I think the issue is not on it being primitive.

The defaults being inconsistent and ugly is a failure of the component system. Like, why does the date field
s month (6) have a space in the middle, and the up/down arrows are different from the select box’s up/down arrows ? And squared corners instead of round ones ?

It might be from the options the author is setting, but I’m not sure why it would end up that way.

The answer is no. There was a Cloudflare article on ECH a while back that mentioned the fallibility of using reverse DNS, but I am having trouble locating it. In any event, the people working on ECH have coined a term called the "anonymity set". Below is a Cloudflare article that uses this term.

https://blog.cloudflare.com/handshake-encryption-endgame-an-...

The "anonymity set" refers to the number of possible domains using a single IP address. The existence of that term implies that some IP addresses must have a number of domains associated with them, greater than 1. With these IP addresses, one cannot determine the domain name, the one that the www user sent, from a PTR query alone. Even prior to the introduction of SNI to TLS, when the only way to offer HTTPS was by using a dedicated IP address, discovering the contents of the encrypted Host header via reverse DNS was neither easy nor reliable.

If there are still people reading HN who believe that reverse DNS is reliable and makes plaintext SNI and ECH moot, and are going to comment as such in the future, I would be happy to post the results of an experiment where I take the DNS data for all the domains currently submitted to HN, i.e., a list of IP addresses found in the A records for these names, and do a PTR on each one. We can look at whether "most domains" are identifiable through PTR records.

Also remember the question is not whether ECH protects 100% from someone discovering what domain name the user sent. It does not. The question is whether ECH makes it more difficult to discover than simply sniffing plaintext SNI on the wire, which, of course, is even easier and more reliable than reverse DNS.
I'm really not.

"Economies of scale" isn't a magical spell. There has to be a function by which a large companies turns its scale into an economy. Walmart and Costco both negotiate much more attractive deals with their suppliers than their competitors can, because they can place larger orders with those suppliers, due to their scale. Because Uber connects one rider with one driver (or one meal-eater with one driver for Eats), its ability to create a useful economy of scale is sharply limited.

Uber has some mild advantages against an up-and-coming rival in terms of constancy of demand, but since drivers will happily turn on multiple gig services at a time, that's not a very big deal for it. Things like Uber Pool are an attempt to turn its scale into an economy, but (predictably) not enough people actually want a ride service that puts them in close proximity with strangers and also takes a vastly unknown amount of time to finish the ride to make Uber Pool a major differentiator. Things like Uber's car loans problem comes face to face with the fact that there it's competing against other, larger entities that have better scale (like, you know, actual banks).
What economies of scale? Their primary expenses, workers, are fixed cost.
If there's no train, though, the turboprop plane is going to be better for the environment than all those people driving.

> Patrick collects a rolodex of her (fake) data — full name, age, marital status — then tells her she has to be at least 28 to enter the drawing. “Tell your parent to call me,” he says, and hangs up.

> Her “dad” (our writer, Conor) gives it one last try. Patrick tells Conor that in order to win the car, he has to go to a local Great Destinations office and attend a 90-minute timeshare presentation.

This is the only part I still don't understand after reading the article. Why do they limit this to people at least 28? Is this just a way of filtering out people unlikely to have enough money to scam into spending on a timeshare, or are they avoiding some esoteric regulation that somehow blocks them from marketing to younger people?
Because it totally does sound like that. I mean your choice of words like "taking charge", being "strategic" about it, and then comparing it to building a startup. It sounds like you're treating it as something to calculate, work for, and acquire. Like do you want a cyborg, a prop, or a human being?

Just imagine that wording being on a dating profile. Yeah, you'd get some responses and sure, maybe it works out, but upon reading that I'd put money down and bet that it'd scare away a huge number of potential winners (min 30% compared to better wording). It's because it sounds too robotic, calculated, blueprint-like, and signals up-tight, controlling, another job to work at after coming home from their day job. The opposite is needed.

Guys get scared off when they hear things like that. It has nothing to do with a strong and empowered woman. It's got everything to do with affecting their freedom to be themselves, hang with their boys, and just not feel like they'd be put on a leash and treated like a prop. Guys, typically speaking, just want to be bros with whoever, regardless of gender, and just chill and not worry about being constrained.

Do what you want, but at least don't go by the advice you want to hear here. Go by what you need to hear here.
I have no idea what a timeshare is (sorry) but aren’t condos something you fully own? Like some of my friends live in condos, some lived in a condo for a few years and then sold them before moving into a house or some other city. Where I live the condos are usually similar in appearance to apartments (bed bath living room kitchen all on same floor) and there are townhomes which are a bit fancier and you might get an attached garage.
> development environments,

Depends. If your code lives on the network (e.g. under source control), and is executed on the network (servers, VMs, containers) then there’s not much of a case of having a local development environment. Web based IDEs also make it easier to move between machines and not have to worry about ‘works on my machine’ problems.

WSL1 is good for maybe 50% of things I tried - as it has rudimentary or nonexistent support for some syscalls - eg more advanced ptrace() commands are not supported, similarly not all clone() options work. And it's just the beginning of problems

It's good for stdio/net code, but code which makes use of more arcane OS functionalities will frequently break.

In addition, NH3 (ammonia) would probably first be used in cargo ships (which I learned in another thread here on HackerNews) which currently produce vast amounts of pollution.

The main point is this: cheap, clean, renewable electricity promises to make fuel cheap.

Those who claim "Hydrogen isn't a fuel; it's a means of storing energy." are absolutely wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel

"A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy as thermal energy or to be used for work."

Usually, the hydrogen-isn't-a-fuel wonks seem to be social justice warriors who are arguing speciously out of anger against fossil fuel companies which they believe are pushing hydrogen as a means to increase the use of "dirty hydrogen."

I actually like the fact that I don't get notified. It means I only check if I care, and the desire for validation and approval is less of a motivation to engage in discussion here. When people don't get notified they tend to only talk when they actually have something to say.
I'm not sure I agree.

I mean, it's not like Uber is buying cars in bulk at a discount smaller operators can't match, or anything like that.

And it's not like they're running a lean technology operation, with just 50 engineers globally, to get economies of scale on tech expenses.

The only economies of scale Uber has on their side is marketing.

The deficit of knowledge is bilateral. Sure clinicians don't know about patient risk factors, but people get things like rashes very commonly from a wide array of sources. Either way, the parent post was saying that people should inform and advocate for themselves. This is entirely consistent with your message.

I agree with your greater sentiment that people place unreal expectations on their doctors.
The point is that doctors are fallible and not omniscient. This is just reality, patients need to be their own advocate.

Blame is beside the point.

Let’s say there was just 1 delivery service.

Could they charge enough delivery fees to actually build a sustainable business?

How much fees would you need to charge? $4/delivery means having to make a delivery in 15 mins to be able to pay the delivery person minimum wage. Plus Uber’s profit, plus the cost of the car and maintenance expenses + tickets, accidents, etc,

It’s hard to see how a monopoly can also make money, without charging so much that people would rather pick up and restaurants would rather offer their own delivery.
How is binding it with carbon different from just using methane? I guess you reuse the carbon instead of emitting it into the air?
No because you buy a condo and get full ownership. You can use it 24/7, rent it out, remodel internally … hell you can even break down walls if they aren’t structural or add new walls if you want.

Depending on specifics you even get partial ownership of the whole building and a seat on its management board. At least that’s how it works for my mom, they run the building like a co-op and there is no other owner than the people who own the apartments inside.

edit: a timeshare in comparison is kinda like buying an NFT of an apartment. It gives you the right (obligation) to use the place for a period of time every year
IPFS doesn't really work well for this because you'd never know if the peer hosting the last subset of some books went offline (and you'd lose those until someone who had them came online again).

I want a slightly different system, which I've posted about here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31972252
Has anyone solved the data problem? I have taken many stabs at this over the last 10 years, and the primary problem is that music is _extremely_ subtle. Even something as seemingly simple as chord progressions are very difficult to annotate properly without deep training. And even then, experts can disagree.

The thing that's missing is the data. If we had midi transcriptions of 100k songs (abc notation could be fine too), we could probably get really interesting stuff, but most of what is available is lossy chord transcriptions and classical music (public domain). So if you want to automatically create something that sounds like mozart, you're in luck!

But this isn't really satisfying to me. For generative music, we're still largely stuck with encoding musical rules in code rather than feeding data to a transformer. To me, the former feels much less like AI than the latter. The data is all locked up behind an impossible quagmire of copyright.

But if I were a sheet music publishing company, I would be seriously considering the future of music creation with AI given my broad access to notated music & metadata (is this an original score, or a grade 1 simplification?). But again, music copyright is a pretty complex contraption.

Food delivery also isn’t very practical in developed country markets without a huge increase in productivity vs labor costs. It’s just too expensive compared to a country like China where it is cheap enough to be ubiquitous.

Automation could be disruptive here…someday in the form of food delivery land and/or air drones. It really is the same with ride share: it just isn’t economical considering how much human labor is worth, self driving vehicles are more than likely required to make it economical enough to be ubiquitous.
You really think that they aren't?
The reason they’re so cheap is because the hardware was originally leased, and the leases ran out.
I think the source of the information might be useful. If they truly think they are going to win a car, then the chances of a successful scam are higher. The more gullible. The more vulnerable. Thus an easier target.

If you ever watch scam baiting videos, those Indian scammers share and sell the numbers the collect. If they can fall for the "Microsoft tech support" scam once, then they are likely to fall for the "Amazon refund" scam as well.
It's not a bandaid. It's retreat, and the battle line will follow you.
It's not meaningless. Just not 'every day'.

Like, when I have to travel to visit my family, it's like 25h of flights and connections + another 2h road trip, and still need to arrive like 4 hours earlier. I'm def. going to be offline and would miss a streak if it required me to do every day. So I would not even try to increase it anyway, since I know it's impossible not to lose it a couple times every year.

Since I know I can go offline for a day or 2 when necessary, I have more motivation to just keep going
I found the original designs that are part of the patent, it was designed to cam out.

Edit: I guess the very original patent was edited to _add_ the cam out? I may be wrong on this, but my research showed that the automated screwdrivers on assembly lines did not have good torque controls and therefore were wrecking screws (early 1900s?) and so the cam-out feature was added to help with this problem.
I’ve never had a Robertson head strip out either, and in fact the drivers grip the heads so well that the few failures I have experienced were all due to the threads binding in the material followed by me overtorquing it until the heads just twisted right off the top of the screw shafts.
I just came back from a family vacation. I looked at getting an Uber or Lyft from airport home. They were all like a twenty minutes wait and 50 bucks. We took a cab that was already there and it came in at about 40 bucks.
I used to fly between London and Berlin a lot, and absolutely loved Tegel then. LCY-TXL was a great route. From my apartment to sitting on the plane at LCY took 20 min; from my desk in Berlin to sitting on the plane at TXL took 40 min. Probably the best two airport experiences I've ever had.
Support on your personal blog is good, but social media is necessary in gaining outreach to new and more targeted audiences... Even blogs are subject to low visibility via search engine result rankings and competition, while they can be costly to maintain as well.

Social media platforms have large bases of users that are looking for specific content, but they are very geared towards likes and followers, and that is what ends up also being a barrier if that support is low for a creator. When individuals click like on a post, it now increases the outreach of the post to more and more viewers, making that brand of support more valuable.

It's not fair of course that visibility is mostly driven by engagement now, but simple clicks from friends helps independent creators go far beyond those limits, whereas sponsored and wealthy artists can simply pay for ads to cross the visibility barrier, and already popular creators already have "fans" to keep them visible. So many great, and even well known artists and musicians simply quit now because of this artificially generated glass ceiling that drives profit only for platforms, it's a shame.

> While this doesn't make all Linux distributions UNIX certified, it puts a rather large dent in the claim that they cannot be qualified as UNIX because of some claimed divergence from the standards.

No one is claiming it can't be a Unix. But as you noted, Linux distributions normally do not meet the legal criteria, nor are they descended from one that did.

Legally Unix is a trademark and has a very specific legal meaning. If you don't mean that legal meaning, then it is clearer if you use another term. The usual term is "Unux-like"; that is the widely-used term and it has been for decades.

A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but calling it a different word risks confusion.

They now provide shipping costs, at least in the Los Angeles area.

Much of the shipping work is done by private contractors like DGC. I get same day deliveries, often for $7-10.

"Binding" is probably the wrong term to use. Its likely absorption with a bit of adsorption. Not the same as a covalent bond.
I see things like this, and I wonder why the following software doesn't exist:

I want a piece of software to which I can add a collection of files, say multiple TB. The software will then behave a bit like a BitTorrent tracker, and know which peer has which files. A peer joining this swarm will be able to say "I want to donate X GB of space", and the tracker would tell it "OK, then download and seed these files, which are the least seeded".

The peer would download the files from the rest of the swarm and make them available to it. Then, a request layer on top of the swarm could be used to request a file from the peer which had it. Adding/removing files to this collection would also need to be a feature.

Does anyone know if anything like this exists? If not, how easy would it be to make something like it out of BitTorrent? I might give it a go.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeshare

> A timeshare (sometimes called vacation ownership) is a property with a divided form of ownership or use rights. These properties are typically resort condominium units, in which multiple parties hold rights to use the property, and each owner of the same accommodation is allotted their period of time. Units may be sold as a partial ownership, lease, or "right to use", in which case the latter holds no claim to ownership of the property. The ownership of timeshare programs is varied, and has been changing over the decades.
