If connection between two nodes in the network is possible to establish, tracking it down is possible as well - giving the willing intermediaries. The fines or tariffs structure may help ensure they will be willing.

It is the same problem as with finance transactions wrt money laundering really, which is a solved problem. The only cover bad actors have is finding a sovereign state willing to cooperate.
lots of small instances.

If you only have few dozen to few hundred users (think a few families, or maybe a small to medium corp) it not that hard to moderate. Hell even few thousand is manageable.

Plus if one instance is constant problem you can just block it.
I genuinely didn’t know either way though I hadn’t ever heard of it being open source so I admit to assuming a little pessimism, for sure.

Thanks for the links. It will be a very interesting project to build my own Signal.app!
After 15 years, patents, open source, and repeats successes it hasn't gotten better. I got into this because I loved it so much... I feel asked to be a hyper energetic, extroverted ego case and really I just want to be humble and quietly write some code I can feel proud of that does something useful with some kind people.
All this discussion is spot on. The problem is all these startups now think they are FAANG companies also. You're not Google dude and you're probabaly passing on great hires and making the hiring process harder on everyone.

We recently did a bunch of hiring. Our coding excersize was practical and involved working through some existing code that had a bug and extending it. They had to be able to state the problem back to us clearly. It was take home solutions submitted to git. It was simple to weed through candidates looking at the code for 30 secs. We looked for things like clean code and well thought out solutions. We didn't do the silly BigO optimization stuff that every company is obsessed with. We've been very happy with our hires.
I found some simple rules for single caller functions:

1. Use them if they take <5 parametets - no point making a function if you need to pass all the local context into it

2. Use them iff they return something that can be clearly named and have an explainable and understandable TYPE, even in dynamic langs where you don't explictly type things - if you'd end up returning a tuple of 3 arbitrary things that can't be "named as one single concept" it's a code smell

3. Kepp those functions local, maybe define them inside the calling function, at least private if they're methods, anything - if your single caller function becomes unwillingly part of an api, which can esily happen in Python with a _funk() method that users could ignore it's private, you've lost

I strongly agree with this. But there is a response to everything and companies don't operate in a vacuum. I'm not suggesting that SCION is our version of "let's build a wall and make Americans pay for it".

Apart from protecting regional interests (which is just 1), SCION has too many advantages that let operators/carriers monetize on, to be ignored.

I’m a senior engineer with 20 years experience, I just delivered kubernetes into production at a Fortune 500 company. We wrote our own provisioner in go and our own controllers and built a system to manage add-ons. I know pretty much everything about running a cluster and have knowledge of most of the popular tools you’d install on a cluster.

I applied for a job at a Silicon Valley company to work on their kubernetes team. They talked to me for five minutes about anything related to my current job and spent 2 hours asking me to solve algo questions from cracking the coding interview. The experience was so bad that I basically am refusing to do any more interviews that require coding.

> Actually, currently no country has capacity to test everyone on a typical cruise ship.

According to their official announcement last week [1], South Korean government is currently able to test 3,000 persons per day and will be able to test up to 10,000 per day by the end of February. Even after accounting for false positives this would be enough to test everyone on a cruise ship.

I read the README and I get the basics of the idea, but it might help if you could provide more examples in the README - for example video that shows how you improved the file structure, explains how does your formatter decide how to transform files into fractal structure?
Just learn Akka, it's the most complete Actor framework out there.
It also screens out older people with children who just don’t have the time.
Signal doesn't have deletion. I just tried. All it seems to have is delete on my device and set timeout on all messages.

Messenger only got delete last year.

Neither have editing.

If ~all messaging apps sans IRC and SMS have message deletion why does Signal not have it?

It's like IT people live in a bubble. Why on earth would you not allow users to edit a sent message. It's like they believe some indoctrinated idea where a sent message is untouchable not matter what users want or some cargo cult ideas about IT security.

Slack gave users what they wanted, not what IT nerds wanted them to want. How in the 21st century can we not be able to edit sent messages? Are we connected or not?
As someone who works in healthcare, I don't disagree with the entire sentiment here, with the exception of screening. In my opinion, it would be simpler and more cost effective to monitor cancerous and precancerous indicators rather than immediately go for surgery/treatment. Most people probably freak out if you tell them they have a golf ball sized growth on their kidney though.
I’m with you 100%, but I suspect that we’re a minority. For me, linearity of code is directly proportional to legibility of code. It’s not clear to me whether or not this is universally true, or whether this is an individual preference.

I wasn't aware of the service draftss but it seems like I can outsource the branding, which I really need help with.

With regards to marketing, it really may be best to out source once I get the landing page in order per @photon_off comments.

How do you find content to watch on PeerTube? I have my own Mastodon instance running where I can subscribe from to PeerTube chanels so they show up when they upload something but I have no idea how and where to find content.
SpeechRecognition worked great for me on Chrome for years until Google probably banned me for sending so many request. It would be cool with a completely offline SpeechRecognition... The trick with SpeechRecognition is to use grammars; if there are only a few words to choose from, it will more likely get it correct vs a random sentence.
TLDR: Looks cool, are other databases on the roadmap?

Looks neat, I’d be quite interested in trying it, especial since I’ve got libraries of react components available to use to make up for current limitations, but other databases are a mandatory feature for me. With things like severless aurora on AWS giving me a DB with next to zero hassle from $1, I’m not interested in mucking with MongoDB.

I use MongoDB for my day job, I know what I’m doing, and nothing about it makes me want to run it for my own personal learning/prototyping, MongoDB just has too steep of a step function from “toy” to “production ready” for me. It’s become a decent enough Database with recent releases but it’s still just more work to run it for my own “non-work” use than I want to do in order to try anything.

I think the only thing I’ve tolerated it for in my home lab is GrayLog2, and that wasn’t so bad since they shipped an appliance with it all done for me.
Useful! I am not looking for a job, but on the other hand I like being updated on what is out there (with respect to my interests). Which means I will not go through the jobs now, but if I could define my filter/interests and then subscribe to get an email with job roles that are best fit, every week or 2 weeks or month, that would be interesting.
That's not how I read it, although to be fair, it's not written clearly. This is the full quote from the article:

But one study found that 72 new anticancer drugs approved by the FDA between 2004 and 2014 prolonged survival for an average of 2.1 months. A 2017 report concluded that “most cancer drug approvals have not been shown to, or do not, improve clinically relevant end points,” including survival and quality of life. The authors worried that “the FDA may be approving many costly, toxic drugs that do not improve overall survival.”

Therefore, the implication is that drugs which prolonged survival by an average of 2.1 months (which was the FDA's track record for approvals between '04 and '14) are not sufficiently "clinically relevant" to justify approval (presumably the 2017 report quoted from includes these drugs).

Therefore the question remains: if small but incremental improvements (av 2.1m) aren't sufficient to warrant approval, what level of improvement would be sufficient? And who are the right people to draw this rather important line in the sand?
one niche where i'd argue it's not only valuable but also period correct is restoring and modifying vintage electronics. Frequently they are single sided through hole boards that were not born from a CAD program, and are not available for purchase. You can certainly make the new board with CAD and a fab house, but for things like vintage synthesizers a hand etched board may actually be more appropriate and original.

Also the importance of latency in some cases is significant. When the goal is to iterate a board quickly several times and a diy board is good enough, being able to have a board in an hour or less could mean multiple board iterations in one day where sending out to fab might draw out each board iteration to a week long wait.
It will start making sense when Google stops shelling out a comparatively-high level of free credits for every new deal. They’re subsidizing their own users to game market share numbers, and at some point the funding to do this will have slow (unless they find out that it actually converts evals to year over year clients).
Hah, also thought it is Big Oof!
Thanks for the clarity. Very true. Ive been getting good feedback on HN and reddit, but as you state its not feedback from the apps target audience. I am going to iterate on the feedback provided by others and see how the results pan out.
> As such, there should be the opportunity to inject a role player that understands what it means to retry.

In each of the 10 scrapers?

If it's common code for the retry, now all my login code needs to raise the same type of exception or otherwise signal in the same way that the login has failed. Except instead of the abstracted retry code needing to work with one login function it needs to work with ten independently maintained functions that happen to be the same currently.
Now I don't know if you are just trolling or technically clueless. You are criticizing the implementation of a application protocol and one the same breath you affirm that "the way to solve it" is by using a completely decentralized system?

ActivityPub itself is not tied to Mastodon or any federated protocol, all it is concerned about is format of messages and some authentication mechanisms.

Have you really thought this through?
Most unsollicited phone calls I receive are not from another country.

>>The US hasn't even stabilised its environment, healthcare and any number of other important areas of basic human needs. Money for finding extra-terrestrial life would be better spent on earth fixing the mess.

USA spends more on healthcare than (prob) anyone else. Basic needs will never be solved, as the yardstick will also move.

>>Money for finding extra-terrestrial life would be better spent on earth fixing the mess.

Let's say that USA decides to spend $100-$500 Million a year on extra-terrestrial stuff...that's a rounding error in a $4.746 trillion budget.
This is stupidingly hard and test for the wrong thing but how this is dystopian?
The Fediverse is federated on exactly the same layer as email. You have a username of the form user@domain,this is the same in both Mastodon and email.

You can send messages to anyone regardless of the instance they're on. This is also exactly the same on both Mastodon and email.

Precisely how are these different in any relevant way?

Where I live, our local electricity distributor (Orion, Christchurch NZ) controls hot water heating using a short pulse-train signal transmitted over power lines. At home, a relay device colocated with our electricity meter picks up the signal, and energizes our hot water cylinder's circuit at 9pm, when our night-rate tariff kicks in. Another pulse is sent at 7am instructing the cylinder's circuit to turn off. The distributor also shuts off the hot water for one hour during the night, spreading this out over ten or so load blocks in their network. Not only does this result in load shifted to night when it is cheaper, it also means the load profile across the whole South Island is beautifully flat. This technology is comparatively ancient, and we call it simply "ripple control".
My wife and I shower at night and we find we have all the hot water we could possibly need.
thanks for more questions. We will soon add these questions in List.
Two questions.

How long do you think it would’ve taken you to prepare and ace these kinds of coding interview questions? (I bet less than 100 hours.)

But I’m more interested in the following: what interview process do you think would have correctly (and reliably) evaluated someone with your profile?

Even edgier opinion: The long term benefits to the entire planet of having a virus that kills most people worldwide are substantial.

The elites who can afford to live comfortably in quarantined bunkers for years will be the only ones left, and they'll remake the world in their image without having to worry about the riff raff.

Solitary corporate overlords with armies of AI drones controlled from a StarCraft-like console, to keep the slaves in line until they finish building their personal pyramid spaceships.
Likely the Japanese response is not cautious enough. The virus seems to spread fast. However, its lethalness is likely overrated.
Living 2.1m longer may not be seen as an advantage if those two months are spent in severe pain trapped in a hospital bed suffering from a wide range of serious side effects.

We need to talk about death and we need to talk about what people want when they die. A few people do want to struggle and gain every extra day they can no matter how painful that's going to be for them, but that's not what most people want.
Ok so I’m calling bluff on the trillion dollar deficits hyperbole. This is a cudgel argument used without any deep exposition against $subjectiveBadIdea.

We live in a financial world where banks magic up funds all the time and nobody bats an eye, but governments can’t do it for projects?

Further, imagine trying to calculate the added GDP for all of a nations infrastructure over the years its existed and been in use for free or near free. Yes, there are taxes levied in fuel transactions, but clearly that’s not the entire value added.

Edit-Deficit hawks are really arguing against deficits in the secret search for forcing the economy to be zero-sum and punitive. Governments job is to create and reinforce property rights, amongst other things. They do that by creating a resource allocation system - thankfully capitalistic for the most part. Capitalism only exists at this scale with currency - that only the government authenticates. Etc etc. The governments debt is a reflection and indicator of the value its left in the market. Back to nap time.
Hi there. The image named 'Asymmetric Key encryption' seems wrong. You may want to fix it.

For context, Google Play made recent changes to the review process for Android Apps in 2019 and its almost equivalent to Apple's app review process. 'Device Automation' and app reviews are now apparently done by humans, it takes several days for your app to pass review and app developers will have to update their supported APIs levels in order to push an update.

I have not imagined that these changes could affect a well known Android app like Tasker, but if this is where the app ecosystem is going for developers then its survival of the fittest and the persistent.
I can second that. While more people are wearing masks than usual and Chinese tourists have nearly disappeared, things seem otherwise unchanged. I'm sitting in a cafe a few steps from the Hachiko Crossing in Shibuya right now—half past eight on Saturday evening—and it's full of cheerful, chatting people. But I'm sure most people are concerned about how things might play out in the days and weeks ahead.

Edit: Sunday --> Saturday
> No one's guaranteed to make money on every asset.

There's a difference between "I have lost money on this thing" and "I owe more because I sold this thing".

By a house (debt-free) for $100, and, say, tax of $1. Something happens for a decade, so it's worth $1000, tax of $10 per year for 10 years; $90 is deferred. Later, thing un-happens and more, now house is worth $60, with $90 in deferred tax, so if you sell it... you end up owing $30, for a net loss of $70, instead of the $50 in loss on the asset?

...or is there something I'm getting really, really wrong?

Seems simpler (and safer) to say property tax doesn't change (instead of accumulating interest-free debt), and profit from selling is capital gains, but I know jack shit about this stuff and am willing to be wrong.
Auto-enrolling in pension schemes eh? You start taking money from people without their consent, and its "for their own good". Don't reconsider the name of your app, reconsider your own morality.

Unless there is some kind of limitation for the 1 year free AppleTV+ offer (when buying a new device) it is a terrible service and not even a competitor to Netflix.

For comparison a small market (<2mil people) local streaming service offers the same movie for rent for 1.90EUR.

It’s not clear the force size you suggest would result in a stable equilibrium. You’re missing one key justification: the ability to dissuade future military competition. A defense force the size of Spain’s would face substantially more threats given the value of US targets and interests, so we’d then need to increase spending. It’s hard to predict what that world would look like. In the past it wasn’t great. Outspending everybody else from the get-go works.

No interview process is invulnerable to bad faith interviewers. Refusing to help you past roadblocks just makes for a worse interview signal. Maybe the candidate doesn’t know X but has extraordinary depth on Y, and so on. Bad interview training or negligence!
While i agree that shooting down any research with "think about poverty" is a bad argument, I think there are still much more important ways to spend money than this: anti-aging drugs developed by sens.org, gene drive to kill mosquitos, any technologies to build colony on mars etc
.
This is why it is important to have many people deciding for themselves on what to spend their money. If there are enough people who are interested in finding aliens they can redirect their part of GDP, but there should be a way for others to not be forced to spend their tax money on it.

Agree, in a privatised healthcare system the fee-for-service problem will indeed prevent basic needs from ever being met.
Ive seen medical attempt to sell me extra services within their hospital network with my kid. 2000$ to fix Tongue Tie with surgery. Laser procedure is 600$ and done at a dentist.

The ($200-300k/yr) physician said there was data surgery is better. So I looked it up, no data, and surgeons started using laser because it heals better. Upon confronting she said- if you ask a physician they will recommend a physician. (So factionalism?)

Why is this nonscience acceptable in medical?

On a different note, hospitals somehow get patients for non hospital needs.(disclaimer my wife owns her own practice and competes) For instance if you go to a hospital for physical therapy, you will likely have 1 Dr for at least 2 patients. You get 37 minutes of treatment because they can legally bill for 1 hour. At my wife's clinic, she treats 1 on 1, and sometimes sessions go over 1 hour.

There are no advantages of a hospital for this care.

I'm not sure if overregulation or lack of patient information is to blame. I'm horrified at the thought of being sick and dealing with our medical cartels.
