Now, with DoH, VPNs will be nore relevant if you don't trust our IPS.

Today, if you change you DNS to another resolver, your IPS won't bother because majority will not change and you can pass under their radar.

With DoH, IPSs will be forced to log filtered/mapped IP requests so they can keep doing whatever they're doing today with DNS queries.

So, when DoH matures, IPS won't see your DNS queries but it won't matter for them any more as they will be seeing all other requests
I've been thinking that for the 13 years I've lived in LA, and somehow the city still completely sucks at tech. Silicon Beach is basically a joke in comparison to any actual tech hub - the salaries suck, the companies are largely exactly what you'd expect from LA cliches (marketing, fashion, sports, entertainment, etc.), and the success stories are few and far between. These days it seems like there's more going on in Irvine than there is in LA. (If you don't believe me, just look at HN's "Who's Hiring" posts.)

Part of the problem is probably that LA is so close to the Bay Area - it's easy for tech talent to move up the coast or even semi-commute there instead of building a new hub.
It's not a private API, the docs are just out of date. You can technically set any object as the contents of a CALayer (the property's type is `id` or `Any`), it's just that most objects won't do anything productive.

The docs call out using images specifically because that's the 99% use-case; they need to be updated saying that `IOSurfaceRef`s can be used as layer content as well.

`IOSurfaceRef` itself was actually private at one point, IIRC, but isn't anymore.
> "companies that are utterly lacking in ... diversity ... somehow make massive profits in spite of their handicap."

It's important to keep in mind that profits often result from harmful externalities. Those externalities may only impact particular subsets of the population, and so there may be harms that result from a lack of diversity which are not captured by market pricing. In an ideal world, the market would price these in, perhaps by regulation, but we don't seem to have been living in the world according to e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/feb/23/truth-w... (perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but I think this may suggest that your mother, daughters, etc. are more likely to be killed as a result of lack of diversity in extremely profitable companies...).

I don't think spying on your kids should be common, but I absolutely know people who have had kids get into some trouble or have good reason to be worried about their safety, and use some "spying" apps to keep an eye on them and help with accountability. I've known helicopter parents, for sure, but I've also known parents who have had close calls with kidnappings, kids who had some brushes with the law and were struggling to keep their distance from the wrong crowd, etc. If a tool fills a need for safety or helps keep honest kids honest, sometimes that's the right tool for the job while they go through the awkward phase of being adolescent: dependent on their parents, the responsibility of their parents, but not mature enough to be 100% on their own and making serious life-affecting decisions.
Ghost in the Shell, 1995. Amazing film.
I specifically mentioned Frankie Boyle because folks tend to find him offensive. He also hosts a show talking about serious-ish topics, generally in a funny tone. The others were just comedic takes on more serious stuff.

But really, they were examples of comedy that the person claimed was hobbled as a result of political correctness - and I don't see it as the case at all. Comedy simply isn't what it was 30 years ago, but at the same time... comedy isn't what it was 50 years ago either.

Actually from what I understand automation did displace certain specialty professions, such as weavers, and those people displaced generally had to take Shittier jobs or start from square one again in a new profession. That is to say, assuming there will not be upheaval as certain careers are completely ravaged is ahistorical.
That’s unquestionably true (UT is amazing, there are research labs, AMD, ApPle and more...) but it’s small. Perhaps I should have been more clear.
Yeah, I agree with you completely.

I think we will probably get fission to like 4/5 of the world energy supply and 95% of electricity within our lifetimes.

Solar panels are a great thing to have on your house if you can afford them and want the security in the case of some kind of grid problem. They're also good if you need energy in the middle of nowhere. We want to put fission reactors in most remote communities, even small ones, but if small enough groups of people are going out into uninhabited places it doesn't make sense, so solar panels are better.

I don't really see any utility in wind energy at all, other than in areas where solar doesn't make sense.

Batteries are a really environmentally bad idea for non-transport/device energy supply, because of density. So I think it's best we avoid intermittent sources for most of the grid power.
No, Webkit used to be a cross platform renderer which work started on Linux in the first place, so it is definitely not MacOS only.

It helps that huge segments of the city are basically expensive ghettos with storied histories of racial tensions, crime, gangs, and drugs. And it doesn't hurt that the LAPD has such a bad reputation. It really is an easy place to set a crime story and have it still be believable.
I'm sorry, that's just not realistic. The census folks know what they're doing, and when they map out the census areas they factor in the commuting patterns and economic overlap between these areas.

Austin and San Antonio are close by, but there's a noticeable gap, and nearly no one lives in Austin and works in San Antonio or vice versa. Austin and San Antonio don't have the same housing prices, salaries, etc. Contrast that to a place like DFW where the boundaries all blur together and people cross-commute all over the region, and consequently they're lumped together in the census area.

To put this one last way, the census area described as Boston is about 60 minute driving radius around the central city. On the best of times you could make it from downtown Austin to downtown San Antonio in ~80 minutes, and in practice they each have distinct commuting sheds of 45-60 minutes that partially overlap around San Marcos.

Austin is great, and also it's half the population of Boston :)
Great film, loved Kurt Vonnegut's cameo in it and the plotline involving him
Yes this is true, it really depends what you want from your VPN. For security and anti-cencorship this works, among many other useful things that you can't do with a normal VPN - but if you are evading authorities or something then you cannot be personally associated with the server.

I suppose that negates my point about it's obscurity, since you only care about that if you are evading prying eyes of some sort.

I've updated my original comment to include your point.

Their city region labels are odd. The paper is behind a paywall, but it seems like San Diego & Ventura Co should be added to LA, and Tuscon should be added to Phoenix/Mesa. Maybe they're there already, but it feels like not from their choice of labels (not sure what high tech is in Riverside)
I could have omitted Trotsky's ideological proclivities, and simply mentioned that describing him as an intellectual given his responsibility in perpetuating mass murder is obscene.

As for the positive/negative connotations of the term intellectual, I would respectfully disagree. No one describes recognized mass murderers as intellectuals, at least not that I'm aware of, and certainly would never limit their description of such a person to merely an intellectual. It would be intellectually irresponsible to not also mention their crimes. It's this lack of recognition that I took issue with. I hope me mentioning that in the future without mentioning ideology wouldn't be deemed as violating HackerNews guidelines.

It's not entirely fraud because placebo does have an effect. The important thing is to communicate to the patient that it is not a complete solution, and that they should also seek additional treatment if it exists.

from a moral standpoint, it's also not right to prevent some people from getting a placebo that will help them.

placebo is similar to religion: it can do so much good to some people, that I don't think you have the moral right to take that away from them, even if that religion include absurd things.

> Of course, you could mitigate this by setting up your own VPN on something like Linode, but unless you're regularly rotating IP addresses, you've just traded a pseudo-identifier that multiple people/devices share for a persistent identifier.

This actually happened to me. I'm using a persistent VPN (50% to access my private infrastructure and 50% because I have a hostile ISP).

I mostly don't use any Google services (maybe one google search a month and the occasional google map search but I avoid when I can) and I was very surprised when once I did a google search and saw my postal code at the end of the page. The IP address was for a VPS (in the same city but with a different post code). I found it unusual but didn't pay too much attention. A few months later I moved places (different post code) and after a while google had my new post code at the end of their search page. That's when I found it troubling and assumed that a family member's iPhone was using Google Maps and based on the 'directions' usage they figured out that that IP address has a home address for those GPS coordinates.
(The iPhone in question is reasonably 'hardened' with background updates off and location services only 'when app opened' and disabled for most system services).
That was the only plausible correlation between IP address and location google could have done automatically - neither I nor the said family member no longer login to old google accounts we had many years back.

That's when I started rotating IP daily (which is trivial in my case as I use lightsail, I issue a shutdown from a different server and then a power on, AWS rotates the IP automatically out of a very large pool - so far I haven't gotten the same IP twice).

The only problem I have with lightsail is that I often get a 'dirty' IP so I rotate 4-5 times before getting a good one (I test this by going a curl on a website that sends google captcha on dirty IPs but lets the 'good' ones straight in).
> Modern GCs are faster but they're by no means free, and totally unnecessary if you just give the compiler the information it needs to do its job statically

These are not mutually exclusive.

(1) A GC'd language can still do static analysis at compile-time or JIT-time to avoid GC all-together when possible
(2) GC'd languages can have RAII/static-scoping capabilities such as immutable value-typed (non-ref) structs which require initialization and using{}/after blocks for scoped lifetime
(3) GC'd languages can have owned-object semantics like C#'s Span<> to avoid GC
(4) You can use unsafe and pointers and GC'd languages a well

So you can still program with an eye toward efficiency for any code that shows perf issues using many of the same constructs you do in Rust, in a GC'd language -- but be able to fall back on GC when lifetime issues are complex or hard real-time perf is not an issue.

Again, I'm not bad-mouthing Rust at all -- I'd far prefer it to C++ in the context where the latter is appropriate.
A completely free market of a commodity good produces the theoretical maximum economic surplus. You can argue that the wages are not distributed evenly, but the most dollars are earned under capitalism. That means that not _everyone_ is underpaid.

This is affecting my websites that use cloudfront, for which Amazon apparently uses their own Route 53 for DNS (nslookup -query=ns cloudfront.net). Since the only way to call remote assets from cloudfront as a website asset is to use:
xyz.cloudfront.net
or a CNAME such as
mysites-cdn.com that maps to xyz.cloudfront.net it seems there is no way to use cloudfront without the Route53 lookup.

If route53 is down and that is required to use cloudfront how is this not affecting more people? I have had about dozen customers complain today.
Agriculture is the single most destructive human activity. It is the primary cause of the extraordinary biodiversity loss we had the last 80 years.

We lost half of all life in numbers https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks/oct-19-2019-understanding-th..., agriculture is the primary cause of that.

Look with your own eyes what is left only 150 years after we arrived in Western Australia, https://earth.google.com/web/@-33.86075979,117.66498741,330.... and most of that happened in the last 50 years.

So anything we can do to increase yield, and restoring current agricultural land to original habitat, as far as that is possible, is a very worthy cause.

If you look at the IRV plots boundary by boundary instead of as a whole, you see that most of the boundaries are in the same places as they are for other methods, but the boundary for whichever candidate is in the center can become chaotic. If you look at borda however, all of the boundaries shift, and they all shift in ways that favor candidates toward the center of the distribution.

This says to me that Borda would not intuitively match people's ideas of what an election would do far more often, while IRV would have chaotic results mainly in exceptional cases.

I work at the Orange County office of a fairly sizable Bay Area company, and to be honest, I've not had an incredible amount of desire to move to the bay because the OC salary is basically the same (maybe better) after factoring in the difference in cost of living. That and in OC I can live 5 miles / 10 minutes from the office whereas I don't know how far/long I'd have to commute to live in the Bay.

Admittedly, I don't know what the OC startup scene is like, I've got student loans that can't be paid with equity...
I did some interesting work in this space. With several thousand seasons of data I used an MLP network to visualize phenotypic plasticity (how plants react to a range of environmental conditions).

Accurately cleaning the input data proved to be extremely important, because there's a tremendous amount of "noise" at the individual level when dealing with living organisms, so lots of high-quality data is necessary to tease out relationships. Establishing causality was also important, considering the potential for confounding variables.

It also gave me a chance to brush up on my React/front end skills, but that was more ancillary.
