Never seen any of that in any startup. Did see not using terraform and inf being managed from UI and not reproducible from scratch.
> But when i say better content, better is defined as more engaging, shareable, linkable, clickable. that sort of stuff. This isn't our cup of tea here at HN, but maybe that's what most people go for. Maybe.

Are you kidding? Look at the articles posted on HN. MANY are pure marketing or self-promotion pieces designed to be shared on social media like HN, get clicks, and start discussion.

It’s funny how HN commenters only call it seo, clickbait, and marketing if they don’t like it lol.
Yeah, I’m sure there’s variation country-to-country, but in Canada this application would be ridiculous (and likely illegal?), with HUGE identity theft alarm bells going off.

I sometimes blank on words that sound the same, like typing through when i mean threw, and of course google won't correct it unless its in context, so i type something like 'i through a bomb' which corrects to threw, i know I'm on a watch list somewhere.
OpenWRT is more "linux like". It can feel like a full blown linux system. Sure, it does have a web interface, but if you're used to doing stuff by ssh, OpenWRT is great: nice text configuration files, organized root tree and pretty much any package you get on any desktop distro, if you have the necessary space on the device...

I even run it in some KVM environments for intra-VM routing and firewall because it's lightweight.
> That they might be re-purposed for delivering nuclear warheads? That's crazy.

Why do you think so?

The Indian Ballistic Missile Defence system was built by modifying a nuclear capable short range ballistic missile (Prithvi Missile - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prithvi_(missile) ). This modified version was designed in different configurations to intercept missiles in high and low altitude. ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Ballistic_Missile_Def... ).

The real question to follow from Rutger's speech is: What is the "moral equivalent of war?" That is what he claims is required to resolve intensification of inequality.

He also mentioned the 91% marginal tax rate applied after WWII in the U.S., but wasn't part of that policy designed to slow down the economy from the hyperproduction achieved during the war? That is it was designed to prevent a meltdown of the economy.

Another question would be, if we're trying to use the existential threat of climate change as the economic "moral equivalent" of war, how do we keep the mechanisms created from being used as means of oppression? Most current efforts in world government and among the very rich end up devolving to control of money and control of behavior instead of working to survive climate change.

Do close the loopholes. Do, please, prove that the additional revenues goes toward meeting the needs of the poor and vulnerable. Do, please, ensure that women with children are given what they need to retain health and sanity while caring for our next generation. Please, demonstrate that the revenues don't go toward power maintenance, like they do today.

I wish I had more answers.
Ok. If you are a millionaire who really would think nothing of shelling out $35,000 tomorrow, what's the best case scenario of going without insurance? 30 years saving $139 a year means you've saved $4200 by going uninsured.

$4200 is noise to someone like this. Meanwhile, if you do suffer a loss, you will be down far more.
Russia has already signaled openly that they know they can't keep up on spending with the US and China. Their forward budgeting statements indicate a halt to the formerly rapid military spending growth. China is what this treaty withdrawal is all about.

Pretty soon the US will be adding a new Russia every year in new economic output. Russia is not a competitive threat with the US overall, only on select regional matters and on a few important weapons systems. The dumbest thing the US could do, is worry about bankrupting Russia.

And if the US wanted to do that, there's only one good option: tank the price of oil dramatically by pushing up the value of the dollar. That won't work very well here, because the dollar is already relatively high, the US is now vulnerable on oil as a huge industry (and will be more so in the near future), and inflation adjusted (eg back to 1995 or 2005) oil is almost cheap right now (and it's not tanking Russia, they can roughly hold their ground at current prices). The dollar is how the USSR was bankrupted, as they over-bet their economic security on oil output from 1970-1990. Russia is being far better run with regard to macro economic choices right now than the USSR was, which limits their exposure to bankrupting shocks (again, short of eg sustained $20 oil).

The primary hope on the containment front is probably that Russia's need to raise or at least maintain its social welfare output (against a zero growth economy) is checked by oil prices (held down by US shale output), forcing a choice between military spending and social welfare. That's happening right now and has badly soured Putin's popularity at home. Oil goes to $110 and Putin gets a lot more money to play with while also placating domestic demands.
It hasn't been branched yet. More likely a 19.0x in the middle of the year.
Lost Manuscripts Written About Merlin, King Arthur, Holy Grail Found
"Cryotherapy" as used in this study is basically being nude in REALLY cold chambers; like -120 or -160C for fairly short periods of time. I have no idea how they came up with the idea of making the chamber that cold. I suppose someone looked at extreme saunas and tried the opposite.

You probably know about Wim Hof and the various sports/human performance things involving cold (no doubt as touted on Joe Rogan as every fruity health fad seems to be). Personally I think it probably does do something, though every individual reaction is different. I've always done the cold water at the end of the shower James Bond thing. I recently moved from the Bay Area where it is 70F all year to a place where it was recently -30F with the wind chill. The cold seems to fill me with vigor; love it. Love the Sauna as well. Generally speaking I think the human organism thrives best with a little hormesis.
Out of "hundreds" I see 5-7 that look like decent home wireless routers at first glance (4+ gigabit ports, available new, b/g/n/ac, no unsupported hardware when running OpenWRT, <$150).

Based on that the original statement "I still don’t know any good reasonably priced routers which supports Openwrt." is very understandable. A lot of rows != an easy list of good routers.
Good question. Was it ever tested so far ? I believe not.

My guess is that it is near as efficient as a cold shower. So you can go for Wim Hof method. It costs almost nothing comparatively.

As far as I am concerned, being hit with mild anxiety for more than 10 years, WBCT (3 minutes in a giant fridge cooled at -113° C) which I tried for 10 sessions didn't improve my symptoms. My physical recovery was a bit better.
I convinced myself that Mac was the best laptop to buy in 2015 after comparing all available options.

The design, beautiful. Technology unmatched at the time, Magsafe was genius, Retina display and build quality fantastic.

I was soon to be an Apple fan boy and decided to buy the next model of MBP, hoping for just minor improvements on CPU RAM etc.

I stopped myself when I saw 2016 MBP. I take Apple negativity with a lot of salt but even for me, it seems Apple has compromised Mac's quality year on year in so many ways. I still await.
And that's a problem with modesty that Europe needs to work on. Not something the rest of the world needs to acquiesce to because the Nato bloc are rich countries and we should all do what they do, often at the implication of "or else".

You can’t typically self-insure the liability portion, because you are playing with other people’s money. You can choose not to buy collision insurance, which would cover damage to your own vehicle. Even then, you can only do that if you own the vehicle free and clear.
One could easily rewrite your comment to lament the invention of the automobile:

Who will be responsible for the suffrage [sic] that accident victims will inevitably go through when an automobile driver screws up (and make no mistake, automobile drivers WILL screw up).

The answer is: yes, a few suffer, the vast majority benefits, and life goes on. Your comment insists on a notion of perfect safety that exists nowhere in the real world.
One company screws up, people start to look more carefully at others.

But I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a lobby that you speak of, which is funded by.. umm.. crime industry?
In order to have per user settings you have to have one dir per user. For practical purposes and security it ought to be somewhere only user has access it. Optionally it would be nice if you could back up all user settings and files in one place.

The logical conclusion is that it ought to live somewhere in home which meets the above criteria. Its obviously cleaner to store data in $XDG_* but keep in mind that some of the apps creating said files are actually older than linux and certainly older than such standards.

From dev and user perspective it would be nice to have them updated to follow the standard but in practice the practical effect is nil so lots of stuff doesn't bother.
> Having a conventional place to look for user configuration in plain text

That place is $XDG_HOME_CONFIG (~/.config)
I think it's possible that section has a different interpretation. The way I read it, the complaint is that the author's friends, who are bakers, musicians, and artists, can no longer afford to live in the bay area, due to their inability to compete, on a musicians salary, not even for the $3000/mo apartment, but that there are no longer enough choices, even out in Richmond, for them to stay in the area at all. All because they had the audacity not to attach themselves to a tech company.

Not randomized, not blinded. Likely to be a powerful placebo response. Awaiting the companion article, Steam bath as an adjunct treatment.

Also note that the 'nih.gov' link probably unduly impacts credibility - it's just the pubmed central site, not an NIH-supported trial.
The lack of useful names on the files is IMHO the most egregious issue. (OK using names that don’t start with ‘.’ is worse). I don’t ls -A my homedir as much, but what the hell are .517827.padl? Who created .android (I don’t use android and don’t develop for it) etc.

These people are arrogant shitheads and I’d like to know who they are so I can avoid their software. I assume if they do crap like this their software does other nefarious things.

I recently appliedm for a job where the demographic questions of gender and hispanic origin had no opt out - I had to mark male or female. It's my understanding that's not legal, but what is my recourse aside from ending the application process early? Realistically even if I wanted to find a lawyer who'd take the case on, any future employers would be able to see the court records that I sued a potential job in a Google search and I doubt the payoff would be enough to retire on.
That's why I never use $HOME for personal files. All of my files are in the Dropbox folder or another custom folder on my work PC. It's nonstandard, so no one litters in it besides me.
That's my point exactly. Most of these programs have command line flags you can pass to indicate the configuration file that should be used. Doing that, and then by default putting my configuration in the most reasonable place for it--a dotfile-- is, in my opinion, the most respectful way a programmer can treat someone's machine.

Not to mention that most of these are free and open source, so building according to convention is the best way to keep their userbase happy (as fiddlerwoaroof pointed out, $HOME was the original conventional dotfile location pre-2003.)

So if your program doesn't respect my machine (meaning allow me to configure it to prevent unwanted behavior) then yes absolutely, into the bin with it. And rm -rf its dotfiles after.
IIUC, it's because a war would likely cause harm to a large number of clients at the same time. The insurance company could not afford to pay so many concurrent claims.

Which makes this case even more important: how could any insurance company guarantee to pay damages caused by a computer virus, when many viruses are designed to quickly spread across many systems?
It's Utah's fault.
I would take him more seriously as a critic of the excesses of "PC" ideology if he weren't a believer in IQ based neo-racism and if he weren't an actual misogynist.

That doesn't mean I have no problems with the APA document in question. It does indeed read like ideological buzzword salad and I do get the impression that it is minimizing legitimate traditional masculine virtues. It deserves a better critic than Jordan Peterson and having him fill that role only reinforces this whole meta narrative.

My own opinion on all this is that everyone has gone completely insane.

The right has gone insane. The ideology of The Turner Diaries is now mainstream. The left has gone insane, parroting ideological duckspeak and utterly incapable of genuinely discussing or defending their ideas. I get the sense that neither side even cares about ideas, just "memes" and winning.

Since both sides are now insane, deplatforming and brigading are the only form of debate. Deplatforming is normally associated with the left but the right wing echo chambers will all ban you in five minutes if you question the party line. Brigading likewise is practiced by both sides.

Yes folks, I am saying the awful "both sides" thing. I really do think everyone has gone mad.

What is it? Are rising CO2 levels impacting our cognition? Is there something in the water?

Or is this medium just flawed? Have we turned the Internet into an anti-intellectual memetic laser that is slowly lobotomizing us to get people to click ads?
I manage a deep learning team but I have some reservations about the technology. IMO deep learning is best for optimizing back end systems and not good for systems that ‘touch’ people: deciding to loan money, automated sentencing of criminals, targeted marketing from personal information, etc.

For me, the problems are lack of explainability and possible bias.

There are many great applications for deep learning and AI in general but some guard rails must be in place for public good.

I developed a utility for my own use and found an answer to your question.

When the program starts up, it needs to know what its configuration is. This is not stored in the code. So it has to find its configuration data somewhere. Ideally, you'd let the user configure where they want the config file. But then the program has to read the config file to find out where the config file is, and it doesn't know where to look.

(So it seems like you pretty much have to put config data in the same place on every computer, or use environment variables.)

If you don't know about the XDG Specification in the article (I didn't), a $HOME/.myconfig file is by far the simplest and most robust solution.
wrt bufferbloat: my internet is too fast (150 mbps) for a cheap router to effectively manage the connection, meaning that unless i pay 250€ for a router, I will just slow down my Internet needlessly.
I have been fighting this but I gave up: people just don't care or are somewhat opposed, even when presented with a backword compatible patch.

Now I just mount the home directory with rewritefs and try make the mess more or less compliant to the spec. It's not ideal: it's a hack and it causes a performance hit but I can be at peace in my ~.

Amazon Corretto 8 (OpenJDK 8) Now Generally Available
Why wouldn't it to be easy to implement? You could probably make a global LD_PRELOAD library that hooks into all open() CREAT calls and tags the inode's xattr with the program that created the file. You could use an attribute like, user.created_by.
Would you mind elaborating a little on what makes Arduino "distant from the practice of actual embedded work"?

Yep. Everyone thinks that they’re a great photographer, and that if they just had the right camera/lens/phone, their pictures would be perfect.

I once had to help judge a couple of photo contests where members of the general public sent in pictures. They were taken on everything from low-end telephones to high-end mirroess rigs. 99.95% of then were utter crap, regardless of the platform. Poorly lit. Out of focus. Half the subject out of frame.

People will spend $3,000 on new camera gear when they should be spending $200 on a basic photography class at a camera store or community college.

If a family member signs over their genes, and they share a lot of genetic material with me, my privacy is compromised.

I like to think I should have some form of agency over the intrinsic things that make me who I am, but this industry couldn't care less about that. That squicks me out.

Would you send me a scan of your fingerprints? Or do your crime industry connections suggest that you shouldn't do that?
Oh, because you disagree, I'm drinking the koolaid? Grow up and realize that your perspective and priorities are not universal.

I’ve always assumed that my 23amdme results were merely guidelines. If it says I don’t have something, then that means nothing. If it says I do have something, then that means I should be on the lookout for other corroborating data or symptoms.

It actually helped me find an explanation for some weird symptoms I was having. After I told the doctor, “23amdme says I may have X” he said “yeah all those things could be symptoms of X” and we went from there.
That site is also wrong.

News and weather is basically just merging with another app, reply moved into Android (I beta tested reply, and despite the app being gone I still have the features), Tez still exists as a part of pay, showtimes got rolled into normal search, tango was experimental and became arcore, google x very much is still around, glass never left beta as a consumer product and is still relevant as an enterprise product. Chrome frame has no reason to still exist, Quickoffice merged with Google docs, the Nexus line became pixel, noop was a 20% project, not an official google product.

When you remove the garbage, you end up with a company that deprecates a few things each year, most of which you've never heard of anyway.
It depends whether your criticism is informed and empathetic. Are you criticizing to prove that another group is somehow "lesser" or "other", or are you listening to and supporting activists from within those groups? How informed are you on the issue, etc.
