You're thinking like a politician, whose law is a hammer and who sees every issue as a nail. Before regulating, let's see if the free market can't work it out way better by itself. And indeed it can, it's called competition.

Amazon itself claims to be "customer centric" because customer trust ensures sales go up in the long term much better than short gain of abusing the customer relationship. Look at this very thread for more evidence.

Maybe if you didn't need an army of lawyers fighting bureaucracy to found the tiniest company a competitor would already have beaten them. Maybe that's why Amazon feels it can afford this kind of business practices. Your intentions are good but your solutions are not.

Yes, about 65 percent in the Senate, but what of it? The vast majority of older white men are not politicians, so this would not seem an effective way to reach them—it seems irrelevant to mention it. And if it is , in fact, politicians Facebook wants to reach why is it only the old white male ones? Surely Facebook wants to reach politicians of all demographics.
Sir Isaac Newton, President of the Royal Society, an outsider? The same guy who published laws of motion and helped develop calculus, yet did not publish any of his religious or alchemic studies is a kook? I'm not sure what point you're making here.
Ah, sorry about that.

Edit -

Preparing each meal everyday is time consuming but I view it as the best investment in my family's life. We rarely get sick, if so its a day (a cold) when the weather changes. We sleep a solid 8 hours a day, and only go to the doctor for our yearly health check-ups. We also highly active naturally so this factors into it.
High taxation on wealth and high spending on the poor didn't start with the New Deal (the US lagged here) and didn't end with it.
Agreed. Same as 2008 crash. The executives that made these decisions are most likely ending up ahead on their fat salaries. We’ve got to hold decision makers accountable.

Hi, great questions!
1) Yes you're right - the 'big quad thing', a.k.a rocket carrier a.k.a gondola, stabilizes the heading of the rocket.
2) It does not necessarily imply that, but yes that would be a great way to do it so that the rocket control system doesn't need to correct for the tumble.
3) There are multiple ways to pitch up the rocket, and you are right that one of them is to use the props. Alternatives are to have thrusters on the rocket or have gimballing on the rocket nozzle. All are viable approaches.
4) This is a complex question as we have many variables to play with, such as choice of launch altitude, size and design of propellers, etc.

Track Active Weather with NOAA's New Radar Viewer
.016% of the images they scanned were malicious.

the rest of that 51% had vulnerabilities of some sort.

now, while I understand the value of these analysis tools, I dislike these hyperbole they put around them.

why?

many of those vulnerabilities might be in the base image that is not actually actively used. now, this isn't great, a point of docker is to limit your base environment, but people do take fatter based images in order to make their life easier.

Lets take an example, imagine you have a base image with curl installed. the application actually never uses curl or libcurl itself, but the version of curl installed has a cve against it (perhaps even a critical one). is this a "good" situation. Not really, but the application itself as provided by the docker image isn't really vulnerable in practice as it doesn't use curl.

But, all these vulnerability scanning tools have no way to determine if curl is used or not, so they just scream "security vulnerability". Where a more nuanced take would be, the application probably isn't vulnerable due to curl being installed, but it probably be better to create a leaner image.
I just built a new office PC for my lady as a holiday gift. Most components were pretty fairly priced but I paid way more than expected for a Ryzen CPU with the integrated Radeon graphics near the price point I wanted to keep the build at. It's still a great build compared to what I'm replacing but that CPU markup was a shock, and I'm happy to not have to add a GPU to the mix.
It isn't bad per-se. The bad thing is when it would be a bug if a value is null, but the language still allows it to be a null.

By verifying that only the values for which it would be valid for it to be null are ever null, you can catch a large category of bugs automatically. You can catch even more bugs if the language forces you to check whether the value is null if you are dealing with a value that is allowed to be null.
It seems like you think that Lard is axiomatically unhealthy, which may have been a common view 20 years ago, but no longer is.

Lard doesn't contain trans fats, which is what fast food is full of.

Lard is a time-tested animal product that has been used by many long-lived civilizations. "trans fats" wasn't a thing until ~20 years ago, so basically science is catching up with the implicit knowledge people have had for thousands of years.

https://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/nutrition/2013/...

Lard is definitely healthier than processed oils, e.g. vegetable oil in the supermarket.

I eat food cooked with lard before I eat fast food or industrial cooking, every time. (and I lost significant weight in the last 3 years, so I'm medically "normal", which is 20-30% percentile -- i.e. most people are heavier than me)

Ditto for butter -- natural, whole fats were "out of fashion" 20 years ago because of incorrect nutritional knowledge foisted upon you by interested parties. Again, there are many mainstream books that cover these topics, like Pollan's.

---

And as much as these comparisons make sense, I would say that lard is also healthier than a cereal with the following ingredients:

Whole Oat Flour, Wheat Starch, Sorghum Berry Bran, Modified Corn Starch, Brown Sugar, Salt, Tricalcium Phosphate, Tripotassium Phosphate, Mixed Tocopherols (Vitamin E) added to maintain freshness.

The sugar, salt, and preservatives gives me pause. I believe that unprocessed sugars like honey, maple syrup, and dried fruit are easier for the body to metabolize, and I don't think that's very controversial these days.

So I eat granola without preservatives or much added sugar instead (although you can be tricked by concentrated apple or pear juice, etc. which is basically sugar). You have to pay about double, and it rules out about 50% of what's on the shelves at Whole Foods, and maybe 80% at Safeway. But I think it's cheaper in the long term.
>Otherwise, Clojure is an excellent language which both modernises Lisp syntax significantly and implements a very well thought out standard library for doing functional programming. There are many great features, but the standout ones are probably the persistent data structures (which syntactically act both as data structures and functions) and parallelism/concurrency support. It's also very natural to do interop with the host platforms (Java

Absolutely everything mentioned above in this quote is available in Common Lisp as well by just loading the needed libraries.

>Another issue has to do with startup time. The Clojure application bootstrap process is relatively slow, i.e. start-up might take 1 second,

>The main issue with Clojure is probably its tight integration with the various host platforms. When you get a stack trace in Clojure/ClojureScript, you basically get a Java or JavaScript stack trace, so there is some expectation of familiarity with the host platform.

Correct. And there are no such problems in Common Lisp. Except if you want to execute CL in a JVM, in which case the available implementation, ABCL, does take a slow time to start. Otherwise it's a great implementation.
Yes because one is meat and the other is not meat.
Have you tried biphasic sleep? A cycle with one 2-7am sleep and a significant afternoon sleep (don't call it a nap-- at least 90 minutes) would get you enough sleep. It's easier to carve out that 90 minutes than it is to change all the things you need to change to shift your natural cycle.

This is something a pornstar elucidated for me on Eric Weinstein's podast[0] - note, he goes out of his way to keep the discussion "PG" so as to be listenable to as many people as possible. Payment procecessors are a de-facto regulator and skew conservative.

If government coffers are a barrel with a bunch of holes in it, and taxes are water pouring into the barrel, why are we constantly fixated on increasing the rate of water entering the barrel, and not on plugging the holes water is spilling onto the ground on? The government is notoriously wasteful with tax money, so why are we unable to incentivize more efficient usage of existing taxes vs. increasing tax income?

It's like a software developer who always adds more and more RAM to their PCs and always frames the problem in terms of how much more RAM they need to make things work instead of taking some time to close a couple thousand chrome tabs.

I have been one of those "Experience coupling" eaters (eating while reading) and decided to try and experiment on myself last month. I decided to no longer eat while reading, watching TV, browsing my phone, etc.

I noticed I ate much less than I would usually eat, enough to stick to 1500 calories a day rather easily.
I was living in Manhattan when the fancy Chase Sapphire came out. It was genuinely shocking to me how many people I knew switched to Chase just to get the new card design. To be fair, it did look and feel exponentially better than any other cards around at the time.
I wonder if this is why Mercurial is so much simpler and easier to understand than Git -- precisely because Git was forced to adopt a more "out there" approach. Personally I'm sad Git won out over Mercurial -- the latter is a much better technology from my experience.

Mostly agree, after all, our food is heavily "processed" in our digestive system, so it's possible many of the things we think 'unprocessed' foods provide do not survive the stomach. That said, I don't think we know this 100%. Sure, we have mapped essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients enough to know what keeps an organism alive, but there may be other things gained by consuming, say, minimally processed cellular material.

Again, on the other hand, some foods require processing to extract necessary nutrients(i.e. nixtamalization of corn).
I agree, I try to use Target or Walmart's websites to buy direct from them (and their supply chain) when I don't trust Amazon's risk of getting a counterfeit. I'm not looking for 3rd party sellers.

Amazon seems to have the best shipping/logistics (with Prime membership) and it's not even close for any other retailer. Walmart is OK, but Target has some really confusing triple selection that is really off putting (choosing between In Store, Same Day, and Shipping).
There is no direct language about cookies in article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. What we have is Opinion 04/2012 on Cookie Consent Exemption of the Article 29 Working Group of the European Commission about Cookie Consent, which elaborates about the topic:

https://ec.europa.eu/justice/article-29/documentation/opinio...

(The §29 WG is now replaced by the European Data Protection Board, but that seems not to have issued any more current Guidelines or Opinions on that matter. Also: IANAL.)
> That's a nice just-so story, but it's not supported by the evidence.

Here is the evidence:

It is supported by the evidence.

> You can read for yourself in the original paper, but the authors used a pretty sophisticated approach to measuring taxes:

So sophisticated a model that it can measure the impact of a change in tax revenues that didn't meaningfully occur?
When I had one, updates via System Prefs worked just as fine.
For porn and “gaming” (gambling) there aren’t many other places to register which is why you have these companies in places like Cyprus, Malta or Gibraltar it’s not necessarily for tax avoidance (although they surely do that too) but primarily to avoid harassment and legal issues that can arise from being registered most other nations.
That doesn't sound like good news at all. I have a habit to archive my system updates in case of network failure or other non connected scenario. In my mind this is mandatory. Good thing is that I have stored everything Catalina related and plan not to update any of my current computers with next version of Apple software.
On other hand I am profoundly thankful for this reality. Apple finally has shown their true colours and no form of hardware or software advancement will push me to use their products. Can you imagine the world without Linux or BSD alternatives? What a nightmare.
Thankfully the Little Snitch and VPN fiasco was the final point for me and migration to Debian/KDE is flawless.
That sounds extremely risky for PayPal. They're effectively shorting bitcoin by doing that. If the price rises dramatically they have to just come up with that money out of their own coffers. If they buy bitcoin they can merely liquidate it and pay you the proceeds when you sell your paypalcoins.
There is a lot of wiggle room in "provide the service requested"
Long lasting improvement compared to a control group?

Depression studies are basically useless without a control group. In any given depression cohort, a number of patients will spontaneously improve even if they receive placebo or no treatment at all. For many (lucky) people, depressive episodes simply resolve after some time, so capturing them in studies without control groups can produce misleading results.

APT means Advanced Persistent Threat and is usually the term used for nation-state actors.
I dont understand what is secretive about Pornhub and Mindgeek, it is pretty obvious that Redtube, Pornhub, Youporn,... belongs to the same entity as there is a banner at the top named "PornHub network".

There are several Pornhub employees, reading HN, answering questions same happens on Reddit, they are pretty transparent actually.

I don't understand why we need those articles making feel like we are in science fiction. If you want really secret businesses look into dating apps or Google/Facebook ads

Edit: and just to add, imagine how hard is it to run pornhub. Even though watching porn is one of the most common leisure in the world. Nobody want to work with them, nobody want to rent them servers, nobody want to sell them their ads, nobody want to be their payment processor ,... because porn is taboo. So yeah they probably have to find tricky ways to do things. At the end of the day they only make 500m of revenu, which is nothing, Tinder only is making 3-4 times that.
Most likely, yes, but it's not necessarily the case. We could pitch the rocket up slightly if it helps to achieve a specific target trajectory.

I developed for myself krlx.fr/feu-analytics/ for exactly the same scenario.

It is self-hosted but on firebase and taking advantage of the free tier. Of course there is no personal data collected at any point.

Paradoxically, the more gross the failure, the less responsibility large organizations seem to take. Thinking of Equifax, or PG&E and the wildfires.

Maybe this is the real rotten core that needs changing. Orgs need to be held to account. And that points to an even deeper core -> we are the ones who need to change, to actually hold orgs to account.
So there's not "no air" but rather just low pressure. The props can be designed to work at certain high altitudes, although they will be less effective at higher altitudes. But this only means that it takes longer to change the yaw of the gondola to the desired heading.
Sure, dj-rest-auth + simple-jwt implements JWT with http-only cookies by default, which I have embraced. Except that when you refresh the token, it no longer returns and http-only cookie (it returns the access token in the response body) due to an issue with how the two aforementioned libs interoperate. So the dev has to patch that in manually with their own code, otherwise the full token cycle is not http-only. Isn't that weird?

Other issues include wiring some routes (urls, as Django calls them) so that they properly triggered password reset emails.

I want to insist that none of this has been the end of the world, and extend my eternal gratitude to the authors of the libs, but I guess I was shocked to encounter this in a framework as mature as Django (I've moved to it in search of stability compared to the Node.js ecosystem, which I feel is the wild west in some respects and not as suitable for the types of web apps I develop)

The other (more time-consuming) issues have been with implementing the front-end bits like I mentioned. An axios interceptor for refresh tokens, state management with Redux, the views (ugh, I love writing React but I really don't want to create another login form).

I'll definitely take a look at your React code tomorrow, and I may be able to provide some additional feedback (and maybe steal some ideas too)

Also, I want to commend your effort in marketing / comms - I've seen you both on Reddit and here, and this second impression on HN is what has prompted me to comment. Tbh first time I saw you on Reddit I thought this was more of a toy project but here on HN it's definitely clicked that you guys are serious.

I've starred you on Github, I'm watching for new releases, and I'll mention you to my friends, but I think you should definitely keep up your active communication efforts - it's worked for me at least.

Again, best of luck, and greetings from Spain!
Even the last prime day was full of crap listings. I stopped spending much and moved to greener pastures (eg brick+mortar shopping, or used professional stuff on classified ads and even fixing stuff instead of rebuying...). Started to learn brazing and so on during lockdown for example.

The only thing that matters is people didn’t buy it. It wasn’t a success.
This seems like a huge failure to correctly price products if there are actual shortages and people standing in line (except maybe on launch day, that might be good publicity). The gaming market seems very elastic on the demand side, few people actually _need_ a new rig urgently, so an increase in price could effectively limit the initial demand and get them to people who need/want them most while increasing margins for manufacturers or sellers.

As it is now private middlemen take that profit, presumably by standing in said lines wasting a lot of time. And buyers now have to trust some rando on ebay to actually ship a 2k$ graphics card. That is not an optimal outcome.
If you've never read it before, I highly recommend reading David Sirlin's Playing to Win.

Specifically the chapter "Introducing... the Scrub" discusses exactly this sentiment.

http://www.sirlin.net/ptw-book/introducingthe-scrub

> In Street Fighter, the scrub labels a wide variety of tactics and situations “cheap.” This “cheapness” is truly the mantra of the scrub. Performing a throw on someone is often called cheap. A throw is a special kind of move that grabs an opponent and damages him, even when the opponent is defending against all other kinds of attacks. The entire purpose of the throw is to be able to damage an opponent who sits and blocks and doesn’t attack. As far as the game is concerned, throwing is an integral part of the design—it’s meant to be there—yet the scrub has constructed his own set of principles in his mind that state he should be totally impervious to all attacks while blocking. The scrub thinks of blocking as a kind of magic shield that will protect him indefinitely.

> So why didn't they do that before? If there is one thing I know about the rich it's that they won't pass up an oportunity to earn more.

There is some number x that is the minimum net profit after tax that entrepreneurs/investors will accept depending on how much pain in the butt the business is to take on.

This number stays the same whether taxes and wages go up or not. People just don't take on new projects unless what they can put in their pockets at the end of the day is actually worth their time and effort.

If taxes or wages go up, the prices must go up in kind for x to stay the same. If that doesn't happen, then entrepreneur/investor interest declines and eventually competition and supply decreases along with it. If that happens, then again, prices go up.
