This is naive. I have been in the doctors position of being assaulted by a patient. No one is going to force you to call the police and to talk to them and to tell them what happened and to press charges. In my case I declined because the person was having a crisis and losing everything and I didn’t feel like also making them the target of government intervention.

I don’t know what I would have done in their situation but if it caused them to quit their job I wouldn’t put it past them not to uphold the duties of said job.
Did I write somewhere that it couldn‘t?

That response is a little confusing: the management app is Internet only, but it doesn't drop all its routing tables or something just because the uplink is gone. Moreover, the regular DHCP and so on will operate just fine while not connected to the internet.

I don't know what happened in your case and I totally agree that it's a bad experience for troubleshooting (the thing even has some weird API on it [1], so why isn't there some basic web-based management tool), but you can absolutely unplug the uplink and packets flow locally.

I enjoyed the post about cloudflare.

Adding another perspective: the important aspects of domain registrars changes depending on what you plan to use them for.

You noted a specific kind of dns record, and also security.

For dns records, you aren’t locked to a domain registrar. DNS records are offered by which nameserver you choose. (I apologize for being pedantic, but once you realize you can register their domain one place, and then serve dns records from another place…things get much easier.)

Another thing to consider are domain disputes and privacy. You didn’t mention either, but they (can be) serious considerations.

I’ve really appreciated www.tld-list.com to help identify which registrars offer the best value- including whois privacy.

Regarding domain disputes, you might want to look into different hosts to see how they are handled. There isn’t (or does not seem to be) a specific standard regarding what is required to dispute a domain. We’ve all heard horror stories of a domain suddenly switching ownership due to a mysterious fax to the registrar.

I appreciate www.namesilo.com because they don’t fluctuate on their .com prices, have reasonable renewal fees, and offer Whois privacy for free (when possible). I have 20+ domains with them, so that should give you some perspective of how little I know. ;)

One last comment: if your current issue is a dns record, then I’d recommend changing your nameserver to cloudflare or some other dns provider. This way, you don’t have to transfer your domain to a new registrar (which can be a hassle). Instead, you just change the nameserver record in your domain’s hover.com settings.

Hope you figure it out!
I have been happy with google domains for many years, but seeing as that's a non-starter: I've been looking at domains.com. Does anyone have experience with them?
I try to see things less from a "mental health" perspective and more from an "emotional health" one. I'd be really curious to see how people who work as psychologists and psychiatrists might delineate between a mental health issue and an emotional health issue. Perhaps it's just semantics and they wouldn't see a difference, I guess I'm just looking for ways to address some emotional challenges separately from potential mental health challenges.
Jobs did not have the aggressive, highly lethal form of pancreatic cancer you often hear about in the news.

He had a much rarer form of pancreatic cancer that is treatable and has much better survival rates.
> But it is about "lying": you don't trust the quality of people's "actual work output" despite what their resume states.

No, I’m saying that resumes simply don’t convey quality of work. They convey the duration of work and who it was for.

Duration isn’t a proxy for quality. Beyond the first couple years of experience, I don’t think I’ve seen much of a reliable pattern between experience and ability.

I can’t really look at some random project at some random company on a resume and tell you whether participation in that project amounted to brilliant engineering work, or whether it was changing ‘if’ statements three times a week in a legacy system.

> how much do you distrust the labor market in your own industry that you think people can do awful work for 20 years and still remain meaningfully employed enough to have resume experience across all 20 of those years?

I’ve been on the wrong end of hiring mistakes where that was exactly the situation.

There are definitely certain types of jobs that are “known for being cushy” in this industry.

Although, that’s nothing unique to tech. People coast in tons of white-collar jobs.
you got locked up? That's not something you hear on hacker news everyday, but something I often hear when I head home to see family during the holidays.
Both. Facebook scans form fields for content that can be uploaded [0], and a developer can upload hashed data (I believe potentially from their backends[1][2]).

I'm glad they cut this short. If I had gotten one of these emails for a blog or non profit I was part of it would have stressed me out too. You gotta do research into the law, understand your exposure and possibly start reaching out to lawyer friends for help or an actual lawyer you have to pay for what amounts to a research study. I read the email they were sending. It was pretty forceful.
As someone who has lost friends and family to QAnon, I find your statement ignorant and unhelpful. Your anecdotal experience isn’t even remotely reality. I really really wish it was.

Q is fake, but there’s a whole subset of seemingly rational people who are being sucked into the void of this cult.

Those studies on adolescents is heartening though.
Rome wasn’t very old by the standards of 1 AD. Elsewhere in Greece, Egypt and Middle East, cities had been inhabited for several millennia.

But Rome’s founding just 750 years earlier was mythological because the place was too remote to even have written history until much later. Virgil had to invent a Trojan connection to elevate the national epic.
"Research shows that nothing doctors recommend has any effect on weight loss except bariatric surgery." Source 2 that you posted contradicts that statement, and notes that the average person was successful in maintaining some weight loss (about 3%, or 7lbs). That means that about 50% of people are able to maintain a weight loss of greater than 7lbs 5 years after a structured weight-loss program.

Source 1 seems to be from a conference, and they don't list specific numbers or cite sources, so I have no idea what "almost all" means.

"5) [The only thing that does seem to work in the long term is gastric surgery." That study says that gastric surgery works, it says nothing about the other methods for weight loss.
Also in Guateng, ~75% of adults are vaccinated. That's better than most parts of the US and even a lot of places in Europe. There's just more <18 year olds in SA.
We have a Linux server with Samba. Kodi connects to it beautifully. Even my kids can use it fine. Combine with VM that runs a VPN and deluge for optimal fun.

Out of a recent batch, I remember the lemon-poppyseed pound cake being amazing (as in, wouldn't have complained if I'd gotten it in a diner), a cookie that was rather good (actually moist!), and some really good cranberry mix.

Also, the First Strike apple cinnamon energy bar was just as good as top-tier civilian energy bars.

Entrees were a bit rougher.

But as my dad paraphrased re: Boy Scouts, 'Hunger is a helluva spice. Because I know none of us could cook worth a damn, but I don't remember a single bad meal.'
You're mixing energy and power.
I just wanted to reference additional news pertaining to covid in Maryland.
I was wondering that too. I did some road trips in 2020 and was surprised to run across a functioning RadioShack in Montpelier, Idaho [1] so it's not dead. There's even a Tandy Leather store in Portland [2]. According to Wikipedia, the eCommerce portal is a going concern along with 500 franchises [3] and the branding, which is now owned by Tai Lopez and Alex Mehr who are taking into crypto-currency. The Radio Shack saga continues. Probably not interesting to younger people, but I have to admire the staying power of the brand when companies come and go all the time. Especially when I consider the Fry's Electronics in Silicon Valley are all shut down or selling junk on consignment. I don't know what happened there.

I've been dreaming of a real cyberspace since VRML and 56k dialup was a thing. Here we are 30 years later and it's still not here, most likely because there's not yet a killer app / compelling use for it. If there were Oculus, Vive and Reverb or even Google's down market daydream would be in wide use. Instead they remain in the fun toy / expensive early adopter widget category for years.
More evidence that it is still premature to return to offices, if you can work remotely.
No, OnHub (and then Google WiFi) was developed by Google, not acquired.

However, the step from "can develop on its own" to "will develop on its own" is highly non-trivial.

Yeah, that's the rub. When starting from a more primordial level, the search space is widened to truly astronomical proportions. It may run for ages before you can even tell if progress is being made. I understand that this is not attractive to many researchers/investors. I've often wondered how one would go about crafting a viable fitness function and admittedly I've not come up with much.

What I meant to say is that things that seem hard in nature, might actually be a lot simpler in technology.

Fair enough. I don't believe that intelligence has to develop the way nature did it on earth. It is plausible that there is a way to short-circuit it like we did with flight. But it's not guaranteed that we're on the right track to finding it either. I would just love to see more research along those more experimental evolutionary lines.
Well, it does mess with angiotensin receptors, which are all over, controlling the blood flow pretty much everywhere. That's why there's loss of smell, "covid toes", and multiple organs affected in high viral load cases, especially those with high blood flow... Brain is one of these organs, and neurological damage has been documented.

Covid? nein, danke. Vaccines, yes, please.
My standard is my whole family gets vaccinated and I keep an eye out for when they should be getting boosters.

But I'm not forcing my standards on anyone. If this family wants a silly treatment and there isn't anything better to do, then they should get what they want if they are willing to pay.

One of the reasons this doctor got screamed at is because he took responsibility for making all the decisions and the patient died anyway. Which is good doctoring, I respect that. But if he is surprised that a family is angry that he ignored their wishes without a good reason then he is not paying attention to how the world works. He could have easily just agreed with them and kept the peace, at no undue cost to anyone.

Quite similar, but without all the invasive monitoring and telemetry. For example: you need an "account" to run plex on your local network.

I don’t see much of an issue with Disney getting paid for the new content they produce. If I want to watch the new Bad Batch episodes, I can either pay for a Disney+ subscription and increase the official view count, thereby increasing the project’s revenue and likelihood the folks working on it have their contracts renewed, or I can convince myself Disney is some evil corporation consisting of people who don’t deserve to be compensated for their efforts and pirate it. Back when I was a kid with no assets to my name piracy made some sense. However, now that I have the means to support creators, I do.
Quite an interesting review, with lots of useful learnings for practitioners (in my opinion). I also liked the use of the term "graphical literacy" in the abstract, which is something I've seen cause challenges first hand (though I never thought to use that term):

"Effectively designed data visualizations allow viewers to use their powerful visual systems to understand patterns in data across science, education, health, and public policy. But ineffectively designed visualizations can cause confusion, misunderstanding, or even distrust—especially among viewers with low graphical literacy."
Explainable AI:

Many machine-learning algorithms seem to work very well but we don't know why. If you look at a neural net trained for voice recognition, it's often very hard to understand why it makes the choices it makes. Why should we care? Here are a few of several reasons.

* Trust: How do we know that the neural net is acting correctly? Beyond checking input/output pairs we can't do any other analysis. Different applications have different levels of trust. It's okay if Netflix makes a bad movie recommendation, but less so if a self-driving car recommends a wrong turn.

* Fairness: Many examples abound in which algorithms trained on data learn the intended and unintended biases in that data (see O'Neil30). If you don't understand the program, how do you figure out the biases?

* Security: If you use machine learning to monitor security systems, you won't know what exploits still exist, especially if your adversary is being adaptive. If you can understand the code, you could spot and fix security leaks. Of course, if adversaries have the code, they might find exploits.

* Cause and effect: Right now, you can, at best, check that a machine-learning algorithm only correlates with the kind of output you desire. Understanding the code might help us understand the causality in the data, leading to better science and medicine.

After reading a little through the WebFS [1] filesystem approach that it seems to be based upon: why did you not try to stay RFC compliant with say, WebDAV [2] or similar alternatives?

From a versioning control point of view WebDAV seems to be exactly the thing that you're trying to achieve, especially in regards to Delta-V?

I might be wrong, did I miss something? I guess what I'm trying to find out is what the ultimate goals or features of the WebFS are, given that WebDAV exists and is supported by git as a remote filesystem. WebDAV seems to have a specification and lots of support by other server implementations, so I'm wondering what kind of featureset was missing in there that WebFS now includes.

The overall internal cell/branch structure of got seems to be similar to how git uses blobs and trees as a list of references to blobs.

You seem to have also built a p2p library which I found pretty neat and might also be interesting to other HN readers (go-p2p) [3] that you use now as a transport layer. What I specifically liked about it is that it's based on QUIC, so it has no troubles staying under the radar of traffic classification, while still being able to punch holes. The generic abstraction by different protocols is really nice, and similar to what I've tried to do with my p2p networks. Seeing network protocols just as a way to transport (or encapsulate) things usually makes the logic behind swarm interactions more robust.

I wonder if there could be a market for a service to link up cooperative patients and doctors who are tired of dealing with uncooperative patients, in a non-emergency setting.
Thanks for all the info!

I ended up changing both (servers and registration) over to Cloudflare. It was annoying that proxies were on by default and I had to turn them off manually, and the website is kind of fiddly to be honest (I had to input my payment info three times), but overall I trust them to have good security practices, and they have a reasonable-enough track record when it comes to disputes and business dealings. I feel like I know what I'm getting, and all I really want is for my personal site and email to do what I need and not get compromised.

Your comment makes sense only to someone who already agrees with you and is similarly informed/misinformed. It does not provide any insight to those not sharing the same knowledge as you.

Right off the bat, anyone can contest:

- "only"

- "immoral"

- "assaults"

- "ethical"

Your comment provides no context or support for any of these.
How do you define being "normal?". How do you manage the tension between your inward and outward presentations of yourself? It seems exhausting, and that's coming from someone who does that currently and idealizes some magical place when those selves merge into the same person.

That's "normal" to me, when I don't have to put masks on to fit into a preconceived notion of who society wants me to be. That's also a big part of mental health, not boxing people into mental disorder diagnoses, but helping people figure themselves out and be comfortable in their own skin.

What are your machine learning superstitions?
Most of us under 40 were still raised in cultures where our parents grew up immediately after the war. The concept of "finishing your plate, whether you were full or not" was universal - precisely because their parents remembered shortages.

They passed it on to us before there was a chance to introspect the nutritional and psychological realities of food.

My partner and I are both overweight and we are trying to do a better job with our child - giving them healthy but delicious options, while also not turning any junky food into a reward or a mystery that must be guarded or doled out in careful portions.

So far, we're okay. Not sure how this is going to last once the kid gets into school age...
You may be interested in digging into some internet cultural history. I don't pretend to know if this person is lying or not, but people making a strange hobby out of lying on the internet is nothing new. I can't imagine doing that, I'm guessing you can't either, but there's some other perspectives out there that find this appealing. I don't pretend to understand, but it's just how it is.

Some examples from the top of my head:

A woman named MsScribe spent years fabricating harassment against herself so that she could gain influence in her community and join the moderation team of a fan fiction website. She would create sock puppets to attack herself, so that the community would rally around her, over and over again.

A reddit user spent years creating "fake fake stories". They made obviously fake stories, which they put a lot of effort into, such as writing poetry and drawing comics. They would post these stories to places like r/thathappened, as if someone had genuinely tried to pass these off as real stories. Their goal seemed to be to present the communities these fictional authors belonged to as ridiculous, they were building straw men. I don't remember the name of this user, but this is presented in the video I linked in a sibling comment.

(Both of these people eventually admitted to this behavior when confronted.)
