I'm not quite sure what to make of your post.

First of all, Spanish has a whole other problem, because there is no "official" Spanish AFAIK (even though people from Madrid claim that), compared to e.g. German and "Hochdeutsch". If you travel around Spain, just half a day from Madrid, even well educated, employable people will use words and constellations nobody would use in Madrid. And I think that is totally fine, people adapt to it. Considering the whole Latin American region and their variants, Spanish is a mess in this regard (they officially write words differently, using 'x' instead of 'j' in several occasions), but you can tell where somebody is from.

Regarding the deterioration of English: perfectly employable, smart, educated people in high paying jobs use "irregardless" (that missing 's' was my mistake), and it somehow made it into dictionaries, and it seems you think it is a word too. But think about it, does it make sense?

Why would you negate regardless and what does that construction mean?
Yikes. I've generally had good experiences with TP-LINK, so this is a bummer. But as others have noted, open source firmwares are available, so there's an upside.

Where I live (in Canada), it isn't just the lottery. Some provincial governments run full-fledged casinos, and pocket the revenue from that. It can be quite easy to sink a great deal of money into casinos, and unfortunately, some do.
> Bitcoin and cryptos ought to be banned for good.

Strong statement but if you have a valid argument then I can be convinced.

> Cryptocurrencies are scam and outright bubble that will bring down the world economy.

And that's not an argument, that is purely speculation as well.

> There is no currency without an authority to guarantee its value.

There is now, they're called cryptocurrencies.

> Cryptos are pure bubble.

2 things:

1. What's the difference between a pure and impure bubble?

2. Why is it a bubble?

> If there is any good in this thing, it's ease of transaction, which is a question of underlying technology - it has nothing to do with lack of authority or decentralized scheme that cryptocurrencies tout as so important (and fail to deliver).

? This doesn't seem to mean anything. Please explain?
Would you feel better if people stopped calling it a currency? Also do they really have to ban it, can’t they just seize it all? It might be really embarrassing if we ban it and all the capital flees to Russia.
All feminist subreddits on Reddit. Cause I asked them "why do feminists ask for equal representation only in high paying white collar tech jobs with a male majority and not in other jobs with female majority, while claiming that feminism is about equality and not female supremacy?"
you can make it illegal for a bank to do business with crypto exchanges like what SK is doing right now. If all G10 currency do this then it can kill the bubble in crypto. I actually think this is a better move for crypto's future.

> I would like to see a world where the people who use the products have an equal opportunity to contribute and improve it. Not someone behind a wall squeezing money out of pockets, or throwing candy at developers so they'll make their platform more appealing for them. Or at least as appealing as the other guys', else they go under. I'm hanging onto an ideology, I know.

I would to and I also recognize that sometimes the community doesn't always push something in the right direction. Sometimes it takes a dictator to make things happen. Sometimes there's so many desperate projects that need to work in concert but can't or won't because of political reasons.

One of the advantages of a major corporation at the helm is that they can force a vision upon everyone under them and on the industry as a whole. That strength however is a great weakness or detriment to the industry if the person driving the boat has ideas that aren't in the communitie's best interest.
I don't disagree about any of the specs, but when next year rolls around I'd rather be able to upgrade my GPU and add more RAM, not replace the whole thing including an best-in-class 5K display just because it's all glued together.

I'll also point out that the iMac used to be able to be plugged in as a display (target display mode), but the iMac Pro isn't listed on the compatible models page. For whatever reason, they dropped that feature after the 2014 models and decided not to reintroduce it.

Once you're no longer using it as your primary workstation, that gorgeous 5K panel is going up on Ebay or wherever along with the rest of the computer. If you want to spend your money efficiently, I have a hard time believing that's a better deal than a workstation and monitor from Dell or similar.

Not necessarily easier, just cheaper. Google can throw as much money at ML as it wants, but I contend that a top ML researcher is probably worth at least 3-5x more than mediocre one.

How to Choose the Best Chubby Chaser Apps
A rather obvious but often overlooked piece of advice is to "read the masters".

IMHO it is very easy to waste tonnes of time reading papers / books that are OK but still vastly inferior to an account of a master.

Want to learn index theory: read Atiyah and Singer's original papers.

Interested in the classification of quadratic forms: read Serre's course in arithmetic.

Need to learn about the recent breakthroughs on prime tuples: read Tao!

Find time to read Weil, insist on reading Poincare, come up with an excuse to read Scholze etc.

Top mathematics literature is often spectacularly well written.

Broadband over wet string
Except it's not. Commercial vs. residential electricity really is about load profiles (which correlate with costs) and simply are a simplified method of capturing the load you put on the grid. Ultimately, they don't care whether you are actually a residential or a commercial customer, and they also don't care what you use the electricity for, all they really care about is the load you put on the grid throughout the day. If you manufacture gadgets in your basement with a load profile like a residential user, they would rather have you as a residential customer.
Switzerland's Bunker for Bitcoins
So true. Started with a couple AC AP PRO (incredible by the way). Ended up with an edgerouter poe and a poe unifi switch. I'm running the control on a vm on qemu/kvm and the seamless integration is wonderful. Once I plugged in the switch it popped up in the devices section and I could perform a one-click software upgrade, just like the WAP.

I will say that the features in the controller software rivals serious commercial offerings that I've used (Cisco, Meraki, Aerohive).
> You can take something as simple as lotteries to show this.

Lotteries explicitly and extensively inform the consumer precisely what their odds of getting a significant ROI are (namely "slim to none") and lotteries are heavily audited and regulated to make sure they deliver exactly those odds. When polled, those that play understand those odds for the most part and those who play the lottery compulsively understand that they have a problem, in spite of the compulsion.

A rather poor choice of analogy since I think all of us would be perfectly happy if these cryptocurrencies were managed the same way.

BGP peerings are publically published, that's how they work.

Knowing which customers fail to secure their comms is another matter.
I just have to ask, not knowing how to setup BGP but having a lot of experience with PF and ipfw; is it not possible to create a sort of default deny filter so you only exclude the routes you have?

The way your post read it sounded like you had to create a filter for all routes in the world but I assume that's not the case in the practical sense.
You must have felt really witty with that drive-by comment that no one ever probably has posted before!
I don't know why anyone would bother to go to try to visit the US with the paranoid state that happens there right now (edit: and especially by road), there's countless people refused for random reasons, some arrested, taken possessions... I would personally never go there fearing that I'm on some kind of random list and arrested for no reason. There are plenty of other nice countries to visit with sane border control.

Show HN: M1 Finance – Automatically invest in what you want, for free
Unsolved Mysterious Case in USA?

Layers of Understanding
Hello HN! I lead the team at M1 Finance responsible for designing and building our product.

M1 is an automated brokerage that allows you to easily invest in a custom portfolio on our web site or mobile apps. Whenever you deposit or withdraw money, we automatically calculate and execute the trades for you. Your money is invested down to the penny using fractional shares.

For the investor, we think robo-advisors don’t offer enough choice over your portfolio, and other brokerages require too much effort to manage your investments. We created M1 to be the ultimate investing tool. And today, we announced we are eliminating all fees to make the investing experience completely free.

We would love to get your feedback! I’ll be around all day watching this thread, or you can reach me anytime at r.spradlin@m1finance.com.
The Identity Mutilator is microscopic compared to Keycloak. It just does the two things it's supposed to do: let users log themselves in with 2FA, and then log them in to the applications they've been allowed to use.

My take is, if you were going to use Keycloak (or Shib or FreeIPA), you'd already be using Keycloak.

Just to be clear, OpenWRT isn't 100% abandoned, but it's basically just a handful of sporadic package version bumps and backported bug fixes, which might not ever make it into an official numbered release. If the counts on GitHub are accurate/comparable, LEDE has almost 2000 more commits than OpenWRT. The OpenWRT website also seems to be semi-abandoned (the front page has had a spam post on it for over a month; it looks like it was moved there accidentally by a moderator intending to move it to a "trash" subforum).
The dependency on Facebook is kind of unfortunate, as it excludes those who either don't have a Facebook account, or for various reasons do not want to use it to sign up for services. I am myself in the latter category, but went with it as I wanted a single login, and saw it as the best alternative at the time - got some more about that in the 'why Facebook?' section on the site.

Would really like to provide a solution that could work without login, but I'm kinda clueless on how to solve this in a good way, that allows for the creator not knowing what has been checked off or not, as well as allowing others to both check and later - perhaps even on another device - uncheck items :/

> These are places in which routers from major western countries can sit basically side-by-side with routers from Russia and China.

Are you saying that Russia and China should be worried?
I lived on the US / Canadian border for 5 years and traveled to Canada. I can tell you with all honesty that border guards on both sides were very hostile toward me on a very frequent occurrence. When I've traveled through South America and Europe it was very much the same. Hell, it still shocks me that there were soldiers on my train in France with machine guns roaming the aisles.
It's surprising that this isn't more prevalent actually.. Here in India being caught with one just means giving up your cell for the rest of the year.
You get a good non-consumer grade router with network sniffing, per-device bandwidth and connection history, and other nice features like that.
Yeah, I've worked with quite a few top ML researchers at US universities and many of them are Chinese nationals. Even here in the US. With China's economy booming the way it is and the overall political climate in the US right now, many see a better quality of life for themselves and their families in China. It's not just about cost.

Custom and Border agents are usually mean. Maybe the only exceptions I saw were Hong Kong and Japan. But maybe I was just lucky there to meet a happy dude.

The agent did not over step his powers. In fact, the agent did the correct thing. No job. No entry. This is typical for most visa requirements. The officer will simply not risk it.

As an unlucky citizen of the world; At the different visa processes I have been (or friends) through, it is about checking the boxes. You got a list of stuff to have/have not. Check? Entry. Miss one? No entry. It seemed to me that your language, face, or accent don't play much.
any country that allows crypto as an asset will risk an enormous bubble in their economy. it will eventually suck up all capital from other asset class, because crypto can never lose value unless people stop believing in it. the only reason why people believe in crypto as an asset is because the price keeps rising, and it's because there is limited supply. it is exactly same as how art market works. if anyone fully understands what this means then they will know cryptos are extremely dangerous.

> I trust example.com. The problem is they include Google ads which can do anything to track me the browser allows.

You either trust them, or you don't. If you don't trust the ad-networks they embed in their site then you don't trust them.

> If I download the example.com app then any tracking is limited to what they included either themselves or through an SDK.

You either trust them, or you don't. If you decide you trust the ad-networks they embed in their site then you can trust them.

Both are no different. Other than that you can evaluate the first quite easily but not the latter.

My point is that it is silly to trust someone from including advertising and tracking on one platform (binary-app) but not when they do the exact same on another (html-app).
As Webpack user, I can affirm that the documentation and the error handling is way better than it used to be. Webpack, by it's nature, is not an easy to use tool.

I don't think all developers should have to deal with Webpack directly, for most developers a generic Webpack config generated by something like create-react-app should be good enough.

Of course this doesn't mean that Webpack itself should not try to improve, however users should be mindful of what a hard problem the tool is trying to solve.

> Sadly, some of the most popular libraries are being published with AMD Modules, or CommonJS, or no module system at all

Not being current on JavaScript for the past couple years (which is about all it takes to be totally out of date - but I digress), I guess these are out of style, in favor of ES2015 import statements? The webpack docs [0] really don't say anything about that, just that they're supported.

As a consumer of webpack and $random_library should I care? Should I prefer a library with import over AMD or does webpack make that irrelevant?

I can't tell from these docs, but previous experience tells me this is the kind of thing that has the potential to trip me up later when it's a huge pain to switch everything.

Thanks. Can't say I agree on the basis of this list that JWT/OIDC is equally bad to SAML. SAML is an outdated, ill-designed piece of crap that is a ticking time bomb of an implementation nightmare, in large part because almost nobody truly understands the standard or the security implications of the underlying XML Security standards (having written https://github.com/XML-Security/signxml for much the same reasons you cite, I can say it's a minefield). Reading the JWT and OIDC standards so far, they appear much more comprehensible and reasonable in their implementation options.
I've used https://www.metalsmith.io to make a few static sites for local events and small local businesses. It's really great for that type of thing but I am also a developer. I don't see static site generators gaining mass appeal unless they can be configured and published from a gui.

I am from Hungary too, and FYI: we are not a dumb group of people who all have the same opinion on everything, and we somehow all 'profile people based on how they look'.

I don't like that sentence of the article, and I don't like how you generalize too.

"but I'm actually glad American border security doesn't discriminate."

Agree on this.

"Secondly, a lot of east europeans again think they are somehow as respected as west europeans"

This sentence is so condescending again. I don't care how respected I am based on my nationality. People I respect don't give a fuck about my nationality, and that is good.
