Why is it normalized that all our communications are bugged and analyzed? This is not something that people should expect if there is going to be correspondence between the physical and the virtual world.

True story: As a child of about 4, I saw my father eating yellow mustard on his burger and wanted to try some. Prior to that I had only ever had ketchup. My mother was opposed to this for reasons I can't really fathom (although now I realize she was just one of you and decades early). My father won out, if I recall, by claiming I probably wouldn't like it anyway. Well, I tried it, I loved it, and never ate ketchup again until decades later as an adult. At the height of my frenzy I used to make myself yellow mustard sandwiches. Yes, I am a monster.
> Where the operators are the censors.

In essence. Except it's by consensus, not by decree. That's my personal issue with censorship. One or a few people deciding "this is bad," which starts out with good intentions eventually gets abused and used to subjugate groups of people. In this design, it's voluntary. You can be on the network, but that doesn't mean your stuff will be propagated.
In the haste to prove your (obviously invalid) point you even forgot to read the article from which the image you have linked.

The image you linked is actually an example of incorrect mirror setup (and even has the word "incorrect" in the file name).

Here is the link to the parent article which you conveniently (or hastily) skipped: https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/road-safety/168258-eliminatin...

Here is the excerpt describing the image which you have linked:

"Anyway, people have a variety of opinions regarding how to best adjust their mirrors, and almost all of them are wrong. Why are they wrong? They’re wrong because they intentionally create blind spots for the sake of making sure drivers can see things that are entirely irrelevant. Most road users have their ORVMs adjusted like below"

I can definitely see how new use cases opens up based on a 150ms (global) invalidation. Most of my use cases relies more on local invalidation and I haven't done enough homework about on what latency I really need (read: wrong line of business). That said; in the world of Cloudflare I think durable objects/kv store probably would come to serve as the next architecture for cache itself and lead to reductions in latency. Don't quote me on that though.

The problem is the amount of crime one could do with a fake stablecoin. Maybe you re right and the central bank of Japan (that has nothing to do with the banking industry) is criminal. But it doesn't change that stablecoins must be audited.

How many places have you stored your photos? (iCloud, Google Photos etc.)
Hello! All,

I am tackling some product ideas and wondering if you can help me.

It's just a bit of my hobby to tinker around with products, those who carry too many photos in their smartphones - and then they have Google Photos, iCloud, Amazon Photos, Flickr, Facebook, Instagram OneDrive, or Dropbox. And all those services have "auto-sync" set up on your phone.

Then how do you manage those photos? Ever wish to see all your photos from everywhere onto one platform?

Help me answer those questions, and if you have any other questions that you think I should be thinking - love to get your help!

If you cannot use Bitcoin to quickly pay for your groceries at your local supermarket then it is quite useless to use isn't it?

There are other cryptocurrencies which are more suitable to these very basic use-cases hence why Bitcoin is the easiest cryptocurrency to attack for most critics.

> The assumption and social contract was the page is sent to you with ads and you take in all of it.

Nobody ever signed any social contract. You can't even navigate to the page's actual terms of service without being subjected to ads and surveillance capitalism. As if anyone even reads those terms to begin with.

Their invalid assumptions are their problem. Nobody else needs to worry about this. It's their business model, it's up to them to make it work. If they send us ads, we're gonna delete them. It's up to them to deal with that fact.

Of course. DRM is a defect and cracks literally fix products. "Pirates" have the superior version of the software. You'd think it would be the other way around. Pretty sad.

> Most of the time HNers will be against software piracy but for blocking ads.

I'm against copyright itself. "Piracy" is not a concept that should even exist. It's how things would naturally be without the illusions provided by copyright.

I don't fault Alex for shilling the same high-value ads that every other successful Youtuber does. The guy is quite dedicated to making relatively difficult or obscure techniques accessible to home cook enthusiasts, and really puts a lot of work into churning out high quality content. If continuing to have access to new content from Alex means putting up with some fake praise for a VPN service, SquareSpace, etc...so be it.
I think it does, this is all based on your target audience.

Using the term propagate is fine, because what is it to propagate anyway? and because of that, the devils' in the detail after all. Of course in technical terms the way that the records propagate is via the updating of cached records. But that is the mechanism in which DNS propagates.

You said it yourself, it's a fine to non-technical users. But of course, one single word cannot encapsulate how something actually works at a technical level.

We're being pedantic about how the word applies to how DNS records work, but it is the best option. Given that the author couldn't suggest an alternative, I feel that we're being too technical and nerdy of the use of the word.

Heck, Rackspace, Cloudflare and ICANN all use the the term propagate. ICANN even use it in their functional requirements.

There are written and unwritten rules about what powerful political entities can do and enforce in the US. In this case, if there's a public emergency the health leadership can provide orders which would be (theoretically, if not practically) enforced. There is a long history in the US around the ability of leadership to impose vaccine mandates. From George Washington to Supreme Court.

Fortunately, this disease doesn't represent a truly existential threat, or else the slow health response by the US (in terms of testing and vaccine mandates) could have been a serious problem.

On the mayo front, my 15yo has no problem with it. But he does seem to share the American cheese hatred of the new generation.

CloudFlare ran a benchmark on both services and published their results. The contention is that the benchmark did not represent fastly performance fairly, so fastly reran the benchmark in what they consider to be a fair way, on their service only. They did not retest CloudFlare in their benchmark. The results in the post compare CloudFlare's results for CloudFlare and fastly's results for fastly

This is not as big of an endorsement as you might think. I live in the Peninsula and I once ordered pizza from one of the big chains and it came at perfect room temperature after like an hour. I called the place to complain and they said they would refund me if I was willing to give the pizza back (!). Sure enough, about 45 minutes later a pizza guy came around and I tendered the pizza (minus a single bite) back to him.

Not the most sterling benchmark.
Heck, even ICANN use the term propagation in their functional requirements for DNS, so does IETF in their RFC for DNS.

People are just being too pedantic and nerdy of the use of the term. Of course one word cannot explain the technical aspect of how it actually works, that's why we use the term. It describes the general principle of how it works.
I'm confused, what's the joke here?

> So, what makes a job a "bullshit job"? Well, the defining criteria would be that they only exist to the benefit of their employer. They don't generate any value as far as the stakeholders of an employer is concerned: clients, customers, members, patrons, patients, visitors, other employees, etc.

Lets not forget the most significant stakeholder from many business's perspectives, investors.
Many of these "bullshit jobs" enable businesses to operate at the scale required for continual economic growth.
Except for very tiny businesses, execs are generally going to be too busy to answer the company phone line or greet guests.

Graeber sees these as inefficiencies, leaning on his experience as an academic lifer, but academia is a very different, if adjacent, market to the capital-driven industrial world.
He seems to miss his own point that so many of these jobs are in the service of ever-increasing economic expectations.
Bear in mind that my first experiences with MySQL are 20 years old now, so I freely admit that some of my disdain stems from holding a grudge both toward MySQL AB, the PHP dev team, and hundreds of bad tutorials leading to SQL injection attacks.

I still remember vividly when this was 100% relevant.
https://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html

Over the years, MySQL devs claimed that foreign keys were mostly superfluous, silently truncating input without warning was normal, implicit lossy data type conversions were acceptable, and quoting numeric values was fine. Don't get me started on weird default character sets or the variously confusing multibyte UTF-8 choices and interactions.

MySQL would parse CHECK constraints but not actually enforce them until very recently (version 8 point something). Let me repeat: MySQL would accept the column syntax

CHECK (foo BETWEEN 1 AND 10)

but would happily accept -306 without so much as a warning, assuming your code was even checking warnings. Most database engines consider saving/retrieving your data to be a strict contract of sorts. MySQL YOLOs it far too often for my taste.

Even now, DDL operations are not transaction safe. Got two CREATE TABLE statements, three ALTER TABLE statements, and a CREATE INDEX? Maybe you have an INSERT right after a CREATE TABLE because it's a lookup table. If any part fails due to whatever reason, you are now in an intermediate state. One table and a new column might be there, but not the rest. How do you roll back from that? You don't. You figure out where it failed and try to re-run the commands that didn't go through. Hopefully it didn't bork a running app.

But here's a laundry list of features MySQL does(n't) support. Imagine trying to learn English but the teacher uses a regional patois and limits you to a small subset of a normal conversational vocabulary. You wouldn't know any different as a learner until you met someone who spoke one of the major dialects like General American, Received Pronunciation, or Australian English. Even though the latter three vary quite a bit, it is a far cry from the dialect spoken like this:
https://youtu.be/0pBOLdZZT6s?t=120

To get a sense of what I'm talking about, compare Oracle, MS SQL, Postgres, and even SQLite to what MySQL and MariaDB have to offer.
https://www.sql-workbench.eu/dbms_comparison.html

If you've got a particular problem that MySQL happens to solve, good on you. Solving the problem at hand is the most important thing. But I wouldn't count on it as your go-to option. Unless you've got a good and specific reason to use it, I'd steer clear.

The thing I think driving Bitcoin is that all the other assets that can absorb billions of dollars in liquidity are throughly manipulated.

A trillion dollars goes into Sovereign Debt. The government can issue endless sovereign debt to dilute that.

A trillion dollars goes into the stock market. The companies on the stock market can issue tons and tons of new shares to dilute that.

A trillion dollars goes into paper gold. The commodities markets can naked short paper gold for however long they want to since there's cash settlement allowed of futures contracts.

A trillion dollars goes into bitcoin, the price just goes up and there's no dilution. This is what makes it a symbol of resistance against those assets and the way corporations, sovereigns and commodity market makers use their particular rules to extract wealth from their investors.

Also, Bitcoin is open source. So you can download the Bitcoin code and fork it and call it THE SUPER NEW IMPROVED BITCOIN, and set the "super new improved bitcoin" generation to a trillion bitcoin an hour, but the original bitcoin nodes are still around and doing their thing. However, there's nothing stopping people who want to do it your way from using your chain.

I don't understand normal peoples obsession with keeping their old SMS messages. I get that there are some cherished memories from loved ones living or passed, but, take a screenshot to be saved to the 'cloud'. And I'm even text-heavy when it comes to communication, but there are no conversations I have over SMS that are worth "re-living the moment" (in my experience). I've got Signal configured to delete any messages older than 3 months. Long-term important information isn't for SMS.

I asked my son's friends if they had each other's phone numbers in case the 'party' got split up and needed to arrange to meet at a time/landmark. They pretty much all said "we've got each others insta". Today's yoof don't SMS, so SMS integration has a decreasing lifespan.

People's lives are so busy (I know this because that's what everyone says), who's scrolling back through their SMS conversations, and why?

> For arguments sake I will point out the downsides to using crypto in this case:

Which are all reasons why someone makes you drive to the nearest bank.

As others have pointed out, these issues are highly US centric, as sending money in the UK/EU can be done almost instantaneously. And so, if they can be done almost instantaneously in other countries it means the technology is not the barrier, but the politics. Thus crypto's only advantage is not a technology one, but a political/market/bureaucratic one.

One good thing about crypto is that if it does take off and becomes a legitimate threat to wire transfers, then banks will change their tune VERY quick, and then once that system is in place then we can have all of the nice things that help protect your money in a US bank accountant (FDIC insurance, access to financing, fraud protection, etc.) with the advantages of crypto.

There is a reason the Winkelvoss twins store their crypto wallet pass-phrases in bank vaults.

For the record - I have my own thoughts about how bad the US finance system is, but I think crypto advocates love to ignore why these systems exist in the first place.

That is not what they said. It's one thing to have non-replaceable batteries, it's another to have batteries that only last two years or less - generally the size (in milliamp hours) of the battery is what determines its life, so the battery is sized to coincide with the release of new models.

> So, what makes a job a "bullshit job"? Well, the defining criteria would be that they only exist to the benefit of their employer.

That makes the definition pretty useless though.

To use an example from the comments, the charcoal maker takes wood and turns it to charcoal, and a blacksmith takes charcoal and turns it into iron.

Okay so two friends organize a charcoal making scheme both doing the same thing making charcoal. They sell to blacksmiths so they are providing them with value so their jobs are not bullshit.

One day a blacksmith asks if one of the friends would make charcoal for him, and he'll pay for what they work, and that friend agrees. The other continues on her own. So now one friend suddenly has a bullshit job despite not doing anything much different, and the other friend's job is not bullshit despite doing almost exactly the same thing as the bullshit job.

I haven't read Bullshit Jobs, but if that really is his definition then it sounds like it's just some unhinged anti-employer rant that fails to understand what value is or how organizations work.
But the question remains, why do you need to know where they are? Is it concern for their safety, is it concern that they are doing something you may not approve of?

I'm fairly old so my experience of tracking kids is limited but I am really intrigued as to why we are now so concerned about having 100% visibility of what our kids are doing.

The flip side of this questions is how often do kids who are being tracked in this way either have problems that the tracking helps resolve, or deliberately work around the tracking so that they can do something their parents may not approve of?

Exactly!

The issue is when organizations or bad POs or SMs subvert this and make it all about estimating everything exactly in story points where everybody has to be on the same page on the fact that 2 story point means 2 person days of work. And that is the only thing that estimations are used for at these places and every team has the same scale and get compared on how many points they deliver each sprint. And they press the teams for estimating ever smaller.

That is the kind of environment that most of the devs that hate Agile or Scrum are living in and it's no wonder they hate it. It's completely against the spirit of Scrum and agile so we can't blame them. Unfortunately they blame agile which was a try to make things better for them.
