I Have to Believe This Book Cured My Pain
Man, why don't you just go outside and get some fresh air? Seriously nobody wants to hear this. Don't yuck other peoples yum.

Nobody is celebrating genocide. People want to get together with their families and be happy.
There's no way latency over the internet would be low enough to jam together... The latency of normal local computer soundcards without ASIO is too high for jamming. Anything above 10ms is noticeable.
> Generate a new seed phrase on a hardware wallet

Now you're depending on the random number generation of a hardware wallet. And (possibly) depending on its method of deriving multiple private keys from a single seed phrase.
If you establish a few trees and vegetation in an area it creates an oasis that is cooler than the surroundings as well as retaining water.

I may not celebrate Thanksgiving (not American) but I would still like to say thanks to hacker news. I don't remember how long ago I discovered it, but it's been an amazing journey. Let it never end. Thank you to this amazing community.
I use Google Authenticator TOTP/HOTP. But when I first started using it, and was switching to a new phone, I learned the hard way that the keys had not been included in my backups. Sorting that out was a royal pain in the butt. Since then I have started ensuring that I have the keys backed up properly. But it’s one of those things that you might not realize until it happens. And it’s why even though I like to use it, I’d still be unlikely to recommend even to my family that they use proper 2FA instead of SMS based ones. Lest they end up permanently locked out of their accounts.

I'm stating a flat fact about my beliefs. It is how I see the holiday.

> Then you have the wrong association given the current tribal views on the holiday.

Which tribal views? I was responding to a comment that linked to a purportedly indigenous American view that mentioned the link to genocide.

> actively hurts the perception of the tribes.

Tell that to the people who wrote the article linked in the comment I was responding to.

> we gathered canned items as a staff to distribute to the less fortunate. That's the actual spirit of Thanksgiving.

How do you define "actual?" My understanding of indigenous life in the Americas before colonization is that people would have been cared for based on need year round, not once a year.
I haven’t seen this or heard this. Could you link a few isolated examples of these “not isolated incidents” of teachers “radicalizing” students?
Still sounds like a multi tenant system just with some dedicated shards. This is fine as long as the code based and db schemas are in sync.

Source? I have been underwater on a home, and it's current value was never considered for anything not related to that property. It's not like banks send appraisers to your house everytime you apply for a credit card or auto loan.

Helion is projecting a small amount of net electrical energy out of their next reactor, which they project to come online in 2024. And that reactor is designed primarily for producing He3, which they will use in their follow-up reactors designed for power generation.

So any fusion fans who still say we won't have grid energy from fusion for another 30 years are either misinformed or not very optimistic.
Yes but the selection is lost if you press enter out of habit. I had the same frustration until I realized what happened which turned that into anger :)

Maybe I'm just too old for tech demos.
I would like a similar list for e-scooters.

Does anyone here happen have recommendations for solid and - importantly - affordable e-scooters?

I’m in the market, but clueless as to what actual quality models are.
Historically, American's have never wanted to hear the truth about what the colonists did to the indigenous people of America. I would not say this is a recent phenomenon. But giving ourselves a pass to forget it allows us to perpetuate the violence against indigenous people.
True. I thought a copy on write system would solve the “too much” issue. It made it so much worse.
Thank you, HN, one and all. You’re my favorite online place.
> Note that by "public" I mean cameras facing streets, sidewalks, etc. I can always choose not to go into a store if I don't want to be on its cameras.

Given how cheap and ubiquitous internet-connected security cams are now, this seems like a distinction without a difference. Unless you expect the “free market” to deliver a brand of “proudly webcam-free” businesses (don’t hold your breath), this is just going to mean that you can’t go in any stores.
Or we could teach critical thinking skills in schools.

They’re going to hit college, or the Internet, or cable news, and find all kinds of totally bonkers ideas. Wouldn’t it make sense to prepare them to deal with dubious information?
I don’t know. I’d be roughly as uncomfortable with someone tweeting to a large audience that they saw me at a certain location at a certain time as I would be with someone posting a photo of me to a large audience.

Ask HN: Best way to find cofounder organically?
Since the start of covid, I have been working remotely (as most) and I'd like to set myself up to organically find a cofounder soon. I don't have many close tech friends. Do you have any recommendations?

I thought the best way to do this would be to apply for a graduate CS program and go back to school, make some friends.

"Wait.. you're applying to grad school just to make friends to meet a potential cofounder? Why not just keep working in industry and make friends through that?"

Yes. Since I graduated from school and went straight to remote work (which most definitely is impossible to establish new genuine friendships with people through) I have no idea if staying in the working world is a genuine way to make friends and potential cofounders.

And What about the cofounder matching services? Is there any that you have tried that have worked out for you? Im very skeptical of these but open to hearing stories.

Thanks!

You would need something that is unlikely to happen from random chance like a valid CRC over the block of data. A flag won't cut it since you can't make any guarantees about data integrity when the system is being torn down mid-write.
The point here was that the value is not so important when you're not looking at your home as an investment. This is a very real argument. A house has many functions to the owner who actually lives in it vs am investor. Ofc you might want to sell at dinner point and then the value matters but it's not unreasonable to picture a hike owner who will never sell for as long as they live
If Bob is renting, then when the situation changes he risk losing a house over his head. That could be:
1. if the landlords decide no longer to rent the property (e.g. if they retire or move abroad);
2. if he is priced out of the current area due to increased rent;
3. if he retires and no longer has the monthly income to sustain paying rent;
4. if he gets a girlfriend or boyfriend and they want a bigger place, or if he has a child;
5. if he wants to modify the house in some way (e.g. change a room into a child's bedroom, or redo the kitchen/laundry area to add a new device, or replace the shower or boiler with a more eco/environmentally friendly one).

Or are you saying that he should become homeless?
More likely, they conclude that if they don't exist, they can't be fined.

In my experience, the amount of money invested reflects the collective belief that a given technology is going to succeed and be profitable. Investors will act like fusion research is not worth investing in all the way until someone actually achieves self-sustaining fusion for the first time. Then, funding will rush in and investors will walk over each other like it's black Friday to throw their money at fusion startups, which will start popping up like mushrooms.

It will be just like deep learning. There wasn't really much investment in neural network research and hardware until the field started having some big breakthroughs, at which point cash started flooding in and the community got extremely excited. I think we'll see fusion breakthroughs in the next decade or two, and it's going to be interesting.

I appreciate your comment. I guess I am frustrated because I grew up with the colonizer mindset, that the Europeans who came here were nice people that did nice things and everyone had a big party together. I did a school play when I was a kid about making friends with the Natives.

It wasn't until after school that I learned what was really going on, and now when I see celebration for this day I really do just think of genocide. Probably not the best way to approach this but I was surprised at how strongly users are flagging any comment that mentions it. It makes me feel like people want to keep up their cognitive dissonance, and it feels like that mechanism is what allows our nation to continue harming first nations people to this day.
I've been a HN member for 11 years and 11 months to this exact day (I joined Christmas 2009).

Since then, I've lived in 6 different cities, 5 different timezones and worked on countless side projects. But all this time, HN has always been my most visited month after month.

I can always count on this place to keep me up to date with the latest tech trends and read discussions between reasonable people. Thank you all and especially dang for keeping discussions high quality. Especially as the quality of content on the rest of the internet deteriorates in the pursuit of virility.

It's a testament to you all that place feels the same as it did 10+ years ago.
There's a difference between a warrant with a gag order and noticing that someone is trying to hack into a user's account.

I see no reason to think Apple will want to stay silent about an attacker trying to hack a user's account just because they might stay silent about warrants with gag orders.
How does one manage this risk? Presumably they need your credit card number pretty immediately, and bank or other sensitive information (SSN) within the first year or so. They would have all the necessary bits to open credit lines at that point.

And in the meantime, they could run all sorts of unauthorized charges. Do you review the monthly credit card bills for a couple months, a couple years, or forever?

How do credit card companies treat charges that were not authorized by the cardholder but were run by someone who was authorized by the cardholder to use the card? I assume they don't treat them the same as fraud resulting from a stolen card.
People don't want to deal with an Ebenezer Scrooge saying "bah humbug" after a year of lockdowns and not seeing families. Interesting topic but maybe one for after the holidays.

Flattening a country isn't a victory. It's the act of a toddler not getting its way and then upsetting the gameboard so nobody gets to play.

I suggest you re-think your definition of victory.
Yup, this is it. And you don't need to do it for every single backup. Before running the backup, do four coin flips. If they all end up heads (adjust the number of flips based on or how much time you can afford to spend on backup testing) you test the full recovery process of the impending backup.

Of course, it will depend on several parameters, but in my experience, doing a thorough test for a random subset of items is often more economical than a half-assed test of all items.

As a bonus, the random sampling will let you infer things about the totality of all items. (As opposed to any other scheme for selecting which items to test.) So once you've run 27 tests and only one failed, you know at least 85 % of your backups work. At 1/20th of the cost of testing them all, this is a good deal on information.

> It's comparatively easy to say that with hindsight.

Yes, and I omitted an essential factor: All the funded projects that failed and are mostly forgotten.

> There was about as much reason in 1940 to predict that making a nuclear bomb was feasible with enough resources as there is today to think the same about fusion power generation.

My impression is that it was believed to be a very likely project, and mostly a race with the Nazis. An excerpt from Einstein's letter to FDR, credited with kicking off the project:

In the course of the last four months it has been made probable—through the work of Joliot in France as well as Fermi and Szilard in America—that it may become possible to set up a nuclear chain reaction in a large mass of uranium by which vast amounts of power and large quantities of new radium-like elements would be generated. Now it appears almost certain that this could be achieved in the immediate future.

This phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable—though much less certain—that extremely powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed.

Au contraire - your setup is way more sophisticated than mine! : )

I have some 433MHz kit, plus a bundle of various arduinos, but (for me) the complexity of getting them to talk back to base has kept me procrastinating for years.

The ESP8266/ESP32 devices, with WiFi built-in, are effectively the same price as arduinos (here in AU, via ebay) but so much more convenient because of that extra memory + the wifi. I'm going to have some frustration with the 3 vs 5 volt, especially with some of the more esoteric components, but so far it's been a breeze to setup.

As Outworlder observes, my back-end is way more complex than a normal human would need - I'm replicating a stack we use at work, so it's basically taking up a bit of space on my home lab. Cortex is for a serious (enterprisey) amount of long-term storage of time-series metrics. Prometheus is easy enough to set up - it scrapes web end points that contain key / value pairs in plain text, and puts those in its own time series data store. Sqlite will scale just as well, I'm sure.

If you have the bandwidth, I can recommend playing with some of these things, just in case they may make your life easier later. Prometheus (server) will run on a Raspbery Pi easy enough.

https://github.com/G1Tech/youTubeStream/blob/master/promethe...

That's a code fragment to run on an ESP and present a prometheus-compatible end point with a handful of key/value pairs - if you have a spare ESP, run it up, and hit the endpoint to see what I mean. The simplicity is compelling.

If / when I go down the path of custom components plugged into arduinos - and I'd like to one day build something to measure the levels in my rainwater tanks - I think that I'd try to get those data back into an intermediary device (esp or RPi) that could present them in this opentelemetry format, as it would make it easier to swap things around in the future.

Grafana is fantastic, and can produce some gorgeous visualisations from Prometheus (and other) sources. You may even be able to get it doing something with your sqlite DB.

Running up a monitoring agent (Prometheus' node_exporter, or InfluxDB's telegraf - functionally very similar) on your laptop may be a good way to experiment with live data and visualisations with low-effort. (Note that Telegraf will by default try to push into an InfluxDB -- I'm not a huge fan of InfluxDB -- but you can configure it to provide an otel / prometheus-compatible scrapable web endpoint instead.)
Light is not fast enough to do this for real... Do they have a new UI trick that is good enough to be fun?
I wasn't arguing, just augmenting. Your point was essential.
I think Schuko is my favorite. It's (somewhat) compact, shields the live prongs, and feels solid. For a while I was running my computer/monitor from a fused German surge protector wired to a US 240V outlet.

> They will be a big driver of shifting more car trips to other modes. And shifting more families to owning fewer, or even no cars. When we need fewer cars, that means we can build less parking, which lowers prices at grocery stores, restaurants, and other places. It lets us build things closer together, allowing us to build what consumers want — walkable neighborhoods like Culdesac Tempe.

Simply put, the biggest impediment to me using a bicycle now is that I don't really feel safe taking a bicycle to most places I want to go (or at least I'd have to carefully plan my route in a way that I don't to drive). E-bikes could help me cover a bigger range but I don't think they're going to solve that problem.
Agreed. I can think of a few words off hand I learned here. Rejoinder has probably been my favorite.

This reminded me to buy a new hard drive for secondary backup. Is it just the nature of so many reviews these days, or is it impossible to find a drive now that won't likely fail in a few months? I just spent an hour on Amazon and other stores and can't find a single drive that isn't littered with relatively believable 1-star horror stories... many of which include things like "I've had 3 drives from X brand before but this is nowhere near as good as the old ones."

(Side note, I also see the same comments about the shoes I want from the company I've bought shoes from forever).

Is this comment overload from naive users in the hard drive sector, or has quality control dropped across the board?
I sideproject an afforable VA business so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Build a framework or guideline set. Be as descriptive as possible. Have room for errors but don't expect them to come up with creative solutions. Subsitute expectation with pleasant surprise and instrucions with needs.

You want someone to be an extent of yourself but that doesn't mean they are going extend you, unless you are super forgiving of mistakes and you are extra ordinary in your communication.

Always try to document communication if possible. Helps you to control their mistakes and helps them to remind you when you are being forgetful. Balance postive phrasing, directness and empathy.

This advice set seems a bit too exaggerated but in our remote work setting that is fundamental. But for irl there is some leeway.
I read somewhere that musicians can only tolerate up to ~20ms latency to be able to perform together “live”.

The speed of light gives you ~186 miles per millisecond, which assuming you need to make a round trip in 20ms gives you an upper distance of ~1900 miles for live performance.

In reality however this will be much lower due to processing overhead, speed of light in fiber (~0.7e), and internet backbone topology.

Curious to know if the creators have done any tests, (or can show any demos) of the effective range this works at?
