Whois belongs in an era where email servers were completely open, telnet and FTP were unencrypted, and people had .plan files for all the world to see. It should have died off 20 years ago.
> The lavatories at the WeWork at 524 Broadway in Manhattan, incidentally, are terrific—enclosed stalls with clever toile wallpaper featuring a repeating print of surveillance cameras partially obscured by roses and leaves.

This. The toilet stalls in US are the worst. No privacy whatsoever. Seems like their design is meant to oppress. Hurry you back to work, grunt!

In WeWork I can go to a quiet dark room, with moody music, and take a shit, in peace.
Even better: being able to go and revoke the sending all my contacts to WhatsApp to what I once accidentally "agreed".
If they were flying planes not certified for single pilot operation, I'd completely agree with you. However that would be problematic under both part 91 and part 135. If their actions were completely legal under part 91 and friends/family were not compensating them, I take serious issue with treating the test flights like a 135 operation.

The FAA does have very smart individuals, but they are also heavily lobbied by airlines and are subject to conflicts of interest just like cities with Uber/Lyft.
A bit of both. There's nothing here specific to WeWork itself. You could say a lot of these things about practically anyone who works their day job at any kind of co-working space. It feels like a bunch of anecdotes about freelancers and small business owners who happen to work under the same roof. There wasn't much actual substance and it was hard to tell whether any conclusions were going to be drawn at the end (I'll admit to giving up halfway).
Ask HN: Developer going freelance, how to get started?
How would you begin marketing yourself as a freelance developer starting from scratch, zero, nada? I mean no significant web presence, no 10k Twitter followers, not wasting time with LinkedIn and not having launched an ICO.

I've been quietly employed as a Python developer for a few years now and so as a result I've never bothered making a "portfolio" (not that I know what a developer portfolio should look like - I'm not a designer with tons of beautiful things to show off unfortunately) nor really spent the time building a web presence (I quite enjoy my "offline" life). So pretty much the only thing I've got to show off is a resumé and references from previous employers, which doesn't really look groundbreaking.

Anyone who's been through this before, would you mind giving me some advice on how to get started? Thanks!
That's exactly what I was thinking. Using OAuth logins from Google, Facebook, etc. saves a lot of pain.
But it is an interesting point - why does the bigger chip perform better with a lower turbo clock speed? Does it dissipate heat better & so is capable of sustaining boost for longer?
They don't specify the type of plane used. Some require two, some require only one. If it was the type that requires two, then yes, it was unsafe.
When investigating sketchy sites I have found that domains are pretty disposable and that trying to contact the admin or registrar from the whois data is pointless. They can just pivot to another domain at worst and they probably faked the data they submitted to register it to begin with leaving them unaccountable.

Services like Cloudflare on the other hand are fully complicit in making abuse easy on the internet. If you want something abusive taken offline it is better to go after whoever is hosting it instead of some pointer to where it is hosted, which is difficult when they are behind Cloudflare. If you want a laugh search Google for the terms "booter" or "http stress tester" and try to gauge the legitimacy of the results.
I think it is weird to have a physical address for a domain. At least that should be optional.

Definitely is a pro-company and anti-individual concept. If you are a company no problem using your address. As an individual it is not private, do you want people who hate your site knocking at your door and your kid answers?

Then namecheap as whois guard and all that. Extra rent you have to pay to keep your privacy!
It still goes through a cylinder a-ok.
Please please invent the cure (CRISPR based?). The longer we live, the more likely we are to have dementia. Average life span is on the rise
It isn't too surprising that a 24.8MB L3 cache vs 13.8MB L3 cache can make up for a 4.4% clock speed deficit.
Indeed people will die over it. But you have to make a convincing argument about changing behaviour as opposed to playing a variant of white man's burden.
One I know of is Williams Advanced Engineering who are building a battery factory for Aston Martin. That's fairly low volume, however.

Another is the quite significant investments Dyson are making in EV technology; they plan to build an EV car by 2020 but details are sparse.

Probably the most significant, however, is Swiss engineering group ABB, who plan to build Europe’s largest lithium-ion battery factory in Sweden targeting annual cell production equivalent to 32 gigawatt-hours by 2023, over 90 percent of Tesla’s Gigafactory target. [0]

I hate to break it to you, but many planes are flown by one pilot- Even some small jets are certified for this and it happens all the time... Possibly above your house.
Fair enough, I didn't necessarily mean that server. It's true that he's secretive about his setup, but I wouldn't say he's highly opposed to others, after all he's the mod of the subreddit and yet people can freely discuss how to setup their own.
Sure, I'm glad you asked.

Singular "they" has a long history of being used as a generic pronoun, before a bunch of white men decided in the 18th century to try and prescribe "he." Singular "they" is making a comeback, though, and in this case it would be appropriate.

It offloads that pain to the user. What if I no longer wish to have a Facebook account? What if I lose access to it?
> This is sane for business because executives can focus on maximizing the input metrics, without caring too much about the outputs, and evaluate separately the assumptions they made about the business...

That's basically the problem right there. If you treat the employees as a giant black box, you don't observe when workplace policies (that might not even work!) get in the way of human decency, let alone helping a diverse group of employees each flourish in their own way.

Employers instead sit around wondering why there aren't enough Latino engineers without even considering a remote work policy that would let engineers live in El Paso, Phoenix, Los Angeles, or Miami.
> take a shit, in peace

Which is annoying, because there are only a fixed number of stalls (in my WeWork there are 7 total stalls for all the men in a 7 story building). I hate going from to floor looking for a place to take a shit. Unless you had something really sickening for breakfast or lunch, taking a shit should not take more than 2 minutes. I don't know what people are doing in the bathroom that takes them so long, but I suspect it's people taking a break from their work in privacy.
It will be a virtual reality.
In our new office, our stalls are laid out in such a way that you can make eye contact with the person shitting across from you.

Aside from all the other myriad god-awful decisions that someone didn't think through, this one weirds me out the most. I know it's hard to see these things on blueprints, but it's as if these people never shit.

(I know, I know - the correct answer is, "this is the cheap best-practice way of installing toilet stalls". Fuck you; I'm glad I have a private unisex bathroom I can typically use to handle private bodily functions.)
Unless you’re a photo pro shooting sports or fashion with 50MP RAW images at 10 FPS then picking and correcting on a deadline. Then yes you do.

Ask HN: Has anyone here graduated from WGU, or know someone who has? How was it?
I've just finished my Associate's degree in Computer Science, and i'm planning to transfer into Bachelor's program for the same. However, i'm certain that i want to pursue a career in information security, and i haven't found many institutions that would let me specialize while an undergrad; There are a few, but relocating for school will be extremely difficult for me.

Enter Western Governor's University, which is an accredited, online university that offers information security degrees at the Bachelor and Masters level. I would be able to transfer into the program fairly easily, I can afford it, and most importantly (for me, at least) It's self-paced, and i can focus on one class at a time, rather than spinning plates.

My biggest concern, however, is how relevant the material and quality of instruction would be. I have seen online education of excellent quality before (MIT open courseware), but i haven't found too much on WGU that i feel is unbiased or reliable.

Does anyone on HN have any thoughts? or better yet, has anyone here graduated from WGU's cybersecurity programs?
I've always appreciated that .ca domains are private by default.

Even without whois, you can dig the IP address and find out their ISP (sometimes). I've had some success getting compromised servers shut down by reporting them to the abuse email address in the dig record. If you email amazon with the details of malicious AWS instance, they will notify the customer and/or kill the instance pretty darn quickly.

Does anyone know of an open source program that finds malicious IP's in apache / nginx logs and reports them automatically? I've been thinking of making this tool but it must exist already.

In my head, I call it the internet hygiene project. It's a slow and very unsexy way of dealing with the botnet problem, but I think it could make a positive difference. Admittedly, it'll only catch the low hanging fruit, but there is so much of it, I think it is a good start.

Apologies for going off-topic.
It's not that dire. They simply wind up renting out entire floors of their real estate to "legacy" companies. Sure they can't charge the premiums that come from leasing small spaces, but they're a real estate firm which makes them a little more resilient to a startup downturn.
Even better best practices: Don't let the server be able to derive the password at all. Have fully P2P user accounts that use PBKDF2 to extend passwords into proofs that can client-side only decrypt public/private keypairs. For an example, see: https://github.com/amark/gun/wiki/auth
For me, the main use of such hardware is to allow running multiple non-lightweight VMs locally.

It would be convenient if I could run machine learning tasks locally, but that's limited to very small models (since it doesn't have an nvidia GPU and AMD hasn't yet done their homework to ensure that common software packages work), so those tasks need a remote server anyway.
I suppose the difference is you'd normally use a debugger to find out why the code isn't doing what it's supposed to, rather than using it to find out what the code is supposed to be doing in the first place.

I don't consider it abuse either, though.
I think that's orthogonal. You can fall behind just as easily by not addressing technical debt. Consider how easily it is, particularly in the JS world, to accrue multiple different bits of UI written in different frameworks du jour.

Rewriting stuff is very seldom in the business' interest, but stuff gets out of date at a rate controlled by the ecosystem, not the company.
You can get noise cancelling headphones. It's like working at an open office floor plan at a big tech company. Also in California they're no longer allowed to have beer on tap; something about underage drinking (for those outside the U.S., the drinking age is set at 21). I'm surprised this hasn't become an issue in other states that are even more conservative.
It's really sad how little we are taught about the opium wars. It is easily the most important war in the last 500 years. The wealth that was taken from china as a result of the opium wars provided capital to britain and the US to fund our industrial revolution. It altered the course of history.

One of the largest banks in the world ( HSBC ) was created in hong kong to launder opium money from china. FDR's grandfather was Warren Delano, one of the largest opium dealers in china. The opium money is what funded our institution building in the 1800s. The universities, museums, hospitals, etc were built with money from our opium dealers in china.

http://www.wbur.org/commonhealth/2017/07/31/opium-boston-his...

It is odd how much time we spend on ww1 and ww2 when neither war altered the balance of power. The opium wars ended the "faux parity" that existed between china and the west and it catapulted the anglosphere to the top.

We live in an anglo world ( formerly british led but now US led ) because of the opium wars.
Most of the scientists I know do both: interactive work to prove the idea or for moderate sized data sets, and the cluster for when they have stable code and a huge amount of data. Since the capacity of a laptop has steadily increased, the relative ratios have shifted over the years.
I'm never thinking about buying anything that I see in an ad. I don't own much more in life other than some books, my computers, and a few clothes. I prefer to take my own initiative on what I buy, and the less I buy, the better.
I didn't mean to degrade or single out bus drivers. I tried to pick a normal blue collar job. I don't think there's anything wrong, and a lot right, in people just doing a great job with the job they have, whatever it is. I don't really know how to compare:

* getting people to work

* keeping the web pages for N businesses all up and running

...but I do know that if it doesn't feel like enough, there are lots of organizations that need volunteers and donations, often both.

Interesting results. Though I wonder to what extent some of them reflect the outside world. (Not reality. Just what people outside youtube focus on.)

The Clintons have been the subject of conspiracy theories since the 90s at least. So, it's not surprising that this would extend on to Youtube.

(I haven't made an extensive study of this, but my impression is that the American right wing is prone to conspiracies about people or events, whereas the left wing is prone to conspiracies about institutions.)

The article also mentions Trump speeches were more recommended. There's an innocent recommendation: people find Trump more engaging. Of the two candidates, Clinton was far less charismatic - she even admitted she wasn't a natural like Bill Clinton was. So, it's not exactly surprising that Trump was more recommended and more watched.

This isn't to take away from the broader thesis. The recommendation algorithm is certainly worthy of study. And the fact that the algorithm quickly moves from normal to polarizing is disconcerting.

But, it does seem as though the recommendation algorithm to some extent mirrors what we see in talk radio and other media segments in America.

I had a lot of trouble implementing social logins the other day so it's not completely painless either.

For example if you have multiple social logins, what do you do if the user forgets which account(e.g., google or facebook) they used?

You could just let them login with any as long as the email matches. But then what if you have a social login type that doesn't require verified email? For example let's say you add an imgur login but the user doesn't have an already have an account there. Then an attacker can just create the imgur account with that unverified email and then use that to log into the same email on your site.

There's also a bunch of edge cases with handling users who use different emails for different social accounts so you can't assume one-to-one correspondence between email address and users anymore.

And there's a bunch of other issues with how to initialize a good default display name from these different social profiles. And also the issue with how to handle if they unlink all their social login methods. And how/who to send reset password. And so on and so forth.

In the end this was all too hard and I gave up and only allowed logging in with google and google only. Which kind of sucks.
All data is _always_ realtime with a very simple integration.

Integrating into SPA/Angular/React is so easy that you don't even need to tell it a page or event has changed!
Simply adding the Javascript tagging anywhere on your site allows the analytics engine to detect if a SPA page has changed routes and it will then fire relevant events.

Other than the standard GA functionalities, you can also assign events to login/join pages to associate anonymous visitors as _people_ and then know which actions particular individuals are doing later.

All Javascript errors are logged with a full stacktrace where applicable so that you can immediately see if anyone on a particular platform/useragent is experiencing errors on one of your pages (happens more than you think!).

Other than that, there are many additional hidden features that you should find out for yourself ;)

You'd like it if you tried it!
I ate that site up when I was young. I was 12 in 1996, and by that time had already decided on a career in robotics. All the little tech projects there kept me engaged. I built a Tesla Coil after the site inspired me, and today I work in robotics in Silicon Valley.

I’m struck now with how much power one site has to engage and help so many people. I hope that I can share enough of my own goofy hobbies [1] to help a new generation learn what inspires them.

> When you edit videos you SHOULD transcode your videos into a format that actually uses one image per frame (DNxHD or PreRes (On Mac)) and than then deliver it back into a compressed format like H.264.

Yes, you should transcode your videos to an intra-frame codec (i use ProRes at 540p). But (and this is important), this is only a proxy format. When you export your creation the video editor should automatically use the original files for rendering. Premiere this very well nowadays[1].

My .io (finn.io if you want to look it up) says:

Owner Addr : Obfuscated whois Gandi-63-65 boulevard Massena

and my full name. Seems obfuscated enough, especially since the name was not remotely validated.
I would go with .io and .ai is not bad neither

The Murder That Never Was (1991)
I wonder if per-core performance is impacted if every core is being blasted. I imagine most benchmarks do single-core runs by running one process of work, and do multi-core runs by maxing out the cores and then totaling the performance. Do any benchmarks max out the cores, but only report the performance of one process of work?
But I think he's asking for a baseline, a rough estimate, after which you might want to start asking questions if the worker hasn't reached productivity.

IMO your latter example is something very wrong - either on the employee's side (they are lazy and not doing anything) or management who hired too many employees and as a result those new people have nothing to do - either way, heads should be rolling somewhere.
I think the disconnect is believing it has to be insightful. There's a large area there where you can work within to make a comment more signal than noise. Just explaining why you agree is usually sufficient.

Some forums are perfectly fine without a distinction of contribution, such as reddit. Others, such as here, have a culture that tries to promote more substantive comments. Neither is better than the other, but both excel at specific things. If I want reddit style comments (and I do, often), I'll visit reddit. If I want HN style comments, I visit HN. Forcing redditors to be more serious or HN users to be less serious doesnt serve either community well, and would likely cause both to be similar and mediocre compared to what they were before.

The whole point is that this is a place where someone can dive deep on the differences in etiquette and culture between reddit and HN and not worry too much about being called out for being too serious or cramping other people's good time, because some people find a discussion like that a good time even if they also like 10+ comment chains of jokes and crowd sourced movie quotes at other times.

For that reason, I don't really expect you to get downvoted. You explained and justified your position, which I find is usually all most people here really expect as a minimum.
Like all other tokens, bitcoin (and also any of its lookalikes) has no intrinsic value at all. It is worth whatever somebody is willing to pay you for it.

I am very inclined to call it a Ponzi-style scam, however I have to recognize that as long as there is still currently 'belief in bitcoin', there will actually be somebody who is willing to pay.
