I’ve seen many unnecessary services-that-should-have-been-libraries. Usually the result of organizational structure and career ambition; it’s more high-profile to launch a new service than to write a new library. Coworker jokingly called one egregious case the “Promotion Service”, as that seemed to be the main function of the service for the team which developed it.

That depends on the filter order. Evaluating a FIR is O(N M^2) where N is the number of data points and M is the size of the FIR. Doing the same with an FFT is O(N Mlog(M)).

Neither is particularly "performant." FFTs and FIRs are big guns!
Linux vs. Windows: Open-Source vs. Proprietary – From a Retired Microsoft Dev
For me, I can login when I go to that first link, and then it redirects to an error page. If I try going to the link again, it says it needs to verify my and asks to send a code by text or email. I picked email, got the code, entered it--and it tells me to enter a valid code.

Were you ever T-Mobile postpaid? I was, and it appears that their prepaid and postpaid systems are partly shared, partly separate. I suspect that this leads to parts of their site getting confused.
Since WFH I spend my official 8h/day like this:

- 2h extreme focus (solve problems by designing solutions, write code)
- 2h casual work (answer slack, review code)
- 1h meetings (if any)
- 1h reading (tech books)

I don't work 8h/day anymore (even though my employee contract states 40h/week)... my productivity is the same as before (when working from the office) but my mental health has dramatically improved.
“Founding Engineer” Jobs
It’s not the economic system as such that drives up real estate prices, it’s us the people who want to live in a nicer house. We bid up the prices of real estate in competition with each other. It’s not some external sinister faceless policy monster, it’s the queues of people who line up to view properties for sale - us.

I’m a Brit but we have this bad here at the moment. A house next to ours came on the market just last week, it wasn’t even listed inline yet but on day one the estate agent had a long list of people registered with them viewing the property all day and got four offers. It’s those people living in my area competing for property driving up house prices.
> To me, that is a 20 foot tall neon orange flashing Chesterton's fence.

It's not a Chesterton's fence, though. The whole point of Chesterton's fence is that whoever put up the fence that you want to take down couldn't be bothered to add signage explaining why the fence was present, thus either it isn't important to keep the fence up long term, or they're a idiot, in which case there's no reason to belive they were correct in deciding that having a fence there was useful in the first place.

With this fence, if you walk a few meters to the side (read, "select 'ext4_list_backups' and hit ^F and ^G a few times); et viola, there's your signs.
Those boxes from Costco come with WiFi built in and a mobile app paired to it. The small business owner invariably sets up port forwarding so they can watch from home and leaves the default password because it doesn’t force you to change it. Not much better there either.
Why is using untraceable software something that should be considered as "going out of your way", in your opinion? I think it's just because it's relatively uncommon today. But if all software was close to the untraceable end of the spectrum by default, the world would be better place for it.
On Windows anyway, I think most users are very familiar with the right-click context menu. A lot of people don't even know the keyboard shortcuts for cut/copy/paste because they just right-click and there it is.

For complete novices, the first thing they do is click the mouse, and since there are only two buttons it doesn't take long to figure out that left-click is the primary button, and right-click brings up a menu with handy options (practically everything has a context menu in Windows). But with the Web, where context menus are rare, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not as well-known anymore.
I guess for RSS you could pull a New York Times and have the RSS feed just link to the website, ads / paywalls included once the user clicks on the link.
I lived in a trailer growing up. They tend to be lower end, but "affordable housing" apartments are going to be comparably low-end. I'm guessing the reason they're more common in the US than in Europe is because land in the U.S. is so much more abundant, not because 500 sq ft apartment is inherently more dignified than a 1000 sq ft trailer.
I have case-insensitivity enabled for DOSBox and Wine file systems.

I've actually thought about converting my whole $HOME to that way, but I do have a few files that would conflict if I did that. I honestly don't think it's that bad of an idea.

One benefit there is that you don't get left with only context for what type one records used to be like before some evolving. The only baggage kept is by people aliasing that name in their own memory.

You don't get screwed because you called something apple to start with, but it now represents a race car
Capacity factors have been improving in France as they scale back nuclear production from 87.9% nuclear and 13.9% mostly hydro renewables in 2004 vs to 71.7% nuclear and 21.3% renewables in 2018. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_sector_in_France#I...

Looking at 2004 they used 8,204 kWh/Hab but produced 9,203, and thus needed to export an even larger fraction before wind/solar took off.

PS: The graph makes it clear why things are improving, their simply cutting back on nuclear. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9d/FR_ELEC_...
This clause bit Patreon IIRC hard, when a mass of people made arbitration complaints in place of a class action. It turns into a financial DDoS pretty fast.
Ouch! That's a bit harsh! Well, I suppose cloud archives could be encrypted? We use a cloud based system (but no cloud backup) and with multiple facilities, its nice to be able to launch the app and stream the camera's live feed using the cloud as a bounce.

Also with the cloud being used as the de-facto off-site backup location, most data these days will end-up (hopefully encrypted) in some kind of cloud service or another.
Aren't those first and third things strictly true? If your goal is to dispassionately whether unionizing is a good idea or not, it seems patently dishonest to pretend that there are absolutely zero downsides.

It's a gamble. You're hoping that what the union brings will have fewer downsides than your current situation. In the case of these warehouse jobs, it seems like things suck enough where those tradeoffs would be acceptable.

Where I draw the line is this idea that all unions are beneficial or warranted. No. They should be looked upon with a critical eye like everything else.
> You're assuming "batteries" which is just wrong. [...] you want kinetic storage, or possibly power to gas.

...neither of which are cheaper than batteries or we'd be doing that

Yes, we are doing pumped hydro, but only in a few convenient locations. I recently watched a video about Ireland's new pumped storage facility[1], it mentions some pretty tight constraints for what we currently consider economical (e.g. hill slope). Bill Gates' new book[2] doesn't go into as much detail but also doesn't sound like we got this figured out any better than batteries, basically saying we need breakthroughs or this is going to simply be a prohibitively expensive undertaking for non-rich countries. Specifically about hydrogen (the "to gas" option that has the most buzz at least) [2] says that there are high losses in conversion (without saying how much) as well as hydrogen leaking from metal tanks and electrolyzers being very expensive. There's hope for breakthroughs but.. they do have to happen in order for it to be better (cheaper) than today's batteries.

At a bare minimum, it's not obvious that what GP wrote is "just wrong". This isn't something we have a definite answer to.

Never be as good as Oz, that show was amazing
Interesting, I don't have any message like that on any of my lines. What state are you in, CA?

I've been popping off on Twitter for a bit and it appears T-Mobile extends CCPA law benefits to all 50 states and DC/PR, they dropped this link to me: https://t-mobile.static.services.wirewheel.io/

My guess is they prioritize notifying customers in states that have stronger privacy laws.
I was downvoted too. For promoting multiple types of renewable energy over a single one. My guess is it's just the anti-nuclear ones that are doing the "build only x, not y"
> Runnning around does not make a child with ADHD more sedate or perform better in the classroom. "Just go do some exercise" is like telling depressed people to "just cheer up".

You are completely right.

What I meant is that I have a feeling that often ADHD is diagnosed out of convenience rather than a real illness. I certainly didn't mean that all ADHD diagnosis are a scam.

> you don't care if your program fails due to UB or another bug,

Actually you do, because memory safety bugs are more likely to be exploitable than some arbitrary correctness bug, because they can be weaponized to take full control of the program.

The reality is that UAF/dangling pointers are a major source of CVEs in mature software. Rust prevents those in practice, Zig doesn't. You think Zig is going to be much better than Rust at preventing other kinds of bugs. I see zero evidence of that.
Worth noting that the Fairchild era luminaries did all their own glass blowing. It was considered a basic skill for their era.
Except that in this case the vast majority of the money my kids have spent have been a huge failure. They expect something to work a certain way when they buy it and because of zero QC it doesn't and they end up losing their money and crying.

They are learning that the world is a cruel place and people are out to get them. (I'm only partially joking)
>why would the company be going so hard in the paint to get you to NOT join the union?

Even if you're running the squeaky-cleanest operation possible and don't treat your workers like crap, any organization would want to oppose unionization on purely rational time & overhead grounds.
They probably do it already. I know for a fact this is an existing practice on Allegro - Polish eBay equivalent. What happens is a boss gets their employees to order their products with on-site pickup, or post + payment on delivery, wait few days, and upload a five-star review. Rinse, repeat. The product is, of course, never sent. The company loses on platform fees, but it's profitable if used to fabricate social proof for new listings, or to compensate for the few negative reviews weren't able to bribe away, that drag down your total rating too close to the point the platform may cancel your privileges or ban your account.

Being a witness to all of this, I no longer trust any particular review. At this point, I strongly prefer to spend a little bit more money, and buy a product straight from a recognizable and reputable brand name.
And it will go much, much higher. GME is a short squeeze of epic proportions. It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
This would be a much bigger hack if it were Wyze. Wyze cams are generally placed in residential interiors and contain a mic that can not be disconnected without physical removal.

It wouldn’t be as newsy, though because people put these in their own homes.

The only way this group raises awareness instead of angering people is by targeting companies and institutions, rather than forcing people to confront their own compromises with technology, time and effort.

There is a particular risk, unlikely but theoretically possible, that I'm thinking of here.

In case of a sudden huge decrease of BTC price for a whatever reason, the cost of electricity for mining would become much larger than the cost of all the expected reward (the newly mined part plus the txn fee part). If such a situation would cause major miners cease mining, then there's a gap where there's a lot of unprofitable [proof of] work too be done until the next hash difficulty adjustment, which happens every 2016 blocks - which usually should be roughly every two weeks, but if there's a large sudden hash rate decrease, then it can take months to mine those blocks, the adjustment won't happen until (unless!) someone sacrifices something like 100 million dollars in electricity costs to mine the remaining blocks while the difficulty rate has made it unprofitable at the unexpectedly lowered BTC price - and, of course, the impact of that hashrate drop would make BTC transactions very slow and act as a further downward push on BTC price.

TL;DR - there's a mechanism where a sudden large, rapid drop in BTC price might perhaps cause a sustained collapse of BTC price.

I had a software project where I thought I could infer which shift was working from the time (because shift-related metrics were really important). I learned very quickly that shift and time, though related, are really separate data points.
This is absolutely the worst thing about hiring in our industry. The reason interviews are so abusive is that there is no way to effectively filter candidates. There's no reason to say a four year degree is the requirement, mostly because such a degree does not predict ability very well. But on the other hand, it is possible to design a credentialing system that would be effective. If we, as an industry, want self taught people to be able to get jobs we can design the system so that it the credential is obtainable by someone who is self taught. Personally, I'd like to see a system that combines testing, a practical exam, and then a further credential that you can get after you have some work experience.
>Really not sure what you're trying to say. You admit that the Brits were opposed to the Jewish efforts to establish Israel.

Before WWII, they wanted to maintain Mandatory Palestine. As the breakup of the Empire became obvious during the war, they changed their tune and supported Israel.

>The only way US was involved at any later point was as part of the UN efforts to establish a ceasefire,

Ignoring the large amount of US arms that ended up in Israel's hands, you act like US stepping in to end the war is a small thing. Prolonging the war would not benefit Israel, and guaranteeing their gains in the aftermath is what gave them the time they needed to truly colonize.

>much much later, because Israel won the 1967 war.

Kennedy was elected in 1960, and served under a term.

> a forced trained, organized, and armed by the British Empire, and commanded by British officers:

Obviously, as before that the region was a part of the British Empire.

Much of your claims that nobody supported Israel seemed to be based on their resistance to arm the nation. Immediately following WWII, the hope was to limit the ability of such nations to wage war, and guarantee them in case they are invaded. Plus, the west's constant worst fear was arming Israel only for the Kibbutz to take control.

Part of those six years includes paid residency.

It might be a bigger investment, but has a higher median return.

It may be a week for you, but is that indicative of the average experience? It's kind of like how all the silicon valley people on here post their massive salaries as if it was normal. Many of us in other areas don't even have access to those high paying job opportunities. So what's the point of studying for something that isn't even available in that locale.
IANAL but HIPAA compliance comes from following certain policies and procedures (e.g. for encryption and account provisioning). These rules are necessary but not sufficient to guarantee security. As for cameras in hospitals, I have only seen these pointed at beds in specific scenarios (e.g. epilepsy monitoring) but obviously it is important to keep these video feeds secure.
5 lessons from running a paid newsletter for the past year
My kids are so much happier on Minecraft because there's no built-in pay-money-to-get-better mechanism. Minecraft has a HUGE value in the price you pay to the amount of awesome gameplay you get. Even with Realms it's cheap compared to what you get out of it.
I think the biggest selling point to cloud security cameras is to have a copy of the video not at the location. If your house / business is robbed or burns down you will possibly lose the video. This video could be used to find the theif or arsonist.

Ideally it would store video locally, then encrypt it and upload the last minute to the cloud.
Yes, my comments keep getting flagged, even though they are mostly just quotes from reputable sources.

This is clear abuse of the flagging system to silence dissenting arguments. At least they are proving themselves to be acting in bad faith.

Typo on /pricing "we plans for".

(Aside from that, I'm continually astounded when I see services like these and notice that the prices listed are per month rather than per year. I'd expect this to be $10–20/yr or thereabouts, tops, but then I see that the non-free tiers start at $8/month and wonder to myself, "Who actually pays these kinds of prices, especially for these kinds of services?")

All the screenshots on the neutron.so landing page are blown out of scale (>1×). I'm browsing with the window on the right half of the screen. The image https://neutron.so/git-websites.png for example is 520px × 340px, but it's scaled to 768px × 502px, so it's not nice to look at because of how fuzzy it is.

Openstack is confusingly named, colliding with OpenStack.
I see. Thanks for sharing your experience!
The answer seems to be "yes", for several reasons:

1) I also once changed my privacy preferences, but have since been opted back in.
2) I wouldn't have even known to check were it not for Hacker News, which is _not_ how I, nor hopefully anyone, would want to be notified of changes to my/their T-Mobile account.
3) I'm greeted with a generic "Update Operation Failed" when I try to opt any of the lines on my account back out, so now I have even less faith that my changes will stick.
Great summary of the problematic aspects of each of these approaches!
D-Link sells cameras that don’t have cloud access. Look up a DCS-913L. I bought one on eBay around a year ago. It has wifi and you can set it up to record over SMB.

It’s not the best image quality but if you get another router, a raspberry pi and a large external HDD you can have a relatively cheap CCTV set up.
Filing bankruptcy is not an automatic thing. Should the company, during the course of the bankruptcy, somehow manage to bounce back and obtain enough capital to remain solvent, the court may dismiss the bankruptcy since the company no longer needs legal protection to restructure its debt or gracefully liquidate its holdings.

In addition to the court finding that a bankruptcy is no longer appropriate, either the debtor or the creditor can petition the court to dismiss a bankruptcy. This is not entirely uncommon, even when a company might have more liabilities than assets, when creditors believe their interests are harmed more by bankruptcy than a less drastic measure. This avoids companies declaring bankruptcy out of convenience rather than necessity. Shareholders are themselves creditors, and so they too could petition the court to dismiss a bankruptcy under such circumstances.

Finally, while companies (mostly) won't enter bankruptcy if they see other options, bankruptcies do not automatically wipe out shareholders, though that is probably the more common outcome. It is possible however to retain your shares, which would usually be exchanged (possibly at a discount) for shares in the newly constituted company post-bankruptcy.
Yeah... I bet today was the security team's "told you so" day.
I don't fully agree with you, at least not in the European tech world. According to my experience, women in technical jobs have a higher chance of getting hired, winning a presentation award, and being promoted to team or project manager.

On the other hand, I also think that they have a harder time taken serious on highly techical topics, and earn less on average for the same job.

It comes with benefits and drawbacks. I honestly don't know which outweighs which, but putting it all in a negative perspective is unfair and not accurate.
Far be it from me to argue that the United States is competently administered compared to, e.g., a successful firm.

It's still a global superpower for a reason, and that reason is not "communism will totally work this time"
The technical difference is a mobile home has a license plate, is registered with the DMV, and taxed like a vehicle. A manufactured home (or modular home) is built to the building code and taxed as real property at the same rates (typically) as a site built house.

But in ordinary usage people use the terms interchangeably.

It might not apply in cases like this where they are actively changing what you are setting up as your profile settings.

I.e., in their arbitration clause they clearly agreed to give users some control over some privacy settings. In changing your settings they are in breach of the clause not you.
I use uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere.

In uBlock Origin, I had already enabled "Disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests)".
Except there are no coins that could be mined with a camera CPU. Even with Monero (which is CPU based) you will not meet the RAM requirements or clock-in a "share" of work in any useful timespan.

You statement is true in the wider sense, you can have mining botnets of computers and maybe some high-end phones, but IP cameras are really-really weak as far as compute power go.
Plausibly, yes, though again, large enterprises should be able to handle this internally, especially some of the listed customers here.
Just uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere.
