It would be interesting - and likely amusing - to extrapolate how many people must be driving around with huge caches of drugs, based on an assumption that purportedly unrelated traffic stops (or equivalent) were in fact random samples.

The Foxtel monopoly has got to go, one way or another. They pay for the rights to all of the best shows, then charge huge sums for subscriptions. I'd pay for Netflix, HBO online etc if only it were possible here for a reasonable, non inflated price without content restrictions.
I wonder how this API could work in terms of travel prep. If you wanted to watch the most torrented films in a given city before coming, seems like it could work out well.
It's from The Peripheral (and Agency) by William Gibson. I gather that "jackpot" alludes to the fact that some will/did profit from global culture collapse.
Simple search (non-cached) like "hello world" or "i love you" throw a bad gateway. It took 10+ seconds for "hello world" when it worked.

For my name "sandeep" it threw 0 results, however a fine line says 2870 URLs in Index. I assume 2870 is not the entire corpus of the index - if yes, then search is extremely slow.
I understand the need to change the words if a different word is clearer. But the intent behind this particular case is more of a matter of bowing to the outrage culture rather than for usefulness purposes.
Yes, I'm not sure it was intentional but your post could be balanced by pointing out the advantages for the consumer when there is ecosystem control and vertical integration. Apple took a calculated and different approach than other mobile entrants and it has paid off.

When you look at Android, it has similarities to the Mac vs PC dichotomy except much worse, where the OS provider doesn't care what happens, the OEM manufacturer doesn't care what happens, and a few other players don't care what happens either (ISP, open source community). Only Google and Samsung attempt at caring, and even then it is a disaster as there is no way to getHuman().

Maybe you are right. But I don’t want to admit it. But I would not call someone with two publications in MICRO and a lot of coding experience (with demonstrably coding skills) and MSc from top tier cs school in Canada a lazy millennial.

presumably those other 15 IPs are MSPs similar to Netsentia.

now that i think of it, maybe every IP address appearing in any Snowden leak should be probed to see if it still leads to interesting goodies.

My own opinion, but software APIs change over the years, experience from 8 years ago may not be relevant for a product with the same name.
Agreed, especially in fast-changing fields or after recent breakthroughs. One trick I use is look at the References and find the approx. max year cited. Generally the same or pretty close to the year of the paper.

It's easy to be misled by the nature of exponential growth. In most people's vocabularies these days, the term seems to mean just "very fast", but correctly understood, it's more specific and more complex than that.

Exponential growth, in this context, means that the rate of new infections is proportional to the number of existing infections. This cuts both ways: when the number of existing infections is large, the rate of growth is also large -- which is why exponential growth is so dangerous -- but when the existing number is small, the growth rate is also small. If you look at a graph of an exponential curve, there's a long relatively flat region to the left, before the knee in the curve is hit and the thing takes off.

The point is, even though we here in CA started the lockdown relatively early, we've never gotten the case numbers down to a manageable level. I'm not sure why not. Although a lot of us have taken the virus seriously from the beginning, maybe there are still too many who don't. The sad truth is that a lot of people won't believe it until it affects someone they know -- and while it's well under control, that tends not to happen. So it looks like a bad outbreak in a region creates "mental herd immunity", where almost everyone cooperates with the lockdown; places that haven't had such an outbreak don't take it as seriously.

The developer experience and infrastructural decisions are insane. Things may have changed since last year, but WP would throw user-level exceptions if the layout from any react component changed, and the components are expected to output an array of deprecated and current output. Meaning if your React component changes one CSS class, the user sees an unrecoverable error, and your component needs to emit the previous and current markup to satisfy the renderer. There wasn't even a developer mode to disable this. Then the component-level user input is stored as an HTML comment inside the markup. So many other problems, plus all of the existing WP issues with plugin security and a bloated, inelegant managed service.

One of my teams implemented everything thinking these were rough edges that would eventually be ironed out, but realized too late that WP is making terrible decisions and is stuck in a 2005~ mindset. Github issues are filled with the poor souls tasked with enterprise implementations meeting Automattic's (presumably overwhelmed) indifference.

It's frustrating because to my knowledge there aren't any enterprise grade WYSIWYG CMSes that let you freeform edit/rearrange React in-place – this is or was the closest as far as UX is concerned.

I have really tried to let the optimizer do its thing and generally it does and everything's ok.

Until its not and then I want hints to save my ass, and they are not hints, I want want to TELL the f'ing computer what to do because I know better than the optimizer period.

So surprised to find out PG doesn't support hints don't think I will ever be able to move anything serious until it does, just not going to take that kind of risk.

I have played the whole rewrite query to try and convince the optimizer what to do with barrier tricks, no thanks, give me some hints and I will tell it exactly what to do when thanks.

Sorry that this is off topic, but what’s the situation with the term “masterclass” now that we’ve determined that we shouldn’t use the word “master”. Same with “masterpiece,” “master craftsman,” “headmaster,” “master Jedi,” etc.

edit: I’m genuinely curious about this, and don’t have a position on the “master” thing. Not trying to start a flame war.

Until stated otherwise, I'm going to assume these paper bottles will be plastic-lined, like milk "cartons", and so just as non-biodegradeable and non-recyclable.

Most of the time I've seen a switch from glass to plastic or "not plastic", the real reason is to cut down on product loss due to glass breakage en route, which is pretty big.

Most programmers are not regularly writing primarily assembly or reviewing the assembly generated by their compiler. These are the scenarios where instruction cycle counts become relevant - everything else is abstracted too far to rely on anything other than profiling and testing.

You’re totally right about Yara. Unfortunately I skimmed through the article pretty fast before commenting as I was on a rush when I read it and missed this part. Just finished a second read, great article and well detailed. But my point about detection is more about the good old VirusTotal submission.

As for Nuitka, I was not able to make it work but I will try again. The alternative I also tried in the past was using Cython to generate C code then compile it but because it requires packaging Python std libs Dlls it was too much trouble and I ran into crashes when running.

I also had bad experiences when using packers because they have a tendency to trigger AV detection just for being packers, like ASProtect. Python malware is definitely a topic that deserves more in depth dive.

Good work!
This is a very known feature of Apple, especially if you are subscribed to Louis Rossmann's channel. Basically, Apple is going to treat you first class only until you have a hardware problem.

Not just allergic to any hardware needing repair, Apple will go out of their way to make your life miserable. At the very best their repair is to replace most of your device for a hefty price, at worst they will flat out refuse to help even if you offer them to pay out of your pocket but also put their legal departments to work ensuring there is nobody else on the market to compete with the service they don't provide, stop shipments of parts that don't infringe on any trademarks or patents, and so on.
Milk "cartons" have a lot of plastic in them, and are neither biodegradeable, nor recyclable.
The market is reacting to the fact that half of people in the country don't bother wearing masks in the grocery store anymore, and that disneyworld is open. The market thinks everything will turn out okay.

DAI is made by pegging on Ethereum. Ethereum is a volatile asset due to its limited supply. DAI is inherently volatile. Its peg can fail. No amount of algorithm and automation can fix the problem.

Uh, sorry for self-reply, I just want to clarify a potential miscommunication. When I say "along Georgist lines", that's really quite loosely. The proposition here is not a land tax, but common possession of all land, which is to be rented out to the highest bidder. The resulting income would then be distributed in equal shares to the owners (all members of the community).
It's nice to have a setup that lets you get stuff done with a remote machine without needing a lot of parts strung together - I had this at a previous role. I've also had roles with very little support, and being able to spin up all the utilities I needed on a work computer was helpful.

Arguably, there is nothing wrong with the concept of showing snippets/answers instead of links. If you are looking for your car keys, you want to find the keys not a note that tells you were to look.

The problem is different and is similar to oil exploitation. Google is exploiting the website content for enormous benefit and with no compensation. If Google compensated the websites it takes content from (50%-50% profit split?) it would be a whole another tune.

Wait a second...

"We interviewed a 28yo designer in 2012 who told us he had 17 years experience designing websites. I said, “Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t have 17 years experience designing websites.”

“Who’s Tim Berners-Lee?” he asked."

2012 - 17 = 1995. I was making websites, or at least pages, in 1995 and I didn't invent the WWW.

Is this intentional irony? If not, it's really depressing.
While I most likely agree that there should be greater attention payed to the impact of obesity and most health outcomes, the paper gives about a 50% increase in severe outcomes for the obese. This is a far cry from the conclusion that the the virus is relatively benign for normal weight people.
that sounds like a bad installer to me. even in my neighborhood, the most recent additions to the poles have been the fiber cables, and these are even twisted around the existing bundle. it's not a tight twist, but still wrapped around though. a wrap will help prevent unwanted sagging. it's really that simple. for it not to be done just means somebody didn't do their job.
> One of the reasons I don't like ORMs is that I'm not able to see the underlining query and truly optimize a service.

The vast majority of your queries will not fall into the category of "bottlenecks that need to be optimized" though, and you (and your probably more inexperienced team) will benefit massively from the less error-prone & more extensible nature of ORMs (I never again want to have to deal with an attempt at SQL code reuse that has grown into a string-formatted, quadruple-manifestation, triple-escaped nightmare)

A good ORM will also ease the transition into more manual SQL too, so that you can still retain the benefits of e.g. uniform abstract objects app-side.
Thoughts on our Guide to Online Defamation?
Same happening for about 5 weeks now with my left and now a little bit on the right. Had the right replaced earlier because it kept randomly buzzing.

It's actually really helpful to see that it doesn't happen when Noise Control is Off, since I failed to notice that. That gives me a mode that works temporarily.

Had no real issue getting replacements(for both sides since I think it's starting on the right too) in the mail just now (since my local Apple stores are closed). Do need to provide a credit card hold / deposit until you return the old ones. Last time my replacement included fresh ear tips too so a small bonus for the trouble.

This is funny, but the artificial talent shortage created by the recruiting bureaucracy is real.
How to spot "This posting was tailored for/against one particular applicant" listings

- Arbitrary number years of experience required.

- Absolute requirements on very specific tools and environments.

- Minimum Masters degree, even though the work isn't anywhere near that.

- Strong preference for applicants that are well known with the industry.

- Very short deadline.

If it's also a gov. job, then that almost definitely seals the deal that it's for someone internal.

Sadly, with a lot of gov. jobs, there's so much bureaucracy and laws/regulations to navigate around, that it's often impossible to "just" promote someone internal to a new position / title. The job needs to get posted around, and often times there are external boards that will have the final say.

This is obviously to fight and a CYA process against nepotism etc., but also makes it a real pain to get people.
Ask HN: Alternatives to Reddit?
Hi All,

The recent crackdown on certain kinds of speech on Reddit worries me. While I certainly don’t support many of the various subreddits that have been banned, I do think they have a right to speak.

While Reddit certainly has the right to do this as a private company, I am really disappointed with their decisions and I want to take my eyeballs/attention to a new platform.

Where should I look for a similar kind of community but that allows a wider range of opinions to be shared?
I read recently that one of the leaders of .cz likes the name and one of the leaders hates it.

I think you are vastly underestimating the complexity of communication across businesses. I am not an expert in what it takes for, say, two ERP systems to sync (EY are, though). But if you have two separate companies trying to order things from each other:

* You need to decide on a protocol

* You need to run servers (if separate from ERP)

* You need to decide on a method of authentication

* Your REST API needs to be very secure (in blockchain you need to keep your keys secure, yes)

* If the other party is unreachable then you need to start queuing transactions and in theory they might be lost, the system falling out of sync without paper trail. Actually they could be lost in any case, cause the other party might be buggy and "forget" to record.

* Which brings to: you need secure logging of your transactions for paper trail.

* You need a method of resolution in case values on each side do not match ("Billion dollar question" Baseline people refer to it as. Immutable ledgers are perfect for this.)

* Probably lots more I cannot think of right now or just do not know.

Using smart contracts as your protocol solves all of those plus:

* You can effectively transfer value over the wire as well. No need to keep an extra payment system in sync. But yes you would need to eventually convert to fiat.

* A standard protocol. If you wanted to talk to yet another company you don't need to set up yet another system and get a team to negotiate auth, security, method of audit, conflict resolution, etc.

The process is, at least in theory, simpler, cheaper, more secure and reliable.

> The problem here is making sure that you are solving a real problem at all.

I understand the concept of turning a "problem" solution into a business, but there are two issues with that as far as I see. Firstly, questioning if it is really a problem, like you mentioned and secondly does it need to be fixed, and this I think points to your second point about something being unique or if it is of value.

> Without competition, you also cannot get an honest assessment of where you stand.

I don't think a company like Uber, was fixing a problem, they made a better solution and competed. So yes, agreed that competition can be good. Another way to look at it is, if there is no competition, then there may be no problem.

The issue the author has is saturation, I think. No matter what if you are solving a "problem" in a space with no "competition" and you are winning that battle, then multiple other people are going to come along and compete.

Unique solutions for unique problems which are profitable are rare, challenging, often expensive to develop etc. Take an existing idea and make it better (hmmm Apple?), you are more likely to be successful in a tested market.
