There's no need to sync every time a new phishing URL is added - only every time a URL is visited by a client.

The delta can be derived just from the version number of the client's URL database, and should be a total of 1 MB in size for a whole day's worth of updates. So ~1 MB for the 1st URL visited in a day, and considerably less afterwards. Compared to average webpage size, that's nothing.

Really, only thing that changes is instead of sending a URL hash, you send the URL DB version, and the reply is the list of changes since that version.
That's not how down voting is supposed to work on hn. The rules explicitly permit downvoting if you disagree. They do, however prohibit complaining about downvotes.
Are you sure it's not just generational misunderstanding?

A lot of people describe dialogue from early movies in a similar way, just because it's difficult to understand. Especially the early noir stuff. They're speaking perfect English, but it might as well be a foreign language to most English speakers today.
What I meant is these corps really want to increase the workforce and then cut the salaries, but at the same time they want to profit from dumb users who are easy to rip off. But the corps can't get both.

Storing nuclear waste is very tricky. It changes chemically due to the atomic decay, so you have to figure out a container that is stable against scores of different chemicals in many concentrations.

On top of that, it’s emitting heat so the container can’t be too big otherwise it’ll melt.

Then the waste evolves gases, some radioactive, that make the pressure build up.

Then your container is getting bombarded by alpha rays which wedges itself between the grain boundaries and embrittlement the container.

It’s a bloody (and expensive) mess!
> But I really don't see why I would take Brian Eno's ideas on why we need nuclear power...

This was my initial reaction also.

On any story about 'nuclear power' I tend to search for fission and fusion, just to see if the author is sufficiently informed / concise.

I'm starting to dismiss any article that doesn't qualify this basic difference. I'm happy to see money poured into fusion R&D, but not happy to advocate more fission reactors being constructed -- and the appellations pro/anti-nuclear simply doesn't describe that not uncommonly held position.
Add an order of magnitude!

Depends on what you're planning to do with the spreadsheet. If it's display only, it's easy to bundle into a PDF or Word doc. If you need to interact with it, sure, standalone is better. But this the first case is something I deal with all the time. If I'm looking at financial statements for a board meeting, I really don't need a live spreadsheet, and it's massively more convenient to have it bundled in with the agenda, minutes, reports, etc.
Cars are noisy (engines, superfluous horns) and lower air quality. They often drive aggressively and are a hazard to bicyclists and pedestrians. They cause congestion, slowing buses that are vastly more space-efficient.

Look at some of “urban plazas” [1] that have replaced short sections of road and witness how much more peaceful and open the city can feel when roads are removed in favor of people. Or, go down to 14th St. I was there this past week and it was wonderful—so much quieter and more open, and buses were moving smoothly.

Maybe if you are talking about some random investor. But if we're talking about SoftBank, which already owns ~30% of WeWork, probably not.
Yes, I'm not advocating someone to try a homeopathic recipe for cancer. However, there are times when supplements can be beneficial and you can find actual reports in the NCBI and legitimate references and supporting information on Wikipedia.

Multivitamins and probiotics are things that can help supplement nutrients and help with digestion for people that may not be getting enough in their daily meals. Some people choose to be Vegan, and it is nice when you can find options sold by Amazon that don't have a bunch of fillers in their supplements or meat products.

I recently had some issues and found that an organic garlic supplement and apple cider vinegar concentrate helped me feel better. Would I still go to the doctor in case of a medical emergency? Absolutely! However, there are a lot of great herbs and extracts out there that provide benefits to a persons health. As always, do your own research and know the risk.
Authorities lie, seagulls get cancers too, and there are superfund everywhere you find a nuclear industry.

Temporary storage on site is a very bad idea. Leaks, non uniform site security, drums that were designed for a few decades now being called to serve for a century.

Either have long term storage, or drop nuclear. There’s no in between
Try soaking your flour overnight to hydrate the bran, which otherwise can slice up the gluten network. Also, if you're kneading and the surface splits, stop let it sit for five to ten minutes so the gluten can relink before you continue.
Sure but most people aren't you. When they think "Hey, my power isn't reliable." they go buy a diesel generator. Maybe a gas one. Arguably that's not even a bad choice.
But you can’t identify which seller your product came from. That’s the whole problem here.
"Being updated monthly doesn't match the statistic of average 15hr lifecycle, because it would be useless after that length of time."

And maybe it is useless. We don't actually know, but we should at least recognize that there may be a difference between how frequently phishing sites allegedly appear and how frequently they appear in Tencent's malware URL database.

"This is still horrible, because your safety is determined by how frequently you can sync with the DB."

And being identified by the Chinese government as someone who surfs to forbidden websites might be even more horrible, for some.
I was in 9th grade when I first came across 2advanced, a time in my life when I was was figuring out what my interests were. Torn between continuing to learn programming and changing course to something that seemed more “creative”, suddenly here was this thing that clearly blended both in a way I hadn’t known was possible. I consider 2a to have been a big influence on me, and to this day I remember the music, sounds, and animations from their v2 and v3 sites crystal-clear.

This is actually a great idea. I know there has to be a better way than lining up people and having usually a single receipt checker looking through people's carts and drawing a line down their receipt.
I'd be pretty interested in reading about this work. Do you have a blog post or any code you can share around this case study?
I've been "laid off" pretty much every six months for the past several years. Over and over my team has been out sourced for a cheaper alternative. Or the project was not properly scoped and would be above budget.

This happened last week. Me and my team delivered a high frequency trading platform. Ahead of schedule, and better performance than requested. But still, we were too costly so we were all let go. Then it was shipped over seas.

I'm really questioning what I want to do now. I love coding, but constantly being outsourced is getting very tired.
I think home-ground whole-wheat flour has to have more gluten than pretty much any other flour out there...

Are you putting a whole bunch of other stuff in there? There's a reason fat is called "shortening" -- it breaks the gluten strands, and makes the bread crumbly. Unless you're putting a whole bunch of butter or some other fat into the flour, I can't imagine why it would be crumbly.

What are your ingredients?
Although the idea is promising, 250 a month is too high. At 100k, your bring home is roughly 70(varies greatly by state). And then you'd pay almost 5% of that to a union to help insure your job. My mom's Union fees were well below 1% of her bring home.
Where did you see that "renewables are sorted out"? Or that windpower "doesn't need batteries as much as solar does".

Thank you so much. This is the info I was looking for for 10 years!
Is this a serious question? Are you talking about voting for politicians? Anyone can start as many corporations as they want.

Also corporations have roughly 100 million shares and anyone can buy a single share, so your formula would give one corporation more votes than the number of people who participated in the 2016 US election.

Do you really think corporations are under represented in the political process?
If there are problems with counterfeit Apple chargers, why wouldn't there be problems with "brand name" foods?

Maybe things with very distinctive tastes (Doritos, Coke, etc) you might have a point but outside that it's largely packaging.
Ask HN: Is YouTube using a dark pattern to prevent background playlist play?
I listen to youtube playlists in the background fairly regularly and I've noticed some interesting changes in the last couple of weeks. Initially it began with an auto pause, and a popup saying video paused, click to continue.

More recently playlists have been looping the same song at seemingly random, looking to support forumss gives hundreds of comments reporting similar behaviour. (https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/16267152?hl=en)

Is youtube trying to drive adoption of youtube red by intentionally reducing the user experience for non premium users?
If your posture is so bad that you literally can’t or don’t know how to stand up straight, your hamstrings might be super tight. Mine were, anyway.

>Why do we still allow fracking?

Because people want to drive cars, fly on airplanes, make use of advanced materials, and have goods shipped across the world to their doorstep in a week among other things.

The oil industry exists because people want the quality of life the use of oil enables them to have. Until we have just as cost effective alternatives to all the things the use of oil lets us have it will continue to exist.

Another poster uses Erie, CO as an example how the oil industry are bad actors. The poster fails to mention Erie is a bedroom community full of people living in big new suburban houses and driving their vehicle (very likely an SUV) into Denver for work everyday
> Authorities lie, seagulls get cancers too, and there are superfund everywhere you find a nuclear industry.

So based on information that you don't have but assume exists there is a problem? There is actual evidence of known problems that nuclear solves. Like air pollution from coal.

I don't want to sound unsympathetic, the government does lie and I also subscribe to a couple of out-there conspiracy theories. It is just there is a lot of evidence that the nuclear threat is way overblown.

> Either have long term storage, or drop nuclear. There’s no in between

You could move them in to new decade-long storage once a decade. As mentioned, those are small ponds. The world is not made up of absolutes.
I’m talking about nights though. Morning busy does make sense.

Forget the URLs, it’s my IP address I’m worried about.
Thank god someone is saying it. ActionScript 3 was my first programming language! Without flash (and I know the many reasons for its extinction), there's nothing that truly "bundles" an interactive experience altogether into one little file, which plays in just one little box. To be honest, "responsive" concerns shouldn't be the job of the creative. That's an external concern. Video games generally simply scale graphics to fit the screen using a simple algorithm and that's that. But when you design, for example, games on the web, you have the luxury of fine-grained adjustment based on browser, resolution, DPI, etc. But that freedom is exactly what creates an ambiguous "boundary" for internet games. They aren't guaranteed to fit in this 800x600 div that *'s games portal site requires.

In short, I think that the open & open-ended, non-strict support-all-the-technologies nature of the web is too free for creative production. There's too much. There's a known principle that limitations are crucial to creative expression to the same degree the "tools" and "medium" are. We need an open-source spiritual successor to flash which utilizes the wonder web ecosystem but exposes a more constrained API so that games/interactive experiences are portable and to an extent LIMITED again.
Amazon sells lots of food items that are sold by Amazon.com. You have to use discretion, but there is nothing wrong with buying multi-vitamins, probiotics and supplements on Amazon. However, it is probably a good idea to not buy them from a third-party seller.
Around half of NYC residents don’t own a car. In Manhattan 3 of 4 don’t own one. Luggage bags have wheels and lots of older people have small wheeled carts for moving groceries, etc. more easily.

Movement of all but the rarest, large items is not a problem.
Isn't this what TerraPower is trying to solve? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraPower#Environmental_effec...
I opened a Wal-Mart account for a product that was "reserved for Prime" and I couldn't buy from Amazon. It came from the same third party supplier.
Making hand annotation with a digital pencil more seamlessly integrated with typed and otherwise native digital docs actually seems like a great direction to be moving in. Things are moving there to a degree but it’s still hard to shift back and forth between modes.

Adam Neumann is the most brilliant, but perhaps somewhat repulsive, [not short] seller of the unicorn bubble.

People sometimes incorrectly assume that the proper way to benefit from overpriced assets is to sell them short. Truth is that any selling will suffice! Housing bubble? Build more houses, sell. Corporate credit bubble? Start a corporation, get credit. Tech unicorn valuation bubble? You got it, create a stupid startup, pay yourself huge salary and sell your stock on private markets.

Bottom line is that supply follows demand - if there is demand then supply will materialize. This is the "magic" of capitalism. It's no different with WeWork, which is a consequence of investors chasing outsized returns in a low return environment.

Matt Levine's column on the topic (scroll to "We We We"):

And if you don't believe that this is caused by chasing crazy returns see this interview with Masayoshi Son about how he secured $45B in 45 minutes from the Saudi prince (1:05). He said he wants to give him a $1T gift:

Congratulations, this is a Michael Burry level of play. But not as "pure".
I've tried this a few times. Twice, it come out great, and once it failed (I think temp was too cold and it didn't rise quite enough.)

All three times, I made a huge mess. The dry flour goes everywhere, the dough is very sticky and gets on my hands and spoon and the towel and plastic wrap the recipe has you using. If I could figure out how to not make a huge mess, it would be 100x more convenient to make.

Surely if they have the funds to bribe companies into picking intel, they could instead be using that money to make their offerings on par with AMD $/performance wise instead?
They are making a legit decision that reflects their position in the market and their relative economic strength as individuals vs as a group. If they don’t do this their relative economic position is unacceptably weak, and they should not be expected to shoulder it passively.
I hate to see the trajectory of scammers incorporating into our global economies and blur the lines so much that online shopping becomes dubious. As far as I can tell eBay used to be under assault by bad characters, they probably still are to some greatly lesser extent but it seems to have at least exited the wild west phase they were being dragged into. Amazon should not allow their platform to be abused even with their A-Z policy because the unsuspecting would still be cheated.

Makes this recent ad hold more appeal about "offline shopping" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5c_Br-mO7Po
BTW, for all the elderly ;) HNers, the mid-twenties came of age during the golden age of Flash, which almost defined the internet at that point in time. Dammit, I'm getting teary-eyed. It was elementary, junior, and high-school for me. Many memories of consuming content through Flash, AND also PRODUCING content with flash. Learning how to program with pirated versions of then-Macromedia's flagship product - now working at... the company that proved old dogs can (sort of) learn new tricks ;). Perhaps it's analogous to a Commodore 64 or something for the older guys, hahaha.
Maybe not the Vision fund itself. But analysts seem to think that Softbank stock is really cheap when measured against its paper assets.

Game Maker is hugely underrated and often dismissed because of its name.

It’s an incredibly powerful and easy to use game/interactive-app maker that can export packaged programs to Windows, OSX, Linux, and HTML5, then with additional licensing/fees to game consoles.

It has a drag-and-drop mode for absolute beginners that can let someone with zero experience be creating simple games in their first weekend playing with it.

Then it has GML mode which is their programming language with excellent documentation and a decent community cranking out tutorials and guides, which has put out some seriously legit indie games such as Red Strings Club, Hyperlight Drifter, and Hotline Miami.

It’s also not just for games. It’s great for making interactive stories (I’ve made interactive kids books with it), HTML5 demos and interfaces, 2D physics demos, and even does basic 3D stuff.

(Not affiliated just a big fan and use it extensively).
Flash as an authoring tool is very much alive; Hasbro's infamous My Little Pony tv series is animated in Flash, to give a random example.

It's a great animation tool with a great learning curve, I'm surprised Adobe isn't doing more to get it in the hands of teenagers^w young creators.
i'm a big fan of mixed-use streets. for example, on a 6-lane street, you'd have sidewalks for foot traffic, 1 grade-separated lane each way for bikes/scooters, 1 protected lane each way for buses, and 1 lane each way for cars, with the car lane being progressively congestion-priced (by income/wealth so that you don't completely shut out the poor from driving into the city when necessary).

for efficiency and traffic calming, narrow the car lane to 9-10 ft wide (rather than the typical 11-12 ft in the US), but leave 11-12 ft wide lanes for buses (and emergency vehicles). 6-8 ft bike lanes allows 2-abreast biking/scootering. widen sidewalks and plant trees along all of them. there should be no free street parking, except for the disabled (and maybe temporary commercial use), limited to side streets rather than major thoroughfares.

i'm cheering for LA to do this, with it's awesome weather, endlessly-wide streets, and bad and worsening traffic.
This is a lot of history crammed into an hour. Goes from the early code-breaking work and the development of Drum Memory at Engineering Research Associates.

ERA merged with Sperry/Univac/Remington and then begat Control Data, Cray, Unisys and many others.

Also tune in for some history of the Oregon Trail by Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) and how that ties into the rise of Internet Gopher.

Oh and disclaimer: former Gopher Dude here.
I was introduced to programming in middle school with Batch. A friend of mine was making a script to chat between computers and being able to make something interactive on a computer was so cool to me that I had him explain it. I learned Batch, then I learned Lua, Python, Java, and kept going. Minecraft which was really big at the time, drew me into making servers for my friends, which introduced me to plugins and programming them.

I think there will always be easy ways to break into tech, they just might change from year to year.
There's quite a good book I read a while ago about store-brand supply chains called Where the Underpants Come From [1]. It's a travelogue where the author travels through Asia tracing the entire logistical chain for a pair of underpants. It's a fun read and covers a lot of this stuff.

> There's basically no persistence to what the SKU actually represents.

I disagree. The SKU represents generic ankle socks. They're a commodity.

I'm not calling our history the best case, it's a bad case, but it's not the worst case.

Nuclear is completely safe in the best-case scenario. Nuclear is safe if nothing goes wrong, if the weather is fine, if the people follow the protocols, if nothing unforeseen occurs. If one of those things isn't true, we get Chernobyl, or Fukushima, or perhaps next time, instead of being "not that bad", or "pretty bad", it's worse, because of something we didn't foresee, and we regret it for the rest of human history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_nuclear_disasters_and...

It's not like we've only had one or two incidents with one or two technologies.

I think we're not ready, yet.
That's basically how every Republican argument defending Trump goes right now.

Oh, well this or that Democrat is even worse or just as bad.
Been laid off three times with the same company. Joined right when they started a decade long downsize process. Lay offs, 1.5 years of getting used to the new structure, then another set of lay offs. Leaving the company meant starting my green card process over again, so I got rehired each time.

First time? Panic. Third time? Meh.

You realize it’s not personal at all. Some consultants make some recommendation treating thousands of people as just numbers.

Realized that layoffs REALLY mess up a company’s productivity. Even if you weren’t cut, you start to think “fuck this company”.

In the long run it completely eliminated any loyalty to my employer. It’s just business. If something better comes along, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave.
