> You're not generally limited by the supply of hotels

A strong strategy in Monopoly is leveraging the fact that houses and hotels _are_ in limited supply. There are only 32 houses available and you can't build a hotel unless you have 4 houses on each property in a set. If you end up with 3 monopolies with 4 houses on each property the game is pretty much over because nobody else is able to invest in anything.
You are correct. In AWS, there is a default one provided for you.

The main benefit of creating your own is that you can define your base CIDR block to be something that makes more sense to you. With subnets separated out by use cases, in a more logical and memorable way.

As an example:

A root CIDR block of 10.0.0.0/16 will give you ~65536 usable addresses - more than enough for many projects.

You can create a "public" subnet (10.0.1.0/24 - ~256 addresses available) and route all traffic in this subnet directly to an internet gateway. Things you want to put in here include load balancers, and your NAT gateway (which will be used by private subnets).

Then create a "private" subnet (10.0.2.0/24) and route all traffic in this subnet to your NAT gateway (which lives in the public subnet). Resources in this subnet will have all internet traffic routed through the NAT gateway, preventing direct access from the internet, just like your home router is a buffer for your PC.

You can get creative here. Adding a subnet 10.0.16.0/20 will give you ~4096 addresses, which is useful for lambdas that need to scale horizontally (each one consumes a private IP address). Also, if your lambdas need internet access, to call an API for example, you must route traffic through a NAT gateway.

It may seem like a lot to setup, but once you have it up and running, you save yourself a lot of headache in the long run. You can quickly identify network configuration errors by knowing the local IP of a resource. "Why can't I ssh directly into my EC2 instance? Oh, because it's IP is 10.0.2.45, meaning it's in a my private subnet)"

I'm all for protecting oneself in the framework of anarcho-capitalism, as it the default state of nature. But most people agree it is the government's place to prevent aggression between members of society. And pervasive surveillance is aggression.

Suggestions of individual actions are worthwhile, and it behooves everyone to take all of the personal steps they can to protect themselves. But the existence of individual actions culminating in a hypothetical path to opting out does not justify harm being done when people fail to live up to them.

In that negative viewpoint it's still science, just another branch: Philosophy (Metaphysics) and still Mathematics of course ;-)

No expert in String Theory, but the bottom line is that the strings are really small. (~ Planck Length) So directly measuring anything is not going to work.

>> It depends on if you are offering a service that is valued by the marketplace

And who decides what is valued by the marketplace?

It's:

- Politicians through regulation.

- The Federal Reserve Bank by continuously creating new money out of thin air.

- Banks by deciding who can get the newly printed Fed money through loans and who can't (typically based on the value of assets which individuals already have; the result is that rich people get most of the new money through almost 0% interest loans).

- Corporate monopolies by locking out competitors (through lobbying government for beneficial regulations or making it prohibitively expensive for other companies to compete due to price gouging, international tax arbitrage, allowing losses in some sectors to selectively wipe out competitors in other sectors, incentivizing journalists to promote the corporate agenda, etc...)

As a small startup, you can be as efficient as you like. If some corporation doesn't want you to succeed, they can easily drain your coffers and crush you without drawing any attention to themselves. It's not about productivity or cleverness; that has very little value these days. Economic value these days lies in one's ability to control the social narrative and the money supply; it doesn't matter what the reality is.

If you have unlimited money, you can literally pay people to sit on their asses and pick their noses all day; you can even convince them that this is helping the company and therefore the whole economy... The company keeps getting more money year after year so somehow all this nose-picking must be paying off right?

The massive hose of Federal Reserve cash plugged straight into the back of the company is just a minor detail.

And the farmers who feed everyone are fools for accepting this electronic play money in exchange for their useful work.
Yeah he is. Police have been clashing with Yellow Vest protesters for months. Plenty of 'real French' people there.
I've been saying it for weeks. Geopolitical event. This virus is going to change the world. Not just because of its fracturing effect on Chinese authoritarian rule - we've been overdue for recession for a few years now and the market just crashed. One of the U.S. other main rivals on the global stage, Iran, has also already been brought to its knees.

Suddenly it's obvious that offshoring all industrial and medical production to a single third world country is bad policy. Expect a push for the return of domestic manufacturing jobs, possibly under subsidy.

Wait until the first (legal or illegal) migrant spreads the virus to a foreign country, and watch what happens to people's views on unrestricted migration.

Watch confidence in government and institution crumble as they are unable to effectively contain the spread. Politics the world over are going to, probably in a more isolationist, protectionist direction.

Pay attention to the times, you'll be telling your grandchildren about the changes that this virus is forcing upon the world.
Speed, scale, and by default with no initial sharing of keys are super important distinctions.

Go 1.14 Released – Performance Improvements, Go Module Support Production-Ready
I'm currently working on an app built with Electron app. One thing I love is not to have to worry about whether the APIs I'm using are supported by the browser, since the browser is packaged inside the app. (if it works on my machine, it has a decent chance or working well on my users' machines).

The perf overhead (memory, bundle size) is big, but it's not stopping anyone from shipping Electron apps (Visual Studio Code, Slack, WhatsApp, etc..).

A nice to have compromise would be to have currently running Chromium Electron instances to host newly launched Electron apps, it doesn't solve the bundle size issue, but at least solves memory bloat and the number of Chrome main processes running.

US mostly has a Property Tax for state or local governments, which is different from a Land Value Tax. The property tax is levied based on the value of your property, which includes all improvements made to the property. A land value tax is specifically levied against the value of the land itself, and ignores the value of any buildings and improvements or the use value of the land you're on.

Ask HN: Why landline make crazy noise while hung up?
I decided to ask it here because the problem to me at least is so novel that I found it curious and interesting (although I still need to fix it...)

Basically, one of my landline phones on the company decided to make ear-splitting loud noises... but only while the phone is not in use, when you pick the receiver up the noises stop.

I have no clue what could do that, I didn't knew a phone could be that loud (you can hear it across the room!) neither that it could make sounds while not in use.
No, it just has the really high levels of corruption like a 3rd world country.

I haven't done too much, but that's because I'm generally prepared with 2 months food/water supply for general purpose emergencies. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we're expecting a pretty large earthquake as we're statistically overdue. Once panic has set in, it's too late to prepare for much of anything. Preparing is taking action beforehand, not after. I mean, if we even get news of 100 degree weather in this part of the country, the air conditioners fly off the shelves. When there's a possibility of a snow storm, everybody panics at once and empties the grocery shelves.
Just to point out, if you're strangling the house supply with the result that nobody can build hotels, it is obviously true that nobody is being limited by the supply of hotels.

Shamir secret sharing allows for that on paper.

The problem is that to be useful for law enforcement, any local police department has to be able to go to any local judge and get a warrant and then get access.

There are approximately 30,000 state judges with fairly high turnover in that list. If you can compromise one, or successfully get yourself added to that list, you can then get access to whatever you want. That's way too many people to trust.

This is not a hypothetical weakness. I personally know someone whose physical location was compromised through a court order obtained by bribing a judge. How many cases are there where similar access was gained but the victim doesn't know how it happened? And the better the access that you can get, the more incentive there is to get it. (There is no shortage of reasons why a motivated party would want such access.)
Masks do help and you explained why. Its harder to touch your face, nose, lips when wearing a mask. So it does help fight the spread and getting yourself sick easier.
How is compression better with zarr? Pytables has been supporting quite a lot of compression format for hdf5 for quite a while. I've been using it with zstandard without any issue so far.
Yes, it’s serious (in response to your handle). I don’t think it’s necessary to create a throwaway to respond and is also against hn policy.

I’ve been downvoted to oblivion simply for stating my view; also not necessary.

Secret police worked when criminals were put away with parallel reconstruction, for instance. (This being borne of limitations with the anachronistic constitutional notions of civil liberties in the rapidly evolving digital age). I’m all for reducing abuses of surveillance systems, but frankly it’s tech oligarchs who own us, not as much the nsa.

“You can’t stop math.” Not true, strictly anyway. You can ban tech oligarchs from using unbreakable E2EE which slows it down and reduces the proliferation of digital entropy.

Backdoors are an antiquated way of implementing exceptional access. The proper way is to provide third party access that is truly exceptional (living up to the name), and not based on flaws that a malicious actor or rogue nation can break. Instead of E2EE, how about building E2E2EE. Doesn’t need to be measurably weaker.

Sorry on my phone, response isn’t nuanced.
I picked up some extra, long-term food from CostCo. Stuff that won't go bad within a few months. Pasta, rice, almonds, some canned goods. Stuff that we'll eat off of for the next few months, regardless of what happens with COVID-19.
I'm already a little bit of a prepper, so really just "more of the same" here. Since there's not really a cure/vaccine for the specific disease yet, there's not much to do on the medical front specifically.

That said, being ill with covid19 sounds like it would be similar to the flu for many people, so I'll stock up on OTC medicines that provide some symptom relief / make it possible to sleep. Mucinex, Nyquil, things of that nature.

Beyond that... I'll add to my stock of non-perishable foods: rice, beans, beef jerky, trail mix, and such-like. I plan to stock up on some bottled water as well, but I don't focus so much on water since A. it's heavy/bulky and hard to store and B. I live near many natural freshwater streams/creeks/lakes/rivers/etc. and I would rather focus on a "water purification capability" than on just stocking large amounts of water. To that end, I already keep some water purification supplies. But the thing I'm thinking about now, is building a distilling outfit. That way, as long as I have water (fresh or salt) available, and fire making supplies and firewood, I can make relatively clean water.

I also plan to add a little more to my stockpile of candles, lamp oil, batteries, etc. And I'll probably use this as an excuse to add to my (small) stash of 9mm ammo as well.

Second line of the article: "Historians working on the renovation of the House of Commons found the lost 360-year-old passageway, hidden in a secret chamber."

He did not conceal his tracks. He would pop up on IRS radar just for moving a lot of bitcoin. I owned some bitcoin and was a bit worried because many exchanges were forced by the government to release information of people, coinbase for example. Even, if he did not use one of those exchanges, depositing large amounts of cash and buying 1 mil lakefront property will raise some eyebrows.

On his tax returns he said bitcoins were a gift from a relative....unless his relative is ultra rich, no uncle is just going to gift you 3 million bucks. Plus, I am pretty sure you need to present documentation, the IRS will not just take your word for it. Honestly, any deposit over I think 10k is reported to the IRS by the banks, and IRS knows how much this guy is making, what he owns, etc.

Crypto currencies are not really as anonymous as supporters would like you to believe, and IRS will crush this guy.

1) No one should panic, period, even if they are old and sick. But just because you're young and healthy doesn't mean you shouldn't be just as concerned because it's less likely to kill you specifically. Do you seriously not have any loved ones or coworkers or friends who are old or sick? Or can you just imagine that other people do?

2) Hospitals are overwhelmed in Wuhan, which is why they're furiously building more and sending thousands of medical staff there from all over China. I genuinely don't understand how you can be unaware of this and be so dogmatic at the same time.

3) The error bars are large, but it's not like they overlap or come remotely close to it. And again, your personal assessment that this mortality rate isn't worth worrying about means nothing to me, especially when virtually every credible expert disagrees.

Finally, please drop this lazy "do not panic" rhetoric. No one is panicking, or suggesting panic. The only hysterical person here is you.

Ask HN: Anonymous Recruiters Are Crazy
Recently I started to look for new job. First thing I did is to go to Linkedin and mark my status as actively looking for jobs. After that, I got lots of spams inMail message and direct cold emails from recruiters and creepy agencies. The funny thing is message content seems to be a template. I would never reply those ones.

Sometimes I asked recruiters about the hiring team and tech stacks they use, they just have no clue. I wish I could talk to hiring team directly.

Anybody has similar thoughts? If letting you to choose, would you prefer recruiters or hiring engineering team?
