This might be a stupid question but it sounds like those attackers access the Tor Server directly (without using relays). If this is intact the case, why does he not just ban those IPs from those offending hidden and seemingly private relays? Wouldn't that solve the problem until they get a new ip?
There is an inversion building in small market Saas pricing. Due to Saas consumers being burned by disappearing or deprecated services, a low or rock-bottom price is a red flag. This is especially true for a Saas services that are business oriented.

If you can deliver a true clone, why not double, triple, or 10x the price? Most Micro or Small Saas are under-priced anyway. You will not be able to snipe a competitor's customers, unless their service is not working, just by having a lower price.

However, if you can clone the service and attract your own customers you should charge more. Revenue will allow you to build out a more valuable/reliable product.

A potential customer will assume the service is more valuable and reliable than the product you cloned simply because it's higher cost.
> It’s the same story with product values. If you say your product is “simple” or “easy”, you’re rarely saying much.

The descriptions for an incredible number of projects on GitHub lead off with something along the lines of "$PROJECT is a simple ...". My theory is that preemptively framing one's projects as "simple" might be a subconscious defence against accusations of triviality.

Thanks for sticking with the exchange. If courts apply different rules for how natural persons and corporations could speak to juries about reasons for noncompliance, that would indeed be interesting. Wasn't aware of that being the case.

I understand that surreal feeling, I had that a little bit for a while after because you suddenly just realize how vulnerable you actually are. I would not in any way pass judgment on someone else's state of mind based on only a post but for it was helpful to have someone to talk to about it (besides an attorney). For me it was my Dad, but if you don't have someone like that it is not a bad idea to seek out someone.
I was under the impression that the runners were drug tested (at least, the commentators were talking about them needing to take fluids after the race in order to produce a sample). The time is not record eligible because they were cycling pacers in and out and because they were providing fluids whenever the Kipchoge, Tadese, and Desisa wanted, rather than at designated stations.

EDIT: Nike officials stated that the athletes would be drug tested according to Ken Goe [0]

I was reading interview with founder of Ghost blog on indiehackers and he said something about pricing that was new to me.

Alright, well we have two possibilities here. In the case that you are wrong, you condemn a victim to a slanderous label while enabling aggressors. In the case that you are right, and given what limited information is available here, it could appear a prescient response, but the other side of that is perhaps it would be quick-to-judge at this point--which is coming across as off-putting.

Sometimes you may think you know the answer to what someone else is going through, just by having a quick listen to what they have to say. What I would say to that: It's better to be thankful you have never experienced something like this.

That said, it isn't bad for me at the moment. If this had never happened I would still be working with boring business logic software in a company run by salesman, buying things I didnt need and wasting my 20s.

Anywaya, to be honest, it is alleviating to imagine this as all a psychotic imagination. The moral and egotistical implications and questions for me, in that case, feel much easier to answer. Not to mention--I don't have to worry about a nasty person seeking a nasty deeds.

Interested in the read tracking and in a nice email client that will help me get through my backlog. Installed and configured my main mail account.

Advanced account settings was prefilled with almost-right information, which legit helps, but the labels only appear when the fields are empty, so I had to delete the prefilled info to see which ones needed to be changed.

Waiting on the animation between messages got old halfway through the first time, so I looked around in preferences for a way to shorten or turn it off. No luck, but in toggling the option to display or not display the message pane, I ended up with a window that consisted of disconnected segments of the top of each of the three panes. Quit was necessary to restore.

Did a quick search to collect a bunch of github messages from one project and delete them. Seven threads from my inbox and one from my archive were included. Not what I meant, no obvious way to change, but oh well I can live with deleting that one too. Right pane showed eight threads, gave bulk option to delete. Deleted, but then the right pane remained, the search now showed more entries, seemingly including both the now-gone inbox entries plus all the messages I'd just trashed in the trash.

Processing a few more messages, I ended up with the message pane showing only a ~20 px sliver of each message. Scroll bar still behaved as though the whole message was visible. Quit was again required to fix.

I'm on the mailing list, so hopefully I'll hear about future bug fix releases, but the app's too buggy in five min of use to even think about making it a daily thing as is.

I also found the survivorship-biasy part of the article to be a bit goofy, but I found other parts to be pretty spot on. I have fallen out of the habit of reading this past year (I think in part due to stress over political news) and I've been looking for ways to bring it back into my life. These things hit home:

* While I don't think reading will make me successful, I do find the habitual focus/relaxation aspects of reading to be beneficial

* Regarding paper books vs e-readers, as much as I like the idea of carrying a book in my pocket everywhere, I somehow allow myself to get distracted even on a Paperwhite (I'll start browsing the library and/or shopping for other books), and so I've been thinking of going back to regular old paper books

* Decision fatigue! I spend way more time fretting over what to read next than I do reading

Regarding audiobooks, I enjoy "reading" books in that format, but I have wondered lately about the downside of constantly being plugged in; it's a great way to pass the time doing dishes, but I imagine it's also good to give your brain time to sit quietly without input. It's also a struggle to resist the temptation lose myself in escapist fiction all the time; there's a thin line (for me, anyway) between the type of reading that exercises your ability to focus and the type of reading that acts as a palliative.

On second look, it appears the link was changed from a summary of a Harvard Business Review article on Quartz.com to the actual Harvard Business Review article. The summary had lots of survivorship bias, and the HBR version does not. Thought I had lost my mind for a minute there.

One is forward-looking, predicting the outcome (winning) by looking at current data (objective comparison). The article tries to twist this around to be backwards-looking: if it won,it must be better.

Which is a sickening and illegitimate argument.
As always the answer is somewhere in the middle. For a core library that your company or even better everyone using the framework as you uses everyday implicitness is great. You invest a little bit upfront and it keeps paying off everyday. For one-off code you hardly ever touch you better be explicit. Of course there trick here is knowing which one you are writing. A good rule of thumb might be you start explicit and over time add an implicit layer on top while refactoring. With DHH's Active Record example that would have worked out nicely, since from the API perspective is really just reasonable defaults that could have been added once you realize that Active Record thing is actually being used in frequently.
That sounds more like the reader ascribes a moral perspective to the 1%, and a neutral position subtracts from that.

I wonder if maybe DHH is saying he prefers declarative code over imperative code.

I think it is often the case where one can argue that imperative programming is explicit, but in reality declarative syntax patterns are often easier to approach as a beginner and an expert.

> sexual selection is natural selection

It's a matter of definition, I think. Darwin made a distinction between natural selection and sexual selection,

> Sexual selection was first proposed by Charles Darwin in The Origin of Species (1859) and developed in The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871), as he felt that natural selection alone was unable to account for certain types of non-survival adaptations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_selection

So the distinction the article here makes is a reasonable one with a long history. But more recently, the terms are often defined as non-distinct,

> Factors that affect reproductive success are also important, including sexual selection (now often included in natural selection) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection
When I looked into making a solar system simulation awhile back, I actually found it shocking how much goes into monitoring and ensuring conservation of energy/momentum in these models.

Once I was aware of this issue though, even more shocking to me was that many papers on climate models I came across do not even mention they monitored adherence to conservation laws. There is a disconnect there, I would think this adherence either is a big deal (as would be suggested by the practice in astronomy) or not (as would be suggested by climate research), not that it would change by subfield.

>We would find it really weird to leave out certain works of Shakespeare from a comprehensive omnibus because he wasn't particularly fond of them himself.

I agree up to a point. On the other hand, artists often destroy or leave instructions to have destroyed upon their death all manner of works (unpublished novels, paintings that were never fully finished to the artist's satisfaction) still in their possession that they aren't happy with or don't want to make public for whatever reason. I really hesitate to say that society has some right to those works that override the desires of their creator.

Note that this is only about warships... not ships generally. Plenty of sailors went down, in war, on non-warships.

Non-warships are free for the taking once "abandoned" by owners (oversimplification for space). Dead people are dead people. Why we get upset about the wargrave of someone in uniform, but dont think twice about the wargrave of someone not, eludes me.

> When code is written only once and most of the cost comes afterward, that seems like an impossible choice to defend.

> I can't imagine how anyone working on large code bases with other people would want to do this. Yes, implicitness is more fun and beautiful at the beginning, but it becomes a nightmare after a short time for anyone other than the original coder.

Good points, it seems like the arguments for implicitness may have been stronger in the past, when programming languages were less developed. Think of RollerCoaster Tycoon being written almost entirely in assembly in '99 by a single programmer. You'd have plenty of incentive for implicit standards. When you have modern languages with well optimized abstractions, all that implicitness ends up losing out. But if you compare the total amount of work that went into, say, Rust, with the cost of a single dude just building an awesome game, you see that explicitness only wins when it gets to cheat and use way more resources. So yes, explicitness is always better in the limit, but when resources are more constrained, implicitness is so nimble it will just crush the competition.

Phil Schiller on App Store Upgrade Pricing, Echo-Like Devices, Swift
This article is ok as far as it goes, which isn't very far. Embracing implicitness can give benefits in the way that DHH describes. It can also lead to violations of your expectations.

Now, raise your hand if you honestly think that the answer is "embrace implicitness" or "embrace explicitness" full stop. In that context, it's worth noting that the Tao of Python was written well after the language was constructed, as a summary of the choices that were made. It was not originally intended to be a design document.

Sometimes implicit behavior is easy to understand, predictable, and saves lots of time. In those cases, it's good. In others, it borders on madness: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12488705/incorrect-plural...
