Ask HN: I have a squad of scrapers. What datasets should we build?
Marriage records, hospital prices, property sales forms, etc. A lot of this data is out there, but spread out in so many databases that comparison and analysis is impossible.

I have a marketing budget that can easily pay for scrapers, and I'm wondering what datasets you'd like to see built/collated.

They actually don't.

Some politician (a Trump and Putin supporter, BTW!) tried to make them drawn for political gains and was beaten by a German young Captain Woman. [1]

many people in Europe protested against what Salvini was doing. [2] [3] [4]

France officially condemned what was happening.

Because you know, it's not a dictatorship here or a place where the police kills you if you're of the wrong color, the people still oppose to what Politicians and governments try to do.

Please, don't try to teach me how my country works...

Accounting firms have rules like this that they take very seriously. They will force you and your family to get rid of certain stocks if the firm has a relationship with the company. It's seen as normal and reasonable.

Congress and their families should absolutely be barred from owning individual stocks and certain other assets.

I would even extend that to parents, but estate taxes strong enough to deter misbehavior in this area might be a better solution.
Ignore that! I mean I do hope Electron one day adds performance tuning knobs, to disable some browser behaviours so you as

Ok what if someone did sneak some non-CSAM? Some random person would get flagged, the photos would be manually reviewed, and then nothing bad would happen. Doesn’t seem like a very big deal.
You have to just ignore software moralizers like that; people who have goals other than solving problems for users in a cost effective way. They aren't common, they're just really loud. There's a reason Electron is incredibly popular and it's not because the developers are stupid or careless.

It's multi-collateralized, so backed by crypto, but also backed by crypto that is backed by actual paper (ie. USDC counterparty risk) and is overcollateralized (so the backing is more than how much $ DAI there is by a substantial margin - ~166%). It has a number of additional clever tricks to keep the peg (burning MKR, etc.), but unlike Terra is not only clever tricks.
> And some people change their character 180 degrees when they are drunk. Not sure how to defend against that, though.

maybe not letting people coming to work drunk? Or forbidding drinking while at work?
IT's actually that the other 80% never existed at all.
It seems wierd to me where society has gone. In my dad's high school, they literally brought rifles to school. There was a gun range at the school. Yes, it had to be bagged up and unloaded but you literally brought a 22 with rounds to school.

My era? Zero tolerance for mean words. I got suspended 1 day because I told people I got a highlighter. They thought I said lighter and tattled on me. Teachers never found the lighter but I was suspended no less. I got suspended once because a friend of mine was planning to come to my house after school. Asked me to carry his bag. Unbeknowst to me he was running off to try to get into a fight off school premises. Never actually got into a fight. But I was suspended for zero tolerance helping/assisting a fight.

Now we are in the era where schools have metal detectors, police on staff and actively walking around in the schools, and harassing people over literally nothing.

It's interesting to me. Obviously lots of science have determined all of this was bad. https://supportiveschooldiscipline.org/zero-tolerance-policy

But instead of admitting there was a mistake... they just doubled down on bad policies? Idiots.
>but even now, in elementary school, they require entire lesson units in school on telling time from a clock face.

I'd say that's a failure to teach them analog time as toddlers, not digital time being inherently superior.
The power that the same old rights afford is increasing, because you don't have to leave your house to do some very nefarious stuff and encrypted communication is now a commodity. Any right to privacy meant relatively less in a world where entering a stone building and bringing guns was considered the premiere way to obtain money illegally, because (and I guess it speaks volumes about this whole thread that I feel the need to spell it out) you had to give up a good amount of your privacy by executing anything in that plan. That's often no longer the case.
Nothing about this surprises me. Google is an engineering driven organization that has no idea how to utilize PMs properly and where being the “smartest person in the room” is incentivized so there’s little to no humility and curiosity and it’s more about individual “winning” than best outcomes for customers; if you operate in a mutual learning way you’ll just have worse but more aggressive/ambitious people end run around you. These things are fixable (and there are some pockets in the company that don’t have these pathologies) but there seems to be little interest in doing so company wide.

But maybe I’m just a disgruntled ex-employee who prefers a Satya Nadella to a Sundar Pichai.
> Now that's the actual con, or at least a pipe dream. Hard work is never enough.

This seems like a bad faith, intentional misunderstanding of the concept of hard work. You're right, mindless hard work (with no proactive consideration for your own life trajectory) is not enough to "make it". If you take the first minimum wage job you find and you work hard at that job for 40 years, you're not going to make it. That doesn't invalidate the American Dream. The American Dream isn't "if you work hard, the American Dream fairy will appear and present you with a house, a car and a white picket fence", it's "if you work hard at making it, you can quite easily make it". This presupposes that a given worker will take responsibility for their ability to earn, and be willing to course correct if they are not on a good path toward "making it".

> Luck plays a huge factor but few who get lucky, and then rich, will ever admit to that part.

Nonsense. The goal of the American Dream was never to be Jeff Bezos. It was to live a comfortable life. In that sense, the American Dream is being realized by the vast majority of Americans every day. The median income of a middle-class household in this country is 78K,[0] which puts them in the ~94th percentile in global income.[1]

But calling 70 people to get 70 new advertisers is OK, or if it's early days 70 people who can get you some traffic.
Not so much lucky as planned; they were sent to PBI because it had a long runway. Also you don't pitch to reduce speed, you reduce power to reduce speed. Then pitch up to maintain glide slope and altitude. That's how you land if you have a feel for it but for someone inexperienced there's the risk they too slow, pitch too far up, and stall. Better to come in a little fast if you have the runway.
How would that actually happen?
By that reasoning every program written to run on MS-DOS was a "derived work" of MS-DOS. Such programs were written with MS-DOS in mind, and often mucked around with fundamental internal MS-DOS behavior.

Same with pre-OS X Mac. Most Mac programs were written with Mac in mind, and it was not uncommon for programs mucked around with OS code and data.

What matters is how copyright law defines derivative work, and in the US that has nothing to do with whether or not your work was written with another work in mind or plays with fundamental internal behavior of another work. What matters is whether or not it incorporates copyrighted elements of another work.

> It is much easier for lobbyists with deep pockets to influence policies on the continent

That's not how things go, in fact that's very opposite of how things go

"I once asked Rupert Murdoch why he was so opposed to the European Union. 'That’s easy,' he replied. 'When I go into Downing Street they do what I say; when I go to Brussels they take no notice.'"

So, no, you're wrong about how easy it is. And where the fault lies.
Exactly the same thing happened to me (though not with BitBucket) - I'm glad you too were able to find relief!
A long time ago while implementing the checkout page for an e-commerce site that's written as single-page application, we run into problem where, if the user goes to a 3rd party site to authorize payment method, we need to restore the checkout state. One approach that did not work for us is to store the state in session storage, because we do not know exactly when we should unset this state. The solution we took was to base64-serialize the state, gzip this (so that it does not exceed the browser's URL limit), and save it to the URL as query parameter. We used the History API to replace the URL whenever the local state changes, we write it there at URL. That way, if user goes to 3rd party site, we can specify the current full URL as the callback URL after the payment method is authorized.

A side effect of this is that if user decided to abandon our site at checkout page, they are able to go back using browser navigation with state fully restored.
was just going to mention that prenups really no longer carry the weight that people think it does. For 2 years, whether you are married or not, exposes you to the same liability a married individual would face in the event of a break up here in BC which is crazy.

> Couples who have been living together for two years share the same legal rights as married couples in BC, including a 50/50 split of debts and assets—excluding pre-relationship property, inheritances and gifts.

With a rate of 40% for divorce, a pre-nup may no longer be just for marrying couples, it may be needed for any relationship where cohabiting occurs. Also, there is absolutely no chance the judge will side with the men in places known.

Wow, another neat Cloudflare release. Is there some sort of "innovation week" type thing going on right now?

One question that the example given raises for me, is how to manage that function I see there in a robust, "proper software engineering" sort of way. This has been a challenge for me on AWS when trying out Lambdas. The individual pieces are cool, but the system that connects them all together is a little opaque. How do you version control the code? How do you keep track of which pieces work with which other pieces?

We use terraform to manage the AWS resources, but it's kind of clunky, and not official. Is there some Cloudflare-supported way to maybe declaratively define your different resources?

Someone who has built a somewhat complex app with a lot of workers, and durable objects, and different pieces of the ecosystem: how do you manage that? How do people review changes?

Since it sounds like from another comment that Cloudflare dogfoods its own services internally, I'm curious if there's a write-up about how they actually do so? The little function code snippets give a nice taste of the code a worker might run, but that's still kind of a long way clearing up for me how you would actually use this in practice in a standard production environment.
It's still continuous, as even when fully ticking, it still goes from point a to b passing through all the in between points... well, up to planck length at least...

Ticking just makes the motion jerky/abrupt, not discontinuous/discreet...
I won't pretend to be an expert on the matter, but I do not agree with your view.

For one, I think you are seriously misrepresenting USA's position. It's the biggest military power in the West and possibly the world, a country with military bases and operations all around the world. That the USA does not concern itself with other countries' matters is, sorry to say, laughable.

I also don't agree with your position that this is about the Ukrainian people's right to self determination. I think it's much closer to civil war, with "pro-Russia" Ukrainians, especially in the Donbas region, against "pro-Ukraine" Ukrainians. In 2014 that the pro-Kremlin regime fell, I remember some 50 people were killed in a burning building in Odessa. And the pro-Russia separatists of Donetsk & Luhansk were persecuted by the (corrupt) governments of Yatsenyuk & Poroshenko. Leading among those fighting against the pro-Russia "terrorists" was the Azov battalion, with several ties with neo-Nazis. It received military aid from the US up until 2018. And Ukraine has been receiving significant military aid from the US since 2014.

So to me, what you define as "right to self determination" seems more like nationalism in Ukraine backed by the USA to squash pro-Russia movements and separatists.

Lastly, I don't think that recognizing that big players like the USA, China, Russia can, and do, exert their power and influence to meddle in other countries, means that the peoples of those countries are "regional pawns". But framing it in a way that excludes their influence means you miss the big picture.
I don't think the Apple "Snow White design language" products like the IIgs look like generic beige boxes (those were the uninspired IBM products which cared little about looks that were beige), but it is interesting how white has fallen out of favor as a computer color to be replaced by unpainted aluminum or black. The black craze was probably inspired by the NeXT cube which was the epitome of cool in the late 80s-early 90s.
It seems the common expectation is that GR is more likely to be the theory that needs to be modified the most - or more or less tossed out and replaced with a quantum theory of gravity. Is it possible that GR is just "right" and QM needs to be modified to fit into it?
> OP is obviously incredibly talented, fine, but maybe someone at Solana could have spent a month working on it full time?

Exactly. OP certainly is talented and did a great job up there. However, Solana is simply too important to fail like this. Literally billions of dollars are on stake, and running a fuzzer for 2 days should NOT be this much impactful. It would not be this absurd if OP had to spend much more time and effort than this.

In other words, Solana should have adopted advanced security measures far before this happened. Using BPF requires a compiler toolchain and VM, which are sophisticated by nature. There's no security-by-correctness here, so one should fallback to the next line of defense - practical correctness by stress test - where fuzzer becomes a necessity. There have to be various fuzzers running regularly somewhere in Solana.

Also, one should note that how Solana uses BPF is well outside the original intention of BPF, which is mainly used deep inside system. BPF in system has much smaller attack surface, much easier recovery scenario, and relatively smaller impact upon failure. When it comes to Solana, BPF is wide open to the wild, a faulty BPF program can cause a lot of damage, which are often (or mostly) irreversible. That mean Solana has to be the one who perform extensive researches on BPF. No one else needs to harden BPF to the level that Solana needs it to be.
Show HN: Mysc. – Tool to make self-publishing fun and casual for more
Recently launched mysc. – a fun and carefully crafted tool on iOS to help people collect miscellaneous things they value in everyday life and easily publish their archives to their communities if wanted. We have so many productivity tools for work. How about having a fun tool for your unique life beyond work?

We can go nerdy and talk about some cool features like:
- Drop Slack-like message card with any format of attachments
- Organize your thoughts in a drag-n-drop fashion to merge, quote and move them.
- Hashtag and Unix PATH like tag group with one tap autocompletion.
- Tokenizing input and finding related cards from previous thoughts spontaneously while typing. This truly blurs the line between creating and searching. *Even supports voice recording!
- Publish your archives as websites in one tab, and fine-grained control who get access to what portion of your content or whether and how they can react to it.

And we got all these under a clean & minimal UI that won't bring you any pressure as many Productivity Apps may and has no content feed to lure your attention. Unless you really look for it, mysc. will just be your personal safe space to drop random thoughts with no distraction and noise in sight.

I love this quote, it's great popular science communication. "the brightness and pattern of the gas around Sgr A* was changing rapidly as the EHT Collaboration was observing it — a bit like trying to take a clear picture of a puppy quickly chasing its tail."
This is a really important story. I think about all the requests government agencies make for backdoors to things ... then I read something like this ... Ick.
I don't think there's anything more inherently meaningful about a digital vs analog readout, or vice-versa. They're both highly abstract representations of time, it really just depends on what you're used to.

That said, every single event on my calendar, and every single communication about time I have with other people is expressed as a written (or spoken) number, not as a position on a clock face. That makes digital clocks far more useful for me personally; it saves me the extra step of having to mentally convert to digital time before being able to reason about how the time on my watch relates to other events or significant times throughout my day.

To those who prefer analogue watches I have to ask; how does that process work for you? Do you find it easier to mentally convert written times to a visualization of a position on a watch, and then do whatever mental reasoning you need to do in that space? Or are you doing the same thing I would be doing if I had an analog watch; converting it to digital and then reasoning from there? If the latter, why does skipping that extra conversion step by using a digital watch feel worse from your perspective?

He's an authority on the DNS, but that doesn't mean he's right about everything to do with it. He's an advocate for DNSSEC, for instance, which is a fiasco. In this instance, his concern about DoH enabling malware or closed-source devices is incoherent (none of these bugbears even need to use DNS at all if they don't want to). The concern DoH addresses, meanwhile, is not abstract: if you're in the US on a major ISP, it's almost certain that your ISP is monetizing your DNS lookups.
