What you are saying is India has a better human rights record than China. But at the end of the day what exactly is human rights? To you it's the ability to speak freely, to nordic countries it can be free education, free healthcare, and even free internet connections. But to a poor country, what is the most important human right? It's be able to be fed! It's not die!

According to world bank data, China had 755.8 million people living on less than $1.9 a day in 1990. In 2013 it's 25.2 million.

What about India? There are still 268 million people earning less than $1.9 per day in 2011 and data are not collected afterwards[1]. More than doubled the infant mortality rate[2].

Now I believe you live in SFBA. There are ton of mainland Chinese working at AMZ, at FB, at Google, etc. Tons of them in Chinese grocery stores. Go ask them if they think India is better than mainland China to live. Now that they live freely away from mainland China's propaganda, go ask them if they care about the massive crime you are talking about to the degree they would want a government overthrown and have a government similar to India's.

Again my point is there are huge problems about PRC. Still, it would be highly unlikely that the solution is what you, a nonexpert, proposed. I believe there are westerners who understand the problems better than me. But they've spent years of effort studying the issues. Not like you or even me who just read some news articles and think we knew better. Thinking about it it's almost like climate change. Everyone has a say to it no matter what experts think.

False positives in the case of server monitoring are extremely rare and easy to detect when they do happen.

Can you imagine if your server monitoring runs once per minute and randomly fails 1/100 times? You'd be getting panic-inducing server is down emails many times per day. Such server monitoring would produce little to no value as you'd quickly ignore them as noise, just like you should avoid doing more tests like this on your body.

Additionally, CTs in particular produce ionizing radiation and increase your risk of cancer. If monitoring your server increased the risk of it failing, would you still want monitoring on it?

the concern here is about super-slow loading and more tiles to verify when you use Firefox than when you use Google Chrome browser
Of course the HN crowd is willing and able to grasp the long-term consequences of super-centralization. But we also recognize that for the vast majority of the population, some of the benefits that a centralized solution provides - such as UX, discoverability and 'it just works' - are essential, and so far none of the well-meaning open alternatives can compete on those parameters, no matter how much I cheer for their cause. For the vast majority of people, a platform plagued by relatively vague issues like censorship and privacy is still better than a platform that is too cumbersome for me to understand or get started with (and let's be honest, that I've probably never even heard about) - it's simply a non-starter.
I was really hoping that one of the explicitly privacy-focused and user-controlled phones was going to hit the market before I gave in and bought, but sadly too many things were starting to get in the way and effectively forced my hand. At least for now, it's an Android/iOS duopoly for a lot of practical purposes.
RISC-V is only an instruction set architecture, not a microarchitecture. It describes how things work from a software point of view, but it does not require any specific implementation, and it does not require anything to be fast. You can implement instructions with microcode or software if you want to.
That was exactly the state of the Android until 6.x or so and I've had multiple frustrating hours of mentoring Android developers on how to do notifications respectfully just to be ignored with "eh, I'll poll every 10 minutes, it's easy and it works!".

And this has been my experience constantly:

- "Eh, I'll just demand full storage access for my game, it's easier to unpack files in root of sd card"
- "Eh, I'll just constantly reconnect HTTP no matter what the current device state is"
- "Eh, I'll just download 600mb on mobile, it's easier than checking"

There are some developers that did right by users, but enough Android devs are constantly ignoring the best practices of development and users privacy because it's "easier" and requires less code.

Because of that I fully understand Google's new stance: developers haven't proven themselves trustworthy and it seems Apple's way is the only way to defend users against abuse.
Most of their money comes from Google. I presume they see a future where that becomes less likely.

There are some big players that use MQTT although i am not sure about the QoS levels. I know WhatsApp used MQTT, although i am not sure if they still do it not or what QoS they used. My bet would be they used QoS 1.

Sometimes its easier to buy the second best at everything, (caught Microsoft) and benefit from everything supposedly working together, and a clear cohesive overall roadmap, than trying to stitch 200 individual products together, make them all pass data to each other naively, and hope that their feature changes and roadmaps stay aligned.
Why is this not available? It's ridiculous that we can't do this conveniently. All I read about is new tests and detections, etc and they are only available when it's too late. Things like pancreatic cancer and liver cancer are death sentences and on the rise. Why can't we test for this sooner rather than later?
I am not the IRS - but I also have not agreed to waive compensation for my data when it is collected by first parties or when it is resold to third parties. Specifically, I have individual rights that have never been knowingly waived to these behemoth data vacuums and yet they continue to violate my right to privacy and track me.

In fact, I refuse to negotiate with FB over my data, I don't participate in that service (or most other social media outlets). If they offered a reasonably priced way to keep up with family on FB without harvesting and tracking everything I do then I would be interested and potentially subscribe to such a service.

Definitely, they've all become paranoid about updates or installing anything which is not absolutely necessary. They are a version or two of macOS behind, and never update without confirming with the technician.

All the defense companies keep merging. If you look back 30 years ago at the number and variety of airplanes the US military flew, you'd have a dozen or so companies, many now top of mind defunct or merged--Grumman, McDonnell Douglas, Fairchild. My dad used to work for Texas Instruments' defense wing, which merged into Raytheon, developed JSOW missiles.

I'm by no means an expert in this, but I think its largely attributed to the contracts going to the lowest bidder, a struggle to compete for them, and move R&D forward simultaneously.

> Of course, this will only work if you buy many tickets; buying one or two, you're unlikely to win anything at all.

That's the important part here. You can always win the lottery if you can buy enough tickets. To match all (n) numbers, you need to buy one ticket for every possible combination. To match (n-1), you need to buy a lot less.

But in a normal game, the cost of doing so is more than the payout. So if I have a dollar-game "guess a number between one and ten", and you can win $6 - it's not worth buying ten tickets, even if it guarantees you a win. But if I say "one day only, double the winnings!" - now $10 guarantees you $12 back.

The odds don't change, just the profitability of them.
... when "stupid thing X" is making an argument that doesn't address the problem, and "you can do stupid thing X" is actually an explanation of what the problem with that argument is, and it's also not calling anyone names, but just calling out fallacious reasoning as what it is: Fallacious reasoning? Fallacious reasoning might well be correlated with stupidity, but that doesn't make pointing out fallacious reasoning an insult in itself.

Equally, if the topic of the discussion is what makes a certain decision wise or not, as it happened to be the case here, I don't see how pointing out that a suggested methodology does not qualify due to fallacious reasoning in that methodology is either rude or a flame. That is, unless you consider the start of that discussion (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20129547) a rude flame, which you possibly could, even though I don't think it was intended as such.
This happens even on Chrome. If you're logged into a Google account, it seems to know that you're not a bot since your Google Account is tightly integrated within Chrome. If you try the same captcha on an Incognito page on Chrome, you will have the same experience as on Firefox. Atleast, that's the case for me.
Startup teams learning faster than ever: how to join the race
No, this is the wrong argument. What would happen is, eventually people just wouldn't believe any of these tests and they would become useless, even when they did reach a high level of PPV. Also see the point about biopsies - definitely not non-invasive, often require surgery. Also cost - you're now looking at 5-10k extra charges.
The health and performance indicators of your servers are reliable and (relatively) accurate. Analogous indicators for the human body are much less so. False positive and false negative rates for many different kinds of tests/exams are uncomfortably high. In cases where patients have other signs/symptoms suggesting an underlying issue, it does make sense to use these tests and exams, but in otherwise healthy patients, you may do more harm than good.

Public housing generally does not come with a nice enough environment that teachers and plumbers will agree to live there. Maybe there’s some way to build public housing which doesn’t come with drugs and petty crime, but if there is I don’t think American cities know how to do it. The conventional wisdom is that the right way to do affordable housing is distributing it evenly among all the new complexes in the city.
The FAA provides time to fix issues if its deemed to not be a critical issue - because if every problem results in grounding planes then people just won't report issues. The added stress of millions in losses could also result in subpar fixes that cause more problems.

In this case I agree with the FAA's initial decision for this indicator. Its extremely unlikely having it working would have prevented the two crashes. The mere fact that it might have helped doesn't make the original decision incorrect.
As far as I can tell it's 100% repeatable, every now and then one works the first time on Firefox, but it almost never does. If I use it in Chrome on the same sites, it works. Then I go back to Firefox, and sure enough it doesn't work again. Maybe there's something else making it work for you? I don't know what other factor there could be; some privacy settings in Firefox maybe?
I get the feeling we will see some news stories about folks using this app and getting into an out of control argument with some old timers that drive the roads each day.

There's a third problem: quite a bit of the stuff they present is (almost) uniquely American and presents a recognition challenge in other cultural contexts. That yellow vehicle?

What happens if you travel to another time zone, say 6 hours different to your home? Would you continue to fall asleep at the same time, or would you adjust?

I wonder what exactly they will test for.

Seems like one of those cases where someone picks what traits they want and discover that those aren't actually the best traits for the job.

For a military (and any to some extent) historically so reliant on throwing mass numbers of humans at a problem, I am not sure "thinkers" is what they will ultimately want, perhaps the opposite.
"if a 0.0.0.0 packet falls in a forest, will it make a sound a 0.0.0.0 listener can hear?"

your link was to an informative but still sloppily written article and in this context, your summary of the article isn't clarifying.

to write clearly, people gotta stop throwing around the word localhost because at the level of n.n.n.n there are no names, only numerical addresses and localhost is a name, one defined in a text file: 127.0.0.1 points to, not localhost, but to the local host, always; localhost (the name) points to 127.0.0.1 iff it is defined to (which should be all the time).

what I learned from the article is that a local host server listening on 0.0.0.0 will listen to everthing it can hear. But the question context here is, where will a packet sent to 0.0.0.0 go?

The point that 0.0.0.0 is not routable does not answer the question because 127.0.0.1 is also not routable; however, 127.0.0.1 will arrive someplace, at the local host. The question is whether 0.0.0.0 will also arrive into "the pool o' packets", that place that packets arrive on the local host prior to their disposition being determined (a. routed out of the local tcp/ip pool o' packets, b. listened to within the local tcp/ip pool o' packets, or c. dropped on the floor) because routing isn't only what Routers do, it's what tcp/ip does within a local host. (and btw, the article also describes that 0.0.0.0 means the default routing of last resort address in the context of a route address, also not the same as a packet destination address)

One thing I've had to remind myself of - coming from a CS/Engineering background similar to most folks on HN (I'm guessing) - is that there are 2 types of people: Those who program and those who don't.

To me, Salesforce looks like a big shared Excel file with a bunch of sheets. Tableau... well I can do the same thing with some scripts or spin up a web server.

To others, this tech is just magical. Pay the money, do the integration and it just works... And clearly people will pay a lot of money for things that "just work".

Right is not always synonymous with legal. This is one of the great debates of the politic of our day. Since we are demonizing those of who are a pro-conservative slant for just believing in the Constitution, the liberal-bubble just pops when it comes to challenges in our legal system. Morality is one of those things that doesn't always translate to greater things than self-interest.

Long live the Republic, and God Bless everyone.
Imagine how useless an airline website would be if it were non interactive reports of all the data for the day loaded onto one page. Good dashboards are interactive, not passive reports.

>This change in approach could be equated to going to individual airline websites to check routes, dates, times and fares of flights as opposed to just going to a website like Orbitz or Travelocity – punching in where I want to go and when, and it pulls in a report of all the flights that meet my criteria. I can then narrow those results down by a number of criteria – time of day, number of stops, price, etc. It’s self-service reporting in the truest form.

Just sitting on our hands on this information and letting people die is the worst decision. We need to improve our technology to get better results, not throw our hands up in the air and say the problem is too hard.
For EMS, sure. For law enforcement officers, their only duty is to "the public at large". They are not liable if they let an individual die. (Regular civilians have this right, too, in most jurisdictions)

The bot presumably is running in something like chrome headless or selenium (if you're processing JS), so it would have access to the image the moment the response is received.

Packer is for building base images. You obviously need some provisioning there as well, but the focus is definitely on shipping iso images. Vagrant fits what you're after, but it'd wager you wouldn't be happy with it either.

It's essentially a Ruby dsl with the same goal as docker, though vagrant is way older (and still works just fine if you actually need such automated provisioning).

Testkitchen uses it if you're into infrastructure automation and want to see what sysadmins had pre docker.
