I was putting both options side by side for a comparison, but you are strictly in the right with what you said.

I still believe that for those that must choose between either option in order to access higher education with no option for an acceptable loan, it's not so clear to me that people (who am I kidding, able-bodied men) would choose Amazon first.

Is there any path to a perfect world system within one lifetime? I’d be extremely skeptical. If you agree there isn’t, then no matter what the world looks like during our lifetime, it will be imperfect. It will be the wrong system.

The problem with views like the ones being expressed in this thread is that they suggest at every moment that the thing we need is revolution. That there is no way to advance an imperfect system by doing good. And after any revolution, you’ll still be left with an imperfect foundation, so you’re still forbidden from doing good, and you need another revolution.

It is insightful, pointing out where good intentions cause an imperfect status quo to perpetuate longer than it otherwise would. But the status quo will always be imperfect, so we must find ways of advancing it that don’t force everyone through a lower point in order to reach the next maxima (which is sorta what you do when you encourage all those with good intentions to stand down).

Not that I’m saying all revolutions past weren’t valid. When you lose the freedom of movement that allows people to seek out higher maxima, then the only way forward actually is revolution.

That's the idea of the JWT, no DB query or in this case additional network request needed to authenticate.

Depending on your use case it's worth thinking about the expiration time. I assume that's checked in your client but do you also need to invalidate tokens or downgrade permissions before they expire? In that case you might want to work with smaller expiration times or get a denylist.
Yes, most physicists agree that human observers are not required to collapse a wave function. Even the QBists speak of “agents” that are abstract entities, not necessarily human beings. (An agent is something like a “point of view” or a “reference frame” in that it can be thought to exist independently of a living, breathing human who inhabits it.) However, n.b. that the great Nobelist Eugene Wigner did seriously think it had to be an actual human consciousness. (Or a dog, but not an insect.)

Full disclosure that I’ve never really been able to pin down the QBist notion of an agent myself and do not find QBism (or any such “instrumentalist” interpretations” of QM) appealing.

That's surprising - when I have a chance to take a "remedial" course on something that I feel like I already know well, I always end up learning at least something I had never thought of before.
It's so weird that this is even needed. I mean didn't they already have laws that requires breaks, etc... Leave it to Amazon to come up with a legal or computational strategy to work around the existing laws.
When HTTP was first developed there was literally no available mechanism for micro-transactions. If HTTP had been opinionated about micro-transactions it would have been stuck with Beenz [0] or Flooz [1].

Personally I don't want an application layer protocol, especially a global standard, to be opinionated about payment methods.

I’m not sure why you would presume that. Also, product placement has been a standard feature of entertainment for a long time. I don’t see why you’d expect Google and Facebook to be the ones to take a stand on this, after all this time.

The thing that's weird is trying to group a bunch of people with differing sub-views on things into one "leftist" group and then trying to judge them all at once. Obviously they'll seem odd when you do that.
I also no longer self-host a number of services myself, but thanks to "the Cloud", it's fairly trivial to "write five replicas of each repository across our three data centers to protect against failures at the server, rack, network, and data center levels". Uploading data to AWS S3/other cloud storage (with some additional, but fairly trivial scripting on top) gets you that same level of redundancy - or better! I don't want to be the person on-call when my self-hosted server's hard drive dies in the middle of my vacation, among other reasons, are why I use eg, GitHub.

There's an informed decision to be made when graduating from a computer in your basement, to a colo'd server, to using a VPS (or dedicated server) in the Cloud, to using a consumer facing online service. But if you're willing to have your data in the cloud, replication that used to take setting up multiple colo'd machines across the world (which I couldn't compete with, either) is fairly trivial these days. (A HA failover setup is left as an exercise to the reader.)
Is there any service that I can just upload a py file and a requirements.txt and it will just run? No bundling, packaging, git, cli, etc. Not even for a web app but main use case is to host a Discord bot.

Long-time dokku user here. This seems interesting.
How nicely does this play with more complicated things, like configuring ports for SSL, or using additional Dokku plugins?
How about things like configuring the container network and things like upload size variables, or the wait time when deploying, etc.?

Hey - Thanks for sharing! I think projects in this space are really interesting. Especially if covid and crypto continue to make fast compute expensive and difficult to get.

Mightyapp is one you might be familiar with for browsers.

I don't write much for Android (yet, I'll keep this in mind if I do wind up writing more). What I would be interested in is a version that does the same thing for rendering in Unreal Engine. I believe unreal already has the protocols for distributed rendering but the cloud services that do it look sketchier than this.

One tip, I noticed in the pricing in a few spots it says "ultimate" I believe you may have meant "unlimited" there.

Good luck with this!
This guy is just another Trumpian conman and magnet for boomers that are experiencing empty-nest syndrome. He's cut straight from the typical right-wing cloth of claiming false victimhood (i.e. leaving on his own accord but implying otherwise) while he himself is victimizing others (a track record of deliberately trying to hijack the peer review process to prove a political point, and failing miserably).
Why even bother? Who’s going to buy these?

This works like TrueCrypt hidden volumes, which are volumes created in the free space of volumes.

This is not secure against multi-snapshot adversaries, like those who can take multiple snapshots of your storage at different times.

The solution is to hide the access pattern, for example by using a write-only oblivious RAM.

I'm currently working on a cloud database that uses searchable encryption. In a database the smallest things can hurt you, both the access and search pattern (must hide the encrypted data that satisfies the query condition or multiple query conditions, the volume of that data, and hide which queries are identical). And the attacker can have auxiliary information (known-data, known-query, inference).
On top of that the database must be verifiable (authentical, sound, complete, fresh). Encrypted and non-encrypted data might be searched together (partitioned data security). A database must be resizable, that's the point of a cloud database. And then there is data sharing. And it must be cheap. The existing solutions in the literature either compromise security or practical efficiency.
The argument structure of this post comes off as disingenuous. You can't make detailed statements and then hand wave the issues away as FUD. If you make a claim, you need to stand behind it and be prepared to defend your statements.

FWIW, Stanford claims, "Tuition is covered for undergrads with family incomes under $150,000. Tuition, room and board are covered for undergrads with family incomes below $75,000."[0]

Taxes are not the right answer. If you are impacted by a negative externality then you have legitimate standing to sue the source of the externality in civil court (individually or as a group) in accordance with how much the side effects of their actions cost you. If you can't demonstrate that you were actually affected, or the damage is too trivial to be worth taking to court, then for all practical purposes there is no externality and the government has no business getting involved.

I don’t understand the relevance of that link with your point, although I mostly agree with your point I’m hoping you can provide more information on how your evidence is relevant.

The link is mostly about what happens when there is too little currency. Someone deciding to work 40 hours a week instead of 70 would, if anything, reduce the amount of currency in circulation because more wealthy people tend to have larger savings and a person working 70 hours a week is probably making more money than if they were working 40.

I've done both. Mdma crystals tends to feel way softer somehow, I think because pills are often cut with other speedier type drugs. Sleep was easier on mdma but the come down was still hell if you took enough. I had come downs that went on for days maybe even a week. I hate all of it now :)
I think it depends. For small, fast-writtent rants, txt files are great (my crap-computer-that-is-running-next-to-my-box didn't even burned when the post reached the front page of hn).

I really see the point in not having to manage a whole big ecosystem by ourselves (I use gitlab, sometimes github). The rant was about using an interface on another website (not the email API) in order to submit a PR or an issue for updating a website. It's a standardized way of doing an edit (and it can be painful when you don't know github), and more and more websites are using it.
Technically, yes, we can do this. There are practicality issues to deal with. If you use trees to mark your fire perimeter, what do you do if a tree burns down? They can catch fire from on top just as easily as from on bottom. probably more so as every time I've ever seen the aftermath of a forest fire it's always been left as stumps.

Then, there's structural rigidity, deployment times, and the sheer mass of material people would have to deploy to make a firewall like this work. You would need something like an 18 wheeler stuffed to the brim with this foil and support beams to stave off a football field worth of space.
I Traded My First Ever NFT for a 500% Return on Investment
Things to look before starting to trade or mint NFTs

1. Have a Metamask or Trust wallet (Cold wallet),
( secretly store your seed phrase)

2. Transfer some crypto funds to your Cold wallet,
(A small amount)

3. Check out https://rarity.tools/ for upcoming NFT projects,

4. Search for any of the NFT Marketplace,
https://opensea.io/ (OpenSea)
https://rarible.com/ (Rarible)
https://www.airnfts.com/
https://lnkd.in/gDXg676P (Wazirx NFT Marketplace)

5. What are you now waiting for, go and start exploring, minting, collecting, and trading #NFTS.

Point to be noted, NFT Marketplace is a very illiquid market, it might take weeks, months, or maybe even years to sell your first #NFT, and neither of this is a piece of financial advice, it's only for educational purpose and do your proper research before investing.

I don't understand the point of changing words like "many" to "mony" or "man" to "mon". I mean if you're anyway writing the entire thing in modern day English then why do this.

Is it just for the effect of it I.e., making it look sophisticated? or is it some kind of attempt at retaining the originality/authenticity?
To be pedantic, I think you need to say "the act of writing to a hard drive adds mass". There is no reason to expect that writing a 1 or a 0 adds more or less mass; if there is a difference in energy states, it would depend on the encoding scheme.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot to mention that. The performance gains are immense when you use Pl/pgSQL to eliminate round-trips to the database. That's easily one of the most important reasons to use Pl/pgSQL.

The vast majority of data-heavy web apps today must have the database running on the same server or within the same datacenter -- they can't tolerate any kind of latency between the application and the database server because they failed to reduce round-trips. Ever tried deploying MediaWiki on an application server with >20ms latency to the database server? It just doesn't work -- each page takes several seconds to load.

If you minimize round-trips to the database, it gives you more flexibility on how you can deploy/host your database server. That's flexibility you want when you're designing failover/disaster recovery schemes.

Show HN: Consent management, reinvented
Tom Scott used an example of a phone system for results of an STI test to demonstrate this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZM9YdO_QKk
Hi Hacker News!

I'm Eli, the lead engineer behind this project. I am excited to share Transcend's Consent Manager with you.

Consent management platforms handle the task of complying with the various data privacy laws to ensure that your users privacy rights are respected, and certain forms of tracking emissions only happen with the appropriate informed consent. You may have already seen how bad consent managers can get, with annoying popups blasting you all over the web asking if sites can track your personal data.

The current consent experience is broken. Existing consent management platforms aren't compliant (missing tracking technologies embedded in widgets, fonts, and more), rely on a homepage banners (distracting your users and driving up bounce rates), and compromise site performance (breaking elements on your site or slowing down performance).

Now that all changes – with Transcend Consent Manager, site owners can:

• Move the consent banner down the user journey or ditch it completely

• Enforce and manage fine-grained network-level consent rules in an easy-to-use admin dashboard interface

• Block, quarantine, & replay tracking events cross-session or in-place (e.g. a same-session DOM mutation is replayed or a fetch() promise is resolved).

• Override requests to use alternative domains or enforce privacy rules on parameters, skipping the SDK. (e.g. we can automatically enforce Facebook's LDU parameters, Google Consent Mode, Google Ads RDP, YouTube Privacy Enhanced Mode, etc. with no site changes)

• Optionally generate dynamic consent-derived Content Security Policies

• Privately sync consent & quarantine data across a first-party set of hosts without data ever leaving the browser

I previously announced our closed beta two months ago[1]. Today, we are finally launching general availability! This is a paid service ($39/mo + $12/million sessions) and we offer a one-month free trial for anyone that wants to evaluate our consent manager.

Transcend Consent Manager is powered by airgap.js, a JavaScript library created specifically for data flow regulation. See the infographic: https://cdn.transcend.io/infographics/airgap.js.gif

Check out the blog post from my previous submission to read about our engineering journey developing Transcend Consent Manager: https://transcend.io/blog/defeating-cookie-banners

It's worked for millions of people for many years. Some things are hard. If you want it you'll work for it. I realize this is some foreign concept to people that grow up and have their parents hand them everything. A lot of people work during college and are able to get less loans because of it. Weird eh? My mom did it at 40 with 3 kids. She retired last year with a masters. Every bit of it was done while working.

Navattic (YC W21) is hiring
Hi HN!

I’m Neil, one of the co-founders of Navattic (YC W21) (https://www.navattic.com/). Navattic helps teams create interactive product demos for their SaaS application. For reference, here was our HN launch back in March (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26478189)

When you’re looking to buy software, one of the most important things for users is understanding whether the product will meet your needs.

Navattic helps teams to create an interactive & shareable version of their SaaS app, without involving engineering. Many teams choose to embed these interactive demos on their website so visitors can instantly try out the software, without needing to sign up for a trial or request a demo.

For reference, here’s a live customer example: https://www.monitorqa.com/lp/interactive-demo/

Right now we’re a small, 5-person team with ambitions to build the first end-to-end platform for product-led growth.

We’re growing and are looking for a full-stack engineer to help solve interesting technical problems around DOM serialization, own new feature development and help build our development cadence broadly.

If this is of interest to you, feel free to apply using this link (https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/navattic/34563733-9b10-449a-9d27-c4...) or send me a note at neil [dot] mclean [at] navattic [dot] com with “HN” in the subject line.

Thank you!

Did you ever run into a scenario where you had to replace a single file specifically?

I have found that to be quite tricky. There is some data for a site I'd like to be able to update dynamically, without redeploying the whole site (as that may contain draft pages / content).

How do you handle this scenario?
Native german speaker here.

Have no clue about UI conventions nor grammar, but I'd expect either "Öffne Ticket" or "Ticket öffnen". "Öffnen Ticket" is wrong, just as "Ticket öffne".

I suppose the Flixbus app was made by native German speakers coding in English language. That would explain why they chose "open ticket" rather than "view ticket" or similar. As some of the parent posts said, you also "open files" here, so they probably just did what they assumed is right.

Denglish (Deutsch-Englisch) is full of this.

Happened to me as well; for most of my life I used "eventually" incorrect, thinking it means "maybe".

* German "eventuell" = English "maybe"
* German "schlussendlich" = Englisch "eventually", "at last"
You could be right and I might be wrong. I get the feeling for them it’s more focused on sportsmanship and fellowship than adversarial competition.

If the focus were on winning then they’d recruit like the other schools for their sports teams (pac10, bigEast, etc. I know some have expanded and names have changed)
