>Housing is in many places (mostly successful cities) the economic disaster. Fully exposed to financialization, business cycles, inflation prone. Rather than signalling to supply, prices adjust to whatever the median person can afford to pay

Why should housing not be to governed by market forces? Housing shortages are due to regulations, from limiting new development outright, to limiting high density buildings, to heavy rent control (disincentivizing investment and maintenance), to regulations that just make housing investment expensive. Reasonable regulations should be the guideline, but they aren't. The most aggregious local example is San Francisco.

Soviet housing never worked. More to the point the wait lists for apartments was measured in years (ripe for corruption). The buildings were shoddy and depressing (hope you like grey). Urban planning was haphazard and may or not may have corresponded to where people actually wanted to live.
The TVs that are sold with huge discounts that everyone kills themself trying to get on Black Friday are the cheap in-house brands that will probably crap out in a couple years.

> (The caveat is that some ISP's do transparent DNS proxying.. in which case, you have much larger trust issues with your ISP and need to take greater measures!)

I once had an ISP which did transparent http proxying. You could theoretically query an external DNS server and get back the correct result, but it would intercept your http connection, discard the ip address you were trying to connect to then do a new DNS lookup to the ISP's DNS server on the HOST header.

Took me ages to work out what was going on with the various issues it was causing.

I dumped that ISP like a rock after they refused to disable that caching proxy, which they claimed was only there to improve customer experience.
Not sure if this is common with the higher end TV's, but with the more budget brands sold in supermarkets, it's not uncommon to find an otherwise identical model in multiple stores, but with slightly dithering model numbers, or in some cases, complete rebrand (box and badge).
Well, at least they got a reaction from the audience. It would make a good The Onion headline: Classical Music Audience Responds with Something Beyond Polite Applause.
How feasible is it that companies like Turo can route around this issue by offering things other than cars to rent/lease from their owners? Like, if that F150 came with a bunch of shovels for schlepping soil, for example ... or if the Tesla came with a tour guide in the passenger seat?

Wouldn't that make the whole "a duck by any other name" more of a "well, its a platypus really" kind of issue?

Or are there regulations which preclude this kind of bundling of services?
For a completely private airport that builds its own road and transit infrastructure, sure. Most real airports have massive public investment and infrastructure and enjoy a strong local monopoly - with the specific purpose of acting like a public transportation hub.

Therefore, any charge that moves from services provided, on a needs basis, to an indiscriminate tax, on a per person basis, can be seen as onerous in light of the public investment.
I've had several ISPs in different countries that do horrible things. Not using NXDomain is one, but I've had some that return NXdomain when they shouldn't, then cache that result!

The idea is solid on the surface, but I don't trust it's parent. Setting up hundreds of millions of internet machines to be reliant on a single corporation's service offerings is asking for disaster, and Cloudflare has a sleeeeaazy history.

Woah! That's pretty good. Mine was on Belong NBN in Brisbane.
To be a great joke, it has to be delivered to the right audience.

How can a website detect thumbprint?
Awhile back I signed up for a free service.

Because it's free, for obvious reasons they put a cap of one account per person. I tried to evade this by doing the following:

--Anonymous proxy

--new browser (Firefox instead of chrome)

--cleared out cookies

yet somehow they were able to detect I already registered

But shortly after registering on new computer and different ISP worked.

How would this have been possible? People just assume that changing IPs and deleting cookies eliminates all traces, but somehow this website was able to still know. Is there a type of stealth malware that embeds itself into your system or something when you view certain websites and thus permanently marks your system.

The final test would be to reformat the system, use new ISP, new IP, etc and see if it works

There's also a national planning framework in the UK which dictates housing numbers, etc. Although councils are free to build houses in undesirable parts of their patch, and block development in the wealthy parts.
Yeah this is a random string of characters so it can't be that.. Also my logs show it getting queried by automated tools within a few weeks of being live, so I suspect it's due to someone's else's suggestion that a DNS resolver somewhere is caching and sharing request data for "research" or other reasons.
> Spring uses a lot of reflection. It makes it very slow. The startup time of Spring applications tends to be around 20-30 secs. If you add Hibernate to the mix the situation becomes even worse.

The load time of Spring apps is dominated by the number of classes loaded from disk, which is a function of the libraries pulled in. This is because the JVM loads classes out of JARs more or less linearly.

Think about it for a second: which is faster, in-memory operations (reflection) or I/O (loading classes from disk)?

Dave Syer has done more actual empirical investigation[0] of Spring's launchtime behaviour than anyone. If you can produce better evidence of actual behaviour, I'll be very surprised.

A few thousand? What's the rationale behind that number?
That makes no sense. Labour shortage is a real thing.

80 wpm and still a limiting factor in programming? That would be pure genius, I think...
This seems like the most likely candidate then (a resolver that caches and shares requests or CT - which I didn't know about), because the subdomain is a random string of characters so it wouldn't have been brute-forced.

Thank you for the insights!
I think this is your personal preference. Perhaps you've suffered poor recordings? I've found a good book, when read by a proficient voice to a well produced recording - is still a good book.

Early literature was all based on rote learning and spoken tongue. We still have some of those works left from preliterate times. Socrates, Homer, etc. Although, 'pre-literate' literature does sound a bit self contradicting.
I grew up on games that had no monetization strategy beyond an initial investment. Many popular and hugely influential online games -- TF/TFC, the original Counterstrike -- were mods made by hobbyists and released for free, with the blessing of the original game's developers[1]. Gamers self-organized to create an infrastructure of public servers.

Pay to win games just moved the Overton window so far that these days, paying for cosmetic items doesn't seem like a big deal. I'm not angry about any of this; with ever decreasing time left for playing games I don't really care. Obscene may be a bit harsh -- I recycled it from the grandparent; but it does also imply that the judgment is relative and based on taste more than anything. I'd also use it when saying that I use an obscene amount of salt or that a sweater is an obscene color without intending to downplay affairs of state.

I have two now, best mattress I've ever owned, and several coworkers have them now too. Yet I am sure they are all made in the same factory as the rest in China. Zinus has expanded into related products like frames as well so I am sure its mostly marketing over manufacturing in China. Yet I've know people who spent $4000 on a Tempur-Pedic and didn't like it much. I'd rather spend $200 and not like it than $4000. At least with things sold on Amazon you can read 1000's of reviews which are unlikely to be all fake which at least gives you an idea of what people think, unlike buying a mattress in a store where the only opinion you get is the salesperson's.
I've heard multiple origin stories -- one is the issue linked in the article. Another was that Dave Syer worked on a Rails project briefly and thought "oh, this isn't so bad".

Spring is a team of fairly smart individuals who tinker with experimental stuff all the time, so I would not at all be surprised if Dropwizard didn't figure amongst the inspirations. And they do keep up with what other folks are doing, so good ideas tend to be adopted into Spring pretty frequently.

Good thing when rent-seekers are countered. It doesn't happen enough.
>>>In one incident, the Carlsbad Army Airfield Auxiliary Air Base (32°15′39″N 104°13′45″W) near Carlsbad, New Mexico, was set on fire on May 15, 1943, when armed bats were accidentally released. The bats roosted under a fuel tank and incinerated the test range.

That is one perspective. My kids played Skylanders and Disney Infinity when they were younger. Those games both had elements of shooting projectiles at enemies to eliminate them.

Fortnite is rated T and not M because there isn't realistic violence. When a player is eliminated a small flying object with an antenna shows up and it looks like they are teleported elsewhere. There is no blood or corpse or anything like that. It is not extremely violent enough to get an M rating like Grand Theft Auto or Call Of Duty.

There are very unrealistic elements of the game, like a grenade launcher that shoots large eggs (or snowballs in winter season), the fact that you can rapidly build forts out of mined materials, and a boogie bomb that when thrown at an enemy makes them dance for 3-5 seconds.

That's your lack of imagination speaking. Heck, before you posted this comment someone already posted a practical example [1].

Personally, I'd look at robots (including drones) taking over manual labour and risky labour. An example would be cleaning windows on a skyscraper, or delving in mines. But we could also look for applications in nature. How about pollination, for example? (That example also fits the manual labour definition albeit for animals.)

If the established players promote regulation which make it harder for new entrants to gain a foothold, that's cartel-like behavior and it hurts consumers. In general, regulations should promote competition because competition results in better products and services.

The examples you list are all businesses that I wouldn't want to disappear. The problem with these businesses is that software-driven industries have monopoly characteristics, which among other things lead to the concentration of wealth you mention. Consumers would be better off if we had five Ebays or five Ubers or five AirBnBs, but for a variety of reasons this is currently unlikely--the weaponization of patent law, the high up front costs of developing new software, etc.

Patent reform is a relatively straightforward area where better regulations could promote competition within software-driven industries. A more controversial approach (at least in the US, but the EU had no problem with doing this to Microsoft) is compulsory licensing of intellectual property when monopolies have abused their position. If the ultimate goal is to reduce wealth concentration and ownership, we might also consider making it easier for firms to IPO again.
In related news, the academic publishing problem is still unsolved. There is no standard model to fund the resource intensive process of peer review in the open access journals and their role as a gatekeeper for scientific relevance, advancement and funding.

Generally civil engineering projects fail for three reasons, incorrect or substituted materials, or incorrect or poor installation practices, or poor or fraudulent inspections of those. Rarely does something fail due to poor engineering these days. Sometimes it is hard to identify the exact cause after a failure since the failure may obliterate the cause.

My isp got the brilliant idea of rolling their own YouTube cache servers. It's great in theory but in or active they're under powered and so at peak hours I can't even stream 240p on my 500mbits connection. I've had to block their cache servers in my firewall for YouTube to be butter smooth at 1080p consistently.

Another example is bell Canada who used to mine your DNS queries to profile you for ads, or ISPs that high jack the nxdomain result to send you sponsored results of vaguely similar sounding websites.

This gets confused right off the bat between file size and mapped size. The whole "strip" nonsense could have been skipped if the author looked at .text/.data/.rodata (and .bss too -- often the resource you're trying to conserve is RAM and not storage!) sizes instead.

Likewise the playing with upx isn't really relevant to a rust article per se. That's a generic executable compressor that will work with anything.

But some stuff here was really interesting. I honestly had no idea that rust was statically linking its own heap implementation into every binary it created! Come on, guys, jemalloc isn't even in rust and doesn't benefit from static linkage. If you're going to distribute your own runtime (and if you're using your own heap, you're distributing your own runtime!) at least distribute it in a shared-by-default way.

Never had the hard sell, tbh, but I find the standard £1,000 excess a bit too much of a risk. Having rented a dozen or so times my only damage, thus far, has been a scratch on the door which, likely, only cost £100 to fix?

In theory then, I'd be better off taking the bigger risk but there is also Murphy's law to consider.

Maybe I have been lucky but I've found them to be much better than the alternatives and a lot more laid back about stuff like fuel levels and return times.
FWIW, the Spring team fairly emphatically advise against anything but constructor injection[0], to the point that a major feature of Spring Framework 5 was to rework the code to be exclusively constructor injected[1].

I find the number for xargo, without stripping or UPX to be by far the most interesting. It almost gets you all the way (1/6th of the default release size), while not breaking anything.

Stripping removes useful things from your binary, and UPX tends to be a no-go for many things.
It's great to think about what you can do personally, but actually the NSF/congress did create this problem by choosing the financial structure for science in the US in the 40s-50s. That was done centrally and was not an organic extension of how science was previously funded. Many possible alternatives such as direct student funding like they do in Canada (advisors who are advisors not feudal lords), are imaginable. The best fit depends a lot on field. For example I'd say medical research is some of the most-marketable, and most medicine faculty choose academia for the right reasons.

Unfortunately in my benighted corner of science things are going the wrong way. The NSF actually just created a master's program for managing a sort of scientific software development for which there is no market. It did this because saying scientists care about education and commercialization "sounds good" on a grant proposal. This will do nothing but waste 50million, and 40 highly skilled human years of time. It's laughable to anyone in the field, but such are the incentives at NSF.
> Traditional finance isn't any easier to unwind than bitcoin.

This is one of those cases where the theory and practice don't match. The are two cases: the destination account exists or doesn't. If it doesn't, your bank returns your money minus some handling fees. Your Bitcoin in the same situation is gone to an unused wallet which nobody can access.

If the account is valid: With Bitcoin it's on you to track down who owns your funds now and figure out how to recover it. In case of a bank though you raise an issue with them and start the process - either internal or across banks. It allows the person receiving the money to approve a quick reveal, or allows you to start legal action to recover your funds.

At some high, abstract level, these are similar. But in practice, banks make it pretty easy to recover your funds in case of simple mistakes.

We are interested in switching the default back to the system allocator, but since swapping in your own isn't stable yet, it would be a regression to not be able to include jemalloc instead. That work is underway, and when it's stable, we're likely to change the default, for exactly this kind of reason.

In that case, wouldn't the reasonable response to desire for higher density be, you know, demolishing single units to build high density housing?

Often, that isn't possible due to zoning in these 'unrestricted' cities. Zoning tends to be really restrictive, up to the point of placing tight limits on the density of dwellings.

We've been talking about "unforking xargo", and treating libstd/etc more like any other crate, which would mean that you could do this in a more easy way. It's gonna take some time though.

For most of my life I wouldn't have seen it this way, but the HN community is sensitive to equal representation of the sexes in STEM fields. This story had only men in it. Does this story not illustrate sexism in the criminal justice system hurting men? All the more that people don't immediately call out the unequal representation of the sexes in every part of the criminal justice system: 100:0 in this story, something like 99:1 in many other parts?

I know there are calls to change the justice system, such as from the Innocence Project, which I support and recommend supporting, but nowhere near the level for working on areas of society that hurt women more.

I'm not suggesting putting more women on death row, but shouldn't there be some effort to approach equality in arrests, convictions, sentencing, and other elements of justice? More importantly on the burdens and social obligations we choose for our society to place on men as opposed to women? If you believe men are simply more criminal than women, do you only believe criminality is the only difference, that men are just worse than women and 100:0 is appropriate, or would you also expect other differences too?
