In consulting it’s typical that consultants draw the layout of their sides on paper and send it to a center specialized on PowerPoint to produce it. Or they dummy it in PowerPoint and the specialists take it from there. For Word, at least my firm blocks most of the layouting stuff so that you can only use the official styles. Works for me

Singapore is a tiny bubble that if you are rich you can live a luxurious life style without fearing (too much) for your safety but I would not call it western by any means.
Why isnt this a plugin? It looks like the only change is adding more caching(?), in which case a fork seems excessive.
I went to venice a few years back, there's an outer seawall that protects it from tides.

Venice also naturally floods all the time, when I was over there the large square next to the cathedral / church flooded.

When it floods, it usually floods several inches on average

There's a good article on it here

Opening a Lightning payment channel doesn't require your master private key. You'd create an initial transaction using your primary wallet (which would presumably be in cold storage) to open the Lightning channel and fund it. There's no relation between the two, _at all_. A funding transaction is no different from any other transaction.

By design, the Lightning hot wallet can only hold small amounts of BTC (0.042 BTC currently), and yes, this would be essentially a hot wallet. The funds are held in a trustless, multi-sig, timelocked payment channel between you and your channel peer (which does not have to be the intended recipient). A channel can stay open indefinitely, and it will be possible to replenish it as needed. The idea is to have it function like a checking account. I fail to see how this is any different from a regular BTC wallet on your phone, or even your bank/investment app (except safer).If you're really paranoid about the funds in your hot wallet, you're free to create an m-of-n multi-sig wallet with somebody else you'd trust, which renders that attack vector useless.

Also, your LN wallet needs to remain online _only_ when it needs to transact. It can go offline the rest of the time with no problem. When it needs to make a LN transaction, it'll need to remain online for the duration of the transaction (a few seconds), or else the fund recovery mechanisms will kick into place.
I feel like this is a good thing....it's not going to last, and it gives them an opportunity in the meantime to more easily clean and repair places that are normally less accessible.
May or may not be related but I've seen similar looking spam traffic in my Google Analytics accounts historically.

It might be a spammer spoofing the Googlebot user agent; the IP looks legit though.

Do you have a sitemap or robots.txt on the site?

That prospect has not changed a bit.
Are you on Dreamhost? http://automodelista.com.au/ ?
Yeah, and they are valid documents at least by checking a few.

The interesting question is: why me and why isn't Google detecting such sillyness?
> could they fuel their plant with their own product and still have net energy gain?

I don't see how this is remotely possible. The synthetic diesel here is just a high-density energy storage medium. It's better than batteries because it's denser and compatible with the majority of today's engines. It's also denser than H2 (which is also just a store) and easier to handle.

But the plant here is not producing any energy, it's converting energy (probably electricity) into a form better suited for storage. Solar, wind, nuclear or fusion would be good sources of energy to convert into diesel, at most.

It all depends on whether their process is efficient enough to be worth it.
Do you have a source on the UK having a lower tax rate for early Bitcoin holders?
Nope, but it is from a VPS provider, though one I've had for many years.
Information transfer happens better when you're both in the same room talking. One idea would be to have a designer who is an expert in the presentation software essentially take dictation from the person who wants the presentation done, saving the time needed for a non-expert to fumble around with the software.

But I don't know if this would save much time?
are you saying Googlebot is accessing these URLs on your domain, but they should not/ do not exist? One possiblity is that your stie was hacked and somone did add these URLs for spammy purposes. Do a [site:yourdomain.com] search just to be sure.

And while you can't reach Google directly, you should be able to get more expert support in their Webmaster Help forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/webmasters
Why the UK? I would expect the transaction to be liable to capital gain taxes. I think only betting or spreadbetting are tax free.
Same thing happened when I was there as well. But, surprisingly, it wasn't as big of a hassle as one would have thought. You could just walk around it.

And a few hours later rain stopped, the flooding relented and it was back to normal.
Bitcoin Cash seems to be doing just fine with on-chain scaling. There are concerns about centralization on miners with it, but in my understanding the incentives planned in the original Bitcoin paper account for that.

If I was sitting on a $100mm windfall, paying $20mm seems like a no brainer to be able to live in or at least visit the U.S., where presumably all of your friends and family live, without worrying about being arrested for tax fraud.

Not to mention the moral arguments in favor of paying the taxes you owe.

This strikes me as the answer, too, especially with the PowerPoint example in mind. Working with somebody who is only an expert at communication to get them to communicate on your behalf about a topic you're expert on requires a lot of laborious back and forth, which reduces quality because the subject matter expert spends most of their time trying to make sure that the composer's "improvements" don't accidentally mean something opposite or orthogonal to what is intended. If a manager and a PowerPoint design expert worked together at the same computer, with the manager dictating content and the PowerPoint expert performing the edits and suggesting design improvements, you would get a better end product, but I doubt it would amount to a productivity gain.
Nano previously called Raiblocks is an amazing candidate for fee-less, instant transactions. The block-lattice approach is a fundamental breakthrough that overcomes the limitations of blockchain in terms of cost and speed.

Stellar is also a worthy contender although it wasn't designed with the purpose of payments, but decentralised currency/crypto exchanges.

The Lightning Network daemon codebase on Github is a beautiful well commented piece of Golang code though.
It's a mistake of course though to think some technical change is going to suddenly make bitcoin go up again.
Of course, why assume that complaints about quality of their products must come only from dishonest, stupid or otherwise malicious people? Until recently the default strategy of Musk was to attack or discredit the critic instead of addressing the issue
Pretty decent idea - I'd love to see the stats on how many people print things! About ~10 years ago the agency I worked at made sure every site had a print friendly style sheet which cropped out all the crap and left you with a very readable printed document. I don't think I've met anyone that's insisted on (or even thought about) that in the last few years.

My own interest was piqued the other day when I went to pdf-print a paywalled article for a friend and the formatting was atrocious. Would have been the perfect use case for this. But that was the point I thought "does anyone print anymore or do they just message the article?" Most of the print use cases that came up in my life (maps, recipes, contracts) have been solved/replaced by SAAS products, smartphones, tablets, kindles etc.
I don't understand how this situation is a problem, yet Twitter has no issues with millions of bot accounts existing, which would seem easy to identify if you own the service.

Just as Oracle, using an intermediate representation originally designed for Ada compilers.
It shines new light on the mindset that promises bullet trains and ‘smart cities’ while neglecting public health and malnutrition; the pursuit of heartless policies calculated to keep agriculture economically unviable, driving the rural poor "wholesale into the cities to serve as cheap fodder for India’s ‘economic miracle’; and the permanent destruction of million-year-old mountains, forests and rivers to create a ‘nine-day’ industrial wonder."

I cannot agree with this more.
TL;DR is the author spent years and years of dedicated effort as a gymnast and quit and did not make it to the Olympics. Describes herself as a failure as a gymnast instead of having failed (noun vs verb). And ends the piece with the suggestion that maybe we should all just settle with the knowledge that we will not achieve our dreams.

Wow. Granted I read it quickly and maybe missed something. I take a different view. While the goal/dream is admirable, it is the journey that counts. I've been successful in areas, failures in some more, and somewhere in between on others. I've learned and I've grown in each. I've learned more in my failures than in my successes and they helped shape me into who I am. I feel that if you make the best choice you can given the information you have, you've nothing to regret. Strive to be better. Be grateful for what you have. Learn from mistakes. Sometime you'll lose so hard that it is earth shattering. The goal is to be able to pick up the pieces, and keep moving. The most important step you can take is not the first, but the next.
Nope, as far as I know I've had the same IP for years.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with Backblaze. I've been debating which cloud back up service to go with and your comment has started to sway me away from Backblaze. It is also disconcerting to see the employee from Backblaze only responding to the positive comments below.
Wow, you're not snarky at all, are ya bud?

And? How does your comment contribute to the discussion? Your position that billionaires are all criminals because you personally cannot conceive of anybody making that kind of money the legal way is bullshit, however you wish to dress it up.
My startup is in this space [1]. There are tons and tons of analytics tools so it really depends which ones you're interested in using. The value of adding an event router is highest when you want to use client-side and server-side clickstream analytics integrations. It's overkill if you just want one analytics service like Google Analytics or Mixpanel, but most companies want more than one.

You might also think about pricing models - some services use per user pricing which can be expensive if you have a high number of users but with a small amount of monetization per user. Astronomer uses per event pricing so we're generally a better fit for that use case.

Snowplow is in the data warehouse space where the other main competitors are Amazon Redshift (most popular) and Google BigQuery. If you use a clickstream router like Astronomer or Segment, you'll get data warehousing "for free" out of the box.

Lightning appears to add more problems than solutions. It has a whole bunch of critical issues. Here is a short list.

1. You need to have a computer constantly online or your counter party can easily steal all your money. This leaves you vulnerable to all sorts of attacks.

2. The lightning network works by routing payments through a network to your destination. The issue here is that the routing for the lightning network is extremely complicated and is currently an unsolved (and probably unsolvable) problem. The core issue is that you have to route money though a network where channel capacities are changing with each and every transaction. Imagine trying to route internet packets if the size of the links changed thousands of times per second.

3. It's relatively expensive to create and destroy channels at about two transactions per channel. Lightning proponents claim that this will be rare, but that can only be the case if there is minimal net flow of money. This is trivially not the case because users will be sending bitcoin more than they recieve and the reverse for retailers.

4. Lightning has huge capital costs. You need to lock up large amounts of bitcoin in these channels for significant amounts of time. There is a real cost for this in terms of the lost interest. Channels are certainly not anywhere close to free.
That's a very bad thing for a CEO to ever say. He is the one dictating that his organization hires C workers at best.

Yeah Windows 10 Start Menu is awful in part because of that. It’s like after the Windows 8 debacle Microsoft is telling us: "oh you like this Menu that much? Ok, here is your menu..." and give us one so bad no one dare to use it anymore as a revenge. And it works. I almost never use it because it cannot find what I want. And that’s when is shows anything at all, because on my VM it’s broken 1/4 of the time (no problem with 7 & 8.1 in the same configuration).
Using solar (or other carbon neutral energy sources) to make liquid fuel would probably be of great benefit for a couple of decades at least. Instead of everyone needing to replace their working cars with new electric ones, we can use hydrocarbons as energy storage. This will probably always be more expensive than oil, but where I live more than 60% of the final price is tax, so there's room for politicians to steer consumers towards carbon neutral sources if they became an option. Then there's airplanes, old classic cars, race cars, etc.
Isn't best practice to:

You need to be a non-dom to be make use of the remittance system and not be liable to tax upon the sale of your asset (in this case Bitcoin or other crypto).

Most former British colonies have a similar system (in particular, Ireland, Malta and Cyprus) and (if you have a British passport) could make use of the system there, as you do not have your domicile in those countries.

Your article says that could absorb a third of emissions, which is great. But it'd be even better if we did that and did everything possible to reduce our emissions.
Afaik the market for second hand women's clothing is big in Japan on Mercari (the only startup there with a >$1B valuation iirc). Maybe that's a viable additional growth channel for her to reach an audience that's not finding the web store front.

The downside I think is that users on said app are conditioned to expect pretty steep discounts.
It's possible that your site's IP was used previously for some other sites and it was indexed as http://IP/... now google will retry to fetch the urls for a time.

Maybe you have someone's domain resolving to your IP. Seems to me that nginx is resolving the IP to the default site in the config.
It's more of an art than a science but you can triangulate depending on what you have and what you're trying to do.

If looking into existing markets and figuring out your angle into those - firms like Gartner, Forrester, as well as research arms of banks/consulting firms (Deloitte, JPM, BAML, etc) will have pretty good reports that you can purchase/search for (filetype:pdf can give some great results). I find these to be a good high level starting point and you can go deep on individual topics. "Value added research" can involve customer interviews, public surveys, hands on research (visiting a location), etc.

Not really, but if you decide to look for internal transfers, I think there is an internal advisors program that might help. (I never used it but it seems like a logical place to start.)
That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm rather confident that there's no one inside my machine.

It's not online, but you might checkout RedoBackup... seems like it could be modified to be used this way.
I agree. Cloud is OK as backup, as in if it goes away that’s ok, I can still create a new backup from the live data. But not for live data. I found having a synology NAS to be a good solution. I sync my data mostly from home anyway so it is fast (runs locally) while also being accessible from the outside.
Note that you must get consent for each separate use. If users give you consent to use that data for service personalization, then that must be separate from using the same data for ad personalization and from consent for sharing that data with third parties - even if the first use case is objectively needed by your users, the other uses must be opt-in and can be refused.

"Realistically not every use can be put down a priori because that would preclude allAB testing of new features." means just that - it does preclude you from AB testing of new uses of that data as you might have done before. It's illegal now unless you get user consent beforehand. It doesn't prevent AB testing as such, but it does prevent "hidden" AB testing that doesn't inform users and doesn't give them an option to refuse.
Yev, I’m a new Backblaze customer and am worried by some of the negative reports by other HNers above.

Would you mind taking the time to respond to the less positive comments about Backblaze rather than just thanking the two positive commenters? That would make me feel much more comfortable relying on Backblaze in the future.
Only for non doms. Gains will be exempt from CGT if held in a bank account outside of the UK, unless remitted to the UK. See answer above.
Yes, that "show once" feature works well for keys / tokens because developers usually use them right away in their app so it doesn't get lost.

But for a regular person, you may put them into a deadlock if you generate a secure random 16 character password with 1 chance to remember it.

Just imagine dropping "K@!G-:)XTqqy<44x" in front of a regular user telling them they have 1 shot to store this password before it disappears forever.

Most people who aren't into tech are just going to give up and leave IMO. It took me like 5 minutes to explain case sensitivity to my dad who knows computers well enough to do day trading but calls me up for things like "why can't I login to my email?". Asking him to type in a password like that would probably give him a stroke.

Emailing it to them in plain text is also not a reasonable solution. Not only is it wildly insecure, but you would be surprised at how many people don't know how to copy / paste text.
Most professional archaeologists/anthropologists do ask the indigenous people and do listen. Sure there are always some people who are attention seekers, but the majority do good science and leverage indigenous knowledge. That said, you overestimate how much the people can know. They don’t have ground penetrating memory, and the Maya people have always been far from one united nation but closer to a collection of city-states with some shared cultural traits.

Furthermore, most of the classic Mayan sites were long ago abandoned so it isn’t like there are indigenous people hanging out around Ti’kal or Calak’mul that can just spill the entire history.

Any competent Mayanist would have told you the same as that person in Belize. It is no secret the landscape is dotted with unexcavated ruins, but the scope is unclear which is exactly why this research is so useful.
A poorly implemented prank. :-( It's a permanent redirect, which browsers cache forever (or until you purge the cache).
Hmm, someone elses domain resolving to my site seems plausible.
The biggest point is more administrative staff would help productivity. I'm flummoxed by the lack of admins at the large, successful company I work for.

Many senior managers and staff could be x2-3 more effective. One marketing manager spent all week doing ppt layout for a 10 minute slide deck for the president. Another BU lead spends hours resolving a shipping and receiving fiasco for _one_ package.

When these people do what they're paid for they are really good. But when they get absorbed into administrative tasks they're terribly inefficient.

Ah, ETH. Still among the top ten elite computer science universities in the world. Nice to see it's getting some exposure on "Hacker News".

I'm a technical architect by trade and profession, this is how I earn my living. Students have apprenticed under me over the years. This is not how I would approach teaching computer architecture. He's teaching basic principles. In my view, architecting systems and software is an advanced topic, in the 600-700 difficulty range. The material he's teaching is in the 100 range. It's very theoretical, and I firmly believe that teaching architecture needs to be a very practical, hands-on experience, and that the prerequisite is about 20 years of professional system engineering experience first: technical implementation experience, systems experience, integration and testing experience in the area of small and large scale systems. System, network, and database development and administration. Digital logic circuit design. Requirements gathering, documentation. Those would be the prerequisites for teaching someone to become an architect in the context of computer science.

What he's teaching is introduction to computing. The course is a misnomer. Computer architecture is about designing systems, not operation of the system.
Consider a site that still enforces rules like: 8-12 characters, ASCII only, at least one lowecase, uppercase and number.

Does that seem like the kind of site that will take action to help users with password managers? Personally, I wouldn't expect that kind of site to be quite up-to-date with the newest security practices.
This was just due to one day of tides, not a long term trend.

woah, not so fast. There's no morality in blind obedience.
I never had the opportunity and, according to their website, they closed last month. Since I can't try it out myself, what was so bad about it?
Well, "PR" is FAR from an actual growth lead. PR is a tactic within the overall marketing stable. No straight-up PR person is going to actually create, manage, and optimize growth beyond just PR.
