Citizen, the Japanese watches maker, offered a passive (without batteries) "enhancer" for their AT series, IIRC was a ferrite block where to put the watch, I think I've seen a photo.

Or one can use a PC to transmit the DCF77 signal locally (it could be illegal) to a clock using a pair of headphones, I've seen at least a couple of examples but never tried them.

Are you being intentionally obtuse?

No, but you are being intentionally insulting in violation of HN guidelines and also moving the goal posts. I already stated above my diagnosis appears to be no barrier whatsoever to getting romantically involved with someone. Except from my end, as I have chosen to be celibate for medical reasons for a lot of years.

I am 100 percent okay with someone like me being able to screen out carriers. Because I have CF, it is entirely up to the father's genetic contribution as to the outcome. I am also 100 percent okay with having some means to have a potentially awkward conversation up front.

There are, in fact, worse things in life than sleeping alone.

“The enterprising ones also actively work to get Uber/Lyft out of the process by offering their number directly.”

I do airport runs. A few have given me their card. At first I thought this was cool as they charged $25 instead of $30. But then the driver was unavailable a few times. Managing different cards with a hierarchy of backups is a pain for users.

I switched back to Uber. Interestingly the last one I used charged $35 which was more than Uber. I was already in the car so I paid.

People underestimate the service Uber makes in managing riders and drivers. I don’t want to “have a guy” who’s not dependable. Perhaps one day, I can afford a full time valet and driver. That day is not near.

Around the time of the Snowden revelations there was a lot of chat about the west's efforts to further their interests with sockpuppets and paid trolls, but this conversation vanished, as usual. The sockpuppetry isn't exclusive to Russia[1-4], every country's goal is to further their own interests through propaganda. Nevermind the numerous aggressive intelligence and military operations to further US interests by outright placing figureheads in power.

It's in Russia's interest to destabilize and they accomplish this, if you could call their operations successful, by preying on westerners who trust media and take everything they read as fact. It's worth noting that they play both sides the aisle, so to speak, but the emphasis of these articles is the Trump victory in the election.

Ultimately though, the subtext here is blaming Russian sockpuppets for turning the tide and deciding the fate of the election, and it reeks of sour grapes.

Amazon may not consider it an issue - yet, but if they don't before it make critical mass, it could seriously damage them.

As a fairly heavy Amazon customer for both home & biz, I was getting to the point where Amazon was just the default buying location, but now there are entire categories of stuff that are such a PITA to find a valid offering that Amazon is just about off my list.

Amazon recently keeps showing me a popup about a Biz account for some benefits, and while I probably would have jumped at it 2 years ago, I just haven't bothered now.

Yes, it's mere anecdote, but I'm seeing many complaints of the same. This is the kind of problem that doesn't show up in the numbers early, and by the time it shows up in the numbers to get Mgt's attention, it may be too late, because the reputational damage has been done.

I am probably showing my anti-florida bias here. But if you google "jacaranda lakes gated community", real estate in Florida and other parts of the US southeast creep me out. In a civil society that is functioning properly it should not be necessary for people in the top 15% income earning bracket to isolate themselves off in burbclave-like gated communities (proto-snow-crash style). I have seen this also in Charleston, SC where as a random caucasian, real estate agents warned me away from even thinking about trying to live in certain parts of the city.

Seattle might have some expensive and exclusive areas but it is not like anyone has erected walls and gates around upper queen anne, magnolia, or alaska junction in west seattle.
Ask HN: What is the best way to archive a webpage
I am working with some peers who have a website that links to and catalogs a number of resources (think blog posts).

It would be ideal for the administrators to be able to archive or have a copy of that web page on their server in case of the original post being deleted, links moving, servers being down etc.

Currently they are using http://archive.is to implement a half solution to this intent. It does not work for some websites and ideally they could host their own archived copy.

What are easy solutions to do this?

With Python I was thinking requests - but this would just grab the HTML and not images, or content generated by javascript.

Thinking Selenium, you could take a screenshot of the content - not the most user friendly to read.

What are some other solutions?
I'm getting rather ridiculous myself at this stage but THEORETICALLY, if the hashes were all done including a long enough salt that was stored independently of the hashes then I believe there would be genuine significant security improvement to hashing.

Getting even more exotic, if the salt were also ENORMOUS, then it could make computing the required ~350 million hashes rather a costly endeavour (even in the event that the salt was obtained together with the hashed challenges).

Anyway.
>(Not only that, but there's no other strategy that will make you money faster.)

That's not true. If you bet 99% of your money each time then there's still no probability that you go bankrupt (it's literally impossible to go bankrupt unless you bet all your money), and you make money much faster.

Perhaps we could add in a lower bound, like you have to stop betting if you have less than $1. But then it's possible to go bankrupt even if you use the Kelly criterion. Furthermore we've introduced a fixed quantity into the problem, which means there's no longer any justification for saying that your bet should be the same proportion of your wealth every turn.

I've never yet seen a convincing argument for Kelly betting aside from the when utility is logarithmic.

I love this brain teaser. If you want to make it even more weird, consider that the second plant is communicating it's phase back to the first one! Paradox!

But the answer is contained in the parent comment. Each plant generates more power if the phase lags and produces less if the phase leads. Basically, electricity consumers drag on the phase and the plants use this to control output power, so that the phase matching can be done purely locally.

But it is a lot simpler if you use high voltage DC! If you do that you can connect networks with entirely different phases!

I've been living in Florida for 6 years now. The only thing that bothers me here is the hurricane season.
Nope! They're connected in triangles all the time. I was stuck on this phase synchronization for a while, but really it's just the local phase lead or lag that is required.

Think of the phase as a distributed signal that indicates the current state of the local system taking into account all connected generators. It's weird but true!
Additional anecdata: The sensors and controls in distribution substations are also DC although 48VDC is considered the low end in those places where it goes up to over 200V, according to the engineer from a municipal electric company met in an $OFFICE meeting Monday. The guy said they specify flooded lead acids and plan on them lasting 15 years before pre-planned change-outs.

I wonder if having the entire world on exactly the same time is a better option? No zones, no daylight savings. 12pm is 12pm in London, Singapore, and South Africa, year-round. It would be odd going to bed at 2pm but we'd get used to it.

I'd also suggest decimal time but that's been tried and failed. Probably universal time would, as well.

Yes, they combined a couple of accounts (that all belonged to me) with an email or two (and some validation, IIRC).
Well, you could just replace "pretty fucking easy" with "very easy", and then you'd have even more brevity and the same clarity, but without the extra distraction.

If you use expletives all the time, they lose their value, which is the ability to make a very strong point, such as expressing utter disgust.

Also, HN tries to be more than just your average internet message board, and making it just a little less informal may be what helps keep it a generally civil place. Our comments are going out to the whole world here, not just to a small group of our friends who have similar backgrounds and preferences.

This has not been new knowledge for several thousand years, at least. Marcus Aurelius, from the Meditations:

"Men seek retreats for themselves, houses in the country, sea-shores, and mountains; and thou too art wont to desire such things very much. But this is altogether a mark of the most common sort of men, for it is in thy power whenever thou shalt choose to retire into thyself. For nowhere either with more quiet or more freedom from trouble does a man retire than into his own soul, particularly when he has within him such thoughts that by looking into them he is immediately in perfect tranquility; and I affirm that tranquility is nothing else than the good ordering of the mind. Constantly then give to thyself this retreat, and renew thyself; and let thy principles be brief and fundamental, which, as soon as thou shalt recur to them, will be sufficient to cleanse the soul completely, and to send thee back free from all discontent with the things to which thou returnest."

But Marcus was no loner, and neither are the people who are able to use isolation healthily, for the most part. We should neither over- nor under-emphasize "the things to which thou returnest."
This. What you're describing is freedom from needing to have people around.

I've found that as I spend far less time with people, I am much more attentive, patient and kind when I do spend time with them, especially when it's with people I choose to be around.

I get time to reflect on things too, because there's enough space in-between to go 'oh, I was starting to get agitated when this happened, that's interesting'.

With strangers, it's a different vibe too, because it's fun to see what they'll do. I don't have a perpetual self-defense shield up, because I'm not emotionally destabilized from over-stimulation - from interactions I'm forced to be in.

So yeah, it's great to be able to choose :)

Like many here, I keep it described in ansible and documentation inside a git repository.

But I feel like it's lacking. After a while you have so many ansible playbooks and roles that they cannot give you a birds-eye view anymore.

THAT, I could show to a newcomer and he'd get it.

I had to take 2 semesters of Chemistry in college. The first semester I took honors chemistry, and the labs were done all individually. I learned I'm terrible at it.

The second semester I took non-honors Chemistry where the labs were done in groups. I said "I will do all of the lab write-ups if I never have to touch a beaker." My lab partners were more than happy with that arrangement and I got an A instead of a C on the lab portion of the class...
Well… crippled all the same. At least, it's reason enough for me to instantly lose all interest. I'll find another way.
USACM statement on preserving personal privacy [pdf]
Do you believe that Uber and Lyft would exist if they had to pay what the government has determined to be an eqyivalent minimum wage? Hell, we can't even agree on how much these drivers are actually earning, according to articles like OP, why do people feel that having the government step in and set some arbitrary legal price target is superior to relying on individuals to decide for themselves whether the work is worthwhile?

Do you feel that all of these drivers are unknowingly losing money and that they would be better off without the extra income that they willingly generate?

Indian Point to Yankee Nuclear is 230 km, IP to Niagara Falls is 440, and NF to YN is 500 km. At c (electronic energy propagates slighly slower), 1 km = 4.32' (arcminute) of lag. That means the 'legs' of this triangle have lag of 16, 32, and 36 degrees. That around half a Hz of frequency out of phase, or ~0.9%. By comparison, the 2011 tornado outbreak caused 0.09 Hz deviation.

So there must be some accounting for this propagation error, either as losses, or engineering.

What I suspect (totally not my field) is that the high power interconnects between large generators do have this triangular lag (the incoming lines lag from the plant's reference frame), but they use quadrature boosting or similar to match that particular interconnect.

T&D (transmission & distribution) result in ~6% of the net energy being wasted. I imagine phase lag "feels" like impedance, with the real component acting as resistance.

Also, it's worth noting part of the appeal of HVDC, aside from line reactance and skin effect, is you get to choose your output frequency.

It looks like they are going after the exchanges, see this choice quote:

> A platform that trades securities and operates as an "exchange," as defined by the federal securities laws, must register as a national securities exchange or operate under an exemption from registration, such as the exemption provided for ATSs under SEC Regulation ATS.

And it says that online wallets may qualify if they facilitate trading:

> Some online trading platforms may not meet the definition of an exchange under the federal securities laws, but directly or indirectly offer trading or other services related to digital assets that are securities. For example, some platforms offer digital wallet services (to hold or store digital assets) or transact in digital assets that are securities. These and other services offered by platforms may trigger other registration requirements under the federal securities laws, including broker-dealer, transfer agent, or clearing agency registration, among other things. In addition, a platform that offers digital assets that are securities may be participating in the unregistered offer and sale of securities if those securities are not registered or exempt from registration.
