I'm pretty sure it's allowed, it's just that you'll get caught in every spam filter. I don't know if they've considered that problem, or they're just hoping that using the same IPs long-term will fix the problem in reputation-based blacklists.
Ouch, I loved weather underground. What's a good alternative then?

I loved that I could just use the weather station down the street and always had very accurate weather predictions. When it says it rains, it actually rains right where I am, unlike other weather services.

Also curious to see what CARROT Weather will replace it with.
Love this idea, is there a business version?
In my view, there's a difference between letting people say stupid things, and letting people deliberately say misleading things that are clearly for the purpose of influencing an election (spreading the wrong election date.)

I don't see anything wrong with Twitter not tolerating people spreading the wrong election date because 'free speech, don't be so offended'.

This is what I would expect, but in some places state tries hard to force self-employed consultants into permanent positions (not sure how France works in this regard). And if you mean external company consultants, they are not much cheaper.

They say the units will be stackable to increase storage capacity. The form factor seems suitable to that. Seems like it would also allow airflow on the bottom side without visible vents.

>Teaching is not the same as doing, or coaches would be players.

I think that's a terrible example that doesn't support your point as well. Coaches aren't players because they physically don't have the aptitude for it. I was in high school: the coaches can't be players there for the simple reason that they're not teenagers and students any more, they're too old. Same goes for college. In pro sports, the coaches are generally older, and never have the physical traits the pro players have. The coaches get into it because they love the sport and are good at the coaching part, not because they don't want to play.

>A person doesn't need to be well-educated or have a high IQ to be level-headed, patient, tolerant, and loving.

You don't need a high IQ to be well-educated in a particular field. Most college-educated people have average intelligence. And being patient, tolerant, and loving aren't sufficient for being a good parent, though they help a lot. Conversely, lots of parents these days are definitely NOT patient, tolerant, or loving. So why do we allow them to be parents? They're scarring their children, and the effects of that traumatic experience continue for generations.

That story just illustrates how insane things have gotten.

Maajid goes "hey I'm a member of this group, I want to improve our culture/religion" and is labeled an extremist.

Meanwhile others from this group are raping children and the only thing that is said is "oh it's their culture, don't be so racist".

That helps check that you don't receive spam (and even so, rspamd is much weaker when applied to only one account). It doesn't fix sending other people what looks like spam.

> Would you distinguish satire from impersonation? ... is clearly self-identifying as a satire of Donald Trump. Nobody is going to confuse that account with the real one.

> But suppose hoards of people with political opinions you detest start creating accounts that pose as "your side", using the worst possible arguments for your positions, insulting everyone, and making "your side" look stupid and cruel.

Personally I'd distinguish satire from impersonation in this case as the banned accounts have:

- Grey flat colored faces

- A nose made out out of two straight black lines

- The username "npc" followed by a number

For example, every avatar the image underneath the headline in the article linked to in this page:

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2018/10/17/business/17NPC/17...

It's not a particularly subtle distinction.

> making "your side" look stupid

Just wanted to quote that again.
Creating an Advisor to Check for SELinux and Meltdown/Spectre Part 2
I believe the article attempts to account for your concern.
Eh, I've seen a few examples of pages with good vertical rhythm and it's pretty incredible. I think the key is (1) it obviously works with certain types of content better than others (articles, etc), and (2) rigidly adhering to the rhythm is literally impossible merely due to flexible images, so vertical rhythm is best applied as a guideline rather than a rule.
Unlocking the “Mystery” of Consciousness
One could not, really. E2E encryption does not mean peer to peer. Most messenging services use a client server model. You can easily use identifiers without ever collecting personal data.

Nobody knows for sure of course unless you have access to the relevant code but Apple is at least not in the business of selling data to advertisers or needs to bolster their budget with buy in from data mining companies.

I’m surprised to hear that pilots are in short supply. I started learning to fly as a hobby and I saw many videos about how hard it is to get a job at a commercial airline. I got the impression that there is more supply than there is demand.
Is Lab-Grown Meat Ready for Dinner?
The first time I saw that thing I just thought "That just can't be valid C syntax". It's quite an amazing hack that seems ugly at first but seems more and more elegant the more you think about it.

These days compilers usually do loop unrolling on their own, so the device has mostly lost its purpose, but it can apparently also be used to implement something similar to coroutines in C, which is nice.
Note, that the article's recommendation is wrong, we pretty much never need 3, as article suggests. We make lists for a reason, we want them to be easily distinguishable from the rest of the text. We don't want to disrupt the flow by confusing people when they read a next line and don't yet realize it's a list, because a bullet is not placed where they pay attention to. We want people to realize they are about to read a list and process it appropriately, not as a paragraph. Maybe they even want to skip it entirely for now and continue with the text below to avoid breaking context.
Agree that that is BIG assumption. I just didn't want to bring all the misinformation issue in to the discussion. IMHO, It is better to be uninformed than misinformed.
AT&T in the midwest US just blocked port 25 a few months ago. My nightly e-mails for system updates stopped coming in, and now I either have to shuttle them through an authenticated submission port or pump them over a VPN to my e-mail server. :-/

Hear me out here; Apple's Swift Playgrounds on an iPad.

I'm involved in an extracurricular thing in Scotland focused on giving kids an environment they can figure out computers. We've seen a lot of different approaches to the problem of "how can we get kids to code", and Swift Playgrounds is consistently where we see youngfolk making the most progress.

It gives you a nice, guided framework to get the very basics of programming, and slowly gives you more and more "rope" to play with, ultimately leading you to move your projects to Xcode on a Mac.

Swift may not be your favourite language, and Apple are totally doing this with a view to people becoming iOS/MacOS developers (not necessarily a bad thing), but Swift Playgrounds is definitely best-in-class when it comes to having kids teach themselves how to program. The integration with real-life robots and drones is really impressive, too; the kids absolutely love being able to write real code that makes a real robot do things, it's exceptionally motivational.
If you are proxying the content with a VPN with a static IP on an EC2 instance you cannot police people sending out spam as you cannot see and meter the SMTP traffic. So does everyone get a dedicated instance and IP? If that is the case people are going to have issues getting their email accepted by almost all providers due to the IP being new and on a cloud provider block. If it is a subset of IPs that you create a reputation for and comply with DKIM, SPF etc how are you going to keep it from getting ruined by bad actors?

I am glad you are doing this because running a mail server is non trivial. I have done it for a long time now and love the fact that I own my email identity. It is one of the few things left you can own online.
Yeah, there is no convenient backup policy that doesn't obviate most of the purported benefits of this device. You have to store your backups somewhere off-site to have any kind of data safety, and unless you're dumping out to tapes or some other physical media and stashing your backups in a safety deposit box, that's going to be a server somewhere.

I would never invest in anything like this because we should all be making strides to kill email not make it better or owning it or building services around 40 year old tech.
If I had to guess, I would guess that React will still be around in 5 years, but I'm not sure web components will. Sure, they may still be a part of the standard, but they might be so obscure that there isn't enough of a community around them to be a feasible option. So I don't think using web-components is the silver bullet you imagine.

Also, I haven't seen a lot of companies saying "Well, Angular is working great for us, but React is hot and trendy so let's rewrite the current UI in it". Rather, I think UI framework switches happen for two reasons:

- They've accumulated so much technical debt with their existing solution that progress has slowed to a crawl, developer morale is really low, etc. A migration strategy can be found that doesn't have such an upfront cost, and will dramatically improve velocity as features are converted.

- The design is totally changing, or the product is being rethought, and so it's not an invisible code rewrite, it's essentially building a new product.

I think in both of these cases, it's a good use of developer time.
Canada Makes Marijuana Legal, and a National Experiment Begins
We discovered by accident how easy it is for kids to stumble into bad things.

We had a computer set up with Windows 98 for the kids to play games (this was a long time ago...). The computer was in the family room so we could always see what was going on, and the kids really did stick to playing games and other benign activities.

One day I watched my youngest to see what he was doing as he sat down to use the computer. He was about 5 or 6 at the time, and he would open up a web browser and type "sonic" to search for Sonic the Hedgehog pictures. At the time, at least, this was the kinds of things he would find, and I'm not aware of the kids stumbling into anything awful. But another term they used often was "chao" for the little creatures that you care for in the Sonic Adventure games, and since that can also be a name, other material would eventually come up as well.

We quickly realized that this had the potential to lead them into bad territory. It was an eye-opening experience. Seeing what's going on on YouTube these days is whole new level of scary.
Ask HN: How fast is an AWS auto scaling group?
I have been struggling to find an answer to this simple question. What is the rate at which new instances can be created in an autoscaling group?

Let's say if there is a sudden spike in traffic, and I need to go from 50 EC2 instances to 300. How long would it take (lets assume a pre-baked AMI). If every EC2 takes x minutes to start up, in how much time will my auto scaling group achieve the target size? Will all 250 instances be started up in parallel ?
As part of my work on motioncomics.io, I'm experimenting with different types of techniques to read digital comics on the web. I came across the cutscenes of the Gravity Rush games on YouTube, such as this one: https://youtu.be/HL9Vp5HYpJ4?t=17m13s, and thought I'd build a web version of this.

This is the result. It's written with HTML, CSS and Javascript and hosted it on Netlify. I hope you folks like it!

Raspberry PI cab be said to be evolved from a ~ power-on-to-BASIC computer; to wit: the (BBC) Acorn Archimedes. You can still get RISC OS for it even. Basically, you power on; hit F12;

Ideally the manual process should require ID verification live and in-person, not over the phone. This raises the bar for an attacker from "has to have access to the Equifax hacked database" to "has to get a decent fake ID made before their appointment with the ID verification people."

Quicksort ( especially implemented in a functional language like haskell ). It's a perfect mix of an elegant algorithm and a beautiful implementation. Simple, elegant, beautiful and powerful. What more can you want in an algorithm.

Not where you specifically saw it, but in aggregate they can track things like purchase volume after a specific ad airs in a specific market or what was advertised in the circular, etc. They could vary things slightly by market as well to help pinpoint what's most impactful.
These responses seem kind of formulaic and bland. I don't know why but I expected something juicier - these are mostly just people realising they need to move on, for the same reasons most of us do.
I'd actually say the blame here should be on the Note. It would seem fairly insane for web designers to have to consider that the margins of their pages may be on some bezeled edge.
If you are not well versed in company structures, than maybe you really loose control. But that depends of you.

In a LLC/LIMITED company you as shareholder/member of the company, decide of your structure. So if you do decide that you give up some shares/interest to the investors, then that can be the reason why you would loose the control.

But even if you give up all the shares, by means of controlling the initial articles of organization and operating agreement, you can still remain in full control as manager/director of the company.

In case of Limited Partnerships that issue is even better regulated from beginning, as Limited Partnership consists of one or more General Partners who are managers of the business and one or more Limited Partners who are usually investors, but cannot manage the business and often cannot even replace the General Partners.

The issue is simple.

What you decide is what you get in the end.
> but really nothing much has changed in those states

the cash-only nature of the businesses (because of ongoing federal restrictions on banking for people engaged in activity the feds consider illegal) caused an ecosystem for cash handling to spring up along the front range in colorado.

that made it a somewhat more fertile area for organized crime, and so the cartels are more active than they were. and they can't sell pot, so they're selling heroin.

(beats me if the news has covered this, go talk to some denver cops or something.)
> people deliberately say misleading things for purpose of influencing an election

Well there goes every political campaign ever.

All jokes aside, these days it doesn't matter if it's the media, the campaigns themselves, the supporters - it's not about the facts, it's not about anything real, it's just about spreading misleading shit faster than it can be fact checked.

It's an issue on the right, it's an issue on the left. One may be worse than the other, but it doesn't mean it's better, it's just marginally less shitty.
If you're giving out millions of dollars, you'll drown in spammy suggestions. Filtering it through a personal network is an old, effective way to limit it to those people more likely to be genuine.

Which is a shame for the reasons you say - it limits it to the old boys' network.
I found it just now using the iOS app Libby which links to my local library card and allows me to check it out for two weeks.
I wonder if they check that the IP addrs they use are in good standing with the large mail receivers or if they somehow pre-warm the IP with "good" email.
This was my first thought as well. My email IS very important to me which is exactly why I will never host it locally. The only content I host locally-only is stuff I would be annoyed to lose but could replace, the only content I host locally with online backup is stuff I can do without for a couple of days while I recover. Email falls into neither of those categories, I need it to be up all the time. I have considered fastmail or similar but I will never trust my home connection.
You can send email from an EC2 instance but good luck getting anyone to accept it. A lot of email providers block EC2 wholesale, or if they do accept it you are going to have to have a long standing reputation.
The cloud ultimately is someone else's computer, abstracted away to feel good. Data loss occurs in the cloud too and it sucks.

It's also dangerous to say because you don't understand or see the value in something, that there possibly can't be any.

Today's home connectivity + LTE fail over is reasonable to rely on. One could put a vps proxy in front of it if you really wanted.

Running a home appliance is not out of the question or unreasonable. I have a Mac mini server that is coming on 8 years of age and zero issues.

Today, the combination of Ubuntu, docker, and ready to go setups make it super easy. Offsite backups are not an issue anymore. Running owncloud is good for files locally, but email is worth it in some cases.

We own a lot of appliances at home that have a lifecycle to maintain already.

The reality is the above issues have a much lower chance of happening than 10-15 years ago.

Hardware is far more reliable and than it was, my 15 year old servers pulled from my data center were still working when I virtualized.

A discovery I made was owning a PDU (like an APC Masterswitch) cleans the electricity so much enough that attached equipment don't seem to fail. I ran my own email server in a datacentre for clients for a long time because it was the norm.

With Home Automation adoption increasing I suspect a home appliance of some kind will become a reality anyways. If personal data became a feature of it, that would be useful.
Sorry, I didn't explain what golmaal means in English, also may have used the wrong word. I meant something like skullduggery, but golmaal means chaos or confusion (according to Quora, at least).

> And usually with a residential account you don't get a static IP as an option, but if you're lucky you can pay extra for one.

I use a VPS as a proxy. SSH with AutoSSH. I use a VPS ($15/yr), map the ports from the VPS to the server at home.

For example, when you hit 80/443 on the VPS, it's routed to a reverse proxy in the apartment, then to the correct service.

Not a bad setup.

Whiteboard Interviews Absolutely Terrify You: Survey
I've met a number of people (all American, so I infer it's due to some American news sources) that believe Canadians are arrested on a regular basis for flimsy and arbitrary claims of hate speech, and those arrests are political. The same people tend to believe we wait six months and probably die before getting cancer treatment because of our socialized medical system.

So chalk it up to Canada being used in the partisan ratings war that seems to dominate news nowadays.
