I will quote Bruce Schneier on CCTV cameras

> But the question really isn't whether cameras reduce crime; the question is whether they're worth it. And given their cost (£500 m in the past 10 years), their limited effectiveness, the potential for abuse (spying on naked women in their own homes, sharing nude images, selling best-of videos, and even spying on national politicians) and their Orwellian effects on privacy and civil liberties, most of the time they're not. The funds spent on CCTV cameras would be far better spent on hiring experienced police officers.

Ask HN: What would you use a wifi based location tracker for?
I have this prototype wifi based location tracker that works in urban areas whenever there's a wifi connection, will cost $50 (no service fees), and has 1 year battery life with the size of 4AA batteries. It's situated between GPS trackers which charge service fees and Bluetooth trackers which only work within 30ft of you. (i built it for my bike in case it gets stolen... again) What are other use cases? At $9 it could work for 30 days at the size of a walnut

I'm sure you believe that there's something special about Stanford. Many people believe that.

What I'm saying is that, in my experience, the belief doesn't hold up. If it were possible to reliably identify "academic superhumans" and concentrate them in one place, we'd have absolutely indisputable evidence of it. The fact that we don't suggests that perhaps your beliefs about how Stanford's admission practices correlate with quality of graduates may be mistaken.
In way yes, it is not really about winning it is about being truly at the edge of your abilities mentally and physically though I understand your sentiment there is something innately human about war, about being on your limits, facing death and standing tall surely it is not beautiful and we can argue the ethics and motivations but it is a part of what makes us human.

It's obvious immigration can do serious harm to the lower and middle classes.

What's surprising is how open they are to immigration despite the risk.

Who is we? I certainly don't think that's true. Maybe you could argue indifference?

Some programs are designed to replace humans, others are designed as tools. Automation does not always equal the replacement of humans.

I appreciate your analogies but there is not evidence in the article to suggests that police and investigators are being replaced by automated systems.

Data such as this can be used to eliminate a lot of the investigative work which usually goes into law enforcement.

Are you familiar with a police lineup? Police detain a selection of suspects based on various characteristics and ask witnesses to select the perpetrator, who may or may not be present at the lineup.

Neither a police lineup nor facial recognition are accurate or reliable when used alone, but when used in combination with other facts, tools, and resources an arrest can be made with increased speed and confidence.

I was going to state that I had read from a differently biased news source that nobody had been arrested, but the telegraph hasn't really reported it any differently to any other news outlet and contains this:

> It also said no-one had been arrested after an incorrect match.

Perhaps the real story here is that a system correctly identified 173 correct matches and that the police force clearly double-checked. That almost seems like an appropriate use of the technology.

Now, there is highly likely to be a desire to improve the precision. I think this may be where the problems arise. Let's say the system only had false-positive rate of 10%. An officer arresting people based on the information is likely going to become complacent and assume that the system is much more likely to be correct than wrong. It gets worse the better the false-positive rate gets.

Where my deep concerns are with such systems is that there is going to be a very strong temptation for the providers of such technology to store the false positives -- by definition not the people you thought they were and who will unlikely have given their consent -- in order to improve the precision and therefore their product. As there is effectively a wholesale opt-out of the GDPR for activities of the state at the cost of passing yet another ill-conceived law (to provide a lawful purpose or legal requirement) then there is no real reason why this won't be done.

Such behaviour will lead to companies which effectively become privatised portions of the state with no viable competition -- their data is their secret that keeps them the only viable choice, and when they have precision at 95% and as a competitor you can only dream of having precision of 25%, then it seems somewhat unlikely that anybody would choose to use the other system at any price. As a competitor you will not have the lawful purpose unless working with a police force, which is unlikely with precision at 25%.

My boss has told me more than once that his goal is to get the people under him to fill the role he's currently filling as our direct manager. This is, according to him, the only way he can move upward. He currently does a decently large amount of work for us as a team, but he's trying to shift that work onto us, because as you're pointing out here, cooperative and talented people can indeed self-manage.

The problem he encounters is when that doesn't work out because no group is perfect, and frankly we're probably not ready to manage ourselves quite yet.

But I think you're onto something here, and I also think every one of the managers who wrote READMEs in this submission would agree with you. From a logistical standpoint, someone has to attend all those meetings with other teams, with the leaders of the company to hear what they're thinking and translate it for the rest of the engineers, and make sure the boring stuff like vacation time, sick leave, etc. are being looked after.

It's not really about being in charge/calling shots, it's about taking a group of talented and smart people, and making sure they're getting the info they need to keep build cool stuff.

* Make exercise a part of your daily routine to the point you’re not thinking about it, ie cycling to and from work.

* Eating clean. So cooking all your meals with fresh ingredients.

* Get involved in a sport you enjoy doing. I notice people punish themselves, ie running when they don’t like it. It’ll never work long term. Climbing seems to sit well with the IT crowd. Find what works for you.

* It takes time. Potentially years to get where you want to be. Being patient is important.

On the more extreme side

* Move country. I had a healthier lifestyle in Indonesia than I did in London. Lack of alcohol and chocolate snacks is something you get used to when it’s not accessible.
I was in Marrakech before smart phone maps. I did once get lost in the Medina for about an hour before finding a familiar landmark.

I took a road trip from Ouarzazat to the dunes in the south east near Algeria. Some of the directions to hotels included “take THE road south of the village and turn off the road at the sign about 41 km from the city. From there head east on the hard sand about 9km. Follow the dunes counter clockwise until you reach the hotel.” That was an awesome adventure!
Thank you, I'm so happy you love them :)

I chose the e-mail format to make sure that I don't lose any lesson. E-mail forces you to act on it: either read it or delete it. I made a weekly newsletter so people don't get drown in e-mails.

But I totally get your point, I will think about a way of solving this issue. Until then you can also subscribe via RSS to the e-mails:

Ditto. I've experimented with sending newsletters myself. I do think they work better on a narrow topic where people really do want that regular update pushed to them. But, for the most part, I find that newsletter end up filtered to folders I rarely read. Better to have in Feedly (or other RSS reader) where I can peruse them when I have some downtime.

There is ipv6 so you wouldn't use NAT (with few exceptions).

IPV4 is a legacy deprecated protocol people keep on using.

More specifically, port addeess translation (what you seem to be talking about when you say 'NAT') would not have have a problem with 16bit port numbers if you can use a large pool of IP addresses for the outside interface(which is almost always the case with natv6).

Even with IPv4 it's 65535 sessions per IP, that's a ton of simultaneous sessions. Any router that would do PAT (that I can think) would encounter resource issues at over 20K stateful sessions but if your router can handle it all you have to do is add one more external ip to add capacity for 65535 more sessions.

Lastly,you can always do NAT/PAT upstream before it hits the final routers.per access vlan for example or per host if individual hosts need
>65535 sessions (adding an ip to the host if that number is greater).

Let's say a UDPv2 doubles it to 32bit: for a device pushing 1 million packet/sec (around 1Gbps) that comes out to an added 16Mbps that is pure waste unless someone has a very unique situation where they would push >65535 sessions per IP.

There is QUIC for an alternative layer4 as well as a few others. UDP and TCP both do their jobs well,if additional needs arise it would be an entirely new protocol,not an updated version of tcp and udp

It can learn. If you take ZFS as an example, it has both MRU (most recently used) and MFU (most frequently used) caches. Thus it can adapt to retaining memory data which is accessed repeatedly as well as data which was just read which might get reused. It's not perfect, but it should do a good job with a sufficiently sized cache.

Few things I started to do, which I can't recommend enough.

- Sleep well. If it's possible, you should never have to use alarm clock for waking up for school, or work, instead you should wake up naturally (because you went to sleep early enough).

- Dumb down your phone [1]. I recently purged all time-sinking apps from my phone, including the "supposedly useful" ones, like Hacker News, or local newspapers. You will feel way better, without the endless overwhelming flood of information coming at you everywhere you go.

- Eat clean and drink only water. Trick that works best for me, is that I do all my shopping on Monday and I plan every breakfast and dinner for the whole week in advance, so when I have cravings, there is simply nothing in my kitchen I can binge on (I realize this solution does not work for everyone, especially if you are not living alone). Of course, I still buy ice cream or some other sweet after lunch ~ once a week, or go for couple of beers with my friends time to time, but it feels a lot better, when it is really a treat and not ordinary, everyday thing.

Eat less. Whatever your diet,eat small portions and not very often. Whatever type of foods you like,learn how they affect your body and balance accordingly (for example I wouldn't eat pizza more than once a year or fast food ever).

Don't sit too long,get a standup desk if you must work/code for hours non-stop.

Yes,of course you should work out. But what matters the most is doing it persistently as a matter of habit. When I skip a workout I feel as if I skipped showering or brushing my teeth for that day. Make it a daily habit. Why waste money on energy drinks when you can work out? 30 pushups > can of red bull.

Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear mentioned in passing, that you should always program your navigation device so that north is up, not direction of travel is up, and (in his typical hyperbolic manner) "you'll never get lost again.".

Note that "NAT translations" (for IP) actually use a combination of five different fields (a "5-tuple"): source IP address, source port, destination IP address, destination port, and protocol.

This means that you aren't limited to, for example, 65,535 TCP sessions on a single host even though there are only that many ports available.

I don't need reception to use a cell phone map. I often load up PDF maps of the area where I am, as well as public transport route maps.

Of course there are situations where cell phone or similar devices don't work well -- particularly, rain or frost. Apple devices in particular are hopelessly bad in cold temperatures.

Just don't rely on GPS always telling where you are.
Compilation itself, no. However, linking can be very I/O-intensive, particularly if using static linking of large libraries. And packaging up of build products at the end of the process. These can often be serial rate-limiting steps in comparison with parallelised compilation, so can end up taking a disproportionate fraction of the total wall clock time.

While it can clearly vary widely depending upon the nature of what you are building, it can in some cases be worth using faster storage to shave many tens of minutes off the build time.
That's exactly the problem I have with elixir, or akka for that matter. It's definitely a very convenient abstraction for building microservices and distributed systems, but at the same time it's a heavy language lock-in you're getting yourself into, the moment you start your project.

And especially now, when there are the de facto standard libraries to do various tasks (like TF in Python) I think language lock-in can be a terrible idea.
