no, my post was quite specifically about a single IX point in one geographical location, and was accurate. You confused me talking about interface sizes and counts at one IX point with cloudflare as a whole.
I disagree you have parsed my response correctly. I do not know why you or the previous poster choose to mischaracterize a narrow statement as a broad and universal one.

If you re-read my comment, you will see that I provide a counterexample to the "all markets for everything" narrative.

Your response indicates that you think I'm a member of the opposing intellectual "team" and you need to defend yours. Not only do I acknowledge that single-payer is effective in several countries, I believe that it is one of many possible solutions to the U.S. healthcare problem.

My comment was narrowly disputing the effectiveness of a centralized planning system for market commodities. Even the NHS has considerable decentralized aspects.
This web page is called "Hacker News".
I became a hacker because when I was a kid I did all those things with a computer that I was not meant to do. I edited the AUTOEXEC.BAT (that's probably a crude analogy to the settings these days). I tried to understand options about memory management to some of the commands that probably weren't meant for anyone except for the developers (with limited success I must say). A lot of things happened during my childhood that were not good for me. Using a computer in unintended ways wasn't one of them.

If you want no more hackers in 20 years you should give your kids devices so locked down they can't do anything.

Yes, that is true, but irrelevant. A purchasing entity can price the drug fairly, and an entity doing original research can price the drug unfairly. Whether or not the IP was bought and sold is a non-sequitur.

What actually matters is that we have two problems:

1. How do we incentivize drug discovery?

2. How do we treat all the people that need treatment?

Right now our answer to #1 is that we allow people to charge the people that need treatment, for a limited time. This system works ok, but there may be better ones. If you have any, i'd love to hear them.
File system. The prices for Hetzner's cloud seem to be the same: 20TB traffic included and 1,19€/TB on top of that. (That's super cheap by the way.)
Aadhar does not solve any of those issues.

You forget - corruption or cheating is an evolving system. There is no set of static rules which govern the world. Cheaters as a result always adapt and find an edge.

Finally - The massively hurtful demonitzation exercise failed to uncover large amounts of hidden cash.

While everyone who worked with money knew this, the lay people still believe in magic bullets and tech optimism to solve what are inherently human issues.

I have Firefox Focus installed. I've definitely talked to other people who have also been unable to read gists lately without logging in. Would github care about adblockers?

The difference is that back then, the brainless games were the equivalent of a box of chocolates. Sure, you might eat a couple but you would probably get bored before you finish the box. Now, it's like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. You never want to leave.

So as a child, choosing the productive option yourself is basically impossible.
Security failure always moves to the weakest link.

The issue with bribery is always a differential of power = rent seeking behavior.

This makes aadhar the enabler of corruption, not the remover of it, since now the State is so deeply intertwined in your life that it is inextricable.

Aadhar will long term make things more corrupt. The current levels of corruption will look childish - it returns us to pre 1980 levels of corruption
xlsx files are also zipfiles that contain xml, so you might get away with just unzipping them, then using some xml query, then zipping it back up.

Further, it is trivial to picture an attack where through some other channel, the attacker already knows the email address of their target, and has the knowledge that this victim has a netflix account.

If I only need these two pieces of information, neither of which is intended to be 'secret', then I might easily already have enough information to attempt this attack on (for example) my ex, or their new partner, or someone at either work or university that I dislike, even if I didn't have enough information to target a random person in another country.

It is good practice not to expose user's email addresses to attackers. It is breathtakingly bad practice to depend on those email addresses being secret.

I did about ~30 offshore helicopter flights to Sealand (~20km offshore UK) in 1999-2002 and never did a simulator. I don't even remember a preflight brief. I'm glad I didn't know how dangerous it was at the time. Of course, given that we weren't wearing exposure suits or anything, it would probably have been quick death vs. slower death in any accident.
From experience with using carriers tracking information world-wide: scraping will be fine for low volume usage and if we are talking personal use cases.

If this has any professional smell (as in you make money with whatever you use the data for) you will want and need access to each carriers API for several reasons:

- accuracy of data: this is not guaranteed for the web views, they may (and are) usually outdated by hours
- volume of updates: carrier APIs usually come with rate limitations and can also require contracts for uses
I don't understand why csvkit is listed in the SQL-based utilities section. csvkit is a suite of multiple command-line tools, including csvcut, csvsort, csvgrep, csvjson, csvstat, csvstack, csvjoin, etc. and multiple converters, so is not only csvsql
Wait a little.

Indians are very very good at thinking out of the box, and specialize in working against rules. Its our national past time to be honest.

In many cases, people will let you take the money and then will just pressure you for it. Aadhar does not solve that.

Cheaters (which is what corruption is) basically adapt to rules. Your assumption is that things will remain the same.

They will not.

Aadhar achieves nothing, because the core issue we have is enforcement of the law at both the center and the periphery.

This means autonomy of the police force, expansion of the judiciary.

You will not find one party advocating for this. Instead the parties know that Indians love the idea and concept of magic bullets, and they sell that as the product.

You could edit AUTOEXEC.BAT and write your own version.

Kids can't do anything like that, at all, on an iPad. They are so far removed from anything even approaching productive tools for modifying/creating new apps on the iPhone, its just not feasible.

Your argument would be fair and valid if in fact there were tools onboard to write apps for iOS .. just like there was a copy of EDIT.EXE and/or DEBUG.COM for you to play with on your old PC. But to make things equivalent, you'd have to have encrypted your old DOS disk and locked it down so it only ran one app, and there'd be no chance in hell you'd ever get anywhere even remotely close to GWBASIC.EXE ..

So, no not really equivalent. Yes, kids should be encouraged to hack their computers. No, iOS does not allow this in any way, whatsoever. The tools of production have been removed from us.. a technological class system is being enforced by imperial masters. No compiler for you!

Well the BEST way would be to put every human being in a cell, and then have a location for it.

That way food, water, shelter, healthcare can all be given immediately.

The state should provide humans the ability to live their life. Aadhar however gives the state too much power, and for little actual value.

The only real way to work a state is to make those local units work.

This is the ACTUAL hard work of a nation state - but most of our best and brightest want to leave the country and go abroad.

This means anyone ethical and hardworking leaves. You can imagine what that gap implies.
"based" is alt-right slang. It's basically a positive descriptor used for stuff they agree with.

Like most of the alt-right slang, it originally had other meanings, and it's sometimes used in those meanings too... But when the context is politics, it's the descriptor the alt-right uses for itself.

Linux is irrelevant on mobiles.

Apple devices obviously don't run it, Android and ChromeOS might have Linux underneath but only expose Java, JavaScript, ANSI C/C++ lib and Android specific native APIs.

Android P could be released with a complete different kernel and only OEMs would notice, all user space apps would be kept running.

Yp! Why should the hospital bear the entire cost of his treatment? People will die, others will go hungry, others sleep under the bridge and so on. But these problems need to be solved by the society in general, i can't berate e restaurant because they serve food and many people around it go hungry. If hospitals cured people for free they'd close their doors within months.

Hey if you have an article showing that Aadhar has done good, please share.

Most of the Aadhar numbers are disputed and many cases they made straight up fraudulent or ambiguous claims.

It's easy to find information on bad things the CIA did [1], "minor" things of note including classic hits like "imposing a dictatorship in Iran, leading to an Islamic fundamentalist revolution and thus creating a powerful enemy against the US where there wasn't one before" and "trafficking drugs into the US and greatly amplifying America's drug problems", but looking for times where they actually did good for the country leaves me with little if anything.

The CIA's actions aren't done in national defense. They're a subversive organization. The fact the CIA suddenly shifted from being a shadowy government organization that people pretty much only knew about through action movies to being "open" about their ongoing activities within these past few years raises some red flags. Looking at the CIA's history, it's incredible that anyone would sit there and think they're trustworthy. I encounter people trying to say "well that's in the past" pretty often, which is a silly position to take, because why would they have any reason to stop?

Hetzner for storage and traffic, Scaleway for serving additional traffic for free, to stretch the dollar further. At 5TB you probably don't need anything but the raw file system yet, but if you do want some redundancy you could add something like Gluster on top. I'm building out a video + image processing + CDN-like aspects solution on top of such a setup and plan to offer it as SaaS in the not too distant future. Idea is to make something a lot cheaper (order of magnitude?) than currently exists on the market -- for a lot of ideas and opportunities I come across using any of the non-budget clouds/hosting providers is just not feasible financially.
I would think that "in the tech community" implies the white male part.
"alt-right" is also slang often used as a negative smear that jives with the preconceptions that people who are unhappy about current US politics have about the other side. Generally used to lump in the extremes ("rational" wiki's main feature).

> In the EU in 2012 the estimated cancer incidence was 2.6 million cases. The estimated cancer mortality was 1.3 million deaths, accounting for 26% of all deaths. DHCC (direct health cost of cancer) in the whole EU increased from €79 to €86 billion during 2005-2014 (in 2014 prices)

The population of the EU is over 500 million people. The annual taxation needed to afford this level of care ranges from 50-270 euros per person across the region.
There is a cost benefit analysis, and many people have shown that the govt figures are incorrect, and that Aadhar has not had an impact.

I am fully sincere about it.

Straight up Aadhar has hurt our constitution. IT was initially run without ANY legal protections or aegis.

Later it was retroactively Okayed via a money bill.

It has rarely been used for its intended purpose, but instead it has terminal feature creep and support from the state to enter every sphere of life.

The state govts are now making their own mirrored data bases of Aadhar data, which last I checked is not covered by the Aadhar law.

The aadhar agency is the only agency which can take cognizance of Aadhar offenses - making the agency its own judge and jury.

Aadhar was never meant for scam protection or prevention - take a look at the claims of the Aadhar agency.

They use clever tactics to appear to be enablers, but when put on the spot they reduce their job to "we just authenticate biometric requests" - moving the onus and responsibility for any leaks or misuse to other agencies.
because if you know someone's email address you have now also discovered that they have an account with a particular service which you should not be able to do.
I've been actively searching for an understanding of how to compose microservices, i.e. define the bounded contexts. Having read many articles, watched videos, read books, I still didn't know. Most content talks about how to execute once you have defined a bounded context. There are a few examples but don't readily transfer to other problem spaces. It's much like trying to learn what a monad is, although it should be so much simpler to convey.

This video says most of the same things, but somehow it finally got through to me. Before the aha moment, I knew that you can define your boundaries by following business ones, or by verb, or noun, etc. From paying close attention to a seemingly obvious stream of words, I finally realized how we were incorrectly composing microservices (or decomposing the system).

We were mostly falling into defining boundaries by noun, which sounds right, but is usually closer to a entity service with some specific advanced functionality. We also have some services that more closely follow the micro-SOA pattern. The lightbulb lit up when he mentions that services should loosely coupled (as we all agree), but mostly asynchonously, and with duplication of data. The red flag is that we have services that synchronously call other services with some single-source-of-truth.

To really illustrate a better path to finding microservice boundaries the Self-Contained-System[0] decomposition is raised which cuts a slice from the UI all the way through the back-end. This makes complete sense as in the example if a service for related items failed, then that section of the application would just be empty.

Nice, I found that to be most fascinating on Rand McNally maps from back in the day. I cycled past the Great Divide Basin on the road down from the Tetons, through the Snake River canyons and the view did not disappoint. High points on the divide were attracting lightning on a near continual basis from the late afternoon onward and it was quite a light show.

I reached the same conclusion some time ago that smartphones are basically consumer devices designed to, well, consume content, not create anything. I still remember dreaming about a portable computer that I could carry with me when I was a kid but this is not it. Of course you can install termux on Android and there are some toy interpreters but the entire platform is just designed for end users, not creators.

> the responsiblity for this flaw ultimately lies with netflix

Indeed. You should always validate emails for accounts.

The amount of accounts I “have” and can’t cancel because of sites not doing any email-ownership validation is quite annoying.

> in a purely practical sense the mockup at the end of the article showing an explicit warning about email being sent to a non-canonical address is clearly excellent and should be implemented.

Gmail is doing something very nonstandard here and it’s absolutely their responsibility to inform users why they are getting emails on addresses (most?) users would never know about nor use.

I’d even say that having this feature on with infinite whitelisting by default is a security issue which should be resolved.

Preferably by only allowing explicitly whitelisted entries created by (the few) power users using this feature.
