You are way high for almost anything but a company website that has an engineering team dedicated to it. Yes, there are exceptions (my blog could handle orders of magnitude higher traffic than that, but I had a multi-tier CDN in front of it with 100% full page caching. Did it need it, no, but it was fun to setup).

Typically speaking, most personal / non-professional sites going down from a HoD on HN probably got under 500 concurrent requests.
There is no place to park.

The city works if you are able-bodied without kids. In that case, you walk as far as 11 miles but usually just a few miles. It also sort of works for the people with $2,000,000 single-family homes, because driving to a distant supermarket (with parking) becomes an option.

Note that that isn't true in most (all?) European countries. It is illegal to eavesdrop on employees without a strong and particular reason.

They are focusing on self dealing by Neumann. Can’t wait to read about it from Matt Levine.
It’s amazing to see this story keep on developing apparently after it was all supposed to be said and done when he left the company.
To be totally fair I hated the idea of steam when it first came out.
The article should have started with:

“A company, who weeks after attempting to cash out low-value shares with the dollars of future investors by attempting to IPO under hand-wavy numbers,”

Then continued with the real article:

Is now “expected to lay off thousands of employees beginning this week as it faces ballooning losses”

>But when it enables the delivery of hard-to-block ads, that's too far?

If I'm aware of terrorism, weapons dealing, human trafficking, etc., traffic on my network, I'd certainly block that. That's a different issue from crypto.

Also, I'm not so interested in blocking advertising anyway. I'm interested in blocking unauthorized data leakage (tracking, telemetry, etc.)

> In my opinion it was wrong to go down the path of using DNS for content blocking in the first place.

It has never been an awesome approach, true, but it's often the only approach available.

> Even without widely available DoH, bypassing dns-based content blocking is trivial.

Possible, yes. Trivial, no.

I always, always wear earplugs to concerts. Once you have hearing damage, it never gets better.
I'm by no means lazy but I found the distances between things extremely far to walk, with many large hills in the way (usually). For reference, Manhattan is only 2 miles wide and stuff to do is extremely clustered and easy to access and there's a great subway and cab system. SF is pretty abysmal for many reasons and getting around is one of the main ones.

Totally agreed that there's no place to park btw, yet another difficult thing about that city.
well, that's the thing though - coding interview is pretty much a yes/no thing. What rank you get is typically based on "what rank do you have now?" and "how much do we respect your current employer?"
I'm not sure that a large network is essential. A strong niche is. Owning the market in an influential niche can be enough. Facebook's rise came from universities.

It seems unlikely that this particular new network will succeed, but if it provides value to a tight-knit set of users, it can plant roots and grow.
Yes, and "they just need to turn it down" is certainly oversimplified. Roughly speaking, nobody considers "it's too loud" a significant problem, and so nobody puts in any effort to solve it at any level, including venue design. I was mostly responding to the silly statement that people who think it's loud must be "cuddling speakers".
From someone who tried to make it walkable, it really isn't designed that way.
Still funny for a sports journal.

That's characteristic of 'Long-Form Journalism', which you're right is becoming more common lately.

Another common characteristic that can be annoying with Long-Form Journalism is the way it often jumps around, focusing on the subject at hand for a paragraph, then jumping off into some background context/flavor meanderings for a while before returning again to the core topic.

I kinda enjoy it for what it is, when I have time, but it's a very different thing from 'real news'. More of a reflective, long-term digest piece and I think that's a reflection of where that style came from (think National Geographic more than Daily Telegraph).
There are many articles about this topic. This interview is very well done, substantive, intellectually interesting articles.

As we seen in Hong Kong and Iran, governments don't hesitate to shutdown internet.
Yup, his scheme had plenty of pitfalls, obviously. Which is why people didn't really buy the notion that he was going to pay restitution down the road.

Really, the only thing which could explain how someone could come up with something like that is pure complacency and foolish, short-term greed. Reality has a way of catching up with these games; it's not something anyone would want to get involved in otherwise.
When I traveled for work as a consultant, I would check the XBox more than a few times. Being alone in Sioux Falls, SD in the dead of winter leaves little to do outside the hotel.

If you need a comparison, the mobility of the Nintendo Switch is analogous, except needing an internet connection and rendering triple A games.
k-Anonymity doesn't really work with non-uniform distributions. E.g. if x is your hash prefix and d is a particular domain that matches that prefix, then we can apply Bayes rule:

P(d|x) = P(x|d) * P(d) / P(x)

P(x|d) is 1 in this case (the hash is deterministic), so the probability is just P(d)/P(x). E.g. if "facebook.com" doesn't have a hash collision with another similarly popular site, then you can be pretty sure that a request for hash("facebook.com") is a request for "facebook.com" for a high proportion of requests.

This also adds some overhead. E.g. 400 IPs+TTLs probably wouldn't fit in a 1500 MTU packet, so it might have to be split up or k reduced to fit.

From the ISP perspective, they can also tell which of the k you were interested in because you will probably send a SYN packet to that IP address. Unless you also send 400 SYN packets...

>As a user, shouldn't you be happy if the usage / access to everything by Facebook developers is carefully monitored?

Only in the sense that I would be happy that the serial killer that captured me uses sterilised blades. That would considerably reduce the risk of infection.
> your procedure is very different if your doctor decides they could use a specialist consult.

The necessity of the specialist consult may be unexpected, but it doesn't follow that the cost of it should be secret or obscure, eh?

The intrinsic unpredictability of health care isn't an excuse for additional unpredictability of cost.
And "feeling" it usually just means intuitively adding satisfying and interesting expression to the performance while in a flow state, which at the end of the day is just slight changes in the tempo, rhythm, dynamics, durations, etc.

We're not feeling the "feeling it". We're just enjoying the new and potentially song-improving alterations that often come from a performer getting deep into a performance. If you were to take a pre-recorded piece with those exact same alterations, with no live performer (but could hypothetically make the audio quality the same as a live performance), I bet the audience would feel it just the same when you play the recording. All that matters is what the music sounds like.
For an interesting read, check out the 1MDB scandal - the book "The Billion Dollar Whale" is quite a read.
Just to make sure I'm understanding this correctly: the performance issue you found actually amounts to include-order dependent behavior in GCC and glibc; clang doesn't really have anything to do with anything here except that you used its code formatter to sort your include statements.

If that's the case, the clickbait-y headline's bordering on useless, since the performance differences here have nothing to do with clang itself-- you'd see the same results if you had ordered your includes the same way by hand.
The interesting part is it could've worked if Google actually understood gaming. The PS4's remote play capability is more than usable for most games. That pretty much relies on your own uplink speed and hops over residential internet hosted on underpowered hardware.

Google is one of the few companies that could've had enough data centers geographically spread out enough where most people's latency is tolerable and game selection is curated to not be latency sensitive.

But instead they completely flub both the technical implementation and the pricing model.
Yes, I know folks who worked for Pfizer (which made viagra). They said they had all sorts of spam problems.
Recommender systems are notoriously hard because it's difficult to do better than just recommending the most popular content. You can recommend more personalized content at the expense of KPIs like click-through rate.
Auth0 has done some dirty pricing changes as well. They dropped pricing for a while then raised it a ton. Basically pinching everyone who started using their service.
I'm sure a lot of people feel the same as you, but I very much disagree.

If games aren't art worth preserving, then neither is television, movies, music, etc. I don't see how one can claim those mediums are art but games are somehow not.

Ha! I came here to say something similar. Here in San Jose, the weather tomorrow will be the same as today, most of the time. My joke when I lived in Minnesota was: "If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes. It will be different."

Gotta say though, I don't miss my slow blower even just a wee little bit.
> did the recommendations team develop the system specifically with those KPIs in mind?

Yes they did - in fact they had input on defining them and helped in tracking them.

> Did they ever have access to adequate information to truly solve the problem your team needed solved?

They believed so. Their team was also responsible for our company data warehousing so they knew even better than me what data was available. Basically any piece of data that could be available they had access to.

> And was the same result observed for other uses of their recommendation systems?

I did not have first-hand access to the results of their use in other recommendation contexts. As I mentioned in my original post I only had second-hand accounts from other teams that went the same route. They reported similar results to me.
I found what you're saying a bit hard to parse but it seems to amount to 'this kind of activity should be allowed'.

Can't agree with that. If anything, white-collar fraud like this is under-prosecuted, and more effort should be put towards preventing and detecting it.

This part lost me because I can't see how you can use std::transform (which is in <algorithm>) without hitting this flaw. Unless you edit the headers? I guess you mean the algorithm isn't flawed.

I also didn't understand the title because I don't use clang-format and I skimmed past the single mention of it (my fault).

Regardless, interesting post.
Eh, sure - but you are arguing for non-clickbait titles, while I was replying to the OP who complained about not revealing more about the conclusion in the title. It seems we agree there that some mystery is allowed: the point of contention is on "click-baitiness".

I don't have a similar principled defense of clickbait titles, either in general or mine specifically! I just thought it was a funny one and didn't expend more effort on coming up with a non-clickait one.

That's an independent issue from revealing more info in the title.
>I do see two fighting games and two rhythm games (latency hell!)

Fighting games benefit greatly from low latency, but rhythm games do not. The important thing with rhythm games is consistent latency, and that can be achieved by adding artificial latency when network latency is low. You can adjust the input timing windows forward or backward to match the latency, and many rhythm games already allow that. High latency like you might get with Stadia will make the feedback the game gives you harder to associate with your performance, but when you're playing well you're primarily paying attention to the input cues, so the game is still perfectly fun and playable.
Emacs works great in a terminal, all the issues you mentioned disappear ;) (you didn't mention why you really need GUI Emacs) - I use emacs 95% of the time inside remote tmux sessions, you also have true color support is that your thing, what issues do you have?

I can see where he's coming from but at this point I think the die has been cast. We've got more digital information than ever, and the only alternative to an uncontrolled flow of information is a controlled one, no flow at all, or no information. The latter two would end the information era, and if we aren't prepared to place limits on our connectivity or our wealth of information then any control on the flow of information would simply put too much power into the hands of whomever is in control.

So yeah, I hope we as humanity can surmount the uncontrollable flow of information and see what's at the other side.
Phreaking is my favorite topic right now. I've been working with phones for a decade or so and recently set up a phone server of my own to mess around with. Instead of just letting it sit there unused, subscribers to my podcast get a password to the party line. I'm even going to be releasing a choose your own adventure game on the phone system for subscribers in february or so. There's even a rough version of an phone audio museum if you call in. All of which I'm running on a raspberry pi at the moment, and admittedly need to polish off. It's a super fun hobby, though.

You definitely can't do a lot of the things you used to be able to, but I feel like there are features in freepbx and asterisk that make phones extremely fun.

It seems like stadia or something similar would be perfect for simulation games that are often CPU limited and could be pretty latency tolerant. Would love to play Factorio on a stadia like service. Reaction times are not important and frame rate is usually limited by cpu
I’m not familiar with Portuguese, but for what it’s worth, Spanish has much freer word order than French.

Random example: “I can’t do it” in Spanish can either be no lo puedo hacer or no puedo hacerlo. In colloquial French, j’peux pas l’faire is the only option (or, if you prefer the more standard/formal register: je ne peux pas le faire). This despite “le” and “lo” being direct cognates.
Anecdotally I would imagine the opposite. I am not going to innovate for you after even a 20 or 30 minute commute and all the in-office interruptions and ceremony. After 5 I'm out the door and the lights upstairs are off. I'm not responding to emails or picking up my phone.

However remotely I am basically never off. A common thing that comes up with remote work is you have a hard time just turning off, but I don't mind as I'm not mentally exhausted by interruptions and can actually enjoy the work I'm doing.

But I'm sure its a person to person thing, type of environment, industry, etc.
Bill Gross, Heliogen’s current CEO previously founded eSolar. eSolar proposed using an array of Heliostaticly controlled mirrors to direct light toward a solar cell:

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

So... I’d guess that part of the eSolar approach is carrying over into Heliogen. The control system for using mirrors seems potentially more complex. I assume you want to direct light from an array of mirrors such that it optimally a single cell. Or so that it covers a number of cells, or such that it optimally avoids defective or low performing cells.

So with, some skepticism, I can kind of see an AI play here.

> Then I learned that most combinations of subject,object,verb were just fine and the difference between them was emphasis.

That's true, but the options are often more limited than what one might think based on the above. While the same sentence could theoretically be reshuffled in many orders and yield potentially correct variants for specific, often very contrived contexts, when you have one particular context, you often have to pick one order so that you sound natural.

I would say Hungarian word order is fairly rigid, but it expresses not the syntax of the sentence but the pragmatics. Arguably Hungarian is a topic-prominent language [1], but historically scholars have described Hungarian grammar in terms of concepts from the highly-regarded European languages, like Latin and Greek and everything that doesn't fit that schematic was/is regarded as "fluff", "arbitrary" and "free". There's a lot of structured complexity in there, but it's not in popular grammars (e.g. those used in Hungarian elementary/secondary schools and books for foreigners) and Hungarians themselves won't be able to say why one version "sounds better" than another, because we never learn it ourselves. You're just supposed to pick it up, or if you're so inclined, dig up some academic papers from more recent years.

No matter how technically competent your setup, if your IP is blacklisted by one of the big lists eg Spamhaus then you are screwed. So you need to avoid that. Avoidance tactics involve properly configured MX, A and PTR DNS records. Then you'll need a proper SPF TXT record. Can you do DKIM? DMARC?

Oh and please avoid sending spam to people - it ticks them off and get's you blacklisted.
