While bloom filters are nice for understanding, as far as I know they've been surpassed by Cuckoo filters, and now (maybe?) Vacuum Filters.

I built a torrent-like streaming application for video a few years ago on WebRTC and bloom filters made it easy to know whether a peer would have a specific block. The false positives of the bloom filter were fine too, as the 1% of the time it had to request a block and a failure is returned was not a bottleneck to the application.

There are plenty of people in the US who profit from prisons but have nothing to do with private prisons. Prison labor is significantly cheaper than “normal” labor, for example. And in states like Florida, felons are effectively banned from voting, so politicians can “profit” by criminalizing their opponents’ constituencies.
This is a very unique, fascinating; useful - and - above all - interesting utility. Thanks for doing the work on this. :).

i probably have a comment somewhere recently, but singapore is already in WBT >35 conditions in the day. it eases to around 30 at night or when rain falls.

as long as power is running, it's actually fine in this country, but that's because we've designed our living space around the heat. it is entirely possible to never be exposed to the sun in a normal day in the life of a working resident here if you stay in the right neighbourhood, and this includes the daily commute, hobbies, physical activity, going out for drinks etc.

more and more of the country is being built underground and more and more of our air is becoming conditioned. this is the arcology of the future and it is somewhat pleasant.

edit: actually i think our infrastructure was built around protecting us from the harsh and unpredictable tropical thunderstorms and the protection from heat turned out to be a nice bonus.
Seriously? The specific instantiation of the high-level concept is the proliferation of stablecoins, most notably Tether, which has printed $62 billion and counting. It doesn't require a conspiracy theory to note that being able to literally print money would be incredibly lucrative for everybody involved, and many concerns have been raised about the extent to which these coins are backed by fiat, since if they aren't, that would hugely inflate crypto valuations.

You mean, the book that wasn't about a Zeppelin? As in, an aircraft made by the Zeppelin corporation.

The British never learned how to make dirigibles[1], the Americans never learned how to operate them; all non-German airship projects were failures.

That's why Zeppelin became synonymous with "rigid dirigible airship". Because all other projects failed.

I’m looking forward to the swarm robotics Starship could enable. If we really get to the point where we are sending thousands of tons of payload to Mars (building a city) then we could have lots of cheap rovers instead of one big one. I designed a 3D printed plastic rover and I’m super curious how it would behave in Mars. An aluminum framed version with injection molded gears would be much more robust while staying low cost. And it can drive over very large obstacles:

> Did the value to Google of the work these people are doing suddenly go down? No, and not even if they were previously working from San Francisco and now working from South Lake Tahoe, or even Bumfuck Nowhere.

I'm a senior developer who has chosen to live both in expensive cities like New York, as well as rural areas.

I knew moving to the rural areas I'd make less in pay with the companies there, I accepted this because it also came with a lower cost of living. My skills grew but my pay was reduced. So was my rent.

Under your logic the local companies should compete with San Francisco salaries, because I "could" be making that much there. When I moved out of NYC I wasn't expecting other companies to compete with my former NYC salary, that would be absurd. The pay is high there because the cost of living is high, not because that is specifically what my talents are "worth".

Yes, the fact everyone is remote now is making everyone second-guess this assumption about pay and location. However, prior to remote work you got paid relative to the cost of living in your area. Programmers in Fargo, North Dakota made far less than programmers in Los Angeles, even with the same or greater skills.
I think a good way to dumb this down is to use bacteria as an example. Most people know that improper use of antibiotics is leading to a surge of antibiotic-resistant superbugs. This is basically the same mechanism as far as I’m aware - evolution due to selection pressure.

If vaccinated people also keep wearing masks and social distancing, dangerous mutations should be much less likely.
I think many of us have done similar things but after researching the legal and tax aspects of it decided it was a terrible idea. your local regulations and tax rules may vary just promise to research it 100% before continuing :)
Those are state by state decisions. Many states choose to fund the prisons by taxing phone conversations. None of it is encouraged by the private industry - the prisons have a contest between the main vendors (GTL and Securus) and whoever offers to pay the highest percentage and amount of revenue wins. They of course know who is going to pay, but the public has a hard time associating “let’s raise taxes and spend more on prisons” with a reduction in telecom cost for the prisoners. And even those who do get it, view it as yet another way to be tough on crime. Ironically, having frequent contact with family is the best way to reduce recidivism.

You're arguing that javascript doesn't succeed at being accessible to new programmers. I'm not arguing that. I'm saying that javascript nominally values about being accessible to new programmers. There are way more novice programmers using javascript than (almost?) any other language. This isn't an accident.
You can't 'follow' anyone on this site and anyone can simply have a random discussion here with anybody. The logic you tried to apply here doesn't work and isn't the same thing unlike what is going on in 'TikTok'.

As for my question(s) you are yet to answer, I'll make the first one more clearer for you:

>> Do they (the people you are following on TikTok) know you personally as if they are your close friends?

>> So you are saying that there weren't any leaks happening about TikTok then, which suggests that they can suppress any content they want to or shadow-ban tags? So you trust them that they won't do it again then, since you think in your opinion that 'TikTok is the best thing to have happened to the Internet.'?

I would highlight that given current fire behavior being seen today. A 1/2 mile break might be an okay fire break. But we are regularly seeing crown fires(where the fire runs through the tops of the trees at 30+ mph) that are wind driven with spot fires that are being started 1-5 miles in front of the edge of the fire. These are extreme conditions can only be prevented by keeping the fire down on the ground, with minimal fuel so that the fire doesn’t build up the ground heat that causes the fire to be able to burn through the tops of the trees. Or prevent the fire completely.

This type of fire behavior is nothing new. I’ve been around wildland firefighting since the early 2000s and we were seeing wind driven crown fires during those times every summer. We just called them big fire days and sat back and watched cause there is nothing humans can do to stop a fire with that type of behavior. Other then work nights and hope you can keep it out of the tops of the trees the next day.
Can we get some context? What is the policy? It took me over a minute into the video to figure out if she was pro- or anti-CRT (she's against it) because none of the surrounding tweets or even the linked GoFundMe mention it.
Here's a train of thought, leading to an idea to reforest with highly endothermic plants. Am I crazy, or is this a positive action we could do?

Hacker News -> Siberia wildfires 28135792 -> comments -> Someone says Arctic lightning tripled in the last decade -> wind and waves cause clouds, cause lightning, cause fires -> Earth struggling against imbalance of air, fire, water -> Need a bigger earth -> go to Mars, or increase efficiency.

Forest fire destroys trees -> matter into energy -> too much energy, must capture and turn back into matter -> plant more trees, grow things that can use all this energy -> endothermic reactions -> google "endothermic plants" -> poststar.com -> lotus, water lilies, magnolias, Dutchman's pipes -> Royal Dutch Shell should grow Dutchman's pipes and seashells.

As tech people, could we invent something to harness human greed (like finance or Bitcoin) yet use it to create growth and help the environment? More political power in UN correlated with number of trees? If the performance metrics are right, everything is possible. A good community grows from metrics of upvotes/likes/"thank you"s.
Maybe you can light the entire car on fire, by igniting the gasoline, which will work for a couple of hours depending on how full the tank is...

I'm not going to disparage the survival challenges of extreme heat & humidity, but again, cold is no joke, even with a fire...
It’s messed up, but that’s how it works for jobs where the employees have no power and are easily replaceable but very dependent on the income.
It's shocking to be reminded of user interfaces where you can visually identify the controls and boundaries.
Practically speaking, you start wearing a mask. You start filtering the air inside, and you stop going outside. This way-of-life is already familiar to people in certain major cities, and to those with health issues that make them more vulnerable to air quality problems. It's a worse life, but it's still life.
There are lot of alternative youtube apps too though I can't imagine it being a big chunk of the market.

> Did the value to Google of the work these people are doing suddenly go down?

No, but pay has never been about just the value provided. It's (value * leverage).

Janitors provide plenty of business value, because a clean workplace is important. They have low pay because they're relatively easy to replace, so they have no leverage.

If you move to an area with a weaker economy and fewer high paying job opportunities, you've reduced your leverage, so your pay going down isn't surprising.
"The study — published in the British journal The Lancet — analyzed data on more than 74 million deaths in 13 countries between 1985 and 2012. Of those, 5.4 million deaths were related to cold, while 311,000 were related to heat."

A core reason for creating Lightway was the need for a VPN protocol that was designed for all the things that a privacy focused, high performance VPN platform needs. Unlike Wireguard, Lightway does not need a wrapper, it provides these features out of the box for everyone.

Wireguard is a great VPN protocol, but it was designed for a very different use case.

Edit: My apologies, I should have first introduced myself as the creator of Lightway at ExpressVPN :)

It’s almost comical. After the incident, Snowden seemed to have moved on, taking about other things such as the CSAM controversy.

This is exactly right, I had a 1.5 hour each way commute before we switched to work from home last year. I calculated that I saved around AU$5000 a year just from not having to commute or buy food/coffee out let alone the massive time saved. Not to mention the reason I had such a long commute in the first place is that I chose to live further away from the city to save money and actually afford to buy a home.

Plus as you say the 15 hours a week I get back on average, is basically another part time job or contract work I could pick up if I really wanted to earn some more on top.
US prisons are liberating in a certain sense...

I don't feel so bad about thinking that the folks who run them are probably the bad guys and are literally evil. Kind of like reading histories of the CIA.

And the more evil they create the less I feel bad about not being okay with the larger governmental entities that operate them.

For a long, long time, I felt like a whiny teenager, being pissed at my parents. As I get older (I'm 45 ish), the more I feel like my disgust at the folks who run these things is an actual ethical stance.

The people who run prisons in the US are literally evil.

There may be literally nothing to be done about that.

But that fact doesn't make the people running those prisons less evil.
Depends on your API, I think. API's are usually more flexible and powerful than the rendered pages that make use of them. At some point, we have to lock down the data. And in a server rendered multi-page website (henceforth just 'MPA'), that point is on each page, while for an SPA it's in the API.

In an SPA, we call the API to fetch x, y, & z to render it. In an MPA, we query the database to fetch x, y, & z to render it.

Since the query to the database is entirely server side, it does not need to be locked down in the same way that the API does.

Mentally, it's a lot easier to look at the /admin/orders page and say "should this user be able to see all this data that I can see is visible?". It's a lot harder to wrap your head around all the myriad ways that someone might call the API, and understand whether you've let anything slip through. With the MPA, those items that shouldn't be there should be pretty obvious, just by looking at the page and seeing what data is visible.

For an MPA, the data available to the client is all and only what is rendered on a page. For an SPA, it's all and only what is available through the API. You'll be looking at rendered pages frequently as you develop, but you will rarely (never?) be looking at the full possible output of the API.

Some people will lock down which queries can be called against the API in production. This can mitigate some of the issues here, and is probably good practice for websites that aren't intending to make their API available directly. Particularly GraphQL API's.
They are doing it because in lower COL area people with Google salaries can become financially independent much sooner compared to if they had to live in Bay Area. Financially independent people are much less likely to tolerate shitty bosses and dull projects.
> No, “collecting” photons transfers momentum so at best if you have 100% conversion rate you won’t slow down, so you need a separate source for acceleration.

Given 100% conversion rate you should getting energy via photovoltaic effect, so you use that to accelerate them.

> Whilst photons hit your ship from all direction the photons incoming from the direction of travel would be shifted towards higher frequencies so their momentum would be higher than the photons hitting the ship from the opposite direction so unless there is a sufficient difference in the number of photons hitting you from the back to compensate for it you would still not be able to extract energy to move.

But that's just "friction". Assuming a photonically uniform environment at rest, just buffer energy at rest, accelerate for a bit, goto 10. Eventually you'll get anywhere.

(Assuming a non-uniform environment, you're probably close to a star, in which case gravity outweighs photon pressure anyway.)
Makes me quite suspicious.
>The SWAT team is knocking on your door after you've uploaded multiple instances of child porn

...or whatever gets sneaked into a database that nobody can take a look at, and whose maintainers have zero obligations to you.

>and those instances have been verified to actually be child porn by a human.

Yeah, SWAT teams doing their homework before shooting people up is precisely why SWATting is a completely innocent thing to do and never put anyone in danger.

And that also does nothing in case of "neural" (aka blackbox) hash collision, where the Algorithm mistakes a normal picture for CP. The "human" you have in your dreams doesn't have access to the actual file you have on your device, right? (At least, that's the sales pitch for on-device privacy). They won't know until they get you.

Personally, I would hope that HN people know better than to blindly trust an opaque algorithm running off an opaque database to never make a mistake in where it sends SWAT teams.. but here we are.

In the next few years, I’d love to see statistics on corporations that owned office property vs leased office property and their attitudes on remote work post pandemic.

I’d say it’s a safe bet that corporations that had an easy out of their office footprints would likely have less of this type of return to office “encouragement”. Consequently companies like Google and especially Apple that have created these corporate owned campus monstrosities (err I mean “flagships”) would not want to have a billion dollar real estate asset on their books that sat around 75% empty.
The "farebox recovery ratio" for cars is also low: taxes and user fees only pay for only ~50% of the cost of roads, at most. The rest comes out the general fund.
This is just a cynical attempt to push down wages.

They should pay workers (and workers should demand) based on how much they are worth to the company. Remote workers should even get a 'rebate' since they no longer need the company to pay for expensive office space for them.
It is amazing to me how dilgently people who criticise cryptocurrency are attacked when they comment about it online. I think cryptocurrency is a story of how easily the work of idealistic software authors is co-opted to support the motives of people with more selfish intentions. One could argue its a microcosm of the problems with the internet and so-called "tech industry" as a whole.
Even in 1984, it was said that many people willingly bought televisions. I vaguely remember a character saying he wanted one but couldn't afford it.
The pre-pandemic status quo is clear, but the point is that it doesn't need to be this way. Google can afford not to cut pay.
