I wish people's first thoughts when a tragedy happens wasn't to have the government ban something. This ban idea came up because one person driving an SUV killed some pedestrians in a horrific accident. What actually happened there? Would the same accident not have happened if the same person was driving an economy car rather than an SUV? Was it the great size of the SUV that made the accident happen? What was the root cause of the accident? Could something be done to make it safer for pedestrians in the future, whether it's from SUVs or smaller cars, that didn't involve banning one entire class of vehicles?

I meet a lot who are students (eg, nursing). Driving for Uber is their only job, they'll do it as many hours as they can get, approaching FT. But they need the flexibility, they might do it in the short-term when they're between school terms or clinicals, and oftentimes they are free at the points where we need the most drivers on the road.

This looks a lot like rent control to me — optically it’s perfect, help the little guy; but in practice supply is restricted, prices rise, competition decreases, service gets worse. the poorest suffer the most (fewer driving jobs, higher prices).

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Ask HN: How do you monetize a side-project?
Hi guys,

I need an advice on how would you try to monetize a project like those ones that I have here:

- https://todox.app (personal task manager)
- https://www.candlapp.com (book/readings tracker)

Those guys have been around for a while and both of them have some modest popularity (around 100 active users / day each ). But I'm having trouble trying to get some money out of it.

Not that I'm planning to get reach or start a multinational corporation. Just want to organize some small but stable cash income that would be enough to keep the projects running.

I've found that even when you have many devoted users, it's extremely hard to actually convert them into paying customers.

So if you have some wisdom to share, please I need some honest advices.
Awesome and of course! Good luck with everything

Imagine that we made word vectors out of PCA reduced sparse tf-idf or countvectorized vectors. I can tell you exactly what each PCA component explains. I could even do that at the word level because it's not difficult to do inverse transforms with some simple dimensionality reduction techniques

The model interpretability goes out the window because we used techniques for the vectorization that kinda suck. NLP is obsessed with self-supervision unnecessarily when they should be innovating in dimensionality reduction techniques

Meh, I don't agree with this observation. This is true in america too.

> US doesn't value human life

It does. US is the biggest aid provider in the world. You can put a cynical spin on the motivations behind that but even a regular US citizen gives more to chairty than anywhere else in the world.
US is also the biggest pharma innovator in the world.

Since we are throwing out wild theories. here is mine.

Software kinds in europe are jealous of high wages in USA and try to justify their pitiful pay by attributing themselves with some sort of moral superiority. " I might be poor but atleaest I have a good heart"
" It's how Americans define themselves, which, in the end, generally comes down to how the US doesn't value human life, only the potential earnings thereof."

I agree with your observations but this conclusion goes way too far.

> Ah yes - gotta love the HN pedantry - you are of course technically correct, however - a library used by Notepad++ was compromised for a period of time.

No, it wasn't either. The security "issue" was that a shared library loaded by Notepad++ could be replaced with a compromised one. At no point did either Notepad++ or the library authors distribute a compromised version of that library.

Being able to replace shared libraries is not a security issue, it's the number one (or number two, depending on who you ask) reason for having shared libraries in the first place. It's like saying that if I compiled a custom version of glibc and installed it on a computer, the entirety of the GNU ecosystem was compromised.

I have to say that I will be relieved if WeWork fails.

As a startup founder I think their practices are contrary to the interest of small companies looking to rent space.

They officially offer so called flexibility and hipster offices, but this is a disguise to package a lot of small/fragile companies into a big stable system they can sell to big real estate companies.

There is in practice very little value for the small companies, it's a costly gadget that can be useful in some specific cases, but companies like WeWork tend to eat all the available office space and inflate the prices.
Depending on how old you are: Stripe occupies a market segment that was previously _extremely_ difficult to access.

What you call “the first part” is actually the start of the last chapter of all, and which continues with:

“We ask to be near to God, we fight you and destroy you and terrorize you. The Jihad in god's cause is a great duty in our religion. We have news for you, the news is: You will be greatly defeated in Afghanistan and Iraq and that America will fall, politically, militarily, and economically. Your end is very near and your fall will be just as the fall of the towers on the blessed 9/11 day. We will raise from the ruins, God willing. We will leave this imprisonment with our noses raised high in dignity, as the lion emerges from his den. We shall pass over the blades of the sword into the gates of heaven.”

I tried wide variety of VPN solutions, including Wireguard, IKEv2, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP. Eventually I came to conclusion: I don't need VPN at all with all it's packet-level machinery, I just need fast encrypted proxy for browser and IM to forward my TCP connections securely.

And in practical terms, even Wireguard is not fastest substitution for proxy because packet loss on last mile (roughly) causes delays comparable to RTT between client and destination server versus proxy where retransmit on last mile packet loss occurs only between proxy server and client (it's also true for OpenVPN in TCP mode, but it has much more serious downsides caused by packet encapsulation inside stream protocol). Despite that fact Wireguard and other packet-level tunnels have higher theoretical throughput (from server point of view), simple TCP-to-TCP connection forwarding often gains higher practical speeds and more durable if such TCP-forwarding do not depend on state of underlying tunnel. So I decided: forward each TCP connection in separate encrypted connection will be just fine.

There already exist software which allows to wrap SOCKS in TLS or SSH (for example stunnel or haproxy for TLS case and OpenSSH for SSH case), but TLS handshake delay for each connection kills speed benefits for typical browsing scenario. Dynamic port forwarding via SOCKS proxy built-in into OpenSSH client has another drawback: all forwarded connections multiplexed into single one and in real networks with packet loss it makes high speeds unapproachable.

For these reasons I decided to re-implement both stunnel and OpenSSH client for connection forwarding purposes.

Here it is: https://github.com/Snawoot/ptw - TCP-to-TLS wrapper, which keeps pool of established TLS connections in order to cancel TLS handshake delay. May serve as transparent proxy on Linux router (sends haproxy PROXY-protocol v1/v2 in connection prologue) or serve as wrapper for plain SOCKS/HTTP/whatever proxy.

And second one: https://github.com/Snawoot/rsp - Rapid SSH Proxy, faster [1] replacement to `ssh -ND`. It also uses connection pooling, and, unlike default OpenSSH client, maps TCP connections one-to-one to SSH connections. You don't need any setup on server side: working SSH server should be already enough.

And this is how I quit hating. Now I don't need to turn proxy on/off, because it doesn't imposes performance penalty. In SpeedTest I achieve almost full connection speed (mine is 100Mbps) with ptw or rsp (versus 50Mbps with wireguard).

It's probably not realistic for the average Rails consumer to constantly run tests against master. Indeed, that's probably true for every framework, not just Rails. But it's definitely excellent for some sites to test against their framework's master branch. If nothing else, that greatly reduces the likelihood of painful upgrade paths (these often happen because of gratuitous API changes that ignore the needs of current users). You should have a test suite anyway, so modifying your CI to also run against the master of a key upstream may not be as bad as you think.

I believe by "homeland defensive postures" the commenter you are replying to was suggesting that, because our infrastructure (electrical, hydro, fuel) is largely controlled by internet-connected security holes, the repercussions of involving ourself abroad would be to face consequences at home - something we are politically and otherwise unprepared for. In other words, our lack of a 'defensive posture' on infrastructure (i.e., a lack of hardening against cyberattack) leads to our lack of countering actions by China or Russia abroad.

User Testing for VP Applications
That isn't quite how Bitcoin works. Transactions use specific unspent prior transaction outputs (from the "UTxO" set) as inputs; there is no concept of "remaining funds". However, you're mostly right: if the attacker controls the private keys related to the original transaction then they can insert a conflicting transaction and make the original one permanently invalid on that chain. However, an attacker who does not have the private keys to sign a conflicting transaction cannot prevent the transaction from eventually being confirmed unless they control over 50% of the hashpower.

If you're concerned that the person you're receiving funds from might be willing to attempt a double-spend then you should wait for a suitable number of confirmations before considering the funds successfully transferred. However, if they control over 50% of the hash rate then there is no suitable number of confirmations that would make the transfer safe.
I was about to write the same thing.

Maybe I'm just being defensive as an American, but I feel like the reason that we tend to define ourselves by what we do tends to be that we put a lot of emphasis on taking pride in our work.

I would agree that this is probably done too much, since I was being drilled on what I want to do for a living even in grade school, but I don't know that the conclusion of "omg Americans don't value human life" logically follows. The only conclusion that I think can be reasonably drawn is "Americans sure seem to put a lot of value on work".
That’s awesome!

What are you up to now? I hear the job market for people with clearance that you likely have is pretty lucrative.
There is also the third choice - you don't migrate and keep doing your job (developing features) on the legacy code base. Things like certificates will have ad-hoc solutions pushed whether you like it or not, and the language will keep trundling along.

If there wind up being major security issues, there will be little choice but for someone to take up the mantle and fix them. Because companies aren't going to switch, and when you've got a botnet ravaging the internet they can't flip a switch and do a big-bang rewrite, someone will have to push out a patch for them.

This isn't the end of Python 2, it's just the Python team washing their hands of it. Ask PHP or Cobol users how their attempts to kill legacy codebases worked out for them.

This whole endeavor was complete folly from the Python foundation to begin with. A big-bang rewrite because they didn't like the syntax, and they didn't even fix the GIL while they were at it.
