My job (although 50% of time) at Azure is unit testing/monitoring services under different scenarios and flows to detect small failures that will be overlooked in public status page. Our tests run multiple times daily and we have people constantly monitoring logs. It concerns me when I see all AWS services are 100% green when I know there is an outage.
PostHog: https://github.com/PostHog/posthog if you want to deploy it yourself and https://posthog.com if you want the SaaS.

I was using Avodocs (https://www.avodocs.com) to produce a privacy policy for our MLOps platform, https://iko.ai, but they didn't have PostHog in the list for the "Analytics" section, and they assumed that doing analytics implied sending user data to a third party site or something.

I tweeted at them and they were lightning fast in reaching out and adding PostHog to the options of the the privacy policy template. It's really cool: https://twitter.com/jugurthahadjar/status/144733750656389120...
I so wish this to be true! But it is not always the case. You as a candidate can power through the interviews(scheduling), get ahead of the line, and indeed influence decision making.
Fewer than 50% of Google searches result in a click these days. Largely thanks to the helpful (to the user) excerpts they provide ... and (I think) the trashy SEO-focused barely readable writing that you often find upon clicking through.

That is all fine and dandy, but if Google and FB decide to drop them all-together, and offer you news that isn't "protected", then they are screwed even more then today. It is dying industry, well, the model is dying, not the need for news.
I'm not sure I would call Ubiquiti "impressive" after their recent bout of security breaches: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/03/whistleblower-ubiquiti-b...

Not exactly what I want to see in the device that can literally compromise all of my other devices. Am I missing something -- did this turn out to be nothing, or did folks decide that Ubiquiti has bounced back? This seemed really really serious at the time and turned me completely off from ever purchasing one of their products.
To be clear -- my comment is more about finding likeminded people who you can depend on if shit actually hits the fan. People who "react violently to your attempt to connect with them" are not great candidates for shit-hit-the-fan buddies.

So there may not be a clear cause-effect relationship here. For example, perhaps 'morning people' are different in some way, and it's those people who jump on the 8am slots...
Which was in turn responding to a comment saying that music is a sideshow to selling pieces of plastic. Yes, not literally every single one of the 8 billion people on this planet will die should they go an extended period of time without music, but that's clearly not what the comment you were replying to meant. To claim the two statements are equally hyperbolic is absurd. You brought up asexuals as an example of how if you're sufficiently pedantic the need for sex is not really universal, and I was reaffirming that the comparison was apt.
Important disagreement, thank you.

I make music. What we do isn't a commodity business, it's an art we practice and explore, like math. Products are totally different. Extending your simile of music being as essential as sex, the way people make that a business is with porn and services. Music may be the porn and services of what are essentially math noises instead of sex.

I had also looked at white lablling some, er, intimate products to go with albums but was too bourgeois to pursue it. Basic idea was a crossover between music and firmware for the, um, device. Immersive experience. There is a future in which a Trent Reznor of vibrators will emerge. We will look back and laugh that people just used to put things in their ears. Insane, but this is the kind of thinking it's going to take to make music a viable living.
Same for most things. Guy grow potatoes sells some and uses the money to buy stuff. For every dollar he takes out of his potato ecosystem someone has to put one in. Just how these things are.

Some of dOrg's projects are good examples (They're a BBLLC who consult and develop other DAO projects): https://www.dorg.tech

I think, maybe obviously, that more distributed organizations stand to benefit more immediately from being a DAO than more centralized traditional corporations do. For example if a bunch of cabbies want to run their own homebrewed clone of Uber / Lyft (As cabbies in some cities actually do), a well-programmed DAO could save the group hundreds of thousands of dollars that would normally be spend on servers and staff to maintain them. Essentially, smaller distributed organizations can be freed of the need for centralized touch points and thus the costs associated.
I cannot share that experience with the hetzner support. We currently do have some weird problems with an hcloud-dedicated joined vlan and the network topology and support is a bit weird there. I'm hoping that'll improve, because then hetzner might become a prod leg for us.

But besides that, both the cloud and dedicated support are very good. Last 10 - 20 HDDs we needed swapped were swapped in under 30 minutes each, and in some of the more complex issues, they were able to guide our engineer wherever they needed to be quickly. I've dealt with much, much worse hosters at multiples of that price.
> you absolutely can increase the "number of BTC stored in customer FOO's account" entry in your database.

I hope you realize you're not bringing a new argument to the table. This is exactly what exchanges already do, which is why there's a saying: If you dont hold the private keys you don't own the coin.

Engineers will eventually build a system that obsoletes the need for someone else to hold custody of your money, its the entire DeFi space that's under development right now. At that point there's very little a fractional reserve system can offer. Who's going to want to trade with you when the currency you got when you took out a loan isn't a bitcoin but "a bitcoin guaranteed by bank of america". There is an obvious difference because users cannot pull out the sum and hold the private keys to it. And if the bank does lend you real bitcoins to which you can own the private keys to. Simply put, that cannot be by definition fractionally reserved, because its the real deal.

Not even going to respond to this one. I'll let you guess the basic fallacy you're breaking here.
Sorry to hear. If multi-cloud is the answer, I wouldn't be surprised to see folks go back to owning and operating their own gear.
Weird that that got cut off. I think I intended to say "a cleaner, simpler, more efficient set of tools for working with the type of data I had". And of course, right tool for the right job and all, perhaps there are plenty of cases where MySQL is better. I just haven't found them yet, and probably won't any time soon.

That's a tight time frame a long way off. How'd you arrive at 17-18?
Almost no 4k monitors would be considered high dpi. To achieve 220dpi you need a 4k monitor to be 20 inches. 27 inch 4k monitor 4:1 pixel mapping makes it appear to be 1080p, which many people would not consider to be appropriate for that size monitor. You can use fractional scaling but that comes with its own sets of issues because the pixels don't map correctly.

27 inch 1440p at 100% scaling in Windows or MacOS is what most would be consider appropriate sizing for UI elements and text by default, so in order to achieve high dpi you need a 5k monitor, like the LG UltraFine or the 27 inch iMac.
I think your view on music is shockingly nihilistic. Thank you for letting me see this perspective (music’s “gritty” backstory).
Why wouldn't you oppose density? The issue is a prisoner's dilemma. Only a top-down heavy handed resolution can actually, well, resolve this problem.

More housing should certainly be built, but the YIMBY crowd ignores the inherent dis-incentives that one has towards more housing near them. People bring in the morality of more/cheap housing, which is fair enough, but isn't sufficient to get people to change their behavior.

How to Identify Fraudulent Text Message
The logic of business would imply that a vendor of exploit code is going to make significantly more money reselling the exploit than the author of the exploit code. 100k for an exploit to the author? The exploit vendor will sell it for millions. Who has deep pockets enough that they are willing to buy exploit code for millions? A software vendor can engineers for many years for this cost.

Yeah, I don't like windows either, but its not the point. Billions rely on the security of Windows today, our entire global economy is dependent on reliability of our information systems.

One either helps maintain the security of our systems globally, or they seek to disrupt it for a pay day. I get quite upset when people enter with the mindset of 'the actual vendor wont pay me enough, ill sell it to shady exploit market'. It is not a simple pay day.

And to come full circle back to the original topic: that capitalism itself can enhance discovery. I was introduced to Etta James's music through a Jaguar commercial. In fact, there are quite a few artists I'd never heard of before their music was featured in a commercial, or a TV show or movie.
It's far worse than that... because the journalism falls down well before it gets into the hightech stuff.

This case wasn't even over Wright being Satoshi or anything like that. And the outcome of the case was that the jury apparently didn't believe wright's claims of creating or mining bitcoin.

They found Wright civilly liable for $100 million in damages for raiding his dead friends business by impersonating it in AU court, which he essentially admitted to in court (though obfuscated by claiming it was normal business practices to engage in sham lawsuits against yourself).

So all this stuff about Satoshi this and that are pretty much entirely incidental to the court, and to the extent it came up at all the jury didn't fall for it. This is entirely the opposite view you'd get from the mass media articles because they're all parroting lightly "balanced" press releases from Wright.
If Bitcoin SV is the real bitcoin, why is he so interested in suing people for access to "fake" bitcoin core? /s

>Ultimately they'll likely have to deanonymize to prevent Wright from seizing Bitcoin.org.

I didn't know this was a risk. It would actually be a mild disaster if bitcoin.org was compromised. If Cøbra wants to remain anonymous, one idea is to transfer the domain to one of the current bitcoin devs whose identity is public (and maybe transfer it back once this blows over?) I don't know if it's too late for that, given the domain is already the subject of a lawsuit. The whole situation sounds like a mess. I'm sorry you got wrapped up in it.
I mean, most people are okay with dogs and Seattle.
Thank you for sharing. I had no idea that the introduction of masks has also had the side effect of making deaf people blind in this aspect. Yikes.
I think I understand it fine. The comment said this:

> The business of music essentially started as a way to sell preaching and alcohol

That's nonsensical. The business of music essentially started as a way to sell music. Music is staggeringly popular and people have shown a willingness to pay vast sums for it. It's a core human need.

It's like saying "the food business essentially started as a way to sell airline tickets" or something, it's just word salad.
> I use a conjoint survey experiment to provide evidence that preferences for single-family development are ubiquitous. Across every demographic subgroup analyzed, respondents preferred single-family home developments by a wide margin.

One thing is verbal preference in questionnaire, a different thing is revealed preference in the market, where realistic economic constraints are applied (equi-affordable high density apartments would be in much more desirable locations than single-family homes, in the same location high-density apartments would be much cheaper).
When I worked there it required the signoff of both your VP-level executive and the comms team to update the status page. I do not believe I ever received said signoff before the issues were resolved.

Many B2B-type applications have a lot of usage during the workday and minimal usage outside of it. No reason to keep all that capacity running 24/7 when you only need most of it for ~8 hours per weekday. The cloud is perfect for that use case.
As has been pointed out already, some people don't feel the need for sex or love. Also some people don't care much about music. I'm one of those people. Music doesn't generally do much of anything for me. It always feels really weird when I see people declare such strong feelings about music. I commented [1] about this a while back after someone (the person I'm replying to) pointed out that musical anhedonia is a thing.

I don't think either side of the argument is necessarily wrong. Both high and low density housing bring different pros and cons as well as different elements that the residents of either one may not appreciate of the other.

The question of whether one form of housing development is better than the other is a red herring.

What we must ask is why we've organized cities the way we have, whether we can change how they are organized, and if we even should. That's because, let's face it, there's a form of NIMBY for both. Create more high density housing and the people with McMansions complain. Build some McMansions and the high density people cry "gentrification!" None of these people are going away, and neither one necessarily needs to lose their way of life.

The way I see it, there's too much a dichotomy between the city-life and the suburban or rural life. We might find ways to for them to better work together

For instance, although high density housing can be a good thing for many, from a structural standpoint they mostly make sense in dense urban cities and the outskirts of said cities. But why have dense urban cities in the 2020's? Why can't suburbs actually live up to the urb part?

Maybe we can actually use a lot of the vacant land we still have in America to create systems of small cities that can satisfy the needs of the many as well as the few? I don't think that there would be as much an opposition to high density development if it could be planned in such a way not to step on the toes of those who don't want to be around high density housing while still having a place for it. It would be better for policing and a sense of community.

Better yet, create networks of paths for bikes and tiny vehicles between said small cities. I mean actual bike paths, not the fake ones we paint on existing roads designed for cars. Economic opportunities could be created along those paths and make it simpler for towns to have their own cultures yet be involved with each other and easy to travel between without the hell of vehicle traffic.

I guess my thought is rather vague, but I still feel that we always end up asking the wrong questions.
Not just the idea/ propaganda, but the govt mandate that methanol be added to ethanol to make denatured spirits, aka the "poison alcohol".

It was literally a government created problem, with the same government claiming to be the only layer of security protecting John Q Public from this super dangerous product.

Prohibition is a case study in so many different ways of how to badly govern with the best intentions.
On Linux at least, the relevant API for reading this sort of data is... open up specific files in /proc and parse the often poorly-documented textual output to get the information you need. Which happens to be the kind of thing that C/C++ don't do very well at all, at least in comparison to languages like Python. Although I think Linux is the outlier in this regard.
>nvidia would either need to invest into an effort to replace llvm

No they would buy a license for one of the hundreds proprietary compilers, and you will eat their dogfood like you do today with cuda itself.

>or have cuda released under a free license.

Dreamer...it's nvidia....you know the ones with the "driver" that runs with the GPLv2 kernel.
I think I should make this more clear! It serves both functions.
Like the schizophrenic, creative and artistic individuals deny both physical reality and culturally-endorsed immortality projects, expressing a need to create their own reality. The primary difference is that creative individuals have talents that allow them to create and express a reality that others may appreciate, rather than simply constructing an internal, mental reality.

I have in the past directed users here on HN who were complaining about https://status.aws.amazon.com to the Personal Health Dashboard at https://phd.aws.amazon.com/ as well. Unfortunately even though the account I was logged into this time only has a single S3 bucket in the EU, billed through the EU and with zero direct dependancies on the US the personal health dashboard was ALSO throwing "The request processing has failed because of an unknown error" messages. Whatever the problem was this time it had global effects for the majority of users of the Console, the internet noticed for over 30 minutes before either the status page or the PHD were able to report it. There will be no explanation and the official status page logs will say there was "increased API failure rates" for an hour.

Now i guess its possible that the 1000s and 1000s of us who noticed and commented are some tiny fraction of the user base but if thats so you could at least publish a follow up like other vendors do that says something like 0.00001% of API requests failed effecting an estimated 0.001% of our users at the time.
Note that I didn't say "if it's not showing up on Google [...]", but "if it's not trying to show up on Google [...]". It's not that it's not popular, it doesn't care about popularity or want to be popular, for one reason or another.

This may seem strange if you come from the commercial web, but on independent web, it's a pretty common sentiment. There is very little benefit to actually getting visitors from the outside if you have no interactivity and no ads. It's not that they attempt to keep visitors away, they just don't do much to bring them in. Blocking commercial web crawlers isn't particularly rare, for example. Some don't support HTTPS, which means you won't get listed on Google.

Good point. However, I've had more than a couple of jobs at which those extra hours became the expectation, not just when necessary.

Such loaded language! "mythology in America", "people's preference for the thing they know", "really difficult to soften this kind of opposition"

It's even harder than building an all-new rocket.

I would point to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_X-33

as what not to do. Rather than doing the minimum possible to create a reusable rocket, they introduced numerous immature technologies to the point where "success is not an option."

The space shuttle had many problems, one of which was trying to squeeze out the highest level of performance in the engines. The SSME got a specific impulse higher than anyone thought possible for a chemical rocket with reasonable propellants, but it was at tremendous expense. Had they gave up on the last 10% of performance they would have gotten a large margin to work with.
