Advertising is effective as long as you have lots of VC money to compete with other competitors by overspending. It's far less effective if the company has to be profitable.

The future of ad revenue will depend on when the VC bubble will pop. As long as the interest rates stay 0%, it's not over yet.
Am I correct in thinking that interactive brokers won't send from your brokerage account to someone else?

I've been asking myself that question more and more. It seems HN has been slowly becoming a Reddit-lite. There are significantly more low-quality "thanks! this is great!" comments and "witty" one-liners everywhere.

Not to mention posts like these.
Fair-ish. Issue is that any entity that has free reign to modify the state of the chain can modify the tickets; such as deciding to no longer give refunds.

AFAIK, there are four entities in shows, with varying levels of trust between then: fans, venues, performers, and the ticketing company. (I'm considering ticket redemption are part of "venue"). Some ability to decentrally coordinate without complete trust seems worth exploring at least as a thought experiment.

I'm not saying this definitely is a valid application of block chain, just that it looks more like it could be than anything else I've seen.

I'm sorry, I have misread your source. It clearly states "unsubsidized". My bad.

I think my points about the LCOE still stand, though. The LCOE is not a good measurement for comparing intermittent and baseload power sources. Nuclear in particular suffers here since the capital costs are very high compared to operating costs. A nuclear power plant needs to run close to maximum power all the time for maximum profitability. This artifically inflates the numbers for nuclear while lowering the apparent cost for intermittent sources.

Regarding your second paragraph, I'm not sure if you're arguing that the EU spends half the amount on nuclear power R&D as solar power R&D, or if you're talking about subsidies for the plants themselves. I'd argue grants for R&D projects would be very hard to count in a meaningful way, and I don't think e.g. a research grant that results in more efficient solar voltaic cells should count as a subsidy towards solar power, nor nuclear fission research as a subsidy towards nuclear power.

The EU provides grants for constructing e.g. wind power farms. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with every country, but in Sweden, renewables are given a large cashback grant per kWh generated ("elcertifikat"). Nuclear power here has been profitable since the 70s, and didn't turn unprofitable until taxes on nuclear power were increased substantially a few years ago.

Yeah. No. Many advertisers rely on Cloudflare. If Cloudflare would choose to block ads, I'd imagine that lots of folks would ditch them and use some other DNS provider instead.
I guess it's significant that the three states have agreed in principle that they'll act together rather than each do their own thing. Maybe they can also be more ambitious in terms of testing and contact tracing by collaborating. They might also be able to collaborate in buying PPE and ventilators and so on rather than bidding against each other.

what's the point in allowing people to go to a park in such a way that it destroys the park? a national park simply cannot handle a limitless amount of traffic.

i went to rocky mountain national park on what happened to be labor day weekend. it sounds weird, but we actually didn't plan on going there while in colorado but ended up going due to other things changing. it was insane. cars, traffic, lines, massive congestion on trails, trash, etc. the park was completely overrun. lines for the shuttles were hours long. obviously, myself and my girlfriend were part of the problem (in terms of adding to the visitor numbers), but many didn't seem to care. it felt like almost being in a gold rush. people swimming with god knows what chemicals in delicate ponds and glacial lakes, trash, etc.

unprompted by anything other than my experience, i asked one of the park rangers / shuttle drivers if the park planned on implementing some system to reduce numbers in peak travel times. she basically said that it had been considered and talked about and that she felt that they were going to have to. she mentioned that the traffic of people on foot and cars was destroying the park. wildlife are constantly hit by cars, ranging from big to small. just a month or two earlier, a bear, already in dwindling numbers in the area, had been hit and killed by a car.

humanity acts as if the world must bend to its unchecked population growth. well, it will bend, then it'll break, and then it'll snap back.

For just DoH and low latencies, see Stackpath: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19514791

With fly.io, one could run DoT, too: https://fly.io/docs/app-guides/run-a-private-dns-over-https-... (that's a tutorial on DoH, though).

I use Cloudflare Workers (their generous free-tier covers 3 devices worth DNS queries, with much room to spare), but the 128MiB RAM limit restricts the number of domains in my blocklists: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22208988
I tested the ipv6 latency to nextdns https://my.nextdns.io and opennic https://servers.opennic.org –– I'm impressed with the newcomer, with 21㎳ median it's very close to the 17㎳ median I currently enjoy.
Maybe to rephrase the original question: given that you've already decided to distribute your software as a container image, what is the advantage of storing dependencies in an executable (statically) inside the container image vs storing them some other way inside in the container image?
Good points!

I managed to figure it out. Maybe because I noticed the colors were different. I suspect other people have figured it out, too, since my ex-girlfriend describes me as, "the single most stupid person I've ever met."
Even though the deals were worked out, unless the money has already changed hands, I'm betting all the terms are up for renegotiation in exigent circumstances like these. I doubt it's in the interest of the broadcasters to stick it to their customers in these times, if they want their customers to stay alive.
Read inline is definitely on the radar.

For now, I added the option to hold the bottom-right time bar to pause the advancement.

They are not luxuries to the extent you're implying. Your lifeline needs to be dependable and high quality. People inherently understand the value of tools and paying for something that'll get the job done reliably.

People spent in aggregate way more to accomplish fewer things before the iPhone (or equivalent high-end Android phone).

My smartphone is my primary camera, my communication device, my transportation lifeline, my business operations lifeline, etc etc.

I can't afford for this one thing to be the point of weakness. $1000 is extremely cheap relative to the value I get out of it - it would be a waste of time and money for me to skimp here. Not to mention, once you're in the ecosystem, breaking your workflow is extremely expensive so there's an element of lock-in.

Because people realize that kayaking isn’t a risk so why would they avoid it? This is why no restrictions should be imposed that don’t have a very clear and obvious effect. If that means they must rely on people’s ability to do the right thing (e.g not take the bus to go kayaking, not go places where it’s crowded) then so be it. It’s better to have a sustainable and accepted lockdown that is 95% water tight, than an unsustainable and less accepted lockdown.
Otherwise, as you say, once people stop accepting the lockdowns anyway.

> Brace expansion doesn't fall under pathname expansion.

I thought that was implied in my post, but perhaps I should have made it explicit.

> That's not to say it's POSIX-compliant--I have no idea whether it is

I didn't know one way or another, but since you brought it up, it looks like it probably is not compliant. See, e.g., this argument that `echo {1,2}` must print '{1,2}' because POSIX doesn't require '{1,2}' to be quoted: https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1193

Brace expansion is a nearly universally supported extension, though, so I doubt it's a real problem. And the above link proposes fixing the standard to make the extension compliant.
What are the main advantages of excluding unnecessary library functions / libraries / executables?

Here are some possible advantages I can think of: less surface area for security, less surface area for maintenance, smaller container image, implying faster time to pull image, and perhaps also faster time to boot image.

Disadvantages: you have to do the work to set it up in the first place and maintain it (putting in extra effort to avoid adding superfluous dependencies in future), while the above advantages may be marginal.
I feel like you're just arguing in favor of building them.

"Unproven" is a synonym for we haven't done it yet, so the only way to prove it is to build them, so building them is the solution to that rather than a problem that should prevent building them.

And if the only problem is regulatory but there isn't actually any reason not to allow it, this too has an obvious solution.

The justification for treating the cooling system as part of the reactor presumably comes from older designs where the active cooling is necessary for safe operation. For newer passively-safe designs, what happens to the heat once it's removed from the reactor wouldn't matter any more than what happens to the electricity once it's removed from the reactor.
Happily.

I use the official WireGuard app from the app store. I have two connections configured.

Assume that the endpoint (i.e. server running wireguard on port 500) is 8.8.8.8:500, the IP of my iDevice on the VPN should be 192.128.1.254, my home LAN is 192.168.1.0/24, my PiHole is 192.168.1.2, and my home wifi SSID is Ycombinator.

Connection 1 is:

- DNS Servers: 192.168.1.2

- Endpoint: 8.8.8.8:500

- Allowed IPs: 192.168.1.0/24

- On-demand activation:

Regarding laowhy86 and serpentza, you're being disingenuous at best. Everything you say about them is false. Their channels are not about view whoring conspiracy theories. It's pretty obvious why they've been negative recently: they are no longer living in China, because they were being harassed by police. When they lived in China, they had to watch everything they said, so they kept the message upbeat. I don't think they claim to be experts about infectious disease, nor do they claim with certainty that this is cause of the outbreak.

Have you spent much time in China? Have you lived there, or is your knowledge all second hand?

Chinese script is a bad fit for any non-Sinitic language. The languages that did adopt the script (mostly Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese) all went through a phase where Chinese was the only literary standard and as a result they also borrowed large amounts of Sino-Xenic vocabulary together with the writing system.

This got me curious about whether Mongolian has enough Chinese loanwords that it could be written in a mixture of Chinese characters and phonetic script (similar to Japanese). That question led me to this article on the difference between Sino-Xenic and other borrowings from Chinese, using Mongolian as an example: http://www.cjvlang.com/Spicks/sinoxenic.html#nonsinoxenic It mentions in passing that some people in Inner Mongolia do mix Chinese and Mongolian scripts in informal writing.

Sour grapes from a pork industry CEO who is upset that he is being asked to close his plant for 2 weeks since half of South Dakota's confirmed COVID-19 cases are due to it.

Pork consumption (and prices) had already dropped off drastically anyway due to COVID-19 since the industry sells more to restaurants (e.g. BBQ) than to home kitchens.

Programming is 1,000 room hotel of which we live in only one.

I recommend you study different programming paradigms because in them we can find really interesting approaches to solve problems.

For me those have been:

- functional programming (with Haskell)
- logic programming (prolog)
- Constraint Programming with the excellent Coursera class on minizinc.

Those paradigms made programming fun again for me.

I'd rather everyone close their borders for now (except for cargo and essential travel, with testing/quarantine) and countries/states/regions respond however they see fit for their own populations. The regions with the best responses can be examples for the others to follow.
Serological testing is really bleeding edge still. It’s only done as part of research projects as far as I heard, and you can’t really buy the capacity to do it on an industrial scale yet. Perhaps this varies between countries (where manufacturers exist and so on) but many countries in Europe still have few or no serological tests done, and we are weeks ahead of the US in terms of the epidemic progress.
Seems unsubstantiated. Proof? Would love to learn more here.
This is why I avoid the more complex games where you build things (Factorio, Kerbal space program, etc.) Playing them scratches some of the same itches I get from writing software. So I avoid playing them and re-direct that energy into using an actual programming language to build a real thing.

There are upsides and downsides. The challenges in a game are designed to be overcome, but the satisfaction of solving real problems is even better than solving puzzles in-game.

Sometimes the parallels for me are uncanny. I'm faffing about with OpenSSL right now and it feels like nothing so much as a badly designed game sub-system. Can somebody please fix OpenSSL so I can get back to the core game please? :)

I like the framing here, that of seeing this as a showcase of modern superscalar improvements. And yes, it's about single core performance only.

What is particularly interesting to me is how thoroughly superscalar "wins". Because of complexities with 6502 -> x64 mapping, and handling self-modifying code in particular, some of the most common 6502 instructions explode to multiple x64 instructions. Despite that huge extra instruction load, the translation still manages to run at much greater speed than a 1:1 instruction ratio.

Modern processors do not run on electrons. They run on unicorn tears and magic.

> Large steam thermal baseload plants are increasingly uncompetitive, coal or nuclear.

is generally wrong, since gas power plants are "large steam thermal baseload plants" and they're very much competitive. Large baseload plants are just as necessary now as they used to be since we'll still need power when the wind doesn't blow. The problem is nuclear needs to run at max power all the time to be profitable.
Let me be more precise: if you're a Republican politician or a civil servant you are not allowed to say anything negative about Trump and hope to keep your job. If you are a Democratic politician you are not allowed to say anything negative about Trump without risking the loss of federal money and resources that you would otherwise receive.

Anyone else is, of course, free to say whatever they want. (For the time being.)
