I think it's great graphic design, wasted on a project that doesn't need branding or identity, and certainly doesn't need any more publicity than it already has. That logo could have been used on something that brought joy into people's lives.
What she knows is that you often don't need it later.
last time i checked, gmail supports generic IMAP accounts as well.
None of the UI frameworks have been ported.
Please don't tell anyone. WASM can be better, but they need to not think it's Lisp.
The investors. If you give a loose cannon many billions of dollars, who is at fault?

But yes, normal employees are paying the price here.
I too don't get the systemd hate.

I like systemd precisely because the components are nicely integrated with each other. It seems like what we would design after learning the lessons of the last 15-20 years of how to manage a linux/unix machine.

I would assume more programmer types would like that the redundant "intelligence" that was placed in every init script is now gone, and replaced by a common core that allows you to declaratively say what's different about your daemon (or mount, timer, etc). I've also read that systemd has smart defaults, which is a great thing overall over init scripts.

I don't know if this is true, but I would also guess that it makes learning for newer people easier, since you have a similar paradigm and set of tools for your services, mounts, timers, etc.

It's consistent, which is great if you don't want to learn 20 different ways of doing things.

But then again, I also love the ideas from MS PowerShell and wish we had something like that in the *nix world, so we could pipe objects around rather than having to work with text and use awk, sed, cut, print, and all those things to keep legacy workflows around from decades ago. So maybe I'm just weird :)
Something I've always worried about: if I provide my bank's login credentials to a service which uses Plaid/Yodlee and due to a security breach my bank account is somehow drained, who's liable? Most banks explicitly state that losses due to sharing of credentials are not protected by their fraud guarantees. Are customers at risk by using Plaid?
Would you mind explaining what you mean? I can't see any connection between wework and meetup.
Assuming a long enough timeline, I can’t see why they wouldn’t. But that’s just a subjective guess on my part.

I think AI content creation will affect everything. Publishing will only be tiny part of that...but a significant part if that’s your industry.
She's not buying junk. She's selling. If that's not walking the walk, I don't know what is.
These days any new technology has a stampede of youtube tutorial makers, Pluralsight authors, and other programmer "influencers" that make it seem like it's the next new thing.

At the same time people who understand one technology may not want to learn new ideas and techniques. If it aint broke don't fix it.

The point of me writing these two conflicting ideas is inject some skeptisism into the conversation. Maybe you aren't missing anything and the tool is overhyped and you don't fully understand the benefits. Both of these things can be true.
> c) there are exactly 4 words

Going from "4 words" to "4 words or less" is absolutely negligible for sufficiently large words list. For example, if you take a dictionary of just 3000 words, then "4 words" is 46.20299 bits of entropy while "4 words or less" is 46.20346 bits of entropy. The larger the dictionary, the worse the effect becomes.
And you can add others like Shadow, or you could roll your own using Parsec or Moonlight + a cloud provider like Paperspace or AWS (or even Google cloud).

What is important in case of Shadow, GeForce Now and roll you own, that you buy a PC game that you can access on any PC, not just using a single service (like Stadia, or xCloud).
So, I knew I wanted to use my own email domain going forwards to prevent this problem in the future. I got inbox@firstlastname.com set up, and forwarded it to Gmail. Then for about a year and a half, anytime I looked at account settings anywhere I'd change it from my Gmail address to my own address. (But it all still ended up in the same inbox.)

When I decided to switch to FastMail in 2016, I repointed that address at FastMail and the vast majority of stuff moved with me... instantly. FastMail also has tools to import your mail archive using IMAP for what's already in your Gmail account.

Now that all of my mail uses my own domain name, if I ever needed to leave FastMail, it'd be painless... none of my mail is going to a FastMail address to begin with.

My strong recommendation is that people do this even if they intend to stick with Gmail for the time being, just to give themselves the future option.
I believe there's a scaling factor, so lower powered cores like this are charged as a fraction of a Xeon you'd normally use.
Gotcha, thanks! When you say "provides an additional layer of fraud prevention", you mean you're verifying against some external service like Checkr or something?

If not, very curious how you solve for false negatives in your KYC. That itself is a meaty problem domain. I remember when Coinbase was scaling, tons of folks were complaining about being unable to access funds because they were told that they weren't providing proper identifying information, even when they were, in fact, were.
I find it very ironic how much slack is moving towards an email UI, given their "goal" to eradicate email a while ago.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough in my first message. I absolutely support the same thing and I don't mean creepy in a bad way. Maybe eerie is a better word for what I feel about public messages before passing away. I have no problem with voluntary eutanasia
I'm a bit worried about macOS releases since it's never something that really excites me anymore, apart from the new file system. I just need a robust system to work with.

iOS 13 was jam packed with new features, but released too early because of hardware release schedule. I waited it out until 13.2. Still some weird bugs here and there like adding a phone number as a name from new contacts from incoming calls.
Same question here. I wonder if Plaid has an official answer on this.
Some electronic components, switches, plugs, relays, lamps, usually have a listed number of cycles they can withstand before failure. Back when I worked in the industry, some of these values were surprisingly low.
They don't. I'm not talking about console ports but interfaces for forwarding.
Even if you believe that Hitler has taken power (which I am sure some people believe), what is your analog of "civil liberties of X 'temporarily' curtailed"? What specific event do you point to that you think is equivalent to that?
I’ve been wanting something like this! A browser plugin that would add a Co2 tax to products. The aim being to nudge shoppers to realize the hidden costs of cheap goods that are shipped at great distances. Buy local. Buy for life.
GbE is slow, yes, but GbE for the amount of compute a raspi 4 can do is massive. Raspis don’t even have the oomph to max out GbE links. You hook 48 raspi 4 into a switch and using a 25 GbE link to a storage cluster.

Edit: It is conceivable that a raspi has the oomph to max out a GbE link but is limited to 300 Mbps due to the use of a USB 2.0 bridge in between the ethernet interface and the SoC. My mistake.
Hi there, I'm a data scientist and economist who uses the main Python stats libraries regularly. I was frustrated by how long it takes to fit basic regression models and diagnose models, so I began working on a package called Appelpy (Applied Econometrics Library for Python).

The aim: Make regression modelling as easy as pie.

Now that I've tightened up my code coverage and fleshed out some documentation – ReadTheDocs and notebook tutorials that can be viewed with Binder & Nbviewer – I'm sharing the library more widely!

The library is built upon Statsmodels but I've tried to make a more cohesive interface for regression modelling, with model diagnostics in mind especially. Model diagnostics are the time-consuming and repetitive part of regression modelling in Python, but through Appelpy diagnostics can be done with minimal code.

This is the first project I've released on PyPI and I was working on it to hone my software engineering skills, so I'm interested in tips and feedback.

The short answer is, yes they are getting better.

However, it really depends more on what is causing your specific discomfort. For some people it can be the locomotion or just bad visuals. The comfort/heat of the headset also can cause issues. If I don't use VR for awhile, then I get a little nauseous my first 1 or 2 times in, but after that I can handle just about anything for many hours.
Ask HN: Is Stadia just a prototype for thin client?
When I tore apart my gen1 Chromebook, I was surprised at how little hardware was actually in there. I hadn't expected much apart from a wifi card and a flash drive... but still it was minimal.

Now with Stadia going full blown streaming I wonder if this is just a monetizable prototype for a thin client technology for a leaner versio of Chromebook/ GSuite (cringe) businesses.

Someone else made an awesome Sun Microsystems post that made me hypothesize.
Ask HN: Upcoming product, please provide your comments and advice, thank you
Hi guys,

I'm Rob. Recently, my friend and I developed a product for the steering wheel. We mainly hope that all car owners can customize their carbon fiber steering wheel like the supercar owners without worrying about the airbag and the OEM warranty.

We built the product concept three years ago, until last September, we decided to leave the job and concentrate on developing this product. In April this year, the feasible Prototype 1.0 had produced.

Our product is a custom steering wheel suit for an exclusive person and car.
Based on the design factors below, you can design your steering wheel suit.

Fiber weave (Twill/ Plain),
Carbon look (Gloss/ Matte),
Leather material (Nappa/ ALCANTARA®),
Leather Colors,
Leather arrangement,
Stitch Color.

In addition to the above features, there is a super cool technology, you can upload any image you want, and then we turn it into a decal under the coating layer, to fit it with your steering wheel.
At present, we continue to improve the Prototype 2.0. I wish that you who love the car interior mod can give some advice so that we can make it better.

The product photographs are here.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask or discuss with us, thank you.

Not "sorta", it's software raid and thus, like software raid, it's portable to any system that'll run the software and JBOD the drives.

Most would argue RAIDZ is better, but many of these reasons are functionality based over and about just redundancy, i.e. Copy on Write, et all.
> .local is reserved for mDNS by the same RFC that defines mDNS itself (RFC6762), which is from 2013, so not that recent

Right, but A) the RFC post-dates a lot early implementation of "Bonjour" (and the name "Bonjour"), and B) 2013 is unfortunately still "recent" in Windows terms given that Windows 7 was released in 2009. (And Microsoft was trying to get standardized their own variation on mDNS, PNRP in just the previous Windows release. It was kind of a neat attempt as it was built as a DHT rather than purely multicast, though I digress.)

mDNS currently is still limited to UWP APIs, but now more than ever Win32 applications and not just "Modern Apps" can make use of them. Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever be built into SMB share support at the network filesystem level, because again I think Microsoft is trying too hard to distance themselves from many decades of mistakes in SMB1. We'll see what happens.

> where these "best practices" are from

Ironically, .local was used as an example for several years in Active Directory setup documentation, though even then it was highlighted only as a possible stop-gap until a proper DNS name and proper TLS Certificates could be purchased. But, of course, people read the first half and ignore the caveats (especially because they cost money and time to correct) and think they are following "best practices". More evidence for the pile that so much of "best practices" in IT are a cult mentality that only ever read the first half of some recommendation and then blindly followed it forever after.
a Douglas Adams quality

To me, it has more of a Nicholson Baker's "The Mezzanine" feel to it.
I see that Windows MR is supported, but I wonder how well my Dell Visor (which is awesome btw) is going to work with this game -- it doesn't support individual finger tracking, just general hand-location. Will that ruin a lot of the immersiveness?
As I understand it, the goal was also to network with other small businesses using the same space. The spaces were set up to encourage people to find opportunities to work together -- cross-marketing, sharing resources, new ideas. Kind of an incubator, without the financial support or design.

Not inherently a bad idea, though it's full of Silicon Valley optimism where one serendipity produces tons of money while a lot of other things just fail to gel -- but some people get paid regardless.
> Thanks security guy, that saved a BUNCH of time!

No it didn’t. I saved a ridiculously negligible amount of time to attackers while preventing users to pick really weak passwords.
What is Plaid's long-term competitive advantage? It made sense when scraping was the only solution (albeit an extremely dangerous one) but now banks are launching their own APIs, which is allowing some competitors to come in with free bank account linking. A few simple features address most of the needs of a typical fintech, and I don't think anyone is happy with having to integrate Plaid's SDK nor pay their rates.
That's a really clever idea, and fits the setting perfectly. You can be Eli, your kid(s) can be Alyx :)
> What's your definition of authentic? Is a self-hosted email server authentic? How do you decide?

Authentic in terms of DNS. That means using and enforcing DKIM at the minimum.

Also in terms of from: and reply-to: addresses matching each other.

> If 10000 yahoo accounts are sending spam emails to other websites, what do you do? Block all yahoo senders? Try to block the yahoo accounts as they appear?

If 10000 yahoo accounts are sending spam emails, then that's a Yahoo problem. Yes, I would refuse to accept incoming mail from @yahoo.com until they've fixed their complicity.

> All major ISPs host spammers. Often they don't know that they do.

I disagree about not knowing that they do. ISPs must respond to fraud and abuse reports or they would lose the ability to do business. ISPs not responding to spam reports are offloading the cost of policing their users onto you.
Kind of relevant, a friend of mine posted his own writeup about exploiting this bug earlier this month.

I'm not entirely sure but I don't think their point - with econ terms removed - is particularly profound.

I think they're saying "the West" is so capitalist even the stuff people complain restricts free markets doesn't actually. If that's what they're saying I think they're wrong. For a good summary of why, see https://www.ndsu.edu/centers/pcpe/news/detail/32605/

Rephrased:

> Because market norms are so universally accepted in the West that the usual alternative to pure laissez-faire that “free market” arguments are deployed against is

The West is very pro market, so when people argue for free markets they are usually arguing against...

> a market accompanied by regulation aimed at internalizing externalities,

... making companies pay for the harms they cause (an example of internalizing a negative externality would be charging a factory for the CO2 they emit)

> perhaps with socialization of a very narrow band of industry for which internalizing externalities in private trade is not seen as practical.

... or maybe having the government own the company in the narrow spaces that makes more sense (probably they're referring to utility companies, but usually the argument for the government controlling that sort of company is slightly different)

>×That is, it is usually deployed in situations where it can be seen as an argument for maintaining a situation where trade occurs with substantial unmitigated negative externalities over an alternative which addresses some of the negative externalities but otherwise preserves markets.

In other words when people cry "free markets" they're usually arguing against solutions that would result in slightly regulated but free enough markets.
She’s pragmatic and has to somehow capitalize on her success. And the very reason everyone owns so much crap is because this is the way you can easily do that. Selling cheap shit to the masses. She was never preaching an end to consumerism or actual social change. She just had a cute pitch for a role that could provide her fame so she could get a payday.

No doubt tons of fans of hers will fill their houses with her crap-ware and the irony will be lost on them. But what does it matter? They’ll buy it because they want to express their alignment with her image through their spending. Just like they bought an exercise bike because they wanted to seem fit. And then they threw it out because she told them it was what they should do and they listened and now she’s saying buy tuning forks and they’ll listen.
Back in 2012 or 2013 I built an auto-scaling WordPress hosting off of Azure. It worked OK, better than shared hosting, but the $15 base VM at Azure (it was a cheaper time back then) couldn't compete with the base $10 droplet at Digital Ocean (it was a more expensive time back then).

On top of that Digital Ocean's API was so much better than Azure. So I spent a week and switched to Digital Ocean. Needed to scale the instances less, cost less, so more profit!

Unfortunately after 2 months of development, and half a year of marketing it, we only managed to attract a handful of customers, and had to shut it down.
How on earth can you have any kind of meaningful conversation about Microsoft's Linux strategy and not even mention Azure?

Microsoft's Cloud service is one of their fastest growth businesses and Linux is a huge piece of that.
After trying both X-Plane and DCS: World (and a couple of others, waiting for to see if Microsoft's Flight Simulator manages to include VR or not as well), X-Plane's VR is definitely good but DCS: World is way better. It seems to operate way smoother. I'm more of a fan of using joysticks instead of the VR controllers as well.

> Now what's funny about all of the animosity today, is that other than the problem of domestic terrorism, there are no acute issues.

I was with you the whole paragraph until this. Unless you're living in a nice Suburb and haven't been paying attention to news, we (well, the US, but some are global) face a lot of very serious issues that do demand an urgency of action, since talking hasn't been very useful in resolving them:

* Climate Change and decarbonization
* Social Media destabilizing and undermining democracies all over the world leading to violence against minorities worldwide
* [US] Police brutality and general incarceration of African Americans
* [US] Rising healthcare expenses potentially putting reasonable healthcare out of the reach of most Americans, especially the most vulnerable
* [US] Inequal economic development completely devastating most regions of the US leading to social instabilities
* [US] Massive student load debts, trapping an entire generation under the weight of unpayable debt

And those are just a few things I thought about right away.

There are a variety of issues that need urgent action to tackle them.
No. Every time you use a plunger, it sparks joy as soon as you see the water level drop and realize you don't need to call a plumber.
Never tried them, will look into them. Thanks for the tip!

A while back I figured that I like writing in the books, but rarely use them for reference. So I just get rid of them after a while. I think it is OK for things to be ephemeral.
I think you might want to revisit some history there. Consider Yellow Dog Democrats and the actions of various political machines. Politics has always been a sport, at least as far as being Us vs. Them. And sometimes sports become politics: see the Nika riots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nika_riots).

Modern social media may exacerbate the effect, but it didn't invent it.
I'm not judging, but I'm honestly surprised we care what Marie Kondo does and how she betrays her whole premise. Sure, I heard about her, but is she considered to be a respectable lifestyle guru in USA now, or what? I thought, she is just some media-entertaiment celebrity for housewives, and it's not like it is unusual for a celebrity (or anybody else, for that matter) to betray his whole premise about 500 times a day...
Nearly every "gamer" I know is planning on getting VR just for this. Purely anecdotal but actually a lot.
pocketsmith (https://www.pocketsmith.com/) is a pretty good solution for this. I was a Mint user that was concerned about the privacy and also looking for a service that provided an API. I'm not 100% sure about the privacy, but they do provide an API for your own financial data.
Haven’t tried Stadia, but I imagine the input lag problem is not resolved. FPS games will likely be unplayable.

I tried Steams version which steams a video from your gaming pc to another pc on local host and the input lag is still noticeable

Hi, OP here.
You're correct on the symlink point, they're the reason chrooting is needed, as they caused several vulnerabilities in Docker and Podman cp in the past. The good news is that there is a new syscall designed to solve that exact problem, openat2(), which you'll be able use to restrict path resolution when opening files (https://lwn.net/Articles/796868/). It will make helper processes and chrooting to the container redundant.

Running helper processes entirely in the container is actually quite problematic, since they will be visible to proceses in the container that could try to affect their output. This solution though is used in Kubernetes, and it resulted in 4 vulnerabilities in the last year. Ariel Zelivansky and I just gave a talk on the security of the cp command in KubeCon, you can check out the slides here (https://kccncna19.sched.com/event/d229f00f143036f7c488144e60...) for more information.

As for the fix, I'm pretty sure newer Golang versions stopped dynamiclly loading libraries at runtime, which is nice. I Should have included that in the post but forgot.
