>Don’t get me started with all the 20something ”Influencers” humble bragging about their cars and homes.

Not sure about that, if they have the car, but I only watch one influencer. called Supercarblondie, I am not sure if she has that expensive car, when she gave her lover a sweet Suzuki Jimmy. (I forgot the name of the car, but it's expensive.

I must say, I got Instagram too, I have no clue what to do with it. I am too lazy to upload and too lazy to touch the app. It isn't easy to upload pictures from the desktop to Instagram.
Usefulness is in the eye of the beholders. We know much more trivia about the material properties of silicon, prime number sieves, and lithium chemistry... only now it's not considered trivia, it's valuable knowledge.

Many discoveries are random luck, many are hard focused work, and some are both. Their value is rarely known at the time and is likely reflexive (e.g. Silicon became the default because it was better known, and similarly prime numbers rather than elliptic curves). Neither would be all that relevant without the markets for semiconductors or public key cryptography.

For that reason, I wouldn't discount those first implementer/inventors that popularized solutions that became profitable. Without them there would not have been the investment in continued later focused development required to make those solutions "win" and elevate trivia to relevance.

Now adtech on the other hand...
> I am now working a full 40 and there's no way I could cut 40% of my hours without a massive drop in output.

I expect the following has at least in part occurred:

1. Your participation in "meetings" has increased significantly. Management tends to conveniently forget that interruptions have follow-on disruptions on focus. This is compounded by the Doorway Effect [0].

2. You don't trust your direct reports to handle the level of autonomy you had as an IC. You're being pushed by your management to provide status updates so you have to scurry around poking ICs.

3. You're still expected to have at least a portion of your IC output in addition to your management duties.

4. You've discovered the productivity of your team is a bell curve. Some can get work done quickly while others are much slower. This may be related to their skill/experience or their particular tasks.

5. You're pressured by management to split up work to deliver a baby in a month. This causes you to take on even more IC work to try to accede to such stupid expectations.

> Studios start at $1,090/mo, and 1-bedrooms start at $1,250/mo

This puts studios and 1bdrs in the low end of the largest rent band in Tempe ($1-1.5k) per Yardi Matrix, and on par with the average rent in Tuscon. All AZ cities are seeing 14% or higher YoY increases in rent. I'm very curious how solid those prices are, and how quickly they escalate ("starts at" pricing is really frustrating, however common it might be).

Most apartments available on Apartments.com for less are in complexes between University and Broadway closer to campus. Apache Boulevard is between University and Broadway east of campus, and this Culdesac is much closer to US Hwy 101 than campus.

One nearby traditional "luxury" apartment complex has studios for $1,040/mth and 1bdrs for $1,350/mth.
> but they will likely take advantage of the AST

In the end, a more general approach with more compute, always wins over applying domain knowledge like taking advantage of the AST. This is called “the bitter lesson”. http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html
It's a demonstration of google dorking. Construct a google search term that returns attackable hosts.

Skip past the first few results, then you'll see a list of likely easily-hackable home routers. If you were to try user/pass combos like "admin"/"admin" on these results I bet you'd have successful logins on several of them.

Don't actually do this (seriously, the penalties aren't light), the demonstration of the search results is enough to make the point.

"Most people like their workplace because they like the people there."

Do you have anything to back that up?
Yeah, definitely. I guess my point was that converting natural language to source code can be even more valuable for people who don't know how to code, but want to perform actions more complicated than a simple button press. For example, I often find myself doing regex based find-and-replace-alls in text files, and even that feels inefficient while also being over the head of the vast majority of users. I'd imagine there are a lot of people out there spending many hours manually editing documents and spreadsheets.
So what’s the profit motive?
Anyone got any good tips on how to run github action workflows locally or self-hosted? Incidents like this make me want to self-host our CI/CD.

I'm confused as to the difference between https://github.com/nektos/act and https://github.com/actions/runner

Is it not possible to use 'runner' to run github actions locally? The docs for this seem like they are extremely sparse - probably because this competes with the paid option?
We've been playing around with migrating our bare metals to proxmox as well. Though one main argument, being able to reboot/manage crashed GPU accelerated nodes, was invalidated by proxmox (KVM?) itself crashing whenever the GPU would crash, so it didn't solve our core problem. This is of course also due to that we're not using industrial components, but it is what it is.

I found Ceph's error messages very hard to debug. Just google around a bit for the manuals of how to deal with buggy or fully defective drives. There's a lot of SSH'ing in, running vague commands looking up id's of drives and matching them to linux device mount points and reading vague error logs.

To me as a high level operator it feels it should be simple. If a drive supplies a block of data, and that data fails its checksum, it's gone. The drive already does its very best internally to cope with physical issues, if the drive couldn't come up with valid data, it's toast or as close to toast as anyone should be comfortable with. So it's simple, fail a checksum, out of the cluster, send me an e-mail, I don't get why Ceph has to be so much more complicated than that.
I've been to AZ, it has a fairly vibrant outdoor community. The heat looks bad on the numbers but its a dry heat, so your sweat glands can operate at full efficiency, making it not feel so bad. It can be an issue for vulnerable people as well, and of course I can't speak to how that changes with Climate change.
Here's another TP-link manual:

https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/66/

1. Open the web browser and in the address bar type in:
http://192.168.1.1

2. Type the username and password in the login page. They are both admin by default.

3. Click Security->Remote Management on the left side

4. To enable this function, please change the Remote Management IP address from 0.0.0.0 to a specific authorized remote IP address.

Here's the warning they give at the bottom of the manual:

Few people read the entire manual, if they read it at all, they read enough to do what they want, and fewer still know what "Use this with caution" means. I don't even know what it means. I typed 255.255.255.255 carefully, is that sufficient caution?

Type 255.255.255.255 Remote Management IP Address means that you can connect to the router remotely from anywhere via Internet, this is not recommended and please use it with caution

We suggest changing the default log in Username and Password if the Remote Management feature is enabled, especially if you typed 255.255.255.255 as the Remote Management IP address.
HN is a slow-cooker, where TT is a microwave.

I spend time on HN if a post I read also results in a meaningful conversation among the commenters. Usually I will try to add a comment as well, so there can be a bit of back and forth. It's not all one-way the way it is on TT.

Of course it's not always that way. I know to steer clear of posts related to H1B visas, because the exact same conversation plays out each time.
If you had an issue with Zuck calling early Facebook users "dumb f**ks," wait until you find out what's going on behind the closed Tik Tok doors. You have to remember - we're still in the honeymoon phase with Tik Tok and haven't learned to hate them yet. Once the media and all your friends start sharing hatred about Tik Tok, leaks are going to start coming out, and there will be all the other fun ways through which we discover the true nature of the beast. My money is on Tik Tok setting new standards for how evil a corporation can be.

> The China thing is touchy but I want the west to beat them by being better, not by being dismissive and protectionist.

You got used to the idea that the US has the ability to be better at anything we set our mind to. For our sake, I really hope that truism to continue to be true for a long time. But unless you believe in American Exceptionalism, there are no reasons why that should be guaranteed - or even likely. China is more supportive of growth-at-all-costs, their population is willing to work harder, and the idea that Americans are more innovative hasn't been true for quite a while - look at Nio, Xiaomi, Huawei, ByteDance, and countless other examples. A lot of cutting edge stuff is coming out of China these days, with the trend only accelerating.

We might even start longing for days when we used to have a strong domestic competitor in the social media space. The same thing happened in Germany - back in 2008 when Facebook was tiny on a global scale, there was a German €100m company called StudiVZ that dominated the social networking in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with about 10m active users. I don't have to tell you how that story ended - the company is no more and all those users are on FB/IG now. Germany and Austria also happen to now be the ground zero of the global Facebook hatred [1], and I bet you they wish they had shown their domestic company a bit more love back when this would have made a difference.

> Apple has announced they are only rolling this out to iPhones in the US. That makes it look like a legal requirement to me.

I'm just some guy with a beard, I honestly don't know anything about anything- in my eyes, it looks like less of a legal requirement and more of a stepping stone. Granted, those things aren't mutually exclusive and I'm not privy to any information others don't have, I'm just cynical.
I think it's worth considering that Uber is the first nation-wide taxi service that we've ever seen, and they were only able to accomplish this via subsidy. Is it really possible to continue operation at that scale, while simultaneously losing their competitive edge versus local taxi companies? Why is it that no other taxi company has even come close to nation-wide? I don't think an app is sufficient to bridge that gap, and Uber doesn't have anything else to show in the innovation department.
"Neighborhood" is a bit of a stretch. This is an apartment complex.
This seems to me the salient part of your comment:

> Taxis are mostly only profitable with extremely low overhead and only servicing high traffic areas like Manhattan or other major metropolitan areas. Uber's thousands of engineers and SF HQ disqualifies them from being low overhead anything.

If I'm understanding correctly, the argument is that taxis are basically a shit business—bad enough to break the "software is eating the world" rule because they have such low margins that you can't pay a software team (or at least, not operate a marquee SV software company) and compete. Better tech isn't enough.

If that's true, that answers my question. I'm surprised if it's true, though. I didn't think the taxi business was that miserable, and I'm not sure how it squares with taxi medallions being the highest-performing investment of the 20th century (or some factoid like that which I read years ago).
Apropos:

From one of your replies, I assume you live in São Paulo, I'm from there.

I've debated with the same question in 2016, not about slavery, but about what life I was living there and what I wanted for my future and for my family.

So will share my story and opinion, YMMV.
I decided to take a leap and try to get a job overseas, mainly EU, (software engineer, 10 years of exp) , was the best decision I've made.

São Paulo/Brazil have many issues that won't be solved in the foreseable future or never in my opinion:

- education quality / cost ratio
- housing
- personal safety
- inflation and money value
- population

I'm currently living in Lisbon and if home sickness is not an issue for you, I would recommend checking out opportunities abroad.

You will face problems also, housing for example is awful almost everywhere, but I can pay a mortgage with much less interest than in BR, have a car and not worry being robbed with a gun, walk the dog 2AM without looking over my shoulder and provide a better future for my kids, all that with enough work life balance and a normal salary in tech field.

> Is there a better term to describe this kind of situation other than "literal, actual slavery"?

It's business, you are selling your time for a price and paying a "premium" for where you are able to live.

> What is a fair payment, in your opinion?

Fair is hard to define in my opinion and will vary by too many factors, your perception, the employer perception, your colleagues perception, actual value contribution and so on.

Hope you find what you want to change about your situation!
> I ask myself what would be the order in which one could most easily absorb the material. Does it really start with rote learning?

What are you trying to learn and why?

Math starts with axioms, which are some statements that everything else is built from. Axioms, as far as I understand, can't be derived. These are the most basic building blocks. Then through logic and deductions other machinery is built up. There is a certain amount that does need to be internalized or memorized, but that is the same for learning the alphabet.

In math classes, at least at the university level in Canada, knowing the statement of definitions and theorems covered exactly is somewhat important. If it's a proof based course this is more important, but the theorem will tell you where it's applicable, so knowing that helps.

Math builds. It took me until a third year complex analysis course to build up enough courage to ask a prof how he solves problems. Basically he said he has a hierarchy of theorems in a given field. When he sees a problem he will go through each of them starting with the easiest to apply and check the assumptions. If it applies, then he will use it and get the result. If not, move on to the next one. He goes and looks up the exact statements and how to go through with the calculations and checks. If you forget something, look it up.

Eventually after solving enough problems you'll build up some intuition and muscle memory for the problems.

As to how to progress, I am not sure. Some mathematicians say you kind of just pick things up and then connect the threads later on. It's not always possible to march through in a linear manner because there isn't an absolute ordering in what to learn.

There should be an appendix in the back of a textbook that reviews or outlines what's required for the book. There will be a few questions that rely on outside knowledge, but one can still learn the majority of the concepts without going to far afield for review.

Start with what you want and fill in the rest of the gaps by working backwards.

I wouldn't worry about memorizing the times tables (unless maybe you're interested in number theory?) if you're trying to learn math. Know algebra, functions, and graphing as a minimum, then start to learn what you want... I would just use a calculator or pencil and paper to multiply things out on homework. If this is for personal benefit, then don't hesitate to get some numerical methods involved to help learning the material.
The issue is it has to be pretty big to carry much in the way of scientific instruments to begin with. Right now there's no scientific instruments on Ingenuity beyond the camera and that is only really useful for surveying the ground. Also Ingenuity can be risky because it's goal is to test the craft itself so they take risks with it to see how well the design performs at the edges of it's flight envelope.
You are making a very good point: the order of gear shifting was tightly regulated after a lot of accidents caused by NDLR order (instead of the now-standard PRNDL). In fact most automotive interfaces have regulations to standardize them after enough accidents were caused by people getting new cars that had different interfaces.
I started using the DuckDuckGo app on iOS to do exactly this. You can choose to "fireproof" any site you're on, adding it to a list of sites that's immune to clearing all data.

I don't think it has a history feature at all though.
A quick search says there are 290M smart phones in the US for a population of 330M. That's basically 100% excluding small children.
I was thinking about some day to day health tracking and notifying user when he needs to seek for some treatment.
For example, making photos every evening before bed, tracking daily activities, computer time, may be using some home USG device to suggest that he needs to loose some weight, or change his diet or he needs to check his blood pressure. do some pauses during his office work to stretch back or neck, or give a rest to eyes

It may increase overall life quality and reduce number of appeals to GP

Another idea was, that often when I slightly sick, it's unclear whether I need some medical help or just some advice is fine, or may be I can just lay in the bed for a day or two. It may reduce number of irrelevant calls to GP

To your point about supply, is it fine to have telemedicine calls with doctors from other countries? Not sure about prescriptions though.. also it may make medical help less available in countries with lower salaries than in US for example
What's your thoughts?
This kind of thinking is what's always intrigued me about freelancing/consulting. If I get bored of coding, I can take 6 months off and work an outdoor summer job, or reduce my coding hours to 20 hours/week and get a part time job at a coffee shop or something like that.

He then suggests a method for going after the creators, i.e people who livestream their abuse over secure connections, or use them to conduct the abuse.

It's a far better proposition than assuming everyone is guilty and mass-scanning photo libraries.

Almost all of this would be by mistake, no different than misconfiguring an S3 bucket.

I’ll be that one person who will say that the peak of desktop environment design is currently gnome (with guake for a drop down terminal and top panel workspace scroll). It’s extremely keyboard driven and working with 4 different workspaces is just extremely pleasant. Using super for both overview and search is a really nice touch too. Just my opinion - avoiding using the mouse really is nice
If I'm reading this right, literally the only difference between this process and the one used in a home kitchen is "intense mechanical working by high-speed mixers, not feasible in a small-scale kitchen".

Otherwise the raw materials are the same:

> Flour, water, yeast, salt, fat, and, where used, minor ingredients common to many bread-making techniques such as Vitamin C, emulsifiers and enzymes are mechanically mixed for about three minutes.

In what way does this represent "processed" food in any material sense?

If anything, this sounds like a perfect example of the kind of fear mongering associated with the "processed food" label...

It’s also a market where you’re competing on margin. The winning ticket for the taxi market in North America was to stabilize taxi supply by the medallion system and have profits accrue to the drivers who owned the medallion and car (as they could charge rental fees to other driver).

There’s nothing to say that Uber/Lyft don’t stabilize near a similar dynamic.
I think an important filter for these types of groups is that the founders need to have actual revenue and customers. I've tried to join so many groups but they're full of new founders that have a project, don't have a business yet, and I never get anything out of it because the people ahead of me stop participating.
> Elementary is great, the couple times I've tried it, I wasn't into the desktop paradigm it was encouraging me to use (e.g., no minimize button, native apps that are pretty and consistent but less functional).

I installed it on one machine, and the missing "minimize" button drove me mad, otherwise it's a very nice environment (I generally use Ubuntu LTS).
Uber the company has higher operating costs, and their service isn't better. The entire value proposition is "cheaper" and always has been.
We build another system we fully understand that can process the justification and see if it is correct/makes sense.

Does tech eat non-tech, or do a handful of heavily invested companies selling at a loss beat out people who don't do that? Looking at the top 10 companies, three are in tech, tied with American Healthcare. 2 are finance, 2 are O&G. The internet fundamentally changed how companies do business, but really, what makes Uber a tech company -- their app? They don't sell their app. Anyone can have an app nowadays. They're a taxi company with a large network and good name recognition, and that's their key benefit.
I think "market studio" really depends on the target. Student-targeting studios are definitely $200/mth cheaper and Tempe has lots of those, but "luxury" studios within 0.5 mi. are already at the same price or higher.
That link isn't from the routers this post links to (specifically Archer C7 and C9 routers).

And, your link is old, to say the least. That screenshot is from the Windows XP era.

You're trying to lampoon TP-Link for things that simply are not true anymore, nor have been for a long while.

I'll repeat again - the defaults on these routers is to prohibit WAN access and they force a password change at setup. What more are you complaining about?
