skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I’m wondering the same thing. The only thing I can think of is being able to correlate times, ports, and traffic volume from some origin, to some VPN node, then look for near identical data coming from that node to an ISP, and then on down the chain to identify the victi-err, I mean “person” accused of being a bad actor.

So I wonder: would the copyright nazis be able to use this kind of data corollary in court against an accused defendant? If the offense is civil I could see it being admissible since the burden of proof is lower (just has to be “fairly likely” AFAIK, but IANAL) than in criminal court. Though I don’t know if copyright infringement is a civil or criminal charge, and trust may depend on state.

Still, at best they could only match up pieces of the chain to dates times and data sizes, not see the actual data being transmitted over that connection (broken/weak crypto withstanding). But that might be enough to further persecute fair use, not to mention since other very dark stuff.
It’s ridiculous but companies have made their bed by abusing the collection of people’s data and using that data unscrupulously and insecurely. So, you know, I have little sympathy here for the companies.
Show HN: Cloud Pricing API (GraphQL) – 3M Prices from AWS, Azure and GCP
Given the video in the link that you sent - I wouldn't say that it's "accidental" - they said they killed anyone who met the "criteria" and the "criteria" was anyone who touched a walki talki because the Talian has taken the phones offline and they suspected ISIS was communicating via walki talki. This was described as basically killing for the sake of killing (agree) - but accidental makes it sound a lot less sinister.
I'm an absolute heavy user of reader mode in Firefox, not only for reading content per se, but to clean up content before I copy/paste it into Evernote. I just love the feature.
Hi HN, this is the 3rd Cloud Pricing API I've worked on. It's an open source GraphQL-based API that includes all public prices from AWS, Azure and Google; it contains over 3 million prices that are automatically updated via a weekly job.

My previous iterations were in 2010 (scrapers to fetch cloud prices as vendors didn't offer APIs then - there were over 10,000 prices back then) and in 2015 (a RESTful API - there were over 100,000 prices then).

Whilst this latest Cloud Pricing API was built with the open source Infracost CLI in mind, I'm curious if people find it useful as a standalone thing? I'm happy to help people who want to build stuff on top of it.

Yeah I think it's more something done in industrial contexts (shut down the factory for two weeks, etc). Though definitely less painful when you end up with 6 weeks a year of days off in total.
That is the point. They should have numbers to show which industries get rates, and targets that a company meet (how is an open question - it might not be possible) to move to a different rate - either up or down.
That's just a regular webhook, the GraphQL-native solution would be subscriptions-over-webhooks, but that will require support in the GraphQL clients.
Why not? It's a matter of cost ultimately. A gigawatt-hour of battery storage is US$100 million.

There are narrow areas where incompetence could explain Apple's failures. There are others that I don't buy, after the incident where non-Apple branded devices were intentionally made to work degraded in a plausibly innocent way by memo decree. With privacy being such a high differentiator, allowing iCloud to be used arbitrarily for any feature without oversight assumes gross incompetence at all levels.
Marking the value of your company to market can make you richer over night. If you have a $10/year income stream, a bank might run a calculation valuing that income stream at $50-$100. If you can instead get investors to value it at $1000 (because it is a "tech company" and deserves an insane valuation), you are a lot richer than you used to be. Even if you lose 90% of your income stream, you are still probably richer.

This comes down to the question: why do you want to own a high-value asset? So you can borrow against it to buy more assets. This is how Jeff Bezos can fly around on a $500 million jet while selling $0 of his stock.

Because it's so hard to get traditional investment, entrepreneurs in the sex industry often see that they are a lot poorer (in quality of life terms) than people who own businesses that are much less successful.
Maybe: even assuming that the one you use isn’t run by the FBI, compromised, or sloppy with their security, it’s still easy to block transactions which trace back to one and that both lowers the value of those coins and increases the risk of using them.

Some people will say they aren’t doing anything big enough to warrant attention but that’s forgetting that everyone using a tumbler is paying extra to help anonymous strangers launder money. If anyone involved attracts attention it’ll bring scrutiny to everyone else, and potentially the need to prove that you were “just” committing a small-scale crime and didn’t know that most of the other coins being tumbled belonged to a cartel.

> Besides, why not? If the company gets bigger, all the execs win, if the company raises money and wastes it and collapses, the execs are rich already and just move on.

That mental equation depends on who owns the company. Who the big insider ownership stakes are held by. If you own 43% of OnlyFans as the primary founder, you're going to think twice about mass dilution unless it's absolutely necessary. If you can avoid hefty dilution and still build the company, your wealth outcome will be dramatically better in the end. That's why not.

OnlyFans isn't a zero insider ownership shell run by suits at this juncture. It's only 4-5 years old. It was founded by two brothers (that may still retain upwards of a quarter of the business), and then Leo Radvinsky from the MyFreeCams cam site purchased 3/4 of it. MyFreeCams is a money spigot, which funds Leo's venture activities, including the purchase of OnlyFans. Taking an enormous dilution hit would not be ideal for someone in that position, he would want to be very strategic about it (he already has financial resources).

This is Leo's venture capital enterprise:

I love tools and have tried so many over the past year including these new "hot" ones like Roam and Notion. After all that I have come full circle and reinvested in making Evernote work better for me. It has limitations but has always had a big edge in the capture and storage part of the process. I'm still working on how best to author/render content from my work to the outside world but at least with Evernote I can get things in one place and then add notes, content, analysis where I can find it. I agree with some here that it's still hard to beat pen and paper for really creative stuff - it's so free.

Apple is claiming to have a visual equivalent to a cryptographic hash -- one which won't change with a single byte, but only if the image is substantially different.

At least their security analysis relies on that.

From their whitepaper: "The threshold is selected to provide an extremely low (1 in 1 trillion) probability of incorrectly flagging a given account"

If your claim is that their hash algorithm isn't cryptographic, their security analysis is incorrect.
Desktop GUIs are really lagging when it comes to giving the user tools to corral unruly apps. I know, they were born in a more trusting time, but mobile has understood for many years that the user-app relationship can get slightly adversarial. It's high time for the desktop to take a more solid swing at it.

Hey, maybe we could even have kept Flash around if it were easy to prevent flash ads from fighting each other to take 100% CPU. It might have taken some iteration to figure out how to map a simple GUI-appropriate slider to a scheduling policy (10% -> 10ms every 100ms?) but I bet it could have been done. It would have had a nice side effect of appropriately directing user outrage at offending applications, too.

There is no reason one cannot thot and do something else. Many of them seem to be enrolled in advanced education. Likewise, a good thot income can fund a future, either going to school at 30, when you have a much better idea of who you are, or funding a more traditional business, or snapping up a few properties.

Likewise, they might be cagey enough to learn the backend of their backend business, and come out of it with video editing skills and whatnot, possibly segueing into an advanced education in media.
I wonder if this was the plan from the beginning. Perhaps the bankers and business people with no connection to reality just wouldn't believe how disastrous that policy would be, so they make the announcement and use the backlash to get the point across.
I don't think it's official going by other commenters but as background,

They're probably making the argument that their information is mana (spirit~) and therefore tapu (sacred/don't touch).

I don't think many follow it but in traditional Maori culture you're not even allowed to let someone get ahold of your cut hair or nail clippings because they contain your mana and someone could curse you if they get ahold of it.

This is only a solution some of the time. I worked through Christmas / New Year's at eBay the year I joined, because I hadn't accrued enough vacation for it to make sense to take vacation.

But there was no work to do, because... everyone else was on vacation. Having me in the office benefited no one.

> Rights are freedoms, not entitlements.

Then a starving man should have the freedom to take a loaf of bread from a grocery store without paying. It is only the government's (or the grocery store's) infringement of his rights (by fining, assaulting, or imprisoning him) that prevents him doing this.

By starting from the premise that private property is an inherent reality of the universe, rather than a legal fiction, you force a distinction between the "right" to free speech and the "entitlement" to food, when no such distinction exists. The real question is how best should a government administer the right to property such that people's right to food is also protected.

I was using “seriously” in the sense of enough volume to be inconvenienced if the system disappeared. There were a handful of businesses around here accepting Bitcoin but it was a small fraction of their sales and I believe most of them said they were converting it to USD immediately.

Generally, the guidance in the US is that employees who perform/have the ability to perform sensitive financial actions take a minimum of two consecutive weeks off per year (that's the guidance from the FDIC, Federal Reserve, and NY DFS). There's no requirement that the employer dictate when their employees take that time, just that their vacation/time off policy must require it.

To be clear and so I’m not misleading, I was neither a pilot or a sensor operator so I cannot guarantee you that there isn’t more to it than what I know. As far as I understood the drone pilot works in conjunction with a sensor operator. Because the drone pilot is an officer he is the one to fire the missile but the sensor operator controls the laser to direct the missile. I would strongly believe that there are other emergency stops available due to my experiences but at the bare minimum, the sensor operator could always direct the missile away and the sensor operator themselves can’t do anything without the pilot actually launching the missile.

Editing to add in that hellfire missiles cannot be redirected once launched.
