Ask HN: Recommended Router for Home Office
I am trying to be prepared for the eventual failure of my older Apple Time Capsule. It has been a pretty good router, done most of what I asked and functioned as a steadfast device for almost a decade. I don't foresee it breaking, but I would like to be prepared for the future. I am looking for router suggestions that have the following features:

1) No Wifi needed, I have a separate AP for that.

2) Have 1-2 2.5 Gb ports that don't require link aggregation if possible. One of my future goes is to try and get a home NAS that is capable of doing 2.5Gb.

3) Have 1-2 SFP+ ports so that I can connect a switch or two. Another future goal is to connect a couple of switches, one with PoE+ and one without, though I will admit this may not be necessary if I am not going the 10 Gb route which I am on the fence on.

4) Allow for 5-10 port forward entries and at least 20-30 MAC address reservations.

5) Rack mountable

I have been leaning towards MicroTik, in particular their new RB5009UG+S+IN

https://mikrotik.com/product/rb5009ug_s_in

However, I have no experience using their router OS and if it will provide the options I am looking for. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thank you!
> Elon has seen the same balance sheet and he thinks the true value of the company is higher than what it is now as well.

Up to you to take him at his word however he has stated otherwise.

"It's important to the function of democracy, it's important to the function of the united states as a free country and on many other countries and actually to help freedom in the world more broadly than the US.

You know I think this there's the risk, civilizational risk, uh is decreased if twitter, the more we can increase the trust of twitter as a public platform and so I do think this will be somewhat painful and I'm not sure that I will actually be able to to acquire it.

I mean I could technically afford it um what I'm saying is this is not a way to sort of make money you know..

It's just that I think, my strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization"

They form a key part of Wiles' proof of Fermat's Last Theorem as well as in efforts to unify very disparate parts of mathematics, they aren't just for cryptography.
Others also seem to think I am pointing out some secret feature. None of this is a secret, just not obvious to people who didn't think to look for it. Defaults matter.
yes indeed, this is what I ended with ... now no more 500 errors / timeouts, and the sites seems a lot faster for TTFB

> That said, as far as I can tell it's a very unevenly distributed disaster.

I think this is one of the big issues with covid overall, especially how we discuss it over the internet. It is very possible that there is a person where everyone they know around them got covid as well as another person may only know one or two people who got it and only had mild cases. There's an extremely disproportionate distribution when it comes to things like viruses but I think our natural tendency is to believe things are more uniform.

Also, I am highly confused by China's zero coivd policy. Just by the nature of how viruses work, that seems impossible. Even zero deaths. I understand the want to minimize (especially in an area with high population densities), but zero is an impossible number.
I've nearly drowned, been hung by the neck, threatened with a knife, jumped by a gang, strangled to unconsciousness, been stuck in a hole and almost fallen off a few cliffs. An anxiety reaction feels nearly identical to a near death experience except it lasts way longer and there is no point where you escape to safety.

However, I think the near death experiences were worse because they would cause even more anxiety later. I still freak out near knives and hate when anyone comes up behind me. People touching my neck will send me off kicking and screaming.
Is that really the simplest explanation?

Or is the simplest explanation that they're not lying and they do what they say they do?
If you're gambling with your stock, under what circumstances would you not take a massive 20% ROI and turn it over into a new stock?

In my opinion, the real reason behind the board's decision is ideological. If Someone with their ideology made the same offer, I'd bet big that they'd be announcing their acceptance and talking about the bright future for the company.

Screwing your shareholders over for ideology would not sit well with a jury. I'd love for them to go to discovery over this and see what the board REALLY said.
The whole thing read like a humble brag... "As a powerlifter, I workout 4-6 days per week", " I would have the third-highest new offer on Levels out of over 200 offers on their site" .. .etc.
There's a "pipe slide" model of the kuro toga that will slide the pipe with the writing so only a little bit of lead is exposed at all times.

I just found the Min browser, if you’re on Mac it has great UI for staying focused. Not showing frequently visited sites when I open a new tab helps a lot. Less clutter in general also helps.

This is practical, but ultimately not the best advice, the OP already has a lot of time and potentially money sunk into this endeavor and should at least ascertain their position before making rash moves.

Your advice works well before engagement.

As a person who was there in Ukraine in 2004, and in 2013-14, as a somewhat neutral observer of Orange Revolution and Euromaidan, the first paragraph already throws you an Oliver Stone -level propaganda jab. Everyone in Ukraine was well aware what political party was supported by the West or by Russia. To say that pro-western and anti-Russia attitude in Ukraine was fabricated by the West is a bit of a stretch, to say the least.

This article plays the favorite game of Russian apologists — engage in bad faith with any pro-Ukrainian argument, and in good faith with any Russian one.

It fails to account for Russian troops in Crimea (when discussing 2014 referendum), it fails to account for Russian influence in Ukrainian politics (billions of funding) and of course there is no agency of Ukrainian people, only NATO and Russia.

And of course “US invited an invasion [of Ukraine]”, sure, lets find a more apologetic way of saying “Putin invaded Ukraine”.

Nah. It's in society's interest to keep confidence in the markets up, because that's how you maximize total resources available for investment and economic growth. That confidence requires vigorous protection of investors, including the ones that think they're too smart to need protection.

It's no coincidence that the US has strong enforcement and is also a top international destination for investment. If anything the SEC and the CFTC should be more vigorous, and I'm happy to pay to support them.

If you personally really are too smart to need protection, they broadened the accredited investor definition last year, so there are a variety of ways to meet it: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/general-reso...
Couldn't `mv` or `cp` from the temp file to `/etc/passwd` be interrupted as well? I think the only way to do it atomically is a temporary file on the same filesystem as `/etc`, followed by a rename. On most systems `/tmp` will be a different filesystem from `/etc`.
If you don't want anyone knowing who you are you're stuck using only public wifi anyway. Who cares if they build a profile around a piece of hardware? As long as they can't link it to a real human it's not really an issue.
If your long term state depends upon ephemeral, non-persisted, data then you're hosed if you ever have to restart anyways. If anything brings that server down, you lose current-count as well, whether it's to change out the definition of handle-request or a power outage. So current-count must not be a useful (long term) value worth persisting or the above program is broken from the start.

In the former case (it's useless) the stop-the-world-and-restart approach doesn't hurt anything, in the latter you would need to fix the program anyways.
When I read about the founder and their privacy policy, I get the impression that this is something they care about.

At the same time, as far as I know there has been no independent audit. Considering they made over 100 million in 2020, they clearly have the finances to fund an independent audit. It would also improve their reputation and clear up some of the uncertainty about their collection of user data in practice

Even better (but more unlikely): they could open source the search engine so we all can audit them.

Here’s the sad reality

Admin controls the money

They spend 99% of it on tools they use for their own jobs

The 1% is whatever fad they are supposed to buy into in order to maintain a semblance of legitimacy (“student success” for example)

If you want to make money in education

Get your state legislators to pass a law that requires schools to comply with a new regulation that makes your solution relevant

That’s how the big edtech companies got to $1B+, with only one exception: 2U
I used to work on the tech side of finance too. The hedge fund where I worked had a number of PIPE related violations where they ended up eventually settling and paying a fine without admitting guilt. For them it was just the cost of doing business. Breaking the rule and profiting minus the cost of the fines would just be a "good trade" to them.
> I'm on good terms with the founders and I think it is possible to renogatiate this

You don't need to renegotiate anything. Simply hold them to the terms that were originally promised.
For sure! Sharing the road is important.
Twitter’s speech moderation policies should be public, and all decisions pertaining to speech should be public, and there should be a public appeals process before a jury of the speaker’s peers.
The official position was not that the average mask worn by the public was useless, but that masks were. If a doctor suggested a properly fitted n95 protects against covid they would have been spreading information that was contrary to the the governments position.

I am not sure the purpose of your link. The WHO was very slow in accepting the virus is airborne. Surely that should show that doctors who are against the authorities are sometimes correct and by removing their license you would be in the wrong.
Wait, you're 2 years in, and you signed a contract to a different vesting schedule? This is setting off alarms in my head. Your equity rights are part of your comp., and what is earned in a prior agreement that was signed when you started cannot just be made contingent again by adding new requirements. At least not in the USA. I'd get a legal consult ASAP.
Agreed. The results I get for that query seem very relevant and created by people.
>Wuhan police summoned and admonished him on 3 January

And? China notified WHO and US CDC about the new virus at the end of December: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_COVID-19_pande...

>"making false comments on the Internet about unconfirmed SARS outbreak.""

And he was making false comment. He was an eye doctor and he was telling people in his WeChat group that the original SARS came back.

>Sure. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/31/a-man-lies-dea...

Did you not read that article?

"AFP could not determine how the man, who appeared to be aged in his 60s, had died."

The guy literally had a shopping bag in his hand. Wuhan is a city of 10 million people, how many do you think dies from stroke or heart attacks each day?

Or it could be Covid, in which the only known case of making people drop dead while on a shopping trip is somehow captured by this reporter.
Why is it seemingly localized to the UK though? If it’s covid related, I guess it could be like one specific strain causing it or something. But it seems more likely to me that it ends up being some sort of contaminated product. I got some tainted supplements on Amazon and they messed my liver levels up for a few months. Luckily I caught it early enough.
I don't really trust China's numbers, but I'll agree that they've been much better than the US'. That said, while the Zero COVID policy was generally good and successful until recently, it no longer appears to be working, and efforts to continue it are increasingly harmful.

If they're using the time to rapidly address their bafflingly low vaccination rates, then maybe it will prove worthwhile, but otherwise I don't see how it would be at this point. ("Baffling" because I understand why the US isn't more forceful in pushing the vaccine, but don't understand why China hasn't pushed their own rates to near 100%.)
I highly recommend getting the kuro toga pipe slide. The pipe slides up to protect the lead as you're writing, but you still get the clutch mechanism that rotates the lead.

They're available on amazon for not a huge amount of money:

> That's not always legal, but it would help the interests of shareholders.

Except the guy at 19.9% trying to move up. Considering he has already invested quite a lot of money on the company, shouldn't the board also work for him ?

Why should he be treated differently and his share give him different "rights" than others people share ?
People have been proclaiming that for years. “Just wait, Apple will only let you install their software on their machines. It’s going to happen soon. Anytime.”
The real title is "Russian warship sinks; Ukraine says its missile is responsible"...
So the doctors recommending masks should be disbarred?
I mean, yeah I can see that. That's an analogy you can make.

How did the administration force a private company to make a choice here? I'm not following that part.
It's not whataboutism. Windows has a ton features spanning decades and privacy was never a priority given their paying customers' priority. Linux on the other hand was made by individuals and allows a lot more control and input from users. If privacy is your priority then Linux wind the race. If managable corporate workstation is your priority then windows wins the race.
> A simple visit to the Wikipedia article on Covid timeline showed that to be false.

It does not?

The topic of discussion is Elon Musk trying to purchase Twitter, which is very much at the intersection of finance and culture war.
I thought the same thing. What's wrong with this approach?

In the eyes of some of those in power, youtube-dl is "malware".
Ha. I have a similar story with chemistry/spectroscopy and representation theory.

I was taking a chemistry class where we were learning by rote how to apply the Grand Orthogonality Theorem. We were clearly computing inner products, but I couldn't suss out the big picture and the chem professor didn't know either, so I went to the math department and joined a seminar, which happened to be almost nextdoor to the chemistry class. The professor teaching it had never heard of the applications to chemistry/spectroscopy, though he was delighted to find out.

Not 30 yards apart, two groups of people were approaching the same subject from opposite angles with zero awareness of each other.

Silos are amazing.
All of this is possible, but the reality is: Twitter is a 16 year old company that has changed imperceptibly since its inception. Elon has several polls over the past month, voted on by literally over 3M people, vehemently disagreeing with some of the policies Twitter holds dear. Their revenue is flat and down. They literally had a chokehold on global politics during the Trump era, and did nothing with it toward building a better business, or even a better social network.

Their board can believe all they want. But they're failing, miserably. Elon isn't perfect, but at least he doesn't have a demonstrated history of driving his companies' value into the basement, like Twitter's leadership does. This move by their board serves no-one but them; it doesn't serve Twitter's users, it doesn't serve their customers (advertisers), it doesn't even serve the vast majority of shareholders (which will be evidenced by an unprecedented sell-off on Monday).

Goldman advised them to block the purchase, because $52/share was too high, while simultaneously holding a $30 sell benchmark on TWTR. Its not even ironic that this is where Twitter's stock is going; its what they predicted, and then caused. The idiots in the room are the Twitter board, who actually believed the advice was given in good faith.
The UK historically has lots of roundabouts, the design guidelines are here : https://www.google.com/url?q=https://trl.co.uk/uploads/trl/d...

Basically they recommend 28m diameter if you are going to have a central island, otherwise it should be a mini-roundabout (capable of being driven over)
Wait, you seriously think Elon is buying Twitter out of his good heart to "protect" the healthy functioning of democracy?

Maybe automatic update, but entirely?
So where does one from here for everyday search? Google is out. Bing has many of the same problems as Google. Startpage blocks my VPN. Brave has always felt just a little "off" to me, but maybe they're worth a try. Any others I've missed that are worth looking into?
Nothing. It is however usual for provocateurs expect a reaction from their provocateering - because otherwise, what's the point? So it's not obvious why you're not leaning back in your comfy chair with a nice glass of whiskey and a cigar, smiling to yourself at the downvotes and the shadow ban. Another job well done!

Not my area but you hear about but flips due to cosmic rays, and I've heard of mainframes that run everything on two cpus as a form or error correction. I think your point stands, just pointing out that there are occasional errors in cpus
Being the FT, the article is written from a UK perspective but not entirely. Does not look like you read it, and I am only using it as an example of my rationale.

I will post here some partial quotes and you can read the rest if you are interested.

"...Shareholders own the corporation, and the duty of the directors to maximise shareholder value follows from that. I have lost count of the number of times I have been told “that is the law”. But it is not the law. Certainly not in America, as Lynn Stout, a professor at Cornell University Law School, has pointed out..."

"...Shareholders in England have more rights — but even there, the obligation
of a company director is to promote the success of the company for the benefit
of the members. The company comes first, the benefit to the members
follows from its success. And English shareholders are definitely not owners.
The Court of Appeal declared in 1948 that “shareholders are not,
in the eyes of the law, part owners of the company”. In 2003,
the House of Lords reaffirmed that ruling, in un­equivocal terms..."

"...Ownership is not a simple concept..."

"...But shares give their holders no right of possession and no
right of use. If shareholders go to the company premises, they will
more likely than not be turned away..."

"...Shareholders do not have the right to manage the company in which they
hold an interest, and even their right to appoint the people who do is
largely theoretical. They are entitled only to such part of the income
as the directors declare as dividends, and have no right to the proceeds
of the sale of corporate assets — except in the event of the liquidation
of the entire company, in which case they will get what is left;
not much, as a rule..."
If you reduce the search space of 2 bit keys by 99% then there there are only 0.04 keys left. That's too small to find a single key, not too large.
I don't see how it's a non-starter. DDG is still a better search engine than bing, if for no other reason than bangs. If a censored search engine is the non-starter then every well-known search engine is a non-starter.

Maybe that's the real problem. There have been some recent articles on HN about how "search is broken" and maybe this article falls under that. Because what really gets me is that there is plenty of legit content on "pirate sites" and blocking them completely cuts off that content.
Python ecosystem, say Pytest, doesn’t follow Python zen either. It has implicit magic all over the place. String parsing from function names, the entire concept of fixtures is exact opposite of “explicit is better than implicit”.

It’s a valid concern and many folks have raised it here on threads concerning this topic.

The short answer is yes: beyond mannitol, niacin, and even bespoke substances designed to mimic the organoleptic properties of ayahuasca have been used effectively as placebos.

At modest dosages (above the threshold of perception but within the therapeutic window) the side effects can be surprisingly similar in the general population, and thus difficult to distinguish for the average joe.

Of course studies vary widely in quality and rigor, so one must critique experimental design on a case by case basis.
