An app, perhaps call it ParkSurfing@Home that does nothing but silently visit parked domains in the background to burn up all their ad revenue without ever clicking on any links, making them completely worthless for advertising purposes.

I'm not super familiar with bcachefs, but from what I can find it seems like it is based mostly on a standard (but I guess very well implemented) B-tree. Am I missing something?

As a Britisher, is there an ELI5 explanation on why so many Americans are opposed to the vaccination, even educated people working in healthcare? It all seems very bizarre to me...
Yep, for those of us who were around in the earlier days of the internet, .biz means low quality at best, spam, popups, and malware at worst.
This isn’t OP fault but it boggles my mind that people still use google products. How many times do companies like google and Facebook need to show that they don’t have your best interest at heart before you stop using their products? People won’t even buy genetically modified food but yet they have no problem shelling out thousands of dollars to authoritarian, surveillance centric parasites.

This will only result in more sophisticated parked domain sites. That's what happens to phone numbers - companies buy phone numbers and put whatever trash phone services they can on them just to say "see we're using it for business we've got some pre-recorded phonesex running there".
What possible good, from the point of view of the company, would come out of stating that as the actual reason to the candidate? Companies, like Stripe, are completely ghosting candidates who did long onsite interviews largely due to perceived legal risks in sharing any feedback whatsoever about the actual interview performance.
Free Family Scheduler tool for family mindfulness and togetherness
Hey everyone,

I'm a Product Designer and i’m currently working on https://www.ursor.com - a safe browser for kids aged 6+ with a couple of friends at http://www.finh.cc. We've trying to make the internet a safe space for kids to discover, learn, and play online. We want to do this whilst ensuring parents have the control and visibility they require to make the internet an extension of parenting. And of course… we’re bootstrapping it!

We are well underway building and if you guys are parents or look after younger kids, we would love your feedback!

And today we are live on Product hunt with our first product launch! We created a simple service that helps busy families prioritise 15 minutes of family mindfulness and togetherness.

A small favour… any upvotes on our product hunt would be hugely appreciated!

Sheesh. Sorry to hear this. AIDS all over again.

> Job contracts in the United States are rare

Most people don't sign a contract between employer and employee in the US? So you don't even have any kind of confidentially agreement?
Uh, wat?

Every single study done on the topic shows that natural immunity (not innate immunity) is vastly superior and more durable and more robust than vaccine immunity. Here's a study from the prestigious publication Cell: https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-37...

This is what apple asks you to do IIRC. They could have just copied that practice instead of having to learn the hard way why ಠ,_｣ಠ

> I think 2020 is more representative

The historical chart on my first link shows that 2020 is wildly nonrepresentative.

Unless you think that Trump vs. the present Democratic party is somehow a new stable political alignment.

> I'd say the Federal civil service starts at Health and Human Services and below.

It does not. Department of State and USPS are largely federal civil service, whereas Los Angeles County and the City of New York are entirely not, for instance.
Impressive. Would be more impressive if it ran on mobile browser, though.

Edit:
Scratch that it does run. I got scared away by the message about webgl builds not being supported on Mobile.
> clearly do not believe in medical science doing working in a medical capacity

Or... the people who know the most about the tradeoffs and benefits of this particular vaccine have done a cost/benefit analysis and rejected it? I'd be curious to see if they're rejecting this particular (experimental, rushed, based-on-unproven-mRNA technology) vaccine but not, say, the mumps or rubella vaccines.
On-site interviews are done by most companies. They require you to fly if you don't live in the area. This isn't a red flag for most people.
Greater good is what it makes it possible to have individual rights. Imagine if you had an absolute right to free speech. You could write or speak anything without legal recourse. Trademark law and copyright law wouldn’t work. Fraud wouldn’t be prosecutable.

Apply that to other rights like the right to bear arms. If government couldn’t set standards and people could procure any weapon, how does society function? How does air travel even exist with people owning anti aircraft missiles.

That’s why our founders made our constitution a living document with courts interpreting the constitution and balancing individual rights with our collective rights.
> We should allow people to choose what health care provider is right for them based on their constraints and not restrict options.

Disagree. If I'm footing the bill for that care (as a taxpayer) I expect to have a say in what constitutes minimum quality of care.

And allowing unvaccinated healthcare workers to treat patients is reckless, and falls well below that minimum quality bar.

(I would also accept healthcare workers with natural immunity, assuming we can establish some sort of testable minimum antibody level that confers a similar level of protection as a vaccine.)
BTW it seems:

> They had access to the Google account which is where the photos were.

like the photos were not on the device, but rather on some Google service, but the phone had remained logged in that account.

It should be possible in such cases to access the Goggle account with another device and change password (I believe, kicking out the broken phone login).
> This talk of outpricing people, people are buying domains for thousands for their pet projects, so let's remain in the world of here and now.

The world of "here and now" would be acknowledging that "thousands of dollars" outprices a significant majority of the world. Even if you take a US-centric view, that's going to outprice the majority of the population.

If you're working at McDonalds for $12/hr with a pet project on the side, a $1,000 domain would take 83 hours of work to pay for. That's two weeks and change of full-time work. You're not going to be able to pay for that while also paying rent and other bills.

Because portability, robustness or security are not concerns in server side components...?
This is why I often search solutions directly on Stack Overflow, and not via Google. Or I add "site:stackoverlow.com" to my search. Generally SO has all I ever need... I find vendor forums to be a total wasteland for help (ie. Power BI forums) so don't need them as part of Google results.

Interesting line of argument. So, if my boss says: "have sex with me or lose your job", is that freedom of choice or blackmail?

I think that's certainly true, but it doesn't account of the scores of unforced errors that our institutions and academy's are making on an almost daily basis that has eroded any credibility. Here are just a few examples...

CDC tweets that masks are 80% effective at "reducing your chance of getting COVID" - which is highly selective and word smithed information AT BEST. The real number is more like 11% and only when it's surgical. CDC fails to mention at all the cloth masks are pretty inadequate - which would be actual helpful information for people...

American Academy of Pediatrics pushes FDA to approve vaccines and decries FDA's request for 1K more subjects to add to the 1500 in the trial. Then goes on to say Delta is "very dangerous to children" even though there is still no evidence to suggest that Delta is any more dangerous for children and rate of hospitalized chidren with serious disease hasn't changed from 2 in 100,000.

Comm | engineering | NYC onsite | https://comm.app

We're a startup based in NYC working on a Web3 Discord alternative. Comm is crypto-native messaging based on federated keyservers.

Our long-term goal is to build an alternative to the centralized application server model that dominates Web2. Sophisticated apps (like Discord) need a backend, but today those backends are controlled by corporations. Our solution is to replace the cloud with a network of personal, private application servers (we call them “keyservers”).

I starting working on Comm earlier this year. I’m a programmer by trade and previously worked at FB for 5 years. We currently have 10 devs actively contributing to our codebase, including 5 here in NYC.

We raised a small pre-seed round in February from some big names and are looking to raise our seed in the next 4 months.

Job descriptions available here: https://commapp.notion.site/We-re-hiring-b0a4cef3f8b34b8c91e...

If this sounds interesting please reach out to ashoat@comm.app!
Vaccines should not be a personal freedom choice. They are a life saving invention, where did we go as a society that this is suddenly up for debate? Did people forget that we eradicated Polio, Tetanus, Hepatitis etc? Where does this sudden influx of people come from that are opposed to this absolute incredible work of science?

Creels on youtube is a good start if you're interested in that sort of thing.

Also, this will amaze you: https://github.com/komrad36/CRC

Knowing details about your system can give you 60x speedup over naive implementations. That CRC32 (Castagnoli) checksum is also 29x faster than the best you can do in WebAssembly, for example.
Never worked in the states so I'm not sure if things are different there, and I guess I'm misunderstanding something here, but are you saying that there are no contracts between most employers and employees?

There must be something that both are signing right? With pay rate, hours and benefits written down.
So you're not only suggesting monolith, but single instance? In process and non-shared queues only? No load balancing across monoliths?

So silly. "Comply with us or you lose your job" is only semantics away from "forced". Especially galling since:

a) Many frontline workers have superior natural immunity anyway.

b) We're in a pandemic and this nuclear option ensures we have fewer healthcare workers, not more ("fewer workers to make the curve more impactful!")

c) Not a year ago these were our heros and saviours, and now they're villains for failing to comply. LOL

I've seen Android now has Safe Folder with extra pin (haven't looked too deep).

Snyk | Software Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer | Full-time | London, Tel Aviv, Zurich, Remote |

My team here at Snyk is working on a static analysis engine for detecting security vulnerabilities in code. Our approach is composed of semantic analysis supporting several programming languages, logical reasoning with a Datalog solver and applied machine learning techniques. We are looking for Software Engineers [0] that have relevant experience in one of these areas, and enjoy working on large systems in an environment that prioritises collaboration. Our product is quite successful and we are growing the team significantly next year. We are also looking for Infrastructure Engineers [1] and Engineering Managers [2], that would work within the team to support that growth. We try to keep the interview process light and friendly. You can apply directly on the website below, or my email is on my profile if you have any questions I would be happy to answer (please only questions from applicants, no recruiters, include HN on title).

> I have no idea what you’re trying to say?

In this case, google can pull off something like OP says because it's dominating the market.

> Also, none of specific reasons people opposed Microsoft’s policies with IE, like it’s attempts to lock people into windows-only APIs (ActiveX etc) apply today.

Chrome implements plenty of chrome only API. They like a standard (or propose one), they implement it, use it on their projects like google doc, and let the competition deal with the mess.
And what does this revocation accomplish? The app still has your unique address. This revocation is simply "don't log me in next time." You still need to use the app to delete any data, if that's even possible (highly-dependent on the app). This is no different than going to your GitHub account (in the parent comment's example and revoking https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-accou...).

I don't disagree that having a keypair on the client for authentication is a cool idea, but it's hardly specific to "Web3" (e.g. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationserv...).
Rubber is similar to plastic in many regards. Here's how chemicals in rubber car tires find their way into water supplies and kill salmon. Lots of salmon. Most of this stuff we don't find out about for like 50 years, and usually on a fluke discovery. We trusted the science at the time.

we still have a lot of cleanup before I'd use this as a model, but the rough strategy we employed is:

1. Hide sensitive code behind an API
2. Open source everything else (regardless of Platform/Self-Hosted
3. Use env vars and feature flags to determine what is visually displayed

The docker-compose for self-hosted is the same stack as every project on the Platform which helps.

We need to educate people on how to secure the data on their phones so that even the manufacturer cannot reach it. And if that is not possible for a particular device, that should be clearly understood so people can make an informed choice about what smartphone they use.

Can't just tell people 'do not put nudes on your phone' because while it's good advice, it misses the point.

And, of course, whoever does something like this should be strung up by their toenails in the public square.

Here are a few options:

- keep it but mind the battery as it can expand over time

- fix it to the point where you can access then properly wipe the storage with given options on the OS

- if you're ultra paranoid, find software that'll write over the storage, like Dban (i don't have any in mind right now) but if you're already here you might as well destroy the storage physically (see below)

- look into tear down instructions and find where the storage is. Remove and destroy the storage.
People dying from the virus is useful to an opposition party when they want to argue that the ruling party is doing a bad job and should be replaced.
