Moves app, it was a fitness tracker startup, bought by Facebook and recently closed. I was logging all my movements with it as a lifelogging app. It worked pretty well and I had 5 years of my data there. Maybe it wasn't the best fitness tracker app but it was the best movement tracker. Now I am using Gyroscope but the data is kind of lost.

Here is a short FAQ

1. Where is the code?

Here it is:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome

2. Pi-hole?

Pi-hole is awesome! Actually, before AdGuard Home launch it was the only viable option. Now you have a choice.

Also, we named this version "0.9" for a reason. It is just the beginning, and a lot of new features are going to be implemented in the nearest future.

Notable features/differences of the current version:

* AdGuard Home has the same software under the hood as we use for our public AdGuard DNS servers (which are quite popular) so it is ready for the heavy load.

* Simple UI, configure malware/phishing blocking, blocking adult websites or enforcing safe search, all in a couple of clicks.

* It understands adblock rules syntax, so you don't need 10k lines hosts files to block doubleclick subdomains.

* It shows you some metadata about domains, and it's quite interesting to see who really tracks you.

* AdGuard is built on modern tech and written entirely in golang, which makes the further development easier. It is not a set of different tools (like pi-hole), but a single binary - easy to deploy and manage, and it can be compiled for whatever platform you want.

3. Future plans?

It always annoyed me in pi-hole that setting it up as I wish required time and considerable technical expertise. You cannot get a private VPN+pi-hole in one click.

What I want is a simple and easy-to-configure software (or even hardware) that will cover all the basic needs including easy deploy and configuration and one-click set up of a private VPN to use on your mobile devices.

Ideally, in some not-very-distant future, I want my mom to use AG Home, but I can't tell her "hey mom, get an RPi and read this manual about configuring AG Home." I want to be able to give her a device, and say "plug it in and voila" :)

I am fascinated about how less we know overall about the earth, and the solar system. I would not be surprised if we found life in the solar system. May not be advanced, but multi cellular life. I mean life as it was on earth some 10,000 years ago, with early humans and all.

Edit: Sorry I shared my fictitious fascination. It would probably make a good movie, humans finding pre-historic humans on Titan or Europa.
According to the Wikipedia article on expanding bullets [1], "Two typical designs [of expanding bullet] are the hollow-point bullet and the soft-point bullet. [...] The Hague Convention of 1899 [...] prohibits the use of expanding bullets in international warfare"

Yeah looks like they are not doing EE actually. For the degree part, I assumed the point of getting a degree is to find a job. Even though there is no formal degree with this school, you won't have any troubles finding a job.
It might depend on the program (and private universities are not free for Germans either), but I know Chinese nationals at TU Berlin who're not paying any extra fees.
Early humans were pretty damn advanced, at least in terms of biology.
Imagine that TLS 1.3 is found to have a critical flaw and more vulnerable than TLS 1.2. You then set your min/max to 1.2.

Later TLS 1.4 comes out. How can I allow new TLS 1.4 and existing TLS 1.2 clients without allowing TLS 1.3 clients using your method.

The server software would have to be updated to include a blacklist or go back to being an ordered list.
The US government is essentially the only game in town for military hardware and contracting, but I don't think anyone would hold up that procurement system as a model of efficiency.
This looks really nice! That dependency example makes relying on pipenv seem kinda scary, and I really like how it replaces the setup.py too.
A friend had an expunged disorderly conduct when he was 13. We were in our 20s, and were detained by the Canadian border for about 9 hours. Then they escorted us back because of the disorderly.

The second time I got detained was only for 5 hours though. The second time I went in mid to late 20s by myself. After searching my car for 3 hours, they didn't find anything and I was let go.

I hate it.
Show HN: A simple TCP connection monitor library written in Go
Structured, scrutible systems perform really badly on this task and I don’t think anyone knows how to do much better. The current state of the art is an extremely unstructured and inscrutable system with no design behind it whatsoever, and that system gets a lot of people killed. The moment anything can do better than that, we should push it hard even if it has stupid failures.

IBM did not handle this well. This official announcement is months late. The API was abandoned months or years ago but they were still taking people's money for it. When they finally cut off the payment form and removed their API plans without notice in the summer there was an uproar. It hurt me deeply, making 1-2 months of dedicated work directly against this API to be useless.

Very bad decision-making and handling at IBM and I will not be supporting any of their businesses in the future. It is not reliable and they shut down without notice.

Funny timing this morning - I wrote about my experience with this API in my Show HN a few hours ago, before I knew about this news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18235812

And another link for the lazy, the link to the WU community when we all noticed that this wreck was happening: https://apicommunity.wunderground.com/weatherapi/topics/weat...

--

Edit: A side anecdote. The API was so bad (in terms of service uptime) that I learned a lot about how to write retry logic for API calls on mobile. So many calls would fail for various reasons. But randomly. So for each API call you want to make, you should have 5-10 error cases to catch and then retry. Eventually you'd get a successful call!

I see what this channel is doing with the algorithm and I don't like it. In addition, I don't like the content and don't want my kids trapped by it. I'm sure that there's some educational content in there, but over all is of poor quality.

There are other channels in the toddler entertainment business, I assume from other countries, which do the same thing. I avoid them as well.

There are good Indian channels on youtube. Chuchu TV is not one of them.
I'm into computer graphics, so for me it's raytracing. The principle is simple, so one can quickly code some "shiny spheres" example, but then there's a lot of interesting connected stuff to learn: linear algebra, spatial data structures, Monte Carlo extensions, ...
I'm not looking for a piece of paper, no. I'm looking for a hands-on learning experience with competent instructors, and the collegiality of classmates. The instructors don't have to be Harvard or MIT grade (note that electrons will still flow in the ways electrons flow regardless of if I learn those ways from a Harvard or MIT Professor, or someone else). I'm just a value shopper for education, nothing more, nothing less. Thus far I think the responses to this query have been fascinating and tremendously useful! But no, I don't want a $5, no time, no learning degree. That would defeat my purpose, which is to learn EE fully and thoroughly, not necessarily to get a job in EE...
How is the US travel situation with Canada any different to someone coming from say the Netherlands?

Regarding pilots, Transport Canada, the governing body over federal aviation regulations has explicitly come out and said use of Canabis is valid grounds for a revoked medical certificate, which is required for any pilot to fly. While the airline rules are one thing, this is a very serious implication for pilots.
I’m a professor in an EECS department in the US. A lot of students pay little to nothing thanks to scholarships. There are also a plethora of student jobs that can help as well.

Chrome 70 released with Windows web app support
The best piece of this post is hidden in a sentence in the middle, and I wanted to call it out:

If cost is an issue, go to a community college BEFORE going to a 4-year engineering school. Community colleges are a fraction of the price of a university.

Any EE degree is going to require a significant investment in calculus, some diff eq, linear algebra, chemistry, physics, and likely some humanities.

With some clever coursework you can do ~2 years of full time EE coursework at a community college.

I have a hunch you do not discuss The Master and Margarita at parties.

Not surprising, it's a phone model for Chinese market. The "evil services" are the Chinese equivalents of Google Maps, Google Analytics, Google Search, FB messenger, and iCloud/Samsung cloud.

The real issue is that most phone makers have tons of unnecessary services pre-installed in their phones, such as social media login, location tracking, and cloud storage. It would be better to design/license Android OS in a way that gives user complete control on what is pre-installed.

Hilarious! I work for a major publicly-traded health ins. co. Our CEO is one of the highest paid people in the state, so is the 2nd in command, and 3rd, and a few more down from there. It's insane how much money is eaten up in ways that do nothing at all to insure individuals, but they make big talkie talk about all of it.

I would say that in my organization, for every 10 people that work here, only 2 do actual work.

It's not about forcing sick people to die, it's about an inefficient corporation that soaks up billions to return very little in actual value.

BTW, I have always prided myself with my ethics in the sense that I would never work in the "defense" sector, etc. I am thinking that big healthcare is a breach of this same type of ethic. I am at a crossroads in my career as a developer, and I really want to just get away from it all, but I'm 45 with two kids and I need at least another 5 years of work before I can downsize and escape the corporate grind for good. It sucks, though, I won't spritz it up. We should just have a revolution in the US.

There was an intranet portal available to all the staff and much of the day-to-day data was presented directly to the staff as they completed their work.

However, only management was really "engaging" with the data, the staff themselves only interacted with it enough to outrun it.

Now, employees feel excited about the opportunity to dig into datasets that they created with some specific intent and it's the staff themselves that engage directly with management.

It's just much better all around.
It is the same set of warnings. Those warnings are justified. This is anecdotal and I am well aware that all children are different. In my case, I have a 5 year old, there is a marked difference in their behavior based on the content they are is watching. As an example, we don't let the child watch "Paw Patrol" because it winds them up due to the constant high-intensity rush to solve a problem. Where as a show such as "Creative Galaxy" is paced to emphasize content instead of emotional waves. I would say that the beauty of the internet is now we can actually limit and screen content. No longer do children watch "whatever is on TV". They watch whatever on demand show that their parents allow them to watch. This is where pre-screening and understanding your child's developmental level are the most important. "Here's a phone watch YouTube." is the extreme and as stated in a prior post could be considered neglectful.
It's very concise but very tricky at the same time, and it solves a fondamental problem. Even though I've spent some time studying it, I'm not sure I'd be able to figure it out by myself.
EE Means electrical engineering? In czech republic I have seen a year of study for non EU citizens between 3000 and 5000 Eur a year, 3 year study is the standard length.

Cost of living for a student was around 4000-6000 eur a year, when I was student (~5 years ago), should still be comparable.

I don't think the problem is capacity so much as temporal capacity. There's a large opportunity cost in having a big road empty for most of the day. Surely a smaller road that's busier for more of the day would be better?

I don't in principle have a problem with bandwidth being priced according to congestion. What we have instead is rationing.

You could make road pricing approximately revenue neutral by reducing fuel and vehicle excise duty.

Road traffic is a particularly good case for variable pricing because there is a discontinuity in traffic jam likelihood versus cars on the road - essentially, roads get full at a certain point, so the marginal cost of extra cars increases rapidly as it approaches that level.

This would encourage traffic to spread across more of the network, deliveries to happen at off-peak times, the 9-5 work cycle to be relaxed, pollution to be spread out more evenly across the day (to times when people aren't walking around).

So, for clarity: I'm saying make it cheaper to use the roads sometimes, and more expensive at other times.

Slight digression, but I’m trying to expand my productions of Russian literature for Standard Ebooks: I’ve produced some Dostoyevsky, Gogol, Garshin and Sologub so far.

Given how much they push you to use the app, it's possibly intentional.
The content being consumed plays a huge role in this. 15 minutes a day can range from enriching to neutral to harmful. As an example, a kid repeatedly watching YouTube videos of other kids kicking each other in the balls and laughing is likely to elicit unwanted social behavior.
Nope. Ignoring or refusing to answer the question is grounds for denying admission or being permanently denied admission.
I’m not sure your claim is obviously true either.

I’d say that leaving kids in a an environment of addictive substances (say, cigarettes?) is a great way to get them addicted.

> Having it be illegal can be sticky as well since it encourages people to hide how they personally are connected

This is a huge issue and cannot be overstated. Most of us are willing to go to great lengths to avoid cutting off potential future opportunities, and showing any support for (or even knowledge of) cannabis use can absolutely do this. I have personally lost out on at least three major career paths because of it, and that was without any direct admission on my part.
Are you just interested in the lowest up front cost in dollars?
I went to the US Military Academy. Tuition, room and board are free, you get a small stipend each month and you have a guaranteed job at graduation. You pay for school with 5 years of service as an Army officer. I was a Mechanical Engineering major, but they have a decent EECS department also. The military academies have an interesting setup where they are officially an engineering school, and everyone, even the history or law majors have to take an "engineering track". The engineering majors also have more humanities courses than their peers at most schools.
Awesome! Good work getting it launched. Good luck!
Wikipedia is wrong on both counts.
As a ballpark for expenses: I know people paying well under €300 per month for rent in smaller cities. €2/day lunch at university is possible (though not necessarily tasty).
