Indeed, there is a lot of open space. When you look at why Austin has the appeal for high tech industry, I think it largely was/is based on University of Texas and their strong record in computer engineering. This caused companies like IBM, Motorola, Samsung, etc. to locate there.

It takes decades to build out another such city from scratch. I'm not arguing that it shouldn't be done, just that it doesn't happen quickly.
The context of the trip is more important than the chemical. "Set and setting". I'm copying Dr. Leary's quote from the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_and_setting

> > Of course, the drug dose does not produce the transcendent experience. It merely acts as a chemical key — it opens the mind, frees the nervous system of its ordinary patterns and structures. The nature of the experience depends almost entirely on set and setting. Set denotes the preparation of the individual, including his personality structure and his mood at the time. Setting is physical — the weather, the room's atmosphere; social — feelings of persons present towards one another; and cultural — prevailing views as to what is real. It is for this reason that manuals or guide-books are necessary. Their purpose is to enable a person to understand the new realities of the expanded consciousness, to serve as road maps for new interior territories which modern science has made accessible.

— Timothy Leary, The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead

You can have a transcendent experience without any drugs at all. Your brain can perform all the chemical manipulations required in a much safer manner than e.g. flooding your system with synthetic LSD.

If you have a therapeutic system that works in the first place then drugs would be a sideshow at best. Adding LSD to ineffective scattershot therapies will just amplify random aspects of the subject's psychology.

The sickness is suspected to be caused by blackmarket THC vape cartridges which have been cut with Vitamin E Acetate.

There is a huge problem with black market / counterfeit THC vape products.

I agree with you re: the bottom point about EMT's salaries. It's the same with teachers; they're one of the most essential parts of society, and they're paid so little.

An example: in Georgia, just picking a random county, teachers make around 20,000~60,000$ a year, leaning more toward the lower end. It seems that importance to society and salary are negatively correlated...

I just want to be able to find books with keywords. I often forget the title of books, but I can rattle off a summary.

Google books has gotten worse also - to the point of useless unless you have a quote or are looking for common titles.
I face this problem with Netflix, Spotify and Youtube too. These algorithmic recommendations just need one improper dataset to throw everything out of the window. For weeks, my spotify is overloaded with instrumental songs. Youtube keeps on repeating the same stuff. Netflix believes that the only thing I watch is science fiction.

I'm dying for human curation.
My journey was C -> C++ -> Java -> C# -> Python, and I have to say that Python is probably my favorite language. Mostly because of how much more effortless and efficient development feels.

Yes, there are even more efficient languages out there, that can do much more with less lines of code, but I feel that Python is just verbose and...well, pseudocode-ish that pretty much anyone with a certain level of coding can read it, and get working.

I've noticed that schools have started using Python more and more for entry-level programming classes, so I guess that means more time spent on problem solving, and less time fighting the language.

When I was student, the majority of CS classes I took were in plain C. I remember Data Structures and Algorithms being quite a hurdle, simply because much of the time went to tacking C.
Strive to get things wrong as soon as possible
If there were an easy, alternative secure solution then developers would already be using it.

Implementing common anti-XSRF mechanisms like a session token in a form field or extra http header requires modifying every place your app communicates with the server. It’s anything but easy which is why so many apps/websites not built with XSRF in mind still have vulnerabilities.

This reads like it was written by a Chinese government official trying to sway HK protesters. WeChat asks for so much personal info in order to onboard, and your messages are definitely monitored and censored by the government - funny how they left out that tiny detail. It is the exact opposite of privacy and secure messaging.

A lot of hockey players here in Canada use snus and even after learning how to do it properly it still makes me want to vomit. Plus the idea of a 'spit bottle' is even more anti-social than massive vape clouds (which are entirely unnecessary and becoming taboo).

Interesting, just out of curiosity - does the website still work well? I just signed up with a dummy account and the images for the books are not showing up. I belive this might have something to do with AWS. (It might also be my browser settings)
You also have to account for payola.
Taxes. State income tax. This can be as high as 9.0% (CA or NY). That is insane. If you make 100k, the state could take 9k a year. In some states that will cover your entire mortgage on a house. I love CA or NY, but FL, TX, NV, etc have NO state income tax. ID is awesome, but 7% taxes is no go.

Thanks for making this! I tried a bunch of searches and the recommendations are surprisingly good.

A couple of points. All my searches selected an (in my opinion) less prominent result as the top hit and I had to click the "see other results". The searches I remember doing were "Blood Meridian" (should show Cormac McCarthy as top hit and "Waiting for the Barbarians" (J. M. Coetzee).

Secondly, I'm not sure if it's sensible to show books by the same author, at least nowhere near the top.

Lastly, while I like the UI and the idea of a handwriting-type font, I find the current font a bit illegible. It's readable, but doesn't skim well.

Will definitely be using this in the future!
Forgive my ignorance but from what I read making SameSite=Lax the default is a chrome only thing at this time right? If so,how is CSRF dead? Are all major browsers following suit?
AWS has great APIs and SDKs and most of the time I use AWS services through the command line and not so much though the web interface.

This is good news I think. Devs often just don’t know or pay attention to stuff like XSRF in my experience as a professional developer.

It’s not something you notice until your site gets hacked. Or if you do notice it, it’s in a security audit at the end of development and the ticket to fix it might get buried in a backlog below the features and bugs users actually see and want.

Having the protection on by default is the only way to solve this for good, it’s how cookies always should have been.

Turning cookies to same site by default will definitely break a lot of things though. I implemented SameSite cookie functionality in a library at work and we had several issues with it breaking stuff and confusing people when they updated to the new secure version of the library.

Indeed. qmail describes this quite well and is portable for unix. The qmail-queue process does local deliveries, tcpserver runs against port 25 and invokes qmail-smtpd. Spending time to design software into small components pays for itself in the long run. I think qmail's downfall was that it is so stable people dind't have many issues to fix once the patches were written. It is starting to reform in 'notqmail', which I'm hoping will spar with postfix.
Barnes and Noble launched Browsery a little while back, that helped me find a litany of new recommendations. I now use that service in tandem with Goodreads, but GR is just my tracking list at this point since it integrates with my Kindle and migrating to something else would be a pain.
I was mocked at at Black Hat when I asked a question several years ago why people don't consider forward proxying all third party dependencies for the user. Then we could disable CSR entirely. They said that doing that would fundamentally break the web. I think that it would make it so your user could never be MITM or DNS-spoofed to a malicious imposter for that dependent service or asset.

Can someone speak to those criticisms?

https://www.librarything.com/ is always better for finding books that I know part of the title (or sometimes even just the full title).

I would like to be able to weight opinions (both positively and negatively) of individuals, and also based on criteria (e.g. "completely ignore the opinions of anyone who gave a low rating to The Good Soldier Svejk" and also "weight by 100 the opinions of anyone that rates The Silver Chair as the best of the Narnia stories".
And why do we value this guy’s opinions exactly?
That doesn’t mean all reads have to be immediate, only some.
Lol. Not a whole lot of complaints in the country with family labor camps. Yeah, totally organic I'm sure.
you are right, this is a much larger discussion. so i just want to mention this. what is missing in the research is other purported benefits from bed-sharing, such as the mental development of the baby as suggested by the attachment theory.

it is not clear from the mentioned study if research on other benefits of bed-sharing doesn't exist, or whether such studies were excluded because they didn't fit the focus of the review.

It can be incredibly annoying when doing something like updating a cloudformation stack. I might open RDS in another tab to grab a snapshot ID or EC2 to check a sec group, and when I switch back to my half updated CF parameters the damn page forces a reload and loses the setting I've entered.

I guess it's a social network, but since this is hacker news — I'd love if your front page would not be just a login screen.

The front page should say something about specific books, something that draws you in! Something from the site itself. And put that book recommendations button higher up (it's not visible on first view for me). :-)

Something that makes you begin browsing and using the site to get recommendations. Then in standard style, somewhere down the line you'll hit a snag where you have to register to use certain features, like commenting, liking, etc.
Well, no. Even if I read the damn thing, there are tens of tools I use day to day. I'm not going to remember any of it. It doesn't matter how much of an expert the author was if it's not structured in a useful way. And I've read enough fucking man pages. I've retained zero except for maybe what I ended up using. If I used it more than once. Maybe. Man pages don't tell you shit. They tell you everything and you still need to parse, interpret and analyze it because it's so ridiculously dense and there's never any guidance on actual real-world usage. Theoretically they're useful, realistically, they completely ignore everything about how human beings function. They're not written for people.

Hell, I often find that while the author has managed to cram everything and the kitchen sink into it, there's so much missing from it regarding how a tool works, caveats, whatever. All these things that are crucial to actually understanding the tools you're using beyond what some flag or other does on a surface level.
California is unique in having prop 13 and other misfeatures that guarantees next to zero housing gets built when population increases.

>why do people dislike Windows Store?

>It is much like mobile stores

I do believe you've answered your own question, haha.

The main reason (in my head) is I do not want to contribute to this non-local, always-connected, environment that's constantly etching away at users' privacy.

As for the mobile store aspect, I don't think the typical power user really enjoys the mobile store. I'm always having to disable auto-updates because developers will make changes that I do not want, push malicious updates, or an update simply breaks the application for me.

Additionally, Microsoft has a habit of building and abandoning these types of programs.

Oh, and the last thing-- I'm not even sure if I can use the store anymore after running those telemetry killers for Win10.

As I type, I realize I could probably write a paper on why I dislike the app store. In fact, I might. I understand the store probably helps your app get seen, but an app targeting powerusers seems best suited elsewhere. However now that there is a free version, you're in the only market you have left - people who don
t know there's a free version or cant figure out how to find/use/install it and are willing to pay.
The Undermind Episode 31 – A Podcast about Brood War AI
A highly government censored chat with riot group size limits? Yeah, who would have think.
About 7 or so years ago I visited Boise for the first time when I was coming back from a backpacking trip. I instantly fell in love with the city, and if proximity to family wasn’t a priority for me (I’m on the east coast), I’d have started looking for jobs there the next week. (I may have done a cursory search anyway, but not with any real seriousness.) It surprises me zero percent that it’s been growing like crazy, and I think it absolutely merits being included here.

Denver, on the other hand, has already “arrived” in my mind, as anyone I know who had any inkling of outdoor adventureness in them ended up there 10 years ago, the traffic is/has been a mess for years, and the ski slopes are way too crowded.
Honestly, depending on the establishment you work in, your sense of taste and smell don’t matter much as a line cook or a regular prep employee. You are outputting dozens of the same dish repeatedly in the same order with the same ratio of ingredients. More of an assembly line with a series of predetermined steps than a creative expression through food. A batch of soup may be tasted once at the beginning of the shift when it is prepared but it usually isn’t being checked on the fly.
I think if you extend Nassim Talebs ideas of anti-fragile to human societies, the sensible future would be a more loose Federation of (city?) states. Very powerful central governments are undesirable from many, many perspectives. Getting more competing ideas on how to organize society introduces the same free market principles that have been successful for our economies into social structure. We'd have states that are winners and losers, and the losers would pretty quickly copy the winning strategies. You'd also have much less risk of your own government turning into a tyrannical oppressor - the splash radius of such an event would be much smaller.

This is literally the first program I came up with, no attempt to optimize it at all.

I’ve been working at a company where I have had to fight with the infrastructure team because they see no reason why I would need programmatic cress to do anything on the cli or with the sdk. The reason why. They don’t use it so why would I?
This makes me believe these lists were 'curated'.
This is the case in many, if not most, major (and some not so major) European cities. I've lived in Berlin & Vienna for the past ~decade and a half & it's certainly true here (worse cycling infrastructure than Amsterdam tho).

I'll bet this is also the case for cities in developed east Asian countries like Japan, Taiwan & South Korea as well.
They are beyond a certain line; some very-very far past it, some just crossed it. It makes them unsupportable by any corporation that aims to look decent.
News flash, absolutely no one care about chrome breaking the web because Google owns the web. Literally, they're the biggest ad agency, biggest captcha provider (v3 will be on every page if they get their way), biggest browser.

Google can and will do whatever they want and there is no amount of complaining that will actually change their mind. Just lookup how they hamfisted their autoplay into the ecosystem despite breaking every website. YouTube is whitelisted to not need to follow their autoplay guidelines though :)
I think he means CSRF prevention hacks are dead, because, despite being the norm, adding a CSRF token in each POST request is indeed an ugly hack.
ITP 2.1 also already says it will block cookies of this type if it matches Safari's completely non-transparent ML model for "tracking cookies". Also Chrome pushed back the release date of this new default from end of August 2019 to February 2020 and the bug has been "fixed in a non-yet released version" of Safari since early June (safari is really slow to release security patches).
Ask HN: Why don't charities have web dashboards?
I have a few monthly donations to nonprofits and I got a new credit card. Not a single charity has a web sign-in where I can update my information; they all want me to email them my sensitive info which is not only inconvenient, but insecure.

Does anyone happen to know why this is such a consistent pattern? Is there some kind of legal reason? Is it just some kind of cultural luddism? Is it possible there's an opportunity to build a solution here?
I’ve never had the experience myself, but I would assume he means you would have to build in some type of retry logic in your script.

Just from a cursory glance, I couldn’t find any samples of how to do a multipart upload with retries in Python with Boto3.

This is an example of how to do multipart uploads though.

https://medium.com/@niyazi_erd/aws-s3-multipart-upload-with-...

Fun Trivia note: when you do a multipart upload, the S3 hash of the object is not the same as it is when you do a single part upload. I had a file with the same contents but a different hash when I used Python than when it was transferred with the CLI or CloudBerry. The quick and dirty way to fix the hash is to copy the file to itself with Boto3.
But any XSS would give access to your authentication token, this is why you should never store it in local storage. Cookies have the httponly flag that prevents javascript from accessing the cookie in case of XSS.
