Tensile, mostly, but it's not stronger, it's tougher. The other answers to your question so far are all wrong or missing the central point.

Spider silk has ultimate tensile strength comparable to some high-strength steels, around 1.4 GPa. Everyday steels are significantly weaker, around 0.4 GPa. Some steels have higher tensile strengths, like 2.6 GPa maraging steel. There are many materials with similar or higher tensile strengths: E-glass (3.5 GPa), carbon fiber (typically 4.1 GPa, 7 GPa for Toray T1100G), kevlar (3.8 GPa), zylon (5.8 GPa), boron (3.1 GPa), sapphire (1.9 GPa), diamond (2.8 GPa), graphene (130 GPa), dyneema (3 GPa). Some of these, like dyneema, are even comparable in density to spider silk. So what's so special about spider silk?

Where spider silk is outstanding is that it combines high strength with high extensibility. Think of rubber: cast iron or diamond are much stronger than a rubber tire in the sense that they can bear heavier loads on the same cross section, whether in tension, compression, or shear; but if you hit a cast iron pot or a diamond with a sledgehammer they will break, while a rubber tire will be unharmed. This is because the rubber deforms under the blow, slowing down the hammer without ever experiencing a very high force.

If you integrate the force on a spring over a distance (∫ F · dx), you get the change in the energy of the spring. If you integrate it over the spring's entire working range, you get its energy capacity as a spring. Every solid object is a spring, so you can do this for any solid object. "Stress" is force divided by cross-sectional surface area, and "strain" is extension divided by length, and the presumption of linear elasticity theory is that the stress–strain relation of a material, as well as its yield stress and breaking stress, are properties of the material rather than of particular objects made from it.

If, instead of integrating force over distance, you integrate stress over strain, you get the amount of deformation energy the material can absorb per unit volume without breaking, for example in an impact. That's the material's theoretical toughness.

All the other high-strength materials in the above list either deform plastically or break at under 10% extension; many of them break at under 0.1% extension. Spider silk breaks at 35%–500% extension. This makes some spider silks 10 times tougher than even kevlar.

Usually compressive, tensile, and shear strengths increase and decrease together; the biggest exception is when the material is full of cracks, like glass and concrete.
I wish there was more clarity on what this rule actually means. I can see how this particular comment would get a side-eye (though I think it doesn't stand out among the others in this thread), but when I look through my recent comments I'm having trouble figuring out the line here.
You interested in being a sub contractor?

Seriously though, one of the most powerful tools in consulting is a deep rolodex of unique talent. You never want to be in the position of telling a client you can't help them. You should always be honest, but you should also be prepared.

Someone could probably put together a pretty nice consulting association/firm with contacts made here on HN.

I'm curious to try out Nyxt. But I see it's not built on Chromium or anything like that. How robust is it at handling random edge cases on the web? Does anybody run into issues where you need to go back to another browser on some pages? (I face this with Firefox even, unfortunately)
At that point, you're not benefiting from the GC'ed language. Just use C/C++/Rust/etc, and you'll end up with something faster and more reliable for a small fraction of the effort.

“So is it really a crime to attack a hostile state?”

I don’t know if it’s illegal per se but it’s definitely a dangerous game. If there are any misunderstandings things like this could lead to retaliation and ultimately armed conflict.

Off the top of my head...

- Kids can spread it in their community

- Adults and elderly people work at schools

- Not all kids are fully vaccinated

- Kids are adaptable, it's adults who are throwing temper tantrums about having to wear a mask

- Most of the mental health effects mentioned in the article are consequences of school closures, not caused by wearing a mask and reducing crowding in the cafeteria. In fact masking can make school more normal and routine, by reducing the need for substitute teachers, or skipping PE because the gym teacher is out sick, etc.
Conspiracy theories about conspiracy theorists. I like it.
Under no circumstances do I support publishing real names for users in association with their online activity. I grudgingly concede that some will wish to do so voluntarily, but it should never be compulsory, nor should it be permissible to indicate whether or not any user’s name is the same as their legal name. As long as people can be rapidly and efficiently held accountable if they abuse others, it doesn’t matter to me in the slightest what they want to openly call themselves on any given Internet site, and I want constraints in place to ensure that “publish your legal name” is an impermissible form of direct, indirect, and/or peer pressure.
I deleted my FB a while ago and it truely helped my online mental health. The fb feed was full of false news and hate speech. I reported as much as I could but nothing happening. There wasn't any regulations and I felt more toxic on the contents. I am not gonna lie there was a positive side like knowing the news instantly but It's not worth it apparently.

Gollum is the reason I can't watch those movies anymore. Any scene he is in has him bouncing around like a piece of rubber. It doesn't look like the ring made him ill at all; on the contrary, he has the energy and exuberance of Bugs Bunny. It's eye roll material.
Employees could really game the system. On average there's 1 "big" prize (outside the GLEP prizes) every 4 packs. Any time you see a pack go from start to ~5 remaining without a big prize, buy every remaining ticket.

There's also guaranteed restrictions on the maximum number of losers in a row. So if you see ~6+ (depends on ticket) losers in a row, then buy the next few until you win. I've run simulations on those distributions and it's profitable. But it's a situation that only an employee could take advantage of. And it probably comes up rarely.

I just tested it. I picked something[1] off of /newest that was 4 hours old, and created a new submission with that as the link and the same title. It seemed like it submitted, but on closer look, HN had actually just taken me to the old post. The poster was still the previous person, the time was still the previous submission time. Funnily though, it actually upvoted it. I hadn't upvoted it before, but submitting it caused me to automatically upvote the other person's post.

I guess I could try it with different ages if you want.

I used to live next to an urban intersection. I have no experience designing intersections, but after five minutes looking from my fourth floor apartment down to the intersection, I concluded that it had been designed by either a moron or an enemy of human kind.

Next year I heard no less than five accidents, one of then ending with a car upside down.

Then they probably called the same person to re-design the interception and it was a total success: less accidents, but a constant horns concert complaining of people that gets fooled into getting into a turning lane, but doesn't want to turn and trying to go back to their path... that provoked some accidents, but not so many.

From early morning everyday, a huge noise. After some months, everybody in the neighborhood learned you should exit the lane in advance so you won't get caught. But being one main street in the city, there's always someone that doesn't know. I just had to wait ten minutes looking at it, and it happens. Then a lot of horns. The people complaining had surely made the same mistake some day earlier, but anyway.

Maybe the bad attitude comes from observing that there are often persons out there that makes a very bad job.
It’s closer to two trillion. But I think 0.1% is a hilarious number to assert is too high a price to pay. How much is skimmed as central banks flow money to citizens? How much is embezzled in corrupt orgs/nations?

Traditional finance puts power in men that don’t even need to hack anything to take far more than 0.1%.

Half of everything would be likely worth it if crypto lives upto even a smidge of it’s true promise.

In practice the people who are doing this very likely have that much ETH on hand and can simply use it, then rebuy over time to get back to their preferred holding levels.

If you had $320mm USD and needed ETH, you'd want to use an OTC desk, because the markets will feel it, even though they won't actually run out of depth. Right now the "+2% depth" (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/markets/) on Coinbase, Binance, and FTX is about 5mm, and there's probably a dozen other markets with similar depth, though you'd want to execute the trades simultaneously. Decentralized exchanges have depth too; uniswap's USDC/ETH pool would let you buy $40mm for 2% slippage. All in all, you could probably get it all at about a 5% premium if you were really prepared for it.
The commonality between FB, IG, Tiktok, Snapchat, Twitter (and YouTube to some extent) is that they're primarily personalized algorithmically generated infinite feeds of stories. The particular algorithms and their objective functions differ from app to app but the underlying model is just the same. These sites generally do have other ways of consuming information, but the dominant mechanism is the algorithmically generated personalized feed.

There are alternatives, such as sites like HN (single feed for everyone), Reddit (per-subreddit ranking which is global rather than algorithmically targeted), many news sites (organized by department vs infinite scroll, newsletters (here's today's set of stories for everyone), etc.
There was a ducted fan version of this type of craft, a little more famous.

Ask HN: How to Log API Usage Statistics?
I am looking for a tool or service to track API usage on my website. I'm not exactly sure what to search for and the results are so over SEO'ed it's impossible to figure out.

I need to see a graph of the number of API requests over time and filter by user id, IP address, http response code, endpoint used, and resource requested.

Ideally below the graph there would be a list of the actual API requests, metadata, and responses.

I would also like a way to see the distribution of API response times.

I have looked at ELK stack, AWS CloudWatch Metrics, DataDog, PaperTrail, Sentry. None of these quite seem to do what I want.

Any suggestions?

I'm fairly good at crypto (not as good as Colin of course) but I think that's not of that much help in general security stuff. Pen testing = knowing all the bugs and code smells in the popular Javascript frameworks, 0 days in a zillion libraries like log4j, etc. I'm basically resigned that the modern web is bloaty buggy crap and so I haven't found it worthwhile to get too familiar with its workings. I have gotten some fairly pure crypto gigs here and there, but I think wider security, especially web security, is a much bigger and messier subject.

It should be noted that the content filters were implemented really badly. Like, saying “my ten year old truck” would suddenly stop your story in its tracks, lots of things would trigger it. Plus, people became uncomfortable with the idea that the AI Dungeon employees were potentially reading your stories at any time.
I made something very similar. neartribe.com where you could video chat with people near you. Ran into similar problems as @sailorganymede where users would need to wait very long to be matched with someone & eventually get bored & log off.

The project is still live but in retrospect I would have started with a niche audience & let them decide on a time before hand. Then start on demand matching only when the site reached a critical mass of users.

On a side note I am impressed that your post reached the top page & got >150 upvotes. When I tried posting I was only able to get 3-5 upvotes :/
My understanding is that for this type of gaming, e.g. gambling, there are regulations governing the randomness and repeatability of the randomness for computer/electronic run games. Part of it due to necessities of verification of sufficient randomness from the perspective of the gamer but also that of the gaming establishment. The game needs to be provably sufficiently random to the advertised odds for fairness to both the gamer and the gaming establishment.

For all intents and purposes, using a true source of randomness as the seed for something like a one-time use of Mersenne Twister as a pseudorandom number generator (PNG) is indistinguishable to an end user of true randomness. What it does do, though, is allow for reproducible testing to ensure you don't have an xkcd PNG [0].

Source: bar chat with a couple of friends & former coworkers who had spent time in that area of gaming (e.g. working on video poker machines destined for casinos), so take it with a grain of salt.

Government hypocrisy is a cliché and isn't very notable above the din. The people that the OP need on their side will be focusing on the fact that vaccines are so obviously not "experimental" that have gone into billions of arms with historically massive studies preceding that and historically massive post-vaccine surveillance following it. The perhaps hypocritical government people will easily be able to label holdouts like the OP as ignorant, selfish, and politically motivated and that will ring true to the electorate, and for good reason.

Maybe I’m old school, but there’s usually more to someone than what they share on Facebook. One of the funniest people I know, and a good real life friend for nearly a two two decades, posts dumb stuff like that all the time. We also have great conversations full of conflicting viewpoints, which I love, and we’ve both changed the others perspectives. I don’t really care what their political beliefs or medical choices are. We can find common interests outside of that. It doesn’t affect me. For some reason, that’s now the primary focus of many peoples lives and identity. He’s more than that, and I hope I am too.
Yep, I'm always open to new opportunities, but to manage my own sanity and time, I keep my client list short and have a robust set of referrals if I'm already working on an incident. Almost all of the work I take is after hours and weekends as that's where my flexibility is.

I like the idea of working for a consulting firm as needed but it feels like most of those companies only want full-time commitments and I'm rather attached to my current position.
