I always prefer if it's via Dropbox or some other sync provider, so that my data is safe. For example dropbox, they are into storage and their speciality is in storage, safety of data. Password manager app can be good in app making part but storage with them always scares me and I think their speciality is in app making.

What do you think about it, just want to understand your perspective nothing else.

Yes i use a password manager.
No, it just has to wait until you unlock your password manager once
Funny. I wrote a userscript solely to upvote greyed-out comments, half in jest and half in honest frustration with this.

There's no such thing as "toxin free". Almost any chemical can be toxic at high enough concentrations, including oxygen.
Don't worry about all that security / docker with a MVP, you can deal with that once you know your project is solving a problem and you need to scale.

My personal recommendation is a small VM in Google Cloud for the app and another small managed postgres server (backups automated). GCloud is easier to get started with and they automatically migrate your app VM if there are hardware problems. This would run you less than $50 (~30 ballpark) per month. The other consideration is https (mainly for not appearing dangerous in the browser).

This case was actually about civil forfeiture, not criminal forfeiture.

If it had been criminal forfeiture, they would have had to show the SUV was purchased using drug money proceeds. Instead, they pursued the civil forfeiture path because it has a lower standard of evidence (more likely than not rather that beyond a reasonable doubt). See page 1 of the opinion, which explicitly states the case is about civil forfeiture...https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf/17-1091_5536.pdf)
That's a great suggestion, thanks, I'll create an issue for this!

Selective enforcement is absolutely fine.
Sorry, no. It is cheaper in every way possible. The lower receiver is literally metal box with holes in it. You can hammer it out by hand and cut to size with a dremel. The most challenging parts will be smaller pieces (hammer, bolt etc) and all the tubing for the gas trap system (that one will actually require some welding). That’s if you want to build it entirely from Home Depot materials and tools for some reason (in the US only receiver is legally a “weapon”).
In the article it is mentioned that zebras have shorter hair which makes them more vulnerable to the flies. You could ask why didnt they just grow longer hair? Well probably for something else it was important to have short hair.

If a stranger walks up to you, and gives you $10,000 to drive a large, heavy, body-sized bag to the outskirts of town, and dump it in a river, I think most reasonable people would consider you to be at least an accessory to murder. On the other hand, if you were a department store clerk who sold that bag, most reasonable people would consider you in the clear.

There's a spectrum for this sort of thing, and I think UBS was clearly on the 'knowingly profiting from crime' side of it.
I haven’t seen any evidence for it either. But I’d like to see the FDA support aging treatments more. The affect of an extra 10 years of healthy life would be huge.
> My experiences also suggest that a lot of this is fixable, without drugs or therapy, if you can help the family disengage from long-standing patterns of interaction and help the child in question understand where their dysfunctional behaviors came from in a non-blaming manner and give them some better answers and/or just breathing room to change on their own without interference.

Helping the family change how they interact with their children is therapy!

"Phone numbers are numbers" - I've come this multiple times integrating phone numbers into a product.

Currently I just store phone numbers in E.164 format as a string with max length of 25 just to be safe and index them. This really takes up no additional space and can easily handle extensions.

I can't tell you how many times I've run into people storing phone numbers without normalization eg: "(555) 444 - 3333" etc., not understanding that's hard to compare against, where E.164 = "+15554443333" is much more consistent and also works with services like twilio etc.

> that doesn't have to be rewritten for a different architecture

CPU architectures are quite stable. SSE2 is almost 20 years old now. You can't even run modern Windows on a system which doesn't support it.

Vectorize to SSE and you'll get your 50% of potential performance. You can do it without any new paradigms, C and C++ support SSE intrinsics for decades already, other languages are catching up.
Simply magical.

Yep. So you'll need to start an export of your comments on Disqus. They'll send you a link to an archive. Paste that link in the dashboard and all comments will be downloaded and imported (preserving formatting, reply structure, etc.). More info in the dashboard.
> An individual has a phone number

> Some people do not own phones, or do not wish to provide you with their telephone number when asked. Do not require a user to provide a phone number unless it is essential, and whenever possible try and provide a fallback to accommodate these users.

Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram are spectacular design failures on this point because they assume that every person has a phone number and also that every person has their own private (non-shared) and unique phone number. Facebook, Google, etc., require a phone number for verification and believe that it’s sufficiently adequate to thwart spammers.

The whole “must enter a phone number” phenomenon is a big mess, introduces privacy issues and excludes many people. None of the companies mentioned above would agree that excluding people is a goal for them, but they’ve made it so.
Because of the way brk works it is not possible to have 2 different memory allocators to use it in the same process.

Since malloc() in libc uses brk, no language with C bindings can use brk.

Does this mean basically most allocators other than libc malloc() use mmap()?
I'm excited for more wooden buildings, but the claim that "Compared to cast-in-situ concrete, wood makes it possible for construction time to be slashed by half" seems very optimistic.

There's a building boom going on around my office. The steel and concrete office tower next door is by far "sprouting" the fast. On the other side is a residential tower where half of the building is a 20+ floor concrete tower, and the other half is a 5-floor wood frame structure.

The concrete tower is going up faster, despite this being the same construction project. Perhaps what I'm missing is that a CLT build is more similar to steel construction than a wood frame building. Perhaps a real civil engineer can weigh in...
Walnuts also have a lot of Omega 6 which will lessen the conversion of Omega 3 into useable forms.
>I know people have strong feelings about downvoting, but those feelings are rooted in something other than discussion quality.

How do you know? People have different opinions about what constitutes and contributes to quality. From what I've seen, a lot of people assume Reddit's standard should apply here, and they seem surprised to learn that it doesn't. Those people do seem to be concerned about discussion quality.

>Everything I think I know about how to keep HN from deteriorating too badly tells me that the downvotes here serve a critical purpose—even though they're a crude and imprecise weapon, with a lot of downside.

Fine... but why is it wrong to have a standard for downvotes?

The argument being made here is that arbitrary and excessive downvotes are a symptom of deterioration.

Medical statistics is an entire field of study that has multiple disciplines. There are many controversies in this field.

Regarding how death rates are calculated, there are controversies in the field regarding how to best calculate from both a math and even a philosophical standpoint.

This article, which talks about the famous paper from 2015 that first noted the dramatic rise in suicide, covers the controversy well. Some of the best statisticians and researchers in med stats, who all are competent and mean well, simply cannot agree if the death rate has gone up or down [1].

What year were you born? Because it's pretty clear there must be a generation of programmers who never grew up with the whole hacker mythos of the 90s or early 2000s. Some people's only experience with the word "hacker" is a person who makes cool nice things with code.

There was a time many ages ago when the word "hacker" was reserved only for the most dangerous and reckless breed of computer programmers.

When I was a kid we used to pick up 50 Cal tracer ammo in the desert by the snake river. The story was that during training planes would pull most of their tracers out of ammo belts and dump them in the desert so they wouldn't have to put out wildfires later. 1970's
SSO is a planed feature. It's still pending design, but basically here's how it'd work: you'd be required to make a request to the Commento API when someone logs into your website or creates a new account. You will be a given a session token that should be served to the user so that they're identified when they load a page. No ETA on when the feature would be available, sorry!
There's something wrong with your definition of 'toxin' then I think, it seems meaningless.
BRT will never be a major factor regardless of whether humans or computers drive the buses. Urban areas lack the space for building new dedicated bus lanes. And outside of a few limited areas like New York City and San Francisco, most voters are also motorists who are unwilling to sacrifice their existing car lanes.
What I find absolutely INSANE about American traffic signals is that they're built on the assumption that drivers will turn-on-red while the pedestrian walk signal is active.

This causes so many unnecessary conflicts. At best, you get a nasty look from an impatient right-turner who has to slam their brakes to avoid hitting you. At worst, you get killed for obeying a traffic signal.

Similar with left turning. Why don't all high-volume roads have dedicated left turn arrows? If a driver misjudges the speed of the next car, you can bet they'll choose to follow through with the turn and hit a pedestrian rather than getting hit by a car going through a green light.
Yes, but that would still be disallowed under the claim that “even a small risk is too much”, hence my point :-p

I was interested about exactly what economic theories could be dislodged by this so I read the paper and... the article isn't particularly representative.

The major finding send to be that learning algorithms are good at playing best-reply games, even though learning algos are based on memory but may have imperfect knowledge of the game and rules, while best-reply requires no memory but perfect understanding.

As I understand it, they use that to find a strong inverse correlation in best-reply games between probability of finding equilibrium and complexity (or range of action), but barely mention economics in the paper.
What does any of that have to do with the simple fact that billionaires don't make their fortunes through index funds? This isn't a discussion about active versus passive investing. It's a discussion about whether to attribute wealth to entrepreneurial acumen or to an index fund.

Minimal. I don't expect this to make a raft of money any time soon, so I'm looking for a good balance between hands off and cheap. I'm hoping $50/month will be towards the upper end of cost, but I could go higher if needed.
Your solution is 100 times too complicated for the people who need the most protection online.
TCP often fails to saturate network links because it treats packet loss as congestion. TCP-BBR tries to model the network more accurately, treating latency as congestion: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/tcp-bbr-congestio...

Tor adds additional complexities, since intermediate nodes are even more likely to be congested than the average backbone router. I don't know if BBR improves things there.
Underneath the parent comment -- which linked a Wikipedia article with some educational material on case law vs statutory law vs common law etc -- there are a number of comments like this which just show users didn't even bother to read a Wikipedia page, but were happy to tell the world how it works in their own minds.

Maybe there is some important lesson about people here. I think today people think of themselves as above those of the past who took intellectual shortcuts to understanding the world and came to preposterous models of reality. But then you can see just how intellectually lazy people are still today, yet at the same time how hard it is to convince them.
Your plan for rational public debate being used to determine social norms instead of standard social animal behaviour is very flawed.

A lot of people are scared or confused by the fact that the internet and globalization has fractured the mainstream media narrative into multiple narratives and exposed the underlying politics (not "politics" as in "the discourse", I mean "politics" as in "the application of power to allocate resources"). But not much has changed materially, you are just exposed to more personal conversations in public spaces than we used to be. It is weird.

What you are actually seeing happen: politically engaged people are ignoring you or just brushing you aside or even telling you to shut or get lost because you don't matter to them politically. This might be an adjustment for you but no one has to answer your questions or convince you to accept the new consensus. If you mattered to them they would, but you got left behind because you don't.
I'm not sure; to be honest most the women I'm subscribed to are in the sub-100k range (I think all are sub-200k.) I think those comment sections are mature and constructive more often than not. Within that range, I still notice a general trend of comments being better when channels are smaller. The curve might be shifted, but I think the trend line probably has the same shape.

The sad part about this is the fact that there are many youngsters in the comments of the page begging for instructions on how to make it, with none being revealed.
Cool stuff, I have a few questions:

- Is DCN a smart contract where centralized exchanges push settlement groups to (say once every x minutes)? This would indeed allow for fast offchain matching while settling onchain. However the CEX needs to feed in all signatures from all traders, resulting in a big bloat nonetheless (ETH blockchain is over 1TB right now).

- This would require users to lock funds not just in the DCN, but tell the DCN at what specific exchanges these funds can be spent. If not a user can give 2 exchanges the same signature (to the same funds locked in DCN) and trade the same funds twice.
This is widely believed but I think in most cases not true. Goldratt’s ‘The Goal’ https://www.amazon.com/Goal-Process-Ongoing-Improvement-eboo... illustrates how this works in a factory setting, but you can apply the principles to most work processes.
And then there's common law, which is essentially judge-made law.

Case law is very much law. Judges are not supposed to invent law from whole cloth, sure, but they are supposed to make law in a very specific and important sense: by interpreting law (including constitutional law) when its meaning isn't clear. The fact that some judges abuse this to set policy does not mean that judges shouldn't make law -- it only means that some judges don't have the right stuff to be judges. But judge-made law is a thing, and a real and legitimate thing. Downvoting this won't make it not so. Please acquaint yourselves with English and American jurisprudence, law, and constitutions.
Please search for my reply on the "this is why you're here" case on this page for more info. Basically, I claim that to reach such conclusions you need an imaginary pedophile in your mind that gets aroused by the material (but not the entire thing, only the timestamp). Then, and only then, this product of fiction makes that context unmistakable.

In reality, I could have in my mind someone that gets aroused by... maraccas (I don't know, it's the most mundane thing I could think of). There's a maraccas video, and there's a comment with a timestamp that says "this is why you're here", so in my mind, there's this group of people that get aroused by maraccas and this comment is for them. The intent and context is clear. All this fabrication is not less real that yours.

Chances are there's a guy out there that actually matches the pedophile in your mind, however, they're not wasting their time clicking timestamps on youtube. If you research porn, people get adapted and need worse and worse things to "get on". The actual pedophile stopped being impressed by such timestamps content long time ago.
Is there any reason not to do CGP preemptively?
It took this case to set a precedent, I’m sure there were other more high crime to value ratio forfeitures. I’m glad this is in place because it was a tactic used by low life’s to take someone’s house by slapping on a small criminal offense on someone
Are those attitudes really that popular on HN? Most of the comments I see are pretty cycnical about emerging technologies and longshot bets.

The thing is, after she got that $200k in branded VC capital from family friend Tim Draper, Holmes went knocking on the doors of all the big silicon valley VC firms and all the big bio-sciences VC firms. They consulted with blood scientist type people who informed them device had zero chance of living up to it's promise. All of them said "Sorry Elizabeth, we must politely decline your invitation to flush our money down the toilet."

The money she did get after that seed funding was from fly-by night wannabe VCs, and the bandwagon effect took off from there. Who did their due diligence? Nobody. I'm not shedding any tears for Rupert Murdoch, but there were hedge fund managers in charge of people's pensions who gave Theranos 100s of millions of dollars without looking into what it was they were spending other people's money on. It baffles me that anyone that stupid can get to be in charge of that much money in the first place.
That’s beautiful irony, although the concentric circles is far from a British-only symbol
It seems like your back-of-the-envelope estimate is assuming that the market values UBS at exactly its assets minus its liabilities. This disregards goodwill, which (someone correct me if I'm wrong) includes expectations of future earnings. That number wouldn't even be affected in a straightforward way since banks, especially European banks, tend to be levered quite a bit in order to survive on interest income.
Maybe.

How to Search for a Job
Better marketing sometimes is the better business model.

Can you do basic scripting? Can you do advanced scripting, with such revolutionary capabilities as calling out to external APIs for stuff like OCR?

Then rejoice! As you have the potential to make your very own billion dollar business[1]! Just leverage those skills for process automation, market it as "software robots", leverage the existing perception of "robot replaces human" to make the recurring $10k/year cost for your automation script seem like a steal compared to the labor costs of a human, and through in some AI references for a bonus multiplier on your valuation potential.

Process improvement and automation has been a thing for ages. Marketing it as "software robots" is much newer. Turns out that particular phrase resonates really well with the target market.
