Help undermine security measures taken against seditionists in another country. You don't have to worry about any of the consequences of civil strife because you don't live there. You just get to pretend to be the good guy. Meanwhile a bunch of goofballs protest in D.C and American politicians and tech industry freak out that it's sedition and needs to be mercilessly stamped out. Seditionists wearing hollween costumes. They haven't even begun assassinating scientists and planting bombs in civil buildings yet.
That populist soundbyte has been spreading like a virus but I have yet to see any elaboration let alone a coherent plan. What consequences, and how would it be remotely constitutional? Boycott those who advertise on Fox News? Sure - that is well within your rights of freedom of association. Libel to the typical standards of actual malice for public figures sure. Outlawing "lies"? There are so many things wrong with that. Forget the zeitgeist and imagine what your worst enemies or worst people in history could do with such tools and deciding what counts as a lie. 'Fake news' punishments for pointing out the lack of evidence of hydroxychloroquine as effective for COVID-19.

I've been mulling this over today, as your ability to get the name/IP of the proxy has to be censorship resistant as well.

The best idea I've had so far is using a CNAME response to a very common DNS query which would pass a basic filter, like I'd ask for "mail.mydomain.com" and it would respond with a CNAME pointing to the actual proxy. I have dead domains which I have configured with null records for MX and stuff (so spammers can't abuse them), I could hide the name of my proxies in the MX records a CNAMEs and nobody would be the wiser...

The trick is getting the word out on how to do it - like "hey everyone, just ask random domains for "mx.domain.com" and use the 30 level MX" or something which would pass as legit traffic. Maybe...
Sodium is fine. Nitrates no idea. Saturated fats we can't decide on if they're good or evil.

Non saturated fats are newer to our diet as a species too. Just to keep that in mind.
I don’t think it was a criminal case but a civil one. The plaintiff can drop it if they want.
That’s true. However at least in my memory back in the day people would call the 10 megabit directly connected university connections t1 lines, because of the tier 1 thing.
When I was in Scouting in the mid 80's, we had an adult leader who would only let us bring one egg per person on weekend camping trips. He was maniacal about how bad eggs are for you. Imaging two dozen 13 year old boys running though the woods and all they had to eat was one scrambled egg and half pound of burnt bacon each.
Interesting problem really, for telegram bots I found Frankfurt Germany to be near their servers, which gives me almost instantaneous response.

For trading platforms it's fun monitoring latencies on websocket heartbeats, sometimes i get lucky and discover some platform is really nearby (e.g. 1ms to 3ms) which is very nice.

Still, nothing beats localhost as the fastest place on earth.
I annoyed my family by chiming in during The Martian about Donald Glover freezing his ass off in the server room:

Last time I was having to go into a server room, hot and cold aisles were still a new thing, so it was just cold everywhere.

I have a question on the compute aspect regarding your business model, hope I’m not being to nosy..

I tried HL, the experience was stellar (well done!) and it made me think...

To get AL working with a great user experience you need quite a bit of compute. How are you thinking about your margins, e.g the cost to produce what you’re offering versus what customers will pay for it?
I looked into it a bit more (again, IANAL). Doxxing is a crime, but it varies from state to state and intent (so some aspect of malfeasance) seems to be relevant. There's even a proposal to make it a felony in Michigan.

A Wikipedia deletionist resulted in a movie going without an article for months, despite my efforts to at least give it a stub page. The film was by no means an obscure arthouse production or anything like that, the not noteworthy objection was pure nonsense. Someone other than me eventually won that battle.

A StackOverflow deletionist deleted my question, fortunately after I got a decent answer, on the grounds that it was a duplicate of an existing question. The explanations in the answers were indeed similar, but the symptoms were quite different, especially from the point of view of someone who doesn't already know the answer. (It turned out I had made a false assumption about the way parentheses are treated in regex. Unlike in many contexts in many languages, it doesn't only affect precedence.)

It seems pretty obvious that extracting a gas that is less than a tenth of a percent in the air is inherently difficult.

That said: I'm all for investing in DAC technology. We will definitely need it for some sectors. But you need to consider the costs and if there are alternatives they will in many cases make more sense.
Not sure about night work, but for daytime work the averaging period can be extended to up to one year by agreement (Edit: And the default averaging period is six months).

Also note that the averaging is based on the official working week, which to this day still runs from Monday to Saturday, i.e. six days, so anything up to 48 h/week remains fully within the 8 h/working day average.
Confused: how do you train the model? Don't you need an independent source of 'cat location' data?
Yes, I think that the problem is, we as a society believe that all science is created equal. Obviously dietary science is lagging way behind, say, particle physics. But we blindly accept everything every field of study has reached a 51% consensus on.

Show HN: Chooses the best credit option for every purchase
Hi HN!
I’m Matt, founder of Mote Money (https://www.motemoney.com/) a browser based decisioning tool that helps choose the best credit card to use when shopping online.

Mote Money is addressing the question that is often muttered when checking out- what card should I use to get the most out of this purchase?

I had trouble managing the changing rewards, interest rates, cashback offers, and fees to consider each time at checkout. Since credit card companies are not designed to offer a transparent user experience, I decided to create one. Mote Money delivers access to personalized credit card decisioning (to maximize your rewards or minimize your interest fees) at the point of sale.

Simply shop online and when you are ready to check out, Mote Money’s algorithm will recommend the best card to use.

Mote does not ask for card account information. Rather you select your card from a dropdown list or add only your card name and specific rewards and APR manually.

Any feedback on our service is helpful and can be added directly into the extension, here on HN, or you can message me at matt@motemoney.com
Please try it out, share your feedback and start saving!

I've got news for you. There never were any (well done) big studies that said the opposite. However, there were health authorities that repeated really bad "science" because it supported their preconceived notions.
A number of studies show a direct association. As of now, the number is zero.
Keep in mind this study might not be about egg consumption but rather the overall risk of disease in those who happen to eat more eggs than other people. A lot of people who eat several eggs a day are also going to the gym to try to build muscle mass.

My Nissan Leaf cost even less than that. It was one of the first off the line, too; built after they swept all the tsunami debris out of the factory. The body panels line up just fine. Best not get me started on our $15K Scion's quality in comparison.
> Research has said eggs are good for the last 20 years.

McGill published a study in 2012 [1] which shows egg yolk consumption is connected in an exponential relationship with carotid plaque area (see: pg 3):

> ... both tobacco smoking and egg yolk consumption accelerate atherosclerosis, in a similar fashion: the increase in plaque area is linear with age, but it is exponential with smoking history and egg consumption. Curve fitting with the cases that had non-zero values for egg yolks and smoking showed that an exponential fit was better than a linear fit.

I would say that while this is a real concern, our current system places way too high a priority on addressing it.

I'm worried that Iran is less concerned about collateral damage. Russia gave up because successfully banning Telegram would also ban significant parts of the internet that Russian businesses (etc.) depend on, so that was unworkable. I expect that Iran won't care quite as much.

Help me understand this (really).

Why should software be expected to have source code available? Don't get me wrong - I love SQLite and OpenSSL, but it has nothing to do with having access to the source code.

My toaster did not come with specs and design documents so I can change it. Neither did my power drill or car.

The music I listen do doesn't have synthesizer settings available and raw source before mixing. Movies I watch don't come with scripts, budgets, contacts, location licenses, etc.

What is it specifically about software that makes people think the source must be available? Where does this expectation come from?

Dyalog clicks a lot more than J; "the best syntax"? "Easiest to learn"? Can you expand more on these positions?

And "a lot of the modern additions Dyalog has made to the language make it (in my opinion) worse as a notation" this one. I don't know when you mean modern but as a casual user, {} functions, trains, nest ⊆, rank adjustment ⍤ (like J), seem to make things more convenient?

Absolutely. Really it’s only limitation is where the devs spend their time. What would give current godot projects more support while introducing new features.

The hardest part of 3D is the shading pipeline and making that configurable, scriptable, both? in a way that allows artistic freedom and expression.

My core gripe with Unity when it first launched is that you can tell a game was made with it (you can still kinda tell today) as all the games published felt the same in how they ran, played, etc.

Those that make it look unique and give it that polish were the better sellers for sure.

Godot will get there. I spent a long chunk of my career doing a 3D game engine side-project so I get it.

Good news is that with PBR it’s becoming a bit more standardized with how a rendering pipeline works.
Satellite internet already exists; StarLink's defining feature is lower latency both by being in a lower orbit and inter-satellite links. It does benefit consumers by introducing another satellite internet competitor, but how many "normal" people want to rely on satellite internet or, if they do, care about a few extra 100s of ms of latency? (Inter)-National wireless companies have a tendency to consolidate and lobby out smaller companies and municipalities who have less incentive to build out fiber and landline companies, if any, have further justification to cut cords. StarLink is the now the leading solution for global low latency connections for HFT by being in a near vacuum in low orbit. The case for HFT benefiting non-professional trader Mrs. Mainstreet is that she no longer has to eat the larger spread offered by the big bank market maker every pay cycle when the 401K contribution hits with HFTraders providing liquidity. The opportunity for smaller traders to make the market is no longer there, but the odds that they would had a chance to begin with have been stacked against them for a long time with the cost of the fastest connection being marginal to now near insignificant.
no one said anything about forcing and I don't currently work as a server. I'm strongly suggesting that not tipping doesn't make the point you think it does, and it definitely doesn't help that particular service worker. you're not pressuring the owner to change shit. you're sending home a low income employee with less than they reasonably expected to make off serving you dinner. servers who routinely complain about low/no tips tend to get fired (it's taken as a proxy for poor performance), not given a raise.

The last paragraph says it all:

> It’s possible the hypothesized beauty center actually does exist and just failed to show up for a variety of methodological reasons. And to be sure, this one analysis hardly settles a question as profound and difficult as this one. Yet that raises an important point: What are we trying to accomplish here? Why do we care if beauty is one thing in the brain or 10? Would the latter make beauty 10 times more marvelous or diminish it 10-fold? More pertinent: How do we understand beauty differently if we know where to point to it in the brain? It will probably be many years, perhaps even generations, before we have something like a neuroscience of aesthetics that both physiologists and humanists will find truly compelling. But we can be sure that beauty’s seductions will keep calling us back to this messy, intriguing and unmapped place in the interim.

If an improper Airplay implementation could brick an iPhone, what's to say a hacker couldn't do the same (whether or not you've opened up the protocol, because anything can be hacked)? Or even just a network screwup, or a random bitflip.

Which is to say, airplay shouldn't be capable of bricking an iPhone, and if it can, that's a critical issue which needs to be fixed.
So much focus on apps and (web) SaaS products these days, that even Microsoft has recent guidelines only for (simpler) Windows apps it seems. For more complex (Windows desktop) applications I prefer the older guidelines, as https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/uxguide/how-t...

Tips are better for the employer because they fan advertise a price n where the customer will be expected to pay n+10-25%

Pooled tips are better on average because the extra tax the employer is able to levy accrues to everyone. Non pooled tips are better for attractive people or those who are much more competent than their peers.

No tips and actually paying employees what they are worth is even better.
That depends on whether Amazon's next boss is also a techo or is a 'money man'.

Money men always fuck up a company because they don't understand the finer details of what made a company great in the first place.

Saw a movie back in I think the seventies that involved a time traveler coming back to present day America. He's happily eating what was regarded at the time as a very unhealthy diet and is horrified at all the people eating what we all thought was the healthy choice. It was a comedic punchline throughout the movie.

I dropped eating eggs for thirty years because we were all lied to by the experts. But as a result it brings me sheer joy to eat eggs for breakfast every single day - at my doctors recommendation ;<).

What the experts should have warned us about was our sugar intake. I have reduced mine, it's not that difficult, and only wish I had known to do so decades ago.
> Oatmeal is tons of empty carbs that will be burned fast

This is completely false. Oatmeal is one of the few grains where this is not true (unless you’re eating it in a highly processed form like flour). It is very slow to digest, does not cause an insulin spike, and actually removes cholesterol from the body. As far as grains go, it’s pretty much the best one out there. There’s a reason oatmeal is the primary carb used by gym rats.

The only time it’s a problem is if you’re eating it out of an instant packet, but that’s really about all the added sugar, not the oatmeal grain.
That reminds me of the bug in Google Maps where a route from southern Sweden to Norway suggested driving through the Chunnel and taking a car ferry across from Scotland.

I have worked for a startup operated by a McKinsey alum; he was totally incompetent, throwing buzzwords around constantly without understanding what they meant.
