Full-time, ONSITE | www.quantium.com

Since 2008, our data teams have wrung every bit of information they can from our clients’ data in order to give them the insight they need to make a real difference to their business.

Times and technology have changed, but this remains our goal. Instead of wrangling single, SQL-based databases, our MapR Hadoop platform runs across 200 nodes with multiple clusters using the latest big data technology.
Our industry-leading partners’ real-world data sets are growing along with their complexity so we need to bring more developers and engineers into our team. We’re hoping that’s you.

Working with Scala, Spark and the rest of the Hadoop ecosystem, you’ll be building applications to work with unique data sets (some of the largest and most complex in Australia) to make a real difference to our clients.

We're based in the heart of Sydney, Australia and we're open to relocating great engineers from anywhere in the world.

We already have automated continuous insulin injection pumps that work well. It's a big improvement over shots every few hours. But they still need manual setting of pump rate, based on manual periodic measurements.

A noninvasive sensor that measures blood glucose accurately, even just once a minute, would give you the ability to close the feedback loop and remove all human input from the system. No "oh shit I forgot to measure and adjust". Especially for kids it would be a big breakthrough. In essence, you'd have an almost-perfect artificial pancreas.
i would have done exactly the same thing. i mean, we're talking $800 cash...
Some of those things are built on HTML5 and are not part of the app itself. They also let external companies and partners build these apps within WeChat to extend functionality (taxi, ticket booking, ordering food, etc.).
A Top Poker-Playing Algorithm Is Cleaning Up in China
Amazing the lengths our society will go to cling to our hedonism, even when it's killing us. We should be doing more with dietary solutions, not this.
The lede really stuck out to me:

"Most decisions should probably be made with somewhere around 70% of the information you wish you had. If you wait for 90%, in most cases, you’re probably being slow"

At what point is the information you have available for a key decision enough? You always want more.

This exactly mirrors a MAJOR decision-making framework taught in the Marine Corps--we actually call it the "70% solution."

All of our warfighting doctrine is built around the principle of rapid and decisive action, but the problem is you're in an uncertain, rapidly changing world where there are opposing actors operating around you and you never have all the answers. They emphasize in officer training that a key limiter is being paralyzed with uncertainty and wanting to wait until more information is available, and that you must actively counter this feeling. Indecision is a decision (and often the worst one).

I have personally found this one of the most difficult and perpetual factors I've encountered in both military and civilian careers. It's interesting that Bezos espouses this principle.
So what’s this GraphQL thing I keep hearing about?
Rate-limiting is also used to protect against legitimate users who have made mistakes in config (or are poorly-skilled), not just spammers. It's much better to let them know why things aren't working than actively lie about it.
The API appears to be a near clone of the Metal API.

I think I've done this test or a similar one. The worst was going for an MVC role and it was giving me a bunch of questions on webforms lifecycles and "what does the X.Y" method do.
Just a minor note: It seems you don't mention anywhere what those numbers actually mean. I'm assuming they are seconds, but I can't know for certain, which makes it really unclear if Kim is the fastest or the slowest.

I'm a type 1 diabetic and I've been waiting for this. I'm not a big fan of watches but having a wrist mounted snippet of the email/Slack/text that I just received has been enticing, but not worth the 1 day charge time of the iWatch.

But even if the glucose testing function is somewhat above mediocre AND integrates well with a journal app of my ups and downs, I'm sold. No questions, line me up for a too-expensive band, the charging station, etc.
I wonder if there is a study that determines if people prefer proportional distribution of wealth, rather than equal/unequal.

In the equality studies, the wealth (e.g. candies) are presented as a fiat acompli, baising the respondents with the notion that equal effort was put in by all participants.

The horror stories don't resemble anything that I experienced during my five years at Amazon. I think they're largely propagated by NYT and friends because Amazon out-competed them in their own space.

Amazon is the best run company I ever worked for. By far.
In a typical client-server application, regular ol' REST is also vulnerable to the N+1 problem. Only difference: it's N+1 network requests, which introduces a worse user experience than N+1 database queries (or whatever you use to define your GraphQL resolvers).

one would argue that when you voluntarily install a device that listens to unauthenticated verbal requests, you pretty much consent to everything.

In other words, people who buy alexa and ghome do not get to complain about unauthorized use, or privacy for that matter.
How many of those industries does certification actually work in? Does it prevent dodgy lawyers and accountants?
That's one way to look at the world I guess.
Our society values economic growth above everything. That means you get rewarded more for creating a problem and then making it go away than for solving the problem completely.

This is everywhere. Feeling lonely? You could just hang out in your yard with your neighbors and cousins, put some ice in the cooler and see what people bring over to eat. Or you could stop talking to them entirely, get dressed up in expensive clothes, and come to our exclusive lounge with other people who are up on the latest fashions as well, drink a fancy cocktail, and look down at the people who are drinking cheap beers out of a cooler.

Guess which of these does more for the economy? And which one gets the crap advertised out of it?

Best of luck to them, noninvasive glucose monitoring is not something that has had a lack of attempts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noninvasive_glucose_monitor

But just because it might be a tough nut to crack, it isn't necessarily impossible. Interested to see how it develops.
Federal law governs contract of carriage. United was legally prohibited from removing anyone from that flight to make room for crew. Period.

They broke federal law by breaking their contract of carriage. I don't know what is so difficult to understand about that.
There is a steep power law in bill rates. It is not twice as hard to get $400/hr as $200/hr, but orders of magnitude harder. And my observation - as someone who bills more than these numbers sometimes - is that the higher the rate, the shorter the gig.

You have to look at this probabilistically. Contract programmers taking home $800k/yr are very rare, but folks misusing "upper six figures" to mean $180k are common. I'm not a gambler, but I would happily place bets on the meaning of the OP. This is classic Bayes' Theorem.

The fact that everyone here is jumping into this thread to justify how it could be possible probably says a lot about the psychology of HNers.

Metal on iOS is pretty Vulkan-y, somewhat less so on desktop. I don't love that Apple won't implement Vulkan on their platforms, but I think if you take the Vulkan API and make it object oriented (which is IMHO a good approach for JavaScript) you're going to get something that is reminiscent of Metal anyway.
Keep at it man!
This is great, we need more lifestyle approaches to disease. Not just people hoping a magic pill will fix it without them having to change their behavior.
Hey: Don't work in IT but do play a lot in it, I'm probably an atypical HN reader being "outside of the bubble" but have always wished I had pursued a career in IT.. Anyway..

As a sideline to my daily job that pays national average I spent a couple of years repairing iPhones for friends, family and colleagues, mainly screen replacement which are trivial after a few, but also battery / switch / button / port replacements which are also trivial but often require a small insight into the mechanics of the part as differing screw lengths, different torquing forces etc can Stop power buttons depressing smoothly, all the way down to minor board level repair with (single SMT component replacements, a few BGA REFLOWS { which have a relatively low success rate with only a hot air station }).

The biggest tips I would give to anyone who wants to perform trivial repairs such as battery replacements is to buy a quality set of screwdrivers (PH000, PH00, pentalobe for iPhone, flathead that will be used 2 or 3 times per board) an openesesame type pry tool, a rigid pry tool (never lever against the board, always the side of the case and then with care)' a cheap suction device to remove the screen, a spare set of screws for your phone (you will lose screws with quite a frequency). Apart from that buy some E6000 glue with small applicator nozzle, some quality superglue (sometimes it's needed), small amounts of Methy Ethyl Ketone (MEK) solvent as well as 99.9% Isopropyl Acohol (IPA is often mixed 70/30 with water for medical purposes, don't use this).

Always keep your screen away from the solvents, MEK will dissolve even the most stubborn glue on the battery, IPA Should be used with a cotton bud (Q-Tip for the Americans?) to lightly clean both male and female FPC connectors prior to replacement, let the solvents dry before putting your screen close.

Apply a small amount if E6000 to everything that's meant to already have adhesive pads on, and with regard to screen replacements the FPCS for then LCD, digitiser, screen auxiliaries (earpiece, front camera) has a metal cover which keeps everything secure, one or two of the screws is a fraction of a mm shorter than another, put the longer one in the shorter hole and you get a BSOD where you have cut screwed through a layer of PCB to the next and broken its trace.

The biggest watch out is that spare parts come in 3 categories, reused from original iPhone, generally superior, "OEM" grade (thought strictly they probably aren't OEM, but they are superior grade) and generic. Try to avoid the generic, often the original/OEM are a few £/$ more expensive but when you've spend an hour stripping a phone and installing a part only for it to not work or to have a partial defect, you will wish you bought quality (anyone remember the black iPhone 4 with the proximity/ambient light sensor from hell, until you used a genuine part that had a polarised film and small foam gasket that stopped ambient light creeping in from the backlight?
If anything, that makes me worried that Russia cannot afford to properly maintain and secure their nuclear arsenal.

The % of information missing versus the importance of the missing information... between the two I've learned the hard way that you wait for the right information. Perhaps Bezos way works well for capital rich companies, or it could be my instincts aren't great. I only know that every time I rush into a decision I pay more that I should and often have regrets.
Love the "disagree and commit" part. Perfectly encapsulates the situation where "I'm convinced this is a bad idea, but I'm going to trust you and support you."
Can/did the other side bring this up? I may be watching too much suits, but it seems like an easy way to ruin the credibility of the witness.
Indeed, if you lived through the Reagan years, with its first national-level surge of right-wing political Christianity in decades (one which still hadn't abated), Atwood's book doesn't seem all that out there after all.
>Easy to say when your business is no tied to advertisers on which you have zero leverage.

>Making TLS optional on HTTP2 would have not taken anything from you.

It would have reduced my security in the future when developers used it inappropriately.

>Well sorry, but down there, among the humans, you have PHP dev that are using EasyPHP, people that don't know the command line, people using mixed content and have no control over it, people that can't spend hours to continuously learn new things every week, people that don't have private servers and so on.

Then evolutionary forces far beyond them are going to push them to extinction. Adapt or die as they say. Your friends running side businesses need to realize they are on the public internet subject to grand forces far beyond their imagination. Malicious governments watching recording everything they can on people. ISPs injecting ads into customer data streams and selling browsing habits to third parties. Blackhats compromising machines to steal, or to spread trojans to client computers. Those things are real threats that the 'lowly humans' have to know about if they want to do business on the Internet and not be totally compromised. The fact that bad people exist just raises the cost of doing business.
What if nobody comes over to your cooler?
I don't think everything that's transpired is right, but if that situation played out in the US, I'd expect the FBI to investigate in an attempt to find out who posted a call to violence online.

The first person of interest would most likely be the user of the IP address at that time.

It's unfortunate that operators of Tor exit nodes have a large amount of risk placed on them, but I don't think it's a situation borne of Soviet-era backwardness or unique to modern Russia.
I'm amazed it works as it is, he's going pretty slow at times. All it takes is one person not noticing and it's done.
I've read an article that argued Threads was actually a very optimistic view of what would have happened to the UK in case of a nuclear war. They said after the Cold War, the former head of the Soviet nuclear strike force who was in charge of attacking the UK assured his British counterpart that the entire UK was a complete overkill zone. There would have been no survivors.

Same. Regularly go up a 10% grade.

Except for when I'm towing kids in a trailer. 70kg extra means that the motor will drop out when speed drops below 5-6 km/h, because it's a hub motor. 250W isn't quite enough in that situation.
Am contemplating upgrading to a longtail now that the kids are older, and will definitely get a mid-drive if I do.

C is not a safe language. This sort of thing seems (to me, at least) like a jury-rigged workaround rather than an actual solution.

The idea is to shift the conversation from one of utter disapproval for Russia's actions, to one where positions are negotiable.

If the US has even one instance of doing this, then questions arise such as:

1. Maybe this is unavoidable, and if so how much time/money should we spend chasing down an unavoidable issue?

2. Maybe there are specific circumstances where this is okay? Why isn't this one of those specific circumstances? We should trust the Russian government, just as American's give their own government the benefit of the doubt.
There is /always/ an opportunity cost of any resource allocation. Assessing these and making the necessary tradeoffs so that they can be efficiently allocated is the whole ballgame. Muddying that up to influence it is one approach. It's the one I disagree with totally.

2/3 of the reef bleached is a disaster? I don't know. I don't even know what that means anymore? It sounds like it? Is it supposed to sound like it? Is it manipulative because I (and most australians) really do like the reef. Is it accurate science this time when in the past it has been propaganda?

I have no idea. If it's the latter wolf has been cried too often and I'm reacting to it as if it's yet another piece of manipulation. This is not a good state of affairs for those in the environmental movement pointing at it and the response "Should I believe this more than I believe what Trump says?" The credibility should so wildly different as to be incomparable, but it isn't.
That helps some forms of type-2, but not type-1. This would be a godsend for people if they can make it work reliably.

So, let me ask you this (and this is NOT snark, honest):

What "big announcement" do you think you are capable of making that would result in some rush of visitors?

Gosh, most people have no idea how to make that happen. Do you? If you do, can I have some tips, pretty please?

Most likely, you don't even know how to engineer that. So, start putting it out there via whatever channels you are aware of that might work, such as Show HN or Twitter or whatever. It probably won't get the big rush you are expecting.

I say this as someone who sometimes posts things of mine to HN and they sometimes get a few dozen hits and eventually go up to like 100 or 200 page views. Yes, I also have one piece that has had around 40k page views over some period of weeks. In the grand scheme of things, this is not really a lot of traffic.

Even if you hit the front page of HN, it may not be the rush of visitors of your dreams of avarice. Going viral is the exception, not the norm.
