IMO hetzner is missing a golden opportunity to offer a dedicated or more powerful colocated data center solution to this client. being able to service the tenants needs should be their only concern. throttling just leaves sour grapes for everyone, and might mask hetzner having capacity issues supporting their workload..cost clearly isn't the problem here.
Mastercard and Visa aren't the ones at risk by such activity, the issuing banks are, and as someone who works for a bank, yes, banks have tools to detect and stop account takeovers and assist card members in recovering from such incidents.

Scammers don't care about privacy cards. They'll use anything they can get their hands on, metaphorical or otherwise. If it doesn't have their details attached, it's fair game to them.
> Even at $0.01/GB, that would be $2,560.

That's still overpriced by a factor of 10. Hetzner overage price for the 10G link is 1 euro / TB or about $0.001/GB. That seems pretty reasonable.

So we're really looking at something more like $250/month.

In my city, they haven't changed the bus routes in several decades.
unless you are on an active ethernet fiber last mile circuit, an ISP can't really sell "dedicated" business 1:1 capacity on a GPON circuit.

if you found yourself operating a small regional bank branch or similar and wanted a business circuit in some suburb of a major city you'd more realistically be looking at $700-800/mo for a 1Gbps dedicated business DIA circuit on a 36-60 mo term.
I studied AI at Birmingham in the 00s and remember having to visit Prof. Aaron Sloman's office with £5 to purchase a hardcopy of the POP-11 primer.
From what I remember; FDC has 100Gbit/s for $4,999/month.
I sure hope so. MSRP on the battery is over $10k right now from Volvo[1] although poking around some dealers have them as low as $8k. Maybe there will be aftermarket options in the future?

Sort of silly to hope for but if I'm lucky the battery will prematurely degrade within the 8-year hybrid warranty and they'll replace it for free.

Let me guess, one way ticket only
From my perspective, it isn’t the security aspects that are limiting, but the usability.

If you want to have any access controls that isn’t a simple user_id==123, SQL WHERE clauses can get complicated.

Users, groups, or any kind of fine grained access control can make simple queries non-trivial. It’s even worse if a user can be authorized to view data across different accounts.
It wouldn't be that hard for them to sell connections as something like "guaranteed 20Mbps, peak 100Mbps" and, if they have to impose limits, impose them at the point where the "guaranteed" would be running constantly.

The problem is they don't want to do that, because it's much snazzier to just market the peak speed.

That's more than a feeling. It's literally bait and switch.
While it doesn't apply to the Tesla case, this does bring up an interesting question: if both cards share the same PCB with differing QA standards, the card you got failed those standards but was accidentally given a TI bios anyway, and doesn't seem to crash in everyday workloads, is it ethical to still sell it on as a TI, not knowing how stable it is at extreme workloads?
I wanted a single dashboard for things like local cinema listings, station departure boards, weather, stock prices.

> The previous owner shouldn't have sold it as a 90 or at least disclosed that, "It's a 60 but Tesla swapped out the batter with a 90 and left it configured as a 90".

This is a couple new owners downstream, though. The most recent owner to sell the car might not have known about this, or may not have remembered it or understood the implications of it.

And, regardless, while I think many of us here are very familiar with the idea of more-capable hardware being software-locked to be less capable, with monetary upgrade options, I think it's reasonable to assume that the average consumer would be very surprised that it would be even possible that they could drive a car into a service station for a completely unrelated issue, and then drive it out with a software-enforced "smaller" battery.
This is so weird. Currently only the wealthy are driving the RAV4 Prime and they love it! It is like a status symbol. The RAV4 was supposed to be an economy vehicle. $72K!!! Nothing makes sense anymore.
This is broken:

.incbin "string_blob.txt"
...

printf("%s\n", string_blob);

Text files don't have to have a NUL termination. The proper way to embed data with the .incbin directive is to add a label after the file and use that directly for pointer arithmetic or compute the size with another assembly directive.

Wayland works much better in this scenario.
I usually search "tempmail service" on some search engine and take a random link.
> I get over 40 mpg if I run on gas (in the summer).

I don't think that's a fair number. It seems cost/mile or carbon/mile would make more since, since that number assumes electricity is free.
Well luckily it's very obvious when I still have a car in my driveway.

It's not obvious that a script got caught in a loop and decided to write up a $5000 bill overnight.
Worse than expected by analysts, better than expected by investors. It was technically a miss
to extend this analogy, the posted time limit at the entrance of the buffet is similar to what's in their TOS/AUP that the customer agreed to before ever starting the service in the first place.
Probably when a country falls out of an international community with more or less consistent approach to enforcement of IP laws, it creates a certain Wild West-like environment.
I found one last year. It was 7k dealer markup, plus another 3k for various accessories, plus another 2k for an A/C super coolant. They also came in extremely low on a trade-in. I ended up walking and ordering a Model Y. It felt slimy to pay over MSRP. Similar experiences at several ford dealers over mach-e prices.

The cutoff is to stop the electricity from leaving the battery, and electrifying the rest of the car. Nothing more fun that getting electrocuted just touching a car. F1 cars are also Hybrids, and if you watch F1 drivers exit a the car after a crash, they do a little hop off the car. Making sure not to touch the car and the ground at the same time. They also have little indicators that show if there is current running into the car's body. I will venture that an F1 hybrid system is at least as advanced, if not more-so, than a common consumer hybrid system. At the least, I wish Commercial EVs had that same electrification indicator.

Cutting that wire is largely, to de-power airbags and the like. Airbags DO go off unexpectedly, and can inure a responder quite effectively. Cutting the power is a normal step in any big motor vehicle incident, EV or ICE.

Tesla and others do publish all this information with nice diagrams and handy mobile apps, and we study them. However, this doesnt fix the problem of the Huge Energy load in the battery itself. Even if that energy cant get out of the battery through wires, it can still burn like crazy inside (and outside) the battery case(s).
Is This Mushroom Edible?
> I personally would assume that "unlimited 1Gbps" wouldn't include using 80% of the link's capacity, but I also agree that stated limits are better.

There is in fact a very clearly stated limit. It's unlimited.
Yeah, that's common from what I hear. Also on the UX side you need approvals all the way up the chain even to Toby who can just veto your project a week before release for what amounts to personal preferences.

Maybe the dev side is better but my impression is that the design side has no ownership and is driven primarily by the loudest opinion rather than any sort of data or testing. And when you have five layers of approvals where people pick on the easiest and least important aspects that ends up being a very slow design by committee. The end result of this culture is very low efficiency and consistently mediocre outcomes.

The people who thrive in their culture appear to be the loudest and most aggressive.
Ahh that’s a shame, it looks really nice in person too (I prefer it more than the RAV4). I managed to snag one before the gas price exploded so I’m sure the demand is so much higher now
On the bright side: if this was Google, I wouldn't be surprised to see his account terminated immediately without giving an exact reason.
Also the company is incredibly open, with lots of its documentation and meetings done in public and available on YouTube. Pretty interesting.
Consumers have the power here and are giving up more and more rights every day.

In the EU they can now remotely speed limit your car.

If you think the push for EVs is for the environment think again, they are a dubious tradeoff with a bigger environmental impact.

The EV push is meant to take away your control over the assets that you "own".

If you don't fight back now, you won't be able to own anything in 5 years.
Yeah, these inner asteroids are in sort of a blind spot, so we won't get much warning if they one day smash into Buenos Aires.

Then again, even with a warning, there is very little we can do, aside from evacuate the target area.
That’s not how I heard it was viewed internally a few year ago.
> it literally won the war.

Then why is everything on the consumer side becoming more closed?

The reality is that proprietary just moved to the cloud in the form of SaaS-as-DRM and we-own-your-data. Open source runs everything, but few things are open. The availability of the source for components of the stuff they use is irrelevant to 99% of users.
A database per tenant makes the rest of the workflow significantly easier though. No need to add clauses to SQL WHERE statements for users/groups. Queries are faster (less data). And data can be moved much easier between servers.

Yes, it does add extra overhead at account creation, during DB migrations, and for backups.

But if you don’t need cross-account or public data access, it can make life much easier.
Ask HN: Transfer(wise) refuses to process a dispute claim. Any recourse?
I used my (Transfer) Wise Mastercard to purchase a pair of earbuds in Turkey at a major retailer (think Barnes & Noble). I tried them for a day and then tried to return them.

The ANC on the earbuds makes it so that I can barely hear the other person and they can barely hear me.

The retailer refused to refund the money. They sent them to another city for testing and said they're fine.

I filed a dispute 5 weeks ago and heard nothing from Wise. Now I've called them and they said my dispute was rejected by Wise.

Do I have any recourse? It's not the $60 loss that hurts. I like using Wise and I've been a customer for years, but if I have zero protection by using their card, then I'll stop using it.

> Upon checking on the attachments you've sent, unfortunately, we cannot do anything on our end since the merchant claimed that the stuff you purchased is working fine and not defective.

> Unfortunately, upon checking the attachments you submitted, we have no choice but to accept the seller's statement that the items you bought are in good condition and not damaged.

So they'd rather believe a merchant in Turkey over their long-time customer.
That's quite irrelevant.

The point is that advertising "unlimited 1Gbps" pretty much explicitly says that it is OK to continuously run at 1Gbps.
> I really resent them calling Aloy a “waifu” since Horizon is one of the few games with a female protagonist that is both undeniably a woman while also not being made as a sex object.

Maybe they hate human protagonists on games wholesale. I’m on anime side and has a personal hate against a broad spectrum across Disney/furry/cartoon. Due to this background I am easily triggered and might go on to a rant of similar scale if, for example, a graphic, visually homosexual werewolf character would become an AAA protagonist.

The author’s odd reaction to just a modern female protagonist seems to be on that kind of internal logic and magnitude.
I was thinking of more distributed control systems, particularly where testing for edge cases might be difficult and rare, and rigorous methods (did Lamport solve distributed mutex?) are probably off the radar in terms of culture.
My team is working on this problem in the context of creating Node.js single-executable applications. While the naive approach of just appending data at the end of the binary works, it is not friendly with code-signature in macOS and Windows given that signing operates on PE and Mach-O sections.

We have recently open-sourced a small tool called Postject (https://github.com/postmanlabs/postject), which is able to inject arbitrary data as proper ELF/Mach-O/PE sections for all major operating systems (with AIX support coming). The tool also provides C/C++ cross-platform headers for easily traversing the final binary and introspect whether the segment is present or not.

The tool is based on the LIEF (https://github.com/lief-project/LIEF) project.

At Postman, we are making use of this on our custom Node.js single-executable applications and soon on our custom Electron.js builds too.
Fascinating! @jsiepkes Would you be willing to divulge the industry that your company is in?
> You could just as easily get screwed by GM, Ford, or any other legacy automaker

That is purely hypothetical, however -- as far as I know, this kind of stunt has only become a thing since Tesla started doing it. Chevy wants to reduce the capacity of my wife's Bolt by 20%, but they are asking for her permission to do that, not just sending an OTA update to do it against her wishes.

When I look at what car to buy, I am not going to care so much about regulations or legal ramifications, I'm going to look primarily at how likely it is that I will have to resort to those remedies in the future because the manufacturer likes to modify already-sold vehicles after the fact without even asking.

Stunts like this are why we are looking at a Mach-E to replace my wife's Bolt, not a Model Y.

The Peter Principle: Are you at your level of incompetence? (1974) [video]
Why would you need them? What problem do they solve? I can see why I would use AR/VR glasses for specific tasks related to work or education, maybe even entertainment, but I don't see how the always-on head-camera version would help in any way.

Not only that, but once you get them on your head, everyone interacting with you will act for the camera, because from that moment on everything you do or say is being televised. Is that what you really want?
And on top of that, you record other people, invading their privacy. That makes you the "glasshole".

You should edit or remove parts of your comment. There isn't really the so called "moral police" existent to the level you're describing. Lots of my fellow Americans don't really seem to understand the changes Saudi is undergoing, so I'm not surprised someone would write a comment like yours.

By the way, everyone could be writing about how on every American or European-adjacent topic, those governments are involved in terrible things too (need we talk about torturing people, killing civilians, colonization, genocide, racism, etc.) Anyways, with American support for Saudi, everyone is "implicated" in this.

Let it speak for what it is, and stick to the topic. There's a place for these criticisms, and they are sometimes necessary, but they drown out the idea we should be discussing for low-hanging, emotionally-charged fruit.
As a former CircleCI customer (my new employer uses Gitlab) I can highly recommend them. They make that issue so easy. You can even request GPU machines and it all works really well.

More explicitly stating the limits would be good, but declaring “fraud” is rather exaggerating.

You go with Hetzner knowing you’re getting bargain prices, so they’re cutting corners somewhere. This would be like saying Walmart are committing fraud when it turns out their ham is not “finest quality”.
People are complicated. They will do great things that change the world for the better one day, and the next day do horrible things that should be condemned. The horrible things do not make the good things any less good. The good things do not make the horrible things any less horrible.

I think the people who celebrate the accomplishments of Elon Musk and SpaceX are well founded. I also think the people who decry his actions in other places are completely justified. In the end I think he should be judged for ALL of his actions, and not just the ones we choose to accept.
This number is only factoring gas as a energy source. The combined mpg (what they call it when they calculate electric usage too) is easily over 150 mpg which is “cheating”. But to put it into perspective, my car can run over 400 miles on a 11 gallon tank without ever touching an electric outlet.
Holy crap, school is 25 miles out?

What it does, more than anything else, is diminish Russia's ability to replace the weapons, ammunition, trucks and other things it has lost, destroyed or worn out in the war.

The Peter Principle states "In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence".

The principle was coined by Canadian educator Laurence J. Peter (1919 - 1990). Below are some quotes from Peter from the video:

"I saw that very often...the competent individual was promoted to something he couldn't do."

"I saw competent engineers getting promoted to supervisory positions - they were great at dealing with things, and incompetent at dealing with people. And over and over again I saw this this phenomenon and I called it the Peter Principle."

"The Peter Principle states very simply that in any hierarchy an employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence."

"I'm not saying people shouldn't accept promotions - some people should. Some people enjoy power, a joy [in] authority, enjoy responsibility. And others find it a burden - it drags them down. It makes them feel that they're responsible for more than they should be."

"Should we go throughout life being conditioned to keep on accepting that next reward? To keep on running like a squirrel in a cage to keep on striving for that carrot on the stick? Or should we use our ability to be rational and think about where am I going? What is the purpose of my life? Is reward through promotion the reward for me? Or are there other rewards through other aspects of living? This is the question."

"This is where the Peter Principle written as humour as satire to help people laugh at the problem can actually help people make some of these very important decisions in their own lives."
Also, not buying a new car (EV or not) is the most environmentally friendly choice you can make.

I spent two years working in Dubai, from 2019 to 2021. I hardly view them as anything but intelligent and ruthless. The upper - upper-middle class studied in the western world, they know more than you think. Plus they have a shitload of money. Don't underestimate the Saudis just because they stick to some weird customs.
At Toyota dealers you pay over MSRP, at Tesla they just repeatedly raise the MSRP...
Speaking of annoying email lists, spammers are using government state/federal email lists that dont need confirmation. Trolls can just sub people up to hundreds of daily emails. How about spam someone all the train/bus schedules for a city? DOT updates, parks and rec, health updates, DHS, ICE, weather, etc.

You cant just remove yourself with replying either, you have to go to a website and remove them, either 1 at a time or if lucky a unsubscribe all.

But its ironic the government email lists are being abused to such an extent to annoy people.

I had users get caught in such an attack, but easily enough to just spam their domains. Hammer solution, but quick fix.
Not using 'up to' is opening up all kinds of other cans of worms.

Ok, 100mbps.... to where? The switch you're plugged into? The router at the data center? Some other random host in the network? Some other random host outside the network?

So yea, everything on almost every network without a dedicated circuit is 'up to' simply because you can make no other guarantees.
It's not an abuse of a system to use it in the way it was advertised. If it says unlimited, then it's unlimited.

"All you can eat" means all the individual customer can eat (usually within a time frame). If you offer it and then stop offering food when customers (in your opinion) eat too much, then that's fraud.
