Along the way, our government has been somewhat hijacked.

The 10th amendment of the Bill of Rights says to the effect: ~"The Feds can only do what the Constitution says they can, states have rights to create their own rules, and all other liberties are given to citizens."

If you're imagining the power dynamic between the federal, state, and citizen level, the Constitution was written to give citizens a framework of higher government, while the Bill of Rights was written to explicitly restrict that government's power. (i.e. "government shall make no law" vs. "citizen has rights xyz")

Somewhere along the way people started seeing the federal government as the top of the pyramid rather than a caged beast. Somewhere the beast escaped the cage.

There are two problems:

A few milliwatts can easily block the sensitive input of a Police Repeater on the other side of town.

FWIW, your "Hundreds of Milliwatts" are routinely used by hams to communicate world wide.

And no, a simple bandpass filter WILL NOT clean up this rubbish. Its output spectrum is the base-band signal repeated over and over, all the way up to VHF. It would take a very capable filter to pick out the single product required. This is NOT the way to design a clean transmitter.

It will not only cause interference, but it will interfere with EVERYTHING within range.

Most output filtering is a simple Low-Pass Filter which is designed to remove harmonics. But by definition, harmonics are an octave removed from the fundamental. This horrid device puts out a closely packed comb of spurii from DC to daylight. A simple passive filter will not even come close to cleaning it up.

You first start with a sound design, then add filters to clean up the last of any unwanted emissions. Not the other way around.

And because these faults have been well documented, this equipment would most definitely be classed as an "intentional jamming device".
I believe the groom demanded to be paying for car and house is actually majority of the cases in China these days, especially in cities. Women have decent income themselves, most parents only have a single child, so why should mine (girl) be worth less than yours (boy) while there are plenty of men to be chosen from with a short supply of women

> I am Hindu, and I have no idea how you got this off track

I have studied Hinduism and India in detail. I'm sorry that you feel my analysis is incorrect, but I can try to explain. Firstly, the census data you linked to still relies on the British definition of "Hindu". It may come as a surprise to many Indians including those that would describe themselves as "Hindu" that in fact, the term Hindu was popularized by the British and just meant "non-Muslim". That definition even originally included Buddhists and Sikhs.

"
The British government created a compendium of religious laws for Hindus, and the term 'Hindu' in these colonial 'Hindu laws', decades before India's independence, applied to Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs.

Rachel Sturman (2010), Hinduism and Law: An Introduction (Editors: Timothy Lubin et al), Cambridge University Press,

Beyond the stipulations of British law, colonial orientalists and particularly the influential Asiatick Researches founded in the 18th century, later called The Asiatic Society, initially identified just two religions in India – Islam, and Hinduism. These orientalists included all Indian religions such as Buddhism as a subgroup of Hinduism in the 18th century. These texts called followers of Islam as Mohamedans, and all others as Hindus.
"

There is little in common with the "Hinduism" practiced in say, Uttar Pradesh with the "Hinduism" practiced in Kerala. In Kerala, Hindus even eat beef from cows which would be considered a sacrilege in Uttar Pradesh. This is why the term Hindu does not really communicate any information other than "non-Muslim" and even that is debatable since parts of the "Hinduism" practiced in places like Rajasthan bears a great deal of resemblance to Arabic-Islamic culture.
Exactly, I do the same, TTRSS is running without problems since about 2013 but I never use it's frontend, just the API to read in different clients on my mobile phono and on my desktop (actually with my own client https://github.com/jeena/feedthemonkey). TTRSS does the work of gathering the feeds, updating and parsing them, and holding the 'read'and 'starred' information, everything else I do in the 3rd party clients.
The More of Everything Problem
Actually, I totally agree with you. I decided the number based on the default maximum number of open files on Linux because I was not sure about common limits of concurrent connections between clients and HTTP servers. Or, it should probably regulate numbers of requests per second sent to the same hosts. If someone suggests other options, I would adopt it.

Why do you need Tx for an IMSI catcher? Also, a USB TV tuner won’t work for the receiving side either. You’ll need to step up into an actual proper SDR for that. Still easily sub $500, but sub $100 is a bit too far a stretch.
I don't know the PIN for my main credit card. I can use PayWave here in AU for anything under $100. When racking up more than $100, I say "I don't know my PIN. Can we put that through as x purchases instead?" or I make up something about needing to split payments for business receipt purposes.

I've never been asked for ID or had anything other than the staff member accommodate without hesitation. I haven't needed my PIN in years now.

But every time, I think, "I bet I wouldn't get away with this if I wasn't a plain white guy."
Ask HN: What are the alternatives of hosting Apache Spark?
I truly love what databricks is doing, but their pricing model is unpredictable. Are there any other hosting companies that provide a fixed price?
Yeah. I remember when 4GLs were going to replace COBOL, too.
Best thing to do is talk to a lawyer and remember any and all work for the government has to be tracked and logged. If it was not an official government contract that was funded and awarded, no work should have been done by anyone unless the government agreed to pay for the work or the company agreed to pay you with the risk that they would not have been paid by the government to compensate you work. Either way, you should not have been doing any free work for the company and any tools or hardware you used should have been purchased by the company unless you are a contractor.

If you are a contractor then all hours you worked should have been paid for and tracked by you. Just make sure you talk with a lawyer to help fix things up for you as it sounds like something shady may have occurred.
I think this is perfectly relevant criticism. Browsers are a huge amount of overhead to add to a cross platform toolkit, for virtually no benefit. Distributing full fledged programs like this via browsers is simply going to be a shit user experience, on top of the already terrible user experience that browsers give.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing.
That's not too far off from the figures quoted in the article – a 2% difference of 1.4 billion (China's population) would be 28 million, which is not too much less than the 34 million difference quoted in the article.

> In my opinion there is a clear line from redlining, blockbusting, white flight & loan discrimination to the massive wealth gap among races we see today.

Yes. See: "The Color of Law" - https://amzn.to/2JlHvRT extensively well documented. It's depressing reading though.
>“In the future, there will be millions of men who can’t marry, ...

Why? Two husbands are better than just one. More resources to support the family. Flip a coin and then alternate on the kids.

Multiple wives are allowed in other countries. Why not allow multiple husbands instead? It wouldn't work for everyone but it only has to work for some...
I think you’re both right. Placing less value on baby girls and allowing people to kill their baby girls are together causing there to be less baby girls.
Mainly Saaskit. aspnetboilerplate.com looks awesome but it is an entire application framework built on asp.net.

Finbuckle.MultiTenant is just focused on supporting multitenant scenarios in asp.net core and integrates into a standard asp.net core project.

Looks like we both support data isolation via automatic filtering in Entity Framework Code (I almost have this documentation ready to post).

I also support tenant-scoped options which allows you to have different authentication options (any option really) per tenant. aspnetbiolerplate.com looked like it had its own auth system--I didn't see anything on the site about how multi-tenancy applied to its auth system.
This.

Blogging predates all blogging services, platforms, and software. Blogging was invented by early web pioneers. The corporations followed in the Gold Rush of the 1990s dot-com bubble, and they've been trying to monetize our social lives ever since.

Nowadays, thanks to marketing machines and television talking heads, nobody has "websites" anymore, we have "blogs".

"State law says the public owns all coastline on the ocean side of the mean high tide line. Khosla says he shouldn't have to open up his private land without compensation to allow passage to the cove, which is buttressed by cliffs and impossible to reach otherwise except by water. "

Bloomberg misses the whole point, which is that the road was an easement that had long existed before and into Khosla's ownership.
I can see where web assembly could take us, but I am confused about why people seem to want to go there.
> US or Russia is a respectable force for China, but Europe - not so much, so China will monetize its power and it'll buy your factories and ports if it can push it (and China has a lot of power to push).

You over estimate the Russians and under estimate the Europeans, if you consider Europe to be the EU they outnumber the Russians on just about every metric, GDP, numerical and technological edge, population, logistics.

I think historical and present discrimination explains the gap, but I would say that the historical discrimination plays a bigger role because it has had time to "compound".

My general defense against the "what about other minorities" argument is that other minorities are not starting from a similar position to blacks in America and that 400 years of discrimination has compounded and sets blacks back.

The other factors would be very interesting to analyze but once again I think you would need to understand the entire history of America and racial discrimination to make a full comparison, for example:

- Family Norms / Stability: When comparing this across races you would need to take in account a few things, such as the disproportionate amount of black men who are incarcerated and how that affects family dynamics.

- Education: You would need to consider the fact that most public schools are funded via property tax, and then you would need to dig deep into housing discrimination history to see why property values in black neighborhoods are so low and why the schools are poorly funded also.. schools were segregated for a long time and are still pretty segregated now.

- Location: Most African Americans in America live in the south, which has a lower GDP than other parts of America. However, the south was once an economic power house in America... but the engine of that power house (slaves) never benefited from the wealth they generated. So that would also be interesting to analyze.
I remember now...

Ask HN: Locating PR for an app startup?
I have developed an app that I believe has a lot of potential for downloads and profitability. I also think it has a great backstory that would be worthy of TechCrunch, etc.

Now to reality: I've reached out on upwork, I've tried calling PR firms and getting sent straight to voicemail, and I've tried filling in their webforms.

Crickets.

Either my idea and app has merit and I could pay them to give me some PR, or my idea and app do not, and they could still take my money to try and fail to generate the PR.

I feel like I'm standing on a street corner trying to hand out $100 bills, no strings attached, and no takers.

Can anyone recommend a PR/app marketing firm or individual with a competent intake process?
They are, you just don't hear about it. Who do you think open all those bars and restaurants and other shops in the city?
Thank you for your feedback! Can you open an issue on the GitHub repository? I would appreciate it if you add some concrete use cases as then it'll be clear what kinds of options need to be implemented.
It seems extreme but if you don't have enough other savings to bridge 1-2 years of joblessness I think it's very reasonable. The tech sector might tank and come back but you need enough breath to wait for recovery.

I think your approach is fine for local dev servers.

Maybe just introduce something like an exponential backoff algorithm if you start getting too many 5xx errors or the requests are hanging.
I'm also curious about this. It seems that many go developers out there are using Makefiles. Makefiles are a good solution for golang projects in some cases, but I've seen a lot of people really abusing Makefiles and trying to use them for more generic task running.

In a past life, we used invoke [1] for task running. It was incredible but has the same problem as rake: it introduces another language (Python) and more dependencies.

There's a fairly new task runner being developed in go called mage [2], but it didn't seem worth the jump yet to me as it's still pretty immature (I haven't played with it in a few months, though). Did you consider trying that out?

Both Facebook and Twitter DID support RSS, both, for years.

Each corporation decided to eliminate RSS from their platform around 3 to 5 years ago, because they wanted complete control over the distribution of "their" content (OUR social lives).

It's difficult to discuss this subject without running into this gigantic elephant in the room which is that the behavior of corporate "social media" giants is exploitative, bordering on criminal, and absolutely contradicts the best interest of the public, our nation, the internet, and intelligent life. This has really served to spotlight some of the problems with free market capitalism.
Having just got back into RSS in the last week, I tried newsboat and found it does at least what I needed it to, from the terminal, without it adding features that get in the way. I haven't looked for anything else.
Everything I've read has stated the bans and deletions will go in affect at the end of this month. Down to the wire but if true there will be a lot of "where is your god now?" examples to this idea that YouTube won't enforce its own rules: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7667605?hl=en
There's some youtube videos (can't find them right now) from video bloggers (right term?) that live in China, and there are many Chinese women that Chinese men won't marry (apparently older women). This is despite the fact that men out-number women. There's a cultural aspect that may not be taken into account that may be exacerbating this issue.
What mechanism could exist for transferring poverty from slavery of ancestors to poverty of current people? The examples of immigrants seem to show it's not being born poor or having a traumatic life experience and being disadvantaged. Could it be the knowledge of the history that's holding blacks back? If everyone somehow forgot Jim Crow and slavery, would the next generation of blacks do as well as immigrants, do you think?

Also, I really think you should have some evidence at all that slavery or persecution causes intergenerational poverty after the effects have gone. I hear that theory a lot and I've never seen any science to support it. Only to support immediate poverty of the individuals who were persecuted, not their great great grandkids.

Another counterexample is Australia - founded by convicts 200 years ago and in a much shorter time, they ended up doing very well compared to blacks since slavery.

My mother is a wise woman. She's in her late 80s and is living comfortably. (She has since her mid 60s, when she retired. Dad died years before.)

Her advice: Don't retire too soon. You'll get bored.
Razor pages != razor syntax. I think Microsoft screwed up with the naming of them because, even within the .NET community, I see a lot of developers that conflate them. Microsoft should have named razor pages something different to avoid this confusion.

It's just a simplified MVC model where the controller boils down to OnGet()and OnPost() methods in a code-behind file. The code-behind file, in turn, reminds developers of web forms, but razor pages are really not similar at all.

ASP.NET Core has a lot of flexibility. You can go Web Api / SPA, classic MVC, or razor pages. Each has a sweet spot.
The device generates a comb of the original baseband, repeated all the way up to VHF.

There is no way that a simple passive filter will pick out the wanted signal, while blocking all the others.

It would take a sophisticated multi-stage active filter to even come close.

Don't forget Google. In fact, it's not just RSS; it's other open standards (e.g. XMPP) that they embraced initially, then dropped.
Nothing to do with solar (yet), but I have time-of-use charges here in Australia, where it was 11¢/kwh 10pm-7am, 30¢ shoulder and 45¢ 2-8pm. So you bet I only started the dryer and dishwasher after 10pm (or when I get up at 6am).

We often had 2 loads of washing a day too; when you're night-time toilet training the kids it's a killer. Fortunately we're past that; now it's just loads of school and sports clothes, still not as much.
If anyone else here on HN is a fan of talking about what "makes sense" in the context of elder scrolls, I'm a big fan of /r/TESlore on reddit. Everything from explanations like the above, to how specific enemy groups became the way they were (e.g. the falmer in Skyrim), to theories of the economics underlying the games.
Well you can get a VPS for $2.50/mo these days with half a gig of ram, more than enough to handle 5-15 simultaneous visitors on your average WordPress blog.

The WordPress software IS free. The WordPress.com service is not, as you pay for it by attaching their domain name to yours thereby providing them free advertising.

Also, there's nothing to stop you from hosting your personal blog on your personal internet connection. Even if you don't have a static IP there's ways to solve that.
He knew what he was buying into then. It doesn't change the legality of what he's trying to do - and I don't see any legal basis for his claim. But it certainly makes me less sympathetic to his cause. If I lived nearby I might visit the beach just out of equal parts curiosity and protest.
