Both of those addresses are Anycast. The clusters you talk to are determined by the ISP you are coming from. It is entirely possible there could be a routing problem, or a problem with a particular datacenter that services your ISP.

A work around would be to use a recursive caching server to forward requests upstream to multiple IP's and let it track which one is down. Unbound DNS is really good for this. You could set forwarders to 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and it will track which ones are up.

An example configuration in Unbound DNS would look like this:

forward-zone:
name: "."
forward-addr: 1.1.1.1 # CloudFlare
forward-addr: 1.0.0.1 # CloudFlare
forward-addr: 8.8.8.8 # Google
forward-addr: 8.8.4.4 # Google
forward-addr: 208.67.222.222 # OpenDNS
forward-first: no

And you can view it's status with unbound-control:

unbound-control dump_infra | grep 1\.1\.1
1.1.1.1 . ttl 1745 ping 0 var 71 rtt 284 rto 284 tA 0 tAAAA 0 tother 0 ednsknown 1 edns 0 delay 0 lame dnssec 0 rec 0 A 0 other 0

This method of caching can also slightly improve the privacy of the people using your network. You get the bonus of a local low latency cache, and requests are distributed among multiple destinations, slightly reducing the marketing benefits of running those public DNS servers.
Exaggerated Promise of So-Called Unbiased Data Mining
They get to invent as many "impossible" things as they want, really. But they all need to have plausible-sounding explanations (given our current level of scientific understanding), and they need to act in a consistent, predictable manner, including consistency with known laws of nature - e.g. if you have antigravity, the default assumption is that it obeys the inverse square power law, and if it doesn't, that needs to be called out and have some explanation of its own.
Couldn't you write this stuff of anything? Ultimately, isn't it just empty rationalizations that we all have to go through as we grow old or what we do given any situation? What the fox in Aesop's story did when he could get at the grapes? Just rationalize and move on.

People can write the "Joy of Being in Prison", the "Joy of Being Homeless", the "Joy of Impotence", the "Joy of Losing Your Limbs", etc. But is that really joy or rationalizations?

I'm failing to see what the point of the article really is and also, what is "news" worthy about this?

https://photos.app.goo.gl/cnMmZQgNNba51ZJYA this is the only one of my year 2000 shots I'd fancy sharing, of a friend I've long lost contact with. This was a Largon Chameleon http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/412DZQG69QL._SX300_.jp... which was 0.3mp and held about 100 pics with no screen to review. I bought it for £50 new and loved it and took hundreds of photos, now nearly all lost in a computer move. I have a few though and this seems to be one of the earliest. Taken in a dark pub, so amazed it comes out at all!

Couple more in day light.;

For a long time it was better for camera phone pictures, and they were often a real pain to get off the phones and so often were lost when the phone was replaced. I have a bunch of old phone cameras with no way to charge them and no way to get the pics off. Ah well. I still have the Chameleon somewhere, I should see if there are any 'final' snaps still on it!
That might be the idea, but my quality score goes up if the user clicks, even if it's not what they want- and Google gets paid. My quality score goes down if I am forthcoming and pre-qualify the clicks. (There are probably more ways to do this than price.)

If the user doesn't use the word "free" in the search then there's no way to know a priori that they wanted free. By me putting a price in my ad, I am making the user's experience of the search page better by not leading them astray.

Here's an example: Suppose somebody searched "fix my carburetor." The likely return will have services that fix carburetor for you, youtube videos showing you how, and for-pay pdf instructions. Let's say I'm selling the for-pay pdf instructions. How am I supposed to exclude my page? I could limit my keywords to "fix my carburetor pdf for sale" and hope someone types it into the search box, but I find that unreasonable.

Maybe you can walk me through how I'm wrong. But I submit that Google is working on the hypothesis that more clicks = better user experience, and I believe that hypothesis is false.
> the air wing will only have a range of around 700 nm—about half that of many antiship cruise missiles.

Which basically means that unless the US has very very effective anti ship missiles systems, their entire navy strategy(and thus Nato's) is broken.

The whole point of an aircraft carrier is that it provides a dome of protection. It pushes ships capable of launching anti ship missiles out of range. This means that the rest of the navy is free to do other things.

Without that cover, the navy can't move about without being destroyed.

So you either need loads of little ships (which are much more expensive to eliminate, cheaper to produce, but have smaller weapons, or have a system to effectively intercept missiles, or the missile launcher.
I didn't see anything particularly original in the first book. Maybe it shows up later.

The other axis is quality of writing - i.e. how easy it is to read and understand, and how aesthetically pleasing the writing is. On that axis, I would also rank it very low.
> as orientation and race one are born with

A friend who studied developmental psych told me scientists are still far from reaching an agreement about the causal factors of homosexuality, that there's actually growing evidence that homosexuality is actually more correlated with one's environment during early (first 3-5 years) childhood. But since how one develops in early childhood is just as binding as the expressions of your genes, you might as well say you're born with your orientation.

I'm not saying the rules aren't much improved from what they used to be -- it's been years since the simple advice was "don't ship something we ship," but ... at its core, it's still somewhat true. You have to ship an original app -- and all of the app categories you mentioned have truly original apps on the App Store already.

There is a difference between "I want to write a podcast app" and "I want to duplicate Overcast and just change a few icons"

And your first quote was "don't ship something we ship", which is quite different from "don't just reskin an existing app".

https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#cop...

Don’t simply copy the latest popular app on the App Store, or make some minor changes to another app’s name or UI and pass it off as your own. In addition to risking an intellectual property infringement claim, it makes the App Store harder to navigate and just isn’t fair to your fellow developers.

You can't use background features except for approved categories: "VoIP, audio playback, location, task completion, local notifications".

Ask HN: Should we shut down our SAAS?
My partners and I built www.hyperlogs.com and we put a lot of money, time and effort.

We think that we built a pretty polished "beta" for our web app. We know we are still missing a bunch of features.

The issue is that my partners and I are not sure if we should continue or shut it down. We have very few paying customers, almost all feedback we get is POSITIVE.

We have not done any marketing though, so part of us feels that we might be killing it too soon. On the flip side, it's been several months why don't we have more paid subscribers (i.e. more validation)?

Should we invest more money/time/effort into marketing? Product development? Or call it quits?

How do we know if it's time to pull the plug?

Relevant excerpt:

> “The undersigned finds that a biometric feature is analogous to the 20 nonverbal, physiological responses elicited during a polygraph test, which are used to determine guilt or innocence, and are considered testimonial.”

So it's analogous to a passcode because you're divulging something stored by your body, as opposed to e.g. a metal key which is artificial.

Tangentially related, it's astounding to me that polygraphs are still considered valid evidence given how widely they've been discredited.

The feels like it was written by someone who didn't understand music theory, but the author does discuss the 4th and 5th chords. And yet the story is written as if he didn't expect to find that they show up everywhere.

Yes, Su is holds half a billion bucks in AMD's stock.

This article piked my attention exactly because, if you can read in between the lines, it asks what Su can do with Intel to improve her position.

See, as pointed out in the article, any excessively concessionary move is out of the question. No Intel buying AMD, or poaching Su herself.

Nvidia may want Intel or AMD CPU

Intel may want Nvidia or AMD GPU

AMD's only interest is not to let Intel and Nvidia to combine their strong sides. She can only want "an insurance policy" against that happening, more like a castling manoeuvre.

She can take a stake in hypothesised join GPU unit with Intel, or x86 CPU unit with Nvidia.

Intel would lose nothing in that arrangement, and AMD decreases their risk in GPU.

Nvidia would lose nothing in the opposite arrangement, and AMD decreases their risk in CPU.

Many folks that post to HN seem to miss this even though they are probably very technically capable. Many IT people in small/medium organizations don't have the time to consider this. Sometimes relationships with big organizations force this reality and threats get addressed, but it's not the norm. Most IT managers are under pressure to cut costs, reduce staff, modify accounting (review vs capital budgets), coexist with shadow IT, etc. Cloud solutions seem fantastic to them, and they don't have the energy to fight with someone in marketing who introduces a rogue solution because they don't understand how the current Wiki works.
Notion does but it's not well implemented. If you copy a link to a notion document and paste it in another it does create a link. Wish they made it a little more well defined though (I don't want to copy a link and paste it).

One example of this that I love: the Papyrus Lansing from Middle Kingdom Egypt, which is maybe the world's oldest surviving example of career advice. It's both jarringly modern (encouraging teenagers to aim for office jobs, basically) and also bizarrely outlandish.

"Do you not recall the (fate of) the unskilled man? His name is not known... Be a scribe, and be spared from soldiering! You call and one says: "Here I am." You are safe from torments. Every man seeks to raise himself up. Take note of it!"

Seems like you're being a bit disingenuous, or you need to explain a bit more.

According to the very Wikipedia article you link to, firstly she's been sold to Brazil for £80 million and so is still in service, and she also cost 2/3rds what it would have cost to make it to military standards. That doesn't sound bad? (For context the article claims her cost is the equivalent of £288 million in 2016, so roughly sold for 30% of her original price).

VSEL's bid was £139.5 million compared to Swan Hunter's £210.6 million... The Financial Times described the different philosophies adopted by the two bidders; while Swan Hunter viewed the ships as entirely military, "VSEL thought the design was basically a merchant ship with military hardware bolted on." VSEL's decision to sub-contract the build phase took advantage of lower overheads at a civilian yard as well as efficiency drives by its parent, Kværne

I don't know anything about the expected service times, etc., so I'd be interested to hear if it's turned out as bad as you made it seem?

Yeah, our last on call incident was like 2 weeks ago. Before that, months ago.

A long time ago we had every little thing page us. Plz no. So many false hits.

Things that can wait don't page us. It sends an email, and if we see it and have nothing else better to do, we might fix it. Otherwise it waits till work hours. Paging means something needs to be fixed now.

I have a friend who gets paged even for "low" (not really low) disk space. Here's a tip: turn up the alerts during work hours so you can resolve that junk before people on call have to deal with it.

It's surprising to me that you'd jump on board that argument, based as it is on a lazy stereotype that's a poorly disguised variation on the "shallow self-absorbed millennial" trope.

The person who started that topic did have that problem, but I feel the title represents the topic as a whole, including all the comments. The problem is this. We have a Google Music family plan that includes my wife and I. We have a Google Home associated with my account. By invitation, I've added my wife to our Google Home group. We have both done voice match for the Home, but if I'm listening to music at work, and my wife asks Google Home to play music, it cuts me off at work. We could associate the Home with my wife, and that would fix my problem by transferring it to my wife. If she were driving and listening to music, and I play music through Google Home, it will stop for her.
Some have templates. Hoping Notion releases clone feature soon. Didn't know you could export markdown, will look into that.
I have.

Don't get me wrong: Coda looks like a fantastic product. It also has features that Notion doesn't have, like built-in support for charts inside the document.

If there was no Notion, I would give it a serious try.

But Notion just fits my use case better.

The biggest difference is that Code is like Google docs on steroids: the UI is structured as a collection of separate documents. Which makes perfect sense in an enterprise scenario.

Notion is hierarchical. It's just an infinitely nested collection of pages.

It makes for a different (and for me vastly superior) user experience.

But ultimately both products have free tiers so you should try them both to see which fits your use cases better.

Revisit every decision... Do you REALLY need it to ship MVP?

Shipped code is better than perfect code.

Wait until people complain about something before fixing it. This is how you prioritize.

The worst thing is not that it breaks but that people NEVER use it. If people use it and don't complain that means they don't care.

Force yourself to ship every 1-2 weeks.. no arguments. Ship continually.

Use feature toggles. This way if something breaks you can turn it off.
They did not use data from guitar tabs:
