There is always a trade-off between convenience and security, and in the comment about http user's convenience is considered a priority.

Papers are distributed with IP-addresses stamped in many pdf files upon their downloading from publishers, and nobody seems discussing it. This is incomparably more harmful than some random MITM somewhere done by someone and requiring an infrastructure invasion. But even this has not yet posed a real threat.

BitTorrent: anybody directly intercepts the IP-addresses of seeders, and again, no much worry. No need to hack in as with MITM, it's just yours, go watch.

So, no problem with MITM in this project, at all. People who want to steel the projects reputation or name, simply squat domains or make various groups.

In my opinion MITM is no much different from intercepting a phone conversation by connecting to physical wires going to your apartment. It's very localized.
It's actually a good take. They pointed out that you don't need an extra piece of software or device.
Not a huge fan of his, the porch pirate fiasco shows the caliber of character. I also got the impression he was sorry he got caught and not sorry he presented his video as truth. Most youtubers advertise which is the way they can continue to make content creation their job. As a parent it is your job to be aware of your children's activities and if you use unregulated content provider as an electronic babysitter you get what you pay for. On the scales I think he is a force for good more than evil, but I still won't be watching his channel.
There are ways around that. For example, users can switch to a third-party keyboard, such as TRIME:

In any case, using Freenet is safer than using a platform that is actively monitored by the government and linked to the user's identity.

Copyright is the unfair practice at work here enforcing high prices for distribution of information, a service which can be provided at practically zero cost when not restrained by force.
The main problem with that solution is that most young-ish people know that if they ever want to own a house, they need to get into the game early so they can build equity.

Besides that, rentals are often way too expensive (matching or exceeding a mortgage payment in big cities) without providing a similar amount of value:

- Can’t do what you like to the interior, like painting walls.

- Not built with the same sort of layout homes have. For examples, loads of three bed/three bath rentals meant to be split by roommates, but not many with a nice room for a home office.

- Often does not provide an important amenity (like AC).

- Almost definitely less space.

- Likely less peaceful, especially if noise insulation between units is poor. (Getting bothered by a neighbor is a lot easier.)

If we want to attract the type of people who want to buy a home to instead rent for the long term, those aspects need to become better. Apartments need to be more desirable than houses.

And that means the folks building apartments and the apartment management companies need to offer a lot more for less. And since apartment buildings are also investments, that will never happen, because the ultimate goal is profit.

I feel like in both cases, it comes back to the fact that property is an investment. It doesn’t make sense for anyone to loose value on an investment, which means there is an inherent pressure to make prices go up over time
FBI raided Branch Davidians in Waco for budget reasons. Budget hearings were several days after the botched no-knock raid, and the local sheriff said David Koresh regularly jogged down the road and could have been picked up peacefully any day.
"And I would bet this would still work."

Yes, it would. You can operate a spreadsheet in that manner using any .NET[1] language. You could do it with any COM aware platform before .NET existed. Today you could use Python if you want to remain among the cool kids while doing it[2]. Judging by the popularity of that repo there are a bunch of people doing exactly that.

This is a late 90's era problem. I have a hard time imagining any programmer having difficulty with this. Then or now. Literally anything that could run a VB macro could programmatically manipulate an Excel spreadsheet.

Such approaches are fragile. No doubt about it. They rarely survive a major version upgrade of any component without some fussing. On the other hand the same basic APIs that emerged in the 90s work today with little conceptual change, so the value of the investment in this knowledge has never been wasted.

Review: Kena: Bridge of Spirits is this year’s best Zelda 35th-anniversary gift
This is great work. There are a lot of great recommendations on HN. Before this, I had this page archived and have been reading through it- https://hackernewsbooks.com/top-books-on-hacker-news.
Much of the central US lies within easy reach.

Keep in mind that the same general region is a major coal-producing zone presently, and much of that coal is burned locally for generation: it's cheaper to move the electricity than the coal used to generate it.

This also means that a substantial amount of the transmission infrastructure is already in place.
Off topic, but what is the theme in the main screenshot? I often saw that kinds of design (much rounded, much gradient shadow) in new SaaS.
To me a weird part where these hit hard is on shared access to common resources.

The two options I see are either:

- Have shared access baked in the service and each user has its own account, with its own auth means

- Go through elaborate schemes to somewhat share a single account's credentials.

Shared access with multiple accounts is currently a PITA in most services. Apple for instance still doesn't really understand how families work. Google is also suboptimal, even for cases like common photo libraries (not albums, whole libraries), and their weird separation of standard accounts getting access to all services under the sun, and GSuite/Workplace "second class" accounts doesn't help at all. I don't see Microsoft being better on most of its services, but I don't use them enough to have a strong opinion.

So the remaining way to handle these fairly common issues is to have a master account shared among two or more people, and most of these auth options rely on biometrics or fairly personal services. If that's the path forward, I wish they'd clear the surrounding issues first.
You can’t compare to JavaScript as most JavaScript runtimes have a JIT. You’d have to compare against PyPy or something like that but it hasn’t seen anywhere near the amount of performance attention like any of the browser JavaScript engines.

Finally, CPython is very old. That means it made decisions around multithreading it still has to live with to this day whereas the JavaScript implementations have always been single threaded and added multithreading much later (learning from the experiences of other languages making the transition).

Dynamic typing is part of the problem but you’re right that it’s not the whole thing.

> Even Gecko does now.

In matters of GPU and multithreading, it’s not a case of “even Gecko”—in these fields, Firefox is leading the pack among desktop browsers by a very considerable margin. Firefox is the only one with actual GPU rendering (via WebRender), and I haven’t heard of any competitors even starting on doing the same, which will take them years. As for advantageous use of multithreading, Firefox has led the way here with other parts of the Quantum project (again driven by stuff that was incubated in Servo), though I have a feeling Chromium has also been steadily doing more too; I think parts of LayoutNG might be multithreaded?

The problem isn’t that Rober creates content and gets to profit from it, that’s capitalism 101. The problem is that no one is policing or watching over the content makers. Educational channels can quickly turn into infomercials for manufacturers that paid the highest price. Not saying Rober is doing that, but there’s nothing really stopping him.
I did that for a while, but I want to kind of enforce it. If a sight is unusuable without JS, maybe its worth finding an alternative.

Or maybe form a new sub-internet of just javascript-less web. HTML, server-side rendering, etc.
Would love to see a demo of this being used, perhaps with a camera feed of the keyboard alongside a screen capture of emacs - kind of like some of the typing demos by contemporary keyboard enthusiasts[0].

My understanding is that yes, it can sometimes be dependent on biology, but the really interesting part is that it's also highly dependent on circumstance and your work environment. ADHD & procrastination is a good example: the behavior of people with ADHD is not uncommonly described as "lazy" because ADHD delays the brain's development of executive function capability. Well as the article points out, for decades procrastination has been shown to be a problem of executive function, so if your ADHD brain isn't fully capable of executive function you're practically guaranteed to fail at executive function in the same way that causes procrastination. The behavior is almost identical: you're continually putting off the required task.

But not all procrastination is caused by a literal brain disorder. Your neurotypical brain can be capable of executive function but still fail at it. The article points out some reasons why:

> When a person fails to begin a project that they care about, it’s typically due to either a) anxiety about their attempts not being “good enough” or b) confusion about what the first steps of the task are. Not laziness. In fact, procrastination is more likely when the task is meaningful and the individual cares about doing it well.

You don't need to be biologically impaired to be confused about what the first steps are. You don't need to be biologically prone to anxiety to be anxious. More importantly, you can change your surrounding environment/circumstance to change these factors and therefore change this particular behavior.

ADHD is actually really interesting because its executive dysfunction can be so effectively compensated by the environment. The same environmental aids that might compensate for the executive function failure of a neurotypical procrastinator can also compensate in someone with ADHD to the extent that they perform at the same level as their neurotypical peers.

Subjectively, I think that's a really surprising and clever finding. This high circumstantiality isn't necessarily true for all psychological traits. Research suggests that homosexuality in males, for example, is not so easily changed or predicted by circumstantial changes. It's also not clear that you can compensate for the dysfunction of Aspergers/Autism and its resultant behavior.

(feel free to correct my science, I admit I'm not so well versed in it!)
The problem with biometrics is that you cannot change them once they're compromised. On top of that, we leave biometric data lying around all the time - your phone is full of your fingerprints. While there might not be great systems to abuse that yet, it does make me hesitate whether biometrics are the way to go.

Biometric data not getting as much legal protection as a password can also cause issues.
> The big question is, if customers are going to stay over a long run.

Plenty of public companies have had several years in a row of >100% net retention. When Dropbox filed its S-1 it had a graph showing that every quarterly cohort of customers who had signed up had continued to grow massively in value over time, and i imagine the majority of successful SaaS co's could show a similar chart.
You've literally stumbled into the answer yourself here.

> Drones have already long had the capability to do all this, lift and endurance, auto flying and navigation, GPS, even cameras and some autonomous visual recognition.

If that's the case (which it is, you're right), then why are we not already delivering medicine to remote areas with drones?

Show HN: Building a tool for testing services. Now supports gRPC and REST
Hey HN,

So at work we have bunch services that were developed over several years. Developers have come and gone but the services remained. We have SOAP, WCF, REST and gRPC services! Nowadays, most development is done with either REST and gRPC - the WCF ones get a small bug fix every now and then. Doing QA testing on these services can get a bit challenging especially since each service is tested using a different tool. Developers and testers have to learn how to use each tool, and its quirks. Juggling back and forth can get trying at times.

I figured what if I build a single tool that can support all these services? One tool that can support many different type of services and has a consistent UI/UX. So, that's how FINT got started. I dont know if the name is memorable enough though (naming is hard). I simply took the first letters of my wife and kids names.

FINT currently supports gRPC and REST. WCF support is currently being developed. I should have that out by end of October. My plan is to also support GraphQL, SignalR, OData, REST (w OpenAPI/Swagger code gen)

> A larger workforce leads to more economic output, more innovation (there are countless innovations that have probably failed to be made over the generations due to the impact of women not working) that leads to quality of life improvements, productivity improvements, price drops, and other improvements.

You're thinking too short term. This logic does not work for more than one human generation.

Say you're playing Civilization. I give you a button in the "change civics" category. You click it, and two things happen:

1. You double the number of professionals in all cities, as a factor of your total population.

2. Your population growth rate goes from strongly positive to slightly negative.

Do you click the button?

Let's make the numbers easier: If you don't click the button, you have a 2x growth rate per generation, and if you do click the button you have a 1x growth rate, i.e. perfectly balanced replacement. Well when happens if you click the button? You get ahead for one generation. But your opponent catches up in the next generation. And in the generation after that, they have 4x the population and therefore 2x the professionals. Before long they're outproducing you on every dimension.
Why is it silly? you van use other clouds and not prop up your direct competitor
"Ruminating" is generally defined as thinking a lot about bad/negative things from the past.

Anyone who has paid any attention to Buffett or Munger will tell you there is no indication they do anything like "ruminate". They appear to think a lot and analyze things, but it's almost all forward looking. And they seem to be very happy. Munger even had a small child die of cancer and said something to the effect of "at some point you just have to dust yourself off and keep moving forward".

Image classifiers aren't what I said. BabyTalk in 2013 could take a photo and write out "This is a photo of one person and one brown sofa and one dog. The person is against the brown sofa. And the dog is near the person, and beside the brown sofa." (All correct.) That's almost prehistoric in neural-network years.

That does not describe what economics has looked like for a few decades already. These days, it’s all about human behavior. Just look at the sample of newest papers collected at NBER:

https://www.nber.org/papers?page=1&perPage=50&sortBy=public_...

If you look at these, it should be clear that most of published economics these days is basically social science done using quantitative methods. The homo economicus has always been a straw man, but these days it is laughably so.

Visual studios support for minidumps is top notch. You can load it, there’s a symbol server if you’re dealing with a binary not built locally, and then you can fire up the parallel stacks to visually see what all the threads are doing.

Yes it's been an interesting one to read through Microsoft's "what's new" for Windows 2022, there's multiple references to TPM support and Credential Guard and the MS Edge Browser (features we have already). We then have Azure Only features, and "Azure Hybrid" features.

Microsoft have effectively done what you describe with Exchange. Current literature is pretty open about the fact they are barely working on the on-premises version. Which would be fine if they sorted out the hybrid management situation.
Metabolism doesn't decrease with age.

Body composition changes gradually over time. Going from healthy and fit at 20 to overweight and unfit at 40 can be reversed, it's not an inevitable decline.

Eventually aging catches up, but it may not be until 60s or 70s when metabolism takes a noticeable hit.
