I came for the crackpot theories, but instead learned something fascinating.

Thanks!
I am much more in your court than you think, yet somehow Facebook has become a way to make and break relationships and/or businesses for people who are not us. I'm not going to pretend to know what all the individual edge cases are spread out across 2 billion people preventing some of them from leaving, but I'm not going to dismiss the notion simply because I don't personally have that problem and I generally expect the people I associate with to not have that kind of problem.

There absolutely should be consequences for Facebook specifically, I vehemently agree with you! I don't think even the EFF is saying there shouldn't be, just that it is not part of their mission to advocate one way or another on that matter. That said, I think, and I think what the EFF is saying here, is that it is unproductive to contain the conversation solely to Facebook. Facebook is the problem right now, and probably not the only one, and definitely not the last one to be developed with that business model. Whatever services we use, there needs to be a baseline for what we should be able to expect in terms of privacy and data portability, a baseline that favors the users of the platform.

Personally, I think #DeleteFacebook does matter, and I think people honestly should, but now is the time to be thinking about the long term. GDPR-like laws are one possibility, and as a society we should be figuring out if we want to go that route, or a different route altogether.
Telus has this entry:

exists:CL.%{i}.FR.%{l}.F2.%{o}.spf.nssi.telus.com

Reading RFC 7208, that would be expanded to

exists:CL.69.64.35.11.FR.reply.F2.telus.com.spf.nssi.telus.com

which means if that any record exists at that name, it will pass.

dig +short cl.69.64.35.11.fr.reply.f2.telus.com.spf.nssi.telus.com
127.0.0.1

trying a few other values, it seems that telus.com is saying ALL IP addresses are allowed to send for it.
There is something strange about those headers. Are they all from the same email?

There are two Received: with by mx.google.com, and they are nearly two days apart. And there are two Received-SPF: headers.

Other than that, my guess is that the spammer has BCC'd you and put your email address in the from: header (oddly lowercase here). Gmail will put messages from you in the Sent folder (label) even when they are sent from outside Gmail.
Nope. This is just Gmail appending the "Sent" label to an email that you received from "you". You didn't actually send it, it was just a spoofed From header.
This is an accurate observation on the IIT students. A student in an IIT is an demonstration for their will power to sacrifice their social life in their teens to know all the common problems(past years exam questions) by repeated practice. The one thing that makes harder to work with IIT students is they feel entitled forever and feels they belong to a higher caste. That is why its always best to form teams with only IIT graduates. Also another important thing to note is IIT as an under graduate is much tougher to get in to rather than as an IIT post graduate.
Low hanging fruit is everywhere - essentially anything that has not been done yet. All ideas look "low hanging" in retrospect.
It's been such a long time that I hesitate to compare.
I think most people including journalist are basically computer illiterate.

Facebook has web interface. Uninstall the app from phone, and login once a week to check messages and to plan events.
Yeah, this looks pretty straightforward. As I read it, it looks like telus.com has set up SPF records allowing people to send mail as @gmail.com via Telus' servers. That's fine. These messages are being sent with a "reply@telus.com" return address (the "envelope from"), but they are coming from gown.shoppingbrew.com and rine.play-wto.com (I don't get why there are separate received headers here from different sources -- usually multiple received headers form a chain of custody for the email, and this looks like two different sources somehow both sent the same message ... maybe one of those is forged?).

The only part of this that looks like a Google-specific bug to me is that I'm not sure Gmail should be dropping messages into your Sent folder that did not originate from your authenticated account. If you send a message using some other mail client that logs in to your Gmail account, or an app, or the web app, sure, but if a message just pops into your account with your address as the "from:" header, it shouldn't show up in your Sent label.

The rest of this is just email being as broken as it usually is.

SPF only checks the envelope-from. It doesn't check the other "from:" header. Anybody can easily clone anybody else's SPF records, so any service that allows you to route mail through them and has already cloned Google's SPF records (so that users can send mail through Gmail's servers using their @telus.com address) is vulnerable to this.

If SPF were changed to also check the other from: header, then it would break every single domain that uses Google's mail hosting services but hasn't updated their SPF records. So that's never gonna happen.

This is maybe the biggest reason I wish people would stop using Gmail for any kind of important mail services. The moment you do that, mail from your domain can be spoofed by any other outfit that also uses Gmail, and it will pass SPF, which means it'll cruise right through most spam filters.

DKIM can resolve some of this, but it comes along with a suitcase full of its own nightmares.
oxylabs.io seems more expensive than luminati, minimum of $178/month. Not clear if they charge for bandwidth.

Problem with VPN is it's shared and hard to get a lot of IPs, any specific ones I could get say 100 dedicated US IPs for a reasonable price?
It's not just LiPos: while the 18650 are (afaik) safer to charge, they have the problem that the entire outer part except the top is the negative pole. Meaning the slightest damage to the wrap can cause it to get exposed: if you put to batteries in series, next to each other, and their negative poles touch, max current flows and produces enough heat to set things on fire and possibly causes explosion. Happens every once in a while in the vaping community for instance.

Show HN: Have you been hire pwned?

That's neither here nor there, because they believe it and are acting according to that belief. All those decades the West was beaming its propaganda into their territory by the media of the time, now it's payback time.
> how many varying definitions for empathy I'm seeing

The words sympathy and empathy are like the words ashamed and embarrassed. Everyone thinks they know the difference, but when they try to explain it, they find that it's very difficult to separate the words.

At least for my own mind, I found a handy way of differentiating sympathy and empathy from a line in The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell: If I hit my thumb with a hammer, most people watching will grimace: they'll mimic my emotional state. This is what is meant by empathy. So, then, sympathy is when you don't grimace but say something like, "I hope you're OK."
The story of this

TL;DR — I got hire pwned and made a site to let others share.

I was on Hacker News and complained (later regretting it, I don't like complaining, especially not like this) of a bad experience I had while hiring with a YC company.

I didn't think much of this comment, it was just a good way to vent, even if as I said, I felt bad about doing it a day or so later.

But the comment garnered a lot of attention, more than 30 votes and 10 sub comments. I started thinking I had hit some nerve, which surprised me.

I was also surprised how most of the comments were supportive of me. I expected the usual HN contrarian, "yes, but,it's probably the exact opposite of how you see it, here's why," but there wasn't really any of that, at least not strongly stated. A few of the comments even started calling for me, or people in general, to "name and shame" the company the anecdote related to.

I still have not decided, and right now don't feel as if I can say I agree with, the notion of complaining about these things in public forums as being something that works, either for the person complaining, or just in general. But I think other people want that sort of thing ( one comment even called for a database of these experiences ), and I realized I had just the sort of simple code lying around from another ( failed ) side project so I thought I could reuse it ( finally implement that Redis search ) and let people vent their experiences in a database where you can search by company name.

That's it. That's the experience that led to creating this. Let's see what happens. I don't think anything will come of it, but let's see. It will certainly be interesting to read other people's experiences, and maybe it will be useful for people to do so.
Maybe some dark-hat's side project finally reached a major milestone and was released?
Or create a site/database. To throw sunlight on it maybe?

Ok, I created it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16895043

I'm replying you because you were interested in this ( or seemed to be ).
Yep, couple of weeks ago guy showed me how he "deleted facebook".

He removed it from his phone (but still using the messenger app).

It's kind of ironic to hear that on Hacker News considering the decline in local investigative reporting is largely due to social media and ad-tech in general.

What do you mean by "alright"? Like internally? Would you be sitting well with yourself? Would you be deeply satisfied with what you've done with your life?

I imagine you'd be troubled, and no amount of money can alleviate that kind of troubled feeling, ever.

> Note that the linked story is _about_ the fact that a female philipino undergrad won a Pulitzer

Nowhere in the article is mentioned that she's a philipino.

> but does not explain much about about the story she reported on that won a Pulitzer

Published in September 2017, the story, “Seven Days of Heroin,” prompted a nationwide conversation about the opioid crisis, reflected in newsrooms around the country.

Just follow the link to the story and read the first paragraphs.

> I'm not arguing that she shouldn't have won a Pulitzer for her reporting if her reporting were genuinely worthy of a Pulitzer

Who would argue that and expect to be taken seriously?

> (it wasn't, but that's another story,)

Have you even read it?
> when most interns would just be out getting Starbucks.

On the contrary, most interns I know wouldn't be doing this because of how overworked they are doing the grunt work.
lack of brakes

Sliding/skidding (where the board is manoeuvred in the direction perpendicular to the movement) will make you loose speed pretty quickly.

Apart from that motor can be used to brake. Not sure what exactly is needed for it, but a DIY board I rode once had a dual trigger on the remote, one direction for moving forward, the other one for braking. Pretty convenient though won't stop you as quick as some friction brake.

lack of handlebars too.

That is only a problem if you either don't know how to steer with the board, or are trying to take sharp turns at too high speed. Both conditions which are equally true for other vehicles, main difference being some vehicles will be able to turn sharper than others given the same speed. And some are easier to control than others. But enough skill can deal with that.
It's definitely satisfying a need. I think your site could really do with some social proof but if you don't have any yet it's OK.

I find the header, "More Kirk, less Spock", slightly off putting as a first attempt at selling to me. I don't watch star trek and have no idea what that means. I suppose your mileage may vary on that one depending on if the visitor knows the show but you are making a big assumption there.

Maybe try posting it on https://www.indiehackers.com as well, people are always asking for help improving their landing pages there.
It’s About to Get Way, Way Easier to Put AI Everywhere
So any paid service should never use another service on its free tier? That’s a strange rule to abide to.
Author Here to clarify
The article is comparing today's LTE and 5G, deploying in 2018-2019. Is there really a big difference to the consumer between 100-400 meg real speeds (LTE) and 5G at 200 -600 meg mostly? In what application?
Latency in today's equipment from Ericsson and Huawei for either is 5-15 milliseconds.

Only 10-20% of the "5G" will be the 1 gig millimeter wave until after 2020. Even then, what's the practical difference for most people between 150 megabits and 900 megabits?

Some details:
Most LTE going in today is 100-400 meg real with a decent connection, 600-900 meg peak. (3 or 4 CA, 4x4 MIMO.)
2) 80-90% of the "5G" in the world through 2020 will be midband 3.5 GHz 200-600 meg. Only a small fraction will be the true 1 gig millimeter wave.
3) Latency on either most likely 5-15 milliseconds. (The difference in Ericsson equipment is 1-2 ms.)

email me, daveb@dslprime.com for references to primary sources. Don't believe the hype.
5G millimeter wave is planned for 1-4 ms URLLC, but not until 2022-2025. It can go 10-20 gigabits in the lab today, but I don't know any carrier designing for more than 1 gig to a user in the next 5 years.
I am pretty sure that the parent was referring to the fact that this article is about heart surgeries. Bad heart is used in the same manner as a bad knee or a bad tooth. It refers to the patient not the doctor.

But aside from that, I completely disagree with your comment. The approach you are defending, even if legal, is completely unethical and immoral. It should be something we chastise, not condone.
EFF is not saying that people should not leave Facebook. It is saying that currently for most of its 2 billion users, leaving Facebook is too difficult, they wont do that and if they did that they would loose too much.

Your argument is phone and messaging which does not replaces Facebook for most of those people. Phone being completely irrelevant. Just because those people are not exactly like you, dont have same needs, same usage patterns and similar social groups around them as you have, does not mean they don't exist. Nor it means that EFF should not use them as an argument.
I found the generalization above regarding computer literacy of "most people" unfounded and very troubling. This comment also handwaves the inconvenience caused to users who were promised access to the information they need across their devices.
The Quran on Clouds
The extra ones are probably made up by the spammer trying to trick Google's anti spam machinery.

When I was an anti-spam engineer 10 years ago, we saw this sort of tricks all the time. Basically the only headers you can trust are the ones inserted by your own infrastructure. DKIM does mitigate this somewhat, but of course has its own problems.
Does anybody know if other video players are affected as well?
Author here. Actually, the LTE being installed today will give 100-300 megabits to most users, except at the edge of the cell or behind a building, etc. The "usually less than 100 megabits" is equipment from more than a year ago. The right comparison is 2019 equipment against 2019 equipment.
Who is Rachel and how do her short and simple stories always hit the front-page?

They're interesting but I always think they're a little _too_ simple. I mean this entire thing can be summed up with:

500s (and other errors) are returned faster than processed requests. Load-balancers will find a misbehaving server's queue empty more often and give it all the requests
Redis excels at sub-millisecond operations - thats what you get when you use an in-memory data store. If you are conflating Postgres and Redis then it's doubt you really actually needed either.

Strong persistence or consistency isn't something that is very popular in Redis (or at least I haven't seen it done). In most cases you are right - if you are willing to trade latency for persistence or consistency there are other tools available.

I wouldn't read that much into tidis - it seems like a hobby project for now. Another interesting redis project is pedis (https://github.com/fastio/pedis). It takes advantage of multiple cores by, at a high level, sharding the keyspace per core.
Its definitely a thing in cybersecurity. The more credentials someone has, the less they are likely to know
You may be thinking of compassion or sympathy rather than empathy.

Empathy has multiple dimensions, so all the different perspectives are partly right.

Cognitive empathy: is seeing things through your perspective

Emotional empathy: I feel what you feel

Emphatic concern: I care for your well-being

“Drupalgeddon2” touches off arms race to mass-exploit powerful web servers
At a real estate webhost in 2014, we had a small web farm behind a single load balancer. I've written some previous posts about the interesting architecture choices made by the lead architect in previous HN posts. Along with these, it was the days of "move fast and break things", so developers got admin access to servers and would develop against live sites. Fun times to keep a web farm online all night long.

Partly because it was such a small operation, we heavily instrumented the web servers with PRTG, along with hitting a number of key sites every minute, on each web server. "When XYZRealty goes down, so do all of these other sites!" "We'll put a sensor on XYZRealty."

This gave us great data about the health of the servers, including identifying bad apples, and even aiding in performance testing of new modules. We were able to catch memory leaks and processing spikes before they broke our sites. And when 64-bit modules were ready to replace the 32-bit modules, we had baseline data ready to compare and evaluate.

Not that this won't scale - quite the contrary. Though it creates some data and requires dedication to maintain.
انقلاب السعودية اطلاق نار فى حى الخزامى
And that's why you always set health checks on servers behind a load balancer that should take bad ones out as soon as possible. You then get another interesting problem, which is if the server is only spitting errors when serving requests, it'll then be marked healthy again and forever toggle between healthy and unhealthy. But that you can also solve.
And it is done.

My experience is that for some, dehumanization is a direct response to having their capacity for empathy overwhelmed. It's a defense mechanism. I've seen it play out in people who are confronted with the homelessness epidemic in San Francisco.

With that in mind, making the whole world more empathetic sounds like one of the most destructive - if obviously well-intentioned - ideas I can think of.
Re: Chromecast, I found it to be buffering a lot of video. One thing that helped was buying a wired Ethernet adapter for it, and plugging it directly into my network. That made the Chromecast much more usable for me.

This is psychology, there are always exceptions. Personally I don't have problems with the act of typing when being looked at, but I do have a tendency to get nervous to the point I'm having trouble speaking. Only happens with crowds I'm not familiar with though. But I know enough of sociolog/psychology to realize that doesn't mean any of the claims made here are false for the general public, or even for me in certain situations. I do have the impressions I'm sometimes better in sports when people are watching and/or cheering.

Wish it were good for rural but 98% of experts think 5G millimeter wave will mostly be urban and suburban. Millimeter wave has short reach, hence not good for rural.
More antennas, MIMO and Massive MIMO, is the way to go for rural. Some people call that 5G, some don't.
It is cool that your life is so highly social, but mine never was. At times I was extremely socially isolated and Facebook actually did helped a lot. I do have and often had problem finding events, my childhood friends left the town or are busy etc etc.

I cant feasibly go to events and prioritizing real life meetings/parties without prioritizing away job, my kids and learning of new stuff.

Not everyone is like you. Not everyone has tons of free time when he can move anywhere freely, not everyone makes friends super easily and have large amount of acquaintances wherever he goes. And not everyone has tons of people around who happen to share similar interests or personalities. It was like that during college, but as I grown older it was increasingly less so. And I guess I am not alone, because this forum has highly upvoted "it is hard to make friends or not be lonely" article highly upvoted approximately once a month.

To me, Facebook did a lot of service that I could not replace by phone or message.
There perhaps now is another forum because I made it ( actually reused some old code ), after reading these comments. But it's not a forum. More like a very simple database with elastic search.

The last Received: and Received-SPF: headers are forged. It's pretty common for spammers to do that, apparently in an attempt to "trick" either spam filtering software or a person looking at the headers.
I would be very similarly surprised! And indeed, big banks have been and are very guilty of aiding and abetting.

Yet, I would also be very surprised if the percent of actual cryptocurrency usage that is legitimate even begins to rival that of typical currencies. And I may have missed the connection, but I fear I do not see how the illegal behavior of several large banks bears on the use of cryptocurrencies in narcotic markets.
