For comparison, Auth0 also charges for active users, but 10k MAUs would put you at $228.

I know some established companies and well-funded startups can pay that without batting an eye, but it seems non-viable for a lot of projects.
SuperTokens looks really cool and I'm glad it's open source, however, I think the big "blue ocean" here for self-hosted auth systems vs. AWS Cognito and Auth0 are security compliance.

Many large orgs with data requirements need things like ISO 27001, FedRAMP, etc. If you build with a product like SuperTokens and then need to meet these requirements later in your development lifecycle, you'll have to:

a. switch to Cognito/Auth0 for ISO, and for FedRAMP you can only use Cognito.

b. modify SuperTokens by learning NIST requirements (costs engineer time, developers might not know Java)

c. you can make your own, but that defeats the purpose for these systems (costs more time than b)

I feel an "Enterprise" (paid) option by SuperTokens where security compliance is handled, with still the option for self-hosting, would be a massive win.
Have you done either

Not at all, I just like to follow the industry. It's a fascinating time to be a spectator from the sidelines.

I'm perfectly happy with the "aggressive" setting on my retirement fund, paying 0.08% annual fee (that's $0.80 per $1,000) with an average return of 7%-10% over the last 20 years. I'll wind it down to less aggressive as I get older.

Apart from that, I have little trust in myself to, on average, make decisions that will outperform the above. My tolerance for risk of that sort is pretty low, and I'm not particularly motivated by money beyond the comfortable lifestyle I have now: It's zero debt, will see college tuition paid for my 3 kids, a reasonable retirement ready in a few more decades, and some assets to leave to my children to make their lives slightly easier when I ultimately pass away. I guess I'd like to have more money, but it's not a burning desire and I don't see a path to it that doesn't risk either quality of life, lots of stress, or both.
This is really cool. Thanks for making it.

Thinking on how I would use it, I appreciate free tier, but I think once things get more involved, I might actually do self hosting, which leaves you without income.

I would see about that, otherwise it is cool. If you can't make money, then just when we start using it, you might decide this is not worth pursuing and it wouldn't be good for everyone.

Wish you the best.

This is my go-to video for anyone looking to learn git. It won't teach you the various commands on the command line but it shows you what is actually happening inside git when you perform various actions. It made me transition from "I know how to run these commands to operate git" to "I know what git is doing, so I can reason about the system and adapt to unusual circumstances". Now when someone makes a mistake in my company's git, I am the person people go to for help.
Coinbase, and to some degree, Binance, have such a stranglehold on the market that any coin listing on these exchanges immediately causes them to rise anywhere from 100-500%.

New projects will even tease "Binance listing coming!" to build up hype for their projects.

And Binance is still not as selective as Coinbase. A Coinbase listing is a marker of legitimacy for any crypto project.

This reputation alone makes Coinbase a very valuable buy.
You mean fazed?
Wouldn't this kind of thing generally be coming straight from the manufacturer, or at least a fairly dominant seller for the product? Since they're paying for 5-star reviews of the product.

Yea I’m not either but I tend to find through personal experience that PhDs specifically can be uniquely inept at doing common, basic things.

And there’s a tendency towards disagreeable temperament. Their narrow theoretical expertise ends up translating into an inability to contextualize that wealth of information and understanding.

And there’s an inherent conflict with others’ values.

Someone who’s devoted themselves to field X will be constantly frustrated to find that others don’t place it above everything else.

Throwaway because of my suspect behaviour.

I have actually emailed the people on these cards out of curiosity. The range of rewards has been refunds, steep discounts and free products.

I am now on some lists and I can get regular free stuff. Sometimes I just write the review and give the product away to friends and family. Sometimes they ask you to mark certain reviews as helpful.

While unethical, the few types of things I’ve done this for have been ... kinda good actually. Even if I paid for them. So I don’t feel so bad recommending the product.
Top tips to optimize communication in a software project
You seem to have missed some words in your second paragraph. What were they? One, I guess, is doctor.
The reason why desktop Linux is so bad has not very much to do with it being free software, but instead it's more of a political problem which many open source proponents still haven't understood.

Everyone seems to point to Linux as the best model of open source community that managed to outgrow and outpace any commercial offering. Why is that?

The secret sauce for any project, open source or not, that can grow as fast as successfully as Linux is the presence of a BDFL at the top. The one that sets the vision, that pushes back again anything that would impact negatively from that vision and, yikes, might reject patches people have spent their free time on. Blender and Godot are other fully open source project that are competing with commercial offerings, and all have either a BDFL or a very close-knit governance model at the top, that is not afraid to take the next step and find sources of funding for its own full time developers.

All of which is opposite to the governance model of the two biggest UI projects in the Linux desktop world, GNOME and KDE. It's a loose bunch of passionate people that work on whatever tickles the fancy right now, and if they get bored they'll just rewrite a core library or app, backward compatibility be damned, we're just volunteer we don't owe you anything.

We'd have Linux on the desktop in 2020 if any of those projects had some Torvalds-like figure ranting on a mailing list about why the user is always right, shame on you on redesigning the menubar yet again breaking any UI convention for no real purpose, and no, Canonical/Red Hat/whoever, we will not accept this patch that undermines the goals of this project.

So it's really got nothing to do with open source, it's just an organisational problem. Well, that, and the fact that the vast majority of Linux users seems to be incredibly stingy and reluctant to support and pay for these volunteers' time.
Sure - the problem isn't really on a technical level, it's the social problem of getting everyone to agree to adhere to one standard and then we can implement that in a single set of formats and tools.

RMS told a story about the introduction of a new printer at the AI lab. The gist was that the manufacturer of the new printer would not release the source code (which was also under claimed copyright). At the time, this was a novelty; code was released so that people could modify it to work with the rest of the hardware they happen to have.

The way RMS wrote of the event, I had the impression he felt shocked and betrayed. That was the inciting incident.

Solution: don't shop on Amazon.
Thanks for the encouragement :) We will be happy to help when you get started.
Amazon is right here. If such a review were allowed, the first people to exploit that would be the the scummy vendors themselves. They would post fake one-star reviews against competing products, claiming that all the good reviews of those products are from bribes.

Always consider the secondary effects, like back-scatter from replying to a spam e-mail to give them a piece of your mind!
They should, and probably stay closer to the rated cfm with a filter there. However now you need a 12 volt power supply instead of plugging into a normal outlet. Plus you need to design a housing for it.

Neither of these are hard problems for DIY, but they are not nearly as easy or quick as a cheap fan and some tape.
You must be thinking about AESAN countries alone, which have about $3 trillion GDP, but this free trade agreement also includes China ($13.6T), Japan ($5T) and Australia ($1.4T), placing it ahead of both USA ($20T) and EU ($15.6T)

That was my point - that China can just focus on trading with other Asian countries and be well. Especially if they someday manage to add India ($2.7T) to the mix.

Your current use case for Cognito is beyond what we currently offer or plan to in the near future. However, we'd appreciate it if you follow along and consider SuperTokens for projects where we would be relevant.

This seems to be an argument for not buying new computers.

I don’t entirely disagree with you. I would say that a lot of compute resources are used to make user interfaces more impressive, but not necessarily better than what could be done if we designed interfaces around lower resources.

However that isn’t what we’ve done.

Older computers often can’t run software that is useful today even if the software they could run when they were new still does the job. Things like file formats and web standards have moved on and are not backwards compatible, and a lot of what people use computers for is communication, so that matters.
Amazon doesn't really care about customers like the rest of FAANG.

So there are a few options for that if you're interested!

1. If you're using the KubernetesExecutor, you can point to custom images for individual tasks, this will primarily work if you're storing DAGs in git or a volume (or if you want to handle baking in DAGs for different images).

2. You can use custom images in KEDA queues. This way you can simply point to a queue for all tasks in that DAG and they will run in that environment.

3. You can use the k8spodoperator. Now that the k8spodoperator allows for templating, it would be pretty easy to create a template for a pod and just inject different commands for different steps.

Hope that helps!

You're oversimplifying the issue to unnecessarily devalue the "best and brightest", whoever you appear to be referring to, and are giving too much credit to state actors.

When organizations rely on hundreds to thousands of platforms to operate, and those platforms are under the weight of hundreds and thousands of dependencies, it's not unlikely one could discover and quickly take advantage of randomly sprinkled secrets in some github repository. Humans, weak passwords, and improperly configured ACL are often the common denominator in the majority of recent breaches, not the systems themselves. People get lazy and start overlooking well established protocols that could have prevented these attacks. It's hard to do this right unless you hire red teams to perform monthly audits of every possible leakage or attack vector.
People do this with Walmart and Amazon -- they list products at higher prices on Amazon and when people order it, they drop ship it from Walmart.

If being healthy is too much work then I guess obesity wins. I cannot imagine eating fast foods. Cooking is cheaper, besides the healthy thing. It's also FUN.

I mostly cook German stuff, some French, a little Chinese and a fair few BBQs in the summer. I have quick and easy things I make, and more elaborate stuff that tastes unlike anything you can buy ready-made.

I shop at local markets where you get to know the farmers, smallholders who sell what they grow. Food is way too important to me to not put the effort into it that I do.

Lastly, I'm not a health nut. I don't go to the gym. I see my GP once a year and age usually tells me to try get more sunlight in the winter but otherwise gives me a clean bill of health. I'm approaching 50 and sleep 8 hours most nights.

Yes, Amazon is a mess. I recently was fed up with the price of a beverage at the local overpriced Albertson's, $3 per tiny can. Decided to order a case on big A instead, to save some money.

Guess what, same price per can plus exorbitant shipping cost on Amzn. Came out to ~$5 a can and I had to buy 4 or 12 at a time. It just didn't make sense. I left a polite review that said as much, and it was rejected. :D
Programming is magic based on science. Without actuators/mech engines it won't go anywhere, its just ilusion proven or not.It may be known as a light drug development.The focus is on transfering numbers.
Money is another kind of ilusion, a kind that fakes demands. The focus is on increasing or decreasing numbers.
Both. Those in on the hustle will do the work to keep the site updated (making money in the process). Everyone else just uses it to spot fake reviews.
I have to assume you meant the Amazon product with the url suffix "dp/B087NN41JH/". This seems to be the highest reviewed result for search term "webcam", at least on my page.

Here on HN, we have a savvy audience that understands the problem on Amazon with counterfeits, fakes, and low-quality items. I don't usually have this problem myself, because I go out of my way to buy things from sellers that I recognize, such as Logitech for instance, which owns the top results for "webcam" even though they have fewer reviews and higher prices.

In your case, I think there are warning signs for the product in question. An unknown seller hawking a cheap knock-off looking webcam with a fake sale price... I really do not enjoy being the devil's advocate but, come on.

Amazon might reprimand the seller. They might even ban them. But if so, they will just pop back up over night with a new name. Their cheapo products are unlabelled, unbranded and modestly packaged for exactly this benefit.
It did nothing to me.
I think I'm actually paying MORE for chargers and cables now than before Amazon existed because the market is so flooded with garbage that it's hard to find a brand that isn't there just to mug you.

It's hilarious (or terribly sad) how we used to laugh at the the garbage house brands at stores like BestBuy, but now those are the "good quality" products on the market.

> Perhaps I'm having a Mandela Effect moment, but hasn't "trickle down" been debunked before this study...repeatedly?

The idea has been around in some form or another for a long time:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics#History...

The most recent reincarnation was known to be not very good economics from the get-go:

> What I want to talk about is when, exactly, the GOP went over the edge. Obviously it didn’t happen all at once. But I think the real watershed came in 1980-81, when supply-side economics became the party’s official doctrine.

> I’m not sure, even now, whether people who aren’t involved in economic policy discussion understand that supply-side wasn’t a doctrine like monetarism or even real business cycles — ideas I may think are wrong, but which had and to some extent still have significant support from professionals in the field. Supply-side economics never had any evidence behind it; it never had any support in academic research; it barely even had any support among economic researchers and forecasters in the business world. It was and remains crank economics pure and simple, with nothing going for it except political convenience.

> Yet 35 years ago the GOP was already willing to embrace this doctrine because it was politically convenient, and could be used to justify tax cuts for the rich, which have always been the priority.

> And given this, why should anyone be surprised at all the reality denial and trashing of any kind of evidence that followed? You say economics is a pseudo-science? Fine. First they came for the economists; then they came for the climate scientists and the evolutionary biologists.

This doesn’t seem like a question inviting genuine discussion. Tax laws don’t take into account how hard someone works, where they went to school, or a taxpayers character.

Unless your argument is that taxes should be based on factors outside of income/etc, it seems like you might be trying to bait people with some version of “Look how hard Steve works - you can’t possibly support raising taxes on him.”
:-)

Also recently I’ve been starting my IDs at `.11`. Same idea — sometimes you really want stuff to always appear ‘at the front’ and this lets you achieve that.

In the project system I’m setting up now, for example, we’re using the PMP methodology [0]. This very neatly divides up in to:

21 Scope
22 Schedule
23 Cost
...
29 Stakeholder

For each of these, you have a [x] Management Plan. They always sit at `2x.01`. Other mandatory artefacts will live in the zeros.

Then I won’t fill up the zeros, I’ll skip straight to .11 in each category for the things that are ‘personal’ to this particular project. I’m expecting that they will not be standard across projects.

This is a hepa replacement for one of the air purifiers you can buy. Just go to the store, find an air purifier, read the back of the box to see what filter it takes, then look up/down/over a shelf - they replacement filters are generally carried in the same aisle.
