Great idea for service, but it has to be lightning fast to be in the middle of thousands of requests a minute as someone is surfing the web without making the web feel sluggish.

In NYC on the largest metro ISP. Earlier in the day, was getting 25-43 msec to the typical major DNS providers (1.1.1.1, 4.4.4.4, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, as well as AdGuard), and usually 71 - 73 msec to you.

After a while, started getting as slow as 280 msec to you.

Last hour or so, mostly just getting timeouts to you, making the web, as well as apps, unusable.

Had to revert.

This is a lovely comment, and now I'm super curious to see what the site is.
> Like my election results submissions just a few minutes ago. Yes, it's not final, but projections are very accurate, and every major news outlet is reporting those.

The HN Guidelines say:

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. ... If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic."

Election results are (1) politics and (2) covered on TV news.

But I'm puzzled about why your medical story got flagged. Could you post the link in a comment so we can see what it was?
What you described is called cognitive conservatism, which is a common defense of Dunning-Kruger rockstars.
No free hardware for reviewing, and having to wait until the hardware is available to the general public, so every other site has scooped you.
...you sign a legally binding NDA to be able to early-access the CPUs, test & review them; get the semi-classified technical documents to develop your new servers.

If you don't sign that NDA you can't buy the CPUs from intel to resell them. Even if you are able to buy the CPUs from them, there's no guarantee that you'll buy from the list price or get the discounts for big, prestige projects which require tenders.

It's a deep and ugly rabbit hole.
It is "different now". The DS bubble popping was covered well by Vicki Boykis:

> Since academia is typically a lagging indicator in adoption to new trends in the work place, it’s been long enough that it’s truly worrying for junior data scientists, all of who are hoping to find data science positions. It can be very hard for someone with a new degree in data science to find a data science position, given how many new people they’re competing with in the market.

Does the new Windows 10 sandbox feature help mitigate Meltdown/MDS?
For the background WorkManager has done wonders.

For hardware, I believe that 100%. I am talking about "regular" android apps that don't need deep access to the hardware. By deep I mean something harder than recording something (e.g. taking/picking a picture is delegated to the default system app, not the one you build) or displaying the current position with a mapping sdk.

Bluetooth in particular I can believe. It is amazingly complex and adding the OEMs customizations on top must be a total pain.
The original original is from Jonathan Swift: "Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead."
A Curious Sequence of Prime Numbers
That's not unique to Android. I still use an old iPad 3 (stuck on iOS 9) for movies & audiobooks in bed. I can still use Netflix, Plex, & Audible because I downloaded them a long time ago. But I recently switched to 1Password and I can't install it on that iPad.
Sounds like it. None of the brand names you mention were known in my part of the US at the time, and I don't even recognize any of them today except for Gundig.

For TVs, Japan very conveniently for the US shares the same NSTC standard, their only issue is that half of Honshuu, the big island, is on 50 cycle power, the other on 60 cycles (both at 110-120V for consumers like the US with our 60 cycle power). So with their two biggest markets being satisfied with the same gear, I can well imagine the fragmented European market suffering.

Note also SECAM for France, countries it influenced, and apparently Eastern Europe per Wikipedia either initially so its subjects under Soviet domination couldn't receive PAL signals from across the Iron Curtain, or because it's insensitive to amplitude and phase variations from long cable or microwave links.

What about radios? While Sony pioneered the small and inexpensive lo-fi radio with their own transistors, this was very big in the 1950s through the 1960s, but by the time I was paying attention in the 1970s no Japanese company had a commanding lead in radios in the US, they were pretty much a low end commodity by then, except for shortwave sets, which weren't big in the US by then.

The first Walkman was released in Japan in 1979, the brand and general format was very big in the US by the early 1980s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman

Sony and Phillips also closely collaborated on the Compact Disc, its capacity was supposedly dictated by one Sony guy's insistence that Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as conducted by Herbert von Karajan would fit on one (you have to split a movement between sides for a single vinyl LP release, that was very annoying).

They also scored a big early hit two years later in late 1984 with a very small CD player, the head of the project estimated how small was possible with current technology, made a block of wood that size, and challenged his engineers to make one no bigger. Ah, the "Discman", it was per Wikipedia and my memory very important in the early adoption of CDs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discman
I now realize, I didn't add a conclusion.

My little site is 'local' - I don't have to deal with the world turning up.

I don't need admins, I don't need a TOS, I don't need arbitration systems etc etc.

There's a good community of people who just get along.
Rough edges were knocked off a long time ago.

We're a little niche ignored by the world - and we like it that way.

Issues with 'toxic' influx come when you're trying to drive people in/draw attention.
If you find tall buildings dystopian, approximately all of human civilization and, for the matter, the entire surface of the earth will fit your preferences.

If on the other hand the isolation and car dependence of suburbia is dystopian to you, your only options are a few blocks in each of a few cities, all of them astronomically expensive because so many people share that preference.

Bravo to Vancouver. Cities should be cities.

And the post you replied to is also talking about how Anil Dash behaves on Twitter (== comment section of an online community), and I agree with them that though he might not agree with this assessment, Dash's behavior is more likely to fall on the asshole side than not.

This isn't about the ad-hominem. The general point Dash is trying to make is fine. But it's easy to preach about not allowing assholes when you don't consider yourself to be one. The day the zeitgeist shifts considerably in the favor of assessing him as an asshole, I suspect Dash might sing a very different tune about site moderation policies.

The Virgo Cluster is pretty far away, so if anything from it does merge with our galaxy anytime soon I’d think it’d be because it was moving in a collision path rather than the two being gravitationally attracted together (as the Milky Way and Andromeda are).
And iPhones still don't come close to competing with desktop-class processors in terms of performance. iPhones also use much less electricity, of course, but the point remains.

I don't know enough about this, but the GP's argument of "Intel hit the wall first because they were the first to reach that level of performance" makes logical sense to me.
I feel like not having a GC is rust’s biggest advantage over higher level languages. It allows rust to work in environments that only languages like C, C++ can work in. (Embedded, shared libraries, etc)
Lumping all advertising into one box isn't just disingenuous, it's harmful.

Is the farmer advertising his grass-fed, hormone-free beef as a better alternative to what's currently standard grocery store garbage, doing harm?

There's a spectrum to everything, including tech.
No, the businesses that you need to worry about generally won't track or share this information.

Lenders need to see bank accounts and transaction histories (last 6 months, at least). With transaction records, along with accounting records, it's a fairly straightforward data science task to determine a) whether you are seeing the entire cash picture and b) whether the business has other loans. One should also get tax returns; with those and accounting data one can make a good guess at whether c) the business is just making up numbers when it comes to their operations.
For those who don't get your reference, here is the canonical “Considered Harmful” Essays Considered Harmful:

https://meyerweb.com/eric/comment/chech.html
Intel has never told AnandTech not to benchmark their microcode updates or a third party's OS updates. They haven't threatened to stop sampling CPUs for review. I haven't seen any evidence that Intel has ever attempted to enforce such a restriction against anyone. It's just a stupid clause that one of their dumber lawyers slipped into the EULA text, and does not appear to be something they actually care about at an organizational level or expect to be able to enforce in the real world.
I agree, but it's important to understand this strictly, and not come to the conclusion that all views are equal and equally true.

To more mathematically minded people I'd explain it like this: two political stances can be correct at the same time, because political stances are projections of high-dimensional conceptual structures to lower-dimensional space. Both a circle and a rectangle are correct 2D projections of a 3D cylinder. But if your 2D projection of a cylinder looks like a hexagon, you're wrong.
I just want to make sure I'm characterizing your comment right.

You're saying that because we're nerds and physicists we can't understand public health, epidemiology, ecosystemology, politics, or (what you alluded to) caring about others? Did I get the gist?

Because I'm confused. Who do you think creates the models for public health? Who do you think does ecosystemology, biology, climate studies, and the rest? I'll admit that you got me on politics, but the other parts are kinda laughable.

We are pro-nuclear BECAUSE we care about public health. We just have read the numbers and have seen them say that this energy source does the least damage (while filling in gaps that before only fossil fuels could fill). We, unfortunately, can't save everyone, but we're doing our damnedest to save as many as we can. The same goes for the wild life and well being of the planet. We can't send everyone back to the dark ages, so we'll do our best to find ways that minimize the damage, and where possible reverse it or even make things better than we found them (but that is almost impossible, though we're getting closer to being able to do it). I write this comment BECAUSE I care about the world and the people living on it. That is why we fight.

And I need to stress that no one that is advocating nuclear is saying that are whole grid should be nuclear. We want diversified portfolios. We support France's goals of reduction and increase in renewables. We see that as an ideal model which should be emulated.

Yay let's talk about how nerds are heartless and just don't care about people.

Yay let's decry the third world and all those affected by the worsening effects of climate change, just because we have the money to deal with the harsh realities of climate change.

But yeah, call us heartless. Call us naive. Tell us about how our only cry is about hysteria. I hope you have showed everyone just how much you care. We see it. But we do not see action. So you have told us how much we don't care. Now show us how much YOU do. Not by decree, but by what can be done to address these problems you accuse us of not caring about.

Please proceed.
How some cities became rat-free zones
It does make a difference when you believe that the reason Dash is making this kind of argument is because of his life experiences (or lack thereof).

The general point Dash is trying to make about moderating communities is fine. But it's easy to preach about not allowing assholes when you don't consider yourself to be one. The day the zeitgeist shifts considerably in the favor of assessing him as an asshole, I suspect Dash might sing a very different tune about site moderation policies.
How is sending the recordings of one user to another a result of law complexity?

In any case, there's no increased complexity here; the Data Protection Directive (enacted in 1995) already mandated access to one's data (Article 12 - Right of access). The GDPR mostly gave some real teeth to that existing right.
That doesn't get rid of ads.

Some of the scams have the caller actually pretending to be YOU. So if they have the agreement to consult with you before sending any money, what are they going to do?
I've been tracking the data from Google's Android dashboards over time : https://www.bidouille.org/misc/androidcharts

From these observations, it seems that Android's fragmentation is getting worse, and that newer versions of Android have more and more trouble establishing themselves as the dominant version. In fact, JellyBean was the last version to reach more than 50%.
Have them use a u2fa token (that you help them setup) for their important accounts. Those are nearly, if not completely, impossible to phis and they are relatively inexpensive and really simple to use.
Do you work for Anandtech? If not, what are you basing these claims on? I suspect that Anandtech, etc would not publicly disclose if a hardware manufacturer was forbidding them from benchmarking certain configurations under threat of not releasing samples..
You're not IT trained but you knew Oracle PL/SQL?

Edit: I know it's gauche to complain about downvotes, so I'll explain my question further. I find his situation extremely interesting as I associate Oracle with the "IT-iest" of "IT" things.
Happy to pay. Your feature set is already fantastic, and love the many methods to leverage it from various devices or configurations.

But has to be rock solid, and fast.

I think this is a bit too cynical view.

For example, as a society, we are constantly reminding people to not drink and drive. There are still people doing it all the times. That doesn't mean telling people not to drink and drive is a lip service to look good. There can be bad apples anywhere. The fact that they try should be viewed as a positive, not a negative.

The comment said he shouldn't make the argument. That's one kind of ad hominem, a tu quoque

You're (possibly unwittingly) making another, an ad hominem circumstantial, by questioning his motives.

It's always best to just debate the argument itself and leave the author's character and motives and misconceptions out of it.

Otherwise we end up spending a lot of time discussing Mr. Dash, instead of discussing moderation of online communities,.

Most 9900K can hit 5.0 all core OC for non-AVX loads.

With AVX 4.8-4.9 is still doable without hitting the top 30% of CPUs in the CPU lottery.

My 9900K does 5.1 without any AVX offset but this is a top 10-20% CPU if the figures form Silicon Lottery are to be believed.

So it’s not that surprising Intel can simply bin CPUs to do 5.0 at near stock voltages since many resellers have been doing just that.
This is essentially what the article says.
I love these kinds of sites, and they always leave an impression on me, even when I only spend a day or two lurking the recent posts. Especially ones designed for niche interests such as old and long-dead games.

I'm really curious about this!

Can I ask what city you work in? I'm going to school for CS and I see a lot of students trying to get into DS with little or no avail.
Thanks for the input. That’s very helpful!

My in-laws got hit by an absolutely ridiculous phone scam. Basically some guy called and said "Hey this is Apple, this is an emergency, your iCloud got hacked, you need to install this remote desktop software and give me your credit card info so I can fix it for you". They are smart people but they still fell for it. So, the advice we gave them was that no organization is going to use a phone call to deliver important or urgent information. So if a call like that comes in, just ignore it or ask for a call-back number and then try to verify it by asking us. If a company or government agency truly wants to convey important info to you, they'll send mail.
> It seems like you went in with preconceived notions about the subject.

This rather seems more applicable to the wsj and you. The op points out how weak some of these claims are, which is a sign that the wsj is desperately throwing everything at the wall and hope something sticks. This figures given they're a largely conservative pub prone to supporting the gop/Trump econ policy, which I might add a disturbing proportion of techies are sympathetic towards.

What's particularly revealing about this issue is how many parrot the "stealing" talking point while at same time going on in the past about how software shouldn't be patented etc. Basically it shows they want to be able to use the ideas of others but not vice versa when they're getting beat, typical hypocrisy.
Yeah, I’ve experienced several instance retirements. Most with a fair bit of warning, one a few minutes after the instance stopped responding. I haven’t gotten a retirement warning in several years, so it seems they're doing something to mitigate hardware failures, although my infrastructure is small enough it could just be luck.

Plus Xen has live migrate now, so I assume AWS’s frankenxen would have it as well.

There is indeed a brief interrupt, which is why I said they can’t be too aggressive with it.

Anyways, I’m sure Amazon does what it can to power down machines, I just think they’re stuck leaving much the data center running because they can’t kick off running VMs.

> ...instead of viewing flashcards, you take batch tests, typing answers into blanks, tabbing from one field to the next. The machine grades your answers as a batch, and you can take a new test immediately over just the unanswered/incorrect items.

You could integrate this with spaced repetition as well, though it would only be more efficient than the flashcard format when the answer really is incredibly easy to type in. OTOH, it introduces a verification aspect that makes this applicable to adversarial scenarios. The Khan Academy does this already, btw - once you make an account on the site, it has a "Review" feature that operates on SRS principles.
Right, I think that's where the idea of "debt is bad" comes from, only thinking about money as "i can only use money to pay for expenses" as opposed to "i can use this to make more money", and then of course you always have to consider inflation as well.
>Oh! Don't feel too bad. While the late 70s and early 80s were a great time to be alive (and interested in small computers,) there was still that nagging feeling that if you could only get a system with just 64k more memory, you could do WONDERFUL things, instead of the mundane things you were working on.

Which eventually turned out to be false. Instead we got Slack, Facebook, and Electron apps using those gigabytes for things one could do in a PDP-11.
It is hard to understate how MISLEADING these dashboards are. They are so, so, so wrong. I've professionally worked on several apps/libraries which reached millions of Android users and not one of them (not one!) had a distribution that's even close to what those dashboards show.

Any kind of app that's not exclusively targeting emerging markets on 512MB phones will have significantly higher percentage of newer Androids. If you're targeting US, EU, China, Japan, Korea and S. America you'll probably have Androids before 6.x in marginal <10% total figures.

Any kind of app that's being released together with its iOS version will probably have double to triple percentage of new Android versions and pretty much non-existant usage stats on Androids before 5.0.

Those dashboards reflect pretty much no app published on Play store - not even apps like Facebook.
This argument doesn't exclude "too big to moderate" sites. Huge social networks chose to scale at the cost of making it impossible to control the assholes. It seems that's a good financial decision to running a profitable company, but it doesn't make it not their fault.
You seem to have an axe to grind against Seroquel. I don't fault you for it. I hate it. I wouldn't take it if I hadn't explored other options to their exclusion. In my case I take it both for sleep issues and because it's on-label and effective as an adjunctive treatment for other health issues.

Otherwise I wasn't referencing lurasidone for it's sedative properties (it can have the opposite effect) but in comparison with Seroquel for it's use on-label as an antpsychotic. Sorry if there was confusion there. It's a much better option than Seroquel, if it happens to work for you. It doesn't always.
