Hey, addressing some of the concerns raised here directly:

> - client side query construction basically puts you in a position ..

We recommend using a proxy server for these cases. It's on our roadmap to add first-class support for search templates which would completely prevent query generation to happen client-side.

> - it's extremely aggressive in sending lots of queries to elasticsearch ..

This is configurable by using the debounce prop. And the number of queries depend on what components you would like to see updated based on a change in the search query or a facet value, for example.

> - the queries it constructs are a bit convoluted and under-use such features as filters ..

We would be happy to address specific scenarios if you're seeing, please raise an issue. That said, I believe we already do this to the extent it's generalizable. And since as a user, you can change the underlying query - it should be addressable by users.

---

To sum up, the DOS and querying part is completely configurable and just comes down to usage. We would love to address any generalizable issues.

There are merits to your point about client-side query generation. They are already addressed for users who are using:
1. Appbase.io - as you can set ACLs and rules (e.g. only allow search requests, max X requests per IP per hour, set max size of Y),
2. For users outside of appbase.io, we recommend using a proxy server like you did to implement an authorization logic.

Once we have first-class support for search templates in ReactiveSearch, this should be effectively addressed.
BTW, I generally agree about extra indentation and braces for these kind of statements.

The code is a bit terse due to a mechanical issue - my current laptop screen only gives me about 25 lines vertically.
Their apis only support declarative static blocking lists. No heuristics, right click to block, IAB ad size detection, etc. Similar to what chrome plans to do with manifest v3.

Advertisers are already figuring out how to get around that. CNAME cloacking, proxying with same domain, etc.

mark-r, when somebody uses the term "impossible" - generally it may mean 2 things: a) it's truly impossible b) It's very unlikely but still possible.

You settled for a). Typically of what geeks do ( yeah, I'm guilty of it too).

Anyway. you seem to be an outlier to being able to solve the problem without having being familiar with it before hand. Do you realize you are extraordinary?

It would be interesting to have math historian compare this with other derivations of quadratic roots to assess its originality.

My favourite bit of knowledge about quadratic equations is that its roots can always be visualised as the intersection between a simple parabola (x^2) and a straight line (m*x + c).

In fact, the above is why imaginary numbers did not arise from needing to solve quadratic equations. Because in the case of complex roots, the line and the parabola simply do not interesect. So it was originally thought that there was no worthwhile solution anyway. The real 'need' for complex numbers arose from solving cubic equations. [1]

awesome! never thought auto scaling can be this easy
This is bizarre. It’s no less a mathematical trick than completing the square, and it doesn’t seem to be any simpler to use.

The example given is to find the roots of x² - 2x + 4 = 0.

Completing the square gives (x - 1)² + 3 = 0, from which you can immediately see that the roots are 1 ± √3 i. If anything this seems easier than the method of the article.

Am I missing something?

Added: The argument seems to be that young students will find this method easier to understand than completing the square. I have no experience of teaching mathematics to children, so this may be true for all I know. It would be interesting to test this hypothesis experimentally, because I don’t think it’s obviously true.
Isn't 'pointing at' little nebulous. I may have setup my camera to point at my backyard, but some portion of neighbor's yard may showup in the corner. If I adjust the camera to eliminate this neighbor's yard then the other one's creeps into the view from other side.

For the both the situation my camera is squarely 'pointed at' the center of my backyard.
If you want to just have a piece of official documentation, why not. And if you know Putin and Xi personally maybe you even have a chance to get the DDOSer.
It will depend. One of the most valuable diagnostic tools, as border staff will tell you, is to just go be interested in people. So maybe a BTP Officer (British Transport Police) will go ask them why they're taking photos of CCTV Cameras in a railway station or other critical infrastructure.

As constables they're entitled to ask who you are, and what you're up to. They can write it up and it goes into the enormous pile of puzzle pieces for intelligence analysis.

"Taking photos of cameras at major train station" + "Purchased a truck full of fertilizer" + "Attended talk by nutjob entitled 'War to save the white race'" is three completely legal things that add up to let's authorize detailed surveillance because this is a possible terrorist.

Whereas "Taking photos of cameras at major train station" + "Attended Extinction Rebellion March holding banners that said Eat The Rich" + "Wrote angry letter to local politician saying that they'd be judged in their next life for refusing permission for a new vegan bakery" is three other legal things that add up to this is probably just a hippy and we should keep paying attention but there's no immediate threat.
"Sorted" is a word used here to mean that a task has been completed.
e.g. "Did you get that thing sorted yet?" "yeah, I sorted it out last week."
It can apply to basically anything.
You might also simply say "Sorted." as you finish doing whatever it is you're doing, to announce that you are finished. Similar to just saying "Done." or "Finished." in this respect, possibly with the added implication that there was a problem that has now been solved.

I don't believe it's a felony or misdemeanor crime, but it could be copyright or trademark infringement if you use a safety approval logo on your product without paying and certifying your product with the agency who owns the logo. A company like UL could sue an infringer for using the UL marks on products which UL has not certified, but I think that's about it.

If you claim your device complies with regulations set forth by government agencies such as the FCC or OSHA when it does not, then I think the criminal or other special courts may get involved as it may no longer be just a civil matter. Although FCC violation investigation usually just involve recalling product and paying a "voluntary" fine (it's voluntary, unless you decide not to volunteer, and then it's no longer voluntary).

>> to make the quadratic equations easy

They mean: to make the quadratic equation easy to remember.

However, I don't think this will have any impact on the average high school student.

The key is:

>> Loh points out that the two roots, R and S, add up to -B when their average is -B/2.

>> “So we seek two numbers of the form -B/2±z, where z is a single unknown quantity,” he says. We can then multiply these numbers together to get an expression for C.

But you still have to derive the formula and their first example assumes A is fixed.

Ask HN: Advice for VC Meeting
Currently raising funding to develop an open protocol to build atop Chrome, basically building rich plugins that can do things that aren't normally possible with DevTools or Chrome Extensions API. Instead of factoring out layers of this and pre-maturely working out how to turn these layers into businesses to self-fund, I want to focus on making the protocol as good as possible, so other people can build on this.
I want to double down on the good will I've already got on GitHub (> 500 stars) and making something that's really useful. I don't have a plan to make money, but I think the way to do it eventually could be to offer value added services atop the OSS projects (such as managed hosting for secure remote browsers, or plugins that do things like record and playback bug reports, or any arbitrary automation, to name some ideas I'm currently implementing).

I have pretty low confidence because I applied to YC with a few different ideas over the years and was always rejected, never got past the rejection email template. So I sort of doubt that I'm able to build anything people want. But I know I can build and code things, and I believe in what I'm doing.

I can't believe I finally got a meeting with a super A++ VC and I'm very nervous I'll ruin this chance. So I want to hear from people who can relate to how I feel and who have been through VC meetings and come out successful to share what they think I should do.

Unfortunately I think this greatly underestimates the qualitative difference of the fundamental nature of the phenomenon of consciousness to anything we have modeled or built before.

Sure, we can and will build conscious machines (I believe), but we will do that modelling cognition - and yes, we will develop a better understanding of that.

But consciousness is very different and will come with the territory unbidden, and unexplained.
Is a federated system like Mastodon not setup in a way that users have access lists and if one server is down they simply connect to the next? I would expect to just limit the access to my server in a way that no illegal content is added to its storage and I don't have to pay horrendous fees for the network traffic and then just let the DDOS happen. At some point it needs to stop since the DDOSer will find nicer targets and the source of your problem will not have enough funds left. And then your service simply continues.

That's at least how I think a federated system should work. Not sure if reality matches that.

I don't know how much funding does in batteries that are designed to be stationery. I.e. where weight does not matter, where they can be bulky and potentially run hot.

There are technologies that are irrelevant for cars or phone (which I do think attract most of the battery R&D) that would be a good fit for a battery the size of a building, designed to store the electricity for a whole city during the night/low wind period.

Government can fund the private R&D easily by, for instance, mandate that renewable sources installed on the grid must provide a baseline 24/24.

But public research is nothing to sneeze at. It brought us the lithium-ion battery (Goodenough was working at the U of Texas when inventing it). Private R&D is good at incremental improvements and solving deployment problems. Public research at funding radically new tech. They work well together.
You can point to a protein being expressed by DNA, and then understand how many protein molecules amount to cells, then tissues, then organs. There is a first principle guiding you all the way, even though the complexity is staggering.

There is no such first principle with interactions of neurons, in the sense that we know of no quality or property of a neuron that could amount to the phenomena "consciousness", in the same way that individual transactions amount to a stock market.

Without this first principle, it's just magical thinking disguised in scientific language.
This seems like as good opportunity as any other to remind that the previously published study that those gene-edited babies will have shorter life expectancy, that was used to bash He Jiankui previously was retracted [0]. It almost looks like some scientists are envious of him and scramble to find something to use against him. There are risks to many medical procedures and only time will show if these are more or less serious.

That said, I don't think that attempting to grant immunity to disease you might never encounter and is possible to be well treated (if not cured) nowadays was a right reason for first human gene edit. If it fixed a single gene disorder which would allow some parents to have their own healthy biological child, it would be certainly more palatable.

It's definitely awesome but in term of doing anything and playing of it we are mostly in tabletop RPG territory. Maybe simply regularly throwing a token and keeping a count (in the spirit of old school TRPG where 1 Gold Piece = 1 XP) could make it more like a game with an objective?

Technically yes, but... In front of several german courts simple web blogs and other (definitely) non-commercial projects have lost their cases against "competitors" (usually trigger happy shyster lawyers that see a quick way to make easy money). The wording of the law states that every publication platfrom that operates "Geschäftsmäßig" (like a business) is liable to have an imprint. The courts have defined the word "Geschäftsmäßig" as meaning regularly -- so it is only important how regularly you post, not if you make money with it or not.
