> My main issue with Node-RED is that I have to install, run and maintain it myself. There have been times when I've forgotten which Raspberry Pi it was running on and I've re-flashed the SD card!

Installing Node-RED is a low-effort task. Setting up backups of your flows is a tad more effort, but plenty of documentation around this. It also does IMAP, I believe. In an article bemoaning vendor abandonment syndrome, something free that runs on your own equipment, is a feature.

A post-it note would be a cheaper solution to that second problem.
The gyroscopes described in the article actually, if we measure with sufficient precision, will not keep pointing in exactly the same direction as determined by distant objects. They will precess. Heuristically, the precession has three components:

(1) Thomas precession;

(2) De Sitter or geodetic precession;

(3) Lense-Thirring precession.

The first two are due to the rotation of whatever platform the gyroscope is riding on, in this case the Earth, so they are also evidence for the Earth's rotation. The second is due to the spacetime curvature produced by the Earth. (The third also involves spacetime curvature, through effects on it due to the Earth's rotation.)

(Note that these effects are separate from the effects of imperfect isolation of the gyroscope, which the article discusses.)

I just cut out cannabis a little over two weeks ago after about two years of near-daily use.

I happened to catch a cold right around the same time and felt generally miserable. My immediate reaction was "maybe I should take a hit, then I can deal with the head cold a little better."

Before quitting I found myself thinking about getting high too much, despite being in my mid thirties with a family and a business to run. It felt like too much of a crutch.

What I had to do was to get rid of everything I had, even though it killed me to throw away a handful of pre-rolls, as long as they were around I kept finding myself in a loop of "I'll just stop tomorrow"

I'm finding that playing guitar is a little less enjoyable, I've been really lethargic(sleeping in more than normal) but also more clear-headed. My short-term memory is a bit better and I'm exercising a bit more. I'm setting more goals and knocking them off my to-do list more frequently.

I immediately dropped about 6-8 lbs(205 > 197lbs) in the first week and have leveled off. It's funny, I was hanging out with some friends last night who were partaking and am glad to see I've still got the willpower to say no.

Life has a been a bit more mundane, I'm hoping to look back at the 30 day mark to see if that changes

Good luck to you!
> Honest question, have you ever owned a large-scale, low-latency service in both Java and PHP, and have you compared latency characteristics between both runtimes?

No, if I've worked at a shop with a large scale low latency PHP app, they aren't not bothering their ass with Java, no need. They clearly have a highly comptent dev team who know their tools.

The only time I've dealt with Java is when companies are moving away from Java because their Java app is bloated beyond hell. They have a dev team that aren't highly comptent and think switching languages will help.

If I was dealing with the two, I would most certainly expect the Java one to handle scale better. But if I'm at lower level scale I would expect the PHP one to require less resources. Once PHP starts to scale up it can be a resource hog.

The reality is the comptency level of your dev team is the most important thing.

A think you need to remember, the JVM can scale massively well but the majority of systems don't need to scale well.
probably this should be an Ask Hn:, I guess magical.app is the text expander? My guess would be if you're looking VC money they wouldn't see it as a tool with great potential be something everybody uses, it's a niche tool and they want ubiquity - that's just a guess though.
I have yet to see any evidence that someone successfully wash traded their NFT project to success, but lots of people claiming that it is common place.

We should collaborate! I've also been building a job board but for the north american market mostly. I have an engine that scrapes and organizes job listings automatically. I haven't worked on it in months but it's still going strong scraping and archiving. It also has a backend to subscribe, apply, save, sort listings & companies etc, has a few minor things to finish up otherwise it fully works. Let me know how to contact you if you wanna chat. I haven't quite had the motivation to launch/do anything with it.
Well it was kind of a social contract, and it was primarily the Greek slaves who achieved manumission, starting from a position of parity in cultural and racial perception (we're speaking purely in terms of their status in the Mediterranean as a people with greatness, with the legacy of a great history which in general is the consequence of being conquerors), and usually an advantage in most intellectual matters. In the intellectual the Roman shone in oratory, law, civil engineering, and others I forget. There are many where the Romans were considered the best. But Greek language was of greater prestige in the highest circles of Rome, for instance the last words of Gauis Julius Caesar were in Greek, tutors had to be Greek, and Greek slaves played, under working conditions enviable even by many Americans in the 21st century, an essential part in the production of the Aeneid, which was the equivalent of the time of a major motion picture, and which involved extensive cryptography. Cryptographic techniques of the time were used to conceal its true message for thousands of years, while ensuring there was enough fidelity in the whole work to ensure the message could be conveyed. What this meant in practice is the Greeks serving Virgil had to count sounds in verses by applying certain rules to the characters, and count with absolute certainty. Coming full circle, for such great undertakings that required such great secrecy to conceal the message from the Emperor the slave's loyalty could really only be bought with the sound promise of freedom.

>why this process was considered at all

Tax Refund theft. The IRS pays out billions every year in returns filed by scammers.
I haven't kept up with what they're doing so grain of salt on this, but I think this is incorrect.

What they're moving towards is a design that looks like what Apple did with their HSM quorum system. The contact information we're talking about is encrypted clientside, but with (usually) a memorable pin. Without countermeasures, memorable PINs are very easy to attack; SGX allows them to artificially limit guesses. As a user, you retain a security dial on this: you can use a more complicated passcode than a 4-digit pin if you don't trust SGX.

Obtaining the whole database Signal maintains gives you ciphertext that you need to mount attacks on user-by-user (and to make those attacks, you'd have to break SGX). It doesn't simply give you the plaintext SQL database other messaging systems collect.
Thanks, it indeed adds more detail!

I'm not convinced every bit of frustrating UI is good "friction". The author mentions many old games, but to be honest, even as a retrogamer I find going back to some clunky UI decisions of old games so frustrating it impedes my enjoyment of those games.

I think some "friction" is indeed useful, and that the convenience of a modern UI is sometimes detrimental to the gameplay experience. To name another example, also from Lukas Pope (hey, fanboy here!) in "Return of the Obra Dinn", the player is an insurance inspector unravelling the mystery of a merchant ship that returned without crew. There is no way of teleporting between spots in the ship, even if it would be a modern and convenient UI: the author has said he wanted to recreate the feeling of walking inside a medium size ship, and teleporting would have destroyed that feeling.

However, the extreme of "sometimes the UI makes you misclick or doesn't respond accurately" would be frustrating for no good gameplay role. It seems the issue described in that twitter thread, of clicking on an item but it got sold so it got swapped with another one at the last second, and you end up buying the wrong one, is borderline frustrating for no good reason.

A player could accuse the author of being lazy, e.g. "you just didn't think this through and now you want to claim bugs are features", whereas the limited UI in a game like "Papers, Please!" -- like it or hate it -- is evidently intentional, and there's no mistaking that.
In today's individualized, algorithmic online world, it's safer to assume you're in a weird bubble until proven otherwise. My Twitter/Facebook/whatever feed is totally different than yours. Everyone still has a Facebook account (though; noticeable dip in Q1) and Snapchat is still wildly popular.
Hey, the virus did originate in Wuhan China and was covered up initially by the CCP. That's just a fact. Nothing racist about it.

Also, we didn't make these posters, but that shouldn't detract from the actual genocide that's occurring today.
They're also critical to getting people to move from WhatsApp.

Next time when Facebook pulls something user-hostile (e.g. monetization with ads, yet another privacy policy change for the worse, ...) some people will simply install Signal. If they use phone numbers as (an) identifier, two people who do this independently can immediately switch to Signal.

If A convinces B to switch, and C convinces D to switch, B and D can now talk to each other, reducing the pressure to keep WhatsApp as more and more of your friends are reachable on Signal. Even if you're using WhatsApp in addition to Signal, with phone numbers as identifiers, you're no longer contributing to the network effect that makes it painful for your friends to switch from WhatsApp to Signal.

Given that network effect is what makes or breaks messengers, phone numbers as the primary identifier are the only reasonable choice.
But it just so happens that one preference is highly correlated with doing useful work, and the other to chatting, butt-in-seat mentality, and having others do your job (asking for "help").

We’ve had 3+ in/around the South China Sea for quite some time now, & only one near Russia/Ukraine.

Not to be too tinfoil hatty, but it would appear we have some major concerns in that area while Russia/Ukraine tensions have been building.

I personally have a lot of friends on the Essex right now & worry about that being a major target if the US gets heavily involved with Russia & China decides to step in. I see it as essentially the most vulnerable of our aircraft carrying capable ships that are deployed.

> However, I think it's equally as condescending to claim that the opinions, behaviors, and ideologies of the CCP are fully condoned and endorsed by all of the Chinese people

You can empirically test this. Harvard University did, and found that upwards of 90% of the Chinese people support their government. And why wouldn't they? QoL has skyrocketed for hundreds of millions of Chinese over the last 40 years.
> They're great compared to the alternative of simply storing a plaintext register of every pair of communicating parties on the server, which is how other messengers work.

> They don't want phone numbers on the merits of phone numbers.

I thought they were pretty vocal about wanting to use phone numbers to save people from the pain and despair of having to enter their friends' usernames into Signal, a pure UI concern.

The server needs to store each pair of communicating parties if it wants to announce presence information like AIM did. But that's unnecessary for a phone-based messenger - everyone is always "present" at all times.
It's not so much that they don't want google to know what you bought or paid: it's that they want you back on their website so that they can track you / encourage additional purchases.
Yes, the 1994 Flame Fighters is an outstanding set! My main dislike of the modern version is that the fire truck does not have a ladder (that would offer a lot of playability). The water gun just looks puny.

EDIT: still, even if I have a weakness for even older fire sets, I acknowledge that the modern lego fire stations are very good toys. My son has spend countless hours playing with the 2016 version [0], which is incredibly playable, and whose fire truck is the best.

Nope, I work for Google.
Your math looks plausible for an ideal cryptographic hash, but wouldn't you first have to prove that SHA-256 actually does behave as if each unique input generates an independent random number?
It would be great if we could rotate the fingerboard - first fret on the right is counter-intuitive to me.

I think they meant a US citizen wouldn't necessarily equate criticism of USA's actions to criticism of US citizens. Like their actions in Iraq or Vietnam. This might not be true for majority of population of some nations.
Ugh. Academic marketing groups can be just as ridiculous as corporate marketing groups. The modeling device happens to be about the size of a kitchen sink, it isn't an actual kitchen sink.
I actually had a talk with my manager about that, as I was curious about how it actually worked (yes you can ask your manager it's not illegal).

There IS an expectation of managers being able to identify the bottom performers in their team, but for the PIP part it's up to the manager. They absolutely can push back and say that no-one in their team deserves to get PIP'ed. They would have to write a reason (i.e. "No one on my team is performing low enough that I'd prefer re-hiring") but that's pretty much it.

Anecdotes on the Internet make it seem like we are all scared at review time to see who is going to get PIP'ed, but that's just not how it is...
Same, my wife and I have been more or less holed up the past month or so, waiting for our area's death rates and hospitalizations to normalize, but honestly I'd like even the case count to drop more before I venture back into the world.

Yes, I could get COVID and yes, I'd probably be fine, but the more information coming out around lingering effects give me serious pause about the "everyone will get it eventually" route.

I'd rather never get it, if that's possible, and honestly if the numbers continue to drop as they have been, I'm a few weeks away from that being actually possible in my area again.
I think it's pretty shallow still, even with that, because it's just a generic dismissal. Most readers are already familiar enough with this phenomenon that your comment amounts to a knee-jerk reaction—literally the most obvious thing one might say in the closest generic category. That's a marker of a bad HN comment, because it points to shallower, more generic discussion.

Good comments are reflective, not reflexive: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor....

Just enough built up negativity that caused a transition in public (and market) sentiment.

The markets aren't all that efficient or things like this wouldn't happen. Markets underestimated obvious risks and those risks reached high enough levels that there's a bit of a run to be the first out the door.

Of course. Come up with the costs -- one-time, recurring, including hiring additional stuff to maintain this contraption, and benefits -- one hour of downtime costs our company $XXX, we have Y hours per year, new solution would cut Z hours of downtime.

> The data presented here are very likely not bias in the way your describing as it because of the contrast to both controls that would capture "it's always been that way" effect.

That's not really what I said -- I'm not actually taking a stance on the conclusions of this paper. COVID has obviously been infecting massive numbers of people in the last couple of years, and if it is responsible for long-term cardiovascular sequelae as the paper concludes, of course it would be a more acute contributor over that period as compared to other historical causes simply by virtue of its pervasiveness.

Rather what I said is that the disease itself may not be causing "havoc" in the body at rates significantly different than other endemic viruses ("havoc" writ large: not only confined to cardiovascular sequelae, but among any long-term systemic harms). The bias that I am proposing is that we are _noticing_ these sequelae because A) so many people are getting sick at the same time, and B) because we are paying this much attention for the first time ever.
> I.E, are you against all cricatures whereby a 'segment of the population' non-existent person was used, in which case you'd be equally appalled at say a caricature of a trump supporter?

Yes, I think it would be bigoted to depict a random rural American putting a Mexican child into a cage. Is that what you meant by "trump supporter"? Because athletes are also just ordinary citizens unlike, for example, a border patrol agent which is a representative of the state.

> But you'd be OK of it was Xi Jinping throwing the virus?

Yes, of course people in positions of great power are fair game. Though I think it's a bit of a boring criticism compared to something he's more directly responsible for.
Instant relieve after for about 8 days after drinking liquid xantohumol. Zero issues with sleep, zero depression, anxiety. Actually lots of happiness. But it works in body like woman's hormone so I would kot recommend to abuse if you are man. Ayahuasca, San pedro, pejote can also reset the brain. But most countries banned those, well except xantohumol.

That doesn’t seem right. Projects now are significantly more developed than they used to be, although scams still abound. In the early days I bought something called Hobonickels and it went up 5,000%. It was literally a copy/paste with a changed name. Today the projects have roadmaps, teams, and products that release. They do more auditing, both security and financial. Because the market has demanded it, not some regulatory body.
I like the emails of what I bought, I just have no idea what items were inside #2748747284933938. Sometimes I have multiple orders on the go and telling apart #2748747284933938 from #111111111 or from order #22222222222222 is impossible.
What's a universal thing to the portable device that everyone has got in their pocket? I agree it's sucky and really there could be better ways, should be something none trackable and perhaps offer opt-in discovery via phone book.

The government can track you a lot easier than pinging via signal btw. A lot easier!
They're not "breakthrough" cases since the vaccine was never intended to stop transmission and very clearly does not stop transmission. They're just cases amongst people who took the vaccine.
In most jurisdictions police can't literally strike. But it's tough to prevent them from calling in sick, or force them to actually work when out on patrol.
I've also implemented login.gov as an identity provider of last resort for a system that requires identity proofing (IAL2). It works great once folks are signed up and verified for a login.gov account, but the identity assurance process always seems to end up requiring a piece of mail sent to new users' homes. The phone/utility verification process never seems to work right, and the postal mail option adds a week's delay (or more) to our user enrollment process. In my and several test users' cases, we've had our phone numbers in our names for literally decades, so it isn't a matter of public records being ambiguous.

We've also had problems getting login.gov to proof new users with national but not state IDs. For example, we have someone with a passport but no driver's license. They should be able to use just the passport for identity proofing since the passport itself requires two or more forms of SUPERIOR/STRONG evidence (per NIST SP 800-63-3), but login.gov must not authenticate the passport with the State Department, meaning it fails 800-63A 4.4.1.2 (evidence collection requirements) rule 1 and must implement rule 2, instead (collect two pieces of STRONG evidence, i.e., national _and_ state IDs both). It's really frustrating because I cannot demand my users go out and get (pay for) state IDs they don't otherwise want or need.

All that said, even though login.gov isn't perfect, I do like it and am very impressed with 18F/TTS's work. They've done a very thorough job with their SAML implementation compared to the ADFSes/Oktas/Pings/etc. of the world.

Why silence him, unless he’s breaking laws or losing lawsuits. Marketing has consequences so whatever he says or does defines his audience. Time will tell whether the audience is useful. People should follow and support what they like and ignore what they don’t and let money solve their problems.
