Speech has consequences. It must have limits.

(As for "free-speech activists" and so-called pacifists who complain about actions against you-know-who more than violence by them - I don't see the value of their words.)

But better norms are developing, even if it should have happened faster. And not just in technology, but in education and writing and many other spaces.
I taught a similar course at Pilchuck in 2015, which was the first 3D-printing/digital fabrication course taught there, and was also up there taking a flameworking course when Amos was TA'ing for Yoav and Angela.

First off, Pilchuck is amazing, and if you're at all interested in glass, you should seriously consider taking a course there.

Second, modulo a few tricks for clean burnouts, if you can print it, you can investment-cast it in whatever material you want. It's amazing how powerful cheap printers become when you combine them with a little casting skill - you can access nearly arbitrary geometry in some useful, high-performance materials without a $100k printer.
Ask HN: What are the efficient ways to track user quota of API calls
I've a service deployed on AWS lambdas connected with API Gateway. While AWS provides the ability to periodic usage quota, I'm looking for user quota (credits) with no expiry.

If you read the article, it implies that Walmart is also due for scrutiny.
I have to agree. I learned the hard way that HR is not there to deal with grievances fairly. Their job isn't to shield employees from bad behaviour or absurd demands from management. Their job is to help and protect management.

Unions are the ppl there to protect employees from abuse, not HR.

That sort of intolerant social pressure also led to a famously high suicide rate and a culture of workaholism that led to a word for “death by working too much”

Antisocial behaviours included women going to work and homosexuality in the past btw
I'm sure your former friends feel the exact same way about you.
Downgrading someone's performance review because they're pregnant, though, is just classically illegal.

Use the post office. Use paper ballots in the mail. Many security issues vanish if polling places are no longer rich targets. In my state of residence, my ballot is sent in the mail, and I get SMS notifications when it is sent to me and when it is counted.
Both are important, but WRT elections, faith in security is as important as actual physical security. I don't see how a black box of tech can convince a layperson that voting is secure. We need more in the way of audit trails and accountability.
Academia: An Outsider’s Perspective
The only reason a squatter ever registers expiring domain names is to capitalize on someone else's mistake and to see if they can extort some cash out of someone or take over a domain with existing backlinks for black hat SEO reasons. I don't think "stole" is really all that strong of a statement albeit technically incorrect.

If someone buys up an expiring domain name because they want to actually use it and not just try and immediately sell it back to the previous owner no one has an issue with that.
It seems this is the only example ever presented. Is gender really that big of an issue? The individual is free to discuss with their company about their needs and wants.

HR can handle this easily by following the law and drafting appropriate policies. It does not need a big battle with an "ally" at all. That's what leaving politics out of the workplace means. An individual's issues should be left to the individual.

Once you’ve been to a few onsites of companies who don’t know what they’re looking for, or worked for a company that didn’t know what it was looking for, you’ll appreciate the simplicity and brevity of basic automated screens.

I think it's possible to work inside a giant war machine that causes all sorts of suffering, while on the inside, it's all brightly lit, comfy, people are polite and even compassionate to each other, both at and outside of work. We can be very reflected and open to criticism even, though only within a specific framework of abstractions and euphemisms, which aren't inherent to the people working there, but rather inherent to the the culture, or the profession, etc.

Maybe like the cells in the body of a criminal and those in the body of the saint aren't really different, per se, and it's more about the state between them. I don't know how to put this well, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is a word for how something can behave very differently if you rearrange its parts, or excite them in a different order, etc.

Plus, all of the published rates are extremely highly correlated. It can be hard to agree on what number is "right", but when one rate is relatively low, so are all the other rates.
To be precise, it's a second layer of debouncing; no doubt the KBC already has its own debouncing, but apparently sometimes not enough.
And as a result, all of the undesirables tend to cluster there. You also see something similar with the tenderloin & soma in SF, the official / unofficial homeless containment zone.

> Actually the German surplus has been brought up for discussion many times in the EU parliament.

Has it? I don't follow that clown show. Looks like Germany has the power within the EU to ignore such issues while bullying other countries into following the rules "we all agreed on". Naturally this topic is a total taboo in Germany. The worst excuse I heard so far was: "Yes, we profit the most and other countries may suffer in economic terms. BUT the EU as a whole brought so much more to these countries!"

> This IDR concluded that a EIP was not necessary

I know that the rule itself is 6% for surplus and 4% for deficit (?!)... So thanks for the link but I won't read it, I don't care why EIP was not necessary for whatever opinion. I just don't take the EU serious.

Insurance companies have reinsurance, though -- they insure themselves against low-probability but high-stakes costs. Any insurance group that would be bankrupted by a single baby is just a clown college that would certainly be wiped out by a multiple myeloma or someone who needed an immune checkpoint inhibitor... or a couple adults who are on the new Hep C treatment ($84000 for three months!).

Linus Torvalds's kernel developer point of view might be very different from the majority of users'. For the end users, they just need to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers and everything just works.

For a long time, Nvidia was the best option for 3D graphics on Linux. ATI/AMD had terrible drivers (fglrx/Catalyst), Intel had abysmal performance.

I’ve spent a good bit of time reading PCI requirements and I can’t think of anything that’d prevent using TOTP or Yubikey type devices. My guess is that they don’t implement it because they don’t think anyone would use it. Honestly I can’t say they’re wrong either—I’d love to use a Yubikey on my bank accounts, but I can’t imagine anyone else in my circle of non-programmer friends/family doing so.

Ask HN: Dealing with Surreal Homeaway Tenant?
In all fun, this will probably end up just being a moderately-priced lesson for me, but I’m curious of other HNers experience / what you would do.

I just got back from a VRBO week at an east coast beach, place was passable but not great — overpaid for a worse experience than previous year, beds were godawful, locked cabinets in the kitchen and rooms locked off, guy was running some sketch iptv setup but I brought an Apple TV so not the end of the world but just puzzling. Worst part by far was that the guy was waiting there and I had to suffer through an hour of him bitching about prior tenants and wondering if I was next. He also had a modified lease he wanted signed — which I did because it was probably unenforceable given we had an existing lease, one that wasn’t signed after basically extorting me with family present. But figured it was a bad sign.

Which of course it was. The guy called today and is claiming that there were 17 individual spots on the carpet that required cleaning (carpets were not very clean when we arrived and we walked lightly, family event, 4 people mostly out of the house except sleeping). “The lease points out $50/spot but let’s just work this out the easy way for $250.” I tussle with the guy for a few minutes but at this point i figure the cheapest way out is to just tell him fine (at which point he goes from a running in the most belligerent asshole award 2019 to my best pal) and hang up.

So now I’m curious what others have run into & would do. This is far and away my worst “homesharing” experience, everything else has been 5 star reviews for tenant and me. Enough to probably be scared away from it in the future because this is such a pain and aggravation for what was (and still was, despite this) supposed to be a nice family vacation. Part of me wants to waste more time trying to fight this with vrbo, and the other says I just escaped a psychopath for $250.
> it is possible for the person to be mistaken about the validity of their method

That's a good point.

> are 23-day machine-verifiable

Here's a followup question. Can a person be part of the machine?

For example, I might rephrase my earlier entry to be:

"X closes their eyes and types random keys, such that they form an algorithm for quickly factoring large primes. They email that algorithm to light.iskira@gmail.com and receive a confirmation that their algorithm is sound. At which point, they become so excited that they run into the street and are hit by a bus and killed."

My worry with that is that if there is some kind of force behind the death note, it might decide to just manipulate me instead of the person writing the algorithm. I don't want an evil genie scenario where I just accidentally write "yes, it works", instead of "no, it doesn't."

By extension, if we have a 23-day machine-verifiable problem, am I allowed to specify that the machine is not glitching or producing errors? In some cases, that might be more likely than finding the correct answer. Shinagami picking the most likely scenario that technically fits the criteria might be an effective way for them to reduce some abuse of the system.

Manhattan at last is turning lanes into bike lanes and returning some places to pedestrians, such as Times Square and some other squares.

Though the examples do show what I consider progress, the tiny amount of changes reinforces your point, like deafening silence.
A couple of years ago, I renewed the three domains I care most about (a three-letter one, my name, and a domain I've had since they were free from hostmaster) for as long as their respective gTLD registries would permit. I figure that plus a script I have that checks them for shenanigans[0] should keep them in good order.

0 - Checks every 30 minutes for changed nameservers, domain contacts, and if the renewal date is less than six months in the future. Texts me immediately if it there's a difference or once a week if no changes noted (so I know the script ran).
Because I'm certain a sizeable proportion of the US population would agree that it is intolerant.

It doesn't matter.

Religious freedom doesn't come before the civil rights of gay people. Gay marriage is the law of the land in the US; if your business can't service the needs of its citizens because of your religious beliefs, perhaps you shouldn't be in a position to be serving the public. It's really that simple.
This is, by far, one of the stupidest things I've ever read on this site.
As a Canadian, I'm very disappointed about the graph showing that Canada has the 3rd fastest mobile data rates in the world.

It's fast because prices are 50-100x as pricey as other OECD country. ~$10/gb in Canada vs. $25 for a 100gb plan in France.

Of course it's fast when utilizing it has heavy costs.

So much wasted capacity...
If having two different exchange rates -- "offshore" and "onshore" -- doesn't say currency manipulator, I don't know what does.
You can think of all your executables and shared libraries on disk as a kind of read-only swap.

If the system is low on memory, a page of program code may be dropped from RAM and re-fetched from disk when it is needed again, i.e. when that section of the code is being executed again.

(this effect is not limited to program code, though)
> You're severely underestimating the cost of wire-wrap sockets. The sockets will cost more than most of the parts in them!

Which is why getting them from China is a good idea. I'm building the real thing and I'm well aware of that, but I've found a very economical solution: I've found that buying single-row 40-pin sockets, like this one (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32959627004.html), is a good low-cost alternative to wirewrap sockets, it only cost you one dollar each.

It's not extremely easy to use, as you have to cut them and manually plug two rows of them to make a poor-man's DIP header, but not difficult either, and doing it is straightforward. Also, if the socket is too rough for the components you need (for example a heavy ZIP socket, or a DIP-40/64 chip), I found you could install the wirewrap DIP header to the board first, then plug a generic, cheap DIP socket on top of it, then plug your ZIF socket on top of those.

The only real disadvantage is the increased weight and height, so the solution is not very elegant, but hey, one 40-pin header only costs you one dollar, 10 dollars buy you ten 40-pin headers, which is good for ~15 chips!
I believe the newest, 'more resilient' one. Don't know how to check for sure though. I have a 2018 model.

Well, for me our current behavior towards animal is moral. Moral is subjective after all. Just like slavery it ultimately decided by who can force the other (physically or persuasively) to follow their morality.

I don't think that's a fair comparison: Do you normally run OSX with the swap files completely disabled, or Windows with the pagefile completely disabled? That's what this bug is describing. I'd bet things get pretty nasty on OSX and Windows too, if you tried that.

Perhaps the real bug is that Linux distros make it easy to run swapless.
> obviously America will be able to make these products

American entrepreneurship doesn't mean all the manufacturing would take place in America. Entrepreneurial people are already moving to build more manufacturing in other countries where labor is less expensive and more plentiful than America. I don't think anyone was arguing that America would manufacture everything they currently import from China.

The map is not the territory. You could also say "all of Earth is just terrain", would that make every place on Earth actually the same?

We are all unique. There are no degrees to that, there's just a lack of resolution, and abstraction and simplification.
I think I would have told him that I would talk to him through VRBO, and not otherwise. But I wasn't in the situation, so I don't know for sure what I would have done.
It should have been clarified, because it is not obvious:

The kernel can evict memory-mappings of executable files which are currently running. When they jump to a part of the executable that is no longer in memory, it can page that part back in from the executable file on disk.

This is pretty cool. But when memory is very low, the kernel will evict practically all user-space executable mappings from memory, and will be reading back in and evicting back out executable file contents on practically every single context switch. It's just trying so hard to squeeze out some space to make its tasks fit in memory and complete successfully.

I think this was the desired behavior of big-iron batch-processing in the 90s? Not sure why it has persisted so long. I'm a big fan of linux and this is my biggest pet-peeve.

>Internet hate forum

If 8chan is an internet hate forum, so is reddit. Yes, 8chan has little to no moderation. People go on 8chan and talk about whatever, the fact that there is hate speech somewhere in there, and it is allowed to stay there, doesn't mean the entire site is dedicated to hate speech. We don't say "Internet Cat Photo Forum" about reddit just because /r/aww exists.

There will always be places "providing providing a safe space for anonymized, like-minded individuals to congregate, espouse their basest thoughts and feelings." This is firmly a good thing. You can always hang out somewhere else if you don't prefer it. 8chan going down means nothing in the long run. One goes down another survives.
Industry standard, and in fact predates Uber.
I disagree. If the person is Canadian and the domain isn't for a "generic brand," then no, I'd actually say that .ca is more valuable than .com. It makes the name more personal to the individual and, in an industry where a lot of us have our own domains, uniqueness can be more valuable.
Completely agree. MacBooks should just come with one in the first place. What's even crazier is they don't even sell it in their stores... the tech gave me the name of it so I could buy it online.
Honestly wish I'd known about this when I was younger. In my opinion this could be a gateway for younger coders to start working on larger projects.
I live in a mid sized town, and a contentious issue is parking for government employees. The people who have free parking consider it to be a benefit of their jobs.

There was a big hooplah in my neighborhood when a nearby government building converted to being leased from a developer, who immediately started charging for parking. Most of the employees found places to park on the nearby residential streets, annoying the residents due to the added congestion and traffic, including on a street that was already a designated bike thoroughfare.

I certainly support better urban planning, and I get around town by bike whenever possible, but I'm also sympathetic to the short term disruptions that people have adapted to parking arrangements that can change overnight.
I had thought that this was a great opportunity for blockchain, if identity could be solved reliably. That being said, identity is already being solved through IDs, voting stations, home-delivered ballots, etc.

The audit-ability and reproduce-ability would be great features, while cost and latency wouldn't be huge problems for voting.

There were even a few start ups in the space (e.g. Votem), but none seem to have made the jump to doing real elections. Votem did a few smaller voting experiments like a vote for the Rock & Roll hall of fame, but never made its way to state elections.

I hope that DARPA can not only inspire innovation, but also help startups break into the difficult game of government contracting.
Code Doesn't Scale for ETL
Can someone explain why there isn't a rule that if you let a domain lapse then it stops working, but you have a year to renew it again before anybody else can buy it?

Even if you really didn't want it anymore and somebody else did (and didn't want to wait the year), they could always just ask/pay you for it.
I agree, it's not only a spoiler but adds nothing to the main subject under discussion.
Say we're talking about company X, currently valued at $20/share. X buys back half of their outstanding shares, resulting in their valuation going to $40/share.

Six months or a year later, the business cycle turns a bit causing all stocks to go down, the business environment changes to make the business less attractive (buggy whip manufacturers are no longer a growth industry), an outside event (tariff changes?) costs X money, or X's CEO publicly abuses a service worker causing X to be disliked by the market. In whatever case, the valuation of X which was still about $40/share goes down to $30/share. Or $15/share.

The share price of a stock has essentially no attachment to anything in the real world, and can and will fluctuate according to real-world events, whims, or just randomly.
