What are your sources for hostnames to crawl?

I looked into it a long time ago and seem to remember there was a way to get access to registration records, but I imagine combining that with HTTP certificate transparency records would significantly increase your hostname list. Anything else?

How much of that progress would be hindered by the mines being patent incumbered?
what heuristics or AI is being used for blocking your spider? If your spider appears human or organuc it will not be blocked right?

Is this an issue of rate limiting, or request cadence? could you add randomness to the intervals in which you request the page?

Is it more complicated? do they use other signals to ascertain if you are a script or not like checking data from the browser (similar signals to the kind of things browser fingerprinting uses... e.g. screen res, user agent, cache availability, etc...) would it be possible for the browser to spoof this information?

I imagine rate limiting the IP address is the major issue... but could you not bounce the request through a proxy network? I've tried this with the TOR network before when writing web scrapers and had mixed success... seems like Google knows when a request is being made through Tor.

Perhaps you could use the users of your search engine as a proxy network through which to bounce the request for the scrape/indexing... This way the requests would look like they were coming from any of your users instead of one spiders ip address...Im not sure how cloudflare or any other reverse proxy could determine that thise requests were organic or not...

id be ok with contributing to a distributed search service so long as my cpu was not making requests to illegal content, and there were constraints put on the resource usage of my machine.

Sorry if this came off as all over the place, I do not know too much about the offense vs defense of scraping. These are just some thoughts...
Here are the latest COVID-19 treatment guidelines. They are very effective in preventing deaths when applied early and aggressively. Unfortunately many patients wait too long before seeking care, and many physicians still don't follow the protocol.

Yeah but that messes up the balance, ie character moves from left to right - it is quiet, then LOUD, then quiet.

I guess upping the center channel is an ok solution in practice because this doesn't happen very often, but DTS:X and Dolby TrueHD do actually support a separate dialog object that you can adjust the volume of independently, but AFAIK there are no actual movie titles that are mixed to make use of this feature.

Wow, ok then. Screw the consumer. Too bad their neglect/delays/etc to update information isn't considered malice. People will lose out on homes, cars, be charged more if this false data is a negative on your credit score, while waiting for the kind overlords to make the appropriate changes.
The wisest words on this thread that I've seen. Unfortunately, the vaccines only reduce absolute risk in a small elderly population (60+), for everyone else, its a risk/reward that doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, not many understand that often doing nothing is best.

The USA is right. Unquestionably. The only thing the USA does wrong is not stand up for itself. Give away nice things, only to let the monsters of the world turn them into weapons and use them back on us. Railroads. Energy. Steel. Electricity. Industry. Medicine. Space. How did we do it? Other people's live and the decisions they make are their own. You can never really tell someone else what to do.

China is a nice, pleasant, historic, and wonderful culture.

marxists are no better than the dog mess I scrape off of my shoe. Even if they win, they still have revolution, as in, bayoneting little girls for their money. Awful, horrible, people. bin Laden was better. At least at some point he was going to stop. all marxists everywhere, go away or die. Everything they do is a lie to excuse the worse immoral criminal actions. Even animals treat each other better than marxists do. Karl Marx, the one white European man with the greatest body count, sentenced billions of us back to the stone age.

You will never win. You are not as rich as you say. You do not have the capability you say. You mess up everywhere you go, as in covid. You enslaved yourselves and run pedal to the metal grinding each other up. With five times more people you still can't keep up with us when we are on autopilot and living a life of leisure. You meddle and only bring disease and murder everywhere you go, among happy people who are perfectly fine without you. You ruined billions of lives for nothing. All that misery, and people are still dying of the flu yet alone neurological disease. Go away please. No one wants you around.

Everything the marxists do is a pr stunt for their own power. They have zero world capability let alone ambition. They really are pigs. Forget the satellites. Just keep the trough filled and hide the axe and don't fall in less you get covered in scat and eaten alive, literally. chinese marxists leaders have eaten people in the past not out of survival but because it was some sick decadent fashion trend of obedience.
In order to fix something, you first have to articulate how it is broken. And it seems to me that, from the replies, there are many different ways people perceive the current system.

Some are clearly thinking mostly about software - patent trolls or old games that can no longer be played. Others are concerned with writing, like songs, books or blogs. And for some reason Disney and Microsoft are the ones out to buy everything.

IMO software doesn't need much fixing other than the eradication of software patents (which, um, is not copyright). We don't need central govt registries for software (even before we discuss which govt - I assume they meant the Chinese govt - I mean why not - they have the largest population, don't bow to business pressure, and are good at beurocracy.)

So back to copyright - you made it, you control it, the only question seems to be - for how long? Which leads us to the question of why it should indeed ever expire? Patents have a public good when they expire - but what public good happens when copyrights expire seems less clear to me...
The beautiful (and scary thing) about cloud data warehouses is that you can scale them significantly, which means bad SQL mostly becomes a cost issue as opposed to a speed issue.

Also, dbt makes it easier to persist tables instead of views, which has a massive performance improvement.

That's assuming that the market is always rational. It might be in this case but it not always is. See the more or less recent mortgage crisis for an extreme example.

Satellites have maneuvering thrusters with a very limited supply of fuel that will last just long enough for the designed mission-life of the satellite. Approaching the satellite will cause an unplanned maneuvering burn that effectively shortens the life of the satellite.

For military satellites, proximity avoidance is fully autonomous. Therefore, you can design a satellite to chase other satellites to fuel exhaustion. I’ve been told this is an actual thing.
Nobody is claiming the central planning doesn't produce value - i think the language is ambiguous as to the meaning of "doesn't work".

Central planning fails to give the little people what they want. Walmart's central planning is to ensure the profits continue to flow up to the share holders. The workers are expendable, and get a bare minimum the profits (as wages).

Central planning in a communist regime is exactly the same - it enriches the regime, at the expense of the people.

Windows, doors, and locks are some of the most glaring differences you notice when you move back to America after living in Germany. Finding an architect who knows how to source them and build with them in the US is not easy.
Now because everything is digital they can edit it a lot, so they're sloppy with recording techniques because it's easy to, eg raise the volume of a certain part.

In the old days they had to record it correctly at the time because there was no ability to fix it later in post-processing.
Is this not a false dichotomy? Unless you are purposely using deprioritization as a substitute for blacklisting it would stand to reason that results 'moderated' to the bottom of the a priority list ended up there because they actually aren't considered useful/relevant to the query. So unless you are moderating in bad faith blacklisting is clearly different because it removes the users ability to find the content at all and it wholly ignores the intent of their search.
The lack of public awareness of gray zone warfare is truly astounding.
Japan, South Korea and Taiwan are all considered latent nuclear powers; they each operate numerous nuclear reactors and likely have the material and expertise on hand to create nuclear weapons in a matter of months (if they ever chose to.)

> I have never really understood what 'modern' means

Well, to me that means things from the 1980s, when those ideas from 1960S and 1970s got sorted out and we got systems like St-80 with a small numbers of pervasive concepts, universally applied.

Then you got the postmodern period of Perl and friends...

There was an entire promised-for-years Mac OS 8 codenamed Copland that was to, among other things, add preemptive multitasking and process memory protection to the "classic" Mac OS. That project was a disaster on the order of Apple deciding it needed to cancel it and start over working from an OS it would acquire (BeOS and NeXTstep being the big publicly known candidates with the latter being what they went with). A few things from Copland appeared to survive into what became the much less ambitious actual Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9. Namely the full-filesystem content indexing system, the platinum UI, and a kind of intermediate "nanokernel" that offered some improvements to multitasking, like not locking up the whole system when the mouse button was held down and allowing other stuff to happen while intensive disk/peripheral IO were happening. From memory I think it make have also added some basic improvements to memory protection, but by way of padding around the address spaces that applications had allocated to them rather than real memory protection. I can't quite remember anymore. I was a teenager at the time.

Two factors here: ARM isn’t a U.S. company, and neither the U.K. nor U.S. would seem to have a great deal of leverage to bring to bear on the situation, realistically.

A good question indeed! And, fortunately, one history is well-equipped to answer. You might find the history of the Statute of Anne interesting - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_Anne In short, perpetual copyright means that publishing is essentially governed by private laws rather than public ones.

Some, particularly Americans, may also find it relevant that non-expiring copyright is quite clearly forbidden by the constitutional clause that enables copyright to exist.

They do help, but you need give it early enough.

Most unvaccinated patients do not seek help until they are clearly more sick than a normal flu. They wait until they have trouble breathing. And at that time it is already very likely they are going to be hospitalized anyway. They might react better with antibody treatment but they are still going to have to be admitted.

Whereas vaccine does not need to be given at exactly right time to be effective.
Everything done in the Chinese society is virtue signaling, moralizing, and ideologization. If you don't align with the party you will be pruned or re-educated. In this respect, every single statement is designed to signal alignment with the government, advance the party's chosen morals, and advocating for the party's ideology. This is one of the few times on HN I've actually seen someone post something that is not only 100% incorrect but 100% opposite of the truth.
The US Navy could block all Chinese exports and imports by sea around the world, not only those between China and America. This is why China's "Belt and Road Initiative" (aka the 'New Silk Road') is so important to China. It's meant to decrease China's reliance on shipping for international trade, by opening up land routes across Eurasia.

GitHub downtime root cause analysis
Earlier this year Bloomberg double-downed on it's infamous 2018 "The Big Hack" story with "The Long Hack", https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2021-supermicro (Oddly it seems to have snuck under everybody's radar, including on HN.)

In The Long Hack they not only reiterate the same claim regarding SuperMicro motherboards, they reference a 2010 criminal case involving counterfeit Cisco hardware in which a witness (Marine Staff Sergeant on active duty at the time, thus speaking for the military) discussed supposedly chipped IBM-branded Lenovo-built laptops sent to the military circa 2008. (The counterfeit Cisco hardware case itself seems a less interesting example as it simply might have involved trojan'd firmware, which is sadly quite common.)
Regardless of the article, space superiority is the new air superiority in that if you don't have it, you only ever have permission from whomever does.

Over space scale distances, the only meaningful sovereignty is the cryptographic integrity of your networks, which, as it turns out, can have 20min or greater RTT latency, so you also need a high degree of autonomy. There's also the small matter of the entire substrates of those networks being produced by fabs and on equipment controlled by a rival superpower. Post quantum algorithms and key distribution are going to literally define sovereignty in less than 30 years, and we haven't landed on one for standardization yet.

I get that a lot of americans want to forfeit their governments role in the world, but I'd invite them to consider the alternatives. What bothers me is that we've seen supersonic missiles from both China and Russia in the last couple of months, and officially the multi trillion dollar US military is mystified by them, while some random guy on hackaday just built a supersonic trebuchet for two hundred dollars. Someone should call him and tell him his country needs him, because its military is too busy navel gazing to do its one job.
No worries, thanks. I have internal work to do.
Haha. Never thought of that one before. Well in this COVID induced nightmare to acquire cable or wire, anything is possible. I don't think it was factor previously. Although I'm not really sure, and would love to be informed, but I didn't think it was the actual normal reputable cable manufactures that were in on this audiophile scam. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. I don't really follow it closely. Previously, I've always been able to acquire wire and cables with the right parameters.
Isn't "understands" a little too ambitious for what it actually does?
Everything has two sides. Thanks to arms race, militarization; Human race advanced and will advance forward. Internet, computers, and so many other things we take for granted today are developed thanks to military ventures.

Also, military technology is probably one of the coolest, tech-savvy things we will ever have.
Wasn't there a situation where the Linux ecosystem decided to use an API that Nvidia officially opposed and never wanted to support? Resulting in Wayland/KDE/GNOME (or similar) not running quite a lot of features on Nvidia? Something about Nvidia only supporting EGLstream while everybody else wanted GBM?

It's very foggy in my mind, so I might be misremembering details.
I have high hopes for this, but they've been moving at snail's pace. They're going to need close to parity with CDK for it to be adopted. That's a heavy lift.

Central planning is the ultimate version of monopoly. It is what happens when a single company owns the entire country and no longer has to compete for anything. It is the only employer and the seller of goods, for every good. They banned the import of other goods, so they are all you get. Also they make the laws, so you can't even protest without having tanks moving you down.

"I really hate these corporate overlords, what can we do to fix it? I know, what about giving the corporate overlords all the power in the entire country? Yeah, that will fix it!"

Sure. He is still the executive chair of the board and the largest stakeholder. There are different type of board members in companies -- some are "independent" -- essentially free floating and attaching their vote to the "top dog." There was even a top article on hacker news describing how to keep track of your board and what the board does really.

If you read the summary above, you will note that as part of the settlement Bezos kept the voting rights of their communal stock, she got the ownership of 25% of that stock which was 4% of total. Why do that if it doesn't matter? Note there are only three insiders on the board and only Bezos has above 1%. She could have gotten a board seat if she wanted to I guess -- although things would probably be "interesting."

P.S. If one had a dirty mind, and depending how the contract was written, one could say Scott was selling the stock to remove votes from Bezos. Otherwise, the efficient way would be to borrow money against your stock, sell some later perhaps to cover the low to no interest rate you would get etc. Generally at these scales you only sell stock to diversify, income taxes(rsus/options), or cover interest (and usually not even for that). (Imagine 4% of the Amazon stock up for sale in a matter of weeks.)
