No offense, but it's hard to know whether I should trust you with my phone number: your "about us" page 404s[1] and your CEO is a...founder of a bitcoin ATM company[2]? I can't even figure out what service you sell -- it looks like an MVNO but with some additional security promises?

I think at one company I worked, our discount specifically excluded data transfer. It is X% off for all AWS services not including their data transfer costs (both inter-AZ and extra-VPC). It makes sense to me that AWS, with their networking-heavy pricing, negotiates on services and data transfer separately.
You can buy old numbers. There are privacy laws we have to follow.
Pretty good. I entered an old Google Voice number I haven't used in a while, and it correctly listed all of my addresses back to my early childhood, what I minored in in college, and the pseudonym I use on Facebook.

The "doxx me score" gauge is cheesy, and I have a negative reaction toward seeing those from disreputable banner ads around the internet.

It's not clear to me how the service you are selling (SIM swapping protection) and the privacy report are related.

Do you want to clarify what data you are recording as part of offering this service?

> We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service. What data we store, we’ll protect within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss and theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

What services are you getting the information from?
I have to disagree with that, snapchat was just as innovative if not more so in the early days of tiktok and musically in the space around camera filters and editing.

There are two big things that make tiktok unique. The for you page, and shared sounds that are able to go very viral rapidly. No other platform has been able to circulate viral videos as quickly as tiktok has proven to be able to, and the for you page, rather than encouraging people to actually follow individual accounts, means that people are actually seeing the videos that keep them on the app the longest (and in turn off other apps), rather than having to curate their own feeds.
It is functionally free if you were going to pay for the same service from the same carrier for that period of time anyways.
Especially in the UK. It’s cheaper to take a flight between Manchester and London than jt is to take a train.

But the train is the more convenient option, because you don’t have to deal with the security circus at the airport.
I tried it with both of my numbers and there was a lot of information, but only half of it seemed to be accurate.

Some of it was from family members who were apparently conflated with me, and some of it didn't ring any bells at all.

It had all of my recent addresses, and many more that I had never heard of, including cities I've only visited once or twice and two countries I've never been to in my life.

One phone number had 4 SSN's associated with it, and while the site doesn't show you the actual digits of the SSN, it does say the state it was issued in. All 4 were from different states, and none were from the state I was actually born in.

Ask HN: Anyone move from Airtable to somewhere else?
Hi all,

What providers have you moved to from Airtable?

I am trying to hear what people are using instead of it.

I love Airtable, but I am hitting the record limit, and they make it impossible to upgrade to a higher limit. Right now I am juggling two bases but I would like to find something that supports my workflow better.

Thanks!

Took a risk and used it, like other people here.
Then I saw the price for what they are selling. $100 a month?! Wow! Isn't there some other way to lock down this info?
Oh man, mine was actually kind of alarming. It even told me my SSN was issued in California. All the info looked accurate except for an "associated address" in Ohio that I don't recognize.
I've used `systemd-analyze` for whole boot process overview. Thanks to your suggestions I can dig deeper.

Startup finished in 12.132s (firmware) + 1.822s (loader) + 2.106s (kernel) + 1.352s (initrd) + 10.098s (userspace) = 27.513s

Thanks for the clarification. So I learnt executable isn't the same as portable.

In this sense, we cannot say "C is portable"?
Since we need to compile it for each platform; the same for java, we need to run the bytecode on each platform's virtual machine, and the compiler/virtual machine isn't built-in along with most os.

Then back to node.js, since v8/bun is not built-in on most os, so we cannot say it's portable right?

What a great article if not for only the context of what Native populations of the American northeast would eat! Boiled horse hoof is making me laugh because it sounds horrendous, but hey don’t know til you try.
I also got a kick out of the woman saying something like “first week captive I couldn’t eat, second week I ate a little, third week everything tasted amazing”.
Of course the Native population knew how to eat well and had an incredibly diverse food system! Even Native people in comparatively extreme (elevation/desert etc) environments like modern Mexico City or the American southwest (and beyond) thrived.
The author left out "software engineer" - too close to the bone, perhaps, given his bio as presented below the article, but still a term that could easily be given the same treatment as any on this list.
Dear All,
I've used jira for at least 10 years now, probably more. While it's better than Excel I do find it a bit onerous to use and a bit too bulky. As my friend said to me "If Bin Laden was hiding inside jira's UI they never would have found him!". I found that more and more time was being taken up in sprint planning and refinement in doing what jira wanted me to do, not what my team and I wanted to do. For that reason I had a crack at creating my own. It's http://CrowdPassion.com

I'm really keen to hear what you think of it - in particular does the site do a good enough job of how to sign up and get going with it?

Thanks for your time! Rob
Micron Computers had a fantastic website, with a no-frills configurator that let you customize nearly every component. They also offered solid upgrades to sound and video cards, and even Trinitron monitors.

I'm seeing active attempts to raise the minimum cost of living in the entire article, the idea that we want affordable housing is absurd. Clearly people want expensive housing to drive all the poor people out of the neighborhood.
What are the data sources for this? I'm curious because it returns a lot of garbage for me with a few real results mixed in, and I want to know which things to throw more garbage at.
Even the Seattle to Portland route, probably the best on the west coast, has issues. A flight takes about 50 mins and can be had for about $60. Alaska Airlines runs flights at least once an hour all day long. From 6am until midnight.

The train takes 3.5 hours (often closer to 4 and I've had it take more than 5 just because of freight priority). The train makes 4 trips a day (one being a longer route that is usually delayed) and the timing means that any business trip will probably require an overnight stay. The train is only $27 though because both states (especially WA) heavily subsidize the route.

In the end, it really comes down to where in the metro areas your trip begins and ends as to which works out best. For us, the train station saves about an hour of ground transport time compared to the airports and we can arrive much closer to departure, so the train works best. For plenty of others, the airport will be faster and probably easier logistically.
>I think it would be a miracle if any product could teach you how to cook and get you food in 5 minutes.

I mean, TikTok and Youtube do this with simple recipes by the thousands.

Good luck with this idea, but I think it might be targeted at a very precise type of user that is interested in food facts and maybe one day learning how to make simple dishes.

The only thing I hated about losing hair was the transition period where you're uncertain about whether it's really happening, at what rate, and what to do about it; but, once that decision is made - it's nothing but relief and I'm at peace with the size-1 permastubble. As a bonus, one tiny frown and no one talks to you, so that's an unexpected benefit.

Even if a 'cure' comes out, I wouldn't touch it because vanity is a young man's game. But if we gain some deeper medical or biological understanding from this, all the better.
This is me! As a kid I couldn't wait to have a beard, and always had 'pretty hair'.

Now as an adult I have a rough beard and baby soft scalp hair. The extreme difference in how it feels bothers me to no end, but women dig it so they ask me to grow it out.

Both look good grown out, but I hate being bothered by it. Beards need to be upkept and mine can be itchy the 1st few nonths. Long scalp hair loojs good but is such a pain, especially in the summer. And mine being so soft every small puff of wind can and will blow it in my face and eyes, I'm constantly moving it back out of my face.

So I prefer short as possible but it never ends up that way =(

I always think of Rikus the Mul from the Dark Sun boom series. Half human and half dwarf they were completely hairless. I would love that.

No shaving, no haircuts, no being embarrassed by hairdressers playing with my hair and turning red when they compliment me. I don't know why this only happens 'in the chair'.

I've wished for a laser system that could run down my body and just shave everything but my eyebrows. If need-be I could get used to no eyebrows.

I'd gladly sell my head hair for people's transplants if they ever get that figured out.
Well, XR regularly lasted about 2 days for me. I didn’t have to think about charging almost at all.
In the context of freight, it is the lone standard because as another commenter pointed out, throughput is more important than latency in bulk goods transport whereas latency is a much more important variable when passengers are involved.

US rail owners and operators know what the variables are that they care about and their customers care about are, and also what insurance companies care about and as a result, they are adept at moving goods coast to Great Lakes to coast, across the Appalachians, Missouri-Mississippi river system, the Great Plains, the Rockies, the Great Basin, the Sierra Nevadas, the Cascades and the California Coastal Range.

If they’re not using some software package or have complete sensor coverage on their tracks, they probably judged that they don’t need it. If a competitor actually finds advantage with these things tomorrow, then they will all adopt it.
I want to second this recommendation.

This commencement speech that Wallace gave is deeply moving and thought-provoking to me every time I listen to it -- and I have probably heard it at least 10 times.

I have shared it with others, most of whom have had a very similar reaction to it.
The effect you're looking for is motion blur. You can actually get a "video game like" effect with a real camera too if a scene is very well lit and you chose a large aperture size and very fast shutter speed. It looks similarly jerky.

What you suggest trying is actually possible with quite some games/engines. Some other commenter mentioned the source engine, I did it once with trackmania a good decade ago. It does very much amplify the feeling of speed.
i'm not fearful per se, i like to be prepared and am doing some due diligence before blindly doing something. there's a lot of time waste that goes into anything early on, and you always look back and say "man if i only i had advice i could have not wasted years" and that's my reasoning here
Levy is wrong. There, I said it.

American growth of the last 80 years is incompatible with the future of the world. You won't save a sprawly mess by putting a high speed rail station in the center of it.

If it was an important city before the age of the automobile, it has a chance. Put the "future" rail network in the cities that have a future.

Point number two, and probably even more important than the first, is the fact that you have to get your plan through a million committees, and through Congress, etc. You need support. His plan won't get it. Too much of it goes through places that hate trains and "socialism". And then it tells the people that have nostalgic memories of a railroad that lifted their family out of the Jim Crow south to go pound sand. His plan will never go further than his blog :)

Would you like an analogy to this situation?

Everybody in tech has incredible ideas for the future. But the startup world is littered with companies that have had no success at all getting from point A to point B despite billions in VC money.

Europe (the continent) is slightly bigger than the entirety of the USA...

I think it’s completely fair to characterize the quote—which talks about the “reassertion of white masculine power”—as trying to create an assertion with “white supremacy.” (In the modern academic sense of the phrase, not literal KKK members.) The completely gratuitous association with “white masculinity” is, in fact, at odds with the fact that pickup trucks are popular with Black and Hispanic people too, for the same reasons they’re popular with white people. Yes it’s about masculinity, but there is no racial component to it.

As to “rolling coal”—that’s the example in the immediately preceding text, but it’s in the context of several paragraphs discussing climate and the environment, under the bolded subheading of “petro-masculinity.” I don’t think it’s a stretch to say the quote about “white masculine power” is directed at the fuel inefficiency of pickup trucks generally, rather than rolling coal specifically.
With Battlefield 5 Dice Stockholm did the roadmap promise thing then just didn’t add the features.

From what I understand, tabler is just a UI template. So if you want build a dashboard application, you have to build all things, like user management, visualizations etc yourself?

I am a happy user of grafana. All things are there. Tabler looks good and also the responsive UI is really cool, but building all the backend for a dashboard application will be a challenging endeavour. Using grafana or metabase seems fine...
I'm saying most amateur games do run fast enough, and that for those which don't, the bottleneck is more likely to be related to poor caching, unnecessary allocations or unoptimized assets, etc, rather than just the language used. You really have to go out of your way nowadays to actually slow a game down with just bad code.

And many of the idioms people abide by may no longer be relevant, or may only be relevant in niche but not general cases.
And this is why we can't trust the threat of class action to hold companies accountable.

I agree with you that their TOS and all the contracts say 'we leave the business you lose your content'. They are within their legal right to do that.

However is it the right thing to do? Will it damage their reputation to do that?

If they wanted to dodge that beating they'd offer steam/epic/xbox/ps5/switch keys to their customers to claim. Any game their customer bought is probably over a year old at this point and they can cut a deal with the publishers to get deeply discounted keys and eat the costs.
The root of the problem is that when you're accused, you cannot confront your accuser.

This is a right guaranteed by the US Constitution, but then someone decided that it only applied to 'criminal' complaints as opposed to 'civil' complaints.

This is the result. The process becomes the punishment.

If the accused could confront his accusers, that would put a stop to a lot of this real quick.

Oh, yeah, that sounds pretty good. My main point is that you want to connect the long train to short trains.

In theory, if Raleigh and Richmond (both very "blue" cities and maybe open to it) built LRT systems, you could get another route in DC-Richmond-Raleigh-Charlotte-Atlanta, where the other three have existing intracity rail.

I think this article sums things up nicely.

The SE is a very right design.

I think it’s its soft edges that I really like.

I’d be happy if they could swap the lightning for USB-c and squeeze in a slightly larger screen but even if they can’t I’d be happy if they just kept roughly as is.

The SE is dull and boring in all the most wonderful ways. It’s the phone you buy if you don’t want to talk to people about phones.

Well, the smaller the number of purchases the less impactful the negative marketing effects. The larger the purchases, the higher the financial impact on Google.

Further, Google exited this market. Do they really care about marketing to these people anymore? Their main revenue is non-consensual tracking, it's not like being mad at Google is going to matter unless you really go out of your way because of it.
