They measure my gaps each time, yeah. I had three 6mms that are now two 5mms and a 4mm, and a lot of 4mms and 5mms that are now 3mms. They didn't mention the interdental brushes, but that might be because I have a Waterpik, which they did recommend I use 2-3 times a day, instead of just once, as well as brushing.

My gums also generally feel a lot better now, except for some periodic issues with the two 5mm gap teeth. Like it's pretty obvious to me that they're better. It used to be painful just to lightly brush some of those places that aren't now, and bleeding is a lot less common, and swelling is way down.

The Tepe brushes look interesting though, I might have to give those a try.
My issue is that there was a time when it was a lot closer to "just" than it is now. I agree it's always more complex than we realize. But what frustrates me is that that almost has become a justification (pun) to justify (pun) not spending the effort to make it so that can be "just".
In bytes it's even less believable. More traffic than Google, which owns YouTube? What are they doing, serving all the video in 8K?

Even as someone who really doesn't have a problem with porn, I'm not going to spend 3 hours watching it, while I definitely have spent 3 hours watching youtube on many many occasions. There's also only one of the two that's going to be serving as background noise during working hours... Or that someone is going to put on to entertain their kids.
Nice project hand-over policy actually, that sounds very reasonable.

I don't recommend Levoit.

I've had two of the very expensive ones die in the last year. Both the same kind of death where the software gets confused and it does not respond to any commands and won't boot.

Crazy that we live in an age where a fan+filter+sensor needs to boot an operating system.
I've used the Wirecutter, so I'm not going to claim to be totally unbiased. But I'm just not seeing any nastiness there: the reason they gave for switching their recommendation (while retaining their original recommendation as an upgrade pick) seems entirely legitimate. And as much as the company wants to emphasize the use of the word "kickback" it's not really apt: Wirecutter's model has always been affiliate linking, and that's exactly what they reached out about in their first and second emails. And when turned down, they still published the recommendation and (later) still identified it as the best option if cost isn't an issue.
I don’t think their remark is limited to conventional religions.

Zealot is the key word. People who are enthusiastically intolerant.

When Customers Say Their Money Was Stolen on Zelle, Banks Often Refuse to Pay

Net/net: -1, poor couching of an old gripe I share.

I miss ResEdit and the option of using a quasi-developer utility to swap out icons and other assets from the "resource fork" of any Mac app. As a consumer, I loved how everything was externalized in a common format.
> I’m impressed at how many people coalesce to the same suggestions to save space: simple clothes, layers, etc.

Buying toiletries locally can mean paying 2-3x the price in your home country. You actually save money by bringing more. For example, in the US the last time I checked I could buy a pack of floss for $0.99. In LATAM it's at least $3. The solution is to bring ~20 packs of floss.
My favorite creation of his is the Furby Organ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYLBjScgb7o). Which is as insane as it sounds for anyone who's never seen it :)
It does vary by language, but Roman languages (French, Spanish, Italian, etc.) say the 4th of July.

Same in German.

In Polish, it’s the same, except for official matters since 2002, which now follows ISO8601.

Even in the UK they commonly say the 5th of May, and not May, the 5th (but it does happen).

I can’t talk about other languages.
> Svg is also often much larger than a font file, especially one that's subset.

Subsetting is where SVG shines, though.

For icon fonts, you can much more easily subset SVG icons than a font file. Font file subsetting needs dedicated tools like font editors (with Icomoon being a common choice these days) and often manual maintenance/upkeep, whereas SVG tree shaking is a natural part of any web bundler (webpack, etc) and automatically adapts to your icon usage and tools in your web bundler such as bundle splitting/lazy loading.

The Fort Awesome JS libraries behind Font Awesome's SVG icon fonts reduce things further from SVG XML files to tree-shakeable ESM files [EcmaScript Modules] that include just a few pieces of metadata and the lone important path text (sticking to a single SVG path per icon), then build the SVG DOM at runtime (as VDOM in the case of the React library), including making sure it follows fill: currentColor to pick up the text color. Minified and tree-shaken by most web bundlers the ESM files are very competitive with any other font format and the convenience wins of automatic subsetting by web bundler are hard to match.
Sort of. He thinks there's something special about biology, but doesn't seem to be able to explain what that might be and how this is different from dualism, so it's hard for me to take it seriously.

To my mind both dualism and biological naturalism are both positing some special woo needed for consciousness without saying what that woo is, or what it's like, or how it works, or anything about it at all.
I came across this newsletter, which has quickly became my favorite weekly read (it's a tech newsletter but actually entertaining). I'm a tech journalist doing a piece on top newsletters, but I have no idea who started this one. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
It's an interesting thought. I can imagine that consciousness is something like the experience of the possibility space expanding through entropy, and free will is collapsing that possibility space into a single interpretation of the reality of the moment and a single course of action.
You can create a project, put together multiple lambda config in a single project and it can have multiple different routes defined for each lambda.

Container solutions scaled to zero, takes a lot more time to come online (cold start) compare to lambda environment.

1 serverless function serves one request, so when new functions are spinned to handle parallel requests, there can still be cold start for a lot of users.

Not worrying about scale too early, We are looking to build a serverless tool and trying to understand if the market ready enough to finally move.
Basically database compatibility with existing databases still seems like a big question :
- Dynamodb's single table design has it's learning curve & hardly any availability of full text search, and much more complex stuff.
- mongodb proxies are uncomman, and there is no pre build solution. ( even mongodb.com’s mongodb serverless and data api seems more like an incomplete products)
- Rds proxy only available for database on aws.

These are all concern, the existing app’s data in real world is sitting in databases on different cloud services be it mongodb, or sqls on GCP, Azure, DO or Aws. And without changing that database layer using serverless become really difficult and migration and change is difficult, nobody wants to do that if not must, so it feels dbs are not ready still in 2022. What’s your opinion on this?

i've always wanted to use sshfs but never id. I used to set it up and get hung mounts all the time (typically from transient failures) so it was really annoying to use.

For the most part scp or rsync gets the job done for me, which is strange considering a real file system should be way more useful.

What are peoples use cases for sshfs and is there alternative workflows?
That's not necessarily a reductionist argument if it respects that the consciousness has a drama of its own that is not related to the low-level parts of the substrate; i.e. that the consciousness is irreducible. The mere hypothesis that something can be ported to silicon doesn't reduce it; it respects the complexity of the abstraction itself.

Also, "the meat computer has consciousness" independently requires proof. Every meat computer thinks it has consciousness, and we just take their word for it, based on our own experience as a meat computer.

If the thing making the same claim is not a meat computer, then we don't believe it in the same way: "I know meat computers are conscious because I am one; you say you are conscious but you are not a meat computer, therefore I don't believe you".

In the same way, we could deny that an extraterrestrial life form is conscious, if it's not made of anything resembling meat.
Sure, that wording was misleading. For the two peers using QUIC there's a connection, but for the middlebox no discernible connection exists, and so it can't shut down that connection.
I've never thought about air filters, but the explanation on why they also filter smaller particles is very similar to size exclusion chromatography, a very common method used in a biolab. This is also a method that might appear counter-intuitive at first.

The idea there is to separate molecules according to their size. So you press them through a column of porous beads. Small molecules can enter these pores, which delays them and they travel through the column slower than large molecules that cannot enter them. This is pretty counter-intuitive, especially as other similar methods work as you'd expect with smaller molecules being faster to move through the material because they don't bump into it as much as larger molecules.

This. I brought my kid to check for his open-bite problem, seen 6 different orthodontists and oral surgeons, everyone has a different opinion: from removing 7 teeth then do a jaw surgery(a 70K expense) to using some rubber bands to pull down the front teeth and observe what happens next($4000), each one has a different opinion.

All dentists running practice are suggesting way more expensive approaches, the last and cheapest one is actually from a dentistry university, where the professor seems more interested in studying the case instead of doing a quick surgery with huge costs.
That's pretty cool, thanks for the info!
I'll agree that being a manager sucks. Being managed is worse. Corporate is hell and it's an embarrassment to us as a species that we haven't managed to overthrow it. Our current system has all the bad things of Soviet-style socialism (bureaucracy, inept management, corruption) and all the bad things about capitalism (structural divergence, duplicated efforts, the widespread use of violence to maintain class divisions) but it has none of the good of either system. It should've been thrown in history's garbage pile decades ago.

If one has to survive in the shitpile we call corporate capitalism, though, then it's better to hold a higher rank, where the jobs are more lucrative, less demanding, and easier to keep.

I've been in multiple management roles at multiple places and, with one exception, the role is much more about managing expectations of leadership and playing political games to make sure your team survives.

Indeed, it sucks. But ICs suffer a high risk of random non-survival. The stress of being a manager comes from knowing what fecal garbage most of the people who run your company are. The stress of being a grunt comes from not knowing. It's hard to say which is worse.

On top of that mindlessly solving problems and getting to check out with only 3-5 hours of work is exactly what many of them want.

I find that, when the work is pointless, there's a hedonic adaptation to not having to do much of it, just as there is with everything else: whatever you have becomes, within 3 months, what you consider yourself entitled to. People who are used to 8 hours per day of pointless work might be happy at first to only have to do 5, but soon they'll grow to hate even that. I, on the other hand, don't mind working if there's a point to it. I want zero pointless work. Unfortunately, the current system, which celebrates the proliferation of malevolent bureaucracies, has nothing for people like me.
I've never used Zelle, and it seems like there are now plenty of different ways to send money (PayPal/Venmo, Apple Pay/Cash, Square Cash). What is the ideal use case for each? How many does a person need to be signed up for to cover most use cases?
If consciousness is binary like you state, we can hypothetically remove parts of it until we reach some arbitrarily small part after the removal of which the remainder is no longer conscious. This seems like a very weak argument to me, implying the opposite conclusion that consciousness must be on a sliding scale.

(measuring the level of consciousness is left as an exercise to the reader)

Wirecutter has gone to shit and stopped being useful about 3-4 years ago. Their move to a paid subscription was very odd to me because they had also lost all my trust by that point.

There are countless examples of recommends products doing a bait and switch (changing the materials/product after the wirecutter article recommending them came out) and just cases of Wirecutter giving bad recommendations.

Given the stuff he's collected, he appears to be traveling all over the world. You can't take a train across oceans. I don't know why Europeans seem to want to derail every discussion of anything into "why can't the world be more like Europe," but have you looked at an equal area map of the whole globe lately? (https://www.esri.com/about/newsroom/wp-content/uploads/2019/...). The overwhelming majority of the world is not Europe. Vitalik is Canadian. All of continental Europe seems to fit roughly east of the Hudson Bay when shoved into Canada. Some other person in this comment string is talking about how easy it is to get around all the major cities in Spain by train. That's great. Spain is 2/3 the size of Texas. Getting around North America isn't nearly the same. Presumably, Vitalik flies more than he uses trains because he has a finite lifespan and wants to devote more of his time living as a nomad to being where he is going rather than in the act of getting there.

As for carbon footprint, I'm not going to comment on the moral quality of his choices, but the dude founded a cryptocurrency. Once you've done that, I don't think much else you can do short of also founding an oil company is going to make your carbon footprint worse than it already is.
You're being downvoted because your idea runs counter to the nature of humanity.

We do not like, and eventually will not tolerate, people who do not contribute a certain amount to the tribe. Members of the tribe that could not, or would not, contribute we banished to exile to die in the wilderness.

This is why Communism in any form cannot and will not work. There has never been, and will never be, a perfectly equal distribution of work amongst the people in a tribe, a village, a town, a city, a state, a nation. You cannot distribute equal resources for unequal effort and expect cohesion.
I'd be surprised if that method of determining Idleness works in practice. With port 22 exposed to the internet the VM will start being hit by brute force scans.

If the code watching for new connections doesn't ignore new short lived connections it will just keep the VM running 24/7.
There's this fork. I don't know how it differs from the original.

How about implementing OAuth2 and then restricting account creation per domain/per tenant? For example, if your only two customers owns foo.com and bar.com, then restrict account creation to those two domains (assuming they're in one tenant together). There are lots of mature OAuth2 libraries, but the selection for SAML, ADFS, etc isn't nearly as good. You'll get the benefit of not storing passwords on your server and complying with whatever two-factor requirements the customer has, while avoiding the complexities of SAML, ADFS, etc. I'm curious if anyone has tried this approach and if so, did your customers's security departments sign off?
Ask HN: Having trouble getting senior applicants, wondering what to do about it
We're a fairly typical run-of-the-mill mid-size enterprise software vendor trying to hire for fully-remote SWEs in the "DevOps" software space (Linux, containers, k8s, yadda yadda). We post in the usual places including Who's Hiring but we haven't even managed to backfill a retirement from six months ago, and we're junior-heavy already. Benefits and salary are good (though salary isn't posted in the ad), and the people are great, though the work requires a reasonably deep understanding of the underlying platforms which a lot of people seem to dislike.

I'm wondering if the work being a higher percentage non-code is what's causing us trouble, if we're just rubbish at hiring in general, or if it's something else.

What's everyone else's experience attracting applications from senior talent in this market, and what is everyone doing to increase their attractiveness?

Current hiring process:

- Resume screened by in-house recruiter
- 30m call with them
- Resume passed up to engineering
- Hour-long call with hiring manager (typically the engineering manager of the team the candidate would join)
- Take-home technical assignment (~4h) or similar at candidate's choosing
- Presentation of technical assignment to the team
- Offer
But the problem is that it ultimately skews the incentives and contradicts their claim that the editors are totally isolated from the commercial part of their business.

Their homepage currently suggests the following:

> We independently review everything we recommend. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission [emphasis mine]

The "about" page claims:

> There’s no incentive for us to pick inferior products or to respond to pressure from manufacturers—in fact, it’s quite the opposite [emphasis mine]

That's not really true when the same person who writes the reviews is the one trying to solicit kickbacks in the background, and puts the credibility of the entire website into question. Their adjusted review could be completely legitimate but there's no way to be sure so it's better to err on the side of caution.
I've been super happy with my Winnex and Coway. Pretty sure they are the ones that Wirecutter likes as well. The Levoits just don't seem to move much air. I like big, quiet fans that move lot's of air.
The fact that a few people without deep pockets need SSO doesn't invalidate the whole enterprise.

If we accept that service providers are going to price discriminate, then we accept that they are going to price discriminate on _some_ imperfect heuristic.

It seems to me that you have to argue

(A) Businesses should not price discriminate

Or

(B) price discrimination based on marginal features is okay but this particular feature (needing SSO) isn't very predictive

Or

(C) This particular feature might be predictive, but security is too important to be part of a willingness-to-pay heuristic, so it's unethical to use this particular feature in this way.

C seems like the argument a lot of people here are obliquely making.

> Buying iDevices is the libertarian dream of buying into private regulatory environments.

I bet Libertarians would love to hear that, but even they probably wouldn't put their money into a company that has time-and-time-again been proven to be in the Governments pocket via PRISM, iCloud data requests and Greykey Bruteforcing. Sounds like a libertarian nightmare to me: you give your data to a private company, but they immediately betray you and share that information with the government.

...that of course doesn't mean that Apple shouldn't be regulated into the ground. It does imply that they won't be regulated though, as long as egregious data collection continues to appease our private and national interests.
> The domain name is about.censys.io

Which appears to be implemented as a github page unless i am mistaken.

> One cannot get that domain name by looking at the certififcate.

Really, because this is the certificate i get when i view that domain (with correct SNI):
https://crt.sh/?id=6682474444

Its right there in the common name field.

Unless you mean that its not in the default cert for that IP, which sure, but in the scenario where we are evesdropping on SNI, if we couldnt do that, why not just evesdrop on the certificate itself. It should be just as easy.

I'm not sure what your point is here. If this was a foo.github.io page and github had a wildcard cert on *.github.io it would support your position. But about.censys.io is not doing that. This is an example where you need SNI to choose the correct certificate as its being hosted on a cdn hosting many different sites.

> I fetch DNS data in bulk at selected intervals and store it

That's cool and all, but that's not how normal people use dns, nor is it likely that that will become common, so its useless when talking about internet privacy. If doing something totally abnormal is a valid solution, we might as well just say everyone should use tor.

> Web browsing history or at least a list of domains visited is something that not only a "nefarious" person or "adversary" would find useful. The data has commercial value to companies that are actively trying to destroy user privacy

When people say nefarious, that is one of the groups they mean. Heck, this is almost a dictionary definition of nefarious.

> The certificate will often list several names.

It is very rare for the subject-alt-name to be for unrelated sites, all hosted on the same ip, and not require an SNI to select the correct certificate. So rare, that i challenge you to actually find a real example.
I'm browsing on mobile. Interested in reading about the language feature being discussed here, but not in fixing demo code. It seems as though I can't advance beyond page 3 without doing this.
Both can be right. The possible unverifiability and non-computational base of consciousness does not exclude its explainability either.
