I'll grant you the second point but RE: ads, it's my understanding that ad rates are so low on YT that content creators have to resort to product placements in addition to pre-roll ads.

(For the record, I pay for YouTune Premium which directly contributes to content creators on YT).
I believe the IBS product is dangerous. There are foods I cannot digest because my gut has been damaged from celiac disease (high fructose foods). Even if Nerva is effective at treating IBS (perhaps, especially if it is effective) that would be treating a symptom for an underlying disease while maintaining the activity that damages your body.

I am incredibly grateful I never heard about this before trying an elimination diet. The simple fact is that if I pursued and did not also restrict my diet I would be destroying my body and likely end up sicker than I was before. If you have IBS please pursue a real diagnosis and treat or manage any underlying conditions.
I'm currently running the Ryzen 5 4500U with Fedora 32 + rawhide kernel, and strongly recommend anyone using a Zen2 APU under Linux to upgrade to the 5.8RC5 kernel.

There are some tremendous performance and battery life gains over the 5.4 kernel that's current in Ubuntu 20.04 and even the 5.7 kernel that the OP is running.

If you are worried about your ISP injecting/hijacking your DNS, then you should also use DNS over HTTPS.

Some ISPs I think hijack all DNS requests irrespective of the destination and point it to their own. Sky used to do this from what I read.

Setup DNSCryptProxy is my suggestion and let it pick the best/fastest/closest DNS over HTTPs resolver.
Tor + VPN makes it very difficult. You have a lot of faith in the government. They usually just go for hackers who make research papers publicly available using school and library computers.
Right. Even if one community comes up with a really good plan, we still have interstate travel in a nation with numerous states whose governors are actively against any mitigating actions on a local level. So no, we can't just "look to our governors".
A lot of modern web technology is inefficient for the sake of being ergonomic. Here's what Hacker News looks like: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/master/apps/news/...
> * This afternoon we saw an outage across some parts of our network. It was not as a result of an attack. It appears a router on our global backbone announced bad routes and caused some portions of the network to not be available. We believe we have addressed the root cause and are monitoring systems for stability now.* Jul 17, 22:09 UTC
The sensible thing to do is to assume a cynical mind. Unfortunately, with stuff like this, you'll probably be more often right then wrong, though you may never find out.
That's only ~60 QPS, assume it is peaky and hits something more like 1000 QPS in peak minutes, but also assume most of the hits are the front page which contains so little information it would fit literally in the registers of a modern x86-64 CPU.

Even a heavyweight and badly written web server can hit 100 QPS per core, and cores are a dime a dozen these days, and storage devices that can hit a million ops per second don't cost anything anymore, either.
Wow this guy got me pumped. I used to do P90X last decade, but as my body’s getting older and my eating habits and motivation are not what they used to be, I need a bit of a change. This guy has that “it” factor that just makes you want to get up and move (like Tony used to inspire, too).

Thanks for that link.

There were alternatives. IMO, Microsoft Cntk being one which was better than tensorflow. Tensorflow 'won' because of herd mentality and the perception that everything google does is cool.
I saw this, but what is the background?
Just the information in article is valuable in helping track them down. The number of people involved, their communication platform of choice, and the age, gender, location of the participants. Assuming it’s all true, of course. It also sounds like the journalist corroborated some of the hackers’ claims by confirming non-public information about the hacks with law enforcement. That’s particularly valuable to law enforcement. It verifies some of their findings for them.
1M queries per day is ~10 queries per second. It's a useful conversion rate to keep in mind when you see anyone brag about millions of requests per day.
Ahhh I understand - that’s a good point. Many people follow the low FODMAP diet without the direction of a dietitian (against the recommendation on how to do it) and likely aren’t getting the full result so GDH will still provide benefit, as well as helping the psychological side of IBS.

Interestingly, it’s possible they both help with visceral hypersensitivity - FODMAPs ferment in your gut causing gas and your gut to expand and hypersensitive nerves could then be alerting the brain to potential (but false) danger, so by avoid FODMAPs you avoid this process. Hypnotherapy could potentially be coming at the same process but from the top down instead.
>The problem is, remote education has been a complete disaster.

Speaking from a USA perspective, no, it was a complete shit show. And you know what? That is fine.

Our school district went from completely normal one day to remote learning the next. Huge swing in what to do and how to do it. There were no plans for a global pandemic. School districts learned quickly there were external factors affecting everyone's life at the same time. Parents losing jobs, food insecurity, child anxiety. All at once.

School districts eased up. Remote learning went quickly from trying to dive into things to one on one check ins to group hellos. The semester started winding down. Everyone passed and moved on.

Now, we're in the fall. School districts had months to prepare for an effective remote learning strategy. Let's see what happens.

(Between you, me and the tree, it's not going to go well, either.)
I'm surprised so many people still use them. They took my business down (along with half the internet) a few years ago and I learned that they were to large of a point of failure.
What was failing was ssh to a local host. I can't imagine that Brew ssh uses DNS over HTTP.
I am aware that gluten is not a FODMAP, I can not eat high fructose foods. Gluten causes my body to attack itself which has damaged my small intestine. That has caused fructose malabsorption.

Well yes, but HN isn't really static though. Fairly Dynamics with Huge number of users and comments. But still, I think I need to rethink lots of assumption in terms of speed, scale and complexity.
It is certainly doable , PoF was running lot of page views famously of a single IIS server for a long time .

HN is written in a lisp variant and most the stack is built in-house , it is not difficult to imagine efficiency improvements when many abstraction layers have been removed from your stack .
Sure, but that doesn't mean that the concept of entropy in physics is a different concept than its incarnation in information theory. Just like the concept of energy existed before the development of thermodynamics, but thermodynamic energy is still energy.
In case you weren't aware, the accuracy of "The Big Hack" (3rd citation) has been widely called into question. There has been no corroboration of their claims, despite a lot of interest in locating one of these compromised servers. While it raises an important point about the plausibility of supply chain compromises (see NSA and Cisco), the case in the article has not been shown to be a matter of fact.

The story earned two sarcastic Pwnie Awards from the security industry last year, "Most Epic Fail" and "Most Overhyped Bug".

> - While "10x less", iPhone still sends your private information (such as location) to Apple on a regular basis[1].

Apple documents cases where private information is used, even if it is never sent off device. macOS and iOS users would be familiar with the interstitial privacy screens that show up the first time you use a feature.

iOS has always shown an icon in the status bar when the location information is accessed and provides a log of recent accesses. Recent versions have been more aggressive of reminding you when location data is being shared.

The most common reason location data is sent to Apple is for navigation purposes; if you opt into Location Services, Apple uses your device location for traffic aggregation. You can turn this off at any time.

> new privacy-focused ad framework

App developers incorporate ad frameworks to monetize their apps. An advertiser pays for an ad, and the ad framework displays it in the app. If the user taps on an ad, the framework communicates this back to its servers to make sure the app developer gets credit.

Most ad frameworks try to slurp up as much information as possible about the user in order to tailor more ads to them. Apple's new SKAdNetwork API does not send user information back to the network, only the app identifier that is needed for paying the app developer.
For all my sibling comments, there is also context to be aware of. 5.5m page views daily can come is many shapes and sizes. Yes, modern web dev is a mess, but situation is very different from site to site. This should be taken as a nice anecdote, not as a benchmark.

>>... not the work of a nation-state or hacker group...

Quite concerning, a Twitter got really lucky that it was a mere scammer.

Every serious hacker group & adversarial nation-state has just learned a huge amount about Twitter internals, and their weak security.

If Twitter fails to implement far more stringent controls (and yes those are a pain in the neck, expensive and inconvenient), they are 100% sure to be used for serious provocations.

At the very least, Admin access to blue check accounts should require simultaneous triple access codes from admins who don't work together.

As a reference point for what real security looks like: when I worked at IBM, I met a guy who had figured out how four people in different offices could conspire to get $10MM transferred to an offshore acct, and reported it. He was promoted up two levels for that insight (&the loophole was fixed).

That would take 4 people conspiring, probably twice that after the fix.

Meanwhile, a single Twitter admin can post ANYTHING from accounts of people who can launch nuclear weapons.

Sure, it's all fun and games until someone wants to play Global Thermonuclear War - and can.

I hope this gets security taken more seriously.
I think there is an interesting generalization to be made here: major innovations cannot be introduced to the market by raising billions to fund aggressive marketing push campaigns. Only minor innovations can follow this route to market, and it’s still risky.

If you define a major innovation as one that will have to challenge the established habits; then first and foremost, diffusion of a major innovation requires time, not money. To be understood, desired and finally accepted by the market/society. That’s why all major innovations I can think of started from very niche applications, and then patiently won neighboring niches, one after the other, slowly improving in the process, till they eventually became mainstream, sometime after several decades. This diffusion process generally spans over the lifetime of several companies. One example here: automobiles, around which our cities were ultimately redesigned.

It’s difficult to rewrite history, but had Segway started small as you suggested … it may have been more successful in the long run, as a concept and maybe as a company. To really change the world with some major innovation, starting small and targeting niche applications is the way to go.
Wiggle the mouse to fix the test (2013)
And furthermore, there are locations in the United States that have handled the virus pretty well and are powerless to stop people from coming up there and messing it all up.

“Mike, from Old Town, who did not want to share his last name, ordered a vodka Red Bull before getting back in line with friends at Old Crow Smokehouse’s curbside bar. He had just gotten back from a vacation in Dallas, Texas, with a friend, where he left a day early due to the spike in cases and the state’s rolling back on its openings.

“[It feels] like I’m the problem,” he said with a nervous laugh as he talked about being out and about amid the pandemic. Looking around at the throngs of people drinking and walking around Wrigleyville, he said it is concerning.”

What the hell are we supposed to do about that with zero national plan? All the local shutdowns in the world are useless unless we can put the interstate commerce clause on hold for a bit.

On the contrary, ATT actually squats on the CloudFlare DNS IP address. IIRC that modem is one of the affected ones where it uses 1.1.1.0/24 internally. You shouldn't even be able to use CloudFlare DNS normally.

Here's the other side - How many deaths are acceptable? If death is a certainty for all, should we just get rid of the health care systems? Should we stop research into some of the diseases? Which ones? How many person-days/productivity has been lost because of preventable deaths?

We are talking about a 4/6/8 week lockdown, that's not long term, that's immediate term.

Is it really a bad thing to not know algebra at the 8th grade?

I understand what you are saying, but I cannot reach the same conclusion as you that they are lowering the bar.

Even if at the moment a lot of people are exposed to algebra at a very young age, a very few people understand the maths behind, they use it as a set of rules to apply, which is very far away from how maths works..and then, leads to a bad use/generalization in unknown problem.

I didn't follow precisely the common core thing, but if I remember correctly, the idea behind is to teach to the child's to 'think' instead of having a rule based system. Ultimately leading to understanding algebra better and faster at a later stage, when it becomes only a corollary to one's thought.

When you can think more deeply and more abstractly at a young age, this may lead to better thoughts power, better logic, and ultimately better skills at math and in life. At least, I think this is the true idea behind the core, please if there is an expert on math education here correct me if I'm mistaken.

Of course, this is often difficult to accept for adults, as we want our child's to have 'at least' the same education of ourselves. But it is not obvious that the way we larned math, is a good way. If it is: why so many people do not like/understand maths? Isn't it a good thing to try newer teaching methods that we think are better?

I may be doing a big shortcut here: but from what I remember the core was worked out by very capable mathematicians in both mathematics and education and they were inspired by Korean/Japanese math systems that encourage the child's to think.
If someone has references to this I would be interested as well :)
Off the top of my head: Poor error messages, any type checking is run on the generated code so harder to enforce properties, and if code generation is not in-language, then the base logic can diverge for different types, which is bad when you find bugs.
For us, it's cloudflare. Our ISP is connected to KCIX, and cloudflare apparently has 1.1.1.1 servers in Kansas City. No other free DNS provider is as quick, for us. 18ms or so RTT, as opposed to the WISP's internal latency of ~10ms. Central Kansas.

> Apple doesn't have computer backups.

You've been able to back up iOS devices to a Mac or PC since the first iPhone came out, longer than iCloud has been around. Those backups are encrypted with your own key that Apple does not have access to.
Except that big outbreaks were used as learning experience by other places who managed to contain issue before it became big and are opening now. While having enough testing capacitiy and experimenting with exact rules that allow them to open up.
In my view, hopefully that question can be replaced with: Is it reproducible? The method they mentioned, Cryo-EM, is also how we've got those amazing 3d pictures of the novel coronavirus. They mentioned that preparing a good sample was a challenge, but it shouldn't be insurmountable for someone else to repeat that part of the experiment.

That's so unjust how democrats can't just incite riots and let them burn uncontrolled without the federal government stepping in.
Pay. Your. Fucking. Debts.
As a similar but "dual" experience: I am a very desirable candidate in my specialty. My resume is really really good looking, to the point where jobs have commented that they were worried I was fake. I've never been turned down for an interview, and only turned down for a job or internship once.

Having been offered positions at a number of companies who "really need" someone with my skillset, a lot of these places are shockingly inflexible on pay. I make 3-4x what (I infer) they normally pay people in nominally similar positions, and they seem absolutely unable to match that for procedural reasons, even though based on their description that seems like a reasonable investment for a specialist they really really need. The companies I end up working for are typically outsize successful, and I attribute a lot of that to their willingness to fork over some extra cash when it makes rational sense, and shockingly few companies in SV fit this description.
> Likewise, hundreds of health-care workers losing their lives isn't very surprising.

Sorry, this seems to be completely wrong.

"5,250 workers died on the job in 2018." If 939 health-care workers died from Covid-19... That's a really big percentage.

> You should know that the way we classify deaths is highly suspect,

That's why looking at excess deaths makes a ton of sense to me.

> it stands to reason that many of those deaths are from cardiovascular disease

Sorry, that seems like an extraordinary claim.

It sounds like you're standing on your head to not blame the novel disease. And intentionally standing on your head to say that when the conclusion of the cause of death is Coronavirus, it's wrong. Both at the same time.

Wouldn't we see autopsies saying "the cause of death is a cardiac event" close to 140,000 cases more than normal, for your claim to be remotely true? We're not seeing that.

> BTW, go look at 2019 all-cause mortality compared to 2020 all-cause mortality.

Can you provide the references that you found? It's not clear to me how to find this exact data.

How many people who would have lived from a cardiac event are having trouble finding an ICU bed?

We hear 50+ hospitals in Florida have their ICUs completely full?
Did you read the article as critiquing the belief that some suspects have superhuman strength and imperviousness to pain?

I mean, I Google'd "drug-induced strength". Among the first few hits were [this video][1] and [this article][2], which seem like reasonable evidence of those two symptoms existing together.

The article's logic was disjointed, but I read it as primarily focusing on terminology. If it was instead an argument against the existence of those symptoms, that'd be a tad confusing given stuff like the YouTube video.

What's the most trustworthy VPN that HN users recommend? My 3 year subscription to my local one is about to run out! Looking for advice on what is trusted nowadays!
Most importantly, their interests directly align with users actually buying their products, not viewing ads on their products. Thus, they have a sort of vested interest in ensuring privacy (which is a product feature). The same cannot be said of Google's Android.
honestly I didn't think it was a clumsy response. It seems perfectly reasonable:

* First they clearly assumed it was a limited number of accounts that were compromised, so they went after single accounts.

* Once they realized there was a bigger problem, they locked down the high value (for this kind of scam) accounts

* Then they went for a high level filter so the same scam couldn't appear on any other accounts while they worked out what happened

* They didn't re-enable the locked accounts until they had a handle on, and presumably control of, the attack.

This seems like a reasonable response, and the time between when it started, to when they stopped it, to when they restored service all seemed absolutely fine. It speaks somewhat to a lack of sufficient access control limits, but there are very few companies can guarantee that their access control divisions are perfect.
That is good point. It is meant to be city names. I will improve the search box. Cheers for the help.
Let's say your kid is "weird" - on the autism spectrum, or ADD, or has severe allergies, or whatever. That can often cause problems in school, because children are often cruel. Parents of such children may be more likely to homeschool them than parents of kids that better fit the "normal" pattern.

Let's say the kid turns out a little weird. Would they have turned out better going through the public school system?

It's not necessarily fair to blame the homeschooling if the kids come out different. What were they at the start?
>then just went with a proxy server. Costs peanuts with the cloud compute ecosystem.

The problem with personally operated VPN servers is that all the traffic ties back to a single user: you. This is fine if you're on a malicious network and need secure exit node for your data, but for anonymity (eg. ad tracking, DMCA) it's objectively worse.
I'm curious of your claim that SIP works everywhere except in America?

Can you elaborate?
" but the whole ecosystem is a bit weird."

It absolutely is.

The web was meant for static documents and some link magic.

Now allmost every complex programm can run in the browser with web technologies. And in the time between you had lots of powerful organisations with their own agenda, as well as millions of single developers with a agenda and a loud voice. How could a sane, clear spec be made, under these circumstances?

Besides, it would be very hard, to make a clean spec that satisfies the needs of the whole population. So by now I say, all in all, it works pretty good.
