> Do you believe that it's alright for the NSA to conduct surveillance on foreign threats?

It is one thing for the NSA to conduct surveillance on foreign threats, but I have always been uncomfortable with the suggestion that the NSA is perfectly entitled to vacuum up the communications of ordinary, perfectly harmless foreign individuals because "the protections of the American Constitution don’t apply to foreigners". The American Constitution is largely a product of 18th-century natural-law arguments, and so you would think that case can be made that all human beings are endowed by their Creator with a right to privacy regardless of their citizenship.
Crap, I’ve done all three! Well, maybe not all at once though.

I can see why not to do notifications, but it’s hard to avoid doing some form of it if you’re making an app with focus on low latency realtime updates.

The bigger problem is that out of all three categories, I only really feel content with trusting Stripe, and only so much. Auth0 has its issues, and decent authentication systems you can roll on your own are plentiful. Maybe building it yourself no longer makes sense, but I do think owning your user database is a good idea, even if you do primarily lean on OAuth.
They sold 10%, so they expect to be in for a few more rounds. Pump and dumpers rarely just aim for one single big cycle, you go in waves for max profit.
This article should have been titled "getting started with Courier notifications" or something similar, it's a tutorial with a bit of "don't roll your own" advice at the beginning.
More general: Things to never build yourself: Things outside your core business. Are you selling a notification service? Build it yourself, otherwise find either self-hosted or hosted solutions, depending on situation.
The only way to address that is for us all to start seeing the same insufferability in ourselves. That's why the site guidelines now include "Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community." — as a tentative first step in that direction.

Let's hope that HN is around for the rest of our lives because it will probably take at least that long.

Edit: I pinched this comment for a long explanation upthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27145616
Yeah! Even more tracking!
really, the notion homepage tells you literally nothing about the product? https://www.notion.so/
What is ridiculous exactly? That it's deflationary? Or the intuition that it should rise in the face of USD inflation (all else equal)?
I don't really buy the pump and dump take here. Even if it had been an intentional pump, no reason to trigger a selloff.

Some Theses:
- Elon is a quick decision maker, he could have genuinely been persuaded about energy usage post-hoc. The energy bit does run somewhat contrary to Tesla's core mission.
- In line with this, tesla may be about to form a partnership or make a move with another crypto platform, both because the other platforms have more technical advantages and because they are more energy efficient. Maybe they will even launch their own coin/project
- Musk decided it was no longer worth the headache. His Bitcoin communications may have brought a lot of behind the scenes regulatory or fed scrutiny that we are not aware of
- Some other new information (possibly natsec related) that caused him to change his view on BTC
Let's start with that Israel isn't in Gaza, you can say that there is a sea blockade, ok, why? Remember Karine A? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karine_A_affair
Israel can keep it's border with Gaza closed, yet it's not, yes, it allows goods to come and go. There is border with Egypt yet it's the same. Water, electricity flow from Israel to gaza unpaid very colonialist of Israel.

I'm not saying that Israel isn't in the West bank, it is. Are their life better than the ones in Gaza? Absolutely yes. Why? Because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Defensive_Shield and that there is corporation between the PA defense forces and Israel. Do they live normal life? No. Israel stand is that peace will be met with peace Israel is rarely the aggressor.

"Palestine is firing into cities because it has no other means to defend itself" this isn't self-defenses that's terrorism. You want to fire at military checkpoints, at soldiers at military vehicles and compounds fine, it's an armed conflict. If by your standards anything goes then don't hold Israel to a different value.

If I was under occupation I would target the military, I would target the the ones that are in my city I wouldn't go to a busy shopping center and blow myself up. I wouldn't fire rockets to kills as many people as I can, I wouldn't add ball bearings to create maximum affect.
Is there an estimate how much memory does this site need to have the full index in memory?

I gotta say, I've seen at least one? other Typesense post here on HN at some point and I can't really comprehend HOW FAST this actually is, especially considering how much more bloat and slower general web has gone in the past years.

I don't really have anything to search for from the given site but I just played around with it to enjoy the speed.
I heard the problem was not theft, it was big guys showing up at store opening and bulk-buying the whole stock of cards, threatening staff with violence if not allowed to do so.
Then the supplemental problem of normal customers complaining all day that the cards are sold out.

As a developer I've had to pound into people's heads that as the company grows, very few things we have worked on rank as 'special' for more than a little bit.

You do the reader a favor if you get to the 'why do you care' part immediately, because in fact it may turn out that they don't.

Documentation eventually turns into a data warehouse. There's so much of it and you can't keep it straight, so some memorable fraction of the time, going to a Wiki page or your bookmarks or - god forbid - browser history. It's basically a fishing expedition. You know that there's a thing that did X, but you don't remember which thing it was (and code names make that basically impossible), so you're just going to scan a bunch of them until you find the right one.

If every page is like those cooking recipes that are held hostage by the life story of the creator, you're going to get pretty grumpy. Landing pages remind me a lot of this, because I've looked at twenty tools and I can't remember which one is for Postgres backups and which one is for Javascript minification. No, this one is for JSON. Next tab.
Payment has lots of legal pitfalls if done wrong not to mention the financial damage.
I think GP is referring to a society-wide problem. As a Gen Z-er, I concur - at the risk of sounding dramatic.
If there was an RH version of these criteria, this proof would fail several of them:

While it's highly unlikely to ever be proven by someone outside of the traditional academic circles (and in less than 20 pages...), how depressing would be be if they'd actually succeeded and 5+ years later, no one's bothered to confirm it? For all we know, an error was discovered when this was submitted for peer review, but we'd have no way of knowing that.

We see examples already where a central authority is not necessary like peer grading.

The race condition could work in a bonus question where the first person to answer correctly takes the bonus marks. Students would have the opportunity to submit answers, get confirmed correct without the teacher needing to manage this.

That central authority is a bottleneck and at times corrupt. We don't trust central authority in government so three different levels of government have to reach an alignment for a law to be passed. Police powers are separate from judigical powers for a reason. Decentralization balances interests.
> IMO, we need some way to declare a company "Big" and apply special rules to them. If those rules are onerous, that might create some organic pressure to split and/or help smaller incumbents compete.

What do we win here? To me it seems that letting big companies get as big as they can allows them to use economies of scale to provide quality services cheaply to all of us. Search is a prime example here, only Google seems to be able to do it as well as they do. Many others have tried and failed.

Isn't the benefit of cheap/free services far outweighed by whatever arbitrary "abuses" that are alleged to have been perpetrated? Shouldn't our attitude be primarily of bewildered amazement at the status quo instead of attempting to micromanage how Google uses the massive, amazingly positive platform it built?
The trouble is that comments like this manifest the exact same negativity that they complain about. We're all busy seeing it in other people, which is what keeps the negativity going.
this is why in finance the most obvious or intuitive prediction or outcome is often the wrong one. "omg..he sold his stock/crypto/token etc., therefore it must fall a lot!"

He should have just sold thee shib, convert to $, and cut the check. Too much of charity these days feels like moving assets around and money instead of donating. That is why the UBI is so popular, because it gives the money to the people instead of middlemen, bureaucrats, admins, and money changers.
2017.

I guess if it was legit we would've heard about it by now.
I enjoy re-interpreting the movies by taking them at face value and assuming what happened happened but not for the reason we were told. This can sometimes mean burning things: a character is wrong about the gravity of a planet. It can also have more interesting results: Kowalski didn’t have to die and he knew he didn’t have to die and chose to die anyway while encouraging Stone to keep going.
Modern Javascript and CSS both have features that allow for much cleaner and more readable code. Supporting IE11 seems like a really janky way to enforce code standards.
Pump and deflate? That evil Elon is at it again.
Remember, USA won the Moon race by running centrally-planned project with strong government leadership, while USSR lost Moon race by having Korolev, Chelomey and Yangel design bureaus competing with each other.

In this case we have SpaceX as a driving force and potentially NASA which provides much needed incentives - both to SpaceX (they won't reject the money) and others (so SpaceX knows it's not alone). Government is still critical, as there is little commercial gain to get in a short term from the Moon.

SpaceX has a couple of aces at hand - Starlink and potential for wide use of Starship near Earth. China companies don't have as much of commercial incentives - for them, government participation is even more critical.

There is no such thing as "constructive criticism" of suspected fraud -- there were a bunch of red flags, and AK was not remotely alone in sounding the alarm. Do you have constructive criticism to offer, is AK still badgering AN, or are you just airing grievances about 2 year-old drama?

As an individual, this is why I carry my unlimited hotspot with me everywhere.
I’d be sold on their product if they had better security implementation. Company wiki’s are troves of sensitive information and I’m uncomfortable that I have yet to find any central logging on the product.

I wish these things were also taken into account
I wonder if this is why the anti trust action against Apple/Google/Qualcomm has taken so long.
Seems like the model likes to repeat words in the title, particularly when hyphens are involved (I guess it considers them
as different words?) e.g. "new dinosaur-like dinosaur" and "male-pattern traits in male rats" are a couple I saw.
The generated abstracts may be gibberish but I wonder how often they contain little bits of brilliance, or make novel connections between ideas expressed in the training set. If we got a panel of domain experts to evaluate the snippets on this basis, thrir labels could be used to fine-tune the model in the direction of novel discovery. (This is almost certainly not a novel idea!)
It has sensors in the seat and it uses that to tell you that a seat belt should be buckled up. I don't think any other car does more than that but Tesla's do disengage auto steer and cruise control if the seat belt becomes detached and brings the car to a controlled stop with hazard flashers on.

I would not want it to immediately disengage auto steer just because a wriggled in my seat though.

I do think Tesla could do better but I see no reason why they should be censured for failing to prevent deliberate attempts to circumvent the checks. That would mean that they would have to engage in an arms race against ever more inventive people trying to defeat the system.
That it should rise because of USD inflation.
I think you overestimate the extent to which the war ravaged the countryside. Some cities were destroyed. Most (most!) of the rest of Europe, the towns and villages, wasn't.
Likely payment by colonial pipeline to make ransomware attractive business
unclear if we will all have to switch off Auth0 with the acquisition but I've built a company with Auth0 as the auth provider and definitely would not take it back, saved us so much time and allowed us to focus more time on product market fit

okay, but why?

Lots of people want to use document databases as if they were relational, lots of people want to use their RDBMS as a file server and lots of people use spreadsheets for just about everything.

Lots of people wanting to use a product in certain way doesn't mean it's a good idea, nor that someone else should make that work for them that way
The main impression it gave me (be sure to toggle to the satellite view - then you can also verify the existence of tracks) is how tricky it would be to build a reasonably straight railroad there while also connecting the population centers.

The route that the existing track takes is insanely suboptimal and seems so hard to fix considering the existing urban sprawl in the relevant areas.
FWIW given GDPR, CCPA, et al so do auth & communication. I'd honestly have a big problem with our team wanting to store passwords ourselves...
Google is littered with broken links to documentation that used to be there and which also could be downloaded offline with xcode.

after maybe 6 years of not looking at it, I looked again in 2018 and was totally thrown away by the desolation. It seems that some articles are kept in "archive" with lots of "beware leopards"-like signs of deprecation, but there's nothing findable anywhere else. Last year I wanted to write a small menu bar icon app... but since I didn't want to use Swift, all I could find was bare method signatures, and I ultimately got discouraged before finding old enough data to get stuff working.
Here's the thing, though: You, me, and most of those working in this industry know how this sausage is made thus will avoid it at all costs. The few billion others don't and won't. Facebook, Google, etc. know this.
> Under the 4th amendment NSA is forbidden from collecting the communications of US citizens without a warrant.

Strictly by the text this is false in a couple respects:

(1) the text does not refer to or limit its provisions to citizens at all.

(2) the text prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures, not those without warrants (it also sets standards for warrants, when they are issued.)

The Supreme Court has inferred from the juxtaposition of the reasonableness requirement and warrant standards that warrants are presumptively but not universally required for reasonableness.
The point of a newspaper is to inform its readers of current events. This is an article about a current event that seems particularly relevant for the IndyStar's Black home-owning and home-buying readership.

Imagine an article about a recent mugging in the park. The point is to inform residents so they know to be wary, not necessarily to present study data on crime rates.
Maybe just a Python notebook with a Postgres client library and some helper functions to keep the amount of Python in the main body to a minimum?

What kind of notifications are we talking about where you can get away with self-hosting? AFAIK, Push Notifications on smartphones have to go through Google and Apple's servers. Maybe if you're doing email notifications?
Not sure about the down votes either, but "wiped off" is a common phrase for this exact sort of thing.

A search for "wiped off accounting" hits a pretty large number of pages, including : https://www.macmillandictionary.com/us/dictionary/american/w...

"to reduce the value of something by a large amount"

The dictionary URL implies that it may be US English, but searching for "wiped off accounting uk" shows it is common even in the Queen's English.
Lol the price and the cost of mining are only related because of humans, not technicals. Efficiency is still a thing which is costly in the near term and a technical feature.
My B2B app is completely broken in IE. I just let it stay that way. No warnings. Tech support knows to tell customers to use Firefox, Chrome, or Safari if they run into issues. It's such a rare occurrence that it is not worth the effort to detect an ancient browser and render a warning.
I've also found them to be pretty responsive (I've messaged them a number of times with bug reports and feature requests). That really contributes to my overall appreciation of the product!
Speaking of hand-holdable 500mm lenses - I really like Nikon's (non-reflex) 500mm PF and 300mm PF. They use a Fresnel element to achieve hand-holdability.

The Most Important Piece of Wisdom That Has Served Me Throughout My WorkLife
Yes, it just didn't come out quite right.

The main reason to mention github at all is that it gives me stats. There's probably a bunch more repositories out there just from people doing git clone, but I can't count them.

Also, while github helps it's not a critical part of the whole thing. If it disappeared it wouldn't be a critical problem. Everybody would still have the source, and could figure a way to reconnect again.
So disappointing. It reads just like the petty office politics where the successful employee is attacked and criticized, by the others who spend all their time figuring out ways to attack and complain, instead of doing their job better. It's some strange human trait seen in every company, office, environment. And I assume it's a global issue. Meanwhile the successful engineer, teacher, developer, is blind to this, because they are working hard at doing a great job.

Right on. I was thinking from a capability perspective of an application.
That's not true at all. Most vendors, if you make them specify it in a contract, will provide you with a way to export the hashes and some vendors support importing users with existing hashes. Okta in particular will import existing hashes.

My company moved to Okta from a home grown solution in 6 months and I suspect after the work we put in place to facilitate that would allow us to move somewhere else in even less time as long as they supported importing hashes.
It is incredibly hard to imagine that the upside in Musk's personal Bitcoin stake, whatever it is, is anywhere close to approaching his personal stake in Tesla. Something like 70% of his net worth is Tesla stock. It would be unbelievably stupid to jeopardize the value of the Tesla stock to pump up the value of his Bitcoin holdings.

Some of these anti-Musk conspiracy theories are truly crazy especially considering the man is so out there that you don't even need to fabricate weird theories like this to make him look bad.
Exactly. But Windows and MacOS were made with the US-centric view that letters of different case are identical (they're not, thankfully even ASCII didn't make that mistake), and now we're stuck with it due to large amounts of legacy software relying on that assumption.
imho The primary value is their pared-down databases that mostly just work like you want them to.
If the payment was made, it could make a strong point about something that cryptocurrineces play an interesting role in enabling.

I think it's an agree to disagree situation, then.

I just think society is better off when everyone chips in. Not when you nickel and dime everyone for specific services they use.

You sound anti-tax in general, so I don't think I really have any good arguments to address your wilderness property edge case.

We have basic first party analytics of the NHS users of our software (mainly just browser versions actually), and it's probably a little over half of them are using IE11 still. My impression from talking to some of them is that most of them now have both Chrome and IE11 available on their machines, and it's just which one they're using. I'm sure that's uniform everywhere though.
THEY are being unreasonable. It would warn me off that they are so flippant.

For all you know they have a branch in Alaska working on the exact same thing! Yours is theirs now!

Really sounds like a lot of risk.
How does this even work? Do people hear him saying "Dogecoin is a hustle" and immediately start selling their dogecoins? Where do they get buyers on-demand?
I think at this point it would be some US auto-body shop with IE6 hooked up to some internal software, or maybe one of those big Japanese companies that never changes anything at all.
