It is interesting. If the indexer is being imported, it's also not "from scratch", at all. The two are not mutually exclusive.

I'm sure Mikrotik gear is on plenty of HN (and /r/homelab, et al.) members' home network. It's the budget end of 'serious gear' so there's a decent amount of it in homes, probably rivals (the totally different demographic buying) gamer-marketed consumer network gear.
I don’t think developers write code in VMs. I use vagrant and mount folders as needed between the host and the guest.
I can replicate it in Firefox for Android, as stated it's due to the math figures being too rigid (which subsequently overflows).
This seems surprisingly far down the list of what SEC's priorities should be. A million dollar fraud when there are almost certainly billion dollar frauds ongoing.

One theory for going after small fish is that fraudsters often start small and get bigger and more sophisticated (and harder to catch). Therefore, it's good to nail them early and signal to other junior fraudsters that they're not underneath the radar.

It'd be interesting to take famous big-time fraudsters and work backwards to the very first crime they got away with. And reckon how much time and resources could've been saved if they'd caught them then.
Sure. The best type of types - the ones you can choose when to use.
This doesn’t make any sense.

Such activities would be criminal regardless of insider trading. What difference could it possibly make if insider trading was legal?

Should we maybe add more laws to forbid such activity in different creative ways, so instead of being doubly illegal it would be triply illegal?

Crazy.

I understand their reason for suspending SAT was COVID-19:

so it makes sense with the removal of most COVID limitations they will also go back to the old system?
I have a hard time seeing US standardized testing as "better." All of my Korean peers who have studied for the CSAT or Suneung laugh at how easy the SAT/ACT math section is in comparison. K-12 education in the US is years behind at this point from many Asian countries. The fact that we are debating whether standardized testing for colleges and prestigious high schools (Lowell in SF, Stuyvesant in NYC, etc) should be banned is just laughable and only sets us further back.
The joke as presented here doesn’t work at all due to the emperor addressing him as “young man,” which makes it impossible to avoid the interpretation that the emperor is concerned that he himself could be the father of the young man.

I likewise had a similar experience on the other side of the Atlantic with British universities. The goal for top achievers was always Oxford, Cambridge, or Imperial. I ended up significantly under-achieving on the grades my mock exams and teachers predicted, and went to a less prestigious institution, which used to be a Polytechnic. However, this gave me such an appreciation for the North of England that I would have never experienced otherwise, and a group of friends a league different from the ones I grew up with in the South, that I wouldn't trade for the world. It probably worked out well too because I got a relatively pain-free 1st grade (4.0 GPA) when I know full well that with my ability and work ethic I would have got a low 2.1 or 2.2 at where I planned to go.

All the same, finding a decent job after was a slog, and required me to go back to do a postgraduate degree at a Russel group (Ivy League equivalent) university to get a seat at the table with any major tech company. I'd like to earn more, but finance firms and most unicorn start-ups demand Oxbridge so I'll probably consider an MSc or MPhil at one of the two some time in the future, but that'll be 7 years of schooling for £80k, when I could have done it in 4 years for half that cost. All in all, it's what would have been a retirement at 40 to one at 50, which while not the end of the world is a little frustrating.

Do you have a source for this?
Right? I assume tech support lines will soon force customers through "turkstations"; you'll need to solve a few captchas or maybe resolve a few support tickets for others before someone does the same for you. In-browser coin mining while you hold and you don't come off hold until hitting the minimum is a "great" way to let people with better computers (and therefore are more likely better paying or better able to pay) jump the queue. Microtransaction to outsource jobs or offset cost of support is somewhere on the chain of next logical steps.

I can only imagine how upsetting this must be for you and your family. I just hope that after you’ve had some time to process, that your son finds a way forward that brings him closer to the future he wants for himself. Just a bit of unsolicited advice from an internet stranger, but describing the situation as a “complete disaster for his future”, even if not expressed directly to your son, runs the risk of becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. Transfers, grad school, good job placements/pivots, a gap year, are all options.

Saying "stars that are further away are more redshifted" is Hubble's law and leads almost directly to the big bang. It alone, however, does not explain the paradox. For example even with red shifting, you could have a bright night sky if there are infinitely many stars and the speed of light is instantaneous.
They are exporters but to countries that they mostly have good relationships with. There is little to no export into Europe or the US BUT Russia imports most of it's seeds from Europe. These seeds are one time seeds that means you are not able to seed again from the upspring of them. The seeds for this years seeding have not yet been provided. They will suffer even harder because they will compromise their soil by simply not being able to provide a proper rotation. For the west this is more a logistics problem than anything else other countries can and will pick up the pace on fertilizer and grain production. Russia can not yet provide enough seeds on their own and they will still export grain to their allies as they did before the sanctions. China has build up a pretty big reserve on grain and corn over the last past years and they will have to provide poor countries that would be hit by the production shortages to prevent their investment ie. in Africa in the last decade getting nullified. It's really not that big of a problem everyone wants to make it out to be and it will be worse for Russia than for the rest of the world. Russia will have the biggest problem on secondary fruits like potatoes and sugar beet that they will have to import in exchange for a higher export of an increased grain production. We will see an increase in prizes but there will be no shortages of oil or flour in your grocery shop next door except through the influence of hoarding in the beginning.

These are good articles about their problems with producing seeds

Yeah.... no.

Number of stupid mistakes on a test is not indicative of success at MIT. I was lucky in that I test well from having competed in different math contests, but I don't confuse that with being better. If I didn't compete in those, I would have been no less qualified.

The article is spot-on. MIT ignores test scores above some threshold. That's a reasonable way to go.
Cheaper than AWS ?

I used Scaleway. They don't offer the hyperscale that AWS does but you don't need that for a side project. Just get started then if you suddenly have 100,000 users then switch to something like AWS. Also there are no hidden costs it's like $2 a month for a tiny little server to get you started.

You'll find that's enough.

Isn't it one of the most downloaded apps? Some would say that makes it a good app. I guess your definition can vary but my point is that your criteria clearly does not matter to a large number of users.
I wouldn't say you can "depend on" power corrupting parents. I'd say it's more the exception, and that parental behavior is better described by how they themselves were raised. By the time a misbehaving kid is in their teens, parents are grasping at straws trying to figure out what to do. They need training, not condemnation.
Yeah, there's some truth to that because she applied to Oxford earlier this year, before she got the SAT results and she got to the interview having passed the academic requirements with mainly the five APs of 5. Still, I think the SAT results proved it to her in a way that wasn't ambiguous.

You are completely right. Let me rephrase things a bit so it's more clear!
In all honesty, I don’t think the author correctly identified his error. And I think that’s a shame. It’s right here:

> Here I was, living the Silicon Valley dream: making the world a better place through technology.

I don’t know how this has become a thing people believe, however widely it might be believed. But if it’s representative of SV or tech innovation at all, it’s either wildly distorted through a wealthy person’s pet futurism project—or held in the imagination of someone aspiring to that stature. SV is about making money, that’s it, that’s the whole story.

The totally overlapping error here was assuming those things—making the world better, and making money—aren’t inherently in conflict. And overlapping that: assuming that a profit driven health care system has altruistic goals as such, rather than in concert with its profit-driving priorities.

This project could have been successful (and could still do if the author or anyone else wants to pursue it). And it could have been a valuable contribution to society.

The author would probably have realized this error if he’d considered entering a global market where health care has different economic incentives. Programs like this which help people are funded by government contracts and grants, not by payment from arbitrary people acting on their arbitrary interests.
You're mixing a lot of things.

Creative jobs, whether journalism, acting, writing, music, etc. have always been a difficult business.

Creator economy is no different than the poor musicians 30 years ago.

The fall of unions and rise of gig economy is more concerning. But unrelated to entertainment industry, which has always been insecure/underpaid/risky..

Side note: when I heard how taxies used to be rented on per-day basis by the driver, I'll admit I became less sure the gig economy was a step down.
I most certainly did, eatonphil's articles are always cool, in fact I wonder if he has a mailing list?

Anyhow, importing the indexer disqualifies the "from scratch" quality.

This doesn't mean there's anything wrong with importing it, only calling it "from nothing" when this isn't the case. Such language sets improper expectations in the reader and may even reduce reader engagement, since article content diverges from what the title claimed to offer.

Per-tenant rate/resource limits. There's no magic solution here really. You need to implement the limits either at the data store side if possible, add a limits-aware proxy if not, or enforce that all clients respect some shared limits system.
It could be, depending on the field you choose, but that’s not particularly relevant to what college you’ll do well at.
Part of the reason Slack culture is hugely variable as organizations change is precisely because there are few easily available, broadly understood default tools to reduce that variability.

One could say the same for code style - it's hugely variable as more people come onto the team, but with linters a particular standardization of style can be followed.

My post is basically asking: what if we had etiquette linters?
At least here in the US, test prep isn't actually effective at increasing test scores. The SATs were introduced in order to allow kids of lesser economic backgrounds to get access to prestigious colleges without having to go to expensive preparatory schools. And they have been largely successful in that regard.

The problem in the US is that, for political reasons, colleges have been trying to get away from standardized tests.

The surprising thing is that they had to resort to insider information to know that a communications platform company would do well during a Pandemic when everyone is working from home.
Good enforcement isnt impossible. Improbable, yes.

Every trade has to be disclosed. There isn't a block-chain involved, but their is an e-paper trail. We are on a technology forum in a time where ten people could probably put together a domain model that tracks potential conflicts based on peoples trades, google contacts, and linkedin profile. And any person who traded on insider information in the past probably leaves a pattern.
They probably don't want to push down the price of their work
To be a developer you don't even need to go to university. I know a lot of valid developers with a technical high school diploma, and I see that most of the time are better than a lot of people with a degree (or even a master degree).

To this days to be a developer university must be seen just as something extra that you do if you want to occupy positions that goes beyond being a simple programmer.
No, but at that point you are building a router anyway, so you might as well run the router software on the host directly instead of on the SBC host inside the main host.

Keep in mind that most routers are just computers too. Sometimes they are low-power computers with special hardware components to offload specific tasks so you can trade power for specialisation (which also comes with a rigidity trade-off, you can't change the hardware after the fact like for new protocols).
@eff could use a link to this OP.
If your goal is to be a code monkey writing database-backed web applications, MIT is probably a very expensive way to get there.

The goal of the degree is to prepare people for data analysis, machine vision, 3d graphics, ML, signal processing, and similar. If you're not into that, going to MIT is wasteful for everyone involved.

That's not elitism talking; that's just the nature of MIT. Other schools aren't like that. For example, if you want to do a startup around a database-backed web application, Stanford is a fine choice. I'm not arguing Stanford is either better or worse; it's just a little bit less academic and little bit more entrepreneurial. There are other schools which emphasize other things. Harvard or Yale will move you more into the class of powerful people. Etc.
There's something sad about "you tried to make the world better, make it a non-profit. And go back to cryptoscams to make money."

Yeah some stuff hasn't been migrated yet but it's pretty rare in my limited experience.

Regarding your devil's advocate example, it's obvious a power user (i.e. tax pro) will have different needs than a layman like me, and it's clear that the sites are built for the latter, which makes way more sense as that's like 99.999% of the users anyways. The power users are probably so rare that just forcing them to phone in makes sense.
Great deep dive!
Alternately, defaults really really matter. Of 100 teams that adopt Slack, only a fraction will know about, let alone enable, let alone write custom bots.

If you're in a position like Slack where you have control over defaults, small changes like the introduction of some default etiquette options that orgs can adopt can have massive leverage in improving comms, which ultimately would benefit the product and users.
I was moderately excited when I saw the photos, but wow those prices! 900 € for a 13 inch screen? For comparison, you can get a 55" Samsung Frame TV for cheaper than that. Digital photo frames are under $100.

And you can turn the compression way up to where it is very expensive but gives much better space savings.

I enjoyed reading this and I largely agree with the sentiment. However I don't believe in binaries ... reality implies nuance. Sure, if you look at the vast majority of commercial news outlets, the firehose, it's easy to make broad generalisations around worth, trust, etc. But there exist many news sources that don't fall neatly into this category. News may be piecemeal, but the outcome of taking on the tidbits, these seemingly disparate but (for many of us) carefully collected and ultimately connected pieces of information, shouldn't be underestimated. Having people -- not all, but some -- informed beyond your local neighbourhood, beyond a local sphere of knowledge, is critical in making informed decisions about your own life and your contribution for further generations. If this is your way. Without it we're just leaves in the wind of greed and corruption.
The difference is public vs. non-public information. Doing something like counting cars in retailers parking lots is something any investor could do (or pay someone else to do). Trading using trends from non-public credit card transaction data isn't something that any "general public" investor could do on their own.

Also note this is about buying and selling securities, not selling consumer data for marketing purposes.
Sorry, no, I haven't come across any information on Soviet systems.
China has already broken the status quo as it does not engage in free trade on the same level as the West. It continuously engages in massive unreciprocated protectionism, IP theft, and hacking against foreign companies.

It also repeatedly antagonizes liberal democratic values that citizens of the current hegemony hold dear as it pursues dissidents abroad (Operation Foxhunt) and organizes economic retaliation against foreign companies and celebrities and countries (like Lithuania) that just speak out against China's government policy. China openly threatens the independence and freedom of a liberal democracy called Taiwan. Such openly expansionist ambitions, threats to free speech, and support of neighboring imperial ambitions (ie. Russia) undermines the very foundation of global free trade, liberal democratic values cannot be completely separated from global trade.

The status quo isn't just "globalization". Europe and North America and South Asia has global trade tensions but they never rise to the level of China's antagonism. The mere existence of global trade does not make China a genuinely cooperative player.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught me anything about science, it's that if you do a "meta-analysis" without reading each paper carefully and critically, you can end up proving anything regardless of its veracity. You cannot replace domain-expert scientists spending huge amounts of time painstakingly going over every detail of many papers to weed out mistakes and fraud in order to write a meta-analysis, with a computer program. Well, at least not until we figure out AGI. Until then, it would be irresponsible to rely on such a program for any clinical decisions.

U MN has acceptance rate of 70%. Your son is probably more brilliant than most people who go to U MN. The hell with them and their shitty admission process. They don't deserve him.

Like others have said, he should re-apply / transfer. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but this might actually be blessing in disguise because many kids don't get to experience setback in life until too late.

Yet, this one is something he can easily overcome because he's brilliant and has supportive family. He just got super unlucky. Just need to play the game one more time to win.

Best of luck.
