There is no "average HN user." Some people on HN hate ads, and some people on HN write ad software for a living. Some people on HN own a business and sympathize with Amazon over lost profits. Others can't afford nice camera equipment and (maybe) would prefer a society where wealth is more evenly distributed.
People occasionally ring my doorbell. I always pretend to not be at home. Clearly, there's a flaw in your solution.
That comment isn't scoffing at people who write code with memory bugs. That comment is scoffing at people who think writing memory-safe code (in languages which allow programmers to easily write memory-unsafe code) is easy.
Yeah for sure, a few attempts isn't a problem IMO, even only say 6 digits there's too many permutations.

> I have used 1000 different machines (to achieve concurrency easily) and IPs to send 200k requests (that’s 20 percent of total one million probability) in my tests.

I'm just surprised nobody looked at a dashboard and said "huh this account is getting 200k requests", surely that should be raising red flags?
Your comment reminded me of my time as a mortgage broker back in 2006. Borrowers it seemed knew more about the lax loan products but once things went south people screamed they had no idea.
I'm from Mallorca, a little Mediterranean island near Barcelona, and we have a great dry stone walls tradition there.

But why you interested in famous ones instead of the productive ones? :)
In my experience, open offices help out the team's productivity and rapport, at the expense of personal productivity.

I get the desire to have one's own semi-private space to focus on their work and not be bothered. But if you're working in a team, then open plans probably are beneficial and worth the trade off.
>That's my point you CANNOT possibly come up with the right smaller pieces until you have a solution that you have verified works.

That's beside the point. The point is that coding is not the only way to verification, especially at the architectural level.

> I really don't understand why people want software to be different.

It seems to be you who wants to be different. Making prototypes is expensive and time-consuming, so engineers try to look ahead to anticipate problems. Prototyping in software is cheaper, but not so cheap (especially at the architectural level) that thinking ahead isn't beneficial.
Well, not exactly this.
> That is show one news item to this person but not to that person.

I imagine they do this to some extent already. Personalization is nothing new.
Tolerance Stackups and How to Use Monte Carlo Simulations Instead
As you can see in this thread, most people who say they like open offices are not aware of the "team room" alternative that is shown to be highly productive, and/or they like open offices because they spend their time "hanging out" at the office and don't need to concentrate.
If a system will be communicating with other systems, it will need a unique Layer 2 address. This can be leveraged for some entropy (certainly you don't have to credit the full 48 bits, but are you tell saying that not even 1-2 bits of credit cannot be applied?).

If the system is not communicating with other systems... what attack tree are you actually worried about if it is inaccessible?

I would also be curious to know which virtualization environments generate duplicate MAC addresses over (say) dozens of systems?
It’s actually the website owners and Googbook tracking you. The headline may be incomplete but it’s not inaccurate. And “porn site operators track how you use their sites” is pretty mundane.

Pretty much everyone knows that sites can track your usage. It’s surprising that Googbook is also being given all the data on the porn you watch.
At this time, aparantly what you do is “retry later”. Sounds legitimate.
I would write it in Django, perhaps with a front end framework like react, but with just vanilla JS/jquery if I could, PostgreSQL DB. Deploy it on AWS and you’re good to go!

Object-Oriented Programming – The Trillion Dollar Disaster
Ants don't meet at the bar at the end of the day to chill with each other. It isn't necessary. And their society isn't unraveling.

The more connected the human ant hill gets the more we will behave like ants. Disconnected because we don't need to be as connected. Connected because that is the only way to survive. Those that can't handle the change...wont. This is a process of societal metamorphosis whose tracks have already been laid.

In NYC the cost of buying/selling an coop/condo can be more than 10% of the total purchase/sale price. See for reference:

https://www.brickunderground.com/blog/2015/03/closing_costs

So the cost to buy/sell a $1mm apartment could be in the range of $110,000 after broker fees and all taxes are accounted for. An apartment at that price would rent for maybe $4k for month, though that will rise at a faster price over 30 years than a fixed mortgage + common charges. Unless the value rises at a pace much faster than the rate of inflation, you're going to lose money if you don't hold on to the place for a few years. See this fun calculator to find the inflection point:

I have found that the gap in understanding between thinking you understand something and implementing something as a program is often much smaller than the gap between having programmed something and having proven it.
Ask HN: Can Crispr Be Used as Weapon of Mass Destruction?
So...I worry a lot. One of the things I worry about it is that CRISPR could be used a super weapon.

CRISPR (https://www.livescience.com/58790-crispr-explained.html) allows the "cut and paste" editing of the genome by packaging the cut and paste code in a virus that then is introduced to the host. The virus then alters the RNA/DNA after finding a match for the preprogrammed location it is to cut and insert DNA.

I worry that a state or non-state actor may find the genetic signature for an adversarial ethnic group and target that group using a genetic virus using CRISPR. So for example, the mechanism for infection could be a cold virus. The virus would simply cause the common cold in any non-adversarial group. If the virus detects that the host belongs to the adversarial group via some genetic marker it could do all sorts of terrible things to the genetic makeup of the host like cause sterilization, mess with hormone production, alter mechanisms that affect impulse control etc.

What worries me for this is that the weapon could be deployed and it would be impossible to know who deployed the weapon. A scientist could simply infect himself and walk through a busy thorough fair.

For all we know this has already happened.

Are my fears overblown or am I not appropriately understanding the science? Is anyone working on a counter to this?

All of which would require the customer to make one of those lovely support calls and create opportunity for upselling!
I'm not sure that the fact that corporations sometimes fails disproves that they are evil or proves that they will not screw their customer's over. As an analogy: criminals often go to jail but that doesn't disprove that criminals exist or prove that they won't victimize people.

I'm also not sure that I agree that more deceptive companies are failing in favor of more honest ones. It seems to me that many modern business models make use of questionable strategies such as dark patterns, regulatory capture, and vendor lock-in.

Perhaps the greater point is not whether a corporation would take advantage in a specific situation. Rather the larger point could be that, due to their size and distributed nature, global corporations are not accountable in the way that individuals or local businesses are.
Congratulations on stepping away from Medium and controlling your own platform! It's a big step.
Aren't A/B tests super short-term and specific to single advertisers? In the end the money in the system is limited, and if one competitor achieves a high level of revenue via A/B testing, someone else probably loses that amount of money.

I wonder whether Ad-tech has seen a reduction in revenue after Apple introduced Intelligent Tracking Protection, as these users can not be tracked via cookies.

This source claims there was no significant dip for Criteo for example:

I personally am willing to pay up to a 200% premium to take the train versus flying if the length of the overall trip isn't more than 2x the length of an overall air trip (including security, getting to the airport, waiting in lines, waiting for baggage, late takeoffs, getting suck in holding patterns, extra security scans, etc).

A fast train is always a healthier and more pleasant experience than an airplane. Hint: trains have windows.

Disclosure: I'm a private pilot and have lifetime status on two major carriers. I still hate air travel.
At the risk of sounding like a crazy hippy, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that some kind of subsistence-based neighborhoods would be a great option for dealing with this problem.

Not only would it provide some relief from the feeling of being shackled to bullshit jobs for life if you don't want to starve to death, it would also help foster much stronger communities.
The rhetoric I'm responding to discusses them as if they are mutually exclusive. I'm trying to respond that different philosophies can, in fact, be sick ones.
It’s not ideal, but most iOS apps that take images will accept pasted images. You can avoid giving them photos access, and instead copy/paste from the Photos app.
Yeah, as someone who was raised in the church but never considered myself very religious, it's a little sad to see people misunderstand that there are two types of churchgoers: those who are dogmatic and superficially faithful and those who take scripture as a dialogue on how to live a good life.
>Ah like France with its corrupt lawyer cartel then.

I am not following you, in the example I posted there is no "lawyer" (corrupt or belonging to a cartel or not) involved (as normally there are no lawyers involved in "normal" real estate transactions).

What I posted ar only usual fees and taxes.
Your card being charged doesn't really matter. If they wanted to they could totally redirect the package and reverse the charge. Amazon does tons of refunds every day like that, they don't hurt the company's standing with the payment processing companies like chargebacks do.
>the driver - even a human one - is not expected to answer random questions as they are driving.

In the same way, the C++ compiler was not expected to be able to emulate arbitrary programs (i.e. to be Turing complete), but some ingenious people found a way to use it to do just that. The way they did it was by writing some extremely unusual and edge-casey code, but you can't just wave that aside and say "C++ isn't really Turing complete, because the proof that it's Turing complete involves C++ code that nobody would really write!"
I am not sure why I should feel any morality about a company failing to price things properly. They are a professional company after all not a mom-and-pop operation. Caveat Emptor can be a two way street.
Cubicles at pretty good for productivity, if well built and not in a phone-heavy work environment. They combine audio dampening , partial visual blocking with visual airspace, natural light, and easy collaboration.
How can the team be productive if its members are not personally productive? It seems to me about the only person that would be getting a productivity boon out of this is the team leader.
From what I've experienced there are levels to it and apparently you only click with somebody who's into it on the same level.

I guess this is not restricted to religion.

KyoAni drastically changed around 2010, after the success of K-On. They also weren't involved in the last season of Full Metal Panic (2017). What they are now famous for are slice-of-life shows with lots of implied homosexuality, both girl-girl and boy-boy.
For sure it won't works for every kind of service, but we are talking about a free trial over a prepaid service. Once you no longer pay, you no longer have the service. It's not a debt.

For an actual annual membership, that's a whole other matters and I'm pretty sure that service won't support that, though the gym membership example could be a bit deceptive (there is some prepaid gym membership though, so that's not entirely deceptive).

They also allow that:

> If you want, the app will also send an actual legal notice of cancelation to the service.
In many countries including the US, yes. If the right mixture of you, the company, and your friend are located in or deal with Europe or similar places, possibly not, but it very much depends on the details.

It sounds like you are saying you essentially keep your own personal ledger of every charge you make, and then reconcile the total against the statement each month.

When I did this using MS Money or Quicken years ago, it took so much time to reconcile each month that I eventually gave up. And that was with automatically downloading transactions!

The idea that you could do this in a notes app and actually end up with an exactly matching total in app with the statement, where you don’t have to go back and review each transaction to figure out what you missed, is entirely implausible to me. First of all because the sheer number of scheduled recurring charges which may not be a fixed amount, second because the sheer number of quick charges that are run in a day where I am not stopping to open an app and record the total, third because my wife has a card on the same statement and even still sometimes borrows mine, forth of all because things like Amazon charges aren’t always totaled correctly when you first checkout (“estimated taxes”) and even then the total price on the invoice can be split across multiple charges, fifth of all because of various refunds which might occur due to a return made by someone else in the family for a purchase from a previous month, and similarly for orders placed on one day which aren’t shipped and charged until a future statement.

It’s an absolutely huge deal to precisely track your spending so well that the total balance in your personal tracker exactly matches your statement such that you don’t have to look at every charge on the statement and mentally account for it. It’s literally a multi-billion dollar problem and market opportunity.
I come to work to work - it's not for the fun perks - the perk is being paid. That's the one perk that keeps me working. Do I think having "fun" takes away from that work? No. But I don't particularly care - I'm a professional, doing professional work, and if I could get 4 walls and silence, I'd happily light the ice cream machine on fire myself. If you want to collaborate, sure, do that - go to a meeting room, or meet in your own pod, and if you really want that open office charm, go work in the lunch room.
I've got to be honest here, it's infuriating to see the extremely basic moral/social principles from the Bible held up on some kind of pedestal like they're a unique or difficult to come by idea. As an atheist I try to be a good person because it is something I innately want to do, not because it was a revelation I had in Bible study. The Bible did not invent "being nice to other people"
I agree with you, but remember that VISA/Mastercard/etc are selling your purchases to whomever would like to buy them.
Polish society was very heavily wounded by 50 years of hardcore socialism combined with the police state (at the hands of the Soviets). The levels of trust people have towards each other are still abysmally low. I wouldn't use Poland as an example, because it is (like other post-Soviet block states) still very much not normal.
I'm blessed with a temperamental car that forces me to work from home occasionally... Despite 3 cats begging for attention, I get more done before lunchtime than in a usual work week in open/cubicle office.

Yes I like my coworkers, that's why I ask them to join me for lunch. When I work I need silence, which is a precious commodity in an open plan.

If so, then I totally agree: this change does absolutely nothing! But as expected from Google: this sort of thing has been going on for 5-10 years, and nothing has been done. They got my hopes up yet again.

Your use of the term “morality” here seems to ignore that it is moral to honor contracts.

The contract between amazon and the customer is and should be asymmetrical.

One example is, as a customer, I can return most items for a complete refund within a time period. Amazon isn’t expected to come take my stuff back from my house if they aren’t happy.

One reason for that is the buyer and seller in this case have a massive information asymmetry such that commerce might be impossible without the contractual asymmetry.

This is enough to explain the difference in expectations without wandering too far philosophically.

Sure, but it is not the only one. You are allowed to think at other levels, and it can be quite useful, especially on larger systems.

We had gone through 3 rounds of layoffs. Things were sort of bleak those days.

We were called to a company wide conference call. We sat in the conference room gathered around the phone thinking we were being laid off while someone from "HR" explained that they had made an important decision. But they didn't actually say what they were talking about, there was no meeting notes, the invite to the meeting didn't even have a title, so everyone was confused.

They recounted that over the last 9 months HR had put in numerous hours on this important project that had involved everyone in HR putting in extra hours, and it had come to a successful conclusion.

HR had renamed itself from "HR" to "People Services" to better reflect what they do.

That was it.
Wait, you think that, in the context of programming language design, a PyCon keynote is an obscure talk? I don't know what to say about that. It might be possible for you to be more wrong, but it would be very challenging.

Anyway, I'm talking specifically about the use of the identifier "it" in Kotlin, not implicitly or contextually defined identifiers in general, which are indeed a much more widespread concept, embracing Perl's $_ and @_, awk's $0 (and for that matter $1 and $fieldnumber and so on), Dyalog APL's α and ω, Smalltalk's "self", C++'s "this", dynamically-scoped variables in general, and for that matter de Bruijn numbering.
My simplistic view is foreign buyers want to buy because of stability in the us market, and as a way to park their money away from their government.

The simplest reason i can think of is due to tariffs rmb lost value compared to us, making us housing tad bit more expensive. But housing market has dropped a bit to make up for it.

I am not fully convinced.
The article won't load, but I have a hot take anyways: Why the hell are you complaining? If your bosses want to provide a chill spot where you get to hang with your friends while you are underutilized, why not just enjoy it?

Also working as a team is most definitely helped. Issues are surfaced immediately and can be addressed together.

And all of those graphs are just scratching the surface. For example they seem to have good data on age, gender and sexual orientation (likely from signed up users and statistical inference), which allows them to say what percentage of lesbians aged 30-40 living in Minnesota watch solar eclipses or watch the royal wedding.

Nitpicking as I like to see practical awareness posts like yours spread: you should link to the CSP spec (v3) as the official site. https://content-security-policy.com/ is useful to get started but is out of date and Foundeo isn't authoritative.

For a "complete" guide (maybe "comprehensive starter guide"?) I'd at least add a note in the x-frame-options section that it's been superseded by CSP and only needed if you must support IE (or I guess please a tool), and if you have interesting frame requirements (i.e. more than one allowed ancestor but not all) you're going to have to use a hack to support that with the old header.

Another interesting callout is that most of the CSP directives can be specified by a meta tag in the markup. Not only is this handy for quick serverless testing but can become necessary if you end up routing through something (like some CDNs) that has a max overall headers limit... CSP headers can get pretty big if you don't just bail out with a wildcard.

Definitely agree CSP can have its own post. It's complicated and still evolving with new spec versions. I recently learned about chrome's feature-policy header proposal, which to me is like more granular script-src policies, so I wouldn't be surprised if some future CSP version just absorbs it...
Can you see that this is an extremely dogmatic view? If society has seemingly agreed that society needs government, part of society needs to actually administer that government.
