Use the EWG zip code search to find your water utility [1]. That shows which chemicals or toxins were found when testing your tap water, and scrolling down you see which filter system can remove those chemicals.

For ex: San Francisco's City Water has Chromium (hexavalent) at 0.0906 ppb, and Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) at 38.9 ppb [2]. The "Water Filters That Can Reduce Contaminant Levels" table says Activated Carbon and Ion Exchange filtration can't remove those particles, but Reverse Osmosis can.

PTFE coated pans definitely reach above 500F from time to time.

People who own birds are suggested to not use PTFE coated pans. Birds are much more sensitive to the offgased chemicals and there are numerous instances of people accidentally killing pet birds from these fumes, so it definitely happens.
It would be interesting to take a step back and consider what man pages actually are. Are they documentation structured in a specific way, dating back to Unix origins, or are they what the user sees if they type "man command" on the command line? Because if we consider the latter, I think it will be much easier to see radical improvement of the "man experience"

If I type "man ps" I see

Man: find all matching manual pages (set MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT to avoid this)
* ps (1)
ps (1p)
Man: What manual page do you want?

What if I instead saw

Man: find all matching manual pages (set MAN_POSIXLY_CORRECT to avoid this)
* ps (1)
ps (1.tldr)
ps (1p)
Man: What manual page do you want?

where the man command retrieved that information from the TLDR-pages site?

In the last years we have seen many innovative Rust re-implementations of classical commands such as cat, find, grep. Maybe the man command is next up?

This seems like it will just start a cat-and-mouse game with Google releasing Chrome updates to break their extension, like Firefox's "extensions.installDistroAddons" toggle.

Also I assume "Version 2002" means "2020, February", but that seems unnecessarily confusing in a way the Windows 10 "20H1"-style versioning isn't. Doubly so considering Office XP was co-branded "Version 2002" eighteen years ago! https://i.imgur.com/4814T6a.jpg

The thread I replied to referenced American housing so I chose that perspective both in terms of location and financial status.

> there's better ways to get internet besides orbiting routers

Carriers refuse to put up towers in low populated areas that won't make money.

Utility companies and ISPs will not run fiber for the same reasons.

Current satellite providers only offer geo-sat orbit and only have a couple satellites. This adds up to terrible latency and god awful bandwidth limits.

Starlink on the other hand has a potential to be faster than fiber in some scenarios.

Haven't heard from Loon. Facebook gave up. What's the way you suggest? Honestly satellites sound the most practical of those lol.
Tesla has a much greater chance of collapsing. Their operating and net incomes are negative. Meanwhile Ford is rolling in money.
The last great version of IE that I personally used was IE 5.1 for Mac OS 9. It was - at the time - my preferred browser on the platform and really shone brightly.

As a web designer, IE - since 6 - has been the bane of my existence. It's not nearly as bad as it used to be, but it's there.
Getting a standard Nginx error "502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.10.3 (Ubuntu)". Are they slashdotted[1]?

What kind of bloat do you have with your nodejs app?

My nodejs app (not react) restarts in about 3 seconds, which is still hugely annoying as I can hit reload after alt-tab in a second and I have to wait a few seconds or else I get "Bad Gateway" errors.

It's monitored by pm2 for auto restarting ts-node.

I wish there's a better solution that reloads faster than you can alt-tab and reload.
It would be accurate in this case!
I used to work on spam fighting.

This sort of solution is frequently proposed but doesn't work, because:

• Serving costs are rarely the problem. Normally it's annoying actions taken by spammers and the bad reaction of valuable users that matters, not the machine cost of serving them.

There are occasional exceptions. Web search engines ban bots because left unchecked they can consume vast CPU resources but never click ads. However, they only get so much bot traffic because of SEO scraping. Most sites don't have an equivalent problem.

• There is no payment system that can do what you want. All attempts at creating one have failed for various hard reasons.

• You would lose all your users. From a user's perspective I want to access free content. I don't want to make micropayments for it, I especially don't want surge pricing that appears unrelated to content. Sites that use more typical spam fighting techniques to fend off DDoS attacks or useless bot traffic can vend their content to human users for free, well enough that only Linux users doing weird stuff get excluded (hint: this is a tiny sliver of traffic, not even a percentage of traffic but more like an occasional nuisance).

• You would kill off search engine competition. Because you benefit from crawlers, you'd zero rate "good" web bots using some whitelist. Now to make a new search engine I have to pay vast sums in bot fees whilst my rich competitors pay nothing. This makes an already difficult task financially insurmountable.

The current approach of using lots of heuristics, JavaScript probes and various other undocumented/obscure tricks works well. Cases like this one are rare, caused by users doing weird stuff like committing protocol violations and such users can typically escalate and get attention from the right operators quickly. There are few reasons to create a vast new infrastructure.
TownChat: Now is time to give users right to protect their identity
As per research almost 60% of social media complaints are about harassment of females. We are solving this issue through TownChat. TownChat protects the identity and privacy of its users by providing users the option to keep their profile totally private. All private profiles will not appear in any search except search on the basis of TownChat ID.
Sign up is through selfie and sign in through facial recognition. Users will be able to create only 1 profile per user which means no fake accounts will be allowed on TownChat. Our AI based crawler will verify celebrity profiles right at the time of signup.
Users can search for local and nearby users and can follow them and upon following back they can start conversation with each other.
We are done with our MVP and looking for feedback.

The Solomon curve describes the relationship between how likely one is to be involved in a vehicular accident based on their speed compared to the average speed of the road.

The author doesn't seem to take this into account. It appears she is attempting to drive slower to protect those using roadways in other means such as biking, which would benefit from added infrastructure such as bicycle paths.

An idea for someone looking for a fun "Show HN" project: build a scoreboard that searches all of the known data breaches for this year and tells me where I rank for how many breaches I've been in (eg: I'm 89/132 on breaches of 50,000 records or more).

Over 8.5BB customer records were exposed last year; the estimate for this year is in excess of 10BB.
I don't work on it directly, but the code base where I work has lots of Fortran. I'm pretty sure they've been trying to migrate away from it since the early 90s, yet it's still there. Fortran has an amazing amount of staying power.
Many analysts have run the numbers. ARK Invest is an example of one bullish fund with open numbers - typically bears anticipate only ice auto revenue and margins and thus compare to Toyota say as you have, and bulls anticipate Tesla dominating multiple markets (EV, Domestic energy, RoboTaxis), and bringing battery costs down.

Forecasting single stocks 5-10 years out is notoriously difficult though, so the range of opinions is not surprising.

Tell me how to do that with nodejs.
It still takes almost 3 seconds to restart which makes me wait a second or 2 before I can reload.

pm2 with ts-node is the best I can achieve so far but not fast enough not to hold for a second.

As a renter, you may not pay directly for property tax and repairs, but they do come out of your rent

Yes, but what the landlord is paying may be very different from what you'd be paying if you bought.

For example, I know a landlord charging $3,000 per month for a place that would rent for $5,000 (rent control) or have carrying costs of $6,000 if purchased today.

He does just fine since he bought 15 years ago, so his mortgage is $1,500 and his property taxes don't go up more than 1% per year.

So yes, rent must cover the cost of ownership, but not the cost of ownership today.
That does make a lot of sense. I suppose the barrier to entry is a lot lower with Discord.

I have done this once before too, with a particularly hairy multi-page function from a legacy system. Spreading all the pages over a large meeting room desk allows you to view the whole code at once, instead of being constrained by the physical size of a computer monitor. And there's something hard to describe about being able to physically manipulate the code (rearranging the sheets of paper, scribbling over the code with a pencil, etc). I hope VR one day allows for that kind of experience without wasting lots of paper.

It says, no civilians shall leave Wuhan except for a special reason.

And all buses, metro, airports, stations and remote transportations are closed for now.
I opened it and instantly thought — "Ohhhh, you got me!"
OP here: I love the bus! I take it all the time in Los Angeles, where I currently live without a car.

I imagine this could be a fantastic complement — not replacement — to a bus, specifically for low ridership areas, last-mile connections, and lower-frequency routes, so busses could focus on what they’re best at: high frequency arterials with dedicated ROW carrying many passengers at once.
Do the founders still retain majority votes?
+1 ... we should be working on improving "the actual" man pages. There is an "Examples" section in OpenBSD man pages that help out quite a bit. I'd rather have one definitive place for man pages (rather than many), and I'd rather have them be accessible from the OS (and not require an internet connection).
Well people here really love to talk about how great it is to start business, so why don't they start ethical businesses? Be the change you want to see in the world?

My guess would be because it isn't actually very profitable, and even if they start out with the best of intentions they allow themselves to be acquired and trade ethics for money anyway.

Maybe I'm just really cynical about people in tech, but I feel like all this talk about ethics only happens when you're on the wrong side of it and most people here would be plenty willing to sell out if given half a chance.

Google finds security flaws in Apple's web browser
How to make sure a restored Notre-Dame Cathedral gets the acoustics right
The more complex a tool, the less likely a man page is going to be a good way to distill and impart the information of how to use it. Bash's mane page is so large I can almost never find what I'm looking for.

At the same time, that means a TL;DR type page is also likely to be useless. For the vast majority of software run from a shell, a man page is sufficient, and examples can be (and often are) added to good effect.

I will note that some projects split very large man pages into sub-pages, and that can work well. For example, ip, and much of the man pages on BSDs that explain how different technologies are implemented (for example, follow the references in the man page for ifconfig on OpenBSD).

Attempting to change things while praiseworthy may end up do more harm than good. At the best, if it doesn't end up changing the status quo, you just wasted energy, and bothered other people. But much more likely seems to me that we are trading some pros/cons for others, it's not a strict improvement or even an overall improvement.

I'm not sure what the alternative is. Without some form of surveillance, you're never going to catch terrorists or other bad actors. You do, however, need to make sure there are strong checks and balances in place to ensure that people don't use it for nefarious purposes or for personal gain.

About EO 12333:

> They stipulate that any evidence of an American committing a crime that is found incidentally in the course of foreign intelligence operations must be shared with the Justice Department. Furthermore, they permit analysts to use metadata (logs revealing who contacted whom and when they did so) to investigate unknown associates of targeted suspects.

And I thought FISA section 702 was bad. I don't think long-time surveillance laws fighter Senator Ron Wyden has ever mentioned in public that EO 12333 was also capable of backdoor searches on Americans, just that FISA 702 would enable that. But it sounds to me like both of them enable backdoor searches on Americans and fishing expeditions.

Seriously, how is the NSA dragnet finding crimes Americans are committing and then alerting law enforcement about it not a fishing expedition? Isn't that supposed to be unconstitutional?

In my experience good first issues are mostly hidden. Most of the time, big projects with large communities use that label in issues and at least for me the issues are almost never good first issue.

Projects with at most one or two regular contributors often are easier to get into. They are relatively smaller and there is a higher chance that the open issue is simple but no one had time. But the label is not used in those issues.

I have several contributions that are only 1-5 lines to projects with more than 10K stars. Issues were definitely good first issues but no one had time to work on them, let alone labelling them.
> PHP nowadays has almost all the syntactical candy of Ruby

Umm, no?
Ruby's syntax is far better. No war against where opening brackets go, no semi colons (which is quite important for typing less after auto completion) and apparently you don't surround with multiple functions to chain which would make the code totally unreadable on PHP with random prefix/suffix/underscore separated function names.
Looks like they don’t use TLS at all by default, just MTProto on port 443 or MTProto over HTTP. Comms to the telegram servers are always encrypted with MTProto, but tunneling MTProto over TLS would make any attacks on MTProto much harder (perhaps impossible) to execute.

I thought they used TLS wrapping in some markets for censorship resistance, but apparently that is not the case unless you set up your own proxy.

Microsoft ordered to turn over records for historic IRS audit
Agreed. If they're that concerned about their corporate image, then they should lend him a corporate vehicle.
GM is a recent bankrupt and Ford isn’t doing much better, so they are not a good comparison. 100b is half of Toyota’s market cap, so it is anticipating massive success, a little high for Tesla right now, but not a bubble valuation yet IMO.

The Uber market cap is explained by a bet on worldwide autonomous taxis, though I think Tesla is better placed to take that market, again it anticipates future success.
It is more nuanced than that. In a simple system this may be better than nothing, but consider what happens when the key that was used to sign that update has been compromised.

Or, consider how an update with multiple payloads could be delivered, if each payload comes from a different vendor.

Or, consider how a device can trust that an update has been signed by both someone authorized to make a release, and by someone who actually wrote the code in the release.
Yes... I mention this because it's the only reason Microsoft's tax dodge works, since as Joe mentions, PR is part of the US.
