Ask HN: Anyone left H1/L1 to move to other countries? How did it work out?

Anyone previously working in the U.S on H1/L1 etc - did you move to other countries? Where, and how did it work out?
They made a way to take any sentence, and output a small array of numbers that represent its essence. You can use their model to find the essence of your own sentences. And then use it either directly (e.g. compare the essence of two sentences to see if they're saying roughly the same thing) or use it as a starting point for the model you need (e.g. if you're building a system to convert English sentences into French, your neural network might generate the essence of the English sentence as part of its work. By using the pre-trained model, you have a better starting point for that part of the network than just random numbers, so your training time will be greatly reduced).

For me, the turn off was that any ipv6 connection on Linux was ALWAYS slow as hell to resolve, often leading to timeouts. Tore my hair out for ages, only to discover after much frustration and searching online that the solution was as simple as disabling the kernel's ipv6 module.

With ipv4, never had a problem.

They have an algorithm that takes sentences in textual form and produces a different representation of each sentence that (they claim) is easier for certain language-oriented machine learning tasks to work with. Previous work focused on producing that different representation at the word level, but theirs works on complete sentences.

Interesting. There's a big need for better vector representations of things in-between words (for which Word2Vec/Glove/FastText work well) and documents (which to me seems impossible. Yes I know about Doc2Vec etc, but really.. it works ok for paragraphs).

Facebook's InferSent[1] has worked reasonably well for me for a variety of sentence level tasks, but I don't have anything I can point to to say that it is really substantially better than averaging word embeddings.

More options is good.

Given how incredibly intuitive Apple products are, I find it hard to believe that they develop products without market testing. It might be a secret to the public but I am almost certain you can't nail UI so perfectly without undergoing some user testing. All the users/testers/vendors have all probably signed an NDA and value the partnership with Apple enough to not disclose anything.

> On the other hand consistency on random writes to files is not something absolutely necessary.

This stuff does matter; because most applications aren't distributed systems. Using file system operations in the way they were intended to be used shouldn't sometimes accidentally corrupt files by default. Look again at the table in the article showing consistency bugs in application code. They even found bugs in sqlite. If not even sqlite does this stuff correctly, mortals have no hope.

And distributed systems themselves depend on the guarantees provided by filesystems for correctness. The guarantees filesystems provide are poorly documented, poorly understood and inconsistently implemented across filesystems and operating systems. Take some time to read about what redis, postgres and sqlite do to correctly write files - its an awful morass.

At a minimum we should have a standard atomic write primitive that does all the stuff listed at the top of that article. I don't really care how slow it is - atomic writes are what everyone expects write() to actually do. Atomic write shouldn't be poorly reimplemented by every text editor and configuration tool. Video games shouldn't need to ask players not to switch off their consoles while they're saving. (What an absolute embarrassment.)

If filesystems want to compete on performance, compete on the performance of atomic append. Right now any atomic append implementation in userland is both complicated and dog slow. With help from kernel-level filesystem code, we can do way better on both counts.

Then for high performance applications (databases, etc) the OS should expose either fence() operations or some sort of durable write order. Thats the API databases will actually use. For extra credit I would also like a write API that notified me when my data has been durably synced to disk. A kqueue event would be perfect.

And once we have those APIs I have no idea when anyone would use the current write/fsync implementation. Its a huge foot-gun. Its what you would get if mongodb made a filesystem API.
What irked me about IPv6 was extension headers. At first they sound like a great idea. It is very flexible to chain headers. However, hardware engineers hate them, because the number of IPv6 extension headers is potentially unbounded, leading to all kinds of "interesting" corner cases in networking hardware. So they end up not being supported in hardware, which means the either don't work at all, or they kick into a slow firmware exception path. I would not be surprised if there is eventually a DOS attack against IPv6 enabled gear using extension headers.
This is not true, at least a$10 and $50 Chianti is very easy to taste the difference since the more expensive is stored longer and much 'easier' to drink.

I'm not sure about a $50 and a $150.
Another obscure-ish tea that is seems to be gaining popularity is guayusa (mostly being pushed under the brand Runa). It is another holly from warm regions, I think from rainforests in South America.

It is amazing as a summer/warm weather high-caffeine iced tea. You can buy in loose tea form by the pound from Amazon for about $20.

It's breathtaking isn't it? Facebook sells personal information to advertisers. And this employee worries there might be 'smart people who lack a moral compass' working there? It would be funny if it wasn't also terrifying that Facebook employees believe the company is a force for good in the world. Working for Facebook is about as moral as working for Big Tobacco: there's plenty of evidence the product is actively harmful.

This used to be the case and might still be compared to most other products, but that value keeps diminishing more and more.

I would certainly welcome an increased focus on "it just works" again as opposed to "it looks flashy". I enjoy using Apple products a lot for various reasons but it became hard to overlook some issues, especially when it comes to software.
>> Likewise, you can't simultaneously hold the opinion that users should have control over where their content is seen, and that it's OK to publish and comment on an internal post.

This argument is illogical, because Facebook forces everyone to sign its ToS to use its services, while nobody forces a Facebook employee to leak internal stuff. Said another way, whether or not I wish to have control over my FB data, FB coerces me to agree that it can do whatever it wants with my data. Its not exactly opt-in, is it? Its far worse, of course, if you consider shadow profiles, because it is even coercing people who didn't even explicitly sign up to the ToS. Unless the leak happened via some kind of coercion (which doesn't seem to be the case), your comment is incorrect.

>> In a less spiteful world, some of the employees' reactions might have been taken as evidence that they do understand and care about issues of privacy or containment.

What? You mean you care about something, but you just won't do something about it, nor openly tell anyone why you wouldn't do something about it, or even talk about it before the issue blows up? Yep, totally convincing.

>> Maybe that would lead to more collaboration on solutions,

Why do people need to "collaborate" on solutions? What do they get from it? Is Facebook going to pay people a share of the profits? If Facebook is a corporate entity which serves its self-interest against people's self-interest (which they have clearly been doing for a long time), what kind of idiot would suggest the people whose self-interest has been affected should now "come to the table" so "we can all work something out"?

>> which is necessary because there are actually some tricky tradeoffs here.

The only tricky tradeoff here is: should Mark Zuckerberg be the only one who should go to jail, or should the entire company be rounded up? It is quite tricky, I do agree.

>> But that doesn't give the same dopamine hit as cutting down the tall poppies, right?

I don't know about tall poppies, but "culling" the "weeds" is the only way to have a healthy garden.
Hi HN, it's humbling to be here alongside so many great tools!

I made this project in my spare time and wondering if you see any value in something like this (if at all!). Feedback welcome!
i've driven an old car which had power assisted steering that would occasionally fail while the car was being driven. you could still turn the wheel, it just suddenly required a lot more effort.

i suggest this thing is mainly going to be a problem where the power-assist fails during a trip at some unpredictable and unfortunate moment. driving where you know you won't have power-assist for the entire trip would be far safer.

This is a sad truth. It happened to me as well (in Italy). With ipv6 enabled on Telecom Italia, the country's largest ISP, I keep experiencing random and strange errors and failures. I don't know if I should blame my modem-router (but I tried two distinct devices from different brands), my OS (but it happens both on Linux and MacOS), some configuration, or my ISP, and I don't have the time or the will to investigate.

On the contrary, ipv6 is enabled on my public server and works fine.

These people are great - I have ordered a bunch of yaupon from them, both light and dark. The light roast is more of a green tea flavor, while the dark roast is closer to a black tea or even coffee. The best part about yaupon is the buzz, though. It's a strong boost like coffee but without the jitters and crash that coffee can cause. It's a more lucid, feel-good stimulant with a flavor that's hard to describe. Much less bitter than coffee or even tea, it has an earthy, smokey taste that resembles yerba mate a little bit but resists easy classification. Highly recommended.
I agree in general but web apps are IMO the weakest argument because while they may have a number of components only the load-balancer should be public — those hundreds of microservices shouldn’t be exposed to the public or other customers at the same data center anyway.

I’d generally focus on the cost of losing P2P and the continuing rise in the number of devices the average person uses.

That's a fair comment. I hadn't considered that perspective.

I'm aware of several TLDs that require evidence of residency/trade within the geographic region for the purpose of registration, but I don't think any of them require it in perpetuity for renewals; it's this that seems problematic to me. In principle, URLs are based on a degree of immutability: saying that a domain name must change when circumstances change seems at odds with the architectural fundamentals of the web, in which case I question the value of establishing a .eu domain at all.

Fellow German here. I know this issues. But I think the Bayerns strategy worked. They subsidied all the fiber from Telekom, and now we have in the south of Bayern incredible internet speeds at acceptable price : 110Mbit/35Mbit for about 40 euros. I can double that for extra 10 euros.

LTE is everywhere and in my home town I get 20Mbs/5Mbs rates over Vodafone. There is only one place, literally in the middle of a dense forest ( part of a Wandertour ) where there is no signal at all. The highways are well covered, I normally skype and other VoIP apps work flawless.

So while we are talking about Germany, let's not forget this is a federal state and each state can individually influence the development. Not sure if USA is the same.
Wine, at least to me and more with some grapes then others, tastes much better if stored for a few years in barrels. This is expensive and drives up the price a bit. But it is not the only thing that fine up the price so just because the price is higher doesn't mean it will be better.

DRAM and NAND shortages aren't new - the current supply problems started in 2016 and got progressively worse throughout 2017. The smartphone market is to blame - or rather, its consumers who upgrade/replace their phone every damn year. Apple alone drains the entire supply chain every time they ramp up for the next iPhone; add to that all the Android manufacturers, and there's just nothing left for desktop.

If more people kept their phones for 2-4 years instead of expecting an upgrade every 9-12 months, we wouldn't have this problem.
