No, you're absolutely not buying them a restaurant. They are fundamentally making money because they provide labour in exchange for it.

A landlord is not providing labour. They are acting as a middle-man between you and the bank. They provide no service to society. A restaurant is, as they provide cooked food. One is a zero-sum game, the other is actually producing something.

Your advice is frankly shit on the societal level. There is no way for everyone to avoid long-term rentals unless we do things you are opposed to. Equally it's impossible for everyone to avoid living in big cities, the entire economy would collapse. It's senseless to punish people for doing things that are necessary for our common prosperity and interests, such as living in major cities.
The landlord gets 100% of the appreciation as well as 100% of the equity being built by the mortgage payments while the tenants are forced to pay for everything except the initial investment. It's extremely unfair and hurts the most vulnerable people in society.

They're diesel with electric transmission, but not regenerative. Many locomotives have a visible box that contains just arrays of resistors used to burn off current generated during braking.

I always wondered if it would make sense to have a battery "tender" that could accept this current from a relatively stock diesel engine... so you replace, say, four straight diesels with three and one battery tender.
The argument wasn't that ES is wrong choice, but that it will take too much effort to integrate and too long to do so.

Group of managers wanted to choose Oracle based technology for this that would further entrench their team and they argumented they can do it faster and cheaper than the development team.

They have already succeeded getting sizeable part of business logic implemented in PL/SQL supposedly to improve performance.

ES would make all their plans obsolete in a hurry.

Obviously, they were not interested in improving the product but in grabbing power, budget and control of the development process. Also they needed to score some points to show they accomplished something during calendar year.

Of course development team was also slow to deal with problems and overworked with other projects. This only fueled actions of database operations.

So my actions angered both managers of database operations as well as development teams.

The NY Times mentioned this episode in this article, which is why I mentioned my belief that it's what started these internal troubles for Tim Cook and Apple.

> The complaints seem to be making an impact. When Apple this year hired Antonio García Martínez, a former Facebook manager, more than 2,000 employees signed a protest letter to management because of what they called “overtly racist and sexist remarks” in a book he had written, based in part on his time at Facebook. Within days, Apple fired him. Mr. García Martínez declined to comment on the specifics of his case.

I do sometimes wish we'd just devote one lane of our larger freeways to self-driving cars exclusively. You could let the cars drive as fast as they want, and charge per-mile tolls for any car that uses it when the road is congested. Ideally, you'd charge based on occupancy as well: an empty car should have to pay more than a car with a human in it, and a car with 2+ people might be allowed to use the lane for free.
Maybe you could learn. Animal locomotion is pretty big on YouTube.

> I don't think that is what US political elites want but it is actually a good outcome for world peace. Russia is not moving anywhere, neither is China. Continental detente will play out over many decades, way beyond US election cycles. An independent Europe trading normally with both US and China, and Russia, is a much more stable configuration. Core Europe will feel secure at the price of peripheral Europe

Agreed maybe with some asterisk and what-ifs but this seems likely.

> However in such a scenario, while everyone may prosper, the geopolitical center will move back to the Eurasian continent.

I think moves to the pacific, south East Asia, Japan, Korea, China, Australia, Indonesia, India, etc. That's where most of the world's people are. I don't think Russia is developed enough in the east to be of too much relevance here. Long story short, the important parts move, to the slow irrelevance of Europe.

> AUKUS will be mostly irrelevant.

Yikes. I can't think that's further from the truth. This move just upped the ante and is yet another signal of Anglosphere commitment to the region.

> Sure they can pat themselves on the back for deterring China, but China got the crown jewel if it can pry Europe away from the military alliance with the US.

Well Europe certainly won't ally with China barring something insane happening. They've chosen the path of keeping more neutral, which lends to your first point about the stable configuration. A Europe allied with China would be destabilizing. But I also don't think it matters. Europe has lost its military relevance for the foreseeable future because there's just nothing going on in Europe that matters.

The whole purpose of NATO and the European alliances with countries like France was to ward of Russian aggression and keep Europe stable from starting another ridiculous world war, but... it doesn't look like that's needed anymore. So what is the U.S. doing focusing on Europe?

> France recognized PRC right after China helped Vietnam to kick them out. Think about that for a while! And European countries helped China into the UN to replace Taiwan.

And the U.S. fought to get China into the WTO and spent decades trying to forge economic ties. I wouldn't read into that too much. And then if you wanted to, well why are European countries saber rattling against Chinese influence? So I think it's more that Europe wants to play both sides, which is annoying the U.S. which is now no longer really getting the ROI it wants from European engagements, especially now that it is withdrawing from the Middle East.
I’d have to watch it to do that.

Overly pedantic but I think i^i is actually not well-defined (and in general exponentiation of complex numbers is not well defined) since e^(2 * pi * i) = 1 so for instance we would have i = e^(0.5 * pi * i) = e^(2.5 * pi * i) and then i^i = e ^(-0.5 * pi) = e^(-2.5 * i) but those last two numbers are both real and not equal so complex exponentiation only works when you pick a branch of the complex logarithm. Anyway...

Ask HN: Would you join an Indie Hacker DAO, if so how should it be structured?
I've been thinking about alternative funding options for indie hackers / bootstrappers that don't include debt or venture financing and it seems to me like a cooperative version of a startup studio / incubator could be a way to do it. Something similar to https://dxdao.eth.link where members can vote to bring on new members and potentially offer to cover living (UBI) and business expenses for a year at a time with an option to re up if there's traction.

I'm personally not a fan of crypto but DAOs seem like an interesting business structure that could make it possible to set things up in a decentralized manner and make it easier to manage members vesting in and out if they leave.

Starting this would either require a few initial crowdfunded projects or a merger of already profitable bootstrapped companies willing to use some of their revenue to fund things (ideally new projects that they'd be customers of).

TLDR: How can we build the Y Combinator for Indie Hackers without needing VCs and infinite growth?

> Also reading the source code for the standard library can be illuminating.

That's a lot more hit-and-miss. On one end of the spectrum, you have Java, where all of the lower-level, nitty-gritty work happens within the JVM anyway; and on the other end of the spectrum you have C++, where it's "turtles all the way down" almost, with lots of repetitiveness, ugly hacks to within the library to help the user avoid ugly hacks in their code, a big bunch of preprocessor macro definition checks for meeting innumerable compatibility requirements for different versions of the language standard on different platforms, and so on. Yes, you will learn from it, but it will be painful.
That sounds lovely. I should call my parents.

There's a good description here of what they're doing:
https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/wireguard/2021-August/0068...

I am curious (though happy) about their focus on performance. For most security projects, the specification seems to be 'sufficient' performance and beyond that they invest their limited resources elsewhere. The WireGuard team seems to make it a top priority.

Maybe this upgrade was needed to be 'sufficient'? Maybe they see performance as key to adoption? Or maybe they have other reasons. I could see how WireGuard's significant reduction in complexity, compared to other VPN software, could feed performance.

It's hard to imagine the Internet without WireGuard, without a VPN I have confidence in. Thank you Jason and team!

You're too lazer focused on syn attacks, there are countless others. What it boils down to is the sheer size of the botnets. You stop syn? Great, I'll make it UDP with a max payload and send it from 500k hosts. You will eventually fall over if my botnet is big enough.

I guess the problem is "simply" the use of these resource-asymmetric protocols. As a server-owner, if there was a robust alternative protocol which ensured resource symmetry, wouldn't you be naturally incentivized to adopt it and reject all asymmetric ones?

It still feels like there's a way of specifying a protocol (which of course would need to be adopted) where (1) authentication is a first-class entity (2) all non-authenticated requests enforce resource symmetry at the protocol level, while still allowing asymmetric work to be done (after a resource-symmetric auth).

Edit: augmenting the rough outline of what I originally proposed you can essentially require an arbitrary amount of proof-of-work, however useless, on the requester side (e.g., literally request a nonce such that the hash of the packet is below some value). Since only auth needs to be symmetric the overhead doesn't seem too bad.
I live in an all-party consent state, and would like to keep it that way. I don't want to be traced through other people's recordings, particularly through something that is easy to always have on.

If I have to pay more attention to the car while I'm attempting to trust it to adequately respond to a situation it put itself into, then why would I be using AP in the first place? It's not relaxing, it's making the trip more stressful.

Sometimes I wonder about the folks who think AP makes for a more relaxing drive. I think that's only true if the level of defensive driving it does matches well with the driver's innate driving style. I'm not prone to having close calls on the road because I avoid them well before they get exciting. I've ridden with people who just don't drive that way, though. They'd probably be okay with AP.

> Are people so gullible that they see an ad for NordVPN, think “oh shit I need to protect my security”, and then buy NordVPN

Well not the people serious about VPNs. The ones I consistently see popup in online discussions about what VPNs to use are Mullvad, ProtonVPN (Because of their Switzerland location), & iVPN (because they're based in a non fourteen-eyes jurisdiction, namely Gibraltar).

Of course jurisdiction doesn't matter since the point-of-presence of the particular VPN country is usually housed in some cheap colocation datacenter that could have questionable ethics and could be feeding logs to adversaries, without the VPN provider even knowing.

Then there's the whole 'we never keep logs' claim which can't be proven. So, caveat emptor folks!
Anecdotes are objectively verifiable data points. The key is that they are a single data point and can't be used to make a general argument because of that. It's a single interesting story about an event. That is a valid definition of "anecdote".
A DDoS attack is indistinguishable from a huge legitimate success. See Slashdot effect [1].

The very problem of a DDoS attack stems from that (1) each request is a small, fully legitimate request and (2) there are too many of them, coming from too many sources for filtering to be efficient. It is also mixed with indistinguishable non-attack requests by your normal customers.

So no, even the best authentication would help little.

> Our goal is to protect privacy and to find out how many people are opposed to tracking.

Asking how many ppl are opposed to tracking is a silly question that won’t get you anywhere — it’s answer in a vacuum doesn’t make sense as it needs to be contextualized. “Are you ok with google seeing your IP so they can sell you ads to give you free YouTube” is an example of context where people see trade offs. Most people won’t understand the full spectrum of what’s going on, and if it all in the end results in just ads, many are fine with that as long as they’re getting free stuff with it.

The bigger questions on societal level trade offs shouldn’t be answered by lay people but rather regulation in the name of public interest.

I recently left Apples ecosystem and switched over to Arch Linux, Migadu for E-Mail, rsync.net for backups and my own server for CardDav, CalDav and media streaming. I also switched from Apple Music to Bandcamp and enjoy listening to Indie bands througu FLAC files.

My setup is actually now much easier and faster to use. It took me 1 month of setting everything up, but I love it.

My only "problem" is now my mobile device. I still have an iPhone X but would like to replicate the same "ownership" feeling I have on the desktop.

Why limit it to DDoSing? It could be just one feature, but an important one.
I got hit with a ~40Gbps DDoS last week. These attacks are on the rise. Some responses to folks above: Success working with upstreams is quite varied. Some care, some don't, and it can be difficult to get to folks that can help- even if their networks are impacted as well. Some carriers immediately turn this into a sales opp. - buy more bandwidth, buy more services.

In our case it was based on DNS reflection from a large number of hosts. I've contacted the top sources (ISPs hosting the largest number of attackers) and provided IPs and timestamps. I've received zero responses.

Geo-based approaches yielded no helpful reduction in source traffic.

Also, during this event we discovered an upstream of ours had misconfigured our realtime blackhole capability. As a result, I'm going to add recurring testing for this capability and burn a couple IPs to make sure upstreams are listening to our rtbh announcements.

Very concerned about the recent microtik CVE, as that is going to make for some very large botnets.

Personally this all is very disappointing because it creates an incentive to centralize / de-distribute applications to a few extremely large infrastructure providers who can survive an attack of these magnitudes.
The time to fight this battle is when it's criminals in the "intelligence community" violating our rights, not when it's private citizens with slightly goofier camera phones, i.e. a long time ago.
(Though in fairness, I guess I do think every law enforcement official should have a camera embedded in their forehead.)
THat's my thought, too. Anyone who wants to hide a camera on their person can do so easily. A small hole in a shirt, coat, or hat can conceal a lens and cameras can be tiny. Yet nobody's rushing out to pass laws against "concealable cameras" in general.
