I greatly sympathize with the author's dislike of dealing with images. I'm still waiting for an inexpensive image hosting & manipulation service that I can push images to at massive scale, get N variation images back (from a source image) along with links for the images to then be placed within my service (along with some primitive image transformation options, nothing too fancy).

I absolutely hate dealing with hosting and managing images for services I build. I've yet to find anything remotely cost-practical that rides on top of eg AWS or the equivalent and just provides a simple thin layer service so I never have to store or manipulate images again. Take AWS, add a modest margin on top for the image management & manipulation layer. I've been waiting for someone to do this for 10-15 years at this point. Perhaps either there's no great business there (not enough potential customers interested in having image hosting managed away), or everybody else hates dealing with image hosting too.

Companies like Cloudinary offer such services, and their prices are obscene (eg $100/month for 225gb of bandwidth and storage).

At some point I'm going to just have to build it myself, get into the image-hosting-as-a-service business because I hate image hosting so much.
You missed the point of the comment. It was saying it does affect his mood, he just doesn’t have the EQ to realize it consciously. And to be honest, and someone who finally started getting in touch with his emotions by branching out my hobbies and interests… I see exactly where both comments are coming from.

Saying it doesn’t affect his mood is like a kid who claims they don’t suffer from sugar crashes, or people who claim their diet and mood are unrelated. Conscious awareness of mood is not necessary for it to affect behavior.
Overseas remittances from family members in New Zealand and Australia play a big part in the economy. Also, Pitcairn Island used to have a stamp bureau selling stamps to overseas collectors.

As for taxation, don’t worry, soon enough they will be taxing electricity used to charge vehicles! Just take a look at the different tax rates on diesel for public vs farm utility ! - I’m assuming it still differs significantly (I’m living overseas, but planning a return home)
That is one reason I very strongly believe that US-only top level domains like .edu, .gov and .mil should be phased out and replaced with *.us TLDs. Then, US based colleges would be under .edu.us, just like e.g. Australian ones are under edu.au, and US-specific businesses could use .com.us domains to indicate this.

But that seems quite tangential to the point that recapcha, being deployed internationally, should be much more effectively culturally internationalised! Just having a language isn’t enough - there are big cultural differences between Spain and Mexico despite both speaking Spanish, and Brazil and Portugal despite both speaking Portuguese, for instance.

Ideally yes, but there are practical reality to working with the Chinese government, taking Chinese government grants, and going to Chinese schools.

We’ve survived assassination of the President on multiple occasions. I have no idea what people think the January 6 rioters could have done to meaningfully affect the country. It was a very small populist uprising that was quickly put down. (We’ve dealt with those too—Whiskey Rebellion, etc.)
If I recall correctly the supply ship goes a round trip between Pitcairn and Mangareva which means you can get off on Pitcairn and wait for it to come back from Mangareva. I went on a chartered yacht being operated by a Pitcairn based tourist venture. Choices then were to stay for 2 days or 11 days. I stayed for a month due to the charter yacht needing to leave and then return with a department of conservation employee to investigate a rat sighting on Henderson island.

There were many private yachts visiting the island while I was there, coming and staying for a few days then leaving.

Sounds like you'd be the type of person that would want to use e-mail instead. You'd get benefits for switching too -- e.g. not exposing your phone number to the person, increasing your privacy, and ensuring that they cannot prank call you in the middle of the night, etc.
With Moviepass, they had to pay money to the movie theaters every time somebody went to see a movie. This isn’t quite the situation WeWork is in.

I think it’s more like a movie theater or gym.

They’re already paying for this big empty building. If they can drop the price a bit and get interest, the marginal cost of one more body isn’t that high. But drop the price too much and it hurts the brand/image/value to those willing to pay full price.
That thread is fascinating. It's seemingly entirely occupied by people who are very well educated except for a glaring omission on the question of the most important things in their lives.

It's well known that women very rarely date/marry below their level, which means an extremely narrow dating pool for these women at the top, not matched by their male peers. The same is simply not true for men. And if you're a man thinking of bucking this trend, you're putting yourself in a pretty risky place.

And it must be intensely frustrating for them to find it when they correctly surmise that they're running out of time (for having kids), after no one ever offering this wisdom before they had to suffer the consequences. I'm watching my siblings and my wife's siblings, along with many coworkers, suffer in this way, and it seems agonizing.
Public documents will eventually be a supported feature, yes.
Aviation Is as Sustainable Now as It Will Be in Your Lifetime
It'd have to be a big private yacht, as Pitcairn has no sheltered harbours.

For a small yacht, even in the lee of the island, it would be difficult to stay for long, and you'd have to be prepared to leave whenever the weather changed.

A lot of "baffled scientists for decades" is more that the scientists know about it but have never taken time to look as there are other things to do. It is a ridiculous spin.
It never really was about statues. If it was, then every thing - from the Pyramids, Great wall of China, Harvard law school, Yale University, Apple, Temples, Mosques, Churches, Mecca, the Taj Mahal, the state of New York, the NYTimes, everything should be destroyed. They even destroyed the statue of Frederick Douglass last year and tore down the statue of Teddy Roosevelt and Lincoln.

It's about erasure of history, destruction and gaining power over others. It's much easy to repeat history if no one remember history. Same way ISIS destroyed statues and ancient monuments. And people who let it happen because "who cares for such small things" don't realize that this is how they let the overton window shift by giving away an inch while they are really taking a mile.

LineageOS isn't designed to be used with a locked bootloader. Most devices supported by LineageOS don't support relocking the bootloader with a custom key, and for the devices that do support it (mainly Google and OnePlus phones), it's not recommended to do this on LineageOS.

Not OP obviously, but I’ve seen superficially similar cases. It is hard to put in words, but some people just wouldn’t need to be online/on smartphones if it wasn’t for the pandemic, and they wouldn’t have any specific issue in their day to day life.

Perhaps drawing a parallel with social networks could help: when such a huge portion of the population is on facebook properties, it could look crazy to not have a facebook account. Perhaps there wasn’t enough help to explain how it works ? But we understand not dealing with facebook has upsides, and while it creates hurdles, they can be worked around. We wouldn’t push someone to go on facebook if they had no need to.

Obviously we are talking about exceptional cases, but if they were happy as they were, it could be worth keeping it that way if they don’t have an appetite for changing.
They didn't have to kick him out. He was withdrawn from school, had a falling out with the PhD advisor he needed to get back in, then sued the school. After he sued the school and lost, professors really didn't want to be his advisor.
Even though the VC bill will eventually come due, the moviepass analogy doesn’t quite hold up. Moviepass was in a situation where they were selling discount tickets and then paying the movie theaters for (essentially) full price tickets.

WeWork has these big empty buildings with the lights on, whether anybody uses them or not. Adding one more body doesn’t increase their costs that much. So discounting a membership at least helps bring some cash in and gets a new person interested in the service.

The more people used their service, the more money Moviepass lost. With WeWork, they need more people to sign up to have a chance at getting out of the mess they’re in.
The underlying idea I think you're missing is that personnel disputes just shouldn't be litigated through the media. There's no reliable information that can be gained and no productive discussion that can be had; the only possible outcome is to feed our confirmation biases and provide a platform to get mad.

For example, you mention:

> Where did all the Friends of Voltaire go, I wonder? Where was all of this sympathy and assumption of good faith for Timnit Gebru and Margaret Mitchell? Why does HN only ever go to the mat for sociopaths, bigots and assholes?

But lots of people went to the mat for Gebru and Mitchell! And many more were willing to provide an assumption of good faith without necessarily taking their side. You're condemning people who argue against you here, not because of anything they said, but because of your assumptions about what position they might have taken in a different controversy about different people. The article has tricked you into getting angry at phantoms and guesswork.
I don't see what's "non-trivial" about the decomposition:

described in section 3.2 of that specification. Looks pretty trivial to me.
When the KMT left the mainland and set up shop in Taiwan as the communists took over China, they brought with them loads and loads of Chinese cultural treasures. Now might be a good time to trade those treasures back to China in return for future independence. That sounds like a fair deal for both sides.

China may think they can just invade Tawain and take the treasures back but by now they are all probably buried deep under Cheyenne Mountain.
Ask HN: What is the best tool/service to keep credentials out of GitHub?
I recently started working with a new client. They are a fast growing startup with a successful product. They had previously outsourced some of their initial development. They had only one computer programmer on staff, and he is very junior, with just 1 year of experience. I've been called in to help them hire a tech team and put in places various best practices.

One mistake that had previously been made was credentials for 3rd party APIs were embedded in the code and uploaded to Github. Not too big a deal, no harm done, nothing leaked to the public, but still, I'd like to put in place some automatic monitoring to protect us from this.

I'm aware of 3rd party services such as https://cybelangel.com/ but in the past I had the odd experience of getting a warning several weeks after a breach. It would be better to have a much faster warning.

Please assume code that contains NodeJS and JVM code. Please assume a fairly traditional devops setup, which might rely on something like Jenkins for deployment.

I'd be grateful for any suggestions regarding:

1. 3rd party security monitoring services that you've had a good experience with

2. or tools specific for NodeJS

3. or tools specific for JVM code

4. or tools specific to Github

Anything that has worked for you, for catching things like usernames/passwords, please let me know.

"What no other major player did, and what Google is now abandoning, is XMPP server-to-server federation. The Google representative said "XMPP was designed over a decade ago to provide a way for chat networks to interoperate, known as federation. Google Talk was the only major network to support federation, and after seven years, it’s evident that the rest of the industry is not moving to embrace this open system. If, at some point in the future, the industry shows interest, then we would then be open to discussions about developing an interface that's designed for modern needs.""

Can't speak specifically about DFW->LA (looks like 1,400 miles), but in my Tesla I can do Denver to Wilmington with 0 overnights, sane, as a solo driver... 1,800 miles. Precisely BECAUSE of the charging, I can get in a "power nap" while charging, doing the recommended 25 or 50 minutes to fit with sleep cycles. Usually around 24 hours in I need to take an extra 50 minute nap in there.

Again, it really depends on the individual. This works for me.

As far as leaving the pump goes, I was painting a picture of some of the "death march" drives I've done, didn't necessarily say I was solo. I, personally, wouldn't leave the pump while pumping, not because of theft but because, you know, of the spewing of gasoline if something went wrong.

As far as your original point... I've done that math multiple times, I have 2 gas cars and the EV, and continue to pick the EV over the ICE. But, again, that will vary by individual. My personal experience, coming as a gearhead who has taken quite a few non-stop road trips both solo and with others, is that the EV for long trips (I've done 5-6 1,800 mile trips in it), are better in my EV than ICE cars, and that's with 5 year old tech. A current Tesla will have fewer, shorter stops.

Your speculation is perfectly valid, of course. Doesn't sound like you've had an EV, which is why I call it speculation. The point I'm making is that I've actually had that choice, 1,800 mile trip where I can take a EV or a ICE, and I've chosen the EV on multiple occasions.

They mean that they need to fiddle with those specific video registers twice a frame, which is 100 or 120 times. Vblank timing isn't too hard, the base system has an interrupt for it; scanline timing is hard though, you either need to carefully time your loop (and redo it for 50hz systems), or poll on things, or use extra hardware built into the cartridge (mappers).

I don't think there was an IRQ for sound, but it might have made sense to poll the audio unit rather than the graphics unit for some reason.

I think the most offensive element of Apple's approach is that your device, that you paid for and own [1], is acting in a way that can only be against your own interest.

There is really no good argument to allow that. Most of the other user-hostile features are at least somewhat explained away as also benefiting the user (e.g. claims that targeted ads are preferable to irrelevant ones, telemetry helps cover the users' use cases, buying the subscription service is actually a win-win, etc.) Nobody would choose a feature like this voluntarily. This is simply preinstalled malware.

I really wonder whether Apple realized how badly they just burned down their entire privacy-centric advertising campaign, where the core selling point is that unlike others, they act in your interest.

[1] Spare me the Stallmanism, I'm talking about the device itself.
I'm not sure what your point is; the title is an entirely accurate summary of the content of the article.
Hah, I've lived in Bangalore for about ~20 years and I've never heard of this. Very fascinating.
I don't see how there's any middle ground here. Anything apple does to try to prevent sexual abuse will by definition infringe on the privacy of users. And I don't think there's anything apple can do to prevent cp that doesn't create a slippery slope to preventing other things that governments (potentially authoritarian) deem unsavory,

Frankly, this entire thread seems like a bad attempt to take a centrist position without providing any real justification for the position to have value.
Except, as mentioned in the article, they _did_ look into it, to the extent of DNA testing it! And still didn't come to a particularly satisfactory conclusion. "It might be an agave, but also the agave expert says agaves aren't like that" is about as far as anyone seems to have gotten.

Thanks for the reply. It'll be interesting to follow the progress.

Can definitely see wanting to keep the compiler and code in a known state. Though modern SDCC generates code that's probably 50% faster in some cases and with 90% less bugs than versions from the early 2000s.

Atari had a patent on a cpu instruction to wait for hblank, I suspect Nintendo didn't put anything similar in the hardware as a result. But it was needed, so interrupt generation ended up in cartridges... And since they didn't get sued, put in the next gen hardware.
That concept as a wind energy system was called a Darrius Rotor. The same blade angle concept allows the blades to adjust to wind directions.

Darrius Rotors became famous with the "egg beater" design - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darrieus_wind_turbine
What can you learn from an IP address? (2019)
The idea of living on these remote islands fascinates me, especially in today's modern world where many on this planet are able to take certain conveniences for granted.

If you have a medical emergency while in places like this, you may be in serious trouble. Even in places like Antarctica, and even at the top of Mount Everest, we have modern medical facilities within range and helicopters that can come grab you, weather permitting.

Out here, a heart attack or stroke brings on a different level of scary, knowing you are going to have to cross your fingers in the same way as generations have in the past. There is no-one sending in a flight to get you off the island. If you happen to survive past the initial event, it's going to be a while before you see a specialist!

Of course, this would be the same conditions the original explorers to land here lived under, and in fact most of humanity for the majority of human history. But it is not something people tend to think about too much these days when we're generally at least within distance of where helicopters and planes can reach.

The FAQ even covers it ...

> Note that if a medical evacuation is required, transport may not be quickly available, as outside our supply ship schedule the island has to rely on passing vessels.

Even for something like a broken hip, just hope they have enough pain medication on hand until that next ship arrives. Which, if it's on schedule, might be in 3 months.
Of course. This is exactly why companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple publicly announce these systems. They know it's impossible to stop people who have sufficient technical knowledge. Given that it can't be stopped, their choice is to have nothing to do with it.
Elastic.co one thousand percent. I just finished a migration from AWS managed ES to Elastic.co. You literally only need to use both for a couple of hours to notice that AWS treats ES as an afterthought. I could name many things such as better security, interface and cold/warm storage configuration.

I'm from Malaysia and I once tried to do something very similar. What makes this better than other services like Foodpanda, Grab, and HappyFresh? What does Titipku do better?

Also what's your policy on non-halal groceries in the app? One of the things that put me off was seeing pork and alcohol on the front page, which implies it might get mixed with halal deliveries. Titipku implies that it buys "anything".
