These are well observed and key differences between social networks.

The power of these small changes is disproportionately strong too. On HN, your username is very subtly rendered, and that possibly hella people focus on the content, rather than the individual who posted it.

On Reddit by contrast the username sticks out, can have flair added etc.

The result is imo more personality based repartee.
To be clear, my post was to state that there are many use cases for time-series databases and bemoan the fact that most current development centers around a specific use case. That is in fact what I wrote.

I have a hard time believing that "a dynamic containerised infrastructure which produce a unique number of timeseries over very short intervals" is the superset of all time-series use cases, but perhaps it is so.
I recently bought myself an Apple Watch. I’m not sure I would have agreed before using this thing. I mean maybe for people for whom computers were too foreign, or for those who grew up with no other options...

But no, I’ve been enjoying the experience more and more. Texting my girlfriend by voice. Asking Siri to find something on a map for me. First time I’ve been impressed by the pragmatic nature of it and not just finding it a clever toy (at least in some time).

I’m still wary of some of the implications, but I’m cautiously optimistic now more than I would have been.

That said, it’s certainly not my area of expertise so I’m also wary it spells my own career doom if I don’t get smart.
> Scientists have suggested that the massive rock apparently slowed down as it penetrated Earth’s atmosphere. It slowed so much that the Hoba reached a point of terminal velocity as it was about to impact the surface

i don't buy it.

why couldnt it be part of a bigger impactor, so if it was just a shard that broke off after impact and flew mostly horizontally before settling?

maybe it struck the top of a thick glacier that has since melted?

maybe there were 200m of water in that location then?

terminal velocity for a meteor is 200-400mph. 66 tons at that speed would at minimum leave it nowhere near the surface.
Closer to "redneck", but with more derision.

I posted the question there and also (re)posted here.

I think 2 things - In my opinion Stackexchange doesn't work well or at all as a place for discussion, by design. There's only a 1-level deep comment system and indeed discussions there, when they are attempted, are actively discouraged and often moved over to the chat feature. HN is much better suited for deep discussion.

Also the audience here is far broader than the audience for Information Security Stackexchange, which is pretty niche. Since the question was well-received there I thought it might have an above-average probability of also being interesting for the HN audience too, who might not otherwise come across it, so I thought I'd repost here.

> what's the question as it is very broad

Essentially my question is: is the proliferation of high res always-recording cameras in public spaces, combined with computer vision and possible automated scraping of creds from the footage, something that will cause a huge security issue in the near future?

Remember that the vast, vast majority of users don't use 2FA, password managers etc.

Could it be that username/password as a single factor (or having only a single factor) become obsolete because of this?
This is as much or more about moving away from a specific product stack - Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), which is an aging and expensive ERP titan. The news and people who aren't dealing with Oracle don't necessarily see that clearly.

I'd bet that their Oracle Data Warehouse being referred to here isn't just about the Oracle RDBMS database technology itself, they are talking about a specific COTS Oracle Data Warehouse model that you can buy prebuilt and works as a destination for all other Oracle ERP etc. subsytems.

I say this knowing it first hand coming from a company trapped in that particular Oracle stack. It's expensive, limiting and very locked in, and has a huge footprint and requires specialists to run (as do many ERPs).

I see actually a mad scramble by the big tech vendors (Microsoft, SAP and others) trying to push their ERP solutions as cloud enablement has opened up a window of opportunity to shift and escape some of the pains of the old ways (while creating an entirely new set of problems).

I'd be more interested if Amazon sees this same opening and is trying to enter the ERP game itself by building something in house that they turn around and offer as a service via AWS. They certainly have the scale to look pull off such a thing, and they already own all the enabling technologies to build an ERP system, data warehouse and rest of the stack.

That's my pet theory at least!
I certainly don’t consider stranger random people on social media as “interacting with people” either, this include my respond to your comment.
I tried switching from Chrome (actually I use chromium) to Firefox, but I switched back after one day. I didn't have any problems with any websites in Firefox, but the user interface of Firefox is just lightyears behind Chrome. What really was a deal breaker for me is how Firefox handles tabs, it's just not usable if you open more than 15 tabs in total because you can't move more than one tab at a time.

When I look online for say a RAM upgrade for my computer, I open a few tabs with online shops, then I open a new tab for each product, now there are ~40 tabs open and I want to move half of them to the beginning of the tab bar or to a new window. In chrome I press shift, select multiple tabs and move them, In Firefox I have to drag each tab to it's new position one after another.

In about:config there's a flag to enable tab multiselect, but you still can't move more than one tab at a time.

There's a few more minor issues like this and a 5 year old unfixed bug with tiling window managers in Firefox. With Firefox I just spend more time fighting the browser than browsing the web.
Half-way through your comment, I though you were going to say it was actually a positive thing that Apple keyboards aren't good enough to type on them...

Light grey sans-serif body font means you hate your readers' eyes. At least they didn't make it tiny as well.

Also, the color advice is bad. The garish "calculated and scientific" example is more readable than the "What you actually need" example.

Edit: The differences between people's eyes and between monitors' color output mean that you probably shouldn't spend more than an hour or two (or a couple of hundred bucks) picking out a dependable conservative color pallet. In fact, the time it took to read that article should be enough to pick a pallet, unless you just want to play with colors, which is fine.

If by blockchain you mean a database that has cryptographic security (e.g. signing by various parties) then yes. If you mean proof of work or proof of stake based blockchain, hmm unlikely. Though those that are proof of work or proof of stake may serve as a base for other platforms.

If anything blockchain is too broad a term. The good thing that's coming out of the "blockchain revolution" is that people are coming to understand that programming/logical literacy is and will be as important as language literacy, as well as importance of cryptography for building trusted systems. But let's not call that blockchain.

2018 MacBook Air Teardown Confirms Improving Repairability With Adhesive Pull-Tabs Under Battery and Speakers

https://www.macrumors.com/2018/11/08/2018-macbook-air-ifixit...

Amusingly, the 13" MacBook Pro non-touchbar where they have defective SSDs are the only ones that have removable SSDs. The touchbar versions are soldered. I wonder if that's a happy coincidence that they're repairable, or if the reason for these defects is that Apple's engineers screwed up the socket since they have basically no experience with those across the rest of the product line anymore.
I think it's far more complicated than that although environment plays a big role, on those that are susceptible to it.

For example, in my AP Calculus honors class was mostly East Asian high school kids, in a school famous for gang violence (class of 05, I recognized their faces in the newspapers), started joining ethnic street gangs during this time. Like this Vietnamese dude was a high achiever like the rest of us tryna get into a good university, then the cops showed up and arrested for attempted murder for bashing some white kid's head in the hallway with a baseball bat. It was like a gang initiation thing, I hear many many other such incidents. Honestly, I was tense all the time. It was only when I was threatened with a deadly weapon over a scuffle, did I realize what I was dealing with. I asked that classmate why he attacked the student in the hallway, he replied

"cuz he was askin for it"

Pretty shocking since not long ago we were studying calculus together. Well, I hope the thug life was worth a permanent criminal record that permanently bars you from partaking in the mainstream economy.
Apple lets me select which apps can access to both the microphone and the GPS. Of course you have to trust Apple, though they've made a big thing about privacy, as the biggest public company in the world, I don't think they'd risk lying about that.
No mention of color blindness or a11y, which seem like important factors in color selection.
Please re-read the guidelines and the use. No API has been used that wasn't explicitly allowed to be used for said purposes. Location provided location. The public signal that indicates screen off and on was used. Neither was used surreptitiously, rather, used explicitly. Apple says this os OK. They just have an inconsistently applied definition of what qualifies as "location is the primary use".
In American folklore, George Washington occupies this same "honest boy becomes national founder" niche.
I agree that this is likely the root cause. Upwork obviously still botched things here, and they need to better communicate what's going on and why. They probably don't want to be transparent about this stuff because it makes their business model (hire contractors through us to do everything!) less attractive for some of their customers.
For people with so-called personality disorder (and that seems to be the group they're talking about: need for therapy; adverse childhood events) medication isn't recommended and treatment should be a long form talking therapy. "Meeting the Challenge, Making a Difference" has some useful information. https://www.crisiscareconcordat.org.uk/inspiration/meeting-t...

That's an important point because this group of people often find themselves medicated with a range of different drugs - valproate, quetiapine, lamotrigine, topiramate, carbamazepine, lithium, benzos, z drugs, SSRIs, etc etc, but there's little evidence that these meds provide any benefit for this group of people.

(I'm not anti-medication.)
I generally have ~300 tabs open on Firefox without problem. If tabs are the main issue for you, can I suggest you give a try to the Tree Style Tabs extension?

Why do companies think this is “good”? They basically assault the very subset of people that actually stuck around longer than most, actually showed some interest in their content. Instead of encouraging that to continue, they cut you off.

Imagine if you were in a physical store. Then, after 2 minutes of walking around, someone suddenly pulled you aside, erected a bunch of cardboard walls around you and said “sorry, if you want to keep looking, you need to sign up for a store account!”. You’d mutter some curses and walk straight out the door, obviously; exactly zero people would say “why, sure!”.

But a count of countries is a pretty arbitrary way to slice market share, and one of the worse ways in my opinion.

If you want to measure the degree of competition in different corners of the internet, then 1) it's still about market share and not about which is top-ranked, and 2) better slices could be market share in desktop vs. mobile, in workplace vs. home, and in something more macro such as "more free" populations (U.S., Europe) vs "less free" populations (China, Russia).
The "Lenin was a great man even in childhood" legend that I heard involves him eating apples that his mother told him not to, and then later his conscience nags him for it. In any event, Lenin was subjected to the same mythologization as George Washington who supposedly cut down a cherry tree and confessed to it.[1]

And make sure to use LAB color space!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lab_color_space

In LAB space, the distance between two colors approximate perceptual distance (how different two colors look). Its not exact---it can't be, because the space isn't actually Euclidean---but it's close.

RGB, on the other hand, isn't close. Here's a visualization of RGB space embedded in LAB space:

If RGB space corresponded to what our eyes saw, that would be a hexagon.
I wear women's clothing, and most people have no idea.

Womens 311 shaping skinny jeans were my standard for a long time: I only have a phone (these fit lengthways in a women's pocket) and a card carrier so I don't need giant pockets, jeans look cleaner without them. I know a bunch of (good looking) male dancers who wear them too: https://instagram.com/p/BUME5JpFhja/

Women's slogan shirts tend to be more upbeat, interesting and aggressive than men's. Get plus size / curve brands so they actually fit: https://instagram.com/p/BQ5VkrAArJ7 Watch out for super wide necks! These are common and won't look good on a guy.

After realizing my genderfluidity and letting go of caring about social constructs in general, I started playing with fashion. I've never had such comfortable clothes, nor have I dressed better or more colorful. Gender conforming fashion quickly became very boring and uninspired to me. I now play with combining all kinds of shapes of clothes and patterns in layers to come up with outfits. A common compliment is "I don't know how you pull this stuff off! None of this is supposed to go together!"

In short: innovate your own personal fashion style to expand your creative side by abandoning fashion rules.

I’ve invested heavily in the Apple ecosystem so it pains me to see these issues. It looks like my best bet is the Mac Mini and hook up higher quality externals. That or I’ll just hope my 2013 MBP lasts long enough for a viable replacement option to appear.

I loved Now 1.0, disappointed in 2.0. It's not accurate that all customer needs of 1.0 can be met. There are size limits deploying to AWS lambdas. Web sockets don't work in lambda. Caching is a different game if your functions can spin up and down often, not to mention no sticky sessions. DB connection limits become more relevant if you have a bunch of endpoints and put them all on their own lambdas since they can't share connections.

There's value in distributed architectures, but there are already lots of ways to add that complexity when you need it. I really liked what Now 1.0 was doing (more user-friendly than hyper.sh), so this makes me somewhat sad.

There are very cheap competitors such as Apex Up for managing AWS lambdas if people want to go that route.

I hope I'm wrong about some of the above and you have plans I'm simply not foreseeing to address these issues.
"A broken driver's wheel doesn't make a whole car unusable, it just makes the driver's wheel unusable."

Sounds kinda silly.
Agreed. Google is already doing things to make their products bad. Companies that size seemingly can’t help it. Maps looks real nice and all but the old version was WAY easier to use. They won’t stop with these changes because they feel like they need to stay relevant and fresh and no amount of user complaining will outweigh their hubris.
I suppose another way to save money on healthcare would be to not have it at all.

Modern Russian TV is full of crazy hoaxes that people are quick to believe. The difference is that they are manufactured by the state at scale as part of its "hybrid warfare" campaigns (currently in Syria and Ukraine), as opposed to a lone prankster trolling people for fun. One could even say that Kurekhin's prank was a wildly successful POC.
I went through two MBPs with this issue. Yes, you can technically just keep mashing keys over and over until they stick and/or delete the 2+ instances of the character each time it finally types, or you could technically hook up an external keyboard for the laptop, but... both "solutions" are pretty much showstoppers for a laptop. The issue did make my computer unusable and I was unable to work on it.

Side note: I dropped from 110+ WPM to ~20 WPM because I had three keys with this issue and had to spent 5+ seconds every time I tried any of those keys. The worst part is sometimes it wouldn't register the key and sometimes it would register it on the first try but type the character several times repeatedly. It was literally hell.

As a nonbinary person, I love seeing this in the NY Times. But I also have seen this question asked over and over again. (See the 90s where Utilikilts made a big splash over 'skirts'.)

The phenomena goes beyond just clothes, and includes makeup and grooming as well. There's a whole library of things that are available for managing your personal appearance, but men typically feel ashamed to try them out.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWyuB-Qyqu8

But that stuff is labelled 'girls stuff' and pretty aggressively mocked, yet we are much more comfortable when women are 'just one of the guys'. We're going to need more than just the occasional NY Times article to change that deeply held value.
