I'm not going to lie if something is badly presented or mediocre. I don't think that helps the team that made it or the quality of HN.

I don't want people to be sad or hurt either.

Sometimes it looks like something is opportunistic or scammy. In that case you flag it. If something seems clueless and doesn't seem to have a lot of work or thought behind it I hope people want to help when they level harsh criticism. In these cases people need direction and it's a case where guidance or mentorship might help. It's so important to do this with care.

I’m not sure how it’s relevant. If you have the infrastructure to send 1000 concurrent users you can probably send 1M concurrent users. We only test small integer multiples of our peak traffic, and if your absolute number of servers to service that is in the millions then it would make absolute sense to be routinely running that capacity test. If that means “scale up 1M+ servers” then that is what you have to do, otherwise how can you be sure?
The market reacted because it’s priced for perfection. Any bump in the road will cause a reaction. Its PE was at 300 which is pretty insane.

If you are going for a polar orbit (ie. circling from one pole to the other), any initial speed you pick up from the rotation of the earth will need to be cancelled out by burning fuel.

So the further north (or south) you go, the lower that speed is (since you are closer to the rotation axis).

If you’re going for an equatorial orbit, that initial speed is helping you, so you maximise it by launching as far away from the axis as possible (ie. somewhere close to the equator).
All monitoring has that problem :-) But if your rate of rate of change has been positive for some suitable amount of time for the context, it's worth waking a human up over it, because the amount of resource remaining is dwindling exponentially.
I used FreeBSD on a laptop for a year. The only problem was suspend/resume which I never got going. When I mention this people say they have gotten it working, so probably it's me failing at it. But if I knew I could get it working, I'd switch back without giving it a second thought, by far the best experience using a Unixy OS I had so far.
Another scary line in that wiki is:

> The book emphasizes that Russia must spread Anti-Americanism everywhere: "the main 'scapegoat' will be precisely the U.S."

Whether Putin has no influence over Trump, total control or anywhere in between - his actions and rhetoric during the campaign guaranteed this outcome if he were elected.
I noticed this effect before to. I took an IQ test and printed the results. Later on, I was encouraged to do another test. I did the same test, but remembered some of the answers so i was able to finish it faster and have more time to think about the more complex tests. Then it dawned on me, taking the test twice, or more than twice, would give me bad results because I was adapting to the problems and solutions. It turns out I misunderstood some of the tests (you could match sideways on a few visuals which I didn't know) so my score improved. If I kept at it, I could probably have a perfect IQ -- but totally bullshit results.

The answer is we don't know (and I'd suspect the tendency to believe it was men is simply a result of assumption based on modern gender roles) but there is some research pointing to both sexes being initially involved in early hunting and the division of roles emerging later (possibly with agriculture, possibly before).

From a study[0][1] of contemporary hunter-gatherer tribes:

> In the Philippines population, women are involved in hunting and honey collecting and while there is still a division of labour, overall men and women contribute a similar number of calories to the camp. In both groups, monogamy is the norm and men are active in childcare.

From another study[2][3] on the emergence of division of labour:

> We argue that the typical patterns of labor division emerged relatively recently in human evolutionary history [...]

> gender roles were not always the same in early-human cultures, and there's nothing that predisposes either sex toward certain kinds of work.

> "That women sometimes become successful hunters and men become gatherers means that the universal tendency to divide subsistence labor be gender is not solely the result of innate physical or psychological differences between the sexes; much of it has to be learned,"

That is similar to the answer I came up with in high school, about 40 years ago.

Artwork, objects of note, curiosities with provenances, tourists, off the grid information that needs to remain _really_ secure, spies, traitors, patriots, displaced peoples, artefacts bound to a religious, gifts, bodies, deceased bodies, prenatal bodies, slaves, sex objects, objects of devotion, objects of derision, pariahs.

I actually wrote a short story about a trade empire that was built by a race of aliens (they looked like lizards) that had odd religious beliefs that required them to build monasteries all over the galaxy, and staff them with praying monks.

The monk's duties were very simple, each day they had to silently read from a small paper prayer, then burn the strip of paper over a candle. The rest of the day they partied, got drunk, had sex (monks could be of either gender), or wrote non-prayer literature.

Writing prayers was an unforgivable sin, the prayers had to come from the home planet. There was a huge fleet of trade ships created to deliver the paper prayer strips in bulk.

In return for the land for the monasteries, the alien lizards would give rides on their space fleet. They had single use vouchers that went from point to point, and they had travel passes which allowed general travel. Basically a bus pass for the galaxy. And since they had a monopoly on FTL ships, they delivered mail.

One day the prayer ships stopped coming. Everybody goes bananas. Nobody travels. Economies collapse.

Plus somebody has to feed the monks, and keep them entertained or else they go on party binges. Can't let them starve, because the ships might start coming again.

A generation later the ships start showing up again. No explanation given, and it's impolite to ask. The kind of impolite that gets you cut out of the prayer circuit.

That was all backstory, the actual story starts with an undercover agent from Earth getting sent to the lizard homeworld to try and find out WTF. He only has partial passage and a small consignment of trade goods. The backstory got backfilled as the agent wheeled and dealed his way towards the home world. I did have an ending, but I think I'll not spoil it in case I ever want to try and rewrite the story.

My 17 year old prose stank, unsurprisingly; even at that tender age I could smell it. Not sure I can do better now, but who knows.
US has lots of its specific problems, but here we're really talking about an issue which affects universities worldwide almost universally - that university degrees became a differentiator on the job market. The vast majority of undergrads these days are not seeking advanced education or trying to push the state of the art forward - they attend universities to get a piece of paper and some skills that'll land them a better job. As universities compete for students and are (indirectly) graded by how well they prepare them for jobs, a feedback loop has formed that slowly but surely turns undergraduate education into vocational one, usually to great dismay of the professors.

Ah, the neverending cycle.

1. The existing tool is way too complicated to configure and slow. Let me introduce a new, zero-configuration, blazing fast tool

2. OK so because it's strongly opinionated there are some things it can't do. So we'll allow you to extend it via plugins. You'll have to configure this.

3. Due to the increasing popularity, we are making a meta-version that lets you re-plug any element in the entire system with one of your own choosing. You'll have to configure this.

4. GOTO 1.
You're saying the "pointless legislation" had a point. Just not one that you agree with.

This is a guess, but I suspect the point had to do with data privacy. Maybe someone wrote legislation that prohibits public websites from hosting ads, or third party browser-tracking software. And google maps fits that.

In the parent comment, there's also this bit:

If true, this is an example of government regulations working as intended, and saving money.

Tokenized securities are like a record of ownership, written and maintained on a ledger. They are like normal shares, governed by securities laws of the land. They could have dividends and could trade between two parties. Not sure what exactly you are asking?
That's nonsense.

What you are saying is that Fair Use cannot be utilized, because the hosting company is somehow violating copyright.

That is the same nonsensical logic that is used against MegaUpload and bittorrent; the same nonsensical logic that Youtube's Content Protection system is based on; the same nonsensical logic that drives DRM.

The world is not better when copyright holders are able to compel a third party to win their disputes. Unfortunately, that is the world we live in.

Do they really need 1 million servers? Many of my friends who work at other tech companies need such few servers in comparison even with significantly high traffic that just screams massive inefficiencies...which seems wrong.

Current drones have sophisticated flying capabilities already. The X-47B was the first done to fly to and land on a carrier. It did so five years ago. Unlike the other drones in use by the military, the X-47B is not piloted, but is described as semi-autonomous and is even capable of autonomous in flight refueling. It is much larger than other military drones and more comparable to a manned fighter. Only the most skilled pilots can land on an aircraft carrier (the time I was flown out to a carrier it took the pilot several passes to catch the arresting wires) so the fact that a drone can do so with only minimal human direction indicates the very impressive computer managed flight control that has already been achieved by drones.

The X-47B is a major accomplishment in done aeronautics, from [1]:

> In March 2014, the X-47B won the 57th Annual Laureate Award for “extraordinary achievements” in aeronautics and propulsion hosted by Aviation Week. On 9 April 2014, the National Aeronautic Association selected Northrop Grumman, the United States Navy, and the X-47B's development team as the joint recipients of the 2013 Collier Trophy for excellence in aeronautic technology.

From [2], “The X-47B is the world's first autonomous warplane. From takeoff through landing, it flies with little or no direct control from human handlers.”

I'd like to upvote this twice. I love articles that explain scientific principles in a way that I could explain them to my 11 year old daughter. This article is a perfect example, balancing the equations that I want to see with the text that she needs to grasp the concept without understanding the equations. These random never-thought-about-the-physics-behind-that articles are terrific.
Well I think the idea and world you’ve described is awesome, so I encourage you to give it another go if
you have the time!
1kg matter at 0.1c has a kinetic energy of 4.5x10^14 J

It is certainly very expensive to spend this amount of energy. But is it also extremely challenging to even extract this out of an engine that has to accelerate itself.

1kg matter at 0.995c has a kinetic energy of 8x10^17 J

This is the amount of enery you get if you convert 9kg in pure enery. That seems impossible to reach, even with an anti matter drive.

Moore v. Regents of the University of California Says that parts of your own body are no longer "yours" after a surgical procedure.

It would not be a long leap to make the argument that since the onus of disposal is on the municipal waste treatment company that your effluent becomes "theirs" as soon as it enters municipal sewage systems.

I'm not saying it makes sense, but I've given up on thinking the government will let something like that stand in their way if they get their knickers in a twist.

And the whole "unless it is in use by the general public test" is blatant overreach. It's just a way to sneak in new ways to get around 4th Amendment protections through creative interpretation.

That is fascinating. Which civilizations were these, and where can I read about them? Did they think that because there were civilizational collapses earlier in human history?

Miserly is highly correlated with controlling. I appreciate your ability to consider your friend's point of view but you may at some point in the future decide that they are just an incredible asshole.
Come up with an alternative solution. Promote it. Watch it trend and devolve from a real solution to a cargo cult. Repeat.
Data races like that can only happen when you share mutable state across logical flows of control. Don't share mutable state, regardless of your concurrency framework. I don't see how explicit vs implicit yield points change this fact. Either way there's precisely one logical flow of control that should own your data. In a language like Rust this is strongly enforced, regardless.

Futhermore, in any complex asynchronous I/O app most functions will end up being tagged async. The only ones that won't are simple leaf functions that wouldn't implicitly yield, anyhow. If someone has the bad idea to, e.g., put a yield point in non-obvious leaf functions as part of some kind of hack (e.g. logging, tracing), they're gonna do it in the async/await case, too, because they're already convinced it has value. Having to a drop a few more annotations here or there won't stop them from breaking the app.

Lastly, the bugs that do occur in these sorts of cases usually have to do with unpredictable latencies violating implicit or accidental ordering assumptions. async/await doesn't mitigate that at all because latencies are just as unpredictable. The solution, as always, is to avoid these ordering dependencies by not sharing mutable state.

This defense of async/await is a red herring.

Just like your comment.

Clearly a lot of people have put good work into this project, and have decided it adds value to their workflow and your first reaction is to sling mud. Maybe try reddit.
And it's not just the subpar discovery features. It's the combination of awful discovery and their abysmal recommendation engine that renders exploration impossible. When will those engines understand that I'm not interested in every mediocre drug/crime/sports/[any other broad topic] documentary just because I watched this one exceptionally good documentary that happened to deal with the topic Netflix now decides to push down my throat?

I want outstanding content regardless of topic and these days Netflix seems to be delivering less of that or at the very least makes it incredibly hard to find in a sea of mediocre content.
Do you know enough C++ to try that? I'd be really interested to see the results - I'm not sure language is the bottleneck.
There are lots of things wrong with OneDrive which is what you will be using. Off the top of my head: no delta sync; no LAN sync. End result was that every single file change will result in your the entire file being uploaded to the web and your ENTIRE team downloading it again ... Can't remember the others, but it was enough for me to continue with DropBox despite the rising cost when recently compared to OneDrive.
I do this too, sometimes I just don't want to listen to other people in the other.
Oh boy, someone believes in the startup myth.

A massive part of the success of such startups are connections, connections, connections.

The product itself doesn't matter that much, considering all the pivoting. Nor does making a profit, considering all the startups still burning VC money.

Yes, there is certainly an amount of skill necessary, but the scrappy startup that suceeds against all odds is a fairytale. Luck, connections and moral flexibility play an equally or more important part.
