Neither of these points are true. Other manufacturers like Toyota are getting into the "features as a service" game with things like keyless entry.

On the surveillance point, I worked for an auto software company that partnered with a big auto manufacturer on a feature. We were granted access to an API that could geolocate any vehicle made by this company in real-time given its VIN. I volunteered my car's VIN to test with (I drove the same make as the company we partnered with) and confirmed that the API returned real-time location data on my 2019 vehicle. If you own a car that was built in the last 10 years, you are more than likely emitting your location to an internal service maintained by the manufacturer.
The proof of what you've learned is in doing it yourself. Effort from your hands speaks far louder than reading and passing tests. But you can't do everything. Find a club or project adjacent to your interests and do one big thing.
Thanks for the reply

You never know what will be illegal later. Especially when you are in a vulnerable class (i.e. already a target), you can be fairly certain you will be found already "guilty" of something once someone powerful enough starts to dislike you. As such, providing such things and cooperating with the police is essentially assisting your own oppression. It's a stupid idea, regardless of your own conscience.
It raises your chance of success quite a bit.

Ask HN: How do you stay afloat in the subscription economy?
How do you “stay afloat” in the subscription economy? Are we slowly drowning in subscriptions? How do you prioritize what you pay for? Are subscriptions too expensive?

Backstory:

I was looking at an email I received this morning from Oku (A GoodReads SaaS alternative that I have no connection to -- You can easily swap in any of the hundreds of services that get posted to HN). Like so many others I've gotten from the various apps and services for which I've signed up over the years, the email espoused all the latest updates and changes happening on the platform. I was immediately hit with a sense of excitement and mild despair.

While I love the idea of Oku, it's become so difficult to justify paying yet another monthly fee for yet another service. Oku is even on the lower end at just $6/mo! Instapaper and Todoist are others that I can think of on this end at $2.99/mo and $4/mo respectively, but it seems the majority are $8-12/mo. This doesn't even consider the expensive subscriptions like Netflix or YouTube Premium that can be upwards of $15-30.

I say 'despair' because I'm torn between two realities:

1. If a service is valuable to me, I should be paying for it. Not only due to “you are the product”, but because if a service is not profitable, it will inevitably shut down and thereby remove my access to it; I should not depend on it if I'm unwilling to pay for it (no free tier usage).

2. There are a LOT of services out there (like Oku) that are not necessities, but are useful, beneficial, and deserve to be compensated if used. I really don't think it's crazy to think a person could spend $200/mo+ on recurring subscriptions.

Part of me thinks this could be a “power user” problem, but a large portion of the services I can think of are top downloads on their respective app stores: Music streaming, file sharing, video streaming, task management, delivery services, etc. are all pretty mainstream.

All of that to say: What do you think?
You shared an internal link, aside from this, great work!

CDO salutes you.
There’s a durability difference.

“Amazon EFS is designed to provide 99.999999999% (11 9’s) of durability over a given year”

Where-as FSx for lustre’s durability and EBS single volume’s durability isn’t anywhere near as high.

I suspect but cannot confirm that lustre can support higher single instance and in aggregate throughput speeds.
I would add, have fun with other people. Make friends, make meaningful connections. These are harder to do outside of the university setting and this is one of the rare times where you are surrounded by a group of people with similar availability.

Additionally, work on your health. Get fit, learn to eat well.

Don’t overachieve, focus on the few things you are interested in and do them well.
Before, you had to go to the store.
Agreed. Life in general is sales. Job interview? Sales. First date? Sales. Sales is more than "Here's my product/service. Give me money". It's the art of getting someone to do what you want. I can only speak to American culture, but I feel like most people feel icky about that because the first thought that comes to their mind is the car dealership guy that's trying to sell you garbage like gap insurance that you don't need. Kind of like networking, it feels by definition manipulative when it doesn't have to be.
I watched the SNIA presentation from SDC2020 on EFS and it described each extent in the file system as a state machine replicated via multi-paxos.

It seems possible to implement this feature via a time-based leader lease on the extent where a read request goes to a read-through cache. The cache will store some metadata (e.g. a hash or a verison number) of the block it is trying to validate from cache and send that to the leader along with the read request.

If the leader has the same version number for a block as was requested by the cache, the block itself does not need to be transferred and the other replicas don't need to be contacted. If you place the cache in the same AZ as the EC2 instance reading the file system, 600ms sounds viable.

Am I on the right track? :)
The funds were frozen in their TD bank account before they could be distributed - that smaller portion of the total that was released. Likewise, the organizers had a lawyer and accountant hired before GoFundMe would release any money.
> This method of distribution doesn't work when pretty much all apps are almost guaranteed to used a different JVM

Not really. Currently it supports Java 8, 11, and 17. For each of those there is a JRE/JDK option, and a JavaFX option. Plus some of these are subsets. E.g. An app that doesn't need JavaFX can still use the JRE with JavaFX. And an app that doesn't need the full JDK can still use the JDK.

> as others pointed out, downloading two apps from the samples already shows the problem).

This was just an issue with the installer not needing JavaFX so downloading a non-javafx JRE first - but then the app needing JavaFX, so downloading one with JavaFX. This is a special case that will be resolved in an upcoming release by making the installer use a JRE that is compatible with the app to avoid the double download.

Anyways these are "fixed costs". Only incurred on first install. And, even then, maybe not if a compatible JVM is already present. All of your updates go through without the baggage of a JVM.

If you need more specific control over which JVM you're using than this (e.g. a specific build version or distribution), then jlink is a good tool for that. Life is about tradeoffs.
That’s even more interesting. I wonder if components inside the Dragon capsule need to be rebuilt to handle cold vacuum. Or is that a standard design?
Also email services advertise themselves in the email address!
Apple is a public company. People who don’t like the Apple tax can just buy apple stock. Then they receive the tax.
I get the point. But terrible example. Gattaca allowed a scumbag to endanger a billion-dollar space mission to further their own ego. Not the poster child for privacy.
Well not Goddard's work.

Probably solid rockets have a different lineage, too.
Article headlines are increasingly telling you how you should interpret the story before you even read it. And that's bad.
> didn't we used to be in favor of free speech as an abstract dignity of humans?

You're redefining free speech. Free speech is freedom to speak without fear of consequences from your government.

What you're asking for is freedom to speak without consequences from your fellow citizens and your standing in the social community. That's never been how humans have worked, ever. And I doubt even you would want to live in a world where you could not ignore, walk away from, remove from your property, mock, or shout down speech you disagreed with.
In some cases, say when you work very close to a business domain, this may very well be a good thing. But for larger applications, especially that do low-level stuff, the tradeoff is cluttering your namespace with single use parameters. You quickly run into scaling problems.

It's exactly the same reason bindly following "textbook" OOP design is a bad idea. Unless you're able to do some very prescient upfront design of a large part of your application, you're in for a big headache later.
> people excluded from the banking system has been addressed by statutory regulation

I wonder if the effort behind this is a Baptist and Bootleggers moment. Surely some maybe most want to solve something that they see as a societal problem, others see opportunity a la payday lenders, and others see an opportunity for social control. Maybe the people who see not-banking as a social problem also want to use the end result to "nudge" participants in the right direction.

If we're being honest with ourselves blocking major trade routes has at least as much economic impact, though it's harder to see/measure.
Of course you get rights: the right to use the service!
If propaganda was the purpose of that investment then it would have been a terrible one. Major subreddits are very often plastered with anti china stuff. It doesn't even have to be factual.
Meanwhile back when i modded a major subreddit with somewhat of a politics focus around the time when the whole situation in Ukraine kicked of russian propaganda accounts were very obvious and common. (relatively new accounts with certain formats of usernames posting short stuff that was found verbatim on similar accounts, etc)

It reminds me of an American study someone once commented here on HN where they looked into this and whilst they found Russian "shilling" substantial they there were surprised to find actually more anti china bots (mainly posting in simple chinese) across platforms like twitter than pro china ones. Pro-china propaganda efforts were found and measured but were largely amateurish, quickly banned and ineffective.

SpaceX is saving plenty of taxpayer money. They have significant contracts from NASA, which they won by offering reliable launch services for a lower price than their competitors.

There, fix that for you.
In all my years of employment I have never heard of this.

> As I've pointed out, I fail to see how needing to include the Python ecosystem is "progress" over a binary that is tiny, fast, and works. Calling things obsolete because they're "old" is the argument of a teenager. I apologise if that sounds rude, but I don't know how else to put it, that's what it is.

That is indeed rude. And it's not what I said. I'm talking about the proliferation of DSLs like Awk in the world of Unix. I think this makes Unix harder to learn. I also think that each DSL has random limitations. I think installing Python libraries is much simpler, and you get more complete tooling, and a gentler learning curve. If each Unix DSL becomes its own Python library, then it's easier to use them together nicely.

Python can be substituted with another Turing-complete language. Why not just use libraries and abbreviate them for command line use?
38 hours (the estimated work week) is exactly half of the 996 week (76 hours) of some companies in China. I don’t think that’s healthy, but if I had to bet, I’d pick the 76 hour workers outcompeting their 38 hour counterparts.
It's amusing to see that Elon Musk still hasn't admitted that the Starship program won't ever achieve the Mars mission he keeps touting (especially the original proposal of having the single ship take around a hundred human beings into orbit and then refuel and go to Mars in such a tiny vessel). At least someone is getting some use out of the vehicle and hopefully Musk will stop trying to bully his engineers too and let them do good work on the vehicle earth orbit deployments.
> _but without Linux, Hurd would still eventually be ready_

"eventually", however with "if" we can imagine a lot of things. It could also been said that "if Linux didn't exist then maybe BSD would rule the world" ;)
You did not answer the questions though. Answer whether you think if people will decline a rape kit exam, knowing the DNA from that could be used against them in the future. I.e. crimes or whatever circumstances that have not happened yet.
>Why are so many Americans obsessed about Canadian politics all of a sudden? The comments here are mostly non-Canadian, and are not representative of the current general sentiment in Canada.

Canadian here. Americans are concerned about Canadian democracy falling. 43 out of 50 states have no mandates; the remaining 7 are clear political lines. Many other countries in the world never had restrictions. Many who did have also dropped them. It's unreasonable for a high vaccinated country to remain so restricted. The smearing of these protests has been extreme to the point that the world is commenting how bad it is in Canada.

>While invocation of the Emergencies Act is always concerning, it's pretty clearly warranted here. There's always chance for abuse, but Trudeau's minority government is on thin ice and if they cross any lines they're as good as gone.

It's absolutely not warranted but also completely invalid. You cant use the act to shutdown peaceful protests. Several premiers who should have been consulted as per requirements of the act are publicly opposing this.

>I can only imagine the chaos that would unfold if this was happening in Washington, D.C., but it's not. I know some outraged Canadians who support the protests/blockades, but most of them are either extreme right wing (a comically small population compared to USA) or heavily biased through being directly impacted by restrictions (like the travel industry).

That's quite the characterization. Absolutely not accurate compared to my understanding.

>The vast majority of my friends, family, colleagues, strangers on the street, business owners I interact with, lawyers, CEOs, investors, healthcare workers, waiters, bartenders, bus drivers, teachers... are all in strong support of putting an end to the disruption, and in favour of vaccine passports, mask mandates, gathering restrictions, etc. to protect public health.

Of your friends.

https://twitter.com/AngusReid/status/1488044322192695297

In reality polls show somewhere between 50% and 75% of Canadians support the protests and think restrictions must end. you know... like the rest of the world is doing.

>Compared to the USA, Canadians care much more about what's best for the collective whole than about personal freedoms. This is simply a case of a small minority causing problems for the majority, amplified by the fact that the USA leans towards supporting the protestors.

You seem to be living in a political bubble. Out of curiosity, do you believe Trudeau when he says the protesters are 'fringe minority of racists, sexists, and white supremacists?'
It starts with a T.
Hah. A late friend who got mixed up with those folks had horror stories of Stephen Wolfram calling him in the middle of the night with ideas.

I still like the product, though.
Reddit like to claim some lofty, detached sense of free speech as if the sexualization of minors was something that happened without their influence.

One thing they don't want to talk about these days is how they minted a one-of-a-kind profile trophy called "Pimp Daddy" to commend u/violentacrez for his sustained and voluminous work on maintaining the "jailbait" subreddit, plastering Reddit with bawdy pictures of high school girls he scraped from social media.

It wasn't until Anderson Cooper did a piece on the practice that the whitewashing began, with sudden claims of disinterest in the matter for the sake of free speech.
This is brilliant. I love finding old pages, my uncle used to have a page way back in the day and I remember (as a kid) being absolutely fascinated by it. Seemed like magic to me. It's now mostly defunct (nothing works anymore, the tabs don't even show up, but it still has a landing page) http://wildrock.de/
Getting to orbit isnt the hard part having reliable engines (tested) and rocket (also tested), its returning in a state allowing for rapid reusability / not already having a RUD on deorbiting. I would be extremely surprised if any heat shield system manages a few flights without significant inspection / replacement.

Do a ping test between two machines in your local network. Turns out it’s very hard to get sub millisecond speeds. Especially sub 500 microseconds.

the kernel will buffer and queue packets vs sending them out asap. So there’s delay added at your host level and networking layer. The. You’ve got the speed of light traversing that distance. All this adds latency.
See it's one of those things where you can't be sure if it's sarcasm or not; I've read plenty of anecdotes where it was in fact a case of putting in sleep() on purpose (either to remove it later to show off, or because customers were complaining things went too fast), or leaving it in by accident.

Another variant is that older games (think cartridges, some CD's) had a block of unused data, so that when the game approached completion and they had to crunch to make it fit on the cartridge, they had some space left over. Probably the same for RAM memory.
It would be good for Americans to understand how their layered elections work out into something quite undemocratic. Designed to be so [1] in fact. Things don't need to be this way, and to set the country up for bad incentives this way, but it requires understanding who exactly is fighting and benefiting from the current set up.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Money_(book) Yes, it's a book. Highly worth the time it takes to read to make the point in full.
Obviously- it's much easier to start a company when you have a safety net to catch you. That does not mean that mean only rich people can start companies, but it does mean it's a lot easier for them.
That's literally missing the entire point of it. You already have this now - always had it. There's nothing new or interesting about what you're "proposing".

What IS new and interesting is getting employees who work 20% less, AND THEREFORE are 20% more productive (and presumably 20% happier), at the same cost.
I think you're misinterpreting the title, which admittedly is misleading.

It's not the internet itself being small, rather your exposure to it. In simpler times, you'd lead your normal "offline" life during the day and then at night one would have "computer time".

Now life is pretty much only "computer time", all day long.
> focus on subjects you like and other subjects that you don't like just do minimum to pass

To add to that: unless you are already very focused on what you want to get into in the end, if you have some flexibility in the modules you can take try to test out some things you might not naturally go for. A well-rounded understanding can be more useful at early stages than a focused expertise. “Jack of all trades”¹ was not originally meant as a derogatory phrase, and IMO shouldn't be one today either. Unless you have a specific strong focused passion already, I suggest specialising later rather than sooner.

[1] the full phrase makes this obvious: A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.
Keycloak will work just fine and can be somewhat quick to setup - it will link with LDAP, can be even made to provide password change option with write access, can import groups, attributes (including custom ones), etc.

It will also provide you with SAML and OIDC web authentication, and can support WebAuthN, U2F, certificate auth, and so on for your apps, as well as integrate Google Authenticator compatible MFA (out of the box) or link with privacyIdea for more complex authentication setup. It can even link kerberos with HTTP, if you need it :)

Pretty much everything that supports custom OIDC (or SAML) will work with Keycloak out of the box.
It is apparently easier to make the subsidies continue forever than to consider growing alternatives.
It's probably fallen out of favor, but I saw it a lot around the same time the OP was written, late-2000s, early 2010s.

Look, this is the paragraph we are discussing:

> Be Defensive - They're out to Get Your Code! - Defensively assert about the state of parameters passed in methods, constructors, and mid-method. If someone can pass in a null, you've left your guard down. You see, there are testing freaks out there that like to instantiate your object, or call a method under test and pass in nulls! Be aggressive in preventing this: rule your code with an iron fist! (And remember: it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.)

In which way am I misrepresenting it?
Totally agree. It’s wonderful to be able to “take a break” from a professional task by taking care of a personal task of a different nature. For example, being able to do the laundry while you take a moment to think about the tradeoffs of a design decision
I'm fascinated by browser tab hoarding...

I recently started using a bookmarking app (one of the many, so many) because there were often one or two lingering tabs that I didn't want to close, and it was interfering with the way I normally clean up my screen. Normally, I close the entire browser and start fresh two or three times a day, during the workday. At night I turn the computer off, and start with a blank desktop the next morning.
