It is easily 10x harder to migrate from on-prem to a cloud, than it is to migrate between clouds. The big cloud providers are all functionally REALLY similar, if you're mostly using the big components:

- Object storage is basically identical, often even down to common API wrappers

- VMs are VMs

- Kubernetes is Kubernetes. Containers are containers.

- EMR is Dataproc is whatever Azure has

- BigQuery is Redshift is whatever Azure provides. It's big SQL. Whatever.

Like, I'm not saying there isn't a cost, or it's pain-free... but you're not re-engineering everything when you migrate. You're finding fiddly difference between platforms, and if you're an enterprise, your new cloud provider would LOVE to help you with that migration.
> The Dutch used to be a lot more tolerant in the past.

And before that a lot less tolerant. And before THAT, a lot more tolerant. And back and forward, for many many years. Amsterdam has a rich history of going between liberal and more close minded, and will probably continue doing so.
Yes, there is need for a central authority, Charles Ponzi for example. They actively and consciously channel the funds from new, defrauded investors, to that authority.

BTC is not a Ponzi Scheme ; Satoshi is not steering the profits from a pump-and-dump. Passively profiting off new investors buying BTC does not make a Ponzi Scheme.

Market manipulation is not a Ponzi Scheme. A Pyramid Scheme is not a Ponzi Scheme. "Ponzi Scheme" has a real definition.
Well some systems make good programming really difficult. Stored procedures, especially back then.... Yeah.
Ask HN: Hacked IG Marketing Account
Hey HN!

My girlfriend's Instagram account recently got hacked after engaging in a dispute over a post. I want to clarify that she wrote nothing offensive. Anyways, this IG account was not her personal account, it was an account that she had created and had been working on for over 3 years now, and was constantly working hard to thus far accumulate 12k followers, eventually she planned to use this account to launch a product that she has been working on for several years.

The hacker hacked into her account and deleted it. The hacker also hacked into her FB account leaving an IP address to the location, not sure if it's a true IP or from a VPN. We reached out to Facebook (since they own Instagram) hoping that we could somehow recover the Instagram account knowing that's a long shot since Instagram has no way of contacting them. We do want to try to catch the hacker and try to file a lawsuit. Any ideas on what to do HN world?

I also read that Instagram accounts are not permanently deleted until 30 days, any ideas on how to get in touch with them before it's permanently deleted since we have not heard back from FB?
I wonder what the paper was about? Maybe she'll publish it anyway, or at least make it public?
I know of no reason we'd not support the first, though feel free to run that by us formally if you want explicit permission in writing (which presumably a rideshare platform large enough to have a leasing operation would).

No, it's a narrow mentality of what a product is. If you are writing code, that code interacts with humans in some way. It might not be a consumer or even B2B product, it might be strictly an embedded library that interacts with nothing except other code, but even that should be designed to meet the needs of the other programmers who have to interact with it.

A lot of programmers want to be handed concrete requirements so they can focus solely on implementation, but in practice this leads to gaps. A programmer who thinks beyond their immediate scope to the end-to-end context and human players involved where their code is executed will deliver far more value and avoid so many common disasters that happen when non-technical people are solely responsible for requirements.

This is easy. You made an analogy to stocks and ignored the entire universe of investments and other asset classes.

Doesn't that tell you all you need to know?

There is a decade old meme of getting stock market gurus to comment about crypto and their sycophants repeating their predictably abysmal view of something outside of their wheelhouse.

Commodities traders never had an issue and volatility is also not an issue in that market. There are no “permabulls” in commodities outside of a few rare metals, and trading in those markets primarily factors in seasonal and cyclical supply and demand.

Buy and hold works ok in some crypto assets. But the permabulls that never traded anything else, and the stock market investors that keep a stock certificate their grandma gave them 20 years ago should just not be in this market.

You are conflating “good” investment vehicle with “valid” investment vehicle, where its a mixture of whether being a permabull works alongside whether enough institutions that you respect have said positive things. make your own choices about what you want to trade.

Unless I'm missing something this is not an apples to apples benchmark. TimescaleDB is running as a single node without any replication whereas Amazon Timestream is replicated[0] to three AWS Availability Zones for durability. I've only skimmed the TSBS[1] repo and the start/stop scripts for TimescaleDB. Can someone confirm this?

The Call of Duty, Destiny (and I believe Overwatch and some other Activision games) backend is written by Demonware, which was acquired by Activision years ago. According to their website (https://demonware.net/)

We have a commitment to open source. Our core technologies are Python, Erlang, C++, and MySQL.

Epic Games has Epic Games services, which is a set of backend services that includes matchmaking, achievements, peer to peer networking, lobbies, etc. Apparently Fortnite runs on Epic Games services. Consoles and Steam have similar backends.

All of these backend services use variations on standard web stacks that, from what I can tell, don't look radically different than the variance you'd see among startups or big tech. Here is a postmortem of a Fortnite outage that talks about some of their tech stack, for example https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/postmortem-of-.... They use MongoDB, Java, JAXRS, Redis, AWS, etc. All tech familiar to "mainstream" (web) software engineers.

One thing that is different is game clients (which are obviously real-time 3D engines), and specifically game servers, which are either peers or headless server versions of the game. These run game sessions once matchmaking is resolved and connect to a fixed (usually 4-128) number of players in that given session. Sometimes the backend and game server code is more tightly intertwined, for example in an MMORPG or a Destiny style "shared world" game where matchmaking happens on the fly based on the player's location in the world. There are a variety of services that will help manage hosting game servers (Multiplay, Playfab, etc.) but most of them end up running on "standard" Cloud compute providers (Azure, AWS, GCP). Ultimately the only non "mainstream" thing about running large multiplayer games is the game engine piece.
Too many people expecting too perfect of behavior from someone apparently put it a shitty situation by much more powerful forces.

If you cross borders your transaction might get stuck. Also some institutions will refuse to send or receive from less popular counterparties. Combine that with all the anti-money laundering regulations and KYC laws everywhere making a bureaucratic mess.

In Swift it's common to specify a routing/intermediary entity which usually is a bigger bank or a branch in NYC/London to work around this mess. And surprise, you get terrible FX rates and magic fees on both ends. One transaction this year across my own accounts took 4 business days and cost ~$40, within the same continent across two top 10 banks. Now I do everything with TransferWise and it's much better. Hopefully soon I'll just use crypto. It's my own hard earned money, damnit. Fingers crossed.

Or perhaps encourage "container for life" storage with refill machines. e.g. purchase a long-lasting detergent container, and refill it at a detergent dispensing machine.

Otherwise you'd need to provide an easy way or sorting returned containers (by type) so they go back into circulation. Maybe QR-codes on bottles and "smart bins" that pay you for disposing of them?
Some people used to think that “woman needed to be woman” and “blacks needed to be blacks”. I would categorically argue that nothing, absolutely nothing good came out of that sort of thinking.

I basically agree with this but I just want to add that if everyone decides to increase the total amount of bitcoins or change the inflation controls in some way, that can be done.

The cool thing about bitcoin is that this is a shared decision made by everyone.

Ok, technically, it is made by the groups contributing the majority of compute power to the network. And technically, central governments can be representative of everyone and therefor enable that same shared decision making but that's kind of a bigger discussion.

The point is, changing the network to "add more" BTC is probably much more likely than breakthrough replicator technology that can turn hydrogen atoms into gold atoms.
Good point! The "whites and blacks" division and even the word racism are very Western and assume a context of colonisation. I bet there are many omissions like that in all the countries Facebook operates in, and doesn't know much about.
Nope. Games usually opt for deeper pipelining to help keep framerates higher if they are making any choice at all. They usually just run at whatever rate they run at, and don't really do "latency tuning." Which is where products like AMD's Anti-Lag ( https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/radeon-software-anti-lag ) and Nvidia's Reflex ( https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/reflex-low-latency... ) enter the picture to just give games a library to help with latency instead.

> I think it's a bit unfair to lump Linux in there since it's been running on ARM and other embedded, low-power devices basically forever, but it is true that few of us run our Linux desktop on an ARM board.

We aren't running ARM on our desktops because there aren't ARM desktops for us to use. The market jumps from low-end boards like the Pi and Pine's lineups - which are excellent for what they are, but suffer from poor performance and I/O - to the high end where ex. https://www.asacomputers.com/Cavium-ThunderX-ARM.html looks like a nice system but $2,820 is a bit of a barrier to entry.
> I believe in the fundamentals of investing in stocks because in all it's technicality (and given the buy-and-hold strategy), you are investing in a business by owning a part of it which naturally means that you will and do get the returns on it, both in terms of profits (dividends) and and value growth (appreciation of the stock value). And conventional wisdom of lending also applies to bonds.

Except that is not technically true. Unless buying stocks purely for dividends, you are investing in a secondary market of shares and the "value" you're talking about is the expected value the other secondary market participants will appraise the stock for, independent of the company's operations. There is only a directional correlation because there is a tacit assumption between the investors to equivocate between the two. If you look at the historical trends of P/E of S&P composite price index, prices have gone way more up than the actual earnings.[1] so there is an element of wishful self-deception here.

Consider this; bitcoin might one day build enough track record to prove itself a good enough investment for a large amount of people, and then the stock market will have to seriously compete with this non-derivative instrument for investment money of those people, which will reduce the price of stocks in aggregate, independent of the "value" of underlying company performances.

If you take that into account, crypto-or-not a currency is simply another instrument which we bet for the future expected value for gains. In fact, while the value of traditional currencies are backed by their purchasing power performance in a given market, crypto currencies theoretically don't have that limit because it has unlimited supranational reach.

Mind you, US stock markets have at most one century of roughly-comparable historical data, and that is just not enough sample size to make 30-50 year assumptions (speaking for retirement buy-and-hold strategies).

The answer is yes, but this would be a lot harder.

To gain trust of your audience, you can first help them in online forum / slack where they hang out online. You can start by answering question they ask, and take note of the question and "why" they asked this question (eg: why do they ask this on the forum? what are they trying to achieve). Once you have helped enough people, and visibly online in public, you will start gaining trust of them, and you would notice pattern of the common question asked by your audience (which means reoccuring pain), then you can start building a product based on this pain, and you can be confident that this would sell as this actually solve a pain the audience is facing.

A shortcut for finding an audience which you can help quickly, is to choose audience which have the same occupation / profession as you.
At a previous job I was at 2007-2014, we were doing classified ads[1] we had a lot of logic in stored procedures in our Postgres database written in pl/pgsql. It made sense at the time, but after a while these got really unwieldy and deploying things got tricky, since you we needed to update both appserver code and database stored procs at the same time. There also wasn't a great way to update stored procs at the time - we built this into an RPM that just ran a postinstall script to do an atomic swap.

I wouldn't build this into the database were I to build it today.

I'm not sure if the code example changed on the linked page after your comment, but I see this code:

#!/bin/bash
if exec 3>/dev/tcp/localhost/4000 ; then
echo "server up!"
else
echo "server down."
fi

Which also confused me for similar reasons to your comment. I'm not familiar with exec, but generally non-zero return means a fail, and zero means success. So why is the "server up" for non-zero result?
I can see some of those being in effect in the short term (not lockdowns for any and every public health problem - that would be suicidal) but assuming the COVID vaccine works out, I see no reason for any of them to be in effect in the long term.
And yet when more recent measures were taken to reduce cigarette smoking without actually banning it outright, those measures were pretty effective. They haven't done this for alcohol, let alone marijuana.

>I’m always amazed at how people can continue to do thing after thing like this and then turn around and ask me for some sort of extra DEI work or input. This happened to me last year. I was in the middle of a potential lawsuit for which Kat Herller and I hired feminist lawyers who threatened to sue Google (which is when they backed off--before that Google lawyers were prepared to throw us under the bus and our leaders were following as instructed) and the next day I get some random “impact award.” Pure gaslighting.

I think if you threaten to sue your employer, the employer isn't too much at fault and just covering their own neck when you later threaten to resign and they take you up on that offer.
"Cocaine should be legal everywhere. It's not, though, so this is a stupid idea."

I have to disagree.

I don't know if it's part of the plan, but if cocaine were to become legal in Colombia, then Colombia could become a destination for cocaine tourism, just as the Netherlands became a destination for marijuana tourism.

That could result in a lot of tourism revenue (as has been the case for the Netherlands and other countries which legalized drugs).

In addition, legalizing cocaine would end organized crime's involvement in cocaine production in Colombia, which would be a huge improvement for the lives of Colombians and for their government and legal system, which are all currently detrimentally impacted by said organized crime and the horrific and widespread violence and corruption that it causes.

The increased safety of Colombia, once organized crime is reduced would make it even more desirable as a tourist destination, which would bring in even more tourism revenue.

Add to that all the tax revenue that would come from taxing legal cocaine, and the financial incentives for legalizing cocaine become even greater.

This sounds like very far from a bad idea, and is in fact the exact same reasoning that was used to legalize drugs in other places all over the world and, to my knowledge, in all cases where this has happened it's been a net positive.

We got hit hard here and New Yorkers are tending to take it seriously going forward. You see really sharp mask compliance, you can actually get a test and a result in a day, and they give out free masks everywhere. Doing a little traveling recently it just kind of seemed that other parts of the country were effing around, kind of going through the motions, but people would be weird about masks, focus on odd things like putting shrink wrap on food between the kitchen and the table, stuff like that. There were a couple weeks here in April where it just seemed like the city was dead and people remember that.
That sounds like the weight of the whole thing, not just the suspended part.
