One way to put it that I've heard from meditation teachers is that it's very nice and useful to have your mind be a bit more "spacious." So you practice a kind of distancing where you let everything like thoughts and perceptions sort of just glide by. One way is to anchor your attention to your breathing and then get into a relaxed flow state. Most meditators report that this does not impair their normal functioning but gives them a beneficial clarity and peacefulness. It doesn't mean that you need to constantly second-guess your thoughts in everyday life; you should rather just be as you are, with just normal self-restraint, not add more "knots" to your mind.
I love it how everyone is downvoting you for pointing out something super basic: GDPR is essentially the government deciding that everyone in Europe's data belongs to the government, to decide what they can use it for and what they can't. That's not personal data rights. That's other people deciding what's best for you.
One of the most incredible things about that is that the New York Times only published the story when the journalist who had uncovered it threatened to publish it outside the paper. They were willing to sit on one of the biggest stories in their history, at the request of the government, until they were faced with the prospect of getting scooped. Wikileaks would have published right away, informing the US electorate (I mean, "interfering in the 2004 election by providing truthful information to the public").

Ask HN: HackerNews favorites backend
Favoriting a submission is the only time I've ever seen an error on the HN website. Retries usually work.

I'm curious about what's different in the backend between all the site functionality and favorites. DB?

It seems like this could be an interesting discussion.
Sorry man, didnt mean to make it weird for you like that. I definitely did not mean for it to be taken that way.
Several specifically pre-GDPR issues are mentioned but still attributed to GDPR.

GDPR is a win for the consumer. Not perfect, but overall a great step forward. But I do think The Right To Be Forgotten is a terrible idea. However, it was NOT introduced with GDPR, and there are several cases prior to GDPR.

Perhaps there are good points to be made. But the article fails to stay sober with the misleading and sensational claims.
My main beef with OSC is that there is no “there” there. It is hyper flexible at the cost of you needing to design your own meta-protocol. Like every single instrument that supports OSC has a different API with a mess of docs you need to read. Doesn’t really get me in the mood for making music.
The DAW manufacturers had a very hard time creating user interfaces that studio engineers could use to configure OSC, and I think that was a main reason nobody ever used it as a synthesizer control protocol.

An important question to ask yourself is: what do you envision yourself doing at companies like these?

AFAIK, there isn't any such thing. Unlike web jobs, where demand is (for the moment) so high that even less experienced people have at least some chance of being considered, systems programming jobs more or less require you to know your stuff up-front because most of the abstractions that web or app programmers take for granted simply don't exist at the systems programming level.

Sorry, I don't follow. Zero interest? Are we talking about the same interest? We're paying hundreds of billions of dollars to China in interest. In what world is China going to let the US keep its money and lower the interest it receives in return to zero?

I think you're missing my point. The reason for (1) is the idea that "maximizing shareholder value" is the only goal of a corporation. There are two other stakeholders in a corporation who get shortchanged because of this principle. Of course, suppliers are there, but consider that we are their customers (we being the corporation under consideration).

Also note that this is what I follow personally and it's based on fifteen years of experience working for many companies. I would hardly call that arbitrary, and certainly not arbitrary in quotation marks. Whether that's right for an entire industry, is an open question.
The billionaire vs NBA comparison would make more sense if the number of billionaires allowed to exist was a fixed number.
I'm fairly sure that cell phones are mostly harmless, but the argument that the radiation is not ionizing is a poor one. We know that tissue absorbs some of the radiation, with a fairly strong dependence on the frequency. Biological systems are messy and poorly understood and I find it plausible that slightly wiggling the molecules around disturbs some reaction pathway or other. Given the prevalence of cell phones thoroughly testing this hypothesis is totally warranted imho.
its actually terrifying how accurate this is. most people live extremely mundane lives so they latch onto some lore whether its a book or their twitter feed. just the recent game of thrones petition/outrage shitstorm, the show gave people something to war over twitter about, with their coworkers, their family

its definitely why politics now is incredibly toxic and i dont really understand why anyone contributes or even cares about political twitter dunking, its definitely not healthy

a community in chaos, full of micro tribes following their own lore used to be cause for war and now we have it, in extremely quick replies at all times anywhere
Allow me to view log lines nearby a specific line that showed up in a search, kind of like grep -C n. Use case is that I’m seeing HTTP 500s from my web service. I can isolate the log lines for those requests, but if I want to see the extra lines (perhaps for a crash) that led up to it, I have to remove my search filter and manually set a time range that’s small enough that it returns fewer than 1000 lines.

That, and retention policies. I just had a disk fill up because Loki keeps saving data.

That said, I’ve been using Loki for several months and I love it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the feedback, I am going to take your feedback and implement it in the app. I will get back to you in the next few days!
I wouldn't worry about it. HN karma is effectively useless, and you can get downvoted for all sorts of silly reasons... ranging from "person was actually trying to upvote you but misclicked" to "you said something that goes against the prevailing collective wisdom and people downvoted you to express disagreement" to "you actually did something that's against the site terms", and everything in between.

Your karma is going to fluctuate over time... don't take it personally.
From your perspective, I suppose everything is possibly carcinogenic since you don't care about whether technically speaking something "can't" cause cancer. I would give more credibility to the numerous scientific studies that have look at this than the words (that could be applied to literally anything) of some working group associated with The WHO. https://www.who.int/en/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/electrom...
From the article: "Interest rates, already one of the fastest rising costs in the federal budget, will rise as the political crisis builds, because foreign borrowers will demand an additional risk premium."

Wrong. Interest rates will rise if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates. They will not if it does not. The Fed controls 100% of overnight rates and virtually all of the rest of the yield curve[1]: "as we went out on the curve the correlations remained very tight (FFR at 100%, 3 month at 97%, 1 year at 96%, 5 year at 91%, 10 year at 86%, 30 year at 87%). Even at the longest duration there is an 87% correlation between the movements of the Fed Funds Rate and the 30 year bond. In other words, the bond market is the Fed’s whipping boy. Not the other way around."

What the Fed does not control is the US dollar's foreign exchange rate. So it's entirely possible that debt ceiling worries will cause a weaker dollar. Paradoxically though, they might cause a stronger dollar since the government not issuing debt actually constrains the dollar supply. Sovereign finances are deeply weird, and global reserve currencies are too.

It's free during beta, then freemium with low pricing tiers (something like free up to 500,000 DNS queries a month, then $0.99/month). We will tweak later based on actual costs at scale, but it will follow this logic.
I've been using adguard dns for a while and while it's an amazing service for mobile, the thing I don't like about it is that it's super aggressive at blocking malware sites and sometimes even blocks legit sites with no way to whitelist.

I believe your service would also solves this problem. Congrats on the launch too!
> The RD-170 actually produced more thrust than the F-1, but since it barely ever flew, I figured it wasn’t as relevant in this line up, figured it’s better to go with engines that have actually been used, a lot!

Wikipedia lists some 84 launches - including a dozen of failures - of Zenit, which uses RD-171 on the first stage - the near-twin of RD-170. That's a lot of launches.
There’s a large distinction between BGP announcing and running a properly balanced anycast network. Vultr is not designed for this, they have limited bgp community strings - so running an anycast network there will work either only with select locations, or with sinkholes pulling in traffic from far away.
Even so, being able to mix the premixed descriptive video track with the normal audio track may still be helpful to users who want different mixing levels than what they used (because sometimes the music is too quiet, for example). (I don't like descriptive video so much myself, but some people do use it, and so may wish to alter the setting.)
I would be very interested in reading about your process (e.g., what kinds of cards you make, what sort of questions you ask yourself, how this varies depending on the source or the subject, etc.).

Have you written about this in any detail somewhere? Or do you have links to resources you used to help learn how to do this?
I work for a large organisation and a small part of our website is still maintained by a couple of non-technical editors using an old copy of Dreamweaver. Works great, though the sysops complain about keeping FTP going. Eventually they'll be moved onto our more modern but complicated CMS.
Global birth rate is declining almost across the board. It’s the lowest it’s been in the US in the last 30+ years with no signs of speeding up.

Also be careful what you wish for. Some of our most important social programs (such as social security) have intense insolvency issues as birth rates continue to decline.
Reading your comment history, as a general recommendation try to avoid oneliners. Add more information, or explain your ideas more thoughtfully. Sometimes oneliners are too similar to "I agree" or "I disagree" that has too few information. Try to find a link that support your position.
You're missing the point. They don't give a shit about quality, they just want to make money off you.
Metafilter has often been suggested here but I never got used to its format. It's been a while though.

If you search here for "HackerNews for $subject", you may get lucky.

PS.: HN has been the best place for civil discussions for me. besides increased competition, what are you missing?
It's not the spike, it's probably a combination of:

- a routing imperfection (this things need to be tweaked over time).

- the fact that we didn't deploy our PoP in India yet (coming this month).

Can you talk to us on the chat if you have some time? It would help to do some debugging.
> Quality of life tends to increase, and correspondingly impact increases

I’m not sure I agree that this is true because it ignores all of the efficiency gains (especially in electronics but in other things as well) we’ve seen the last 50+ years. Not to mention things like renewable solar which is not readily and cheaply available.
> how much it costs to develop an app

i don't care as a consumer how much it cost to develop. If i can see benefit of the app, and that benefit is worth more than the sticker price, then the app is worth it. Most apps aren't worth their sticker price.

Probably China laughing at and ignoring any climate agreement again.
I hate WYSIWYG (although I am not trying to prohibit anyone from writing/using them if they want to, only to say that you should not be forced to use WYSIWYG), but certainly for a lot of stuff, static web pages (especially if do not require script and a lot of other external resources) would be helpful, and sometimes gopher would do better, too. (Use of other protocols is also sometimes helpful for non-static stuff too, such as telnet/SSH for interactive sessions, or remote virtual table protocol (or maybe a better protocol and implementation can be made up), for remote database queries.)
This article is very impressive to me. China is able to project cultural power to US universities.

That’s incredible. The West has no comparable. We’re too confused these days with the myriad of identity politics in our democracy and China has realized that that is a weakness and is going to exploit it.
Could be a routing issue (this things need to be tweaked over time). Can you talk to us via the chat on the website so we can debug?
The OP did not say we need to reel it in over the course of only 1 or 2 generations.

They said that, until we do, the situation will remain precarious. I'm sure you can imagine an (admittedly extremely improbable) scenario where the global population shrinks to 4 billion over the course of 500 years without significant injustice being done to anyone to achieve the shrinkage.

Sadly, when it comes to greenhouse-gas-driven climate change, the timeline on which we will succeed or fail to address the problem is too short for any population size adjustments to be of any use (unless you want to achieve the adjustment by mass murder).

This is probably the source of any misunderstanding between you. The OP is not contemplating mass murder, but does not appreciate the urgency of the climate issue. You appreciate the urgency and so assume the OP must be advocating an "immediate" extermination.
That was my feeling as well. There may be some gems in there but so much of it comes with such political overtones that it's hard to read without becoming increasingly cynical.
>my “success” is solely because of my “hard work” and none of it can be attributed to luck.

That's near the opposite of what I said. Please don't lazily pattern match me to some strawman argument and attack on that basis.

I'm happy to continue if you want to respond to what I actually wrote.
It did drop in the us over the past decade though (for various reasons). I think it is possible, but would require something drastic changing about the way people work/live. If more people worked remotely, better infrastructure for a local lifestyle, etc, etc. The US average is like 12 kW per person, the world average is I think about 3. Surely it is possible without conflict, just requires the magic combination of better and more efficient. I keep thinking recently how it has changed from everyone watching one big tv and fighting over the channel, vs watching whatever you want on your mobile device. It is worse and better at the same time and probably more energy efficient and has become the norm. Makes me wonder what is the equivalent for transport, etc?
13 year timescale.
I don't know how you can say that's easy with a straight face. You just mentioned at least 5 software projects and/or technologies that a large bulk of people have never heard of.
Right now it's disabled for everyone, it will be supported with an option to disable it.
Nice. Congrats on the release! If you're allowing custom profiles with custom block/whitelist domains it means you're holding a database on this thing and doing lots of queries on requests. Will your product be able to scale with more users since it's free? How are you keeping all this logic from affecting your latency? I'm curious of technical implementations that's all.
Can you please clarify? Is it like that in your company or is it the case with all of your country?
Disclaimer: I run a competing service.

India is difficult. I run our anycast network and we have coverage in India but I look forward to improved routing there in the future with additional transit providers.

It seems nextdns is announcing exclusively with Vultr: https://bgp.he.net/net/5.182.208.0/24

Chinese are unhappy for this article by a ethnic Chinese person from Hong Kong, since this people in HK never fought against British for democracy or even similar rights they have since 1997. Even though British treated them like a bonded servant without brains, give them money, food, they are happy. Chinese government give them more rights except full political freedom. Now this people wants to hide their ethnicity as Chinese because they think they are superior to mainland Chinese. This cause an outrage. I do not like personal attacks on the article writer, but probably people should resort to polite debate and discourse. But given modern obsession with social network I don't see it.

I feel China is as terrifying as USA if you cross paths with government agencies. It has its own problems like any other government including USA. Let's wait for indictment of Assange under espionage act, it will erode first amendment rights which I think is one of the good thing in USA to keep democracy alive.
This is great material for AA on history channel.
That started almost 50 years ago. Now China wants its citizens to have more babies, but it has not been able to incentivize them.
This is only partially correct. A VIPT cache uses the offset into the page to know which set of the L1 cache to read. You still need the result of the TLB to know the line.

This is clear from the fact that a page is 4KB while the L1 data cache is 32KB, so the page offset cannot contain enough information to tell the processor which part of L1 to read.
Also, to draw lines where is the indentations for replies to make it more clear to follow them, I also did. In case it may be useful to anyone who reads this, here is the CSS code that I used:

div.comment * {
color: #000000 !important;
}
.ind {
background: url(file:///var/www/img_1C/bg1.png);
}

If it helps, I automated those steps into a simple tracker form: http://me.cmdr2.org/starlink/ will let you find when Starlink will pass over your selected city.

This is using the exact same approach that many redditors said worked for them, but does the data-crunching for you. It's a modified version of the tool you linked to (Jen Satre's excellent satellite calculator), and hardcodes the Starlink data.

Weird that there's no mention of the melting permafrost as a methane source. I thought that was a well understood potential feedback loop for climate change.
lol wut. I have friends now of several decades who I see regularly (make effort to visit cross country) none of whose birthdays I know or who know mine.
And yet five years ago the French government committed to dropping their nuclear power generation from 75% to 50% by 2025.

Last year this was revised out by ten years -- same target, though, but aiming for 50%.

So one country briefly had three quarters of their power coming from nuclear, and this country's typically held up as the poster child of nuclear fission, and they're moving away from it.

Cat has left the bag. Database is probably already being matched with OPM hack etc to find the targets.
Yes. Exactly. They can be used with local Jupiter notebook instance as well.
The problem is that you’re conflating two issues that should be separate: paywalls vs article/source quality.

The article posted on HN should be the best generally-accessible article on that topic, end of story. In this case, if the Forbes article is better, that's the one that should be here. If the NYT version is better, that's the one that should be here. If they're about on par with one another, then the first one to be posted and upvoted should remain, as nobody would want a norm in which the moderators unilaterally change a submission to a different source from what was originally submitted and upvoted by the community.

If it has a paywall, the only question is, is there a workaround that would allow anyone to access it. In the case of the NYT, the answer seems to be yes; you just need a browser instance that hasn't exceeded the NYT's monthly limit. I haven't heard anyone ever say it's impossible for them to access NYT content. Just sometimes inconvenient, if you need to open a different browser window. For me, if I'm on mobile, that might mean switching from my usual Chrome instance to Safari or Firefox. But I've never found a case where I can't access it. It's a little inconvenient, but it's OK. Other people have different standards of convenience. E.g., some people disable all Javascript and get annoyed that a site won't render for them. So you can never meet everyone's standards.

I totally understand that you're well-intentioned and are wanting to find a solution that is best for the broader HN community.

But please understand that those of us who have been on HN a long time (12 years in my case) have seen this topic thrashed out repeatedly (sometimes multiple times per week). We've all discussed an thought about it enough that we understand that the policy the HN mods have arrived at and written into the guidelines is a variant of the old adage: the worst form of government, except for all the others.

Other policies would lead to scenarios in which there are arguments amongst the community and mods over whether an arguably-slightly-less-good-but-non-paywalled version should be favored over an arguably-slightly-better-but-weakly-paywalled version. Or alternately, any sites with paywalls, even porous ones like NYT, should be banned altogether. None of these outcomes are clearly better than the one we have.

I know imperfect solutions are hard to stomach sometimes!
