I might be too late to not get lost in the comments, but I did notice this flashcard:

> How can you establish a secure connection from your office or on-premises datacenter to AWS?

> Connections to AWS resources are typically encrypted by default (HTTPS, SSH, etc.)

> You can establish a Site-to-Site VPN between your VPC and your on-premises network.

> If you do not want traffic to cross the internet, you may be able to establish a Direct Connect connection, which is a dedicated network connection between your on-premises network and an AWS edge location (from where traffic is routed to your AWS resources using AWS' internal networks).

I want to note that Direct Connect traffic is NOT encrypted by default and this is common misconception, both in real life and in exams. You must combine DX and S2S VPN.

I think it can apply to skills.

For example, if you go to a gym, you are probably among the weakest in the room. Simply because the strongest are more likely to be those who go to the gym the most and therefore, the ones you are most likely to encounter.

If you hit the dance floor, the same happens, and as expected, most people think they are below average dancers. In fact, the worst dancers may not dance at all, so you can't compare yourself to them.

I grew up riding bicycles of various types with rim brakes. Same as you, always squealing!

In my 20's I learnt to ride motorbikes with associated disc brakes.

Then later a mountain bike with rim brakes. Nope, no way, never going there again.

Any bicycle I or my family has from now on is disc brakes. They are it, until I die or we find something better.

Better capability, easier servicing, more robust in terms of sidestepping rim warp. Better for the rider, better for the mechanic.

What does that... even mean?

That I do it more often? More often than my partner? More quickly? More sanitarily?

I'm guessing other people are confused as well and just answering randomly because it's the only question I've seen with a perfect 50% split.
I wouldn’t agree that it’s what buying a thing is in al cases for everything. If a retailer has a stock of iPads and no one has an active order open for one, they don’t just decrease the price until they get orders. Not everything moves in price according to market pressures, or does so over a time span of years, not days or seconds. PlayStation 5s and RTX3090 GPUs are incredibly in-demand, and indeed on auction sites they’re being sold for far above retail prices, but they’re also still being sold AT retail prices by retailers. Just because there are zero available doesn’t mean the price is now infinity. There might not be any available according to stock tracking websites, but if one were to put out an ad to buy a PS5 for a few thousand dollars, one could probably secure a PS5 relatively quickly.

Markets can be made and they can be manipulated. Things don’t have to have an active bid/ask to have value. Is the value of $TSLA zero overnight when NYSE is closed? I would agree with the quote “ There's no such thing as a ‘free market’”
Well, here you never know the weight of the cow, per se. If the weight-of-cow question were asked, it would "If you were asked to guess the weight of some cow, do you believe you would overestimate it?" And then you find out, that, 63% other people share your self-evaluation, or else do not. There is no info about any actual cow.

If you're looking at trusted-application security models, you've probably considered TOFU and what I call BEEF (Beware Each and Every Fetch).

The standard criticism of web-based apps is that you have no guarantee that the code you receive will be the same as that which you received on your previous visit. (This ignores problems with self-updating desktop apps, but let's pretend users make informed decisions about every new version published).

Fortunately there is, at least in principal, a way of achieving TOFU for web apps. It relies on the bookmarklet/SRI trick[0], which lets the user store the hash of a script which bootloads the rest of the application. The major downside with this is that the browser's address bar shows a Data URI rather than the domain of your app. That limitation wouldn't exist, though, if browsers supported Hashlinks[1].

I wouldn't say "progressive" is a word I'd associate with the HN demographic, based on some of what I've seen here. There's a definite libertarian skew, but that seems to fall along both sides of the left/right political spectrum.

As to whether the typical HN user would answer "yes" if asked if they are more progressive than average, however, I do also suspect they would answer "yes."

I do wonder why PHP was not included on that list? It offers an embed SAPI module - which some adventurous person even managed to bind to NodeJS: https://www.npmjs.com/package/php-embed

Only thing I can imagine is that it's not widely known and even more less documented.
Makes it less valid because it was already answered.
A few I've found:

* You're sitting next to someone at a conference (remember those?) and want to hand them a file: fewer steps than email, the wormhole code is easier to transcribe than most email addresses, the file lands where you want it to rather than in a spam folder somewhere, and neither of your email providers or the network in between them can snoop on or modify the data in transit.

* You're ssh'ed into a remote machine, via two layers of proxy servers, deep in a directory structure with lots of spaces and quotes and backslashes and other shell metacharacters in the path, and you want to transfer a file from there back to your desktop. You have no idea how to quote everything properly. So you wormhole it to yourself.

* I'm on zoom or the phone with a friend and want to send something from my desktop machine to their laptop. I can read the wormhole code off the sending machine, speak it to them over the phone, they can type it into their machine. The codes are optimized for spoken clarity.

* I'm debugging something on the little computer attached to my television and want to copy a logfile off to a real machine. I've got a terminal window open on the screen, and a shell, but that account doesn't have an email address, nor is it listening on SSH. I could write a python one-liner that listens on an HTTP port, but there's no security to that. I can 'wormhole send LOGFILE' and read the code from the screen, and type it into my laptop.

By "safely" I mean: confidentiality against anything outside your two computers (eavesdropper only learns the length of the data, as is true for most networks), and integrity (nobody in the middle can modify the file, or cause you to receive something different than what your partner sent). The security of most common file transfer methods depends upon some intermediate server, or two, or a dozen (in the case of email).

If by "untrusted computers" you're making a distinction between distributing files to computers that you already know about, vs to computers that you've just met, then yes, that's exactly right. If your laptop and your desktop already know about each other, there are a bunch of tools that work better for a lot of cases, like a shared network filesystem or AirDrop. Magic-wormhole is kinda aimed at how to introduce two machines that don't already have a connection. The wormhole code is a way to leverage the connection between the humans who control those computers, into a secure shared encryption key between the computers themselves.
Thinking Functionally in PHP
Ah, this feels interesting. I would have said I’m a below average dancer, but above average person at dancing. The difference being whether I compare to people who I observe dancing, or consider everyone. Differently for sex, I assume that this is possibly bimodal (none versus some), so this could provide a measure of the actual skew in the underlying distribution (difference between mean and median) and not only the perception of bias.
When it comes to sex, technically it is likely to be correct. It is a long tail distribution (see e.g. https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/david-spiegelhalter-se...). When we take the average, not median - most people land below the average..

Moreover, if you ask your sex partners on the number of partners they have had, on the average their number is higher than yours. Again, it is not that you are a loser - it's the friendship paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friendship_paradox.

I use it for lots of stuff, but I have to say, at least the Mac version gets unusably slow in some situations - not even highly complex ones (large hi dpi imported bitmap graphics, etc).

But is it good? Hell yeah. Learn the keys and the quirks its like the vi of vector graphics - your fingers can dance on the keyboard and work at twice the pace you get from mouse driven point and click type workflow. You will note nearly all the "complainers" are people saying "I tried it for 5 minutes and gave up because of X" - if that's you then, yeah. But you probably wouldnt like vi either.
"mountain biking" for me as a teenager in New England in the 90s was taking my hard-fork, hard-tail univega out for a ride on a dirt road under some power lines, with 2-3 other kids.

The idea of lift-served downhill biking never crossed our minds. You needed suspension to do any real woods singletrack because the roots and rocks were too numerous. But suspension put the price of a decent bike closer to 1000 bucks rather than <500 and four digits seemed to be a bridge too far for most of our parents' huffy-anchored understanding of "bicycle cost" let alone budget in the 90s.

So we bought bar ends for 30 bucks of saved up lawn mowing cash and told ourselves that they helped for climbs.
> should have an independent body when it comes to its content moderation

That's a reasonable opinion. In the US, it's unconstitutional for that "independent body" to be the government. On top of that, it violates Section 230, so there are two legal barriers.

I personally feel that corporations should not be able to spend millions on lobbying, but enforcing that is also unconstitutional.

Sometimes the consequences of freedom of speech are great, sometimes they're awful. I'm still thankful that we have them and (so far) the courts have upheld them, as they surely will in this case.

Fewer friends than average actually kind of makes sense:

> The friendship paradox is the phenomenon first observed by the sociologist Scott L. Feld in 1991 that most people have fewer friends than their friends have, on average. It can be explained as a form of sampling bias in which people with more friends are more likely to be in one's own friend group. Or, said another way, one is less likely to be friends with someone who has very few friends.

> [...]

> In spite of its apparently paradoxical nature, the phenomenon is real, and can be explained as a consequence of the general mathematical properties of social networks. The mathematics behind this are directly related to the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality and the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality.

Strangely, however:

> In contradiction to this, most people believe that they have more friends than their friends have.

My problem isn't with quantity of metadata. It's with personally-identifying data. And I can't imagine what the filepath could ever have to do with copyright or license.

I don't see how this is a common feature at all.
I think this experiment is about perception rather than finding the true statistical average. The sample space might not be balanced for studying poverty, intelligence, relationships, etc. but I believe that's not the point here. The test is trying to show you how is your perception of yourself compared to others who participated.

Take for example this question: "Are you smarter than average?" and (last time I checked) 72% think they are. Just imagine how the distribution looks like. By comparing this number to the IQ distribution (assuming correlation) which is a normal distribution, you could infer that either [0] a sizable portion of participants are wrong about how smart they are, [1] the sample size is too small, or [2] the people who've landed on the page are exceptionally smart!

[0] I have a "feeling" that this is the case!

[1] Maybe this can be taken into account with better statistical analysis.

[2] The assumption of participants coming mostly from HN, does not prove that this is the case.

I understand that some sources say that one can use "average" to mean something other than the mean.

My claim, as an actual working[0] scientist who encounters those words a lot, is that nobody really does, outside of "Well, actually the average can be the median or mode too...."-type statements.

I'd put describing the mode as "the average" on par with giving someone a tomato and zucchini salad while describing it as "mixed berries." Not technically wrong but....
