Would this crazy-ass strategy work?

1. Spin up 50 AWS Lightsail instances[0] for parallelism

2. In each instance download from S3 and upload to B2.

S3 to any AWS service in the same region is free[1]. $5 Lightsail instances come with 2TB of data transfers each, so 50 of them can easily handle 23TB. The whole transfer can be done within a few hours so the total computing cost is less than $10 ($5 / 30 * 50 = $8.3). Total data retrieval cost for S3 is ($0.0007 per GB) * 23,000GB = $16.1.

The Looming Healthcare Market of Big Tech: Why We Should All Be Worried
It was a lot of work but it was my first real attempt at programming and the topic itself was motivating enough to bring it to completion.

Learning from books doesn't work, you need to have a project with a goal to apply it in.

The horrible honest truth is that the world actually doesn't run on bash, python, C or Java.

It runs on Excel macro's.
My Model 3 adds 17km/h at 220V (EU). => 200 km range if you arrive at 6pm and leave at 8am. THis is not a full charge, but it is more than enough for my daily routine.

But I understand, there might be some use cases where this is not enough.

This baffles me. The government is there to serve the people. People are unhappy about what the current mayor is doing, that's why she's getting kicked out. Advocating for the EU to step in and force people to stay unhappy will only increase the anti-EU sentiment, but I guess the cat is out of the bag on that one.
I think that kind of breathing room is also important for fostering entrepreneurship. I moved to China from Hong Kong, you do have some people bumming around but you also have some pretty bright people who quit their jobs to really grind and work on a business idea. I can't imagine doing that in hk, pretty soon your just priced out of soaring rent and cost of living

It's quite possible that I'm just fooled by the ubiquitous "Made in China" stamp.

But another way of looking at your stats is that outsourcing labor-heavy jobs to China indeed decreases the amount of jobs available to local people. Industrial output, on the other hand, only grows because of the automation.
Good for you, man. I hope the money continues to bring you happiness.
I don't think anybody would call China "communist" beyond a symbolic level.

I don't know about macOS, but doesn't most software on Linux require installation? I think the most common ways to distribute software are (1) as a package for your distribution's package manager (which the package manager installs, typically requiring superuser privileges), (2) as source code that you make & install, (3) as prebuilt binaries that you are meant to unpack and install. "Unpack and run from where they are" binaries do of course exist but aren't they less common than those 3 other types?
I stayed in Guangzhou and was struck by how differently they'd handled housing compared to London or SF. Basically there were a lot of approx 35 story similar tower blocks and most people used public transport/taxis rather than having cars. There's really no reason why London/SF couldn't do that apart from government policy. I live in London and like it but wonder if having all the property being some silly multiple of wages is the best way to do things.

>When exactly are we supposed to be learning all these languages?

Some argue that as a professional, you should be spending time outside of work learning to improve your career. You can't expect your employer to give you time to learn.

I find it can be difficult though, especially when you want to spend your time outside of work on other things like family and hobbies.
The problem is that we're not just talking about a relatively-benign violation of things like copyrights, patents or trade secrets ("IP"): Chinese hacking is a severe violation of privacy; and their practice of forcing IP releases from foreign firms is blatantly unfair given that no reciprocity is involved, and indeed China apparently claims that they're uniquely allowed to engage in such policies because of their status as a "developing country" - itself a rather dubious claim given their reported economic performance. Privacy (and protection of physical property, in general) and fairness in trade are basic principles and far from "unjust".

It doesn't matter if you need to contact them.

They're domestic public servants, not clandestine agents operating overseas.

> When exactly are we supposed to be learning all these languages? Nights and weekends that effectively has you working 24/7?

By that logic, you might ask how we have time to do anything? How do we find time to eat? How do we find time for HN?

Learning a programming language doesn't have to mean mastering the language. Make a game out of it. Pick one "thing" about the language and spend 15 minutes on reading / practice on that thing. Make an Anki card (or multiple cards) on that thing and run through the deck for some other 15 period "learning" break. Maybe this doesn't work for you either, but it's something else you can try other than chaining yourself to your computer until you come out a master.
Probably a plugin issue, not a real VScode issue.

TLDR: you essentially never see repeated time stamps.

GPS time is broadcast in the very low bit rate (50 BPS) NAV message, once every 6 seconds. In between the receiver counts at the chip rate (1023 kHz) just counting signal transitions.

A rebroadcast attack happens at the speed of light. A signal is received at Moscow airport and is beamed to the Kremlin via some alternate transport path. At the Kremlin the signal is broadcast immediately at higher power than is possible for the direct signal. This happens at the speed of light.

There is nothing you can do about this without access to a clock that is at least as precise as the GPS satellite's multi-million-dollar onboard clock, which you then somehow keep correctly synchronized at all times.

There are some things that can be done to detect rebroadcast in the RF domain by looking at time of arrival across an antenna array, but again, that's not going to happen in a cell phone or wrist appliance.

There are some techniques that are used to discern direct path signals from multipath ones which involve tracking the lower power level signals, but rebroadcasters make sure they are radiating enough power to put that technique outside the dynamic range of the receiver.
>A basic model of a Dacia Sandero or Duster comes with a basic FM radio and nothing else.

Wrong. The basic model of a Dacia Duster doesn't even come with a radio. You need to upgrade from the Access (base) trim level to the Essential trim level to get a headunit.

> Air quality in the center has also improved, with pollution falling by 8.9% compared to the historic average for the December-March period, according to measurements taken from the Plaza del Carmen monitoring station, the only one located within the Madrid Central area.

8.9% ? Is a significant difference? Was the previous more polluted air any dangerous to breathe comparatively to all other daily risks people face? What are the absolute values of each pollutant instead of reporting everything in percentages and how do they compare to the usual EU limits for the definition of clean air? How does Madrid compare to Paris, London, Frankfurt, Berlin?

There are so many questions to ask before taking action on this kind of things.
*if you are a web developer familiar with these frameworks.
Of course not private. But isn't it fair to say that the only reason this hack and leak is happening is because the work contact information isn't available?
That's it, but not all of it. Saying that in Spain hardly anyone cares about breathing poison is just plain defeatist.

This map [1] shows 2015 results for the municipal elections in Madrid. The center is just one small part of the whole thing. Sadly, it takes a lot more to convince everyone. There's plenty of people on that map that hardly ever visit the center.

Pretty much any city in EU has now some forms of traffic restriction policies. The same is true for where I live as well.

The issue is not really the restriction, but the lack of alternatives. Very few cities have a decent metro zone: these cities are the only ones where I see no objections to stricter traffic policies.

Most cities are only served by public _road_ transport services. This doesn't have the same level of service, by a long shot. There's a huge, _huge_ difference between having to plan your move in 1hr intervals and just hop on a platform having to wait no longer than 10 minutes. Not to mention the cost, inevitable delays due to traffic, shorter service hours and so on.

I would ban all cars tomorrow and sell mine too if I could get anywhere in a metro. Reality is, this is only feasible for very few selected places.

The governments here should make public transport massively better first. The reality is that they just enforce restrictions and provide no alternatives. What do you do then?
I absolutely expect my employer to give me paid time to learn, and only work for those that do.
That is a very complicated statement. People have a very short time horizon as a whole. Politicians that promise to take the short, easy answer are usually ignoring long-term consequences. That leads to a -kind of- populism.

Note: I'm not saying I'm in favour or against Madrid's Mayor, nor her policies.
Some of the drug will always be absorbed orally and travel to the liver through the the portal vein.

Good. I visited Spain a couple decades ago and by far the craziest amount of smog I witnessed was in Madrid. I would be sneezing black stuff by the end of my couple days there. Really hope they get it cleaned up because it's such a neat city.

> Everybody who works on a cross-platform version of a generic utility has potentially many millions of users.

Not the same thing. And other threads have established there are already popular color pickers this would be competing with if rewritten in a native lean style, that this would first need to take mindshare away from as well.

I'm going to assume the answer is "no, this does not currently have a million users".

> Nobody knows.

We can make reasonable guesses. For one, I bet the author can get hired to work on a codebase that actually has a million users, not any of this "potentially maybe in the future" stuff. For another, I know for a fact that many of those codebases - even the native ones - have bigger perf problems, and a lot more room to optimize towards the ideal.

I'm going to assume the answer is "yes, that developer time can be more efficiently used."

> But it's obvious that wasting resources like this is going to scale with every user.

This we can agree on. But there's an opportunity cost[1] to fixing that. Going to the root of the hosting site, it clearly states the author is a webdev, so "fixing" that in the "let's not use electron" sense might involve learning Rust or some other native language first. That's not insignificant. And then you're competing with other already existing perfectly functional native color pickers... so are you actually saving significant hardware costs?

Some times I feel that HN is a real estate forum. People, why are you so crazed about housing? :)

I have following thing to say about real estate in China as a person who's been going in and out of China for last 12 years: conventional supply and demand economics fail to rationally explain the market, alike many other things in the country.

There are big cities with really constrained supply, not unlike California, and still having low rents, and there is Shanghai, with new suburbs and microdistricts popping up every year, but still having highest rent in China despite high vacancy rate even in the city centre.

Housing in China is also a very emotionally charged topic. A lot of status connotation is attached to it, and there is peer pressure like "no wife for you without a house."

Most Chinese I meet can't conceal their bemusement when they see foreigners being so unconcerned with housing issue. These people don't know that in most of the world, renting an apartment, and moreover luxury one, is more expensive than paying for mortgage, and are utterly shocked when I show them the digits. Chinese don't realise just how blessed they are with low rents.

And yes, there are still Chinese out there who are shocked discovering that "most Americans are still living in wooden houses," and that ones who live there tend to be richer than ones buying highrise apartments.
My problem is the opposite: there is so much project I could contribute to, but there is very little time to do so.

Haven't you ever been a broke college grad looking for 3 months with no luck? I'm not exactly on the market right now, but there was a time when I'd take any offer, and making a principled stand over something like NDA/Non-Compete was simply out of the question for me. (And I felt strongly about it, but so did my parents who were growing quite tired of paying to keep me alive, and understandably.)

And what if the next job offer also requires a Non Compete?

You may go all the way through interviewing and accepting the offer, even until you show up on the first day before you find out they require you to sign this piece of paper.

Your options at that point are: (1) don't sign it, don't say anything about not signing it... (2) make a big deal about not signing it, maybe you even ask for more money because this was never part of the deal... (3) walk out.

The point is that after months of job searching and long, involved hiring processes, not everybody is at liberty to "just say no." You're looking for a job because you needed one.

Now sure, they may be the ones hiring because they need you just as badly, but you'll rarely be in a position to know that for sure.

The cup and the plate share many of the same mathematical properties; we know this precisely because they are topologically the same. This means that when you prove that something is (topologically) true for the cup, you know that it is also true for the plate, and for anything "in between". Instead of a statement only applying for the cup, it now applies to a large class of objects, which is very powerful.

As I loosely explained in another comment, you essentially never see repeats. The replay happens at the speed of light, and time stamps are broadcast once every 6 seconds at 50 BPS.

The receiver sees the rebroadcast because it captures the receiver's RF chain by being the strongest signal.
