>This type of attack hurts multiple targets as well: the ecommerce site has real frustrated users who can’t purchase the in demand item. The real users who are losing out on inventory to an attacker who is just there to skim off the largest profit possible. And the unwitting users who are part of the botnet have their resources, such as their home broadband connection, used without their consent or knowledge.

Have you run this by an economist? It's pretty basic economics that "scalping" increases consumer welfare, despite your cursory claim to the contrary.

If the IPs are part of a botnet, that's one thing. But the biggest residential IP network is luminati, which does have consent for their IPs.

It seems to be largely the tags that are biased. Long term, I'm sure people want big unbiased databases of images of people, but it will take a lot of time and effort to build them and ensure they aren't biased.
Please don't do political flamewar on HN, regardless of how right you are or feel you are. It's incompatible with intellectual curiosity, which is what this site exists for.

Yes, some political overlap is inevitable. But flamewar is not, and holding that distinction is key to preventing this site from exploding itself.

QE is neutral to the monetary base. The central bank buys government bonds from banks and pays for them using reserves.

You can see a big spike in the money supply, but there is no corresponding increase in inflation.
My mom told me that the most surprising thing to her was about being a parent of a second child, and finding out that she had just as much to learn as with the first one, because everything worked differently.
This isn't a bad thing. It's an action that will cause retooling and any of the associated costs to happen when they otherwise wouldn't.

Let them pick the contract up. Hopefully they charge more, take longer to implement, and are generally worse.
I think it's still good advice. The first thing big corporations do when you join is make you sit through a bunch of mandatory compliance videos that teach you that you're not allowed retaliate against people who report harassment or corruption. Then they make everyone sign an agreement to follow the code of conduct, which everyone does. I can certainly see how anyone who still any faith left in humanity could believe these claims to be true.

I believe that most teens buy juul pods from peers, so network penetration is its own facilitating factor. Furthermore, the price differential between wholesale and word-of-mouth high school black market is likely high enough to drive a pretty brisk trade.
Sure, but it is still non trivial for teenagers to get lighters in California (where my experience comes from).

The lighter is the juul itself. The cigarettes are the juul pods.

A juul lasts longer than a lighter.
Yes I was looking for the study behind moron4hire's comment:

I did a study of eHarmony years ago and came to the conclusion that only 10% of all "matches" were people who had the capability of returning a message.

I can quite believe that dating sites manipulate the numbers to look better themselves, and weirdly it's something that with my old school hat on is "not worth regulating" - but as we move to a world where most (?) people will find a partner online this way, being able to trust those numbers would be paramount.

(oddly perhaps such regulation would kill off the market. One of my wife's now divorced friends showed me her Tinder matches - and boy the pickings are poor for middle aged women. Now if you showed a parade of out of shape morons and then said actually only 2 of them are available, people might just stop the whole market and take up needlepoint)

Set 7 alarms on your phone, one to wake you up each hour.

Go to work the next day and try to do your best work.

Do this two months before the baby comes and you'll already be adjusted to your new mental norm.

I'm only half-kidding. The eradic sleep is tough - babies through toddlers wake up for all sorts of reasons. Depending on the child, it could be years before you sleep consistently through an entire night.

That being said, the first time your baby smiles at you, or when they offer a drink of their juice because they are being thoughtful, when they say "love you" the first time, when they are genuinely excited to see you after a long day.. No other feeling like it.
You move on so it doesn't steal anymore of your future. It's the only thing you can do. Stewing about it just lets it take yet more of your life when the cost has already been too high.

In most cases, no, the people trying to bleed you emotionally with their pity party for you aren't going to do a damn thing to help improve your quality of life. They will only add to your suffering.

Shutting them down as efficiently as possible as just part of protecting yourself from yet more damage in a cold, cruel world full of assholes.

The world abounds with concrete examples of systems that provide healthcare at a cost that would allow us to cover all our citizens at less than we're paying now, over all.

E.g., https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-...

(BTW, when talking about the overall cost, it doesn't make sense not to count the costs of employer-provided plans.)

The real question is how to we transition from the broken, hodgepodge system we have now to one of those proven better, and cheaper systems.

Sirix sounds interesting but is a bit close to home to a (currently dormant) temporal DB project of my own. But the real issue is I usually do significant OSS contribution if I'm on the bench and not working.

.NET Core gRPC
Third-party should not be the qualifier here.

Cloudflare's CDNJS sets, by default, crossorigin=anonymous and subresource integrity. Add a "Referrer-Policy: no-referrer" header, and all the CDN sees is either a) nothing, because the client has the resource cached or b) a request for a certain version of jQuery without knowing where it came from.

If you think this is a good idea because it enables technical enforcement, do you also want to ban static.example.com? Because if you don't, you'll soon have pointstothirdpartyadserver.example.com. If you do, you'll have https://example.com/proxytothirdpartyadserver/ instead...

This is not a problem that can be completely solved on a technical level. Enforce the hell out of GDPR and see the problem shrink.

> My first company got its first investment so I knew I was leaving academia. The world outside academia had white boards, which felt unnatural and the markers always running out of ink. A piece of chalk, you knew exactly how much was left -- a physical bar chart.

I wonder if you could make a whiteboard marker holder that can tell you how much is left in the marker by noting the changes in weight as the ink is used?

BTW, apparently you can get refillable markers. That could help a lot. Keep two of each other color, starting with both full. When one runs out, switch to the other, and sometime before that runs out, refill the first.

At my last office, I asked if I could have a blackboard instead of a whiteboard, but my boss said that chalk dusk is bad for computers and rejected my request.
When I was in college, we found a pile of old blackboards behind a classroom building that was being renovated. Of course we had to rescue a couple of them and put them in the common rooms in our dorm.

Mostly they were filled with random graphitti, but we also often put up mathematical brainteasers and it was interesting to see people's attempts at solutions.

They stayed there til the end of the semester, I was sad to find them gone upon returning next year.
As a newish parent of a 6 month year old, one thing I've found hard is the amount of misinformation/opinion pieces online when trying to research things. The best resources I found are from the NHS [1] for things like breastfeeding/first solid foods, and Emily Oster's two books [2] which provide a fairly unbiased summary of the current state of research both before and after birth.

I found prenatal classes really informative with regards to what to expect while at the hospital, but I found they didn't really prepare me for the first few days back home after the hospital.

I wrote a few notes [3] on things at 1 month. As my wife was the one giving birth, I was told and read that I would essentially be useless during labour, and after the birth I couldn't do much for the baby and my job was to support it indirectly by supporting my wife. In reality the only thing you can't do that your partner can potentially do is breastfeed, and that isn't guaranteed.

I don't get why people don't like IDEs. If you're digging a ditch you're dependent on your shovel (or even better, an excavator). You can do it with your hands, but why would you want to? Just as the shovel magnifies your digging capacity, the IDE magnifies your capacities as a coder.
MtG doesn't have any health downsides other than possibly being a marker for being too sedentary. Vaping has direct health consequences over "not vaping" even without nicotine.

The "safety" of vaping is predicated on being compared to "smoking cigarettes". If a bunch of non-smokers picks up vaping, that calculus evaporates.

Consequently, selling vaping to a non-smoking, teenage market should come under extreme scrutiny.

In addition, everything about the vaping experience is designed to be addicting. I had a friend who believed exactly as you do until he tried one of the flavored, non-nicotine pods. They have a very strong attraction.
Well. How frequently do you update your user record in /etc/passwd? I mean, if you do this a million times per second then maybe your are doig something wrong, no? I update my user record maybe every year when I update my password, but if you do that once per ms then uh oh
Curious why you're adding Elixir in this list ? It operates is in a completely different space than nim / zig, as far as I know (Not statically checked, heavy but powerful runtime, much "higher level" abstractions, etc...)

Not to prevent you from trying it, of course - to each and everyone their own...
Does anyone else have trouble getting upset about these kind of stories? I can believe anti-competitive behavior is happening, but we're talking about snapchat stories and Instagram trends. It's not like they are a phone company raising prices on their customers or a railroad squeezing shippers. I get why this could be bad for a competitive marketplace, but does this hurt the consumer? What are the net downsides of this sort of behavior (not being sarcastic. I really have trouble thinking of any serious ones)

I think responding to a child’s emotional needs from age 0-3 is perhaps the single most underrated thing a parent must do to ensure their kids grow up emotionally well-adjusted and capable of secure attachment.

Sadly I don’t think this is widely known or taught to new parents. I fear we will see a generation of emotionally neglected children of distracted parents.
An expectation for a complete lack of control.

You can plan, prepare, and do what you feel is best, but at the end of the day you have to be flexible and know that you will learn. I wish I could say there was a method or a book or something, but just knowing that some parts would be hard and confusing helped set my expectations. I wasn't surprised I was cleaning poop off the floor of my in-law's because I knew I would experience failure, but I was surprised babies pooped that far.
One thing that gets lost in Juul and vaping supporters is just how bad nicotine addiction is for your personal life. I recently quit nicotine a few months ago and it made a big difference for me.

Nicotine withdrawal kicks in very quick which is why smokers take constant breaks. The anxiety, the grumpiness, irritability and anger you feel as a smoker when you are without nicotine will piss off your partner, make you seem difficult to friends and colleagues and generally just color your world in a dark way.

Juul pods helped me stop smoking for a short period of time but I became an order of magnitude more hooked on nicotine. I work from home and couldn't go more than 15 minutes without sucking on that stupid device.

I quit smoking cold turkey 90 days and it's made a dramatic difference to my mood. I no longer worry about being socially outcast or being judged for blowing vape clouds.
The concept is good but the website is not mobile friendly. I would love find a book but apparently there is no search book functionality. Also it would be nice to view details and comments about book when I click the cover thumbnail, right now it takes me to amazon which somehow feels like promotional.
I'm sorry, I meant a lighter isn't an obstacle to smoking. You can use a household stove lighter, a match, a car cigarette thing.. there are lots of opportunities.
I love nim! Wrote a several-thousand-line side project in it in 2015 and have rewritten it several times over, partially to improve the project itself, but also to keep up with language changes during the various alpha-releases. Did a little evaluation of Rust along the way, but decided my money was going to continue to be on nim. -- Congrats to the team, and thank you so much for making it happen!
This is a perfect example of Tactical Nihilism. You're basically denying the existence of a massive amount of reproducible psychometrics and anthropological research because it makes you uncomfortable, and you're declaring that heuristic analysis of available, salient facts is not worthwhile because "you can't understand very much at all based on how things look."

When an arborist "looks" at a tree, they identify the kind of tree it is, and that connects to all of the research they know about that species of tree. It's reasonable to suppose that a new instance of a known kind of tree is going to have properties in common with all the other known instances.
I very much do not think Nadella is a saint, for one thing he was there when Ballmer did his stuff, if he was a man of principle he'd have left MS long before he made it to the top so I'm going on the assumption that he was A-Ok with those strategies as long as it benefited him.

Uber employees still can't sell their stock for nearly 2 months, and it's on a downward trajectory.

You are right though that my original comment is a bit of a tangent, so I apologize if I wandered a bit too much.

Started reading a couple books (never finished them though), went to every single doctor appointment and asked questions, talked to parents/in-laws. The last 2 were the most helpful. I still attend every doctor appointment and ask questions.

With a good support system it's not too hard. Lots of it is instinctual. Doctors and nurses will brief you on the big no-nos.

My advice: Don't try too hard to be fully prepared. You won't be. Learn how to establish a relationship with your doctor, learn how to communicate with your significant other, learn a healthy way to deal with stress (there will be stress), and learn how to make funny faces and noises.

Congratulations!
When the leftist utopia fails, when dreams cant be written into reality, when human nature proofs resistant and resilient to change, those who tryied to accelerate the revolution, turn around to search for traitors and treason.
Because that would mean humanity is still capable, if only all get purged who hold us back.
If thats the case, the ideology can self-repair, and rise again. Everything else is just defeat- with extra steps.
And to actually look at what humanity is, to be realistic about what can be archieved, that is defeat in our lifetime.

Question (genuine, not trolling): what's the use-case for Nim regarding other languages? What are its pros/cons?
Also:

1. Insufficiently.

2. Sufficiently.

The question is on this aspect.
It was only last week on twitter I read a well known tweeter and company owner saying he didn't see the point of unions in software companies.
It's not just a single instance. Look at the hours billed.
Yes! A schedule was imperative for me to feel like I had some expectations and control. Waking up with absolutely no structure was just a little too overwhelming for me, so having "naptime is ___, lunch is ___" really put me at ease. I didn't read many books on parenting, but one that was immediately helpful was on sleep schedules of children and how they evolve as the kids age. This helped us figure out a schedule that worked for us.

Another thing we did that really helped was artificially limiting inputs regarding advice. In those first weeks, we had a handful of books and dozens of blogs and websites that all had contradictory advice; it was really overwhelming. We decided we would only subscribe to three primary sources of info where possible: Mayo Clinic online, some book we had on sleep schedules, and our pediatrician. Only having three places to consult when we had questions (as opposed to the entire Internet) was an enormous help.
Empiricism is basically the art of inference based on outward appearance in different contexts.

I’d argue we learn everything based on appearance. You have to do more than just observe things superficially and take context into account, but for something to be measurable it has to have some sort of outward appearance, whether that be direct, as in something you can see with your naked eye, or indirect, as in something we need to measure through some other instrument.
This is super cool. I built a small CLI tool with Nim back in 2017, and it was a joy. It ended up being very accessible to the rest of the team for further development (probably more credit due to the folks building Nim than to my design) and I believe it's still in use. It's a good language, and it was a nice break from JavaScript (which I also enjoy, but not so much for CLI tools). If you haven't tried it out yet, I highly recommend it.

As someone who used to get lighters as a teenager just to have one, without using it to smoke (though in my later teens I smoked), I find this fascinating. Are smaller matchbooks also prohibited? Like others have mentioned, I never had trouble starting a fire as a teenage boy, it's like this inborn survival instinct.
Pretty nice looking and well built case, especially given the price.
i was a tobacco user for roughly ten years, equivalent of 2-5 cigarrettes a day max.
The month i picked up a juul that amount effectively 10x'ed. I feel bad for all these kids who are going to leave high school with a stronger nicotine tolerance and dependence than some 40 year chain smokers.
>This variance is also a big reason why there is no "one true way" of raising kids, and why you shouldn't take parenting authorities too seriously.

I have a 7mo old and, naturally, for the first couple months my wife and I drove ourselves bonkers worrying about whether or not we were any given task "the right way". I mean, don't get me wrong, we still check with his pediatrician and do basic online research about certain things, but for the most part you just develop an intuition about your kid and what their needs are.
