1 USD = 73 Rs.

A mid-level manager / programmer would pay around 20-25% in taxes.

Plus, Current GST (VAT) rate in India is 18% for goods and services like most countries. There are reduced rates 0%, 5% and 12% for some goods and services, and 28% luxury rate for some items.

And finally, other tariffs on things like iPhone, computer parts, cars etc.
HAProxy has a dashboard the last time I checked, which is today.

Thanks for the effort! A very nice overview, which makes choosing between load balancer implementations when looking for a specific feature a lot easier. Somehow tables like these are hard to find when you actually need them, good to know this one exists.
Nothing inherently dangerous about practicing breath holds at home, as long as it's done sitting in a bed or so in case of dizziness. Unless you hyperventilate (don't!) the pain will be too great for most people to hold until they black out. And one can always just start breathing before that, never beat your own PR by more than a few seconds at a time.

Of course, when setting records it's done in the water (because of the diving reflex), which should never be attempted alone.

I recommend apps for "co2 tables" when practicing.
"It's ironic that how until something is promulgated by or studied by a western university it is discredited."

The 'western university' idea of using scientific methods to test claims is what has allowed us to sort out useful actual impact of breathing exercises and meditation from supernatural claims like astral projection, teleportation, telepathy etc., but sure, let's just trust eastern wisdom because anything else would be western colonial oppression...
Why not just buy a low power desktop or one of those thin clients on sale and DIY?

You can even 3D print a nice enclosure, these days.

If you're DIYing, then DIY.
How does training for and completing these records not produce brain damage? Isn't an extended lack of oxygen...bad?
It's the consequence of decades worth of monetization of as much of the internet as possible, fighting against ad saturation/blocking by the users.

Additionally, web browsers were never built for easy monetization of web content; being under the control of the end user.
yeah you need at least $20 for the drugs, plus gas and wages for the driver to go pick them up. this doesn't even touch on depreciation / capital cost of the vehicle itself! also, what's the prevailing rent for an interrogation facility these days?
In Pakistan, to prevent this, you either can only buy a cellphone whose IMEI was registered with our regulatory authority (when it was imported via official means), or you can register a personally imported phone with absurdly excessive taxes, which makes the whole point moot.

(btw you can only buy a SIM that's linked to our national identity card, so the sim will just not work. There is a six months grace period for foreign visitors)

This means that device options are very limited and prices are absurd. You can buy a small car for the price of an iPhone, for example. We easily pay atleast 20%-50% premium on the same device from india, despite having similar economics.
A ranking of architecture diagramming tools
I'm curious to those who disagree with the parent why, or what exactly they find is inaccurate about their statements.

"A permanent solution to a temporary problem" is a government's most practiced response.
Are there any spaced repetition apps that are:

1. Not Anki (it would be quite boring of you to ask...)

2. Free (Free as in no optional features that actually cost money)

3. Easy to use
While this is certainly not impossible, I find it to be highly unlikely. If it's true that Trump's password is this weak then we should have seen account takeovers by now considering there are many people who would love to control that account both for economic reasons (Trump's tweets used to move markets) and political ones.
Rocks ain't free. Finding and picking up a rock usually requires at least half a minute, so if one takes an hourly wage to be $24 that makes the cost of obtaining a rock equal to... about 20 cents.
Thanks for that very nice comment. Interestingly, I think software has huge potential for "inward mobility"! Consider the fact that the basic screen/memory/cpu/battery combo has been around for ~10 years, but I believe we've only begun to discover what these devices can do, and most of what we've discovered has been funded by precisely that old guard - and so there's been a bias toward centralization and, dare I say it, rather unscrupulous use of information asymmetry and moral hazard to produce systems that are superficially great for people, but are rotten in their cores. It's not all bad since this money has explored a lot of useful UI/UX space, but...I really believe that there remain huge improvements to people's quality of life once they take ownership of these infinitely mutable devices and start organizing that enormous data-space for their own benefit.
I always had a joke theory that it was hacked long ago and keeps posting outrageous things. Rather than admit he was hacked Trump has to actually do those outrageous things.
The article doesn't mention the password has been changed. I can only imagine millions of people will attempt to login now.
That is what likely happened:
"A day after he gained access, Gevers noticed that two-step verification had been activated on Trump’s account. Two days later, the Secret Service got in touch. According to De Volkskrant, they thanked him for bringing the security problem to their attention."
I wonder when he changed it from 'maga2016!'?

One of the best uses for Spaced Repitition I've found is to manufacture those "Aha!" lightbulb moments. The process works like this:

1. I create diagrams/other visuals from what seem to be important concepts from the book before reading it and without knowing what they are about.

2. I will use Anki to try and draw those visuals from memory. At this point, I learn the intimate details of the visual but have the constant question in my mind,"what is this thing?". I try to time starting this process 3-5 days before reading the book.

3. I read the book as I normally would, and when I hit a discussion about whatever visual I memorized my brain immediately goes "Oh! That's what that thing was!". Those euroka moments are actually great tools for remembering concepts and with the SR system I also have a visual to tie the concept too.

Other things I've used SRS for:

- Internalizing life principles. Anytime I feel "Oh thats important principle, I don't want to forget it". Sometimes its been from a book, othertimes its useful feedback from coworkers, or just anything thats a principle I want to hvae top of mind.

- Associating faces with names. When joining a new company and meeting dozens of new people, using Anki to remember peoples names works well.
Russia gives Edward Snowden permanent residency
Regardless of whether this is real or not, it sounds like it's long past time that Twitter implemented proper user controls for the use-case of multiple securely-authorized users who have the ability to control one high-visibility Verified account. Sharing passwords and TOTP creds between a dozen or so actual people seems massively failure-prone.
In Brazil is usual to hear in more educated circles the denomination "estadunidense", which is essentially the same thing as USAian. Or north-americans, when talking about the culture from the standpoint of Brazilians.
It's far from true that no one cares.
It's trivial to change with developer tools, doesn't count as evidence.
Buildings getting damaged by 2-3.5 Richter earthquakes seems really dodgy from where I sit in California.
I was motivated to post this because of some of the discussion occurring about the Google monopoly case. A recurring theme seems to be that we just need to rely on individual marketplace decisions to deal with Google and that a large enough plurality of people should stop using google search if we really think it is a problem.

I thought that this article focuses the objection I'd felt to that sort of solution, namely that basically cedes our power for collective action and the use of governmental and legal remedies in favor of an essentially individual effort against the colossal collective power of large corporations. I think the article does a service is pointing out that the trend toward "ethical consumption" has basically just been a decades long stall tactic that has given large corporations and consumerism a pass on materially improving in any way.

In the same way that upper-middle class people buying expensive clothes has done exactly nothing for the working conditions of Bangladeshi workers, a few of us more technically savvy professionals using Firefox and Fastmail is going to do nothing to loosen Google's grip on the internet.
> wearing a mask when you're sick

That's very different than forcing everyone to wear masks all the time just in case anyone is ever sick.
Somewhere in a Sam Esmail alternate reality, Elliot Alderson is probably smiling or something.
I agree with the overall thrust of the questions. But Trump might not cooperate with anything that makes life more inconvenient for him: https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/06/politics/donald-trump-secure-....
Mostly found the interface really clunky and confusing / difficult to use, which made me dread using the app regularly. Some things were also surprisingly difficult to accomplish / impossible to do. I also wanted to be able to write markdown for my cards. Aside from that I liked the concept of Anki (desktop app, offline first, decks sharable via an export file). Mochi supports Anki imports, but I don't believe Anki supports importing any other format other than .apkg and .csv.
I am in no way an expert, just a novice in gpl licensing but I have some questions.

Why do you say agpl is not for free software / hobby ? From my understanding which could be wrong, is that you are free to use "this" software if you give the same freedom to your downstream work and any modification you do must be given back to original work. Why is that difficult ? If I am using libreoffice and I develop a fix for bug that I found in my usage, why not give it back to the entire community so that the software is made better for the entire mankind?

Second, which is more important than anything hobbyist use, if I am a for profit corporation looking to earn money, why should I be allowed to take existing code built by God knows how many volunteers, make slight changes and market it as "my" product and totally ignore the work done by these people?

From what I have been reading over time, no one is going to come after a "serious hobbyist" if they ran GPL code in their projects having proprietary blobs. That is just scare mongering.

Leeching off of work of community and passing it as own work without passing modifications and improvements to community is what the issue is and unless you want to do that, fine. Use commercial or software that is permissive only.
He also has the incontrovertible proof of a screenshot anyone could have taken from any account that copied Trump's profile and cover photos.
> I am gobsmacked that Twitter allowed his account to continue without some kind of additional security measures like 2FA or geo-IP checking. This is a guy that could literally start World War III by sending a tweet like, "Eat shit, China! Missiles on their way!" And Twitter didn't think it should be locked down beyond a simple password!?!

I mean remember how bitcoin scammers got access to Twitter admin panels recently? I don't think security is Twitter's biggest concern... My old Twitter account has been hacked by a Russian spammer despite having 2FA, I just decided to close it, it became a liability.
When there's a 40 (mars) or 80 (jupiter) minute delay that's guaranteed, it sounds like a unique form of a time lock. Put your private pgp key in a 24 hour time delay circuit and guarantee that no one can do a decryption in the interim (long as it's the only copy).

I wonder if 50 years from now there's going to be a blockchain based on that technology (as opposed to the computation or storage based blockchains we have now).
Actually this is interesting, I did this myself growing up. But I seem to remember that it arose because of slowly changing password requirements. Like I remember having a password in my teens for Myspace and other web services, and one day when signing up for a new service I was prompted with "your password must contain at least one number". So I just took the same old password and put a number on the end of it. Then a few years later the same thing happened with special characters: "Your password must contain at least one number and a special character". So then "okay, just tack a special character on to the password I already know" and voila <word><number><special char> is now my password.
This is excellent. One thing is missing - support for Proxy Protocol.

It is the only real, standards compliant way in which you can preserve client information (IP address, etc) while its moving inside a kubernetes cluster. Not all ingresses have support for injecting it. Most ingresses can read it (assuming a cloud based load balancer has inserted it already).

We had moved to haproxy for this reason.
Many decades ago, macintosh prices were so high in Brazil that it was cheaper for me to fly to Miami for a weekend, (regretfully) watch the phantom menace, cheerfully watch the mummy, buy the damn mac, fly back, and pay duties at the airport, than it was to buy it in the country.
> But are those being ignored (not sure about the Amoeba bit)? Do we routinely mock those who say smoking is bad? Do we ignore traffic fatalities by ripping seat belts and air bags out of vehicles? Are autonomous vehicles widely derided as not useful?

The point is that we didn't ban smoking or driving. We did ban being close to other people.
why do you find it difficult?
Sorry but asking people to pay sales tax on something you bought out of state is just ridiculous to me. There was a transaction between me and state A, not state B. Just because I live in state B doesn’t mean they’re entitled to the sales tax. They were never a party to the transaction, they’re just of the belief that I _would have_ bought it in state B if I didn’t have the option of going to state A. This isn’t a morality issue, it’s the state government being mad that I have options to cut them out of the loop.
> This memo[1] seems to assert that they would not be friends to free speech against encroachment by the government if the speech were speech they didn't like.

It explicitly says the opposite, but does indicate that they would not be able to legally represent people making such speech if the terms of such representation would restrict the ACLU from criticizing the viewpoint being advanced while defending the right to advance it: "While the ACLU vigorously defends the right to free speech of those who espouse views
antithetical to our own, we also reserve our right to condemn those views. Our defense of free speech rests squarely on the proposition that speech deserves defending even if we, or others in the community, find it reprehensible. Accordingly, as a general matter we should be
able to simultaneously defend a speaker’s right to speak and condemn their views, and we should seek to preserve that right through ethically appropriate representation agreements. [...] But we generally should not agree to represent people who will not agree to sign an ethically appropriate advance waiver of potential conflicts
arising from our condemnation of their views."
Read the comments above. In short: more libraries + libraries up2date + Bootstrap + Font Awesome
Which doesn't show the Twitter handle. Anyone can fake this by changing an accounts name, profile picture, bio, and banner.
It's quite ok - obviously your intentions were fine. I appreciate the explanation.
The tweet is available right now?

Why not post a hash of a timestamped transaction on the blockchain? Wouldn't that be better for establishing credibility instead of this?
The source article is linked to on the story, and it says screenshots were taken. My parsing interprets it as saying that they showed these screenshots to security researchers.
“screenshots were shared with de Volkskrant by the monthly opinion magazine Vrij Nederland. Dutch security experts find Gevers’ claim credible.”

https://www.volkskrant.nl/nieuws-achtergrond/dutch-ethical-h...

Also, the guy has a history (well, both do). Gevers has got into numerous other accounts before, and uncovered some disturbing stuff - tracking of Chinese Muslims via facial recognition stuff in China for example.
Is anyone experiencing this type of issue when publishing PrivateLink Endpoint Services? Presumably it means you need to deploy services to every AZ in the region you are operating? Is that adequate?
He is a stable genius!
> The wildest of these ideas was a 1963 patent that, Monmonier writes, “might have made made cartoonist [Rube] Goldberg scratch his head.” The patent, by brothers Thomas and Frank Novak of Brownsville, Pennsylvania, described a stationary globe with a rotating air duct that would use an “upward air blast” to hold a sphere aloft as it orbited the Earth (above). You don’t need to be an engineer to know this would have never worked.

I am not sure how the author came to such a ridiculous conclusion. The machine would work just fine. I guess you don't need to be an engineer to be a journalist either.
Again, I wasn't asking for proof, I was saying it's pointless to pass judgement without it. I called you out for wanting to do so without anything to back it up.

This is definitely useful but I'm not sure it is up to date/complete. For example, the spreadsheet says ingress-nginx does not have authentication support, but according to the docs it has support for basic, client cert, external basic, and external oauth. But this info is easy to miss because it is hidden in the "examples" section of the docs.

Which, by the way, is another hindrance for potential competitors.
Product Hunt gets a new CEO, Ryan Hoover steps down
Anyone who has tried to purchase anything from GM that wasn't a truck or an econobox knows that they never make enough cars that people actually want to buy (or more accurately, cars the I want to buy). So I'm not surprised GM sold out of e-Hummers, they're probably making all of six of them.

I'm sure there's some MBA-speak that explains it, like keep supply low on halo vehicles to make the overall GM brand seem appealing. But the end result has been that I've owned one GM car about 30 years ago (Geo Prizm), and only because my parents worked for GM and got a substantial discount. Since then, I've just kind of given up on them. Even if they make something I like, they won't make enough of them.
2FA would be ideal, but GeoIP restriction requires no action on the part of the end-user. If implemented properly, Twitter should have been alerted that something was fishy when an IP from the Netherlands sent a successful login password and prevented it, then e-mailed the user to ask if the login attempt was legitimate. It saved my butt once when Gmail prevented an IP originating in India from logging into my account and alerted me.
How many private rail freight companies are there in Europe? The railfreight firms I know are all semi or fully state backed.

As for the innovation thing, the report I quoted literally says they can't keep up with road innovation. It doesn't say there are no new ideas in railways ever, but, who in SBB or DB is really going to go the extra mile to fight for some cool new idea? Truck firms are far smaller and there are way more of them, so people can conceivably get ahead by doing things differently (doesn't need to be tech innovation).
Average US Credit Scores Hit a High – But It's Not What It Seems
I wasn't even attacking their positioning of advertisements among results. I was more saying that I think one of their larger signals (that we know of) PageRank has some consequences in terms of presenting things like a well linked and referenced GitHub result as a top result instead of an actual striped shirt. They do a really good job of filtering out garbage but in terms of contextual relevance it doesn't work out so well.

Edit: I'll also point out that it may not even be a modern PageRank fault but a consequence of learning to rank or some other major signal but it's in line with what I would suppose to be the culprit.
It's far more likely that this article is fake.
This might work if you're the kind of person to continue manually checking and caring for the battery pack, but it's not good advice for the average hobbyist.

The crucial missing detail is that battery packs are assembled from identically matched cells, which age together as a unit. As soon as you replace a single cell with a new cell of the exact same model, or a new cell of a different capacity and charge characteristics, that cell will charge differently than the rest of the battery pack. This results in an unbalanced charge situation.

If the battery pack has a battery management system with leads in between each cell to balance the pack, this might work. The BMS can drain off excess charge from the unbalanced cells and convert it to heat.

If the battery pack does not have a BMS, the unbalanced charge situation can lead to pack failure, with varying degrees of smoke and flame depending on the battery chemistry.

When in doubt, play it safe and just get a new battery pack.
I don't know which camp the GP falls into but I'll be charitable and assume they're just being silly.

You are correct. I have only very rarely in my life given fig one about offending strangers.
The irony is that the honest users won't expend a lot of effort evading, while the scummier users will (and have a much easier time of it, since they've done it 100 times before).

In this way anti-fraud filters sometimes act as pro-fraud filters: False positives kill honest use, and dishonest use finds a way.
Traversing the Nat

I think what you're missing is that a vanishingly small proportion of the population actually earns enough to pay income tax and there's a breathtakingly huge number of relatively poor folks. A lot of services are massively subsidised for these folks but there's a billion of them.

The whole Indian railways network is massively subsidized but it's doubtful anyone on HN would travel by anything other than air conditioned if indeed they travel by train (eg. I've never travelled by train after i began working).

In many states, basic groceries are effectively free. The less well off folks buy from these, the "middle class" shops from private traders. However there's a massive number of the less well off.

Not saying there's no corruption, but the scale of the problem is massive.
