WhatsApp (now, since it moved into FB's infra) connects to g.whatsapp.net, which is a CNAME to chat.cdn.whatsapp.net, which in turn is an A record to a VIP on Facebook's edge network. The A record you're returned can change — it's intended to be one that's closest to you (as determined by your DNS resolver's location and probably EDNS Client Subnet) but traffic engineering policies might cause different responses over time.

Since on a flight it's likely everyone will use the same resolver on the ground somewhere in Delta's infrastructure a simple mechanism to resolve the IP periodically and update a whitelist (or to cache one VIP location and always return that) might work. Alternatively, as other commenters have suggested, it'd be better to identify traffic with SNI or other profiling.

Updates to the app almost certainly won't change the address it connects to.
At home, I have a water pressure regulator. It came welded shut by the manufacturer because, no water flowing at all means no risk of overpressure at all.

Regulation doesn't means only hindering the industry, but accompanying its development safely through overseeing.
Or maybe having them done by people who are willing to do them would be good.
I have nothing against solar, except I am not persuaded by its promise. Would like for it to be able to deliver all that it promises. But right now, you have diminishing output as panels age, you don't have a storage solution that works at scale, you will have a large volume of panel waste at the end of panel lifetime. I seriously doubt even the average life time of a solar panel will be enough. I just looked up some numbers and apparently the embodied energy of a kilowatt installed panel is 3700 kw. One kilowatt will, apparently, produce on average 850kw per year (again, looked it up online, if you have better figures, please!). This means you need to run your panel for 4 years, assuming you use all the power produced in a meaningful way, in order to break even with 1 solar panel.

I simply don't see how we can decarbonize at this rate. Now with residential panels, that's for sure.
No wifi, or no internet connection?

If no wifi and the miner makes a lot of tcp connections, it may have crashed or overheated the wifi router. They would just blacklist your mac address as remediation if it was due to not liking what you're doing, not kill all service.

It takes billions to stand up one of these plants, and decades for the projects to pay for themselves with a nearly a 38% projects failing to be completed. And let's not forget that we haven't really ever built a nuclear plant (outside of academic or the military) that hasn't been double if not triple the estimated cost.

And the article is a bit misleading in that, sure there has been new permits, for new plants, but there are several plants being added on to most notable Vogtle which has been for the last 10 years building 2 new generation units. they are currently some $15 billion dollars over budget. and still not fully operational.

And attempting to building nuclear plants in N.C. and Georgia, bankrupted Shaw, and Westinghouse in 2008-20013.

it honestly seems that it is an unappealing investment, that only applies to those that look at profits over decades not quarters and are willing to gamble billions on projects that nearly 1 in 3 fail.

A search would contain a lot more than that. Structured events about search result pages will often contain a denormalized version of the results and how they were placed on the screen, experiment ids, information about the users session, standard tracking data for anti abuse.

You might use these data to make statements in legal documents, financial filings, etc. and therefore you’d want a good story about why those data are trustworthy.
If code doesn’t smell like anything, it probably doesn’t do any heavy lifting.

Trusted Housesitters matches people who have a pet and want to go on vacation with people who would like to take care of the pet while staying at the other persons house (usually for free).

I love it because we like to discover the world and meet new people in different cities. Due to the lifestyle we never wanted to get a dog or cat because we did not want to constrain our flexibility. Trusted Housesitters gives us the best of both worlds.

I am super glad that we found it. And to be honest, I don't know when we would have found it without Youtube ads. I was watching many videos on pet behavior and - boom - there was the ad and it was a match made in heaven.

I know many people are critical of ads and I also don't enjoy most of them. Thus, I wanted to point out this splendid example which changed my life for the better. Thank you, ads. And thank you, trusted housesitters for putting in the effort to find me because I did not imagine that something like this would exist.

I guess this is the opposite of "create a good product and customers will beat the path to you". This was more like "create a good product and invest money to find the people who like it and are willing to pay you back for it".

Yeah fuck you. I am a Netflix subscriber with little to no love for the company. The algorithm fails for me and I detest the user interface. If Netflix disappeared tomorrow my life would be barely affected. But getting 200 million subscribers to anything, much less a paid service, is a massive achievement. If that person knows so much, why are they anonymous? If they’re that brilliant, they could go out and start a 200 million subscriber business themselves. Because that’s the easy part. Any chimpanzee could do it. The tricky part is getting to 300 million or 500 million.

Driving. I have a simple 140 hp car now and I love just getting in and going for a drive.

I'm lucky to be living in S. California where yes we have traffic but gosh if you love nature and just enjoying scenery its amazing. Even if I'm stuck in traffic I've got views of mountains and all sorts of people watching. SO many cool spots to stop and explore.

I drive all around LA, and if I'm bored some weekend I'll get an airbnb in SF and drive up there along the coast. Put on some good music or podcast and just explore by stopping at different restaurants and pit stops.

I love driving. I can't wait for the day that people have space ships. I want to fly around canyons and then zip straight into space, warp jump to some other planet and explore it, before going home.

Of course that can happen. But it's a low-risk event that falls outside the, say, 99% confidence interval.

So here's the thing, the difference between a pyramid scheme and a business is that in the pyramid scheme, all the wealth gets generated by selling shares to other 'investors', while in a business, all the wealth is generated by selling to customers.

I ditched my Netflix suscription and have found a much better replacement combo:

- Criterion Channel for the good stuff (cheaper than Netflix, too.)

I want to see what these songs look like in frequency space. Especially around the part where the frisson happens. I'm willing to bet they have a common frequency or multiple of a common frequency as a main component.

Long story short, the brain does most of its representation and signaling with frequencies of brain waves. Just like certain bands of the EM spectrum are reserved for TV broadcast and other parts are reserved for WiFi etc, certain bands of brain waves are reserved for motor-sensory IO. If by sheer coincidence you come across a sensory stimulus that oscillates around the carrier wave frequency used to carry that same stimulus, you should experience some funny interference effects.

Throughout evolutionary history there wasn't really a problem using these carrier frequencies because in our natural environment you're not going to accidentally run into a blinking bright light or loud sound with exactly the right pure frequency. Then we invented instruments and later electric light and oscillators.

The relevant band of frequencies is around 30hz - 60hz. More likely than not the musical examples contain beat frequencies rather than directly containing sound in this part of the spectrum.
Is there really a "Recommended daily allowance of meat and dairy protein"? Sounds like propaganda from the meat and dairy industry like the food pyramid. I once met someone who studied to be a professional nutritionist, but left the field entirely because it is corrupted by special interests. IIRC to get certified she had to tow the party line that nutritionists should promote animal products as part of a healthy diet, and she decided to change fields instead.
If you explicitly tell the other side that there are changes, sure.

But the comment I was referring to talked about "swapping" the papers and said "I doubt anyone would catch it". That does not sound like negotiating in good faith to me.

I really like the idea of using a "real" programming language for this sort of thing. That's one reason why I prefer chef to Ansible.

That said, using the AWS sdk directly is probably fine for creating resources, or tearing them down, but if you need to modify something, you'll need to have some mechanism to find the difference between the current state and the expected state, and that can get complicated fast, and is something that terraform takes care of for you.

CDK basically let's you generate cloudformation (or terraform) from other languages

Pulumi might be worth you looking into, but it still has some rough edges, and imo isn't as mature and reliable as terraform.

> Recent events in the Ukraine are cutting off cheap Russian supply of both coal and gas

This is not the impression I have gotten from recent events.

The reason Germany hasn’t experienced blackouts is because they are funding the Russian Federation’s war in Ukraine in exchange for energy. Germany has advocated for the continued purchase of Russian gas and has pushed back against the EU admitting Ukraine to the union. It’s obvious that the decarbonization had not succeeded in solving their need for base load power, in fact you could argue that their denuclearization is the very reason Russia has so much leverage in the situation. So while they may be saving the planet, this is a great example of a government missing the forest for the trees.
The "for profit" industry underwrites the entire scientific/academia industry. Most (all?) of basic science is paid for by the defence industry.

Science is just as political and conformist as any other industry. "career climate scientist" is just an appeal to authority, who actually would sign praise to anyone that would pay them enough.

An academic is just a person who wants someone to give them money so that they never have to face the vagarities of real life outside of the ivory tower.

Scientists that bring in funding are therefore particularly valuable and highly sought after. However, those that bring-in extramural funding, but do not act politically correct are often quickly dispensed with. Because other donors may dislike them.

Really weird that people still put them on pedestals, but I guess "More Doctors smoke Camels."

It's just another business.

The article covers this; in excruciating detail. The regulations add to the cost but even without that it would be costly. And a lot of the regulations have come from actual real life incidents. It's not like nuclear operators would be able to cut lots of corners on safety without regulations.

Solar and wind definitely benefited from lots of government support. Just like nuclear did back in the day. Unlike nuclear, wind and solar are now commercially viable even without subsidies.

Another part of it is the social programming. If you're an uneducated poor white male, it's easy to see a path into construction. If you're an uneducated poor black male, going into construction might as well be becoming an astronaut. Or to flip that around, imagine being an uneducated poor white male in Cleveland, Ohio and suddenly believing you could easily be a successful rapper. If your family, friends, neighborhood, media, etc don't show a clear path towards that role, you're not gonna seek it out, even without all the other barriers.

There is no reason any experience cannot be replicated on any computing device, barring hardware limitations.

There may however be reasons why things are easier done with one architecture than another, and there may be business reasons (not necessarily of benefit to the consumer) why a particular way of doing things will be preferred, and sometimes it will just be because the people who have been tasked with making something are comfortable making it one way and that is the way they will start because - as we are often told on sites like HN - when making something go with what you know if your purpose is to ship.

I generally don't like "man rants at camera" style videos but I think this is actually really good - I had assumed it would be just complaining about the size/weight/etc of the repair equipment[1], but it was mostly calling out how their reporting makes it sound like the right-to-repair folk are assholes, and how their reporting doesn't actually touch on any of the stuff that isn't repairable.

I find that HN roughly equates to that 0.1%, and there are definitely some other high quality corners of the internet where enthusiasts of whatever topic can have excellent discussions, but it's tough to find them among the ever-increasing noise.

Now that roughly everyone is online to some extent, what's the next frontier -- what can provide that sort of hidden community? I don't know that "power user" or "computer nerd" will ever be the means of gatekeeping that it once was, so what's next?
