I don't think shadow accounts are necessary, and given the ring detection HN uses, this could actually hurt you.

My experience has been that sometimes you post something and it absolutely takes off. Other times you post something and it falls completely flat. I can't tell what causes the difference, but it's good that they're doing things like the second-chance pool to blunt the extreme variability.

You can't quota with fixed quotas, it's not practical. Winters are not equally cold. One could charge for the infrastructure as a fixed per kWh cost on usage, so low consumers would be impacted less.

As soon as Linux desktop software becomes anyway profitable to develop and maintain, I’m sure companies like Dropbox will build for it. That’s not Dropbox’s problem. It doesn’t help that Linux isn’t really a single OS but a bunch of different distro’s, file systems, installers, making building a single client impossible. oh and horrible entitlement thrown in for good measure. Get that house in order and maybe it’ll be easier to build and maintain.

> You can call that semantics if you like, but I think most people wouldn't.

Tail Call Optimization (TCO) is an optimization, yes;

but if Tail Call Elimination is required in the implementation of a language as it is in Scheme, then programmers in the language can rely on it (along with lexical scope) to write iterative loops instead as recursive calls. That is a change in program language semantics.

> So if R2 is S3 with no egress, suddenly there is a value proposition again.

That doesn't appear to be what they're doing, they don't seem to have changed their existing operating model at all:

> R2 will zero-rate infrequent storage operations under a threshold — currently planned to be in the single digit requests per second range. Above this range, R2 will charge significantly less per-operation than the major providers. Our object storage will be extremely inexpensive for infrequent access and yet capable of and cheaper than major incumbent providers at scale.

What I read this as is "we won't bill you until your traffic spikes, then you'll pay us, oh how you'll pay us"

Transparent bandwidth pricing would be a far more interesting announcement. This is the second post I've seen from CloudFlare in recent months throwing bricks at AWS over bandwidth pricing, while failing to mention CloudFlare bandwidth is some of the most expensive available.

right, that's why every burned out at the roadside RV I've seen in my lifetime (probably more than a dozen now) was on the upward slope of a high mountain pass, or at the peak...

I know the feeling, as do many others I believe. It’s “normal” in the sense that you are very much not alone, but it is not a state of mind you should accept as unavoidable.

I think the self-help tips people are describing are worth trying, but you should not beat yourself up if they don’t work for you even if you feel like you understand them intellectually.

If you have access, I’d look into seeing a psychiatrist and/or therapist. It could be some combination of depression, ADD, and anxiety.

I’d also recommend this podcast episode. It articulated a lot of feelings I had trouble explaining to myself.

I actually wrote a paper on the US healthcare some time ago.

I didn't look at Taiwan but looked at European nations. US outcomes were poorer and the care was more expensive.

I don't know any other first world nation, where managing medical bills can take this much time. After we had a child, I spend 40 hours on a phone trying to untangle insurance mix up made by the hospital.

I have an EU citizenship and did use healthcare in Poland. While imperfect my parents were never worried about cost. People in US do not seek care to avoid spending money, which drives the cost even higher.

I could go on and on, and maybe I can dig up the paper. Make some updates and make a post about it.
Well.. maybe they had another version in mind, and just posted the english one for ease of use, without realising it lacks the important section from their language?

>>It used to be that people who used the Internet did so under certain social norms. One of these was not to touch another's network without permission and, if caught, accept you got caught and gracefully stop it.

This is a silly argument. You're connecting to the internet, bud. It's a dangerous place, and there is zero expectation that nobody look at or scan your network. PUBLIC internet means what you connect to it is PUBLIC, at the global scale.

Shodan isn't hacking into secured devices. It isn't getting past your ISP's firewall and looking into restricted networks. It's scanning publicly addressed, explicitly broadcast ports, services, devices, and data. It's not on them to cater to your weird sense of internet manners, it's on you to wise up to what your public internet connection means.

It's been almost 20 years but when I lived in Phoenix (and had a lawn) my water bill was about $25 a month. Now in the PNW, using a similar amount of water, my water bill is about $100 a month.

Water is heavily subsidized in AZ. There is little incentive to conserve it.
Specialty doctors making a lot of money isn't the issue here.

I have a family member with a terrible back who has had multiple neuro-spinal surgeries.

There's about ~250 doctors in the entire country trained on that family member's procedure and generally speaking, they're earning well over that arbitrary $600k that you have picked. There's no reason that they shouldn't.

Quite a lot of the neurosurgeons etc. I interact with make well above that and they should. It's 4 years of medical school, plus sometimes over a decade of residency and fellowships to get to their level of expertise.
Lead paint is still occasionally found on toys imported from China. But after a previous recall incident the major US toy brands now have better control over their supply chains so the risk should be low.

On a related note, if you are building a UI, an even better solution for computationally intensive work is to offload it onto a separate process instead of just a separate thread. This ensures that the UI thread is not blocked as often due to GC. Obviously this isn't really possible in JS (outside of Electron), but this can be a good idea in languages like Java.

That’s a good idea.

However, there is an issue right now (https://github.com/trekhleb/self-parking-car-evolution/issue...), that the cars are not “punished” for hitting another cars (they are allowed to create the road accidents). That’s why if both cars have hit another cars they may continue driving and approaching the parking lot (only approaching matters so far). That’s not good, agree. But the app is in proof-of-concept stage, so it has the issues like this.
Ask HN: How do you keep documentation?
I use GitHub wiki's, but they have a few problems...

- They are in an odd separate git repo (.wiki)

- They have to be tied to another ropo

- They can't be published as a website with a URL like ghpages can

- They can't be IP restricted to an organization (maybe this is asking for too much)

What do you use and is it working?
I mean, it’s anecdotal, but all those features are ones I never knew existed and I’ve used ublock origin for years.

I was always fine with _some_ ads but eventually got ublock when the internet hit this critical mass of being all ads all the time. If safari adblockers can keep the browser experience _mostly_ ad free out of the box then they are equivalent to me as an unsophisticated user at least

Several years ago a popular gaming forum with a significant teenage audience I used to read had declared a simple policy toward threats of suicide. If you were threatening to kill yourself, do it, and stop messaging the mods, they are not here to talk you down from a ledge. It seemed pretty effective.
The "internet" isn't liable, so moderate is in the form of transparent traffic shaping. When disruptions are small, costs are either absorbed in aggregate by infrastructure owners (and user attention) until traffic is literally moderated away with routing.
Ask HN: Is the push for diversity in tech just an American thing?

How else do you get energy? I need fat if I’m replacing carbs. It’s either coming from the EVOO in my dressing or fat in some kind of dried meat. I also dont think nitrates are as bad as some people make it out to be. Same with salt. Eating cured meats twice a week isn’t hurting anyone.

Too much protein will lead to more body fat (glucose) via gluconeogenesis. Carbs will spike your glucose and lead to more snacking and tiredness in the afternoon. Bodies should be burning fat for energy.

Edit: Just checked and the Coppa I have doesn’t even contain nitrates. The entire package is 85g and last me 2.5 meals. Prosciutto di Parma doesn’t even contain nitrates.
I recall that being the case when I had an old gen2 iPad and wanted to do a few things that weren't sanctioned/supported by Apple. There were a few well-known repos for homebrew software and that's where I got the handful of useful tweaks and customizations for that (jailbroken) tablet.

I guess the issue there is that the popularity of the platform and nature of its limitations made it worth someone's trouble to maintain those repos. With something like an Oculus, I don't know that there are enough users (and also a sufficient subset that want to avoid Facebook or run some unsanctioned software) to justify the effort.
Definitely not, I'd still preferr to have proper multi-account support over having to use a work profile on Android (or multiple profiles if using a browser).
Every blog is pretty isolated from other users.

It's not that the content will be popped up to everyone when someone posted something.

There's a Feed page where you can read what others you follow have published.

There's a Explore page where latest content without any filter or categorization would be visible. This is where such content would appear, but only blogs older than 7 days would appear there (we have removed that delay in recent versions).

Basically no one noticed them.

Although we disclosed the issue we were dealing with some of the old users of platform when they complained about their posts not getting published. That was the first issue in first 15 minutes of the machine learning model classifying wrongly due to being fed mixed content (where bad content was mixed with good content from those exact blogs by spammers.)

Other than several bloggers reporting their posts wouldn't go through as expected, no one else got effected and I hope no people were lured with those scammer while their content was published on our platform.
in my experience, bingbot will also attempt to crawl lowercase URLs, even when links and sitemaps only contain uppercase/mixed-case links.

as of late, I'm finding more and more spammy search results type pages in google. Sites like www.find-guide .info, login-faq .com, convertf .com, and faq-finder .com
These provide very little value for users, yet have millions of pages indexed in Google Search. I suspect many of these types of sites are using Bing as the data source.
> Goldman Sachs estimated that as much as 44% of China's industrial activity has been hit by power shortages, potentially causing a one-percentage-point decline in annualised GDP growth in the third quarter, and a two-percentage-point drop from October to December.

Interestingly the Chinese government has prioritized residents over export goods:

> the main state grid operator sought to reassure customers, saying it would work to guarantee coal supply and strictly control power use by high-energy consuming and polluting sectors, and ensure power supply to residents during the October holidays and winter heating season.

I am not that familiar with energy markets but some people on social media are pointing out the recent Sino-Aussie trade conflict as affecting the coal supply: https://twitter.com/HelenHet20/status/1442745619240689666

Seems like overall it is a win since China might accelerate the construction of Hualong One Gen3 nuclear reactors (and could benefit of economies of scale like the Fuxing Hao / CTCS)
Google Meet Testing Live Translation Captions for Its Meet Application
Same here! I am generally not interested in shiny new tech. After I had the experience of a v1 TomTom runner watch, I decided I don’t want a v1 of anything anymore. Also new tech makes me too worried about breaking it or losing it or having it stolen. But the reMarkable 2…. I could not resist! I did the waiting list and was genuinely excited about it and use it every day. My partner also loves his, though he is very much a shiny tech person.
Interesting. Check out the futureofcoding.org slack. There are some workshops that take early stage ideas, like LIVE and PX. Keep working on your ideas and try to pull them together into a coherent explanation. I'd be happy to take a look and give you some feedback.
Late Pleistocene humans may have hatched and raised cassowary chicks
So true.

In HN articles where we discuss social media moderation there's often this idea that "they shouldn't be doing this at all". But I think for most companies and users ... they won't like what a completely moderation free site looks like.

So here we are with this painful problem.

I kinda wish there was an imaginary "real person with an honest identity" type system that did exist where we could interact without the land of bots and dishonest users and so forth. But that obviously brings its own issues.
Corium is "everything in the reactor melted together". It doesn't have to include the containment vessel. For example, in Chernobyl, the corium didn't include any of the containment vessel, because RBMKs funny have containment vessels.

For something this small the proportion of uranium would probably be higher, but it'd still be a radioactive slurry of fuel, decay products, control systems, cooling loop, and internal structural materials.

You have to leave HN for a little.

It is likely that HN has been influencing you into associating writing/coding/building with failure.

Try to work on things without the idea of "Show HN" on your mind. I think a lot of paralysis can come from trying to impress people here. The hivemind will find some way to discuss (lack thereof) profitability, novelty, and accessibility.
@Fastmail: Please let me delete a masked email after creating it. Thanks.

I just tried it with my own domain via the Fastmail iOS app. There doesn’t seem to be a way to delete things.

I do like that I can attach notes and have an easy block button. I might start using it instead of my existing wildcard setup, but need delete.

Using unique email per service is really great. I detected Zenni Optical either had a security breach or sold my information because of the unique email I used.
They already did this once before by merging Youtube account usernames with Gmail usernames. For me personally, Strike 2 == Strike 3.
I completely agree, and I rant about this constantly. But in America at least, cars have infected society to such a degree that for the average person imagining life without them is totally impossible--like asking a fish to imagine life without water. "How would we get groceries?" they ask, and the thought of having a small grocery store within walking distance doesn't even occur to them, because walking is something they haven't done for their entire lives.

Building a life of total car dependence in the 1940s-60s is IMHO one of the two great American mistakes of the 20th century, that by destroying local bonds between neighbors and strangers has led to America's current sense of deep, unspecific anxiety and lassitude on a societal level, and on an economic level has set the stage for the destruction of both small town and urban life that we've seen in the past 30 years.
> If you host blobs for free, somebody is going to use you as their host. Even if you just hosted audio, I'm sure somebody will quickly come along with a steganography tool to hide their content on your site (and use your bandwidth).

This feels like something more of a theoretical example cited versus something that has happened. Do you have any examples of steganography being used as bandwidth redirection/hosting?
It's really funny every time a "we don't censor" platform pops up catering too the American right they speed run going from moderation == censorship to we're moderating our platform in record time. Turns out moderation is really important to make a platform for a community.

Hi, my interest got piqued. I'm developing a similarity feature where I compare embeddings of a sentence and its translation. I wanted to know if the hashing method would be faster that the pytorch multiplication by which I get the sentence similarities. Going from strings to bytes, hashing and comparing is very fast. But if I get the embeddings, turn them into bytes, hash them and compare them, both methods take almost the same time.

I used this Python library: https://github.com/trendmicro/tlsh.
What can they possibly do that their core product is a commodity by now?

I believe there’s a push in orgs (where most of the money is, no doubt) to streamline their tools, or at least reduce the number of vendors they receive invoices from.
If Dropbox can have just one more essential tool in the mix they could keep their commodity service going too.
Without it, it’s all too easy to replace with something from Google or Microsoft as one of them is in every org.
Linear scaling of any project large enough to disrupt an industry (as is being suggested here) is a pipe dream.

When you are trying to scale up something that big, you eventually get beyond economies of scale for the required infrastructure and feedstock, and as a result, increase overall demand, which raises prices.

You only get near-linear scaling for a very short, initial "ramp-up" period.

Beyond that, you start cornering markets, which makes prices spike, not decrease or even hold steady.
FastMail does support custom domains for disposable email addresses.

They also have a pretty big library of email domains to choose from that I can create normal alias for, so I'd be surprised to not see those come as an option in the future.
