How much do you trust the "static content"? Are you going to trust another site more because of a link there? What about all the scripts and static content loaded by that site, or that that site could be made to load by tampering with its contents? Could that site be made to attack other sites using your browser (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Cannon )? Could anyone learn something about you because of the site, or what pages you access and links you follow from the site? Could someone learn what https site you're likely to access, by knowing the http site you accessed, making traffic analysis easier?

MITM tampering might not just be from an ISP. It could be from public wifi, or from an exploited/infected router, or with some care perhaps from another person on the same network/wifi, or from an office, or from an entire country.
I think GoG still not having regional pricing for much of 3rd world. In Steam most games are available normally at 30to 70 percent reduced prices in much of 3rd world, compared to US prices.
This is simply not true.

For example, here's the 2017 roadmap, which was authored in 2016 https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1774-road...

> The edit-compile-debug cycle in Rust takes too long, and it's one of the complaints we hear most often from production users. We've laid down a good foundation with MIR (now turned on by default) and incremental compilation (which recently hit alpha). But we need to continue pushing hard to actually deliver the improvements. And to fully address the problem, the improvement needs to apply to large Rust projects, not just small or mid-sized benchmarks.

We didn't do these sorts of yearly plans before that, but note that it isn't just talking about what should be done then, but the work that was being done on this previously.
My biggest pain right now. I am loycking at outsourcing the actual leg work, like cold calling people. That would free up a lot of my time and will most likely still be cheaper than hiring someone full-time. Not sure about it yet, so.
I wonder what would happen if HN banned the submission of insecure links. I bet more than a handful of 'Show HN' posters would take the time to set up letsencrypt (or something similar) in order to post.
Medium, substack, WordPress are just blogs I thought, largely by individuals. At least I use medium to blog.

What's the reason for removing those? Or maybe the posts on hn from say medium only(mostly)come from big companies?
Most cable laying ships are in 10,000 tonne size , ships this size use typically 50 tones of fuel a day at cruse speeds , cable ships travel much slower than that. The fuels ship typically use is one of the dirtiest as compared to RP-1 kerosene a falcon 9 uses. I am not so sure rockets are not cleaner approach.

On the downside The life of a cable is 20 years or more , as compared to only 5 years of a starlink sat . Definitely lot more data can go through a cable , it is not apples to apples comparison .
I noticed in Cloudflare you are given the option of allowing the site to have both http and https, and the visitor to the site gets to decide what version they want. But what use case does this have other than allowing requests to be downgraded by determined actors?
On Android, one of the suggestions when you focus the address bar in Chrome is the URL currently on your clipboard. That's tremendously useful. (It helps that pasting isn't especially ergonomic on Android.)

Ask HN: How do you handle Kubernetes manifest source control?
How do you handle maintaining manifests for Kubernetes clusters when you have multiple clusters running slightly tweaked variations of each manifest?
The same mindset occurs a lot in the software engineering world, and I think it's somewhat baffling and potentially dangerous. I find software engineering quite difficult, and I am relatively intelligent, studied computer science at top universities, and have decades of experience where I learned a ton. So I'm all for coding bootcamps, but we wouldn't expect someone who went to a violin bootcamp for 3 or 4 months to be able to play in an orchestra, but I don't think that's the standard message coming from these coding bootcamps (understandable, they have a biased motivation) or from higher ups in the tech industry at large (more problematic IMO).
> By the way, I also tried to match the plain HTTP links against HTTPS Everywhere's rulesets[5], but coverage is rather poor since the rulesets are user-contributed; I only got around ten matches out of the 1112 links.

FWIW, you can tell HTTPS Everywhere to operate in "Encrypt All Sites Eligible" (EASE) mode, which unconditionally attempts to upgrade to HTTPS and errors out (with a prompt) if the connection fails.

Yes phd is just a way of making time in your mife for what you like. The way you use that time is then up to you.
Im a bit suspicious of the lactose experiment, mainly because there wasn’t hard data to back it up. Back then there was a spurt . AFAIK there are two people who have DIY gene engineered themselves and have actually gotten data to back it up, but only 1 who is public about it, and it wasn’t a cool experiment (just showed RNA transcription) so it isn’t even easy to find.

Josiah Zayner pretty much knows everyone who has tried DIY gene injection and over the last year or so there has actually been a decrease in people trying it (bit stale from 2019, but here is his presentation at BioHTP https://youtu.be/1QOFDpYnEgY?t=4904)
In a situation where I would knowingly discomfort people by eating pork or not saying a prayer, sure, I just might modify my behaviour to be a nice person. Clearly it means something to them, so why not be considerate for such a small cost?
And we'd lose a lot of valuable obscure links.

Usually these old, forgotten or just obscure websites by someone not looking for SEO traffic or customers that some other person stumbled upon are the most interesting submissions.
I think you would miss out on having a supervisor and peers to learn from. You’d need to replace that. Might be possible with IRC etc. but I don’t know.
"How am I supposed to use a password manager if I can't put my plaintext password in a file that everyone can access?"

Like I have already said,

>> Developers especially really should be promoting the use of named and/or private clipboards (and of the share sheet in Android and iOS).

And for the specific case of a password manager, iOS offers Password Autofill integrations. It's not the OS's fault if developers are too lazy to use the right tools for the right job.
I have an Apple Watch that I wear overnight and have a sleep tracking app. Have you compared your ring to your watch to see if they report similar results? I have been considering the ring for HRV tracking (the Apple Watch only tracks HRV at random times when you are still, whereas the ring apparently tracks continuously) but also wondered if the sleep tracking is superior. Thoughts?
That's actually much better than I expected :)

It will be interesting to see what the results will be like in another year.
Wouldn't you have to reverse-engineer and implement a LOT of closed-source APIs and libraries to get a full iOS toolchain going?
I believe I cannot not fit into a toothpaste tube for entirely different reasons than "nobody has ever done it." The latter is the assertion here.
Chrome on Android shows any URL on the clipboard as a suggestion when focusing the address bar. It's a marginal but quite noticably improvement in user experience.
Why would you switch to the terminal to use grep from Vim? :grep works perfectly well, and is more convenient than search in a flat file (better context for matches, quickfix list instead of n/N nonsense).
I'm pretty sure that's the meaning GP was going for. The only other meaning I can think of would be "serving in the military", which (in the US at least) would be "in the service" and anyway members of the military also remove their hats indoors except in certain specific circumstances.
Microsoft Announces that it will drop official support of PHP on Windows
This is a tough problem because if you asked most sites/admins if you could scrape their site, they don’t really have much motivation to say yes. For some it feels like you are stealing their hard work. For others they don’t want to pay for the requests your scraper will make to their site, etc.

Regardless, I’m an ideal world, some polite things would be to:

- ask for permission before scraping, explaining how it’s neutral or positive for their business (so they are more likely to support your continued scraping or even potentially provide a more cost-effective format/API for you)

- scrape at a reasonable pace

- scrape off hours

- make requests with a clear user agent so they know where the requests are coming from
Thanks to so many people in this thread for thoughtful discourse and helping me on my journey to understand the issues better.

I just watched The Outrage Machine, which is a short (12mins) documentary that can help us learn.

It talks about trolling, the yearning to judge, public shaming, cancel culture, mob mentality, moral superiority, harassment, abuse.

ublock origin on Firefox (android) works well.
DoNotPay – The World's First Robot Lawyer
I thought I was one of these gatekeepers; and that was before I found out that Clojure doesn't actually have symbols, but just a string type with a quote-free read syntax.

Even AutoCAD's AutoLisp (the old one from the 1980's) has interned symbols.

How symbols work goes back all the way to the original MacCarthy work, and all of its actual (not cargo-culted) descendants.

It is not "Common Lisp" elitism.
I know, that doesn’t help with this particular analysis though. I basically did just that separately.
If you're on Android, use Firefox for Android and install uBlock origin. You can also install Video Background Play fix add-on to force Youtube to keep playing in the background.
PiHole doesn't block YouTube app ads on any mobile platform but it's pretty great for other in-app ads. I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with how the ad data is bundled right in with the regular video stream.

Android Firefox with uBlock Origin has worked perfect for me so far.
The other useful feature is that it keeps the election day from becoming a horse race/fodder for the 24-hour news cycle.
If you wake up happy, energised in a consistent manner then there isn't much to get out of sleep data. But a lot of people don't sleep consistent times with consistent results and not knowing why that happens leaves you with little control on how to improve your sleeping.

Without proper sleep, life loses a lot of its value.
This is the kind of article I'd love to read more of, as in more of each bit! It allowed me to discover the very well made docs to contribute to Firefox[0], which feels very welcoming to an enthusiastic non-genius-expert engineer, who happens to have some experience with CI, testing automation, and a couple languages.

I assume the overhead of the project (and subsequent tweaks to model, re-training and validation) is sufficiently negligible compared to the measured benefits even if those weren't as clear-cut as 70%. I'm unaware of how much compute is required for the task, but likely less than many compute-years per day :)

One thing I did not notice in the approach to the modelization of the problem is any link/tag regarding the platform for which the code changes are made, and the programming languages used. There seems to be some evidence that certain languages could lead to more defect fixing commits[1], and I don't know if there's evidence that some platforms are more prone to bugs (I'm sure wars of words have been fought over this). But would it make sense to have that sort of information inform the model in a way? I fully understand that I might be out of my depth here.

I'm building some unobtrusive alerting with mine (they have a public API). I'm bipolar, and less sleep is often correlated with a hypomanic episode. My oura helps me track my overall sleep and see patterns over time.

It also shows when I woke up in the middle of the night, which isn't always obvious to me when I fall back asleep soon after, but definitely impacts my sleep quality.
>It's tailored more like a medical service for insomnia than for the average consumer interested in quantified self.

There used to be a EEG headband aimed at the quantified self group (cost $100 or $150) but they went out of business. Probably because for that group a fitbit like tracker was good enough. So I'm guessing the medical side and higher price point is seen as a better business model.
It's not just passwords.

Imagine if you were writing an email to a close friend, about looking for a new job because you think your boss is incompetent. You copy and paste it for some reason (reformatting, whatever).

You do not want that to be seen by a job network site that has you connected to your boss.
Stating that it has not been done has no implications on whether it can be done, which is the claim being made.

Calling all the measures of central tendency "averages" is colloquial, not formal. Check your sources if you're going to nitpick my nitpicking.

Saying "literally" in place of "figuratively" and then referencing the Oxford dictionary (meaning C, look no further) is a cool way to troll, and to make a fool of oneself.
That’s a long time since new launch. Have they refined it since 2018?
> Ahmadiyas are minorities in Pakistan as are the Rohingya in Myamnar.

Unlike Pakistan, Indian government considers Ahmadiyas as followers of Islam. First Indian government (or the UN) would have to recognize the sectarian conflict in Pakistan and then we can initiate discussions wrt them. As for Rohingyas, they are known for some serious violence.

I'm on the Midwest, it's not as easy over here as you think.

The salary of your first job can hold down your income for a decade, you might not even realize how underpaid you are.
This is such a low effort sneer-comment, it's a dismissive way to attack and putdown any idea that includes any amount of payment. It's the discussion equivalent of "whoever smelt it, dealt it" - if someone mentions an idea which costs money, demand as a first response if they are going to pay for it (assuming they aren't, instant dismissal), or accuse that the alternative is a kind of entitled and unfair expectation held of others, when neither need be the case.

"That volcano looks like it's becoming active, maybe some sensors could give us an early warning of problems" - Are YOU going to pay for your little "idea"??? Then WHO IS?

"That tree is getting dangeoursly high, it's at risk of falling down in a big storm this winter, maybe we could get it cut down before that" - Are YOU going to pay for it?!

"Dumping raw sewage in the river is making people sick, treating it first would take a small amount of space and a small fraction of the council's existing budget" - and you want to TAX ME for YOUR clean river, I suppose?!

As if OP is the only person who would benefit, as if automatically assuming the worst possible intent for who would pay for it, and as if "who would pay" is the first and only thing worth demanding an answer to, before even having a discussion about whether it's worth doing at all - and which of many ways it might be done.
I’m happy to see Dhalsim nominated as the dominant street fighter. One of the most difficult characters to play as a novice but street fighter rewarded defensive play and Dhalsim is the best character for defensive players. I worked in blizzards QA department and they had a slick X-Men vs street fighter machine with additional characters like Sabertooth. I was undefeated and Dhalsim was the only character I used. In fact only one person ever took more than 25% of my life meter away. Much less defeated me.
Someone else mentioned it already in these comments, but I'll mention again to make sure it's not missed. If you're a startup using AWS, apply for the AWS Activate program. All you need to do is apply, and they'll give you up to $100k AWS credits, which will last for up to 2 years and automatically be applied to your bill until they're used up.

It's not a solution to the larger problem of business model and percentage of revenue going toward compute costs to provide your service, but there are a lot of other great recommendations and suggestions here for that. This could provide you some time to actually implement the other recommendations.
FWIW the Foxconn factories in China that had the suicide nets had a lower incidence of suicide amongst the population working at the factory as the general population in the province in which the factory was located, even without the nets installed.
Sure, if there are other voting options available to voters in that locality that don't involve using that station and the records of which station eligible voters voted at aren't widely accessible, that eliminates the ballot secrecy issue - thanks for the clarification.

The problem with people going after each other based on perceived ethnic/religious/education/wealth divides or things they've actually said may exist in politically fractious small towns regardless of electoral design, but very small voter pools means your identifiable fringe minority's chance of being on the end of a reprisal is linked to how/if you actually vote. And that really is a ballot secrecy issue.
People were always like that, yes. In fact sites like Twitter exploit our worst human instincts. The point of the article is that the way in which we organize people into communities makes a big difference as to whether the outcome is largely positive or largely negative. Throwing tens of millions of people all together into one big boiling pot with a strict character limit is not a particularly great way to organize.
It precludes pervasive or mandatory GC
Do you have specific recommendations? Our freezer is nearly empty.
Effective in the sense of paying better than minimum wage?

Look up the Davis-Bacon wages. These essentially act as union bargaining for non-skilled trades (as well as skilled trades). The evidence would be the rates for general labor are much higher than minimum wage. These same workers often get minimum wage in jobs that do not adhere to this.
> Unlike most companies at the time, Zoom chose to build their own version of H.264 SVC (scalable video coding) and invested heavily in intelligently routing video

I'm sure one can optimize h264 , but is building one's own video codec a good business decision? because nowadays, videos are encoded and decoded by hardware. building a new codec will lose the chance of using the hardware encoder.
Could you link to an example of a seaweed hat? I've never heard the term and Google is giving me very mixed results.
I don't have any great insight that's not in the public record, but from reading that announcement and the other article you linked, observations:

- There are a bunch of references to other folks using the term, all of which are big names I recognize as being pioneers in open source consistent with the OSI's notion of it.

- The mailing list posts enumerate a bunch of advantages that would not follow from mere availability of source code without additional rights consistent with the OSI's general notion.

The sense I get from this is that the term probably was in use already, but it pretty much meant what the OSI says it does, not just "the source is out there."
> "I'm going to take a bunch of selfies today so I can post them on social media and gain influence because I'm somebody."

There is a huge leap from being prepared to take a slefie at a famous place to this mentality, posting it anywhere on social media, and especially gaining influence or being somebody.

I didn't mean to imply it was better. If anything it is even worse because it attempts to hide the aspects of it that come from racism.
Overall what the gyms are doing is probably one of the most dangerous. In their best days, gyms are riddled with germs and plenty of studies have shown that Covid spreads more rapidly when you are singing or otherwise breathing hard.

My wife is also a part time fitness instructor - as was I over a decade ago - she isn’t going near the gym until all of this is over.

We did turn a room into her home studio where she takes and teaches classes online.

I wonder if it's currently technically feasible to make a version with swappable batteries while maintaining the same form factor, functionality and other properties the product has as-is.

I know a lot of other products could have better serviceability and repairability if one were to sacrifice form factor, dimensions or aesthetics, but for a product like this it doesn't seem obvious to me how one would go about that, but it'd be very interesting to speculate on.
My son loves Sonic and Super Mario. The cool stuff is that when kids come over they love them even though they don't have a nerdy father. :-)
Seven Bridges to Raku – Arne Sommer
The first time I saw Street Fighter was inside a Burger King. My parents didn't let me play but the intro screen was mesmerizing (Ryu throws a fireball!?)

The next time was a in mall (which was torn down at least 25 years ago) just in a random ally way between shops. I spent about 75 cents of my own money.

Our local bowling ally had a Mortal Kombat arcade (torn down 5 years ago and replaced with an ALDI) which occupied my friends (I still preferred Street Fighter).

I used to carry the Street Fighter II Sega Genesis game manual with me in middle school. The manual was included with the cartridge and had art, lore, and the moves listed.

Street Fighter was a portal for me before the Internet.

My favorite game cabinet, when I can find one, is Marvel versus Capcom. I'm not good at that game, but it felt so expansive with the choices of playable characters, I spent a bit of money but I was older and friendless and not part of the scene (at this point there likely wasn't a scene).

If I had to choose one game that shaped me, it would be a tie between Mario Brothers for the NES and Street Fighter II.
Most of the issues with police today are not that they are enforcing the law too aggressively, it is that they are closing out call tickets too aggressively.
