I am currently working on the compression, as it is not complete yet. The 100 MB is indeed excessive but the window is dynamic and can differ from file to file since it is written to a `*.hblock` file which is stored next to the object in the object database https://github.com/Snowtrack/SnowFS/blob/03e5f839326e666c891...

Let me explain where the 100 MB window comes from as its not only related to the upcoming compression implementation. Some graphic applications touch the timestamps of their files for no reason, making it harder to detect if a file changed. But some file formats always change their 'header' or 'footer'. Means, comparing the hash of the first or last 100 MB of a file that is 8GB in size gives a great performance boost to detect if a file got modified.
Attacking social trust is easy and profitable (across the political spectrum), but transitioning to a low trust society won’t make my life better.
This is still the case BTW. iPhone-Windows USB connection drops every 2 mins on purpose

I just spent a good 2 hours manually copying chunks of photos each time before the USB connection drops (on purpose). And Apple still stands behind its statement of "follow these steps" (which don't work)
Private social media. organize how you socialize
i need opinions and testers of our private social media webapp. check it out and tell me what you think.
The trick is to have enough assets so that you don't have to sell them for money. You get a loan against your assets (which in today's climate very likely has a smaller interest rate than you'll see in appreciation of your assets) to live off of, which is tax free. You pay that loan back over 10 years and each year you sell a small portion of assets to limit your tax and/or you take out other loans to help pay for previous ones.

Imagine you have $2,000,000 in liquid assets that appreciate around 6% annually on average. You borrow $100k at 3.5% over 10 years. In year one you'll pay back ~$13,500. So you sell %13,500 in assets which won't even be taxed.

In year 2 you borrow another 100k and sell some assets that lost value during this time using tax loss harvesting and/or you borrow even more money to help pay back interest and principal on older loans. You can continue this indefinitely as your compounding assets are returning much more than your loan interest.

In essence, with enough in assets you can easily create a perpetual income machine that has no or little in terms of taxable income. With clever accounting, tax loss harvesting, and smart deductions/credits you can avoid paying taxes more or less through debt-as-income.
Flat tax + minimum non-taxable incomes is where it's at. Just set high enough threshold.
No, you wouldn't. Unrealized gains being taxed would eventually make you declare bankruptcy or live on the street. The government wouldn't let you pay in stock but sell stock yourself.
How Much Does It Cost to Develop an Online Course in 2021?
Well the reason for that is that the large cartels are already part of the game.

SOCOM needs a place to get the money for their off the books operations, and if you start looking into special operations units it turns out there are a lot of those guys pretty heavily involved in drug trafficking.
> "a tax deferred is a tax avoided"

Once you get into more complicated tax structuring then yes you can defer it for very long. The extent to which that very long becomes indefinite depends largely on the country's tax laws. Some are more open to the concept of handing down wealth through the generations than others.

Deferral opportunities are available to more normal people too. As per your rental example. Or self managed pensions in some countries etc. Or tax wrappers for stocks. Either people don't know enough or they've get their hands forced by paycheque to paycheque realities.

The only stuff really out of reach for normal people is genuine offshore stuff. The overheads on that are quite chunky so you need millions for it to make sense.
After encountering a lot of the "truck as an identity not utility" people, many couldn't tell you the displacement of their engine (or even a turbo 4 vs v6 vs which one of the v8 options), if it is FWD/RWD vs 4wd or other relevant features that aren't prominently featured in the marketing materials. They may use it to haul a piece of furniture or plants from Home Depot twice a year, but otherwise they'd probably be better off with a car for the ride comfort/fuel economy/lower opex. In CA/Chicago/NY the primary status symbols are Audi/Tesla/etc., but in flyover country, it is 100% a giant pickup absent of pickup only function (heavy towing, large item hauling, extensive offroading) use.

This _should_ in theory compete more against the 2nd generation Ridgeline in terms of compact pickup and FWD drivetrain far as utility goes, but at almost half the price, much better fuel economy and unknown reliability as the wildcard?

I've heard "security posture" before which relates to how your organisation is currently set up to handle InfoSec events and activities.

https://www.balbix.com/insights/what-is-cyber-security-postu...

Extrapolating that, I would say that capacity posture is planning around expected capacity. As an example, perhaps they say a given data centre has to handle twice the amount of bandwidth of the peak.
There are so many comments here blaming Twitter while blissfully unaware that HN fuels the exact same online outrage. Almost every day there's a "<company> did bad thing to me" article on the front page and people immediately pick up their pitchforks and join the mob.

I agree that PGP is clunky. Maybe it's just me, but I often find that modern is the opposite of safe and robust.
Anybody who has used Go in VSCode for longer than two days is familiar with the constant need to restart gopls.

That's probably the biggest annoyance. There are a ton of other minor ones, too.

To be fair, language servers in general are absolute garbage, but the combination of VSCode and gopls is particularly bad.

“ It would only be entrapment if they were soliciting the illegal activity.”

I’d like to note that this isn’t how entrapment works in the US (or many other places). If I’m an investigator, it is not entrapment for me to go to government employees and say “Hey, I’ll give you $100 in exchange for state secrets. You in?”. Covertly soliciting illegal activity to try to catch criminals is not entrapment. It only rises to the level of entrapment when it is something that would cause a “normally law-abiding person” to break the law, or that the defendant would otherwise have had no criminal intent - for example, “Give me state secrets or I’ll kill your wife” would be entrapment.

> One essay by an academic, and the other by a creator

It's a bit unfair to paint PG as just an "academic". Sure he basically rushed from academia straight into the business world, but he's created things as well. I mean being an investment capitalist will hardly compete with creating ambitious works like Principia Mathematica, but PG has written a few books on the side. Some of his earlier stuff, like On Lisp isn't half bad.

PG has also done his fair share to influence other creators, of course his influence will never be near as great as Russel's, I mean you don't run into a Wittgenstein more than once a generation. While most of PGs influence has been mostly to help other capitalist acquire more wealthy by any means necessary, he was able to help a few very interesting people like Aaron Swartz.

And while PG will never stick is neck out for anyone but himself, worried endlessly about this "intellectual" reputation, you can't expect all creators to be willing get themselves thrown in prison at the age of 89 to fight for what they believe is right.

tl;dr sure PG will never be as powerful of a creative and inspirational force as Russell, but it's unfair to say he's "just an academic"
Most companies will buy Google Ads (formerly Adwords) as insurance for their SEO efforts. At the barest minimum, you don't want links to competitor sites at the top of the search results. With ads, you can at least claim the top spot for those search keywords.

Most people don't click on ads, so getting visitors to your site from organic search terms is more likely to convert them into returning users.
I don't use ProtonMail because I expect a secure chain of communication for all my correspondence. I use it because I want to avoid having my inbox in the hands of Google/Microsoft. But I'm only a casual user and maybe one day I'll be more serious about ProtonMail's privacy features.
It depends on your use case. Some people don't want a huge honking power bank permanently tied to their laptop.

That's the biggest issue with this theory.

If I need a laptop with more battery, why do manufacturers keep getting rid of the option in the name of thinness.

How to create a strategy (and beat your competition)
Yeah I'm pretty sure that Christopher Alexander makes this point in one of his books, maybe A Pattern Language

He says that suburbs are configured "wrong", in a way that's antithetical to life.

Because the children go to school somewhere nearby, where they are babysat, and the fathers (at that time) commute to work in the city.

And the children have no idea what their parents do, and that is alienating. The configuration of space diminishes people and relationships. They don't see their parents enough and they don't learn from them.

Children want to learn from "real" work, not the fake work of school, which is why so many of them can't sit still in class, and get poor grades despite being smart, etc.

That work/suburb split definitely describes how I grew up, so I remember that point very distinctly. You are supposed to jump through hoops for 12 years, and then apply to a place where you jump through 4 more years of hoops, etc. But you are confused about how the world actually works. It's not a good way of teaching people to be adaptable to the world.
I love it. I think I'll print it out on a big banner above my home office.

I wake up every day dreaming of retirement: when I will be free to do (or not do) my best work.

>optimum price

But there is no guarantee that a revenue-maximizing price is actually above the cost to deliver the service. There are a ton of personal services that US middle class people would like but aren't willing/able to pay what it costs.

In the case of Uber specifically, I'm not sure why the price wouldn't settle somewhere around the price of taxis, given that's what they effectively are and which aren't a high margin business.

Do folks here have ideas of what will become the best place to host public Docker container images? Between this and the earlier changes to rate limit pulls, Docker Hub no longer seems like the ideal venue for reputable public images.

Note that 155 is the grand total over the entire duration of the operation. The tally (given in your linked video) is:

* 70 yesterday in Sweden

* 5 yesterday in Spain (related to Swedish investigations)

* 80 earlier, candidly

I believe 70 is the figure that should be compared with the 800 total [1].

> this is a non-issue.

Who are you to have the gall to claim conclusive knowledge of an unknowable without a shred of evidence? How do you think gold-diggers and con-artists work, hang-around at airports, golf-courses, and investment brokerages waiting for rappers with the most gold chains?

> I think its fine in context.

That's your opinion that you're deciding for other people. It's the only number that matters and yet you're stilling trying hard to trivialize it.

> And - if your justice can be bought,

Nope, you automatically lept entirely in the wrong direction: it's not the justice who can be bought that is the problem, but the rich knowing how to calculate exactly how to exploit and buy-off the poor. Think Indecent Proposal or Bhopal rather than some Western movie about a crooked town sheriff.
It's not clear to me that an ocean-going fishing boat would be cheaper than college tuition. Is it? Would love to see some data. https://horizonship.com/ship-category/commercial-fishing-ves... has prices a good bit about even 4-year tuition for all the things that list actual prices.

I assume their free tier is (also) aimed at the open source community; thus providing images for open source software just got a bit harder and possibly costly.

If everyone and everything went paid-only, you'd see a lot less open source software get made. I may be ready to sink a bunch of time into that sorely-missing piece of software I know how to write, but I wouldn't be willing to throw a bunch of money in as well, and I'm sure lots of others would draw a line there.

Same thing with open-sourcing things created at work; it's a hard sell already, but with an ongoing financial commitment, not going to happen. So personally I'm very happy that lots companies still support this sort of thing with free services, and I really hope this kind of crypto cancer won't kill all of them eventually.
I don't agree at all. I have an old iPad that's a nightmare to use to read comics. Literally just swiping through JPEGs is an ordeal of trying to find some way to go around iTunes, then finally having to manage media through iTunes. On Android, for at least 10 years, you can just drag and drop files. Fast delete is horrible: first it deletes letter by letter, then suddenly jumps to word by word; on Android you just swipe from the delete key and you can see how much you're going to delete. On Android you can easily customize your home screen and swipe down for info; apple has a worse implementation and it took them ages to implement.

To an apple fan this may be nitpicking; to me this is an example of how every single step of the way, apple products are painful and frustrating to use. On a macbook it's not as bad because I can generally override and customize things. iOS is just the worst of both worlds: apple's extremely opinionated implementations, with none of the workarounds available on mac os. I'd take any version of android over any version of iOS.
I guess you’re not on Twitter much? Mobs are an almost daily occurrence in my feed.

As a father of two kids who enjoyed this article, I clicked on the comments thinking, "I bet the top one is a criticism of PG." I don't understand how a predictable snide remark about PG's writing elevates this conversation. If the purpose of writing is to be read and to provoke thought and action, PG is a great writer.
Still a far cry away from a proper programming language, which is what we need. For example, if you want to loop over some config and generate a resource for each config, but the resources need different providers (e.g., different AWS accounts) then you just can't do it. Further, if you just want a little function, you have to build a fully fledged module. Then there are the crazy namespaces (`var`, `local`, `resource`, `module`, etc).
> Tiny particles power chemical reactions

Yes. I'm sure they do.

> Those electrons can be drawn out by submerging the particles in a solvent that is hungry for electrons.

When I hear particle, I don't think of a little grain of matter. I think of anything that's discrete. If it moves a thermometer or a voltmeter, it's a particle, even if it's just a flash of brightness from something else.

After reading the article, I immediately thought of a pipeline that's fully packed, not pumping oil, because of a cyber attack. Start lining the pipes in teflon. Look at parrafin oxidation. Inject a recipe into miles and miles of 40" pipe. And hook up cables to it. It turns into a giant battery, like how heat pumps have electric heaters on the outside unit when the temperature gets too cold. The petroleum oxidizes in the pipe, and at least you have some return on value. Probably will cost too much and not produce enough power, but better than just sitting there. Perhaps you can add really high pressure, and get good enough at some hot spots the reaction goes down to quantum chemistry, the entire thing is effectively plasma or quark matter for brief periods.

Fossil does has the ability to squash commits.

The difference is that Fossil does not promote the use of commit-squashing. While it can be done, it takes a little work and knowledge of the system. Consider the premature-merge problem in which a feature branch is merged into trunk before it is ready, and subsequent typo fixes need to be added. To do this in Fossil you first move the errant merge onto a new branch (accomplished by adding a tag to the merge check-in) then fix the typo on the original feature branch, then merge again. So in Fossil it is a multi-step process. Fossil does not have a "rebase" command to do all that in one convenient step. Also, Fossil preserves the original errant check-in on the error branch, rather than just "disappearing" the check-in as Git tends to do.

The difference here is a question of priorities. What is more important to you, an accurate history or a clean history that tells a story? Fossil prioritizes truth over beauty. If you prefer a retouched or "photoshopped" history over an auditable record of what really happened, Fossil might not be the right choice for you.

To put it another way, Fossil can squash commits, but another system might work better for you if commit-squashing is your go-to method of dealing with configuration management problems.

Concerning the self promotion - I will unfortunately not provide you the link, because that would lead to you learning the name of my Wikipedia account. For your information: I tried to remove the quotes - by making 3 concise sentences. At this time I see that someone already added back - but this time the whole bulk of the text (so again not keeping it short). The bulk of the text is explaining who are the quoted people. It starts with a famous professor from university X, who said Y.
Then there are two "randoms" quoted with their full titles and positions (they are not professors, but random PHDs from Y) - who are probably trying to self promote, since they have an opinion on something - that got quoted on Wikipedia.

As for the trend about adding quotes to articles. This partially depends on taste - what each person likes, or dislikes. In my opinion there is a lot of value when an encyclopedia entry is concise synthesis of relevant information - so generally no quotes, just inline text.
I dont care that X said this, Y said that, Z said something else - with full quotes. This can be rewritten to be concise with quotes in footnotes. I also dont care about barely relevant stories - that make the articles longer and full of worthless trivia.

Here is an example of some random article that I found some time ago:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_beetle

[disclaimer: I never edited it, just stumbled upon it]

The article is about ground beetles, yet it has:

1) a "story" consisting of a long quote how Charles Darwin was hit in his eye by a bombardier beetle and it hurt. Multiple sentences of fluff

2) Even later, is an even more nonsensical quote, which sounds like some sort of fan service related to Darwin: "No poet ever felt more delight at seeing his first poem published than I did at seeing in Stephen's Illustrations of British Insects the magic words, "captured by C. Darwin, "

I have nothing against Charles Darwin, but how is his eye story relevant to an article about ground beetles?
Shouldnt the article text focus on well... nettles and then simply have a "fun fact" section at the end, that would say: Charles Darwin got once hit in his eye by a beetle?

Unfortunately with the current trend of adding such quotes it is really difficult to remove them. I dont even bother to try - someone will immediately revert this, because such quotes supposedly make the articles more fun (for 12 year olds?).

More and more articles are full of such fluff. I have nothing against having a "fun fact" section, but seriously, quotes inside bulk of articles are such a waste of time.
The app could still send your keys _as_ an e2e message (to the app author). OS enforcement would need to be pretty intrusive to stop this (e.g. a pop-up for every message sent, displaying the actual destination of the message). I bet users would get pretty blind to such pop-ups, and it would be easy to trick them into accepting the leaking of their private keys.
Good chuckle, but he's missing another tack to this. Saying it's purely based on safety and not efficacy makes it equivalent to the dietary supplement market is missing a key point. And that's the potential upside. Taking a moonshot on curing Alzheimers is far more worthy than taking a moonshot on curing varicose veins. As the Boomers start to hit their twilight years, we're going to have an absolute epidemic of Alzheimers patients and exactly zero chance of treating any of them with anything but palliatives. If Aducanumab has a 3% chance of success, then by all means we have to try. And if Biogen gets rich off of a flop, at least it will encourage more pharmas to get in on the action.
