skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The server "publishes" particular queries as a kind of feed, and the client "subscribes" to some number of these feeds and behind the scenes, a miniature mongodb-like-api (mini-mongo) in local storage gets filled with all the published data you are subscribed to, so both the number of documents needed should be limited, as well as the scope of the query itself, for performance reasons...
Scaling in the sense of:
1) number of simultaneous users maintaining a DDP connection with the server and the beating the db and backend take
2) amount of documents that get shoved down the tubes.

So, the more fundamental issue:
Nothing about meteor's approach allows substituting components from the rest of the javascript ecosystem, other than the view layer, as the server side only speaks DDP, as does the client, etc.

One cannot easily optimize the various routes of the application as it's all just one very tightly coupled SPA with a ddp backend?!

I ended up being able to use an apps existing data, and taking the templates/components and patching in
1)routes and all dynamic data and what not from the server side needed to "dish-up" the template plus some
2) vanilla javascript to post data to server routes that may return either markup + data or simply data that get's patched into the specific place in the dom that needs updating.

This at least provided a basis for further work on individual routes/views etc.
I read your comment as saying that another user's personal growth level falls short of your own and "most of us". Putting someone else down like that isn't ok here, regardless of what they think about a movie.
>"Asking the host carrier nicely via SS7."

Can you elaborate? SS7 is signaling. You can't request a Telecom provider to just start send you all someones calls and texts via SS7.

The SMSC routes an SMS to the IMEI of the phone.
While I agree with you from a technical perspective, Netflix isn't going to be the only one with this particular issue. If you addressed the issue at gmail, you can be sure you've fixed it for all the little leaves.
I like VisiData[1][2] for CSV/TSV data exploration. textql is a good command-line follow-up to run quick direct queries against the data without needing to see visual/spatial structure.

It is actually documented though.
Yes, I use q all the time for slicing and dicing delimited files. The only problem I have with it is that the name can make it a littler harder to find if you don't remember the repo.

Since q will read stdin and write CVS to stdout you can chain several queries on the command line, or use it in series with other with other commands such as cat, grep, sed, etc.

Highly recommended if you like SQL and deal with delimited files.

I tried to get into Windows Phone 8 development back in 2014 but couldn't as every SDK seemed to require Windows 8.
Thanks for your feedback. Really appreciate it. I’m looking into open sourcing some features it in the coming weeks and I’ll post an update on the website when that happens, so just keep checking.
>The US suffered less casualties than all the other major powers (USSR, China, Germany, Poland, Japan, France, Italy, UK) in WW2 and their infrastructure was not destroyed. So kill/death ratio and net destruction are quite indicative of the outcome.

You're moving the goalposts now. Your earlier comment claimed the method for becoming a superpower was to "participate in the most wars and murder the most people." The number of casualties or infrastructure damage relative to the rest of the world shouldn't matter, as that implies a degree of complexity in the nature of superpowers that your prior rationale doesn't allow for.

>Which country would you guess has committed the most large scale invasions and longest lasting wars since world war 2?

You obviously want me to say the US, and you're hedging your bets with the weasel terms "large scale" and "longest lasting" and I really don't care enough about this to go look it up, so fine... the US. But since the US was already a superpower after World War 2, that's not really germane to the US's rise to superpower status.

>Did the Mongols not achieve their super power status because of how successful they were at mass murder?

Maybe, but the point is that the US didn't achieve superpower status through success at mass murder, and that they're not like the Mongols.

Now that is news to me. I know UIDAI has handled the recent data leak from one of its partners horribly (even lodging an FIR against a news reporter). However, does the vulnerability you mention provide access to biometric data? For me personally, that is more of a concern than the metadata (name, address etc).

Can you explain this more? That doesn't really make sense to me. Salmonella is a bacteria. And on a unwashed surface can probably start growing. But gluten? Can't you just wash everything really well? The toaster makes sense to me, but even then, can't you sacrifice a few pieces of gluten free something and turn it on for 5 minutes to burn things off?
My work-around:

1. Create a filter on "To", with correct dotting, with the action being to apply a new tersely-named label e.g. "dot".

2. Color all instances of the new label a greenish shade to signify goodness. Do this by going back to Inbox, hovering over the name of your new label, clicking on the downward triangle, and following the menus from there.

Anything incoming lacking the green label is a suspect.
Some people do get what they'd describe as emotional numbing. Think of it as a decreased range of emotion. Sertraline has a relatively higher incidence of this than other SxRI's
I was on 60mg/day Remeron (mirtazapine) for 9 years but discontinued due to decline in its effects. Tried a bunch of the remaining medications, found trintellix which ups anxiety 5x but addresses depression. Taking hydroxyzine as needed for anxiety now.

During taper symptoms:

- nausea

- general anxiety

After taper symptoms (continue today):

- general anxiety

- strong, brief muscle contractions anywhere in my body (myoclonus)

- weight loss (good)
Almost 50%. Add in the next 10% and you get a majority, but not a huge one.
Probably not dead yet, but in 2018 it makes more sense to use lightweight tools and frameworks that you can easily extend and make your own, and setup microservices.

Vue + Koajs might be good if you want to stick with js, vue/laravel go well together, or vue+(pick one: django, phoenix, rails, flask, sinatra, etc...).

With react native or ionic framework you can easily built mobile apps for ios/android off the same api, so meteor doesn't have a lot of advantages. It was nice for a time, but I think JS is moving in different directions now.
> Can you elaborate? SS7 is signaling. You can't request a Telecom provider to just start send you all someones calls and texts via SS7.

I was simplifying, but how roaming works is that on every call a mobile number from the visited network is assigned to the SIM, and the host network is instructed to send the call there; in the case of an attacker I expect them to be able to use this mechanism to send calls anywhere they want.

They could also most likely fake USSD which is I believe used behind the "Call forwarding" toggle in your phone's settings.

There are plenty of SS7-related demos & presentations posted here on HN, I suggest you use the search and find them, the people making those have much more experience than me in the field and you're better off with then rather than my half-assed explanations, but the point is, call and text interception is possible, among other nasty things (silently tracking a phone' approximate location, DoS, etc).

SQL is set-oriented. How would that work on a potentially indefinite stream, other than as a simple filter which you could just do with a tool such as awk.
What, you mean the simplified world ideologies don't hold up in practice to the real world? What kind of craziness is this?

Less sarcastically... that's kind of the big issue that people forget. The price of bitcoin is approximately the cost it takes to mine it less the cost of capital or so--in other words, you should expect to spend something like 95¢ in electricity to make $1 of bitcoin. Electricity prices aren't consistent across the world, but the notability of bitcoin is such that you have to compete against the lowest-cost places. In order to make a decent amount of money from bitcoin, you have to consume a decent amount of electricity. And that electricity has to be converted into some other form of energy, which usually comes out as heat or (in some cases) RF leakage.

What that means is detecting mining is as simple as noticing who's using all the electricity (trivial, if you're the electric company), or walking down the street with a wide-spectrum RF sensor and IR gun.

When you look at that kind of power draw,
OK thanks. So maybe it will get there... with some elephant-sized teething difficulties!

If 'busy' means that your time is filled with things to do, that -can- be a good thing. My impression is that before technology, media, communications, health, and rising standards of living life was -a lot- more boring.

Every day on the 'net I see that hundreds of people who've not only found specialized, fascinating topics, but finally have someone to talk to about them. Sure beats taking anti-depressants.

To the extent that busy means 'paying for all this stuff I have to have': how much of it do I really need? Are we victims of 'have to have' obesity? I'll just gently suggest that, for many in the West, the answer is yes.
Meh, I disagree. CS 188 is not a very useful course. You can learn 188 material very quickly (i.e. reading Wikipedia for a couple hours) if you do well in CS170 and CS 189.

I think for data science: Stats 134, CS 189, EE 127, EE 126 are most useful (in this order). Of course, in order to do well in CS 189 you need to have a good background in probability which can either be CS 70/Math 55 (if very well understood), or Stats 134, or EE 126.

I wonder how many of my emails the other is receiving. All my stuff is linked with Gmail. Any suggestions to resolve this?
Neither mirtazapine nor trintellix affected me at all in that dept.

I can’t take paxil, zoloft or valium, so it’s probably different.

I personally wouldn’t stop antidepressants because my physiology goes straight into depression without exception, and then the relationship would likely flounder.
Aadhaar number enables identity fraud.

Since paper-aadhaar is still very much accepted as a proof, just having the number is enough (in many cases) to take over someone's identity and get a new SIM issued, which you can then use for emptying the bank account.

There are also phishing scams happening with Aadhaar since it uses OTP as the authentication factor. We have OTPs as 2FA for bank transactions, and it works because the first factor is still secret (credit card number or your banking credentials). However, if your first factor is your Aadhaar number, the security goes down tremendously, since every organization under the sun is now asking your Aadhaar.

I'm tempted to wardrive Aadhaar OTPs sent over unencrypted SMS.

You are really stretching the world "forced" here.

Still, a poor person that wants to survive has to choose between paying for food and rent or being arrested and imprisoned for theft. Which then implies being forced to work and therefore not having time and money to get better education and so on...
Sure, for the people who find it useful it's fine.

But that's not most people. Most people with depression have a mild to moderate form that responds well to medication for two years and a talking therapy. These people don't need ot be on meds for life.
In terms of the language specification it's the it creators who make the changes.

Not op, but for myself, not having any way of knowing if the service reads or retains any information from my files (outside of the core purpose) would limit the amount of data I would be willing to put through the service.
I would avoid working for such an employer, they're presuming the cost of someone more experienced isn't worth the output. Which means once you've worked there for a while they will try to kick you out for being too expensive, or pay you below market rates.

Plus, they're wrong, experience can give massive boosts to output (https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/08/25/the-01x-programmer/).
I never used Quora to begin with because of their constant pushing to sign up/log in to read past the first page.

I dismiss Quora links the same way I do with ads or any kind of sponsored content.
The thought did cross my mind. But there's something that feels weird about claiming an account that I never set up, especially where it's not clear if the service allows payment or usage with an unverified email address.

I personally don't believe the penalty for putting my email address in instead of yours (which could be very close) should be complete account hijack. Instead, I usually just filter the messages to trash.

I would much prefer to be able to click a link saying "I didn't expect this email." Very few services actually do this.

There will be some people who read the OP and see treating dots in email addresses where dots don't matter as another thing on their todo list for a signup form.

A more considered approach would be to think about how you handle emails. A lot of the time the email is the most important thing -- access to the email address is often the only credential you need to get into the account, so you want it to be correct before anybody spends time entering details.

You can make sure there are no mistakes by giving users a link to click within a window of time (e.g. 7 days), before they can enter any data associated with that account. Provide a link that says "nothing to do with me." Do not count the account as real until the link has been visited.

In the case of the linked article, Netflix asking for billing information before confirmation of email address is a clear example of a threat vector that has far more to do with Netflix prematurely pestering for payment than it does with Gmail aliasing email addresses.
My current guess is that a large part of this is the increase in various amounts of "chores" to manage, and this potentially increases with more wealth. Bills to pay, insurances to get, appointments to make, this or that government obligation to fulfill, monitoring credit report and data breaches, investing money here or there, getting real estate...

+ other things, like continuous learning, information collection, designing exercise schedules, designing diet systems...

With the persistent threat that if you mess these up there will be trouble.

Related to this, I wonder if the proliferation of these things is why conscientiousness is currently strongly associated with success. I've seen highly intelligent people have significant failures in their lives because they simply couldn't efficiently manage the bureaucracy that it seems it is assumed you can just manage automatically, which very much does not seem to be the case.

In reality, I think the current small (and large) task management load is simply too large for most people to properly handle, and wealth doesn't particularly help with all this because it doesn't directly increase the mental load surface... unless you outsource the work somewhere else...
The infuriating part is that one can't reply from the address it was sent to, only from the one that's primary.
This is a common issue with text based formats and ietf/RFCs. HTTP allows comments in some headers. And allows line breaks:

Is the same as

My guess is when you're not responsible for ensuring compatibility or having to deal with writing robust, fast, code, the temptation to be cute with your format overtakes things.

Your story of recovery is a good one (and not the only good one). The problem is that a number of people in that same system don't see any need to get people off these medications. IMHO they are best used short term (whatever that means) while you work through your issues - like you did.

For those reading, there is no "correct" timeline for working through your issues. Everyone goes at their own pace. I would just encourage you to try, and not assume a lifetime of medication is a good solution.

Well, it's strange to compare mushrooms which have been used by various human cultures for 5,000 - 10,000 years with a religious figure (although I did read somewhere that Jesus Christ was actually a mushroom -- but I don't believe it [1]). A better comparison might be, people have been reading the Bible for two thousand years, so we should assume it's safe to read the bible -- not that the main character was an actual person.

I used psychedelics irresponsibly in my youth, for recreational purposes -- much like it sounds you did. I'd never take MDMA without a proper spectral analysis (which you can obtain for $100 from ecstasydata.org) and with a sitter.

Then I took a decade off until I was facing recurring suicidal depression and was not interested in deadening my emotional experience via western psychiatry.

I was fortunate enough to be given a chance to do MDMA in a therapeutic setting as well as some healing experiences with mushrooms.

No question these compounds helped me release whatever was beneath the depression and other mental issues.

“Magic mushrooms are one of the safest drugs in the world,” said Adam Winstock, a consultant addiction psychiatrist and founder of the Global Drug Survey, pointing out that the bigger risk was people picking and eating the wrong mushrooms.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/may/23/study-halluc...

Also, I never said they were safe because they were natural -- that is silly. There are plenty of things in nature that will kill you. We haven't had thousands of years of people using botulinum medicinally or ceremoniously.

As to your claim that "What matters is that it is standardised[sic], of known origin (traceable/provable), well studied in clinical trials, and the mechanisms well understood." We have had a draconian prohibition on psychedelics in general for several decades and the promising research was cut off.

So, if one is actually interested in healing, what matters is in finding what works -- and sometimes that means finding ways outside sanctioned medicine. But of course, we do have data on psychedelics and their safety and efficacy for healing -- and the results seem to be much more promising than the current approaches.
