So the author makes some good points, but i have a hard time taking him seriously:

1) He writes a long blog post about problems that men have, specifically, and how there is unfair treatment between sexes.

2) He also writes explicitly that bodily autonomy of women is so important to him, it might as well be called holy.

3) He has had his son circumcised.

Any two out of these three positions i could understand. All three together are... hard to rationalize.
(Based on another reply, apparently David works for Clearbit)

How does Clearbit Reveal differentiate between a home/residential user browsing for business purposes, and that same person or their family browsing from the same IP (which may well be a business broadband subscriber) for entirely personal purposes?

From my own testing of a few Clearbit APIs, it seemed like your statement was, for all practical purposes, false. That said, maybe I’m wrong. I’d welcome an explanation or link to how Clearbit can tell commercial intent (or lack thereof) from, say, a shared IP.

Does a public site exist where an anonymous visitor can see the Clearbit Reveal response for their own IP?

There will never be a solution to "the 51% attack" for any kind of decentralized system. No blockchain will solve that particular issue. The conjecture Bitcoin has formulated is that there is no monetary incentive to perform the attack, and if the threat model involves state level adversaries nothing is particular safe. So far, it has been demonstrated that it holds true.

Maybe that's what “weird science” means?
Yes, I also quickly developed some skill with a utility knife, getting the paint out and creating space for the screwdriver head, but I never found a good way to prevent the screwdriver from sliding sideways. Especially with large screws that require a lot of force to remove.
Yes, right now we were more focusing on the 1:1 case. Our OfflineVirtualMachine is basically a StatefulSet with replica 1. For stateless scaling we have a VirtualMachineReplicaSet. A StatefulVirtualMachineSet will probably be added soon to KubeVirt.

When did HN get so political? In the last couple of months I've noticed an increasing amount of argumentative political discussion. Both sides seem so convinced of their moral superiority, it was somewhat amusing at first but now I'm tired of it.

I thought this was one of the last places I could come to get away from it but not anymore.

Do you mean this image?

It's only the lower part of the image that's of interest as an example; to use low contrast on the (mostly irrelevant) upper part of the image makes it easier to focus on the part that's discussed in the text. IMHO.

Right, so the localStorage data needs to be portable. But I guess that would require a trusted intermediary / proxy of some sort.
Regarding the nested cluster: One of the main reasons for having the VirtualMachineReplicaSet in KubeVirt is to allow that use-case. They work pretty nice in combination with CloudInit and e.g. kubeadm to dynamically scale the cluster.
I genuinely don't understand why cars suddenly
have to have tablets built into them.

Back in the 1990s, in-dash sat nav was a premium feature only available on high-end cars. The first all-in-one TomTom wasn't introduced until 2004, and before that people in sales were willing to pay a big premium for sat nav, as a business expense.

Hence, car companies _think_ an executive/luxury car needs to have a screen in the dashboard because that's just how it's been for as long as they can remember. And they think putting premium car features in midrange cars makes them more appealing to buyers.

I have a hard time imagining the monarch insisting on a joke. Not just Queen Elizabeth, but any hereditary monarch from the modern age. Monarchs retain authority because they're good at politics... RMS, not so much. That's not to say his political positions are wrong, just that the man is impolitic at times.

Monarchs exert soft power pretty much constantly, with public appearances, knighthoods, and recognition of great deeds. They often end up as the most popular political figures of their republics. So while monarchs are a fossil species in modern governments (since WWI), they retain enough of the royal prerogative to exercise those paper rights it when it actually matters. I think we're all second-guessing RMS here because he's using the perogative in a situation where it truly doesn't matter.
great stuff. what is consciously learnt and discovered by one generation can be intuitive to the next, precisely because of teaching.

>If you're a pro auto shop, you can probably get your hands on all of the exactly right tools. If you're an individual, it's another story...

Meh, I'm mostly talking about getting the right socket for the job... I mean, don't use the ASE socket that is almost the same as the metric bolt you are working on, go down to the hardware store and get the right tool.

That's the thing about automotive work; as far as I can tell, automotive tools are very widely available and cheap, compared to other tools I've worked with, and not only that, but you go to the auto parts store, and the people are helpful and knowledgeable. I mean, if I need some SAC305 on the weekend, well, fry's might have that, maybe, but nobody there will know the difference between SAC305 and sn99. If I need any sort of server-grade parts, I'm almost certainly stuck waiting for monday. Fry's has a very small selection of ECC memory or enterprise-grade disks, for example. And you aren't going to have a Fry's in a small town, but you will have a Napa auto or similar.

I mean, part of it is that I know a fair bit about computers and really not all that much about cars, but when I show up even at the chain auto parts stores, they can answer even relatively difficult questions. This is not, in my experience, true of Frys.

When it comes to tech support, be it a computer or a car that needs fixing, the difficulty of a question is directly proportional to it's vagueness. Newbies are more likely to ask difficult questions than more experienced and knowledgeable people who actually know enough to tell you what the actual problem is.
Nope. I upvoted it before even seeing who wrote it. The advice is absolutely spot on. Harden your servers, don't just install a load of tools that look for intrusions after-the-fact and call it a day. I'm not sure why some people aren't getting it.
Hey! Thanks for these great courses and materials! How much additional math (beyond high school and introductory college courses) do these courses teach? For example, if I were to take both courses, would I be able to understand the papers published by Surya Ganguli (e.g., The Emergence of Spectral Universality in Deep Networks, Variational Walkback: Learning a Transition Operator as a Stochastic Recurrent Net)?
That stripping the driver before the screw is a feature. Heads come with every box of screws I buy, and getting out ruined screws is far harder than replacing the driver.
Of course chips don’t work if the smoke escapes, internally they operate on smoke. We tested this with a chip socket connected to 120VAC. All the chips that we connected released smoke, and none of them ever worked again.
Buffett recently said the annual real return on gold since Jesus's time would be about 0.2%/annum. I'm not sure what Exxon has done/is likely to do but probably a lot more than that. He tries to buy things likely to make 15%/annum hence no gold.

As an aside Buffett and others are very unfair to tulips. A tulip can produce many offspring tulips which can be sold for cash and currently account for about 10% of Hollands GDP. Many tulip bubble buyers may have done ok buying holding and sticking in compost. Try that with a bitcoin or a share of Berkshire.
Isn't that the point? An inalienable right to self-defense is not an inalienable right to specific weapons or an inalienable right to wield them in all contexts. For example gun free zones wouldn't be a thing if you had an transitive inalienable right to carry a gun from self-defense.
Sure, if these projects were already blow away successes and completely disrupted their respective markets we wouldn't (hopefully!) be having this conversation. And I agree that skepticism is warranted here but at least with regard to Ethereum it is way overblown here on hn. Even if these projects haven't fully proven themselves yet what I think they do show is the strength and merit of the platform that has made them possible.
I think this is great news and something I've been pushing for for a long time. Sure adoption of Windows Store apps are pretty low now and it's incredibly hard to earn any money on them, but at least it's not impossible now like it was before with MS taking such a big cut.

Maybe this is enough that some hobbyist start putting some more effort into developing for the platform, which actually is quite nice.
Recently, Fender (the electric guitar manufacturer) began offering vintage reissue models with the originally-issued flathead screws, at some point years ago they had switched to Phillips. When doing any kind of modification or repair, I realised after getting one of the vintage models that I preferred flathead for that reason. Phillips is bad on guitars because not only is it easy to strip the head, but you can also end up dinging the top of the guitar when the screwdriver tip dislodges and hits the nice top finish.

This is also why you should only use a hand screwdriver and not a power driven driver bit.
If we were talking about pure functions, I would certainly agree, but in Python it would of course be perfectly fine and not unusual to have an impure function implicitly depending on the current time. Obviously assuming »consume nothing« only refers to the parameters of the function, so this too could be less ambiguous.
The same kind of report, written a few days after releasing a self-published open source book: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/taking-off-the-successful-la...

Nine months later, the book earned a little more than $3,000 in Leanpub royalties. Like other said, marketing is definitely the hardest part, especially if (like me) you had no initial audience. Since the book is free to read on GitHub, I hoped word-of-mouth would be enough to make it widely known and popular. Boy was I wrong.

The experience was worth it for a number of reasons, honing one's skills being the number one. That said, would-be authors without an existing follower base should prepare themselves for a multi-year commitment in order to reap any significant rewards.

well, he definitely is for those under him (not those besides).
That's my point. BCH did not include some technical innovations like you stated. It simply increased hardcoded block size limit. Simple as that. Even Satoshi himself mentions this in his whitepaper. Other stuff has also changed. The difficulty adjustment (DAA) algorithm has changed to allow are more stable difficulty for miners.
Segwit just changed what parts of a transaction counted as size in a block. In reality we're talking about 200KB or thereabouts extra space in blocks.
Lightning network is based on a mesh-network. Furthermore it completely changes the bitcoins fundamental clockwork. Suddenly you can't receive payments if you don't hold any coins yourself. Even more detrimental; you can't receive payments if you are not online on the lightning network. It has several other flaws that are very hard to fix; https://medium.com/@jonaldfyookball/mathematical-proof-that-....

I suggest you see this presentation on 1GB blocks (tested on test-net) by Peter Rizun; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SJm2ep3X_M
And his talk at "Satoshi's Vision" (here he talks about what is called "weak blocks" and how it can improve scaling and wasted PoW; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXFuNkaYcPQ

It's totally feasible and does not require super computers albeit a Raspberry Pi won't do no more. Scaling to VISA level of transactions is possible. I don't think it's really going to change too much in computing power with bigger blocks. The size of the merkle root won't change just because blocks are larger which means the block header size won't change.

How Scrum destroyed Agile
I feel like I'm more curious now (young adult) than when I was a child. This might just be biased or selective memory though. I have felt myself become more curious when interacting with some “infectiously” curious individuals. In retrospect I feel some jealousy as to their apparent natural curiosity but also can imagine that some of it might have stemmed from the interaction we had. Practice is also good: finding any kind of new skills and learning some discipline at improving in them and regularly moving on to something new improves your cognitive capacities and helps see past personal biases. Interacting regularly with new people about varied subjects is good training too.

I sometimes felt a lack of something when progressing in programming skills—it didn't feel so much a lack of curiosity as a lack of actual ideas: I didn't not want to discover new things but I didn't know how to transform that abstract desire into actual discovery. Maybe questioning your definition of the words you give to your problem can helps you find solutions.
Heat and then a crack with a hammer have been my method. Always using the absolute tightest getting screw driver. I still snap the screw maybe 1 time in 5 due to the torque I can get on it. I’m repairing rusted out 1940s window hinges, and it’s truest awful. Have got about 100-150 to go, but I’ve done maybe 300.

Although not directly related with the book, I would like to recommend, as an introduction to basic arithmetic, the youtube videos NJ Wilderberg.

He has very weird and non-standard ideas that you should not take too seriously, specially if you get into his videos on more advanced stuff, but his way of teaching basic arithmetic is certainly inspiring.

Not that someone won't always be there to do it, but about six years ago I decided as a designer / engineer, that I'm accountable and won't purposefully implement dark UX patterns after being asked to add a feature to a deposition platform that I was working on to score "truthfulness" of statements based off "microtremmor lie detection". A totally bullshit science. I fell out with my cofounders over that and left the company.
Also no weapons or oil and gas.

If we all just said we wouldn't do shit like that, I think we can make changes. I mean someone's still going to design discount toilet paper rolls that are 5 sheets but look like a full roll, and I guess cram the text together on bathroom cleaners so you don't know how you're poisoning yourself or that two almost identical looking cleaners contain ammonia vs. bleach so you mustard gas your roommate.

Design matters! Refuse to make crap!
You might be right. Nevertheless it seems distracting on a typography focused article, while the same focus could have been drawn without affecting the look of the document.

Also the actual first image bothers me in a similar way: the colors seem to blend into the background.

I concede it might not be a very valid reason to give up on the article but since it seems to be an ad for a set of products I find it fitting to judge it on appearance.

"technical instruction manual" and "safe place" in one sentence. That blows my mind.

I'm genuinely confused, what is going on with the world? Who cares about a joke here or there? Grep the Linux codebase or the ioquake3 codebase for "fuck" or whatever, too. Does that offend you in any way, too?

But then again, what do you mean by safe place?

This applies if you are developing your own software.

If you do security for an enterprise with dozens or hundreds of apps that you don't develop yourself, you might not have the luxury of only trying to reduce attack surface, or instrumenting 3rd-party supplied code.

Solving Tech's Diversity Problem
Well maybe religions should receive the same protections as Nazism, which is to say, not many beyond those which are provided for free expression in general.

Pedophilia is a special case versus other sexualities because pedophilic sex acts are criminal acts. Sure you can argue that all laws ultimately reflect common societal values which do change, but the justification for criminalizing pedophilia has some awfully deep roots -- namely in the idea that minors are incapable of certain types of consent, rendering pedophilia a form of assault.
Ask HN: What is missing personal money management services?
Personal money management has been tremendously helpful for me. I have been doing it for past decade, storing daily income and outcome and tagging them with categories of spend, etc. Every year I set goals to set some money aside, and use software to help me achieve it my monitoring and analyzing.

Apart from Mint/Quicken, banks have rolled out this kind of service too. But it is still missing something. Most people do not want to record personal expenses, and manage their own money with a software.

What do you think is missing? How can it be more democratized that more and more people intelligently manage expenses and adapt spending habits?
Anyone else feel that their URL should be cocic.gro ?
Not GP, but if you put the whole website on a git repo people can contribute easily (I can somehow imagine you may not too keen on handing things over to Github or something centralised like that, but surely you can have a self-hosting option)
Obviously not a scam (I doubt most people would call political science as scam either), but the question is, is it a science?
How to Identify the Key Issues Related to Securing Corporate Information
I wish I could figure out what chain the main example is about.
I like the connectors that were used on the Capsela toys. The two mating parts were identical, each with three prongs. It looks like a radiation symbol that is missing the center dot.

An interesting property is that there would be no need to carefully match the diameter.
I think you also understand already that if you're not properly informed, you're not really consenting. This is like putting super small text in a contract and then saying "but you signed it!". On some level most people feel that this isn't a genuine dealing and that it isn't fair. Let's not muddy those waters by arguing about whether or not US law thinks it's OK to take advantage of people in this way (the only reason I mention this at all is that these discussions usually devolve into that and it's incredibly tiresome).

One of the most depressing moments I've experienced was when I was still in school and we did a charity thing for a month where we'd go to the local homeless shelter and help out with various tasks and interact with the homeless people who would come by the shelter.

The reason it was depressing wasn't what you'd expect, I had expected to feel sorry for them but in turned out that the vast vast majority of them were perfectly happy to be homeless they had no want for a better life, they just wanted handouts and felt entitled to them, it was really a strange experience that stuck with me.
