I spent a lot of time in my teenage years on IRC, talking about technology until late hours, so this resonates :).

I think I see what you're getting at, so let me reassure you a bit, and correct for any miscommunication I may have caused:

> But forbiding topics is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. It's admitting defeat.

HN doesn't strictly forbid controversial topics. The guidelines[0] outline what is and isn't considered on-topic, provide heuristics for good behavior and pleas to avoid certain bad patterns. They don't say, "these topics will be automatically removed", or "these topics will get you insta-banned". They're just guidelines, a description of what this place should strive for. They work as a Schelling point[1] for individual participants.

So what happens in practice is, when you post a clear-cut intellectually stimulating hacker topic, it'll get upvoted. If it's boring, it'll get ignored. If you post a completely garbage submission, it'll get flagged faster than you can refresh the site. If a topic is on a fence, the balance of upvotes, flags and vouches will lean one way or the other. It's an organic system, but the direction it's leaning is strongly shaped by the guidelines - the one thing everyone knows everyone is expected to know :).

It's also easy to observe that whether or not a given topic stays on the front page or gets quickly flagged out of it isn't just a function of the topic and the source - but also the context (and I think sometimes the timezone). For example, political news aren't very prominent on HN, except when something really big happens, and HN briefly turns into a 24h news station.

And on the controversy itself, the general principle is - it's not the topic being controversial itself that's the problem. The problem is if the discussion around it decays into low-quality bickering. For some topics this is almost a law of nature, so people flag them on sight. But others only get flagged down if and when they evolve into actual flame war.

All in all, I think it's a decent system.

I find the documentation fairly easy to follow and well written. I leave the class index open in a web browser, pinned.

The great thing is you can just look at the source if there's any confusion. One issue is the mildly broken nature of the macOS version (odd bugs now and then) but that's because Apple keeps changing things. It is significantly better than it was 5 years ago!

Try reading other documentation like MFC and you'll appreciate the wxWidgets documentation...

Combining vehicles like this is one of those things that isn't bad but gets the Reddit experts screeching because their only experience is that their mom's sister's boyfriend's uncle's roommate got swindled by someone doing a crap job on a Civic that they thought they were getting a good deal on.

Vehicles build on frames are cut and extended/shortened all the time as a part of routine modifications for commercial use and it's far less labor intensive to "do right" than a unibody vehicle. Putting two good halfs together is no big deal and is a relatively standard operation, all the known techniques and whatnot transfers right over. (I assume a 60s Mercedes falls into this category.) Unibody vehicles are also routinely repaired in this manner in eastern Europe where it's cheaper to buy wrecked stuff from the west and fix than to buy new. In the west the limo and mobility van industry does very similar things (only they're inserting stuff in the middle rather than repairing the car)

People do cut and weld jobs all the time for their own personal vehicles and classic cars. When you're doing it for your own car or a car you don't intend to flip you can afford to spend the time to do it right.

Quick hackjobs are the issue, not the technique.
Alternatively, autoscale your consumers based on queue size and alert if it's growing indefinitely. Better than losing messages IMO.

I'm pretty sure 99.999% of HN would say the same thing about a normal Lada.
Yeah, that comment was admittedly a bit flippant. But I would say that OP can't expect to have the flexibility and low capital requirements of renting but get the benefits of stability and profiting from price increases that a property owner would have. There are sacrifices in terms of work and flexibility (and location) that people make because they want to buy their property.
Not to mention crumple zones and how the car is intended to protect the people inside

Its surprisingly common, especially when a machine is underload and spending ages flushing to disk. A kernel oops happens and bam, broken partition.

> So, what kind of set-up are you exactly talking about, a distributed system of some kind? A storage cluster? Ceph? DynamoDB?

Noooooope!

just a second machine, with a copy of whatever you want to keep. when you are doing backups, have each one as a round robin target.

Ceph is not something you'd want to run for redundancy/reliability. I've spent many years supporting "HA" filesystems. The simpler the better (unless its GPFS, that's actually good.)
It's an insane amount of engineering, but maybe one solution is to have two back end telephony SaaS. If one turns off, rely on the other until you get it fixed? Plivo, Mexmo?

Quarantine measures and lockdowns were in fact successfully used against the plague. Sometimes really harsh ones. Like killing people trying to cross the eastern border of some eastern European kingdoms. Or blocking people in their houses if someone had symptoms, like in Mailand.

If different countries had different ban lists then it would still censor the BTC that are included in enough lists

but they were progressive, comparative to the western world at the time. Hence why they were a mecca (excuse the pun) for creative and scientific types.
You could fill a website with privacy-invasive scripts from Google, like 100 copies of Google Analytics and another 100 copies of Google Adsense. This would make it optimized for privacy-respecting browsers which block these, and the website would become slower on Google Chrome thanks to Google's own scripts.

Without going to such absurd lengths, a lot of the APIs Google came up with to complicate the web and slow down browser competition are usually bad for privacy. A browser that blocks those will probably have better performance if the website has fingerprinting scripts that use a lot of those APIs.

You’re probably not the target audience then. Calendly is a $3 billion bootstrapped company, it has plenty of users. I’m relying on it increasingly week after week.
> In a phase 2, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial

It seems like you can't blind the participants in this case? It should be obvious if you're getting the treatment because psilocybin is a hallucinogen, unless they're giving such a small dose that it reliably doesn't cause any hallucinations?

This is important because most (70-80%) of the effect of existing anti-depressants is known to be placebo, and there's already concern that you can't blind in regular anti-depressant trials because the participant might know they receive treatment due to feeling the side effects of the drug (e.g. insomnia). The problem of being unable to blind participants would seem to be magnified in a psilocybin trial.
> I guess TF makes a lot more sense for on-premise, bare metal VMs ?

Sure. And also for Kubernetes json/yml.
You don't just create infrastructure but it will also change -> delete/create.

And establishing a process how to delete your Kubernetes json/yml files in some form of codereview or in some way so you know what it actually deployed, you end up with a tool like terraform.
The big one is the A pillar on the front. This tends to corrode over time and is often why cars are written off. If it is corroded then the structural integrity of the car is compromised. There is really no repair for it - but a bit of welding can disguise things and get a write off sold as a potential project. The new owner can find out when they take the wings off... or they can find out when the front of the car comes off in the event of a shunt, but in that scenario they only find out very briefly.
They will spend a lot more man-hours than that, since the 450.000 hours only included welding the ship back together. The article also mentioned that the operation represents about a 12% increase in passenger capacity, since it's mostly cabins and amenities rather than non-money generating stuff like engines or anchors. According to wikipedia passenger capacity went from 540 to 608 passengers.

So let's do the math: The article states that "Pricing for the 7-day cruise starts at $5,600 per person." Presumably some passengers will pay more, let's assume an average of 6k/passenger/week. Assuming 45 sailings weeks per year (the rest being relocations and maintenance periods), the 68 extra passengers will bring in slightly over 18 million USD per year in extra revenue. Wages in Italy are not that high, so even assuming all workers are welders making the maximum from http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=105&loct..., it would only be about 20 EUR/hour. That makes the price of the 450k manhours "only" 9m EUR, so it seems likely they'll make back the total price of the expansion quite quickly.
I'll leave this quote from the EFF article on FloC[1]

> Google’s pitch to privacy advocates is that a world with FLoC (and other elements of the “privacy sandbox”) will be better than the world we have today, where data brokers and ad-tech giants track and profile with impunity. But that framing is based on a false premise that we have to choose between “old tracking” and “new tracking.” It’s not either-or. Instead of re-inventing the tracking wheel, we should imagine a better world without the myriad problems of targeted ads.

I know the market isn't perfect, but in theory if lowly paid workers can't afford to live in the city anymore they'll start looking for jobs elsewhere, which will force their employers to raise wages.
But the modifications might not be valid in the real system. For example, imagine a script that adds a new user to the system: in the container, it picks a new user ID that is free. A diff of the filesystem will show a new line being added to /etc/passwd - seems OK, right? But the user ID picked might clash with one on the real system, causing everything to fail when you apply the change.
I often see the 'crow lady' at our local park come to the fields and call out to 'her crows', and they immediately come to her, rest on her shoulders, coo and craw, and generally seem to be pets. Its pretty fun to see wild crows come when they're called, its magical.

She told me that she's been doing this with the crows for years - almost two decades now - and that she thinks the crows are telling their young about her, because she notices new generations over the years.

Of course, she's got treats for them - but even when they don't get treats, the crows seem to be really enamoured with her, as if she has a history of being the 'peanut giver' among the local murder.
That was a deep fake.
I've purchased one two months ago, and it's great. Ubuntu worked out of the box (the only exception being the fingerprint reader), and it runs smoothly. The screen is sharp, and it's super light. I'm happy with mine.
I don't use CF, but how does it handle rolling back a delete (thus recreating a resource) and resource ARNs? Is it using some functionality not available to other tools?

I always found tf's lack of rollback ability, basically admitting there is no way to really rollback to the exact state, ARNs and all, so it isn't going to try.
> Even in Friedrichstraße, which is a hype neighborhood with great amount of activity, you have hundreds of square meters completely unused, with wild plants growing around and random waste accumulating.

Two things: I think you put too much value to Friedrichstraße, and likely Mitte in general. It is the physical and historic city centre, but that doesn't have the same meaning as it has in other cities.

Second, in many parts in East-Berlin, you have a unclear ownership of houses and ground with competing claims.
People have been disowned by the Nazis, Soviets, or by the GDR. The families have gone into diaspora and are partly spread over the world. Random people may have moved in and layed their own claim.

The ownership is unclear and spread. And it is a battle to lay claim to your _part_ of ownership. The ground is gaining worth over time. All ingredients, which do not expedite the development of land.
Super common to do stuff like this, when the USS San Francisco struck a sea mount (killing 1) she was repaired by replacing her bow with the bow of the soon-to-be-decommed USS Honolulu.

>In June 2006, it was announced that San Francisco's bow section would be replaced at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard with the bow of USS Honolulu, which was soon to be retired. San Francisco is four years older than Honolulu, but she had been refueled and upgraded in 2000–2002. The cost of her bow replacement has been estimated at $79 million, as compared with the estimated $170 million to refuel and overhaul the nuclear reactor of Honolulu.

It's also common to cut cruise ships in half and add to the middle to make them bigger

Of course, now that I read the article they actually mentioned the San Francisco.

I don't particularly believe BTC is the messiah, but if the internet in your country goes down, how do you imagine you're going to get the money in your bank account? You might rush to an ATM before they get swarmed, but you're definitely not withdrawing all your money and transferring won't be an option.
Yes there are definitely parallels

At a cellular level, it temporarily vastly increases the connections between the synapses. A lot of what your brain does is travel along well worn synaptic pathways, like running on autopilot. This is when you feel like you're in a rut, it's because your brain for efficiency reasons is just doing what it always does. The temporary frenzy of increased synaptic connections allows people to break out of those ruts

But the tax will reduce the valuation of companies, in turn reducing their tax owed. It's a self-balancing system, and will therefore never bankrupt a company - since any company that is bankrupt has a valuation of zero and therefore a tax liability of zero.

I can't imagine it'd be all too tough with a 1965 car and good welding technique. At the time, cars were still pretty over-built and over-engineered. Good welds are pretty darned tough. Most things, you can cut-and-dice without problems.

With a 2020 car? I wouldn't trust it unless the person performing the work was a pretty good engineer. As engineering is more optimized, you can't just do stuff like this without being very careful:

1) Welds do leave a heat-affected zone around the weld which is weaker. If you're overengineered (1956) and everything is thicker than necessary, this doesn't matter. If you're near-optimal (2020), and using the exact amount of material needed to avoid failure under expected driving conditions, you might weaken things enough to see failures.

2) If reinforced, you'll affect the overall systems design. Engineered objects flex. Making one part more rigid than expected will put additional strain on other parts.

Counterintuitive as it might sound, optimal engineering makes designs safer. You analyze failure modes, put in appropriate safety margins, and do things right. Engineering classes drill that over-engineering is bad engineering. The flip side, though, is that if you can't tweak optimized designs like you can over-engineered ones without being careful and thoughtful about it.

Same thing with bikes. You can fix up a $100 Huffy with any old welder. A $2000 steel frame with thin-wall double-butted tubes? You want a really skilled welder and close inspection to make sure it's not compromised.

In my humble opinion if you're using Windows 10 there's no reason not to use Edge because you're already allowing Microsoft to invade your privacy.

But Firefox is a good browser and "morally" a better choice for many reasons others have already summarized.

Personally I use Edge as a developer because it's a Chromium browser (so it reflects most of my users' experience and works with a lot of tooling developed for Chrome), I already use Windows 10 and VS Code and it comes preinstalled.

But I used Firefox between the initial release of Quantum and the release of the new Edge browser and while there are both benefits and drawbacks to its dev tooling, it's definitely a good browser and purely on a quality/UX level I see no reason not to use Firefox.
I don't even know what that is. Most of my information comes from personal observation of their blogs and observing that they are all in polycules.
