Dude, sometime around 2010-2014, FB was asking users for the email accounts of their friends 'to contact them on their behalf'. I may have the dates wrong, but I remember being pretty pissed at the time, as my so-called 'friends' were feeding them not only my email but other info as well through polls and stuff.
.
I never used FB at all - yet I was getting emails as described by author, but years ago when they pulled that BS. I'm on Facebook and linked to it without ever opting in, because of what my own friends/family/coworkers give them.

But would it be enough to make airlines relinquish lucrative slots?

I personally feel the problem is more related to a bogus slot allocation/deallocation policy that forces an airline to fly an empty plane around to hold a slot. Could they not just remove that rather pointless requirement, and have some sort of market based approach to auction slots for a set period (say 1 year at a time)?!

Every Android phone that I've owned (about 7-8 of them?) died with hardware problems within 2-3 years. Except for my current one.

It's a 5 year-old Moto G5 Plus that I bought for ~$200. It got one OS upgrade to Android 8.1.0. I run Firefox, Signal, Google Authenticator, and the usual set of Google apps (GMail, Maps, Keep, Drive, Contacts, Calendar). It's a great phone. The only problem is that it stopped receiving security updates 3 freaking years ago. But I'm not going to throw away a perfectly usable phone.

Leftist infighting is a legendary meme, that is true.

I’m more considering ‘the left’ as the bulk of the left: anything between neoliberal and social Democrat.

Similarly, when I say the right I mean anything between neoliberal and national conservative.

Though I’d consider national conservatives to be too right wing for my tastes (since I skew left) just as socdems are too left wing for conservative tastes.

I have discovered during my undergraduate studies that I learn better when I write down what I am trying to understand. I need not read back what I have written. Just the act of putting it to paper will drill it in my brain.

For this purpose, I need a pen that can keep up with my thoughts. And the only kind of pens that can do that are ball pens. They last forever, they write from any angle, you don't have to worry about tilting it, just scratch away. I must have used ball pens by the dozen.

However, now later in life, I find that ball pens are unpleasant to write with. I would much rather use a gel pen or whatever type is the pilot pen. I can actually read back what I wrote (slower speed means I take the time to properly form the letters) and it does not feel like I am scratching the paper.

That's laughably incorrect. Whatever "free country" means, there are precise rules regarding the info you're allowed to keep and organize about me.
If cloudflare did that, then you do a simple DNS change and host your content somewhere else.

You are ALWAYS going to be contracting with a third party to provide your connection to the internet... why is trusting cloudflare not to block you riskier than trusting your ISP or the data center that has your server?
So I know this is all probabilistic and there's probably some benefit, but are there really a meaningful number of attackers who could attack a server which only allows public key authentication and who will be slowed by country-granularity IP blocking? If you're counting blocked attempts in logs, you're counting attempts that were never going to succeed.

(Note: This works only if 1. Your IP blocks are very coarse, and 2. You disallow password authentication)

> you're locked out with no hope of getting back in.

Fortunately, most VPS and dedicated server hosts have a side channel that allows you to regain access when needed. It might be an automated dashboard feature to reset the root password, or you could open a support ticket. With colo, you can actually drive to the DC and reboot into single-user mode. In any case, you won't be locked out permanently. :)

Attackers, of course, can also social-engineer those side channels to gain access if they really tried. Much easier than cracking long passwords or 2048+ bit private keys.
> You can either be spending your best years being seen as a barely necessary expense in an incompetent bureaucratic place, or spending your best years wasting your life on lottery tickets at a tech startup, or you can be spending your best years destabilizing democracies while greasing the wheels of an ad targeting monster laughing smugly at everyone else especially the cryptocurrency developers, or spending your best years learning how to interview at said ad targeting monster.

There are other options. For example, I've spent the best years of my life on startups building things that are doing good in the world and trying to get them to scale. I haven't had any home runs, but I've helped get a faster acting anti-psychosis drug approved for people with severe schizophrenia, gotten a COVID vaccine approved faster, and now build tools for social workers that have gotten hundreds of people out of homelessness and helped people get out of housing that was making them sick. Despite not yet having a winning startup lottery ticket, that I've made a small positive difference in the world is enough for me, especially because I earn more than enough to have a comfortable life.

This revelation is usually in the introduction or first chapter of any book covering sourdough specifically or fermentation generally. But yes pretty much correct. Acetic acid bacteria are also a factor.

Anyway though, the long fermentation probably does give some chance for the bacteria to develop but it's not the main flavoring factor on that time scale. It's just esters from the alcohol and enzyme byproducts and shit idk I'm not a chemist. You can pasteurize your flour before adding yeast to prove it though, it's an uncommon but known cooking school demo.

It either does or doesn't work for speed running a sourdough starter depending on what your goal is. If you want a workable starter to bake with it will be super fast, but the bread is indistinguishable from one baked from a poolish with commercial yeast. Which is basically what you're doing. If you want any of the flavor or texture indicators of sourdough they wont be there in that time frame though, since you won't have enough bacteria.

Over time it will drift towards standard starters and after weeks or months will be indistinguishable from them.
Oh man, this times 1000. I often buy 40-50+ year old books with non-glossy paper dust jackets. Those stickers rip those dust jackets every time, meaning I have to leave those blasted stickers on or ruin the jacket.

Ask HN: How do you manage a fulltime job+family+side project at the same time?
I've been getting consistently busy working on a few side projects myself but as a husband that has turned into a father recently, I am fighting to find time. I'm getting rather serious about my side project and can't really give up at any point. I am only however, willing to launch my product when it shows some promise. To keep the ball rolling, I'm currently in a situation where I can't let go of my full-time job yet.

I know people slowly Transition from an employee to an entrepreneur, but with a family and kids, I wanted to know every piece of valuable information to extract the most of my busy life as much as I can. My wife works on a full-time job that pays well, for what It's worth.

> To present systems management without the "intricacies of computers" you either have to not care where the actions lead you, or have a system that is perfectly understood.

This is a false dichotomy—why would there be no middle ground? It's in that middle ground that all useful abstractions reside, and many of them are effectively lossless compressions of some "computational intricacies," which makes it possible to non-misleadingly interact through some simplified interface.

This isn't to say that forming such a simplified interface is impossible to get wrong, but to say the results will necessarily be poor is overly dismissive.

Security always exists in layers. Policy is a layer - e.g. asking people to do something. Another layer is to have a system to remind/enforce that policy. Writing down passwords is (generally) an obviously stupid thing to do, perhaps worthy of termination. But forgetting to put a passphrase on one SSH key when you regularly use a dozen of them for different purposes - this is absolutely not an offense worthy of termination.

I think you're right, and I think what the author is actually trying to get at is what's known as a rival in anime (which is a bit more nuanced than the typical sense of rival) and roughly translates to friendly rivalry. Unlike the case for mentors, rivals need not have loads more experience. They can also be mutually beneficial in a largely positive sense and without antagonism, unlike the case for nemeses.

But you can't be friendly if foundation is strewn with fear and insecurity. It's also important to be able to recognize if rivalry is causing too much stress and revisit your goals and priorities. Sometimes it's fine to explore and go at your own pace.
I'm curious was it consistently bad for those two years or more of a see-sawing of highs and lows? I ask because two years seems like a long time given the bleakness of your summary.

Well, I don't lose them very often, can't remember the last time, but losing a $5 pen isn't the worst thing in the world, while losing a $100 pen (several pens mentioned in this thread are above that) would be painful.

Also, I don't just give them out to strangers, I've just given maybe three out over the years (to writer and artist friends.) It's true that they're pricier than a Bic, but they have a beautiful feel when writing that I feel is worth the extra few bucks.

If you want to save a few bucks, you can also get the non-metal ones, the plastic EnerGels are $9.97 for a pack of 8 at Walmart, but I lose them so infrequently that it would work out to maybe a couple bucks a year tops to write with the metal ones.
Can we not call companies silly names. It seems childish.

To answer the actual question - its the obvious answer. They make a product that works well and is relatively cheap. Is it without drawbacks? obviously not, nothing is. However, for a significant segment of the market the value proposition makes sense.
There's a company that has that idea - Heatbit. https://heatbit.com

Feel free to play with the numbers.

The numbers that I come up with for 6 months (not going to run the heater in the summer) put an earnings of $285 with a cost of electricity of $850 to do it.

And that's before the cost of the device which is a $1000 item (compare with a $60 one that heats more efficiently).
That isn't exactly a truck load of cash.

Disagree: virtually everything in JS is mutable, so this almost means "never use the `const` keyword". Pretending that the `const` keyword means something that it doesn't makes things harder for my limited human mind to understand, not easier. Plus using `let` inappropriately makes my linter yells at me, and I usually like to just do whatever my linter tells me.

Anyway, I use TypeScript, so if I really want to assert that my array is immutable (as immutable as stuff in JS-land gets anyway) I just write:

const input: readonly number[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

or even

const input = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] as const;
On the other hand, I trust the US government about as much as I trust the Chinese government, or any other government for that matter. None of them, when push comes to shove, give a crap about a plebe like myself. They’ll all use whatever they have on me to get what they want if I could be of any use in the future.
We reach.

But with ML facial recognition I figure the jig is up.
There’s no goal to reduce emissions from planes. There’s a goal to reduce overall emissions.

> Whereas if you lose access to your device with ssh keys, you're locked out with no hope of getting back in.

And if you lose access to your password manager, you're equally locked out. If you're not using a password manager, you're either 1. Dealing with a tiny number of servers (possible and legitimate), 2. Reusing passwords, or 3. Using insecure passwords. ... Okay, fine, 4. Or a world class memory/mnemonic device expert. Just back up your keys.
>It is extremely centralized control and the CEO of Cloudflare has already terminated accounts of a business he had a personal distaste for on whim.

Capitalism does not imply free (i.e. competitive) market, or the other way around. Capitalism is an economic system in which ownership of the means of production (aka capital, hence the name) is treated the same as any other property, and can thus be accumulated indefinitely. Large corporations monopolizing whole industries is a pinnacle of raw capitalism in that sense, and it's also extremely bad for free market.

Moving the port reduces security. Port 22 is a privileged port. Standard users can’t listen on port 22. If you move the port to 2222 or wherever, then if an attacker with local access can get sshd to crash, they can run their own sshd instead. If you left the port as the default, they wouldn’t be able to do that without chaining it with a privilege escalation attack. But because you changed the port, you disabled this security feature and it could become a privilege escalation attack.
