OpenTable sounds like it would be open-source, but it appears that it isn't

I think the parent comment to yours made a sarcastic take using a variation of the popular ambiguity Free as in Beer [1] that usually differentiates between free as 0 cost and free as freedom as a reaction to the OpenTable software being free to use rather than open-source

> Like you though I'm a freelancer; you earn more for less net work time so it's good.

I do too, but it is important to recognise that many people earn a lot less when freelancing than a typical salary. There are a lot of very poorly paid "self-employed" in the UK.

I've known freelancers in the UK paid less than £3 an hour, legally because "self-employed". Think things like Uber drivers, data entry on a "per document" basis or article writing "per word".

It is tough for them.

For perspective, that is less than half the legal minimum wage, and they have no sick pay, maternity, pension or other worker protections.

I am genuinely surprised people on HN think zero pay on sick days is unusual. So I'll quote from a BBC article:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51738837

But TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said two million workers do not earn enough to qualify.

Prospect union added that freelancers and self-employed people would continue to face "the dilemma of no pay or going to work when it may be putting their colleagues at risk".

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn asked Mr Johnson if the sick pay announcement would help those currently not eligible for statutory sick pay - such as those on zero hours contracts, or self-employed people.
I often ask people who are complaining about their salary whether have asked for a raise. Most of the time the answer is “no” followed by reasons like “I am afraid to get fired” or “they will make my life miserable” or “they should just do the right thing”.

Some examples of the term sheets would have been nice. But it's so true that people are often wasting your time trying to secure a win for themselves only. It makes me think about good recruiters and bad recruiters. The good ones want to find a great fit for the position and have a reputation for getting good salaries for the people they place. The bad ones want to undercut the other recruiters and try to convince the candidate to accept a lousy offer. I'm sure the candidates are perfectly able to do that themselves.

I think that's fine; not everybody has to be an early adopter of everything. If what you're doing is working for you, keep doing it!

But for people who feel vaguely but persistently like things aren't working anymore, I really recommend experimenting with diet. I've tried a variety of things over the years, and have ended up with a combination that has made my life hugely better: better mood, more even-tempered, much more energetic, and physical exercise has gotten a lot more fun. I recently went back to my old diet for a week and felt like warmed-over garbage.

But yes, expect it will take 1-3 months for your body and habits to really adapt. E.g., when I quit refined carbs, I experience 1-3 weeks of withdrawal symptoms. Headaches, low energy, enormously cranky. And it's even longer for the habits to really get established, so I stop feeling like I'm missing out on the old things.

Of course markets are a zero sum game. The reality is that capital owners accumulate majority of the resources in the country. Then they use these resources to manipulate laws, fund political campaigns, and news organizations for their own benefit. Average American cannot afford an unexpected $400 expense [1], while 3 richest people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the country [2]. Thinking that this isn't a zero sum game takes a lot of naivete.

Under capitalism the government is nothing more than a management committee for the rich because the rich have millions of times more political influence than a regular citizen. Here's what a long term Cambridge study [3] found about the effects of capitalism in America:

>What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule—at least not in the causal sense of actually determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.

This mythical true capitalism you speak of has never been observed in practice because it's at odds with basic human nature. Capitalism favors psychopathic behavior because those who are willing to be ruthless, to step over others, cheat, lie, and steal will out-compete those who do not. Likewise, the idea that poor people in capitalist countries are far richer than they would be without it is a complete and utter fantasy. [4]

> Before we made settlements we got a large part of our calories from fruits (which contain short carbs), not unlike the other primates.

This can't possibly be true. Agriculture is only 12,000 years old or so, but people have been living in Europe for much longer than that. I'm in North America, and there are no fruits available locally for six months out of the year. Before agriculture people must have been living mostly from hunting.

I deleted my Facebook account some years ago. Even when I had one, most of my friends used it as a micro blog, image host, or free ad platform (e.g. "network marketing"), and the amount of meaningful socializing was slim to none.

Most of my socializing has been and continues to be done in person, over text, or over email. I do miss out on updates from distant family and friends, but the interaction on Facebook was always shallow anyway, so I don't feel like I'm missing much.

There is nothing inherently asynchronous about the Lambda product, unless you’re talking about the Node.js runtime and even then that’s more about Node than about Lambda.

Each Lambda invocation gets a dedicated VM for the duration of the request. It is a great match for synchronous code.
Not everything is about economics.

It is often argued that the gulag in the USSR was never a net gain economically. You could conclude one of two things from that:

1. The Soviets were dumb or

2. The Soviets had other reasons for maintaining an expansive network of prisons

I would go with 2 and I'd also argue that the colonial powers had other reasons for maintaining colonies.
Non-rechargable batteries costs more electricity than they'll ever produce in their lifespan, and producing them makes sense.
It’s a common negotiation strategy to be a complete ass and wearing people down. A lot of people will give in just to keep the peace. It also works to ask for more concessions right before closing the deal. You just have to be shameless. I think that’s why sociopaths tend to do well in business.
Non-Docker Local Installation of searX on Linux | https://persagen.com/2020/02/02/searx.html

searX is a free metasearch engine with the aim of protecting the privacy of its users.

* searX does not share users’ IP addresses or search history.
* Tracking cookies served by the search engines are blocked.
* searX queries do not appear in search engine webserver logs.

In addition to the general search, the engine also features tabs to search within specific domains:

General | Files | Images | IT | Maps | Music | News | Science | Social Media | Videos

Notably:

* Each search result is given as a direct link to the respective site,
rather than a tracked redirect link as used by Google.

* When available, these direct links are accompanied by “cached” and/or
“proxied” links that allow viewing results pages without
actually visiting the sites in question.

* The “cached” links point to saved versions of a page on archive.org, while
the “proxied” links allow viewing the current live page
via a searX-based web proxy.

Tip: I do a lot of technical searches (StackOverflow …) and in my preliminary use of searX

I find that selecting “General” (only) as the Default Category (in Preferences) gives the best results.
Efficiently encoding binary data in Tweets
Or the could:

1. sample the HSS (HLR in old-money) every night to find which phones are camping in which location areas (LAC)s;

2. this given them a phone → area location for every phone in the country, where area is about 200 cells (a few km²);

3. then they could draw out the call detail_record (CDR) of very outgoing call, SMS, and even data session to get the cell identity;

4. this gets the phone → area mapping down to a few hundred m²;

5. then if they are motivated, they will use the location services in the Mobile Application Part (MAP) to silently move every unknown phone into dedicated mode and repeatedly determine its location to within 10m - 50m;

6. if the phone has control plane, GPS, they just ask it that. Many, many phones do;

7. this information is collected all the time and passed to in-house and 'external' GIS teams to cross-reference against all sorts of wonderful data;

8. they know who you are.

The good news is they don't care. They just want you to spend more. ARPU is everything.

Becoming a billionaire requires you to be an asshole by definition because the only way to accumulate and retain that (frankly incomprehensible) amount of money is through the exploitation of your employees and the surplus value of their labor at a tremendous scale.
And it's not even always fair to blame the people causing misery. Some of them are bad actors, sure, but others are scared that they have to get in first or get in trouble themselves. (This isn't always relevant to allegedly creepy interactions, which tend to capture the imagination, but in most hobby groups I think nasty arguments are the more common scenario.)
the proper way to use kubernetes is:

- don't

Ask HN: How did you stop browsing aimlessly and focus on learning?
Actually this blog is not about how many ways you can use NULL in the database. It's all about the people who have programming experience (C/C++/JAVA) and try to write the SQL queries.
I think people just have to let go of the sense that these numbers are anything other than a snapshot in time. It's not like something gets written down in a book somewhere that the great Covid-19 of 2020 had a case fatality rate of 3.4 / 5.7 / whatever. It's just a ratio between a numerator and a denominator, and both of those numbers are changing at different rates as time passes, as testing increases, as containment practices change, etc.
I have some hearing loss as well, and this clearly would kill it for me, even if I thought it was a good idea otherwise. I actually walked through the programming floor of what might be the largest pair-programming operation in the US and was shocked to see (and hear!) that it was concrete floors and ceilings with no sound treatment. Awful.

My suspicion is that the jawboning about pair programming has more to do with the fact that it's a legal way to weed out older programmers than for any real economic benefits. We're more likely to have hearing loss, and will seem like poorer programmers in a pairing situation. Plus, we're overall less likely to put up with trendy bullshit like PP.
How long were you in ketosis before you stared eating carbs again?
Yeah that's for most divergent thinking. In the art realm here's an example of Penny Arcade's Tycho talking about anti depressants and the usual lack of creativity that comes with them. https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/01/09/bedeviled

Linkin Park's Bennington Talked numerous times about how his drug addictions helped him creatively despite him wanting to be sober. His later more sober songs kinds suck tbh.

The thoughts that come from drug tweaked brains are always slightly off. Sometimes though not usually, the thoughts are unique in a novel and attractive way. For creative thinking, dosing on something may be effective but I doubt it's healthy.
This is great advice.

As an example of the opposite, with GitHub if your account is flagged (banned),
it happens without warning or explanation. Its up to you to contact them to
request reinstatement and/or an explanation.

Then I have found they often dont reply even after repeated request via both the
website and different support emails. If you try to post something about it on
the GitHub forums, they will lock the thread as well.

Show HN: An 'offline' reverse-geocoder API written in Go
I've recently been working with real-time geoJSON data at a rate of 50+ queries per second.

SaaS solutions can be prohibitively expensive at this rate, thus, I created go-reverse-geo.

Data is pulled from geonames.org and is stored in MongoDB (a requirement of my current project).

It is very much a work-in-progress (I wrote it this morning). Hope someone finds it useful.

Lot of cynicism on HN today :( but I suggest that if someone links to a Project Zero bug about iOS you can pretty much assume it’s been patched, and the OP claims HN title character limit is the true reason for the omission.

If a bug is unpatched I’d actually expect the title to specify that instead...
This thread is not about the incarceration rate. At least my initial comment (the one you responded to) was not specifically about that. The point was that Milton Friedman threw out two metrics to measure the success of capitalism in the United States compared to socialist countries. The United States is now worse in both those metrics than democratic socialist countries. Therefore, by MILTON's metrics, the economic / social systems that those countries use are better than ours.
> and not a single person is panicked about those numbers.

That's for a very obvious reason. If 40 million people in the US get Covid, as with the flu, it will probably kill between 500k and 1m people.

That's unlikely to happen based on what we know so far. However if two million people get it, that will kill as many as the flu and produce ~200,000 ICU cases. That's far beyond what the US healthcare system can handle on top of routine circumstances.

Along with a drastically higher mortality rate, Covid also produces a far higher rate of ICU outcomes than flu does. It swamps healthcare systems, as we saw so dramatically in China.
I confess I don't measure ketosis, and it sounds like we do different sorts of workout. But I do the intermittent fasting variant known as eTRF; I generally eat 7 am - 1 pm. I was worried about how that would interact with my runs, which I usually do in the morning before eating. Enough people online were positive about it that I tried it out and it has been great. On recent Sundays I've done 2-hour runs with little or no food. My times improved and I felt amazing. And the meal after running? Fantastic!

this is only part of the story.

protease inhibitors are a major part of what was being demonstrated here.

the spike protien docks with the human ACE2 enzyme, that is for certain. this is only one part of the entry process.

after docking the spike protien must be "cut loose" [primed] in order to allow the membrane fusion process to proceed. this cutting occurs at the behest of exocytic serine protease, named [TMPRSS2].

the function of TMPRSS2 is not very clear but it seems to facilitate viral entry of SARS-2, Thus serine protease interaction must be manipulated in addition to interfering with ACE2 docking.

Then there is the damage. ACE2 sweeps up angiotensins I, and II and converts them into a nonactive form thus regulating the angiotensin pool created by ACE.

when angiotensin II reaches its receptor [ATR] the immediate functional effect is to cause vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure to operational level.

when ACE2 is disrupted from managing the angiotensin II pool
there is an excess of ATR activation and this leads to a pathological state. The space between lung epithelial cells becomes reinforced with extracellular fibres leading to pulmonary sclerosis in addition to widespread cell death in lung tissue.

this is where the concept of ACE inhibitor and ATR blockers come into play. the reduction of angiotensinII and reduction of ATR signalling is thought to be a method of mediating this pathophysiological consequence of initial ACE2 disruption during viral docking process.

the whole picture is to block the virus ability to dock, and block virus ability to initiate the fusion process; And to mediate damages caused by the disruption of the RAS by way of ACE inhibitors and ATR blocking.

that means four points of leverege in this system, require
four drugs minimum and clinical care for patient management.

under the load point of view, yes. absolutely. no doubt.

under the speed of action, no way. if your k8s cluster is properly managed, you can let developers do most of the operations work themselves, confined into their namespaces, touching only the kind of resources that you tell them to touch.

I would discourage use of git diffs as in many CI cases builds happen per git push rather than per commit.

This means that you need to maintain a separate mapping of component vs git commit where it last changed. So you need extra commit from CI to maintain that and more scripting to parse the map.

If you don't, and say you push or merge 2 commits at once, you would lose any component that is changed only in the 1st commit.

Finally, the bash command in the article is universal and not dependent on Git.

Regarding what you mention about SaaS expense - this is a secondary use-case for Reliza Hub and I also suggested plain Git no-SaaS way in the article with extra commit from CI.

However, I know some orgs that do not allow using extra commits from CI - therefore Reliza Hub would be a nice workaround for those constraints.
