Ask HN: I emailed a Japanese company and now I receive daily SPAM from Japan
I emailed a company from Japan (their info@site.com) and it resulted in a flood of daily SPAM in Japanese, often from different .jp websites and return paths. I somteimes receive multiple emails a few seconds apart.

Is this a coincidence and everyone is receiving these (unlikely), or is this going to continue? Any advice?
How do I discover the IP address of an Ethereum node to which I can submit ENS queries without a centralized service?
Or just keep it on in a background tab with headphones on? I've always got some kind of podcast running or twitch if I'm not doing deep work (I do frontend, so I'll listen to stuff when writing boilerplate vs problem solving).
That's an interesting scene, but it's not a passive viewing scenario. I do agree that passively turning on the TV just to see what's on is virtually extinct.

As a side note, it seems very unlikely that a baseball team named the "Braves" will exist in the far future, even if baseball itself is still played in some form.
> Stanford changed their mind about Chowning and hired him back

Somehow I feel that if this happened today, no company or university would have the spine to do this, and it would rather turn out as an expensive legal battle if he insisted on getting his part of the patent pake.
The executive summary is worth the 1-minute read.

Interesting that all the malicious frameworks known (by ESET) that target air-gapped networks were for some form of espionage.
Snooze. What is charged in healthcare is a distraction.

This is likely a supply that would be used in an inpatient setting and will be completely written off as a "contractual discount and allowance" after the insurer pays the negotiated rate, which is based on the overall case and it's severity, not what supplies are used.

This is lazy journalism meant to generate outrage without discussing the substance of the problem.

Relax medical licensure requirements. Cap medical malpractice damages and chase the doctors' licenses instead of their pocketbooks. Allow nurse practitioners to provide higher level care. Allow telehealth and reciprocity for out-of-state licensure. Publicly fund more medical schools and residencies. Reduce burdensome documentation requirements and Medicare billing audit penalties.

Just a few ideas that I think are more meaningful options for addressing healthcare costs.
Yes. They’ve conflated the idea of the tax basis on transfer with the tax losses due to remediation. They’ve also mixed in remediation costs vs penalties. We also lack meaning attached to the word “income” used right up front. If it’s not taxable income, it’s not taxable income. Many of these concepts are not only entirely economically distinct, but also potentially functionally causal. For example, depending on when the environmental liability was introduced and to what responsible party, the woman may well have had an asset worth more than 1.2B, then has to sell it for less because of the very liability they decry. Is this an article about the tax consequences of direct environmental remediation? About the tax basis of inheritance? Of the environmental remediation reserves? Of the tax codes relationship to the continuation of the leak? Since they enlisted an expert tax consult, why didn’t the author let him explain what this article is supposed to be about, instead of writing about wall paper and Horatio Nelson. Perhaps only an excellent example of the Talebian perspective that one should not read journalism; when conveyed through the minds of non-experts, it often produces a sense of knowledge while failing to deliver understanding.
Yeah, the science is not quite as mature yet. Some trial-and-error involved.
Totally agree with you! Sounds like the found a smart way to reduce their defense budgets, no??

Do you want the same music everywhere, or do you want each person to be able to play their own music where they are?

Almost all the installable-box systems assume the first: you want the same music in your office, the living room, your bedroom simultaneously, and if your husband picks up a controller and changes it to what he likes, that's what everybody gets.

If you want the second, you need a music server that makes a filesystem full of FLAC and MP3 available via NFS or CIFS or DLNA, and a bunch of clients with speakers around that house that can be used to select music and play it. Those clients can be Raspberry Pi based units that look as good as you're willing to pay for, and the whole thing will take you one afternoon.
"Today I own one drill press as a capital for my manufacturing business. Tomorrow the .gov prints 1 quadrillion dollars. Tomorrow drill presses aren't any harder to come by nor harder to make nor any more or less useful for industry or for me or anyone else. The price inflation still rises."

Future tense is compatible with a correct model, but present tense would be incorrect. No inflation has occurred even if the price goes from $100 to $100,000 for the exact same item. Again, as I've said several times elsewhere in this thread, when we are speaking jokingly or informally it is perfectly okay to say "asset price inflation" and everyone will informally understand what you mean. But I've been trying to explain how the government calculates inflation.

If the price goes from $100 to $100,000 for the exact same capital good that you own, you've become wealthier in nominal terms. However, you will need to pass along this price increase to those further down the line, either another company or a final consumer of some product of which your product might be a part. Once the final consumer sees the price increase, then the government will declare it to be inflation. But the government does not regard it as inflation in the CPI till it reaches the final consumer.

It might be a technical point, but it is worth keeping in mind: even those events that guarantee consumer inflation are not consumer inflation until they reach the final consumer. The distance in time might be weeks or years. Sometimes an event occurs and consumers feel the effect within a day -- gasoline prices are often like this, a terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia can see an uptick in prices within a day or two. Other times some event occurs and it takes years before consumers see the increase in prices; over fishing of the oceans is an event that almost guarantees consumer inflation, but typically takes several years to settle in, as the effect among the fish is multi-generational.

The same career path as a professional athlete. Some go into commentating, some go into sports management, and most retire broke and have to pick up a whole new career in their late 20s/early 30s.
It was. You don't understand what you have linked me.

Trump's tax cut - 12% of GDP
CARES - 12% of GDP
Further stimmy (iirc, this was a bill passed in December after the election) - 5% of GDP
Biden Stimmy - 10% of GDP
Infrastructure Bill - 15% of GDP

This is why the CBO's projections have suddenly become very controversial. As I made clear, this is not all current spending. It is difficult to talk concisely about all the packages above because the cadence is totally different but the quantum of the effect in the medium-term is 40-50% of GDP (it is probably a bit higher tbh). This only becomes apparent over the medium-term and future % of GDP, obviously, depends quite heavily on GDP growth elsewhere in the economy. The size of the fiscal stimulus being applied however is massive (the chart you linked me shows 10ppts of growth...you realise this supports my argument? 25% growth is a lot in one year...it hasn't happened outside of wartime afaik).
It's situations like this that make services like Cloudflare vital.
That's like saying homes don't provide shelter, construction companies do. Either way, you've run yourself into a contradiction here.
Yes, and in addition to that, the regimen of shots and boosters becomes too much for unvaccinated to contemplate. They are more being asked to enter into a new lifestyle, now, contrasted with the request a year ago to take one simple protective action.

In the US, I would like to see the recommendation change to a single Pfizer shot with second shot and booster language changed to that of optimization, rather than necessity. The single shot, even after several months, is still very effective against severe cases. I believe the vaccination rate would increase and that pressing to get our 1+ shot rate above 90% could be a genuine bipartisan rally.

I bought a place with Better.com last year. While really cheap, I don't think I would use them again.

It seems like the model is to have a slick UI and hire contractors from India with second rate English skills handle the grunt work. There were multiple instances where there was miscommunication, no reply, or we couldn't get ahold of someone to get the current status. Overall it was really frustrating.

> Various “joke markers” were suggested, and in the midst of that discussion it occurred to me that the character sequence :-) would be an elegant solution – one that could be handled by the ASCII-based computer terminals of the day. So I suggested that. In the same post, I also suggested the use of :-( to indicate that a message was meant to be taken seriously, though that symbol quickly evolved into a marker for displeasure, frustration, or anger.

i've done this and do this, with mixed results, and will continue to do it.

one spectacular-for-me failure.

one small win.

several not-great and never-got-to-production projects.

my last time i specifically took a new tack -- farmed out the same test project to 3 diff people - or tried - only ended up with two diff teams - chose one.

both were good-ish, but one guy was too-inexpensive (guy i chose), and the other guy was trying to overengineer, etc.

i'd def recommend my current guy, tho i don't have work with him right now, and i'd prob recommend the other guy, too. both upwork.

ping me if you want a name. this was a real simple php/laravel/postgres/bootstrap project.

and i've been hacking on it a bit since, which is somewhat typical. my guess is i'll try to add a bunch of new functionality, at which point i'll send it back to my dev.

i typically provide at least a Balsamiq, then a few must haves and/or must not haves, then hope for the best. i prefer to not be involved until something is just done, and have set up 'milestones', which you can do in upwork, and that can work, but it's all kind of a shit business, imo -- there def needs to be a better way.
The amount of comments comparing POV-Ray to Blender is really puzzling to me. The comparison is apples to oranges.

In fact you could (and probably still can) use POV-Ray to render your Blender scene. Blender is not a renderer - it just ships with some integrated ones and integrations for various external ones.
Yeah exactly. Now that I work in open space I realize that a cubicle is actually not bad.
So you are saying that they attempted to write off taxes and also attempted to minimise the estimate...you should not go into finance my friend.

And yes, your response is the kind of misconception that I think the journalists banked on.
It's new, so I don't think there are many out there yet. I do hope that this changes the landscape of the ecosystem for 'decentralization.' It's not supposed to be about tokens or organizational marketing hype. First, it's about free speech and freedom of information. "De-platforming" is now extinct. Only then, can you even begin to discuss anything else.

I'm very thankful to WebTorrent, DMT, Handshake and Electron for making things possible.
It is expensive, but they are extremely well compensated. Don’t let them BS you. It doesn’t take that long to pay back a million dollars of med school debt at a salary of 400k per year.

Bigger issue is low supply: too few medical schools admitting too few students keeps supply Low and prices high. Current doctors love it. (That’s the same reason non-US-trained doctors can’t come to practice here. You can bet that they’d love to at our salaries!)

Probably the training process is dysfunctional and needlessly brutal. But that doesn’t make prices high on its own.

Just open more med schools, add residency slots, and make it easier for doctors from other places to come here and practice.
the AD industry. it would destroy the AD industry.

they've been so successful in their advertising they've just managed to get people to call them "tech".

tech would probably be untouched, and who knows, might even flourish a bit once people stop wasting their time and paycheques to make the world a worse place.
The problem in the US is the individuals don’t pay for regular medical care - your insurance does. And that insurance is usually funded by employers. So doctors and hospitals have every incentive to squeeze the insurance companies as much as possible (which pass on those costs to employers).

We’d be in a completely different situation if people paid for regular medical care out of pocket and paid for their catastrophic insurance by themselves. There’d be competition between health care providers to offer affordable care directly to individuals, just like other normal markets.
We are in a silver age of TV right now.

The golden age was caused by cable networks venturing hard into original programing and it started right around the Sopranos. But the golden age ended 5-7 years ago as talent got spread too thin, the number of shows exploded, and the streaming services started pivoting to mass entertainment rather than critical acclaim.

But prior to the golden age, TV was very lowest common denominator. Almost everything aimed for the middle. Of course, there were great shows in all eras, but TV is much best post-2000 than pre-2000.

A lot of paradigms in Visual Studio owe their heritage to Delphi because of Anders.

If Delphi was open sourced, or heck — if it had a free license for personal use, I would bet it would still be the dominant IDE.
Forgive me if I have this all wrong, but in summary it seems to be that they have created a faster algorithm for creating a 3D (built of voxels, not polygons) from a set of 2D photos of that scene.

Am I right?
But wouldn't you first look up that developers prior work history on the blockchain? I'd just ask what they've deployed in the past and could then easily verify if they are skilled or a bad actor. As for the funds being stolen I think we're just at the beginning of crypto custody services. It's like in the eighteen hundreds saying banks are a bad idea because they get robbed all the time.
that's when things really start heating up between my nemesis and my other nemesis (and people talk about the equifax leak like it's a bad thing!)

Same thing people in sports do:

- Continue

- Retire

- Start coaching

- Start casting

- Management (Organizing/growing content creators/groups)

- Switch careers entirely

Any of the giants should hopefully have been saving there money and have quite a bunch tucked away. Any of the smaller ones should have been doing something on the side, or at least have a plan B ready.

Also, not sure why we're assuming no college degree here.
Because it's a technically impressive "dragons lair". Ultimately, the game is selecting which circle you're shooting at and pressing the button. I'm not saying that this is the only game you can write with this engine, but as art costs go up, so the experience necessarily becomes more prescribed.
>> why do you think, as a whole, things are improving

I was born in 1970. I know how I grew up. I know what my parents living standard was and I know what my grandparents living standard was. I have my admittedly failing memory, but I still remember.

If you want to believe things aren't improving, I'm not going to stand in your way. It's your world now. You own it. But god damn, there are reasons I would go back and live in 1976 again, but living standard isn't one of them.
No. There was no transpiling to SQL. This was several years ago, before Spark SQL.

The SQL was HiveQL. Spark didn't really support SQL at the time and was native JVM Scala RDDs.

HiveQL with UDFs compiled to JVM bytecode typically ended up performing worse than scalding that corresponds to straight raw jvm map reduce jobs that are the real native interface of Hadoop.

The real performance drag from HQL came from developers writing inefficient map reduce jobs with extra joins to avoid writing Java UDFs because they were a huge PITA.

In scalding, developers wrote map reduce jobs with as few group bys as possible. Our hadoop infra team actually complimented us on how great the execution profile of our teams jobs were.
> Making your monthly mortgage payment isn't the same thing as buying a new house, so the fact that the payment might stay the same over the life of the mortgage contract doesn't seem particularly relevant.

In a thread about inflation, it's highly relevant. One of the biggest benefits to a mortgage is that you lock yourself into an inflation-resistant housing cost.
> Finding random phenomena in nature that can be transformed into computer bits is not easy...Otherwise, specialist, expensive hardware needs to be used to do things such as measuring heat flux through a silicon chip.

I don't think "nag" is the right term. It's more of the idea that training people in the effective use of their collaboration tools is an ongoing process.

The tools aren't static, so neither should the staff's use of them be.
I find it hard to sympathize for the poor plight of the $200,000/month healthcare-less twitch streamer working 2 more hours a day than the average person. Was this article written entirely to provoke outrage or is there some oppression I’m missing?
Both of these are the opposite of my experience with them. You could fiddle with down payment, price, and points to your heart's content and it'd spit out a quote for you. Also a few thousand cheaper than other places.
I've been there once with my son for 4 days, had only 2 hours of sleep a day, no coffee, and didn't feel tired at all. You really feel you're on a different planet there!
They’re definitely not doing well in the “casual cloud user” space, which hurts them because nobody is familiar with their console and APIs. Everyone knows how to do stuff on AWS because we’ve all done personal throwaway projects there. Somewhere else in this thread someone posted their notes on the confusing console, and reading through it, it doesn’t look any more complicated than AWS to me, but familiarity is valuable. Maybe this is a play for that type of usage.

This doesn't really make sense. Athletes in many sports are playing way past their 'prime' these days and they are wearing out much more than just their hands. Consistently good reaction times are a result of consistent training. Plenty of older baseball/tennis players have superhuman reaction times. I would see mental fatigue and boredom as being the major hurdle to playing esports on a professional level at an older age. No matter how fun it started as, 10+ years of looking at the same thing over and over has got to be soul sucking.
Some of the best software developers I've seen are mediocre programmers :)
What I've got:

The media server is a Debian x86 box with a big RAID on it. It has MP3 and FLAC rips of all the discs. That filesystem can be accessed via read-only NFS or CIFS or AFP. It is running:

Owntone - MPD compatible, web interface, can stream to any client that can handle ChromeCast or AirPlay, including machines running shairport-sync. That's how you get multiroom party audio.

minidlna - DLNA server, no interface, makes the library available to clients that only speak DLNA. That's a way of getting local play.

Various devices around the house speak DLNA or mount the filesystem and present a local player.
The points you make are orthogonal to the fact that there is no way that Assange will receive a fair trial in the USA.
We have decades of examples of how this works out for pro athletes. The answer is that there's a range of outcomes: some have to find new careers after their playing days are over; others find ancillary work (coaching, scouting) in the sports industry; the very best make enough money that they don't need to work anymore. In many cases, the athletes have a college degree of at least some value.

Professional video game streaming is relatively new. It's a valid question.
It's probably more stressful having a camera on you for with thousands of fans offering critical feedback every second.

Maybe something like an engineering management role where all you do is share performance reviews?
If you're one of the top streamers, with decent financial literacy, you will easily make enough to retire by 30 if you started streaming at say 20.
Imagine a parent that physically abuses their young child way less than all of the other parents on their block.

It's not really a defense. The USA, and in particular the parts of the USA that have the most power, do not really care at all about human rights, and are not held accountable for not caring about human rights.
Increasing the disparity between countries reinforces the argument "conditions in your country are so great, stop talking about your internal income inequality" which is, I think, what the original comment was implying to be the point here.

Looking at the article, it uses the term "international dollars" instead of "PPP adjusted dollars," so I think the original comment just missed that the dollars are actually adjusted.

It makes sense if you read the original comment as a criticism of the article ("whitewash the staggering amount of wealth and power is held by American oligarchs" is, I think, pretty clearly a bad thing to do) which just missed that the dollars in the article were adjusted.
Or that running a successful business for a decade doesn't count as experience that most businesses would be happy to hire on. Being a successful twitch streamer involves extremely good time management and a lot of hands on advertising. They've got a lot more proof of successful marketing than most PR folks you might look at hiring.
