Definitely! You can decide within Fastmail’s settings[0] which domain you want to use for masked emails. It can be fastmail.com, one of their fun domains like afcrichmond.uk, or one of your own. I've even seen some 1Password coworkers buy a brand new domain purely for their masked emails, so you can generate a “good.castle3827@youdontneedtoknowme.com” while still using “me@mydomain.ca” for your actual personal email.

> Then again, this idea of the self as master is as old as Aristotle, but the ancient Greek polis was a whole political organization built for that idea.

I was hoping the latter part of that statement was a pointer at what you would go on to elaborate on, but wholy agree. Nichomachean Ethics, for anyone who's closely read that text, is an aristocratic parenting guide more than anything else.

But what's more, much of modernity's discourse of rational agency is built upon this master/slave metaphor; up to today where we still refer to whole demographics as 'incapable' of self-mastery.

> R2 is designed with redundancy across a large number of regions for reliability. We plan on starting from automatic global distribution and adding back region-specific controls for when data has to be stored locally, as described above.

Does that mean automatic caching across regions? Low-latency read access everywhere without an extra CDN in front of it?

I think we will find that majority of companies that do potentially block it would be companies we don't want to do anything with to begin with. My thinking is a lot of companies only want a single user to register once so they can track that user anyway they can.

For example, I opened up Agoda once in firefox private tab, and searched for 2 specific hotels to get an idea of pricing. As I had signed into Agoda, less than 5 minutes after searching both those hotels were listed on facebook with discounts. So with ad's and social media blocked, the only way they could link me was via email.

If everyone starts using fastmail to hide their email, then companies cannot do this targeted advertising and will block it.
Co-founder here. TerminusX is the cloud version of TerminusDB 10.0 [1] and is in public beta now. We went back to the drawing board and decided to really simplify the interface while making the concept of the document more central and making the primary interaction method be through json documents. We end up with a document-oriented knowledge graph or document graph.

As we are looking at versioned data products in a knowledge graph, we hope it dovetails with folks that are looking to implement a decentralized data mesh type architecture.

We still have the Git-like branch and merge functionality, but it should be much easier to build data products.

If I remember correctly, the core Splunk patents are from around 2006. Once the patents expire, could an open source project duplicate the Splunk indexing structures? As much as Elasticsearch has tried, Splunk is better for logs.
This is a good point, and thanks for the links.

Sometimes it does feel like gimmicks all the way down. So much of the "digital market economy" is about generating demand, as opposed to answering demand.

Conservatively, I'm in favour of serving people's existing needs rather than making them anxious of FOMO something new. But I can see how demand-generation is more profitable: if you get to define what "useful" or "desirable" means, you're gold. "Competition is for losers."

But I see the solution as essentially the same: education and mental resilience. To move the needle back to personal agency, do the "malicious packet blocking" internally, rather than ex-post with technology.
The point is that "detectable" says more about the instrument than anything else.

If there's no science that says "one atom of lead anywhere in your body is bad", then saying "detectable" is meaningless.

I mean, if you said "we found a detectable number of bullets in half of children", now that would be bad.
Looks great, but a bummer for Fastmail subscribers who use Lastpass. I can't imagine the nightmare of switching my family from Lastpass to 1Password. Password managers truly do create a lot of intertia. Though we're all Apple, at least I have the family using a third-party password manager in case we one day change hardware providers. For now, I suppose I'll have to stick with manually creating aliases.

Gigabytes for thousands of threads is just barely true; if you reserved say 8GB each for 16k threads, you would just about use up the 47 bits of address space reserved for userland on Linux leaving nothing for text or heap.

Certainly a few MB per thread isn't too crazy though; at 8MB per thread, you can have a million threads and use only a tiny fraction of the address space available.

My partner does this. OTOH, I love sleep and feeling refreshed when I've had enough. She's open about being pretty driven and makes her choice based on what's important to her.

Seems to me workism is part of that calculus. Balance usually requires opportunity cost. One has to value sleep, time for hobbies, time to spend with family... more than the real or perceptual carrot offered by wrapping one's identity in work. Or not. It's a choice regardless of whether made consciously or not.

I'll finish by acknowledging there are structural inequalities that make this, for many, a choice from a set of equally unappealing options.

That's so... Naive? The reality is that the chips will cost the same and Intel will pocket the extra margin. And the rent.

Consumers are already used to pay X for CPU, the price tolerance is already established. What makes you think that Intel will want to cut their profit margins?

How about Chicago:

> The biggest reason is that essentially Chicago and other cities around Illinois required the use of lead service lines all the way until 1986, long after it was recognized that lead was poisonous and other cities had stopped using it. A decade after other cities had stopped using it Chicago and other cities in Illinois were not only using it but requiring the use of lead long after everybody else.

We can easily convert just fine in the US:

> "Alexa, how much does 4 million gallons of water weigh in metric tons?"

> "4 million gallons of water weighs about 15 thousand metric tons"

:-)

Not that this actually makes it easy to deal with unit conversion, because we still have to find the right gizmo to ask and phrase the question right. "Hey Google" for instance when I ask it the above question just tells me how much a million gallons of water weighs in pounds.

Not being sure if Google was right on that, I asked Alexa how much 1 million gallons of water weighs in pounds. It told me that 5000 gallons of water weighs 41726.320547 pounds. If I ask without saying I want the answer in pounds it then does tell me the answer for the requested 1 million gallons in pounds.

But if we happen to ask the right gizmo, and happen to phrase it just right...unit conversion is no problem for Americans.

(Of course I still had to do it by hand, because Alexa's answer disagreed with the answer at the top of this thread, and I am not confident that when Alexa disagrees with an HN commenter that Alexa is right).

Scaleway also provides a similar service. Had an issue recently (deleted a bucket, and couldn't create another bucket with the same name) and their support replied back in minutes.
I don't think we disagree here. If old systems stay with a legacy technology and do other work instead of changing that foundation, then staying with the legacy technology can become technical debt - not the decision itself, back in the day.

But Apache is not a legacy system and still a completely valid choice, next to alternatives like nginx and caddy that have their own advantages and disadvantages. There is no reason to swap Apache out by default, apart from maybe sometimes in specific situations.

I've had this thought for a product multiple times. I run my own mail server, and for years I've created a random email for every service. Main reason was to figure out who is selling my email addresses.

The main thing that always held me up was, how do you plan to avoid getting blacklisted at the domain level if people start abusing the ability to create random emails? A few services I use even disallow Gmail addresses.

As someone who works in ads, this is a spot-on summation of the current state of tracking. And that's without getting into how machine learning can use seemingly unrelated data points to learn more about you than you could imagine.

At this point if you have even the most basic connections (US bank account, home owner, gps, insurance, a car) the more sophisticated tracking methods can still learn about you and reach you with a decent success rate. It's just that most companies are using crap ad tech.
I mean literally that the PiTool running in the background takes like 10mb of memory. I've seen a lot of reports from friends and online in the sim community that their beastly systems can barely pull 90fps steady in the G2/Oculus headsets, meanwhile I'm at almost double the FOV at 120hz steady, maxed, on a worse system.

We've tried everything we could to get their headsets to run smoothly. There are multiple guides in the iRacing forums about combing through every line in all relevant .ini files, setting up windows, nVidia settings, etc.

> Never in the history of the world have people had to work fewer hours per week

This is false, medieval workers used to work less than we do[0]. We work less than 1800s laborers, but their life conditions was such an aberration that it gave rise to the socialist movement, mass strikes and bloody revolution attempts, which in turn forced governments and capitalists to reduce the average labor time.

I don't understand why people keep saying Lake Mead when referring to water use. Technically the CAP canal come from Lake Havasu. But it's all from the Colorado River.

Regardless it's not the primary source of water. The majority of water for the Phoenix area comes from central Arizona rivers. The Salt river project, the Salt river and Verde, etc. You can see the big reservoirs to the east of Phoenix and from groundwater.
One thing that I think is quite cool in that realm is that if ZKP (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) advance a bit further you could easily proof that two hashes come from the same input without having to have access to the input. With that migrations of hash functions, and in practice providing alternative download locations from multiple content-addressable storage systems would be possible.
In what way is it reminding you of that incident?

The paralels I can see:

- both involve energy installations.

- both happened in the same state.

The differences I can see:

- one involves a gas utility the other an electric one

- one has killed and hurt workers while the other did not killed nor injured anyone.

- one happened after several years of operation, the other happened during installation.

- one left the state without energy service for 20 days, the other did not affect service at all.

Don’t get me wrong. I love reading about how complex things go wrong, one of my favourite pastimes. So I thank you for your link. It just doesn’t seem that similar to me. Not sure you would be citing the same case for example have they not happened in the same state.

If I have to choose a failure which the Big Battery fire reminds me of I would rather choose the Florida International University pedestrian bridge collapse. Why? It seems these batteries had adequate safety functions and monitoring planned in for their operation. Just these systems were not activated during the installation in the right order. Similarly with the bridge it seems they did calculations with the full bridge in place, but nobody seems to have checked if the intermediate steps during the construction will stay up too.

Another similarility (to my untrained eyes) is the aim to install a system fast. The bridge project wanted to be a flagship for accelerated bridge building, and the big selling point of these Megapack installations is how fast they can be comissioned. With the bridge project we know that this demand for speediness was a contributing factor. Was it maybe also with the Big Battery fire too?

> Topics like this bring modern attitudes about identity to a tricky spot.

Not only identity but if you follow this train of thought also criminal responsibility. If I'm not mistaken there is a well known correlation between (childhood) head trauma and serial killers. I remember a case where a guy suffered brain damage in a car accident as an adult, underwent a complete change of character and committed a murder thereafter (can't remember the name though).

These examples are extreme cases for sure, but the effect is much more subtle. There are studies showing that nutritious prison food leads to lower levels of violence etc.
FWIW I think the late Dan Kaminsky is the person who originally invented this two process userspace TCP scan technique 2001-2002ish in his tool Paketto Keiretsu.

It's a good one.

I sometimes wonder if it inspired some of the TCP-in-userspace stuff that is done in go (gvisor lib, I think it was).

I'm glad Rob is continuing the development of this idea and continues to scan the whole internet. Scanning the whole internet is cool. It's a shame it's de facto illegal these days (and will get most internet connections in the USA terminated near-instantly).
> There isn't a good general purpose eInk tablet

I have a Boox Note Air that's fantastic and about the same price as the RM2 after import taxes. The built in Epub reader is far better than most off the shelf apps, because it supports E-ink centric features such as "embolden text" and "darken image" that are especially helpful when reading colour PDFs.

Note taking quality is more than good enough for me with the stock pen, although there are fancier options available. Best of all, you can split screen between the note app and the reading app, so you can take notes as you read.
The (very) short version is that it is a much better alternative to Hadoop, built for the container era.

That's precisely what MSVC does since 1995 or so: inserting the calls to the _chkstk() function that touches the guard pages. I believe gcc also does this when it targets Windows.
Field cotton plantation slaves worked 12-16 hour days six days per week. Independent yeoman farmers worked less but there are fewer records so it is harder to make statistical arguments about how much the typical yeoman farmer worked.

There are certain types of farm chores that must be done every day (like milking dairy animals) and cleaning out stalls. Others are more seasonal like weeding and the level of work is very different depending on climate. Another thing to consider is that firewood, charcoal, and dried manure are the fuel sources which are all labor intensive to gather.

So, workdays of sunup to sundown aren't abnormal but there are lots of different jobs to do on a homestead that are on different timetables. It's not the regimented kind of work you would see in a factory or on a commercial plantation. Winter is also a lot of work when you have animals, actually more work because they are just sitting in a building eating and shitting the entire season. Cleaning out shit in the winter is a deeply unpleasant chore. Some kinds of animals are culled for winter but no matter what you are still taking care of at least some of them.
Even if they spun off the most likely scenario is that YouTube would just create their own ad infrastructure just like every other major tech company. They're not going to give away some of their margins, especially at that scale.

Right now they have the advantage that their parent company Google deals with the ads infrastructure for them without any hit to their margins since all the revenue rolls up to the same company anyway.

No matter what all these adblocker advertisements tell you here on HN: Safari only allows these extensions to have a single blocklist and then your choice is whether to enable or disable the adblocker extension, with all its fixed and non-dynamic rules, on the website in question.
From that perspective, Safari adblockers are virtually identical, simply because they are all using the same interface and (I would suspect) resell blocklists you get to use for free elsewhere.

It's people selling you a subscription product that is vastly inferior to any free extension on Firefox (not on iOS obv) and the same discussion has been had many times before.

I mean, I don't want to be a negative nancy here, but it does get annoying with these ads that seemingly have lost all perspective of how bad adblocking on Safari truly is.
