How precisely can a person who isn't in the top half of the population move from where the majority of work is to an area where jobs aren't and how are they to afford even what you describe as minimum expenses.

Then there are things like medical expenses, debt, family members in need of support.
People want that acceleration in something that is not a 'good nimble sports car', so a Porsche SUV is nearer the mark, or, a generation ago, a hot hatch.

There is a rough measure of power going on with these status symbols. Everyone would be driving Ariel Atoms and Caterham Lotus 7 cars or Mazda Miatas if 'good nimble sports car' really satisfied what was allegedly wanted.

So the 'what do you want, what are you trying to achieve' aspect of owning that fancy car that can do silly speeds has to have more to it than that thrill of acceleration. It is about where you see yourself in the world - status.

Looks like SQLite used the sanitizers, and a new tool still found plenty UB.

I believe the SQLite auther verified the compiler output for the UB found, and saw it had no impact in practice, so there was no critical bug yet. Then he fixed the UB anyhow.

Last paragraph was from vague memories, not from the article, BTW. I would welcome better links.
My old university dorm internet was like that. There were 3 or 4 time zones per day, and only the few hours in the middle of the night were unlimited, otherwise iirc 500GB/month, measured by double and iirc. even triple-counting during prime time and such. For some reasons they were rather oversubscribed, offering 1000BASE-T in the dorms (with some L2 crypto auth), but only had 10Gbit/s fiber uplink in a few dorms. Considering they already had active equipment on both sides, this shouldn't be much of a problem though.
I specifically picked an example of a malware that was capable of reading arbitrary files, but not arbitrary memory because the authors found a simple way to trick users into granting them this permission set, but not another.

A sandbox escape that allows the attacker to trick the browser into sending arbitrary files back is also substantially different to having malware on your system that can read arbitrary memory.
I don't think the price of the equipment is very relevant. The same procedure (using a probe) costs €100 in a private hospital in my EU country.
Congratulation on launching! I built DocsApp to solve similar pain point. For documentation hub, performance is a feature :). Feel free to contact me (email in my profile) to chat.
Breaking out of poverty requires a mindset that not everyone can acquire. Given the opportunities that the U.S. has you would think that there would be NO poverty. Yet there is. At a very simple level, you would think that working hard and saving your money would get you to a higher economic plane. But to get to that point you need to be able to learn how it's done and not lock yourself into situations that will make it so much harder to scape out of the bottom such as teen pregnancy, gangs, drugs, alcohol, and even bad role models.

The biggest problem is role models. If your family or friends live a certain way then you tend to copy them unless you're able to think differently or have someone to advise you thru your early years.

Not only that, getting out of poverty is a long-term process that requires hard work in the right areas. But even hard work is not enough. I can do very hard work all my life at a minimum wage job and never get ahead.

At a very basic level getting out seems very simple. All people need to do is to study to get a good job and work hard. But in reality, that's not enough. You need the support system and the right mindset to get you out. Many people can do it but as we see over and over many people can't.

I think that throwing jobs and money at the problem is not the solution. What will work is to consult young families and young kids that are at risk on what they need to do to get ahead plus the support system that will help. This needs to be done not once but for years and on a regular basis. It would be similar to a regular check up the way we visit the doctor or dentist and get advice on what to do.
The ethical thing could also be to not allow anyone to be abused.
Ask HN: Experiences taking time off to study?
I'm a software engineer currently taking a break from regular work to travel the world for a year or so (no real time constraint other than not wanting my career to die). I was thinking of setting up somewhere cheap in Southeast Asia with a digital nomad scene and spending some time working on my skills/projects - maybe a month or so. I have a few specific companies I would like to work for in the future so I had the idea to spend that time working on associated skills and contributing to their OS projects. This would be a non-profitable endeavour (i.e. I wouldn't be working on a money-producing side project) and I would be spending about $1000/mo to do it.

I do code in my own time back home and the main limiter is not having enough time in the day, or energy after a full work week writing job code, so I don't think staying on target would be difficult.

Has anyone done something like this? Did it help your career, or you personally, to do it? Would you recommend it?
Support your position please.

* I simply use OfflineImap[1] to backup my mailboxes to a share on my NAS.

* I was lucky and did not have to search for too long since my webhoster of choice (Hetzner) also offers colo in the country I'm living.

* I use my setup located in Germany from the US a few times a year and when a friend of mine was in China he used my VPN and a dedicated storage pod as well.

It did not feel like one of us was bothered by the slightly increased latency. But I also do not care about the speed of my terminal rendering characters that much, so maybe I am not sensitive enough to latency to give a useful data point.

Ask HN: Where to find a business or life coach? Seriously stuck, need help
The short version of my life is that I drove my career into a dead-end. Always dreamed of having a start-up but never got anywhere. In between my projects I worked as a freelancer. Also lived in different countries.

I tried many things but never concentrated on one thing. This was fine in the past, but now in my end-forties and with one young kid, I am seriously stuck in my career.

I feel that I lack any sense of "business smarts" and just running around in circles. This has turned my life into a depression and it becomes more and more difficult to see a way out.

I need help but not sure where to get it.

I consider therapy but I think what I need is career or business advice. Best a combination of both.

Anyone in a similar situation? Where did you find help?

Many thanks.

Drones are not only quad-copters, they can be fixed wing too and then the noise goes way down. Also much more energy efficient to fly with fixed wing than eight propellers. And higher speed too.
> How can such a large country suffer from a bigger housing crisis

Because we don't just provide things to people because they are struggling or starving. They have to be literally dying, or appear to be in medical distress, and then we send a fire truck as a first responder, and then they go to the emergency room because we waited until they were dying to provide care, and then we rack up unpayable bills that raise health care prices.

I mean, we create the conditions that cause homelessness, and then literally criminalize the homeless. If that doesn't tell you how little of a shit we give about people in distress, I don't know what will.

America is a land of plenty only for people that already have plenty.
>"5G? Why?"

It depends. As you can read from the replies, 4G in different market has different situations. The main theme of 5G will be bringing more capacity, and lower running cost for carriers ( At least that is what they said, I am not convinced on this matter ) . Top Speed is no longer a major selling point anymore, they want more Data, and 5G will bring anywhere from 5x to 10x capacity improvements. In theory, that should mean US telecoms has incentive to provide much Data for the same price, and EU citizens will enjoy higher speed as their Data package are cheap already.

The good thing abut 5G is, for possibly the first time in history Carrier is well prepared in technology stack than consumer counterparts, may of the carriers are installing and upgrading to 5G equipment now, but they are for now running 4G signals. All of them ( not just Ericsson, Nokia and Huawei ) allow software update to enable 5G signals. Those equipment already provides better LTE performance, making 4G and 5G transition much smoother. Every step from 2G > 3G > 4G were like revolution, 5G was more of a evolution of 4G.
Why do you think they got that habit to begin with? And frankly if you believe that a significant majority of the poor in America (or any other developed country) have multiple hundreds of dollars per day drug addictions, frankly I question how much experience you actually have with either the poor or drug addicts.
"Well it may work for you but this study suggests that it might not work for everyone so you're an idiot and you should stop taking it"
Is your argument: "If you enjoy your job, you want to do it all the time, and less job == less enjoyment"?

If it is, may I humbly suggest that scarcity does not reduce enjoyment, and that looking forward to something can actually increase your enjoyment of it when you do get to do it.
In Europe, the manual/automatic situation is quite the opposite of that in the USA. Here all standard, cheap cars are manual, and only the expensive luxury cars have automatic transmissions. (At least in the Netherlands) driving lessons/tests must done in manual cars, unless you have some medical reason not to (then you'll also get a note on your license, prohibiting you from driving manual cars).

Automatic transmissions are therefore regarded as either boring, or for people who do not have the skills to drive a manual.

I drive a car with an automatic transmission and people always ask me why I'd drive a 'boring' car. Then I explain it is actually 'sporty' because it has paddle shifters (which I never use), and suddenly it becomes acceptable again.
Very interesting. Saved for later - I may need to dig a bit deeper into this at some point. I have moved Gmail to Fastmail but the server and NAS-setup is interesting.

Is it possible to get "safe enough" NAS devices at this time?
I live in Europe, in a country without Amazon, however I often travel to the UK so I've had a few opportunities to use their services.

My experiences have been very mixed. The website, in my opinion, is a mess. It's extremely hard to find things unless you know specifically what brand and model you're looking for. Even then you might find that someone decided to sell that item for an inflated price.

Generally when you're browsing for something you want but haven't decided on an exact brand and model yet then discoverability is terrible and listings become irrelevant pretty soon after scrolling down. Even trying to find a gaming laptop for a friend to buy is a useless endeavour.

Shipping within the UK also seems to be terribly implemented: more often than not your packages are going to get lost, misdelivered, forcing you to fight for the goods you've already paid for and potentially get them way too late if you want them by a specific date. In August, when I was visiting, they managed to misdeliver 4 items I ordered and it's always Amazon's delivery team that messes up.

The only reason I really like them is the book market and second-hand book market. It's great to be able to buy so many books at such great prices.

In my own country, however, e-retail seems way more sophisticated: discovery, delivery and reliability are king. They optimise the listings for you to be able to browse and find things efficiently, to discover stuff you want quickly. And it's very rare for the shipping to take more than 1 day, unless there's a seasonal event like Christmas/New Year's. So I buy with confidence and I browse knowing that I'll usually find what I'm looking for. When it comes to buying from Amazon while I'm visiting the UK - I always expect issues. And they always happen.

There is such a thing as torrent though. Make initial reputation come from e.g. some crypto mining sufficient to fund the bandwidth costs from loosing the block to an uncooperative peer, and then handle reputation based on share ratio, either theoretical or measured.
Is the fake stuff a problem in the EU, or is it an artefact of poor consumer law?
Why do these articles always start with a story about a person? I see this in nearly all articles from american news papers. It's strange.

Seems like a paper from a young student who needs to get his 3000 wordcount.

It just bloats the article and makes it difficult to get the information out of it.

When most people are connected to the cloud we will no longer need public security cameras, there will be someone on site automatically uploading what they saw.
I am not sure how in US but here in Czechia manual cars are considerably cheaper than automatic cars. I think many people drive manual for economic reasons.
I remember Frontpage 98 along with Outlook 98 they were offered as free upgrades from older versions. I had Frontpage 97 and Outlook 97.

For programming, I used Visual Interdev which resembled Microsoft Visual Code more than Frontpage. Visual Interdev was part of the Visual Studio package.
Maybe not someone in a garage, but Alibaba and Tenecent are coming up behind them, and once they set up fulfillment centers in the States (to solve the fast shipping), Amazon may lose a lot of ground very quickly.

Also ebay and Walmart are hardly unknown, and as people get more fed up with the fakes on Amazon, they know where to look.

Incidentally, I kinda prefer to shop at Alibaba where I know it will be fake then on Amazon or Walmart where I can fall into the trip of thinking it is real (because it might be...).

No, just a low blow to the circlejerk that occurs here every time that thing is posted (i.e. every week).
"WebMaster". I see this term a lot in older sites. "WebMasters click here !" sort of links.

What does it really mean? The term.
They do in fact broadcast information to teammates [1] in recent versions:

> OpenAI Five sends 512 such values every couple of milliseconds

I think one of the challenges to making the bots play realistic Dota would be to limit this passage of information. I would say only one bot can talk every time period (say 1.5 seconds) and minimum time before new information is broadcast is >0.5 seconds.

People are humans, they relate to individual stories more than raw statistics.

I think it's great, it shows there's always a human side to trends and large statistics.
And only the wealthy can enjoy all experiences, like drinking and drugs, according to some of the other commenters here. These threads always remind me that most of us here don’t have a background of poverty and struggle.

I thought the pre-edit version of your comment was more interesting. Debate is a very different thing from scientific research. I think debates have better outcomes when you follow a few rules (civility, charity, a focus on possible solutions that benefit all parties). The rules for scientific R&D are different.

But whether the "enlightenment project" benefits from simply making complaints is a valid question. I still think the answer is no, or at least that if you're going to make a complaint, your position is improved by proposing a solution for discussion. I concede that it might be possible to make an effective and evidence-based counterargument, but are there meaningful social movements which have been based solely on complaining about stuff with no action platform?

This is the most ridiculous proof that America is the land of opportunity I can imagine.

From https://www.wola.org/analysis/fact-sheet-united-states-immig...

"While the total number of migrants apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border is near its lowest level since the early 1970s,
the number of apprehended unaccompanied children and families is again on the rise after a dramatic drop in the months following Trump’s inauguration.

This is a vulnerable population who, for the most part, are deliberately seeking out U.S. border security authorities and asking for protection. Affirmative requests for asylum of individuals from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras have increased by 25 percent in fiscal year 2017 compared to 2016.

These people are fleeing for a reason. As White House Chief of Staff John Kelley once put it, the mass migration of children from Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border primarily consists of “[parents that] are trying to save their children.” The countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are facing unparalleled levels of violent crime, with El Salvador and Honduras ranking among the top five most violent countries in the world."
Born in 91, I was the perfect age to be obsessed with Harry Potter. When I was around ten, an older kid in the neighborhood helped me make a Harry Potter themed website using FrontPage (the Express version I think it was named).

It's what we used to call anyone who was a web developer back then. Bit of a mix between a system admin and front-end developer with maybe some perl tinkering in place.
Some of the comments in the thread are the usual HN contrarianism - "oh, this isn't impressive because X, Y, Z".

This is not the case. What OpenAI have accomplished is extraordinary, ~~especially the part where there is no explicit communication between the bots~~ (not true, see below). They managed to coordinate simply by looking at what the others were doing.

Did they make elementary errors? Yes they did. Did they fail to grasp the strategy of avoiding fights that the humans used? Yes they did. The fact is that even a rank amateur like me (90th percentile when I was playing) wouldn't have made those mistakes. But I still strongly believe that what has been achieved so far is nothing short of extraordinary. Judging by their rate of progress[1] I would not be surprised to see them come back in a few months with these problems figured out, capable of beating the best teams.

Quite simply, the person in charge of the web site. In those days, it was likely to be the person who wrote the HTML, wrote the content and set up the web server.

There are still quite a lot of them about in smaller companies - they keep Wordpress patched, post news stories, update pages etc.
The maximum entropy situation is one dog with 6+ bones and lots with none. It is structurally broken at a statistical mechanics level if you are concerned about fairness.
Lots of OpenAI Five bashing going on in this thread. I propose a gaming-bot-realism Turing test: when a group of rank 100 or better players cannot discriminate between human teams and the bot team by watching the game, only then are the bots playing "real Dota 2".
No one was born in the correct lane at the beginning of time. They inserted themselves there at some point. In traffic, the only way they could have done so is to move in front of another driver.

I have this! I found out from a random daytime TV program and did some online tests. I didn’t realise until that point that other people can make clear images of things in their head.

Weirdly I’m actually quite good at drawing something from memory like a bicycle (I love Pictionary!) but I can’t actually make a image of it in my head.

There were sooo many crap webpages created with that software. I used it myself for a while, before I knew better. It produced horrendous, buggy HTML. Table handling was pants - I used to have to hand code tables (used for layout!) to make them work properly. At least we don't have to do that these days... oh, wait, sorry. Ok, we do.
I don't really think that you can form memories only from when you are 2 years old.
I have memories of when they removed the cast from my broken arm and I was probably 1 year and some months.
I drive both a manual and an older (mid 2000s, 5 gears) automatic CVT. The CVT always seems to get me annoyed as if shifts very conservatively. When going up a slope it feels like the engine is having a hard time. Or it's upshifting in the middle of an overtake at 70 kmh when the gearbox is not in 5th. Always makes me switch to manual in those situations. I've also driven a DSG which works great until you have to drive down a mountain road with tight curbs.
Hmm. I'm pretty certain Homesite was out by then which I always felt was the best web IDE. Such a shame what happened to it.
